The Arkansas Department of Health continues to provide guidance for Arkansans who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 and have been recommended to quarantine.
January is School Board Appreciation Month and we asked our board members to share a little about themselves.
Stephen Delaney likes reading newspapers on microfilm at the library. He enjoys the old political cartoons and Cynthia Howell/George Bentley stories covering past Arkansas K-12 education issues. Jon Kennedy is his favorite cartoonist but George Fisher is a close second.
One thing he's learned during the pandemic is just how crucial public education is for EVERYONE including those without school-age children. We all need healthy, safe, and functional public schools!
Thank you, Stephen, for your dedication to PCSSD!
