Jacksonville - Jacksonville residents who want to create their own school district are asking a federal judge to create a process for doing so if the North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special districts are declared desegregated.
Jacksonville is currently part of the Pulaski County district. Former Pulaski County school board member Reedie Ray, retired attorney Ben Rice and state Rep. Mark Perry made the request in a court brief to U.S. District Judge Brian Miller.
The three want Miller to set an election date on a proposal to remove Jacksonville and north Pulaski County from the Pulaski County Special School District. Miller has two sets of hearings next month to determine whether the North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special districts are now desegregated.
