How elections in nine school districts may affect funding

Nine school districts whose residents rejected millage increases earlier this month will soon be in discussions with Arkansas education officials about funding for school facility improvements. If the failed votes affect the districts' master plans, a determination will have to be made as to whether any safety, health or adequacy issues are impacted. The nine districts identified by Eaton are Blytheville, Caddo Hills, Clarksville, Clarendon, Genoa Central, Greenwood, Harmony Grove (the Saline Co. school, not Ouachita Co.), Helena-West Helena and Westside Consolidated.
