If the Incentive Schools do not succeed, the LRSD Desegregation Plan will fail causing this district to continue spend large amounts of time and resources in court. t 0 The possibility also exists that the State will have to be repaid millions of dollars in desegregation money.

I was handed a copy and asked to send it Before I discuss the inaccuracies of the report, and the damage that has been caused by those inaccuracies, I would like to elaborate further on the procedure that was used. A. As you know, the enclosed report was not discussed at the March 3 meeting (seo minutes). B. At the March 3 meeting, I reported that we were in compliance with some of the same items listed in the March 26 report. My report was in response to concerns noted by the Joshua Intervenors.

C. I am unaware of an official mooting of the entire Biracial Committee hold after March 3, or even prior to March 3, to Furthermore, review and approve the March 26 report. I have not received a copy of the minutes of such a mooting. I do not know the results of a formal vote taken, prior to submission, to approve the March 26 report, if you had a quorum. I do not know My main concern is not related to whether or not I am My main concern is the need aware of all of your meetings. for the Committee to follow a process for collecting data, verifying data, and reporting your concerns to the Board and the public. This process should include a step where you verify your findings with the administration prior to the submission of your report to the Board and the public.

Again, this represented a departure from past This incident raises serious questions about the purpose of monitoring the incentive schools. If the full committee met and approved the March 26 report, then there was obviously a conscious attempt to delay the correction of the alleged problems until after the report had been submitted to the Board and the Court. Is there any record, including thepage throe quarterly monitoring reports, that the alleged violations were ever submitted to the administration for immediate action? action? Shouldn't effective monitoring employ immediate I would think that you would be anxious to let me know about such \"flagrant\" violations of the desegregation plan.

Hart, Desegregation Facilitator SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO BIRACIAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE Submitted for your review is a response to the District Biracial Advisory Committee Report. See attachments to the report. 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501)374-3361 RESPONSES TO BIRACIAL COMMITTEE REPORT We are appreciative of the efforts of the biracial committee and its important charge of monitoring the Incentive School Section of the Settlement Plan. In order to ensure that accurate and adequate information is supplied to help facilitate written reports to the superintendent, board and court, there is an urgent need to keep you informed through both oral and written desegregation updates during your scheduled, monthly meetings, a continuing basis. on Since this is the first year that the settlement plan has been approved by the court, good faith efforts have been made in terms of providing an understanding and a thorough awareness of the plan components to principals, teachers and parents. Attached for your review is a checklist that was provided to all the principals in the Incentive Schools in September to use as a means to review requirements that need to be implemented in the Settlement Plan. During monthly desegregation meetings and in written correspondence, settlement plan requirements are derived to ensure that we are complying in a timely manner with program implementation. Principals inform patrons about the program offerings and activities in the Incentive Schools through PTA meetings and newsletters. Some program materials and equipment are ordered on either the district or building level. development. The same is true for staff level. Rarely are manipulatives ordered on the district The responsibility for selection of supplies, types and number of field trips is left to the discretion and prudent budget management of the principal in charge of the school. The Volunteers in Public Schools Office assists in scheduling field trips to Toltec Mounds, Museum of National History, Ballet Arkansas, etc. taken by schools. Office. Attached is a list of some of the field trips This information is on file in the VIPs Responses to specific items cited will follow the same format used in the Biracial Committee Report. 1. STAFFING A. More Male Teachers. . We are in agreement, and national problem. This concern is both a state According to national reports. male teachers are even scarcer in Elementary than in Secondary Schools. The real problem lies in the fact that fewer men enter Elementary Education in college. The problem is even more prevelant in primary grades. Male teachers are sought after and valued as role models for African-American male students. The teacher recruiter for the LRSD and the building principals are aware of this need and work toward that end.Page 2 B. Better Racial Balance of Support staff. . Principals and the Department of Human Resources are cognizant of this need and do maintain fair hiring practices\nhowever, the number of black applicants is much greater in the pool of interested persons. This results in a larger percentage of one race hired over another. White applicants are considered by the principal for custodians and aides when these positions become available. C. One Instructional Aide Per Classroom. . This matter is under the consideration of the court. No ruling has been made at this time. D. Supervising Aides for Playground/Cafeteria. . The court does not require the District to hire supervision aides (See Court Order). The pending Court ruling regarding instructional aides (1 per classroom), may eventually require the hiring of supervision aides. All schools have aides supervising students on the playground. training for aides was provided on Monday, Cluster February 10 and on Monday, February 17, 1992. E. Full Time Social Worker. . Social workers will be recruited. Teachers and counselors work with students on a daily basis and do home visits as needed. (Social workers are not required according to State standards for any school in Arkansas.) F. Full Time Counselor. . The District is in compliance. The Arkansas Department of Education requires that every school have a full time counselor. The Incentive Schools exceed both NCA and State standards. G. Full Time Nurse. . The District is in compliance. Gwen Efird, the Director of Nurses, was instructed to hire a full time nurse to meet the special needs of children in each Incentive School.Page 3 H. Assistant Principal. . The plan does require this position to be filled in all schools, this issue. However, the court has not ruled on (NCA requires a full time principal plus a half-time assistant principal or the equivalency for 600 to 800 or more students). Due to the small enrollment in most of our Incentive Schools, only Franklin and Rockefeller have assistant principals. 2. CURRICULUM A. Teachers are concerned about the many pull-out programs which interfere with classroom instruction. . The District is not out of compliance. The plan specifies that...\"Federally or state mandated programs (remedial, special education, gifted and talented) will be available through the instructional day, with reinforcement activities available through the extended day, week, or year programs.\" The State and NCA standards require that music and P.E. are taught to every child. Since Extended Day attendance is optional and certain skills are specified in the plan to be taught on given days, some students would miss out on these requirements. Other alternatives that will restrict pull-outs can be explored to better meet the needs of children. B. Multicultural Curriculum 2. Infusion into instruction seems to be limited. . If followed according to the guidelines set forth by the Social Studies Department, multicultural education should be infused into the various subject areas at each school. 3. Teachers often ask for more training on how to implement the multicultural curriculum. . District and/or building training in this area is on-going. Principals can request training at the building level from the Social Studies Department.Page 4 The program director, Marie McNeal, is available to assist staffs if either she or the principal identifies the need for immediate training for particular teachers or the entire building. Teachers are requested to help identify the staff development needs in every building. District and building level training is based on this information. Brady Scott, Coordinator of the Equity Assistance Center in San Antonio, Texas, has provided additional technical assistance and training for staff and regarding at-risk students in a multicultural setting. 4. The public should be more informed about multicultural curriculum to allay misgivings and misunderstandings. . The suggestion is an excellent one that is already being explored. Area community Meetings in churches, on cable TV, and other options are planned. It appears that there is a need to continually inform and update the community about what is being taught in the schools. C. More Hands on equipment is Needed. . Principals determine with staff input their building equipment needs, as inadequate at this time. None have been reported Each building has an individual school budget with a line item for ordering equipment. D. Field Trips. . The District is in compliance. As specified in the settlement plan, field trips enhance learning, broaden cultural activities, provide experiences and assist in the development of coping skills. Each staff determines what. where and when they will take field trips. According to the field trip data, many trips have been taken this year, locally and some out of the state. These were determined by the needs and interest at the building level by the principal and staff.Page 5 Very little evidence of peer tutoring. . Most peer tutoring goes on in Extended Day. During the day, the remedial, regular and enriched needs of each child are being met. Therefore, peer tutoring is done on a limited basis and varies from classroom to classroom. F. Only one school has a science lab. equipment, some at other schools. Very little science . The same amount of science lab equipment was ordered for each school in grades 3-6 by Dennis Glasgow, the Science Director. Due to the lack of space, science labs are placed in the science teachers classrooms. departmentalized in grades 3-6. Each school is semiPrincipals order aquariums, magnets, animals, and other equipment to supplement the labs and/or the science curriculum on other grade levels. Inservice training on how to use the science equipment and materials to be ordered was conducted on November 11, 1991 for 4-6 grade teachers and principals by Dennis Glasgow. E. G. No Evidence of Foreign Language Programs. 3. . Spanish is taught during Extended Day through the use of AETN. Programs in extended day are built around students that participate and selection of subjects. trained\nTeachers and principals have been tapes and curriculum guides were ordered for all the schools in the fall. Teacher Recruitment Coordinator, Robert Robinson, has advertised for Spanish teachers to be hired in the programs. As part of the curriculum realignment, Spanish will be taught by trained Spanish teachers. EXTENDED DAY A. Needs more special skills offered. . A survey listing the broad skill offerings was generated by staff and the principal at each school. Students selected choices of programs and/or activities from the surveys in September. The student choices primarily formed the basis for the program offerings in the Extended Day. Classes were offered for the number of children who chose to attend. The principal and staff have the flexibility to decide program revisions, additions, or deletions at the end of each reporting period, semester or when necessary.Page 6 B. Bring in community people and programs, i.e., dance, karate, drama, etc. 4 . C. . Community people are sought after by VIPS, Coordinator of Incentive School Services, and the Desegregation office. Personnel from UALR has been employed by the District to assist the Incentive School dance teachers with a dance program. personnel from UALR have assisted teachers with gymnastics. Experienced, certified band and Also, string teachers from other schools in the District teach interested students band and string lessons approximately two and a half hours every Saturday. Earnest Lamb, string teacher, is a member of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Carwin Pleasant, band teacher, is a band/orchestra teacher at Sooker Magnet and a professional musician who teaches band to our students. Staff persons from the Art Center, and other volunteers are contacted by designated persons in each school or by request through VIPs to assist with various activities. A recent article featuring Curtis Tate working with our students at Mitchell appeared in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. We will continue to bring community people into the schools as we strive to work around their jobs and scheduled activities. Programs are now based on talents of teachers in the schools but should be based on the variety of activities available in the community. . Teachers select their areas of interest, but volunteers are placed according to their profession. We have found that some teachers are skilled in several areas and offer successful opportunities for our students. Again, VIPS Office assists greatly with resource personnel for the various extended day options. A list of resource persons invited to the schools is available in the VIPs Office. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: We are concerned that student achieve- ment is not improving and cite these factors as possibly contributing to the lack of improvement. A. G. (This section is not being answered on an itemized basis as most of them have been addressed in other areas of this response)Page 7 . The school board, administrators, teachers, and parents have the primary responsibility and concern for seeing that our students receive an adequate education that will prepare them to meet the challenge of the future. Our principals and teachers are in the schools on a daily basis, are many factors that could prohibit a child groups of children from improving academically. There or It is not clear if any or all of the problems enumerated by some members on the biracial committee have had adverse effect on students to the extent that they an 5 . are not improving in Incentive Schools\nnor is there any data to indicate that our students are not improving . What achievement data or test information is being used to make this comparative analysis? Especially since no achievement test scores or MPT scores are available for comparison. Principals in each school are charged with the responsibility to monitor students progress on a regular basis. The Assistant Superintendent in charge of the schools monitor the academic progress of each school to determine the progress each child is making. STAFF DEVELOPMENT A. Bring in outside experts. . Staff development is an on-going process. Consul- tants from out-of-state have been brought in to assist in training teachers and principals. We are fortunate to have an outstanding Staff Development Department with personnel who have attended out-of-state meetings and are experts in many areas. They have recently conducted the Effective Schools Program in the Incentive Schools. C. New teachers in the Incentive Schools need additional assistance and support. . Paula Grier, from the Staff Development Department, has been hired to do training full time with teachers who need help in the Incentive Schools.Page 8 6 . PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT According to the Incentive School Plan (p. 263) \"The specific details and concerns for each individual Incentive School must be developed by the local practitioners. The local practicitioners are the principals, teachers, parents and community representatives in each Incentive School area. The District firmly believes that the success of any program depends on the opportunity for the practitioners to make certain decisions at the local level.\" 7. . The District has hired a Coordinator of Incentive Schools Services who is responsible for assisting principals to involve parents and the community in the schools. Parent workshops, lunches, and breakfast meetings in churches, schools and businesses that feature outstanding community people as speakers, are some of the ways that we have attempted to get parents involved in the schools. Some parents have not chosen to take advantage of these opportunities due to personal or economic reasons. Programs that feature children have proven to be the most successful in getting parents out. Parent Meetings is attached for your perusal. A copy of the DISCIPLINE A. Need alternative classroom with certified instructor in each school. . Time-Out and Social Skills training has been provided for principals, teachers and aides as an alternative to putting students out of class and out of the school setting. the training is attached.) (A copy of the materials used in Inadequate space prohibits an alternative room in 3 of our school buildings. An alternative space is provided when an emergency arises that requires a student to be given time out. Emphasis is placed on accentuating and rewarding positive behavior, identifying problems before they get out of hand scheduling parent conferences and sessions with the counselor, principal or nurse--rather than putting students out of the regular classroom. Rooms in some buildings are now staffed by designated personnel who work closely with the principal for part of the day. The alternative room is a last step measure that is used to keep a student in school. Many children need to be taught the necessary social skills to make them succeed in the classroom and on the playground.Page 9 B. Need strong mentoring programs such as retired teachers program. . A well developed mentoring program is in operation in our schools that was developed by Debbie Milan, Director of the Volunteers in Public School office. Retired teachers have been contacted to work in the schools with our many children who need a mentor. Recruitment and advertising in businesses, churches, educational facilities, and at Park Plaza Mall has resulted in much community involvement in our schools. Approximately 2,000 flyers were mailed to the community about the Mentoring Program. Over 150 personal letters were mailed to friends of the Little Rock School District personnel. A total of 500 Recruitment Cards were printed and issued at a basketball game and other functions. On April 7, Debbie Milam will speak at the Little Rock Rotary Club about the Mentor's Program, of the Mentoring Program. Attached is a copy We hope to continue adding to the list of mentors each year. Retired teachers and any interested persons are encouraged and needed to assist in this effort. C. Need smaller classes to allow more individualized attention. 8. . The court will make a ruling regarding the number of students that each Incentive School class can maintain. In comparison to the other area and magnet schools that African-American students attend, the enrollment is smaller for the Incentive Schools. ' average range of class size is 18 The 23 . Most schools have only a few classes with 25 students\nsome have none. BUILDINGS AND CAMPUSES A. Incentive Schools should have extensive renovation or be replaced with new buildings, with exception of Rockefeller. . Extensive renovation began at the Enhancement (Incentive Schools) in August of the 1988 school year and is continuing in 1991-92 with a total cost by schools, following on next page of this report:Page lo Franklin Garland Ish Mitchell Rightsell Rockefeller Stephens Total Cost $1,220,680 367,096 95,086 212,478 191,253 137,409 61,502 $2,285,504 C. (See Enhancement School Project Summary.) The following additions/changes have been completed or are scheduled to be completed during the 1991-92 school year for the following schools: Garland Ish Stephens New outside lighting New Roof (summer of 1992) New carpet in building and office Work orders should be turned in to the Maintenance Department by the principal when- ever a problem exists. If problems are not addressed in a timely manner, the Assistant Superintendent in charge of that school should be notified. Playgrounds should be improved and well-equipped. Some of the present playgrounds are unsafe. (Mitchell, Franklin, Ish, and Stephens). . We agree that playground equipment should be maintained. The Plant Services Department has been requested to visit each of the 4 schools named in your report and determine, in consultation with principals, what problems exist. Office of Desegregation will do follow- up visits to those schools and report the findings.OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING 201 EAST MARKHAM, SUITE 510 HERITAGE WEST BUILDING LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 TO: FROM: DATE: RE: James Jennings Horace Smith and Connie Hickman April 20, 1992 Request for Districtwide Biracial Committee information In order to better understand the functioning and effectively monitor the performance of the Districtwide Biracial Committee, we will require the following information.

Therefore, in many areas, we have set about working with the committee on exactly e kinds of improvements that are recommended in the report At the same time, there are several areas where we have yet to make the kind of effort that is required by the plan but we're committed to seeing that this does occur,\" Bernd added. -more-20^ L R School Dlst ODM 002/003 Page 2 L^D News Release Biracial Committee For example, Bernd said, in the area of the composition of our committee, the Biracial Committee has begun to develop a mattix to identify exactly what characteristics of membership, either by race, gender or geographical location of residence, are presently represented, A recruitment plan to fill the open positions based on what is detailed in the matrix win follow.

Those nominees and others are expected to be presented to the LRSD Board of Directors at its December meeting for confirmation. While members of the Biracial Committee this year received special training to prepare them more fuUy for the monitoring process from the District's Plannings Research and Evaluation Section, Bernd acknowledged that more can and will be done in the area of training and orientation for committee members. Committee members have participated in two Saturday retreats and established goals and objectives for the year, including a calendar of events scheduling the things the Biracial Committee and its several subcommittees will undertake. Each subcommittee has established its own goals. Several subcommittees have already reported their progress to the entire committee.

As you know, ODM published the 1991-92 Monitoring Report on the Biracial Committees on November 16,1992. In that report ODM monitors concluded that although the monitoring instruments used by all three districts addressed general areas of the desegregation plan, they did not relate to specific plan provisions. As a result, these instruments made it difficult for the districts to effectively monitor the implementation of their desegregation plans. The monitors recommended that the districts \"Design monitoring instruments that correlate specifically with the desegregation plan provisions so each district can measure its progress in plan implementation\" (ODM Biracial Committee Report, page 28). I have also had many discussions regarding the biracial committees monitoring instrument with LRSD administrators and members of the Biracial Committee. During those discussions, I continued to urge the district to develop a monitoring guide that reflected specific plan provisions. A plan-specific guide would assist the Biracial Committee in monitoring the districts plan implementation progress, evaluating areas that are working, and identifying plan provisions that may need to be changed. Monitors have offered the ODM Incentive School Monitoring Guide simply as an example, showing how a guide could be developed that reflects the districts obligations. I have had several calls about using ODMs Incentive School Monitoring Guide and seeking what appeared to be legal advice. I have repeatedly stated that legal advice needed to be sought from the districts counsel and I have referred to the language in LRSDs plan and described the process outlined for modification, if the district should choose such action. It is good to hear that the biracial committee is linking their monitoring instrument to the plan. As stated before, ODMs Incentive School Monitoring Guide is one example of how to link a monitoring instrument to plan and court directives. The recent plan audit is another way to identify the districts legal obligations. Enclosed are the relevant plan provisions that I have discussed with you, Steve Meeker, and Sterling Ingram. I encourage you to consider the plans language as you make your decisions with the biracial committee, LRSD personnel, and the districts attorneys. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 376-6200.

Each method will be based on a design which will be approved by the superintendent of schools and presented prior to the opening of school to the LRSD Board of Directors, central office administrators, and e certified school-based staff members. One monitoring and evaluation design will be based on the educational equity concept and will be used in all schools in the District. The second will provide monitoring and evaluation geared toward the programs in the incentive schools. There shall be a district-wide Biracial Committee which shall be responsible for the annual monitoring of desegregation implementation. A. Educational Equity Monitoring and Evaluation The Little Rock School District will monitor for educational equity in all schools in the District. The monitoring will be conducted by the Planning, Research, and Evaluation (PRE) staff with assistance from local biracial committees consisting of parents. Each committee will conduct at least one school visit each semester using a monitoring instrument developed during the spring and summer of 1990 by the three school districts in Pulaski County, the Arkansas Department of Education, and the Desegregation Assistance Center in San Antonio, Texas. The incentive schools will be monitored at least once each quarter by members of the districtwide biracial committee. The committees will report semi-annually to the superintendent the progress or lack of progress in the following areas: Separation of Races in School Programs Extracurricular Activities Achievement Disparity Handicapped Education Gifted and Talented Education Staff Development Curriculum (Multicultural) School/ District Initiated Awards/ Honors Committees (appointed) Parental Involvement Student Discipline Building Leadership Management Human Relations Page 224B, Incentive School Monitoring and Evaluation The Equity in Educational Opportunity (EEO) evaluation design was used from 1982- 1990 in the LRSD for evaluating the programs in schools which fall outside desegregation requirements and randomly selected control schools. Program monitoring and program assessment are the major components of the evaluation design. The Educational Equity Monitoring instrument was used during the 1990-91 school year. A committee including the principals of the incentive schools, the superintendents senior management team, planning and evaluation specialists from the Planning, Research and Evaluation Office, and six members from the Biracial Advisory Committee (including two nominated by Joshua) will meet on or before July 1 of each year to revise the evaluation educational equity monitoring design to conform with the expectations of the incentive school program. Any revision wiU be submitted to the Board of Directors and the Joshua Intervenors by August 15. If the parties disagree about whether a proposed revision promotes the overall objectives of the desegregation plan, that question may be presented to the court for resolution. The incentive schools will be monitored at least once each quarter by one of the monitoring teams which use members from the districtwide Biracial Committee. The districtwide Biracial Committee will consist of persons from various geographic areas of the community. Reports will be prepared after each monitoring visit and distributed to the superintendent, deputy superintendent, associate/ assistant superintendents, and the principals of the schools which were monitored. Quarterly reports summarizing all the monitoring visits WiU be prepared by personnel from the Planning, Research and Evaluation Office and presented through the superintendent to the Board of Directors of the LRSD during a regular meeting of the Board. The associate superintendent for desegregation will be responsible for insuring that deficiencies listed in the monitoring reports are eliminated in a timely manner C Consultant/ Monitor A consultant/monitor who has experience in the desegregation of schools will be provided to make evaluations and recommendations to the Court, superintendent, associate superintendent for desegregation, and others for improving the quality of desegregated education in LRSD schools. Copies of each monitoring visit report and any other information requested regarding the LRSD, PCSSD, and the North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) will be provided to the consultant/monitor. The consultant/ monitors evaluations and recommendations will be based on visits to the schools in the LRSD, PCSSD and the NLRSD Page 225LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION 501 SHERMAN ST.

Since poor meeting attendance plagued the committee last year, limited monitoring was done. Arma Hart coordinated this committee last year and expressed concern about their frustration. I This year we have approximately 25 new numbers. We expect more involvement and follow through. On September 5, 1994, we will have our first meeting of the 1994-95 school year, be held at that time for all members.

Ihe results of these monitoring trips were tinned into Ms. Arma Hart, the LRSD Desegregation Fa-cilitator and liaison to the Committee. The momtoring vi.sits were conducted during the fall of 1993 tlu'ough the spring of 1994. Througljout the year the Committee discussed and evaluated data from various sources, in efuding its own monitoring experiences, reports from the Office of Desegregation, media coverage, and other personal information regarding the Incentive Schools and the District. Tt iaimmarized these conclusions in its January 1994 meeting minutes, which axe attached. To facilitate a more meaningful role for the Biracial Advisory Committee, the Committee repeatedly reqiiesled that the LRSD revamp ihe monitoring approach imphed by the Desegregation Plan (see the attached memo, \"Requested Changes for Biracial Advisory Committee, dated May 2, 1994). These attempts produced no results to date but, in my opinion, still deserve action. I beheve the LRSD administration is fundamental^' reorienting the Incentiv'e School mission as evidenced by the closing of two Incentive Schools in two years as well as the reassigning of several Incentive School principals. I hope that the Biracial Advisoiy Committee will be granted real opportunities lo contribute citizen opinion, commentary and volunteer efforts to these new strategies, not only regarding Incentive Schools but also the broader issues of racial desegregation, student discipline, and acaderiiic performance disparities along racial line.s.

At least 27 persons have been named as prospective members since January 1994. As long ago as November 1993, discussions have been conducted recommending that the Committee be allowed to admit new members prior to its usual admission time frame as specified by Conjj.oiitce bylaws [Committee meeting minutes.

At this time, no motion has been placed before the LRSD Board because of the determinatinn bv Administration officials that the proposed members represent jjn madcouatc racial balance. The Committee is currently down to nine (9) active members, with npennurs for nineteen (19) new members [\"Membership for the LRSD Bi-Racial Aebisory Committee, April 5, 1994\\. Z, Evaluation of the current monitoring instrument A continual, major issue since September 1993 has been the hi.stitution of an im\nproved, more focused monitoring in-stnimcnt as suggested by the Office of Desegregation Monitoring [Committee minutes, September 7, 1993, paragraph 5). U-gal counsel was consulted, culminating in attorney Chris Heller of Friday, Eldredge \u0026amp; Clark appearing before the Committee [Committee minutes, December 7, 1993, 810 West Markhuni Street  Little Rock.

The CnTTimittee requests help in streamlining the monitoring process while also r^ during the redundancy of the inspection process of incentive schools. This may eventually result in the combining of several groups' monitoring efforts. 3, Recognition of the Committee's role beyond monitoring The Committee, composed of volunteer citizens, deserves to be heard on general issti.es. Tt should be, 1 believe, something more than a superfluous, bureaucratic inspection agency. I think the Committee should report to the LRSD Board without having tlie constrictions of a multi-tiered fonnalized rqjorting structure.

Site visits will be conducted by the Planning, Research and Evaluation (PRE) staff with the assistance of local biracial committees consisting of parents/patrons. Attached is a list by school with the PRE Specialists narhe who drew the school for monitoring. If you have not already been contacted by the PRE Specialist for a monitoring date, you will soon be receiving a phone call for a discussion about a convenient date for program monitoring. All parent/patron committee members will be expected: 1. 2. To complete inservice education related to program monitoring techniques and the desegregation plan. This inservice will be conducted by the PRE Staff prior to the first school monitoring visit. We expect to complete the inservice for the parents by October 5. The monitoring process will essentially be the same as that of the last two school years. Parents/patrons who have previously received training regarding the monitoring process will not be required to attend another inservice. However, they are welcome to attend, if they wish. Principals may wish to select some of the same parents/patrons who have previously served as monitors, since they would already be familiar with the process. To complete one monitoring visit each semester. Parents/patrons should be advised that monitoring is a major function for the current school year and that the monitoring process could take a full school day to complete. During the monitoring visits, checklists will be used to record and gather data regarding the conditions and events at the school. Monitors will record and report findings only. Mediation of conditions and events are inappropriate during the site visit. The committee should be composed of six persons, comprised of two teachers and four parents/patrons, balanced by race (two black and two white parents). Like last school year the teachers on your committee will not monitor the programs for equity. However, if you add others to the committee, you may do so without a ratio being required. When you call the committee together to review the monitoring summary report 2 and to give suggestions for program improvement, this is the time to involve the teachers and others on the committee. Efforts should be made to extend the selection process beyond a traditional parent structure to ensure broad representation. Please refrain from using parents/patrons who are Little Rock School District employees as progra monitors. m Please forward the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the four parents/patrons who will serve on your local school biracial committee to the PRE Department NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 20, 1995. Inservice for biracial committee monitoring will be held at the Administration Building at 810 West Markham. Principals are requested to notify biracial committee parents of the inservice as soon as possible. Inservices are scheduled as follows: Elementary Area and Magnet Schools: October 3, 1995 Meet in the LRSD Board Room, 810 W. Markham, 6:30 pm Secondary and Incentive Schools: October 5, 1995 Meet in the LRSD Board Room, 810 W. Markham, 6:30 pm Site visits for the first semester are tentatively scheduled to be conducted between October 23 and December 15, 1995. Principals will be contacted to establish monitoring dates. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Paul J. Smith in the PRE office at 324-2120. Your prompt attention and cooperation in this effort is greatly appreciated. cc: Dr. Henry P.

She also noted dramatic increases in enrollment in the most challenging high school math and science courses. Enrollment in calculus increased by 41 percent this year over last year, for example, and all ninth-graders are required to take physics. Cleaver attributed the changes to courses and staff training made possible by a $3.2 million, five- year grant from the National Science Foundation. Some parents have complained about parts of the program because of a lack of textbooks and a lack of emphasis on math drills. Cleaver said adjustments are being made to improve computational and measurement skills and to build more parental support.March 2 5,2002 U\nSchool Board adds days for weather ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE The School Board for the Pulaski County Special School District has revised the current school year calendar to make up for classes postponed because of inclement weather.

The Little Rock student school year, as currently structured, is shorter than what is required by the Arkansas standards for school accreditation, which calls for 178 days. District leaders have routinely acquired waivers from the state to use what would have been student days for staff training, saying the opportunity to provide students with better trained teachers justified shortening the number of student days. WhUe the number of student school days will increase, the current 192-day teacher work year will remain uncharged.1 6A  FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 2005  I LR pupils return to classes Aug. 19 ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE The first day of classes for the 2005-06 school year will be Friday, Aug. 19. in the Little Rock School District, according to a calendar adopted Thursday night by the districts School  Board.

The world which awaits them will be a much different world than the one we know now. The much-publicized growth in knowledge, coupled with the ever increasing impact of changing technologies on our lives continues to create challenges for educators everywhere. To meet the learning needs of these students, the District and the Board of Education have adopted a five-year strategic direction plan that is comprehensive, bold and far-reaching. The plans vision states that the District will provide educational programs to meet the needs of all students, operate a constitutional school system, attain financial stability, maintain facilities that are conducive to student learning and improve the one-team concept through ployee and community involvement. em- Excellence in education is no accident. It comes with dedication and hard work, and approximately 3,000 Pulaski County Special School District employees, including teachers, administrators and support staff personnel, are working with parents, volunteers and the business community to prepare over 21,000 students for the 21st century.

Lester I believe that education is the key to a successful and rewarding life for children. The intellectual, physical, moral and emotional development of our children is a responsibility we aU share. The District has never been more effective than it is today. Since 1927, we have boasted a winning combination of well-prepared teachers, administrators and support personnel\nmotivated and capable students\nknowledgeable and involved parents\nand a supportive community with a passion for quality programs and services. Unprecedented challenges face our District as we seek to maintain the financial resources needed to support the programs and services our patrons have come to expect. As we work to educate all students, we must continue finding ways to develop programs to meet their ever-changing needs. In order to meet these challenges, the District is committed to fostering partnerships with businesses, colleges, universities and other agencies to share resources and create special programming for the benefit of students. As we look beyond the 1993-94 school year, we know that we will be faced with on-going challenges in providing the best possible education for all children. This commitment prompted the Board of Education to appoint a task force composed of employees, parents and the business community to develop a vision and a five-year strategic plan for our District. We win face many other issues during the next five years. We must look ahead, attempt to forecast changes and prepare for them. By continuing to build on the excellence that has been accomplished in the past, Pulaski County Special School District wdl remain a leader in providing innovative educational opportunities. A demanding community creates an excellent school system, and we continue to respond to our patrons desire to maintain our leadership in education. Working together with determination and knowledge bom of experience, we will meet the new challenges and make them stepping stones to our continued success. Administrative Staff Bobby G.
