-Two grants totaling $95,000 are given to LRSD schools for innovative programs that target student achievement, parent and communihJ involvement, and teacher quality. The Public Education Foundation of Little Rock is a unique non-profit organization dedicated to enriching and improving student achievement in the Little Rock Public School District. On Wednesday, April 2, 2003, the Public Education Foundation of Little Rock will provide 32 grants, totaling $95,000, involving over 71 teachers and reaching 24 schools within the Little Rock School District. In SWEEPSTAKES award style
the Public Education Foundation Board of Directors, Public Education Foundation Donors, Little Rock City Board Members, Little Rock School Board Members, along with community volunteers
will surprise teachers in the Little Rock School District by presenting them with grant awards. Each grant funded must target student achievement, parent involvement or teacher quality programs. "We think surprising the teachers is a great way to announce grants and celebrate the success of the Foundation at the same time. The Public Education Foundation provides an avenue of giving and a way to help public schools that did not exist in Little Rock before. These grants represent creative, instructionally focused ideas that would not have been possible before. And because of families, community organizations and corporations like Entergy Arkansas, Fifty for the Future, the Winthrop Rockefeller Family, Riggs Family Trust, CDI Constriction, Inc., Education America, and Metropolitan Bank we are able to make a direct impact in these schools," said Vicki Saviers, Executive Director of the Public Education Foundation.

The Foundation received a total of 93 applications and felt that getting that number of project requests was truly reflective of the tremendous energy and creativity found within the Little Rock School District teaching community. Although we were unable to fund all of those requests we hope those that were not funded at this time will not be discouraged. There were many wonderful projects and we look forward to seeing new requests when applications are accepted in the fall of 2003. Congratulations to all involved and we want to thank everyone that participated. We look forward to working with you in the coming year. To those receiving approved grants please send an updated implementation date to Lisa Black at lblack@fortheschools.org so that we can take your projects to the next step.

Kenneth James, Superintendent of Schools To Consider Moving to a Varsity and Junior Varsity Athletic Program Background Information: Earlier this year, Mr. Johnny Johnson brought forth a recommendation to move to a Varsity/Junior Varsity athletic program in the LRSD. The rationale for this request is the number of actual participants at the 9th grade level. I have attached a report indicating the level of recent 9th grade ~articipation in football, volleyball, basketball, and track. The report reflects that 9 h grade participation has fluctuated from year to year and campus to campus. During this past season, only one high school (Central) was able to field three teams. Representatives from the Arkansas Activities Association have indicated that it would not be a problem for the LRSD to implement the Varsity/Junior Varsity approach. In this format, coaches would still have the option to schedule sophomore games if they have sufficient players to do so. The ninth grade student-athletes would also be able to play in the sophomore games. All Varsity coaches and secondary principals overwhelmingly support the proposal as submitted. Fiscal Impact: There will be minimal financial savings as a result of moving to this concept. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve the request to move to a Varsity/Junior Varsity concept for the 2003-2004 school year. ,i!.:.S. >< >,... O:r 5~ C:

To: From: Re: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT II\ ATHLETIC DIRECTOR-SECONDARY SCHOOLS ii\ February 12, 2003 Dr. Ken James, Superintendent ofLRSD Johnny Johnson, Director of Athletics Ninth Grade Athletic Proposal The information below shows the number of ninth grade students participating in the sports of football, volleyball, basketball, and track for the school years of 2001-02 and 2002-03. These numbers can be a bit misleading because they are the numbers of students that began the season and not the numbers of students that finished the season. One fact that is not misleading is the number of ninth grade girls participating in sports. This is one major reason why I believe going to a varsity-junior varsity program will benefit our athletic program. 2001-02 9th Grade Participation Football Volleyball Basketball (Bs) Basketball (Gs) Track (Bs) Track (Gs) Fair 38 5 11 15 1 2 Central 47 13 21 15 0 1 Parkview 20 8 17 9 5 6 McClellan 32 0 13 3 12 0 Hall 31 4 16 4 (NIA) 12 2002-03 9th Grade Participation Football Volleyball Basketball (Bs) Basketball (Gs) Track (Bs) Track (Gs) Fair 31 6 18 18 Central 46 13 18 19 Parkview 24 5 16 8 McClellan 25 3 12 4 Hall 22 5 15 9 The number of ninth graders fluctuates from year to year. Parkview could not play a ninth grade football schedule in 2001. Hall could not play a ninth grade schedule this past year. In both cases, the main reason was not enough players. Both schools could have played a junior varsity schedule if they would have been allowed to move their ninth graders up to junior varsity. Attrition plays a major role in this proposal. In 2001 , Central had a large class ofninth graders, but could not field a junior varsity team because of lack of sophomores and juniors. The past year, Central had only eight seniors on the football team. With a varsity-junior varsity program, 3615 West 25th Street*Little Rock, AR 72204*(501 )447-2060 there will not be a school that would not be able to field two quality teams. This past football season, Central was the only school to be able to field three teams. The AAA has said that they do not have a problem with the LRSD not designating ninth grade athletics for the AAAAA high schools. I really believe this proposal will strengthen our athletic program, especially for women's athletics. One final point to bring up is that coaches would still have the option to schedule sophomore games if they had a large group of athletes. The ninth graders would be able to play in the sophomore games. I hope you will continue to look closely at this proposal. I really believe it will benefit our coaches and athletes. Attached is a copy of Parkview's 9th grade participation for the last three years. ~ :- >< > :-- 0 :c :s ! <=
