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.

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.

Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: April 2005 Construction Report - Bond Projects BACKGROUND: I am pleased to report that on May 25th bids are scheduled to be received for the renovation of Rightsell Elementary. Based on this schedule, the building will be ready for occupancy by staff and students for the 2006-07 school year. The construction contract for the seven-classroom addition at Gibbs has been awarded. The bids for this work were above our projected cost estimate. The low bid illustrates what is taking place in the construction industry. The rising costs of oil and metal is resulting in a construction cost increase of one percent (1 % ) per month. Experts predict this trend will continue because of the growing economies of China and India which are putting pressure on oil and metals markets. If you need additional information or have any questions, please call me at 44 7-1146. RATIONALE: Monthly reports are submitted to the Board to keep members up-to-date on construction projects in the District. FUNDING: Bond Funds RECOMMENDATION: Report item\nno action necessary.

DATE: April 28, 2005 LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Technology Report BACKGROUND: Since the last Board meeting the following technology activities took place:  The Edline project expanded to include all high schools this month. The first round of teacher training has been held for all high school sites, including Metropolitan Career and Technical Center. Parent training is ongoing.  The Dana wireless carts that were purchased as part of a EETT grant have been incorporated into instruction at the two sites that were part of the grant: Henderson Middle School and Southwest Middle School. Projects that students have been involved in include preparation for ACT AAP with students using the wireless devices to do practice tests and beam answers to the teacher. They also used them for writing responses and beaming them to the printer.  The District will undergo an audit this month by the Universal Service Administrative Corporation, the group that administers the E-rate Program. The audit will include a site visit by representatives of USAC who will examine District e-rate policies, procedures, and record keeping. They will also interview staff at selected sites that have received e-rate funding.

PREPARED BY: Lucy Neal, Director, Technology and Media Services John Ruffins, Director, Computer Information Services LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 DATE: TO: April 28, 2005 Board of Directors FROM: Roy G. Brooks, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Elimination of Sixth Grade Athletics BACKGROUND: The Little Rock School Districted implemented the sixth grade athletic program when the transition was made from junior high schools to middle schools. The LRSD is the only District in the state that provides athletics for sixth grade students. RATIONALE: The Arkansas Activities Association does not regulate athletic programs until students enter the seventh grade. The Arkansas Department of Education requires football, basketball and track coaches to have a coaching endorsement to their license, effective at the seventh grade, as governed by the AAA. No credentials, certification or training are currently required for an employee to be a sixth grade coach. This could present a liability issue for us in case of accident or serious injury. Elimination of the sixth grade athletic program would provide additional time for our students to focus on the academic aspects of the transition to middle school. Youth athletic programs in football, basketball and soccer are provided by the City of Little Rock, the local YMCA, Girls and Boys Clubs, and other organizations, and are scheduled outside the school day. FUNDING: This recommendation will save approximately $80,000\n$40,000 from coaching stipends and $40,000 from transportation.  RECOMMENDATION: I recommend board approval to eliminate the sixth grade athletic program.

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Fair Park Early Childhood Center BACKGROUND: During the past few months, the LRSD Early Childhood Department has met with individual district personnel, the Fair Park Early Childhood Center Planning Team and Advisory Committee. The result of those discussions is The Big Picture - Fair Park Early Childhood Center, which details the plan for converting the Fair Park Elementary School into a high quality and effective early childhood education center. RATIONALE: Research on the effectiveness of preschool education for increasing children's success in school has shifted the national and state agendas toward providing increased opportunities for preschool education. LRSD has been a leader in the state in providing quality preschool education on a first come, first serve basis. The conversion of Fair Park Elementary into an early childhood center will increase the availability of preschool programming so that more children in the District will have access to a quality preschool education. FUNDING: The Fair Park Early Childhood Center will be funded with District funds and Arkansas Better Chance for School Success (ABCSS) grant funds.

Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Request for Right of Way and Easements Geyer Springs Elementary School BACKGROUND: The City of Little Rock is in the process of acquiring the necessary rights of ways and temporary construction easements needed for the widening of Mabelvale Pike. To support this project, the City has requested a permanent right-of-way and two types of easements: a drainage easement and a temporary easement to allow construction-access along the new street and drainage system. The temporary construction easement will be filled and graded to conform to the adjacent area and returned to the Little Rock School District upon completion of the project. RATIONALE: The Little Rock School District has long supported the initiatives of the City of Little Rock in maintaining its streets and sidewalks. This right-ofway and easements are in line with the policies and practices that have prevailed in the past. FUNDING: The offer of $4,500 made to the Little Rock School District is based on a fair-market-value appraisal made by a qualified real estate appraiser and reviewed and approved by the Arkansas Highway Department. There are no expenditures expected on the part of the Little Rock School District. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board give the Administration approval to enter into this right-of-way and temporary construction easement.
