At approximately 10:08 am this morning, a teacher received a report that a student potentially had a weapon on campus. That teacher immediately notified the principal and SRO so they could investigate the issue. After the investigation, it has been determined that a statement had been made as a joke and it was overheard and then reported. THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS NEVER A WEAPON OR A THREAT ON THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS. Student safety is the number one priority of Westside Consolidated Schools and all students are safely learning at this time.
Scott Gauntt,
Superintendent, Westside Schools

The Arkansas School Board Association (ASBA) announced that January is School Board Recognition Month in Arkansas.
As publicly elected school leaders, Arkansas school board members set policy for their respective districts. Under state law, they are empowered to hire and evaluate the superintendent, oversee district finances, approve the budget, and determine the vision and mission of the district. School boards must also approve the curriculum and ensure the district maintains adequate facilities for teaching and learning.
In addition to their board duties, state law requires Arkansas school board members to earn a minimum of six hours of professional development each year in areas related to their role and responsibilities.
Thank you Westside School Board members for your countless hours you give to ensure the success of our students.
Members serving our district are as follows: Jeffrey Tubbs, Sam Hiser, Myca Ferguson, Josh Cureton and Shannon Davis.
