PCSSD taken over by state

State education officials have announced their takeover of the Pulaski County Special School District. The district's finances are in a mess. The Arkansas Department of Education also removed the superintendent, Charles Hopson, and dissolved the school board. At the same time, the department took over the Helena-West Helena district. The PCSSD, as it's known, is one of the Little Rock area districts that is involved in a dispute over desegregation funding.
