In this interview, he briefly describes his education and how he entered the ministry. He spends most of the time discussing the controversies that occurred during his tenure at the church. The regional presbytery disapproved of his decision to allow African American Presbyterians to attend the church and to provide shelter to Freedom Riders after they left Durham, North Carolina. Jones also went against church rules by not having his members read the Article of Faith during service. He describes how the presbytery tried to force him to move to another church, pledge support for the Article of Faith, and segregate the church. Some local whites, including students and faculty at the University of North Carolina, supported Jones throughout this process. Nevertheless, he was eventually expelled from the Presbyterian Church for his views on race and faith. The interview closes with his opinions on the inevitable failure of the \"separate but equal\" doctrine and whether John Egerton, the interviewer, was correct in seeing the period between 1945 and 1950 as a missed opportunity for improvement in race relations.","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":["North Carolina--Politics and government","Chapel Hill (N.C.)--Race relations","Presbyterian Church--North Carolina","Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church (Chapel Hill, N.C.)","Civil rights workers--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","Presbyterians--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","Race relations--Religious aspects--Christianity","Civil rights movements--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","Racism--North Carolina--Chapel Hill"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Charles M.

After completing college at Auburn University, Ivey came to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to pursue a doctoral degree in sociology. While at UNC-CH, Ivey met and married his wife, Melville Corbett Ivey, another sociology graduate student. Ivey and his wife describe the sociology graduate program, focusing on Howard Odum and Rupert Vance as especially influential figures. Emphasizing his increasing interest in regionalism at that time, Ivey discusses the relationship between Odum and Frank Porter Graham and their respective approaches towards addressing political and social problems in the South. Ivey graduated with his doctoral degree in sociology in 1944 and went to work for the Tennessee Valley Authority. In 1948, Ivey briefly returned to academia, teaching at UNC-CH and then accepting a position at New York University. During that same year, Ivey was recruited by southern governors to head up the newly-formed Southern Regional Education Board. Ivey moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he served as director of the SREB from 1948 until 1956. He describes his own support of desegregation and acknowledges that he saw the SREB as an instrument for changing educational policies in the South. Ivey and his wife focus specifically in their discussion of their work with SREB on the role of southern governors, notably Millard Caldwell of Florida, and the competing visions of whether SREB should uphold or challenge segregation in southern public schools.","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":["North Carolina--Race relations","School integration--Southern States","Educators--Southern States","Southern Regional Education Board","College integration--Southern States","Education, Higher--Political aspects--Southern States"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with John Ivey, July 21, 1990"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Johnson asserts that the racial integration that should have occurred immediately after World War II was delayed as a result of apathy among white southerners, underlining the necessity of outside intervention. Though Louisville was more progressive than other southern cities, its leaders remained reluctant to endorse full equality. That reluctance made life difficult for black and white citizens alike.","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":["Tennessee--Race relations","African Americans--Civil rights--Kentucky","Louisville (Ky.)--Race relations","African Americans","Columbia (Tenn.)--Race relations","Racism--Tennessee--Columbia","Civil rights movements--Tennessee--Columbia","Racism--Kentucky--Louisville","Civil rights movements--Kentucky--Louisville","Teachers' unions--Southern States"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Lyman Johnson, July 12, 1990"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The City of Little Rock Model Cities program has two early childhood centers. The purpose of the citywide early childhood education program is to combine the efforts of these three entities, that may emerge in the future. along with other entitles to provide quality early childhood experiences to as many disadvantaged students in the city of Little Rock as possible. Research clearly indicates that effective early intervention is one of the best strategies to combat academic achievement disparity and the poor academic performance of minority students. In addressing the objectives of the citywide early childhood education program. the three entities cited in this report have attempted to avoid the duplication of services, every opportunity possible to share to the extent possible, resources. and use The following is a brief summary of each of the three programs\nHead Start Program A.

The parties For Instance, the Little Rock School District has a cable channel that can be used to announce activities to the public. Districtwide and school newsletters are sent to parents on a regular basis. Likewise, the Model Cities program has access to the cable channel that serves the black community. The parties should also be able to derive some benefit from the resources of the Chapter 1 parent Involvement program. Chapter 1 funds can be used for early childhood education if the strategies focus on early intervention activities for at-risk students. Staff Development - The parties will exchange calendars for staff development activities and. to the extent possible, the sponsor of the staff development activity will allow representatives from the other parties to participate. This process will begin in August 1990. Considerable colloboratlon should occur between the Little Rock School occur District and Head Start since both programs use the High/Scope curri- The staff development activities will be geared to the needs culum. of aides as well as teachers. 383 co m X X co 4^ m X X n cn m X X w \u0026lt;n m X X 00 m X X m 00 m X X 5 (0student Referrals - By October 1, 1993, it is expected that the num- ber of educationally disadvantaged students enrolled in early childhood education programs in the city of Little Rock will be SO percent of the eligible population. In oi'der to achieve this goal, it is extremely important that the parties use a student referral system. This system will allow parent tan a waiting list for one know about vacancies in another early childhood program. program to The parties v/ill meet on a quarterly basis to review vacancies and Identify referrals. This system will begin in August 1990. Student Assignment Process - The three parties recognize the need for disadvantaged parents to understand the assignment process for klnder- garten in the Little Rock School District. In the past, disadvantaged parents have not taken advantage of the kindergarten pre-reglstrat ion opportunities that are available In February and March. Traditionally, these parents wait until mid-August or after the opening of school to register their children. Parents who wait until August or Septem- ber to register have an obvious disadvantage if vacancies are limited. The Little Rock School District met with Head Start parents during the 1990 spring registration to review the kindergarten assignment pro- cess. In the future, the Little Rock School District will each spring with parents from both programs to review the kindergarten assignment process. In addition to neglecting kindergarten registration. that some disadvantaged parents it is apparent school opportunities in their neighborhoods. are not taking advantage of magnet The annual spring sessions on kindergarten registration also will be used to provide information on magnet school opportunities. Lon.g-term Monitoring - The real success of any early childhood program depends on the long-term effects of pre-school intervention efforts. It is Important that early childhood agencies have some means of following the progress of their clients during the early years of regular schooling. Beginning in the 1989-90 school year, a list will be compiled of all graduates from the three early childhood programs. These students will be identified in the Little Rock School District mainframe computer system according to their respective programs. At the end of each year for grades K-3, on the basis of standardized tests. these students will be monitored criterion-referenced tests.

These students will be compared to a control group in order to Isolate the effectiveness and/or deficiencies of the various early childhood programs. Facilities - The largest Head Start center is located In a building owned by the Little Rock School District. The Little Rock School District anticipates the abandonment of additional school buildings in 1991-1992. If this occurs.

The financial statements are the responsibility of the School District's management . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described more fully in Note 1 (F) of the financial statements, the School District does not record the valuation base of its property, buildings, and equipment at historical cost in the general fixed asset group of accounts as required by generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, except for the effect of the failure to record the general fixed asset account group at historical cost, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the combined financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas as of June 30, 1990, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 1 Members American lnslttute of Certified Public Accountants Private Companies Practice Section and S. E.C. Prac11ce Sectron I The Board of Directors The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas Page Two Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements taken as a whole. The information included at pages twentyseven through thirty-three is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial statements. The information has been subjected to the procedures applied in the audit of the basic combined financial statements of the Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole. As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the School District is party to several legal actions regarding expenses and other issues. The ultimate outcome of these legal actions cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any payables that may result has been made in the accompanying combined financial statements or schedules.

The following is a summary of the 111ore significant accounting policies. {A) Fund Accounting The accounts of the School District are organized on the basis of funds or groups of accounts, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts which comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. The following fund types and account groups are used by the School District: Governmental Fund Types: General Fund - The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the School District. All general tax revenues and other revenues that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to another fund are accounted for in this fund. The general operating expenditures, the fixed charges, and the capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from this fund. Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources, other than major capital projects, requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action. Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for the annual payments of principal, interest, and fees on long-term general obligation debt. Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Fiduciary Fund Type: Agency Fund - The Agency Fund is used to account for the school activity groups and other agencies. The assets in this fund are held by the School District in a fiduciary capacity. 12 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies {Continued) Account Groups: General Fixed Asset Account Group - This account group is established to account for the fixed assets of the School District. General Long-Term Debt Account Group - This account group is established to account for the long-term debt that is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the School District. (B) Basis of Accounting The modified accrual basis of accounting is utilized by all funds. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when the interest is due. Resources from special grants are generally recognized as revenues to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grants. Significant funds received before the revenue recognition criteria have been met are reported as deferred revenue. (C} Budgetary Accounting Certain revenues and expenditures are budgeted in accordance with various legal requirements which govern the School District's operations. The annual budget is submitted to the Arkansas State Department of Education for approval. Revisions by subsequent budget amendments, if any, are not submitted to the Department of Education. Budgeted revenues and expenditures, as revised and amended, were approved by the School Board at their March 20, 1990 meeting. No amendments were adopted subsequent to this date. The budgets formally approved by the Board of Directors include the General Fund {teacher salary, desegregation and other operating}, the Debt Service Fund, and certain construction and special revenue expenditures. The budgets of the School District utilized in its internal budgetary accounting systems and for financial reporting vary in some regards from those required by applicable state statutes to be formally approved by the Board of Directors. {D} Investments Investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Investments consist of certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. 13 II Ii THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements {Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies {Continued) (E) Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value). Inventories are recorded as expenditures when transferred to schools and departmental offices for utilization. (F) General Fixed Assets In the general fixed asset group of accounts, land is valued at historical cost. Certain other components are stated at costs estimated by independent appraisers and by School District employees at various appraisal dates. Valuations of land improvements and buildings are intended to approximate fair market values at the latest appraisal dates (1965 and 1971, respectively)\nfurniture and fixtures are stated at appraisal values determined for insurance purposes in 1975. Additions since the date of the last appraisals are recorded at cost. The amount that such valuations vary from historical cost has not been determined. (G) Property Taxes Property taxes are recognized and recorded as current period revenues in accordance with the provisions of Interpretation 3 of the National Council of Governmental Accounting's (NCGA) Statement 1, which states that: ( 1l property tax revenues should be recognized when they become available\nand (2) available means when due and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (generally not to exceed sixty days) to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. (H) Accumulated Vacation and Sick Leave School District employees do not receive vacation pay per se. Certain employees contracted to work 240 days per year receive additional pay however, if they work more than 240 days in any particular year. These employees are paid upon termination for any unpaid days accumulated in this manner. Due to the small number of employees contracted for 240 days per year who have accumulated unpaid days in this manner, the School District's liability for this type of compensated absence is not considered material and, therefore, has not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. 14 r I THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (H) Accumulated Vacation and Sick Leave (Continued) School District employees are granted a specific number of sick leave days with pay. Certain employees are also granted a specific number of personal leave days with pay. Employees may accumulate a maximum of 175 sick days. Employees are not paid for accumulated sick pay upon termination and, accordingly, the School District has not recorded a liability for accumulated sick pay in the accompanying financial statements since the payment is not probable and the amount of any ultimate payment is not determinable. (I) Encumbrances Encumbrances for goods or purchased services are documented by purchase orders or contracts. Encumbrances outstanding at year end are not reported as expenditures, for financial statement purposes, as the related goods have not been received or the services performed. (J) Total Columns on Combined Statements Total columns on the combined statements are captioned \"memorandum only\" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns does not present financial position, results of operations, or changes in fund equity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither is such data comparable to a consolidation. (K) Tax Exempt Status The School District is a tax exempt organization, since its revenues are nontaxable under Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code. Note 2: Reconciliation of Fund Equity The School District issued unaudited financial statements (the \"State Report\") on August 28, 1990 to the Arkansas State Department of Education. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting methods prescribed in Handbook II, as required by applicable state regulations. In that report, the \"Operating Fund\" is generally the equivalent of the General Fund for purposes of this report. The \"Federal Grants Fund\" corresponds to the Special Revenue Fund, except that it does not include activity in the \"Revolving Funds\" and the \"Food Service Fund.\" The \"Debt Service Fund\" and the \"Building Fund\" per the State Report correspond to the Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund, respectively. Activity within the Operating and Debt Service Funds is presented in a combined format for presentation in the State Report. Balances and transactions related to the Agency Fund are reflected in the State Report as the \"Student Activity Fund.\" 15 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 2: Reconciliation of Fund Equity (Continued) The following is a reconciliation of fund equity as shown on the State Report and in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1990: Fund equity at June 30, 1990 per General Special Revenue State Report $ 119,571 143,575 Prior years' equity adjustments and other (225,653) 232,939 Net Handbook II audit adjustments (132,409) Adjust property taxes receivable (2,501,935) Record Revolving Funds and Food Service Fund equity 2,437,403 Record deferred revenue Reclassify debt service fund equity Record KLRE-FM/ KUAR-FM fund equity Fund transfer Fund equity per financial statements Due to school activity groups and other agencies per financial statements $ (376,514) 3,282,040 (14,812) 14 I 812 526,802 2,452,215 16 Debt Service 4,054,080 (3,282,040) 772,040 Capital Projects Agency 3,529,742 $ 848,745 799,083 (184,062) 4,144,763 25,716 $ 874,461 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued} June 30, 1990 Note 3: Property Taxes Pulaski County, Arkansas (the County} levies a property tax each February on the assessed value listed as of January 1 of the prior year for all real and personal property located in the County. Assessed values are established by the County Assessor's office. All taxes are due from property holders on an installment basis by October 10 and related amounts collected on behalf of the Little Rock School District are receivable from the County as collected. Taxes to be levied upon January 1, 1989 assessment values are as follows: Real Estate Personal property Utilities Valuation (Millions} $ 1,066 339 68 $ 1,473 Millage General Debt Fund Service 28.50 25.20 34.70 7.40 13.50 9.90 During 1985, a reassessment was completed for all property located in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Based upon the results of this reassessment, the assessed value of all property within the sphere of taxation by the School District at January 1, 1985 was approximately $944.1 million, as compared to $545.5 million at January 1, 1984. In addition, there was an overall reduction of millage under Amendment 59. The School District will be liable for its pro rata share of the cost incurred by the State of Arkansas in relation to the reassessment. It is understood that reimbursement of this cost to the State, totaling approximately $513,000, will be made over a five year period beginning in fiscal year 1987 through semi-annual withholdings from the School District's revenues. Property tax revenues are reflected net of such withholdings. Property tax revenues of the Debt Service Fund totaling approximately $6,200,000 (the excess of funds necessary to meet current debt service requirements} have been transferred to the General Fund during the year ended June 30, 1990 as provided for under the statutes of the State of Arkansas. 17 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 4: Fixed Assets The following is a summary of the major components of fixed assets of the School District as of June 30, 1990: Land Land improvements Buildings Furniture and equipment Totals Note 5: Long-Term Debt Balance June 30, 1989 $ 2,861,085 925,255 100,370,981 21,303,158 $ 125,460,479 Additions $ 4,664,865 4,072,273 $ 8,737,138 Balance June 30, 1990 $ 2,861,085 925,255 105,035,846 25,375,431 $ 134,197,617 A summary of long-term debt transactions of the School District for the year ended June 30, 1990, is as follows: Balance at July 1, 1989 New debt issued: Construction school bonds - Capital Projects Fund Present value of capital lease obligations related to purchases of equipment and buses - General Fund Total new debt issued Debt retired: School Bonds Capital lease obligations Revolving loan Pulaski County, Arkansas Special School District (Note 8) Total debt retired Balance at June 30, 1990 $ 46,093,587 8,164,100 3,097,928 11.262,028 1,990,000 1,556,218 60,000 1,234,798 4,841,016 $ 52,514,599 Long-term debt at June 30, 1990 is comprised of the following: School bonds, construction and refunding issues Pulaski County Special School District (Note 8) Principal Balance $ 35,986,850 11,070,666 18 Interest Rates Maturities Semiannually\n3.25% - 7.7% through 2008 Semiannually\n4.2% - 10% through 2003 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Ndte 5: Long-Term Debt (Continued) Principal Interest Balance Rates Arkansas State Department of Education Revolving Loan $ 240,000 9% Capital lease obligations, secured by related buses and computer equipment 5,217,083 6.6% - 8.5% $ 52,514,599 Maturities Semiannually\nthrough 1994 Annually\nthrough 1994 The annual requirements to amortize all long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 1990 are as follows: Year Ending June 30 Amount 1991 $ 5,212,004 1992 5,091,529 1993 4,712,969 1994 3,876,525 1995 3,822,217 Thereafter 29,799,355 Total Debt $ 52,514,599 The total interest payable in the future on debt outstanding at June 30, 1990 is approximately $22 million. In September 1990, approximately $17 million of second lien bonds were issued to finance future capital expenditures. Note 6: Prior-Year Defeasance of Debt In prior years, the School District defeased certain 1984 and 1985 construction bonds by placing the proceeds of new bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the def eased bonds are not included in the School District's financial statements. At June 30, 1990, $3 million of bonds outstanding are considered defeased. 19 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 7: Retirement Plans All employees are required by law to be covered by the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System except the following: (1) bus drivers, cafeteria workers and janitors who are required by law to be covered by the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System and (2) part-time teachers, teacher aides and foreign exchange teachers who may elect in writing to exclude themselves from coverage. Both systems are multiple-employer, cost-sharing public employee retirement systems (the Systems). The payroll for employees covered by the Systems, for the year ended June 30, 1990, was approximately $63,000,000\nthe School District's total payroll was approximately $71,800,000. For the year ended June 30, 1990, employees had the option to contribute 6.0% of full salary. Federal funds of the School District were used to provide the 12% matching contribution for all eligible employees who are paid through Federal programs, while the state provided the matching contribution for employees paid with state and local funds. For the year ended June 30, 1990, the School District's share of contributions and matching was approximately $2,100,000. The amount of unfunded prior service cost of the retirement plan and the excess of the actuarially computed value of vested benefits over the total of the retirement fund are not available for the School District as a separate entity. However, as of June 30, 1989, the date of its latest actuarial report, the Arkansas Teacher Retirement system had total unfunded prior service costs of approximately $360 million. Note 8: Desegregation and Related Funding Issues During 1982, the School District brought litigation to consolidate the three school districts in Pulaski County, Arkansas. This was an interdistrict school desegregation case involving complex federal litigation in both trial and appellate courts. In relation to the remedy issues of this litigation, the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) and the Little Rock School District entered into agreements, which were approved by the Courts, for the transfers of certain schools, buildings and related personal property between the districts. The Little Rock School District assumed approximately $14. 6 million in long-term debt (see Note 5) related to the properties transferred to them. The transfer of property also resulted in approximately $300 million in property assessment values being transferred to the Little Rock School District affective upon the January 1, 1987 assessments. 20 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 8: Desegregation and Related Funding Issues (Continued) The litigation also resulted in the courts ordering the School District to initiate certain desegregation programs with the Arkansas Department of Education (the State) being liable for certain aspects of funding the programs. All major financial aspects of this litigation have been settled and accepted by the courts. Under the terms of the settlement agreements, the Arkansas Department of Education agreed to pay the School district a total of $71 million, net of $2 million in legal fees awarded the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. This amount included approximately $57,130,000 for compensatory education and other desegregation programs and $13,870,000 for cash equivalent payments in lieu of formula guarantees. In addition, the State agreed to loan the District an amount up to $20 million. During the year ended June 30, 1990, the School District recorded settlement proceeds of $12,559,250 in the General fund for compensatory education programs and other desegregation expenses. Included in this amount is a receivable of $4,609,250 due the School District on July 1, 1990 for reimbursement of desegregation expenditures made prior to year end. In addition, the School District received and recorded additional payments from the State of $2,000,000 as cash equivalent payments in lieu of Minimum Foundation Program Aid (11FPA) formula guarantees which are recorded as 11FPA revenue in the general fund.

A summary of transactions in these school activity and other funds during the year ended June 30, 1990, and the resulting change in amounts due to the school activity groups and other agencies, is as follows: Due to school activity groups and other agencies at June 30, 1989 Transactions during the year ended June 30, 1990: School activities and other agencies revenues Interest on investments School activities and other agencies expenditures Due to school activity groups and other agencies at June 30, 1990 Note 10: Cash and Investments $ 867,835 3,308,366 28,447 (3,330,187) $ 874,461 Arkansas statutes authorize school districts to deposit their funds in any bank located in the State of Arkansas. In addition, they may invest in bonds of the United States of America, general obligation bonds of the State of Arkansas, and bank certificates of deposit or repurchase agreements from a bank or savings and loan that has pledged direct obligations of, or obligations which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America. The carrying amount of the School District's deposits (including Agency Funds) with financial institutions was $1,022,431 and the bank balance was $2,080,069.

During the year ended June 30, 1988, six schools from the Little Rock School District were organized as a separate reporting group under the control of the MRC. The MRC received its authority from the Federal court as the result of desegregation litigation (see Note 8). The approved funding level of these schools ( \"the Magnets\") totals $3,100 per average daily membership (ADM) from the State of Arkansas, Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD), North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) and Little Rock School District (LRSD). The State pays $1,550 plus the \"table rate\" for each ADM from the respective school districts, with each school district paying the difference (\"contribution rate\") between $1,550 and their respective \"table rate\". Beginning in fiscal year 1990, the State paid its portion of the NLRSD and PCSSD contributions direct to the respective district's for subsequent remission to the LRSD. 23 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 11: Magnet School Funding (Continued) STATE LRSD NLRSD PCSSD Contribution rate $ 1,550 $ 1,550 $ 1,550 $ 1,550 Times Average ADM 3,756.61 2,400.02 422.79 933.80 Total 5,822,746 3,720,031 655,325 1,447,390 Additional contributions receivable 64,135 40 979 7 217 15,940 Total Magnet School Funding $5,886,881 $3,761,010 $662,542 $1,463,330 Total $11,645,492 128,271 $11,773 I 763 During the year ended June 30, 1990, expenses of the Magnet Fund exceeded total MRC contributions from the State and other districts. In order to maintain a balance between revenues and expense, additional contributions totaling $128,271 (as shown above) will be collected from the participants during the year ended June 30, 1991. Such amounts are recorded as due from other governments in the special revenue fund, except for the LRSD's portion, totaling $40,979, which was paid prior to year end. The Little Rock School District accounts for the Magnet School's operating revenues and expenses within its Special Revenue Funds since these funds are restricted to the operations of the Magnets. The School District's portion of the total costs ($3,761,010 as shown above) consist of $3,535,925 transferred from, and reflected as an expense of the General Fund, with the balance of $225,085 being indirect administrative cost contributions. In addition to the above discussed operating revenues, the School District is also reimbursed by the NLRSD and PCSSD for debt service payments for capital improvements to the Magnets. The total of such reimbursements (which are reflected in revenues of the Debt Service Fund) for the year ended June 30, 1990 are as follows: North Little Rock School District Pulaski County Special School District Total 24 $ 29,422 74,500 $ 103,922 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 1990 Note 12: Note Payable During the year ended June 30, 1990, the School District borrowed funds under various short term line-of-credit agreements to meet cash flow requirements. At June 30, 1990, the existing line-of-credit is due November 15, 1990, bearing interest at .5% over the Worthen bank prime rate, not to exceed 12% per annum. Collateral for the loan is all revenues of the School District. At June 30, 1990, the outstanding balance of $6,532,150 is reflected as a liability of the General Fund. Subsequent to June 30, 1990, the line-ofcredit agreement was increased to $15 million, and the due date extended to December 31, 1990. Total interest charges under the line-of-credit for the year 1990 were approximately $460,000. For financial statement charges are reflected in the General Fund as general expenditures. Note 13: Other Litigation and Contingencies ended June 30, purposes, such administration At June 30, 1990, the School District is a defendant in various legal actions. Several involve claims by former employees asserting discriminatory hiring practices. The School District intends to vigorously contest these cases. Management and legal counsel are of the opinion that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is small and, thus, no provision has been made in the financial statements for any potential liabilities. In addition, the School District's former attorneys have asserted a claim regarding services they performed on behalf of the District, although no litigation has been filed. Management and current legal counsel believe the prospect of the School District prevailing in this matter is substantial. Due to the uncertainties involved, no provision has been made for the related liabilities, however counsel has estimated the potential loss on the claim of up to $800,000 if an unfavorable judgment is rendered. During the year ended June 30, 1990, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) conducted an audit of the School District's method of reporting compensation to summer school teachers as contract labor. The IRS asserted that payments to these individuals were wages subject to payroll withholdings. An assessment of approximately $167,000 was paid by the School District subsequent to year end. The School may recover up to 100% of the assessment upon substantiation to the IRS that the payments to these individuals were properly reported as income. The School District intends to vigorously pursue such action. Expected unrecoverable amounts are not considered material to the financial statements, thus no accrual of a payroll tax liability based on the IRS determination has been recorded. 25 SUPPLEMENTARY SCHEDULES 26 Schedule 1 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Co111bining Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures - Special Revenue Funds Year Ended June 30, 1990 Total Federal Food Other Magnet (Me11orandum Progra11s Service Progra111s Schools Only) Revenues Meal sales $ $ 1,202,118 $ $ $ 1,202,118 State, local and other assistance 22,317 492,809 910,294 11,773,763 13,199,183 Federal financial assistance 4,206,986 3,194,146 7,401,132 Interest inco111e 46 648 46 648 Total revenues 4,229,303 4,935,721 910,294 11,773,763 21,849,081 Ex2enditures Basic programs 38,644 7,603,013 7,641,657 Exceptional child progra11s 345,264 192,722 537,986 Vocational-technical progra11s 266,219 80,672 478,434 825,325 Adult continuing education programs 33,454 679,823 713,277 Compensatory education programs 2,475,282 10,378 2,485,660 Other instructional programs 7,230 22,799 258,605 288,634 Instructional support services 716,348 4,483 825,232 1,546,063 Operation and 11aintenance of plant 1,442 942,680 944,122 General administration 68,363 24,805 1,020,192 1,113,360 Capital outlay 20,069 68,970 75,277 164,316 Food services 4,938,025 4,938,025 Co111munity services 224,830 224,830 Indirect and other 70,802 225,085 295 887 Total expenditures 4,229,303 5,006,995 861,604 11,621,240 21,719,142 Excess of revenues over (under) expenditures (71,274) 48,690 152,523 129,939 Other Financing Uses Operating transfers out for Magnet School equip11ent lease payRtents (152 I 523) (152,523) Excess of revenues over (under) expend-itures and other financing uses $ $ (71,274) $ 48,690 $ 22,584 27 THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS Rockefeller Day Care Center Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures (Cash Basis) - Budget and Actual Year ended June 30, 1990 Revenues Federal funds Tuition Non-Federal matching contribution DCFS State contract LRSD (Development program and line item reimbursement) Total revenues Expenditures Salaries and fringe Program supplies General Non-Federal matching expenditures Total eXl)enditures Excess of revenues over (under) expenditures Units Eligible Non-eligible Total Note: Budget 10-1-88 to 10-1-89 to $ $ 9-30-89 9-30-90 133,770 38,180 3,775 3,600 167,239 346,564 322,713 17,806 2,500 3 775 346,794 (230) 19,436 3,491 22,927 $ $ 133,770 41,780 3,525 167,239 346,314 322,763 17,806 2,450 3,525 346,544 (230) 14,376 3,179 17,555 Schedule 2 $ $ Actual 6-30-90 70,759 22,317 39,494 132,570 84,518 1,005 39,494 125,017 7,553 9,696 1. 723 11,419 The budget amounts as reflected above are by grant periods.

BASED ON A STUDY AND EVALUATION MADE AS A PART OF AN AUDIT OF THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS AND THE ADDITIONAL TESTS REQUIRED BY THE SINGLE AUDIT ACT The Board of Directors The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas We have audited the combined financial statements of The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas (the School District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 1990, and have issued our report thereon dated November 16, 1990. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments. Those standards and 0MB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement . In planning and performing our audit of the combined financial statements of the School District for the year ended June 30, 1990, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our op1n1on on the combined financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure. During the year ended June 30, 1990, the School District expended 88% of its total federal financial assistance under major federal financial assistance programs. As required by 0MB Circular A-128, our consideration of the internal control structure also included: 1) Tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements, and requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts claimed or used for matching that are applicable to each of the School District's major federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the accompanying schedule of federal financial assistance. Our procedures were less in scope that would be necessary t o render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 35 Members Amencan lm\nt11u1e of Ceruf1eo Public Accoun1an1s P~rvate Companies Practice Sec11on and S E.C Practice Seel/on The Board of Directors The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas Page Two 2) Obtaining an understanding of (a) the design of internal control structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements, and requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts claimed or used for matching that are applicable to the School District's non-major federal financial assistance programs and (bl whether they have been placed in operation. The management of The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of combined financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that federal financial assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities, or instances of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected . Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate. For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and procedures in the following categories: 1. Accounting Controls Cash Revenues/receivables Cash receipts Expenditures/payables Cash disbursements - Fund balances - Payrolls - Fixed assets - Investments - Property taxes receivable 2. Controls Used in Administering Federal Programs General Requirements: Political Activity Davis-Bacon Act Civil Rights Cash Management Federal Financial Reports 36 Specific Requirements: Types of Services Eligibility Matching Level of Effort Reporting Cost Allocation Special Requirements The Board of Directors The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas Page Three For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk. We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the general-purpose financial statements or to administer federal financial assistance programs in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Fixed Assets At present, the School District does not have a complete inventory or detail subsidiary ledger of all fixed assets which can be agreed or reconciled to total general fixed assets as reported in the combined financial statements. The School District's fixed asset tracking system should be expanded to include all of its assets and to provide for a complete annual physical inventory count of capital assets . The inventory should be used to determine that all assets purchased are still in possession of the School District and that assets are being utilized in an effective and efficient manner. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the general-purpose financial statements being audited or that noncompliance with laws and regulations that would be material to a federal financial assistance program may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. However, we believe the reportable condition described above is not a material weakness. 37 The Board of Directors The Little Rock School District of Pulaski County, Arkansas Page Four This report is intended for the information of the Board of Directors, management, all applicable Federal and State agencies.

He explains that smaller North Carolina colleges and universities and traditionally underrepresented groups found a voice in post-secondary school decisions during this period. During this period, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) established a set of criteria for the desegregation of higher education institutions. While he felt the North Carolina college system had not complied with the court order to eliminate the inequalities of segregated schools, other board officials believed UNC had done enough and wanted the federal government to disengage itself from North Carolina affairs. Although university president William Friday also argued that the state's higher education system complied with the desegregation orders, Chambers favorably assesses Friday's leadership as UNC president and Board of Governors member. He contends that Friday built a consensus among board members on a middle-of-the-road political position. Nonetheless, because North Carolina delayed making meaningful changes in the desegregation of its post-secondary schools, HEW filed a desegregation lawsuit against UNC. The later reluctance of the Nixon and Ford administrations to support school desegregation and the endorsement of the Carter administration furthered the Office for Civil Rights' resolve to enforce the desegregation of North Carolina post-secondary schools. Chambers blames the retreat from desegregation initiatives on a conservative resurgence and on North Carolina's desire to end the ongoing debate on race in higher education.","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 college administrators--North Carolina","College trustees--North Carolina","College integration--North Carolina","University of North Carolina (System)--Trials, litigation, etc.","Affirmative action programs in education--North Carolina","Higher education and state--North Carolina"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Julius L.
