Milhollen, Manager \~ Financial Services Roy G. Brooks, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools Bill Goodman, District Engineer~ September 2004 Construction Report-Bond Projects The new media center serving both Pulaski Heights Middle and Elementary Schools and the new media center at Dunbar Magnet Middle have been completed and are being used by the staff and students even though the shelving for the books has not been installed. I think you will agree with me that the exterior appearance at both locations is much better as well. I have had several patrons call me to tell me this. The latter phases of renovation of Central High are well under way. The project will be completed the summer of 2005. The project has gone very smoothly due to the good working relationship between the school staff, LRSD Facility Services personnel and the contractor. The reflecting pond at Central High School will be completed this month. The National Park Service will hold a dedication ceremony in the near future. Please call me at 447-1146 if you have any questions. 810 W Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 www.lrsd.kl2.ar.us 501-324-2000 fax: 501-324-2032 ' p 1ii :z:c 0 -< C: "D ~ m fl! !I: z m~ en s - o r- C: ill~ !20 oc: >~ ~~

Brooks, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent-Curriculum and Instruction LRSD-LRCTA Partnership Agreement-National Board Certification Program to assist schools on School Improvement Status I am happy to announce that the District and the Classroom Teachers Association are collaborating on an initiative to support two teachers from each of the schools on School Improvement Status to seek certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. National Board Certification measures a teacher's practice against high and rigorous research-based standards. The process is an extensive series of performance-based assessments that includes teaching portfolios, student work samples, videotapes and thorough analyses of the teacher's classroom teaching and student learning. In addition, teachers must successfully complete a series of written exercises that probe the depth of their subject-matter knowledge. As a result, National Board Certified Teachers have demonstrated that they know their content area, how to teach it, and how to reach all children. The District has 28 schools that are projected to be on School Improvement List for the 2004- 05 school term, although nine of those schools did meet standards last year and can be removed from that list if they again meet standards this year. The Partnership was formed to assist these 28 schools. The Partnership between the District and the Classroom Teachers Association has three goals directed at the schools on School Improvement Status: 1) To improve teacher quality 2) To strengthen the instructional leadership team 3) To improve student achievement in mathematics and literacy We think that this Partnership will be a strong step to assist the lowest performing schools. In addition, the collaboration with the Classroom Teachers Association is a statement that we are all in this together, that responsibility and accountability for student achievement belongs with all employees of the district and, indeed, our community as a whole. A copy of the Partnership Agreement is attached. We ask that you endorse the Partnership. -- LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT-LITTLE ROCK CLASSROOM TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION PROGRAM SUPPORT FOR LOW PERFORMING SCHOOLS Brief Description: The District is undertaking a joint initiative with the Classroom Teachers Association to assist two teachers in each of the schools on school improvement status to gain National Board Certification. The District recognizes that the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification process can improve teacher quality through intensive professional development. An expansive study funded by the U. S. Department of Education shows that students make greater gains when taught by National Board Certified Teachers. A large number of teachers have expressed preliminary interest in this program. Goals: 1. Teacher Quality: To improve teacher quality through participation in a rigorous professional development program that is centered on standards for teaching that represent a consensus among accomplished teachers and other education experts about what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. 2. Leadership Development: To strengthen the instructional leadership of key teachers in schools on School Improvement Status through service as a trainer of other teachers and parents. 3. Student Achievement: Process: To improve student achievement in math and literacy on the ACTAAP Exams in schools on School Improvement Status. All teachers meeting the NBPTS criteria at each of the schools on School Improvement Status will have an opportunity to apply for the program. Each teacher must complete a form provided by the district to indicate their interest in the program. The "show of interest" will require the teacher to respond to a writing prompt about why they want to engage in National Board Certification (limit 125-150 words). The partners will jointly conduct a lottery to select two teachers-one African-American or other minority and one Caucasian-from each school for participation in the program. Each applicant selected will receive a grant of $2300.00 to fund the cost of enrolling in the NBPTS program. If a school does not have two qualified applicants, the slots may be given to a school that is NOT on school improvement. The selected teachers must sign a contract with the LRSD agreeing to remain employed in the same school or another school that is currently on School Improvement Status in LRSD for three years after certification. (The removal of a school from School Improvement Status does not mean that a participating teacher must move to another school that is still on School Improvement Status.) Additionally, the teacher would serve on a professional development committee of the District as a trainer of other teachers and parents. The teacher would agree to offer 6 hours of professional development, consistent with state requirements under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (NCLB), once each semester. The participating teachers will be required to attend support group meetings offered by the District and/or Association during their year(s) of effort to certify and must agree to follow through on the process and offer at minimum two (2) three (3) hour workshops for teachers organized at the Association level per year. One such meeting could occur at the ABA Fall Convention. Other service options for those attempting to certify could include the following: a) Service on a LRSD/LRCT A Ad Hoc Committee appointed by Director of Staff Development or Little Rock School District b) Participation in a summer program ( 4 hours a week) involving at-risk children c) Offering of service as a supplemental provider under federal and state law to Children in their schools for 2 hours a week as a tutor Funding: The total cost of the program depends on how many schools are on Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 School Improvement Status. The District projects that 28 schools will be on school improvement for 2004-05. If each school enrolls two teachers in the NBPTS Program, the total cost would be $128,800. This District agrees to provide up to $94,300 for the program. The Association will assist with the remaining $34,500 by aiding teachers to secure funding from other sources, such as the federal candidate subsidy funding available through the Arkansas Department of Education, the National Education Association, or the Targeted High Needs Initiative (THINI) grant. Evaluation: The evaluation of the partnership will be based on: the number of participating teachers who receive their National Board Certification from the 2004-05 list of schools on School Improvement Status
the improvement in student achievement at each the schools on School Improvement Status that have teachers participating in the NBPTS Program
the teacher and parent training provided by the participating teachers by number of hours of training provided and the evaluation of the training by those being trained. ---- ~

Brooks, Superintendent Dr. Sadie Mitchell~sociate Superintendent A Report on the Principals' Evaluation Handbook for School Administrators You were provided a copy of the revised evaluation handbook that will be implemented for assessing the performance of principals and assistant principals for 2004-05 and sequent years. After a long and intensive year of research, discussion, revising , and collaboration, we are happy to introduce to you this evaluation handbook that focuses on six standards in accordance to the Arkansas Department of Education Administrators Licensure Standards and the Educational Leadership Consortium Council Standards. We truly believe this document represents the best thinking, research , standards, and indicators for evaluating the performance of school administrators. Two changes were made to the principals' evaluation document since the agenda meeting on September 9. The document will reflect the following revisions (see attachments): 1) Insert the words "clean and attractive" in the expectation for school facilities, Standard 3, Indicator 3, page 29. 2) Insert an expectation that addresses student recruitment as a vehicle for increasing school/district enrollment and diversity in Standard 5, . Indicator 2, page 32. We look forward to sharing with you in a forthcoming report about the revised appraisal system for building administrators. 810 W Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 www.lrsd.k12.ar.us 501-324-2000 fax: 501-324-2032 !JI (') 0 ~ ~... > !:i

Brooks, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools Prepared by: Sadie Mitchell, Ed.D., Associate Superintendent, School Services Chris Heller, Attorney, Friday, Eldredge & Clark Re: First Reading: Policy JIH - Student Searches Background: As you will recall, Attorney Chris Heller provided a report at the September agenda meeting regarding the recent ruling from the Eighth Circuit Court of appeals on our student search procedures. We have an obligation to provide a safe and secure learning environment and we therefore have an obligation to conduct constitutionally lawful searches when necessary and appropriate. Based on your discussion, Mr. Heller has recommended implementing a Board policy that will provide for those searches to be conducted for administrative rather than for law enforcement purposes. Recommendation: I recommend first reading approval of policy JIH, Student Searches. We will return for second reading at the October board meeting. !D n 0 .z.. . ~ .n.. . > !:i
:c fl 8 z ~ 0z Ch LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: JIH STUDENT SEARCHES It is the policy of the Little Rock School District Board of Education to conduct administrative searches of students for the purpose of detecting and deterring the presence of weapons and drugs in schools. In order for the District to implement an effective search policy in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, student searches will be conducted for administrative, rather than law enforcement purposes. Accordingly, to the extent this policy does not conflict with state or federal law, any contraband discovered during an administrative search of a student will subject that student to appropriate Little Rock School District administrative sanctions but will not be reported to law enforcement authorities. Any student found in possession of drugs or any contraband will be given an administrative sanction as outlined in the Little Rock Students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. ,.,,...,,..

i5 z Cl) TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: Background LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 Board of Directors Dr. Roy Brooks, Superintendent Junious Babbs, Associate Superintendent Administrative Services Student Assignment Committee Assignment Plan Recommendation September 23, 2004 On September 13, 2002, the District Court granted LRSD partial unitary status, finding that the District had substantially complied with the Revised Desegregation and Education Plan ("Revised Plan") in all areas except 2. 7 .1. The Revised Plan incorporated a number of race-based student assignment policies as a part of the District's effort to eliminate the vestiges of its past discrimination. LRSD's being declared unitary changes the analysis with regard to the constitutionality of the LRSD's intra-district race-based student assignment policies and requires a change in the student assignment plan. On December 18, 2003, a student assignment plan was approved for one year (2004-05). It included a weighted random assignment process, utilizing the characteristics of race ( as a factor), achievement test performance and economic status (free-and-reduced lunch). The adopted 2004-05 Little Rock School District Student Assignment Plan recognizes attendance zone school precedence
however, additional attention and focus were developed with the intent to provide both an educational choice option and maintain student diversity (to the extent practicable). Providing students and their families with school choice is a key component of the student assignment plan. School Choice is viewed as a healthy method of encouraging students to take advantage of unique curriculum offerings, special emphasis and program activities. fl C 0z ~ 0 z "' ~ 0 5 "z' C)
:u m I The Board also appointed a school district-wide committee, whose charge was to: Hold community-wide (LRSD) meetings to obtain additional parent, staff and community input. Seek additional expert consultation and study. Advise the Board regarding citizen's views and opinions pertaining to a longrange student assignment plan. Observe and examine the 2004-05 student assignment process, the new applicant pool and resultant findings. Recommendation It is recommended that the Board of Education adopt the attached Student Assignment Committee recommendation. (Attachment) Final Report Little Rock School District Student Assignment Plan Committee Each member of the Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District appointed two individuals to serve on the Little Rock School District Student Assignment Plan Committee for Specialty Magnet Schools (Central, Fair, Hall, McClellan, Cloverdale Middle, Dunbar, Henderson, Mabelvale Middle, King, Rockefeller Early Childhood, Romine, Washington). The specific "charge" given the committee was to: Observe and examine the 2004-05 student assignment process, new applicant pool and resultant findings
Seek additional expert consultation and study
Hold community-wide (LRSD) meetings to obtain additional parent, staff and community input
and Advise the LRSD Board of Directors regarding citizen's views and opinions pertaining to a long-range student assignment plan. The Committee members were: Co-Chairs Michael Daugherty, LRSD Board Member Junious Babbs, Associate Superintendent - Administrative Services 1. Patty Barker 2. Lisa Black 3. Tom Brock 4. Jody Carreiro 5. Tommy Hodges 6. Duane Jackson 7. Mallory Jewell 8. Freeman McKindra 9. Juan Vasques 10. Alma Viscarra 11. Diane Vibhakar 12. Connie Whitfield 13. Carol Young The Committee met on three occasions (6-2-04 / 6-08-04 / 8-31-04) to discuss the committee charge, review resource material and determine the best process to accomplish the charge. It was determined that three community-wide forums would be held to obtain parent, staff and community input. The dates, locations and attendance, including staff and commit.tee members were as follows: 1. July 20, 2004 - Neighborhood Resource Center - 28 attendees 2. July 29, 2004 - Dee Brown Library- 21 attendees 3. August 10, 04 - LRSD Board Room - 32 attendees !D 0 .0z.. . .~... > ~ ?= fl 0 0z ~ i5 z en ?:S 0 5 en z C>
:o m ~ ~ en Student Assignment Committee Report Page 2 A similar format was used at each community forum. A brief background of the issue was presented followed by a two-part discussion. Participants were asked to share with the group their experiences with the current student assignment plan. Was it a positive experience and if so what worked best? If the experience was not positive, what did not work? The discussion then focused on the criteria of the current plan and whether or not changes needed to be made. A list of criteria being considered in other school districts was provided. A compilation of these comments can be found in the Community Forum Summary of this report. The Committee met at the conclusion of the community forums to consider the discussions and prepare a recommendation for the board members. That recommendation can be found in the Committee Recommendation section of this report. Community Forum Summa!)' Patron experience with the 2004-2005 plan was generally positive in regard to satisfaction with student placement. Individual instances of dissatisfaction occurred due to the inverse criteria at a particular school working to the detriment of an applicant. It was pointed out that the inverse criteria will vary from school to school and staff explained how those criteria are determined. Overall there was a positive expression of intent to keep both choice and diversity for the specialty magnets and that the current plan provides the best opportunity for both. During each forum there was discussion concerning the reason for the magnet programs. This discussion was generally followed by expressions that every school be desirable. If all neighborhood schools operated at a proficient level of excellence, parents would be more inclined to support their neighborhood school. One of the most impassioned topics of discussion was patron information, understanding and navigation of the placement system. This communication issue, along with several other topics, was not within the charge to the committee. These topics are covered in the Suggestions for Future Consideration part of this report. In each forum, criteria for placement were discussed along with additional attributes that could be considered. It was generally thought that the current system was as fair as possible. Committee Discussion The committee discussed using academic achievement as a direct basis instead of as an inverse basis and giving it heavier weight. It was not adopted and determined to be detrimental to less advantaged students. Incorporating any of the additional academic attributes [GPA, 35% percentile in math and literacy, top 20% of class, 30% (outside zone) by overall score rank order] would only further complicate an already complicated system. Citizenship criteria (attendance criteria, no more than X number of absences, or no more than X number of tardies) were also considered. The inclusion of any would also further complicate the system as well as work to the detriment of a specific group. Student Assignment Committee Report Page 3 English proficiency status, longevity within LRSD, gender and geographic diversity were discussed but not recommended for inclusion in any change. Committee Recommendation After considering the discussions of LRSD parents, staff and the community, the Committee recommends that the current 2004-2005 student assignment plan be retained with no changes at this time, with the exception of attendance zone students retaining priority and Rockefeller Early Childhood program. At Rockefeller, a numbered waiting list will be utilized for Rockefeller Early Childhood program as opposed to a weighted pool providing parents with more definite information on child care placement. Suggestions for Future Consideration ___ _ The recommendation of the Committee responds to the charge given in May of 2004. However, during the community forums and subsequent committee discussions, a pattern emerged regarding some issues related to student placement but which were outside the charge to the Committee. These are presented to the Board with the strongest encouragement for action from this Committee. These concerns and suggestions for consideration/action are: 1. In order to better attract and keep patrons in the District, the assignment process must be easy to navigate. Make the system more user friendly Improve communication channels regarding assignment policies Add/improve sources of assistance when seeking information Develop a brochure explaining the student assignment process and choice options 2. Study the purpose and effects of specialty magnet programs, including resource allocation and program assessment. 3. Continue to strengthen neighborhood schools. 4. Establish a system for tracking students who do not get their preferred placement. Determine if they remain in the District. 5. Since data and choice demands will vary each year, the Student Assignment process for Specialty Magnet Schools should be reviewed annually to report outcomes. f> 8 z !i iz5 "' ?:S n 5 "z' C)
