PURPOSE OF THE MEETING The special meeting was called for the purpose of reviewing a tax increment financing (TIF) proposal for southwest Little Rock. SPECIAL BOARD MEETING March 13, 2003 Page2 Ill. ACTION Southwest Little Rock TIF Proposal Dr. James provided a brief written summary of the Southwest Little Rock TIF proposal and recommended that the Board give conditional and tentative approval to the project as presented. As specified in the Superintendent's summary, the scope of any TIF should be: project specific, short term, limited to an area in need of redevelopment, ensure that the project is narrow in scope, guarantee a financial impact analysis and that all parties are at the discussion table, and guarantee an immediate and positive financial impact on the Little Rock School District. The area under consideration is approximately 176 acres in southwest Little Rock. 20+ acres will be developed into \"Outdoor World,\" and a hotel is to be built during year 2. Under the terms of the proposal, the property is to be fully developed in eight years, and taxes will increase by an amount equal to inflation. Dr. James noted that the proposal meets the District's conditional requirements, and that the LRSD would begin sharing in the revenue after the first three years. Mr. Tommy Hodges, with Otter Creek Land Company, was present at the meeting and offered to respond to any questions from the Board. Mr. Kurrus made a motion in favor of conditional and tentative approval of the proposed TIF district in southwest Little Rock as submitted. Mr. Rose seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Dr. James noted that the City of Little Rock Board has scheduled additional discussion on this issue at their April 1 meeting. A final review of all details and documents will be provided to our Board once they become available. Board members stressed the importance of taking each TIF project or proposal and reviewing them on their own merits. It is not to be perceived that we would set a precedent by giving unconditional or blanket approval of tax increment financing. IV.

EMPLOYEE HEARINGS Mr. Berkley moved to convene an executive session for the purpose of conducting an employee hearing. Dr. Mitchell seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. The hearing convened at 8:00 p.m. Beverly Williams presented evidence on behalf of the District for the recommended termination of Darlene Kelley. Ann Mangan, principal of Rockefeller Elementary School was also present. Ms. Williams briefly explained the differences between a recommendation for termination, and the alternative \"non-renewal.\" Non-renewal would allow the teacher to remain in the classroom for the remainder of the school year, and termination would allow immediate removal from the classroom, and replacement with a qualified teacher. Darlene Kelley was in her first year as a teacher at Rockefeller Elementary School. She previously taught at the Charter School at Badgett and in the North Little Rock School District. The administration's recommendation for termination was based on unsatisfactory performance in the areas of planning and preparation, classroom environment, and instruction. Ms. Mangan presented all due process documentation and copies of evaluation instruments dated from September 2002 through April 2003. In addition, Ms. Mangan testified that she had offered the assistance of Judy Meier and Kris Huffman, mentor teachers and curriculum specialists for Ms. Kelley to allow her to utilize their expertise to improve in her classroom instructional performance. Ms. Meier and Ms. Huffman were available to testify, but were not called to do so due to the limited time set aside for the hearing. REGULAR BOARD MEETING April 24, 2003 Page 12 Ms. Williams reviewed the numerous documents provided for the Board's review and highlighted those that substantiated the administration's reasons for recommending termination. It was noted that Ms. Mangan had never before recommended a teacher for termination in her 16 years as principal of Rockefeller. The areas of greatest concern were noted as: Ms. Kelley's failure to avail herself of instructional assistance\nfailure to keep proper and accurate student records\nand inaccuracies from interim report to report cards. Ms. Kelley began her testimony by reading a prepared statement. She stated that she had been in education for twenty-six years, and that it was her belief that her civil and professional rights were violated by this action. She provided a copy of a notebook containing copies of student work and grading documents for the Board's review. Ms. Kelley further testified that her students were reading at the appropriate grade level and that they had read \"over 800 books\" during one nine-week period. Ms. Kelley enumerated several medical problems that led to excessive absenteeism, and stated that she had been under a lot of stress due to the recent illness of her daughter. She told the Board that her husband was present as a witness to her health problems. Mr. Rose stated, and the Board agreed by consensus, that they accepted her word and did not require testimony to the fact that she had suffered medical problems. In addition, Ms. Kelley stated that problems with her computer at school were the reason that she was unable to keep accurate grade reports. She felt that she had been reprimanded unfairly, and that the PN agreement had been violated. In closing remarks, Ms. Williams noted the number of documents provided for the Board's review, and stated that due process had been followed. The Superintendent asked the Board to uphold the recommendation for termination. The Board adjourned for deliberations at 9:40 p.m. They returned at 9:50 p.m. and reported that no action had been taken in closed session. Mr. Berkley made a motion to uphold the Superintendent's recommendation for termination. Ms. Strickland seconded the motion and it carried 5-0-1, with Dr. Mitchell abstaining from the vote.

TEST VALIDATION A. Using a collaborative approach , the ADE will select and contract with an independent bias review service or expert to evaluate the Stanford 8, or other monitoring instruments used to measure disparities in academic achievement between black students and white students. 1. Projected Ending Date March, 1995 2. Actual as of January 31, 2003 On March 29, 1995, letters were sent to four national experts about conducting a test bias validation of the Stanford Achievement Test, Eighth Edition, Form K (SAT-8). Dr. Paul Williams, Deputy Director of Educational Testing Service (ETS), contacted the ADE in April of 1995 concerning the proposal for validating the SAT-8 test. The ADE requested that Dr. Williams conduct a validity study of test items used in the SAT-8. Dr. Williams submitted a final proposal for his services. The ADE Bias Review Test Committee met Friday, July 7, 1995, and approved Dr. William's contract proposal. The final contract was forwarded to Dr. Williams for his signature. The contract was signed in August 1995, thereby, completing this goal. B. By April 1994, establish a bias review committee to oversee the bias review process, and invite representatives of the Districts and parties to meet with the bias review committee. 1 . Projected Ending Date Ongoing 2. Actual as of January 31, 2003 Complete. ADE established a Bias Review Committee in April 1994.

Projected Ending Date March 1995 and ongoing 56 VII. TEST VALIDATION (Continued) C. Upon completion of test validation procedures by the bias review service or expert, the ADE will adopt and use a validated test as a monitoring instrument. (Continued) 2. Actual as of January 31 , 2003 Dr. Paul Williams met with the staff of the Psychological Corporation to review their methods and procedures. In August 1995, he met with the staff at Georgia State University to review the statistical methods that would be used in the analysis. Dr. Williams reported difficulty with the bias-review study in receiving the names of the bias panel and the complete SAT-8 data set from the Psychological Corporation. Dr. Williams submitted an invoice totaling $8,961 for Task I activities of the SAT-8 validity study for partial fulfillment of the test validation study. On December 6, 1995, a contract extension for Dr. Williams was reviewed by the Legislative Council. In January 1996, he indicated that he was in the final stages of the test validation, and the ADE was presented a draft report in March 1996. In May 1996, Dr. Williams stated that the wrong data sets were sent to him by the Psychological Corporation resulting in Task 3 having to be redone. A new draft of the final report was received by the ADE in July 1996. In August 1996, copies of the test validation report were provided to the State Board of Education and the ADE administrative team for their review. On September 10, 1996, the LRSD notified the ADE that they had reviewed the test validation report and would like to meet with the ADE to discuss the report. The ADE Director indicated that he would schedule a meeting with the LRSD to discuss the report. In October 1996, historical files and data were provided to the ADE Director, the ADE Assistant Director for Technical Services, and the ADE Assistant Director for Planning and Curriculum for their review in preparation for a meeting with the LRSD regarding the validity study. Test validation procedures by the expert have been completed. A recommendation was drafted proposing the use of the SAT-8 by the ADE as the validated test for monitoring. The ADE is presently working to arrange a meeting with the Administration of the LRSD to discuss the test validation study. Effective September 22, 1997, the State Board of Education hired a new Director of the General Education Division, which should allow the ADE to move forward in this matter. 57 VII. TEST VALIDATION (Continued) C. Upon completion of test validation procedures by the bias review service or expert, the ADE will adopt and use a validated test as a monitoring instrument. (Continued) 2. Actual as of January 31, 2003 (Continued) In October 1997, the GED Director was updated on the history of the test validation process to provide the Director with background information in preparation for a meeting with the LRSD. In February 1998, ADE staff met with senior staff members to discuss the test validation and appropriate test scores for consideration by the LRSD. The ADE Director met with the Superintendent of the LRSD to discuss test validation issues. In June 1998, the ADE Director directed the Assistant Director for Accountability to recommend staff to discuss how the ADE would measure LRSD's progress toward meeting the loan forgiveness thresholds of the Settlement Agreement. Plans were made to meet with the staff Tuesday, June 30, 1998. The Test Validation Committee met on June 30, 1998, and discussed the following: 1. The appropriateness of the use of scaled scores on the SA T-8 test as the metric for assessing LRSD compliance with the loan forgiveness provisions of the Settlement Agreement\nand 2. The need for an independent analysis of LRSD students' test scores to determine compliance or noncompliance with loan forgiveness standard, and who would bear the cost of such an independent analysis. The Test Validation Committee met on September 10, 1998, to review recent correspondence from LRSD and to further discuss issues related to the loan forgiveness provisions of the Settlement Agreement. A follow-up administrative meeting was held on October 13, 1998, to discuss issues related to the test validation process. Participants included Tim Gauger, Assistant Attorney General, Dr. Charity Smith, Lead Planner for Desegregation, and Frank Anthony, Assistant Director for Accountability. A meeting was scheduled with Dr. Les Carnine, LRSD Superintendent and Mr. Ray Simon, ADE Director, regarding Test Validation and loan forgiveness provisions of the Settlement Agreement on May 12, 1999. 58 VII. TEST VALIDATION (Continued) C. Upon completion of test validation procedures by the bias review service or expert, the ADE will adopt and use a validated test as a monitoring instrument. (Continued) 2. Actual as of January 31, 2003 (Continued) On June 14, 1999, the State Board of Education was briefed on the status of LRSD's refusal to make principal and interest payments into escrow as required by the loan provisions of the Settlement Agreement and related documents. The Board requested that a draft motion to enforce the Settlement Agreement be prepared and submitted to the Board for review and discussion at the Board's next regularly scheduled meeting On July 12, 1999, the State Board of Education authorized the filing of a motion to compel LRSD to make interest and principal payments into escrow pursuant to the loan provisions of the Settlement Agreement. The State Board of Education instructed the Attorney General's Office to file a motion by March 1, 2000 if a determination is made that the LRSD is not in compliance with Section 6 B of the Pulaski County Settlement Agreement regarding the establishment and funding of the escrow account in the loan provision section. On May 8, 2000, the Assistant Director of Accountability was directed by the Director of Education to contact Harcourt Brace Educational Measurement Company about the possibility of conducting a research study on the standardized test composite scores from 1990 through 1999 of LRSD (excluding special education students). The Test Selection Committee met on May 23, 2000, at the ADE and discussed ways to measure LRSD's progress toward meeting the loan forgiveness threshold of the Pulaski County Settlement Agreement. An update on the progress with Harcourt Brace was made at that time. Harcourt Brace has been contacted about conducting an initial research report on LRSD's progress toward meeting the loan forgiveness threshold of the settlement agreement. This report will review all composite scores since 1990 of LRSD's black and white students (excluding special education students). The purpose of the report is to determine if at any time from Spring 1990 to Fall 1999 did the composite scores of LRSD's black students (excluding special education students) reach 90% or greater of the composite scores of LRSD's white students (excluding special education students) on the State mandated norm-referenced test. Company representatives will advise the ADE of the cost and feasibility of producing the report by May 31 , 2000. If the report indicates that LRSD has not meet the loan forgiveness requirements of the Pulaski County Settlement Agreement, an additional analysis of the Fall 2000 standardized tests results will be made. 59 VII.

(Continued) 2. Actual as of January 31 , 2003 (Continued) Harcourt Brace indicated that they would be able to provide the data, but indicated that analysis of the data should be done by an independent consultant. The search for an independent consultant has been undertaken. On February 12, 2001 , the ADE Director provided the State Board of Education with a special update on desegregation activities. 60 VIII.
