RATIONALE: The North Little Rock School District will use a variety of methods to accomplish this goal. First, to comply with the order of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, this district will continue to recruit through the teacher education department of colleges and universities and other areas that may offer a source of minority applicants. Secondly, the district will make use of electronic advertisement services to include local, state, regional, and nationwide online advertisement services. Those services are designed to expand the applicant pool, which in turn should allow for more minority applicants to see and respond to job vacancy advertisements. Thus allowing more minority applicants to be recruited for certified vacancies. Thirdly, the school district has and will seek cooperative recruiting practices with the Arkansas Department of Education, the Pulaski County Special School District, and the Little Rock School District to aid in the inter-district programs. STAFF RECRUITMENT PLAN There is an emphasis and an awareness fostered by the local Board of Education and the Superintendent as to the need to actively recruit certified minority staff members for the North Little Rock School District. This need has been conveyed by the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent to district level administrators who in turn work with building level administrators to recruit and employ certified minority applicants. It is notable that the North Little Rock School District has hired more certified minority staff members in the last four years than in any other recent comparable time period. This is in part attributed to the emphasis of the local Board of Education and the Superintendent's emphasis on recruiting qualified minority candidates. Comparison of Certified New Hires by Race Year Black White Other Total New Hires % of Minority New Hires 2004-2005 8 73 0 81 % of Minority New Hires for 2004 - 2005 = 9% 2005-2006 6 109 1 116 % of Minority New Hires for 2005 - 2006 = 6% 2006-2007 19 85 4 108 % of Minority New Hires for 2006 - 2007 = 21 % 2007-2008 10 76 1 87 % of Minority New Hires for 2007 - 2008 = 13% 2008-2009 11 68 2 81 % of Minority New Hires for 2008 - 2009 = 16% 2009-2010 14 56 1 71 % of Minority New Hires for 2009 - 2010 = 21% 3 - Recruitment Budget The district examines the cost of staff recruitment and those activities that support staff recruitment on an annual basis. Administrative meetings occur between departments to determine recruitment needs. The needs in turn drive the requests for funding amounts. In the last four years the money which in the past was spent on hardcopy advertisement has been redirected to technology for internet-based job advertisement and on-line applicant tracking systems. Both of which have shown to be more beneficial for the recruitment of minority applicants than similar amounts of money spent on hardcopy advertisements in magazine, newspapers, and other hardcopy publications. The district budget for 2009-2010 staff recruitment activities currently totals $15,475.00, which is primarily spent for the service of internet-based job advertisement and applicant tracking services through Search Soft ($13,500.00 - a job advertisement and applicant tracking system). Additionally Teachers-Teachers.com is used to enhance minority recruitment as well as critical shortage area teacher recruitment. Teachers-Teachers.com is an internet-based job-posting site, which originally was funded by the Arkansas Department of Education. TeachersTeachers. com expenses are an additional $3950.00 - half-paid by the NLRSD and half-paid by the Arkansas Department of Education. The ADE decided to drop the total funding for Arkansas schools and is now paying onehalf the cost per participating school district. Notification of Vacancies Announcement of vacancies will follow policy CAI of the North Little Rock School District Personnel Policies Handbook. In consideration of the interests and aspiration of its teachers, the administration will give primary consideration to existing staff when filling vacancies. All qualified employees who request consideration for an existing vacancy will be interviewed. During the school year, announcements of vacancies or job openings in the areas of supervisor, administration, and teaching will be posted in the Central Administration Office Building, the district website, and in each school building in the district. In addition to the hardcopy flyers that are printed and posted throughout the district, certified vacancies are advertised on the North Little Rock School District website. Teachers-Teachers.com is sometimes utilized, as well as administrative vacancies being advertised on the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators website. The Arkansas Department of Education website for job advertisements for schools has been made available to Arkansas schools and is also used for some job advertisements. Interest Survey In the spring of each year an intent/interest form is required of each teacher and administrator in the district. One section of the interest/intent survey is to provide employees with the opportunity to list any areas of employment that they may be interested in pursuing. The district intent/interest survey form is attached. College and University Contacts Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff\nAR Henderson State University, Arkadelphia, AR Harding University Interviews, Searcy, AR Arkansas Department of Education Recruiting Fair, Little Rock, AR Harding University Career Fair, Searcy, AR University of Central Arkansas, Conway, AR University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR Arkansas Tech University, Russellville, AR 4 On the average thirty (30) to forty (40) contacts are made at each of the university visits. Approximately seventy-five (75) to one-hundred-fifty (150) contacts are made annually at the Arkansas Department of Education's Recruitment Fair. Campus recruitment was successful for the 2009-2010 school year with the hiring of thirty-one (31) recent graduates. Six (6) of those in the college recruiting group were/are black. In recent times some colleges and universities have implemented \"Master's of Arts in Teaching' (MAT) programs. Those programs make it possible for college graduates who hold a Bachelor's degree to enroll in the MAT program and become eligible for a provisional teacher's certificate while working on their Master's degree and standard certification. The North Little Rock School District also utilizes the Non-Traditional Licensure program (NTLP) which is offered by the Arkansas Department of Education. In the last two-years visits have been made to the NTLP classes and students recruited while attending NTLP classes. Additionaliy the ADE' s Additional License Plan Waiver Requests allows the district to employ teachers who are licensed but may need additional courses and/or testing to become fully certified in certain teaching and/or administrative areas. Community Activities There is continuing communication with the black community and black leaders. Leadership is provided by the district's black Board members, especially in the area of commitment as an equal opportunity employer. In the past the President of the Board of Education has made himself available to accompanied district personnel for the purpose of assisting with minority recruitment activities at an area college with plans to attend other similar activities. Professional Associations Placement services provided by professional associations for their members continue to be a method of recruitment. Organizations that the district contacted in an effort to recruit black employees were: Arkansas Association of Education Administrators and the Arkansas Association of School Personnel Administrators. The effectiveness of recruitment from these associations continues to be limited. Regional and National Conferences The American Association of School Personnel Administration conference was attended. One of the reasons for attending was to explore recruitment strategies for minority applicants. Recruitment Advertising Internet-based job advertisement, both on the local level and on the national level, is a primary method of recruiting. It has shown to be an effective method of recruitment advertising. Some hardcopy advertisement of jobs is used additionally. The primary publication used for hardcopy advertisement is the Arkansas DemocratGazette. Jobs are also advertised by hardcopy flyer posted in each school, and all certified vacancies are posted on the district website at www.nlrsd.kl2.ar.us. Vacancies are also advertised on the intranet using the district website and Teachers-Teachers.com in an attempt to expand the diversity of the applicant pool. The internet-based advertisement assists with recruiting for minority applicants on a more regional and national level than the traditional local and state level advertising, thus enhancing the pool of minority applicants. 5 Goals and Timetables The North Little Rock School District shall employ a staff that ensures that students at each school will have access to, and contact with, a diverse staff of licensed personnel through the development and implementation of non-discriminatory personnel policies on hiring, placement, and compensation. This goal and timetable will be considered to have been met when the percentage of minority staff is equal to twenty percent (20%,) of total employed staff. Other Minority Recruitment Efforts and Plans Adjustments to the plan for the coming year to enhance minority hiring: 1. The ability to put application information in the hands of building principals and other administrators in a timely manner through the use of internet-based application processes is advantageous in identifying and actively recruiting minority applicants. Plans are to continue the use of the Search Soft online applicant tracking system for the purpose of advertising vacancies, screening applications, and promptly allowing building principals to contact minority applicants. Internet-based advertising, recruiting, and prompt online contacts will continue to be used to aid in minority recruitment 2. The Office of Desegregation Monitoring's update on the status of the North Little Rock School District's implementation of its Desegregation Plan, dated June 6,' 2008, noted the following: \"It is still possible for students to attend some elementary school in the NLRSD and not have contact with a minority teacher. In 2007-2008 those schools were: Amboy, Boone Park, Seventh Street, North Heights, Crestwood, Park Hill, Pike View, Belwood, and Glenview.\" That being noted, Amboy, Boone Park, North Heights, and Glenview each have minority Principals. Additionally, as of October 14. 2009. each of the elementary schools noted in that same ODM report as not having a minority teacher now has at least one certified minority teacher on staff\nleaving Redwood Early Childhood Center as the only school in the district without a minority certified teacher. The appropriate supervisor(s) are aware of the circumstances and are taking actions to enhance minority representation at the identified schools. Plans to address the situations at the elementary level include: A. Use of on-line nationwide teacher recruitment services such as \"Teachers-Teachers.com.\" By expanding recruitment efforts with additional internet-based job advertisement programs it is hoped the pool of minority applicants for the North Little Rock School District will increase. B. Supplying administrators with enhanced on-line application information in order to enhance their ability to identify, contact, and recommend qualified minority applicants more quickly and efficiently. C. Raise awareness of financial incentives by making employees aware of state and federal loan forgiveness programs. D. Increase the use of the current \"discretionary funds'' for minority teachers as it applies to tuition reimbursement efforts of the District District policy CDI-TUITION REIMBURSEMENT FOR TEACHERS states that the Superintendent of Schools shall have the discretion ofusing not more three thousand six hundred fifty dollars ($3,650) for recruiting minority (new hires) in the application of the District Desegregation Plan. That being said, the Tuition Reimbursement Committee will be instructed on how to access the additional funds to assist minority teachers with tuition reimbursement. 3. During recent years the Arkansas Department of Higher Education made significant efforts to raise the awareness of opportunities for minority teachers and minority teacher candidates ofloan forgiveness and educational loan reimbursement opportunities. Efforts in turn have been made by the NLRSD to relay this information to teachers and minority teacher candidates. Information regarding how to access education loan and grant forgiveness / reimbursement programs is made available via emails to teachers in an effort to enhance the ability to retain minority teachers. 6 Improvements Needed to Enhance Minority Recruitment Over the past five years the North Little Rock Board of Education and Administration have made efforts to enhance certified salaries to be able to compete with surrounding school districts for minority candidates. It is through those efforts that currently, the beginning salaries for North Little Rock School District teachers are competitive with the Little Rock School District and the Pulaski County School District. However, school districts outside the Pulaski County area currently are generally able to offer higher beginning teacher salaries as compared to those districts in our immediate area. Thus creating a need to be ever mindful of directing funds, as they become available, to beginning teacher salaries. The goal being to enable the North Little Rock School District to attract beginning minority teachers and administrators. Along those same lines, efforts to enhance the employee fringe benefit package and the addition of district funded insurance coverages assist with making the North Little Rock School District more attractive to potential minority employees. Technologye nhancements with internet-basedj ob advertisementa nd applicant tracking has shown significant benefits with minority recruitment. The ability of the district to stay abreast of available technology and update software and hardware regularly is vital to improving minority recruitment. Funds for updating and upgrading available technologies will be sought out to enhance minority recruitment efforts. As funds are available, recruitment efforts to attend not only in-state job fairs and college education fairs should be continued, but additional funds for regional recruitment efforts to out of state institutions and colleges should be scheduled and attended. The ability to secure minority applicants expeditiously once they are identified should continue. Allowing district level human resource personnel to sign qualified minority applicants to letters of commitment contingent on Board approval should be continued indefinitely to facilitate increases in the number of certified minority employees. 7 ' NLRSD 09-10 Certified Staff by Race/Gender Asian Asian Black Black Hispanic Hispanic White White Grand Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Total Administrator 15.00 12.00 1.00 20.00 12.00 60.00 Teacher 3.00 1.00 94.00 17.00 6.00 560.42 85.00 766.42 TOTALS 3.00 1.00 109.00 29.00 6.00 1.00 580.42 97.00 826.42 Percentages 0.360/o 0.120/o 13.190/o 3.510/o 0.730/o 0.120/o 70.230/o 11.74% 1000/o Total Certified by Race Asian 4.00 0.48% Black 138.00 16.70% Hispanic 7.00 0.85% White 677.42 81.97% TOTAL 826.42 1000/o 2009-2010 Percentage of Minority Certified Staff = 18.03% 2009-2010 Percentage of Black Certified Staff= 16.7% The racial composition figures of the students of the North Little Rock School District as of October 1, 2009 are as follows: Black 57.7% White 34.6% Other 7.7% : It should be noted that there are a total of 40 building level administrators (Principals and Assistant Principals). Of the 40 building level administrators (rrinci12als and Assistant Princi12als}2 2 are minorities. At the elementary level, 7 out of 13 elementary Principals are minorities.

Superintendent, other administrators working together to identify, recruit, and hire quality applicants. #3 - Online (Search Soft) job posting/applicant tracking), Teacher-Teacher.Com online advertisement/applicant tracking system. #4 - Instant access to applicant information - in the hands of building level administrators and central office staff alike #5 - HR Office given the ability to rank quality applicants \"on sight\" reducing potential loss of applicants to other school districts.

The most common averaae class size that is used for planninq purposes is 25 students at the Elemenatrv qrade level and 30 at the Secondary grade Level. Definina A Classroom Arkansas School Facilitv Manual submits that for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten the classroom square footaqe is 1 000 S.F., and for qrades 1-5 the classroom size is 850 S.F.. For specialty rooms the classroom size is 850 S.F. I Also, note that classrooms\n:,:550S .F. and are used for instructionalp urposes are counted as General Classrooms. I The Standards and Guidelines submit that for Secondary classrooms, the square footage be 850 S.F., with\n:::650S .F and are used for any instructional space should be considered General Classrooms. Special Education ... t -J S ecial Education instruction occurs at various levels of need, va in class sizes, and in various locations. Art and Music Soaces Art and Music instruction is an important part of a well-rounded elementary curriculum. Therefore, s aces students, these proqrams may need to be combined into one space. Comouter Labs Even thouah the future solution is to have computers inteqrated into all instructional spaces, the current practice is to have designated computer labs in elementary schools. Science Classrooms State proficiency testinq has placed an increased emphasis on science curriculum at the elementa level. Current! , science instruction is limited to what can be done in the re ular classroom. Districts will need to I decide whether to provide separate classrooms for science or to include it in the regular classroom. Soecial Proarams Most school districts provide special proarams for at-risk students such as Title I and other ifted students. If these ro rams are to be rovided, s ace needs to be allocated for these When determinin the ca acit of a school, the number of s ecial classrooms should be a reflection of the enrollment of the buildinq. The simplest procedure for determining capacity would be to count the total number of classrooms and subtract the number for special purposes and then multiPlv the remainder by 25 fnumber of students]. The following table on the Elementarv Paae, illustrates this method of calculation, based on 25 students er class. Note: These calculators are school buildin to be utilized I 100% of the day, the set number of specialty rooms is already configured in the followin table. Seconda is based on a utilization factor of 85%.

Actual as of September 30, 2008 A committee within the ADE was formed in May 1995 to review and collect data on existing legislation and regulations identified by the parties as impediments to desegregation. The committee researched the Districts' concerns to determine if any of the rules, regulations, or legislation cited impede desegregation. The legislation cited by the Districts regarding loss funding and worker's compensation were not reviewed because they had already been litigated. In September 1995, the committee reviewed the following statutes, acts, and regulations: Act 113 of 1993\nADE Director's Communication 93-205\nAct 145 of 1989\nADE Director's Memo 91-67\nADE Program Standards Eligibility Criteria for Special Education\nArkansas Codes 6-18-206, 6-20-307, 6-20-319, and 6-17- 1506.

Actual as of August 31, 2008 A committee within the ADE was formed in May 1995 to review and collect data on existing legislation and regulations identified by the parties as impediments to desegregation. The committee researched the Districts' concerns to determine if any of the rules, regulations, or legislation cited impede desegregation. The legislation cited by the Districts regarding loss funding and worker's compensation were not reviewed because they had already been litigated. In September 1995, the committee reviewed the following statutes, acts, and regulations: Act 113 of 1993\nADE Director's Communication 93-205\nAct 145 of 1989\nADE Director's Memo 91-67\nADE Program Standards Eligibility Criteria for Special Education\nArkansas Codes 6-18-206, 6-20-307, 6-20-319, and 6-17- 1506.
