JANUARY 25,1993   Deputys magic lights way for pupils BY JERRY DEAN Oemocral'Gazette Staff Writer Lt. Jerry Agnew, a Pulaski (ounty deputy sheriff, worked magic during a recent visit to Southwest Lillie Rocks Walson Elementary School. Some magic happened on stage with sleight of hand that Agnew  an amateur magician since he was 8  had taught himself. And some of the magic occurred a.s 200 first- through third-graders watched Agnews winking Stanley the Stoplight robot go through gyrations worthy of a mechanized Michael Jackson. Stanley, who wa.s designed by Agnew, 'gels down lo The Police Are on the Sti eels. a rock .song Agnew wrote for (he shows. Agnew performed his magic, though, only if pupils echoed (he magic word.s he taught them: / believe in viy^elf and in my dreams. I am a positive I-can person. It was Stanleys  and Agnews  second visit to Watson, a school east of Chicot Road on Valley Drive. Valley Drive, just south of a area once known as Sin City, wa.s among 14 streets listed in 1991 by the DIGNITY anti-drug group as sites where drug.s were dealt freely. ARer a half hour show, it was evident to Or. Diana Glaze. Watsons principal since 196, that Agnews show worked another lype of magic in the minds and hearts of hi.s audience. Pupils, sealed on the floor, eagerly craned their necks for a belter view. Thanks lo Stanley, few in that crowd will see a traffic light without remembering Stanleys true colors:  Red, which, as Agnew said, means not only that cars must stop  but that children must slop lo consider the consequences before joining gangs or taking drugs.  Amber caution lights, Agnew said, not only slow cars but should warn children of the hazards of medications. Medicine is good for you, Agnew said, only if taken as prescribed.  Green lights, the deputy said, mean traffic may proceed. But they also can remind children of the health, nappiness and good luck that await children who heed Stanleys other warning lights. Agnew also emphasized the importance of graduation. Nearly 99 percent of Arkansas inmates, the deputy said, never See ROBOTS, Page 8B bJI.V * utf Arkansas Democral-O8zel(9fl.8rry TrussaN uses this robot and his six others (some of which he designed) to give motivational speeches to schools around the county.  C..,' ROBO-COP  Lt. Jerry Agnew, a Pulaski County deputy sheriff, shows one of his robots to the children al Little Rocks Watson Elementary School recently. Agnew Robots  Continued from Page 2B completed high school. He recounted how his own youthful self-esteem had suffered until the Rev. George Tri-bou, rector of Little Rock Catholic High School, told him he was good-looking and smart and should believe in himself. After that, Agnew said, I did just fine. And he showed pupils enlarged photos of the housing project where he was reared, contrasted to that of the attractive brick home hes since bought for his family. Agnew also told pupils his mo.st prized possession, bul for his family, was a library card that had opened for him a world of subjects like magic and electronics. Agnew, who said he reads five books a week, urged pupils.to do the same. Glaze welcomed the lessons Agnew and Stanley brought the pupils, with help from Deputies Bob Scranton and Wells Autrey. Glaze, a veteran educator at R-i\\ JI several schools, said shed known third-graders who already were gang members. Shes learned gang signs that help her stay aware of any gang activity that arises. Stanley told the predominantly black audience that traffic lights were invented in 1923 by Garrett Augustus Morgan (1875-1963), a black American. Morgan was 48 when he sold the patent rights to General Electric for what then was a tidy fortune of $40,000. At age 37, Agnew added, Morgan had patented a gas mask which, after 1912, saved lives during World War I chlorine gas attacks. Such lessons, Glaze said, help bolster self-esteem among many of Watsons 462 pupils. Agnew was named by then- Sheriff Tommy Robinson in 1981 to direct the Junior Deputies youth program. He took to the job so well that, in 1986, Agnew was named National Deputy Sheriff of the Year. He since has developed several motivational programs urging youths to avoid pitfalls of crime, dropping out of school and substance abuse. At least 25 robots, spinoffs of his, work statewide in education programs of other law enforcement agencies. And the robot idea has been used by police in Kentucky and California. All Agnews robots were donated or bought with grants, not county tax money. Agnews programs reaches 40,000 children a year. His reward? Agnew, who once aspired to be a millionaire, earns a modest salary. He concedes hes no threat to the Trumps or Waltons. But I have fun at it, Agnew said. And it gives me satisfaction. 1 A i Aikansas Democrat gazette TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1994 Weekend vandals hit SWLR school - Vandals broke into LittleL Rocks Watson Elementaj'y..

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF V. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL DEFENDANTS MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL INTERVENORS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL INTERVENORS MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION For its motion, plaintiff Little Rock School District (LRSD)- states: 1. LRSD seeks approval of a construction project at Williams Magnet School. The proposed construction project and its impact upon LRSD's desegregation plan is described below. 2 . The proposed project which is the subject of this motion follows construction and renovation projects which have been completed or which are presently underway at schools in central and east Little Rock. A major construction project was undertaken at Washington school in east Little Rock. Washington was demolished and rebuilt on the same site at a cost of $4,932,377.00. The capacity of the new school is more than double the capacity of the building it has replaced. iciihyXConsiruction.Wil 3 . A new wing of ten classrooms was added to Franklin Incentive School and Franklin's cafeteria was remodeled in 1989. The cost of the Franklin project was $1,330,000.00. 4 . Rockefeller, Rightsell and Ish Incentive Schools were renovated. including reroofing. beginning in 1988 . Mitchell Incentive School was renovated at the same time. Stephens Incentive School received air conditioning, painting and carpeting. but was not renovated to the extent of the other buildings because of the plan to build a new Stephens school. The combined costs of the Rockefeller, Rightsell, Ish, Mitchell and Stephens projects was approximately $667,000.00. Capital improvements have also been made at Garland Incentive School at a cost, since 1988, in excess of $400,000.00. 5. LRSD has constructed a new Martin Luther King, Jr. Interdistrict School in central Little Rock. King Interdistrict School opened at the beginning of the 1993-94 school year. 6. Plans are underway for the construction in central Little Rock of a new Stephens Interdistrict School which is scheduled to begin operations for the 1994-95 school year. The LRSD Board of Directors voted on March 15, 1990 to seek to increase the LRSD millage rate by eight mils, five and one- half mils for maintenance and operation and two and one-half mils for debt service. The debt service mils were designated for capital improvement projects. LRSD committed to its patrons that certain improvement projects would be undertaken at Williams Magnet lcuihy\\Co(wiruciion.Wi| 7.School and other schools. The millage was approved by the voters on April 19, 1990. 8 . The \"Interdistrict Desegregation Plan\", which was approved by the Court of Appeals on December 12, 1990, requires that \"[a]11 construction shall be subject to the court's prior approval and shall promote desegregation\". Interdistrict Plan, p. 5. The recruitment of students to magnet schools remains an important component of LRSD's desegregation plan. LRSD Desegregation Plan, p. 139\nInterdistrict Plan, p.4. The proposed project at Williams Magnet School will contribute to LRSD's ability to provide quality, desegregated education. 9 . The proposed project at Williams Magnet School will expand the cafeteria to meet the needs of the present student body and to accommodate PTA meetings and other large gatherings. Williams presently holds its PTA meetings off campus at Hall High School. 10. The administration area at Williams Magnet School is adjacent to the cafeteria. LRSD proposes to construct a new administration area and to convert the present administration area into a multi-purpose area for indoor recreation which, because it will be adjacent to the cafeteria. may be used for expanded cafeteria space. 11. LRSD also proposes to convert the present multi-purpose area at Williams Magnet School into two classrooms. Seven classes are now taught in five portable buildings at Williams Magnet School. The conversion of the multi-purpose area into two kathy^Corwiniftion.Wilclassrooms will allow two of those classes to be housed in permanent location and will allow LRSD to remove one portable building from the Williams Magnet School campus. The proposed construction project will not result in a change in the number of magnet seats available at Williams Magnet School or a change in the process for filling those seats. The present capacity of Williams Magnet School is 550 students. The target enrollment established by the Magnet Review Committee is 517 students. The proposed project will not change the capacity of Williams Magnet School or the method by which seats at the school are allocated among the three Pulaski County school districts. 13 . The proposed construction project at Williams Magnet 12. a School will add approximately 4500 square feet to the total gross square footage of the school. The proposed project will also result in the renovation of approximately 3600 square feet of existing space into multi-purpose activity room and two a classrooms. The completion of the project will allow for the removal of one portable building. Following the completion of the project, four of the five portable buildings presently located on the Williams Magnet School campus will remain. 14. LRSD proposes to construct a new administrative area to the east of the present administrative space. Once this has been accomplished, the old administrative space will be demolished and converted into a cafeteria extension with a high ceiling and will be used as a multi-purpose room. Once the multi-purpose room has laihy^Construction.Wilbeen completed, the old multi-purpose room will be subdivided into two usable classrooms. LRSD anticipates that this work can be done during the 1993-94 school year with little, if any, disruption of academic activities. WHEREFORE, for the reasons set out above. the Little Rock School District prays for an order authorizing the construction project described above at Williams Magnet School. Respectfully submitted.

Brown, Federal Monitor 201 East Markham, Suite 510 Heritage West Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501)376-6200 Fax (501) 371-0100 Date: March 11, 1994 From: To: Subject: Melissa Guldin, Associate Monitor Julie Wiedower, Student Assignment Coordinator Little Rock School District Shadow Zone Seats at Williams Magnet School As you may recall, the issue of Williams shadow zone seats came up yesterday during the meeting we both attended at the Student Assignment OflSce. During that meeting I commented that the district had never met the requirement that 25% of the seats in Williams be reserved for students living in the shadow of the school. You said that the district assigned 15 neighborhood students to Williams for the 1993-94 school year and for the upcoming 1994-95 school year. If this is accuarte, 25% of the students entering the Williams kindergarten would be from the shadow zone. Your statement regarding the 15 shadow zone seats was not consistent with the information I received in a memo, dated 12/9/93, from Donna Grady Creer regarding the allotment of magnet seats. That document showed 10 seats allocated to LRSD white students. Since the vast majority of housing near the school is occupied by whites, I assumed and you later confirmed that the 10 white seats shown for LRSD represented the total shadow zone allotment. We discussed this issue during a meeting at your office on January 7, 1994. During that meeting I showed you the memo from Donna and you confirmed that it matched the magnet seat allocations you set for the 1993-94 school year. We even talked about the 10 shadow zone seats and the fact that 10 seats did not constitute 25% of the kindergarten classes. The figure of 10 was also mentioned at each of the recritmnet meetings held for Fair Park parents. In order to clear this up, I need some documentation regarding the LRSD policy on assignment of shadow zone seats to all magnet schools. Please furnish the following in writing:  Copy of the policy or procedures that govern allotment of shadow zone seats at each of the stipulation magnets  Definition of shadow zones  Number of seats allotted to shadow zone students during 1993 -94 and for the upcoming 1994-95 school year As Russ Mayo said at the meeting, I think it is important that we all have accurate information.

Why the change in the FTE's from 1993-94 to 1994-95? LRSD's Support Services Office counted bodies for the 1993-94 school year, rather than actual FTE's i\u0026gt;cuuox ratner FTE's.

CROSS REFERENCE Williams Principal Selection (see LRSD - Principal Selection Arkansas Democrat SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1994 O Little Rock Newspapers, Inc. LRSD board sets 11 goals for Williams BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette Education Writer efforts. The Little Rock School- Board has set 11 job goals for Superintendent Henry Williams, and the first three concern ending a 12\nyear-old de- segregation lawsuit, improving, student achievement and increasing white enrollment. Within the next two months, the board will attach financial, incentives to those three which are related to school desegregation The: amounts are yet to be decided. The goals result from a provision in Williams contract with the board. The board was supposed to identify the goals a year ago but delayed until l^ summer, when a three-member committee headed by board, member John Riggs IV began, work on the project. . Tm not going to comment on the goals. Williams said Fnday.. The goals have been printe^ See LRSD, Page 7B year ago LRSD  Continued from Page 1B and they stand for themselves. In response to an argument that the goals seemed overly ambitious, Linda Pondexter, board president and a committee member said\nWe didn't ask for pie Mvi. ------------ ,. _ I.

Each of the goals is either tied to desegregation or is just good planning for the school system, she said. ,  ,, The board voted 5-0 for the goals. Board members Katherine Mitchell and O.G. .lacovelli were absent. Board member Kevin O'Malley asked to table the issue because Mitchell had questions about the goals. However, no one else agreed to the delay. The first three of the 11 goals concern the desegregafion plan and may be the most difficult to meet. , To comply with the goal to end the desegregation lawsuit, the superintendent must develop a system to show the federal courts that the district complies with desegregation standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court. The superintendent also must win court approval of desegre-  gation plan changes that will eliminate ineffective obligations or obligations that have been sat- isfied. . . X The goal on improving student achievement calls for Williams to oversee efforts to reduce the achievement gap between black.s and whites by 4 to 8 percentlie points on the Stanford Achievement Test, eighth edition. However, The superintendent will ask the judge in the desegregation to consider the academic progress of students rather than just the difference between black and white test scores. Provisions of the achievement case goal also require the superintendent to show an increase in  student achievement using as evidence declining numbers ol  children who fail. Teachers and administrators must be trained in the skills necessary to close the black and white achievement gap on the tests. To increase the district s white enrollment, the superintendent must implement a recruitment plan. The goal is a 10 percent increase in whites annually until all schools meet racial balance guidelines set by the court. The remaining goals for the  superintendent are not as detailed. They include:  Submit accurate, complete documents to federal court and submit them on time.  Support each schools efforts to attain improvement plan goals.  Maintain a stable work force as measured by employee to reduce the need for those employees.  Produce an annual budget that is comprehensive and functional.  Develop new sources of revenue.  Establish and expand alternative education programs for students who are disciplinary problems or who otherwise arent succeeding in the regular classrooms.  Increase the number of students in advanced courses. Staff reporter Shareese Harold contributed to this story. ! ( tDemocrat :^(6azette * Saturday, January 29, 1994  Wright OKs expansion of cafeteria BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette Education Writer U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright issued an order this week allowing the Little Rock School District to enlarge the cafeteria at Williams Magnet School. The order was one of three the judge issued this week related to the 11-year-old Pulaski County school desegregation lawsuit. Wright denied the renovation request for Williams last April, saying she wanted data to show whether the construction would increase the size of the school or affect the number of children who attend the school from the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special school districts. The construction plans call for the cafeteria to be enlarged to take in the school office area, the construction of a new office area and the removal of one portable classroom. The renovation will allow physical education to be taught in the cafeteria. The art and music classes, now in a portable building, will be moved to what was the physical education room. Dr. Ed Jackson, school principal, said the cafeteria renovation will enable the school to hold Parent-Teacher Association meetings at Williams. Until now, the schools PTA was so large meetings had to be held at Hall High School. The PTA has more than 300 members. As a magnet school, PTA membership and attendance at meetings is mandatory for parents. Wright said in her order that the construction project wont adversely affect the schools racial ratio. On another matter, Wright denied a request from the Knight intervenors to reject a proposed increase in the 1993-94 budget for the federal Office of Desegregation Monitoring. The intervenors, who represent the teacher associations from the three school districts in the desegregation case, had argued the reasoning behind the request for a budget increase was wrong. The group had sought a hearing on the proposed budget and more information, but Wright said the information is readily available. The teachers can renew their request for a hearing after reviewing that information. In the third order, the judge allowed the Pulaski County Board of Education to substitute attorney Nelwyn Davis for Larry Vaught. Vaught recently was elected to a municipal judges position and no longer represents the five-member board. The boards involvement in the school case is limited to disputes about boundary changes for school board election zones.Arkansas Demcx:rat (fjazcttc  WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1995 LR superintendent among applicants for New York job BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette Education Writer Dr. Henry Williams, Little Rock School District superintendent for the past 16 months, is an applicant for the superintendent's post in Rochester, N.Y., where he Williams  Continued from Page 1A them.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1995 iZeUe Williams proposes 7 panels to assess integration advance BY CYNTHIA HOWELL DemocF8l Ga?ctte Education Writer Little Rock Superintendent Henry William.s proposed Thursday calling on committees of cm- ployee.s and community members to research how well the school district meets its desegregation obligations. Under Williams plan, the district would establish seven committees of 10 to 15 teachers, ad- niinislrators and residents. Those panels would assess the district's progress in eliminating all vestiges of what was once legal racial segregation and dis- committee plan on the U.S. Supreme Courts so-called Green factors. The high court has said in other desegregation cases that federal courts must consider a district's efforts in those areas before releasing the district from supervision. The school board is considering paying Williams a bonus of 5 percent of his annual base salary of $115,000 for each area in which the district is released from court supervision. For example, if Wright finds that the districts staff is racially bal- crimination schools. in anced, Williams would get a the public bonus of $5,750.

Committee members would be paid for the extra work, William.s said. That would cost the district from $12,000 to $15,000 per committee, or as much as $10.5,000 overall. The committees would be given six weeks to conduct research and submit reports to the board. . Dr. Russ Mayo, the districts bly the Feb. 23 board meeting. Board member Katherine Mitchell said she disagreed with a proposed incentive to give the superintendent a 5 percent bonus for every 5 percent increase in white students in the district, up to 50 percent white.

DECEMBER 13, 1996  Sheffield Owinss Hall High teacher cared, was a natural BY SHAREESE HAROLD ARKASSAS DEM(X'R_\\T-G.-\\2ErrE High school teaching can be a thankless job, but Sheffield Owings style of teaching won praise from her pupils, colleagues and lifelong friends. When I went off to college, I stayed in touch with her, said Shaily Shah, one of thousands of students Owings taught at Little Rocks Hall High School during her 24-year career. There arent many teachers I can saj were great people who cared about me and inspired me, but thats how Miss Owings was, Shah said. She really did care if you learned in her class. I was going to go to law school, but she made me want to become a history teacher. Owings, 60, died Wednesday of ovarian cancer. She stopped working at Hall High in 1995 shortly after being diagnosed with the disease. One of her last duties at the school was organizing the 1995 senior prom. The prom was at the Excelsior Hotel, and she had a great time sponsoring it, said Maiy Runshang, a Hall High English teacher who also helped with the prom. She really enjoyed working with the students outside of the classroom, too. Many said that teaching came naturally to Owings, bom to Drew and Sheffield Lander of Little Rock. She attended Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Va., and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. In 1972 she graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, where she met her future husband, William Adolph Owings, They were married in 1980. Owings followed in her younger sisters footsteps after returning to college in the late 1960s to complete her education degree. I was already teaching when she went back to school, said Roslyn Knutson, Owings sister and an English professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She thought she would marrj and raise children and go into teaching to have summers and afternoons off to be with her children. :\nShe was a natural at it. Sheffield had the kind of nurturing. positive reinforcing attitude and high standards students, need. She began her career teaching- civics and history at Booker Junior High. Ten years later she transferred to Hall High School, where she taught world history and advanced European histoiy. . It was not uncommon for me to look out into my audience and see her there cheering me on. said Curtis Tate, a local actor who had Owings for history and civics classes at Booker Junior High. It was a great feeling of accomplishment when I got an A in her class, because I knew I earned it. Tate said Owings taught hirri shortly after Little Rock schools became integrated, and she e.Xr pected all of her students, regardless of race, to do well. She was genuinely interested in all of her students. he said. You couldnt tell a difference in. her class. She had high e.xpecta- tions for all of us. Nominated by a student, in 1991 Owings won one of the highest honors an Arkansas teacher can receive  the Stephens Award for Outstanding High- School Teachers, which includes $5,000. Shell be remembered in so many capacities, Knutson said. She was a mother, a sister, a^ daughter and a teacher with such a high energy for living. You. couldnt be in a room with her\nand not feel that energy coming\" out. She animated the environment she was in.Arkansas Democrat iSrdjazclte i  FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1996  i .I ii .V A V.

An educator for two decades, Roger Dale Brooks, 52, was arrested Wednesday at the school superintendents office and was charged with computer child pornography, a Class B felony punishable by five to 20 years in prison. The arrest capped a twomonth investigation by the North Little Rock Police Departments special crimes unit, whose investigators pose as children online to catch sexual predators. Brooks of Wilson was the 21st person snagged in the units online dragnet since it was established in November 2000. I know theyre out there, Sgt. Keith Jackson said. Im online as a kid, and theyre hitting on me. When they seek us out, we have the power to do something about it rather than being a true victim. Brooks, who began his second year as assistant principal this year, could not be reached Sex case  Continued from Page 1B Brooks was released Thursday on a $10,000 bond. He is under a court order to wear an electronic-monitoring device, said Sgt. Jim Scott, spokesman for North Little Rock police. Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley described online conversations between Brooks and the undercover officer as disturbing. He was... making these rather explicit and repulsive comments in conversations with people he thought [were underage children] in North Little Rock, Jegley said Thursday. The police moved in a really expeditious manner. They felt there could be some risk to other children. Jegley said his office will be filing additional charges against Brooks, but he would not elaborate. North Little Rock police posing as children online generally Thursday. Wilson Elementary Principal Cary R. Parnell declined to comment. The elementary school, where classes began Monday, is one of five in the South Mississippi County School District in northeast Arkansas. We knew nothing about this, school district Superintendent Rogers Ford said. I have no comments concerning [Brooks]. Mississippi County sheriffs deputies helped North Little Rock police arrest Brooks, Jack- son said. See SEX CASE, Page 5B physical education at Rivercrest High School, where he was the assistant coach in football, track and softball, school officials say. Brooks arrest comes about a week before Arkansas Attorney General Mike Beebe launches a campaign to warn parents of the dangers of the Internet. Beebe will fly across the state and stop in six cities, begiitning at 9 a.m. Wednesday. The cities are Texarkana, Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Jonesboro, Bentonville and Fort Smith. /iwareness of danger linked to the Internet intensified in Ar- kantas after the Dec. 4 death of 13-yiar-old Kacie Woody of Holland who was shot to death by a Calibmia man she met on the In- termt.

They did so last on July 8, when a 72-year-old married man drove more than 900 miles from Ohio to North Little Rock to have sex with someone he thought was an U-year-old girl. Charges against that man, Robert Soccorsi, include computer child pornography and criminal attempt to commit rape. He also is under a court order to wear an electronic monitor. Police modified their usual strategy after online chat sessions with Brooks, Jackson said. In this instance, [Brooks] said he was a principal at a school, Jackson said. That put up red flags. We thought we should remove a potential predator surrounded by children. Ford said no complaints had been filed against Brooks before his arrest. He said the assistant principal was placed on administrative leave with pay. Brooks has worked in the school district 20 years. He also taught American government andih SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 2004  LR clinic toffflhole in student dental aid BY NELL SMITH ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE In a classroom in Little Rocks Wilson Elementary School, three dental assistants stare into their patients mouth, oohing and ahhing over the young boys crowns. They were surprised to see that he already had dental work. Traveling to schools with portable equipment, these dental assistants see many students who have never seen a dentist  except the one providing inschool preventive treatment. For the past several years, dentists and dental hygienists have traveled to six southwest Little Rock schools, placing dental sealants to protect kids teeth from bacteria. But there has been little help for more complicated dental work, like fillings. In the fall, health officials plan to open what they believe will be the states first full-time school-based dental clinic in a southwest Little Rock elementary school. There is at least one other dental clinic in the state. A Fayetteville high school campus has one, but it only operates six to eight times a month. Most of these kids dont have private dental insurance, said Dr. Lynn Mouden, director of the Arkansas Department of Healths office of oral health, and few dentists accept the low-paying ARKids Medicaid insurance. Most simply go without dental care.

Sincerely, Debbie Milam VIPS Coordinator Becky Parent Recruiter Coordinator 810 West Narkham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501)374-3361 PARENTS A PUBL C SCHOOLS What exactly is Parents for Public Schools? Parents for Public Schools is a non-profit, grass-roots volunteer organization comprised primarily of parents v^ho lx?lieve tlieir children receixe the best available education in public schools, and who actively recruit other parents to enroll their children into public schools. Parents for Public Schools seeks through its media campaigns to inform prospective school parents about the benefits of the diverse, high quality education available in the public schools. Parents for Public Schools has no official connection with any public school system, Do you have to be a parent to be a member of Parents for Public Schools? Absolutely not. .Membership is open to any person who supports our goals. While it is our experience that contact and testimony from a public school parent is the most powerful lobbying tool in convincing other parents to place their children in the public schools, all of our members mission is to encourage broad-based enrollment and support. How is Parents for Public Schools different from the PTA or PTSA? Parents for Public Schools serves a very different purpose from the PTA. Ultimately, the two organizations complement each other in significant ways. The primary function of Parents for Public Schools Is to recruit public school .students. Once those parents and students are in the public schools. Parents for Public Schtxils encourages atiive panicipation in the IHA or ITsA. .\\ great number of Parents for Public Schools parents are leaders in their childrens .school's ITA chapters, PIA Is a child adx'ocacy association in the local school that Is also affiliated on the state and national level. PTA seeks to influence legislation, school policies and parental involvement. If your school does not have a PTA or PTSA, we want to encourage you to start one. Why form a chapter of Parents for Public Schools? Chapters have been founded in different communities for different reasons. In our founding city of Jackson, Mississippi, Parents for Public Schools was formed to help reverse 20 years of w'hite flight from the public schools and to demonstrate and publicize the economic, social and business development benefits that came to cities with strong public schools. In other cities, Parents for Public Schools was organized to counter social or economic stigmas placed upon families whose children attend public schools. While tliere are important advantages to public school education which are common to all public schools, every community has its own reasons to support its public school system. No matter what those reasons may be in your community, our .staff can help get your chapter started and organized to reach your specific goals.What are the benefits to my community of forming a Parents for Public Schools chapter? It is Itard indeed to .summarize ail the Ixmefils that flow from increa.sed community commitment to public education. Quality public schools ensure economic growth by attracting industry and businesses to our cities. Another benefe which results from broad-based enrollment is an ethnic, social and economic cohesiveness in our communities, and a better place for all of us to live and worii. Increased broad-based public school enrollment results in greater public involvement in school programs, increased corporate funding for schools, and increased voter support for school bond issues. What benefits does a Parents for Public Schools Chapter receive from the National office? First, affiliation with the national organization saves your chapter the considerable time, expense, and worry of applying for tax-exempt status. This makes raising money for your Parents for Public Schciols programs much easier. We will provide you with the Parents for Public Schools Chapter Manual which contains all the information and doaiments you will need to create and sustain \\ our own chapter. We will provide continuing support with ideas for fundraising, successful organizational events, advertising, and a worid of other ways to get your group going and growing. What does it take to organize a Parents for Public Schools chapter? It takes a group of people with a commitment and a desire to work toward a common goal. It lake.s a willingness to talk to your friends and neigl)lx)rs, and the ability to get them to talk to their friends and neighlx)rs, It takes a willingnes.s to go to busines.s and community leaders to get their support and funding for Parents for Public Schools public awareness and media programs. In 1989 in Jackson, Mississippi, Parents for Public Schools was started with 26 parents. Two years later, we passed 700. It takes personal time and patience to build your chapter in your community, but the return to public schools is an idea whose lime has come. How is a Parents for Public Schools chapter structured? A chapter is formed by the incorporation of a non-profit corporation, election of directors and officers, adoption of bylaws and affiliation with Parents for Public Schools National. The national office will provide you with the necessan* forms for your use, as well as bylaws for your adoption. Once a chapter is officially formed, there are plenty of tasks and committee assignments for e\\eryone who wants to lend a hand. Among these are:  School NehK'orks  Business Network  Meetings/Programs  Data Bank  Realtor Relations  Fundraising/Grants  Research  Special Ex ent.s  Media  Publicity  Newsletter  MemlK^iship Iltimately, a .successful Parents for Public Sch(X)l.s chapter is organized to maximize the talents of each of its volunteer memlK*r.s. Once you decide to organize a chapter, we'll provide all the information, documents, and technical advice you will need. Our chapters do everything they possibly can to spread the g(x\u0026gt;d word about the excellent educations their children are receiving in public schools. How do we get started? Simple. Talk to parents and other interested people in your contmunity who share your commitment to public education, and ask them to join you in forming a Parents for Public Schools chapter. Then just fill out the attached form and drop it in the mail. Well be back in touch with you soon with precise information on how to get your group organized into a Parents for Public Schools chapter.

He recommended that we include a review of the blue ribbon committee on safety and security report, the NASH Cuniculum Audit report performed in 1990, and the Coopers Lybrand report for Gray Book 2 as part of the needs assessment. These reports were subsequently identified in Gray Book 2 for data that would be reviewed as part of the districts needs assessment.ODM and Robert Clowers Meetings 2 7-20-94 Met with Bill Mooney to discuss in general the need to define Draft 1 (i.e., Proposed Budget), Draft 2 (i.e., Tentative Budget), and the Final budget.

Mr. Mooney suggested that summary level for school closings be subordinated and tasked out in greater detail, which is already done in the business case for school closings. 3-28-95 Met briefly with Bill Mooney to review/clarify questions concerning February 1995 Tool. Meeting held late in month because of surgery I had had earlier.

Questions about how the new strategic planning process would affect the cunent management tool process. Asked how many teachers were identified for RIF. Asked why court filings was not subordinated into other tasks on the management tool. Signature Date ODM_MTGS DOCB5070701 I *3 z / z^ -7'J0r Date: July 7,1995 To: Ann Brown From: Bill Mooney Subj: ODM and Robert Clowers Meetings Listing As you requested, I reviewed my notes covering the meetings listed in Russ Mayos exhibit, Meetings between ODM and Dr. Robert Clowers, Director of PRE. The LRSD list submitted by Russ Mayo was in rebuttal of comments I made on the stand citing the curtailment in communications from the LRSD in the last ten months. The purpose of the review was to determine who initiated these meetings in an attempt to show the actual direction of communication. The findings below tell the rest of the story, and show a definite trend of less communications being generated by the LRSD. In fact, most of the communication initiated by members of the LRSD was the Court-ordered cooperation on the workshops. If I waited for LRSD to initiate activity on the Program Planning and Budgeting Process (PPBP), I would be a very lonely planner. My testimony was that communications had dropped off\nlooking at this material provided by the LRSD you can see that they have not initiated a PPBP meeting since October 1994 and nothing in 1995. In my judgement, this history represents a curtailment in communications. I have tried to teach the LRSD to measure and evaluate not on effort but on effectiveness. It appears I have failed in this endeavor.

The board unanimously approved the calendar, but not before changing what the district staff had labeled winter vacation to Christmas vacation, Some board members said they  favored winter vacation be- : cause some patrons might ob-  ject to Christmas vacation on religious grounds.\nI think this is one of those small things that has put soci- 'ety and schools on the path were on, board President John I Moore said. I think it is going in the wrong direction and Im opposed to it. The board voted 3-2 for the change, prompting laughter when Moore called for a roll call to see who the Christians are. Board members Moore, Dorsey Jackson and John Riggs IV voted for the change. Pat Gee and W.D. Bill Hamilton voted against it. Gee and Hamilton noted, however, that they are Christians. Hamilton said he thought calling the break winter vacation might prevent lawsuits. Classes will start Aug. 23. The Christmas vacation will be Dec. 20 through Jan. 2. Spring break will be March 25 through April 1. The last day of classes will be June 3. Jackson objected to allowing high school seniors to get out of school 10 days earlier than the rest of the students, but ho changes were made. At the urging of John Walker, an attorney for black intervenors in the Pulaski County school desegregation lawsuit, the board tentatively set a meeting for Wednesday to review this years $10 million budget cuts and their impact on desegregation efforts. U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright has set a hearing on the budget for 9:30 a.m. March 19. : The board also approved a lease for the Parkin Building at Sixth and Ringo streets at $84,672 a year. It will house the district Instructional Resource Centers staff. 1 The board will meet again at 6 p.m. March 25 to select a site for a new Stephens Elementary School.Arkansas Demcxzrat (gazette WEDNESDAY.

The first of the sessions will be at 5 p.m. today. Proposed cuts in the 1993-94 budget will be discussed and voted on during the meeting, which will be held at the districts administration building, 810 W. Markham St. The board will meet with Central High students at 5 p.m. Monday in the Roosevelt Thompson Auditorium at Central, 14th and Park streets. The special meeting was requested in March by students who want to discuss conditions at the school. A group of Central students held a sit-in in the school cafeteria March 17, partly because the school board had failed to S respond to their request for a meeting. The sit-in ended when the district had the students and three adults arrested for trespassing. The ongoing board hearing on the suspension of Central Principal John L. Hickman Jr., is set to resume at 6 p.m. May 4 at the districts administration building. The session will be the fifth in a series of meetings on Hickmans employment. The first was March 4. At 6 p.m. May 12, the board will hold a joint meeting with the Little Rock Board of Directors at City Halt, Markham Street and Broadway.ArEnsa^emoc^^^^azct^ FRIDAY, AUGUSTS, 1993 Copyright 3 1993, Little Rock Newspapers, Inc.

Arkansas Democrat (gazette WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1993  LRSD chief reassures 70 on safety, PR, curriculum BY WAYNE JORDAN Democrat-Gazette Staff Writer Little Rock school Superintendent Dr. Henry P, Williams assured about 70 parents Tuesday that the school district was working to improve classroom safety, public relations and the curriculum. Williams was speaking at Rockefeller Incentive Elementary School, 700 E. 17th St., at the last of five community forums he has held at district schools since October. The forums were developed to allow school patrons and others to voice concerns about district operations and suggest how to improve the schools. They were also used to determine priorities for the 1994-95 budget year. Tuesday night, Williams said the district is developing programs in light of family failures to help potentially violent students solve problems non-vio- lently. There are other ways than using an Uzi, he said But he remindedparents that if a student persits in disruptive behavior or hreatens the safety of students aid teachers, he will be remced from school. One parent who livs on East 21st Street asked Wiliams why the schools dont domore to solve gang problems. She said the neighborhoods ais deteriorating and whites an leaving the inner city becaus of gang activity. Williams agreed hat more work needs to be done but said, Were educators, n4 policemen. Even so, the distrid was encouraged by the veryfew gang activities that have iccurred in the system this yeaj he said. Three parents exprssed disappointment at the mdias failure to report the gold things that are occurring in our schools. They urged Villiams to address that problei, and he said he would.\nt TUESDAY. DECEMBER 7,1993 No decision on closing Garland, LRSD chief says BY CYNTHIA HOWELL , Democrat-Qazetle Education Writer No decision has been made to close Garland Incentive Elementary School, Little Rock Superintendent Henry Williams told parents Monday night at a community forum at the school. But the school board and district administrators will be studying central Little Rock demographics and the projected number of children in the area, Williams said. Those statistics may determine the fate of both Garland and Stephens Incentive Elementary. Both schools are in central Little Rock and have enrollments of under 300. Stephens is at 3700 W. IHth St. Garland is at 3615 W. 25th St. No one is saying Garland is closing. The board hasnt said so. I havent said so, William.s said. But he also said the board must consider ways to operate more efficiently and whether there will be enough children in the area to support two schools or a new school building. District officials must make a decision fairly soon about the schools  particularly Stephens, as the district is obligated by its court-approved desegregation plan to rebuild Stephens as a considerably larger interdistrict school along the Interstate 630 corridor for the 1995 96 school year. School board members have discussed seeking permission in federal court to change the desegregation plan to retain Stephens as an incentive school. An incentive school gets extra money for special programs to improve the achievement level of black students and attract  whites to the hard-to-desegre- gate schools. On another issue, a parent. Pearlie Creal-Pope, asked Williams to consider altering a policy that results in suspension of both students in any fight. She said the policy practically forces junior high students to join gangs for protection from attackers.Arkansas Democrat Igr (gazette \u0026gt; TUESDAY, APRIL 19,1994 LRSD to hold public meetings on courses The Little Rock School District will hold the first of three public meetings tonight to describe course offerings and registration information to junior and senior high school students and their parents.

Group meets out of court on schools Issues hashed out at LR steakhouse BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Dernocrat-Gazetle Education Writer Representatives of parties responsible for implementing the Little Rock School District's desegregation plan met Monday in the first of a series of meetings to resolve some disagreements outside the courtroom. The meeting reflected promises the parties made two weeks ago to each other and to U.S. District JiKlge Susan Webber Wright. School district officials said then that they would work more cooperatively with the federal Office of Desegregation Monitoring and the Joshua intervenors, who represent l)lack children in the school district. In return, John Walker, an attorney for the black children, withdrew his motion to have the school district declared in contempt of court for violating its desegregation plan. The meeting was at the Steak and Ale Restaurant at 2917 Cantrell Road. Little Rock Superintendent Henry Williams, school board President Linda Pondexter and federal desegregation monitor Ann Brown attended the session Monday. Frank Martin and Betty Mitchell of the Classroom Teachers Association were also there. Walker also attended, along with Chris Heller, an attorney for the school district, and Travis Creed, who represents teachers. The group decided to write a memorandum of understanding that would include commitments to modifying unworkable parts of the desegregation plan and improving the district's budget so the district can win release from federal court supervision. Walker said that cooperation among the parties should not usurp the powers of the district superintendent. But he also said that Brown, as the desegregation monitor. mast play a greater role in implementing and overseeing the desegregation plan. Most of the session Monday was spent discussing concerns of the dilTcrcnt parties. These Included teacher frustration over student discipline and mixed messages teachers get from changing administrators about what is expected of them. Walker objected to the districts use of police resource officers in schools. He said the officers treat black students more harshly and are a threat to the students and their parents. Walker said students and parents shouldnt be questioned by officers at school about matters not pertaining to school. Walker said the district does not appear to have the authority to stop the resource officers from making arrests at school. Walker also objected to changes in the principals at schools, saying the frequent principal reassign- menLs lead to a community perception that certain schools should be avoided. The group will meet again at 12:15 p.m. Monday in the Arkansas Education Association building.Arkansas Democrat |- * THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23,19^31 500 LRSD patrons ! petition school board for special meeting | I BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette Education Writer More than 500 patrons of the Little Rock School District petitioned the school board Wednesday for a special board meeting to hear concerns about the district.

But Pittman and others in the petition drive have expressed disappointment with recent board decisions on the su- perintendents contract and on a contract with ServiceMaster Management Services Inc. On Oct. 31, the board voted 4-3 against extending Superintendent Henry Williams contract by a year to give him the security of a ' three-year contract. Two years remain on his contract.

Tucker is lining up speaking engagements at junior and senior high schools around Arkansas as part of his penance for his comdc-tion on felony pursued 1 two counts by White water prosecutors. But officials at two of the 12 schools chosen by a federal judge have rejected requests Jim Guy Tucker to have the former governor speak to students. j Officials at another district on j the judges list substituted their high school for the middle and junior high schools that Tucker was to address. Tucker also has accepted an invitation to speak Friday at a high school that isnt on the list.

BOX 687, NORTH ume ROCK. AR 72115/0687 5011758-1760 ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS RESPONSIBILITIES The undersigned superintendent for the North Little Rock School District in Pulaski County, assures the Director, General Division, Arkansas Department of Education, that all Schools within the District are in compliance with the following Civil Rights Regulations as stated: ******** Title VI, Section 601, of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded for participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Title IX, Section 901, of the Education Amendment of 1972 No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or 'be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States ... shall, solely by reason of handicap, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. This is to certify that the District's Civil Rights Coordinator is: Name: Mable Bynum Telephone:_7_7_1_-_B_0_0___0_ __ _ Address: 2700 Poplar Street (P.O. Box 687) North Little Rock, AR 72115 July, 1991 Date COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEM SOLVING A good communication link between the school and the home is necessary if students are to receive the maximum benefits from the educational opportunities available to them in the schools of North Little Rock. Good communication results from open, frequent and objective dialogue among students, teachers, parents and school administrators. Most school problems are the result of poor communication among the parties involved. Proper communication, therefore, usually solves most, if not all, problems that are related to the school. In order to ensure that problems are discussed and solved as quickly and fairly as possible, the following procedure is to be employed in the North Little Rock School District. If a parent becomes concerned about a problem at the classroom level, the parent should make an appointment with the teacher and thoroughly discuss the matter. Most problems are solved at this level. Should the problem not be solved through discussions with the teacher, or if the problem is not related to classroom activities, the parent should contact the principal for further attempts to find a workable solution. If the parent is not satisfied with solutions offered at the building level, the matter may be appealed to the appropriate educational director or assistant superintendent at the District Administrative Office. The phone number is 771-8000. After other appeals have been exhausted, the parent may appeal to the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent may uphold, overturn or modify decisions made by other District administrators. An appeal of a decision by the Superintendent may be heard only by the School Board while an official meeting of the Board is being held.

places upon students the accompanying responsibility to be regular in attendance. Regular attendance can be assumed to be essential for a student's successful progress in the instructional program. In accordance with Board policy, only the following absences shall be considered excused absences, providea that in such instance parental confirmation has been received of the reason for the absence: 1. Illness 2. The existence of family emergency or other family situations which have received prior approval by the principal 3. When the student is on official school business. When a student returns to school after being absent, he/she shall bring a written statement from the parents with an explanation of the reason for the absence and the date of the absence. Students having unexcused tardies or absences shall be disciplined accordingly. No make-up work shall be allowed if the absence is unexcused. A student who accrues 12 excused and unexcused absences in a course during a semester shall not receive credit for that course. Exceptions may be granted by the principal after consultation with teachers, counselors and others who have knowledge of the circumstances. Except in the cases of illness or other excusable reason, students are expected to attend every day in which school is in session. The Board does not recognize \"skip days\" or other similar days when students willfully miss school. Such absences shall be unexcused, and no make-up work shall be allowed. Because a student is required to be m attendance, days of suspension to the Student Assignment Class are not counted as days of absence. A student who is exempted from compulsory school attendance will not be permitted to enroll after the 12tb day of the first semester or after the 12th day of the second semester unless the principal determines that extenuating circumstances exist. Students who are absent during all or part of a school day shall not participate in any school activity on that day or night unless permission is granted through the principal's office. ACADEMIC SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PLAN CONFERENCES Act 474 of the Arkansas General Assembly requires conferences to be organized and held by the public schools with the parents, guardians or persons in loco parentis of students in grades three, six and eight who failed to master the state's minimum performance test. The school district shall evaluate students and develop academic skills development plans to assist students in achieving mastery of the basic skills in subject areas where performance is below mastery. ACTIVITIES Eligibility to participate in athletic activities is governed by the Arkansas Activities Association (AAA), including the requirement that a student passes four academic subjects from the preceding semester. Three of the four subjects must be core courses (English, mathematics, science, and social studies). A 1.6 grade point average is required from the preceding semester. Any competitive interscholastic activity under the jurisdiction of AAA must meet these scholastic requirements. Additional information regarding activities may be obtained from the school office. Eligibility to be a cheerleader or a drill team member is determined by the same standards as athletic participation. Clubs and organizations related to special interests or subject areas do not have minimum grade requirements except tliose clubs and organizations that are governed by charters from parent organizations. 1 All clubs and student organizations shall operate under the direction of the principal and shall be under the supervision of a staff member appointed or approved by the principal. Membership to student organizations and clubs shall not be restricted on the basis of race, sex, national origin or other arbitrary criteria. Entry shall not be by decision of the current membership of the organization. ARRIVAL TIME AT SCHOOL Ideally, students should not arrive at school more than 10 minutes before school opens ( or before bus departure time) except to participate in scheduled activities. The District recognizes that this ideal cannot always be realized because of family schedules\nhowever, because children must have the security of supervision, absolute limits must exist as to when the school will assume responsibility. The North Little Rock School District assumes this responsibility up to 30 minutes before school hours for students who do not ride a bus to another scliool and up to 15 minutes for those who do. Parents must make other arrangements outside these limitations. ARKANSAS SCHOOL LAW GOVERNING SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Arkansas school law pertaining to school attendance is as follows: SECTION 1. Arkansas Code 6-18-222 is hereby amended to read as follows: (a)(l)(A) The board of directors of each school district in this state shall adopt a student attendance policy as provided for in 6-18-209 which shall include a certain number of excessive absences which may be used as a basis for denial of course credit, promotion, or graduation. However, excessive absences shall not be a basis for e~ulsion or dismissal of a student. (B) The legislative intent is that a student having excessive absences because of illness, accident, or other unavoidable reason should be given assistance in obtaining credit for the course. (2) A copy of the school district's student attendance policy shall be provided to the student's parents, guardians, or persons in loco parentis at the beginning of the school year or upon enrollment, whichever event first occurs. (3) The student's parents, guardians, or persons in loco parentis shall be notified when the student has accumulated excessive absences e9ual to one-half (1/2) the total number of absences permitted under the school districts student attendance policy per semester. Notice shall be by telephonic contact with the student's parents, guardians, or persons in loco parenhs by the end of the school day in which such absence occurred or by regular mail with a return address on the envelope sent no later than the following school day. (4) Whenever a student exceeds the number of excessive absences provided for in the district's student attendance policy, the school district shall notify the prosecuting authority, and the student's parents, guardians, or persons in loco parentis shall be subJect to a civil penalty in such an amount as a court of competent Jurisdiction presiding in the presence of a representative of the school district may prescribe, but not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) plus costs of court and any reasonable fees assessed by the court. The penalty shall be forwarded by the court to the school attended by the student. (5) Upon notification by the school district to the prosecuting authority, the prosecuting authority shall file an action in the appropriate court to impose the civil penalty set forth in subdivision (a)(4) of the section and shall take whatever action 1s necessary to collect the penalty provided for therein. The failure of the prosecuting authority to timely file an action or pursue collection on a case once notified shall be considered neglect of duty, subjecting the prosecuting attorney to the provisions of 16-21-116. (6) The penalty set forth in this section is to impress upon the parents, guardians, or persons in loco parentis the importance of school attendance and is not 2 to be used as a primary source of revenue. When assessing penalties, the court shall be aware of any available programs designed to improve the parent-child relationship or parenting skills. When practicable and appropriate, the court may utilize mandatory attendance to sucli programs as well as community service requirements in lieu of monetary penalties. (7) In cases where the court determines the student's unexcused absences cannot be attributed to the parents, guardians, or persons in loco parentis, the action may be suspended or dismissed conditioned on a petition being filed in juvenile court to seek services on behalf of the student. (8) As used in this section, 'prosecuting authority' means the elected district prosecuting attorney or his apJ)?inted deputy for schools located in unincorporated areas of the county or within cities not having a police or municipal court and means the prosecuting attorney of the city for schools located within the city limits of cities having either a police court or a municipal court in which a city prosecutor represents the city for violations of city ordinances or traffic violations. (9) In any instance where it IS found that the school district or prosecuting authority is not complying with the provisions of this section, the State Board of Education may petition the circuit court to issue a writ of mandamus. (b )(1) Each public, private, or parochial school shall notify the Department of Finance and Admmistrahon whenever a student fourteen (14) years of age or older is no longer in school. (2)(AJ Upon receipt of such notification, the Department of Finance and Administration shall notify the licensee by certified mail, return receipt requested, that his motor vehicle operator's license will be suspended unless a hearing is requested in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of notice. (B) The licensee shall be entitled to retain or regain his license by providing the Department of Finance and Administration with adeq_uate evidence that: (i) The licensee is eighteen (18) years of age\n(ii) The licensee IS attending school\nor (iii) The licensee has obtained a high school diploma or its equivalent. (C)(i) In cases where demonstrable financial hardship would result from the suspension of the learner's permit or driver's license, the Department of Finance and Administration may grant exceptions only to the extent necessary to ameliorate the hardship. (ii) If it can be demonstrated that the conditions for granting a hardship were fraudufent, the parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis shall 6e subject to all applicable perjury statutes. (D) The Department of Finance and Administration shall have the power to promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the intent of this section and shall distribute to each public, private, and parochial school a copy of all rules and regulations adopted under this section.\" Act 876 of 1989 authorizes school districts to enter into cooperative agreements with law enforcement agencies to detain suspected truants during school hours. The North Little Rock Police Department will detain and question school-age children who are not in school on those days and hours that the North Little Rock schools are in session. Students who are off school grounds without permission from the school will be transported to the Alternative School from where parents will be contacted for further action on the truancy. ARKANSAS SCHOOL LAW GOVERNING COMPULSORYA TTENDANCEA GE Arkansas school law pertaining to compulsory attendance/age is as follows: SECTION 1. Arkansas Code 6-18-20l(a) is hereby amended to read as follows: \"(a) Every parent, guardian, or other person residing within the State of Arkansas having custody or charge of any child or children age five (5) through seventeen (17) years on October 1 of that year, both inclusive, shall enroll and send the child or children to a public, private, or parochial school or provide a home school for the child or children as described in 6-15-601 et seq. under such penalty for noncompliance as shall be set by law with the following exceptions: 3 (1) Any child who has received a high school diploma, or its equivalent as determined by the State Board of Education, is not subject to attendance requirement. (2) Any parent, guardian, or other person residing within the state and having custody or charge of any child or children may elect for the child or children not to attend kindergarten if the child or children wiII not be age six (6) on October 1 of that particular school year. If such an election is made, the parent, guardian, or other ~rson having custody or charge of the child must file a signed kindergarten waiver form with the local district administrative office. Such form shall be prescribed by regulation of the State Department of Education. On filing the kindergarten waiver form, the child or children shall not be required to attend kmdergarten m that school year. (3) Any child enrolled in a postsecondary vocation/technical institution, a community college or a two-year or four-year institution of higher education, is not subject to this attendance requirement.

Failure to obey rules and regulations and/or failure to obey reasonable instructions of school personnel may result in loss of eligibility to attend school sponsored events. Failure to comply and District rules and regulations may also result m disciplinary action applicable under the regular school program. BUS CONDUCT Since the school bus is an extension of the classroom, students shall be required to conduct themselves on the bus in a manner consistent with established standards for classroom behavior. When a student does not conduct himself/herself properly on a bus, such instances shall be brought to the attention of the building principal by the bus driver. The building principal shall inform the parents immediately of the misconduct and seek their cooperation in controlling the student's behavior. The principal shall discipline guilty students as deemed appropriate. A student who becomes a serious disciplinary problem on the school bus may have transportation privileges suspended or terrmnated. In such cases, the parents of the students involved shall become responsible for seeing that their children get to and from school. CARE OF SCHOOL PROPER1Y Deliberate destruction or damage to school property will result in payment for loss, as well as other disciplinary action which may mclude police involvement. Careless destruction or damage may result in a requirement to pay damages. CHANGE OF ADDRESS office. It is the parent's responsibility to keep addresses current in the school COMMUNICABLE DISEASE The Board of Directors hereby authorizes the Superintendent to make determinations on the exclusion of a student/individual suffering from a reportable disease, as defined by the Arkansas Department of Health, on a temporary basis not 4 to exceed ten (10) school days.

CONTACT WITH STUDENTS WHILE AT SCHOOL In case of question about the legal custody of a student, the principal shall require the necessary documentation in order to make a valid determination of who has custody and what, if any, limitations are imposed. In cases of estrangement where legal custody has been afforded a parent, or where other legal restrictions have been decided, it shall be the responsibility of the custodial parent to make such information known to the principal. Estranged parents may visit with students during school hours with consent of the parent holding legal custody. Without such consent, visits shall be in the presence of the principal. If the police, SCAN, or family service agencies wish to contact students for the pl?J)Ose of obtaining information, the principal shall cooperate. If removal from school 1s requested, the principal shall inform the parent or legal guardian prior to any release of the student. If the principal is presented a subpoena by a police officer or if an agent of the social services presents a court order signed by a judge, he must release the student with or without communication with the parent or legal guardian. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT Corporal punishment in any form will not be used as a disciplinary measure in the North Little Rock Public Schools by any teacher, administrator, or other school personnel. DEMONSTRATIONS AND DISORDERLY ACTMTIES Demonstrations and disorderly activities on the part of any student or group of students at any time on school grounds shall not be tolerated. Participation in any such demonstration activities, no matter how well-intentioned, may bring about immediate suspension and possible expulsion from school. Demonstration and disorderly activities on school grounds during school hours shall, if circumstances justify, be promptly handled by civil authorities. DETENTION Elementary and secondary school principals may establish student detention (D Halls) as a means of discipline to preserve an effective learning environment. Detention may be used before and/or after regular school hours. Parents shall be 5 notified in advance and earlynate detention has been assigned and shall assume responsibility for student transportation. The North Little Rock School District will operate a Saturday Detention School between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Secondary students assigned Saturday detention will be expected to work on school assignments during the four hour program. Transportation to and from Saturday Detention School will be the responsibility of the student and his/her family. DISCIPLINE FOR HANDICAPPED STUDENTS Handicapped students who engage in misbehavior are subject to normal school disciplinary rules and procedures so long as treatment does not abridge the right to a free, appropriate public education. DISRUPTION OF SCHOOL No student shall by use of violence, force, noise, coercion, threat, intimidation, fear, passive resistance, or any other conduct intentionally cause the substantial and material disruption or obstruction of any lawful mission, process or function of the school. Neither shall a student engage in such conduct for the purpose of causing the substantial and material disruption or obstruction of any lawful mission, process, or function of the school if such a disruption or obstruction is reasonably certain to result. Neither shall a student urge other students to engage in such conduct for the purpose of causing the substantial and material disruption or obstruction of any lawful mission, process, or function of the school if the aisruption or obstruction 1s reasonably certain to result from his/her urging. Any student who threatens a teacber or a teacher's family shall be disciplined by the building administration. The student will not return to class until the building administration has taken appropriate action concerning the incident. A conference with the custodial parent or guardian, an administrator and the teacher, will be scheduled by a buildmg admimstrator as soon as possible following the incident. DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE All publications edited, printed or distributed in the name of, or within the schools of the North Little Rock School District, shall be under the direction and control of the school administration and Board. In allowing the distribution of student literature, the principal shall set firm and fair regulations for students to follow. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL The North Little Rock School District recognizes that student alcohol and other drug use is illegal and harmful and can seriously impair capacity to learn and to function effectively in our schools. Therefore, the North Little Rock School District prohibits the possession, use, distribution or sale of such substances as outlined in Student Policy FBO. Further, the North Little Rock School District supports a comprehensive program approach which includes prevention, early identification/ referral, intervention, and support/after-care to prevent or disrupt the use of alcohol and other drugs. Policy FBO applies to any student who is on school property, who is in attendance at school or at a school-sponsored activity (including any student who has left the campus for any reason and who returns to the campus), or whose conduct at any time or in any place interferes with or obstructs the mission or operation of the school district. It shall be a violation of policy for any student: 6 1. To sell, supply or give, or attempt to sell, supply, or give to any person any of the substances listed in this policy or what the student represents or believes to be any substance listed in this policy. 2.

(1) First violation: The student shall be suspended off-campus for a minimum of ten school days. The pohce may be called. Proof of professional help is required when the student returns to school, and a parental conference is required prior to readmission.

Selling any substance prohibited by this policy or what the student refresents or believes to be any substance prohibited by this policy. ( ) The police will be summoned. (2) The student will be expelled for the remainder of the school year. Any student suspended or expelled in accordance with this policy shaJl be required to seek professional counseling prior to readmission to school. The student will receive full counseling through District approved professional counseling services at his/her own expense. Upon readmission, continued enrollment shall be contingent upon completion of the alcohol/drug counseling program. Failure to complete the alcohol/drug counseling may be grounds for expulsion. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES The North Little Rock School District will enforce Act 146 of 1989, which prohibits elementary and secondary students from possessing paging devices or electronic communication devices on school campuses. EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS Emergency phone numbers where parents can be contacted are to be provided for each student enrolled in the school. It is the parent's responsibility to keep these numbers current and up-to-date. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS In order to enroll in a school in the District, a student must be a bona fide resident and must meet age requirements. The minimum age for enrollment in public school kindergarten shall be age five on or before October 1 of the year of imtial enrollment. Any student who has been enrolled in a state accredited or approved kindergarten program in another state for a period of not less than sixty days, who will become five auring the school 7 year in which he is enrolled in kindergarten and whose parents or guardians establish domicile in a public school district m the State of Arkansas may be enrolled in kindergarten upon written request of the student's parents or guardians. The minimum age for enrollment in the first grade of any public school in the state shall be age six on or before October 1 of the year of m1tial enrollment. Any student who has been enrolled in grade one of an accredited or state approved elementary school in another state for a period of not less than 60 days, who will become age six during the school year in which he is enrolled in grade one and whose parents or guardians are residents of Arkansas, may be enrolled in grade one upon request thereby in writing by a parent or guardian. Any six year old who has not completed an accredited kindergarten program prior to initial enrollment in a public school district shall be evaluatecf by the District and placed in the first grade if the evaluation results indicate that the child is ready for enrollment at the first grade level. If the evaluation results indicate that the child is not ready for enrollment at the first grade level, the child shall be enrolled in the District's kindergarten program. Each school must have a placement committee consisting of the principal, a kindergarten teacher, a first grade teacher, and the child's parents. The committee's primary task is to determine whether the student should be placed in a kindergarten or a first grade classroom. A student who has been enrolled in a first grade of an Arkansas School District or a private school but whose parents reside in the North Little Rock School District shall not be allowed to enroll in the first grade in the District if the child's sixth birthday falls after October 1 of that year. Act 838 of 1991 mandates that no child shall be admitted to any public school without an official copy of that child's birth certificate and that child's social security number. School authorities may temporarily admit a child who has not been provided an official birth certificate or social secunty number if: 1. other proof of the child's date of birth is submitted along with a comp1eted, postage paid application and money order so that an official birth certificate can be secured\nor 2. a completed and postage paid application for a social security number is provided so that a social security number can be obtained. Act 838 also states that if there is an objection to using the social security number on school records, parents can waive the requirement by signing a notarized statement regarding their objections. With that waiver, an individualized number similar to a social security number will be assigned to the student. When a student moves into the District from attendance in an accredited school, he/she shall be placed in the same grade that would have been assigned in the former school. Students who have attended .an unaccredited school shall be evaluated by the District and proper grade placement determined. Arkansas law reqwres that all students be immunized against poliomyelitis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whopping cough) and red (Rubeola) measles. Students who do not comply with this reqwrement shall be excluded from school enrollment. A student ente1ing a school in the District for the first time shall submit a copy of his/her immunization record. EXPULSION The Board of Education is authorized to expel a student for the remainder of the school term: 1) for conduct that is deemed to be of such gravity as to make a relatively short temporary suspension inappropriate, 2) when the Board finds that the student's continued attendance at school would be unacceptably disruptive to the educational program, or 3) when continued attendance would present unreasonable danger to other students and faculty members. Arkansas Statute 80-1516 provides that directors of a school district may exclude students for immorality, refracto1y conduct, insubordination, infectious disease, habitual uncleanliness or other conduct that would tend to impair the discipline of the school or harm the other students. 8 FIELD TRIPS A field trip is defined as any organized educational experience outside the classroom involving travel. Written parental consent must be obtained for each field trip. FOOD SERVICES Breakfast and hot lunches are provided in the school cafeteria. Students are encouraged to participate in these nutritionally balanced programs\nhowever, students may choose to bring a lunch from home. Breakfast will be served in all middle schools. In the case of late school openings because of inclement weather, breakfast will not be served. Each student who lives within five blocks of the school will be allowed to walk home during the lunch period provided that a note is brought from the parents stating a desire for a lunch permit to be granted. Students will not be excused to eat lunch anywhere else except at home, and only those students having a permit will be allowed to leave the campus during the lunch period. The North Little Rock School District operates a meal assistance program which complies with federal guidelines. Meal assistance in the form of free or reduced pnce meals is available with both the breakfast and lunch programs. Students must not sell, give away or exchange lunch tokens. Unused tokens must be returned to the school office. GIFTED/f ALENTED EDUCATION A program of gifted/talented education is provided for those students who require differentiated activities and services beyond those normally provided in the regular school program. Students who are above average in ability, task commitment and creativity may be considered for the program. Students must exemplify an interaction of these three traits. Referral for consideration to receive services through the gifted/talented program may be made to the principal by school personnel, parents, peers or the student. The decision for placement 1s made after all available data are reviewed by a referral/placement committee. English Mathematics Social Studies Practical Arts Physical Education Health Education Fine Arts Communications Electives TOTAL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 4 Units 5 Units 3 Units 1 Unit 1/2 Unit 1/2 Unit 1/2 Unit 1/2 Unit 8 Units 23 Units (No substitutions allowed) (2 units of mathematics and 3 units of science or 2 units of science and 3 units mathematics) (Must include 1 unit of life science and 1 unit of physical science) (1 unit must be American History and at least i/2 unit must be civics or American Government) (There shall be no activity or assignment substituted for this requirement) (Three non-academic units may be counted) In counting credits for graduation, courses taken in grades nine through twelve shall be considered. 9 No more than three units may be earned in any other way than through regular attendance in a recognized high school. This exception will be made only m cases of extreme emergency and with the principal's permission. A student must be enrolled in six subjects each year. A District progress form shall be a part of the student's record to ensure that the courses taken by the student meet State Standards and District requirements. Any student lacking no more than one credit to meet graduation requirements shall be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremonies, provided the student has paid summer school tuition. A student's diploma shall be retained by the principal's office until any deficiency has been removed. Any deviation from these requirements shall be at the discretion of the principal and his staff. GUIDANCE SERVICES The North Little Rock School District maintains a guidance program in its elementary and secondary schools consistent with state and North Central Association regulations.

Parents and students are encouraged to seek guidance services at any time. HANDGUNS The North Little Rock School Disttict will enforce Act 649 of 1989, which prohibits minors from possessing or carrying handguns. In Section I, a handgun is defined as, \"a firearm capable of firing rimfire ammunition or centerfire ammunition, which is designed or constructed to be fired with one hand.\" HEALTH SERVICES Health services by the school nurse are primarily inspectional rather than diagnostic in nature. Students are routinely screened for hypertension in the 10th grade. Screening for vision and hearing is conducted for new students and is available for others at teacher and/or parent request. Students receiving special education services may be screened more often depending upon the date of their last comprehensive evaluation. Secondary students participating in interschool competitive athletics, including Special Olympics, are requ1red to pass a physical exammation each year BEFORE being allowed to take part in such sports. Free physical examinations are provided at the beginning of the season for all students participating in such sports. Examinations conducted by family medical doctors at parents' expense will also be accepted. HOMEBOUND SERVICES Students with medical conditions certified by a medical doctor which will require them to be absent from school for four or more consecutive weeks are eligible for homebound services. Application forms need to be completed as far in advance as possible and are availabfe from Special Services (771-8033). HOMEWORK/INDEPENDENTS TUDY SKILLS Recognizing that homework is a .flexible and individual instructional responsibility, teachers in the North Little Rock Schools shall consider the following in making tnis type of assignment: That parent-student understanding of the necessity for homework is desirable. 10 That homework shall be within the limits of individual student ability. That, within the limits of good judgement, homework should vary gradually from fairly light (no more than 15-30 mmutes per day) in grades 1-3 to fairly heavy (no more than 60-120 minutes per day) in grades 10-12. That teachers, particularly at the secondary level, shall, at all times, be aware of the student's problem of multiple assignments. That homework, to be purposeful and worthwhile, should, in all probability, vary from day to day depending upon the needs of the students. That the availability of study materials such as reference books at home be considered in assigning homework. The following guidelines for homework and the development of students' independent study skills will be observed in making homework assignments: Assignments will be considered as an extension of the classroom instruction for the purpose of either independent skill practice for mastery or for review of previously mastered skills/concepts. Assignments will not involve skills/concepts which have not been previously taught. Assignments to achieve mastery of new skills/concepts will follow guided practice to ensw-e that the learner can successfully practice the skills/concepts accurately. Maximum use of classroom time for input and supervised study should be planned for each lesson. Some homework assignments can best be accomplished during supervised study conducted as part of the allotted instructional period. Assignments will be designed to provide short, frequent practice sessions focused on small segments of learning while maintaining maximum meaning for the learner. Assignments will be made which address common needs of groups of learners and specific needs of individuals rather than automatically assigning common homework to all learners without regard to the individual learner's need. Immediate feedback should be given to the learner whenever possible. HONORS CLASSES Placement in an honors class is based on a student's grades, teacher recommendation and standardized test scores. After all data are studied, the school may issue a written invitation to the student and parent. If this invitation is accepted, then the student is placed in the honors program. Student progress is monitored continuously to determine if the correct placement has been made. Generally, if a nine-week grade falls below a \"C\", then the student is reassigned to a more appropriate placement. Grades earned in honors courses will be weighted only in those courses designated as exit level Advanced Placement (AP) courses, e.g., AP Biology, AP Calculus, and AP English, and AP Physics. HONOR GRADUATES For students who will graduate in 1992 or 1993, the criterion for being named an honor graduate is a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 in grades ten, eleven, and twelve. Act 980 of 1991 establishes qualifications for valedictorians, honor graduates, and membership in the National Honor Society. Beginning with the 1993-94 school year, students who have successfully completed a minimum core of high school courses recommended for preparation for post secondary education or a more rigorous program of vocational study shall be eligible for the honor of serving as a valedictorian or honor graduate. Honor graduates must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 in grades nine through twelve in addition to completing the core curriculum. The core curriculum recommended by the State Board of Higher Education and the State Board of Education is an follows. English - 4 units (not to include oral communications courses) 11 Natural Science - 2 units, with laboratory components, chosen from two of the following: biology, chemistry, or physics Mathematics - 3 units, including algebra I \u0026amp; II and geometry Social Studies - 3 units, including one of American history, one of world history, and at least one-half unit of civics or American government Foreign Language - 2 units in one foreign language Candidates for valedictorians or honor graduates who are enrolled in technical preparation courses are required to complete the following coursework in addition to or in lieu of the minimum core outlined above. 1. Students will complete three credits each in mathematics and science with at least two credits in each area from courses with content comparable to that in the college preparatory curriculum. The two higher level math and science courses may be courses designed to teach essential content from the college preparatory curriculum through an applied instructional process. 2. Students will complete at least four credits in a vocational major and two related vocational credits. Beginning with the 1991-92 school year, only those students enrolled in a course of study containing the minimum core of high school courses recommended for preparation for post secondary education shall be eligible for membershif in the National Honor Society. Students who are current members of the Nationa Honor Society are exempt from the provisions for membership outlined in Act 980. HONOR ROLL Each nine weeks, all secondary schools will prepare honor rolls of students making 4.0 averages and 3.0 averages. To be eligible, a student must be a full-time student, have no failing grades, no incomplete grades and no unsatisfactory citizenship grades. Honor roll eligibility will be based on all subjects taken and on the grade pomt average (GPA) listed on the report card. INJURIES/ILLNESSES AT SCHOOL When a student is injured in the school building or on the school grounds, the parent will be called immediately. The student may be taken to the family doctor if parents have made emergency numbers and the name of the family doctor available. When a student becomes ill at school, the parent is called immediately. The student will remain in the health room until the parent can check the student out of school. If contact with the parent cannot be made, the principal and teacher will do what is expedient and safe for the injured and/or seriously ill student, which may include taking/sending the student to the emergency room of a hospital. The school assumes no responsibility for treatment. LEAVING SCHOOL DURING SCHOOL DAY All schools in North Little Rock operate as closed campuses. Students must stay on the school grounds from arrival time until the completion of the scheduled day. If at any time during the school day it becomes necessary for a student to leave school, the student must report to the office to obtain permission from both a parent or guardian and a school official and sign the check-out sheet. Any student arriving at school after the tardy bell or returning after an absence during a part of the school day must report to the office to get permission to return to class. Only those students who live within walking distance (five blocks) and have written consent may be granted permission to walk home for lunch. 12 LOCKERS Locker space is provided for the storage of a student's school supplies and personal items. In grades seven and eight, locks are provided. Students are responsible for the care of their lockers.

M-TO-M TRANSFERS The plan approved by the U.S. District Court allows for majority-to-minority (M-to-M) transfers among the three Pulaski County districts (North Little Rock, Little Rock and Pulaski County School Districts.) A student who is enrolled in a district in which his or her race is predominant may enroll in any district and school in the county in which his or her race is in the minority, provided that school offers appropriate programs for the student's needs at his or her grade level. Therefore, any white student in the North Little Rock School District (which is predominantly white) may elect to attend any school in the Little Rock School District (which 1s predominantly black.) Transportation will be provided for students involvecl in M-to-M transfers. HOW TO APPLY FOR M-TO-M TRANSFER Fill out one application for each child.

Notes wm be presented to the appropriate staff member. If a note is not received on the day of the return, the student will be readmitted to class with an unexcused absence. PARENT-TEACHERA SSOCIATION Parents are encouraged to join and participate in Parent-Teacher Association activities. Middle school Parent-Teacher Association meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Each seconda1y student shall be re~uired to take physical education unless a doctor's statement is on file in the principals office recommending that the student be excused from this activity. Any student who has religious objections to certain activities in the physical education program will be allowed to substitute other activities. Religious objections must have supportive documentation. Upon written request from the parents, a student may be excused from physical education activities on a temporary basis due to illness or injury. PROMOTIONS/RETENTION Students in grades from 9-12 are not classified by grade level except for homeroom and reportmg procedures. For such purposes, five units are required for sophomore standing, nine units for junior standmg and 15 units for senior standing. It is recommended that individually failed subjects be made up in summer school. 14 Required subjects failed, which are not made up in summer school, must be successfuIIy completed before the student can advance to the next course offering in that sequence. Students in grades 7-8 are on a pass or fail policy. All students in the eighth grade shall be tested in reading, mathematics, language arts, social studies and science on a competency test developed by the State Department of Education. Any student who does not achieve a passing score, as determined by the State Department of Education, shall not be promoted to the ninth grade. The level of competence required will be derived by the State Department of Education from an analysis of tfie Minimum Performance Test, standardized examinations and any other examination that may assist in determining the level of achievement that is expected in the United States at large. In any examination area where Arkansas students are significantly below the national average, the State Department of Education will devise a plan to move student achievement toward the national average. Retesting shall be permitted for students who score below the level required to progress to the ninth grade. The test shall be administered two (2) additional times 6efore the beginning of the next school year on dates selected by the State Department of Education. Each local school district shall provide opportunities for additional study for all students who request it in order to prepare those students to retake the test. Any student who is retained at the eighth grade shall be evaluated by the student's school principal, teachers and counselors who shall jointly prepare an academic skills development plan to assist the student to attain mastery of the area(s) in which the student 1s deficient. Any student failing to achieve mastery at the end of the second year shall be evaluated to determine the education programming that offers additional education opportunities. A conference shall be held with each student's parent(s) or guardian(s) to review and discuss the student's retention and plan. Special Education students shall be required to accomplish the goals and objectives stated in their individual education plans for the current year before progressing to ninth grade.

RELIGION IN SCHOOLS The Board respects the sincere religious beliefs of all students and staff members. The Board befieves that teaching about religion, as it relates to a study of the historical development of civilization 1s appropriate. Moreover, it is proper for teachers to enumerate and emphasize the generally accepted moral and ethical principles of the different religions. Teachers shall not, however, evaluate, advocate or place values upon any particular religion or religious belief. No student shall be required to participate in programs or activities which are contrary to the tenets of his/her religion. Speakers who are affiliated with religious organizations shall be allowed to speak in schools only upon the approval of the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent's decision should be guided by the following considerations:  The presentation is designed for all students who might attend the assembly or meeting.  The presentation does not advocate the beliefs of any denomination, religious grout' or faith.  The presentation does not encourage students to attend worship services or activities associated with specific denominations or beliefs. 15 REPORTING STUDENT PROGRESS Report cards are issued to students after each of the first three nine week grading periods. The final report card may be mailed at the parent's expense or picked up in the school office. Written interim reports will be mailed home to parents if a student's performance is unsatisfactory. Grades shalf be determined and reported in accordance with procedures established by the Superintendent and Board of Education and will be in compliance with state laws and regulations approved by State Board of Education. Letter grades will be reported in grades one through twelve. Act 1070 of 1991 establishes a statewide uniform grading scale. 93 - 100 A 83 - 92 B 70 - 82 C 60 - 69 D Below 60 F Students in grades K-12 will be graded each nine-weeks. Students in grades 7-8 will receive four nme-week grades and two semester averages. Students in grades 9-12 will receive four nine-week grades, semester exam grades, and semester averages in each course taken. In grades 9-12, the two nine-week grades shall equal 80% of the semester average, and the semester test shall equal 20% of the semester average. Semester tests must be taken before credit in a course is awarded. Group exceptions to the semester test requirement must be approved by the Director of Secondary Education and the Assistant Superintendent-Instruction. Grade point average is computed for each student at the secondary level based on all letter grades the student has received in academic subjects. Grade point averages will be calculated using the following four point gradmg scale: A=4.0\nB=3.0\nC=2.0\nD=l.0\nand F=O. Letter grades earned in Advanced Placement courses at the exit level will receive one additional point\ne.g., A=5.00\nB=4.0\netc. Cumulative grade point averages will begin with grades earned in the ninth grade commencing with tbe 1990-91 school year. Cumulative grade point averages will be updated at the end of each semester when credit is earned.

Observe the same traffic regulations required of automobile drivers. 2. Ride single on the bicycle. 3. Park in designated places and leave the area immediately. Bicycles and motor vehicles may not be ridden during the day. The school cannot be responsible for stolen or damaged bicycles or motorcycles\ntherefore, students are encouraged to use locks. SCHEDULES Assignments to classes are based on available data and are generally expected to be permanent. If errors or changes in student enrollment should occur, the school staff will approve appropriate changes. 16 SCHOOL CLOSING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER Weather conditions sometimes force the cancellation or alternate scheduling of school. It is not always possible to provide in advance alternative plans and procedures for students to follow because of the varied circumstances of times and conditions that might arise. Therefore, the District administration is charged with the responsibility of making alternate plans, procedures and schedules as the weather conditions warrant and notifying students and parents through the means of broadcast and print media. The guiding p1inc1ple will be the safety and welfare of the students. SEARCH, SEIZURE AND INTERROGATION The District respects the rights of students' privacy and security against arbitrary invasion of their person or property. School officials do have the right, however, to search students and their property in the interest of the overall welfare of other students or when necessary to preserve order and discipline in the school. School authorities may conduct searches of student lockers, desks and automobiles when a reasonable cause exists to believe that stolen items or items prohibited by law or policy are contained in the area to be searched. School officials may seize illegal contraband, weapons or stolen property found in a search. The search of a student's person shall be conducted by school official of the same sex and with an adult witness of the same sex present.

The decision for appropriate placement is made after all available data are reviewed by an evaluation/programming committee and appropriate school personnel. 17 STUDENT ASSIGNMENTS School attendance zones for elementary, middle school and high school students shall be established in accordance with the Federal Court ordered desegregation plan. Students shall attend the schools as assigned by the District. If a family moves from one attendance zone to anotfier during the final nine weeks of school, the students may, at the option of the parent or guardian, elect to complete the school year in either of the two zones. Students who establish residence in another school district may, at the option of the parents, continue enrollment in a North Little Rock school if the change in residence occurs within the final nine weeks of school. STUDENT BEHAVIOR - PROHIBITED CONDUCT Appropriate learning opportunities can be afforded students only in an environment that is free from conflict, distraction, intimidation and various other influences that result from student misbehavior. Certain students' actions are beyond the definition of acceptable student behavior and are, therefore, prohibited in school and while traveling to and from school. Prohibited conduct may include, but is not limited to the following: 1. Disregara of directions or commands of teachers, administrators, bus drivers or other authorized school personnel. 2.

The School District reserves the right to establish rules in addition to those appearing in this policy and to punish those who are guilty of their violation. 18 Punishment may include detention study hall, suspension and expulsion. Any of these disciplinary actions may occur on the first offense or any subsequent offense depending upon the nature of the situation and the age of the student involved in the situation. The student shall be informed of the offense and shall be afforded an opportunity to explain the actions before disciplinary action is taken. STUDENT DRESS AND GROOMING The general climate of any school is reflected by the dress, grooming and manners of tJie students\ntherefore, students are expected to wear appropriate clothing and to present a neat appearance at all time. Students, with the help and approval of parents, know what is acceptable attire for school activities\nmoderation in type and style should be the basic standard. The following guidelines should be followed. 1. Grooming or dress which could cause blocked vision or restricted movement is discouraged, as well as dress styles that create or are likely to create a disruption of classroom order. No hats or sunglasses will be allowed to be worn in the building. 2. Clothing which displays profanity, nudity or suggestive comments or clothing that is supportive of illegal chemicals, tobacco products, alcohofic beverages, drug paraphernalia, etc. will not be tolerated. 3. Clothing or shoes made of materials or of such structure that cause damage to school facilities will not be permitted. 4.

Disciplinary action may occur if grooming or dress violations continue. STUDENT INSURANCE An accident insurance policy is offered to all students at the beginning of the school year on a voluntary basis. Parents may choose school day coverage or 24 hour coverage. Expenses above and beyond either policy covered by the student accident insurance will be assumed by the parents. STUDENT RECORDS Authorized school personnel shall have access to students' records. The parent or legal guardian shalf have access to his child's records upon written request to the principal. If a student is 18 years old or older, he/she has the right to determine who, outside of the school system, may have access to his/her records. A student's records may be released to other school systems upon the written request of the parent or guardian, or student if he/she is 18 years old or older. A student's records may also be released to other school systems upon their request, provided that notification is given to the parent or legal guardian, or student if lie/she is 18 years old or older. Parents have the right to request that the school withdraw material from a student's record. Refusal by the school entitles the parent to a hearing to determine if material is accurate and appropriate. U at the hearing, material 1s ruled to be accurate, material remains in the file, but parents may prepare a statement to be 19 placed with the materials stating their objection. The statement is to be made available with objectional material whenever access is permitted. Directory information may be made available for noncommercial uses by the school principal without the prior consent of the parent. However, at the beginning of each school year, the parent may request that all or part of such information not be made available.

Students needing this service either for credit toward graduation or for enrichment may participate\nhowever, approval of the principal must be received before credit can be granted. SUPPLIES Parents are responsible for furnishing school supplies. Basic supplies are available for purchase at the school. SUSPENSION FROM SCHOOL The Board of Education recognizes that many alternatives are necessary to a workable system for maintaining good student conduct. Among those alternatives is student suspension. The Boarcf views student suspension as a serious matter and believes that all other less severe measures should be tried before students are excluded from the regular school experience. The school principal is authorized to suspend a student from class attendance for disciplina1y reasons for a period of time not to exceed ten school days, including the day upon which the suspension is imposed. The suspension may be off-campus or may be to the on-campus student assignment class. A student may be suspended if he/she: l. Violates school policies, rules, or regulations. 2. Is guilty of conduct which substantially interferes with the maintenance of essential school discipline. 3. Is guilty of conduct which, in the judgement of school administrators, warrants the reasonable belief that substantial disruption of school operations will likely result. 4. If guilty of incorrigible conduct, including insubordination, disorderliness, and defiant and hostile acts\ntruancy or cutting class\nfighting or other hostile behavior\ndestruction of school property\nact mvolving moral turpitude\nor violation of parking regulations. School officials shall determine whether the alleged misconduct, if proven, would warrant a suspension from classes, and then shall proceed as follows: l. The student shaJI be advised of the exact charges against him/her. 2. If the charges are denied, the evidence shall be explained and the student given the o1portunity to present his/her facts or opinions. 3. If the school officia finds the student guilty of the misconduct, a suspension may be imposed. 20 4. If possible, prior to the suspension, the custodial parent or guardian will be notified of the reason for the suspension, its duration, and the manner in which the student may be readmitted to class. If the suspension results from an incident with a teacher and if the teacher requests a conference, the student will not be readmitted to classes until a conference with the custodial parent or guardian has been scheduled by a building administrator. Every effort will be made to schedule the conference when the teacher is available. Availability would be defined as, \"before/after school and during the teacher's preparation period.\" 5. On the day the suspension is imposed, a written notice of suspension will be mailed to the parent or guardian at the address shown on the school records of the student. Student Assignment Classes (SAC) shall be established for on-campus suspension of secondary school students. If a student is assigned to SAC three times in a given school year, any subsequent serious misbehavior will result in that student's being suspended off-campus (Boys' Club, Alternative School or home) for a maximum of ten days. Chronic severe discipline problems may be grounds for recommending expulsion for the remainder of the school year. An alternative school for secondary students shall-be established for suspension of students who are identified as having severe discipline problems. While under suspension, students shall not be eligible to participate in, practice for, or attend any student activity whether during or after the school day. These activities include both Vespers and graduation. Absence from school due to home suspension shall be treated as an unexcused absence. TARDIES Promptness to class is necessaiy in order to maximize learning opportunities for all students. Students are, therefore, expected to be in class and ready for instruction at the appointed time. Principals shall implement suitable discipline procedures to encourage promptness in class attendance. TELEPHONES School telephones are for school business only. Students will be called to the phone only in case of emergencies. Important messages will be delivered by office personnel. Parents desiring to talk with teachers should call the office and leave a phone number. The calls will be returned at a convenient time. When pay phones are available, use will be regulated by building rules. TESTING PROGRAM Standardized tests are administered in grades seven and eight. In accordance with state regulations, minimum performance test are administered to students in grade eight.

The only exceptions are for medical or programming reasons. If a family moves from one attendance zone to another during the final nine weeks of school, the student may, at the option of the parent or guardian, elect to complete the school year in either of the two zones. VISITORS All visitors are required to register with office personnel. Classroom visitations should be arranged in advance through the principal's office.

He states that the Littie Rock School District (LRSD) has serious concerns and that in the next few days. After repeated telephone calls to LRSD attorneys and staff regarding those concerns, we have to date received no specifics from anyone on this issue. We believe the relationship between the school districts in Pulaski County is critical t.o the successful implementation of t-h e-- --d--e--s-e-ag r-eGg-a--t-io--n- plans. The Settlement Agreernent was entered in good faith by the parties, and I believe its provisions should e implemented.

Your request was based on the pooling provision in e Desegregation Settlement Agreement. ' Recently, I met with several members of our staff and two of our attorneys, Chris Heller and Jerry Malone, to review this matter. The Desegregation Settlement A^eement was negotiated in good faith, and we would like to continue along those lines. However, you must remember there are numerous components of this provision. For the parties to deal with a specific component in isolation appears to minimize the intent and spirit of the pooling provision. We have some serious concerns regarding the financial and educational impact of this request on our students. Therefore, I have directed our attorneys to consult with you and your attorneys regarding all of the components of the pooling provision in lieu of merely focusing on one area of the agreemenT, I agree with you that it is best when the parties can reach accord without outside mvolvement. Our attorneys will make contact within the next few days to discuss our concerns.

INTERVENORS RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF JOSHUA, LRSD AND PCSSD'S RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL AND CROSS-MOTION FOR COMPLIANCE Statement of Facts The responding parties do not dispute the statement of facts set forth by the State and ADE. Argument A casual reader of the State's motion for stay would likely form the impression that a stay is sought to suspend collection of a \"mere money judgment\" that has arisen in a routine contract dispute. However, the \"status quo II which the State seeks to FEB 2 4 iAC preserve is a far different thing than that which might be generated between a lender and a borrower who have a dispute concerning the repayment of a note. The unique context of the present dispute arises in the setting of the State, as an adjudicated violator of the Constitution, now having been found guilty of violating a settlement agreement which it promised to uphold as well as state law that it is charged with administering. Indeed, a core portion of the 11 status quo tl which the State seeks to preserve includes judicial findings that the State: \"...is deliberately discriminating against the Districts with respect to the provision of loss funding for a decline in enrollment related to the loss of M-to-M students, H and that the Arkansas Department of Education \"ha determined to discriminate against the three Pulaski County Districts with respect to M-to-M students. II Further, that the State, through the Arkansas Public School Computer Network (APSCN), in pursuing a state-wide computer network system, offered these three Districts implementation options that were \"meaningless, worthless choices. designed for rejection on the part of the three Districts, . tl and that this activity was in violation of the Settlement Agreement. Moreover, the order for which the state now seeks a stay is replete with mandates and injunctive admonitions to recalculate and restore funds due the three Districts dating back to the 1992-93 school year. The State knows as well as any other party to this case the precarious financial condition of these Districts and the recent history of all three in pursuing oftentimes radical and controversial budget cuts necessary for them to remain financially solvent. It thus becomes particularly pernicious for the State to seek a delay in compliance with the 2order of this Court, particularly when its conduct has been so egregious, Recouproent It is ludicrous for the State to compare its ability to recoup monies that should be paid to these three Districts to the situation of the government's inability to recoup payments made to welfare recipients. (See State's brief at page 5). First, in contrast to welfare recipients, the State absolutely controls the flow of millions of dollars a year to these three school Districts and will remain in that position long after the resolution of any appeal in this case. The State is absolutely protected in its ability to recoup any funds it is ordered to pay now. Second, there are only three school districts for which calculations must be paid and to which money must be paid. The burden of paying the Districts and, if necessary, recouping the payments is extremely small compared to the burden of paying hundreds or thousands of welfare recipients. Further, in the unique circumstances of this case. it is appropriate for the District Court to assess the prospects for the likelihood of success of the State's appeal and to take that into account in determining whether to order a stay or whether to order the State to make immediate payment to the Districts.' 'On appeal, the State has the burden of proving both that the District Court abused its discretion in its interpretation of the settlement agreement or was II clearly erroneous fl at its factual findings, including those of deliberate in arriving discrimination against the three districts. These parties submit 3These parties submit that not only should the Court deny the State's stay request out of hand, but that the Court should exercise its equitable and legal authority to order the State to make the calculations it was ordered to make in the Order of January 13, 1995 and to remit the appropriate sums to these three Districts by March 15, 1995. !

NO. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL. DEFENDANTS MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. INTERVENORS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. INTERVENORS PCSSD RESPONSE TO LRSD PRETRIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING POOLING OF M-TQ-M FUNDS The PCSSD Offers the following response to the pooling submission submitted by ths LRSD. As explained below, many of the contentions made by the LRSD are simply flat wrong. First, LRSD contends that the pooling provisions create a pool of money \"for the education of all interdistrict school students.\" This leaves the impression that the pooled money is sufficient, on a per student basis, to fund the education of aii the intardistrict school students. However, let us remember that at any particular intardistrict school, the M-to-M students cannot comprise more than 49.99% of the student body. To exceed that number would disqualify the school for M-to-M transfer. Accordingly, at most, the pooled money might provide something slightly more than one-half of the money necessary to educate all the interdistrict school students since the host district will have to fund the shortfall out of its own general revenues.09x07/95 12:53 WRIGHT, LINDSEY, \u0026amp; JENNINGS NO.232 P003/010 Second, the LRSD contends that these provisions \"were intended to require the same expenditure per student for each interdistrict school student. Expenditure per student does not equate to equalizing instructional budgets. Instructional budgets, whatever they may be determined to be by this Court, are necessarily something less than expenditures per student, the latter of which encompasses and allocates a broad array of non-instruotional coats including central administration, transportation, construction and maintenance and debt service. Indeed, after making this assertion, LRSD recognizes, in the next paragraph on page 2 of its submission, that expenditure per student is something different than instructional budgets. Third, the LRSD contends \"if not for the agreement to equalize budgets, the amount spent by PCSSD to educate LRSD M-to- M transfer students would be significantly lower than the amount spent by LRSD to educate PCSSD transfer students.\" Says who? This existential leap of reasoning cannot be supported by any facts. The only significance to the $3600 and $2900 is the fact that when the M-to-M agreement was drafted in 1986, these were the sums each District spent on average in its regular schools. I The Court will recall the charts (attached as Exhibits 10 and 11) prepared by the ODM several months ago which were prompted by an analysis of double funding at the incentive schools. The Court will recall that the highest funded incentive school spent almost $9,000 per student while the lowest funded area school spent just over $2,000 per student. Thus, since the advent of double funding for the incentive schools, LRSD*8 overall average expenditure per student has been consistently skewed and overstated because the incentive school expenditures 2 B09/07/95 12:53 WRIGHT, LINDSEY, 8. JENNINGS NO. 282 P004/010 There were no interdistrict schools then, there were no interdistrict school programs than, and there were no instructional budgets for interdistrict schools. Since the PCSSD has programs and themes at its interdistrict schools that it does not have in its regular schools, it follows that the instructional programs cost more at those schools than at its regular schools. In what may amount to simply transcription errors, the LRSD has suggested a formula at page 3 which is mathematically impossible to implement. In subparagraph (c), the LRSD first proposes that the pooled funds should be divided by the total number of M-to-M transfer students attending interdistrict schools to calculate an amount per student. However, they then suggest that the amount per student as determined be multiplied by the number of students attending the school. Because the number of students attending the interdistrict schools is massively in excess of the number of M-to-M students attending those schools, this formula would outstrip the pool by several multiples. At page 4 of its submission, the LRSD quotes from a Don Stewart to Bobby Lester memo that: It has been observed that equalizing the instructional budgets of all Interdistrict Schools, as called for in the agreement, would not be practical and in fact might cause both districts to make major changes in the instructional programs of these schools solely for the purposes of this agreement rather than for instructional or desegregation reasons. are included to calculate its district-wide average. 309/07/95 12:54 URISHT, LINDSEY. 8. JENNINGS NO. 282 8005/010 Perhaps unbeknownst to the present LRSD administration, the \"observer\" referred to in the Stewart memo is Chip Jonas, the former manager of support services for the Little Rock School District. It was he, not someone from the PCSSD, who \"observed\" that equalizing instructional budgets would not be practical and might cause major changes in the instructional programs solely to comply with the agreement rather than for instructional or desegregation reasons. As the PCSSD observed in its own submission, it agreed to this at the suggestion of the LRSD. Also at page 4, the LRSD sets forth its belief: \"[T]hat it has expended and continues to expand (sic) more money per student to educate PCSSD students in its interdistrict schools than PCSSD spends per student to educate LRSD students and (sic) PCSSD interdistrict schools.\" Nowhere in its submissions to date has the LRSD made any demonstration in support of its \"belief\". In fact, the PCSSD intends to offer proof at the hearing that it is the PCSSD which has the higher instructional budgets in its interdistrict schools. (See Exhibit 9 attached.) As to LRSD's belated counter-claim for $500,000, suffice it to say that LRSD articulates no cognizable legal reason why the PCSSD should ever have to pay the LRSD $.500,000 regardless of which settlement provisions have or may not have been met. ^Because Mr. Jones was, at the time, the Chief Financial Officer of the LRSD, his request, which was acceded to by the PCSSD, constitutes a novation or reformation of the original contract which is binding on the LRSD. 4I 09/07/95 12:55 WRIGHT, LINDSEY, a JENNINGS NO.282 P006/010 Indeed, on the page preceding the counterclaim, the LRSD graciously stated\nLRSD does not believe their (sic) should be any redistribution of the state funds paid to LRSD and PCSSD for M-to-M transfer students who attend the interdistrict schools. The process of desegregation and continued cooperation among the parties would not be advanced by an effort by LRSD to recover the amount of any under-funding of its M-to-M transfer students... Enforcement of the pooling provision as originally proposed by the PCSSD will enhance the desegregation process because it will continue the incentive for both parties to encourage County students to transfer to the LRSD interdistrict schools since that process will both increase the size of the pool and narrow or eliminate the distribution presently owed the PCSSD. To sustain the position of the LRSD would be to discourage further interdistrict movement to the detriment of the ultimate desegregation goals. The position urged by the PCSSD is in fact a reflection of the original incentives built into the M-to-M stipulation. The more students the PCSSD can recruit the greater will be its share of the redistributed pool. This will by itself advance the desegregation goals of all of the parties. 509/07/95 12:56 WRIGHT, LINDSEY, 8. JENNINGS NO. 282 P007/010 The PCSSD motion should be granted.

AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW REGARDING THE POOLING AGREEMENT INTRODUCTION This action concerns implementation of the September 1989 Settlement Agreement (\"Settlement Agreement\") in the above-styled case. The Pulaski County Special School District (\"PCSSD\") moved for an order requiring the Little Rock School District (\"LRSD\") to pay PCSSD $167,113.00 in majority-to-minority (\"M-to-M\") payments received by LRSD from the State of Arkansas based on Section II, Paragraph O of the Settlement Agreement (the \"Pooling Agreement\"). LRSD responded to PCSSD's motion alleging that LRSD was released from its pooling obligations by PCSSD's anticipatory breach. Based on the party's pleadings, this Court ruled that. even assuming PCSSD was in breach, the clauses of the Pooling Agreement at issue were unrelated and ordered LRSD to pay PCSSD $167,113.00. LRSD appealed. On appeal, the Eighth Circuit vacated this Court's order and directed it to \"take evidence regarding the purposes of the clausesat issue.\" See Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District, 60 F.3d 435, 436 (Sth Cir. 1995). The Eighth Circuit specifically identified the following issues to be addressed on remand: (1) Was equalization\nthe Pooling Agreement means to facilitate a (2) What was meant by the term \"equalize\"\n(3) Whether the schools are equalized\nand, \"instructional budgets\" of interdistrict (4) Why is there no central account into which pooled moneys are deposited? Id., at 436-37. Following hearings during which both parties presented evidence. this Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 52. Any other statement in this opinion which may be deemed a finding of fact is also adopted as such. FINDINGS OF FACT A. Background. 1. The Pooling Agreement resolved two disputes between LRSD and PCSSD. The first dispute concerned $2 million to be paid by the State of Arkansas as a part of the Settlement Agreement. The original version of the Settlement Agreement contained formulas by which the State would make payments to LRSD and PCSSD. The final version of the Settlement Agreement converted those formulas to a fixed stream of payments. This conversion resulted in $2 million in State settlement funds to which both LRSD and PCSSD claimed entitlement. 23 . The second dispute related to M-to-M payments from the State. The M-to-M Stipulation provides, \"The state shall pay the costs for full-time equivalent students who have been transferred to the host district. tl [Docket No. 706]. PCSSD argued that this provision required the State to pay the host district the home district's average per student cost. This would have increased the amount of M-to-M payments to PCSSD because LRSD's average per student cost was greater than PCSSD's. 4. PCSSD's argument was inconsistent with the State's interpretation of the M-to-M Stipulation and its practice of paying the host district its average per student cost. [Transcript, v. I*, p. 114-15\nTranscript, v. II, p. 125]. Dr. Donald Stewart, PCSSD's Chief Financial Officer, testified: I supported Mr. Sam Jones' . . argument that we really should be receiving [LRSD's] average cost for educating a student because  based on the theory  well, I'm not sure based on what. would have given us more money. It was a good argument because it [Transcript, v. I, p. 115].^ 5. The Pooling Agreement provides: 1) In any application for aid pursuant to Section 6 of *The transcript of the September 9, 1995, hearing is cited as volume I, and the transcript of the December 14, 1995, hearing is cited as volume II. ^Dr. Stewart later offered as a basis for PCSSD's argument that LRSD students are more expensive to educate. However, Dr. Stewart admitted that he was not aware of any evidence that LRSD M-to-M transfer students would be more expensive to educate than PCSSD students. [Transcript, v. II, p. 123]. Dr. Stewart further admitted that even assuming PCSSD was spending a little more on LRSD M-to-M transfer students, PCSSD was not spending as much per student as LRSD. [Transcript, v. II, p. 124]. 3Act 24 of the 1989 Regular Session of the Arkansas General Assembly, the receiving district for M to M students may include in such application any M to M students it hosts who are eligible for participation pursuant to section 6(A) of said Act. 2) The State shall continue to make payments under the August 26, 1986 M to M stipulation so that the host district receives its average cost of educating a student for each M to M transfer student enrolled in the host district. 3) When at least one Interdistrict School is operating in LRSD and PCSSD, all M to M payments generated by Interdistrict School students paid by the State to LRSD and PCSSD (including payment to each district as sending district and receiving district), except transportation payments, will be pooled for the education of all Interdistrict School students. The instructional budgets of the Interdistrict Schools will be equalized. This provision does not change each district's obligation to construct and maintain the Interdistrict Schools within its boundaries. The State payments for M to M students not enrolled in Interdistrict Schools will continue in accordance with paragraph (2) above. 4) Beginning the first year an Interdistrict School is operating in LRSD and PCSSD, PCSSD will contribute $200,000 per year for five years to the pool of funds to be used by both districts Schools. to operate Interdistrict [Settlement Agreement  2, 5 0]. 6. Both LRSD (Romine and Washington) and PCSSD (Baker) had interdistrict schools operating in the 1991-92 school year. [Transcript, v. I, p. 97]. B. Was the Pooling Agreement a means to facilitate equalization? 7. Although PCSSD originally contended that the sentences in paragraph three of the Pooling Agreement concerning pooling and equalization were unrelated and \"simply happen to appear in the same section of the Settlement Agreement,\" [Docket No. 2101], PCSSD's own witnesses testified at trial that the provisions are 4related. Dr. Stewart testified: Q: resolve And section \"O\" is all part of one agreement made to settlement? those issues that arose after the March A. That is correct. Q. And the component related to each other? parts of section \"O\" are all A. Yes. [Transcript, v. II, p. 11]. PCSSD Superintendent Bobby Lester's testimony was identical to that of Dr. Stewart. [Lester Depo., p. The fact that pooling and equalization are described in consecutive sentences in the same paragraph of the Pooling 6] . 8. Agreement also indicates that the provisions are related. This conclusion is further supported by the fact that the final sentence in that paragraph begins, \"This provision . . II referring to the entire paragraph. [Settlement Agreement  II, 5 0(3)]. 9. How the provisions are related was explained by Dr. Ruth Steele who was LRSD Superintendent from July of 1989 through June 30, 1992, [Steele Depo., p. 4], and who was involved in negotiating the Pooling Agreement. [S^ Steele Depo., p. 6-7]. Dr. Steele testified that the funds in the pool were to II be used for the education of students attending the interdistrict schools\" and that \"the amount that would be spent would be equalized so that no students from either district would be penalized in terms of a per pupil expenditure . . II [Steele Depo., p. 7]. 10. PCSSD came forward with no evidence which contradicted the testimony of Dr. Steele. Even assuming such evidence exists. 5this Court finds Dr. Steele's testimony to be credible and gives it substantial weight. Accordingly, this Court finds that the Pooling Agreement was a means to facilitate equalization. B. What is meant by the term \"equalize\"? 11. Both LRSD and PCSSD agree (and this Court finds) that the term \"equalize\" means an equal per pupil expenditure. 12. The only contemporaneous explanation of the meaning of the Pooling Agreement was made by Chris Heller, Attorney for LRSD, during hearings before Special Master Aubrey McCutcheon on September 26 and 27, 1989. [Transcript, v. I, p. 124\nTranscript V. II, p. 14]. In explaining the Pooling Agreement to the Special Master, Heller stated: Another issue that has been resolved is that once interdistrict schools are operating in both Little Rock and Pulaski County, the state funding generated by those interdistrict[] students'* would be pooled and the operation budgets for those two schools or whatever number of schools would be interdistrict students, equalized so whether attending school that in Pulaski County or Little Rock, would have the same amount spent for their education. [Transcript, v. II, p. 13 (emphasis supplied)]. 13. Dr. Stewart agreed that the Pooling Agreement, as explained by Heller, required an equal per pupil expenditure: Q. Now, if we assume that equalizing instructional At these hearings, the parties were seeking approval of the Settlement Agreement, and the Special Master was attempting to determine whether there was, in fact, an agreement among the parties. [Transcript, v. II, p. 12]. lRSD and PCSSD agree that only M-to-M payments are to be pooled and not all state funding generated by interdistrict school students. [Transcript, v. II, p. 43-44]. 6budgets means that the same amount is going to be spent for the education of students, whether they go to school in the Pulaski County School District or the Little Rock School District, doesn't that mean you would have to build your budget based on an agreed upon equal per student expenditure? A. Under that assumption, yes. * * * Q. In order to have the same amount spent for their education, don't you have to develop a budget based on an equal per pupil expenditure? A. Technically, yes. [Transcript, V. II/ P- 43-44]. Dr. Stewart admitted that the \"assumption\" made in the above question was exactly what Heller reported to the Special Master was the intent of the Pooling Agreement. [Transcript, V. 11/ P- 43-44]. Dr. Stewart also admitted that a budget can be prepared based on a predetermined per pupil amount. [Transcript, V. II, P- 39] . An interdistrict school's budget could then be calculated by multiplying the number of students by the established per pupil budget. [Transcript, v. II, p. 44-45]. 14. The parties agree that the funds from the pool should be distributed on a per student basis but disagree as to which students should be counted for the purpose of distribution. r See Transcript, v. II, p. 41-42]. PCSSD contends that only M-to-M transfer students attending interdistrict schools should be considered. LRSD argues that all interdistrict school students should be considered. The Pooling Agreement is unambiguous in this regard. It provides. \"[A]11 M-to-M payments generated by Interdistrict School students . will be pooled for the 7education of all Interdistrict School students.\" [Settlement Agreement  II, 1 0(3) (emphasis supplied)]. Thus, the plain language of the Pooling Agreement states that the relevant student population for distribution of the pool is \"all Interdistrict School Students. 15. Even assuming the Pooling Agreement to be ambiguous in this regard, the evidence presented a trial further supports the conclusion that the parties intended the pool to be distributed based on the total number of interdistrict school students. 16. In addition to resolving the disputes noted above, the Pooling Agreement served two additional purposes. First, both districts were concerned that the M-to-M Stipulation would work to the advantage of the other and viewed pooling as a hedge against this possibility. [Transcript, v. I, p. 10, 11 and 2 0\nLester Depo., p. 7]. Second, LRSD was concerned that LRSD students n attending PCSSD interdistrict schools would not have resources spent for their education equivalent to what would be spent on the students if they remained in LRSD. At the time of the agreement. LRSD was spending on average $800.00 to $900.00 more per student than PCSSD. [Transcript, v. I, p. 10]. 17. Dr. Steele testified: [M]y concern was always that you make sure that the students who move from our district to Pulaski County are not shortchanged in terms of any per pupil expenditure that [would be] spent for them\nand that the pattern of ^John Walker, attorney for the Joshua Intervenors, shared LRSD'S concern because it would be his clients transferring from LRSD to PCSSD. [Transcript, v. I, p. 25-26]. 8funding for the interdistrict schools would be similar to that of the magnet schools, not necessarily in terms of the exact amount [spent per pupil], but that there would be an amount identified that would be spent for the students who attended those schools. [Steele Depo., p. 11]. Dr. Steele explained that the Pooling Agreement contemplated that II [tjhere would be a per pupil amount established\" to equalize funding for the education of \"the total student population in the interdistrict school.\" [Steele Depo., p. 9 (emphasis supplied)\nsee also Steele Depo, p. 15-16 and 23]. 18. Similarly, Earl Jones, who was LRSD Manager of Support Services from July of 1989 through June of 1991 and who was also present during the negotiation of the Pooling Agreement, [Transcript, v. II, p. 156 and 158], testified that the Pooling Agreement contemplated that LRSD and PCSSD would agree to a per pupil budget for all interdistrict school students. [Transcript, V. II, p. 159]. Jones explained that the requirement that the budgets of the interdistrict schools be equalized was important to LRSD because LRSD was concerned that students would not \"enjoy the same type education\" in PCSSD interdistrict schools and that equalization was a means \"to help guarantee that that [would] happen. II [Transcript, V. II/ P- 178] . Jones noted that the ^Similarly, Dr. Steele testified that the funds in the pool were to \"be used for the education of students attending the interdistrict schools\" and that \"the amount that would be spent would be equalized so that no students from either district would be penalized in terms of a per pupil expenditure . . II Depo., p. 7]. [Steele Dr. Steele stated that the Pooling Agreement was \"based on the magnet school model. II Steele Depo., p. 8-9]. [Steele Depo., p. 7\nsee also Finally, Dr. Steele testified that PCSSD's interpretation of the Pooling Agreement was inconsistent with the intent of the parties. [Steele Depo., p. 15 and 16.] 9process by which the per pupil budget for the original magnet schools was established \"could easily be used II to implement the Pooling Agreement. [Transcript, v. II, p. 159]. 19. PCSSD presented no evidence that the intent of the Pooling Agreement was to distribute the pool based on the number of M-to-M students in interdistrict schools. To the contrary, in a memo to Lester dated September 2, 1992, Dr. Stewart stated: I would suggest that the proper procedure [to implement the Pooling Agreement] would be to pool all funds. including PCSSD's $200,000.00 as called for in the agreement and then to divide these funds equally based on the number of students actually enrolled (three-quarter averaqe daily membership) in all Interdistrict Schools. [Exhibit 343 (emphasis supplied)\nTranscript, v. I, p. 29]. With regard to Dr. Stewart's memo, Lester testified: Q. So if you're going to implement what Dr. Stewart said in [his September 2, 1992] memo, then we would take the total pool of M to M funds. plus the county's $200,000 and divide by the total number of interdistrict school students, third quarter enrollment, right? A. Right. [Lester Depo., p. 24 (emphasis supplied)]. Dr. Stewart agreed that his methodology fails to take into account two requirements of the Pooling Agreement: (1) that instructional budgets be equalized. and (2) that the funds be pooled for the benefit of all interdistrict school students. [Transcript, v. II, p. 42-43]. On the contrary. Dr. Stewart acknowledged that the interpretation of the Pooling Agreement urged by LRSD is entirely consistent with the language of the agreement. [Transcript, v. II, p. 44-45]. 20. On the bottom half of Exhibit 382, Dr. Stewart demonstrated the results if the pool was divided based on the total 10number of interdistrict school students. Dr. Stewart conceded that the methodology applied on the bottom half of Exhibit 382 was the only methodology which complied with the Pooling Agreement: Q. The point is, Doctor Stewart, that the only way we have talked about in court today or last time to implement the language in Section \"O\" is the way that is set forth on the bottom half of Court's exhibit 382? A. I would agree with that. [Transcript, v. II, p. 140]. 21. PCSSD argues that dividing the pool based only on the number of M-to-M students would create an incentive for the districts to recruit M-to-M transfers from the other district so they could receive a greater proportion of the pool. There are two flaws in PCSSD's argument. First, it fails to take into account the concomitant obligation of the districts to recruit their own students to become M-to-M transfers. g-q-, LRSD r See. Desegregation Plan, p. 144 (\"The NLRSD and PCSSD will actively recruit students who are eligible for M-to-M transfers.\")\nsee also Transcript, v. II, p. 143]. 22. Although dividing the pool based on the number of M-to-M Jones agreed that the methodology employed on the bottom half of Exhibit 382 correctly distributes funds from the pool. [Transcript V. II, p. 141]. Although PCSSD has more M-to-M transfers in its interdistrict schools, PCSSD came forward with no evidence that LRSD has not aggressively recruited PCSSD students to attend LRSD interdistrict schools. [S^ Transcript, v. II, p. 145 and 149]. PCSSD had a greater incentive than LRSD to send M-to-M transfer students under the M-to-M stipulation before the Pooling Agreement because it had a higher table rate, p. 40]. [Transcript, v. II, 11students would create an financial incentive for the districts to recruit students from the other district, it would create a financial disincentive for the districts to recruit their own students. 10 [Transcript, v, II, p. 67]. Dr. Stewart testified: Q. Under your original proposal for distributing funds from the pool [based on the number of M-to-M students in interdistrict schools], isn't there financial disincentive for Pulaski County to send students to Little Rock interdistrict schools? A. Well, yeah, I think we testified to that. I think we submitted evidence at the earlier hearing to that effect. [Transcript, v. II, p. 67]. Therefore, there is no net benefit to recruitment by dividing the pool based on only M-to-M students. [See Transcript, v. II, p. 172]. 23. Second, PCSSD's argument fails to recognize that the districts have limited control over parents' decisions to send children to an interdistrict school as an M-to-M transfer. r See Transcript, v. II, p. 172]. The record in this case is replete a with evidence of \"white flight.\" As sad as it may be, there are still white parents who refuse to send their children to schools where white students are not a substantial majority. It would be unfair to interpret the Pooling Agreement in such a manner as to penalize LRSD because lingering racial prejudice makes it more difficult for it to recruit white PCSSD students than it is for 'Dr. Stewart testified that the M-to-M stipulation was designed to be an incentive to the sending district to recruit its own students to become M-to-M transfers. [Transcript, v. I, p. 116] . Thus, to the extent PCSSD's interpretation creates a disincentive, it is inconsistent with the intent of the M to M stipulation. 12PCSSD to recruit African-American LRSD students seeking an integrated education. 24. PCSSD also argues that LRSD agreed that funds in the pool should be divided based on M-to-M students rather than all interdistrict school students. Dr. Stewart testified that an LRSD employee told him that LRSD was going to send PCSSD a check based on calculations prepared by Stewart which divided the fund based on M-to-M students. [Transcript, V. I, p. 32]. However, subsequent correspondence between LRSD and PCSSD demonstrates that an agreement was never reached. Following the June, 1993 meeting during which Dr. Stewart claims he was told that LRSD would send PCSSD check. Dr. Stewart wrote LRSD and stated. \"[I]f an a acceptable solution is not reached soon, we will have no choice but to involve the Office of Desegregation Monitoring and the Court. [Exhibit 350] Thus, Stewart acknowledged that no agreement had been reached. LRSD's formal response'* to PCSSD's demand was contained in LRSD Superintendent Dr. Henry Williams' October 20, 1993, letter to PCSSD. [Exhibit 380]. In that letter. Dr. Williams refused to pay PCSSD because PCSSD had failed to take into account all of the provisions of the Pooling Agreement. [Exhibit 380] . Accordingly, this Court finds that LRSD never agreed that the pool should be divided based on the number of M-to-M students. 25. Therefore, this Court finds that the funds in the pool '*Dr. Stewart initially testified that PCSSD never received and response from LRSD. [Transcript, v. I, p. 87]. stipulated that Dr. Stewart's testimony was erroneous. [Transcript, v. II, p. 51]. PCSSD later 13should be divided based on the total number of students in interdistrict schools. To determine the total number of students in interdistrict schools, this Court must decide when LRSD's Washington Elementary became an interdistrict school. 26. Under the Tri-District Plan, Washington Elementary was an interdistrict magnet school. [Docket No. 1291]. By stipulation dated February 12, 1991, it was agreed that Washington would continue to operate in this capacity. [Docket No. 1434]. The LRSD Desegregation Plan adopted April 29, 1992, provided that Washington would continue to be operated consistent with the \"Interdistrict H Plan. [LRSD Desegregation Plan, p. 144]. Accordingly, this Court assigned Washington the racial balance requirements of an interdistrict school in its May 1, 1992 Order approving the LRSD Desegregation Plan. [Docket No. 1587]. In recognition of the fact that Washington was operating as an interdistrict school. this Court released LRSD from it obligation to build Stephens Interdistrict School. [Docket No. 2351]. Hence, Washington has been an interdistrict school since at least the 1991-92 school year. and Washington's students should be considered in distributing the pool. 27. Therefore, this Court finds the funds in the pool should be distributed based on the total number of interdistrict school students. In determining each district's distribution from the pool, the total pool should be divided by the total number of interdistrict school students to determine a per student amount. This per student amount should then be multiplied by each 14district's total number of interdistrict school students such that each district receives funds from the pool equivalent to its proportion of the total number of interdistrict school students. D. Whether the \"instructional budgets\" of interdistrict schools are equalized? 28, To determine whether the II instructional budgets\" of the interdistrict schools have been equalized, this Court must first decide what constitutes an \"instructional budget. II \"Instructional budget\" is not a term of art in school finance, and it is not expressly defined in the Settlement Agreement. 29. With regard to the meaning of the phrase II instructional budget. II Dr. Stewart testified. II I don't know where the language came from[\n] I don't know what it meant then, and I don't know what it means now. II [Transcript, v. II, p. 17\nsee also Transcript, v. P- 15-16] Dr. Stewart acknowledged that \"[r]easonable 11/ people should be able to reach a reasonable decision about what it means. II [Transcript, v.II, p. 46]. Dr. Stewart agreed that once It instructional budget\" is defined, there was no reason a per pupil amount could not be established for interdistrict school students: Q. Now, however[] we agreed to define \"instructional budget\", there is no reason we couldn't determine per student amount to agree and be spent for instructional budgets at each interdistrict school, is there? A. No. a [Transcript, v. II, p. 50-51]. '^Similarly, Lester testified he had no recollection of why the clause regarding equalizing instructional budgets was in the Pooling Agreement. [Lester Depo., p. 23]. 1530. There appears to be no dispute that the \"instructional budget\" does not include transportation costs and capital costs. [S^ Steele Depo., p. 12 and 13]. The language of the Pooling Agreement suggests that the phrase \"instructional budget\" was intended to exclude these costs. Transportation money received by the districts is specifically excluded from the pool. [Settlement Agreement,  II, 0(3)]. Because transportation funds are not part of the pool, it follows that transportation costs should not be included in the \"instructional budget.\" Similarly, the Pooling Agreement provides that it \"does not change each district's obligation to construct and maintain the Interdistrict Schools in its boundaries. [Settlement Agreement,  II, 5 O (3)]. Because H the Pooling Agreement has no impact on the districts' obligations to make capital expenditures, it follows that those costs should not be included in the II instructional budget.\" 31. PCSSD argues that personnel should not be included as part of the \"instructional budget\" because the per pupil cost of personnel varies from school to school.* [Transcript, v. I, p. 57- 58\nsee Lester Depo., P- 15]. In negotiating the Pooling Agreement, LRSD recognized that it would not guarantee that 'Dr. Stewart also identified as a problem any cost which will be incurred by a school regardless of the number of students in a building, [Transcript, v. I, p. 73]\nthe cost of ancillary programs such as music and physical education\nand the cost of specialty programs. [Transcript, v. I, p. 75-76]. As with personnel costs. there is no way to account for the variation in fixed cost among schools. With regard to ancillary and specialty programs. equalization was intended to insure (at least to some degree) that these type programs in PCSSD interdistrict school were equivalent to the programs available in LRSD interdistrict schools. 16exactly the same amount of money would be spent for the education of every interdistrict school student. Even so, LRSD viewed equalization as means \"to help guarantee that that [would] a happen. If [Transcript, v. II, p. 178]. The parties may disagree as to the extent that equalization will achieve LRSD's objective, but that is no basis for this Court to deny LRSD the benefit of its agreement. 32. Although PCSSD argues that personnel should not be included in the \"instructional budget,\" Lester testified that \"teachers II are an instructional cost. [Lester Depo, p. 12]. Lester further testified that PCSSD's largest instructional expense was personnel. [Lester Depo., p. 19]. Likewise, LRSD's largest instructional expense is personnel. If the parties had intended to exclude the largest instructional expense from the \"instructional budget,\" they would have said so. Therefore, this Court finds that \"instructional budget\" includes all costs incurred at interdistrict schools except transportation costs and capital costs. [S^ Steele Depo., p. 12]. 33. Having defined \"instructional budget\" to include all costs except transportation and capital costs, this Court must now determine whether the II instructional budgets II of the interdistrict schools have been equalized. The answer to this question is no. **PCSSD also argues that the amount of money spent has little relationship to the quality of education provided. [Transcript, v. II, p. 93]. Although to some extent this may be true, this Court and the Eighth Circuit have recognized in the context of the incentive schools that the amount of money spent has a direct relationship to the type of educational services being provided. 1734. LRSD contends that the Pooling Agreement contemplated that a per pupil amount would be established for the \"instructional budget\" at all interdistrict schools by a process analogous to the magnet school model. [Steele Depo., p. 7-8, 8-9 and 11\nTranscript V. II, p. 159]. PCSSD has not proposed a methodology to implement the requirement of the Pooling Agreement that instructional budgets be equalized. [Transcript, v. II, p. 42]. Lester testified that at the time the Pooling Agreement was reached the magnet school model was the only model for the districts to pool funds to operate the interdistrict schools. [Lester Depo., p. 26]. Therefore, this Court finds that the Pooling Agreement contemplated that a per pupil amount would be established for the \"instructional budget\" at all interdistrict schools by a process analogous to the magnet school model. This Court directs the parties to agree on a per pupil instructional budget for all interdistrict schools for the 1996-97 school year so that instructional budgets of the interdistrict schools will be equalized beginning that school year. 35. Although the instructional budgets of the interdistrict schools have not been \"equalized. II PCSSD remains obligated to LRSD for its proportion of the pool. LRSD's overall average per pupil expenditures now exceed and always have exceeded that of PCSSD, [S^ Exhibit 345\nTranscript, v. I, p. 43\nand, Lester Depo., p. 13], and LRSD on average spends more per pupil than PCSSD in its interdistrict schools. [Transcript, v. II, p. 119\nSee Exhibit 381] . Because LRSD has spent more than PCSSD in its interdistrict schools. this Court finds that LRSD should not be barred from 18recovering under the Pooling Agreement based on the failure to \"equalize. II E. Why is there no central account into which pooled moneys are deposited? 36. No central account was ever established, apparently, because no agreement was ever reached with regard to equalizing instructional budgets. Even so, this Court finds that a central pooling account is not essential to the functioning of the Pooling Agreement. The worksheets presented by Dr. Stewart at trial demonstrate that the Pooling Agreement can easily be administered by payments between the districts. This Court leaves it to the parties to determine the most efficient means of implementing this aspect of the agreement. 37. The overall cost of the Pooling Agreement is equally divided among LRSD and PCSSD. For example, although for the 1994- 95 school year PCSSD owes LRSD $520,512.00 [Exhibit 382], LRSD lost approximately $1.6 million in state aid it otherwise would have received. whereas PCSSD lost only approximately $600,000.00. 15 Thus, the payment of $520,512.00 to LRSD works to equalize to costs between the districts. [Transcript, v. II, p. 141-42]. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The present case concerns interpretation of a judicially approved settlement agreement which has been incorporated into a consent decree. For the purpose of interpretation. \"consent ^The exact amount may be calculated by multiplying the loss in ADM by the SBER. [Transcript, v. II, p. 141]. 19decrees are to be construed as contracts. 11 United States v. City of Fort Smith. 760 F.2d 231, 233-34 (Sth Cir. 1985). \"Therefore, fundamental principles of contract interpretation under relevant state law apply when a court is presented with the task of interpreting the provisions of a consent decree.\" United States v. City of Northlake. 942 F.2d 1164, 1167 (7th Cir. 1991). However, II [t]he interpretation of a consent decree should be a practical enterprise. influenced. perhaps, by technical rules of construction, but not controlled by them. II Little Rock School District V. Pulaski County Special School District, 60 F.3d 435, 436 (Sth Cir. 1995) . 2. Where a consent decree is free from ambiguity. its construction is a matter of law for the Court. See Floyd v. Otter Creek Homeowners's Ass'n. 742 S.W.2d 120, 123 (Ark. App. 1988)\nsee also San Francisco NAACP v. State Dept, of Educ.. 869 F.2d 412, 413 (9th Cir. 1990)(\"The scope of a consent decree must be discerned within its four corners, and not by reference to what might satisfy the purpose of one of the parties . . .\") quoting. United States v. Armour \u0026amp; Co.. 402 U.S. 673, 682 (1971). This Court finds the Pooling Agreement is unambiguous with regard to the relevant population for dividing the pooled funds. The Pooling Agreement clearly states that the funds are to be pooled \"for the education of all Interdistrict School students.\" [Settlement Agreement  2, 5 0(3)]. Therefore, the relevant population for dividing the pool is the total number of students attending interdistrict schools. PCSSD argues that a LRSD employee agreed that the pool 20 3.should be divided based on the number of M-to-M students. Even assuming this to be true, this argument fails for two reasons. First, it is well-settled under Arkansas law that only a school district's board of directors has authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the school district. See Responsive Environments Corp. V. Pulaski County Special School District. 366 F.Supp. 241, 245 (E.D.Ark. 1973)\nsee also Hart v. Bridges, 786 S.W.2d 589 (Ark. App. 1990). The LRSD Board of Directors never voted to modify the Pooling Agreement as suggested by PCSSD. Second, modification an agreement requires consideration other than the consideration involved in the existing agreement. Sorrells v. Bailey Cattle Co.. 595 S.W.2d 950, 956 (Ark. App. 1980). There is no consideration which would support modifying the Pooling Agreement to benefit only M-to-M students. Therefore, this Court rejects PCSSD's argument that LRSD agreed to any modification the Pooling Agreement. 4. Where the plain language of consent decree IS ambiguous. extrinsic or parol evidence must be considered to determine the intent of the parties at the time they entered into the agreement. Dodson V. Dodson, 825 S,W.2d 608, 610-11 (Ark. App. 1992)\nsee also Northlake. 942 F.2d at 1167\nSan Francisco NAACP. 869 F.2d at 413. This Court finds the Pooling Agreement to be ambiguous with regard to two issues. 5. First, was the Pooling Agreement a means to facilitate equalization? For the reasons set forth above, this Court finds that it was. 6. Second, what is an \"instructional budget\"? For the 21 areasons set forth above, this Court finds that \"instructional budget\" was intended to include all costs incurred at interdistrict schools except transportation costs and capital costs. 7. Because of the ambiguity related to the above issues, it has been suggested that there was never any \"meeting of the minds,\" and therefore, never a binding agreement. This is not so. A \"meeting of the minds\" requires merely \"objective indicators of agreement. II Crain Industries, Inc, V. Cass, 810 S.W.2d 910, 916 (Ark. 1991). The Arkansas Court of Appeals has explained: Although it is essential to the finality and completeness of assent that all terms should be definitely agreed upon. [citation omitted] , it does not follow that the parties must share identical subjective opinions as to the meaning of those terms before a valid contract can be formed. Dziqa v. Muradian Business Brokers. 773 S.W.2d 106, 107 (Ark. App. 1989) . Therefore, a II meeting of the minds II requires only that the parties assent to the terms of the agreement and evidence an intent to be bound by those terms. 8. Heller described the terms of the Pooling Agreement to the Special Master, and counsel for both parties indicated their intent to be bound by those terms. [Transcript, v. I, p. 122-125]. Accordingly, this Court finds that there was a \"meeting of the minds II sufficient to create a binding agreement. WHEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. That the pool be distributed consistent with this Order for the 1991-92 school year to the present\nand. 2. That the parties to agree on a per pupil instructional budget for the all interdistrict schools for the 1996-97 school 22year so that instructional budgets of the interdistrict schools will be equalized beginning that school year.

JONES: 7 Q Who are you? 8 A Ruth Steele. 9 Ruth, help me. Q Can you give me the dates in which you 10 became the Little Rock superintendent, and the date that you 11 left? 12 A In July of 1989 and to June 30, 1992. 13 Q And I trust Chris has told you why you're here? 14 A Yes . 15 Q Okay. Before I get into the obvious questions, have you 16 had occasion to review anything in writing to help you get 17 ready for the deposition today? 18 A A little bit of the settlement agreement, and some 19 factual information that showed some budget figures, and 20 things of that nature. 21 Q Can you be more specific on the latter? 22 A I think it was a work-up sheet that was produced by 23 someone at the Pulaski County School District, showing a 24 scenario of M to M payments, and that sort of thing. 25 Q Before you reviewed that recently, had you ever seen it GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r5011 22M91 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 5 or something like it?

No. Did Chris or anyone else summarize that for you? He talked a little bit about the not about anybody's testimony. Q A no, I don't think Or anybody's position, or anything like that? We just reviewed some general types of ideas, thoughts. comments from that Don had made, that Chip had made just to kind of help me to recollect some of the things that were occurring around the time frame that we're talking about. Q What I want to ask you to do -- understanding that we're going to get down to late September of 1989 -- can you capsule for me your recollection of what was still an issue regarding the financial settlement with the state as we entered those hearings before Mr. McCutcheon in late September of '89? A One of the issues had to do with the methods of funding for the interdistrict schools, and the problems about the actual payments, and how those would be handled. There had been a lot of prior issues over the release of GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE1 6 funds -- whether or not there was actually an agreement that 2 could be acted upon, based on the problems with the -- that 3 we had with the legislature first approving it, and then the 4 appropriations bill being struck, and then Nap Murphy losing 5 his key, and then the third and final decision from the 6 legislature about the capping the amount of money, and not 7 really agreeing in substance to anything other than a cap, in 8 terms of the money, except for those things which had already 9 been agreed to, like the M to M money, and transportation. 10 and that kind of thing. 11 And as the hearings began, do you have a recollection of 12 any issues that were still out there between the parties -- 13 particularly the county and Little Rock? 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 The discussions about the interdistrict schools. was one of the things discussed. with the That And then the discussion with McCutcheon over whether or not there was an executable agreement, it seems to me were those were primarily the things that I remember being an issue then. Do you remember anything occurring during the course of those hearings that prompted the parties to engage in further negotiations? I remember there was a there was a room that we several of us were coming in and out. There was an issue Q A Q A 24 over the funding of the interdistrict schools and the poolinc 25 of the how that would work. And there were some GIBSON-8RANTON REPORTING SERVICE7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 discussions between Chris and you, and others that you were engaged in some discussion around, around that. And the -- primarily that's what I recall was going on at that particular time. Q Do you recall any specifics at all about pooling -- where the term came from, what it meant -- anything like that? A be What I understood that it meant was that the money would that would be forthcoming from the state in terms of the sending and receiving districts, and the amount that would be contributed, that would be pooled\nand that that would be used -- that pooled money would be used for the education of students attending the interdistrict schools. And that's what and that the amount that would be spent would be equalized so that no students from either district would be penalized in terms of a per pupil expenditure that would be identified for them as they attended those schools, in the event that two were eventually established -- one in Little Rock and one in Pulaski County. Q Do you have any recollection of why pooling came into existence? A It's -- my recollection is that it came into existence because we were attempting to establish, based on the magnet school model, that there would be an equitable, same amount of money that would be spent in the interests of furthering GIBS0N-8RANT0N REPORTING SERVICE1 8 desegregation to those types of schools. 2 That's what I recall. 3 Q I take it, then, that you do not have any recollection 4 that would involve settling an issue, like who got what part 5 of the funds the state was willing to provide? 6 A Well, the sending district was to receive --or was to 7 contribute half its table rate. And the host district was to 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 receive the full cost of educating the child, is what I remember about the distribution of the money\nand that the $200,000 per year that Pulaski County was going to get for a five-year period would be contributed toward that pool. Do you have any recollection of why the county was going to contribute $200,000 a year? The only thing that I remember is that there were some difference in the amount of money per pupil that the county expended in educating its students, as compared with what Little Rock was spending to educate students\nand that that amount of money was perhaps going to be used for that purpose -- to equalize all of that, as a part of that. Let me just try kind of a general question. Is there anything else that you can recall being either debated or resolved in that room outside of the court room during the course of those hearings? There were, as I recall from the discussions, there were -- there was agreement as to the fact that the interdistrict GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERUICE 8 9 Q A Q A -501^'224^4099 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 schools would be funded along the same general types of procedures as the magnet schools. amount established.

Smith, Superintendent of Schools FROM: Mable W. Bynum, Assistant Superintendent for Desegregation SUBJECT: Progress Report of Deseqre~ation Plan Activities to the Federal Court EDUCATION AND EQUITY ISSUES Elimination of One-Race Classes. Teachers and guidance counselors make special efforts to recruit and register black students into college-prep and honors courses. All 1990-91 secondary classes were scheduled by the District's Computer Services Department using recently purchased software designed to racially balance classes, and Elementary Principals made special efforts to assign students to classes where interactions between races would occur. As a result, only a limited number of one-race classes exist. Principals have completed an assessment of classes to identify such sections and taken steps to eliminate them. District and school administrators, as well as guidance counselors have been advised of areas of concerns and strategies are being developed to increase the number of black students in upper-level courses to ensure fewer possibilities for one-race classes. Districtwide at the secondary school level there are seven regular education classes of one-race, out of 1,326 regular classes. Five of the classes are second year elective courses: Auto Mechanics II, Drafting, Painting, Sculpture and Creative Writing II, III and IV (all white). One class is a beginning level elective Journalism course (all white). Another class is an Honors Chemistry section (all white.) This section is offered opposite Athletics and all of the black students electing to participate in Honors Chemistry are athletes, therefore, are assigned to the P.O. BOX 687, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR 72115/0687 so1n71-8000 only other Honors Chemistry section. At the elementary level there is one Kindergarten class of one-race (all black), out of 48 classes. 'Kindergarten students are exempt from the court approved student assignment plan. Out of a total of 258 sections of special education classes there are 40 one race special education classes where students are assigned in accordance with individual educational plans. These classes vary in size from two to eight. Individualized speech therapy classes are not included. Assist school biracial and human relations teams to assess racial climate. All vacancies on school human relations teams have been filled. A committee is being established to develop an instrument for assessing the racial climate. The committee is composed of the Assistant Superintendent for Desegregation, Director of Computer Services, Coordinator of Informational Services, one building administrator, one elementary teacher, two parents and one secondary student. Four of these individuals will be black and four white. Conduct staff development activities consistent with desegregation plan to include prejudice reduction and discipline. Pre-school staff development programs included these activities consistent with the desegregation plan: 1. Cross-Cultural Interaction 2. Teaching \"At Risk Students\" 3. Monitoring The Desegregation Plan 4. Multicultural Information and Book Fair 5. Teaching in a Desegregated Setting. (See attachments I-A, I-B, and I-C.) All District personnel who interact with students and their parents were required to attend various sessions designed to improve cross-cultural interaction. Noncertified employees (clerical, cafeteria, custodial, lunchroom aides and substitute teachers) participated in one-half day sessions. Transportation Department employees (bus drivers and crossing guards) participated in safety training sessions in addition to those designed to address prejudice reduction. October 22 and November 5 were designated as days for desegregreation training for all instructional staff. Activities were specificaly planned to address the matter of teaching in the desegregated school sP~ting. Topics addr~ssed included: (See attach!rents 1-Dl \u0026amp; I-D2) 1.  4 Mat System (Learning Styles) ' 2. Working With Parents Effectively 3.

Activity Directors attended a workshop conducted by Mr. Horace Smith of the Arkansas Department of Education Equity Center on September 5. Activity Directors scheduled building staff meetings for Horace Smith to discuss teachers' roles in developing a quality activity program that includes all students. Monitor student participation in extracurricular activities. Secondary Activity Directors and Assistant Superintendents for Student Affairs and Desegregation have developed a reporting form for club sponsors to periodically report participation. (See attachment I-E.) Monitor the extra-curricular selection process. Regular Reports are required from sponsors. All clubs and activities must develop bylaws to be filed with school Activity Directors who must approve all regulations relating to membership. Ensure that all selection committees are biracial. All sponsors must secure Activity Directors' approval of selection committees prior to selection of membership. Publicize the extracurricular selection process. Activity Directors will prepare information to be included in building announcements, school newspapers and newsletters to parents regarding selection of students for extracurricular activities. Design activities to increase minority student participation in Extracurricular Activities. Activity Directors are working with administrators, sponsors and students to increase minority student participation. Activities already implemented include an activity period during the school day, an \"Activity Fair\" at the West Campus, an incentive card program designed to increase participation and reward those who are active, and an advisor/advisee program at the middle school level. Monitor activities to ensure that activities such as pageants and homecoming courts are not separated by race. A committee composed of District and building administrators, Activity Directors, parents, club sponsors and students planned homecoming activities. Activity Directors and Principals monitored homecoming court elections to avoid the separation of races. Election results were six Freshman Maids (4 white, 2 black), Six Sophomore Maids (3 white, 3 black), Six Junior Maids (4 white, 2 black), and eight Senior Maids (5 white, 3 black). One white Senior was crowned Queen, one black Senior was crowned Maid of Honor. Prepare school activity reports to be presented to the Superintendent, School Board and Biracial Committee.

There are two major reasons why the District is not endorsing summer camps for 7-8 and q-10 squads. First, the District intends to ensure equal access to a1 1 school programs and activities for every student. Second, the Tri-Di,,crict Desegregation Plan approved by the Federal Court specifically requires the District to eliminate factors that negatively impact student participation. In an effort to comply with court requirements, the District established a committee of parents, teachers, administrators and students to address all concerns and make recommendations for spirit groups. The committee's recommendations were accepted by the administration and approved for use by 1990-91 squads. Every student interested in trying out for spirit groups received a copy of those regulations and parents/guardians were required to grant permission to tryout\nas well as express intent to abide by the regulations. Page six of the information packet specifically addressed summer camps and this information is being forwarded to you for review. The District is making efforts to absorb some of the cost of spirit group participation by providing uniforms and some transportation. To eliminate even more of the cost, the District is providing in-district clinics planned and conducted by the high school varsity and junior varsity squads following completion of their out-of-district clinics. These clinics are scheduled for the week of August 6. Detailed clinic information will be forwarded later. AR 72115/0687 SV 1758-1760 ., .I.

Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting by stating that we would review the updated status reports from each department that were compiled for the Attorney to present to the Court. (See copies attached.) She stated that adjustments needed to be made in our Biracial Committee: (1) we need to appoint one white parent committee member to represent Zone 3, as replacement for Nina Dallas\nand (2) we need to appoint one black educator to replace Dorothy Williams, who has been appointed to an administrative position for next school year. Mrs. Bynum presented the report for the Desegregation Office. The Districtwide Biracial Committee has been formed and has met three times. Mr. Bradley Scott, Coordir.tor Region VI Desegregation Assistance Center, San Antonio, Texas, was a guest at the meeting on May 8. He spoke to ~he group explaining their role and function in the desegregation process and gave positive reinforcement of purpose. He has also presented two days of workshop activities to two-member teacher teams from each school and all administrators. These were in the form of \"trainer of trainers\" sessions that can be utilized in staff development in the schools. Further workshops will be scheduled for the 90-91 school year. Members have been named to serve on tri-district committees in multicultural programs, alternative education programs, downtown early childhood education centers, business/communication magnet programs and achievement disparity. Mrs. Bynum stated that the Desegregation Office continues to provide information and explanation to the Metropolitan Supervisor's staff as requested. We also continue to cooperate with Little Rock, Pulaski County and the State Department of Education in all efforts to implement the Tri-District Desegregation Plan. She next presented the Personnel Report. The Personnel Office continues its recruitment of minority educators. Since semester, we have appointed one black principal at the elementary level, thus increasing the number of black principals to nine. We have also added three administrative assistants at the elementary level, two of whom are black. Secondary staff members have been reassigned for 1990-91 school year to facilitate the court approved secondary reorganization and an equitable distribution of minority personnel has been completed. Bobby Acklin presented the Student Affairs Report. He stated that he was pleased with the discipline report for April. The statistics show a considerable drop from March. He also stated that he was pleased with the student assignment process. Student assignments look good for 1990-91, with only Park Hill Elementary being out of line at this time. He said that he would continue to work on this and felt sure he could bring all schools into compliance status by the beginning of the school year. Secondary schools' boundaries have been changed and all are in compliance at this time. Dr. John Moore presented the Instructional Reports. Expansion of existing eight-station computer laboratories to the proposed twenty-eight station laboratories will be delayed during the 1990-91 school year due to the lack of funds. Chapter I funds will continue to be used to establish eight station computer laboratories in elemtntary schools which have the greatest identified need. A Principle of Alphabet Literacy Systems (PALS) will be installed at the high school campus during the 1990-91 school year. Staff development efforts continue and plans are being developed for 1990-91. We continue to cooperate with ~ittle Rock and Pulaski County School Districts in establishing a tri-district program for staff development. Summer School Programs have been planned for elementary and secondary students. Summer school programs will be housed at Boone Park, Rose City Junior High and at Northeast High School campus. Dr. Moore reported a significant drop in special education enrollment as compared to 1988. Staff reduction in this area is inevitable because of substantial loss of funding~ He stated we continue efforts to recruit minority students for gifted/ talented enrollment. Dr. Moore stated that JTPA funding is being solicited for txpansion to full time of our HIPPY Program. He said that it does not look favorable at this time. We will continue the program and plan to add at least one school next year. He reported that the multicultural education curriculum should be ninety percent complete by this time next year. Scharmel Bolling reported that she had identified public relations functions that could be performed by trained volunteers. She also reported that she was developing a program for secretarial training in communications to be presented in August, and a communication training program for Communication Coordinators that will be appointed in each school. Greg Daniels reported that he has investigated software for staff development records to be kept by the District. We discussed department responsibility of this project and agreed it belongec to the Instruction Department. Mr. Daniels said he planned to get the program in place during June, before the Computer Services Department got involved in their heavy summer work load. Charl~s Brown requested that he be involved in any preliminary plans, in order to establish a budget for this project. We set our next meeting for June 11, at 1:30 p.m. We will review the school based desegregation reports at that time and talk about format for reporting. Meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m. NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Attachment I-N2 Minutes of District Desegregation Meeting on June 11, 1990 The North Little Rock District Desegregation team met on June 11, 1990, at 1:30 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administrative Building. The following team members attended the meeting: Mr. James Smith, Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Dr. John Moore and Mr. Greg Daniels. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting by furnishing copies of the minutes from the last Biracial Committee meeting of June 5, 1990. We discussed some of the issues that came up at that meeting. We agreed that we need to furnish this committee with the elementary staff racial composition at the August meeting. We also discussed what we could offer in the way of leadership training to our students. The next item considered was the quarterly reports from the School Based Desegregation Teams. Mrs. Bynum pointed out that several of these reports mentioned the need for motivational speakers and inservice. We discussed some of the things we could do during the staff development week of the 1990-91 school year. We also discussed discipline, another concern, identified in many of the reports. Mrs. Bynum brought up a discussion of one race classes. She reminded us that we must identify any one race classes at the beginning of the new school year and give a written explanation if any classes are identified. Mrs. Bynum asked for a review of extra-curricular activities. Dr. Moore stated that we have data on Chapter I students verifying that we have too many extra curricular activities in progress, and significant interruptions were occurring in the instructional program. He pointed out that of students qualifying for 175 days of instruction, they had actually received 143 days of instruction. We agreed we need to take a look at this and perhaps look at trade offs to deal with the situation. Mrs. Bynum questioned Mr. Daniels concerning progress in developing a program to track staff development. Mr. Daniels assured us this is an on-going program that will be implemented by the coming school year. He said that we would not only record attendance to the different staff development programs, but our instrument would serve as an evaluation document. Mrs. Bynum pointed out that some of the school based teams were also requesting more computer lab inservice. Dr. Moor~ stated that Letitia Martin was working on this, and we would continue to offer this inservice repeatedly. Mr. Acklin presented his discipline report for May. (See copy attached.) He pointed out that we had a big jump at Redwood Elementary due to difficulties we had to work through. We discussed what could be done in the way of on-campus suspensions at the elementary level. Dr. Moore discouraged use of this measure at the elementary level. Mr. Acklin stated that statistics were up again at Central over last month. Mr. Smith stated that this problem should improve after our restructure process. We agreed it would be interesting to make comparisons next year. Mr. Acklin stated that we had had no complaints from principals on the new discipline report forms. Mr. Daniels responded that he was having some problems with his copies not being clear. He stated that if Computer Services could receive the second copy instead of the third copy, it would be beneficial to his department. Mrs. Bynum questioned the implementation of a grant procurement office. Mr. Smith stated that a decision had not been made at this time. This could be a tri-district effort to enable the three districts to increase their grant monies. Mrs. Bynum announced that the Tri-District Achievement Disparity Committee meeting was being hosted by our District for tonight's meeting at 6:30 p.m. They have requested that we furnish data of results on MAT 6 and Arkansas Minimum Performance testing. (See copies attached.) Dr. Moore stated that our test data reflects good growth in math, science and language arts. He also stated that the issue of achievement disparity is constant and is a real problem. Principals use this data to write plans for achievement disparity. Dr. Moore stated that we have a 15% difference in scores of minority students, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve these differences. The next item discussed was drop-outs for 1989-90. (See copies attached.) We compared it with the report from 1988-89. We pursued a lengthy discussion concerning these statistics and possibilities of resolving some of our problems. Mrs. Bynum said she has been asked if we were pursuing the issue of pulling drivers' license when students drop out of school. Mr. Acklin responded that this would be addressed in the student handbook for next school year. (See copy of law attached.) Mrs. Bynum asked when she was questioned on staffing alternative school, to whom should she refer them? Mr. Smith responded they should be referred to the Metropolitan Cooperative Services. Mr. Smith stated that he would ask the Board's permission for the Pine Elementary School building to be used as an alternative school. Mr. Smith reminded members of the team that we would be in court on June 21 for a desegregation hearing, and encouraged members to try to attend this hearing. We discussed summer school enrollment, and agreed that the programs are off to a smooth start. Mrs. Bynum reported that she had met with the other districts' desegregation officers and the Metropolitan Supervisor's staff. She had requested a copy of their timelines that were posted in their office, but they have not sent us a copy at this time. We have furnished them with a copy of the timelines we have identified for our District, as per their request. We set our next meeting for July 9, 1990, at 1:30 p.m. Meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m. aw Attachment I-N3 NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Minutes of District Desegregation Meeting on July 2, 1990, at 1:30 p.m. The following individuals were present: James R. Smith, Mable W. Bynum, Charles Brown, Gene Jones, Esther Crawford, and Jim Dyer. The meeting was called by Mr. Smith in response to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Order of today (7-2-90) impacting the District's Desegregation Plan. Mr. Smith gave those in attendance a copy of the court order and asked that we discuss immediate implications for the District. The group agreed that the most pressing need for the 1990-91 school year was the follow through on addressing achievement disparity in the District. Charles Brown referred to information prepared by John Moore, former Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, relating to the purchase of equipment to establish 28 station basic skills computer laboratories in elementary schools identified in the negotiated settlement as well as in the Tri-District Plan prepared by the late Eugene Reville. It was agreed that the 1989-90 settlement funds would allow the District to begin immediate expansion for 28 station computer labs at the following schools: Amboy, Boone Park, Glenview, North Heights, Redwood and Rose City. Six other schools: Indian Hills, Lynch Drive, Meadow Park, Pike View, Seventh Street and Central (combined Argenta and Pine Schools) will have eight station Chapter I labs installed this year. It was Charles Brown's opinion that three or four of these could also be included in th~ 28 station expansion. This would ledve four elementary schools without computer labs and those will be added prior to the 1992-93 completion date outlined in the Tri-District Desegregation Plan. Mr. Dyer presented information related to the Chapter I program expansion. Mrs. Crawford addressed the concern of staffing of labs in view of Chapter I guidelines not allowing program aides to work during time wh~n non-Chapter I students are assigned to the lab. It was decided to leave all lab aides in current assignments until mure information is available. Mr. Dyer informed the group o: the addition of one staff position in the Chapter I program. Tht new employee will be a subject area specialist with major responsibility to assist computer lab aides and teachers. In the matter of early childhood education, Mrs. Crawford said that plans were being made to expand the HIPPY program to the Seventh Street Elementary School area for the 1990-91 school year. Plans are still incomplete as to the number of additional HIPPY aides to be added or the actual number of families to be served this year\nhowever, Mrs. Barbara Gilkey will be working on these plans. Plans are on-going for training all kindergarten teachers in the Early Prevention of School Failure Program. In the matter of secondary programming, it was noted that a computer assisted component in the remedial reading program would be in place at the 11-12th grade for the 1990-91 school year. All secondary students will be scheduled by computers to assist with the elimination of one-race classes, In addition secondary administrators will monitor the scheduling process very carefully. All basic level classes will be eliminated for 7-8th grades for the 1990-91 school year. Funds from the settlement agreement monies will be allocated for pre-college testing fees for economically disadvantaged youth. In the matter of extra-curricular activities, Mrs. Bynum informed the group of correspondence directed to members secondary spirit groups regarding out-of-district camps. attached letter).

The following individuals were in attendance: James Smith, Mable Byr.um, Gene Jones, Bobby Acklin, Scharmel Bolling and Greg Daniels. The meeting was called for reaction to the request from Arma Hart and Ann Brown, Associate Metropolitan Supervisors, regarding preparation for desegregation monitoring. (See copy of request attached, item 1.) Our lawyer has directed that we furnish a report of programs, facilities, operations, and activities which we have already implemented or will implement for the 1990-91 school year, as directed by the Tri-District Desegregation Plan. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting by stating the matters to be addressed and furnished copies of the District Desegregation Plan Timetable as identified by our District personnel (item 2 attached), and the timeline identified by Ann Brown, Associate Metropolitan Supervisor (item 3 attached). Scharmel Bolling brought up the recent papers' notification of Parent Committees scheduled for next week. We discussed these meetings and agreed that even though we had not been formally notified individually of these meetings, some of our administrators could represent the District at these meetings. Mrs. Bolling questioned Mr. Smith about the purchase of software or development of public relations curriculum. She said that the cost would be approximately $700. She stated that our software was at least four years older than that used by the other two districts. She felt it was necessary to carry out the plans directed by the desegregation plan. Mr. Smith agreed and instructed her to make the necessary purchase. Mrs. Bynum suggested that we make a through study together of the timetables and see that we were on target in all areas. After a through study, we agreed that we were meeting all of the goals that had bet set in each area. In discussing the staff development resource inventories or banks, we looked at ways to accurately record this data and discussed actions we could take to assure accuracy of this data. We discussed the use of scan sheets to speed up the process. It was sugsested that an annual printout should be placed in the individual's personnel file. It was agreed that this data input would be the responsibility of the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, and copies of credit of participation would be furnished to the individual and to the Personnel Office, to be placed in the individual's personnel file. In a discussion concerning one-race classes, Mr. Daniels said that computer data would help us in identifying these classes prior to the beginning of school. This would help us to monitor this situation and eliminate one-race classes. We discussed the hiring of bus aides. Mr. Acklin stated that these persons would be employed as the need arises. Mr. Acklin stated that plans would be implemented to furnish transportation for extra curricular activities. He stressed the importance of increasing our transportation services and assured his dedication to implementing these services. Mrs. Bynum requested that each administrator take the timetables and respond in writing to Mr. Smith on all issues that were pertinent to their particular responsibilities. She reminded them of the deadline for submitting this information to the Metropolitan Supervisor's Office was July 27, 1990, and asked for their response by July 19, 1990. This would give us time to get our response to the lawyer's office and meet the deadline. Mrs. Bynum stated that the Personnel Office would also need to submit an updated report. Scharmel Bolling asked if w2 would ask for reconsideration from Judge Wright concerning the refusal to approve the reorganization cf Pine and Argenta Elementary Schools. It was agreed that we would proceed with plans to open the school year without implementing this change until we receive further direction from . the Courts. We pursued a short discussion of furnishing transportation to and from drill team clinics for students, and agreed that we would have to develop more explicit plans for this project. Meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m. --- --- - - . -- Attachment I-NS NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Minutes of the Desegregation Team Meeting. The North Little Rock School District Desegregation Team met on September 10, 1990 at 1:30 p.m. in the Board Room of the Administration Building. Members of the team present were Mable Bynum, Chairman, James Smith, Superinttndent of Schools, Gene Jones, Assistant Superintendent for Instructi6n, Donald Watkins, Assista11t Superintendent for Business Services, Jim Morris, Director of Personnel, and Scharmel Bolling, Coordinator for Information Services. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting by stating that Jim Morris, Director uf Personnel, will join the Desegregation Team because he is directly responsible for personnel. She also noted for the newest members that initially the Desegregation Team was formed to monitor the Desegregation Plun as set out in prior court dates. Those who report directly to Mr. Smith were appointed to the committee. Scharmel Bolling was added because of her responsibility for reporting information. Greg Daniels, with Computer Services, was added because the Desegregation Team will be working closely with that Department for figures, etc. We then discussed the requirement of a 504 Coordinator (Act 504). Gene Jones nominated Dr. Steve Phaup and Mr. Smith stated that he would prepare a statement covering this appointment to the Board. Next, Scharmel Bolling questioned the need for a Media Coalition as outlined in the Desegregation Plan. Mr. Smith advised that we need to justify what we are already doing with two of them reporting to media personnel. We next discussed the monitoring process. It was noted that all three districts have plans and the state has monitoring plans, also. The Tri-District Plan recommends three district monitoring plans for submission plus others from Section V. There are two desegregation plans. The District Plan of December 1, 1989 was submitted to the Metropolitan Supervisor, Mr. Euge11e Reville, who wrote the Tri-District Plan which was approved on March 5, 1990. He approved or recommended much of what we had offered. Steve Jones, Attorney for the District, advised the District to be cautious of specifically setting out what we monitor from the Plan. Section II of the District's December 1 Plan, Staff Recruitment, is not in the Tri-District Plan, but, it is in our Plan that we submitted\ntherefore, will be monitored. We need to be sure that our information to the courts stands. Mrs. Bynum stated that we need to be carefully monitoring and making sure we get all things done. She advised the importance of monitoring on a daily basis. We need to compare the two plans. She provided a list of all items in the Tri-District Plan, even those from unapproved sections. She requested team members to make a separate list of things that are not on the Tri-District Plan list, but, are in the December 1 plan. Those lists are to be forwarded to the Desegregation Office. The next item discussed was reporting to the courts. Mrs. Bynum requested a check list for quarterly reports required by the settleme11t .. It was noted that Pulaski County Special School District reports annually, but adds information each quarter. The next quarterly report is now due and goes to Ann Brown and Arma Hart after review by Steve Jones. Mr. Smith suggested taking the last quarterly report and adding to it by using the memos of July 27 and 30, 1990 to Arma Hart and Ann Brown as a guide. Mrs. Bynum stated that each time we meet we need to review the monitoring check list tu determine progress. School teams will report twice each year. Those reports should be reviewed by the District Team which meets monthly, the second Monday. Biannual reports go to the State Department. Mrs. Bynum noted that the State Department accepts reports twice a year and questioned the need to do them quarterly in as much as Arma Hart has indicated that her office will accept the State's form and report. Mr. Smith stated he would be talking to Steve Jones about the monitoring process and would get a note to team members regarding what needs to be added to have a complete monitoring report. It was advised that Extra-Curricular Activities reports come out of the Office of Student Affairs. Gary Goss is currently not over student participation. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Bynum will get together to look at Extra-Curricular Activities and the need for a coordinator to be assigned. Barbara Gilkey is being retained as a half-time social worker. Mrs. Bynum is handling Biracial and Human Relations Teams to assess racial climate under Section II of the Tri-District Plan. Security, Section IV, needs to be listed and assigned to a division. The training sessions with Bradley Scott on how to use the Monitoring Instrwnent during school site visits are planned for September 26 and 27, 1990. NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Attachment I-N6 Minutes of the District Desegregation Team Meeting on 10/8/90 The North Little Rock District Desegregation team met on October 8, 1990, at 1:30 p.m., in the Board Room uf the Administrative Building. The following team members attended the meeting: Mr. James Smith, Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Mr. Jim Morris, Mr. Gene Jones, Mr. Donald Watkins and Ms. Scharmel Bolling. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting and asked for a discussion of student discipline. Mr. Acklin reported that he did not have an accurate statistical data at this time due to our change over this year in the reporting system, but these would be available soon. He reported fewPr reports of discipline incidents at the secondary level thus far, and more than usual at the elemer1tary level, since the implementation of the elementary alternative program. He said that we have averaged about five students in this progran1, with eleven students being the largest number of students suspended into the progrom at one time. He said that he had very good reports from this operation of the of the elementary alternative program. Mr. Smith stated that most of discipline problems brought tu his attention had occurred at bus stops and that staff had been quick to address those problems. Mr. Acklin reported that our transportation system was working good this year. lie stated that we had bPcn c1.ble to hire adequate bus drivers to fill our need, but we are still in need of substitute drivPrs. Mr. Acklin said that he had 11othing to report on extra curricular activities, but we are providing transportation for all these activities. Mrs. Bynum noted that Mr. Horace Smith has visited with all secondary staffs except the West Campus where he is scheduled October 10, to address the teacher's role in ensuring a quality extra-curricular_ program. Gary Goss, Athletics Director, has been assigned as coordinator for spirit groups. (See attachment.) , . Mr. Jones reported on progress of the Instructional Department. He stated that we had been able to implement the special compensatory education programs. We have hired 17 Parent/Homework Center Aides for the elementary schools and provided training sessions for the personnel. He reported that we now have five computer labs working on an extended day basis in compliance with the compensatory education program. Our program at the secondary schools are moving ahead. We have designated two teachers as Ninth Grade Turning Point Coordinators, and the PALS Lab at North Litle Rock High School - West Campus is progressing. (See attachment.)~. Mr. Jim Morris reported that we have filled all personnel vacancies that occurred from the transfers of teachers into new programs since school began. He stated that in every case we had tried to fill our vacancies with minority educators, but with no positive results in obtaining minority applicants. We have requested assistance of Little Rock and Pulaski County Special School Districts in this search. Both districts have also asked us for help in filling some of their vacancies, so they are having the same problems. Mrs. Bynum expressed pleasure in the fact that our present personnel had turned down vacancies we have posted in accordance with Policy CBDA. She said that our present secondary staff were showing satisfaction in their new locations and do not wish to move to other schools, which shows how quickly the teachers have adjusted to their reassignments under the restructuring plans. Mrs. Bynum reported that she was working with individual teams to prepare for the monitoring process in the schools. She explained that we must prepare our updated quarterly reports to the Court. We agreed on the format and target date for completion was set for October 19, 1990. Mrs. Bynum stressed that pertinent information pertaining to our reports should be attached. Mr. Jones stated he was pleased with the orderliness apparent in our schools this year and expressed appreciation for the fine job our building administrators are doing. He expressed concerns with the project of documenting staff development data for our teachers. We briefly discussed this and agreed we would proceed with our plans to record all district required staff development, and we later might make changes in our procedure. Mrs. Bynum concluded with reporting attendance of she and Mr. Jones to the National Conference on Effective Schools and Multi-Cultural Education in Orlando, Florida, on August 4 through 7, 1990. She will also attend the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory's - Training-the-Trainer School Improvement Partnership Process Series on October 9 and 10, 1990, in Hot Springs.

The following team members attended the meeting: Mr. James Smith, Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Mr. Jim Morris, Mr. Donald Watkins and Ms. Scharmel Bolling. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting by furnishing copies of the agenda. (See copy attached.) The first item discussed was the District's Court Update that has to be submitted quarterly. Mrs. Bynum reported that all division reports were completed and submitted to the attorney for his approval on October 25, 1990. We have not received a response on the report from the attorney at this time. It was agreed that Mrs. Bynum would call the attorney and check on the matter. Mr. Acklin distributed copies of disciplinary reports for the months of September and October. (See copies attached.) After a through perusal by the team members, we pursued a lengthy discussion of the report. Mr. Acklin commented that we had not seen expulsions for drug related incidents so far, but they would probably occur later in the school year, because the discipline policy allows for suspension instead of expulsion for initial possession and/or use of drugs infractions. He stated that gang activities have been the greatest concern thus far. We discussed the racial composition of disciplinary actions. Mr. Acklin stated that in his analysis of the report, he was unable to mark a pattern at this point. We agreed that we needed to identify the teachers making the most referrals for disciplinary action. The next item discussed was our community bus tour provided to all staff members on November 5, during the Desegregation Staff Development day. Mrs. Bynum expressed her pleasure with the outcome of the two Desegregation Staff Development days completed on October 22 and November 5. She stated that the District had been able to provide very good programs on these two days and that our staff had been receptive to the District's efforts in providing this training. Mr. Smith brought up a discussion of problems at Boone Park. He suggested that the District needed to consider changing the bussing plans for that area next school year. Mr. Acklin agreed that we need to take a look at these problems as we make changes for the 1991-92 school year. Mrs. Bynum expressed concern with the number of expulsions and loss of students. Team members agreed it was a problem where we needed to come up with a solution that would help alleviate these problems. Mr. Smith reported that students were very receptive to the District's compensatory education programs. Students have been enthusiastic and have been very agreeable to staying after school to participate in these programs. Mr. Acklin brought up a discussion of the HIPPY program. He thought that the efforts expended in this program would benefit the District in the future by alleviating some of the disciplinary problems that we now encounter. Mr. Smith commented that so far we are only able to scratch the surface of these problems. The next item discussed was the Turning-Point program being offered at NLRHS - East Campus. This program is a compensatory education program for ninth grade students that have failed the MPT at least once during the eighth grade. The District has 20 students enrolled in the program at the present time. Mrs. Bynum stated that as we monitor the results of this program, we should be able to accrue valuable statistical data for future use. Mr. Acklin reported that the District was continuing to furnish transportation for many school functions, such as: open house activities, carnivals, athletic events,etc. Mr. Acklin stated that we had not had many problems in providing transportation. Mrs. Bynum reported on the progress of the School Based Desegregation teams. Preparations are being made in the individual schools and at the administrative level for the monitoring process. The process is scheduled to be completed prior to the Christmas Holidays. We set our next meeting for December 10, 1990, at 1:30 p.m. Meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m. aw Attachment I - NB NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Minutes of the District Desegregation Team Meeting on 12/10/90 The North Little Rock School District Desegregation team met on Monday, December 10, 1990, at 1:30 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administrative Building. The following team members attended the meeting: Mr. James Smith, Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Mr. Gene Jones, Mr. Jim Morris, Mr. Greg Daniels and Ms. Scharmel Bolling. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting and furnished copies of the agenda. (See copy attached.) The first item discussed was the quarterly District Court Update. Mrs. Bynum reported that corrections had been made, as recommended by the lawyer, and returned to the lawyer for submittal to the Court. Mrs. Bynum reported that the Biracial Committee had voiced concerns about M-to-M transfers and the Board's proposal to eliminate corporal punishment. After a lengthy discussion on these matters, at their meeting on December 4, it was agreed that Mr. Charles Hunter, Chairperson, would ask to address the Board of Education about their concern with the proposal to eliminate corporal punishment. We had a short discussion concerning M-to-M transfers. Mrs. Bynum said that the school desegregation team at Argenta had complained to her again this morning about getting three M-to-M transfer students. Mr. Aclin responded that the reason for that was that the students had attended Argenta last year and had asked to return to the same school. The M-to-M transfer policy allows this assignment. Mr. Smith asked if we were taking M-to-M students at the high school level, and Mr. Acklin assured him we were not, that the number of student enrollment at the high school level was such that we could refuse M-to-M transfers. Mr. Acklin asked if he should go talk to the Principal at Argenta, Mrs. Beverly Kelso, and explain the M-to-M transfer policy, so that she could advise her staff of the procedure. Mrs. Bynum said that it would be a good idea to consult with Mrs. Kelso. Mrs. Bynum reported that Argenta was in the process of monitoring today, and she asked Mr. Daniels about data to answer a question on the monitoring form concerning student achievement/assessment. She asked what kind of comparisons we could pull up from the computer. Mr. Daniels responded that we had been scanning our own MAT-6 and MPT scores in the Coordinator for Instructional Services' Office. Mrs. Bynum said she would check with Mr. Dyer to find out what data would be available to us. Mrs. Bynum also asked Mr. Daniels if we could get a grade distribution by teacher and race. Mr. Daniels said he could furnish this breakdown without a problem. Mr. Acklin furnished copies of the Disciplinary Report. (See copy attached.) We pursued a lengthy discussion of the report. Mr. Smith questioned if the statistics from this year for 9-10 students were reduced from last year, since the restructuring of the secondary schools. Mr. Acklin said that he had not made an actual comparison, since we had changed our method of reporting this year. Mr. Smith said that he had seen a definite reduction in the number of seventh grade students' disciplinary actions since last year. Mr. Daniels said that he could furnish data of a more definite break down of corporal punishment by schools. We discussed Seventh Street's procedure of in-house suspensions instead of suspension to the Elementary Alternative School. Mr. Acklin said he felt a need to follow through from referral on down to suspension - consultation with the teacher that makes the referral. After discussion of this, it was agreed that it would be an impossible task to follow up with every referral. Mr. Daniels said that we have a problem in the secondary schools with getting the disciplinarian action input of data. Mrs. Bynum asked if we needed to bring the secretarial personnel responsible for the input in for further training. Mr. Daniels agreed that he would set training sessions for the secretarial personnel involved. Mrs. Bynum stated that Ann Brown and Arma Hart, Associate Metropolitan Supervisors, were scheduled to meet with us on Tuesday, December 11, to go through the monitoring check list with us. She asked Mr. Jones to try to meet with the group and he agreed he would. We set our next meeting for January 14, 1991, at 1:30 p.m. Meeting was adjourned at 2:45 p.m. aw Attachment I - N9 NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Minutes of the District Desegregation Team Meeting on 1/14/91 The North Little Rock School District Desegregation Team met on Monday, January 14, 1991, at 1:30 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administration Building. The following team members attended the meeting: Mr. James Smith, Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Mr. Gene Jones, Mr. Donald Watkins, Mr. Jim Morris, Mr. Greg Daniels and Ms. Scharrnel Bolling. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting and furnished copies of the agenda. (See copy attached.) The first item discussed was the Committee's functions. Mrs. Bynum stressed the importance of each member and that each Administrator was charged with the responsibility to help in the monitoring of the desegregation plan, especially in the particular areas related to their positions. Mrs. Bynum referred them to the Plan Monitoring. (See copy attached.) Mrs. Bynum brought up a discussion of when and where we started phasing out basic classes. Mr. Smith responded that it was a part of Mr. Reville's plan, and that it was our intention to follow through with the phase out, because the other two districts have already phased out their basic classes. We have made great strides in this area by eliminating basic classes at all levels except in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. Mrs. Bynum reported that she and Mr. Morris had been meeting with the attorneys for several days to determine adjustments to be made in the Desegregation Plan. Mr. Smith was optimistic that this would not be a long drawn out process. Each districts' attorneys will revise their district's plan and then meet with all three plans for review. Mrs. Bynum furnished each member with a copy of our present Monitoring/Implementation Plan form. (See copy attached.) She said that these forms should be completed by all departments on at least a quarterly basis\nalthough, we could not do this until the attorney completes our new plan. The next item was division update reports as follows: Desegregation - Mrs. Bynum reported that all of the District's school will have completed their monitoring process on January 16, 1991. We discussed the procedure of review of the final reports. It was agreed that the reports would first be reviewed by the Principal, then reports would be reviewed by the District Desegregation Team and passed on to the Biracial Committee, before being presented to the Board of Education for review. Personnel - Mr. Morris reported that we will probably contract for some of the vacancies that have occurred, but some would be filled with assigned substitute teachers. He said that we will be starting our recruitment process of colleges and universities in early February. He reported that we were preparing necessary forms to complete the Personnel Survey for 1991-92 school year. This process is to be completed the week beginning March 1, 1991. Mrs. Bynum said that all the District's schools had reported concerns of shortage of minority staffing in their final reports of the schools' monitoring process. We discussed procedures to recruit more minority applicants. Student Affairs - Mr. Acklin furnished copies of the discipline actions in the District during the month of December. (See copy attached.) The team members pursued a lengthy discussion after a thorough perusal of the report. Mrs. Bynum expressed concern with 15 off-campus suspensions at the East Campus. Mr. Daniels explained that we did not have a code for alternative schools and thus these were showing up as off-campus suspensions, which would not necessarily be the case. Mr. Daniels said that this could be corrected and he could provide a more in-depth report to team members. Mrs. Bynum questioned Mr. Daniels about the data input from the schools. Mr. Daniels responded that there had been an improvement in the process and it was working more efficiently. Instruction - Mr. Jones reported that he would like to recommend approval of some new projects and curriculum that he was working on. 1. A new course at the secondary level - \"Principals of Technology\". The course is an applied science course covering fourteen units of applied physics. The two-year curriculum shows students how technical concepts can be analyzed and applied to equipment and devices in mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal energy systems. The Vocational and Technical Education Division of the Arkansas State Department of Education provides both start-up funding and add-on funding for student enrollment. Equipment acquired with this program could be utilized by other physical science classes. An application for start-up funds will be filed with the Arkansas Department of Education by their March 1 deadline for new programs. We propose to implement the course in 1991-92 at the North Little Rock High School-East Campus, where sophomores would be eligible for enrollment. 2. Mr. Jones reported that Stanford University was offering an Accelerated Schools Project,. and we would apply as a pilot school for this project. The Accelerated Schools Project seeks to transform conventional elementary schools into schools that accelerate the learning of all students, even those who are at-risk for school failure. The pilot schools have shown exciting results. Achievement scores are up, student and staff attendance rates are up, parent involvement is up, and student and staff morale is soaring! 3. Reading Recovery - An early intervention program for first grade students who are at-risk of failure. The purpose of the program is to give intensive help to students in reading and and writing before they get far behind and before they get more confused about what is going on in instruction. Reading Recovery does not take the place of classroom work. It supports the classroom program. In cooperation with the classroom teacher, the reading recovery teacher provides thirty minutes of one-onone instruction to each identified student on a daily basis. 4. (MAST) Math and Science Together: Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Arkansas' Project MAST: Math and Science Together is a joint effort of Arkansas Partners in Education, of the Governor's Office, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Its purpose is to implement a model education program in Arkansas over a period of four and one-half years in the area of elementary math and science. The project will include the following components: 1) expansion of a successful existing out-of-school program in mathematics for students in grades 2-6 (Gifted Math Program), having components of curriculum individualization, enrichment and problem solving, and use of microcomputers, to an in-school program serving a wider range of ability levels\n2) integration of science instruction for students in grades 2-6 into expanded mathematics model\n3) development of curricula and support materials for this integrated math/science model program\n4) provision for teacher training for 90 teachers in elementary math and science education\n5) dissemination of this model program to 16 sites throughout the state through the Restructured Schools Program\nand 6) incorporation of computer technology and the use of calculators into the model program and teacher training. Mrs. Bynum complimented Mr. Jones on his ongoing efforts of study of implementation of new and advanced programs and curriculum. Ms. Bolling stated we would need to get media coverage on these new programs. We set our next meeting for February 11, 1991, at 1:30 p.m. Meeting was adjourned at 2:55 p.m. aw Attachment I - NlO NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Minutes of the District Desegregation Team Meeting on 2/11/91 The North Little Rock School District Desegregation Team met on Monday, February 11, 1991, at 1:30 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administrative Building. The following team members attended the meeting: Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Gene Jones, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Mr. Donald Watkins, Mr. Jim Morris and Mr. Greg Daniels. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting and furnished copies of the agenda. (See copy attached.) Committee appointments was the first item discussed. Forms were furnished to members. (See copy attached.) Mrs. Bynum explained that as committees were appointed these forms should be turned in to the Desegregation Office for equity monitoring. Mr. Morris questioned the team members' responsibility of committee appointments in the schools. Mrs. Bynum responded that this was the responsibility of building and District Administrators to establish committees which reflect diverse representation and the forms reviewed by her office staff. Mr. Acklin reported on racial composition of schools and disciplinary actions during the month of January. (See copies of both reports attached.) He stated that we were in compliance, since we started off the school year in compliance, but several of the schools - Boone Park, Argenta, Indian Hills, Rose City Middle School and Lakewood Middle School- have to be closely scrutinized. Our District has 494 students at the six original magnet schools and 106 M-to-M students in Little Rock. The District has 170 M-to-M students from Little Rock. Mr. Daniels said there was a difference in accounting in Computer Services records and suggested that we need to work out a better system for school notification to the Computer Services Department. Mr. Acklin said that his office could keep a running log of these students. Mr. Acklin informed the members that under Act 609 - School Choice Act, which had February 1 deadline, we had 24 students from Pulaski County Special School District to apply for transfer to our District for the 1991-92 school year. We discussed that the funding for these students would follow to our District. Mr. Daniels suggested that there should be a withdrawal form from magnet schools, the same as is done for M-to-M transfers. Mr. Acklin said that he was working on this with Little Rock administrators. Mrs. Bynum questioned Mr. Acklin on how far long we were with Middle School groupings for the 1991-92 school year. Mr. Acklin responded that he was working on this and thought that some rezoning might have to be done for Rose City Middle School. Mr. Daniels said that by his computer projections, it looked about SOSO, but all three Middle Schools would be very close. Mr. Acklin said he was not ready to make any elementary school projections, because we still hoped to combine Pine and Argenta. We discussed the need for transportation pool stops for elementary students, and Mr. Acklin stated he was skeptical that this would work. After a thorough review of the disciplinary reports, we pursued a long discussion of disciplinary actions. Mrs. Bynum expressed concern with so many suspensions. Mr. Jones said that he had heard grievances expressed with the SAC programs, and had considered consolidating SAC into one facility. Mr. Acklin responded that that could create problems with transportation. Mrs. Bynum requested that Mr. Jones include Mr. Acklin on the Disciplinary Committee. Mr. Jones agreed. Mrs. Bynum reported that Mr. Daniels had completed a breakdown of third nine weeks grade distribution for secondary teachers. The report has been furnished to each principal for their building. Mrs. Bynum expressed concern with the percentages of students making D's and F's and especially the percentages of black students. Mr. Jones was of the opinion that grades should not necessarily be the factor of whether a student is retained. Mr. Jones requested Mr. Daniels to prepare a breakdown of first semester grade distributions to more closely analyze. Special program enrollment was the next item discussed. Mr. Jones reported that of the District's 9,044 students, 1,028 were enrolled in Special Education programs, with a racial balance improvement of 11.31 percent over the last school year. The Districts' Gifted/Talented enrollment is 644 students with 456 white students (71 percent) and 182 black students (28 percent). Six other students are enrolled from other ethnic groups. Mr. Jones reported on the progress made in the Minority Role Model Program. Paul Scott, (Parent Coordinator), Anita Cameron, (Secondary Teacher),Jerry Bradley, (North Little Rock Boys' Club) and Charles Jones, (Secondary Administrator) have been working with Mrs. Bynum on the program, which will be called Project STORM. Thirty-five 11th-12th grade students have been identified to serve as Minority Role Models. A meeting of this full committee is scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, 1991. The next item discussed was activities planned for Staff Development for Desegregation scheduled for February 25. (See memo attached.) JoAhn Brown-Nash will share her educational experiences with the entire instructional staff during the morning session. Mr. Smith will address the Board's intent in corporal punishment. (See Smith memo attached.) Mr. Jones reported that 21 small groups of instructional staff will work with 28 facilitators in the following sessions: Cooperative Training, TESA, School Based Teams, Math Manipulatives, Crisis Intervention, Media personnel at Laman Library (selecting materials with minority students in mind), Critical Thinking, Compensatory Aide Instruction, Chapter I Instructional Assistants' Instruction, Secondary Counselor Intervention Strategies and Section 504 - Handicapped Provisions. Mr. Jones reported that summer school plans would be presented to the Board on February 19, 1991. He said that expansions were planned. He said that the elementary summer school would include kindergarten students at the Pike View campus, and grades one-three at the North Heights campus. He explained that by changing to different buildings, we were trying to avoid associating certain schools as a remedial campus. Mr. Jones said the Gifted/Talented Quest program would be held at North Little Rock High School-East Campus. He informed the members a transition program funded by a grant for \"At-Risk\" students the sixth grade going into the seventh grade was also planned. This grant would provide a two week program for 20 students, and would be geared to self esteem training. He said that we would offer an orientation to sixth graders where they would attend summer sessions in the middle school they would attend next year. Mr. Jones reported that Amboy Elementary would participate in the Accelerated Schools Project as a pilot school. Mrs. Ford, Principal, and her staff have committed themselves to this project for the 1991-92 school year. Mrs. Bynum addressed the scheduling plans at the high school level. Our \" Choices\" Program is being held at the West Campus on February 11 and the East Campus on February 12. The guidance department and departmental chairpersons will be available to explain to parents and students instructional offerings for the 1991-92 school year. Middle School counselors will offer the same type of programs at a later date for parents and students at the Middle School level. Mrs. Bynum reminded Mr. Acklin that full reports are soon due from Activity Directors. Mr. Acklin responded that the cheerleader tryouts would have to be scheduled by the Activity Directors. Mrs. Bynum mentioned that Committees of the Reorganization Task Force would probably be reviewing the spirit group selection process prior to tryouts. Mr. Morris reported on recruitment efforts. He stated we had already begun with our first career fair at Philander-Smith on February 6, and are registered to attend others at colleges and universities all over the state. He reported that we were ready to do the personnel survey on March 1. Mrs. Bynum asked if it would be agreeable that we change our meeting to the first Monday of the month. Mr. Acklin said it would not be possible for him to get a disciplinary report that early in the month. We agreed to keep the meetings on the second Monday of each month. Our next meeting was set for March 11. Meeting adjourned at 3:45 p.m Attachment I - Nll NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Minutes of the District Desegregation Team Meeting on March 11, 1991. The North Little Rock School District Desegregation Team met on Monday, March 11, 1991, at 1:30 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administration Building. The following team members attended the meeting: Mr. James Smith, Mrs. Mable Bynum, Mr. Gene Jones, Mr. Bobby Acklin, Mr. Donald Watkins, Mr. Jim Morris, Mr. Greg Daniels, Mrs. Mable Mitchell, and Ms. Scharmel Bolling. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting and furnished copies of the agenda. copy attached.) (See Tne first matter discussed was the comparison of disciplinary referrals for first semester 1989/90 and 1990/91. The total number of disciplinary referrals reflected an increase of 4.4% and disciplinary actions reflected a 17% overall increase in suspensions. Current year expulsions reflected a 44% decrease. Fewer expulsions and the establishment of an elementary suspension program at the Boys Club were cited as factors contributing to increased suspensions. Mr. Smith noted that far fewer referrals related to misbehavior on buses even though approximately twenty buses had been added by the Transportation Department. Mr. Smith questioned what percentage of the total referrals reflected individual students with several referrals. Mr. Daniels explained that the Computer Services Department could generate information to address this concern in an easy-to-read format. Mrs. Bynum requested that such a format be used for all monthly reports in the future. Mrs. Bynum expressed concern about the accuracy of coding disciplinary referrals. She requested Mr. Acklin to address this concern with Principals at the next Administrator's meeting. Ms. Bolling expressed concern with the number of students referred for possession of dangerous objects. She requested clarification of the District's Policy, noting a difference between the number of students referred for this infraction and the number actually expelled. Mr. Acklin explained that each incident is examined on an individual basis as he personally reviews every reported incident of possession of a dangerous object. Depending on the circumstances, some of the students are suspended rather than expelled. Mrs. Mitchell expressed appreciation for the use of discretion in recommending expulsions. Mr. Acklin also mentioned that all expelled students are referred to the Juvenile Courts School in order for student to continue earning academic credits. Unfortunately, some students elect not to attend. These students are not given the option of attending the Alternative School. It was noted that the West Campus has not recommended any students for expulsion. Mrs. Mitchell inquired as to why there have been more expulsions on the East Campus. Mr. Smith noted that the age of the students more than the size of enrollment was a major factor in the number of expulsions. Mrs. Bynum mentioned that often situations arising in the community result in campus misbehavior. Mr. Jones requested statistics from the West Campus regarding the incidences of older students electing to withdraw from school to avoid expulsion. Mr. Smith noted that next year all students must remain in school until age eighteen or graduation, therefore, an Alternative School Program will be significant in the District. Mr. Morris mentioned that District administrators had anticipated some increase in disciplinary problems due to the secondary school reorganization, which necessitated changes in assignments for many students and staff members. Mrs. Bynum added that we had been concerned about the large number of suspensions on the seventh grade campus last year, however, the number of current year suspensions for seventh and eighth grade students show a marked decline. We will continue to monitor disciplinary referrals for these groups of students, also. Mrs. Mitchell expressed appreciation for the East Campus staff, and confidence that they were working to ensure a safe educational environment for all students. She was concerned, however, about counselors needing more time to work directly with students experiencing difficulties. Mr. Jones questioned the need for a disciplinary referral category for the Bi-District Alternative School. Mr. Acklin advised the group of the school not being a suspension program, instead one designed for students with unique needs such as inability to cope with school, poor school attendance, or habitual tardiness. He stressed the importance of making this factor known in order to benefit students enrolled in this program. The next matter discussed was how to best provide information that monitors need to compare academic achievement of black students with that of white students. The lack of this information was cited by most first semester school teams. A procedure is needed to encompass disaggregated achievement test data, grades and graduation information. Mr. Jones will assemble a committee to address this concern and provide this team a report on findings and plans next month. Several members discussed the need to follow-up on the performance of students removed from basic classes. The team also discussed reviewing the performance of students assigned to teachers who have completed specific inservice programs such as TESA and Cooperative Learning. Elementary grade distribution sheets must be prepared by hand due to the absence of on-site computer terminals. This process requires more time. There is a need for standardization in relation to the secondary schools. Mr. Daniels stated that he was eager to bring elementary schools into the computer network. Mrs. Bynum acknowledged the District's financial situation, but stressed the fact that data collection is such a critical part of monitoring, therefore, constant accumulation of data will prove to be very cumbersom without adequate computer terminals. We next reviewed and discussed first semester School Monitoring Reports. Mr. Morris expressed the need for principals to correctly code building expenditures in order to document purchases of materials and supplies for each department. Other areas of concern discussed were those related to student discipline, one-race classes, parental involvement, and seating patterns for students, with the team making note to stress the importance of school personnel encouraging interaction between various ethnic groups. The team stressed the importance of Principals sharing the Monitoring Reports with their staffs so they can see the critical concerns, as well as how other schools are handling certain matters as reflected in the numerous positive comments offered by the teams. Mrs. Bynum shared reports prepared by Principals as responses to monitoring teams concerns. The final matter discussed was the Success Through Outstanding Role Models Program (S.T.O.R.M.). There are approximately fifteen North Little Rock High School-West Campus students who completed training February 25, and returned required paperwork. The three pilot elementary schools, Argenta, Pine and Redwood, have identified approximately twenty students for participation. An equal number of participants will be chosen from each school. Mentors will work with the mentees during school time, after school, and much telephone contact will be involved. Each child's needs will be unique and each mentor will convey to his mentee a message of being on his side. Plans call for mentors and mentees to have been paired prior to the March 17 meeting of the Bi-racial Committee. There has been long term interest from this committee for the development of such a program and some members have indicated an interest in meeting some of the mentors. Mrs. Bynum mentioned a plan to add tenth grade students prior to the end of the school year. These students could become replacement mentors for graduating participants. Ms. Bolling noted that Classmates for each school might be interested in helping with the STORM program by providing things for them to do or incentives for accomplishments of goals. Mrs. Mitchel expressed pleasure with the initiation of the program and advised the team that she would like to see a program started for female students at some future time. The meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m. Attachment I-01 NORTH LITT~E ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT North Little Rock, Arkansas Minutes of Districtwide Biracial Team Meeting on May 8, l990 The North Little Rock Districtwide Biracial Committee met on May 8, 1990, at 5:30 p.m., in the Board Room of the Administration Building. The following committee members attended the meeting: Rev. Roger Silvey, Belinda White, Artha Minton, Lori Thomas, Felix Thibault, Gayle Wing, Sheryll Lipscomb, Themas Baskins, Robert Johnson, Charles Hunter, Valencia Power, Susan Shaunfield, Amanda Ware, Sue Bennett, Opal Goldsby and Anita Cameron. Several members of the administrative staff were also present. The media was repreadministrative staff were also present. The media was represented by a reporter from the Arkansas Democrat. Mrs. Bynum opened the meeting and introduced our guest speaker, Mr. Bradley Scott, Coordinator Region VI Desegregation Assistance Center, San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Scott cover~ a five state area and has conducted numerous workshops around :he United States in his efforts to effectively implement desegresation. Mrs. Bynum explained that Mr. Scott was presenting two days of workshops to three member teams from each of our schools in \"trainer of trainers\" sessions. Mr. Scott opened his address by stressing that the role and function of the biracial team was crucial in the implementation of our desegregation plan. He said that he would list our responsibilities in three categories as follows. (1) Vision - Taking a constructive look at education, scrutinizing policies to make sure we are meeting the needs of all students, never overlooking the perspective of parents and community and building a strong articulated vision of what education is going to be in our District in the future, in order to create holding power for students. (2) Data collection - This includes issues of student treatment, fair discipline, student access to programs, student perception, instilling a sense of belonging in students, curricular offerings and extra curricular activities. He stressed that as educators we were responsible to act as role models for students. (3) Feed back - Mr. Scott stated that the team was responsible for input in resolution of problems. Mr. Scott declared the goals of desegregation as: (1) ending racial isolation and segregation, (2) increasing racial uncerstanding and racial cross cultural competencies, (3) improving academic achievement and improving facilities, and (4) equipp~na all students with skills and knowledge in order that they can - achieve a good quality of life. He stated it would be very costly to implement, but further stressed that for every dollar spent up front for improvements of educational programs, it could cost the public ten dollars on the back side without the improvements. He pointed out that in the long run it was the best investment. Mr. Scott next explained the differences in equality and equity as applied in education. Equality - all students same access to all programs. Equity - comparabilities of student outcome, intervention, respond and address weakness of students' performance. Thomas Baskins questioned what to look at to evaluate implementation. Mr. Scott responded that District administrators would always be available to assist and answer any questions to help team members clarify an issue. He also stated that members were not to discount their own basic instincts and obvious interpretations. He pointed out that as members visited the different school settings that they would be able to feel that \"this school is good,\" or \"this school is bad.\" Felix Thibault questioned the timeframe. Mr. Scott responded that it would be an ongoing dynamic process, that we would never reach perfection. He stated we should strive to reduce isolation, help people to interact and insure quality educational programs. On the issue of achievement disparity, we need to not only close the gap between minority and majority, but strive to move everyone forward. Anita Cameron responded that we could not expect to move from equality to equity overnight. It will take constant and diligent work on all to bring about the change. Charles Hunter asked if members should go to schools to assess and to work with school teams. Mr. Scott responded that it was a legitimate function of the members to go to the different schools. He also encouraged team members to talk with each other. Mr. Scott concluded his presentation and turned the meeting over to Mrs. Bynum.

I have a son at Central High School and two children who are graduates of Central, My two graduates have been admitted and are attending very prestigious colleges with academic scholarships due to the quality education they received in the LRSD. I am deeply concerned with the fate of our district and the selection of top administrators for superintendent and associate superintendent. Many other patrons are concerned about the stability of the LRSD which seems to be getting worse instead of better. I sat with a group of parents this past weekend who discussed growing concerns about moving their children to private schools if competent educationally centered leaders are not selected to run the LRSD. The discussion began focusing on the lack of knowledge of the present Superintendent in knowing the background of people in the present administration who are secretly pushing to be recommended as interim superintendent. These concerns originated from several patrons of Forest Park Elementary School as well as myself, who were asked to support the recommendation of Forest Park's former principal as interim superintendent or associate superintendent to the school board. Arma Hart. This past principal is For those of us who know Ms. Hart's self serving nature, we were outraged to know that she is being secretly considered for one of the top administrative positions. We became aware of this woman's manipulative techniques when she used some influential patrons to promote her personal agendas while disregarding the true education needs of our children. In various social settings she has reminded people of how the best qualified person was not chosen for the Desegregation Monitoring Office. She indicated how friendships and the desire to keep the power in certain circles kept her from being selected for the Desegregation Monitor's position. She has said the LRSD would definitely be forced to comply with the desegregation plan if a competent and qualified person was in charge, continues to unrelentlessly push for power by supplying inaccurate information to uninformed people in strategic She positions that will promote her agendas. She pretends to support causes that these people believe in, in order to gain their confidence and support. Mrs. Hart has, again. seized the opportunity to take advantage of the disarray in the top administrative vacancies in the district to promote her own agenda of gaining power without regard for the needs of our children.Mrs. Brown, there are people who have found Mrs. Hart difficult to work with and are fearful of this woman's unrelenting push for power to gain control. Even concerns have been voiced from certain Pulaski County administrators about remaining top administrators left in our district as possible candidates that they hope will not be placed as interim Superintendent, Mrs. Hart's name led the list. We are hoping that someone who was familiar with Mrs. Hart's professional background would listen and act upon this information before Mrs. Hart's name is recommended publicly. If her name is mentioned publicly, that obnoxious John Walker would find another means to discredit our district publicly with another discrimination accusation. This action would cause more disarray and more tax paying patrons may choose to leave our district. cc: Mr. Riggs Mrs. GeeSLIP SHEET TO REGULAR BOARD AGENDA LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS July 22, 1993 To: Board of Directors From: Estelle Matthis, Interim Superintendent Subject: Personnel Changes I recommend the approval of the following employment of new staff at the indicated positions, salaries and classifications: NAME POSITION OR SCHOOL EFFECTIVE DATE SALARY CLASS SALARY Bassa, Marjorie PRE Spec 7-26-93 Plan Research 2-06 10.5 $34,098 Branch, Samuel Principal Mitchell 7-26-93 5-06 11 $40,475.04 C.A. 2,891.68 Ed/Stip 542.72 (pro-rated) Morris, Willie Principal Wakefield 7-26-93 5-06 11 $40,475.04 C.A. 542.72 pro-rated Penn-Norman, Kathy PRE Spec Plan Research 7-26-93 2-12 10.5 $40,303Resume' Marjorie Bassa EDUCATION 1976 B.S.E.

HENRY WILLIAMS, Superintendent of Schools of the Little Rock School District\nand the BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT DEFENDANTS 1. COM PLAl NT Jurisdiction is pursuant to 28 U.S.C.  1343. Relief is sought pursuant to 42 U.S.C.  1981, 1983, and 2000(e). 2, Plaintiff is an African American citizen of the United States who resides in Pulaski County, Arkansas. He has been employed by the Little Rock School District (hereinafter LRSD) since January 3, 1994 in the position of Supervisor of Security Personnel. He brings this action to secure his rights to equal protection and due process of law guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution and by the statutes provided herein. He also seeks to require the defendants to adhere to their own rules and personnel selection policies and practices. c\n\\wp60\\poole.cpt C0 'd 00 I 01Oi Bd a3\u0026gt;iTti(n\"n nhot woaj Sf i t\u0026gt; I tSo I z I Z 0 I3. Defendant Bill Bamhouse is a former of employee of the LRSD who took or participated in taking the adverse actions which plaintiff challenges in this Complaint. Defendant Henry Williams is the Superintendent of Schools of the LRSD. The Defendant Board of Education is a public body corporate which has the responsibility for setting policy and employing staff to oversee, manage and operate the public schools of the LRSD. 4. This is an action for declaratory judgment and to have the defendants mandatorily enjoined to provide plaintiff a fair opportunity to compete for a job promotion. This is also an action for damages against Defendant Bamhouse for having engaged in acts of job pre-selection which have adverse racial and due process consequenc. 5. Plaintiff is a graduate of Park College in St Louis, Missouri with a Bachelors Degree in criminal justice administration. He has a history of public and military employment. He has been employed by the LRSD since January, 1994. 6. In May or June of 1994, the LRSD announced a position vacancy the administrative position of Director of Safety and Security. The position announcement set forth the qualifications for the job and included a requirement that applicants have a college degree in a field related to safety and security. The announcement did not indicate that educational qualifications could be substituted or waived. 7. After Plaintiff Poole applied for the position but before Defendant Bamhouse became aware of plaintiffs application, Bamhouse indicated to plaintiff that: \"we need to fix this [position announcement] so Bobby can get the job.\" As c:\\wp60\\poole.cpt 2 0  d 0 0 I 0 T L Oi    d W H 0 r WOdd S't S h I tee I/T3/0 1Defendant Bamhouse was talking, he was rewriting the job description so as to fit the employment qualifications of Bobby Jones. Jones is a white person who is a retired policeman for the Little Rock Police Department When employed by the LRSD, Jones was perceived by many black police officers to be racial in his treatment of black police officers and of black citizens. 8. Jones did not meet all of the objective qualifications set forth in the position announcement or the job description. The defendants allowed Bamhouse to rewrite the job description notwithstanding the fact that Bamhouse had already \" resigned the position. Defendants proceeded to ratify Bamhouses action without there being a formal meeting by the Board on the matter. I I 9. The defendants violated their own practice, if not their own policy, in I  i writing or rewriting a job description or in allowing a job description to be rewritten in i I order to favor a particular applicant. That the application was written by a white employee to favor a white associate has racial implication. 10. The Defendant Henry Williams indicated to plaintiff that the selection process would be fair and nondiscriminatory. He also indicated that the comparative qualifications of the applicants would be subject to review by a bi-racial panel of citizens and/or district employees prior to making a selection for the position. That panel would also interview applicants and make recommendations before the position was filled. Defendant Williams promised Plaintiff Poole an interview before the panel prior to his own action upon any recommendation that panel would make to him. 11. On information and belief, Defendant Williams did not follow through c:\\wp60\\poole.cpt 3 ^0  d 00X01^2 Oi Bd daxTBn'n nhot woad Z fr : t\u0026gt; I 16 6 I / X Z0 Iwith his promise in that he did not convene a bi-raciai selection panel to interview applicants. During this same time, the District was engaged in the process of the selection of principals in the School District. Interview panels were also promised for those panels by Defendant Williams and the District for that process as well. Defendant Williams chose not to use panels in some cases and in other cases, such as in principals and other staff members, he chose to use panels. He simply used panels when he wanted to and did not do so when he wanted to\nthus, the districts polices were violated. I 12, Bamhouse recommended Jones to Williams as Barnhouse's successor and represented that Jones met all applicable criteria. This was not true. Upon the announcement of his retirement, Bamhouse then recommended that Jones act as Director of Security until the position could be filled by the Board. Defendant Williams accepted Bamhouses recommendation. That action constituted favoritism due to race or color. 13. Plaintiff met the qualifications for the position\nhe applied for the position\nthe District continued to solicit applicants for the position after plaintiffs application\nand the District changed the qualifications of the position in order to fit and favor a white employee who did not meet the qualifications that certain School District officials wished to have the job. 14. By defendants aforestated conduct, plaintiff has been deprived of due process and equal protection of laws under the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution by 42 U.S.C.  1981 and 1983, and of his rights to be fairly and equally c\n\\wp60\\poole.cpt 4 S0  d 0 0101J: 0 i    d MH0r WOdd 8* :frT t66 T / I 3/0 Xtreated pursuant to the District's own policies and procedures. Plaintiff has been i I denied an opportunity to have his objective qualifications considered by the school board in his quest for a promotion. Plaintiff has therefor been deprived of well- defined, well-estabrished legal rights which are set forth in the statutes cited herein. He has no effective recourse for the discrimination he has suffered other than this action for declaratory, equitable and injunctive relief. Any other recourse would be so costly, time consuming and uncertain as to deny effective relief. WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays that this matter be set for early hearing and. thereafter, that the Court enter an Order declaring that plaintiff has been subject to employment discrimination due to his race or color. Plaintiff also prays that the Court declare that the employment process was tainted and otherwise rife with overtones of pre-selection and nepotism in violation of law and district policy. Plaintiff further prays that he either be awarded the job position or that the job be declared vacant until appropriate consideration of the initial job requirements. As an alternative, plaintiff prays for damages and a declaration that he is entitled to fill this vacancy or to be paid as if he were holding the position and then that he awarded the next comparable promotional vacancy for which he qualifies.

Mr. Don Phillips and Ms. Debra Hamilton will be compensated the difference in pay (for the 1995-96 school year only) in the compensation they would have received had they remained employees of the LRSD when compared to the compensation received as employees of Laidlaw Transit. Please recall that the calculations on these amounts have not yet become final and the final authority to agree to this resolution can only be granted after those computations have been received and considered. in The District takes the position that Mr. Christopher Watson is different position from Mr. Phillips and Ms. Hamilton. Further, it is our information that Mr. Watson did not suffer any difference in pay from moving from the LRSD to Laidlaw. I have talked to Ms. Joy Springer regarding this matter as well as the others to be discussed herein on several occasions, whether my information is correct. I will verify Ms. Debbie Jackson was formerly employed in the Information Services Department of the District. She was involuntarily transferred to the Purchasing Department at the same pay and benefits. It is my understanding that she voluntarily accepted another position with lower pay at McClellan High School. Under the circumstances, any loss in compensation is the result of her own actions. However, Joy and I did discuss the possibility of Ms. Jackson going back to Purchasing at the same pay as she had received in Information Services. I will check to determine whether the position is still open and whether she can be given a definite job description and job title. If so, it would be my recommendation to the District that she be allowed to return to that position. Zola Tyiska was reassigned by Brady Gadberry to her position at Forest Heights Junior High School.

I have seen many, many boards in my long career, and this one is one of the two best ones for whom I have worked. They are gracious, consistent, hard-working, smart, focused, and caring. I will always remember them both as a group and as individuals, all of whom I consider to be my friends. I thank each of them for all that they have done for the Little Rock School District and for their support of me personally. I shall never forget any of them. I h ave a Iso e njoyed w ide a nd w arm s upport i n t he D ivision o f I nstruction. We have worked very hard these last five years, and I have been awed by the commitment of this staff, their knowledge and talent, their willingness to change, the time they willingly spend after hours, and their team spirit. These people work miracles every day, and they do so without complaints for the most part. Many are warm friends, in addition to being colleagues. I will miss them all, and I wish them well. The Districts principals also deserve my recognition. They have also worked very hard, cared a great deal about their kids and their schools, and were willing to make changes to improve achievement. They earned my respect. I wish also to express my respect and gratitude to Chris Heller. He is the finest school district a ttorney with whorn I have worked these m any y ears. Heisearing, positive, intelligent, strategic, and effective, and I enjoyed tremendously working with him on behalf of the District in our successful efforts to achieve Unitary Status. Ill always remember him as my friend. Finally, I wish to thank the group of parents and volunteers who rallied behind me in the first few weeks I was in Little Rock and who provided consistent support and volunteer time to help me and the District move forward. We are better now in parent and community involvement because they provided the motivation and support for change. They too became personal friends, and Ill miss them all. They know who they are. Little Rock is a wonderful communitywarm, gracious, caring, and generous. I will always be grateful that I came here and was allowed to work in this District on behalf of the communitys children. I will always remember Little Rock fondly. My decision to leave has been exceedingly difficult, for I felt at home here, I cared about our work, and I enjoyed working with those who shared my passion for improved student achievement.1 Dr. Kenneth James February 13, 2003 Page Four In closing, I wish to thank you too. Dr. James, for your leadership, for caring about the kids in this District more than the politics, for being willing to step out and do the right thing, and for your persistence in seeing things through.

Matilda Buchanan, Central High School English Department chair, with over 20 years of noted success, has resigned. Fortunately, other Arkansas students will benefit from her dedication and talents. Little Rock students, however, lose the opportunity to be inspired to reach and excel under the guidance of a master teacher who cares so much. I am a supporter of public schools. Both of my daughters are graduates of Central High School. Public education is essential in maintaining an acceptable quality of life in our community. It is a disturbing situation to watch Buchanan and other outstanding instructors leave public school service. It is particularly upsetting to believe that leaving was apparently due to open and continued harassment by a superior and that this was allowed to continue by the school administration. I hope individual teaching styles and successful curriculum plans will not be subjected to intolerable arbitrary dictates. Dedicated teachers are a rare and diminishing treasure. They need support, not donnish scrutiny.

Bernd aide, challenged by Walker, gains provisional state credentials BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette Education Writer Janet Bernard, a Little Rock School District associate superintendent for 7'/2 months, obtained an Arkansas provisional teacher certificate Tuesday after attorney John Walker raised questions about her qualifications. Tuesday afternoon, Walker filed a motion in the 10-year-old Pulaski County school desegregation lawsuit case asking U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright to find that the district had violated its desegregation plan by mismanaging funds and assigning unqualified personnel to administer the district. Wright will hold a federal court hearing on Little Rock budget issues at 9:30 a.m. Friday. Walker said he thought Bernard was not certifiable under Arkansas law to be a secondary school administrator because she lacked sufficient college credit hours in school administration above her masters degree. Bernard could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon. Walker also asked that Superintendent Mac Bernd be required to repay personally any money unlawfully paid to Bernard from the districts teacher salary fund. He said Bernard should not be paid from any other district funds if she lacks appropriate certification. The one-year provisional certificate that Bernard obtained Tuesday was granted on the basis of her teacher certification credentials in another state, said Dr. Burton Elliott, director of the General Education Division of the state Department of Education. The provisional certificate dates back to Jan. 1  standard for such certificates, Elliott said. Bernard was an elementary school principal in the San Marcos School District in San Diego County, Calif., before beginning work Aug. 1, 1992, in the Little Rock district. She earns an annual salary of $65,000 and gets a $1,200 car allowance. Bernards lack of an Arkansas teachers certificate came to light last week during a school board hearing on the suspension of Central High School Principal John L. Hickman Jr. Bernd assigned Bernard to supervise Hickman this school year, and she has become the key investigator of allegations against the principal. Those allegations include mismanagement of school funds and sexual misconduct involving students. No dates have been set for resuming the suspension hearing. Walker, who represents black intervenors in the Pulaski County school desegregation lawsuit, is Hickmans attorney as well. He is trying to persuade the Little Rock board to reinstate Hickman. In response to questioning by Walker, Bernard said last week that she had neither obtained an Arkansas certificate nor submitted her credentials to the state Department of Education, She said she thought she had a year to do so. Elliott said Arkansas educational standards do not require districts to have associate superintendents. As a result, the state Education Department did not place the Little Rock district on probation this year despite Bernards lack of an Arkansas certificate.Arkansas Democrat (gazette  SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1993  tle BOBBIE HAWKINS GOODWIN, of LitRock, died Thursday, Novem- 5 ber4,1993.

District Transportation Director Brad Montgomery (no relation to Williani Montgomery) said Little Rock police stopped the driver for speeding. He had just dropped off one load of students at a school and was on his way to pick up another toad. After stopping the bus, police learned one or more warrants had been issued for William Montgomerys arrest. Brad Montgomery said police believe William Montgomery had a suspended drivers license. Brad Montgomery said his staff checks drivers for licenses at least twice a year. A check earlier this school year did not show William Montgomerys license had been suspended, he said. Brad Montgomery said William Montgomery was suspended pending a final decision on his employment.2B  SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1993 Pulaski Arkansas Democrat (gazette ERSD pays Matthis to cover tenure as school chief BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette E(3ucation Writer : With no public announcement or discussion, the Little Rock School Board voted to pay Deputy Superintendent Estelle Matthis an additional $6,353.76 fhirihe period she served as interim superintendent. 'Matthis will be paid for the interim period at the daily rate paid former Superintendent Mac Bernd, who received a -saiary of $110,000 a year. Matthis was interim superintendent between July 2 and Oct -l-l -The decision on the payment -angered board member Pat Gee, who said Friday that Matthis has neither the doctorate degree nor the experience as a superintendent that Bernd had. But Superintendent Henry Williams, who recommended the payment, said in a telephone interview Friday that other people who served in interim positions last summer were paid at the same rates paid their the predecessors. Those interim positions included the interim associate superintendent for educational 'programs, the support services manager and the associate superintendent for desegregation. Matthis was formerly an associate superintendent for educational programs. She was given a pay increase from $68,000 to $85,000 when she was named interim superintendent in July, but the increase didnt equal Bernds salary. Her current salary as deputy superintendent remains at $85,000. School board members approved the one-time, $6,353 payment Thursday night when they voted 5-1 on a package of several items listed as consent items on the printed agenda. Gee was the single no vote. The Arkansas Democrat- to the board practice of voting Gazette was provided at the school board meeting with documents listing all the new personnel, the personnel who were leaving the district, the financial reports and the donations. The memorandum recommending the payment to Matthis was omitted from the press packet, and no specific mention of the Matthis recommendation was made during the meeting. Gee said Friday she complained about the payment but did so in a hastily called closed session after the vote was taken. Gee has regularly objected on a package of consent items. Personnel and finances are two of our most important responsibilities. I think we should vote on them separately, she said. Williams apologized for the lack of any public announcement on the salary adjustment. I dont know why you didnt get it, he said. It was an oversight. We did it (the recommendation) at the last minute and put it in the boards boxes prior to the board meeting. 1It was not intentionally not talked about to hide or bury it, Board President Dorsey Jack-son said Friday.

Woman convicted in ice-pick murder of mother, 75 BY LINDA SATTER Democrat-Gazette Courthouse Reporter Greed, explosive rage and a desire to rid herself of her mothers control were cited Wednesday as a Pulaski County woman's possible motives for stabbing her 75-year-oid mother to death with an ice pick Oct. 15,1992. After a daylong trial, Judy Diffee, 48. was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her mother. Edith Durham of 18509 Kanis Road. A jury of nine women and three men  mostly middle-age to elderly  took less than an hour to find Diffee guilty. They took less than half that time to recommend a 40-year prison term, which Pulaski County Circuit Judge David Bogard imposed. Durham, a cook in the Little Rock School District for many years, was found dead Oct. 16. 1992. in a house on land she and her daughter shared. She had 22 stab wounds in her chest, back and left arm and bruises on her head and face. Diffee. who lived in a metal shed she used as a small house about 50 yards away, testified that she found her mothers body on a couch about 8 a.m. She said she found an ice pick on the floor nearby and, thinking one of her two adult sons had been there that night, tried to hide the pick' to protect him. Both sons were among the family and friends who testified against her. Diffee alone testified on her own behalf. Sheriffs Sgt. David Adams said that after Diffee gave him written consent to search her shed, he saw her leave the shed and put something in her purse. He said he followed her behind a barn, where she removed something from the purse and placed it in a box. w V, : M2 gSB fees two sons. Scott and Mark. Bonnie England, a friend oi Durham, said that when she spoke with Durham by telephone the night of her death, mother and daughter were fighting because Durham wouldn't take Diffee to get ice cream. She said she heard Diffee yell at her mother. I wish you were dead. England said she had twice seen bruises on Durham, who reluctantly admitted her daughter had inflicted them. Mark Diffee testified that his mother tackled him one day in a fit of anger and told him, Ill de you like I did Granny.

((Mrs. Matthis and I dont al-ways agree with respect to district BY CYNTHIA HOWELL DemocrabGazene Education Writer Little Rock School District Superintendent Henry Williams intends to recommend to the school board this month that the No. 2 position in the district be eliminated next year. to According sources who asked not to be identified Thursday, Williams told Deputy Superintendent Estelle Matthis within the past week that he will recommend cutting Matthis to save $300,000 next year. The school district is attempting to make $9 million in budget cuts and adjustments to balance next years revenues and expenditures. School districts are required by law to operate with a balanced budget. Matthis, 58, supervises three assistant superintendents who supervise all school principals. She also supervises the associate for instruction, who oversees operations, Walker said, but spokesman, said Thursday that gjjg jg by far the most knowl- Williams has made no public an- ..... nouncements about what administrative positions might be eliminated.

Williams, Associate Superintendent Russ Mayo and other employees Williams has appointed to the incentive elementary her position and offering her a lower-paid job as an associate or assistant superintendent. The elimination of the deputy post, which could save the district $15,000 to $20,000, may only be the beginning of a more comprehensive reorganization of district administrators. Williams has said publicly that he will recommend cutting 10 to 12 administrative positions schools and as many as 18 curriculum directors and coordinators. She makes an annual salary of $86,200  second only to Williams $115,000. Associate and assistant superintendents make salaries in the $60,000 to $70,000 range.

She is the districts second- highest ranked employee. Matthis has been a district employee for 29 years and the deputy for the past two years. She said Wednesday that she has been ill for a long time and had to be hospitalized for a short while last September. Matthis medical leave coincides with a school board decision last week to cut $400,000 in administrative expenses to help balance the 1995-96 budget. Superintendent Henry Williams has said the deputy superintendents position is one of 12 administrative jobs to be eliminated, beginning July 1. Also to be eliminated is the associate to the deputys position, now held by Sterling Ingram. As the deputy superintendent, Matthis supervises more than a dozen curriculum coordi- natbrs and the districts assistant superintendents, who oversee the\u0026lt; approximately 50 school prihcipals. Williams has said he will replace the deputy position with a new associate or assistant superintendent position. The salary for the\ndeputy is $86,200. Salaries for assistant and associate superintendent positions in the district range from $60,000 to $70,000. The administrative cuts are just one component of a package of budget cuts before the school board. Other proposals not yet voted on include shortening the the-school year by two days and cutting employee pay accordingly. .The district mailed about 2,500 certified letters to teachers and administrators late last week, notifying them of the potential reduction in pay. Additionally, the district has sent layoff notices to 33 teachers. However, those people may not actually lose employment. They could be assigned to other jobs th^t are vacated due to retirements and resignations.I Arkansas Democrat (gazette | MONDAY, MAY 22, 1995 Cooynehl O Uttle Rock Newspapers. Inc. James L.

TRANSPORTATION If early student release or closing of schools is indicated, the Superintendent will determine whether emergency routes or regular routes will be used. Afternoon bus runs will not begin or continue if running those routes poses a serious threat to student safety. Recommendations concerning delay of bus runs and the diverting of bus loads to alternate locations will be made by the principal of the affected schools and the Director of Transportation to the Superintendent for a decision. When immediate communications are necessary, interim decisions will be made by the Director of Transportation.

CARE PROGRAM When the schools are not opened as a result of inclement weather, the CARE Program will be operated in selected schools. The program will be in operation from 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. in the schools listed below. Brady Elementary Chicot Elementary Forest Park Elementary Gibbs Magnet 7915 West Markham 11100 Chicot Road 1600 North Tyler 1115 West 16th TRANSPORTATION If adequate early notification of emergency conditions has not been accomplished through the media, buses will make every effort to pick up students at their assigned bus stops in the morning and take them to their assigned school. If the assigned school is inaccessible due to icy conditions, flooding, downed power lines, electrical outages, etc., the students will be taken to an alternate school for safekeeping, supervision, and communication. Alternate schools will be selected by the Transportation Department based on conditions at the time. Patron questions and non-emergency communications should not be referred to the Transportation Department during emergency operations. It is vital that the Transportation Department telephones and staff are accessible for emergency purposes. The Transportation Department will make eveiy effort to provide the schools with information needed to respond to patron concerns. Principals will not provide \"private line\" telephone numbers to patrons. These lines must be kept open for emergency communications. Page 7 of 22ATTACHMEOT 3 DECISION NOT TO OPEN SCHOOL OR TO DELAY THE OPENING OF SCHOOL Page 3 SCHOOLS School personnel are expected to make every possible effort to get to school during severe weather situations and are expected to remain at the school until released by the Superintendent. This is particularly important due to the possibility of the school being selected as an alternate school for student safekeeping and supervision after the schools regular students have been released. Principals are expected to accept and provide supervision for all students delivered to buildings designated as alternate schools. Principals are expected to coordinate closely with the Transportation Department on the release of buses and bussed students during all emergency situations. FOOD SERVICE Principals are expected to notify their food service manager as soon as they are informed that students are being diverted from their building or that additional students are being sent to their building. Although plans do not envision a likelihood that additional food service support will be required,the possibility does exist and must be part of our planning. PLANT SERVICES Principals are expected to notify Plant Services of any failure or imminent failure of their building support system. Plant Services must, in turn, notify the Transportation Department to ensure that students are not delivered to, and/or are immediately removed from, a building that is unsafe for student occupation. Plant Services must ensure that the Transportation Department is aware of power outages, downed power lines, etc., which would make a school unsafe or inaccessible. The Director of Plant Services will provide any vehicle maintenance or recovery support available upon request of the Director of Transportation. Page 8of22ATTACHMENT 4 Revised November 1993 DECISION TO NOTIFY PERSONNEL OF EMERGENCY CONDITIONS School Year 1993-94 Sudden paralyzing disasters can strike school communities anywhere. When they do, school disasters become emergencies for school personnel. Whether a crisis arises by accident or willful violence, schools can be disrupted and become focal points of fear, pain, and chaos. In case an emergency condition occurs, the Superintendent or appointed designee will immediately confer with senior staff. If the emergency condition appears to warrant the implementation of the Districts Crisis Management Plan (as explained in ATTACHMENT 5), the following procedures will be used to notify administrative staff. 1. Notification of Personnel - The Superintendent or appointed designee will notify the Deputy and Associate Superintendents, Manager of Support Services, Director of Communications, Assistant Superintendents, Norma Rodgers, and if necessary, the police and fire departments.

Many situations will be handled by the school staff, but certain situauons, such as a shooting, hostage, bodily harm of any kind or a natural disaster would require the Director of Communications to be at the site. The person at each school listed as that site's media representative in the school's emergency plan will assist the Director of Communications at the site during the emergency situation. Those duties are set out below. TTiere will be numerous groups that must be reached during and after a crisis. A checklist mcludes: - St^, students, and school crisis team  District administrators and school board members - Police, fire, disaster - Media - Parents/guardians - Community experts (clergy, government, counselors) - General public In order to get a better idea about the variety of activities that will be simultaneously underway during a crisis, this plan lists steps that the Communications Director will take, along with some of the steps at site personnel and auxiliary groups may be taking that will relate to media and information needs. DAYl Site (In accordance with Building Security Plan)  Assess situation, DO NOT move or disturb evidence at site Page 18 of 22Gaer needed information for emergency calls Call 911: - Give assessment of situation (name, address, phone number of school, etc.) Do not release names to anyone other than necessary school and emergency officials at this time until family/guardian can be notified.

When that is not appropriate, however, it may be necessary for an employee to move to a vacant position that carries a different salary, contract term, and/or working condition. In the event an employee, through no fault of his/her own, is moved to a position that carries a lower salary, contract term, or working condition, the following will be the policy of the Board of Directors: A. B. If the Board of Directors makes a decision prior to the statutory deadlines for making changes in public school employee contracts for the following year, the affected employee will be notified in a timely manner and any subsequent change in position, salary, or working condition will adher to the standard established for the salary, new position. If the Board of Directors makes a decision after the statutory deadlines for making changes in public school employee contracts for the following year, the affected employee will retain his/her salary for the remainder of the current contract year. The employee will be notified in a timely manner that the terms of his/her contract will be changed to confoirm to the terms established for the position. The exception to this provision is displaced employee accepting a in the case of a new position that is covered by a labor agreement, in which case the salary and other terms of the labor agreement will be effective immediately upon assuming the new position.c w: J :i*2 Little Rock School District To: Mrs. Ann Brown, Desegregation Monitor From: Estelle Matthi nterim Superintendent Re: Request for Memoranda Date: August 23, 1993 I have AUG 2 0 1993 'C\u0026amp;Q Qf ise\nM: been advised that ODM has requested copies of written directives from me to employees. In response, I enclose for your review copies of directives or memoranda regarding desegregation- related issues.

As you You will also find a memorandum dated August 11, 1993, directive of the same date. After the hearings on June 24, 1993, regarding the proposed site for the new Stephens Interdistrict 1993, and a School, Judge Wright advised Jerry Malone that the Court would not impose a requirement that ODM make requests for information only through designated channels. The Court, however, strongly encouraged the LRSD to develop some procedure to ensure that District administrators and attorneys know what information is being transmitted by the LRSD. This was discussed with you on Friday, July 9, 1993, when Jerry Malone and I met with you in your office. The attached directive attempts to put in place a process whereby ODM will get timely and accurate information, while at the same time, the District attempts to ensure that commitments, policies or procedures are not made, altered or otherwise affected by individuals without actual authority to do so. As you are aware. the LRSD has several thousand employees. Accordingly, there might be some initial growing pains as this directive becomes fully operational. Prompt notification of any concerns by your office to my office will ensure that any problems are handled expeditously. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501)374-3361.

The changes are for \"Initial Salary Placement\" and \"Vacation\", only. regulations would remain as approved July 25, 1991 until brought to the Board for revision. All other sections of the The change in \"Initial Salary Placement\" does two things. One, the change allows the hiring of an administrator from within the without causing him/her to work for a reduced daily rate of pay in the administrative position. For example, many teachers with experience will not accept administrative positions such as assistant principalships because they would have to accept less compensation than they would receive as a teacher. For example One, the The second placement change would restrict the salary credit for someone being hired to an administrative position from outside the District to receiving credit for only seven years, limit on previous credit in the current regulation, would make the limit the same for teachers and administrators. There is no This change The change in the \"Vacation\" regulation would bring the language up to date with the change that the Board approved June 24, dealing with administrator pay and vacation credit. 1993, Initial Salary Placement Credit for previous experience will be granted at the rate of one year of credit for each three years of teaching or other non-administrative e^^erience. Credit for previous acceptable administrative experience will be granted at the rate of year of credit for each year of experience. one For administrators new to the Little Rock School District, previous experience will be limited to seven years credit so that initial placement will not be higher than step eight on the salary schedule. For administrators promoted within the District, the daily rate of pay shall not be less than the administrator was earning at the time of the promotion. exceptions to this placement criteria must be recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the Board of Directors.

The system was created by, and is governed by, state statutes. Members of a Board are chosen by citizens of a district to represent them and the state in the legislative management of public schools. The Board of Education has the dual responsibility for implementing statutory requirements pertaining to public education and local citizens desires for educating the communitys youth. While the Board has an obligation to determine and assess citizens desires, it should be understood that when citizens elect board members to represent them in the conduct of public education they at the same time endorse their representatives with the authority to exercise their best judgment in determining policies, making decisions, and approving procedures for carrying out the responsibility. The Board therefore affirms and declares its intent to: 1. Maintain two-way communications with citizens of the District. The public will be kept informed of the progress and problems of the schools, and citizens will be urged to bring their aspirations and feelings about their public schools to the attention of this body which they have chosen to represent them in the management of public education. 2. Establish policies and make decisions on the basis of declared educational philosophy and goals. All decisions made by this Board will be made with primary emphasis given to the purposes set forth, most crucial of which is the optimal learning of the children enrolled in our schools. 3. Act as a true representative body for citizens of the District in matters involving public education. The Board recognizes that ultimate responsibility for public education rests with the State of Arkansas, but individual Boards of Education have been assigned specific authority through statute. The Board will relinquish none of this authority since it believes that decision making control over the childrens learning should be in the hands of local citizens as much as possible.

Im pleased that the district has formulated a timetable for this important action. I have a question and some observations about the schedule. I notice that the policy categories arent in the alphabetical order in which they are catalogued in the board policy manual, so obviously the district decided to approach the review other than alphabetically, which makes sense. But what criteria did you use to prioritize the order in which the district would review the policies? This schedule reflects a decidedly top-down view of the district with the critical areas of students, instruction, and school-community relations relegated to the bottom of the list. Operationally, it appears to present some problems. For example, we know that no later than the January 1999 registration period, the district must have underway a massive public relations campaign to explain and sell the new student assignment plan to the community. Yet this schedule doesnt provide for revisiting the policies that should guide school-community relations until June 1999. Also, students and instruction are what schools are all about, and we constantly talk about the importance of putting students first. Yet this schedule, which wont focus on students and their instruction until late next spring, doesnt comport with a student-first focus. You may have very sound reasons for the order of this schedule of which Im unaware, which is why Im interested in knowing the rationale behind it. I would expect the positioning of topics on the schedule to reflect the districts priorities and align the review with the rhetoric. Otherwise, it sounds like ready-fire-aim. 7 Little Rock School District RECEn'eo 1 0 1998 September 9, 1998 OFFICE OF O'5SEGRGATION MONITORING Ms. Ann Brown Office of Desegregation and Monitoring 201 East Markham, Suite 510 Heritage West Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Re: Schedule of School Board Policy Review Dear Ms. Brown: Upon receipt of your letter regarding the scheduled order or rationale behind review of LRSD Board Policies, the following information should be noted: The scheduled review of Policy Index Indicators was carefully established with a broad array of factors that came into play. It was important to take into consideration each section while recognizing the varied timeframes necessary for their completion (i.e. a small amount of time with little refinement necessary for the Bylaws, prior work that had been completed over the summer on the foundation piece and the necessity to allow Mark Millhollen ample time to know our direction for fiscal management. The student and instructional sections are spring reviews for the next school year and do not effect the current academic year. We attempt to limit changes which are mid year. The second issue you raised about school! community relations and timeliness of the consideration given potential policy changes necessary in redistricting is noted. We did not indicate that in areas and t or issues such as this that we will not be promulgating new or modified rules for student assignment nor any other major initiative. Even in those instances we always consider delaying the effect or grandfathering to minimize the negative effects of change wherever possible. We concur quality of instruction is a major component of the revised plan. Work teams in a number of areas are in place and focused to produce quality student results . .. particularly as it relates to the WE SHALLS. The full review of all instructional policies and their coordination with these initiatives is also scheduled to be completed in the spring of the current academic year. We recognize the enormity of this task and are committed not just to introduction but to full implementation. 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501)374-3361I am not versed on the position ready-fire-aim, as you have noted but recognize this significant and most important task of the Policy framework being a process. An area noted first or last does not equate or reflect its degree of importance. We analyzed the schedule and policy framework taking into account the potential impact on people, giving equal weight to timeliness of any change and its communication to get maximum benefits for students, parents, and staff. Dr Gamine has noted in recent conversations, we are not just about becoming unitary but more importantly we are about producing maximum instructional results for our students.

Please identify, by policy or regulation number, those board policies and regulations which were developed or amended as a result of this committee review including those already adopted as well as those in the pipeline for adoption. 1 am aware that you do not categorize board policies by their relation to the desegregation plan, but it is clear to me that you have made significant efforts to avoid lapses and voids in plan compliance. 1 want to relate, for the record, the actual processes you have used and to describe the resulting board policies and regulations.

The complaint should be brought to the administrator/supervisor at the point where the possible violation exists. Within ten days after receipt of the complaint, the administrator will attempt resolution with the complainant in an informal manner. If a satisfactory informal resolution cannot be reached, the complainant and/or the administrator may seek the assistance of the Districts responsible official. Step 2 (Formal Complaint) If the complainant is unable to secure a satisfactory resolution through informal means at step 1, the complainant may file a formal complaint. The complaint should be filed with the LRSDs official who has district level responsibility for that area. The complaint must be filed within ten days of the response of the administration at step 1. The complaint should be in writing and give a concise but thorough overview of the alleged problem or violation and indicate the specific relief requested. All relevant documents also should be included. The responsible official will investigate the complaint and collect whatever information is needed to make an informed decision. The responsible official will issue a written finding within fifteen days of the receipt of the complaint or inform the complainant of the reasons that it is not possible to issue a finding in that time frame. If a finding cannot be issued within fifteen days, it will be issued as soon as practicable. 2LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE\nACG-R2 (continued) Step 3 (Appeal to the Board of Education) If the complainant is not satisfied with the finding at step 2, he/she may request a hearing with the Board of Education. The request for the hearing must be made within ten days of the written finding issued at step 2. The request for the hearing must include a statement of the complaint, the finding of the responsible official from step 2, and any response to the finding that the complainant wishes to present. It should include the reasons that the complainant believes the finding is in error. The individual members of the Board will review the information presented with the written request for the hearing prior to following months Board agenda meeting. The Board will decide at the agenda meeting whether or not to place the appeal on the agenda for a hearing. If the Board decides not to hear the complaint, the written finding of the Districts responsible official will be the position of the LRSD. Timelines The failure of the complainant to comply with the identified timelines will be considered to be an abandonment of the complaint. Effect of Settlement Any settlement of a complaint will be applicable to that complaint only and will not be binding authority for the disposition of any other complaint. Anonymous Complaints The LRSD is committed to compliance with its legal obligations. As a result anonymous complaints will be thoroughly investigated and handled in a serious manner. However, anonymous complaints are more difficult to substantiate and investigate. Therefore, complainants are encouraged to be open, forthcoming, and identify themselves to assist in a satisfactory resolution to the complaint. The LRSD recognizes that some students, patrons, and employees will not come forward with legitimate complaints because of a fear of retribution. The LRSD will not condone or tolerate reprisals against complainants by any of its employees. Employees who exercise retaliatory behavior against any complainant will be appropriately disciplined. 3LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE\nACG-R2 (continued) J Reporting Outside the Process In instances where there is a genuine sense of potential reprisal and it is not realistic to report the complaint at the lowest administrative level, the complaint may be made with the Districts responsible official. The responsible official may refer the complaint to another administrator in the departments organizational structure to attempt a resolution. 407/08/1999 15:54 3240567 JQD PAGE 02 Little Rock School District July 8,1999 Mr. John Walker 1723 Broadway Little Rock, AR 72206 Dear Mr. Walker: 1 received your broad request\" for information dated July 7.

Please report to work on time every day. If you must be late, you are to call your supervisor so that she/he will know when to expect you. Frequent or chronic tardiness is not acceptable. 2. Please do not leave your work before the end of the work day - again unless your supervisor has given you specific permission to do so. We understand occasional needs to leave for doctor appointments or other emergencies, but the employee needs to be at work the full day except on rare occasions. 3, Please radically limit the frequency and duration of any telephone calls you receive or make to conduct your personal business. If there is no alternative, everyone understands occasional phone calls, but frequent and long conversations are not acceptable. 4. Do not leave your work to run personal errands, to have your hair cut/styled, to purchase personal items, to visit with friends, etc. Our Division is constantly criticized for these practices, whether true or not. Please do not do anything to feed the grapevine. 5. Answer the telephones. Voice mail and/or no answers make our customers believe no one is working. 1 called five different numbers one day seeking some help and never got a live body! 07/08/1999 15:54 3240567 JQD PAGE 05 ( 1 Expectations for the Work Day March 31,1999 Page Two Employees who have late afternoon, evening, and/or week-end meetings may certainly be more flexible with their schedule than hourly employees, but fiexibilitv should never be abused. As I reiterate these rules, I recognize that many, many of you never give less than 100 percent. Already I know who you are, and I am appreciative of your work ethic and commitment. Thank you! On the other hand, I see and hear about abuses that concern me, so I felt it necessary to remind everyone of the basic expectations of the district.

To that end, the Little Rock School District will provide: (1) a program of basic education for all students\n(2) programs that address the special needs of students (emotional, physical, and mental)\nand (3) enrichment opportunities such as art, music, and athletics. Through an organized program of studies, each student will experience academic success and will learn and appreciate responsibility and productive citizenship.

Therefore, it must be based upon the results of the 1984-85 school year. For purposes of clarification, the mission statement adopted by the Board of Directors will be the general goal of the District. All activities of the District will be centered around that mission statement. The goals that are stated in the first year of the six-year plan are goals that have been established that will be addressed in the six-year plan. These are the specific plans around which the plan will be written. The annual goals that are adopted by the Board prior to the beginning of the school year will be used as specific measurements by which the District will be able to evaluate its growth. GOALS FOR MEASURING GROWTH 1 GOALS FOR THE SIX-YEAR PLAN MISSION STATEMENT 1. The District administrators will evaluate the degree to which the 1984-85 goals were reached. 2. 3. The Board of Directors will approve the goals for the 1985-86 school year, (see attached) 1 I The District will hold three public meetings for the purpose of receiving input from the citizens concerning the 1986-87 school year. The dates for those meetings are listed below. i Rockefeller Intermediate School - September 19, 1985 Pulaski Heights Junior High School - September 23, 1985 Parkview High School - September 30, 1985 , I 4. Appoint a planning coordinator November, 1985. t 5. The Board of Directors will adopt a mission statement November, 1985. 1 I i I I -2- I j  6. The Superintendent will appoint grade level and/or subject area committees composed of staff members to study their respective areas. Recommendations will be presented to the Superintendent prior to December. 1985. 7. The individual buildings will begin to plan how they will receive community input for developing tneir building plan. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 1 The Superintendent will prepare for the Board a six-year plan. The plan will be presented to the Board prior to January 22, 1986. The District will conduct a series of public meetings for the purpose of sharing the plan with the public and for the purpose of receiving input on the plan. Those meetings are scheduled as listed below. On or about January 28, 1986 On or about February 5, 1986 On or about February 13, 1986 The Board of Directors will conduct a series of public work sessions on the proposed six-year plan. The Board of Directors will discuss the proposed six-year plan at regularly scheduled Board meetings in January, February, and March. The public shall have the opportunity to address the Board about their concerns relating to the planning report. The Board shall adopt the six-year plan on or before May 1, 1986. The Board shall adopt the individual building plans on or before May 15, 1986. The District and the individual building plans will be submitted to the Arkansas Department of Education prior to July 1, 1986. The District will evaluate the degree to which the goals established for 1985-86 school were attained and report those to the Board and the public prior to September 1, 1986. The Board will adopt goals for the 1986-87 school year prior to the beginning of the 1986-87 school year. The Superintendent will announce the dates for the public meetings for the purpose of hearing concerns of the public on items included in the 1987-88 school year prior to October 1, 1986. The Board will adopt or modify the mission statement prior to December 1, 1986. -3- 1 Revised 8-28-85 1 IITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT GOALS/OBJECTIVES 1985-86 1. 2. 3. At least eighty-five (85%) percent of the students in the Little Rock School District will master the skil1s/competencies on the Arkansas Minimum Performance Test (grades 3, 6, and 8) and the Little Rock School District Criterion Referenced Test (Grades 1, 2, 4, 5 ) in the 1985-86 school year. At least seventy-five (75%) percent of the students as determined by performance on a standardized test measure will show individual growth of at least one year and one month or be at least one year above grade 1evel. The school climate at individual buildings will improve as evidenced by: a. b. decrease in behavioral incidents that cause classroom and building disruptions and result in administrative referrals and/or suspensions. increase in parental participation. I I r c. improved attendance. d. reduction in the number of class tardies. e. f. improved building cleanliness. increase in student participation by race and sex in extracurricular activities. (Where the race is in a minority increase must be shown.) (1) more black student participation in academic and service club activities. 4. (2) more white student participation in athletic activities. The difference between the percentage of black students above grade level and the percentage of white students above grade (5) percent as measured by stan- level will decrease by five dardized tests. 5. 6. Teacher absences due to short term illness (1-19 days) will be decreased by ten (10) percent over the 1984-85 school year. Ninety (90) percent of the parents who complete the \"Quality of Education\" survey that will be conducted during the 1985-86 school year will rate the quality of education being provided in the Little Rock School District as satisfactory. (This goal will not be used in principal's evaluation.) -4-I PRIORITIES First Priority A. To help all students receive and master the tools for learning: 1 . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. reading writing mathematical skills science and scientific skills study skills speaking (communication) creative thought critical thought B. To develop in students an awareness and an appreciation of their heritage: 1 . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. history music art language literature politics economics philosophy sociology Second Priority The second level of priorities are listed below. These are. as the rafpnnri-zation of second priority suggests, not as important as the areas in the first priority. These are areas in which the educational system should assist but for which it should not assume primary responsibility. The * schools do not have the financial capability nor the expertise to assume total responsibility for these activities. 'I I a a II I I!

Nationally, it is likely the administration will continue to follow policies that will \"boil the fat out\" of the economy, and the Arkansas economy will continue to do worse than the national picture. It is unlikely that federal funds for education will increase significantly even if the voucher system gets the treatment it should. Since Congress seems to have no better handle on the national economy than the administration, it is questionable that the 1988 election will have any positive effect on the economy. 1' 11 ! P I f id I 2. LOCAL REVENUES  Amendment 59 will prevent growth in local income i' from personal property until the millage rate equals that of real property (that may take ten years). Utility property income will be frozen for the first five years and will begin a reduction process in the sixth year. The growth in real property will depend on the state of the I* I economy. Ue have projected annual growth for the period at the average annual rate experienced for the past nine years. 3. STATE AID  Besides the general impact of the national economy, the agricultural outlook specifically will restrict state income in the near In addition, our form^a aid nay be reduced the first two years of the period for \"repayment\"/excess formula payments in the past two future. years. In light of these constraints, we have projected small Increases In state aid for the period. Ue have projected operational funding for the gifted and talented program for the entire period. 4. FEDERAL AID  We have not projected the Magnet School Assistance Grant in 1986-87 because, although two-year funding is the normal life of the grant, there are no guarantees. Ue should have more specific information about the grant before the 1986-87 budget Is adopted. The projection of federal aid Is baaed on Indirect costs and Impact aid. 5. BAL ANGES  The district should maintain a minimum of *1 million in the contingency throughout the period.

I p statement of Need I There is a need to continue to improve the quality of teaching and the quality of administration in the Little Rock School District. There is a need to broaden expectations of students academically in order to avoid limiting expectations to just the \"basics.\" There is a need to increase the academic expectations of students in the \"regular\" and \"basic\" classes and avoid the development of elitism in the gifted and talented programs. There is a need to remove any barriers that prohibit the District from reaching a unitary status. There is a need to limit the administrative requirements of paperwork for teachers and a need to develop a better communication between schools concerning students who have problems that are not easily recognized through the record-keeping procedures. The District needs to eliminate the practipe of taking the teachers and principals from the building during periods of instruction. Objective Number One The District administration will examine practices of the District that are discriminatory and will remove them. Objective Number Two The District administration will remove all unnecessary and burdensome paperwork.

I  I I1 I X. -64- I ' *1 I I  I T n 'I: PROBLEM NUMBER ONE J 1 The current school bus fleet consists of ninety-one (91) route buses and sixteen (16) special education vehicles, the majority of which must be replaced within the next three (3) years to ensure current service levels. A. Proposed Solution I i I I I 1. Accelerate the procurement cycle of buses by entering into lease-purchase agreements. 2. Offer for sale all vehicles considered to be unrepairable. B. Analysis I i i The current bus fleet has forty-eight (48) 1977 Ford buses, most of which have in excess of 100,000 miles. The District is averaging five (5) breakdowns a day with a high (worst case) estimate of eleven (11) on any one day. Replacement parts, particularly engines and transmissions, are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Recognizing replacement requirements, the District has obtained ten (10) new buses each year for the past four (4) years. Continuation of this replacement cycle is required to maintain current service. A five year lease-purchase plan will allow the procurement of buses at approximately $6,400 per bus per year with a purchase option of $1 at the end of five years. The total cost of a bus 1 would be approximately $32,000 as opposed to $25,000. This would appear to be the best method of updating and increasing the fleet within yearly budgetary constraints. C. Operational Plan 1. Objectives a. To provide adequate operational vehicles to ensure service at the present levels. b. To continue replacement at minimum cost. I 2. Implementation Strategy a. Funds will be allocated to lease buses at $6,400 per bus per year. I b. Older, high mileage buses will be sold to partially alleviate the cost of the replacement program. I -65- i'T 3. Responsibility S' Under the direction of the Manager of Support Services, the Director of Transportation will be responsible for implementing this plan. 4. Evaluation I Evaluation will be based upon the time line and cost of modernizing and increasing the size of the bus fleet. pj a a 5. Cost Ten additional vehicles at $6,400 per bus per year $ 64,000 -66-T 1 PROBLEM NUMBER TWO I District lunch and breakfast programs operate as an integral part of the educational process without financial support from District operating funds. Participation in the federal child nutrition program provides free and reduced price benefits for approximately 9,500 students. Because of the federal legislative process, there is no stability in funding from year to year. A. B. Proposed Solution j I Operation of the lunch and breakfast programs will continue under the federal and state guidelines, based on available funding for 1986-87. Analysis Program income from federal reimbursement is not expected to increase by any significant amount. Child nutrition programs are up for reauthorization by Congress in 1985. Federal section 4 reimbursement is currently received for all reimbursable meals served in the program. Reimbursement for free meals. Section 11, covers the cost of raw food, labor, and other expenses, including replacement eeqquuiippmmeenntt.. The price charged for student meals increases in direct relation to rising labor (salary increases) a,.n.Jd f'o--oJd cosLts_.. The value of donated commodities received from I I a C. the United States Department of Agriculture will possibly decrease by one-half to one cent per meal. Operational Plan 1. Objectives a. b. To break even for the 1986-87 school year in the District lunch and breakfast programs. Report by July 20, 1987. 1 2. 1  To utilize microcomputer capability in supplying individual school food service operations with three financial management statements within the 175-day operating period by January 1, 1987. Implementation Strategy a. b. To direct department operations for preparation and service of 2,099,475 meals in the lunch program and 428,000 meals in the breakfast program. Monthly financial reports will be available to the Manager, Support Services, by the 20th of the second month following the report period. -67- I I 7 Ri I 3. Responsibility 3 I ss' Under the direction of the Manager, Support Services, the Director of Food Services will be responsible for implementing this plan. 4. Evaluation The District programs will be evaluated by District and State Department of Education personnel, using the Assessment Improvement Monitoring System Performance Standards and I I the Supervisory Assistance Review procedures. Financial audits will be performed by independent school auditors. State Department of Education auditors, and a commodity reviewer. 5. Cost Operational cost for all programs is anticipated to be $5,181,901 (includes no funds from District operating budget). |l! 1 'ft I1 I 1 HII li .III i' I -68- J I T T .1I ' 4 PROBLEM NUMBER THREE The existing nutrition education program for kindergarten through third grade is coordinated and funded by the Food Service Department. The funds for this program are from continuing federal grants which provide for payment of educational food experiences only. The program is an integral part of the basic skills curriculum for all students in K-3, emphasizing language arts, reading, and math skills to teach nutrition concepts. Skills are cross-referenced with the Early Prevention of School Failure Program, the Cumulative Reading Record Folder, and Mastery Skills Record for Mathematics currently used by the District. A. B. C. Proposed Solution Funding application will be made to the State Department of Education to continue the Little Rock School District nutrition education program for all students in grades K-3 for 1986-87. Analysis Federal legislation will impact the continuation of this program. Should Congress decide to cut nutrition education funds for 1987, the Nutrition Education Section of the State Department of Education would determine the outcome of the grant applications. Operation Plan 1. 2. Objective a. b. To submit a letter of application to the Arkansas State Department of Education by April 30, 1986. To coordinate the curriculum plans, revision, and implementation for the 1986-87 school year. Implementation Strategy a. b. c. Review the nutrition education curriculum with the Elementary Education Supervisor by August 15, 1986. Procure and organize the distribution of food, materials, and supplies to Kindergarten, Primary 1, Primary 2, and Primary 3 classrooms by September 30, 1986. Complete pre-test and post-test procedures at all grade levels by May 30, 1987. -69- .1 ll 3. Responsibility 1 4. -Il 5. Under the direction of the Manager of Support Services and the Director of Food Service, the Coordinator of Nutrition Education will be responsible for this plan. Evaluation a. b. c. Cost The State Department of Education requires a financial audit of grant funds. The Nutrition Education Coordinator will conduct pre-tests and post-test evaluations of randomly-selected students to measure knowledge gained through program participation. At the end of the school year, teachers will be surveyed to evaluate curriculum and program organization. Grant and coordinator's salary is $26,214. (This amount is included in Program Operation Cost in a preceding problem.) I I I -70- i 4 ri I PROBLEM NUMBER FOUR S The computer system currently makes no provision for the addition of test scores (standardized or other) into the student database. A. B. Proposed Solution The computer system should be able to capture and manipulate student test scores for both standardized tests and District-wide tests for all District students. Analysis The addition of standardized and District test scores would make it possible to produce statistics and studies of student perform-ance without the current investment in staff time. Also, the addition of these scores to the student record would become a part of the student's historical record, which could be used for longitudinal studies. The District is currently considering an in-depth evaluation of each child for placement in the gifted program. Specific computer assistance will be required in order to effectively utilize standardized test scores as a component of this evaluation and to be complete the evaluation in a timely manner for student placement. C. Operational Plan 1. 2. 3. Objective To add the ability to capture and manipulate student test scores to the District's computer system by June, 1987. Implementation Strategy During the 1985-86 school year, an analysis of the requirements for effective use of such test scores and the best method for collecting the scores will be performed. Appropriate procedures and computer programs will be developed and tested using the results of standardized tests given to students during the 1984-85 and the 1985-86 school years.

A recent cover story in Time states that \"...each year more than a million American II II teenagers will become pregnant... some 30,000 of them under age 15. Arkansas leads the nation in the number of teenage pregnancies, and many of these occur in Pulaski County. Clearly the problem of alcohol and drug abuse and the problem of teenage pregnancy must be addressed more effectively than we have been able to do thus far. A. Proposed Solution The Little Rock School District will provide instruction on drug, alcohol, and sex education in grades 4-9. B.

Presently, teachers have a heavy burden grading tests. There is a need to give some type of district-wide standardized tests that assures uniformity in teaching and learning without placing an additional burden on the teachers. A. Proposed Solution B. C.  I It is recommended that the District develop a bank of test questions for each of the subject areas taught. These test questions will be stored in the District's mainframe computer. When it is necessary to give quarterly, semester, and year-end tests, such tests could be generated by requesting from the computer a certain number of test questions which are selected from the storage bank. This procedure would allow uniform expectations of teaching and learning. Analysis Although the curriculum that is used in the District is uniform, it is necessary to develop a uniform level of expectation for subject material that is mastered by students. By developing a computerized testing program where tests can be generated from the computer from a \"bank\" of questions, testing for uniform knowledge is possible. It is also possible to develop an answer sheet that can be graded by using scanning procedures. By developing such a procedure, the District can make its expectation level more uniform and aid the teachers in their areas of responsibility. replace essay tests. Operational Plan 1. 2. Objective This system cannot and should not, however. It will be used only for objective tests. To develop a system where the computer can store, select, and print computer tests for all subject areas taught in the District. The objective is to develop a system that will grade the tests. The purpose of developing this system is to make uniform our expectations of students in all subject areas. Implementation Strategy The District will begin this process in the 1986-87 school year by making sure the instructional objectives for each subject area are updated, and the plan for developing the computerization will begin in 1986-87. In 1987-88, it is planned that the areas of English, mathematic, science, and 1 -82- 1 1 iS  social studies at the junior high level will be completed. In the 1988-89 school year, all other courses at the junior high level will be included. During the 1986-87 and 1988-89 school year, the process of writing test questions and including them in the computer will take place for all subjects at the senior high level. It is planned that by the 1989-90 school year, this process can be used for all subjects in grades 7-12. I A 3.

Cost Staff Time  1 I -83- I rI PROBLEM NUMBER SIX For several years, the junior high school has suffered from an identity crisis that remains somewhat unresolved. Some educators believe the junior highs should be abolished and replaced with middle 4 schools. Others believe the existing junior high structure, with a different program, would best meet the needs of early adolescents. There are some indications that young adolescents of today are maturing faster than they used to and that the typical six-three-three grade pattern no longer works well for today's students. Other concerns are that junior high schools too often are simply miniature versions of high school (complete with emphasis on subject matter mastery) with little regard for growth characteristics and special needs of early adolescents. All of these concerns point to the need for reviewing the total junior high program. In addition to these concerns, the Arkansas standards will require that several courses be offered at the seventh and eighth grade levels which are not now required by the Little Rock School District. The present six-period day will make it difficult if not impossible to provide all the required courses, to students. Many electives will be unavailable I A. B. Proposed Solution Appoint a task force to review the total junior high program and make recommendations to the Superintendent regarding curriculum, scheduling, staffing, and extracurricular activities. Analysis J Besides apparent differences that exist between District offerings and state requirements, there are some obvious concerns with the overall effectiveness of the junior high program. Attention needs to be given to such issues as cognitive development of early adolescents, learning styles, physical and social maturation. 11 teacher qualities\" most needed by those who instruct junior high youngsters, appropriate extracurricular I activities, and guidance and counseling needs. The scheduling of classes should be reviewed to determine if a different system of instructional delivery might be more appropriate for the junior highy school. Other issues include the opportunity to develop I learning and study skills under the direction of trained personnel, the opportunity to explore career interests, and the need to establish programs in drug, alcohol, and sex education for junior high youngsters. -84- I I C.

The costs for redesigning the junior high program will be developed in the report of the Task Force to the Superintendent. -85-PROBLEM NUMBER SEVEN Many students in our District would like to have the opportunity to take additional courses beyond what is available to them within a six-period day. Additionally, the new standards will require that new courses be added to the curriculum. Some of these courses will be required. This is a special problem for the junior high program. : 1 A. Proposed Solution Provide an extended school day for junior and senior high school students so that they will be able to take additional courses and thus receive a more comprehensive education than would otherwise be possible. B. Analysis i1 It will be difficult, if not impossible, to offer all the required courses necessary to meet the standards within the current six-period day. While consideration has been given to a seven-period day, such a decision would mean shortening class periods and thus reducing individual teacher-student interaction within a given class. At the same time, many students would like the opportunity to take additional courses beyond those required for graduation. From a cost perspective, it would be difficult if not impossible to employ teachers to teach an additional hour. A method for extension of the school day that is cost effective is needed. 1 C.

I I I I E -89- I 9 I I PROBLEM NUMBER NINE The District has provided a comprehensive staff development program for its staff members for several years, but it has been unevenly utilized. Some administrators and teachers avail themselves of every possible opportunity to upgrade their skills and learn more about effective educational practices. Others are either reluctant participants or choose not to participate at all. One of the concerns regarding staff development is how to get employees oriented to the philosophy and program of the District while at the same time not adversely impacting on instruction time for 4 students. There are disadvantages to programs which operate only after hours, on the weekends, and during the summer, but clearly, the impact of removing teachers from their duties in the classroom in order to receive inservice instruction training must be carefully assessed. At the same time, if a mediocre teacher's performance can 4 improve as a result of participation in a program during the school day, that too must be considered. During the 1984-85 school year, at least two schools whose teachers were out for seven half-days to participate in PET showed gains in achievement on the SRA test. 4 Another concern has to do with providing training opportunities for administrators and support personnel and for providing school-based staff development programs. Without appropriate leadership from principals, it is unlikely that any lasting change will occur in the instructional practices of teachers. At the same time, unless principals receive the training they need, they can hardly be expected to emerge as instructional leaders of their schools. Further, specially trained teachers have unique needs that are not always appropriately addressed by the District's staff development model. A. B. Proposed Solution Establish a staff development program for all District employees and Board members which will provide systematic training in issues and concerns vital to the District and which will enhance the ability of the identified groups to carry out their responsibilities more effectively. Analysis 1. Effective June 1, 1987, the State Department of Education will require that each district develop and implement a plan for professional staff development and inservice training for school board members, school and district administrators, teachers, and support staff on a continuing and regular basis throughout the year. -90- -I.  1: C. 2.

I 11 ii J I J 9 'I * PROBLEM NUMBER TEN In order to avoid the emphasis that is being placed on minimum competencies as being an acceptable level of work for all students, it is necessary to try to develop an attitude or atmosphere for learning that accepts the best a student can do as the minimum level of performance. A. B. Proposed Solution In order to try to create an atmosphere for learning and achievement, the District will develop a series of steps to promote learning for the sake of learning without any differentiation through the use of grades. Those steps will be listed below. The District will expand the opportunities for students to learn by developing an academic summer school program. This will be a \"set\" program that will become an automatic part of the summer school offerings each summer. Admission to the classes that are offered will be open to any student who wishes to pursue the subjects that are taught. The District will develop a lecture series. The lecture series will be developed for the purpose of exposing students in the Little Rock School District to some of the nation's politicians, academicians, and newsmakers. The District will consider developing the use of a voluntary scholar's test. The purpose of the test, which will be voluntary, would be to give students the opportunity to know to what degree they have mastered academic material. No differentiation will be made on any diploma. Analysis For the past several years the Little Rock School District has worked hard to improve the basic skills of its students. While the basic skills have improved, the District has not developed an attitude that indicates that learning for the sake of learning is important. The above steps are proposed in order to try and create the idea that not only can all students learn but that developing ones own talent and interests can be done in various ways. The academic summer school is proposed in order to try to expand the opportunities for students to take interesting and challenging classes. The lecture program is proposed in order to give students the opportunity to be exposed to national figures in various areas. The scholars test is proposed in order to try to give students an opportunity to self-evaluate their academic development. -93- 1 i ____3-t C. Operational Plan 1. 2. Objective The objective is to develop and instill an idea of academic performance in the students in each of the buildings in the Little Rock School District. By using these activities, the importance of academics can be emphasized without additional emphasis on grading and acceptance into programs based on prior performance. Implementation Strategy .JH 1! 3. 4. 5. 1 It is proposed that implementation of the proposed plan be completed by the fall of 1986, with the exception of the scholars test. It is anticipated that the scholars test will be available for all students at the end of the 1987-88 school year. Responsibility Responsibility for the program will be shared by the associates superintendents. Evaluation I Evaluation of this program will be measured by the participation in the academic summer school program, attendance at the lecture series, and by the number of students who take the scholar's test. The success of the academic coaches will be measured by an analysis of whether or not that position has had an impact on improved academic participation and performance of the students. Cost Funding for the summer school program will be by tuition. Funding for the lecture series will be sought from private donations. Costs for the tests will be determined later. depending upon what tests are used. -94- II } I i I il Hi I I I rt 5 1 I I I I ,'1 w ' 3 1 ADMINISTRATION 1986-87 -95- II (I i! 4' PROBLEM NUMBER ONE By 1990, the Little Rock School District will have to extend the number of student attendance days from 175 to 179. With the increased cost of utilities, it is necessary for the District to use as many as possible of the \"low energy consumption days\" for student attendance. Recently, the Arkansas General Assembly passed legislation, which was later modified, that emphasized the importance of schools scheduling student attendance days to begin after Labor Day of each year. Temperatures increase significantly after Memorial Day\ntherefore, it is necessary for the Little Rock School District to use as many of the days available between Labor Day and Memorial Day as possible since these are usually lower energy consumption days. A. B. C. Proposed Solution It is recommended that the Board direct the administration to negotiate a change in the manner in which the District has dismissed school for the Arkansas Education Association Convention and to study the alternatives for changing the use of spring vacation during the 1987-88 school year. Analysis ihe District has tried various energy management plans in the past. Some have been more successful than others. The District will again have to become more energy-conscious as a result of the Grand Gulf settlement and anticipated increases in the price of natural gas. This matter is further complicated by the requirement of the new state standards to increase the number of student days from 175 to 179. between Labor Day and Memorial Day. There are a given number of days Unless more days between those two dates are used for student attendance, school days will have to be used either prior to Labor Day or after Memorial Day to a greater degree than they are now used. This not only reduces the effectiveness of teaching because of the heat but also increases utility costs. Operational Plan 1. 2. Objective To better utilize the dates that are available between Labor Day and Memorial Day for student instruction by reducing the days when students are dismissed for other activities. Implementation Strategy To ask the Board of Directors to direct the administration to change the practice of dismissing school two days for the AEA convention. To examine the possibility in future years I' I I i I I E -96- 19 fl of better utilizing the days now used for spring vacation and/or Christmas vacation. 1 3.

Cost None I 1 -97-9 Bl PROBLEM NUMBER TWO Despite the District's efforts to remediate students who are placed in remedial or \"low\" sections of a subject, too many students are still allowed to remain in a \"lower track.\" A. Proposed Solution I i Beginning in the 1986-87 school year, no student will be promoted beyond the sixth grade who has not been evaluated in a manner that indicates that he/she has the ability to be successful in the seventh grade. I Beginning with the 1987-88 school year, the Little Rock School District will have only two levels of required classes: regular and honors. The classes that are separated because of content level such as Algebra I, Algebra II, or Geometry, will remain. In the 1988-89 school year this requirement will be moved to the eighth grade. I In the 1989-90 school year, it will be moved to the ninth grade and on through the succeeding years until it includes the twelfth grade. p d B. Analysis There is a need to educate all students to a level of competence that enables them to be successful once they get out of high school. Presently, too many students are not required to master a minimal level of knowledge that will enable them to be successful in ensuing years. By phasing out the present levels that place students in different groups, we will ensure that all students have at least a minimal level of knowledge. Remedial programs will need to be developed other than summer school. These remedial programs can only be developed, however, with additional funds. Nonetheless, it is best to set the requirement and the expectations of all students rather than allow the number of students who presently go through school performing at such a low level. C. Operational Plan 1. Objective 1 To ensure that all students achieve a minimum amount of knowledge in a subject. 2. Implementation Strategy 1'! It is recommended that this procedure be phased in in order to prevent any additional hardships to those students who have already reached the junior high level or grades above junior high without having mastered the minimum requirements. Again, remedial programs should be established to help teach students and will be done if money is available. -98-a 1 1 II 3. Responsibility The responsibility for this effort will be that of the two Associate Superintendents. 4. Evaluation I, i I? 5. The success of this proposal will be measured by the elimination of the present grouping patterns and the increase in the number of students who master the minimum skills. Cost None 1 11 1 I 1 I -99-9 PROBLEM NUMBER THREE At the high school level, students are assigned by the computer to certain classes. The computer is not able to anticipate the fact that students have had teachers in previous years and failed the class or identify situations where learning and teaching styles don't match. The computer also is not able to know of personality conflicts between specific students and specific teachers. As a result, there are a i! large number of transfer requests early in each semester. In addition, there are a large number of students who have difficult semesters or difficult years because of the teacher to whom the student was assigned. ' I I I A. Proposed Solution I i ' B. 1 C. It is recommended that at least one of the high schools voluntarily accept on a trial basis the responsibility for developing a system where students are allowed to select their teachers and the period they want to take the particular class. Analysis It is necessary to try to adopt a plan that accommodates students in not only selecting a class, but also selecting the hour in which it is taught and the teacher they would like to have as an instructor. Student-teacher conflicts can be reduced and schedule changes can be substantially reduced. The most common concern that has been expressed about this idea is that students are not able to select teachers for themselves that are in their best interests because they will select the teachers who are the II easiest.\" Principals who have been involved in this type of scheduling, however, indicate that this is not so and are in favor of this process. By trying this on an experimental basis in one of our high schools, we can determine the degree to which it is successful and whether or not it should be continued and expanded to include the other high schools. Operational Plan 1. Objective To develop a scheduling system which allows the students to select not only their subjects but the hours in which the subjects are taught and the teacher that will be teaching the particular classes. I I 2. Implementation Strategy During the 1986-87 school year, high school principals will be questioned about their willingness to volunteer in such a project. After a high school has been selected, the scheduling process will be started for the spring of 1987 and will take effect in the fall of 1988. -100-9 I 3 3 2 3. Responsibility Responsibility for this project will be under the direction of the Associate Superintendent in charge of administration and the principal of the high school that is to participate. 4.

A. Proposed Solution To develop an interview handbook for the selection of certified personnel. B. Analysis The development of an interview handbook for the selection of certified personnel will provide assistance in the interviewing, evaluating, and selection of certified personnel. The handbook will also provide for some standardization in the selection of teaching personnel when a number of people are involved in the interviewing and selection process. I i I C. Operational Plan 1.

Implementation Strategy I a. b. The selection of a committee to assist the Personnel Director in the development of the handbook by May 1, 1986. p Instructional Supervisors and Principals will be trained in the use of the handbook by June, 1986. i I i I h  3. Responsibility The Director of Personnel, under the direction of the proper Associate Superintendent, will be responsible for developing the handbook and its implementation. 4.

Cost Printing and binding $ 1.000 -102-p.-iT PROBLEM NUMBER FIVE A problem exists in finding an adequate method of preparing first-year teachers to teach in the Little Rock School District.  I' i  S-l Each year the Little Rock School District spends a substantial amount of funds to pay for substitute teachers. During the 1984-85 school year, the District spent in excess of $700,000 for substitute teachers. In addition to the amount of money spent on substitute teachers, the quality of instruction provided by substitutes is substantially below the level of instruction provided by the regular classroom teacher. It is becoming increasingly difficult to attract competent young professionals to the teaching staff and keep classroom teachers in the classroom. A. Proposed Solution To address the problems stated above, it is recommended tht the District institute a \"differentiated staffing\" plan. B. Analysis There is a need to provide training for first year teachers in the Little Rock School District, to provide an available source of competent substitute teachers, and to develop a means of providing a career ladder or some way of keeping professional teachers in the classroom. The differentiated staffing plan would incorporate three basic ingredients, include an entry level group of teachers. The first would These individuals would be employed in the \"training\" part of the program. Although all individuals would be college graduates, they will be assigned to work and be supervised by a \"master teacher.\" They will receive additional training in the areas designated by the District such as the Program for Effective Teaching, etc. and will serve as substitute teachers. II It is hoped that this pool of training\" staff will provide the source from which we will employ regular classroom teachers for the following year. The second level is the level of regular classroom teacher, is the same level that the District presently employs and the responsibilities will be the same. This ihe third level would be called the \"career\" category. After a given number of years of satisfactory performance, a regular classroom teacher would be eligible to be placed at the II level. career\" 1 i! The \"career\" level teachers would not only be placed on a different salary schedule, but they would form the nucleus from which department chairmen, master teachers, and course instructors would be chosen. The individuals at the II career\" level would be eligible for extra work during the summer to work on curriculum and instruction, performance based. All promotions would be -103- 7 C. Operational Plan 1. Objective The objective is to provide the District with a source from which it can draw first-year teachers who are well-prepared to go into the classroom, a reliable source of substitute teachers who are more competent than those from which we draw at the present time, and an incentive plan that will recognize, encourage, and reward career teachers in the Little Rock School District. 2. Implementation Strategy It will not Implementation will begin in the fall of 1986. be possible for us to employ all of the first-year teachers that will be needed in the fall of 1986 and create a pool of \"training\" teachers. We will attempt to begin hiring the \"extra\" staff members and developing a pool. The District will seek grants and other means of trying to establish the training pool. t I During the 1986-87 school year, the District will attempt to develop the complete career ladder process with the appropriate levels and appropriate evaluation instrument being developed. Full implementation is planned for the fall of 1987. I 3. Responsibility r The ultimate responsibility will be under the direction of the Superintendent of Schools with specific parts of the program being assigned to the Associate Superintendents, the Manager of Support Services, and the Director of Personnel. 4. Evaluation I I i The success of this plan will be dependent upon its implementation and the degree to which the quality of instruction from first-year teachers and substitute teachers I is improved. Evaluation of the career ladder element of the plan will be through staff surveys. I 5. Cost I 1 The cost is dependent upon the number of teachers that can be hired at an approximate cost of $15,700 per new teacher, including fringe benefits. I I I 1 I -104-7 PROBLEM NUMBER SIX The need exists within the Little Rock School District to eliminate pre-school registration for students who are attending the same schools as the previous year. It would be the goal of this system to reduce the number of days of registration and the manpower used in filling out registration forms. It will, however, be necessary for students new to the District and new to the school to pre-register. A. Proposed Solution Have only two days of registration. The pupil data forms will be entered into a computer and these students placed on a printout. The school would need to send any changes to the Pupil Accounting Office on a change form. B. Analysis Through computerization of our registration process, the office personnel will be able to plan more efficiently and effectively for the upcoming school year. Also, fewer days will be necessary for registration. i I' C. Operational Plan 1. Objective 2. 3. All children attending the same school in the LRSD will be able to attend school without pre-registering. Implementation Strategy a. b.

A?!.\nS'  1owl SiDxcik IPTA Cfflsmcnll RECEIVED FEB 2 4 1995 February 20.1995 Olfice of Desegregation Monitoring Dear Dr. Williams and Little Rock School District Board of Directors: The Little Rock PTA Council is gravely concerned about the administrations proposed budget cuts pertaining to the school nurses. The decision to eliminate 19 registered nurses is quite shocking in view of the 1994-95 Little Rock School Board Priorities compiled just last September, 1994, in which Quality Nursing Services ranked third highest in priority. The PTA Council feels that the level and quality of nursing health care and services received by ail students would be greatly diminished under this proposal and in the area schools would be virtually non-existent. Although it appears that most magnet and incentive schools would retain their school nurse positions, in reality these nurses probably would frequently be pulled to work at other schools that have no nurses. Consequently, the PTA Council feels that, ultimately, our schools are at risk of losing the professional health care and services currently rendered to our children by the school registered nurses. The PTA Council is also extremely concerned about possible future plans to consider replacing the RNs (registered nurses) with LPNs (licensed practical nurses) and/or health aides. The knowledge and skills base of a registered nurse is significantly more appropriate in the school based setting in comparison to a licensed practical nurse. Neither an LPN nor a health aide possesses the specialized skills, judgment or knowledge necessary in providing the types of nursing care and services needed in our schools for our children. No parent wants his child to suffer the consequences or risks of mismanaged care given by inadequately trained personnel. During the process of identifying student health needs and intervening however necessary to meet those needs, school nurses provide innumerable types of professional services. In many cases, registered nurses are the only persons legally authorized under state public health regulations to complete the myriad of referral and evaluation forms for students needing special services. Consequently, the PTA Council feels that replacing RNs with LPNs and/or health aides would be comparable, theoretically, to replacing our classroom teachers with instructional aides. Many parents are greatly concerned about the continued assurance of basic nursing services received daily by their children such as administering medications and making pertinent observations, giving specific medical treatments, providing mental health observation and intervention, and providing observation and care for acute and chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, and head or other traumatic injuries. Every student has the right to a physically safe and emotionally secure environment in our schools, but will this right be severely compromised or. at worst, denied under this proposal? It must be noted that children in the lower socio-economic strata of our student population will undoubtedly stand to suffer greatly under this plan, because the school nurse is their only source of medical care for their health needs. The number of children in this category ranges from 100 to 150 per day. Currently, there are 1260 students in the LRSD served each day for acute illnesses and injuries, and over 1200 individual doses of medication are given daily. School nurses serve an extremely important function as health educators and advocates. As positive role models in developing permanent healthy lifestyles, they promote good health habits and illness prevention, carry out many health education programs, and work closely with students, parents and teachers regarding special health needs. Oftentimes the school nurse is the first and foremost person in whom a student will confide concerning personal problems and needs. Therefore, the nurses play a key role in providing support and intervention and handling the daily crises that arise. Therefore, the PTA Council strongly holds that in order for students to function at their highest learning ability and to have a successful educational experience, they must have access to the health services and education necessary to promote optimal levels of wellness. The PTA Council firmly takes the stand for maintaining health services as they are presently delivered and preserving the school nurse positions that we currently have. Thirty schools are covered daily with nurses while twenty schools are not covered\ntherefore, it would appear that the LRSD should consider adding school nurse positions rather than eliminating them. We also feel strongly that budget cuts should be made further away from the children, because school nurses directly serve 100% of the students in our district. At the last PTA Council meeting the members voted to make known to the LRSD Administration and the School Board of Directors our position on the proposed budget cuts affecting school nurses. Attached is a list of those members in attendance and the schools they represent. These individuals represent more than 13,000 PTA members in the LRSD. At a time when we are striving for safe schools. this situation certainly acquires a chilling perspective if we are to lose our school nurses and. as parents, suddenly feel that our children are truly in an unsafe environment. The Little Rock PTA Council sincerely hopes that you will give strong consideration to our viewpoints regarding this issue and will not make any changes in the current school nurse program in the proposed budget cuts.

Margie Puckett, the principal, said none of the parents complained to her and that Pritz told her Tuesday afternoon the matter seemed to be resolved. But Joni Felkins and Gayla Mathis, two of the parents, said nothing has been resolved. They said they would meet with Puckett and Pritz today and go to the school board with their attorney if necessary. Four of Fritzs students said -ar Tuesday night that the teacher assigned as homework the task of enrolling their parents in the PTA and bringing the $2 annual membership back to school today. She said if you dont bring the money back, dont come back to school, said Patches Hedemark, 11, a student in the class and Felkins daughter. I did assign it as homework, Pritz said.

The students said Pritz threat-' ened to take away recess and write their names on the board if they didnt bring the membership' money.

Patches said two checkmarks prompts a parent-teacher conference and a third one leads to the long form, or a behavior notice. TH* T r .-.H, \u0026lt; nFMDCRAT-GAZETTE  WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3.1992  PTA urges parents schools to interact Scripps Howard News Service The national Parent . Teacher Association on Tues-, day called for more parentschool interaction to improve education. Its ideas for getting parents more involved in schools:  Principals and teachers should visit parents homes and set up brown bag lunch meetings at work sites.  School buildings should  open earlier and close later to accommodate students and\nparents.  Schools should invite par- ents to curriculum workshops that explain what they're doing and why and offer classes for adults on the ABCs of raising children. The national PTA said these suggestion.s came out of a workshop it held in Wisconsin in April for education advocates and business and civil rights leaders. PTA President Pat Henpf told a news conference in Washington Tuesday that inad- . equate financing of education has resulted in mixed messages and a very confused group of parents out there. But she said schools can do a lot to improve the situation by taking simple steps to get parents more interested and involved in what their children do in class. I do not see the parent involvement effort taking a lot of financial resources as much as ' deep-seated commitment to make it happen, she said. Keith Geiger, president ol the National Education Association, the nations largest teachers union, said Tuesday needed but more support for schools is. The kind of support and involvement Im talking about isnt necessarily financial, he said. Lillian Brinkley, president of the National Association ol Elementary School Principals and principal at the Willard Model School in Norfolk, Va., said Tuesday social and economic realities make the parent-teacher partnership essential. Never, during my 30 years as an educator, has there been a more urgent need for families and schools to help each other, she said. Kent Allison, vice president at Scholastic Inc., a major texb book publisher, said the business community understands that the growth of technology now requires a keenly educated workforce. He called for the federal government to provide money for every child eligible for Head Start and other early intervention programs that improve a childs chances for success. complete overhaul of the public school system is not aOUR CHILDREN ARE THE WORLD What: LR PTA Founders Day Luncheon When: February 11,1997 Where: Pulaski Heights United Methodist Christian Life Center at Woodlawn and Monroe Streets Time: 11:30a.m. to 1:00p.m. Cost: $ 10 per person before Jan. 31 $ 15 per -^person at the door Send payment to: Cathy Drilling, Treasurer 226 Markwood Little Rock, AR 72205 Tickets will be sent through the school mail.

Steele, Superintendent of Schools Purchasing Policy for First Reading The attached policy presents the first and most important sections of the new purchasing policy, which will consist of a total of 10 sections when finished. The remaining sections will be completed for the July Agenda meeting. Although the procedures have been in place, the development of the formal governing policies to replace the rather ambiguous and confusing 1981 policies have evolved slowly due decision-making level. to several changes in administrators at the As part of the overall policy review, and because of current personnel turnover, we are making a major effort to complete this rather complex change prior to the start of the coming school year. The overall concept is to replace several random policies with one comprehensive document that reaffirms the authority and responsibility assigned to the central purchasing office, while realigning the manner in wiiich the policy and the implementing regulations are presented to conform to the format of the procurement code model developed by the American Bar Association. Converting the District purchasing to a system patterned after the Model Procurement Code (MPC) has been an objective of the District for a long time. This process was first presented to the Board in February of 1989. (See enclosed transmittal memorandum dated February 13, 1989) Also enclosed is a brief introduction to the MPC, which will give you an idea of what is involved. The entire document will consist of 10 sections. The Model Procurement Code contains 12 articles, but for our purposes all appropriate provisions can be combined into 10 sub-headings or sections. The first two are key in that they establish the authority and the level- of responsibility which will prevail throughout the full procurement process. The provisions covered have been carefully cross-referenced against all current federal and state laws and regulations to ensure conformity. Enclosed also are copies of selected laws and policies that should assist you in your review. I recommend that you approve for first reading the enclosed new initial policy.

The Model Procurement Ordinance is essentially a condensation of the ABA Model Procurement Code I for State and Local Governments, tailored for consideration and use by smaller units of local government. The Model Procurement Ordinance was drafted by the American Bar Association Coordinating Committee on a Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments, a joint committee of the ABA Section of Public Contract Law and the ABA Section of Urban, State, and Local Government Law. The Ordinance was developed by the Coordinating Committee with the active cooperation and financial support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To help ensure that the Model Procurement Ordinance would be practical for use by small local jurisdictions, the Coordinating Committee established a Purchasing Officials Review Group whose members were appointed by the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), a key member of the Coordinating Committee's Advisory Board. NIGP, and many of its members, had actively participated in the drafting and review of the ABA Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments and the Code's Recommended Regulations. f- Procurement Under Federal Assistance and Certification I Attachment O to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-102 (Uniform Ad- ministrative Requirements for Grants-In-Aid to States and Local Governments\nProcurement Standards) sets forth procurement standards that govern public purchases made by states and local governments using most federzil assistance funds. The Model Procurement Ordinance is designed to provide a small local government with a sound, workable, and consolidated public purchasing idards. Although the Ordinance was developed with the system that meets those federal assistance of EPA, it is also aa^ \u0026gt;le to procurements made using federal funds awarded under grants or cooperative agreements from other federal agencies. Pursuant to Attachment O, many of the major federal grantor agencies have established programs for the certification of the procurement systems used by their state and local government grantees. Since the Model Procurement Ordinance was designed to meet Attachment O standards, it should be an especially helphJ tool to those units of local government that choose to participate in such procurement system certification programs. Drafting Concepts The ABA Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments has proven readily useful to a jurisdiction with a large procurement responsibility and a substantial procurement organization available to manage the public purchasing function. It could be readily adapted for use by most states, major cities, large urban counties, and other large public entities. The Code's adaptation for use by smaller public bodies, however, proved to require substantial modification. To meet this challenge, the Coordinating Committee undertook the drafting of the Model Procurement Ordinance for Local Governments. The Ordinance is tailored to the more limited procurement responsibilities and limited administrative resources available to most local governments. At the same time, the fundamental principles of good procurement and ethical standards set forth in the Code have been retained, but appear in a \"streamlined\" form. The Ordinance is designed for consideration by small cities and counties, towns, townships, and other small public bodies exercising a public purchasing responsibility. viiAN OVERVIEW OF THE ORDINANCE General Provisions Article 1 states the general purposes of the Ordiriance, and contains definitions of terms used in the Ordirumce.  1 Office of the Purchasing Agent Article 2 suggests the basic organizational structure for managing and conducting public purchasing on a centralized basis. At the same time, the Article gives clear recognition to the benefits of specific delegations of appropriate authority to other professionals available within the local government. Source Selection and Contract Formation Article 3 establishes competitive sealed bidding as the preferred method of contracting, but also authorizes the use of other source selection methods in appropriate, specified situations. The other source selection methods are competitive sealed proposals, a competitive selection procedure for designated types of professional services, simplified procedures for making small purchases, and strict requirements relating to sole source procurements and emergency procurements. The Article states the requirements for contracting by each method. Contracts not awarded by competitive sealed bidding generally require a written justification, which becomes a matter of public record. The Article also provides for cancellation of solicitations, the correction or withdrawal of bids, and the cancellation of awards. The Article provides for determinations relating to the responsibility of prospective contractors, and provides authority to require bid and performance bonds. It also requires the submission of cost or pricing data, and conducting of a price analysis or a cost analysis, for contracts awarded without adequate price competition and for contract price adjustments. The Article authorizes the use of the type of contract most appropriate to the procurement, although it retains a preference for fixed-price contracts and prohibits cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost contracts. It also permits, and regulates, the use of both multi-year contracts and the technique of multiple source contracting. Finally, Article 3 also specifies requirements for effective contract administration, and for the reporting of anticompetitive practices. 5 1 ! ! I ! I 5 I I I ! Specifications Article 4 requires that specifications be written in a manner that maximizes competition. In particular, it regulates the use of brand name specifications to encourage competition. Procurement of Construction, Architect-Engineer and Land Surveying Services Article 5 covers special aspects of coristruction procurement, including the selection of the appropriate method of construction management, and the use of bid, performance and payment bonds. It also provides a procediue for the competitive award of contracts for architect-engineer and land surveying services in lieu of techniques provided in Article 3. Debarment or Suspension Article 6 contains procedures for making debarment or suspension determinations. 'i it ix I I rI' i I' The Model Procurement Ordinance, like the ABA Model Procurement Code from which it is derived, was developed as a ' mode!' rather than a \"uniform\" legislative proposal in recognition of the substanKal differences among local governments in terms of both governmental orgrini: hon and legal authority to prescribe their own procurement systems. Therefore, the focus of the Model Procurement Ordinance is on the policies and procedures necessary for a modem and cost-effective public purchasing system that is fair and open to public scrutiny. 'The Cnordinating Committee ere courages thoughtful modification to meet local needs, but calls to the attention of those responsible for adapting the Model Procurement Ordinance the process through which its recommendations were developed. Drafting and Review Process The Model Procurement Ordinance for Local Governments was developed during a drafting and review process that spanned more th^ two years. In addition, the Ordinance, as a condensation of the ABA Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments, had the benefit of the five years of effort that went into drafting the Code and its Recommended Regulations. The initial draft of the proposed Model Procurement Ordinance was prepared by the ABA Model Procurement Code Project staff, under the general guidance of the Coordinating Committee on a Model Procurement Code. Working with Project volunteers and EPA's Task Force on the Model Procurement Ordinance, the proposed Ordinance was refined during the preparation of three internal review drafts. Following a line-by-line review of the last internal review draft, undertaken in conjunction with the EPA Task Force, the Coordinating Committee issued a Public Review Draft of the proposed Model Procurement Ordinance in August of 1981. Almost 3,000 copies of the Public Review Draft were circulated. Comments were actively solicited until the close of the comment period in March of 1982. The Purchasing Officials Review Group and the Coordinating Committee then conducted a line-by-line review of the Public Review Draft in light of the comments received. Following further discussion, a Coordinating Committee's Final Draft was presented to the governing Councils of the cosponsoring ABA Sections in May 1982. Following Council review over the next several months, final approval action on the text of the Model Procurement Ordinance was taken in August during the 1982 Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association. I I I 8 i Drafting Mechanics Commentary has been occasionally inserted to explain the purpose of a particular provision, to provide further amplification of its meaning, or to demonstrate its application in the context of a particular procurement situation. In addition. Commentary may indicate where adjustments may be needed to make a particular provision conform to existing law or regulations. The Ordinance also includes several 'Editorial Notes,\" which provide addibonal assistance to those adapting the Ordinance for use by a particular jurisdiction. Experience indicates that most jurisdictions will not include the Commentary or the Editorial Notes in their ordinances. Bracketed material [ ) indicates matters needing particular attention during the drafting of an ordinance based on the Model Procurement Ordinance. Brackets enclosing a blank require the insertion of language appropriate to that jurisdiction for such things as dollar and time limitations, position descriptions, or references to ^lecific state laws. Suggested language in brackets indicates that the jurisdiction may want to make changes in light of its own experience and circumstances, or because other local requirements may be applicable. Two bracketed phrases appearing side by side usually indicate that one should be inserted and the other deleted. I' viiir' I Cost Principles fl I. Article 7 has been rcscr/cd. Should an enacting jurisdiction wish to iriclude in its ordinarice a comprehensive set of contract cost principles, the text of Chapter 7, Cost Principles, of the Recommended Regulations to the ABA Model fh-ocurement Code for State and Local Governments may be considered. Supply Management Article 8 has been reserved. Should an enacting jurisdiction wish to include in its ordinance the coverage of such topics as quality control, inventory management, excess property transfer, and the disposition of surplus property, the text of Chapter 8, Supply Management, of the Recommended Regulations to the ABA Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments may be considered. 5 Appeals and Remedies 1 Article 9 suggests mechanisms for the resolution of disputes arising from the solicitation and award of procurement contracts, bid protests, and contract performance claims. In addition, this Article provides procedures for handling contracts awarded in violation of law. ! Cooperative Purchasing I ! Article 10 has been reserved. Cooperative purchasing and joint-use arrangements among units of local government or with the state have proved to be cost-effective management tools. However, given the broad array of potential users of the Model Fh-ocurement Ordinance, and the various state law limitations on their authority to enter into such intergovernmental agreements, it was not possible to address effectively this important subject. Should an enacting jurisdiction be able to include in its ordinance coverage of agreements for cooperative purchasing and the joint use of equipment, faciEties and personnel, it may consider Article 10, Intergovernmental Relations, of the ABA Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments and Chapter 10 of the Code's Recommended Regulations. i I i Assistance to Small and Disadvantaged Businesses Article 11 has been reserved. Provisions to assist small and disadvantaged businesses, and other socio-economic programs implemented through the procurement process, could be inserted in this Article by the enacting jurisdiction. Ethics in Public Contracting Artide 12 contains ethical standards with accompanying sanctions that are appbcable to all participants in the pubEc procurement process. The proposed ethical standards cover conflicts of interest, gratuities and kickbacks, contingent fees, and misuse of confidential information. I'i APPENDIX The Appendix sets forth provisions which address the various socioeconomic and other federal public policy goals implemented through Attachment O (Procurement Standards) to OMB Circular A-102 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants-in-Aid to States and Local Governments). They have been included with the Model Procurement Ordinance as a convenience for any enacting jurisdiction that wants its pubEc purchasing system to address aU the current requirements of Attachment O. They do not constitute the recommendations of the American Bar Association, or of any of its Sections or Committees.
