Pulaski Street Little Rock, AR 72206 501 447-3320 www.lrsd.orgii Executive Summary This report examines student assessments over a five-year period in the Little Rock School District (LRSD) from 1998 to 2003. The report also looks at course taking and completion trends over the five years in mathematics and science courses, along with policy issues and curriculum changes. The five year period was selected because LRSD had a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) over that period of time to create systemic change in mathematics and science programs that would lead to increased student achievement and preparation of more students to pursue undergraduate programs of study in mathematics, science, and engineering. The LRSD program, funded by NSF, was Comprehensive Partnerships for Mathematics and Science Achievement (CPMSA). The effective date of the CPMSA program was September 1, 1998, and the expiration date for this program was August 31, 2003. The program evaluation was oriented around the following questions concerning all students and African American students in particular:  Was the CPMSA program effective in improving the achievement of Afncan American students?  Have levels of achievement changed for all students and for Afncan American students who perform at or above basic, at or above proficient, and at or above the advanced achievement level?  Have enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and for Afncan American students in S* grade Algebra 1?  Have the enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and Afncan American students in G 9-12 mathematics gate-keeping courses (Algebra I, Geometry, Trig/Pre-Calc., \u0026amp; Calculus)?  Have enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and for Afncan American students in G 9-12 science gate-keeping courses (Biology 1, Chemistry 1, and Physics I)?  Has the number of students with SEM proficiency changed? How has the number of Afncan American students with SEM proficiency changed? (SEM proficiency is defined as students who have completed a minimum of pre-calculus, biology, and chemistry and/or physics courses).  What policy changes have promoted equal access by all students, including Afiican American students to high quality education?  What policy changes were made to support student success in mathematics and science during CPMSA implementation?  What curriculum and instruction changes were made to support student success in mathematics and science during CPMSA implementation?  What professional development policy and program changes were made to support teachers during CPMSA implementation?  What standards-based assessment system changes were made during CPMSA implementation? Method The evaluation design was based on quantitative student achievement data from over 100 examinations in twenty-four different assessment groups, which took place in LRSD from 1998 to 2003. The cooperative agreement with the NSF (Amendment No. 3) states that assessment data for the CPMSA Program for Years 3,4, and 5 will be used to determine annual increases in performance\nconsequently, the primary focus was on achievement data for SY 2000-2001,2001-2002, and 2002-2003. Literacy assessments were included along with mathematics and science assessments since literacy is a criticaliv achievement level or above the Proficient achievement level or both above Basic achievement level and above Proficient achievement level occurred for all students, for Caucasian students, and for African American students. The assessment groups are summarized below: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 English G8 EXPLORE English GIO PLAN Literacy G4 Benchmark Literacy G8 Benchmark Mathematics G4 Benchmark Mathematics G5 SAT-9 Mathematics G6 Benchmark Mathematics G7 SAT-9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Mathematics G8 Benchmark Mathematics G8 EXPLORE Mathematics GIO SAT-9 Mathematics GIO PLAN Algebra I G7-10 Benchmark Geometry G9-11 Benchmark Reading G5 SAT-9 Reading G7 SAT-9 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Reading G8 EXPLORE Reading GIO SAT-9 Reading GIO PLAN Science G5 SAT-9 Science G7 SAT-9 Science G8 EXPLORE Science GIO SAT-9 Science GIO PLAN 9 The Annual Change in Percentage Points of Students Who Performed at or Above the Basic Achievement Level Table 32 shows only the change in percentage points of students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level for all students in the District, for Caucasian students, and for African American students. Here we see that in 16 out of 24 assessments, the change in percentage points of African American students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level was greater than the change in percentage points of Caucasian students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level. These results may be seen in Figure IS below. The Annual Change in Percentage Points of Students Who Performed at or Above the Proficient Achievement Level Table 33 shows only the change in percentage points of students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level for all students in the District, for Caucasian students, and for African American students. Here we see that in 18 out of 24 assessments, the change in percentage points of African American students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level was less than the change in percentage points of Caucasian students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level. These results may be seen in Figure 2S below. From the assessments in Tables 32 and 33, we conclude that, although there are increasing numbers of African American students at or above the Proficient achievement level, the greatest movement in African American student performance is upward from below the Basic achievement level into the region between the Basic achievement level and the Proficient achievement level. If the current momentum is maintained, student performance of African American students will continue to move upward to or above the Proficient achievement level. In the SMART/THRIVE 2002-2003 program, we found 52 percent of those students performing above the Basic achievement level but below the Proficient achievement level. With such a large number of students performing just below the Proficient achievement level, many more students could reach the Proficient achievement level with reasonable additional effort on the part of the students and teachers. From these data we conclude that the performance of African American students on district assessments improved substantially and consistently between 200land 2003.V Figure IS: Annual Change in Percentage Points Relative to the Basic Achievement Level Annual Change in Percentage Points of Students Who Performed at or Above the Basic Achievement Level on 24 Different Assessments from SY 2000-2001 to SY 2002-2003 25 20 15 10 Caucasian Students A African American 5 0 , 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 12 13 14 15 16 20 21 23 24 -5 Figure 2S: Annual Change in Percentage Points Relative to the Proficient Achievement Level Annual Change in Percentage Points of Students Who Performed at or Above the Proficient Achievement Level on 24 Different Assessments from SY 2000-2001 to SY 2002-2003 25 20 15 10 Caucasian Students African American 5 0 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 -5 12 13 14 15 16\\17 19 20 21 '23 24 0vi Course Enrollment and Completion from SY 1997-1998 to SY 2002-2003 1. The enrollment of African American students in Algebra I in the eighth grade increased by 29% and the successful completion rate (grade of A, B, or C) increased by 8% (Figure 51). The corresponding percentages for all students were a 17% increase in enrollment and 15% increase in successful completion rate (Figure 50). 2. The enrollment of African American students in mathematics gate-keeping courses (Alg I and II, Geo, Trig/Pre-Calc, and Cal) increased by 33% and the successful completion rate increased by 22% (Figure 49). The corresponding percentages for all students were a 28% increase in enrollment and 31% increase in successful completion rate (Figure 48). 3. The enrollment of African American students in science gate-keeping courses (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) increased by 92% and the successful completion rate increased by 73% (Figure 53). The corresponding percentages for all students were an 84% increase in enrollment and an 85% increase in successful completion rate (Figure 52). 4. The percentage of African American students who were SEM proficient (completed physics, biology, chemistry and pre-calculus) increased by 50% Figure 61). The corresponding percentage for all students was a 31% increase in enrollment (Figure 60). From these data we conclude that the percentage increase of African American students in gatekeeping and higher-level mathematics and science courses is greater than that for students as a whole but that the successful completion rate (grade A, B, or C) for African American students is lower than that for students as a whole. Policy, Curriculum, and Professional Development Systemic improvement of mathematics and science in LRSD resulted from several factors. First, LRSD has adopted a number of Board Policies that promote the development of a coherent, consistent set of policies that supports: provision of high quality mathematics and science education for each student\nexcellent preparation, continuing education, and support for each mathematics and science teacher\nand administrative support for all persons who work to improve achievement among all students served by the system. Second, the alignment of written curriculum standards and benchmarks, nationally developed and validated curriculum materials, professional development, and assessment created a high quality mathematics and science curriculum. This alignment improved each year as data were used to check for strengths and weaknesses in the system. Another key factor was the coordination of resources, professional development, and technical assistance provided by Lead Teachers. Finally, the convergence of resources, both financial and human, fueled the change process that led to a higher- performing system. Student Support and Community Partners A variety of student support programs were implemented during the project period, including afterschool tutoring, the summer SMART program for rising eighth and ninth grade students preparing for Algebra I, the Saturday THRIVE program to provide follow-up support for SMART graduates, a preengineering program (SECME) that is in about half our schools, and after-school clubs sponsored by the Museum of Discovery. All of these programs focused on the needs of students who need support to improve their achievement. In addition community partners such as the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Philander Smith College, and the Museum of Discovery provided leadership and support to the LRSD mathematics and science programs. Parent Institutes, PTA meetings, and other avenues were used to involve parents and to try to keep them informed about changes in the LRSD math and science program. Curriculum packets designed to share the goals of each mathematics module, major classroom activities used to support those goals, and strategies for parents to utilize with their children at home were developed for each mathematics module for grades K-8. These packets were available for checkout through school libraries.vii Table of Contents Executive Summary...........................................................................

The District Court issued its Memorandum Opinion (hereinafter Opinion) finding that the Little Rock School District (LRSD) had substantially complied with all areas of the Revised Desegregation and Education Plan (Revised Plan), with the exception of Revised Plan  2.7.1. Section 2.7.1 provided: LRSD shall assess the academic programs implemented pursuant to Section 2.7' after each year in order to determine the effectiveness of the academic programs in improving African-American achievement. If this assessment reveals that a program has not and likely will not improve Afiican-American achievement, LRSD shall take appropriate action in the form of either modifying how the program is implemented or replacing the program. The LRSD has participated in Comprehensive Partnerships for Mathematics and Science Achievement (CPMSA), a National Science Program (NSF) since September 1, 1998. CPMSA was designed to improve the mathematics and science education of urban students in medium sized cities. NSF organized its systemic initiative program around six drivers that were found to be central to successful school reform. NSFs six drivers^ of systemic reform are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment Policy support for high quality learning and teaching Convergence of educational resources Partnerships of leadership: broad-based support Measures of effectiveness focused on student outcomes Achievement of ALL students, including those historically underserved Thus, the Little Rock School District must provide evidence^ that clearly demonstrates that, to a significant degree, changes in student achievement and performance can be attributable to the catalytic impact of the systemic initiatives. The overall mission of the CPMSA program'* is to develop systemic approaches that will substantially increase the number of students enrolling in and successfully completing pre-college science, engineering and math (SEM) courses. This increased enrollment should have resulted in a quantifiable and long-term increase in the number of participating students who complete the \"college preparatory sequence of courses\" in secondary school, and then graduate to pursue undergraduate majors in science, engineering or mathematics. The national agenda^ is to produce more well-prepared high school graduates, both men and women, and to increase the number of students receiving B.S. degrees^ in natural sciences, engineering and 1 Revised Plan  2.7 provided, LRSD shall implement programs, policies and/or procedures designed to improve and remediate the academic achievement of African-American students, including but not limited to Section 5 of this Revised Plan. 2 NSF, Directorate of Education and Human Resources, Division of Educational System Reform, Six Critical Drivers, ( http://www.ehr.nsf gov/esr/drivcrs ') 3 Raising Standards and Achievement in Urban Schools: Case Stories from CPMSAs in Hamilton County/Chattanooga and Newport News Public Schools, Systemic Research, Inc., ( http://www.svstemic.com/). 4 CPMSA Fact Book 2002, May 2003 ( http://www.svstemic.com/), Systemic Research, Inc. 5 Report of the Congressional Commission on the Advancement of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering and Technology Development, Land of Plenty: Diversity as America's Competitive Edge in Science, Engineering and Technology, Washington, D.C., September 2000.2 academic disciplines. Significant science proficiency by the nation^ will not be achieved unless all under-represented minorities, including Atncan Americans, are brought into the science and technology loop. In order to contribute to this national goal, the Little Rock School District proposed in the cooperative agreement with NSF that the graduation rate of well-prepared SEM high school graduates be substantially increased. As illustrated in Figurel and Figure 2, African American enrollment increases in both mathematics and science gate-keeping courses were achieved between the baseline year (in SY 1997-98, the year before the project was implemented) and Year 5 (SY 2002-2003). By the fifth year, 4,300 African American students (72% of total African American grade 8-12 enrollment) were enrolled in gate-keeping mathematics courses. In Figure 2, enrollments in science courses increased from 1,804 to 3,468 Afncan American students (51% of the total Afncan American grade 9-12 enrollment). Gate-keeping mathematics courses include Algebra I in 8* and 9* grades and higher. Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. The gate-keeping courses for science are Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

We would like to answer the following questions for all students, and for Afncan American students in particular:  Was the CPMSA program effective in improving the achievement of Afncan American students?5  Have levels of achievement changed for all students and for African American students who perform at or above basic, at or above proficient, and at or above the advanced achievement level?  Have S* grade enrollments in Algebra 1 and completion trends changed for all students and for African American students?  Have the enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and Afncan American students in G 9-12 mathematics gate-keeping courses (Algebra I, Geometry, Trig/Pre-Calc., \u0026amp; Calculus)?  Have enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and for African American students in G 9-12 science gate-keeping courses (Biology 1, Chemistry 1, and Physics 1)?  Has the number of students with SEM proficiency changed? How has the number of African American students with SEM proficiency changed? (SEM proficiency is defined as students who have completed a minimum of pre-calculus, biology, and chemistry and /or physics courses).  What policy changes have promoted equal access by all students, including Afncan American students to high quality education?  What policy changes were made to support student success in mathematics and science during CPMSA implementation?  What curriculum and instruction changes were made to support student success in mathematics and science during CPMSA implementation?  What professional development policy and program changes were made to support teachers during CPMSA implementation?  What standards-based assessment system changes were made during CPMSA implementation? In this report, we looked at assessments which took place during the LRSD program\nComprehensive Partnerships for Mathematics and Science Achievement (CPMSA). The effective date of the CPMSA program was September 1, 1998, and the expiration date for this program was August 31, 2003. Additional information for the LRSD and individual schools is available from the Arkansas Department of Education website: httr)://www.as-is/reportcard/. 1.3 Current Status^ In the last Core Data Elements collection for the 2001-2002 school year, the Little Rock School District reported approximately 25,000 students, 35 elementary schools, eight middle schools, five high schools, one career and technical center, and one accelerated learning center (high school). The last strategic plan for the Little Rock School District (LRSD) overlapped with the CPMSA program. The mission statement of the LRSD was as follows: The mission of the LRSD is to equip all students with the skills and knowledge to realize their aspirations, to think critically and independently, to learn continuously and to face the future as productive, contributing citizens. This mission is accomplished through open access to a diverse, innovative and challenging curriculum in a secure environment with a staff dedicated to excellence and empowered with the trust and support of our community. The Little Rock CPMSA continues to be a catalyst for large-scale systemic change directed toward improving the science and mathematics achievement of all students. Major progress has been made in the development of an infrastructure to sustain achievement gains. The most visible change can be seen 8 Division of Instruction, Little Rock School District, Little Rock, Arkansas, Program Evaluations for the Comprehensive Partnerships for Mathematics and Science Achievement (CPMSA). 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2000-01. and 2001-02. Funded by the National Science Foundation, Presented to the Board of Education for Approval, December 19, 2002. 9 Little Rock School District, A Vision for the Future Strategic Plan. 1998-2003.6 n the implementation of high quality standards-based curricula in mathematics and science for all K-12 itudents. ^ead Teachers continue to serve as the critical link between professional development and the mplementation of high quality standards-based curricula. They work to ensure that content and jedagogy obtained through professional development is apparent in daily classroom practice. Lead eachers provide evidence that is needed to make decisions regarding professional development. rior to 1999, the Districts assessment program consisted of the administration of the SAT-9 to grades i, 5, 7, 8, and 10, and the state Benchmark exam for mathematics and literacy to grades 4 and 8. In iddition, the PLAN and Explore, ACT, SAT, and AP exams were also administered. This system was lot meeting the needs of the District. Therefore, a revised assessment system was designed to monitor individual student growth in a single year and longitudinally, was developed and enacted beginning with the 1999-2000 school year. Results from data obtained from these tests have guided decisions regarding professional development and curriculum adjustments. Further impact of the CPMSA is evident in increased enrollment and success of students in upper level mathematics and science courses. Prior to 1999, high school seniors largely occupied physics classes in the Little Rock School Districts five high schools. One reason for this was the level and amount of mathematics required for students to learn traditional high school physics. As a result of a 1999 policy enacted by the Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District, all freshmen (ninth grade) students are required to enroll in a more conceptual physics course. Collaborations between the Little Rock School District and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock led to the development of graduate level courses for teachers desiring to receive physics endorsement required to teach the course. In the 1999- 2000 school year, enrollment in physics courses increased by more than ten times the previous year. In addition, the number of teachers qualified to teach physics increased from five (approximately one per high school) to an additional nineteen who completed the coursework required for a physics endorsement. The District experienced major increases in the enrollment and success of seventh and eighth grade students in Algebra I from 1999-2000 to 2001-2002 school year. One reason for this was the implementation of the Summer Mathematics Advanced Readiness Training (SMART) Program. Critical skills for Algebra I were reinforced and enhanced during the two-week session through a variety of instructional strategies. Rising eighth and ninth grade students were invited to participate to improve their readiness for Algebra I and increase the overall enrollment. Much progress has been made toward the achievement of a single, standards-based, inquiry-centered, K- 12 mathematics and science education system as driven by the Little Rock CPMSA. The following report briefly describes the standards-based implementation organized around the four critical drivers and their impact on improved student achievement (drivers five and six). All fifty schools in the Little Rock School District have participated in and received direct initiative- supported services of the Little Rock CPMSA since its inception. More specifically, all teachers in all schools at identified grade levels participated in professional development programs aimed at the implementation of high quality curriculum in mathematics and science. All teachers in all classrooms at all fifty schools implemented revisions in the mathematics and science curricula. Therefore, all students were impacted directly by the CPMSA-sponsored services.

The curriculum was described in the districts Curriculum Standards and Benchmarks and was aligned with the Arkansas Mathematics and Science Frameworks, which in turn based on the NCTM and NSES standards. The mathematics and science standards were were correlated to the major assessments used by the district and were supported by intensive and prolonged 11 Little Rock School District, Little Rock Comprehensive Partnerships for Mathematics and Science Achievement, Annual Progress Report, 2001-2002.10 irofessional development. The curriculum support materials included many nationally recognized esources that were specifically developed to address national standards in mathematics and science. ^ead Teachers provided support in the form of classroom-based technical assistance, professional ievelopment, joint planning, demonstration teaching and team teaching for all schools. Lead Teachers ierved as the link between professional development and classroom practice to help ensure that the content and pedagogy included as professional development became actualized in the classroom. Classroom teachers developed a K-12 alignment that adhered to the philosophy that fewer topics addressed in greater depth should be targeted for each grade level. The teachers, working with Lead Teachers and the Mathematics and Science Department developed pacing guides to promote more uniformity in curriculum and instruction across schools. This same group developed criterion- referenced tests (CRTs) for administration at the end of each math and science module to provide a formative measure of how well students learned the content and skills in the curriculum. The CRTs had embedded items that were patterned after the high-stakes Arkansas Benchmark Exams, the Achievement Level Tests, and the Stanford-9 Achievement Test. Systemic improvement of mathematics and science in the district resulted from several factors. First, the alignment of the written standards and benchmarks, nationally developed and validated curriculum materials, professional development, and assessment created high quality math and science curricula. This alignment improved each year as data were used to check for strengths and weaknesses in the system. Another key factor was the coordination of resources, professional development, and technical assistance provided by the Lead Teachers. Finally, the convergence of resources, both financial and human, fueled the change process that led to a higher-performing system. 2.1 Mathematics and Science Curriculum Resources Nationally developed and validated curriculum resources were utilized at most grade levels/courses. Locally developed materials also supported the curriculum. Major revisions of the high school mathematics and science curriculum occurred in SY 2001-02. Curricula were developed for each high school course (Algebra I - Pre-Calculus) reflecting the alignment with national and state standards and frameworks. In addition, high-quality activities were integrated to encourage teachers to use more hands-on, minds-on strategies to bring real-world experiences to the classroom. The following table contains a list of resource materials which were used at each grade level in mathematics and science.

The use of standards-based pedagogy in the mathematics and science classrooms is an important factor in improving student achievement in mathematics and science. Several data gathering tools are used to follow-up to determine if standards-based pedagogy included in professional development are taking root in the classroom. First, Lead Teachers assigned to all the districts schools visit classrooms and report their observations. These observations are recorded on a classroom observation checklist. Second, teachers were surveyed after the 2001-02 school year to self-report how well prepared they were to implement strategies consistent with standards-based instruction. Third, at selected middle schools and all high schools, students were asked to report on the strategies used by their teachers in mathematics and science classes. 2.3 Professional Development * rofessional development is a major strategy used by all NSF Urban Systemic Initiative (USI) Sites and supported by a variety of district policies. The primary aims of professional development activities are to improve teachers content knowledge, pedagogic skills for inquiry-based teaching, and methods of ^sessing student learning. For example, basic classroom management skills are an essential part of teaching and should be mastered. Courses to improve teachers content knowledge of both mathematics12 and science are important. Thus mathematics and science teachers benefit from calculus-based physics courses. According to the Board of Education of the Little Rock School District policy professional development means a coordinated set of planned learning activities for teachers and administrators which are standards-based and continuous. Professional development will result in individual, schoolwide, and system-wide improvement designed to insure that all students demonstrate proficiency on the state academic standards. Approved professional development will be linked to the schools improvement plan, demonstrate research-based best practice, and be subject-specific and site-specific as often as possible. As per Arkansas State Board of Education regulations, all certified employees of the Little Rock School District will complete a minimum of 30 required approved hours of professional development annually, six of which must be in instructional technology^. Additional statements concerning professional development are available from the Arkansas Department of Education and the Arkansas Professional Development Council'. Information about licensure for public school teachers and administrators is available from the Arkansas Department of Education'  . Figure 3 illustrates the certification trends of grades 6 to 12 mathematics and science teachers. In this figure, the percentage of teachers certified for the subject, that she or he teaches, is shown. Figure 4 below illustrates the number of teachers that have been designated: Job Not Certified. They may be certified to teach some subject, but it is not in the subject which she or he teaches. These certification data were obtained from the Little Rock School District Annual Accreditation Reports, which are released by the Arkansas Department of Education. They confirm the need for more efforts to obtain qualified middle school mathematics teachers and qualified high school science teachers for the subjects which they are teaching.

Additional funds to support professional development were provided from three major sources: 1) Dwight D. Eisenhower Program, 2) Safe Schools/Healthy Students Grant, and 3) Little Rock School District Substitute Teacher Budget. Most notable among these was the districts willingness to transfer the funds included in the substitute teacher budget to the Mathematics and Science Department for use in paying stipends to teachers for training during the summer. Professional development for teachers in years one and two of the CPMSA Project was initially directed ^ward module-specific content and pedagogy (e.g., training on how to teach the CMP module Bits and leces). During years three and four, module-specific training was provided for new curriculum modules that were added\nhowever, training began to shift toward a focus on specific needs that were ' entified in years one and two. Content-based university courses were offered, various teaching strategies were studied in greater depth, high-level implementers were utilized as leaders of professional evelopment, and alternative assessment practices were examined. Study groups, vertical teams, and onzontal teams met to focus on strategies for improving student learning. For example, the average number of hours of professional development during year four and the primary topics of professional evelopment are listed in the chart below.

Following is a brief description of the professional development provided for each of these groups. Ci\nt, I -rincipals and other Administrators - Principals and other administrators received training in several Ways. First of all, a curriculum day sponsored by the Division of Curriculum and Instruction was an annual event that focused on curriculum issues. This event over the past several years had been used to talk about systemic change in math and science. Principals and administrators attended concurrent sessions related to the new math and science programs before the programs were implemented in the district. Second, principals participated in PIP (Priority Intervention Procedures) cluster meetings with curriculum staff. The staff and principals discussed how to foster school improvement in literacy, math, ^d science. These meetings preceded the submission of the annual school improvement plans from every school. Third, principals met regularly during the school year in cluster groups for professional II J17 development. Fourth, principals learned about the math and science modules by attending professional development sessions for teachers or through training-on-the-spot by the Lead Teacher assigned to their buildings. These efforts helped to provide extended professional development for principals in the systemic change that their schools were experiencing. _ ew Teachers  New teachers participated in an intensive professional development program over the course of their first year of teaching. Module-specific training in mathematics and/or science was provided to quickly prepare new teachers to teach the curriculum. In addition, each new teacher was assigned a mentor teacher. The mentor teacher was equipped through the Arkansas Pathwise Mentoring Program training to assist the new teachers in a variety of ways. Parents - Parents had opportunities to attend training at school-based Parent Teacher Association meetings that would give them an overview of the math and science programs and answer their questions and concerns and to participate with their children in Family Math and Science nights where they would get a more in-depth look at the math and science programs by actually participating in standards-based math and science activities. For example, two Parent Institutes were held during the 200L2002 school year. Parents had an opportunity to participate in a variety of sessions including sessions about the math and science curriculum and District testing. The District cable channel also broadcast programs that pertained to the math and science programs. Lead Teachers - Lead teachers and other members of the CPMSA staff participated in an average of 68 ours of professional development during year four. The professional development of lead teachers can be grouped into several categories:  Content training  Program-specific training (Investigations, Science and Technology for Children, Connected Mathematics, SEPUP, ChemCom, etc.)  Pedagogy  Workshop Leader  Mentoring  Systemic Change in Math and Science  Assessment  Technology  ESL (English as a second language)  Classroom Management Each Lead Teacher completed the Arkansas Pathwise Mentoring Program training that trained them to OnCprVA llAW ____________  o o o observe new teachers, recognize performance on 19 criteria, provide written summaries of a teachers  J . ~ waix/v/ \u0026gt; VlilVllA) Wllllvll oUIlUllc rmance an provide suggestions for the continued development of the teacher. 2.4 Assessment System LRSD School Board in August 1999 continued to guide r ion 0 outcomes.

Test items include multiple- c oice an open response questions on grade level standards and benchmarks from The Arkansas Test items include multiple- I18 Mathematics, Reading, and English/Language Arts Curriculum Frameworks. Grade appropriate items are developed with the assistance and approval of the Arkansas Department of Mathematics Content Advisory Committee composed of active Arkansas educators with expertise in mathematics. Percentile scores allow comparison by grade level to test takers statewide. 2.4.2 Achievement Level Tests These assessments are administered in May in grades 2-8, and they provide RIT (Rasch Unit) scale scores for both mathematics and science. Test items, also aligned with standards and benchmarks in the aforementioned Arkansas Curriculum Frameworks, are selected from a pool of items from the test development company by a balance (race, gender, grade level) of District math and science teachers and curriculum specialists. RIT scale scores show a students current achievement level along the curriculum scale and allow comparison by grade level to ALT test takers nationwide - currently a group of 104 school districts with 500,000 students that grows four to thirteen points annually. Locally developed Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRTs) were administered quarterly for Algebra I and II, Geometry and Trigonometry. End-of-module CRTs were administered across the elementary and middle school grade levels. Results were used locally to define additional professional development and instructional strategies. 2.5 Student Support Daily teaching and learning experiences in the classroom must be oriented toward high content standards, must convey high learning expectations for diverse groups of students, and must promote a connection among schools, homes, and communities. Learning must be reinforced and supplemented with appropriate out-of-school activities. The following is a list of services provided for the students in the Little Rock School District at various times throughout the school year. Students who participated in the following programs were closely monitored to measure impact. 2.5.1 SMART (Summer Mathematics Advanced Readiness Training) SMART is a two-week summer program for rising eighth and ninth grade students preparing for enrollment in Algebra I. In 2001-2002, a total of 278 students completed the program. SMART is designed to prepare students for success in Algebra I, and to motivate them to continue their education in the areas of mathematics and science. One hundred (100) Afiican American and Hispanic rising 8* grade students were identified based on their spring ALT score and grades in mathematics as having the potential to be successful in Algebra I as 8* graders. These students were invited to participate in SMART and the follow-up program. An added feature of SMART 2002 was the integration of the Riverdeep Interactive software. Students who participated in SMART 2002 were invited to participate in Project THRIVE during the 2002-2003 school year. Project THRIVE is a Saturday academy for students currently enrolled in Algebra I. (See additional information about SMART in Outputs and Outcomes Section) 2.5.2 THRIVE Project THRIVE is a Saturday academy provided in collaboration between Philander Smith College (PSC) and the Little Rock School District. Students who participated in SMART 2001 and enrolled in Algebra I participated in 12 Saturday sessions facilitated by LRSD teachers and PSC undergraduate mentors. In 2001-2002, the program served 141 students. 2.5.3 SECME SECME is a pre-engineering program that is currently active in nearly half of the schools in the Little Rock School District. Students compete locally in various events, such as mousetrap car design, essay, banner design, and bridge building, to win the opportunity to compete on the national level. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) College of Information Science and Systems Engineering19 served as the primary partner for SECME. They hosted local events as well as provided technical assistance to school coordinators. 2.5.4 After School Discovery Clubs After School Discovery Clubs, a partnership between the Little Rock School District and the Arkansas Museum of Discovery, was designed to increase students interest and knowledge in science. During the 2001-2002 school year. After School Discovery Clubs were established in each middle school as a part of the extended day program that provided structured activities for students. Students participated in hands-on activities facilitated by a Museum of Discovery educator. Each semester culminated with a visit to the Museum of Discovery. The program served 329 students during the 2001-2002 school year. The Districts Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant provided funding for the 2001-2002 After School Discovery Clubs. 3 Policy Support for High Quality Learning and Teaching This driver for educational system reform promotes the development of a coherent, consistent set of policies that supports: provision of high quality mathematics and science education for each student\nexcellent preparation, continuing education, and support for each mathematics and science teacher (including all elementary teachers)\nand administrative support for all persons who work to dramatically improve achievement among all students served by the system. Since the LRSD conducted an intensive review and revision of its policies and regulations during 1998-99, few changes have been necessary. The following is a summary of policy revisions that have occurred since fall 2001: Table 4: Little Rock School District Policy Revisions Effective Fall 2001 NEPN Code lAA lAA-R IBA ID-R IHBEA, IHBEA- R IHCDA-R IKC-R IKEC-Rl IKEC-R3 Title__________________ Professional Development Professional Development Waivers Student Schedules English As A Second Language Concurrent Enrollment Class Rankings/Grade-Point Averages Credit for College Dual-Credit Courses and College Summer Enrichment Programs Credit By Examination Purpose___________________________________________ Established formal policy linking professional development to expectations for improved student achievement.________ Established procedures for various professional development programs.______________________________ Established a policy to consider waivers from certain waivers to improve student achievement.________________ Established minimum time required for instruction of each subject area grades PreK-8.___________________________ Revised procedures and guidelines for ensuring that students who are limited-English- proficient (LEP) achieve the curriculum content standards and benchmarks established by the State of Arkansas and the Little Rock District.___________________________________________ Revised procedures for students to enroll concurrently in high school and in an area college or university for college credit only.________________________________________ Revised procedures and guidelines for calculating gradepoint average and rank in class.

Funding provided by the Little Rock CPMSA is intended to be a catalyst for the mathematics and science education reform effort. Using 2001-2002 as representative school year, local, state and federal funds and resources supporting mathematics and science efforts were leveraged and allocated to reinforce an articulated, coherent, and unitary program of high-quality mathematics and science for all students. Approximately 30% of the Districts Title I funds ($1,229,336) were used to enhance mathematics and science instruction in elementary and middle schools in the areas of professional development, purchase of instructional materials, and salaries for personnel. The following is an illustration of how leveraged resources were used to support the activities outlined in the LR CPMSA strategic plan: 4.1 Personnel Mathematics and science Lead Teachers for elementary, middle and high school help facilitate the implementation of high quality standards-based mathematics and science curricula in the classroom. Local and federal funds were leveraged to support this effort. Funding for the mathematics and science project support staff (not supported by NSF funds) along with one-half of the NSF evaluator totaled $467,828. This amount was obtained from the Class-Size Reduction Allocation, Title VI Funds, Local District funds, Dwight D. Eisenhower Fund, and Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant. In addition, the principal investigator and two co-principal investigators provided in-kind contributions to oversee the management and implementation of the plan. Services of three state math specialists were donated as in-kind contributions to provide technical support to teachers as well as to conduct professional development activities for LRSD teachers. 4.1.1 Professional Development District funds were leveraged to release a mathematics teacher for one-half day (2-3 days per week) to serve as district coordinator for the mathematics vertical team. As a result of this addition to the project staff, a newsletter is published quarterly and meetings are held monthly after school to facilitate coherence within the 6-12 mathematics curriculum. Local, state, and federal funds are necessary to provide ongoing professional development that is critical for systemic reform in mathematics and science. The Dwight D. Eisenhower funds were used to provide opportunities for mathematics and science teachers to participate in professional development activities and to offset expenses for training materials. A major portion of District funds were also leveraged to provide substitutes, stipends, or release time for mathematics and science teachers who participate in the ongoing training required for effective implementation of the mathematics and/or science curriculum. Graduate level content-based courses were offered through the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) for elementary, middle, and high school mathematics teachers. Tuition support was provided by LRSD, a UALR grant, and LR CPMSA. 4.1.2 Special Population The basic premise of the Little Rock CPMSA is that all students Pre-K - 12 should be afforded intellectually challenging and appropriate curricula, supported by adequate educational resources, and taught by appropriately trained teachers. The Division of Instruction, which encompasses the Division for Exceptional Children along with the mathematics and science department, has been the driving force for creating a unitary program to improve mathematics and science for all students. All mathematics21 and science training sessions, along with all other core content area training, have included modifications for students classified in the following areas: 504, Special Education, Gifted and Talented Education, Limited English Proficiency, and Title 1. Self-contained special education teachers participated in mathematics and science training sessions that provided an overview of the curriculum and implementation strategies for self-contained students. In addition, collaborative efforts between the Mathematics/Science Department and the Special Education Department resulted in the acquisition of instructional materials/equipment for self-contained classrooms. 4.1.3 ESL An ongoing comprehensive professional development program was offered for all teachers who work with Limited-English Proficient students. The program was composed of two distinct parts. The first part was the ESL endorsement program that was organized in conjunction with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The second part of the professional development program maintained the same focus as the first part but was designed to accommodate larger numbers of teachers. For example, during the 2001-02 school year, 47 elementary and secondary teachers completed coursework required for an ESL endorsement. Of those, 68 percent (32) taught mathematics and/or science. Title I, class size reduction, state grant, and District resources were used to fund these activities. 4.2 Student Academic Support Programs In SY 2001-2002, more than $115,267 was leveraged by local, federal, and private funding agencies for Student Academic Support Programs. The following table describes the resources leveraged in support of each activity: Activity___________ After School Discovery Clubs SMART 2002 Cost $15,240 Funding Sonrce(s)_____________ Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant $100,027 21 Century Community LEADERS2 LR CPMSA Riverdeep Interactive Software (provided site license for use of mathematics software) 4.3 Curricula Materials/Supplies The Little Rock School District is committed to providing high quality standards based mathematics and science instruction for all students. More than $ 180,000 was allotted for the purchase of instructional and refurbishment materials for mathematics and science classrooms. 4.4 Integration of Technology All certified personnel in the Little Rock School District are required to complete thirty hours of professional development per year. Six of those hours must be in instructional technology. Technology was integrated throughout most of the professional development activities for mathematics and science teachers. Requirements for graduation include at least all students. one unit of credit in technological applications for 5 Partnerships of Leadership: Broad-Based Support An infrastructure of partnerships that strongly supports systemic change in mathematics and science education is a critical piece of the Little Rock CPMSA. For example, a comprehensive effort was made during the 2001-2002 school year to maximize the broad-based support of key stakeholders. The LR CPMSA Governing Board met to oversee the development of the goals, the implementation of the activities, and the assessment of outcomes. J22 Systemic change continues to be an ongoing cycle of collaborations between the learning communities of the Little Rock School District to improve student achievement in mathematics and science. Lead teachers, for example, help lead systemic reform by providing on-going technical assistance and support to teachers in their individual schools. Change, as directed by the LR CPMSA project staff, supports school improvement and district improvement efforts. The cycle is complete with the support of senior District persormel, principals, parents and community, institutions of higher learning, and of course, all K-12 mathematics and science teachers. 5.1 Parent/Family/Community Involvement For example, two Parent Institutes were held during the 2001-2002 school year. More than 150 people attended each institute that featured sessions on curriculum, assessment, graduation requirements, and how to help students at home. Local elementary school PTA meetings and special called parent/family meetings served as a means for keeping parents and family members apprised of the Districts mathematics and science program. Lead teachers, in collaborations with principals and teachers, provided a rationale for the mathematics and science programs and shared hands-on activities showing connections to the standards and higher-level thinking. Parents/families had an opportunity to ask questions and participate in activities with their children. Curriculum packets designed to share the goals of each mathematics module, major classroom activities used to support those goals, and strategies for parents to utilize with their children at home were developed for each mathematics module for grades K-8. These packets were available for checkout through school libraries. 5.2 Primary Partners The LR CPMSA is fortunate to have ongoing partnerships with three major institutions that are committed to improving mathematics and science education for all students in the Little Rock School District. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), Philander Smith College (PSC), and the Arkansas Museum of Discovery (AMOD) have provided opportunities for students and teachers in mathematics and science. 5.2.1 University of Arkansas at Little Rock The University of Arkansas at Little Rock, through the College of Education, College of Information Science and Systems Engineering, and the College of Mathematics and Science, provided professional development opportunities for teachers and participated on the Little Rock CPMSA Governing Board. In 2001-2002, for example, two mathematics content-based courses on the topics of geometry and rational numbers were developed for K-5 teachers. Activities, aligned with the Investigations curriculum, emphasized the mathematics content aimed at deepening the content knowledge of teachers in mathematics. A new course was developed and offered to high school geometry teachers. Strategies for Teaching Geometry was developed based on the Arkansas geometry goals and results of the end-of- course geometry Benchmark. Over 27 teachers participated in the three-hour graduate level course. Each course was team-taught by a UALR instructor and an instructor(s) from the Little Rock School District. 5.2.2 Philander Smith College In 2001-2002, for example. Philander Smith College provided the site of the Project THRIVE session for students taking Algebra I. Undergraduate students serving as mentors contributed to the Little Rock CPMSA in an advisory capacity during SY 2001-2002 by serving on the governing board. Plans were developed to offer a Saturday academy. Project THRIVE, as a follow-up activity for students who participated in SMART 2001 {See Student Support). 5.2.3 Arkansas Museum of Discovery23 The Arkansas Museum of Discovery (AMOD) provided opportunities that engaged diverse audiences in an interdisciplinary and humanistic discovery of the sciences, social sciences, and technology. AMOD served the LR CPMSA in an advisory capacity and provided support for students in science. The activities of the After School Discovery Clubs (see Student Support) were aligned with the Little Rock School District content standards and benchmarks for science. 6 Measures of Effectiveness Focused on Student Outcomes Outcomes are presented in this section to provide evidence that the CPMSA is enhancing student achievement. Key indicators for successfill CPMSA implementation include enrollment in upper level mathematics and science courses, results of student performance on state-mandated norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests, and participation and scores on college entrance examinations. 6.1 National Trends in Mathematics and Science Achievement The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a project of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the U.S. Department of Education and is overseen by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB). Since 1969, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has been the sole ongoing national indicator of what American students know and can do in major academic subjects. Detailed reports on NAEP assessments, such as The Nations Report Card: Mathematics 2000 and The Nation's Report Card: Science 2000, are available on the Web at: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard. Over the years, NAEP has measured students achievement in many subjects, including reading, mathematics, science, writing, history, civics, geography, and the arts. In 2000 and 2002, NAEP conducted assessments in reading at grade 4 and in 2000 in mathematics and science at grades 4, 8, and 12. In addition, NAEP conducted state-by-state assessments in mathematics and science at grades 4 and 8. Results^for the 2000 NAEP mathematics assessment show overall gains in fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth graders average scores since 1990, the first year in which the current mathematics assessment was administered. Twelfth-graders performance, however, has declined since 1996. National scores in 2000 were higher than in 1996, 1992, or 1990 for fourth- and eighth-graders. This was not the case for twelfth-graders.. The average score for high school seniors was lower in 2000 than in 1996. However, twelfth-graders average score was higher in 2000 than in 1990. Results for the 2000 NAEP science assessment show no significant change in grades 4 and 8, and a ec me in performance at grade 12 since 1996. This science assessment was first administered to nationally representative samples of fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade students in 1996. In 2000, the average scores of fourth- and eighth-graders were essentially unchanged from 1996. The only significant change in average score results occurred at grade 12, where there was a statistically significant decline in students average score. It should be noted that every test has a standard error of measurement. Achievement levels provide a context for interpreting students performance on NAEP. These performance standards, set by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), are based on recommendations from broadly representative panels and educators and members of the public and determine what students should know and be able to do for the Basic, Proficient, and Advanced levels of performance in each subject area and grade level assessed. As provided by law, the Acting Commissioner of Education Statistics, upon review of a congressionally- mandated evaluation of NAEP, has determined that the achievement levels are to be considered developmental and should be interpreted and used with caution. t I I J24 However, both the Acting Commissioner and NAGB believe that these performance standards are useful for understanding trends in student achievement. NAEP achievement levels have been widely used by national and state officials, including the National Education Goals Panel. The achievement level policy definitions are as follows:  Basic. This level denotes partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at each grade.  Proficient'. This level represents solid academic performance for each grade assessed. Students reaching this level have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter, including subject-matter knowledge, application of such knowledge to real-world situations, and analytical skills appropriate to the subject matter.  Advanced'. This level signifies superior performance. In mathematics, according to the NAEP, the percentages of fourth-graders and eighth-graders at or above Basic and at or above Proficient have increased across the decade, reaching their highest levels in 2000. At grade 12, the results are mixed. From 1996 to 2000 there was decrease in the percentage at or above the Basic achievement level. However, the percentage of twelfth-graders at or above both the Basic and Proficient achievement levels was higher in 2000 than in 1990. In science, according to the NAEP, the 2000 science assessment results show few changes since 1996 in the percentages of students at or above any of the NAEP achievement levels. At grade 4, there was no change between 1996 and 2000 in the percentage of students attaining any of the achievement levels. At grade 8, however, between 1996 and 2000 there was an increase in the percentage of students reaching the Proficient achievement level or above. At grade 12, the percentage of students at or above the Basic achievement level declined between 1996 and 2000. In order to display assessment information about schools in the Little Rock School District, we use stacked bars in the graphs. The length of each bar is proportional to the number of student scores which fell within that range. Basic range. Proficient range, and Advanced range may be described as follows:  All scores which lie below the Basic achievement level are characterized by the color aqua.  All scores which lie above the Basic achievement level and below the Proficient achievement level fall in the Basic range and are characterized by the color lime.  All scores which lie above the Proficient achievement level and below the Advanced achievement level fall in the Proficient range and are characterized by the color plum or dark red.  All scores which lie above the Advanced achievement level fall in the Advanced range are characterized by the color blue or ocean blue. If a set of data is arranged in order of magnitude, the values, which divide the data into four equal parts, are called quartiles and denoted by gi, Q2, and 04. Thus the percentage of scores within each quartlie is 25 percent. The percentages shown in the graph are relative to those quartiles obtained from ^e national distribution of data (scores). In this report, the achievement level description was used instead. The actual percentage of LRSD student scores within a national quartile, 0i, data range was reported as percentage within Below Basic range, the actual percentage within a national quartile, Qz, as within Basic range, and the actual percentage within a national quartile as number of scores within Proficient range. The top quartile, Qu, was reported as Advanced range. The following chart illustrates performance on assessments relative to achievement levels.25 (100) Advanced Range (75-99) Advanced Achievement Level (75) Proficient Range (50-74) Proficient Achievement Level (50) Basic Range 25-49) Basic Achievement Level (25) Below Basic Range (0-24) Performance at or above Basic achievement level (25-99) Performance at or above Proficient achievement level (50-99) Performance at or above Advanced achievement level (75-99 The bars in the following figures represent the proportion of students in each of three achievement level ranges: Basic, Proficient, and Advanced as well as students below Basic. The horizontal line that intersects the vertical axis at 0% divides the proportion of student scores which were above the Proficient or Advanced achievement level from those student scores which fell in the Below Basic range or in the Basic range. 6.2 Determining Improvement from Changes in Percentages of Students Who Performed At or Above Different Achievement Levels The cooperative agreement with NSF (Amendment No. 3) states that assessment data from the CPMSA pro^am for Years 3,4, and 5 will be used to determine an annual increase in achievement levels. To minimize the inherent volatility associated with the natural variation in annual performance, the trend was determined by computing the change in percentage points per year for each achievement level: Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. For this purpose, the slope of a regression line was computed from the data for SY 2000-2001, SY 2001-2002, and SY 2002-2003. The first NSF driver focuses on sustainable success in changing the systems approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics and science in K-12. Implementation of a comprehensive, standards-based curriculum and/or instructional materials that are aliped with instruction and assessment really began in the first year (SY 1998-99) of the NSF award. With the convergence of resources that reasonably could be used to support science and mathematics education, this systemic program was more fully implemented in SY 2000-2001. By this date, the general education graduation requirements for the Little Rock School District were three (3) units of mathematics: Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II or Statistics\nand three (3) units of science: Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Also, the transition to middle schools had taken place by SY 2000-2001. Therefore, assessment data from previous years will be shown, but improvement will be determined from the last three years of data: 2000-2001,2001-2002, and 2002-2003. State-Mandated Assessments The results of state-mandated assessments are shown below. These criterion-referenced tests are administered to establish the level of student achievement relative to the Arkansas academic standards and to compare the level of student achievement with performance levels set by the State Board of Education.26 6.3 Mathematics Assessment in Grade 6 with the Arkansas Benchmark In Figure 8, the intermediate Benchmark assessment for mathematics assessment in grade 6 is shown as quartiles for SY 2000-2001, SY 2001-2002, and SY 2002-2003. SY 2001-2001 was a pilot year for that benchmark assessment. Thus no Benchmark data for grade 6 exists prior to SY 2000-2001. For the Arkansas Benchmark Assessment in grade 6 mathematics, the percentage of students below the basic achievement level decreased from 66 percent to 55 percent from SY 2000-2001 to SY 2002-2003. Figure 9 shows the achievement levels corresponding to these quartiles for each of the three years.

The percentage of LRSD students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level was changed as follows  In grade 6, this percentage increased approximately 2.8 points per year.  The percentage of students who performed at or above the Advanced achievement level was changed as follows  In grade 6, this percentage increased approximately 0.5 points per year. In order to better understand these annual rates of change in achievement level, two additional numbers were computed. On the Basic Level line in the table, an annual rate of reduction in the number of students below the Basic achievement level was determined by dividing the total percent of students below the Basic achievement level by 10. On the Proficient Level line in the table, an annual rate of reduction in the number of students below the Proficient achievement level was determined by dividing the total percent of students below the Proficient achievement level by 10. These rates answer the question: What rate of change would be necessary to reduce the number of students below Basic achievement level or Proficient achievement level by ten percent? For a reference, the changes in achievement levels in the table may be compared with these two numbers, which are shown in the following tables. The quartile data for computing these two numbers came from the most recent assessments in SY 2002-2003.30 Table 5: Grade 6 Improvement in Achievement Levels on Benchmark Assessment in Mathematics 77 Grade 6 Change in Achievement Levels in Percentage Points per Year Compared to Other Rates All Students in District Caucasian Students African American Students Basic Level Proficient Level Advanced Level Change 5.3 4.7 1.2 Rate 5.5 8.0 Change 5.6 11.8 4.0 Rate 1.8 4.6 Change 5.3 2.8 0.5 Rate 6.8 9.2 6.4 Mathematics Assessment in Grade 4 and Grade 8 with the Arkansas Benchmark In the following figure, the primary benchmark assessment for mathematics in grade 4 and the middle level benchmark assessment for mathematics in grade 8 mathematics are shown as quartiles from 1998 to 2003. The next figure shows the achievement levels corresponding to the quartile data.

In grade 8 mathematics, the percentage of students below the basic achievement level decreased from 65 percent to 44 percent from SY 1998-1999 to SY 2002-2003. 18 On the Basic Level line in the table, an annual rate of reduction in the number of students below the Basic achievement level was determined by dividing the total percent of students below the Basic achievement level by 10. On the Proficient Level line in the table, an annual rate of reduction in the number of students below the Proficient achievement level was determined by dividing the total percent of students below the Proficient achievement level by 10.

The eleven teachers who are using the Read180 intervention strategies are participating in continuing professional development activities.  Technology issues related to construction projects continue to keep both departments busy. This month we have been working on Mann, Central, and the Technology Center.

Since that time, Act 1729 of 2003 was approved to change the grade range from K-9 to K-8. Since the K-9 grade span was written in one Board Policy and two (2) Regulations, those three documents are being corrected to reflect the revised requirement of Act 1729.

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKF GENERAL EDUCATION GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS The Little Rock School District Board of Education believes that students should graduate from high school possessing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed for responsible citizenship, life-long learning, and productive employment in our modern economy. Programs for post-secondary preparation will be available to equip students for the advanced training that will be needed for the work of the 21 st century. The Little Rock School District will be responsible for providing the educational opportunities and experiences that will enable our students to take full advantage of post-secondary education and employment opportunities available to them after graduation. Diploma-Earning Options A student may earn a diploma from a Little Rock School District high school in one of four ways. Each has different requirements and different numbers of required units of credit. 1. Diploma from any of the five high schools for completion of the required 24 units for the classes of 2002 and 2003\nor the required 26 units for the class of 2004 and after. 2. Diploma from any of the five high schools for completion of the Little Rock Scholars curriculum of 27 units for the class of 2003\nor 28 units, including at least eight Pre-Advanced Placement or Advanced Placement courses, for the class of 2004 and after. Hall High School students may take University Studies courses as substitutes for Pre-Advanced Placement and/or Advanced Placement courses. 3. Diploma earned at the Accelerated Learning Center for completion of the 21 units required by the State of Arkansas. 4. Diploma with waived or altered requirements established by an Individual Education Program (IEP) team for a student identified with disabilities. Even though the graduation requirements may be changed by the Board of Education during the time a student is enrolled in high school, the requirements established for a student's graduation class (assuming graduation in four years of high school) are those he/she must meet, even though he/she may require more than four years to earn the necessary number of units. Units of credit will generally be earned in grades nine through twelve, except that one unit of Algebra I (or higher-level mathematics) and Level I (or higher level) of foreign language may be earned in grade eight. High school courses taken before grade eight will not satisfy a unit of credit toward graduation.

The LRSD high school will accept transfer credits and grades for students who previously attended Arkansas high schools that are accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education or out-of-state high schools that are accredited by their state department of education and/or a regional accreditation organization such as the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. Additionally, students who transfer into a Little Rock School District high school from a home school must attend at least two semesters in order to receive a high school diploma (see IKED and IKED-R). Former home school students must attend at least four semesters in order to be eligible for rank-in-class (see IKC-R). Foreign Exchange students who complete the senior year in good standing may, at the discretion of the principal, participate in the graduation ceremony. Senior-Year Enrollment Requirements Students participating in dual-credit courses with local colleges/universities during their senior year must be enrolled in high school courses at least half time for their senior year (four units of credit) or full-time during the fall semester in order to receive a diploma from a Little Rock School District high school. This enrollment standard is required regardless of how many credits a student may need to satisfy graduation requirements. (See IKEC-R1 for regulations governing dual-credit enrollments.) Magnet Program Seal Students who participate in the District's high school magnet programs may meet the magnet curriculum requirements through completion of the designated Career Focus courses established for each magnet. In order to receive a Magnet Seal, magnet students must complete fill the requirements of the magnet program. Students transferring into a magnet program after the freshman year may earn a diploma from that high school, but they will not earn the Magnet Seal. Arkansas Scholars Seal A special Arkansas Scholars seal will be affixed to the diploma and transcript of a student who meets the following standards established by the Arkansas Scholars program: 1. Earn a grade of \"C\" or above in all courses. 2. Achieve a 95 percent or better attendance record for each of the four years of high school. 2 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKF (continued) 3. Complete high school in eight consecutive semesters. 4. Complete successfully at least three units in science, three units in mathematics, three units of social studies, and four units in English. Honors Diploma Seal A special Honors Seal will be affixed to the diploma and transcript of a student who meets the following standards: 1. Completes the units required for the Little Rock Scholars curriculum, which includes and goes beyond the requirements of the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board for unconditional admission to any public twoyear or four-year institution of higher education in Arkansas and which includes, but goes beyond, the requirements for eligibility for the Arkansas Challenge Scholarship. The Little Rock Scholars curriculum also reflects the admission requirements of the most competitive universities in the United States of America. 2. Successfully completes a minimum of eight Pre-Advanced Placement or Advanced Placement courses over a four-year period. Hall High School students may take University Studies courses as substitutes for PreAdvanced Placement and/or Advanced Placement courses. Other approved dual-credit courses offered to LRSD students in collaboration with area colleges/ universities may also be substituted for the Pre-AP or AP requirement. 3. Earns a grade-point-average of at least 3.5. Students designated for valedictory or salutatory recognition must have completed the Little Rock Scholars curriculum. Recognition of Graduates Each high school may design its own traditions to commend and celebrate the achievements of the following sets of graduates: 1. the valedictorian and salutatorian\n2. students earning an overall average of 3.5 or above\n3. students earning Magnet Program, Arkansas Scholars, Little Rock Scholars, and/or Honors Diploma Seals\n4. members of the National Honor Society or similar honors organization\n5. scholarship recipients\n6. students with perfect attendance throughout high school\nand 7. students whose other achievements are worthy of special recognition. 3 s ,... . a, me -:l.:,u-, ,..z o-\u0026lt; m (J) mU\u0026gt; m\u0026lt;J\u0026gt;\n:om om:S\"' cO mm u...,.U \u0026gt; !\"' ~ C s 6z\n:o ~ (J) 6z LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKF (continued) Participation in Graduation Ceremony In order to be a participant in the graduation ceremony, the student must be within one unit of completing the graduation requirements and must have paid the tuition for the one-half or one unit to be taken in summer school (or, alternately, in another approved credit-earning program). All high school students and their parents will be informed in writing of this expectation when course lists and graduation requirements are published for the spring registration process. Principals will make a determination of potential graduates at the end of the junior year and each quarter of the students' senior year and inform students and their parents immediately if it is determined that the student is in danger of not graduating. Such students will be advised of all the appropriate credit-earning options, including, but not limited to, evening high school, summer school, correspondence courses, online courses, credit-by-examination, and placement at the Accelerated Learning Center. Award of Diploma The award of the high school diploma will not be made until all graduation requirements are met.

One unit may be placement in a study hall or enrollment as a student assistant/monitor. The principal is authorized to modify this requirement if there are extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances include the following: 1. The student is enrolled in a concurrent program at a college or university. 2. The student is enrolled in a school-sponsored work program. 3. The student has an illness that precludes full-time enrollment. 4. The student demonstrates a hardship of needing to support self and/or family. 5. The student demonstrates other reasons acceptable to the district inclusive of legal matters. Dropping/Adding Courses, Grades 9-12 According to Arkansas Accreditation Standards, a student must be enrolled in a course for at least 60 clock hours in order to receive one-half unit of credit. Students, therefore, are not permitted to change their class schedules after the tenth class day of each semester to ensure that the school is in compliance. The following exceptions to the ten-day rule are permitted, but only with the high school principal's permission: 1. The student is changing from one teacher's class to another teaching the same course. 2. The student is changing from one level of a course to another, such as from the regular level to the Pre-AP level or from Pre-AP to the regular level. 3. The student is exiting an ESL adapted course in order to move into a mainstreamed equivalent course. 4. The student is dropping a course in order to enroll in a study hall or other non-credit period (only one such period is allowed in any one semester). Grades 6-8 Students must take all courses, including a double period of the Reading/Writing Workshop at each grade level, 6-8, approved by the Board of Education for the required middle school curriculum. Principals may waive the second period of Reading/Writing Workshop at the Pre-AP level at parent request, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the student and without question if the student is performing at the Proficient/ Advanced level on the state Benchmark literacy examination. Courses not required by the State of Arkansas may be waived through the waiver process. (See Policy IBA, IBA-R, and IBA-R Exhibit.) LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: ID-R (continued) Additionally, all grades 6-8 students must participate in at least one hour per week of physical training, including at least three sessions of 20 minutes each. (See IMP-R.) Middle schools may schedule classes seven periods a day, or they may elect to use the A/B block schedule, enabling students to take eight courses every two days. Grades 3-5 All students in grades 3-5 must have instruction in all the areas specified in the Arkansas Accreditation Standards. LRSD time requirements are as follows: English Language Arts/Reading 2  hours daily at grade 3\nMathematics Science Social Studies Music or Visual Art Physical Education At least 2 hours daily at grades 4-5 At least one hour daily Daily instruction\nmay be interdisciplinary Daily instruction\nmay be interdisciplinary At least one hour per week At least one hour per week, including no less than 20 minutes three times per week Time requirements that go beyond the Arkansas Accreditation Standards must be observed unless the school applies for and receives a waiver. (See IBA, IBA-R, and IBA-R Exhibit.) Grades PreK-2 All students in grades 3-5 must have instruction in all the areas specified in the Arkansas Accreditation Standards. LRSD time requirements are as follows: English Language Arts/Reading 2  hours daily Mathematics At least one hour daily Science Instruction may be interdisciplinary\nat least Social Studies Music or Visual Art Physical Education every other day, if not every day Instruction may be interdisciplinary\nat least every other day, if not every day At least one hour per week at least one hour per week, including no less than 20 minutes three times per week 2 \u0026gt;,.s..  co m c: !-I.:,(/-) ro-mz -\u0026lt; (/) m\"' m\"' :,om m:,o oS C: 0 mm \"-\u0026lt;' \"' !IJ :,0 m C) C: ~ 0z ~ \u0026lt; 1ii iz5 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: ID-R ( continued) Time requirements that go beyond the Arkansas Accreditation Standards must be observed unless the school applies for and receives a waiver.

The legislation specifies that: Goals Every kindergarten through grade eight (K-8) public educational institution in this state shall require no less than one hour per week of physical training and instruction which includes no less than twenty minutes of physical activity three times a week for every student who is physically fit and able to participate. The State's goals for this program are as follows:  Improve the health of the state's school children.  Increase knowledge about the health benefits of physical activity and exercise.  Develop behavioral and motor skills that promote a lifelong commitment to healthy physical activity.  Promote health-focused physical activity among children and adolescents\nand  Encourage physical activity outside of physical education. Required Plan for Implementation Each LRSD school must submit a plan to the Associate Superintendent for School Services during check-out in June of each school year for the implementation of this requirement. The plan should be submitted on the attached form. Schools are advised that their compliance with this law will be monitored both by the District and the Standards Review team from ADE. The law requires that \"each school will develop a physical education program which fits effectively and efficiently into the school's existing organization while incorporating the goals of this act.\" Staffing The law does not require that any school or district hire staff who are certified in physical education to supervise students' participation in these activities. Guidelines for Schools According to the ADE Director's memorandum of August 21, 2001 , the following activities are acceptable in complying with the law:  general calisthenics during a home-room period\ns  a=, m c: .ii.l,:C -J\u0026gt; or-mz -\u0026lt; Cl) m\"' mCJ\u0026gt;\nom m::O oS c:O mm \"-I' \"' 8 z g z Cl) .f.l, z  nz ! !:D ::0 !!l c:: s 0z ::0 m \u0026lt; cii cz5 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IMP-R ( continued)  organized activities during recess periods or lunch periods (if scheduled for at least 20 minutes)\n organized school athletics\n organized play that engages all students in ways to meet legal requirements\n walking nature trails.

Previously, Regulation IKC-R stated that students who make a \"C\" or \"D\" may retake a course to strengthen understanding and skills needed for advanced study and that \"the second grade will replace the first grade in the calculation of the grade-point average and rank-in-class.\" The proposed revision will change that language to, \"the higher grade will be used in the calculation of the grade-point average and rank-in-class.\" Rarely, but occasionally, a student will retake a class and make a lower grade or even fail the class the second time. The regulation, as currently written, would disallow the first grade and would record the lower grade or failed grade on the transcript and use it in calculating GP A. If the class is failed the second time, the current regulation would require the student to retake the course a third time to gain a passing grade even though the original grade was passing. The proposed revision will give more encouragement to students to improve their understanding and skills in a course without fear of losing credit for the passed course or having the GP A lowered. The second part of the revision will add a section to clarify how transfer grades are to be recorded if they are not reported to us in the same format used by LRSD. Some schools report grades in percentages rather than in letter grades\nconsequently, those percentage grades must be translated for calculating grade point average and class rank. The percentage grades will be translated using the LRSD grading scale. Objectives-!) to allow students to count the higher grade for a course re-taken to strengthen understanding and skills\n2) to provide a procedure for translating grades reported to LRSD in a format different from the one used in the district. s ,..... . a, m c: 31: en ,\"-Dz- om -m\u0026lt; eenn men\n,om m:io oS C: C') mm en en -\n.r.\u0026gt;, z  z C') ~ en Expected Outcomes- 1) to be more \"user friendly\" to students who are willing to retake a course passed with a grade of\"C\" or \"D\"\n2) to give schools direction on translating transfer grades reported in a different format from that used by LRSD.

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKC-R CLASS RANKINGS/GRADE-POINT AVERAGES All grades, except those noted in the \"exceptions\" below, earned for high school courses, including excess elective units, will be used in calculating the grade-point average and rank-in-class. Grades included in the computation are as follows: 1. Grades earned for high school courses, whether taken in the regular day, evening school, or summer school program. 2. Grades earned in alternative education programs, including those in LRSD, administered by school districts or other organizations which are accredited through their state department of education or a regional accreditation organization, such as North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA). 3. Transfer grades from accredited schools outside the Little Rock School District. 4. Algebra I (or higher-level mathematics course) and Level I foreign language (or higher-level foreign language course) taken in eighth grade. 5. Only one (1) unit of physical education. (One-half unit is required\none-half unit may count as an elective. Therefore, only the grades for one unit of physical education will be computed in the grade-point average.) 6. Grades earned in approved concurrent credit college courses offered in cooperation with institutions of higher education {see IKEC-R1 ). 7. Grades earned in summer enrichment programs conducted by institutions of higher education, if the course and credit were approved by the District (see IKEC-R1). 8. Failing grades, unless the courses was retaken and passed (see Exceptions, #1 ). 9. Grade earned for one semester of Driver Education taken from an accredited high school. 10. Grades earned on credit-by-examination to make up failed courses (see IKEC-R3). 11. Passing grade earned on advancement-by-credit for Keyboarding (see IKEC-R6). 12. Grades earned in the District's home-bound programs. 13. Grades earned in approved correspondence courses (see IKEC-R2). 14. Grades earned in approved on-line or distance-learning courses (see IKECR5). 15. Courses in which a student earns an NC (no credit due to excessive absences), unless a course was retaken and passed (see Exceptions, s . a=, m c:\nl:CI) ,-...,.z- om -\u0026lt;\"' m\"' m\n,om\"' omS\"' c:n mm .\"..' \"' 8 z ~ i5 z \"' .~., z  nz ~ \"' LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKC-R (continued) #1 ). (Regardless of the student's grade in a course for which he/she earns an NC, the NC, which equals O points, replaces the grade and is used in the calculation of the grade-point average. Exceptions The following grades will not be included in the computation of the grade-point average or rank-in-class: 1. Failing grades (or courses in which students earned an NC for nonattendance) for those courses retaken and passed ( effective for all grades 9- 12 students in fall 2001 ), regardless of when the student failed the course). 2. The lower grade of courses retaken to improve understanding and skills ( effective for all students re-taking courses previously passed from fall 2004 onward). 3. Grades in courses taken through home schools or in unaccredited schools. 4. Grades on district-administered examinations to determine credit for transfer students from home schools or unaccredited schools. 5. Grades earned in external rehabilitation programs and correctional programs that are not accredited by a state department of education or a regional accreditation organization such as North Central Association or Schools and Colleges (NCA). 6. Courses with grades of \"pass\" or \"fail\" or \"satisfactory\" or \"unsatisfactory.\" 7. Grades in courses that are officially \"dropped\" with the permission of the principal. 8. Grades or credits in below-level or remedial courses. 9. Grades for religion courses taken in non-public schools that are in excess of one-semester equivalent of the LRSD course in Bible as/in Literature. 10. A failing grade earned in Keyboarding in the advancement-by-credit program. 11. Non-credit courses such as Athletics, Office Monitor, Student Council, etc. Re-Enrollment in Courses Effective fall 2004, in order to strengthen understanding and skills needed for advanced study, students may retake a course in which they have previously earned a passing grade of \"D\" or \"C,\" including mathematics and foreign language courses taken for high school credit in grade 8. The grade will be recorded on the transcript, and the higher grade will be used in the calculation of the grade-point average and rank-in-class. A student may make up a failed course, as well as a course in which a student earned an NC, in several ways-retake the course during the regular day, evening high school, or summer school\nearn credit for a failed course through credit-by-examination\nand/or retake the failed course through correspondence, on-line, or distance learning. In any 2 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKC-R (continued) case, both the grade for the failed course and the grade for the retaken course or creditby- examination will be recorded on the transcript, but only the higher grade will be used in calculating the grade-point average and rank-in-class. A student retaking a course he/she failed due to excessive absences does not have the option of credit-by-examination. A student retaking a course which he/she previously passed does not have the option of summer school or credit-by-examination. Assessment of Transcripts for Transfer Students Transcripts are official records of the culmination of each student's educational experience on the secondary level. Therefore, it is vital that all final grades earned in grades 6-12 be shown in the transcript history, regardless of where they were earned. This is absolutely essential in grades 9-12 in order for cumulative GPA's, credits, and rankings to be accurate. It is the responsibility of the transferring student and his/her parent/guardian to provide the necessary releases, clearances, and information required to obtain an official transcript from the previous school. Upon the receipt of the official transcript, all final grades indicated on that transcript should be transferred exactly as shown to the Little Rock School District's transcript history. The course descriptions shown for each final grade should also be entered as shown. When possible the name of the school should be shown above the grades. Only final grades are entered in the transcript history. Transfer or interim grades or withdrawal grades from other schools should not be entered unless they are final grades. The LRSD uses letter grades, not percentages on transcripts. If the official transcript received from another school shows only percentages, the percentage should be converted to a letter grade using the key provided by the previous school. If no conversion key is provided or obtainable, the percentages shown will be converted to the letter grade indicated on the Arkansas State Grading Scale. Transfers from Home Schools and/or Unaccredited Schools Students who transfer into a Little Rock School District from home schools or schools that are not accredited through a state department of education or a regional accreditation organization such as North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA) must attend the accredited high school for a minimum of four semesters in order to be eligible for rank-in-class calculations. Only the courses taken at the accredited high school will be used in calculating the grade-point average. 3 s ,... . a, m c: :-1a1:c-n ,-z o-\u0026lt; m Cl) mme\"n'\nam m\n:a o:S c:O mm .\"..' \"' !II LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IKC-R (continued) Transfer Students' Weighted Grades Weights assigned to grades from other districts or schools for courses that are not Advanced Placement courses, or \"honors\" courses approved for that school district by the Arkansas Department of Education, or dual high school and college credit courses approved by the Arkansas Department of Education for weighted-grade status will not be honored by any LRSD high school in the calculation of the grade-point average or rank-in-class. (See Arkansas Rules and Regulations on \"Uniform Grading Scales for Public Secondary Schools.) Transfer Students from Foreign Schools Foreign exchange students not seeking a diploma from an LRSD high school will not be eligible for rank-in-class. Computing the Grade-Point Average and Rank-in-Class In determining the grade-point average and rank-in-class, the following scale will be used. Also, grades earned in concurrent credit college courses, unless they have been approved for weighted-grade or honors status by the Arkansas Department of Education, will be assigned the following numeric values when such courses are used to compute a student's grade-point average. A= B= C= D= F= NC= 90-100 = 80-89 = 70-79 = 60-69 = 59 and below = 4 points 3 points 2 points 1 point O points 0 points The following scale will be used for Advanced Placement courses, as well as for dual credit courses approved by the Arkansas Department of Education for weighted-grade status, whether taken in LRSD or other districts. It will also be used for \"honors\" courses approved by the Arkansas Department of Education for students who have transferred in from other districts.

Although tentative ranking of seniors is done at the end of the seventh semester for college admission, scholarship applications, and/or recognition programs conducted before graduation, the final ranking of seniors will be computed at the end of the eighth semester when semester grades are reported. When a seventh-semester rank-in-class is provided by a Little Rock School District high school official, the high school must include the information that the final rank in class is established at the end of the eighth semester. Release of Information Rank-in-class information will be released to appropriate school, college, or university personnel or to others only at the request or consent of the student, or the parent if the student is a minor, or in response to a judicial order or pursuant to any lawfully issued subpoena. Senior Honors Ties in Rank-in-Class (Effective for the Classes of 2000, 2001, and 2002) In the event two or more students tie for valedictory or salutatory honors, both (or more) students will receive equal recognition. For purposes of award of any valedictory scholarship following the eighth-semester calculations of rank-inclass, the student with the highest total number of grade points will be declared the valedictorian. If a valedictory scholarship is awarded prior to the end of the eighth semester, then the seventh semester calculations will be used to make the determination. Class of 2003 and Beyond Effective for the Class of 2003, in order to be eligible for honors recognition at graduation, the graduating student must have completed the \"Recommended Curriculum,\" successfully completed at least eight advanced courses (PreAdvanced Placement, Advanced Placement, and/or University Studies courses)\nand achieved a grade-point average of at least 3.5 (see IKF.).

Objectives-1) to improve the education for all students by evaluating selected programs each year to determine their impact on student achievement, 2) to comply with the requirement of section 2. 7 .1 of the Revised Desegregation and Education Plan to submit for District Court Approval the program evaluations listed. Expected Outcomes-Programs will be maintained, adjusted, or eliminated based on the recommendations of these long-term program evaluations. Population-The Mathematics and Science Program Evaluation Team consisted of Dr. Don Wold, Vanessa Cleaver, Dennis Glasgow, and Dr. Ed Williams. Dr. Steve Ross, external program evaluation consultant, reviewed the Program Evaluation and provided feedback. Staff and teachers will use this evaluation as a benchmark for future program decisions. Budget Amount/Source of Budget-Staff members' time and materials are included as a part of the regular operating budget for the Math/Science Department. Dr. Ross' consultant contract is included in the PRE budget. Managers-Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent for Instruction, and Dr. Ed Williams, Statistician Duration-Formal end-of-year evaluative reports have been submitted to the National Science Foundation for the past five years. The Program Evaluations for the four years, 1998-99 through 2001-02, were submitted to the Board and approved in December, 2002.

Analysis of and response to the program evaluations will continue through the spring semester of 2004 and for the next few years as additional data is gathered. Long Range/Continuation-all program evaluations are used as a benchmark for program planning in future years. The current formal Mathematics and Science Program Evaluation will conclude with the approval of the Board and the District Court. Other Agencies Involved-The Office of Desegregation Monitoring has monitored the program evaluation process. Expectations of Staff-Staff members from the Mathematics and Science Departments, the CPMSA Office, and PRE served on the evaluation teams for this program evaluation. Program evaluation is embedded in the job expectations of staff\nconsequently, this is an ongoing commitment for our staff. An important job of the mathematics/science evaluation team is to read the evaluation report, analyze it, and use that information to help decide our future direction in the areas of mathematics and science. Needed Staff-Dr. Wold was employed as the CPMSA Program Evaluator using funds from the NSF grant. Dr. Ross' review of the evaluation was part of his consultant contract. Mathematics and science staff members participated in the evaluation as part of their day to day job duties. Comments-the two literacy evaluations approved by the Board in November and the math/science program evaluation currently under consideration are the three remaining evaluations from section 2. 7 .1 of the LRSD Revised Desegregation and Education Plan. Dr. Steve Ross was contracted as a program evaluation specialist to develop the program evaluations of the two literacy program and to review the mathematics and science program evaluation. All three program evaluations provide useful information for staff as we chart our future course in these curricular areas. Recommendation-we recommend approval of program evaluation for Mathematics and Science. The Executive Summary is attached. The full report will be provided for Board Members at the Agenda Meeting. Dr. Don Wold, Program Evaluator, will be available for a presentation to the Board and to answer questions. Executive Summary This report examines student assessments over a five-year period in the Little Rock School District (LRSD) from 1998 to 2003. The report also looks at course taking and completion trends over the five years in mathematics and science courses, along with policy issues and curriculum changes. The five year period was selected because LRSD had a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) over that period of time to create systemic change in mathematics and science programs that would lead to increased student achievement and preparation of more students to pursue undergraduate programs of study in mathematics, science, and engineering. The LRSD program, funded by NSF, was Comprehensive Partnerships for Mathematics and Science Achievement (CPMSA). The effective date of the CPMSA program was September l, 1998, and the expiration date for this program was August 31, 2003 . The program evaluation was oriented around the following questions concerning all students and African-American students in particular:  Was the CPMSA program effective in improving the achievement of African American students?  Have levels of achievement changed for all students and for African American students who perform at or above basic, at or above proficient, and at or above the advanced achievement level?  Have enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and for African American students in 8th grade Algebra 1?  Have the enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and African American students in G 9-12 mathematics gate-keeping courses (Algebra I, Geometry, Trig/Pre-Cale., \u0026amp; Calculus)?  Have enrollments and completion trends changed for all students and for African American students in G 9-12 science gate-keeping courses (Biology 1, Chemistry 1, and Physics I)?  Has the number of students with SEM proficiency changed? How has the number of African American students with SEM proficiency changed? (SEM proficiency is defined as students who have completed a minimum of pre-calculus, biology, and chemistry and/or physics courses).  What policy changes have promoted equal access by all students, including African American students to high quality education?  What policy changes were made to support student success in mathematics and science during CPMSA implementation?  What curriculum and instruction changes were made to support student success in mathematics and science during CPMSA implementation?  What professional development policy and program changes were made to support teachers during CPMSA implementation?  What standards-based assessment system changes were made during CPMSA implementation? Method The evaluation design was based on quantitative student achievement data from over 100 examinations in twenty-four different assessment groups, which took place in LRSD from 1998 to 2003. The cooperative agreement with the NSF (Amendment No. 3) states that assessment data for the CPMSA Program for Years 3, 4, and 5 will be used to determine annual increases in performance\nconsequently, the primary focus was on achievement data for SY 2000-2001, 2001-2002, and 2002-2003. Literacy \u0026gt;,..s..  a:, m c: :I: CJ) \"rD- -z om -\u0026lt; CJ) men men :om m :o oS C: 0 mm u,CJ\u0026gt; -I 8 ! lz5 CJ) ~ 0 5 CJ) z C) ~ I CJ) ?\u0026lt; o\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026lt; ._::c 0~ C: :0 ~z :I: C) men :!i assessments were included along with mathematics and science assessments since literacy is a critical component to achievement in mathematics and science. The analysis follows procedures used in evaluative studies by Systemic Research, Inc., which has been funded by the NSF. Systemic Research has identified and tabulated indicators of systemic change for use in program evaluations. Following terminology of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), student performance on the assessments was described in terms of achievement levels. The NAEP described student performance in terms of percentage at or above one of three achievement levels: Basic, Proficient, or Advanced. These achievement levels are shown below. 100 Advanced Range (75-99) Advanced Achievement Level (75) Proficient Range (50-74) Proficient Achievement Level (50) Basic Range 25-49) Basic Achievement Level (25) Below Basic Range {0-24) 0 Performance at or above Basic achievement level (25-99) Performance at or above Proficient achievement level (50-99) Performance at or above Advanced achievement level (75-99 For each assessment each year, the percentage of students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level, and the percentage of students who performed at or above the Proficient level were computed. In subsequent years two additional quantities were computed: (1) the CHANGE in percentage of students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level and (2) the CHANGE in the percentage of students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level. In terms of student performance, a positive change in (1) indicates movement from below the Basic achievement level to or above the Basic achievement level, the Proficient achievement level, or the Advanced achievement level. A positive change in (2) indicates movement from below the Proficient achievement level to or above the Proficient achievement level or above the Advanced achievement level. In addition, enrollment in mathematics and science courses and completion trends were examined for the five years. Completion as defined in the CPMSA Cooperative Agreement is the number of students who completed the course with a grade of A, B, or C. Special attention was given to \"gate-keeping\" and higher-level mathematics and science courses. \"Gate-keeping\" courses are those that students must successfully complete as pre-requisites to higher-level, more rigorous courses. Finally, the adoption of policies, curricula, and assessments necessary to foster the implementation of standards-based mathematics and science programs was examined. Standards-based programs are those that are very closely aligned with local, state, and national standards. High-stakes mathematics and science assessments, such those that are part of the Arkansas Comprehensive Testing, Assessment, and Accountability Program are aligned with state and national standards\ntherefore, program alignment with standards is a powerful means of improving student achievement. Results Achievement Student data from over 100 examinations were used in the study of twenty-four assessment groups to determine whether a percentage increase in the number of students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level or above the Proficient achievement level or both above Basic achievement level and above Proficient achievement level occurred for all students, for Caucasian students, and for AfricanAmerican students. The assessment groups are summarized below: 1 English G8 EXPLORE 9 Mathematics G8 Benchmark 17 Reading G8 EXPLORE 2 English G 10 PLAN 10 Mathematics G8 EXPLORE 18 Reading G 10 SA T-9 3 Literacy G4 Benchmark 11 Mathematics G 10 SAT-9 19 Reading Gl0 PLAN 4 Literacy G8 Benchmark 12 Mathematics G 10 PLAN 20 Science G5 SA T-9 5 Mathematics G4 Benchmark 13 Algebra I G7-10 Benchmark 21 Science G7 SA T-9 6 Mathematics G5 SA T-9 14 Geometry G9-11 Benchmark 22 Science G8 EXPLORE 7 Mathematics G6 Benchmark 15 Reading G5 SA T-9 23 Science Gl0 SAT-9 8 Mathematics G7 SAT-9 16 Reading G7 SAT-9 24 Science G 10 PLAN The Annual Change in Percentage Points of Students Who Performed at or Above the Basic Achievement Level Table 32 shows only the change in percentage points of students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level for all students in the District, for Caucasian students, and for African American students. Here we see that in 16 out of 24 assessments. the change in percentage points of African American students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level was greater than the change in percentage points of Caucasian students who performed at or above the Basic achievement level. These results may be seen in Figure lS below. The Annual Change in Percentage Points of Students Who Performed at or Above the Proficient Achievement Level Table 33 shows only the change in percentage points of students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level for all students in the District, for Caucasian students, and for African American students. Here we see that in 18 out of 24 assessments. the change in percentage points of African American students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level was less than the change in percentage points of Caucasian students who performed at or above the Proficient achievement level. These results may be seen in Figure 2S below. From the assessments in Tables 32 and 33, we conclude that, although there are increasing numbers of African American students at or above the Proficient achievement level, the greatest movement in African American student performance is upward from below the Basic achievement level into the region between the Basic achievement level and the Proficient achievement level. If the current momentum is maintained, student performance of African American students will continue to move upward to or above the Proficient achievement level. In the SMART/THRIVE 2002-2003 program, we found 52 percent of those students performing above the Basic achievement level but below the Proficient achievement level. With such a large number of students performing just below the Proficient achievement level, many more students could reach the Proficient achievement level with reasonable additional effort on the part of the students and teachers. From these data we conclude that the performance of African-American students on district assessments improved substantially and consistently between 2001and 2003. s ,....  a, m c: 31:(1) \",D.. .-z o-\u0026lt; m(/) m(I) m(I)\nom m::O o:S C: (\") mm (..I.)

I am an Art History teacher at Little Rock Central High as well as head of the soccer program and coach of the men's soccer team. Soccer Plus requests the Board's approval to allow Soccer Plus to be an approved bidder of soccer supplies and equipment to the Little Rock School District. It also requests that it be allowed to sell soccer uniforms and equipment to the Central High Soccer program. The Athletic Department provides the Men's and Women's soccer teams a budget of $500.00 each per year for supplies and equipment. The balance of the needs of the teams is covered by the Booster Club which raises funds through parental contributions and sponsorships, and other fundraising activities like the Black and Gold game. Booster Club funds are often tight. We don't want to spend any more for needed items than necessary and would like those funds to buy as much equipment as possible. Soccer Plus is able to sell to the Central soccer program at cost plus 10%. The Central Soccer program can not get these prices anywhere else, but can get them from Soccer Plus with a resolution from the Board . What I am requesting at this time is Board approval tor Soccer Plus to supply the Central High Soccer program with equipment and to be able to bid on soccer supplies for the Little Rock School District.

Stewart, Chief Financial Officer orris L. Holmes, Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Bill Goodman ~6 SUBJECT: November 2003 Construction Report - Bond Projects I reported in September a financial update on the bond construction projects. The September report was based on data from Financial Services through July 2003. It showed that approximately $86,000,000 had been obligated and/or spent from the $132,000,000 Bond Fund, representing two-thirds (2/3) of the total. As of the end of September 2003, we have spent and/or obligated approximately $98,000,000, which equals 75% of the Bond Fund. This data explains the reason for the long list of completed projects and the decline of the number of projects under construction. The construction contract for the five-classroom addition to Brady Elementary has been awarded. Construction will start soon. The construction of the additions to Parkview Arts/Science Magnet High School has begun. The renovation of projects at Mann Magnet Middle and Mabel vale Middle schools will be completed in December. The move from the portable classrooms into the new and renovated classrooms will take place during the holidays.

The Revised Education Plan is referenced in existing policy and incorporates a number of student I school assignments that are race-based. Since LRSD has been declared unitary with regard to student assignment, revision is being recommended. Attached are copies of the proposed revised policy. Recommendation The Board tabled action on policies ACBB, JC, and JCA at the November 6 special meeting. It is recommended that approval on these revisions to policies ACBB: Equitable Student Assignment, JC: School Attendance Zones and JCA: Student Assignment I School Choice be granted at this time.

Revised: Adopted: April 22, 1999 Cross References: Board of Education Policies AC, ACB, ACBD, JC, JCA LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPH: JC SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ZONES School Attendance zones will be established by the Board of Education and all modifications or alterations in zone boundaries will be approved by the Little Rock School Board. The basis for LRSD student assignments is the geographic attendance zone which ties each residential street address within district boundaries to a specific elementary, middle and high school. Student assignment priority will be given to the Attendance Zone student. Recommendations to establish, modify or alter attendance zone boundaries will include consideration of the operational needs of the school system. Any recommendation for establishment or alteration of boundaries will include an analysis and justification based on these factors. Revised: Adopted: May 25, 2000 s\n= f LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPH: JCA SCHOOL CHOICE It is the policy of the Board of Education to implement student assignment programs and procedures designed to ensure that students may benefit from attending a school other than the one serving their neighborhood attendance zone. The Student Assignment Plan includes attendance zone school precedence and educational choice options that maintain student diversity to the extent practicable. Providing students and their families with school choice is a key component of the assignment plan. School Choice is viewed as a healthy method of providing opportunity for students to take advantage of unique curriculum offerings, special emphasis and program activities. Procedures will be established that enable students to make application to enroll in a school outside of their designated attendance zone. Initial registration begins during a two-week open enrollment period scheduled the first two months of the calendar year. Parents and students will be informed of available options. ATTENDANCE ZONE SCHOOLS-Students are assigned to the designated attendance zone school by their recorded residence. During the open enrollment period, priority will be provided to attend the attendance zone school site. STIPULATION/ ORIGINAL MAGNET SCHOOLS were created in 1987. Seats are reserved for students in the Little Rock School District, North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) and Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD). Each district conducts an application process and assigns students to these schools. SPECIAL TY MAGNET SCHOOLS with \"themed\" or \"specialty\" programs have coursework that supplements the regular curriculum. They are available to students seeking school options or choices outside of their attendance zone schools. These specialty programs are sited at schools that also serve as attendance zone schools. Students from PCSSD may participate in these specialty programs as M-to-M transfer students. If the number of out of zone applicants exceed the number of program seats available, a weighted random assignment process will be used to identify those students who will be assigned. M-to-M Transfer program is a collaborative effort between the LRSD and PCSSD, which allows students school choice across district boundaries if certain criteria are met. NCLB Transfers available to students in schools identified by the Arkansas Department of Education as \"low-performing\". Staff Preference Transfers allow students who live in the LRSD to attend the schools in which their parents are employed. Act 624, Act 762 and Act 609/School Choice Transfers are Arkansas statues which are available to students who wish to transfer across school district boundaries. Transfer No Transportation (TNT) Transfers permit students to attend a school other than their attendance zone school if space is available after a certain number of seats are set aside or \"reserved\" for attendance zone students and if the parent / guardian assumes responsibility for the student's transportation. If demand exceeds available space, the priority will be to promote diversity.

The Revised Plan incorporated a number of race-based student assignment policies as a part of the District's effort to eliminate the vestiges of its past discrimination. LRSD's being declared unitary changes the analysis with regard to the constitutionality of the LRSD's intradistrict race-based student assignment policies and requires a change in the student assignment plan. LRSD being declared unitary should not at this time affect the constitutionality of interdistrict race-based student assignment policies related to the stipulation magnet schools, interdistrict schools and M-to-M transfers. Those policies remain necessary to eliminate the vestiges of past discrimination by the Pulaski County Special School District and the State of Arkansas. Recommendation It is recommended that the Board of Education approve one of the attached Student Assignment Plans for 2004-05. (Attachment) :s\n= 2004-2005 LRSD STUDENT ASSIGNMENT PLAN (Plan A) The proposed 2004-05 Little Rock School District (LRSD) Student Assignment Plan recognizes attendance zone school precedence\nhowever, additional attention and focus have been developed with the intent to provide both educational choice options and maintain student diversity (to the extent practicable). The basis for LRSD student assignments are the geographic attendance zones which ties each residential street address in the district to a specific elementary, middle and high school. First priority of student assignment is in the Attendance Zone School. The Board of Directors on recommendation by the Superintendent must approve any modification or alteration to attendance zones. Providing students and their families with school choice is a key component of the current student assignment plan. School Choice is viewed as a healthy method of encouraging students to take advantage of unique curriculum offerings, special emphasis and program activities. In light of the success of current choice options (27% of LRSD students attend a school via school choice option) it allows all LRSD students regardless of where they reside an opportunity. Recognizing the importance of student diversity and evidence that supports improved academic achievement, social connection and life preparations in a multicultural society, LRSD is committed to offering assignment opportunities or choices that might promote further diversity. A recent survey indicated the following:  School assignment options outside the Neighborhood School Attendance Zone are important. Parent - 85.4% Agree I Strongly Agree Staff - 82.9% Agree I Strongly Agree Community - 77. 7% Agree I Strongly Agree  It important that schools reflect a diverse student population Parent- 90.0% Agree I Strongly Agree Staff- 92.2% Agree I Strongly Agree Community- 61.1 % Agree I Strongly Agree Attendance Zone Schools - Each child is assigned to a designated attendance zone school by their recorded residence. During the open enrollment period, priority will be provided to attend the attendance zone school site. Although the majority of students in LRSD attend their attendance zone school (70%), school choice or assignment options are available. 2004-05 TRANSFER CHOICE OPTIONS Stipulation I Original Magnet schools and M-to M transfer options will continue to utilize racebased placement decisions. [Judge Wilson indicated in the September 2002 partial unitary ruling that \"the Court's decision in this case does not affect interdistrict transfers between the LRSD, PCSSD and NLRSD.\"] Stipulation /Original Magnet Schools were created in 1987.

Washington Basic Skills / Math Sciences Interdistrict Magnet Elementary School If the number of out of zone applicants exceed the number of program seats available, a weighted random assignment process will be used to identify those students who will be assigned. Criteria indicators considered in the weighted random process include the student's race, achievement test performance and economic status (free and reduced lunch). Weighted Random Assignment Process Step 1. Define a SCHOOL ATTRIBUTE for each school based on three separate characteristics of its Attendance Zone (AZ) students. The three characteristics are race, achievement test performance and economic status (free and reduced lunch). Step 2. Define a STUDENT ATTRIBUTE for each student requesting a transfer to Specialty Magnet Program School based on the same three characteristics as the school attribute. (A default weight will be added for students with missing data - i.e. achievement test performance and economic status). In addition the following weighted value will be added: Sibling (Provide a weight for students with a sibling at the requested school site) AZ Student Weight (Provide a weight for AZ students who enter the zone after the open enrollment period and seats are not available) Step 3. Compare the Student Attribute to the School Attribute and assign a weight for each student requesting a transfer. Weights are allocated by comparing the characteristics of the school to the characteristics of the student in an inverse relationship. For example, a low-performing student requesting to go to a school with a larger proportion of high-performing students might receive a greater weight in academic proficiency\nwhereas, a high-performing student applying to the same school would receive a reduced weight factor. Step 4. The computerized lottery will identify the student population of these specialty schools' attendance zones and then increase the likelihood that students of opposite attributes will be selected thereby diversifying the schools population. The selection process will be random. \"Applicant Pool\" - Students who do not get their 1st choice will remain in a \"pool\" for a seat in their first choice school. Each time a seat becomes available in a school that has an applicant pool, the random number of applicants and the student's respective place in the pool determine which student(s) will obtain the available seat. (Numbered Waiting Lists will no longer exist for these Specialty Magnet Schools.) ADDITIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE OPTIONS OUTSIDE OF STIPULATION MAGNET AND SPECIALTY MAGNET SCHOOLS M-to-M Transfer program is a collaborative effort between the LRSD and PCSSD, which allows students school choice across district boundaries if certain criteria are met.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the Little Rock School District Board of Directors approve the implementation of, and authorize expenditure of funds for the Safety and Security Plan for the Administration Building. s\n= Central Office Security Plan The following Administrative Directives should be reviewed by each employee housed in the Administration Building and adhered to in the case of an emergency: EBAB - ACTION TO BE TAKEN IN THE EVENT OF A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL SPILL ECAA - ARMED INTRUSION PROCEDURES EBCC - BOMB THREAT PROCEDURES EBCG - GUIDEUNES FOR 911 AMBULANCE USE In addition, the following measures are to be taken: Evacuation Routes In case of fire or other emergency, evaluation routes are posted in all rooms and are to be followed in case of emergency. Emergency Mass Care Shelter Procedures The American Red Cross has designated fifteen (15) Little Rock schools as mass shelters. The closest designated school to the Administration Building is Dunbar Magnet Middle School. At the direction of the Office of the Superintendent, proceed to Dunbar. Threatening Weather  Kim Hochstetler will have a NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) weather radio at the front desk. When an alert is given, she will notify Diane Edwards, Beverly Griffin, and carol Armstrong who will then notify by phone a key person in each department (see phone tree).  The designated person in each department will then notify all members of that department.  Everyone is to remain alert for the emergency sirens for the city.  Communications will keep in contact with radio and TV for further information.  In the event of a tornado, everyone will proceed to the Business Office, Print Shop, or the first floor restrooms for safety. Fire or Fire Drill  In the event of a fire or a fire drill, evacuation should take place according to the procedures posted in each room.  At no time should the elevator be used. All employees are to assemble across the street in the LRSD parking lot.  Each Department Head will determine if all of their employees have safely evacuated the building and will report this to the Director of Communications. Bomb Threat  In the event of a bomb threat, the person taking the call witl notify Diane Edwards, Beverly Griffin, or Carol Armstrong. At this time, notification of the evacuation will take place by following these measures:  The emergency horn/siren will be activated by the superintendent's office staff to initiate a building evacuation.  All employees will evacuate the building and report the LRSD parking lot directly across from the building. In the event that Homeland Security issues a code red advisory, the school district will take the following additional security steps:  Assign security to outside building security.  Immediately issue a locked-door policy, only allowing entrance to the building through the front door, and If possible, have the front door observed at all times.  Anyone entering the building through the front door must sign in and must give proof of identification.  Be alert to any suspicious person such as: 1.

Objective-to encourage students in AP courses to take the corresponding AP exams in those courses. Expected Outcomes-the number of students in AP courses who take the corresponding AP Exams will increase. For 2002-2003 only 10.3% of the 3,287 students enrolled in AP course took the AP Exam. Population-students enrolled in AP courses Budget Amount-No budget is proposed. Students who are identified for free and reduced lunch have almost all the cost of their AP Exams covered by the College Board and participating schools. Students who take more than two AP Exams receive a discount on any additional exams they take. The cost of an AP Exam is $80 each for the first two and $30 each for the third and above exams. Manager-high school principals will manage the program in their own buildings. Mable Donaldson will oversee the program for the district. Duration-the beginning date is the second semester of the 2003-04 school year. The program will be assessed after AP Exams are taken in spring, 2004. Any needed adjustments will be considered at that time. Long Range-the program will be maintained as long as it is deemed successful. Other Agencies Involved-none g z ~ cz5 u, r\u0026gt; i C: N)\u0026gt; C) ... C) c5 .~.. z,.. C, mz ~ Expectations of District-Principals and their staff will work with students on a \"need\" basis to assist them obtain financial aid. If funding is found to be an acute problem, the district will seek ways to ameliorate the problem. Needed staff-none Comments-the legitimacy of our AP Program can be questioned at schools where very few students take AP Exams. Recommendations-we recommend that a waiver be granted to students in AP courses to allow the option of taking the corresponding AP Exam in lieu of the second semester final exam. Tyler Fuller, Central High student, brought a proposal before the Board that would allow students the option of taking the AP Exam in lieu of the second semester exam in the AP course(s) they are taking. High school principals, curriculum staff, and AP teachers were given an opportunity to reflect on and respond to the proposal. With that input an incentive is proposed to increase the number of students who take AP Exams. Problem: Only 338 out of3,287 students (duplicate count) took an AP Exam (See attached 2002-03 AP enrollment chart.). Proposed Solution: 1. Students in AP courses should be encouraged to take the corresponding AP exams in those courses to:  Engage students in preparing for and taking challenging exams  Give students an opportunity to earn college credit, thus saving tuition money for families  Assist the schools and district to evaluate the efficacy of the AP Program 2. Students in AP courses who meet certain criteria will be granted a waiver that will allow them the option of not taking the second semester final exam in the course if they take the AP Exam. Students may, however, elect to take the final exam in addition to the AP Exam. Criteria that students must meet to gain the waiver are:  70% average for both the third and fourth nine-weeks grading periods in the AP course  Attendance, tardies, citizenship, and disciplinary requirements shall be the same as the Semester Exam Exemption for Senior Students: 1) The student shall not accumulate more than three (3) excused absences and shall have no unexcused absences in the class. 2) The student shall not accumulate more than one (1) tardy in the class. 3) The student shall not receive a citizenship mark of two (2) or higher in the class. 4) The student shall receive no out-of-school suspensions or expulsions in the said semester. 3. Students' scores on the AP Exam will not be used as part of their semester grade. 4. The final exam score will be part of the semester grade for students who elect to take both the AP Exam and the final exam\nhowever, the resulting semester grade cannot be lower than the average of the two nine-week grades. 5. Students' second semester grades that elect the option of taking the AP Exam in lieu of the second semester final exam will be based on an average of the percentage grade for the third and fourth nine-weeks. Schools will provide assistance to students to obtain financial aid for which they might be eligible. ~ g z ?\ncz5 (/) !='\ni::c-, 6lij i,2\n,o mo QO c:: :,:I\"\" -C:: C') !C ::C\n,o ~~ :Cu, 8r ,-- School Central High McClellan J.A.

The schools included in the Arkansas Reading First grant to LRSD are Bale, Baseline, Chicot, Dodd, Fair Park, Mabelvale, Mitchell, Rightsell, Romine, Stephens, Wakefield, and Wilson. All LRSD Reading First schools will participate in the national and state project evaluation as well as administer the standard district assessments administered annually. The project requires administration of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS, Kaminsky and Good, 1996) assessment to monitor growth in the acquisition of critical early literacy skills to (a) identify children in need of intervention and (b) evaluate the effectiveness of intervention strategies. DIBELS are standardized, individually administered tests that provide a measure of risk in letter naming fluency, phoneme segmentation and oral reading fluency. In addition, the schools are required to administer the Developmental Spelling Analysis (DSA: Ganske, 1999) to students in grades 1-3. The DSA makes it easy for teachers to identify each child's stage of development in spelling and to provide appropriate instruction that impacts not only spelling achievement, but also reading achievement. The first evaluative report that LRSD will receive on Reading First will be the annual evaluation report after the first year of implementation. The funds for the program evaluation are included in the Arkansas Reading First project. Dr. Ross' contract was included in this year's LRSD budget, and a program evaluator is on staff for the mathematics and science program evaluation, funded by the National Science Foundation grant. We ask that you approve the four programs identified as the Program Evaluation Agenda for the 2003-04 school year. 8 z ?\nz~ en TO: FROM: THROUGH: SUBJECT: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE CENTER 3001 SOUTH PULASKI STREET LITTLE ROCK, AR 72206 November 20, 2003 Board of Directors Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent Dr. Morris Holmes, Interim Superintendent Proposed Changes in the Middle School and High School Curriculum Short Summary-the Board is asked to approve the proposed course changes in the middle school and high school curriculum. Objectives-to approve changes in the curriculum as mandated by Board Policy IG. Expected Outcomes-additions, deletions, and modifications will be made in the middle school and high school curriculum based upon input by the schools, the curriculum staff, and others. Population-the curriculum serves students, teachers, parents, and the community. Budget Amount/Source of Budget- there is a reasonable assurance that funding exists to develop the curriculum for new courses and submit them to the Arkansas Department of Education for approval, provide the necessary professional development, and purchase the required instructional materials. Manager-Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent for Instruction Duration-the curriculum changes are proposed for the 2004-05 school term. Long Range/Continuation-curriculum changes are submitted to the Board annually for its consideration. Other Agencies Involved-some of the curriculum changes are in response to grant funded initiatives, such as the Magnet School Assistance Program and Small Learning Communities Grant. ?\u0026lt; ,n... 0 \"z' G) ~ ~ ~ \"' Expectations of Staff-staff members from the curriculum department and from the schools will be expected to prepare new course proposals for submission to ADE. Needed Staff-the course changes are expected to be handled within existing budgetary resources. Comments-the curriculum changes for the middle schools and high schools are submitted to the Board each year and are part of an evolving process to give our students the best programs possible. Recommendations-we recommend approval of the proposed course changes for middle school and high school. Policy IG: Curriculum Development, Adoption, and Review requires that the Board of Education approve all new courses to the curriculum. The Division of Instruction, therefore, annually surveys the schools, the curriculum staff, and others to determine whether there should be courses added to the curriculum, courses deleted, or courses modified in any way. Those proposals are reviewed by the curriculum directors, they make recommendations, and then the proposals are reviewed and approved/rejected by the Associate Superintendent for Instruction. The courses recommended to the Board of Education are those that have been through the process. There is a reasonable assurance that funding exists to develop the curriculum for new courses and submit them to the Arkansas Department of Education for approval, provide the necessary professional development, and purchase the required instructional materials. Another factor in determining a recommendation is whether a school has adequate staffing to teach new courses and whether there is adequate student interest.

To facilitate this exanunation, the Center for Research in Educational Policy (CREP) at The University of Memphis was employed to provide an independent, third party evaluation. The evaluation methodology and data analysis were oriented around the following research questions: 1. 2. 3. What are teacher perceptions of and reactions to the different literacy programs? After controlling for gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and prior achievement, did African American students exhibit similar levels of academic achievement as other students? What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable H to whether students were African American? 4. What was the trend in the achievement of African American students on the Literacy Benchmark examination from 2001 to 2003? 5. Were differences in achievement gains between African American students and other students similar at different grade levels and for different test instruments? 6. Was there a relationship between the literacy program implemented at the elementary schools, school composition variables (i.e., school poverty and percentage of African American students enrolled), and the achievement of African American students? Method H M The evaluation design was based on both quantitative student achievement data as well as qualitative data from K-12 faculty members who are responsible for literacy instruction. The primary data sources were (a) a questionnaire completed by teachers, (b) focus groups conducted  _ - ^.1__ with faculty members representing different literacy programs in the district, and (c) student achievement data including the Literacy Benchmark scale score, SAT-9 Reading subscale score. II H M and the SAT-9 Language subscale score. During the 2002-2003 school year, two CREP researchers conducted seven focus groups at the Neighborhood Resource Center using a structured interview guide. Each focus group was approximately one-hour in duration. Teachers signed a permission form to be interviewed and were given assurance that their comments would be confidential and anonymous. The sessions were audiotape-recorded and supplemented with the researchers hand-written notes. III The Literacy Program Teacher Questionnaires were printed and shipped to LRSD personnel. The district staff members disseminated the questionnaires to the individual schools along with instructions for completing and returning the forms to the district. After the district III staff received the completed forms, they were sent to CREP for analysis. Similarly, district Page 1 of 471 H Id Id personnel assembled the student achievement data into an electronic format. The data files were then sent to CREP researchers for analysis. Id The focus group and surveys were analyzed thematically and descriptively, respectively. A synthesis was then developed to highlight findings by literacy program and grade level (e.g., elementary and secondary) as provided by the district. The achievement methodology and analysis is discussed in the achievement section below.

The five achievement oriented research questions (#2  #5 above) were used to guide the methodology and analyses. Methodology IM IM IM Subjects of the study included all students enrolled in grades 3 to 11 in the Little Rock School District during the 2002-2003 school year for whom 2003 Literacy Benchmark or 2003 SAT-9 scores were available. This included a total of 11,934 students, of whom 23.4% were Caucasian, 68.2% were African-American, and 48.5% were certified as eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Three measures were used to assess literacy, the Literacy Benchmark scale score (Grades 4, 6, and 8), and the SAT-9 Reading subscale score, and SAT-9 Language subscale score (both Grades 5, 7, and 10). I I I i I IM Analyses IM IM District-wide achievement effects. The basic analytic model used to gauge district-wide achievement effects was a 2 (free lunch status) X 2 (gender) X 2 (African-American, nonAfrican American) analysis of variance (ANOVA). This basic model was adapted to each grade level to reflect: (a) the availability of achievement data from the prior year, in which case a 2 X 2 X 2 analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used\n(b) the specific 2003 outcome data that were available at each grade level (either Literacy Benchmark scores or SAT9 scores)\nand (c) the number of outcome variables. School composition and program effects. For elementary schools, information was available regarding specific literacy programs being implemented in the schools. For 5 grade, a two level hierarchical linear model (HLM) was performed to examine relationships between Page 4 of 47Ml school composition factors (aggregate poverty, mean achievement at pretest, and percentage African American enrollment), school literacy programs, and student achievement. Longitudinal cohort performance on Benchmark Examinations. For fourth and eighth grades, three consecutive years of Literacy Benchmark Performance Level data were available. The percentage of African American students scoring in Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced categories was computed for each year from 2001 to 2003 to provide a basis for examining overall trends in performance across time. Elementary Level Results Below, conclusions and results based on analyses performed on fourth and fifth grade data are presented by research question. After controlling for gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and prior achievement. did African American students exhibit similar levels of academic achievement as other students? I  African American students had substantially lower absolute performance than did other students.  The academic gains on literacy tests were lower for African American students than for other students. What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable to whether students were African American?  Although there was a significant relationship between African American status and student achievement, the proportion of variance in academic performance attributable to African American status was very low4.6% for fourth grade, and 5.7% for fifth grade. What was the trend in the achievement of African American students on the Literacy Benchmark examination from 2001 to 2003?  The performance of African American fourth grade students on the Benchmark Literacy examination improved dramatically between 2001 and 2003, with nearly half perfoiming at a Below Basic level in 2001, compared to only one-fifth in 2003. Was there a relationship between the literacy program implemented at the school, school composition variables, and the achievement of African American students ?  No significant relationship was observed between the type of literacy program implemented and the achievement of African American students.  The percentage of African American students enrolled in a school did not predict overall achievement or the achievement of African American students.  School poverty, as measured by the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, had a negative effect on the achievement gains of students. Page 5 of 47Id Secondary Level Results ri The secondary conclusions and results by research question are as follows: ri After controlling for gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and prior achievement, did African American students exhibit similar levels of academic achievement as other students? ri  The absolute level of achievement of African American students was substantially lower than that of other students of similar gender and free lunch eligibility status.  Generally, the gains in academic achievement of African American students were similar to those of other students in grades 6 to 11. ri What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable to whether students were African American? ri  When data on prior achievement were available, the proportion of variance in 2003 achievement attributable to African American status was quite low at the secondary level, ranging from 0% to 5%. ri What was the trend in the achievement of African American students on the Literacy Benchmark examination from 2001 to 2003? ri ri  The performance of African American 8* graders on the Literacy Benchmark exam improved substantially and consistently between 2001 and 2003, with the percentage scoring Below Basic dropping from 48.5% to 34.5%, and the percentage scoring Proficient increasing from 14.9% to 23.9%. ri Were dijferences in achievement gains between African American students and other students similar at different grade levels and for different test instruments? ri ri ni  From the 5* to the 8* grade cohort, the achievement gains of African American students became more similar to those of other students, and for some subgroups surpassed those of other students in 8* grade.  The gap in achievement gains was greater on the SAT9 than on the Literacy Benchmark examination. Presumably, the Literacy Benchmark examination is more closely aligned to the mandated curriculum than is the SAT9, which is intentionally designed to be insensitive to curricular differences. Summary and Conclusions ri The Little Rock School District is commended for the emphasis given to increasing literacy in all schools in the district and not just those in the lowest performing strata. The state and local initiatives in literacy for early learners, including ELLA and Effective Literacy, are well grounded in current research of best practice. In addition, the Reading Recovery and Success for All models are among the best researched and proven programs in the nation for lower-performing students. Impressions from interviews and survey data, however, are that Page 6 of 47ri ri ri ri these programs are often perceived as separate and discrete entities instead of integral to a district comprehensive literacy program. Teachers describe themselves or their schools as doing ELLA or Success for All and only the certified tutors doing Reading Recovery. Middle and high school teachers comments seemed to indicate that they also did not perceive themselves as being involved in a literacy plan beyond the traditional roles they have had as English teachers. Thus, it is recommended that the districts plan, or big picture of literacy, be developed and presented to teachers in a format that communicates how each program, school, grade level, and teacher contributes to and accomplishes literacy goals. ri ri ri The professional development in basic literacy has been well received and represents an enormous accomplishment for the district. Management and delivery of the professional development, however, needs to be made more consistent and available to teachers. The primary concerns voiced by teachers were scheduling problems, inadequate space and availability of training for the numbers of teachers needing to be trained, retraining for teachers who change grade levels, training for new teachers, and obtaining qualified substitutes for teachers while they attend training. The impressions of professional development communicated by upper grade teachers and those who were not implementing special programs were that professional development has been minimal, targeted to cunent hot topics (e.g., portfolios), and inconsistent in quality. ri ri ri ri Teachers perceptions of the impact of literacy programs were extremely mixed. Writing and composition were literacy areas that all teachers agreed had been emphasized and improved in their schools and classrooms as a consequence of literacy initiatives in the district. Some of the positive comments relative to ELLA had more to do with the materials teachers had received as a part of the training than the new ideas they had been provided. During the focus groups, the most impressive level of agreement that teachers voiced was by teachers who had Reading Recovery teachers as Literacy Coaches in their schools. The concept of highly trained Literacy Coaches being placed in and available to all elementary schools is a national issue presently and it is recommended that the district find ways to support this concept not only in elementary schools with large at-risk populations, but in all schools in the district. ri ri ri Regarding student achievement, substantial differences exist in the overall achievement of African American students and other students in LRSD. However, the differences in academic gains tend to be smaller at higher grade levels. The three-year trend in Literacy Benchmark scores shows substantial, sustained improvement in the academic achievement of African American students between 2001 and 2003. African American status of the student, as well as the percentage of African American students enrolled in a school, explain only small amounts of variance in student outcomes compared to prior achievement. None of the curricular programs examined in this study had a significant impact on the achievement of 5 grade students  however, these programs are most likely to have an impact at the primary grade levels.

A questionnaire was developed by CREP researchers to gather faculty members perceptions of their schools literacy program. The specific areas addressed included understanding of the program, professional development, resources, pedagogical change, support, and outcomes associated with program implementation. The questionnaire was comprised of two sections. The first section included 21 items to which teachers responded using a likert-type scale ranging from strong disagreement (1) to strong agreement (5). The second section contained six items that gathered demographic information about the respondents. Teacher Focus Group. Structured interview protocols were used to conduct group interviews with randomly selected teachers. Interview guides were developed by CREP researchers to ensure consistency of questions during the different interviews. The areas addressed in the guide were as follows: general information, professional development. Page 8 of 47 i Hri classroom level changes, results/outcomes, and parent and community support. Appendix A contains a copy of the interview guide. Student Achievement Data. A variety of achievement data sources were analyzed because of the different types of literacy assessments used at each grade level. The achievement assessments included in the analysis were from all students enrolled in grades 3 to 11 in the district during the 2002-2003 school year. The three primary data sources included the Literacy Benchmark scale score, SAT-9 Reading subscale score, and the SAT-9 Language subscale score. Procedure To establish the focus groups, teachers were randomly selected from all schools in the district and then grouped for the interviews to represent the districts various grade divisions and established comprising 38 teachers (see table 1). literacy programs.

M Page 9 of 47r I Results Teacher Focus Group To analyze the focus groups, the tape-recorded sessions and researcher notes were summarized and recoded into bullet statements. The individual focus group summaries were then analyzed thematically and synthesized by grade level and program. The following is a synthesis of findings from the focus groups (see Table 2 for an overview). The literacy initiative in LRSD is a combination of programs supported by national, state, and district funds to provide a balanced, comprehensive approach to reading and writing instruction. Professional development is organized, supported, and provided by five district personnel. The following programs are currently used: Early Literacy Learning in Arkansas (ELLA), (Grades K-2). ELLA is a three-year staff development process designed for grades K-2. The training began in the LRSD in 1999 and consists of 12 days (6 hours per day) of staff development covering a range of topics and instructional techniques that support emergent learners. Comments from the four K-2 teachers who participated in this group were integrated with comments regarding ELLA training from three additional K-2 teachers (total n = 7) who had been trained in ELLA but were interviewed as part of the Effective Literacy group. Effective Literacy (Grades 3-5). Effective Literacy is a two-year staff development process designed for grades 3-5. It began in the district as a state initiative in 1999. The components of the program are organized into 8 full day sessions (6 hours) and include a range of topics and instructional techniques to support reading and writing development. A total of six teachers participated in the focus group although only three were teachers were currently in grades 3-5. Signatures Reading Series (1999), Harcourt Brace Publishers. This is the basal reading textbook series adopted by the district in 2000. Professional training related to the use of the reading series was provided during the first year of adoption. Since that time, no other staff development has occuned relative to the reading series. Four teachers participated in this focus group from grades 1, 2,4, and 5. Reading Recovery (Grade 1). Reading Recovery is an extensively researched and widely used early intervention/prevention program that provides at-risk first graders with one-to-one tutoring from specially trained certified teachers. The yearlong professional training of teachers is considered to be one of the greatest assets of the program. In the six schools that were represented in the focus group, the Reading Recovery teacher served as their schools Literacy Coach. Success for All (SFA), (Grades K-5). SFA is a comprehensive school reform model that uses a reading curriculum founded on research-based instructional practices, cooperative learning, and one-to-one tutoring for at-risk learners. The program was introduced in the district in 1997-98 and presently exists in six schools in the district. According to the six teachers who Page 10 of 47 participated in the interview, three of the current SFA programs will continue next year while three others are being discontinued or reconfigured to exist only in the upper grades. Middle Schools (Grades 6-9), (English/Language Arts teachers). Middle schools were reformed in the district in 1999 and encompass grades 6-9. Most of the schools now have a double-block English class (2 hours and 45 minutes) for all students. All grades participate in Reading and Writing Workshop concepts. Professional development has been largely shaped by current trends and research in literacy. Seven English teachers participated in the interview. High Schools (Grades 10-12), (English teachers). According to the five teachers participating in this focus group, all of the high schools are on block schedules (learning periods that exceed the traditional 45 to 55 minutes) with various configurations of time for English classes to accommodate different levels of learners. As in the middle schools, teacher professional development has been implemented based on national research findings, trends, and issues in literacy development. Most ejfective elements of the literacy programs Although teachers have had varying amounts of training in ELLA (from one day to as many as eight days), they were generally positive about the professional development and the materials they had received as part of the training. They indicated that one of the most effective components of ELLA training was the Developmental Reading Assessment that enabled teachers to effectively measure student progress. When implementation of the assessment first began, teachers said they had to share the testing materials and that this was very inconvenient and stressful. However, every teacher was reported to have his/her own testing materials this year. Other positive comments related to the emergent literacy emphasis for kindergarten students and the resulting improvements, especially in childrens writing. Teachers also commented positively about currently having books to use to begin teaching students to read in kindergarten (a relatively new philosophical change in reading instruction in kindergarten). I According to the teachers, the most positive aspects of Effective Literacy training were the emphases on delivery of instruction in variable groupings (whole class and small groups) and the changes in school schedules that provide two and one-half hours of uninterrupted time for reading first thing in the morning. The increased time for literacy has also given teachers more time for writing. Teachers reported the most effective aspects of the Harcourt Brace Signatures reading series to be the organization of the book around thematic units, consistent lesson structures for each day of the week, and the vocabulary emphasis in the series. In addition, the series provides English as a Second Language (ESL) materials, reinforcement of skills with workbooks, and suggested trade books to support the basal materials. Teachers from schools implementing the Reading Recovery program indicated the most effective elements included the one-to-one tutoring of students, extra time (30 minutes) for instruction of at-risk learners, and the structure of the lessons. One teacher claimed that the program works even for the hyperactive students. The most common point of agreement Page 11 of 47IM  H  II regarding effectiveness of this program, however, was that the training Reading Recovery teachers received to become certified was excellent and that schools were greatly benefiting from the leadership these teachers were providing to the schools in their roles as Literacy Coaches. Elements of the Success for All program that teachers perceived as most effective included the regrouping of students for reading instruction into more narrow ranges of ability levels and the routines of the instruction. One teacher referred to having an aide to help with instruction as one of the most effective elements of SEA\nWhen I have an aide to help teach, the kids really do much better and discipline problems go down significantly.  Middle school Language Arts/English teachers reported that students are writing more as a consequence of teacher professional development and emphasis on reading/writing workshop approaches to instruction. Other effective elements of the literacy curriculum included its H reorganization into quarters that were more manageable for instruction, and implementation of M writing portfolios that move through the grades with students. Teachers indicated that portfolios were helping to encourage high expectations for all students and the writing prompts and rubrics were especially helpful to teachers in structuring and evaluating student writing. High school English teachers were more reserved in attributing effectiveness to any H particular elements of the literacy programs that are operational in their schools. They explained, We dont know (whats been most effective) until we see the test scores. Two strategies. paired reading and interactive journals, are relatively recent approaches teachers referred to as II working well. II II II II III II Least effective elements of the literacy programs One primary concern about ELLA was the inconsistency of implementation across schools. Teachers explained that judging the effectiveness of ELLA is complicated by high rates of student mobility, especially when students move from one school with strong ELLA implementation to another school where there is less emphasis on ELLA concepts and strategies. Teachers also mentioned that although they liked the new approaches to student assessment of progress, it was difficult to individually test a class of 25 students, and there had been a change in the cap or cutoff for first grade to level 8 even though some students are at level 25 or 30. Teachers were not clear about why the level was changed and what purpose it served in helping teachers and students move to appropriate levels of instruction. Effective Literacy teachers indicated that they did not perceive any ineffective or undesirable elements of the literacy initiatives in the district. In the teachers words: We like it and We want all the training we can get. Teachers concerns about the Harcourt Brace reading series centered around the amount and depth of comprehension work required by the books and workbooks, the number and simplicity levels of the stories, and vocabulary that was too difficult for some grades and too easy for others. Another concern was that the texts were not good matches for the SAT-9 achievement test. Page 12 of 47d d d d d d d d d d d II II II Reading Recovery programs have specified guidelines regarding acceptance of students into the program and discontinuance of students after 20 weeks of instruction. Teachers indicated concerns that these policies interrupted student success and were not always in the best interests of students and their continuing progress. One teacher said, Students dont continue to make the same kind of progress in literacy groups that they have made in individual tutoring sessions. Others commented that in some cases, students have been discontinued because of behavior and not reading ability and that some schools are not accepting the lowest students or students who speak English as a Second Language (ESL). Success for All teachers most common concerns related to the lack of flexibility in the program. One teacher said that the timing of the individual activities presented in a days lesson did not include enough time to monitor for student understanding. Other related concerns were that there was no room in the schedules for review and that the program did not allow teachers to move students down in ability level even if they needed to be moved to more appropriate reading levels. Thus, when students at lower levels got behind a grade level or more, it was difficult to find an appropriate group for them. Because of a highly transient student population, teachers find that they constantly have to train the students to the routines and in cooperative learning. Teachers reported that the least effective elements in middle school literacy initiatives were the gaps in the training. Because the training started several years ago, new teachers have not received much. In addition, teachers indicated that there needed to be reading classes in middle school for all students and not just for the lowest performers. Additional concerns about literacy were that grammar was not being emphasized any longer and that increased classroom emphasis on writing did not match assessment formats. One teacher explained. When there is so much emphasis on writing, test scores go down because students are tested in multiple choice formats. One concern that teachers emphasized was the lack of consistency in literacy instruction and programs in middle schools. One teacher said, All schools are doing something different. Another teacher suggested that there was need to rewrite literacy programs and have guidelines that make programs consistent for all teachers and students. High school English teachers indicated that getting everybody (teachers) to participate and support the literacy initiatives across subject areas was difficult. They heard complaints from teachers about the increase in the amount of work for them when they gave even tiny writing assignments to students. In addition, it was hard for teachers to check to ensure that students read 25 books across multiple classes. II d Teacher Support for Literacy Initiatives Overall, teachers reported that support for ELLA, and Effective Literacy initiatives is high primarily because the concepts and strategies fit well with what they were already doing or moving toward anyway. One teacher said, It comes naturally and is working well at our school. Another indicated that much of ELLA was what she was already doing and by combining and adding the ELLA principles to it, she had created a true balanced literacy environment. Page 13 of 47 h d d d d Teachers were more equivocal about their support of the Harcourt Brace reading textbook series. According to one teacher, Its there. We use it. Another explained, If we find the books lacking in some way, we search out other materials, such as novels, and supplement the reading. Reading Recovery teachers indicated that teacher support for the program varies from school to school. Some reported that their schools were more positive than others\nhowever, there were no reports of any strong dislike of the program. The widest range of variability in teacher support for a district literacy program was reported by Success for All teachers who indicated that in some schools there was no support, in others the support was low and in some most of the teachers support the program. One teachers comment reflected how she as an individual had also ranged in her opinion of the program as she experienced it over time. She said, I hated it at first, but I like it a lot more now that I am working with the higher level kids. Middle school teachers had no comments about general support for the literacy programs at their schools. High school teachers, however, indicated that their colleagues had generally positive attitudes about literacy efforts in their schools. They indicated that they, as literacy experts, could possibly contribute more to other teachers confidence and support of literacy if the English teachers had more time to work with their colleagues in other subject areas and train them to use rubrics for grading writing assignments. d d II II II d d District Support for Literacy Initiatives The most common concern about ELLA relative to the question of district support was the lack of consistency for supporting teachers to attend training. The teachers explained that the district expects teachers to commit to eight days of training and assures them that substitutes will be supplied to relieve them of teaching duties so that they can attend the training. However, in the words of one teacher, They wont let you call and arrange for your own subs even when you know someone who is available. Then when the day comes, they don t send subs. So you can t go, or the kids get supervised by aides. Another issue of concern to teachers was not receiving supplies (e.g., phonics charts, magnetic letters), in the most recent ELLA trainings as teachers had received in earlier sessions. Teachers also expressed the need for more physical support for implementing ELLA. Specifically, they wanted to have teaching assistants for early grades who were trained in EJ.IA concepts and strategies to provide daily support during reading instruction. Effective literacy teachers also expressed concerns about having qualified substitutes in their classrooms when they are away from their classes for training. They indicated that this problem may be centered more at the individual school administrative level, however, than at the district level. Teachers responses relative to the Harcourt Brace reading texts indicated that all the materials needed to support literacy instruction were made available to teachers through the district. One teacher reported that when she was new in a school, however, she had to hunt for the materials for herself and that she believed that other new teachers often had this same Page 14 of 47ri ri experience. She expressed the opinion that more should be done to help new teachers become aware of the resources and textbooks that were available and where they could be found. ri ri ri ri ri ri ri Reading Recovery is largely supported through Title I, a federal source of dollars that teachers did not attribute as support from the district. Teachers comments were that when schools dont qualify for federal funds, such as Title I, then the school does not receive the same level of support that other schools do. Success for All teachers indicated that the district has not supported the number of refresher trainings recommended by the model developers due to economic conditions. Teachers also reported that three schools were forced to drop the SFA program due to Reading First requirements. Middle school teachers made no comments about district support, whereas, high school teachers made suggestions for ways in which the district could provide greater support. Specifically, teachers expressed the need for literacy coaches to not only help the English teachers do a better job, but also to help train teachers in other subject areas to use rubrics, writing prompts, and consistent scoring techniques to improve students writing. Teachers also indicated the need to use district time set aside for inservice training to plan a more comprehensive literacy approach. ri ri ri ri ri ri Professional Development Teachers reports of the amount of ELLA professional development they had received relative to the 12 required days of training was highly variable. Some teachers reported receiving as little as 3 days of training while others who had taught the same number of years (or more) had completed 12. Teachers who were new to the district indicated they are expected to go one day a month for training. According to teachers, there were also differences among schools regarding monies that paid for training (Title I in some schools). Some teachers were also offered stipends to attend training, whereas others were not. One teacher indicated that some training sessions had not been accessible because the number of participants was limited. Although teachers were generally positive about the quality of the training, some were not. One teacher said, I got more from my college class than I did from ELLA training, and another suggested that If training were better, people would buy into it more. Teachers offered several specific suggestions for ways the professional development could be improved and made more effective. Some of these ideas included selecting successful inservice teachers to do the training\nusing videos that were more realistic in terms of numbers of students in a classroom\nmaking the training more hands-on and less video and lecture\nand offering the training at better times, even during the summer. ri Although professional development in Effective Literacy began in the district at the time that ELLA began (1999), the most sessions any one teacher in the focus group had completed was four out of the eight. According to teachers, the district presently expects same teachers to complete all eight days by the end of their first year of teaching, but as with ELLA training, sessions have been limited by numbers of participants, and thus teachers have not always been able to attend them. The teachers were generally positive about the quality of the Page 15 of 47 *ri ri ri ri ri training. One teacher commented that, If we hear just one thing to help change up the day and make things better for the students, thats good. Teachers also liked scheduling the training during school hours and immediately after school. Teachers reported that the professional development provided for using the Harcourt Brace reading series was offered by company representatives at the time of adoption and that there had not been any ongoing training since that time even for new teachers or for teachers who change grades. One teacher commented that the training that was done started halfway into the year and that put me behind in using it [reading textbook]. Another concern for teachers was that the trade books that are referenced in the reading series, and modeled and suggested in the training, were not available in the school libraries, or there weren t enough of them for the students to use.  ri ri The most positive reports regarding professional development were made by teachers in Reading Recovery schools. The specially trained and certified Reading Recovery teacher at each school also serves as the schools Literacy Coach. Each has received additional training to be Literacy Coaches for whole schools beyond their specific training in the Reading Recovery program. In the role of coaches, the teachers have brought their training back to the school and trained others. Teachers were positive in their response to this model of professional development indicating that they [the coaches] help, model, and are non-threatening for teachers. ri M M Success for All teachers have had access to two sets of professional development activities. The training specific to the implementation of the SFA model was originally offered to schools when the model was first implemented in the district. Since that time follow-up trainings have been limited by funding, and as a result, have been combined and shared with other schools in the area that were implementing SFA. All teachers in SFA schools have also had access to ELLA training. Teacher descriptions and judgments of the quality of SFA training varied. Two teachers descriptions of the SFA training were highly positive. In their words: They were awesome presentations. Other responses were more critical with the primary concern being that they were redundant and provided too much information. ni II II II W Middle school English teachers response to professional development was also mixed. Some of the teachers indicated they had benefited from the trainings, while others described them as a waste of the districts money. Another concern was that some teachers need specific types of training (e.g., portfolios) while others dont. In general, all of the teachers indicated that they needed more training than they have received, especially in such topics as conferencing,,, hands-on application of teaching strategies, and how to do writers workshop like in ELLA. High school teachers comments regarding professional development indicated that they have no sense of a district coordinated plan for teachers. One teacher said, We have no overall picture of what we are doingjust pieces. They said also that they have lots of inservices that have been adequate, but that their time might be better spent if they worked with their faculties in their individual schools to brainstorm and plan their own comprehensive literacy programs. Page 16 of 47 kri ri Classroom Level Changes ri ri ri ELLA teachers described two major changes in kindergarten. Teachers are returning to doing centers as they had in the past, and they are emphasizing and involving students in writing. They also noted that there were increases in pressure put on five year olds to perform academically. Teachers at other grades had noted less change in classrooms as a consequence of ELLA. Comments such as, Teachers are falling back to the regular ways\n It isnt anything different than what I have always done\n We arent big on ELLA at our school\n and Sometimes we use pieces of ELLA indicated that changes in classrooms that could be attributed to ELLA would be difficult to observe. ri t Changes in Effective Literacy classrooms primarily involved more emphasis on writing activities. Teachers also indicated they had greater variety of reading materials available, including more technology-based programs such as Accelerated Reader. ri ri Teachers using Harcourt Brace basal textbooks as their primary vehicle for delivery of instruction also indicated that teachers are falling back into traditional methods even after we have trained on ELLA. One change that was noted, however, was that ELLA emphasizes placing students at their instructional levels and doing extra reading programs to meet their needs. The reading materials provide teachers with additional materials and suggestions for trade books that enable them to differentiate instruction. One teacher noted, however, that the text materials do not do enough to address the needs of lower level kids. ri ri Teachers in Reading Recovery schools provided the most positive and specific descriptions of how classrooms had changed as a consequence of the literacy program. Teachers reported that students were achieving higher, students were learning strategies to help themselves become more strategic readers, and writing was being emphasized more and had subsequently improved. One teacher commented that these changes had resulted from a combination of things\nResults have been convincing\nmaterials are good\nthe literacy coach has been helpful\nReading Recovery fills in gaps from the classroom. ri ri Success for All teachers found it difficult to describe changes as a consequence of the program because as two of them said: SEA is all I know. One teacher indicated that she does more cooperative learning than in the past. Others comments such as, I do my own thing when the door closes and I follow the program but I modify it seemed to imply that in some classrooms instruction is drifting from SEA practices to more traditional. ri ri Middle school teachers made no comments about notable changes to classroom instruction beyond the presence of special education teachers who now come into classrooms with students who have individualized instructional plans to assist them in the classrooms rather than pulling students out for separate classes in literacy. ri ri High school teachers said there had been lots of changes in classroom instruction recently. However, the only major change they discussed in-depth was cooperative learning. They indicated that although teachers were trying to use cooperative learning more, they are not completely satisfied with how it is working. I Page 17 of 47n  n Impact on Students RUA teachers indicated that achievement has gone up but qualified their judgments by I saying\n.. .but we cant tease out if the changes are due to ELLA or not. They also reported that the use of leveled books had given students more confidence to try things, kindergarten students were being provided with stronger foundations for transitioning into first grade reading . _J '1^ V 1 1 f -I i\"! T1 rr I and writing expectations, and that students were really involved in writing. was too early to tell how the program had impacted I V Effective Literacy teachers said that it students. One aspect of the emphasis on literacy that they noted had impacted students was the wide range of resources and materials that they now had available to them. Another observation teachers reported was their judgment that students that were new to the district were starting at lower achievement levels than students who had consistently been enrolled in the district. at According to teachers using the Harcourt Brace reading series, students have enjoyed the  stories in the texts and have learned better cooperation skills through partner reading strategies. Teachers also reported that students have learned what good readers are and that this is helping them to be more successful. q I I I q q( Teachers in the Reading Recovery schools indicated that the impact of the program on students is largely determined by the follow through and support of the regular classroom teacher. In one teachers words: Without strong communication between the Reading Recovery teacher and the classroom teacher, it wont happen for students. Although teachers indicated that many students have been helped with Reading Recovery, they also reflected again on their concern that many students regress once they are dropped from the program and do not continue to improve. Two Success for All teachers said that achievement scores of students had gone up, while another reported this was not the case at her school. Teachers reported that students were getting bored with the structure and routines of the program at this time of the year (late spring). Middle Schools teachers indicated that the Accelerated Reader program has been useful in increasing the motivation of students to read. They also reported that the assessments and leveled readers were creating more success and confidence for students and that students were writing more. According to the teachers, behavior and classroom control of students (management) are still very big issues for achievement of middle school students. q was too early to tell what impact their teaching High School teachers indicated that it had on students this year as they are judged by whether students can read and write (as indicated q on their achievement tests). Impact on Teachers 3ie One T.f.I A teacher commented that because there is stuff going on all the time, teachers constantly busy, but not necessarily in a good way. Others agreed that the pressures and Page 18 of 47  ri  time investments have had a negative impact on teacher stamina. Another teacher explained that when schools work together and all are doing ELLA, that it is not because of ELLA necessarily, but because they are working together as a team around a central focus. A final comment was that ELLA had provided teachers with strategies and ideas that helped all teachers in a school provide more consistency across a variety of student learning levels and across schools as student mobility continues to increase. fl Ejfective Literacy teachers were reported to be excited about it. They like having the additional materials and seem to be sharing ideas among themselves more than in the past. fl Harcourt Brace Reading Series teachers indicated that they have observed teachers in their schools discussing the stories in the texts with each other. They indicated that teachers were sharing ideas and expectations they have for students more than they have in the past. fl fl Reading Recovery classroom teachers reported borrowing and successfully using many of the strategies the tutors use that are particular to the Reading Recovery program. The modeling that the Literacy Coaches have done in the Reading Recovery schools was reported to be well received and useful to teachers. fl fl Success for All teachers responses were ambivalent about the impact of the program on teachers. Three teachers said that teachers at her school hated the program and that this commonality brought them together. Another teacher claimed that teachers at her school loved the program and that it brought them together also. Another teacher reported middle ground response to the program at her school by saying, They dont hate the program, but they arent particularly enthusiastic about it. n fl Middle School teachers gave no response to the question of impact on teachers while High School teachers reported that as a consequence of the emphasis on literacy in the district, they are sharing a lot more strategies. Although some of the teachers expected their schools to be on warning status, they indicated that teachers were staying focused on trying to identify students who are in most need and work at ways to bring them to proficiency level.

The groups were as follows\n(a) Balanced Literacy, (b) Direct Instruction, (c) Success For All, (d) Middle Schools, and (e) High Schools. See table 3 for a comparative overview. a Professional Development. Most teachers in the different programs agreed that they had _ thorough understanding of their schools literacy program and that they have received adequate professional development for program implementation. High school teachers tended to be less positive than other groups with regard to receiving effective professional development and support provided by external partners, although more than one-half of the high school teachers agreed with these items (60.9% and 56.5%, respectively). 1 II II n M M n Resources. Most respondents agreed that they had the materials needed to implement their literacy program, with the exception of high school teachers (39.1% agreement). A similar pattern was seen with regard to having sufficient faculty and staff for program implementation, where high school teachers agreed less often than teachers in other literacy program groups. In comparison with other teachers, faculty members from schools implementing Success For All and teachers at the High School level had lower levels of agreement that technological resources had become more available as a result of their literacy program. The majority of teachers (80.9%) implementing Direct Instruction agreed that they were given sufficient planning time to implement their literacy program. Other respondents were less positive with regard to this item, with two-thirds of the middle school respondents agreeing that they were given sufficient planning time, and less than one-half of Balanced Literacy (47.2%) and High School English (32.6%) teachers agreeing. Impact/Outcomes. Most respondents agreed that their literacy program had changed classroom learning activities and had a positive impact on students. High school teachers, however, were less likely to agree with these items. Teachers were also positive regarding the impact that their literacy program had on student enthusiasm for learning and encouraging students to have higher standards for their own work. Middle and High school teachers, however, had lower levels of agreement with these items in comparison with elementary teachers. Lower levels of agreement (less than 50%) were seen from all respondent groups regarding increased parental and community involvement as a result of the literacy programs. Teachers were also less likely to agree that they are now more involved in decision making at their schools since implementing their literacy program. Encouragingly, most teachers agreed that they are supportive of the literacy program at their school (ranging from 65.2% agreement by High School teachers to 89.4% agreement from Direct Instruction teachers).

Specifically, the examination sought to determine whether (a) African American students academic gains were similar to those of other students\n(b) there were any evident longitudinal trends in the overall achievement or in achievement gains for African American students\nand (c) at the elementary school level, there was any relationship between the literacy program implemented at the school and achievement gains of African American students. Subjects I The subjects included all students enrolled in grades 3 to 11 in the Little Rock School District during the 2002-2003 school year for whom 2003 Literacy Benchmark or 2003 SAT-9 scores were available. This included a total of 11,934 students, of whom 23.4% were Caucasian, 68.2% were African-American, and 48.5% were certified as eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Three measures were used to assess literacy: the Literacy Benchmark scale score, SAT-9 Reading subscale score, and the SAT-9 Language subscale score. Preliminary Data Screening Data Screening: Grades 5, 7, and 10. For grades 5,7, and 10, 2003 SAT-9 scores served as outcome variables, while Literacy Benchmark scores from 2002 served as a covariate for grades 5 and 7. A total of 5,320 student records were comprised of 1,842 fifth grade\n1,932 seventh grade\nand 1,445 tenth grade records101 records (1.9%) did not include a 2003 grade level indicator. These 101 records were eliminated from subsequent analyses, leaving a total of 5,219 cases. Less than 1% {n = 41) of cases did not include a valid school location code, and were thus eliminated from subsequent analyses, leaving 5,178 for further processing. A score of zero on the SAT-9 subtests indicated that a valid score was not obtained. For fifth grade, 307 students were missing 2002 Literacy Benchmark Scores, 82 scored 0 on the SAT-9 Reading subtest, and 16 scored 0 on the SAT-9 Language subtest. For seventh grade, 325 students were missing benchmark scores, 57 had scores of 0 on the Reading subtest, and 47 had scores of 0 on the Language subtest. Tenth grade students did not have benchmark scores from the preceding year\n43 had scores of 0 in Reading, and 54 had scores of 0 in Language. Data screening: Grades 4, 6, 8, and 11. For grades 4, 6, 8, and 11, 2003 Literacy Benchmark scores served as the outcome variable, while 2002 SAT-9 scores served as a covariate for all except grade ILA total of 6,770 student records were comprised of 1,841 fourth grade, 1,863 sixth grade, 1,759 eight grade, and 1,307 eleventh grade records. All records contained a valid grade level indicator. Only four records were deleted due to missing school location indicatorsall of these were 11* grade. All 4* grade records contained a Literacy Benchmark score. For 6* grade, 1,487 records had matching pretest (SAT-9) and posttest (Benchmark) scores\nrespective numbers for 8* and 11* grades were 1,447 and 985. After eliminating cases with a SAT-9 score of zero, the number of cases retained for analysis was 1,395 for 6* grade, 1,359 for 8* grade, and 946 for 11* grade. Finally, to be included in Page 24 of 47ri ri ri multivariate analyses using Benchmark, SAT-9 Reading, and SAT-9 Language scores, cases were required to have valid scores on all three instruments (or both SAT-9 scores for 10 grade). ri ri The results of data screening for all grades are depicted in Table 4, along with the percentage of children eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the percentage of African American students, and the mean Literacy Benchmark score for unscreened and screened samples. Across grades, match rates ranged from 72.4% for 11* grade, to 100% for 4' grade. Comparisons on key variables indicate that the screening procedures did not substantially alter the composition of the samplesthe largest observed discrepancy for any demographic variable was a 1.8% difference in the number of African Americans in the 11* grade sample (see Table ri 4). Likewise, differences on the Benchmark test means were small, the largest being a difference of 3.7 for 11* grade, which represents an increase of about one-tenth of a standard deviation unit from prescreen to postscreen. It is worth noting that the percentage of children eligible for free  1  1_______J__________11,. j i ith rimhohlv rliip tn nhildrpn flt ri or reduced-price lunch dramatically declines in lO'** and 11* grades, probably due to children at these grade levels not applying for the program.

The basic analytic model used to gauge district-wide achievement effects was a 2 (free lunch status) X 2 (gender) X 2 (African-American, nonAfrican American) analysis of variance (ANOVA). This basic model was adapted to each grade level to reflect: (a) the availability of achievement data from the prior year, in which case a 2 X 2 X 2 analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used\n(b) the specific 2003 outcome data that were available at each grade level (either Literacy Benchmark scores or SAT9 scores)\nand (c) the number of outcome variableswhere both Reading and Language SAT9 scores were available, multivariate analysis of variance or multivariate analysis of covariance was used. Within each grade level, outcome variables were converted to Z-scores to aid in the interpretation of results and to permit comparisons across grade levels for which different outcome variables were available. Z-scores express the original scale scores in standard deviation units. Partial eta- squared (e^) values were computed for prior achievement, gender, race, and free lunch status. Partial indicates the proportion of variance in the outcome variable that is uniquely attributable to each predictor variable (see Tables 5 and 6). ri Table 5 Average Unadjusted Z-scores by Grade Level, Free Lunch Eligibility, Gender, and Race ri Grade Level Not eligible Female Male Female Free lunch eligible Male ri ri Fourth Non African-American African-American Fifth Non African-American African-American Sixth Non African-American African-American Seventh Non African-American African-American Eighth Non African-American African-American Tenth Non African-American African-American Eleventh Non African-American African-American 0.85 0.32 0.95 0.10 0.78 0.25 1.06 0.17 0.93 0.37 0.90 -0.10 0.83 -0.10 0.53 -0.13 0.84 -0.22 0.49 -0.17 0.95 -0.05 0.58 -0.19 0.70 -0.34 0.50 -0.22 0.23 -0.14 0.16 -0.30 0.21 0.01 0.08 -0.24 -0.13 -0.05 0.13 -0.51 0.36 -0.11 -0.09 -0.54 0.01 -0.56 -0.13 -0.50 0.09 -0.58 -0.37 -0.57 -0.30 -0.60 -0.07 -0.60 * 'Literacy Benchmark scores for grades 4, 6, 8, and 11\nSAT9 Reading subtest scores for grades 5, 7, 9, and 10.

A performance gap analysis was performed for grades that had data available for two consecutive years (i.e., matching pretest and posttest scores). The performance gap was defined as the standardized difference in pretest-adjusted means between African American students and other students within gender and free lunch status categories\nthus, four performance gap estimates were computed for each grade level. These performance gaps were then regressed on grade level to ascertain whether there was a trend across age cohorts. If If If If School composition and program effects. For elementary schools, information was available regarding specific literacy programs being implemented in the schools. For 5 grade, a two level hierarchical linear model (HLM) was performed to examine relationships between school composition factors (aggregate poverty, mean achievement at pretest, and percentage African American enrollment), school literacy programs, and student achievement. In HLM, a student-level (Level 1) model of reading achievement is constructed for each school. The Level 1 model provides a mean (or predicted mean) for each school, as well as a slope coefficient for each student-level predictor. The means and slopes computed for each school in the Level 1 modeling process become outcome variables in the Level 2 (school) model. At level two, HLM uses school composition and program variables as predictors of the means and slopes computed in the Level 1 model. A major advantage of HLM over traditional analyses, in addition to producing more reliable and accurate statistical tests, is that it allows one to assume that the relationships between Page 27 of 47 H  student achievement and other student variables are different from school to school. These differences can then be modeled as a function of school characteristics. For example, in addition to ascertaining whether particular features of a school are associated with the overall average effectiveness of a school, one can determine whether school characteristics are associated a more equitable distribution of achievement gains across levels of prior achievement, or are differentially effective for students with different characteristics (e.g., African American students). Because development of HLM models is exploratory, full specification of the analyses is presented in the results section. Longitudinal cohort performance on Benchmark Examinations. For fourth and eighth grades, three consecutive years of Literacy Benchmark Performance Level data were available. The percentage of African American students scoring in Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced categories was computed for each year from 2001 to 2003 to provide a basis for examining overall trends in performance across time. Elementary Level Results District-wide Achievement Effects Fourth grade. ANOVA revealed significant main effects for gender (Fi,i83i=52.15, p \u0026lt; .001), free lunch status (Fi,i83i=l 13.30, p \u0026lt; .001), and race (Fi,i83i=87.75,p \u0026lt; .001). None of the interaction effects were significant, which indicates that the main effects for each variable were constant across levels of the other variables. Mean Literacy Benchmark scores were significantly higher for females (M = 214.6) than for males (M = 203.0), for students not eligible for free lunch (M = 217.4 versus M = 200.2), and for non-African American students (Af = 216.4 versus M = 201.2). As shown in Table 7 and in Figures 1 and 2, mean scores for African American students were approximately four-tenths of a standard deviation lower than those of non- African American students who were of similar gender and free lunch eligibility status. An examination of longitudinal cohort performance on the Benchmark Literacy examination showed a dramatic reduction in the percentage of African American students scoring in the Below Basic range from 2001 (49.1%) to 2003 (20.4%\nsee Figure 3). Simultaneously, the percentage of African American fourth graders who scored at a Proficient level increased from 19.1% in 2001 to 45.2% in 2003 (see Figure 3).

MANCOVA showed significant two-way interaction effects for between gender and African-American status (F2,i463=3 194, p \u0026lt;.05) and African-American and free lunch status (F2,i463=3.195, p \u0026lt;.05). Follow-up univariate tests indicated that the gender X African- American interaction effect was significant only for SAT9 Language scores (Fi,i464=6.37, p =.012), whereas the free lunch status X African-American interaction was significant only for SAT9 Reading scores (Fi,1464=4.598, p \u0026lt; .05). Accordingly, univariate post hoc tests were performed on the interaction effects. Four gender X race groups were formed to test the interaction effect on language scores: African-American males, African-American females, other males, and other females. These groups differed significantly on pretest-adjusted SAT9 Language scores (F 3,1538=37.55, p\u0026lt;.001). Post hoc tests indicated that each adjusted group mean was significantly different from the others, with other males having the highest adjusted Z-score (M=0.38), followed by other females (Af=0.25), African-American females (M= -0.04), and African-American males (M=-0.15). The interaction was attributable to a larger performance gap between males than females across levels of race (see Figure 4). ri Page 31 of 47d d d d d d d .50 .40  .30 .25 .20 .10 0.00' -.10 -.20 E^Non Afr-American ^lAfrican American d Female Male d Figure 4.

Adjusted Mean Z-scores by Free Lunch Status and Race: Fifth Grade SAT9 Language. School-level predictors of achievement gains and the relationships between student characteristics and student achievement: A hierarchical linear model of 5'* grade achievement. To further explore the relationships among school-level variables and student achievement, a 2- level hierarchical linear model was constructed for fifth grade achievement. First, student-level regression equations were estimated for each school, using 2003 SAT9 reading scale scores as the outcome variable, and 2002 Benchmark Literacy, African American status, free lunch eligibility status, gender, and special education status as predictor variables. Benchmark Literacy scores were centered on the grand mean for this variable, meaning that the intercept of the regression equation for each school was equal to the pretest-adjusted mean score. Relationships were then estimated between the regression coefficients for each school and school composition variables (i.e., reading program, presence of a literacy coach, percentage of African American students, percentage of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch). School composition variables associated with a t-value greater than 2.0 were then incorporated into the final model. As Table 5 indicates, the percentage of students eligible for free lunch was a potential predictor of mean adjusted achievement (Bq, or the school-level intercept), the slope associated with gender, the slope associated with special education status, and the slope associated with African American status. The percentage of African American students was a potential predictor of the slope associated with special education status, as was implementation of the Success for All reading program (see Table 8).

The percentage eligible for free lunch also was negatively related to the slope for gender f = -2.385, df =31, p =0.023), meaning that the achievement differences between boys and girls grew smaller as school poverty grew higher. The percentage of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch was positively related to the slope indicating African American status (r=3.305, df= 31, p = 0.003), which shows that the achievement gap between African American and other students became lower as school poverty rates increased.

Follow-up tests were performed using grouping variables as was done for fifth grade. Post hoc comparisons showed that (a) adjusted mean Z-scores for African American students eligible for free or reduced price lunch (Mseading = -0.13, MLanguage= -0.10) were significantly lower than all other groups\n(b) there was no significant difference between non-eligible African American students (MReading = 0.01, MLanguage= -0.03) and free lunch eligible other students (MReading= 0.09, MLanguage= 0.14), and non-cligible, non-African American students had higher adjusted mean scores than all other groups (MReading= 0.47, MLanguage= 0.44). For both Reading and Language scores, the interaction was attributable to a more pronounced difference between African American students and Other students who were not eligible for free lunch (see Figures 7 and 8). Follow-up tests of the gender X race interaction effect indicated that the adjusted means for African American females (MReading = -0.08, MLanguage= -0.11) did not differ significantly than those of African American males (MReading = -0.08, MLanguage= -0.14), while both groups had significantly lower adjusted means than Other males (MReading = 0.47, MLanguage= 0.31) and Other females (MReading = 0.29, MLanguage= 0.43).

Performance gap is defined as the difference in mean adjusted Z-scores between African American and other students of the same gender and free lunch eligibility status. An upward trend indicates a reduction in the gap.

Page 42 of 47 ri Summary and Conclusions ri The Little Rock School District is commended for the emphasis given to increasing literacy in all schools in the district and not just those in the lowest performing strata. The state and local initiatives in literacy for early learners, including ELLA and Effective Literacy, are well grounded in current research of best practice. In addition, the Reading Recovery and Success for All models are among the best researched and proven programs in the nation for lower-performing students. Impressions from interviews and survey data, however, are that these programs are often perceived as separate and discrete entities instead of integral to a district comprehensive literacy program. Teachers describe themselves or their schools as doing ELLA or Success for All and only the certified tutors doing Reading Recovery. Unfortunately, teachers using the basal reading series dont perceive their schools as doing a literacy program at all. Teachers commented that their schools weren t big on ELLA, or that they close the door and do their own thing. Middle and high school teachers comments seemed to indicate that they also did not perceive themselves as being involved in a literacy plan beyond the traditional roles they have had as English teachers. Thus, it is recommended that the districts plan, or big picture of literacy, be developed and presented to teachers in a format that communicates how each program, school, grade level, and teacher contributes to and accomplishes literacy goals. The professional development in basic literacy has been well received and represents an enormous accomplishment for the district. It is recommended that efforts be intensified in this regard as teachers indicated that they were appreciative of and eager for training. Management and delivery of the professional development, however, needs to be made more consistent and available to teachers. The primary concerns voiced by teachers were scheduling problems, inadequate space and availability of training for the numbers of teachers needing to be trained, retraining for teachers who change grade levels, training for new teachers, and obtaining qualified substitutes for teachers while they attend training. In addition, the same level of professional development needs to also be made available to upper grade, middle, and high school teachers. The impressions of professional development communicated by upper grade teachers and those who were not implementing special programs were that professional development has been minimal, targeted to cunent hot topics (e.g., portfolios), and inconsistent in quality. Teachers perceptions of the impact of literacy programs were extremely mixed. Writing and composition were literacy areas that all teachers agreed had been emphasized and improved in their schools and classrooms as a consequence of literacy initiatives in the district. Although ELLA has generally been well received by teachers, the level of change it has engendered in teachers instruction is difficult to determine. Some of the positive comments relative to ELLA had more to do with the materials teachers had received as a part of the training than the new ideas they had been provided. During the focus groups, the most impressive level of agreement that teachers voiced was by teachers who had Reading Recovery teachers as Literacy Coaches in their schools. Teachers recognized the level of expertise that the Reading Recovery teachers had and voiced strong appreciation for and dependence on these teachers leadership in implementing literacy instruction in their schools. The concept of highly trained Literacy Coaches being placed in and available to all elementary schools is a national issue presently and it is Page 43 of 47I I fl fl fl recommended that the district find ways to support this concept not only in elementary schools with large at-risk populations, but in all schools in the district. In terms of achievement, the conclusions based on the results of analyses performed on are presented below by research question. It should be noted that these conclusions might not apply if data were available for grades K - 3, or if pretest data were available for fourth grade. Special caution is in order related to interpreting the effects of school programs on student achievement, because those analyses were based only on 5* grade data, whereas the programs tend to focus more strongly on the lower grades. Elementary Achievement 1. After controlling for gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and prior achievement, did African American students exhibit similar levels of academic achievement as other students?  African American students had substantially lower absolute performance than did other students.  The academic gains on literacy tests were lower for African American students than for other students. 2. What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable to whether students were African American?  Although there was a significant relationship between African American status and student achievement, the proportion of variance in academic performance attributable to African American status was very low4.6% for fourth grade, and 5.7% for fifth grade. 3. What was the trend in the achievement of African American students on the Literacy Benchmark examination from 2001 to 2003?  The performance of African American fourth grade students on the Benchmark Literacy examination improved dramatically between 2001 and 2003, with nearly half performing at a Below Basic level in 2001, compared to only one-fifth in 2003. 4. Was there a relationship between the literacy program implemented at the school, school composition variables, and the achievement of African American students?  No significant relationship was observed between the type of literacy program implemented and the achievement of African American students.  The percentage of African American students enrolled in a school did not predict overall achievement or the achievement of African American students.  School poverty, as measured by the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced- price lunch, had a negative effect on the achievement gains of students. Page 44 of 47I Secondary Achievement 5, After controlling for gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and prior achievement, did African American students exhibit similar levels of academic achievement as other students?   The absolute level of achievement of African American students was substantially lower than that of other students of similar gender and free lunch eligibility status.  Generally, the gains in academic achievement of African American students were similar to those of other students in grades 6 to 11. a 6. What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable to whether students were African American? !l  When data on prior achievement were available, the proportion of variance in 2003 achievement attributable to African American status was quite low at the secondary level, ranging from 0% to 5%. a 7. What was the trend in the achievement of African American students on the Literacy Benchmark examination from 2001 to 2003?  a  The performance of African American 8* graders on the Literacy Benchmark exam improved substantially and consistently between 2001 and 2003, with the percentage scoring Below Basic dropping from 48.5% to 34,5%, and the percentage scoring Proficient increasing from 14.9% to 23.9%. 8. Were differences in achievement gains between African American students and other students similar at different grade levels and for different test instruments? a  From the 5 to the 8* grade cohort, the achievement gains of African American students became more similar to those of other students, and for some subgroups surpassed those of other students in 8* grade.  The gap in achievement gains was greater on the SAT9 than on the Literacy Benchmark examination. Presumably, the Literacy Benchmark examination is more closely aligned to the mandated curriculum than is the SAT9, which is intentionally designed to be insensitive to curricular differences. Overall Achievement a Substantial differences exist in the overall achievement of African American students and other students in the Little Rock School District. African American students tend to gain in literacy achievement at a lower rate than other students, especially at the elementary level. The differences in academic gains tend to be smaller at higher grade levels. The three-year trend in Literacy Benchmark scores shows substantial, sustained improvement in the academic achievement of African American students between 2001 and 2003. African American status of the student, as well as the percentage of African American students enrolled in a school, explain only small amounts of variance in student outcomes compared to prior achievement. The Page 45 of 47Il II II aggregate poverty level of the school, however, is significantly related to achievement gains made by students attending the school. None of the curricular programs examined in this study had a significant impact on the achievement of 5* grade studentshowever, these programs are most likely to have an impact at lower grade levels.

Our recent conversations with you and others who gather enrollment data for the PCSSD reveal a problem that begs resolution before we can proceed further with our report. Last year, the district's pre-K students at Landmark and College Station initially were not included in the enrollment count provided to us, even though those students had been part of the count each previous year. Our inquiry revealed that the student assignment office had reasoned that children in HeadStart classes, which aren't funded by the district, shouldn't be included in the student tally. When I asked Dr. Henderson for clarification of the discrepancy last year, he made the decision to count the HeadStart students, so we again included them in our report. This year, we're aware that the numbers we've received from the PCSSD include the pre-K students at Landmark but not at College Station. I'm concerned about the apparent inconsistency in the figures provided us, not only among schools, but from one year to the next. The district is certainly free to change the way it counts its enrollment, but we ask that the superintendent be involved in making that decision. Please discuss this matter with Dr. Henderson, explaining your views of the pros and cons about including HeadStart students, since they affect racial balance as well as enrollment totals. If the district wishes to discontinue including HeadStart students in its count, we're perfectly willing to accept that decision and will simply make a note to that effect in our report. However, regardless of the district's chosen approach to counting students, I ask that it be consistent from one school to the next within any given year. Please notify us of your decision and provide us with recalculated numbers for all affected schools as soon as possible, as the lack of complete information is delaying our report. Thank you very much. cc: Karl Brown Don Henderson BG PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT November 18, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE AND US MAIL Mrs. Ann Marshall, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring One Union National Plaza 124 West Capitol, Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Mrs. Marshall: 925 East Dixon Road/P.O.

Re: PCSSD 2003-04 Enrollment Numbers One Union National Plaza 124 West Capitol, Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501) 376-6200 Fax (501) 371-0100 Via Fax Thank you for your prompt response to my request for clarification of the district's enrollment numbers in relation to pre-K students, specifically those enrolled in HeadStart, as well as for a consistent count from school to school and for appropriately revised numbers. The difference we note between the figures we received today and those previously provided is that the total number of students is 4 7 less than reported earlier: all 31 Pre-K students at Landmark no longer appear in the report and the count of pre-K students at Bates has shrunk by 16 (from 52 to 36). Your cover letter reads that, \"the District's position is not to include Pre-K Headstart students or students in the District's Pre-K program in the enrollment report.\" I've underlined the part of the statement that we find confusing, because the school-by-school figures still show the same pre-K enrollment at Adkins, Bates, Crystal Hill, Clinton, Harris, and Oak Grove elementaries. Do you intend to exclude all pre-K students or not? Do you consider that your October 1, 2003 enrollment is 18,205 or 18,475 (totals that appear on your latest set of figures) or some other number? Please furnish us the figures that accurately reflect the district's decision about its student count. Also, please briefly explain why the district has chosen to count--or not count--any or all pre-K students so we can make the appropriate notation in our report. Thank you. cc: Karl Brown Don Henderson 11/20/2003 17:23 5014901352 EQUITY PUPIL SERVICE PAGE 02/03 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT November 20, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE AND US MAIL Mrs. Ann Marshall, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring 124 West Capitol Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72.201 Dear Mrs. Marshall: 925 East Dixon Road/P.O. Box 8601 Little Rock, Arkansas 72216 www.pcssd.org (501) 490-2000 As stated in my previous letter, the District will not include Headstart students or PCSSD Pre-K students in the October 1 enrollment count. The total K-12 enrollment reported for October 1, 2003 is 18,205. The District receives no fu.nding from the state for Pre-K students. Therefore, those students are not included in the count provided to the Arkansas Department of Education. The Headstart program is not funded by the District. The staff, materialseverything needed to run the program-are funded by outside agencies. The only thing the District provides is building space. Therefore, those students are not included in the total enrollment reported to the state. The nine-page enrollment report, used for multiple purposes, identifies the total enrollment for grades K-12. Toe District Pre-K enrollment also appears on that report. You will note that the school's total including District Pre-K students is highlighted in yellow. The last line in each school section identifies the school total enrollment (Pre-K not included). Page nine is a summary of the District's student enrollment. Pre-K is again highlighted in yellow, for October 1, 2003. Please note the yellow highlight in ,the red framed box, which clearly states that Pre-K children are not included in the state's October 1, 2003 count. 11/20/2003 17:23 5014901352 EQUITY PUPIL SERVICE You raised questions regarding the changes in Landmark and Bates Pre--Kt otals. The Pre-K program at Landmark is not a District program\ntherefore, those 31 students are excluded from the revised report. Bates has two District Pre-K classes with a tot.al enrollment of 36 students. The 16 students excluded from the revised report are enrolled in a Headstart class. We appreciate your attention to the details of this report. Hopefully, this clears up any confusion regarding student enrollment.

In 2001-02, the district converted Fuller, Northwood, Robinson, and Sylv. Ji,' s j nior highs into middle schools, which moved most remaining elementary 6'h graders into middle schools and 9'h graders into senior highs. Some sc qols were not affected by the 2001-02 reorganization: Crystal Hill, Oak Grove, and Pine Forest elementaries continued serving grades K-6\nJacksonville Middle, grades 6-7\nJacksonville Junior, grades 8-9\nJacksonville High, grades 10-12\nand Oak Grove Junior/Senior High, grades 7-12. As a result of the reorganizations, some schools had population shifts in 1997-98, others changed in 2001-02, and a few schools were not affected at all by either reorganization. In the chart below, the symbol  denotes the year in which a school's student population was affected by the district's conversion to middle schools.

Each partnership utilizes the resources of both the school and the business for their mutual benefit. The following schools and businesses have completed the requirements necessary to establish a partnership and are actively working together to accomplish their objectives. We recommend that the Board approve the following partnerships: Chicot Elementary School and UAMS College of Nursing Dunbar Magnet Middle School and Fellowship Bible Church Fulbright Elementary School and Arvest Bank LRSD Middle and High Schools and Positive Atmosphere Reaches Kids (P.A.R.K.)

Have students from the Seminar class teach international games and provide international snacks to the home school elementary age students during their instruction time during Women's Bible Study on a weekday (or another group of Fellowship's choice). 2. Give individual students, representing a variety of cultures or a Dunbar advanced choral group, the opportunity to speak or perform for a gathering at the church (not on a Sunday morning). 3. Have members of the Garden Club, under the supervision of adult sponsors, weed and or plant in a designated garden area of the church to add beauty. 4. Have members of Y-T eens, under the supervision of Ms. Greenlee, participate in a service project at FBC (ex. cleaning out closets, baking, etc.). 5. Recognize Fellowship Bible Church as a Partner-in-Education in monthly school newsletters and at school functions. Fellowship Bible Church may: Building Use Support: 1. Make an area of the church available to the staff for their beginning of the year teambuilding, half-day meeting at no charge (Thursday, August 7 - 8:00- 12:30). Members of the church will also provide lunch for the staff that day, as well as a small gift (survival kits) for each staff member to express the value placed on them and the job they do. 2. Allow the mentors and mentees to use the FBC gym for several hours in January during their annual \"Fresh Start Field Trip\". Volunteers will be provided to assist with games and walklimbing, as well as to provide lunch. Mentoring/Teaching Support 3. Try to provide at least 15 mentors for students at the school. These mentors will hopefully include many who participated during the 2002-03 school year, as well as new mentors. Each mentor will make a commitment to meet with one student for 1 hour weekly to assist in tutoring, encouragement, accountability, and modeling a positive lifestyle. Experienced Fellowship mentors, in conjunction with VIPS (Volunteer's in Public Schools), will train and facilitate the mentors throughout the year. Recruitment and sign-up will be in August/September, the 2-hour training session will be in September, and mentoring will begin in October for new mentors and September for returning mentors. 4. Request that members of international short-term missions teams from the church speak to Social Studies and International Studies classes following their trips abroad, whenever possible. 5. Try to provide at least 10 counselors for the Abstinence-Based Education Program that will take place for 1 week during the school year. Volunteers will be small group leaders for a 1 %-hour session on 3 days. 6. Provide support and training for the fathers of Dunbar students, in conjunction with the Dads of Dunbar. This might be accomplished by small practical \"give-aways\" to dads during their monthly come-t~lunch dates and through 1 or 2 \"Dads of Dunbar nights\" at the schoo! where a 1 or 2-hour seminar on manhood o, fathering is provided by a teache, !D \".....'.

Physical Labor/Materials Support 7. Challenge members of the church to participate in several smaller-scale physically intensive projects chosen by the Dunbar administration during the SHAREFEST weekend in November. PARTICIPATION IN SHAREFEST IS YET TO BE DETERMINED, BASED ON THE ONGOING RENOVATION OF DUNBAR AND PRIOR SHAREFEST COMMITMENTS MADE BY FBC. 8.

Facility Services Directorate has a very complicated financial organization. Our personnel are responsible for maintaining our operational budgets, grant budgets, dedicated. millage budgets, and bond monies. At the start of the funding-cycles for the bond and the dedi.cate\u0026lt;l millage, we were given authority to hire additional financial persons to assist in the tracking of these large accounts. We interviewed a number of applicants\nbut, because we were unable to offer the salary that was necessary to secure a highly qualified person for the position, we went down our priority list and hired someone who appeared to be qualified. Within 10 months, this person resigned because of her inability to understand and execute the complexities of the District's funding-system. We recently re-advertised for this position. Since that re-advertisement, we have been successful in receiving forty~four applications\nand, after a lengthy review and intervi.ewprocess, we narrowed that number down to six. Our number-one-choice applicant 1s Mr. Roy Percy, whose resume' is attached. As may be seen by Mr. Percy's resume', be bas a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Business Administration. Be has an extensive accounting background\nand, through personal interviews, scrutiny of his resume', and limited background checks that we have conducted with persons with whom he is acquainted, we have found him to be extremely qualified. However, because of his background, and the extent of his experience, it is not possible for us to offer him a position that he would be willing to consider at the District's roaxnnum hire-level of 49-12. I feel that, in order for us to hire Mr. Percy, we must be able to offer him 49-15. I ask that you review his resume' and for your concurrence in our being able to make this offer to Mr. Percy.

Holmes, Interim Superintendent Title/Subject: 2002-03 Annual Report Summary: Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) Rules Governing Standards for Accreditation of Arkansas Public Schools, Standard 7.02.2, requires each school district to publish an annual report \"in a newspaper with general circulation in the district before November 15 of each school year, a report to the public detailing progress toward accomplishing program goals, accreditation standards, and proposals to correct deficiencies.\" Further, Standard 7.03.3.1 requires each school board, prior to November 15, to hold a public meeting to review and discuss its annual report. Objectives: To provide a summary of the information that will be included in the published 2002-03 annual report. Expected Outcomes: Budget Amt.: To raise public awareness of the district's activities and performance during the 2002-03 school year and to comply with ADE directives. Cost of publishing the annual report is about $8,600. Additional copies are printed for district use as a recruitment tool and information brochure during the school year. The summary of the annual report is provided. Major information categories in the report include academic performance and student discipline\nboth areas have been previously reported to the Board.

Despite many challenges, the 2002-03 school year was successful in terms of growth in many academic indicators. Student learning is, and will always be, the primary focus in our schools. Teachers continue to monitor closely student performance on key state and national achievement tests. Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, schools analyze student performance data based on specific subgroups, including race, limited-Englishproficient, free/ reduced lunch qualification and special education. While many schools experienced double-digit growth on the state Benchmark Exams, in some cases a subgroup performance might have resulted in a school being placed on school improvement. In other cases, if a school made its required improvement during the year, it remained on the school improvement list because two consecutive years of mandated growth are required for a school to be removed from the list. We are working diligently with schools that are on school improvement in order to provide the necessary resources for teachers and administrators to improve students' academic achievement. Construction continues at schools throughout the city. Many major projects, such as Hall High, are complete, while others, such as Williams, are just beginning. Students, teachers and parents have been patient as they have \"lived through\" renovations in their buildings. Entire classes have been relocated during the process at some campuses, but the end result is worth the disorder as upgraded facilities contribute to a more appropriate and functional teaching and learning environment. The declaration last fall by U.S. District Judge Bill Wilson that the Little Rock School District is unitary in all areas except program evaluation was appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments have been held, and the district awaits the court's decision. Work continues in the final area in which the district must comply with its Revised Desegregation and Education Plan. That piece, program evaluations, is being finalized and will be submitted to Judge Wilson in the spring of 2004. The district has updated its Strategic Plan. This work, done by more than 100 community residents working in six major areas, will help to guide the district's direction in the next five years. I look forward to assisting district staff, business and civic leaders, parents and others this school year. The challenges facing our students are great and cannot be overstated. However, I believe that this community has put its support into our schools, and teachers, staff and students will benefit from knowing that public education is highly valued in our city.

Interim Superintendent\n,o a, m -n\n,o c:m Zen !20 zrc, C: a,~ 00 ~\na\n: en ?-~ o\n,,\n,o(\") C: ::z:: c,o m-\u0026lt;,o- -~m en z\n,o C) s ~(\")\n,om ~en Academic Achievement One of the primary issues facing school districts across the state and nation is student academic achievement as measured by accepted examinations. There are two types of exams administered to students-\u0026lt;:riterion-referenced exams and normreferenced exams. Criterion-referenced exams measure student achievement on a specific curriculum or base of knowledge. In the case of students in the Little Rock School District, the Arkansas Benchmark Exam is the criterion-referenced test that students take. It measures how well students are learning the mandated Arkansas standards. As of the 2002-03 school year, the Benchmark Exam was required for students in grades 4, 6 and 8. It also is required as an End-of-Course test for students who take Algebra and Geometry, and all 11 th grade students must take the End-of-Course Literacy Benchmark Exam. LRSD students recorded some significant increases at many schools on the Benchmark Exams. Benchmark results presented here indicate the percentage of students who perform at the proficient and advanced levels. There are no national comparisons on the Benchmark Exam since it an Arkansas-developed and -administered test. Grade 4 Literacy African-American White LRSD 53 90 Arkansas 46 77 Grade4 Math African-American White LRSD 35 82 Arkansas 38 76 Grade 6 Literacy African-American White LRSD 13 49 Arkansas 14 37 Grade 6 Math African-American White LRSD 8 54 Arkansas 12 50 Grade 8 Literacy African-American White LRSD 28 68 Arkansas 25 57 Grade 8 Math African-American White LRSD 4 52 Arkansas 5 33 Algebra African-American White LRSD 15 60 Arkansas 18 54 Geometry African-American White LRSD 17 63 Arkansas 11 47 11 th Grade Literacy African-American White LRSD 20 71 Arkansas 19 57 ~?I ..,\n,o c: m ZCJ\u0026gt; !20 zrC\u0026gt; C: a,::::! 00 z~ C (/) Norm-referenced exams compare student academic performance to that of a national \"norm group\" of students who took the same test. This allows a district to see how its students are doing compared to others, regardless of the specific curriculum taught in school. Students in Arkansas must take the Stanford Achievement Test, ninth edition, as a norm-referenced exam. Stanford Achievement Exam results are stated as a percentile. For example, a percentile rank of 72 means that these students did as well or better than 72 percent of the students in the norm group who took the same exam. African-American students in the LRSD were within 1 or 2 points of their counterparts in the state at every grade level. White students in the LRSD scored 9 - 17 percentile points ahead of their peers on the Stanford Achievement Test. Grade 5 African-American White LRSD 35 72 Arkansas 37 62 Grade 7 African-American White LRSD 35 73 Arkansas 37 64 Grade 10 African-American White LRSD 30 72 Arkansas 31 55 Another exam that allows comparisons with students across the nation is the ACT college entrance exam. The district's composite ACT score climbed from 19.0 in 2001-02 to 19.5 in 2002-03. Disaggregated scores are: LRSD Arkansas Nation African-American 17.1 16.7 16.9 White 23.0 21.1 21.7 Students in the LRSD showed significant progress in many areas of all of these exams in 2002-03. When scores are disaggregated and comparisons made both within Arkansas and to other students nationally, LRSD students perform quite well. Looking at the scores for the district, state and nation on all three exams, there is an achievement gap that can be accounted for, in part, by poverty. With more than 50 percent of its students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, the LRSD continues to focus on methods to help students who are not performing well on standardized exams. Academic achievement remains the LRSD's top priority.\n:o 0:, m .,,\n:o c: m !z2 \"0 ' zrc, C: 0:, ::::! 00 z~ C \"' -~ 0:,\n:o ~\ng Cr- ZO C)-\u0026lt; ),,\nJ0 nm 0:, s -\"o\"' '-z ~\"' ~ \u0026gt; What About Schools on the School Improvement List? Readers of the local newspaper may wonder why, with LRSD student scores ahead of the state and nation in many areas on required exams, there are several schools on the state's school improvement list. There are several answers to this question. There are some schools in the LRSD which have shown significant improvement on the Benchmark Exam, but they have not reached the level of improvement (Adequate Yearly Progress, or \"A YP\") required by the state. Not only must the entire school meet the A YP, but subpopulations, such as limited-English-proficient students, students who qualify for free/reduced lunch and special education students, must meet the same A YP as all other students. Also, once a school is on the school improvement list, it must meet A YP for two consecutive years to be removed from the list. Some LRSD schools did meet A YP this year, but remain on the list until they meet A YP for a second year. All schools on school improvement, indeed all LRSD schools, continue to look closely at test results to determine areas in which to concentrate lessons in order to help students learn the necessary course material and to improve academic performance in the future. What steps are being taken to assist students in schools on the school improvement list? Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, students in schools on school improvement receive supplemental services and school choice options, depending on which year of school improvement the school is placed. The LRSD offers supplemental services, which consists of tutoring by a provider selected by the Arkansas Department of Education, to students in year two of school improvement. All schools in alert status or on the school improvement list develop their school improvement plan to include proven strategies to help students build skills and knowledge in literacy and mathematics. Professional development activities in these schools are geared toward improving teacher preparation to address identified student needs. Principals of LRSD schools on the improvement list are encouraged to work with principals of schools that have scored well on the Benchmark Exam in order to duplicate successful strategies. Advanced Placement Enrollment In order to improve academic achievement, the LRSD encourages students to take challenging courses. One way to do this is through enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) classes at the high school level. AP courses are very rigorous and meet national guidelines in terms of curriculum and college preparation. Students in AP classes may take the national AP exams in the spring. Those students who earn at least a 3 on the national AP exam may, in most cases, earn college credit for these classes. The LRSD has worked with teachers, counselors, students and parents to increase student enrollment in AP classes. To that end, we have been successful. The accompanying chart shows the increase in AP class enrollment in LRSD high schools during the past few years. Since the 1997-98 school year, there has been more than 20 percent annual growth in the number of students enrolled in AP classes and a total growth during that time of more than 100 percent.

Student assignment priority will be given to the Attendance Zone student. Recommendations to establish, modify or alter attendance zone boundaries will include consideration of the operational needs of the school system. Any recommendation for establishment or alteration of boundaries will include an analysis and justification based on these factors.

The Student Assignment Plan includes attendance zone school precedence and educational choice options that maintain student diversity to the extent practicable. Providing students and their families with school choice is a key component of the assignment plan. School Choice is viewed as a healthy method of providing opportunity for students to take advantage of unique curriculum offerings, special emphasis and program activities. Procedures will be established that enable students to make application to enroll in a school outside of their designated attendance zone. Initial registration begins during a two-week open enrollment period scheduled the first two months of the calendar year. Parents and students will be informed of available options. ATTENDANCE ZONE SCHOOLS - Students are assigned to the designated attendance zone school by their recorded residence. During the open enrollment period, priority will be provided to attend the attendance zone school site. STIPULATION/ ORIGINAL MAGNET SCHOOLS were created in 1987. Seats are reserved for students in the Little Rock School District, North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) and Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD). Each district conducts an application process and assigns students to these schools. SPECIAL TY MAGNET SCHOOLS with \"themed\" or \"specialty\" programs have coursework that supplements the regular curriculum. They are available to students seeking school options or choices outside of their attendance zone schools. These specialty programs are sited at schools that also serve as attendance zone schools. Students from PCSSD may participate in these specialty programs as M-to-M transfer students. If the number of out of zone applicants exceed the number of program seats available, a weighted random assignment process will be used to identify those students who will be assigned. Criteria indicators considered in the weighted random process include the student's race, achievement test performance and economic status indicated by eligibility for free and reduced lunch. M-to-M Transfer program is a collaborative effort between the LRSD and PCSSD, which allows students school choice across district boundaries if certain criteria are met.\n:o a, m -n\n:o c:m ZC/\u0026gt; Sz!ro C) C: a,:::! 00 z?\nC C/) 0 C 0 z ~ 0z C/) c\n,,\n:o(\") C: :z: ~8 m,- !!lC/\u0026gt; -m Z\n:o C) s \"'0(\")\n:om ~C/) LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: JCA ( continued) NCLB Transfers available to students in schools identified by the Arkansas Department of Education as \"low-performing\".

Act 624, Act 762 and Act 609/School Choice Transfers are Arkansas statuts' which are available to students who wish to transfer across school district boundaries. Transfer No Transportation (TNT) Transfers permit students to attend a school other than their attendance zone school if space is available after a certain number of seats are set aside or \"reserved\" for attendance zone students and if the parent / guardian assumes responsibility for the student's transportation. If demand exceeds available space, the priority will be to promote diversity.

An LRSD administrator who has a reasonable suspicion that an employee under his or her supervision is guilty of abuse and/or untimely use of alcohol or abuse and/or untimely use of controlled substances and/or drugs may require the employee to undergo a drug and/or alcohol test. Reasonable suspicion may be based, among other things, on an employee's observed behavior which is indicative of drug or alcohol use, reports from a reliable source of suspected drug use of possession, or the employee's admission of possession or use of drugs and/or alcohol. B. The administrator will follow the following process in cases where the administrator reasonably suspects abuse and/or untimely use of alcohol or abuse and/or untimely use of controlled substances and/or drugs: 1. Solicit an explanation from the employee for any behavior which creates a reasonable suspicion of a violation of this program. 2.

Stewart, Chief Financial Officer Morris L. Holmes, Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Bill Goodman 0 SUBJECT: September 2003 Construction Report - Bond Projects I thought you might be interested in where we are financially for the Bond Construction Program. As of the end of July 2003, we have spent and/or obligated approximately $86,000,000 out of the $132,000,000 Bond Fund. This includes both construction and technology upgrade. The bottom line is we are 2/3 of the way through money that has been set aside for construction and technology for a bond issue that was approved by the public in May 2000. In three (3) years a lot has been done to improve our schools and the work is ongoing. The construction of the replacement school at Wakefield has been started. The additions to Parkview High School and Brady Elementary have been advertised for bids from contractors. Construction should begin within sixty (60) days. The design for the renovation of Mitchell is progressing and should be completed soon.

Additional information will be provided upon request, and I will be available to respond to any questions or concerns. f) :I: z .C...:. m \"' :\u0026lt; ~ .C...:. z m 5 m ~ .,,. ,\",.,..'. r. c z .C,. ..C,,.. ,c,'.:\n,:: V. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT TITLE IX REPORT THE TITLE IX REGULATIONS (1975) Virtually all educational institutions receive some fonn of direct or indirect financial support from the Federal government, therefore nearly every university, high school, middle school and elementary school is required to comply with the requirements of Title IX. The original statute, however, did not specifically refer to athletic programs. Based on the intent of Congress as reflected in the debates in both the House of Representatives and the Senate which preceded enactment of the Title IX statute, it was clear that the athletic programs were covered by the mandate of Title IX. Yet it was not until now-defunct Department of Health, Education and Welfare issued the Final Title IX Regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106, signed into law by President Gerald Ford on July 21, 1975, that the application of Title IX to athletic programs was conclusively addressed. Section 106.41 Athletics: (a) General. No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied on the benefits of, be treated differently from another person or othetwise be discriminated against in any interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics offered by a recipient, and no recipient shall provide any such athletics separately on such basis. (b) Separate teams. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, a recipient may operate or sponsor separate teams for members of each sex where selection for such teams is based upon competitive skill or the activity involved is a contact sport. However, where a recipient operates or sponsors a tean1 in a particular sport for members of one sex but operates or sponsors no such team for members of other sex, and athletic opportunities for members of that sex have previously been limited, members of the excluded sex must be allowed to tryout for the team offered unless the sport involved is a contact sport. For the purpose of this part, contact spo1ts include boxing, wrestling, rugby, ice hockey, football, basketball and other sports the purpose or major activity of which involves bodily contact. (c) Equal opp01tunity. A recipient which operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics shall provide equal athletic opportunity for members of both sexes. In detem1ining whether equal opportunities are available, the Director of the Office of Civil Rights will consider, among other factors: (1) Whether the selection of sports and levels of competition effectively accommodate the interests and abilities of members of both sexes\n(2) The provision of equipment and supplies\n(3) Scheduling of games and practice time\n( 4) Travel and per diem allowance\n(5) Opportunity to receive coaching and academic tutoring\n(6) Assignment and compensation of coaches and tutors\n(7) Provision of locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities\n(8) Provision of medical and training facilities and services\n(9) Provision of housing and dining facilities and services\n(10) Publicity (a) Unequal aggregate expenditures for members of each sex or unequal expenditures for male and female teams if a recipient operates or sponsors separate teams will not constitute noncompliance with this section, but the Assistant Secretary (HEW) may consider the failure to provide necessary funds for teams for one sex in assessing equality of opportunity for members of each sex. Adjustment period. A recipient which operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intran1Ural athletics at the elementary school level shall comply fully with this section as expeditiously as possible but in no event later than one year form the effective date of this regulation. A recipient whom operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics a the secondary or post-secondary level shall comply fully with this section as expeditiously as possible but in no event later than three years from the effective date of this regulation. In the Little Rock School District, the following sports are offered at the high school level: Men Women Football Volleyball Basketball Basketball Baseball Softball (fast pitch) Track Track Cross Country Cross Country Swimming Swimming Golf Golf Tennis Tennis Soccer Soccer !\"' ii: z .C..:. m \"' :c: :,0 0 .C..:. z m l =l m :,0 \"'\nr\u0026gt; ,m-rr C'l 0z C T C T T ('\nrr ::,: er. The middle schools in the Little Rock School District offer the following sp\u0026lt;Jrts for students: Boys Girls Football Volleyball Basketball Basketball Track Track *Soccer *Soccer *Soccer is a co-ed sport at the middle school level. The past two years, the Athletic Office has offered a golf clinic at First Tee of Arkansas for our middle schools. The Little Rock School District also provides cheerleading, drill teams, and pep squads for young women to participate, but title IX regulations do not recognize these activities as sports and thus their participants cannot be counted when comparing the number of male athletes to female athletes. The Department of Education was assigned the responsibility of overseeing the enforcement of Title IX through its office of Civil Rights (OCR). The OCR developed a \"3-Prong-Test\" to determine if compliance of Title IX is being satisfied. A school needs to satisfy only one of these three prongs in order to comply. 1) A school may provide athletic participation opportunities for female students which are substantially proportional to the female percentage of enrollment at the school. 2) A school may demonstrate a history and continuing practice of expanding its sports offering for women in the very recent past. 3) A school may show that it is fully and effectively accommodating the athletic interests and abilities of the women in its student body, Since the enrollment numbers would not be substantially proportional to female paiiicipants, the Little Rock School District Athletic Office has chosen prongs twoand three to meet Title IX compliance. As stated earlier, the LRSD offers the same number of sports for both men and women (nine). A major component of Title IX compliance deals with the issue as to whether, in an over all sense, evaluating a school's atl1letics program as whole, men and women have comparable access to all \"perks\" of athletic participation. 1n order to measure compliance, the OCR will examine the following eleven areas, represented by the acronym P-L-A-Y-I- -G F-A-I-R. p L A y I N G Protective athletic equipment and other athletic supplies Locker rooms and practice and competition facilities Allocation of travel and transportation benefits and per-diem allowances Years of experience, quality, compensation, and assignment of coaches Institutional housing and dining facilities and related services Nature of publicity-marketing-media services for athletic programs Game and practice times and scheduling F Facilities for access to athletic training benefits and medical services A Academic tutoring services for student-athletes I Institutional support services for athletic programs R Recruiting resources provided to athletic programs Not all eleven areas will be relevant for all educational institutions. Inapplicable for most high schools will be the assessment of gender equity in recruiting resources, academic tutoring for student athletes, and housing/dining facilities for student athletes. The OCR will review only those program areas of the eleven, which apply to a particular school. These components of P-L-A-Y-1-N-G F-A-I-R are some of the main areas that the LRSD Athletic Office works on to insure compliance at all middle school and high schools. For the school year 2002-03, the number of participants for athletics remained constant compared to the previous two years, both for male and female athletes. However, there were four positive situations that benefited the LRSD Title IX position. 1) ew Gynmasiwn at Hall High School 2) Increase in female athletes for swimming 3) Increase in female athletes for fast pitch softball 4) Parkview establishes a girls' soccer team The new gym at Hall High School was built in accordance to Title IX specifications. Both boys and girls locker rooms have equal floor space and lockers. The coaches ' offices for the boys are the same as the girls. The facility turned out beautiful and should benefit all of the sports programs at Hall. The number of students participating in swimming jumped from 52 to 81. Parkview had 23 female swimmers on their team. One big reason for the jump in swimming was that U.A.L.R. provided the LRSD their pool for practices. Fast pitch softball numbers continue to grow. The LRSD has increased the number of female athletes participating in fast pitch softball each year since we began offering the sport in 2001. 2002-03: Parkview High School was able to field a girl's soccer team for the first time in school history. .?,,' XI !j\n~~ -c,Z\n_8 nCl zo .... 31: 31: 31: .~...e on z f\u0026gt; :I: z .C..:. m UI :c ~ .C..:. z m\nm ~ i5 z C.,. ..C,,.. ,c,'.i\nc V. The 2003-04 school year has staiied out on a positive note for the Athletic Office. The preliminary numbers show an increase in middle school and high school football. J.A. Fair has added women's cross country and swimming to their sports they will offer. High School volleyball numbers are up. Also, L.R. Parkview's volleyball team will move into the AAAAA Central Conference beginning in the 2004-05 school year. Construction should begin on the new field house for Parkview sometime during this school year. This will be another facility that will have to comply with Title IX specifications. The Athletic Office for the LRSD will continue to comply with Title IX regulations. Any Title IX concerns will be addressed promptly and thoroughly. It is the goal of the Athletic Office to offer a safe, enjoyable, and educational experience for all athletes in the LRSD.

Summary The objective of this project is to promote the understanding and awareness of key environmental issues and associated non-polluting energy technologies, with emphasis in fuel cells, among high school students. The Arkansas Department of Economic Development Energy Office will partner with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), Entergy and select local high schools to instruct the students in key environmental issues facing Central Arkansas and the principles and applications of fuel cells. The project will begin in the schools in October 2003 which is Energy Awareness Month. 2. Background Information The Environmental Protection Agency draft Strategic Plan (2003-08) sets out five goalsClean Air, Clean and Safe Water, Protect and Restore the Land, Health Communities and Ecosystems, and Compliance and Environmental Stewardship-and describes the work they plan to conduct over the next 5 years to achieve the set goals. Community awareness of environmental issues is vital to the success of such a strategic plan. This proposal can provide both industry and regulatory perspectives on key environmental issues, with emphasis on maintaining clean air and a clean environment by the selection and employment of appropriate technologies. Fuel cell technology is one such element where emissions are contained to zero-level to enhance the quality of air we breathe. The target audiences for this project are high school students from community schools who have sufficient background in the physical sciences. The materials delivered serve to increase the students understanding of environmental issues facing Central Arkansas in the areas of air, water and waste management and will increase their awareness of the role of fuel cells on creating a clean (green) environment. This project intends to challenge them to understand the scientific principles of fuel cell physics and applications. Hands-on instruction is central to this project. Basic Principle of Operation of Fuel Cell The fuel cell is composed of an anode (a positive electrode), an electrolyte membrane in the center, and a cathode (a negative electrode). As hydrogen flows into the fuel cell anode, platinum coating on the anode helps to separate the gas into protons (hydrogen ions) and electrons. The electrolyte membrane in the center allows only the protons to pass through the membrane to the cathode side of the fuel cell. The electrons cannot pass through this membrane and flow through an external circuit in the form of electric current. This current can power an electric load, such as the light bulb, car etc. As oxygen flows into the fuel cell cathode, another platinum coating helps the oxygen, protons, and electrons combine to produce pure water and heat. Individual fuel cells can be then combined into a fuel cell \"stack\". The number of fuel cells in the stack determines the total voltage, and the surface area of each cell determines the total current. Multiplying the voltage by the current yields the total electrical power generated. Fuel cells have many advantages over the conventional energy sources besides their high efficiency. Environmentally friendly fuel cell properties could eliminate consumer concern for power generation close to homes and businesses. Depending upon fuel cell type and design, fuel-to-electricity efficiency ranges from 30 to 60 percent. For hybrid fuel celVgas turbine systems, electrical conversion efficiencies are expected to achieve over 70 percent. When by-product heat is utilized, the total energy efficiency of fuel cell systems approaches 85 percent. High-quality heat is available for co-generation, heating, and cooling. Fuel cell exhaust heat is suitable for use in residential, commercial, and industrial co-generation applications. Stand-alone fuel cell systems have the capability of reaching efficiencies greater than 50 percent, even at relatively small sizes (e.g., 10 kW). Hence, fuel cell systems could reduce the impact of electricity production on global climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere per kilowatt-hour of power. They would also reduce resource depletion and dependence on fossil fuels by allowing more power to be harnessed from the same amount of fuel. Fuel cells are assumed to be superior to the grid because they are on site and subject to fewer disruptions (e.g. storms knocking down wires). With no moving parts, fuel cells will have less instances of failure than mechanical systems. The long-term performance and reliability of many of the fuel cell systems have not yet been demonstrated in the marketplace. )\u0026gt; .\u0026lt; 0\n= :z0 ~o)\u0026gt; ..,\nz -.:, Ch ..,m 0\no :O\u0026lt; u,o -.:im ~ Ch m 0 0 :r:: ~ !B ~ :r:: !Jl\no m Ch 0 r. e.:.:. 5z ~ C 0 :z: .).\u0026gt;.. 5 :z: In 0.. , -0 :c 0 3. Project Objectives The objectives of this project are to:  Enhance physical science school curriculum materials and offer both government and industry perspectives on key environmental issues facing Central Arkansas.  Increase awareness of environmental friendly energy sources such as fuel cells to students and the community,  Educate students on the importance of a clean environment to the community,  Instruct high school students on fuel cell theory and applications,  Demonstrate fuel cell mechanics with demonstration interactive exhibits using fuel cells as alternate energy sources,  Collect data through experiments to measure pollutants and compare with conventional technology,  Stimulate enthusiasm in students for science and fuel cell technology at a crucial stage in their education, and  Establish a partnership between the Energy Office, UALR, Entergy, and ADEQ to promote, via various multimedia technologies, ways to improve the environment through the application of appropriate technologies. 4. Implementation of Project The successful implementation of the project will depend on the effective interaction between the sponsors, the Arkansas Energy Office, UALR, ADEQ, Entergy, and the community schools. The project under the coordinated management of Markey Ford, Arkansas Energy Office, Mark Bowles, Entergy, Dr. S. Pidugu Dr. and S. Midturi ofUALR, and James Gilson with ADEQ will participate with three schools that actively support this project. The Little Rock school district participating schools are J.A. Fair and Central High School. The project involves the following tasks:  Coordination between High Schools, the Arkansas Energy Office, Entergy, ADEQ and UALR This is an important step in project implementation and bears a significant role in overall project success. The Principal Investigator (Pl) will have the lead role in this step. The PI will identify a teacher from each school and plan the schedule as well as logistics associated with implementation of project. At each stage of the project, the Principal Investigator will consult with sponsors keeping them informed on the status of the project.  Develop lecture notes Importance of clean environment, (b) Different energy sources and their impact on the environment, (c) Development and operation of fuel cells, (d) Promotion of fuel cells, and (e) Laboratory handouts to carry out experiments.  Develop experiments This involves design of specific experiments for students. This includes preparation of handouts giving step-by-step instructions to carry out experiments and collect data.  Train Undergraduate students The project aims to train an undergraduate student to help the PI to carry out different tasks. The project will also benefit UALR and the local community in the future.  In Class Lecture Delivery The Principal Investigator will take a lead role in educating high school teachers and students about fuel cell technology. The lectures not only provide technological aspects but also involve student discussions.  Testing and Experimentation This session will include a demonstration of fuel cell technology using different fuel cell powered toys such as desktop cars, fans etc. These will use fuel cell power as their primary power source. Students will carry out many simple experiments to see how fuel cells actually function. They will be able to measure many parameters and understand the advantages of fuel cells over conventional energy conversion techniques. After testing and experimentation, students will be in a better position to appreciate the value of fuel cells and their impact on the environment.  Evaluation of project success Evaluation of the project will be obtained through surveys among teachers, students, and other involved participants. 5. Benefits of the Project The proposed program engages students in critically thinking about clean electricity, green transportation and the importance of a clean environment through fuel cells. This helps to produce citizens who are able to care for the environment, protect human health, and nurture local economies. By having the students investigate the fuel cell apparatus and \"toy\" devices, through lecture and hands-on training, the project will help them appreciate the connection between appropriate technologies and their impact on the environment. In the proposed project, the instruction on the principles of fuel cells will increase mathematics, physics, and chemistry knowledge. We will demonstrate the technology with model cars, which are simple to set up and fun to use. We will also use science kits, based on Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell technology, to conduct many simple experiments, collect data and demonstrate the power of fuel cells. The students will also measure pollutants and compare them with existing technology. These hands-on experiences will stimulate their enthusiasm for science at a crucial stage of their learning. 6. Public Relations and Communications As a result of developments in technology and possible non-attainment designation for ozone in Central Arkansas, state and federal leaders are currently addressing the importance of clean air. This project recognizes the importance of communicating grass root developments on environmentally friendly fuel cell devices as alternate energy resources. With the combined .!I.J, ~.... I ....

D., Assistant Superintendent Student Discipline THROUGH: Morris Holmes, Ed. D., Interim Superintendent Fax: (501) 447-3581 SUBJECT: Fiscal Impact Statement for LISA Academy Charter School Application The Little Scholars of Arkansas (LISA Foundation), Little Rock Arkansas, has submitted an application to the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) to implement a Charter School, LISA Academy, during the 2004- 2005 school year. The proposed Charter School would be initially offered for 200 fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students during the 2004-2005 school year and depending on the availability of funds, one grade (50 students) per year would be added until the school has reached sixth through twelfth grades. The school would have a maximum population of 450 students. Since this would be an open-enrollment charter, the school could potentially draw students from the District's magnet and desegregation transfer student population and from the District at-large Some of the components of the LISA Academy will duplicate services and programs already offered in the Little Rock school District  A partnership with UALR  Emphasis on science and technology  College Preparatory Program  Gifted and Talented Classes  Advance Placement Courses at the high school level  School will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily (ACC Program, open 7:30 am to 9:00 p.m. Monday thru Thursday, and 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday) Administrative Recommendation The ADE has requested that a fiscal impact statement be submitted by the school district(s) that may be affected by the school's operation. The school would have a definite impact on the Little Rock School District, because in the initial year of operation it could pull approximately $1 million dollars in funding from the District. The administration recommends that the Board vote to affirm that the operation of the LISA Academy Charter School would have a negative fiscal impact on the District and would adversely affect the District's desegregation efforts. !I'\no m ~,..

Holmes, Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Bill Goodman SUBJECT: August 2003 Construction Report-Bond Projects This has been a very busy summer with a lot of construction in our schools. In some cases, it has been frantic. I am happy to report that all of our schools opened on time and are fully functional. Even the cafeteria at Mabelvale Middle School was ready to serve food to the students in an air-conditioned room. The new elevator in Central High has been completed. For the first time, the physically handicap have access to most areas in the building. I am amazed at what was accomplished in a few weeks this summer. I would look at a building one day and it would look like a disaster. Several days later, I would look at the same building and the change for the better was unbelievable. This never would have happened without the cooperation and understanding of the principals. The Facility Services Department did an outstanding job of coordinating the work. The bids were taken for the replacement school at Wakefield Elementary on July 31 st - The low bidder's price was below the architect's construction cost estimate. The contract has been awarded to Bell Construction Company, and the groundbreaking ceremony was held this past Saturday, August 23' d  I hope you were able to attend. Mr. Doug Eaton, Director of Facility Services, will give you a verbal update of plans for the renovation of Mitchell and Rightsell. Please call me at 447-1146 if you have any questions. 810 W Mark.ham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  www.lrsd.k12.ar.us 501-324-2000  fax: 501-324-2032 !.I,,I m ~ zz ,m.. n :,:,c. z Cl m \"' :,, ~ m\n,:, il m:,,. 23r\n,:,\u0026gt; ....

Holmes, Interim Superintendent of Schools ~-Donald M. Stewart, Chief Financial Officer Mitchell and Rightsell Elementary School Updates Pursuant to questions raised at the July Board of Directors Meeting, the following information is provided with regard to the most current status on Mitchell and Rightsell Elementary Schools. As of the start of the school year, we have concluded our annual maintenance-inspections and cleaning of the heating-ventilation units at Mitchell Elementary and will be starting Rightsell Elementary School in the very near future. While finding them in relative good order, we did succeed in completing some minor repairs that will improve the moisture problems. Relative humidity tests taken in early August at Mitchell Elementary School revealed that the relative humidity ranged between 68 to 72 percent. This is not optimum, and steps are being taken to lower that humidity. We intend to take additional tests and to include carbon-dioxide tests once school is in attendance. The results should be available within a week to ten days. With these tests we can further plan what necessary steps must be taken to improve the facilities. Based on previous tests that we have done during our studies of the schools, we have concluded that the schools are safe for staff and children. Once the staff and children are back in the schools, there will be an influx of beneficial fresh air that will further improve the situation but not to the extent that we should see once we complete our bond project. On 18 August, we formulated a plan that includes both short-term and intermediate steps to be taken in both of these fine old elementary schools. It also includes a revised maintenance schedule. Our goal is to bring Mitchell's and Rightsell 's air quality within acceptable industry-standards and to provide the best environment that we can for conducting school at these facilities. We are continuing our long-range planning for renovation projects at both of these facilities. 810 W Markham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  www.lrsd.org 501-447-1000  fax: 501-447-1001 A decision was made that all necessary steps will be taken to ensure the indoor-airquality standard at Mitchell Elementary School is met so that school can remain at that facility until the summer of 2004. It is our intention, at that time, to begin the major renovation-work at this school and to relocate these children to the old Badgett Elementary School in East Little Rock. Our intention is to do the work at Rightsell as soon as the plans and specifications can be completed in early Spring, at which time we will begin work on that facility immediately.

LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Date: August28,2003 To: Board of Directors From: Lucy Neal, Director, Technology and Media Services Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent Curriculum and Instruction Through: Subject: Technology Update The following new technology activities have taken place in the last month:  The District was recently notified that the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) grant was funded in the amount of $506,553. This is a tri-district partnership grant that provides technology training for teachers in the three districts of Pulaski County. Projects include on-line training courses for teachers, as well as face-to-face classes. The grant also funds new computer labs for Woodruff and Dodd.  We are continuing to receive questions and provide answers to the organization that oversees E-Rate. We have been told that our applications are in final review at this time.  Computer Information Services has recently installed a web-based reporting system that will make data more accessible to users in the District. Training on the new system will begin this fall.  Internet access to the District has been sporadic for the last two weeks due to problems on the state network. The District has also experienced serious e-mail problems during that time. An update on both of these problems will be provided at the August 28 board meeting. !JJ \"D m ~ zz ,m...

Holmes, Interim Superintendent Collaborative Grant Proposal with UALR The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is preparing a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation that involves interactive virtual environments. The technology was recently added, for example, to theme park attractions at Universal Studios. The technology exploits a variety of techniques to integrate the virtual with the physical in a scalable, mixed reality environment. The UALR grant proposal will develop the technology for instructional uses. For example, a science teacher might have a virtual environment in which she is in the room with a virtual instructor and virtual students. She can interact with the instructor and the students as they perform a lab experiment. This episode can be a professional development experience for the teacher as she learns how to conduct the lab with her own students. Students can also benefit from a virtual environment in which materials and resources are available to them virtually that may be cost prohibitive for the school to actually have. Dr. Mary Good, Dean of the College of Information Science and Systems Engineering, and Dr. Angela Sewall, Dean of the College of Education, from UALR will give a short presentation to the Board about the possibilities for collaboration in this project. .,. ~s CJ),.- l2  c:C ... 3C \u0026lt;zSz n~ :r!:- \u0026lt;\"' C?\nzm C...: CJ) \"='I \u0026lt;5 % DATE: TO: \\V LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 August28,2003 Board of Education FROM: Morris Holmes, Ed. D. Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Linda Austin/4 Director of Planning and Development RE: Grant Proposals: 21 st Century Community Learning Center Program Background Information The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) released the 2003-2004 21 st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant competition for proposals. The grants are supported through the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The purpose of the 21 st CCLC program is to establish community learning centers that operate during out-of-school hours. Programs must provide students in high poverty schools with intensive academic enrichment opportunities along with other activities designed to complement the students' regular academic program. The District submitted two proposals, Woodruff Elementary and McClellan High School. Both schools elected to participate in the 21 st CCLC grant by virtue of the pressing academic and social needs of their students as well as their high numbers of free and reduced lunch eligible students (Woodruff: 85% and McClellan: 50%). The Woodruff 21 st CCLC program design offers a broad array of services, programs, and activities that are specifically designed to meet the needs of elementary school students. An example of some of the services to be delivered at Woodruff include: 1) a one-hour before school program, 2) a three-hour after-school program, 3) three 1-week intersession programs, 4) a visual and performing arts enrichment program, 5) a multitude of rich cultural activities, 6) an array of family services, and 7) a monthly Super Saturday program. To support and enrich grant implementation, Woodruff has established community partnerships with Wildwood Park, Twin City p .... m !!l\n,:, m U) C: ~~ ~~ 0 .0, , n 0 C: ':'\n,-~ \u0026gt;'\" ....

Highlights of the program include a six-week credit recovery summer school program for 9th grade students, a two-week 9th grade transition summer program, a before and after school tutoring program, nine 2-hour parent/family sessions, and a drug and violence prevention program. Collaborative partnerships have been established with the UALR College of Information Science and Systems Engineering, Centers for Youth and Families, Professional Counseling Associates, ITT Technical Institute, and Southwest Regional Medical Center. The grants were submitted on July 11, 2003 in order to meet the July 11, 2003 submission deadline. Fiscal Impact The Year One request for Woodruff is $149,463. The total five-year award request for Woodruff is $538,067. The Year one request for McClellan is $148,241. The total five-year award request for McClellan is $533,668. The requested funds are primarily targeted for teachers stipends for out-ofschool tutoring programs, transportation, equipment and software as well as an evening snack for each participant. Local match is not required. Recommendation The staff requests approval for the submission of this grant. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Date: August 28, 2003 To: From: Through: Re: Board of Directors -~ennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent Curriculum and Instruction Morris Holmes, Interim Superintendent End of Course Algebra 1, Geometry, and Literacy Results - Summary of End of Course Results for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Literacy - We are reporting the results of the End of Course (EOC) Algebra 1, Geometry, and Literacy Exams. Improvement in student achievement occurred in all three areas. Generally, subgroups of students in our district made similar or greater progress than the same subgroups at the state level. - The purpose of this report is to identify overall trends in student achievement, by subgroup and by school, on the EOC Algebra 1, Geometry and Literacy Exams. - Staff members will use the results to identify specific areas of strength and need in student learning in Algebra 1, Geometry and literacy so that curriculum, instruction, and professional development can be tailored to the needs of students in each school. Schools have received data about individual student performance on these exams, have an item analysis for each item on the exam, and will soon have the released items from each of the exams. This degree of detail will allow each school to be specific when identifying strengths and needs. -Expectations are that district staff and school-based staff will use the results of the EOC tests, including the item analyses and released items, to make adjustments in the mathematics and literacy programs that will lead to improved student achievement during the 2003-04 school year. -We recommend that each school thoroughly disaggregate the EOC data to provide the level of specificity needed to adjust day-to-day instruction so that this year's students continue or exceed the progress made by students that is reflected in the 2003 results. !.D., :c\nr::: en ~ emn en -0 ~ -0 m ~ -\u0026lt; .,,. ~s en,... o  l:o --\u0026lt;!C c5 z z ~~ F~ On zm .c...:. en ~ c5 z .,,.~ \u0026gt;,... __, en :c (\") ,-- :c !:!jO n~ !\u0026gt;!! men o\n,\n,\nr:::\u0026lt; cno enm o en z \u0026gt; .~.... ?\u0026lt; m CD -0 C: :c en ~z p, rn -en Zen ~~ gi s zn om CD en a On the EOC Algebra 1 Exam 30% of students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 21 % in 2001-02. This improvement of 9% compares to a statewide improvement of 8%. Sixteen percent (16%) of African American students were proficient in 2002-03 compared to 11 % in 2001-02. Sixty percent (60%) of Caucasian students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 44% in 2001-02. Hall, Cloverdale, Dunbar, and Mann all experienced growth of 20% or more from the previous year's administration. The schools with the highest overall scores were Dunbar and Pulaski Heights with 87% proficient or advanced and Forest Heights and Mann with 79% and 72% proficient or advanced respectively. The high school with the highest overall score was Hall with 32% proficient or advanced. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of the students were proficient or advanced on the EOC Geometry Exam in 2002-03 compared to 17% in 2001-02. This improvement of22% compared to a statewide improvement of 8%. A variable that most likely contributed to our large improvement was the re-sequence of math courses last year that placed Geometry after Algebra 2 instead of before Algebra 2. The change was made so that more ninth grade students could take advantage of Pre-AP Physics, which has an Algebra 2 co-requisite. The change created a one-year transition where about half as many students took Geometry. Seventeen percent (17%) of African American students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 6% the year before. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Caucasian students were proficient or advanced in 2002-03 compared to 43% the year before. The school with the greatest improvement was Central, which increased from 27% to 67% proficient or advanced. Central also had the highest number of students who were proficient or advanced in geometry with 67%. The next highest was Hall with 32%. The percentage of students in Algebra 1 and Geometry in the below basic range decreased dramatically. In Algebra 1 the percent of students below basic dropped by 11 percentage points from 2001-02 to 2002-03. Cloverdale has the largest decrease in below basic with a drop of28%. Hall has the second largest decrease with 26%. Dunbar, Forest Heights, Mann, and Pulaski Heights had or were close to zero students in the below basic category. In Geometry the percent of students who were below basic dropped by 35 percentage points from 2001-02 to 2002-03. J. A. Fair had the largest improvement with a decrease of 61 % of students who were below basic. Central had the lowest overall percent of students in the below basic category with only 8%. In literacy the percent of students who scored proficient or advanced increased from 32% to 36% over a one-year period and from 17% to 36% over a two-year period. The increase last year of 4% is equal to the statewide increase of 4%. The two-year growth exceeded the state's growth over the same period by 6% (LRSD 19%, state 13%). All five high schools experienced growth in literacy achievement over the two-year period. Parkview had the most growth in literacy among the high schools 15% over a one-year period and 30% over a two-year period. The school-by-school results for each test will be provided to Board members under separate cover.

McCoy, Director of Child Nutrition THROUGH: Morris L. Holmes, Ed. D. Interim Superintendent RE: Adoption of Resolution on Elimination of Reduced Meals Category This is the year for the reauthorization of all Child Nutrition programs by the Congress of the United States. In a recent legislative session of American School Food Service Association on reauthorization, it was a unanimous decision to ask Congress to eliminate the reduced price status in school meals programs and provide free meals to all children with family incomes below 185 percent of poverty. One strategy for rallying support is to ask school boards to adopt a resolution in support of this change in the reauthorization bill. I would recommend that the LRSD join the thousands of school food service providers nationwide in support of this change in the law. Senator Elizabeth Dole has prepared the bill to submit to Congress in support of this request. I am including with this correspondence a resolution for your review and adoption. Thank you for your consideration and support. !\" \"Tl :,:: 3: en ~ m en e.,n, ::0 0., , m s\n,,,~ \u0026gt;,.... .... en :i::n r-:,:: ~8 0 r!\u0026gt;!! mcn 0::0 3:\u0026lt; gi~ 5 en z\n,,, en?\u0026lt;\nla, .,, C: :,:en ~% _CIJ rn -en Zcn nm ig ~ zomn a, en 6 RESOLUTION BOARD OF EDUCATION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT FEDERAL CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS Whereas, the federal child nutrition programs, including the school lunch and breakfast programs, are important to the health and education of the children of Little Rock School District\nand Whereas, the child nutrition programs must be reauthorized by the Congress of the United States during the current fiscal year\nand Whereas, reduced price school meals are offered, in participating schools, to children with family income between 130 percent of the poverty line and 185 percent of the poverty line\nand Whereas, many families in the reduced price income category are finding it difficult to pay the reduced fee and, for some families, the fee is an insurmountable barrier to participation\nand Whereas, the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) provides free benefits to all participants with family income below 185 percent of poverty\nNOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Little Rock School District supports reauthorization of all federal child nutrition programs\nBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Little Rock School District urges the Congress of the United States to eliminate the reduced price school meals programs, and to provide free meals for all children with family incomes below 185 percent of poverty\nand BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this RESOLUTION shall be sent -to the Arkansas Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C.

Holmes, Ed. D. Interim Superintendent Re: School-Based Dental Hub / Clinic Pain related to dental decay is responsible for absenteeism and lack of concentration during class. Children with low socio-economic status are likely to have at least three more decayed or filled primary teeth than children from families with higher income levels. In collaboration with the Dental Health Action Team, we are presenting the proposal for \"Future Smiles: School-Based Dental Hub\" for your review. The dental hub/clinic, located at Wakefield Elementary School, will be for children at highest risk for dental problems. Dental Services will be coordinated by UALR Share America in partnership with twelve (12) agencies represented on the Dental Health Action Team and the Little Rock School District. These agencies have a three-year history of providing preventive services to our students. The attached proposal represents a five (5) year plan to implement these services beginning in August 2004. We recommend that the \"Future Smiles: School-Based Dental Hub / Clinic\" be approved as submitted. :e fl\n= 0 r-m \u0026gt;O 31:n \"'\u0026gt; ~g G} z Zo !!lm m ~~ ::c 0 0 r- 08/01/03 PROPOSAL FUTURE SMILES: SCHOOL-BASED DENTAL HUB - THE PROBLEM Tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease 5 times more common than asthma 7 times more common than hay fever Nearly twice as many children with low Socio-economic status (SES) ages 2-9 years have at least three decayed or filled primary teeth than do children from families with higher income levels. *National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.

(2001, May). Filling the Gap: Strategies for Improving Oral Health. Issue Brief. HISTORY UALR Share America and the Office of Oral Health have collaborated for three years on projects to improve the oral health for children in underserved areas of Little Rock. To that end, Share America formed the Dental Health Action Team three years ago \"to work together to improve oral health outcomes and reduce disparities among children.\" The DHAT has provided dental screenings and referrals to more than 3000 children in Little Rock Public Schools and Head Start Programs each year. - I - 08/01/03 The screening data show that 58% of children have tooth decay, 28% have untreated decay, and an alanning 5% of those children screened had emergency dental needs. Unfortunately, less than 2% of the children had dental sealants, a proven primary preventive measure. Building on the screenings in 2001, a school-based program was established to provide dental sealants to more than one-hundred 2-3rd graders in the six partner schools and Head Start Programs working with UALR Share America (Bale, Wilson, Wakefield, Franklin, Stephens, and Chicot). Existing preventive services include annual dental screening and sealants. During the fall, students with a completed consent fonn are screened to identify tooth decay and any teeth that require sealants. During February \"National Children's Dental Health Month\", sealants are placed, with 4 stations set up in the schools and staffed by volunteer dental professionals. The process takes approximately 15-25 minutes using the light cured system.  Currently we have a 50-65% return rate for parental consent fonns. PROGRAM DESIGN: The Dental Health Action Team proposes to establish a \"school-based dental hub/clinic\" for the children at highest risk. School-based dental programs create immediate access to oral health care by taking the services to the populations in need. The hub, located at Wakefield Elementary School, would serve children enrolled in the Share America Program in six elementary schools. In addition to the services provided by the clinic, Share America will continue to utilize the mobile dental equipment to provide annual screenings and the sealant program in the six schools. The clinic would enhance the preventive oral health services currently offered and provide comprehensive oral health services for children. While the current Share America students will be the initial source of clients, we would anticipate serving other at-risk income populations such as Head Start clients and students eligible for the school free and reduced lunch program within the six schools. OBJECTIVES: Increase the proportion of children who use the oral health system each year. Increase the proportion of low-income children and adolescents who receive preventive dental services each year. Our ultimate goal is to provide crucial preventive services to 100% of those children at-risk in these elementary schools. Reduce the prevalence of children and adolescents with untreated dental decay. Reduce the proportion of children and adolescents who have dental caries in their primary or permanent teeth. Explore the possibility of expanding school-based dental hubs to other schools. *Based on objectives for the Nation in Healthy People 2010. Program Management:  Dental services will be coordinated by UALR Share America in partnership with the Dental Health Action Team and Little Rock School District.  A Memorandum of Agreement between the Little Rock School District and the DHAT will outline programs and operations and renewed annually.  A Steering Committee made up of representatives from each partner organization, parents and key individuals from the community at large will oversee the program. Member organizations include: UAMS, Delta Dental Plan of Arkansas, Arkansas Dept. of Health, Arkansas Dept. of Human Services, Arkansas Dept. of Education, Cooperative Extension, UALR, LRSD, Arkansas State Dental Association, St. Vincent Health System, - 2 - .!J.,l :c\nr:: en ~ m en en -0 ~ -0 m ~ ~p re r-m \u0026gt;C :r::n en\u0026gt; ~g G) z Zc:, !!Jm m ~~ :c 0 0 r-\n,-~ )\u0026gt; :__, en :c (\") r- :c !!Jo n~ !\u0026gt;!! en m c\n,:,\nr::\u0026lt; eenn \u0026lt;m'\u0026gt; 5 en z )\u0026gt;\n.,, ?\u0026lt;\n:l tD -0 C: :c en ~% p\u0026gt;~ -z eenn .n m\n,:, ~s zC\"\u0026gt; cm a, en i5 08/01/03 Arkansas Minority Health Commission, Pulaski County United Way, Arkansas Children's Hospital, and Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.

Holmes, Interim Superintendent SUBJECT: Changes to Gate Prices at Athletic Events The Little Rock School District is proposing an increase in adult ticket prices for the upcoming 2003-04 athletic seasons. The increase is$ 1.00 over last year's price for adult tickets, with no increase in student ticket prices. All middle school events will be $3 for adults and $2 dollars for students. High school events will be $5 for adults and $3 for students. As a new feature this year, the LRSD proposes to offer a \"Super Pass\" that will enable the recipient to attend all middle and high school athletic events during the 2003-04 athletic seasons. One adult Super Pass will cost $85. One student Super Pass will cost $50. A family Super Pass can be purchased for $150, which will allow a family of up to five to attend all athletic events in the LRSD. Employee family passes can still be purchased for $10, which enables the immediate family members of a LRSD employee to attend all athletic events. Passes will be available for purchase at the Administration Business Office and the Athletic Department located in the former Garland School building. It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve the 2003-04 athletic gate prices as submitted. 810 W Markham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  www.lrsd.k12.ar.us 501-324-2000  fax: 501-324-2032 \u0026gt; .~,, ::c: 3: \"' ~ m \"\"'' \"0 ~ \"0 m ~ -\u0026lt;\n,, ?\u0026lt; iri a, \"0 C: :CCI\u0026gt; ~z P' rn -\"' Zcn r\u0026gt; ~ ~~ zC\"\u0026gt; cm a,\"' i5 lvfi1 MW\ntrm~ f\\J.

JUL 2 4 ::03 This letter will follow up Monday's conversation regarding the District's upcoming refunding bond sale. During our conversation we discussed the ability of Stephens Inc. to bid on this issue. Since this is a relatively new process, I wanted to explain the situation in detail. Since January, our firm has been concerned about the significant supply of Arkansas school bonds that will be offered for sale during 2003. We have made efforts to increase the salability of bonds by asking for input from firms that frequently bid these issues. As well, Stephens is attempting to increase marketability by dropping the conversion requirements on essentially all of these upcoming bond issues. Earlier this year, I met with the Arkansas Department of Education and Arkansas State Securities Department regarding the ability of Stephens Inc. to bid on school bond issues where we currently serve as fiscal agent. On April 25, 2003, the Securities Commissioner issued an order permitting Stephens to submit bids on Arkansas school bonds where the firm also serves as fiscal agent. Our ability to submit a bid on issues of this type will expire on December 31, 2003. The process of a fiscal agent submitting a bid on a school bond issue is new to this state. It is, however, done in numerous states throughout the nation. At Stephens, we believe our ability to bid will improve competition and be beneficial for all Arkansas school districts. Let me offer a recent financing that confirms our thoughts on this matter. Earlier today, Stephens was the successful bidder on bonds sold by Dumas School District. We represent Dumas as fiscal agent and the School Board had previously authorized Stephens to bid on this issue. By accepting the low bid from Stephens, the District's interest cost was reduced by $8,110.15. The procedure used in bidding these bonds is an electronic process where neither the bidder or the fiscal agent has knowledge of the bids prior to the sale. Complete confidentiality 1s maintained, so that Stephens is not able to view bids prior to the scheduled opening. Investment Bankers www .Stephens.com 111 Center Street P.O . Box 3507 Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 501-374-4361 Fax 501-377-2666 Enclosed you will find a letter which the Board should consider at its next meeting. This letter is to acknowledge that Stephens may bid on the District's bond issue. I can tell you that it is our intention, with the District's consent, to submit a bid on your bonds. If the Board elects to allow Stephens to bid on the proposed refunding, please place the enclosed letter on the District's letterhead, have the President and Secretary sign, and return it in the envelope provided. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

By special request and circumstances we are beginning that process with Mitchell Elementary School and Rightsell Elementary School respectively. The bond projects at Mitchell and Rightsell Elementary Schools are relatively simple and entail classroom additions, restroom renovations, ADA adaptations, some landscape and sewer work, and some miscellaneous mechanical work, in addition to upgrading the buildings electrical capacity to sustain computer operations. In late 2002, we inspected both of these elementary schools. Environmental problems that we had been periodically correcting over a period of years, as they arose, seem to be getting more serious. As a result, we commissioned a study of both schools to determine what environmental projects might be necessary to make the schools a clean, habitable environment for their students, staff, and faculty. That study was completed at the end of calendar year 2002. In early 2003, we were able to detail the environmental scope and provide rough cost estimates for the price of these environmental upgrades. Most recently, we have hired an architectural firm, Morris and Associates, who are knowledgeable in both environmental and architectural work, to be our design firm on both of these schools. It is our intent to combine the bond projects that were approved under the millage bond vote, and the p ::c m ~ ::c C: ~z ::c m g i!=: rn !\"' .z.. m ::c~\nmg ,-\nc  ... C: C ~ 0 ::c u, :..n. Pl :z:c  -\u0026lt; C: ~ m environmental projects, which were a result of our study. Presently we are in the preliminary planning phases\nwe have met with the design architects and are beginning to detail the scientific scope of work. We will soon be meeting with the Campus Leadership Teams, principals, and staffs to receive their input regarding the bond projects. While a definitive schedule has not been established, it is our intent to do the design for these schools over the winter of 2003-2004, and hopefully have contracts advertised and ready for award in late spring 2004, so that we may begin work in the summer of that year for an estimated completion in the summer/fall of 2005. The environmental problems at both of these schools are primarily water and air quality related. We are capable of keeping up with any emergencies and can continue to provide a safe environment for the inhabitants of the school, however\nlong term solutions are deemed necessary at both of these fine old facilities. p\na m ~ :,: C: f\nz\na m l3 C: ~ m tJ\u0026gt; !\" ! m\na~\nmg ,.

Stewart, Interim Superintendent of Schools Screening interview procedures !.J,I, m ::0 z~ z p::! Human Resources Screening Interview Procedures July 2003 The Human Resources Department began the implementation of a revised teacher applicant screening process in the spring of 2003. The primary purpose for this process was to insure that Little Rock School District hires the best candidates for its teaching positions. Ways to accomplish this goal were to increase the applicant pool, to screen more candidates, and to involve more administrators in the process. The implementation of this process has several steps: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i) j) k) Involvement of School Services last fall in a discussion about the process and their assistance this spring in identifying principals for the elementary screening interview teams. Involvement of Curriculum and Instruction last fall in helping to develop the Interview Handbook printed in March 2003. Involvement of Curriculum and Instruction as curriculum leaders from that division chaired the interview teams for subject area candidates at the secondary level. Each team developed its own questions whether it was elementary, math, science, social studies, English, business, or special education. In the screening interview process itself, candidates are required to do an impromptu writing sample from one of the various prompts developed. There is a rubric with which each candidate is scored. (This rubric is a modification of a previous rubric utilized in HR\nthe domains of PT AS have been included.) Information obtained from the interview, the writing sample, references on file, and other information from the application packet are utilized in arriving at a recommendation for each candidate. Mr. Robinson also conducts interviews, especially when an interview team is unavailable or if an out of town candidate is only in town for a few days. HR provides recommended candidates' names, phone numbers, certification/ licensure areas, degrees earned from colleges/universities, and samples of their responses regarding the teaching domains of PTAS from the interview in the information to the principals. Principals also have access to the applications room in our division where they may review applications for teachers, aides, and clerical applicants. A weekly computerized list of all certified applications is available for them to review in this room as well. Principals continue their interviews, selection, and recommendation for hiring through their appropriate supervisor in school services and then through the human resources department which forwards the names of those recommended for employment to the Board of Directors. !J:)\na ~ ~ 0 i !!l 0 s\nz Rationales for adding the screening step to the hiring process are: a) To offer a larger pool of candidates to our principals. b) To become more proactive in the interview process thus beginning the process earlier. c) To have a structured process that increases equity among our candidates by affording more interview opportunities. d) To provide principals with a viable list of candidates. e) To minimize any errors regarding certification/licensure or employability in hiring since all candidates must complete the initial paper screening through HR prior to being interviewed. f) HR views this as a service to the principals. As with any new process we have already discovered some procedures which through principals' input, we will be \"tweaking\" for next year. We believe that these ideas will make the process even smoother and enhance all components of the process. Some of those ideas are to: a) b) c) d) e) f) Have interview teams conduct screening interviews at the District's Job Fair. (We are also investigating the possibility of on-line research based screening interviews.) Include in the information provided to principals the number of years of teaching experience for each candidate. Include in the information provided to principals the grade levels the applicant has either been employed to teach or grades he/she student taught. Include both race and gender on the information provided to principals. Include all recommended candidates on one list. Communicate to candidates their need to submit their applications earlier and call for a screening interview. !.J,I, m :,0 !S zz I!! SUBJECT/ M/M *RECOM.

S. Department of Education released a request for proposals for the Advanced Placement Incentive (API) Grant program. The purpose of the program is designed to increase the successful participation of low-income students in pre-advanced placement and advanced placement courses and tests. By supporting increased access to and participation in pre-advanced and advanced placement courses and tests, the program provides greater opportunities for low-income students to achieve to high standards in English, mathematics, science, and other core subjects. Two LRSD high schools, Hall and McClellan, were selected to participate in the API grant program based on their students' eligibility for free-or-reduced lunch (42% and 50% of their enrollments, respectively) and low rate of participation in Pre-AP and AP courses compared to other District high schools. The four highest-poverty (and low performing) LRSD middle schools (Cloverdale, Henderson, Mabelvale and Southwest) were also chosen to participate in the program. In 2002- 2003, 84% of Southwest students, 78% of Cloverdale, 68% of Mabelvale and 71% Henderson students were eligible for free or reduced lunch. The API proposal includes five broad goals that articulate the major \"systems improvements\" that will be brought about as a result of this initiative. The major goals include: Goal 1 - Leadership Development: To strengthen the abilities of school-based instructional leaders to provide support to classroom teachers in designing and delivering rigorous, high quality pre-AP and AP English, math and science classes. Goal 2 - Professional Development: To further develop the pedagogical skills and content knowledge of middle and high school teachers of Pre-AP and AP courses in English, math, and science achievement and performance. Goal 3 - Curriculum Development: To support the development and implementation of a Pre-AP and English language arts curriculum that prepares middle and high school students for success in English AP courses. Goal 4 - Student Support: To provide students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a full range of support services to increase their enrollment and success in PreAP and AP courses. 8 i \"\" E co\na m ~ !:\nu, .!.I,I z \u0026gt;z C, \u0026gt;.... u, Goal 5 - Parent Involvement: To enhance the awareness of middle and high school students' parents of the requirements of postsecondary education and the resources available to effectively plan for this goal. The professional development initiative will be supported by three lead teachers, (English, math, and science) who will work intensely with Pre-AP and AP teachers in the six target schools over the three-year period. Grant funds will be used to support teacher participation in both on-site and off-site training activities sponsored by The College Board, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock: Advanced Placement Teacher Development Center and AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination). The LRSD will collaborate with Metis Associates, Inc. on the implementation of a rigorous research and evaluation plan to assess the effectiveness of project activities and their impact on the target population of participating middle and high school students, teachers and parents. The grant was submitted on July 3, 2003 in order to meet the July 3, 2003 submission deadline. Fiscal Impact The total three-year award request is $1,989,216. The requested funds are primarily targeted for the implementation of the intensive ongoing professional development plan and to establish partnerships with outside organizations with the expertise needed to support program implementation. Local match is not required. Recommendation The staff requests approval for the submission of this grant. .!.I,' z z\u0026gt; 0 \u0026gt;,... \"' DATE: TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 July 24, 2003 Board of Education Dr. Don Stewart, Interim Superintenden~ Linda Austin, Director of Planning and Development~ Revised Strategic Plan The Little Rock School District Strategic Plan was originally adopted in 1996 and updated in 1998. On January 27-29, 2003, a 30 member Strategic Planning Team composed of parents, community members, teachers, students, Board members, and school administrators came together to review and update the plan. The team arrived at consensus in identifying common beliefs, creating a mission for the school system, setting parameters and developing objectives and far-reaching strategies for accomplishing the mission. For each of the strategies identified by the Planning Team, an Action Team was formed to develop plans for implementation. On June 19-20, 2003, the Strategic Planning Team reconvened to receive the Action Team's recommended implementation plans and prepare the 2003-2008 draft strategic plan for submission to the Board of Education. The draft Little Rock School District Strategic Plan is submitted under separate cover. It is recommended that the Board approve the 2003-2008 Little Rock Strategic Plan. .!.l,' z \u0026gt; l\"5 ~ \"'\n,,, nS :z\n= \"'en \u0026lt;\"\u0026gt;n :Z::z: og ,~... \"...'. 1c::: :m\n,a lH~ om m\"' ~ Date: To: From: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS July 24, 2003 Board of Education Donald M.

Stewart, Interim Superintendent Re: Proposal for Naming the Choral Music Department at Central High School I am attaching a proposal for naming the choral music department at Central High School as the Robert L. Brack Choral Music Department. Nancy Rousseau, principal of Central High School, completed the nomination process as requested by students and members of the Central High School community. This action would serve as a monument to the superior reputation of Mr. Brack and for his twenty-seven years of service to the Central High School Music Department. As required by District policy FF:Naming of Facilities, you will also find attached a copy of a letter of acceptance for this honor from Mr. Brack. The administration recommends approval of this proposal. ?\u0026lt; m I: ~  m m ::r:: !\n!! z Cl \"' NAMING AND RENAMING FACILITIES I propose that the Choral Music Department (Designation of building and/or location) 1500 South Park Little Rock, AR 72202 (Address) be named for Robert L. Brack I. Biographical Data: Mr. Brack was born on June 8, 1944. II. The Nominee's significant contribution is: Uhile at Central, Mr. Brack was none less than superior in all performances \u0026amp; in all aspects of his teaching career. He has left a lasting impression on hun reds of students and the faculty \u0026amp; staff at Central High School. Ill. I believe the facility should be named for this person because: We feel that the naming of the ehoral Department in Mr. Brack's honor would be both a monument to him and a motivation to all future singers to live up to the standards that Mr. Brack set for them. The current choral music students would like the department to be names, \"The Robert L. Brack Choral Music Department\". 5-28-03 (Signature) (Date) This form should be submitted by persons nominating names for new facilities to the LRSD Board of Education for consideration according to Board policy FF. ?'\u0026lt; m .i,i,: 5 m-\u0026lt; m ::,: ~\no z C\u0026gt; Cl) PROPOSAL TO HONOR MR.

While at Central, Mr. Brack has never received anything less than superior in all performances and in all aspects of his teaching career. He has left a lasting impression on hundreds of students, all of the faculty he has worked with, and the excellent tradition that Central High has and will always live up to. The current choral music students feel that having this department named, \"The Robert L. Brack Choral Music Department\" would be both a monument to him and a motivation to all future singers to live up to the reputation that Mr. Brack left behind in his twenty-seven years of service to the school. We, the 2002-2003 choral music students thank you for this consideration. This proposal is very important to us and to Central High.

Being named \"Teacher of the Year\" by the Central High School faculty this year was a tremendous honor. It is the greatest honor when students recognize a teacher for providing quality instruction that makes a difference in their lives. I am overwhelmed by a sense of pride and with much gratitude that my students and principal, Nancy Rousseau desire to have the Choral Music Department officially named in my honor. Of all honors, this one has to be the greatest. It is with much gratitude, humility, pride, and dignity that I give my approval for the Choral Music Department at Central High School to be named in my honor: \"The Robert L.

Stewart, Interim Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: Bill Goodman-!3b SUBJECT: June 2003 Construction Report, Bond Projects The summer always presents challenges to the District's construction program. There are construction events that must take place while most of our schools are without students, i.e. power and air-conditioning being off for extended periods of time, asbestos abatement, etc. But to my knowledge, we have never had to tear down and rebuild a new building and have it ready for students in August, which is the case at Mabelvale Middle School. The part of the building that houses the administration, media center and cafeteria has been taken down and is being rebuilt. The cafeteria, the largest of the three, is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in August. The other two areas are to be completed later this fall. Construction for the renovation of Dunbar Middle School has begun. The same is true for the following additions: Williams Elementary School, J. A. Fair High School, McClellan High School, and the addition and renovation of Pulaski Heights Middle and Elementary Schools. Construction has started for Phase II of the Technology Center and the renovation of Metropolitan. An architect has been hired for the renovation of Rightsell Elementary and Mitchell Elementary. These will be bid in 2004.

Kenneth James, Superintendent Bill Goodma~ May 2003 Construction Report, Bond Projects Total cost of projects that are under construction and financed through bonds is approximately $50,000,000. By comparison, last year at this time bond projects under construction totaled approximately $25,000,000. The present construction activity has reached a peak in terms of cost. In the future, this activity will slowly diminish as the construction projects in the District's schools are completed, particularly the larger schools. The trend is indicated by the number of completed projects that are shown in the May report. Bids on the addition and renovation of Dunbar Middle School were taken on May 9. The bids are being analyzed and the results will be known soon. The plan is to start construction in June and complete the project during the summer of 2004. Bids were taken on May 15 for the addition to McClellan High School. I am pleased to report that the low bid met our budget, and the letter of Notification of Award has been sent to the contractor. Construction will start within thirty (30) days. The following projects have been bid, contracts awarded, and construction has started: 1. New roof and an addition to J.A. Fair High School 2. Addition to Williams Elementary School and parking lot improvements 3. Computer Technology Center Phase II and miscellaneous upgrades to Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Center The classroom addition and new gymnasium for Hall High School is nearly complete. I hope you have an opportunity to tour these facilities. I think you will be pleased.

This report is intended to bring you up-to-date on the overall status of the bond and major maintenance programs within the District. The general plan that the Administration is following is outlined in two documents. The first, dated June 22, 2000, is a Board-submitted and approved document that covers the phase-in of capital projects. The project list indicates two general categories: additions and renovations, which are then divided into general construction phases. The intent of this phased delineation was to provide general parameters as to how schools could expect their projects to be addressed during the administration of the bond program. Project phases were determined by a committee consisting of administrative and support members as outlined in the June 22 document. Capital consideration was given to present and future academic needs, the need for addressing overcrowding at schools, and the need for beginning major capital projects because of the length of time required and their complexity. In addition to these parameters, the committee also discussed ways to administer the bond program in order for all schools to immediately see the results of the support of their school and parents for the millage program. An update based solely on these phases is included in the report. The second document is a \"talking-paper\" that was presented to the committee in July of the same year outlining the general parameters of how the bond program should be administered. It goes on to explain, in addition to addressing the projects and the phases as outlined in the June 2000 letter, that we would attempt to phase the common-in-nature projects into multiple schools. These, although addressed separately by specific design and engineering firms, would be ongoing in conjunction with the general, major renovations listed in our phased report to the Board. To date we have adhered to the general parameters of the June 22 letter and the \"talking-paper\" of July 14. This has allowed us, as of the writing of this report, to have completed, have under construction, or have in design 313 of the 551 projects that were identified on the capital-bond list presented to the public in 2000. The most significant of the projects that have been completed or are planned for the immediate future can be found in the monthly bond report under Bond Construction Reports. The execution of the dedicated millage-program is slightly more complicated as the project-list is ever changing. As the Little Rock School District's projected projects surface based on their urgency, we are constantly adjusting the list and programming each year for what we feel can be accomplished. Our in-house workforce, while continuing to maintain the daily maintenance requirements as reported by our schools, is completing most of the minor dedicated-millage projects. The larger dedicated-millage projects, those requinng extensive design and accomplishment by contractors, are programmed under urgency-basis. We are continuing to expend some monies accomplishing minor landscaping projects and miscellaneous emergency asbestos abatements as necessary. We are also extending our dedicated millage-program-list into roofing, asbestos removal, and environmental design projects. Lastly, we are attempting to do dedicated millage projects in conjunction with bond projects at schools that will be under construction during the 2003 and 2004 school year. Included in this report is the planned program of major contracts in 2003 and 2004 that will be funded by dedicated millage. Our total expenditures for dedicated millage are expected to reach approximately $2,000,000 each year. The projects planned or scheduled for 2003 and 2004 that do not begin on time or extend beyond this timeframe will be rolled into the following year. It is possible for higher priority projects to supplant those on this list should emergencies develop with regard to heating and mechanical failures, roofing or structural failures, or as the opportunity to perform dedicated millage work presents itself as the bond program continues.

Carnine, Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT:- Phasing of Capital Projects A committee consisting of Victor Anderson, Wayne Adams, Junious Babbs, Doug Eaton, Brady Gadberry, Mark Milhollen, Sadie Mitchell, Lucy Neal, John Ruffins, and Don Stewart met to develop the phasing of the capital projects. A second committee consisting of Victor Anderson, Doug Eaton, Wayne Adams, Darral Paradis, and Don Stewart met to make the initial assignments of architects and engineering firms to projects. The phasing of the projects was done by category of projects. It was determined that_ design work would be grouped into several categories to include: building additions, asbestos removal, renovation projects with additions, renovation projects without additions, f,DA contracts, mechanical contracts, electrical contracts, security/ alarm upgrades, roofing contracts, paving contracts, athletic field renovations, and new school consrruction. Architectural firms will be selected to complete design work on the individual projects within the categories.

C: Don Stewart Mark Milhollen Sadie Mitchell Doug Eaton Darral Paradis 3 CAPTIAL PROJECTS TALKING PAPER July 14 2000 This report will comprise of general notes regarding Facility Services ideas on the implementation of the capital projects program. We propose to begin by awarding approximately 30-35 architectural/engineer contracts, both by subject matter and by individual projects so as to ensure a steady flow of contracts for construction. Architectural/engineer subject matters will be: ADA, asbestos, fire alarms, additions, civil, mechanical, recreational, structural, pavement, interior, and landscaping projects. All of the architectural/engineer contracts would cross the line between capital projects and dedicated millage. Funding for these architectural/engineer projects would primarily be capital monies\nyet, some would be funded with dedicated millage funds. The purpose of this report is to get a head start on the scope of work and designs, which is our major initiative during the first year of the bond issue. During this period of time, we will clarify the scope of work and begin preliminary designs once Architect/Engineer firms have been selected. As the projects progress and we are able to more clearly define the construction estimates, we will have a better idea of the remaining funds needed to carry out the projects and the time frame necessary. Architect/Engineer's will be detailed to look at projects covering a two to three year time span. FUNDING This will necessitate that funding be compiled for a three to four year period with the majority of the funds spent during the late half of the second, third and fourth years. This will be necessary because of the long lead-time that is needed to develop scopes of work and planning. It is perceived that 4.5 to 4.8 percent of the entire project list will be dedicated to Architectural/Engineer spending. If we identify forty million dollars in projects, we can expect to spend about 4.5 to 4.8 percent of that amount during the first year with the remaining expenditures arising from short term projects, which can be developed at a quicker pace. Many of the projects in the lower spectrum of the list above will be projects that can be more readily adapted because they can go to specialized Architect/Engineer firms. These projects have shorter design and construction times and would show a positive image to the public that we are implementing projects as quickly as possible. Initially, funding for these projects may have to be funded from the sale of bonds and later reimbursed through dedicated millage retrievals. ?' \"C m Al ~ z z m r- !T' .z.... m Al z \u0026gt; r- \u0026gt; C: 0 ::\nC\n\u0026lt;: Page Two, Continued Capital Projects GENERAL COMMENTS The basis for lumping contracts together is to offset the need to hire more people than necessary. It is anticipated that approximately 34 employees must be hired for the projects to support spending of the money derived from the dedicated millage\nthese employees will be at Facility Services, Procurement and Athletics. By lumping projects together, and writing contracts in such a manner that Architect/Engineer firms will provide some limited construction management experience, we can possibly derive complete control of the project for the anticipated six percent (6%) (plus reimbursable expense) of the overall project. This will give greater latitude in the authority of the Architect/Engineer's management of the projects in that one decision could be used across the board at numerous locations. Once the Little Rock School District derives a general scope that will apply to all schools, only minor decisions will need to be made to \"tweek\" the system. Contracts could be let crossing the number of schools and work could begin as soon as the first schools are under design. This will also allow us to spread the workload over small, medium and larger contractors. The same is true for such projects as fire alarms and other minor additions as they come aboard. Administrative Requirements Attached is an updated list of personnel that we feel is necessary to implement this program. There is a small deviation from the original list compiled. We are beginning to look at administrative requirements and we are in the process of reviewing computerized construction management software. The purpose of these programs will be to have multiple input in contract folders and more quickly document projects so as to allow the most current information available for reports and other information required. CONSTRUCTION VARIABLES The greatest construction variable will be the availability of contractors as the projects are developed. Certain projects are obviously going to attract large contractors where other projects may attract smaller firms. If we are smart in our packaging of these contracts, by pulling them together with similar items across individual school boundaries, we will have the flexibility of tailoring the projects Page Three, Continued Capital Projects based on the availability of contractors in the market. At the present time, the general outlook for large construction firms reveal that we are going into a moderate to heavy construction period. We are coming out of a rather heavy construction period and, hopefully, will catch these firms at a low point in their scheduling. Small construction companies will continue to be a problem, but it is hopeful that through specific solicitations, with an emphasis on minority and small business owners, we can attract new contractors to assist us in constructing our projects. SUMMARY The intent of this document is to present general possible areas for discussion. Definitive plans with regard to priorities, influx of funds and time schedule, and exact responsibilities have not been delineated. However, great thought has gone behind the general schemes listed here as to possible project implementation.

The development and approval of the LRSD Technology Plan 2001-2004 was a direct result of those consultant services. In the spring of 2001 the District again entered into a contract with EDS for a wide range of services that included project management (WAN, phone system, cabling, magnet media retrieval systems, E-rate assistance) and engineering services (e-mail conversion, network systems integration, help desk configuration and network training). That contract expires June 30, 2003. Projects completed under the EDS contract are WAN, phone system, cabling, magnet media retrieval systems, annual E-rate applications, e-mail conversion and help desk configuration. Network training materials will be on the web by May 15 and all sites will be cut over to the new network by June 15. At this time it is clear that District staff will continue to need a reduced level of support from EDS. The new network is complex and requires a high degree of technical skill to maintain and support. Because of the speed and intensity of technology projects over the last two years, District staff is not yet prepared to step in and assume total responsibility for the network. A gradual weaning from the expertise of the EDS engineers will take place over the next year as the LRSD technical staff grows in skill level. Other projects that continue to require assistance are E-rate applications, media retrieval system installations, and the technical specifications for the new technology center. EDS has been instrumental in our getting E-rate funding of $2.2 million in 2001-2002 with applications pending for 2002-2003 ($2.4 million) and 2003-2004 ($3.1 million). We are now in Program Review with our E-rate applications, requiring extensive documentation efforts. Having the expertise of . EDS as we go through the next year will be critical for successful implementation of these projects. Fiscal Impact: The amount of the EDS contract for a one year extension will be $252,000. Dedicated millage technology funds of approximately $2,000,000 are available each year for continuing technology support. The expense of the EDS contract extension would come from that fund. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve an extension of the technology support contract with EDS until June 30, 2004. Scope of Work-Project Management and Server Infrastructure Management July 1, 2003-June 30, 2004 EDS will work with LRSD personnel to support the LRSD network systems and to assist in the implementation of the Little Rock School District Technology Plan, 2003-2006 and integrate this plan into the District's Strategic Plan. Implementation of the District's Technology Plan will include the following tasks.  Project management for all components of the District's Technology Plan Implementation  Network systems maintenance support  Help Desk hardware and software maintenance support  Help Desk policies and procedures development  Remote management support In addition, EDS team members will continue to:  Participate in Technology Committee meetings  Assist in developing an evaluation process that will enable the District to monitor progress toward technology goals  Research specific District recommended software applications suitable for instructional applications delivered in a variety of ways  Conduct research in order to identify alternative funding resources  Assist LRSD in developing other corporate partnerships  Prepare public relations materials in order to communicate status to stakeholders EDS will establish objectives, standards, and procedures for the project team to help the District meet their goals. An integrated plan will define the activities to be performed, resources required for accomplishing the tasks, and assignment of responsibility and accountability. Scope of work provided by EDS for Little Rock School District will include the following components. Little Rock School District Server Infrastructure Management Software  Research specific District recommended software applications suitable for instructional applications delivered in a variety of ways EDS Tasks/Deliverables   Review software applications currently in use  Research software applications/alternatives (cost, functionality, etc.)  EDS will provide a summary analysis of instructional applications researched for installation on the District's Enterprise Network Server Infrastructure Management EDS Tasks/Deliverables  Provide Active Directory (AD) Maintenance and Support  Provide 2\"d level desktop support to the District's support personnel  Perform on-site routine maintenance of servers at the Technology Center  Monitor Technology Center network servers' performance  Update as needed the Site Administration Manual (SAM) for the Technology Center servers  Document network performance and develop a benchmark  Instruct District technology support staff on the LRSD network and maintenance procedures  EDS will continue to assemble and load the operating system for new servers.

DATE: TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE: Background LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 May 22, 2003 Board of Education Dr. T. Kenneth James, Superintendent Linda Austin, Director of Planning and Development Lucy Neal, Director of Instructional Technology/Library Media Grant Proposal - Enhancing Education Through Technology Grant The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) released the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) grant competition for proposals. The EETT competitive grants are made available through the U.S. Department of Education's No Child Left Behind legislation for the purpose of improving student academic achievement through the effective integration of technology. The goals of EETT are to: 1) improve student achievement through the use of technology\n2) assist every student to become technologically literate by the end of the eighth grade\nand 3) encourage the effective integration of technology. The District partnered with the North Little Rock School District and the Pulaski County Special School District to prepare and submit the Tri-District Technology Training for Teachers (T4) proposal. The three districts will collaborate on an innovative professional development project that will assist teachers in developing skills of integrating technology into the curriculum. The T4 Project includes a three-pronged approach to professional development: 1) facilitator-led technology seminars, 2) webbased technology training opportunities, and 3) the UALR Cyber Teacher program. Emphasis of all training sessions will be on integration of technology into the curriculum, not on learning to merely operate the software. All activities extend and enrich the technology plans of the three districts. If funded, Lucy Neal will serve as the T4 project director. The grant was submitted on May 5, 2003 in order to meet the May 5, 2003 submission deadline. Fiscal Impact The total one-year award request was $506,552.65. The LRSD will serve as the lead agency for grant management and fiscal responsibilities. The requested funds will be used to provide the following: 1) tri-district professional development activities\n2) purchased professional development and technical services to support professional development activities\n3) provide UALR tuition and laptops for 25 Cyber teachers to be selected from all three districts\nand 4) a computer lab for both Woodruff and Dodd Elementary schools. Local match is not required. Recommendation The staff requests approval for the submission of this grant. ~~ r-\n:a CD m ~ [S ::c r.-,\u0026lt;, -c\u0026lt;::\n:a c5 ~oz- ~~ p 0 0z ~ 5z en FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE CENTER 3001 South Pulaski  Little Rock, A R 72206  Phone (501) 447-3343  Fax (501) 447-7612 May 22, 2003 TO: ~ ~ Board of Directors FR~anny Fletcher, Director, Arts Department THROUGH: T.

The policy was then presented to all of the elementary principals, during a principals' meeting, for their review and input. A needs assessment is provided so that the Board can understand why a policy is needed. (The needs assessment will not be printed in the Student Handbook). NEEDS ASSESSMENT The elementary principals are concerned about the excessive amount of student tardies and early check-outs that most of them are experiencing in their schools. They explained that some parents are bringing students to school late, in excess of 20 times in one nineweeks and some as late as 12:00 noon. In addition, some parents are checking students out prior to the end of the school day because they do not want to be in line with the cars and buses at the end of the school day. The principals expressed that students are missing an extreme amount of instructional time\nbut they (the principals) are held accountable for students' academic achievement. Elementary schools have a 5 and 1/2 hour instructional day with a 2 and 1/2 hour uninterrupted literacy block which generally occurs during the morning school hours. Most tardies occur in the morning\ntherefore, students are missing the entire literacy block. Since the federal government has mandated NCLB legislation, it is imperative that students are at school and participate in the literacy block ELEMENT ARY TARDY AND EARLY CHECK-OUT POLICY DEFINITION A student receives a tardy when he/she fails to be in the classroom or other assigned location by the time the tardy bell stops ringing. A student receives an early checkout when he/she exits school prior to the end of the school day (when the last bell has rung). CONDITIONS 1. There are generally no excused tardies or early student check-outs. However, an exception will be made if the student is delayed or checked out early due to official school business, illnesses or medical appointments (documentation is required on the day the child returns to school) or for other reasons approved by the building administrator, such as an accident or other emergency. 2. Generally, school/class tardiness or early check-outs will not affect a student's citizenship grade. In those cases, however, when the persistent efforts of school personnel fail to eliminate tardiness or early check-out, or if 5 ~~ r-:,, Cllm ~~ :,:,...,.,. C...:.\n,, i5 .o,,z_ !..:.:.l ~,... -\u0026lt; rn f\u0026gt; C 0 z ~ 0z en the student refuses to accept an assigned sanction, the citizenship grade may be lowered by a building administrator. 3. The Tardy and Early Check-out Policy becomes effective one week after the opening of the school year to allow students time to learn the school. 4. Tardies and early check-outs will accumulate on a semester basis. PROCEDURE 1. On the first unexcused tardy or unexcused early check-out, the teacher/administrator will record the tardy or early check-out, document the amount of time missed and warn the student. Parent/guardian notification is required. 2. On the second unexcused tardy or unexcused early check-out, the teacher will record the tardy, document the amount of time missed and warn the student. Parent/guardian notification is required. 3. On the third unexcused tardy or unexcused early check-out, the teacher will document the amount of time missed and the student will be sent home for a required parent conference. NOTE: The conference may be held via telephone. 4. On the forth and fifth unexcused tardy or unexcused early check-out, the building administrator will contact the parent and may elect one of the following procedures, based on the conditions existing in his/her school. A disciplinary sanction will be assigned from the following alternatives: a. Early morning, after school, lunch, or recess detention hall b. In-school time out, or in-school suspension 5. On the sixth and seventh unexcused tardy or unexcused early check-out, the student will receive a two-day short-term suspension. 6. On the eighth and ninth unexcused tardy or unexcused early check-out, the student will receive a five-day, short-term suspension, which may be served in an elementary ALE, if space is available. The parent must provide transportation to the ALE. If the student is tardy while he/she is assigned to an Elementary ALE, another day is added to the ALE assignment. No student will remain in an Elementary ALE for tardies or excused early check-outs more than ten days. 7. If the student continues to be unexcused tardy and/or is checked out early from school unexcused, whether in an elementary ALE or his/her regular school, the student will be recommended to be long-term suspended and assigned to an ALE for a minimum of 20 days. 8. A student who continues to accumulate excessive (10 or more times) tardies and/or early check-outs will be reported to the appropriate agency. 6 The following information is being recommended for review and adoption by the Director of Pupil Services, Coordinator of Health Services, Drug Free Schools Coordinator, school nurses, and a parent. ADMINISTERING MEDICATIONS TO STUDENTS Schools are responsible for providing students the opportunity to take prescription and non..:prescription medications that have been provided by the parent/guardian. Written permission from the parent/guardian must be received before the medication may be administered by school personnel. Narcotic pain medication will not be administered at school. Students who have recently had surgery or a medical procedure and need prescribed pain medication should not attend school. The LRSD Health Services Department is responsible for providing procedures for the safe administration of medications and will provide training for non-nursing personnel on appropriate methods of administering medications. In case of an anaphylactic reaction, or the risk of such a reaction, or severe asthma attack, a school nurse or trained designated staff may administer emergency oral, injectable or inhalation medication to any student in need thereof on the school grounds, in the school building, or at a school function according to the Standing Orders of the school physician or the student's primary care physician. Medication Containers All medication brought to school must be in the original container. Prescription drugs will be in the original bottle with proper label indicating student's name, administration time and dosage. Non-prescription drugs will be in the original container with the original label which will indicate reason for use. Medication is not to be sent in any other container or wrapper (e.g. Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, lunch box, etc.). Parents will be notified if medication has been sent in an inappropriate container. Pharmacists can be encouraged to provide the medication in two appropriately labeled bottles so one can be left at school. Medication Transit Between Home and School Parents of students in elementary and middle school who take prescription medication are responsible for bringing the medication to school. Elementary and Middle school students are not to transport their own prescription medication. Parents are responsible for picking up any unused medication. (The only exception to this is asthma inhalers, Epi-Pens, and antibiotics, which may be carried to and from school by the student.) Permission and Accountability of Medication Parents will provide a written permission slip for any medication that is to be administered by school personnel. When the parent brings the medication to school, the number of pills will be counted, ( or the amount of liquid measured). This counting will be done by the 7 p C 0 z ~ 5z u, parent and a school district employee. The name of the medication, dosage, and amount will be recorded on the BSS (Medication Permission Slip). This information will be dated and signed by the parent and school employee. The amount of medication brought by the parent should not exceed the amount needed for one month. Middle School Students Middle school students may carry their own non-prescription medications and certain prescription medications that have been approved by the school nurse. These medications will be limited to one (1) full day's supply and must be in the original container. All other prescription medications must be kept in the health room or office under lock. Middle school students may carry their inhalers. They are encouraged to report any use of inhalers to the school nurse. Nurses will verify any medication at the request of the school administrators. Senior High Students Senior high students may carry their prescription and non-prescription medication, limited to one (1) full days supply. Routine verification by the school nurse is not required but nurses will verify any medication at the request of school administrators. Student Responsibility It is expected that Senior High and Middle School students will be responsible and report to the school nurse's office to take their medication at the appropriate time. STUDENTS ARE NEVER TO GIVE OR RECEIVE MEDICATION FROM OTHER STUDENTS. 8 Pursuant to the requirements of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation the following information is to be provided to parents: TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS At the beginning of each school year, the District will notify parents/guardians that they may request information regarding the professional qualifications of students' classroom teachers. Parents/guardians may be given timely notice that the students have been assigned,.or have been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by teachers who are not fully certified. SAFE AND UNSAFE SCHOOLS Safe Schools Safe schools are those where students, staff members and visitors feel safe and welcome and have the opportunity to learn, teach, work, and engage in activities without being threatened, intimidated, bullied, harassed, or made the victim of crime. Such schools provide an environment in which students are challenged academically, respected and supported socially and emotionally by peers and staff, held accountable for their actions, and able to work without fear. Perhaps, most importantly, a safe school is one where students are connected and feel a part of the school. This broad definition of a safe school extends the concept of safety beyond the realm of physical well-being to include the related areas of social climate and order. Unsafe Schools For the purpose of NCLB, the definition of a persistently dangerous public school implies a pattern of unsafe behaviors as demonstrated over time, not just a single event. The committee recommended a period of two consecutive years, during which the following are evidenced, establishes the condition of \"persistently unsafe.\" A school would be considered persistently dangerous if the following conditions are observed: 1. For each year during the past two consecutive years, the school has had a federal or state gun-free school violation as allowed by the USC and/or Arkansas Criminal Code Annotated, or at least one violent criminal offense has been committed on school property (Violent criminal offense means homicide, rape, robbery and/or aggravated assault), and 2. For each year during the past two consecutive years, the school has experienced expulsions for drugs, alcohol, weapons or violence that exceeds 3% of the total school population as reported on October 1st of each year. A parent/guardian of a student, who is attending an unsafe school, may transfer to another school that has been determined to be safe, under the above guidelines. All such request should be directed to the LRSD Student Registration Office (447-2950). 9 ~~ r- :,0 a,m ~ lS :J: r.... C: -0 .... :,0 c5 Oz -o- ~~ ~~ f) 0 0 z ~ 6z u, != T 2 )\u0026gt; .z..

Authorized Use of Computer Networks Regulations I. Purpose To establish regulations for the appropriate use of the District computer network by students. II. Definitions Chat room: A variation of the interactive messaging board, a chat room is a web site for live, online conversation in which any number of computer users can type messages to each other and communicate IRT (In Real Time). These messages usually appear on an area of the screen next to the user's nickname or handle. Most chat rooms have a particular topic (which you are expected to discuss), but some chat rooms are purely for meeting other people. Other chat rooms are designed as elaborate 3-D environments, where you select an avatar that represents you in this virtual meeting place. Instant Messaging: (IM) - A technology that gives users the ability to identify people online and to exchange messages with them in real time. Referred to by many as the \"coolest way to communicate online since e-mail,\" it typically works like this: The instant messaging system alerts you whenever somebody on your \"buddy list\" is online and trying to contact you via your computer. That person can then initiate a chat session with you and both parties can type text messages back and forth. Hate site: A hate site is defined as, \"an organization or individual that advocates violence against or unreasonable hostility toward those persons or organizations identified by their race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender or disability. A hate site also includes organizations or individuals that disseminate historically inaccurate information with regards to these persons or organizations for the purpose of vilification.\" E-mail: The process by which messages are sent electronically across computer networks. Flaming: To send an e-mail message that is abusive or that offends. Typing in all capital letters is considered shouting and may be offensive. Internet: A network of computer networks. Networks in the Internet are connected so that they can communicate with others regardless of their manufacture. Spamming: To send an annoying or unnecessary message to a large number of people. An example might be a chain letter asking a user to forward the message to x number or people. 11 ~~ r-\n:c ID m ~ [S :::c r...

The audit was prepared by Thomas and Thomas, Certified Public Accountants and has been reviewed internally by the Financial Services Department. In June of 1999 the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments. The purpose of this new financial reporting model is to provide more understandable and useful financial reports to a wider range of users than the previous model\nhowever, the GASB34 format created a whole new and different way ofreporting than has been used in the past. Because of the new method of preparing financial statements and the complications involved with the reporting transition, it is our desire to extend the auditing services of Thomas and Thomas for another auditing cycle. A more detailed description of the audit can be found in the Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 3-10 of the audit report. Mr. Don Smith, the managing partner of the Little Rock office of Thomas and Thomas, will make a presentation and answer questions at the Board Agenda meeting. 810 W Markham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  www.lrsd.k12.ar.us c\nn1-~?4_ ?nnn  fax: 'i01-124-2032 !JI m ~ 0 -n (\") ~ f) 0 0 z ::c emn ~ 6z en ------------- Fiscal Impact: The fee for the annual audit will not exceed $53,000 which includes a 3% increase over the previous year.

Since your first reading of Track I in April 2002, the committee has developed two additional phases of this appraisal system. In April, you were introduced to Track I, which outlined the evaluation expectations and requirements for all probationary teachers. This document now includes Track II, which describes the evaluation experience for all tenured teachers of the district. In addition, this document outlines a new phase called Track III, which will offer support to any teacher who has difficulty meeting the expectations and teaching standards of this district. During this entire process, the PTAS Committee involved\nThis project was supported in part by a Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives project grant from The Andrew W.

The Public Education Foundation of Little Rock is a unique non-profit organization dedicated to enriching and improving student achievement in the Little Rock Public School District. On Wednesday, April 2, 2003, the Public Education Foundation of Little Rock will provide 32 grants, totaling $95,000, involving over 71 teachers and reaching 24 schools within the Little Rock School District. In SWEEPSTAKES award style\nthe Public Education Foundation Board of Directors, Public Education Foundation Donors, Little Rock City Board Members, Little Rock School Board Members, along with community volunteers\nwill surprise teachers in the Little Rock School District by presenting them with grant awards. Each grant funded must target student achievement, parent involvement or teacher quality programs. \"We think surprising the teachers is a great way to announce grants and celebrate the success of the Foundation at the same time. The Public Education Foundation provides an avenue of giving and a way to help public schools that did not exist in Little Rock before. These grants represent creative, instructionally focused ideas that would not have been possible before. And because of families, community organizations and corporations like Entergy Arkansas, Fifty for the Future, the Winthrop Rockefeller Family, Riggs Family Trust, CDI Constriction, Inc., Education America, and Metropolitan Bank we are able to make a direct impact in these schools,\" said Vicki Saviers, Executive Director of the Public Education Foundation.

Kenneth James, Superintendent of Schools To Consider Moving to a Varsity and Junior Varsity Athletic Program Background Information: Earlier this year, Mr. Johnny Johnson brought forth a recommendation to move to a Varsity/Junior Varsity athletic program in the LRSD. The rationale for this request is the number of actual participants at the 9th grade level. I have attached a report indicating the level of recent 9th grade ~articipation in football, volleyball, basketball, and track. The report reflects that 9 h grade participation has fluctuated from year to year and campus to campus. During this past season, only one high school (Central) was able to field three teams. Representatives from the Arkansas Activities Association have indicated that it would not be a problem for the LRSD to implement the Varsity/Junior Varsity approach. In this format, coaches would still have the option to schedule sophomore games if they have sufficient players to do so. The ninth grade student-athletes would also be able to play in the sophomore games. All Varsity coaches and secondary principals overwhelmingly support the proposal as submitted. Fiscal Impact: There will be minimal financial savings as a result of moving to this concept. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve the request to move to a Varsity/Junior Varsity concept for the 2003-2004 school year. ,i!.:.S. \u0026gt;\u0026lt; \u0026gt;,...

To: From: Re: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT II\\ ATHLETIC DIRECTOR-SECONDARY SCHOOLS ii\\ February 12, 2003 Dr. Ken James, Superintendent ofLRSD Johnny Johnson, Director of Athletics Ninth Grade Athletic Proposal The information below shows the number of ninth grade students participating in the sports of football, volleyball, basketball, and track for the school years of 2001-02 and 2002-03. These numbers can be a bit misleading because they are the numbers of students that began the season and not the numbers of students that finished the season. One fact that is not misleading is the number of ninth grade girls participating in sports. This is one major reason why I believe going to a varsity-junior varsity program will benefit our athletic program. 2001-02 9th Grade Participation Football Volleyball Basketball (Bs) Basketball (Gs) Track (Bs) Track (Gs) Fair 38 5 11 15 1 2 Central 47 13 21 15 0 1 Parkview 20 8 17 9 5 6 McClellan 32 0 13 3 12 0 Hall 31 4 16 4 (NIA) 12 2002-03 9th Grade Participation Football Volleyball Basketball (Bs) Basketball (Gs) Track (Bs) Track (Gs) Fair 31 6 18 18 Central 46 13 18 19 Parkview 24 5 16 8 McClellan 25 3 12 4 Hall 22 5 15 9 The number of ninth graders fluctuates from year to year. Parkview could not play a ninth grade football schedule in 2001. Hall could not play a ninth grade schedule this past year. In both cases, the main reason was not enough players. Both schools could have played a junior varsity schedule if they would have been allowed to move their ninth graders up to junior varsity. Attrition plays a major role in this proposal. In 2001 , Central had a large class ofninth graders, but could not field a junior varsity team because of lack of sophomores and juniors. The past year, Central had only eight seniors on the football team. With a varsity-junior varsity program, 3615 West 25th Street*Little Rock, AR 72204*(501 )447-2060 there will not be a school that would not be able to field two quality teams. This past football season, Central was the only school to be able to field three teams. The AAA has said that they do not have a problem with the LRSD not designating ninth grade athletics for the AAAAA high schools. I really believe this proposal will strengthen our athletic program, especially for women's athletics. One final point to bring up is that coaches would still have the option to schedule sophomore games if they had a large group of athletes. The ninth graders would be able to play in the sophomore games. I hope you will continue to look closely at this proposal. I really believe it will benefit our coaches and athletes. Attached is a copy of Parkview's 9th grade participation for the last three years. ~ :- \u0026gt;\u0026lt; \u0026gt; :-- 0 :c :s ! \u0026lt;=\n:o\nJIJzz\ni:Q .zm.. . \u0026lt;n * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  fllrkview Athletics 2501 Barrow Road Little Rock, AR 72204 501-447-2300  Fax 501-447-2301 PATRIOTS PATRIOTS PATRIOTS PATRIOTS PATRIOTS PATRIOTS PATRIOTS PATRIOTS The following are the number of athletes who participated in Parkview football for the last 3 years at the beginning of the school year.
