LRSD Central High Art Teacher bodyslams female student

On May 19th, a LRSD Central High employee sent us a video of a white teacher bodyslamming a Black female student.

Based on information provided to us, two Black female student were fighting and two teachers intervened.

In the video one teacher can be observed to be restraining one of the girls and the other teacher grabs the other girl, lifts her up into the air and slams her onto the floor. Then he can be seen standing over her as a LRPD School Resource Officer ("SRO") arrives.

After we posted the video on social media outlets, another Central High employee contacted us and gave us his name - Jason McCann and that the student he attacked was a 9th grader. They also told us that Nancy Rousseau, the long in the tooth Central High Principal recently forced into retirement, was trying to keep the incident secret. That teacher also told us that McCann had been involved in another student violence incident recently. McCann attacked a Black male student over the student's use of a cellphone. Was that student trying to document McCann's violent behavior towards students of color?

McCann's actions are unjustifiable. He needs to be terminated immediately.

We have requested a copy of his personnel file from LRSD and will be updating this story.

***UPDATE - 05-20-26***

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette published a story today that reported McCann has been suspended and a report has been filed with the Arkansas Department of Human Services Child Maltreatment hotline.

***UPDATE - 05/21/26***

LRSD Attorney David Kizzia provide us a copy of McCann's personnel file.

Based on available public records, McCann is married and lives in Maumelle, AR.

McCann has a daughter that attends UCA in Conway, AR (he has another younger daughter and son too).

Wonder how he would have reacted if when she was in the 9th grade at Central High (she got to go there because her daddy was a LRSD employee) , she was bodyslammed by a male teacher? Wonder what she thinks about her daddy's violence towards people of color?

Stay tuned for updates.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...
