Little Rock School District’s 2024 Student Legislative Summit held at Capitol

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The fiscal session may be concluded but Little Rock School District’s Student Legislative Summit was just gaveled in.

LRSD’s 2024 Student Legislative Summit was held at the Arkansas Capitol on Friday. During the summit, students dug into topics and directions the district is taking that work, and what changes they’d like to see when it comes to the future of their education.

The students get the chance to connect with educators and legislators and vice-versa to work on topics that are a concern to all involved to bring positive changes.

Parkview Arts and Science Magnet 9th grader India Smith is the chair of the strategic planning committee and president of her freshman class.

“I think maybe I could run for office,” she said. “And I believe I would have a great support system and I would make the world a better place for everybody.”

The summit also serves to inspire the future generation.
