Pulaski County Special School District

Today, we recognize Board President, Stephen Delaney of Zone 1. His superpower is Invisibility because he believes a school board member should never be the Main Character. Students, parents, and staff should be put first. #serveall #pcssdproud

It's School Choice Week! Each day, we'll share info to help families navigate the many educational options. School Choice is an option for families who do not live within a school zone but wish to attend that district's schools. https://trst.in/SN8msv #pcssdproud #serveall

PCSSD is aware of controversy surrounding comments made by a board member in a Facebook group. However, it is not an administrative function of the District to police its school board members' speech. School board members are elected officials accountable to the voters.

Students at SHERWOOD ELEMENTARY turned the snow days into STEM fun. They charted the most shopped items during a snowstorm (milk, bread & eggs), & decided what they'd buy. Then, using the AVID strategy - quick write, explained what they would use it for. #pcssdproud #serveall
