Pocahontas School District would like to provide clarification regarding language that appears on the March 3 Preferential Primary ballot.
The district is NOT proposing a millage increase.
Article 14, Section 3 of the Arkansas Constitution requires all school districts to place their current millage rate before voters each year, regardless of whether any change is being proposed. The language appearing on the March 3 ballot reflects the rate currently being collected and is included in compliance with state law and the Arkansas Consititution.
This requirement applies to all school districts across Arkansas and does not indicate an increase.
Pocahontas School District remains committed to transparency and ensuring our community has accurate information.

Student voice matters at Pocahontas School District. Mr. Green recently led our Senior Advisory Council in meaningful conversation about leadership, school culture, and the experiences that shape the Class of 2026. These students continue to represent their peers well — sharing honest feedback, thoughtful ideas, and a genuine commitment to making PHS even better.
We are grateful for leaders who listen and seniors who lead.
We are aware of rumors circulating among high school students today regarding a possible threat to the school.
School administrators immediately investigated the situation and have determined there is no credible threat and no safety concerns at this time. Student and staff safety remains our highest priority, and we take every report seriously.
We will continue to monitor the situation and appreciate our students and families for helping prevent the spread of misinformation. We encourage families to speak with their students about the importance of reporting concerns directly to school staff rather than sharing rumors.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in keeping our school community safe.

Thank you for keeping our campuses safe, and being part of the Redskin family.❤️

Dr. Lance Arbuckle recently completed a 20-month leadership development program designed to deepen expertise in governance, instructional leadership, and future-focused system leadership.
Dr. Arbuckle shared, “Great districts don’t stand still - and neither should their leaders. This experience strengthened my commitment to ensuring every decision we make is grounded in what is best for children and aligned to the future our community wants for them. I’m leaving with fresh perspectives, deeper connections, and a continued commitment to our students and communities.” #NCE2026
A warm salute to our nation's great leaders - Happy Presidents' Day
