PURPOSE OF SPECIAL MEETING: The chair announced that the special meeting was called to hear from individuals who have petitioned the Board to discuss Little Rock Central High School. The president explained to the audience that the speakers must refrain from speaking to the Board about Mr. John Hickman, suspended principal at Central High. INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS: Mrs. Hafeeza Majeed led in a silent prayer. She read a letter from Willie Lynch, a slave owner, which was written in 1712 about how to control slaves. She told the Board that our children are being neglected because a superintendent has been brought here to do a job. She compared the Little Rock School District as the plantation and the group, Fifty for the Future, as the overseer. She said the District is making sure that black children don't learn and are pitting black women against black men. She complained about Mrs. Bernard's investigating tactics with students. She asked that an impartial panel be appointed and asked that Mr. Moore resign as president and that Mr. Jackson resign as vice-president because they are insensitive to black children. A member of the audience accused Dr. Bernd of cracking sexual jokes when he spoke to teachers at a pre-school meeting last fall. Ms. Sheila Parker told the Board that the students should be first and called for Dr. Bernd's resignation. Mr. Byron Jenkins told the Board that by taking Mr. Hickman out of the school the students, mostly seniors, have really been hurt.

The Board recessed at 5:39 p.m. Upon reconvening, Mr. Moore again asked that the speakers keep their remarks about Central High in general and not about Mr. Hickman. Mr. Say McIntosh told the Board that in 1992 the city had 52 black youngsters killed, and he had not seen the people as mad about these young people being killed as they are over the suspension of Mr. Hickman. He called on black people to stop killing each other. Ms. Bahiyyah Ward told the Board that she is a senior at Central High and that this is the worst year of her life. She said the situation at Central has destroyed the senior class. She told the Board that it underestimates the students and parents of Central are going to bring the truth to the public. Ms. Cory Smith told the Board that the school is just not the same. People are smoking and shooting dice on campus. He said there is no evidence to support what has happened. Ms. Lois Brown said her daughter goes to Central and she does not appreciate Mrs. Bernard asking her questions about her relationship with Mr. Hickman. She said the questioning has caused friction between her and her husband. Rochelle Wells, a sophomore at Central High, said Mr. Hickman treats everyone with respect. She asked the Board why it did not - ask the students what they think. Ms. Susie May, a teacher at Central, expressed concern about some of the comments. She told the Board that morale at Central is high, that the atmosphere is quiet and calm. She said they are no longer interrupted by assemblies and announcements. Ms. Nancy Wilson, an art teacher at Central, said she grew up in Detroit. She assured the Board that Central High is not out of control. She said she had noticed that the number of students in the halls have been reduced as are other incidents. She said teachers feel supported and that morale has improved. Mr. Bill Hamilton joined the meeting at 6:05 p.m. Mr. C. E. McAdoo, pastor of Wesley United Methodist Church, said he was representing the Christian Ministerial Alliance. He said the wind has moved a reed and they will keep hitting the anvil. In allegorical language, Rev. McAdoo expressed that there is a great deal of support in the community for Mr. Hickman. Miss Bahiyyah Ward told the Board that if Mr. Hickman is not returned to Central the (the students) will tear the school apart brick by brick. Mr. Charles Davis told the Board that it had taken away a role model and said they were put on this Board for a reason. He told the Board that the kids in the school are most important. Rev. J. E. Booker, Pastor of Saint Peter's Rock Baptist Church, told the Board that they have created a powder keg and not to call on the black pastors for help. Lawrence Allen, Sr. said one of the ladies caught up in the rumors at Central is his daughter. He said he talked to Mrs. Bernard and tried to stop the allegation. He now knows they are false but a man has been destroyed\nhe has been destroyed\nand he is mad as hell. ADJOURNMENT: Mr. Dorsey Jackson moved to adjourn.

Fletcher Foti was on the winning team and will represent our District in competition in Washington, D.C. She reported that Dunbar was second overall and that Mann was third. She also commended Michael Carroll and Kimberly Yeargin, who have been selected as National Merit Finalists. Mr. Dorsey Jackson congratulated the basketball teams at Parkview, McClellan, and Fair, for ending the season at number 1, 2, and 5 in the State, respectively. D. Partnerships Dr. Bernd introduced two new partnerships: Back Yard Burgers and Rockefeller Incentive Schools\nand UALR's \"Partners in the Arts\" program and LRSD elementary schools (to be determined). He recommended approval of the partnerships. Ms. Gee moved the recommendation. Mr. Hamilton seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. Certificates were presented to each partner commemorating the new partnerships. IV. REMARKS FROM CITIZENS Ms. Sheila Parker told the Board that what is going on now in the District is serious\nthat when the head does not function properly, the system will not work. She urged the Board to consider her letter that she wrote last month. Mr. Marcus Eubanks, representing students from Central High School, asked the Board when they were going to meet with the students. Mr. Jackson responded that we are trying to schedule a time when the Board can get a quorum. Mr. Byron Jenkins, reiterated the students' request for a meeting with the Board members. He told the Board that Mr. Freeland had no reason to call Mr. Hickman a thief. Mr. John Walker told the Board that all the parties are tired of conflict and thought we would be able to put conflict behind us when we signed the settlement agreement -- that all parties were victorious. Further, he stated that since the Board has taken the position that the plan should be changed, then there is only one force, Judge Wright, who represents the force of the A Board of Directors W Regular Meeting March 25, 1993 4 Constitution of the United States. He further stated that this litigation is about the Constitutional rights of black children. He explained that he could not allow the Board to chastise him because he would not be equal to them. He said that Judge Wright has found this District to be out of compliance and that public opposition cannot sway decisions on desegregation. He alleged that the administration has spent more time creating conflict than trying to resolve it and unless and until we try to get back on track, it will be that way. He asked Mr. Jackson to re-evaluate his position and accept the notion that the least child in the District is entitled to the same quality of education from a teacher who has only privileged in her classroom. V. ACTION ITEMS A. Hippy-JTPA Proposal Dr. Bernd recommended that the Board approve the request to submit the JTPA-HIPPY Proposal to the City of Little Rock as reflected in the slip-sheeted (corrected) version.

JTPA Summer Learning Proposal Dr. Bernd directed the Board's attention to the JTPA Summer Learning Program application to the City of Little Rock to provide training for students during the summer of 1993. Mr. Sam Stueart answered questions from Board members and discussion ensued concerning the tracking system which has been included in this year's program as an evaluative tool. Further discussion centered around the advisability of using GPA as an indicator of success. Dr. Mitchell advocated using diagnostic tests to determine what skills the students are lacking. Following discussion, Dr. Bernd recommended that the Board adopt the proposal with the proviso that the administration will explore the possibility of using an instrument more closely aligned with our curriculum.

Stephens Interdistrict School Site Selection Board of Directors Regular Meeting March 25, 1993 5 Dr. Bernd told the Board that the Committee had broad representation and has given long and careful consideration to the site for the new Stephens Interdistrict School. He commended the commitment of the neighborhood around the current Stephens School. He recommended that the Board approve for submission to the Court the site of the present Stephens School for the construction of the new Stephens Interdistrict School. Mr. Bill Hamilton moved the Superintendent's recommendation. Dr. Mitchell seconded the motion. Discussion ensued. Mr. Sammie Mills spoke in favor of the school being constructed at the present Stephens School site. Mr. Riggs suggested that the District erect a plaque or statue that relates the history of the Stephens School and the significance of that site. Mr. Jackson reminded the Board that we must aggressively recruit students to the interdistrict school and asked that the Board see a specific recruiting plan before this is submitted to the Court. Dr. Bernd assured Mr. Jackson that a recruiting strategy is being developed with the assistance of the Pulaski County Special School District. Ms. Marie Parker told the Board that a recruiting strategy is being planned that addresses the issues of theme and safety. Mr. Jackson further suggested that we target employees at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the Veterans Hospital. Mr. Riggs encouraged the administration to look at some of the other successful schools such as Rockefeller for indicators of what parents want for their children. Ms. Gee commended the Committee for its comprehensive study. Following discussion, the motion carried unanimously. E.

Dr. Katherine Mitchell seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. There being no further business to come before the regular meeting of the Board of Directors, the meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m. Jo Katherine Mitchell, Secretary I \"'I ' (:- \"\n] APPROVED: l{,  2 :.\n_ ' ~ Board Comments by Dorsey Jackson March 25, 1993 Just a few days more than eighteen months ago, I was elected to be the representative of Zone 3 on the Little Rock School Board. I am still moved by the honor and trust bestowed upon me by the YQtm in that Zone. I chose to run for this position because of my strong conviction that a viable public school system is critical to the economic growth of our community. When a person runs for an elected office, they are immediately labeled a \"politician.\" If nothing else, has been accomplished during the last eighteen months, I have, at least, cast doubt on the propriety of that labeling. To perhaps further prove that I am not a typical politician, recent events have caused me to look back at my campaign platform to determine whether I have been performing in the manner in which I indicated I would. Unfortunately, and regrettably, I find tliat my track record is not that outstanding. Accomplishments in two of five objectives particularly give me concern: 1. Ensuring that the District operates in a financially responsible manner through effective management of its limited resources\nand 2. Working with the administration and the Board to see that court-ordered policies are properly and fairly implemented so that the District can get out of the Courtroom. In analyzing my failures in these two areas, I have arrived at a very troubling unfortunate conclusion. The first objective is rendered extremely difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish because of the requirements necessitated by the second objective. My only qualifications for this position, in reality, were a fairly decent financial background and a little bit of common sense. These two qualifications inspire me to try to modify the District's desegregation plan to one that is affordable. Unfortunately, common sense apparently has no place in managing the financial affairs or any other affairs of this district While I will readily admit that the settlement plan and the desegregation plan are the plans of this district, I would like to point out one simple fact that some may be overlooking. I was not on this Board when these plans were approved and originally committed to. I have merely inherited them. Although I am normally proud of my heritage, this bequest is not particularly the best thing that ever happened to me. I am firmly convinced the Desegregation Plan needs to be changed and changed quickly. A reality of our democracy is that we are able to change. Our president recently was elected on a theme of change. The Arkansas Legislature has probably introduced four to five thousand bills during this legislative session. Why? In large part, I am sure, because the individual legislators feel a need to change. Much of the media's attention this past weekend has been devoted to the pending change in the make-up of the U.S. Supreme Court, partially how it will impact previous court decisions on such matters as Roe vs. Wade. Why all the attention, if not for the possibility of change. Earlier this week, the Arkansas House voted to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot dealing with term limitations. This is an attempt to change something just overwhelmingly approved by the voters last November, less than five months ago. - As I mentioned earlier, one of my few qualifications for this job was a little bit of common sense. Realizing that it is stupid to go to a gunfight with only a knife, common sense tells me that I must seek another solution. If by my words and actions I have offended the Court, I apologize. I realize my behavior in the courtroom this past Friday was not exemplary. Just as we expect our teachers and principals to be role models, at all times, for our students, we should expect no less of ourselves. In spite of my philosophical differences with this plan, I intend to use my influence as a Board Member to see that it is implemented. Since so much money and talent is currently being wasted in the courtroom regarding our Plan, I think it is vital that we do all that is humanly possible to expedite the compliance with all aspects of both the Plan and the monumental information requests by Parties to the plan. Implementation and compliance should be our number one objective. This is where I will be focusing my attention. I hope the remainder of the Board will as well. While this will be my focus, I will also be encouraging dialogue between all parties to try to modify the plan. I trust those in higher levels of authority will not try to suppress my rights as a board member to speak out and effect change by placing undue burdens on me or other members of the Board. Finally, I must speak to the African American community. As I mentioned at the beginning of my remarks, a viable school system is critical to economic growth in our community. It is critical not only in attracting businesses, and accordingly jobs, but also in adequately preparing our young people for those jobs. The demands being placed on this administration by the Joshua intervenors are unreasonable. If you truly are interested in a system that educates all children and a system that remains viable, you must insist that your intervenor restrain himself and his personal hostilities. These tactics, and these demands being placed on the administration, while not stealing in the pure legal definition, are nevertheless robbing this district of precious time, time we cannot afford to waste if we are to adequately prepare the children of this district. If your objective is to have total control of this district, as some would suspect, then the district is destined for failure as is the viability of the community. I have previously admitted publicly that one word to sum me up is \"stubborn\". If anyone thinks that making my life less than pleasant through constant subpoenas, forced attendance at court hearings, or other yet to be devised techniques, is going to cause me to resign from this board, you are wrong. Dead wrong. I was elected by the citizens of Zone 3 and I intend to continue to serve them. If they are unhappy, I trust they will let me know soon. Truthfully, I would rather be crappie fishing. I ask that these remarks be made a part of the minutes of this meeting, so that should someone desire to enter them into the Court record, valuable time will not be wasted watching a video. s1TEMENT OF JOHN RIGGS. IV TO THE LITTLE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT COURT AT THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL BOARD MEETING --3/25/93 Last Friday, March 19th, was my first visit to a federal court. I have a few observations on that first visit that I would like to share with our board our administration, and our students and patrons. First, for the mo~ part, people involved in the federal court system are nice folks. Although at times some folks do get a tab over emotional, on the whole I was very well treated. The court folks were kind enough to reserve a nice big chair especially for me that was in front so that I could see the action up close and personal--if the proceedings had been a Razorback basketball game we would have had the equivalent of court side seats. Being fairly naive about courts and lawyers in general, I found the day to be a very interesting civics lesson, much like the civics lesson Dr. Bernd referred to when discussing some of our Central students and our hearing for Mr. Hickman. I would say on the whole, I enjoyed most of the day and look forward to my next indoctrination into how our court system works. I just wish you lawyers would stop suing me for trying to do the best I can in this job. I do feel I did pick the best profession for me by becoming a simple tractor salesman rather than a lawyer or judge While we were in court, the judge was nice enough to give us a report on our conduct and what she expects ofus as the ultimate leaders of the LRSD. Some patrons and citizens I have talked with since Friday think the Judge was way out of line with this document--! do not. Frequently, as a manager, I give folks who work with and for me oral and written evaluations so that they can become better at their jobs by working on weaknesses and emphasizing strengths. Any good manager ( and surly our federal judge would want to be construed as a good manager) does this--so I do not think her actions were out of line.  I concur with Judge Wright that we have a legal if not moral obligation to do everything under our power t sure that the LRSD is pursuing a course of quality desegregated education. I also happen to believe that we should do what ever it takes to comply with Judge Wright's orders--after all, she is a federal judge, makes a hell of a lot more money than we do, and can not be fired or beat in an election. But besides those reasons, I believe we should do what we can to carry out this plan because the Little Rock School District Board of Directors voted to implement it to the best of the school district's ability, and I believe there are parts of it that are effective in achieving the goal of a quality, desegregated educational experience for our students though I again agree with the judge that there are parts of the plan that are expensive and may not be the most economical or effective means to achieve our goals. I do take offense to some of the statements made by Judge Wright in her report to us. First of all, I am not a whiner or a complainer. It offends me that the Judge feels the need to stereotype me for comments that were not made by me nor that reflect the official and stated policy of the LRSD. I would remind the Judge of her own words from the hearing last week \"impressions are important\". I believe that we should not allow ourselves to be involved in name call--it will serve no useful purpose. Again, though I find other areas of agreement with Judge Wright. Her statement that the LRSD acts as if it lost its court case is a dead solid perfect description of how many of the patrons and even this board feels about our current situation. And understandably so, for any time that people lose the right to direct their lives and institutions, then those people have LOST. And in a real sense, the citizens of LR have lost most of the ability to direct the most important institution in our fair city--our schools. The vital, important lesson here is this: do the moral and right thing the first time and hold people accountable so that you do not put yourself in the position where you have to seek help from the federal court system. I also am very concerned about the judge's statements seemingly discouraging discussion by duly elected  lie officials at an official public meeting. Discussion and debate are key elements in a true democracy. ainly public debate over the direction of our most important political entity, our schools, should be enAraged. Again, I am not suggesting in an way that we disregard the federal authorities in this case--we should m!l'every reasonable effort to carry out our desegregation plan and Judge Wright' orders with all deliberate speed. I also have some concerns over Judge Wright's orders in regards to our attendance at court hearings. I chose to believe that Judge Wright is being truthful in her document when she requested our attendance at this particular hearing because she feared we do not understand our obligations or her orders--others in the community believe Judge Wright's actions to be purely punitive and vindictive. I chose to reject this argument. I truly believe the judge is concerned about our understanding of some of the issues and her orders in this case. I would ask, though, that the judge give some considerations to the nature of this board when she requires our attendance at more hearings. The LRSD board is composed of non-paid volunteers who are elected by the ta,\"(payers of the school district. Each of us have a job we are employed at in order that we can pay the rent, cloth and feed our family, and pay our taxes. We serve because we are committed to public service and to quality public education. The court must be mindful of the already countless hours of time that we take away from our jobs to serve our patrons. I believe the judge runs a very real risk of implying that only the independently wealthy who do not have to work can serve on this or any other public board--this is a dangerous and wrong signal to send to our community, and again I will remind the Judge that in her own words that \"impressions are important\". I would contend that if the judge is truthful in her belief that we do not understand her orders ( and again I believe that she is) then I would say that if this board does not understand what Judge Wright expects after Friday's hearing then there is absolutely no hope for us and Judge Wright should go ahead and hold us in contempt and take over complete control of the school district. I believe that this board certainly got the message and that there is no need to continue to require us to attend hearings for the expressed reason of understanding her orders. The judge also expressed concern that our council and superintendent were not relaying to the board the full concern o court. I would suggest that as a compromise, if the judge will cancel her order to require us to attend ha gs, I will agree to attend all hearings in the next year and give a personal report back to the board on just exactly what the court expects. Although I am like the rest of the board with a job outside of my school board activities, I am very fortunate to work for an employer who will allow me to make this time commitment to the court and fortunate to work with very competent and thoughtful co-workers who will take up the slack in my absence. So I believe the judge has accomplished her goal of getting our attention and I will be willing to attend further hearings to ensure the board keeps the message, although I am sure other board members will want from time to time to attend hearings as they can and as they have done in the past. I would like to explain to the judge and our patrons also why sometimes members of this board seemed confused ( as I am most of the time) about our desegregation plan. Partly, and especially as it relates to our budget, we get mixed signals from the court. Ont the one hand the judge and Mr. Morgan at the ODM(and certainly me and rm sure other board members) are insisting that we spend the proceeds of our desegregation settlement wisely and where it will do the most good. Yet, the judge also directs us to fund programs that the school district, this board, perhaps the Joshua Intervenors, and the judge herself feel are ineffective and a waste of money. So here is the great dilemma: we get accused of not spending money wisely by the court and then we are told by the court to spend money on programs that the court feels are wasteful and will not further us on our road to achieve unitary status by having excellent desegregated education in Little Rock. It is no wonder that my wife thinks rm turning into a schizoid. I talked at the February board meeting about how my company produces a marketing document first and then puts the dollars to it, not vice-versa. This statement was made in the context of agreeing with the court for the need to hire someone to assist us with developing a budgeting process along those lines. I would also remind the court that one of the values of a marketing document is that it is flexible and can be changed as market  itions change. An inflexible document or plan is the surest way I know of to send a company or a school ct into bankruptcy. Judge Wright stated in court Friday that we have some latitude to modify this plan. Ta are only a very few provisions of the plan that are sacred according to the 8th Circuit court of appeals. I h9those items and will pass them out to our board in case some of us have forgotten what they were. Anything else is fair game as long as the parties in the case agree that the plan needs to be changed and the changes are not facially unconstitutional. ,\\nd finally, since I have taken up too much time already, let me address some thoughts to the Joshua intervenors. the LRSD administration, this board , the Office of Desegregation Monitoring, the court and most importantly, our patrons. I find it very disheartening that this board and district seem to always find themselves in some sort of battle on a continuing basis. What particularly bothers me is that most times those that we fight have the exact same goals as we do!! And that goal is this: that Little Rock should have the finest desegregated school system that we can afford where fairness and equity are found as the rule and where our patrons and students feel that they are getting the best education possible in our town. As I was leaving the hearing Friday, Iv1r. John Walker was holding the elevator door for me and said, \"come on Ivir. Riggs, as long as you don't mind riding with the enemy.\" Now I know Ivir. Walker said this in jest because he knows that I consider him a friend and have great respect for him, but it is this misconception that since we sometimes do not agree on strategies that we must be enemies that holds this district and even this city back from greatness. We are not the enemy of the Joshua Intervenors\nwe are not the enemy of the Office of Desegregation Monitoring\nwe are not the enemy of Judge Wright and the eighth circuit court\nwe are not the enemy of the patrons of our gifted and talent programs\nwe are not the enemy of the students and parents from Central High\nwe are not the enemy of the Aero Space Education Center advocates. We are the enemy of ignorance\nwe are the enemy of prejudice\nwe are the enemy of inequity in education. I believe all these other groups believe ignorance, prejudice and inequity to be their enemy also. And so instead of enemies, we are allies in this school district's attempt to be an example of excellent desegregated education. It is ~ aradigm that we must go forward with from this day on. This paradigm must have at its core inclusiveness\n- aradigm must go along the lines of this: that to accomplish our ambitious and noble dream YOU AND I , not you OR I, but you AND I must work together, hand in hand to make our dream reality. LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 Board of Directors Special Meeting April 1, 1993 The Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District conducted a special meeting at 11:09 a.m. on April 1, 1993, in the employee lounge of the Administration Building, 810 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas. The meeting was hastily called as a result of a group of Central High School students and parents who presented themselves at the AdJninistration Building requesting a meeting. The vice-president, Mr. Dorsey Jackson, presided. MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Dorsey Jackson Mr. Willie D. (Bill) Hamilton Ms. Pat Gee Mr. John Riggs - MEMBERS ABSENT: Mr. John Moore Dr. Katherine Mitchell Mrs. o. G. Jacovelli OTHERS PRESENT: Dr. Mac Bernd, Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Pat Kumpuris, Recorder of the Minutes CALL TO ORDER: ROLL CALL: The vice-president called the meeting to order at 11:09 a.m. The roll call revealed the presence of four ( 4) Board members, which constituted a quorum. PURPOSE OF SPECIAL MEETING: The vice-president announced that the special meeting was called for the purpose of responding to a petition of citizens which was submitted on March 17, 1993. Extensive discussion ensued regarding whether or not this special meeting is the special meeting asked for in the petition. It was finally decided that the Board would conduct another meeting when all Board members could be present. The students were particularly interested in Mr. John - Moore being present at the next meeting. Board members explained their time constraints and it was decided that the students would share some of their concerns in this meeting but with the understanding that another meeting would be held in response to the petition. The students did not identify themselves, but they shared the following concerns: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. That they were not getting a good education. That teachers are not following the curriculum. There are too many kids outside the building at Central. There is no leadership at the school. Some teachers curse in the classroom. Students who demonstrated are being harassed. People spray MACE in the bathrooms\ntherefore, they can't go to the bathroom. People smoke marijuana in the bathrooms. Teachers do not dress professionally\nthey wear very short skirts or warm-ups. Teachers say things like \"sit your ass down.\" At lunch all white students are in the front and all black students are in back. Black or African history. is not taught and that one month of black history emphasis is insulting, artificial and divisive. There are very few library books on African-Americans. They think that the exclusion of black people is deliberate. Textbooks ignore African-Americans. Teachers wait until you leave their room before writing students up and then the student has D-Hall but doesn't know anything about it. Extensive discussion ensued concerning the students' complaints about the lack of African and African-American history. The students asked that an elective course in African studies be offered and that the curriculum be truly multi-cultural. Mr. Bill Hamilton had to leave the meeting at 11:58 a.m. to attend another meeting. Mrs. Hafeeza Majeed complained that she did not get a reply to her letter which contained the petition asking for a special meeting and that she was directed to go through the chain of command when she complained of the harassment of students. The students pointed out that a great deal of attention is given to the 6 million Jews that were killed by Nazi's in Germany but very little is said about the 100 million African-American slaves that have been killed in the United States. Mrs. Frazier, a parent, complained that there is a complete disregard and respect for citizens as people who can go to Central - and voice their opinions. Mr. Dorsey Jackson left the meeting at 12:50 p.m. because of a prior commitment. After discussion was completed, the special meeting adjourned at 1:02 p.m. John~:esident ,~A,..Jdhll@ Katherine Mitchell, Secretary ( ~- , ,  -, APPROVED: __- '-~----_\n'~- ~- --_\"-~_) _____ LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201 Board of Directors Regular Meeting April 22, 1993 The Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District met in its regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 6:04 p.m. on April 22, 1993, in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 810 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas.

The groundwork for the development of this statement was achieved by conducting student surveys at LRCH, copies of which are attached . This statement addresses our concerns and resolutions for the current \"crisis\" at our school and the resulting racial polarization of our city and state. This \"crisis\" is the result of the suspension of our principal, Mr. John L. Hickman, Jr., an African American male who, single-handedly, restored a safe educational and social environment to the school. Furthermore, the educational goals and aspirations of many students presently enrolled at Little Rock Central, have been greatly impacted by the sudden loss of this \"Mr. Joe Clark\" personality, because, in the words of many parents and students, \"Mr. Hickman is the only reason that I am attending Little Rock Central High today.\" e we, therefore, submit our names as representation that we believe the time has come for the students of this great and historical institution to begin writing the history of the \"second\" crisis at Little Rock Central High, the \"1993 Crisis of Little Rock Central High.\" STATEMENT During the crisis at Little Rock Central High School in 1957, nine African American students were denied the right to a \"quality\" integrated education . In 1993, we believe that the \"crisis\" at Little Rock Central High still remains the same, because the right to a \"quality\" integrated education for all children continues to be attacked. The education that we seek and the lessons that we are currently learning can no longer be contained within the four walls of the physical building. For many of us, \"learning\" has advanced from the \"pages\" of our textbooks and has spilled over into our city's streets, neighborhoods and communities. Clearly, for many of us, \"education\" has become a lesson about racism, which is alive and well at Little Rock Central High, and throughout our city and state. - The \"one--of-a-kind\" educational environment that Mr. John L. Hickman, Jr. created in our school has been attacked and destroyed by the racist attitudes of the \"leaders\" of our school district. The dominoe effect of this racism is evidenced by the racial polarization that is plagueing our school and our city. LRCH PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT Page 2 As children, we learn from the examples of our parents and other adults. Thus, we have witnessed African American students actively supporting the \"cause'', and Anglo-Saxon students have been absent in expressing support for the safe educational and social environment that was present under the administration of Mr. Hickman. The racial polarization is further evidenced by a majority Caucasian Board of Directors who continue to make decisions based on \"color\" instead of \"content.\" Furthermore, the present \"crisis\" has resulted in a placed on the local media, preventing them from entering to report peaceful assemblies by students who have express themselves through demoristrations. ban being the campus chosen to Inevitably, many students at Little Rock Central High have experienced strained relationships among students, teachers, and other administrative staff. Some students, along with parents, have been arrested, handcuffed and jailed as a result of a March 31 demonstration (\"sit-in\") in the school's cafeteria. The demonstration, ironically, was in protest of the refusal by the Little Rock School District Board of Directors to honor Ark. State - La\\-:, AR Code Annotated 6-13-619, which states that \"School Boards are required to meet with citizens to address the issues of concern to those citizens when the petition is signed by fifty (50) or more registered voters of the school district.\" Thus, the students of Little Rock Central High who, hereby, agree with this philosophy statement, do offer the following resolutions for a peaceful end to the \"1993 Crisis at Little Rock Central High School, Little Rock, AR: 1. We believe that it is fair and rational for the Little Rock School District Board of Directors to immediately reinstate Mr. John L. Hickman, Jr., as the Principal of Little Rock Central High School. 2. In the absence of \"fair and impartial\" conduct by the Little Rock School District Board of Directors, we believe that a thorough investigation must be conducted that will ultimately result in the termination of the contract of Dr. Cloyde \"Mac\" Bernd as Superintendent of the Little Rock Public Schools. 3. We believe that the presence of Associate Superintendent, Ms. Janet Bernard, in our District, has greatly hampered and ultimately destroyed the safe educational and social environment at Little Rock Central High. We further believe that the degrading actions of Ms. Bernard has negatively impacted the lives of many students and parents in our city. We, therefore, appeal to Little Rock residents, and the parents and students of Little Rock Central High to join us in seeking to have the contract of Mrs. Bernard terminated. LRCH PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT Page 3 4. The Ad Hoc Committee for Fairness and Equity in Little Rock Public Schools believe that the members of the Board of Directors should be representative of the majority population of African American students in our District. We, therefore, have agreed to actively participate in seating at least four African American Board members. We, the student representatives of the Ad Hoc Committee For Fairness and Equity in Little Rock Public Schools, and all other students whose names appear below, do invite all members of the community and media representatives to a \"send-off\" ceremony, on Tuesday, May 4, 2:00 p.m., at 1723 S. Broadway, Little Rock, AR. This ceremony will be held to send our Philosophy Statement and the attached signatures, via facsimile and Federal Express, to the following individuals: 1.

ACTION: Final regulations. SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the regulations governing the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP). These amendments are needed to improve administration of the program and to enable the Secretary to select applications for funding .that best demonstrate promise of achieving the purposes of the program. EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations take effect either 45 days after publication in the Federal Register or later if the Congress takes certain adjournments. If you want to know the effective date of these regulations, call or write the Department of Education contact person. A document announcing the effective date will be published in the Federal Register. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sylvia Wright, Chief, Magnet Schools and Desegregation Branch, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., room 2059, Washington, DC 20202--6246. Deaf and hearing impaired individuals may call the Federal Dual Party Relay Service at 1- 800-877-8339 (in the Washington, DC 202 area code, telephone 708-9300) between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m., Eastern time. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These amendments are based on the Department's experience in implementing the program over several years. These final regulations also complement the President's AMERICA 2000 strategy by requiring that, in order to receive MSAP assistance, local educational agencies (LEAs) demonstrate how well their proposed magnet schools will provide highquality educational programs in desegregated learning environments that are designed to improve significantly the academic and vocational skills of America's students. On August 12, 1992, the Secretary published a notice of proposed rulemalcing (NPRM) for this program in the Federal Register (57 FR 36324). As a result of public comments since publication of the NPRM, the Secretary has made the following revisions:  Section 280.20 has been revised to clarify that, in determining the eligibility of an applicant's voluntary desegregation plan, an LEA will be asked to submit ad,iitional information only after the Secretary has reviewed the enrollment data and other materials the LEA has submitted with its application and determined that additional information is necessary to assist the Secretary in determining the eligibility of the LEA's plan.  Section 280.32(d} has been revised to explain further the factors used to evaluate an applicant's need for assistance. Note: These final regulations do not solicit applications. A notice inviting applications under this competition is published in a separate notice in this issue of the Federal Register.  Analysis of Commenlll and Changes regulations in this document do not require transmission of information that is being gathered by or is available from any other agency or authority of the United States. List of Subjects in 34 CFR Part 280 Civil rights, Desegregation, Education. Elementary and secondary education, Grant programs-education, Magnet schools, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number 84.165A Magnet Schools Assistance Program) Dated: December 18, 1992. Lunar Alexander, Secretary of Education. The Secretary amends part 280 of title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations as In response to the Secretary's invitation in the NPRM, six parties submitted comments on the proposed regulations. An analysis of the comments and of the changes in the regulations since publication of the NPRM is published as an appendix to these final regulations. - follows: Substantive issues are discussed under the section of the regulations to which they pertain. Technical and other minor changes-and suggested changes to sections of the regulations that were not discussed in the NPRM-are not addressed.  Executive Order 12291 These regulations have been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 12291. They are not classified as major because they do not meet the criteria for major regulations established in the order.  Intergovernmental Review This program is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. The objective of the Executive Order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism by relying on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. In accordance with the order, this document is intended to provide early notification of the Department's specific plans and actions for this program. Assessment of Educational Impact In the NPRM the Secretary requested comments on whether the proposed regulations would require transmission of information that is being gathered by or is available from any other agency or authority of the United States. Based on the response to the proposed rules and on its own review, the Department has determined that the PART 280-MAGNET SCHOOLS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 1. The authority citation for Part 280 continues to read as follows: Authority: 20 U.S.C. 3021-3032, unless otherwise noted. 2. Section 280.2 is amended by redesignating the undesignated introductory text as paragraph (a), redesignating paragraphs (a) and (b) as paragraphs (1) and (2), respectively, and adding a. new paragraph (b) to read as follows:  280.2 Who la ellglble to apply for  grant? (b) The Secretary approves a voluntary plan under paragraph (a)(2) of this section only ifhe determines that for each magnet school for which funding is sought- (1) The magnet school will reduce, eliminate, or prevent minority group isolation within the period of the grant award, either in the magnet school or in a feeder school, as appropriate\nand (2) The establishment of the magnet school will not result in an increase of minority enrollment, at the magnet school or at any feeder school, above the districtwide percentage of minority group students in the LEA's schools at the grade levels served by that magnet school. (Authority: 20 U.S.C. 3022) 3. Section 280.4 is amended by _. designating \"Minority group isolation\" in paragraph (b) as a separate definition by italicizing the words \"Minority group isolation\" and adding a definition for \"Feeder school\" in alphabetical order to read as follows:   F:\" ont DUAL!

Federal R.egister / Vol. 57, No. 248 / Thursday, December 24, 1992 / Rules and Regulations 61511 districts face in implementing voluntary desegregation plans and, accordingly, has not established numerical benchmarks to measure how well an LEA has performed under a MSAP grant. However, the Secretary seeks to award MSAP grants to those LEAs that best demonstrate promise of achieving the purposes of this program. Changes: None. Comment: One commenter suggested that the Secretary introduce some flexibility into the requirement that magnet schools not result in increases in minority enrollments in the magnet or feeder schools above the relevant districtwide average. The commenter suggested that a margin of five percent be permitted, because in many urban school districts the non-minority enrollment is very small and therefore districts struggle to enroll and maintain \u0026amp; critical mass of non-minority students in their schools. Thus, the movement of a single non-minority student may have a significant impact on the percentage of minority group students in a particular school. Discussion: Use ofan LEA's districtwide average as the standard for evaluating the effect of a magnet school on other schools in an LEA provides a school district with sufficient flexibility to tailor a desegregation plan to its needs so that the district can maximize its opportunities to promote desegregation. It also provides the Secretary with a standard that can be applied uniformly to all school districts when determining the eligibility of their voluntary desegregation plans, and that can be used as a reasonable gauge to measure if an applicant Is attempting to reduce, eliminate, or prevent minority group Isolation. Clianges: None. t 280.20 How does one apply for a grant? Comment: One commenter explained that neither the old regulations nor these revised regulations address the difficulty that districts with open enrollment plans bave, when see.king approval of a voluntary desegregation plan, in demonstrating the effect of the magnet school on surrounding schools, because the traditional concept of a \"magnet feeder school\" does not apply to these districts. The commenter suggested that districts with open enrollment plans be permitted to demonstrate the effectiveness of a magnet school by providing data on student assignment patterns for neighboring schools, that would have been applicable had the districts not had open emollment. Discussion: The Secretary believes that the regulations address this concern. Under, 280.20(g) of the regulations, an LEA that demonstrates that it cannot provide reliable data on magnet feeder schools may provide other information to the Secretary in support of its desegregation plan. This section provides an applicant flexibility in demonstrating the potential effectiveness of its magnet school if, because of the design of its desegregation plan, an applicant does not have data on feeder schools as required under  280.20(0. Therefore, districts with open enrollment plans may provide other information to demonstrate that creation or operation of their magnet schools complies with the eligibility requirements of this program. Changes: None. . Comment: One commenter suggested that  280.20(0(4)(iii) be clarified to indicate-(1) when the applicant would be required to submit \"other information that the Secretary determines is necessary\n\" (2) whether the information would be required of all or only some applicants\nand (3) whether the example provided is used for illustrative purposes only. If additional information will be required of all applicants, the commenter suggested that the regulations Indicate how applicants will be notified of the additional requirements. Discussion: The Secretary recognizes that there may be limited circumstances when an LEA may not be able to provide the information requested under 280.20(0(4) or (5) in the manner required by the regulations, or may not provide enough Information ~th its application to allow the Secretary to fairly evaluate its desegregation plan. The Secretary does not expect that every applicant will be asked to provide additional information In support of its desegregation plan. However, the Secretary wants to ensure that each applicant is given a full and fair opportunity to demonstrate its eligibility for this program. Therefore, if, after review of enrollment data provided with an application, or other information provided by an LEA to demonstrate its eligibility, the Secretary does not have sufficient information to approve a desegregation plan, the Secretary will request that an LEA provide additional information. Reference to providing the Secretary with demographic data to support a desegregation plan is included in this discussion for illustrative purposes only. Changes: The Secretary has deleted  280.20(0(4)(iii) and (S)(iii) and added a new section (h) to explain that, after reviewing the enrollment information provided with an LEA's application, or other information provided by the LEA under paragraph (g), the Secretary may request additional information necessary to evaluate the LEA's desegregation plan. Comment: One commenter suggested that the regulations indicate where in the application the applicant should provide desegregation plan data (e.g., enrollment numbers and percentages). Discussion: Instructions for submitting enrollment numbers and percentages, and any other information to support an application, will be provided in the application package. Changes: None. Comment: One commenter recommended that the regulations require applicants to submit in their application the data needed to ascertain their compliance with civil rights laws. The commenter expressed concern that some districts seeking MSAP funds maintain racially identifiable classes as a result of ability grouping and assign faculty and staff in a manner to identify ii$ schools for a particular race of students. Discussion: Under  280.20, an LEA must provide assurances of its compliance with civil rights laws in its application and upon request, must provide the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights with any information the Assistant Secretary finds is necessary to determine whether the assurances will be met. This provision of the regulations was not changed by the NPRM. Changes: None. 280.31 What Mlection criteria does the Secretary UN? Comment: One commenter objected to the proposed reduction of points for the quality of project personnel under  280.31(b), because it believes the success of each project depends on experienced key personnel who are knowledgeable about desegregation and magnet schools. Discussion: The Secretary agrees that a project must have qualified staff if it is to be successful and therefore has assigned significant points for this criterion. However, the Secretary has found that almost all applicants propose to use personnel who are qualified to conduct the project activities. In assigning the relative weights for the selection criteria, the Secretary determined that the criteria for project design and implementation, i.e., \"quality of project design\" and \"plan of operation,\" provide a more meaningful indication of the likelihood of an applicant's success In meeting the purposes of the MSAP. Changes: None. 61512 Fe4eral ltegi,ter / Vol. 51, No. Z48 I n.msd2y, December %4, 1992 / Rules and ReBulations Comment: One commenter feh that the regulations soould address perceived deficienciea in !h progmm. Specifically, the commenter recommended that the regulations be amended to limit funding to only magnet schools that serv\u0026amp; the school's entire student population and that operat\u0026amp; throughout the regular school day, to allow expendituJeS oo}y for the operation of the magnet school, and to disallow expenditures for a yeM of planning. DiSC11ssion:Th.MSAA de6nesa magnet school as \"a school or educational center that offen a special curriculum capable of attracting students of different racial backgrounds.\" The MSM does oot limit eligibility for MSAP funding to a magJ1et school that only involves an entin, student population and that onty opentes throughoot the.regular school day. However, under 280.ll[c), the Secretary evaluates how well an LEA's magnet school will assist an LEA to desegNgat\u0026amp; its schools. In this way, the Secn,taJ')' selects for awards tJiose applicants that best demonstrate promise of echieving the purpos\u0026amp; of the program. In addition, although the  MSAA permits funds to be used for planning and promotional activities, planning activities 819 limited to no more thaR 10 pen:ent of a grant award in any given year. Changes\nNODB. Comment: One com,-111..- felt that assigning paints Wider 280.31(c)(2)(iiil for a project's confonnanoa,with the President's AMERI~ 2000 strategy goes beyond the purpose of the law and therefore the existing regulations should not be changed. .DfSCTJsmm: Poin1t are- not assigned for a project's conformance with the President's AMERICA:2000 strategy. The selection factor evaluating thtt typ\u0026amp; of educational pn,gram that an LEA wm prrmde is based on the requirement in the MSAA that the magnet school pn:mde courses of instmcti{)n ro substmrtnrfty strengthen a student's knowfedge of academic subjects and marlcetabJe vocational sJciHs. The subjects that are identffi\u0026amp;d under-this factor a,e specifically induded in thi, MS.AA In desail\u0026gt;ing fh1I \"Uses of funds.\" Chtmges. None.

The commenter notad that u11der the current point assignment, programs are sometimes decnasecl or eliminated after the Federal funding ends. Discuss:ioA: n. 5ecretary believes that the criterion \"Commitment and capacity\" has t-n assigned significant points relative to the other selection factors, to ensure that applicants Jor, MSAP funds will continutt magnet schools programs. Data from previoosly funded magnet IICOO\u0026lt;\u0026gt;Js granu confinn that mast MSAJ\u0026gt;.funded programs are continued after Fedellll funding ends. In addition, an applicant must demonstrate under other selection fitdors, e.g., \"Collabonitive efforts,\" that U has sought other resources through which funds needed to contintte a project could be acquired. . . Changes: None. 280.32 Howlupacr.t can  llferMlon given to appicanla? Comment:Two cmmmm1ers fall the 10 points awuded for ''-recmtness, of implementation of ~roYed desegregation phm\" be retained. One comme11ts explained that reducing the points for this factor reduces th. advantage b newly desegregating districts that attempt to wiu puhlic acceptaoca of plans throogh th. use of new magnet schools. Another commenter- tel1 that districts that amtimraily revise desegn,geUon plans to adapt to changing cin:umstances and student needs shouM be rewanled. IAscussion:Tbe regulations contlmie to proYide am advantap to school districts that are implementing new or recently nmsed plans, bm reduce the relative Mrigbt of this special considenition factor. The Secrete?)' hM found that this criterion hH not resulted in 1t meeningft!l distinction among applicants since most 1tppliamts have received maximum points for it. For example, in the fiscal yeer 1991 g?Mlt competition, 85 percent of the appJicants received the maximum score-. Thi, alStricf's '1iesire to meet theeducational needs of its student's amf its desire to retain the support ofthecommmrlty mould bit sufficient incentmt fur implementing new plans or for ~ existing pfitM.

Discr,SS(Jll: Tha pmnls for th1t proportion of minority group children involved in the applicant's desegregation plan was 111duced because most applicants }lava received the maximum points fm this criterioo and therefore it has not helped to detannine the Nllative lll8rit or applications. Also, the Secretary found that appli.ca:nts who had made progress in desegregating some schoola in their districts wore being penalized for their success. Tb. reduction in poirits for this criteri-On is intended to ensme that the weight given is rea90nably consistent with its value in determining the Ukely ~ of the applicant' plan to achieV\u0026amp; the pUJl)Ose oftheMSAP. Changes: None. Comment: One commenter stau,d that the lanS(U8ge oitae regulations under \"need for uai:stance\" is inmiequate to pnm!Dt wealthy diatricts from reaming ftm.ds while poor dismcts are left uniunded. Another mmmenwsoggest. ed that. the factors used to enluata an applicant's need for 8S$ist11Da be eoq,end\u0026amp;d to g,ive applicants further gaidance on what information should be provided to address this criterion fe.g~ how will the Secretary asseS\u0026amp; m applicant's ability to finance the pmjecl). The commenter also noted that dus aiterion now refers ollly to the difficulty of carrying out the project for which assistance is s\u0026gt;ught and not the diffic:ulty of carrying out the applicant's desegn,ptiilln plan and the project for which ~nee is~ Discu.ssion:\"Need for assisuDC\u0026amp;  i.s an iJRportaDl aitarion for fwiding under the MSAP md, ac.coniingly, is a rewitively heavily weighted factor. Th\u0026amp; Secretary agrees laat additional guidance ou the flCUl3 that the Secretary will consider in evaluating this criterion will assist BA app\u0026amp;am in demonstrating its need for MSistaRE:e and will provide the Secretary with information to bettM distinguish lffllong applicants seeking funding.

The Secretary will also consider how the design of the project impacts on the applicant's ability to successfully implement the desegregation plan as proposed. Commffit: One commenter suggestac1 that if the Secretary wants to reduce the collective weight of the special consideration facton, the points assigned to \"collaborative efforts\" could be reduced because the commenter felt that this factor does not de11Brve equal weight with \"quality of personnel\" and \"commitment and capacity,\" and does not merit more weight than \"budget and resources.\" Discussion: The NPRM did not propose a change in the points uaigned for this criterion. Currently, five points are awarded under S 280.32(f) fur this criterion. Changes: None.

How to use this guide In the alphabetical index on page 76 programs are listed by both popular name and by descriptive words. The number after each index entry is the number that appears before each program title, not the page number. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (0MB) assigns most funded programs a number, shown in parentheses after each program title. The 0MB nwnbers are keyed to a more detailed description of each program in 0MB  s current Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (see glossary). The numbers in parentheses following each program narrative description refer to the National Education Goals addressed by the program. The six National Education Goals are listed on page iii. Block grants The Augustus F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendents of 1988 reauthorized and amended a number of elementary and secondary education programs, among them Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. Chapter 1 gives states and local education agencies primary responsibility for conducting the largest federal program in suppon of education for the disadvantaged. Chapter 1 targets almost $5 billion to meet the special needs of disadvantaged children. Chapter 2 of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended, is designed to fund promising educational programs that state and local sources can suppon after their effectiveness is demonstrated\nto provide fllllds to purchase library and instructional materials\nto meet the special educational n~ of at-risk and high cost students\nto initiate and expand effective school programs\nand to allow state education agencies and local education agencies to meet their educational needs and priorities for targeted assistance. State education agencies are responsible for administering Chapter 2, while local education agencies design and implement Chapter 1 programs. How to apply for funding . While the federal government administers and distributes most fllllds allocated by Congress, some programs call for both state and federal administration. Under several programs, states administer federal grants under federal guidelines. In these state grant programs, individuals and organizations must apply directly to state agencies, as indicated in the column beaded \"Who May Apply.\" Under other programs, federal funds are distributed through grants or contracts directly to individuals, schools and school districts, libraries, museums, and organizations. Annollllcements of all competitions for federal grants are published in the Federal Register, and requests for proposals (RFPs) for all contract~ appear in the Commerce Business Daily (see glossary). Application information for federal grants or contracts can be obtained by contacting the administering office listed under the cohnnn beaded \"Contact.\" Written inquiries should be addressed to (name of administering office), U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202, unless another address is given. Telephone numbers of all contact offices are in area code 202 llllless otherwise indicated. Participation of private school students Programs that require that eligible private elementary and secondary school students and teachers be provided with services comparable to those afforded public schools have an asterisk () before the program description. Under these programs, the public agency generally is required to consult with appropriate representatives of private schools. The precise requirements for serving these students are contained in the panicular program regulations. In certain cases, further reference to the Department of Education General Administrative Regulations may be necessary. Some programs also authorize the implementation of a bypass (see glossary) to provide services dir~tly to eligible private school students and teachers when a public agency has failed to do so. These programs are indicated by a dagger (t ) before the program description. For more information on the opportunities available for private school students, contact the Office of Private Education (202) 401-1365. --Compiled by Alyce Jackson Office of Public Affairs GLOSSARY Bypass: When a public education agency fails to provide services authorized by federal law, the Secretary of Education may withhold fimds from that agency and may contract with a third pany to provide such scivices directly. This procedure is referred to as \"bypassing\" the public education agency.
