C-54 INTRODUCTION The Office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM), an arm of the United States District Court, prepared this report. ODM ass~ts the Court in monitoring the compliance of the three Pulaski County school districts with court orders and the desegregation plans that form the substance of their settlement agreements. Purpose, Scope, and Background For several years, ODM has published an annual report on the enrollment and racial balance of the schools in the three Pulaski County districts. However, due to circumstances explained below, this year for the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) alone have we assessed enrollment and racial balance in relation to the racial balance guidelines found in the desegregation plans. 1 Nevertheless, we again list the student enrollment and racial balance of the schools in all three districts in this year's report, because enrollment and racial balance affect the districts' participation in the two programs that promote interdistrict student transfers: the magnet schools and the M-to-M (majority-to-minority) interdistrict transfer program. In an Order dated September 18, 1995, the District Court withdrew its monitoring and supervision of the North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) in the area of student assignments. As a result, our findings do not include an assessment of enrollment or racial balance in NLRSD schools in relation to any type of desegregation plan guidelines. However, NLRSD's participation in the interdistrict magnet school and M-to-M transfer programs is affected by its enrollment and racial balance: therefore, we have included NLRSD enrollment and racial balance data in the School Enrollment Charts section. On December 6, 1996, the Little Rock School District (LRSD) petitioned the District Court to seek a respite from court monitoring while the district worked on modifications to its desegregation plan. On December 27, 1996, the Court granted LRSD's request for a monitoring moratorium. During that moratorium period, the district developed a revised desegregation and education plan and submitted it to the court in a filing dated September 26, 1997. In that same filing, the district asked that ODM continue to refrain from monitoring until after the Court ruled on the proposed new plan. In its Order of October 23, 1997, the District Court ruled that "the hiatus from ODM monitoring will continue until this Court rules on the LRSD motion ... " Therefore, our findings for 1997-98 do not include an assessment of enrollment or racial balance in LRSD schools. Yet, as with the NLRSD, the LRSD's participation in the interdistrict magnet and M-to-M programs is affected by its enrollment and racial balance, so we have included the LRSD enrollment and racial balance data in the section containing the School Enrollment Charts. Although this report focuses on the PCSSD and the 1997-98 school year, we have included enrollment information dating back to 1988-89, when the parties initially reached their settlement agreement. Looking at figures over the past ten academic years enables us to assess long-term trends 1While the six stipulation (original) magnet schools operate in the Little Rock School District, they serve students in all three districts
therefoce, we have included one chart showing that these schools meet the racial balance guidelines found in the Interdistrict Desegregation Plan. Page 1 and to draw some conclusions about what those trends indicate about enrollment and the balance of the races in individual schools, as well as the district as a whole. - The PCSSD Desegregation Plan recognizes only two racial designations, black students and white students. The plan includes provisions that set goals for balancing the enrollment of these two racial groups within each school Except for interdistrict schools, which have plan-specified guidelines that are static, these goals are based on the percentage of black students enrolled districtwide by organizational levels. Every year racial balance is assessed for each school based on the district's racial balance at each organization level for that year. The Interdistrict Desegregation Plan sets standards for racial balance at interdistrict schools that are different from those for other schools.2 Due to the unique standards set for these types of schools, this report examines interdistrict schools in a separate section. Racial Balance Calculations The PCSSD Desegregation Plan includes guidelines that set racial balance goals for individual schools. The plan set 20% as the minimum black enrollment for PCSSD schools. The maximum black enrollment at all organizational levels is based on a variance of 25% from the annual percentage of black enrollment at each of the two organizational levels (elementary and secondary). Using these guidelines, we derived a mathematical formula to calculate the targeted maximum percentage for black enrollment at PCSSD schools: For example, for the 1997-98 school year, the PCSSD has a districtwide elementary student population that is 33% black. The allowable variance in racial balance is calculated by multiplying that 33% by 25% (.33 X. 25 = .0825), then adding the product (rounded to 8%) to the total elementary black proportion of 33% (33% + 8% = 41 % ) to establish the maximum black enrollment of 41 % in elementary schools. The type of mathematical operation outlined above can be used to calculate the maximum range of racial balance targeted for each PCSSD school (unless the range is defined by specific plan provisions, such as those governing the interdistrict schools). It is important to remember that the calculations used to define the maximum are based on the percentage of black enrollment, an understanding that the parties reached among themselves. If the enrollment figures for any other racial group are substituted for the black percentage, the results will incorrectly define the target range. Because the plan-prescribed formula used to calculate the targeted racial balance is tied to the district's black enrollment for that particular year, it is not possible to uniformly compare racial balance compliance from year to year without linking a given year's enrollment to that year's acceptable range. Since the target range for racial balance may vary somewhat from one year to the next as districtwide black enrollment fluctuates, it is possible that, due to a change in the district's overall racial balance, a school that was out of compliance one year could have an identical enrollment the following year and yet be within an acceptable range. 2Clinton and Crystal Hill in the PCSSD are called magnet schools, but the desegregation plans provide for them to operate as interdistrict schools. Regardless of whether or not they carry a magnet designation, all interdistrict schools are required to meet the plan-prescribed racial balance guidelines for interdistrict schools. Page 2 As previously noted, the racial balance goals for some PCSSD schools are not determined by any type of formula or plan-prescribed floor. The Interdistrict Desegregation Plan sets specific minimum and maximum racial balance guidelines for all interdistrict schools. Although the desegregation plan specifies a minimum black enrollment for PCSSD schools, certain provisions of an agreement among the parties (called the Joshua Agreement) can possibly raise the PCSSD minimum and potentially alter the maximum as well. Information Sources October I student enrollment figures for the last nine years fonn the basis for this report. The Arkansas Department of Education requires school districts to file a report each fall that reflects the number of children enrolled on October 1 (or the school day closest to that date). Although the enrollment at any school may fluctuate somewhat during the academic year, the October 1 figures remain the basic student tally for each school. In order to make uniform year-to-year comparisons, we have generated enrollment charts that are based on the reported October 1 data. The school districts furnished all the data upon which we based this report. The accuracy and completeness of our figures depend on the reliability of the infonnation reported by each district. Throughout this document, we have rounded all percentages to the nearest whole number. Although the desegregation plans deal only with two racial designations (black students and white students), the districts provided statistical information about students who are of racial or ethnic groups other than black and white (such as Asian or Hispanic). The enrollment charts count these children in a separate category designated as "other." However, these students of other races are counted along with the white students in statistical totals and comparisons in order for the report to remain consistent with the two racial categories identified in the desegregation plans. Report Organization 1bis report is divided into three sections. The first section includes the relevant desegregation plan provisions and our findings regarding the extent to which the PCSSD is meeting those requirements. Each plan provision has been summarized and referenced to its source by page number in the April 1992 PCSSD Desegregation Plan (PCSSD Plan) or the April 1992 Interdistrict Plan (Interdis. Plan). We have also made reference to a document, called the Joshua Agreement, which is among the agreements the parties have reached. Our findings deal with both the enrollment and racial balance of the PCSSD schools. Since the racial balance at each school is a product of its enrollment, the findings on enrollment precede those on racial proportions. The second section contains a summary of the findings and our conclusions about them. The third section, School Enrollment Charts, consists of a series of charts that depict enrollment data. Some of the charted statistical information is further subdivided into school organizational levels. As we assembled the information for this report we encountered data dealing with school capacities and schools that have specialty or early childhood programs, which are features designed to promote desegregation. While such infonnation does not relate directly to the purpose of our report, we Page 3 believe these figures are enlightening. Therefore, we have included charts that depict specialized enrollment data and charts that compare each school's capacity to its enrollment. - The charts in the section reflect the ten-year history of enrollment and racial balance at each school. As explained earlier, neither the NLRSD nor the LRSD are currently subject to monitoring in the area of student assignments: however, the School Enrollment Charts section organizes enrollment data from these two districts because enrollment and racial balance in all the districts remains a factor in interdistrict student transfers. We organized the charts by district, grouping the information that pertains to a single district. The last section ends with graphs that display interdistrict and countywide enrollment by race. Page 4 PLAN PROVISIONS AND FINDINGS PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Elementary Schools (Corresponding charts are on pages C-28 through C-31 .) Plan Provisions PCSSD schools are to strive for a minimum black enrollment of 20%. Bayou Meto Elementary school is exempt due to its remote location. (PCSSD Plan, pg. 72) The goal of the plan is to achieve a minimum black student enrollment of 20% by the end of six years in all PCSSD schools. By the end of the implementation period, all PCS SD schools should be within the range of plus or minus 25% of the then prevailing districtwide average of blacks by organizational level. (PCSSD Plan, pg. 84, incorporating the Joshua Agreement, page 9) Enrollment Findings The 1997-98 elementary enrollment of 10,832 is the lowest number recorded for the PCSSD in ten years. Between 1996-97 and 1997-98, the PCS SD has lost 445 ( 4%) of its elementary students. 3 - The number of black elementary students has declined by 72 (2% ). - The number of white elementary students has decreased by 373 (5% ). Between 1996-97 and 1997-98, 16 of the 25 elementary schools experienced a decrease in their total enrollment: Adkins has lost 29 students (9%)
Baker 2 (1%)
Bayou Meto 14 (2%): Cato 13 (2%): College Station 34 (11 %)
Crystal Hill 29 (4%)
Dupree 68 (16%)
Harris 27 (9%)
Jacksonville 139 (19%)
Landmark 42 (8%)
Lawson 13 (4%)
Pinewood 83 (15%)
Scott 10 (8%)
Sherwood 35 (8%)
Sylvan Hills 9 (2%)
and Tolleson 36 (7%). At Adkins, Bayou Meto, Dupree, Harris, Jacksonville Elemen.tary, and Pinewood, the enrollment decline was at least partly due to the relocation of sixth graders to Jacksonville Middle School, a change which occurred during the grade-level reorganization that involved those schools for 1997-98. (See footnote 3.) Between 1996-97 and 1997-98, nine PCSSD elementary schools have shown enrollment increases: Arnold Drive has grown by 10 students (3%)
Bates 2 (less than .5%)
Clinton 8 (1%)
Fuller 18 (5%)
Oak Grove 10 (2%)
Oakbrooke 15 (3%)
Pine Forest 34 (7%)
Robinson 21 (5%)
and Taylor 20 (5%). 3Some of the decrease in elementary enrollment that occurred between 1996-97 and 1997-98 was due to the district's reorganizatioo of the Jacksooville junior highs. Jacksooville Junior High South (which previously held grades 7-9) was recoofigured to house grades 8 and 9
Jacksooville Junior High North (which also previously held grades 7-9) was renamed Jacksooville Middle School and began serving grades 6 and 7. Sixth graders were moved from Adkins, Bayou Meto, Dupree, Harris, Jacksonville Elementary, Pinewood, and Taylor to Jacksonville Middle School. This movement resulted in a population shift from the elementary level to the secondary level because some sixth graders, who had previously been counted as elementary students, were counted as secondary students beginning in 1997-98. According to the district, Jacksonville Middle School had 351 sixth graders in 1997-98. Calculations show that the 351 students that were moved out of the elementary school category for 1997-98 account for 79% of the 445- student decline in elementary population from the previous year. Page 5 Since 1988-89, the district has lost 1,421 (12%) of its elementary students. - Significant losses have occurred at 17 schools: Adkins lost l03 students (279c ): Bates 277 (37%): Cato 105 (17%): Dupree 118 (24%): Fuller 217 (36%): Hanis 411 (60%): Jacksonville 207 (26%): Landmark 165 (26%): Lawson 75 (21 %)
Oak Grove 124 (22%): Oakbrooke 193 (29%): Pine Forest 106 (18%): Pinewood 217 (32%): Robinson 71 (15%): Scott 96 (45%)
Sherwood 185 (33%): and Sylvan Hills 323 (44%). - Two schools have shown less significant enrollment declines: Taylor lost 24 students (5%) and Tolleson lost 47 (9%). Enrollment has risen in four schools since 1988-89: College Station has shown a significant increase of lO 1 students (54% ). The other three schools have much smaller increases: Arnold Drive added 20 students (5%), Baker lO (3%), and Bayou Meto 16 (3%). Racial Balance Findings To detennine the upper end of the target range for racial balance in the PCSSD elementary schools, we used a mathematical formula based on the desegregation plan and the Joshua Agreement. The 1997-98 enrollment in PCSSD elementary schools is 33% black. Using that figure as the basis for calculations. the maximum black percentage at any PCSSD elementary school this year should be 41 %. Since the desegregation plan specifies 20% black enrollment as the minimum for all schools, the racial balance range for 1997-98 is 20% to 41% black. In 1997-98, ten of the 25 PCSSD elementary schools (including the three interdistrict schools) have fallen outside the target for racial balance, which is two more than the eight elementary schools that failed to meet the racial balance goals last year. The enrollment at Baker (an interdistrict school which has a minimum goal of 40% black enrollment) is 21 % black, which is 19 percentage points below the minimum for interdistrict schools. During the last ten years, Baker has never come close to achieving the minimum goal
moreover, progress toward that goal has continually declined for the last three years. At 14% black in 1997-98, Lawson has fallen well below the minimum goal of 20% black. Since last year, Lawson has dropped two additional percentage points away from the minimum
since 1994-95 (the one year Lawson was within the range), it has fallen nine percentage points. This year, Pine Forest (which had been within range the last two years) is below the minimum guideline. The school has failed to meet the minimum target for black enrollment for six of the last ten years. Of the seven elementary schools that exceed the maximum range of 41 % black enrollment, four are located in the southeast sector of the PCSSD and three are located north of the Arkansas River. - Although within range last year, College Station, at 43% black, is above the targeted range. The school has been above the maximum range for eight of the last ten years. - Although within range for the last five years, Scott, at 43% black, moved above the targeted range this year. The school has been above the range for four of the last ten years. - Bates, Fuller, and Landmark have all been outside the target range for the last ten years. This year, Bates exceeds the target range by 15 percentage points, Fuller by 19 points, and Landmark by 4 points. Since 1996-97, enrollment at each of these schools has moved farther above the target range. - At 53% black, Harris, which has exceeded the target for black enrollment for the seventh consecutive year, is 12 percentage points above the goal. Page 6 - At 46% black, which is five percentage points above the goal and four points higher than last year, Jacksonville continues to exceed the target range. This is the third consecutive year that the school has missed the target range. Although above the targeted range last year, Taylor is within the range this year. Secondary Schools (Corresponding charts are on pages C-31 through C-32.) Plan Provisions PCSSD schools are to strive for a minimum black enrollment of 20%. Bayou Meto Elementary school is exempt due to its remote location. (PCSSD Plan, pg. 72) The goal of the plan is to achieve a minimum black student enrollment of 20% by the end of six years in all PCSSD schools. By the end of the implementation period, all PCS SD schools should be within the range of plus or minus 25% of the then prevailing districtwide average of blacks by organizational level (PCSSD Plan, pg. 84, incorporating the Joshua Agreement, page 9) Enrollment Findings In 1997-98, for the third consecutive year, PCSSD's total secondary enrollment has increased over the pervious year. The 1997-98 enrollment of9,192 has risen by 2%, or 174 students (13 black and 161 white), over the number recorded in 1996-97.4 Six of the twelve secondary schools have posted enrollment increases between 1996-97 and 1997- 98: Fuller Junior, Jacksonville Middle (previously Jacksonville South), Jacksonville Junior (previously Jacksonville North), Jacksonville High, North Pulaski High, and Robinson Junior. - The largest increases occurred at Jacksonville Junior (246 students or 47%) and at Jacksonville Middle (88 students or 13%) and are due to the reorganization of the Jacksonville junior high schools. (See footnote 4.) - All other increases in student enrollment were much more modest: Fuller Junior High (18 students or 2%)
Jacksonville High (1 student)
North Pulaski High (34 students or 4%)
and Robinson Junior High (24 students or 6%). 4Some of the increase in secondary enrollment that occurred between 1996-97 and 1997-98 was due to the district's reorganizatioo of the Jacksonvillejunioc highs. Jacksooville Junior High South (which previously held grades 7-9) was recoofigured to hoose grades 8 and 9
Jacksonville Junior High North (which also previously held grades 7-9) was renamed Jacksooville Middle School and began serving grades 6 and 7. Sixth graders were moved from Adkins, Bayou Meto, Dupree, Harris, Jacksonville Elementary, Pinewood, and Taylor to Jacksonville Middle School. This movement resulted in a population shift from the elementary level to the secondary level because some sixth graders, who bad previously been counted as elementary students, were counted as secondary students beginning in 1997-98. Acccrding to the district. Jacksonville Middle School bas 351 sixth graders in 1997-98. While calculations show that moving those 351 sixth graders into a secondary school category for 1997-98 increased the secondary count by 174 students, enrollment in the secondary level actually deaeased, when thooe students are subtracted, by 177 students from the previous year. Page 7 Between 1996-97 and 1997-98, five schools have shown a decrease in overall enrollment: Mills High (-70 or 8%)
Northwood Junior High (-87 or 9%): Oak Grove Junior and Senior High (-39 or 4%)
Robinson High (-16 or 4%)
and Sylvan Hills High (-25 or 3%). - The 70 student decline at Mills this year nearly offsets the enrollment gain of 84 students recorded in 1996-97. - Since 1995-96, Northwood Junior High has lost 152 students (15%). - The current enrollment of 785 at Sylvan Hills High School is a ten-year low. Between 1988-89 and 1997-98, enrollment has fallen in nine of the twelve secondary schools: Northwood, Robinson, and Sylvan Hills Junior Highs
Oak Grove Junior and Senior High: and Jacksonville, Mills, North Pulaski, Robinson, and Sylvan Hills High Schools. Racial Balance Findings In order to determine the upper end of the target range for racial balance in the PCS SD secondary schools, we used a mathematical formula based on the desegregation plan and the Joshua Agreement. The 1997-98 enrollment in the PCSSD secondary schools is 32% black. Using that figure as the basis for calculations, the maximum black percentage at any PCSSD secondary school this year should be 40%. Since the desegregation plan specifies 20% as the minimum black enrollment for all schools, the racial balance range for 1997-98 is 20% to 40% black. Both Fuller Junior High and Mills High have remained above the target range for each of the last ten years. At 44% black, Fuller Junior High is four points beyond the maximum target
and Mills, at 48% black, is eight points beyond the maximum goal. - The percentage of black students attending Fuller Junior High has remained fairly stable during the last ten years, ranging from 43% in 1993-94 to 49% in 1995-96. - The racial balance at Mills High has been constant at 48% black over the last five academic years, although the enrollment has increased by 34% during that same time period. No PCSSD secondary schools have fallen below the minimum of 20% black enrollment during the past seven years. In 1988-89, five secondary schools had student populations that were less than 20% black. Schools with Specialty Programs (A corresponding chart is on page C-37) As early as 1988-89 in some schools, the PCSSD began offering specialty programs as a means for promoting voluntary desegregation. Eight schools have offered some type of specialty program, and some schools offer multiple programs. Schools which have (or once had) specialty programs are Bates, College Station, Fuller, and Landmark Elementary Schools
Fuller Junior High School
and Jacksonville, Mills, and Sylvan Hills High Schools. At the end of 1994-95, the PCSSD discontinued the Math and Science Together (MAST) specialty program it had offered at Bates. Since dropping MAST, the district has not instituted any other specialty program at Bates. Plan Provision In an attempt to further promote desegregation within PCSSD, the district continues to explore the implementation of certain intradistrict specialty programs. (PCSSD Plan, pg. 82) Page 8 Enrollment Findings Six of the eight PCSSD schools that offer (or have offered) specialty programs have experienced a slide in total enrollment since the school began a specialty program. - Between 1990-91 (the year the specialty program began) and 1997-98, Bates' enrollment has shrunk by 172 students (27% ). Bates began experiencing a significant decrease in enrollment in 1992-93 and suffered a 12% decline in 1993-94 and another 12% drop after the school's specialty program was discontinued at the close of 1994-95. - Between 1988-89 (the year the specialty program began) and 1997-98, Fuller Elementary's enrollment has decreased by 217 students (36% ). - Landmark's enrollment has declined by 104 students (18%) between 1990-91 (the year the specialty program began) and 1997-98. The 1997-98 enrollment is presently the lowest recorded in the last ten years. - Jacksonville High has lost 207 students (17%) between 1988-89 (the year the specialty program began) and 1997-98. Mills' enrollment has decreased by 19 students (2%) between 1988-89 (the year the specialty program began) and 1997-98. However, in 1994-95 the district added two more specialty programs and enrollment began to climb. Between 1993-94 (the year before the addition of the two specialty programs) and 1997-98, enrollment has increased by 195 students (34% ). Nevertheless, the current enrollment of 766 represents a loss of 70 students since last school year. - Enrollment at Sylvan Hills High has decreased by 116 students (13%) between 1991-92 (the year the specialty program began) and 1997-98. The current enrollment of 785 is the lowest number recorded in the past ten years. Enrollment at College Station was 188 students in 1988-89: however, that number jumped 29% (54 students) when the specialty programs were added in 1989-90. Enrollment continued to increase through 1992-93, and has fluctuated each year since. The current enrollment of 289 is near the average enrollment over the last ten years. With the exception of 1990-91, enrollment at Fuller Junior increased between 1988-89 and 1993- 94. For the next three years (1994-95 through 1996-97), enrollment declined. In 1997-98 enrollment has risen for the first time in four years. The current enrollment of 861 represents an increase of 18 students since 1996-97 and 34 more students than were recorded in 1988-89. Racial Balance Findings In 1997-98, six of the eight schools that have offered specialty programs exceed the target range for black enrollment
only Jacksonville High and Sylvan Hills High are within the range. Bates, Fuller Elementary, Landmark, Fuller Junior High, and Mills have exceeded the target range for ten consecutive years. Fuller Elementary, which has an enrollment that is 60% black, falls furthest from the district's target range for racial balance. Bates, which has 56% black students, remains far from the district's goal for racial balance. Despite the racial imbalance and the constantly shrinking enrollment, the district has not put in place a new specialty program to replace MAST, which was dropped after 1994-95. At 43% black, College Station falls just outside the target range. Although the school has met the goal for racial balance only twice within the last ten years (one of which was last year), since the addition of the specialty program, racial balance at the school has remained close to the target. Page 9 While both remain outside the target range for racial balance, the racial ratios at Fuller Junior High and Mills High have remained fairly stable. - Mills has a student population that has held steady at 48% black for the last five years. - Fuller Junior High's current enrollment is 44'k black, which is one percentage point lower than that recorded in 1988-89. Sylvan Hills High, which once had an enrollment with less than 20'k black students, has been within the target range for the last eight years. - The district's addition of two specialty programs in 1991-92 had no immediate effect on Sylvan Hills' racial balance. However, since 1993-94 (when the Teachers of Tomorrow clubs grew into the Teachers of Tomorrow Academy, a full-fledged academic program with specialized courses) Sylvan Hills High has moved closer to the districtwide average for black and white enrollment. INTERDISTRICT SCHOOLS (Corresponding charts are on page C-50 through C-51) Three elementary interdistrict schools are located in the PCSSD: Baker. Clinton. and Crystal Hill. Clinton (which opened for 1994-95) and Crystal Hill (which opened for 1992-93) lrere built expressly to serve as interdistrict schools. Baker was designated as an interdistrict school in 1989- 90
before that designation, it did not offer any special themes or enhancements. The interdistrict schools were designed to promote desegregation by attracting M-to-M ( majorityto- minority) interdistrict transfer students. The Settlement Agreement provides that when a student transfers from a district in which his race is in the majority to a district in which his race is in the minority, the State of Arkansas v..ill reimburse the receiving district for the cost of educating the Mto- M transfer student. The state also provides a financial incentive to the sending district and pays for all costs associated v..ith transporting M-to-M students. While each of the interdistrict schools draws students from a nearby attendance zone, the district must recruit M-to-M students along with intradistrict transfer students to provide racial balance and to help fill the schools to capacity. School capacity is a product of calculations based on a number of factors such as school size, the number of classrooms, recommended class sizes, and the types of courses offered. Plan Provisions The districts will establish interdistrict schools with a ratio of between 60 percent and 40 percent of either race with the ideal goal to be 50 percent black and 50 percent white. (Interdis. Plan, pg. 3) Enrollment Findings Baker's student population has remained stable over the last three years, varying from last year's enrollment by only two fewer students. Increasing by eight students this year, enrollment at Clinton continues a three-year increase. Enrollment at Crystal Hill continues a three-year decline with the loss of 29 students in 1997-98. Page 10 Current enrollment levels at the PCSSD interdistrict elementary schools are high but not at capacity: - Baker, which is filled to 96% of capacity, has only 14 empty seats. - Clinton is filled to 90% of capacity and has 86 seats available. - Crystal Hill is at 91 % of capacity and has 71 unfilled seats. Collectively, the PCSSD interdistrict schools have 171 empty seats this year, while last year the number of seats available at these schools was 113. Thus, the PCSSD interdistrict schools have 58 more empty seats than they did last year. Racial Balance Findings Baker is the only PCSSD interdistrict school ever to fall below the minimum target of 40% black enrollment. - Since 1995-96, Baker's black population has steadily dropped, from 27% to 24% to 21 % . - In its nine years as an interdistrict school, Baker has never come close to meeting the minimum goal for black enrollment and currently has the lowest percentage of black students since it became an interdistrict school in 1989-90. Each year since their openings, Clinton and Crystal Hill have conformed to the racial balance goals. - This year, both schools are within one percentage point of the ideal racial balance for an interdistrict enrollment, which the Interdistrict Plan designates as 50% black and 50% white. All PCSSD Schools (Corresponding charts are on pages C-33 and C-39.) The findings below pertain to the total districtwide enrollment in the PCSSD from 1988-89 to 1997- 98. PCSSD's total 1997-98 enrollment of20,024 is the lowest recorded in the last ten years. Between 1996-97 and 1997-98, the total PCSSD black enrollment decreased by 59 (1 %) and the white enrollment decreased by 212 students (2%) for a total loss of 271 students ( 1 % ). Although black enrollment has decreased since last year, it has risen by 1,082 students (20%) since 1988-89
during that same time period, the number of white students has dropped by 2,929 (18% ), for a districtwide net loss of 1,847 students (8%) over the last ten years. The proportion of the district's enrollment comprised of black students has increased from 25% in 1988-89 to 33% in 1997-98. The total 1997-98 enrollment of the PCSSD constitutes only 83% of the district's total school capacity. Page 11 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The PCSSD Desegregation Plan and the Interdistrict Plan set goals and guidelines for the racial balance of student enrollment in the individual schools. While these targets are not rigid quotas, the district nevertheless agreed to strive to meet these self-imposed goals. Guidelines for maximum black enrollment in all PCSSD schools, except the three interdistrict schools, are based on a mathematical formula that adjusts some of the enrollment requirements as the racial make-up of the student population shifts from year to year. Over the last ten years, the proportion of total PCSSD enrollment comprised by black students has grown steadily as black students have entered the district and white students have left it. While the adjustable upper range for racial balance allows the majority of PCSSD schools to meet the racial balance goals set in the desegregation plans, the district has several schools that lack sufficient black population for true desegregation. The PCSSD Desegregation Plan and the Joshua Agreement set 20% as the absolute minimum for black enrollment This year, Lawson and Pine Forest elementaries (in addition to Bayou Meta, which is exempt from the 20% target) fall short of that goal Several other PCSSD elementary schools have enrollments that perennially hover near the minimum for racial balance. Baker, one of the district's three interdistrict schools, has a current enrollment that is only 21 % black. This figure sharply contrasts with the 40% minimum black enrollment that is targeted for all interdistrict schools. In its nine years as an interdistrict school Baker has never come close to meeting the minimum goal for black enrollment As a matter of fact, this year the enrollment at Baker is perilously close to slipping below the 20% minimum set by the plan for all PCSSD schools. Nine PCSSD schools are beyond the targeted maximum for black enrollment: College Station, Scott, Bates, Fuller, Landmark, Harris, and Jacksonville Elementary Schools
Fuller Junior High
and Mills High. Five of these nine schools have exceeded the target range for the last ten years: Bates, Fuller, and Landmark Elementary Schools
Fuller Junior High School
and Mills High School While the majority of the district's schools fall within the plan-prescribed guidelines, the PCSSD has made little progress in addressing those schools that have persistent racial imbalance in their enrollments. In addition to achieving the desired balance at each school, the district must also be concerned with maintaining or increasing the total number of students attending its schools. The number of students enrolled determines the amount of state funding received and also affects many other areas of school and district operations, such as staffing levels and course offerings. Also, enrollment is often used as a barometer of community support for a school or the school district as a whole. If a particular school is losing students, it could indicate a decline in the level of community satisfaction with that school. By the same token, if total school district enrollment is falling, most observers would conclude that support for the local public schools is eroding. A serious issue facing the PCSSD is its continued loss of students. The reorganization of the Jacksonville junior high schools, which resulted in moving many sixth graders from the elementary roster to the secondary roll, makes enrollment comparisons between 1996-97 and 1997-98 a little less exact. Nevertheless, it is clear that the district has lost students at both the elementary and secondary level. Page 12 The economic impact of enrolling M-to-M students can be considerable. While the PCSSD interdistrict schools are filled to 91 % of their capacity, the schools have 171 empty seats. If all the seats at the interdistrict schools that were available for transfer students could be filled with M-to-M students, both the sending and the receiving district would receive significant financial gains. In 1995-96, the PCSSD registered a slight increase in enrollment, and it appeared that the district might have turned the tide of declining enrollment. But a substantial downturn in student population in 1996-97 was followed by more losses in 1997-98. The district's current enrollment represents a ten-year low. If enrollment continues to fall, the district will find itself confronted with perpetual financial shortfalls and the myriad of other difficulties that result from significantly declining enrollment. District leaders need to detennine the various causes underlying the loss of students and take steps to stanch the flow of children out of the district. The very financial and educational viability of the district is at stake. Page 13 SCHOOL ENROLLMENT CHARTS This section of the report is organized by school district in alphabetical order. The enrollment charts for each district are further divided by school organizational level: all elementary schools are grouped together as are junior high and senior high schools. Separate charts focusing on schools with special requirements (interdistrict schools and schools with specialty programs) are also included. Each district's enrollment grand total is the sum of all its schools at all organizational levels. Every district has some schools that are difficult to categorize. For example, the alternative schools, which seek to provide a learning environment specially structured to meet the needs of at-risk youth, do not fit in the category of specialty schools as defined by the desegregation plans. Thus we have grouped these schools with the non-specialty schools. This section of the report also includes some charts depicting specialized enrollment data (such as the four-year-old program) and school capacities. On the charts, we used color highlighting to mark the years that each school has been outside the racial balance guidelines as those guidelines would have been defined for that year. Blue highlighting irxlicates that the proportion of black students is above the maximum guideline in the desegregation plan: yellow highlighting indicates that the proportion of black students is below the minimum. No highlighting appears for the schools in NLRSD nor for the LRSD in the 1997-98 school year. Page 14 I I LRSD ..

Those schools shall be racially balanced to a point of between 50 percent and 55 percent black." At the time we prepared this report, the LRSD was operating under the terms of a monitoring moratorium, so for the 1997-98 school year, we did not assess the enrolhnent of LRSD schools in relation to racial balance guidelines. However, because the six stipulation (original) magnet schools located in the LRSD serve students from all three school districts in Pulaski County, we prepared the above graph to show that all six supulation magnets fall within the plan guidelines for racial balance.

yellow highlighting indicates that the proportion of black students is below the minimum. However, at the time we prepared this report, the LRSD was operating under the tenns of a monitoring moratorium
therefore, for the 1997-98 school I year, we did not assess the enrollment of LRSD schools in relation to racial balance guidelines. Page C-20 LRSD AREA SCHOOLS* Ten Year Enrollment Comparison 20.000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 --'==:::

935 80 83 : 84 Beginning 'Mth the 1994-95 school year, the enrollment for Rockefeller includes the infants, one-year-olds, two-year-olds, and I three-year-olds. Before 1994-95, the LRSD included only children in the four-year-old-program through sixth grade in Rockefeller's October 1 enrollment report. Note: The blue and yellow highlighting in this section indicate that the school is outside the racial balance guidelines for the J year. Blue highlighting indicates that the proportion of black students is above the maximum guideline in the desegregation plan
yellow highlighting indicates that the proportion of black students is below the minimum. However, at the time we prepared this report, the LRSD was operating under the terms of a monitoring moratorium
therefore, for the 1997-98 school I year, we did not assess the enrollment of LRSD schools in relation to racial balance guidelines.
