The Program Budget Document provides additional direction for quality, interim and summative decision-making for the district. The Program Budget Document is a monitoring instrument used by the Little Rock School District to assist with the planning and budgeting process. The PBD provides an overview of all district programs. This reporting method allows the district to monitor the performance and expenditures of each program and take corrective measures throughout the year rather than at the end of the year. The 1995-96 Second Quarter Status Report Program Budget Document for Desegregation Plan Program.s list achievements and expenditures occurring during the second quarter (October 1, 1995 - December 31, 1996). Several reporting practices should be noted as follows: The second quarters report consist of two volumes for desegregation program reporting: Volume I (Seq #s 1-18) and Volume 11 (Seq^s 19-82). 09A is the designated sequence number for reporting achievements by Principals, and 09B is the number relative to achievements of Central Office Administrators. Desegregation Monitoring Audits are conducted annually resulting in the inclusion of additional desegregation obligations in the Program Budget Document. The first desegregation audit was completed during the fourth quarter of the 1993-94 fiscal year. This years audit will be conducted according to schedule. All court orders, hearing transcripts, monitoring reports and stipulation.s will be reviewed. As a result of the ongoing audits and the refinement process some obligations and/or strategies have been deleted from the following programs: Four Year Old, Multicultural Curriculum, Library/Media, Educational Equity Monitoring, Commitment to Desegregation Leadership, VIPS Recruiting, Public Relations, Office of Incentive Schools, Incentive Schools Staffing, Office of Incentive School Academic Activities, Counseling and Social Work, School Policy and Procedures, Student Choices \u0026amp; Options, Office of Desegregation/Student Assignment, School Operations 9A, Tri-District Summer School, Facilities, Parent Involvement, Original Magnets, HIPPY and M-to-M Magnets. Programs that have been removed because all of their objectives and strategies were dropped from the PHD include: Bidding Practices, Rockefeller Early Childhood, Romine Interdistrict School, Computer Loan Program, Computer Lab Program, King Interdistrict School and Contingencies. 1 I IThe Second Quarter Status Report Program Planning and Budget Document for Desegregation Programs contains the following: (1) The Mission Statement of Little Rock School District\n(2) The Goals of Little Rock School District\n(3) LRSD Quarterly Desegregation Expenses Summary\n(4) Definitions and Data Elements\n(5) Organization of the Report\n(6) Program Budget Documents Grouped by Clusters\nand, (7) The LRSD Organizational Chart. 2LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Little Rock School District is to equip all students with the skills and knowledge to realize their aspirations, think critically and independently, learn continuously, and face the future as productive contributing citizens.

Program: A program is an established plan of operation, composed of a group or series of related activities which are carried out to serve a specific area of identified need. Program Description: A program description includes a purpose, scope and content, and participants/beneficiaries related to the respective program. Program Goal: A program goal is a broad guiding statement and should describe the overall aim(s), purpose(s), or ambition(s) of the specific program. Objectives: Program objectives present explicitly the desired impact the program should have on a problem. They should provide detail to the goals. Strategies: Strategies are the jobs, tasks, efforts, or actions undertaken in a program which contributes to the accomplishment of the objective. Achievements: Achievements are efforts, tasks, evidence, performance, or actions undertaken in a program which contributes to the accomplishment of the strategy. Achievements are placed in alpha order underneath the relative strategy. Evaluation Criteria: Evaluation criteria are statements which specify the end product of an objective or strategy and establish measurable and observable levels of performance of the product. Page: Each Program Budget Document uses one of two formatted pages. Program Sequence # (Seq. #): The purpose of this sequence number is to establish a reference for placing programs in order within the planning document. Revision Date: This date is the actual date the program document was first documented or last changed. Program Name: To eliminate confusion, an established name for each program has been assigned by the district planner. Program Code: This is a unique accounting code assigned by Financial Services which links budget and expenditure information to the associated program. 7Definitions and Data Elements (cont.) Primary Leader: The Primary Leader is the cabinet-level associate responsible for the management and operation of the respective program. Secondary Leader: The Secondary Leader is the associate who is back-up to the Primary and will function in that capacity in the absence of the Primary (i.e. the Program Manager or the Principal). District Goal Support: Each program directly supports at least one district goal. If more than one district goal is relative, then the appropriate district goals have been listed in descending priority order. 1 page references wiii direciiy die u.,e of the following desegregation documents\nL(LR) - LRSD DesegregatiorJ PJ\": = Settlement Agreement\nC(CO)= Court Orders\nT (HT) = Hearing Transcripts\nP(CP) = Court Pleadings\nM(MR) Monitoring 113-20 for example.

Pagination. Pages in the text are numbered using Arabic numerals. Pages are consecutively numbered at the bottom of the page beginning with the \"Preface.\" The \"Table of Contents\" is on page i, page ii, and page iii. Program areas are numbered according to their sequence number followed by the page number within that program (e.g., 02,5 refers to page 5 of the program with a sequence number of 02). Print. The report employs two kinds of print density. Bold Print denotes original language of the desegregation document(s). Lighter print enclosed in parentheses (parenthetical statements) identifies language that is not literal in the desegregation document(s). The parenthetical statements of lighter print have been integrated throughout the program budget documents for clarification of original language in the desegregation document(s) and/or for providing information generalized from the original language of the desegregation document(s). Parenthetical information should not be construed to mean new legal obligations nor expansion of the obligations under the desegregation document(s). Underlined Print. Underlined Print denotes additional desegregation obligations language which was inserted verbatim in the third quarter report of FY 93-94 as a result of the desegregation audit. 12/09/93 MR *. Denotes additional desegregation obligations language which was inserted as a result of the 1994-95 desegregation audit. Clusters. Programs have been sorted into broad categories called clusters. Clusters include programs or schools grouped together because of similar and related operational functions. For convenience and management of the report, similar programs have been grouped into six separating color-coded clusters. To locate a program, determine the relative cluster of the program by using the \"Table of Contents\" and then refer to the program sequence number (Seq #) or page number for facilitating program reference in the report. School Operations Program (09A and 09B). The School Operations program description warrants that both Principals and Central Office Administrators provide quality planning for students. Therefore, the School Operations Program is divided into two sections for reporting achievements by both Principals and Central Office Administrators. The sequence number for reporting by Principals (i.e., schools) is 09A, and the sequence number for reporting by Central Office Administrators is 09B. For the first reporting period, the inclusionary dates cited in the \"Beginning Date\" column and \"Completion Date\" 9Organization of the Report (continued) column are 07/01/95 and 06/30/96, respectively. These inclusionary dates represent the boundaries for the first quarter. The generic dates of 07/01/95 and 06/30/96 are used to uniform and conform reporting in the School Operations program budget documents. Specific date information relative to the achievements of Central Office Administrators follows each documented achievement. As a final note, the School Operations Program (09A) classifies the area, interdistrict, and magnet schools into three organizational levels: elementary, junior high, and senior high. Incentive Schools. The Incentive Schools cluster provides program reporting information for the following schools: Franklin, Garland, Rockefeller, Mitchell and Rightsell. Non-Monetary Tracking. No entry on page one in the fiscal year program budget field and/or the quarter expenditure field of a Program Budget Document means desegregation money has not been tracked to the respective program.

The district is bound to keep its pledge to double fund each incentive school for six years or as long as the school maintains an enrollment above 60% black District must also keep in mind that the incentive schools educate only a small portion of the class that prevailed in the desegregation lawsuit. Ensure that a portion of the incentive school ffjnding fulfills the plan's commitment that \"the children who are in racially-isolated settings are provided meaningful opportunities for desegregated experiences/activities.\" A. The incentive schools are being closely studied and monitored. 5.1 Junior and senior high school students may transfer to another school as long as the reassignment allows both the sending and receiving school to comply with the desegregation requirement and a seat is available. The minimum black percentage is 25 percent below the districtwide percentage of blacks in grades 7\u0026gt;12. The minimum and maximum black percentages constitute the desegregation requirement (for acceptable range) for a desegregation transfer. The desegregation requirements in secondary schools is that all schools will remain within a range of 12 1/2 percent above to 25 percent below the districtwide percentage of black students at each organizational level (i e.. high school and junior high school).

Pagination: Pages in the text are numbered using Arabic numerals. Pages are consecutively numbered at the bottom of the page beginning with the \"Preface.\" The \"Table of Contents\" is on page i. Program areas are numbered according to their sequence number followed by the page number within that program (e.g., 02,5 refers to page 5 of the program with a sequence number of 02). Clusters. Programs have been sorted into broad categories called clusters. Clusters include programs or schools grouped together because of similar and related operational functions. For convenience and management of this report, similar programs have been grouped into three color-coded clusters: Curriculum, School Operations, School Support. To locate a program, determine the relative cluster of the program by using the \"Table of Contents\" and then refer to the program sequence number (Seq tt) or page number for facilitating program reference in the report. Organizational Level. The School Operations Cluster employs only four programs. In addition to Athletics, the School Operations Cluster classifies the fifty schools according to three school organizational leveled programs: Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High. Organizational Chart. An organizational chart has been included to provide reference information matching designated responsible persons with desegregation and non-desegregation programs. 7CLUSTER BUDGET DOCUMENTS 8Curriculum Cluster * * * * * * 4 Year Old Program/City Wide Early Childhood Education Program Kindergarten Special Education Vocational Education Adult Education Compensatory Education Gifted and Talented Curriculum ServicesLRSD FY 95-96 PROGRAM BUDGET DOCUMENT Program Seq #: 201 Page: Revision Date: February 14, 1996 1 Program Name: Four-Year-Old Program/HIPPY Program Code: Primary Leader: Sterling Ingram Secondary Leader: Pat Price Program Description: The purpose of the program is to meet the growing needs of disadvantaged students and to improve the racial balance at schools that arc difficult to desegregate by incorporating Karly Childhood Education programs into the Elementary schools.

The second alternative was to add woodworking as a form of motivation. The third alternative was to do nothing. The fourth alternative was recommended. It involves the modification of the ALC curriculum to include remediation of academic and behavioral skill deficits in a programmatic way. Students would take a new course in behavior modification. The course would include skills in communication, advocacy, conflict resolution, decision making, impulse control, analysis of choices, healthy relationships, planning, and other skills for healthy living. An advisory program is also proposed wherein a closer relationship is developed between students and an adult on the staff. The third component of this alternative is to change the academic focus at the ALC from one of matriculation through the required curriculum to one of remediating core curriculum skill deficits sufficient to return to the regular program and be successful.

Costs associated with the recommendation will not exceed $12,000 during fiscal year 1995-96 and will not exceed $10,000 during fiscal year 1996-97. Costs are for staff development and supplies. All increases will be supported by the budget of the Assistant Supenntendent for Secondary Schools. Implementation will take place during spring and summer of 1996, with staff development in the fall of 1996. u II R A. BACKGROUND ^e ALC currently offers a junior high school program of study for students in the Little Rock School District who are not being successful academically or f combination thereof. The program is designed for a maximum of fifty (50) studentstwenty (20) each at grades seven and eight and ten (10) at grade nine. Students spend a minimum enrollment of nine weeks, or a maximum enrollment of the full academic year. Most students remain enrolled for one semester. There is a staff of seven (7) teachers, one (1) administrator, one (1) counselor, three (3) instructional aides, and three (3) security personnel. Support personnel include one (1) secretary, one (1) food service work, and two (2) custodians. Students are in class six sessions daily. Courses include English, math. science, social studies, computers, and health/PE. Teachers teach five classes daily navp on/* t-t____ and have one planning period daily. There education. IS one class of self-contained special H n n H R H Of concern is the lack of a planned programmatic behavior modification component to the curriculum that addresses the behavioral issues that lead to the exclusion of the current students from the regular school. Currently, the only behavior modification component in place is punitive, resulting in isolation from H peers in an in-school suspension or suspension from school. 11 B. PROBLEM DEFINITION Because there is no programmatic behavior modification program in place at the ALC, there is no consistent address to modify the negative behaviors exhibited by the students enrolled there. This condition leads to the hardening of negative beha\\qor patterns through repetition of those behaviors and the modeling of new negative behaviors learned by ones peers after being assigned to the ALC. This combination manifests itself in the furtherance of aggressive and anti-social -2- 11 11 11 n nI n I I I behaviors by students throughout their enrollment at the ALC. Punishment is rarely a deterrent to misbehavior, resulting in little positive behavioral changes. Several incidents such as fighting, group assaults, use of profanity, and gang association are reported by students at the ALC. Principals report that few students returning from the ALC have demonstrated changed behavioral patterns after returning to the regular school from the ALC. Most who return are also academically behind their peers upon re-enrolling in the regular school. If students are neither behaviorally or academically remediated while at the ALC, the worth of the time spent in the program is questioned. \u0026gt;t3 |i I'l VI w I I ^1 I The focus of the program must be changed to provide procedures to remediate core curriculum skills and behavioral skills of the students at the ALC. I C. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES I I The alternatives discussed herein came from the extended evaluation written for the ALC program under the In-school Suspension Program. Other alternatives came from a committee composed of administrators, curriculum specialists, and core area teachers who studied the problems associated with the current ALC program. 1 I. J I I The first two alternatives were recommended in the extended program evaluation on the ALC. These alternatives recommended the addition of one instruction aide to supervise the in-school detention program as a form of behavior modification and the addition of either a teacher or another instructional aide to offer a woodworking or arts and crafts classes as a means of improving attendance and motivation of students. J J o JI- I H V I I Both of these recommendations were rejected. The addition of an aide to supervise an in-school detention program was rejected because there was no evidence offered that such an addition would modify behavior. During the first reporting period (August 28 - November 6) 175 disciplinary conferences were held by the principal. The maximum enrollment during that period was 50 students. The potential ratio of disciplinary conferences per student during the quarter reported is quite high, During the same period 49 sanctions were written for students. The potential ratio of students to sanctions is also quite high for a program with a maximum of 50 students on the roll during the reporting period. Clearly, the behavior modification program that was in effect during this period was not effective. Punishing more students did not present the likelihood of improving behavior. bJ I The other recommendation from the extended program evaluation was also rejected. The proposal of adding a woodworking or arts and crafts class was recommended as a tool that may increase motivation and attendance of the M -3- n OD1 I students at the ALC.

RECOMMENDATIONS V I The fourth alternative stated above is recommended. This recommendation is to modify the curriculum at the ALC to focus on the remediation of academic and behavioral skill deficits in a programmatic way. The recommendation requires three things: (1) development and implementation of a behavior modification component to the curriculum, (2) focusing on the remediation of academic skills w through the use of individual student growth plans, and (3) creation of an advisory program that connects students with individual staff members in meaningful ways. V This alternative can lead to successful students at the ALC without increasing the npPerrcsAonnnnfelll level. The _p_ro_p_o_se_di ch_a_n ge. i n b ehi avior modification wi_ll reduce the UI current level of disciplinary sanctions and will lead to successful re-entry into the  local school population after successful completion of the program.

OBJECTIVE M n The objective of the recommendation is to modify the curriculum and the behavior modification program of the ALC to make the program more effective. The recommendation will directly support LRSD objective #3 from the Strategic Plan. n -5- n I II The criteria by which the recommendations will be evaluated are listed below. H A behavior modification curriculum for use in the LRSD at the ALC will be developed and approved during the spring and summer of 1996, with implementation in the fall of 1996. Successful completion of the behavior modification curriculum will result in the return to regular schooling by the student with a marked decrease in future sanctions after his/her return. H H An advisor-advisee program for use in the LRSD at the ALC will be developed and approved during the spring and summer of 1996, with implementation in the fall of 1996. Successful implementation of the advisor-advisee program at the ALC will result in the development of a meaningful relationship between students and faculty as evidenced by self reports of trusting, caring interactions and significant investments of quality time by the participants. The H B The expected benefits of the recommendation will be the successful completion of ALC programming and return to regular schooling by ALC students, realization of the benefits will occur when successful students exit the ALC F. H program and return to regular schooling with positive results. IMPACT ANALYSIS B B The impact of the recommendations will be the positive completion of the ALC program and the return of students to regular schooling without exhibiting the negative academic and behavioral skills that resulted in the assignment to the AT .G B The recommendation will not directly affect either the Desegregation Plan court orders. or any B The recommendation will be positive politically because it will strengthen the ALC program and result in positive changes in the lives of students. B The risks are associated with not going forward with the recommendation.

After the course content is developed, the job description for the position will be developed. Individuals within the LRSD who have had extensive student assistance training or counselor training would be candidates for the position. Financial analysis: Costs associated with the development of the behavior modification curriculum will not exceed $10,000 during fiscal year 1995-96. Supply and equipment costs will not exceed $2,000 during fiscal year 1995-96. Staff development during the fall of 1996 for the curriculum and for the advisor-advisee program will not exceed $10,000 for the 1996-97 fiscal year.

Dwindling support for public education, \"white flight\", juvenile crime and poverty have prompted the abandonment of the notion that quality integrated education can occur in the Little Rock School District schools. Contrary to this notion, the LRSD continues to exert itself in the pursuit of new ideas and programs that will counteract this systemic condition of blight and desertion which threatens the future of our youth and the welfare of our country. B I V Under the guise of providing equitable global opportunities for students enrolled in the program with the intent of facilitating racial balance in the school. educational the International I I Magnet Program at Central High School fails to meet expectations held for it by the District and the community-at-large. Specifically, the program does not have a distinct identity, curriculum is nebulous. And, the program is not effective in curtailing \"white flight\" or attracting other races to the school in numbers commensurate with achieving racial balance. The I I In eradicating the above problems, the administration at Central High School solicits the support of the District in adopting the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program as the International Studies Magnet Program at Central High School.

These factors affect the school climate, educational outcomes, and the community's perception of our school. Cloverdale's current student make-up is 85% black and 15% white. Efforts to attract non-black students to come into compliance of desegregation mandates has proven unsuccessful over the last 4 years. Communitybased support is minimal at best. We believe this is in response to our lack of targeted curriculum to attract students to our school. Eight years ago. Cloverdale adjoined with the restructuring movement that is presently encompassing the state of Arkansas. Restructuring allowed us the opportunity to change our way of thinking in the education of our students. The experiences we have encountered have been exhilarating and yet thought-provoking. Restructuring has created a climate that is conducive to student achievement and self-esteem. Decrease in student enrollment has jeopardized our efforts to create a positive and nurturing environment. As a result of these factors, we have begun the agonizing process of assessment. He believe that Cloverdale can be a signifleant contributor to our community and school district. The inability to attract new students and develop a community partnership serve as a deterrent to our growth in Southwest Little Rock and the Little Rock School District. BACKGROUND INFORMATION During the 1987-88 school year, Cloverdale Junior High was annexed by the Little Rock School District. Two years prior to the consolidation of Southwest Little Rock, conditions at Cloverdale began to deteriorate. A stressful working environment existed at Cloverdale because of the uncertainty of the situation. Community members who had been ardent supporters of our school began to break their association with us. With the inclusion of Cloverdale Junior High to the Little Rock School District, the community began to feel like an adopted child. During this first year, Cloverdale became a \"dumping ground\" for the students who had extreme behavior problems. Within this 4 year period, Cloverdale had 5 1 I I II I I I principals assigned to our school. With the administrator turnover and the \"adopted child\" syndrome, the community's disapproval of the Little Rock School District increased. Students across the district began to call our school \"Cloverjail\", within 2 years of inclusion into the Little Rock School District, III Cloverdale was facing a public relations problem. The main impetus behind this proposal is the district mandates of improving educational outcomes and capping black enrollment at 78.5*. We believe that the implementation of this proposal  f' (JI with allow us to achieve these goals. Restructuring, administrator stability. and improvements in the school climate pushed Cloverdale into a positive direction. The Little Rock School District had made a keen observation. If I Cloverdale was to succeed, it would need consistency. This move suppressed much If of the coomunitys anger against the District, although not enough to fully I support the school and its efforts to achieve. V I V PROBLEM DEFINITION The educators of Cloverdale Junior High School believe that the decrease in student enrollment has placed our school in non-compliance of desegregation mandates. without an increase in student enrollment of non-black students. Cloverdale will continue to face this problem. Student enrollment data should verify this concern. The reduction of the student population continues to I jeopardise efforts already in place to promote the school climate and increase ! student achievement. The community's support for the school will begin to M deteriorate once again. It has been an extremely slow process to revitalize our school. Further problems will only decrease the public's trust. Cloverdale's I greatest problem in attracting students has centered around the public image of the school. Negative, and often incorrect, stories in the newspaper and on I television have left an unpleasant scar on Cloverdale Junior High. without the inclusion of a targeted curriculum and technology, Cloverdale will have a hard I time attracting new students. The underlying problem that exists at Cloverdale Junior High is that the I school is out of compliance with desegregation mandate. Factors that have I 2 I to r contributed to the problem are a lack of community support, negative public image, a decrease in student enrollment, increase in private school enrollment in this area, and a lack of a targeted curriculum to attract more students. This problem does not solely exist at Cloverdale, but seems to impact the district as a whole. Student achievement, teacher morale, and community spirit are the primary recipients of this underlying problem. Negative publicity in the news overshadows the positives in academics and school environment. The primary actors consist of students, community, and teachers at our school. ANALYSIS OP ALTERNATIVES Cloverdale's restructuring effort has created an environment that enables our school to see many alternatives for change. Before restructuring was mandated by the state, Cloverdale had already been involved in this change process for 3 years. Restructuring allowed our school to phase in new programs over a period of time that have fostered student success. Our school is now looking at other phases of development that will further enhance student achievement and ccxnmunity support. Cloverdale's restructuring has centered around the organizational structure s of the school. Each grade level has consisted of 2 core teams made up teachers in the areas of English, Math, Learning Foundations, Science, and Social Studies. Ninth grade does not include the Learning Foundations component. Related Arts teams are made up of student electives. Teams center on the behavioral needs of the student. It is important that students have a sense of belonging and selfworth. Every student belongs to a team or family. Whereas students who do not generally participate in extra curricular activities still encompass a sense of ownership in the school. Once these needs are satisfied, the teams can then foster the development of the cognitive domain. Teaming is no\nthe only alternative that has exhibited a great deal of success, we have also seen an increase participation in extra curricular activities has increased over this period of time. Increased enrollment in student clubs has generated the student's desire to participate in the positive development of the school 3/ . I I environment. These alternatives have not been unsuccessful. If anything, they have I 1 I 1 t I created a desire to keep going in this direction. Our accomplishments have I I I inspired us to seek higher expectations for ourselves. By phasing in the \"academy\" concept, we hope to bring up further developments in the areas of student achievement, community support, and improve the student's self concept. By attracting more students we will legally comply with desegregation mandates. The coat of such change is relatively inexpensive and is more likely to save 4*- ai money. Teachers are more likely to report to work when the environment is positive and friendly. Students tend to be lees destructive of school property I if they feel ownership of the school. The community is more likely to support the school monetarily through fund raisers, which would make some clubs become self- 1347 V sufficient. embraced them. It is not that we have rejected these alternatives, but rather We feel there is more we can do for ourselves and the community. I Through the implementation of this proposal we build upon our success and ultimately create a school environment that is conducive to meeting students' ! \u0026lt;\u0026gt;) I needs. RECtMOIEMDATIOM o I Cloverdale Junior High seeks the opportunity to provide its members with opportunities for success. We believe that in order for students to be y 1 I contributing members in our society they incorporate an attitude in excellence. It is our intention to create a school environment that nurtures and fosters such I attributes of the human character. One word can characterize such an endeavor. Academy. A school that provides specialized programs that cultivate achievement I and self-worth. Cloverdale believes that changing our name to Cloverdale Junior High I Academy will enhance the reputation of our school. This name change will help I affect our public image, attitude, and mental image of ourselves in very positive and constructive ways. It will cultivate higher expectations for our school. By providing a more challenging environment, we will be able to attract more I students. Increased student enrollment will help us comply with desegregation I 4 a 00 r -I mandates. Thia newfound Image will reinforce better student behavior. A targeted curriculum centered around enriched academic courses gives our students a stronger academic push. It Is our Intention to place Into the curriculum a collection of pre-AP courses. These courses would be Implemented through vertical teaming. These courses would not necessarily be limited to the \"gifted\" students, but would be available for all students. By using the technique of curriculum mapping we be able monitor and adjust our content areas so they provide a higher degree of complexity and critical thinking for our students. The program Itself allows us to examines other options such as school uniforms. This would further enhance the academy concept In our school. OBJECTIVES The faculty and staff of Cloverdale believes that there are four (4) basic objectives which can be met by the application of the name change requested within this document. The first, and perhaps the most Important, objective which must be stated and met Is the fact that Cloverdale Is seriously out of compliance with the federal court mandated guide lines concerning the racial balance of each I school within the Little Rock School District. At 85% black enrollment. Cloverdale exceeds the guidelines by a minimum of 7% and this non-compllance must be addressed Immediately. The resolution of this objective Is paramount to the success of Cloverdale and Is the underlying reason for all other objectives. Because of the serious negative reputation which has been endured by Cloverdale over the past several years, our second objective suggests that a positive Image needs to be placed within the public's perception. This objective must be ongoing and Is of vital Importance In attracting new students to the school and. thus, helping In attainment of the first objective. Academic achievement has always been and will always be an objective for Cloverdale and Is the third objective chosen by the faculty. There are many excellent students at Cloverdale who achieve very successfully on standardized tests and there are also students at Cloverdale who show academic growth on the tests. The name change requested supports and reinforces the emphasis place on the academic achievement already in place at Cloverdale. As a result of the negative publicity and negative 5I I perception of Cloverdale in the community, the students are adversely affected and to a degree feel that they are undervalued and have a negative perception of I themselves when assigned to attend Cloverdale. The fourth objective deals with I I this negative concept of the students and attempts to create methods in which the negative concept can be changed to a positive self-concept on the part of the students attending Cloverdale. To state succinctly the four (4) objectives which the faculty and staff of Cloverdale have chosen and feel must be implemented: 1. Cloverdale must increase the number of non-black students at the school 4a f I I in order to comply with the court ordered racial guidelines. 2. Cloverdale must implement a planned program targeting the positive programs and activities which exist at the school. 3. Academic achievement will be stressed I' 1 4. Cloverdale must endeavor to implant a positive self-concept within the I I student body. The recommendation which has been submitted will help to support the I objectives of the district as well as the objectives which have been chosen at Cloverdale as vital for the survival of the school as a fully functioning and outstanding school within the district. Recently the school was chosen as a fl  i JI ? pilot school for the Beacon Project. This selection will not only enhance the school but also appreciably impact the perception of the school by the community as well as the student body. One of the major goals of the LRSD is to deter \"whito flight\" and to recruit white, students to the district\nit is the stated goal of the district to which Cloverdale has committed itself. For the district to survive, a more positive image is required and the parents of the district must be assured and believe that their children can and will receive a quality education. A private school's perception, whether fact based or not, is of high academic standards and low class disruption events. Cloverdale, by attaining the academy designation, will gain a positive perception in the public' eye just by adding the word to the name. Hopefully, this designation, along with the greater erophasis on academics, will gain greater nonblack enrollment and help fl the school gain compliance stature. fl fl Jf 4 to If Ch  i 00 I I II I I I h I I r The first objective of the school is the most easily measured as the black/non-black ratio: can be measured on even a daily basis if needed. Furthermore, academic progress is a statistically measurable objective on a yearly basis. Data are available on these two (2) objectives and are compiled not only by Cloverdale but also by the district. These quantitative measurements are tied to the qualitative measurements which may take several years to attain although progress may be documented. Perception is a nebulous asset and , although not specifically measurable, may be charted as to the activities which are taking place to attain the measurement. Programs which assist in fostering positive perception by the community include the use of public media to present the school in a favorable light and its programs as outstanding. It will be vital for a log and time-chart to be kept at the school which demonstrates the use of the media to promote the school and the use of the media to counter balance any unfavorable publicity which may occur. The promotion of the school and its activities to the media may be recorded although the effect of the promotion may not be readily apparent for several months or even for several years. The perception of the school did not occur overnight and the solution will not be an overnight event. The effectiveness of the second and fourth objectives must be on-going and activities must be in place and functioning immediately for the impact to be felt. Academic societies (Beta Club and National Junior Honor Society), Advisor/Advisee programs. Athletic (inter and intra-mural) activities. Honor Roll activities, teacher recognition/involvement. and other clubs and activities are so tightly bound together that it is difficult to separate them and assign measurement to each. Each by itself contributes to itself and to the whole. The greatest benefit of the attainment of the objectives will be achieved when the school regains compliance with the racial guidelines of the federal court. Increased attendance along with both student and parental involvement will gain the positive publicity and perception of the school. When parents and community view Cloverdale as a \"private school in a puolic school setting\". Cloverdale will have achieved its goals and the district's goals. I 7I I I I I I I I I RESOURCE ANALYSIS Personnel analysis In the attainment of the goal of compliance impacts heavily. The recruitment of non-black students to the school must not mean the transfer of black students to other schools to achieve the federally mandated racial balance. Cloverdale does not wish to transfer any of the present students but only attract new students\ntherefore, for the higher enrollment envisioned, new faculty members must be hired or reassigned. One of the off shoots of the compliance objective is the return to the team concept at the school. Teaming has been beneficial in previous years not only to the students but also to the teachers. Although the attainment of the first goal will mean the faculty/staff must be increased and thus the budgetary monies increased for the school, such budget increases will ba repaid by the offset in community and parental involvements and support for the district. If full attainment of the objective is met (a school enrollment of 750), a minimum of seven (7) new or reassigned faculty would be required. Based on a salary of $20,000 per faculty member, this cost would be $140,000. Additionally, further support staff may be needed at a coat of $15,000 each. Moreover, workshops to implement the teaming concept should be held. These do not have to be expensive as they can be held at school on the staff development days which are already scheduled by the district and led by faculty members who are already familiar with the teaming concept. I vo JI r^i .4M 1 o I Furthermore, the projected cost of personnel would not be during year one(l) but iW would be spread over several years as the increased enrollment warranted the - I hiring of additional personnel. The personnel cost has been estimated at a full school capacity. Various sources of monies are available for expenses which are I not directly tied to personnel increases. To present the school as a private school in a public setting would involve the creation of services which the I community perceives as being available in only a private school such as, but not limited to, technological advances. Some of these expenses could be funded I through grants and fund raisers. Private companies can and will assist in the acquisition of computers, laser nlayers, computer assisted education, etc. The I district's expenses would be spending monies in a concept that works and promotes I 8 I Is) I I the district and the expenditure would be based on a need basis. This need basis expenditure is a plus for the district. More students at Cloverdale equates to more parental and community support of the school and the district. The enhancement of Cloverdale is a \"win, win\" situation for the district. FORCE FIELD ANALYSIS The primary supporters of the recommendation presented in this proposal are the administration, faculty, and staff of Cloverdale Junior High. This group will be primarily responsible for the implementation of the proposal. The faculty/staff have already shown a high degree of commitment to change through the restructuring process. The main detractors of the proposal center in the community. This is primarily based on the media reports and the inability of the school to present the positive factors taking place at the school It would seem that parents and the community are presented with half of the infoirmation and are unable to appreciate the positive gains being made at Cloverdale. Therefore, it is our intention to conduct surveys within the community to measure the degree to which infoinnation is being processed outside our school. We plan to highlight our positive attributes through various channels of communication. Results from surveys and test results are processed by a third party and maintain a large degree of confidentiality. This effort would be considered a matter of public trust and would only be used for evaluation of goals set by the school itself. GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN As mentioned earlier in this proposal, Cloverdale plans to establish a log or time chart for communication with groups outside the school. This log will be used to monitor the progress of the school. Biannual evaluation of goals is a standard already being implemented her at Cloverdale. The time line for the implementation of this plan will be over a five (5) year span. Faculty members have already been assigned to several committees based on the four objectives stated earlier. A recruitment committee has been assigned to develop a brochure to be handed out this Spring. This committee will also be responsible for 9 I I presenting positive highlights of our school to the media, elementary schools, and the coamunity for the remainder of thia school year. The steering committee I is developing an action plan for the remainder of this school year. The steering comnittee will also conduct parent and community surveys on such issues as school I uniforms to gain insight to community's perception and degree of knowledge of the 4V\" school. Result from the surveys should be completed no later than March, 1996. Upon completion of these tasks, the steering committee will draw up a five (5) year action plan emphasizing goals for all committees, deadlines, and evaluation UI  tl no later than May 1996. Of the several goals already expressed, the committee will focus on the infusion of a creed, pledge, and a school dress code. A daily recitation of a creed and pledge helps promote student self-concept and motivate students to be successful. This concept has already been implemented for the i1*'' I 1995-96 school year and has been highly successful. School uniforms are an I I essential component of private institutions. It is the desire of thia committee I to implement such as practice by the 1996-97 school year. Ir \"W IMPACT ANALYSIS The positive aspects of the Academy program will certainly outweigh the '1o I negative ones. Improvements in participant morale, ownership, and academics have already been discussed as probable results that will serve to provide a positive JI and success-oriented atmosphere. In addition, compliance with the desegregation laws will be achieved, as the positive public image and higher enrollment entices I more students to attend Cloverdale. A positive image is especially important in a depressed area as Southwest Little Rock. However there is a possibility that I Cloverdale's anticipated high student enrollment will detract from the attendance in other schools. Once capacity at our school is reached, no other students may NJ I attend, even though they might benefit greatly from the experience. The impact of the program in thia respect could be seen as a negative. I Specifically, a targeted curriculum which entices higher achieving students coupled with a positive image will promote enrollment toward capacity. The I school will then be able to satisfy the 78.5% minority enrollment cap which is I 10 'I r mandated by both the State and the District. Cloverdale will once again be in compliance with that plan, and have in place a concept which will further academic excellence and ensure high enrollment in the future. In a city-wide perspective, Southwest Little Rock lacks a specialized junior high school. Cloverdale would be a model of success in an otherwise barren area. With easy access to main thoroughfares (such as Baseline, University, I- 30, 1-630), the school's location is ideal for the possibility of growth. The implementation of a specialized curriculum and unique school concept would give Cloverdale a much needed public image boost, and the city community would no longer label the zone as \"barren\". In simple terms, the Academy concept is a low-risk, high-yield endeavor. Cloverdale has continued to forge new paths since its inclusion into the district, beginning with restructuring and the team concept. Now the school must move forward with the introduction of an Academy concept and a targeted curriculum. Currently, enrollment is down. State and District desegregation percentages are out of compliance, and the school suffers from a poor image. There is a very real risk of failure, in terms of student performance and safety. if measures to counteract these negative factors are not implemented. That risk must be weighed against the factors which involve our proposal. There is virtually no monetary cost demanded to establish this Academy, and only minor risks involved in re-assigning students to fulfill capacity. Ideally, the Academy concept will be in place by September 1996. To achieve thia goal, approval of this proposal should be granted by February, 1996. Immediately after approval is given, Cloverdale will conduct in-service meetings in regard to curriculum innovations, motivation, and logistics. The staff must also increase slightly in order to meet the anticipated increase in enrollment. I 11 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Negative forces exist at Cloverdale Junior High School. These forces I affect the school climate, educational outcomes and community perception. The enrollment at Cloverdale is 85% black and 15% white. Efforts have been made in I vain for the last 4 years to attract non-black students. The community at large if-- has a negative perception of Cloverdale. He believe that a targeted curriculum will help attract non-black students to Cloverdale and bring us into compliance with State and District mandates. I un / *1 Cloverdale began sliding in the 1985-86 school year. There was uncertainty about the desegregation lawsuit pending. Longtime supporters in the community * 1 began breaking ties with us. Cloverdale was annexed by the Little Rock School District in the 1987-88 school year, and became a \"dumping ground\" for students 11 -li with extrone behavior problems. Cloverdale had five (5) principals in four (4) years, causing a great deal of uncertainty and stress among the faculty. All of these factors have created a severe public relations problem. He became known L as \"Cloverjail\". He have moved in a positive direction with restructuring. so I administrator stability, and improvements in the school climate. He wish to continue this trend. o I Cloverdale Junior High is out of compliance with the desegregation KJ * mandates. Unless we attract non-black students, this problem will worsen. He I have lost non-black students steadily for the last three years. The causes of this problem can be traced to the following factors: lack of community support. I negative public image, a decrease in enrollment, an increase in private school enrollment, and a lack of a targeted curriculum. These problems are district- I wide. The local media focuses on the negative aspects and ignores positive attributes of Cloverdale Junior High. The primary actors consist of students. I community, and educators at our school. Cloverdale began the process of restructuring three years before mandated I by the state. success. This has allowed us to phase in new programs to foster student Our school is starting Phase II of Restructuring, to further enhance I student achievement and community support. When we restructured, we divided the M 12 M (O r R . grade level classes into two teams. Each team had its own teachers and identity. This allowed students to participate and have a sense of ownership in the school. with the decrease in student enrollment, thia concept has been modified, thus losing its effectiveness. We have encouraged participation in extra-curricular activities during the school day and after school programs. We have not rejected the alternatives we've tried. We feel that the \"academy\" concept will further develop student participation, student achievement and community support. Cloverdale Junior High School seeks to rename itself Cloverdale Junior High academy. We believe that this change will enhance the reputation of our school and foster higher expectations among our students. With a more challenging environment created by the Academy concept, we will reinforce positive behavior. ind attract students. Another aspect of the academy concept would be a targeted curriculum centered around enriched academic course that give our students a stronger academic push. It is our intention to place into the curriculum a collection of pre-AP courses that would be implemented through vertical teaming and be available to all students. By using the technique of curriculum mapping. we will be able to monitor and adjust our content areas so they provide a higher degree of complexity and critical thinking. The objectives of this action are as follows: 1. Cloverdale must increase the number of non-black students at the school in order to comply with the court ordered racial guidelines. 2. Cloverdale must implement a planned program targeting the positive programs and activities which exist at the school. 3. Academic achievement will be stressed. 4. Cloverdale must endeavor to implant a positive self-concept within the student body. The Academy concept will help support the District goals. The Little Rock School District is concerned about \"white flight\". This concept will help increase nonblack enrollment. The District is concerned about negative public image. The R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R Academy will be a positive statement, and will help ease the public perception R 13 fe R'1 I! ! that Little Rock schools ace In trouble. Measures will be taken to ensure that ' 111 quantitative and qualitative criteria will be gathered. I Scrapbooks, logs, enrollment lists, test scores, and surveys will all be analyzed. This data will be analyzed and reported by In-house staff. This will avoid any extra cost of ii analysis. We expect to comply with the desegregation mandates. Increase student *- involvement, and Improve the community's perception of our school. This proposal could have the following negative Impacts: Un 1. When the school reaches full capacity, students would then be assigned to a waiting list. 2. If our school Is successful, other schools many face a decrease In student enrollment However, the following positive Impacts are possible: 1. Southwest Little Rock Is relatively underdeveloped. The area's accessibility to major thoroughfares makes It a prime location for a specialized school for the District. 2. The Academy Concept with emphasis on a targeted curriculum will attract more students to come to this area. 3. Community-based support will ultimately Increase In Southwest J Little Rock. 4. Students will achieve, parents will be exhilarated, and the Southwest '.I zone of the Little Rock School District will prosper. This concept will help the District achieve their desegregation goals by decreasing \"white flight. The impact of the court orders will be positive. since the enhanced curriculum will result in higher test scores. Southwest Little Rock does not have a magnet or incentive school. This will make the area feel less like a \"stepchild\" of the district. This is a low cost, low risk way of doing something positive for the students of this school district. We need approval for this project by Spring of 1996 to implement it by August 1996. Personnel needs for implementation include five (5) more teachers to cover the increased enrollment. This will provide two full teams per grade level, and 1 more related arts teachers. We will have to provide staff development workshops 14 I. I lii 11  I !r- ii r to train new faculty and refresh existing teachers. Ideally we would like to add 2 one secretarial position. We project an enrollment of 750 students, an increase of approximately 150 students. We feel that our projected increase in enrollment is feasible, since Southwest Little Rock has had many small private schools open up in the last five years. We feel that the financial impact will be no more than $150,000 for the next five fiscal years. We will use the money to add w staff, equipment, and incentives. We will be actively seeking grants and having fund raisers to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency. We will cut costa by purchasing in bulk, and planning ahead so cost is incurred at one discount. The monies spent will be utilized wisely. We will be spending on something that  works, and potentially reducing the costs to society. The educators of Cloverdale are the primary supporters of this recoomendat ion. Our biggest detractor is the community. We will use all R necessary measures to maintain confidentiality in any survey or test given. Evaluation and assessment will be conducted bi-yearly. We will set up a log to track our progress. We are preparing recruitment brochures and increasing R R positive comnunications with the District and media. There is a trend becoming increasingly noticeable in the Little Rock School District, one of \"Johnny Jump-Up\" schools. These are small private institutions H which have slowly and furtively enticed students away from the public school n system into their own. We wish to counteract this progression by introducing a \"private academy\" concept within the public school district. The recruiting pool B is unguestionably filled to the brim. It is our desire to gain back students that have left the district or recruit them from local private schools . With parents becoming increasingly competitive consumers of education. it is R imperative that we find alternatives to give our school a competitive advantage. R R E 15 E IM Dunbar Magnet Junior High School International Studies/Gifted and Talented Education .r-' / UI 4 3 9 II Business Case Presented By: Linda Brown. Principal January 8, 1996 I .\nu,  j I'. p. I iLi ,1 I II e ( fl 1 00r p p p EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I Dunbar Junior High School, an Interdistrict Magnet School for International Studies and Gifted and Talented education opened in the Fall of 1990. The Magnet portion consists of two instructional components, each designed to offer a different educational option to junior high students with the hope of successfully desegregating an inner city school with a rapidly declining white population. p p The school receives monies to implement the magnet portion, and is able to offer gifted and talented instruction as a separate strand, coordinated by a full time GT Specialist within the building, and taught by teachers who have GT certification or are working toward it. In addition, an International Studies component allows students to work on special projects, take related courses, and the gain the benefits of having a full time Specialist who is continually working to expose the entire student body to education designed for a global perspective. I p p H When the Dunbar Magnet program was originally implemented, attendance was granted to those students who chose a specialty school with Dunbar's offerings. The GT component was offered to all students who met the criteria established by our district for gifted and talented identification. The recruitment process extended to students outside the attendance zone and included the NLRSD and the PCSSD. H I Within the last three years, assignment to the Magnet component has come almost entirely from outside the attendance zone, which has resulted in an imbalance, not only within the magnet program, but also an imbalance in the recruitment process. At the present time, black students are not recruited for the Magnet component, and in essence, the program is not available to them unless they reside within the attendance zone of Dunbar. White students are allowed access to the program regardless of attendance zone. B R R Alternatives have been limited by the student assignment plan. All incoming attendance zone, black students are screened for GT placement. This process has been productive, but does not address the issue of equitable access for other black students. Therefore, it is recommended that the criteria for application to the Dunbar Magnet program be expanded to include GT identified black students from all LRSD attendance zone areas, NLRSD, and PCSSD. R R Rationale for implementation of this recommendation can certainly be found in the desire to augment the availability of the program to black students and their parents and correct the disservice which now exists for black students and their families. Moreover, such an expansion of access that this recommendation carries, will ensure that more peer role models will exist for the black student who is reluctant to utilize his or her innate abilities\nand indirectly, will impact the number of black students having access to Advanced Placement courses in high school which ultimately will increase their likelihood of obtaining scholarship and recognition for higher education. R R B III H 11 An overall objective of the recommendation is to raise the level of minority participation in GT classes and to enhance the potential for establishing racial balance within the GT magnet component. In so doing, the District will better meet its commitment of desegregating all classes and increasing the number of minority students in GT classes. H The impact of the recommendation will be most directly felt by the black students and their families. A more positive school climate will be an indirect impact felt from implementation of the recommendation since the image of a white \"elitist\" magnet component can be dispelled to a greater degree. Academic levels for black students in general should increase, reducing the disparity between white and black student acheivement test scores. The risks of not addressing the H recommendation may mean a further segregation of classes, leaving the school district open to criticism from various political arenas. 1  An analysis of change in personnel or financial matters is a possibility, although the change would most likely result in seeking more GT trained instructors, and specifically, black teachers to represent appropriate modeling for minority students\nmore than an increase in the number of positions. The total enrollment of Dunbar should remain at or near the same with this H recommendation in place. It is projected that this proposal will receive, wide-base approval. Both black and white patrons stand to gain from the implementation of the proposal\ngiving one group a new avenue to pursue academic enhancements, and the other group leverage to promote racial harmony.  M H In summary, the recommendation enclosed within this business case will be of greatest benefit to the black students to whom the assignment option to Dunbar will be extended. These students have been denied the offerings that abound for white GT students from within and outside the district. Not only will a change in the assignment pattern result in intensified study and options for identified black students, but will be a vehicle for the school district and Dunbar to promote an image of equality and equity to all applicants for the magnet component..  II d nH I 171 1 ! -earl kO I O I Jll 4 I 1 Il JM r II A. Background 1. Current situation. Dunbar Junior High School opened in the fall of 1990 as an Interdistrict Magnet School for International Studies and Gifted and Talented education. A joint planning Committee of area businesses, school administrators from the three districts, staff, and parents was used to supplement plans that had been developed by the District. V  w Students are assigned to Dunbar Magnet by the Student Assignment Office. The NLRSD and PCSSD actively recruit students who are eligible for M-to-M transfers. The target racial balance of Dunbar is consistent with the Interdistrict Plan, seeking to obtain a ratio of 60 percent and 40 percent black/white. II  As the name indicates, Dunbar Junior High, International Studies/Gifted and Talented Magnet was initiated as a traditional junior high, housing components that will address specific curriculum needs of gifted education and international studies. The result is a magnet school within a school. H Briefly stated, the two components of the magnet program co-exist within the current curriculum structure as follows\nH Gifted and Talented Instruction/Services M Students who are identified in elementary school or who are screened as seventh graders for gifted placement, are enrolled in GT core courses (English, Math, Science, Social Studies.) Students may be identified for one, two, three, or four GT classes. The options for classes outside the GT class include regular or enriched placement. 11 H In addition, a GT Specialist is on staff, full time, to provide special seminar classes, coordinate activities in the building which enhance the GT students' scope of instruction, and to screen new students for the program on a continuous basis. The GT Specialist is also responsible for inservice to the faculty, conducting parental meetings to address needs of the GT student, maintaining a Placement and Exit committee, and holding regular meetings with the GT teachers in the building. I R H International Studies Instruction/Promotion B The International Studies component consists of infusion within the core curriculum, and the offering of electives relating to global interdependence. All Dunbar students are required to participate in foreign language instruction to provide a base-level awareness of our interconnection with other cultures. In addition, students are offered courses such as African Studies, Planet Earth, and Leadership in the Twentieth Century. B I This component also has a full time Specialist who coordinates the program and has I Iincorporated into it a service learning project, a Culture Fair in which students participate similar to the Science Fair, an International Dress Up Day, and participation in regional contests which increase awareness of global issues,(e.g. Geography Bee). Additionally, the Specialist coordinates the visits of foreign dignitaries to Dunbar, the activities of exchange students and teachers (a Russian teacher/administrator is visiting for the current school year), and the Garden Project (City of Little Rock) which is part of our campus. Dunbar is designated as one of the two junior high Newcomer Centers for ESL students entering the district, thereby offering our students unique chances to interact with peers from other cultures. 2. Background information. The Dunbar Magnet Plan was written for implementation in the 89-90 School year, but due to unforeseen difficulties, it was not activated until the 1990-91 school year. In the initial and second year of implementation, all attendance zone students were required to indicate on a registration form, their desire to attend a specialty, magnet school. If Dunbar was not selected, the attendance zone students were assigned to other area junior high schools. Currently, the attendance zone students are automatically assigned to Dunbar, with the racial balance being maintained at 60/40 for the entire school population. According to a report from Student Assignment, dated 12/12/95, 55% of the students assigned to Dunbar for 95-96, from within the attendance zone, are black\nand 9% of the students from within the attendance zone are white. The result of such demographics clearly signals that our ratio of 60% black will be majority attendance zone, thereby leaving the 40% white population to be taken from out of zone and M-to-M transfers. B. Problem Definition 1. Problem statement. The current assignment plan does not allow a black minority student residing outside of the attendance zone to apply for entrance to the magnet component. Essentially, the GT Magnet and the International Studies Magnet components are unavailable to any eligible black minority student who lives outside the attendance zone, in NLRSD, or in PCSSD. This is a direct result of the attendance zone being majority black and constituting practically the entirety of the 60% black ratio. White students are the only students who can actively seek the programs offered through the GT component, making the GT program accessible only to them or to eligible black students who happen to live within the attendance zone. 2. Considerations. The real problem emerges as one of non accessibility or disparate distribution of a magnet school's services and curriculum to black students residing outside of Dunbar's attendance zone, or living in NLRSD or PCSSD. The complication has emanated from several factors: Student Assignment's struggle to maintain 60% black and to also allow students who live within a school's range (attendance zone) to have first priority to attend\ndemographics which affect an inner city school in an aging neighborhood\nand \"white flight\" to the western boundaries of the school district. e IB 3 r I w I The entire school population is affected by the current status of the student assignment plan. White students from outside the attendance zone, who are identified for GT education, are almost certain to gain admittance until the 40% cap is reached. The result is that a majority of the white population of Dunbar is in the GT component and a majority of the black student population is in Regular or Enriched instruction. A situation has been created that establishes a division between the races and gives the Magnet component the face of \"elitism\". II H W The magnitude of the predicament is reflected in the number of black students identified for GT classes, and in the number of black students receiving awards and achieving distinction in academic competitions.  C. Analysis of Alternatives H 1. Process. The Dunbar Principal, District GT Coordinator, school-based coordinator, AGATE parents, and Dunbar's Recruitment Committee are continuously working toward racial balance for all classes. The GT Specialist screens all minority students from the attendance zone who demonstrate potential for placement in the GT program. M M 2. Identification. Alternatives identified have included: screening all minority students who score at the 50th percentile on a standardized test for GT placement\nand meeting with Dr. Russ Mayo to discuss the assignment plan, and to clarify the problem in the hope of finding some \"loopholes\". M H 3. Analysis. Although the identification process afforded to all incoming minority students will remain in place, and in fact does occur on a continuing basis, it fails to meet the objective of offering the Magnet component to black students on the same basis that it is offered to white and \"other\" students. Additionally, this alternative requires an inordinate amount of time for the GT Specialist, prohibiting her from giving adequate time to other parts of her job, and thus keeping her from fully meeting the needs of the GT program participants. Furthermore, this alternative should not be necessary for students entering from LRSD elementary schools, as GT identification should be completed before students are ready to leave elementary school. n H n R The meeting with Dr. Mayo confirmed that the magnet component was not open to black students from outside the attendance zone, and that we were restricted in actively recruiting black students for the magnet portion. n D. Recommendation R 1. Action recommended. It is recommended that the criteria for application to the Dunbar Magnet program be expanded to include black students from out-of-zone attendance areas, NLRSD, and PCSSD, who have previously been identified as eligible for GT placement. It is further recommended that in extending the program to GT identified black students, it will be done in a way that allows first R R R[1 I I 3 _ priority to those students within the attendance zone, and second priority to the identified GT students from outside the attendance zone. 2. Rationale Clearly, the Magnet component of the Dunbar program, as it stands now, is not open to all GT identified students, specifically, black students within and outside the district. Both the International Studies and the GT components offer unique opportunities and funding that are not available at other junior high schools. To limit the availability of the program to black students and their parents is not only without equity, but is also a disservice to those students and families. At a time in the history of our school district when a noted disparity exists between the number of black students and the number of white students participating in advanced placement classes and consequently receiving the benefits that accompany that instruction, (e.g., direct accessibility to college level preparation through use of an approved syllabus and instruction from trained teachers\npossibility of attaining college credit\nscholarship offerings\nmeeting selective college admission credentials), black students should be receiving the highest level of preparedness available to them in the junior high years. One of the factors that blocks access to and is a contributing factor in a lack of retention in AP courses in high school for black students, is a failure to be identified earlier for specialized instruction, thereby placing them at a disadvantage when they are placed in AP classes. It must also be argued that a lack of peer role models for the black GT student exists, and contributes greatly in perpetuating the image of the non-achieving black student so often delineated in educational literature and through the media in general. Specifically, at Dunbar, we have found it extremely to engage or recruit eligible black males to the GT program due to peer pressure and a lack of other black males as role models. Lastly, the justification for expanding the criteria for entry into the Dunbar Magnet program, can be found in a discussion of the racial disharmony that exists between the non magnet students and the magnet students. The magnet students are viewed as white, elitist, and superior. A natural division has been created, inadvertently, that projects an unsurmountable image, and an overwhelming obstacle for students. The Dunbar administration and support personnel are constantly seeking programs and activities to change the dynamics of the situation, but at the same time, feel that the \"undoing\" of the current method of assignment to the Magnet program could send a more direct message to students and the surrounding community. E. Objective 1. Objective. The objective of this recommendation is to raise the level of minority participation in GT classes and to enhance the potential for establishing racial balance within the GT magnet component. 2. Goal Support. The Little Rock School District Goals and Mission Statement is supported by this objective. I I I I i/i ] d O i G.. U) | ,1 II I I Ml L  II w A stated desire to \"ensure sure that equity occurs in all phases of school activities and operations\", stands out as the most apparent statement with relationship to the objective. Likewise, the Mission Statement commits to providing \"a quality, integrated educational program which encourages all children to achieve their optimum academic, social, and emotional development\", to be achieved through a commitment to \"fairness, racial equity, and adequate support for education\". w H 3. Evaluation Criteria Previously identified Gifted/Talented black students who live outside the attendance zone or in the NLRSD or PCSSD will be accepted into the Dunbar Magnet Component. Progress will be measured through data provided by the Student Assignment Office and the Office for Gifted Education in the LRSD. H M 4. Expected benefits. The District will better meet its commitment of desegregating all classes and increasing the number of minority students in GT classes. In addition, black, identified GT students from all three school districts will be afforded the same options and benefits that white GT identified students are given. The educational options for black students will be greatly bolstered. H M F. Impact Analysis II 1. Program. This recommendation will allow the principal of Dunbar, and the district to better address the criticism leveled at the program regarding the number of racially imbalanced classes. It will also have an impact on the number of black students achieving at the same rate as white students, and the number entering GT/AP courses at the high school level. The direct impact of this recommendation will be felt by GT black students who currently have no access to the program\nhowever, the impact on the school climate and on achievement levels for black students leaving junior high will be evident. H B B 2. Desegregation Plan. This plan can only have a positive impact on the Desegregation Plan, and in fact will not deter at all the original intention of the Magnet component: to further desegregate the school by attracting M-to-M and out of zone students to the program. That aspect, as it relates to the Desegregation Plan of 1992, will still be in place. B B 3. Court Orders. Implementation of the plan will require a modification in how the Student Assignment Office carries out the court order for desegregation in its assignment of students to the Dunbar Magnet program. B I 4. Risks. The risks of not addressing this recommendation seem to be the key issue. Further segregation of classes and groups of students will occur, leaving the school and the district open to criticism from various political arenas. The academic potential that the Magnet components offer to students may be lost entirely if a continued disparity exists between what is offered to white GT I I students and not offered to black GT students. 5. Timing. Timing issues relate to recruitment deadlines for Magnet programs, and on-going recruitment efforts in the community. The Recruitment Team at Dunbar is currently activating plans to participate in the Magnet Fair, visit elementary schools, talk to elementary counselors, and continue to conduct tours arranged both through direct contact as well as by the Student Assignment office. Under the current assignment plan, the staff at Dunbar is aware that when prospective black parents and students visit, a certain amount of deception is in place, and an uncomfortableness about portrayal of the program to black parents exists. Our guidance staff has adopted the position of not telling interested black parents who visit that their children are ineligible for the Magnet program\nbut instead, hope that through their insistence with Student Assignment, some change can be initiated. G. Resources Analysis 1. Personnel analysis. An increase in the number of GT students having an option to attend Dunbar may certainly require more GT trained staff to be in place. There is also a current need in the building to identify black staff members as GT instructors and help them obtain the necessary credentials for certification in teaching gifted students.  \u0026gt; *0. 2. Financial analysis. Financial shifting should not be an issue, since student/teacher ratio will not change. The Desegregation Budget provides partial funding for the Magnet component, and the argument could be made that the effectiveness of the court ordered funding will be enhanced as the recommendation is implemented and addresses the needs of all eligible students within the three district boundary. H. Force Field Analysis. This recommendation should receive broad based support from both black and white patrons of the district. It will allow more black students to access the magnet school program and provide a vehicle to help promote racial balance among classes. The Joshua Intervenors, as an active visible factor in the court room to monitor our adherence to the Desegregation Plan should be a supporter of this recommendation. Parents of black students who have actively sought the school's programs and been denied, as well as potential students and parents that will be recruited, will certainly be among the strongest supporters. o I I It The primary detractors may be other school principals who feel that the Magnet school program will attract gifted black students from the area schools and lessen their pool of gifted students. In response to this reaction, it should be noted that Dunbar's Magnet program should not have any more impact on their cunent programs than Mann Magnet Junior High has on all of the other junior highs. e i9S i a r v 1 I Student Assignment should develop a plan that allows application from the target group, but in no way will prevent them from attending their current attendance zone school. The recommendation is only asking for a \"window of opportunity\" to be extended to black GT students from all district areas, Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Pulaski County. H v 1. Implementation  Implementation of the recommendation will require a Desegregation Plan modification. If implementation is to be done, the recommendation must be addressed as soon as possible to make it a reality for the 1996-97 school year. B B B B B B H M M H n 1 I n I IBUSINESS CASE WRITING AND REPORTING TV NEWS Southwest Junior High New Course Offering EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I The recommendation of this business case is to expand the video club (TV crew) currently offered through the afterschool program at Southwest Junior High School to an elective full year course for Sth and 9th graders. One section of the course will be offered and will accommodate 30 students. I 3 The TV crew began in the fall of 1991 and has continued to grow and develop for the past five years. Sufficient interest has been exhibited to warrant the development and offering of this specialized elective. A fully equipped video production studio exists at Southwest Junior High to support this course. The addition of this course to the Southwest Junior High curriculum would be viewed as a special opportunity by the students and their parents. It will also serve as a recruiting tool for Southwest. The purpose of this course is to provide Southwest Junior High students the opportunity to learn valuable skills for the future. It would also enhance the overall curriculum of the school by providing students with an opportunity to experience in a practical way a variety of the essentia! learning components of the districts core curriculum. Such a course would serve well at the junior high level to many academic learning experiences with real life skills preparation. Students who have participated in an abbreviated version offered in the afterschool program have obtained employment while in high school as a result of skills learned through program participation. There are numerous skills to be learned in this course to give the students experience in the TV and Video field. Students will learn broadcast news writing, operation of the video cameras, post-production editing, production methods and techniques, computer generated titles, scripts, and other character generator techniques. There are no additional expenditures expected prior to implementation. A. BACKGROUND Currently, Southwest Junior High School students have the opportunity to panicipate in the TV crew or video club that meets two days per week. This is the fifth year this club activity has been offered. a I I \"00 ill. N) [= i\n\"I 1 ir I Bl A fully equipped studio exists and includes the following\nn 3 color televisions for editing. 3 VCRs for initial edit logging. 2 Amiga monitors used as TelePrompTers. 1 Amiga 150 and software used for TelePrompTers. 1 Panasonic 710 camcorder that is used as a field camera and a second studio camera. 1 Panasonic camcorder that is used exclusively as a studio camera. 1 Panasonic Edit Comptroller for editing. live Audio/Video mixer used as a special effects generator. 1 Amiga 2000 and software used as a character generator. 1 Amiga Gen-Lock used for special visual effects such as superimposing titles over video. 1 cassette tape recorder for assistance in mixing or laying audio on final video tape. 2 camera tripods and dollies. II   M  The reference room of the library was converted to a TV studio. A school-wide contest was held to name the TV station that completed its first year as Southwest News. The name chosen was MMTV (Mustang Media TV) News. A wall was painted and a large logo constructed to add professionalism to the set. A large antique table serves as the anchor desk. New office style chairs were purchased for the two anchors. Ii n The TV crew at Southwest has been involved in many school-related projects as well as some that extended to the community. The following is a partial listing of the projects produced by the students at Southwest. Ii H 1) Students presented a live news broadcast one day per week. 2) Students were invited to film Special Olympics, interviewed sponsors and produced a broadcast. 3) Filmed home coming, dances, speakers, and special activities. 4) Southwest was asked to produce a video for the S.T.A.Y. program. The TV crew worked with a professional editor to complete the final video. 5) Produced a promotional video for southwest FBLA. This video was shown at a roundtable session at the District V. FBLA conference. 6) Produced year-end videos shown to Southwest students at the end of school. H   n B. PROBLEM DEFINITION The time constraints prevent a full exploration of video. TV crew meets two days per week. Students sometimes find it most difficult to get the editing done, the scripts written, and the broadcast prepared in the short time available. Even though students have been very successful to n n B 2 Bdate, it is believed that a more thorough education of the many facets of video could be accomplished if students had more time. The students at Southwest have the equipment and personnel available to benefit from training in the operation of video equipment. However, the time now available is insufficient to allow the students to take full advantage of this opportunity. In order to prepare students for todays job market, they need to experience a more in-depth and hands-on study of the techniques than is possible in the current time allotted in the afterschool setting. C. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES Expand the afterschool program to provide additional time for students to develop skill and work with the equipment. This would take additional funds and possibly additional staff to implement. \u0026gt; The alternatives were generated and analyzed through discussion with teachers, the principal, liaison of New Futures, assistant superintendent and the Director of Reading. The decision of continuing business as usual was found to be unacceptable in view of the needs of the students and their interest in this activity. D. RECOMMENDATION The recommendation is to implement one section of (30 students) the course. Writing and Reporting TV News, at Southwest Junior High beginning with the 1996-97 school year for the purpose of training in an area of proven interest of the students there. This course will be offered to Sth and 9th grade students. The afterschool club activity will be continued. sc o Ji I I The recommendation is cost efficient since no additional expenditures are expected prior to implementation. E. OBJECTIVE The recommendation of implementing the Video Writing course at Southwest Junior High is to provide a unique experience for at-risk students. The course offers hands-on activities that are directly connected to real world experiences. The skills and techniques the students will learn are appropriate for middle-level educational programming. The knowledge of writing and communication skills gained through this course will enable students to approach future employment with an extra measure of confidence. This course as implemented according to the recommendation will support all district goals. It also supports the new Arkansas Department of Education Standards for Accreditation. The I IO ut n 9 E 3 Ir I w course is designed to provide for developmentally appropriate learning experiences. This course provides mastery in specific core concepts and abilities in the following areas: H TOOLS FOR LEARNING - Data gathering and technical skills. LANGUAGE ARTS - Writing and listening and speaking. FINE ARTS - Visual arts using technology (picture composition, framing movements). P P This course addresses components of the core curriculum. It will enhance learning for students at Southwest in developing life skills. As the course itself becomes an information conduit for schools at large, all students at the school will benefit from the enhanced communication activities. It will serve as a new median for students to learn and share their learning. It will generally expand the learning opportunities provided to the students at Southwest Junior High. I I P R F. IMPACT ANALYSIS R Implementation of the course would provide students with knowledge, skill and hands-on experience. Since the course is expected to be one of high interest, all students may not be able to participate. R G. RESOURCES ANALYSIS R Personnel Analysis: No additional staff will be required. Current personnel involved in the afterschool video program will assume the staff position. R Financial Analysis: The supplies for the course, which will include video tapes and camera batteries, will come from the schools operating budget. Equipment needed for the course is currently in place. H R H. FORCE FIELD ANALYSIS R The existing staff, administration and students will be the primary supporters of the recommendation for implementing this course. Because of the extraordinary opportunities this course provides for Southwest students, no opposition is anticipated. B I. GENERAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1. Spring 1996 - B Provide staff, students and parents with an overview of the new course, complete with descriptions and explanations of the many opportunities and skills available to those who elect to participate. I B  4 I Distribute, in written form, class expectations and other pertinent information to students for consideration before completing selection forms for the following year. 2. Summer 1996- Publicize the course and solicit support from the Southwest Partners in Education (KTHV Channel 11). 1 Arrange for community participation in the form of speakers who are already involved in the careers closely aligned with the course. 3. Fall 1996 - Implement the course. TIMELINE TASK rI!

The purpose of this Business Case is to examine the need and justification to provide automation of the process currently performed by department employees. The process of procuring substitutes is a labor- intensive, repetitious job which is appropriately suited to automation given today's computers and their capabilities. M B n An automated, computer-based system, known as Substitute Teacher Management System (STMS) is commercially available and can be purchased on a lease-purchase agreement which, with no initial outlay of cash, would result in a five-year savings of approximately $78,000 and annual savings of $28,000 thereafter. The savings to the District will result from eliminating one full-time position. Ultimately, a half-time reduction in the second position. Automation will also enhance the District's ability to secure substitutes in a timely, effective manner and to provide reports as to usage of substitutes, absenteeism by school, group, etc. 11 M H R Background H The S.O.S. is staffed by two employees, a Coordinator and an Assistant Coordinator. These two employees are long-term employees of the District and rely heavily on their experience and thorough knowledge to effectively perform the duties of the positions. Essentially, their job is to receive recorded messages from teachers, aides, and other employees who call to report an absence of one or more days. Once the calls are received, the S.O.S. employees attempt to obtain substitutes by calling individuals who have applied for a substitute position. Using their personal knowledge and file cards, they determine which substitute is qualified, available, and willing to work in the particular vacancy. Complicating this process are teacher preferences for certain substitutes, substitutes' preferences for particular schools, days of the week, and class assignments. B B B B B B B Bp n I Substitute Office Automation Business Case 2 Phone calls are placed by the two employees until adequate substitutes are obtained or the list of available substitutes is exhausted. All of this work is done in a compact time period in order that the substitutes are in place in time for the beginning of school each day. On average, there is a daily requirement for approximately two hundred (200) substitutes. Although some substitutes are carried over from one day to the next, it may be necessary to call as many as 500 persons in any one day to obtain the number of substitutes required to affect a full complement of staff. Currently, the success of obtaining substitutes rests with the skills and knowledge which has built up over the years by these two employees. A protracted absence, transfer, resignation, or retirement of either or both of these employees would create a vacuum that would be extremely difficult to fill. However, an automatic system would work continuously, without fail, until all vacancies are filled. \u0026gt;\u0026amp; E os* do Problem Definition I I-I\n There needs to be some assurance that substitutes will be procured in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner that does not rely soley on the expertise of two individuals. Given the importance and uniqueness of procuring substitutes in a short window of opportunity, it becomes increasingly important to utilize readily available automated resources which can perform the same functions in a tireless, efficient manner with minimal input. H Analysis of Alternatives (H ii The District must now decide if it is to continue the current methodology for procuring substitutes or if a new automated process is the methodology of the future. I   CJ The alternatives available to the District are\n1. Continue the current methodology. This approach has worked relatively well for several years. The downside to continuing this approach is that it is heavily dependent on the knowledge and expertise of the two current employees who handle the work. The cost to the District is approximately $51,000, which includes wages, benefits, phones, equipment and supplies. f I I I IJI 1 r B Substitute Office Automation Business Case 3 B 2. Automate the system. The automation can be accomplished with the purchase of a system consisting of computers and software capable of doing the manual phoning of substitutes, recording the absences, and preparing the required documentation. The cost to the District is a one-time purchase cost of approximately $32,000 with annual costs of approximately $6,000 for items such as additional phone lines and technical support. B B B j Recommendation It is recommended that the District, through the usual bidding process, enter into a contract to purchase, on a lease-purchase agreement, an automated system for the purpose of procuring substitutes for the District. There are vendors, such as Telecommunications Support Systems, Inc., who have installed this system in over 200 school districts ranging in size from 300 teachers to 13,000 teachers. The systems are customized to meet the specific needs of the District and, in addition to providing the call-in provisions, also provide payroll link-ups for payroll submissions. B B B Under a lease/purchase plan, there is no initial outlay of District funds and the cost savings generated will exceed the amounts paid for the system. Anticipated annual savings is approximately $18,000 after the system is purchased. B B Objective B The objective of this recommendation is to help the District to cut costs while assuring that substitutes are procured in an effective, efficient, and timely manner. By automating the system, there will be greater assurances of continuity and consistency of service without depending on human traits. R This proposal supports the District's goals in that it will assure that substitutes will be provided for the classroom, thus assuring continuity of instruction for the students.  B The following criteria may be used in determining the success of the recommendation:  1 I I 1. Immediate cost savings to the District. 2. Effective procurement of substitutes will be evident. 3. Employee satisfaction in that Principals will be assured of consistency in providing substitutes, and substitutes will be assured of fairness in job assignments. n B  BR Substitute Office Automation Business Case 4 4. The District will be assured of providing substitutes without being concerned with absenteeism of the current S.O.S. employees. Impact Analysis 1. Program. The District is aware that anytime new technology is introduced, especially to the detriment of human headcount, there is a negative reaction. Change is always viewed with caution and wariness. Negatives: a. Employees will have to learn a new system for reporting \u0026gt; e. e. o s Positives: their absences. b. Long-term employees of the S.O.S. office will eventually be displaced or reduced in contract hours. c. The automated system is impersonal and will be different than a human voice contact for substitutes. d. As with any automated system, idiosyncrasies of individuals will not be accounted for when assigning substitutes. a. The system will work tirelessly until all substitutes are procured or the list of substitutes is exhausted. b. The system is not subject to absenteeism and is available 24-hours per day, 365 days per year. c. Reports will be automatic for reporting absences by school, by individual, etc. d. An excellent cost-savings will result. r 2. Desegregation Plan. This program will not have a negative impact on the Desegregation Plan. In fact, it will ensure that all schools are staffed in an equal, unbiased manner with qualified substitutes. 3. Court Order. There are no Court orders that address this issue. 4. Political Factors. Some teachers or substitutes may complain, initially, due to the changes that will occur with a new and impersonal system being implemented. The vendor will provide a considerable amount of training on the new system. There will be an immediate cost savings to the District, and the District's fiscal responsibility will be immediately evident. I Ki w I Jr B Substitute Office Automation Business Case 5 B 5. Risk. By implementing the recommendation, the immediate risk will involve employees and substitutes who do not properly utilyze the service will result in uncovered classes. B B By not implementing the recommendation, the District remains at the mercy of the skills of the two current employees. 6. Timing. B The program shall be implemented immediately upon acceptance of this Business Case. Estimated installation and training time is approximately sixty (60) days from commitment to the program. H Resource Analysis B Personnel. employee. Financial. The projected impact will be an immediate reduction of one B A five year savings of approximately $78,000 will result with implementation. This savings is calculated on the lease purchase of the complete system along with the reduction of one employee. B Force Field Analysis B Primary supporters of this recommendation will be those directly affected by its implementation. Building principals will be assured of timely replacements for absences. Teachers may utilize the automated services round-the-clock. Substitutes will be assured of consistent, fair assignments. The Business Office employees will receive accurate, timely payroll information. B B Possible detractors might be those who naturally fear change. Also, the system assumes utilization of push button telephones, so the few employees without push button phones will have to make an adjustment in how they report.  Any negative reaction can be minimized by up-front communications and complete training on the new system. The strongest statement in favor of the recommendation is that service will improve while providing a savings to the District. B B B B K nSubstitute Office Automation Business Case 6 General Implementation Plan The implementation plan would begin immediately upon acceptance of the recommendation. Installation of hardware and software would take approximately thirty days with an additional thirty days for training of all users of the system. Installation of the software includes setting the parameters for the system which are unique to our school district. Training will include sending letters to all involved employees, training site representatives, and training an operator. To assure continuity of the current level of service, the current process will be maintained in parallel with the new system being installed and implemented. \u0026gt; c. \u0026amp; o s J[ o ^1 I o JJ ,1 1r 0 Substitute Office Automation Business Case 7 n II PROJECTED 5-YEAR COSTS System Extra Phone lines 32,000 12,000 p Technical support/Service 18,000 L J Total SAVINGS Salary (incl. benefits) 62,000 140,000 NET SAVINGS (5 years) 78,000 R II II H M M H H  n n   REXECUTIVE SUMMARY H II II II II N II H H II ri ri ri ri ri BUSINESS CASE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION 1996 If our youth are to be afforded the best possible chance for success in the workplace, systematic and collaborative change in our educational system is imperative. Employers continue to express the fact that they want more than just the traditional academic and technical preparation. They want workers who possess general workplace competencies, can communicate effectively, solve complex problems, work in a team. understand the underlying scientific principles of technology and understand the valve of lifelong learning. Recent federal legislation. particularly the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990, and the School-To-Work Opportunities Act of 1994 have provided the impetus for the systematic and collaborative efforts needed to meet the challenge of this change. Under the Carl D. program is funded, by Act 980 by 1991. Perkins legislation. the Tech Prep Education Tech Prep in the State of Arkansas is mandated The Tech Prep curriculum was initially put into place in the Little Rock School District during the 1993-94 school year. The purpose of Tech Prep is to better prepare students for the changing demands of the workplace through a combination of strong academic and technical skills training program for entry-mid level employment. To do so means having a strong curriculum as well as high tech equipment to train our students. Several courses in vocational education continue to experience low enrollment due, in part, to scheduling conflicts relative to graduation requirements and/or lack of time in their daily schedule for elective courses. While some courses may need to be eliminated or placed on an every other year \"rotation\" basis. the District must use caution to not eliminate courses that are \"capstone\" or completer courses for mandated Tech Prep programs of study. Under Act 969 of 1993, students who graduate after May, 1997, shall have successfully completed either the college preparatory curriculum or the technical core curriculum (Tech Prep). core Tech Prep is an especially promising vehicle for connecting education with work-based learning over a period covering four years of high school and two years of post secondary work or actual The Little Rock School District has articulation apprenticeship. agreements with Pulaski Technical college and ASU-Beebe which gives students who have successfully completed programs of study in Business Education - Computer Technology, Computer-Aided Drafting, Electronics and Automotive Technology up to 20 hours of college credit. Consequently, through Tech Prep, a student has earned a -1- B. B. S' B 11 so o ! .i I I H osr B ^4 I nr high school diploma, a post secondary certificate or an associate degree upon completion of the 4 plus 2 program, and i\nfor more advanced employment and greater opportunities. and is qualified The Tech Prep program was adopted to eliminate the artificial division between \"academic\" and \"vocational\". The competencies of all students in math, communications, science and technology must be raised regardless of whether students are college-bound or workbound according to Tech Prep philosophy. The elimination of a course or courses not affecting a Tech Prep program of study would provide funds to purchase equipment supplies and materials for other courses in order to meet the standards required by the Arkansas Department of Education. Currently, the only business education courses being offered with low student demand are Salesmanship and Entrepreneurship at McClellan Business/Communications Magnet High School. This program has over 30 business education courses which gives students a wide variety from which to select any required options to complete their program of study. Several of these courses could be rotated on a every other year basis and still provide the options needed for Tech at Prep. The course would be based on student demand and magnet program requirements, with this occurrence one FTE position could be eliminated. The business education program at Central High School has experienced low enrollment for the last two years. low student demand does not justify the total number of certified This staff in that department and should be reduced by one FTE. The consumer/Home Economics department at Parkview Arts/Science Magnet and McClellan Business Communications Magnet continues to experience low enrollment. Currently, at Parkview Magnet, there is one FTE home economics teacher which should be reduced to .5 FTE. McClellan has two FTE's which should be reduced to 1.5 FTE indicated by student demand this school year. as Vocational Education is a significant part of a quality high school Tech Prep will prepare our students for the education. technological jobs of the future. Eighty to ninety percent of jobs in the 21st century will require training after high school, but not necessarily a baccalaureate degree. If the Little Rock School District is to continue to provide quality programs that will prepare students to meet the needs of a global society, we must also have in place the equipment and technology required to offer skilled training and experiences for our students. -2- B B p p R H H M II II H  n  n n n np n n A.BACKGROUND II n Vocational Education is designed to provide a program of learning experiences to develop skilled and adaptable workers who are prepared to immediately enter the workforce or pursue additional learning opportunities that will result in more productivity. Students are provided with the opportunity to formulate an understanding of work, work systems, and work ethics\nto explore work choices\nto develop employability skills and attitudes, and to develop specific competencies for a chosen occupation. a a a a Courses offerings are available in all secondary schools in the Little Rock School District and include the following program areas: 1) Business and Marketing Education, 2) Home Economics and 3) Trade and Industrial Technology education. Specialized vocational courses are offered at Metropolitan Area Vocational Center. Vocational Education is an integral part of a quality high school education. Students seeking employment in skilled S. fi. 5 s n  and technical occupations must first develop a strong foundation in general. Furthermore, many students receive real world experiences through the cooperative education work programs and youth apprenticeship program. 11 a Continuous research and evaluation are integral parts of vocational education, including surveys of the need for occupational preparation, surveys of manpower needs, vocational advisory committee recommendations, occupational analyses, and state required student follow-up. a n t n Arkansas, through ACT 980 of 1991, established a Tech Prep curriculum as a parallel pathway to college prep. Its' goal is to produce skilled, work ready entrants to the workforce and post secondary education. The Little Rock School District began its' initial implementation of the Tech Prep initiative beginning the 1993-94 school year. Many changes have been made and capstone or \"completer\" courses have been put in place to provide the linkage needed to have complete programs of study in the home schools. Tech Prep programs of study are available in Consumer Home Economics, Business Education and Marketing and Trade/Industrial Ui. Technology Education. These programs of study allow a student to be employable upon graduation or to continue their post secondary education or training. The new state standards require each school to make available programs of study in three occupational programs. Trade and Industry programs in the home schools are very limited, but because of Metropolitan Area Vocational Center, the trade and industiry training programs offered there are an extension of this program of study. J.' (O I n fl All occupational programs of study consist of the Tech Prep Foundation courses {Career Orientation, Keyboarding, Computer Technology, Personal and Family Life Skills, and Workplace Readiness) as well as four units in the technical specialty. If -3- fl IflOr I  ,1! |li [1 exploratory courses are offered, occupational training must be provided in the appropriate area either in the senior high school or in a state approved vocational center. Presently, beginning in the Sth grade, a student must declare a pathway and outline a program of study (Career Action Plan) to continue through the baccalaureate degree level with exit points at the high school, post secondary certificate, and associate degree levels for students not pursuing university-level study. locked into one pathway or another. Students are not Flexibility is offered that would allow students to change their minds or explore alternative options. B. PROBLEM DEFINITION Continued low enrollment has fostered overstaffing in the home economics and business education program areas in some schools. While trying to remedy this problem the District must use caution. Particular courses are needed on both the junior and senior high level to meet tech prep program requirements. Instructional leaders must be more creative in the planning of their master schedules. In several instances, a .4 or .5 FTE could be assigned to teach 2-3 overflow courses where numbers warrant it rather than one FTE. The following schools have been identified with this problem: 1) Central High School Business Education Department -low enrollment in particular courses. 2) McClellan Business/Communication Magnet Home Economics and Business Education Department -low enrollment in particular courses 3) Parkview Arts/Science Magnet Home Economics Department -consistent low enrollment 4) Work program coordinators are often assigned duty periods to complete their work day. (Study hall, lunch room duty, alternative classroom, attendance office, etc.) C. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES The acceptable alternative is to reduce the recommended FTE's in identified program areas and schools. Many of the certified vocational staff persons have multiple areas of certification and should be assigned to teach additional courses within their areas of competence. The PN agreement will need to be considered with regard to Article XV, Section A which covers teaching assignments. -4- n II H li II n 11 11 II II H H B B B B B B IM H fl fl fl fl fl fl The vocational courses/programs experiencing low enrollments must continue, if eliminating them would significantly decimate a Tech Prep program of study. By the same token, if the reduction of staff would adversely affect the tech prep programs of study then the existing staff should not be reduced. D. RECOMMENDATION E. The Little Rock School District recommends that vocational courses in the home schools not experiencing high student demand be eliminated or offered on rotating basis if it would not negatively impact a Tech Prep program of study. The following Vocational courses have been identified by the vocational director and instructional leader of the identified school. 1) Central High School - Enrollment in business education classes does not warrant 5 FTE's this could be reduced to 4 FTE's through the master scheduling process. 2) McClellan Business/Communications Magnet -Home Economics reduced certified staff from 2 FTE to 1.5 FTE. Business Education - place identified courses on a rotation basis\nstudent selection and magnet requirements will be strongly considered before eliminating or rotating courses . The following courses have been identified for elimination\nEntrepreneurship\nSalesmanship. The Business Education department currently has 8 FTE's - this could be reduced to 7 FTE's through scheduling and yearly rotation of identified courses. 3) Parkview Arts/Science Magnet -Home Economics position reduced to .5 FTE 4) Work program coordinators should be assigned to teach additional courses in which they are currently certified. Guidelines set forth by the State Department of Education, Vocational division will need to be adhered to relative to coop supervision periods. OBJECTIVES 1. Vocational courses with low student enrollment or demand will be eliminated or placed on a yearly rotation basis to facilitate maximum use of required personnel for -5- e\u0026gt;. St Cl s5 1 i r I B identified programs. 2. 11 Vocational personnel will be more appropriately assigned to receive maximum usage of their areas of competence. I H I I  : These objectives support district goals #1-4, which ensure student growth academically, socially, and emotionally, with the guidance and teachings of a well-trained and motivated staff. The end results being students who are valuable resources upon which our community and nation can draw as we prepare for the 21st century. Evaluative Criteria-.

The monitoring is conducted by local biracial committee members and the Planning, Research and Evaluation staff. Each team conducts one school visit each semester using a monitoring instrument developed by the three school districts in Pulaski County, the Arkansas Department of Education, and the Desegregation Assistance Center in San Antonio, Texas. The monitoring instrument and Standard Operating Procedures for Monitoring are provided to principals prior to the visits, with instructions for these instruments to be shared with their school staffs. The visits are scheduled cooperatively with each principal. The teams report semi-annually to the superintendent the progress or lack of progress in the following areas: Equitable Placement by Race and Gender in School Programs Curriculum School/District Initiated Honors/Awards Committees Extracurricular Activities Student Achievement/Assessment Special Education Gifted and Talented Education Staff Development Parental Involvement Student Discipline Building Leadership/ManagementEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 2 Each team, using race and gender as the unit of analysis, reviews a school profile which contains basic information related to current conditions in the monitored areas. The school profile information is verified through the school visit and interviews with school personnel. This report provides a summary of the visits conducted between October 23, 1995 and December 15, 1995. The school reports identify conditions that were evident on the day of the visit. Many acceptable conditions were observed by the monitors during the visits. However, the intent of this report is to identify the degree to which each school is progressing toward the goals of desegregation (See LRSD Desegregation Plan pages 28-29). At the conclusion of each visit, a conference is held with the building principal or designee to review the findings of the team. The principals comments from this conference are included in the reports for clarification. In addition, the Office of Desegregation, through the appropriate central office administrator, provides guidance for corrective actions. Therefore, current conditions may be different.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 3 1.0 EQUITABLE PLACEMENT BY RACE/GENDER IN SCHOOL PROGRAMS At each school the monitors expected to find: Racially balanced (at least 25% black) certified and (at least 25% white) non-certified staff reflects appropriate percentage Racial/Gender Balance (at least 25% black) in staff assignments, programs, content areas, and grade level School enrollment to be within the appropriate racial range for 1994-1995 elementary 40% to 60%, junior high 51.25% to 76.88%, senior high 49.11% to 73.67% Racial/gender enrollment of classrooms and courses to generally reflect the racial/gender composition of the school Racial and gender enrollment of extended educational programs to generally reflect the racial/gender composition of the school Plans to eliminate one-race classes, if one-race classes are identified Class enrollments comply with state standards Strategies to increase the number of minority students in upper level courses/class groups FINDINGS: Area Elementary Schools: Six schools had not attained the goal for equitable staffing. McDermott, Meadowcliff and Otter Creek fell below the staffing goal of at least 25% black certified staff members although McDermott missed this goal by less than 1%. Brady, Jefferson and Pulaski Heights fell below the staffing goal of at least 25% white non-certified staff members, with Jefferson missing the goal by only 1%.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 4 Seven schools, Forest Park, Fulbright, Jefferson, McDermott, Pulaski Heights, Otter Creek and Terry, reflected the acceptable range for black student enrollment for 1995-1996. Eight schools (Brady, Fair Park, Fulbright, Geyer Springs, Mabelvale, Pulaski Heights, Otter Creek and Terry) had class enrollments that did not reflect the racial/ethnic composition of the school. Fair Park had six of 15 classes out of range. Geyer Springs kindergarten was out of range. Pulaski Heights 4th grade and Otter Creeks 3rd grade were out of range. A one-race special education class was found at Geyer Springs where 11 black students were enrolled. Response from Principal(s)\nThe Jefferson principal reported that two black certified staff members have been added during the current academic year. The Meadowcliff principal explained that all efforts are being made to recruit black certified staff. The Fair Park principal indicated that strategies were being implemented to address disproportionate enrollments which included teacher recruitment teams and parent involvement activities to market the school. The Forest Park principal requested principals have more input into determining class size, pending needs of students and circumstances unique within a building at particular times. The Fulbright principal stated that classroom assignments are based on three factors: class size at each grade level, distribution of class by race and distribution among classes by gender. The Geyer Springs principal noted thatEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 5 openings in kindergarten are filled by the student assignment office with regard to total kindergarten racial composition, but not individual kindergarten black/white enrollment. The Pulaski Heights principal stated that the school staff does not assign students to the school. However, all but two of the 4th graders were there last year. The Otter Creek principal said that when the school year started, classes were balanced based on percent in each grade level. When students move in and out of the school, it is difficult to control the class racial composition. Original Magnet Elementary Schools: The composition of the school staff (certified and non-certified members) was adequate to ensure student contact with varied staff personnel at Williams. At Booker, 6% of the non-certified staff were white. At Gibbs, 13% of the noncertified staff members were white. At Carver, 23% of the certified staff members were black. School enrollments reflected the racial composition prescribed by the court- approved desegregation plan. Class enrollments generally reflected the racial/ethnic composition of the school at all four schools. Principals provided strategies used to balance class enrollments. No one-race classes were reported at any of these schools. Response from Principal(s): The principal from Carver said that according to the PN agreement, she had to use the transfer file in filling open positions. There were only whiteEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 6 teachers in this file. Therefore, she had no options to hire anyone other than a teacher from this file. Interdistrict Elementary Schools: King, Romine and Washington attained the goal for equitable staffing for certified staff members. The goal for non-certified staff was not achieved. Noncertified staff was 18% white at King, 24% white at Romine, and 14% white at Washington which was not very different from last years equity report. The school enrollment at Romine and Washington did not reflect the racial composition prescribed for the interdistrict schools. Washington had four classes out of range. No one-race classes were observed. Response from Principal(s): None Area Junior High Schools: Forest Heights, Mabelvale and Southwest attained the equitable staffing goal. The non-certified staff at Cloverdale was 11% white and the certified staff at Pulaski Heights was 22% black. The school enrollment at Cloverdale and Southwest did not reflect the racial composition prescribed for area junior high schools. None of the schools had class enrollments that reflected the ethnic composition of the school population. Principals provided strategies to eliminate disproportionate class/course enrollments. One-race classes were reported at Cloverdale, Mabelvale, andEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE? Pulaski Heights. Response from Principal(s): The Forest Heights principal said some classes are disproportionate due to the low test scores of students. Students scoring low on Stanford 8 will be enrolled in classes to improve their skills in a specific subject. Original Magnet Junior High School: The equitable staffing goal was attained at Mann. The 53% black student enrollment was within the range approved by the Court. Sixty-five percent of the classes did not generally reflect the ethnic population of the school. The principal provided strategies to eliminate disproportionate class/course enrollments. There were no one-race classes reported. Response from Principal: None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Dunbar and Henderson attained the equitable staffing goal for certified staff. The goal for non-certified was not attained at Dunbar where only 18% of noncertified employees are white. The school population at Dunbar and Henderson reflected the acceptable range of 40% to 60% black. Approximately 64% of the classes at Dunbar and 28% of the classes at Heiiderson did not reflect the school population. The principals provided strategies to eliminate disproportionate class/course enrollments. Four one-race classes were reported at Dunbar.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 8 Response from Principal(s): None Alternative Learning Center: The ALC did not attain the equitable staffing goal for non-certified positions with only 11% white personnel. School enrollment was 89% black. Classes generally reflected the ethnicity of the student population. No one-race classes were observed. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools: Fair and Hall attained the equitable staffing goal. School enrollments at both schools reflected the acceptable range of 49.11% - 73.67%. Class/course enrollments did not generally reflect the composition of the student population at either school. Fair reported 39% of their classes were over or under-represented by blacks, and Hall had 41% of their classes out of compliance. Fifteen one-race classes existed at Hall. Written strategies to eliminate disproportionate classes were provided. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Senior High School: Parkview attained the equitable staffing goal. Fifty-two percent of theEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 9 student population was black. Forty-nine percent of classes were above or below the acceptable range for black student enrollment. Three one-race classes were reported which included eight white students in a German class and six black students in a Language Plus II class. There were 18 black students in kindergarten. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools with Magnet Programs: The composition of the school staff at Central and McClellan met the goal for certified and non-certified personnel. Central's school enrollment was 63% black and within the prescribed range of 49.11% - 73.67%. McClellan did not meet this goal with an 80% black enrollment. Class/course enrollments did not reflect the composition of the student body. Seventy-six percent of the classes at Central and 25% of the classes at McClellan were over or under the acceptable range. The principals provided strategies to eliminate disproportionate classes and the 19 one-race classes at Central and the four one-race classes at McClellan. Response from Principal(s): None Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center: Metropolitan did not achieve the staffing goal for certified or non-certifiedEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 10 staff. Staff included 22% certified black staff and 20% non-certified white staff. The school population was 50% black. There were no one-race classes reported. Response from Principal: None 2.0 CURRICULUM At each school the monitors expected to find: Implementation of a culturally diverse, scoped, sequenced, multicultural, interdisciplinary and bias free LRSD curriculum Interaction among students promoted by classroom seating patterns An adequacy of materials and equipment to support the prescribed curriculum (Adequacy - can you implement the curriculum with what you have) Varied teaching strategies reflected by display of student work Current and complete documentation of student progress. Teachers demonstrating use of multiculturally infused curriculum Students participating in heterogeneous groups to allow for cross racial interaction Displays of bulletin boards, materials, and publications that reflect the cultural diversity of the student population and/or multiculturalism FINDINGS: Area Elementary Schools: In all twenty-three (23) area elementary schools most of the teachers said that materials and equipment were adequate for curriculum delivery. Some teachers at Brady School needed more spelling and reading instructional material.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 11 Also at Brady School, it was mentioned that more multicultural materials could be used in the library. Some monitored teachers at Dodd Elementary School mentioned that more copy paper was needed and more supplies were needed in the third grade. At Woodruff School, it was reported as it was in a previous school year that more computers in the classrooms would enhance instruction and facilitate the use of ABACUS. It was also reported that some pull-down wall maps of the United States and of the world were needed at Woodruff. At Fair Park School, some monitored teachers said that there were not enough consumable books for new students when they arrive at the school. It was reported that new students had to wait several weeks for these consumable books. At Forest Park School, it was reported that the kindergarten instruction would be enhanced if individual handwriting booklets and mathematics workbooks could be provided. In most of the classrooms monitored, most of the student records were found to be current and complete in all of the area elementary schools. In all of the area elementary schools, most students in the monitored classrooms were actively involved in instruction. Such activities as students participating in a music lesson, marching, clapping hands, pupils in a classroom discussion of a story the teacher had read to the class, creative writing following aEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 12 teacher read story and students working on making a globe were observed.

Some students were observed working on book reports. In all area elementary schools, classroom seating patterns observed promoted interaction among students of different race/gender. In all the area elementary schools bulletin boards, displays of projects, publications, and productions throughout the school including the media centers reflected the racial/ethnic/gender differences of the student body and/or multiculturalism. Examples of this were \"Christmas Around the World,\" Egyptian, European, African-American and American Indian cultures, and a poster with the theme \"We are all children under the same sky.\" At Fulbright School, there was a commercial poster observed promoting achievement with only white students depicted. In most of the area elementary classrooms visited, a reflection of the racial/ethnic and gender differences of the student body and/or multiculturalism was observed. Some examples were at Otter Creek School a \"Being a Good Neighbor\" bulletin board, at Western Hills School there were pictures of actual students on the honor roll bulletin board, and at McDermott there was a \"Lets Be Friends\" poster. At Forest Park, posters of famous black Americans wereEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 13 observed as well as friends around the world and children of other cultures. In most of these classrooms visited, there were many displays of student work observed. Examples of this at Geyer Springs School were art work on the Thanksgiving theme, graphs, poetry written by students, book report projects, and science experiments. At McDermott School, examples of this were rhyming word papers, time lines of their lives drawn by pupils, art work, and clay pots made by students. However, of the six classrooms monitored at Pulaski Heights Elementary School, there were three teachers who had student work displayed. and three who did not. At Fulbright Elementary, science work, art work. handwriting displays and story maps were in evidence in the visited classrooms. Multicultural objectives of the curriculum guides were being taught in all of these schools visited. At Otter Creek School, astronauts and scientists of the various races were studied. Various multicultural books and materials were being used at Otter Creek. At Geyer Springs School, the students made a tepee and sat in it and read a book about American Indians. At Pulaski Heights Elementary School, the media specialist helped initiate a theme of \"Winter Holidays Around the World.\" She was heard reading a story of the Japanese Winter Holiday to a group of children in the library. Classes at Pulaski Heights Elementary School were observed working on the Kwanza theme and Aesops Fables.

King Tut and Socrates were taught in some rooms. Harriet Tubman and Kachina dolls of the Pueblo Indians were taught in other rooms visited. Response from Principal(s): The Fair Park principal said that with the districts being in difficult financial straits, the LRSD does not routinely send extra books to the school to await the arrival of new students. Original Magnet Elementary Schools: Materials and equipment were reported to be sufficient for curriculum delivery by most monitored teachers. At Carver Magnet School, overhead projectors, computers, and televisions were observed in the visited classrooms. Some visited Carver teachers said that they had gone to various state and local facilities to provide materials for class. Some visited teachers said that all they had to do was ask for materials and equipment, and it was provided. At Williams School, it was reported in some monitored classrooms that more computers were needed. All observed student records were current and complete. In most classrooms visited, all students were actively involved in classroom instruction. At Gibbs School, observed students were actively involved in gardening, small group discussions and question/answer sessions. At Williams School, a sixth grade student was observed reading to a second grade class, andEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 15 the pupils were preparing to write a creative paper about the story. Williams' students were also observed writing book reports, drawing a mural, doing independent study, reading a book about Native Americans, and completing a project about the Pilgrims. In all classrooms visited, seating patterns promoted interaction of the races/genders. Throughout these schools, publications, bulletin boards, and productions reflected the racial/ethnic and gender differences of the student body and/or multiculturalism. At Carver School, there was a display of book reports of the last books read in one classroom visited. A poster was observed of black scientists and inventors in history in another visited classroom. There was another poster observed with the theme that reading opens up new worlds with different cultures pictured around it. At Williams School, international menus were posted for the international food fair. There was a display at Carver School of an American Indian theme exhibited on the bulletin boards throughout the school. A bulletin board in the hallway with student art work was observed as well as a \"Fall into Autumn' bulletin board.

At Williams School, there was a display on China and Japan.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 16 Displays of Egyptian and Indian cultures were noted in the classrooms visited at Booker School. In most classrooms monitored, displays of student work reflecting various teaching strategies were observed. The various resources of the different states were displayed artistically on shoe boxes around a visited classroom at Carver Magnet School. At Williams School, a writers corner in one classroom displayed student writing, test papers, art and mathematics work, and spelling. Multicultural objectives of the curriculum guides were being taught in all classrooms visited at all these schools. In one classroom visited at Carver Magnet School, corn was sprouted the way the native Americans did it. The United Nations and different cultures were studied in another visited classroom at Carver. Three ways of multiplying numbers were studied in another Carver classroom visited: Egyptian doubling, Russian peasant and lattice from India. At Williams Magnet School, units of study on Kenya and China were observed as well as the studying of other lands in a \"Walking in the shoe steps of other people\" theme. Students from Booker Magnet School went to Wildwood Park to performances with a multicultural theme. The media specialists at Booker, Carver and Williams Magnet Schools annually evaluated the adequacy of the multicultural materials in the media collection and continually evaluated new materials to be considered for purchase. There was no answer to this item on the Gibbs Team Consensus report becauseEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 17 it was reported that the media specialist was not in the building on the day of the program for equity monitoring. Response from Principal(s): None Interdistrict Elementary Schools: At King, Romine and Washington Schools, most monitored teachers had adequate materials and equipment to deliver the curriculum. However, at King School computers in some classrooms at one grade level were not functional on the day of the monitoring visit. At Washington School, overhead projectors. televisions and encyclopedias were observed in most of the visited classrooms. and most monitored teachers said that they had adequate materials and equipment. However, a power surge burned out two computers in the media center. These computers needed to be fixed, and a CD drive computer was needed. At Washington School, it was also reported that there were certain experiments to do in the science curriculum. A problem was that no one prepared materials for the science experiments. Two visited classrooms needed encyclopedias. At Washington School, it was reported that the LRSD had a policy that computers in the laboratory cannot be moved to the classroom. It was noted that Washington School was a big school with many students. Yet, rather routinely the same amount of materials was sent to Washington as a smaller school with fewerEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 18 pupils. Most observed records were current and complete at these schools. However, at Washington School, one visited teacher had no grade book at the school. At these schools, all observed students were actively involved in classroom instruction. Some visited teachers were observed asking questions, with the students answering questions. ABACUS testing was observed. In most classrooms observed, students of both races and genders were observed seated together. However, in one monitored classroom at King School, when the students were allowed to work in groups, the equity monitor noted that one small group consisted of three white students. All monitors reported observing an abundance of multicultural displays throughout the schools on bulletin boards, displays of projects, publications and productions. Multiculturalism was reflected in all classrooms visited in these schools. At Washington School, Caddo and Quapaw Indians of Arkansas displays, student art work with multicultural aspects, and a bulletin board display of the Central High School crisis were observed. In all monitored classrooms, numerous displays of student work were evident. Examples of this were pictures drawn by students, writing samples, and seed planting systems. At all three of these schools, it was reported that the multicultural objectivesEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 19 of the curriculum guides were taught. Some examples of this were integration and Chinese writing. At King School, the media specialist reported that the budget was increased this year and the multicultural media collection was increased. It was reported to be continually evaluated. The library media specialist at Romine School was sensitive to the need to include multicultural materials in the holdings. Moreover, there was sufficient evidence in the files to support this conclusion. A book order with multicultural materials such as American Indians was seen at Washington Elementary. Response from Principal(s): The principal from King School commented that computers in the first grade classrooms have been temporarily inoperative at times this school year. The situation has been closely monitored. Repairs were in progress on the day of the monitoring visit. Area Junior High Schools: Four of the five schools, Cloverdale, Mabelvale, Pulaski Heights and Southwest, had adequate materials and equipment to deliver the curriculum. The ninth grade English Department at Forest Heights Junior High School needed 50 textbooks for all students to have one book. Teachers visited in the science department at Forest Heights needed hands-on projects materials to supplement the textbooks.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 20 At Mabelvale Junior High School, a science laboratory room was badly needed, as well as additional science equipment. It was reported that the LRSD Science supervisor was quite helpful in seeing that supplementary science materials were provided. Teachers at Mabelvale spent personal funds for materials. English classes at this school needed more current reading materials which contained extensive multicultural selections. All records observed at these schools were current and complete. In four (Cloverdale, Mabelvale, Pulaski Heights and Southwest) of five of these junior high schools, all observed students were actively involved in classroom instruction. However, at Forest Heights Junior High School, in some classrooms visited the students were not actively involved with such activities going on as throwing of spit wads, talking, playing around, and moving around in the room. In these rooms it appeared that the students did whatever they wanted to do. apparently without teacher direction. Most observed classroom seating patterns promoted interaction among students of different race/gender in all of these junior high schools. The Mabelvale Junior High School media center was equipped with a computer/CD/ROM that has SIRS available and offers multicultural research capability for students. Mabelvale Junior High School has completed all of the requirements to become a GLOBE school and will be the only such school in the LRSD. GLOBEEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 21 is a worldwide science and education program coordinating the work of students, teachers, and scientists to study and understand the global environment. GLOBE is an international partnership, involving countries around the world. Wal-Mart-Geyer Springs donated a Zoomfax Modem/External/v.32 bis computer modem, cable and phone cable that will assist Mabelvale Junior High School to have an Internet connection for the GLOBE program. SECME, Science Engineering, Communication, and Mathematics Enrichment, a new program being implemented at Mabelvale Junior High School, gave a grant of $500 to the school to cover the cost of a dedicated phone line ($38/month). The media specialist has been instrumental in securing these donations for an INTERNET connection. Response from Principal(s): The Forest Heights Junior High School Principal said that the problem with the lack of materials in the two departments was evidently the result of a communication problem between the two department chairs and him. He said that he would meet with the department chairs of English and science to rectify the shortage of materials. Magnet Junior High School: All interviewed teachers at Mann Junior High School said that materials and eguipment were adequate. All records observed were current and complete. Most observed students were working in groups and participating in discussions. All observed classroom seating patterns were adequate to promote interactionEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 22 among students of different race/gender. Bulletin boards throughout the school and displays were reported by all the monitors to be multicultural. All visited classrooms displayed multicultural materials. Monitors observed student work displayed in all visited classrooms. Examples of this were mathematics projects, science displays, and biographies of scientists of different cultures. Multicultural objectives were reflected in the student work displayed. Multicultural objectives were observed in lesson plans. The media specialist evaluated multicultural materials in the media collection. Teachers were encouraged to recommend new multicultural materials for purchase. The media specialist said that an intensive effort was being made to purchase more materials on Asian and Hispanic populations. Response from Principal: None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Although at Dunbar and Henderson Junior High Schools most classrooms visited had adequate materials and equipment, the Henderson choir was reported to need more money in the budget for sheet music which costs $1.25 for one sheet of music. All observed student records at these two schools were current and complete.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 23 At Henderson, in most classrooms visited, all students were actively involved in classroom instruction. Dunbar students were observed working in groups, participating in discussions, taking a test, watching an overhead transparency presentation and watching an educational film. In most classrooms visited at these two schools, the seating patterns promoted interaction among students of different race/gender. Posters and bulletin boards throughout Dunbar and Henderson reflected the racial/ethnic/ gender differences of the student body and/or multiculturalism. In all monitored classrooms, there were displays of multicultural materials. At Henderson, different countries were reflected in an observed bulletin board. Flamingo dancing was a theme for another observed bulletin board at Henderson. In most monitored classrooms at Dunbar, there was a display of student work.

Although posters of students work were displayed in one visited Henderson classroom, in most monitored rooms there was not a display of pupil work. At Henderson Junior High School, pictures of the different cultures were observed in the visited classrooms. It was reported that discussions of the accomplishments and music of the different races and cultures occurred. At Dunbar Junior High School, in most classrooms visited, multicultural objectives of the curriculum guides were taught. In one Dunbar mathematics classroom monitored, the teacher said that there was nothing multicultural to teach butEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 24 Arabic numbers, an obvious difference from the reality of the curriculum guides for mathematics which were replete with multicultural objectives. Multicultural objectives were observed in the lesson plan books of the other Dunbar monitored teachers. Many multicultural displays were observed in the media center at Henderson. It was reported that the media specialist annually evaluated the adequacy of multicultural materials in the Henderson media collection and continually evaluated new materials to be considered for purchase. One visited teacher at Dunbar said that the media center materials needed multicultural updating. On the day of the monitoring visit, the library staff was in the process of making an order of multicultural materials. It was reported that in order to get ready to make this order, evaluation of the adequacy of the multicultural materials occurred.

Multicultural objectives of the curriculum guides were being taught in the majority of the classrooms visited. This Alternative Learning Center (ALC) site is without a library/media center. However, the English teacher and principal worked closely together in annually evaluating the adequacy of multicultural materials in the media collection, and they continually evaluated new materials to be considered for purchase. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools: Televisions, puzzles, manipulatives and numeral cards were observed in the visited classrooms at Fair High School. Although most of the visited teachers at Hall High School had adequate materials and equipment to deliver the curriculum, one teacher said that the budget for their department was cut in half this semester. However, this teacher said that mini-grants have been provided by the PTSA to fund the purchase of additional materials and equipment. All records observed at these schools were current and complete. All observed students in the visited classrooms were listening, asking questions or quietly working at computer stations in both of these schools.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 26 In all classrooms visited, the seating patterns promoted interaction among students of different race/gender. At Fair High School, bulletin boards were observed with pictures of black students and white students throughout the school. In the media center there were posters depicting multiculturalism. All monitors at Hall High School said that multicultural displays were evident throughout the school. At Fair High School, there were two monitored classrooms with no displays reflecting racial/ethnic/gender differences of the pupils. The monitors at Hall High School observed multicultural bulletin boards in all monitored classrooms. Multicultural objectives were observed in lesson plans and reflected in displays at Hall High School. Stories dealing with the various cultures were told in one monitored classroom at Fair High School. In one visited class, the teacher emphasized the differences in business of the various cultures. In another classroom at Fair, it was explained how different kinds of families were found in the different cultures. The Scottish culture was being studied in one class. At Hall High School, student and teacher recommendations for new multicultural materials were encouraged. The Hall media specialist evaluated these requests and the holdings to purchase needed books and materials as needs changed. Many and varied cultures were observed on display in the book holdings at Fair High School. New books with multicultural themes were observed beingEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 27 displayed. A library staff member said that the adequacy of multicultural materials in the media collection was annually evaluated. Response from Principal(s): The Hall High School principal said that the budget for the current school year was determined before she became principal. Original Magnet Senior High School: A majority of the teachers interviewed reported having adequate materials and equipment. However, it was reported that some new band instruments were needed, and some sheet music and a CD/cassette player/recorder were needed for choral music. According to the teacher, additional funds were needed to purchase videotapes for the Theater History course. All monitored records were current and complete. In all classes visited, all students were actively involved in instruction. Examples were: practicing for a band program, individual students reading parts of a play, testing, classroom discussion and teacher explanations. In all but one of the monitored classrooms, the monitors observed that classroom seating patterns promoted interaction among students of different race/gender. Monitors also observed that bulletin boards, displays of projects. publications, and productions throughout the school including the media center reflected the racial/ethnic/gender differences of the student body and/or multiculturalism. Examples were: a poster with a theme of blacks in the arts, andEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 28 murals on the walls.

The composition of the parent committees was not reflective of the school population at Badgett, Brady, Fair Park, Fulbright, Mabelvale, Meadowcliff, Otter Creek, and Western Hills. Employee committees were not reflective of the staff population at Meadowcliff. There was no information reported for employee committees at Fair Park. The school profile at Chicot did not contain information on committees. However, the Chicot principal assured monitors that employee and parent committees are reflective of the school population. The 23% black parent representation on committees was not within range for Terry Elementary School. The school profile at Pulaski Heights Elementary showed that 33% of parent committee members were black. This percentage was not within the expected range of 35%- 53% black parents for the school. The participation rate for blackEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 39 parents at Watson was below the expected range. Response from Principal(s): The principal at Badgett said that district required guidelines for parent committees have been followed. The principal assured monitors at Terry that the school staff will continue to work to increase black parent participation at Terry. Original Magnet Elementary Schools: Appointed school-based committees were generally reflective of the applicable populations at Booker, Gibbs, and Williams.

These goals and strategies part of each schools improvement plan. Some schools mentioned specific are strategies during the monitoring interview. Pulaski Heights said that they pair more talented students with less talented students for teaching skills. Teachers ask questions after every lesson expecting that all students would be ready toEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 51 answer correctly. Reteaching occurred for those who did not. Another strategy they used was to offer enrichment periods. At Terry, students who needed extra help were identified, a special records folder was created and individualized help was provided. Cloverdale chose the primary grades to highlight in closing disparity. Teachers will concentrate on those skills that were not mastered. Fulbright students with special needs are targeted. Special work is given to low achieving students. A personal plan was written for each one of these students. One-on-one remedial help was given. Otter Creek uses small group instruction, and \"Reading Recovery.\" The staff reported keeping in close contact with parents to seek their help.in education. Peer helpers were used. All test scores used in this report are the result of comparisons between Spring, 1994 and Spring, 1995. All schools had mixed results. Otter Creek and Terry were the only schools who achieved the goal in the monitoring report. Test data from Badgett Elementary evidenced an improvement for white students from Grades 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 5 to 6. Scores for black students decreased in Grades 1 to 2 and 4 to 5. White student scores decreased in Grades 1 to 2. The Stanford achievement results from Bale showed percentile scores for white students decreasing from Grades 2 to 3. Both black and white student scores decreased. Other scores remained stable.

Also the reporting of retention is based on the number of retentions within the particular school and do not necessarily imply the number of retentions made by a particular school. Elementary schools which fall into the acceptable range of black retention are Bale, Brady, Dodd, Geyer Springs, Jefferson, Wakefield Response from Principal(s)\nand Wilson. The Pulaski Heights principal stated that \"The test scores do not always show that we receive many new students at the school every year.\" The Forest Park principal said, \"When analyzing achievement on the Stanford 8, it is important to consider the frequent turnover of black students, which greatly contributes to fluctuating test scores. Black students are assigned to Forest Park from all areas of Little Rock and from the Pulaski Original Magnet Elementary Schools: County District.\" At Booker, scores for white students increased from Grades 3 to 4 and scores for black students increased from Grades 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 5 to 6. Scores for both groups decreased from Grades 1 to 2 and 4 to 5. The principal reported that schoolwide, there was over a 5% increase in the number of students in the upper two quartiles on the Stanford 8 last spring. In three of five cohort groups. Carver students lost in score on the scoring Complete Battery of Stanford 8. The principal reported that overall fewer students were in the lower quartile and more students scored above the 50th percentileEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 55 when comparisons were made between 1994 and 1995. Gibbs scores indicated increased achievement for black students in Grades 3 to 4. They showed a decrease from Grades 4 to 5. Achievement results for white students decreased from Grades 2 to 3 and 4 to 5. Williams School scores noted that total achievement at all grade levels except the third grade was at the 78th percentile or higher on the Spring, 1995 Stanford 8. Total achievement at the third grade was at the 69th percentile. All student scores increased or remained stable except at the third grade where black student scores decreased. Disparities were as follows: Grade 1: -14 Grade 3\n-31 Grade 5: -26 I Grade 2: -11 Grade 4: -15 Grade 6: -17 Carver. Gibbs and Williams were within the acceptable range of student retention. Response from Principal(s)\nThe Booker principal said that some parents requested retention for their children rather than send them to summer school. The Carver principal said that the magnet schools were asked to make a proposal to improve the environment of the school. Every teacher has listed technology development as a priority. The principals recommendation was also to improve computer technology. The magnet school review committee said that there has been no increase in budget for the magnet school in the last six years. Research shows that computers wereEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 56 good at helping at-risk students to close that gap in achievement disparity. The extended evaluation was being used to pitch computers, staff development in use of computers and new software as essential tools for learning in the 199Os. Interdistrict Elementary Schools: Washington attained the goal for assessment. At King, white student achievement increased from Grades 4 to 5 and decreased from Grades 2 to 3. All other scores remained stable. Strategies to improve scores were found in the school improvement plans. Washington mentioned some additional strategies. It was reported that all teachers were being inserviced on test scores. They were looking at the Fall, 1995 scores and they were entering low test objective areas in their teachers handbook. There was a hands-on science program at this school. Science laboratory situations were based on deficit areas on the Stanford Test. The grade level teachers met to discuss different discrepancies students had. Comprehension materials were used to help reading scores and context clues were taught. Romine was within the acceptable range for black student retention. Response from Principal(s): The principal added that modifications in student testing below grade level on Stanford 8 are in place in each classroom. Area Junior High Schools: None of these schools attained the student assessment goal. ForestEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 57 Heights eighth and ninth grade test results did not meet the criteria. Black student scores dropped from the 43rd percentile in Grade 7 in 1994 to the 29th percentile in Grade 8 in 1995 which is a significant drop. In comparisons between 1994 and 1995, Mabelvales scores were generally favorable. Grade 7 in 1994 to Grade 7 in 1995 and Grade 9 in 1994 to Grade 9 in 1995 showed total scores of both black and white students were higher. In comparison of the two eighth grades, black student scores remained stable while white student scores decreased. At Pulaski Heights, Grades 7 to 8 scores for black students decreased by five percentile points. All other scores remained stable. White student scores in Southwests Grade 8 dropped from the 60th to the 43rd percentile. Cloverdales scores improved from Grade 8 in 1994 to Grade 8 in 1995. In all other instances white achievement decreased. Achievement also decreased from Grade 9 in 1994 to Grade 9 in 1995. On the Complete Battery, disparities were as follows\nGrade 7: -18 Grade 8: -22 Grade 9\n-8 Only Cloverdale fell within their acceptable range for student retention. Testing strategies were found in the school improvement plans. However, Forest Heights teachers reported teaching higher level thinking skills and analogies to students. Some special writing assignments were developed to solve this problem. One teacher reported that small group work was used to deal withEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 58 achievement differences. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Junior High School: When test results on the Complete Battery were compared, Mann white student scores decreased by six percentile points between 7th grade scores of 1994 and 1995. Black student scores increased from Spring, 1994 to Spring, 1995 in Grades 8 and 9 by five percentile points. Response from Principal: None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Dunbar did not meet the goal as determined by the desegregation plan. In Grades 8 and 9 Stanford 8 scores for black students declined from 1994 to 1995. Henderson did meet the guidelines. Black students in the seventh grade in 1994 scored the 34th percentile and in 1995 scored the 35th percentile. The white student cohort group in seventh grade significantly improved their scores.

Students are not retained at the ALC but rather at their home school. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools: Neither Fair nor Hall reached the goal in student testing. At Fair, both black and white student cohort groups lost significant percentile points between 1994 and 1995. From 10th grade in 1994 to 11th grade in 1995 black student scores decreased from the 37th percentile to the 27th percentile and white student scores decreased from the 63rd percentile to the 55th percentile. At Hall, Grade 10 to 11 achievement decreased for both subgroups. Fair was within their acceptable range for retention. Hall was not. Once again, acceptable ranges differ from school to school and some of the retention may have been made at another school. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Senior High School: Parkview did not meet the criteria for student assessment.

Materials were reported to be adequate at 16 schools (Bale, Baseline, Chicot, Forest Park, Fulbright, Geyer Springs, Mabelvale, McDermott, Meadowcliff, Otter Creek, Pulaski Heights Elementary, Terry, Wakefield, Watson, Wilson, and Woodruff). A special education teacher at Badgett said that a computer in the resource room would benefit the students. At Brady, one teacher said basic supplies were adequate, but hands-on materials were needed for teaching reading and math. The teacher said she would discuss the reported need with the principal. The visited teacher at Dodd reported the need for equipment, hands-on instructional materials, and additional materials for non-readers. Both of theEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 62 interviewed teachers at Jefferson said that materials and equipment were needed. The teacher at Fair reported that additional software was needed for the computer. The observed classroom at Fair Park was located in a portable building. A teacher reported that there was a lack of handicapped access for speech in the portable building. The teacher also said that at times it was necessary to carry a physically handicapped child into the portable because it was not handicapped accessible. At Jefferson, a special education teacher said that a more accessible restroom which provides privacy for students is needed. The teacher at Cloverdale Elementary was absent on the day of the monitoring visit. Materials, equipment, and records will be monitored second semester. Response from Principal(s)\nThe principal at Brady said that she was not aware of the need for instructional materials in special education. She also said that when needs are identified, efforts are made to assist teachers in meeting the needs of students. The principal at Fair Park said there were no students at Fair Park who required assistance to enter the portable building. Oriqinal Magnet Elementary Schools: No areas of concern regarding special education were reported at Booker, Carver, Gibbs, and Williams.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 63 Response from Prjncipal(s): None Interdistrict Elementary Schools: No areas of concern regarding special education were reported at King, Romine, and Washington. Strategies were available at each school to ensure that special education placement and services provided are non-discriminatory. Response from Principal(s): None Area Junior High Schools: All area junior high schools had strategies to eliminate disproportionate student assignment to special education. All teachers reported adequate facilities, materials, and equipment. Monitors at Forest Heights reported that one of the visited special education classes was housed in an annex building and that facilities were not comparable to the campus in general. Teachers at Forest Heights reported that the facilities met the needs of students. Teachers said that materials and equipment were sufficient. Records monitored at all schools were current and complete. Response from Principal(s): The principal at Forest Heights said that there are classes other than special education classes located in the annex building.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 64 Original Magnet Junior High School: There were no areas of concern reported at Mann. Response from Principal: None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Strategies to eliminate disproportionate student assignment to special education were evident at Dunbar and Henderson. The majority of teachers at both schools reported that materials and equipment were adequate to deliver the curriculum. There were no areas of concern noted on the team consensus report. Response from Principal(s): None Alternative Learning Center: Monitors reported that this is the first year a special education class has been housed at the Alternative Learning Center. No areas of concern were noted on the consensus report. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools: Strategies were found to eliminate disproportionate student assignment to special education at both area high schools.

Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Interviewed teachers at Central and McClellan reported they had adequate materials and equipment. However, at Central, the opinion was expressed that access to laboratory facilities would enhance instruction, as would the provision of workbooks. Records monitored at both schools were up-to-date and complete. Response from Principal(s): None Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center: No special education classes are housed at Metropolitan Vo-Tech Center. 8.0 GIFTED, AND TALENTED EDUCATION At each school the monitors expected to find: Students identified through teacher referral, standardized test results, academic performance, and other criteria deemed appropriate by the school staffEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 66 A planned and organized strategy to address any problem of underrepresentation of identifiable groups in gifted and talented programs Sufficient textbooks, materials, and equipment available to deliver the curriculum to all students in the class Gifted and talented facilities that are comparable to other educational programs on the campus and integrated into the total school environment Adequate facilities to meet the needs of the students served FINDINGS: Area Elementary Schools: There were strategies found at all area elementary schools to eliminate disproportionate student assignment to gifted and talented. It should be noted that there was no teacher for Gifted/Talented at Woodruff until the second week in November. Only two of these schools, Fulbright and McDermott, had negative answers to the item on teachers having adequate materials and equipment to deliver the curriculum. At Fulbright School, some visited teachers reported needing two more file cabinets. Also needed were a CD ROM drive computer and a set of dictionaries. At McDermott Elementary School, one of the visited teachers reported having adequate materials and supplies. The other did not. The monitors reported that more advanced materials were needed, and computer equipmentEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 67 should be available in the G/T classroom. It was reported that compared to last year, funding was very low for Gifted/Talented this school year. Part of the Gifted Program at Fulbright Elementary School was held in a portable building. The Gifted Program at Fair Park Elementary School was housed in a portable building which did not seem to have room enough for proper display of student projects. At Cloverdale Elementary School, the gifted facility was too small to house the students. There was also no sink in the room. The above limits the activities that can be conducted, as well as adversely affecting the implementation of the Gifted curriculum. All of the regular classrooms have sinks, according to the teacher. Additionally, there was not enough storage capacity to store on-going student projects. The gifted class at Wilson Elementary School was housed in a smaller classroom than it was last year. The teacher said that the classroom was adequate. Response from Principal(s): The Wilson Principal said that the school enrollment was up this school year over last school year. The location of the gifted classroom was changed to accommodate an additional regular classroom. The Fulbright Principal reported that the gifted teachers had access to the computer laboratory two times per week.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 68 Original Magnet Elementary Schools: All four of these schools had strategies to eliminate disproportionate student assignment to gifted and talented. Although the Booker Magnet School gifted teacher said that the materials and equipment were adequate, one project during the school year offered the students the experience of requesting a loan, raising money through projects, marketing and repaying the loan. The money raised by students has supplemented the gifted program. The teachers of the gifted classes at Williams reported that they were using creative spending and networking in order to approach having adequate materials and equipment. Williams teachers reported having received only $85 for the Gifted program thus far this year, and that no funds had been provided by the Division of Exceptional Children for gifted. It was also reported that the Williams principal has allocated paper and other materials to the gifted program and has been very cooperative in trying to fill the needs of the program. At Carver Magnet School, in order to eliminate the minority underrepresentation (35% black students) in the gifted classes, the following strategies have been implemented. The gifted specialist met with classroom teachers to discuss differentiation in the regular classroom and to develop strategies for implementation. All K-2 classrooms received thirty minutes of enrichment per week with the gifted Learning Styles Specialist.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 69 The Carver gifted specialist and the K-2 regular classroom teachers work together to observe and record information on potentially gifted students. All teachers have been inserviced on the inclusion of higher order thinking skills in all aspects of the curriculum. Teachers have received in-service training on recognizing the multiple intelligences and developing strategies to enhance these differing intelligences in the classroom. Classroom teachers at Carver used flexible grouping and cooperative learning techniques in order to expose all children to higher level tasks and experience success. Teachers have received in-service education concerning ways in which to recognize potentially gifted characteristics in students. Although it was reported that the Carver teachers had adequate materials and equipment, with 210-220 students identified as gifted, the special teacher felt overburdened. She said that she thought the gifted pupils needed more time with the teacher. It was reported that the school staff was educating some parents on how to work with their gifted students. Although the Carver gifted facility looked comparable to those of the campus in general, the gifted specialist said that at times during the school day the room seemed very crowded. The gifted specialist was of the opinion that there were too many students for the classroom size. All observed records at all of these schools were current and complete.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 70 Response from Principal(s): None Interdistrict Elementary Schools: No areas of concern were noted in this area for King, Romine and Washington Elementary Schools. Although most teachers visited at Washington School had adequate materials and equipment, some teachers needed more materials for enrichment activities. Challenge activities were observed while students used these materials. It was reported that purchasing a computer with software was planned for the gifted program. A donated computer needed repairing. Most of the teachers visited had current and complete student records. Response from Principal(s): None Area Junior High Schools: There were no areas of concern noted in the section \"Gifted and Talented Education\" for these schools. At Forest Heights Junior High School, it was reported that a program needed to be established to help gifted students who were weak in certain areas. Despite the fact that only five white students were assigned to the gifted program at Cloverdale Junior High School, this was still within the expected range for the school because of the 86 percent black student enrollment.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 71 At Mabelvale Junior High School, it was reported that although a majority of the teachers visited had adequate materials and equipment, the teachers of the G/T science classes reported that science equipment needed updating and that a laboratory facility was needed. Also, updated reading material was needed for English classes. At Mabelvale Junior High School, it was also reported that computers for the use of gifted mathematics students were needed. At Pulaski Heights Junior High School, it was reported that more space was needed for students to work together on projects. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Junior High School: All the responses on the gifted section for Mann Magnet Junior High School were positive. Response from Principal: None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: All the responses on the gifted section for Dunbar and Henderson Junior High Schools were positive. At Dunbar, it was reported that the gifted coordinator had inserviced the entire faculty regarding procedures for identifying students. The Dunbar Principal had also conducted inservice with staff on the topic.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 72 Response from Principal(s): None Alternative Learning Center: No Gifted and Talented program is housed at the Alternative Learning Center. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools: There were no negative responses to the gifted section of the checklist for Fair and Hall High Schools. Response from the Principal(s): None Original Magnet Senior High School: Although all the responses on the checklist section for gifted at Parkview High School were positive, some visited teachers reported needing more funds to purchase additional materials to enhance the implementation of the curriculum. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools with Magnet Programs: All the responses on the checklist section for gifted were answered in the positive for Central and McClellan High Schools. It was reported that at Central,EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 73 networking was occurring with the junior high schools in providing early experience with gifted expectations and in forming a task force of successful black students from the gifted program to assist in recruitment to Advanced Placement and G/T classes. Response from Principal(s): None Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center: There were no gifted classes at Metropolitan. Response from Principal: None 9.0 STAFF DEVELOPMENT At each school the monitors expected to find: Ongoing staff development programs designed to enable staff members to fulfill the district/school mission and purpose Appropriate inservice provided to enable each staff member to understand his/her role and responsibility in the implementation of the district-wide desegregation plan Documentation of staff development participation All teachers have inservice relative to the delivery of the district curriculum FINDINGS: Area Elementary Schools: The elementary schools report extensive staff development in all threeEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 74 areas of priority. Additional inservices this semester include COE training. Pathway to Excellence, Hands-on science activities. Literature Rich Environment, Thematic Units, School Safety/Gang Related, Integrated Literature, 4th Grade Crusade, Maps, Clowns/Bullies, local counselor and media specialist inservice on various topics and units of study, Reading Recovery and MCRAT. This educational training was provided at faculty meetings, workshops, and by the district. Title I teachers provide on-going inservice, and Title I teachers work directly in the classroom with students in cooperation with the regular classroom teacher. Only one area of concern was voiced at Terry where no teacher visited experienced inservice on multicultural curriculum delivery this semester. There were however 59 instances of this inservice prior to 1995-96. Response from Principal(s)\nThe Terry principal stated that an equity staff development inservice was advertised at Terry. She also said that Terry teachers were constantly encouraged to go to inservice on the topic of multiculturalism. Oriqinal Magnet Elementary Schools: Reports from these schools indicated that many courses dealing with educational equity, multicultural strategies, and student management were offered. Booker reported that AEA has recently provided workshops in \"Multiculturalism in Arkansas\" and \"Multiculturalism from a Global Perspective.\" They also mentionedEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 75 some workshops provided by the State Department of Education such as the K-3 Initiative. Inclusion training was also cited. The majority of Carver teachers indicated they had received equity and multicultural curriculum delivery inservice this year. All teachers also received Discipline with Dignity inservice. Gibbs focused on At-Risk student identification and had staff development to aid them in this effort. International studies teachers provided inservice during preschool week on multiculturalism. They also received classroom management and Positive Reinforcement training during the 1995-1996 school year. Williams included At-Risk Strategies and Modifications in their training, as well as Assertive Discipline and classroom management. All schools reported on-going links between classroom teachers and remedial teachers to provide a better understanding of the remedial programs. Response from Principal(s)\nNone Interdistrict Elementary Schools: All schools reported inservices that aid staff in providing equity, multiculturalism, and safety. Although there were no entries in the school profile. Washington teachers who were visited said they have received inservice in the different areas including workshops by Sanford Tollette of Pfeiffer Camp and Judy Milam of the IRC.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 76 All interdistrict school teachers visited indicated they had inservice to better understand the remedial programs. Response from Principal(s): None Area Junior High Schools: Most of these school staffs included all of the specific courses mentioned in the report. Additional inservices mentioned at Cloverdale were the Student Assistance program, vocational education, specific multicultural classes from a global perspective, and Discipline: Results, Not Outrage. Forest Heights was a concern since there was no evidence of staff development in equity education or multicultural curriculum delivery this year. Most teachers visited however did indicate training in discipline management. Mabelvale cited New Futures and Stanford 8 training. Science Crusade participation and multiculturalism inservice. Teachers had a concern about receiving multicultural training as opposed to studies about only black/white cultures. Several teachers also voiced their concern about central office decisions that do not allow them to implement their classroom management training. Pulaski Heights and Southwest reported that all suggested inservices were provided. Conflict Resolution was an addition. In all area junior high schools, regular classroom teachers teach the Language Plus and Math Assistance classes. All teachers in all schools haveEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 77 been provided training in these programs. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Junior High School: The staff at Mann had already experienced many workshops such as Prejudice Reduction and Cultural Relations prior to 1995. On-going training in 1995 included At-Risk student identification and modifications and Successful Year Starts. The majority of certified staff members also had Conflict Resolution and Behavior/Styles/Student workshops this year. Counselors and remedial teachers provided training in the remedial programs in conjunction with district training. Response from Principal: None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Both schools reported that staff development in the required areas had already been received prior to 1995. This year staff members at Dunbar had inservice in cooperative learning, PET and/or TESA. Sixteen staff members had workshops on multiculturalism and four staff members had classroom management workshops. Remedial inservice was provided by Dunbar remedial teachers and the school district. Henderson Magnet School teachers had Health Science workshops last summer sponsored by UAMS. They also had a school health science workshop.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 78 Some of the teachers attended these inservices at UCA. They also attended a Partners-in-Education for Teachers class during the summer. Henderson also reported that the AEA provided a variety of inservice topics like the INTERNET. Staff development activities in teaching strategies for multicultural curriculum delivery is on-going throughout the school year. Some staff monitored had just completed an Assertive Discipline inservice. Most visited teachers said that they had not had on-going inservice in understanding the remedial programs. Response from Principal(s): None Alternative Learning Center: The School Profile documented that inservice in educational equity, multicultural curriculum delivery and classroom management was provided to staff. This year, there are no Title I teachers at the center. Response from Principal\nOur whole program is one of remediation. Our staff has continuous inservice on how to remediate all students and help them to become more successful in a special classroom setting. Area Senior High Schools: Many of the staff members at these two schools received inservice training prior to this year. The staff at Fair focused on inservice in understanding the remedial programs which was an area of concern last year. Most visited teachersEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 79 received training in classroom management this year. As of the first semester of the 1995-1996 school year, none of the staff of classrooms monitored reported inservice in educational equity or teaching strategies for multiculturalism. Prior to 1995 there were 210 staff members who received education equity training and 65 who completed training in PET and Cooperative Learning. Hall included in their school profiles inservice in Prejudice Reduction, At-Risk strategies, TESA, PET and Cooperative Learning. Violence Prevention was also provided prior to 1995. All interviewed teachers said that extensive training has been provided in understanding the remedial programs and assistance is readily available. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Senior High School: Parkview offered many inservices to staff in educational equity which included PET, TESA, Student Assistance, Stanford 8 instruction and test taking. Multicultural learning and cooperative learning were cited as well as Conflict Resolution and classroom management workshops. Positive Communication was also included. Remedial classes are taught by the regular classroom teachers and explained to the rest of the faculty. Response from Principal: NoneEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 80 Area Senior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Both schools provided inservice training in all areas. Central cited Advanced Placement inservice and academic course inservice which included a math workshop on multiculturalism. Common Ground was another course currently being offered. The principal reported that all academic support programs have been explained to all faculty members. McClellans school profile outlined the many inservice offerings available. The administration pointed out that the regular classroom teachers have a clear understanding of the remedial programs as a result of inservice training. Response from Principal(s): None Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center: Many courses have already been provided prior to the 1995-1996 school year. Additional training this year include Self Esteem, Learning Styles and Positive Discipline. Teachers were given Stanford 8 scores and achievement records to enable teachers to appropriately address students strengths and weaknesses. Response from Principal: NoneEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 81 10.0 PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT At each school the monitors expected to find: Documentation of school-home communication and contact Documented evidence showing how all identifiable groups of parents have been actively solicited When financially possible, transportation provided for parents who need the service School functions conducted in community facilities near identifiable groups of parents School functions scheduled to accommodate all parent groups Provision for regularly informing and involving parents regarding all aspects of their childs school performance Documentation that parents are actively involved in remediation programs in which their students participate (support workshop attendance, conferences, ASDP signatures, etc.) Opportunities to develop leadership skills among all parent groups Documentation of parental involvement in writing the school plans FINDINGS: Area Elementary Schools: The majority of teachers at area elementary schools ranked the telephone as the most effective method of encouraging parental involvement. Personal contacts and letters/memos were also reported as effective means of communication. Home visits were rarely cited as a communication process used by the school to increase parental involvement.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 82 The majority of visited teachers said that all identifiable groups of parents are involved in school functions. However, teachers at Mabelvale and Meadowcliff said that all parent groups were not represented, and more participation by all parents is encouraged. At Fulbright, the monitoring team reported that parents were not involved in the development of the School Improvement Plan. Three area elementary schools (Mabelvale, Meadowcliff, and Woodruff) reported that district structure, policy, and programs had not been discussed at school meetings at the time of the first semester monitoring visit. Response from Principal(s): The principal at Fulbright said that it was an oversight that parents were not involved in the development of the School Improvement Plan. However, he also reported that co-presidents of the PTA reviewed the plan. The principal at Meadowcliff said that although local school meetings had not included information on district policy and programs, the counselor at Meadowcliff was conducting a five-week workshop on \"Helping Students Succeed In School.\" The Woodruff principal said that a PTA meeting was planned for the month of December. Topics to be discussed at the meeting included Stanford-8 testing results, district programs, and ways to access them. Oriqinal Magnet Elementary Schools: Parents at all schools were given opportunities to provide input regarding the School Improvement Plan. Parent involvement was encouraged throughEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 83 phone calls, newsletters, and parent conferences. Teachers at Williams said that parent contract letters and a volunteer booth have also been used to enhance parental involvement. All schools reported evidence of providing parents with information on district policy and programs at PTA or other parent meetings. Response from Principal(s): None Interdistrict Elementary Schools: The team consensus reports listed phone calls, memos, and newsletters as the most frequently used methods to encourage parental involvement. Responses were positive relating to parental involvement at all three schools. Response from Principal(s)\nThe assistant principal at Washington said that grant money is used to provide parents with information through mini-seminars. Area Junior High Schools: At Mabelvale Junior High, a variety of methods is used to encourage parental involvement. All interviewed teachers at Mabelvale mentioned the effectiveness of team conferences and team newsletters. The majority of visited teachers at Mabelvale, Southwest, and Cloverdale Junior High said that all groups of parents are represented and involved in school functions, but more parental involvement is needed.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 84 Teachers at Forest Heights reported that the school provides equitable opportunities for parental involvement in the district and school activities. Phone calls were reported to be the most effective means of communication with parents. It was noted that some teachers are beginning to bring their own cellular phones to the classroom. These teachers said this is a most useful and effective way to contact parents immediately when a discipline problem occurs. Teachers also said discipline has improved since they have been able to immediately involve parents via phone calls. No evidence was provided that district policy, structure, and programs had been addressed at PTA meetings or through mini-seminars held at Forest Heights or in the community. The Pulaski Heights team reported positive responses to all parental involvement questions, except one. Fifty percent of the interviewed teachers at Pulaski Heights said that all identifiable groups of parents are not actively involved in school functions. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Junior High School: Teachers at Mann reported phone calls, newsletters, and student plan books as regularly used methods to improve parent-school communication. Documentation was available as evidence that parents were involved in the remediation programs in which their children participate. Parents activelyEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 85 participated in the development of the improvement plan. District policies and programs were discussed at Manns Open House and Seventh Grade Orientation. Response from Principal(s): None Area Junior High Schools with Magnet Programs: Teachers at Dunbar and Henderson said that phone calls and parent conferences were among the most effective ways to encourage parent involvement. The majority of teachers reported that all identifiable groups of parents are involved in school functions. Parents were involved in the development of the improvement plan at both schools. District policies and programs have been discussed at PTA meetings at Dunbar and Henderson. Teachers at Henderson said that the principal or guest speaker addressed LRSD programs or procedures during each PTA meeting. Response from Principal(s)\nNone Alternative Learning Center: Phone calls were reported as the most effective way the school communicates with parents. Parents were involved in the development of the improvement plan. No areas of concern were reported. Response from Principal: NoneEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 86 Area Senior High Schools: Teachers at Fair and Hall said that phone calls were the most effective form of communication with parents. Interviewed teachers at Fair and Hall reported that all identifiable groups are involved in school functions. At Hall, an active PTA, a diversified parent group of regular volunteers, and VIPS were some of the examples of parental involvement cited. Regular contacts were made with parents at both schools. Documentation was available at both high schools to show that parents were involved in the development of the improvement plan. Parent conference letters were observed as evidence of parent involvement in remedial programs in which their children participate. Response from Principal(s): None Original Magnet Senior High School: Information regarding district structure, policy, and programs has been distributed and discussed at Parkview PTA meetings. Teachers said the most effective way to encourage parent involvement is offering activities in which students perform. Teachers reported that all identifiable groups of parents are involved in school functions. Parent input from the Quality of Education survey was utilized in the development of the improvement plan. Parents on the PTSA Board/ExecutiveEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 87 Committee were directly involved in developing the local School Improvement Plan. Response from Principal: None Area Senior High Schools with Magnet Programs: No areas of concern were reported at Central or McClellan. Memos were reported to be the most effective method of communication with parents at McClellan. Personal contacts were reported as most effective at Central. All parent groups were represented at school functions. However, more involvement by black parents was desired at Central. Parents at both schools were involved in remedial programs in which their children participated. At Central and McClellan, parent participation in the development of the local School Improvement Plan was evident. District structure, policy, and programs were addressed at PTA at both high schools. Response from Principal(s)\nNone Metropolitan Vocational-Technical Education Center: Areas of concern were not identified at Metro. All identifiable groups of parents participate on advisory boards and serve as chaperons through the career orientation classes. Effective methods were used to encourage parent involvement. Examples include phone calls, parent conferences, and sendingEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 88 home student work such as videos produced by students. Staff members and Advisory Board members were assembled for planning and developing the School Improvement Plan. Home school PTA meetings and church meetings were avenues used to apprise parents of district structure, policy, and programs. Response from Principal: None 11.0 STUDENT DISCIPLINE At each school the monitors expected to find: No disproportionality among identifiable groups of students when discipline sanctions are analyzed (-25% - +12.5% of the black student enrollment at the school) Evidence of strategies to eliminate disproportionality in disciplinary sanctions, if such disproportionality exists Discipline program monitored, evaluated, and updated to decrease any disproportionality among identifiable groups of students Evidence that a handbook/policy clearly states expectations for student conduct and that these policies are distributed and explained School staff very active and visible in directing/ controlling students FINDINGS: Area Elementary Schools: Information regarding LRSD disciplinary policies and procedures was distributed to all students and parents at all area elementary schools. The UttleEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 89 Rock School District Rights and Responsibilities Handbook was taught, and a form denoting receipt thereof is kept on file at each school. School and classroom rules were carefully explained, and in most cases, were posted throughout the schools. At each of the area elementary schools, monitors reported that the school staff had plans, procedures, and practices which were designed to enable students to remain in school, promote academic success, and alleviate behavior problems. Examples of the aforementioned included incentive programs. monitoring at-risk students, use of behavior management plans, conferences with parents, practice of positive discipline, assemblies, honor/award systems. detention hall, tutoring, efforts of counselors, cooperative learning, and extracurricular activities. According to monitoring reports, classroom instruction proceeded in an orderly manner at each area elementary school. Additionally, principals, assistant principals, and teachers were considered very active/very visible in directing/controlling students at all area elementary schools. Supervision aides at each area elementary schools except Brady and Fulbright were also considered very active/very visible in directing/controlling students. At Brady, the monitoring report indicated that supervision aides were somewhat active/somewhat visible in performing that task. At Fulbright, supervision aides were considered not active/not visible in directing/controlling students. The report from FulbrightEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 90 indicated that more supervision on the playground by supervision aides was needed, and further stated that upper grade level students were observed on the playground intimidating small primary level students, evidently unobserved by aides. With the exception of Watson, Pulaski Heights and Mabelvale Elementary Schools, all area elementary schools had three or fewer suspensions/expulsions the first nine weeks. At Pulaski Heights, eighty-one percent (17/21) of the students who received the above disciplinary sanctions were black. The acceptable range for Pulaski Heights Elementary is 35% - 53% black students. based on a 47% black student enrollment. At Mabelvale Elementary, eighty-six percent (6/7) students who were suspended/expelled the first nine weeks were black. The acceptable range for Mabelvale is 53% - 79% black students, based on a 70% black student enrollment. All ten of the students who were suspended/expelled the first nine weeks at Watson were black. The acceptable range for Watson is 61% - 91% black students, based on an 81% black student enrollment. Where needed, strategies to eliminate disproportionate discipline sanctions among identifiable student groups were in place at all area elementary schools. Examples of strategies cited in monitoring reports'follow: incentive programs. teacher inservices, behavior modification plans, conferences with parents. detention, functioning discipline committees, and award programs.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 91 Response from Principal(s)\nNone Oriqinal Magnet Elementary Schools: All original magnet elementary schools apprised students and parents of LRSD disciplinary policies and procedures, according to reports submitted by monitoring teams. The Little Rock School District Rights and Responsibilities Handbook was taught, and forms denoting receipt thereof are kept on file. Classroom and school rules were also explained and posted. Strategies have been implemented to enable students to remain in school. promote academic success and alleviate behavior problems at each original magnet elementary school. Examples of the foregoing cited by monitors follow: award and incentive programs, individual student contracts, peer helpers, tutors. detention hall, and academic and behavior plans for students. Classroom instruction proceeded in an orderly manner in classrooms observed by monitors at the original magnet elementary schools. All appropriate personnel were observed as being very active/very visible in directing/controlling students at Booker, Carver, and Gibbs. At Williams, monitors considered the assistant principal, teachers, and supervision aides as being very active in supervising students\nthe principal was viewed as neither active nor visible in completing that task.EDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 92 Monitoring reports indicated that two or fewer students received suspensions/expulsions the first nine weeks at all original elementary magnet schools except Booker. At Booker, 90% of the ten students who received disciplinary sanctions were black, which is not generally representative of the student population. All of the original elementary magnet schools have implemented strategies to eliminate disproportionate discipline sanctions among identifiable groups, per monitoring reports. Examples of the strategies follow: formation of Discipline Hearing Committees, after-school detention programs, emphasis on conflict resolution, individual counseling, intervention programs, work of Pupil Services Teams, and efforts to help students develop effective study techniques. Response from Principal(s): None Interdistrict Elementary Schools: Information regarding LRSD disciplinary policies and procedures was made available to all students and parents at King, Romine, and Washington, according to monitoring reports. Additionally, the school staff at each of the schools indicated that plans, procedures, and practices were in use to enable students to remain in school, promote academic success, and alleviate behavior problems. At King, examples of the aforementioned included incentives for appropriate behavior, cooperative discipline, and an In-school Suspension Program. AtEDUCATIONAL EQUITY MONITORING 1995-96 FIRST SEMESTER SUMMARY REPORT PAGE 93 Washington, monitors indicated that there was an emphasis on building selfesteem. No specific examples were noted on the report from Romine. Monitors reported that classroom instruction proceeded in an orderly manner in classrooms visited at the three interdistrict elementary schools. Suspension/expulsion rates generally represented the student population at King and Romine, but not at Washington. Eighty-three percent of the students receiving suspensions the first nine weeks at Washington were black, which is not within the acceptable range of 48% - 72% black students, based on a 64% black student enrollment. Strategies to eliminate disproportionate discipline sanctions among identifiable groups had been developed at Washington. Although no disproportionality in this area was evident at King, strategies to prevent disproportionate sanctions were in the narrative section of Kings school profile. The report from Romine indicted that no strategies in this area were needed. At King and Romine, monitors considered all appropriate personnel as being very active/very visible in directing/controlling students. However, at Washington, the principal was regarded as somewhat active/somewhat visible in directing/controlling students, and the supervision aides were considered as not active/not visible in completing the same task.

Each of these schools began the Extended COE school improvement process during the fall of 1994, and each will have an external team review of its Extended COE school improvement plan during the spring of 1996. The external team will be composed of teachers and administrators from other districts, college professors, and Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) personnel. It was determined by the ADE Field Services Specialists who work with these schools that these are the schools which have progressed far enough to have completed some needs assessment, drafted a school profile, selected targets and outcomes, and selected specific strategies. This represents the first opportunity to observe the extent to which these schools have infused the school improvement process with equity concerns and the indicators of success specified in 1989 in the Allen letter. NEEDS ASSESSMENT: The steps of the needs assessment process are described below. Once appropriate data has been reviewed, each school staff determines weaknesses or needs of that particular school. Areas of concern are initially identified broadly and noted through the target selection process described below. As the focus begins to narrow and become more refined, outcomes first emerge and the specific actions are selected to address those identified needs. TARGET SELECTION: --. The schools were instructed to select at least four targets from the seven correlates of Effective Schools or the four Indicators of Success of the desegregation components. It was acceptable to choose more than four targets if the school felt the need to do so. Target selection was completed by the staff at each school following the collection, disaggregation, and analysis of three types of data. Those data types are archival, perceptual, and achievement. This selection activity was conducted following the creation of appropriate committees working with the building principal. Final target selection was based on the results of the data collected for the school profile and on staff discussion and input. OUTCOME SELECTION: Upon completion of target selection activities, a target committee was established for each of the chosen areas. These committees are composed of certified staff, classified staff, parent representatives, and others. One of the tasks of these committees is to further review the data and identify the areas of concern that might be related to their particular target area. It then follows that these committees decide what needs to be accomplished in order to improve those identified needs. The task of creating outcomes or specific goals becomes critical at this point. Generally, it is suggested that two to three outcomes be chosen for each of the target areas. ACTION/STRATEGY SELECTION: Following the creation of appropriate outcomes for each target area, the target committees then began work on formulating activities that can be conducted at the school to help with the successful accomplishment of the desired outcomes. This process includes the perusal of current educational research that is related to the desired outcome, as well as brainstorming/teaming activities with the committees. Decisions on strategies are based on staff input, research, budget considerations, administrative approval, and other factors. The actions finally agreed upon are established over a fiveyear period with emphasis on specifics for the first year or two with general goals established for year three, four, and five of the cycle.

Can you give me the dates in which you 4 became the Little Rock superintendent, and the date that you left? A Q A Q In July of 1989 and to June 30, 1992. And I trust Chris has told you why you're here? Yes. Okay. Before I get into the obvious questions, have you had occasion to review anything in writing to help you get ready for the deposition today? A A little bit of the settlement agreement, and some factual information that showed some budget . figures, and things of that nature. Q A Can you be more specific on the latter? I think it was a work-up sheet that was produced by someone at the Pulaski County School District, showing a scenario of M to M payments , and that sort of thing. Q Before you reviewed that recently, had you ever seen it GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE (501 J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 or something like it? A Q No, I had not seen anything like that. Okay. Anything else that you can recall that you reviewed? A Q A Q A No. Any -- did you review anybody's testimony? No. Did Chris or anyone else summarize that for you? He talked a little bit about the - - no, I don't think not about anybody's testimony. Q A Or anybody's position, or anything like that? We just reviewed some general types of ideas, thoughts, 5 comments from -- that Don had made, that Chip had made just to kind of help me to recollect some of the things that were occurring around the time frame that we're talking about . Q What I want to ask you to do -- understanding that we're going to get down to late September of 1989 -- can you capsule for me your recollection of what was still an issue regarding the financial settlement with the state as we entered those hearings before Mr . Mccutcheon in late September of '89? A One of the issues had to do with the methods of funding for the interdistrict schools, and the problems about the actual payments, and how those would be handled. There had been a lot of prior issues over the release o GIBSON-BRANTON Rf PORTING SERVICE (S0IJ 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 - 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 - 6 funds whether or not there was actually an agreement that could be acted upon, based on the problems with the -- that we had with the legislature first approving it, and then the appropriations bill being struck, and then Nap Murphy losing his key, and then the third and final decision from the legislature about the capping the amount of money, and not really agreeing in substance to anything other than a cap, in terms of the money, except for those things which had already been agreed to, like the M to M money, and transportation, and that kind of thing. Q And as the hearings began, do you have a recollection of any issues that were still out there between the parties -particularly the county and Little Rock? A The discussions about the interdistrict schools. That was one of the things discussed. And then the discussion with the -- with Mccutcheon over whether or not there was an executable agreement, it seems to me were -- those were primarily the things that I remember being an issue then. Q Do you remember anything occurring during the course of those hearings that prompted the parties to engage in furthe negotiations? A I remember there was a -- there was a room that we -- several of us were coming in and out. There was an issue over the funding of the interdistrict schools and the poolin of the -- how that would work. And there were some GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r 50 I J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 - 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 - discussions between Chris and you, and others that you were engaged in some discussion around, around that. And the -- primarily that's what I recall was going on at that particular time. Q Do you recall any specifics at all about pooling -where the term came from, what it meant -- anything like that? 7 A What I understood that it meant was that the money would be -- that would be forthcomi ng from the state in terms of the sending and receiving districts, and the amount that would be contributed, that would be pooled; and that that would be used -- that pooled money would be used for the education of students attending the interdistrict schools. And that's what -- and that the amount that would be spent would be equalized so that no students from either district would be penalized in terms of a per pupil expenditure that would be identified for them as they attended those schools, in the event that two were eventual! established one in Little Rock and one in Pulaski County . Q Do you have any recollection of why pooling came into existence? A It's -- my recollection is that it came into existence because we were attempting to establish, based on the magnet school model, that there would be an equitable, same amount of money that would be spent in the interests of furthering GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE ( 50 I J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 desegregation to those types of schools. That's what I recall. Q- I take it, then, that you do not have any recollection 8 that would involve settling an issue, like who got what part of the funds the state was willing to provide? A Well, the sending district was to receive -- or was to contribute half its table rate. And the host district was to receive the full cost of educating the child, is what I remember about the distribution of the money; and that the $200,000 per year that Pulaski County was going to get for a five - year period would be contributed toward that pool. Q Do you have any recollection of why the county was going to contribute $200,000 a year? A The only thing that I remember is that there were some difference in the amount of money per pupil that the county expended in educating its students, as compared with what Little Rock was spending to educate students; and that that amount of money was perhaps going to be used for that purpos to equalize all of that, as a 'part of that . Q Let me just try kind of a general question . Is there anything else that you can recall being either debated or resolved in that room outside of the court room during the course of those hearings? A There were, as I recall from the discussions, there wer there was agreement as to the fact that the interdistrict GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r 50 I J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 9 schools would be funded along the same general types of procedures as the magnet schools. There would be a per pupil amount established. There would be equalized funding, which would come from the pool that was generated through funds from Little Rock and from Pulaski County. And that the application of that would be for all of the students that were attending the interdistrict schools, not simply those sent or received; but that that would apply to the total student population in the interdistrict school. And I think that's reflected in the subsequent paragraphs that were added to the September version of the settlement agreement, which I think is dated a day or so after the hearing that we had with Mr. Mccutcheon. Q And I didn't bring the thing with me. But -- is that it, Chris? MR. HELLER: Yeah. BY MR. JONES: Q Ruth, may I just look at that, and identify it, for the record the paragraph that you're referrlng to. A I think they're on pages 11 and 12. They're paragraph '0' and 'P' of the revised agreement. Q Let me just glance at that. After these hearings ended, do you have any recollection of reducing to writing yourself anything that was discussed or agreed to in those negotiatin sessions that took place during the hearings? GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r 50 I J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 10 A Are you asking if I wrote anything, or if I have any recollection of anyone writing anything? Q A Yes. I don't recall when that was done, or how that was done. I did not write anything. Q Okay. Do you recall if you took any notes during those negotiating sessions? A I probably did because I usually always did . But I don't have any idea where they are. But I'm just sort of a note-taker, so I probably wrote some things down at some point. But I don't have them, as far as I know because I've gone through a lot of files since then. Q That would have been the kind of thing that you would have left at the district, or taken with you -- if you know? A I don't know. I took a lot of things home. And -- but there were just volumes and tons of stuff, as you know. And I have no idea where any of that might be -- probably in my rough notes that I took with me. But I wouldn't have any idea whether I saved them or not. Q After those hearings concluded in September of '89, do you have any recollection of the pooling matter coming to your attention or being anything that you were working on, o directing anyone to work on any time before you left in June of '92? A There were some discussion about that with Chip Jones GIBSON-BRANTON Rf PORTING SERVICE f 50 I J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 - 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 11 and Herb Cleek. And I did not work directly with that, except to -- my concern was always that you make sure that the students who move from our district to Pulaski County are not shortchanged in terms of any per pupil expenditure that were being spent for them; and that the pattern of funding for the interdistrict schools would be similar to that of the magnet schools, not necessarily in terms of the exact amount, but that there would be an amount identified that would be spent for the students who attended those schools. And my concern was that we would not want our kids to be going to the Pulaski County School District, and receiving less per pupil in any kind of significant way, other than what they had received and would have received had they stayed with us. Q Other than that recollection, do you have any recollection or knowledge of any work or analysis that Mr. Cleek or Mr. Jones may have done, . either during your tenure or thereafter? A I don't recall seeing anything in writing that they produced. Q We can look at some of the language -- the paragraph '0,' page 12 of the agreement, the particular sentence that says, 11The instructional budgets of the interdistrict school will be equalized.\" Let me ask you first, in 1989, if I had GIBSON-BRANTON Rf PORTING SERVICE f 50 I J 224-6409  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 12 asked you in that room what an instructional budget was, what would you have told me? A I would have told you that that included, to my knowledge, everything except transportation and capital outlay. That's generally what I think the state understood a per pupil expenditure to mean. That would have been instructional costs, excluding generally those two items building buildings and transportation. Q Since we all know that at one time you headed the State Department of Education, could you direct me at all to any document or book, or anything like that, out there that woul use the term 'instructional budget;? A I don't think that that term was used, though I think the term 'per pupil expenditure' was used, which has typically been understood to be synonymous generally with th term 'instructional budget.' And that appears, as I recall, in the document that's produced yearly by the state that compares districts throughout the state in a number of ways. And one of those is on the basis of per pupil expenditure. And I think that that term is defined perhaps in the front o that book, or somewhere. Or it's been generally understood to mean instructional costs, or the cost of educating the child that's spent on a district basis. Q Do you have any idea, then, why the settlement GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE ( 50 I J 224-6409 ]. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 J.0 ]. ]. J.2 J.3 - J.4 J.5 J.6 ]. 7 ]. 8 J.9 20 21. 22 23 24 25  J.3 agreement used the expression 'instructional budget,' rather than 'per pupil expenditure'? A No, I don't know why that term would have been used particularly. I can't really say other than to limit it from capital outlay and transportation, which were of course big issues to the state in terms of not being included in the calculation of that cost. Q One of the things Chris and I have been puzzling over is trying to figure out who wrote this language. Do you know? A No. Q Do you recall being shown it during, or shortly after the conclusion of the hearing? A I don't recall when I saw it first. You know, we went over the settlement agreement several different times, and under several different -- for several different reasons. And I don't really recall the first time that I saw the language. Q Do you recall reviewing it before your board president signed off on it? A I don't recall. Q Do you believe that the language in paragraph '0' is inconsistent with your recollection of what was agreed to an anticipated? A No, I don't think that it's inconsistent with what I agreed to at all. GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r 50 I J 224-6409 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 14 Q Does the term 'operating budget' mean anything to you? A Yes. Q What does that mean? A Well, it means that that's the budget that's used to pay for the day to day operations -- general types of operations -- of the district. It would not include, as I recall -- and again, I'm talking from memory here. It would not include perhaps some fixed categories of funds that woul be set aside for various purposes that would not be considered as part of the day to day operational needs of the district. Q So then, operating budget or operations budget would not be equivalent to per pupil expenditure? A However, I think it's very much included in a per pupil expenditure. Per pupil expenditure would be a part of, I would think, the operating budget of the school district . Q But an operating budget is something that is more inclusive than per pupil expenditure? A It might, but I don't know how to -- I don't recall ho to break down the category exactly. But it might be more tha that. But I don't -- I'd have to give that some thought in terms of what specific categories might be included. I just haven't thought about it in awhile . Q Other than your recollections, have you been asked to give any kind of professional opinions in this hearing? GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r 50 I J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 15 A No. Q You did review some work sheets that you understand were prepared by someone at the county. Do you have any reaction to those? A The reaction that I had was that the work sheets as I viewed them were not consistent with what I understood to be the intent of paragraphs '0' and 'P' from the September version of the settlement agreement. Q Okay. Chris, I'll need to explore that if you're going to really get into that with Ruth -- if you're going to get into methodology, and all that . MR. HELLER: I did not inten? to get into methodology with Ruth, other than her understanding of what the terms of the settlement agreement meant . I'll probably talk to Don and Chip about the methodology, and whether or not that reflects our position on what the settlement agreement means. But I don't expect to have Ruth work through the work sheets and talk about methodology . BY MR. JONES: Q Then let me just ask her this question. What was it as you reviewed those that seemed to be inconsistent with pooling? A The inconsistency, seems to me was that the calculation did not reflect attention to all of the students in the interdistrict schools, but only those who were M to M GIBSON-BRANTON RE PORTING SERVICE r so 1 J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 transfers, so that what you would have would be a situation where an amount of money would be spent on some students that would not be spent on others in the pool. The intent of the pooling, as I understood it, was to make sure that all the students who attended the interdistrict schools, whether M to M transfers or not would be given the same amount per child -- per pupil expenditure per child in those schools . Q Let me ask you this. What's the state of your knowledge about how those interdistrict schools are being funded today , and what has been spent at the schools? A I don't know, because I don't know Apart from the agreement to -- for the sending district and the receiving district, and the amount that's contributed, and the $200,000 per year by Pulaski County, I have to assume that that's par of the issue . So I don't really know exactly how they're being funded at this particular time. Q I want to make sure that I understand your testimony. Let's take Crystal Hill Elementary School . . Do you have any information that any child at Crystal Hill that may from the county is having more or less spent on his or her education there than a child that transferred to Little Rock. A I don't have any information about that. I would have to look at a school budget to see, I suppose, how that would work. GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE (501 J 224-6409 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q If you've got 340 kids from Little Rock there, and 380 kids from the county there, and they're all in the same programs, would you give me a hypothetical about how more might be spent on the county kids versus the Little Rock kids? 17 A Well, the issue, I think has to do with the kids who are there who are not M to M transfers, but who would be attending the school anyway, so that the amount per child would be equalized for all of the kids who are in attendance at the school. And that I think is one of the issues, is that we didn't anticipate in the agreement that there would be a difference in the amount per child in a school so that the pool would be created by virtue of the process of sendin and receiving districts, and the pool of money from Pulaski County. I may not be answering your question. MR. HELLER: Sam, maybe I can help. Ruth's testimony wasn't that the problem might be that different amounts would be spent on Little Rock kids versus Pulaski County kids in a Pulaski County school; but that less might be spent on all the kids in a Pulaski County school versus a Little Rock school. MR. JONES: Yeah, and I thought she said both . That's why I was exploring the form of it. If you will stipulate that's not what she was trying to tell me, I'll ge GIBSON-BRANTON Rf PORTING SERVICE fSOIJ 224-6409 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 18 on to something else. MR. HELLER : Well, you can probably ask her that, but that was my understanding of the testimony. THE WITNESS: Yes, that's right. BY MR. JONES: Q So what Chris said is right? You'll have to say, \"yes,\" for the record . A Yes. Q All right . Let's go, then, to comparing any county school, interdistrict, to any Little Rock school , interdistrict. Do you have any information or knowledge that any of the county interdistrict schools are spending less than any one of the Little Rock interdistrict schools? A I don't have information about that. I ' ve not looked at anything that would show any kinds of comparison. Q We introduced quite a few exhibits in the on the first day that we had of the pooling hearing . To your knowledge, with the exceptions of work sheets of the county, have you seen any of those? A Now, when you're talking about the pooling hearing, which one are you referring to? Q Well A Date-wise? Q Well, the one we had a couple of months ago. A So your question is what, again?

A No. Q I take, then, you have not seen any correspondence or 19 memoranda that may repose in a file of the Little Rock School District? A No . Q I'll have to ask Chris. Do you anticipate between now and -- when do we go back -- Thursday? MR. HELLER: Thursday. MR. JONES: Showing her any of that? MR. HELLER: Well, as I recall, Sam, none of that correspondence was directed to her. MR. JONES: after she left. MR . HELLER: Oh no, she -- I think it all started I don't anticipate doing that. But if there's something that you want to ask her about correspondence -- MR. JONES: MR. HELLER: Well, I hate to drag it all out. Well, I think beyond the types of things she's testified on here already, there's nothing that correspondence that I would ask her about that is beyon the opinions that she has given so far this morning.

JONES : Q We can go back for a few minutes to the negotiations 20 that were occurring in September of '89, and I want to rule out some things unless some of this jogs your memory . I take it you have no recollection of the county and Little Rock being involved in a scenario where there was two million dollars left that the state was going to provide. And the issue came down to who's going to get what part of that. Let's stop right there. Does any of that ring any bells? A In terms of the discussion that went on at that time about that? Q Yeah.

A Yes sorry. Q And this may not be important, but do you remember who on behalf of the Little Rock district agreed to the pooling concept? A I can't recall exactly how that came about. I think there was some. discussion of that with Herb Cleek, with Chip, with the state, with you and Chris. But where the idea GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE (SOIJ 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 - 21 originated in whose head -- I really don't recall. Q Yeah. Right now I'm beyond that and asking you when it was on the table, after it had been discussed, do you recall who on behalf of the Little Rock School District approved it? A No, I don't remember. Q Could it have been someone other than you? A I doubt that anyone on my staff -- I'm certain that if the idea originated from Herb or from James Jennings, or fro Chip, or from all three, that they would have communicated it to me, explained it to me, and that I would have agreed to it. But in terms of anything beyond that, I don't recall. Q I'm just kind of curious. You include both paragraphs '0' and 'P,' as being somehow pertinent to the pooling issue. What does 'P' have to do with it? A It's just one of the ones that got added, that was not in the March agreement. Q Okay. A It really doesn't have any relevance, other than it was just one of the ones that was added that made that document little different from the earlier document. Q I've never gone back and compared them. Do you even have old drafts? MR. HELLER: I've got the March agreement. And I can tell you that the last paragraph in that section in the March agreement was probably 'M,' rededicated millages.

But it looks to me like section '0' was probably just added to. It looks like this first part was probably agreement. probably it had to have been in the original MR. HELLER : I don't think so. MR . JONES: Yeah, you're right, because that's wha that was one of my fusses. THE WITNESS: Uh-huh. BY MR . JONES : Q Ruth, I think you touched on this. And you may have answered it fully and I've just forgotten. Do you have any recollection during those hearings -- before those hearings -- of the county taking the position that the receiving district for an M to M student should receive state payments that would be made to the sending district? A What I recall is that the sending district would receive half the table rate. The receiving, _or host district would receive the full cost of educating the child. That's what I remember. Q Well, do you remember the county taking the position that that ought to change? A No. Q Okay. So I take it, then, having no recollection of th county taking that position, that you do not have a GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE (501 J 224-6409 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 23 recollection that one of the reasons pooling came about was to resolve that issue? A Well, my recollection about pooling is that it was done to create just simply that -- a pool of money through which spending could be equalized for the students in the interdistrict schools. That was the purpose of it, as I understood it and as I recall it. But I don't remember the county taking a position about that particular part of it . Q Understanding that, do you have any recollection or explanation of why something like section '0' was not in the original agreement? A Well, other than the fact that it hadn't been fully determined how this was going to work at that point. And that was one of the things that, I suppose, we had not come to agreement on fully at that point, or it had been overlooked - - one or the other . Q And I had forgotten this. I guess when we started that process, you were representing the state . And when we ended that process, you were representing Little Rock. A Yeah, things were on kind of a fast track there for awhile. Q Do you have any recollection of any time of instructing Chip Jones to evaluate the settlement agreement with the state for any possible changes to propose? A To negotiate with the state?

A I think that there was some -- some feeling at some point -- and I'm trying to recall the sequence of dates. When we got the approval from the Eighth Circuit -- the final approval -- was it December of '90? Q Right. A That there was some suggestion again, this is very far back in my memory -- that there might be the opportunity to talk about with the parties some changes that might make the plan more workable. And I don't remember issuing Chip a directive to do that. But I remember talking about certainl exploring whatever avenues we could to make sure that we had a workable agreement. I don't recall suggesting any kinds o changes in the agreement with regard to the interdistrict school. Q I understand you're doing consulting-type work these days? A [witness nods head up and down.] Q Just out of curiosity, can you give me some examples of what you're doing and for whom? A I'm primarily working in the area of curriculum development, and in grant writing -- school districts and co-ops -- ranging all the way from early childhood education to professional development, and helping districts write GIBSON-BRANTON REPORTING SERVICE r so 1J 224-6409 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 - 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 25 curriculum based on the requirements of Act 236. And that's primarily what I've done. Some staff development, and some areas like authentic assessment and dimensions of learning -- things like that. Q I think this happened after you left, but let me ask you anyway. Do you have any recollection of being involved in appointing people to any committees that may have been set up to consider curriculum themes for interdistrict schools? A No. Q Do you have a recollection that that was to be done at some point in time? A I think it -- I think yes, I can say that. I don't recall exactly when or how, but we did that with regard to there was a lot of discussion, for example, with regard to themes in the incentive schools. So it would make sense tha at some point there was some discussion about that with regard to the interdistrict schools. Q I think I asked you if you talked to Chris, or anyone else -- I just want to make sure. I take it you have not discussed the pooling issue with Chip Jones? A No. Q Did Chris ask you to look through anything -- A Wait, let me back up. Do you mean in relationship Q Recently?

Little Rock School District Obligations from the Pulaski County Desegregation Case Abbreviated Summary Third Edition, January 25, 1996 Little Rock School District Obligations from the Pulaski _County Desegregation Case Summary The attached list is an updated summary of obligations essential to the Little Rock School District in the Pulaski County Desegregation Case. This list is a further revision of two earlier publications. The first edition was published August 4, 1995. The second edition was published August 23, 1995. The list was excerpted from documents relating to the case. Documents reviewed include the Little Rock Desegregation Plan, The Interdistrict Plan, court orders, stipulations, transcripts, exhibits, and monitoring reports to name a few. The first audit of LRSD obligations was completed by attorneys of the Friday, Eldredge \u0026amp; Clark law firm in December 1993. After extensive review by LRSD senior management, the obligations were filed with the U. S. Court, Eastern District of Arkansas. The Program Budget Document (PBD) was then developed to monitor these obligations. To keep the PBD current, an audit of new obligations is done each year. During the first six months of 1995, a study was repeated. All legal documents relating directly to LRSD obligations in the Pulaski County Desegregation Case were reviewed agai~ to verify the accuracy of the original audit. Obligations are defined generally as statements that require action. They include those that are routinely done in a school district. They are included here because they are specifically mentioned in documents relating to this case. This document includes two parts as follows: I. Explanation of Codes for List of Obligations (Figure 1) is an explanation of headings across the top of the obligations list and the meaning of codes found in that column\nand, 2. Pulaski County Desegregation Case Obligations is the list of obligations abbreviated for quick reference. It is a working document. We believe it includes all possible obligations including those from stipulations dating back to 1986. There are 2008 listed. NOTE: Under no circumstances should the abbreviated text of the Pulaski County Desegregation Case Obligations list be considered a complete statement of the obligation. The original legal reference should be read when making decisions about the implementation or meaning of the item. This list is intended/or use as a quick reference.
