He worked tirelessly to increase the number of registered blacks voters in Montgomery and was one of the key organizers of the Montgomery Improvement Association and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He also helped bail Rosa Parks out of jail after she was arrested for violating segregation laws. Heavily influenced by his membership in the largely African American Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP), Nixon became an outspoken activist for African American voting rights and employment opportunities in the years between World War II and the early years of the civil rights movement in the mid-1950s. Nixon also was the first black candidate in the twentieth century to run for a seat on Montgomery County's Democratic Executive Committee in 1954. He lost his bid but was allowed to question candidates for the city commission, which functioned as Montgomery's central government, about issues of race the following year.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":null,"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of the Encyclopedia of Alabama."],"dc_right":null,"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Alabama--Montgomery","Civil rights workers--Alabama--Montgomery","African American civic leaders--Alabama--Montgomery","Civic leaders--Alabama--Montgomery","Montgomery Improvement Association","African Americans--Civil rights--Alabama--Montgomery","Civil rights--Alabama--Montgomery","Civil rights movements--Alabama--Montgomery","Civil rights demonstrations--Alabama--Montgomery","Montgomery Bus Boycott, Montgomery, Ala., 1955-1956","Boycotts--Alabama--Montgomery","Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters","African Americans--Segregation--Alabama--Montgomery","Segregation--Alabama--Montgomery","Race discrimination--Alabama--Montgomery","Race relations","Montgomery (Ala.)--Race relations--History--20th century","National Association for the Advancement of Colored People","African American labor leaders--United States"],"dcterms_title":["E.

Hollowell provided counsel to student activists during the Atlanta sit-ins, defended Martin Luther King Jr. and other demonstrators as part of the Albany Movement, and successfully litigated the landmark case integrating the University of Georgia. In 1966 he became the first African American regional director of a major federal agency when U.S. president Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to oversee the southeastern regional office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Born in 1917 in Wichita, Kansas, Hollowell dropped out of high school to help support his family during the Great Depression.In 1935 he enlisted in the army, where he served in the segregated Tenth Cavalry Regiment, better known as the Buffalo Soldiers and reached the rank of Private First Class Specialist Five by 1938. He then withdrew from regular service to continue his education at Lane College, an all-black school in Jackson, Tennessee, where he excelled in the classroom and on the athletic field as a three-sport athlete. Hollowell was recalled to active service in 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which resulted in the United States entering World War II. Hollowell was stationed at Fort Benning before deployment overseas and then transferred to the European theater, where he again served with distinction, rising to the rank of captain by war's end. After the war, he enrolled in law school at Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois, earning a law degree in 1951. He moved to Atlanta where he established a law practice and soon became active in the civil rights movement in Georgia. In 2000 the Donald L. Hollowell Foundation was established to assist with the educational and social needs of children and seniors in Georgia. Hollowell died in Atlanta on December 27, 2004.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata.","GSE identifier: SS8H11"],"dc_format":["text/html"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia."],"dcterms_subject":["Lawyers--Georgia","African American lawyers--Georgia","University of Georgia","United States.

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT vs. NO. LR-C-82-866 WRW/JTR PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DEFENDANTS DISTRICT NO. 1, et al. LORENE JOSHUA, et al. KATHERINE KNIGHT, et al. PLAINTIFF INTERVENORS INTERVENORS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PETITION FOR DECLARATION OF NORTH LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT'S UNITARY STATUS AND RELEASE FROM COURT SUPERVISION As this Court has recognized, \"federal judicial supervision of school systems was intended as a 'temporary measure' [and the] ultimate objective [is] to return school districts to the control of local authorities. n Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District No. 1, et al., 237 F.Supp. 2d 988, 1027 (E.D. Ark. 2002) quoting Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 489 (1992). Accordingly, supervising courts \"must... provide an orderly means for withdrawing from that control when it is shown that the school district has attained the requisite degree of compliance. n Id. In 2006, the North Little Rock School District (\"NLRSDn or the \"District\") School Board voted unanimously to seek unitary status. A complete copy of the . 2006 school board minutes is attached to the Petition filed herewith as Exhibit A. 1 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 2 of 16 In 2007, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 395, which is now codified as Ark. Code Ann.  6-20-416 (the \"Act\"). In the Act, the State of Arkansas promises to \"compensate school districts that seek and obtain unitary status.\" These actions by the Board and the State alleviated NLRSD's political and financial concerns about seeking unitary status. Thus, NLRSD hereby simultaneously files its Petition for Unitary Status and this brief, which provides the support for its position that NLRSD should be declared unitary and released from federal court supervision. History of Plan The desegregation plan approved by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in its decision in Uttle Rock Schoo/ Dist. V. Pulaski County Special Schoo/ Dist. on December 12, 1990 (\"NLR Plan\") is actually to be found in several documents beginning with NLRSD's original plan submission in 1986. This submission was the \"Plan for Implementing the Remedial . Order of the Court of ..  Appeals for the Eighth Circuit as It Applies to [NLRSD]\" which NLRSD filed on March 17, 1986 (\"March Plan\"). This initial submission addressed the interdistrict violations enumerated by the Court of Appeals in Uttle Rock Schoo/ Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special Schoo/ Dist. No. 1, 778 F.2d 404 (8th Cir. 1985). The district court, however, required NLRSD to provide a plan to address its intradistrict violations, as well. Therefore, NLRSD filed on October 14, 1986, its \"Supplement to Plan for Implementing the Remedial Order of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit as It Applies to the North Little Rock School District' (\"October Supplement\"). 2 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 3 of 16 In its Order of February 27, 1987, the district court approved the NLR Plan consisting of the March Plan and October Supplement. Subsequently, some modifications to the NLR Plan were made either by petition to and approval by the district court or by operation of the settlement among the parties. The first NLR Plan modification occurred as a result of NLRSD's motion of July 21, 1987 to add an addendum that addressed the impact of Acts 624 and 762 of 1987 regarding student assignment. This motion was approved by the district court by its Order of July 27, 1987. The next modification occurred as a result of NLRSD's \"Petition to Modify NLRSD Student Assignment Plan and to Close Central Junior High School\" filed on July 20, 1988, and was approved by the district court by its Order of September 1, 1988. This modification provided for the re.organization of NLRSD secondary schools. beginning. in the 1990-91 - school year: Additionally, Central.Junior. High Scho.ol was,closedand:-the;studeat assignment zones:.for the remaining three: junior high schools were redrawn to .. -- ensure comparable racial balance. These.modifications were implemented at the. beginning of the 1990-91 school year. Additional modifications occurred as a result of the settlement among the parties. First, the parties agreed to NLRSD's \"Petition to Modify NLRSD's Desegregation Plan\" submitted to the Special Master in February, 1989 and incorporated into the parties' \"lnterdistrict Desegregation Plan,\" which was created in response to the finding that the North Little Rock and Pulaski County School districts had engaged i11 discriminatory actions that contributed to the disparity in the racial composition of the student bodies of the two districts and 3 --\"'- , ___ -\" --vv-- \" .. , '\".. \"'-''-''\"'u111c 111..,. ,..,.v , 11cu u;;J,~ 11uu, rayt::: \"+ or 10 Little Rock School District. See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special - School Dist. No. 1, 584 F.Supp. 328, 353 (E.D. Ark. 1984). Certain provisions of this Petition dealing with interim efforts to desegregate Lakewood Junior High School pending the secondary reorganization were satisfied and are no longer applicable since the secondary reorganization has been accomplished. The other provisions of the Petition have now been incorporated into the NLR Plan. Another modification of the NLR Plan occurred as a result of the \"Stipulated Compensatory Education Programs to be Implemented by the NLRSD with Settlement Monies\" filed on October 25, 1989 which satisfied paragraph VIII D. of the Pulaski County School Desegregation Case Settlement Agreement, March, 1989 (as revised September 28, 1989) requiring a description of the compensatory education programs to be. implemented. by NLRSD with. funds to be received from the Settlement Agreement This. Stipulation also gave effect to and superseded that portion of the. original NLR Plan which described additional compensatory edtication programs whicn could be implemented, only with addittonal State funds. On April 29, 1992, the elements of the NLR Plan were consolidated and published in a single document (the \"1992 Plan Handbook\") for distribution to NLRSD officials and for their ease of reference in implementing the provisions of the plan. On August 31, 1995, NLRSD reached an agreement regarding unitary . status in the area of student assignment and Elementary Gifted and Talented. 4- Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 5 of 16 The Court approved the release of NLRSD from court supervision on student assignments and Elementary Gifted and Talented on September 18, 1995. On April 10, 1998, the district court entered an order approving LRSD's Revised Plan, which stated that it \"shall supersede and extinguish all prior agreements and orders\" in this case \"and all consolidated cases related to the desegregation\" of LRSD.\" See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 237 F.Supp.2d 988, 993 (E.D. Ark. 2001). Thus, NLRSD is no longer required to comply with the lnterdistrict Plan, and the sole measure of NLRSD's unitary status is its compliance,with the NLR Plan.

Legal Standards The standard for determining whether a school district which is subject to judicially supervised desegregation plan is now well-established: the district must have acted in good faith to implement its plan and must have achieved substantial compliance with the requirements of that plan. 5 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 6 of 16 A. Good Faith In order to establish that NLRSD should be declared unitary, the District must demonstrate that it has \"complied in good faith with its desegregation decree since it was entered.\" See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 237 F.Supp.2d 988, 1027 (E.D. Ark. 2002) citing Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell, 498 U.S. 237, 249-50 (1991). See also Missouri v. Jenkins, 515 U.S. 70, 88 (1995). The Supreme Court has established that \"good faith\" is demonstrated when, . . . the school district has demonstrated, to the public and to the parents and students of the once disfavored race, its good-faith commitment to the whole of the court's decree and to those provisions of the law and the Constitution that were the predicate for judicial intervention in the first instance. Freeman v. Pitts, 503 U.S. 467, 491-492 (1992). In this effort, the Court noted that the duratior-i of the school district's. compliance record must be considered: .... a court should give particular attention to the school system's '- record of compliance. A school system is better positioned to demonstrate its good-faith commitment to a constitutional course of action when its policies form a consistent pattern of lawful conduct directed to eliminating earlier violations. And, with the passage of time, the degree to which racial imbalances continue to represent vestiges of a constitutional violation may diminish, and the practicability and efficacy of various remedies can be evaluated with more precision.\" Id. B. Substantial Compliance In addition to proving \"good faith,\" NLRSD must also establish that it is in \"substantial compliance\" with the NLR Plan. As this Court has stated, \"[i]t is black letter law that a school district seeking an end to court supervision has the 6 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 7 of 16 - burden of proving substantial compliance with the judicially imposed remedy. See Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 470 F. Supp. 2d 963, 984 (E.D. Ark. 2004). This Court has given the following guidance regarding the test for \"substantial compliance\": (l]n order to determine if a party is in 'substantial compliance' with a consent decree, the trial court must examine whether any of the alleged violations of the consent decree 'were serious enough to constitute substantial noncompliance' and 'to cast doubt on defendant' future compliance with the constitution.' . . . [A] Party can be in 'substantial compliance' with a consent decree even if it has committed violations that are 'inconsequential' in light of the party's overall performance. Little Rock School Dist. v. Pulaski Co. Special School Dist. No. 1, 237 F.Supp.2d 988; 1027 (E.D. .. Ark. 2002) citing..Cody V. Hillard; 139 F.3d 1197, 1199-1200 (8th Cir. -.1998). Also. in Little Rock Schoo/Dist., this Court.more succinctly set out.its: test for substantiat compliance when it stated. that it. would be,. \"required. to examine whether any-of LRSD's: failur.es-to comply wittr the Revised Plan in the  \\ six challenged areas are 'serious enough': (1) to constitute 'substantiat. noncompliance'; and (2) 'to cast doubt' on [NLRSD's] future compliance with the Constitution.\" Id. at 1035-1036. Thus, \"substantial compliance\" is not legalistic compliance with each \"jot and tiddle\" of the North Little Rock Plan but, instead, is a measure of the NLRSD's history of working to comply with its plan as a predictor of whether it has experienced a change in its operations and attitudes such that the it will continue to comply with the Constitution after the being released from court supervision. 7 \\ Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 8 of 16 Record of Compliance Declaration of NLRSD's unitary status is proper because the District has maintained substantial compliance with its plan in good faith throughout the two decades it has been under this Court's supervision. The discussion below details the evidence of NLRSD's good faith and compliance with its plan. The discussion also explains how NLRSD recognizes the latest research, methodologies, laws and technology while continuing to remain faithful to the goals and values of its desegregation plan. A. Evidence of Compliance As detailed in the October 19, 1988 Report to Special Master Regarding the Status. of Implementation of North Little Rock.School District's Desegregation. Plan (\"1988. Status Report\"), NLRSD acted, expeditiously,and,comprel:tensb.tely to .. implement its original: dese.gre.gati:an plan approved:,by the; Court in 1987': A complete copy of the 1988: Status Report- with7 appendi:~esr is. attached: to the: Petition. filed .. herewith as. Exhibits: 8(1) to B.(.t1)_ NLRSD. continued to, comply with the 1987 version . of the desegregation plan, which was significantly incorporated into the plan approved by the court in 1992. Soon thereafter, NLRSD initiated and completed a self-audit (\"1994 SelfAudif). A complete copy of the 1994 Self-Audit detailing the status of the individual provisions of the 1992 plan is attached to the Petition filed herewith as Exhibit C. The 1994 Self-Audit analyzed the specific nature of the 188 plan provisions and detailed NLRSD's compliance with each. The 1994 Self-Audit also identified the following factors for each of the individual provisions: (1) the 8 \\ Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 9 of 16 administrator or group responsible for execution; (2) the date of implementation; and (3) references to other audits and reports monitoring the particular compliance activity. Accordingly, the 1994 Self-Audit provides significant evidence of NLRSD's dedication to complying with its desegregation plan. After the Court approved NLRSD's unitary status for student assignment in 1995 and for elementary gifted and talented in 1996, NLRSD continued to monitor the status of the other provisions of its desegregation plan. NLRSD submitted periodic status reports detailing its findings to the Court and other parties pursuant to the lnterdistrict Plan until this plan was superseded by the modifications to the Little Rock School District's Desegregation Plan and the Pulaski County School District's Desegregation Plan in 1998. Thereafter, NLRSD continued to provide information. as requested by the ODM for its monitoring of the District. Moreover, from 1987 to date, no motion has been filed: by any party alleging violations of or seeking to enforce provisions of. NLRSD's plan or settlement agreements or otherwise alleging that NLRSD was not in compliance ,. with its desegregation plan. On June 9, 2004, the ODM published its report on the Status of the North Little Rock School District's Implementation of Its Desegregation Plan (\"2004 ODM Status Report\"). A complete copy of the 2004 ODM Status Report is attached to the Petition filed herewith as Exhibit D. In analyzing the nine \"discrete divisions of the NLRSD desegregation plan, ODM relied on its direct observations of NLRSD employees, ODM's interviews with NLRSD employees,. reports from the Arkansas Department of Education and data submitted by 9 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 10 of 16 \\ NLRSD. 2004 ODM Status Report at 1-2. Taken as a whole, the ODM's independent and objective report demonstrates that NLRSD has substantially complied with the desegregation plan in good faith. B. Evolution of the Plan The very heart of NLRSD's desegregation plan is its goal to remedy the effects of the segregative acts which this Court found the District to have committed. These segregative acts, originally identified by this Court in 1984, are enumerated in the Introduction of the 1992 Plan Handbook. To ensure that the desegregation goal was accomplished, the District's desegregation plan outlined specific programs, services and activities that NLRSD used or proposed to use at the time the plan was created. However, \"[mJany of the educational approaches that were incorporated into the desegregation plan-have become outdated.\" 2004 ODM Status Report at 1. Accordingly, NLRSD has. modified the specific programs or \"has implemented different procedures and . programs intended to more effectively achieve desegregation goals.\" Id. Such modifications are not a deviation from NLRSD's desegregation plan but, instead, reflect its commitment to the principles of its desegregation plan as educational standards and best practices evolve. Indeed, it is critical to remember that desegregation \"plans are a floor, not a ceiling when analyzing whether NLRSD has met the standard of substantial compliance with the plan. Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special Schoof.District No. 1, et al. , 769 F. Supp 1491 , 1495 (E.D. Ark. 1991). NLRSD . never agreed to adhere to plan specifics into perpetuity. In fact, this Court Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 11 of 16 instructed the districts to maintain \"sufficient flexibility to deal with changing conditions and meet unforeseen developments\" with regard to their desegregation plans. Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District No. 1, et al., 769 F. Supp. 1483, 1490 (E.D. Ark. 1991). Moreover, the 2002 testimony of the Joshua Intervenor's expert witness, Dr. Terrence Roberts, further supports this position. Dr. Roberts was one of the \"Little Rock Nine,\" who continued his education by obtaining a bachelor's degree is sociology, a master's degree in social work and a doctorate in psychology. Dr. Roberts specifically warned against what he termed \"compliance mentality,\" instructing the districts to focus \"not on the letter of the plan, but the spirit of the plan.\" See the Excerpted Transcript of July. 24, 2002 Evidentiary Hearing,. attached .. to. the: Petition filed: herewith as Exhibit Eat p ... 630. and p .. 649. NLRSD has done~exactly that.. After implementing:the:plan in: the:ear1y 1990s, specific. NLRSD programs: have: evolved. or hav.e bee' replace.a b.y more effective- or:- perfected. programs, which continue to combat segre.gative. effects .. while. als.o.. recognizing the mandates of state and federal laws, the enlightenment of research and numerous advances in technology and instructional methodology. This evolution is characteristic of the foresight of NLRSD. The District takes great pride in preserving an understanding of the latest research redefining best practices, implementing cutting edge programs that ultimately become the requisite practice or the norm, improving programs that have become archaic and replacing programs that have become obsolete. 11 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 12 of 16 The following examples illustrate the necessity of educational program evolution and NLRSD's continuing good faith commitment to its desegregation goals as outlined in its plan. The NLR Plan provides for a Home Instruction Program for Pre-School Youth (\"HIPPY\") to \"be established in lower socio-economic attendance zones.\" NLR Plan page 34. As a Compensatory Education program, HIPPY was designed to prepare lower socio-economic pre-school children for success when they entered kindergarten. The year after HIPPY was originally implemented; it served fifty (50) fouryear- old students, utilizing home instructors to educate parents by providing reading. material to use wjth their children ... The. HIPPY program eveataally- evolved. with. the District.taking. a more- active. role .in the .. pre,..schoaUearning. by, offering classroom-basect-early childhood':edu.catio:tt and:ihcr:easing, the capacity,  of the program .. In more recent years, the program replaced the .home instructors,. with. a \"parent liaison\" trained in Minnesota Early Learning Design. The parent liaison \"teaches parents the child development principles that pertain most directly to school readiness [by] maintain[ing] parent contact [and] conduct[ing] workshops[.]\" 2004 ODM Report p. 23. NLRSD's current Early Childhood Program, the perfected progeny of HIPPY, serves approximately five hundred (500) three-year-old, four-year-old and five-year-old children, whose eligibility for admission is based on certain factors including poverty, low birth weight, abuse or neglect, and English as a second language. Id. The program also offers an 12 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 13 of 16 infant and toddler section the children of older NLRSD students, preparing these children for education, while preventing their parents from dropping out of school. Additionally, NLRSD's Early Childhood Program supplements  the curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services' Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education by emphasizing readiness for kindergarten but allowing teachers to begin reading instruction if they deem a child ready. Id. Early childhood programs like NLRSD's are widely found to be beneficial, though they have not been implemented on a wide spread basis. Other significant examples of NLRSD's continuing commitment to the principles of its plan are the District's Compensatory Programs Aimed at Dropout Prevention, which include. the Alternative School program and. Student Assignment Classes program. NLR Plan page, 37-38 .. NLRSD's original Alternative S,c hool served students identifieda s at risk of dropping out o.f school and was located: at the: Boys and Girls Club. However, the Distri-ct \"decided to develop its. own alternative. programs using. District resources~ when budg.et issues and a series of personnel changes at the Boys and Girls Club \"resulted in a weak and ineffective alternative program.\" 2004 ODM Report at page 47. Currently, NLRSD has five sites that serve as alternative schools based on the age of the students. Additionally, the SAC program, included in the provisions of the 1992 plan, prevents students from dropping out of school by providing an inschool suspension program, removing the students from the classroom but keeping them in a supervised educational environment \"These classes have 13 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 14 of 16 '\\ been a consistent force in providing students an opportunity to continue their education while they are ... in the discipline system.\" Id. NLRSD now \"goes beyond the [original programs set out] in its desegregation plan by offering a dropout retrieval program at Shorter College and providing a highly focused program for credit deficient students in the Graduate Academy.\" Id. at 50. In its 2004 report, the ODM \"commend[ed] the NLRSD for the many programs it has in place to serve as alternatives to putting students out of school [and b]ecuase the NLRSD allows students and parents to choose among alternative education placements and home suspensions, a student's educational future is determined by the home in conjunction with the schooldistrict\" Id .. Conclusion The purpose, of. court supervisien was-, to create a:. unitary schael: s.ystemc. from what was once a \"dual school system, establis~ing and maintaiming ..: a. system in which the interests. of. both black. and white students were equal. by involving black representatives into policy making and administration. Today, three of the District's seven Board members are African-American, there are black administrators at every level and each school maintains a bi-racial committee. As a district which \"has been largely characterized by an absence of rancor and dissension, NLRSD has consistently avoided \"potentially volatile decisions\" and made smooth transitions in its programs. 2004 ODM Report at page 45. 14 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 15 of 16 \"The NLRSD superintendent has been an admirable force for collaboration and accord as he has involved both the internal [faculty, parents, students] and external community in many weighty district matters. .. demonstrating wise sensitivity to the adage that people will support what they help create ... By avoiding surprises, meaningfully involving in changes those who are most affected by those changes, maintaining a congenial and professional demeanor, and consisting treating others with respect, the district's CEO has fostered the growth of cohesiveness in tt,e NLRSD and promoted significant level of harmony between the district and the community.\" Id. NLRSD's School Board reflects the racial make up of the community. As a cooperative group, the Board weighs the interests of each student and parent equally irrespective of their race; so that it is no longer necessary for the Court to be an artificial voice for the black students. Thus, NLRSD has been an exemplary model of a district that has substantially complied in good faith: with the goals of its desegregation plan and, as a result, has become unitary. As Special Master Aubrey Mccutcheon observed, \"desegregation is- a state- of- mind:.\" NlRSD has certainly achieved this ultimate goal. The Court should note that NLRSD has stipulated that the Joshua lntervenors may have an extended time period of 90 days to file an initial response to this Petition given the significance of this matter. The parties agree that this would not affect the schedule for discovery or any hearing dates. Additionally, the Court should be aware Ark. Code Ann.  6-20-416 provides that the District would be eligible for reimbursement of the legal fees associated with seeking unitary status if the Court makes such a declaration by June 14, 2008. Therefore, it is critical that this matter proceed in a manner that will allow resolution before this date. 15 Case 4:82-cv-00866-WRW Document 4145 Filed 09/21/2007 Page 16 of 16 '\\ For the reasons set out above, NLRSD should be declared unitary and released from federal court supervision.
