OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORl\u0026lt: THE JOSHUA INTERVENORS' MOT10'N.FOR''A'N A WARD OF ATTORNEYS' FEES CONCERNING THE PCSSD STRIKE ISSUE The Joshua Intervenors respectfully move for the entry of an order against the PCSSD defendants, awarding attorneys' fees for the work of their representatives concerning the PCS SD strike issue. The award sought is set forth in Attachment One to this motion. This motion is based upon the affidavits of John W. Walker and Joy C. Springer, the declaration of Robert Pressman, attachments to these documents, 1 the accompanying memorandum, and the following allegations: (1.) On August 27, 1996, the PCSSD defendants filed a motion seeking equitable relief, including an order \"directing that PACT end [a] strike .... \" A 9-page memorandum supported the motion. The court scheduled the matter for a hearing on the following day, August 28, 1996. (2.) On August 28, 1996 the Joshua Intervenors filed a memorandum opposing the relief sought by the PCSSD. Joshua argued in part: \"Moreover, resolution of the contract dispute between 1 These documents are attached to this motion. 1 - the teachers and the District is not a desegregation obligation covered by the settlement agreement\" (at 2); see also at 4 (\"The Joshua Intervenors simply observe that the District has not identified a single provision of the settlement agreement which the union has violated.\") (3 .) On August 28, 1996, the court conducted an evidentiary hearing on the PCSSD motion, which it treated as a motion for a preliminary injunction. At the conclusion of the hearing, the court \"enjoin[ ed] the teachers from further striking following the Labor Day weekend.\" Transcript, at 18. ( 4.) The Knight Intervenors appealed this court's judgment enjoining the strike. Thereafter, on May 1, 1997, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed this court's judgment. In words echoing those set forth in the memorandum promptly filed by Joshl!:i on August 28, 1996, the court reasoned: \"But we cannot agree that the settlement agreem~nt, even by implication, took away the right to strike, assuming such a right exists under state law, nor can we - find any other source of authority for the action the District Court took\" (Slip Opin., at 5). (5 .) The position taken by the Joshua Intervenors was premised upon two ir.terests of the plaintiff class. First, it sought to focus the attention of the parties and the court, and the use of hearing time, on matters within the scope of the agreements and designed for the benefit of the class members. Second, it sought to avoid a situation where teachers could view class members negatively, because their litigation would be a vehicle for suppressing a tool available to the teache1 s to advance their economic interests. (6.) The Joshua Intervenors are entitled to the fee award sought in this motion against the PCSSD because their representatives' efforts constituted a reasonable post-judgment activity to defend their earlier victory embodied in the approved agreements. Alternatively, and without waiving the foregoing contention, Joshua Intervenors note that they ultimately prevailed in their action to 2 - defend their earlier victory -- and are entitled to the award sought on that basis. (8.) The attachments to this motion, and the accompanying memorandum, show that the time and the rates claimed for the representatives of the Joshua Intervenors, as set forth on Attachment One of this motion, are reasonable. WHEREFORE the Joshua Intervenors move that the PCSSD defendants be ordered to pay )j-{;M.00  the amount of$ --to John W.

Introduction This memorandum supports the accompanying motion of the Joshua Intervenors for an award - of attorneys' fees against the PCSSD defendants in connection with the PCCSD st:-ike issue. It discusses the predicate for this award, as well as the time claimed and the rates sought. B. The Predicate for an Award As detailed in the motion, the position taken by the Joshua Intervenors concerning the court's involvement in the PCSSD strike issue was ultimately the one adopted by the Court of Appeals in ruling in the appeal filed by the Knight Intervenors. As also explained in the motion (at paragraph 5), the position taken by the Joshua Intervenors is properly viewed as protecting the value of the court-approved settlement, for class members, in two regards; that is, by focusing the attention of the court r and the parties on the substantive relief gained by intervenors in the settlement;1 and by avoiding a 1 Such an effort was appropriate. The Joshua Jntervenors' motions regarding the incentive schools and ODM recommendations, pending at the time of the August 28, 1996 hearing, were never heard on the merits. The Joshua Jntervenors' motions concerning the Robinson High School and PCSSD discpline were denied tersely, without hearings by the court. situation where the plaintiff class could be scapegoated by the teachers. Alternate grounds support the award sought. The Joshua Intervenors having broadly prevailed in this action by virtue of the settlement, their representatives are entitled to fees for reasonable postjudgment monitoring, including \"defensive [steps], seeking to preserve relief obtained earlier . . . . \" Jenkins v. Missouri, Appeal No. 96-3870 (8th cir. May 22, 1997), Slip Opin. generally and at ---; 2 see also Association of Retarded Citizens of North Dakota v. Schafer, 83 F.3d 1008, 1012 (8th Cir. 1996) (defending a victory). We note also, that as to PCSSD, there is no claim of a waiver of fees for monitoring. Secondly, the Joshua Intervenors ultimately prevailed on this matter. They are, therefore, entitled to fees on this matter as a prevailing party. E,\u0026, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1n8. C. The Hours Claimed and the Rates Sought \"The most useful starting point for determining the amount of a reasonable fee is the number - of hours reasonably expended on the litigation multiplied by a reasonable hourly rate.\" Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424,433 (1983). This \"lodestar\" amount yields a presumptively reasonable fee. Pennsylvania v. Delaware Valley Citizens' Council for Clean Air, 478 U.S. 546, 565 (1986). 1. The Time Claimed The time claimed, totalling ---- hours, was \"reasonably expended on the litigation .... \" Hensley, supra. As this submission shows, intervenors claim only a modest amount of time for the work of lead counsel, Robert Pressman (only on this petition), and Ms. Joy Springer. Intervenors' representatives studied the materials filed by the parties, prepared a memorandum, participated in the hearing on August 28, 1996, and prepared this petition. As it is customary in this market to bill the time of a paralegal separately (J. Springer Aff., para. ---), it is proper to make a sepan.te award for Ms. Springer's time. Missouri v. Jenkins, 491 U.S. 274, 288-89 (1989). Indeed, involving Ms. 2 See paragraph beginning \"Another factor that has been considered . ... \" Springer was cost-effective. Id., at 288. 2. The Hourly Rates Sought The rates sought are John W. Walker$ 250 per hour, Robert Pressman$ 200 per hour, and Joy C. Springer $ 50 per hour. These are \"reasonable hourly rate[s]\" for these advocates taking account of the nature of this case and their \"skill[s], experience[s], and reputation[s].\" Blum v. Stenson, 465 U.S. 886, 888 (1984). In order to avoid repetition, intervenors' argument on rates relies upon the details set forth in the accompanying affidavits. These documents show, among other things, that Mr. Walker has long been active in this case, been lead counsel in a very large number of civil rights cases, and been praised by members of the federal bench for his expertise in this sphere. J. Walker Aff., paras. 3, 5, 7, 9. The Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit compensated Mr. Walker at the rate of$ 250 per hour for his work on the appeal in the case of Shirley Harvell v. Blytheville School District, 93- 1009EAJ (Order, August 19, 1996). See J. Walker A.ff, para. 8 and attachment. He currently charges fee-paying clients this rate. Aff., para. 9.3 With regard to Mr. Pressman, a district judge familiar with his work during the lengthy Boston school desegregation case compensated almost all of his time for the period October 1988 through June 1993 at the rate of$ 200 per hour. See Morgan v. Gittens, 915 F.Supp. 457, 472-74 (D.Mass. 1996). The affidavits appended to Mr. Pressman's declaration here also support a rate of 3 To be sure, this court in dictim, in an order of September 2 3, 1996, at 9, n. 6, set a rate of $ 200 per hour for lead counsel. However, this rate is inconsistent with the rate established by the Court of Appeals. Moreover, at minimum, lead counsel's rate should not be lower than$ 225 per hour, a rate employed by two other judges of this court on a total of four occasions. See J. Walker Aff., para. 8. $ 200 per hour. 4 The affidavit of Ms. Springer attached to the motion shows that she has considerable experience in civil rights litigation generally, and this case in particular. In Jeffers v. Clinton, 776 F.Supp. 465,470,476 (E.D.Ark.) (2 to 1), a three-judge court utilized rates of$ 40 per hour for local paralegals and $ 50 per hour for out-of-town paralegals in a voting rights case, for work in the period 1989 to 1991. The passage of time since this work was performed justifies the higher rate sought for Ms. Springer's work in this case. We note also the following factors. First. The rates sought are supported by rates approved by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (in instances other than the one cited with regard to Mr. Walker). See McDonald v. Armontrout, 860 F.2d 1456, 1460, 1461 (1988) (the court noted its approval in 1986 in the Pulaski County School Desegregation Case of the rate of \"$ 200 per hour for a Washington, D.C. 'cooperating attorney who had been in practice approximately thirty years\"' and of the same rate in 1988 in the Kansas City case for \"an experienced civil rights attorney for his services in [that] school desegregation case ... \"); Planned Parenthood, Sioux Falls Clinic, v. Miller, 70 F.3d 517, 520 (1995) (rates ofup to$ 260 per hour for attorneys based in Chicago); see also the Declaration of Thomas I. Atkins, former General Counsel of the NAACP, attached to the Declaration of Mr. Pressman. Second. The rates sought here are supported by the reasoning of the Court of A~peals for the Eighth Circuit, which has emphasized the connection between the rates employed in cases like this one and fulfilling the goal of facilitating civil rights enforcement, which underlies the fee statutes on 4 Recently, in this case, the LRSD did not challenge a rate of$ 200 per hour for Mr. Pressman/or work in opposing the termination of jurisdiction as to the LRSD and preparing the related fee petition. This court then granted the full award sought by the Joshua Jntervenors, in an order entered on May 16, 199 7. which the plaintiffs rely. See Casey v. City of Cabool. MO, 12 F.3d 799, 805 (8th Cir. 1993). Conclusion There is no basis for departing from the lodestar amount here. Therefore, an award should be made to John W. Walker, P.A. in the amount of $4i~O-OO Respectfully submitted, JOHNW. WALKER, P.

COUNTY OF PULASKI) PLAINTIFFS DEFENDANTS INTER VEN ORS INTERVENORS Comes now the affiant, JOHN W. WALKER, who submits the following affidavit under oath: Educational and Professional Qualifications 1. I graduated from Arkansas AM\u0026N College in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in 1958 with a major in Sociology. In 1960, I was awarded a John Hay Whitney Opportunity Fellowship which I used to obtain a Master's Degree from New York University in Education (Human Relations) in 1961. In 1961, I enrolled in the Yale University Law School from which I received my law degree in 1964. At Yale Law School, in 1964, I was a finalist in the Thurman Arnold Appellate Moot Court Competition. I have studied further at Fisk University (the Race Relations Institute) and at many legal training seminars which focused upon the subject of civil rights law in particular. 1 In 1964, I was admitted to practice before the Bar of Arkansas. Subsequently, I was admitted to, and still practice before, the United States Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals for the 2. Eighth, Fifth, Eleventh, and Tenth Circuits, the United States District Court, Western District of Texas, and the United States District Court, Eastern and Western District of Arkansas. 3. I completed a legal training internship in New York City with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) in September, 1965. In 1965, I opened a private general law practice in Little Rock which emphasized civil rights law. In 1968, Norman Chachkin (now of the LDF) and I opened one of the first integrated law firms in the South. That law firm has continued to be operated on an integrated basis since that time although it has undergone several name changes. My own work continues to emphasize civil rights legal activity. 4. I hold membership in the American and National Bar Associations, and the W. Harold  Flowers and Pulaski County Bar Associations. From 1976 to 1982, I was a member of the Arkansas Board ofExaminers. I have served as a member of the Federal Rules Advisory Committee of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am a member of the Board ofDirectors of the LD F b New York. 5.

I have served as Chairman of the Board of the Arkansas Opportunities industrialization Center (OIC). the Center for Law and Education (Cambridge, Mass.), and the Leadership Roundtable (Little Rock, Arkansas). In 1968, I was a member of the Arkansas Constitutional Revision Study Commission. In the early 1970's, I was a member of the Land Use Study Commission of the Southern Governors Conference. I have served as a member of the Supreme Court Committee on Legal Education. I have spoken or lectured at several annual meetings of the National Bar Association; the American Bar Association; other bar associations; many public colleges and many high schools regarding many subjects but primarily upon the subject of Civil Rights Law. I have also received numerous awards for my representation of civil rights causes and cases. 7. I have participated actively in this case and the predecessor litigation since the 1960's. 8. The foregoing recitations establish my educational and professional qualifications. It is my opinion that the bar of first rank with comparable qualificaitons in other fields of law command the highest hourly rates for their work. Those rates range between $150.00 and $300.00 per hour in this market. The State of Arkansas has contracted for legal services in the range of $150.00 per hour for experienced counsel. In an Order dated August 19, 1996, in the case of Harvell v. Blytheville School District, Appeal No. 93-1009 EAJ, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit compensated my time at the rate of $250.00 per hour for a successful appeal in a voting rights case. See the papers attached to this affidavit. My time has been compensated at the rate of $225.00 per hour on at least four occasions in the Arkansas District Courts. These cases are as follows: (a) Ashford v. City of Hamburg. C.A. No. 93-1032 (W.D. Ark.) (Order 1/19/95) 4 - (Judge Barnes); (b) McFadden v. Arkansas State Hospital, C.a. No. LR-C-78-153 (Order, 4/18/95) (Judge Howard); (c) Davis v. Franks, C.A. No. 88-4082 (Order, 5/16/96) (Judge Barnes); (d) Day and Hollowell v. Johnson. C.A. No. LR-C-94-849 (Order 9/27/96) (Judge Howard) (stayed ... r pending outcome of substantive appeal). 9. In Taylor v. Jones, Circuit Judge Richard Arnold described me as a member of the bar of the \"first rank.\" In April, 1995, in the aforementioned Order in McFadden v. Arkansas State Hospital. cited in paragraph 8., Judge George Howard, Jr. wrote: \"The Court notes that Walker is one of the most preeminent civil rights attorneys in the State\" (at 3). 10. The fee which I request herein of $250.00 per hour is my usual and customary fee which I routinely charge fee paying clients. The total time for which this fee is sought is 11. 7 hours. 11. Counsel and co-counsel herein have taken great care to prevent their submission from - reflecting duplicate and non-productive efforts. I have reviewed the submissions of all representatives of the intervenors and believe they are accurate. correct and reasonable. 12.

Dist. v. Pulaski County Special Sch. Dist. Civil Action No. LR-C-82-866 Declaration of Robert Pressman Robert Pressman swears under penalty of perjury that the following information is truthful: A. Employment in Civil Rights Division (1). Following my graduation from the Columbia Law School in June 1965, I worked as an attorney in the Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice, from August 2, 1965 through July 31, 1970. The Division enforced civil rights laws concerning voting rights, access to public facilities and public accommodations, school desegregation, equal employment opportunity, and freedom from mistreatment by police personnel. My work at various times involved each of these areas. It encompassed giving guidance to the Federal Bureau of Investigation on investigations of possible civil rights violations and compiling factual material and analyzing complex fact patterns, as well as legal research. (2.) For roughly the first two years of my tenure in the Division, I was assigned to work on problems arising in the northern part of Mississippi. During this period, I frequently travelled to Mississippi and, among other things, made appearances in the Carroll County school desegregation case. I also investigated the status of school desegregation in other systems, including Lee County, Pontotoc County, Tunica County, and the City of Corinth. In 1967, the Division was reorganized and my work shifted to Illinois. There, I developed facts concerning school segregation in School District 151 of Cook County, Illinois. The Department's suit against that district was its first northern case. I participated in the trial. See United States v. School District 151, 286 F. Supp. 786, 787 (N.D. Ill. 1968); 301 F. Supp. 201, 205 (N.D. Ill. 1969). My Illinois work also included school segregation issue in Cairo, East st. Louis, and Madison County, Illinois. (3.) In 1969, the Division was again reorganized, this time along subject matter lines. I was assigned to the education section. From October 1969 through my departure from the Division at the end of July 1970, I worked principally on Alabama school desegregation issues, particularly on Lee v. Macon County Board of Education, a statewide case involving 100 local - districts, as well as state officials. Efforts were underway in this period to secure implementation of plans satisfying the standards of Green v. County School Board. I prepared written comments on issues arising in more than 30 Alabama districts and appeared frequently before the three-judge court (Judges Richard T. Rives, Frank M. Johnson, and R.H. Grooms). I also appeared before Judge Johnson in the separate Montgomery County school desegregation case and prepared for the Department briefs in two appeals from the decisions of the three-judge court in the Lee case. See, for example, Lee v. Macon County Board of Education, 448 F.2d 746, 747 (5th Cir. 1971). (4.) On December 15, 1969, I received a Certificate of Award for outstanding work, in the Attorney General's Twentieth Annual 2 Awards Ceremony. Four of the Division's ninety attorneys were given this award at that time. B. Employment at the Center for Law and Education (5.) In August 1970, I began working at the Center for Law and Education (CLE), a component of the federally-funded program of legal services for low-income persons, administered since 1975 by the Legal Services Corporation. As the \"national back-up center\" on education issues for the entire legal services program, the Center's principal role was to promote throughout the program strong representation of clients experiencing education problems. The work consisted of providing advice to local legal services personnel on particular client problems; conducting training programs; writing publications and articles; - engaging in administrative advocacy; and participating as cocounsel in some cases. My employment at the Center ended as of September 15, 1995, due to lay off, because the Congress chose to eliminate funding for national support programs like CLE. (6.) In 1972, upon its filing, I began working on the Boston school desegregation case as co-counsel for the plaintiff class of Black parents and students. My involvement has continued to the present, although the case is largely inactive with only a few orders remaining in place. See, for example, Morgan v. Hennigan, 379 F. Supp. 410, 414 (D.Mass. 1974) (liability ruling) and Morgan y, McDonough, 540 F. 2d 527, 528 (1st Cir. 1976) (argued appeal in which the court affirmed the placing of the operation of a high school in receivership). 3 (7.) In the 1970's I also did some work in the Detroit school desegregation case, Bradley v. Milliken, and more than 1000 hours of work on behalf of the plaintiffs-intervenors in the Omaha school desegregation case, United States v. School District of Omaha. See for example 521 F.2d 530 (wrote brief for successful appeal with the court's opinion reflecting to a substantial degree the factual portion of the brief). (8.) During the 1970's, I played a role at CLE in the development of a racial discrimination theory ultimately employed successfully in securing a delay in the Florida program of denying standard high school diplomas to students failing a \"competency test.\" See Debra P. v. Turlington, 474 F. Supp. 244 (M.D. Fla. 1979), aff'd, 644 F.2d (5th Cir. 1981). In the Debra - I:..._ litigation, I participated briefly in the trial (due to an illness in the family of a CLE colleague) and wrote a portion of the trial memorandum setting forth a theory accepted by the courts (denial of standard high school diploma based upon competency test result perpetuated earlier intentional discrimination against black students who began their educations in segregated and unequal elementary schools). (9.) In 1986, I wrote two memoranda on racial discrimination claims for use in the legal services program. (a) The first, focusing on racial discrimination in school discipline and curricula, contained the following headings: \"Typical Problems,\" \"Gathering Information About a Discrimination Problem,\" \"The Legal Bases of Racial Discrimination Claims\" (including 4 constitutional and Title VI claims), \"Other Material re Disparate Discipline,\" \"Material Regarding Discrimination in Curriculum,\" and \"Remedial Principles.\" (b) The second memorandum is titled \"Discriminatory Allocation of Resources within a School District\" (14 pages). I first used this document in a training program for legal services attorneys in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1986. (10.) I participated during my tenure at CLE, as a trainer or lecturer, in a minimum of 40 sessions on education issues for legal services workers, parents, and\\or students. One such session in Colorado during the late 1980's for legal services attorneys concerned ways to monitor consent decrees and other judgments in institutional reform cases. I prepared for this event a 34-page memorandum titled \"Materials on Monitoring and - Enforcement of Judgments.\" c. Work on the Ayers Case (11.) In January 1987, the North Mississippi Rural Legal Services Program asked me to join their staff members providing representation to the named plaintiffs and the plaintiff class in the case then styled Ayers v. Allain, Civil Action No. 4:75CV009- B-O, Northern District of Mississippi. Ayers concerns the nature of the obligation of Mississippi officials to eliminate racial disrimination and segregation from the operation of the Mississippi system of public universities. I have played an active role in the case since that time. My work in Ayers through March 1995, totalled in excess of 6,000 hours, and involved, inter alia, framing and responding to discovery requests; taking 5 depositions; identifying and preparing exhibits; preparing exhibit lists and other materials required as part of the standard pre-trial submission; participating in settlement efforts; making an opening statement; presenting and crossexamining witnesses and otherwise participating in two lengthy hearings (with the second exceeding 40 days of trial); preparing proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law; preparing appellate briefs; arguing before three panels of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, as well as that court sitting en banc, 1 and supporting the efforts of my brother and sister cocounsel. o. Court Appearances (12.) During the course of my legal career, I have made - appearances in the following federal courts: M.D. Ala., S.D.Ala., E.D. Ark., M.D. Fla., S.D. Fla., N.D. Ill., D. Mass., N. D. Miss., E.D. Mich., D. Neb., D. N. H., and D. S. Car.; Court of Appeals for the First, Fifth, Eighth, and Eleventh Circuits (filed briefs and argued); United States Supreme Court (filed briefs). E. Work in this District Court (12.) In September 1995, I began to assist John W. Walker 1 See Ayers v. Allain, 893 F.2d 732 (5th Cir. 1990); Ayers v. Allain, 914 F.2d 676, 677 (5th Cir. 1990) (en bane) (argued in each instance). A fresh appeal followed the district court's March 1995 decision. See Ayers v. Fordice, 879 F. Supp. 1419. I later argued in March 1996 before a panel considering a stay of a part of the district court's order and on November 4, 1996 before the panel hearing the matter on the merits. See Ayers v. Fordice, 111 F.3d 1183, 1188 (5th Cir. 1997). 6 and other persons in his firm with various facets of their work. My many projects have included: several fee petitions; work on a large number of issues in the Little Rock Sch. Dist. v. Pulaski County Special Sch. Dist. case; participation in the Honorable v. North Little Rock Sch. Dist. student discipline case in this court; preparation of the appellees' brief on appeal in Day and Hollowell v. Johnson, a case in which Judge Howard invalidated in part on the basis of 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1981 and Title VII, the attempt by the newly elected sheriff to discharge two African American captains; support to an attorney in the Walker firm in the ongoing MOPAC case involving Title VII issues, as well as work on other employment discrimination issues; and preparation of the complaint and discovery efforts in Young v. City of Little - Rock, alleging the wrongful arrest and detention of a black resident of Little Rock. F. The Current Fee Petition (13.) Attachment One to this Declaration, which is incorporated herein by reference, sets forth my time and activities in working on this particular petition. It is based upon records prepared on a daily basis. An award is sought  "},{"id":"uwg_phc_thomas19970616","title":"Oral history interview with Lindsay Thomas, 1997 June 16","collection_id":"uwg_phc","collection_title":"Georgia Political Papers and Oral History Program","dcterms_contributor":["Steely, Mel","University of West Georgia.

The former investment banker was the president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. He lives in Atlanta.; Interviewed by Dr. Mel Steely on June 16, 1997 (possibly at the office of Lindsay Thomas at the GA Chamber of Commerce).; Dr. Steely begins by mentioning that Thomas had last been interviewed for the Georgia Political Heritage Program in August of 1989 at his home in South Georgia, where they had spoken of Thomas' childhood, his early political campaigns and his burgeoning career in Congress. Since the initial interview Thomas successfully ran for reelection in 1990; Thomas talks about this particular campaign and discloses how television ads had played a part. Lindsay discusses his role in introducing legislation, which did not occur too often, divulging that he had been most proud of the advances he had made for environmental causes, such as with turtle excluder devices and the wetlands bill. Thomas then discusses the Cold War, the nuclear arms race and the fall of the Berlin Wall, moving on to talk about U.S. involvement with the Contras of Central America and a discussion of Speaker Wright. Thomas then discusses his opinion of President George H. W. Bush and the foreign policy of the U.S. The congressional debates over the Gulf War is the next topic of conversation and Thomas speaks of his meeting with Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, who convinced him of the necessity of America's involvement in the impending war. Thomas then speaks of the importance of leadership within the U.S. armed forces, including that of the 24th Infantry Division. The shift from President George H. W. Bush to President Bill Clinton is discussed next, as are both presidents' popularity ratings and how hypocrisy played a role. Thomas goes on to discuss the House banking scandal of 1992 and of the ('sensationalizing') role of the press. Thomas served alongside three different Speakers of the House, Tip O'Neill, Jim Wright and Tom Foley, and several Majority Whips including Tony Coelho, Bill Gray and David Bonior; he discusses their political tactics, giving his opinion on each. Thomas addresses what he thinks are essential of a representative and discusses the delegation with which he worked. He discusses his own bipartisanship and his identification as an independent, as well as his decision to leave Washington, D.C. Georgia's politics are discussed, including governors Zell Miller and Joe Frank Harris. Thomas worked from 1993 to 1996 on the legalities concerning the 1996 Summer Olympics, he talks about these issues and about how Speaker Tom Murphy had responded to the Olympic Games. The conversation next turns to the future of the Republican and Democratic parties, the current polarizing trends and what Thomas would like to see happen. He discusses the presidency of Bill Clinton and the importance of the business sector and local governance. Thomas closes the discussion by stating that he no longer wants to work in politics; he would prefer to work on his farm, spend time with his grandchildren, work in the preservation of local ecology and pursue writing.

Little Rock School District (LRSD) appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District o! Arkansas requiring it to pay the Pulaski County School District (PCSSD) $345,294 pursuant to a settlement agreement in the interdistrict desegregation case. We a!!irm. the order or the district court essentially tor the reasons stated in its opinion. At issue in this appeal is the entitlement to majority-tominori ty [M-to-M] payments and the amount each school district would receive pursuant to the settlement agreement. Paragraph oot the settlement agreement provides in part: [A]ll M-to-M payments generated by Interdistrict School students paid by the State to LRSD and PCSSD (including payment to each district as sending district and receiving district), except transportation payments, will be pooled for the education of all Interdistrict School students. The instructional budgets ot the Interdistrict Schools will be equalized. This provision does not change each district's obligation to construct and maintain the Interdistrict Schools within its boundaries. (Settlement Agreement, II, 1 0(3) .) Pursuant to this court's. instructions, the district court judge conducted an evidentiary hearing and subsequently ordered: [F]or each school year, the amount of LRSD's and PCSSD's financial contribution to the pool is calculated in accordance with Paragraph O of the Settlement Agreement. [There is no dispute as to the methodology for calculating these amounts.] The total amount of fwids in the pool for a given year is then divided by the total -4- 03/ZS/97 17:41 US COllRT APPEALS number or M-to-M students in the interdistrict schools in both districts to arrive at an equalized, per-student dollar amount for educating them in the interdistrict schools. For each school district, the equalized perstudent dollar amount is then multiplied by the number of M-to-M students hosted by that district in its interdistrict schools to deteanine the amount of the pooled funds to which each district is entitled. Little Reck school Dist, Y, Pulaski Cty, Special Schgol Dist, Ne. l, LR-C-82-866, at 3 (E.D. Ark. July 30, 1996) (citations omitted). ijooa On appeal, LRSD argues that the district court erred in dividing the pool based on the number ot M-to-M transter students; rather, it asserts that the court should have divided the pool based on the total number of students in the interdistrict schools. Under LRSD's method o! calc~lation, PCSSD would owe LRSD - Sl,270,839, instead o! LRSD's owing PCSSD $345,294 as ordered by the district court. We review the factual findings ot the district court under a clearly erroneous standard and its interpretation ot the Settlement Agreement de ngyg. The district coUit's interpretation of paragraph O is an acceptable one: it is just, it will promote voluntary interdistrict transfers to interdistrict schools, and it will provide a financial incentive to both districts to receive Mto- M tra.nster students. ~ Little Bock School Dist, Y, Pulaski Cty, Special School Dist No, 1. 921 F.2d 1371, 1394 (8th Cir. 1990). We recognize that LRSD spends more per pupil to educate its students in the interdistrict schools than PCSSD does and that the district court fonnula will not fully equalize these costs, but we do not believe that these differences are sufficient to release LRSD from its pooling obligation. Such a release would certainly -5- OJ12819i li:4J liS COl,;RI Af'f'\u0026u..S inhibit efforts to provide an integrated education to many student~, the principal objective of the school integration propo.!al. Nor are the differences sufficient to justify the alternative method of equalization suggested by LRSD. The practical problems in that approach were found by the district court to be insurmountable and we are not prepared to say that the district court erred in making that assessment. The judgment of the district court is attirmed. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. -6- IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT vs. NO. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, et al. BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES, PRE-JUDGMENT INTEREST AND POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST The Pulaski County Special School District (\"PCSSD\") submits this brief in support of its motion for attorneys' fees in connection with its motion to enforce the \"pooling\" agreement. Without doubt, PCSSD was the prevailing party in this contract dispute and, pursuant to Ark. Code Ann.  16-22-308, this Court may award reasonable fees. Alternatively, this Court may award fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C.  1988. PCSSD is further entitled to pre- and post-judgment interest on this Court's award of $345,294 to PCSSD. BACKGROUND By motion dated January 7, 1994, PCSSD sought to enforce the Settlement Agreement, requiring the Little Rock School District (\"LRSD\") to reimburse the PCSSD for monies owed pursuant to the \"pooling\" agreement of the parties regarding Majority-to-Minority (\"M-to-M\") payments received from the State of Arkansas. LRSD opposed PCSSD's motion, and this Court entered an order on March 16, 1994 granting PCSSD's motion. The Court of Appeals vacated this Court's March 16, 1994 order by opinion dated July 12, 1995, and remanded for an evidentiary hearing. 1 Pursuant to the Eighth Circuit's order, this Court held an evidentiary hearing on September 8, 1995, and again on December 14, 1995. Both parties filed post-hearing briefs addressing the issues raised in the Eighth Circuit's opinion and this Court again, on July 30, 1996, granted PCSSD's motion and ordered the LRSD to pay over these sums within sixty (60) days. To date, LRSD has paid nothing. LRSD appealed the pooling order to the Eighth Circuit once more. Reviewing the district court's factual findings under a clearly erroneous standard, and its interpretation of the Settlement Agreement de novo, the Eighth Circuit affirmed this Court's order on March 31, 1997, finding the district court's interpretation of Paragraph O (the \"pooling\" agreement) to be just and in furtherance of implementation of the Settlement Agreement. 2 This petition is timely pursuant to this Court's order of August 16, 1996, giving the PCSSD until thirty (30) days after return of the Eighth Circuit's mandate to present this petition. ARGUMENT I. THE PCSSD SHOULD BE AWARDED REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES A. PCSSD Is Entitled to Fees Pursuant to Ark. Code Ann.  16-22- 1 Little Rock School District v. Pulaski Cty Dist. 1, 60 F.3d 435 (8th Cir. 1995). 2 Opinion, p. 5. A copy of the Eighth Circuit's March 31, 1997 opinion is attached to PCSSD's motion as Exhibit A. 2 PCSSD is entitled to request reasonable attorneys' fees pursuant to Ark. Code Ann.  16-22-308, which provides that a prevailing party in a breach of contract case may be allowed reasonable fees to be assessed by the court and collected as costs. This statute may be utilized by a federal court in awarding fees on breach of contract claims brought in federal court. TCBY Systems, Inc. v. RSP Co., 33 F.3d 925 (8th Cir. 1994). There is no fixed formula or policy to be considered in arriving at the amount of the attorneys' fees. There are, however, pertinent considerations w~ich the courts regularly evaluate in exercising their discretion to determine the amount of such award. These factors include (1) the attorneys' judgment, learning, ability, skill, experience, professional standing and advice; (2) the relationship between the parties; (3) the amount or importance of the subject matter of the case; (4) the nature, extent and difficulty of services in research; (5) the -preparation of the pleadings; (6) the proceedings actually taken and the nature and extent of the litigation; and (7) the time and labor devoted to the client's cause, the difficulties presented in the course of the litigation and the results obtained. Crockett \u0026 Brown, P.A. v.Courson, 312 Ark. 363, 849 S.W.2d 938 (1993) (under Ark. Code Ann.  16-22-308); see also Chrisco v. Sun Indus., Inc., 304 Ark. 227, 800 S.W.2d 717 (1990). 3 An evaluation of the above considerations in this action makes clear that PCSSD is entitled to a reasonable attorneys' fee in the amount of at least $45,723.50. 1. The Attorneys' Judgment, Learning Ability, Skill, Experience, Professional Standing and Advice This Court is well acquainted with the PCSSD's attorneys' judgment, learning ability, skill, experience, professional standing and advice. Mr. Jones has represented the PCSSD in this matter since its inception in 1982. 2. The Relationship of the Parties In this long standing action, PCSSD has been required to litigate funding claims against both the State and the other Districts. In this particular instance, PCSSD has litigated the - pooling issue twice before this Court and twice before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The hard fought nature of the pooling dispute is a relevant matter for this Court to consider in fixing the appropriate fee. 3. The Amount and/or Importance of the Subject Matter of the Case This Court ruled that, pursuant to the pooling agreement, the PCSSD is entitled to $345,294 for FY 1991-91 through FY 1994- 95. Equally significant to the monetary award, this Court determined that the pooling agreement interpretation urged by PCSSD -- and adopted by the Court in its order -- would give effect to the meaning the parties attached to the agreement and in a manner that will promote voluntary interdistrict transfers, particularly to interdistrict schools. The operation of the 4 - agreed number of interdistrict schools according to the agreed timetable is considered by the Eighth Circuit to be a crucial element of the Settlement Agreement, and with respect to which no retreat should be approved. 3 Thus, PCSSD achieved not only a substantial monetary award but also a substantial success in the continued implementation of the Settlement Agreement toward the goal of desegregation. 4. The Nature, Extent and Difficulty of Services in Research PCSSD was required to research and submit briefs and supplemental briefs to this Court and to the Eighth Circuit on the pooling issue on multiple occasions. To do so required considerable legal and factual research in order to present the applicable law and facts to this Court and the Court of Appeals. 5. The Preparation of the Pleadings PCSSD respectfully submits that the quality of its pleadings were equal to the results obtained. 6. The Proceedings Actually Taken and the Nature and Extent of the Litigation PCSSD submitted numerous briefs to this Court both before and after remand by the appellate court, participated in two full days of hearings before the Court, and submitted multiple briefs to the Eighth Circuit on two separate appeals of the same pooling issue. With regard to the overall nature and extent of this 3 949 F.2d 253, 256 (8th Cir. 1991). Similarly, on the second appeal of the pooling issue, the Eighth Circuit found that the District Court's interpretation was \"just\" and would promote voluntary interdistrict transfers to interdistrict schools. March 31, 1997 Opinion of the Eighth Circuit, at p. 5. 5 - litigation, this Court is well familiar with all matters related hereto. 7. The Time and Labor Devoted to the Client's Cause, the Difficulties Presented in the Court of the Litigation and the Results Obtained The time and labor devoted to the client's cause was plainly substantial, and is particularized in the Affidavit which accompanies the motion requesting fees. The results obtained for the PCSSD -- and the additional benefit to the overall Settlement Plan -- were surely positive. B. Alternatively, PCSSD Is Entitled to An Award of Fees Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.  1998 The pooling agreement is an integral part of the Settlement Agreement, which embodies the remedy of the various parties in - this desegregation case. Little Rock School District v. Pulaski County Special School District, 921 F.2d 1371 (8th Cir. 1990) PCSSD, by its motion to enforce the pooling portion of the Settlement Agreement, sought to defend that remedy and, as prevailing party, may recover attorneys' fees. Jenkins v. Missouri, 73 F.3d 201, 204 (8th Cir. 1996) (fees available to permit school desegregation plaintiffs to defend remedy); see also Jenkins v. Missouri, 967 F.2d 1248 (8th Cir. 1992) (services devoted to reasonable monitoring of the court's decrees, both to ensure full compliance and to ensure that the plan is indeed working to desegregate the school system, are compensable services); LRSD v. PCSSD, (E.D. Ark. Dec. 10, 1996) (districts 6 - entitled to attorneys fees from State of Arkansas for enforcing financial terms of settlement agreement). This Court found, and the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, that not only was PCSSD's interpretation of the pooling agreement the correct one, but that interpretation would give effect to the Settlement Agreement in a manner that will promote voluntary interdistrict transfers, especially to interdistrict schools. Once again, the operation of the agreed number of interdistrict schools is a crucial element of the Settlement Agreement. Consequently, PCSSD -- by seeking further to effectuate the desegregation remedy through enforcement of the settlement agreement -- is entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1988. II. PCSSD IS ENTITLED TO PREJUDGMENT INTEREST PCSSD brought its motion asking this Court to interpret the pooling agreement in January 1994, at which time the damages PCSSD sought for LRSD's breach of the pooling agreement were capable of determination. Indeed, PCSSD has consistently, since the inception of the pooling agreement, made the calculations in accordance with the formulae/interpretation adopted by the Court and affirmed by the Eighth Circuit. The law of the state where the cause of action arises governs whether a party in a federal action is entitled to 7 - prejudgment interest. Jennings v. Dumas Public School Dist., 763 F.2d 28, 33 (8th Cir. 1985) (citing Bauer v. Uniroyal Tire Co., 630 F.2d 1287, 1290 (8th Cir. 1980). The standard for assessing whether prejudgment interest may be awarded was articulated by the Arkansas Supreme Court in Lovell v. Marianna Fed. Savings and Loan Assoc., 267 Ark. 164, 166, 589 S.W.2d 577 (1979) -- the test is \"whether there is a method of determination of the value of the property at the time of injury.\" The Lovell decision was clarified in Wooten v. Mcclendon, 272 Ark. 61, 612 S.W.2d 105 (1981), by indicating that what must be ascertainable is the \"initial measure of damages\" as distinguished from the precise amount that plaintiff would claim in his complaint or from the amount that the finder of fact would - ultimately award. Under either case, however, the requirement remains only that damages be determinable immediately after the loss. Pre-judgment interest is justified for obvious reasons: an injured party is entitled to have use of his money from a particular date. When deprived of that use, he suffers damages for which he should be granted relief in the form of interest. As a general rule, interest on an improperly disallowed insurance claim accrues from the date the amount due should have been paid under the policy. Missouri State Life Ins. Co. v. Fodrea, 185 Ark. 155, 46 S.W.2d 638 (1932). Arkansas courts have uniformly awarded six per-cent (6%) prejudgment interest in contract 8 - disputes. Wilson v. Lester Hurst Nursery, Inc., 269 Ark. 19, 598 S.W.2d 407 (1980). PCSSD's injury -- the amount it should have received from LRSD pursuant to the pooling agreement since 1991 -- has been capable of determination, indeed readily ascertainable, from the outset. As such, it meets the test of Lovell and its progeny. Accordingly, PCSSD should be awarded prejudgment interest on the award of $345,294. 4 III. PCSSD SHOULD BE AWARDED POST JUDGMENT INTEREST By Arkansas statute, a judgment on a contract is to bear interest at the contractual rate or ten percent (10%), whichever is greater. Ark. Code Ann.  16-65-114. Because the pooling agreement does not contain a provision setting the rate of interest, the statutory rate of 10% is applicable. Further, this post-judgment interest is appropriately awarded not only on the judgment, but also on the amount of pre-judgment interest to provide total compensation for the loss of use of the money prior to -- as well as subsequent to -- the date of the judgment. Hopper v. Denham, 281 Ark. 84, 661 S.W.2d 379 (1983). PCSSD is entitled to payment from LRSD pursuant to the pooling agreement but, to date, LRSD has paid not one cent. This Court's order of July 30, 1996 required the LRSD to pay over 4 PCSSD is calculating the interest it claims and will submit its calculations to the Court at the appropriate time, unless, of course, agreement can be reached with the LRSD regarding the accuracy of the calculations. 9 - these sums within sixty (60) days; this has plainly not been done. The award of post-judgment interest, including post judgment interest on any prejudgment interest awarded, is certainly warranted in this instance. CONCLUSION For all of the foregoing reasons, PCSSD respectfully urges this Court to award it reasonable fees for the prosecution of its Pooling motion, as well as pre- and post-judgment interest on the award of $345,294.

Attached as Exhibit A are the billing records representing time reasonably expended in pursuit of these claims against the LRSD beginning September 13, 1993 and continuing through June 2, 1997. This file has been separately maintained as regards this claim and all time and expense entries relate only to the pooling claim. It is my professional belief that the narratives submitted as Exhibit A reasonably reflect time actually spent and devoted toward the pooling orders. Please note that the time entries are kept in tenths of an hour units as opposed to other firms whose time is recorded in units of one quarter hour. Because of the financial circumstances of the PCSSD, we have represented them in this matter at reduced hourly rates. My - standard rate for clients on January l, 1993 was $150.00 per hour; 1 January 1, 1994 was $160.00 per hour; January 1, 1995 was $170.00 per hour; January 1, 1996 was $175.00 per hour and is now $180.00 per hour. However, during 1996, I have represented the PCSSD in this matter for $135. 00 per hour. I have been a partner since January 1, 1981. Claire Shows Hancock has been a licensed attorney practicing primarily in New York City where her last standard hourly rate was $245.00 per hour. Her normal hourly rate in Little Rock is now $155.00 an hour as compared to $145.00 an hour 1996, and she is also a partner. She too has represented the PCSSD in this matter at the reduced hourly rate of $110.00 an hour. Angell Jones was the Manager of our Litigation Support Department. That department evolved because of the instant case - and several other complex cases involving the creation of databases and the management and retrieval of hundreds of thousands of documents and pleadings. Her hourly rate during 1996 has been $75. 00 an hour and that is her normal hourly rate. In 1993 her hourly rate was $55.00 as it was in 1994. It rose to $60.00 an hour in 1995. Valerie Bryant is a paralegal in the Litigation Support Department. She is primarily charged with maintaining this litigation database as well as with the management of the hundreds of thousands of documents that this case involves. Her normal hourly rate is $60.00 an hour and that is what she was paid by the PCSSD during 1997. Her rate in 1994 was $45.00 an hour, and was $55.00 an hour in both 1995 and 1996. 2 Sherry Murphy is a paralegal in the Litigation Support Department. Ms. Murphy's hourly rate is $60.00 an hour, up from $55.00 an hour in 1995. I respectfully submit that a total fee award of hours multiplied by standard 1996 rates would be appropriate in this matter, as reflected on the attached fee statement. These rates are consistent with those commonly found within the community for this type of work. STATE OF ARKANSAS COUNTY OF PULASKI \\ - .. ,..

Since the December printout was mailed, several districts submitted corrections in data that affect their aid in selected categories and in some cases, affect the aid of other districts. In addition, changes in ADM have been required as a result of attendance audits conducted by the department. Please note the following changes due to these corrections: Educational Excellence Trust Funds\nThe percentage of funds made available to school districts for Educational Excellence Trust Funds is increased from 9.693% in December to 9.696% in May. This is necessary to stay within the total state allotment of $119,145,693. There should be no adverse effect on salary requirements to any district due to this change. Debt Service SUJ)l)lemental Payment: The funding factor is auced from $12.89 in December to $12.88 in May. This is necessary to stay within the total state allotment of $20 million.

The State Average ADM Growth is increased from 1.2'7% in December to 1.36% in May. This adjustment is necessary to stay within the total state allotment of $5 million. This change is a direct result of an attendance audit that affected the Growth Facilities Funding calculation. Please remember that districts were paid 90% of the Growth Facilities Funding in December and the remaining 10% will be paid in June. Although districts will not receive the amount projected in December most districts should receive some additional funds. If these changes have resulted in an overpayment, those districts will be contacted individually. Additional Base Fundin~: Slight changes in Additional Base Funding have occurred due to differences in rounding when calculating each district's Weighted Average Millage Rate.

Attached is that copy. Also, NHTSA and the Arkansas Department of Education encourage all school districts to develop and implement a program that would insure that all outstanding recall work is completed on each school bus within the district's fleet during the summer vacation maintenance period. U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Dear Mr. Spence Holder: 1-'iAY 2 7 1937 SCHOOL TR,4. N5,.0RTATtON 400 Seventh Street, S. W. Washington. D.C. 20590 NSA-lllwbl TAB97-001a The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is 'writing this letter to provide State Pupil Transportation Directors with the enclosed third annual NHTSA School Bus Safety Assurance Program Recall Listing. Safety recalls involving school bus handrails remain of great concern to the agency. There continue to be reports of children snagging articles of clothing on the handrails as they exit the bus. To date. defective school bus handrails have caused at least seven fatalities and numerous injuries. State Pupil Transportation Directors are again requested to emphasize to each school district the importance of immediately having all relevant handrail recall remedy work completed on all involved school buses. Information specifically relating to school bus handrail recalls can be found in the Recall Listing on pages 6 through 10. The agency has included a new section in this year's edition that specifically identifies new school bus recalls that have been initiated since the publication of the last Recall Listing in June 1996. Information on these new school bus recalls can be found in the current Recall Listing on pages 11 through 16. NHTSA strongly recommends that a copy of the School Bus Safety Assurance Program Recall Listing be forwarded to each school district. In addition, the agency is requesting each State Pupil Transportation Director to encourage all state school districts to develop and implement - SAFETY BEL TS SAVE LIVES AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE (800) 424-9393 Wash. D.C. Area 366-0123 a program that would ensure that all out-standing recall remedy work is completed on each school bus within the district's fleet during the summer vacation maintenance period. School buses owned and/or operated by contractors should also be advised of the safety recalls and provide assurances to the state/district that all recall work is completed. The agency has also included a User Comment Form in this year's edition. The primary purpose of the User Comment Form is to allow you the user to make suggestions on how future editions of the School Bus Safety Assurance Program Recall List can be improved to better serve the users of this information. The agency strongly encourages you to complete the User Comment Form and fax it back to us at the number indicated on the form. The success of the School Bus Safety Assurance Program is dependent on the willingness of each of us concerned with the transportation of children to review the enclosed recall listing and make every effort to ensure that buses within their purview are corrected during the summer vacation maintenance period.

'.':HTSA performs this responsibility. in pan. by monitoring the perform:mce of ,safety recall campaigns conducted hy manufacturers to remeJy a safety defect or noncompi-iancecondition. The prompt remedy of school huses involved in safety recall campaigns is of special concern to rhe agency because the student occupants of a school bus could he subject to multiple injuries or even loss ,1r life if a recalled safety defect or noncompliance condition is not corrected in a timely manner. In order to respond to heightened public concern regarding the safety of students riding school buses. the agency initiated the \"School Bus Safety Assurance Program\" in May 1995. The main purpose of this program is to inform State Transportation Inspection Program Directors. State Pupli Transpnnation Dirccrors. interested association groups. schooi Jistricr :--ersnnnel. nonpublic s..:hool bus uwners. parents. and members nl the general puhlic t)r' the current safety recalls involYing school huses. The School Bus Recall Listing consists of all school bus related safery recall camoaigns that have heen initiated by school hus manufacturers for the past five years. .-\\n updated Recall Listing will be published in May of each succeeding year. just prior to the beginning or' the school bus summer vacation maintenance period. Each recall entry gives the following information: (a) the corporate name of the recalling manufacturer(s): (b) the phone number of the recalling manufacturer(s): (c) the production dates of the school buses being recalled: (d) the school bus modeI(s) being recalled: (e) the number of school buses being recalled: (f) the NHTSA assigned recall number: (g) the manufacrurer assigned recall number if different from the NHTSA assigned recall number: and (h) a brief description of the safety recall campaign. School buses remain nne of the safest forms of transportation in the united Srates. The success of the School Bus Safety Assurance Program is dependent on rhe willingness of each of us concerned with the transportation of children to review the enclosed recall listing and make every effort to insure that buses within our purview are corrected as soon as possible. If you have any questions concerning the School Bus Safety Assurance Program. please contact either Mr. Bill Lewis or Mr. Jon White at (202) 366-5227 or by facsimile at \u0026lt;202) 366-7882.

'.'IHTSA is taking this unprecedented action in \\ lrder to assure that all sl.'.honl buses \\\\ ith defecti,e handrails ha,e the necessary recall remedy work completed. For eal.'.h handrail recall campaign the recalling manufacturer is requested lO provide a list of all involved school bus owners lO the agency. Based on this list. a letter is, sent by the agency to all owners of school buses which are identified as not having the necessary recall work completed . A survey is also sent lO a representative sample of school bus owners involved in each recall campaign to identify recall related problems and to verify that the recall remedy is actually correcting 1he handrail snagging condition .. \\II recall related problems iJentified by '1HTS . .\\  ~ mrnc\nr surYey are rhen rnr\\\\'anl rn rhe recailing manufacturer for resolution. 6  School Bus Handrail Program E n:n though school buses\nire\nirnon~ tht: s\nifest of all modes of transportation. :m aYerage of about -+2 school children are kilkd eacn yl!ar in schooi bus-related incidents. Since most children arc h.ilkd or in_iured outsidl! thi: hus.\nHtention should be focused on the entrance and the imml.:'Ji:11c area around thi: i1us -:ntrancl.:'. Ri:cl!ntly. in ri:sponsi: to the incn:ased number of hanor::ii i snagging incidents. the :\ncilot,i bus handrail issu0- became onl! nf :\\HTS:\\ s highest priorities This l!ffort has tocusl!d L111 the snagging of children s clothing or book bag straps on stairneil handrails as \"ell as thi: rdated issut:s of dri,er training and clothing design. As a result of these endeaYors. many bus manufacturers are conducting satety recall campaigns to modify handrails. It is important to note that certain of the handrail recalls initiated in I 993 have been superseded by new. improved remedies. School buses involved in these earlier recalls must be re-campaigned. Care must be exercised in re\\\"iewing the current recall listing. 7 Handrail Inspection Procedure A uniform procedure for inspecting school bus handrails. and identifying tho~e which pose a safety hazard. has been developed. This inspection procedure applies to all types of school buses and should be used to test all school bus handrails. Inspection Tool This inspection procedure will use a standard 1/2 .. hex nut measuring 3/4 .. across the flats. This nut is tied to l/8\"'thick cotton cord measuring 36\" in length with overhand knots. The drawstring should have a minimum length of 30\" when tied to the nut and attached so that a pull of at least ten pounds does not separate the nut from or break the drawstring. All inspectors conducting school bus inspections should be equipped with this inexpensi\\'e tool. l nspection Proccdu re 1. Stand on the ground outside t ,r the hus , Drnr the inspection to()I het\\\\een the handrail and step well wall. ~imulatin~ the typical way students exit the hus 3. Draw the inspection tool through the handrail in a smo0th. continuous slow motion 4. Repeat this procedure several times (minimum of three times) Note: It is important to drop the inspection tool over the handrail in such a way as to simulate a child exiting the bus. This is a drop and drag test. Do not create a snagging situation by placing the nut in an area that would not be exposed to a drawstring 0r other articles. Inspection Results 1. Take the bus out of service and repair it if the inspection tool catches or snags anywhere on the handrail. 2. If the nut separates from the drawstring or the drawstring breaks. reassemble the tool and retest. If the inspection tool pulls freely without catching or snagging. the bus should not be rejected. This inspection procedure is intended as a means of objectively identifying those handrails with a potential for a safety hazard. Inspectors should not recommend procedures for handrail modification. Safety recall compliance should be ensured during c:ach inspection. It is important to inspect all school buses including those that have heen repaired. 8 .. .. .. \" Compan, .\\mtr:rn Blue Bird Carpenter Coach \u0026amp; Equipment Collins Corbeil Gillig Girardin :Vlid Bus 'iturdicorp.

Under the guidelines, the Department of Education is charged with supervising the programming as well as approving credit courses that are proposed for the school curriculum. Schools that currently provide satellite courses, as well as those that intend to provide one or more courses via satellite-delivered instruction, must complete the one-page Application for Satellite Instruction 1997-98 form. The providers have been advised that they should not accept registration information that does not include an approved Department of Education application. Currently, there are four approved providers of instructional programming. Each establishes different registration dates, and each has a different method for completing the registration process. Each school must register students directly with the provider. Due to the changing nature of program delivery, each school should verify that Satellite receiver equipment continues to be compatible with that used by the provider. A Distance Learning Committee, chaired by Dr. Charles D. Watson, is charged with the responsibility of linking the Department with the providers of distance learning and reviewing and recommending approval of applications for credit-based courses. The committee will provide technical assistance to schools as needed to assure quality instructional programs through this medium. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and a copy of the approval will be returned to the district. Applications should be in our office no later than Friday, August 1, 1997.

COURSE FORMAT Spanish via Satellite (SVS) utilizes a five-day per week format, in which the learning experience is enhanced through a variety of instructional methods, including textbooks, audiocassette tapes, and computer software, as well as live television broadcasts. Course content is comparable to traditional beginning Spanish courses .. Students learn to communicate with people of the Spanish-speaking world through instruction and practice in the four basic skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Both Spanish I and II emphasize cultural awareness. Two -!5-minute, li\\e television (via satellite) programs are presented each Tuesd,1\\ and Thursday, at the following times: SPANISH l-1l:30PM - 1:15 PMCT SPANISH II- 1:30PM - l:15 PMCT During these broadcasts, a random rotation of schools assures telephone interaction between students and the studio instmctor. Scheduling of classes at times which coincide ,,ith the live broadcasts is strongly encouraged. On non-broadcast d,1ys, a classroom Teaching Partner conducts learning activities developed and pro\\ided by the instructor. The instructor or an assist,mt is only il toll-free call away. A tol:-free telephone line is 1-.1ro\\ided to facilitate contact between the ECC instructor and staff, and the Teaching Partners and students. T COURSE EQUIPMENT The participating school\"s downlink (satellite dish antenna and receiver) must be able to receive Ku-Band frequencies. Please be aware that there are two major satellite bands: C-Band and Ku-Band, which, somewhat like AM and FM radio, cannot automatically be received on all equipment. This equipment must be steerable in order to adjust for any transponder changes. Some CBand equipment can be retrofitted to receive Ku-Band signals. To verify this option, contact your equipment supplier. Other necessary equipment includes:  television monitor (2~ rcc,,mm,n,k,11  videocassette recorder (to record broadcasts off-air)  dedicated telephone line  cordless telephone (,,,,ak,r-plwn, tund1,\u0026gt;11 Ice \"111lh\"'.Ocd l  audiocassette player/ recorder or CD player/ cassette recorder (with tone or bass/ treble control: a \"boom-box\" is ideal) 1Cll , ''- ,r rcc,,,11111,11,kd 1,,,. ,l.111t, ,111cl 1,,ngc, it, 1 l APR-21-1997 13:41 WESTCOTT 972 716 5109 P.04 United Star Distance Learning Consortium (USDLC), Inc. 1997-98 Broadcast Schedule StarNet (formerly TI-IN Network) nme PT MT CT ET Chllnnel A (2132\u0026gt; Channel B rns61 4:30Lm. 5:30a.m. 6:JOLm. 7\n30Lm, CNN Newsroom 5:00 a.111. 6:00 a.m. 7:00a.m. 8:00Lm.

Some weeks will have two broadcasts\nother weeks will have three. A detailed calendar/ schedule for Japanes_e I and II can be provided to schools interested in enrollment. Video programs need to be taped and used in the sequence of their broadcast so that the audio interaction sessions can properly support video instruction. It is not necessary to watch the programs as they air since they are not live\nhowever, programs must be viewed on the day of the broadcast or before the audio interaction session as the lessons are sequential. For both Japanese I and II, the first air date for the 1997 - 1998 school year is Wednesday, September 3, 1997. The final broadcast date will be Wednesday May 20, 1998. There will be days throughout the year that will be used to \"catch up.\" This will mean that there will not be a broadcast on that day, and class time will be used for students to get caught up on related instructional activities, review and practice what they've learned, and prepare for upcoming exams. There will also be days when there will not be a broadcast due to holidays. As closely as possible, every effort will be made to parallel the holiday schedule for the majority of schools. It will be the facilitator's role to coordinate the use of the video broadcasts, the classroom activities, the audio interaction sessions, and the required assessment with the transmission schedule. 3 en n :r tD 0..

Enclosed is a copy of the Statewide Information System Manual for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years. The manual includes the data elements, submission cycles, list of reports, and calculations which will be used for the initial implementation of the system. The manual and data elements will be updated annually in consultation with school districts and educational service cooperative staff to reflect changes in state and federal reporting requirements. Every effort will be made to distribute the annual update as far in advance of the new fiscal year as possible. Anticipated changes for the 1998-99 school year include revision in the course code/job assignment numbering system to make the numbering system more standard and reflective of the variety of courses being offered. Changes in the numbering system should be available by January 1998. The manual cannot answer all questions, especially for non-APSCN districts. Please contact statewide information system project leader, John Gately at 682-5246 (johng@apscn.kl2.ar.us) or the data base manager, Brenda Caudle at 682-5192 (brendac@apscn.kl2.ar.us) with any comments or concerns.
