On the varsity level for all sports, adult ticket price would remain the same. The $1.00 increase on a student ticket would be $4.00. Admission prices at the middle school level for all athletic events will increase $1.00 also. Adult ticket prices would increase to $4.00 and student ticket to $3.00. This increase keeps North Little Rock School District in line with the other 7 A Central Conference schools. There will be no changes in the current season ticket prices or \"All Sports\" season ticket prices. \"World Class Schools for World Class Students\" An Equal Opportunity Employer C-1 CURRENT BOARD POLICY - 4.4 STUDENT TRANSFERS 4.4----STUDENTT RANSFERS The North Little Rock School District shall review and accept or reject requests for transfers, both into and out of the District, on a case by case basis.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ''ordC1'ed the creation of the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM) to assist the district court in its supervision\" of the desegregation efforts of LRSD. PCSSD and NLRSD. LRSD v. PCSSD, 451 F.3d 528, 529 (8th Cir. 2006). This Court has released LRSD \"from all further supervision and monitoring from the Court, ODM and Joshua based upon its having subs~ntially complied with all of its obligations under the Revised Plan, the September 2002 Compliance Remedy, and the June 2004 Compliance Remedy.\" Order Declaring the little Rock School District Unitary, February 23, 2007, p. 49. This Order has not been stayed and r,ernains in effect pending appeal. 3. Since ODM was created ''to assist the district coun in its supel'Vision\" of LRSD, and the Court has held \"that LRSD is released from all further supervision and monitoring,\" then tbere is no practical reason for requiring LRSD to continue to participate in the funding of ODM. More importantly, however, LRSD has achieved unitary status and is no longer subject to the Court's jurisdiction to impose further remedies such as a requirement to continue to fund the '. ODM- Board of Edu.catwn v. Dowelt 498 U.S- 237, 247 (1991) (\"From the very first, federal supervision of local schooJ ~ystems was intended as a temporary measure to remedy past discrimination.\"); Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 490 (1992) (\"Returning schools to the con_trol of local autttorities at the earliest practicable date is essential to restore their true accountability in our govemmental system.\") WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, Joshua's request that LRSD continue to participate in the funding of OJ\u0026gt;M should be denied.

A group of taxpayers, parents and patrons of the LRSD (\"proposed intervenors\") claim to represent the legitimate interests of LRSD and seek to intervene in this appeal. See Second Amended Motion to Intervene, paragraphs 21 - and 24. The proposed intervenors assert that the LRSD Board of Directors \"is unable to represent the interests of the District because the majority of the Board - members are under the influence of [Appellants' counsel].\" Id. at paragraph 25. They ask the Court to dismiss this appeal or, alternatively, to enjoin LRSD from seeking to resolve this appeal through the Court's prehearing conference program. Id. at paragraphs 31 and 32; see Rules for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit 32A; Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 33. 2. The director of the Court's prehearing conference program has scheduled a prehearing conference for August 9 and 10, 2007 at Little Rock. Appellants have presented LRSD a \"settlement proposal\" which will likely represent their opening position at the prehearing conference. The proposed intervenors believe that the Appellants' settlement proposal should be rejected. See Second Amended Motion to Intervene, paragraph 9 (\"[T]he proposed settlement will create a nightmare for the District\"); paragraph 8 (\"The settlement prop'osed by Mr. Walker would provide Mr. Walker unwarranted contractual leverage over the District);\" paragraph 14 (LRSD's attorney advised the LRSD Board that the \"settlement proposal would unduly bind the District\" and \"likely would violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution .... \"). LRSD has not agreed to Appellants' proposal, however, or decided to do anything more than participate in the Court's prehearing_ conference program. 3. The Intervenors do not provide the Court a sufficient basis to justify the extraordinary use of federal power to prevent opposing parties in litigation from even talking about their differences in an effort to resolve them. The federal 2 - courts have always respected the democratic process and the legitimate auth0rity of local officials. Even in cases involving constitutional violations ( and no illegal acts of any kind are alleged here), federal courts have recognized the importance of returning control to locally elected school officials at the earliest possible time. Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 490 (1992) (\"Returning schools to the control of local authorities at the earliest practicable date is essential to restore their true accountability in our governmental system.\") 4. The proposed intervenors want to intervene to ask the Court to dismiss this appeal \"for failure to prosecute or, in the alternative, on mootness grounds.\" Second Amended Motion to Intervene, paragraph 31. Appellants have been ~anted two extensions of time but those have been within the authority of the clerk to grant. Rules for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, 37B{a). In a separate response filed today, L~D agrees with Appellants that this appeal should be held in abeyance pending the outcome of the prehearing conference. There has therefore been no sanctionable failure to prosecute this appeal. 5. The question of the viability of the Joshua Intervenors as a class will be addressed by the Appellants. LRSD simply sees no legal impediment to its participation in the Court's prehearing conference program and then, if necessary, - seeking to have the District Court's Order affirmed on the merits of this appeal. 3 6. The proposed intervenors contend that the \"[t]he interests of the District and the community represented by the proposed intervenors cannot be ' served by regular school board elections.\" They argue that \"[t]he ballot box is an inadequate remedy in this case.\" Second Motion to Intervene, paragraph 24. The LRSD Board members are the elected representatives of the people. They are free to exercise all of the authority granted them under Arkansas law. The proposed intervenors do not accuse the Board of having acted illegally or beyond the scope of its authority, but only in a manner which the proposed intervenors consider to be \"contrary to interests of the District.\" There is no reason for this Court to determine who represents the interests of LRSD. The voters have already done ' that. If the proposed intervenors disagree with the legal actions of the LRSD Board of Directors, the ballot box provides not only an adequate remedy, but the only 'remedy. 7. In the absence of an alleged constitutional violation, the exercise of federal jurisdiction to limit or control a school board's legitimate exercise of its statutory authority also offends the right of the State of Arkansas to exercise governmental power through the creation of political subdivisions such as school districts. Hunter v. City of Pittsburgh, 207 US 161 (1907); See also, Sailors v. Board of Education, 387 US 105 (1967). 8. The proposed intervenors \"are not entitled to intervene based merely on the belief that their representatives on the School Board are not aggressively 4 defending the instant lawsuit.\" Graham v. Evangeline Parish School Board, 223 F.R.D. 407, 435 (W.D. La. 2004); citing United States v. Franklin Parish School Board, 47 F3d 755, 757 (5th Cir 1995). The proposed intervenors have not overcome the \"presumption that government institutions represent the interests of the public at large.\" Graham v. Evangeline Parish School Board, 223 F.R.D. 407 at 435; citing United States v. Louisiana, 90 F.R.D. 358, 363-364 (E. D. La. 1981). The Second Amended Motion to Intervene should be denied. WHEREFORE, LRSD respectfully requests that the Court deny the Second Amended Motion to Intervene and grant it all other proper relief. Respectfully submitted, Christopher Heller (Ark.
