SWAT visits

e.' (344 Little Rock School District OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT October 4, 2000 Ann Brown, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring 201 East Markham - Suite 510 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Ms. Brown: We appreciate your sharing the information from your staff visits to the noted schools. I have made copies of the information and given information to the appropriate supervisor for review. A couple of years ago we would have had great difficulty dealing with the maintenance and renovation issues. Today I suspect we will have most of these items already in a maintenance, replacement or renovation cycle. Thanks again for sharing the information with us. Sincerely, Leslie V. Gamine Superintendent of Schools cc: Brady Gadberry Sadie Mitchell Donald Stewart 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501) 324-2012r Office 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 October 2, 2000 Dr. Les Carnine, Superintendent Little Rock School District 810 West Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Les: As you know, each fall as the new school year gets underway, ODM informally monitors some of the schools in all three districts. The observations we make are in the same vein as those of parents, students, and staff as they enter a building to start the new year. Thus we pay attention to the aspects of a school that are most likely to initially impress those entering it, such as the condition of the grounds, building upkeep and cleanliness, displays and furnishings, student and staff conduct, and so forth. Last month we visited nine LRSD schools
Franklin, Jefferson, Mabelvale, Meadowcliff Rightsell, Stephens, and Woodruff Elementaries
Dunbar Middle School
and Hall High. Attached is a list of what we observed at each of them. We intend for these comments to give you, your administrators, and the principals of these buildings the benefit of our impressions. As has been our custom, we will not publish or file these observations at this time, although we could eventually factor them into some aspect of a report. I hope the enclosed information is helpful. Please dont hesitate to call if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely yours, QW Ann S. Brown Enc. cc: Brady Gadberry Sadie Mitchell Building principalsFranklin Elementary School We were pleased to note that: The American flag was displayed on the flagpole in front of the school. A table to welcome parents was manned by a volunteer in the entry next to the Parent Center. A large, attractive display in the main lobby featured student work. The floors in the corridors were waxed, polished, and free of debris. Security personnel were visible in the corridors. An attractive border was painted above the windows in the corridor. The school had a wheelchair lift at the stairwell. Students looked neat and attractive in their multicolored school uniforms. The media center, which had complete computer capability, was attractively decorated with several book displays. When completed, the large mural of children playing (which was titled Great Expectations) will be an attractive addition to the cafeteria. In the cafeteria, the windows were exceptionally clean and the floor was clean and waxed. All restrooms were clean and supplied with paper products. The wheelchair-accessible stall in a girls restroom had two handrails. We also noted some areas needing attention: Several cars were parked on the lawn due to inadequate paved parking spaces. One slide on the playground was broken and hazardous. Exposed overhead wiring in the corridors was unsightly. The stench from a dead dog located near the cafeteria was horrible. Workers reported that the dog had been there for two weeks. The air in the kitchen was stagnant and almost unbearably hot. Swaths of paint were peeling from the cafeteria walls. The restrooms on the upper levels were uncomfortably warm. Several restrooms lacked soap and several faucets were inoperable. One girls restroom had some tissue wads on the ceiling. The mirror in the girls restroom in the kindergarten wing was placed too high on the wall for kindergartners to use. Few restrooms were handicapped accessible.Jefferson Elementary School We were pleased to note that: Both the U.S. and the Arkansas flags were flying from the schools flagpole. The grass was mowed and the campus was litter free. A new play structure was being installed in front of the school for four-year-old students. We saw student work on display throughout the school. The corridors were clean, well lit, and attractively decorated with motivational posters and materials. The new media center, which was spacious and pretty, had a voluminous book collection that was enhanced with 10 on-line computer workstations, computers for word processing, and a fully automated management system. The girls restroom in the main hall was fully supplied. We also noted some areas needing attention: The area south of the school was filled with weeds, many of which were waist high. All of the windows throughout the school were dirty, some were cracked, and others were covered with cobwebs or tape residue. The metal door covering a breaker box was unlocked and ajar. The kitchen was too hot for safe working conditions. The gas unit to one of the cooking vats was leaking. The kitchen had no safety mats in the wet areas. None of the boys restrooms had soap or mirrors. The windows in one boys restroom were cracked and dirty. * The girls restroom in the main hall was in very poor condition: the temperature was sweltering, the floor was strewn with paper towels, the wall paint was in poor condition, a metal grate was rusted and unsightly, and the room had no access for the disabled. Restrooms in one area were not labeled by gender.Mabelvale Elementary School We were pleased to note that: The U.S. and Arkansas flags were flying from a flagpole in front of the school. The entry area included a coffee table, chairs, and attractive living plants. All classrooms were clearly numbered and labeled with the teachers names and grade level. The students we observed were on-task and actively engaged. Staff and students were very friendly, each offering a cheery good morning when encountered. The school had a fully-equipped physical education classroom. Colorful jungle-themed murals brightened the hallways. Corridor floors were waxed and spotless. Student work describing the first day of school was already displayed near the 3"* grade classrooms. Fire extinguishers were clearly visible in the corridors. A handrail was affixed to the corridor wall where the floor inclined, facilitating accessibility for disabled students. The playground had sufficient pea gravel and an adequate assortment of equipment. Furnishings in the cafeteria were clean and in good repair. The cafeteria floor was clean and free of debris The kitchen was clean and well ventilated. The common restroom area contained soap and paper towels. At least one girls and one boys restroom had a handicapped accessible stall that included two handrails. The girls restroom contained hooks on the stall doors, providing a place to hang purses or back packs to keep them off the floor. All restrooms were well lit, odor free, and supplied with toilet paper. The tile work in most restrooms was in good repair. We also noted some areas needing attention: Although the grass had been mowed recently, weeds had not been clipped from the edge of walkways. Hedges were overgrown and needed trimming. Mats at the schools back door were torn, worn, and imbedded with grass from the playground. The ceiling under the front breezeway was torn and weathered in places. The corridor walls were clean, but the yellow paint showed signs of wear. Although clean and waxed, many floor tiles in the building were cracked, chipped, or broken. A wall in the S* grade wing had several holes, apparently from the removal of a water fountain. In the cafeteria, three large paintings on wood canvasses featured family farm scenes and a picnic, but all the people in the paintings were white. The stage was very small and its carpet frayed. An old office desk and several student desks were scattered haphazardly on the stage and in the cafeteria. The textured ceiling in the cafeteria was very dingy. Preparation aisles in the kitchen were narrow and cramped.Mabelvale Elementary School Page 2 The kitchen wash areas had no wet mats. The kitchen ceiling showed evidence of leaks. The carpeting in the media center, although clean, was torn and the padding badly compressed. Several ceiling tiles adjacent to the media center and in other areas of the building were spotted with water. In one girls restroom, the base tiles were cracked along the entire wall and the toilet paper was not placed in holders. Stall dividers and doors in a girls restroom were stained and scratched with graffiti. Two of three girls restrooms were not handicapped accessible.MeadowclifT Elementary School We were pleased to note that: The campus was neat, tidy, and free of litter and debris. The playground included a large attractive climbing structure that appeared new. Most of the building was comfortably cool on a fiercely hot day. The entry foyer featured welcome signs
a table set up as a Parent Center held various information. The volunteer sign-in sheet was prominently accessible in the foyer. The staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly, and the students we saw were very well behaved. Hall floors throughout the building were clean and shiny. Throughout the building, teacher-made visuals proclaimed welcome to students whose names were included in many of the displays. The media center, which featured numerous bright, colorful displays, had five on-line computers, as well as computers for word processing. In the cafeteria, the floor was clean and waxed to a high gloss and the furnishings were in good repair. Ceiling fans and window shades helped keep the cafeteria cool on the very warm day. Red Ribbon and L.O.V.E. (Let Our Violence End) banners brightened the cafeteria. A fire extinguisher was within hand reach in a hallway. The restrooms were clean and supplied with paper products. We also noted some areas needing attention: Neither the U.S. nor Arkansas flag was displayed on the schools flagpole. In the hallway of the annex, floors had been repaired with mismatched tiles and a section of baseboard was missing. The back door to the school was propped open. Some graffiti was scratched on both sets of entry doors, one of which was missing its handle. Around the building, tar from roof repairs was overrun and sloppily splashed on the fascia beneath the roof. An exterior classroom window was defaced with a vulgar epithet in large letters. The teachers lounge was uncomfortably warm
we saw no air conditioning duct. Cables above the translucent hall ceilings were unsightly. Near the water fountain in the rear hall, a short span of floor tile was broken at its edge. The pull-down window shades in the media center were worn out and ready for replacements. The health room lacked privacy and had insufficient storage capacity. The restroom in the health room was not handicapped accessible. Some of the cafeterias floor tiles around the baseboard were broken or missing. Exposed metal framing around the walls of the cafeteria was rusted, stained, and chipped. The areas around some of the sinks in the kitchen showed evidence of leaky plumbing. While the food preparation aisles were narrow, the food carts that were in the aisles further impeded traffic flow. The kitchen showed evidence of roof leaks, and a worker reported having seen bugs in the facility.MeadowclifFElementary School Page 2 The stage floor was badly scuffed and dented, and the wood paneling was peeling away from the front of the stage. The backstage curtains were soiled, torn, and stained with paint. The stage was not wheelchair accessible. The cover was missing from a floor drain in a girls restroom, creating a serious safety hazard. All the restrooms we visited lacked soap. The ceiling panels in one girls restroom had holes and one girls restroom was littered. The stench of stale urine was overpowering in one boys restroom.Rightsell Elementary School IVe were pleased to note that: The U.S. flag was flying from a flagpole in front of the school. The exterior of the school was neat and litter free. The exterior brick and painted trim were attractive and in good condition. Rightsells mission statement was prominently posted in the foyer. Posted at the end of the main hall was a display that provided an overview of Rightsells special features. Examples of the school uniform colors and combinations were displayed in a case adjacent to the cafeteria. The media center was clean, and the specialist and aides were bar-coding books and preparing for initiating an automated checkout system. Along with having a comfortable temperature, the cafeteria was clean, well lit, and decorated with four bulletin boards that bore the words Believe, Achieve, Succeed. The tables were clean and free of scratches, chips, and other signs of wear. The kitchen had one easily accessible fire extinguisher and a first aid kit that was located in the managers office. The kitchen had three electric fans to circulate air. The boys restrooms were clean and most plumbing was functioning normally. We also noted some areas needing attention: Al" grade class was located on the second floor of the building, which is a violation of fire codes.' Little student work was on display. During our visit, we heard a number of staff members speaking sharply to students over very minor issues of deportment. Drainage problems continue to plague the school: plaster was flaking from the basement wall across from the service access door and a music room wall had severe water damage. Although efforts had been made to repair the plaster, the underlying problem of faulty down spouts had not been addressed. A door accessing the basement service area was secured with only a simple latch, potentially allowing students access to the crawl space under the building. The door also lacked any type of insulation barrier, thus permitting rodents access to the building. Upon opening the door, we saw a dead mouse. The well in the floor of the boiler room was filled with standing water. According to staff members, the water is a year-round problem. A plastic condensation drain was dripping directly onto the floor in the entry area of the boiler room, which may have contributed to the water standing in the well. Rightsell Elementary School 'During our visit, an inspector from the Little Rock Fire Department arrived. After inspecting the school, he recommended to the principal that the T' grade class on the second floor be moved immediately to the ground level. As we were leaving, the principal was making plans to relocate that 1 grade class to comply with the fire codes.Rightsell Elementary School Page 2 Several areas of the building were experiencing air conditioning problems: the music room had a non-functioning window unit and the computer lab was inadequately cooled. One moisture-eroded wall in the media center was covered with plastic to protect nearby books and shelves from water damage and flaking plaster. Even with three fans running, the kitchen was extremely hot just before the main lunch period. The boys restroom located in the basement lacked paper towels and one basin was out of order. The girls restroom in the basement had no paper towels, all the toilet paper rolls were sitting on the floor (which is very unsanitary), the water pressure was very low in all three sinks, and the floor tiles were in poor condition.Stephens Elementary School Note: Because the new Stephens school was not completedfor the beginning of the 2000-01 school year, the building that was formerly Garland Elementary was being used to house students who will attend the new Stephens school. We were pleased to note that. The American flag was properly displayed on the flagpole. The playground was free of debris, and the play equipment was in good repair. The principal shared a copy of an attractive brochure that explained offerings at the new Stephens. The interior of the old building was clean despite showing signs of old age. The small media center was operational and offered complete computer services. The restrooms were clean and well supplied. We also noted some areas needing attention: The carpet on the stairway was torn and hazardous
students could easily trip and fall. Without enough fans to circulate the air adequately, the kitchen was exceedingly hot. The kitchen had no safety mats in wet areas. In one restroom, a large sink was missing, leaving unsightly holes and wall damage exposed to students. A non-functioning water fountain was being stored in the entryway to a restroom.Woodruff Elementary School We were pleased to note that: The U.S. flag was flying from the schools flagpole. Grass around the building was mowed. The playground areas were free of debris and the equipment was in good repair. Hallways and open areas of the building were brightly colored and well lit. The Woodruff School Creed was prominently posted. Aspects of the Great Expectations philosophy and practices that the school had adopted several years ago were still apparent throughout the building. Students and many staff members were wearing the school uniforms. Several colorful wall displays were visible throughout the building. Lots of student work was already on display in the conidors. The media center, which was prepared for students, had five computer terminals for student research and access to the Internet. Floors were shiny and spotless. Several live green plants at staircase landings served to enhance the decor. The cafeteria was very well lit and the furnishings were clean and in good repair. Several L.O.V.E. (Let Our Violence End) posters were strategically placed around the cafeteria. Girls and boys restrooms were clean and supplied with toilet paper and paper towels. Both boys and girls restrooms were handicapped accessible, although both had just one handrail. We also noted some areas needing attention: The building was not totally handicapped accessible: the front entry had a step and no ramp. The health room lacked privacy and the hot water took an unusually long time to heat up. Many floor tiles were mismatched. The main level of the building lacked restrooms. The third floor landing was stifling hot. The media center was small and crowded. Due to that limited space, the media specialist had to schedule split classes rather than whole classes. The media center lacked adequate electrical outlets for the amount of equipment housed in the space. The carpet in the media center was quite worn and had frayed seams, posing a tripping hazard. In the cafeteria, the walls were stained and chipped and the window casing was dirty. The stage area was not handicapped accessible. The lack of a curtain gave the stage a bleak appearance. The sign designating a girls restroom was on the inside of the door. The boys restroom on the third floor was unlabeled. A girls restroom lacked soap. An adult restroom in the four-year-old wing lacked any kind of designation.Dunbar Middle School We were pleased to note that: The shrubs and flower beds were pretty, despite the intense heat. During a fire drill, students exited the building in a very orderly and quiet fashion. Security personnel were visible throughout the campus. We noted adult supervision while the students returned to class after the fire drill and during a class change. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. Some student artwork was already on display. The media center offered full computer service through nine workstations. Air temperature in the cafeteria and kitchen was excellent on the very warm day we visited. The cafeteria was clean and free of litter, even during the lunch period. The added third lunch period greatly reduced congestion in the cafeteria. Lighting in the kitchen was exceptionally good. The girls locker room featured clean and fiinctioning sinks. Restrooms were handicapped accessible and had two handrails. Restrooms were supplied with paper products. We also noted some areas needing attention: No flag was flying from the pole in front of the school. Graffiti marred the concrete frame around the front door and the concrete stair trim. Many of the walks on the Wright Avenue side of the building were cracked and had grass growing through the cracks. Students were exceptionally noisy while returning from the fire drill and during the class change. Electrical outlets in several places had been removed, leaving gaping holes in the walls. At least two water fountains in the corridors were not operating. One classroom had a large garbage pail placed under a gapping ceiling hole in the center of the room to catch the drips from a perpetually leaking air conditioning system. The carpeting in the media center was stained and worn. The cafeteria was not wheelchair accessible. In the cafeteria, some of the tables were badly chipped, cracked, or broken and some of the stools were broken. Metal fixtures from a fountain that had been removed protruded from a cafeteria wall. A switch plate cover was missing from an electrical outlet behind the serving line, creating a safety hazard. Some of the ceiling vent covers were missing. The laundry room by the cafeteria was a disgrace. The small facility had no ventilation whatsoever
as a result, the whole room was covered in mold and mildew. The stench was unbearable, as was the temperature. No person should have to work in such deplorable conditions. The situation was severe enough to be in violation of Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines. The floor tile in the kitchen was broken, chipped, cracked, or missing in several areas. The air temperature in the gymnasium was stifling. Except for clean sinks in the girls facility, nothing had changed from last years report when we noted the sorry condition of the locker rooms. Restrooms were very warm and only partially supplied
some had severe signs of vandalism to tiles and windows. One girls restroom had tissue wads on the ceiling.Hall High School We were pleased to note that: Highly visible security personnel were very professional and firm, while still being respectful to the students. Teachers were standing at their doors to oversee the class change. Students were very friendly and polite. Most of the hall floors were clean and waxed. The trophy case in the school entrance was full and neatly maintained. Many of the entrance and hall bulletin boards featured well-done displays. Most of the hall ceilings were in good repair
some looked new. A number of lockers had been repainted. The attractive library offered a good book collection, along with a 24-station on-line computer lab. Despite the heavy traffic, the cafeteria floors were clean and waxed. Although the crowd was massive, cafeteria workers served students quickly and efficiently, expediting the wait in line considerably. Wall murals in the cafeteria brightened the facility. The addition of a new picnic area with tables and benches in the outside courtyard helped ease some of the cafeteria crowding. The principal indicated that the district planned to add a canopy to the new area. Construction was underway to add a concession stand and restrooms at the rear of the cafeteria, which will expand facilities at lunchtime and also for sporting events. The boys restrooms were generally clean and well supplied. Floor tile in one girls restroom was very attractive and in good condition. Restrooms contained paper products and soap. We also noted some areas needing attention: No flags were displayed on the flagpole at the east entrance to the school. Flower beds were weed choked and neglected
several scrubs were dead. The landscape timbers sunounding some ornamental trees were rotten and broken. The student population has exceeded capacity to the extent that seven portable buildings were stationed on the campus. The portables, which were mismatched eyesores, all lacked access for the disabled. Although some were quite a distance from the main building, they all lacked any type of awning or covered walkway. Dried wads of chewing gum speckled the exterior walks and steps. A small sign attached to the brick wall just west of the steps leading to the main entrance read, Welcome to Hall High School, but it was so tarnished that it was almost illegible. At the buildings east entrance, the floor was littered and a ceiling tile bulged. In one hallway, an electrical breaker box with 40 switches was unlocked, its wide-open door inviting mischief. In the central corridors, very few of several drinking fountains were operational. One of two display cases at the library entrance was empty. Some areas in the corridors were littered and we saw no trash receptacles in the halls.Hall High School Page 2 Some of the concrete hall floors were badly scuffed and bisected by deep cracks. Circles fashioned from masking tape hung from some of the hall ceilings. The ceiling tiles in the 700 building were sagging and ugly. The exposed overhead wiring in the corridor of the 600 building was particularly unsightly. Tape residue and scratched patches marred many of the windows withing the building
one interior window was broken. A number of rooms were casually identified by white SVi" x 14" sheets of paper with the teachers name hand-scrawled in felt tip marker and posted by the door. Most lockers were not in very good condition: the doors were missing from some of them, as were the locking mechanisms
scratched paint and rust were common. In the space for numbered metal tags, the repainted lockers were hand-numbered with what appeared to be permanent felt-tip marker. Display cases in the corridor in front of the cafeteria were scattered with wood logs and lined with torn paper, creating a very unappealing sight. Some of the ceiling tiles in the cafeteria were loose. Several tables in the cafeteria were empty because of an insufficient number of chairs. Several faucets in the kitchen were leaking. Kitchen floor tiles were cracked, chipped, broken, or missing. A raised metal floor plate created a safety hazard in the food service area. Metal floor plates at the door between the kitchen and serving area created a serious safety hazard. The air quality and temperature in the kitchen were very uncomfortable. Conditions were disgraceful in the two girls restrooms located in the central building. Identified by paper signs taped above their entrances, bare bulbs glared or were burned out and floors were dirty, dull, and marred with sloppy concrete patches, paint, rust, or other stains. Only a few stalls had a unit for the disposal of feminine hygiene products, and most of those were filthy, corroded, and missing their covers. Paint had been slopped on several toilet seats, and only some stall doors had locks. Graffiti defaced various surfaces, including paper towel dispensers and stall walls. Some graffiti had been covered with mismatched paint. Sinks and faucet were dull and dirty, some water taps would not work,and those that did dispensed only cold water. The Formica vanity counters were dirty and chipped. Some sections of ceiling tile were missing, and huge dried paper wads hung overhead in one restroom. In another, a sink was hanging askew from its precarious mooring on the wall, and the cover over a heating unit was markedly ajar. In one girls restroom, unsightly holes had been left in the wall behind the vanity where plumbing fixtures had been removed. The handicapped accessible stall in one girls restroom had a toilet that ran constantly and no toilet paper dispenser. As a result, the paper was perched on a shelf behind the commode, which was well out of the reach of a wheelchair-bound student. One girls restroom was supplied with a couple of bars of dirty-looking soap, which caused one student to remark, Couldnt we have some nice soap dispensers? Some boys restrooms had been vandalized, had graffiti on the walls, and had broken paper dispensers. A paper sign (which identified one of the boys restrooms as such) had been torn down, leaving behind only tape and one ragged corner of paper.Schedule of School Visits Tuesday, August 22, 2000 SCHOOJ.

Please modify your SWAT schedule to monitor at least Stephens and Woodruff A^ (checking on all three schools is preferable, since this is their maiden launching of extended beginning- of-the-year). Since my calendar says Horace is on vacation Monday and Gene starts vacation next Tuesday, I suggest that Horace and Margie monitor one of the schools tomorrow (Friday, August 11) and Gene and Margie monitor the other school on Monday, August 14.
