Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) is one of four public school districts in Pulaski County, Arkansas; the others are the Little Rock School District, the North Little Rock School District, and the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District; that is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education. PCSSD has its headquarters in Sweet Home, an unincorporated area near Little Rock.
The current Pulaski County Special School District was established in July 21, 1927 by referendum pursuant of Act 152 of the 1927 Arkansas Acts by the Arkansas legislature joining thirty-eight independent school districts into a "special" school district. Now the second largest (by student population) in the state after the Little Rock School District, the PCSSD is among the 500 largest in the United States. Geographically, PCSSD is the state's fifth largest district and encompasses a total 729 square miles (1,890 km2), and includes all areas of the county—incorporated and unincorporated—excluding areas within the city limits of Little Rock, Cammack Village and North Little Rock.
