The information gained from the Third Quarter Status Report Program Planning and Budget Document for Desegregation Programs provides additional direction for quality, interim decision-making for the district. Specifically, programs with poor performance or expenditure problems are addressed with corrective action 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 modifications are inherent in the reporting for the third quarter. First, the third 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 third quarters report for desegregation programs consists of Volume I (Seq #s 1-18) and Volume II (Seq #s 19-82). An additional modification in the desegregation report includes a change in the reporting of the School Operations Program. Principals and Central Office Administrators will report achievements. 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 has been completed. Additional desegregation obligations are reflected in the program budget documents of the third quarter report. 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 hopes to make the language more consistent and uniformed with the spirit and intent of the various obligations. The Third 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. 1LITTLE 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. 21. 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. 35/4/94 Little Rock School District Quarterly Desegregation Expenses Page 1 Program Code 01 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 35,188.38 465,627.29 1,815,582.10 197,446.69 352,294.55 3,914,000.00 55,695.66 756,878.66 792,523.74 2,254,912.66 387,378.66 8,000.00 69,680.82 170,112.24 850,408.55 1,092.82 5,066.96 479,954.32 40,000.00 34,671.18 5,000.00 300,000.00 1,749.42 6,009.00 4 FTE*s 21 67 2 10 1 7 70 1 38 4 74 4 2 25 30 2 YTD Expense 178,151.00 897,821.25 73,599.33 319,624.60 4,962.82 26,670.86 231,134.88 1,066,712.78 65,859.05 73,725.77 0.00 34,378.65 530,492.64 753,015.23 1,195,948.00 492,331.29 7,420.00 53,893.60 149,283.48 471,756.72 688.96 2,934.40 264,476.35 5,693.95 20,803.57 0.00 0.00 830.08 0.00 1st Quarter 31,286.27 138,599.40 22,646.74 100,300.49 4,962.82 9,695.18 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 82,090.64 70,413.69 153.38 75.16 61,580.87 10.26 5,857.49 0.00 0.00 76.77 0.00 2nd Quarter 69,819.02 387,557.20 27,973.85 111,334.76 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 0.00 0.58 0.00 3rd Quarter 77,045.71 371,664.65 22,978.74 107,989.35 0.00 6,500.61 80,888.95 409,425.82 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 % Budget Spent 66.78% 58.92% 77.98% 73.80% 99.25% 75.79% 49.64% 58.75% 33.36% 20.93% 0.00% 61.73% 70.09% 95.01% 53.04% 127.09% 92.75% 77.34% 87.76% 55.47% 63.04% 57.91% 55.10% 14.23% 60.00% 0.00% 0.00% 47.45% 0.00%5/4/94 Little Rock School District Quarterly Desegregation Expenses Page 2 Program Code 53 54 56 57 59 61 64 65 66 72 73 74 75 Program Name SCIENCE LABS______________________ COMPUTER LABS___________________ COMPUTER LOAN PROGRAM_________ EXTENDED DAY_____________________ FIELD TRIPS________________________ TRANSPORTATION (ADDL)___________ INSTRUCTIONAL AIDES______________ EXTENDED YEAR____________________ INCENTIVE/RECOGNITION____________ RECOMMENDED STAFFING___________ REQUIRED STAFF DEVELOPMENT TEACHER STIPENDS/INSERVICE______ OTHER INCENTIVE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES TOTAL Budget 93-94 12,000.00 6,000.00 2,500.00 747,247.70 33,000.00 15,000.00 496,451.04 99,938.45 14,581.91 808,481.42 52,878.29 72,725.98 51,088.13 17,734,147.41 PTEs 42 31 431 YTD Expense 0.00 0.00 0.00 457,030.80 20,678.75 14,960.92 261,026.98 33,179.48 8,887.95 452,336.89 22,767.65 34,270.74 45,058.25 8,272,407.67 1st Quarter 0.00 0.00 0.00 25,550.48 3,210.95 0.00 38,306.87 31,884.03 1,428.45 58,107.81 1,459.85 24,542.02 20,724.59 2,136,064.74 2nd Quarter 0.00 0.00 0.00 192,460.04 7,404.63 14,960.92 114,714.15 1,295.45 3,093.35 190,828.11 16,290.74 5,393.24 11,775.22 3,()97i782i18 3rd Quarter _________ow 0.00 0.00 239,020.28 10,063.17 0.00 108,005.96 0.00 4,366.15 203,400.97 5,017.06 4,335.48 12,558.44 3,038,560.75 % Budget Spent 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 61.16% 62.66% 99.74% 52.58% 33.20% 60.95% 55.95% 43.06% 47.12% 88.20% 46.65% sDEFINITIONS AND DATA ELEMENTS The following are definitions of terms and data elements used in the Program Budget Documents. 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. 6Definitions 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. 7ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT This section provides guiding information about the text of the Third 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. 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 #) or page number for facilitating program reference in the report. School Operations Program (09A and 09B). Beginning the third reporting quarter for FY 93-94, the status report for desegregation programs reveals several changes in the reporting of the School Operations Program. First, 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 hereafter 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. Secondly, for the third reporting period, the inclusionary dates cited in the "Beginning Date" column and "Completion Date" column are 01/03/94 and 03/31/94, respectively. These inclusionary dates represent the boundaries for the third quarter. The generic dates of 01/03/94 and 03/31/94 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. 8Organization 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. Organizational Chart. An organizational chart is provided. 9CLUSTER BUDGET DOCUMENTS 10Curriculum Cluster * * * * * * * * HIPPY 4-Year Old Program/City Wide Early Childhood Education Program Academic Support Program Multicultural Curriculum Special Education Gifted Programs Federal Programs Vocational Education 11Program Seq #: 01 LRSD FY 93-94 PROGRAM BUDGET DOCUMENT Page: 1 Revision Date: May 7, 1994 Program Name: HIPPY (Home Instruction Program For Preschool Youngsters) Program Code: 01 Primary Leader: Estelle Matthis Secondary Leader: Marian Shead Program Description: HIPPY is a home based developmental program which recognizes the mother as the first significant teacher of the child.
