SUMMARY: In North Little Rock, parents and student-athletes are actively campaigning for the upcoming millage vote, canvassing neighborhoods to raise awareness. The goal is to educate voters on the importance of passing the millage increase, which would fund a new middle school, renovations to the main building, and a new sports complex. Last year’s proposal was rejected, but with a critical $20.8 million grant on the line, campaign co-chair Luke King emphasizes the need for approval. Concerns over higher property taxes are addressed, with an estimated $140-$150 increase for a $150,000 home. Voter registration for the May 13th special election ends Monday.

Parents and student-athletes in North Little Rock went door-to-door to prepare for the upcoming millage vote.
