1 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 1989 SETTLEMENT PLAN INCENTIVE SCHOOLS SECTIONINCENTIVE SCHOOL PROGRAM INTRODUCTION Beginning in the 1989-90 school year, the Little Rock School District will have eight (8) schools providing the incentive school program. Rockefeller may become an interdistrict school, but would continue to provide the incentive school program. The purpose Of the incentive school program is to promote and ensure academic excellence in schools that have been difficult to desegregate. It is believed that the incentive school program will not only compensate the victims of segregation. but the program will also serve as a tool for promoting meaningful and long-lasting desegregation in these schools and school district. in the entire The following schools will provide the incentive school program: -Franklin -Garland -Ish -Mitchell -Rightsell I -Rockefeller -Stephens -Washington In order to be successful, the incentive program must address the academic. social and emotional needs of all student participants . The incentive program must also serve as a recruit- 31 02233I ment tool for meeting the desegregation requirements in these schools. With the proper resources and expectations, the incentive school program will serve as a model of excellence for the county, state and nation. The success of the incentive school program is directly related to the success of the long-term desegregation plan in the Little Rock School District. In addition to the ongoing comprehensive programs in the incentive schools, the incentive school program committee will explore the possible use of a trust fund to provide future college scholarship incentives. By the end of October, 1999, the committee will determine the costs of implementing a scholarshio program for the students who attend incentive schools and will determine the feasibility of using trust funds to provide such an incentive. If .feasible, the committee will have the responsibility for establishing the guidelines and criteria to be used in allocating any resources to the students. The trust fund I would be used to provide an academic achievement incentive to students and would also assist parents and students in setting realistic goals for attending college. 3 02234H bl bl bl bl Incanrive School Program INCENTIVE SCHOOL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ths Olosorint for the incentive school -- - --------- program was developed by a committee or administrators, teachers, communitv reoresenta- The blueprint will ps used as the frameworx Lives anc oarents. teachers, cornmuni Tor soeci activities that are exoected to occur after court acoroval or the incentive school oroqram.

The District firmly believes that the success of any program depends on the opoortunity for the practitioners to make certain decisions at the local level. This document is hereby to the federal court and the community with the understanding her details will be developed. e the principals, teachers, parents and supmi tt: that fur ,rl I .he Incentive School Program Committee will continue to function until August 1, 1989. The committee will be expanded to include at least one parent from each incentive school attendance zone. On August 1, the committee will be restructured to function as a district-wide council of incentive school parents. The council will have two parent representatives from each incentive school. Also, four members at-large will be appointed by the Joshua Intervenors. The Incentive School Program Parent Council will he resoonsibie Tor monitoring all activities related to the incentive school program. The Parent Council will report to the Little Rock School District Board of Directors and Joshua Intervenors on a quarterly basis. a support. Academic achievement is the result of commitment, high expectations, strong belief that all children can learn, and broad-based community When these ideals are coupled wit.h the availability of rinancial resources, educational excellence prevails. It is certainly the belief of the District that all of these ideals will be evident in each incentive school. 1 f 02236 34K I SECTION ONE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT 5 I i 35 02237NCN7I7E SCHCCLS ACADEMIC PROGRAMS Ai'JO C'JPRICJL'JM DEVELOPMENT N Schools have the rssponsibi 1ity for expanding the scope of knowledge and for developing the rational, reflective, and critical capacities of all childre an. "The content of the education must be true, appropriate, and relevant. The oro- cesses of education are expected to be democratic and humane. The aim of education is to be the complete development of the person. I lence in educa In addition, exceln must prepare a student for self-knowledge and to become a contributing problem-solving member of his or her own community and the global society as well." (Saving the African-American Child, 193A) I The goals. he content of the academic programs, the instructional method- ologies, and the use of instructional technology in the Incentive Schools will be reflective of the intent to have excellence in education. Augmenting the academic program will be special student activities and social skills building programs implemented to meet the cognitive, social. emotional, and interest needs of the students.
