The new elementary library program has been implemented in all District elementary schools. The basic program is working well while program extensions and maintenance activities are constantly being addressed. 2. with reference to the goal of \"providing equity of access * across the District to minimum essential (core) library related resources to support varied learning styles, following activities have been implemented... 11 the I a) b) c) d) Library staff have been hired so as to provide each elementary school with a full-time clerk and librarian. Elementary schools with extremely large student populations have been assigned additional library staff in order that the new program can be equitably implemented at all sites. The concept of a minimum core collection common to all District elementary libraries has been implemented along with a plan to assure the preseirvation of this goal through annual core purchases. A committee of librarians working this semester has established a prioritized list of core materials to be added to all District elementary libraries this year. Annual program preservation funding has been achieved without increased funding through a reorganization of both regular district funds and applicable Chapter 2 funds. w X a H w H H w Bl The restoration and expansion of access levels to audiovisual instructional aids such as 16mm films and video tapes to help accommodate the varied learning styles of students continues to be the only library related component spanning all elementary and secondary grades, fall. New audiovisual equipment has been added this An updated audiovisual catalog is currently rH til H 4 being printed. A curriculum mapping project to at least coordinate A-V resources to the Arkansas List of Minimum Skills is scheduled for the spring semester in order to help teachers more easily find and incorporate instructional aids to accommodate a variety of learning styles. In addition, replies to a Request for Proposals (RFP) which deals with an expansion in the District's traditional A-V holdings as well as innovative extensions of audiovisual resources are currently begin evaluated. Included among the proposals are take home options involving instructional videos, cable channel utilization for delivery of instructional productions during both the school day 075 il i I e) H f) El 3 . El 4 . 0  and evenings, and the potential to provide every teacher in the District with a particular title at the appropriate time in their curriculum sequence even if they all needed it the same week. The District's Desegregation Plan required the District to extend the concept of a common minimum core of library resources at all sites to audiovisual equipment. Furthermore, the District is responsible for assuring continued equity in the future. Consequently, the 7-10 year audiovisual purchase plan listed in the Desegregation Timeline will be developed during the spring semester of the 1989-90 school year. This plan will make recommendations for a systematic, cyclic procurement on a scheduled timeline. It will assure that the essential A-V equipment necessary to support a multi-faceted approach to instruction continue to be available in the future and that the necessary expenditures become an annual line-item in the budget instead of a huge budget request every 7  8 years which is unlikely to be manageable. The District's Desegregation Plan also called for maintenance proposal to assure that the District'i ) or a s new A-V equipment is kept operational and its old equipment is first returned to and then maintained in an operational status. To this end, Mr. Daniel Washington has been assigned to temporarily work on the backlog of A-V repairs in the District while the new A-V equipment purchased is still under warranty. At the end of the second semester this year, a review of his accomplishments in reducing the backlog will be conducted. Based on that review, a more comprehensive plan of action to provide a long-term solution to the problem of A-V repairs\\maintenance will be developed in accordance with the Desegregation Plan. On October 17, 1989, and January 3, 1990, library representatives of the NLR, PCSSD, and LRSD discussed cooperative efforts to be pursued. This fall the District purchased and installed approximately 1000 computers in a major upgrade of K-12 instructional opportunities and especially the PAL program. Work continues to satisfactorily extend the expansion to the small number of units which have yet to become fully operational. Inservice sessions hampered by the late approval of the program will continue throughout the year. At the elementary level, all District students now have the opportunity to attend two computer sessions a week, while II at risk\" students receive additional computer opportunities. Both the elementary expansion of the PAL lab 07B w X a H a H LO 5 a H a H Bl and the program guidelines are based on local and national observations of criteria which have contributed to the greatest achievement gains in \"at risk\" youth, sutjh as ti extraordinary growth by \"at risk\" students reported when classroom teachers become intimately involved in each such as the computer session. Bl Similarly, extra computer access allows students who learn or work at a slower rate to keep pace with their classmates in the computer curriculum, specialists are generally scheduled into the lab when these PAL w students receive their extra computer instruction. This assures that there are no discipline problems, provides additional encouragement and motivation to the students from other adults, and allows the PAL instructors the opportunity to monitor the progress of their students while providing them the same opportunity and advantages in individualizing their instruction. In this role the PAL specialist also shares a common instructional component with the classroom teacher and becomes an indispensable advocate for their kids with that classroom teacher. Although the full class labs promote additional progress by \"at risk\" students, it obviously has a very positive side-effect in that all provides it students get the opportunity to benefit from challenging, individualized lessons which allow them to work at their own rate and to work ahead as far as their intellect will allow. At the secondary level, the new computer program is being incorporated into the PAL Program for \"at risk\" students one step at a time as inseirvice opportunities aid/permit -tiliz-ti,... It is unique in that it is adding formal writing unit to the PAL curriculum. additional utilization. a q W X EC H H GJ 8 a H to H i 077 br Ut UNE SPAY, JANUARY 1/. iggQ.

The desegregation transfer period will be from May 7-May 18,1990. Students may transfer to another school as long as the reassignment allows bolhlhesending and the receiving schools to comply with desegregation requirements and as long as a scat is available. Students may take two desegregation transfers at each organizational level (elementary, junior, senior high school). The purpose of (he second desegregation transfer is to allow students to return to their previous school assignment. Qcmentary students may transfer to an incentive school only if su^ a transfer enhances dese^egation both at the sending and the receiving schools. Desegregation transfers will also apply to Bale, Franklin, Wilson and Woodruff. The Little Rock School District will provide transportation for desegregation transfer students where it is cost-effective to do so. In the interest of reducing transportation costs, the District cannot commit to providing transportation (o isolated areas or io cases that would cause buses to be under capacity. Early Childhood Educatioo/^our-Year Old Programs Early childhood education pro^ams are an important part of successful desegregation. Beginning the education of children in their early years can help prevent or ^eatly minimize achievement disparities between races. Programs designed to meet the needs of young children will be available in selected schools in the LRSD. School-based, tuition-free 4-year-oldprogramswilibe offered at Franklin, Washington, Isb, Rockefeller, Stephens and Garland. Applications for students who will be four-years-old, on or before Ota. 1,1990, wilt be accepted in the Student Assignment Office from May 1-May 18. Selection will be by lottery whenever the number of applicants exceeds the seals available, with preference to students who live within each school's attendance zones. These classes will reflect a SO/SO racial balance. Students selected will be notified by lune 1. Other early childhood educational opportunities that arc available include HIPPY (Home Instructional Program for lYeschool Youngsters) which recognizes the importance of working with parent and child and the Rockefeller Cooperative Early Childhood Education Ma^et School. (See Magnet Schools, Page 4) Majority-to-Minority Transfers (M-to-M) In Pulaski County, students whose race is in the majority in their home districts may transfer toadisirict where their race is in theminority. Currently, black students can transfer to the North Little Rock or Pulaski County Special School Districts from LRSD and white students may transfer into Uttle Rock schools, Parents interested in an M-to-M Transfer should contact the Student Assignment Office and complete an application. The ACT 609 transfer program also allows certain students who live outside Pulaski County to transfer to LRSD.

The District completed its revised desegregation plan on December 1,1989. After consultation whh parent advisory committees, Metropolitan Supervisor Eugene Reville presented the final plans for court approval January 2,1990. Students will be required to remain where they are now enrolled until (bey graduate from their present level. New students will be assigned to area schools based on attendance zones. The plan relics on voluntary transfers of students to achieve the desired desegregation of the Little Rock School District and provides a variety of options including Incentive Schools, Inter-districl Magnet Schools and Majority-to-Minority transfers. Little Rock School Board President James L. Skip Rutherford says The plan offers stability and predictability, two important concerns of parents in our community. Incoming 1990-91 kindergartners and students new to tbe LRSD will be assigned to an area school based on their home addresses. All students will have an oppor- (unity to complete an Optional Enrollment Request Form indicating their desires for assignment other than to the area school. Other hi^iligbts of ihcTri-District Desegregation Plan include a feeder pattern which mil tdlow parents to know in advance which schools their children will be attending and a return to a two-run bus system which will eliminate the late opening hours for junior highschools. New magnets opening in the fall of 1990 include Washington Basic Stalls/ Math and Science Magnet, Dunbar International Studies/ Gifted and Talented Magnet, Rockefeller Cooperative Early Childhood Education Demonstration Ma^et and Central High International Studies Magnet. Several other new magnet programs are proposed over the next five years, including a University Lab magnet at Bale Elementary and Southwest Junior High, an enrironmental sciencc/zoo magnet, an aerospace/technology junior high, a busincss/communications high school, a Montessori program at Garland and an aerospace specialty pro^am at Badgett Elementary.

The District completed its revised desegregation plan on December 1,1989. After consultatkn with parent advisory committees, Metropolitan Supervisor Eugene Reville presented the final plans for court approval January 2,1990.

There is a world rich in diversity and options to satisfy every individual and educational need. You won't find cookie cutter, \"one size fits all programs in this district. Instead, there is a full menu of program options waiting to be matched with the dreams of every student and parent who enter our doors. 8 1 agj And new opporunities for more options are on the way. We want to help you make good consumer decisions about our schools. Don't let the diverse mix of options overwhelm or confuse you. Sift through the materials presented here. Then just remember, we're waiting for your call to offer individual service. In the LRSD, it's a partnership from the beginning. As a first step in your selection process, why not ask yourself these questions or consider these suggestions:  Does my child have any special interests? Is there a school available to match my child's learning style?  Ask questions about the programs behind the labels, wade through the education jargon until you're satisfied that what your child needs is what that program covers.  Attend the open houses planned in the next couple of weeks at the schools.  Look at all the programs before you make a decision.  Try to get in a visit at the school during class hours so you can see kids in their classrooms. Pay attention to what kind of work the teacher has You won't find I cookie cutter, \"one size fits all programs in w/ tfiis district. them doing. Do you see evi- [ dence of children learning how to learn as well as what to learn? (Note: give the principal's office k a call in advance. That way, ' you can match schedules and get the most out of the time you spend there.)  Consider any special talents your child has developed. What stimulates his or her interests. Is a quiet atmosphere or group setting preferred?  Talk to other parents. Learn what ISee Match, page 2) Diverse Choices Put You In Command Your key to success in the Little Rock School District is options. Here is a summary of the options awaiting you in the Little Rock School District. Look them over in detail elsewhere in this newsletter and then follow the step-by-step registration guide on page 4. If you have any questions along the way, contact the Student Assignment Office, 324-2272.  Area schools: This is square one for you in the options offered your child in our District. Each student in the LRSD is assigned to an area school based on his or her address. The elementary school zones are paired through a \"feeder\" pattern so you will know where your child will attend school at the upper organizational levels- junior high school and senior high school.  Incentive schools: Beginning this fall, there will be seven incentive schools in the LRSD. They offer enriched programs geared to boost educational achievement and receive double funding compared to other elementary schools. There are attendance zones for incentive schools which will tell you which one you are eligible to attend. Voluntary transfers are available for students who wish to attend an incentive school. These transfers are subject to capacity. (See Diverse Choices, page 4) 3Mi Area Schools Offer Strong Curriculum J The area school option represents the number one choice for most parents in the Little Rock School District. Eighty percent of the Districts 25,600 students attend an area school. The core of the area school program is a comprehensive course of study which provides all students with the fundamental skills necessary to function as productive members of society. For elementary students, this means a strong classroom- based program in basic skills, as well as essential skill development necessary for problem solving and critical thinking. The elementary program focuses on instruction in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science. SZSI HHKIIll HHflI Ml M ! JWI Mil 71 r f HI H  * I II , 1 ' ti .

Extra-curricular athletic opportunities include basketball, football, golf, tennis, track, volleyball and, in some schools, baseball and soccer. The comprehensive high school program offers a diverse mix of opportunities and challenges, emphasizing critical thinking, teamwork, leadership and high expectations for personal achievement. The schools provide a significant array of academic programs, from advance placement courses in science, mathematics and liberal arts to vocational technical education courses. The graduation requirements are based on student mastery of specified skills in English, mathematics, science and social studies. Elective courses span a wide variety of subjects.

Among the issues that are important to ask everyone about are homework, teacher style, competition, expectations for achievement and program extras (music, art, computers, extended- day activities, field trips).  For older students, ask about elective courses, extracurricular activities and sports.  Find out about disciplinary expectations. How is behavior managed? Are rules consistent and clear? You should now have your own idea about what makes a good school. Compare your findings with any information or brochures offered by the schools. After youve gone through this inventory and any other concerns you may have raised, make a comparison between the schools and your child and decide which makes the best match. We're excited about our opportunity to touch the future.

If you have any questions, call the Student Assignment Office at 324-2272 T/ic next preregistration opportunity will be April 9 - |Me 1. school year or children who will be five years old by October 1, 1991, should complete the pre-registration process February 26 to March 8 to receive a confirmed assignment by April 8. Here's what you must do: I. Obtain a Pupil Information Form from your area school. If you arent sure which area zone you live in, come by the Student Assignment Office at 501 Sherman Street to look at maps of the District or call 324- 2272 and tell them your address. The office is open from 8:30 a m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. 2. Parents or guardians must bring proof of the student's age AND verification of home address. A certified birth certificate, visa or passport will work. Also, to verify your address, bring a current utility statement, a sales/purchase contract, lease agreement or personal property tax bill, it is very important that we have the correct home address for your child. Throughout the school year, we will use your home address to mail important information to you. If you move during the school year, notify your assigned school immediately. 3. A new student, a student rising from the sixth or ninth grades and grandfathered students may request another school. Options are incentive schools, high school kindergartens, interdistrict magnets and majority-to-minority transfers (they'll probably say \"M-to-M\".) To do this. fill out a form called the Optional Enrollment Request Form at the school. Any applicant not chosen for immediate placement will be placed on a waiting list. 4. Sibling preference will be granted for students to their attendance zone school in order to attend school with a sibling who is enrolled in that school. Sibling preference does not apply to Magnet Schools. During the 1991-92 school year, a student will be allowed to make a sibling preference transfer to a non-attendance zone school if the student has a sibling who is enrolled at that school. Sibling preference transfers are subject to desegregation requirements and capacity. Children in the four-year-old programs may remain at that school for kindergarten. Parents who applied fora four-year-old seat but were denied admission should go to their attendance zone school to pre-register for kindergarten or an optional enrollment. The next pre-registration opportunity will be April 9 to lune 7. J. Act 609 Interdistrict Transfers Act 609 provides the option for a student to attend school in a district other than that in which he or she lives, subject to certain restrictions. Because the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County school districts operate under court-ordered desegregation plans, black students have the opportunity to transfer to a district outside Pulaski County, while white students from outside Pulaski County may transfer to the Little Rock School District as long as seats are available. Forms are available in the LRSD Student Assignment Office, 501 Sherman Street. The host district may transport from its boundary line to the assigned school. For further information, contact a LRSD parent recruiter at 324-2272. Diverse Choices (Continued from page I)  Magnet schools: At these schools, there is a thematic curriculum on which all courses focus. Enrollment is open countywide. There are 10 interdistrict magnets.  Interdistrict schools: For 1991-92, Romine Elementary will be an interdistrict school operated by the LRSD as a means of achieving voluntary integration. It will have a thematic focus which parents will determine this spring. It is open to students in the three districts. In addition, there are options for early childhood programs, desegregation transfers, majority to minority transfers and Act 609 transfers for students who live outside Pulaski County. f V 1 I 4 FOCUS / February 1991 I Incentive Schools Emphasize Science, Language, And Individualized Learning Our seven incentive schools for 1991-92 offer bright beeginnings for bright beginners with these ffeeaattuurrees which distinguish them from area schools:  Computer literacy and computer programming instruction is an opportunity to use the tools shaping the future. Children learn computer-based instruction in reading, mathematics, social studies, science and art. Beginning in the fourth grade, this includes a nine-week session on standard keyboarding practices. Students who achieve basic programming requirements are eligible for advanced instruction.  Extended day, week and year learning opportunities enhance the traditional school environment through free after-school and Saturday experiences.  Foreign language instruction prepares children with skills suited for a global perspective.  A permanent substitute teacher is assigned as a part of the learning team, offering stability and uniformity for instruction.  Additional instructional aides help as needed in the classroom.  Priority is given to learning skills with which to make decisions, solve problems and think creatively.  A tailor-made learning plan is developed to match each student's learning style, interests and needs.  Four-year-old programs offer an early start to help children learn to learn. The incentive school program is based on the K-6 core curriculum but uses a modified instructional approach that emphasizes more activity and involvement by the student. This includes team learning and whole group instruction. The goal for incentive schools is to promote and ensure academic excellence in schools that have been difficult to desegregate. Incentives schools receive double financial resources toward this end. Before And After School Child Care The CARE program is a non-profit program of child care offered to elementary age students in the LRSD. The program operates before and after school and all day on most school holidays. CARE provides a structured program of creative activities and recreation in a nurturing and familiar environment. The program operates from 7 a.m. until school opens and from the close of school until 5:30 p.m. (6 p.m. at incentive schools) and is located in elementary schools where there is a minimum of 15 participants.

Students may transfer to another area school as long as the reassignment allows the sending and the receiving school to comply with desegregation requirements and as long as a seat is available. Students may take two desegregation transfers at each organizational level (elementary, junior and senior high school). The purpose of the second desegregation transfer is to allow students to return to their previous school assignment. The District will provide transportation for desegregation transfer students where it is cost effective to do so. In the interest of reducing transportation costs, the District cannot commit to providing transportation to isolated areas or in cases that would cause buses to be under capacity. Desegregation transfers also will be granted to elementary schools that are difficult to desegregate. Desegregation transfers cannot be made to magnet schools.

A note from the Superintendent-. I hope you find the information presented here useful to you as you decide which school in the Little Rock School District will best meet your child's educational needs next year and in the years ahead. In my opinion, we now offer your child the best package of educational opportunities ever presented in the Little Rock School District.

A long-running court case dealing with various aspects of the District has recently been settled\npatrons agreed to a millage increase last spring that will solidify our financial base\nand a recent review of our District, in the form of a curriculum audit, has given us the necessary objective view of how we can best proceed to set our goals toward truly world class educational challenges for our students. I look forward to having you join us in this exciting opportunity to touch the future. Ruth S. Steele Superintendent Early Childhood Education Opportunities The early years of life are critical to help children realize full developmental potential.

Then just remember, we're waiting for your call to offer individual service. In the LRSD, it's a partnership from the beginning. As a first step in your selection process, why not ask yourself these questions or consider these suggestions:  Does my child have any special interests? Is there a school available to match my child's learning style?  Ask questions about the programs behind the labels, wade through the education jargon until you're satisfied that what your child needs is what that program covers.  Attend the open houses planned in the next couple of weeks at the schools.  Look at all the programs before you make a decision.  Try to get in a visit at the school during class hours so you can see kids in their classrooms.

Here is a summary of the options awaiting you in the Little Rock School District. Look them over in detail elsewhere in this newsletter and then follow the step-by-step registration guide on page 4. If you have any questions along the way, contact the Student Assignment Office, 324-2272.  Area schools: This is square one for you in the options offered your child in our District. Each student in the LRSD is assigned to an area school based on his or her address. The elementary school zones are paired through a \"feeder\" pattern so you will know where your child will attend school at the upper organizational levels- junior high school and senior high school.  Incentive schools: Beginning this fall, there will be seven incentive schools in the LRSD. They offer enriched programs geared to boost educational achievement and receive double funding compared to other elementary schools. There are attendance zones for incentive schools which will tell you which one you are eligible to attend. Voluntary transfers are available for students who wish to attend an incentive school. These transfers are subject to capacity. (See Diverse Choices, page 4) Area Schools Offer Strong Curriculum J The area school option represents the number one choice for most parents in the Little Rock School District. Eighty percent of the Districts 25,600 students attend an area school. The core of the area school program is a comprehensive course of study which provides all students with the fundamental skills necessary to function as productive members of society. For elementary students, this means a strong classroom- based program in basic skills, as well as essential skill development necessary for problem solving and critical thinking. The elementary program focuses on instruction in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science.

Extra-curricular athletic opportunities include basketball, football, golf, tennis, track, volleyball and, in some schools, baseball and soccer. The comprehensive high school program offers a diverse mix of opportunities and challenges, emphasizing critical thinking, teamwork, leadership and high expectations for personal achievement. The schools provide a significant array of academic programs, from advance placement courses in science, mathematics and liberal arts to vocational technical education courses. The graduation requirements are based on student mastery of specified skills in English, mathematics, science and social studies. Elective courses span a wide variety of subjects. Match (Continued from page I) they have to say about their children's experiences. Remember, however, that each child has different needs.  Among the issues that are important to ask everyone about are homework, teacher style, competition, expectations for achievement and program extras (music, art, computers, extended- day activities, field trips).  For older students, ask about elective courses, extracurricular activities and sports.  Find out about disciplinary expectations. How is behavior managed? Are rules consistent and clear? You should now have your own idea about what makes a good school. Compare your findings with any information or brochures offered by the schools. After youve gone through this inventory and any other concerns you may have raised, make a comparison between the schools and your child and decide which makes the best match. We re excited about our opportunity to touch the future. Getting a chance to work with your child is our privilege. 2 FOCUS/February 1991 AREA SCHOOLS DIRECTORY Senior High Schools Central 1500 Park St., 72202 324-2300 J.A. Fair 5201 David O.

If you have any questions, call the Student Assignment Office at 324-2272 Tfte next pre-registration opportunity will be A.pril 9 - |Me 1. school year or children who will be five years old by October 1, 1991, should complete the pre-registration process February 26 to March 8 to receive a confirmed assignment by April 8. Here's what you must do: 1. Obtain a Pupil Information Form from your area school. If you arent sure which area zone you live in, come by the Student Assignment Office at 501 Sherman Street to look at maps of the District or call 324- 2272 and tell them your address. The office is open from 8:30 a m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. 2. Parents or guardians must bring proof of the student's age AND verification of home address. A certified birth certificate, visa or passport will work. Also, to verify your address, bring a current utility statement, a sales/purchase contract, lease agreement or personal property tax bill. It is very important that we have the correct home address for your child. Throughout the school year, we will use your home address to mail important information to you. If you move during the school year, notify your assigned school immediately. 3. A new student, a student rising from the sixth or ninth grades and grandfathered students may request another school. Options are incentive schools, high school kindergartens, interdistrict magnets and majority-to-minority transfers (they'll probably say \"M-to-M\".) To do this. fill out a form called the Optional Enrollment Request Form at the school. Any applicant not chosen for immediate placement will be placed on a waiting list. 4. Sibling preference will be granted for students to their attendance zone school in order to attend school with a sibling who is enrolled in that school. Sibling preference does not apply to Magnet Schools. During the 1991-92 school year, a student will be allowed to make a sibling preference transfer to a non-attendance zone school if the student has a sibling who is enrolled at that school. Sibling preference transfers are subject to desegregation requirements and capacity. Children in the four-year-old programs may remain at that school for kindergarten. Parents who applied for a four-year-old seat but were denied admission should go to their attendance zone school to pre-register for kindergarten or an optional enrollment. The next pre-registration opportunity will be April 9 to lune 7. f 4 FOCUS/February 1991 Act 609 Interdistrict Transfers Act 609 provides the option fora student to attend school in a district other than that in which he or she lives, subject to certain restrictions.
