IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION RECEIVEtrl.~ FEB 2 2000 OfflCEOF DESEGREGATION MONITORma LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF v. No. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, et al. DEFENDANTS MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF MONITORING PLAN The Arkansas Department of Education hereby moves the Court for an order approving, as replacing and superceding the so-called\" Allen Letter,\" the Desegregation Monitoring and Assistance Plan (\"DMAP'') attached hereto as Exhibit A. The motion is made on the following grounds: 1. Pursuant to Section III.A. of the Settlement Agreement (as revised September 28, 1989), the State agreed, through the ADE, to monitor the implementation of compensatory education programs by the Districts and provide regular written monitoring reports to the parties and the Court. Section III.A. further provided that a plan for monitoring implementation of compensatory education would be submitted to the parties within sixty days of the date of execution of the Settlement Agreement. 2. On May 31, 1989, after a version of the Settlement Agreement had been executed but before the agreement was finally amended and revised on September 28, 1989, H. William Allen (counsel for the State Board of Education) sent a letter to the parties enclosing a monitoring plan (the \"Allen Letter\"). This Court has held that the \"Allen Letter\" constitutes the ADE' s monitoring plan under the Settlement Agreement and has directed that ADE monitor according to its terms. See this Court's order dated December 10, 1993. 3. Significant changes in circumstances warrant revision of the monitoring plan set forth in the Allen Letter. 4. The attached DMAP was developed in consultation with the parties. It is suitably tailed to the various changes in circumstance that have occurred since the Allen Letter was drafted and, if approved, will further the original purpose of Section III.A. of the Settlement Agreement in a more efficient and beneficial way. 5. The grounds for thi_s __ motion are ~ore fully set forth in the brief accompanying this motion. WHEREFORE, ADE respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion and enter an order approving the attached DMAP_as replacing and superceding the Allen Letter.

Markham, Ste. 510 Little Rock, AR 72201 3 Arkansas Department of Ed.ucatfon Desegregation Monitoring and Assistance Plan Section I Goals The goal of the Desegregation Monitoring and Assistance Plan is to ensure educational excellence and equity in the Pulaski County School Districts by monitoring, through the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE), the implementation of educational programs aimed at satisfactorily remediating racial, academic, and achievement disparities. This proposed Monitoring Plan will, if approved by the Court, supercede and replace the 1989 Monitoring Plan (the \"Allen Letter\") and formatting directives by eliminating unnecessary or redundant provisions, reducing the data collection and submission burden on districts, and ensuring that districts remain accountable for commitments made to quality desegregated education. To ensure the integrity of the monitoring reports, the ADE will continue to use the Standards of Educational Evaluation. The Standards for Educational Evaluation define four attributes of sound evaluation: 1. The utility of the evaluation to the audience to be served in relation to the problems they face; 2. The feasibility of the evaluation in terms of its efficient use of practical procedures; 3. 4. Section II Propriety, which calls for fair treatment of participants in the evaluation and ethical use of evaluation procedures and findings; Accuracy, which calls for obtaining valid, reliable and objective findings and reporting justified conclusions and recommendations. Purpose Monitoring by the ADE will be closely related to the identified needs and priorities of the school districts so that monitoring becomes an integral part of the accountability function of quality schools and districts. In particular, monitoring will focus on efforts to raise the standard for student achievement and reduce achievement disparities. The monitoring indicators are divided into five sections that are important for a high quality desegregated educational system: (1) achievement, (2) discipline, (3) staff development and technical assistance, ( 4) minority teacher recruitment and staffing, and (5) racial balance in enrollments. The purpose of the monitoring is to provide the means for determining whether the process is meeting its goals: that is, to determine how \"on target\" schools are by comparing achieved outcomes with intended ones. Exhibit A Page 1 Section m Achievement All students should perform at the proficient level as measured by the State-mandated criterion referenced assessments. All students should perform at grade level as measured by the State-mandated norm-referenced assessment. 1. The ADE will analyze achievement on the basic battery of the norm-referenced test, annually and longitudinally. Trends in educational performance will also be provided. 2. The ADE will analyze achievement on the criterion-referenced test annually and longitudinally to help schools determine the most critical areas of need. 3. The ADE will also analyze test scores to determine if racial academic disparities are being reduced. Analysis of achievement data will be conducted by the ADE and consultants hired by the ADE. Results of the analysis shall be used by the ADE and schools to:         Increase student performance. Communicate current levels of student performance to school customers. Assist in the orchestration of School Improvement Plans. Focus on reducing achievement gaps between black and white students. Identify group strengths and weaknesses in content areas. Ensure that prescriptive instructional assistance matches student needs. Determine the number of students who reach the proficient level in Math and Reading. Guide decision making about ways to improve student performance. After testing each year, monitors will determine the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Exhibit A Are plans in place to address areas of academic deficiency? Has the standard of adequate yearly progress been met? Is there significant disparity in the scores of black and white students? Are there more than 50% of the students achieving below grade level in mathematics and reading? How does the school's achievement compare to the state average and to schools with similar demographics? Is student achievement progressively improving? Page2 Section IV Discipline/Disciplinary Disparity Schools shall be organized and operated in a manner that creates safe, secure schools that are most conducive to student learning. The ADE will: I . Monitor the Annual Discipline Report Summary from each school district to determine if consequences for the same offenses are consistently applied to black and white students by reviewing disaggregated data by race, gender, offense, and total number of days suspended. 2. Review the suspension and expulsion rates. 3. Examine each school's implementation of their Disciplinary Management Plans to ascertain whether goals and objectives are being met. 4. Make recommendations as needed based on educational research, theory and best practice. Section V Staff Developmentff echnical Assistance - The State is committed to assisting with staff development, preparation, and support of educators whose primary focus is on student learning and who possess the knowledge, skills and the commitment to teach to high academic standards. The State will, through the Smart Start and School Improvement Programs assist in the collaborative development of staff development programs that ensure that instructional delivery models are aligned to student needs, state standards, and assessments. The State will also provide staff development based on needs identified as a result of the monitoring process. The ADE will: I. Monitor the district's evaluation component of staff development. 2. Collaborate with the Office of Pupil Personnel in each district in sponsoring professional development aimed at reducing the disparity in minority suspensions and expulsions with a special focus on schools with the highest disparity of discipline rates in each of the three districts. 3. Assist schools with analysis of assessment results and strategies for improved student performance. Exhibit A Page 3 4. Provide staff development on ways to recruit, retain and support teacher recruitment of minority teachers. 5. Provide staff development to schools through the Smart Start Initiative. 6. Assist schools in the alignment of the curriculum with State standards and mandated assessments. 7. Provide staff development on researched-based and proven model in reducing achievement and disciplinary disparities with demographics similar to schools in Pulaski County. 8. Provide assistance in curriculum and assessment in the identified targeted areas. 9. Ensure that the monitoring reports are useful, succinct, readable and understandable, by assisting districts in the use of five essential steps: (1) disaggregation, (2) analyzation, (3) interpretation, ( 4) communication and ( 5) utilization of report findings. Section VI Recruitment of Minority Teachers The quality of teachers is central to plans dedicated to improving student performance. The three districts in Pulaski County will need to recruit additional teachers, especially minority teachers due to retirement, and attrition. The ADE will remain committed to teacher recruitment through financial assistance for Minority Teacher Candidates, relevant job market information, and through the improvement of standards for teacher certification. The ADE will: 1. Maintain a current list of minority teachers and administrators who are seeking employment. This list should include certification areas, permanent addresses and phone numbers, and dates of availability. 2. Review the number of minority teachers hired each year. 3. Monitor the number of jobs offered to minority teachers. 4. Examine recruitment plans and efforts such as the job fair participation. 5. Assess racial balance in staffing by school and content/specialty areas. 6. Disaggregate the percent of classes taught by teacher on a deficiency removal plan. Exhibit A Page 4 Section VII Racial Balance1 in Enrollments The ADE will monitor to ensure that all students have access to a demanding curriculum, high quality instruction, and nourishing classrooms. The ADE will: I . Monitor school enrollment for racial balance in accordance with court-approved desegregation plans outlined for each district. 2. Review the enrollment of minority students enrolled in advanced placement (AP) and special education programs. 3. Evaluate the impact of interdistrict and intradistrict transfers on racial balance. 4. Review the enrollment or participation of minority students in special clubs, teams, and activities. 5. Analyze average daily attendance. 6. Review the completion rate. - Section IX Monitoring Process A. The monitoring process shall be conducted to ensure effectiveness of court ordered remedies and will include site visitations, review of plans, review of statistical and administrative data as well as responses from school personnel, patrons and students. B. Monitoring teams shall be selected by the Director of the. ADE. The team shall include ADE personnel and may include representatives of Intervenors and other educational consultants as designated by the Director. I The ADE recognizes that the Revised Desegregation Plan for the Little Rock School District (LRSD), does not require that every LRSD school be racially balanced, and that nothing in LRSD's Revised Plan shall be construed as requiring a particular racial balance at every LRSD school or as obligating LRSD to recruit students to obtain a particular racial balance in every LRSD school. Exhibit A Page 5 C. D. Section X The ADE will: Each district shall include in their school improvement plans appropriate objectives to achieve compliance with each court order related to the Agreement and recommendations made by the ADE. The ADE shall monitor annual school improvement plans through the Arkansas Consolidated School Improvement Planning Model (ACSIP) to determine progress toward achieving educational goals. District plans should provide evidence of compliance with court orders and a process to ascertain progress. Continuous, independent, systematic monitoring and evaluation are processes necessary for assuring and demonstrating the quality of desegregated education. However, each school and district will be encouraged to conduct internal evaluations prior to monitoring by the ADE. No system can achieve its potential and maintain a high level of service if it does not constantly assess its performance, and modify its practices accordingly to ensure internal accountability. Data Collection \u0026 Analysis 1. Collect, interpret, evaluate, and report the monitored data in a lucid, understandable manner so that the parties, the Court, the public, and ADE itself will have meaningful information that indicates the progress of desegregation, uncovers new or continuing problems, and points to needed changes. 2. Collect, analyze, and interpret selected data annually for every school in Pulaski County. 3. Examine the internal data collection and dissemination procedures annually with a view toward eliminating the duplicate collection of data throughout the monitoring process. 4. Use the desegregation monitoring process to help the Pulaski County schools meet their desegregation commitments and improve student achievement. Section XI The Reporting Process 1. The ADE shall provide a written report to the parties and the Court on an annual schedule. The report will be written by the ADE and in collaboration with consultants hired by the ADE. The report will be submitted on October 1 of each year. 2. The written report shall contain a description of the progress of the desegregation process in Pulaski County. Exhibit A Page 6 3. Analysis of data shall be conducted by appropriate ADE personnel and other persons as designated by the ADE Director. Additional data may be required of the districts, as deemed necessary by the ADE for the monitoring reports. 4. Since data analysis is essential to the monitoring process, the State requests the Court to instruct the three districts to provide the ADE all data necessary to implement the monitoring activities. 5. In accordance with Section III-A of the Settlement Agreement: Exhibit A (1) (2) (3) ADE will monitor independently of the other parties. ADE's monitoring will ensure that the State will have a continuing role in satisfactorily remediating achievement disparities. Any recommendations made by ADE shall not form the basis of any additional funding responsibilities of the State. Page 7 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION RECEIVED FEB 2 2000 OltlCE Of DESEGREGATION MONITORING LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF v. No. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO.1, et al. DEFENDANTS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF MONITORING PLAN The Arkansas Department of Education submits this brief in support of its motion for an order approving ADE' s proposed Desegregation Monitoring and Assistance Plan (\"DMAP\") as replacing and superceding the \"Allen Letter.\" As discussed below, significant changes in circumstances that have occurred since mid- 1989, when the Allen Letter was drafted, warrant revisions to the State's plan for monitoring the Districts under the terms of the Settlement Agreement The proposed plan, which was drafted with the cooperation and input of the parties and the ODM, is suitably tailored to the various changes in circumstance which have occurred since the Allen Letter was drafted and, if approved, will further the original purpose of Section ill.A. of the Settlement Agreement in a more efficient and beneficial way. As this Court noted in its November 5, 1999 order concerning the Magnet Schools (docket no. 3308), \"this Court may approve modifications of the Settlement Agreement when the proposed modifications merely alter details that do not affect the parties' substantive commitments to desegregation. . . . Ordinarily, parties should consent to such minor changes, but 'if a party refuses to consent and the moving party has a reasonable basis for its request, the court should modify the decree.\"' November 5, 1999 order, page 5. If, however, the proposed modification alters a basic agreement among the parties, the party seeking modification must show that a significant change in factual conditions or the law warrants revision of the decree. Id. (citing Rufo v. Inmates of Suffolk County Jail, 112 S.Ct. 748, 760 and fn.7 (1992); Appeal of Little Rock School District, 949 F.2d 253, 255 (8th Cir. 1991); and Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District, 56 F.3d 905, 914 (8th Cir. 1995)). Under either standard, a revision of the Allen Letter is warranted and the proposed DMAP should be approved by the Court. Significant changes in circumstances have occurred since 1989 that warrant revision of the monitoring plan set forth in the Allen Letter. At the time the Allen Letter was drafted and submitted to the parties, what was to become the final version of the Settlement Agreement and the Districts' individual desegregation plans had not yet been finally approved by the District Court and the Court of Appeals. Perhaps the greatest indicator of the change in circumstances that has occurred since 1989 is that since that time the Districts have been relieved of court supervision over various portions of their respective plans, and, in the case of the LRSD, this Court has approved a new desegregation plan that completely supercedes the LRSD's previous plan. Pending before the court is a motion for approval of new plan that would, if approved, supercede and replace PCSSD' s previous plans. Both the LRSD' s new plan and the PCSSD' s proposed new plan focus heavily on increasing student achievement generally, and reduction of achievement disparities in particular, as major plan goals. Further, the Settlement Agreement makes clear that one of the major reasons the State agreed to extensively monitor the Districts was that the Districts were scheduled to receive millions of dollars in additional funds under the Settlement in coming years for \"compensatory education\" programs. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, those additional funds are no longer being provided to the Districts. In 2 addition, at the time the Allen Letter was drafted the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals had not yet directed the establishment of the Office of Desegregation Monitoring, and while ADE does not contend that the creation of ODM supplants ADE' s monitoring obligations under the Settlement, it is worth noting that the Allen Letter was drafted at a time when there was no permanent office that could, as an arm of the court, regularly monitor and report on some of the same areas touched upon in the Allen Letter.1 Finally, and most important, ADE believes that experience of the parties in implementing their plans (as reflected in the various pleadings, testimony and other matters submitted to the Court, the reports prepared by ODM, the content of LRSD' s new plan and PCSSD' s proposed new plan, and the views expressed by the Districts during the process of drafting the DMAP) indicate that there are specific areas in which the Districts need or desire more focused monitoring and assistance from ADE than was called for in the Allen Letter. Experience has also shown that the Allen Letter and ADE's monitoring under it can and should be revised to be of more value to the parties and the Court. In its December 18, 1997 report on ADE's monitoring, the ODM outlined shortcomings in ADE' s previous efforts and provided suggested ways in which monitoring and reporting could be improved. In that report, among other things, it was noted that District staff members told ODM that Extended COE self-studies were helpful for the state-mandated school improvement process, but were not useful as a desegregation monitoring activity, and that previous monitoring reports produced 1 ADE obviously does not contend or intend that the DMAP, if approved, would limit in any way any monitoring or reporting activities that might be undertaken by ODM, the Joshua or Knight Intervenors, or the Districts themselves. Further, the DMAP, if approved by the Court, should not be construed as relieving the Districts of any other reporting or other requirements imposed by State law on all school districts in the State, nor should the DMAP be construed as prohibiting the ADE or other state agencies from collecting data from the Districts for other purposes, such as making reports to the Arkansas General Assembly or any of its committees. 3 pursuant to the Allen Letter were unduly voluminous and not conducive to assisting the Districts in developing strategies for quality desegregated education. ODM recommended, among other things, that ADE monitoring focus more on analysis and interpretation of data rather than mere data reporting; that ADE monitor all schools in the County annually; that ADE use, where available, data already collected by the State so as to avoid unnecessary duplicate collection of data as part of the desegregation monitoring process; that the practice of creating semiannual monitoring reports be reevaluated to eliminate duplications and omissions of information between the two reports; and that the monitoring process be more focused on helping the Districts meet their desegregation commitments. ADE took ODM' s report to heart and undertook its effort to develop a . new monitoring and assistance plan. All parties were invited to participate in all meetings in which drafts of a new plan were discussed, and the attached DMAP was thus developed in consultation with and with the input of the parties and the assistance of ODM. During the drafting process the Districts provided useful input on the specific areas in which monitoring, analysis, and assistance were needed. The parties also provided valuable input on monitoring activities and data collection under the Allen Letter that did not prove helpful to them or assist them in implementing their desegregation plans or improving student achievement. As recommended by the Districts and in ODM's December 18, 1997 report, the DMAP places more emphasis than the \"Allen Letter\" on analysis of data and providing assistance to enable the Districts to use the results of monitoring to improve student achievement, reduce achievement disparities, and meet other goals of their respective plans. The DMAP is thus superior to the monitoring plan outlined in the Allen Letter, is better tailored to current circumstances and the needs of the Districts as they implement their current desegregation plans, and will further the original purpose of 4 Section ill.A. of the Settlement Agreement in a more efficient and beneficial way. Accordingly, ADE, respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion and enter an order approving the DMAP as replacing and superceding the Allen Letter.

NO. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL. MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. JUDGMENT PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS By Order dated June 16, 1999, this Court first held that the three Pulaski districts were entitled to an award of prejudgment interest upon the previous award for teacher retirement and health insurance payments. That Order was reduced to judgment and was filed on July 28, 1999. On January 13, 2000, this Court held once again that the three Pulaski districts were entitled to an award of prejudgment interest upon the teacher retirement and health insurance payments due during 1998-99, the principal amount of which was paid by the State on September 2, 1999. The Pulaski disJricts have submitted a worksheet calculating the prejudgment interest due on those sums totaling $387,260.60 broken down as $232,356.36 to the LRSD; $116,178.18 to the PCS SD; and $38,726.06 to the NLRSD. The three districts have also calculated prejudgment interest on the sums owed to date by the State pursuant to the methodology submitted by the State on January 21, 2000. The Court has been advised that the three districts have no objection to the State's proposed calculation. 154769-v1 The districts have utilized March 1, 2000, as the assumed payment date for this interest. Pursuant to that calculation, which is done identically to the calculation for 1998-99, the districts calculate that they are owed the total sum of $103,202.51 and of that sum $61 ,921.50 would go to the LRSD; $30,960.75 to the PCSSD and $10,320.25 to the NLRSD. Accordingly, the districts are entitled to and are awarded prejudgment interest as set forth above. If the sums due as of March 1, 2000, are paid on or before March 1, 2000, the State will owe no additional prejudgment interest. However, in the event that the payment is not made on or before March 1, 2000, interest shall continue to accrue on the sums due and payable at the current Federal rate of 6.2870%. Inasmuch as the districts have agreed to the State's methodology for present and future payments of teacher retirement and health insurance benefits, it is further ordered and adjudged that the methodology submitted by the State shall be and shall continue to be the method by which such sums are calculated and paid to the districts and this methodology and timetable shall remain in effect pending further order of this court. 154769-v1 IT IS SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this_ day of February, 2000.

Mr. Poole made a brief presentation summarizing the intent and purpose of the application to the State of Arkansas for securing a charter for operation of a program for public school four and five year old students. William Broadnax, who serves as a consultant to the Harville's in this endeavor, also spoke to the Board at length regarding the goals and objectives which are detailed in the application. The Board agreed to review the application prior to the regular January Board meeting and to meet in a work session thirty minutes prior to the meeting on January 27th if there are any additional questions or concerns to be addressed to the Harvilles. IV. ACTION Residential Alternative Charter School Dr. Linda Watson presented a recommendation for authorizing implementation of the Elementary Residential Charter School for the 2000-2001 school year. The Board had, in previous action, approved the site and had authorized the process for selection of a Director. The Arkansas Department of Education had previously granted the District $10,000 for first-year planning, and a $47,000 continuation grant for second year planning initiatives. Dr. Carnine reported that the application was submitted to the Arkansas Department of Education in December 1999 and that the ADE had contacted him regarding a formal Board action authorizing a letter of intent. He indicated that the full application packet and additional details would be presented to the Board prior to the March meeting for final approval.

Discussion: Budgetary Funding/Campus Level Dr. Carnine indicated that additional funding for the local schools should be available as a result of funds received from the State due to increases in enrollment across the District. He indicated that additional information would be made available for review at the worksession, which is scheduled later in January, and that he would be asking the Board to approve additional funding for the schools at that time. Discussion: Advisory Board for District Foundation Dr. Carnine suggested that a 14 or 15 member advisory board be named to oversee the District's formation of a Fundraising Committee or District Foundation. After a brief discussion, the Board members agreed to a seven-person advisory committee to determine whether such a board should exist. Each Board member is to submit the name of one person to serve on this committee. Mr. Berkley made a motion to approve the formation of an exploratory committee for a fundraising or foundation board.

Sharon Faulkenberry, teacher at Rightsell Academy, will be assigned to the new Stephens School when it opens during the 2000-01 school term. She spoke in favor of the extended year program, and noted that this schedule will be of great benefit to student learning.

Funds would also be spent to implement requirements of the National Science Foundation grant, with the vast majority of that money being spent on graphing calculators and other math and science equipment. Dr. Mitchell spoke to the proposal, saying that she was supporting the expenditure of these funds, but that she still had concerns that the money should be spent in the schools where there was the greatest need. She noted that there are severe space and maintenance needs at some of our schools that should be addressed. Mr. Berkley made a motion to approve the allocation of additional resources. Dr. Daugherty seconded the motion and it carried 5-0. L Recommendation for Salary Schedule for Speech Pathologists The District's Speech Pathologists presented a proposal, through Dr. Richard Hurley, which would remove them from the L.R.

Dr. Mitchell moved to approve the recommendation to place the Speech Pathologists on a separate salary schedule. Mr. Berkley seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. J.

APPROVED: ~ J. 4 00 Baker Kurrus, Secretary , LITfLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS MINUTES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING February 10, 2000 The Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District held a special meeting on Thursday, February 10, 2000, immediately following the regular agenda meeting, in the Boardroom of the Administration Building, 810 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas. Vice President Katherine Mitchell presided. MEMBERS PRESENT: Katherine Mitchell Baker Kurrus Larry Berkley Mike Daugherty Mike Kumpuris Judy Magness MEMBERS ABSENT: Sue Strickland ALSO PRESENT: Leslie V. Carnine, Superintendent of Schools Beverly Griffin, Recorder of Minutes I. CALL TO ORDER Vice President Katherine Mitchell called the meeting to order at 5:56 p.m. Six members of the Board were present at roll call\nMs. Strickland was absent. II. PURPOSE OF THE MEETING The agenda for the special meeting listed the following items: Action: Wings of Eagles Charter Proposal Discussion: Proposal to Rename the Instructional Resource Center IV , SPECIAL BOARD MEETING February 10, 2000 Page2 III. ACTION Mr. \u0026amp; Mrs. Clarence Harville, Wade Poole, William Broadnax and James Lester attended the meeting on behalf of the Wings of Eagles Charter School. Board members expressed several concerns regarding support for this proposal and the Harvill es responded to questions and concerns. Some of the considerations and concerns expressed by the Board are noted below.  That the school would not promote the county-wide school desegregation efforts. (Mr. Broadnax responded that the 100-student capacity would not significantly impact the LRSD student population.)  Questions and concerns about plans to attract and recruit students. The area where the school is located would tend to promote a one-race student population. (Mr. Broadnax responded that they would \"aggressively\" recruit at-risk and economically disadvantaged students.)  On the issue of funding and eligibility for state monies, it was noted that the application did not specifically address how monies for early childhood and kindergarten programs would be kept separate.  The ADE requires that Charter schools be innovative and fiscally sound. The Board noted that the Wings of Eagle application does not provide evidence of either.  Concerns were expressed regarding providing services to special education students. In addition\nit was noted there is a significant Hispanic population in the area where the school is located and it was questioned whether ESL services would be included in the curriculum. (Mr. Broadnax noted that these services would be contracted out.) Mr. Kurrus made a motion that the Board disapprove the application for a charter as submitted by Wings of Eagle. Mr. Berkley seconded the motion and it carried 5-0- 1, with Dr. Daugherty abstaining. Under the rules and guidelines for Charter School of the Arkansas Department of Education, the Board is required to submit a letter of objection. The Board asked the Superintendent to have the letter prepared and submitted. A copy of that letter is attached to these minutes. , SPECIAL BOARD MEETING February 10, 2000 Page 3 DISCUSSION: Dr. Mildred McNair of Inglewood, California submitted a request for Board consideration to rename the Ish School/Instructional Resource Center after Attorney John W. Walker. Mr. Kurrus asked for a review of the District's policy for renaming facilities expressing some concern that Mr. Walker may not be aware of these efforts. Dr. Mitchell noted that the District had not ever renamed a facility that was previously named for an individual. Dr. Jefferson Ish, for whom the building is named, was a prominent African American physician in Little Rock who made many contributions to the community during the time he practiced medicine here. She feels that the current community still remembers Dr. Ish for these contributions and she would object to removing his name from this building. Mr. Kumpuris supported Dr. Mitchell's viewpoint and stated that although he has a high degree ofrespect for Mr. Walker and the work that he has done for desegregation in the three districts in Pulaski County, he noted that Mr. Walker's work is not complete. Mr. Walker still has a lawsuit pending against this school district and Mr. Kumpuris would ask the Board to consider this an inappropriate time to consider naming a building for Mr. Walker. Ms. Magness and Dr. Daugherty concurred with these statements. Dr. Daugherty further stated that, because we are still in litigation with Mr. Walker, naming of a facility for him could be construed as an attempt to influence Mr. Walker. He also suggested that the timing was inappropriate. The Board agreed by consensus to deny the request for naming the Ish facility for Mr. Walker. Mr. Kurrus invited further di~ogue for future consideration ofnarning a facility for Mr. Walker. It was agreed that a letter to Dr. McNair would be prepared noting the objections and reasons for denying the request at this time. V. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Board, Ms. Magness moved to adjourn at 6:30 p.m. The motion was seconded by Dr. Daugh,,e rty and carried unanimously. r ~Lfj?_c J[i_ Ll0u- JJ Sue Strickland, President APPROVED: J ,J.,4 ~oo \u0026amp; 1,t\n/1.1,1,... _ _, Baker Kurrus, Secretary February 11, 2000 Mr. Ray Simon, Director Arkansas Department of Education #4 State Capitol Mall Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Simon: The Little Rock School District Board of Education cannot support the proposed Wings of Eagle Charter School Academy. The reasons fall into the following four categories which are described in more detail below: educational\nfinancial\ninclusion issues\nand other legal issues. EDUCATION 1. One purpose of the Arkansas law allowing the creation of charter schools is to free the schools from the burdens of existing laws and regulations so that they can try new and innovative approaches to education. The educational programs described in the Wings of Eagle petition, however, are already in place in the Little Rock School District. 2. The exemptions from state law sought by the Wings of Eagle Charter School do not indicate intent to offer programs different from what can now be offered by public schools within the current restraints of state law. They seek only to use non-certified teachers and administrators, to contract out other staff positions, to employ a reduced salary scale, and to adopt a different school calendar. 3. The Wings of Eagle petition contains no plan for academic achievement. It states only that such a plan will be developed before the beginning of the school year in August, 2000. FINANCIAL IMPACT 1. No budget was included with the original Wings of Eagle petition. 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501) 324-2012 February 11, 2000 Page 2 2. A budget, which was later provided, seems to depend upon state financing of four-year-old students, something the state has been unwilling to do. 3. The Wings of Eagle representatives have indicated that they may seek daycare funding from the Department of Human Services and charter school funding from the Arkansas Department of Education for the same students. This may not be legally possible. 4. LRSD's regular state aid for the 2001-2002 school year would be reduced to the extent LRSD students choose to attend the Wings of Eagle Charter School. Additionally, the loss of LRSD students would jeopardize the District's growth funding which it has received from the Arkansas Department of Education for the last few years. INCLUSION ISSUES 1. There is a substantial likelihood that Wings of Eagle Charter School will be established as a racially identifiable school. LRSD cannot support the creation of a new racially identifiable school, which will have no significant plans or prospects for desegregation. 2. The neighborhood in which the Wings of Eagle Charter School would be established has a significant Hispanic population. The Wings of Eagle Charter School petition does not reflect adequate resources or an adequate plan for teaching ESL students. 3. The petition does not show that Wings of Eagle Charter School has the capability or the resources to include special education students in its program. OTHER LEGAL ISSUES 1. Private or parochial elementary schools that were in existence on July 30, 1999 are not eligible for open enrollment charter school status. The petitioners have been operating a four-year-old program with an educational component at the site designated for the charter school. There is an argument that the charter school petition would merely convert a privately funded four-year-old program into a publicly funded program and add a publicly funded kindergarten program. February 11, 2000 Page 3 2. Charter schools are not allowed to be religious in their operations or programmatic offerings. The petitioners presently operate a daycare program doing business as \"In His Image\" at the site designated for the charter school. It is not clear from the petition how any religious program offered at the site will be separated from the publicly funded charter school program. For these reasons, the Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District voted 5-0-1, to decline to support the petition for the Wings of Eagle Charter School. This motion will be found in the minutes of the meeting held on February 10, 2000. cc: Mr. \u0026amp; Mrs. Clarence Harville LRSD Board of Directors Respectfully submitted, tJ, n a/ ~u ~ \" Lesli~ f. Carnin-e ~- - - Superintendent of Schools LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Mildred McNair 2918 W. 101 51 Street Inglewood, CA 90303 Dear Dr. McNair: February 25, 2000 I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for submitting the request to rename the lsh Instructional Resource Center for Mr. John W. Walker. Our Board of Directors placed this item for discussion on the agenda of a special meeting held on February 10, 2000. Each of the Board members expressed interest in the biographical information provided in your proposal. Mr. Walker has certainly established himself as a leader in the efforts to provide a better educational opportunity for all of the children in Little Rock, Pulaski County and the State of Arkansas. The Board declined by consensus to rename the lsh Instructional Resource Center. Some of the reasons for this included the fact that the Instructional Resource Center was originally constructed as an elementary school and was named for Jefferson G. lsh, who was a prominent African American physician in the Little Rock community. One Board member in particular recollected that Dr. lsh saved her life as an infant and she would certainly object to removing his name from this educational facility. She also noted that there have been no instances where a facility previously named for one individual was renamed for another. As you requested, I am enclosing a copy of the minutes from our February 10 meeting. You will note that several Board members agreed that further dialogue for future consideration of naming a facility for Mr. Walker was entirely possible, but that any consideration would be after the current litigation is no longer before the Courts. Thank you for your interest in the Little Rock School District and I look forward to a time in the future when your proposal may come back before our Board for review and consideration.

Vic Anderson introduced Rose Thompson, who represents the Pankey Community Improvement Association, Inc. Dr. Anderson provided brief background information on the District's deeding of property to the Pankey Community and Ms. Thompson reported on the progress of construction of the Josephine Pankey Education Center.

He thanked Ms. Thompson for the report on the Pankey Community Center and offered to make a personal contribution to the construction fund. Dr. Mitchell reported that she had attended the Leaming to Cope with Differences workshop led by Dr. Terrence Roberts. She stated that the sessions teach about tolerance of others, and she encouraged the other Board members to take advantage of the training. REGULAR BOARD MEETING February 24, 2000 Page4 VL REMARKS FROM CITIZENS Dana Berry, member of the Campus Leadership Team at Terry Elementary School, asked the Board to support the proposed millage election and bond issue. She stated that Terry Elementary, as well as other schools in the District, were in critical need of improvements to the buildings and grounds. Brooke Ivey, student at Hall High School, also spoke in support of the millage campaign. She stated that progress is expensive and that a successful millage election would show students that they have the support of the community. She noted that improvements to the facilities could also impact the overall financial condition of the District by drawing students away from private schools. Deon Bennett, teacher at Mann Magnet School, remarked that she could provide perspective as a teacher and as a former student in the District, where the schools were in dire need of repair. She noted that at Mann the roof leaks, the restrooms are in poor condition, the science department had to be evacuated due to structural problems in that wing of the building, and that the computer equipment needed to be upgraded and enhanced. Tony Woodell, parent at Pulaski Heights Elememtary and a member of the Campus Leadership Team, stated that at PHE the staff, the parents and the teachers work together to do the best they can with what they have available. He urged the Board to support a millage election as a way of showing appreciation and support for the District's teachers and staff members, as well as for the sake of the students. Lillie Carter, principal at Pulaski Heights Elementary spoke as the president of the Principals' Roundtable. In that role, she stated that she was speaking on behalf of every child in every school. She encouraged support for a millage campaign to provide revenue to repair leaky roofs, replace old plumbing, resurface parking lots, replace worn carpet, upgrade electrical wiring, and to provide technology for student instruction. Angela Woolery, teacher at Hall High School, also spoke in support of a millage campaign. She stated that at Hall they are facing critical space needs. They are currently using portable buildings and there is not enough space in the cafeteria for the 1400 students to sit down to eat lunch. She also noted they would like to provide new band uniforms, choir robes, gym and physical education equipment and facilities, as well as basic technology needs. She stated that well-maintained schools increase self-esteem in students and leads to greater academic achievement. Dr. George Blevins, representing the Mitchell PTA and president of the Wright Avenue neighborhood association, urged the Board to move forward with a millage campaign. He noted many concerns that must be addressed at Mitchell as well as the other older school buildings in the city. He asked that the Board and administration to work toward better communication of how the funds will be spent. REGULAR BOARD MEETING February 24, 2000 Page 5 Henry Nesbitt, teacher at Williams Magnet School, asked the Board and the general public to support a millage campaign. He stated that the physical structures should be a high priority and that good teachers can do a better job of teaching students where they are in a safe and clean environment. Derrick Williams, student body president at Central High School, asked the Board to aim toward comfortability, accessibility and excellence in education. He noted how difficult these things are when the plumbing is old and ceilings cave in due to water damage and how hard it is for teachers to maintain a productive classroom environment when there are structural problems in the school. He asked the Board to ask the community for a millage. Nancy Rousseau noted that although the Pulaski Heights school facility is structurally sound, there are many basic improvements that need to be made. The Campus Leadership Team has identified a list of repairs and upgrades to technology that will provide for greater student achievement. She encouraged the Board to ask for the millage election as soon as possible. Ricky Jackson, Mitchell Elementary School PT A president, stated that the Mitchell PTA is 100% in favor of a millage election. He noted that Mitchell is one of the older buildings in the city and that they are in desperate need of repairs and improvements. He also stated that the Mitchell community was behind Darian Smith as the building principal and they were hopeful that he would be permanently assigned to that position. Leroy Ayers, parent of Mitchell School, also stated support for the millage election and support for Mr. Smith as principal. He noted that he currently has three children at Mitchell, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other family members. Barbara Jones, a parent of a Dunbar student, stated that her family had only moved here a few years ago. Moving into our community, she was surprised at the poor condition of some of the school facilities. She noted the historical significance of Dunbar, and urged the restoration and preservation of the building, as well as other improvements to the educational environment of that school. Jeannie Price, president of the PTA Council, stated that she was proud of the accomplishments the District has achieved over the past two years. She stated that the PTA would be behind a millage campaign 100% and they would work to see that the issue passed. The welfare of the children in our community is the main focus of PTA and technological improvements and the physical appearance of the schools should be the major focus in the campaign to gain community support in the election.

SECTION 5 - CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOLS B.!!.k-1..,_ Senior High Classification Cycle. The classification cycle shall occur in each two-year period in which schools are assigned to a conference. The cycle begins with an even school year (2000-2002, etc.). The classification of schools for sports in the senior high division shall be based upon the October 1 enrollment report to the ADE in grades 10-12. The enrollment from public schools shall be taken from the school's report filed with the ADE and shall be a three-year average of the October 1 enrollment. The nonpublic school enrollment figures multiplied by 1.35 shall be taken from a school's report to ANSAA at the end of the fiscally uneven year. Penalties - Classification of Schools A. Class AAAAA - The largest 32 schools. A statewide organization, not assigned to an activity district, but supervised directly by the AAA Board of Directors. Schools shall be assigned to the activity district compatible with each school's geographic location. B. Class AAAA - The second largest 32 schools. A statewide organization, not assigned to an activity district, but supervised directly by the AAA Board of Directors. Schools shall be assigned to the activity district compatible with each school's geographic location. C. Class AAA - The next largest 64 schools. D. Class AA - Basketball - The next 96 largest schools\nFootball - The remainder of football schools. E. Class A - Basketball - The remainder of football schools having an enrollment within Class A range shall be added to basketball conferences. F. Each conference in classes AAA, AA, and A is assigned to the activity district compatible with each school's geographic location. NOTE: Non-football schools larger than Class AA and A shall be assigned to a conference in the class indicated by their ADM. 8JJk..2..,. Junior High. Junior High schools shall be classified the same as their parent school except that schools not located within the principal population area (wing schools) may classify according to ADM of grades 7-9 instead of 10-12. B.uk..J.._ The ADM of schools with students all of one gender shall be doubled for classification purposes. BJ!1tl Schools whose enrollment is made up entirely of students selected on the basis of academic excellence shall participate with schools of the largest state classification in academic contests. SECTION 6 - ATHLETIC CONFERENCES Rule 1. Schools are assigned georgraphically to conferences by the AAA Board of Directors for each two-year cycle. Schools may be in a conference other than indicated by their location of their county in an activity district. A. In the event a conference has fewer than four schools declaring and participating in any sport, the Board of Directors of the AAA shall assign such schools to adjacent conferences for participation in meets, tournaments, playoffs, etc. The Board of Directors may 2000-2001 AAA Handbook - Page 21 Conferences  Conference Authority - Round Robin assign schools from adjacent conferences to such a conference, if approved by the school(s) being reassigned. Such assignments will be for one sport only and the term shall coincide with the two-year classification cycle. In making these assignments, the committee shall attempt to keep the size of the conferences equalized and at the same time avoid excessive travel. NOTE: When such assignments are made, the schools participating shall be responsible for determining fees necessary for conducting the meet, purchasing awards, etc., and fees as agreed upon by the majority shall be paid to the di rector of the event before a school is eligible to compete in the activity. B. Classification groups, when approved by the AAA Board of Directors, may organize on a statewide basis for selected athletic activities and such groups shall not be assigned to activity districts for administrative purposes in these sports, but shall be responsible directly to the AAA Board of Directors. C. A member school shall be permitted to change from one conference to another if it does not exceed the limitation on numbers, upon consent of each of the conferences involved by a two-thirds majority vote. This shall apply to all sports in which the school participates that are under the jurisdiction of the conference. D. A member school may petition the AAA Board of Directors for assignment to a classification higher than the one indicated by its average daily membership report. Upon approval of this request the Board of Directors will assign such a school to a conference in the new class. E. Any school choosing to participate independently from their conference assignment in any sport shall be required to participate independently in ALL sports offered by their school. B.Y.k..l.. Conference Authority A. Conferences shall organize, elect officers and adopt rules and regulation to conduct conference interscholastic events as provided by the AAA Handbook. Such rules and regulations may be more restrictive, but not less restrictive than and not in conflict with, the rules and regulations of the AAA constitution and bylaws. B. Each conference shall be responsible for furnishing awards. C. Each conference shall make regular financial reports, at least annually, to its member schools. D. Conferences shall have the responsibility of working with schools to see that schedules are arranged prior to June 1 in football and October 1 in basketball so that each new school may have the opportunity of playing Page 22 - 2000-2001 AAA Handbook the required number games. The conferences shall have the responsibility to set the date of the first game to be counted for the championship. B.uk...1,_ Determining Round-Robin Champions A. Conferences may use round robin scheduling for determining conference champions, certifying teams to state events or seeding of tournaments on a percent basis of games won and lost if two-thirds of the conference schools approve. B. Any school failing to schedule a conference opponent or refusing to play a conference opponent without just cause shall forfeit the contest and shall not be eligible to compete for a championship in that sport. If one or more schools involved is agreeable to scheduling, such school(s) may select from their schedule a non-conference game with an equal or higher class for a substitute game. The AAA director may approve a substitute game with a school of equal or higher classification, prior to the beginning of the season, for a school that establishes just cause for failure to schedule. C. In the event a game that is a part of the conference round robin schedule to be used for certification of teams or seeding of a tournament is unavoidably postponed and cannot be rescheduled before the date the schedule is to be completed, the placement of the teams who failed to play the required game(s) in the final order of standings shall be accomplished by two computations. First, the teams shall be placed in the order on the basis of round robin games actually played. Then each team shall be charged a loss of each game not played and the standings order adjusted accordingly. In the event the latter adjustment causes the team(s) involved to tie with another team(s) in the order, the procedure for breaking ties shall be applied to choose the team to receive the highest placement. D. Conferences may also use round robins to certify the winner to a state event and\nin basketball, may require a tournament for certification of the other team(s). E. In the event a school chooses not to participate in the basketball round robin schedule such school shall be permitted to participate in the basketball tournament and shall be inserted into the seeding order determined by the round robin by a vote of schools participating in the round robin. Bl!.1tl Conference Ties in Football A. If two teams tie, and one of the teams has defeated the other in a regular schedule conference game, the winner shall be declared the conference playoff representative. Three or more tied teams shall first be considered in sets of two-way ties. B. If two teams tie and the tied teams split or have not played each other in a conference game(no round robin) the team with the greater sum of winning margin, using the following point system, shall be the playoff representative. C. If more than two teams remain tied after applying (1) above, the following point system shall be utilized to eliminate all but two teams. Tabulate the sum of the winning margins of each team's conference games as indicated in the following: 1. If the margin of victory is more than 13 points only 13 points shall count. 2. Losses shall be tallied as O (zero) points. 3. Forfeited games. Offended teams shall receive 13 points when tabulating the sum of the winning margins for breaking conference ties. D. After tabulating the sum of the winning margins, all teams except the two with the greater sum shall be eliminated and the selection process shall begin again with paragraph(A). E. If teams remain tied after the above procedures are applied, the playoff representative shall be determined by a coin toss. The coin toss, supervised by the Executive Director, shall be used to eliminate all but two teams and then begin again with paragraph (A). F. In the event the conference is eligible for more than one playoff representative each subsequent playoff representative shall be chosen by reapplying the procedures above. G. All conferences will use the AAA adopted procedures for breaking ties that occur in the order of standings when round robin schedules are completed. R.u.k.2,_ Basketball Tie Breaker Rule (Classes A-AA-AAA-AAAA-AAAAA) If two teams are tied from regular season conference play, tie breaker procedures will be: 1. Head to head in regular season conference play 2. If the two teams have a split margin of victory between the two teams, with a maximum of 10 points per game 3. If the two teams are still tied, all winning conference game points, with a maximum of 10 points per game 4. If the two teams are still tied, a coin flip by the Arkansas Activities Association's Executive Director will decide seeding. Conference Ties If three teams are in a three-way tie from regular season conference play, tie breaker procedures will be: 1. Head to head competition. If one team has been defeated by one of the other teams twice, they would be eliminated. The two remaining teams would go to step two listed above for two teams that are tied. If step two does not break the tie, step three would follow, then step four. If three teams are tied and each team has split ( or a perfect triangle), tie breaker procedures will be: 1. Margin of victory in all conference games, with a maximum of 10 points per game, would be used. Example: A=50, B=49\nC=38 If you have one spot in the bracket team A would go If two spots were on the bracket teams A and B would go If three spots were on the bracket teams A, B and C would go If four~ teams are tied the margin of victory in all conference games would be used, with a maximum of 10 points per game. The two teams with the highest amount of points would be decided by head to head competition. If these teams had split victories, the team with the highest points would receive the spot for the first team (if both tied with the same amount of points, a coin toss would be used to decide the first team). This procedure would continue until all spots were filled. Example: Teams A, B, C, D, E are all tied from regular season conference play. A margin of victory in conference play was: A=68, 8=60, C=58, D=50, E=40 A and B would go head to head. If they split A would receive the spot in the bracket. If more than one spot was available B and C would go head to head. If they had split B would receive the spot on the bracket. This would continue until all spots on the bracket were completed. \u0026amp;!k.....i._ Conference Championships in Baseball, Softball and Soccer Determining Conference Champions/Playoff Representatives 1. Head to head competition is always the first consideration. In case of ties the following procedure shall be followed: A. If two teams tie, head to head in conference competition is always the first consideration. If one team has defeated the other team (once or twice) that team shall be the representative. B. If two teams tie and each team has beaten the other in conference play the two teams' margin of victory against each other will decide the conference representative. 2000-2001 AAA Handbook - Page 23 Conference Championships - Classification of Students C. If the two teams are still tied, the sum of the winning margins of each team's conference games with a five run limit shall be used. (In forfeited games the offended team shall receive five runs.) D. If the two teams are still tied, a one game playoff at a site agreed upon by both teams will be played. The winner will be declared the playoff representative. E. If two or more teams tie, head to head competition will first be used (if one team has defeated one or more of the teams twice in conference play this will eliminate these teams, unless two positions are available). The two or three remaining teams would go to head to head competition and the margin of victory against each other. If this did not decide a playoff representative, a coin toss by the Executive Director of the Arkansas Activities Association will be used. 1. If two positions are available and one position is decided from the above mentioned methods, the two remaining teams will be: a. Decided by a margin of victory against each other. If the two teams are still tied: b. A margin of victory not to exceed a five (5) run difference for baseball and softball and a one (1) goal difference for soccer against all conference opponents will be used. If a winner is not determined, a coin toss by the Executive Director of the Arkansas Activities Association will determine the playoff representative. \u0026amp;!k..L. Conference Championships in Volleyball If a tie results it shall be broken by the first of the following procedures which is successful in doing so: 1. Head-to-head competition between the tied schools\n2. Game record in head-to-head competition\n3. Actual point spread of head-to-head games\n4. A playoff match between schools involved in the tie. If there is a three-way tie, the schools shall draw for the numbers 1, 2 and 3 which shall identify each school to begin the playoff with 1 playing 2 and 3 playing the winner. The winner of the final match will be the first conference seed with the opponent being the second seeded team and the loser of the first playoff match being the third seed. This procedure shall be applied in the same manner if four teams are tied. After drawing numbers, 1 would play 4 and 2 would play 3, after which winners would play one another for the first seeded position. The loser of Page 24 - 2000-2001 AAA Handbook this match will be the second seeded team. If more than two teams are to advance to the state tournament, further elimination play would be conducted for third and fourth seeds. BfilU Football Conference Schedules A. Any school contending for a conference championship must have its schedule in the office of the conference president and the AAA no later than August 20. Games scheduled after that date shall not count in conference standings. B. Schools moving into a new classification must be given the provilege of contending for the championship the first year of each classification cycle. SECTION 7 - CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS 8J!k..L.

ARnCLE Ill - EUGIBIUTY INTRODUCTION Participation in competitive interscholastic activities as a part of a school's educational program is a privilege and not a right. The eligibility rules of this association are designed to promote the educational values derived from participation in interscholastic activities, prevent exploitation of youth by special interest groups and to ensure that interscholastic activities shall remain an integral part of the educational program. Students wishing to participate in interscholastic activities shall have the opportunity to become eligible for these activities when they meet ill eligibility rules. They will remain eligible for the opportunity to participate provided they .d.2....n.Qt: (1) exceed any limitations, (2) fail to meet any minimums, or (3) violate any other rules of the association. They may, however, regain their opportunity to participate at a later date by correcting any deficiencies which caused the ineligibility. NOTE: Students who exceed the junior high age rule or junior high semester rule limitations shall have the opportunity to be eligible for senior high activities. NOTE: Students who exceed the senior high age rule or the senior high semester rule limitations shall have no further opportunity to be eligible. Eligibility rules apply to students in grades 7-12 inclusive\nspecific rules for junior high schools apply to students in grades 7-9 inclusive\nspecific rules for senior high schools apply to students in grades 9-12 inclusive. In the rules that follow, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular as the context requires or permits. Where appropriate, personal pronouns refer to either gender. Rule 1. RESIDENCE: 1. A student's eligibility for interscholastic athletics shall be in the public school district of the parent's residence. Refer to other residence and transfer rules for limitations and situations. The AAA recognizes only one residence for eligibility. A change in residence consists of a complete and bona fide move from one domicile to another. 2. A student may meet the residence requirement at another AAA member school after attending said member school for one calendar year (365 days from initial Eligibility  Residence  Transfers enrollment). 3. A student shall also meet the residence requirement if the student receives a legal transfer from one public school to another (release and acceptance respectively by the boards of both schools). Transfers must take place prior to Labor Day. 4. Member schools accredited by the Arkansas Nonpublic School Accrediting Association shall be required to have student eligibility boundaries which will be limited to the county in which the school resides and/or a 25-mile radius of the school. Students who live outside the boundaries may participate in all AAA sanctioned athletic events as long as they have been enrolled in the nonpublic school before Labor Day of the 10th grade year. Those enrolling after Labor Day of their 10th grade year may not participate in interscholastic athletics for 365 days from the first day of their enrollment. LEGAL ATTENDANCE: A student's eligibility for interscholastic athletics with respect to the residence rule may be in the public school that the student is legally attending at the beginning of the fall semester, provided attendance is not for athletic purposes. Refer to other residence and transfer rules for additional limitations and situations. NON-SCHOOL COACH: A student transferring, moving or, for any reason, attending a new school where the student's non-school coach is the school coach, or is anyone assisting in any capacity with the coaching or training of the school team, is presumed to be attending for athletic purposes, if the student participated in athletics the previous year. TRANSFERS: 1. Students changing schools under the Freedom of Choice law, transferring other than legal transfers (both boards agreeing) or any circumstances other than residence rules 1 through 3 above is assumed to have changed schools for athletic purposes if the student participated in athletics the previous year. 2.

The Committee encouraged ODM, the parties and the ADE to continue to work toward revision of the monitoring and reporting process. In August 1998, the ADE Implementation Phase Working group met to review the Implementation Phase activities for the previous quarter. The Assistant Attorney General, the Assistant Director for Accountability and the Education Lead Planner updated the group on all relevant desegregation legal issues and proposed revisions to monitoring and reporting activities during the quarter. In September 1998, tentative monitoring dates were established and they will be finalized once proposed revisions to the Desegregation Monitoring Plan are finalized and approved. In September/October 1998, progress was being made on the proposed revisions to the monitoring process by committee representatives of all the Parties in the Pulaski County Settlement Agreement. While the revised monitoring plan is finalized and approved, the ADE monitoring staff will continue to provide technical assistance to schools upon request.

Actual as of January 31 , 2000 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. 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 81 st 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 81 st 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. On September 9, 1997, a meeting was held to discuss the review of the statutes passed in the prior legislative session and new ADE regulations. 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. 15 IV.

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. The committee met on May 24, 1999 at the ADE. The committee was asked to review within the existing legislation any regulations that might result in an impediment to desegregation. The committee determined that Mr. Ray Lumpkin would contact the Pulaski County districts to request written response to any rules, regulations or laws that might impede desegregation. The committee would also collect information and data to prepare a report for the State Board. This will be a standing committee. This data gathering will be ongoing until the final report is given to the State Board. On July 26, 1999, the committee met at the ADE.

Representatives from each grade level, fine arts specialists, and instructional specialists were nominated by their peers and agreed to serve as Steering Committee members during the five-year school improvement planning process. The first Steering Committee meeting was held on March 23,1999 for the purpose of identifying the Steering Committee chairperson, target area chairs and co-chairs, and the persons who would assist in data collection and disaggregation. The Steering Committee also developed a draft of Belief Statements. The second Steering Committee meeting was held on April 6,1999 for purpose of refining the Belief Statements draft and to develop a Mission Statement draft. Both the Belief Statements draft and Mission Statement draft were presented to the Booker Arts Magnet School faculty for their consideration on April 12,1999. The staff approved the proposed Belief Statements and Mission Statement. 7On April 20,1999, the third Steering Committee meeting was held for the purpose of reviewing disaggregated data on student achievement\", attendance, suspensions, and the CCOE survey results from the 1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99 school years. Tentative target areas were identified. but the selection of target areas was postponed until after a May 17,1999 technical assistance meeting with Mr. David Watts. On May 17,1999, Mr. David Watts, Field Specialist for the Arkansas Department of Education, met with Steering Committee members during their fourth meeting to provide technical assistance. Mr. Watts suggested that the Steering Committee collect additional data on attendance and ! discipline before finalizing the selection of target areas. The first Steering Committee meeting of the 1999-2000 school year was held on September 21,1999. Additional data on attendance and discipline were examined as suggested by Mr. Watts. The areas of improving reading achievement, improving math achievement, implementing a character education program, and improving student attendance were selected as the four target areas for the ACSIP plan. Target area committees were structured to best address the selected areas. New school improvement 8plan forms were presented to the Steering Committee. The second Steering Committee meeting for the 1999-2000 school year was held on September 29,1999. This meeting was a joint meeting of the CCOE Steering Committee and the ACSIP Steering Committee. Specific instructions about conducting target area committee meetings and completion of the school improvement plan forms were given. The dates of October 4.1999 and October 11,1999 were selected as planning meetings for target area committees. Target area committees consisting of faculty members and parents developed goals, interventions, and strategies to address the four target areas. Preliminary plans were presented to the Campus Leadership Team on October 19,1999 for review and revision. A second technical review by Mr. bavid Watts and other AbE staff members was held on November 3,1999. Suggestions for changes identified during the technical review were shared with target area committees. Revisions were made, resulting in the completion of the ACSIP School Improvement Plan. 9REVIEW OF DATA An analysis of the data collected in the AC SIP process assisted faculty members in the selection of target areas for the school improvement plan at Booker Arts Magnet School. The data included archival, achievement. and perceptual information. The archival data were collected through surveys, school records, and district records. This data Included information on faculty members. students, and parents. Additional archival data on attendance and discipline were examined. Achievement data were gathered from the Stanford 9 test. Grade 4 Benchmark Exam, and Little Rock School District Criterion- Referenced Test. Perceptual data were gathered by surveys. Input from parents, teachers, and students was obtained through these surveys. A review of the data indicated several areas of concern. A review of the achievement data indicated concerns about the disparity between the achievement rates of minority and non-minority students. Further analysis indicated areas of need in Reading Vocabulary and Comprehension, as well as Mathematics Problem Solving and Procedures. An analysis of archival data indicated an increase in the suspension rate of students over the last three-year period. The Third Quarter 10Average Attendance had been variable over the same period. An analysi s of the achievement of chronically absent students indicated that a high percentage of these students were below grade level in achievement. This finding confirmed the faculty's belief that attendance greatly impacts student achievement. An examination of the perceptual data indicated concerns about students treating others with respect and students obeying school rules. This perceptual data was gathered from parents, students, and teachers over the last three years. This review of data caused four target areas to be readily apparent. The following four target areas were selected by the Steering Committee and approved by the faculty for the ACSIP School Improvement Plan\nImprove Student Achievement in Reading and Writing Literacy Improve Student Achievement in Mathematics Implement Character Education Increase Student Attendance 11DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY Booker Arts Magnet School is located in Little Rock, Arkansas.

During this meeting, the committee disaggregated achievement data, identified achievement disparities between subgroups of students, and discussed areas of the reading curriculum in which students were not performing at the \"proficient\" level. The Reading and Writing Literacy Committee also met on October 11,1999 and November 15,1999. An analysis of the Grade 4 Literacy Benchmark Exam data for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years indicated that a significantly lower number of minority students scored at or above the \"proficient\" level than did non-minority students. A significantly higher percentage of black females, white males, white females, and other females scored at or above the \"proficient\" level during the 1998-99 school year than did students in those subgroups during the 1997-98 school year. However, the percentage of black male students scoring at or above the \"proficient\" level in 1998-99 dropped from 1997-98. The percentage of other male students scoring at or above the \"proficient\" level remained the same. In 1997-98, 20% of all students scored at or above the \"proficient\" level on the Grade 4 Literacy Benchmark Exam. In 1998-99, 397o of all students scored at or above the \"proficient\" level, an increase of 197o (See Table 1). The Reading and Writing Literacy Committee recognized that two different groups of students were given the Grade 4 Literacy Benchmark Exam,, and the analysis of test scores did not indicate individual student achievement growth. However, the results did indicate trends in achievement and identify areas of need within the curriculum that should be oddressed. An analysis of the Grade 5 SAT 9 achievement data also indicated that minority students scored significantly lower than non-minority students. A significantly higher percentage of black females, white males, and other females scored at or above the 50^** percentile on the Total Reading score in 1999-2000 than did students in those subgroups during the 1998-99 school year. However, the percentage of black males, white females, and other males scoring at or above the 50^* percentile on the Total Reading score in 1999-2000 dropped from 1998- 99. A comparison of the Total Reading scores for fifth grade students in the 1997-98,1998-99, and 1999-2000 school years revealed a decrease in the percentage of black male and white female students who scored at or above the 2050*** percentile, an increase in the percentage of white male students who scored at or above the 50^* percentile, and no long-term Increases or decreases in the percentage of black female students who scored at or above the 50^*' percentile. The numbers of other male and other female students were so small that a comparison of the percentage of these students who scored at or above the 50 ,th percentile was not statistically significant. In 1997-98,40% of all students scored at or above the SO^** percentile on the Total Reading score. In 1998-99, 35% of all students scored at or above the 50^* percentile on the Total Reading score, a decrease of 5%. In 1999-2000, 37% of all students scored at or above the 50 ith percentile, an increase of 2% over the previous year (See Table 2). Seventy-two percent of all students scored average or above in Vocabulary in the 1997-98, 1998-99, and the 1999-2000 school years. In 1997-98, 65% of all students scored average or above average in Comprehension. In 1998-99, 76% of all students scored average or above in Comprehension, an increase of 11%. In 1999-2000, 667o of all students scored average or above in Comprehension, a decrease of 12% (See Table 3). Upon analyzing this data, the Reading and Writing Literacy Committee recognized that most of Booker's students were scoring in the second quartile on Vocabulary and Comprehension. Attention should be given to address the needs of the \"bubble group\" of students. Once again, the committee recognized that three different groups of students were tested these three years and utilized the data to identify curriculum needs. An analysis of the Fourth Quarter Criterion Reference Test administered in 1998-99 indicated the following percentages of curriculum mastery of all students: Second Grade 66%\nThird Grade 76%\nFourth Grade 727o\nFifth grade 86%\nand Sixth Grade 84% (See Table 4). An examination of Criterion Reference Test results for the second, third, and fourth quarters indicated areas of need in curriculum and instruction, as well as measuring growth in achievement for individual students. An analysis of the spring 2000 ALT Reading scores indicated that second, third, and fifth grade students at Booker Arts Magnet School scored an average of three points higher on their RIT score than did their peers across the Little Rock School District. Likewise, Booker Arts Magnet School's fourth grade students' average RIT score was two points higher than that of fourth graders across the district. It was the consensus of the Reading and Writing Literacy Committee that improving instruction and addressing areas of need within the curriculum would 21 cause student achievement to increase and disparity to decrease. The committee then began to closely examine the reading and writing programs in use at Booker Arts Magnet to determine whether they appropriately addressed the needs of students. Assessing the success of the reading and writing programs at Booker Arts Magnet School actually began during the 1997-98 school year as a part of an annual review in our school improvement process. At that time, the staff recognized the need to provide as much individualized instruction for our low achieving readers as possible while also challenging readers of all reading levels to read a better quality of literature and to develop a life-long love of reading. A team of staff members (primary teachers, intermediate teachers, reading teachers, a curriculum specialist, and the principal) reviewed professional journals and held discussions with colleagues across the Little Rock School District and the state of Arkansas in an effort to find a way to better meet the needs of the students at Booker Arts Magnet. After much discussion and consultation with Little Rock School District reading supervisors, the team agreed to closely examine three programs for possible implementation at Booker Arts Magnet. These programs were the Accelerated Reader program, the Reading Recovery program, and the Success for All program. Next, the team decided to visit schools to observe implementation of the programs. The principal scheduled visits at three schools identified by Little Rock School District reading specialists as successfully implementing the selected programs. Pulaski Heights Elementary (Accelerated Reader), Romine Interdistrict School (Success for All), and Williams Basic Skills Magnet (Reading Recovery) were visited in the winter and spring of 1997-98. After much discussion, the team came to the consensus that the Accelerated Reader program would challenge all students to enjoy reading better literature, and the Reading Recovery program would allow the staff to better meet the needs of low-achieving readers. The team shared its findings and recommendations with the staff during an April 10,1998 staff meeting. The staff endorsed the recommendations of the team, and planning began for full implementation of both programs during the 1998-99 school year. The two reading teachers began Reading Recovery training in August 1998, and the media specialist and a curriculum specialist attended an Accelerated Reader/Reading Renaissance conference in June 1998. Materials and supplies were purchased and received. Three first grade teachers also began Early Literacy Learning in Arkansas (ELLA) training in August 1998. The ELLA program seemed to work hand-in-hand with the Reading Recovery program to meet the needs of beginning first grade readers. By the end 22 of the 1998-99 school year, first grade teachers and Reading Recovery teachers observed significant progress in reading among first grade students. School-wide, staff members observed students experiencing a renewed interest in reading for recreation as result of the Accelerated Reader program. They observed students selecting more challenging literature and taking pride in passing tests designed to check their comprehension of trade books. Because of the success observed during the first year of implementing the Reading Recovery program, the decision was made to request two additional Reading Recovery teachers and to purchase additional materials for the Reading Recovery program and for the ELLA-trained teachers. All kindergarten through second grade teachers who had not received ELLA training were trained in July and August of 1999. The new Reading Recovery teachers began their three-year training in August 1999. The successes observed during the first year of implementing the Accelerated Reader program led to the purchase of additional books, tests, and computers. These computers were placed in fourth and fifth grade classrooms to facilitate comprehension testing. After the Reading and Writing Literacy Committee examined the reading achievement data and current research, they reached a consensus to continue implementation of the Accelerated Reader and Reading Recovery programs as two interventions for the annual School Improvement Plan and the ACSIP School Improvement Plan. In addition, the committee selected Effective Literacy as a third intervention to improve reading and writing achievement among students at Booker Arts Magnet School. Research indicated that children who do not experience success in reading early in their academic life are at a distinct disadvantage when compared to their peers who read successfully. Dorn, French, and Jones stated that children who do not read successfully by the end of their third grade year find it very difficult to catch up with their peers in later years (Dorn, et al. 1998). In fact, the probability that a poor reader in first grade will remain a poor reader by the end of fourth grade is 88 percent (Juel 1988). Barr and Parrett (1995) emphasized the importance of all children learning to read successfully by the end of third grade. Early intervention is crucial to the success of educationally disadvantaged children. The Reading Recovery program was developed by Marie M. Clay as an alternative to traditional reading programs for educationally disadvantaged and learning-disabled children (Lyons 1991). Reading Recovery is based on the belief that early intervention is critical to preventing reading failures (Dorn, et al. 1998). The Reading Recovery program was designed to accelerate learning so that low- 23 achieving readers could catch up with peers on reading achievement. The Reading Recovery program also helped students to develop reading strategies that facilitated further improvement in their reading abilities (Bracey 1996). A study of twelve widely implemented reading reform programs found that the Reading Recovery program provided student-directed learning experiences for low- achieving readers. Teachers developed individual learning plans for students that were tailored to the students' abilities and academic backgrounds. They utilized adaptive instructional strategies to diagnose learning difficulties. The tutoring sessions also allowed for frequent high quality academic and social interactions among teachers and students. Assessments were directly aligned with the curriculum. Teachers involved parents by having them reinforce skills with their children at home. High expectations were evident throughout the program (Pinnell 1995). Research indicated that reading practice has a direct correlation to reading achievement. Reading practice data and standardized achievement test scores were examined in a study of 4,498 students in grades one through nine. Study results indicated, \"Reading practice was found to cause more reading growth for poorer readers than for more advanced readersalthough reading practice improves reading test scores for all ability groups\" (Paul 1992). In addition, increases in reading achievement positively impact performance in other subject areas. In a 1993 study, Paul found that \"increases in reading ability transferred to increased math performance. The reading fallout ratethe improvement in math caused by reading was a very high 68%\" (Paul 1993). The results of recent studies indicated that implementation of the Accelerated Reader program positively impacted student achievement and increased library circulation. A 1998 study in the Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District found significant increases in reading and writing proficiency scores and doubling of the library circulation attributed to the implementation of Accelerated Reader in four elementary and middle schools (Osbourne and Adams 1998). A 1997 study at Grant Elementary School in Muscatine, Iowa indicated that the mean reading comprehension scores increased from the 40^ percentile to the 70^^ percentile, the library circulation increase by 500%, and attendance increased from 92% to 96% as a result of implementation of the Accelerated Reader program (Brooks). Marie M. Clay, the developer of the Reading Recovery program, stated, \"For children who learn to write at the same time they learn to read, writing plays a significant part in the early reading process\" (Clay 1975). Nationwide, educators 24 have recognized that writing instruction is an essential component of a successful language arts program, born, French, and Jones stated, \"Children's cognitive processes are validated and activated during meaningful collaborative writing H (born, et al. 1998). The Reading and Writing Literacy Committee recognized that the improvement of writing skills was essential to the improvement of reading skills. With that in mind, the committee searched for an Intervention that would compliment the other interventions, as well as ELLA and Animated Literacy. Effective Literacy was selected. The Arkansas bepartment of Education Homepage (10-26-98) described Effective Literacy as, \"instruction in the reading and writing processes that provides a balance between explicit instruction of skills and strategies and application of this instruction in reading and writing experiences\" (AbE 1998). Effective Literacy focused upon the instruction of phonetic skills and strategies, decoding high frequency words, word attack skills, word analysis skills, vocabulary development, and comprehension skills and strategics. The writing process was an essential component of Effective Literacy. Frequent assessments, classroom management and organizational skills, and parental involvement were also components of Effective Literacy (AbE 1998). The Reading and Writing Literacy Committee recognized the need for selecting interventions for improving reading and writing literacy that would match the unique needs of Booker Arts Magnet School's students and compliment existing components of the language arts program. The Accelerated Reader program would challenge readers of all ability levels and at all grade levels to select, comprehend, and enjoy quality literature. The Reading Recovery program would focus primarily on meeting the needs of low-achieving first grade readers on an individual and small group basis. Reading Recovery would also be available to low-achieving readers in kindergarten and second grade. Effective Literacy would focus on improving the reading and writing skills of third and fourth grade students. ELLA would be utilized with kindergarten, first, and second grade students. Animated Literacy would be utilized with kindergarten students. With the implementation of these interventions and the continuation of existing programs, the staff at Booker Arts Magnet School has great expectations for the improvement of reading and writing literacy for all students. 25School Joseph R.

TMir Staff Development $4,000 for books Pat Busbea Gail Hester PRE PRE PRE 5 j'V'' $4,000MATHEMATICS NARRATIVE The first Mathematics Committee meeting was held on October 4,1999. The committee examined disaggregated achievement data from several sources, identified achievement disparities between subgroups of students, and discussed areas of the mathematics curriculum in which students were not performing at the *1 proficient\" level. The Mathematics Committee also met on October 11,1999 and November 18,1999. An analysis of the Grade 4 Mathematics Benchmark Exam data for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years indicated that a significantly lower number of minority students scored at or above the \"proficient\" level than did non-minority students. A significantly higher percentage of white males, white females, and other females scored at or above the \"proficient\" level during the 1998-99 school year than did students in those subgroups during the 1997-98 school year. However, the percentage of black males, black females, and other males scoring at or above the \"proficient\" level in 1998-99 dropped from 1997-98. Thus, the achievement gap between minority and non-minority students increased in 1998-99. In 1997-98,17 % of all students scored at or above the \"proficient\" level on the Grade 4 Mathematics Benchmark Exam. In 1998-99, 24% of all students scored at or above the \"proficient\" level, an increase of 7% (See Table 5). As in the area of reading achievement, the Mathematics Committee recognized that the test data was gathered from two different groups of students and did not indicate individual student growth. However, the analysis of data indicated areas of need within the curriculum and instructional methodology. An analysis of the Grade 5 SAT 9 achievement data also indicated that a significantly higher percentage of black females, white males, and other females scored at or above the 50^** percentile on the Total Math score in 1999-2000 than did students in those subgroups during the 1998-99 school year. While not statistically significant, a higher percentage of white females scored at or above the 50^** percentile on the Total Math score in 1999-2000 than did the white females in 1998-99. The achievement rate of black male students remained the same for 1999-2000, and the percentage of other male students scoring at or above the 50^^ percentile on the Total Math score dropped. A comparison of the Total Math scores for fifth grade students in 1997-98,1998-99, and 1999-2000 school years revealed a decrease in the percentage of black male students who 33 scored at or above the 50^** percentile and an increase in the percentage of black female, white male, and white female students who scored at or above the 50^*' percentile. The numbers of other male and other female students were so small that a comparison of the percentage of these students who scored at or above the 50^^ percentile would not be statistically significant. In 1997-98, 20% of all students scored at or above the 50^ percentile on the Total Math score. In 1998- 99,18% of all students scored at or above the 50^*' percentile on the Total Math score. In 1999-2000, 31% of all students scored at or above the 50^^ percentile, an increase of 13% (See Table 6). In 1997-98,73% of all students scored average or above on Problem Solving. Sixty-three percent of all students scored average . or above on Problem Solving in 1998-99, a decrease of 10%. In 1999-2000, 667o of all students scored average or above on Problem Solving, an increase of 37o. In 1997-98, 36% of all students scored average or above on Procedures. In 1998-99, 38% of all students scored average or above on Procedures, an increase of 27o. An increase of 6% occurred in 1999-2000, with 447o of all students scoring average or above on Procedures (See Table 7). Further examination of this data indicated that most of Booker's students were scoring in the second quartile in Problem Solving. Once again, attention should be given to address the needs of this \"bubble\" group of students. While the SAT 9 data from the 1998-99 and 1999- 2000 school years measured the achievement of two different groups of students, it also provided valuable information needed to address curriculum and instructional needs. An analysis of the Fourth Quarter Criterion Reference Test administered in 1998-99 indicated the following percentages of curriculum mastery for all students: Second Grade 87%\nThird Grade 75%\nFourth Grade 18%\nFifth Grade 55%.\nand Sixth Grade 54% (See Table 8). An analysis of the Spring 2000 ALT Math scores indicated that second grade students at Booker Arts Magnet School scored an average of four points higher on their RIT scores than did their peers across the Little Rock School District. Likewise, Booker Arts Magnet School's third and fifth grade students' average RIT scores were two points higher than that of third and fifth graders across the district. Fourth grade students at Booker Arts Magnet School scored an average of one point higher on their RIT score than did fourth graders across the district. It was the consensus of the Mathematics Committee that improving instruction and addressing areas of need within the curriculum would cause student 34 achievement to increase and disparity to decrease. First, the Mathematics Committee examined the existing mathematics program at Booker Arts Magnet School to determine what could be done to increase its effectiveness. The committee members felt that the increase in enrollment of primary students and the Little Rock School District adoption of the TERC mathematics program during the 1999-2000 school year necessitated providing additional support to the classroom teachers. Next, they brainstormed strategies that would provide additional support to classroom teachers. The committee suggested that the part- time mathematics teacher's position be increased to a full-time position. The principal requested that the Magnet Review Committee increase the math teaching positions at Booker Arts Magnet School to two full-time positions. The Magnet Review Committee approved the increase in math teaching positions. The committee then reviewed current research to identify interventions that would positively impact student achievement in the area of mathematics. Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde reviewed successful mathematics programs across the nation and reported their findings in \"Best Practice: New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America's Schools\". They found that successful mathematics programs, \"frequently utilized manipulatives, concrete materials, and real-world situations for optimal learning. These are the contexts that make understanding of mathematical ideas possible and provide a bridge to the more abstract symbolism that has maximal power and usefulness\n(Zemelman, et al. 1998). They further observed, \"The need to make decisions based on numerical information permeates society and provides motivation for working with real data\", making a strong statement in favor of utilizing more meaningful, real-life problems in mathematics instruction (Zemelman, et al. 1998) The Mathematics Committee surveyed the research concerning the instruction of math procedures in an effort to develop an intervention to address this need. They found that current research in mathematics emphasized the need to focus primarily on problem solving and the development of problem-solving strategies rather than the memorization of facts when providing instruction to students. Issacs and Carroll cautioned educators, \"We must remember that successful education involves both basic skill and higher-order processes\" (Issacs and Carroll 1999). They further stated, \"Helping students make connections between school mathematics and the real world, helping students develop conceptual understanding as well as procedural skills, helping students learn to explain their thinking and to understand others' explanationscan be achieved 35through a program that also leads to fact mastery\" (Issacs and Carroll 1999). Rathmell agreed, \"...teaching children thinking strategies facilitates their learning and retention of basic facts\" (Rathmell 1978). Researchers offered several suggestions for implementing facts-based instruction. Issacs and Carroll recommended asking students to solve a problem without telling them how to solve it (Issacs and Carroll 1999). Carpenter recommended direct modeling (Carpenter, et al., 1993). Oral or mental counting strategies were recommended by several researchers (Resnick 1983, Carpenter and Moser 1984, Baroody and Ginsburg 1986, Siegler and Jenkins 1989). Thornton and Smith recommended asking children to share their problem-solving strategies with each other (Thornton and Smith 1988). Brownlee and Chazal found that delaying drills resulted in better understanding and less need for drill (Brownlee and Chazal 1935). The Mathematics Committee recognized that children enter kindergarten with varying degrees of proficiency in mathematics. This knowledge, coupled with the desire to provide the most relevant learning experiences in mathematics by using real-life experiences, prompted the committee to consider the various ways parents could reinforce mathematics instruction In the classroom by involving children in mathematical experiences at home. The committee then reviewed current research about utilizing parents as resources in mathematics instruction. Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde suggested having a Parents' Night as a means of informing parents about changes in the mathematics curriculum or program. They also suggested the Parents' Night as a means of helping parents to create materials to work with their children at home and to help them recognize materials they have already have available in their home to work with their children (Zemelman, et al. 1998). They stated, \"Parents and the home environment of children of all ages can provide the richness of materials and opportunities for latent mathematical thinking to flourish\" (Zemelman, et al. 1998). While parents might first feel reluctant to assist their children in mathematical practices at home, Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde recommend that educators encourage parents to serve as resources to the school. They stated, \"In general, parents need only the desire to involve their children in talking and thinking about the meaningful and relevant mathematics they encounter each day\" (Zemelman, et al. 1998). They further suggest, \"Perhaps the best way for parents to help their children with mathematics is to send the clear message through their words and actions that mathematics is all around us, it is a vital part of our lives, and it is understandable with some effort. Let's do it together\nit can be fun\" (Zemelman, et al. 1998). 36The Mathematics Committee selected providing real-life math experiences, providing additional support for classroom instruction, and providing more effective instruction in the area of math procedures as interventions for improving student achievement in mathematics. The committee recognized the important role that parents play in their child's education and planned to utilize them as resources in mathematics instruction. 37School Joseph R.

During this meeting, the committee disaggregated suspension data, examined attendance and achievement data of suspended students, and discussed areas of concern identified by parents, students, and teachers on the School Climate Survey. The committee also identified the criteria for a student to be considered at-risk\" for developing behavior problems during a school year. \"At- risk\" was defined as having one or more office referrals during a school year. The Character Education Committee also met on December 13,1999, March 7, 2000, and April 13, 2000. An analysis of the suspension data for the 1996-97,1997-98, and 1998-99 school years indicated an increase in the number of students suspended and a decrease in the total number of suspensions over the three-year period. In 1996- 97, 23 students were suspended for a total of 70 suspensions. In 1997-98, 25 students were suspended for a total of 64 suspensions. In 1998-99, 33 students were suspended for a total of 51 suspensions. However, in 1999-2000, only 14 students were suspended for a total of 15 suspensions. (See Table 9). The data analysis also revealed a decrease in the average number of suspensions per suspended student over the four-year period. In 1996-97, the average number of suspensions per suspended student was 3.4. The number dropped to 2.5 in 1997- 98. In 1998-99, the average number of suspensions per suspended student dropped to 1.5. In 1999-2000, the average number of suspensions per student dropped to 1.1 (See Table 10). Additionally, the committee examined suspension rates for the 1996-97,1997-98,1998-99, and 1999-2000 school years. In 1996- 97, 3.8% of students received suspensions. The number increased to 4.3% in the 1997.98 school year. In 1998-99, 5.4% of students received at least one suspension. In 1999-2000, 2.6% of students received at least one suspension. (See Table 11). This comparison revealed a slight increase in the suspension rate over the first three years and a significant decrease in the fourth year. The Character Education Committee examined attendance and achievement data for each student suspended during the 1996-97,1997-98, and 1998-99 school years. This analysis indicated that 100% of students who had been suspended and who were excessively absent were below grade level. In addition, the Character Education Committee examined School Climate Survey results for the same three-year period\n1996-97,1997-98, and 1998-99. 44The following common areas of concern for parents, students, and teachers were identified\n\"Students treat other students with respect\", \"Students treat teachers with respect\", \"Students take care of and respect their own property and that of other students\", and \"Most students obey the rules\". School Climate Survey results for the 1999-2000 school year indicated that \"Students show concern and respect for each other\" were among the top concerns of students and teachers. The Character Education Committee was pleased that school-wide interventions had resulted in a decrease in the total number of suspensions and a decrease in the average number of suspensions per suspended student over the three-year period. However, the increase in the number of students receiving suspensions (from 23 to 33) during the same time period was identified as an area of concern. The examination of attendance, achievement, and suspension data also indicated another major area of concern. School Climate Survey results from the 1996-97,1997-98,1998-99 and 1999-2000 school years also consistently identified the areas of mutual respect among students, respect for teachers, and compliance with school rules as common concerns among parents, students, and teachers. The committee examined the overall program at Booker Arts Magnet School to determine how to address areas of concern related to school climate and how to continue the trend of decreasing student suspensions. The Character Education Committee then began to examine current research on modifying student behavior and working with \"at-risk\" children. Research confirmed the impact of student behavior on the climate of a school. Langlois and Zales stated, \"...controlling behavior is the first requirement for creating an environment in which instruction could occur\" (Langlois and Zales 1991). Lipsitz described successful schools for young adolescents as being, \"environments that promote social development. They assume social development to include a multitude of characteristics\nself-discipline, industriousness, respect for authority, perserverance, patience, honesty\" (Lipsitz 1984). Societal changes over the last few decades have caused schools to have to reevaluate traditional methods for controlling student behavior. These societal changes have also greatly influenced children. Astin reported, \"over the last two decades, adolescents have become more concerned for their own personal well-being and less concerned for the well-being of others\" (Astin 1987). Lickona defined character education as, \"the deliberate effort to cultivate virtue\" (Lickona 1999). He further stated, \"To be effective, character education 45 must be comprehensive, intentionally making use of every phase of school life as an opportunity to develop good character\" (Lickona 1999). The Character Education committee concurred with Lickona and began looking at character education programs in use across the nation. They began with the premise that they would either select or create a character education program for Booker Arts Magnet. One committee member was enrolled in a graduate course on character education at University of Central Arkansas and shared information gathered from her coursework. The committee also received feedback from two staff members who had attended a Character-Centered Teaching workshop in December 1998. The committee also requested to make site visits at schools that were successfully implementing character education programs. The principal contacted Margaret Crank at the Arkansas Department of Education and asked her to recommend successful programs to visit. Site visits were made to Gardner Primary School in Hot Springs on February 28, 2000 and Lakewood Elementary in North Little Rock on March 1, 2000. The committee quickly reached consensus to implement Character-Centered Teaching beginning in the 2000-2001 school year. The Character Education Committee also felt that additional materials needed to be purchased to support the implementation of Character-Centered Teaching. As a result, increasing the amount of character education materials available to teachers was identified as another intervention. Additionally, the Character Education Committee felt that some direct intervention needed to take place with students identified as at-risk for developing behavior problems. Targeting at-risk students with an intervention program became another intervention for the reduction of suspensions and the improvement of school climate. The Character Education Committee identified tasks to be completed prior to the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year and worked to complete those tasks in July and August 2000. The committee has also requested to have the opportunity to visit Gardner Primary School again at the beginning of the 2000- 2001 school year. 46School Joseph R.

In 1999-2000, 2.6% of students received at least one suspension. In the 1996-97,1997-98, and 1998-99 school years, 100% of students who were chronically absent and who had been suspended from school were below grade level in achievement. 47CCOE survey results for the 1996-97,1997-98, and 1998-99 school years indicated that Students treat other students with respect\", \"Students treat teachers with respect\", \"Students take care of and respect their own property and that of other students\", and Most students obey the rules\" were areas of concern for parents, students, and teachers. Goals: At least 987o of Booker Arts Magnet School's students will be suspension free. At least 95% of Booker Arts Magnet School's suspended students will receive only one suspension per year. One-Year Benchmarks: At least 97.5% of Booker Arts Magnet School students will be suspension-free (an increase of 1 student) during the 2000-2001 school year.

During this meeting, the committee examined attendance data for all students, achievement data for excessively absent students, achievement and attendance data for suspended students, and attendance data for staff. The Student Attendance Committee also identified the criteria for a student to be considered excessively absent during a school year. \"Excessively absent\" was defined as being absent 16 or more days during a school year. These absences could be excused absences, uncxcused absences, or a combination of both kinds of absences. The Student Attendance Committee also met on October 11,1999 and November 29, 1999. An analysis of attendance data indicated that 13% of students were excessively absent in 1996-97,11 % of students were excessively absent in 1997-98, and 8% of students were excessively absent in 1998-99 (See Table 12). The Average Daily Attendance for 1996-97 was 578.5 students. The Average Daily Attendance in 1997-98 was 593.6 students. In 1998-99, the Average Daily Attendance was 606.4 students (See Table 13). The percentage of student attendance during the third quarter of 1996-97 was 96.29%. The Third Quarter Average Attendance for 1997-98 was 95.06%. In 1998-99, the Third Quarter Average Attendance was 96.18%. In 1999- 2000, the Third Quarter average attendance was 96.57%. The average Third Quarter average attendance for these years was 96.03. (See Table 12). An examination of the achievement levels of currently enrolled students that were excessively absent during the 1996-97,1997-98, and/or 1998-99 school years indicated that 28% of the students were at or above grade level in achievement. Seventy-two percent of currently enrolled students who were excessively absent one or more of these years were below grade level in achievement. Early Prevention of School Failure scores, SAT 9 Basic Battery scores. Little Rock School District Criterion- Referenced Test scores, and Grade 4 Benchmark Exam scores were utilized to assess achievement. Analysis of the attendance, achievement, and suspension data indicated that 100% of suspended students who were excessively absent were below grade level in achievement. The Student Attendance committee also analyzed data on staff attendance for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years. Data for the 1996- 97 school year was not available. The attendance rate was based on the number of sick leave and personal leave days taken per staff member compared to the number of contracted workdays. The analysis for the two- year period indicated a consistent rate of attendance among staff members95% for both the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years. The data was disaggregated by grade level, subject area, and position to determine whether patterns of absenteeism existed. In summary, the Student Attendance Committee was concerned about the percentage of students who were excessively absent while also recognizing that this percentage had declined each year. The committee felt that improving the attendance of excessively absent students would positively impact their student achievement. The committee also decided to refer the matter of improving staff attendance to the building level and district level administrators for their consideration. The Student Attendance Committee next began to closely examine components of Booker Arts Magnet Schools attendance program to determine how the existing program might be improved to increase student attendance. In order to identify interventions that would most likely be successful in improving student attendance, research was reviewed. The survey of research confirmed the impact of student attendance on academic achievement. Hegner stated, \"The success of the educational process depends on the presence of pupils in the classroom, continuity of instruction, class participation, and well-planned instructional activities under the guidance of a competent insti^uctor\" (Hegner 1987). Ediger concurred, \"When students are tardy or absent.. .sequential learning cannot occur, subject matter and skills cannot be developed, and much student talent is wasted\" (Ediger 1987). Ratigan and Kube stated, \"Students who are absent from class miss out on significant educational opportunities.. .Absenteeism costs billions of dollars due to lost instructional time\" (Ratigan and Kube 1991). Research confirmed that a correlation does exist between student attendance and academic achievement. A study conducted at North Scott High School in Eldridge, Iowa revealed that classroom teachers recognized that their students' academic achievement improved due to increased daily attendance (Ratigan and Kube 1991). Research identified two elements that were common to programs successful in encouraging student attendance. Bolos and Lincoln agreed with 53Kubc and Ratigan that parental involvement was essential to the success of attendance programs (Bolos and Lincoln 1983, Kube and Ratigan 1991). The use of incentives to improve student attendance was determined to be successful according to Bolos, Lincoln, and Goldman (Bolos and Lincoln 1983, Goldman 1989). Goldman reported another significant result of implementing a program to increase student attendance, \"Aside from the obvious benefits of having the kids in school consistently, the notion of heightened awareness about attendance has spread into a more general attitude of improved scholastic achievement\" (Goldman 1989). The Student Attendance Committee selected targeting chronic absentees with an intervention program, providing incentives to students to encourage perfect attendance, and involving parents in encouraging perfect attendance as interventions for improving student attendance. It was the consensus of the committee that students have to be present to maximize learning. Kube and Ratigan summed up the observations of the Student Attendance Committee by saying, \"With absenteeism down, learning can only go up!\" (Kube and Ratigan 1991). 54School Joseph R, Booker Arts Magnet School Improvement Plan Year 2000-2001 Priority 4: Increase Student Attendance Supporting Data: In 1996-97,137o of students (78 of 603) were excessively absent (absent 16 or more days). In 1997-98,11% of students (66 of 597) were excessively absent.

Today's east Little Rock's George Washington Carver Magnet Elementary, built in 1988, has evolved into a beautiful facility with twenty - four classrooms and eleven specialty areas. The foresight of the founders and the relevance to our theme of mathematics and science education allowed us to keep the name in honor of Dr. Carver who dedicated his life to serving mankind. Carver Magnet Elementary is located in a lower socioeconomic, predominately black community in the industrial section of east Little Rock. The process of restructuring the original Carver Elementary to the present Carver Magnet Elementary has been a challenging yet rewarding experience for all of those involved.

After changes in the school administration, we continued the process with completion in March of 1995. At that point, all staff signed a commitment to the new pl^. After four full years under the approved COE plan, we as a staff feel that the plan has worked and been successful. As we start our final year of this COE cycle we want to review and evaluate our plan to define which areas have been successful and to align our goals with the needs of our students. The goals set forth in the COE plan involve\nClear School Purpose, Positive School Climate, Momtormg and Assessment of Student Achievement and Parent and Community Involvement.

This school improvement plan reflects the current policy of only fifth grade students being assessed. Testing has also changed from 1 spring of the year to the fall. With this change in mind, achievement data was gathered using the SAT9 for the past three years from the fifth grade students. Data was also gathered for the Benchmark Exam that is given to the fourth grade students in the spring.  the After viewing the videotape from Doug Reeves concerning the importance of data driven goal making, the staff analyzed the results of the SAT9 and the Benchmark V* AIIU (lie\nJUCIIVIII Exam.

Harkey Aug. 00 nLETTER TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS On the reverse side of this letter you will find some basic data about David O. Dodd Elementary School. The Developmental Reading Readiness Assessment was begun last school year. This was a result of the switch in programming required by the state. Our school begins in Pre-K to develop the skills necessary to develop sound reading skills. Small guided reading groups, interactive writing between teacher and student, lots of hands on time for both independent and large group reading allows the students to see, hear and interact with words, language, reading and writing strategies. This continues through the 2 grade and picks up in 3* grade with a more intense and focused emphasis on writing skills. Self-expression through daily journal writing and creative stories enhances the skills they will need for 4*^ grade. These strategies are tested on the statewide ACTAAP test given in May of the 4* grade school year. McRat Multicultural higher level thinking skills build on what the student has learned in the previous years and focuses on critical thinking, predictions of story outcome, analysis of character development and subjective writing. This encourages the student to use these specific skills across the curriculum in social studies, science and other c_or_e su_bje_ct_ ar_ea_s a*t the c5t*h grade lleAivzeail , uw/kh{i\u0026lt;c\u0026gt;hh prepares ssftuiiddeennttss for the next level of their education. The math program is the result of a multi- million-dollar grant received by the LRSD to enhance critical thinking and broad-based math understanding. Problem solving is a major strategy as students work in-groups where the right answer is any way it can be solved! It is not like the cut and dried math any of us grew up doing in school! If you have any questions about the curriculum or any part of the initial school report please do not hesitate to call me. The statewide report card should be released and sent to you in midOctober. / I School Name: Teachers'i 21 Attendance: David 0 Dodd EXernentary Support Staff: 6 92.21% (% of average daily attendance\nmaximum = 100%) (Enro Ilmen tT 232 ] Developmental Reading Readiness Assessment - % of students in grades K-2 who have developed appropriate reading readiness skills for their grade level: Kindergarten: 86.5% First Grade: 63.3% Second Grade: 89.65% of F I'A Members Last Y ear: 232 % ot I'eachers with Masters iJegree: 50.1% [Volunteer Hours Last Year: 3,545 1 [% of I eachers with 9 + Years ot l eaching Lxpenence: 51^ [ 94% Discipline \u0026amp; Safety - % of students NOT receiving a reportable discipline sanction: (By state law discipline sanctions must be reported and include acts involving drugs, assaults, alcohol, weapons or gangs\ndistrictwidc, fewer than 2% of our students were involved in these types of offenses.)

SUCCEED rips from educators Have you ever heard the expression \"Well begun is half done'? One secret to a successful school year is to set good routines right from the beginning. How can you help your child become more successful in school? We asked educators from across the country to share their Ideas. here are some tips from teachers and administrators. Take time to make time \"One key to success is to follow a schedule, ' says one school superintendent, \"Children need a schedule they can depend onone that includes definite times for homework, meals, and sleep. Then they can work around those times to include the extras.* An elementary school principal suggests, Limit TV A and video games.' Decide j how much of z this kind of free time to allow and stick to It. Otherwise, these activities can consume too much of children's time. Read, read, read fchool Uniform/ needed If you hove uniforms that your child/children con no longer wear, please consider donating them to the school closet. We have distributed most of what ve had on hand. We can use all sizes. Thank you for all you do for Forest Pork School. You have really helped us ide for so many students. A reading teacher offers this reminder. \"Continue to share reading with children, even after they can read by themselves. This allows them to enjoy stories that may be too difficult for them to read alone. For variety, try reading newspapers, magazineseven the comic strips. You'll send the message that reading is important.' Check into it An elementary teacher recommends, \"Take a few minutes every day to look at what your child brings home from school. You'll probably see work that teachers thought was important enough to send home. Talk about the schoolwork together. This shows that you care about the things your child spends most of the day doing.'

If so, introduce yourself with a short note, telling a little something about your child. Also, ask the teacher to contact you if your child needs any help. l^dd it up! Coupons that you don't use at the store can give your child math practice. Spread them out on a table. Then take turns asking each other questions such as, 'How much will we save if we buy this brand of toothpaste?' Did You Know? There is good news for teachers, parents, and kids. Compared to students around the world, American Fourthgraders are among the best in math and science. (Source: Third International Mathematics and Science Study) Spanish classes are off to a great start. We have been singing and speaking in Spanish since the first day of school. The older students remember so much from last year and the youngest are picking up words and phrases quickly. We are listening carefully to the ending sounds of Spanish words and our Spanish accents are good. There will be many students members of the Parrot Club (for excellent Spanish pronunciation). We have learned two songs to help us with greetings and farewells. We sing to them in each class, we also practice v4th the calendar, review the word of the week in Spanish and recite our class motto. Second graders are demonstrating their beautiful writing in sentences about themselves, which we will share with children in Argentina. Third graders are studying about communities in Spanish and in their classrooms. We will build a model of a commu- .lity in Spanish class. Fourth grade will study continents, oceans and land forms. Fifth graders have already written and performed short skits in Spanish. They will begin a unit on the Olympic Games. Gracias to all parents and teachers and muchas gracias to the PTA for making the Spanish program possible. Nuestra escuela es Numero Uno! ving room. student Council 0ecttorvirill ^i^eli^ in late_S^teiT Health Room News We hope you had a fun, healthy summer and are ready for some successful learning and grov/th here at Forest Park. The big news for most of you is the change in the immunization requirements. 1) All students now are required to have a 2nd Measles vaccF nation - MMR on your immunization record. This had been required by 7th grade in past years. Check your records and get the MMR If It is missing. Warning: a few doctors and their staff are not aware of this yet. Don't let them turn you away. Many local doctors. Health Department, ACH, and Baptist After Hour Clinics hove been busy giving the vaccine this past month. 2) All K and Pk must have proof of the Chicken Pox (Varicella) vaccine called Varivax or proof of having the disease. PK also must have Hep B and HIB. We need for everyone to comply with the new regulations so we are not forced to start excluding students from school. Contact Mrs. Janssen if you have questions. We will start screening for hearing and vision in the next month. If you hove any old glasses (Adult and Children) sitting around the house, please donate them. There are organizations that can put those to good use for those in need. Any medication sent to school must be In the original container and have a written note from the parent or guardian. We will give only medication that must be given during the school hours. Most 3 times a day medicines can be given am. afterschool, and bedtime. It is always a good idea for the parent to bring the medicine and to pick it up from school. Thanks for your cooperation.

We are learning and practicing school, classroom, cafeteria and playground rules. First graders are working hard and having a great time learningl Mrs. Isroff Mrs. Wenger From the Principal continued... Problem? Try the Team Approach What can you do If you don't agree with how a teacher is handling a problem? First, try talking with the teacher. There may be another side of the story you haven't heard. It's best to avoid putting down the teacher In front of you child. Why? Because your child may develop a negative attitude toward school. Instead, you can teach respect by supporting the teachereven if you don't agree with the decision. 2ND GRADE We hope everyone had a wonderful summer. We are ready for a new year In Second Grode. We have a new reading and math series. The theme in reading is \"Celebrate Me\". The theme in math is mathematical thinking. The Agenda Book is very important.

Pulaski Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72206 501-324-2121 Executive Summary i Middle Level Evaluation Over time research has documented the diverse needs of middle level students, however recently there has been a dearth of knowledge concerning the implementation of the Carnegie Turning Points recommendations (Irvins study as cited in Seghers, Kirby, \u0026amp; Mesa, 1997\nMilgrams study as cited in Seghers, Kirby, \u0026amp; Mesa, 1997\nAnderman \u0026amp; Urdan, 1995\nJenkins \u0026amp; Jenkins, 1995). Recent studies have focused on evaluating middle level progress and in particular the implementation of the Carnegie Turning Points recommendations (Ward, 1998\nSeghers, Kirby, \u0026amp; Meza, 1997). Seghers, Kirby, and Meza (1997) reported low levels of Turning points implementation in Louisiana schools. However, a high level of implementation was reported in schools with low teacher turnover. The National Association of Middle Schools (Research Brief #3, 2000) affirms the lack of consistent and valid research in the field. Small studies using similar variables have reported divergent results. However studies using a meta-analysis or longitudinal design have reported consistent results. The meta-analysis design combines small studies, using similar variables, into one study. This design increases the sample size and power. A longitudinal design establishes baseline data, collects data on the same variable over time, and compares longitudinal to baseline data. Several research studies using the meta-analysis and in particular the longitudinal design (i.e., on-going and long term) have provided consistent results which indicate that schools with high levels of Turning Points implementation have greater student achievement, behavior, and socio-emotional outcomes (Research Brief #3, 2000). 15^ Experts in the field of program evaluation agree that relying solely on achievement data as a measure of success is inappropriate (Clark \u0026amp; Clark, 1995). Middle level evaluations should be designed to provide a variety of information to be used by teachers and other district personnel to model personal responsibility in questioning and reflecting on ones own work, and to show growth over time so that students, teachers, and other stakeholders can know and understand individual progress (Wolf, 1989). Research Brief #2 (2000), published by the National Middle School Association, recommends that evaluations should determine best practices, identify goals, and specify outcomes, processes, and inputs. Current practices should be compared to Ijaseline data and evaluations should include participation, performance, and perception data. The Little Rock School Districts strategic planning process delivered the message that as a result of discipline problems, declining enrollment, below-average academic achievement, and failing community confidence in the junior high program^ a need had been created for a middle level program based on the Carnegie Foundations Turning Points recommendations. Section 3.4 of the Revised Desegregation and Education Plan calls for the establishment of a middle level program consisting of grades 6, 7, and 8. The response to the Section 3.4 mandate was the Bonds October 1998 approval of the Middle Level Program Standards based on the Carnegie J 1recommendations. Beginning with the 1999-2000 school year, the Little Rock School District (LRSD) transitioned its eight junior high schools, grades 7- 9, to eight middle level schools, grades 6- 8. Completion of the first year of transition is an appropriate time to begin the ongoing evaluation process through the collection of baseline data. Participation, performance, and perception data for this report will address the concerns expressed during the strategic plaiming process. The following data will be reported through out the evaluation process: =\u0026gt; Participation Data  Enrollment  Percent of new teachers  Ethnic composition =\u0026gt; Performance Data .. i*  Attendance  Dropout rates  Discipline data  Stanford Achievement Test, 9* edition (SAT-9)  State Benchmark Exam  LRSDs criterion-referenced tests  LRSDs Achievement Level Tests (ALTs) Perception Data  Student and teacher perception  Stakeholder perception comparison data comparison data comparison data comparison data comparison data comparison data comparison data baseline data baseline data baseline data initial data collection to be gathered, 2000-2001 Participation Data. Middle level school enrollment remained stable from the 1998-1999 to 1999-2000 school year. During the 1999-2000 school year. Maim Magnet had the largest population (842) and Southwest had the smallest (447). Ethnic composition of the middle schools for the 1999-2000 school year was 69% African-American, 28% White, and 3% Other. There was an expected increase of new teachers due to the movement to middle schools. The average percent of new teachers in the middle schools for the 1998-1999 school year was 11.75%, while in the 1999-2000 school year the average was 26.87%. Cloverdale Middle School had the highest percent of new teachers (35%), and Mann Magnet Middle School had the lowest (14%). 2Performance Data. I Attendance is reported to the state as a 3\"* quarter average. Attendance rates for the 1999-2000 school year were the following:  LRSD - 94.08%,  middle level - 96.02%,  Dunbar - 97.7%, highest attendance rate, and  Cloverdale - 94.32%, lowest attendance rate. Dropout rates are reported as percent of the population. =\u0026gt; The percent of middle level dropouts has decreased over the last three years: Year Dropout Percent 1997-1998 1998-1999 1999-2000 6% 3.7% 1.6% =\u0026gt; Middle level African-American student dropout rates have sharply decreased: Year Dropout Percent 1997-1998 1998-1999 1999-2000 4% 2.3% .9% =\u0026gt; Middle level White'student dropout rates have also decreased: Year Dropout Percent 1997-1998 1998-1999 1999-2000 2% 1% .6% The dropout disparity between African-American and White students has decreased.

Perception Data. In consultation with Dr. Steve Ross, Center for Research in Educational Policy at the University of Memphis, the Middle School Survey (MSS) was developed by LRSD Department of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (PRE) and the curriculum directors of the Language Arts, Social Studies, and Math and Science Departments. The MSS was given to students and teachers first because these two groups were impacted to a greater extent by the transition. These data will be used to help determine the level of implementation of the Middle Level Program Standards and to assist the LRSD in making data-driven decisions to improve year two implementation. Parallel versions of the survey asked students and teachers to rate the level of activity in the areas of teaching and learning, organization and accountability, governance and resources, and curriculum specific standards. Perception of implementation data was also gathered by matching 16 items on student and teacher surveys. I 4 During the close of the 1999-2000 school year all middle level students and teachers were given the opportunity to complete the survey. Student response rate was 44% (N = 2343) and teacher survey response rate was 47% (N = 210). Findings indicate there is a perception among students and teachers across the middle level that a majority of indicators of the Middle Level Program Standards are implemented either occasionally or frequently. However, both students and teachers agree that the use of flexible periods and/or extended blocks of time are not implemented on a consistent basis. There is significant difference between schools on the implementation of program standards. In analyzing the data by school, an alternate hypothesis may be the effect of teacher mobility on implementation. As previously reported, the percent of new teachers sharply increased from the 1998-1999 to the 1999-2000 school year. The percent of change from the 1998-1999 to 1999-2000 school year was as follows: Percent of New Teachers Cloverdale Dunbar Forest Heights Henderson Mabelvale Mann Pulaski Heights Southwest ^^otal SY 1998-1999 4% 16% 10% 7% 14% 14% 15% 14% ,12% SY 1999-2000 35% 29% 28% 29% 29% 14% 22% 23% 26% Change +31% +13% +10% +22% +15% No Change +7% +9% +IW The trend identified by the survey is that as the percent of new teachers increases, the perception of the implementation of the Middle Level Program Standards implementation decreases. Conclusions. Middle level attendance is above the district average and the dropout rate, particularly among African-American students has decreased sharply. Achievement scores, as measured by the SAT-9, have been flat over the last three years. However, several schools have demonstrated growth in African-American scores over the last two years. It appears the greatest effect on middle level transition has not been the movement of students, but rather the movement of teachers. This is due in part to the inverse relationship between the rate of new teachers and reported implementation of the Middle Level Program Standards. As previously stated, Seghers, Kirby, and Meza (1997) reported high levels of Turning points implementation in schools with low teacher turnover. However, LRSD survey results indicate that both students and teachers perceive that many of the Turning Points recommendations are being implemented. ) 5 Recommendations  Consider this report as a baseline report for future evaluation of the middle level program.  Use the data from the middle school survey to target schools and grade levels for further study.  Request that additional professional development on implementing Middle Level Program Standards be made available to all teachers.  Continue to encourage the development of programs that can facilitate a lower dropout rate and raise the attendance rate of middle level students.  Report State Benchmark Scores and comparison data on the Districts ALT scores.  Develop trend data on participation of students in extra-curricular activities.  Develop trend data on letter grade distribution.  Develop trend data on discipline.  Benchmark progress toward implementation of the middle school transition against other successful programs on a national scale and against researchbased middle school program standards.  Make middle level program evaluation an on-going activity with a status report presented as new data becomes available rather than just once a year. 6 References Anderman, E.M., \u0026amp; Urban, T.

Achievement scores, as measured by the SAT-9, have been flat over the last three years. However, several schools have demonstrated growth in African-American scores over the last two years. Students and teachers who completed and returned the MSS reported that a majority (i.e., 29 out of 32 in the student version and 29 out of 29 in the teacher version) of the program and curriculum standard items were being implemented frequently or occasionally. The perception of implementation does vary across program and cuniculum standard items. Listed below are the top three items perceived as implemented frequently and occasionally and the top three items perceived as implemented seldom or never. Student Survey Items most frequently perceived as implemented ffequently or occasionally.  In math class, I am graded for different types of work, not just tests.  I have been encouraged to read and write more this year.  In language arts/ English class, I am graded for different types of work, not just tests. Items most frequently perceived as implemented seldom or never.  I participate in my school's community service projects.  In math class, we work in groups or in pairs to solve problems.  My classes meet in extended blocks of time. Teacher Survey Items most frequently perceived as implemented freguently or occasionally.  Language arts / English teachers have used a variety of grading techniques and  Language arts/ English teachers have improved their own sources. reading and writing proficiency.  I ensure that classroom materials and supplies are developmentally appropriate and directly support content and performance standards. Items most frequently perceived as implemented seldom or never.  I am currently utilizing flexible periods or blocks of time as needed to deliver thematic teaching and learning.  Science teachers had sufficient materials to implement the science curriculum.  Steps have been taken to create smaller learning environments. While teachers tended to perceive implementation activities as happening more frequently than students, a phenomenon most commonly attributed to the self-evaluation nature of thei A 19 are very useful in significantly different, there i were IS item pair #4 vs. #2, in which 59.7% of students which includes computer use. that they make appropriate use of active learning strategies, not been the movement of reported lower levels of implementation. This many of the Turning Poims recommendations are being ^mptrnenJed.\"'20 Recommendations Consider this report as a baseline report for future evaluation of the middle level program. Use the data from the middle school survey to target schools and grade levels for further study.  Request that additional professional development on implementing the Middle Level Program Standards be made available to all teachers.  Continue to encourage the development of programs that can facilitate a lower dropout rate and raise the attendance rate of middle level students.  Report State Benchmark Scores and comparison data on the Districts ALT scores.  Develop trend data on participation of students in extra-curricular activities.  Develop trend data on letter grade distribution.  Develop trend data on discipline.  Benchmark progress toward implementation of the middle school transition against other successful programs on a national scale and against research-based middle school program standards.  Make middle level program evaluation an on-going activity with a status report presented as new data becomes available rather than just once a year.21 References PrinHn^74 approach to middle-level reform. r nnCIpgl, /2D2o.

LR-C-82-866 IFF PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL. DEFENDANTS JOSHUA INTERVENOR'S RESPONSE TO THE DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR PLAN APPROVAL The Joshua Intervenors conditionally oppose the defendant's request for a new plan and respectfully request that a hearing be set in order that defendants may demonstrate what they expect to accomplish therewith. The Joshua Intervenors negotiated changed with the Pulaski County Special School District (hereinafter \"PCS SD\") in the preexisting PCS SD desegregation plan during the 1998-99 school term during the administration of Mr. Bobby Lester, then Superintendent of Schools. The basic changes were negotiated during October, November, and December, 1999. The plan was designed to replace and update the existing plan within the context of the administration of Mr. Lester. It contemplated that, inter alia, the Desegregation Office of the district and its two primary administrators would continue to implement the plan in accordance with earlier representations to the Court. It also contemplated cooperation between the parties with respect to the monitoring activities of Joshua and it set forth a process for obtaining good faith compliance with the desegregation objectives of the ogginal plan. -1- The plan was not to be submitted to the Court,, however, except as a joint submission and it was then to be after agreement upon all issues including attomevs fees. Bv submitting the plan unilaterallv. the defendants breached the agreement and thev now seek to avoid pavment offees and costs as agreed. Joshua also requests that the Court consider further plan modifications and other plan alterations in order to insure achievement of the original plan's desegregations goals. The plan submitted by the defendants takes as the work of the defendant the joint efforts of the parties. It is now being submitted out of context and out of regard for materially changed circumstances. It is submitted as a unilateral resolution of controverted issues which may be more than a year stale. Moreover, the unilateral plan presented to the Court contemplates notice to the class, a matter not even discussed by the document; and it includes a provision for raising compliance issues which Joshua would not agree to now or during the current administration due to changed circumstances. The Joshua Intervenors note to the Court that the present principal administrators of the district are vaguely familiar with the history of the desegregation plan and its commitments. Their early actions denigrate the plan and lower it as a district priority. They then reduced the role of Mr. Billy Bowles, Assistant Superintendent for Desegregation, and deprecated the role and the work of the Director of Desegregation, Dr. Ruth Herts, by, inter alia, refusing her access to the second level power structure of the district known as the \"A Team\". Furthermore, citizen access before the board to discuss issues has been limited, on recommendation of the new superintendent, and in disregard of the Joshua Intervenor's request to be involved in resolution of the issue. The Joshua Intervenors have continued monitoring during the current administration and have met with general negative, if not hostile, responses from many teachers and administrators in -2- the district including the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent for Academic Matters, Dr. Fox. When Joshua has reported issues to the Office of Desegregation, Mr. Bowles now declines to make his own responses to the reports in writing lest they be used against the district. And, the district openly discriminates against Mr. Bowles' wife, Brenda, the district's Coordinator of Multicultural Education on the basis of race with respect to pay, duties and responsibility. We note the cosmetic nature of administrative changes. The superintendent touts academic improvement by attempting to point up significant test score changes. See Exhibit A. He then asks the board for a substantial pay raise for increasing test performance taking underserved credit for whatever changes may have occurred, if any, before he arrived. To top the plate, however, the test score data are not disaggregated by race. The Superintendent and Dr. Fox deliberately refused to allow disaggregation of the data. In this respect, the superintendent totally disregarded the \"A Team\" membership request by Dr. Herts but placed Dr. Robert Clowers, Test Director, and mostly other white male on the \"A Team.\" These are not signs of good faith of a district which is committed to desegregation. At the least they cause Joshua substantial concern that the district has no intention of effective remediation of constitutional rights of African American children. We have included the Affidavit of Joshua Monitor, Ms. Joy Springer, in support of our request that the district show cause that its plan addresses the current needs of African American students, is administratively consistent with the plan, and that the new plan does not diminish rights secured by the existing plan. The plan submitted by the district should not be approved, if at all, unless and until there has been a hearing to address compliance and other issues raised by Joshua. The role of the Office of Desegregation; the reduction of status of its principal officers; the limitation upon public access to -3- the board in public meetings; the misrepresentation of achievement scores and the comcomitant failure to disaggregate the data; the limitation of access to Joshua in monitoring; the unfamiliarity of the administration with either plan; the lack of commitment to either plan; the continuation of segregated assignments within classrooms the allowance of individual teachers to set rules on the spot which apply only to African American students (see the Cooley case); and the continued disparate treatment indiscipline, special education and extracurricular activities cry out for the Court to set a show cause hearing in order for the district to address the current Joshua concerns. The concerns have not been addressed in part because of the diminished status of the Office of Desegregation of the district. There is no doubt that the Court has the authority to modify the plan. But the Court's previous admonitions have been that the parties work together to that end. That has not been - effectuated and the defendants are now seeking to be rewarded for their failure to cooperate and effectively for their failure to implement the preexisting plan. Good faith is therefore abundantly lacking. The good faith of the district is a prerequisite for the Court's exercise of discretion in a way which favors the district. WHEREFORE, the Joshua Intervenors respectfully request the Court to set this matter for a hearing, require the defendants to show cause why its preexisting plan needs to be changed and the particulars therefor and require the defendants to show how the proposed new plan under the new administration will work in face of a diminished Office of Desegregation. Joshua also requests the Court for an opportunity to conduct discovery in order to be prepared for such a hearing. After such discovery and after hearing, the Joshua Intervenors respectfully request that the Court approve those parts of the plan that are shown to be necessary and positive changes to the existing plan; disapprove -4- those portions of the plan which are not demonstrated to be goal related or likely to work to strengthen or improve the preexisting plan; allow for further amendments and modifications as may be required by the evidence; require the district to allow monitoring and enforcement activities to proceed through Joshua and to pay all fees and costs associated with plan deviation, monitoring and other desegregation activity.

V. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, ETAL. :MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. STATE OF ARKANSAS) SS) COUNTY OF PULASKI) AFFIDAVIT OF JOY C. SPRINGER PLAINTIFFS DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTER VENO RS Comes now the affiant, Joy C. Springer, who admits the following affidavit under oath: 1. I was hired by class counsel for the Joshua Intervenors in approximately January, 1990 to monitor the compliance of the Pulaski County Special School District (later referred to herein as PCSSD) regarding its desegregation plan obligations and other court orders that relate to the settlement of this case. 2. Over the years as a member of the Joshua monitoring team, I have monitored PCCSD's compliance with its desegregation plan obligations. PCSSD's mission statement and plan goals are outlined on pages 3 through 12 of their respective plan. See DESEGREGATION PLAN, Pulaski County Special School District, dated April 29, 1992. Over the last five years, we - chose the following areas to monitor during our visits to schools in PCSSD: 1) Building Leadership and Management; 2) Separation of Races in School programs; 3) Staff Development; 4) Student Discipline; 5) Parental Involvement; 6) Curriculum and Educational Programs; 7) Student Achievement and Assessment; 8) Special Education; 9) Talented and Gifted and 10) Extracurricular Activities. 3. Joshua's findings over the past five years with respect to PCCSD's good faith implementation of its plan goals and obligations have been overwhelmingly mixed. The District has a tendency of \"going through the motion\" with respect to implementation of plan goals and obligations. In other words, it may be able to say on paper that a particular program has been implemented, but there are no evaluation or assessment criteria in place to determine their effectiveness. The District has a storehouse of data it has collected over the years and to my knowledge, has not done anything with its data collection. This can be said for the majority of its efforts regarding implementation of plan obligations. An example of data collection is the District's goal to correct the problem of over representation of black males in special education. Data are collected regarding student participation in special education programs and to my knowledge, nothing is done with the data .. Another example of data collection involves the discipline management system. The intent of the discipline management system was to address disproportionate discipline of black students. Many of the schools in the District have discipline management plans, however, that is just about it. They have them and to my knowledge, they don't do anything with them. The alternative discipline program for at-risk youth for the District has deteriorated over the years. The current format of this program has similarities to that of shift work for a factory. Students attend based upon shifts. Finally, and even more alarming, there is no counselor on staffi 4. In the majority of the schools visited, areas of concern remain in student achievement, ---- - - - - student discipline, separation of races in school programs, student participation in extracurricular activities, student participation in gifted and talented and advanced placement classes, parental involvement and student participation in special education. 5. I have received numerous parent and student complaints of disparate treatment with respect to discipline, participation in extracurricular activities, educational placement and the general overall treatment of black staff and students. 6. Ms. Carolyn Cooley has worked under my supervision as a monitor during the last school year. She reports that a number of classes have black students seated on one side of classrooms while white students are seated on the opposite side. She also reports that at schools like Baker, Oak Grove, and North Pulaski, she has met hostile response from teachers and the administration. They are uncooperative. 7. I have reported Ms. Cooley's findings, as well as my own, to Mr. Bowles. In the past, Mr. Bowles would investigate the complaints and often give our office a written response. Since that time, he has declined to put anything in writing because, we believe, the Superintendent has instructed him not to do so or because of the criticism that he has received from having previously documented his findings. 8. The District has hired a number of new administrators within the past twelve months, virtually all of them have been white. The hiring officials failed to consult in most instances, on information and belief, the Assistant Superintendent for Desegregation before filling such I vacancies. This clearly relates to effective implementation of the District's desegregation goals and obligations. 9. As a continuing monitor of the PCSSD who is involved on a daily basis in the monitoring activities of the District, I believe that the District has not effectuated any positive changes which favor black students in the PCSSD in the past year and a half In addition, I believe that the District's efforts regarding desegregation are denigrating rather than improving as it strives to achieve unitary status in all aspects of school operations. 10. In conclusion, the District does not give us the support necessary for our monitoring activities to be successful. I hereby state that the foregoing statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief SWORN BEFORE ME TIIlS 3n1 day of January, 2000. dlliQ a !Lu:t ublic My Commission Expires: Cf/;:j2dl.s I  JANS 2000 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF v. No. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, et al. DEFENDANTS ADE'S RESPONSE TO THE COURT'S NOVEMBER 5, 1999 ORDER In its order entered November 5, 1999 (docket no. 3308), and in response to the LRSD's motion to modify the Settlement Agreement, this Court concluded that there - was no basis to modify the Settlement Agreement so as to increase the total number of magnet school seats the State must fund beyond a total of 4,065 for all six magnet schools. The Court requested additional submissions on the question of \"whether the number of stipulated seats for each individual [magnet] school, as set forth in the settlement agreement, involves a substantive commitment (which may not be modified absent a showing of significant change in fact or law) or a detail (which may be modified when a reasonable basis for modification exists).\" The Settlement Agreement specifically limits the State's financial obligation for students attending the six original magnet schools. The Settlement Agreement does not define the limits to the State's financial obligation in terms of an aggregate number of students for all magnet schools, regardless of individual school enrollment. Rather, the  Settlement Agreement ties the limits to the State's financial obligation to a maximum number of students for each of the six magnet schools. The parties' decision to enumerate individual, specific seating limits for each of the six magnets as defining the limits to the State's financial obligation evidences the parties' belief that those individual seating limits are \"substantive commitments\" under the Agreement, and not mere \"details.\" Had the parties intended that the State's financial obligation for magnet schools be based on a fixed total enrollment of 4,065 students each year - without regard to fluctuations in the seating capacities at the individual schools - they could easily have crafted the Settlement Agreement to make that clear.

JAN 1 (,; 'lon~ t \u003c- ' ut.J OftlCE'Of ID~TIONMONITORWG PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS REPLY AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PCSSD'S REPLY TO JOSHUAINTERVENORS'RESPONSETO THE DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR PLAN APPROVAL On November 17, 1999, the PCSSD filed its motion seeking approval of Plan 2000. The motion was accompanied by a brief which set forth the undisputed facts and the applicable law. The PCSSD consented to a 20-day enlargement of time for Joshua to respond and thereafter, Joshua sought and obtained a second enlargement of time to respond until January 3, 2000. Given the nature of Joshua's response, the PCSSD is at a loss to explain why Joshua needed any enlargement of time whatsoever. Unlike the PCSSD's submissions, the Joshua response is bereft of legal analysis, legal authority or any other matters that would be of any assistance to the Court in determining whether to approve Plan 2000. Instead, Joshua has basically submitted a stream of consciousness narrative decrying certain alleged current practices of the PCSSD and generally grousing about perceived slights and alleged 149205-v1 oversights. While Joshua's response further faults the management style of the new PCSSD administration and asserts that goals of the 1989 plan remain as yet unmet, Joshua has submitted nothing that should deter this Court from simply applying the legal standards set forth in PCSSD's opening brief and approving Plan 2000 without further delay. While the PCSSD could respond in kind and discuss Joshua's inaccurate assertions and unfounded personal attacks, could highlight the generally aggressive, inyour- face monitoring style of Joshua, explain the essentially useless written monitoring reports generated in the past by Joshua which invariably applied incorrect and inapplicable legal standards, could discuss the exorbitant financial demands of Joshua, and could highlight the generally counter productive practices of the principal Joshua monitor, such discussion would not advance a resolution of the legal issues and will therefore not be pursued here. THE PCSSD HAS BREACHED NO AGREEMENT. It is true that in a previous incarnation, Plan 2000 was developed with Joshua as the principal author, as a plan to be submitted jointly by Joshua and the PCSSD. Thereafter, Joshua refused to execute the plan as an agreement when its monetary demands went unmet. PCSSD then appended the plan to its petition for unitary status dated March 25, 1999. In response and at that time, Joshua vouchsafed no opposition to the plan. Indeed, while Joshua opposed the petition for unitary status, Joshua \"embraced\" the plan characterizing the proposed commitments as a \"renewed and more targeted\" plan that could serve as a new or amended desegregation plan. (See - PCSSD brief, p.2) 149205-v1 2 This status was fully discussed at the hearing held by this Court on September 21, 1999. It was submitted then that either party could submit the amended plan unilaterally and that this Court would not have to even apply the contested amendment standard because the parties had agreed upon the plan. The Court agreed with this proposition. (See PCSSD brief, pp.6-7) THE JOSHUA RESPONSE IS A TALE FULL OF SOUND AND FURY SIGNIFYING NOTHING. It should be noted here that the PCSSD's declination to discuss each of Joshua's accusations explicitly should not be interpreted as any kind of concession. Indeed, the PCSSD denies them all. Instead, reduced to its bare essentials, the Court has before it only two legally viable propositions. First, will the Court decline to approve Plan 2000 and continue the - 1989 plan, a conclusion, we respectfully submit, that is at variance with the Court's previous pronouncements and rulings; or, will the Court approve Plan 2000 as a better means to the end of this litigation. That is really all this Court can and should do. While it is certainly true that this Court might very well schedule compliance hearings in the future calculated to ascertain compliance with Plan 2000, there is no current logical legal reason for this Court to indulge, by a hearing, Joshua's latest efforts to second guess personnel issues, how board meetings are structured, prematurely hear matters which are currently monitored by the ODM and other similar matters. Clearly, a desegregation plan is not logically or legally required to be tailored to the particular personalities in charge of a school district at any particular time (See 149205-v1 3 Joshua argument at its brief, p.1) but, rather, is required to be tailored to the circumstances extant at the time of the proposed modification in terms of remedying past constitutional violations. (See PCSSD brief, p.3) CONCLUSION For all of its bellicosity, the Joshua response avails nothing. It ignores the legal issues pending before this Court and represents little more than an effort to distract the Court from the real issues. In contrast, the PCSSD has thoroughly and appropriately informed the Court of the controlling law and the guiding legal principles. There are no issues for which a hearing is appropriate, much less necessary. It is respectfully submitted that Plan 2000 should be approved forthwith and the PCSSD directed to commence its implementation. 149205-v1 Respectfully submitted, WRIGHT, LINDSEY \u0026 JENNINGS LLP 200 West Capitol Avenue, Suite 2200 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-3699 (501) 371-0808 FAX: (501) 376-9442 BY_,,...,..._,;__:;,~~~~~d::,.----M.

The State responded [docket no. 3298], and the Districts replied to the response [docket no. 3301]. After carefully considering the parties' pleadings and briefs, the Court determines the Districts' motion should be granted. I. Previously, the Court found that the State's new method for funding school districts' contributions for teacher retirement and employees' health insurance disadvantaged the Pulaski County Districts in violation of the parties' settlement agreement with the State. The Eighth Circuit ordered the Court to determine appropriate relief that would place the Districts \"in a position no worse than they would have occupied if the previous system of funding for teacher retirement and health insurance had not been changed.\"1 In response to the Eighth Circuit's directive, the Court ordered the State to pay the Districts 100% of their costs for teacher retirement and health insurance for the 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 school years and found that the Districts were entitled to an award of prejudgment interest. 2 With respect to the 1998-1999 school year, the parties agreed that the States' principal liability totaled $10,288,773. On September 2, 1999 the State paid the agreed amount. Now the Districts move for an award of prejudgment interest. II. The State asserts that the Court did not issue a judgment regarding the States' liability for the 1998-1999 retirement and insurance funding shortfall and, therefore, the Districts should not label their request a motion for \"prejudgment\" interest. 3 Whatever the label, the Court finds the subst "},{"id":"bcas_bcmss0837_970","title":"Discipline: ''Analysis of Disciplinary Actions, District Level,'' North Little Rock School District","collection_id":"bcas_bcmss0837","collection_title":"Office of Desegregation Management","dcterms_contributor":null,"dcterms_spatial":["United States, 39.76, -98.5","United States, Arkansas, 34.75037, -92.50044","United States, Arkansas, Pulaski County, 34.76993, -92.3118","United States, Arkansas, Pulaski County, Little Rock, 34.74648, -92.28959"],"dcterms_creator":null,"dc_date":["2000/2001"],"dcterms_description":null,"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":["Little Rock, Ark. : Butler Center for Arkansas Studies.
