Milhollen, Manager \\~ Financial Services Roy G. Brooks, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools Bill Goodman, District Engineer~ September 2004 Construction Report-Bond Projects The new media center serving both Pulaski Heights Middle and Elementary Schools and the new media center at Dunbar Magnet Middle have been completed and are being used by the staff and students even though the shelving for the books has not been installed. I think you will agree with me that the exterior appearance at both locations is much better as well. I have had several patrons call me to tell me this. The latter phases of renovation of Central High are well under way. The project will be completed the summer of 2005. The project has gone very smoothly due to the good working relationship between the school staff, LRSD Facility Services personnel and the contractor. The reflecting pond at Central High School will be completed this month. The National Park Service will hold a dedication ceremony in the near future. Please call me at 447-1146 if you have any questions. 810 W Markham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  www.lrsd.kl2.ar.us 501-324-2000  fax: 501-324-2032 ' p 1ii :z:c 0  -\u0026lt; C: \"D ~ m fl! !I: z m~ en s -  o r- C: ill~ !20 oc: \u0026gt;~ ~~\noz -\u0026lt; en mz-\n\u0026lt;o\no C: enO -::co::! ~ Facility Name Administration Booker Brady Central Central Central Dodd Dunbar Henderson Mablevale Elem Parkview Pulaski Hgts.

Brooks, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent-Curriculum and Instruction LRSD-LRCTA Partnership Agreement-National Board Certification Program to assist schools on School Improvement Status I am happy to announce that the District and the Classroom Teachers Association are collaborating on an initiative to support two teachers from each of the schools on School Improvement Status to seek certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. National Board Certification measures a teacher's practice against high and rigorous research-based standards. The process is an extensive series of performance-based assessments that includes teaching portfolios, student work samples, videotapes and thorough analyses of the teacher's classroom teaching and student learning. In addition, teachers must successfully complete a series of written exercises that probe the depth of their subject-matter knowledge. As a result, National Board Certified Teachers have demonstrated that they know their content area, how to teach it, and how to reach all children. The District has 28 schools that are projected to be on School Improvement List for the 2004- 05 school term, although nine of those schools did meet standards last year and can be removed from that list if they again meet standards this year. The Partnership was formed to assist these 28 schools. The Partnership between the District and the Classroom Teachers Association has three goals directed at the schools on School Improvement Status: 1) To improve teacher quality 2) To strengthen the instructional leadership team 3) To improve student achievement in mathematics and literacy We think that this Partnership will be a strong step to assist the lowest performing schools. In addition, the collaboration with the Classroom Teachers Association is a statement that we are all in this together, that responsibility and accountability for student achievement belongs with all employees of the district and, indeed, our community as a whole. A copy of the Partnership Agreement is attached. We ask that you endorse the Partnership. -- LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT-LITTLE ROCK CLASSROOM TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION PROGRAM SUPPORT FOR LOW PERFORMING SCHOOLS Brief Description: The District is undertaking a joint initiative with the Classroom Teachers Association to assist two teachers in each of the schools on school improvement status to gain National Board Certification. The District recognizes that the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification process can improve teacher quality through intensive professional development. An expansive study funded by the U. S. Department of Education shows that students make greater gains when taught by National Board Certified Teachers. A large number of teachers have expressed preliminary interest in this program. Goals: 1. Teacher Quality: To improve teacher quality through participation in a rigorous professional development program that is centered on standards for teaching that represent a consensus among accomplished teachers and other education experts about what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. 2. Leadership Development: To strengthen the instructional leadership of key teachers in schools on School Improvement Status through service as a trainer of other teachers and parents. 3. Student Achievement: Process: To improve student achievement in math and literacy on the ACTAAP Exams in schools on School Improvement Status. All teachers meeting the NBPTS criteria at each of the schools on School Improvement Status will have an opportunity to apply for the program. Each teacher must complete a form provided by the district to indicate their interest in the program. The \"show of interest\" will require the teacher to respond to a writing prompt about why they want to engage in National Board Certification (limit 125-150 words). The partners will jointly conduct a lottery to select two teachers-one African-American or other minority and one Caucasian-from each school for participation in the program. Each applicant selected will receive a grant of $2300.00 to fund the cost of enrolling in the NBPTS program. If a school does not have two qualified applicants, the slots may be given to a school that is NOT on school improvement. The selected teachers must sign a contract with the LRSD agreeing to remain employed in the same school or another school that is currently on School Improvement Status in LRSD for three years after certification. (The removal of a school from School Improvement Status does not mean that a participating teacher must move to another school that is still on School Improvement Status.) Additionally, the teacher would serve on a professional development committee of the District as a trainer of other teachers and parents. The teacher would agree to offer 6 hours of professional development, consistent with state requirements under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (NCLB), once each semester. The participating teachers will be required to attend support group meetings offered by the District and/or Association during their year(s) of effort to certify and must agree to follow through on the process and offer at minimum two (2) three (3) hour workshops for teachers organized at the Association level per year. One such meeting could occur at the ABA Fall Convention. Other service options for those attempting to certify could include the following: a) Service on a LRSD/LRCT A Ad Hoc Committee appointed by Director of Staff Development or Little Rock School District b) Participation in a summer program ( 4 hours a week) involving at-risk children c) Offering of service as a supplemental provider under federal and state law to Children in their schools for 2 hours a week as a tutor Funding: The total cost of the program depends on how many schools are on Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 School Improvement Status. The District projects that 28 schools will be on school improvement for 2004-05. If each school enrolls two teachers in the NBPTS Program, the total cost would be $128,800. This District agrees to provide up to $94,300 for the program. The Association will assist with the remaining $34,500 by aiding teachers to secure funding from other sources, such as the federal candidate subsidy funding available through the Arkansas Department of Education, the National Education Association, or the Targeted High Needs Initiative (THINI) grant. Evaluation: The evaluation of the partnership will be based on:  the number of participating teachers who receive their National Board Certification from the 2004-05 list of schools on School Improvement Status\n the improvement in student achievement at each the schools on School Improvement Status that have teachers participating in the NBPTS Program\n the teacher and parent training provided by the participating teachers by number of hours of training provided and the evaluation of the training by those being trained. ---- ~\n,:,,\n,, ..,o m::c .\n.. o.,O,.o.. \u0026gt;~ men .... ~ -\u0026gt;om ~ en - Accepted for the Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association Mrs. Katherine Wright Knight, President Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association Accepted for the Little Rock School District Dr. Roy Brooks, Superintendent Little Rock School District Date Date DATE: TO: FROM: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 September 23, 2004 Board of Education Lucy Neal, Director Technology and Media Services THROUGH: Dr. Roy Brooks, Superintendent RE: Distance Learning Equipment Grant Background The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) released the Distance Learning Equipment (OLE) Grant competition for proposals.

After a long and intensive year of research, discussion, revising , and collaboration, we are happy to introduce to you this evaluation handbook that focuses on six standards in accordance to the Arkansas Department of Education Administrators Licensure Standards and the Educational Leadership Consortium Council Standards. We truly believe this document represents the best thinking, research , standards, and indicators for evaluating the performance of school administrators. Two changes were made to the principals' evaluation document since the agenda meeting on September 9. The document will reflect the following revisions (see attachments): 1) Insert the words \"clean and attractive\" in the expectation for school facilities, Standard 3, Indicator 3, page 29. 2) Insert an expectation that addresses student recruitment as a vehicle for increasing school/district enrollment and diversity in Standard 5, .

We have an obligation to provide a safe and secure learning environment and we therefore have an obligation to conduct constitutionally lawful searches when necessary and appropriate.

Accordingly, to the extent this policy does not conflict with state or federal law, any contraband discovered during an administrative search of a student will subject that student to appropriate Little Rock School District administrative sanctions but will not be reported to law enforcement authorities.

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 intra-district race-based student assignment policies and requires a change in the student assignment plan. On December 18, 2003, a student assignment plan was approved for one year (2004-05). It included a weighted random assignment process, utilizing the characteristics of race ( as a factor), achievement test performance and economic status (free-and-reduced lunch). The adopted 2004-05 Little Rock School District Student Assignment Plan recognizes attendance zone school precedence\nhowever, additional attention and focus were developed with the intent to provide both an educational choice option and maintain student diversity (to the extent practicable). Providing students and their families with school choice is a key component of the 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. fl C 0z ~ 0 z \"' ~ 0 5 \"z' C)\n:u m I The Board also appointed a school district-wide committee, whose charge was to:  Hold community-wide (LRSD) meetings to obtain additional parent, staff and community input.  Seek additional expert consultation and study.  Advise the Board regarding citizen's views and opinions pertaining to a longrange student assignment plan.  Observe and examine the 2004-05 student assignment process, the new applicant pool and resultant findings. Recommendation It is recommended that the Board of Education adopt the attached Student Assignment Committee recommendation. (Attachment) Final Report Little Rock School District Student Assignment Plan Committee Each member of the Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District appointed two individuals to serve on the Little Rock School District Student Assignment Plan Committee for Specialty Magnet Schools (Central, Fair, Hall, McClellan, Cloverdale Middle, Dunbar, Henderson, Mabelvale Middle, King, Rockefeller Early Childhood, Romine, Washington). The specific \"charge\" given the committee was to:  Observe and examine the 2004-05 student assignment process, new applicant pool and resultant findings\n Seek additional expert consultation and study\n Hold community-wide (LRSD) meetings to obtain additional parent, staff and community input\nand  Advise the LRSD Board of Directors regarding citizen's views and opinions pertaining to a long-range student assignment plan.

A brief background of the issue was presented followed by a two-part discussion. Participants were asked to share with the group their experiences with the current student assignment plan. Was it a positive experience and if so what worked best? If the experience was not positive, what did not work? The discussion then focused on the criteria of the current plan and whether or not changes needed to be made. A list of criteria being considered in other school districts was provided. A compilation of these comments can be found in the Community Forum Summary of this report. The Committee met at the conclusion of the community forums to consider the discussions and prepare a recommendation for the board members. That recommendation can be found in the Committee Recommendation section of this report. Community Forum Summa!)' Patron experience with the 2004-2005 plan was generally positive in regard to satisfaction with student placement. Individual instances of dissatisfaction occurred due to the inverse criteria at a particular school working to the detriment of an applicant. It was pointed out that the inverse criteria will vary from school to school and staff explained how those criteria are determined. Overall there was a positive expression of intent to keep both choice and diversity for the specialty magnets and that the current plan provides the best opportunity for both. During each forum there was discussion concerning the reason for the magnet programs. This discussion was generally followed by expressions that every school be desirable. If all neighborhood schools operated at a proficient level of excellence, parents would be more inclined to support their neighborhood school. One of the most impassioned topics of discussion was patron information, understanding and navigation of the placement system. This communication issue, along with several other topics, was not within the charge to the committee. These topics are covered in the Suggestions for Future Consideration part of this report. In each forum, criteria for placement were discussed along with additional attributes that could be considered. It was generally thought that the current system was as fair as possible. Committee Discussion The committee discussed using academic achievement as a direct basis instead of as an inverse basis and giving it heavier weight. It was not adopted and determined to be detrimental to less advantaged students. Incorporating any of the additional academic attributes [GPA, 35% percentile in math and literacy, top 20% of class, 30% (outside zone) by overall score rank order] would only further complicate an already complicated system. Citizenship criteria (attendance criteria, no more than X number of absences, or no more than X number of tardies) were also considered. The inclusion of any would also further complicate the system as well as work to the detriment of a specific group. Student Assignment Committee Report Page 3 English proficiency status, longevity within LRSD, gender and geographic diversity were discussed but not recommended for inclusion in any change. Committee Recommendation After considering the discussions of LRSD parents, staff and the community, the Committee recommends that the current 2004-2005 student assignment plan be retained with no changes at this time, with the exception of attendance zone students retaining priority and Rockefeller Early Childhood program. At Rockefeller, a numbered waiting list will be utilized for Rockefeller Early Childhood program as opposed to a weighted pool providing parents with more definite information on child care placement. Suggestions for Future Consideration ___ _ The recommendation of the Committee responds to the charge given in May of 2004. However, during the community forums and subsequent committee discussions, a pattern emerged regarding some issues related to student placement but which were outside the charge to the Committee. These are presented to the Board with the strongest encouragement for action from this Committee. These concerns and suggestions for consideration/action are: 1. In order to better attract and keep patrons in the District, the assignment process must be easy to navigate.  Make the system more user friendly  Improve communication channels regarding assignment policies  Add/improve sources of assistance when seeking information  Develop a brochure explaining the student assignment process and choice options 2. Study the purpose and effects of specialty magnet programs, including resource allocation and program assessment. 3. Continue to strengthen neighborhood schools. 4. Establish a system for tracking students who do not get their preferred placement. Determine if they remain in the District. 5. Since data and choice demands will vary each year, the Student Assignment process for Specialty Magnet Schools should be reviewed annually to report outcomes. f\u0026gt; 8 z !i iz5 \"' ?:S n 5 \"z' C)\na m I \"' ~n Individual Approach to a World ef Knowledge\" September 23, 2004 TO: Board of Directors FROM: ~ Mark D.

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 the 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. o 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 otherwise 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. otwithstanding 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 team 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 sports include boxing, wrestling, rugby, ice hockey, football, basketball and other sports the purpose or major activity of which involves bodily contact. (c) Equal opportunity. A recipient which operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics shall provide equal athletic opportunity for members of both sexes. In detennining whether equal opportunities are available, the Director of the Office of Civil Rights will consider, among other factors: (I) Whether the selection of sports and levels of competition effectively (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (a) accommodate the interests and abilities of members of both sexes The provision of equipment and supplies Scheduling of games and practice time Travel and per diem allowance Opportunity to receive coaching and academic tutoring Assignment and compensation of coaches and tutors Provision of locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities Provision of medical and training facilities and services Provision of housing and dining facilities and services Publicity 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 intramural athletics at the elementary school level shall comply fully with this section as expeditiously as possible but in no event later than one year from the effective date of this regulation. A recipient who operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics at 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 ~ \u0026gt;::c  C: ~~\n\u0026gt;:,z ig\n,, zm zm\"O' r- C:\n,, (\") m \"' !l' (\") 00 \u0026gt;~ en:-\nen-\u0026lt; :,:,0 o-. O::c 3:m The middle schools in the Little Rock School District offer the following sports 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 ofTitle 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 participants, the Little Rock School District Athletic Office has chosen prongs two and 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 athletics program as whole, men and women have comparable access to all \"perks\" of athletic participation. In order to measure compliance, the OCR will examine the following eleven areas, represented by the acronym P-L-A-Y-1- -G F-A-I-R. p L A y I N G F A I R 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 Facilities for access to athletic training benefits and medical services Academic tutoring services for student-athletes Institutional support services for athletic programs 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-I- -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. 2004-2005 School Year Little Rock Central's gym has been renovated. The locker rooms have been completely redone and look fantastic. Under Title IX compliance, the girls' locker rooms are the same as the boys. The athletes participating in volleyball and basketball will benefit greatly from this project. Enclosed in this report are the student participation reports for the school year 2003-2004. Beginning this year, we will be able to generate this report more accurately due to a new computerized eligibility program that was developed by Larry Pickett, the LRSD web design specialist. In addition to generating the student participation report, all athletic eligibility will be generated on the computer. All head coaches in all sports will be orientated on how to use the program. All football and volleyball coaches have already gone through orientation. The high school and middle school principals and athletic coordinators will also have access to this new eligibility program. 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~ athletes in the LRSD. ~ (') a, \u0026gt;~ cn='cn ..... :,\n,O o-, O::c: 3:m School: Middle Schools Football Activity Grade Level BM BF Cloverdale FB 6 Cloverdale FB 7 17 Cloverdale FB 8 27 Dunbar FB 6 11 Dunbar FB 7 18 Dunbar FB 8 23 F.

I have authorized the Human Resources Department to develop the \"Back to the Classroom\" (BTTC) program. District administrators, central office staff, curriculum and instruction staff, and most other departmental staff members will substitute teach for one day in a classroom each semester. This includes both certified and non-certified employees. We've all been there before, we love children (young adults for those secondary folks), and we want to be more visible in our schools. This will give all of us a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities that our classroom teachers face each day. The initial design of the program is as follows:       Every \"BTTC'' participant will substitute for a teacher one day each semester . Human resources will work with principals to prearrange these assignments for known illnesses/ doctors appointments, professional leave, etc. Human Resources will also coordinate a brief training session for staff members who need a refresher course as they travel back in time to their classroom days. All non-certified staff members participating in the \"BTTC\" program will be required to attend this training . Participants will have an opportunity to indicate their preference with regard to elementary, middle or high school levels as well as subject areas. All schools will be served. Schools that are experiencing a more difficult time scheduling substitutes may have more \"BTTC\" participants in their buildings. We will work side by side with teachers thus establishing a closer team/unit and an opportunity to build mutual respect. At approximately $50 per day for a substitute, there will be a saving in the District's substitute budget. (Human Resources and Financial Services will put a pencil to the figures to share with you in the near future.) The details are being developed and they will be shared with you at a later date, but I wanted to share a brief preview of the concept. (Any Board member who wishes to volunteer in the program will be welcomed .) I ask for your approval to continue planning and implementation of the Back to the Classroom Program. !1l t0 C: C G) !!l ?\u0026lt;x m~ 3::,- Co 5!!1 -\u0026lt;Z me, m\n,:, :i:m ~3::\n_,\n:,,\u0026gt;:, z\n:,:: G) CJ) LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS DATE: August 26, 2004 FROM: Jo Evelyn Elston, Director - Pupil Services Junious Babbs, Assoc. Supt. for Administrative Services THROUGH: Roy G. Brooks, Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Grant Application: Safe \u0026amp; Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Summary: The Arkansas Department of Education issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Title IV Community Service Grant Program targeting students who have been long-term suspended or expelled from school. The goal of the grant is to provide suspended and expelled students with meaningful activities during their absence from regular school to help them avoid negative and self-defeating behaviors. The intent of the grant will benefit our students by reducing recidivism and dropout rates of students assigned to Alternative Learning Programs, and will teach students the value of service to others. Goals \u0026amp; Objectives: 1. The 2004-05 suspension/expulsion recidivism rate for long-term suspended and expelled students will decrease by 30% when compared with 2003-04 suspension statistics. 2. The dropout rate for long-term suspended \u0026amp; expelled students will decrease by 40% when compared to 2003-04 statistics. 3. The number of violence-related policy infractions occurring at Alternative Learning sites will decrease by 30% 4. Interpersonal conflicts and violence within the school and community will be reduced by 25%. 5. Students will be provided an opportunity to develop a sense of civic and social responsibility. Maximum Grant Budget: $75,000.00 - no match required. The grant application was submitted by the August 1, 2004 deadline. We request the Board's approval to maintain the grant application submission. ~ )\u0026gt; C \u0026lt;- 0 C: ::c z 3: .zm. . .f..l, z \u0026gt;z (\") \u0026gt; r\nc m ell ~ \u0026gt; \u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u0026lt; m~ 3: r \"O 0 r\"' Qz me, m::c :cm ~ 3:\n_c\n\u0026gt;c Z::\u0026gt;\u0026lt; Cl Cll LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 DATE: TO: August 26, 2004 Board of Education FROM: ~al Paradis, Director of Procurement and Materials Mgmt.

As one of the English language acquisition specialists for the district, I have been able to establish a relationship with our Hispanic community. The new Girl Scout troop will be a Spanish language troop specifically targeting the Hispanic community. I have been aP,proved as a troop leader and will also be applying for a special grant (Del Suelo AI Ciel~- From Sidewalks to Treetops) to facilitate the involvement of our Hispanic girls1a nd their families. The three main goals of this program will be to provide positive natur~ experiences for Latinas in their own neighborhoods so that they may undertake coqununity service projects and champion the conservation of wildlife and natural resources, to promote science skills in girls and adults and t.o encourage collaboration with local Hispanic agencies, organizations and businesses. The dramatic increase in the Spanish-speaking population in central Arkansas has resulted in the need for programs for this population. It is my sincere desire, with the help of the school district, to provide an important Girl Scout experience for these young girls. We would like to begin recruiting girls and meeting as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Maria G.

My name is Crystal Barker and I am an alumnus of Northeast Senior High School class of 1987. I am serving as the founder of the Hilton Chandler scholarship fund. Coach Chandler served the North Little Rock School District for many years. As an athlete under his leadership, I had first hand experience of his sincere care, love and support/or all children, doing whatever he co'u/d to help them be successful That is the main reason I saw the need to present the idea of a scholarship in his honor to my church Young Adult Ministry. To begin our journey for this most worthy cause, I spoke with my pastor and we would like to host a benefit basketball game. The game would consist of two churches Eighth Street Baptist Church- NLR and SL Mark Baptist Church-LR. The reason we were hoping to utilize the gym/or this event is that Corliss Williamson of the Detroit Pistons is a member of SL Mark and Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers is a member of Eighth Street Baptist Church and the two have verbally consented to be the featured guest players. We realized with the two NBA stars we would need a nice size gym. The date we are looking at due to the schedules of the Derek and Corliss and the NLR Schools, is August 6, 2004. If you have any questions, please contact me at 749.5553 or 660.6886 ext 3208. Please speak to me directly in reference to this\nwe are not openly discussing Derek and Corliss until they have completed their NBA obligations for this year I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. cQ', e\nt, ~n J ~.O \u0026lt;:\n\u0026gt; f k .2,~f\"A S2 I ~ NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT Athletic Department 2700 Poplar St. - P.O.

Box 17621 I    I NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 7 2 I I 7 ~~~ ~TIC\\.~ June 25, 2004 Danny Russell NLR School District Athletic Director NLR High School 101 West 22nd Street North Little Rock, AR 72114 Dear Mr. Russell, The Police Athletic League (PAL) of North Little Rock is requesting the use of the NLR High School West Campus Gymnasium. We are planning to partner with the Cheer Time Tigers All Star Cheerleading team to host the Jae Lynn Russell Cheerleading Competition. I have attended several cheerleading competitions over the past two years. I believe that PAL could use this type of event as a fundraiser. I approached Donnie Wolf ( cheer time tigers coach) with the idea. The volunteers of PAL are willing to work, but they do not have experience in hosting or recruiting teams for a cheerleading competition. Donnie Wolf has donated his time for several cheerleading camps for the children of PAL over the past two years. Last summer Donnie conducted the cheer camps for the North Little Rock High School 9th grade and N cheerleading squads. He also assisted with the varsity team free of charge. Many good things will come from this competition. We have committed $5000.00 to the Make A Wish Foundation. We are going to make a wish come true in the middle of the competition for a child that is terminally ill. Cheer Time is hoping to raise money for a scholarship in the name of Jae Lynn Russell. Jae Lynn was a Cheer Time cheerleader that was involved in a fatal vehicle accident this past year. PAL is wishing to raise funds to benefit the children of North Little Rock that participate in the PAL program. As you know, PAL is a non-profit crime prevention program that relies heavily upon athletics to give at risk children an opportunity to participate in organized and supervised activities free of charge. We are requesting the use of the gymnasium, sound system, and one concession stand for Friday night February 4th and Saturday February 5th . Ross Athletic Supply is sponsoring a spring floor at a fraction of the cost that they normally charge, due the Make S4 POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE OF NORTH LITTLE ROCK 200 WEST PERSHING BOULEVARD P.O. Box I 7621 NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72 I I 7 A Wish Foundation involvement. Spring floors at competitions in Arkansas are rare and should attract many teams. We are requesting a few hours on Friday night to set up the floor. The floor is a foam spring board, which is wood with foam blocks underneath it. Under the foam will be a rubber pad to keep the floor from sliding and to protect the court. We are requesting the gymnasium for most of the day on Saturday. We would like the use of one concession stand. We do not require the use of any equipment inside the concession stand. PAL will provide police officers for security. We would incur any costs associated with janitorial services that you recommend. We anticipate a large crowd. We will have 10 different divisions for all-stars cheerleading, all-stars dance, jr. high cheer, jr. high dance, jv cheer, jv dance, high school cheer, and high school dance. We will also have an individual cheer and dance competition. Each team will receive a trophy and each participant will receive a medal. We would love to have all of the NLR school district cheer and dance teams participate without cost. This will be a great event for the city of North Little Rock. We expect teams from all over the state. We are also going to provide an opportunity for teams who do not normally get to perform in front of large crowds, such as the PAL cheerleaders and the Arkansas Special Olympics. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please Feel free to contact me, 744-4725, with any questions. elding L Board Vice-President S5 NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT JUNE 04 -- NOT FINAL ACCOUNT A \u0026amp; E HOME VIDEO A PLUS BAKERY A-PLUS TEACHING SUPPLIES A-PLUS TEACHING SUPPLIES A-PLUS TEACHING SUPPLIES A-PLUS TEACHING SUPPLIES A'TEST CONSULTANTS INC AAEA AAEA ABC SUPPLY CO.

The representatives diligently worked all day to coordinate a teacher professional development calendar that would maximize the designated professional development days for district and building use, and that would address the needs of teachers in this district. After much discussion, it was decided that the primary emphasis for the preschool professional development would be on strategies and techniques that would facilitate improved student achievement and teaching in the areas of math, literacy, and science. Attached is a calendar that outlines the specific days when professional development will be observed by our teachers in this district for both regular schools and the extended year schools.

Principals' Leadership Institute July 26-29, 2004 Attachrent B As the district focuses on six primary standards for effective leadership this year, every effort will be made to connect the district's professional development for principals and assistant principals to the six standards as listed. 1) Instructional Leadership 2) Organizational Leadership 3) Management Leadership 4) Community Leadership 5) Ethical Leadership 6) Environmental Context Leadership The topics that will be addressed at the July Institute were determined at a district-wide planning meeting held on April 15, 2004, where personnel from the Curriculum and Instruction Division and the School Services Division met all day to identify critical topics and needs for both teachers and administrators. The needs for principals were captured in a survey that was administered to principals in order to ascertain their input. The topics that will be addressed throughout the year have been identified by the building leaders as critical to their professional development, instructional competency, and professional growth. Other topics that will be addressed this year are as follows: Motivating the Staff/Faculty to Maximize Performance Using the Palm Pilot to Monitor the Classroom Walk-through Dealing with Difficult People: Leadership Skills and Interoffice Difficulties Data Analysis and Review: A Closer Look at 2004 Benchmark Results Managing and Dealing with the Difficult Parent (Dr. Todd Whitaker) Instructional Strategies Follow-up Session with Dr. Marcia Tate De-escalating Incidents and Difficult Situations Assessing the Professional Growth Plans: Year II Managing and Investigating Incidents and Allegations with Confidence Preparing for the Arbitration and Grievance Hearing What Every Leader Needs to Know: Student Due Process and IDEA No Child Left Behind Update Using the PTAS Rubrics to Score Teaching Performance Understanding the Context for Leadership: My Leadership Style First Things First: Time and Stress Management Leading, Supporting, and Assessing Reading and Writing Practices Managing the High-Dollar School Budget and Financial Resources \u0026gt; .f.\u0026gt;, m :a is zz ,m... n I C) m u, :.,,s c ::a tD nc ::c UJ 1\nz mrn . u, ~ u, :cm 8~ r-m tD UJ C u, m u, !J' I: 0 C .~,, z C) !J' I: z C.. . rn Tentative Principals' Leadership Institute 2004-05 Calendar DATE SESSION CATEGORY FACULTY LOCATION TIME July 23 , 2004 Safety \u0026amp; Management Robert Jones Washington Security and Margo Magnet 8:30- 10: 15 Health Issues Bushmiaer Discussion 10:30- 3:30 on-Title I Instructional Leon Adams Washington (pre-registered Schools and Leadership Lionel Ward Magnet slots of time) ACSIP Computer Labs Training Management July 26, 2004 A Discipline Instructional Dr. Linda Quality Foods Model: Leadership Watson 8:00-4:00 Aggression Replacement Organizational Dr. Sara Training Leadership Salmon, Trainer \u0026amp; Management Consultant Breakfast Served Leadership (7:30 - 8:00 A.M.)

District representatives were asked to discuss to what extent they comply with state and orth Central Accreditation (NCA) standards in hiring and placing assistant principals in their elementary and secondary schools. Attached are the results of what we learned about how schools determine the employment of assistant principals. You will also find below the state, NCA, and LRSD guidelines for the employment and placement of assistant principals in schools. State Standard  A school with an enrollment exceeding 500 students will employ a full-time principal and at least one of the following: 1)  time assistant principal or 2) instructional supervisor or 3) curriculum specialist North Central Association (NCA)  An elementary or secondary school with over 250 students will employ a full-time principal.  An elementary school with over 800 students shall employ a  time assistant principal.  Middle schools that have over 500 students shall employ a  time assistant principal.  A secondary school that has over 1,000 students shall employ a full-time assistant principal. Little Rock School District  An elementary school with over 500 students will receive a full-time assistant principal. However, some consideration is given to schools with special program needs (i.e., CBI, TAP).  Middle schools traditionally have received two assistant principals regardless of their enrollment size. A middle school that has a population exceeding 700 students will receive an additional half-time assistant principal who is a part-time teacher in the building. However, some consideration is given to schools with environmental or special programming needs in placing additional assistant principals.  For every 350 students, a high school receives an assistant principal. However, some consideration is given to schools with environmental or special programming needs in placing additional assistant principals. \u0026gt; !.,\",' m ~ z z ~ C') ::,: ~ C') m \"' :..,s c  ::ca, nc :,:en \u0026gt;z mm m. u\",' ~\"' :,:m 8~ r-m a,\"' C \"m' \"' !JI I: 0 C ~....,, z C') .,,.~ \u0026gt;::C no -\u0026lt;c oz::z:! .. m ~.,, ~.... !I:! .... ,-m ~ !JI I: z C... . m \"' School Contact Person Standard Current Additional District Compliance Practice on Information on Hiring APs Hirin!:!

D. Associate Superintendent - School Services FR: Krista Underwood - Director - Early Childhood RE: Report on Expansion of the Pre-K Program Please see attached chart for additional information. Schools Approved for Funding by ABCSS (First group of schools shown on the chart) In the seventeen schools which were approved for funding, the district had hoped to open twelve (12) new Pre-K classrooms in the following schools: Baseline (1 new classroom) Brady (1) Chicot (2) Cloverdale (1) Dodd (1) Mabel vale( 1) Stephens (1) Wakefield (1) Washington (2) Wilson (1) On the chart, the number of potential classrooms to be added is shown in column E: # added classrooms. After working with student registration and trying to project the level of interest in the community, of the twelve potentially new classrooms, the district decided to open seven (7) new classrooms in the following schools: Brady, Chicot (1 classroom only), Dodd, Mabelvale, Stephens, Wakefield, Washington (1 only) On the chart, these numbers are shown in column H: # classrooms adding. The district also decided to \"hold\" or delay opening new classrooms in the following schools until there was more assurance we would have students to fill the classrooms: Baseline, Cloverdale, Chicot (1), Washington (1) and Wilson On the chart, these numbers are shown in column I:# classrooms holding. Schools Eligible but Not Approved for ABCSS Funding (Second group of schools on the chart) The district decided to hold opening new classrooms in the non-funded schools except for Meadowcliff and Otter Creek. See justification for Otter Creek below. Schools Not Eligible for ABCSS Funding (Third group of schools on the chart) Because of the level of demand for Pre-K classrooms in these schools (Fulbright, Jefferson, Terry, Otter Creek, McDermott, and Forest Park), the district decided to open one additional classroom ( 6 total) in each of those schools. These schools are shown in the last group of schools listed on the chart. Even though these schools were not eligible for funding, it was the decision of the district to divert district funding that would be the source of funds for the seventeen funded schools to expansion of the Pre-K classrooms in these schools. All of the procedures and activities for opening the 12 new classrooms are currently in motion. \u0026gt; .f.l, m\na en 0 z z ,m....

Presently, we have eleven ( 11) buses that have been in service in excess of ten years. In order to stay on cycle we need to purchase eight (8) buses for the 2004- 2005 school year. Enrollment at the Alternative Leaming Centers (ALC and Garland) is projected to increase by 25% next year, as evidenced by the Board-approved expansion at the June 24 Board meeting. Three of the eight new buses will be used to transport these students. The total cost of these eight buses will be approximately $480,000. It is estimated that if financed over a seven-year period, the District would have an annual payment of about $83,000. Funding for these buses has already been included in the 2004-2005 Draft Budget. It is recommended that the Board approve the purchase and financing of eight (8) buses and authorize the administration to proceed with the procurement process. 810 \\YJ. 1arkham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  ,vww.lrsd.org 501-447-1000  fax: 501-447-1001 !:D ~ 0 C: !!l ..\u0026gt;..,, z Cl 0.., z \u0026gt;z (\") ,.... \"' Date: To: From: July 22, 2004 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Little Rock School District Board of Directors Dr. Roy G. Brooks, Superintendent of Schools Prepared by: Ms. Beverly Williams, Director of Human Resources RE: Dr. Sadie Mitchell, Associate Superintendent for Schools Mr. Mark Milhollen, Manager of Financial Services Memorandum of understanding regarding the vote of the Board on staffing issues I June 24, 2004 After a thorough review of the minutes of the Board meeting held on Thursday, June 24, 2004, it was determined that the consensus of the Board was to approve the following staffing positions: Elementary Teachers 12.0 Elementary Teachers - split classroom 5.0 Elementary Consulting Teachers 15.0 Secondary Teachers 23.9 ALC - Garland 9.5 ALC - Apperson 6.0 Total New Positions from the 71.4 Operating Budget 2004-05 A more detailed breakdown of positions by school is attached for the Board's information. The Board approved the proposed increase of nineteen (19) new Pre-K classrooms contingent upon receipt of ABCSS grant funds from the Arkansas Department of Education. As with any classroom positions, these teachers will only be hired if the number of students requires these additional positions. Adjustments with regard to specific schools and grades may be warranted as the student population shifts throughout the District. It is the recommendation of the Superintendent that the elementary consulting teachers be employed after all the regular classrooms are staffed. It is also his recommendation that the positions at the ALC (both Garland and Apperson) be staffed only after evidence that the enrollment at these sites is sufficient to justify the positions. We are asking at this time for the Board to take action to reaffirm the intent of their consensus vote on June 24, 2004. , I ALTERNATIVE LEARNING CENTER JUNE 30, 2004 SITE # of TYPES of POSITIONS POSITIONS APPERSON 4.0 Teachers 2.0 Paraprofessionals Sub Total 6.0 - GARLAND 1.0 Assist.

Both groups will receive, for the 04-05 school year, the 10% raise and the negotiated increase in the District's share of the insurance coverage. 2. The Association, acknowledging that a number of factors have resulted in both paraprofessionals and custodians falling short of the number necessary for the CTA to represent a majority of the employees in each group, agrees to forgo bargaining for the 2004- 05 school year. 3. The Administration will initiate two changes to the current agreement. These changes constitute the removal of the building engineers from the custodial bargaining unit and the placement of the paraprofessionals and the custodians on the LRSD Master Salary Schedule. 4. While no longer bound by the negotiated agreements covering the paraprofessionals and custodians, the Administration, whenever possible, with comply with the general spirit of the employment and working conditions outlined in those agreements until July 1, 2005. 5. Employee disputes will be handled in a manner consistent with Arkansas State Law 6-17-208 and the LRSD employee Handbook. 6. If the Association meets the verification terms outlined in the Recognition clause of the Paraprofessional contract by January 15 of 2005, the Administration will immediately honor the terms and conditions of that contact. 7. If the Association meets the verification terms outlined in the Recognition clause of the Custodial contract by January 15 of 2005, the Administration will immediately honor the terms and conditions of that contact.

The evaluation format for these programs will be standardized to the extent possible so that all of these programs can be evaluated on an annual basis with an added section each year that incorporates the latest student assessment data. In addition English as a Second Language (K-12) and the Pre-Kindergarten Program are proposed to complete the Program Evaluation Agenda for 2004-05. The primary research question will be, \"Was the program effective in improving the achievement of African-American students?\" (or Limited English Proficient students in the case of the ESL Evaluation). Individual components of the broad programs will be included in the program evaluations when feasible. Budget for external program evaluators and a Director of Planning, Research, and Evaluation and an Evaluation Specialist are proposed in the 2004-05 budget. Objectives- to improve the education for all students, with a focus on African-American students, by evaluating selected programs (and their components when feasible) each year to determine their impact on student achievement. Expected Outcomes- Programs will be maintained, adjusted, or eliminated based on the findings of program evaluations over a sufficient period of time to determine the effectiveness of the program. Population- District staff and teachers will be involved in the evaluations, in addition to an external evaluator(s). Budget Amount/Source of Budget- Staff members' time and materials are included as a part of the regular operating budget for the Math/Science and Literacy Departments.

Future program evaluations will require the continued assistance of external consultant(s) along with greater internal capacity to conduct program evaluations. Two additional staff members with program evaluation expertise will be needed. The two positions will be a Director of the Department and an Evaluation Specialist. $183,475 is included in the proposed 2004-05 budget for salary and fringes for these two positions. Manager-Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent for Instruction Duration-The formal program evaluations of the elementary literacy program, secondary literacy program, and elementary and secondary mathematics (and science) program began during the 2002-03 school year and was continued in the Board's Evaluation Agenda for 2003- 04 school year. Additional assessment data will be available during 2004-05 as the Benchmark Exams expand to included grades 3-8. The reports to the Board on the 2003-04 evaluations will be provided this October. Continued evaluations of literacy and mathematics will continue for the next few years as additional data is gathered. The Little Rock Reading First Project was also on the Board's Evaluation Agenda for 2003-04 and that report should be available this fall. The LRSD Reading First Project will continue, at a minimum, for the three years of the grant period and will be included as a component within the elementary literacy program evaluation, starting with the proposed 2004-05 Program Evaluation Agenda. Reports on the programs identified for evaluation on the Board's 2004-05 Agenda will be finished and reports made in the fall of 2005. Long Range/Continuation-all program evaluations are used as a benchmark for program planning in future years. The formal literacy and mathematics evaluations will be recommended for continuation each year into the foreseeable future. The ESL and Pre-K evaluations will conclude at the end of the 2004-05 school year but may be continued if desired by the Board. Other Agencies Involved-The Arkansas Department of Education is involved in the LRSD Reading First component of the elementary literacy program evaluation. The Division of Child Care, which is part of the Department of Human Services, will be involved in using the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECERS) to externally assess the Pre-K classrooms. ECERS will be used as a component of the Pre-K Program Evaluation. Expectations of Staff-Staff members from literacy, math, and English as a Second Language will serve on the evaluation teams for these program evaluations. Program evaluation is embedded in the job expectations of staff\nconsequently, this is an ongoing commitment for our staff. Needed Staff-External Program Evaluator(s) will be contracted to assist with the evaluations. Future program evaluations will require the continued assistance of external consultant(s), and the employment of two additional staff members with program evaluation expertise. The two positions will be a Director of the Department and an Evaluation Specialist. Comments-the program evaluation agenda as proposed includes the core curricular areas of literacy and math. Literacy and math are currently part of the high stakes testing programs required by NCLB. ESL is an area that was under supervision by the Office of Civil Rights until the district was released this past year. Continued evaluation of the program is recommended because LEP students are a sub-group under \"No Child Left Behind\" and because a new assessment was initiated this spring (Maculaitis Assessment of Competencies or MAC II) along with portfolio assessment. Pre-Kindergarten expansion is currently a major emphasis for LRSD. Evaluation of our structure for Pre-K expansion is important to guiding the development of the Pre-K Program in the future. Recommendations-we recommend approval of the six programs for program evaluation during the 2004-05 school year. !II (\") 0z 1/) ..... m~ ~!::l hl~ 1/) (\") :z:c 0 8 -\u0026lt; ~ mz n ..... .., Om iz!!mC C) ~ \"ti .....\n,a C) 8~ ~z ~ ..... 1/) % ID c:\n %~ ::cO - C: II)  .....

This Agreement is entered into by and between the National Park Service (NPS), United States Department of the Interior, acting through the Superintendent of Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, the City of Little Rock (\"the city\"), acting through the Mayor, the Little Rock School District (LRSD), acting through the Superintendent of Schools, and the Central High Neighborhood, Incorporated (CHNI), acting through its President. ARTICLE I - OBJECTIVES The objectives of this Agreement are to affirm a mutual understanding of the importance of historic resources and the cultural landscape within and surrounding Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, and to mutually commit to strive for the long-term protection of said resources and landscape. ARTICLE II - BACKGROUND Little Rock Central High School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A (because of its association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of American history) and Criterion G (because it achieved significance within the previous 50 years). In 1982 the Secretary of the Interior designated the school as a national historic landmark. The period of significance for the High School, as is listed on the National Register of Historic Places nomination form, is 1954-1959. In 1998, President Clinton signed Public Law 105-356, designating the school and certain adjacent properties as Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site (hereinafter \"the historic site\"). The purpose of the historic site, as specified in the law, is \" ... to preserve, protect, and interpret for the benefit, education, and inspiration of present and future generations, Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, and its role in the integration of public schools and the development of the Civil Rights movement in the United States.\" Section 2.(b) of the law further states, \"Nothing in this Act shall affect the authority of the Little Rock School District to administer Little Rock Central High School nor shall this Act affect the authorities of the City of Little Rock in the neighborhood surrounding the school.\" A National Park Service Cultural Landscape Inventory completed in 1999 determined that the School's cultural landscape also is nationally significant under National Register of Historic Places Criteria A (because of its association with events that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of American history) and Criteria C (distinctive characteristics of a period and possesses high artistic values). Agreement Number G7310040001 Page 2 of 6 This historic site is managed under a NPS General Management Plan (GMP), which was approved on July 30, 2002. Pursuant to Public Law 105-356, the GMP sets forth a management framework that ensures the administration of the historic site does not interfere with the continuing use of Central High School as an educational institution. Among many other principles, the GMP states: 1. \"The [NPS] will work cooperatively with the Little Rock School District to develop a preservation plan/policy for the building and grounds of the entire 21-acre school campus that is amenable to the school district.\" 2. \"The [NPS] will work with city agencies to develop preservation strategies for protecting the documented architectural and cultural landscape values of the high school's surrounding neighborhood.\" 3. \"Partnerships will be established with the Central High Neighborhood Association to assist with development of neighborhood preservation initiatives.\" The city, the LRSD, and the CHNI all are on record as supporting the GMP. This Agreement will serve as the initial step towards achieving the principles stated above. ARTICLE Ill-AUTHORITY The authority for this Agreement is 16 U.S. C. 1-3. ARTICLE IV - STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT The parties to this Agreement recognize that Central High School is an active educational institution that must be maintained and adapted to continue to serve the community. Similarly, the parties recognize that the neighborhoods surrounding the historic site are living communities that also must be maintained and allowed to adapt to remain viable. Th~ parties acknowledge that visitation to the historic site will continue to grow. This increased use, Which is projected to reach more than 56,000 annual visits by 2007, has potential to impact public infrastructure in the neighborhoods surrounding Central High School, possibly necessitating repairs or improvements to the infrastructure. T.he parties affirm that Central High School and the surrounding cultural landscape are nationally sign1f1cant resources deserving of special protection measures. Given the above facts, the parties agree that the historic character and features of the high school and the cultural landscape of the school campus and surrounding neighborhood must be preserved and, Wh~n practical, restored to reflect the appearance of the school and the landscape during its historic Period of significance (1954-1959). The parties further acknowledge that most property in the surrounding neighborhoods is privately owned. Under current zoning the city can encourage, but not compel , private property owners to adhere to this goal. For the purposes of this agreement, the cultural la_ndscape shall be defined as the school campus and all areas within one block of the National Historic Site (as depicted in green on the attached map). ?\u0026lt; ~ C: C \u0026gt;m o....z.. ~~ n\ni2 z \u0026gt; ~ ?\u0026lt; \u0026gt; l:: 0 C: ~ :I: m z.. . fl g z ~ 0z \"' ARTICLE V - STATEMENT OF WORK A.

Brown 50th Anniversary May 17, 2004 marked the 50th Anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka. (A ruling by the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court that outlawed school segregation in the United States). This ruling is of significant importance and has had lasting implications in Arkansas and the Little Rock School District. LRSD presently detects strength, taking pride in our diversity and embracing a broad range of opportunity. As we acknowledge this anniversary and enter the '04-05 school year, we will take time to reflect on historical and present issues that result from this event. Additional information may be accessed via the LRSD website ( w\\\\'\\\\. lrsd.org). Pre-K 4 Year-Old Program Expansion Application is being made to the Arkansas Department of Education for Arkansas Better Chance for School Success (ABCSS). The district is seeking funding for approximately sixty-six (66) PreK classrooms for 4-year-olds. We await notification in early-mid summer to initiate 2004-05 student application and assignment. :..n.. m C') :z:c 0 8 -\u0026lt; :,\n, m i3 :: r\u0026gt; a, C 8 .m...

Holmes, Interim Superintendent Title/Subject Summary Objectives Expected Outcomes Population/Location Budget Amount Managers Duration Long Range/Continuation Technology Report  On May 3 professional development sessions were held at all schools to provide training to staff in the integration of technology into the curriculum. Teacher trainers at each school provided the training after coming to the IRC for training from Southwest Educational Development Laboratory. Comments from principals and teachers have been very positive with requests to provide similar sessions in the future.  Since the last Board meeting we have received notification on our E-rate applications for this year: o Our 2003-2004 applications for WAN lease, telephone service, electronics and cabling were all not funded. The reason given is that our documentation did not prove that price was the primary factor in selecting the vendor. We will appeal this decision. Some of these same applications have been funded in the past. o The E-rate web site this week posted a commitment to fund media retrieval systems in the amount of $1.3 million for 8 LRSD schools. Those schools are Brady, Fair Park, Franklin, Mitchell, Rightsell, Rockefeller, Wakefield, and Watson.  Henderson Middle School has been approved to get an EAST lab next year. This brings the LRSD total of EAST labs up to 10.

For Board Approval Date: April 16, 2004 Board Proposal #3 ARTICLE 14. HOURS OF WORK MID OVER+IME A. The normal work year for school-term employees shall be that number of student days mandated by the State Department of Education. However when summer employment is available, it shall be posted for (7) days. Hiring for summer positions shall be based on-seniority, good work attendance, and job performance. Drivers/ aides who accept summer employment and who do not complete the assignment obligation will not be considered for summer employment for the next two (2) years. Exceptions will be made for emergency and/or extreme medical conditions. B. Regular pay shall be paid on early dismissal days and drivers will work adjusted schedules as required to meet needs of students transported. Drivers shall receive regular pay for time worked on emergency days. C. When inclement weather forces the closing of any work sites, all local radio and television stations, including KLRE, shall be notified so that announcements may be made no later than 6:00 a.m., if possible. D. Reporting Time. All OOef6 transportation employees will be required to report to work in the morning not later than thirty minutes before the first scheduled stop on the first run or 6:00 AM whichever comes later. All OOef6 transportation employees are required to report not less than 30 minutes before too their first scheduled afternoon pickup time. Additionally, all transportation employees must report 30 minutes before their noon run. E. Assignment/re-assignment Of Bus Routes. The following procedures will be followed in assignment and re-assignment of bus routes. 1. At the beginning of the school year all returning drivers will be assigned, to the extent possible, to the route which most closely resembles the route the driver drove at the end of the previous school year. 2. New (first year) drivers will be assigned open routes based upon the director' s/supervisors' assessment of aptitude. These assignments will be made following the initial assignments ofreturning drivers and after the conclusion of the bid process. 28 3. On or ru:ound By October 1 of each year, (Unless an emergency prevents the Administration from compiling the necessary information.) all routes will be open for bidding. Employees will be afforded an opportunity to ''bid\" on-RmS routes of their choice. For this purpose a route will be considered to be a combination of morning/afternoon school runs assigned to an individual bus to make most effective use of limited vehicular resources. The assignment of runs routes will be based on driver seniority. This will be the only time during the school year that all routes will be open for bidding. Scheduled bidding times will be established by management and strictly followed. Each driver will be allowed fifteen (15) minutes to bid. Those drivers who cannot be present may authorize a unit member or management to bid for them if their proxy is given in writing. Those who exceed their time or fail to show will be placed at the bottom of the list. A seniority list will be posted at least three (3) days prior to the bidding with all parties given an opportunity to correct any errors. The tentative route list-s book for bidding will be posted during the same period. Any necessary changes to the routes after posting and before bidding will be posted and highlighted. Also, no changes will be accepted one (1) work day before bidding starts. All changes prior to that day will be posted prior to the start of bidding. After bidding begins, students will be added to the appropriate runs as required. 4. Following assignment of this route no further bidding will be made. A driver will be assigned to drive the remaining open route. This cut-off of bidding is necessary to retain stability of operations and preclude a domino effect of all routes. 5. It is possible that the nature of the route originally bid could be changed significantly during the course of the school year. The determination of when a route falls into this category will be made by the director based upon the recommendations of the supervisors and dispatchers. lt is also possible that additional routes could be added during the school year or that routes become vacant due to resignation or termination of the driver. 6. If the events of the preceding paragraph occur, the route will be posted for bids for two working days prior to assignment. No bids will be accepted beyond 5 :00 p.m. of the second working day following posting of the routes. Drivers who bid on and accept routes made available under the circumstances related in the preceding paragraph will not be allowed to bid on any 29 !I' C') 0 I: .~.. m C') % C') .mz. . m ::0 r\"' \u0026gt; a, C') \"\"'' C, ~ .z. . additional routes for another thirty (30) days. If the bidding process causes another route to become vacant, the administration may appoint a driver to fill the vacancy until all routes are bid the following October. 7. Full-time Substitute positions are not subject to the above procedures. All Fulltime Substitute positions will, however, be posted for two working days to allow drivers to indicate their interest in the position. 8. All routes will be paired with two runs. If for any reason a second run is deleted or the route is put up for bid without a second run, management reserves the right to add one at any time during the year. Additionally, for any route that can not be paired drivers will be asked to do an additional run during the time frame they would normally have a second run and there will be no additional compensation. The procedures outlined in this policy statement are intended to insure equity and consistency in assignments within the Transportation Department. Changes in assignments outside of the bidding process will be made only for reasonable cause. The Superintendent shall have the right, at his/her discretion, to make administrative changes in assignments. Such assignments shall have precedence over all other assignments. F. Training requirements for bus driver personnel are a condition of employment. We are obligated by law to train personnel in matters of safety and performance. Therefore it is incumbent upon the District to provide this opportunity to all unit personnel. Prior to the opening of school, on panmt conference days, and t@acher work days and throughout the school year the District will provide thirty hours of paid mandatory in-service. Personnel may take additional training during the year. The District will pay $25.00 per @ach tlH=ee how= s0ssion or~ $10.00 per hour up to a total of 45 hours per year per employee for staff development. 30 For Board Approval Date: April 13, 2004 Board Proposal # 2 ARTICLE 19.

Objectives -- The overall goal of the LRSD ABCSS program is to expand the opportunity for quality early childhood education experiences for the three- and four-year-old children in the district who are educationally deprived. Expected Outcomes -- Having access to nurturing, supportive educational experiences will prepare preschool children to enter kindergarten with the necessary cognitive, physical, social and emotional, and early language and literacy skills for success in school. The outcomes of the project will be measured through an online assessment system required by the project. Population -- Three and four year old children who reside in the district and who meet specific criteria established by the ABCSS program. Source of Budget/Budget Amount -- The Arkansas Department of Human Services has announced the availability of funds to assist in providing early childhood programs which identify and assist educationally-deprived children, ages three (3) and (4) years, as specified in the Arkansas Better Chance Program for School Success, Act 49 of 2004. This proposal will allow the District to make application in a competitive process for approximately $5.5 million in continuous funding from the Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Early Childhood Education. The funds will support centerbased early childhood education opportunities for the four-year-old children in the district and home-based (HIPPY) educational opportunities for the three year old children in the district. 810 \\'\\'. t- 1arkham  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  www.lrsd.org 501-447-1000  fax: 501-447-1001 p -, g a, 8\n,,\n\u0026gt; 8 ::!l 0z u, -, a, C: . -n ::!\u0026gt; O\n:a zm z\ng g ~~ m!I: ~ -u,, C: 0 :m:amz :S -, u, ::c a~ Zo u, a, Manager -- Krista Underwood, Director of Early Childhood and Elementary Literacy Duration -- ABCSS funding is renewed annually upon submission of the grant continuation application.

Over all Program Goals and Objectives The overall goal of the LRSD ABCSS program is to develop and expand the early childhood education opportunities for the three- and four-year old children in the district who are educationally deprived either through the center-based or home-based (HIPPY) setting. Having access to nurturing, supportive educational experiences will prepare the children to enter kindergarten with the necessary cognitive, physical, social and emotional, and early language and literacy skills for success in school. Center-based Program Goals The District goals for the center-based programs will be achieved through the following program objectives: 1) Development of teachers' capacity to deliver research-based developmentally appropriate instruction to enhance all areas of a child's development\n2) Development of teachers' capacity to deliver research-based developmentally appropriate literacy instruction in the areas of oral language development, phonological awareness, print awareness, and alphabet knowledge\n3) Provision of both English and Spanish materials/supplies to provide a print-rich environment\n4) Utilization of screening assessments or other appropriate measures to determine whether children are developing the language, cognitive, and early literacy skills they need for later academic success\n5) Utilization of assessment data for program evaluation\n6) Inclusion of the Preschool program in the District's Literacy plan to ensure alignment of programming from Preschool to Grade 5 and easy transition from Preschool to Kindergarten\n7) Opportunity for parental engagement in children's early learning\n.... a, C:. :::\n~ i5::o zm z\n:g no ::0 C) ~~ m:r:: r, u...,.

The objectives for each school's preschool program are included with the site information. HIPPY Program Goals and Objectives The Little Rock School District HIPPY program operates with two major sets of goals and objectives: 1) Child-focused Goals\n2) Parent-focused Goals. The child focused goals include two years of educational experiences with emphasis on language development, sensory and perceptual discrimination skills and problem solving. The parent focused goals include, self-esteem, parent as educator skills, problem solving skills, advocacy for child's educational needs, and transition from home to school. II. Type of Program and Curriculum Used Center-based Program Using the state's Early Childhood Framework as a basis, the Little Rock School District's center-based four-year-old-program uses a curriculum that was developed by a task force composed of specialists, teachers, instructional aides, and parents. The curriculum is based on the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the (International Reading Association) IRA standards for programming for the preschool child. The District curriculum provides instruction that is sensitive to the developmental changes in growth and learning that occurs according to the child's strengths, interests, needs, and experiences. The program offered in all sites across the district offers a learning environment that is safe, yet provides challenging and achievable opportunities. Play is recognized as an important vehicle for the social, emotional and cognitive development of children and a reflection of their development. The curriculum is sensitive to the cultural and ethnic heritage of children and provides for interaction with students from various backgrounds in diverse settings to respect and value each other. In addition, the LRSD preschool program accepts and mainstreams special needs children in their classrooms and all facilities are handicapped accessible. The district provides services through the Tri-district Early Intervention Program. HIPPY Program The LSRD's home-based program (HIPPY) serves the specific purpose of maximizing efforts for trained District personnel to work in a cooperative, collaborative manner with parents to effectively intervene in the lives of three- and four-year-old HIPPY participants to improve learning. The program is coordinated with and under the supervision of the Little Rock School District Early Childhood Education Program which allows alignment of programming with the District's preschool center based program. The collaborative effort also provides the needed resources, such as support staff, opportunities for professional development and instructional materials for HIPPY children that are provided to the center-based teachers and children. Ill. Teacher qualifications Little Rock School District currently employs certified personnel licensed in early childhood or elementary education to teach in every preschool classroom. In addition, all teachers' aides and Home-Based Educators in the district are required to have a Child Development Associate's (CDA) certification. The District ensures that the practice of hiring highly qualified personnel will continue as the expansion of the preschool program is implemented. IV. Number of students to be served The number of students projected to be served by LRSD ABCSS center-based program is 1202 four ( 4) year olds. The number of students projected to be served by the LRSD home-based (HIPPY) program is 95, with the majority of the children being the age of three (3). 3 ~ a, C-~:,n.. . o\n,c zm z\ng no\n,c Cl ~ ~ m\nI: r\u0026gt; ~ C: 0\n,cm ms~z en ::c 0~ ZO en a, V. History of program operation Center-based Program Little Rock School District received its first Arkansas Better Chance (ABC) grant in 1991 and opened three preschool classrooms. The District received funding for 78 children through ABC in six classrooms in three schools in the district (Woodruff, Romine, Rightsell). Since that time the District has shown continued commitment to providing preschool opportunities by expanding the preschool program into every school, except the four Magnet schools. Unfortunately, although the District has committed significant funding for preschool, the funding has not been sufficient to allow placement for every child. Every year the Little Rock School District may have as many as 500 children on a waiting list for placement into its 4-year old program. HIPPY Program The HIPPY program has been in operation in the Little Rock School District since 1986 and is one of the four oldest in the state. Prior to this year, even though the HIPPY program was under the supervision of the LRSD Early Childhood and Elementary Literacy Department, the base office was housed in other locations. Last July 2003, the base office was relocated to the LRSD Instructional Resource Center which also houses the Early Childhood Department. The Director of Early Childhood and Elementary Literacy has been more involved in overseeing the maintenance and operation of the program and the Coordinator works part time as a literacy specialist in the Department, allowing more collaboration and alignment between the two programs related to job performance, resources, and professional development. VI. License status/Quality Approval/ Accreditation status All of the existing Little Rock School District preschools are licensed by DHS and have obtained Quality Approval/ Accreditation. During the 2003-04 school year, the average ECERs rating for all programs in the district was 6.9, with many sites receiving a perfect rating of 7.0. A letter from 4 the Division of Childcare and Early Childhood Education (DCECE) indicating the license and quality approval status of the preschool programs across the district is provided in Appendix A. In addition, the review of the HIPPY program by the state resulted in an exemplary report with the program garnering 93% on the Validation Instrument. It is the intent of the District to continue the exemplary efforts made by program staff to work toward an even stronger validation rating. The district ensures that qualified personnel will be employed in the preschool programs and the same rigor of quality currently offered in the District will be maintained in all sites funded through ABCSS. The District utilizes a personnel evaluation system that monitors any employee whose certification is deficient. After a designated amount of time, any employee who has not met the licensing requirements is removed from the position. VII. Justification of need Justification for funding the LRSD preschool center-based and home-based program is based on four issues: high poverty, low achievement, a history of high quality preschool programming and local interest. High Poverty. According to the 1989 census, approximately 24% of the children 5 years and younger who live in Little Rock live below the poverty level. Family composition is related to income and poverty--youth with two parent families generally have greater incomes than youth from families with only one parent. About 3 out of 10 families in Little Rock are single-parent families-about 2 out of 10 of those are white families and 5 out of 10 are African American families. About 22% of Little Rock's children live in poverty, but for African American youth the poverty rate climbs to 37%. The district's total African-American population is approximately 69% and many of the schools for which the district is making application have an African-American population of 65-95%. In addition, the district Hispanic population increases every year with the enrollment currently at approximately 3%. 5 _, CD -cn .... \u0026gt; o\n:o zm z~ no\n:o C\u0026gt; ~~ m!I: !\"' !!l C 0\nom mz :-5-t en ::c 0~ ZO en a, In the Little Rock area, high quality preschool programming would diminish the disparity in achievement that exists between high poverty and low poverty children. Low achievement. Nineteen (19) of the District's elementary schools are in school improvement because oflow performance on the state's Benchmark Exam in math or literacy. The District's student performance on the State's Criterion Reference Test (CRT) has improved every year, but still continues to be less than satisfactory. High Quality Programming. Recognizing the value of preschool education to the later success of children in poverty, LRSD has dedicated district funds to implement preschool programs in all elementary schools except the four Magnet schools. Every year the District's preschool programs have achieved quality status, and DCCECE can be assured that LRSD will continue to provide the high quality preschool programming that is currently being offered on a limited basis. High Interest. The high quality preschool programs offered by LRSD has resulted in numerous requests for placement. At any given time during the year, there are as many as 500 students waiting placement in the District's preschool program .. Limited Local Resources. For the past several years, the district has offered preschool programming to more than 1000 preschool children (approximately 53 classrooms of four-year-olds and HIPPY) with funding that is little more than the level of district match funding that will be required of the ABCSS FY2004-05 grant. The District is anticipating increasing the number of children served in both the center-based and home-based programs to 1429 (approximately 20 new classrooms), including the children to be served through the continuation grant. Even though the district has diligently dedicated local funds to preschool programs for several years, the funding has not been sufficient to provide preschool placement for all children and with the level of implementation that the District desires. In addition, NCLB has required the District to redirect funds 6 to providing additional services for students in Grades K-12, therefore, impacting the amount of District funding that is available for preschool expansion. VIII. Status of Elementary Schools Regarding Percent (%) of Children Proficient in Math and Literacy on 4th Grade Benchmark Exam Little Rock School District will be requesting funding for the following schools with the highest priority for funding (3 or 2): Bale, Baseline, Brady, Chicot, Cloverdale, Dodd, Fair Park, Franklin, King, Mabelvale, Rockefeller, Stephens, Wakefield, Washington, Watson, Wilson, and Woodruff. In the schools with a priority ranking of 3 or 2, the average percent of students performing on below proficient on the 2002 and 2003 administration of the Primary Benchmark Exam in literacy was 54% and math was 68%, with averages ranging from 77% and 83% below proficiency, respectively in literacy and math, to 33% and 53% respectively. A table of the assessment data is attached. (See Appendix B.) IX. School Improvement Status Of the 25 schools for which the district is making application, sixteen (16) are in school improvement and include the following: Bale (Year 2), Baseline, Brady, Chicot (Year 3), Cloverdale, Dodd, Fair Park, Franklin, King, Mabelvale, Rockefeller, Stephens, Wakefield, Washington, Watson, and Wilson. x. Academic Distress Status: not applicable XI. Percentage of children in the school area receiving free and reduced lunches. In the schools for which the District is making application, the average percent of children who qualify for free and reduced lunch is approximately 75% with the range being from a high of 95% to a low of 21 %. Schools receiving a priority ranking of 2 or 3 for funding have an average poverty level of approximately 82%. Appendix C provides a table of the free and reduced lunch percentages for each school for which the District is making application. 7 -\u0026lt;IJl C:. :::\n~ o\nn zm z\ng no\nn C) ~ ~ m:I: 0 !!l C: C\nnm mz S-\u0026lt; (1)% 0~ Zc (I) a, XII. Number of children currently enrolled in kindergarten in the elementary school The number of kindergarten children enrolled in the elementary schools for which the district is making application is 1480. The total number of Kindergarten children in the District is 2010. XIII. Description of Daily Schedule Center-based Program In compliance with the Arkansas Better Chance Schools and the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, the daily schedule of the LRSD provides a balance of structured and unstructured activities which focus on active learning and time for discovery through play as well as opportunities for small and large group interactions. Schedules reflect a substantial portion of the day in which children are involved in free choice center activities while participating daily for an additional hour in outdoor play. It is the goal of the Little Rock School District to establish consistent routines allowing for smooth transitions between daily events in order to meet individual needs of children. HIPPY Program Homebased Educators who reside in target neighborhoods are trained to teach the HIPPY curriculum to parents of three and four year old children. Each Homebased Educator is assigned 27 families and visits each family's home every week for one hour to instruct parents in the use of the learning material. Parents are required to attend a monthly group meeting where they meet with their Homebased Educator one and one half hours to review curriculum, look at the materials covered in the previous weeks and discuss individual progress. Parents who attend group meetings are exempt from a home visit on that particular week. XIV. Match/Integration of Funding Sources The Little Rock School District ensures that the required district match funding (40%) will be provided to support implementation of a high quality preschool program in all schools and in the HIPPY program. District funds will be allocated and used in the following ways: 8 Title I funds will be used in ABCSS schools to: Purchase classroom materials Provide professional development opportunities District operating funds will be used in ABCSS schools to: Purchase classroom materials Employ personnel to supervise and provide technical assistance Provide costs of maintenance and operation Provide office supplies and copier expenses Provide costs of the online assessment required of the project Library Media Funds will be used in ABCSS schools to: Purchase books to support classroom libraries Purchase materials for shared reading LRSD Division of Curriculum and Instruction will use district funds to employ personnel to assist in the folloPwroivnigd:e follow-up professional development in the form of modeling and technical assistance to support implementation of Pre-ELLA and Early Childhood Benchmark Training.

Objectives - 1) to replace the existing textbook used in the high school, which is approximately 10 years old, with a current and very appealing health textbook, 2) to add a grade appropriate textbook for the sixth grade health program, 3) to add a health focus with an appropriate textbook in the fifth grade program. Expected Outcomes - The health program of the district will be improved and strengthened by the replacement of the textbook used in the high schools. Since the change to the middle school concept, there has not been an appropriate health book for the sixth grade health program. The previous book was used in the eighth grade program. The new textbook is developmentally appropriate for our sixth grade students. Health will be added to the science curriculum in the fifth grade. Instruction about the body systems will be an added as part of the fifth grade curriculum so our students will be better prepared for the Benchmark Science Exam to be given in 2006-07. Population - Health is offered as a senior high elective for a half unit of credit. Students may choose health as an elective in grades 9-12. In middle school, health is offered in sixth grade as a companion to physical education. The students receive a semester of health instruction and a semester of physical education. Health has not been offered in elementary school for the last several years as a separate course. The science curriculum does not cover the body systems, and adding health to the existing science curriculum will strengthen our students' understanding of their bodies. Budget Amount/Source of Budget - Each high school will need approximate 350 health textbooks. Each middle school will need 2 class sets for the sixth grade classes. Each elementary school will need a class set of books for each fifth grade classroom. ~....

Care income comes directly from parent tuition, and The Department of Human Services Childcare Vouchers or other programs that provide childcare tuition assistance to parents CARE is seeking approval to raise tuition fees by $15.00 per month or 13.64% for a maximum of $125.00 per month as compared to the current $110.00 per month. In the event that a raise is approved for the 2004/2005 school year, this increase would cover the 2.875% raise plus a 10% raise, three additional school days and one additional staff development day that have been added to the 2004/2005 school calendar. If a lesser raise were approved, CARE would increase tuition fees according to that percentage. The revenue generated by the tuition rate increase would offset the payroll increase.

The administration is recommending the approval of the revisions. DRAFT 2004-2005 STUDENT HANDBOOK REVISIONS SAFE AND UNSAFE SCHOOLS Pursuant to the requirements of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, the following information is to be provided to parents: 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. NOTE: If a school is designated as an unsafe school, students will have an opportunity to transfer to another school where there is space.

LR-C-82-866 RECEIVED APR 1 9 2004 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS The Joshua Intervenors' Memorandum in Support of Their Opposition to the Motion of the LRSD to Be Released from Further Supervision and Monitorina of Its Deseareaation Effo~ts The \"LRSD has [not] substantially complied with [Plan] Section 2. 7. 1, as specified in [the court's] Compliance Remedy\" [Memorandum Opinion, September 13,2002,at 172, para. F]. Therefore, the LRSD must continue to be subject to further supervision and monitoring of its implementation of the court-ordered remedy, until it demonstrates substantial compliance with that remedy. The retention of jurisdiction should be for a new period of two school years. This court's September, 2002 opinion identified the purpose of Section 2.7.1, the importance of substantial compliance with its terms, and the capacity which the LRSD must demonstrate as one element of its burden to justify the termination of the court's 1 / ,.. supervision. This court wrote: I find that the purpose of 2.7.1 was to make sure that the programs under 2. 7 actually worked to improve the academic achievement of African-American students. I further find that LRSD's substantial compliance with 2.7.1 was crucial to its commitment to improve the academic achievement of African American students; for, without performing a rigorous annual assessment of each of the many dozens of programs implemented under 2. 7, it would be impossible to determine which programs were working and should be continued and which programs were not working and should be discontinued, modified, or replaced with new programs [at 150; emphasis in original] . I conclude that the court should continue supervision and monitoring of LRSD's compliance with this crucially important section of the Revised Plan in order to ensure that LRSD has in place an effective assessment program that will allow it to identify and improve those programs that are most effective in rernediating the academic achievement of African American students. [at 168] These elements of the court's opinion help to frame the issues presented by the Joshua Intervenors' opposition to the LRSD motion. A. The Lack of the Capacity of the LRSD to Perform the Requisite Assessments and Evaluations (1.) For the reasons set forth in paragraphs 2 . through 14, the LRSD has failed to \"[demonstrate] that a program assessment procedure is in place that can accurately measure the effectiveness of each program implemented under Section 2. 7 in improving the academic achievement of African-American students: . [ \"Compliance Remedy,\" Mem. Opin., at 170; see also id. at 168) (2.) In its ruling of September 13, 2002, the court cited the recognition of the school board and upper echelon administrators that the LRSD had been without the capacity to . prepare what the court termed \"in-depth and analytic program evaluations.\" [Mem. 2 / ,J' , 1'  ' Opin. at 156; see id. at 153 (Dr. Lesley ) ; at 156-57 (school - board); at 157 (Superintendent Carnine)]; at 159 (Dr. Lesley)]. (3.) Subsequent to the court's entry of the Compliance Remedy, the LRSD has continued to have an inadequately staffed evaluation/assessment unit. [ODM report, March 30, 2004 at 2, 16] (4.) In its opinion of September 13, 2002, the court found that the LRSD had identified \"many dozens of programs [as] implemented under Section 2. 7 [of the agreed upon Plan] II [Mem. Opin. at 150] The Compliance Remedy provides in part as follows: A. For the entire 2002-03 school year and the first semester of the 2003-04 school year, through December 31, 2003, LRSD must continue to assess each of the programs implemented under Section 2.7 to improve the academic achievement of AfricanAmerican students. [Mem. Opin. at 170; emphasis added] Nevertheless, despite inquiries from ODM , the LRSD has not even - identified, with clarity, the programs which it deems to be subject to this mandate (much less provided evidence of the assessment or evaluation of each program). [ODM report, March 30, 2004 at 23.] (5.) In the light of the court's opinion [Mem . Opin. at 151- 152; 153; 156-158], the LRSD properly concluded that it must each year, among other things, complete several compreh~nsive evaluations of key parts of the curriculum \"designed to improve and remediate the academic achievement of African-American students . \" [Plan Section 2. 7] 1 (6. ) On October 10, 2002, the LRSD school board adopted Regulation IL-Rl titled \"Program Evaluation Agenda.\". The regulation 1 . LRSD Compliance Plan, filed March 14, 2003, at 7. 3 / sets forth standards and procedures for program evaluations in the - LRSD. [See LRSD Submission of March 14, 2003, Appendix l] It provides in part (at 5) that \"the first meetings [of the committee responsible for evaluating a particular program] will be devoted to the following tasks . D. Agree on any necessary research questions that need to be established in addition to the question, 'Has this curriculum\\instruction program been effective i .n improving and remediating the academic achievement of African-American students?' (See Policy IL, 2.7.1 of the Revised Desegregation and Education Plan, and Judge Wilson's Compliance Remedy.)\" (7.) The LRSD offers as one comprehensive evaluation the \"Little Rock School District Literacy Program Evaluation\" authored by Dr. Steven M. Ross and others of the Center for Research in Educational Policy, University of Memphis. The LRSD approved a list of research questions for this study not including the auestion quoted in para. 6 1 identified by the LRSD as a necessary element of any evaluation to be a part of the effort to satisfy the court's Compliance Remedy. 2 Indeed,the Literacy Evaluation states (at 4): \"The primary purpose of research focus was to examine the achievement of Africa:n American students in reading and language arts in the Little Rock School District.\" (8.) Dr. Ross prepared for the LRSD a document regarding the \"Page 148\" evaluations. It is titled \"Guidelines for Completing Eight Progr~m Evaluations in Little Rock School District.\",[filed by LRSD on March 14~ 2003] The document articulates, among others, 2 See Literacy Evaluation at 1 (research questions), at 4 (indicating that question most relevant to the Compliance Remedy was given lesser emphasis). 4 the following premise [Plaintiffs' Notice ... , March 14, 2003, at - 1]: Program evaluations that focus predominately on student achievement outcomes while lacking sufficient implementation data have reduced value due to inability to determine the nature of the 'treatment.' The study will also fail to inform policymakers about the practicality of the program, now it was used and reacted to by stakeholders, or whether and\\or how it needs to be improved to impact at-risk learners. (9 .) In 2000, Dr. Ross met with the LRSD Compliance Committee. A part of the discussion is described in the ODM report, March 30, 2004, as follows (at 3): (10.) . [Dr. Ross] also describ.ed the program evaluation process, which included a classroom observation plan developed at the University of Memphis. The observations were to ensure that programs were being consistently implemented in the classrooms throughout the district .. Respectfully, the O TTr'\\-\"':\\ 1 1 V \"-.\u0026amp;..._.,..I.. ..L. text of the Literacy Evaluation shows, consistent with its stated purpose, that it \"focused] predominately on student achievement outcomes while lacking sufficient implementation data .\" The description of programs is exceedingly terse and, at grade levels 10-12, almost non-existent. [Literacy Evaluatton at 10-11] It reflects no observation of classrooms by outside observers to assess ~ctual program implementation. This is the case because the funding which the LRSD provided to Dr. Ross and his Center was not sufficient to pay for classroom observation. This study can provide little help to answer the question \"whether and\\or how [the literacy program] needs to be improved to impact at-risk learners.\" ,In this regard, it is noteworthy that LRSD Regulation IL-Rl includes, as one 5 / i -l criterion for identifying evaluation topics, the following question - [at 4] : \"Can the results of the evaluation influence decisions about the prograrn?\"3 ( 11.) Other elements of LRSD policy IL-Rl, as well as the professional standards on which the LRSD standards drew, buttress Joshua Intervenors' contention that the Literacy Evaluation falls short of the mark when judged in the light of the objectives of the court's Compliance Remedy (i.e., conducting PROGRAM evaluations for a particular purpose.) (a.) LRSD policy IL-Rl contains the following content: Program Documentation. The program being evaluated should be described and documented clearly and accurately so that it is identified clearly. [at 3) \"Program Evaluation Procedures\" G:C:  Write a clear description .. of the curriculum\\ in3truction program that is to be evaluated, with information about the schedule of its implementation. [at 4-5) (b.) LRSD Policy IL (\"Evaluation of Instructional Programs\") provides that \"all program evaluations will follow standards established by the National Joint Cammi ttee on Standards for Education Evaluation.\" Policy IL-Rl further identifies these standards; they are The Program Evaluation Standards, 2nd Edition: How to Assess Evaluations of Educational Programs (Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications) . These standards include the following content in the section on \"accuracy standards\" [at 127-28): 3 The Literacy Evaluation does inform the LR,SD that it must determine whther it has a literacy program at grades 6-12 and, as well, assess the need to communicate the content of the program to teachers. See Evaluation at 43 (first paragraph}. 6 / STANDARD The program being evaluated should be described and documented clearly and accurately, so that the program is clearly defined. Overview It is necessary for the evaluator to gain a solid understanding of the program being evaluated, including both the way it was intended to be and the way it actually was implemented, and to convey this description to others. Failure to gain such understanding will lead to an evaluation that, when completed, is likely to be of questionable use. A valid characterization of a program as it actually was implemented will describe its unique features and component parts in order to facilitate comparisons of the program with similar programs. A good description of the program will also facilitate attempts to associate components of the program with its effects. * GUIDELINES A. Ask the client and the other stakeholders to describe orally, and, if possible, in wri ting--the intended and actual program with reference to such characteristics .as personnel, cost, procedures, location, facilities, setting, activities, objectives, natrire of participation, and potential side effects ... C. Engage independ~nt observers to describe the program if time and budget permit. D. Set aside time at the beginning of the evaluation to observe the program and the staff and participants who are involved ... (1 2 .) The LRSD provides as one comprehensive evaluation \"An Evaluation of Mathematics and Science Programs in the Little Rock School District from 1998 to 2003\" (December 2003 ) . The dos:;ument provides only a brief general description of the math and science programs evaluated. [at 9-10] It notes the phasing in of the program in the period 1998-1999 to 2002-03 [at 7-~], with grades 10-12 reached in the school year 200 ?. -03. [i3t. 9] The evaluation recognizes the importance of actual implemen~ation in the classroom. [at 11, 106, 107] It identifies three methods utilized 7 / to secure data on this matter, but does not report any results. [at - 11] With regard to the description of the program evaluated and its implementation, this evaluation falls short of the LRSD and professional standards cited above. Consequently, one can not determine whether the program or any component of it is responsible for any of the outcomes cited in the report. ( 13.) The weakness of the \"Page 148\" evaluations also evidences the lack of capacity of the LRSD to fulfill paragraphs (a) and (A) of the Compliance Remedy. [Mem. Opin. at 170-171] See infra, para. 15 and (14.) The ODM Report of March 30, 2no4, states: \"Contrary to the spirit of the regulation for program evaluation, the [LRSD] literacy evaluation team's involvement was limited to tacit approval of . the evaluation  plan and assisting with data - collection . \" [at 16] This is a negative factor in terms of the system's developing internal capacity for conducting evaluations and assessments . B. The Preparation of the Page 148 Evaluations (15.) The LRSD did not comply in substance with the requirement of the court-ordered remedy that it [prepare] the program evaluations identified on page 148 of the Final Compliance Report . [Compliance Remedy, Mem. Opin. at 170] The evaluations filed by the LRSD on March 14, 2003 do not satisfy the sLandards for evaluations set forth in Regulation ~LRl, o~ the professional standards on which they are ~ased. See \"The Joshua Intervenors' Comments on the Submission of Page 148 8 'Evaluations,'\" filed April 14, 2003; ODM Report, March 30, 2004, - at 21 (citing views of Dr. Ross \"that, for the most part, the evaluations of the subject programs 'were worthless'\" and \"that the evaluations were of little or no use to the district.\") C. The Use of Evaluation and Assessment Results (16.) The LRSD provides no discussion of any use made of the results of evaluation/assessment in the science area . [ODM report, March 30, 2004 at 15] (17.) The LRSD did not use the \"page 148 [evaluations]\" \"as part of the program assessment process, to determine the effectiveness of those programs in improving African American achievement and whether, based on the evaluations, any changes or modifications should be made in those programs.\" [Compliance Remedy, Mem.Opin . . Qt 171-7-2] Th:e1.-e is no suggestion of such use in either the March 14, 2003 submission or the March 12, 2004 submission of the LRSD; see also ODM report, March 30, 2004 at 22. D. The Failure of the LRSD to Provide Information ( 18.) Subsequent to the court's entry of the Compliance Remedy, the LRSD has acted in a manner to limit the availability of information about its compliance activities . (a) LRSD Policy IL-Rl (\"Program Evaluation Agenda\") adopted by the LRSD on October 10, 2002, provides in part (at 5) that the \"team leader\" for each evaluation shall G. Plan wa vs to Provide reaular oroaress reports {e.g., dissemination of meeting minutes, written progress reports, oral reoorts to the Superintendent's Cabinet an.d\\or Compliance team) to stakeholders, including the Associate ' Superintendent for Instruction, the Superintendent of Schools, _the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (until Unitary Status is achieved), 9 / and the Joshua Intervenors (until Unitary Status is achieved). - Thereafter , the LRSD did not implement this provision . (b) On April 8, 2003, as part of the Section 8 process, counsel for the Joshua Intervenors directed a letter to the LRSD concerning the plan for carrying out evaluations and the provision to Joshua of information on observation of the educational program within several schools . The LRSD ignored this letter, Attachment A hereto. (c) The Joshua also discussed their concerns regarding the LRSD's implementation of the Compliance Remedy in a letter to Ms. Ann Marshall, ODM on March 10, 2004, a copy of which was provided to counsel for the school district. hereto. E . Other Factors This letter is Attachment B LRSD submissions subsequent to the court's entry of the Compliance Remedy do not show that in that period the district worked with the Arkansas Department of Education to remediate the racial academic achievement disparities which continue to exist in the LRSD. See, for example, the test data in the math-science evaluation. The LRSD did not comply with the requirements of the Pulaski . County School District Desegregation Case Settlement Agreement, March 1989 (as Revised September 28 , 1989), Section IIIF( a,c), III-G . CONCLUSTON The LRSD has neither completed adequately the products which this court required, nor demonstrated the capacity to carry on 10 adequately in the evaluation/assessment sphere without court - supervision and monitoring. Therefore, the LRSD motion should be denied and supervision and monitoring should continue for a minimum of two additional school years.

As you will recall, Ann Marshall has chaired two meetings on this matter. Joshua lntervenors requested that the LRSD a.dd to the matters to be the subject of full evaluation the providing of interventions for students failing to meet standards. We took the position that this area is of particular importance to the class which. we represent. We also requested that the evaluation standards be.modified to guarantee that the outside -consultant is in charge of the evaluation product for the area for which he or she is hired. We have had no respoo:')e as to whether the LRSD school board has adopted our two suggestions. Please inform us of the school board's decision on each of these matters and the date of action by the Board. At each of the meeting chaired by Ms. Marshall, we were informed by Dr Lesley about detailed reviews of teaching practices and other factors within several schools. We were.twice told that we would receive copies of the reports for these schools. We have yet to receive the reports and ask that they be provided promptly. At the second meeting, Dr. Lesley indicated that she had in mind ex~erts to recommend to work on each of the comprehensive evaluations. However, she declined at that time to identify those persons. Please inform us of the experts who have been selected to work on each of the evaluations and provide us with a copy of the curriculum vitae if we have not already been provided a copy. ff the schedule for producing the comprehensive evaluations has been changed, please provide us a copy of the revised schedule. As we are in need of deciding whether to raise any of these matters before the court, . we / Attachment A Page 2 - Letter dated April 8, 2003 would appreciate a prompt response to this letter.

Now that we have the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals decision, it is very clear that the ~ourt  is c.011ceri-1ed, a s ;;,.re are, about impr.uving the acadernic .achit:vement OI ...~ _Jiica!I~l...m.erica:r1 students. o.ur belief is th.at ~11 of the components oftheJ?lan were intended to work :hand in glove' to that end. When we last met with your office after having invoked the .process set forth in the Plan regarding compliance issues, there were numerous areas of disagreement with respect to the D_i.strict's obligations. Those areas have not been resolved. Moreover, we did not reach agreements on whether all pro grams as set forth in the March 15, 2001 Compliance Rep0rt were to be evaluated or which ones indeed were to be evaluated. Little Rock took the position that it would only evaluate literacy and math. We resisted that position then and we do so now because such limitation does not address the very pur_poses of the evaluations in the first place. Dr. Bonnie Lesley and Chris Heller were the District's representatives at the conference with you. Joy Springer, Bob Pressman and I (for a short while) represented Joshua. Since Dr. Lesley has left the District we have had no :further contact with anyone from the District for the purpose offollowup discussions regarding the subject. On or about January 15, 2004, I received two lengthy reports from the District entitled: 1) Little Rock Literacy Prow.am Evaluation; and 2) An Evaluation.of Mathematics \u0026amp; Science Programs in the Little Rock Sahool District from 1998 to 2003. They were sent without explanation or an invitation for discussion. 1:vJr. Heller was aware that we had invoked the process o.utlined in the Plan and that apparently your office was awaiting more responses from LRSD before having more followup meeting between Joshua and Lit'-J.e Rock. We have received the updates you have sent the parties as, you have monitored LRSD's program evaluation. 1 1 / Attachment B We have now completed our initial review and discussion regarding those evaluations and find not only do they fail to address all of the programs that.we negotiated to be evaluated but, that inter alia, the evaluations are keyed to \"No Child Left Behind\" mandates or State  accountability mandates. They appear to be less keyed to the explicrt outcome objectives of the plan or to the evaluation processes the district adopted in its cqmpliance plan and regulations. While Mr. Heller has contended that there are no outcome requirements of the plan, it was certainly a promised expectation that programswould be altered, modified, and improved upon their inadequacies and then nonworking programs which failed to remediate achievement disparity would be eliminated and replaced. The objective we expect is that achievement of black school children will be not less than 90% of the achievement of white school children. I believe that the program evaluations that have been presented miss their mark on many counts, some of which I now bring to your,attention as the process facilitator with a notation that these comments are also being delivered to Mr. Heller for the District's :use. These evaluations address only literacy, math and science which certainly are not all the programs that are related to improving and remediati.ng the academic achievement of African American students. I call your attention to the Court's Order of September 13, 2002, pag~ 168. I am also informing Judge Wilson of our serious concerns regarding the deficiencies of the program evaluations. Our list is not comprehensive because we need to 1) thoroughly review the evaluations, 2) have discussions via the process and the study itself and 3) have more information regarding the District's intentions. 1) Joshua remains concerned about the lack of achievement for African American students at virtually all grade levels. 2) The literacy report does not identify any significant relationship or  correlation between the literacy programs implemented by LRSD and the achievement of Afiican American students. 3) Neither the literacy report nor the math/science report addressed African American student achievement by grade level, achievement by school or specific remediation mastery by student, grade level or school. None of the curricular programs in the study had a significant impact on student achievement in 5th grade, for exampie. 4) The literacy report (page 45) makes the 'surprising' notation that substantial differences exist in the overall achievement of African American students and other students in the Little Rock School District. This conclusion ii; in large part, what this action is intended to correct. Joshua interprets that notation to mean that the programs that have been utilized have :o.ot successfully addressed African American  student achievement nor have they been modified or replaced by others which promise greater success. It surely cannot mean that the objective is impossiqle to attain. 2 / I 5) The control groups utilized for the literacy report raise another concern. In this report, a significant number of the students, almost half of them, in the District appear to be eliminated from the study. 6) The literacy report contains formative information through a few teacher focus groups, however, this data is not inclusive of the total teacher population responsible for remediation of African American student achievement. Therefore, Joshua must conclude that such information is skewed at best. 7) Joshua recalls the representations of Dr. Bonnie Lesley during her court testimony that the achievement gap in grades K-2 had been eliminated according to her DRA assessments during the 2001-2002 school year. The 2003 literacy evaluation submitted by the District now contradicts her :findings in that approximately half of the African American students during 2002-2003 in 4th. grade were performing Below Basic. Those second grade students would appear to be the 4th. graders now performing below basic. Surely there are sufficient data to prepare an evaluation of literacy in these grades (K-2) and for the District to be able to track their individual performances through Dr. Lesley's data. I read that the Court's Order, Page i 70, paragraph A , contemplates the use of this data, i.e., \"LRSD now has over three years of testing data ..... \" 8) Joshua remains concerned regarding the District's ability to accurately record, collect, retain and retrieve student achievement data. 9) There is no discussion regarding-the participation .of African.American students in Pre-AP and AP courses :which were allegedly instituted to address African American achievement. Nor is there any evaluation of the District's tutoring programs or other pro grams aimed at improving African American performance. 10) The report indicates that African American students had substantially lower absolute performance than did other students. The academic gains on literary tests were lower for African American students than for other students. The evaluations do not compare the achievement ofBencbmark exams of 4th or 8th grade students for 2001 or 2002 scoring Below Basic .in successive years. Moreover, the SAT 9 test results for higher grade students reflect a need for more information. 11) The District was inconsistent in providing the necessary support for teachers to attend necessary literacy training (Reading Recovery, Effective Literary and ELLA). . -~ 12) The evaluation reports discussed prnfessional development in literacy and mathematics while ignoring the three major professional development commitments in the March 15, 2001 compliance report. .., .J The foregoing list is merely suggestive; it is not exhaustive. Because ofyqur designated role, I am requesting that Judge Wtlson involve your office in preparing a comprehensive monitoring report of the District's compliance with its student achievement commitments by use of the evaluation process. That I believe was a role envisioned for OD.M by both the Court Of Appeals and by the District Court as well. I will be filing the necessary papers to that end, but in the meantime would you kindly advise me as to the status of our having already invoked the process set forth by the plan.

I hope you have an opportunity to visit all or some of these schools. You will be pleased with the results. An architectural firm has been selected for the remodeling of the original buildings at Forest Heights Middle School that were constructed in 1956.

Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Dr. Holmes: Ref: 06995008 The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Southern Division, Dallas Office, has completed a review of the progress reports, which were submitted to OCR by the Little Rock School District (LRSD), Little Rock, Arkansas, to address the specific actions taken by the LRSD to ensure the provision of equal educational opportunities and services to national origin language-minority students who are limited English proficient (LEP). The LRSD voluntarily submitted a Commitment to Resolve (CTR), which was accepted by OCR on September 30, 1999, to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), 42 U.S.C.  2000d, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), 29 U.S.C.  794, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title II), 42 U.S.C.  12131- 12161, and their implementing regulations. In the progress reports, the LRSD provided OCR with documentation pertinent to the implementation of the CTR. Based on a review of the progress reports and additional information gathered during the on-site monitoring visits conducted by OCR on December 10- 11, 2002, and March 11-13, 2003, OCR has determined that the LRSD has satisfactorily fulfilled the terms specified in the CTR. Provided below, by commitment provision, is an explanation of how OCR reached this determination: Identification of Students With a Primary Home Language Other Than English The progress reports revealed that, at the beginning of the 1999-2000 school year, the LRSD administered a Home Language Survey (HLS) to all students to identify those students who have a primary (first-learned) or home language (language influence) that is other than English (PHLOTE). In addition, the information revealed that the LRSD directed staff (i.e., principals, counselors, registrars, and secretaries) at every school site and at the Student Assignment Center to secure a completed HLS for all students upon initial emollment. Further, the LRSD developed a procedure that allows for other methods of identifying 1999 BRYAN STREET.

Interim Superintendent PHLOTE students based on teacher referral, counselor recommendation, and interviews with parents. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Assessment of PHLOTE Students A review of the progress reports revealed that the LRSD developed and implemented procedures for assessing PHLOTE students in all four English language proficiency areas (i.e., speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension) to determine which students are LEP. The information reviewed revealed that the LRSD assessed and/or reassessed all PHLOTE students by administering an assessment instrument (i.e., Language Assessment Scales). The information further revealed that the LRSD provided training to all LRSD staff responsible for administering the assessment instrument to ensure proper test administration and interpretation of test scores. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Placement of LEP Students and Ensuring Appropriate Services The progress reports revealed that the LRSD developed and implemented a policy requiring the district to provide alternative language program (ALP) services to LEP students through a research-based English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) program. Information reviewed revealed that PHLOTE students who score at a level 1, 2, and 3 on the Language Assessment Scales (LAS) are identified as LEP and are placed in the ESL program after obtaining consent from the parent/guardian of the student. The information showed that PHLOTE students who score at a level 4, and 5 on the LAS are considered fluent in the English language and are identified as non-LEP and, as a result, are placed in the regular education program. A review of information revealed that the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC), which is comprised of at least one or more ESL teachers, a counselor, and a campus administrator, is responsible for making placement decisions. The information revealed that the LRSD provided training to LP AC members as follows: 1) OCR, state, and LRSD laws, policies, and regulations governing LEP programs and services\n2) interpretation of language proficiency assessments\n3) laws and rules governing confidentiality of records\nand 4) procedures for identification, placement, and exiting students from the ALP. The LPAC is responsible for ensuring that the parents of LEP students placed in the ALP receive an explanation of the benefits of the ALP in a language they can understand. The information indicated that the LRSD ensures the delivery of language support services to LEP students whose parents have refused placement in the ALP by providing training to regular education teachers in ESL methodologies and instructional strategies, parental involvement, tutoring, summer school, and by monitoring the academic progress of such students. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. .!I.,I m ~ zz ,m.. n ::c \u0026gt;z G) m U\u0026gt; Page 3 - Dr. Morris Holmes. Interim Superintendent Selected Alternative Language Services Model The progress reports revealed that the LRSD selected a research-based English-as-a-SecondLanguage (ESL) program to address the affective, linguistic, and cognitive needs of LEP students at all grade levels. The information showed that the goal of the ESL program is to enable LEP students to master English language skills (i.e., reading, writing, speaking, and listening) and content area concepts and skills so that students are able to participate meaningfully in the regular education program. A review of the progress reports revealed that the LRSD established the same curriculum standards and grade-level/course benchmarks for all students, including LEP students. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Staffing and Staff Development The progress reports revealed that the LRSD developed procedures to ensure that the district has appropriate staff to implement the ALP. The information in the progress reports showed that the LRSD made significant progress with respect to the number of teachers who obtained an ESL endorsement through the Arkansas Department of Education's \"ESL Endorsement Program.\" In addition, the information revealed that the LRSD has developed an \"ESL Training Program\" to provide continuous training opportunities for all personnel (e.g., principals, regular education, special education, gifted and talented, etc.) responsible for delivering instruction to LEP students. Specifically, the LRSD provides training to staff on how to adapt the instructional strategies, materials, pacing, and assessments for the delivery of instruction to LEP students. Further, the progress reports revealed that the LRSD designed an appraisal instrument to assess the performance of teachers who deliver ALP services to LEP students. OCR reviewed documentation pertaining to the training provided to administrators on the use of the evaluation instrument and on observation techniques to enable them to identify ESL methodologies. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Materials The LRSD developed procedures to ensure that materials and equipment are appropriate for the implementation of the ALP. The progress report revealed that the LRSD surveyed ALP staff to determine whether there was a need for additional materials and equipment. The information showed that the LRSD provided teachers with materials and equipment, which are appropriate to the curriculum, and comparable in quality, availability, and grade level to the materials provided for the instruction of non-LEP students. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. .!D., m ~\"' z z ,m.... 0 $: z C) m \"' Page 4 - Dr. Morris Holmes. Interim Superintendent Reclassification and Exit The progress reports revealed that the LRSD established and implemented procedures for the exiting, monitoring, and reclassification of LEP students. The information indicated that the criteria employed by the LRSD is based on objective criteria using the LAS test scores in reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension plus other criteria to determine whether students will be able to participate meaningfully in the regular education program. A review of the information showed that a LEP student must score a \"3/4\" or a \"3/5\" or at the Fully English Proficient Level on the LAS post-test prior to exiting the ALP. The information revealed that the LPAC monitors the academic progress of LEP students who exit the ALP for a period of two years to ensure academic success in the regular education program. Specifically, the LPAC ensures that exited students are successfully participating in the regular education program by reviewing the following: I) grades in all core subject areas\n2) teacher observations\n3) counselor comments\nand 4) assessment results. When the LPAC determines that a student needs to re-enter the ESL program, the student is placed back into the ALP after obtaining approval from the parent of the student. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Parental Notice The LRSD developed procedures for providing notice to the parents of PHLOTE students of school activities in a language they can understand. The progress reports revealed that the schools maintain a list of all PHLOTE students whose parents are limited English proficient and require communication in another language. OCR reviewed the documents which have been translated by the LRSD, to include but not limited to the following: Home Language Survey, Notice of School Placement, Notice of ESL Program Services, Notice of Testing Exemption, Exit Letter to Parents, K-8 Curriculum Standards and Grade-Level/Course Benchmarks, Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbooks, Summer School Applications, Parent Involvement Conference Notices, and the LRSD's Parent/Student Handbook. In addition, the information showed that bilingual staff at the schools translated newsletters, notices, letters, and flyers into other languages. Further, the LRSD advertises information in local publications in Spanish. The information showed that the LRSD disseminated a list of translators/interpreters to the school sites. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Special Education The progress reports showed that the LRSD revised its policies and procedures pertaining to the process for referring, identifying, evaluating, and placing LEP students with disabilities. The progress reports revealed that ALP staff and Special Education Department staff share information to ensurethat LEP students with disabilities receive special education and alternative language services concurrently.

Further, the progress reports revealed that the LRSD provides information to parents in a language they can understand pertaining to their rights and procedural safeguards by utilizing an interpreter or by providing information that has been translated into a language they can understand. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Special Opportunity Programs The progress reports revealed that the LRSD implemented procedures to ensure that LEP students are afforded an equal opportunity to participate in the Gifted and Talented (GT) program at the elementary level and in Pre-Advanced Placement and Advanced Placement courses at the secondary level. The information reviewed revealed that the LRSD provided information about the GT program to parents in their native language. In addition, the progress reports revealed that the LRSD staff administered a nonverbal assessment instrument (i.e., Torrance Thinking Creatively) to test LEP students who had been referred for placement in the GT program. The progress reports further revealed that the LRSD provided cultural sensitivity training, training in identifying the characteristics of language minority gifted students, and ESL instructional strategies to LRSD staff. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Program Evaluation and Modification A review of the progress reports revealed that the LRD has adopted procedures to conduct an annual longitudinal performance evaluation of the ALP and make modifications to the ALP based on the results as required by the results of the program evaluation. The information showed that the LRSD evaluated its ALP on an annual basis in which it reviewed the following: 1) curriculum service delivery\n2) materials and resources\n3) staffing and staff development\n4) student academic progress\n5) longitudinal data comparing LEP students to non-LEP students. and LEP students in the program to LEP students not in the program wiL'li respect to academic achievement, attendance, drop-out rate, graduation rate, retention rate, gifted and talented program placement, and special education program placement of LEP, and students who have exited the ALP, and LEP students not served in the ALP. The information showed that the LRSD made the necessary program modifications and improvements as required by the results of each program evaluation. Based on a review of the information, OCR has determined that the LRSD has fulfilled the terms under this provision of the CTR and complied with the OCR reporting requirements. Maintenance of Records for LEP Students The progress reports revealed that the LRSD apprised all staff of the importance of maintaining accurate records regarding the implementation of the ALP and documenting actions pertaining to students participating and exiting the ALP.

These three are summer enrichment opportunities for children (grades pre-K-12), credit recovery summer school, and the compilation and advertisement of a menu of educational opportunities for children in the Greater Little Rock area for summer 2004. Objectives-To provide greater opportunities for students to participate in educational programs during the summer that provide experiences that will:  increase students' academic knowledge, skills, and confidence.  build on prior student learning and give students a head start for the Fall 2004 school term,  provide enrichment opportunities (for all students) or credit recovery (secondary students). Expected Outcomes-Student will have access to a variety of challenging educational programs during the summer. Our school facilities will be utilized more effectively during the summer months for the benefit of students. Population-All Little Rock School District students have the potential to participate in a summer educational program. Budget Amount/Source of Budget-The budget projections for the programs are as follows:  The budget for Summer Enrichment Programs will be determined based on the number of quality proposals submitted to us at our request or in response to an RFP\nhowever, a ceiling of $150,000 is requested to fund approximately 12,000 student-days of summer enrichment.  The budget for the Credit Recovery Summer School for secondary students is $293,060 for approximately 760 students.  The cost of advertising a menu of summer programs in the city that might interest our . students and their families will be nominal. f\u0026gt; g z .\u0026gt;.. \u0026lt;5 z U\u0026gt; !.=,,' z \u0026gt;z (\") ~ U\u0026gt; Manager-Dennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent for Instruction and Dr. Marian Lacey, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Schools Duration-The current proposal is for June, July, and August, 2004. Long Range/Continuation-Greater coordination and scale-up of summer programs and after school programs will occur in the near future. A staff position will be established or reassigned to provide direction to the identification, development, coordination and oversight of all after school and summer enrichment programs. Staff members have been participating in discussions with the City of Little Rock around the issue of afterschool initiatives. Mr. W. J. Monagle with the City has been spearheading this effort. Other Agencies Involved-Hopefully, the entire community will be involved. Certainly, many city agencies, institutions of higher education, museums, art and music centers, churches, and existing organizations for boys and girls will be involved in this effort. Expectations of Staff-A staff person will be assigned primary responsibility for this effort. Many staff members are already involved in portions of summer and after school programs\nhowever, the effort is fragmented. We plan to pull all the existing programs as well as new programs under one \"umbrella.\" Expanding educational opportunities for students is an ongoing commitment for our staff. Needed Staff-One new staff position, working in Pupil Services, has been requested for the 2004-05 budget year. Many other existing staff positions have a stake in this effort and will be involved. Teachers will be hired to teach credit recovery summer school courses based on the student enrollment. Comments-We cannot afford for our students to lose significant ground in the summer. Involving students in educational summertime activities can help improve students' achievement during the traditional school year. Recommendations-We recommend approval of the three initiatives for summer educational programs. Detailed budgets will be developed as more information becomes available. Three initiatives are proposed for summertime and/or after school implementation:  Summer Enrichment Programs  Credit Recovery Summer School for Secondary Students  Menu of summer educational opportunities for students and families Summer Enrichment Programs The district solicited proposals for summer enrichment opportunities for students from Philander Smith College and The Princeton Review. Also, the district issued an RFP for summer enrichment programs that is open to the public as well as to schools and teachers. r\u0026gt; C 0 z ~ ~z en ?\u0026lt; :c ~s\no= z~ C'\u0026gt;,\"' 0 ?\u0026lt; ~ \u0026gt;C'\u0026gt; c\n,o '-m g~ ~\"'~\"' m z... . RFP-Following is the \"teaser\" for the RFP for Summer Enrichment Programs. This was emailed to all schools for posting and was advertised in the newspaper. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) RFP24-019 SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS The Little Rock School District (LRSD) is requesting proposals from qualified individuals/companies who wish to provide high quality summer instruction for students in our schools. The providers must be external educational entities\nhowever, this does not preclude schools and/or teachers from individually or collaboratively acting as informal external educational entities for this summer enrichment initiative. LRSD requires that these services be provided by individuals or groups that can demonstrate high-quality, performance based instruction founded on a research-based program of studies and successful instructional strategies supported by data. Summer Enrichment Program providers must complete an application based on this request for proposals. It is expected that proposed programs will include underserved students as a high priority and that instruction will concentrate on expanding, enriching, extending, and/or strengthening students' academic skills, knowledge, and confidence. Although the proposed programs are not limited to the areas of reading and math, reinforcement and application of reading and/or math skills should be incorporated into the programs in order to help students achieve Arkansas' standards, as demonstrated by improved performance on the Benchmark and end of course exams. Copies of the RFP and Application are available from Darral Paradis, at Darral.Paradis@lrsd.org or phone number (501) 447-2262. Proposals must be received no later than 2:00 p.m., Thursday, April 22, 2004 at the LRSD Procurement Office, 1800 East Sixth Street, Little Rock, AR 72202. The District reserves the right to reject any or all responses and waive any irregularities or formalities in proposals received. The District reserves the right to negotiate with the apparent acceptable Offerers. Awards will be based on those considerations that are in the best interest of the District and will be made to the responsive, responsible offerer whose proposal is judged to be the most effective and economical for the purpose intended, according to the requirements stated in the Request for Proposal. BY: Darral Paradis CPPB, C.P.M. I Director of Procurement The amount of funding for Summer Enrichment Programs will be contingent on the number of quality proposals\nhowever, an amount of $150,000 is requested as a ceiling. This amount could ~ C 0 z ~ cz5 u, ~ .., z \u0026gt;z n\ne u, fund up to 12,000 student days of summer enrichment experiences. A tuition charge will be considered to defray part of the cost. Credit Recovery Summer School for Secondary Students In compliance with Arkansas Statute 6-16-702, districts offering summer school for the purpose of remediating student failures must provide the program free of charge to enrolled students who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The majority of our students would be eligible for full tuition. For the 2003-04 school year, the LRSD had 5,243 students on the free lunch program and 753 on the reduced-price lunch program. Our legal advisers have examined the law and consulted with ADE, seeking clarity and any possible consideration for leniency. They found no relief for the district. A committee of administrators was formed to discuss the options for the district- to discontinue summer school or to have summer school. Issues in Favor of Continuing Summer School  Parents expect the district to provide some option for grade recovery. Historically, we have provided summer school for students who have failed courses, allowing them the opportunity to retake failed courses in order to advance to the next grade and/or to graduate.  The majority of students enrolled in summer school receive free or reduced-price lunch and would be denied another opportunity to recover skills.  Without summer school, there would be an increased number of students retained in the regular classrooms, adding to an already-crowded situation. Concern Cost to district for tuition-free summer school for identified students, estimated at $288,060 for staff salaries and $5,000 for transportation for middle school students (stops throughout the city). Detailed costs will be available later. Recommendation Because of the compelling need to continue to remove barriers for our low-performing students, we recommend that the district explore and allocate funds for summer school. f\u0026gt; 0 0 z ~ cz5 U\u0026gt; ~ .., z \u0026gt;z 0 \u0026gt;,....

Reference AR statute 6-24-101:119 (Act 1599 of 2001). Board Policy GBEA and the corresponding Administrative Directive dated May 1, 2004 are attached for your reference. Summary: The statute above precludes a school District employee from contracting with the public educational entity employing him or her if the employee has knowledge that he or she is directly interested in the contract. The Administration believes it necessary to have a Regulation in place to summarize the statute and to guide the Board and Administration in possible exceptions. Manager(s): Beverly Williams, Director, Human Resources Darral Paradis, Director, Procurement and Materials Management Recommendation We request the Board of Education review and approve Regulation GBEA-R as attached. f\u0026gt; g z ?. cz5 (J) !.=.,' z \u0026gt;z (\") ~ (J) LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: GBEA - R CONFLICT OF INTEREST - Employees selling to the District The LRSD contracts for goods and services in confonnance with statutory ethics laws and, in addition, in a manner that will avoid any conflict of interest or the appearance thereof. Accordingly, the Board will approve employees as District vendors under the statutory exception provisions only when it is clearly in the best interest of the District. General Prohibitions and Guidelines for Statutory Exceptions: In general, except as provided below, it is a breach of statutory ethical standards for an employee to contract with the District if the employee has knowledge that he or she is directly interested in the contract. The Board by exception may under unusual and limited circumstances approve an employee's business as a District vendor if the Board determines that the potential vendor relationship is in the best interest of the District. In such cases, the Board will document the approval by written resolution after fully disclosing the reasons justifying the potential vendor relationship in an open meeting in confonnance with AR law. Following are the guidelines for these exceptions: I. No exceptions will be allowed for District Administrators (defined as Director-level and above) who are directly or indirectly interested in a contract since these individuals are in District-wide decision making positions. In addition, any employee on a District Administrative salary schedule is prohibited from conducting business with family members. 2. District Administrator's family members who have a financial interest in a business as defined by AR law may contract with the District only after appearing before the Board of Directors explaining why their particular vendor circumstance should be considered unusual and limited. In the event the Board by resolution approves the business as a District vendor, the District may contract with the family member's company for transactions of any amount for a fiscal year provided the services/commodities are procured on a competitive basis and where the family member company's offer is the lowest received. However, the ADE must first have approved the District resolution before any contract will be valid or enforceable. 3. Under no circumstances will it be authorized for the District to do business with an employee when the employee regardless of their salary schedule placement or position has the ability to set the specifications for purchase and choose and/or recommend the vendor. 4. Non-Administrative employees (defined as any employee below Director-level) who are directly interested in a contract may conduct business with the District only after appearing before the Board of Directors explaining why their particular vendor circumstance should be considered unusual and limited. In the event the Board by resolution approves the employee as a District vendor, the District may contract with the employee's company: Adopted: a. for transactions totaling up to $5,000 for a fiscal year provided the services/commodities are procured on a competitive basis and where the employee company's offer is the lowest received or\nb. for transactions expected to exceed $5,000 for a fiscal year provided the services/commodities are procured on a competitive basis and where the employee company's offer is the lowest received. However, the ADE must first have approved the District resolution before any contract will be valid or enforceable or\nc. where competitive quoting/bidding is not practical regardless of dollar amount due to the nature of the service or commodity (sole source) provided the ADE has first approved the District resolution in those cases expected to exceed $5,000.

The parties never reached any agreement related to Joshua's concerns about the Board-approved Compliance Plan. Joshua waived any objections to the Board-approved Compliance Plan by failing to present them to the Court as required by Paragraph \"D\" of the Compliance Remedy. 4. The Board-approved Compliance Plan interpreted Paragraphs \"A\" and \"B\" of the Compliance Remedy as requiring the LRSD to: (1) continue to administer student assessments through the first semester of 2003-04\n(2) develop written procedures for evaluating the programs implemented pursuant to Revised Plan  2.7 to determine their effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students\n(3) maintain written records of ( a) the criteria used to evaluate each program, (b) the results of the annual student assessments, including whether an informal program evaluation resulted in program modifications or the elimination of any programs, and (c) the names of the administrators who were involved with the evaluation of each program, as well as at least a grade level description of any teachers who were involved in the evaluation process\nand ( 4) prepare a comprehensive program evaluation of each academic program implemented pursuant to Revised Plan  2.7 to determine its effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students and to decide whether to modify or replace the program. See Compliance Plan, p. 3. 5. Continue to administer student assessments through the first semester of 2003- 04. Page 2 of 6 To meet this requirement, the LRSD implemented the 2002-03 Board-approved assessment --- -e .,tM it,~ \"? plan. ~W,\u0026lt;1 Pl/AM 6. Develop written procedures for evaluating the programs implemented pursuant to 2. 7 to determine their effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students. The Board adopted regulation IL-Rl when it approved the Compliance Plan. Regulation ILRl set forth the written procedures for evaluating the 2.7 programs. 7. Maintain written records of(a) the criteria used to evaluate each program\n(b) the results of the annual student assessments, including whether an informal program evaluation resulted in program modifications or the elimination of any programs\nand (c) the names of the administrators who were involved with the evaluation of each program, as well as at least a grade level description of any teachers who were involved in the evaluation process. Regulation IL-Rl outlined the criteria to be used to evaluate each program. As to the results of annual student assessments, the LRSD continues to maintain a computer database with the results of annual students assessments administered pursuant to the Board-approved assessmen1. plan. Exhibit B attached hereto identified the members of each team. Exhibits C, D and E document informal modifications of the mathematics, elementary literacy and secondary literacy programs, respectively. 8. Prepare a comprehensive program evaluation of each academic program implemented pursuant to 2.7 to determine its effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students and to decide whether to modify or replace the program. The LRSD contracted with Dr. Steve Ross, an expert approved by Joshua, to prepare comprehensive evaluations of the District's elementary and secondary literacy programs. These evaluations, combined in a single report, were completed and approved by the Board in November of2003 and are attached hereto as Exhibit F. Dr. Don Wold, a program evaluator funded through Page 3 of 6 a National Science Foundation (\"NSF\") grant\nDennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction\nand Vanessa Cleaver, Director of the NSF Grant, authored the comprehensive mathematics and science evaluation. The comprehensive mathematics and science evaluation was completed and approved by the Board in December 2003 and is attached hereto as Exhibit G. 9. The LRSD substantially complied with the Revised Plan and the Court's Compliance \u0026lt;f' Remedy by implementation of the Board-approved Compliance Plan. 10. By letter dated January 12, 2004, copies of the comprehensive evaluations were provided to counsel for the Joshua Intervenors, and counsel was asked to advise the District of any \"questions or concerns\" about these evaluations. In a fax dated March 8, 2004, counsel for the Joshua Intervenors wrote: I have reviewed your evaluations and find that they are grossly inadequate and incomplete. In addition to that I am still awaiting the evaluations of the other remaining programs which were contemplated by our agreement. Because we have already invoked the process required by the court, I am putting ODM on notice of our position. The LRSD denies that it agreed to prepare evaluations other than those described in the Board- ti' approved Compliance Plan. WHEREFORE, the LRSD submits the program evaluations as required by paragraphs \"A\" and \"B\" of the Court's Compliance Remedy. The LRSD prays that the Court find that the LRSD has substantially complied with Revised Plan  2. 7.1, as specified in the Compliance Remedy\nthat the LRSD is unitary with regard to all aspects of school operations\nand that it be released from all further supervision and monitoring of its desegregation efforts.

Capitol, Suite 3400 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Mr. Dennis Hanson Office of the Attorney General 323 Center Street 200 Tower Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 In our letter dated October 11, 2002, we asked the parties to specifically identify in writing any perceived deficiency in the Board-approved Compliance Plan on or before Monday, October 21, 2002. No responses were received on or before that date. However, Mr. Pressman called on October 21, 2002, and advised that Joshua would rely on the comments contained in Mr. Walker's October 10, 2002, facsimile. On October 24, 2002, additional comments were received from Mr. Walker. All of Mr. Walker's comments will be addressed in turn. i.. EXHIBIT I A All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page2 October 10, 2002 Facsimile 1. More consideration is needed of the programs to be identified as \"implementat[ ed] pursuant to Section 2.7 ... \", which are to be subjected to \"comprehensive program evaluation ... \" Your document at page 7 identifies three areas. We note the absence of specific reference and detail regarding interventions/ \"scaffolding\" - areas of vital importance given the achievement patterns of African-American students. We note also that the LRSD compliance report cited many more programs as designed to fulfill Section 2.7. Mr. Pressman clarified this concern during our October 21, 2002 telephone conversation. Mr. Pressman explained that Joshua was concerned that interventions designed to assist low achieving students, for example SAIPs, were not being fully implemented and wanted some assurance that the comprehensive program evaluations would assess implementation of these programs. LRSD RESPONSE: On October 24, 2002, the Board approved the Division of Instruction's \"Plan to Support Low-Performing Schools,\" a copy of which is enclosed for your review. Under that plan, the LRSD will conduct curriculum, instruction and classroom management audits at low performing schools. Data gathered through these audits and other monitoring under the plan may be used by a program evaluation team to identify possible causes of poor performance, including poor implementation of interventions such as SAIPs. The LRSD lacks the resources to implement this plan at every school. Approximately 10 schools will receive the full compliment of services outlined in the plan. Those 10 schools will be identified based on the priority system set forth in the plan. 2. In a discussion prior to his testimony in the hearing [before] Judge Wilson, we understood Dr. Ross to indicate that the existing evaluation of the PreK-2 literacy program was not adequate. The notation on page 4 of your document of the changed use of the Observation Survey and the DRA relates to part of the concerns he expressed. This undermines the LRSD argument (page 11) that the existing evaluation, upon Board approval, will satisfy a part of the Court's remedy. LRSD RESPONSE: As the LRSD understands this statement, Joshua objects to the LRSD considering the PreK-2 literacy evaluation to have been completed pursuant to Paragraph C of the Compliance Remedy. Attached are the comments received by the LRSD from Dr. Ross related to that evaluation. As can be seen, Dr. Ross did not advise the LRSD that the evaluation was \"inadequate.\" Moreover, it does not make sense for the LRSD to expend resources to have this evaluation \"completed\" by an outside expert while it also prepares a new, comprehensive evaluation of the same program with the assistance of an outside expert. All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page3 3. The LRSD discussion about satisfying the court's order regarding the evaluations mentioned at page 148 of the compliance report does not seem to talce account of the material provided, which describes an adequate evaluation. LRSD RESPONSE: As the LRSD understands this statement, Joshua objects to the LRSD not completing the evaluations identified on page 148 of the Final Compliance Report in a manner consistent with IL-RI. As the LRSD understands Paragraph C of the Compliance Remedy, the / District Court simply wants the LRSD to do what it said it did and complete the evaluations identified on page 148 of the Final Compliance Report. That is what the LRSD intends to do. It is true that those evaluations, even after being completed, may not be model program evaluations as envisioned by IL-Rl. The LRSD decided, however, that the most prudent use of its limited resources would be to focus on the new, comprehensive evaluations of programs designed to improve African-American achievement. 4. We question the period of implementation of a remedy which the court has identified and, therefore, the LRSD schedule. LRSD RESPONSE: The LRSD is willing to agree that any agreement between the LRSD and Joshua related to implementation of the Compliance Remedy will not prejudice Joshua's appeal of the District Court's September 13, 2002, Memorandum Opinion. October 24, 2002 Facsimile 1. In using historical student assignment results, attention should be given to the quality of the data. In the past, LRSD has used results on the [D]RA and the Observation Survey in ways not consistent with the purposes of those instruments. In adpition, because teachers provided scores for their own students, the past use made of the data was in conflict with the district's recognition in the newly enacted Regulation IL-RI that \"Conflict of Interest\" must be avoided. LRSD RESPONSE: Paragraph A of the Compliance Remedy requires the LRSD to use all available data in its evaluations. It will be the responsibility of the evaluation team to weigh the reliability and validity of the available data. The Arkansas Department of Education and national organizations \\ with expertise in early literacy recommend the use of the DRA and Observation Surveys. The J primary purpose of those assessments is to determine whether students are learning the essential components of the reading curriculum. As to the integrity of the data from those assessments, the LRSD monitored student scores year-to-year to discourage teachers from inflating scores in an effort to show improvement. Moreover, the ultimate success of the LRSD's early literacy program will I - All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page4 be judged by performance on the State's Benchmark examinations, rather than the DRA and Observation Surveys. 2. We are concerned about the manner in which the regulation describes the \"team\" process for preparing evaluations, again in the context of\"conflict of interest.\" In order to insure that \"conflict of interest\" is avoided, the \"external consultant\" needs to write the report and control the -context of the analysis. Paragraphs 3, 5 and 6 of the \"Program Evaluation Procedures\" do not guarantee that the external expert will have these roles. Of course, if reports were prepared in the manner which we describe, there would be no bar to LRSD staff preparing comments to the Board with a differing interpretation of the evaluation results. LRSD RESPONSE: The LRSD rejects the implication that LRSD personnel cannot be trusted to write an honest program evaluation. The LRSD's commitment to improving student achievement is second to none. To fulfill that commitment, it is in the LRSD's best interest to effectively evaluate its Ero grams. The success of the programs and program evaluations will ulhmately be measured by the State's Benchmark evaluations. All evaluation team members will be actively involved in the evaluation process and are expected to provide a check against the self-interest of any one team member. The evaluation team will decide who writes the report based on the expertise of team members. The outside expert will be asked to take to the Superintendent any concerns about the evaluation not being addressed by the evaluation team. The outside expert will also be asked to be present when the evaluation is presented to the Board so that the Board can be advised of any concerns the outside expert may have about the final evaluation. 3. We continue to be concerned about the global, general manner in which the content of planned evaluations is described (page 7 of the document, first paragraph). For example, the Board has adopted a policy and two regulations dealing with remediation for students whose performance is below par. Studying the actual implementation of these standards (in all or a representative sample of schools) is of vital importance to the Intervenor class because class members are so much more likely than other students to exhibit unsatisfactory performance on the Benchmark and Stanford Achievement Tests. A satisfactory description by the School Board of the evaluations which it requires the staff to undertake should make clear that the actual implementation of remediation activities in district schools is to receive careful consideration. This is surely an important contextual factor (see \"Accuracy Standards,\" para. 2). LRSD RESPONSE: As the LRSD understands this comment, it is a restatement of the first number paragraph in Mr. Walker's October 10, 2002 facsimile, and the LRSD hereby incorporates its response thereto. All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page 5 4. We understand from the Plan that the LRSD plans evaluations of programs deemed to be particularly directed to achievement of African-American students for the indefinite term, not simply for the period necessary to satisfy the court. We would like to receive the Board's assurance that this is the case. LRSD RESPONSE: The Board's approval ofIL-Rl was not limited to the term of the Compliance Remedy, and at this time, the Board anticipates continuing to evaluate programs pursuant to Policy IL after the term of the Compliance Remedy. Conclusion The LRSD hopes that it has been able to address all of Joshua's concerns. If any party has any questions about the LRSD's responses to Joshua's comments, we ask that those be submitted in writing, and the LRSD will promptly provide a written response. If Joshua continues to have concerns about the LRSD's Compliance Plan, Joshua should consider this the LRSD's written response to alleged noncompliance in accordance with Revised Plan 8. Pursuant to Revised Plan 8.2.4, Joshua has 15 days ofreceipt of this letter to submit the issue to ODM for facilitation of an agreement. Thank you for your cooperation.

EXHIBIT I B Program Modifications Based on Informal Program Evaluation Elementary Mathematics 2001-02  An item analysis of 4th Grade Benchmark Data for 2000-01 reveals that students perform lowest on the geometry strand. (Note-The State Math Framework and NCTM National Standards for Mathematics contain 5 strands: number sense, geometry, probability and statistics, algebra, and measurement.) The analysis of data from the Benchmark Exam consisted of identifying the strand of each item, ranking the items from highest to lowest, and looking for trends in the data.  Program modifications made based on the low performance on geometry items was:  Train teachers to do item analyses for their own schools.  Work with teachers to discern reasons why students struggled with the specific geometry items (the released items were available for review).  Develop strategies for increasing the focus on geometry in the elementary mathematics curriculum.  School by school analysis of 4th Grade Benchmark Data for 2000-01 (and prior years) revealed different levels of achievement by schools that were demographically similar. Classroom observations in these schools by elementary\\ math/science lead teachers confirmed that the level of implementation of the . ) elementary mathematics curriculum was different from school to school. Schools with a higher level of implementation were having higher student achievement than schools who were not implementing the curriculum at that high level.  A program modification made based on uneven achievement at similar schools was to have principals identify a lead person in their schools to receive intensive and sustained training to serve as a \"coach\" for other teachers (See list of Math Support Personnel for LRSD).  Sara Hogg, UALR Mathematics Specialist, was utilizec'1 to provide monthly \"coaches\" training so that additional implementation support would be available at each school. A variety of types of training has been provided by Ms. Hogg, much of it directed at greater knowledge of strategies for implementing our elementary mathematics curriculum.  Another program modification made as a result of uneven achievement among schools was to begin a process of changing the way professional development for teachers is structured. In the past most professional development for elementary mathematics has been district-led (e.g., all third grade teachers go to a district-led training on the 3rd grade mathematics curriculum). The modification has been to shift more focus on site-based professional development. The \"Lesson Study' and \"Study Group\" approach was begun with elementary mathematics teachers to allow them more responsibility and accountability for their own training needs. ) 2002-03   The same item analysis was completed for 2001-02 4th grade Benchmark Data . Results of this analysis showed that students had gained in the area of geometry . The lowest strands were probability and statistics, measurement, and algebra. Staff and teachers reviewed the LRSD elementary mathematics curriculum to determine if there was a correlation between extend to strand coverage in the curriculum and student performance on those strands on the Benchmark Exam. The curriculum analysis revealed that there were some gaps in the curriculum that likely resulted in low performance on certain items on the exam.    Staff and teachers worked over the summer of 2003 use the Benchmark data to determine the \"big ideas\" or concepts students need to have a deep understanding about in grades K-5. Using several years worth of data, grade level teams of teachers in grades 1-4 (see list of teachers who worked on curriculum revision) ( revised the mathematics standards and benchmarks according to the five strands listed in NCTM Standards and the State Framework. Kindergarten and fifth grade will do similar work during the summer of 2004. Curriculum resources in grades 1-4 were aligned to those standards assessed most frequently on the exam. Supplemental curriculum resources were identified from several sources for use to broaden the scope of the curriculum at certain grade levels. Internet resources, Marilyn Burns and Associates materials, and other materials were identified and compiled into a notebook for use by teachers.  Benchmark results show that district students generally perform less well on the open-response test items compared to the multiple choice items.  Program modifications based on this data were:  Developed packets of open-response items for teachers to use with students.  Trained teachers to score open-response items using a rubric.  Developed and administered District-developed end-of-quarter or end-ofsemester exams that included open-response items.  4 th grade Literacy and Mathematics Benchmark Results over a period of three years caused some schools to be given \"School Improvement\" status by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE). Schools in which the total population or one or more sub-populations (white, African-American, Hispanic, Limited English Proficient, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Special Education) did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by ADE were sanctioned with Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 School Improvement Status.  A thorough and detailed School Support Audit was done for schools in Year 2 or Year 3 School Improvement. (An attachment explains the school audit process). The schools that were audited were Fair Park, Baseline, Mabelvale Elementary, Wakefield, and Southwest Middle School).  A variety of program modifications were made in schools on School) Improvement as a result of the audit findings.  One major common finding from the audits was that effective questions strategies were not being routinely used in the audited schools. The modification made was to bring in an expert on questioning strategies (Dr. Lee Hannel-author of Highly Effective Questioning: Developing the Seven Steps of Critical Thinking) to 1 ead a workshop for all LRSD principals. 2003-04  All grade level teachers were trained in the use of these new curriculwn resources that were developed by the math staff and teachers during the August, 2003, preschool conference.  Item analyses of the 4th Grade Benchmark Exam showed that the statistics and probability strand was the lowest area for students.  A program modification made was to strengthen concept development in ( probability by added a replacement unit on probability from Marilyn Burns' s materials. Twenty-six primary teachers and coaches and twenty-five intermediate teachers and coaches participated in full-day training on the Marilyn Burns materials.  Three elementary schools on School Improvement Status collaborate to bring in Dr. Hannel to provide training for all teachers in the schools.  Dr. Hannel provided full day training for all elementary principals. (  21 of 24 principals responded that they were interested in having the questioning strategies training for all faculty in their schools.  Additional schools received School Support Audits-Chicot, Bale, Mitchell.  Program Modifications made by selected schools were to hire math coaches to assist with professional development and training related to implementation of the elementary mathematics curriculum. r Uneven achievement among schools was evident in the results of the 2002-03 4th Grade Benchmark Exam.  A Program Modification strategy used was to hire Dr. Linda Griffith to check the alignment of the mathematics curriculum, grades K-8, to the State Framework. The results ofthis alignment will include recommendations for improving the alignment in the curriculum. , Program Modifications Based on Informal Program Evaluation Secondary Mathematics 2001-02  Item analyses of 6th , 8th , Algebra L and Geometry Benchmark Data for 2001-02  Continued District-wide end-of-quarter tests for Algebra I - Pre-Calculus  District-wide end-of-module tests for grades 6-8  TI-83 plus calculator training provided for all secondary math teachers  Full implementation of high quality standards-based instruction/materials in math for all students in grades K-12  District leveraged support of professional development for all math teachers by providing funds to pay substitute teachers and stipends for teachers receiYing trninill-g.s -  Lead teachers continued to provide technical assistance inside and outside the classroom by conducting professional development workshops and classroom observations\n Continued partnership with University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) to develop and offer graduate courses based on the needs of the District.

The Elementary Literacy Department provided staff development related to writing instruction, and the writing programs in schools were modified to include \"best practices.\" The Spring 2003 CRT Literacy data from several schools reflected the schools' efforts to improve their students' academic achievement in writing. The District used the assessment data to also provide the low performing schools with the opportunity to participate in the LRSD Reading First Project. The project, which is federally funded, provides significant funding to schools to implement research-based instructional strategies. -T-w-el-ve schools chose to participate in the pniiect to begin.in the fall of 2003 . The project requires the sc oo s to o ow an assessment schedule related to program improvement. Because of lack of movement in student achievement in literacy, three schools on school improvement decided to move from the Success for All program to the research-based instruction recommended in Reading First. FY 2003-04 August - December 2003 Response to the Literacy Program Evaluation The Elementary Literacy Department reviewed the literacy program evaluation report developed by Dr. Ross and developed a plan to continue program evaluation in the future which included the following:  Continue the use of focus groups for each of the professional development programs (ELLA, Effective Literacy, Reading Recovery, Literacy Coaches, Success for All) and develop a table of the most and least effective elements. The information from the focus groups will then be used to modify the District's professional development plan.  ( Compare student data from the CRT and District assessments in each school to compare the academic achievement of African-American students with others as related to the instructional program and provide specific professional development based on the identified needs of the students. ...  EXHIBIT ID The staff also reviewed the section of the report related to the most effective and least effective elements of each staff development offered by the District. The following actions were taken to address the weaknesses of the professional development:  Provided additional guided reading materials to all schools to support small group instruction to ensure equitable instruction for all students.  Provided a diverse collection of books to low performing schools to ensure that a variety of texts is available for independent reading.  Modified the testing schedule ( except in Reading Excellence and Reading First schools) to accommodate the need for a more streamlined assessment plan. Literacy Achievement Data Review Dr. Ed Williams met with the Elementary Literacy Department regarding the 2003 Primary Literacy Benchmark Exam with attention to the academic achievement of African American students as compared to other students. Schools most in need were identified and assigned to specific Literacy Specialists who had the task of reviewing the testing data more closely with the assigned schools. The Elementary Literacy Department employed the services of a consultant to discuss with the Literacy Specialists the most effective approach to use with the schools in examinin their data and using it to make ro am modifications or changes. After the consultant's visit, the staff developed a p an or working with the schools. Assistance provided to the schools was varied based on the needs of the school but included inservice on the Primary Benchmark Exam and data analysis. In some schools, the principal and staff had already examined the data and outside assistance was not requested. Results of the data review confirmed that the professional development provided by the Elementary Literacy Department should include heavy emphasis on content ar~a reading.a.nd...writing. In addition to the professional de~being o ere on an ongoing basis to teachers grades 2-4, the Elementary Literacy Department and the Social Studies Department began working collaboratively to provide the training, resources, and materials for 5th grade teachers to integrate reading and social studies instruction. Three training sessions were held in January 2004 to model for teachers how to integrate the two areas. LRSD Reading First Project Schools The Reading First Project Schools have been visited several times during the year (2003-04) by the LSRD Reading First Coordinator, District Literacy Specialists, and the ADE Reading First Technical Assistant. The purpose of the visits is to provide assistance and to monitor the instructional program of the schools. Monitoring was done using a structured observation protocol and assistance was provided to schools in various ways such as the following:  Classroom demonstrations  Classroom observations with post observation conference  Colleague visits to exemplary classrooms  Sessions for problem-solving various aspects of the instructional program L 3 The Reading First Literacy Coaches and classroom teachers administered assessments in addition to those required by the district. In the fall of 2003 kindergarten students were given tl:Je DIBELS letter identification\nfirst grade students were given the letter identification and phoneme segmentation tests\nand the second and third grade students were given the oral reading fluency test. The coaches and classroom teachers used this information to determine students in need of intervention, .and intervention plans were developed for each school. Progress monitoring was conducted on those students considered at risk or some risk in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions and to make needed changes. In January 2004 kindergarten students were given the DIBELS letter identification and phoneme segmentation\nfirst grade students were given the DIBELS phoneme segmentation and oral reading~ -, fluency test\nand second and third grade students were given the DIBELS oral reading fluency test. IV\"/ The Developmental Spelling test was also administered to K-3 students in January 2004. / The Literacy Coaches entered all of the LSRD Reading First schools' data and intervention plans into the Arkansas Reading First Data Bank. Pat Busbea and Renee Dawson, Reading First Technical Assistants monitored the data input and the development and implementation of the intervention plans. Because the Reading First Schools are predominantly African American, particular attention is being given to how the students are responding to the intervention and technical assistance is provided to schools when the data indicates it is needed. Professional Development Specialized Training Based on examination of CRT, DRA and Observation Survey data, as well as teacher observation, it was determined that support and services were needed in the following areas of literacy in the lowperforming schools: phonemic awareness/phonics, spelling, oral language, and reading comprehension. Both local and nationally recognized experts in these areas of literacy were contracted to provide l/,W-,e,1.w -\"\"\" professional development to teachers of PreK through Grade 5. ~ Ongoing Professional Development Ongoing professional development in literacy instruction is made available to all PreK - Grade 5 teachers. This professional development, a component of the State Smart Start Initiative, includes: Early Literacy Learning in Arkansas (ELLA) for grades K-2 Effective Literacy for grades 2-4 The LRSD Effective Literacy 5 for grade 5 Pre Early Literacy Learning in Arkansas (PreELLA) Pre-Kindergarten. Benchmark Preparation In response to requests from principals of the identified schools, District literacy specialists provided State Benchmark Exam preparation training to the teachers of grades 3-5 focused on the areas of \"Writing On Demand\" and \"Constructed Response\". I 11 Technical Assistance Technical Assistance in Literacy was provided to classroom teachers at the Elementary Schools identified for School Improvement. The focus and the intensity of the assistance were based on the particular needs of each teacher related to instruction during the 2  hour Literacy Block - Reading Workshop, Writing Workshop and Word Study. Reading Specialists visited each classroom in need of assistance to meet with the teacher. The specialist and teacher identified the specific needs from the following areas: Physical Setting/Context for Instruction Explicit Phonics/Spelling/Word Study Literature Circles/Literature Discussion Groups Guided Reading Instruction Shared Reading Shared Writing Strategy-Based Mini Lessons Literacy Corners Teacher Read Aloud Writing Workshop Reading Workshop Independent Reading Benchmark Prep The specialists then addressed the areas identified, including: setting up Literacy Corners, rearranging classrooms, organizing and categorizing reading materials, teaching students in both whole and small group, modeling instructional approaches, demonstrating the use of materials, assessing students and developing instructional plans. Professional books, independent reading books and sets of books for guided reading, as well as organizational materials and center supplies are also provided. 4 C ao.c 1--y:,s Approximately 20 of the schools have employed literacy coaches to help support and accelerate change in literacy instruction to improve the achievement of all students in the area ofliteracy. !y 2001-2002 Program Modifications Based on Informal Program Evaluation Secondary Literacy 1.

LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL RECEIVED MAR 1 1: 2004 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTER VEN ORS INTER VEN ORS LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPLIANCE REPORT Plaintiff Little Rock School District (\"LRSD\") for its Compliance Report states: 1. On September 13, 2002, the District Court issued its Order finding that the 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. The Court's Order set forth a detailed Compliance Remedy as to Revised Plan  2. 7 .1 . 2. On October 10, 2002, the LRSD's Board of Directors (\"Board\") adopted a Compliance Plan designed to meet the requirements of the Court's Compliance Remedy. The LRSD filed the Compliance Plan with the Court on March 14, 2003, as Exhibit A to Plaintiffs Notice of Filing Program Evaluations Required By Paragraph C of the Court's Compliance Remedy. 3. Joshua initially raised concerns about the Board-approved Compliance Plan. The LRSD addressed these concerns in an October 25, 2002 letter to counsel for Joshua, attached hereto Page 1 of 6 as Exhibit A. Joshua invoked the \"Process for Raising Compliance Issues\" set for in Revised Plan  8.2, and the Joshua and the LRSD met with Ms. Ann Marshall to facilitate an agreement. The last meeting was February 28, 2003. At that meeting, the LRSD agreed to provide Joshua several documents. The last of these was mailed to Joshua on March 6, 2003. The parties never reached any agreement related to Joshua's concerns about the Board-approved Compliance Plan. Joshua waived any objections to the Board-approved Compliance Plan by failing to present them to the Court as required by Paragraph \"D\" of the Compliance Remedy. 4. The Board-approved Compliance Plan interpreted Paragraphs \"A\" and \"B\" of the Compliance Remedy as requiring the LRSD to: (1) continue to administer student assessments through the first semester of 2003-04\n(2) develop written procedures for evaluating the programs implemented pursuant to Revised Plan  2.7 to determine their effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students\n(3) maintain written records of(a) the criteria used to evaluate each program, (b) the results of the annual student assessments, including whether an informal program evaluation resulted in program modifications or the elimination of any programs, and (c) the names of the administrators who were involved with the evaluation of each program, as well as at least a grade level description of any teachers who were involved in the evaluation process\nand ( 4) prepare a comprehensive program evaluation of each academic program implemented pursuant to Revised Plan  2.7 to determine its effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students and to decide whether to modify or replace the program. See Compliance Plan, p. 3. 5. Continue to administer student assessments through the first semester of 2003- 04. Page 2 of 6 plan. To meet this requirement, the LRSD implemented the 2002-03 Board-approved assessment 6. Develop written procedures for evaluating the programs implemented pursuant to 2. 7 to determine their effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students. The Board adopted regulation IL-Rl when it approved the Compliance Plan. Regulation ILRl set forth the written procedures for evaluating the  2. 7 programs. 7. Maintain written records of (a) the criteria used to evaluate each program\n(b) the results of the annual student assessments, including whether an informal program evaluation resulted in program modifications or the elimination of any programs\nand (c) the names of the administrators who were involved with the evaluation of each program, as well as at least a grade level description of any teachers who were involved in the evaluation process. Regulation IL-Rl outlined the criteria to be used to evaluate each program. As to the results of annual student assessments, the LRSD continues to maintain a computer database with the results of annual students assessments administered pursuant to the Board-approved assessment plan. Exhibit B attached hereto identified the members of each team. Exhibits C, D and E document informal modifications of the mathematics, elementary literacy and secondary literacy programs, respectively. 8. Prepare a comprehensive program evaluation of each academic program implemented pursuant to 2.7 to determine its effectiveness in improving the academic achievement of African-American students and to decide whether to modify or replace the program. The LRSD contracted with Dr. Steve Ross, an expert approved by Joshua, to prepare comprehensive evaluations of the District's elementary and secondary literacy programs. These evaluations, combined in a single report, were completed and approved by the Board in November of2003 and are attached hereto as Exhibit F. Dr. Don Wold, a program evaluator funded through Page 3 of 6 a National Science Foundation (\"NSF\") grant\nDennis Glasgow, Interim Associate Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction\nand Vanessa Cleaver, Director of the NSF Grant, authored the comprehensive mathematics and science evaluation. The comprehensive mathematics and science evaluation was completed and approved by the Board in December 2003 and is attached hereto as Exhibit G. 9. The LRSD substantially complied with the Revised Plan and the Court's Compliance Remedy by implementation of the Board-approved Compliance Plan. 10. By letter dated January 12, 2004, copies of the comprehensive evaluations were provided to counsel for the Joshua Intervenors, and counsel was asked to advise the District of any \"questions or concerns\" about these evaluations. In a fax dated March 8, 2004, counsel for the Joshua Intervenors wrote: I have reviewed your evaluations and find that they are grossly inadequate and incomplete. In addition to that I am still awaiting the evaluations of the other remaining programs which were contemplated by our agreement. Because we have already invoked the process required by the court, I am putting ODM on notice of our position. The LRSD denies that it agreed to prepare evaluations other than those described in the Boardapproved Compliance Plan. WHEREFORE, the LRSD submits the program evaluations as required by paragraphs \"A\" and \"B\" of the Court's Compliance Remedy. The LRSD prays that the Court find that the LRSD has substantially complied with Revised Plan  2. 7.1, as specified in the Compliance Remedy\nthat the LRSD is unitary with regard to all aspects of school operations\nand that it be released from all further supervision and monitoring of its desegregation efforts.

Capitol, Suite 3400 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Mr. Dennis Hanson Office of the Attorney General 323 Center Street 200 Tower Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 In our letter dated October 11, 2002, we asked the parties to specifically identify in writing any perceived deficiency in the Board-approved Compliance Plan on or before Monday, October 21, 2002. No responses were received on or before that date. However, Mr. Pressman called on October 21, 2002, and advised that Joshua would rely on the comments contained in Mr. Walker's October 10, 2002, facsimile. On October 24, 2002, additional comments were received from Mr. Walker. All of Mr. Walker's comments will be addressed in turn. EXHIBIT A ' All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page2 October 10, 2002 Facsimile 1. More consideration is needed of the programs to be identified as \"implementat[ ed] pursuant to Section 2.7 ... \", which are to be subjected to \"comprehensive program evaluation ... \" Your document at page 7 identifies three areas. We note the absence of specific reference and detail regarding interventions/ \"scaffolding\" - areas of vital importance given the achievement patterns of African-American students. We note also that the LRSD compliance report cited many more programs as designed to fulfill Section 2. 7. Mr. Pressman clarified this concern during our October 21, 2002 telephone conversation. Mr. Pressman explained that Joshua was concerned that interventions designed to assist low achieving students, for example SAIPs, were not being fully implemented and wanted some assurance that the comprehensive program evaluations would assess implementation of these programs. LRSD RESPONSE: On October 24, 2002, the Board approved the Division oflnstruction's \"Plan to Support Low-Performing Schools,\" a copy of which is enclosed for your review. Under that plan, the LRSD will conduct curriculum, instruction and classroom management audits at low performing schools. Data gathered through these audits and other monitoring under the plan may be used by a program evaluation team to identify possible causes of poor performance, including poor implementation of interventions such as SAIPs. The LRSD lacks the resources to implement this plan at every school. Approximately 10 schools will receive the full compliment of services outlined in the plan. Those 10 schools will be identified based on the priority system set forth in the plan. 2. In a discussion prior to his testimony in the hearing [before] Judge Wilson, we understood Dr. Ross to indicate that the existing evaluation of the PreK-2 literacy program was not adequate. The notation on page 4 of your document of the changed use of the Observation Survey and the DRA relates to part of the concerns he expressed. This undermines the LRSD argument (page 11) that the existing evaluation, upon Board approval, will satisfy a part of the Court's remedy. LRSD RESPONSE: As the LRSD understands this statement, Joshua objects to the LRSD considering the PreK-2 literacy evaluation to have been completed pursuant to Paragraph C of the Compliance Remedy. Attached are the comments received by the LRSD from Dr. Ross related to that evaluation. As can be seen, Dr. Ross did not advise the LRSD that the evaluation was \"inadequate.\" Moreover, it does not make sense for the LRSD to expend resources to have this evaluation \"completed\" by an outside expert while it also prepares a new, comprehensive evaluation of the same program with the assistance of an outside expert. All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page3 3. The LRSD discussion about satisfying the court's order regarding the evaluations mentioned at page 148 of the compliance report does not seem to take account of the material provided, which describes an adequate evaluation. LRSD RESPONSE: As the LRSD understands this statement, Joshua objects to the LRSD not completing the evaluations identified on page 148 of the Final Compliance Report in a manner consistent with IL-Rl. As the LRSD understands Paragraph C of the Compliance Remedy, the District Court simply wants the LRSD to do what it said it did and complete the evaluations identified on page 148 of the Final Compliance Report. That is what the LRSD intends to do. It is true that those evaluations, even after being completed, may not be model program evaluations as envisioned by IL-Rl. The LRSD decided, however, that the most prudent use of its limited resources would be to focus on the new, comprehensive evaluations of programs designed to improve African-American achievement. 4. We question the period of implementation of a remedy which the court has identified and, therefore, the LRSD schedule. LRSD RESPONSE: The LRSD is willing to agree that any agreement between the LRSD and Joshua related to implementation of the Compliance Remedy will not prejudice Joshua's appeal of the District Court's September 13, 2002, Memorandum Opinion. October 24, 2002 Facsimile 1. In using historical student assignment results, attention should be given to the quality of the data. In the past, LRSD has used results on the [D]RA and the Observation Survey in ways not consistent with the purposes of those instruments. In addition, because teachers provided scores for their own students, the past use made of the data was in conflict with the district's recognition in the newly enacted Regulation IL-RI that \"Conflict of Interest\" must be avoided. LRSD RESPONSE: Paragraph A of the Compliance Remedy requires the LRSD to use all available data in its evaluations. It will be the responsibility of the evaluation team to weigh the reliability and validity of the available data. The Arkansas Department of Education and national organizations with expertise in early literacy recommend the use of the DRA and Observation Surveys. The primary purpose of those assessments is to determine whether students are learning the essential components of the reading curriculum. As to the integrity of the data from those assessments, the LRSD monitored student scores year-to-year to discourage teachers from inflating scores in an effort to show improvement. Moreover, the ultimate success of the LRSD's early literacy program will All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page4 be judged by performance on the State's Benchmark examinations, rather than the DRA and Observation SUIVeys. 2. We are concerned about the manner in which the regulation describes the \"team\" process for preparing evaluations, again in the context of\"conflict of interest.\" In order to insure that \"conflict of interest\" is avoided, the \"external consultant\" needs to write the report and control the -context of the analysis. Paragraphs 3, 5 and 6 of the ''Program Evaluation Procedures\" do not guarantee that the external expert will have these roles. Of course, if reports were prepared in the manner which we describe, there would be no bar to LRSD staff preparing comments to the Board with a differing interpretation of the evaluation results. LRSD RESPONSE: The LRSD rejects the implication that LRSD personnel cannot be trusted to write an honest program evaluation. The LRSD's commitment to improving student achievement is second to none. To fulfill that commitment, it is in the LRSD's best interest to effectively evaluate its programs. The success of the programs and program evaluations will ultimately be measured by the State's Benchmark evaluations. All evaluation team members will be actively involved in the evaluation process and are expected to provide a check against the self-interest of any one team member. The evaluation team will decide who writes the report based on the expertise of team members. The outside expert will be asked to take to the Superintendent any concerns about the evaluation not being addressed by the evaluation team. The outside expert will also be asked to be present when the evaluation is presented to the Board so that the Board can be advised of any concerns the outside expert may have about the final evaluation. 3. We continue to be concerned about the global, general manner in which the content of planned evaluations is described (page 7 of the document, first paragraph). For example, the Board has adopted a policy and two regulations dealing with remediation for students whose performance is below par. Studying the actual implementation of these standards (in all or a representative sample of schools) is of vital importance to the Intervenor class because class members are so much more likely than other students to exhibit unsatisfactory performance on the Benchmark and Stanford Achievement Tests. A satisfactory description by the School Board of the evaluations which it requires the staff to undertake should make clear that the actual implementation of remediation activities in district schools is to receive careful consideration. This is surely an important contextual factor (see \"Accuracy Standards,\" para. 2). LRSD RESPONSE: As the LRSD understands this comment, it is a restatement of the first number paragraph in Mr. Walker's October 10, 2002 facsimile, and the LRSD hereby incorporates its response thereto. All Counsel and Ms. Marshall October 25, 2002 Page 5 4. We understand from the Plan that the LRSD plans evaluations of programs deemed to be particularly directed to achievement of African-American students for the indefinite term, not simply for the period necessary to satisfy the court. We would like to receive the Board's assurance that this is the case. LRSD RESPONSE: The Board's approval ofIL-Rl was not limited to the term of the Compliance Remedy, and at this time, the Board anticipates continuing to evaluate programs pursuant to Policy IL after the term of the Compliance Remedy. Conclusion The LRSD hopes that it has been able to address all of Joshua's concerns. If any party has any questions about the LRSD's responses to Joshua's comments, we ask that those be submitted in writing, and the LRSD will promptly provide a written response. If Joshua continues to have concerns about the LRSD's Compliance Plan, Joshua should consider this the LRSD's written response to alleged noncompliance in accordance with Revised Plan 8. Pursuant to Revised Plan 8.2.4, Joshua has 15 days ofreceipt of this letter to submit the issue to ODM for facilitation of an agreement. Thank you for your cooperation.

EXHIBIT I B Program Modifications Based on Informal Program Evaluation Elementary Mathematics 2001-02  An item analysis of 4th Grade Benchmark Data for 2000-01 reveals that students perform lowest on the geometry strand. (Note-The State Math Framework and NCTM National Standards for Mathematics contain 5 strands: number sense, geometry, probability and statistics, algebra, and measurement.) The analysis of data from the Benchmark Exam consisted of identifying the strand of each item, ranking the items from highest to lowest, and looking for trends in the data.  Program modifications made based on the low performance on geometry items was:  Train teachers to do item analyses for their own schools.  Work with teachers to discern reasons why students struggled with the specific geometry items (the released items were available for review).  Develop strategies for increasing the focus on geometry in the elementary mathematics curriculum.  School by school analysis of 4th Grade Benchmark Data for 2000-01 (and prior years) revealed different levels of achievement by schools that were demographically similar. Classroom observations in these schools by elementary math/science lead teachers confirmed that the level of implementation of the elementary mathematics curriculum was different from school to school. Schools with a higher level of implementation were having higher student achievement than schools who were not implementing the curriculum at that high level.  A program modification made based on uneven achievement at similar schools was to have principals identify a lead person in their schools to receive intensive and sustained training to serve as a \"coach\" for other teachers (See list of Math Support Personnel for LRSD).  Sara Hogg, UALR Mathematics Specialist, was utilized to provide monthly \"coaches\" training so that additional implementation support would be available at each school. A variety of types of training has been provided by Ms. Hogg, much of it directed at greater knowledge of strategies for implementing our elementary mathematics curriculum.  Another program modification made ac\na result of uneven achievement among schools was to begin a process of changing the way professional development for teachers is structured. In the past most professional development for elementary mathematics has been district-led (e.g., all third grade teachers go to a district-led training on the 3rd grade mathematics curriculum). The modification has been to shift more focus on site-based professional development. The \"Lesson Study\" and \"Study Group\" approach was begun with elementary mathematics teachers to allow them more responsibility and accountability for their own training needs. ~ EXHIBIT l~ 2002-03      The same item analysis was completed for 2001-02 4th grade Benchmark Data . Results ofthis analysis showed that students had gained in the area of geometry . The lowest strands were probability and statistics, measurement, and algebra. Staff and teachers reviewed the LRSD elementary mathematics curriculum to determine if there was a correlation between extend to strand coverage in the curriculum and student performance on those strands on the Benchmark Exam. The curriculum analysis revealed that there were some gaps in the curriculum that likely resulted in low performance on certain items on the exam. Staff and teachers worked over the summer of 2003 use the Benchmark data to determine the \"big ideas\" or concepts students need to have a deep understanding about in grades K-5. Using several years worth of data, grade level teams of teachers in grades 1-4 (see list of teachers who worked on curriculum revision) revised the mathematics standards and benchmarks according to the five strands listed in NCTM Standards and the State Framework. Kindergarten and fifth grade will do similar work during the summer of 2004. Curriculum resources in grades 1-4 were aligned to those standards assessed most frequently on the exam. Supplemental curriculum resources were identified from several sources for use to broaden the scope of the curriculum at certain grade levels. Internet resources, Marilyn Burns and Associates materials, and other materials were identified and compiled into a notebook for use by teachers.  Bench.mark results show that district students generally perform less well on the open-response test items compared to the multiple choice items.  Program modifications based on this data were:  Developed packets of open-response items for teachers to use with students.  Trained teachers to score open-response items using a rubric.  Developed and administered District-developed end-of-quarter or end-ofsemester exams that included open-response items.  4th grade Literacy and Mathematics Benchmark Results over a period of three years caused some schools to be given \"School Improvement\" status by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE). Schools in which the total population or one or more sub-populations (white, African-American, Hispanic, Limited English Proficient, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Special Education) did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by ADE were sanctioned with Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 School Improvement Status.  A thorough and detailed School Support Audit was done for schools in Year 2 or Year 3 School Improvement. (An attachment explains the school audit process). The schools that were audited were Fair Park, Baseline, Mabelvale Elementary, Wakefield, and Southwest Middle School).  A variety of program modifications were made in schools on School Improvement as a result of the audit findings.  One major common finding from the audits was that effective questions strategies were not being routinely used in the audited schools. The modification made was to bring in an expert on questioning strategies (Dr. Lee Hannel- author of Highly Effective Questioning: Developing the Seven Steps of Critical Thinking) to lead a workshop for all LRSD principals. 2003-04  All grade level teachers were trained in the use of these new curriculum resources that were developed by the math staff and teachers during the August, 2003, preschool conference.  Item analyses of the 4th Grade Benchmark Exam showed that the statistics and probability strand was the lowest area for students.  A program modification made was to strengthen concept development in probability by added a replacement unit on probability from Marilyn Burns's materials. Twenty-six primary teachers and coaches and twenty-five intermediate teachers and coaches participated in full-day training on the Marilyn Burns materials.  Three elementary schools on School Improvement Status collaborate to bring in Dr. Hannel to provide training for all teachers in the schools.  Dr. Hannel provided full day training for all elementary principals.  21 of 24 principals responded that they were interested in having the questioning strategies training for all faculty in their schools.  Additional schools received School Support Audits-Chicot, Bale, Mitchell.  Program Modifications made by selected schools were to hire math coaches to assist with professional development and training related to implementation of the elementary mathematics curriculum.  Uneven achievement among schools was evident in the results of the 2002-03 4th Grade Benchmark Exam.  A Program Modification strategy used was to hire Dr. Linda Griffith to check the alignment of the mathematics curriculum, grades K-8, to the State Framework. The results of this alignment will include recommendations for improving the alignment in the curriculum. Program Modifications Based on Informal Program Evaluation Secondary Mathematics 2001-02  Item analyses of 61\\ 8th , Algebra I, and Geometry Benchmark Data for 2001-02  Continued District-wide end-of-quarter tests for Algebra I - Pre-Calculus  District-wide end-of-module tests for grades 6-8  TI-83 plus calculator training provided for all secondary math teachers  Full implementation of high quality standards-based instruction/materials in math for all students in grades K-12  District leveraged support of professional development for all math teachers by providing funds to pay substitute teachers and stipends for teachers receiving trainings  Lead teachers continued to provide technical assistance inside and outside the classroom by conducting professional development workshops and classroom observations\n Continued partnership with University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) to develop and offer graduate courses based on the needs of the District. The following course was developed and offered during the 2001-02 SY: o Strategies for Teaching Geometry  Developed and distributed pacing guides for secondary mathematics and courses to address the issue of student mobility within the District  High school mathematics courses (Algebra I - Precalculus) were revised to reflect a closer alignment with the national and state standards and frameworks\n The SMART (Summer Mathematics Advanced Readiness Training) program is an academic student support program for students who will be enrolled in Algebra I the upcoming fall semester. Project THRIVE, the follow-up component of SMART, is a Saturday academy for students currently enrolled in Algebra I. These programs are aligned with the State Goals for Algebra I. Algebra I EOC results of students who participate in these programs are compared with the overall District results o SMART /Project THRIVE served more than 200 students in Algebra  The agendas for horizontal team meetings ( each grade/subject level 6th grade - Calculus) are developed around the results of the benchmark exams. Teachers concentrate on areas of weakness for students and work on modifications in instructional strategies to improve those areas. In addition, trends and patterns are studied to measure the impact of instructional practices in the classroom.  Implemented instruction in Algebra I through Riverdeep software in all high schools 2002-03  Changed format of pre-school conference meeting to involve more teachers doing presentations on standards-based activities\n Purchased Texas Instruments APPs Suite for Algebra I for all middle and high schools\n Provided training from College Board Pacesetter for Algebra I - Pre-calculus teachers - over 80% of secondary math teachers were trained  Continued District-wide end-of-quarter test for 6th grade - Calculus\n Continued to provide professional development for all secondary math teachers on topics including: o Riverdeep Interactive Software o TI-83 plus calculators o UALR Graduate Courses  Strategies for Teaching Algebra  Integrating the Graphing Calculator  Revised and enacted procedures for ensuring that students who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) achieve the curriculum content standards and benchmarks established by the State of Arkansas and LRSD\n Continued to implement high-quality standards-based instruction for grades 6-12 mathematics\n Continued to hold monthly vertical team meetings for secondary math teachers  Held horizontal team meetings ( one per semester) for each secondary math course\n2003-04  Classroom sets of graphing calculators provided for all Algebra I - Calculus teachers\n Offered UALR graduate course on Using Handheld Technology to Enhance the Mathematics Classroom - used the TI-Navigator system\n Continued vertical and horizontal team meetings including 6th -8th  Workshop by Dr. Linda Griffith for calculus teachers on integrating calculator to teach calculus\n Continued end-of-quarter tests\n 6th -8th grade curriculum revised to reflect a closer alignment with the national and state standards and frameworks\nMarcelline Carr and Vanessa Cleaver FY 2002-03 Actions of the LRSD Elementary Literacy Department related to Literacy Program Evaluation The LRSD Elementary Literacy Department continued to provide professional development (ELLA, EFFECTIVE LITERACY, Reading Recovery) to all LRSD schools to support implementation of the LRSD Pre-K-3 Literacy Plan. The Elementary Literacy Department examined the Spring 2002 CRT Literacy data to identify the schools most in need of assistance in the area ofliteracy with particular attention to the academic achievement of African American students and their needs. The data indicated that the writing program was the weak component of the literacy instructional program. The Elementary Literacy Department provided staff development related to writing instruction, and the writing programs in schools were modified to include \"best practices.\" The Spring 2003 CRT Literacy data from several schools reflected the schools' efforts to improve their students' academic achievement in writing. The District used the assessment data to also provide the low performing schools with the opportunity to participate in the LRSD Reading First Project. The project, which is federally funded, provides significant funding to schools to implement research-based instructional strategies. Twelve schools chose to participate in the project to begin in the fall of 2003 . The project requires the schools to follow an assessment schedule related to program improvement. Because of lack of movement in student achievement in literacy, three schools on school improvement decided to move from the Success for All program to the research-based instruction recommended in Reading First. FY 2003-04 August - December 2003 Response to the Literacy Program Evaluation The Elementary Literacy Department reviewed the literacy program evaluation report developed by Dr. Ross and developed a plan to continue program evaluation in the future which included the following:  Continue the use of focus groups for each of the professional development programs (ELLA, Effective Literacy, Reading Recovery, Literacy Coaches, Success for All) and develop a table of the most and least effective elements. The information from the focus groups will then be used to modify the District's professional development plan.  Compare student data from the CRT and District assessments in each school to compare the academic achievement of African-American students with others as related to the instructional program and provide specific professional development based on the identified needs of the students. ..  EXHIBIT ID The staff also reviewed the section of the report related to the most effective and least effective elements of each staff development offered by the District. The following actions were taken to address the weaknesses of the professional development:  Provided additional guided reading materials to all schools to support small group instruction to ensure equitable instruction for all students.  Provided a diverse collection of books to low performing schools to ensure that a variety of texts is available for independent reading.  Modified the testing schedule ( except in Reading Excellence and Reading First schools) to accommodate the need for a more streamlined assessment plan. Literacy Achievement Data Review Dr. Ed Williams met with the Elementary Literacy Department regarding the 2003 Primary Literacy Benchmark Exam with attention to the academic achievement of African American students as compared to other students. Schools most in need were identified and assigned to specific Literacy Specialists who had the task of reviewing the testing data more closely with the assigned schools. The Elementary Literacy Department employed the services of a consultant to discuss with the Literacy Specialists the most effective approach to use with the schools in examining their data and using it to make program modifications or changes. After the consultant's visit, the staff developed a plan for working with the schools. Assistance provided to the schools was varied based on the needs of the school but included inservice on the Primary Benchmark Exam and data analysis. In some schools, the principal and staff had already examined the data and outside assistance was not requested. Results of the data review confirmed that the professional development provided by the Elementary Literacy Department should include heavy emphasis on content area reading and writing. In addition to the professional development being offered on an ongoing basis to teachers grades 2-4, the Elementary Literacy Department and the Social Studies Department began working collaboratively to provide the training, resources, and materials for 5th grade teachers to integrate reading and social studies instruction. Three training sessions were held in January 2004 to model for teachers how to integrate the two areas. LRSD Reading First Project Schools The Reading First Project Schools have been visited several times during the year (2003-04) by the LSRD Reading First Coordinator, District Literacy Specialists, and the ADE Reading First Technical Assistant. The purpose of the visits is to provide assistance and to monitor the instructional program of the schools. Monitoring was done using a structured observation protocol and assistance was provided to schools in various ways such as the following:  Classroom demonstrations  Classroom observations with post observation conference  Colleague visits to exemplary classrooms  Sessions for problem-solving various aspects of the instructional program L 3 The Reading First Literacy Coaches and classroom teachers administered assessments in addition to those required by the district. In the fall of 2003 kindergarten students were given the DIBELS letter identification\nfirst grade students were given the letter identification and phoneme segmentation tests\nand the second and third grade students were given the oral reading fluency test. The coaches and classroom teachers used this information to determine students in need of intervention, and intervention plans were developed for each school. Progress monitoring was conducted on those students considered at risk or some risk in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions and to make needed changes. In January 2004 kindergarten students were given the DIBELS letter identification and phoneme segmentation\nfirst grade students were given the DIBELS phoneme segmentation and oral reading fluency test\nand second and third grade students were given the DIBELS oral reading fluency test. The Developmental Spelling test was also administered to K-3 students in January 2004. The Literacy Coaches entered all of the LSRD Reading First schools' data and intervention plans into the Arkansas Reading First Data Bank. Pat Busbea and Renee Dawson, Reading First Technical Assistants monitored the data input and the development and implementation of the intervention plans. Because the Reading First Schools are predominantly African American, particular attention is being given to how the students are responding to the intervention and technical assistance is provided to schools wh\u0026lt;\nn the data indicates it is needed. Professional Development Specialized Training Based on examination of CRT, DRA and Observation Survey data, as well as teacher observation, it was determined that support and services were needed in the following areas of literacy in the lowperforming schools: phonemic awareness/phonics, spelling, oral language, and reading comprehension. Both local and nationally recognized experts in these areas of literacy were contracted to provide professional development to teachers of PreK through Grade 5. Ongoing Professional Development Ongoing professional development in literacy instruction is made available to all PreK - Grade 5 teachers. This professional development, a component of the State Smart Start Initiative, includes: Early Literacy Leaming in Arkansas (ELLA) for grades K-2 Effective Literacy for grades 2-4 The LRSD Effective Literacy 5 for grade 5 Pre Early Literacy Leaming in Arkansas (PreELLA) Pre-Kindergarten. Benchmark Preparation In response to requests from principals of the identified schools, District literacy specialists provided State Benchmark Exam preparation training to the teachers of grades 3-5 focused on the areas of \"Writing On Demand\" and \"Constructed Response\". Technical Assistance Technical Assistance in Literacy was provided to classroom teachers at the Elementary Schools identified for School Improvement. The focus and the intensity of the assistance were based on the particular needs of each teacher related to instruction during the 2  hour Literacy Block - Reading Workshop, Writing Workshop and Word Study. Reading Specialists visited each classroom in need of assistance to meet with the teacher. The specialist and teacher identified the specific needs from the following areas: Physical Setting/Context for Instruction Explicit Phonics/Spelling/Word Study Literature Circles/Literature Discussion Groups Guided Reading Instruction Shared Reading Shared Writing Strategy-Based Mini Lessons Literacy Comers Teacher Read Aloud Writing Workshop Reading Workshop Independent Reading Benchmark Prep The specialists then addressed the areas identified, including: setting up Literacy Comers, rearranging classrooms, organizing and categorizing reading materials, teaching students in both whole and small group, modeling instructional approaches, demonstrating the use of materials, assessing students and developing instructional plans. Professional books, independent reading books and sets of books for guided reading, as well as organizational materials and center supplies are also provided. Approximately 20 of the schools have employed literacy coaches to help support and accelerate change in literacy instruction to improve the achievement of all students in the area of literacy. 4 2001-2002 Program Modifications Based on Informal Program Evaluation Secondary Literacy 1. Teachers attended after school meetings with director to examine data and conduct analysis of scores of ACT AAP tests. 2. English faculty of each school spent a day together with English director and building principal in session devoted to best practices for improvement ofliteracy program. January - March 2002. 3. All building assistant principals at middle school were inserviced by director in literacy program in order to provide for more consistent supervision and coordination by including all administrators in literacy program. 4. Monthly collaboration sessions were held at all middle schools, talcing turns hosting, with dedicated topics related to modifying literacy program and practices. 5. Recognizing that secondary teachers have never been trained in the teaching of reading, Dee Bench, consultant from Denver Coalition of Business and Education was employed to lead staff development during summer of '02 for teachers to modify reading strategies and instruction. Four weeks of training took place with teachers (approximately 75) from all four core subjects in attendance. This summer inservice was a modification to include all cross curricular teachers in literacy program. 2002-2003 1. Teachers met with director to assist in production of curriculum for writing in order to be able to consistently deliver quality program elements. Evaluation of current practice and focus on optimum results were goals. Spring - Summer '02. New Writing Curriculum was put into use 02-03. Teachers were inserviced school by school during preschool work days on use of new curriculum.

Spring 2004 CREP Center for Research in Educational Por~ LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT LITERACY PROGRAM EVALUATION Steven M. Ross John Nunnery Lana Smith Aaron McDonald Allan Sterb1nsky Center for Research In Educational Policy Un1vers1ty of Memphis 325 Browning Hall Memphis, TN 38152 Toll Free: 1-866-670-6147 November 2003 ~  EXHIBIT I E Little Rock School District Literacy Program Evaluation Executive Summary The present report provides the results from a study of the different literacy programs used in the Little Rock School District (LRSD). After expending substantial effort and resources to improve the reacting ability of students in the district, administrators at LRSD wanted to examine the effectiveness of the clifferent programs used within the district for literacy instruction. To facilitate this examination, 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. What are teacher perceptions of and reactions to the different literacy programs? 2. After controlling for gender, eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and prior achievement, clid African American students exhibit similar levels of academic achievement as other students? 3. What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable 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 clifferent 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 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 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, 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. The Literacy Program Teacher Questionnaires were printed and shipped to LRSD personnel. The district staff members clisseminated the questionnaires to the individual schools along with instructions for completing and returning the forms to the district. After the district staff received the completed forms, they were sent to CREP for analysis. Similarly, district Pagel of 47 personnel assembled the student achievement data into an electronic format. The data files were then sent to CREP researchers for analysis. 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. Results Teacher Focus Groups and Literacy Program Teacher Questionnaire A synthesis of themes and related findings from the seven focus groups and teacher questionnaire is provided in \"bulleted\" format for a concise overview.

The five achievement oriented research questions (#2 - #5 above) were used to guide the methodology and analyses. Methodology 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). Analyses 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 (ANCOV A) 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 5th grade, a two level hierarchical linear model (HLM) was performed to examine relationships between Page 4 of 47 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?  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 low-4.6% 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 performing 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 47 Secondary Level Results The secondary conclusions and results by research question are as follows: 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. What proportion of the variance in 2003 literacy achievement was uniquely attributable to whether students were African American?  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%. 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 8th 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%. Were differences in achievement gains between African American students and other students similar at different grade levels and for different test instruments?  From the 5th to the 8th 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 8th 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 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 47 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 district's 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. 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 current \"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. 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. 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.
