Teresa Bloodman brought this civil rights action for declaratory and injunctive relief on behalf of her minor son, who at the time was an Arkansas public school student enrolled in Maumelle High School in the Pulaski County Special School District. Following an earlier remand by this Court, the District Court 1 — after learning that Bloodman’s son had transferred to another school district — stayed discovery and dismissed as moot the remaining claim, with prejudice. Bloodman appeals.

After careful consideration of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the District Court’s discovery rulings were not an abuse of discretion. See Roberts v. Shawnee Mission Ford, Inc., 352 F.3d 358, 360 (8th Cir. 2003) (standard of review). Further, dismissal for lack of jurisdiction was proper. See Doe v. Nixon, 716 F.3d 1041, 1051 (8th Cir. 2013) (reviewing de novo the district court’s decision to grant a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because of mootness). We also conclude, however, that the remaining claim should have been dismissed without prejudice. See County of Mille Lacs v. Benjamin, 361 F.3d 460, 464 (8th Cir. 2004) (“A district court is generally barred from dismissing a case with prejudice if it concludes subject matter jurisdiction is absent.”).

*530 Accordingly, we modify the judgment to be without prejudice, and we affirm the judgment as modified. We also deny the pending motion.
