She responds to the interviewer's checklist of questions, sharing the details of her leadership style, emphasizing her commitment to curriculum development, and describing her efforts to forge relationships with students in order to make them better citizens. Defreece started teaching in integrated schools in the 1960s, so she does not believe that desegregation affected her career a great deal. Her boundary crossing came years later, when she became Lumberton's first black female principal. She seems to purposely avoid talking about race, preferring instead to focus on the challenges of educational leadership outside of a racial context. She does worry, however, about \"losing\" male black students, who cause a disproportionate number of discipline problems. She concludes the interview with a call to black men to act as role models. Defreece's thoughts on race and education may be useful to researchers interested in race in a post-desegregation environment.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["African American high school principals--North Carolina","African American women school principals--North Carolina--Lumberton","High schools--North Carolina--Lumberton--Administration","Education, Secondary--North Carolina--Lumberton","Student-administrator relationships--North Carolina--Lumberton"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Loistine Defreece, February 16, 1991"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Pollitt. In this interview, Pollitt discusses his thoughts on race and athletics at UNC, as well as his involvement in student activism during the late 1950s and 1960s. Pollitt begins the interview by discussing the impact of the recruitment of African American athletes, like Charlie Scott -- the first African American athlete to attend UNC on scholarship -- and Bill Chamberlain. After describing how UNC's football coach was reluctant to recruit African American athletes on scholarship, Pollitt describes how he worked alongside Dean Smith as the faculty advisor to the campus NAACP to recruit Scott in the late 1960s. (Note: Pollitt says numerous times in the interview that Scott, and later Chamberlain, came to UNC in the late 1950s, but it was actually during the late 1960s.) Pollitt discusses how lingering racial tensions and discrimination in the broader community played a decisive factor in the recruitment of African American athletes. He devotes considerable attention to his work as a leader of the student YMCA-YWCA during the late 1950s and 1960s. Pollitt explains how the student Y was the center of student activism on campus during those years and describes in detail how he helped to organize Vietnam war protests among UNC students, even chartering buses to take students from UNC to Washington, D.C., to lobby their local legislators about the war and to participate in anti-war demonstrations. The interview concludes with Pollitt's brief discussion of his work with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which he elaborates on in later interviews.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["Law teachers--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","Discrimination in sports--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","College integration--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","African American college athletes--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill--Basketball","University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In this interview, he answers questions from the interviewer's checklist about the challenges of his position, his management style, and the details of his job. Mask does not talk explicitly about race and education a great deal, but his experiences as an educator in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s were marked by segregation. Among the most difficult challenges he faced was a lack of resources, and he was forced to find ways to fund basic services without help from the county. With help from the PTA and parents, he managed to create a cafeteria in the school's basement, supply the school with books and desks, and form a band and a basketball team. Desegregation brought more resources to the school, but also a new set of challenges, including heightened tensions with a segregationist superintendent. This interview provides a useful look at one black principal's efforts to provide for a school neglected by a racist policy.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["African American school principals--North Carolina--Hamlet","School principals--North Carolina","African American schools--North Carolina--Hamlet","High schools--North Carolina--Hamlet--Administration","African Americans--Segregation--North Carolina--Hamlet"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with J.

The special meeting was called as a result of a petition signed by fifty (50) citizens in accordance with Board policy. The president, Mrs. o. G. Jacovelli, presided. MEMBERS PRESENT: Mrs. O. G. Jacovelli Mr. John Moore Ms. Pat Gee Mr. Willie D. (Bill) Hamilton Mrs. Robin Armstrong Mr. Dorsey Jackson MEMBERS ABSENT: Dr. Katherine Mitchell EX OFFICIO MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Scott Morgan, Teacher Representative ALSO PRESENT: Dr. Ruth S. Steele, Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Pat Kumpuris, Recorder of the Minutes CALL TO ORDER: ROLL CALL: The president called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. The roll call revealed the presence of six (6) Board members. PURPOSE OF SPECIAL MEETING: The chair announced that the special meeting had been called in response to a petition from 50 citizens. Mrs. Jacovelli called on Mrs. Eleanor Coleman, president of the Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association. Mrs. Coleman told the Board that she assumed the position as president of the LRCTA with a number of goals, one of which was to bring harmony within the ranks of our members and the administration. She briefly reviewed her goals and told the Board that she would like to get back to work on those goals. She asked that the Board reconsider its vote of last week and allow the LRCTA to conduct a representative election. She reviewed her perception of the misunderstanding concerning campaigning on District property and assured the Board that she never intended to violate District policy nor did she conduct her business with malice. She further assured the Board that if it votes to allow the election, the policy will be followed. Mr. Frank Martin informed the Board that the sentiments expressed by Mrs. Coleman were the sentiments of all the union representatives and members. He told the Board that the LRCTA try to represent its members as well as it can and all they want is to be treated with dignity and respect. He told the Board that he fully understood management's responsibility. He asked the Board to give the ESP personnel a chance to choose their spokesman relative to hours, wages, and working conditions. Board members asked questions, following which Dr. Steele told the Board and audience that she appreciated the acknowledgment by Mrs. Coleman and Mr. Martin that District policy will be adhered to. She assured the Board that the administration will abide by it and the administration will enforce it. She reiterated that the situation the administration finds itself is that it is obligated to enforce the policies of the Board and it can't be selective in which ones it enforces and which ones it doesn't enforce. Dr. Steele recommended that the Board declare a thirty (30) day period starting today when no one says anything except for the fact that the investigation of the transportation department will continue. At the end of the thirty days the administration will provide to LRCTA a list of names and addresses of ESP employees derived from our payroll, which means that they should be as up to date as possible at that particular time. Then assuming that there are no violations of district policy, we will hold an election sixty days from today, which will actually be December 2 because that is the Monday, the closest time that the election can be held\nthat the campaign will be conducted according to Board policy and that Brady Gadberry and Frank Martin work out the details as to the voting procedures and present a recommendation for us to consider. In the meantime, an investigation of the Transportation Department will continue down two tracks: one will be an internal track where specific allegations will be investigated, and in fact that investigation is already proceeding by some individuals who are employed by our District in other departments they are investigating the charges that have been alleged and were alleged in the last meeting. Those include such things as sexual harassment, favoritism, and discouragement to join the union. The second track is a public track and that involves an evaluation of management practices and employee relations at the Transportation Department. For the last several days I have been involved in the process of selecting a committee to assist with that investigation, and I have asked several people to help us. There are two who have committed as of today to be on the committee and the others will let me know tomorrow or the next day as we form a balanced committee in terms of race and sex of people who are prepared to deal with the intricacies of the management of a large department, but two of the people who have committed to serve on that committee will be Mahlon Martin and Woodson Walker. Others will be added tomorrow. We will ask that they conduct as thorough investigation as they possibly can\nthat they talk with a number of people\nthat they issue findings of fact\nand that they come to us with some recommendations around those two broad areas. In the meantime between now and December 2, I think I have outlined generally what is supposed to be done during the sixty day period. The thirty days during which the campaign will be conducted between the end of October and the first of December should be done strictly according to Board policy and then the election can be held on December 2. In the meantime also, the policies of the previous contract and the provisions of the previous contract which the Board voted to leave in effect until such time as a new contract was established with the exception of grievance timelines and termination timelines will continue. That is my recommendation to the Board. Mr. John Moore moved the Superintendent's recommendation. Mr. Dorsey Jackson seconded the motion, and following discussion, it carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come within the call for the special meeting, the meeting adjourned at 6:26 p.m. upon motion by Mr. Moore, a second by Mr. Hamilton, and unanimous approval by the Board members. 1li,President Pat Gee, Secretary Approved:_/_/,_ _J_~ /~-9,~1/_ LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS SPECIAL MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1991 The Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District met in a lawfully-called special meeting at 6:04 p.m. on October 17, 1991, in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 819 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas.

Santi Ms. Mary A. McGehee Division of Demographic Research University of Arkansas at Little Rock Little Rock, AR 72204 501-569-8571 q February 9, 1991 q The present note is the fifth in a series of reports produced by UALR's Division of Demographic Research over the past couple of weeks on population change in the State and counties of Arkansas, q as reflected in recently released data from the 1990 Census of the Population. q q In the first note, we analyzed patterns of overall change from 1980 to 1990 in the population of Arkansas counties, and in a second installment, we decomposed these patterns of overall population change into portions attributable to natural increase (the excess of births over deaths), on the one hand, and to net Our third and fourth notes were q migration, on the other. concerned with population change among the two major racial groups in the State, showing first, how overall population growth rates differed between whites and blacks, and second, how the racial composition of Arkansas counties changed over the 1980s. qq In the present note, we merge these two lines of inquiry with race-specific decompositions of overall population growth in Arkansas counties into natural increase and net migration components (i.e., we perform such decompositions separately for the white and the black populations of the State). qq The logic of these decompositions is quite simple. We begin with the 1980 Census count of persons of a given race living in a particular county. We calculate a \"natural increase\" component by subtracting the number of deaths occurring to persons of that race over the decade from the number of births occurring to women of that race. Adding the natural increase component to the initial 1980 population gives us an \"expected\" 1990 population, which is then compared to the \"actual\" 1990 Census count to arrive at an estimated \"net migration\" component. 1 We recall that the recently released 1990 Census count of persons of all races showed an overall population growth for the State as a whole of 2.8%, which was decomposed into a 5.1% growth due to natural increase and a 2.3% loss due to net outmigration. I When we examine these numbers separately for whites and blacks, we see significant differences between the two racial groupings. The white population of the State of Arkansas experienced 2.9% overall growth during the 1980s, attributable to a 3.7% natural increase and net outmigration of 0.8 '6  By way of contrast, the black population experienced no overall growth during the 1980s (a measured increase of 144 persons, which constitutes 0.0% of the State's 1980 black population), due to the countervailing effects of 12.0% natural increase and 12.0% net outmigration. In the balance of this report, we examine population growth and its components at the county level, separately for whites and for blacks. Population Change and Its Components Among Whites The data on which this discussion is based are presented in 4 Each of the Tables lA, IB, IC, and ID, and Maps lA, IB, and IC. four tables contains the same basic information, and differ only in the order in which counties are listed. In Table lA, counties 4 4 are listed in alphabetical order, while in Tables IB, IC, and ID, counties are sorted in order of percentage change in population, percentage natural increase, and percentage net migration, respectively. Tables IB, IC, and ID present the detailed data that are presented in broader categories in Maps lA, IB, and IC, respectively. As far as overall change in the white population of Arkansas counties is concerned, the relevant data are presented in Table Thirty-nine of the State's 75 counties (just over IB and Map lA. ' _ half) experienced white population growth, while the remaining 36 experienced decreases. The greatest increases occurred in Faulkner, Benton, and Saline Counties, all of which experienced The I white population growth of 20% or more over the 1980s. greatest decreases were observed in the Delta counties of Phillips and Lee, each of which experienced white population 1 declines of approximately 20%. The major portion of white population growth in the State of Arkansas occurred in a northwestern quadrant delimited by drawing lines north and west from Lonoke County. Indeed, within this general area, only the counties of Pulaski, Newton, Conway, and Searcy experienced overall white population losses during the Outside of this northwestern quadrant, the counties of 1980s. Grant and Craighead also experienced fairly strong white population growth. Decreases were observed in the white populations of most counties in eastern and southern Arkansas, including those counties commonly referred to as Delta counties. Having reviewed patterns of overall growth and decline in the white population of Arkansas counties, we now turn to an examination of the specific demographic forces underlying these migration. patterns of overall change, i.e., natural increase and net \\ 1 . Data on patterns of natural increase are presented in Table IC and Map IB, while net migration data are displayed in M i i Table ID and Map IC. 2q Focussing first on patterns of natural increase, we observe that 57 of Arkansas' 75 counties (76%) experienced positive natural increase (i.e., more births than deaths) within their white populations. The overwhelming majority of these counties saw \"slight\" rates of natural increase, i.e., rates of less than \"Moderate\" rates of natural increase among whites (5.0% to 5.0%. q 9.9%) were observed in 12 of the State's more metropolitan counties. 7 '  ' '' ' --i-ij 10.0%. In no county did natural increase among whites exceed q Slight natural decreases among the white population (i.e., more deaths than births) were observed in 18 counties, the greatest The counties q being the 5.6% decrease seen in Baxter County, experiencing natural decrease were, of course, counties with \"older\" populations. q Despite the fact that 52.0% of Arkansas counties experienced growth in their white populations during the 1980s, only 41.3% the q (31 counties) experienced net inmigration of whites\nremaining 44 counties (58.7%) experienced net outmigration of whites. The counties of Faulkner, Benton, and Baxter experienced the highest rates of net white inmigration, all with 10-year inmigration rates of 19% or more. q At the other extreme were the Delta counties of Desha, Chicot, Phillips, and Lee, all of which experienced net white q outmigration of 19% or more. Indeed, all eastern or Delta  counties, with the exceptions of Lonoke, Greene, and Craighead, i experienced net outmigration of their white populations during These findings suggest that the lack of economic the 1980s. 1 q opportunities in the Delta affects whites as well as blacks, even though the economic status of whites who remain in the Delta is significantly better than that of their black counterparts. q This preliminary review suggests three distinctive \"types\" or \"patterns\" of population change among the white population of the q State of Arkansas. The first of these might be called the q \"metropolitan growth\" pattern, in which population growth is fueled both by solid rates of natural increase and strong net inmigration. The experiences of Faulkner and Benton Counties, the two fastest growing counties in the State, best exemplify this first growth pattern. The second basic pattern of white population change might be called the \"rural loss\" pattern, in which population declines occur as a result of strong forces of outmigration overwhelming lower rates of natural increase. This pattern is characteristic of most counties in eastern and southern Arkansas. A third pattern might be referred to as the \"older growth\" pattern, in which population growth is based exclusively on net inmigration offsetting the effects of negligible or even negative natural increase. this pattern of growth. Baxter and Cleburne Counties are exemplars of 3F In setting forth these three basic \"growth scenarios\", wenote that in no case does significant overall growth in the white population (i.e., growth of 5.0% or more) occur in the absence of net inmigration. Natural increase or decrease can enhance or retard overall rates of population growth for whites, but patterns of net migration appear to be the main driving force of population change among whites in the State of Arkansas.

I At the level of counties, increases in the overall size of the black population were observed in only 6 of the 35 counties for which data are available. (See Table 2B and Map 2A, and Note 1 I for a discussion of data limitations for the black population.) The remaining 29 counties (82.9% of the counties for which data are available) experienced decreases in their black populations I over the 1980s. (Note 1 also reminds us that these 35 counties I encompass 92% of the total black population of the State of Arkansas, so that these 35 counties provide fairly complete coverage of the black population.) The greatest increases in black populations occurred in Howard and Pulaski Counties, with black population growth of 17.4% and i 13.3%, respectively. Lincoln County experienced a 2.9% increase i in its black population during the 1980s, while Crittenden, Union, and Jefferson Counties experienced increases of under 1.0%. I At the other end of the continuum, 10 counties experienced overall black population declines of 10.0% or more, with the greatest decrease occurring in Monroe County, with a 22.9% drop. I a As we examine the demographic dynamics underlying these patterns of overall population change, we begin to see that the demographic experiences of whites and blacks in the State of Arkansas over the past decade are qualitatively as well as quantitatively different. I First, all 35 counties for which data are available showed natural increase (an excess of births over deaths) among their none showed natural decrease (an excess of black populations\ndeaths over births). (See Table 2C and Map 2B.) This contrasts with the experience of the white populations of Arkansas counties, of which 76.0% showed natural increase and 24.0% showed natural decrease. For the State as a whole, the total population (i.e., all races) showed a natural increase of 5.1%. For the black population, only three counties (Bradley, Hot Spring, and Calhoun) showed natural increase below that level. The highest rates of black natural increase were observed in Pulaski and Mississippi Counties, with percentage increases of 17.4% and 16.7%, respectively. However, almost as consistently as all 35 counties showed natural increase within their black populations, all but one of these 35 I counties showed net outmigration of blacks. (See Table 2D and Map 2C.) The only exception to this pattern of net outmigration 16 i V is Howard County in southwestern Arkansas, which showed 7.1% net inmigration of blacks. i V Thirty of the 35 counties for which data were available showed net black outmigration of 10.0% or more, with four of these counties (Desha, Phillips, Lonoke, and Monroe) showing net black outmigration of more than 25.0%.  When its 7.1% net black inmigration is considered together with its 10.3% black natural increase, we see how it came to pass that Howard County experienced the largest overall percentage increase in its black population (17.4%).  The experience of Howard County can be contrasted with that of Pulaski County, the county with the second largest percentage increase in its black population. In the case of Pulaski County,  the 13.3% increase in its black population is attributable to 17.4% natural increase (the highest in the State among any racial group) and 4.2% net outmigration.  This review of population change in the black populations of Arkansas counties suggests yet a fourth \"basic type\" of This pattern is 9 population change, the \"black Delta\" pattern. characterized by significant overall population decline, due to massive outmigration in the face of strong forces of natural increase. This pattern contrasts with the \"rural loss\" pattern 9 observed among whites, in which more moderate overall population declines are seen as the result of strong outmigration and weaker natural increase. 9 Even in the eastern Delta counties, where both white and black populations sustained significant losses during the 1980s, the contrast between the \"black Delta\" pattern and the more general 9 \"rural loss\" scenario is readily apparent. Indeed, the largest percentage decrease in white population occurred in Lee County, where the County's overall white population decline of 21.2% 9 9 exceeded the County's overall black population loss of 12.1%. However, when we decompose these overall decreases into natural increase and net migration components, we see that net black outmigration was nearly as large as net white outmigration (23.2% versus 21.9%) . 9 In Phillips County, the county with the second largest percentage decrease in its white population, the decomposition is even more interesting. Although Phillips County's overall percentage decrease in its white population was greater than that for blacks (19.8% versus 14.4%), decomposition analysis shows that the net outmigration rate for Phillips County blacks was greater than that of Phillips County whites (26.8% versus 22.8%). Although net migration appears to be the driving force of overall population change for blacks just as it is for whites, the strong rates of natural increase obseirved among blacks require that both factors be taken into account in any comparison of population change among whites and blacks in the State of Arkansas. 17 TABLE 2A: COMPONENTS OF CHANGE FOR THE BLACK POPULATION OF ARKANSAS COUNTIES, 1980 TO 1990 (COUNTIES SORTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)  COUNTY 1980 1990 CHANGE XCHNG, BIRTHS DEATHS HATING ZNATINC ESTMIG XESTMIG ii  II I I  i Arkansas Ashley Bradley Calhoun Chicot Clark Cleveland Columbia Conway Crittenden Cross Dallas Desha Drew Hempstead Hot Spring Howard Jackson Jefferson Lafayette Lee Lincoln Little River Lonoke Miller Mississippi Monroe Nevada Ouach i ta Phillips Prairie Pulaski Saint Francis Union Woodruff 4805 7237 4022 1706 9414 5079 1194 9242 2974 21207 5068 3957 8444 4886 7062 3014 2486 2887 36825 4189 8520 4794 3470 4218 9136 16164 5738 3398 11002 18410 1417 81407 14190 13970 3490 4738 6616 3648 1447 8859 4913 1059 8992 2876 21401 4782 3698 7139 4754 6464 2865 2919 2759 36877 3711 7487 4935 2931 3536 8625 16006 4422 3196 10739 15753 1294 92200 13521 14061 2991 -67 -621 -374 -259 -555 -166 -135 -250 -98 194 -286 -259 -1305 -132 -598 -149 433 -128 52 -478 -1033 141 -539 -682 -511 -158 -1316 -202 -263 -2657 -123 10793 -669 91 -499 -1.4 -8.6 -9.3 -15.2 -5.9 -3.3 -11.3 -2.7 -3.3 0.9 -5.6 -6.5 -15.5 -2.7 -8.5 -4.9 17.4 -4.4 0.1 -11.4 -12.1 2.9 -15.5 -16.2 -5.6 -1.0 -22.9 -5.9 -2.4 -14.4 -8.7 13.3 -4.7 0.7 -14.3 1065 1402 703 271 2027 885 225 1750 546 5333 1254 767 1847 974 1292 513 586 611 8146 726 1894 845 519 855 1770 4307 1180 568 2307 4563 262 21253 3490 3031 713 604 805 504 222 1182 544 134 1059 347 2341 516 482 928 447 814 367 330 357 3772 496 1060 447 317 400 932 1607 738 382 1377 2293 167 7062 1502 1697 472 461 597 199 49 845 341 91 691 199 2992 738 285 919 527 478 146 256 254 4374 230 834 398 202 455 838 2700 442 186 930 2270 95 14191 1988 1334 241 9.6 8.2 4.9 2.9 9.0 6.7 7.6 7.5 6.7 14.1 14.6 7.2 10.9 10.8 6.8 4.8 10.3 8.8 11.9 5.5 9.8 8.3 5.8 10.8 9.2 16.7 7.7 5.5 8.5 12.3 6.7 17.4 14.0 9.5 6.9 -528 -1218 -573 -308 -1400 -507 -226 -941 -297 -2798 -1024 -544 -2224 -659 -1076 -295 177 -382 -4322 -708 -1867 -257 -741 -1137 -1349 -2858 -1758 -388 -1193 -4927 -218 -3398 -2657 -1243 -740 -11.0 -16.8 -14.2 -18.1 -14.9 -10.0 -18.9 -10.2 -10.0 -13.2 -20.2 -13.7 -26.3 -13.5 -15.2 -9.8 7.1 -13.2 -11.7 -16.9 -21.9 -5.4 -21.4 -27.0 -14.8 -17.7 -30.6 -11.4 -10.8 -26.8 -15.4 -4.2 -18.7 -8.9 -21.2 State Totals 373768 373912 144 0.0 84607 39615 44992 12.0 -44848 -12.0  SOURCES\nDIVISION OF DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK.

The birth and death data used in this report come from two main sources. Data for the white population were compiled from  Arkansas Vital Statistics, an annual publication of the Arkansas Department of Health's Center for Health Statistics. Since this II locally produced publication has only recently begun to present data separately for blacks (as distinct from \"nonwhites\"), we were forced to turn to a different source for our birth and death data for the black population, vital Statistics of the United 11 States, an annual publication of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Center for Health Statistics. M However, the federal publication presents separate data for blacks only for counties whose nonwhite population numbered 10,000 or more or constituted 10.0% or more of the county's total population. As a result, our analysis of the black population is II restricted to those 35 Arkansas counties that met these criteria\nthose 35 counties did, however, encompass approximately 92% of the State's black population in both 1980 and 1990. II If la 25  dJ^ II Despite Differences in Overall Growth Rates, Racial Composition of the Population Remains Relatively Stable 11 Dr. Lawrence L. Santi Division of Demographic Research University of Arkansas at Little Rock II Little Rock, AR 501-569-8571 72204 II January 29, 1991 II A recent report by my colleague, Ms. Mary McGehee, examined black-white differences in rates of population growth for the State of Arkansas and its 75 counties (\"Changes in Population by Race for Arkansas: 1980-1990\", January 26, 1991). In the H present note, we will take another look at the race data from the 1990 Census. H In contrast to Ms. McGehee's report, which focussed on differential growth rates between whites and blacks, the present note concerns itself with the extent to which these patterns of differential change produced change in the racial composition of II Arkansas counties. More specifically, we will examine the black percentages of the 1990 populations of Arkansas counties and see the extent to which these patterns differ from those of 1980. (These data speak more directly to the headline of a story appearing in last Sunday's Arkansas Gazette, \"Racial mix in the Delta is shifting.\" that headline might suggest.) The present results are not as dramatic as The relevant data are presented in four tables which contain the same basic information but have the counties arrayed in different If sort orders. In Table 1, counties are sorted alpabetically by county name, while in Tables 2 and 3, counties are sorted in descending order of their black percentages for 1980 and 1990, El respectively. The data in Table 4 are sorted by the differences in the black percentage of Arkansas counties between 1980 and 1990. These data are also displayed in Maps 1, 2, and 3. II In general, these data show very little change in the racial composition of Arkansas counties from 1980 to 1990. In all, 31 II of Arkansas' 75 counties (41.3% of all counties) registered slight increases in the black percentages of their populations, 25 counties (33.3%) showed slight decreases, and the remaining 19 counties (25.3%) showed no change at all (i.e., change of less than 0.1%, up or down). More specifically, the adjective \"slight\" used above to modify the words \"increases\" and \"decreases\" means changes in black percentages of less than plus or minus 4.0%. Indeed, in only 13 counties did the black percentage increase by as much as a single percentage point, and in only 7 counties did the black percentage decrease by one point or more. The greatest increases in the black percentage of the population were observed in Chicot, Howard, Jefferson, Lee, Pulaski, andH n Arkansas Counties, all of whom experienced increases in their black percentages of 2.0% or more. II II At the other end of the continuum, the greatest decreases were seen in Lafayette, Lonoke, Calhoun, and Little River Counties, all of whom experienced decreases in their black percentages of 2.0% or more. As a summary assessment, patterns of population change in the State of Arkansas during the 1980s have done very little to alter the State's highly concentrated racial distribution. Only three II II counties in the State (Lee, Chicot, and Phillips Counties) had \"majority black\" populations in 1980, and these were the same three \"majority black\" counties in 1990. The remaining 72 counties in the State, and this includes most of those counties we commonly refer to as \"Delta counties\", have been and continue to be \"majority white\" counties. At the other extreme, 21 counties p8.0% of all Arkansas counties) had black populations which constituted less than 1.0% of their total populations in 1980, and the number of such counties increased to 23 (30.7% of all counties) by 1990. (Franklin County and Crawford Counties were the two counties that saw their black percentages slip from just over to just under the 1.0% mark.) H  M II The present note shows little change in the overall racial composition of the State and its counties during the 1980s. However, it is likely that this impression of overall stability in the racial composition of Arkansas' population masks important differences in the underlying population dynamics of the two major racial groupings in the State, and it is likely that these dynamics will vary across counties within the State. The complex n II task of sorting out the relative contributions of natural increase and net migration to the demographic experience of Arkansas during the 1980s is proceeding as the appropriate data become available.

In this interview, he describes the tensions surrounding the desegregation of public institutions of education in North Carolina during the mid-1970s. Dawson begins by discussing the Adams v. Richardson case, which scrutinized the state of desegregation in public education in ten southern states, including North Carolina. Focusing on the role of the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) in this process, Dawson explains how the current and future role of historically black colleges was an especially volatile subject. During this time, the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) called on historically white colleges and universities to continue moving forward with integration while also ensuring the preservation of historically black colleges and universities. In addition, Dawson explains how debates about whether the new state veterinary school should be established at North Carolina State University or at North Carolina A\u0026T became a central focus in the desegregation process. Dawson concludes the interview with a discussion of the negotiations between UNC President William Friday, Secretary of Education Joseph Califano, and HEW General Counsel Peter Libassi and his aide, David Breneman, which were demonstrative of the University of North Carolina's unique position in federal desegregation orders. Because of North Carolina's comparatively large number of historically black colleges, the state became a testing ground for the federal government to explore ways to integrate public education while preserving historically black colleges.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["University of North Carolina (System)--Officials and employees","College integration--North Carolina","Higher education and state--North Carolina","Federal-state controversies--North Carolina","University of North Carolina (System)","African American schools--North Carolina","Affirmative action programs in education--North Carolina"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Raymond Dawson, February 4, 1991"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES 1. student Education Plans (SEP's) shall be developed for each pupil who elects to attend the Aerospace Technology Magnet School. The plans shall be developed and then implemented in such a way as to insure that all pupils therein shall be \"mainstreamed\" into regular classes. If additional, out of class work is required in order to promote remediation to pupils to meet classroom work, the district shall offer it as needed at district expense either after school or on Saturdays. A principal objective of the SEP's is to allow the progress of each pupil to be measured periodically. It will also assist in determining individual teacher performance 4 05437 --- for evaluation purposes. 2. The school shall employ a sufficient number of teacher assistants to insure that the serious teaching and learning objectives of the Aerospace Magnet School shall be achieved. J. It is expected that all pupils who enroll in this school shall be promoted each year and graduate from high school on time and with appropriate educational credentials for further study and/or entry into college type programs. The only possible exceptions to this expectation are those pupils who, by objective standards, considered after sufficient time has expired for the SEP' s to work, demonstrate that they do not have either the capacity or interest for the required school work. 4. There shall be no \"tracking\" in the Aerospace Magnet School. Those teachers or other staff who either allow or engage in the practice shall be subject to formal discipline. Any discipline of teachers shall be in accordance with the Professional Negotiations Agreement (PNA). 5. The racial balance o f the student body of the Aerospace Magnet School shall bear a reasonable relationship to the racial balance of the other high schools. It initially shall be sixty percent (60%) black and forty percent (40%) white. The racial balance goal of the faculty shall be in reverse ratio due to the acknowledged shortage of black staff members. The district is committed, however, through the Settlement Plans, to increasing black staff by aggressive recruitment and by financial support for teacher aides who commit to obtain college training while on the 5 05438 i' i I, I I I 1:: i i I\njob and a period of employment thereafter for the district. 6. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be operated and supported by the district in those ways which do not diminish the status, faculty or student bodies of the other high schools. 7. All students at the Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be privileged to participate in all school activities at all times provided their school work is first addressed to the level of their respective capacities and is otherwise acceptable. By agreement and stipulation of the parties, Exhibit \"A\" is modified as follows: P.AGE 1\\.HENDMENTS Page 19 (Substitute first paragraph under caption \"HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION AND MAGNET SCHOOLS\") In 1986, the Federal District Court approved an interdistrict plan of desegregation between the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski county School Districts. interdistrict remedies of magnet schools and majority to minority That plan provided transfers. The percentage of black students in North Little Rock is approximately forty-six (46) and in Pulaski County is approximately thirty (JO).

I\nLittle Rock. Architectural Plans are being developed and it is hoped that the school will be opened in the fall of 1992 or soon thereafter. (As a footnote, the architects who are working on these plans have committed to make a biracial effort of their further work on this project.) Page 23 SIBLING PREFERENCE There is and shall be no sibling preference for Magnet School assignment. Thus item six (6) on Page 23 is deleted. Page 27 Program Objective II (substituted) The District plan to open the Aerospace Technology Magnet School at Metropolitan High School on September, 1991, provided this grant application is timely approved, with the further expectancy that in September, 1992 or sooner thereafter the new school will be opened. The racial balance of the school shall be a range of black students within fifty-five to sixty-five percent and a range of white students between thirty-five and forty-five percent. Those ~igures are comparable to the other senior high school enrollments. Pago 29 (Last sentence on the page) Central High School has been successful in attracting white students from the Pulaski County and North Little Rock School 7 05440  I' I I ----- - Districts. Page 32 (Supplement) Other standardized tests confirm the above disparities in test results between at least black and white students. The district is committed to fully addressing and remedying these disparities. To this end outcome objectives shall be formulated and implemented for students at all grade levels. In this way, students may be expected to have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace program. If those are not met, however, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. Page 36 (substitute) The Aerospace Technology Program will require students to have a firm grasp of basic skills. Those skills will be effectively taught to all students so that they will meet the high school standards in the areas of Algebra, Physical Science and Earth Science. The District will provide special support to underachieving pupils in order that those students may be equally successful in their classwork as the more advanced pupils. Page 52 (New paragraph 2) 8 05441 The planning process was not successful in including black citizens to the extent that it included white citizens as set out in paragraph one, supra. Committee in the process. !!or did it include the LRSD Biracial These unintentional omissions will be corrected forthwith and will not be repeated. The Biracial committee and Joshua shall be fully represented in the Magnet School Planning Committee described in the next paragraph and shall otherwise be utilized to insure that this school meets its goals and expectations. Page 58 (a new last sentence on the page) This summer program, which will be at school district expense, shall not be used to defer, delay or withhold ongoing remediation and supplemental assistance to achievement. This is intended to supplement the opportunities students have for maximizing their abilities within the school. Page 59 (supplementary language) A program o-f teacher developed incentives will be put into place to assist with the motivation of students at the Aerospace Magnet.

Outreach programs will be provided for all parents to inform them of the content of the aerospace program, opportunities for their students, and programmatic expectations for students' achievement. Special outreach efforts shall be made to parents of black and socio-economically deprived students to introduce these patrons to the program. Page 70 (new last paragraph) The foregoing staff is disproportionately white. The district is sensitive to this fact and shall work to insure that it, too, will be fully desegregated and integrated. Page 77 (supplemental language to paragraph two) The theme and focus shall permeate the entire program. Even courses such as physical education and physiology shall include concepts from math and science such as velocity, vector.s, and kinesthetics .

Special efforts will be made to insure that black and socio-economically deprived students shall have no less opportunity for academic success than other students. Page 106 (last paragraph added) The District will work with the business community in general and specifically with the aerospace/aviation industry to insre summer jobs, part-time employment, mentorships, apprenticeships, and employment after graduation for those students who seek it. Page 108 (addition regarding adjunct teachers) Adjunct staff will include mentors, role models, speakers for students. Seminars will also be held and guest to allow students to interact with minority and female individuals who have careers in science, math, and fields related to the Aerospace Magnet program. Page 111 (addition to end of second paragraph) The figure $278 which is included in the discussion of Magnet program costs refers to the eventual cost of Magnet components only and is to be considered in addition to the per pupil cost which the 11 05444 ! !

Arrangements will be sought with these colleges for college credit to be given for certain work completed at the Aerospace Magnet School and for the ins ti tut ions to assist the magnet graduates with educational career planning. The undersigned parties stipulate and agree that a modification of the Little Rock School District desegregation plan to include the Aerospace Technology Magnet School described in Exhibit \"A\" as modified a bove, subject to the contingencies described above, would largely complement their settlement plans and advance the voluntary desegregation efforts contemplated by those plans, al though the parties understand that this program might have a negative impact upon the further desegregation of Fuller Jr. High and Mills High Sc hool. It is therefore ordered that the Little Rock School District's desegregation plan is modified to include the Aerospace Technology Magnet School described in Exhibit \"A\", as modified by this Stipulation and Consent Ord e r, sub j ect to the . following contingencies: 1. The Little Rock School District must receive the Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant, for whi ch Exhibit \"A\" is its application, in a total amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for 1991-92 and 1992-93\nand 2.

Page 29 (Last sentence on the page) Central High School has been successful in attracting white students from the Pulaski County and North Little Rock School 7 05440 Districts. -- Page 32 (Supplement) Other standardized tests confirm the above disparities in test results between at least black and white students. The district is committed to fully addressing and remedying these disparities. To this end outcome objectives shall be formulated and implemented for students at all grade levels. In this way, students may be expected to have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace program. If those are not met, however, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. Page 36 (substitute) The Aerospace Technology Program will require students to have a firm grasp of basic skills. Those skills will be effectively taught to all students so that they will meet the high school standards in the areas of Algebra, Physical Science and Earth Science. The District will provide special support to underachieving pupils in order that those students may be equally successful in their classwork as the more advanced pupils. Page 52 (New paragraph 2) 8 05441 -- The planning process was not successful in including black citizens to the extent that it included white citizens as set out in paragraph one, supra. Nor did it include the LRSD Biracial Committee in the process. These unintentional omissions will be corrected forthwith and will not be repeated. The Biracial Committee and Joshua shall be fully represented in the Magnet School Planning Committee described in the next paragraph and shall otherwise be utilized to insure that this school meets its goals and expectations. Page 58 (a new last sentence on the page) This summer program, which will be at school district expense, shall not be used to defer, delay or withhold ongoing remediation and supplemental assistance to achievement. This is intended to supplement the opportunities students have for maximizing their abilities within the school. Page 59 (supplementary language) A program or teacher developed incentives will be put into place to assist with the motivation of students at the Aerospace Magnet. Page 60 (supplementary language to paragraph two) 9 05442 JJ -- outreach programs will be provided for all parents to inform them of the content of the aerospace program, opportunities for their students, and programmatic expectations for students' achievement. Special outreach efforts shall be made to parents of black and socio-economically deprived students to introduce these patrons to the program. Page 70 (new last paragraph) The foregoing staff is disproportionately white. The district is sensitive to this fact and shall work to insure that it, too, will be fully desegregated and integrated. Page 77 (supplemental language to paragraph two) The theme and focus shall permeate the entire program. Even courses such as physical education and physiology shall include concepts from math and science such as velocity, vector_s, and kinesthetics. Page 91 (new first paragraph) Student Education Plans (SEP' s) will be developed for all students. These SEP's will vary according to past student achievement. Appropriate intensive counseling will provide assistance and direction to students to insure that their 10 05443 I -- potentialities are developed to the fullest possible extent by virtue of their involvement in this program. Special efforts will be made to insure that black and socio-economically deprived students shall have no less opportunity for academic success than other students. Page 106 (last paragraph added) The District will work with the business community in general and specifically with the aerospace/aviation industry to insre summer jobs, part-time employment, mentorships, apprenticeships, and employment after graduation for those students who seek it. Page 108 (addition regarding adjunct teachers) Adjunct staff will include mentors, role models, and guest speakers for students. Seminars will also be held to allow students to interact with minority and female individuals who have careers in science, math, and fields related to the Aerospace Magnet program. Page 111 (addition to end of second paragraph) The figure $278 which is included in the discussion of Magnet program costs refers to the eventual cost of Magnet components only and is to be considered in addition to the per pupil cost which the 11 05444 I 1 I 1 I district expends, which is $2,165 on average at non-magnet, nonincentive schools. Page 116 (supplement to paragraph one) Success shall further be determined by analysis of statistics related to: number of program graduates employed in Arkansas aviation industry by race and gender number of program graduates entering post-secondary education especially fields related to math, science\nand aerospace technology by race and gender decrease in dropout rate as compared to other high schools such that the number of black students in the graduating class will be equivalent to the percentage of black students enrolled in the program Page 119 (final paragraph) The evaluatOr(s) will work closely with the school staff and be both sensitive and responsive to inquiries raised by the Joshua Intervenors, the district and/or school biracial committee(s) and the Office of Desegregation Monitor(ing). Page 146 (new paragraph three) 12 05445 'I I I 1,, : I I I 1 I I I ' I I -- There shall be a collaborative effort between the school district, Henderson State University and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Arrangements will be sought with these colleges for college credit to be given for certain work completed at the Aerospace Magnet School and for the institutions to assist the magnet graduates with educational career planning. The undersigned parties stipulate and agree that a modification of the Little Rock School District desegregation plan to include the Aerospace Technology Magnet School described in Exhibit \"A\" as modified above, subject to the contingencies described above, would largely complement their settlement plans and advance the voluntary desegregation efforts contemplated by those plans, al though the parties understand that this program might have a negative impact upon the further desegregation of Fuller Jr. High and Mills High School. It is therefore ordered that the Little Rock School District's desegregation plan is modified to include the Aerospace Technology Magnet School described in Exhibit \"A\", as modified by this Stipulation and Consent Order, subject to the ~ following contingencies: 1. The Little Rock School District must receive the Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant, for which Exhibit \"A\" application, in a total amount of Four Million ($4,000,000.00) for 1991-92 and 1992-93\nand is its Dollars 2. The Arkansas Aviation Historical Society must contribute 13 05446 I I: - at least Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($ 4,500,000.00) as its share of the construction costs of the Aerospace Education Center which will house both the Aerospace Technology Magnet School and the Aerospace Museum. If either of these contingencies does not happen, the Little Rock School District will have no obligation to build the school or implement the Aerospace Technology program described in Exhibit \"A\".

The meeting was scheduled to precede the first National Leadership Institute on Aerospace Magnet Schools, co-hosted by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Little Rock School District. Committee members present were: J. Dan Baker, F. Taylor Brown, Frederick J. Menz, Maj. Gen. James Ryan, Charles M. Taylor, Wayne Bennett, Henry Broach, Marion B. Burton, Edgar K. Riddick and Lucien M. Taillac. Special guests were: Pat Gee - Little Rock School Board Member, Jim Dailey - Vice Mayor of the City of Little Rock, Tom Dalton - Manager of the City of Little Rock, Tony Wood - Deputy Superintendent of the Little Rock School District, Julie Speed - Special Assistant to Congressman Ray Thornton, Phillip Woodruff - Director of Aviation Education for the Federal Aviation Administration and Aerospace Education Center contributors Philip Jonsson, James Hamlen, Warner Gamer, Ruth Remmel and Emma Hall. The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Dick Holbert. Mr. Holbert introduced Lucien M. Taillac, who reported on the fundraising progress to date. The cumulative total is $4,160,047.19 of the campaign's $6.5 million goal. This figure included $2.0 million in public funds - $1.5 million State of Arkansas and $500,000 from the City of Little Rock. A total of $2,660,047.19 has been pledged from foundation, corporate and personal gifts. The capital campaign of the Aerospace Education Center began in October 1990, and is scheduled to conclude in October 1992. Mr. Taillac recognized the contributors to the Aerospace ,, Education Center and expressed his deepest appreciation to all that helped the campaign reach 65% of its goal. Mr. Holbert gave special recognition to the City of Little Rock for their recent commitment of $500,000 for site improvements. This gift from the city will assist the Aerospace Education Center leadership in leveraging foundation support outside the state of Arkansas. Julie Speed, Special Assistant to Congressman Ray Thornton, reported on recent legislation passed by Congress that was signed by President Bush on October 28 enabling the FAA to grant funds to four aerospace magnet schools within the United States and 57 workshop programs. This legislation was initiated by Congressman Thornton and Senator Bumpers after former FAA Administrator James Busey delivered the keynote address at the April 12 Aerospace Education Center campaign kick-off luncheon. The FAA has become a national partner in the development of the museum/school facility, and was recently joined by NASA after a November visit to Arkansas by Dr. Eddie Anderson, Director of Elementary and Secondary Education for NASA. Mr. Holbert then introduced Mr. Phillip Woodruff, Director of Aviation Education for the FAA and coordinator of the National Leadership Institute on Aerospace Magnet Schools. He and Tony Wood discussed the itinerary of the Institute and participants, including school representatives from Long Beach, California, Phoenix, Arizona, Louisville, Kentucky, DuVal, Maryland and Atlanta, Georgia. Curriculum consultant Dr. Merv Strickler gave opening remarks at the Institute, followed by a presentation by each of the school districts represented. The keynote address of the Institute was given by Alicia Coro, Director of School Improvement Programs for the U.S. Department of Education. Ms. Coro oversees the $1.5 billion in federal funds that are distributed as grants and various educational assistance programs. Pat Gee, Little Rock School Board Member, gave supportive remarks on behalf of the District to the Aerospace Education Center's leadership, FAA, Department of Education and city and state officials that are working to make the Aerospace Education Center a first for Little Rock and Arkansas. As new business, Cathy Johnson announced that a special luncheon was being planned for February 6, 1992. This luncheon will feature two astronauts, Lt. Col. Donald McMonagle and Dr. Gerald Carr who will give the history and future of the space program. Mr. T. Wendell Butler, National Director of the Young Astronaut Program, and Dr. Eddie Anderson will also be making remarks. Lt. Gov. Jim Guy Tucker will be Master of Ceremonies. Information will be mailed around January 1 for reservations. Mr. Holbert concluded the meeting and invited all to attend the welcoming reception, hosted by the Aerospace Education Center leadership for the National Leadership Institute of Aerospace Magnet Schools.

Little Rock School District February 4, 1992 Mrs. Cathy Johnson Cathy Johnson \u0026amp; Associates 425 ii. Capitol Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mrs. Johnson: since early in my tenure as Superintendent of the Little Rock School District, th~re has peen much interest in the establishment of what has come tobe known as the Aerospace Education Center: a joint-use facility consisting of a museum sponsored and operated by the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society, and a magnet school, built by the Little Rock School District. The idea for the Center was included in the Tri-District Desegregation Plan and supported by the School Board. The Board committed to building the school following the successful millage election in April, 1990. Realizing that operation of the Aerospace School would be impossible without an additional infusion of money and believing that the concept of the school warranted review by the u. s. Department of Education's Magnet School Assistance Program, the District filed a grant application in December, 1990, for $4 million to operate the school. Subsequently, a court hearing was held, followed by a series of meetings with representatives for the Joshua Intervenors to make certain that their views as a party in the lawsuit were represented in the grant application. In July, 1990, the District learned that its grant application had not been approved. Since then various ideas have been discussed as to how the school could be funded and operated. In my opinion, the time has come to explore other funding possibilities since the posi~ion ot the Little Rock School District remains what it has been all along: that we can build the school but we cannot operate it since dollars which would be used to do so would have to be taken rrom existing schools and programs. I believe such discussions need to be held with individuals who have expressed interest in this project and whose experience and involvement would be helpful in discussing various funding options. I would like to invite you to be a participant in these discussions at a luncheon meeting to be held in my office on February 12, 1992 at 12 noon. If you are unable to be present, I invite you to send 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock, Arkansas n201  (501)~242000 ------------ ------------  - .. -- - . .

Aerospace magnet schools are feasible (and fun). 2. Initiation, operation, and growth of an aerospace magnet school requires commitment of:  All participating school districts.  The Federal Government: DoEd, FAA, NASA, DoD, etc.  Local Industry. 3. The aerospace magnet school Program Manger is vital to the success of the Program.  The Program Manager should devote full time to program management (i.e., no teaching duties).  The Program Manager need not be a science or math teacher, or a former pilot (or astronaut).  Communications skills, dedication, and a \"can do\" attitude are all-important. 4. There is a wealth of material, equipment, people and assistance available to start an aerospace magnet school program.  Program startup requires money, and a lot of hard work and long hours on the part of the Program Manager and program teachers.  A high degree of cooperation, materials and assistance can be expected from Program Managers and others in existing programs. 5. An aerospace magnet program should begin as early as possible (fourth grade, or earlier).  The potential success for a two-year program beginning with the eleventh grade is judged low by the Program Managers we visited. It II  - - ..U '' ! '! - I,, '! ' I II I! II \" \"I II 'I 'I ..!J.

I appreciate your returning my call. We covered a number of issues. For your benefit and mine, and for the benefit of the board members, the following is a summary of our discussion: 1. The School District and the Aviation Historical Society along with UALR, shall not pursue an effort to submit a joint proposal to incorporate the Arkansas School for Mathematics and Science with the Aerospace Education Center. Since applications must be submitted no later than April 3rd, the time is simply not available to structure a winning proposal. 2. The Historical Society will continue to work with the School District to bring the Aerospace Education Center to fruition. The worth of the project to the community demands it and the voters in the last millage election have every right to expect it. The Historical Society will continue to assist the School District in any way that it can to help the District overcome its financial concerns about the project. Specifically, the Historical Society shall: a. Engage Dr. Mervin Strickler to draft a model aerospace curriculum for grades 7 through 12, the costs for which shall be borne by the Society. b. Underwrite at the cost of approximately $21,000, the fee for Ms. Gail Quinn of Long Beach, CA to assist in the preparation of a Magnet School Assistance Grant Proposal, the deadline for which is December 15, 1992. A copy of Ms. Quinn's proposal and the scope of her work is attached. c. Assist Senator Jerry Jewell in an effort to obtain state funds for the operation of the Aerospace Education Center whose outreach shall extend throughout the state. Presumably the program will be patterned after the State Math and Science School except that there shall not be an exclusive \"residential\" focus. Page Two Dr. Ruth Steele d. Investigate funding possibilities through a collaboration with UALR. e. Investigate funding possibilities through private foundation sources. 3. The School District shall continue the planning process with the Historical Society with a view to overcoming any impediments to the implementation of the project. Specifically, the School District shall: a. Identify and quantify any impediments. b. Assign staff necessary to assist Dr. Mervin Strickler with formulation of an aerospace curriculum for grades 7 through 12. c. Assign staff necessary to assist Ms. Gail Quinn with the formulation and drafting of a Magnet School Assistance Grant Proposal for submission not later than December 15, 1992. d. Send staff necessary to Washington, D.C. March 18 through March 21st for a Magnet Schools and Desegregation Programs National Conference. Representatives from the District, Historical Society and Ms. Quinn are especially invited to attend a private conference with Department of Education officials on Saturday, March 21st, following the National Conference. An itinerary and details of the Conference are attached. e. Following receipt of a letter from Congressman Thornton's office outlining the parameters of a new grant program in support of secondary education administered by the Federal Aviation Administration, and after consulting with the Historical Society, submit a grant proposal. f. Draft a proforma expense statement of the cost of operating the Aerospace Education Center considering several scenarios, i.e., startup, Junior High components, Metropolitan Vo Tech participation, to the full blown 900 student high school. The members of the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society and the Aerospace Education Center Campaign Leadership recognize the difficulties, financial and otherwise, that you and the school board members face in administering the school district. Each of you deserves a special \"thank you\" for your service to your community. The Aerospace Education Center is conceived to help you raise the Little Rock School District to this area's number one economic asset. Doing so will significantly minimize your collective burdens and simultaneously catapult Little Rock into a period of growth unprecedented in its history. It is in this spirit and this hope that we work. Sincerely, ARKANSAS AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Richard N. Holbert Chairman of the Board Aerospace Education Center Planning Meeting Agenda February 28, 1992 Options for the Aerospace Education Center I.

I appreciate your returning my call. We covered a number of issues. For your benefit and mine, and for the benefit of the board members, the following is a summary of our discussion: 1. The School District and the Aviation Historical Society along with UALR, shall not pursue an effort to submit a joint proposal to incorporate the Arkansas School for Mathematics and Science with the Aerospace Education Center. Since applications must be submitted no later than April 3rd, the time is simply not available to structure a winning proposal. 2. The Historical Society will continue to work with the School District to bring the Aerospace Education Center to fruition. The worth of the project to the community demands it and the voters in the last millage election have every right to expect it. The Historical Society will continue to assist the School District in any way that it can to help the District overcome its financial concerns about the project. Specifically, the Historical Society shall: a. Engage Dr. Mervin Strickler to draft a model aerospace curriculum for grades 7 through 12, the costs for which shall be borne by the Society. b. Underwrite at the cost of approximately $21,000, the fee for Ms. Gail Quinn of Long Beach, CA to assist in the preparation of a Magnet School Assistance Grant Proposal, the deadline for which is December 15, 1992. A copy of Ms. Quinn's proposal and the scope of her work is attached. c. Assist Senator Jerry Jewell in an effort to obtain state funds for the operation of the Aerospace Education Center whose outreach shall extend throughout the state. Presumably the program will be patterned after the State Math and Science School except that there shall not be an exclusive \"residential\" focus. Page Two Dr. Ruth Steele d. Investigate funding possibilities through a collaboration with UALR. e. Investigate funding possibilities through private foundation sources. 3. The School District shall continue the planning process with the Historical Society with a view to overcoming any impediments to the implementation of the project. Specifically, the School District shall: a. Identify and quantify any impediments. b. Assign staff necessary to assist Dr. Mervin Strickler with formulation of an aerospace curriculum for grades 7 through 12. c. Assign staff necessary to assist Ms. Gail Quinn with the formulation and drafting of a Magnet School Assistance Grant Proposal for submission not later than December 15, 1992. d. Send staff necessary to Washington, D.C. March 18 through March 21st for a Magnet Schools and Desegregation Programs National Conference. Representatives from the District, Historical Society and Ms. Quinn are especially invited to attend a private conference with Department of Education officials on Saturday, March 21st, following the National Conference. An itinerary and details of the Conference are attached. e. Following receipt of a letter from Congressman Thornton's office outlining the parameters of a new grant program in support of secondary education administered by the Federal Aviation Administration, and after consulting with the Historical Society, submit a grant proposal. f. Draft a proforma expense statement of the cost of operating the Aerospace Education Center considering several scenarios, i.e., startup, Junior High components, Metropolitan Vo Tech participation, to the full blown 900 student high school. The members of the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society and the Aerospace Education Center Campaign Leadership recognize the difficulties, financial and otherwise, that you and the school board members face in administering the school district. Each of you deserves a special \"thank you\" for your service to your community. The Aerospace Education Center is conceived to help you raise the Little Rock School District to this area's number one economic asset. Doing so will significantly minimize your collective burdens and simultaneously catapult Little Rock into a period of growth unprecedented in its history. It is in this spirit and this hope that we work. Sincerely, ARKANSAS AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Richard N.

While the long term prognosis for community support is excellent, especially in light of this week's actions by the legislature, there are problems in the near term which could further delay, if not permanently dismantle the project. This week's legislative session will result in the State of Arkansas effectively adopting an industrial policy which places aerospace as its top priority. It is ironic that while this action, which enjoys almost universal support due to its promise of improved economic opportunity for people throughout the state, comes at a time when the Aerospace Education Center is suffering from a lack of commitment from the educational partner, which should be its most enthusiastic partner. Without digressing into personality issues, the simple fact is that the AEC leadership cannot count on the LRSD to provide conclusive assistance toward the creation of the Center. Realistically, we must find the answers to all the problems which must be solved, including the operational funding problem. In short, the District will finally accept the Center when it is either handed to them on a silver platter, or they are convinced to move forward by a broad consensus of the Little Rock community. Acknowledging this fact, we must then ask ourselves if we wish to take on this burden. Do we feel strongly enough about the benefits this project will bring to our state, our community, and our children? Are we willing to step forward to provide the bold, yet uncomfortable leadership steps necessary to move the project out of a limbo which would condemn it to certain failure? At this juncture it is necessary to decide that we must, to paraphrase, ~Either lead, follow, or get out of the way.\" There are three possible options to pursue, excepting for the time being the final option, which is simply to throw in the towel, quit, and let the LRSD say that it was all our fault. OPTION #1 - STAY THE COURSE The first option is to work a compromise or deal with the Little Rock School District, to pursue a collaborative effort to provide the first two ears of operational funding for the Aerospace Technology Magnet, as envisioned in our planning for the Aerospace Education Center to date. Several ways exist to provide all or a part of this money. However, all are predicated on the commitment by the school district of the $6 million in construction funds provided for in the millage approved by the voters in 1990. The District acknowledges that the public voted for the aerospace school. Operation funding options include: 1. A guarantee of operational funds for the first two years by private sources, either in lieu of federal or state funding, or to alleviate any shortfall if these sources provide only partial funding to the school. 2. Successful application for a U. S. Department of Education Magnet School Assistance Grant of up to $8 Million. a. The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation has already allocated funds to hire Dr. Merv Strickler, identified by the FAA as the foremost expert in the nation on aerospace curriculum, as a consultant to prepare the specialized aerospace curriculum for the magnet school. b. In addition, the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation has received a proposal to hire Ms. Gail Quinn, coordinator of the Long Beach Unified School District's aerospace program, as a consultant to prepare the grant application for the Little Rock School District. 3. Seeking of direct state funding for the school during the 1993 General Assembly. Senator Jerry Jewell has offered to pursue operational funds, to enhance the development of aerospace industries. 4. Internal funding, primarily consisting of passage of a millage increase for the Little Rock School District in the Spring of 1993, with a specific line-item of operational funds for the Aerospace Technology Magnet High School. This line-item would be a quid pro quo for our support for the millage. This would also include commitment of Majority-to-Minority incentive funds ($2,000 per student, per year) from the state for students from outside the LRSD. 2 To pursue any of these courses, a willingness by the LRSD to cooperate is necessary. This cooperation would include working with the Campaign Leadership, the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, Dr. Strickler, Ms. Quinn, and UALR officials on issues including, but not limited to: 1. The Magnet School Assistance Grant Application 2. Development of the Aerospace Curriculum Plan 3. Identification of equipment needs 4. Coordination of participating schools, including UALR, Henderson State University, Metropolitan Area Career Center, and the \"feeder\" junior high schools. 5. Development of a pro-forma operational budget. 6. Estimation of costs and timetables for groundbreaking, construction, and opening. OPTION #2 - THE LONG BEACH PLAN The second option involves the essential ~bandonment of the unique character envisioned for the Aerospace Education Center, i.e., a combined aviation museum and school in one entity. Described as the \"2+2+2 Plan,\" the Long Beach Unified School District utilized a specialized aerospace curriculum at two magnet schools each at the elementary, junior high, and high school level, as well as postsecondary programs at two institutions of higher education. This option would dramatically change the direction of the project, and would move toward implementation of the aerospace curriculum in existing LRSD schools by the fall of 1993, in coordination with the Magnet School Assistance Grant. If this option is pursued, specialized aerospace programs would be coordinated at the postsecondary level by Henderson State University and UALR. This plan could be implemented with a minimum of expense by the LRSD, as existing classrooms, teachers, and facilities would be utilized. OPTION #3 - UALR AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY MAGNET HIGH SCHOOL This option would not substantially modify the thrust of the Aerospace Education Center as originally envisioned. The Center would still be constructed at the airport as a combination aviation museum and magnet high school. It would still be a contributing part of the Pulaski County desegregation plan, but the high school would be administered by UALR as an area school, or as an aerospace academy. 3 If this option were to be pursued, the federal grant could possibly work within Federal guidelines. The avenue of state funding, with UALR to administer the school in coordination with AIDC, the Arkansas Industry Training Program, and other industrial development efforts, would become more viable. The option to include UALR or Henderson State University as a meaningful partner in the Aerospace Education Center is not predicated on the Little Rock School District not participating. Rather, serious consideration should be given to expanding the partnership to include institutions of higher educat' n, whicn wou compliment the existing mix of public schools, aviation industries, and the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society. OPTION #4 - GOVERNOR'S MATH \u0026amp; SCIENCE SCHOOL This is not a realistic option, as the grant deadline is April 3, 1992. CONCLUSION It is evident that a decision must be made soon by the Aerospace Education Center Campaign and its leaders on how to proceed to complete this endeavor. We could decide to put our final decision \"on hold\" until the LRSD completes its change of administration. Obviously, if Option 1 is to be considered as an ultimate possibility, it is in our best interest to take an active role in the selection process for the new superintendent. A strong political push is necessary to sway the Little Rock School Board and Administration to get fully behind the project. A concerted effort must be mounted to unite the following groups, individuals, and entities behind the project: A. Little Rock's Black Community B. The City of Little Rock C. AIDC - Dave Harrington D. Governor Clinton's Aerospace Task Force E. Arkansas' 46 Aerospace Industries F. Higher Education Institutions, including UALR, Henderson State, UAPB, UAMS, UCA, etc. G. Federal agencies, including FAA and NASA H. Arkansas' Congressional Delegation I. State Officials, including Lt. Governor Tucker J. Federal District Court, through Ann Brown. K. Little Rock Airport Commission L. Little Rock Air Force Base M. Aviation Groups, e.g., Arkansas Pilots Association, 99's, etc. 4  While it may be that no final action should actually be taken in the near term, the groundwork for that action must be done D..Qli. We are moving toward the final phase of defining the project. Most all plans we have made to date can be reversed or modified. We are now coming to the time that plans must give way to decisions. There is tremendous support for what is acknowledged to be one of the most innovative educational institutions in the world. It is our duty to not let the shortsightedness and parochialism of a few persons condemn it to failure. The group in attendance at Ruth and Rollie Remmel's dinner has scheduled its second meeting, to be held this Friday at 12 noon at Mrs. Remmel's home, 8 Broadview Terrace. Though no conclusive decisions were reached, the ideas in this memorandum were brought forth by those in attendance. This week's agenda will be to pursue the most feasible option so that the Aerospace Education Center may move forward, at to set objectives to achieve that goal. Please let me know if you can attend, and your thoughts on the information contained within. 5 National Advisory Board Dr. Eddie Anderson Col. Walter J. Boyne Lt. Gen. Benjamin 0. Davis Gen.

Washington, D.C. 20591 Dear Mr. Harris: on behalf of all of us involved in the Aerospace Education center project here in Little Rock, let me congratulate you on your appointment as Acting Administrator of the FAA. We enjoyed a cordial and mutually productive relationship with your predecessor, Admiral James Busey, and look forward to continuing this progressive relationship under your leadership. When Admiral Busey delivered the keynote address to the Aerospace Education Center's campaign kickoff in Little Rock last April, he recognized the vision we have for this absolutely unique ins ti tut ion. The Center, which combines an aerospace magnet public high school with an aviation museum, will operate as a synergistic unit that both teaches and inspires young people of all races and economic backgrounds to attain careers in aerospace and other technology fields. In his remarks, the Admiral pledged his full support for any endeavor in which the FAA could assist in bringing our ambitious plans to fruition, calling the Center \"a model for the nation.\" Afterwards, the Admiral flew back to Washington, accompanied by two Arkansas Congressmen, John Paul Hammerschmidt and Ray Thornton. During their flight, these three leaders discussed ways that FAA authority could be broadened to allow direct assistance to the Aerospace Education Center, and how the Center could become an integral part of the FAA's strategy to meet anticipated demands for aerospace workers, keeping America the world leader in this vital field. This discussion and pledges of mutual support led our Congressional Delegation to initiate the successful effort last fall to amend the FAA appropriation bill to allow direct funding of a limited number of aviation secondary schools. Our plans have moved forward to make this not only a model for aviation education, but also a model of public/private cooperation in education. Arkansas' aerospace industries have pledged their full support for the Center, recognizing the ultimate benefit to 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock, Arkansas 72201  (501).324-2000 Mr. Barry Lambert Harris March 26, 1992 Page 2 their companies of a cooperative efforts, curriculum, preparing 21st Century. highly trained workforce. Through these we intend to achieve a model aerospace these students for the skill needs of the While Admiral Busey recognized our concept as a \"model for the nation,\" we realize that it is incumbent upon us to live up to his commendation. With your help, we intend to create a program that can be emulated with positive results all across the nation. At this time, the Little Rock School District has pledged $6 million to construct the Aerospace Technology Magnet High School, the publicly funded portion of the Center. Our partners, the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society, have informed us that they have already raised over $4.5 million of their campaign goal of $6.5 million for the museum component of the Center. The Arkansas Legislature has provided a $1.5 million challenge grant for the museum, and the State Energy Office recently approved a $363,000 grant to the Center for our planned state-of-the art energy management system. In addition, the City of Little Rock has provided $500,000 for site improvements, and our Airport Commission has agreed to lease us the Center's 19.8 acre site for 99 years at $1 per year. As you can see, the Aerospace Education Center is truly a partnership, in every way. We have found that the challenges of creating a world class project here in Little Rock have been continually met by our friends and supporters of aviation education, both in Arkansas and across the country. Several resources have been made available to us, including the opportunity to obtain a ready-made aviation library, which is one of the finest in the world. Our advisors indicate that this library, owned by Mr. Jay Miller of Dallas, Texas, would be impossible to duplicate at more than twice the price of attaining it. The Aerospace Education Center can obtain this collection for a total cost of $800,000. This would greatly augment our plans, offered by Admiral Busey, to designate the Aerospace Education Center as an FAA Resource Center. w~ respectfully request that you provide this designation at the appropriate time. To extend our educational opportunities in aerospace beyond the normal high school curriculum, we intend to develop for the Aerospace Education Center, in conjunction with the Metropolitan Area Career Center, an airframe and powerplant training program. This would provide the equivalent of the first year of the standard \"A \u0026amp; P\" license program for students. Mr. Barry Lambert Harris March 26, 1992 Page Three We estimate the costs of initiating the airframe and powerplant training program to be $250,000, including staff, tools and equipment. This program, combined with the available resources in the Miller library materials, will ensure that the Aerospace Education Center offers one of the finest and cost-effective programs in avaition education in the nation. The cost of these two programs would total $1,050,000. On behalf of the Little Rock School District and our partners in the Aerospace Education Center project, we respectfully request a grant in that amount to fund the items, which we deem to be vital components of this unprecedented cooperative venture. This grant would be made under the new authority to fund aviation secondary schools granted by Congress last year. If my staff, others involved in the Aerospace Education Center project, or I may answer questions or otherwise assist on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us. RSS:nr cc: Admiral James B.
