Superintendent of Schools Special Education In November of 2004, a group of special education instructors, representing the interests of Little Rock School District special education teachers, brought to the Board a series of concerns regarding special education issues and the delivery of instructional services to LRSD students with special needs. At the Board's direction, a special task force was formed which included the Associate Superintendent for Educational Services, Jhe Special Education Director and Staff, the CT A Executive Director and President, and a representative sample of special education teachers. The task force began monthly meetings in December of 2004 and examined the needs of special education students through the following topics: Professional Development Instructional Materials Communication Technology Compliance Working Conditions RATIONALE: From the outset, the goal of the task force was to develop ways of improving services to special needs students. The task force found that by modifying a number of practices currently in place and by instituting others, the concerns brought to the Board on behalf of the special needs students could be dramatically reduced and the special needs student could be better served. The task force recommendations are detailed in the accompanying report. FUNDING: Funds generated as a result of the reorganization of the District along with federal entitlement dollars will be allocated to support the implementation of the recommendations. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the task force report. PREPARED BY: Barbara Barnes, Dr. Olivine Roberts, and Special Education Focus Group Representatives ?l "ti m

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Cloverdale Elementary School at Badgett Student Reassignment Plan BACKGROUND: Cloverdale Elementary School, built in 1959, was transferred by court order from the Pulaski County Special School District to the Little Rock School District during the 1987- 1988 school year. The school is single-story and shares a campus with Cloverdale Middle School. The elementary school was built on land considered poor for construction. The combination of the soil and techniques used in construction caused the structural beams supporting the school's floor to erode. A structural study completed in 2004 determined that structural failure is occurring and that the building is slowly sinking. In the spring of 2005, the Board approved plans to relocate Cloverdale Elementary students at the former Badgett Elementary building and to tear down the school. Cloverdale Elementary had a capacity of 448 students. In October 2004 enrollment was 360. Following the announcement that Cloverdale students would be relocated to Badgett for the 2005-2006 school year, parents began requesting Transfer No Transportation (TNT) transfers to other LRSD schools. By August 18, 2005, TNT transfers had been granted to 144 Cloverdale ES students. In addition, other students were reassigned out of Cloverdale because they moved away from the attendance zone. accepted seats at magnet schools, requested assignment to Pulaski County Special School District on Minority to Majority (M to M) transfers or were attending Cloverdale on TNT transfers and requested a return to their attendance zone school. On August 26, 2005, only 111 Cloverdale ES students were registered and attending school at Badgett. By September 6, 2005, registration had risen to only 119. An inventory reveals that there are enough vacant seats to accommodate K-1 students at Watson Elementary and !.J,,' m

Parents of grade 4-5 students will be able to select from available seats in other schools in southwestern part of the district. RATIONALE: The continued operation of low enrollment schools and the resulting fiscal inefficiency has been a concern in the district for several years. The Cloverdale at Badgett Elementary School qualifies as a low enrollment school. FUNDING: Reassignment of the Cloverdale at Badgett students presents no additional cost to the Little Rock School District. RECOMMENDATION: It is not financially prudent for the district to continue operating Cloverdale at Badgett with its low enrollment. The students should be reassigned to Watson, Mabelvale and other southwest elementary schools. A timeline for notifying students, parents, teachers and school staff about reassignment and the options that are available has been developed. In addition, a special task force appointed by the Superintendent will examine the future of Cloverdale Elementary School. The task force report will become part of the Superintendent's recommendation on Cloverdale which will be brought to the Board before the end of the calendar year. PREPARED BY: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 DATE: TO: September 22, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Larry Berkley President, Board of Directors SUBJECT: Policy GBK Staff Concerns/Complaints/Grievances BACKGROUND: The Board of Directors periodically reviews polices and regulations which provide the district's administration a clear line of authority for operating the district in an efficient and effective manner. A review of Policy GBK Staff Concerns/Complaints/Grievances and the accompanying Policy GBK-R, both of which are modeled after Act 1357 amended by the Arkansas Legislature in 2003, describes the process an employee must use in resolving a work-related grievance. A copy of Act 1357 is attached. However, the policy, and its companion regulations in their present forms, does not clearly encourage employees to adhere to the process. School Board members are also part of the grievance process and our obligations also must be more clearly defined. In addition, Policy GBK does not strongly communicate that the Board will not tolerate reprisal or retaliation directed at employees who make use of the policy. RATIONALE: Policies should be clear and concise and offer specific directives to staff and administration. The revision of GBK and GBK-R prescribes a more thorough process for resolving employee grievances and protects employees from retaliation. FUNDING: This policy revision carries no financial implications. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt on first reading the revisions to Policy GBK and Policy GBK-R. New text is underlined text. Eliminated text is marked in (parentheses).

(and without reprisals.) It is the expressed intent of the Board of Education that there shall be no reprisals or retaliation of any kind made, nor will any be tolerated, against any employee who exercises his or her rights under this policy. "Grievance" will mean any concern related to personnel (policies)~ (or) salary.,_ federal or state laws and regulations. or terms or conditions of employment raised by an employee. "Employee" will mean a person employed by the District under a written contract. The specific processes and provisions applicable to grievance procedures are outlined in the Grievances/Concerns/Complaints regulation. GBK-R. The Board of Education encourages an employee to resolve a grievance or any other issue through the chain of command process prescribed by this policy and regulation or by a negotiated agreement. Revised : Adopted: November 18, 1999 References: Board of Education Regulation GBK-R Legal Reference: AC.A. 6-17-208 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: GBK-R GRIEVANCE/CONCERNS/COMPLAINTS Purpose Some groups of employees are covered by grievance procedures defined in their respective negotiated agreement. For those employees not covered by a negotiated agreement the following process will apply. Communication and discussion can resolve the majority of questions and problems that cause difficulties between the employer and employee. When resolution is not reached rapidly, the employer and the staff member may proceed to effect resolution in writing as defined in this procedure. The purpose of the resolution procedures is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions consistent with the legal standards of "due process," to problems that may from time to time arise. The purpose is to (obtain better understanding of policies, to) encourage employees to express themselves more effectively on subjects concerning conditions of employment, and to ensure to all employees that their questions and problems are considered fairly, rapidly and without reprisals. Documents and Confidentiality All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance will be filed separately from the personnel files of the participants and will be destroyed three years after the last official entry. All parties will hold the resolution proceedings in confidentiality at all levels. Normally, the resolution process should be conducted at times that do not interfere with the assigned duties. Process "Grievance" means any concern related to personnel policy, salary, federal or state laws(,) and regulations, or terms or conditions of employment, raised by an employee. "Employee" means a person employed by a school district under a written contract. The first step in the procedure is to seek an informal resolution between the employee and the immediate supervisor. If the grievance is not resolved at the informal phase, the grievance is to be committed to writing and sent to the applicable supervisor within five calendar days of the incident resulting in the grievance. The employee will immediately thereafter schedule a meeting with the appropriate supervisor to discuss the complaint and resolutions sought. The parties should act in good faith to expedite the process. .!J.,I m i"s' z z ,m- (") ::r:: ~ C> m V, !JI r

If the problem is not resolved in the meeting held with the supervisor, and the employee indicates a desire to pursue further, a written request must be submitted within five workdays for an appeal to the Office of the Superintendent or designee. Appeals The appeal will be heard in the Office of the SuperintendenUdesignee within ten workdays of the request for an appeal. An employee who has not been satisfied with the answer at the Superintendent's level may request that the grievance be submitted to the Board of Education. The request will include a written statement setting forth the issue(s) to be reviewed by the Board of Education and is to be addressed to the President of the Board c/o Superintendent's Office. Other Provisions An employee seeking to resolve a grievance as defined above is required to use the terms and conditions of their negotiated agreement for resolution of grievances. Employees not covered by a negotiated agreement are bound by the provisions of this policy. In either case, the responsibility for ensuring that the prescribed due process is adhered to and will not be circumvented is shared at all levels of the district, up to and including the Board of Education. Employees who have begun or who are considering initiating a grievance procedure either under the terms of this policy or under the terms of a negotiated agreement are prohibited from undertaking any action that seeks to circumvent the prescribed process. Specifically, employees are prohibited from conveying or causing the conveyance of information about their grievance to members of the Board of Education prior to completing the chain of command process prescribed by this policy or their negotiated agreement. Employees must be aware that receipt of such information by a member of the Board may be cause for that Board member to recuse him/herself from an employee grievance hearing. Likewise, members of the Board of Education, by definition of their role in the process, must refrain from any involvement in an employee grievance until the process formally reaches the Board as prescribed in this policy or a negotiated agreement. Members of the Board should always encourage an employee to resolve a grievance or any other issue through the chain of command process prescribed by this policy or by a negotiated agreement.

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Rightsell Elementary School BACKGROUND: A complete executive summary report dated August 26, 2005, provided a detailed analysis of the enrollment and renovation estimates for Rightsell Elementary School. The official enrollment at Rightsell for the 2004-2005 school year was 262 students
by comparison, the total enrollment as of August 26, 2005, was 190 students. In summary, the Rightsell facility is unable to meet current educational standards without extensive and costly repairs and renovations. In the spring of 2005, a committee of district administrative staff developed a plan to temporarily educate the students assigned to Rightsell at Badgett Elementary School so that renovation and remediation projects could proceed. After additional review, it was determined that sufficient numbers of vacant seats were available at other schools located near Rightsell, and the students were therefore relocated to Washington Elementary School. It should be noted that Washington Elementary School has a capacity of approximately 900. The total number of students now attending school at the Washington site is 821 : 631 Washington students and 190 Rightsell students. Meetings were held with Rightsell parents, community members, teachers and staff on June 28, 2005, and again on August 30, 2005. Rightsell parents have been assured that their children will continue to receive a high quality education this year, and in upcoming years in the LRSD. RATIONALE: The operation of low enrollment schools has been a concern in the District for several years. In May of 2000 the Board of Directors adopted Policy FBG--Closing of Schools, that allows for closure to be considered based on factors such as excessive cost of operation due to enrollment and excessive cost of renovation and repair due to the age !D z 0 C CJ> m > C)
o m m I:: m ~ !"' g z ~ c5 z CJ> .0. , "ti ~ "ti m ~ and physical condition of the facility. Schools in similar situations, such as Garland, Badgett, lsh, Fair Park (recently converted to the Early Childhood Center) and Mitchell, were closed because of low enrollment coupled with high operational and renovation costs. The detailed circumstances and conditions that lead the administration to make a recommendation to close Rightsell Elementary School at the conclusion of the 2005- 2006 school year were provided to you in an executive report attached to the August 26, 2005, edition of the Snapshot. FUNDING: N/A RECOMMENDATION: It is not financially prudent to renovate Rightsell Elementary School. The administration recommends that Rightsell Elementary be closed and the students currently assigned to Rightsell Elementary at Washington be reassigned effective at the beginning of the 2006-07 school year. The closure of Rightsell will allow students to attend newer schools and will not negatively impact their education. The administration further recommends that the district work with the community to develop other options for utilizing this facility in the future. PREPARED BY: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: FBC CLOSING OF SCHOOLS A school will be considered for closure based on a recommendation from the administration to the Board of Education or the recommendation may originate from the Board. Consideration for closure will be based on the following factors: excessive cost of operation due to enrollment, excessive cost of renovation and repair due to the age and physical condition of the facility, inability of the district to deliver the required curriculum in the facility, and any applicable federal court orders. A decision to close a school will be made by the Board of Education. Prior to any decision to close a school, there will be open discussion of the prospect of closure with the community in which the school is located. A public announcement of the proposal to close a school will precede the closing date by at least twelve months, except in cases of extreme emergency.

(c) Attend Rightsell but do not live in Rightsell Attendance Zone (K thru 4) Currently 162 elementary-age students (Pre-K through 4th grade) live in the Rightsell Attendance Zone (see Attachment Table: A). Sixty nine (69) of these students presently attend another elementary school through choice options and would remain in their current school for the 2006-2007 school year (see Attachment Table: BJ. As of September 14, 2005, Rightsell Elementary School has a student population of 186
28 of those students are in the 5th grade and will move into middle school for the 2006- 07 school year. The Washington Elementary School complex currently houses a total of 829 students
186 Rightsell Elementary students and 643 students Washington Elementary School students. A total of 158 Pre-K through 4th grade students currently attend Rightsell Elementary School
93 from the Rightsell attendance zone and 65 from out-of-zone. The sixty-five (65) students would be reassigned to their attendance zone schools for 2006-2007 school year (see Attachment Table: CJ. A total 162 students who reside in the Rightsell Attendance Zone would be impacted by the reassignments. Naturally, all students are provided choice options through magnet school placements, Transfer/ No Transportation {TNT) or Majority to Minority (M to M) transfers through established procedures provided by the Student Registration Office. With the majority of Rightsell students presently attending Washington Elementary, the disruption to students and parents should be minimal. The administration will recommend dividing the Rightsell Attendance Zone utilizing Wright Avenue / 1th Street as the zone boundary. This will result in thirty (30) students who reside north of Wright Avenue/ 17th Street to be assigned to King Elementary School
132 students who reside south of Wright Avenue / 1 ih Street would be reassigned to Washington Elementary School. kU13dOHd :10 SNOllVNOO ':) Little Rock School District Rightsell Attendance Zone 2006 - 2007 Elementary Students Who Reside in the Rightsell Attendance Zone (P4 - 4th Grade) RIGHTSELL Grade Level Zone Blocks P4 K 1 2 434 1 2 1 435 2 1 1 448 3 2 1 449 3 8 2 450 1 0 1 454 1 3 3 455 1 2 5 456 3 6 6 464 4 4 2 Total 19 28 22 Table: A 1N3W33H~V 3S0 ONYl a 1N3WNHnorov 11x 0 2 1 6 7 5 2 5 5 33 3 2 1 3 4 3 4 4 0 5 26 "'INIHV3H 1N3001S 'IX IHVW3H ~NISOl:> 'X 4 3 1 3 4 6 5 8 0 4 34 Total 9 8 13 27 18 21 22 20 24 162 1HOd3H 1111:>NVNl:I a Little Rock School District Rightsell Attendance Zone Study 2006-2007 Reside in Rightsell Attendance Zone and Attend Other Elementary Schools Rlghtsell Zone Current School Grade Level Total Blocks P4 K 1 2 3 4 FOREST PARK 1 1 FRANKLIN 1 1 KING 1 1 0434 MCDERMOTT 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 WILLIAMS 1 1 Subtotal 1 0 0 0 2 3 6 FAIR PARK 1 1 Home School 1 1 0435 JEFFERSON 1 1 KING 1 1 ROCKEFELLER 1 2 3 Subtotal 2 0 1 2 1 1 7 ALT AGENCY 1 1 BALE 1 1 GIBBS 1 1 0448 KING 1 1 STEPHENS 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 3 0 0 0 2 1 6 BALE 1 1 2 CARVER 1 1 0449 CRYSTAL HILL 1 1 1 3 FAIR PARK 3 3 GIBBS 1 1 Subtotal 3 0 1 2 1 3 10 CHICOT 1 1 0450 STEPHENS 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 1 0 1 0 0 1 3 CARVER 1 1 2 GIBBS 1 1 JEFFERSON 1 1 0454 KING 1 1 OUTSIDE DIST. 1 1 STEPHENS 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 1 2 0 2 1 2 8 BOOKER 2 1 3 GIBBS 1 1 JEFFERSON 1 1 0455 KING 1 1 ROCKEFELLER 1 1 2 4 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 1 0 2 2 2 4 11 BOOKER 2 2 CARVER 1 1 GIBBS 1 1 2 0456 KING 1 1 2 OUTSIDE DIST. 1 1 2 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 3 2 4 1 0 0 10 BOOKER 1 1 FAIR PARK 1 1 FRANKLIN 1 1 0464 KING 1 1 WASHINGTON 2 2 WILLIAMS 1 1 WOODRUFF 1 1 Subtotal 4 1 0 0 1 2 8 Grand Total 19 5 9 9 10 17 69 Table: B Little Rock School District Rightsell Study 2005-2006 Students Attending Rightsell not living in Rightsell Attendance Zone (K thru 4) Grade Attendance Zone School K 1 2 3 4 Total OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT 3 1 1 2 7 BALE 1 1 1 1 4 CLOVERDALE ELEM 1 1 1 3 FRANKLIN 2 1 3 GEYER SPRINGS 1 1 KING 1 2 2 5 PULASKI HEIGHTS ELEM 1 1 ROCKEFELLER 5 3 4 1 2 15 - STEPHENS 1 2 3 TERRY 1 1 WASHINGTON 8 3 5 2 3 21 WATSON 1 1 Total 20 14 12 12 7 65 Table: C ..,, z > , z n ,>- ~ el ~ :><- >.< v...,. ,nc: O C v, mz Zc, ""'::a :Cm ~~ z2:!

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Land-use Agreement Little Rock School District/Little Rock Boys and Girls Club BACKGROUND: The 2000 millage program identified a need for additional parking at Woodruff Elementary School. Recently, the opportunity presented itself to partner with the Little Rock Boys and Girls Club to develop property owned by them to meet the parking needs of both the elementary school and Lamar Porter Baseball Field. RATIONALE: Negotiations between the Little Rock School District and the Little Rock Boys and Girls Club provided an agreement for the joint-use of property located on the southwest corner of Johnson and th Streets upon which a parking lot has been constructed according to current City standards. The parking lot will be available for use by both Woodruff Elementary School and the Little Rock Boys and Girls Club at Lamar Porter Baseball Field. The attached agreement provides for cost-sharing in the initial development of the property and a prorated share dealing with maintenance and upkeep for a period of 25 years beginning in 2005. FUNDING: Bond funds for this project were approved by the Board of Directors as a part of the 2000 millage appropriation. On-going maintenance and repairs will be funded by the Dedicated Millage Fund. ,>.<. .> < rn n .... re: 0 om mz Zc, ""'
