Both parties agreed that the community support grants should be deleted from the plan. The community support grants were intended to be used by area schools to support recruitment efforts. However, both parties agreed that the attendance zones will serve as a natural recruitment tool. Please note that this request only applies to the community support grants. The academic progress incentive grants should not be deleted. cc: Chip Jones Estelle Matthis Martha Alman, Committee Chairperson Arma Hart 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501)374-3361received mm 27  LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Office of Desegregation Monitoring z TO: Board of Directory May 28, 1992 FROM: THROUGH: SUBJECT: Estelle MatthH,* Associate Superintendent for Educational Programs Ruth S. Steele, Superintendent of Schools 6^^ Arkansas Better Chance (ABC) Grant Proposal The Arkansas Department of Education recently announced the availability of funds to establish and expand developmentally-appropriate early childhood programs which identify and assist educationally-deprived children, ages three (3) to five (5), as specified in the Arkansas Better Chance Program, Act 212 of 1991. The request for proposals was released after April 16, 1992, and the deadline for submission is June 1, 1992. Provided for your review are copies of the Program Abstract for applications for expansion of our center- and home-based early childhood education programs. The goals, objectives, and other components provide the basic information that was provided to you in our Early Childhood Continuance Grant last month. The proposed expansion sites for our center-based program are Bale, Cloverdale, Geyer Springs, Watson, and Wilson Elementary Schools. Southwest Little Rock is the targeted area for expansion of our home-based program. We are also requesting funds to improve playgrounds and expand our staff development activities for our early childhood staff. Attached is the proposed Arkansas Better Chance budget request for funding. We recommend the approval of our submission of this expansion proposal to the Arkansas Department of Education.ARKANSAS BETTER CHANCE PROGRAM 1992-93 PROGRAM ABSTRACT A, Statement of Need The Little Rock School District believes that Early Childhood Education is a means of meeting the needs of disadvantaged students and improving the racial balance at schools that are difficult to desegregate. Furthermore, we believe that effective early childhood programs will reduce, if not eliminate, the need for major remediation programs in the upper grades. For these reasons. the enhancement and expansion of the Early Childhood Education program will continue to be a priority for the Little Rock School District. During the 1992 registration period, 671 parents registered their child from within the Little Rock School District, 15 applicants from North Little Rock, and 20 applicants from Pulaski County. Needless to say, the demand is greater than the supply. 706 total applications 378 openings B. Overall Objectives The overall objectives of this program are to address the needs of at-risk students at the earliest possible age in a manner that ensures success in learning and diminishes the current disparity in performance between not only black and white children but economically advantaged and economically disadvantaged children.Arkansas Better Chance Program - Page 2 C. Type of Program The center-based program for four-year-old children is designed to proxdde developmental and educational experiences that hold the potential for greater academic achievement and enhanced educational opportunity for all children. The early childhood educational center-based programs are geared to providing the skills and experiences that have often been lacking in the lower-income youngsters. This is tremendously important, not only to the parent but to the self-image and selfconfidence of the child. The early childhood education programs are a major part of the Little Rock School Districts response to Goal One of America 2000: All children in America will start school ready to learn. D. Number of Students To Be Served The Little Rock School Districts center-based program will serve 378 children. Fifty-four of the students are included in the continuance grant and 324 will be served through the expansion grant (90 students-five new classes - playground/staff development - 234 children). E. Curriculum The Little Rock School Districts curriculum-based four-year-old-program uses a curriculum that was developed by a task force composed of specialists, teachers, instructional aides, and parents. The curriculum is based on young childrens interests and styles of learning which guide daily activities. It allows for children to become active learners and gives them freedom to act on materials, to use them in their own ways, and to move about and interact verbally and physically with other children and their teachers. The curriculum is sensitive to the cultural and ethnic heritage of children and provides for interaction with students from various backgrounds in diverse settings to learn to respectArkansas Better Chance Program - Page 3 and value each other. It also enables children to deal more skillfully with differences they encounter upon entering school. F. Parent Involvement Component Active involvement of the parents is critical to the childs success in school. It reinforces and helps sustain the effects of school programs. Parents will become involved in the implementation of the program through: * Orientation meetings - parents will be acquainted with the initial program at Open House. * Parent participation - parents will be invited to volunteer in the classroom, accompanying the class on field trips, and observing the children in the classroom.  Workshops - will be provided on various topics as a means to improve parent effectiveness. * Advisory Council - parents who serve on this council will have direct input into the programs. G. Collaboration With Other Service Agencies The Little Rock School District Early Childhood Education Program works actively with other service agencies such as: human service agencies, health care agencies. Interagency Coordinating Council, and various other agencies to ensure that the needs of our children and their families are met.Arkansas Better Chance Program - Page 4 H. Screening and Evaluation Plan Frequent assessments of the childrens progress through teacher observations, samples of childrens work, and parental input are used to modify experiences to enhance development and to ensure \"that all children will start school ready to learn.\" Also, children who are in the program will be monitored as they progress through the grades. EPSDT screening will be provided for all children in the program. I. Community Involvement The Little Rock School District has a strong tradition of involvement with local community groups. businesses, industries, and institutions of higher education. Community and parental involvement is essential for the programs success. The program grew out of the needs of the community, and it will be responsive to the community. J. Plan for Transition from Early Childhood Programs to Public Schools The center-based programs are located in sixteen (16) individual school sites which allows the programs to be introduced to and receive the services of numerous resources and support staff available within the public schools. The plan allows for visitation of kindergarten classes within the schools along with participation and involvement in school activities. Also, information regarding individual student progress is shared with the upcoming teacher.PROGRAM ABSTRACT HOME INSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR PRESCHOOL YOUNGSTERS A. Statement of Need The Little Rock School Districts Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) will serve economically and educationally at-risk families during the 1992-93 school year. The southwest Little Rock area has been identified as the targeted population as many children in this area are not being served by pre-school agencies. HIPPY programs operate with two major sets of goals and objectives. The child-focused goals include Ua'O years of programming with 18 story books, 60 activity packets, and a set of 16 colored plastic shapes. These materials concentrate on language development, sensory and perceptual discrimination skills, and problem solving. Specific objectives include: language instruction skills such as listening, asking questions, talking about the text, picture reading, story creation, serialization and vocabulary-building\ndiscrimination skills such as visual, auditory and tactile skills\nand problem-solving activities such as listing, sorting, matching. and grouping concrete objects, then representations of objects. Parent-focused objectives include improvement of parental self-esteem, improved parent-as-educator skills, improved parental problem-solving skills, and development of the parents concept as an advocate for their childs educational needs. Operational goals and objectives for HIPPY programs in the 1992-93 school year include recruitment of HIPPY families by mid-September and delivering of the 30- week curriculum with the program concluding by the end of May, 1993. Family group meetings will be scheduled and held on a monthly basis, statewide coordinator meetings and training will occur on a bi-monthly basis, and various paraprofessional training will be held throughout the year. Regional coordinator meetings will be held on a bi-monthly basis alternating with the statewide meeting schedule. B. Type of Program Home-based Program The placement of the HIPPY program in the Little Rock School District has been done with the specific intention of working in a cooperative and collaborative effort to maximize our efforts to effectively intervene in the lives of these children. This program is designed to empower parents. All parents want what is best for their children\nHIPPY builds upon this basic fact. The HIPPY model creates opportunitiesArkansas Better Chance Program - HIPPY Page 2 for positive educational interactions between parents and their four- and five-year olds. Parents take active roles as their childrens primary educator. C. Number of Students to Be Served/Service Areas The HIPPY program sponsored by the Little Rock School District is designed to address the educational and developmental needs of four- and five-year-old children in our program service area. We will identify educationally \"at risk\" families with children in these two age groups through formal screenings, recruitment from targeted neighborhoods, and other informal approaches. The Little Rock School District HIPPY program plans to serve an additional 36 children during the 1992-93 school year. D. Curriculum The HIPPY program is designed for parents with limited formal schooling to provide educational enrichment for their preschool children. Support and training for the parents are given by paraprofessionals, themselves parents of young children from the communities served by the program. International research suggests that HIPPY benefits disadvantaged children by improving academic achievement and adjustment to school\nby improving parental self-concepts\nand by increasing their interest and involvement in the education of their children, their involvement in community affairs, and their interest in pursuing further education for themselves. The HIPPY curriculum guides parents in creating opportunities for their children to learn the basic skills and knowledge necessary for early school success. E. Training and Professional Development Training and professional development opportunities are provided weekly during inservice training. District supervisors and community leaders provide enrichment for our Home Visitors. They also attend the training provided by the Arkansas HIPPY Technical Resource Center. F. Parent Involvement The program provides parental outreach through the Parent Advisory Council and office staff. Special programs and workshops enhance parents interests and knowledge of child growth and development. The Parent Advisory Council that is in place will sponsor activities for parents and act as a liaison for parents in the community.Arkansas Better Chance Program - HIPPY Page 3 G. H. 1. Transition Activities Transition activities will be available for parents and HIPPY children by providing kindergarten teachers, parents, and social workers the opportunity to speak at group meetings and give information on the requirements of schools. This information will empower the parents and children as to what is needed to successfully make the transition from home-based services to kindergarten, a more structured school envirorunent. Collaborative Agreements We will work to serve HIPPY program children through Watershed, Inc. and the Adult Education Center. Watershed, Inc. will refer potential Home Visitors applicants and the HIPPY program will refer HIPPY parents to Watershed when they need assistance for food, clothing, or utilities. The HIPPY staff will present the HIPPY concept to participants involved in job training at Watershed. The Adult Education Center will allow the HIPPY staff to use their auditorium for special programs. The Little Rock HIPPY staff will refer HIPPY parents to Adult Education in order for them to continue their education. Screening and Evaluation All of the five-year-old participants receive pre and post assessments by the District using the Early Prevention of School Failure assessment instrument. A pre and post assessment will be conducted using the HIPPY curriculum to identify the participants readiness skills. The program will be evaluated in order to determine the overall effectiveness of early childhood services. A survey to kindergarten teachers and a telephone survey to parents will be used to measure the program goals and objectives. The Home Visitors will be evaluated at least twice during the year to assess their knowledge of the program. All HIPPY programs in Arkansas participate in a standardized program evaluation system. This system consists of a set of materials issued from HIPPY USA and submitted by local programs back to HIPPY USA or the Arkansas Regional HIPPY Office. This data will cover recruitment of HIPPY families and initial family assessment (baseline data information). Paraprofessional home visit reports will be completed after each visit with parents. Monthly reports summarizing each family s involvement will be completed by the staff and forwarded to HIPPY USA.ARKANSAS BETTER CHANCE PROGRAM - PROPOSED BUDGET BUDGET CATEGORY ABC MATCH TOTAL SALARIES Coordinator/Program Manager Teachers Paraprofessionals Administrative/Support Personnel Other (specify) HIPPY Secretary 17,720.00 154,500.00 61,190.00 69,312.00 401,700.00 130,223.00 87,032.00 556,200.00 191,413.00 FRINGE BENEFITS 33,600.00 15,942.00 82,334.00 15,942.00 115,934.00 MAINTENANCE OF OPERATIONS Advertising Rent/Lease Utilities Phone OfSce Supplies Copier/Duplication/Printing 450.00 101.00 153,600.00 4,560.00 Postage O 1,300.00 500.00 500.00 3,060.00 556.00 153,600.00 4,560.00 1,300.00 3,560.00 500.00 MATERIALS/SUPPLIES Instructional 27,750.00 60,000.00 87,750.00 EQUIPMENT Instructional Classroom/Playground 13,940.00 90,000.00 36,000.00 49,940.00 90,000.00 SUPPORT SERVICES Food/Nutrition Assessment/Screening Transportation for Students Parent Involvement Activities 51,905.00 1,980.00 1,680.00 11,060.00 17,820.00 51,905.00 19,800.00 1,680.00 11,060.00 TRAINING 20,200\n00 20,200.00 RENOVATION OF SPACE (Must attached contractors estimate) TRAVEL In-state Out-of-state 1,286.00 9.000.00 5,123.00 6,409.00 9.000.00 TOTAL $498,561.00 $979,775.00 $1,478,336.0011/16/93 18:38 501 324 2032 L R School Dlst ODM @002/002 -i Little Rock School District NEWS RELEASE November 16,1993 For more information: Jeanette Wagner, 324-2020 LRSD TO WRITE GRANT FOR STUDENTS WITH LIMITED ENGUSH LANGUAGE SKTTIS The Little Rock School District is writing a grant proposal in the amount of $175,000 to expand the district's English as a Second Language (ESL/LEP) program.

WiTli erintendent SUBJECT: School-based Service Learning Grants Program The Arkansas Department of Education has announced the availability of federal grant awards through the Corporation of National and Community Service to enable local school districts to improve the quality of education by integrating service learning into the curriculum. This process will allow students to use information learned to solve problems within the school and community. Planning and operational grant awards of up to $12,000 are available to assist districts with program development and staff training. The deadline for submission is September 26, 1994. The District's proposal will involve developing a model service learning program in an elementary , junior high and a senior high school. Local governmental, civic and business groups will also participate in the program's design and implementation. It is recommended that the Board of Directors authorize the administration to proceed with Department of Education. an application to the State JEE/mab Little Rock School District May 15, 1998 Pat Gee 8409 Dowan Drive Little Rock, AR 72209 Dear Ms. Gee, Let me begin by expressing my appreciation for your kind words about me at the Board meeting this past week. It is always gratifying to learn that ones contribution to a cause is appreciated and has achieved a recognized impact. Your candor at the meeting was particularly touching. In truth, I was not aware of your initial reservations about my role at the District. This is a result, I believe, more from your level of professional decorum than my own lack of attention. Nevertheless, your remarks offered an unexpected personal moment in the formal agenda. Thank you for the statement of support. I have enclosed the summary of grant activity you requested. Please note that I maintain these annual records to match the fiscal calendar. The final tally includes activity through June 30 each year, though decisions concerning grants frequently are not received until the following year. Despite this delayed response, the 1997-98 school year was particularly productive for grants revenue. A greater number of grants have been submitted and approved than ever before, and a larger number of high dollar proposals have been awarded. You will likely receive a second copy of this listing through the Superintendents office, but I wanted to send this copy because of a recent communication I received from Dr. Gamine concerning my contract with the District. As you may be aware, I have been informed that my contract will be renewed only through December 1998. Dr. Gamine plans to eliminate my position and reassign my responsibilities to a committee. I have been encouraged to secure employment outside the District. I received this administrative decision with shock and disappointment. I do not believe the assignment of grants writing responsibilities to a committee is in the best interests of the Little Rock School District. Nor do I believe that my accomplishments in this position and my service to the educational community are fully realized by the administration. 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501)324-2000-2- May 15,1998 My primary basis for this assertion is that since joining the District in May 1994 I have never had an annual assessment or review session of any kind with a supervisor. Other than you, no one has ever asked for an accounting of my on-going activity or a year-end summary of my achievements. I can attribute this to some degree to the change in supervision in the Planning, Research and Evaluation Division and the Superintendents Office. Nevertheless, other than the staff I have directly assisted in grants preparation, few people across the district are aware of my achievements. The annual tally of grants activity enclosed in this mailing is a summary of that service. One important conclusion from that summary should be emphasized. The total funds awarded to the District through grants include an indirect or administrative cost that has more than exceeded my annual salary. My service to the District has not only paid for itself, it has created income. Not listed in the annual summary are the support services I have provided to help LRSD educational staff better address the process of resource acquisition. I have conducted numerous grants writing workshops for the Staff Development Division with consistently excellent evaluation reports from teacher attendees. I continue to meet with school and teacher teams as a consultant to building-level planning. In the past few months, I have begun a direct communication to increase awareness of grants opportunities. A monthly flyer titled Grant Opportunities for Teachers and Schools has a wide distribution across the District. The grants listing is also published in the LRSD monthly newsletter. The result of this initiative has been outstanding. More educators are aware of grant resources and a larger number are applying for them. I do not believe the services I provide as a high performance and innovative grants writer can be duplicated by a committee. Project planning certainly requires group effort and inclusion, but the actual writing and packaging of complex proposals with multi-year budgets does not. It is a job best handled by a single person who can work with diverse groups and meet deadlines. In my tenure, the LRSD has never missed a submission deadline. My work in this regard, done largely behind the scenes and very frequently through the early hours of the morning, is known to very few. The proposal recently approved by the National Science Foundation is an example. I do not seek distinct credit for my contribution to the project, but I feel slighted when decisions concerning my service to the District are made without full understanding of my contribution. At this time, I am waiting the arrival of Dr. Bonnie Leslie and a discussion with her continuation with the District. Dr. Gamine told on my me his position is based on her initial assessment of District administrative staff. My immediate concern, then, is to better acquaint her with my job history and gain her approval of my position. If unsuccessful, I may request a hearing before the Board.-3- May 15,1998 I am sharing all this with you at this time because your remarks at Board meetings and to me personally have always shown a high regard for personal commitment to our common task. Hopefully, Dr. Leslie will share that view and these issues will be appropriately addressed. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide or questions I can answer about grant activity in the past year. I will be pleased to do so.

All high schools within the district have begun activities that will help guide reform planning. The goal of the Carnegie initiative. Schools for a New Society, is to improve all high schools in the district through: 1. 2. 3. Identifying, analyzing and eliminating barriers to success for all students\nLearning and implementing strategies that create high performing students in high performing schools\nand Developing specific plans to create high schools that ensure success for all students. Little Rock is one of 10 sites in the country to receive the planning grant. It will give principals, teachers, parents, students and the community an opportunity to continue to create quality high school programs that will benefit large numbers of students and raise achievement within the district. Michele Cahill, senior program officer at Carnegie and creator of Schools for a New Society said, ... this initiative will encourage and support the development of high schools for all students where there is effective teaching and learning and where there are clear pathways to higher education, careers and community participation. Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corporation said, Every student in America is St entitled to attend a good high school in order to be prepared for the world of the 21 century. They are owed a high performance education where much is offered and much is expected. The planning grant provides a dynamic opportunity for the District high schools and community to commit time to focus on questions and issues that will shape a school culture of high achievement for all students. The project coordinator, Paulette Mabry, will coordinate community forums, community small group discussions, and support to the high school planning teams. Forums and small groups will focus on engaging the community around high school reform issues. A listing of dates and sites of all public forums and school planning meetings will be placed on the LRSD web site www.lrsd.org as they are scheduled. The community is encouraged to attend forums, participate in small group discussions, and be an active participant in the process. All planning efforts will culminate in the development of a strategic plan for high school reform. After completing comprehensive planning, all ten grant sites will submit strategic reform plans to Carnegie and five of the ten will be invited into the second phase of the initiative. The Carnegie Corporation anticipates committing $40 million over five years in direct grants, which will require a one-to-one match from public or private funds.

AfiMMI CIrdo rrict - What can we do to make our high schools better? Explore this question and many more when they are discussed throughout the Little Rock community in January and February of 2001 in small group discussions called Study Circles. The Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded the Little Rock School District and New Futures for Youth a grant to plan reforms for urban high schools. The goal is to improve all high schools for all students. ...................... What are Study Circles? ....................... Study Circles are small, democratic, discussion groups of 10-12 people who come together to discuss an issue of common concern. Study Circles encourage people to respectfully consider issues from different viewpoints. Coming together in this way enables people to thoroughly examine the issues, develop new ideas, and find common ground for constructive action. ............................ Who Should participate in Study Circles? ................. EVERYONE: teachers, students, parents, grandparents, administrators, and community members. The more varied the points of view, the more productive and interesting the discussions will be. .............. What will Study Circle participants talk about? -.............. A trained facilitator will help each study circle talk about the critical issues, strengths, weaknesses and barriers our high schools face. Participants will share concerns, ideas, and recommendations about how to strengthen our high schools. Study Circles will identify what is expected of our high schools, how the community can get involved, and how schools can be responsive to the needs of the community. ................................ Why should I participate? ................................ Too often people feel that their opinions dont really matter or that there isnt an easy way to be heard by the people who make the decisions about our schools. When students, teachers, administrators, parents and other community members talk and listen to each other, everyone will gain a better understanding of what we all want from our schools. This shared understanding will help us focus and work together for better schools. Study Circles will give you an opportunity to be involved and to meet and make friends with other concerned people in your community. Because schools are at the very heart of economic prosperity and quality of life, it is important that the citizens of Little Rock work together to advance excellence in education. We need you! ............ How do I get involved or request more information? ............ The most important thing you can do is sign up to participate in a Study Circle. A Study Circle of 10-12 people will meet for two hours once a week for four weeks beginning in mid-January. There will be discussion groups located in different areas of Little Rock. Decide when and where you can attend these discussions and be willing to share with others your thoughts, concerns, and desires for Creating excellence in Little Rock high schools.

The planning grant makes the Little Rock district and New Futures eligible for an even larger .award  up to $8 million to carryout the plan it would develop. Little Rock is one of 10 sites in the country to get the grant from the Carnegie Corp, of New- York. School districts and communitypartners in Boston, Chattanooga. Tenn.: Houston\nIndianapolis: Portland, Ore.\nProvidence. R.I.\nSacramento, Calif\nSan Diego\nand Worcester, Mass., also got planning grants. ' Last February-, the Carnegie Corp, invited 21 school districts and their community- partners to apply for Schools for a New Society planning grants. Only five of the 10 planning grant winners will ultimately be awarded implementation grants in the fall of 2001. The implementation grants are worth up to $8 million each to be paid over five years. We are excited about the op- portunity the Carnegie ^ant provides the community, Little Rock school Superintendent Les Car- nine said Wednesday. \"We are particularly pleased because it gives principals, teachers, parents, students and the community an opportunity to create a quality- futuristic high school program. The goal of the Carnegie initiative is to improve all high schools in a district through new ideas for secondary education and on new expectations for teachers, students, parents, administrators and school curricula. , , While most cities have a few- excellent, competitive and magnet\nhigh schools, too many students still attend large, impersonal, poorly performing comprehensive schools, where too little is offered arid too little is expected, said Michele Cahill, the senior program officer for Carnegie and the creator of the Schools for a New Society initiative. Cahill called districtwide re- fomi of urban high schools a daunting and urgent problem of public education. \"With this initiative, Carnegie Corp, will encourage and support the development of high schools for all students where there is effective teaching and learning ... and where there are clear pathways to higher education, careers and communitv' participation.\" she said. School districts and communitj' partnerships were selected for the grants on the basis of their potential to \"overcome entrenched barriers to change, ignore outdated assumptions and identify creative solutions to chronic problems. according to a Carnegie news release announcing the grants. Little Rock was noted in particular for a long-standing relationship behveen the school district and New Futures for Youth, a coalition of school district, city, judicial. religious. business. health, public assistance and higher education officials focused on improving the academic success of students, particularly black or impoverished students. New Futures was formed in 1988 as the result of a $7.5 million grant from the national Annie E. Casey Foundation. New Futures and the district have a long experience of workini together, and their work on middle schools offers a promise of success for high schools. Cahill said. One of the first steps in developing plans for each of Little Rocks five high schools will be to hire a project director, Don Crary, executive director of New Futures, said Wednesday. That person, who will be on the New Futures staff, will oversee efforts to go out and bring in whatever national expertise is available on how schools can raise achievement for students. Crary said the Carnegie Corp, has committed to help identify sources of information on successful schools and school districts. The planning grant will be used to send Little Rock people to see successful schools as well as bring experts in. \"I think there will be a plan for each school.\" Crary said. Some schools have already begun doing some things. Well look at what they are doing and help them build on that with the national expertise. Additionally, the coalition will look at how the community can be involved in the planning and otherwise make known what it wants from the citys high schools. \"In a lot of places there is a sense that what a community- wants is more options for kids at the high school level. Crary said. \"It seems people want a lot more options for students, so they can begin to specialize in areas of interest and even begin making connections with the business community, possibly through internships. Crary said the planning process is likely to look at staff development issues and the size and organization of the high schools. Planners. for example, are likely to ! consider whether alternate sizes ! for high schools might be beneficial. Cahill said the corporation is expecting from the districts a vari- oh nf rloftnitinnc pAr (JaaH hiah ' et\\ of definitions for good high schools, programs that will benefit large numbers of students in a school, strong new instructional focuses, bold changes at the ninthgrade levels because of large numbers of students repeating the grade, small learning communities and partnerships with higher education institutions. Districts that do not ultimately get the $8 million implementation grant are still expected to benefit J from the program because they will have developed strate^c plans and strengthened community partnerships, said Neil Grabois, vice president and director of strategic planning for Carnegie. The efforts wont be wasted, he said, adding that funding for implementation of the plans may be available from other sources. SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 2001  7 school distncts to get learning centers program money THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Seven school districts across Arkansas have been tagged to receive money under the U.S. Education Departments 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.

The two-year grant, distributed through the No Child Left Behind Act, will create the Accelerated Student Achievement Program at six district schools, interim superintendent Morris Holmes said at a news conference at Hall High School. This money is going somewhere. Holmes said. This energy and excitement is going somewhere. The schools participating in tlie program are Hall and Mc- Clellan high schools and Henderson, Cloverdale, Southwest and Mabelvale middle schools. Through the program, which begins May 1, advanced placement teachers will participate in conferences, workshops and other professional development opportunities. The program also includes online resources for high school students, tutoring and a college preparation awareness program for middle school students. Nina Rees, deputy undersecretary for innovation and improvement in the U.S. Department of Education, said the grant is intended to increase student participation in advanced placement. If you offer the coursework, the students will come, she said ,, See GRANT, Page 8B B fc*  / 1 I I I pi'!' r ^1- .4' I ! i i // lU  /1 I / Arkansas Democral-Gazetle/STEVE KEESEE Nina Rees, a deputy undersecretary for the U.S. Department of Education, presents a check to the Little Rock School District for $1.3 million on Monday.

We have to make sure the funding comes available. In the 2002-03 school year, enrollment for advanced place- I ment course in the district was 3,287. Students taking more than one course may be counted multiple times in that figure. Preparing students for college is a moral issue, Holmes said. It is wrong for us to continue down this road and not have a significantly larger number of our children excel, he said. The grant is part of the federal advanced-placement incentives program. President Bushs 2005 budget includes a 119 percent increase for the incentives program, from $23.5 million to $51.5 million, Rees said. The goal of the grant is to in-struction, said he also hopes to increase the number of students who take the advanced placement exams. We have very few students proportionately who take the AP exam, Glasgow said. Thats something we need to change. The program also aims to increase awareness among parents of middle and high school students, Cleaver said, including regular parent meetings and district- wide parent conferences. A lot of times, theyre not aware of it, Cleaver said. Weve got to work with the counselors and the families to let them know about these courses and how they can help.

The $3,605 award will enable Buehling to expand her 35-mem-ber, after-school band to 46 members. Buehlings grant was one of 26 grants totaling about $85,000 distributed to unsuspecting teachers throughout Little Rock on Wednesday. Three separate school-bus loads of balloon-carrying community leaders  including Little Rock Mayor Jim Dailey, Lt. Gov.

The money will be used to for programs to enrich school curriculums and give teachers a chance to use creative approaches to learning, said foundation executive director Vicki Saviers. \"These are innovative ideas and you have to give teachers an opportunity to try new ideas even when sometimes they dont have the money, Saviers said. The projects are diverse. Mann Middle School students will use computers to analyze weather as part of its School Weathernet Program. Washington Elementary will use its grant to diversify and expand its library offerings. And Gibbs Elementary students will design a quilt that illustrates the experience of Japanese children imprisoned in Arkansas two internment camps during World War n. This is just excellent, said Mary Thompson, the presidentelect of Pulaski Heights Middle Schools Parent-Teacher Association and mother of two children in the district. The foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving schools in the Little Rock School District. That goal  along with the grants  is something the community can only benefit from, Thompson said. Little Rock Mayor Jim Dailey agreed. Obviously, creating a better school system is something that helps the community, but even more important than that, is the symbolic act of recognizing these teachers ... of going out to the schools and personally say- ing 'thank you and good work, he said.

Nationwide, an estimated $1.5 billion has been raised by about 4,000 foundations, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Public Education Network, which tracks such organizations. Most of the grants will pay for programs that begin next fall. Once the programs are complete, the fouhdation will evaluate the grant program. We are going to be good stewards to our doriors.

Patricia Burns, a media specialist, was a bit speechless at first as Dailey announced the $985 grant in front of her class, but she quickly recovered and explained how the Candid Camera Kids program will teach students how to use digital cameras and manipulate digital images. I think it does mean a .lot. to these teachers to receive some validation from other adults who say, You are doing an excellent job. I think that means something, Saviers said. The foundation was formed last year and is administered by a 22-member board comprised of community leaders in business, education and city government.

WALKER RALPH WASHINGTON MARK BURNETTE SHAWN CHILDS May 9, 2000 Dr. Leslie Gamine Superintendent of Schools Little Rock School District 810 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Dr. Gamine: Would you please explain to me why there has been a number of transfer requests by teachers at Dodd Elementary over the last four or five years. Please refer to our previous reports of problems involving this principal dating back to her experiences at Mitchell. You will also find reference to our protest of her appointment by Dr. Henry Williams whose reason for her appointment appeared to be entirely subjective. I remain, ohn W. Walker JWW:js cc: Ms. Ann Brown Dr. Richard HurleyTHxin FuxHUUnuiii HAMt 02 Dec. 10,2001 Dr. Kathenne Mitchell 1605 Welch St. Little Rock, AR 72206 Dear Dr. Mitchell, For the past three years, Dodd Elementary has been the recipient of the Comprehensive School Reform Development grant awarded by the Arkansas Department of Education on a competitive basis. This grant totaled $150,000.00 and has been used to restructure our Early Literacy and Technology Literacy programs. The following is valuable information for you to consider as you address LRSD budget cuts and school closings. Implementation of the CSRD grant at Dodd Elementary has tremendously impacted both the educational and physical environment at Dodd. The resources provided by the grant have allowed us to create a literacy rich environment, provide quality staff development and expand the opportunities for parents/guardians to be involved in their childs learning. The environment of the K-2 classrooms looks different. Students are not found in rows of desks but at tables with their baskets of books reading at DEAR time or familiar reading time. They are working independently in their centers while the teacher works with small groups for guided reading and writing. They manipulate letter cards to make their spelling words and learn how words work. They are mvolved in Writers Workshop where they learn to write, edit and publish their original works. It is apparent that kids now enjoy reading. Visitors, parents and staff can readily see how much the students are reading and writing. Student displays include rough drafts, editing and published works. Student technology projects are readily visible. Test scores are beginning to show' improvements in reading and language arts The staff development has impacted the educational environment at Dodd. Teachers through their ELLA, Effective Literacy and technology training have become more confident in changing instructional practices to provide more effective ways of meeting the needs of all their students. Team meetings give teachers a chance to share whats working in the classroom, to view tapes, discuss ideas heard at conferences or from current research, and work on implementing the strategics. The team meetings have helped build teacher collaboration. Lunchtime conversations now center on student successes rather than complaints about what they cant do! The grant resources for technology have been successful both in changing teacher attitude and increasing student output. By shifting the focus to the classroom units of study, teachers have been more receptive to include technology as part of their daily teaching Ms Bumgardner, our technology consultant from Seattle, Washington, has guided the students to become more confident with the software applications and more independent in completing their projects. The r Hi I n ivuMuunuxi''\u0026lt; e-mail communication between Ms. Bumgardner and the Dodd staff and students allows for ongoing support. The grant resources have allowed teachers to have the books and needed supplies to change the delivery of the language arts instruction. Because of the resources and staff development, the teachers were receptive to working with a Literacy Coach who set up first grade model classrooms in 2001. This year the Literacy Coach is setting up second grade model classrooms. She also conducts weekly team meetings during lunch or after school for both K-1 teachers and 2\"^ grade teachers. She provides demonstration lessons for guided reading, assisted writing and writers workshop as part of the on-site staff development. Dodd was able to include a Literacy Coach in our ELLA program because we had Reading Recovery in place. Dodd Elementary has been selected by UALR for the past 4 years as a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader-in-Training site. We have been successful in having parents/guardians attend the workshops provided through the grant resources. Parents have attended the annual Pig-Out on Books, Science Fair Workshop. Family Technology Night and Write Night. We are constantly amazed at the turnout compared to evening meetings held in prior years. Parents have voiced their appreciation of the quality and variety of workshops whether its a puppet show or learning how to do a science fair project. Please find attached Readiness Scores indicating our growth in Literacy for grades K-2 and 5* grade SAT9. Note that\n 82.8% of Dodds second grade students scored at TRL 24 LRSD average of 75.4/o  73.5% of Dodds first grade students scored at TRL 16 or average of 64.0%  80% of Dodds Kindergarten students scored at TRL 2 or or above compared with the above compared with LRSD above which was the LRSD average.  Over the past 2 years the gap between K-2 black and white students has become negligible (please see page 32 in attachments)  The disparity gap is also closing in 5* grade in language on the SAT9 Fifth grade black students growth was from 30 to 55 over the last 5 years\nthe growth for fifth grade white students was from 33 to 52. We hope this information will assist you in making this difficult decision. Dodd has an outstanding K-5 literacy and technology program in place due to the restructuring made possible by the CRSD grant. We do not feel that it is a wise use of taxpayers money to spend SI50.000.00 of Federal and State funds to successfully restructure a school and then have the LRSD School Board decide it should be closed. Sincerely, Judith Yeager and Barbara Kennedy, Dodd CSRD grant administrators I ITMiin PAGE 04 Dec. 11.2001 Dear Dr. James and LRSD Board Members, As the Dodd Campus Leadership Team, we feel it is our responsibility to send this letter to request that Dodd not be closed. We are aware that budget ^ts require the LRSD board to make difficult decisions. However, we fee that it is important for the board to have valuable information beyond just enrollment numbers and test scores as these cuts are being determined. Visiting administrators, teachers, out of district educators and guests are impressed by the effort we have made and the successes our students expenence. We ItoI that in this difficult budget time, the LRSD board should also be reminded of the outstanding educational opportunities that we offer our Dodd community. Many have come from sources outside district funds. Our staff has of our resources have come from sources ouisioe oisu.wjunuo. been diligent in writing grants and securing funds to provide resources and staff development not available in other LRSD schools. Some examples include.  CSRD $150,000.00 Dodd was one of the first Arkansas schools to apply for and be awarded a renewable Federal grant of $50,000 per year. We have used these funds during the past 3 years to restructure our Early Literacy and Technology Literacy programs, to train Sherry Chambers as our Literacy Coach, set up model literacy classrooms, and employ the services of a nationally known technology consultant. The funds have also enabled us to provide annual workshops and family nights such as Pig-Out on Books, Write Night and Family Technology Night for Dodd students and parents.  EDS Technology Grant Mrs. Kennedy was awarded this competitive grant in October 2001, to further expand our progressive technology program at Dodd by introducing the ability to incorporate illustrations and documents into student and staff products. Inclusion could include original student artwork. photographs, diagrams, graphs or scanned documents.  Federal Grant for RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) Dodd receives matching funds to provide 3 books per student per year to encourage independent, recreational reading. Due to Federal budget cuts, RIF is no longer funding new programs, so this money cannot transfer to another school and funding will be lost if Dodd is closed.  RIF/Coca-Coia Foundation The Dodd RIF program was selected as an \"exceptional single-site RiF program and received 3 classroom collections of books valued at over $5,100.00. Our school is one of a select few in the state to receive these collections.  WAL-MART Foundation Grant Dodd has been the recipient of this grant for the past 3 years. This grant provides funds for books, supplies and visiting artists such as African storyteller Zinse Agginie and Linda Hebert, an Arkansas historian and artist. * Arts on Tour Grant Dodd has used this grant money for the past 5 years to provide opportunities to expand literacy through the arts. Programs this year include the Arkansas Arts Center's Teli-a-Tale Troupe production of The10/22/2001 52 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 01 Jungle Book and a Writers Workshop by Faye Hanson for 4*' grade students in preparation for the Benchmark Exam. Greater Friendship Baptist Church After School Tutoring Grant Through this grant, Dodd teachers provide tutoring and reading instruction for Dodd students three afternoons a week. We believe that none of these granting entities would feel that their money had been effectively used if Dodd is closed. The training and materials will be ineffective if the staff is dispersed to other schools. We are a team working together io impact student achievement in our Dodd community. The Dodd Campus Leadership Team would also like the board to consider these items: The dedicated Dodd staff voluntarily meets during lunchtime and after school for literacy and technology team meetings. They also attend Saturday technology training. Even though Dodd does not have a computer lab, we have a 9 station mini lab in the qiedia center and 60 AlphaSmart keyboards that are used for whole group instnjction to develop writing, desktop publishing and keyboarding skills. Mrs. Kennedy provides instruction for students through technology lessons integrated with classroom instruction using the following software\nKidPix. PowerPoint, MS Publisher, Electronic Encyclopedias, Internet and note taking from the Internet, Amazing Writing Machine, Kidspiration, Inspiration and Graph Club. An essential element of the computer literacy component is Barb Bumgardner, our technology consultant from Seattle, Washington. Barb is a media specialist at Briarcrest Elementary School and conducts technology seminars/workshops for the Bureau of Education and Research. As our consultant at Dodd, Barb spends time in the classroom modeling research strategies and designing student products with teachers that incorporate technology into benchmark/standards based units of study. She also provides training for our staff resulting in increased teacher proficiency in software applications. It is important to note that our school is driven by our School Improvement Plan and all the items mentioned focus on one thing - improving student achievement. While our past Benchmark scores have been poor, we are seeing results in K-S that will impact our future test results. At a recent LRSD board meeting. Dr. Bonnie Leslie praised Dodd for being 'an example of a successful school implementing both ELLA strategies and Reading Recovery, in the second year of the program implementation, both grades 1 and 2 M improved significantly. The gap was virtually closed in grade 1.' Dodd has both primary and intermediate Special Education Self-Contained classes for children with difficulty adjusting to a regular classroom environment. Because Dodd is a small school and has welcomed and nurtured these students, suspension rates for the students have dropped significantly from previouR years.10/ 72001 52 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 02  Most Importantly, it should be noted that our Dodd population was drastically reduced due to district rezoning several years ago. The Dodd staff and Campus Leadership Team met with Junious Babbs and Baker Kurrus to address our concerns. We were assured that Dodd would not be closed and that the attendance zone would be \"tweaked\" if our population became too small. This was not done. Our current school population is 196. Unlike other urban attendance zones with limited growth, we now have the opportunity for growth due to new construction in our attendance zone. Construction on 50 new homes in the Kenwood Subdivision will begin in January 2002. New houses are also being built in the Pecan Lake and Tall Timber subdivisions. The developers projection is 2.5 children per household, which would drastically increase our school population. We know that difficult budget decisions must be made. However, we also hope that the LRSD Board will consider the outstanding programs and staff at Dodd, the Impact of lost grant funds on the district if Dodd is closed and our potential for population growth as these budget decisions are made. Please come visit and observe the wonderful educational opportunities our students experience at Dodd before you decide its fate. Sincerely, Dodd Campus Leadership Team10/22/2001 05:17 5014557413 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 02 December 10, 2001 DEAR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS\nWe, as PARENT OF DAVID O DODD ELEMENTARY, are extremely concerned over rhe proposed closing of our school. We feel that you may not have all the vital information regarding Dodd Elementary that you need to make a decision about closing our school. Dodd currently has an enrollment of 195 students with a new subdivision on David 0. Dodd Road which will begin new construction January 2002. We feel that Dodd has much potential to grow.. Furthermore, enrollment over the past several years has been affected by the Districts decision to cut our attendance zone, sending many of our former students to Otter Creek. Removal of our 6* graders also resulted in a loss of 40 students. We also would like for the Board to have a picture of our staff at Dodd and what they provide to students. Dodd has a high number of staff who have expertise in their field: reading and technology especially. We understand that having this kind of staffing costs more, but as parents we can not put a price on our childrens education. This staff has, on their own time, obtained numerous grants to provide students with the best educational resources. We are often referred to as, The best kept secret in the Little Rock School District. Dodd meets racial guidelines set by the District. Tlie Dodd racial balance is currently 59.5/40.5. We feel that this makes us a stronger school community. As parents we are all willing to use our resources to ensure that our children receive the BEST education from the BEST teachers/. Transporting Dodds children away from their neighborhood is NOT THE ANSWER!10/22/20C1 05\n17 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIH PAGE 03 10/22/2001 05: 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 04 ! i 05 18/22/2001 05:17 5014557419 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 07 01 LRSD PAGE 1 SCHOOL: SCHOOL COUNTS BY SCHOOL 2001/12/12 032 DODD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Class Black Count Black Percent Other Count Other Percent Total Count Min % Black Max % Black Max Capacity K P4 SP 01 02 03 04 05 17 11 10 17 18 17 13 13 54.8% 61.1% 83.3% 53.1% 56.3% 60.7% 61.9% 65.0% 14 7 2 15 14 11 8 7 45.2% 38.9% 16.7% 46.9% 43.8% 39.3% 38.1% 35.0% 31 18 12 32 32 28 21 20 .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% 73.8% .0% .0% .0% .0% .0% 40 18 0 46 34 35 25 25 Total 116 59.8% 78 40.2% 194 F2=Screen wait F12=BrGak F3=Exit F14=View F6=Top line F9=Retrieve FlO-Top FilBottom10/22/2001 05:17 5014557413 FAITH MCLAUGHLIN PAGE 03 URGENT !!!

DECEMBER 14, 2001  I Parents plead cases, ! but two schools stay in budget axs reach LR board hears of virtues of smallness, then adds Fair Park to possible closures BY CYNTHIA HOWELL ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE Faced with the possible loss of their neighborhood schools next year to budget cuts, parents and others from the Badgett and David O. Dodd elementary school communities Thursday extolled the virtues of their small schools to the Little Rock School Board. Board members were sympathetic and made no final decisions. However, by the end of the meeting, the School Board not only directed Superintendent Kenneth James to continue planning for the possible closing of Badgett and Dodd as a way to save about $1.7 million. but also asked him to prepare feasibility study on closing a a third small school. Fair Park Elementary at 616 N. Harrison St, where about 200 pupils attend classes. The presidents of the parentteacher associations from both Dodd and Badgett presented the School Board with petitions Thursday pleading to keep their schools. Were going to refuse to let Dodd close, Tiwana Noon- er, a parent of three Dodd pupils, said. Were going to fight. Dodd parents and community members pointed to the number of grants that the school has received in recent years to restructure the way reading and language arts are taught. Those grants and programs may not all be transferable to other schools, they said. Additionally, they argued that the specially trained staff members will be scattered across the district, diluting the effectiveness of their training. Diane Krippendorf, a community member, also pointed out that as many as 200 new homes are planned for the Dodd attendance zone, which should boost the schools enrollment over the next few years. District officials said the new homes might bring in 14 to 20 new children for the school in each of the ne.xt two years. James has said that the possible school closings are just one See SCHOOLS, Page 9B I Schools  Continued from Page 1B area for potential budget cuts, and that he and his staff are preparing recommendations for more reductions. In response to School Board members who said they cant decide on closing schools without knowing what their other options are, James said he will give them some proposals after the first of the year.

Dodd, 6423 Stagecoach Road, has 188 pupils, which is 69 percent of the buildings capacity. The average elementary school in the district has about 360 students. The district would save $536,048 by closing the regular Badgett school and another $479,669 by closing the charter cause of retirements and resignations.

Porfiris said her efforts are on behalf of all three schools proposed for closing, but said her heart stays with Dodd Elementary School, since it has been the education base for all four of her children. Her youngest, Jimmy, is a fourthgrader at the school. Dodd is at 69 percent capacity this year with 188 students studying in classrooms built to hold 271 students. Those students have literacy scores that exceed the district average and have been the 'indirect recipients of several recent grants, the largest of which is a $150,000 Comprehensive School Reform Development grant from the Arkansas Department of Education. Judith Yeager and Barbara Kennedy, administrators of the state grant program, wrote a letter to the School Board, praising the achievements of Dodd Elementary School.

When the School Board meets Jan. 10, however, the deciding factor win be money, not test scores. Superintendent Kenneth James said closing Dodd, Fair Park and Badgett elementary schools will help offset a $2.4 million cut in state funding the district had counted on for the coming year. Closing Dodd and Fair Park will each save the district $700,000 annually and Badgetts closing will save another $500,000, James said. The movement of charter students back to their neighborhood schools would save about $480,000, for a total projected savings of $2.4 million. \"Its always hard to close schools, James said. People are very close to their schools and I understand that, but regardless of what happens here, its still my job to bring ideas to the board on how to make cuts and balance the budget. James warned that a larger cut i in state funding could happen after the new year if the economy remains on a path to recession. \"Couple that with salary obligations, and we've got to make a minimum $6 million cut to balance the budget,\" he warned. The schools are targets for  I closing because of their small enrollments and high per-student costs. Badgett, at 6900 Pecan Road near Little Rock National Airport, Adams Field, has 153 students in its regular program and another 80 enrolled in the districts charter program at the site. Dodd, at 6423 Stagecoach Road, has 188 students. Fair Park Elementary, off Kavanaugh Boulevard, has 200 students. Those displaced students will be distributed throughout the district. According to preliminary plans, Badgett students would move to Rockefeller and Washington elementary schools, with the schools charter students returning to the schools in their attendance zones. Dodd students would be divided among Western Hills, Romine and Otter Creek elementary schools. The district has not discussed a moving plan for Fair Park students. Porfiris organization will meet with the School Board Jan. 7 in a last-minute effort to influence their Jan. 10 vote. The board plans to bring the principals from the other schools that would absorb the Dodd, Fair Park and Badgett students if the schools are closed. It almost sounds like they have their minds made up, she said. Id really like to think that we have a chance and not just blowing in the wind. Kurrus said he has gone to great length to inform people that school closure is no more than an option at this point. I dont think anybodys made up their minds. Weve got to do something, we cant just afford to ignore that we will lose revenue while our expenses continue to climb. But were considering different options, not just closing schools, he said. If the schools are closed, it will affect more than the students. Porfiris said new housing developments near Dodd Elementary will suffer with the loss of a neighborhood school. She has recruited Becky Finney, a real estate developer with Rainey Realty to fight the closure of Dodd. Pecan Ridge. Tall Timber and Kenwood subdivisions have expansions in progress. The School Board estimates those growing subdivisions would increase Dodd enrollment by up to 20 students next year and 15 students the following year. Kurrus said nothing is off limits for balancing the budget. The one thing he deems sacred are teacher salaries and raises. \"To have the best teachers, I feel that we have to reward them financially, he said. Kurrus said streamlining the districts administrative process, ending property tax breaks as corporate incentives and get the district out of court over desegregation are all good options for balancing the budget. Porfiris is banking on alternatives to save Dodd. \"And if it comes down to fire the caretaker, heck, well come up there and mow the grass ourselves, she said.J a n u a r y 3. 2 0 0 2 1 District sets sessions on closing 3 schools ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE The Little Rock School District will hold a series of public meetings, beginning today, at three low-enrollment schools under consideration for closing.

Dodd Elementary School in Little Rock and East End Elementary School in Sheridan have been named state winners in the national Reading Is Fundamental Reading Challenge. During the two-week-long challenge in March, teachers dressed up as characters out of easy-readers and led children and parents in chants and cheers about the fun and magic of reading. Schools were awarded pomts for every child who read a minimum number of hours during the reading challenge, and also scored points when children visited the local library or got involved in other reading-related activities. Ten schools in Arkansas participated in the program. Dodd won in the smaller schools category, and East End won as a larger school. At a ceremony in the East End school gym Thursday afternoon, Karla Koon, the schools librarian, and Shane Broadway, speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives, honored the schools highest performing students. Eighteen students had done all the reading and bonus activities to amass 150 points. At the close of the ceremony, Koon cautioned the students to keep up their good habits. Remember, you can explore new places by reading anytime, anywhere, and all year long, she said.\nThis project was supported in part by a Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives project grant from The Andrew W.

This document has been produced to provide information to parents regarding the mathematics curriculum currently being taught, tested and reviewed in all eight middle schools of the Little Rock School District. Q: What is Connected Mathematics? A: Connected Mathematics (CMP) is a middle school mathematics curriculum. Designed for grades 6, 7, and 8, it is a problem-based curriculum connecting different areas within mathematics, mathematics to other subject areas, and mathematics to applications in the world outside school. Q: Why are we making changes in the middle school curriculum? A: The curriculum in CMP offers Little Rock a much more rigorous middle school curriculum than we have had in the past. Little Rock needed a more rigorous curriculum at the middle school in order for our students to be successful in Algebra I and other higher level mathematics courses. By law, the Arkansas Mathematics Frameworks outlines the mathematics standards that all students are expected to achieve. Students success in reaching the middle grades (5-8) standards is measured by an exam called the 8* grade Benchmark exam. 89% of the students taking the Arkansas Benchmark exam given in the 8** grade scored below basic. Our past middle school mathematics curriculum has not always provided good preparation for our students. The Third International Math and Science study shows that only the top 5% of American students can perform as well as the top 25% of students internationally. Q\nDoes CMP emphasize the basic skills? A: Basic skills are a vital part of CMP. In addition to the basic skills practice embedded in CMP, Little Rock teachers will reinforce basic skills through homework assignments and mini-units as time permits. Calculators are used as a valuable teaching tool in CMP as well as in the mathematics programs at all Little Rock schools, but they are not used as a substitute for students learning the basics. Q: How has Connected Mathematics been implemented in Little Rock? A: Little Rock is entering its second year of implementation of the Connected Mathematics curriculum in 2000-01. Year one implemented 6^ grade\nyear two added 7^ and o\" grade. Q\nIs there any research about Connected Math? A: Yes. The National Science Foundation funded several curriculum projects to design and implement curriculum that was outlined in the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in the late 198Os. The Connected Math Project was developed at Michigan State University with a National Science Foundation grant. Units were developed and extensively piloted in 19 states over several years with the final version published in 1996. CMP has more research behind it than the programs we have used in the past. It is the only program that has been developed from the ground up rather than taking an existing program and modifying it by adding suggestions for manipulative, alternative assessment, group work, etc. Additional information is available on the Web at www.mth.msu.edu/CA4R 2Q: What is the result on student achievement from implementing Connected Mathematics? A: The results will be monitored closely in Little Rock. At the end of each module, students achievement will be measured according to the Districts benchmarks for mathematics. Stanford 9 scores for the 7**^ grade and ACTAAP scores for e and 8 grades will be closely monitored. In addition, individual student growth will be measured at all grade levels by the use of the levels tests (ALTs) given in the fall and spring of each year. Schools that have been using CMP for several years (Travers City, Michigan, and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for example) state their students perform very well in high school. Many of them have such strong mathematical backgrounds that they are able to skip Algebra I and move directly into geometry. Q: How is Connected Mathematics different from the math taught in the traditional math class? A\nContent presented in the CMP is very similar to a traditional program. CMP students are required by state law to cover the same material as students in other programs. Therefore, CMP students will be well prepared to enter Algebra I. What is different is the way the content is delivered. WHAT students learn is shaped by HOW they learn. Students work individually, in pairs and in groups of four. This strategy allows students to experience different points of view and offers opportunities for students to share their opinions and strategies about mathematical processes. Students are assessed individually with homework grades, quizzes, tests, and projects. Q: Are there Connected Mathematics textbooks? A: Yes. All students have their own textbooks. However, the textbook is published in separate booklets. The booklets are three-hole punched and can be carried in students three-ring binders. Parent handbooks for each unit will be available for checkout from the school libraries to aid parents in helping their children at home. Q: Do teachers receive training in order to teach Connected Mathematics? A: Teachers received two days of training for each booklet. Since CMP is so heavily correlated to the Arkansas State Benchmark exam given in the 8** grade, and this year in the e* grade, our teachers were already very well prepared in terms of curriculum. The only difference is the methodology of delivery. Q: Is this anything like the old new Math? A: No. The content of CMP is based on traditional mathematics concepts. The difference is that instead of working on computation skills alone, the students learn mathematics in the context of actual situations, such as those they will have to face in the work place. Q: Where can I learn more about Connected Math? A: You can get information from the Connected Mathematics web site. The address for this web site is www.mth.msu.edu/CMP/CMP.html. Please feel free to talk to your childs teacher or school principal about the mathematics program if you have additional questions, or call Dennis Glasgow, Director of Math and Science, or Docia Jones, middie-school math lead teacher, at 324-0520. 3LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT CMP CURRICULUM for Grades 6, 7, \u0026amp; 8 6** Grade 7' Grade e\"* Grade Prime Time Number theory\nprimes\ncomposites, factors and multiples Bits and Pieces ii Using rational numbers: computation Moving Straight Ahead Linear relationships expressed in words, tables, graphs, and symbols Data About Us Data investigation\nformulating questions, gathering data, organizing and analyzing data, making decisions based on data Accentuate the Negative Understanding and using integers Bits and Pieces I Understanding rational numbers: fractions, decimals, and percents Shapes and Designs Reasoning about shapes\nshape properties\nangle measure and Variables and Patterns Introducing Algebra\nvariables, tables, graphs, and symbols as representations Filling and Wrapping 3-D measurement For Pre-AP add Moving Straight Ahead Linear relationships expressed in words, tables, graphs and symbols Covering and Surrounding Measurement: area and perimeter Thinking with Mathematical Models Introduction to functions and modeling Growing, Growing, Growing...

Content is presented in a spiral effect through 6*^, 7'*', and 8 grade. The order in which the concepts are introduced differs from the previous program\nconcepts are presented in thematic modules. Basic math skills are emphasized. Isolated skills are taught with little problem solving application. Integrated skills are taught in order to solve real- world problems and promote critical thinking. Formulas and application of formulas are emphasized. Formulas are taught first and little application or extension activities are provided. Application problems are presented first and students are asked to derive formulas from logical reasoning of patterns. Calculator use is integrated into instruction when appropriate. Most students lack the confidence to solve problems without a calculator. CMP students use calculators as tools to be used at appropriate time to solve problems. Teacher editions provide examples and answers to problems. The curriculum expects teachers to see the same outcome from each student\nsome traditional books provide outlines. Possible student scenarios are given\nprovides Daily progressive outlines are provided in order to reach targeted objectives. Cooperative learning is up to the individual teacher. Lessons cater to the individual learner. A wealth of opportunities to incorporate cooperative learning is provided. 5Previous Program I Current Program Student textbooks are provided. Traditional books provide examples and practice in order for students to achieve mastery through concentrated repetition. CMP books provide problems that encourage a variety of solution strategies with teachers providing additional computation practice. Homework problems are assigned for practice daily. 20-50 problems concentrating on one objective are provided\nmost problems are repetitive practice. 3-8 problems are assigned over the objective, while incorporating other objectives and asking students to explain answers. Students are taught problem-solving strategies. Problem-solving is isolated in one unit of the text. Problem-solving is taught throughout the curriculum. Teacher directed learning is provided in both programs. Students are passive learners. Teachers guide students to be active learners. Assessment materials are provided for the teacher. All assessments follow a similar format in which students are asked to recall facts and formulas. A variety of assessments are provided, allowing students to express their knowledge through a wide spectrum of higher order thinking skills. Students are expected to show how they arrived at an answer. Work shown is typically mathematical and very little verbal explanation is given. Students are expected to be able to verbally explain how they worked their problem and why they chose a particular strategy. 6Why Connected Mathematics!^ The Little Rock School Districts Secondary Mathematics Textbook Selection Committee recommended Connected Mathematics to the Superintendent for adoption in the middle grades (6-8) for two primary reasons: 1. The traditional mathematics program was not producing desired achievement results. 2. Much evidence convinced the committee that Connected Mathematics would improve the academic performance of students in the middle grades. Mathematics Achievement of Past Years  Benchmark Examination for eighth grade mathematics - Students took this examination required for state accountability purposes for the first time in 1998-99. (The results for 1999-00 are not available yet.) Results were reported as the percentage of students who were either advanced, proficient, basic, or below basic. The state considered students who scored in the proficient or advanced range as being at grade level or above and those who scored in the basic or below basic as being below grade level. Results from the 1519 eighth grade students who took the exam were: Scoring Range Advanced Proficient Basic_______ Below Basic 1998-99 2% '0% 24% 6^ Only 11 % of the students were at or above grade level on the examination. 31 % of white students were at or above grade level and 3% of black students were at or above grade level.  Stanford Achievement Test, Edition taken by seventh grade students - This national test is taken by all seventh grade students in the area of mathematics. The students who took the test in 1997-98 through 1999-2000 were compared to all students nationwide and grouped according to the number who were scored in the 0 - 25^ percentile range (first quartile), the 26 - SO** percentile range (second quartile), the 51 - 75**' percentile range (third quartile), and the 76 - 99'*^ percentile range (fourth quartile). Those students in the third and fourth quartiles scored above the national average, and those students in the first and second quartiles scored below the national average. Results from the test were: 7Grade 7 Quartile Fourth Third Second First 97-98 17% 18% 21% 44% 98-99 16% 19% 26% 40% 99-00 18% 18% 22% 41% Results show that the number of students above the national average in mathematics in grade 7 was only about 36%. The remaining students, about 64%, were below the national average in mathematics. Desired Mathematics Performance for the Future The Arkansas Comprehensive Testing, Assessment, and Accountability Program (ACTAAP) has established the following performance goals:  Tier 1 - 100% of a school's students shall perform at or above the proficient level in mathematics on the eighth grade Benchmark Examination in Mathematics.  Tier 2 - (If the 100% goal is not met, a trend or improvement goal must be met.) The percent of students performing at or above the proficient level in mathematics on the eighth grade Benchmark Examination in Mathematics will meet or exceed a 10% growth each year. The National Science Foundation Cooperative Agreement contains the following goals\n The Little Rock School District agrees to enact policies and practices that will contribute to an annual increase of 5% for Years 3-5 in the test scores of underrepresented minority students in mathematics as measured by the following tests\nMathematics Test Measures Achievement Level Tests________________ Stanford Achievement Test______________ Arkansas Benchmark Examination________ American College Testing (ACT) EXPLORE exam Grade(s) Implemented 3-11 5,7,10 4,6,8 8 8Why Connected Mathematics Can Improve Mathematics Achievement State pilot school district data and national reports indicate that Connected Mathematics improves achievement in mathematics. In Arkansas five middle schools representing five different school districts piloted Connected Mathematics for three years before students took the eighth grade Benchmark Examination in mathematics. The percentage of students in each of the four achievement categories for the pilot school districts, the state, and the Little Rock School District are presented in the chart below: LR Schools State Schools Below Basic Basic______ Proficient Advanced 65% 24% 9% 2% 47% 40% 11% 2% CMP Pilots Schools 28% 49% 19% 4% The greater the number of students in the below basic category, the farther behind the schools are in meeting the achievement goals set by the state. Districts piloting Connected Mathematics were much ahead of the state and the Little Rock School District in mathematics achievement on the eighth grade Benchmark Exam. The Portland, Oregon schools have implemented Connected Mathematics in its middle schools. A recent article in the Portland newspaper highlighted the increase in math scores on the state math test. The headline read City schools make big gains on state tests. The districts math coordinator predicted Portlands math scores would rise the first year the new math approach was instituted. Results proved him to be correct. The districts new math programs. Investigations for elementary school and Connected Mathtor middle school, emphasize problem-solving instead of drills and call on students to discover math concepts for themselves rather than memorize formulas. Connected Mathematics was designated as an Exemplary Program\" by a United States Department of Education Expert Panel. The panel found strong evidence for the impact of the program on gains in students understanding of mathematics, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving. The strength of the evidence was based on use of multiple measures, including tests aligned with the National Standards in Mathematics, and several types of comparisons. The American Association for the Advancement of Science rated Connected Mathematics as the number one middle school math textbook. AAAS evaluated twelve middle school math textbooks using a set of instructional criteria. 9ASSESSMENTS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS The following measures are administered annually at targeted grade levels\nName of Assessment SATO ~ Stanford Achievement Test 9\" Edition Type________________ National Norm Referenced Grade Levels Grades 5, 7,10 EXPLORE American College Test ACTAAP State Benchmark Examination National Criterion Referenced ____________ State Criterion Referenced Grade 8 Grade 8 ALT Achievement Level Test EMT End of Math Module Tests ACTAAP State End of Course Exams Local Criterion Referenced with National Comparison Group Local Criterion Referenced State Criterion Referenced 10 Grades 6-8 Grades 6-8 Algebra, geometryWhat Effect Will Connected Mathematics Have on SA T-9, ACT, and SA T Scores? SAT-9 A study was done which compared the performance of eight pilot Connected Mathematics middle schools to the state average on the Stanford Achievement Test in mathematics given to fifth grade students in 1995 and to the same students again as seventh graders in 1997. At the time the Stanford-9 was given the pilot school students had only had one year of the Connected Mathematics curriculum. The results were: CMP schools State schools Stanford-9 1995 NCE 44.58 43.00 Stanford-9 1997 NCE 49.92 47.00 Difference +5.34* +4.00 This increase is statistically significant ACT, SAT Although students who have taken Connected Mathematics have not moved into the high schools yet, we are confident that students will do well as well as or better than before on the mathematics part of ACT and SAT. These assessments, like many others, have responded to the NCTM Standards in Mathematics in developing assessment questions. The tests require students to use their reasoning skills to solve practical problems in mathematics which is a strength of Connected Mathematics. 11Will Connected Mathematics Prepare My Child for Algebra 1 and Higher Level Mathematics? We think that Connected Mathematics will superbly prepare students for Algebra 1 and above. Many students will be ready to take Algebra 1 in the eighth grade after two years of Connected Mathematics. Others may continue in Connected Mathematics in the eighth grade and either take Algebra 1 in its traditional location in the ninth grade or take the Algebra 1 End of Course Exam after eighth grade Connected Mathematics. We feel that many students will have all their Algebra 1 skills mastered after eighth grade Connected Mathematics. Following is an excerpt from Getting to Know Connected Mathematics that addresses the algebra in CMP. Many people think of algebra as a course at high school, towards which all prior mathematics has been heading. Students enter the traditional course somewhat in awe of the lofty position they have reached, and are often discouraged to find that the mathematical ideas and skills they have previously developed do not seem related to success in a traditional Algebra 1. The popular impression in the community at large is that algebra is the ability to manipulate symbols, usually following instructions to simplify and expression, or solve an equation. Traditionally students memorize rules, focusing on specific strategies for specific problems. The symbols and rules often are meaningless to students, who try to survive by memorizing and, thus, only retain the ideas for a short time. There is little evidence that students develop algebraic reasoning, including symbolic reasoning, from this kind of experience. In fact, the development of algebraic ideas can and should take place over a long period of time, prior to attempts to deal solely with abstract symbols, and well before the first year of high school. The philosophy of how students learn mathematicsthat is, students develop algebraic reasoning and understanding while pursuing solutions to interesting problems. Having students approach algebraic ideas through investigations and problems allows students to search for patterns and relationships in data, and to find ways to express these patterns, first in words and then in symbols. The algebraic units in CMP develop three important patterns, which model many real situations. By focusing on the patterns underlying the problem, asking students to describe similarities and differences across patterns, and challenging students to predict answers, the mathematics of functions and relationships is developed. For example, in the Walkathon Problem, in the unit entitled Moving Straight Ahead, students investigate the distance each person walks. 2.3 Walkathon Your class decides to raise money for a charity by competing in t he city's Walkathon. Each person in the class finds sponsors who each pledge to pay a certain amount of money for each kilometer that the person walks. The money goes to a charity. The person who raises the most money receives a new pair of Rollerblades. Sponsors 12 often ask for a suggestion of how much they should pay per kilometer. Others will follow the example of the first person who fills out the form. Your class would like to agree on how much money to ask the sponsors for. Jane argues that one dollar per kilometer would be appropriate. Bill argues for two dollars a kilometer because it would bring in more money. Amy suggested that if the price was too high not as many people would be sponsorsso she suggested that each sponsor pay a $5 donation plus an extra 50 cents per kilometer. For each price suggestion made by Bill, Jane, and Amy:  Make a table showing the total amount of money a sponsor pays for distances between 1 and 10 miles. This is called a pay plan.  Sketch a graph of the amount of money a sponsor would pay under each pay plan. Display all the graphs on the same set of axes.  Write an equation for each of the pay plans which shows how the amount of money a sponsor owes can be calculated for the total distance that a student walked. 1. 2. 3. 4. As the amount of money charged per mile is increased, what effect does this have on the table? On the equation? On the graph? A student walked 8 miles in the Walkathon. How much would her sponsors pay under each of the pay plans? Explain how you arrived at your answers. One of the sponsors paid $10 after the race. How many miles would that sponsors student have walked under each of the three pay plans? Explain how you arrived at your answers. How is Amy's fixed $5 cost represented in the table? In the equation? In the graph. In this situation the focus quickly centers on the relationship between the variables. If the rate at which a person walks is fixed, then distance depends upon (or is a function of the) time\nthat is, distance = rate x time. As students reason about this situation they are encouraged to use multiple representations, which help them to show their reasoning and also to develop understanding of the important linear relationship underlying this situation. As the time changes by one unit, the distance changes by a constant amount. This is the key feature of recognizing this constant rate of change in various representations, students develop a deep understanding of the basic linear pattern. The rate at which a person walks is the constant rate of change (or the slope of a straight line). This pattern shows up as a straight line in a graph, as an equation of the form, y = ax, and as increments of change in a table. The rate is indicated by the steepness of the line, the coefficient, a, of x in the equation, and the constant increment of change in the table. A variation of the problem has two brothers involved in a walking rave with the younger brother getting a head start. This leads to the equation, y = ax + b\nwhere a is the rate at which the younger brother walks and b represents the amount of head start. Once students have a beginning understanding of linear patterns, they then need help in recognizing this pattern in many different disguises. For example, the cost, C, of buying N compact discs at $15 each is C + 15N. Having recognized that this is the 13 same pattern as that in the Walkathon problem, students are quickly able to reason about the relationship between the variables. Using problem situations and multiple representations to represent these situations gives rise to solving equations. For example, students can use tables or graphs or they can reason about the problem. Once students have a good^ sense of what it means to solve and how these solutions relate to the variables and the problem, then the techniques of solving a linear equation symbolically are developed. CMP Algebra Goals - by the End of Eighth Grade in CMP Most Students Should be Able to:  Recognize situations in which important problems and decisions involve relations among quantitative variablesone variable changing overtime or several variables changing in response to each other.  Use numerical tables, graphs, symbolic expressions, and verbal descriptions to describe and predict the patterns of change in variables.  Recognize (in various representational forms) the patterns of change associated with linear, exponential, and quadratic functions.  Use numeric, graphic, and symbolic strategies to solve common problems involving linear, exponential, and quadratic functions. Inevitably parents and teachers will wonder how the CMP algebra strand relates to and can be compared to a traditional school algebra curriculum. The only helpful comparison to make is how well students understand algebraic ideas, and how well they employ algebraic reasoning in solving problems. Since the focus of CMP is on developing understanding, rather that on memorizing rules and processes to apply in response to instructions such as simplify or solve,\" a simple checklist of concepts and skills that appear in CMP and in traditional programs is not particularly relevant. The question of most interest to parents and teachers should be,  How well will the next mathematics course my student takes support the strong understanding of algebraic ideas developed in CMP?\" If the next course is a traditional Algebra 1, CMP students will find themselves spending large amounts of time studying processes and rules for which they see no application. The motivation for learning these rules may shift from the focus of making sense to simply memorizing to survive. Certainly, CMP students will find that many of the big ideas in Algebra 1, such as representing linear functions, solving equations, and finding equivalent forms of an expression, are familiar, and perhaps a repetition of what they already know. They will also wonder why the problems are restricted mainly to linear patterns, whereas in CMP they had also learned about other important patterns. The algebra strand in CMP will certainly prepare students for successful, if somewhat repetitive year in a traditional Algebra 1. It is to be hoped, however, that students will be fortunate enough to find themselves able to take courses that continue to challenge them to develop algebraic reasoning. High school teachers of these students need to be aware that these students have begun to develop an understanding of functions that is far beyond a traditional Algebra 1 approach. 14How Will the District Know Whether Connected Mathematics is Working? A number of avenues will be used to know whether Connected Mathematics is working. First, after each module, an End of Module Test will be given to every student. The End of Module Tests will assess the mathematics content and skills that were targeted for that module. We will be looking to see if the majority of students achieved mastery (75% of the items were answered correctly) on each test. The End of Module Tests were developed locally by teachers and specialists to match the Connected Mathematics curriculum. Secondly, students will take fall and spring Achievement Levels Tests (ALT) in mathematics. This test is based on the Little Rock School District and state standards for mathematics. The achievement on this math test will tell us whether our students are learning what we expected them to learn and will also let us see how our students are achieving compared to a large comparison group of students nationally who take the same test. We will look closely at the ALT scores to see how our students perform compared to the national group. We expect our students to make a full years growth in mathematics each year and to perform at or near the same level as the national group. Based on the first administration of the ALT, our students performed well, only slightly behind the national comparison group. We will be looking forthat gap to close during the next few administrations. Thirdly, and most importantly, students in the eighth grade will take the high stakes Sate Benchmark Examination in mathematics. We expect good growth in the percentage of students who move from one achievement level to the next higher level (from basic to proficient for example). This growth should start appearing in the Benchmark scores from the spring 2001 administration of the exam. This will be the first administration where the students have been enrolled in a full year of Connected Mathematics before they take the exam. At the same time that the measures mentioned above are being watched, we want to make sure that our nationally normed tests such as the SAT-9 (7* grade) and the EXPLORE (8* grade) hold steady or increase. While our main objective is for students to achieve on the critically important State Benchmark Examination, we want to make sure that our students are improving in relation to other students around the country. 15MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS LEAD TEACHER/CONSULTANT The District has employed a lead teacher for middle school mathematics.

(344 Little Rock School District OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT October 4, 2000 Ann Brown, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring 201 East Markham - Suite 510 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Ms. Brown: We appreciate your sharing the information from your staff visits to the noted schools. I have made copies of the information and given information to the appropriate supervisor for review. A couple of years ago we would have had great difficulty dealing with the maintenance and renovation issues. Today I suspect we will have most of these items already in a maintenance, replacement or renovation cycle. Thanks again for sharing the information with us. Sincerely, Leslie V. Gamine Superintendent of Schools cc: Brady Gadberry Sadie Mitchell Donald Stewart 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501) 324-2012r Office of Desegregation Monitoring United States District Court  Eastern District of Arkansas Ann S. Brown, Federal Monitor 201 East Markham, Suite 510 Heritage West Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501) 376-6200 Fax (501) 371 -0100 October 2, 2000 Dr. Les Carnine, Superintendent Little Rock School District 810 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Les: As you know, each fall as the new school year gets underway, ODM informally monitors some of the schools in all three districts. The observations we make are in the same vein as those of parents, students, and staff as they enter a building to start the new year. Thus we pay attention to the aspects of a school that are most likely to initially impress those entering it, such as the condition of the grounds, building upkeep and cleanliness, displays and furnishings, student and staff conduct, and so forth. Last month we visited nine LRSD schools\nFranklin, Jefferson, Mabelvale, Meadowcliff Rightsell, Stephens, and Woodruff Elementaries\nDunbar Middle School\nand Hall High. Attached is a list of what we observed at each of them. We intend for these comments to give you, your administrators, and the principals of these buildings the benefit of our impressions. As has been our custom, we will not publish or file these observations at this time, although we could eventually factor them into some aspect of a report. I hope the enclosed information is helpful. Please dont hesitate to call if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely yours, QW Ann S. Brown Enc. cc: Brady Gadberry Sadie Mitchell Building principalsFranklin Elementary School We were pleased to note that:  The American flag was displayed on the flagpole in front of the school.  A table to welcome parents was manned by a volunteer in the entry next to the Parent Center.  A large, attractive display in the main lobby featured student work.  The floors in the corridors were waxed, polished, and free of debris.  Security personnel were visible in the corridors.  An attractive border was painted above the windows in the corridor.  The school had a wheelchair lift at the stairwell.  Students looked neat and attractive in their multicolored school uniforms.  The media center, which had complete computer capability, was attractively decorated with several book displays.  When completed, the large mural of children playing (which was titled Great Expectations) will be an attractive addition to the cafeteria.  In the cafeteria, the windows were exceptionally clean and the floor was clean and waxed.  All restrooms were clean and supplied with paper products.  The wheelchair-accessible stall in a girls restroom had two handrails. We also noted some areas needing attention:  Several cars were parked on the lawn due to inadequate paved parking spaces.  One slide on the playground was broken and hazardous.  Exposed overhead wiring in the corridors was unsightly.  The stench from a dead dog located near the cafeteria was horrible. Workers reported that the dog had been there for two weeks.  The air in the kitchen was stagnant and almost unbearably hot.  Swaths of paint were peeling from the cafeteria walls.  The restrooms on the upper levels were uncomfortably warm.  Several restrooms lacked soap and several faucets were inoperable.  One girls restroom had some tissue wads on the ceiling.  The mirror in the girls restroom in the kindergarten wing was placed too high on the wall for kindergartners to use.  Few restrooms were handicapped accessible.Jefferson Elementary School We were pleased to note that:  Both the U.S. and the Arkansas flags were flying from the schools flagpole.  The grass was mowed and the campus was litter free.  A new play structure was being installed in front of the school for four-year-old students.  We saw student work on display throughout the school.  The corridors were clean, well lit, and attractively decorated with motivational posters and materials.  The new media center, which was spacious and pretty, had a voluminous book collection that was enhanced with 10 on-line computer workstations, computers for word processing, and a fully automated management system.  The girls restroom in the main hall was fully supplied. We also noted some areas needing attention:  The area south of the school was filled with weeds, many of which were waist high.  All of the windows throughout the school were dirty, some were cracked, and others were covered with cobwebs or tape residue.  The metal door covering a breaker box was unlocked and ajar.  The kitchen was too hot for safe working conditions.  The gas unit to one of the cooking vats was leaking.  The kitchen had no safety mats in the wet areas.  None of the boys restrooms had soap or mirrors.  The windows in one boys restroom were cracked and dirty. * The girls restroom in the main hall was in very poor condition: the temperature was sweltering, the floor was strewn with paper towels, the wall paint was in poor condition, a metal grate was rusted and unsightly, and the room had no access for the disabled.  Restrooms in one area were not labeled by gender.Mabelvale Elementary School We were pleased to note that:  The U.S. and Arkansas flags were flying from a flagpole in front of the school.  The entry area included a coffee table, chairs, and attractive living plants.  All classrooms were clearly numbered and labeled with the teachers names and grade level.  The students we observed were on-task and actively engaged.  Staff and students were very friendly, each offering a cheery good morning when encountered.  The school had a fully-equipped physical education classroom.  Colorful jungle-themed murals brightened the hallways.  Corridor floors were waxed and spotless.  Student work describing the first day of school was already displayed near the 3\"* grade classrooms.  Fire extinguishers were clearly visible in the corridors.  A handrail was affixed to the corridor wall where the floor inclined, facilitating accessibility for disabled students.  The playground had sufficient pea gravel and an adequate assortment of equipment.  Furnishings in the cafeteria were clean and in good repair.  The cafeteria floor was clean and free of debris  The kitchen was clean and well ventilated.  The common restroom area contained soap and paper towels.  At least one girls and one boys restroom had a handicapped accessible stall that included two handrails.  The girls restroom contained hooks on the stall doors, providing a place to hang purses or back packs to keep them off the floor.  All restrooms were well lit, odor free, and supplied with toilet paper.  The tile work in most restrooms was in good repair. We also noted some areas needing attention:  Although the grass had been mowed recently, weeds had not been clipped from the edge of walkways.  Hedges were overgrown and needed trimming.  Mats at the schools back door were torn, worn, and imbedded with grass from the playground.  The ceiling under the front breezeway was torn and weathered in places.  The corridor walls were clean, but the yellow paint showed signs of wear.  Although clean and waxed, many floor tiles in the building were cracked, chipped, or broken.  A wall in the S* grade wing had several holes, apparently from the removal of a water fountain.  In the cafeteria, three large paintings on wood canvasses featured family farm scenes and a picnic, but all the people in the paintings were white.  The stage was very small and its carpet frayed.  An old office desk and several student desks were scattered haphazardly on the stage and in the cafeteria.  The textured ceiling in the cafeteria was very dingy.  Preparation aisles in the kitchen were narrow and cramped.Mabelvale Elementary School Page 2  The kitchen wash areas had no wet mats.  The kitchen ceiling showed evidence of leaks.  The carpeting in the media center, although clean, was torn and the padding badly compressed.  Several ceiling tiles adjacent to the media center and in other areas of the building were spotted with water.  In one girls restroom, the base tiles were cracked along the entire wall and the toilet paper was not placed in holders.  Stall dividers and doors in a girls restroom were stained and scratched with graffiti.  Two of three girls restrooms were not handicapped accessible.MeadowclifT Elementary School We were pleased to note that:  The campus was neat, tidy, and free of litter and debris.  The playground included a large attractive climbing structure that appeared new.  Most of the building was comfortably cool on a fiercely hot day.  The entry foyer featured welcome signs\na table set up as a Parent Center held various information.  The volunteer sign-in sheet was prominently accessible in the foyer.  The staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly, and the students we saw were very well behaved.  Hall floors throughout the building were clean and shiny.  Throughout the building, teacher-made visuals proclaimed welcome to students whose names were included in many of the displays.  The media center, which featured numerous bright, colorful displays, had five on-line computers, as well as computers for word processing.  In the cafeteria, the floor was clean and waxed to a high gloss and the furnishings were in good repair.  Ceiling fans and window shades helped keep the cafeteria cool on the very warm day.  Red Ribbon and L.O.V.E. (Let Our Violence End) banners brightened the cafeteria.  A fire extinguisher was within hand reach in a hallway.  The restrooms were clean and supplied with paper products. We also noted some areas needing attention:  Neither the U.S. nor Arkansas flag was displayed on the schools flagpole.  In the hallway of the annex, floors had been repaired with mismatched tiles and a section of baseboard was missing.  The back door to the school was propped open.  Some graffiti was scratched on both sets of entry doors, one of which was missing its handle.  Around the building, tar from roof repairs was overrun and sloppily splashed on the fascia beneath the roof.  An exterior classroom window was defaced with a vulgar epithet in large letters.  The teachers lounge was uncomfortably warm\nwe saw no air conditioning duct.  Cables above the translucent hall ceilings were unsightly.  Near the water fountain in the rear hall, a short span of floor tile was broken at its edge.  The pull-down window shades in the media center were worn out and ready for replacements.  The health room lacked privacy and had insufficient storage capacity.  The restroom in the health room was not handicapped accessible.  Some of the cafeterias floor tiles around the baseboard were broken or missing.  Exposed metal framing around the walls of the cafeteria was rusted, stained, and chipped.  The areas around some of the sinks in the kitchen showed evidence of leaky plumbing.  While the food preparation aisles were narrow, the food carts that were in the aisles further impeded traffic flow.  The kitchen showed evidence of roof leaks, and a worker reported having seen bugs in the facility.MeadowclifFElementary School Page 2  The stage floor was badly scuffed and dented, and the wood paneling was peeling away from the front of the stage.  The backstage curtains were soiled, torn, and stained with paint.  The stage was not wheelchair accessible.  The cover was missing from a floor drain in a girls restroom, creating a serious safety hazard.  All the restrooms we visited lacked soap.  The ceiling panels in one girls restroom had holes and one girls restroom was littered.  The stench of stale urine was overpowering in one boys restroom.Rightsell Elementary School IVe were pleased to note that:  The U.S. flag was flying from a flagpole in front of the school.  The exterior of the school was neat and litter free.  The exterior brick and painted trim were attractive and in good condition.  Rightsells mission statement was prominently posted in the foyer.  Posted at the end of the main hall was a display that provided an overview of Rightsells special features.  Examples of the school uniform colors and combinations were displayed in a case adjacent to the cafeteria.  The media center was clean, and the specialist and aides were bar-coding books and preparing for initiating an automated checkout system.  Along with having a comfortable temperature, the cafeteria was clean, well lit, and decorated with four bulletin boards that bore the words Believe, Achieve, Succeed.  The tables were clean and free of scratches, chips, and other signs of wear.  The kitchen had one easily accessible fire extinguisher and a first aid kit that was located in the managers office.  The kitchen had three electric fans to circulate air.  The boys restrooms were clean and most plumbing was functioning normally. We also noted some areas needing attention: Al\" grade class was located on the second floor of the building, which is a violation of fire codes.'  Little student work was on display.  During our visit, we heard a number of staff members speaking sharply to students over very minor issues of deportment.  Drainage problems continue to plague the school: plaster was flaking from the basement wall across from the service access door and a music room wall had severe water damage. Although efforts had been made to repair the plaster, the underlying problem of faulty down spouts had not been addressed.  A door accessing the basement service area was secured with only a simple latch, potentially allowing students access to the crawl space under the building. The door also lacked any type of insulation barrier, thus permitting rodents access to the building. Upon opening the door, we saw a dead mouse.  The well in the floor of the boiler room was filled with standing water. According to staff members, the water is a year-round problem.  A plastic condensation drain was dripping directly onto the floor in the entry area of the boiler room, which may have contributed to the water standing in the well. Rightsell Elementary School 'During our visit, an inspector from the Little Rock Fire Department arrived. After inspecting the school, he recommended to the principal that the T' grade class on the second floor be moved immediately to the ground level. As we were leaving, the principal was making plans to relocate that 1 grade class to comply with the fire codes.Rightsell Elementary School Page 2  Several areas of the building were experiencing air conditioning problems: the music room had a non-functioning window unit and the computer lab was inadequately cooled.  One moisture-eroded wall in the media center was covered with plastic to protect nearby books and shelves from water damage and flaking plaster.  Even with three fans running, the kitchen was extremely hot just before the main lunch period.  The boys restroom located in the basement lacked paper towels and one basin was out of order.  The girls restroom in the basement had no paper towels, all the toilet paper rolls were sitting on the floor (which is very unsanitary), the water pressure was very low in all three sinks, and the floor tiles were in poor condition.Stephens Elementary School Note: Because the new Stephens school was not completedfor the beginning of the 2000-01 school year, the building that was formerly Garland Elementary was being used to house students who will attend the new Stephens school. We were pleased to note that.  The American flag was properly displayed on the flagpole.  The playground was free of debris, and the play equipment was in good repair.  The principal shared a copy of an attractive brochure that explained offerings at the new Stephens.  The interior of the old building was clean despite showing signs of old age.  The small media center was operational and offered complete computer services.  The restrooms were clean and well supplied. We also noted some areas needing attention:  The carpet on the stairway was torn and hazardous\nstudents could easily trip and fall.  Without enough fans to circulate the air adequately, the kitchen was exceedingly hot.  The kitchen had no safety mats in wet areas.  In one restroom, a large sink was missing, leaving unsightly holes and wall damage exposed to students.  A non-functioning water fountain was being stored in the entryway to a restroom.Woodruff Elementary School We were pleased to note that:  The U.S. flag was flying from the schools flagpole.  Grass around the building was mowed.  The playground areas were free of debris and the equipment was in good repair.  Hallways and open areas of the building were brightly colored and well lit.  The Woodruff School Creed was prominently posted.  Aspects of the Great Expectations philosophy and practices that the school had adopted several years ago were still apparent throughout the building.  Students and many staff members were wearing the school uniforms.  Several colorful wall displays were visible throughout the building.  Lots of student work was already on display in the conidors.  The media center, which was prepared for students, had five computer terminals for student research and access to the Internet.  Floors were shiny and spotless.  Several live green plants at staircase landings served to enhance the decor.  The cafeteria was very well lit and the furnishings were clean and in good repair.  Several L.O.V.E. (Let Our Violence End) posters were strategically placed around the cafeteria.  Girls and boys restrooms were clean and supplied with toilet paper and paper towels.  Both boys and girls restrooms were handicapped accessible, although both had just one handrail. We also noted some areas needing attention:  The building was not totally handicapped accessible: the front entry had a step and no ramp.  The health room lacked privacy and the hot water took an unusually long time to heat up.  Many floor tiles were mismatched.  The main level of the building lacked restrooms.  The third floor landing was stifling hot.  The media center was small and crowded. Due to that limited space, the media specialist had to schedule split classes rather than whole classes.  The media center lacked adequate electrical outlets for the amount of equipment housed in the space.  The carpet in the media center was quite worn and had frayed seams, posing a tripping hazard.  In the cafeteria, the walls were stained and chipped and the window casing was dirty.  The stage area was not handicapped accessible.  The lack of a curtain gave the stage a bleak appearance.  The sign designating a girls restroom was on the inside of the door.  The boys restroom on the third floor was unlabeled.  A girls restroom lacked soap.  An adult restroom in the four-year-old wing lacked any kind of designation.Dunbar Middle School We were pleased to note that:  The shrubs and flower beds were pretty, despite the intense heat.  During a fire drill, students exited the building in a very orderly and quiet fashion.  Security personnel were visible throughout the campus.  We noted adult supervision while the students returned to class after the fire drill and during a class change.  Staff members were very friendly and helpful.  Some student artwork was already on display.  The media center offered full computer service through nine workstations.  Air temperature in the cafeteria and kitchen was excellent on the very warm day we visited.  The cafeteria was clean and free of litter, even during the lunch period.  The added third lunch period greatly reduced congestion in the cafeteria.  Lighting in the kitchen was exceptionally good.  The girls locker room featured clean and fiinctioning sinks.  Restrooms were handicapped accessible and had two handrails.  Restrooms were supplied with paper products. We also noted some areas needing attention:  No flag was flying from the pole in front of the school.  Graffiti marred the concrete frame around the front door and the concrete stair trim.  Many of the walks on the Wright Avenue side of the building were cracked and had grass growing through the cracks.  Students were exceptionally noisy while returning from the fire drill and during the class change.  Electrical outlets in several places had been removed, leaving gaping holes in the walls.  At least two water fountains in the corridors were not operating.  One classroom had a large garbage pail placed under a gapping ceiling hole in the center of the room to catch the drips from a perpetually leaking air conditioning system.  The carpeting in the media center was stained and worn.  The cafeteria was not wheelchair accessible.  In the cafeteria, some of the tables were badly chipped, cracked, or broken and some of the stools were broken.  Metal fixtures from a fountain that had been removed protruded from a cafeteria wall.  A switch plate cover was missing from an electrical outlet behind the serving line, creating a safety hazard.  Some of the ceiling vent covers were missing.  The laundry room by the cafeteria was a disgrace. The small facility had no ventilation whatsoever\nas a result, the whole room was covered in mold and mildew. The stench was unbearable, as was the temperature. No person should have to work in such deplorable conditions. The situation was severe enough to be in violation of Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines.  The floor tile in the kitchen was broken, chipped, cracked, or missing in several areas.  The air temperature in the gymnasium was stifling.  Except for clean sinks in the girls facility, nothing had changed from last years report when we noted the sorry condition of the locker rooms.  Restrooms were very warm and only partially supplied\nsome had severe signs of vandalism to tiles and windows.  One girls restroom had tissue wads on the ceiling.Hall High School We were pleased to note that:  Highly visible security personnel were very professional and firm, while still being respectful to the students.  Teachers were standing at their doors to oversee the class change.  Students were very friendly and polite.  Most of the hall floors were clean and waxed.  The trophy case in the school entrance was full and neatly maintained.  Many of the entrance and hall bulletin boards featured well-done displays.  Most of the hall ceilings were in good repair\nsome looked new.  A number of lockers had been repainted.  The attractive library offered a good book collection, along with a 24-station on-line computer lab.  Despite the heavy traffic, the cafeteria floors were clean and waxed.  Although the crowd was massive, cafeteria workers served students quickly and efficiently, expediting the wait in line considerably.  Wall murals in the cafeteria brightened the facility.  The addition of a new picnic area with tables and benches in the outside courtyard helped ease some of the cafeteria crowding. The principal indicated that the district planned to add a canopy to the new area.  Construction was underway to add a concession stand and restrooms at the rear of the cafeteria, which will expand facilities at lunchtime and also for sporting events.  The boys restrooms were generally clean and well supplied.  Floor tile in one girls restroom was very attractive and in good condition.  Restrooms contained paper products and soap. We also noted some areas needing attention:  No flags were displayed on the flagpole at the east entrance to the school.  Flower beds were weed choked and neglected\nseveral scrubs were dead.  The landscape timbers sunounding some ornamental trees were rotten and broken.  The student population has exceeded capacity to the extent that seven portable buildings were stationed on the campus. The portables, which were mismatched eyesores, all lacked access for the disabled. Although some were quite a distance from the main building, they all lacked any type of awning or covered walkway.  Dried wads of chewing gum speckled the exterior walks and steps.  A small sign attached to the brick wall just west of the steps leading to the main entrance read, Welcome to Hall High School, but it was so tarnished that it was almost illegible.  At the buildings east entrance, the floor was littered and a ceiling tile bulged.  In one hallway, an electrical breaker box with 40 switches was unlocked, its wide-open door inviting mischief.  In the central corridors, very few of several drinking fountains were operational.  One of two display cases at the library entrance was empty.  Some areas in the corridors were littered and we saw no trash receptacles in the halls.Hall High School Page 2  Some of the concrete hall floors were badly scuffed and bisected by deep cracks.  Circles fashioned from masking tape hung from some of the hall ceilings.  The ceiling tiles in the 700 building were sagging and ugly.  The exposed overhead wiring in the corridor of the 600 building was particularly unsightly.  Tape residue and scratched patches marred many of the windows withing the building\none interior window was broken.  A number of rooms were casually identified by white SVi\" x 14\" sheets of paper with the teachers name hand-scrawled in felt tip marker and posted by the door.  Most lockers were not in very good condition: the doors were missing from some of them, as were the locking mechanisms\nscratched paint and rust were common.  In the space for numbered metal tags, the repainted lockers were hand-numbered with what appeared to be permanent felt-tip marker.  Display cases in the corridor in front of the cafeteria were scattered with wood logs and lined with torn paper, creating a very unappealing sight.  Some of the ceiling tiles in the cafeteria were loose.  Several tables in the cafeteria were empty because of an insufficient number of chairs.  Several faucets in the kitchen were leaking.  Kitchen floor tiles were cracked, chipped, broken, or missing.  A raised metal floor plate created a safety hazard in the food service area.  Metal floor plates at the door between the kitchen and serving area created a serious safety hazard.  The air quality and temperature in the kitchen were very uncomfortable.  Conditions were disgraceful in the two girls restrooms located in the central building. Identified by paper signs taped above their entrances, bare bulbs glared or were burned out and floors were dirty, dull, and marred with sloppy concrete patches, paint, rust, or other stains. Only a few stalls had a unit for the disposal of feminine hygiene products, and most of those were filthy, corroded, and missing their covers. Paint had been slopped on several toilet seats, and only some stall doors had locks. Graffiti defaced various surfaces, including paper towel dispensers and stall walls. Some graffiti had been covered with mismatched paint. Sinks and faucet were dull and dirty, some water taps would not work,and those that did dispensed only cold water. The Formica vanity counters were dirty and chipped. Some sections of ceiling tile were missing, and huge dried paper wads hung overhead in one restroom. In another, a sink was hanging askew from its precarious mooring on the wall, and the cover over a heating unit was markedly ajar.  In one girls restroom, unsightly holes had been left in the wall behind the vanity where plumbing fixtures had been removed.  The handicapped accessible stall in one girls restroom had a toilet that ran constantly and no toilet paper dispenser. As a result, the paper was perched on a shelf behind the commode, which was well out of the reach of a wheelchair-bound student.  One girls restroom was supplied with a couple of bars of dirty-looking soap, which caused one student to remark, Couldnt we have some nice soap dispensers?  Some boys restrooms had been vandalized, had graffiti on the walls, and had broken paper dispensers.  A paper sign (which identified one of the boys restrooms as such) had been torn down, leaving behind only tape and one ragged corner of paper.Schedule of School Visits Tuesday, August 22, 2000 SCHOOJ.

The school teachers have to spend so much . time reteaching the information BY CYNTHLA HOWELL .ARK.\\SS.\\S DEMOCR,.\\T-GAZETTE For pupils at three Little Rock elementary schools, the 2000-2001 school year may begin earlier and last longer than it will at other schools. But included in the year will be more frequent or longer vacations. Parents and faculty at Woodruff and Mabelvale elementary schools have voted to try what is referred to nationally as a year-round The new calendar. school Stephens Elementary School also will operate on the reconfigured calendar when it opens in early 2001. More than 80 percent of the fac- Ultj- members and families at Woodruff and Mabelvale favored the proposed change, which now must be acted on by the Little Rock School Board. Frances Cawthonjones. the Little Rock School Districts assistant superintendent for elementary schools, said Wednesday. A majority of families at two other schools. Washinpon .Magnet and Dodd elementaries. also favored the revised calendar. But the margin of approval did not reach the 80 percent requirement, so the schools wont make any changes in the coming year. The School Board is expected to discuss school-year calendars  both traditional and modified  at an agenda meeting that begins at 5 p.m. tonight. The board isnt scheduled to vote on calendars until Jan.27. Pupils at the three participating schools wont go to school any more days than children at other elementmy schools in the district but the 178 days will be distributed differently, CawthonJones said. Mabelvale Principal Tabitha Phillips said Wednesday that she's had a long-standing interest in year-round school calendars. When district officials invited principals and others to informational meetings on the subject she was eager to go. Additional meetings were held at the school for teachers and parents. Information was sent home to parents and visits were made to a year-round school program in Texarkana. Ultimately. 96 percent of the Mabelvale staff voted in favor of the change. Parent approval followed. Each family was entitled to one has about 400 pupils in pre-kinder- garten through fifth grades. The bottom line is student achievement. Phillips said about the desire to try the year-round calendar. Everything we are hear- ing, everything weve read, indicates that student achievement goes up. The reason behind that is the children are not out of school for extended periods like they are on a traditional calendar. Phillips continued. They are out in June. July and most of August. By the time they come back in .August our that was not retained over the summer months. With the alternate calendar, the children arent out as long and they dont lose as much information. .An added benefit is that during the school breaks, pupils who need remediation can get it more immediately and from Mabelvale teachers at the school. The children dont have to wait to attend a traditional summer school remediation session, which would probable be at another school- .and See SCHOOL YEAR, Page TOB School year  Continued from Page 1B taught by teachers whom the children dont know, Phillips said. Teachers would have the opportunity to work during the intercession periods for extra money, just as they would choose to work in summer school. A specific calendar for the three participating schools has not yet been selected or designed, Cawthon Jones said. Representatives from the three schools will meet Jan. 18-19 with Richard Alcorn of the National Association of Year Roimd Education to select a year-round calendar and work out other details, such as transportation, food service and after-school child care for the days when year-round pupils are in classes and other pupils are not, and vice versa. The calendar options are numerous. One of the most common arrangements nationally is a 45-15 plan, in which the school year is divided into four nine-week terms separated by four three-week vacations or intercessions. An exfra four weeks are scheduled for winter and spring breaks and national holidays. Both Cawthonjones and Phillips said an initial concern from parents and others about a year-round syrtem centered on families that might have one child in a year-roimd calendar school and others in a school with a traditional calendar. Its interesting the different ways people look at that, Cawthonjones said. Ive had a couple of families tell me they think it would be wonderful to have time with one child while another is in school. It gives them opportunities to do different things. She also said that despite the calendar differences, there will be common vacation time between the traditional and alternative calendars. The winter and spring breaks are expected to be the same, as will staff development days and part of the summer vacation. Cawthon-Jones said that when she was an elementary school principal she would have been reluctant initially to tinker with her traditional summer vacation. But now that Ive looked at these year-round calendars I love them, she said. You really have periods to take a breather, just regroup. I cant see why any teacher or principal wouldnt like it... I really think that in 10 or 12 years most of our country will be using extended year. If approved, the three Little Rock schools will be in rare company in the state as the only other year-round calendar schools are in the Texarkana, Bentonville and Fayetteville school districts. Nationally, there are year-round schools, public and private, in 43 states, totaling about 2.800 schools and affecting about 2 million students.z Ir IArkansas Democrat (Gazette  FRIDAY.

Faculty, parents send year-round schools to board for OK during the intersession periods students throughout, the district The consultant also urged the BY CYNTHIA HOWELL ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE Faculty and parent leaders from three Little Rock elementary schools agreed Wednesday to an extended-year calendar for the coming year that would make Aug. 8 the first day of class and provide for quarterly breaks of two to three weeks. The proposed extended-year calendar  planned for Woodruff. Mabelvale and the new Stephens elementary schools  will now be submitted to the School Board for final approval. The board is expected to act on the alternative calendar, as well as on a regular 2000-2001 school-year calendar, at its Jan. 27 meeting. Both calendars provide for 173 student days for next year. The regular school year is slated to begin Aug. 21. Richard Alcorn, senior consultant for the National Association of Year-Round Education, said an extended-year calendar offers the opportunity for continuous leam- 'shorter summer breaks lessen the amount of review teachers have to provide their pupils. Alcorn said. And. the short breaks during the school year not only allow staff and pupils to take a breather but make it easier to offer timely remediation to low- achieving pupils. Alcorn is a former elementary school principal and district administrator of extended-year schools in San Diego. He worked Tuesday and Wednesday with campus leaders from the three Little Rock schools to establish the proposed calendar and begin planning for the intersession periods between the nine-week grading periods. Teachers in the extended-year schools would begin work Aug. 1 in preparation for the return of pupils Aug. 8. if the proposed calendar is adopted. The first break from regular classroom instruction, or the intersession period, would be Oct 9-20. During that intersession time, a school might offer one week of instruction and activities to pupils and one week of vacation, although some schools might decide to offer two weeks of academics at no cost to parents, Assistant Superintendent Frances Cawthon- Jones said. Pupils would not be required to attend classes during the intersession period but would be encouraged to do so. she said, especially if they are achieving below their grade levels. Teachers who work would be paid extra, but payment plans have not yet been determined. Next November, pupils at the Richard Alcorn, senior consultant for the National Association of Year-Round Education, said an extended-year calendar offers the opportunity for continuous learning. three affected schools would get the same teacher convention days and Thanksgiving holidays that all will get. Similarly, all district students will be out of school for the winter vacation, Dec. 18 through Jan. 1. Pupils at the three affected schools would have an intersession period Jan. 2-5. Spring break would be March 26-30 for all district students. An intercession period for Woodruff. is llabelvale and Stephens planned for April 2-6. The last school day of the year is scheduled to be June 15.2001. but a two-week intersession program would be developed for June 21-29. Alcorn encouraged educators to use a different approach to instruction during the intersession periods and to incorporate community activities, field trips, games, the arts, storytelling and more individual attention to pupils into the curriculum. planners to make every effort to communicate their ideas regularly and work with others at the school and in the community to prevent feelings of disgruntlement and ultimately rejection of the year- round calendar. Funding plans have not been finalized but Cawthon-Jones said the schools would likely pay for the intersession periods with their allotment of the district's traditional summer school funding and with their federal Title I funds for improving achievement in schools with large numbers of children from low-income families. Each of the three schools planning to use a year-round schedule has previously polled parents and faculty on the .concept and got more than 80 percent approval from both groups.\nThis project was supported in part by a Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives project grant from The Andrew W.
