Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Proposed Changes in the Middle and High School Curriculum Programs for 2005-2006 BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Board Policy IG, Curriculum Development, Adoption, and Review, and Board Policy IGA, Curriculum Program Alignment and Coherence, all curricular revisions are to be approved by the Board of Directors. RATIONALE: In response to the diverse needs of our students as well as our commitment to continuous cultivation of their growth, new courses were developed and current course descriptions and assignment levels were amended. Furthermore, upon review of our Middle and High School Curriculum Programs, it was deduced that courses were being offered year-after-year in which students were not enrolled. Consequently, due to a lack of enrollment or program termination such courses are slated to be deleted. MIDDLE SCHOOL A summary of the proposed middle school curriculum changes for the 2005-2006 school year are as follows: Business Education 1. Delete Exploratory Multimedia - duplication of course numbers 2. Delete Introductory Economics - continued lack of enrollment 3. Delete Real World Economics - continued lack of enrollment 4.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Mitchell Elementary School BACKGROUND: Mitchell Elementary, with a capacity of 283, had only 156 students enrolled on October 1, 2004, with 125 of those students living in the Mitchell attendance zone. Taking into account the fifth grade students who will move on to middle schools, only 114 attendance zone students will be affected by this action. Based on the current enrollment, the instructional cost per pupil is $10,167.55, which is approximately twice the amount spent at other elementary schools in the District. Constructed in 1908, Mitchell is unable to meet current educational standards without extensive and costly repairs and renovations. In January 2004, the Board approved funding for remediation work at Mitchell. Projects have been undertaken with approximately $356,395 spent for asbestos removal and moisture and mold remediation. Additional renovation work would bring the facility up to current codes but not in line with neighboring state-of-the-art schools, and would require additional allocation of resources. 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 FBC-Closing of Schools, that allows for the consideration for closure based on factors such as excessive cost of operation due to enrollment and excessive cost of renovation and repair due to the age and physical condition of the facility. Schools in similar situations, such as Stephens, Garland, Badgett and lsh, were closed because of low enrollment coupled with high operational and renovation costs. FUNDING: N/A )< )< ,... =m )< >m c<"> <... C: 0-< ~~ Zcr 3: rr mer Zcr -<c :z RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation for closing Mitchell Elementary School was provided in detail in the October report to the Board District Operation of Schools with Low Enrollment. Consideration has been given to the decline in enrollment, the capacity to accommodate the current attendance zone students at neighboring schools, and an analysis of per pupil instructional and construction costs. It is not in the best interest of students, nor is it financially prudent, to continue to use Mitchell as an elementary school. The administration recommends that we work with the community to develop other options for utilizing this facility in the future. The recommendation, which will affect students currently assigned to Mitchell Elementary School, would be effective at the beginning of the 2005-06 school year. PREPARED BY: Mark D. Milhollen, Manager Financial Services DATE: TO: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 December 16, 2004 Board of Directors FROM: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Fair Park Elementary School BACKGROUND: Fair Park Elementary, with a capacity of 304 and an October 1, 2004 enrollment of 187, is the second lowest enrollment school in the District. Constructed in 1929, Fair Park has an unusually high instructional cost per pupil at $7,016, with a low utilization factor of 61 %. The bond issue provided funding for projects in the amount of $1.3 million. To date, heating and ventilation systems have been updated, asbestos has been removed, and energy efficient lighting has been installed. The funds remaining from the bond/ millage allocation, approximately $800,000, will remain at Fair Park and be used to convert the facility for use as an Early Childhood Center. RATIONALE: As the second lowest enrollment school in the District, Fair Park Elementary warrants a review of the options available. Board Policy FBC---Closing of Schools, provides for consideration to close a school if certain factors exist, including excessive cost of operation due to enrollment. However, converting the Fair Park facility to an early childhood education center will provide alternate educational use for the facility within a reasonable budget and timeframe. The District could realize an enhanced environment for young children and a better utilization of resources by reconfiguring the use of the Fair Park facility to an early childhood center. Focusing more attention and resources on early intervention for children will not only better prepare them for elementary and secondary grades, but most likely would bring additional students into the District that would carry into the future. We believe the community will support using the facility as an early childhood center.

Consideration has been given to the decline in enrollment, the capacity to accommodate the current attendance zone students at neighboring schools, and an analysis of per pupil instructional and construction costs. The benefits of operating an early childhood education center at that location would provide a better utilization of District resources and an extension of educational services to the community. Based on these facts and dialogue with the educational community, the administration recommends the reconfiguration of Fair Park from a Pre-K - 5 to an early childhood education center. The recommendation, which will affect students currently assigned to Fair Park, would be effective at the beginning of the 2005-06 school year. PREPARED BY: Mark D.
