The representatives diligently worked all day to coordinate a teacher professional development calendar that would maximize the designated professional development days for district and building use, and that would address the needs of teachers in this district. After much discussion, it was decided that the primary emphasis for the preschool professional development would be on strategies and techniques that would facilitate improved student achievement and teaching in the areas of math, literacy, and science. Attached is a calendar that outlines the specific days when professional development will be observed by our teachers in this district for both regular schools and the extended year schools.

Principals' Leadership Institute July 26-29, 2004 Attachrent B As the district focuses on six primary standards for effective leadership this year, every effort will be made to connect the district's professional development for principals and assistant principals to the six standards as listed. 1) Instructional Leadership 2) Organizational Leadership 3) Management Leadership 4) Community Leadership 5) Ethical Leadership 6) Environmental Context Leadership The topics that will be addressed at the July Institute were determined at a district-wide planning meeting held on April 15, 2004, where personnel from the Curriculum and Instruction Division and the School Services Division met all day to identify critical topics and needs for both teachers and administrators. The needs for principals were captured in a survey that was administered to principals in order to ascertain their input. The topics that will be addressed throughout the year have been identified by the building leaders as critical to their professional development, instructional competency, and professional growth. Other topics that will be addressed this year are as follows: Motivating the Staff/Faculty to Maximize Performance Using the Palm Pilot to Monitor the Classroom Walk-through Dealing with Difficult People: Leadership Skills and Interoffice Difficulties Data Analysis and Review: A Closer Look at 2004 Benchmark Results Managing and Dealing with the Difficult Parent (Dr. Todd Whitaker) Instructional Strategies Follow-up Session with Dr. Marcia Tate De-escalating Incidents and Difficult Situations Assessing the Professional Growth Plans: Year II Managing and Investigating Incidents and Allegations with Confidence Preparing for the Arbitration and Grievance Hearing What Every Leader Needs to Know: Student Due Process and IDEA No Child Left Behind Update Using the PTAS Rubrics to Score Teaching Performance Understanding the Context for Leadership: My Leadership Style First Things First: Time and Stress Management Leading, Supporting, and Assessing Reading and Writing Practices Managing the High-Dollar School Budget and Financial Resources > .f.>, m :a is zz ,m... n I C) m u, :.,,s c ::a tD nc ::c UJ 1

District representatives were asked to discuss to what extent they comply with state and orth Central Accreditation (NCA) standards in hiring and placing assistant principals in their elementary and secondary schools. Attached are the results of what we learned about how schools determine the employment of assistant principals. You will also find below the state, NCA, and LRSD guidelines for the employment and placement of assistant principals in schools. State Standard A school with an enrollment exceeding 500 students will employ a full-time principal and at least one of the following: 1) time assistant principal or 2) instructional supervisor or 3) curriculum specialist North Central Association (NCA) An elementary or secondary school with over 250 students will employ a full-time principal. An elementary school with over 800 students shall employ a time assistant principal. Middle schools that have over 500 students shall employ a time assistant principal. A secondary school that has over 1,000 students shall employ a full-time assistant principal. Little Rock School District An elementary school with over 500 students will receive a full-time assistant principal. However, some consideration is given to schools with special program needs (i.e., CBI, TAP). Middle schools traditionally have received two assistant principals regardless of their enrollment size. A middle school that has a population exceeding 700 students will receive an additional half-time assistant principal who is a part-time teacher in the building. However, some consideration is given to schools with environmental or special programming needs in placing additional assistant principals. For every 350 students, a high school receives an assistant principal. However, some consideration is given to schools with environmental or special programming needs in placing additional assistant principals. > !.,",' m ~ z z ~ C') ::,: ~ C') m "' :..,s c ::ca, nc :,:en >z mm m. u",' ~"' :,:m 8~ r-m a,"' C "m' "' !JI I: 0 C ~....,, z C') .,,.~ >::C no -<c oz::z:! .. m ~.,, ~.... !I:! .... ,-m ~ !JI I: z C... . m "' School Contact Person Standard Current Additional District Compliance Practice on Information on Hiring APs Hirin!:!

Other factors such as teacher evaluation, school accountability, safety, special education monitoring and compliance, and NCLB demands warranted an AP in most of their schools regardless of the enrollment. > f) .,, m :a is zz m,.... n ~ C) m en :.,,s c:::

Associate Superintendent - School Services FR: Krista Underwood - Director - Early Childhood RE: Report on Expansion of the Pre-K Program Please see attached chart for additional information. Schools Approved for Funding by ABCSS (First group of schools shown on the chart) In the seventeen schools which were approved for funding, the district had hoped to open twelve (12) new Pre-K classrooms in the following schools: Baseline (1 new classroom) Brady (1) Chicot (2) Cloverdale (1) Dodd (1) Mabel vale( 1) Stephens (1) Wakefield (1) Washington (2) Wilson (1) On the chart, the number of potential classrooms to be added is shown in column E: # added classrooms. After working with student registration and trying to project the level of interest in the community, of the twelve potentially new classrooms, the district decided to open seven (7) new classrooms in the following schools: Brady, Chicot (1 classroom only), Dodd, Mabelvale, Stephens, Wakefield, Washington (1 only) On the chart, these numbers are shown in column H: # classrooms adding. The district also decided to "hold" or delay opening new classrooms in the following schools until there was more assurance we would have students to fill the classrooms: Baseline, Cloverdale, Chicot (1), Washington (1) and Wilson On the chart, these numbers are shown in column I:# classrooms holding. Schools Eligible but Not Approved for ABCSS Funding (Second group of schools on the chart) The district decided to hold opening new classrooms in the non-funded schools except for Meadowcliff and Otter Creek. See justification for Otter Creek below. Schools Not Eligible for ABCSS Funding (Third group of schools on the chart) Because of the level of demand for Pre-K classrooms in these schools (Fulbright, Jefferson, Terry, Otter Creek, McDermott, and Forest Park), the district decided to open one additional classroom ( 6 total) in each of those schools. These schools are shown in the last group of schools listed on the chart. Even though these schools were not eligible for funding, it was the decision of the district to divert district funding that would be the source of funds for the seventeen funded schools to expansion of the Pre-K classrooms in these schools. All of the procedures and activities for opening the 12 new classrooms are currently in motion. > .f.l, m

Milhollen, Manager, Financial Services Roy G. Brooks, Ed. D., Superintendent Subject: Purchase of School Buses The District established a ten-year cycle to update the transportation fleet for special needs students. Presently, we have eleven ( 11) buses that have been in service in excess of ten years. In order to stay on cycle we need to purchase eight (8) buses for the 2004- 2005 school year. Enrollment at the Alternative Leaming Centers (ALC and Garland) is projected to increase by 25% next year, as evidenced by the Board-approved expansion at the June 24 Board meeting. Three of the eight new buses will be used to transport these students. The total cost of these eight buses will be approximately $480,000. It is estimated that if financed over a seven-year period, the District would have an annual payment of about $83,000. Funding for these buses has already been included in the 2004-2005 Draft Budget. It is recommended that the Board approve the purchase and financing of eight (8) buses and authorize the administration to proceed with the procurement process. 810 \YJ. 1arkham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 ,vww.lrsd.org 501-447-1000 fax: 501-447-1001 !:D ~ 0 C: !!l ..>..,, z Cl 0.., z >z (") ,....

Brooks, Superintendent of Schools Prepared by: Ms. Beverly Williams, Director of Human Resources RE: Dr. Sadie Mitchell, Associate Superintendent for Schools Mr. Mark Milhollen, Manager of Financial Services Memorandum of understanding regarding the vote of the Board on staffing issues I June 24, 2004 After a thorough review of the minutes of the Board meeting held on Thursday, June 24, 2004, it was determined that the consensus of the Board was to approve the following staffing positions: Elementary Teachers 12.0 Elementary Teachers - split classroom 5.0 Elementary Consulting Teachers 15.0 Secondary Teachers 23.9 ALC - Garland 9.5 ALC - Apperson 6.0 Total New Positions from the 71.4 Operating Budget 2004-05 A more detailed breakdown of positions by school is attached for the Board's information. The Board approved the proposed increase of nineteen (19) new Pre-K classrooms contingent upon receipt of ABCSS grant funds from the Arkansas Department of Education. As with any classroom positions, these teachers will only be hired if the number of students requires these additional positions. Adjustments with regard to specific schools and grades may be warranted as the student population shifts throughout the District. It is the recommendation of the Superintendent that the elementary consulting teachers be employed after all the regular classrooms are staffed. It is also his recommendation that the positions at the ALC (both Garland and Apperson) be staffed only after evidence that the enrollment at these sites is sufficient to justify the positions. We are asking at this time for the Board to take action to reaffirm the intent of their consensus vote on June 24, 2004. , I ALTERNATIVE LEARNING CENTER JUNE 30, 2004 SITE # of TYPES of POSITIONS POSITIONS APPERSON 4.0 Teachers 2.0 Paraprofessionals Sub Total 6.0 - GARLAND 1.0 Assist.
