Thomas Ray All Counsel of Record Cordially yours, WRIGHT, LINDSEY \u0026amp; JENNINGS LLP ~ IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT V. NO. 4:82CV00866WRW ):\u0026gt;ULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL. MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. SUPPLEMENT TO PCSSD MOTION OF OCTOBER 22, 2002 FOR APPROVAL OF MIDDLE SCHOOL SITE The PCS SD for: its supplement to motion, states: RECEIVED FEB - 5 2003 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS The Court has posed certain questions to the parties in this case regarding issues associated with the proposed new middle school. The numbered paragraphs set forth below correspond to the Court's letter of January 28, 2003. At the outset, it is instructive to note that what the District's desegregation plan states with respect to a middle school in Maumelle is simply that: An elementary school, located around 145th Street, and a middle school or junior high school in the Crystal Hill\\Maumelle area will be built. Exhibit A reflects updated student population data gleaned both from census data and enrollment record. 395608-vl 1. As a starting point, it should be recalled that the M-to-M stipulation, adopted as an order of this Court, presumes that transferring children entering the receiving district at one organizational level will continue their education at the next available organizational level and will be encouraged to do so. Hence, pursuant to the M-to-M stipulation, it is presumed that LRSD transferring students who have elected to attend Crystal Hill, Pine Forrest and Oak Grove elementary schools will continue their education in the receiving district at the next organizational level, particularly when interdistrict schools are available to them. Accordingly, as explained in its October motion, the PCSSD looks first to the number of transferring LRSD students currently attending the three elementary schools in PCSSD which would feed the Maumelle middle school. 79 of those students currently attend Oak Grove Junior High, a rather significant number given that the new middle school was - conceived to replace the overcrowded Oak Grove facility which offers no special inducements for interdistrict transfer. It should also be noted that Sylvan Hills Middle School no longer has the capacity to accommodate all 6th grade M-to-M students who attended Clinton lnterdistrict School through the 5th grade. The seats proposed for reservation at the new Maumelle school are not limited to Little Rock students but include eligible students from North Little Rock as well. For instance, of the 79 students referred to in Paragraph 1, 26 of those students are from North Little Rock. Further, the principal junior high magnet school in Little Rock, Mann, is both being rebuilt and historically has never had sufficient room to house all Little Rock black students seeking education at a magnet junior high or middle school. 395608-vl 2 2. Both. Little Rock currently takes the laboring oar in educating students in the LRSD about the opportunities at Crystal Hill. Most of the student body from Little Rock at Crystal Hill represents those students who were unable to gain entry to Gibbs, Booker, Williams or Rockefeller and who elected to come to Crystal Hill. Obviously, since the PCSSD hosts those students for several years, including some who currently enter as pre-K students and leave currently as sixth grade students, the PCSSD has a daily audience of 400 Little Rock M-to-M students and frequent contact with their parents and guardians sufficient to sustain \"on-going\" recruitment for the middle school from the time these children enter Crystal Hill. Thus, while the PCSSD will continue to rely upon the LRSD to initially encourage children to attend Crystal Hill, the PCSSD will assume principal responsibility for convincing those children to continue, consistent with the M-to-M stipulation, their education at the Maumelle - middle school. 3. Please see response to question no. 2. Also, efforts will be made to recruit M-to- M students attending Crystal Hill, Oak Grove, Pine Forest, Clinton elementary schools, and Oak Grove Junior High School (7m grade). Parents of 4m, sm, and 6m grade LRSD M-to-M students attending Crystal Hill, Oak Grove, and Pine Forest, 4m and 5m grade Clinton M-to-M students, and 7m grade M-to-M students attending Oak Grove Junior High School will be informed of the District's intent to build a middle school at the proposed Maumelle site. The District's website will provide information to parents from the three Districts about the plans and progress of the proposed middle school. Parents and teachers will be surveyed to identify needs, concerns, and expectations. Data from the parent and teacher surveys will allow input from the District's internal and external publics into the planning and implementation process 395608-vl 3 at the proposed middle school. Parents of 4 m and 5m grade African American students in LRSD and NLRSD will also receive information about the proposed middle school in the Maumelle area. The Magnet Review Committee will also assist with recruitment. 4. The LRSD personnel primarily responsible for recruitment and assignment to stipulation magnet schools will continue to be those persons principally responsible for educating LRSD children regarding Crystal Hill. Once the children reach Crystal Hill (as well as Pine Forrest and Oak Grove elementaries), the teachers and counselors who work in those buildings will have principal responsibility for discussing the middle school with children and their parents and guardians. The Department of Equity and Pupil Services and the Student Assignment Office will work with LRSD, NLRSD, and Magnet Review Committee personnel to recruit African American students for the proposed middle school. 5. Yes. 6. Yes. 7. A parent/teacher committee drawn from the existing Maumelle middle school facility committee has been formed to evaluate and recommend unique and attractive programs to attract M-to-M students. A representative from Joshua will be invited to participate. This Committee will be asked to evaluate and recommend unique and attractive programs with, as a starting point, evaluating whether the current program at Crystal Hill Elementary School should be extended to the middle school. This program emphasizes communications with an emphasis upon technology and basic skills. 8. The PCSSD will essentially follow the middle school plan previously developed and presented to Judge Wright with appropriate refinements and additions. The final middle 395608-vl 4 school plan was approved by this Court on June 4, 2001. It had previously approved the conversion of the Jacksonville Junior High Schools to middle schools. By 2003-2004, the PCSSD will be in its 5th year of operating middle schools and Maumelle would be the last to be implemented. 395608-vl Respectfully submitted, WRIGHT, LINDSEY \u0026amp; JENNINGS LLP 200 West Capitol Avenue, Suite 2300 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-3699 (501) 371-0808 FAX: (501) 376-9442 ue~ Jones III (76060) A~neys for Pulaski Cou~ S ool Districy - ------- 5 pecial CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE On February 4, 2003 , a copy of the foregoing was served via U.S. mail on each of the following: Mr. John W.

How do LRSD and PCS SD propose to ascertain that level of interest? 1. Yes. The LRSD agrees with PCS SD that it is reasonable to judge the prospective interest of its students in transferring to a new Maumelle Middle School based on the number of LRSD students currently attending the elementary schools that will feed the new Maumelle Middle School, the number of those students that traditionally continue in the PCS SD system following elementary school and attend Oak Grove Junior High and the number ofLRSD students who choose for the first time to transfer to the PCSSD for junior high/middle school. Question: Will PCSSD, LRSD, or both school districts assume responsibility for student recruitment? 2. Both. The LRSD has traditionally initiated most M-to-M transfers of LRSD students to the PCSSD. Once they are in the PCSSD system, the PCSSD has assumed responsibility for keeping them as they move to the next organizational level. The LRSD does - not intend to in any way to guarantee to fill any number of seats reserved for M-to-M transfers by the PCSSD. Question: What are the details of and timeline for the recruitment plan? 3. LRSD students are provided information annually about M-to-M transfer opportunities. The LRSD's two parent recruiters provide parents with their M-to-M options when LRSD parents are seeking information at the LRSD's Student Registration Office. They may also take LRSD parents on tours of PCS SD schools eligible to accept an M-to-M transfer. Question: What persons and resources will be assigned to M-to-M recruitment? 4. See Response to Question No. 3. The LRSD expends these resources promoting M-to-M transfers by LRSD students even though the \"Pooling Agreement\" (Settlement Agreement, Section II, paragraph 0) as interpreted by the District Court creates a financial disincentive for the LRSD to undertake these activities. Question: Will LRSD give PCS SD recruiters full access to students and parents through - LRSD schools? 5. Yes. Question: Will transportation provided by LRSD be adequate to facilitate the transfer of students? 6. Yes, for as long as it is paid for by the State of Arkansas. Question: What unique, attractive programs will PCSSD put in place at the Maumelle school to attract M-to-M students from LRSD? 7. The LRSD defers to the PCSSD's response to this question. Question: What steps will PCSSD take to ensure that the Maumelle school reflects the \"middle school concept\" in terms of facility design, academic programs, and staffing? 8. The LRSD defers to the PCSSD's response to this question. 2 Respectfully Submitted, LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT FRIDAY, ELDREDGE \u0026amp; CLARK Christopher Heller (#81083) John C.

FEB - 5 2003 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING INTERVENORS INTERVENORS NLRSD STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL IN MAUMELLE The North Little Rock School District has a significant number of African-American students attending school in the Pulaski County School District, particularly at the Oak Grove Junior and Senior High Schools. It is our understanding that, upon completion of a middle school in Maumelle, the Oak Grove facility will be reconfigured as a grade 9 - 12 high school and that the middle school will replace the remaining grades currently in the Oak Grove Junior High School. The creation of a middle school in Maumelle will extend the educational opportunities and choices presently available to the North Little Rock School District African-American children through majority-to-minority transfers. Past experience has shown that a new facility is a substantial factor in attracting students. We would expect this to hold true in this instance as well. Therefore, the North Little Rock School District believes the construction of a new middle school in Maumelle would enhance the attractiveness of the PCSSD District attractive to North Little Rock School District African American students.

PCSSD'S MOTION RE PORTABLE BUILDING AT SYLVAN HILLS MIDDLE SCHOOL The PCS SD for its motion, states: RECEIVED FEB 1 2 2003 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS 1. The band room at Sylvan Hills Middle School is periodically plagued with standing water. The PCSSD believes that this problem can be remedied during the summer when school is out. 2. In the meantime, the PCSSD desires permission to lease a portable building for use as a temporary band room until the end of the current school year. 3. The PCS SD does not believe there is actually anything within the four comers of Plan 2000 requiring that this matter be presented to the Court. However, under the predecessor plan, the PCSSD pledged to eliminate portable buildings and to replace them with permanent construction. It did so. 4. Accordingly, lest any person question the current motives of the PCSSD, it seeks an order of this Court granting it permission to lease a portable building for use as a 397582-v1 band room until the end of this school year. Such a lease will not constitute an expansion of the capacity of Sylvan Hills Middle School. 5. Personnel from the PCS SD have made contact with representatives of the other parties in this case and undersigned counsel is therefore authorized to state that no party has voiced an objection to the relief sought in this motion. WHEREFORE, PCSSD prays for an order granting it permission to lease a portable building at Sylvan Hills Middle School for use as a temporary band room until the conclusion of the current school year and for all proper relief. 397582-vl Respectfully submitted, WRIGHT, LINDSEY \u0026amp; JENNINGS LLP 200 West Capitol Avenue, Suite 2300 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-3699 (501) 371-0808 FAX: (501) 376-9442 Special 2 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE On February 12, 2003, a copy of the foregoing was served via U.S. mail on each of the following: Mr. John W.

Kenneth James, Superintendent of Schools PREPARED BY: ,,\nN3onnie A. Lesley, Associate Superintendent for Instruction DATE: February 27, 2003 SUBJECT: Elementary Summer School Program Evaluation Background Information on the Elementary Summer School Program Evaluation One in the group of programs required by the federal court to be evaluated with the participation of an external evaluator was the Elementary Summer School program. In 1998 the State discontinued funding for the elementary summer school program, which had been mandatory for identified students in grades K-3 during 1993-1997. During those years the District also offered a tuition-funded program for students in grades 4-6, providing approximately 25 days of extended instruction with an emphasis on reading and mathematics. Effective 1998, the District continued the funding for grades K-3, and grades 4-5 students had the option of attending a tuition program. (Grade 6 moved to middle school in fall 1999.) The K-3 program changed the emphasis from reading and mathematics to a focus on reading and writing, and instruction was patterned after the District's comprehensive early literacy program in Prek-3. Steps Taken as a Result of the Program Evaluation The Elementary Summer School program was abandoned after summer 2 001. This decision was made based on the analysis of data by District staff from the summer 2000 and summer 2001 programs and on the desire of elementary principals to provide their own school-based remedial programs throughout the year, instead of during the summer. They saw the summer intervention as being too late to impact achievement scores and too late to impact the initial retention decisions. The funds, approximately $250,000 annually, previously allocated for K-3 summer school are now divided among the elementary schools according to a formula based on the school's enrollment, achievement data, and the number of free/reduced lunch students. Each school submits a plan annually for the use of the funds, including goals, Board Memo February 27, 2003 Page Two strategies, assessments, and budget. Individual students at each school are identified for the program. Designation of External Consultant and His Qualifications On December 2, 2002, the District awarded the contract for the Elementary Summer School program evaluation to the firm, Quality Education and Management Associates, Inc., Dr. Larry McNeal, president. A copy of his resume is attached, establishing his qualifications. Administrator Participation in Conducting the Program Evaluation In addition to Dr. McNeal and his associates, the following LRSD administrators participated in the evaluation: Ms. Frances Cawthon Jones, Assistant Superintendent for Elementary School Services Dr. Ed Williams, Department of Planning, Research, and Evaluation Mr. Ken Savage, Department of Computer Information Systems Ms. Lillie Carter, Summer School Coordinator Summer 2000 Summer School administrators--Joyce Willingham, Eleanor Cox, Ada Keown, and Donna Hall Summer 2001 Summer School administrators-Joyce Willingham, Eleanor Cox, Ada Keown, and Les Taylor Teacher Participation in Conducting the Program Evaluation Elementary school-level test coordinators and teachers involved in administering the SAT-9 (grade 5), ALT (grades 2-5), ORA (grades K-2), Observation Surveys (grades K-2), and state Benchmark examinations (grade 4) Impact on African-American Student Achievement The external evaluator was not able to determine definitively from existing data whether the elementary summer school program resulted in improved achievement among African American students. The conclusion was that the \"program had mixed results.\" There was some growth among second- and third-grade students, but kindergarten and grade one students' performance \"maintained a similar level of achievement before and after the program.\" These findings were virtually identical to those concluded by the staff participating in the original study. Recommendation That the Board of Education approve the Elementary Summer School program evaluation for submission to the federal court. BAUadg DR.
