The information gained from the Fourth Quarter Status Report Program Planning and Budget Document for Desegregation Programs provides additional direction for quality, interim and/or summative decision-making for the district. Specifically, programs with poor performance or expenditure problems will have been addressed with conective action continuously during the year rather than after the year is completed. The report enhances the districts ability to monitor and report achievements and expenditures relative to the programs identified in the Desegregation Plan for the most efficient and functional program planning on a quarterly basis. Several reporting practices should be noted. First, the fourth quarters report requires an additional volume for desegregation program reporting so that the growth and accumulation of the many achievements reported by schools and programs during the fiscal year of 1993-94 (FY 93-94) are accommodated. Consequently, the fourth quarters report for desegregation programs consists of Volume I (Seq #s 1-18) and Volume 11 (Seq #s 19-82). Principals and Central Office Administrators have reported achievements in the fourth quarters report. 09A is the designated sequence number for reporting by Principals, and 09B is the sequence number relative to Central Office Administrators reporting. The desegregation audit was completed during the third quarter. Additional desegregation obligations continue to be reflected in the program budget documents of the fourth quarter report. These additional obligations come from the desegregation audit which includes Court orders, ODM monitoring reports ordered by the Court, and Court Hearing transcripts. (Underlined print denotes additional desegregation obligations language.) A continued refinement and adjustment period throughout the fiscal year 1994-95 (FY 94-95) will be necessary for language clarification of the additional desegregation obligations. The Little Rock School District will endeavor to make the language more consistent and uniform with the spirit and intent of the various obligations. The Fourth Quarter Status Report Program Planning and Budget Document for Desegregation Programs contains the following: (1) The Mission Statement of Little Rock School District
(2) The Goals of Little Rock School District
(3) LRSD Quarterly Desegregation Expenses Summary
(4) Definitions and Data Elements
(5) Organization of the Report
(6) Program Budget Documents Grouped by Clusters
and, (7) The LRSD Organizational Chart. TLITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Little Rock School District is to provide a quality, integrated educational program which encourages all children to achieve their optimum academic, social, and emotional development. To that end, the students in the Little Rock School District will develop an appreciation for ethnic and cultural diversity, develop skills in problem solving and conflict resolution, and demonstrate mastery of the Districts curriculum. This will be achieved through the collaborative efforts of a Board, a dedicated and competent staff, and of parents and citizens committed to fairness, racial equity and adequate support for education.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT GOALS The LRSD will implement integrated educational programs that will ensure all students grow academically, socially and emotionally with emphasis on basic skills and academic enrichment while closing disparities in achievement. The LRSD will develop and maintain a staff that is well-trained and motivated. The Little Rock Board, administration, staff, and students will demonstrate in their day to day behavior that they accept each individual as a valued contributor to society and view cultural diversity among students, staff and the community as a valued resource upon which our community and nation can draw as we prepare for the 21st Century. The LRSD will solicit and secure financial and other resources that are necessary to fully support our schools, including our desegregation plan. The LRSD will provide a safe and orderly climate that is conducive to learning for all students. The LRSD will ensure that equity occurs in all phases of school activities and operations. 3Little Rock School District Quarterly Desegregation Expenses Page 1 Program Code 01 I 02 05 06 07 08 09 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 22 24 25 26 27 28 29 32 33 34 35 49 51 52 Program Name HIPPY_______________________________ 4-YEAR OLD PROGRAM______________ STUDENT HEARING OFFICER OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION EXTRA-CURRICULAR PARTICIPATION TEACHER RECRUITER STAFF DEVELOPMENT________________ ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAMS MULTICULTURAL PROGRAMS ACADEMIC INC GRANTS/FOCUSED ACT ORIGINAL MAGNETS SPECIAL EDUCATION @ WASHINGTON SECURITY____________________________ D/P SYSTEM STUDENT INFORMATION M-TO-M MAGNET SCHOOLS_________ EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING COMPUTERIZED TRANSP SYSTEM ROMINE INTERDISTRICT THEME_______ McClellan community school IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION____________ JOB FAIR TESTING ASSISTANCE LIBRARY SERVICES___________________ PARENT RECRUITING VIPS RECRUITING PREJUDICE REDUCTION______________ CONTINGENCY FUND_________________ OFFICE OF INCENTIVE SCHOOLS WRITING TO READ Budget 93~94 266,763.02 1,523,742.24 94,381.61 433,102.41 5,000.51 48,299.53 465,627.29 1,815,582.10 197,446.69 352,294.55 4,488,582.00 55,695.66 756,878.66 792,523.74 2,254,912.65 387,378.66 8,000.00 16,867.82 170,112.24 850,408.55 1,092.82 5,066.96 479,954.32 40,000.00 19,090.73 5,000.00 300,000.00 1,749.42 6,000.00 PTEs 21.0 66.5 2.0 10.0 1.0 7.0 70.0 1.0 38.0 4.0 64.0 4.0 2.0 25.0 30.0 2.0 YTD Expense 262,369.25 1,687,767.37 96,590.16 457,137.16 4,962.82 48,299.53 366,534.47 1,392,556.81 133,733.55 234,362.12 3,944,705.41 53,652.29 779,564.72 788,70249 1,882,670.33 416,602.39 7,420.00 66,047.22 170,112.24 733,656.11 1,667.23 4,608.61 369,772.74 22,400.02 34,478.27 0.00 0.00 29,669.61 0.00 :1st Quarter 31,286.27 138,599.40 22,646.74 100,300.49 4,962.62 9,695.16 69,080.94 158,246.87 19,443.65 26,486.11 _________0.00 8,178.16 91,086.44 593,453.22 287,665.69 149,459.45 _________0.00 0.00 62,090.64 70,413.69 153.36 ________75.16 61,580.87 ________10.26 5,857.49 0.00 _________0^ 76.77 0.00 2nd Quarter 69,819.02 387,557.20 27,973.65 111,334.76 _________0.00 10,475.07 81,164.99 499,040.09 23,307.68 3,860.21 _________0.00 12,566.50 213,556.49 122,425.14 451,600.64 167,904.22 0.00 0.00 38,451.48 195,153.72 212.33 1,643.82 110,920.97 2,012.50 8,585.07 0.00 ________OW 0.58 0.00 3rd Quarter 77,045.71 371,664.65 22,976.74 107,969.35 0.00 6,500.61 80,868.95 409,425.82 23,107.72 43,379.45 ________0.00 13,633.99 225,849.71 37,136.87 456,681.67 174,967.62 7,420.00 53,893.60 28,741.36 206,189.31 323.25 1,215.42 91,974.51 3,671.19 6,361.01 0.00 0.00 752.73 0.00 4th Quarter 84,238.25 789,946.12 22,990.85 137,512.56 _________0.00 21,626.67 137,399.59 325,846.03 67,874.50 160,636.35 3,944,705.41 19,273.64 249,092.08 35,687.26 686,722.33 (73,728.90

Program
A program is an established plan of operation, composed of a group or series of related activities which are carried out to serve a specific area of identified need. Program Description
A program description includes a purpose, scope and content, and participants/beneficiaries related to the respective program. Program Goal: A program goal is a broad guiding statement and should describe the overall aim(s), purpose(s), or ambition(s) of the specific program. Objectives: Program objectives present explicitly the desired impact the program should have on a problem. They should provide detail to the goals. Strategies: Strategies are the jobs, tasks, efforts, or actions undertaken in a program which contributes to the accomplishment of the objective. Achievements: Achievements are efforts, tasks, evidence, performance, or actions undertaken in a program which contributes to the accomplishment of the strategy. Achievements are placed in alpha order underneath the relative strategy. Evaluation Criteria: Evaluation criteria are statements which specify the end product of an objective or strategy and establish measurable and observable levels of performance of the product. Page: Each Program Budget Document uses one of two formatted pages. Program Sequence # (Seq. #): The purpose of this sequence number is to establish a reference for placing programs in order within the planning document. Revision Date
This date is the actual date the program document was first documented or last changed. Program Name: To eliminate confusion, an established name for each program has been assigned by the district planner. Program Code: This is a unique accounting code assigned by Financial Services which links budget and expenditure information to the associated program.Definitions and Data Elements (cont.) Primary Leader: The Primary Leader is the cabinet-level associate responsible for the management and operation of the respective program. Secondary Leader: The Secondary Leader is the associate who is back-up to the Primary and will function in that capacity in the absence of the Primary (i.e. the Program Manager or the Principal). District Goal Support: Each program directly supports at least one district goal. If more than one district goal is relative, then the appropriate district goals have been listed in descending priority order. Plan Reference: Specific plan and page references will directly cite one of the following desegregation documents: L = LRSD Desegregation Plan
I = Interdistrict Desegregation Plan
S = Settlement Agreement
C = Court Orders
T = Transcripts
P = Pleadings
M = Monitoring Reports. The format should be L23 or 113-20, for example. This element has been left blank if the program is not directly cited in one of the desegregation documents. Plan Reference Page Number: Source references listed for each objective and strategy have been used. If the objective or strategy is desegregation document related, the specific desegregation document and page upon which this objective or strategy has been found should be listed. If the objective or strategy is not related to a desegregation document, then whatever source was used has been listed. This element is contained on page 2 and succeeding pages. Beginning Date: This is the actual date a particular strategy began. For consistency, all dates should be printed in the following manner: MM/DD/YY, (09/30/93). Completion Date. This is the actual date a particular objective or strategy was completed. For consistency, all dates should be entered in the following format: MM/DD/YY, (09/30/93). If an activity toward a strategy has been started but not completed, a percent of completion (75%) should be entered. Responsibility: This is the name of the individual tasked with ensuring an activity has been accomplished. 7 VORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT This section provides guiding information about the text of the Fourth Quarter Status Report Program Planning and Budget Document for Desegregation Programs. Pagination. Every page in the text is numbered using Arabic numerals. Pages are consecutively numbered (e.g.,1,2,3,...) throughout the report at the bottom of the page beginning with the "Preface." The "Table of Contents" is on page i, page ii, and page iii. Print. The report employs two kinds of print density. Bold Print denotes original language of the desegregation document(s). Lighter print enclosed in parentheses (parenthetical statements) identifies language that is not literal in the desegregation document(s). The parenthetical statements of lighter print have been integrated throughout the program budget documents for clarification of original language in the desegregation document(s) and/or for providing information generalized from the original language of the desegregation document(s). Parenthetical information should not be construed to mean new legal obligations nor expansion of the obligations under the desegregation document(s). Underlined Print. Underlined Print denotes additional desegregation obligations language which has been inserted verbatim in the third quarter report of FY 93-94. These additional obligations come from the desegregation audit which includes Court orders, ODM monitoring reports ordered by the Court, and Court hearing transcripts. Clusters. Programs have been sorted into broad categories called clusters. Clusters include programs or schools grouped together because of similar and related operational functions. For convenience and management of the report, similar programs have been grouped into six color-coded clusters. To locate a program, determine the relative cluster of the program by using the "Table of Contents" and then refer to the program sequence number (Seq If) or page number for facilitating program reference in the report. School Operations Program (09A and 09B). The School Operations program description warrants that both Principals and Central Office Administrators provide quality planning for students. Therefore, the School Operations Program is divided into two sections for reporting achievements by both Principals and Central Office Administrators. The sequence number for reporting by Principals (i.e., schools) is 09A, and the sequence number for reporting by Central Office Administrators is 09B. For the fourth reporting period, the inclusionary dates cited in the "Beginning Date" column and "Completion Date" column are 04/01/94 and 06/30/94, respectively. These inclusionary dates represent the boundaries for the fourth quarter. The generic dates of 04/01/94 and 06/30/94 are used to uniform and conform reporting in the School Operations program budget documents. Specific date information relative to the achievements of Central Office Administrators follows each documented achievement. i Organization of the Report (continued) As a final note, the School Operations Program (09A) classifies the area, interdistrict, and magnet schools into three organizational levels: elementary, junior high, and senior high. Incentive Schools. The Incentive Schools cluster provides program reporting information for the following schools
Franklin, Garland, Rockefeller, Mitchell, Stephens and Rightsell. Non-Monetary Tracking. No entry on page one in the fiscal year program budget field and/or the quarter expenditure field of a Program Budget Document means desegregation money has not been tracked to the respective program.

The incentive school staffs and the LRSD departments responsible for desegregation, student recruitment and assignment, and planning and evaluation must assess the short-and longterm academic and social impact of any anticipated student reassignments. 4.10 The district must be able to demonstrate that the investment has paid the expected dividends for children, if not, changes must be made quickly before children are lost along with the settlement money. 07/01/93 07/01/93 07/01/93 07/01/93 06/30/94 06/30/94 06/30/94 06/30/94 i7 Page: Program Seq #: 20 Revision Date: July 26. 1994 Program Name

The district is bound to keep its pledge to double fund each incentive school for six years or as long as the school maintains an enrollment above 80% black. District must also keep in mind that the incentive schools educate only a small portion of the class that prevailed in the desegregation lawsuit. Ensure that a portion of the incentive school funding fulfills the plans commitment that "the children who are in racially-isolated settings are provided meaningful opportunities for desegregated expehences/activities." 4.12 The District is obligated to reserve 40 to 50% of seats in the incentive schools at the kindergarten level for white students. 07/01/93 07/01/93 06/30/94 6/30/94 * a8 Page: Program Seq #: 20 Revision Date: July 26. 1994 Program Name: Office of Desegregation/Student Assignment Program Code: 06 Primary Leader: Dr. C.

Program Goal: To implement a student assignment process that is consistent with the approved Desegregation Plan Plan Reference Page Number Objectives Strategies Beginning Date Completion Date Responsibility Evaluation Criteria 4.13 With regard to reserved seating at incentive schools, the court indicated that the parties' representations to the Eighth Circuit required that a target racial balance at incentive schools be 50% of each race, at least in the prekindergarten and kindergarten levels. It stated that this proportion is to guide the District in the number of seats which are initialiy reserved for pre- kindergarten and kindergarten students. The court "reluctantly" allowed seats reserved for white students to be released after a reasonable period only if timely, vigorous, and sustained recruitment efforts to fill the seats with white children were unsuccessful. The court stated that recruitment efforts must be thoroughiy documented by the District to the extent that the court can determine that the parties are diligentiv trying to recruit white students to the incentive schools before releasing any reserved seats. The court encourages the parties to implement any additional recruitment measures that would aid desegregation of the incentive schools as a whole. With regard to pupil-teacher ratio, the court ordered the maximum individual classroom enrollment at incentive schools would be as follows: 16 students in four- year old classes, as agreed by the parties
20 students in kinder-garten, 23 students in grades 1 through 3
25 students in grades 4 through 6. In addition, the court ordered that there be at least one full time instructional aide per incentive school classroom in those schools where any classroom contains more than 20 students.

The court granted the motion. The court notes that its approval of LRSDs motion to close Ish does not excuse LRSD from its obligation to recruit white students to desegregate the remaining incentive schools.

In its renewed petition, the court states LRSD must include the following information: the current capacity of Jefferson, any changes in school capacity that will resuH from the proposed construction: and the precise number of portable buildings that will be removed and the number that wiil remain at the school as a result of the proposed construction. 10.17 Prior to granting approval for the Williams Elementary School construction project, LRSD must provide the court with the following information: the school's current capacity
the number of square feet that will be added to the school by the construction: any change in the proportional allotment of the school's magnet seats among the LRSD, NLRSD, and the PCSSD
the precise number of portable buildings that will be removed and the number that will remain at the school as a result of the proposed construction
and clarify how the present administration area will be rearranged, i.e., a single muHi-putpose area or two separate areas, one for expanded cafeteria space and one for indoor recreation. 31 07/01/93 07/01/93 06/30/94 06/30/94Page: 21 Program Seq #: 20 Revision Date: July 26. 1994 Program Name

A. Fair High School, the LRSD must account for the 1,270 sguare feet difference between the 3,450 square feel of the old space and the 2,180 of new space and specify the exact number of new classrooms that will result from the construction. 10.19 This LRSD motion seeks approval of construction projects at Chicot, Jefferson, Williams and Fair. The court approved only the construction of the cafetorium at Chicot Etementary School (see Order dated April 30, 1993 (Docket No. 1815). The combination of the LRSD motion and the court Order approving it in part requires LRSD to construct a cafetorium at Chicot School which will increase the size of the school by approximately 3,000 square feet and have sufficient capacity to seat at one time more than one-half of the children enrolled at Chicot. The cafetorium should have been constructed in time for the beginning of the 1993-94 school year. 10.20 LRSD filed its "Special Study Jr. High Capacities and Projections" and "Custodial Calculation - Omaha Formula". The Jr. High Capacity Study contains no desegregation reguirements and is in the process of being revised. With respect to the calculation of the required number of custodians per building. LRSD has told the court that it utilizes the Omaha formula, that this calculation is checked at least once per year and that the number of full-time equivalent positions is adjusted where specific building requirements require an adjustment. 10 21 Limit enrollment in the four-year-old program to 18 students per class. 10.22 Limit enrollment in grades K-6 to class sizes that are consistent with state standards. 32 07/01/93 07/01/93 07/01/93 07/01/93 07/01/93 06/30/94 06/30/94 06/30/94 06/30/94 06/30/94Page: 22 Program Seq #: 20 Revision Date: duty 26, 1994 Program Name: Office of Desegregation/Student Assignment Program Code: 06 Primary Leader: Dr. C.

Lucy Lyon Program Description: Each child in the Little Rock School District should be given access to his/her full measure of the instructional resources. Library/media services will be designed to provide for extension and enrichment of basic skills and will also accommodate the varied learning styles of students in different instructional groups. Because students will have opportunities to work and learn in the library/media center under the direction of a trained teacher-librarian, they will be able to approach learning in a variety of ways, thus accommodating their individual styles and also providing for the additional "time on task" or enrichment that many students need in order to internalize the material initially presented. The Districts plan is to offer a library/media program to serve learners with diverse needs, background and abilities through a comprehensive program designed to better support District goals and student needs with regard to learning styles, relevance of instruction, support of multicultural school curriculum, and the application of learning to real-life situations. Library/media services will be designed to provide for extension and enrichment of basic skills and will also accommodate the varied teaming styles of students in different instructional groups. Students will have opportunities to work and learn in the library/media center under the direction of a trained teacher-librarian. The Little Rock School District's library/media program will fulfill its potential as an essential contributor to the District's successful desegregation plan. Upon implementation of the elementary program a review of the secondary program will commence with special attention being given to meeting the interests and needs of the Districts diverse population. District Goal Support: Goal #1 - Implement integrated educational programs that will ensure that all students grow academically, socially and emotionally with emphasis on basic skills and academic enrichment while closing disparities in achievement. Goal #2 - Develop and maintain a staff that is well-trained and motivated. Goal #3 - The Little Rock School Board, administration, staff, and students will demonstrate in their day to day behavior that they accept each individual as a valued contributor to society to society and view cultural diversity among students, staff and the community as a valued resource upon which our community and nation can draw as we prepare for the 21st Century. Goal #6 - Ensure that equity occurs in ail phases of school activities and operations. Program Goal: The district will provide each student with library/media services in accordance with the essential role outlined in the district's Desegregation Plan.
