Supreme Court of Arkansas

Vincent Standridge

April 17, 2025708 S.W.3d 773

Summary

The court held that the school district’s policy barring intradistrict transfer students from extracurricular activities for one year violates the statute protecting students from exclusion based solely on transfer status. It reversed and remanded for judgment invalidating that policy but affirmed dismissal of the equal-protection, parental-rights, and abuse-of-power claims. The court also directed that the mandate issue immediately.
