Sincerely, Arma Hart Associate DirectorOFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING 201 EAST MARKHAM, SUITE 510 HERITAGE WEST BUILDING LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 TO: Chris K Heller FROM: ,rt RE: Shortening the Incentive Day and Week DATE: March 26, 1991 These are questions that came to my mind after reading your memo to parents about shortening the Incentive Day and Week: 1. What are the educational benefits for children? 2 . Who were the persons involved in making the decision to change the time? (e.g., parents?) Was a committee formed representative of parents to help provide rational for this decision? 3. Were the academic, social, and emotional needs of all the students considered? 4 . What programs will/will not be offered to students as a result of this change? 5. Has the present Extended Day Program been evaluated to determine its strengths or weaknesses at each building site? 6 . Has the present program had ample time to become a success during the short time since the Court 7. 8. 9. Settlement Plan? approved the Have teachers been inserviced and/or been actively involved in the decisions of programs and activities that are in the Settlement Plan? Has a survey been done to determine whether parents are agreeable to having their child/children go to CARE, rather than stay longer in an Extended Day Program with certified personnel? Is there a possibility that after the Incentive Program has been carefully reviewed, you might desire to increase the time back to 5:30 p.m. next year?Chris Heller page 2 continued 10. Will there be a cut-off period for entrance of students who may later decide they want to go to CARE? 11. Does the following sentence have reference to Dunbar and the Incentive Schools? "Federal or state mandated programs (remedial reading, special education, gifted and talented) will be available during the core instructional day, with reinforcement activities available through extended day. week, or year programs. " Settlement Plan, Volume II, March 23, 1989) (page 02239, #18 of the LRSD 12. Will a bus be provided for capable students who may choose to stay until 3:30 for enrichment on activities in the specialized programs only? reinforcement 13. Will the CARE Program be physically able to accommodate all the children who may want to stay from 2:30-3:30 or possibly from 3:30-4:30? 14. Since CARE is a part of the Incentive Schools, will it address the special needs of children and not become babysitting service?" "a It seems to me that sending a letter "cold" to parents after selling them last year on the merits of Extended Day Programs, without discussing the pros and cons at a PTA meeting is risking losing positive school community relations. I would proceed cautiously with appropriate answers to these questions. 7' have already entertained them, I need to know what your answers If you are. Remember, the goal of the Incentive School Program is to raise student achievement. is to raise the level One of the objectives in reaching that goal of community. If the programs trust between the school and the are well planned. exciting. and stimulating, I dare say that no one child would not want to be there. If parents believed that their children wanted to be there and were getting high quality programs that met their needs, they would not be amenable to shortening the time agreed upon.

We are going to try a different procedure for extended day activities. We want to focus heavily on reading and math instruction and work toward academic improvement of all students. Homework center will be in the classroom on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 2:35 - 3:05 p.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the children will remain in their classroom for reading and math remediation and enrichment with equal time spent on each subject. Instruction will be determined by student needs as developed in the individual Student Education Plans. The Tuesday session will be from 3:05-4:30 p.m. and the Thursday session will be from 3:05-3:50 p.m. Wednesdays will be devoted to activities only. There will be two 45 minute sessions and students will be assigned activities according to their requests on a survey conducted earlier in the year. Wednesday activities will be from 3:05-4:30 p.m. Your child chose the following activities for the 1994-95 school year: FIRST SEMESTER : TUESDAY

SPANISH 2nd ACTIVITY: SCIENCE I hope you will be pleased with the new program format and the assigned activities.

Assistance was provided by the Assistant Superintendent during registration and throughout the duration of summer school. The office of Safety and Security provided two resource officers for 4 weeks. Remediation, reinforcement, and enrichment was provided for students in the areas of Reading, Language Arts, and.Math. The principal and assistant principal were highly visible and provided assistance to the staff... The transportation department did an outstanding job transporting students to and from their destination. The food service department provided nutritional snacks and lunch. Each classroom teacher sent home a weekly progress report in addition to interim reports and scheduled parent conferences. There was weekly communication from the school to all parents.

Parents were involved in the planning and development of this program. Every student received a survey to take home for parents to complete and return to their home school. The survey listed a variety of activities and provided space for parents to recommend activities not listed on the survey. The survey results from all Incentive schools were compiled and then used to determine the Summer Enrichment activities that would be provided to Incentive School students. The City of Little Rock Parks and Recreation had existing programs and activities in place that matched the needs and interests of many Incentive School students. The City Parks and Recreation cooperated with the Little Rock School District in efforts to place Incentive School students in appropriate existing programs at six sites. These sites were Bale Elementary School, Baseline Elementary School, Fair Park Elementary School, Romine Elementary School, Penick Boys Club, and Thrasher Boys and Girls Club. Other components of the Summer Enrichment Program for Incentive School students were provided at Rockefeller Incentive School. Enrichment in the areas of reading, math, music and art was provided at the Rockefeller site. Parents, students, site directors, and site teachers participated in the evaluation of the summer enrichment program. Interviews and questionnaires were utilized to collect data needed to evaluate the program. Evaluation results will be used to improve the quality of future summer enrichment programs. Please find attached a list of students who participated at each site by race, gender, and home school.Page 1 of 3 BAiE Student Name Thomas Akins Mashati Walker Ashley White Erica Cotton Sending School Franklin Franklin Franklin Franklin R/G BM BF BF BF Grade 2 5 5 4 BASELINE_________ Student Name Shannon Agnew Brandy Weyand April Weyand Tabithia Basinger Jeremy Harris Jessica Harris Nicholas Williams Brittany Berry Markel Ricks Sending School Rockefeller R/G WF WF WF WF BM BF BM BF BF Grade 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 1 1 FAIR PARK________ Dana'Zaire Snow Rashany Pittman Pecola Richardson Franklin BM BF BF 2 9 2 PENICK BOYS CLUB Rodney Jackson Jonathon Philllips Robert Scott John Phillips Jason Miller Kirkland Litzsey Elijah Jones______ Freddie Carroll Nelson Terry Derek Terry Franklin Mitchell Rightsell Rockefeller BM BM BM BM BM BM BM BM 5 6 3 3 1 2 4 5 ROCKEFELLER ART&MUSIC Jamaal Bosley Ivan Allen Robert Enlow Dedrick Logan Steven Lindsey Rhiana Cobb Rightsell Franklin Franklin Rightsell Garland Rockefeller BM BM BM BM BM BM BM WF 4 4 3 2 2 4Page 2 of 3 Michelle Butler Gabrielle Edwards Pjnber Missouri Sindy Thomas_____ Beattie Scott Lacretia Montgomery Jazzman Trice Troy Thomas Jonas Brewster Donte Howard Roosevelt Blackmon Ashley Kelley Alvictor Denton Melinda Simmons Kelsey Watson Christina Atkins Whitney Albert_____ Jamille Ticey James Ticey Michelle King______ Nick Spencer Leon Trice_______ Jessica Dirden_____ Calvin Hedgewood DeShonda Ellis_____ Sharonda Ellis Yolanda Criswell Darren Bond Vanita Lindsey Marie Giason VerySpecial Simmons Bradford Pippen____ Chris Hurvey Brandale Teasley Ashley Gilbert Reyone Snow Jasmine Dandridge Amanda Morgan Joe Wright Dara Mathi.s Rockefeller Franklin Franklin Garland Rockefeller Garland____ Garland Garland Mitchell Rockefeller Rightsell Mitchell Garland Mitchell Rockefeller Rockefeller Rockefeller Rockefeller Rockefeller Franklin ' Rockefeller ...

As is our custom, ODM is monitoring the extended year program of the incentive schools, and I am writing to request your help with data collection and with scheduling the monitoring visits. You indicated in our telephone conversation Monday that the format of extended year is being altered this year so that all remedial activities for incentive school students will be conducted at Franklin and King Elementary. You also indicated that all enrichment activities wilt be at Franklin. With that in mind, 1 have developed two data collection charts that may be helpful in reporting. If these do not fit our data collection needs, we can amend them in our meeting Thursday morning. Please provide us the data itemized below. 1. The number of incentive school students attending extended year remediation by sending school, race, and gender. 2. The number of incentive school students attending state-mandated summer school (K-5) by site, sending school, race, and gender. 3. The number of incentive school students attending extended year enrichment programs by activity, sending school, race, and gender. 4. The number of staff in the incentive school extended year program by activity, race, and gender. 5. A description of recruitment and enrollment activities with copies of letters, materials, brochures, and forms used in the process. 6. A copy of parent surveys or correspondence used in planning the extended year program. 7. A copy of the evaluation plan and a copy of the completed evaluation document when available. It may be that some of this information can be dealt with during our visit Thursday morning. Thank you for the cooperative manner shown ODM in these matters.

The pupil teacher ratio at Franklin was 9-1. The criteria for selection was based on teacher recommendation. Weekly progress reports were sent home to parents. Volunteers participated in the summer program as well as resource speakers. Laidlaw transit provided transportation and Safety and Security provided a full time security guard to monitor the building and grounds. The central office administrative staff was very supportive during the five week period. Parent conferences were held with all parents and a final progress report was forwarded to the home school. WEAKNESSES: The summer school administrative staff was not informed that several students had LE.Ps and also had special needs. STRENGTHS: Students who were not enrolled in the morning K/5 summer program participated in the Incentive School summer enrichment program. The following courses were offered: Hands-On Science, Hands-On Math, Music, Art, and Creative Dramatics. All students had the opportunity to select the course of their choice prior to the beginning of summer school. However, due to an overwhelming response in the area of art, it was necessary to develop a schedule that would provide enrichment in every area. Therefore, all students enrolled in the morning enrichment program participated in all courses. Consequently, this gave students an opportunity to participate in a full day of school from 8:00-3:00 five days per week.

As we discussed, I have enclosed the newspaper article spotlighting the after-school programs of Voyager Expanded Learning in Dallas and in other major cities. Perhaps the information which it contains will be of some benefit to the LRSD Incentive Schools Extended-Day Program. Again, kudos to you for conducting such efficient and effective facilitation sessions. I look forward to receiving the information which we generated, as well as a copy of the book, Winning Through Participation by Laura J. Spencer.
