The district is headquartered in the Julius S. Brown Administration Building in White Hall. The district serves White Hall and a portion of Pine Bluff. The district boundaries include the Jefferson County Industrial Park.[2]

In addition to most of White Hall and portions of Pine Bluff, the district also serves Redfield.[3]

History

Jack Foster, a former alderman of the City of Pine Bluff, argued that the setup of the WHSD boundaries is preventing the Dollarway School District from getting necessary funding. The superintendent of WHSD, Larry Smith, stated that Foster's criticism was based on a misunderstanding as the state government had determined the school district boundaries, not the districts themselves.[2]

gollark: Possibly.
gollark: I mean that the expensiveness is probably a consequence of other weirdness, like the way the whole "prestige" thing with it seem to work, and that apparently much of the value in it is just signalling and not education.
gollark: The US's college system seems kind of insane, and would probably be less expensive if it wasn't like that.
