Depending on available bond funds, a decision will be made soon regarding the staff requests. Several projects are being done this summer at Pulaski Heights Middle and Elementary Schools to enhance the appearance of the buildings. The outside brick walls of the Elementary School, auditorium and cafeteria are being cleaned and water-proofed . The front doors of the Elementary School are being replaced with new ones. A new ceiling will be installed in the cafeteria and all of the exposed steam piping and heating units will be removed . Another summer project is the . installation of new ceilings in the classrooms and corridors of Southwest Middle School which will improve the interior appearance of the building. When you drive by the school, it is obvious that the work recently completed has improved the exterior appearance of the school. In response to a request for information on projects not yet started, a new category has been added to the attached list entitled 'Bond Projects Not Yet Started .' RATIONALE: Monthly reports are submitted to the Board to keep members up-to-date on construction projects in the District. FUNDING: Bond Funds RECOMMENDATION: Report item

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Technology Report BACKGROUND: Since the last Board meeting the following technology activities took place: Last month we reported that we had received over $ 1 million in e-rate funds for the 2003-2004 school year. All of the appeals that we filed on the 2003-2004 applications were upheld and fully funded. This week it was announced that our 2004-2005 application for telecommunications services was funded in the amount of $ 1.2 million, bringing our total this year to $ 1.4 million. Because of e-rate funds, we receive a 73% discount on all services related to the wide area network, local, long distance, paging, and cellular phone service. Our current Technology Plan covers the years 2003-2006. In order to meet state requirements for approval and to meet E-rate requirements the Technology Plan will have to be revised during the 2005-2006 school year. The new plan will have to be in draft form by the time we file our erate applications for 2006-2007 this December. It will have to be completed and approved by the Board in time for state submission in March 2006. Committees will be formed in August to begin the revision. RATIONALE: To implement the LRSD Technology Plan 2003 - 2006 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board accept this report.

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Recommendations from the Nutrition and Physical Activity Advisory Committee (NPAAC) BACKGROUND: Act 1220 of 2003 was created to combat the crisis of childhood obesity and associated health problems. In the 2003-04 school year, 36.7% of LRSD students were identified as overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Act 1220 requires each school district in Arkansas to convene a Nutrition and Physical Activity Advisory Committee by 2004 that includes members from school district governing boards, school administrators, food service personnel, teacher organizations, parents, students and professional groups from the community. Federal legislation was passed in 2004 requiring all school districts with a federally funded school meal program to establish a committee by 2006 to evaluate nutrition and physical education policies and to promote best practices. The LRSD Nutrition Physical Activity Advisory Committee (NPAAC) is charged to: Annually assist schools in the assessment of each school campus utilizing the School Health index. Outcomes of this assessment will be incorporated into the school improvement plan. Review and make recommendations to the local school board regarding all food and beverage contracts. Maintain a list of non-food and healthy food alternatives for fundraisers. Monitor in-service education for food service staff. RATIONALE: To support compliance with Act 1220, the NPAAC met monthly since August 2004 and put forward recommendations to promote the health of our students. When children's health, nutrition and exercise needs are met, they have the cognitive energy to learn and achieve. Sound nutrition and adequate physical activity are linked to academic achievement, self-esteem, mental health and school attendance - all leading to stronger .., :r m c: ~! z z

The LRSD Nutrition Physical Activity Advisory Committee is committed to creating health-promoting schools that support sound nutrition, physical activity and high academic achievement. We strongly support/endorse these recommendations and consider this the beginning of a long process. FUNDING: Funding is needed to meet the recommendations related to improving physical activity for elementary students in the following areas: 1. 2. Personnel FTE Salary - Certified Physical Education Teachers with Fringes 5 @ Total Staff Training Physical Education Aides (25@ 12 hours ea@ $13/hr ea) Child Nutrition Assistants (190@ 12 hours ea)@ 11/hr ea) $ $ Cost 50,000 250,000 3,900 $ 25,080 Legislation, from 2005, states all aides & assistants must have 12 hours of Staff Development annually. 3.

All schools are encouraged to sponsor fundraisers that promote physical activity. 5. For ongoing school "activity fund" sales, standard definitions, as published by the State Child Health Advisory Committee, for healthy concession stand items and serving sizes are consistent with those used for Little Rock School District vending machines and concession stands. (Table 1) 6. Unhealthy food and beverage items are not to be used as rewards in the classroom or school. The NPAAC will provide updated lists, to schools, annually of approved healthy food rewards
plan and conduct a series of school-based inservice meetings for school staff, PT A groups, campus leadership teams and other groups on appropriate alternatives to unhealthy beverage/food rewards. II. Nutrition Subcommittee A. Allowable Foods and Portion Sizes 1. At the elementary level, only extra milk (flavored, 1 % or skim milk), 100% juice and water will be sold a la carte. The maximum size will be 8 ounces. A single purchase will be limited to only two of each 4 oz. item. 2. At the middle school level, only extra milk (flavored, 1%, or skim milk), water (fluoridated, caloric sweetener <10 calories), 100% juice and a whole fruit will be sold a la carte. A single purchase will be limited to one of each item. Vended a la carte items will be limited to 100% juices, flavored and unflavored waters and milk. The maximum size will be 12 ounces. 3. High School - A la carte items will include foods that meet the standards for all foods served as a part of a reimbursable meal. Other snack items shall meet the standard and portion size of Table 1 from the Child Health Advisory Committee and Company Vending Guidelines. A single purchase will be limited to one of each item. B. Menu Planning 1. Annually, Child Nutrition will conduct a written survey in selected elementary and secondary schools to solicit suggested menu items for the coming school year. The surveys will be compiled and evaluated for inclusion in the menu planning cycle. 2. The LRSD Child Nutrition Advisory Council will create a forum for receipt of recommendations for menu changes from parents and others through the P.T.A. Council. It is also recommended that parents be surveyed to provide suggested menu items during pre-school registration. The results and analysis of the surveys and recommendations will be submitted to CN for evaluation and inclusion in the menu planning cycle. C. Nutrition Education Nutrition education will be incorporated into the overall curriculum as well as in Health and Science programs in grades K - 6. Wellness and nutrition education should be integrated into the one semester required health course offered in grades 9 - 12 and in other related courses. D. Professional Development for Child Nutrition Professionals 1. The director will be responsible for providing a minimum of twelve hours of annual training to CN assistants, as recommended by the State Child Health Advisory Committee. A record documenting the required in-service training shall be maintained by the CN Director. 2. Each school manager will be required to provide a 30-minute in-service each month. Child Nutrition assistants will be paid their regular hourly rate. Ill. Physical Activity Subcommittee A. Certified Physical Education Teachers There are currently nine certified elementary physical education teachers in the Little Rock School District. To achieve compliance with ADE guidelines it is recommended that: 1. The LRSD incrementally increase the number of certified PE teachers, at the elementary level, based on the following schedule: School Year NewFTE Total Certified FTE 2005-06 5 14 2006-07 5 19 2007-08 5 24 2008-09 5 29 2009-10 3 32 B. Staff Development Provide required training for all paraprofessionals and volunteers who serve as PE teachers. Currently there are 25 paraprofessionals teaching Physical Education under the direction of the classroom teacher. C. Standardized Physical Education Curricula The Little Rock School District will adopt a standard PE curriculum for each organizational level beginning with the elementary level in the 2006-07 school year and the middle and high school levels in the 2007-08 school year. D. Form Multi-disciplinary Community Partnership Addressing and correcting problems related to physical inactivity cannot be limited to the regular school day. We recommend that the district establish a multi-disciplinary community partnership to develop a public awareness campaign that promotes physical activity as a part of family life extending beyond the school day by the beginning of the 2006-07 school year. This campaign would include informing parents of the importance of physical activity after school hours and establishing after school physical activity programs (in addition to athletics) in partnership with neighborhood organizations and groups. E. StudentfTeacher Ratio The student I teacher ratio for PE classes will be consistent as for other academic classes. F. Access to Activity All students are entitled to PE and recess. It is recommended that physical education and recess not be withheld or used as punishment. IV. Vending Subcommittee A. Vending Food & Beverage Sales For all food and beverages sold / vended via machines, school stores and concessions shall follow the recommendations of Act 1220 Child Health Advisory Committee (CHAC) with implementation of all recommendations starting in school year 2005-06: Nutrition Standards for Competitive Food follow allowable Foods and Portion Sizes in Table 1, with the following exceptions: i) Low-fat Milk will follow the FDA Food Labeling regulations and refer to 1 % and fat-free only. ii) Food/snack vending: ~35% of total calories from fat,~ 10% of calories from saturated and trans fat combined and ~ 35% of total weight from added sugar (if added sugar not on label use total sugar). B. Beverage Vending & Concession Contracts 1. In 2005-06, a 50/50 product mix in student accessible machines progressing to 75/25 in 2006-07 and reaching 100% healthy choices by 2007-08 school year. 2. 50/50 product mix for the athletic department, administration facilities and teacher lounges so as to be the same as in other District facilities. 3. 50/50 Product mix for after-hour concessions with the recommendation that individual schools consider moving to 100%. 4. Concessions and other fundraisers may sell bottled water with school name and/or mascot on the label. 5. Beverage container size limited to 12 oz. except water, which may be larger. 6. Sports beverages will be restricted to the immediate area of physical education facilities. 7. Student to beverage machine ratio will be flexible based on the discretion of the building principal (most of the principals and students at our presentations thought the 1 to 100 ratio was too much but would like some flexibility if their physical plant campus expanded). 8. All beverages sold in vending machines and concessions be priced equally so that cost is not an influence on student purchases. Recommendation We request Board approval to implement all no-cost recommendations provided by the Nutrition and Physical Advisory Committee for the 2005-06 school year. We further recommend that items requiring funding be considered for implementation as the Board reviews the budget anc
l allocation of resources for the 2005-06 school year. Phase in of recommendations requiring additional personnel will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will require additional consideration by the administration and the Board of Directors.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Quarterly Update Report BACKGROUND: The third quarterly written update (June 1) by the Planning, Research, and Evaluation (PRE) Department was completed in accordance with the District Court's 2004 Compliance Remedy (Memorandum Opinion of June 30, 2004, pp. 61-67). This report includes descriptions of research activities related to four step-2 evaluations currently being conducted by Ors. Steven Ross and James Catterall, and lists four proposed step- 2 evaluations to be completed by these researchers next school year. Dr. Ross' team has completed nearly all its observations of classes and its surveys of principals, teachers, students, and parents participating in Compasslearning, Reading Recovery, and SMART/THRIVE. Dr. Catterall is conducting interviews and surveys for the evaluation of Year-Round (Extended-Year) Education. Joshua and ODM along with other stakeholders took part in planning discussions for these evaluations. RATIONALE: The Court's remedy requires PRE to perform 8 "step-2" evaluations during this and next school years. FUNDING: Not Necessary RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board accept the Quarterly Update Report. DATE: TO: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 June 23, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: 2005-2006 Evaluation Agenda BACKGROUND: LRSD policy requires an annual Evaluation Agenda proposed to the Board of Directors outlining external evaluation activities with projected costs. During 2004-2005 PRE has engaged two outside consultants to evaluate four District programs. The 2005-2006 Evaluation Agenda consists of five external evaluations: 4 "Step-2" program evaluations mandated by Judge Wilson in 2004, and 1 non-mandated evaluation recommended by the PRE department RATIONALE: LRSD is complying with U. S. District Court's 2004 Compliance Remedy (Memorandum Opinion of June 30, 2004, pp. 61-67) to "devise a comprehensive program assessment process" which "must be deeply embedded as a permanent part of LRSD's curriculum and instruction program." In December 2004, the Board of Directors approved this process. It provides for a range of educational program evaluations with respect to their scientific rigor and complexity, and it requires participation by LRSD stakeholders in the design and execution of evaluations. In the same Opinion, the Court ordered, "During each of the next two academic school years (2004-05 and 2005-06), LRSD must hire one or more outside consultants to prepare four (4) formal step 2 evaluations." By "step 2" the court meant for evaluations to delve into underlying reasons for outcomes. The primary outcome that the Court directed the District to examine is the academic achievement of African-American students. The Opinion also instructs the PRE Department to cooperate with the outside consultants and encourages it to evaluate additional District programs. Court-Mandated Evaluations for 2005-2006: For step 2 evaluations in 2005-2006, Dr. Ross has identified four 2.7 programs, named on the following page. fl

DONATIONS Or PROPl:R r DATE: TO: FROM: June 23, 2005 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 Board of Directors Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Request for Breakfast and Lunch Meal Price Increase BACKGROUND: The Little Rock School District Child Nutrition Department supports the School Meals Program from funds received from the service of reimbursable meals. The prices for the meals claimed at the reduced rate are set by USDA, and the prices for the meals claimed in the full-paid category are set by the Board of Directors for the school district. The Child Nutrition Department works to operate basically as a self sufficient entity of the district. RATIONALE: For the Child Nutrition meals program to remain basically self supporting and continue to provide high quality service for our customers, the meal prices must be raised. Food and labor costs increase at a rate of 3% to 5% each year, and, for Child Nutrition, labor costs increased at a rate of 10% the past year. Traditionally, manufacturers pass on to the customer any economic impact that they are experiencing due to gas wars or food production restrictions and other variables. The USDA reimbursement rates for Child Nutrition programs are based on program costs exclusive of a fringe benefit package. The present funds to the program are not adequate for sufficiency and growth. We propose that the breakfast meal price is increased by $.25 at each level and that the lunch meal price is increased by $.50 at each level. For the 2005-2006 school year the meal prices will be as follows: BREAKFAST Elementary - $1.00 Secondary - 1.00 Adults - 1.25 LUNCH Elementary - $2.00 Secondary - 2.25 Adults - 2.75 The current meal prices for Little Rock School District Child Nutrition have been in effect since the 2002-2003 school year. ~ > 0 5 C:
:o z
c zm ..... FUNDING: At the present level of participation, the proposed price increases will generate approximately $340,000.00 additional revenue for the program. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Board approve the prepared meal prices for School year 2005- 2006. PREPARED BY: Morlin M. McCoy, Director of Child Nutrition Mark D. Milhollen, Chief Financial Officer DATE: TO: FROM: June 23, 2005 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 Board of Directors Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: CONSUL TING AGREEMENT BACKGROUND: The Board approved the recommendations of the organizational audit on March 24, 2005, completing Phase I of the process to restructure the District's administration. Phase I recommendations are being implemented and administrative staff is being assigned to fill the vacancies and positions that will result in a more streamlined and efficient operation. RATIONALE: Phase II and 111 of the reorganization will provide the support systems necessary to ensure an efficient transition to the restructured operations. Technical assistance and support is required in order to affect the most orderly and effective use of our resources. Exhibit A of the proposed contract has been revised to take into consideration your input and comments.
