LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) — If you get hurt, some may say ‘shake it off.’ Yet, you just can’t shake off a concussion.
A blow to the head in sports like football is common, but so are concussions. The Centers for Disease Control says a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury when your brain actually moves quickly back and forth.
First, to all PCSSD parents, students, teachers, and staff – welcome back! I’m never happier than when our buses are running, our schools are bustling with students, and we’re back in the swing of learning. This was the first week of school for students in the Pulaski County Special School District after a long summer of careful preparation. I know everything has not gone perfectly. A few buses have been late, we had some traffic issues, and some student schedules needed to be corrected. But overall, things have gone well. Very, very well!
Dr. Tom Kimbrell, Commissioner of Education for the state of Arkansas, welcomes teachers and administrators back to school with a challenge for the 2012-2013 school year.
Our condolences go out to the family of retired PCSSD Superintendent and Executive Director of the Arkansas School Boards Association J. K. Williams, who passed away Wednesday, July 18, at the age of 86.
