Feo i 9 11:52 No. OOI P.05 MAP INTERDISTRICT DESEGREGATION PLAN Little Rock School District North Little Rock School District Pulaski County Special School District April 29, 1992OVERVIEW 1. Objectives The objective of the parties is to develop and implement a comprehensive desegregation plan for school districts in Pulaski County. Such desegregation plan shall be based upon the following principles: A. All schools (students and faculty) should be racially balanced within goals reflective of previous applicable court orders and approved desegregation plans except as otherwise provided in this Plan. B. There will be established Interdistrict Schools which shall seek to obtain a ratio of between 60 percent and 40 percent of either race with the ideal goal of these Interdistrict Schools to be 50 percent black/white. Proposed Interdistrict Schools shall be phased-in to these ratios over time. The establishment of Interdistrict Schools and the method by which the seats of those schools are filled will allow for the desegregation of the Incentive Schools (to be discussed herein below) in an orderly and timely fashion as well as allow for the desegregation of the other schools in Pulaski County. n. Interdistrict Schools There shall be interdistrict cooperation in developing the thematic programs at the Interdistrict Schools. Responsibility for operating and managing Interdistrict Schools shall rest primarily with the host district, subject to coordination and cooperation among the parties with respect to such matters as recruitment, theme selection, transportation, and other matters which are relevant to the interdistrict character of the facility. Six (6) new Interdistrict Schools will be established in the near term: A. B. C. D. E. F. Baker New Interdistrict School Romine Stephens Crystal Hill King 1989-90 Date Pending 1989-90 Date Pending 1992-93 Date Pending Facilities considered for construction or establishment in the future may include the Scipio A. Jones site. The Pulaski County Special School District commits that it will reserve up to 200 additional elementary seats for transferring black Little Rock School District students for a new Page 3 school to be constructed by a date approved by the Court at a site mutuaUy agreed to by aU of the parties. Any school constructed in Chenal VaUey will also be an Interdistrict School. The Interdistrict Schools shaU be populated primarily by black students from LRSD and by white students from PCSSD or beyond Pulaski County. PCSSD and LRSD wUl engage in early, rigorous and sustained recruitment efforts designed to maximize participation tn all Interdistrict Schools. m. Incentive Schools There shaU be a limited number of incentive schools, for a period of at least six years. sufficient to accommodate that number of black students who, by attending these schools, make it possible to achieve a student population in the remaining Little Rock schools (elementary area schools) of 55 percent black and 45 percent white with a variance of 5 percent. The recruitment of white students to these elementary area schools may increase the percentage of white students in these schools to a maximum percentage of 60 percent. The incentive schools shall be: Franklin, Garland, Ish, MitcheU, RightseU, RockefeUer, and Stephens. The incentive schools wiU be desegregated in phases through a combination of white recruitment into the incentive schools, and by reserving a designated number of seats in each incoming kindergarten class for the enroUment of white students. As new Interdistrict Schools are estabUshed those seats attributable to LRSD wiU be avaUable for those students who otherwise would or could have been assigned to an incentive school
any recruitment and/ or any assignment shaU be in accordance with each districts student assignment plan. Funding for the incentive schools shaU be set at two times the level for the elementary area schools to ensure that the chUdren who are in raciaUy-isolated settings are provided meaningful opportunities for desegregated experiences/ activities. To meet that goal, the parties shall utilize the services of a consultant who has demonstrable experience in developing and successfuUy implementing such programs in a majority-black educational setting. IV. Magnet Schools The Little Rock District shaU continue to operate the interdistrict magnet schools established in 1987-88. Those schools shall be racially balanced to a point of between 50 percent and 55 percent black. They shall continue to be open to students of the three districts. PCSSD, NLRSD, and LRSD wiU engage in recruitment efforts designed to maximize participation in magnet schools up to the levels set forth in the Courts February 27, 1987 Order. Page 4INTERDISTRICT DESEGREGATION PLAN STUDENT CHOICES AND OPTIONS The parties to this proposal believe that the recent success of the Magnet Schools in the Little Rock School District as well as the real potential for expansion of the Interdistrict Majority-to-Minority program should constitute the fundamental building blocks upon which a multi-district student assignment and transfer program should be built. These parties believe that these carefully crafted strategies should be further pursued and given a full opportunity to succeed before consideration is given to other assignment strategies. Preliminary recommendations are set forth below regarding the location of Interdistrict Schools
however, with certain exceptions, these parties do not presume to suggest final themes for Interdistrict Schools at this time. These parties believe that such decisions can more successfully be realized by full involvement of patrons, parents, and students in theme selection. To that end, these parties propose to conduct a series of carefully drawn parent/ patron public meetings and/or surveys designed to elicit public opinion and input concerning the selection of themes, the location of themes, and the implementation of themes. The parties further propose that, following an analysis of the data received from any surveys which may be conducted, a series of public meetings would be conducted to receive further comment regarding potential themes, suggestions for thematic refinement, and further input regarding theme location. The parties believe that this process will not only promote confidence in these expanded and new programs but will operate to generate curiosity about and enthusiasm for these expanded activities. A survey process and procedures schedule will be prepared by the respective districts for those Interdistrict Schools coming on line subsequent to the 89-90 school year. Those schedules will be completed on or before April 28,1989. 1. Interdistrict Schools The following Interdistrict Schools shall be built and/ or established in accordance with the schedule and/ or timetable herein: A. Baker Elementary: The transfer of black students from the presently configured Romine attendance area will be facilitated in order to compose Baker Elementary as an Interdistrict School. PCSSD will obtain the white students needed for this school by assigning those whites currently attending Baker Elementary to Baker Interdistrict School. PCSSD will likely provide additional geocode reassignment as such assignments presently affect Baker, Lawson and Robinson Elementary Schools. Such shifting will be for the dual purpose of Page 8 increasing white enrollment at Baker to compliment the recruitment of black students from Romine as well as to bring Lawson and Robinson into as close a racial balance with each other as is reasonably practicable with the use of Baker as an Interdistrict School. The extended-day program at Baker will be in its third year beginning with the 1989-90 school year. That program will be expanded as necessary to accommodate the black students transferring in from the Romine area. Baker Interdistrict School will carry a thematic program. The parties intend to conduct appropriate public meetings or parental contact, particularly in the Romine area, to determine the appropriate theme for this Interdistrict School. These meetings will be completed on or before February 24, 1989 by the respective districts desegregation office. PCSSD shall provide its full compensatory education program at the Baker Elementary Interdistrict School if 35 or more black students transfer from LRSD to Baker. B. New Interdistrict School: PCSSD will establish a new Interdistrict School at a site agreed upon by the parties. At least 200 seats will be available at the school for transferring Little Rock black students. Little Rock will target for recruitment those black students from those areas of LRSD which will most nearly facilitate LRSDs desegregation efforts. This will include, but will not be limited to, black students in downtown Little Rock satellite zones, or students who otherwise would or could attend an Incentive School. As an added feature of the new school. Little Rock black students will be permitted to attend a designated Incentive School for its after-school incentive program. The parties fully intend to conduct appropriate parental meetings with black parents in the LRSD to determine what theme or themes would be most appropriate or attractive. The targeted parents of LRSD blacks who will be recruited are not clearly identifiable. However, LRSD will make every effort to obtain comments from parents in the general target areas. The PCSSD will implement enhanced compensatory education at the school. The program wUl be implemented in sufficient scope to accommodate any Little Rock black children for whom the program is appropriate or necessary. C. Romine Elementary: Romine is to be converted into an Interdistrict School. Its student population will be composed of those students from the Romine attendance zones and white students recruited from PCSSD, particularly the western sector. White students returning to LRSD will likewise be recruited to Romine. PCSSD shall engage in early, rigorous and Page 9 sustained recruitment of white PCSSD students to assist in the desegregation of Romine Elementary School. Romine shall have an early childhood education program. A theme will be selected after appropriate parental meetings have been conducted. These meetings will be completed on or before February 24, 1989, by the respective districts desegregation office. D. Stephens Elementary: LRSD will build a new Stephens Elementary School operating at grades pre-K through 6 to be located near the 1-630 corridor between 1-30 and University Avenue. This school will be ready by a date approved by the Court. These parties propose that this elementary center be constructed, owned, and operated by the LRSD and draw its black student body largely from the students then attending the old Stephens School and its white student population, to the extent feasible, from both dependents of state government employees and PCSSD students. This school will have an early childhood program. The old Stephens School building will then be closed. E. Crystal Hill Area: PCSSD will construct and operate a new Interdistrict School to be opened by the 1992-93 school year, or as soon as reasonably practicable, in the general area of the intersection of 1-430 and MaumeUe Boulevard. This school will be partially populated by whites from PCSSD through mandatory assignment, if necessary, from the present Pine Forest and Oak Grove attendance areas to guarantee the requisite percentage of white students for this school. The black students enrolled at this school will be recruited from the Romine area in LRSD, from LRSD satellite zones near the Incentive School zones and those blacks who otherwise would have or could have attended an Incentive School. This school is necessary because the redesignation of Baker and Romine as Interdistrict Schools will not completely resolve the racial imbalance at Romine Elementary School during the 1989-90 school year. To help resolve that imbalance, PCSSD will construct this new school. PCSSD has agreed to increase capacity of the Crystal Hill Elementary School to 800 students with up to 399 seats reserved for black students transferring from Little Rock School District and, if space is available, from North Little Rock School District. This capacity would allow the desired number of blacks to be recruited from Romine to PCSSD. In addition to the other desegregative effects outlined above, this school will have the further desired desegregative effect of freeing seats at Pine Forest Elementary as well as Oak Grove Elementary for the further interdistrict (and, in the case of the PCSSD) intradistrict movement of black students to those elementary schools. Such a reduction in white presence Page 10 at Pine Forest and Oak Grove Elementaries will allow new black students to bring those two schools within the final court-approved range for desegregation. Additionally, the new school and the newly available seats at Pine Forest and Oak Grove will be available to blacks who occupy scattered-site housing to be erected in those areas beginning with the 1992-93 school year. F. King Elementary
LRSD will construct a new King Elementary School as a downtown Interdistrict School by a date approved by the Court. These parties propose that this facility be located in the general area bounded by Interstate 630 between 1-30 and University Avenues. These parties believe that this location would serve as a natural attractor for individuals who work within the governmental and business centers of Little Rock. G. Other Matters: All Interdistrict and Magnet Schools shall be open to students who reside outside Pulaski County. This action seems particularly appropriate since many of these people work in Little Rock but live outside the county and do not presently have the option of attending Interdistrict or Magnet Schools. Serious consideration should be given to the establishment of an alternative school in North Little Rock in 1989 or beyond. The parties recognize that such a facility might most appropriately be operated by the school districts. The parties will determine a timetable for construction of an Interdistrict School in the Chenal Valley area if such can be done in accordance with the desegregation requirements of the districts. n. Potential Interdistrict M-to-M Enhancements The parties recognize that additional programs and strategies need to be implemented to fully promote interdistrict majority-to-minority transfers. This Plan will permit the treatment of interdistrict transfers (including the NLRSD) where students are moving from a situation where their race is a greater proportion of the total student body of a school to a school where their race is a lesser proportion of the student body of a school as Interdistrict Majority-to- Minority transfers under the Courts Order. This type of transfer will be permitted only where it improves the desegregation of the sending and receiving school districts and does not compromise the intradistrict desegregation plan of the respective districts. A. North Pulaski High: An Air Force ROTC program, together with instructive flight simulator,, shall be established at North Pulaski High School. This will require additional construction at North Pulaski.

The Parent Recruiters will share and network recruitment strategies with each PT A. These strategies will focus on (1) the determination of those private school families who live within a specific schools attendance zone and (2) the recruitment of these students. Utilizing private school student directories and attendance zone maps, the PTAs can pinpoint those students living in their schools zone. Names of prospective kindergarten students can be obtained from directories of area pre-school and day-care facilities as well as informal sources in the community. The PTAs will be asked to contact these students families and provide opportunities to inform them about the attendance zone school. Suggested opportunities include open houses at the schools, coffees held in private homes, and invitations to school functions (carnivals, performances, spring picnic, etc.). The Parent Recruiters (and VIPS office) will provide direct assistance to those PTAs which have limited parental support and manpower. Also, the Parent Recruiters will meet bimonthly with the PT A Council and/or various PT A representatives to monitor recruitment activities. In an effort to contact those students who exited the Little Rock School District during implementation of the controlled choice assignment plan, the Parent Recruiters will obtain and forward to each school, computer printouts of students on the data base who are not presently enrolled in a district school.

EXHIBIT s s- 9 o S I REPORT ON THE IMPACT OF THE KING ATTENDANCE ZONE Prepared By: Leonard Thalmueller Marie Parker The new Martin Luther King, Junior Elementary School is being constructed in an area near the satellite attendance zones for Jefferson, Forest Park and Terry and near the attendance zones of Rightsell and Mitchell Elementary Schools. The vast majority of the students who live in these attendance zones is black. The new Martin Luther King Elementary school will be an interdistrict school. The Little Rock School District will petition the Court to designate the school an interdistrict magnet school. PAPAMEfERS Listed below are the parameters which were considered in establishing the attendance zones for -the new Martin Luther King, Junior (King) ElesMntary School: 1. The seating capacity of King will be 96. Thirty-six (36) of the 696 seats will be resezrved for two four-year-old classes (16 students per class). 2. 5. b. six hundred-sixty (660) of the seats will be reserved for students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade (k- 6) . '"he desegregation goal will be to achieve a racial balance of ifty percent black/white. a. b. The range of acceptable racial balance will be from 40% to 60% of either race. The four-year-old classes will -uek to obtain a racial balance of 50/50 of either race. King will have an attendance zone. The amount of busing will be minimized. The impact of changing attendance zones at other schools will be minimized. EXHIBIT "C" 3 . 4 . IPRQCEDVRES After a careful analysis of the data and the study of various combinations of zone blocks, the areas indicated in Attachment 1 are the proposed attendance zones for King, Rightsell, Washington and the Jefferson satellite zone. The zone blocks which were reassigned are indicated below and shown in Attachment 2. A. Zone blocks 0432, 0433, and 0438 were transferred from the Jefferson satellite zone to King. B. Zone blocks 0473, 0476, 0477, 0479, 0480 and 0485 were transferred from Ish to King. C. Zone block 0439 was transferred from Rightsell to King. D. Zone block 0439 at Rightsell was replaced with zone block 0455 from Washington. E. Zone blocks 0432, 0433, and 943S from the Jefferson satellite zone were replaced with 0111, 0112, 0121, 0122 and 0210 from Washington. P. The zone blocks from the Washington zone which were transferred to Jefferson and Rightsell were not replaced since the attendance zone for Washington contains more students than are needed at Washington. IMPACT ON SCHOOLS The school impacted most by the proposed attendance zone changes is Ish Elementary School. Ish is described below. The proposed relationship between King and 1. Students within the Ish attendance zone will be assigned to King but will have the option to remain at Ish. 2. Bus transportation will be provided for those students from the Ish attendance zone who go to the new King School. 3. Ish will remain open unless fewer than 100 students choose Ish, in which case all Ish students will be assigned to King, and Little Rock School District will work with the Ish community to building. determine an appropriate use for the Ish 2STUDENTS RESIDING IN ATTENDANCE ZONES The impact of the zone block assignments on the attendance zone of the schools involved are shown in the following table.
