The information gained from the First 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 corrective 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 as follows: Principals and Central Office Administrators have reported achievements in the first 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 of the 1993-94 fiscal year. Additional desegregation obligations continue to be reflected in the program budget documents of the first quarter report for fiscal year 1994-95. 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 will be necessary for language clarification and reference documentation 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 First 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) Qrganization 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. 3Little 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 19 22 24 25 26 27 28 29 32 33 34 35 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_________ KING INTERDISTRICT SCHOOL 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 Budget 94-95 326,723.78 1,943,683.64 96,144.76 511,645.41 7,000.00 45,592.16 352,932.12 1,615,303.00 259,837.33 320,000.00 4,501,756.00 56,853.51 761,286.72 712,289.22 374,496.22 1,333,107.64 421,787.43 8,000.00 69,631.59 170,000.00 794,173.67 1,092.82 5,066.96 427,230.43 40,000.00 40,680.19 5,000.00 FTE's 22.0 89.5 2.0 13.0 1.0 6.0 48.0 1.0 38.0 4.0 5.0 68.6 4.0 2.0 24.3 30.0 2.0 YTD Expense 61,678.75 292,010.10 22,243.00 108,505.23 __________0.00 13,998.89 71,968.88 209,511.74 45,936.67 11,939.29 0.00 10,223.45 117,300.43 606,929.33 49,630.60 210,448.33 179,438.34 0.00 52,813.00 45,764.00 107,224.23 452.34 1,395.74 49,509.88 27,755.74 2,418.93 0.00 1st Quarter 61,678.75 292,010.10 22,243.00 108,505.23 ________0.00 13,998.89 71,968.88 209,511.74 45,936.67 11,939.29 0.00 10,223.45 117,300.43 606,929.33 49,630.60 210,448.33 179,438.34 0.00 52,813.00 45,764.00 107,224.23 452.34 1,395.74 49,509.88 27,755.74 2,418.93 0.00 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4tK Quarter % Budget Spent. 18.88% 15.02% 23.13% 21.21% 0.00% 30.70% 20.39% 12.97% 17.68% 3.73% 0.00% 17.98% 15.41% 85.21% 13.25% 15.79% 42.54% 0.00% 75.85% 26.92% 13.50% 41.39% 27.55% 11.59% 69.39% 5.95% 0.00% 4Little Rock School District Quarterly Desegregation Expenses Page 2 Program Code 49 51 52 53 54 56 57 59 61 64 65 66 72 73 74 75 Program Name CONTINGENCY FUND OFFICE OF INCENTIVE SCHOOLS WRITING TO READ__________________ SCIENCE LABS COMPUTER LABS___________________ COMPUTER LOAN PROGRAM EXTENDED DAY_________________ FIELD TRIPS________________________ TRANSPORTATION (ADD'L) INSTRUCTIONAL AIDES EXTENDED YEAR INCENTIVE/RECOGNmON____________ RECOMMENDED STAFFING REQUIRED STAFF DEVELOPMENT TEACHER STIPENDS/INSERVICE OTHER INCENTIVE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES TOTAL Budget 94-95 ___________0.00 ___________0.00 ___________0.00 ___________0.00 ___________0.00 ___________0.00 493,723.62 25,550.00 15,000.00 399,532.68 61,566.93 11,524.35 742,246.94 46,882.67 62,349.90 63,971.87 17,143,665.56 FTE'a 42.0 31.0 433.4 YTD EXpdhsd ___________0.00 ___________0.00 ___________0.00 ___________0^ 0.00 ___________0.00 8,353.68 ________436.00 0.00 45,398.54 51,617.91 0.00 62,516.30 _______4,284.01 ________625.00 1,403.78 2,493,732.111 1st Quarter _________0.00 _________ow 0.00 _________0^00 0.00 _________0.00 8,353.68 ______436.00 0.00 45,398.54 51,617.91 0.00 82,516.30 4,284.01 625.00 1,403.78 2,493,ragitt 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter % Budgrt Spent 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 1.69% 1.71% 0.00% 11.36% 63.84% 0.00% 11.12% 9.14% 1.00% 1.67% 14.35% 5DEFINITIONS AND DATA ELEMENTS The following are definitions of terms and data elements used in the Program Budget Documents.

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. Wnt. The report employs two kinds of priiit 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 parenthetic^ 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 docunient(s). Underlined Print. Underlined Print denotes additional desegregation obligations language which was inserted verbatim in the third quarter report of FY 93-94 as a result of the desegregation audit. 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 separating 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 K) 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 first reporting period, the inclusionary dates cited in the "Beginning Date" column and "Completion Date" column are 07/01/94 and 06/30/95, respectively. These inclusionary dates represent the boundaries for the first quarter. The generic dates of 07/01/94 and 06/30/95 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. 8 IOrganization 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 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.
