Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Policy Deletion - IHCA (Summer School) BACKGROUND In 1982, the Board of Education adopted a Summer School policy stating that operational costs of summer programs would be covered by pupil tuition and/other grants, exclusive of local and state tax funds. In July 1999, the Board adopted a revised Summer School policy that emphasized PreK-3 extended opportunities that received state funding. This funding no longer exists. During the 2003-2004 school year, the District was advised by legal counsel that according to A.C.A. 6-16-702, that summer fees could not be levied on students who qualified for free and reduced price lunch. The majority of LRSD summer school participants (2004 and 2005) qualified for free tuition thus leaving the district to bear the total financial burden. Act 2243, of the State of Arkansas 85th General Assembly, 2005, addresses Public School Assessment and Remediation. Each student identified as not meeting satisfactory pass levels on the Benchmark and end-of-course exams will be given an Academic Improvement Plan (AIP) for remediation. In response, the District will implement a comprehensive program of focused intervention and acceleration activities aligned with students' needs. Credit recovery will be made available for high school students who require make up. Credit recovery programs will be available as needed on a year round schedule. Additionally, a variety of focused intervention and acceleration activities will be made available for students requiring these services. These may include, among other things, before and after school tutoring programs, acceleration programs operating during the academic day, Saturday school or summer programs as funding allows. RATIONALE This policy has become outdated. The elimination of this policy will update efficiency and compliance. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the elimination of policy IHCA.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Board Disbursing Officers and Legislative Representative BACKGROUND: Act 671 of 2003 amended Arkansas Code 6-13-618 requiring the Board of Directors to designate, by resolution adopted by majority vote, one (1) of its members to serve as the primary board disbursing officer of the District and may designate one (1) member as an alternate Board disbursing officer in the absence of the primary Board disbursing officer.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District of Pulaski County designates the President of the Board as the primary disbursing officer of the District, the Vice-President of the Board as the alternate disbursing officer of the District in the absence of the President of the Board, and Joseph Mittiga as the Board's legislative representative. President Vice-President Adopted: DATE: TO: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 November 17, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Robert M. Daugherty, Ph.D. President SUBJECT: Future Use of the Mitchell School Building BACKGROUND: The Mitchell Academy building, constructed in 1908, is unable to meet current educational standards without extensive and costly repairs and renovations. The high cost of renovation, combined with low student enrollment, led the Board to close the school in December 2004. A committee, chaired by Board President Dr. Michael Daugherty, was formed to study alternative uses for the Mitchell building and present the Board with a recommendation. The committee held its first meeting in January 2005 and hosted subsequent meetings in the Mitchell neighborhood. A survey on reuse of the building was developed for area residents and approximately 130 responses were returned. In July 2005, at the direction of the Board, the district issued a Request For Proposal for the reuse of the Mitchell building with a submission deadline of August 31, 2005. RATIONALE: RFP responses were received from Neighborhood Builders, Inc., Little Rock, AR
the City of Little Rock, Little Rock, AR
and, Rivendell Health Services/Alta Care of Arkansas, Benton, AR. The Mitchell committee reviewed the proposals and selected the City of Little Rock, which plans to use the building as a neighborhood hub of community programs and services, as its first choice. The Committee chose the City's proposal because it successfully met all eight requirements in the District's RFP at a level superior to the others submitted, because such a site did not conflict with Arkansas State Law, and because the proposal has the support of the Mitchell Community. FUNDING: The Committee recommends the District enter into negotiations with the City of Little Rock to reach an agreement for mutual funding and use of the Mitchell site. C, n :Z: ID -0 6i ~
E -<o ::Cc.. =Im i5 n z-< !" 8 z ?i iz5 UI RECOMMENDATION: The Committee recommends the District accept the proposal submitted by The City of Little Roel< and begin formal negotiations for funding renovations and the future use of the Mitchell building. The Committee also recommends the Board make a decision regarding the reuse of this building as soon as possible. PREPARED BY: Robert M. Daugherty DATE: TO: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 November 17, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Additional Funding for Forest Heights Bond Project BACKGROUND: The Forest Heights Middle School renovation project was delayed for several months due to changes in program need, leadership and concerns from the Campus Leadership Team. Since these issues have been resolved, the architectural firm has been given approval to proceed with the schematic. RATIONALE: Funds provided through the 2000 millage election were directed toward renovating the original classrooms which are currently in poor condition. The present appearance is an aversion to prospective parents and potential students. Under the revised scope of work, curb appeal will be enhanced because two of the original classroom buildings will be replaced by new ones with bright, modern classrooms containing an increased utilization of natural light. The current project also entails major maintenance work to the gymnasium roofs, upgrading the locker room and support facilities, and an expansion with a stage which will allow the cafeteria to support school programs. The campus appearance will be enhanced by landscaping and covered walkways to the newly constructed facilities. In addition there will be driveway changes in order to facilitate the drop off and pick up of students. It is believed that these changes will attract more middle school-bound students to the District than are now choosing to attend. FUNDING: Escalating prices and the revised scope of work have resulted in a shortfall of approximately $2.5 million (see attached worksheet). Funding for this project will come from the Bond Contingency Fund that has developed from previously completed projects. This is not to be confused with interest earnings that have accrued to date.

PREPARED BY: Mark D. Milhollen Chief Financial Officer LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 DATE: TO: November 17, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Additional Funding for Child Nutrition Bond Project BACKGROUND: The Child Nutrition administrative offices are currently located underneath the west stands of Quigley Stadium. The warehouse facility is attached to the south end of the administrative site but not underneath the stadium seating area. Over time, weather conditions have created issues for the administrative portion of the building. RATIONALE: The permanent solution is to build a new modernized free-standing modular office building south of the present warehouse. This location is on land currently not being utilized but within the walled confines of the Quigley Stadium property. This location was chosen because of its proximity to the warehouse and the interconnectivity of the functions of both facilities that are necessary to properly feed and distribute food to all of the District's students. FUNDING: Current cost estimates for this project are approximately $396,000 but can be offset by available funds of $13,000 leaving a shortfall of $383,000. Funding for this project will come from the Bond Contingency Fund that has developed from previously completed projects. This is not to be confused with interest earnings that have accrued to date. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the requested $383,000 additional funding for this project which will upgrade and modernize a facility that provides service to our students.
