Bentonville Schools

Here the RN role sits inside School Health Services: assessment, screening, planning, intervention, evaluation, and counseling with students, including on-site postings such as the International School at Mary Mae Jones. If you take the substitute route, you work on call through Kelly Education for BPS Health Services. You pick a flexible schedule and preferred school locations, and pay is weekly. Kelly lists paid orientation, free online training, and ACA healthcare if you qualify. Third-party estimates for that substitute RN path land around $30,000–$50,000 a year—not a published district direct-hire scale. The district reports about 20,167 students, a 14:1 student-teacher ratio, and average class size of 20, and it is often named among stronger Arkansas systems. A planned Bentonville Health Care Campus partnership is expanding Ignite Professional Studies, including Health Sciences. One clear tradeoff: substitute nurses are Kelly hires, and you pay $49.25 out of pocket for Arkansas DESE background clearance.

Employee recognition includes an Extra Mile Award and Outstanding Service Award program. District partnerships (including Ignite Professional Studies with health-sciences pathways) point toward career-connected learning for students.
