The superintendent of the Little Rock School District is stepping down. Jermall Wright has led the district since summer of 2022. He will stay on until there is a transition plan in place. The announcement came in a letter, Thursday afternoon.
“It has been an honor and privilege to work alongside the board and staff,” the letter said. “To usher in significant changes in district operations all geared towards student outcomes.”
The letter contained a list of accomplishments he was proud of from his tenure. This included decreasing the number of schools with an “F” rating and bringing up graduation rates.
