Turrell School District

Turrell School District or Turrell Public Schools was a school district headquartered in Turrell, Arkansas. It operated Turrell Elementary School and Turrell High School.

The Turrell High School mascot was the Rockets and its boys basketball teams won two consecutive Class A state basketball championships in 1999 and 2000 and the girls won the state title in 1987.

History

In 2010 the district had 250 students; under Arkansas law a school district with under 350 students consistently must merge with another district. Turrell School District on its own tried to merge with another district but the attempt did not finish. The Arkansas Board of Education voted to consolidate the Turrell district with the Marion School District despite objections from the superintendent of the Marion district, Don Johnston; he stated the Marion district was already racially balanced, that Marion already absorbed the Crawfordsville School District in 2004, that the schools in Marion did not have enough room for more students, and that the transportation distance from Turrell to Marion was too far.[1]

On July 1, 2010,[2] the former Turrell School District consolidated with the Marion district and thus closing the former Turrell High School.[1]

gollark: ... no.
gollark: Thus bad.
gollark: It does NOT allow random access.
gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™️ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end, finds the latest versions and decompresses stuff at the right offsetThere are some important considerations here: it should be able to deal with damaged/partial files, encryption would be nice to have (it would probably work to just run it through authenticated AES-whatever when writing), adding new files shouldn't require tons of seeking, and it might be necessary to store backups on FAT32 disks so maybe it needs to be able of using multiple files somehow.
