South Pike County School District to be formed
The Arkansas State Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the the voluntary administrative annexation of the Delight School District into the Murfreesboro School District. The annexation will form the newly named South Pike County School District, effective July 1.
On February 25, the ADE received a petition for Voluntary Administrative Annexation of the Delight School District into the Murfreesboro School District. The Delight School District is on the 2010 “Act 60” Consolidation List, meaning that the district must be consolidated with or annexed into one (1) or more districts as the district has fallen below 350 average daily student membership for both the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years.
The current student population of the Murfreesboro School District is 545 students (482 White, 26 Hispanic, 24 African-American).
