Little Rock Schools: Mitchell Elementary

T he Creative Dramatics Program at Mitchell encourages self expression through writing, speaking and per- forming creative dramatics, all of which enhance learning by personalizing the dramatic experiences. This, in turn, creates sensitivity toward all individuals and instills an appreciation for their uniqueness. At Mitchell we provide learning experiences that stimulate our students to communicate their intellectual, emotional, social and creative strengths. Students acquire an understanding of the five components of the Creative Dramatics Program: voice/diction, movement, costuming, makeup, and written script and/or adapted text. Self-confidence is promoted through the discipline of movement and dance, while a sense of community is reinforced through cooperative performing experiences. Both drama and dance are used as tools for expressing a culture's attitudes and beliefs. Students learn that drama mirrors life and they, like the characters, make choices which create significant change. The Mitchell Merry Makers," a drama club that meets during lunchtime, in addition to plays, puppetry and reader's theatre, provide diverse opportunities for student participation. An after school program includes ballet and creative dance. Mitchell's Creative Dramatics Program is interwoven into an excellent elementary core curriculum taught by a highly qualified staff. At Mitchell, students get a gentle push onto the stage of life. It's a setting for the future.

The school's new creed was prominently displayed in the foyer. New carpet had been installed in the second-floor hallway. Students were well-behaved and friendly. We also noted some areas needing attention. ODM observed several of these same problems during our May 1994 visit to the school and documented them in a letter filed with the Court on June 2, 1994. The problem areas now include: Exterior paint was peeling badly around the second floor windows. Extensive roof leaks had caused great damage to the ceilings and carpet in both the reading and math labs. These leaks began over a year ago. The library also had a serious problem with a roof leak that has left a gaping 4' x 3' hole in the ceiling. Window screens were missing. Exterior doors badly need repainting. Florescent lights in the cafeteria were missing their covers. Part of the campus fence was in such a poor state of repair that passersby had easy access to the school grounds. Work that should have been completed before children returned to school was left unfinished. Painters still had work to complete during the first week of school, and the contractor had not begun work on the re-roofing.5 ^11 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT Mitchell Elementary School 24*& Battery Streets Phone 324-2415 Little Rock, Arkansas 72206 May 12, 1994 Dr. Henry Williams LRSD Superintendent 810 W. Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 PEC r3ST\ NT,!-'! 7 MAY 17 199A Dr. Williams, OflicQ of Desegrei: h. 'J We, the undersigned have drafted this letter in response to the article in the Arknasas Democrat-Gazette, dated May 7th, regarding principal assigments. In reading the article, we found that our current principal. Dr. Samuel Branch has been reassigned and we're writing to let you know of our displeasure with this news. Dr.Branch has come to this year, from an institution of higher learning, far removed from the atmosphere and operation of elementary school. We want to let you know that we feel he needs at least another year at Mitchell School, before being moved, for two reasons:!) it sends a message to the community that our school is an unstable environment for students of any race and this thinking impairs our ability to recruit and 2) we would like for him to have an opportunity to perform the duties of a principal to the best of his ability since we trust that he was assigned to Mitchell initially for his ability. He has spent this year learning the ins and outs of the fairly complex Little Rock School District system. We wish to let you know that we want to give him a chance to utilize his strengths as an administrator. us, year an Please consider giving him an opportunity to do just that. Sincerely, Mitchell Elementary Parents cc: Judge Weber-WrightOffice of Desegregation Monitoring United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Ann S. Brown, Federal Monitor 201 East Markham, Suite 510 Heritage West Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501)376-6200 Fax (501) 371-0100 June 2, 1994 Fli-eo, eastern district The Honorable Susan Webber Wright U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Arkansas P.O. 3316 Little Rock, AR 72201 JUM - 2 139+ Bl/:. OEP CtERK Dear Judge Wright: During the process of monitoring the six incentive schools in the Little Rock School District (LRSD) this year, we recently concluded visits to Franklin, Garland, Mitchell, Rightsell, Stephens, and Rockefeller. We are presently preparing a comprehensive incentive school monitoring report that will include findings based upon ese on-site inspections. During our May visits to the incentive schools, we noted problems with the Franklin and Mitchell facilities that alarm us. Because our complete report will not be published until later this summer, I am filing this short, preliminary report to alert the Court and the parties to conditions at Franklin and Mitchell that need immediate correction before staff and students return to those buildings next school term. The comments are excerpted from the draft Facilities Section of our incentive school report and, therefore, include our positive observations as well as notations describing conditions needing prompt attention. The LRSD is presently petitioning the Court to close Stephens Incentive School, citing the declining condition" and "structural problems" of that facility as among the reasons for seeking to close it. By immediately tending to needed repairs at Franklin and Mitchell, the LRSD will be able to prevent declining conditions that could lead to structural problems at those two buildings. Quick attention to facility needs should help the district avoid any appearance that it is failing to maintain incentive schools as a basis for eventually closing them due to deterioration. Sincerely yours, Ann S. Brown Enc. CC: All Parties and Counsel of Record ODM Observations of the Facilities at Franklin and Mitchell Incentive Schools When the monitors visited the incentive schools in the spring of 1993-94, we noted several problems with the facilities at both Franklin and Mitchell. Below is our description of the conditions we observed at those two schools, followed by a summary list of problems that require immediate attention. Franklin: The Franklin facility has deteriorated visibly since the last monitoring visit we made during the 1992-93 school year. The roof leaks that have plagued the school for years persist, leaving damaged ceilings throughout the building. Gaping holes mar the cafeteria ceiling, and the ceiling of the principals office collapsed a few weeks prior to our visit. Rainwater also floods under doors into one office and a classroom on the third level of the building. On the first level, both ceiling and floor tiles have deteriorated and are unattractive. Walls throughout the interior are grubby and unattractive. The Franklin custodians have spot- painted some walls, but the spots stand out conspicuously because the new paint does not match the old. The district made several improvements to the schools exterior during 1993-94. Workers removed some old, dangerous wooden equipment from the playground and replaced it with more modem equipment salvaged from Ish Incentive School, which closed at the end of the 1992-93 school year. Four-year-olds received an additional climbing structure in their play area and the assistant principal reported that the PTA and Student Council were working cooperatively on future projects for playground improvements. Mitchell: Our previous reports on the incentive schools have praised the Mitchell facility. Indeed the 1908 structure designed by Charles Thompson, Arkansas most noted architect, is beautifully designed and appears structurally sound. But several areas of the building have fallen into disrepair. During 1993. we noted a severe ceiling leak in the reading room. During the past year, the math classroom next door developed a similar problem. Teachers told us that district workers made several attempts to correct the problem, but the leaks have nevertheless persisted. The district installed new carpet in each classroom during the spring of 1994, but the unabated leaks ruined the ceilings and the new carpet in both these classrooms, leaving an objectionable musty smell. The new carpet in other parts of the building looks fresh and neat, but its slate blue color clashes with the earth-toned walls. When the district renovated Mitchell several years ago, the architects took care to select a color palette appropriate to the period of the schools construction. The new carpet ignores those earlier efforts, and gives the interior a rather hodgepodge appearance. The multi-story building includes a basement that houses the cafeteria, kitchen, and minimal classroom space. The stairs leading down to one section of the basement have become so tilted, due to settling of the building, that they present a danger to solid footing. Workers had replaced the broken floor tiles noted in our 1992-1993 report, but several of the brown and white floor tiles, used throughout the first floor of the building, were loose when we visited this time.The exterior of the building includes some commendable improvements and some obvious needs. The schools entry area is now pleasantly adorned by a large flower bed planted with blooming annuals. The four-year-old children have an additional play structure designed for their use, but it is inconveniently located and inaccessible from their classroom. The youngsters must leave their room and walk into the main building to find the only exit that leads to this fenced play area. The buildings exterior trim paint has begun to flake off in some areas, signaling the need for scraping and repainting.

ion iw '3 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Ann: I have enclosed for your perusal and records a copy of a document that was forwarded to me by Mr. Eaton in response to your partial report on the physical condition of particularly Mitchell and Franklin. the incentive schools. The report provided by Mr. Eaton seems to suggest that the buildings are not being neglected and are on a regular maintenance schedule and obviously do receive special consideration when circumstances warrant special attention. It might be a good idea, Ann, for us to meet with Doug regarding the incentive schools so that you and your people are aware of what the capital plans call for with regard to the repairs of all District facilities. Should you require additional information on the incentive schools. please let me know, and 1*11 get it for you. In the meantime. please consider the possibility of scheduling a meeting with Doug to look at all of the facilities. Sincerely, H. P.
