The Pine Bluff School District board and administration are breaking one law and portend to break another. They're not alone.
Specifically, Act 120 requires districts to list names, positions, email addresses, and terms of all school board members on the district's website. The Pine Bluff School District lists accurate names, positions and emails, but posts inaccurate terms for three members: Bonita Corbin (Zone 6) and Patrick Lockett (Zone 7), whose terms are posted as expiring in 2030, and Charles Colen (Zone 5), whose term is posted as expiring in 2028.
According to Act 503 ( www.arkleg.state.ar.us/Home/FTPDocument?path=%2FACTS%2F2025R%2FPublic%2FACT503.pdf) , sponsored by Rep. Brit McKenzie and Sen. Jane English, only those elected in 2025 may have terms expiring in 2030.
