TBA Program Goal: To implement a student assignment process that is consistent with the approved Desegregation Plan Plan Reference Page Number Directives Strategies Beginning Date Completion Date Responsibility Evaluation Criteria 4.11 When making student assignments, keep in mind that there is a relationship between double funding and enrollment figures that represents the greatest return on investment. 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 60% black. District must also keep in mind that the incentive schools educate only a small portion of the class that prevailed in the desegregation tawsuit. 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 experiences/activities." 07/01/94 06/30/95 I 4.12 The District is obligated to reserve 40 to 50% of seats in the incentive schools at the kindergarten levei for white students. 07/01/94 06/30/95 4.12 Enrollment Data A.

It stated that this proportion is to guide the District In the number of seats which are initially reserved for prekindergarten 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 thoroughly documented by the District to the extent that the court can determine that the parties are diliqentlv 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: 18 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. 395Page: 9 Program Seq *: 20 Revision Date

Russell Mayo Secondary Leader: TBA Program Goal: To impiement a student assignment process that is consistent with the approved Desegregation Plan Plan Reference Page Number L 140 L 140 Objectives Strategies Beginning Date Completion Date Responsibility Evaluation Criteria (5.0 To implement Desegregation Transfers) 5.1 Junior and senior high school students may transfer to another school as long as the reassignment allows both the sending and receiving school to comply with the desegregation requirement and a seat is available. The minimum black percentage is 25 percent below the districtwide percentage of blacks in grades 7-12. The minimum and maximum black percentages constitute the desegregation requirement (for acceptable range) for a desegregation transfer. The desegregation requirements in secondary schools is that all schools will remain within a range of 12 1/2 percent above to 25 percent below the districtwide percentage of black students at each organizational level (i.e., high school and junior high school). 5.2 Elementary students may transfer to an incentive school only if such a transfer enhances desegregation at the incentive school. Desegregation transfers will be granted to elementary area schools that are difficult to desegregate. A. Requests for transfers were reviewed/approved in accordance with criteria. 5.3 A student may make two desegregation transfers at each organizational level (primary, intermediate, junior or senior high school). The purpose of the second desegregation transfer is to allow a student to return to his or her previous school assignment. A. Requests for desegregation transfers are reviewed to ensure compliance. 39G 07/01/94 07/01/94 07/01/94 07/01/94 07/01/94 06/30/95 06/30/95 97% 06/30/95 97% Assoc. Supt. for Desegregation Assoc.

The court notes that Its approval of LRSD's motion to close Ish does not excuse LRSD from its obligation to recruit white students to desegregate the remaining incentive schools. The court states that it will closely watch all proposed school closings and school capacitv alterations to determine whether there is a developing pattern of closing schools in areas largely inhabited by black citizens while increasing the capacitv of schools in areas largely inhabited by white citizens. 10.16 Court grants in part a motion of LRSD for approval of various construction projects. The court approves construction of a cafeteria at Chicot Elementary School as long as the new construction does not increase the schools capacitv. The construction project at Jefferson Elementary School is not approved because of potential effect of the attendance zones of the new King Interdistrict School on the Jefferson satellite zones. The court indicates that LRSD may petition the court for approval of the Jefferson construction after the attendance zones for King are firm and court approved. In its renewed petition, the court states LRSD must Include the following information: the current capacitv of Jefferson, any changes in school capacitv that will result from the proposed construction: and 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. 405 07/01/94 07/01/94 07/01/94 06/30/95 06/30/95 06/30/95Page: 19 Program Seq *: 20 Revision Date: November 17. 1994 Program Name: Office of Desegregation/Student Assignment Program Code: 06 Primary Leader: Dr. C.

TBA 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 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 Elementary 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 approximatelv 3.000 square feet and have sufficient capacitv 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 Protections" and "Custodial Cateuiation - Omaha Formuia". The Jr. High Capacitv Study contains no desegregation reguirements and is in the process of being revised. With respect to the calculation of the reguired 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 eguivalent positions is adjusted where specific building requirements require an adjustment. 10.21 Limit enrollment In the four-vear-okj program to 18 students per class.
