: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS DATE: March 20, 2003 TO: Board of Education From: T. Kenneth James, Superintendent of Schools Re: Informational Update on the Implementation of the Teacher Advancement Program at Rockefeller and Stephens Background Information: As you know, this is our initial year of implementation of the Teacher Advancement Program at Rockefeller and Stephens. The program is currently being implemented in two school districts in the state. We are very fortunate that the Walton Family Foundation has funded this program for three years. The TAP program is a multi-tiered teacher-staffing model that provides quality teachers with new career growth paths, increased salary flexibility and ongoing applied professional development opportunities. TAP's framework for systemic change is built on five key principles: Multiple Career Paths Market-Driven Compensation Performance-Based Accountability Ongoing, Applied Professional Development Expanding the Supply of Quality Educators Anne Mangan and Sharon Brooks, along with staff members from Rockefeller and Stephens, will provide the board with an overview of our initial year of implementation. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board receive the report as submitted and commend the staff members and administration from Rockefeller and Stephens for their willingness to be a part of Teacher Advancement Program. f>!Jl ID C cm 8~ !!j Cl C c~~c ~:!:

Kenneth James, Superintendent FROM: Bill Goodman ~ SUBJECT: March Construction Report, Bond Projects Please note that my attached report shows the renovation of Franklin Elementary and the addition and renovation of Romine Elementary have recently been completed. This brings the total completed Bond projects to 125. All of the District's 60 school and administrative buildings have been affected. It has been almost three [3] years since the voters approved the mileage increase to support the capital improvements to our facilities. The District has spent approximately $57,000,000 since that time to make major improvements to our buildings. Those improvements will continue because several projects are either in the planning stage or construction phase. The Bond construction program should be completed in early 2006. The addition and renovation of Pulaski Heights Middle and Elementary will bid on March 20th . You will be given a report on that bid at the Board meeting. The architect has completed the drawings for the addition and renovation of Dunbar Middle. The drawings are going through the review process by both the District and governmental agencies. Bidding is scheduled for April.
