Vacant School Buildings Boarded-Up

By Tammy Moore Teague
As the school year came to a close, so did the doors of Hartford’s Public Schools (see related story). Over the past few days workers began boarding the windows and doors in all the buildings.
The barriers came as an effort to preserve the building, and keep out thieves and vandals.  However, to some in the community, this further added to their feeling of loss.
The status of the proposed Charter School is still in the works. Even if the school is approved, it remains unclear where it would convene. Committee Member, Sherry Barnes and others will travel to Little Rock in August to seek final approval.
