Steele, Superintendent of Schools Request for Determination on Allowable Desegregation Costs eCES"' WR 2 1 3 In keeping with efforts to ensure that desegregation funds are used in an appropriate way, the Little Rock School District (LRSD) submits for your consideration the following expenditure estimates for planned desegregation activities: 1. CurriculumAudit -- A description of this activity, as written in the January 2, 1990 Trl-Dlstrlct Desegregation Plan Is enclosed as Exhibit I. Current estimates on the cost for this activity are $5,000 for 1990-91 and $50,000 for 1991-92. Original cost estimates provided by LRSD for the curriculum audit were $5,000 for 1990-91 and $100,000 for 1991-92. It is our belief that the curriculum audit should be accomplished during the first semester of the 1990-91 school year to provide maximum effectiveness in the development of plans for reducing disparity in the academic achievement of students. Further, we believe that It would be beneficial to have advanced training in the 1989-90 school school year for two or more staff members who will serve on the internal audit team. This approach will permit members of the internal audit team to become familiar with the audit process and thus enable preparation of Information for use by the external audit team. 2. Twg-Run Bus SysteiR -- Exhibit II provides details on changing from a three-run to a two-run bus system. At this time, it is estimated that the annual cost for this part of the Desegregation Plan will be $600,000 for 1990-91 plus increases 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501)374-3361 of three percent for the next four years of the capital lease payment period. Revised costs estimates will be provided no later than the end of the five year payment period. We have been advised that an order for new buses should be placed no later than April 2, 1990 to ensure delivery for the beginning of the 1990-91 school year. 3. Dunbar lujilsx.High SchQflX facilities -- Information on Magnet Schools and Programs required by the Tri-Dlstrict Desegregation Plan is enclosed as Exhibit III. According to the Plan, Dunbar Junior High School will open in the fall of 1990 as an Interdistrict Magnet School for International Studies and for Gifted and Talented Education. A joint planning committee has de- veloped recommendations on facilities renovations that would be appropriate to the themes at Dunbar and would enhance recruitment of students to the new Interdistrict Magnet School. Cost estimates for initial renovations at Dunbar are enclosed as Exhibit IV. We are seeking approval on the described renovations at this time so that work might proceed on schedule. Additional estimates will be submitted as planning continues on Dunbar.From

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT The Little Rock School District has identified three problems related to equity in the academic achievement of its students. First, disparity continues between black and white achievement, as evidenced by grades and standardized tests. Second, black and white students are disproportionately represented in certain classes, programs, and activities. And third. the level of learning expected from students often varies according to a student's race. These problems will be addressed in the following ways: Problem One
Disparity in Educational Achievement Despite years of awareness of the problem and numerous attempts to combat it, the disparity in educational achievement between black and white students continues, worsening as students move from grade to grade. The Little Rock School District will develop the following programs to address this problem. Five-Year Program Review
The district will immediately develop a five-year schedule for the review of all courses and including incentive programs, and magnet schools. to determine whether their content is sufficiently challenging, students. relevant, and enriching to all 5Curriculum Audit
The Little Rock School District will conduct a "curriculum audit" of instructional programs and services during the next schedule, five years according to a prearranged in order to assess their effectiveness for all students. Programs to be audited include, but are not limited to: Art Chapter 1 Reading and Math Drug Education Foreign Languages Four-Year-Old Program Gifted and Talented Education Guidance and Counseling Homework Centers Kindergarten Language Arts Learning Lab Library-Media Mathematics Music Physical Education, Health, and Nutrition Education Program for Accelerated Learning (PAL) Reading Science Social Studies Special Education Vocational Education The first programs to be audited will include Chapter 1 Reading and Math, Guidance and Counseling, PAL Learning Lab, and Foreign Languages. The purpose of the review will be to determine whether programs need to be modified to increase their educational value to students. In some cases programs may need to be eliminated or drastically changed.

This review will be done yearly so that problems which become apparent can be quickly resolved. Instructional District will Management
seek The Little Rock School assistance Instructional Management System in for establishing an Technology now exists that can analyze every a student. student's learning style and achievement level, predict success or failure in school based on certain factors, and prescribe the necessary interventions in a timely manner. The 6district will immediately engage experts in instructional technology to devise such a system. It should be noted that this approach is intended to benefit the successful as well as the unsuccessful student. The district will attempt to have this program in place by 1991-92. Problem Two: Disproportionate Representation in Programs The disproportion representation of blacks and whites is not a problem that can be addressed by simplistic solutions such as quotas or percentages, which are often humiliating and frustrating to students. All students, both the gifted and the low-achieving. must be provided every opportunity to excel, contribute, produce. and be challenged in school. A necessary precondition for this to occur is a strong basic education for all students beginning with kindergarten or before, and enrichment for disadvantaged children so they can compete with the more advantaged without losing ground over the years. Enrichment activities include additional or extended homework centers, summer learning programs, Saturday classes, extended day programs, academic incentive programs, and tutorial services. In schools that lack these programs, the district will allocate funds to establish at least one such program in each school. Principals, teachers, and guidance counselors can positively affect this problem. However, Boards of Education and administrators must support their efforts and insist on optimum learning opportunities for all students. The extent to which staff development can assist teachers and administrators in dealing with this problem will be discussed in the staff development section of this plan. 7F rom Tri-District Desegregation Plan January 2, 1990 Exhibit II DETAILS ON TWO-RUN BUS SYSTEM student Assignment Appeals Committee

For the 1989-90 school year, the Little Rock School District is using a three-run bus system with schools opening on the first run at 7:55 a.m., on the second run at 8:50 a.m., and on the third run at 9:40 a.m. For the 1990-91 school year, the Little Rock School District will use a two-run bus system with the first-run schools opening at 8 a.m. and the second-run schools opening at 8:50 a.m. The Little Rock School District will also attempt to have all 17elementary schools on the first run and all secondary schools on the second run. In order to move from a three-run to a two-run bus system, the Little Rock School District will need to acquire approximately forty additional buses before the 1990-91 school year and plan to replace approximately 15 to 20 buses per year, beginning in 1991-92 . Financing these purchases with capital leases should reduce the first-year impact on the budget. In addition. the two-run system will require approximately thirty additional drivers and two route supervisors. 18From: Exhibit III Tri-District Desegregation Plan - January 2, 1990 INFORMATION ON MAGNET SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS PROPOSED INTERDISTRICT MAGNET SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS 1990-91 1.

A joint planning committee of area businesses, school administrators from the three districts, staff. and parents will be formed to supplement present plans developed by the district. They will start Feb. 1, 1990, to develop international studies programs for both Dunbar Junior and Central High Schools. A pledge of cooperation and support has been secured from the Greater Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and from Arkansas-based businesses interested in seeing the schools of Arkansas succeed. Those area businesses include Systematics Inc., Stephens Inc., Jacuzzi, Maybelline, Timex, Orbit Valve, and TCBY. Other businesses will be approached to seek their assistance in this process. These corporations have significant international business interests. Central High School (10-12) A limited interdistrict magnet program will be offered at Central High School. Approximately 175 seats will be opened to students from North Little Rock, Pulaski County, and other neighboring districts at the beginning of the 1990-91 school year. Other seats will be made available to any student on a space available basis and in compliance with desegregation limits.

RSSznr Encl. Exhibit I - Security Exhibit II - Parkview Science Magnet SchoolExhibit I - Tri District Desenregation Plan - January 2, 1990 SECURITY SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS In the many meetings and forums held throughout Little Rock and Pulaski County last fall, a recurring theme was the concern of parents, black and white, about school safety and security. These themes involved apprehension about the safety of children in and around schools, and with black parents and community members. concern about the disproportionate numbers of black students suspended and expelled, particularly black male students. School programs in desegregated settings will suffer greatly if positive discipline policies aren't consistently and equitably enforced. Parents and community members must be involved in the preparation of programs to deal with this important problem. involving human relations, prejudice reduction, Staff development and discipline is an essential element of any program. The districts have included in their plans excellent suggestions regarding codes of conduct, security forces, and parent and community involvement. These plans must go forward in addition to recommendations contained in this report. The school principal is the key to this effort. School principals must be concerned about the safety of children in and around schools, and their leadership is essential in providing a safe school environment for children. For this reason, selection of school principals, inservice training in the area of discipline 14 . Establish a school-based student attendance incentive system at each school. discipline and 5. Activate discipline/attendance intervention teams at schools. Mandate that the pupil services team will do monitoring and involve the counselor with students who have discipline/attendance problems. 6.

Establish discipline-review committee and sub-committees to include principals, staff, patrons, students, and at least one Board member to review discipline data and recommend modifications to ensure equity of policies and policy administration. The committee will be involved in the process of analysis of data and planning for reducing disparities in discipline. 8. Appoint a joint committee with Pulaski County Special School District and North Little Rock School District to coordinate discipline policies. 9. Put in place alternatives to suspension across the district with at least one such intervention to be placed at each school. Safety and Security To parents whose children may be attending school in a part of the community that is unfamiliar to them, the issue of safety and security is extremely important. The Little Rock School District Board of Directors is determined to have safe, secure schools for children. Therefore, the following are proposed: 1. Establish an Office of Safety and Security with a coordinator and approximately thirty safety supervisors who will patrol campuses. follow and/or ride school buses, and perform other duties intended to protect the safety and security of school children. Salaries for safety supervisors will be in the $20,000 range. 2. Establish by 1990-91 a two-run bus system. thus eliminating a system requiring junior high students to begin their school day at 9:40 a.m. 12Exhibit II - Little Rock School District Proposed Desegregation Plan - January 31, 1989 PARKVIEW SCIENCE MAGNET SCHOOL Overview Parkview became < ' 1987-88 school year, arts, drama, and dance interdistrict^ Fine Arts Magnet School A specialized curriculum in music, - --------- is part of the magnet program, the fine arts program has attracted for the 1988-89 school year. for the visual Although lot me 19HH flQ approximately 815 students students sho?J nF school plant is still over 150 students short of capacity. m anticipation remaining undercapacity in the future and to ror students graduating Magnet Schools, of the facility _ -- provide continuity Magnet Schools, the crB'atJ^of - Math/Science and Arts Sver'^a thr.l'?'

At least one parent recruiter and one data entry operator will be added on a permanent basis. These individuals will be needed to accommodate the additional magnet, incentive school, and pre-kindergarten options that will be created by the long-term student assignment plan. Address Changes
All students will be required to report address changes immediately to the school's main office. Students who change addresses will have the option (if space is available and the assignment complies with desegregation requirements) to attend their new attendance zone schools or to remain at their current schools. The district will not be responsible for transportation if students elect to remain at their current schools. 16OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING 201 EAST MARKHAM, SUITE 510 HERITAGE WEST BUILDING LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 Date: August 12, 1991 From: Brown To: Ruth Steele Subject: Financial Monitoring As we discussed on the phone this morning. Bob Morgan, the financial monitor for ODM, is developing a system for monitoring the desegregation expenditures of the Pulaski County school districts. Joining Bob in this task will be the Arkansas Financial Group whom we have contracted to assist in the development and implementation of the financial monitoring process. Members of the Financial Group are Rick Adkins, Cynthia Conger, and Ashvin Vibhakar. Bob will be contacting Jim Ivey very soon to arrange a meeting between Bob, the Arkansas Financial Group, and your staff. Bob particularly wants to include Jim Ivey, Mark MilhoUen, David Kingsella, James Jennings, and Tony Wood in this initial meeting. Any other members of your staff whom you might also wish to participate will be very welcome. As much as possible, we want the ODM financial monitoring system to be a logical outgrowth of the financial accounting system which is already in place in the LRSD. As we work to get a feel for the "set up" of LRSD financial records, well be contacting your auditors, Thomas and Thomas, and asking them to give us an overview of their auditing procedures. Will you please contact Don Smith at Thomas and Thomas to authorize the firm to discuss the LRSD audit records with us?

Attached is a narrative and worksheet showing the amount of funds paid to the three school districts in Pulaski County by the State of Arkansas during the 2000- 2001 school year. It is similar to the one I did earlier except it acknowledges the pooling agreement between LRSD and PCSSD and the earlier one did not. You will see on Line 19 of the worksheet that I have computed the funds that would come to the Districts if M-to-M students were placed back in the State Aid formula and have netted out the results of that on line 20. Im sorry this has taken so long. Please give me a call if you have questions or comments. incerely, Donald M. Stewart Chief Financial Officer Enclosures C: Dr, T.

These calculations are for the 2000-2001 school year and change from year to year based on funding levels and number of students served. The three school districts received approximately $42.3 milhon for the following purposes. Magnet School Operation ($11.2 milhon) M-to-M transfer payments ($13.8 milhon) Magnet and M-to-M transportation ($5.86 milhon) Teacher Retirement & Health Insurance ($11.42 milhon) In addition there was a small payment to each District for Workers Compensation that is not shown on this worksheet and as of the 2001-2002 school year these payments have ceased. These payments are divided among the three Pulaski County Districts utilizing various methods and result in annual payments to the Districts on behalf of district students as follows. LRSD ($20.89 million) NLRSD ($5.13 million) PCSSD ($16.26 million) M-to-M Funding: Currently M-to-M transfer students are removed from the district enrollment prior to State Equalization Aid computations. If these students were not being funded through the separate M-to-M stipulation they would be ehgible for State Equalization Aid and would have created approximately $9 million during the 2000-2001 school year. Under the stipulated agreement, total State payments for M-to-M students was $13.8 milhon therefore the net gain to the districts from this stipulation for the 2000-2001 school year was $4.8 milhon. LRSD is cuirently sending a larger number (1,147) of M-to-M students than it receives (369) and also, through the pooling agreement, must pay to PCSSD $.4 milhon for the education of M-to-M students. Because of these provisions, doing away with the M-to-M provision would actually result in an increase in aid to the LRSD of approximately $1.76 million, while NLRSD would lose $1 milhon and PCSSD would lose $5.57 milhon.Sr district, LRSD would be for educating approximately 778 students xhoxi, fewer students and PCSSD would educate 697 fewer students. responsible more than currently, NLRSD would educate 81 Magnet Fundinp
Magnet funding is limited to students in th located in LRSD. These students are included to the homeXtrict the ori^al Stipulated Magnet Schools, all membership (ADM) for equahzation aid s average daily - J L 1 purposes. In addition to this funding source the Slate IS required to fund one half of the cost of educating these students. Tins amount is calculated from the Magnet Review Committee s'ctok ' Th behalf of all stutoeZlWfa ' schools. The approved amount for the 2000-2001 school year was approximately SI 1.2 submissions and is paid directly to the LRSD million. The amount paid on behalf of each districts students was: LRSD ($6.92 million) NLRSD ($1.43 million) PCSSD ($2.85 million). Magnet & M-to-M Transportation: The three school districts in Pulaski County are currently paid under a stipulated ^d^M to of P-oviding transportation for all d M-to-M students, mcludmg expenses for getting these students Magnet activities and events. The costs for the 2000-2001 school to after school year was: LRSD ($3.39 million) NLRSD ($.6 million) PCSSD ($1.92 million) Teacher Retirement & Health Insurance: Dunng the 2000-2001 school year the school districts in Pulaski County received pproximately $11.4 million to offset teacher retirement and health insurance costs ' y a number of factors although it has been a fairly stable number the past several years.

The shortfall could jeopardize any support that the states largest district might give to recent legislative changes in school funding laws. Two special masters have been appointed by the Arkansas Supreme Court y .'5 ! evaluate to Stewart changes ap- proved by lawmakers. Alarmed Little Rock district leaders told the School Board on Thursday that discrepancies in the funding projections appear to be the result of an error in magnet student calculations, j Its just horrible, Don Stew- I art, the districts chief financial officer, told the board. It puts us in a whole lot different position than we would have been even yesterday. Tom Courtway, interim director for the Arkansas Department of Education, said Thursday night from his home that he was unaware of the discrepancy in the numbers for the Little Rock district and would talk with his staff and Little Rock district officials about it today. A Feb. 6 computer printout from the Arkansas Department of Education shows the projected state funding for all Arkansas school districts as the result of legislative changes in a session that concluded earlier this month. The printout bases $143 million in state funds for the Little Rock district on an average enrollment of 24,407 students. Stewart said the Little Rock count wrongly includes 1,426 students who attend Little Rock magnet schools but actually reSee SCHOOL, Page 4B (School Continued from Page 1B side in the North Little Rock or the Pulaski County Special school districts. Those students, he said, should be counted for the purpose of school district funding in the enrollment numbers for the North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special districts. Subtracting those 1,426 students from the Little Rock district count will cost the district at least $5,400 per student, or $7.7 million, in the first year of the new funding system, Stewart said. Thats about a 23 percent cut in the funding increase that district leaders thought would result from Act 59 of the second special legislative session of 2003. That school funding act and other new school reform laws are the target of a 60-day review by two special masters who are investigating how much progress the state has made in complying with the Supreme Courts 2002 ruling that declared the states school funding system unconstitutional. The masters are to report their findings to the Supreme Court on April 3. The Little Rock district was an intervening party in the Lake View School District class action lawsuit that challenged the school funding system and led to the Supreme Court order. Chris Heller, an attorney for the Little Rock district, said the district proved in the Lake View case that it could not provide an adequate education, particularly for poor students, with the resources it had at the time. The question we need to determine the answer to is will we be able to do that begirming in the 2004-05 school year with the resources that will then be available, Heller said. The district has until Thursday to present the districts views on the reform measures to other parties in the case in preparation for a hearing before the special masters Feb. 23 and 24. Heller said he told the masters earlier this week and the School Board on Thursday that the district can not take a position on whether the legislative measures are adequate until the district knows how the legislation will affect Little Rocks effort to provide an adequate education system. Stewart said that before getting the calculations which he believes are the latest available and the basis for the new legislation he was prepared to encourage the board to reserve judgment on the adequacy of the new system for a couple of years to see how the system will work. The shortfall in the anticipated revenue jeopardizes that stance on the new funding mechanism, he said. Courtway, from the Department of Education, said the new law allocates $5,400 per student plus additional funding for students who have special needs or are from low-income families. If there is a computer or a mathematical error, well look at it and correct it, he said, but he also said the error would likely be in the computations and not in the law or in the funding formula. I will look at that printout tomorrow. I'll have to visit with the people who prepared the figures and see what the reason for the discrepancy is, he said.
