Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: July 2005 Construction Report - Bond Projects BACKGROUND: The bids for Rightsell were received by LRSD on May 25, 2005. The low bidders for the remodeling and the abatement of Rightsell had given LRSD until July 25, 2005 to award the contracts without any changes to their bid prices. LRSD has made another request to the contractors to extend their bid prices through August 31 . The remediation contractor agreed with this date. The building contractor for the remodeling agreed to September 30. The remodeling of Fair Park has been ongoing since the last day of school. The remodeling consists of necessary interior changes to fit the new Pre-Kindergarten program. The schedule is very ambitious and the contractor is working almost non-stop toward a completion date of August 1. Changes are being made to the driveway and drop off areas. These changes are on schedule and should be completed by August 1. The remodeling of student restrooms at Forest Park is being done this summer. The contractor is working toward completion by August 1. The demolition of Cloverdale Elementary School will be completed in October 2005. RATIONALE: Monthly reports are submitted to the Board to keep members up-to-date on construction projects in the District. FUNDING: Bond Funds RECOMMENDATION: Report item

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Handbook for Parents of Pre-K Children Participating in the LRSD Early Childhood Program BACKGROUND: The Department of Early Childhood and Elementary Literacy convened a committee of early childhood teachers, principals, parents, and specialists to develop a Pre-K Parent Handbook. Several meetings were held to develop the content of the Handbook, and a draft version of the Handbook was sent to all LRSD Elementary Principals and Pre-K Teachers for their review. The attached handbook is the result of those efforts. RATIONALE: Currently the District does not have a formal district handbook regarding the preschool program. The purpose of the handbook will be to provide parents, teachers, and principals with clearly defined expectations regarding participation in the preschool (fouryear- old) program and policies and procedures for dealing with preschool issues. FUNDING: N/A RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt the Pre-K Parent Handbook as submitted. PREPARED BY: Krista Underwood, Director, Early Childhood !" n 0 ~ ~ n =l m n :c (/) m "<'

o Zn Cl m men en LETTER TO THE FAMILIES: WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Little Rock School District (LRSD) Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) Program! We understand the tremendous trust you are placing in us to educate your children. Our well-trained staff is committed to ensuring that your children receive the best early learning experiences in the safest, most caring environment possible. The philosophy of the Little Rock School District Pre-Kindergarten Program is the following: Every child deserves a safe, healthy, and secure environment. All children can be successful learners. The children, families, and school community should be treated with respect and honesty. Learning should be relevant, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate. Parents are a child's first and most important teacher. Cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork are essential to meeting the District's Pre-K goals. The Little Rock School District offers the highest quality pre-school education available. It is the goal of the district's early childhood program to help each child achieve his/her maximum potential through a variety of experiences designed to promote a positive self-concept. A qualified and experienced staff provides a warm and supportive atmosphere which assures each child that he or she is secure and accepted. Classrooms are designed to provide a cheerful, healthy learning environment for growing, active children. PROGRAM GOALS The Little Rock School District Pre-Kindergarten Program is not a child care program, but a program designed to increase the readiness of the children for kindergarten with the ultimate goal of ensuring children's success in school. The goal will be accomplished through the following activities: 1. Provide preschool students with high quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences designed to enhance kindergarten readiness. 2. Support parents in their role as a child's first and most important teacher by providing access to educational resources and information. 3. Ensure continuity and smooth transitions from home to early education and primary school. The learning environment of the Pre-Kindergarten Program is designed to provide students with a challenging, yet developmentally appropriate curriculum. The program components are aligned with the state standards adopted in the Arkansas Early Childhood Framework. Through the active learning process, children will construct their own knowledge
learn how to make decisions and plans
seek and organize information. The role of the teacher is to guide students in their construction of knowledge - challenging them to make predictions, try new approaches, and solve their own problems. Please help us achieve these goals by getting your child to school on time everyday!! 3 School Bale Baseline Brady Carver Chicot Cloverdale Dodd Fair Park Forest Park Franklin Fulbriqht Geyer Sorinas Jefferson King Mabelvale McDermott Meadowcliff Otter Creek Pulaski Heights Rightsell Rockefeller Romine Stephens Terrv Wakefield Washinaton Watson Western Hills Wilson Woodruff LIST OF PRE-KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS Address Principal 6501 32na St. Barbara Anderson 3623 Baseline Rd.

To apply for admission in a Pre-Kindergarten program, parents must contact the Little Rock School District Student Registration Office at 5th and Sherman (447-2950). If there is not an opening at the requested school, the child's name will be put on a waiting list. After receiving a notification letter of an opening, parents will need to follow the directives in the letter which will usually require notifying the Student Registration Office of acceptance or refusal of that PreKindergarten slot by an established deadline date. Upon acceptance, parents will visit the assigned school during student check-in and complete the necessary forms. The following is a list of the enrollment requirements: 1. A child must be 4 years of age on or before September 15th before entering the PreKindergarten Program. 2. In order for a child to attend class on the first day of Pre-Kindergarten, the school must have the following documents: a. Pupil Information Form b. Original Birth Certificate c. Social Security Number d. Health Screening Form (See explanation below.) e. Complete all required immunizations and provide records to the school nurse or school office. (See explanation below.) f. Permission for the child to receive emergency medical care at Arkansas Children's Hospital or a designated physician in case of an extreme medical emergency g. Information form designating persons who are allowed to pick up child from school h. Notarized custody declaration if applicable i. Updated physical or current physical The date used by the Little Rock School District for admittance to the Pre-Kindergarten Early Childhood Program is the same as that established by the State Department of Education for kindergarten eligibility. PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS AND IMMUNIZATIONS Little Rock School District Health Services require immunizations and physicals for students in the Pre-Kindergarten Program. It is mandatory that all students in the Pre-Kindergarten Program have a physical examination by their doctor or primary health care provider and submit the required Health Screening Form to the school office. In addition, Pre-K children must receive the required age-appropriate immunizations. Written proof of these immunizations must be presented before the child is admitted to school and each time the child receives additional immunizations. Children who have not met these requirements will not be allowed to attend school. Changes in immunizations must be reported to the office or school nurse. 5 THE PRE-K INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM Staffing. Every Pre-Kindergarten classroom is staffed with a certified early childhood education teacher and instructional assistant with Child Development Associate (CDA) Training. Classroom Size. Every Pre-Kindergarten classroom is limited to an enrollment of 20 children with a ratio of one adult to every ten children throughout the day with the exception of naptime. Before and After School Child Care. Child care is available at most schools before and after school from 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Please check with your assigned school to see if this service is provided. Instruction. The Little Rock School District uses a learning center approach to help children become independent thinkers, self-confident eager learners and highly skilled individuals. This approach provides opportunity for children to engage in respectful interactions in a richly prepared environment with professionals available to help them develop socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. Some of the centers that are implemented in the classrooms are the following: Block Center - Blocks provide the basic muscle development skills and creativity necessary to solve problems. This center will give children the opportunity to explore, sort, make comparisons, and build structures. Dramatic Play Center - Dramatic play is used to help children develop social interaction as they explore new and different ways to play. A variety of props will be available for children to role play. Art/Music Centers - In these centers children's self-esteem is developed. When their forms of self-expression are accepted and appreciated, children feel good about themselves. Small muscle skills and eye-hand coordination are developed in these centers. Creativity is encouraged. Language Arts Center - In this center, children begin to understand that books are exciting "friends" that can be enjoyed. They begin to notice that letters are symbols for the words they say. They learn to tell stories and events in sequence. They learn to "read" pictures. The children are developing their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in this center. Manipulative Center - This center is one in which children work with activities that develop small muscle and eye-hand coordination. Putting a puzzle together involves problem solving and configuration (seeing the shape of things and how they fit together). In this center children learn how to work independently, classify objects, put materials together, and how to take them apart. Nature/Science/Math Center - This center is a DOING center rather than a "look but don't touch" center. The children develop the thinking process and sensory experiences. They develop concepts of shape, color, size, number, classifying, and sequencing. 6 !J' (") .0z.. . ~ (") =1 m (") ::c u, m :,c

When students are tardy, they miss a portion of the instruction provided to the rest of the class. Students will be considered tardy ten minutes after the first bell rings. If a child must be absent, the following procedures will be used to report and monitor absences. 1. The parenUguardian is to notify the school attendance office by noon on the date when a student is absent. Failure to do so will result in the absence being recorded as unexcused unless the principal extends the verification period. 2. Full day or part day absences will be excused for personal illness, family emergency or an unusual cause acceptable to the principal of the school in which the student is enrolled. 3. When a student has three or more unexcused absences in any class during one semester, the school attendance secretary will notify the student's parenUguardian, or persons in loco parentis. Notice will be via telephone contact by the end of the school day in which the absence occurred or sent via regular mail no later than the following school day. Data from the student's Pupil Information Form will be used in the procedure. 4. When a student has six unexcused absences in any class during one semester, the school attendance secretary will again notify the student's parenUguardian of the number of absences. Also, the student's building-level administrator will schedule a conference with the student and his or her parenUguardian to discuss the student's absence pattern and its effects, together with appropriate interventions. The administrator will explain during the conference that dismissal will occur if the student receives 12 unexcused absences a semester. LRSD DISCIPLINE POLICY FOR CHILDREN IN THE PRE-K (FOUR-YEAR-OLD) PROGRAM Discipline in the Pre-Kindergarten Program will be appropriate to the child's level of understanding and be directed toward teaching the child acceptable behavior and self-control. Staff will offer guidance to a child needing redirection. With the help of a staff member, children will be offered appropriate choices so that in their developmental years they may determine what is right and wrong. If a child continues to have behavior problems, separating the child for "time out" may be necessary to resolve the difficulty. Time out is appropriate for children over 2 years of age. The period of time should equal the child's age
(for example, 4 years of age should be 4 minutes). ParenUteacher conferences may be needed to determine if other circumstances are contributing to the situation and to develop a plan of action. Behavior management used by the Little Rock School District focuses on creative conflict resolution. This technique emphasizes children learning to resolve their own conflicts with each other and with adults in a positive manner. It is designed to increase the self-esteem of the children. 7 Disciplinary Steps: (Taken from The Student Conduct Code Section of the Little Rock School District Student Handbook) 1. Prevention - trying to keep the inappropriate behavior from happening 2. Redirection - encouraging another activity, role-play appropriate behavior 3. Conference with child 4. Time out in the classroom (age appropriate amount of time and supervised) 5. Contact a parent for a conference 6. Refer to the Pupil Services Team and/or Tri-District Early Intervention Team to develop a behavior management plan 7. Up to five (5) days removal from the program 8. If a behavior is dangerous and/or unhealthy for the child, another child and/or staff members, and after all efforts have been exhausted, the child will be dismissed from the program Parents will be kept fully informed as a child progresses through the disciplinary steps. They will be called immediately when a child exhibits dangerous or uncontrollable behavior, and disciplinary action will be taken to ensure the safety for all, which, as noted above, could be dismissal from the program. The administrator may choose a more severe penalty, at any time, based on the child's past behavior record and may reduce disciplinary actions when warranted. When disciplinary actions are imposed on a child, the parent/guardian will be notified. The District's discipline procedures meet the licensing requirements as set forth by Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education Licensing requirements. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT DISTRICT POLICY STATES THAT CORPORAL PUNISHMENT MAY NOT BE USED AS A DISCIPLINARY MEASURE IN THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY ANY TEACHER, ADMINISTRATOR, OR OTHER SCHOOL PERSONNEL. PARENTS/GUARDIANS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ADMINISTER ANY FORM OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT ON SCHOOL GROUNDS. AUTHORIZED PERSONS/SIGN IN AND SIGN OUT 1. It is District and State policy that, upon arrival to school, the parent or guardian (or any designated adult or caregiver) must bring the children inside the school building to sign them in and make their presence known to the appropriate staff member. Parents must also come inside to sign their children out at the end of the school day, 2. The sign-in sheet is used to verify attendance and to ensure the child's safety. To remain in the program, a parent or designee must sign the child in and out. 3. It is important that the registering parent notify the school office in writing of persons authorized to pick up the child. A CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE SCHOOL ONLY WITH AUTHORIZED PERSONS. Anyone picking up a child should be prepared to show proper identification before the child will be released. In the case of divorced parents, it is important that the registering parent indicate on the enrollment application 8 !X' ("') 0.z. . ~ =1 m ("') :c en m :c < ?- .~., :c 0.. , m :c ::

Elementary-age siblings 4th grade and older may sign a Pre-Kindergarten student in/out only if a permission letter is signed by the parent/guardian and given to the school office by the parent/guardian. 5. Children should be picked up on time after school. If parents cannot pick up their children at the appropriate time, arrangements should be made for other transportation or after school care. No child will be released from the playground. Parents should accompany their children out of the building. Children should not be allowed to leave the building unattended. Children will need to be signed in/out for the CARE program, daycare pick-ups, car pools, and/or any method of transportation. Parent cooperation will help ensure the safety of all of the Pre-Kindergartne children. ILLNESS OF CHILDREN Children with these symptoms must be kept at home: Temperature of 100.4 or over (for the safety of the child and others, it is required that the child be kept home until 24 hours after he/she is fever-free without the aide of fever-reducing medication). Vomiting Diarrhea Symptoms of communicable disease If any of these occur, parents will be contacted to pick up their children immediately. MEDICATION AT SCHOOL Transporting Medication Between Home and School: Parents are responsible for getting medicine to and from school. Children will not be allowed to transport medicine at any time. Medication Permission: Parents must complete all required information on the LRSD permission form in order for the child to receive medicine at school. Medication Storage: Parents must take student medications to the nurse or office. Students are not allowed to keep medicine in the classroom, therefore, parents should never leave medications in backpacks. All medications will be locked in the office. The school nurse or office personnel will administer all medications. Teachers are not permitted to give medications. Over the counter medication will not be given longer than five days. Once-a-day medication and twice-a-day medications should be given at home. Please notify the office if medication requires refrigeration. Medication Time: It is important that each school establish routine times for medication administration. It is not possible to have a specific time for each child. Medication Containers: Medication must be in the prescription bottle or non-prescription original container with the original label. Medication is not to be sent in any other container or wrapper (e.g., Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, lunch box, etc.). 9 APPROPRIATE DRESS FOR SCHOOL Preschool is a very active place to learn. Children paint, glue, play in sand and water, and play outdoors daily weather permitting
therefore, sturdy, comfortable, washable clothes are necessary. This allows the children to become actively involved in all activities. Parents should make sure their children's clothes are easy to pull up and down for bathroom needs. Tennis shoes seem to work best for all activities. Flip-flops and clogs are not safe footwear for school. Children should always have a sweater or jacket available for cool days. Light clothing is necessary when it gets hot. The child 's name must be written on all clothes that the child can take off at school. (e.g., jackets, sweaters). In case of accidents, each child will need a complete change of clothing at school. OUTDOOR PLAY Outdoor play is required for one hour each day. Weather permitting, children will play outside every day with 32 being th~ temperature guideline. The wind chill factor is taken into consideration in the winter
heat index for the summer. Please do not ask for exceptions. If a student is too sick to go outside, parents need to keep the child home. The schools do not have enough assistants to provide one-on-one supervision and the State has strict guidelines for the ratio of adults to children. No toys will be allowed at school, and bringing toy guns to school will result in dismissal. EMERGENCY DRILLS Emergency drills are held monthly to acquaint the children with evacuation procedures. This makes quite an impression on a few children the first time a drill is held, but children soon become accustomed to the sound and know just what to do. The Pre-Kindergarten Program is equipped with a fire alarm system and smoke detectors. Fire extinguishers are placed throughout the building. NAP TIME After lunch, a nap period is scheduled for all Pre-Kindergarten children. Parents should send one small stuffed animal for the child to cuddle during naptime, one crib sheet, and a large bath towel for the mat. To protect the child's health, the District provides a sanitized mat or cot. Towels and sheets for Pre-Kindergarten are sent home on Friday to be laundered and must be returned on Monday. SCHOOL BREAKFAST/LUNCH PROGRAM A breakfast and lunch for the Pre-Kindergarten students will be available at each school. Both meals will be served in the cafeteria. Breakfast and/or lunch must be paid in advance weekly or daily. Free and reduced lunch application forms may be obtained in the school office. Food will not be heated, so parents must pack food that is prepared to be eaten as is. If a hot lunch is desired, it is suggested that the child purchase a lunch prepared by food service. If the child brings his/her lunch to school, it is recommend that a nutritious lunch be sent. Please do not send candy, gum, or soft drinks. !"' ("') z.0.. . ~ ("') ::1 m ("') :I: en m ~

If a child has an accident, the parent will be notified. Pull-ups will only be accepted due to a medical condition accompanied by a doctor's statement. PARENT INVOLVEMENT Please read carefully any notes or letters that the child brings home from school. This keeps the lines of communication open so that parents know what is happening at school. Lunch is a great time to volunteer! The school encourages all parents to become involved in their children's early education environment by volunteering or visiting in the classroom. This time can be at the parent's convenience and should be arranged with the classroom teacher. Volunteering will enhance the parent-teacher relationship and familiarize parents with the program and the many rewards of working with young children. Parents must remember, however, that is it never appropriate for a parent to discipline other children in the program. Little Rock School District has very specific disciplinary guidelines that must be followed. PARENTffEACHERCONFERENCES Two conferences will be scheduled during the school year
however, conferences between parents and teachers can be arranged at the request of either party whenever the need arises. Every effort will be made to schedule a time convenient for parents
however, every effort will be made not to schedule conferences during instructional time. If parents have a concern about either the program or policies regarding the Pre-Kindergarten Program, they should use the following procedure to express their concern: 1. Contact the classroom teacher and ask that a conference be arranged. Discuss the problem or concern with the child 's classroom teacher. In most cases, the teacher will be able to either explain the situation to the satisfaction of the parent or will make the necessary changes to remedy the situation. 2. If parents still have concerns, they should contact the building principal. MONEY SENT TO SCHOOL Parents should send all money in a sealed envelope with your child's name, teacher's name, and purpose of the money listed on the outside of the envelope. 11 Dear Parent or Guardian: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 Please sign and return this form to your child's teacher indicating that you have received and read this Handbook.

Superintendent of Schools Revision of Policy IJOA and IJOA-R - Field Trips BACKGROUND: The LRSD Board of Directors endorses the use of field trips. A field trip can best be described as a living laboratory in which learning is acquired through active hands-on experience with the rich resources of the local community. Each school will be responsible for using the grade level curriculum map to identify and explain the content area that each field trip will support and how student learning will be assessed. Fields trips are to be exciting and offer a learning experience for children beyond the walls of the classroom into the vast community outside. They provide children with experiences that cannot be duplicated in the school but are nonetheless an integral part of school instruction. RATIONALE: Policy IJOA and IJOA-R have been revised to provide direction to building principals and classroom teachers when planning field trips for the 2005-2006 school year. Procedures for field trips are outlined in an effort to ensure that students are spending quality instructional time with the teacher in the classroom and on field trips. Principals and teachers will be accountable for organizing field trips in an effort to ensure that each opportunity is related to the district's curriculum and to ensure that the district policy and regulations are being adhered to. FUNDING: Individual School's Operating Budget RECOMMENDATION: The Board approved IJOA on first reading at their agenda meeting on July 14. The administration requests second reading and approval of Policy IJOA for implementation during the 2005-2006 school year.

In light of the valuable contribution to a child's education, field trips should be preceded by good planning. Careful attention should be given to trip selection, pre-visit, preparation, appropriate follow up, and evaluation. Such efforts should ensure that students will have a successful educational experience. When considering a field trip, teachers are advised to first consult with their administrator regarding existing school board policies and follow the recommended procedures outlined in the regulation - lJOA -R: Field Trips. Adopted: July 22, 1999 Revised: 2 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R FIELD TRIPS Responsibilities of Principals in the Field Trip Process It is the responsibility of the principal to ensure the planning, execution, and fulfillment of all financial obligations. By signing the required Request for Educational Field Trip form (Form 221 , revised 7/05), the principal is: stating that the field trip is related to the curriculum standards and benchmarks appropriate for the grade level or course
indicating that the teacher will make the actual arrangements at the site and describing the kind of transportation to be used
stating that student safety and accessibility to the trip has been considered
and agreeing that a requisition form to pay for entrance fees, tickets, etc. will be submitted General Procedures All activities that involve any student leaving the campus for school-sanctioned activities are construed to be field trips and will fall within these guidelines whether or not district transportation or other transportation is used. 1. The Educational Services Division will support the schools in identifying and aligning the field trip to the curriculum. Using the grade level curriculum map, the teacher will identify and explain the content area that the field trip will support and how student learning will be assessed. 2. All field trips must be curriculum-related and must be accessible to all students. All students must be afforded the opportunity to go on the field trip(s). Hence, student participation in field trips must not be used for disciplinary purposes or sanctions. All regulations in the Little Rock School District Elementary and Secondary Handbook will be followed while on the field trip and in determining eligibility to participate. 3. Field trip requests must be made at least three (3) weeks prior to the date of the field trip. If this timeline is not adhered to, the request may be denied. Schools must cancel trips at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time. Failure to do so will result in a one (1) hour regular rate penalty charge to be billed to the school. 3 !X' n .0z.. .

Because of the district's commitment to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act and remove schools from school improvement, it is critical for instructional time to be used wisely. Therefore, field trips will be limited to two (2) field trips per classroom on the elementary schools. Both elementary and secondary principals will submit a quarterly field trip report that will be monitored by the Associate Superintendents. No field trips should be approved during the week of any testing and after May 15th of each year unless approved by the Associate Superintendent for Elementary or Secondary Schools. 5. Since no funds have been centrally budgeted for field trips, each school is responsible for the funding of field trips, with the exception of those field trips, which are financed through special programs or curricular departments. 6. A supply of the Request for Educational Field Trip and the Field Trip Permission forms is available from the Supply Center by requisition . 7. Principals are to thoroughly check all field-trip requests forms to ensure that the required information is complete and correct prior to signing. Principals will be accountable for ensuring that all submitted field trip forms are complete and accurate and that all directives pertaining to field trips are followed. Prior to the field trip, the principal should submit a copy of each field trip form to the appropriate Associate Superintendent. 8. Written parental approval must be given in order for a student to be allowed to participate in a field trip. All documents involving parental approval must be kept on file at the school until the end of the academic year. 9. The Procurement Department will publish a list of approved charter bus companies and reminders of the timeline for requisitions. A purchase requisition must be completed if a charter bus will be the mode of transportation employed. 4 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) 10. For trips out of the city, a seat assignment list is required. Students should be in their assigned seats during all travel time. 11. An employee of the District must be designated as the emergency contact person for any field trip, which is in progress before or after school hours. The teacher/ administrator conducting the field trip must have the phone number of this emergency contact person. The emergency contact person must have a copy of the field trip list and remain available until all students are returned to the school or their home. The teacher/administrator conducting the field trip and the principal must also have a copy of the list during the field trip. The teacher/administrator who is conducting the field trip will notify the emergency contact person when all students have been returned safely to school or to their homes. 12. If a charter bus is used for transporting students: The vendor must be on the approved Procurement list. Insurance certificates for approved charter bus companies are kept on file at Procurement. Schools are to prepare a requisition, attach a copy of the Request for Educational Field Trip form, and forward to Procurement for purchase order processing. All payments for charter buses will be via purchase orders. 13. If a private vehicle is used for the transportation of students: Parents must give permission for their child to ride in a private vehicle. Proof of insurance must be obtained. Such verification will be kept on file for the duration of the academic year. (A photocopy of the vehicle operator's insurance card showing current coverage will suffice.) The vehicle used for the trip and its driver must have the State's required Arkansas minimum automobile liability insurance coverage. A seat belt must be available for every passenger and the driver. The driver must be at least 21 years of age. 14.An appropriate number of chaperones will be secured to ensure student safety and to maintain proper discipline of the students. This ratio will vary by grade level and by the nature of the field trip. 5 !X' (") 0 z -i ~ (") ~ m (") ::r: en m ~

o Z(") c, m men en LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) Additional Considerations State law and issues of liability will be considered in planning and implementing field trips, whether curricular or for athletic events in which private vehicles are utilized. Conditions for the Use of District Vehicles 1. The District can provide transportation for field trips and activities if such field trips or activities are between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1 :30 p.m. during the school day. Saturday and after-school-hour activities must be arranged via the Educational Field Trip Request form. LRSD buses will normally not be available for field trips on Sunday. 2. Arrangements for transportation for regularly-scheduled athletic events will be made with Laidlaw Transportation regarding the number of buses needed and the time when they are needed. 3. No stops will be made for the purpose of feeding students lunch unless previously requested on the Request for Educational Field Trip form. Financial Procedures for Field Trips When Using a LRSD (Laidlaw) Bus 1. Schools must identify the budget account(s) to charge for buses on the Request for Educational Field Trip form when LRSD bus or Laidlaw Transportation is used. If the cost is being split between several schools, all codes must be listed along with the percent allocation to each school. If no account(s) is provided, the request will not be approved and the form will be returned to the school. 2. Once the trip occurs, Laidlaw will bill the LRSD, and the Business Office will subsequently charge the cost of expenses to the budget code(s) provided on the Request for Educational Field Trip form. The Business Office will pay Laidlaw directly for the trip. 3. A copy of the paid invoice will be sent to the principal/department head that has control over the budget code(s) listed. This copy will be the notification of the amount(s) charged to the budget. 6 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) Third-Party Funders of Field Trips 1. If a third party is paying for the field trip (PTA, etc.), schools must still provide the school budget code on the form. The school budget will be charged, and the school will then be responsible for collecting the amount due from the third party. When this amount is collected, the school must forward the check to the Business Office with instructions on which account(s) to credit. 2. The contract rate with Laidlaw for the year will apply. The time for rate calculations will be from the time the bus arrives at the school until the time the bus returns to be billed in 15-minute intervals. 3. If after a trip the principal/teacher has concerns about the service provided, the principal should call the LRSD liaison with Laidlaw who will then work with Laidlaw to resolve the issues and make necessary adjustments to the invoice. Once the school receives the copy of the Laidlaw invoice, the amount will have already been deducted from the budget code provided on the Request for Educational Field Trip form. Activity Fund When paying for buses using activity accounts, all of the regulations above apply, with the following exceptions: 1. The school should use the activity account code. 2. If a LRSD department is responsible (i.e ., Staff Development, Superintendent's Office), the form must be coded by the responsible department. 3. The school will receive a copy of the paid invoice showing the account code to be charged. 4. An Activity Fund Requisition must be completed and forwarded, along with a copy of the invoice to the Business Office. Date: October 21, 1999 Revised: 7 !l' n 0 .z.. . ~ n =l m n ::c Cl> m ::a <

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: FA New Facilities Development Goal The Board of Education is committed to promoting the conservation of energy and natural resources for new construction of District facilities. This approach will provide a positive effect on the City's environment and ensure healthy places for students to learn and employees to work. The promotion of buildings that are environmentally responsible is at the forefront of planning for energy and resource conservation at the local, state and national levels. The District will join in this effort through planning, designing, constructing and operating District-owned buildings and facilities by utilizing sustainable design practices that will decrease the negative impact of building on the environment and occupant health while reducing operating and maintenance costs. The District will adopt the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED-NC) rating system for new construction of District-owned facilities (or other nationally recognized rating system).

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Contract Extension for Technology Services BACKGROUND: After the successful millage election in May 2000, the District began contracting for technology services for the development and implementation of the LRSD Technology Plan. In the beginning two consulting firms were under contract: ATS&R to address the physical infrastructure and EDS to work with District staff to create and implement a new technology plan. As technology projects have been completed, contracts for technology services have been reduced as shown in the chart below. The current District contract with Education Innovations - Sharon Dowdy which began in 2004 expired on June 30, 2005. Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Budget 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Total EDS 349,849 840,000 840,000 203,419 2,233,268 ATS&R 255,619 255,619 Education Innovations 77,937 79,500 157,437 605,468 840,000 840,000 203,419 77,937 79,500 2,646,324 RATIONALE: Discussions during last year's contract presentation process indicated that 2004-2005 could be the last year this service would be needed by the District. Several major events have caused a re-evaluation of our previous position. 1. Three of our most critical technology related contracts end either at 6/30/06 or 6/30/07 at which time new RFPs will have to be developed and responses evaluated. :.n., z )> z n >,... ::0 .m., 0 ~ ?< n 5 en z C'l ::0 m 3: )> ::0 .f.l, ::0 0.. , m ~ C 0 z ~ 0z 3: )> m m ,~... m !::I C'l ~ ..z.. ., ::0 0.. , 0 ,~... Those contracts include our wide area network lease
local, long distance, and cellular phone service
and telephone system maintenance. 2. Federal E-Rate processes and procedures are continually becoming more complex, making the securing of funds a much more technical and time consuming process. 3. The evaluation and implementation of an automated agenda management system is scheduled to begin in August 2005. Other factors that also should be considered: 1. Cost/Benefit The cost of entering into this contract is far outweighed by the amount of revenue received from E-Rate funds each year. Since the District began using a consultant to assist with E-Rate filings for 2001-2002, the amount of revenue funded for E-Rate projects has been over $ 1 million annually. The chart below shows the District's funding received since the inception of the program in 1998: E-Rate Funds Received Total E-Rate Funded 1998-2001 627,120 2001-2002 2,777,603 2002-2003 1,264,968 2003-2004 3,075,463 2004-2005 1,385,105 Total E-Rate Funded 2001 - 2005 8,503,139 2. Requests for Proposal (RFP) Writing technology-related RFPs requires a level of technical sophistication not currently required for routine operation of the District. A multi-million dollar telecommunications RFP must be developed and evaluated and contracts signed before E-Rate applications can be filed in January 2006. The current value of that contract is approximately $ 1.8 million annually. Other technology-related projects arise each year that are one-time projects requiring technical assistance. For example, during 2004-05 Ms. Dowdy helped write and evaluate the RFP for webbased access to student grades (Edline) and assisted in writing the RFP for online Board agenda software as well as conducting reference checks on potential vendors. The evaluation phase of the online agenda RFP is scheduled for August. Future projects under consideration that will require outside technical assistance are: District-wide document management system Textbook inventory software Applicant tracking Centralized library management system Expansion of media retrieval systems These potential projects, if funded, will require assistance in research and writing of technical specifications, conducting technical pre-bid conferences, coordinating vendor presentations, conducting reference checks, and conducting project coordination meetings. 3. Project Management For the most part, implementation of E-Rate projects is handled by LRSD staff. However, in some cases where a different level of technical expertise is required, the services of an independent project manager are needed. A current example would be the remaining two (2) complete Safari installations and final review and sign-off for six (6) more. To meet E-rate requirements those installations must be complete by September 30. We have also been funded for smaller video systems at four elementary schools that will be installed this year. 4. Current Staff Impact A portion of the work done by Education Innovations is of a technical nature requiring expertise that is not available in the District, while some components of the work could be done by District staff in Computer Information Services and Instructional Technology. However, a change of this magnitude will negatively impact the District's resources that are currently being focused on the support of our technology needs. The current staffing levels and responsibilities of the two departments impacted by this contract are outlined below. Computer Information Services Current staff: Director, 1 Operations Manager, 3 Operations Specialists (AS/400), 5 Applications Specialists, 1 Help Desk Specialist, 1 Systems Engineer (servers), 1 System Engineer (desktop), 1 Training Coordinator, 9 Computer Technicians, 1 Telephone Technician and .5 Secretary. This staff is responsible for: Coordination and support of CIMS software running on IBM AS/400 system. All major hardware and software issues are escalated to the IT Director. Coordination and support of data interface integration of electronic gradebook and web-based grade access for parents. Coordination and support of all software initiatives including participation in the evaluation and approval process. Implementation and support of District's server farm, including maintaining all user accounts and email in an active directory environment. Coordinate all technology related software/hardware products used throughout the District. Responsible for training all users on the District's Student Management system, including attendance, grading, transcripts, scheduling, and maintaining demographic data. Support approximately 8,000 desktop computers District-wide, including overall approval and use of all desktop software. Responsible for automation of all District cafeterias using BonAppetit software application. .:-,.n, z >z (") ,>-
