Ml^ORMACK. CLERK OEP CLERK By:. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF V. No. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 1, ET AL DEFENDANTS MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL INTERVENORS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL INTERVENORS ORDER On May 20, 1994, the Little Rock School District (\"LRSD) filed a motion to close Stephens Incentive School [doc.#2191]. In its motion. the LRSD states that it has constructed the number of interdistrict schools required by the desegregation plans, and that. assuming the Court grants its April 20, 1994 motion to designate Washington as the required second new LRSD interdistrict school in place of a new Stephens interdistrict school [doc.#2160], the district will have operating within its boundaries the required number of interdistrict schools. The LRSD goes on to state that Stephens school is in an area of declining enrollment and population (and, in fact, has experienced declining enrollment)\nthat there are a large number of empty school seats in the Stephens general area (including empty seats at the King and Washington interdistrict schools)\nand that the facility itself is in a state of decline, the renovation of which cannot be justified. The Court held a hearing on June 7, 1994, to address the issues raised in the LRSD's motion to close Stephens. During the hearing. 1 14^ the LRSD provided the Court with a II Stipulation and Settlement Agreement Regarding Stephens and Garland Schools\" (\"stipulation\") in which it proposes building a new Stephens school within the same general area in which the Stephens and Garland schools are now locatedJ In the stipulation, the LRSD states that the new Stephens will be a magnet school with a student body made up primarily of black students and white students from the LRSD and also some majority-to-minority transfer students from the Pulaski County Special School District (\"PCSSD\"). The LRSD further states that Garland Incentive School will be closed upon the opening of the new Stephens school, and that the Garland students will thereupon be assigned to Stephens. Although all parties to this lawsuit approved the stipulation. the Court announced to the parties its conclusion that the stipulation was deficient in several respects (which will be discussed infra), and that certain information would be required before the Court could give its final approval for the construction of a new Stephens school. Among other things, the Court stated that it required detailed plans for student recruitment and a long- range facilities plan which takes into account the declining and shifting populations in Little Rock and which justifies construction of a 700-seat school which the parties have proposed for the Stephens site. The Court did, however, state that Stephens could be closed and its students reassigned. 1 The stipulation, which was filed on June 8, was approved by all parties to this lawsuit. 2In a status report regarding Stephens that was filed August 24, 1994, the LRSD stated that it had begun a long-range facility study and that it intended to begin demolition of Stephens in the immediate future. The district also stated that it would not begin construction of a new Stephens school building until the parties had addressed issues raised by the Court at the June 7 hearing. such as the size of the school and how it would be populated and desegregated. However, it has now been some five months since the LRSD's status report and the information requested by the Court in June 1994 has yet to be submitted. Because the target date for the opening of the new Stephens school draws ever closer, the Court now reiterates what was stated at the June 7 hearing and what is required of the LRSD before this Court will approve construction of a new Stephens school as set forth in the stipulation. As indicated at the June 7 hearing. the LRSD's motions to designate Washington as the new interdistrict school required by the desegregation plan and to close the Stephens Incentive School [doc.#'s 2160 and 2191] should both be and hereby are granted. In approving the LRSD's motion to close Stephens, the Court reiterates that the LRSD is obligated to recruit white students to desegregate the remaining incentive schools. The Court will continue to closely watch all proposed school closings and school capacity 2 The original target date for completion of the facilities study, as noted in the July 29, 1994 LRSD management tool, was November 23, 1994. The target date remained the same in the August and September management tools, but changed to January 30, 1995 in the management tool dated October 31, 1994. The November 30,1994 management tool changed the target date again to August 15, 1995. 3alterations to determine the effect on desegregation and whether there is a pattern of closing schools in areas largely inhabited by black citizens while increasing the capacity of schools in areas largely inhabited by white citizens. With respect to the construction of a new Stephens school, the LRSD cites as justification for closing Stephens the fact that the school has experienced declining enrollment and is located in an area of decreasing population and student enrollment. In this regard, the LRSD states that there are many empty school seats in the Stephens general area, including over 350 vacant seats at the King and Washington interdistrict schools. Nevertheless, the LRSD proposes building a new 700-seat school on the current Stephens site, notwithstanding the fact that during the 1993-94 school year. a total of only 350 students attended Stephens and Garland combined (only 218 of which lived within the schools' attendance zones), and notwithstanding the fact that the LRSD itself indicates that such data counsels against constructing a new Stephens school in the area now under consideration. Indeed, the LRSD states in its brief accompanying its motion for modification of the desegregation plan that ''[t]he 1990 census and recent LRSD and PCSSD enrollment data show that there is no longer a need for new construction which would justify the building of a new interdistrict school,\" and that \"[t]he cost of constructing a new interdistrict school and the high per pupil expenditure required to operate a school in an area of 3 205 children attended Garland (136 from the attendance zone), and 145 attended Stephens (82 from the attendance zone). 4declining population and enrollment are a legitimate concern to LRSD which should be considered by the Court as a factor supporting the requested consent decree modification.\" (Brief in Support, at pg. 29 and 32.) Because of the apparent contradictions contained within the LRSD's proposals, the Court stated that the LRSD must justify the construction of a new school at the existing Stephens site as a prerequisite to the Court approving the stipulation. Specifically, the Court stated that it requires detailed information regarding the size of the new Stephens school to be constructed and the basis for the school's capacity\ndetailed information regarding the plan for recruiting white students\ndetailed information regarding student assignment zones\nand detailed information regarding the impact of the new Stephens school on the racial balance of all the schools. In addition, the Court stated that it requires a new long-range facilities plan that will guide the district's use of its facilities for several years to come. At the hearing, the Court expressed concern over the controversy that had developed when the district prepared to close Baseline Elementary School as the 1993- 94 school year was ending. Many parents at the hearing told the Court they were unaware or surprised at the district's plans to close Baseline, and that they believed the district was not proceeding in good faith to involve the parents and community in making the decisions that directly affected them, their children. and their neighborhood. 5The desegregation plans repeatedly stress the importance of involving parents and other citizens in the schools, calling for the districts to \"solicit and sustain community involvement\" (Interdistrict Plan, pg. 66). The Court of Appeals has recognized the importance of this aspect of the desegregation plans. identifying appropriate parent involvement as an element of the plans which is \"crucial. and with respect to which no retreat should be approved.\" Appeal of Little Rock School District. 949 F.2d 253, 256 (Sth Cir. 1991). This Court has continued to emphasize the role which meaningful parent involvement plays in keeping the community happy with its schools. The Court has stressed that the public is better satisfied when the parties keep citizens adequately informed and involved, and when the districts do a good job of helping their constituents anticipate and prepare for the changes that affect their schools. The Court has noted the link between information. involvement, and stability: \"Anticipating changes and having a process to go through when changes are taking place are very important to stability.\" (June 28, 1994 Hearing Transcript, pg. 55.) Furthermore, the desegregation plan and orders of this Court recognize that \"desegregation will succeed only so far as the community supports and participates in it.\" (December 30, 1992 Order, pg. 17.) Any facilities study which the district conducts must yield a facilities plan which incorporates a coherent and well-reasoned decision-making process that will guide the district in changing the use (including closure) of any school or building. That process must specifically involve the community with the aim of 6preventing situations of trepidation similar to that which surrounded the potential closing of Baseline. The 1988 facilities study, which was produced for the LRSD by Stanton Leggett and Associates and was referred to at the hearing, was quite comprehensive, but it is no longer current. As the LRSD develops its facilities plan, the district may wish to include the same type of information which that study covered, incorporating current data. However, rather than details concerning the condition of physical plants and equipment, the Court is more interested in the district developing criteria for determining how its buildings will be used, modified, expanded, or closed based on information that specifically takes into consideration the district's desegregation obligations. including community involvement. and the effect that building use has on students and achieving the desegregation goals. Components of the facilities plan, as well as minimum planning factors and considerations the LRSD must use, are set forth below. These items are broad general categories to be utilized with respect to determining whether and how the function of a school or other district building might be altered.* The detailed planning of the items should be executed by the LRSD, although the Court notes that its Office of Desegregation Monitoring remains available to provide assistance. Although the LRSD is free to conduct a study that is as comprehensive and detailed as it wishes, the facilities plan should be based at a minimum on those factors Of course, closing schools is a modification of the desegregation plan and the requisite process must be followed. 4 7t listed below\nA. A facilities needs assessment based on trends in student population and staffing, on demographic and geographic considerations, and on student assignment zones. B. An analysis of facility resources, including capacities. location, campus size, and any special features or limitations. C. A proposed facilities use plan for all district buildings for the next five to ten years that takes into account the factors above and: 1. 2. district goals and objectives desegregation requirements obligations) (including interdistrict 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. decision criteria for facilities actions (criteria the district will use to guide decisions that affect its facilities) identification and analysis of options proposed facilities changes impact of programmatic changes, such as middle schools reassignment of students and the impact on enrollment and racial balance at receiving schools the burden of busing on students impact on financial stability 3. The facilities study should also include an examination of the buildings currently used for administrative space. The Court notes that the district presently expends a considerable sum in renting the Parkin building and a nearby parking lot while several former schools sit empty. At any time the LRSD comes before the Court proposing to change the use of a school or other building, the Court will make its decision on whether to approve the proposal in relation to the district's facilities plan for all of its buildings (based on the elements named above), the extent to which the district has followed the requisite plan modification process, and the manner in 8k which the district has involved the community in its decisions. The Court again stresses that parental involvement is a key requirement of the desegregation plan. As stated in a recent order, the swiftest and surest way out of the federal court is to abide by the terms and spirit of the settlement agreement, and this includes community involvement in the planning and decision-making process with respect to school closings. Only with a cooperative relationship between the district and the community can success in implementing the settlement agreement be achieved. In sum. the Court grants the LRSD's motions to designate Washington as the second interdistrict school which the desegregation plan obligated the district to build and also to close Stephens Incentive School [doc.#'s 2160, 2191]. The Court withholds approval of the construction of a new Stephens school as proposed in the stipulation pending receipt of information and data that demonstrates such construction is justified. IT IS SO ORDERED this day of February 1995.

Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Dr. Roberts: JUN 1 e 1997 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MONITORING The Stephens Area Faith Neighborhood Association would like to go on record endorsing the rebuilding of Stephens School at the original site which was so generously donated by Ms. Charlotte E. Stephens. Stephens School has long been a source of pride for this community and the residents of this area were devastated when it was demolished. At that time there was a promise that Stephens School would be rebuilt, however, no information has been released to the public as to when the construction is scheduled to begin. We know you and the Board are very much aware of the value to our young people of seeing promises being kept. Please do not allow Ms. Stephens contribution to the education of youth in this city to be ended. The presence of a school always makes a positive impact on a community. However, in the absence of our school, this Neighborhood Association continues to promote community awareness through neighborhood revitalization. We are focusing on neighborhood clean-ups, painting and fix-up, weed lot eradication, and helping to make our neighborhood safe. We are aware that Garland School has been proposed for closure for sometime now. Also, we learned that a facility study has been done for Mitchell School which shows that the school is not operating at peak efficiency. A state-of-the-art facility constructed on the Stephens site could support the students from these schools, as well as the students in the Stephens area who are currently attending school in other areas of town. The Stephens Area Faith Neighborhood Association would like to partner with the Little Rock School District and offer its service and support for planning the new school.Dr. Don Roberts May 17, 1997 Page 2 We are aware that the Little Rock School District is in the process of selecting a new superintendent. However, we feel that you will play a vital role in the orientation of the new superintendent to the major issues that are pending, which includes the rebuilding of Stephens School. We are very much interested in the status of the plans to rebuild Stephens School. Looking forward to hearing from you. During day hours I can be reached at 682-4268, or evening at 663-2962.

The proposed policy features several changes from current policy: 1. Provision for an LRSD Competency - Based Diploma to be earned at the Accelerated Learning Center. 2. Enhancement of the current requirements to earn the honors seal. 3. Enhancement of the number of courses in which seniors must enroll. 4. Specification of and increase in the number of courses required for an LRSD Diploma. 5. Delineation of courses required for the Career Focus areas. 6. Inclusion of a more rigorous Recommended Common Core and Career Focus for students interested in more challenge, in meeting the requirements for unconditional admission to college, and for eligibility for the Arkansas Challenge Scholarship. 7. Inclusion of specific standards for transfer students. 8. A phase-in of standards for student participation in the graduation ceremony. The staff considers this proposal as a transition. As more of our planning is implemented, we anticipate coming back in a year or two with more proposed changes in graduation requirements.

LRSD superintendent Les Carnine reminded the audience that todays event is not the first step of the project.

That input was valuable in helping not only plan the building, but more importantly, the educational program that will be established in the new school.\" US Stephens Elementary will replace the former school of the same name that was demolished because of its poor condition and inadequate facilities for current educational needs. Dr. Carnine displayed architectural drawings of the new facility which was designed by Sims-Grisham-Blair Architects of Little Rock. The new $7,5 million building will contain about 75,000 square feet and will house four classrooms at each grade from kindergarten through fifth, as well as three prekindergarten classes.

I appreciate your keeping us posted, as we continue to receive many questions and comments about the future of Mitchell. As you are well aware, Mr. Walker and the Mitchell parents remain vitally concerned. I was surprised to see that the six papers sent to the parents contained only a single statement about the projected opening date for Stephens. That Stephens is scheduled to open in January 2001\" doesnt appear in the body of your January 7, 2000 cover letter\nrather, it is the short last sentence on a page entitled Stephens Elementary School, which is a ver\\' brief list of facts about the new school (page 5 of your fax). Is this mailing the extent of your communication to parents about the projected opening date of the school youre presenting as the alternative to Mitchell? Your letter asks parents to consider Siephens as an option when they lock in 2000-2001 class space for this fall and to reserve your childs space at the selected school this fall. But that same letter doesnt explain that Stephens won t actually be available this fall. Also, am I missing a page in which you explain the districts plan for housing Stephens students until the new school opens half-way through the school year? I want to know how youre ensuring that parents (1) are fully aware of Stephens currently projected opening date\n(2) understand that students will not be able to physically attend Stephens until some five months into the 2000-01 school year\nand (3) are informed of your plans for the interim housing of Stephens students until the schools doors open.

The regular meeting of the Magnet Review Committee was held in the Magnet Review Committee Office, 1920 North Main, Suite 101, North little Rock, on Tuesday, May 7, 1996. Members Present: Dr. Bobby Altom, PCSSD - Chairperson Oliver Dillingham, ADE \"' Marcia Harding, ADE Evelyn Jackson, Joshua lntervenors Sadie Mitchell, LRSD Danny Reed, NLRSD The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by Chairperson Dr. Bobby Altom. He immediately asked for a motion to move the agenda item, \"lnterdistrict Magnet Schools 1996-97 Budget Discussion, forward on the agenda. Marcia Harding made the motion and Danny Reed seconded it. The motion carried unanimously. Donna Grady Creer led the MRC in the discussion on the budget. She called the Committee's attention to the budget which has been received from Mark Milhollen, LRSD, which does not include the five-year plan. The PPE in Draft l is $4,550. Ms. Creer then asked the MRC to look at the proposed budget which does include the five-year plan, noting the PPE is now $4,655. Information contained in the budget was then discussed among MRC members. It was noted that even if the fringe benefits are increased, they should not be placed specifically in the interdistrict magnet schools budget. Marcia Harding said the fringe benefit figures should be backed out again. Sadie Mitchell sald she would contact Mark Milhollen, LRSD, and have him come before the MRC and explain. Dr. Altom asked for Mr. Milhollen to present another set of interdistrict magnet schools budgets with the teacher retirement included, and one without the teacher retirement. Ms. Creer asked if it will be necessary for the magnet school principals to come before the MRC to explain their budget. Ms. Harding said that, rather than have the principals appear before the MRC at this time, it would be better to have Mark Milhollen explain the decreases in personnel, as well as the increased figures in the new budget submissions. It was agreed to have a special-called meeting on May 14, 1996 to discuss the interdistrict magnet schools budget submission for 1996-97 with Mark Milhollen. eF Ms. Harding reminded the MRC that she still needs information to meet with the ADE regarding the business cases for magnet schools, to be included in the five-year program. Dr. Altom asked that Ms. Mitchell, as well as the MRC Office staff, assist Ms. Harding in obtaining the information necessary. Dr. Altom them called for a reading of the minutes of April 9, 1996. He asked if there were any corrections, additions or deletions. Upon hearing none, Danny Reed made a motion to approve the minutes as presented, and Sadie Mitchell seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Donna Grady Creer provided the Executive Director's report. She called the MRC's attention to items in correspondence. She provided Committee members with copies of a memorandum sent to the Student Assignment Officers requesting updated information regarding seat assignments. No action was required by the MRC. A memorandum was sent to the Janet Jones Company, thanking the company for allowing Ms. Creer to present information about magnet schools to the real estate agents. Copies were given to MRC members, but no action was required by the MRC. Copies of a memorandum sent to a prospective magnet school student's parents were given to MRC members. This memorandum provided information on the magnet schools. No action was required by the MRC. The elementary original magnet schools principals received a memorandum from Ms. Creer thanking them for hosting the team of evaluators from Jonesboro and to also provide the schedule for sociogram administration. Copies were given to MRC members, but no action was required by the MRC. A memorandum was sent to Real Estate Central to thank a local real estate agent for bringing a prospective magnet school parent to the MRC Office for information. Copies of the memorandum were given to MRC members for their information. A letter was sent to a possible magnet school parent from Memphis, Tennessee, providing them with information about the magnet schools. Copies of the letter were given to MRC members, but no action was required by the MRC. A copy of the Mann activity calendar for the month of May, 1996 was given to all MRC members for their informaiion. A letter was received from Dr. Henry Williams, Superintendent of LRSD, inviting Ms. Creer to attend a press conference on May 8, 1996, l :00 p.m., on Central High School's campus. This announcement will detail LRSD's ongoing effort to meet the obligations of the Desegregation Plan. Copies were given to MRC members, but no action was required by the MRC. Bills were presented for payment in the amount of $454.66. Evelyn Jackson made a motion to pay the bills, and Oliver Dillingham seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. -2- Copies of newspaper articles since the previous MRC meeting were given to MRC members. Ms. Creer provided a brief overview of the articles. A recruitment update was provided by Ms. Creer. She informed the MRC that it is time to see how many seats still need to be filled. Consequently, she has requested figures from the Student Assignment Officers to establish some targeted recruitment efforts. Ms. Creer is working with real estate companies to make sure that they are apprised of how the magnet schools operate. She is also speaking before real estate agents to keep them informed of the magnet schools. During the International Conference on Magnet Schools, Ms. Creer received several ideas with regard to working with real estate agencies. She plans to utilize some of these new ideas soon. She is planning to have a special day for real estate agents and adopters, similar to the programs that have been held for the school counselors and school secretaries. The production of Annie at Parkview was very good, according to Ms. Creer. She informed the Committee that Parkview does a video of their programs, and Ms. Creer will be purchasing a copy for the MRC Office. Mann's spring performance was great, as usual, as reported by Ms. Creer. She said there was a packed house, and Mann is now charging admission. With regard to vacancies or new hires in the original magnet schools, Ms. Creer reported that there are none at this time. Ms. Mitchell, Mr. Dillingham, and Ms. Creer reported on their attendance at the International Conference on Magnet Schools recently held in Baltimore, Maryland. Ms. Creer said she was proud of the fact that every original magnet school had one or more staff persons there. Some of the interdistrict magnets had representatives as well. It was a very good conference. The big question was, why is Little Rock not presenting anything?\" It has been awhile since they have made a presentation. Ms. Creer said this idea should be kept in mind for the future. Ms. Harding said she misses going to the schools to conduct MRC meetings. She suggested that the MRC might consider this again. It is a good thing to interact with the students and teachers. With regard to an update on the interdistrict magnet schools evaluation report, Ms. Creer informed the MRC that the on-site evaluation team has finished with their tour of the original magnet schools. The preliminary report is that all is well\nmany compliments were received on the schools, especially at Booker. The teams did not find anything that was blatantly derogatory. The finished copy of the 1994-95 lnterdistrict Magnet Schools Evaluation Report should be distributed soon. Ms. Mitchell said she would get a copy of the COE booklet for the MRC Office. -3- Ms. Harding informed the MRC that she has given the Court Order approving the budget for the 1995-96 school year to the Finance Department at the ADE so that additional PPE funds can be released to the schools by the State. This could not be done without the official Court Order, and that is now handled. When no further business was brought before the Committee, Evelyn Jackson made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and Oliver Dillingham seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously, and the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 a.m. -4- Donna Grady Creer Executive Director June 24, 1996 Magnet Review Committee 1900 North Main Street  Suite 101 North Little Rock, Arkansas 72114 The Honorable Susan Webber Wright Judge, U .5.

The total amount budgeted was based on a per-pupil expenditure of 54,660 per student and a projected third-quarter enrollment of 3,639.7 students. This budget submittal also showed an increase of $597 .00 per student over the 1995-96 budget, with the first year of the five-year proposed program improvement plan included. Draft 4 of the interdistrict magnet schools' budget, however, did not reflect any results of salary negotiations which were in progress. Salary negotiations have now been completed, and Draft 5 of the interdistrict magnet schools' budget is attached herewith. Draft 5 includes the revised salary figures and fringe benefits, as well as the first year of the five-year proposed program improvement plan.

This budget submittal also showed an increase of $597 .00 per student over the 1995-96 budget, with the first year of the five-year proposed program improvement plan included. Draft 4 of the interdistrict magnet schools' budget, however, did not reflect any results of salary negotiations which were in progress. Salary negotiations have now been completed, and Draft 5 of the interdistrict magnet schools' budget is attached herewith. Draft 5 includes the revised salary figures and fringe benefits, as well as the first year of the five-year proposed program improvement plan. These factors have resulted in an upward adjustment for tne 1996-97 budget from $4,660 per-pupil expenditure to $4,782, an increase of $122.00 per student from Draft 4 submitted to you on June 24, 1996, and a resulting overall increase of $719.00 per student over the 199 5-96 budget. The total revised budget amount for the 1996-97 interdistrict magnet schools' budget is now $17,361,466. The Magnet Review Committee approved this revised budget (Draft 5) during its regular meeting on September 10, 1996. The MRC now respectfully requests your approval. The Magnet Review Committee is committed to maintaining the existing quality of the interdistrict magnet schools. One of our primary goals is to ensure efficient and effective cost containment while continuing to deliver attractive instructional programs. We will continue to work with the host district as we exercise prudent oversight of the magnet schools' budget. The Honorable Susan Webber Wright -2- September 12, 1996 Thank you for your consideration and response to this important matter.

The proposal now under consideration was communicated to the Court in a letter dated September 12, 1996 [doc. # 2829). There have been no objections to the budget as submitted. The Court has reviewed the budget and notes that it is $2.6 million more than the 1995- 96 budget. The major increases occur in three categories: $ 283,220.00 $1,945.797.00 $ 253,448,00 $2,482,465.00 Certified salaries Fringe benefits Equipment Total 2841 The growth in salaries is due to the usual increases associated with annual step increments and negotiated raises for the 293 certified staff who work in the magnets. The increase in fringe benefits reflects not only the salary increases, but also the change in the state's funding formula that shifted to the districts the teacher retirement dollar match and health insurance contributions that had formerly been made directly by the state. The increase in the equipment budget reflects the costs of implementing the first year of a five-year program improvement plan. The remaining budget growth is due to normal increases in operation. Without objection, the Court approves the budget as submitted.

The budget has been prepared using the actual three quarter average as calculated by the Department of Education for the 1996-97 average daily membership (ADM). ADM information is also attached. A combination of actual expenditures through May 15, 1997 plus an estimate for remaining expenses through June 30, 1997 was used to calculate the line item allocations. The total expenditures arrived at above were divided by the three quarter ADM to determine the per pupil cost. Payments from all parties for 1996-97 will be based on this per pupil cost calculation. Payments for 1997-98 will also be based on this same per pupil rate until the three quarter ADM is determined next year and a new final rate can be calculated for 1997-98. I am requesting approval of the Draft 6 Budget and budget process as outlined above.

Milhollen, Manager, Financial Services SUBJECT: 1996-97 Budget Revision RECEI JUN 2 6 1997 OFFICE OF DESEGREGATION MDrJITORING Certain language contained in the March 1989 Pulaski County School Desegregation Case Settlement Agreement concerning Magnet Surplus Credits expired at the end of the 1994-95 school year. Members of the Magnet Revenue Committee felt that a mechanism should be put in place to address this issue should the need arise. Several meetings were held to discuss strategies. Representatives from the Department of Education as well as the finance managers of the three districts met for a discussion also. The results of these efforts culminated in the adoption on April 8, 1997, of the \"Policy on lnterdistrict Magnet School Budget Process\" by the Magnet Review Committee. (Exhibit# I) The 1996-97 Budget Proposal (Draft 6--Exhibit #2) was prepared based on the criteria established by the Apt ii 8, 1997, policy. Actual 1996-97 average daily membership (ADM) data as calculated by the Department of Education (Exhibit #3) for the first three quarters of the school year was incorporated into the formula. A combination of actual expenditures through May 15, 1997, plus an estimate for remaining expenses through June 30, 1997, was developed to determine the line item allocations. Meetings were held with the six principals to obtain their input to the expenditure process. The total expenditures were then divided by the three quarter ADM to determine the new per pupil cost. Payme\n:ts from all parties for 1996-97 will be based on this per pupil cost calculation. Payments for 1997-98 will also be based on the same per pupil rate until such time as the three quarter ADM is determined and a final rate for 1997-98 is calculated. This new process of \"After the Fact\" settlement wi II now apply to all future budgets. I am requesting approval of the Draft 6 Budget for 1996-97 and the budget Process as outlined above. Attachments (3) Cc: Magnet Review Committee EXHIBIT //1 POLICY ON INTERDISTRICT MAGNET SCHOOL BUDGET PROCESS Adopted February 26, 1997 Current Fiscal Year l. In September, the Magnet Review Committee (MRC) shall provide a total student count in the six original magnets to the participating districts. 2. The Little Rock School District (LRSD) will provide timely, official ADM counts to the MRC after the first, second and third quarters in order to allow prudent financial planning by all affected parties. 3. In January, the LRSD submits previous fiscal year end-of-year budget information to the MRC in an MRC-approved format. 4. In April, the MRC will approve the current fiscal year's final budget for the six original magnet schools after the parties hove received the first three quarters' ADM overage from LRSD. Next Fiscal Year l. In February, the MRC submits the next fiscal school year's budget forms to LRSD and the six original magnet schools. 2. In March, the six original magnet school budgets for the next fiscal year are due. The ADM projection for the six original magnet schools shall be that of the current fiscal year's ADM overage for the first three attendance quarters. The total magnet schools' budget shall reflect anticipated expenditures for the projected school year. Until the current fiscal year budget adjustment is calculated, the participating districts and the state will be responsible for funding on amount no less than the current year's initial expenditure level in order that timely payments may be made to the LRSD for the operation of the magnet schools. 3. In June, the MRC approves the next fiscal year's budget and submits it to the Court   This policy was adopted in February, 1997. Existing timelines were merged with additional procedures in order to ensure that no underpayment or overpayment of funds is made by any party. Approving the final adjusted current year budget after the official three-quarters' ADM average has been calculated should accomplish this goal.

I ESSA y TOPIC: One clause of the Rrst Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that the government \"shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.\" The First Amendment applies to public schools because they are government entities.

Think about why you feel the way you do. Now write an essay supporting your opinion on the benefits of the First Amendment religion clause. Give specific reasons for your opinion and support those reasons with evidence and examples. Convince your classmates that your opinion is reasonable.

The conference will focus on the environment and youth leadership development for youth ages 13 through college. The training content will provide an opportunity for youth to gain an understanding of service- learning and community service. Participants will define ways in which they can apply the information learned in school to solve existing problems within their school and greater community. This conference will recognize the state's Youth Action Council members. Work sessions will focus on developing leadership skills and finding solutions to youth problems. The conference will also provide an adult track for educators and persons wanting to know more about service-learning. School districts and students wanting to participate in the Statewide Highway Enhancement project may sign an agreement with the Arkansas Highway Department. The Highway Department will provide the needed tools and assistance to help students plant wild flowers along their community highways. Districts are encouraged to send their Youth Action Council members. Other student attendees may be ages 13 through high school. One adult chaperone for every eight youth is required (no exceptions). Chaperones will have full responsibility for their students. Cooperatives and districts may use drug education funds to cover the cost of registration. Your youth selection process should place priority on recruiting young people from a variety of socioeconomic, age, achievement, geographic, racial, and religious backgrounds within your district cooperative region.

Assistant Director, Planning \u0026amp; Curriculum: James Boardman Subject: Mathematics Instruction Algebraic Connections Regulatory Authority: None Contact Person: Dr. Charles Watson Index Code: IHAB Phone No: 682-4474 Director's Memo 94-1 (January 1994) outlined a sequence of mathematics courses that would meet graduation requirements and identified alternative courses for students not completing the College Prep/f ech Prep program of studies. Last year schools began teaching the Investigating Geometry course based on the course outline provided in May of 1994. With this memo is a course description and course outline for a new fourth-year elective course with a recommended title Algebraic Connections. Algebraic Connections combines Quantative Literacy, Discrete Mathematics and Probability and Statistics that were included as electives in that Director's Memo. Algebraic Connections blends a number of topics included in the Mathematics Framework that often are not covered in a traditional algebra/geometry sequence. This outline combines topics from probability, statistics, functions and graphs, and others that will further strengthen a student's preparation in mathematics leading to proficiency as defined in the Framework. This course is not to be taken in place of any requirement for the Challenge Scholarship or the College Prep program of studies. Classroom teachers from throughout the state worked on a team to prepare the course description that is attached. Students talcing this course should have completed Algebra I (or its equivalent) and a geometry course. However, it should also be open to students who have completed Algebra II and want another mathematics course, but choose not to continue in the traditional advanced algebra/trig/calculus sequence. The unique nature of this course makes it possible for students from various mathematical backgrounds to be successful. Manipulatives and graphing calculators are considered essential components of instruction in this course. Teachers of this course must meet secondary mathematics certification. No additional training will be required\nhowever, a summer workshop is being planned that will introduce each of the topics and model exemplary instructional strategies. Schools that decide to include this course in the curriculum are strongly encouraged to send the designated teacher to this training. Exact dates for the workshop are yet to be finalized, but will be announced by May 1. No one textbook has been identified that includes all of the proposed topics. Perhaps the best match is found in Advanced Algebra Through Data Exploration, A Graphing Calculator Approach published by Key Curriculum Press. This resource and several others are identified at the end of the attached outline. Algebraic Connections This course is designed to introduce the student to new and different components of mathematics from an algebraic point of view. It is based on students having completed a minimum of Algebra I or the Applied Mathematics sequence and one year of geometry. These topics will allow learners to solve problems based on real-world situations and provide experiences in some areas tested on the \"exit exam\" that may not have been emphasized in previous courses. The use of manipulatives and the graphing calculator are essential components of instruction. The unique nature of this elective course makes it possible for students from various mathematical backgrounds to be successful. This course is not a substitute for a requirement in the College Prep or Tech Prep program of study and in meeting requirements for the Challenge Scholarship. It can count as one mathematics unit of credit toward graduation for students not completing those requirements or as a mathematics elective. Employing a variety of instructional strategies is essential to maintain student enthusiasm and a high level of student involvement throughout the year. These should include writing opportunities, oral presentations, cooperative group activities, investigative approaches to learning, and longer term projects. The premise is that the student will accept a greater responsibility for constructing meaning from the content while the teacher must create a positive learning environment. It is recommended that each of the four topics receive approximately equal time distributed over the year. The topics suggested can span for nine weeks. Obviously, any one of these topics could be the content of a year's study\nhowever, the intent here is for students to gain experience with a broad array of topics. The outline below is not intended to be all inclusive. In particular the list of applications is intended to be only a starting point. The teacher is encouraged to collect and design additional applications that will interest and actively engage the students. Student assessment in this course should include alternative forms. Specifically, students need to experience constructed response items that will assist their preparation for the exit exam. Constructed response items are open ended and require students to arrive at a solution and justify or explain their reasoning. I. Probability A.

Hafeeza Majeed 2604 Brown Little Rock, AR 72204 Mr. Mark Cole 1306 Louisiana Little Rock, AR 72206 Dear Ms. Majeed and Mr. Cole: Thank you for your inquiry about the moratorium on new litigation regarding desegregation issues which may be brought on behalf of the class which I represent against the Little Rock School District. Your concerns are noted with deference and respect. Let me hasten to try to address your concerns in a manner which you may feel free to publicize as you see fit. In order to put the matter into perspective, a bit of background is appropriate and necessary. When the Little Rock School District Board President appointed me to the Contingency Committee to plan for a superintendent replacement recommendation, I accepted that responsibility for three reasons: a) the Board president is able, conscientious, dedicated and committed to the creation of a high quality, nondiscriminatory, equal opportunity school system for all children\nb) the other appointees are individuals whom I believe to be capable of operating in good faith on this important issue/ and 107/25/1996 08:53 FROM JOHN W.WALKER P.P. TO 3710100 P. 03 c) the district's present needs require an administrator who has experience, demonstrated success in bridging racial chasms, and unreserved commitment to the Little Rock School District and to the ideas contained in the settlement plan. I also weighed the possibility of my being in a conflict situation in the process. I resolved that concern in favor of participation because the Court is not obliged to accept our choices for school administrators\nthat clearly is a school board function. I became merely an advisor on an ad hoc basis. I now proceed to address the question of our choices and our processes. The first task of the committee was to deal with interim management between the date announced for the employment of Dr. williams by another district and the time that an interim superintendent could be employed here while the District considered its long term options. For your information, the choice of an interim management team was difficult. It is fair to say that each of us made suggestions of team members and that no one person's viewpoint dominated in the process. The team selected reflects a consensus judgment with which I am pleased. As you may suspect, I have had problems with some of the people on the management team, but by and large I believe that the team membership has competent, willing individuals who can work together. With respect to Dr. Roberts, my recollection is that Dr. Roosevelt Brown was familiar with his work and with that of Dr. 207/25/1996 08:54 FROM JOHN W.WALKER P.O, TO 3710100 P . 04 Morris Holmes of New Orleans. Dr. Roberts and Dr. Holmes were on staff in Little Rock and recently worked together in Pt. Worth as well. Dr. Holmes, a Superintendent of the New Orleans highly respected African American, is now School District, and it was felt that he would not very likely be interested in an interim position in Little Rock, charge to be one to select permanent superintendent. Moreover, we did not understand or to recommend selection of Although Dr. Brown Roberts, as did several other committee other persons were suggested as well, some of whom were white, but a our recommended Dr. members, the names of some of whom were black and our view was unanimous that Dr. Roberts well met the qualifications that the committee established for interim superintendent. After we interviewed Dr. Roberts, I came to the conclusion that he is of strong and genuine interracial goodwill\nis committed to the education of all children, especially underpriviledged children\nis committed to the actions set forth in the settlement principles and leadership potential for bringing together agreement\nand has unique divisive forces in the Little Rock School District. volunteered to cooperate with him spirit of the settlement plan and Upon arriving at that opinion, 1 he is here on an interim basis. and to work with him in the to avoid litigation as long as I indicated that I would initiate any new litigation for that period (between not one to two years ^ijiq his tenure), as long as the Board of Education supports his recommendations and emphases regarding our children. 307/25x1996 08:55 FROM JOHN W.UfiLKER P,B. TO 3710100 P . 05 The \"no litigation\" promise relates solely to Dr. Roberts and not to the school board. If the board takes any action which is contrary to the desegregation plan and to Dr. Robert's judgments, this \"moratorium\" does not apply. Moreover, the \"no litigation\" pledge is consistent with the pledge contained in the original settlement agreement and with the very way I related to Dr. Henry Williams. The difference is that this pledge was publicized. while it was not publicized for Dr. Williams. Please be reminded that I took no action regarding the stewardship of Dr. Williams for a lengthy period. The moratorixjm does not apply to the three matters which are presently pending, at my initiative, before Judge Wright, namely\na) the motion we filed to implement the desegregation plan provisions regarding the Incentive Schools and to designate someone as an overseer for those schools\nb) a motion to enforce the findings, recommendations and suggestions of the Office of Desegregation Monitoring, which have been made over a period of five years\nand c) the attorney fee motion which is scheduled to be heard on August 19, 1996. We are in the process of addressing the problem of disparate discipline and have advised the committee that this matter is not included in our promise except to the extent that before we file a motion regarding it we will afford Dr. Roberts an opportunity to address it. But the record on which we will proceed pertains to the previous administration rather than to that of Dr, 4 I I07/25/1996 08:56 FROM JOHN U.WALKER P.A. TO 3710100 P. 06 ( 1 1 Roberts. Perhaps it would be more simple to say that I do not envisage initiating new litigation against the school district for acts undertaken by Dr. Roberts or his administration for a period of at least one and up to two years while he is here. me also say Let that the settlement has other enforcement provisions and provides the opportunity for plan revision, if necessary. in I expect to agree with some of the recommendations made by the Desegregation Revision Study Committee headed by Ms. Cora McHenry and Mr. Bill Bowen, which was appointed by the Board President several months ago, and also expect to join the school board in a motion to the Court for their adoption. The new objective that I have in mind at this time is to ensure that the goals of the settlement agreement are implemented within a framework of good will and racial cooperation which will extend beyond any final court judgment in this case. It should be made clear to people in our community that if anyone feels that his/her rights have been denied by either Dr. Roberts or the Little Rock School District, they will still have at least two options, i.e., a) enforcement through the settlement decree. or b) initiating a private legal action either in state or federal court. I am stating simply that I will not resort to new litigation regarding desegregation issues until we afford Dr. Roberts and his staff, which is expected to be biracial, an opportunity to comply with the settlement agreement. I suspect that-some are cautious about my public statement because of the expressions of support from conservative and white 5 1... 0J/25/1996 08:57 FROM JOHN U,WALKER P.R.

I implore you and others in the community, therefore, to reappraise our situation, meet Dr. Roberts, listen to his ideas and then hold him to the plan and to the other promises he makes as he enters this most difficult time and district.

Fulfillment of this goal requires multiple steps. There must be among other things actions to promote and maintain desegregation and to address the achievement gap. system's desirable academic classes and programs, as well as extracurricular activities. Discipline and other harsh consequences must not be visited disproportionately on black students. African American persons must be involved in all departments in the LRSD, including in leadership positions.

Intervenors have been disappointed, as have the court and its monitoring arm, ODM, As a consequence, those representing the intervenors have been required to expend considerable time in mnoitoring compliance with the agreements and working for improved compliance. Lead counsel participated in the process which led to the selection of Dr. Don Roberts. Based upon his familiarity with Dr. Roberts, he viewed the interim superintendent as a person whose leadership, even on a temporary basis, could yield strengthened implementation of the plan, including its features addressing the achievement gap. Lead counsel, who had made a committment to reduce court activity, was, therefore, willing to listen when, he understood, Dr. Roberts sought to discuss approaches for improving attainment of the objectives of the approved agreements. -Trie-Msg,t\ning Dr. Roberts stated that the LRSD is graduating 1,500 ill- prepared students each year. He described a process utilized in the Fort Worth School District for strengthening the relevant knowledge and skills of high school graduates. It involved careful study of a wide variety of employment opportunities in the area to identify the knowledge and skills needed by employees\nstrengthening student enrollment in more rigorous areas of the curriculum, including algebra and geometry, with an1 1 / 2 2/19 9 6 12:42 FROM JOHN W.UALKER P.fl.

Dr. Rogers also identified the need for advocacy to generate a pool of funds to address facility needs, as well as strengthening access to techology. Ms. Ann Brown referred to the court's interest in modifications to the agreements. She mentioned some frustration on the part of ODM staff in finding recurring problems in the LRSD in successive monitoring cycles. Ms. Brown noted the substantive talents of her staff and their abilities to contribute to improved implementation of the agreements, or other steps, by more direct involvement. Dr. Rogers expressed receptivity to this concept, for example fay stating that ODM staff could work with LRSD staff to prepare the budget, rather than simply review LRSD's version. The possibility that ODM staff could be increased to allow completion of its monitoring responsibilities outside LRSD was viewed as conceivable. (Moreover, these intervenors have expressed the view that ODM monitoring in LRSD needs to reach down to the student level to identify the types of hostile conduct responsible for the achievement gap.) ODM The participants at the meeting discussed issues framed bv 1 T o4 Z-,____ .  submissions to the district court and the court of appeals This included the possibility of withdrawing the Joshua motion incentive schools and the ODM recommendations  LRSD s appeal of the denial of the motion for dismissal of the case, as well as the motion to terminate the court's jurisdiction. Lead counsel and LRSD representatives discussed system's paying some attorneys' fees. and the participants discussed a 6-9 month period in which Dr. Roberts and LRSD's administrators and employees under his Ife.yaa direction would get some breathing space to move forward with Dr Roberts' ideas regarding strengthened education and, implicitly.' the issues raised by lead counsel as described above It was ^BPaggPtJtoCing the meeting that Dr. Roberts sought semT^nae IP .the-SUCrent obligations for plan implementation during the 6-9 month period However. the nature of such changes was not clear tfiL..any .Joshua representative. based upon viie uxscussiun, IILJ understood the 6-9 month period to be one where a focuswould be developing plan modifications for submission to the court. Rather, we viewed the period as one in which to learn whether Roger's approach would better attain the objectives of the agreements. This \"track record\" could then provide a concrete basis for Joshua representatives to decide upon the propriety of identifying plan modifications.

TO P J15. r 1010 0 (1.) We will consider a 6-9 month period for the superintendent to focus on his educational agenda and issues identified by lead counsel, once we understand fully what LRSD proposes with regard to the existing plan obligations during this period and we have some assurance that the problems identified by lead counsel will be addressed. (2.) we will consider requesting the court to treat as inactive during any agreed upon 6-9 month period our notions regarding the incentive schools and the ODM recommendations. There should be some reciprocal action by LRSD. (3.) Lead counsel could, consistent with his schedule, participate in efforts to disseminate information about any agreements and advocate for funds for facilities and improving the use of current technologies. This and any other agreements are dependent upon progress regarding attorneys' fees, see paragraph (7.) below. I (4.) We can not agree to discontinue on site monitoring at Little Rock schools in view of our perceptions about inadequate compliance in this sphere, views buttressed by the findings of the court and ODM. Such a step given the circumstances would be inconsistent with the obligation to provide vigorous representation to the class. We can consider directing our findings and contentions based upon such monitoring to a particular person or persons other than Dr. Rogers, if we have confidence based upon the identity of the dGsignee(s) that our material will receive the attention which it is due  and the designee has the ability to accomplish something. (5.) We can not, in view of the continuing problems which we have called to LRSD's attention, agree that Ms. Springer and lead counsel will cease involvement in discipline matters below the level of expulsion  if LRSD means to suggest this. We can agree to present our contentions regarding such discipline to child advocates designated jointly by LRSD and Joshua Intervenors, if these persons have the ability to take corrective steps and the responsibility to provide the interim superintendent an overview of any problematic patterns which come to their attention. (6.) Wg will consider carefully any proposals for a new stephens School and \"a school out west.\" We note however that the court has expressed the need to consider any such proposals in the light of overall facility needs. (7.) We seriously question whether we are in a position to make any agreements without progress on the matter of attorneys' fees. Lead counsel did not receive the entirety of the earlier LRSD payment, and the proceeds which he did receive were subject to taxation. Lead counsel and his associates each function as a private attorney general. Funds received form one civil rights! 1 IS 1996 12 47 FROM JOHN U.U A L K E R P.A. TO 710100 P .

(8.) We will consider carefully specific proposals for ODM sta to be involved .-ore direotly in the operation of the ^SD.

I7h\n.l\n.:z can see much common ground, we have two primary concerns, Dr. While we The first is your focus on solving current problems within the context of the current system. Dr. Roberts wants to change the entire system and needs six to nine months to develop, with your help, a plan to do so. If you will work with us, you can be assured that the new system will solve the \"litany of problems\" about which you continue to complain. This is not to say we are going to ignore the current problems There are some issues which must addressed be immediately. However, we want to change everyone's focus from trying to make a bad system work to developing a system which will ensure a first rate desegregated education for all LRSD students. Our second concern is your suggestion that an agreement cannot be reached without \"progress\" on the issue of attorneys' fees. As   ' this will have to wait until Chris returns from out of town. We hope you will reconsider so that an agreement can be reached before the board meeting on Tuesday. a practical matter out of town.

PCSSD U.S.D.C No. LR-C-82-866 Dear Judge Wright\ni 1 1 I i I } I As counsel for the Joshua Intervenors, I am persuaded that the interim superintendent, Dr. Don Roberts, will act in good faith to achieve the objectives of the desegregation plan and to otherwise address the educational needs of our class members. I am also persuaded that he will approach the matter as originally contemplated in a spirit of cooperation and mediation rather than one of antagonistic adversariness. I have met with him by telephone and in person at least a half dozen times in the last three weeks to get some understanding of how he will try to make things better in the District. During this time, I have described to him our concerns both in writing and verbally. Several of these meetings involved Ms. Ann Brown of the Office of Desegregation Monitoring. He is aware of the conflicts which exist between us and he is aware that there are a number of people in the school district of both races who have reservations about an approach of cooperation rather than confrontation. The plan calls for cooperation, but the parties have been adversary due to different leaders and leadership styles of the District during a time which has seen the departure of every architect of the plan itself. Dr. Roberts has inherited a situation where there is literally no one on staff who was involved in a high level capacity with the creation and underlying justification of many of the plans' features and objectives. He is literally in a posture where he will have to recreate the wheel so to speak and where some degree of plan modification may well be needed if the educational needs and priorities of black school children are to be effectively addressed.12/06/1996 12:12 FROM JOHN U.WALKER P.A. TO 3710100 P . 03 k' Page Two December 6, 1996 I i I ! i The ODM staff, through its monitoring experiences, may provide the nexus between the plan formulators and the present staff capable of advising and assisting Dr. Roberts as he seeks to bring a different character to this troubled school district. I share his view that he could profit from a different kind of association from the Office of Desegregation Monitoring than that of the last two administrations, one which gives respect to the roles and duties of the court as well as the commitment of the ODM staff to the achievement of the plan objectives. Although I have reservations about requesting that the court enlarge or modify OOM'S role, I believe that there is compelling urgency to such an approach, for a short period of time, if the educational needs of black children are to be met and given the priority required by law. I, therefore, request that you allow Ms. Brown and her staff to work closely, affirmatively and on a day to day basis with Dr. Roberts on operational activities such as the development of the budget. We also expect to work closely with Dr. Roberts but with the caveat that we will continue to monitor the situation and otherwise seek to protect the rights of our class members. Dr. Roberts has made these promises: 1) He will implement the plan as approved by the Court until it is modified with Court approval\n2) He will seek to lead the Board and the community to understand the necessity for genuine interracial cooperation and involvement in every level of school operation\n3) He will promote the retention and equal treatment of minority students and he will see to it that teachers actually engage in teaching them with the same fervor and commitment that is exhibited toward children of privilege\n4) He has pledged to integrate what has become, with but one or two exceptions, an all white administrative staff and he will take sensitive action to ensure that there are no one race staffed departments in the school system\n5) He commits to staff development which promotes interracial staff associations and cooperation rather than allowing proliferation of separatist activities within schools\n6) He commits to activity involvement of all children in something through which each may feel that he/she is an integral part of the school system, 7) He commits to more meaningtul parental involvement with black parents being given equal respect of their views and needs regarding their children\n8) He commits to a reduction of disciplinary punishments for insignificant and petty offenses and the substitution of an educational program which emphasizes that children should expect the school to teach them alternative ways for conflict resolution and for understanding the way the educational system is supposed to work\n12/06/1996 12 13 FROM JOHN U.WALKER P.fl. TO 3710100 P . 04 F  Page Three December 6,1996 9) He commits to continuing the District's practices to the develop and maintain a viable pool of qualified minority staff tlirough the binder program, a uniform salary schedule and identifiable nondiscriminatory criteria for the selection, placement and promotion of staff\n10) He commits to devoting serious and prompt attention to evaluation and assessment of prosrams and activities, as well as a program development and implementation by which achievement disparities may be eliminated and/or otherwise improved. Many of these concerns and commitments may be the subject of modification of the desegregation plan with our approval. To avoid later con\u0026amp;sion, I do note that we do not envision a direct role for ODM in the development or approval of any modifications. Dr. Roberts asks for our cooperation for what is a relatively brief period of time in the history of this case a six to nine month period of time. I am willing to give it to him provided the court sees fit to approve his request. In closing, I must say that the District is in the plight that it is, in large part, due to a number of feilures for which both we and the Court must take some responsibility. I must say that the court's oversight of this case has been essential, but it is our considered view that recalcitrant district officials challenged the court to force them to act and when the Court did not act, other than to issue words of condemnation, it set a tone for further inaction and dereliction which brings us to the point where we are today. The request here will allow all of us an opportunity for much needed redemption. Thank you for your cooperation truly yours, /'.John W.

LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL Office of Desesregation MonitotuitiNTERVENORS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL -- INTERVENORS MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN DEVELOPMENT PERIOD The Little Rock School District (\"LRSD\") for its Motion states: 1. This court has repeatedly expressed the view that LRSD could benefit from modification to its desegregation plan and has provided expert testimony in order to guide LRSD in the development of plan modifications. The court has noted. however, that any proposed modifications must be developed by the parties and not the court. 2. LRSD can improve its educational program for all students and can enhance the prospects for the long term desegregation of the district if given the opportunity to devote the necessary time and resources to the task. LRSD is prepared to work cooperatively with the other parties and with the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (\"ODM'') in order to develop and present to the courtplan modifications to improve education and desegregation within the district. 3. The Knight Intervenors support the effort to develop a modified plan for education and desegregation within LRSD. They are willing to work cooperatively with the other parties to develop such a plan. 4. PCSSD and NLRSD do not intend to become directly involved in the process of developing a modified education and desegregation plan for LRSD, except to the extent that the development of such a plan might impact interdistrict desegregation issues, but they support the effort described in this Motion. 5. LRSD expects that they can work cooperatively with all parties to present to the court within the next six to nine months a plan for improving education and desegregation in LRSD. This plan will necessarily modify or replace certain components of the present LRSD Desegregation Plan. 6. LRSD and Joshua have met with the desegregation monitor to discuss ways in which LRSD, Joshua and ODM can work together toward improving education and desegregation in LRSD. ODM monitoring reports have shown the need for changes in LRSD's approach to desegregation. ODM could, with this court's approval. support LRSD's efforts by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD\nby redeploying monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as budget development. staff development, student assignment and resolution of discipline 2issues\nand by withholding any further monitoring of the current LRSD plan (other than the completion of monitoring reports presently in process) for a six to nine month period during which a modified education and desegregation plan will be developed. WHEREFORE, LRSD prays that this court authorize ODM to consult with the parties and participate in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD\nto redeploy monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as budget development, staff development, student assignment and resolution of discipline issues\nand, to withhold any further monitoring of the current LRSD plan (other than the completion of monitoring reports presently in process) for a six to nine month period during which a modified education and desegregation plan will be developed.

LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL DEC 6 1996 DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL Office Of Desesregafion Moniioring INTERVENORS MEMORANDUM BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN DEVELOP! P PERIOD lylW The Supreme Court in Rufo v. Inmates of the Suffolk County Jail, 502 U.S. 367, 116 L.Ed.2d 867 (1992), outlined the standard for modification of a consent decree: [A] party seeking modification of a consent decree bears the burden of establishing that a significant change in circumstances warrants revision of the decree. If the moving party meets this standard. the court should consider whether the proposed modification is suitably tailored to the changed circumstance. Id., at 393, 116 L.Ed.2d at 886. The Eighth Circuit applied the Rufo standard in affirming this Court's decision granting LRSD's request to close Ish incentive school and to assign the former Ish attendance zone students to the new King interdistrict school. See LRSD V. PCSSD. 56 F.3d 904, 914 (8th Cir. 1995). The Eighth Circuit stated, \"We are convinced that the closing of Ish advances [the goal of desegregation] by offering a desegregated setting for students within the Ish attendance zone alongside children from the f:\\haijc\\fcndicy\\irtd\\bri-pbiuiev1 PCSSD.\" Id. Therefore, the Eighth Circuit has approved modifications of the LRSD Desegregation Plan where the modifications further the goal of desegregation. Moreover, the LRSD Desegregation Plan was drafted with the expectation that modifications would be made as necessary to further the purposes of the plan. A six to nine month plan development period for the purpose of developing plan modifications would further the goal of desegregating LRSD. Improving education in LRSD is essential to maintaining current levels of desegregation and improving desegregation in the future. Modifications are also needed in other areas including budget development, staff development. student assignment and resolution of discipline issues. ODM could, with this court's approval, support LRSD's efforts by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD\nby redeploying monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as 'The Eighth Circuit's reasoning is consistent with the rule of equity which allows a court to modify an equitable decree to further the purpose of the decree. See, e.g., Larken Minnesota. Inc, V. Wray. 881 F.Supp. 1413, 1419 (D.Minn. 1995). It is also consistent with decisions from other jurisdictions which have identified modification. myriad of changed circumstances County School See. Board, e.g., 978 Jacksonville Branch, which justify NAACP V. Duval F.2d 1574, 1582 (11th Cir. 1992)(\"Modification [of a consent decree] may be considered when (1) a significant change in facts or law warrants change and the proposed modification is suitably tailored to the change, (2) significant time has passed and the objectives of the original agreement have not been met.

On May 17, 1996 the Little Rock School District filed a Mtion to End Federal Court Jurisdiction. The motion was denied on September 23, 1996. LRSD filed a timely motion for reconsideration on October 2, 1996. 2. On December 6, 1996, the Little Rock School District filed a Motion For Approval of Plan Development Period. In that motion, LRSD asked the court for a period of time within which to work with the parties to improve education and desegregation in LRSD and to develop necessary modif ications to the LRSD desegregation plan. That process, if successful, could result in the abandonment by LRSD of its motion for reconsideration. 3. LRSD would prefer to commit its resources to a cooperative education and desegregation reform effort than to litigate its Motion to End Federal Court Jurisdiction so long as the prospects are good for a cooperative and productive reform process. LRSD therefore asks the court for permission to withdraw its motion for reconsideration subject to refiling no later than September 30, 1997. WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, LRSD prays for an order withdrawing and removing from the docket its motion for reconsideration subject to its right to refile the motion no later than September 30, 1997.

The court grants LRSD's Motion For Approval of Plan Development Period, 2 This court has repeatedly expressed the view that LRSD could benefit from modification to its desegregation plan and has provided expert testimony in order to guide LRSD in the development of plan modifications. The court has noted, however, that any proposed modifications must be developed by the parties and not the court. 3 LRSD believes that it can improve its educational program for all students and can enhance the prospects for the long term desegregation of the district if given the opportunity to devote the necessary time and resources to the task. LRSD is prepared to work cooperatively with the other parties and with the office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM) in order to develop and present to 12'17 '96 11:47 FRIDAY LAW FIRM @003  the court a plan to improve education and desegregation within the district. 4 The Joshua intervenors believe that certain components of the present LRSD desegregation plan have proved unsuccessful and that black students and parents within LRSD can benefit from a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD. The Joshua Intervenors are prepared to work cooperatively with LRSD in order to develop such a plan. 5 The Knight intervenors support the effort to develop a modified plan for education and desegregation within LRSD. They are willing to work cooperatively with the other parties to develop such a plan. 6 PCSSD and NLRSD do not intend to become directly involved in the process of developing a new education and desegregation plan for LRSD, except to the extent that the development of such a plan might impact interdistrict desegregation issues, but they support the effort described in this stipulation. 7 The parties expect that they can work cooperatively to present to the court within the next six to nine months a plan for the improvement of education and desegregation in LRSD. This plan will necessarily modify or replace certain components of the present LRSD Desegregation plan. 8 In order to allow LRSD to commit the necessary effort to the cooperative development of an improved education and desegregation plan, LRSD and Joshua agree to withdraw all pending motions concerning compliance or lack of compliance with the 212'1'96 11:48 FRIDAY LA'V FIRM @006  present LRSD Desegregation Plan. Joshua also agrees to discontinue any on-site monitoring at LRSD schools and to refer any disciplinary issues, other than expulsion issues, to an ombudsman selected by LRSD with input from ODM and Joshua for resolution. 9 LRSD and Joshua have met with the desegregation monitor to discuss ways in which LRSD, Joshua and ODM can work together toward improving education and desegregation in LRSD. ODM monitoring reports have shown the need for changes in LRSD's approach to desegregation. ODM is willing to support the effort described in this stipulation by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD\nredeploying monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as budget development, staff development, student assignment and resolution of discipline issues, and to withhold any further monitoring of the current LRSD plan (other than the completion of monitoring reports presently in process) for the six to nine month period during which a new education and desegregation plan will be developed. 10. The parties agree to support LRSD's request for a court order approving this stipulation and to participate in a good faith effort to develop and present to the court within six to nine months an improved plan for education and desegregation in LRSD which will modify the plan under which LRSD presently operates. 11 The court understands that as a part of the process to improve desegregation and education within LRSD, LRSD will take 312 17/96 11:48 FRIDAY LA\"' FIRM @007  into account the recommendations made by Joshua and the Office of Desegregation Monitoring in their monitoring reports. 12 The court expects the parties to work together in a good faith effort to improve education and desegregation within LRSD. 13 The court understands that the LRSD superintendent will work with administrators, teachers, counselors and staff to ensure that the student discipline system within LRSD provides fair, even handed and appropriate discipline in a non-discriminatory matter. 14 The court understands that during the time for development of an improved plan for education and desegregation in LRSD that LRSD will provide an appropriate staff development program for principals, teachers and counselors.

Upon careful review of the motion, the Court finds that the motion should be granted. A. On numerous occasions, the Court has expressed the view that modifications of the LRSDs desegregation plan might be appropriate. In an attempt to assist the parties, the Court itself called experts who testified concerning potential areas for modification. However, the 290 1Court has noted that the parties themselves must develop and present any proposed modifications. By its motion, the LRSD seeks a si-\\ to nine month period during which it would concentrate its efforts on developing plan modifications to improve education and desegregation within the district. Specifically, the LRSD asks the Court to authorize the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM) to act as a consultant and a participant in the development of a modified plan. The LRSD asks that the Court redeploy monitors to provide assistance to the district in a refl s such as budget development, staff development, student assignment, and resolution of discipline issues, and to withhold any further monitoring of the current LRSD desegregation plan for a six to nine month period. The LRSD states that the Knight Intervenors support the effort to develop a modified plan for the LRSD, and that the Pulaski County Special School District and the North Little Rock School District support the effort described in the motion. While the Joshua Intervenors respond generally in a favorable manner to the new superintendent and the motion, they also express some reservations. Because the ODM operates as an arm of the Court, the Joshua Intervenors urge that the ODM not participate in negotiations between the parties, unless the ODM agrees not to report the content of such negotiations to the Court. Further, the Joshua Intervenors urge the Court to appoint additional monitors to work on matters of particular concern to them, namely alleged ill-treatment of class members. See docket entry 2885. The Court finds that the parties, particularly the LRSD, will benefit from a temporary hiatus from monitoring and from the expertise of the ODM, in order to develop proposed modifications to the LRSD desegregation plan. The ODM has assured the Court that the 2functions of monitoring and assistance can and will be kept separate during this period. The Court declines at this time to direct the ODM to employ additional monitors to handle complaints about mistreatment of class members. Should the ODM determine during the course of this plan development period that it needs additional staff, the Court will address the issue at that time. The Court will not prevent the ODM from advising the LRSD or other parties during negotiations for plan modifications. However, neither the ODM nor the Court is a party to this litigation and the ODM cannot be a negotiator for any party. The ODM may participate in negotiations as a facilitator. The Court will rule on any plan modifications on the basis of the evidence and the record in the case, including orders of the Eighth Circuit. B. Pending before the Court are the Joshua Intervenors motions for relief concerning the incentive schools, for implementation of recommendations of the ODM, and for a hearing on those motions. In light of the Courts approval of a period during which the LRSD intends to develop a modified education and desegregation plan, the Court denies without prejudice the motions filed by the Joshua Intervenors. Should the Joshua Intervenors wish to refile the motions, they must do so within thirty (30) days following the submission by the LRSD of its modified plan. C. Also before the Court is the motion of the LRSD to withdraw its motion to reconsider the Courts ruling on the LRSDs motion to end federal court jurisdiction. The motion is 3granted. The LRSD has until and including September 30, 1997, within which to refile its motion for reconsideration. D. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the LRSDs motion for a plan development period [docket entry 2878] is granted. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Joshua Intervenors motions [docket entries 2680, 2705, \u0026amp; 2812] are denied without prejudice.

RECEIVED INTERVENORS DfcC 3 0 1996 INTERVENORS SERVICEMASTER INTERVENORS SERVICES, A LIMITED PARTNEKbrtih' Office of Desegregation Monitoring Response Joshua Interv'enbfs to\" the LRSD' s plan ODM. Motion for the. of the Joshua intervenors co cue - Approval of A Plan Development Period The LRSD has filed a motion referring to a six to nine month development period. The relief sought in the motion relates to Motion, 12\\6\\96, at 3. That office would \"consult with the parties and participate\" in the development of a modified plan\nit would \"redeploy monitors\" to provide more direct forms of assistance to LRSD\nit would withhold additional monitoring of the LRSD for the six to nine month period. This memorandum sets forth Joshua Intervenors' reaction to the LRSD motion. It is appropriate to begin with some reference to the status of the case. These motions concerning intervenors filed a the incentive schools number of months ago two and ODM recommendations. These motions are grounded in the view of Joshua's representatives, and the repeated findings of the court and ODM, that LRSD officials and their agents have implemented the agreements in an inadequate 1manner. It remains the view of the Joshua intervenors that the central problem has been the unwillingness to implement the agreements, not the agreements themselves. a Nevertheless, the Joshua Intervenors are willing to respond in positive manner to the view of the interim superintendent that ways can be developed to achieve in a better manner the objectives of the agreements. As reflected by lead counsel's letter to the court of December 5, 1996, counsel views the interim superintendent as a person of ability and integrity. The Joshua Intervenors will respond in a prompt and good faith manner to proposals to modify the agreements with regard to the LRSD. These intervenors may well suggest provisions to address problems in the areas mentioned in lead counsel's letter to the court of December 5 (at 2-3). LRSD and Joshua representatives are in the process of discussing ways in which perceived problems of class members, in the area of discipline for example, can be addressed in a better fashion, but with lesser demands on the interim superintendent's time. The objective of this effort is to allow the superintendent to focus on his ideas for plan modifications and systemic efforts to address some of the problems surfaced by these intervenors. Our reactions to the specific proposals regarding ODM are as follows. First. ODM is, in substance, a part of the court's staff. It serves as the court's eyes and ears. It gathers facts and generates ideas for the court. It seems to serve as confidant for the court. This being the case, we believe that limits on ODM's participation 2in the process of developing and considering proposed plan modifications are necessary. Development by ODM of proposed modifications in areas identified by the parties should be welcomed, as well as party. However, ODM ODM reactions to proposals initiated by a should not participate in the parties* negotiations  unless it is agreed upon, unambiguously, that ODM will not report the content of negotiations to the court. The parties can present to the court any agreed upon changes in the plans, as well as periodic status reports on their progress. Second. The Joshua Intervenors are supportive of the notion of ODM staff playing different roles in the LRSD, subject to our recommendations, filed on December 13, 1996, that there be additional ODM staff to work on the matter of ill-treatment of class members. This ill-treatment prevents, in far too many cases. the achievement of the objectives of the agreements. Moreover, there are needs for monitoring in the PCSSD and the NLRSD. Third. The proposal concerning additional monitoring in the LRSD for the six to nine month period is acceptable. with the exception of the new form of monitoring, by additional staff. identified in intervenors' submission of December 13, 1996. Conclusion The Joshua Intervenors agree to the entry of an order 3consistent with the views set forth in this response. Respecfully submitted, abhn W. Walker, / 64046 Uohn V.

'  WORK ACCOMPLISHED: A core committee began the primary work by focusing on developing a process and framework for the implemenution of site-based management to allow individual schools choice in terms of best meeting the needs of their students. Research, published articles and implementation efforts in other districts were provided to the core committee. The committee began the process of reflecting on and studying the issues involved, articulating how the district currently operates and discussing how this distnet could best operate in the future. The committee functioned as a study group so that ey could begin to operate from a common knowledge base, create conditions for thinking beyond the current state of operations, dare to dream of more effective ways for the system to function, frame the thinking specifically for the LRSD, share common language, and begin to forge shared thinking on what and how site-based management can be used to assist in meeting the districts mission. The committee developed initial responses to the following questions: 1) What results are expected from implementing a site-based decision making process in the district? 2) What has to be created at the district level for site-councils to be effective at reaching the anticipated results? 3) What support will be needed and how will it be provided? 4) What actions are needed to lead this change initiative? 5) What is a timeiy/reasonable time firame for successfill and effective implementation? A draft position paper defining the critical issues and the specific actions needed from the educational system of the LRSD to prepare and implement an effective model of site-based management for the LRSD included five major areas: 1) Articulation of policy, rationale and belief^ 2) Parameters for decision making and processes for evaluating decisions, 3) Definition of a model of a Good School to serve as a standard and guidelines for assessing progress toward the standard, 4) Skills and knowledge needed and training plan (district \u0026amp; local), 5) E.\\pectations and roles of personnel and guidelines for council membership. a A district wide invitation for participation was extended to all teachers and administrators across the district. The response is reflected in the total committee listed above. This expanded committee is now assigned to one of the five major issues/action areas. A plan of how these committees will function and produce the needed products has been completed.STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY NINE: We will develop and implement plans to establish financial stability and achieve the strategic objectives of the district.

Horace, Margie, Melissa, and Skip said that no Joshua representatives were on their working teams, although Margie stated that her discipline team plans to include Joshua later. Gene was out of the office and, since he is the only associate on the incentive school team, we do not know if Joshua is represented on the incentive school working team. Redflag: If John doesnt agree with the final modifications, he might appeal on the basis that he was not involved during the development stages. Also, it seems that from some language listed below, that ODM is to advi^ and consult with him during the development period. 'i For your review, I have both attached the following documents and restated, with emphasis, the relevant statements from:  LRSDs 12-6-96 motion and brief  Joshuas response  Courts 12-27-96 order  Courts 4-29-97 order In the 12-6-96 motion, LRSD stated: LRSD is prepared to work cooperatively with the other parties and with the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODM) in order to develop and present to the court plan modifications to improve education and desegregation within the district. LRSD expects that they can work cooperatively with all parties to present to the court within the next six to nine months a plan for improving education and desegregation in LRSD. This plan will necessarily modify or replace certain components of the present LRSD Desegregation Plan. ...in which LRSD, Joshua and ODM can work together toward improving education and desegregation in LRSD ODM could...support LRSDs efforts by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD... ...prays that this court authorize ODM to consult with the parties and participate in the development of a modified plan...In the brief that supports the 12-6-96 motion, LRSD restates: ODM could...support LRSDs efforts by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plan... In Joshuas response to the 12-6-96 motion, Joshua states: That office [0DM1 would consult with the parties and participate in the development of a modified plan. The Joshua Intervenors will respond in a prompt and good faith manner to proposals to modify the agreements with regard to the LRSD. These intervenors may well suggest provisions to address problems in the areas mentioned in lead counsels letter to the court of December 5 (at 2-3). LRSD and Joshua representatives are in the process of discussing ways in which perceived problems of class members, in the area of discipline for example, can be address in a better fashion, but with lesser demand on the interim superintendents time. The objective of this effort is to allow the superintendent to focus on his ideas for plan modifications and systemic efforts to address some of the problems surfaced by these intervenors. The parties can present to the court any agreed upon changes in the plans, as well as periodic status reports on their progress. In Judge Wrights 12-27-96 order, she states: . ..the Court finds that the motion should be granted. By its motion, the LRSD seeks a six to nine month period during which it would concentrate its efforts on developing plan modifications to improve education and desegregation within the district. ...the LRSD asks the Court to authorize the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (ODMT to act as a consultant and a participant in the development of a modified plan. ...the parties...will benefit from...the expertise of ODM, in order to develop proposed modifications to the LRSD desegregation plan. The Court will not prevent the ODM from advising the LRSD or other parties during negotiations for plan modifications. . . The ODM may participate in negotiations as a facilitator. In the order fded 4-29-97, the court states: [T]he LRSD filed a motion on December 6, 1996, asking the Court to approve a plan development period, during which time the Joshua Intervenors and the LRSD could work together in preparing proposed plan modifications. The Court is mindful that the parties are engaged in a period of discussion regarding proposed modifications to the settlement plans...i I 4 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT, Plaintiff, vs. PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 1, ET AL., Defendant.

McCormack, clerk \u0026lt; cumt ORDER Before the Court is a motion filed by the Joshua Intervenors on September 27, 1996, requesting attorneys fees for the work of their counsel in successfully opposing the motion of the Little Rock School District (LRSD) to end federal court jurisdiction regarding the LRSD. In that motion filed on May 17, 1996, the LRSD argued that it had agreed to an implementation period of six years, that the six-year period had expired, and that it was in substantial compliance with the settlement plans. On September 23, 1996, the Court denied the LRSDs motion. The ' Joshua Intervenors then filed their motion for attorneys fees. The LRSD moved for reconsideration of the Courts September 23, 1996 Order denying its motion and also moved for an extension of time to respond to the Joshua Intervenors motion for attorneys fees. The LRSD asked that it not be required to respond to the motion for attorneys fees until after the Court ruled on its motion for reconsideration. The LRSD additionally stated that it should it not receive relief from this Court on its motion for reconsideration, it intended to appeal to the Eighth Circuit and requested that any response to the Joshua Intervenors motion for fees be delayed until the issue was resolved, if necessary, by the appeals court. The Joshua Intervenors responded in opposition, arguing that the LRSDs requested extension was too long and that the LRSD should not be allowed to wait until after a ruling by the Eighth Circuit before responding to the attorneys fee motion. Subsequently, the LRSD filed a motion on December 6, 1996, asking the Court to approve a plan development period, during which time the Joshua Intervenors and the LRSD could work together in preparing proposed plan modifications. The LRSD also filed a motion to . .J -----  withdraw its motion for reconsideration ofthe Courts Order regarding federal court jurisdiction. On December 27, 1996, the Court granted the motion for a plan development period and also granted the LRSDs motion to withdraw. The Court has determined that in the interest of judicial efficiency and fairness the Joshua Intervenors motion for attorneys fees should be resolved. The Court is mindful that the parties are engaged in a period of discussion regarding proposed modification^ the settlement plans and the Court does not wish to place the parites in an adversarial position. However, the Court 2finds that it is in the interest of justice to address the motion for attorneys fees. Therefore, the Court denies the motion for extension of time (doc. 2837) and directs the LRSD to respond to the motion for attorneys fees within ten days from the date of entry of this Order.  SO ORDERED this day of April 1997. JNIIED STATES DISTRICT jfiDGE UNITED GE ON IN 'The resolution of the issue of attorneys fees will not defeat the LRSDs right to refile its\" motion for reconsideration as set forth in the Courts Order of December 27, 1996. 3IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF V.

LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL Ofiics of DeseSfSgsSon ^'oniisfint^NTERVEuoRS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL  INTERVENORS MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN DEVELOPMENT PERIOD The Little Rock School District (\"LRSD\") for its Motion states: 1. This court has repeatedly expressed the view that LRSD could benefit from modification to its desegregation plan and has provided expeirt testimony in order to guide LRSD in the development of plan modifications. The court has noted, however, that any proposed modifications must be developed by the parties and not the court. 2. LRSD can improve its educational progreim for all students and can enhance the prospects for the long term desegregation of the district if given the opportunity to devote the necessary time and resources to the task. LRSD is prepared to work cooperatively with the other parties and with the Office of Desegregation Monitoring (\"ODM\") in order to develop and present to the courtplan modifications to improve education and desegregation within the district. 3. The Knight Intervenors support the effort to develop a modified plan for education and desegregation within LRSD. They are willing to work cooperatively with the other parties to develop such a plan. 4. PCSSD and NLRSD do not intend to become directly involved in the process of developing a modified education and desegregation plan for LRSD, except to the extent that the development of such a plan might impact interdistrict desegregation issues, but they support the effort described in this Motion. 5. LRSD expects that they can work cooperatively^ with all parties to present to the court within the next six to nine months a plan for improving education and desegregation in LRSD. This plan will necessarily modify or replace certain components of the present LRSD Desegregation Plan. 6. LRSD eind Joshua have met with the desegregation monitor to discuss ways in which LRSD, Joshua and ODM can work together toward improving education and desegregation in LRSD. ODM monitoring reports have shown the need for changes in LRSD's approach to desegregation. ODM could, with this court's approval. support LRSD's efforts by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plaui for education and desegregation in LRSD\nby redeploying monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as budget development, staff development. student assignment and resolution of discipline 2issues\nand by withholding any further monitoring of the current LRSD plan (other than the completion of monitoring reports presently in process) for a six to nine month period during which a modified education and desegregation plan will be developed. WHEREFORE, LRSD prays that this court authorize ODM to consult with the parties and participate in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD\nto redeploy monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as budget development. staff development, student assignment and resolution of discipline issues\nand, to withhold any further monitoring of the current LRSD plan (other than the completion of monitoring reports presently in process) for a six to nine month period during which a modified education and desegregation plan will be developed.

LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL J996 INTERVENORS KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL Ofrice of Dese^rocsiicn Woni'Cfirxj INTERVENORS MEMORANDUM BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN D' LOPMENT PERIOD The Supreme Court in Rufo v. Inmates of the Suffolk County Jaril, 502 U.S. 367, 116 L.Ed.2d 867 (1992), outlined the standard for modification of a consent decree: [A] party seeking modification of a consent decree bears the burden of establishing that a significant change in circumstances warrants revision of the decree. moving party meets this standard. If the the court should consider whether the proposed modification is suitably tailored to the changed circumstance. Id., at 393, 116 L.Ed.2d at 886. The Eighth Circuit applied the Rufo standard in affirming this Court's decision granting LRSD's request to close Ish incentive school and to assign the former Ish attendance zone students to the new King interdistrict school. See LRSD V. PCSSD. 56 F.3d 904, 914 (8th Cir. 1995). The Eighth Circuit stated, \"We are convinced that the closing of Ish advances [the goal of desegregation] by offering a desegregated setting for students within the Ish attendance zone alongside children from thePCSSD.\" Id? Therefore, the Eighth Circuit has approved modifications of the LRSD Desegregation Plan where the modifications further the goal of desegregation. Moreover, the LRSD Desegregation Plan was drafted with the expectation that modifications would be made as necessary to further the purposes of the plan. A six to nine month pleui development period for the purpose of developing plan modifications would further the goal of desegregating LRSD. Improving education in LRSD is essential to maintaining current levels of desegregation and improving desegregation in the future. Modifications are also needed in other areas including budget development. staff development. student assignment and resolution of discipline issues. ODM could, with this court's approval, support LRSD's efforts by consulting with the parties and participating in the development of a modified plan for education and desegregation in LRSD\nby redeploying monitors to provide assistance to LRSD in areas such as The Eighth Circuit's reasoning is consistent with the rule of equity which allows a court to modify an equitable decree to further the purpose of the decree. See, e.g., Larken Minnesota, Inc. V. Wray. 881 F.Supp. 1413, 1419 (D.Minn. 1995). It is also consistent with decisions from other jurisdictions which have identified modification. myriad of changed circumstances which justify County School See. Board. e.g., 978 Jacksonville Branch, F.2d 1574, 1582 NAACP V. Duval (11th Cir. 1992) (\"Modification [of a consent decree] may be considered when (1) a significant change in facts or law warrants change and the proposed modification is suitadaly tailored to the change, (2) significant time has passed and the objectives of the original agreement have not been met.

He was also a Rhodes Scholar, and obtained a master of law degree from Oxford University in 1954, as well as being a member of the United States Air Force from 1955 to 1958. Levitas served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1964, and was also elected that year to represent DeKalb County in the Georgia House of Representatives, where he served for a decade. In 1974 he was elected as a U.S. Congressman from the 4th District and was re-elected to four subsequent terms, until being defeated by Pat Swindall in 1984. Levitas returned to private practice in Atlanta, where he resides today.; Interviewed by Mel Steely and Ted Fitz-Simons in 1996.; The interview is spread out over four different days in the fall of 1996: August 12, September 10, September 24, and October 7. Levitas begins by discussing his family and background during the Great Depression and into his education. He answers questions about what his life was like during the Great Depression as well as World War II, saying that his family was middle class \"in the almost Norman Rockwellian sense.\" He describes his time in college and law school, juggling marriage and a burgeoning career in law, and the decision to join the Air Force. By the time the conversation shift to politics, Levitas reveals that he and his politically-active friends flipped a coin to see who could run against James Davis in Congress, and Weltner won the toss (and eventually won the election). Levitas got out of the Air Force and became more active in the DeKalb community, and he was elected to the Georgia legislature in 1965. The interview discusses large issues, including integration, anti-Semitism, and reapportionments. Levitas discusses his relations with several other Georgia politicians, stating that when it comes down to it, all politicians try to work together to better the state.; In the interview on September 24th, Levitas begins with a discussion on the differences between the US House and the Georgia House. They discuss election tactics, free press, and former candidates and presidents. The interview covers party politics, campaigns, and Levitas' opinions on Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter. The last portion, from October 7th, begins with Steely asking Levitas who his most memorable Democratic colleagues were in the Congress, as well as Republicans. He compares Newt Gingrich and Tip O'Neill, and then talks about national security and the nuclear era during Carter's and Reagan's administrations."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":["Carrollton, Ga. : University of West Georgia Special Collections in association with the Digital Library of Georgia"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Georgia Political Papers and Oral History Program oral history interviews.
