LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKF GENERAL EDUCATION GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS The Little Rock School District Board of Education believes that students should graduate from high school possessing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed for responsible citizenship, life-long learning, and productive employment in our modern economy. Programs for post-secondary preparation will be available to equip students for the advanced training that will be needed for the work of the 21 st century. The Little Rock School District will be responsible for providing the educational opportunities and experiences that will enable our students to take full advantage of post-secondary education and employment opportunities available to them after graduation. The District shares with the state of Arkansas the commitment to ensure all students have access to a rigorous curriculum. The District's general graduation requirements meet and exceed the State's adopted Smart Core or Common Core curriculum. Diploma-Earning Options A student may earn a diploma from a Little Rock School District high school in one of four ways. Each has different requirements and different numbers of required units of credit. 1. Diploma from any of the five high schools for completion of the required 26 units. 2. Diploma from any of the five high schools for completion of the Little Rock Scholars curriculum of 28 units, including at least eight Pre-Advanced Placement or Advanced Placement courses. Hall High School students may take University Studies courses as substitutes for Pre-Advanced Placement and/or Advanced Placement courses. 3. Diploma earned at the Accelerated Learning Center for completion of the 22 units required by the State of Arkansas. 4. Diploma with waived or altered requirements established by an Individual Education Program (IEP) team for a student identified with disabilities. Even though the graduation requirements may be changed by the Board of Education during the time a student is enrolled in high school, the requirements established for a student's graduation class (assuming graduation in four years of high school) are those he/she must meet, even though he/she may require more than four years to earn the necessary number of units. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT (continued) Transfer Students NEPN CODE: IKF All transfer students must meet the graduation requirements of the Little Rock School District in order to receive a diploma. The LRSD high schools will accept transfer credits, grades and grade placement for students who previously attended Arkansas high schools that are accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education (See JE for additional information). Students who transfer into a Little Rock School District high school from a home school or an unaccredited high school must attend at least two semesters in order to receive a high school diploma (see IKED and IKED-R) and must attend at least four semesters to be eligible for rank-in-class (See IKC-R). Foreign Exchange students who complete the senior year in good standing may, at the discretion of the principal, participate in the graduation ceremony. Requirement to Attend School for a Full Day Act 675 of 2003 requires students in grades nine through twelve (9-12) to schedule and attend a full school day. Students must enroll in no fewer than three hundred fifty (350) minutes of planned instructional time each day as a requirement for graduation. Students may be assigned to no more than one (1) block each year or one-half block each semester for study hall or organized tutoring. Enrollment and attendance in vocational-education training courses, college courses, and school work programs may be used to satisfy the requirement of the law. Enrollment and attendance at a post-secondary institution by an eligible student for credit shall be counted by the high school at the following rate: Number of college credits (semester Credit toward the required 30 hour hours) week 1 3 2 6 3 9 4 12 5 15 6 18 7 21 8 24 9 27 10 30 2 c:,:, .,, z >z n >,...

In order to receive a Magnet Seal, magnet students must complete fill the requirements of the magnet program. Students transferring into a magnet program after the freshman year may earn a diploma from that high school, but they will not earn the Magnet Seal. Arkansas Scholars Seal (privately sponsored) Arkansas Scholars, a program of the Arkansas business & Education Alliance, is a partnership between the District and the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce's Education Committee. Many local businesses have agreed to recognize the achievement of Arkansas Scholars status as a symbol of high quality education. A special Arkansas Scholars seal will be affixed to the diploma and transcript of a student who meets the following standards established by the Arkansas Scholars program: 1. Earn a grade of "C" or above in all courses. 2. Achieve a 95 percent or better attendance record for each of the four years of high school. 3. Complete high school in eight consecutive semesters. 4.

Completes the units required for the Little Rock Scholars curriculum, which includes and goes beyond the requirements of the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board for unconditional admission to any public two-year or fouryear institution of higher education in Arkansas and which includes, but goes beyond, the requirements for eligibility for the Arkansas Challenge Scholarsh ip The Little Rock Scholars curriculum also reflects the admission requirements of the most competitive universities in the United States of America. 2. The Little Rock Scholars curriculum requires the successful completion of a minimum of eight Pre-Advanced Placement or Advanced Placement cou rses over a four-year period. Hall High School students may take University Studies courses as substitutes for Pre-Advanced Placement and/or Advanced Placement courses.

Participation in Graduation Ceremony In order to be a participant in the graduation ceremony, the student must be within one unit of completing the graduation requirements and must have paid the tuition for the one-half or one unit to be taken in summer school (or, alternately, in another approved credit-earning program). All high school students and their parents will be informed in writing of this expectation when course lists and graduation requirements are published for the spring registration process. Principals will make a determination of potential graduates at the end of the junior year and each quarter of the students' senior year and inform students and their parents immediately if it is determined that the student is in danger of not graduating. Such students will be advised of all the appropriate credit-earning options, including, but not limited to, evening high school, summer programs, credit recovery, correspondence courses, online courses, credit-by-examination, and placement at the Accelerated Learning Center. Award of Diploma The award of the high school diploma will not be made until all graduation requirements are met. 4 ~)> CD m c:

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: US Department of Education - grant submission: Teaching American History BACKGROUND: The District proposes to submit a Teaching American History grant application to implement high-quality professional development for all American history teachers. The purpose of the program is to raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional American history. By helping teachers to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of traditional American history as a separate subject matter within the core curriculum, the program will improve instruction and raise student achievement. The District will partner with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Department of History, National History Day, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the Clinton Library, and the Central High National Historic Museum. RATIONALE: This proposal will build upon the 2002 Teaching American History initiative which expired in 2005. This application will provide opportunities for teachers to continue to refine and hone their pedagogical skills and knowledge of American history content. FUNDING: $1,000,000 RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends approval for the submission of the grant application.

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Arkansas Facilities Master Plan BACKGROUND: The Arkansas 85th General Assembly in 2005 adopted Act 1426 which established the Arkansas Public School Academic Facilities Program. Among the provisions of the program is a requirement for each school district in the state to submit to the Arkansas Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation by February 1, 2006, a ten-year facilities master plan. The master plan identifies all of the school improvement projects a district is planning to undertake over the next ten years. According to the Facilities Division, the purpose of the master planning process is to: Establish a mechanism for state supervision of school district activities impacting facilities and equipment
Develop and continually update information critical to identifying academic facilities needs at the local level and across the state
and to Allow the state to manage financial participation in eligible academic facilities projects. The stated goal of the state's academic facilities program master planning process is to ensure that school improvements bring school facilities to a level where only routine maintenance is required within the ten-year period of the master plan. Accordingly, the state commissioned a survey of academic facilities to assess the condition of each building owned by a district. The survey results, which were released in 2004, produced a comprehensive list of facility improvement projects for each district. In preparing its ten-year master plan, each school district is directed to draw from the improvement list prepared by the state survey. Unlike most school districts in Arkansas, the Little Rock School District is not eligible to receive any state funding for capital school construction. Consequently, the district commissioned a facility improvement study of its own in 1995 which led to the development of a school capital projects list. A public referendum in 2000 approved a millage increase that dedicated $115 million to capital construction projects on the district list. The master plan scheduled for submission to the state on February 1, 2006, >< ,><- ~ m >:I: 0~ '-0 0-< c:m s1m :i:::i:: m~ Z

RATIONALE: The ten-year master plan is required by state law under the Arkansas Public School Academic _Facilities Program and must be approved by the district school board prior to submittal. Because 2006 is the first year for submitting a master plan, the state is requiring districts to identify only projects scheduled for 2006 to 2009 in the February 1, 2006 plan. Projects scheduled for the final seven years of the ten-year planning period are to be submitted February 1, 2007.
