The committee researched the Districts' concerns to determine if any of the rules, regulations, or legislation cited impede desegreg_ation. 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. In October 1995, the individual reports prepared by committee members in their areas of expertise and the data used to support their conclusions were submitted to the ADE administrative team for their review. A report was prepared and submitted to the State Board of Education in July 1996. The report concluded that none of the items reviewed impeded desegregation. As of February 3, 1997, no laws or regulations have been determined to impede desegregation efforts. Any new education laws enacted during the Arkansas 81st Legislative Session will be reviewed at the close of the legislative session to ensure that they do not impede desegregation. In April 1997, copies of all laws passed during the 1997 Regular Session of the 81st General Assembly were requested from the office of the ADE Liaison to the Legislature for distribution to the Districts for their input and review of possible impediments to their desegregation efforts. In August 1997, a meeting to review the statutes passed in the prior legislative session was scheduled for September 9, 1997. 26 IV. REPEAL STATUTES AND REGULATIONS THAT IMPEDE DESEGREGATION (Continued) E. Submit proposals to the Legislature for repeal of those laws that appear to be impediments to desegregation. (Continued) 2.

The Districts will be contacted in writing for their input regarding any new laws or regulations that they feel may impede desegregation. Additionally, the Districts will be asked to review their regulations to ensure that they do not impede their desegregation efforts. The committee will convene on December 1, 1997 to review their findings and finalize their report to the Administrative Team and the State Board of Education. In October 1997, the Districts were asked to review new regulations and statutes for impediments to their desegregation efforts, and advise the ADE, in writing, if they feel a regulation or statute may impede their desegregation efforts. In October 1997, the Districts were requested to advise the ADE, in writing, no later than November 1, 1997 of any new law that might impede their desegregation efforts. As of November 12, 1997, no written responses were received from the Districts. The ADE concludes that the Districts do not feel that any new law negatively impacts their desegregation efforts. The committee met on December 1, 1997 to discuss their findings regarding statutes and regulations that may impede the desegregation efforts of the Districts. The committee concluded that there were no laws or regulations that impede the desegregation efforts of the Districts. It was decided that the committee chair would prepare a report of the committee's findings for the Administrative Team and the State Board of Education. The committee to review statutes and regulations that impede desegregation is now reviewing proposed bills and regulations, as well as laws that are being signed in, for the current 1999 legislative session. They will continue to do so until the session is over. The committee to review statutes and regulations that impede desegregation will meet on April 26, 1999 at the ADE. The committee met on April 26, 1999 at the ADE. The purpose of the meeting was to identify rules and regulations that might impede desegregation, and review within the existing legislation any regulations that might result in an impediment to desegregation. This is a standing committee that is ongoing and a report will be submitted to the State Board of Education once the process is completed. 27 IV.

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. In October 1995, the individual reports prepared by committee members in their areas of expertise and the data used to support their conclusions were submitted to the ADE administrative team for their review. A report was prepared and submitted to the State Board of Education in July 1996. The report concluded that none of the items reviewed impeded desegregation.

LORENE JOSHUA, et al. KATHERINE KNIGHT, et al. MOTION PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTER VEN ORS INTER VEN ORS The Joshua Intervenors respectfully request the court to enter an order directing the Office - of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM) to review the Pulaski County Special School District student assignment plan and to make other reviews as may be necessary to determine the extent to which the PCSSD has complied with the prior orders of this court. On October 22, 2007, undersigned counsel informed the court of the PCS SD' s plans to build a replacement secondary facility in the Maumelle community. At that time, counsel brought to the court's attention that the proposed new facility may advantage certain students of higher socio economic level and disadvantage those, largely African American students, oflower socio economic status. Joshua also brought to the court's attention that the PCSSD appears to be in the process of recreating separate schools which may be largely unequal in terms of physical facilities, at the least, and that in order for the court to access this process, independently, the ODM should be requested to make inquiry into the subject. On October 29, 2007, the PCS SD filed a motion for unitary status. In that motion the district Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4162 Filed 11/16/2007 Page 2 of 3 asserts that it has substantially complied with existing orders of the court and the Court of Appeals. The Eighth Circuit has directed the creation and utilization of the ODM in order to make appropriate and pertinent inquiries and to otherwise monitor compliance with respect to the commitments that the district has made in order to fully eliminate all vestiges of racial discrimination from the school system. The district has made its filing in part because it was induced, if not directed, by the Arkansas Legislature to seek unitary status. Whether the district is unitary is a judicial determination to be made upon consideration of any reports regarding the subject by the ODM and the evidence that it otherwise submitted by the parties regarding the subject. Joshua's earlier request for ODM monitoring and a report thereon is appropriate and will be helpful to the court when the court undertakes hearings on the subject. The primary monitor approved by the Court of Appeals, which has consistently been financed - by the defendant school districts and the State of Arkansas, is the Office of Desegregation Monitoring. Joshua submits that it is appropriate before this subject is heard by the court that the ODM review all aspects of the existing plans of the PCS SD and all of its school operations including comparative quality of facilities and make a monitoring report to the court in advance of such hearing. WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Joshua Intervenors respectfully move the court to direct the ODM to enter an overall appraisal pursuant to a comprehensive monitoring undertaking of the extent of compliance by the PCSSD which the existing plans of the district and that it include within such report a valuation and relative quality assessment of all of the facilities within the Pulaski County School District where students attend its schools.

On this day, November 16, 2007, Joshua filed a confusing \"motion\" that alternately seems to address the PCSSD's Motion for Unitary Status which was filed on October - 29, 2007, its plans to acquire a new location for Oak Grove High School next to Mamelle Middle School and a fairly rambling recitation of Joshua's view of the current role of the ODM and a request that the ODM evaluate PCSSD's plan compliance and facilities needs. 2. For the reasons set forth below, and because time is of the essence, this response primarily addresses that part of the Joshua motion, primarily. the second paragraph of the motion, regarding a replacement location for the antiquated Oak Grove High School. 3. The PCSSD will separately address other aspects of the Joshua motion in a separate response but in a timely fashion. A Brief History of the Current PCSSD Plan 4. Under previous incarnations of the PCS SD desegregation plans, fairly elaborate rules and tests applied to the selection of new school sites and court approval was specifically - required. Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 41.6 4 Filed 11/16/2007 Page 2 of 12 5. At the behest of the then presiding District Court Judge, the PCS SD jettisoned its cumbersome and comprehensive plan originally dating from 1992 and the PCSSD and Joshua negotiated a new plan, commonly known as Plan 2000. 6. Joshua and the PCSSD jointly presented the Plan for Court approval and it was duly approved and went into effect during 2000. 7. Many of the previous requirements were removed from the Plan. For instance, there is no longer any section regarding site requirements or court approval for new schools. Rather, the Plan simply states: H. School Facilities (3) The PCSSD shall notify the Joshua Intervenors of plans for constructing new schools and for adding capacity to existing schools. The notice shall identify the capacity of the proposed facility, the area of the system to be served, and the projected impact on the racial make-up of the students in each school expected to be affected by the new construction. The Joshua Intervenors shall have a period of 14 days in which to provide input concerning each such proposal. The Status of the Cunent Maumelle Site 8. The Maumelle School site was selected by a bi-racial committee of patrons from the affected areas and the vote of that committee was unanimous to select the site next door to the current Maumelle Middle School as a replacement for the ancient Oak Grove High School. 9. Pursuant to Plan 2000, counsel for Joshua was duly notified on September 7, 2007. (See Exhibit A). Accordingly, it was the PCSSD which informed the Court on September 7, 2007, of its plans to acquire the Maumelle site for the new Oak Grove High School. Joshua's cu1Tent assertion that it was Joshua which so notified the Court on October 22, 2007, is erroneous and the date of Joshua's letter does not comply with the time constraints mentioned and agreed to in Plan 2000. 2 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4164 Filed 11/16/2007 Page 3 of 12 1 O. . Joshua is asking the Court to order the ODM to study this site. It is respectfully submitted that the purpose of the ODM is to monitor Plan compliance. It cannot be disputed that PCS SD complied with the Plan by formally advising Joshua of the site selected. 11. A copy of the letter from counsel for Joshua dated October 22, 2007, is attached as Exhibit B. The Jacksonville issue referred to in the letter arises from legislation passed in the most recent legislative session which might result in a proposal to create a new Jacksonville School District. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with the plans for a new school in Maumelle. 12. As we explained in our initial letter, the entire student body for the new Maumelle school would matriculate from the Maumelle Middle School which draws its students from the Oak Grove area, M-to-M transfer students from Litt!~ Rock and Maumelle which is rapidly increasing its black population. Indeed, the current enrollment for Maumelle Middle School is approximately 44% African American. 13. Accordingly, there is no burden issue to study or discuss. Oak Grove, Maumelle and transfer students from Little Rock are simply not involved in any shape, form or fashion in the calculous that may or may not lead to a Jacksonville School District, as contended in Joshua's letter of October 22, 2007. 14. The Oak Grove community is on the west side of Camp Robinson which forms a land barrier between that northwestern part of the PCS SD and the northwestern part which commences in the Gravel Ridge/Sherwood area and extends on over into Jacksonville. . f 15. The status of Oak Grove High School has previously been assessed both by the State and the PCSSD's own studies. Each study has concluded that it should be closed and a new school built. Again, in the final analysis, the question should be: \"What does Plan 2000 require?\" It requires notice to Joshua. Notice was duly given on September 7, 2007. 45 days 3 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4164 Filed 11/16/2007 Page 4 of 12 passed before Joshua commented; the 14 days for comments specified in Plan 2000 expired not later than September 21 , 2007. Indeed, the Maumelle Middle School, from which this new school would draw its students, was not opposed by Joshua when it was selected and built several years ago. The schools would simply now be beside each other. The Current Status ~f the Property Acquisition 16. On November 15, 2007, the PCSSD received notification pursuant to the purchase contract that the sellers were invoking their right to close the Maumelle property transaction on or before December 15, 2007. Accordingly, time is of the essence. 17. This response is accompanied by a Memorandum Brief which more fully explains the PCSSD position. The PCSDD requests that a decision be accelerated by this Court denying the Joshua motion insofar as it seeks to block or delay the acquisition of the site for a new Maumelle High School which would serve a student body which is approximately 44% African American. WHEREFORE, the PCSSD prays for an order of this Court declaring that deciding and , selecting new school sites in the PCSSD, absent possible extraordinary circumstances which do not exist here and are not alleged here, are no longer subject to the scrutiny and micromanagement of this Court or of the ODM, and that the PCSSD is free to complete an orderly site selection process.

I say \"likely\" because the District is currently conducting the appropriate studies to confirm the suitability of the site for school construction. Pursuant to Section H-3 of Plan 2000 l am submitting this letter to give you the infonnation Plan 2000 requires, The facility, if constructed, would simply be the high school for the current Maumelle Middle School and its student body. You will recall that the Maumelle Middle School was constructed several years ago to replace Oak Grove Junior High School. There would be no proposed changes in geo codes or assignment areas to my knowledge. Stated another way, the new high school would serve the identical area currently served by the old Oak Grove High School and the same students who currently matriculate rrom Maumelle Middle School to Oak Grove High School would instead attend a new high school next door to them.

Page2 Since no geo codes would be affected and the \"area\" would remain the same, the re location of the school should not have any impact on the racial makeup of the new high school or any of the feeder schools. I do not yet know if \"capacity\" has been studied or detennined. I am confident it will be sufficient to serve the existing student ~ody and it may be planned for some anticipated growth as well.

There are at least two reasons for Joshua's opposition. First. there is a pending proposal for deannexation of tenitory from PCSSD relating to the Jacksonville effort. There has not been an impact study or any other writing prepared regarding Jacksonville's possible, if not likely, withdrawal. Nor has there been a study to assess the burdens upon African American students who will still need a place to attend school. Will the proposed school increase travel times beyond the Sffl Circuit limit? What benefits will flow to all Afiican American students from the site_ i. e.,, is it an educationally sound or financial feasible plan. Second. PCSSD represents that it is on the verge of financial calamity. Where then or how will this matter be financed? And in face of the declining quality of e\u0026gt;ther schools in poorer, more African American communities in PCSSD, what would be the relative physical equality between the schools. I can not approve the Taj Malull approach for the schools planned for Chenal and Maumelle while the other schools are left \"separate and unequal.\" Not even~ would condone that. Finally, in view of the district's diSDlBl record with meeting its agreed upon desegregation obligations, I, by copy of this letter, request that the ODM make an appraisal of your plans before you go further. There is no motion pending. Accordingly. like you.

NO. 4:82CV00866WRW PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL. MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF PCSSD'S RESPONSE TO MOTION PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS This response incorporates Rule 57 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to the extent declaratory relief might be appropriate under these circumstances. Indeed, as explained in the PCSSD respon~e\\o the Joshua motion, on November 15, 2007, the PCSSD was informed by the sellers of the Maumelle property that they were exercising their right to schedule closing which they have now done specifying that closing should occur on or before December 15, 2007. Hence, the PCSSD is replying to the untimely Joshua motion on the day it was received. Contrary to the assertions of Joshua, ODM review and participation is not required under current circumstances. While it is absolutely true that the ODM is to monitor compliance with the parties' desegregation plans, there is nothing to \"monitor\" here beyond the simple question of did the PCS SD provide the notice of its school construction and site acquisition plans as required - by Plan 2000? The answer is clearly \"yes\" and is answered by the PCSSD letter to Joshua dated ., ' September 7, 2007, copies of which were mailed to the Comt and to the ODM. Joshua Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4165 Filed 1111612007 Page 2 of 4 - acknowledges that it did not respond or \"comment\" until October 22, 2007, or far beyond the 14 day \"window\" for comment the parties agreed to in Plan 2000. Indeed, on October 25, 2007, the Court by letter directed Joshua to file a motion if it wished to pursue this matter. While this Court acted within three days, Joshua delayed another 22 days before serving a motion that, given its content concerning the site issue, could have been prepared and served by October 26, 2007. Accordingly, it is respectfully submittec,. l that.the Court should summarily and ' expeditiously enter its order denying at least that portion of Joshua's motion dated November 16, 2007, which would in any way delay the orderly process and the closing now scheduled for the new Maumelle school site which will host students currently attending Oak Grove High School.

Described below is:thestep~by'-step:process; reflected,inthe .chartabove,:.that we use.to .determine PCSSD's and NLRSD's contribution to the ODM budget: 1. The State of Arkansas' contribution ($200,000.00) is subtracted from ODM's total budget. 2. Based on this year's October 1 enrollment, the districts are charged their pro rata share of ODM's budget (minus the state's contribution). 3. Each district is credited with its pro rata share of ODM's unspent budget for the previous year. 4. The sum is the amount each district is to contribute to ODM's budget. The districts will be notified before the close of the current fiscal year of the exact amount due for its share of ODM's budget. Note: Since the U.S. District Court had declared the LRSD unitary during the 2006-07 school year, the Court ruled that the LRSD had no obligation with respect to future ODM budgets. As a result, the 2006-07 credit, as shown in the chart above, is calculated using the October 2006 enrollment for all three school districts, while the 2007-08 budget allocation is calculated using the October 2006 enrollment for only the PCSSD and the NLRSD.

DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTER VEN ORS PCSSD'S MOTION FOR A DECLARATION OF UNITARY STATUS The PCSSD for its motion, states: 1. The PCSSD believes that it has complied with or is in substantial compliance with its desegregation plan known as \"Plan 2000\". 2. The PCS SD seeks a declaration of this Court that it is unitary and should be  released from all aspects of Federal Court supervision. 3. Because the District can be eligible to receive certain financial incentives as a result of Act 395 of the 2007 legislative session if it is declared unitary by June of 2008, the PCSSD requests that a scheduling order be issued which would facilitate such a determination and decision by this Court within the deadlines suggested by Act 395. 4. This motion is accompanied by a rnemorandum brief, and a copy of Plan 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PCSSD'S MOTION FOR A DECLARATION OF UNITARY STATUS INTRODUCTION INTERVENORS INTER VEN ORS Federal judicial supervision over the facets of the operations of a school system was never intended to \"extend beyond the time required to remedy the effects of past intentional discrimination.\"1 Indeed, \"[f]rom the very first, federal supervision oflocal school systems was intended as a temporary measure to remedy past discrimination. \"2 The end purpose of federal judicial supervision was, and remains, \"to remedy the violation, and in addition, to restore state and local authorities to the control of a school system that is operating in compliance with the Constitution. \"3 This is necessarily the case because the return of \"schools to the control of local authorities at the earliest practicable date is essential to restore their true accountability in our government system. \"4 1 Board of Education of Oklahoma City v.

The current status of school desegregation in Pulaski County. The Little Rock School District has been declared unitary. The North Little Rock School District has recently filed a motion for unitary status. The school district was previously declared unitary in the area of student assignments. On June 9, 2004, the Office of Desegregation Monitoring issued a report to the federal district court5 addressing the school district's compliance with the remaini~g requirements of its desegregation plan. Contemporaneously with the execution of the 1989 Settlement Agreement, the PCS SD adopted a lengthy plan which, together with exhibits, exceeded 200 pages in length and was centered around job descriptions. In the latter part of the decade of the 1990s, the then presiding district court judge urged the PCSSD to enter negotiations with the parties to formulate a simpler and far less complex plan. By that time, the PCSSD had been declared unitary in phases in several areas of operations. Joshua and the PCS SD then set about the successful process of negotiating \"Plan 2000\" which Joshua and the PCSSD jointly submitted to the District Court for approval and to which no other party voiced objection. The Plan was duly approved and a true copy is attached to the motion as Exhibit A for the convenience of the Court and the parties. The PCSSD has operated under Plan 2000 for approximately seven years and now files its motion for unitary status. While certain or'its provisions are discussed herein, others will be analyzed for the Court as the proceedings progress. 1. Student Assignments. Recent and historical data analyzed indicate that the Pulaski County Special School District is positioned to be declared unitary in the area of student assignments. During 2006-2007 a Pulaski County Special School District elementary 2 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 3 of 12 school was considered desegregated if its student enrollment ranged between 20 to 51.0 percent black students. 6 Only four of school district's elementary schools feature a black student enrollment outside this range. In 2006-2007 Adkins Elementary School's black student enrollment stood at 59 percent; Taylor Elementary School was 59 percent; and black students comprised 61 percent of the student enrollment at Jacksonville Elementary School. These schools exceed the upper level for enrollment of black students by relatively modest percentages,7 Plan 2000 essentially continued the student assignment zones and geo code designations that were developed in 1989 and which have occasionally been tweaked and changed, always with court approval. Since the inception of Plan 2000, the most significant change in assignment zones occurred with respect to Harris Elementary School. The changes in assignments and - strategies for attracting students to Harris Elementary were by motion, and an order entered by this Court. All of the secondary schools, save Mills, at 60 percent (2 percentage appoints above the targeted range), are within their goals. With only five of the 36 Pulaski County Special School District's schools out of compliance with the enrollment guidelines, the district believes it is in substantial compliance with the federal district court's order to the extent practicable. The \"latest word\" in school desegregation law was articulated by the United States Supreme Court in Parents Involved In Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, et al. 5 \"The Status of the North Little Rock School District's Implementation of its Desegregation Plan,\" Office of Desegregation Monitoring, June 9,2004. 6 The federal district court established the desegregation deviation factor for determining if a school in the Pulaski County Special School District is desegregated. It is based upon a formula. The lower range is fixed at 20 percent. The upper range is determined by taking the total percentage of the school district's black enrollment and multiplying it by 25 percent. An upper range of 51 percent resulted for 2006-2007. 7 The fourth school, Bayou Meto Elementary School, is an isolated school with a small black enrollment. Because of its isolation, it has been exempted by the federal district court from compliance with the desegregation deviation factor. 3 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 4 of 12 The decision has proved controversial to many and its precise impact and effects remain debated. However, even the plurality opinion does reiterate much that has been understood for decades. For instance, at page 24 of the plurality opinion, the Roberts Opinion reminds us that: Even in the context of mandatory desegregation, we have stressed that racial proportionality is not required, see Milliken, 433 U.S., at 280, n. 14 (\"[A desegregation} order contemplating the substantive constitutional right [to aJ particular degree of racial balance or mixing is ... infirm as a matter of law\" (internal quotation marks omitted)); Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Bd. of Ed., 402 U.S. I, 24 (1971) (\"The constitutional command to desegregate schools does not mean that every school in every community must always reflect the racial composition of the school system as a whole\"). Further, to the extent that the racial composition of schools within the district has changed over time only because of private decisions, the fact that the PCSSD has not changed school assignment zones without court approval is of legal import. Again, the Roberts Opinion reminds us: The distinction between segregation by state action and racial imbalance caused by other factors has been central to our jurisprudence in this area for generations. See, e.g., Milliken, 433 U.S., at 280, n. 14; Freeman, 503 U.S., at 495-496 (\"Where resegregation is a product not of state action but of private choices, it does not have constitutional implications\"). 2. Faculty and Administrative Assignments. A desegregation deviation factor for the assignment of school level administrators and faculties was not established by the court or Plan 2000. In general, however, the case law provides that each school should have a staff that approximates the district-wide racial composition of its school-site administrators, teachers, and support staff personnel. 8 The PCS SD believes it is in compliance with this requirement. 8 Singleton v. Jackson Municipal Separate School District, 419 F.2d 1211 (5th Cir. 1970). 4 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 5 of 12 The Pulaski County Special School District recently had a ratio of 4 7 .1 percent white and 52.9 percent black building level administrators. Building level administrators in these school districts are evenly distributed and in almost every instance where there is more than one building level administrator assigned to a school there is one of each race. Schools with only one building level administrator are divided fairly evenly between the races. Therefore, the PCS SD believes it is in substantial compliance in the areas of faculty and building level administrative assignments. 3. Facilities. Schools in the Pulaski County Special School District range from excellent to others in need of either extensive renovation, remodeling, closing, or replacement. However, those schools in need of renovation, remodeling, closing, or replacement are not vestiges of the prior dual system of education for the races. Further, one of the significant accomplishments of the state Lake View litigation has been the comprehensive assessment review, remedial plans and, most importantly, the multi-million dollar commitment by the State of Arkansas to upgrade all school facilities in the State. Each district has been required to submit a 10 year plan for the renovation of facilities and the replacement of those whose renovation is impractical or economically unwise. Stated another way, the funds necessary to accomplish equality in facilities in the PCSSD has been appropriated by the State from the recent State surpluses and the Court can thus be assured that the work will be done and facilities will be upgraded. B. What is a unitary system? A unitary school system is one that has complied in good-faith with its desegregation decree since it was entered and has eliminated the vestiges of past discrimination \"to the extent practicable.\"9 9 Dowell, 498 U.S. at 249-50, 111 S. Ct. 638. 5 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 6 of 12 \"The origin of the 'good faith' requirement c;an be traced to the United States Supreme Court's decision in [Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 349 U.S. 294, 75 S. Ct. 753, 99 L. Ed. 1083 (1955)] Brown fl \" 10 Good-faith requires that a school district demonstrate \"to the public and to the parents and students of the once disfavored race, its good-faith commitment to the whole of the court's decree and to those provisions of the law and the Constitution that were the predicate for judicial intervention in the first instance.\"11 A school district's good-faith commitment to the entirety of the court's orders is necessary \"in order to insure that the principal wrong of the dejure system, the injuries and stigma inflicted upon the race disfavored by the violation, is no longer present.\" 12 A history of good-faith compliance must be found by the federal district court in order that it may \"accept [a] school board's representation that it has accepted the principle of racial equality and will not ;suffer intentional discrimination in the future.\" 13 Compliance \"to the extent practicable\" with the court's decrees in the present school desegregation litigation requires that each of the existing school districts in Pulaski County demonstrate to the federal district court that they have complied in good-faith with the provisions of their respective consent decrees for a reasonable period of time. 14 Consent decrees or agreements are contractual in nature and, therefore, compliance is required as to each provision even where a provision may arguably impose requirements not otherwise required by law for a judicial finding of unitary status. 15 1 Charles L. Patin, Jr. and William M. Gordon, \"School Desegregation Cases: The 'Good Faith' Requirement,\" 159 West's Education Law Reporter, 407,407. 11 Freeman, 503 U.S. at 491, 112 S. Ct. at 1446. 12 Freeman, 503 U.S. at 485, 112 S. Ct. at 1443. 13 Freeman, 503 U.S. at 498, 112 S. Ct. at 1449. 14 See generally, William M. Gordon and David E. Bartz, \"Achieving Unitary Status Under the Combined Standards of Dowell and Pitts,\" 82 West's Education Law Reporter, 283. 15 While a federal district court may not order a remedy over the objections ofa party that is not tailored to remedy a constitutional violation, the parties to a lawsuit may settle their dispute \"by undertaking to do more than the Constitution itselfrequires ... , but also more than what a court would have ordered absent the settlement.\" Rufo v. Inmates of Suffolk County Jail, 502 U.S. 367,389, 112 S. Ct. 748,763. 116 L. Ed.2d 867 (1992). 6 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 7 of 12 Compliance also may be required with what are commonly referred to as the Green factors although this case has likely progressed beyond this analysis and several of the Green factors are not present in Plan 2000 nor are they required to be monitored. In past cases, compliance required elimination to the extent practicable of the vestiges of the prior dual system in the areas of student assignments, faculty and staff assignments, transportation, extra-curricular or student activities, and facilities. Nevertheless, it is not unusual in the latter stages of a school desegregation lawsuit, such as regards the PCSSD here, that orders issued by federal courts may focus on specific facets of the operation of a school system where additional remedies may be required without further mention of one or more or all of the Green factors .16 Finally, when a school district is declared unitary by a federal district court, whether in whole or partially and whether upon consent of the parties or following adversarial proceedings, - judicial supervision is terminated and all orders and injunctions with respect to the declaration are terminated. 17 Control of the affairs of the school district in the area or areas in which it is declared unitary are returned to local control and the litigation as to such area or areas is concluded. 18 Thus, a party formerly adverse to the school district is not positioned, following a declaration of unitary status, to petition the federal district court in the concluded litigation to once again exercise its supervision over the area or areas in which the school district was previously declared unitary. In short, once a school district is declared unitary and in compliance with the constitution the jurisdiction of the federal district court is ended. 19 Accordingly, post-Dowell and Freeman 16 \"[A] school board is entitled to a rather precise statement of its obligations under a desegregation decree.\" Dowell, 498 U.S. at 246, 111 S. Ct. at 636, citing Pasadena City Board of Education v. Spangler, 427 U.S. 424, 96 S. Ct. 2697,49 L. Ed.2d 599 (I 976). 17 Dowell, 498 U. S. at 244-46, 111 S. Ct. at 635-36; Freeman, 503 U.S. at 490, 112 S. Ct. at 1445. 18 \"A school district which has been released from an injunction imposing a desegregation plan no longer requires court authorization for the promulgation of policies and rules regulating matters such as assignment of students and the like, but it of course remains subject to the mandate of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.\" Dowell, 498 U.S. at 250, 111 S. Ct. at 638. 19 Freeman, 503 U.S. at 491, 112 S. Ct. at 1445-46. 7 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 8 of 12 there no longer exists a post-operational period following a declaration of unitary status in which the jurisdiction and supervision of a federal district court may be reintroduced upon motion of an adverse party. Once a school district has been declared unitary, the jurisdiction of the federal courts may only be reintroduced in a subsequently filed action in which a finding of intentional discriminatory conduct in violation of the Equal Protection Clause to the Fourteenth Amendment is alleged. 20 C. Good Faith In order to establish that PCSSD should be declared unitary, the District must demonstrate that it has \"complied in good faith with its desegregation decree since it was entered.\" See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co Special School Dist. No. 1, 23 7 F .Supp.2d 988, 1027 (E.D. Ark. 2002) citing Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell, 498 U .s. - 237, 249-50 (1991). See also Missouri v. Jenkins, 515 U.S. 70, 88 (1995). The Supreme Court has established that \"good faith\" is demonstrated when, ... the school district has demonstrated, to the public and to the parents and students of the once disfavored race, its good-faith commitment to the whole of the court's decree and to those provisions of the law and the Constitution that were the predicate for judicial intervention in the first instance. Freeman v. Pitts,, 503 U.S. 467, 491-492 (1992). In this effort, the Court noted that the duration of the school district's compliance record must be considered: ... a court should give particular attention to the school system's record of compliance. A school system is better positioned to demonstrate its good-faith commitment to a constitutional course of action when its policies form a consistent pattern of lawful conduct directed to eliminating earlier violations. And, with the 20 See Elston v. Talladega County Board of Education, 997 F.2d 1394, 1404 (I ph Cir. 1993), in which a previously declared unitary school district was sued for, among other things, an alleged violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The court of appeals observed that: \"To establish an equal protection clause violation, a plaintiff must demonstrate that a challenged action was motivated by an intent to discriminate. \" (emphasis supplied.) 8 id. Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 9 of 12 passage of time, the degree to which racial imbalances continue to represent vestiges of a constitutional violation may diminish, and the practicability and efficacy of various remedies can be evaluated with more precision.\" D. Substantial Compliance In addition to proving \"good faith,\" PCSSD must also establish that it is in \"substantial compliance\" with the PCSSD Plan. As this Court has stated, \"[i]t is black letter law that a school district seeking an end to court supervision has the burden of proving substantial compliance with the judicially imposed remedy.\" See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1,470 F.Supp.2d 963, 984 (E.D. Ark. 2004). This Court has given the following guidance regarding the test for \"substantial compliance\": [I]n order to determine if a party is in 'substantial compliance' with a consent decree, the trial court must examine whether any of the alleged violations of the consent decree 'were serious enough to constitute substantial noncompliance' and 'to cast doubt on defendant' future compliance with the constitution.' ... [A] Party can be in 'substantial compliance' with a consent decree even if it has committed violations that are 'inconsequential' in light of the party's overall performance. Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1,237 F.Supp.2d 988, 1027 (E.D. Ark. 2002) citing Code v. Hillard, 139 f.3d 1197, 1199-1200 (8th Cir. 1998).21 21 It should be noted that some time ago Joshua invoked the \"Dispute Resolution\" provision of Plan 2000. While currently languishing, this process remains technically in progress. 9 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4160 Filed 10/29/2007 Page 10 of 12 Conclusion The purpose of court supervision was to create a unitary school system from what was once a \"dual school system,\" establishing and maintaining a system in which the interests of both black and white students were equal by involving black representatives into policy making and administration. Before the last election, three of the District's seven Board members were African-American, there are black administrators at every level and each school maintains diversity in certificated staff and student bodies. For reasons set out above, PCSSD should be declared unitary and released from federal court supervision.

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT vs. NO. LR-C-82-866 WRW/JTR PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DEFENDANTS DISTRICT NO. 1, et al. LORENE JOSHUA, et al. KATHERINE KNIGHT, et al. PLAINTIFF INTERVENORS INTERVENORS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DECLARATION OF NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT'S UNITARY STATUS AND RELEASE FROM COURT SUPERVISION As this Court has recognized, \"federal judicial supervision of school systems was intended as a 'temporary measure' [and the] ultimate objective [is] to return school districts to the control of local authorities. n Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District No. 1, et al., 237 F.Supp. 2d 988, 1027 (E.D. Ark. 2002) quoting Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 489 (1992). Accordingly, supervising courts \"must... provide an orderly means for withdrawing from that control when it is shown that the school district has attained the requisite degree of compliance. n Id. In 2006, the North Little Rock School District (\"NLRSDn or the \"District\") School Board voted unanimously to seek unitary status. A complete copy of the . 2006 school board minutes is attached to the Petition filed herewith as Exhibit A. 1 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 2 of 16 In 2007, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 395, which is now codified as Ark. Code Ann.  6-20-416 (the \"Act\"). In the Act, the State of Arkansas promises to \"compensate school districts that seek and obtain unitary status.\" These actions by the Board and the State alleviated NLRSD's political and financial concerns about seeking unitary status. Thus, NLRSD hereby simultaneously files its Petition for Unitary Status and this brief, which provides the support for its position that NLRSD should be declared unitary and released from federal court supervision. History of Plan The desegregation plan approved by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in its decision in Uttle Rock Schoo/ Dist. V. Pulaski County Special Schoo/ Dist. on December 12, 1990 (\"NLR Plan\") is actually to be found in several documents beginning with NLRSD's original plan submission in 1986. This submission was the \"Plan for Implementing the Remedial . Order of the Court of ..  Appeals for the Eighth Circuit as It Applies to [NLRSD]\" which NLRSD filed on March 17, 1986 (\"March Plan\"). This initial submission addressed the interdistrict violations enumerated by the Court of Appeals in Uttle Rock Schoo/ Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special Schoo/ Dist. No. 1, 778 F.2d 404 (8th Cir. 1985). The district court, however, required NLRSD to provide a plan to address its intradistrict violations, as well. Therefore, NLRSD filed on October 14, 1986, its \"Supplement to Plan for Implementing the Remedial Order of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit as It Applies to the North Little Rock School District' (\"October Supplement\"). 2 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 3 of 16 In its Order of February 27, 1987, the district court approved the NLR Plan consisting of the March Plan and October Supplement. Subsequently, some modifications to the NLR Plan were made either by petition to and approval by the district court or by operation of the settlement among the parties. The first NLR Plan modification occurred as a result of NLRSD's motion of July 21, 1987 to add an addendum that addressed the impact of Acts 624 and 762 of 1987 regarding student assignment. This motion was approved by the district court by its Order of July 27, 1987. The next modification occurred as a result of NLRSD's \"Petition to Modify NLRSD Student Assignment Plan and to Close Central Junior High School\" filed on July 20, 1988, and was approved by the district court by its Order of September 1, 1988. This modification provided for the re.organization of NLRSD secondary schools. beginning. in the 1990-91 - school year: Additionally, Central.Junior. High Scho.ol was,closedand:-the;studeat assignment zones:.for the remaining three: junior high schools were redrawn to .. -- ensure comparable racial balance. These.modifications were implemented at the. beginning of the 1990-91 school year. Additional modifications occurred as a result of the settlement among the parties. First, the parties agreed to NLRSD's \"Petition to Modify NLRSD's Desegregation Plan\" submitted to the Special Master in February, 1989 and incorporated into the parties' \"lnterdistrict Desegregation Plan,\" which was created in response to the finding that the North Little Rock and Pulaski County School districts had engaged i11 discriminatory actions that contributed to the disparity in the racial composition of the student bodies of the two districts and 3 --\"'- , ___ -\" --vv-- \" .. , '\".. \"'-''-''\"'u111c 111..,. ,..,.v , 11cu u;;J,~ 11uu, rayt::: \"+ or 10 Little Rock School District. See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special - School Dist. No. 1, 584 F.Supp. 328, 353 (E.D. Ark. 1984). Certain provisions of this Petition dealing with interim efforts to desegregate Lakewood Junior High School pending the secondary reorganization were satisfied and are no longer applicable since the secondary reorganization has been accomplished. The other provisions of the Petition have now been incorporated into the NLR Plan. Another modification of the NLR Plan occurred as a result of the \"Stipulated Compensatory Education Programs to be Implemented by the NLRSD with Settlement Monies\" filed on October 25, 1989 which satisfied paragraph VIII D. of the Pulaski County School Desegregation Case Settlement Agreement, March, 1989 (as revised September 28, 1989) requiring a description of the compensatory education programs to be. implemented. by NLRSD with. funds to be received from the Settlement Agreement This. Stipulation also gave effect to and superseded that portion of the. original NLR Plan which described additional compensatory edtication programs whicn could be implemented, only with addittonal State funds. On April 29, 1992, the elements of the NLR Plan were consolidated and published in a single document (the \"1992 Plan Handbook\") for distribution to NLRSD officials and for their ease of reference in implementing the provisions of the plan. On August 31, 1995, NLRSD reached an agreement regarding unitary . status in the area of student assignment and Elementary Gifted and Talented. 4- Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 5 of 16 The Court approved the release of NLRSD from court supervision on student assignments and Elementary Gifted and Talented on September 18, 1995. On April 10, 1998, the district court entered an order approving LRSD's Revised Plan, which stated that it \"shall supersede and extinguish all prior agreements and orders\" in this case \"and all consolidated cases related to the desegregation\" of LRSD.\" See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 237 F.Supp.2d 988, 993 (E.D. Ark. 2001). Thus, NLRSD is no longer required to comply with the lnterdistrict Plan, and the sole measure of NLRSD's unitary status is its compliance,with the NLR Plan.

Legal Standards The standard for determining whether a school district which is subject to judicially supervised desegregation plan is now well-established: the district must have acted in good faith to implement its plan and must have achieved substantial compliance with the requirements of that plan. 5 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 6 of 16 A. Good Faith In order to establish that NLRSD should be declared unitary, the District must demonstrate that it has \"complied in good faith with its desegregation decree since it was entered.\" See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 237 F.Supp.2d 988, 1027 (E.D. Ark. 2002) citing Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell, 498 U.S. 237, 249-50 (1991). See also Missouri v. Jenkins, 515 U.S. 70, 88 (1995). The Supreme Court has established that \"good faith\" is demonstrated when, . . . the school district has demonstrated, to the public and to the parents and students of the once disfavored race, its good-faith commitment to the whole of the court's decree and to those provisions of the law and the Constitution that were the predicate for judicial intervention in the first instance. Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 491-492 (1992). In this effort, the Court noted that the duratior-i of the school district's. compliance record must be considered: .... a court should give particular attention to the school system's '- record of compliance. A school system is better positioned to demonstrate its good-faith commitment to a constitutional course of action when its policies form a consistent pattern of lawful conduct directed to eliminating earlier violations. And, with the passage of time, the degree to which racial imbalances continue to represent vestiges of a constitutional violation may diminish, and the practicability and efficacy of various remedies can be evaluated with more precision.\" Id. B. Substantial Compliance In addition to proving \"good faith,\" NLRSD must also establish that it is in \"substantial compliance\" with the NLR Plan. As this Court has stated, \"[i]t is black letter law that a school district seeking an end to court supervision has the 6 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 7 of 16 - burden of proving substantial compliance with the judicially imposed remedy. See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 470 F. Supp. 2d 963, 984 (E.D. Ark. 2004). This Court has given the following guidance regarding the test for \"substantial compliance\": (l]n order to determine if a party is in 'substantial compliance' with a consent decree, the trial court must examine whether any of the alleged violations of the consent decree 'were serious enough to constitute substantial noncompliance' and 'to cast doubt on defendant' future compliance with the constitution.' . . . [A] Party can be in 'substantial compliance' with a consent decree even if it has committed violations that are 'inconsequential' in light of the party's overall performance. Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 237 F.Supp.2d 988; 1027 (E.D. .. Ark. 2002) citing..Cody V. Hillard; 139 F.3d 1197, 1199-1200 (8th Cir. -.1998). Also. in Little Rock Schoo/Dist., this Court.more succinctly set out.its: test for substantiat compliance when it stated. that it. would be,. \"required. to examine whether any-of LRSD's: failur.es-to comply wittr the Revised Plan in the  \\ six challenged areas are 'serious enough': (1) to constitute 'substantiat. noncompliance'; and (2) 'to cast doubt' on [NLRSD's] future compliance with the Constitution.\" Id. at 1035-1036. Thus, \"substantial compliance\" is not legalistic compliance with each \"jot and tiddle\" of the North Little Rock Plan but, instead, is a measure of the NLRSD's history of working to comply with its plan as a predictor of whether it has experienced a change in its operations and attitudes such that the it will continue to comply with the Constitution after the being released from court supervision. 7 \\ Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 8 of 16 Record of Compliance Declaration of NLRSD's unitary status is proper because the District has maintained substantial compliance with its plan in good faith throughout the two decades it has been under this Court's supervision. The discussion below details the evidence of NLRSD's good faith and compliance with its plan. The discussion also explains how NLRSD recognizes the latest research, methodologies, laws and technology while continuing to remain faithful to the goals and values of its desegregation plan. A. Evidence of Compliance As detailed in the October 19, 1988 Report to Special Master Regarding the Status. of Implementation of North Little Rock.School District's Desegregation. Plan (\"1988. Status Report\"), NLRSD acted, expeditiously,and,comprel:tensb.tely to .. implement its original: dese.gre.gati:an plan approved:,by the; Court in 1987': A complete copy of the 1988: Status Report- with7 appendi:~esr is. attached: to the: Petition. filed .. herewith as. Exhibits: 8(1) to B.(.t1)_ NLRSD. continued to, comply with the 1987 version . of the desegregation plan, which was significantly incorporated into the plan approved by the court in 1992. Soon thereafter, NLRSD initiated and completed a self-audit (\"1994 SelfAudif). A complete copy of the 1994 Self-Audit detailing the status of the individual provisions of the 1992 plan is attached to the Petition filed herewith as Exhibit C. The 1994 Self-Audit analyzed the specific nature of the 188 plan provisions and detailed NLRSD's compliance with each. The 1994 Self-Audit also identified the following factors for each of the individual provisions: (1) the 8 \\ Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 9 of 16 administrator or group responsible for execution; (2) the date of implementation; and (3) references to other audits and reports monitoring the particular compliance activity. Accordingly, the 1994 Self-Audit provides significant evidence of NLRSD's dedication to complying with its desegregation plan. After the Court approved NLRSD's unitary status for student assignment in 1995 and for elementary gifted and talented in 1996, NLRSD continued to monitor the status of the other provisions of its desegregation plan. NLRSD submitted periodic status reports detailing its findings to the Court and other parties pursuant to the lnterdistrict Plan until this plan was superseded by the modifications to the Little Rock School District's Desegregation Plan and the Pulaski County School District's Desegregation Plan in 1998. Thereafter, NLRSD continued to provide information. as requested by the ODM for its monitoring of the District. Moreover, from 1987 to date, no motion has been filed: by any party alleging violations of or seeking to enforce provisions of. NLRSD's plan or settlement agreements or otherwise alleging that NLRSD was not in compliance ,. with its desegregation plan. On June 9, 2004, the ODM published its report on the Status of the North Little Rock School District's Implementation of Its Desegregation Plan (\"2004 ODM Status Report\"). A complete copy of the 2004 ODM Status Report is attached to the Petition filed herewith as Exhibit D. In analyzing the nine \"discrete divisions of the NLRSD desegregation plan, ODM relied on its direct observations of NLRSD employees, ODM's interviews with NLRSD employees,. reports from the Arkansas Department of Education and data submitted by 9 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 10 of 16 \\ NLRSD. 2004 ODM Status Report at 1-2. Taken as a whole, the ODM's independent and objective report demonstrates that NLRSD has substantially complied with the desegregation plan in good faith. B. Evolution of the Plan The very heart of NLRSD's desegregation plan is its goal to remedy the effects of the segregative acts which this Court found the District to have committed. These segregative acts, originally identified by this Court in 1984, are enumerated in the Introduction of the 1992 Plan Handbook. To ensure that the desegregation goal was accomplished, the District's desegregation plan outlined specific programs, services and activities that NLRSD used or proposed to use at the time the plan was created. However, \"[mJany of the educational approaches that were incorporated into the desegregation plan-have become outdated.\" 2004 ODM Status Report at 1. Accordingly, NLRSD has. modified the specific programs or \"has implemented different procedures and . programs intended to more effectively achieve desegregation goals.\" Id. Such modifications are not a deviation from NLRSD's desegregation plan but, instead, reflect its commitment to the principles of its desegregation plan as educational standards and best practices evolve. Indeed, it is critical to remember that desegregation \"plans are a floor, not a ceiling when analyzing whether NLRSD has met the standard of substantial compliance with the plan. Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special Schoof.District No. 1, et al. , 769 F. Supp 1491 , 1495 (E.D. Ark. 1991). NLRSD . never agreed to adhere to plan specifics into perpetuity. In fact, this Court Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 11 of 16 instructed the districts to maintain \"sufficient flexibility to deal with changing conditions and meet unforeseen developments\" with regard to their desegregation plans. Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District No. 1, et al., 769 F. Supp. 1483, 1490 (E.D. Ark. 1991). Moreover, the 2002 testimony of the Joshua Intervenor's expert witness, Dr. Terrence Roberts, further supports this position. Dr. Roberts was one of the \"Little Rock Nine,\" who continued his education by obtaining a bachelor's degree is sociology, a master's degree in social work and a doctorate in psychology. Dr. Roberts specifically warned against what he termed \"compliance mentality,\" instructing the districts to focus \"not on the letter of the plan, but the spirit of the plan.\" See the Excerpted Transcript of July. 24, 2002 Evidentiary Hearing,. attached .. to. the: Petition filed: herewith as Exhibit Eat p ... 630. and p .. 649. NLRSD has done~exactly that.. After implementing:the:plan in: the:ear1y 1990s, specific. NLRSD programs: have: evolved. or hav.e bee' replace.a b.y more effective- or:- perfected. programs, which continue to combat segre.gative. effects .. while. als.o.. recognizing the mandates of state and federal laws, the enlightenment of research and numerous advances in technology and instructional methodology. This evolution is characteristic of the foresight of NLRSD. The District takes great pride in preserving an understanding of the latest research redefining best practices, implementing cutting edge programs that ultimately become the requisite practice or the norm, improving programs that have become archaic and replacing programs that have become obsolete. 11 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 12 of 16 The following examples illustrate the necessity of educational program evolution and NLRSD's continuing good faith commitment to its desegregation goals as outlined in its plan. The NLR Plan provides for a Home Instruction Program for Pre-School Youth (\"HIPPY\") to \"be established in lower socio-economic attendance zones.\" NLR Plan page 34. As a Compensatory Education program, HIPPY was designed to prepare lower socio-economic pre-school children for success when they entered kindergarten. The year after HIPPY was originally implemented; it served fifty (50) fouryear- old students, utilizing home instructors to educate parents by providing reading. material to use wjth their children ... The. HIPPY program eveataally- evolved. with. the District.taking. a more- active. role .in the .. pre,..schoaUearning. by, offering classroom-basect-early childhood':edu.catio:tt and:ihcr:easing, the capacity,  of the program .. In more recent years, the program replaced the .home instructors,. with. a \"parent liaison\" trained in Minnesota Early Learning Design. The parent liaison \"teaches parents the child development principles that pertain most directly to school readiness [by] maintain[ing] parent contact [and] conduct[ing] workshops[.]\" 2004 ODM Report p. 23. NLRSD's current Early Childhood Program, the perfected progeny of HIPPY, serves approximately five hundred (500) three-year-old, four-year-old and five-year-old children, whose eligibility for admission is based on certain factors including poverty, low birth weight, abuse or neglect, and English as a second language. Id. The program also offers an 12 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 13 of 16 infant and toddler section the children of older NLRSD students, preparing these children for education, while preventing their parents from dropping out of school. Additionally, NLRSD's Early Childhood Program supplements  the curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services' Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education by emphasizing readiness for kindergarten but allowing teachers to begin reading instruction if they deem a child ready. Id. Early childhood programs like NLRSD's are widely found to be beneficial, though they have not been implemented on a wide spread basis. Other significant examples of NLRSD's continuing commitment to the principles of its plan are the District's Compensatory Programs Aimed at Dropout Prevention, which include. the Alternative School program and. Student Assignment Classes program. NLR Plan page, 37-38 .. NLRSD's original Alternative S,c hool served students identifieda s at risk of dropping out o.f school and was located: at the: Boys and Girls Club. However, the Distri-ct \"decided to develop its. own alternative. programs using. District resources~ when budg.et issues and a series of personnel changes at the Boys and Girls Club \"resulted in a weak and ineffective alternative program.\" 2004 ODM Report at page 47. Currently, NLRSD has five sites that serve as alternative schools based on the age of the students. Additionally, the SAC program, included in the provisions of the 1992 plan, prevents students from dropping out of school by providing an inschool suspension program, removing the students from the classroom but keeping them in a supervised educational environment \"These classes have 13 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 14 of 16 '\\ been a consistent force in providing students an opportunity to continue their education while they are ... in the discipline system.\" Id. NLRSD now \"goes beyond the [original programs set out] in its desegregation plan by offering a dropout retrieval program at Shorter College and providing a highly focused program for credit deficient students in the Graduate Academy.\" Id. at 50. In its 2004 report, the ODM \"commend[ed] the NLRSD for the many programs it has in place to serve as alternatives to putting students out of school [and b]ecuase the NLRSD allows students and parents to choose among alternative education placements and home suspensions, a student's educational future is determined by the home in conjunction with the schooldistrict\" Id .. Conclusion The purpose, of. court supervisien was-, to create a:. unitary schael: s.ystemc. from what was once a \"dual school system, establis~ing and maintaiming ..: a. system in which the interests. of. both black. and white students were equal. by involving black representatives into policy making and administration. Today, three of the District's seven Board members are African-American, there are black administrators at every level and each school maintains a bi-racial committee. As a district which \"has been largely characterized by an absence of rancor and dissension, NLRSD has consistently avoided \"potentially volatile decisions\" and made smooth transitions in its programs. 2004 ODM Report at page 45. 14 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 15 of 16 \"The NLRSD superintendent has been an admirable force for collaboration and accord as he has involved both the internal [faculty, parents, students] and external community in many weighty district matters. .. demonstrating wise sensitivity to the adage that people will support what they help create ... By avoiding surprises, meaningfully involving in changes those who are most affected by those changes, maintaining a congenial and professional demeanor, and consisting treating others with respect, the district's CEO has fostered the growth of cohesiveness in tt,e NLRSD and promoted significant level of harmony between the district and the community.\" Id. NLRSD's School Board reflects the racial make up of the community. As a cooperative group, the Board weighs the interests of each student and parent equally irrespective of their race; so that it is no longer necessary for the Court to be an artificial voice for the black students. Thus, NLRSD has been an exemplary model of a district that has substantially complied in good faith: with the goals of its desegregation plan and, as a result, has become unitary. As Special Master Aubrey Mccutcheon observed, \"desegregation is- a state- of- mind:.\" NlRSD has certainly achieved this ultimate goal. The Court should note that NLRSD has stipulated that the Joshua lntervenors may have an extended time period of 90 days to file an initial response to this Petition given the significance of this matter. The parties agree that this would not affect the schedule for discovery or any hearing dates. Additionally, the Court should be aware Ark. Code Ann.  6-20-416 provides that the District would be eligible for reimbursement of the legal fees associated with seeking unitary status if the Court makes such a declaration by June 14, 2008. Therefore, it is critical that this matter proceed in a manner that will allow resolution before this date. 15 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 16 of 16 '\\ For the reasons set out above, NLRSD should be declared unitary and released from federal court supervision.

On the varsity level for all sports, adult ticket price would remain the same. The $1.00 increase on a student ticket would be $4.00. Admission prices at the middle school level for all athletic events will increase $1.00 also. Adult ticket prices would increase to $4.00 and student ticket to $3.00. This increase keeps North Little Rock School District in line with the other 7 A Central Conference schools.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ''ordC1'ed the creation of the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM) to assist the district court in its supervision\" of the desegregation efforts of LRSD. PCSSD and NLRSD. LRSD v. PCSSD, 451 F.3d 528, 529 (8th Cir. 2006). This Court has released LRSD \"from all further supervision and monitoring from the Court, ODM and Joshua based upon its having subs~ntially complied with all of its obligations under the Revised Plan, the September 2002 Compliance Remedy, and the June 2004 Compliance Remedy.\" Order Declaring the little Rock School District Unitary, February 23, 2007, p. 49. This Order has not been stayed and r,ernains in effect pending appeal. 3. Since ODM was created ''to assist the district coun in its supel'Vision\" of LRSD, and the Court has held \"that LRSD is released from all further supervision and monitoring,\" then tbere is no practical reason for requiring LRSD to continue to participate in the funding of ODM. More importantly, however, LRSD has achieved unitary status and is no longer subject to the Court's jurisdiction to impose further remedies such as a requirement to continue to fund the '. ODM- Board of Edu.catwn v. Dowelt 498 U.S- 237, 247 (1991) (\"From the very first, federal supervision of local schooJ ~ystems was intended as a temporary measure to remedy past discrimination.\"); Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 490 (1992) (\"Returning schools to the con_trol of local autttorities at the earliest practicable date is essential to restore their true accountability in our govemmental system.\") WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, Joshua's request that LRSD continue to participate in the funding of OJ\u0026gt;M should be denied.

The proposed intervenors assert that the LRSD Board of Directors \"is unable to represent the interests of the District because the majority of the Board - members are under the influence of [Appellants' counsel].\" Id. at paragraph 25. They ask the Court to dismiss this appeal or, alternatively, to enjoin LRSD from seeking to resolve this appeal through the Court's prehearing conference program. Id. at paragraphs 31 and 32; see Rules for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit 32A; Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 33. 2. The director of the Court's prehearing conference program has scheduled a prehearing conference for August 9 and 10, 2007 at Little Rock. Appellants have presented LRSD a \"settlement proposal\" which will likely represent their opening position at the prehearing conference. The proposed intervenors believe that the Appellants' settlement proposal should be rejected. See Second Amended Motion to Intervene, paragraph 9 (\"[T]he proposed settlement will create a nightmare for the District\"); paragraph 8 (\"The settlement prop'osed by Mr. Walker would provide Mr. Walker unwarranted contractual leverage over the District);\" paragraph 14 (LRSD's attorney advised the LRSD Board that the \"settlement proposal would unduly bind the District\" and \"likely would violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution .... \"). LRSD has not agreed to Appellants' proposal, however, or decided to do anything more than participate in the Court's prehearing_ conference program. 3. The Intervenors do not provide the Court a sufficient basis to justify the extraordinary use of federal power to prevent opposing parties in litigation from even talking about their differences in an effort to resolve them. The federal 2 - courts have always respected the democratic process and the legitimate auth0rity of local officials. Even in cases involving constitutional violations ( and no illegal acts of any kind are alleged here), federal courts have recognized the importance of returning control to locally elected school officials at the earliest possible time. Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 490 (1992) (\"Returning schools to the control of local authorities at the earliest practicable date is essential to restore their true accountability in our governmental system.\") 4. The proposed intervenors want to intervene to ask the Court to dismiss this appeal \"for failure to prosecute or, in the alternative, on mootness grounds.\" Second Amended Motion to Intervene, paragraph 31. Appellants have been ~anted two extensions of time but those have been within the authority of the clerk to grant. Rules for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, 37B{a). In a separate response filed today, L~D agrees with Appellants that this appeal should be held in abeyance pending the outcome of the prehearing conference. There has therefore been no sanctionable failure to prosecute this appeal. 5. The question of the viability of the Joshua Intervenors as a class will be addressed by the Appellants. LRSD simply sees no legal impediment to its participation in the Court's prehearing conference program and then, if necessary, - seeking to have the District Court's Order affirmed on the merits of this appeal. 3 6. The proposed intervenors contend that the \"[t]he interests of the District and the community represented by the proposed intervenors cannot be ' served by regular school board elections.\" They argue that \"[t]he ballot box is an inadequate remedy in this case.\" Second Motion to Intervene, paragraph 24. The LRSD Board members are the elected representatives of the people. They are free to exercise all of the authority granted them under Arkansas law. The proposed intervenors do not accuse the Board of having acted illegally or beyond the scope of its authority, but only in a manner which the proposed intervenors consider to be \"contrary to interests of the District.\" There is no reason for this Court to determine who represents the interests of LRSD. The voters have already done ' that. If the proposed intervenors disagree with the legal actions of the LRSD Board of Directors, the ballot box provides not only an adequate remedy, but the only 'remedy. 7. In the absence of an alleged constitutional violation, the exercise of federal jurisdiction to limit or control a school board's legitimate exercise of its statutory authority also offends the right of the State of Arkansas to exercise governmental power through the creation of political subdivisions such as school districts. Hunter v. City of Pittsburgh, 207 US 161 (1907); See also, Sailors v. Board of Education, 387 US 105 (1967). 8. The proposed intervenors \"are not entitled to intervene based merely on the belief that their representatives on the School Board are not aggressively 4 defending the instant lawsuit.\" Graham v. Evangeline Parish School Board, 223 F.R.D. 407, 435 (W.D. La. 2004); citing United States v. Franklin Parish School Board, 47 F3d 755, 757 (5th Cir 1995). The proposed intervenors have not overcome the \"presumption that government institutions represent the interests of the public at large.\" Graham v. Evangeline Parish School Board, 223 F.R.D. 407 at 435; citing United States v. Louisiana, 90 F.R.D. 358, 363-364 (E. D. La. 1981). The Second Amended Motion to Intervene should be denied. WHEREFORE, LRSD respectfully requests that the Court deny the Second Amended Motion to Intervene and grant it all other proper relief. Respectfully submitted, Christopher Heller (Ark.
