The model for multicultural awareness was developed by four of our faculty members who participated in the Atlas Project Summer Institute for Global Studies sponsored by the Arkansas International Center and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. One of the aims of the project is to assist teachers in broadening the scope of international education. We have included a recent article from the Arkansas Gazette which features the Atlas Project and explains the summers activities. Our overall goal for McClellan's three year -plan is to develop unity within the student body, faculty, and community through the implementation of activities designed to increase a multicultural perspective. More than forty faculty members have expressed an interest in joining our interdisciplinary networking, and we believe you will be very interested in what we will be proposing on Tuesday evening. Sincerely, McClellan Atlas Team ftS* it J S::JJbBSS^X^BfLJlQDEL FOR JIUIJ^ AWARENESS z:^z:xsx~4::su:::ss by McClellan Atlas Team August 1989 INTRODUCTIONS Developing new body of knowledge and way of approaching world events is necessary in order to better educate and prepare students for the next generation. The past generation has seen the world change in many ways. Since man began his venture into space the world has appeared to grow smaller and smaller. As a result of increasing interaction among world powers it appears one country can no longer make policy independently. States have even expanded into the world trade markets by developing trade offices around the world, for instance, Arkansas has three offices located in Belgium, Japan, and Brazil. Even independent businesses have felt the necessity to expand worldwide (Graham Catlett, a Little Rock attorney, maintains an office in Moscow). For the first time in history people are involved in a group in which all human beings are members the global society. Its members have a need for a the knowledge, attitudes. and skills that will enable them to make and implement decisions in a world increasingly involved in international business. increasingly interested in transnational trade and travel,, and increasingly concerned about global resources and environmental quality. The emergence of this global society represents afundamental innovation in the human condition and thus has far reaching consequences for education. A global perspective must be introduced to students in order to prepare them for the future. Whether it be an understanding of complex global problems or local problems affected by global forces, students today must be prepared to meet the challenges of the next generation. With rapidly increasing technology and skills used in the world today, it is obvious that it is impossible for any one person or country to master all aspects of this knowledge. It is clear a new way of approaching learning and handling knowledge is essential. ne of the schools major responsibilities is to prepare the student to live in the many groups in which they are or will be members. By developing curriculum using the multiple perspectives and reinforcement approach, students will learn skills which help them analyze complex global issues more effectively. This curriculum will provide them with skills which can be used daily in their own homes, neighborhoods, and schools. They will also develop respect for other nations as well as other cultures, and develop an appreciation for the similarities and differences of mankind.GOAL: To develop unity within the student body faculty. * and community through the implementation of activities designed to increase a multicultural perspective. In order to achieve this goal, a 3 year plan has been proposed. OBJECTIVES! 1. To involve the faculty in the implementation of the multicultural awareness program. METHODS a. Inservice b. d.

The three year prospectus is designed to focus all disciplines at McClellan on one cultural region in the fall and another in the spring. Example: during the month of November 9 all the departments will be asked to give emphasis to Latin America and then during February, 3. 4. they will be asked to give emphasis to Africa. study of two different cultural zones each The year for a three year period will give the McClellan student intensive study of every part of the his/her three The first an years. world during year of implementation will be designated to Latin America and Africa, the second year Western Europe and South and East Asia and Orient, the third year to the Middle East and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. In addition to cultural regions, students will study World Hunger and the Environment the first year
students will study Political Leaders and Government Models the second year
students will -r study Economic Systems and World Relations the third year. These will serve as the focal point for the six cultural regions. 5. In a three year period a student will have had an opportunity to develop a multicultural perspective and approach toward community and world involvement.

Reville on January 2, 1990 the McClellan High School Community Education Biracial Planning Committee was formed under the direction of the Office of the Metropolitan Supervisor. This planning committee has begun formation of the Community Education Advisory Council in order to establish a pilot Community Education program at McClellan High School beginning in school year 19901991. After attending the two week Community Education training session in Flint, Michigan at the National Center for Community Education, we were enthused and prepared to initiate the program in the manner suggested by the NCCE, however, upon our return from Flint we were confronted with actions by the Little Rock School District which jeopardize the successful implementation of this facet of the Tri-Distrlct Desegregation plan. It is our purpose with this communication to alert the Office of the Metropolitan Supervisor and the Court of this jeopardy and to suggest possible remedies. A successful implementation of the Community Education Program at McClellan High School will require total commitment from every member of the school's staff. This has already begun to happen. Ue learned, at the NCCE in Flint, that the Business and Home Economics departments in other successful Community Education Programs provide many resources, and further, are responsible for bringing in up to SOX of the subsidiary funding. McClellan High School has one of the top Cif not the top> rated Business Education department in the state, and its Home Economic department has the strongest program in the Little Rock School District. These two departments are successful because of the personnel who have devoted many years to development of these programs. It was anticipated that they would form the core of the Community Education Program at McClellan High School, possible unless Immediate action is taken. This will no longer be The Little Rock School District, in its latest reduction of teaching staff, has notified vital members of these two departments that they will not have contracts for the 19901991 school year. This virtually guts the resources of the Community Education Program at McClellan HighSchool. One of the affected teachers is a member of the Biracial Planning Committee in whom the Office of the Metropolitan Supervisor has invested scarce tax dollars for training. In order to insure the successful implementation of the Community Education facet of the TriDistrict Desegregation plan the Biracial Planning Committee and the Community Advisory Council offer the following recommendations and urge immediate action to avoid jeopardizing any possibility of implementation for the 1SS0-1S91 school year. * As a short term, stop gap measure dedicate sufficient funds from the desegregation settlement to insure that the Business education and Home Economic education staffs at McClellan High School remain stable. Since the effectiveness of the Community School concept depends entirely upon "buy-in by the school staff, and since instability in that staff will adversely affect the start up phase of the Community School at McClellan, we strongly urge that the staff of McClellan High School be exempted from the "Movement of Personnel" sections of the agreement between the LRSD and the CTA for the next three years. Control of staff at McClellan should reside with the building principal. Ue believe that these two recommendations should receive the highest priority. After attending the National Center for Community Education training session in Flint, we believe that we understand why Mr. Reville selected McClellan High School as the pilot for implementation of a community school. Ue are totally dedicated to insuring successful implementation of this program. and believe it will lead to a significant improvement in the total quality of education in our community as well as contributing to the desegregation of the Little Rock School District. the Office of the Metropolitan Supervisor pursue our Ue urge that recommendations or any other appropriate action to assure stability of the McClellan staff and thus the successful implementation of the Community Education facet of the TriDistrict Desegregation Plan .

AR 72201 May 2, 1990 Members of the McClellan High School Community Education Biracial Planning Committee and the Community Education Advisory Council McClellan High School Community Little Rock, Arkansas Dear Friends: Thank you for visiting with me last Monday to share your concerns about McClellan High School and its growth into a community school. I continue to share Mr. Reville's high regard for McClellan and his confidence that the community school concept will florish in the caring and nurturing environment of Southwest Little Rock. As I promised when we met, I have talked with Dr. Ruth Steele about your requests for dedication of desegregation funds and your desire to seek an exemption from the Professional Negotiations Agreement. I will share with you, as I did with her, my assessment of the options and responsibilities of the Office of the Metropolitan Supervisor in this situation. You requested that we allocate desegregation funds to ensure "that the business education and home economic education staffs at McClellan High School remain stable. Even if we might desire or, absent a Metropolitan Supervisor, have the authority to release settlement funds for any reason, there is currently no money in the desegregation escrow account, at least several more weeks. The balance is zero and will remain so for Your second request was that "the staff of McClellan High School be exempted from the 'Movement of Personnel' sections of the agreement between the LRSD and the CTA for the next three years." The PN Agreement between the District and the Classroom Teachers Association is a legal document. negotiated in good faith and, in some instances, litigated. Its provisions have been While we certainly understand your desire for the McClellan staff to remain unchanged, personnel matters are the responsibility of the District, and it would be inappropriate for us to intervene.McClellan High School Committee and Council Page 2 convictions. Your intense interest in McClellan and its future is admirable and you are to be commended for your willingness to speak out on behalf of your concerns and cti. However, I believe that the requests you have made of this office are matters which the Little Rock School District must resolve within its own framework of priorities, values, and policies. I hope you will not be discouraged, keeping in mind that the concept of McClellan as a community school is part of the court-approved plan for the Little Rock School District. I have every confidence that the Plan will be fully implemented in both letter and spirit. You may also be assured that the entire settlement amount will be spent to help implement the Desegregation Plan. Thank you each one for the energy and devotion you are bringing to bear on the metamorphosis of McClellan High School. No matter what difficulties may be encountered, your spirit of comraderie and cooperation will surely triumph for a school-community partnership which will be the pride of Pulaski County.

The Little Rock School District is implementation of the Plan in both committed to the full letter and spirit. In particular, LRSD's Board of Directors and administration are very much McClellan, implement Committee in support of the community school concept for Accordingly, I have developed and plan to measures in response to the request of the and the Council and in fulfilling our responsibilities to personnel. An amount of $80,000 will be temporarily allocated in LRSD's 1990-91 desegregation fund budget as an estimated that will guarantee the continuation of positions by Zanya Clarkson, Rose Bogan, and Robin Barnum. Thomasson will remain at McClellan through recall result of an employee transfer. This approach is with our understanding of the request made by the amount now held Barbara as a in keeping Committee and their "stop gap measure" to ensure stability of the staff at McClellan High School. In our discussions with representatives of the Committee and the Council, we never had any indication that their request would require the release of funds from the desegregation escrow account, understood it was the intent of the Committee and the We 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501)374-3361 Council for the Office of the Metropolitan Supervisor to concur with LRSD in its planned use of its desegregation moneyeither from local revenues or from settlement monies or a combination of those sources--based on recommendations of the Committee and the Council. In the final analysis, it is highly probable that little or none of the $80,000 allocation will be actually expended for the sole purpose of guaranteeing continued employment of any individual teachers. Rather, the allocated funds in the amount of $80,000 will be re-allocated into budget accounts that will represent the functions performed at the time of the actual expenditure by the teachers who have been continued in their present employment. With the anticipated expansion of programs and services that will be necessary to support the community school concept. and based on discussion with the Committee and the Council, we are confident that the qualifications and credentials of the teachers involved in this matter will be compatible with the types of services that will be offered in the community school plan for McClellan. In summary, I plan to: (1) temporarily designate $80,000 in LRSD's desegregation budget for the continuation of the employment of the three named teachers at McClellan
(2) notify Zanya Clarkson, Rose Bogan, Robin Barnum, and Barbara Thomasson that they will be employed at McClellan for the 1990-91 school year. Barbara Thomasson will be funded from the Operating Fund, and the remaining three teachers salaries and related costs will be charged to the LRSD Desegregation Fund until such time as their functions might be identified otherwise
and (3) notify the Committee and the Council that the aforementioned actions are being taken. Since the successful implementation of the McClellan Community School is. in my opinion, a vital part of the court approved plan for LRSD, I trust that you will agree with our prioritization of the request of the Committee and the Council. If for any reason you do not concur with our planned approach, please advise me promptly so that I might advise the Committee and the Council. Sincerely, Ruth S.

The six-period day threatens that success since it will force the closing of classes and will prevent many students from participating. Please support McClellan and our community by supporting a seven-period day. Thank you so much for your time.i PETITION TO SUPPORT A 7-PERIOD DAY AT MCCLELLAN BUSINESS/COMMUNICATIONS MAGNET PROGRAM July 28, 1992 My signature marks my steadfast support of McClellan iness/Communications Magnet program having versus a six-period day. a seven-period While the LRSD Board's proposal allows for start-up of the McClellan Business/Communications Magnet program, the proposed six period day will destroy the academic content and continuity of the program making McClellan a magnet school in name only. The seven-period day will allow for
1. the same number of teaching hours as in the six-period day with no teacher salary compensation needed from the district. With a six period day, teachers have one preparatory period and teach five classes. With a seven period day, teachers have two preparatory periods and teach five classes. 2. Vocational Education funding would address LRSD budget cutbacks. The Arkansas Department of Education, Vocational Education will allocate $43,000 in start-up monies and an annual allotment of $200 per student per class for vocational courses. This could amount to as much as $83,000 in new monies for the Little Rock School District 1992-93. 3. the possibility of any additional teaching positions to be filled from intra-district transfers. 4. bringing McClellan's student ratio into compliance with desegregation guidelines. offerings are attracting white students.

On March 11, one day after all assignments had been made and letters mailed to parents, Mattie Ruth pulled up on the terminal McClellans enrollment: 1,029 students (not including kindergarten students) 75.1% total black population 427 tenth graders 336 black 91 white 78.7% black 213% white All other high schools were eight to ten percentage points higher than McClellans black percentage. On April 23, Mattie Ruth pulled up on the terminal McClellans enrollment: 929 students (not including kindergarten students) 75.4% total black population 336 tenth graders 268 black 68 white 79.8% black 202% white McClellan had lost 100 students, 91 of which were tenth graders, between March 11 and April 23. Mattie Ruth and Mr. Carter met with Marie Parker on the 23rd to find out why McClellan had lost so many tenth graders. Reason given: student assignment had "worked the deseg transfers".2>2^ I On May 10, Mattie Ruth pulled up on the terminal McClellans enrollment: 920 students I 755% total black population No tenth graders transferred 9 eleventh and twelfth graders transferred out 5 black 4 white This information was given to Marie Parker during a meeting on April 23, Dr. Bernd during a meeting on May 10, and the Biracial Monitoring Team last week during a monitoring visit. Both Mattie Ruth and Mr. Carter attended the meetings with Marie Parker and Dr. Bernd. Reported incidents: Dr. Stanford from UALR wanted to enroll a child in McClellan. At the Student Assignment Office, Dr. Stanford was discouraged about enrolling in McClellan: no magnet seats, lives in Central attendance zone, really does not want to send child to McClellan. Enrolled at Central Another person wanting a McClellan assignment was told by the Student Assignment Office they would have to be put on a waiting list. Enrolled in another district high school. A tenth grader wanted to be assigned to Fair where her boyfriend attended. She received a deseg transfer to Fair. A parent was dissatisfied with the McClellan baseball coach. Student Assignment granted a deseg transfer. McClellan has a 100% black satellite attendance zone. We requested and Bob picked up from Mattie Ruth the attached copies of the enrollment print-out for the above dates.General Information: McClellans Enrollment 1988-89 1989-90 1990-91 1991-92 1992-93 1993-94 Black 615 634 613 640 638 710 White 576 447 390 340 328 230 Total 1,191 1,081 1,003 980 966 940 % Black 52% 59% 61% 65% 66% 76% Dexff^gfUicm Transfers 1. Junior and senior high school students may transfer to another school as long as the reassignment allows both the sending and receiving school to comply with the desegregation requirement and a seat is available... The minimum and maximum black percentages constitute the desegregation requirement (or acceptable range) for a desegregation transfer. The desegregation requirement in secondary schools is that all schools will remain within a range of 12-1/2 percent above to 25 percent below the district-wide percentage of black students at each organizational level (i.e., high school and junior high school). Desegregation Plan, page 140 LRSD For the 1992-93 school year, the acceptable maximum for a desegregation transfer on the senior high level was 6750% black. Questions: With McClellans black enrollment, why were deseg transfers permitted after March 11? According to our information, McClellans magnet program has never been full. Why were parents told either there were no seats or they would have to be put on a waiting list? Why are personnel in the LRSD Student Assignment Office discouraging parents to enroll their children at McClellan? What recruitment efforts have been made this year to recruit white students to McClellan? Why did not a "red flag" appear in student assignment when McClellans black enrollment increased 10 percentage points since last school year? How does LRSD plan to correct the increasing black enrollment at McClellan? Why can parents so easily get deseg transfers from McClellan?MEMORANDUM Date: From: May 18, 1993 Am Brown To: Marie Parker Subject: McClellans Enrollment for 1993-94 Im concerned about reports Ive received regarding student assignments to McClellan. Below are some comments and information to set the context of my concerns about McClellan and the crucial pre-school recruitment and registration period. They are followed by some specific questions about enrollment, magnet seats, parent complaints, desegregation transfers, and recruitment. As you know, McClellans white enrollment has been steadily declining for a number of years. Since the 1989-90 academic year, the schools black enrollment has been higher than any other LRSD high school. The McClellan community school program and business/communications magnet program are very well-thought-out (and expensive) attempts to improve the schools racial balance. The district has invested considerable resources in the McClellan specialties and, with proper management and intensive recruitment, these programs hold great promise for improving desegregation at McClellan. The chart below depicts McClellans annual enrollment since 1988-89. The figures for 1993-94 reflect the schools enrollment according to information available May 10,1993: 1988-39 1989-90 1990-91 1991-92 1992-93 1993-94 Black White Total % Black 615 634 613 640 638 576 447 390 340 328 1,191 52% 1,081 59% 1,003 61% 980 966 65% 66% (710) (230) (940) (76%) The following provision regarding desegregation transfers appears at page 140 of the LRSD Desegregation Plan: Deseffvgatum Transfers 1. Junior and senior high school students may transfer to another school as long as the reassignment allows both the sending and receiving school to comply with the desegregation requirement and a seat is available... The minimum and maximum black percentages constitute the desegregation requirement (or acceptable range) for a desegregation transfer. The desegregation requirement in secondary schools is that all schools will remain within a range of 12-1/2 percent above to 25 percent below the district-wide percentage of black students at each organizational level (i.e., high school and Junior high school). Secondary enrollment for the 1992-93 school year determined that the acceptable maximum for a desegregation transfer on the senior high level was 675% black. Please answer the attached questions as soon as possible. If youd like to arrange a time for us to talk over these items. Ill be happy to meet with you. Thanks so much for your help. cc: Mac Bernd1. March enrollment On March 10, 1993, school assignment letters were mailed to parents. At that time, what was McClellans total enrollment (excluding kindergarten)? What was the black percentage of that number? How many of that number were 10th, 11th, and 12th graders? How many of the children in each grade were black and what percentage of each grades enrollment did that number represent? What were the comparable enrollment figures at the other LRSD high schools at that time? 2. Current enrollment What is the current enrollment of McClellan (excluding kindergarten)? What is the black percentage of that number? How many of them are 10th, 11th, and 12th graders? How many of the children in each grade are black and what percentage of each grades enrollment does that number represent? Currently, what are the comparable enrollment figures at the other LRSD high schools? 3. Magnet seats and enrollment What is the number of total magnet seats at McClellan by grade level and race? During 1992-93, how many of those seats were filled (by grade level and race)? By grade level and race, how many of the magnet seats are currently filled? 4. Parent complaints Some parents have told ODM that, according to Student Assignment, there are presently no McClellan magnet seats available and their children would have to be put on a waiting list. Is this information correct? One parent complained that someone in the LRSD Student Assignment Office discouraged him from enrolling his child at McClellan. What could account for this parents impression? 5. Desegregation transfers By grade and by race, how many desegregation transfers have been permitted from McClellan so far during the current pre-school registration period? To which schools were these transfers made? What criteria are being use to grant desegregation transfers from McClellan? 6. Recruitment What recruitment efforts have been made this year to recruit white students to McClellan? What recruitment efforts are still to be implemented to increase white enrollment at McClellan? When are these efforts scheduled?122 P02 SEP 03 93 13:013 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 MEMORANDUM DATE

As I explained over the phone, we have planned our 93-94 programs' in relation to our originally budgeted amount of $220,000. For that reason, I wanted to talk with the CE staff to determine whether or not we would need to cut programs if we cut $50,000 as you requested. 1 reported to you that we could probably make it fine If the cuts ranged from $30,000-$40,000. However, we discovered just yesterday afternoon that about $14,000 worth of purchase orders approved in 92-93 have been charged to our 93-94 budget. I have spoken with Marx Milhollen regarding these charges, and he assured me as did you that you all would cover us on these shortfalls.

The G.Y.S.T. House, a drug and alcohol treatment center, is trying to relocate in our area. We fear it will further damage the reputation of our area and our schools. Enclosed is an information sheet from one of our neighborhood associations along with a letter 1 have sent to the Commission. This may not be an issue on which you can have an impact
I just wanted to make you aware of a possible problem for us. Thanks! Sincerely, Steve Geurin A Business/communications Magnet S. LITTLE I'M <> ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT J John L. McClellan Community High School 9417 Geyer Springs Road Phone 570-4100 Little Rock, Arkansas 72209 Guidance Office February 16, 1994 Little Rock Planning Commission City of Little Rock 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Commissioners: 1 am writing to strongly object to the rezoning of a piece of property at Mitchell Drive and Frenchmans Lane. The G.Y.S.T. House has requested the rezoning so that they can relocate a drug and alcohol treatment center. My biggest concern is the effects it will have on the public schools in the area. McClellan High School and Cloverdale Junior High School are already fighting to improve their image and thus draw more students, especially white students, into their programs. Each school is struggling to meet the desegregation guidelines. The addition of a drug treatment center less than a mile from each school would add to the image problem and possibly make it more difficult for the schools to desegregate their populations. With so many neighborhood people working to improve the image of our area, it seems a shame to take action such as this that will make Southwest Little Rock appear undesirable. Please consider our fight to save our neighborhood and our schools - do not rezone this property. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, < T Steve Geurin Curriculum Coordinator 4 Business/Communications Magnet LITTLE > ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT John L. McClellan Community High School 9417 Geyer Springs Road Phone 570-4100 Little Rock, Arkansas 72209 February 23, 1994 Ann S. Brown, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring 201 East Markham, Suite 510 Heritage West Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 QrJics FEB 2 4 1994 Dear Ms. Brown
I am writing to make you aware of a situation that we feel may be desegregation goals. Next month the Little Rock School District will detrimental to our print the brochure containing the 1994-95 course offerings for grades 9-12. (lam enclosing a copy of the 1993-94 brochure.) We have been notified by Estelle Matthis that approximately 25 magnet courses at McClellan High School will again not be included in this brochure. The reason given by Ms. Matthis is that "there are too many courses for the districts course offerings brochure to include magnet programs. It is very voluminous and costly in its present format." While it is true that the 1993-94 brochure did not include magnet courses from McClellan or Parkview, at least six magnet courses were listed from the other LRSD high school with a magnet program, Central. We ask you to look at the following factors and to consider requesting that ail LRSD secondary courses be placed in the brochure. This brochure is the only document that students, especially 9th grade students, use when scheduling their courses. It is also a document seen by people considering entering the district. As such, we feel that every course available to secondary students in the Little Rock School District should be printed in the brochure. Students looking at the brochure would see interesting courses offered at Parkview or McClellan and then perhaps consider enrolling in those schools, possibly increasing white enrollment there. If this brochure is to be the districts course offerings brochure, then it seems fitting that all district secondary courses be included. The argument that Parkview is a true magnet school may seem to justify their omission from the brochure. After all, their counselors go to the junior high schools and register their own incoming sophomores. Even so, it seems that inclusion in this brochure would benefit Parkview as well as McClellan by spreading the word about the wonderful programs available at the two schools, especially at a time when enrollment at both schools is down. A Business/Communicavons Magnet Ms. Matthis suggested that we have our own course offerings brochures printed
she offered to distribute these with the LRSD course offerings brochures. We see several problems with this plan. First, this second brochure would be costly
why not apply this cost to the inclusion of the McClellan and Parkview courses in the district brochure? Second, students consider the LRSD brochure as the primary source of course information. They might look at the individual school brochures, but the district brochure will be the one they keep and use as a reference for decision-making. Third, assuming that the district removes the Central magnet courses from the new district brochure, 9th grade students will be given four different brochures-LRSD, Central, McClellan, and Parkview-to help them select their courses
this would be terribly confusing for them as well as their parents. Finally, we feel that inclusion in the district brochure gives credibility to the magnet courses at all three high schools. Inclusion in the brochure says to everyone that these magnet high schools are a viable choice for all students. We at McClellan feel that it is imperative that all courses be included in the district course offerings brochure. We appreciate your consideration in this matter.
