JOSHUA '54.n Individual Approach to a World of Knowledge" DATE: August 28, 2003 TO: Boar f Directors FROM: onald M. Stewart, Chief Financial Officer Morris L. Holmes, Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Bill Goodman SUBJECT: August 2003 Construction Report-Bond Projects This has been a very busy summer with a lot of construction in our schools. In some cases, it has been frantic. I am happy to report that all of our schools opened on time and are fully functional. Even the cafeteria at Mabelvale Middle School was ready to serve food to the students in an air-conditioned room. The new elevator in Central High has been completed. For the first time, the physically handicap have access to most areas in the building. I am amazed at what was accomplished in a few weeks this summer. I would look at a building one day and it would look like a disaster. Several days later, I would look at the same building and the change for the better was unbelievable. This never would have happened without the cooperation and understanding of the principals. The Facility Services Department did an outstanding job of coordinating the work. The bids were taken for the replacement school at Wakefield Elementary on July 31 st - The low bidder's price was below the architect's construction cost estimate. The contract has been awarded to Bell Construction Company, and the groundbreaking ceremony was held this past Saturday, August 23' d I hope you were able to attend. Mr. Doug Eaton, Director of Facility Services, will give you a verbal update of plans for the renovation of Mitchell and Rightsell. Please call me at 447-1146 if you have any questions. 810 W Mark.ham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 www.lrsd.k12.ar.us 501-324-2000 fax: 501-324-2032 !.I,,I m ~ zz ,m.. n :,:,c. z Cl m "' :,, ~ m

Holmes, Interim Superintendent of Schools ~-Donald M. Stewart, Chief Financial Officer Mitchell and Rightsell Elementary School Updates Pursuant to questions raised at the July Board of Directors Meeting, the following information is provided with regard to the most current status on Mitchell and Rightsell Elementary Schools. As of the start of the school year, we have concluded our annual maintenance-inspections and cleaning of the heating-ventilation units at Mitchell Elementary and will be starting Rightsell Elementary School in the very near future. While finding them in relative good order, we did succeed in completing some minor repairs that will improve the moisture problems. Relative humidity tests taken in early August at Mitchell Elementary School revealed that the relative humidity ranged between 68 to 72 percent. This is not optimum, and steps are being taken to lower that humidity. We intend to take additional tests and to include carbon-dioxide tests once school is in attendance. The results should be available within a week to ten days. With these tests we can further plan what necessary steps must be taken to improve the facilities. Based on previous tests that we have done during our studies of the schools, we have concluded that the schools are safe for staff and children. Once the staff and children are back in the schools, there will be an influx of beneficial fresh air that will further improve the situation but not to the extent that we should see once we complete our bond project. On 18 August, we formulated a plan that includes both short-term and intermediate steps to be taken in both of these fine old elementary schools. It also includes a revised maintenance schedule. Our goal is to bring Mitchell's and Rightsell 's air quality within acceptable industry-standards and to provide the best environment that we can for conducting school at these facilities. We are continuing our long-range planning for renovation projects at both of these facilities. 810 W Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 www.lrsd.org 501-447-1000 fax: 501-447-1001 A decision was made that all necessary steps will be taken to ensure the indoor-airquality standard at Mitchell Elementary School is met so that school can remain at that facility until the summer of 2004. It is our intention, at that time, to begin the major renovation-work at this school and to relocate these children to the old Badgett Elementary School in East Little Rock. Our intention is to do the work at Rightsell as soon as the plans and specifications can be completed in early Spring, at which time we will begin work on that facility immediately.

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Date: August28,2003 To: Board of Directors From: Lucy Neal, Director, Technology and Media Services Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent Curriculum and Instruction Through: Subject: Technology Update The following new technology activities have taken place in the last month: The District was recently notified that the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) grant was funded in the amount of $506,553. This is a tri-district partnership grant that provides technology training for teachers in the three districts of Pulaski County. Projects include on-line training courses for teachers, as well as face-to-face classes. The grant also funds new computer labs for Woodruff and Dodd. We are continuing to receive questions and provide answers to the organization that oversees E-Rate. We have been told that our applications are in final review at this time. Computer Information Services has recently installed a web-based reporting system that will make data more accessible to users in the District. Training on the new system will begin this fall. Internet access to the District has been sporadic for the last two weeks due to problems on the state network. The District has also experienced serious e-mail problems during that time. An update on both of these problems will be provided at the August 28 board meeting. !JJ "D m ~ zz ,m...

Holmes, Interim Superintendent Collaborative Grant Proposal with UALR The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is preparing a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation that involves interactive virtual environments. The technology was recently added, for example, to theme park attractions at Universal Studios. The technology exploits a variety of techniques to integrate the virtual with the physical in a scalable, mixed reality environment. The UALR grant proposal will develop the technology for instructional uses. For example, a science teacher might have a virtual environment in which she is in the room with a virtual instructor and virtual students. She can interact with the instructor and the students as they perform a lab experiment. This episode can be a professional development experience for the teacher as she learns how to conduct the lab with her own students. Students can also benefit from a virtual environment in which materials and resources are available to them virtually that may be cost prohibitive for the school to actually have. Dr. Mary Good, Dean of the College of Information Science and Systems Engineering, and Dr. Angela Sewall, Dean of the College of Education, from UALR will give a short presentation to the Board about the possibilities for collaboration in this project. .,. ~s CJ),.- l2 c:C ... 3C <zSz n~ :r!:- <"' C?

Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Linda Austin/4 Director of Planning and Development RE: Grant Proposals: 21 st Century Community Learning Center Program Background Information The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) released the 2003-2004 21 st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant competition for proposals. The grants are supported through the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The purpose of the 21 st CCLC program is to establish community learning centers that operate during out-of-school hours. Programs must provide students in high poverty schools with intensive academic enrichment opportunities along with other activities designed to complement the students' regular academic program. The District submitted two proposals, Woodruff Elementary and McClellan High School. Both schools elected to participate in the 21 st CCLC grant by virtue of the pressing academic and social needs of their students as well as their high numbers of free and reduced lunch eligible students (Woodruff: 85% and McClellan: 50%). The Woodruff 21 st CCLC program design offers a broad array of services, programs, and activities that are specifically designed to meet the needs of elementary school students. An example of some of the services to be delivered at Woodruff include: 1) a one-hour before school program, 2) a three-hour after-school program, 3) three 1-week intersession programs, 4) a visual and performing arts enrichment program, 5) a multitude of rich cultural activities, 6) an array of family services, and 7) a monthly Super Saturday program. To support and enrich grant implementation, Woodruff has established community partnerships with Wildwood Park, Twin City p .... m !!l

Collaborative partnerships have been established with the UALR College of Information Science and Systems Engineering, Centers for Youth and Families, Professional Counseling Associates, ITT Technical Institute, and Southwest Regional Medical Center. The grants were submitted on July 11, 2003 in order to meet the July 11, 2003 submission deadline. Fiscal Impact The Year One request for Woodruff is $149,463. The total five-year award request for Woodruff is $538,067. The Year one request for McClellan is $148,241. The total five-year award request for McClellan is $533,668. The requested funds are primarily targeted for teachers stipends for out-ofschool tutoring programs, transportation, equipment and software as well as an evening snack for each participant. Local match is not required. Recommendation The staff requests approval for the submission of this grant. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Date: August 28, 2003 To: From: Through: Re: Board of Directors -~ennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent Curriculum and Instruction Morris Holmes, Interim Superintendent End of Course Algebra 1, Geometry, and Literacy Results - Summary of End of Course Results for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Literacy - We are reporting the results of the End of Course (EOC) Algebra 1, Geometry, and Literacy Exams. Improvement in student achievement occurred in all three areas. Generally, subgroups of students in our district made similar or greater progress than the same subgroups at the state level. - The purpose of this report is to identify overall trends in student achievement, by subgroup and by school, on the EOC Algebra 1, Geometry and Literacy Exams. - Staff members will use the results to identify specific areas of strength and need in student learning in Algebra 1, Geometry and literacy so that curriculum, instruction, and professional development can be tailored to the needs of students in each school. Schools have received data about individual student performance on these exams, have an item analysis for each item on the exam, and will soon have the released items from each of the exams. This degree of detail will allow each school to be specific when identifying strengths and needs. -Expectations are that district staff and school-based staff will use the results of the EOC tests, including the item analyses and released items, to make adjustments in the mathematics and literacy programs that will lead to improved student achievement during the 2003-04 school year. -We recommend that each school thoroughly disaggregate the EOC data to provide the level of specificity needed to adjust day-to-day instruction so that this year's students continue or exceed the progress made by students that is reflected in the 2003 results. !.D., :c

This improvement of 9% compares to a statewide improvement of 8%. Sixteen percent (16%) of African American students were proficient in 2002-03 compared to 11 % in 2001-02. Sixty percent (60%) of Caucasian students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 44% in 2001-02. Hall, Cloverdale, Dunbar, and Mann all experienced growth of 20% or more from the previous year's administration. The schools with the highest overall scores were Dunbar and Pulaski Heights with 87% proficient or advanced and Forest Heights and Mann with 79% and 72% proficient or advanced respectively. The high school with the highest overall score was Hall with 32% proficient or advanced. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of the students were proficient or advanced on the EOC Geometry Exam in 2002-03 compared to 17% in 2001-02. This improvement of22% compared to a statewide improvement of 8%. A variable that most likely contributed to our large improvement was the re-sequence of math courses last year that placed Geometry after Algebra 2 instead of before Algebra 2. The change was made so that more ninth grade students could take advantage of Pre-AP Physics, which has an Algebra 2 co-requisite. The change created a one-year transition where about half as many students took Geometry. Seventeen percent (17%) of African American students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 6% the year before. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Caucasian students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 43% the year before. The school with the greatest improvement was Central, which increased from 27% to 67% proficient or advanced. Central also had the highest number of students who were proficient or advanced in geometry with 67%. The next highest was Hall with 32%. The percentage of students in Algebra 1 and Geometry in the below basic range decreased dramatically. In Algebra 1 the percent of students below basic dropped by 11 percentage points from 2001-02 to 2002-03. Cloverdale has the largest decrease in below basic with a drop of28%. Hall has the second largest decrease with 26%. Dunbar, Forest Heights, Mann, and Pulaski Heights had or were close to zero students in the below basic category. In Geometry the percent of students who were below basic dropped by 35 percentage points from 2001-02 to 2002-03. J. A. Fair had the largest improvement with a decrease of 61 % of students who were below basic. Central had the lowest overall percent of students in the below basic category with only 8%. In literacy the percent of students who scored proficient or advanced increased from 32% to 36% over a one-year period and from 17% to 36% over a two-year period. The increase last year of 4% is equal to the statewide increase of 4%. The two-year growth exceeded the state's growth over the same period by 6% (LRSD 19%, state 13%). All five high schools experienced growth in literacy achievement over the two-year period. Parkview had the most growth in literacy among the high schools 15% over a one-year period and 30% over a two-year period. The school-by-school results for each test will be provided to Board members under separate cover.

McCoy, Director of Child Nutrition THROUGH: Morris L. Holmes, Ed. D. Interim Superintendent RE: Adoption of Resolution on Elimination of Reduced Meals Category This is the year for the reauthorization of all Child Nutrition programs by the Congress of the United States. In a recent legislative session of American School Food Service Association on reauthorization, it was a unanimous decision to ask Congress to eliminate the reduced price status in school meals programs and provide free meals to all children with family incomes below 185 percent of poverty. One strategy for rallying support is to ask school boards to adopt a resolution in support of this change in the reauthorization bill. I would recommend that the LRSD join the thousands of school food service providers nationwide in support of this change in the law. Senator Elizabeth Dole has prepared the bill to submit to Congress in support of this request. I am including with this correspondence a resolution for your review and adoption. Thank you for your consideration and support. !" "Tl :,:: 3: en ~ m en e.,n, ::0 0., , m s

and Whereas, the child nutrition programs must be reauthorized by the Congress of the United States during the current fiscal year
and Whereas, reduced price school meals are offered, in participating schools, to children with family income between 130 percent of the poverty line and 185 percent of the poverty line
and Whereas, many families in the reduced price income category are finding it difficult to pay the reduced fee and, for some families, the fee is an insurmountable barrier to participation
and Whereas, the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) provides free benefits to all participants with family income below 185 percent of poverty
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Little Rock School District supports reauthorization of all federal child nutrition programs
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Little Rock School District urges the Congress of the United States to eliminate the reduced price school meals programs, and to provide free meals for all children with family incomes below 185 percent of poverty
and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this RESOLUTION shall be sent -to the Arkansas Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C.

Holmes, Ed. D. Interim Superintendent Re: School-Based Dental Hub / Clinic Pain related to dental decay is responsible for absenteeism and lack of concentration during class. Children with low socio-economic status are likely to have at least three more decayed or filled primary teeth than children from families with higher income levels. In collaboration with the Dental Health Action Team, we are presenting the proposal for "Future Smiles: School-Based Dental Hub" for your review. The dental hub/clinic, located at Wakefield Elementary School, will be for children at highest risk for dental problems. Dental Services will be coordinated by UALR Share America in partnership with twelve (12) agencies represented on the Dental Health Action Team and the Little Rock School District. These agencies have a three-year history of providing preventive services to our students. The attached proposal represents a five (5) year plan to implement these services beginning in August 2004. We recommend that the "Future Smiles: School-Based Dental Hub / Clinic" be approved as submitted. :e fl

(2001, May). Filling the Gap: Strategies for Improving Oral Health. Issue Brief. HISTORY UALR Share America and the Office of Oral Health have collaborated for three years on projects to improve the oral health for children in underserved areas of Little Rock. To that end, Share America formed the Dental Health Action Team three years ago "to work together to improve oral health outcomes and reduce disparities among children." The DHAT has provided dental screenings and referrals to more than 3000 children in Little Rock Public Schools and Head Start Programs each year. - I - 08/01/03 The screening data show that 58% of children have tooth decay, 28% have untreated decay, and an alanning 5% of those children screened had emergency dental needs. Unfortunately, less than 2% of the children had dental sealants, a proven primary preventive measure. Building on the screenings in 2001, a school-based program was established to provide dental sealants to more than one-hundred 2-3rd graders in the six partner schools and Head Start Programs working with UALR Share America (Bale, Wilson, Wakefield, Franklin, Stephens, and Chicot). Existing preventive services include annual dental screening and sealants. During the fall, students with a completed consent fonn are screened to identify tooth decay and any teeth that require sealants. During February "National Children's Dental Health Month", sealants are placed, with 4 stations set up in the schools and staffed by volunteer dental professionals. The process takes approximately 15-25 minutes using the light cured system. Currently we have a 50-65% return rate for parental consent fonns. PROGRAM DESIGN: The Dental Health Action Team proposes to establish a "school-based dental hub/clinic" for the children at highest risk. School-based dental programs create immediate access to oral health care by taking the services to the populations in need. The hub, located at Wakefield Elementary School, would serve children enrolled in the Share America Program in six elementary schools. In addition to the services provided by the clinic, Share America will continue to utilize the mobile dental equipment to provide annual screenings and the sealant program in the six schools. The clinic would enhance the preventive oral health services currently offered and provide comprehensive oral health services for children. While the current Share America students will be the initial source of clients, we would anticipate serving other at-risk income populations such as Head Start clients and students eligible for the school free and reduced lunch program within the six schools. OBJECTIVES: Increase the proportion of children who use the oral health system each year. Increase the proportion of low-income children and adolescents who receive preventive dental services each year. Our ultimate goal is to provide crucial preventive services to 100% of those children at-risk in these elementary schools. Reduce the prevalence of children and adolescents with untreated dental decay. Reduce the proportion of children and adolescents who have dental caries in their primary or permanent teeth. Explore the possibility of expanding school-based dental hubs to other schools. *Based on objectives for the Nation in Healthy People 2010. Program Management: Dental services will be coordinated by UALR Share America in partnership with the Dental Health Action Team and Little Rock School District. A Memorandum of Agreement between the Little Rock School District and the DHAT will outline programs and operations and renewed annually. A Steering Committee made up of representatives from each partner organization, parents and key individuals from the community at large will oversee the program. Member organizations include: UAMS, Delta Dental Plan of Arkansas, Arkansas Dept. of Health, Arkansas Dept. of Human Services, Arkansas Dept. of Education, Cooperative Extension, UALR, LRSD, Arkansas State Dental Association, St. Vincent Health System, - 2 - .!J.,l :c

Holmes, Interim Superintendent SUBJECT: Changes to Gate Prices at Athletic Events The Little Rock School District is proposing an increase in adult ticket prices for the upcoming 2003-04 athletic seasons. The increase is$ 1.00 over last year's price for adult tickets, with no increase in student ticket prices. All middle school events will be $3 for adults and $2 dollars for students. High school events will be $5 for adults and $3 for students. As a new feature this year, the LRSD proposes to offer a "Super Pass" that will enable the recipient to attend all middle and high school athletic events during the 2003-04 athletic seasons. One adult Super Pass will cost $85. One student Super Pass will cost $50. A family Super Pass can be purchased for $150, which will allow a family of up to five to attend all athletic events in the LRSD. Employee family passes can still be purchased for $10, which enables the immediate family members of a LRSD employee to attend all athletic events. Passes will be available for purchase at the Administration Business Office and the Athletic Department located in the former Garland School building. It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve the 2003-04 athletic gate prices as submitted. 810 W Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 www.lrsd.k12.ar.us 501-324-2000 fax: 501-324-2032 > .~,, ::c: 3: "' ~ m ""'' "0 ~ "0 m ~ -<

JUL 2 4 ::03 This letter will follow up Monday's conversation regarding the District's upcoming refunding bond sale. During our conversation we discussed the ability of Stephens Inc. to bid on this issue. Since this is a relatively new process, I wanted to explain the situation in detail. Since January, our firm has been concerned about the significant supply of Arkansas school bonds that will be offered for sale during 2003. We have made efforts to increase the salability of bonds by asking for input from firms that frequently bid these issues. As well, Stephens is attempting to increase marketability by dropping the conversion requirements on essentially all of these upcoming bond issues. Earlier this year, I met with the Arkansas Department of Education and Arkansas State Securities Department regarding the ability of Stephens Inc. to bid on school bond issues where we currently serve as fiscal agent. On April 25, 2003, the Securities Commissioner issued an order permitting Stephens to submit bids on Arkansas school bonds where the firm also serves as fiscal agent. Our ability to submit a bid on issues of this type will expire on December 31, 2003. The process of a fiscal agent submitting a bid on a school bond issue is new to this state. It is, however, done in numerous states throughout the nation. At Stephens, we believe our ability to bid will improve competition and be beneficial for all Arkansas school districts. Let me offer a recent financing that confirms our thoughts on this matter. Earlier today, Stephens was the successful bidder on bonds sold by Dumas School District. We represent Dumas as fiscal agent and the School Board had previously authorized Stephens to bid on this issue. By accepting the low bid from Stephens, the District's interest cost was reduced by $8,110.15. The procedure used in bidding these bonds is an electronic process where neither the bidder or the fiscal agent has knowledge of the bids prior to the sale. Complete confidentiality 1s maintained, so that Stephens is not able to view bids prior to the scheduled opening. Investment Bankers www .Stephens.com 111 Center Street P.O . Box 3507 Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 501-374-4361 Fax 501-377-2666 Enclosed you will find a letter which the Board should consider at its next meeting. This letter is to acknowledge that Stephens may bid on the District's bond issue. I can tell you that it is our intention, with the District's consent, to submit a bid on your bonds. If the Board elects to allow Stephens to bid on the proposed refunding, please place the enclosed letter on the District's letterhead, have the President and Secretary sign, and return it in the envelope provided. If you have any questions, please give me a call. Mark McBryde .!X.,I :,:

In March of 1983, the Little Rock School District Board of Directors excessed the property immediately adjacent and to the west of Forest Heights Junior High School. Since that action, two parcels of the property have been sold. One was sold in 1985 to the American Cancer Society, Arkansas Division, and one in 1995 to the Williamson Family, Limited, partnership. Of the total property-excess in 1983, the northern one-third is still available for sale. The Little Rock School District Administration has received an inquiry as to whether this property is available for sale. The property is as described on the attached resolution.
