SWAT visits

Office of Desegregation Monitoring United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas One Union National Plaza 124 West Capitol, Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501) 376-6200 Fax (501) 371-0100 September 8, 2005 Mr. Charles Green, Principal Alpha Academy 7123 1-30 Suite 4 Little Rock, Arkansas 72209 Dear Mr. Green: In your absence, the staff at Alpha Academy were courteous and friendly to me during my first of the year walk-through of your campus last Tuesday. Two staff members showed me aroimd the complex of offices and classrooms and one explained the program to me. The purpose of the visit was to give ODM an impression of the climate at Alpha Academy and an understanding of the way the new school year is going. I found the interior of the building to be clean and functional. The graduation gowns decorating the walls were attractive and appropriately symbolic. The foyer is particularly inviting and the staff make everybody feel welcome. The combinations of course offerings and times, as explained by a staff member, appear to make it possible for a large number of students to succeed in school. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments concerning my visit. Best wishes for a successful school year. Sincerely, /I Gene Jones
