Census Contest Winner!

Congrats to our winner of the fan fav 2020 census photo contest - Khaya Bridgeforth from King Elementary. Khaya will be awarded a gift certificate. Thanks for helping bring awareness to the census message, Khaya; and thanks to all who participated! Your photos will be included in a District promotional video reminding our LRSD family of the importance of participating in the census. #LRSDCounts!

Help us spread the word to encourage Little Rock families to participate in the 2020 Census. Completing the census is quick and easy, and helps determine how many federal dollars flow to cities and states – directly impacting education.
