History

In 2005 the school district's budget was projected to be negative by $2.3 million the following year. On September 8, 2005, the Arkansas Board of Education temporarily assumed control under the terms of the Omnibus Quality Education Act and made former Little Rock Central High School principal Rudolph Howard the superintendent of Helena-West Helena; Helena-West Helena was the first school district to undergo this form of control. In 2008 the budget had a positive balance of $5.7 million.[3]

The district had 2,714 students circa 2008.[3]

As of 2011 the district has over 2,833 students and 283 employees.[4]

gollark: But if it's `Nothing`, it just returns `Nothing`.
gollark: The thing which makes it monady is that you can do `x >>= f`, which in this case takes a `Maybe` x, and if it is `Just a`, passes that `a` to `f`, which then returns another `Maybe`.
gollark: Anyway, ignoring LyricLy, the bee entity: `Maybe` can be `Just x`, representing that it has an x, or `Nothing`, representing that it contains *no* x. You can do `return`/`pure`, which gives you a `Just x` for any `x`.
gollark: Or possibly binary. Something like that.
gollark: Those are different, I think it just means "Unary operator" in APL.
