Dr. Henry P. Williams made his remarks at the first of five community forums he will hold this year on budget priorities and program plans for 1994-95. .About 35 people attended the forum at Cloverdale Elementary School, but virtually all were administrators, school employees, school board members or journalists. We need to have a plan for increasing our funds, Williams said, suggesting the district could do more to win federal grants. In Syracuse, N.Y., where he previously worked, his 22,000- s^dent district received $40 million a year in federal money, compared with $6 million in Little Rock, a district of about 26,000 students. Williams said he is looking for people to help the district raise money. The chief financial officer's position in the district has been vacant since Gary Jones resigned during the summer. School board member Linda Pondexter suggested the district initiate a violence prevention program, beginning with the 4- year-old children in the early childhood program. Williams replied that young children are taught how to deal with their problems when they are home alone watching television: You kill it. And some children never learn to share toys, or dont even have toys to share, before they begin school, he said. They must be taught at school how to share or resolve their other conflicts, he said. Even though some children enter school not knowing how to identify shapes and colors, Williams said he is opposed to retaining children in the first grade. He said the children should be given academic help but not labeled as failures so early in their school years. Williams called the districts court-approved desegregation plan a good one, but said he has directed his staff to review the plan to make it more readable and understandable for the general public. The next forum is at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at Parkview Magnet High School, 2501 John Barrow Road.Arkansas Democrat TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1994 Williams will host town halLsession Dr. Henry Williams, superintendent of the Little Rock School District, will host the seventh and final town hall meeting for the year at 7 p.m. today at the Southwest Community Center at 6401 Base Line Road.

This time, it was a town hall  meeting at the district administration office in which officials ' discussed the status of the dis- efforts. desegregation tri cl's About 20 people, a mix of administrators and parents, attended the meeting. It was also broadcast on Cable Channel 4. Russ Mayo, associate superin-  lendent for desegregation, said the district need.s to rewrite its desegregation plan to eliminate ' jargon, provide more reasonable expectations and allow greater flexibility. For example, he said, the plan should not name exact types of programs, but allow district leaders lo follow certain parameters based on current trends and research and what works for kids. The district has presented about a dozen modifications for federal court approval\nnone has been approved. Monday'.s argument came during the meetings question-and- answer period, when school board President Linda Pondexter challenged parent Baker Kurrus, chairman of a strategic planning committee on desegregation. Pondexter felt Kurrus had criticized the process in which the parlies in the desegregation case have been meeting weekly to try to iron out their confiicts. Pondexter chairs those meetings. At one of those sessions last week, furious words flew between , Superintendent Henry Williams . and Frank Martin, executive director of the teachers union. If the meetings are nonproductive, why not discontinue them? Pondexter asked Kurrus. \"Youre the reason, or one of the reasons, theyre unproductive, he responded. You first have to dissociate yourself. You have a point of view. We need a moderator at those meetings. We need an independent person to do it. \"I was asked to do it, I didnt volunteer, Pondexter shot back. \"I try to keep order among the parties and I have the audacity to have a point of view. \"I thought we could get together and solve problems. But maybe we should go back to the process we had before. I was in favor of those meetings. I think theyre a great idea, Kurrus demurred. We look to you for leadership. Your point of\nview is vitally critical. But if you have a group who disagree and you give the chair to. one of those parties, youre. doomed lo failure. Pondexter then invited him,\nand the others, to attend the parties next meeting, set for Oct. 25,\nso you can get it firsthand.Arkansas Democrat gazette ( TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1995 I H*\u0026lt; O/w\u0026gt;k In* LR superintendent sets public meetings Little Rock School District Superintendent Henry Williams is hosting a town-hall style meeting at 6 p.m. today at Rightsell Incentive Elementary School to address school district issues and concerns raised by the public.

I wanted you to have the information early so you will have adequate time to prepare for the clothing needs for your child. We are very excited about this change and I want to extend my thanks to the parents and teachers for serving on the uniform committee. They met on several occasions and researched the many possibilities before making the final decisions. I hope that the \"Question and Answer\" part of material will be helpful and answer any questions you might have. The style show that we had showing how the students will look in their uniforms was a huge success. The students looked wonderful and having the children dressed in uniforms next year will be a welcome addition to the overall appearance of our school. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

The PTA Board would like to assess the interest of aU parents, teachers and staff in our school. Please take a few minutes to read the following information and answer the questions on the attached page. Parents, we ask that you return the questionnaire to your childs teacher by Monday, April 1, 1996. Teachers and staff may return their questionnaires to school counselor, Jenifer Gentry, by the same date. Research shows that school uniforms: Improve behavior, discipline, self-esteem and self-respect\nRaise attendance and student achievement\nPut the focus on learning and away from fashion competition or distracting clothing\nEnhance school security by readily identifying students and non-students\nCreate unity by easing ethnic, economic and cultural differences\nPromote school pride and a sense of belonging. Several Little Rock public schools have implemented a uniform policy with great success. Preliminary investigation shows that school uniforms can be conveniently purchased in local stores at affordable prices. A uniform committee made up of parents, teachers and staff would make decisions regarding uniform style and color\ncompliance measures\navailability of financial assistance and procedures for applying for assistance\nmethods to recycle school uniforms within the school community\nand guidelines for outer-wear, shoes, headgear and optional attire. More information about a uniform policy will be presented at the next PTA meeting. The meeting will be held on Thursday, April 4, 1996, at 6:30 p.m. in the Pulaski Heights auditorium. Please plan to attend to give your input and have your questions answered. A vote of PHE parents will be taken within the next month and, if approved, the uniform policy will be presented to district administration for implementation to begin in the Fall. Again, please answer the questions on the following page and return by Monday, April 1st. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Drake or Melissa Hawkins at 666-7474.

Uniforms are also required at Williams Magnet Elementary, In west Little Rock, which began phasing them in four years ago, and at the districts Alternative l\u0026gt;earning Center. Several other schools in the Little Rock district, including Forest Park and Pulaski Heights elementaries. are studying the issue. Little Rock school board member Mike Daugherty, a leading proponent, is pushing for more schools  including junior higjis  to adopt uniforms. In the Pulaski County Special School District, Crystal Hill Magnet Elementary started a voluntary uniform policy this school year, but most students dont follow it. Until recently, unifonns were most often associated with private schools. Catholic schools felt they helped poor students fit in with students from higher-income families. , At Rockefeller, they have Improved dlMtlpUne, HcconlliiB hi third-grade teacher Skip Gardner.

It Arkansas Democrat ^(Sazcttc  TUESDAY, JUNE 11. 1996 Just another liberal plot I Re your call for opinions on the school uniform issue: This is a very simple, cut- and-dried situation. This is the very core, yes, the heart and soul of the liberal agenda When a social problem arises, they want to solve the problem by taking something away from the haves and giving it to the have-notsthus taking away from the have- nots the very incentives to succeed. The 1 iberals are only trying to keep their stranglehold on the public school systems by promising false solutions to the problems they have created. When I was a child, we were given instructions in the Greek classics, classical music, the arts. etc. Now these subjects have been pushed aside to make room for recycling, diversity, self-esteem, AIDS awareness ad nauseam. -Instead of admitting that theyre wrong, they promise to reform the American educational system by implementing even more of their inane ideas. Instead of punishing the thugs who kill their peers for sneakers and Starter jackets, they want to remove the temptation. We as a society need to wake up and tell these people, Weve seen what youve done\nwell take our chances with something else. This attempt at imposing school uniforms is only the latest ploy by the liberals to reward failure and penalize success. Do we want a cookie-cutter society? Do we want our children to follow the beat of the liberal drummer? What is the ultimate penalty wewill pay for trying to clone our children? Whats next if dressing all the children alike doesnt work? Maybe the next thing to try is shaving their heads and making them on this. I know that is the right thing for him to do.

J hope President Clipton will get backing Uniform policy needed As a product of the Little Rock public schools, a parent and a patron, I would like to strong encourage a district-wide school uniform policy. The public schools I attended were quite different from the ones my children do and will attend. The district has problemssome real, some perceived. Enrollment is dropping at a steady rate and it seems no one can or will admit that the problem is really quite simple. Parents want, expect and deserve a safe and secure environment for their children to grow and learn in. They want stability m school assignments and solid leadership from the administration. Mandatory school uniforms linked with increased discipline, such as the zerotolerance policy, would be a giant leap forward in reclaiming our public schools. Numerous educators around the country with firsthand experience in public school uniform policies provide strong evidence of the positive effects. It has been shown that school uniforms can improve student behavior, reduce violence, increase attendance, foster school pride and a sense of belonging, improve safety by easily identifying who belongs on camp^, eliminate gang-related colors and clothing, diminish perceived economic differences, help put the focus on the business at hand, i.e. education, and be affordably obtained. Parents opposed to the idea of school uniforms seem to have one main concern\nthat school uniforms will stifle their childs individuality and creativity. Wouldnt we rather our children be known for their inner self and true individuality rather than by the cool clothes they wear? How sad to think that the only way our children have to express themselves is through the pair oftennis shoes they have . on, not by the way they conduct themselves or through their ideas and talente. School uniforms are an old idea with new and promising possibilities. DRAKE A. HAWKINS little RockArkansas Democrat (gazelle | THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1996 , Emphasize self-esteem ' Let the schools allow self-esteem to be of utmost importance in their curriculums. When this happens, the thought that uniforms will solve our school problems will simply not be needed. JEAN WHITEHEAD Little RockArkansas Democrat (gazelle THURSDAY. JUNE 13, 1996. Letters School uniforms a bankrupt idea This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publishing of George Orwells Animal Farm. What a delightful and insightful hour or so of reading! Tlie reader could easily find it amusing on the surface and horrifying, upon further consideration, for its portrait of power gone mad. On the surface, mandatoiy school uniforms for virtually mandatory school attendance has a point, that being that the proliferation of muggings and sometimes killing of schoolchildren by schoolchildren because they were wearing a $100 pair of athletic shoes the perpetrator wanted... might be abated. This reminds me of the parent who told me of her 10-year-old daughters experience of having another student put his hand down the front of her dress on the playground during recess.,When the girl complained to the teacher on recess duty, she was told that if she would play in a different area of the playground, it probably would not happen again. TTie solution to crime is not to put public schoolchildren in uniforms. The solution would be for teachers, administrators, parents and persons of integrity to vigorously protest the sanction of envy.  Regardless of motive, school uniforms will only up the ante. School uniforms for public schoolchildren is a bankrupt idea. It displaces responsibility. It will inevitably place an increased tax burden on an already overtaxed population. It will, by policy, make a mockery of reason, evade principle, punish achievers through their children and communicate a perverted logic to any child who cares to reason for himself or\nherself. , Im sure cancer patients and their loved ones experience some sense of comfort when the Band-Aid is placed on the cancer\nat least something is being done.

I think they are fine if that is what the school au^orities and/or parents want. A student killing another student over an article of clothing points to a deeper problem with that child than that of simply coveting a jacket ora pair of tennis shoes. This makes a terrible statement about our society. Children learn what they are taught at home. They learn from examples set before them by those who are supposed to love and care for them more than anyone else does. Their parents or guardians are the ones who teach little children what choices to make in their lives. Unfortunately, those who are taught to make bad choices are not the only ones who suffer the consequences of those choices. solution to our problems in public schools or any other place was as simple as requiring uniforms. I daresay tliat ^oimd enough uniforms to go J am sure that President Clinton is not naive or unwise enough to believe that this IS the solution to our problems in public schools.

Most are elemenhiric.s but there are two middle schools and the Alternative Learning Center, a.s well. Since the early 1990s, the school district has left the question of instituting uniform policies to parents at each school. The district practice lias been to require a school to show that an ovci-whehning majority of parents support tlie implementation of a uniform policy. Now, in response to a 1999 state law, district officials will appoint a committee for the purpose of considering whether the district should adopt a unifonu dress code for students.\" Superintendent Les Canline said Friday that he hopes recommendations from an advisoi'y committee will move along the same lines  as llic cunent practice of allowing the school to decide the unifonu question for themselves. Hut, Caniine also said that eveiy practice can be improved upon and that the committee may have some ideas. School Board members agreed earlier this week that they will nominate two adults and one student from each of the seven school board election zones, plus a chainnan, to make up the committee. The board has the option to accept, reject or not act on whatever the advisoiy committee might recommend. If a committee recommends a uniform dress code and tlie board does not adopt one, then the issue could be placed on the ballot at the September school board election, according to the state law.

Forcing students to wear uniforms to school will not stop children from ridiculing each other. Instead of uniforms, lets double our effort to teach children tolerance and respect for everyone, regardless of their clothes, hairstyle, religion, rule or socioeconomic background. Schools need to be teaching tolerance, not taking away rights. When anyones rights are taken away, we all suffer. The goal of schools should be to produce intelligent, open-minded, clear-thinking, tolerant adults. That goal is impossible to achieve in an atmosphere that includes mandatory uniforms, urinalysis, random searches and curfew laws. Our children are being indoctrinated with the idea that individual rights can usurped by the needs of the government. This is a dangerous ideato be teaching tomorrows leaders. LYNDA ROGERS Bryanto o o CM co Proposal gives LR pupils a vote on uniforms o o o BY CYNTHIA HOWELL ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE Little Rock high school students wont be wearing uniforms to school unless the students themselves  not their parents  vote to do so, according to a proposed policy and set of regulations pending before the School Board. Middle school students also would get some say in how they have to dress, according to the regulations, but their parents would get a vote as well. In the elementary schools, only parents would do the voting on uniforms. The Little Rock School Board is scheduled to cast an initial vote Oct. 24 on a school uniform policy that would become final only after a second vote, probably in November. Board members reviewed the proposal at an agenda-setting session Thursday during which they also authorized district staff to negotiate lease agreements with four churches  Bethel AME Church, 815 16th St.\nSouthwest Community Church, 7400 Lancaster Road\nFirst Presbyterian Church, 800 Scott St.\nand the Temple of Restoration Church, 12825 Interstate 30 West  for classroom space for middle school students suspended one to 10 days from their regular schools. The classrooms would be staffed during regular school hours with Little Rock School District teachers and aides so the students could continue their lessons despite their suspensions. The students parents would have the choice of sending the suspended child to the shortterm alternative program. 'The program is being funded with the federal Safe Schools grant that the district received earlier this year. Use of the churches hinges on the district being able to lease the rooms within the budget set in the grant. 'The uniform proposal stems from a 1999 state law requiring school boards statewide to establish committees of parents and students to consider whether their districts should adopt a uniform dress code. The Little Rock committee submitted its recommendations last month. Several Little Rock schools, mostly elementaries, already have long-standing school uniform policies. According to the proposed policy, each school would continue to have the option of adopting uniforms. Specific groups within a school would have to propose a uniform policy for a school vote. Nominating groups would include a parent committee appointed by the Parent Teacher Association or the schools campus leadership team. Twenty percent of parents at an elementary school could petition for a vote on uniforms. Parents or students could petition at the middle schools and high schools, where student councils could also propose a vote. Each schools campus leadership team would actually establish the uniform code. The proposed uniform would have to fall within the limits set in the districts overall dress code regulations in the students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. To be adopted, the uniform would have to be approved by 80 percent of the eligible voters. A school could vote on a uniform code no more than once a school year, and it would have to be early enough in the spring that it could take effect the following fall. Students or their parents, depending on the students age, would have the ability to opt out of the required dress code without having to transfer to another school, according to the proposed regulations.Novembe r 1 7, 2 0 0 0 School uniform policy approved Board gives LR parents, pupils a say in whether clothes should look alike BY CYNTHIA HOWELL ARKANSA.S DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE The Little Rock School Bbard gave final approval Thursday to a dress-code policy that allows, but doesnt require, parents or students at individual schools to create their own school uniform rules. ' The new policy is accompanied i by regulations requiring 80 per- i cent of the parents of children in elementary school to approve the establishment of any uniform code. At the middle-school level, pupils will have some say in the way they dress, as 80 percent of the parents and the students must favor implementing a uniform policy at the middle grades. At the high school level, only an 80 percent supermajority of the students can vote uniforms into place. A student, the students parents or both  depending on the age of the student  can choose to have the student not wear the schools selected uniform. The student or the parent, however, must complete an opt-out form and submit it to school administrators before the student can be excused from the uniform code. Administrators should ask the family for a reason for opting out of the uniform policy, according to the regulations, but the family is not obligated to respond. If an opt-out form has not been completed, a student will be expected to comply with the school uniform code. The district regulations also include provisions on how a school would revoke a uniform rule. The School Board approved the dress policy, including the language on school uniforms, at the prompting of a requirement from the state that districts appoint citizen committees to consider school uniforms. More than a dozen of the Little Rock schools already operate with uniform policies that they put in place under earlier but less formal district regulations.\nThis project was supported in part by a Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives project grant from The Andrew W.
