PCSSD, et al, 4:82-CV-00866 Dear Counsel: I'm delighted to report that Judge Andree Roaf has tentatively agreed to serve as the Director of the ODM. As you know, she has recently retired after a distinguished career on the State bench. If you have any objections to this appointment, please notify me by 5 p.m., Tuesday, June 5, 2007. She and I have not discussed salary and expenses in detail, but we must get this resolved forthwith. I have been thinking about an hourly rate with a cap. My idea is that she would bill you each month. With the Little Rock School District out of the case, I do not believe it will be a full-time job, although it may be pretty time consuming for Judge Roaf while she gets her sea legs. Page 1 of 2 - I would welcome your suggestions regarding salary/fee. Judge Roaf has agreed that, if she comes on board, she will assess personnel and office needs for the ODM. Judge Roaf will not be available for several days because she is scheduled to travel to Italy on a project for the American Bar Association. I would like to hear from you as soon as possible. Original to the Clerk of the Court cc: The Honorable Joe Thomas Ray The Honorable Andree Roaf Other Counsel of Record Page 2 of 2 Cordially, Isl Wm. R.Wilson, Jr. ......

PCSSD, et al, 4:82-CV-866 Dear Mr. Heller: RECEIVED JUN 2 8 2007 OFRCEOF DESEGREGATION MONITORING I held a telephone conference today with all the parties except the LRSD. The primary purpose was discussing Judge Roaf's appointment as the new Director of ODM. She was present during the telephone conference. Mr. Walker expressed the opinion that LRSD is still "in the case" for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the ODM, including Judge Roaf s salary. I had not given this point much thought, but had concluded that LRSD is "out" since it has been declared unitary. Unless, of course, the Court of A' ppeals declares to the contra' ry. I would like your response to this. You will probably want to order a transcript of the telephone conference before responding so that you can see Mr. Walker's specific points. Please let me have your response by noon, Wednesday, July 11, 2007. Original to the Clerk of the Court cc: The Honorable Joe Thomas Ray Other Counsel of Record Page 1 of 1 Cordially, /s/ Wm.

Mr. Steve Jones and Mr. Scott Richardson agreed with Mr. Walker's suggestion, and Mr. Sam Jones Page 1 of 2 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4127 Filed 06/27/2007 Page 2 of 2 . - stated that either method of compens~tion would be satisfactory with the Pulaski County Special School District.
