IT STILL DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PCSSD IS OPERATING THEIR PUBLIC T-A-X PAID SCHOOL DISTRICT IN LEGAL GOOD FAITH
We Creoles KNOW that ratified actions like disciplinary actions are N-O-T
"exempt from disclosure", per Arkansas State Attorney General Mike Beebe's NUMEROUS legal opinions on the subject. This is just another attempt to ILLEGALLY obstruct justice and public info.
Oh, there are several other broken FOIA laws here...stay tuned. In the mean time, check this crap out (btw,we don't blame Ms. Alford, she's just a secretary following instructions for a R.I.C.O. tainted paycheck):

Dear Dr. Clowers:
The Equity Assistance Center (EAC) within the Arkansas Department of Education has responsibility of providing technical assistance to school districts to enable them to meet their civil rights and desegregation responsibilities as they relate to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Race and National Origin), Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 (Gender), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Disability ) and Standard I of the Standards for Accreditation of Arkansas Public Schools. These laws require that programs and activities be operated in a manner to ensure that people that meet the programs' qualifications and eligibility requirements are given equal educational opportunity to participate regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex or disability.
The EAC offers technical assistance to help Arkansas public school districts achieve voluntary compliance by understanding their legal obligations, and to serve those protected by the laws. As part of our technical assistance activities, the EAC conducts on-site visits, workshops, program reviews, distributes information, guidelines,
procedures and materials setting requirements in the area of civil rights and describing the process for compliance determination.
This letter is a follow-up to the complaint filed against the School in the Pulaski County Special School District alleging that the school district violated regulations concerning racial Discrimination, Anti- Bullying and Gang Violence policies.
During the course of our review, we collected data, interviewed personnel, and received information relevant to the matter. Based on the information sent to us by your district and considering the
allegations of discrimination on the basis of race, gang violence, and anti-bullying, we are concerned the allegations against the School and Pulaski County Special School District may be valid regarding discrimination and failing to enforce the Anti-Bullying and Gang Violence policies.
Based on this information, the school district may be in violation of the Student Handbook concerning grievance procedures in the following areas:
* School did not properly conduct a thorough investigation and did
not present a final investigative report providing proper documentation
* School did not interview a sufficient number of persons
regarding gang activity... Click here for FULL ADE REPORT
Should you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or Mr. Keyth Howard at (501) 682-4213
Respectfully yours,
Oliver Dillingham, Program Manager
Equity Assistance Center
