Projected Ending Date January 15, 1995 2. Actual as of August 31, 2005 In May 1995, monitors completed the unannounced visits of schools in Pulaski County. The monitoring process involved a qualitative process of document reviews, interviews, and observations. The monitoring focused on progress made since the announced monitoring visits. In June 1995, monitoring data from unannounced visits was included in the July Semiannual Report. Twenty-five per cent of all classrooms were visited, and all of the schools in Pulaski County were monitored. All principals were interviewed to determine any additional progress since the announced visits. The July 1995 Monitoring Report was reviewed by the ADE administrative team, the Arkansas State Board of Education, and the Districts and filed with the Court. The report was formatted in accordance with the Allen Letter. In October 1995, a common terminology was developed by principals from the Districts and the Lead Planning and Desegregation staff to facilitate the monitoring process. The announced monitoring visits began on November 14, 1995 and were completed on January 26, 1996. Copies of the preliminary Semiannual Monitoring Report and its executive summary were provided to the ADE administrative team and the State Board of Education in January 1996.

Actual as of August 31, 2005 A committee within the ADE was formed in May 1995 to review and collect data on existing legislation and regulations identified by the parties as impediments to desegregation. The committee researched the Districts' concerns to determine if any of the rules, regulations, or legislation cited impede desegregation. The legislation cited by the Districts regarding loss funding and worker's compensation were not reviewed because they had already been litigated. In September 1995, the committee reviewed the following statutes, acts, and regulations: Act 113 of 1993\nADE Director's Communication 93-205\nAct 145 of 1989\nADE Director's Memo 91-67\nADE Program Standards Eligibility Criteria for Special Education\nArkansas Codes 6-18-206, 6-20-307, 6-20-319, and 6-17- 1506. In October 1995, the individual reports prepared by committee members in their areas of expertise and the data used to support their conclusions were submitted to the ADE administrative team for their review. A report was prepared and submitted to the State Board of Education in July 1996. The report concluded that none of the items reviewed impeded desegregation. As of February 3, 1997, no laws or regulations have been determined to impede desegregation efforts. Any new education laws enacted during the Arkansas 81st Legislative Session will be reviewed at the close of the legislative session to ensure that they do not impede desegregation. In April 1997, copies of all laws passed during the 1997 Regular Session of the 81st General Assembly were requested from the office of the ADE Liaison to the Legislature for distribution to the Districts for their input and review of possible impediments to their desegregation efforts. In August 1997, a meeting to review the statutes passed in the prior legislative session was scheduled for September 9, 1997. 23 IV. REPEAL STATUTES AND REGULATIONS THAT IMPEDE DESEGREGATION (Continued) E. Submit proposals to the Legislature for repeal of those laws that appear to be impediments to desegregation. (Continued) 2. Actual as of August 31, 2005 (Continued} On September 9, 1997, a meeting was held to discuss the review of the statutes passed in the prior legislative session and new ADE regulations. The Districts will be contacted in writing for their input regarding any new laws or regulations that they feel may impede desegregation. Additionally, the Districts will be asked to review their regulations to ensure that they do not impede their desegregation efforts. The committee will convene on December 1, 1997 to review their findings and finalize their report to the Administrative Team and the State Board of Education. In October 1997, the Districts were asked to review new regulations and statutes for impediments to their desegregation efforts, and advise the ADE, in writing, if they feel a regulation or statute may impede their desegregation efforts. In October 1997, the Districts were requested to advise the ADE, in writing, no later than November 1, 1997 of any new law that might impede their desegregation efforts. As of November 12, 1997, no written responses were received from the Districts. The ADE concludes that the Districts do not feel that any new law negatively impacts their desegregation efforts. The committee met on December 1, 1997 to discuss their findings regarding statutes and regulations that may impede the desegregation efforts of the Districts. The committee concluded that there were no laws or regulations that impede the desegregation efforts of the Districts. It was decided that the committee chair would prepare a report of the committee's findings for the Administrative Team and the State Board of Education. The committee to review statutes and regulations that impede desegregation is now reviewing proposed bills and regulations, as well as laws that are being signed in, for the current 1999 legislative session. They will continue to do so until the session is over. The committee to review statutes and regulations that impede desegregation will meet on April 26, 1999 at the ADE. The committee met on April 26, 1999 at the ADE. The purpose of the meeting was to identify rules and regulations that might impede desegregation, and review within the existing legislation any regulations that might result in an impediment to desegregation. This is a standing committee that is ongoing and a report will be submitted to the State Board of Education once the process is completed. 24 IV. REPEAL STATUTES AND REGULATIONS THAT IMPEDE DESEGREGATION (Continued) E. Submit proposals to the Legislature for repeal of those laws that appear to be impediments to desegregation. (Continued) 2. Actual as of August 31, 2005 (Continued) The committee met on May 24, 1999 at the ADE. The committee was asked to review within the existing legislation any regulations that might result in an impediment to desegregation. The committee determined that Mr. Ray Lumpkin would contact the Pulaski County districts to request written response to any rules, regulations or laws that might impede desegregation. The committee would also collect information and data to prepare a report for the State Board. This will be a standing committee. This data gathering will be ongoing until the final report is given to the State Board. On July 26, 1999, the committee met at the ADE. The committee did not report any laws or regulations that they currently thought would impede desegregation, and are still waiting for a response from the three districts in Pulaski County. The committee met on August 30, 1999 at the ADE to review rules and regulations that might impede desegregation. At that time, there were no laws under review that appeared to impede desegregation. In November, the three districts sent letters to the ADE stating that they have reviewed the laws passed by the 82nd legislative session as well as current rules \u0026amp; regulations and district policies to ensure that they have no ill effect on desegregation efforts. There was some concern from PCSSD concerning a charter school proposal in the Maumelle area. The work of the committee is on-going each month depending on the information that comes before the committee. Any rules, laws or regulations that would impede desegregation will be discussed and reported to the State Board of Education. On October 4, 2000, the ADE presented staff development for assistant superintendents in LRSD, NLRSD and PCSSD regarding school laws of Arkansas. The ADE is in the process of forming a committee to review all Rules and Regulations from the ADE and State Laws that might impede desegregation. The ADE Committee on Statutes and Regulations will review all new laws that might impede desegregation once the 83rd General Assembly has completed this session. The ADE Committee on Statutes and Regulations will meet for the first time on June 11, 2001 at 9:00 a.m. in room 204-A at the ADE.

Those students not participating in the Smart Core curriculum will be required to fulfill the Common Core curriculum or the requirements of their IEP (when applicable) to be eligible for graduation. The signed Informed Consent Form. shall be attached to the student's permanent transcript. Informed Consent Forms are required to be signed upon entry into the seventh grade or upon enrolling in the district. Counseling by trained personnel shall be available to students and their parents or legal guardians prior to the time they are required to sign the Informed Consent Form. While there are similarities between the two curriculums, following the Common Core curriculum may not qualify students for some scholarships and admission to certain colleges could be jeopardized. Students initially choosing the Common Core curriculum may change to the Smart Core curriculum providing they would be able to complete the required course of study by the end of their senior year. Students wishing to change their choice of curriculum must consult with their counselor to determine the feasibility of completing the requirements of the Smart Core curriculum. This policy, the Smart Core curriculum, and the courses necessary for graduation shall be reviewed by staff, students, and parents at least every other year to determine if changes need to be made to better serve the needs of the district's students. The superintendent, or his/her designee, shall select the composition of the review panel. Sufficient information relating to Smart Core and the district's graduation requirements shall be communicated to parents and students to ensure their informed understanding of each. This may be accomplished through any or all of the following means.  Inclusion in the student handbook of the Smart Core curriculum and graduation requirements\n Inclusion in the Course Description handbook of the Smart Core curriculum and graduation requirements\n Discussion of the Smart Core curriculum and graduation requirements at the school's annual public meeting, PTA meetings, or a meeting held specifically for the purpose of informing the public on this matter\n Discussions held by the school's counselors with students and their parents\nand/or  Distribution ofa newsletter(s) to parents or guardians of the district's students. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS C-1 PROPOSED POLICY - 5.16A SECOND READING AUGUST 18, 2005 A minimum of 26 units are required for graduation for a student participating in either the Smart Core or Common Core curriculum. There are some distinctions made between Smart Core units and Graduation units. Not all units earned toward graduation necessarily apply to Smart Core requirements. SMART CORE REQUIREMENTS: Sixteen (16) units English Oral Communications 4 units (years) unit( year) Mathematics 4 units (years)  Algebra I  Geometry or Geometry Investigations .. A two-year algebra equivalent may be counted as two units of the four-unit requirement for the purpose of meeting the graduation requirement, but only serve as one unit toward meeting the Smart Core requirement.

Date Adopted: C-3 Memo To: Mr. Ken Kirspel, Interim Superintendent of Schools From: Date: Re: Greg Daniels, CFO/CIO @) July 28, 2005 General Operating \u0026amp; Checking Account ,. Proposals were received from six local financial institutions:  Bank of America  Bank of the Ozarks  One Banc  Regions Bank  Twin City Bank  US Bank NLRSD-Business Office Each of these six banks submitted proposals that addressed the items in the Request for Proposal. Each of the banks clearly submitted a slightly different approach to meeting our banking needs. Each of the six financial institutions are qualified and each have the financial strength and technology to provide the type of services that would meet our banking needs. Two of the banks clearly stood out in their proposals of offering a \"No Service Fee\" plus interest on our daily balance. Bank of the Ozarks will offer 3.50% and Twin City Bank will offer 3.5172%. Each of these two financial institutions were called back for questions and a time of demonstration of the on-line web-based banking systems. Both Bank of the Ozarks and Twin City Bank offer a secure web-based banking system. In the unanimous opinion of the committee, the product offered by the Bank of the Ozarks would meet the needs of the North Little Rock School District business department as well as meet the needs of the employees of the District. Even though the interest rate of Twin City was 0.0172% higher than Bank of the Ozarks. the committee felt that the user-friendly, dynamic, secure web-based system would save the staff enough time to warrant this recommendation. -.

The attached maps show the new proposed locations. In these new locations there would be no need for attached lights and the tower at Ridgeroad would be taller to make up for the lower elevation below the football field. I would certainly recommend these changes. These changes have the support of the aldermen for each site. A third proposal for a cell tower at Boone Park Elementary will likely be presented to the Board for consideration in the near future. Thanks.

Poplar North Little Rock, Ar. 72114 Dear Barry: ,. In appreciation for the use of the NLRHS West Campus Arena this past spring, the NLR Upward Leadership would like to make a formal request for the 2006 spring semester, for the use of the Upward Awards Event. Since the evaluation response's from our families indicated there were numerous 'conflicts' on a school night for the Upward Awards Program back in March of this spring, we would like to request the use of the NLR Arena for Sunday, March 12th from 2:30-4:30 for the actual event. This will give families an opportunity to have fewer conflicts for the afternoon in comparison with a week night. The suggested date is also a week later than the weekend the arena could be used for the state SA basketball tournament, in case it returns to central Arkansas. We would need to work out times with Dan Russell \u0026amp; Donna Anderson for 'set up' with the custodial staff. The clean up and tear down from the event would follow the 4:30 dismissal time. As we agreed, additional hours and staff would be noted for the rental agreement with NLR Upward. All precautions would also be taken for the safety of the participants and gym floor surface. We look forward hearing back from the NLR School Board when this 'request' is discussed and determined. Victory!

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools Special Education In November of 2004, a group of special education instructors, representing the interests of Little Rock School District special education teachers, brought to the Board a series of concerns regarding special education issues and the delivery of instructional services to LRSD students with special needs. At the Board's direction, a special task force was formed which included the Associate Superintendent for Educational Services, Jhe Special Education Director and Staff, the CT A Executive Director and President, and a representative sample of special education teachers. The task force began monthly meetings in December of 2004 and examined the needs of special education students through the following topics:  Professional Development  Instructional Materials  Communication  Technology  Compliance  Working Conditions RATIONALE: From the outset, the goal of the task force was to develop ways of improving services to special needs students. The task force found that by modifying a number of practices currently in place and by instituting others, the concerns brought to the Board on behalf of the special needs students could be dramatically reduced and the special needs student could be better served. The task force recommendations are detailed in the accompanying report. FUNDING: Funds generated as a result of the reorganization of the District along with federal entitlement dollars will be allocated to support the implementation of the recommendations. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the task force report.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Cloverdale Elementary School at Badgett Student Reassignment Plan BACKGROUND: Cloverdale Elementary School, built in 1959, was transferred by court order from the Pulaski County Special School District to the Little Rock School District during the 1987- 1988 school year. The school is single-story and shares a campus with Cloverdale Middle School. The elementary school was built on land considered poor for construction. The combination of the soil and techniques used in construction caused the structural beams supporting the school's floor to erode. A structural study completed in 2004 determined that structural failure is occurring and that the building is slowly sinking. In the spring of 2005, the Board approved plans to relocate Cloverdale Elementary students at the former Badgett Elementary building and to tear down the school. Cloverdale Elementary had a capacity of 448 students. In October 2004 enrollment was 360. Following the announcement that Cloverdale students would be relocated to Badgett for the 2005-2006 school year, parents began requesting Transfer No Transportation (TNT) transfers to other LRSD schools. By August 18, 2005, TNT transfers had been granted to 144 Cloverdale ES students. In addition, other students were reassigned out of Cloverdale because they moved away from the attendance zone. accepted seats at magnet schools, requested assignment to Pulaski County Special School District on Minority to Majority (M to M) transfers or were attending Cloverdale on TNT transfers and requested a return to their attendance zone school. On August 26, 2005, only 111 Cloverdale ES students were registered and attending school at Badgett. By September 6, 2005, registration had risen to only 119. An inventory reveals that there are enough vacant seats to accommodate K-1 students at Watson Elementary and !.J,,' m\n:o is z z m..... (\") ::c \u0026gt;z C) m (/) !J' r\n:: z C C: (/) m ~ ill m ~ ='i p g z ~ iz5 (/) 0 .-,n, .~,, m ~ grades 2-3 at Mabelvale Elementary. Parents of grade 4-5 students will be able to select from available seats in other schools in southwestern part of the district. RATIONALE: The continued operation of low enrollment schools and the resulting fiscal inefficiency has been a concern in the district for several years. The Cloverdale at Badgett Elementary School qualifies as a low enrollment school. FUNDING: Reassignment of the Cloverdale at Badgett students presents no additional cost to the Little Rock School District. RECOMMENDATION: It is not financially prudent for the district to continue operating Cloverdale at Badgett with its low enrollment. The students should be reassigned to Watson, Mabelvale and other southwest elementary schools. A timeline for notifying students, parents, teachers and school staff about reassignment and the options that are available has been developed. In addition, a special task force appointed by the Superintendent will examine the future of Cloverdale Elementary School. The task force report will become part of the Superintendent's recommendation on Cloverdale which will be brought to the Board before the end of the calendar year. PREPARED BY: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 DATE: TO: September 22, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Larry Berkley President, Board of Directors SUBJECT: Policy GBK Staff Concerns/Complaints/Grievances BACKGROUND: The Board of Directors periodically reviews polices and regulations which provide the district's administration a clear line of authority for operating the district in an efficient and effective manner. A review of Policy GBK Staff Concerns/Complaints/Grievances and the accompanying Policy GBK-R, both of which are modeled after Act 1357 amended by the Arkansas Legislature in 2003, describes the process an employee must use in resolving a work-related grievance. A copy of Act 1357 is attached. However, the policy, and its companion regulations in their present forms, does not clearly encourage employees to adhere to the process. School Board members are also part of the grievance process and our obligations also must be more clearly defined. In addition, Policy GBK does not strongly communicate that the Board will not tolerate reprisal or retaliation directed at employees who make use of the policy. RATIONALE: Policies should be clear and concise and offer specific directives to staff and administration. The revision of GBK and GBK-R prescribes a more thorough process for resolving employee grievances and protects employees from retaliation. FUNDING: This policy revision carries no financial implications. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt on first reading the revisions to Policy GBK and Policy GBK-R. New text is underlined text. Eliminated text is marked in (parentheses).

(and without reprisals.) It is the expressed intent of the Board of Education that there shall be no reprisals or retaliation of any kind made, nor will any be tolerated, against any employee who exercises his or her rights under this policy. \"Grievance\" will mean any concern related to personnel (policies)~ (or) salary.,_ federal or state laws and regulations. or terms or conditions of employment raised by an employee. \"Employee\" will mean a person employed by the District under a written contract. The specific processes and provisions applicable to grievance procedures are outlined in the Grievances/Concerns/Complaints regulation. GBK-R. The Board of Education encourages an employee to resolve a grievance or any other issue through the chain of command process prescribed by this policy and regulation or by a negotiated agreement. Revised : Adopted: November 18, 1999 References: Board of Education Regulation GBK-R Legal Reference: AC.A. 6-17-208 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: GBK-R GRIEVANCE/CONCERNS/COMPLAINTS Purpose Some groups of employees are covered by grievance procedures defined in their respective negotiated agreement. For those employees not covered by a negotiated agreement the following process will apply. Communication and discussion can resolve the majority of questions and problems that cause difficulties between the employer and employee. When resolution is not reached rapidly, the employer and the staff member may proceed to effect resolution in writing as defined in this procedure. The purpose of the resolution procedures is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions consistent with the legal standards of \"due process,\" to problems that may from time to time arise. The purpose is to (obtain better understanding of policies, to) encourage employees to express themselves more effectively on subjects concerning conditions of employment, and to ensure to all employees that their questions and problems are considered fairly, rapidly and without reprisals. Documents and Confidentiality All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance will be filed separately from the personnel files of the participants and will be destroyed three years after the last official entry. All parties will hold the resolution proceedings in confidentiality at all levels. Normally, the resolution process should be conducted at times that do not interfere with the assigned duties. Process \"Grievance\" means any concern related to personnel policy, salary, federal or state laws(,) and regulations, or terms or conditions of employment, raised by an employee. \"Employee\" means a person employed by a school district under a written contract. The first step in the procedure is to seek an informal resolution between the employee and the immediate supervisor. If the grievance is not resolved at the informal phase, the grievance is to be committed to writing and sent to the applicable supervisor within five calendar days of the incident resulting in the grievance. The employee will immediately thereafter schedule a meeting with the appropriate supervisor to discuss the complaint and resolutions sought. The parties should act in good faith to expedite the process. .!J.,I m i\"s' z z ,m- (\") ::r:: ~ C\u0026gt; m V, !JI r\nz C C V, m \u0026gt; C\u0026gt; \"m' m\nIC m ::i 8 z ~ iz5 V, 0.... ,, ~.., m s LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: GBK-R Upon request, the applicable supervisor will schedule a meeting with the grievant within five workdays of receipt of the written grievance. If the problem is not resolved in the meeting held with the supervisor, and the employee indicates a desire to pursue further, a written request must be submitted within five workdays for an appeal to the Office of the Superintendent or designee. Appeals The appeal will be heard in the Office of the SuperintendenUdesignee within ten workdays of the request for an appeal. An employee who has not been satisfied with the answer at the Superintendent's level may request that the grievance be submitted to the Board of Education. The request will include a written statement setting forth the issue(s) to be reviewed by the Board of Education and is to be addressed to the President of the Board c/o Superintendent's Office. Other Provisions An employee seeking to resolve a grievance as defined above is required to use the terms and conditions of their negotiated agreement for resolution of grievances. Employees not covered by a negotiated agreement are bound by the provisions of this policy. In either case, the responsibility for ensuring that the prescribed due process is adhered to and will not be circumvented is shared at all levels of the district, up to and including the Board of Education. Employees who have begun or who are considering initiating a grievance procedure either under the terms of this policy or under the terms of a negotiated agreement are prohibited from undertaking any action that seeks to circumvent the prescribed process. Specifically, employees are prohibited from conveying or causing the conveyance of information about their grievance to members of the Board of Education prior to completing the chain of command process prescribed by this policy or their negotiated agreement. Employees must be aware that receipt of such information by a member of the Board may be cause for that Board member to recuse him/herself from an employee grievance hearing. Likewise, members of the Board of Education, by definition of their role in the process, must refrain from any involvement in an employee grievance until the process formally reaches the Board as prescribed in this policy or a negotiated agreement. Members of the Board should always encourage an employee to resolve a grievance or any other issue through the chain of command process prescribed by this policy or by a negotiated agreement.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Rightsell Elementary School BACKGROUND: A complete executive summary report dated August 26, 2005, provided a detailed analysis of the enrollment and renovation estimates for Rightsell Elementary School. The official enrollment at Rightsell for the 2004-2005 school year was 262 students\nby comparison, the total enrollment as of August 26, 2005, was 190 students. In summary, the Rightsell facility is unable to meet current educational standards without extensive and costly repairs and renovations. In the spring of 2005, a committee of district administrative staff developed a plan to temporarily educate the students assigned to Rightsell at Badgett Elementary School so that renovation and remediation projects could proceed. After additional review, it was determined that sufficient numbers of vacant seats were available at other schools located near Rightsell, and the students were therefore relocated to Washington Elementary School. It should be noted that Washington Elementary School has a capacity of approximately 900. The total number of students now attending school at the Washington site is 821 : 631 Washington students and 190 Rightsell students. Meetings were held with Rightsell parents, community members, teachers and staff on June 28, 2005, and again on August 30, 2005. Rightsell parents have been assured that their children will continue to receive a high quality education this year, and in upcoming years in the LRSD. RATIONALE: The operation of low enrollment schools has been a concern in the District for several years. In May of 2000 the Board of Directors adopted Policy FBG--Closing of Schools, that allows for closure to be considered based on factors such as excessive cost of operation due to enrollment and excessive cost of renovation and repair due to the age !D  z 0 C CJ\u0026gt; m \u0026gt; C)\no m m I:: m ~ !\"' g z ~ c5 z CJ\u0026gt; .0. , \"ti ~ \"ti m ~ and physical condition of the facility. Schools in similar situations, such as Garland, Badgett, lsh, Fair Park (recently converted to the Early Childhood Center) and Mitchell, were closed because of low enrollment coupled with high operational and renovation costs. The detailed circumstances and conditions that lead the administration to make a recommendation to close Rightsell Elementary School at the conclusion of the 2005- 2006 school year were provided to you in an executive report attached to the August 26, 2005, edition of the Snapshot. FUNDING: N/A RECOMMENDATION: It is not financially prudent to renovate Rightsell Elementary School. The administration recommends that Rightsell Elementary be closed and the students currently assigned to Rightsell Elementary at Washington be reassigned effective at the beginning of the 2006-07 school year. The closure of Rightsell will allow students to attend newer schools and will not negatively impact their education. The administration further recommends that the district work with the community to develop other options for utilizing this facility in the future. PREPARED BY: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: FBC CLOSING OF SCHOOLS A school will be considered for closure based on a recommendation from the administration to the Board of Education or the recommendation may originate from the Board. Consideration for closure will be based on the following factors: excessive cost of operation due to enrollment, excessive cost of renovation and repair due to the age and physical condition of the facility, inability of the district to deliver the required curriculum in the facility, and any applicable federal court orders. A decision to close a school will be made by the Board of Education. Prior to any decision to close a school, there will be open discussion of the prospect of closure with the community in which the school is located. A public announcement of the proposal to close a school will precede the closing date by at least twelve months, except in cases of extreme emergency.

(c) Attend Rightsell but do not live in Rightsell Attendance Zone (K thru 4) Currently 162 elementary-age students (Pre-K through 4th grade) live in the Rightsell Attendance Zone (see Attachment Table: A). Sixty nine (69) of these students presently attend another elementary school through choice options and would remain in their current school for the 2006-2007 school year (see Attachment Table: BJ. As of September 14, 2005, Rightsell Elementary School has a student population of 186\n28 of those students are in the 5th grade and will move into middle school for the 2006- 07 school year. The Washington Elementary School complex currently houses a total of 829 students\n186 Rightsell Elementary students and 643 students Washington Elementary School students. A total of 158 Pre-K through 4th grade students currently attend Rightsell Elementary School\n93 from the Rightsell attendance zone and 65 from out-of-zone. The sixty-five (65) students would be reassigned to their attendance zone schools for 2006-2007 school year (see Attachment Table: CJ. A total 162 students who reside in the Rightsell Attendance Zone would be impacted by the reassignments. Naturally, all students are provided choice options through magnet school placements, Transfer/ No Transportation {TNT) or Majority to Minority (M to M) transfers through established procedures provided by the Student Registration Office. With the majority of Rightsell students presently attending Washington Elementary, the disruption to students and parents should be minimal. The administration will recommend dividing the Rightsell Attendance Zone utilizing Wright Avenue / 1th Street as the zone boundary. This will result in thirty (30) students who reside north of Wright Avenue/ 17th Street to be assigned to King Elementary School\n132 students who reside south of Wright Avenue / 1 ih Street would be reassigned to Washington Elementary School. kU13dOHd :10 SNOllVNOO ':) Little Rock School District Rightsell Attendance Zone 2006 - 2007 Elementary Students Who Reside in the Rightsell Attendance Zone (P4 - 4th Grade) RIGHTSELL Grade Level Zone Blocks P4 K 1 2 434 1 2 1 435 2 1 1 448 3 2 1 449 3 8 2 450 1 0 1 454 1 3 3 455 1 2 5 456 3 6 6 464 4 4 2 Total 19 28 22 Table: A 1N3W33H~V 3S0 ONYl a 1N3WNHnorov 11x 0 2 1 6 7 5 2 5 5 33 3 2 1 3 4 3 4 4 0 5 26 \"'INIHV3H 1N3001S 'IX IHVW3H ~NISOl:\u0026gt; 'X 4 3 1 3 4 6 5 8 0 4 34 Total 9 8 13 27 18 21 22 20 24 162 1HOd3H 1111:\u0026gt;NVNl:I a Little Rock School District Rightsell Attendance Zone Study 2006-2007 Reside in Rightsell Attendance Zone and Attend Other Elementary Schools Rlghtsell Zone Current School Grade Level Total Blocks P4 K 1 2 3 4 FOREST PARK 1 1 FRANKLIN 1 1 KING 1 1 0434 MCDERMOTT 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 WILLIAMS 1 1 Subtotal 1 0 0 0 2 3 6 FAIR PARK 1 1 Home School 1 1 0435 JEFFERSON 1 1 KING 1 1 ROCKEFELLER 1 2 3 Subtotal 2 0 1 2 1 1 7 ALT AGENCY 1 1 BALE 1 1 GIBBS 1 1 0448 KING 1 1 STEPHENS 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 3 0 0 0 2 1 6 BALE 1 1 2 CARVER 1 1 0449 CRYSTAL HILL 1 1 1 3 FAIR PARK 3 3 GIBBS 1 1 Subtotal 3 0 1 2 1 3 10 CHICOT 1 1 0450 STEPHENS 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 1 0 1 0 0 1 3 CARVER 1 1 2 GIBBS 1 1 JEFFERSON 1 1 0454 KING 1 1 OUTSIDE DIST. 1 1 STEPHENS 1 1 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 1 2 0 2 1 2 8 BOOKER 2 1 3 GIBBS 1 1 JEFFERSON 1 1 0455 KING 1 1 ROCKEFELLER 1 1 2 4 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 1 0 2 2 2 4 11 BOOKER 2 2 CARVER 1 1 GIBBS 1 1 2 0456 KING 1 1 2 OUTSIDE DIST. 1 1 2 WASHINGTON 1 1 Subtotal 3 2 4 1 0 0 10 BOOKER 1 1 FAIR PARK 1 1 FRANKLIN 1 1 0464 KING 1 1 WASHINGTON 2 2 WILLIAMS 1 1 WOODRUFF 1 1 Subtotal 4 1 0 0 1 2 8 Grand Total 19 5 9 9 10 17 69 Table: B Little Rock School District Rightsell Study 2005-2006 Students Attending Rightsell not living in Rightsell Attendance Zone (K thru 4) Grade Attendance Zone School K 1 2 3 4 Total OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT 3 1 1 2 7 BALE 1 1 1 1 4 CLOVERDALE ELEM 1 1 1 3 FRANKLIN 2 1 3 GEYER SPRINGS 1 1 KING 1 2 2 5 PULASKI HEIGHTS ELEM 1 1 ROCKEFELLER 5 3 4 1 2 15 - STEPHENS 1 2 3 TERRY 1 1 WASHINGTON 8 3 5 2 3 21 WATSON 1 1 Total 20 14 12 12 7 65 Table: C ..,, z \u0026gt; , z n ,\u0026gt;- ~ el ~ :\u0026gt;\u0026lt;- \u0026gt;.\u0026lt; v...,. ,nc: O C v, mz Zc, \"\"'::a :Cm ~~ z2:!\n-a r ~ \u0026gt; ~ 0 C: ~ ~ zm .... p C 0 z ~ ~z V, ..0.., ,, .e.,: m ~ DATE: TO: FROM: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 September 22, 2005 Board of Directors Roy G.

The parking lot will be available for use by both Woodruff Elementary School and the Little Rock Boys and Girls Club at Lamar Porter Baseball Field. The attached agreement provides for cost-sharing in the initial development of the property and a prorated share dealing with maintenance and upkeep for a period of 25 years beginning in 2005. FUNDING: Bond funds for this project were approved by the Board of Directors as a part of the 2000 millage appropriation. On-going maintenance and repairs will be funded by the Dedicated Millage Fund. ,\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;. .\u0026gt; \u0026lt; rn n .... re: 0 om mz Zc, \"\"'\nc :\u0026gt;::m ~f\n!!\nc rz - ~ \u0026gt; E 0 C: ~ ii: .mz.. . r\u0026gt; 0 0 z ?\n0z u, 0.. , \"ti i3 \"ti ~ RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Little Rock School District Board of Directors approve the agreement with the Little Rock Boys and Girls Club as attached.

The ICE Challenge was developed to increase awareness among students of the growing energy crisis which has brought the impact of our energy choices closer to home. The Igniting Creative Energy Challenge asks students to use their creative talents to communicate their energy ideas and actions. The Challenge is an educational competition designed to encourage students to learn more about energy and the environment. Student entries should reflect the theme \"Igniting Creative Energy\" (ICE) and demonstrate an understanding of what an individual, family or group can do to make a difference in their home or community. Students can express their ideas in the form of documented science projects, stories, books, artwork, photographs, music, video or website projects, or via any other format.

The son of a doctor and a speech teacher, Delany describes growing up in the \"black world\" of segregated Raleigh and his growing awareness of racial discrimination as he grew older. In discussing his formative years, Delany offers information about race relations in the segregated South, his family's history dating back to the colonial era, and his family's interactions with an African American \"who's who. \" After finishing high school, Delany stayed in Raleigh for a few years, working as a garbage man and as a lifeguard. Because of the lack of economic opportunities, Delany moved to New York in 1942, where he lived in Harlem. Delany remained in New York for nearly sixty years before resettling in Raleigh. In New York, he worked briefly in a factory before establishing a career as a funeral director. Having spent considerable time in both the North and the South over the course of the twentieth century, Delany draws comparisons between the nature of segregation and race relations in both regions. In addition, he devotes considerable attention to a discussion of his reaction to Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years, a book written by his aunts Sarah Louise \"Sadie\" Delany and Annie Elizabeth \"Bessie\" Delany. Delany argues that his aunts' book obscured the accomplishments of the entire Delany family by focusing too narrowly on their own lives. As he sees it, the \"real\" story about his family is one of upward mobility, beginning with an enslaved ancestor who established a name for himself following his emancipation. Finally, Delany offers his thoughts on the civil rights movement, arguing that the negative consequences of desegregation as seen in the demise of black economic, educational, and social institutions far outweighed its benefits. He further maintains that the NAACP failed to support African American enterprise.","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 men--North Carolina--Raleigh","African American families--North Carolina","African Americans--North Carolina--Raleigh--Social life and customs","African Americans--New York (State)--New York--Social life and customs","African Americans--Segregation--North Carolina--Raleigh","African Americans--Segregation--New York (State)--New York","United States--Race relations","National Association for the Advancement of Colored People"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Lemuel Delany, July 15, 2005"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Twenty-five per cent of all classrooms were visited, and all of the schools in Pulaski County were monitored. All principals were interviewed to determine any additional progress since the announced visits. The July 1995 Monitoring Report was reviewed by the ADE administrative team, the Arkansas State Board of Education, and the Districts and filed with the Court. The report was formatted in accordance with the Allen Letter. In October 1995, a common terminology was developed by principals from the Districts and the Lead Planning and Desegregation staff to facilitate the monitoring process. The announced monitoring visits began on November 14, 1995 and were completed on January 26, 1996. Copies of the preliminary Semiannual Monitoring Report and its executive summary were provided to the ADE administrative team and the State Board of Education in January 1996. A report on the current status of the Cycle 5 schools in the ECOE process and their school improvement plans was filed with the Court on February 1, 1996. The unannounced monitoring visits began in February 1996 and ended on May 10, 1996. In June 1996, all announced and unannounced monitoring visits were completed, and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics.

The committee researched the Districts' concerns to determine if any of the rules, regulations, or legislation cited impede desegregation. The legislation cited by the Districts regarding loss funding and worker's compensation were not reviewed because they had already been litigated. In September 1995, the committee reviewed the following statutes, acts, and regulations: Act 113 of 1993\nADE Director's Communication 93-205\nAct 145 of 1989\nADE Director's Memo 91-67\nADE Program Standards Eligibility Criteria for Special Education\nArkansas Codes 6-18-206, 6-20-307, 6-20-319, and 6-17- 1506.

NO. 4:82CV00866WRW PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. I, ET AL. . MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY PORT ABLE BUILDINGS PCSSD for its motion states: 1 RECEIVED JUL 2 6 2005 OFRCEOF DESEGREGATION MONITORING PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTER VEN ORS INTER VEN ORS I. Attached as Exhibit A is a memorandum from the Assistant Superintendent for Leaming Services explaining and justifying the need for one portable at Robinson Middle School, one portable at Robinson High School and two portables at Jacksonville High School. . By way of explanation, the \"old gym\" at Robinson is being reclaimed by its actual owner having i been on loan to the District for decades. 2. , Exhibit A also explains the need on a temporary basis for one portable at Baker Elementary School and one portable Pine Forest Elementary School. l ' 3.  For the reasons set forth in Exhibit A, the PCS SD prays for an order of this Court approving the use of portable buildings for the uses and durations explained therein. 1 It should be noted that nothing in Plan 2000 or any operative orders of this Court address the issue of portable buildings one way or the other. As a general proposition, the PCSSD eschews the use of portables except for non classroom settings of when their use is unavoidable. Desegregation plans previous to Plan 2000 placed considerable restrictions upon the use of portable buildings but that language is no longer operative. However, the PCS SD has historically sought permission of the Court for the use of portable buildings, even on a temporary basis. Hence this motion.

Jeter, ill, Assistant Superintendent for Le2rning Se.-vices 15 July 05 Rationale for requesting portable buildings Robinson Muldle School -1 Portable As we will be losing the old gym at Robinson, there is a need to have a portable for students to be used as changing rooms until the new gym is completed and ready for usage in August 2006. Robinson High School -1 Portable The enrollment during the 2004-2005 school year was 674, and the projected enrollment at Robinson is 690 students which is over-enrolled for the building capacity. Therefore, we need pennission to continue the usage of the portable that is located there until such tim.e as additional classrooms can be built. Jacksonville High School - 2 Portables Several weeks ago, I was asked to prepare this recommendation regarding the placement of portables at JackSOnville High School, so I have copied it to this document. I do have sonic concerns based upon the conversations over the transition of ninth grade to the high school campus. In the town meetings and in related conversations, the community expressed their strong desire to keep the ninth grade as separate as possible for safety, focus, and support. After reviewing and discussing some of the recent data on high school reform, Dr. Henderson and I agreed that this would be best. He instructed us to figure it out. When we considered the estimate of 300 ninth .grade studentsrwe projected.thata:ll:)inimum of eight classrooms would be needed according.to the follovving arrangement: 2 rooms for Ninth Grade Language Arts - English I 2 rooms for Ninth Grade Mathematics - Algebra I or Intermediate Algebra A 2 rooms for Ninth Grade Social Studies - 2 rooms for Ninth Grade Strategies for Success The advanced classes, science classes, and electives could be taught in the main building. For this reason, Mr. Clark recommended that we move art to the print shop and establish the K Building as the Ninth Grade Center. Now that we are planning on using the print shop for this pUipose and that building can provide at most four classrooms, Mr. Warren's suggestion to place two portables is the only way to provide the eight classrooms. This would fulfill our district commitment to the Jacksonville community to offer a more separate and protected environment for the ninth grade students. There is a great deal ofresearch and support .from USDE supporting concepts of\"Ninth Grade Academies\" and such designs to offer support as students transition from middle school and acclimate to the high school St-\"tting. Should we decide to provide this design, I recommend that we collect data regarding academic performance and attendance/retention to consider this for our other high school environments. EXHIBIT I Baker Elementary School -1 Portable PCSSD has begun plans for a new Chenal Elementary School which will open in August 2007. The 2004-2005 Baker enrollment was 362. Projected enrollment for 2005-2006 is 380 with 15 on a waiting list. With students on a waiting list to enroll at Baker Elementary, one portable will allow the school to retain as many of these students as possible within the public education system until such time as the new facility opens and allows 800 additional seats in this feeder. Pine Forest Elementary School - 1 Portable It is the strong opinion of the PCS SD Board Representative from the Mawnelle/Oak Grove zone that there is going to be a need for this pqrtable based upon the expected increase in enrollment due to additional neighborhoods in this attendance zone. Therefore, we are requesting permission to delay moving the portable until after the 8th day count so that we have an accurate number of students enrolled.  f1~~ Arkansas ~ = DEPARTMENT OF f:DUCATION 4 STATE CAPITOL MALL  UT11.E IC\u0026gt;a.

RECEIVED OCT 3 2005 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DESEGREG=raHITORlHG EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DNISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF V. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL DEFENDANTS MOTION TO EXTEND TIME For its Motion, Plaintiff Little Rock School District (LRSD) states: 1. In accordance with the June 30, 2004 Compliance Remedy in this case, LRSD has engaged experts to prepare four Step 2 program evaluations for the 2004-05 school year. The progress of those evaluations has been reported to the Court and the parties in quarterly updates filed by LRSD, the most recent of which was filed on August 31, 2005. The evaluations are due to the Court on October 1, 2005. 2. The four Step 2 program evaluations cannot be completed without the results of the benchmark examinations administered by the State of Arkansas for the 2004-05 school year. The benchmark examination results are not yet available and will not be available until October 1 or later. Dr. Steve Ross and Dr. James Catterall, the experts hired by LRSD to conduct the four Step Y program evaluations, estimate that if they receive the benchmark exam results in early October that they would be able to deliver completed program evaluations by early January 2006. Letters from Dr. Ross and Dr. Catterall explaining the need for more time are attached to this Motion. 3. The requested extension of time is necessary to ensure the delivery ofuseful program evaluations which will fulfill the purposes of the compliance remedy. The requested extension of time will not delay any decisions about whether to continue, expand, modify or discontinue programs. Those decisions will be made in the Spring and will be effective for the 2006-07 school year. 4. LRSD has attempted to contact the Joshua Intervenors to secure their agreement to the requested extension of time, but has not yet received a response. WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above and in the attached letters fromDr. Ross and Dr. Catterall, Plaintiff Little Rock School District requests an extension of the time within which it must file four Step 2 program evaluations for the 2004-05 school year to and including Monday, J an~ary 16, 2006.

Pulaski Little Rock, AR 77206-2873 Dear Karen: According to Dr. Julian, Assistant Commissioner for the state Department of Education, her agency will receive results of the Benchmark test scores \"around the first of October\", and your experience with release of digitally formatted data indicates that you may not receive data to pass on to me and my research staff until several weeks after the state receives it. At any rate, we do not have data in hand necessary to complete our report on Year-Round Education, certainly not by the present due date of October 1, 2005. Assuming you can deliver correctly formatted data by early November, I can furnish a draft in early December and the final report by early January 2006. This schedule should permit analyzing the data, composing a complete draft, and producing the final report. Anything you can do to confirm the date of data delivery will help our team plan the balance of the work. Sincerely, (e-mailed September 26, 2005 - Signed original sent express) jsc James S.

I further understand that the digital version, which we need for computer analysis, will be available after the State sends printed versions to the districts. Thus, the data may not be available to my research staff until perhaps late fall. Whatever the actual delivery date, it typically takes us about six to eight weeks to run, verify, and interpret the analyses and then produce the draft report. I am asking you to take this time requirement into account in projecting when our final report could be ready following the release to us of Benchmark data. Given the dates above, we believe a reasonable date for delivery of the final report is early January 2006. Sincerely, Steven M.

ORDER RECEIVED OCT 3 2005 OFACEOF DESEGREGATION MONf-TORJNG PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS Pending is Little Rock School District's Motion to Extend Time (Doc. No. 3938), the first paragraph of which, reads as follows: In accordance with the June30, 2004 Compliance Remedy in this case, LRSD has engaged experts to prepare four Step 2 program evaluations for the 2004-05 school year. The progress of those evaluations has been reported to the Court and the parties in quarterly updates filed by LRSD, the most recent of which was filed on August 31, 2005. The evaluations are due to the Court on October 1, 2005. For emphasis I note that the above quoted paragraph correctly reflects that the June 30, 2004 order directed (not \"suggested\") that the subject evaluations were to be filed on October 1, 2005 ( actually, the Order directed that the evaluations were to be filed \"no later than October 1, 2005,\" but this is a small point). Late yesterday (at 4:34 p.m., to be specific), September 29, 2005, with one working day left before the October 1 deadline, LRSD filed this Motion to Extend Time. It appears from the other matters set forth in the motion, that LRSD cannot meet the October 1 deadline because of uncompleted tasks. 2004: Before writing anything else I feel compelled to quote my complete order of July 26, Regardless of an appeal, LRSD is required to continue full speed ahead, on all points, with respect to the compliance remedy set forth in the Memorandum Opinion of June 30, 2004 (Doc. No. 3875). As was noted in the June 30 Memo, LRSD is required to do only what it volunteered to do. I assume that I am stating the obvious, but, as folks are wont to say nowadays, I wanted to make sure that we are \"all on the same page.\"1 LRSD's Motion to Extend Time also contains this paragraph: LRSD has attempted to contact the Joshua Intervenors to secure their agreement to the requested extension of time, but has not yet received a response. Since the current motion by LRSD presents a weighty matter (at least my view), it seems that it would be important to have a response from Joshua's lawyers before the deadline passes. - Is it possible that both lawyers ofrecord for Joshua are traveling out of the country sans omnipresent cell phones? If what I have said above has not made it clear, I will now state it plainly-- I am not happy with the Johnny-come-lately motion. These things, among others, are on my mind: 1. How long has LRSD lrnown that they were not going to comply with the Court's direct, specific order? 2. Why was the motion not filed until the 11th hour? 3. Does this last minute filing demonstrate that LRSD is treating the Court's directives with studied neglect? 'Doc. No. 3890 (emphasis in original). 2 4. Is LRSD playing for time in the hope that the Circuit Court of Appeals will reverse, thereby relieving LRSD of what it was plainly obliged to do, regardless of the appeal? 5. Why should a last minute motion like this be granted? LRSD is directed to file a plenary response to each of the above questions by 5 p.m. next Tuesday, October 4, 2005. I note that sixty-nine page Order entered on June 30, 2004 was so long and detailed because LRSD pled that it did not understand exactly what its obligations were under earlier orders. It seems that this detailed order of June 30, 2004 did head off pleas of misunderstanding, but not a last minute motion to avoid its plain obligations, at least until a much later date. A hearing on LRSD's Motion to Extend Time will be set forthwith. The exact nature of that hearing will be determined after I receive LRSD's document in response to this Order (due next Tuesday, October 4, 2005, by 5 p.m.). IT IS SO ORDERED this 30th day of September, 2005. /s/ Wm. R.Wilson,Jr. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 3 -~~~ Arkansas ~~ DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ---==---~ HTATCAPITOLMAU.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Handbook for Parents of Pre-K Children Participating in the LRSD Early Childhood Program BACKGROUND: The Department of Early Childhood and Elementary Literacy convened a committee of early childhood teachers, principals, parents, and specialists to develop a Pre-K Parent Handbook. Several meetings were held to develop the content of the Handbook, and a draft version of the Handbook was sent to all LRSD Elementary Principals and Pre-K Teachers for their review. The attached handbook is the result of those efforts. RATIONALE: Currently the District does not have a formal district handbook regarding the preschool program. The purpose of the handbook will be to provide parents, teachers, and principals with clearly defined expectations regarding participation in the preschool (fouryear- old) program and policies and procedures for dealing with preschool issues. FUNDING: N/A RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt the Pre-K Parent Handbook as submitted.

We understand the tremendous trust you are placing in us to educate your children. Our well-trained staff is committed to ensuring that your children receive the best early learning experiences in the safest, most caring environment possible. The philosophy of the Little Rock School District Pre-Kindergarten Program is the following:  Every child deserves a safe, healthy, and secure environment.  All children can be successful learners.  The children, families, and school community should be treated with respect and honesty.  Learning should be relevant, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate.  Parents are a child's first and most important teacher.  Cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork are essential to meeting the District's Pre-K goals. The Little Rock School District offers the highest quality pre-school education available. It is the goal of the district's early childhood program to help each child achieve his/her maximum potential through a variety of experiences designed to promote a positive self-concept. A qualified and experienced staff provides a warm and supportive atmosphere which assures each child that he or she is secure and accepted. Classrooms are designed to provide a cheerful, healthy learning environment for growing, active children. PROGRAM GOALS The Little Rock School District Pre-Kindergarten Program is not a child care program, but a program designed to increase the readiness of the children for kindergarten with the ultimate goal of ensuring children's success in school. The goal will be accomplished through the following activities: 1. Provide preschool students with high quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences designed to enhance kindergarten readiness. 2. Support parents in their role as a child's first and most important teacher by providing access to educational resources and information. 3. Ensure continuity and smooth transitions from home to early education and primary school. The learning environment of the Pre-Kindergarten Program is designed to provide students with a challenging, yet developmentally appropriate curriculum. The program components are aligned with the state standards adopted in the Arkansas Early Childhood Framework. Through the active learning process, children will construct their own knowledge\nlearn how to make decisions and plans\nseek and organize information. The role of the teacher is to guide students in their construction of knowledge - challenging them to make predictions, try new approaches, and solve their own problems. Please help us achieve these goals by getting your child to school on time everyday!! 3 School Bale Baseline Brady Carver Chicot Cloverdale Dodd Fair Park Forest Park Franklin Fulbriqht Geyer Sorinas Jefferson King Mabelvale McDermott Meadowcliff Otter Creek Pulaski Heights Rightsell Rockefeller Romine Stephens Terrv Wakefield Washinaton Watson Western Hills Wilson Woodruff LIST OF PRE-KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS Address Principal 6501 32na St. Barbara Anderson 3623 Baseline Rd.

To apply for admission in a Pre-Kindergarten program, parents must contact the Little Rock School District Student Registration Office at 5th and Sherman (447-2950). If there is not an opening at the requested school, the child's name will be put on a waiting list. After receiving a notification letter of an opening, parents will need to follow the directives in the letter which will usually require notifying the Student Registration Office of acceptance or refusal of that PreKindergarten slot by an established deadline date. Upon acceptance, parents will visit the assigned school during student check-in and complete the necessary forms. The following is a list of the enrollment requirements: 1. A child must be 4 years of age on or before September 15th before entering the PreKindergarten Program. 2. In order for a child to attend class on the first day of Pre-Kindergarten, the school must have the following documents: a. Pupil Information Form b. Original Birth Certificate c. Social Security Number d. Health Screening Form (See explanation below.) e. Complete all required immunizations and provide records to the school nurse or school office. (See explanation below.) f. Permission for the child to receive emergency medical care at Arkansas Children's Hospital or a designated physician in case of an extreme medical emergency g. Information form designating persons who are allowed to pick up child from school h. Notarized custody declaration if applicable i. Updated physical or current physical The date used by the Little Rock School District for admittance to the Pre-Kindergarten Early Childhood Program is the same as that established by the State Department of Education for kindergarten eligibility. PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS AND IMMUNIZATIONS Little Rock School District Health Services require immunizations and physicals for students in the Pre-Kindergarten Program. It is mandatory that all students in the Pre-Kindergarten Program have a physical examination by their doctor or primary health care provider and submit the required Health Screening Form to the school office. In addition, Pre-K children must receive the required age-appropriate immunizations. Written proof of these immunizations must be presented before the child is admitted to school and each time the child receives additional immunizations. Children who have not met these requirements will not be allowed to attend school. Changes in immunizations must be reported to the office or school nurse. 5 THE PRE-K INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM Staffing. Every Pre-Kindergarten classroom is staffed with a certified early childhood education teacher and instructional assistant with Child Development Associate (CDA) Training. Classroom Size. Every Pre-Kindergarten classroom is limited to an enrollment of 20 children with a ratio of one adult to every ten children throughout the day with the exception of naptime. Before and After School Child Care. Child care is available at most schools before and after school from 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Please check with your assigned school to see if this service is provided. Instruction. The Little Rock School District uses a learning center approach to help children become independent thinkers, self-confident eager learners and highly skilled individuals. This approach provides opportunity for children to engage in respectful interactions in a richly prepared environment with professionals available to help them develop socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. Some of the centers that are implemented in the classrooms are the following: Block Center - Blocks provide the basic muscle development skills and creativity necessary to solve problems. This center will give children the opportunity to explore, sort, make comparisons, and build structures. Dramatic Play Center - Dramatic play is used to help children develop social interaction as they explore new and different ways to play. A variety of props will be available for children to role play. Art/Music Centers - In these centers children's self-esteem is developed. When their forms of self-expression are accepted and appreciated, children feel good about themselves. Small muscle skills and eye-hand coordination are developed in these centers. Creativity is encouraged. Language Arts Center - In this center, children begin to understand that books are exciting \"friends\" that can be enjoyed. They begin to notice that letters are symbols for the words they say. They learn to tell stories and events in sequence. They learn to \"read\" pictures. The children are developing their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in this center. Manipulative Center - This center is one in which children work with activities that develop small muscle and eye-hand coordination. Putting a puzzle together involves problem solving and configuration (seeing the shape of things and how they fit together). In this center children learn how to work independently, classify objects, put materials together, and how to take them apart. Nature/Science/Math Center - This center is a DOING center rather than a \"look but don't touch\" center. The children develop the thinking process and sensory experiences. They develop concepts of shape, color, size, number, classifying, and sequencing. 6 !J' (\") .0z.. . ~ (\") =1 m (\") ::c u, m :,c\n\u0026lt;:: .f,l, :,c .0, , m ~ C 0 z .\u0026gt;... 5 z \u0026gt;\u0026lt; en := mu, (\") (\") O::c zo Co :,c ,mu, \u0026gt;m ~~ C) (\") .. m C \u0026lt;n 0 \u0026gt; .\n,s, -~ m::c :,c C: \u0026lt;n 3: 0\u0026gt; zz ~~ ,- u, no ::c C: \u0026gt;:,c Zc-, c, m m \u0026lt;n u, ATTENDANCE Teachers begin instruction at the beginning of the school day so it is imperative that students arrive on time. When students are tardy, they miss a portion of the instruction provided to the rest of the class. Students will be considered tardy ten minutes after the first bell rings. If a child must be absent, the following procedures will be used to report and monitor absences. 1. The parenUguardian is to notify the school attendance office by noon on the date when a student is absent. Failure to do so will result in the absence being recorded as unexcused unless the principal extends the verification period. 2. Full day or part day absences will be excused for personal illness, family emergency or an unusual cause acceptable to the principal of the school in which the student is enrolled. 3. When a student has three or more unexcused absences in any class during one semester, the school attendance secretary will notify the student's parenUguardian, or persons in loco parentis. Notice will be via telephone contact by the end of the school day in which the absence occurred or sent via regular mail no later than the following school day. Data from the student's Pupil Information Form will be used in the procedure. 4. When a student has six unexcused absences in any class during one semester, the school attendance secretary will again notify the student's parenUguardian of the number of absences. Also, the student's building-level administrator will schedule a conference with the student and his or her parenUguardian to discuss the student's absence pattern and its effects, together with appropriate interventions. The administrator will explain during the conference that dismissal will occur if the student receives 12 unexcused absences a semester. LRSD DISCIPLINE POLICY FOR CHILDREN IN THE PRE-K (FOUR-YEAR-OLD) PROGRAM Discipline in the Pre-Kindergarten Program will be appropriate to the child's level of understanding and be directed toward teaching the child acceptable behavior and self-control. Staff will offer guidance to a child needing redirection. With the help of a staff member, children will be offered appropriate choices so that in their developmental years they may determine what is right and wrong. If a child continues to have behavior problems, separating the child for \"time out\" may be necessary to resolve the difficulty. Time out is appropriate for children over 2 years of age. The period of time should equal the child's age\n(for example, 4 years of age should be 4 minutes). ParenUteacher conferences may be needed to determine if other circumstances are contributing to the situation and to develop a plan of action. Behavior management used by the Little Rock School District focuses on creative conflict resolution. This technique emphasizes children learning to resolve their own conflicts with each other and with adults in a positive manner. It is designed to increase the self-esteem of the children. 7 Disciplinary Steps: (Taken from The Student Conduct Code Section of the Little Rock School District Student Handbook) 1. Prevention - trying to keep the inappropriate behavior from happening 2. Redirection - encouraging another activity, role-play appropriate behavior 3. Conference with child 4. Time out in the classroom (age appropriate amount of time and supervised) 5. Contact a parent for a conference 6. Refer to the Pupil Services Team and/or Tri-District Early Intervention Team to develop a behavior management plan 7. Up to five (5) days removal from the program 8. If a behavior is dangerous and/or unhealthy for the child, another child and/or staff members, and after all efforts have been exhausted, the child will be dismissed from the program Parents will be kept fully informed as a child progresses through the disciplinary steps. They will be called immediately when a child exhibits dangerous or uncontrollable behavior, and disciplinary action will be taken to ensure the safety for all, which, as noted above, could be dismissal from the program. The administrator may choose a more severe penalty, at any time, based on the child's past behavior record and may reduce disciplinary actions when warranted. When disciplinary actions are imposed on a child, the parent/guardian will be notified. The District's discipline procedures meet the licensing requirements as set forth by Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education Licensing requirements. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT DISTRICT POLICY STATES THAT CORPORAL PUNISHMENT MAY NOT BE USED AS A DISCIPLINARY MEASURE IN THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY ANY TEACHER, ADMINISTRATOR, OR OTHER SCHOOL PERSONNEL. PARENTS/GUARDIANS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ADMINISTER ANY FORM OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT ON SCHOOL GROUNDS. AUTHORIZED PERSONS/SIGN IN AND SIGN OUT 1. It is District and State policy that, upon arrival to school, the parent or guardian (or any designated adult or caregiver) must bring the children inside the school building to sign them in and make their presence known to the appropriate staff member. Parents must also come inside to sign their children out at the end of the school day, 2. The sign-in sheet is used to verify attendance and to ensure the child's safety. To remain in the program, a parent or designee must sign the child in and out. 3. It is important that the registering parent notify the school office in writing of persons authorized to pick up the child. A CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE SCHOOL ONLY WITH AUTHORIZED PERSONS. Anyone picking up a child should be prepared to show proper identification before the child will be released. In the case of divorced parents, it is important that the registering parent indicate on the enrollment application 8 !X' (\"') 0.z. . ~ =1 m (\"') :c en m :c \u0026lt; ?- .~., :c 0.. , m :c ::\nl C 0 z ~ 0z\ni:: \u0026gt; CD m ~ !:\n\u0026gt;en\u0026lt;~ men (\"')(\"') O\n:c Zo Co :c rmen \u0026gt;m ~~ C) (\"') .. m i:: en g .~., ~ m :c :C C en\n: 0\u0026gt; zz ,~-~en no :C C \u0026gt; :c Z(\"') c, m men en who has legal custody and who may pick the child up from school. Legal documentation will be required as proof of custody. 4. Elementary-age siblings 4th grade and older may sign a Pre-Kindergarten student in/out only if a permission letter is signed by the parent/guardian and given to the school office by the parent/guardian. 5. Children should be picked up on time after school. If parents cannot pick up their children at the appropriate time, arrangements should be made for other transportation or after school care. No child will be released from the playground. Parents should accompany their children out of the building. Children should not be allowed to leave the building unattended. Children will need to be signed in/out for the CARE program, daycare pick-ups, car pools, and/or any method of transportation. Parent cooperation will help ensure the safety of all of the Pre-Kindergartne children. ILLNESS OF CHILDREN Children with these symptoms must be kept at home:  Temperature of 100.4 or over (for the safety of the child and others, it is required that the child be kept home until 24 hours after he/she is fever-free without the aide of fever-reducing medication).  Vomiting  Diarrhea  Symptoms of communicable disease If any of these occur, parents will be contacted to pick up their children immediately. MEDICATION AT SCHOOL Transporting Medication Between Home and School: Parents are responsible for getting medicine to and from school. Children will not be allowed to transport medicine at any time. Medication Permission: Parents must complete all required information on the LRSD permission form in order for the child to receive medicine at school. Medication Storage: Parents must take student medications to the nurse or office. Students are not allowed to keep medicine in the classroom, therefore, parents should never leave medications in backpacks. All medications will be locked in the office. The school nurse or office personnel will administer all medications. Teachers are not permitted to give medications. Over the counter medication will not be given longer than five days. Once-a-day medication and twice-a-day medications should be given at home. Please notify the office if medication requires refrigeration. Medication Time: It is important that each school establish routine times for medication administration. It is not possible to have a specific time for each child. Medication Containers: Medication must be in the prescription bottle or non-prescription original container with the original label. Medication is not to be sent in any other container or wrapper (e.g., Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, lunch box, etc.). 9 APPROPRIATE DRESS FOR SCHOOL Preschool is a very active place to learn. Children paint, glue, play in sand and water, and play outdoors daily weather permitting\ntherefore, sturdy, comfortable, washable clothes are necessary. This allows the children to become actively involved in all activities. Parents should make sure their children's clothes are easy to pull up and down for bathroom needs. Tennis shoes seem to work best for all activities. Flip-flops and clogs are not safe footwear for school. Children should always have a sweater or jacket available for cool days. Light clothing is necessary when it gets hot. The child 's name must be written on all clothes that the child can take off at school. (e.g., jackets, sweaters). In case of accidents, each child will need a complete change of clothing at school. OUTDOOR PLAY Outdoor play is required for one hour each day. Weather permitting, children will play outside every day with 32 being th~ temperature guideline. The wind chill factor is taken into consideration in the winter\nheat index for the summer. Please do not ask for exceptions. If a student is too sick to go outside, parents need to keep the child home. The schools do not have enough assistants to provide one-on-one supervision and the State has strict guidelines for the ratio of adults to children. No toys will be allowed at school, and bringing toy guns to school will result in dismissal. EMERGENCY DRILLS Emergency drills are held monthly to acquaint the children with evacuation procedures. This makes quite an impression on a few children the first time a drill is held, but children soon become accustomed to the sound and know just what to do. The Pre-Kindergarten Program is equipped with a fire alarm system and smoke detectors. Fire extinguishers are placed throughout the building. NAP TIME After lunch, a nap period is scheduled for all Pre-Kindergarten children. Parents should send one small stuffed animal for the child to cuddle during naptime, one crib sheet, and a large bath towel for the mat. To protect the child's health, the District provides a sanitized mat or cot. Towels and sheets for Pre-Kindergarten are sent home on Friday to be laundered and must be returned on Monday. SCHOOL BREAKFAST/LUNCH PROGRAM A breakfast and lunch for the Pre-Kindergarten students will be available at each school. Both meals will be served in the cafeteria. Breakfast and/or lunch must be paid in advance weekly or daily. Free and reduced lunch application forms may be obtained in the school office. Food will not be heated, so parents must pack food that is prepared to be eaten as is. If a hot lunch is desired, it is suggested that the child purchase a lunch prepared by food service. If the child brings his/her lunch to school, it is recommend that a nutritious lunch be sent. Please do not send candy, gum, or soft drinks. !\"' (\"') z.0.. . ~ (\"') ::1 m (\"') :I: en m ~\n:\n~ ..,,\n,::, .0., , m\n,::, ::\n! 0 0 z :. 0 z \u0026gt;\u0026lt; (I):= men \u0026lt;\"\u0026gt;n 0:I\nzo Co\n,::,r men \u0026gt;m ~~ c, n .. m c::::en 0 \u0026gt;\n..t,,\u0026gt; ~ m:I:\n,::,c en 3: 0\u0026gt; zz ~~ r en no :I:c \u0026gt;\n,::, Z(\"') Cl m men en TOILETING Students must be completely potty trained to participate in the Pre-Kindergarten Program. No diapering will be done by the staff. If a child has an accident, the parent will be notified. Pull-ups will only be accepted due to a medical condition accompanied by a doctor's statement. PARENT INVOLVEMENT Please read carefully any notes or letters that the child brings home from school. This keeps the lines of communication open so that parents know what is happening at school. Lunch is a great time to volunteer! The school encourages all parents to become involved in their children's early education environment by volunteering or visiting in the classroom. This time can be at the parent's convenience and should be arranged with the classroom teacher. Volunteering will enhance the parent-teacher relationship and familiarize parents with the program and the many rewards of working with young children. Parents must remember, however, that is it never appropriate for a parent to discipline other children in the program. Little Rock School District has very specific disciplinary guidelines that must be followed. PARENTffEACHERCONFERENCES Two conferences will be scheduled during the school year\nhowever, conferences between parents and teachers can be arranged at the request of either party whenever the need arises. Every effort will be made to schedule a time convenient for parents\nhowever, every effort will be made not to schedule conferences during instructional time. If parents have a concern about either the program or policies regarding the Pre-Kindergarten Program, they should use the following procedure to express their concern: 1. Contact the classroom teacher and ask that a conference be arranged. Discuss the problem or concern with the child 's classroom teacher. In most cases, the teacher will be able to either explain the situation to the satisfaction of the parent or will make the necessary changes to remedy the situation. 2. If parents still have concerns, they should contact the building principal. MONEY SENT TO SCHOOL Parents should send all money in a sealed envelope with your child's name, teacher's name, and purpose of the money listed on the outside of the envelope. 11 Dear Parent or Guardian: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 Please sign and return this form to your child's teacher indicating that you have received and read this Handbook.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools Revision of Policy IJOA and IJOA-R - Field Trips BACKGROUND: The LRSD Board of Directors endorses the use of field trips. A field trip can best be described as a living laboratory in which learning is acquired through active hands-on experience with the rich resources of the local community. Each school will be responsible for using the grade level curriculum map to identify and explain the content area that each field trip will support and how student learning will be assessed. Fields trips are to be exciting and offer a learning experience for children beyond the walls of the classroom into the vast community outside. They provide children with experiences that cannot be duplicated in the school but are nonetheless an integral part of school instruction. RATIONALE: Policy IJOA and IJOA-R have been revised to provide direction to building principals and classroom teachers when planning field trips for the 2005-2006 school year. Procedures for field trips are outlined in an effort to ensure that students are spending quality instructional time with the teacher in the classroom and on field trips. Principals and teachers will be accountable for organizing field trips in an effort to ensure that each opportunity is related to the district's curriculum and to ensure that the district policy and regulations are being adhered to. FUNDING: Individual School's Operating Budget RECOMMENDATION: The Board approved IJOA on first reading at their agenda meeting on July 14. The administration requests second reading and approval of Policy IJOA for implementation during the 2005-2006 school year.

In light of the valuable contribution to a child's education, field trips should be preceded by good planning. Careful attention should be given to trip selection, pre-visit, preparation, appropriate follow up, and evaluation. Such efforts should ensure that students will have a successful educational experience. When considering a field trip, teachers are advised to first consult with their administrator regarding existing school board policies and follow the recommended procedures outlined in the regulation - lJOA -R: Field Trips. Adopted: July 22, 1999 Revised: 2 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R FIELD TRIPS Responsibilities of Principals in the Field Trip Process It is the responsibility of the principal to ensure the planning, execution, and fulfillment of all financial obligations. By signing the required Request for Educational Field Trip form (Form 221 , revised 7/05), the principal is:  stating that the field trip is related to the curriculum standards and benchmarks appropriate for the grade level or course\n indicating that the teacher will make the actual arrangements at the site and describing the kind of transportation to be used\n stating that student safety and accessibility to the trip has been considered\nand  agreeing that a requisition form to pay for entrance fees, tickets, etc. will be submitted General Procedures All activities that involve any student leaving the campus for school-sanctioned activities are construed to be field trips and will fall within these guidelines whether or not district transportation or other transportation is used. 1. The Educational Services Division will support the schools in identifying and aligning the field trip to the curriculum. Using the grade level curriculum map, the teacher will identify and explain the content area that the field trip will support and how student learning will be assessed. 2. All field trips must be curriculum-related and must be accessible to all students. All students must be afforded the opportunity to go on the field trip(s). Hence, student participation in field trips must not be used for disciplinary purposes or sanctions. All regulations in the Little Rock School District Elementary and Secondary Handbook will be followed while on the field trip and in determining eligibility to participate. 3. Field trip requests must be made at least three (3) weeks prior to the date of the field trip. If this timeline is not adhered to, the request may be denied. Schools must cancel trips at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time. Failure to do so will result in a one (1) hour regular rate penalty charge to be billed to the school. 3 !X' n .0z.. .\n:\n! n =1 m n :I: en m\na:, \u0026lt;\n=:\nf) .,,\na:, .0, , m ~ C 0 z ~ 0z\ni: \u0026gt; a, m ,~... m !=\" C)\n:\n! ..z.,. ,.\na:, .0, , 0 en \u0026gt;,... .\n,,,, ,~ m::I:\na:,c: en\nc 0\u0026gt; zz ~~ ,... en no :I: C: \u0026gt;\na:, Zn c, m men en LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) 4. Because of the district's commitment to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act and remove schools from school improvement, it is critical for instructional time to be used wisely. Therefore, field trips will be limited to two (2) field trips per classroom on the elementary schools. Both elementary and secondary principals will submit a quarterly field trip report that will be monitored by the Associate Superintendents. No field trips should be approved during the week of any testing and after May 15th of each year unless approved by the Associate Superintendent for Elementary or Secondary Schools. 5. Since no funds have been centrally budgeted for field trips, each school is responsible for the funding of field trips, with the exception of those field trips, which are financed through special programs or curricular departments. 6. A supply of the Request for Educational Field Trip and the Field Trip Permission forms is available from the Supply Center by requisition . 7. Principals are to thoroughly check all field-trip requests forms to ensure that the required information is complete and correct prior to signing. Principals will be accountable for ensuring that all submitted field trip forms are complete and accurate and that all directives pertaining to field trips are followed. Prior to the field trip, the principal should submit a copy of each field trip form to the appropriate Associate Superintendent. 8. Written parental approval must be given in order for a student to be allowed to participate in a field trip. All documents involving parental approval must be kept on file at the school until the end of the academic year. 9. The Procurement Department will publish a list of approved charter bus companies and reminders of the timeline for requisitions. A purchase requisition must be completed if a charter bus will be the mode of transportation employed. 4 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) 10. For trips out of the city, a seat assignment list is required. Students should be in their assigned seats during all travel time. 11. An employee of the District must be designated as the emergency contact person for any field trip, which is in progress before or after school hours. The teacher/ administrator conducting the field trip must have the phone number of this emergency contact person. The emergency contact person must have a copy of the field trip list and remain available until all students are returned to the school or their home. The teacher/administrator conducting the field trip and the principal must also have a copy of the list during the field trip. The teacher/administrator who is conducting the field trip will notify the emergency contact person when all students have been returned safely to school or to their homes. 12. If a charter bus is used for transporting students:  The vendor must be on the approved Procurement list.  Insurance certificates for approved charter bus companies are kept on file at Procurement.  Schools are to prepare a requisition, attach a copy of the Request for Educational Field Trip form, and forward to Procurement for purchase order processing.  All payments for charter buses will be via purchase orders. 13. If a private vehicle is used for the transportation of students:  Parents must give permission for their child to ride in a private vehicle.  Proof of insurance must be obtained. Such verification will be kept on file for the duration of the academic year. (A photocopy of the vehicle operator's insurance card showing current coverage will suffice.) The vehicle used for the trip and its driver must have the State's required Arkansas minimum automobile liability insurance coverage.  A seat belt must be available for every passenger and the driver.  The driver must be at least 21 years of age. 14.An appropriate number of chaperones will be secured to ensure student safety and to maintain proper discipline of the students. This ratio will vary by grade level and by the nature of the field trip. 5 !X' (\") 0 z -i ~ (\") ~ m (\") ::r: en m ~\n:\n.f.l,\no 0.. , m ~ 0 0 z ~ 0 z \u0026lt;:I C\u0026gt; ~ z .-.i,\no .0. , 0 en )\u0026gt; r- .\n.i,- ~ m::r:\noc en\n: 0 )\u0026gt; zz ~~ r- en no :cc )\u0026gt;\no Z(\") c, m men en LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) Additional Considerations State law and issues of liability will be considered in planning and implementing field trips, whether curricular or for athletic events in which private vehicles are utilized. Conditions for the Use of District Vehicles 1. The District can provide transportation for field trips and activities if such field trips or activities are between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1 :30 p.m. during the school day. Saturday and after-school-hour activities must be arranged via the Educational Field Trip Request form. LRSD buses will normally not be available for field trips on Sunday. 2. Arrangements for transportation for regularly-scheduled athletic events will be made with Laidlaw Transportation regarding the number of buses needed and the time when they are needed. 3. No stops will be made for the purpose of feeding students lunch unless previously requested on the Request for Educational Field Trip form. Financial Procedures for Field Trips When Using a LRSD (Laidlaw) Bus 1. Schools must identify the budget account(s) to charge for buses on the Request for Educational Field Trip form when LRSD bus or Laidlaw Transportation is used. If the cost is being split between several schools, all codes must be listed along with the percent allocation to each school. If no account(s) is provided, the request will not be approved and the form will be returned to the school. 2. Once the trip occurs, Laidlaw will bill the LRSD, and the Business Office will subsequently charge the cost of expenses to the budget code(s) provided on the Request for Educational Field Trip form. The Business Office will pay Laidlaw directly for the trip. 3. A copy of the paid invoice will be sent to the principal/department head that has control over the budget code(s) listed. This copy will be the notification of the amount(s) charged to the budget. 6 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: IJOA-R (continued) Third-Party Funders of Field Trips 1. If a third party is paying for the field trip (PTA, etc.), schools must still provide the school budget code on the form. The school budget will be charged, and the school will then be responsible for collecting the amount due from the third party. When this amount is collected, the school must forward the check to the Business Office with instructions on which account(s) to credit. 2. The contract rate with Laidlaw for the year will apply. The time for rate calculations will be from the time the bus arrives at the school until the time the bus returns to be billed in 15-minute intervals. 3. If after a trip the principal/teacher has concerns about the service provided, the principal should call the LRSD liaison with Laidlaw who will then work with Laidlaw to resolve the issues and make necessary adjustments to the invoice. Once the school receives the copy of the Laidlaw invoice, the amount will have already been deducted from the budget code provided on the Request for Educational Field Trip form. Activity Fund When paying for buses using activity accounts, all of the regulations above apply, with the following exceptions: 1. The school should use the activity account code. 2. If a LRSD department is responsible (i.e ., Staff Development, Superintendent's Office), the form must be coded by the responsible department. 3. The school will receive a copy of the paid invoice showing the account code to be charged. 4. An Activity Fund Requisition must be completed and forwarded, along with a copy of the invoice to the Business Office.

This approach will provide a positive effect on the City's environment and ensure healthy places for students to learn and employees to work. The promotion of buildings that are environmentally responsible is at the forefront of planning for energy and resource conservation at the local, state and national levels. The District will join in this effort through planning, designing, constructing and operating District-owned buildings and facilities by utilizing sustainable design practices that will decrease the negative impact of building on the environment and occupant health while reducing operating and maintenance costs.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Contract Extension for Technology Services BACKGROUND: After the successful millage election in May 2000, the District began contracting for technology services for the development and implementation of the LRSD Technology Plan. In the beginning two consulting firms were under contract: ATS\u0026amp;R to address the physical infrastructure and EDS to work with District staff to create and implement a new technology plan. As technology projects have been completed, contracts for technology services have been reduced as shown in the chart below. The current District contract with Education Innovations - Sharon Dowdy which began in 2004 expired on June 30, 2005. Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Budget 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Total EDS 349,849 840,000 840,000 203,419 2,233,268 ATS\u0026amp;R 255,619 255,619 Education Innovations 77,937 79,500 157,437 605,468 840,000 840,000 203,419 77,937 79,500 2,646,324 RATIONALE: Discussions during last year's contract presentation process indicated that 2004-2005 could be the last year this service would be needed by the District. Several major events have caused a re-evaluation of our previous position. 1. Three of our most critical technology related contracts end either at 6/30/06 or 6/30/07 at which time new RFPs will have to be developed and responses evaluated. :.n., z )\u0026gt; z n \u0026gt;,... ::0 .m., 0 ~ ?\u0026lt; n 5 en z C'l ::0 m 3: )\u0026gt; ::0 .f.l, ::0 0.. , m ~ C 0 z ~ 0z 3: )\u0026gt; m m ,~... m !::I C'l ~ ..z.. ., ::0 0.. , 0 ,~... Those contracts include our wide area network lease\nlocal, long distance, and cellular phone service\nand telephone system maintenance. 2. Federal E-Rate processes and procedures are continually becoming more complex, making the securing of funds a much more technical and time consuming process. 3. The evaluation and implementation of an automated agenda management system is scheduled to begin in August 2005. Other factors that also should be considered: 1. Cost/Benefit The cost of entering into this contract is far outweighed by the amount of revenue received from E-Rate funds each year. Since the District began using a consultant to assist with E-Rate filings for 2001-2002, the amount of revenue funded for E-Rate projects has been over $ 1 million annually. The chart below shows the District's funding received since the inception of the program in 1998: E-Rate Funds Received Total E-Rate Funded 1998-2001 627,120 2001-2002 2,777,603 2002-2003 1,264,968 2003-2004 3,075,463 2004-2005 1,385,105 Total E-Rate Funded 2001 - 2005 8,503,139 2. Requests for Proposal (RFP) Writing technology-related RFPs requires a level of technical sophistication not currently required for routine operation of the District. A multi-million dollar telecommunications RFP must be developed and evaluated and contracts signed before E-Rate applications can be filed in January 2006. The current value of that contract is approximately $ 1.8 million annually. Other technology-related projects arise each year that are one-time projects requiring technical assistance. For example, during 2004-05 Ms. Dowdy helped write and evaluate the RFP for webbased access to student grades (Edline) and assisted in writing the RFP for online Board agenda software as well as conducting reference checks on potential vendors. The evaluation phase of the online agenda RFP is scheduled for August.  Future projects under consideration that will require outside technical assistance are:  District-wide document management system  Textbook inventory software  Applicant tracking  Centralized library management system  Expansion of media retrieval systems These potential projects, if funded, will require assistance in research and writing of technical specifications, conducting technical pre-bid conferences, coordinating vendor presentations, conducting reference checks, and conducting project coordination meetings. 3. Project Management For the most part, implementation of E-Rate projects is handled by LRSD staff. However, in some cases where a different level of technical expertise is required, the services of an independent project manager are needed. A current example would be the remaining two (2) complete Safari installations and final review and sign-off for six (6) more. To meet E-rate requirements those installations must be complete by September 30. We have also been funded for smaller video systems at four elementary schools that will be installed this year. 4. Current Staff Impact A portion of the work done by Education Innovations is of a technical nature requiring expertise that is not available in the District, while some components of the work could be done by District staff in Computer Information Services and Instructional Technology. However, a change of this magnitude will negatively impact the District's resources that are currently being focused on the support of our technology needs. The current staffing levels and responsibilities of the two departments impacted by this contract are outlined below. Computer Information Services Current staff: Director, 1 Operations Manager, 3 Operations Specialists (AS/400), 5 Applications Specialists, 1 Help Desk Specialist, 1 Systems Engineer (servers), 1 System Engineer (desktop), 1 Training Coordinator, 9 Computer Technicians, 1 Telephone Technician and .5 Secretary. This staff is responsible for:  Coordination and support of CIMS software running on IBM AS/400 system. All major hardware and software issues are escalated to the IT Director.  Coordination and support of data interface integration of electronic gradebook and web-based grade access for parents.
