Parents for Public Schools is a non-profit, grass-roots volunteer organization comprised primarily of parents v^ho lx?lieve tlieir children receixe the best available education in public schools, and who actively recruit other parents to enroll their children into public schools. Parents for Public Schools seeks through its media campaigns to inform prospective school parents about the benefits of the diverse, high quality education available in the public schools. Parents for Public Schools has no official connection with any public school system, Do you have to be a parent to be a member of Parents for Public Schools? Absolutely not. .Membership is open to any person who supports our goals. While it is our experience that contact and testimony from a public school parent is the most powerful lobbying tool in convincing other parents to place their children in the public schools, all of our members mission is to encourage broad-based enrollment and support. How is Parents for Public Schools different from the PTA or PTSA? Parents for Public Schools serves a very different purpose from the PTA. Ultimately, the two organizations complement each other in significant ways. The primary function of Parents for Public Schools Is to recruit public school .students. Once those parents and students are in the public schools. Parents for Public Schtxils encourages atiive panicipation in the IHA or ITsA. .\ great number of Parents for Public Schools parents are leaders in their childrens .school's ITA chapters, PIA Is a child adx'ocacy association in the local school that Is also affiliated on the state and national level. PTA seeks to influence legislation, school policies and parental involvement. If your school does not have a PTA or PTSA, we want to encourage you to start one. Why form a chapter of Parents for Public Schools? Chapters have been founded in different communities for different reasons. In our founding city of Jackson, Mississippi, Parents for Public Schools was formed to help reverse 20 years of w'hite flight from the public schools and to demonstrate and publicize the economic, social and business development benefits that came to cities with strong public schools. In other cities, Parents for Public Schools was organized to counter social or economic stigmas placed upon families whose children attend public schools. While tliere are important advantages to public school education which are common to all public schools, every community has its own reasons to support its public school system. No matter what those reasons may be in your community, our .staff can help get your chapter started and organized to reach your specific goals.What are the benefits to my community of forming a Parents for Public Schools chapter? It is Itard indeed to .summarize ail the Ixmefils that flow from increa.sed community commitment to public education. Quality public schools ensure economic growth by attracting industry and businesses to our cities. Another benefe which results from broad-based enrollment is an ethnic, social and economic cohesiveness in our communities, and a better place for all of us to live and worii. Increased broad-based public school enrollment results in greater public involvement in school programs, increased corporate funding for schools, and increased voter support for school bond issues. What benefits does a Parents for Public Schools Chapter receive from the National office? First, affiliation with the national organization saves your chapter the considerable time, expense, and worry of applying for tax-exempt status. This makes raising money for your Parents for Public Schciols programs much easier. We will provide you with the Parents for Public Schools Chapter Manual which contains all the information and doaiments you will need to create and sustain \ our own chapter. We will provide continuing support with ideas for fundraising, successful organizational events, advertising, and a worid of other ways to get your group going and growing. What does it take to organize a Parents for Public Schools chapter? It takes a group of people with a commitment and a desire to work toward a common goal. It lake.s a willingness to talk to your friends and neigl)lx)rs, and the ability to get them to talk to their friends and neighlx)rs, It takes a willingnes.s to go to busines.s and community leaders to get their support and funding for Parents for Public Schools public awareness and media programs. In 1989 in Jackson, Mississippi, Parents for Public Schools was started with 26 parents. Two years later, we passed 700. It takes personal time and patience to build your chapter in your community, but the return to public schools is an idea whose lime has come. How is a Parents for Public Schools chapter structured? A chapter is formed by the incorporation of a non-profit corporation, election of directors and officers, adoption of bylaws and affiliation with Parents for Public Schools National. The national office will provide you with the necessan* forms for your use, as well as bylaws for your adoption. Once a chapter is officially formed, there are plenty of tasks and committee assignments for e\eryone who wants to lend a hand. Among these are: School NehK'orks Business Network Meetings/Programs Data Bank Realtor Relations Fundraising/Grants Research Special Ex ent.s Media Publicity Newsletter MemlK^iship Iltimately, a .successful Parents for Public Sch(X)l.s chapter is organized to maximize the talents of each of its volunteer memlK*r.s. Once you decide to organize a chapter, we'll provide all the information, documents, and technical advice you will need. Our chapters do everything they possibly can to spread the g(x>d word about the excellent educations their children are receiving in public schools. How do we get started? Simple.

Signature Date ODM_MTGS DOCB5070701 I *3 z / z^ -7'J0r Date: July 7,1995 To: Ann Brown From: Bill Mooney Subj: ODM and Robert Clowers Meetings Listing As you requested, I reviewed my notes covering the meetings listed in Russ Mayos exhibit, Meetings between ODM and Dr. Robert Clowers, Director of PRE. The LRSD list submitted by Russ Mayo was in rebuttal of comments I made on the stand citing the curtailment in communications from the LRSD in the last ten months. The purpose of the review was to determine who initiated these meetings in an attempt to show the actual direction of communication. The findings below tell the rest of the story, and show a definite trend of less communications being generated by the LRSD. In fact, most of the communication initiated by members of the LRSD was the Court-ordered cooperation on the workshops. If I waited for LRSD to initiate activity on the Program Planning and Budgeting Process (PPBP), I would be a very lonely planner. My testimony was that communications had dropped off
looking at this material provided by the LRSD you can see that they have not initiated a PPBP meeting since October 1994 and nothing in 1995. In my judgement, this history represents a curtailment in communications. I have tried to teach the LRSD to measure and evaluate not on effort but on effectiveness. It appears I have failed in this endeavor. Summary of communication history

''"''UB-uun Attd .! i FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1993 9B LRSD approves 94 calendar Vacation change, hearing on budget dominate discussion ' I BY CYNTHIA HOWELL
Democrat-Gazette Education Writer Approval of the 1993-94 school calendar and discussion i about an upcoming federal ' court hearing on budget cuts dominated a Little Rock School : Board agenda meeting Thursday.

I think this is one of those small things that has put soci- 'ety and schools on the path were on, board President John I Moore said. I think it is going in the wrong direction and Im opposed to it. The board voted 3-2 for the change, prompting laughter when Moore called for a roll call to see who the Christians are. Board members Moore, Dorsey Jackson and John Riggs IV voted for the change. Pat Gee and W.D. Bill Hamilton voted against it. Gee and Hamilton noted, however, that they are Christians. Hamilton said he thought calling the break winter vacation might prevent lawsuits.

Arkansas Democrat (gazette WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1993 LRSD chief reassures 70 on safety, PR, curriculum BY WAYNE JORDAN Democrat-Gazette Staff Writer Little Rock school Superintendent Dr. Henry P, Williams assured about 70 parents Tuesday that the school district was working to improve classroom safety, public relations and the curriculum. Williams was speaking at Rockefeller Incentive Elementary School, 700 E. 17th St., at the last of five community forums he has held at district schools since October. The forums were developed to allow school patrons and others to voice concerns about district operations and suggest how to improve the schools. They were also used to determine priorities for the 1994-95 budget year. Tuesday night, Williams said the district is developing programs in light of family failures to help potentially violent students solve problems non-vio- lently. There are other ways than using an Uzi, he said But he remindedparents that if a student persits in disruptive behavior or hreatens the safety of students aid teachers, he will be remced from school. One parent who livs on East 21st Street asked Wiliams why the schools dont domore to solve gang problems. She said the neighborhoods ais deteriorating and whites an leaving the inner city becaus of gang activity. Williams agreed hat more work needs to be done but said, Were educators, n4 policemen. Even so, the distrid was encouraged by the veryfew gang activities that have iccurred in the system this yeaj he said. Three parents exprssed disappointment at the mdias failure to report the gold things that are occurring in our schools. They urged Villiams to address that problei, and he said he would.
t TUESDAY. DECEMBER 7,1993 No decision on closing Garland, LRSD chief says BY CYNTHIA HOWELL , Democrat-Qazetle Education Writer No decision has been made to close Garland Incentive Elementary School, Little Rock Superintendent Henry Williams told parents Monday night at a community forum at the school. But the school board and district administrators will be studying central Little Rock demographics and the projected number of children in the area, Williams said. Those statistics may determine the fate of both Garland and Stephens Incentive Elementary. Both schools are in central Little Rock and have enrollments of under 300. Stephens is at 3700 W. IHth St. Garland is at 3615 W. 25th St. No one is saying Garland is closing. The board hasnt said so. I havent said so, William.s said. But he also said the board must consider ways to operate more efficiently and whether there will be enough children in the area to support two schools or a new school building. District officials must make a decision fairly soon about the schools particularly Stephens, as the district is obligated by its court-approved desegregation plan to rebuild Stephens as a considerably larger interdistrict school along the Interstate 630 corridor for the 1995 96 school year. School board members have discussed seeking permission in federal court to change the desegregation plan to retain Stephens as an incentive school. An incentive school gets extra money for special programs to improve the achievement level of black students and attract whites to the hard-to-desegre- gate schools. On another issue, a parent. Pearlie Creal-Pope, asked Williams to consider altering a policy that results in suspension of both students in any fight. She said the policy practically forces junior high students to join gangs for protection from attackers.Arkansas Democrat Igr (gazette > TUESDAY, APRIL 19,1994 LRSD to hold public meetings on courses The Little Rock School District will hold the first of three public meetings tonight to describe course offerings and registration information to junior and senior high school students and their parents.

Group meets out of court on schools Issues hashed out at LR steakhouse BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Dernocrat-Gazetle Education Writer Representatives of parties responsible for implementing the Little Rock School District's desegregation plan met Monday in the first of a series of meetings to resolve some disagreements outside the courtroom. The meeting reflected promises the parties made two weeks ago to each other and to U.S. District JiKlge Susan Webber Wright. School district officials said then that they would work more cooperatively with the federal Office of Desegregation Monitoring and the Joshua intervenors, who represent l)lack children in the school district. In return, John Walker, an attorney for the black children, withdrew his motion to have the school district declared in contempt of court for violating its desegregation plan. The meeting was at the Steak and Ale Restaurant at 2917 Cantrell Road. Little Rock Superintendent Henry Williams, school board President Linda Pondexter and federal desegregation monitor Ann Brown attended the session Monday. Frank Martin and Betty Mitchell of the Classroom Teachers Association were also there. Walker also attended, along with Chris Heller, an attorney for the school district, and Travis Creed, who represents teachers. The group decided to write a memorandum of understanding that would include commitments to modifying unworkable parts of the desegregation plan and improving the district's budget so the district can win release from federal court supervision. Walker said that cooperation among the parties should not usurp the powers of the district superintendent. But he also said that Brown, as the desegregation monitor. mast play a greater role in implementing and overseeing the desegregation plan. Most of the session Monday was spent discussing concerns of the dilTcrcnt parties. These Included teacher frustration over student discipline and mixed messages teachers get from changing administrators about what is expected of them. Walker objected to the districts use of police resource officers in schools. He said the officers treat black students more harshly and are a threat to the students and their parents. Walker said students and parents shouldnt be questioned by officers at school about matters not pertaining to school. Walker said the district does not appear to have the authority to stop the resource officers from making arrests at school. Walker also objected to changes in the principals at schools, saying the frequent principal reassign- menLs lead to a community perception that certain schools should be avoided. The group will meet again at 12:15 p.m. Monday in the Arkansas Education Association building.Arkansas Democrat |- * THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23,19^31 500 LRSD patrons ! petition school board for special meeting | I BY CYNTHIA HOWELL Democrat-Gazette Education Writer More than 500 patrons of the Little Rock School District petitioned the school board Wednesday for a special board meeting to hear concerns about the district.
