N \\ NASA/NSTA Space Science Student Involvement Program In 1980, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) teamed up to cosponsor the Space Science Student Involvement Program ($SIP). The SSIP program, designed to address the need for greater scientific literacy in the United States has touehed virtually millions of students and teachers and generated interest in aerospace science and technology. The NASA-NSTA Space Science Student Involvement Program {$SIP) is a set of interdisc!plinary competitions open to students and teachers in grades 6-Sand 9-12. Through involvement in SSIP, they are captured by the topic of Space. The program prOVidesopportunitiesfor participants to channel their fascination of Space through designing proposals for scientific experiments to be conducted in a space environment, creating artistic interpretations ol space scenes, or discussing space topics in Journalism and creative writing. Students work on their projects Individually or in teams, under the supervision of a teacher/ advisor. This partnership between the teacher and student enhances the SSIP experience and is an Important and unique aspect of the program .. SSIP is open to all students enrolled In grades 6-12 in au United States public, private, parochial and overseas schools, including U.S. civil and military overseas establishments, Puerto Rico, Guam, and U.S. outlying territories. The SSIP program is a useful vehicle, not only for teaching about space science or newspaper laYout or using a library, but for guiding students through the critical thinking process whereby they can develop reasoning and decision making Skills. The successful completion of an SSIP entry can bolster a student's self-esteem and confidence. We encourage YoU as a teacher and as a member of the vanguard of professionals who shape, guide, and motivate our future leaders to use the SSIP program to fit Your class, sehool, and community needs. In addition, we welcome YolJr feedback and input on the program, how you and Your students use SSIP, and how we can improve it to meet your needs and the needs YolJr students. SSIP has been endorsed by the Space Agency Forum on International Space Year (SAFISY) as an official ISY education project.  --- ~ sv~ - EXCITING RESOURCES 1992 INTERNATIONAL SPACE YEAR: RESOURCE COMPENDIUM FOR EDUCATORS This compendium, created by the National Science Teachers Association- Space, Science, and Technology Division and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Elementary/Secondary Service, is designed to help educators serving grades K-12 to kick off the 1992 International Space Year. tt is also designed to help educators and students Investigate and celebrate space exploration for many years to come.

This has allowed us to lower the reg1stra.t1on fee for the ftrst time ever. In the pa.st, the costs of these soc!a.l functions were included in the reg1stra.tion fee, and thla resulted in the reglstration fee having to be ra.ised as food costs went up. Many of our participants have indicated they could better afford to attend the Congress ifwe removed the costs of the banquet and luncheon in their reglstration fee and give them the option of attending these soc!a.l functions. As a point of information for individuals who have never attended the National Congress, the Brewer Tropby Luncheon is where the Frank G. Brewer Tropby, the Nation's hlghest award in aerospace education, is presented. This prestigious award is presented by the National Aeronautic Assoo:iation, and each year they furn1sh a nationa.lly renown aerospace leader as the luncheon speaker.

Hql-317 December 10, 1991 Mrs. ' Catherine Johnson Catherine Johnson \u0026amp; Associates Capitol Towers Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dea{ Mrs. Johnson: I am\\ submitting recommendations requested concerning the Aerospa~~ School project. They represent my experiences in school building construction and an extensive review of the current literature on the subject. Using the major function timeline for the Aerospace Education Center from which to operate, it is my judgment that the major function timeline for the Aerospace School can still be completed within the same time period. But, in order for that to happen, a specific working relationship between the Aerospace Center Committee and the Little Rock School Board must be developed. Phase One of that relationship involves the creation of an education plan and the educational specifications that follow. It will be impossible for the architect to move forward until that occurs. The planning process outlined between December 1, 1991 and July 1, 1992 focuses on the regular interaction between the board, the school administration and the Aerospace Center Committee. In this review, I did not address the financial issue. However, it is my belief that phase one of the project represents little expenditure but demonstrates a seriousness on the part of the school board and its administration to see the partnership through. I look forward to presenting to you and members of the Committee these recommendations and answering any questions that need be addressed. I will be pleased to work with the School Board individually to the extent to which you direct me to do so. Thank you again. _Sin/e relyo_, __ George D. Cannon GDC/mm AEROSPACE SCHOOL Introduction The Little Rock school board's decision to establish an Aerospace secondary school in conjunction with the planned Aerospace Museum/Center Complex at Little Rock Airport represents a unique and wonderful opportunity to expand education programs beyond traditional boundaries. The partnership created in this effort seems to represent the kind of relationship envisioned in the President's 2000 INITIATIVE. Education reform of the 1980s not withstanding, America's confidence in its schools today is badly shaken. Growing consensus is that solutions to the country's education problems rest with collaboratives -- new and different partnerships. The Aerospace School Museum/Center proposal represents a new approach. Little Rock can be on the early wave of a new national reform effort. A wave that can carry education and economic benefits to the whole community. The Aerospace School Museum/Center, with its accompanying technology, will provide students experiences and options previously unavailable to them. And once in place, the project may well become a catalyst for recruiting aerospace industry to the state. The alliance between the schools and businesses will enhance much needed trust and cooperation between both for a better future. Aerospace School Socrates to Adeimantus: \"Well, and don't you know that in every task the most important thing is the beginning ..... \" The recognition for the need to plan has been around for quite a while. Schools have no less responsibility than businesses in planning ahead. This task is to provide a set of guidelines to follow in taking the proposed aerospace school from an idea to a completed facility ready to accept its first round of students. When building a school it is my experience that board policies and actions exert greater influence over the planning process than any other combination of factors because school planning is directed and governed by school board policy. Given the uniqueness of the Aerospace School and its relationship to the Museum Center/Complex, coordination should not only be internal but include appropriate Museum/Center planners as well. You cannot build a building if you haven't identified the program for which the school is being constructed. To do that the planning team must: 1 IDENTIFY Legitimate Purposes 3 PROPOSE A Written Program of Space Needs 4 DEVELOP 2 INTERPRET Program needs of school as they relate to facility developed (Educational Specifications) 1 IDENTIFY LEGITIMATE PURPOSES and 2 INTERPRET or rationale for school needs The Administration brings forward to the Board the precise quantitative and qualitative factors in the development of the new school. This is the Education Plan, and its components include: A. The Curriculum Plan B. The Operations Plan C. The Instruction Plan D. The Organization Plan E. The Staffing Plan F. The Evaluation Plan G. The Staff Training Plan H. The Support Plan The stated mission of the Aerospace School and the components of the education plan provide essential information upon which the justification of the school program is based. Information the school board must have in making good decisions. The building of an Aerospace School cannot move forward without an approved Education Plan. 3 WRITTEN PROGRAM OF NEEDS (Education Specifications) The educational specifications or program requirements are the means by which the school district administration describes the educational activities and spaces which need to be incorporated in the proposed new Aerospace School. These are written statements that serve as a vehicle for communication between the administration and the architect. These are not precise statements of program or curriculum. These are not technical specifications similar to those provided the engineer by the architect. They represent a connecting link between the two. These recommendations suggest an educational solution in terms of building needs. This information is essential before an architect can begin developing architectural solutions and issuing builidng plans to prospective contractors. 4 DEVELOP Architect School Principal Staffing Construction Equipment PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROJECT School Board (A) Adopts permissive and guiding policies (B) Approves the official and written product (C) Authorizes consulting services (D) Employs specialists Administration (Superintendent) (A) Designates Director of the Study Committee (B) Provides leadership and assistance throughout the study (C) Evaluates the progress (D) Interprets results to Board, Staff and Community Working Committee (To include representatives from Museum/Center) (To include representative from the School Board) (A) Responsible for organization of the study (B) Identifies needs, objectives, and goals of Aerospace School (C) Prepares written report of findings (D) Reports to Superintendent through Study Director Educational Consultant (Aerospace Program Expertise) (A) Provides guidance and planning information (B) Interprets trends and new programs (C) Assists with Educational specifications Architect (A) Observer and consultant during program development (B) Serves as advisor on architectural considerations ., DEFINITION OF TERMS 1.

BOYNE November 24, 1991 Representative Ray Thornton House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Thornton: First, let me congratulate you and your constituents on the remarkable progress being made by the unique new Aerospace Education Center in Little Rock. It is rare for so ambitious a project to gather such uniform support from the community, industry and the local governing bodies. As you know, the Aerospace Education Center will become the focus for research in aviation and space subjects not only for the students fortunate enough to be enrolled in the magnet school, but also for every other student in Little Rock. In addition, scholars will come from all over to use its facilities, particularly if, as is now possible, the Center begins with a well developed library and archives from the start. From my experience as Director of the National Air and Space Museum, I know how vital an archive like this is to students, scholars, museum people and the visiting public. Such an archive is in fact indispensable--and extraordinarily difficult to create, particular at the current time, when so many collections are being purchased for speculative purposes. It would be possible to launch the Center with one of the best aviation libraries in the country--bar none--if it were able to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the sale of the Jay Miller collection in Dallas. I know that you are familiar with the collection, but I take the liberty to enclose just a sampling of the library. I want to emphasize that this is only about 20% of the book collection. Perhaps even more important from the researchers point of view is the enormous, well indexed collection of black and white photos and color slides. These have a great intrinsic value, but this is overshadowed by the tremendous historical worth of the collection. Sadly, it is almost certain that this collection will be purchased by foreigners and leave the country unless some action is taken as soon as possible to secure it for the Aerospace Education Center. Officials from a Japanese prefecture have evaluated the collection in detail, and have indicated that they are willing to pay $600,000 for the collection. They are presently working on the processing of their necessary paperwork to effect the buy. In addition, I enclose a prospectus on the collection made at the request of the Saudi government as a part of reconstituting the research facilities in Kuwait. As you'll see, the prospectus quotes a price of $885,000, and I personally believe that the Saudi's will respond affirmatively. 21028 STARFLOWER WAY ASHBURN, VIRGINIA 22011 (703) 689-1344 (METRO) (703) 729-8687 I believe this to be the opportunity of a lifetime for the Center. I have inspected the collection in depth, and while I am not an appraiser, I would say with confidence that its value certain lies within the $600,000 to $900,000 range. And it absolutely would not be possible to duplicate this collection at any price, for the photo opportunities will never occur again. The books themselves might be brought together individually, but the price would be astronomical, and it would take, at a minimum, ten years to accomplish the task. One thing that must be emphasized is that this is the collection of a knowledgeable connoisseur, one who selectively picked the best and most important books over the years, and maintained them in perfect condition. Its value will increase through the years, and so will that of the unique memorabilia that the collection holds. I urge you to take the necessary steps to make this collection available to the Aerospace Education Center, to serve as a center of gravity for its research efforts, and as the pattern for its future acquisitions. The students who go to the Center's school and museum both deserve need to have a collection like this to inspire them and to provide them the tools with which to learn. n Calendar No. 222 102D CONGRESS H R 2942 1ST SESSION   [Report No. 102-148] MaJing appropriations for the Department of Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1992, and for other purposes. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES JULY 25 Oegislative day, JULY 8), 1991 Received\nread t\"wice and referred to the Committee on Appropriations SEPTEMBER 12 Oegislative day, SEPTEMBER 10), 1991 Reported by Mr. LAuTENBERG, v.1th amendments [Omit I.he part struck through a.nd insert the part printed in italic] AN ACT Making appropriations for the Department of Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September SO, 1992, and for other purposes. 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represenla- 2 lives of the United Stales of America in Congress assembled, 3 That the following sums are appropriated, out of any money 4 in the Treasu~y not otherwise appropriated, for the Depart- ADMINISTRATION OF AIRPORTS PROGRAM The Committee recommends $41,536,000 and 549 ~itions for this program. The amount recommended represents a $4,616,000 in crease over the fiscal year 1991 level. Under this program, FAA makes airport safety and certification inspections, assures compliance with safety standards, resolves environmental issues, operates the Airports Grants Program, and carries out other activities associated with the development and improvement of the Nation's system of public airports. The Committee has provided the additional 528 personnel requested for airport certification, environmental assessment, and implementation of the passenger facilities charge program. The Committee, however, has deleted $570,000 and two positions associated with airport development and capacity enhancement. These activities are now handled in a separate office, within the operation of air traffic control system activity. Both the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] and the Nation al Transportation Safety Board [NTSB] have given significant attention to the problem of runway incursions involving aircraft and airside vehicles. The Committee recognizes that it is important for airport operators to implement effective airside vehicle driver training programs in accordance with FAR part 139-329 (airport certification-ground vehicles). The Committee directs that the FAA, in concert with airport tenants and airport operators, assist in developing quality driver training programs. We urge FAA to contract with an organization with appropriate expertise to develop a model airside vehicle driving training program that will allow airports to provide standardized instructions to applicable airport and tenant employees. HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT The Committee recommends $288,625,000 and 1,460 positions for human resource planning and evaluation, and the administration of FAA employee recruitment, compensation, centralized training, employee relations, and labor-management relations. The recommended funding ref.resents an increase of $15,576,000 over the fiscal year 1991 leve . Within the funds provided, the Committee is making available funds for two categories of aviation education financial assistance agreements. First, agreements may be made with up to four aviation magnet secondary schools to be selected at the discretion of the Federal Aviation Administrator. These funds may be used for equipment, books, and other supplies. Second, agreements may be made with up to 57 educational insti tutions, within the United States and its territories and possessions, to be selected at the discretion of the Federal Aviation Administrator, to assist in the operation of affiliated summer camps for secondary school students where aviation education activities will be carried out. Summer camp funds may be used for equipment, books and other supplies, and tuition assistance. The Committee expects the cost of the aviation grant activity to be relative-ly modest, as the program is intended only to provide seed money to help develop and expand aviation education opportunities. The Committee has not included the $2,000,000 provided by the House for the Aviation Resource Consortium in Minnesota. AVIATION AND AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY LIBRARY AVIATION AND AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY LIIlRARY The most comprehensive privately-owned technical and historical aviation and aerospace library in the United States is available for purchase. The collection has been formed over the past thirty-five years by a wellknown American aviation historian, author, and publisher. Emphasis throughout is on aviation technology and history.

Steele, Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: Long Range Building Planning Committee The Long Range Building Planning Committee's report, dated April 22, 1991, is an internal report to me. Roman Numerals I-VI of the report merely identify background information as well as a few options that could be explored if we encounter capacity problems in the future. Our present enrollment projections for junior high schools do not indicate any serious capacity problems over the next five (5) years if the proposed construction is approved. The Desegregation Plan allows the district to use portable buildings if we encounter capacity problems. 1 Roman Numeral VII represents recommendations for further discussion with you and, eventually, parties in the desegregation case. Provided is Attachment 1, mentioned on page 4 of the April 22 memorandum. Please review this information by our working session on Monday, April 29 at 5 p.m. Enclosure TO: LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, AR 72201 April 22, 1991 Ruth Steele, Superintendent FROM: Long Range Building Planning Committee James Jennings, Associate Superintendent Jl.1Brady Gadberry, Labor Relations Specialist '~sterling Ingra~Director, Planning, Research \u0026amp; Eval l(hip Jones, Manager of Support Services SUBJECT: Long Range Building Planning Committee As we have considered the building needs for the District, we have concentrated primarily on selecting sites for new incentive/interdistrict schools, recommended uses of vacant buildings, and secondary capacity. I. School Sites The District currently owns four properties that have potential as sites for new or expanded schools. Discussions have been held with Philander Smith College for a possible fifth site. (a) One site is located at the present Westside campus. The Westside property is only a few blocks from I-630, very accessible to all areas of the City and County, and is adjacent to Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH). ACH has already expressed enthusiastic support for a school located near them. They also would like to develop plans for joint use of the property so that LRSD and ACH will develop a partnership to serve educational and health needs of children. Preliminary site plans indicate that a two-story building with a capacity of 656 K-6 students and 40 four-year-olds for a total of 696 students can be located on the site. This plan will require efficient use of space but offers the potential for a unique and exiting facility. (b) Rockefeller School is located on a tract of land that is well-suited for expansion. Ample space is ava ilable for a classroom addition to p rovide s e ats for students east of I-30. The s chool is a l so easily acc ess ibl e a nd has f:public\\software\\word\n:,erf\\docs\\bldcom. wpd Ruth Steel e April 22, 1991 Page 2 been successful in attracting students from all over the City. (c) The current Stephens site is adequate to support a school for approximately 656 K-6 students and 40 four-year-old students for a total of 696 students. The current Stephens building would be replaced with a new structure. Rebuilding Stephens on the current site enables a significant number of black students to attend school without being bussed out of the neighborhood. (d) The site of the former King/Oakhurst School is a physically attractive location situated east of CurranConway Field. The King site is also large enough to accommodate approximately 840 K-6 students and 40 fouryear- olds for a total of 880 students. The King site is also attractive because of its proximity to Curran-Conway Field. The District would seek to enter into a joint-use agreement with the City so that the students will develop interests in a variety of extra-curricular activities. In order to populate a school on the King sit~, it will be necessary to transport some black students from one predominately black attendance zone to another predominately black attendance zone which would increase the burden of bussing for black students. ( e) Philander Smith College has expressed an interest in developing a model teacher education training program and would like to develop a partnership with the District. They have rejected our proposal to build a school on their campus, but we should continue to plan to develop cooperative efforts with Philander Smith. II. Attendance Zone Data - Elementary Schools This section will address the attendance zone changes that are needed to comply with two objectives. First, King and Stephens Schools will be rebuilt in the I-630 Corridor. These schools will become interdistrict schools, and they will have a racial balance of 60 percent black and 40 percent white. The white population in these schools will come primarily from PCSSD. f : public\\so ftware\\wordperf\\docs\\b ldcom. wpd Ruth Steele April 22, 1991 Page 3 Second, the District is seeking to reduce the burden of bussing on black students by eliminating as many satellite zones as possible. The fulfillment of this objective is restricted by the minimum black percentage that is required in all elementary area schools. As a result, some schools in west Little Rock must maintain some, if not all, of their satellite zone blocks in order to comply with court-ordered desegregation requirements. These two objectives are interrelated. The construction projects will make it possible for students who live in the attendance zone of incentive/interdistrict schools to attend these schools. These projects will also, to some extent, reduce the burden of bussing on black students. A total of 2190 students currently reside in the attendance zones of the incentive schools. The total capacity of the seven incentive schools is 2405, using a teacher/pupil ratio of 1: 25. Al though 215 vacancies will exist if all of the attendance zone students attend the incentive schools, these vacancies can be filled by students who currently' reside in nearby satellite zones. A total of 281 students currently reside in satellite zones that can be eliminated and still allow the respective attendance zone schools to comply with the minimum desegregation requirements. This situation is complicated by the fact that 200 of the 281 satellite students live near the Stephens/Garland area. Another serious problem involves the Washington Magnet School attendance zone. Washington is the only elementary magnet school with an attendance zone. This zone was drawn initially to accommodate 1050 incentive school students. The school was converted to a magnet school under the Tri-District Desegregation Plan. The District recently received court approval to continue to operate Washington as a magnet school. The attendance zone for Washington is too large to accommodate all of the black students. Washington's capacity is 814. There are 892 black students who reside in the Washington attendance zone. The desegregation requirement for Washington is 60% black. As a result, only 60 percent (488) of the black attendance zone students may attend Washington. The remaining 404 students must be reassigned to non-attendance zone schools. These reassignments usually involve bu:::.::.i ng students from east Little Rock to s outhwest Little Rock. f:public\\software\\wordperf\\docs\\bldcom. wpd Ruth . Steele April 22, 1991 Page 4 Most of the 404 students from the Washington attendance zone (355 stud~nts) reside on the northeast edge of the District. The closest elementary schools to these students are Carver Magnet School, Booker Magnet School, and Rockefeller Incentive School. The magnet shadow preferences for Carver and Booker ( 25 percent of the building capacity) are too small to accommodate these students. III. Attendance Zone Data - Secondary Schools In a separate process, a formula has been developed to calculate capacities for secondary schools. It is apparent from the study that very little capacity exists currently at the junior high level and a significant amount of capacity exists in the senior highs. However, as shown in the attached projections (Attachment 1), the District seems to have reached the peak of junior high enrollment in 1990-91 and that enrollment will decrease for a couple of years and then begin to increase again slightly in 1993-94. The projections indicate that senior high enrollment will increase over the next five years but not to the extent that additional capacity is required. However, adjustments to attendance zones may be required in 1992-93 or subsequent years. While educational trends indicate that articulation between sixth to seventh grades, eighth to ninth grades, and ninth to tenth grades is best with a grade structure of K-6, 7-8, and 9-12, it appears that the District should not consider changing its secondary grade structure as a means for solving secondary capacity problems. Junior high enrollment will range from 98% to 102% of capacity without the additional seats for the junior high schools and 91% to 97% with the proposed construction. The enrollment at Forest Heights is expected to exceed the current building capacity in 1993-94 and continue to increase in 1994-95 and 1995-96. In addition to this projection that is based on students currently enrolled in the Little Rock School District, census data reveals that the overall population in west Little Rock will continue to grow. The enrollment will range from 87% to 91% of capacity with the proposed construction. It appears that replacing 4 portable classrooms and adding 2 classrooms will be the maximum ~dvisable construction and will provide additional space for attendance f: public\\sof tware\\wordpe rf \\docs\\bl dcom .wpd Ruth Steele April 22, 1991 Page 5 zone students for Southwest Junior High. However, even these additional classrooms will not be totally sufficient to seat adequately the number of students in the attendance zone for Southwest.

A copy of Volume I of the grant application is enclosed. Volume II of the grant application is the LRSD Desegregatior. Plan which you already have . An Aerospace Technology Magnet located in the Little Rock School District is a component of the Tri-District Desegregation Plan found at page 13 of the section on Interdistrict Magnet Schools and Programs. LRSD believes that the Aerospace Technology Magnet, although not required by the Settlement Plans, would compliment those plans and advance the voluntary desegregation efforts contemplated by those plans. We hope to present to the court within the next week a stipulation of the parties in support of the Aerospace Technology Magnet. I thought it best to provide you a copy of the grant application now, however, because the application will remain viable only if the Aerospace Technology Magnet becomes a court approved component of the LRSD Desegregation Plan before February 4, 1991.

Date ______ _ FORM 48 -  - IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT V. NO. LR-C-82-866 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1, ET AL. MRS. LORENE JOSHUA, ET AL. KATHERINE KNIGHT, ET AL. PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS STIPULATION AND CONSENT ORDER REGARDING LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY MAGNET SCHOOL The undersigned parties stipulate and agree that the Little Rock School District (LRSD) desegregation plan should be amended to include an Aerospace Technology Magnet School as described in Exhibit \"A\" to this stipulation as modified below to address the concerns expressed by the Court and some of the parties. The parties further stipulate and agree that the Little Rock School District Aerospace Technology Magnet School can only be constructed and operated if the Little Rock School District receives approval of first-year funding of the Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant, for which Exhibit \"A\" is its application, in a total amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for 1991-92 and 1992-93\nand if the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society contributes at least Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00) as its share of the construction costs of the Aerospace Education Center which will house both the Aerospace Technology Magnet School and the Aerospace Museum. -- The purpose of this stipulation between the Joshua Intervenors and the Little Rock School District is to insure by specific outcome expectations that black youth will be at least as well served in educational outcomes, process, treatment, retention, promotion, rewards, awards and opportunities as white youth in the proposed Aerospace Magnet School. The underlying prem~se of Joshua is that students from higher socio-economic backgrounds, based upon past and present treatment by Little Rock School District, are being and will be well served by the district. The outcome expectations shall be measured.by objective, education related criteria. The results will be subject to further analysis by the Districtwide Biracial Committee and the Office of Desegregation Monitoring. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School is being integrated into and engrafted upon the Settlement Desegregation Plans of the parties (\"the Settlement Plans\"). The parties stipulate that the Aerospace Technology Magnet School Plans shall be consistent with the objectives of the Settlement Plans. The school shall be planned, opened and hereafter operate on a fully and thoroughly integrated basis in all aspects of its operations and outreach. The district shall accomplish this racially inclusive educational environment by whatever means necessary within federal law and by appropriate state law as well so long as state law does not diminish the remedial and desegregation objectives of the Settlement Plan. The district commits that it will maintain this facility on a racially integrated basis into perpetuity. 2 . a\n-__ ---  - The Aerospace Magnet School shall effectively be a joint venture between the school district and the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society in certain operational and financing respects. The school district, however, shall have full and final authority for all decisions and conduct of the school including but not limited to its staff, students, programs and activities. The local aerospace community consists of those aerospace technical business enterprises which are located around the Little Rock Regional Airport. It includes the Little Rock Airport Commission, a public enterprise, which operates the Little Rock Regional Airport. The Littl~ Rock Airport Commission and the following private aerospace technical business enterprises hereby make the commitments contained in the statement of support attached to this page and the reasonable inferences which flow therefrom regarding the level and duration of said support. A. Companies 1. Central Flying Service 2. Falcon Jet Corporation 3. Arkansas Modification Center 4. Midcoast Aviation 5. Air Transport International 6. Little Rock Regional Airport B. General Commitment (see attachment to this page) The Court shall be provided affidavits of support from representatives of the local aerospace community, not later than February 19, 1991. These affidavits of support will describe each 3 -- Statement in Support of the Aerospace Education Center As exerntives of Little Rock's aviation industries and the Little Rock Airport C.ommission, we endorse and lend our commitment to the planned Aerospace Education Center, combining an Aerospace Magnet High Sc.:hool with the Arkansas Museum of Aviacion History at Adams Field. The Aerospace Magnet High School will provide the educutionul base in math and science that our companies are looking for in new employees, making it possible for these studcnt_s to pursue careers here in Central Arkansas in our companies as well as other high technology iinus. Our companies are willing to provide adjunct faculty to both the high school and to the museum's educational outreach program, and will provide guest instrnctors, as needed, to enhunt:e curriculum nfferings. In addition, we will sponsor and encourage our employees to participate in a mentor progrum, working with students who wish to specialize in specific areas of expertise. While we anticipate the school's graduates becoming a soun:e of our permanent employees, we also plan to consider, whenever possible, opportunities for purt-time and :mmmer employment of students in aviation-related jobs. We wholeheanedly endorse Governor Clinton's initiative to develop industry apprenticeship programs, and pledge our cooperation to affect such a program in our industry here in Little Rock where it mny apply. We feel that apprenticeship progrum:\nin aviation-related skills, developed through what will be the excellent facilities of the Aerospace Education Center, could eventually hecome a significant soiirce of skilled workers for our companies. Little Rock's Aerospace Magnet High School will provide new opportunities for disadvantaged ttnd minority students, many of whom would have few other opportunities to gain the requisite skills to emer aerospace or other technology careers. We pledge to recruit disadvantaged and minority graduates from the Aerospace Magnet High School, in conjunction with our companies' respective uftin11ative nction pluns. The aviation industries of Central Arkansas have enjoyed phenomenal growth over the pust several years, offering economic benefits for not only our employees, but for the entire community. for this positive trend co cominue, we must work together with our schools to provide the skilled people needed for our industry. Therefore, we offer our unqualified endorsement of the Aerospu\u0026lt;.:e Education Center and pledge the support of our respective companies to ensure its success. r.

In the event that it is necessary to modify these commitments, notice shall be provided to the parties and efforts will be made to continue the spirit of these commitments. EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES 1. Student Education Plans (SEP's) shall be developed for each pupil who elects to attend the Aerospace Technology Magnet School. The plans shall be developed and then implemented in such a way as to insure that all pupils therein shall be \"mainstreamed\" into regular classes. If additional, out of class work is required in order to promote remediation to pupils to meet classroom work, the district shall offer it as needed at district expense either after school or on Saturdays. A principal objective of the SEP's is to allow the progress of each pupil to be measured periodically. It will also assist in determining individual teacher performance 4 - for evaluation purposes. 2. The school shall employ a sufficient number of teacher assistants to insure that the serious teaching and learning objectives of the Aerospace Magnet School shall be achieved. 3. It is expected that all pupils who enroll in this school shall be promoted each year and graduate from high school on time and with appropriate educational credentials for further study and/or entry into college type programs. The only possible exceptions to this expectation are those pupils who, by objective standards, considered after sufficient time has expired for the SEP' s to work, demonstrate that they do not have either the capacity or interest for the required school work. 4. There shall be no \"tracking\" in the Aerospace Magnet School. Those teachers or other staff who either allow or engage in the practice shall be subject to formal discipline. Any discipline of teachers shall be in accordance with the Professional Negotiations Agreement (PNA). 5. The racial balance of the student body of the Aerospace Magnet School shall bear a reasonable relationship to the racial balance of the other high schools. It initially shall be sixty percent (60%) bl:ack and forty percent (40%) white. The racial balance goal of the faculty shall be in reverse ratio due to the acknowledged shortage of black staff members. The district is committed, however, through the Settlement Plans, to increasing black staff by aggressive recruitment and by financial support for teacher aides who commit to obtain college training while on the 5 --  - job and a period of employment thereafter for the district. 6. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be operated and supported by the district in those ways which do not diminish the status, faculty or student bodies of the other high schools. 7. All students at the Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be privileged to participate in all school activities at all times provided their sch~ol work is first addressed to the level of their respective capacities and is otherwise acceptable. By agreement and stipulation of the parties, Exhibit \"A\" is modified as follows: PAGE AMENDMENTS Page 19 (Substitute first paragraph under caption \"HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION AND MAGNET SCHOOLS 11 ) In 1986, the Federal District Court approved an interdistrict plan of desegregation between the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County School Districts. That plan provided interdistrict remedies of magnet schools and majority to minority transfers. The percentage of black students in North Little Rock is approximately forty-six (46) and in Pulaski County is approximately thirty (30). Page 26 During the period of construction of the Aerospace Technology Magnet School, it will be sited at the Metropolitan Vocational School located near Interstate Highway Thirty (30) in Southwest 6 --- Little Rock. Architectural Plans are being developed and it is hoped that the school will be opened in the fall of 1992 or soon thereafter. (As a footnote, the architects who are working on these plans have committed to make a biracial effort of their further work on this project.) Page 23 SIBLING PREFERENCE There is and shall be no sibling preference for Magnet School assignment. Thus item six (6) on Page 23 is deleted. Page 27 Program Objective II (substituted) The District plan to open the Aerospace Technology Magnet School at Metropolitan High School on September, 1991, provided this grant application is timely approved, with the further expectancy that in September, 1992 or sooner thereafter the new school will be opened. The racial balance of the school shall be a range of black students within fifty-five to sixty-five percent and a range of white students between thirty-five and forty-five percent. Those rigures are comparable to the other senior high school enrollments. Page 29 (Last sentence on the page) Central High School has been successful in attracting white students from the Pulaski County and North Little Rock School 7 ' Districts. ---  - Page 32 (Supplement) Other standardized tests confirm the above disparities in test results between at least black and white students. The district is committed to fully addre~sing and remedying these disparities. To this end outcome objectives shall be formulated and implemented for students at all grade levels. In this way, students may be expected to have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace program. If those are not met, however, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. Page 36 (substitute) The Aerospace Technology Program will require students to have a firm grasp of basic skills. Those skills will be effectively taught to all students so that they will meet the high school standards in the areas of Algebra, Physical Science and Earth Science. The District will provide special support to underachieving pupils in order that those students may be equally successful in their classwork as the more advanced pupils.

PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS STIPULATION AND CONSENT ORDER REGARDING LITTLE ROCX SCHOOL DISTRICT AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY MAGNET SCHOOL The undersigned parties stipulate and agree that the Little Rock School District (LRSD) desegregation plan should be amended to include an Aerospace Technology Magnet School as described in Exhibit \"A\" to this stipulation as modified below to address the concerns expressed by the Court and some of the parties. The parties further stipulate and agree that the Little Rock School District Aerospace Technology Magnet School can only be constructed and operated if the Little Rock School District receives approval of first-year funding of the Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant, for which Exhibit \"A\" is its application, in a total amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for 1991-92 and 1992-93\nand if the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society contributes at least Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00) as its share of the construction costs of the Aerospace Education Center which will house both the Aerospace Technology Magnet School and the Aerospace Museum. -- The purpose of this stipulation between the Joshua Intervenors and the Little Rock School District is to insure by specific outcome expectations that black youth will be at least as well served in educational outcomes, process, treatment, retention, promotion, rewards, awards and opportunities as white youth in the proposed Aerospace Magnet School. The underlying prem} se of Joshua is that students from higher socio-economic backgrounds, based upon past and present treatment by Littl e Rock School District, are being and will be well served by the district. The outcome expectations shall be measured . by objective, education related criteria. The results will be subject to further analysis by the Districtwide Biracial Committee and the Office of Desegregation Monitoring. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School is being integrated into and engrafted upon the Settlement Desegregation Plans of the parties (\"the Settlement Plans\"). The parties stipulate that the Aerospace Technology Magnet School Plans shall be consistent with the objectives of the Settlement Plans. The school shall be planned, opened and hereafter operate on a fully and thoroughly integrated basis in all aspects of its operations and outreach. The district shall accomplish this racially inclusive educational environment by whatever means necessary within federal law and by appropriate state law as well so long as state law does not diminish the remedial and desegregation objectives of the Settlement Plan. The district commits that it will maintain this facility on a racially integrated basis into perpetuity. 2 The Aerospace Magnet School shall effectively be a joint venture between the school district and the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society in certain operational and financing respects. The school district, however, shall have full and final authority for all decisions and conduct of the school including but not limited to its staff, students, programs and activities. The local aerospace community consists of those aerospace technical business enterprises which are located around the Little Rock Regional Airport. it includes the Little Rock Airport Commission, a public enterprise, which operates the Little Rock Regional Airport. The Little Rock Airport Commission and the following private aerospace technical business enterprises hereby make the commitments contained in the statement of support attached to this page and the reasonable inferences which flow therefrom regarding the level and duration of said support. A. Companies 1. Central Flying Service 2. Falcon Jet Corporation 3. Arkansas Modification Center 4. Midcoast Aviation 5. Air Transport International 6. Little Rock Regional Airport B. General Commitment (see attachment to this page) The Court shall be provided affidavits of support from representatives of the local aerospace community, not later than February 19, 1991. These affidavits of support will describe each 3 --  - Statement in Support of the Aerospace Education Center As exerntives of Little Rock's aviation industries and 1he Little Rock Airport Commission, we endorse and lend our commitment to the planned Aerospace Education Center, combining an Acrosp:ice Magner lligh Sc.:hool with the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History at Adams Field. The Aerospace Magnet High School will provide the edu\u0026lt;.:utionul base in math and science 1har our companies are looking for in new employees, making it possible for these students to pursue careers here in Central Arkansas in our companies as well as other high technology iir1us. Our companies are willing to provide adjunct faculty to both the high school and to 1he museum's t!ducationa.l Olltreach program, and will provide guest instrncrors, as needed, to enhunc.:e currkulum nfferings. In addition, we will sponsor and encourage our employees to panicipate in a mentor progrum, working with students who wish to specialize in specific areas of expertise. While we anticipate the school's graduates becoming a sourt:e of our permanent employees, we also plan to consider, whenever possible, opportunities for purt-time and :\nummer employment of studems in aviation-related jobs. We wholeheanedly endorse Governor Clinton's initiative to develop industry appremiceship programs, and pledge our cooperation to affect such a program in our industry here in Li1tle Rocle where it mny apply. We feel that apprenticeship programs in aviation-related skills, developed through what will be the excellent facilities of the Aerospace Education Center. could eventually become a significant source of skilled workers for our companies. Little Rock's Aerospace Magnet High School will provide new opportunities for disadvantaged 11nd minority srudents, many of whom would have few other opportunities to gain the requisite skills to enter aerospace or other technology careers. We pledge to recruit disadvantaged and minority graduates from the Aerospace Magnet High School, in conjllncrion with our companies' respective uffinnative action pluns. The aviation industries of Central Arkansas have enjoyed phenomenal srowth over the pust several years, offering economic benefits for not only our employees, but for the entire community. for this positive trend ro cominue, we must work together with our schools to provide the skilled people needed for our industry. Therefore, we offer our unqualified endorsement of the Aerospace Education Center and pledge the support of our respective companies to ensure its success. fi. Taylor Brown Senior Vice President Falcon Jet Corporation Senior Vice President and General Manager Midcoast Aviation - Little Rock James R. Rodgers Dennis D. Davis President Arkansas Modification Center ~~~~ President Central Flying Service -- company's present commitments and future voluntary efforts in the following areas: (a) specific employment, hiring and promotion commitments for each of the employers and affect all future employment opportunities\n(b) summer training and employment opportunities for the black pupils who will attend the Aerospace Magnet Technology School\n(c) year round mentoring and support programs for black pupils at the school\n(d) preferential consideration upon graduation for training or apprenticeship programs and employment within these enterprises\n(e) creation of racially inclusive, nondiscriminatory work environments\nand (f) broad based racial and gender representation on appropriate advisory and governing boards of each of the business enterprises. In the event that it is necessary to modify these commitments, notice shall be provided to the parties and efforts will be made to continue the spirit of these commitments. EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES 1. Student Education Plans (SEP's) shall be developed for each pupil who elects to attend the Aerospace Technology Magnet School. The plans shall be developed and then implemented in such a way as to insure that all pupils therein shall be \"mainstreamed\" into regular classes. If additional, out of class work is required in order to promote remediation to pupils to meet classroom work, the district shall offer it as needed at district expense either after school or on Saturdays. A principal objective of the SEP's is to allow the progress of each pupil to be measured periodically. It will also assist in determining individual teacher performance 4 --- for evaluation purposes. 2. The school shall employ a sufficient number of teacher assistants to insure that the serious teaching and learning objectives of the Aerospace Magnet School shall be achieved. 3. It is expected that all pupils who enroll in this school shall be promoted each year and graduate from high school on time and with appropriate e~ucational credentials for further study and/or entry into college type programs. The only possible exceptions to this expectation are those pupils who, by objective standards, considered after sufficient time has expired for the SEP' s to work, demonstrate that they do not have either the capacity or interest for the required school work .  4. There shall be no \"tracking\" in the Aerospace Magnet School. Those teachers or other staff who either allow or engage in the practice shall be subject to formal discipline. Any discipline of teachers shall be in accordance with the Professional Negotiations Agreement (PNA). 5. The racial balance of the student body of the Aerospace Magnet School shall bear a reasonable relationship to the racial balance of the other high schools. It initially shall be sixty percent (60%) bl:\"ack and forty percent (40%) white. The racial balance goal of the faculty shall be in reverse ratio due to the acknowledged shortage of black staff members. The district is committed, however, through the Settlement Plans, to increasing black staff by aggressive recruitment and by financial support for teacher aides who commit to obtain college training while on the 5 - job and a period of employment thereafter for the district. 6. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be operated and supported by the district in those ways which do not diminish the status, faculty or student bodies of the other high schools. 7. All students at the Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be privileged to participate in all school activities at all times provided their sch~ol work is first addressed to the level of their respective capacities and is otherwise acceptable. By agreement and stipulation of the parties, Exhibit \"A\" is modified as follows: PAGE AMENDMENTS Page 19 (Substitute first paragraph under caption \"HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION AND MAGNET SCHOOLS\") In 1986, the Federal District Court approved an interdistrict plan of desegregation between the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County School Districts. That plan provided interdistrict remedies of magnet schools and majority to minority transfers. The percentage of black students in North Little Rock is approximately forty-six (46) and in Pulaski County is approximately thirty (30). Page 26 During the period of construction of the Aerospace Technology Magnet School, it will be sited at the Metropolitan Vocational School located near Interstate Highway Thirty (30) in Southwest 6 --- Little Rock. Architectural Plans are being developed and it is hoped that the school will be opened in the fall of 1992 or soon thereafter. (As a footnote, the architects who are working on these plans have committed to make a biracial effort of their further work on this project.) Page 23 SIBLING PREFERENCE There is and shall be no sibling preference for Magnet School assignment. Thus item six (6) on Page 23 is deleted. Page 27 Program Objective II (substituted) The District plan to open the Aerospace Technology Magnet School at Metropolitan High School on September, 1991, provided this grant application is timely approved, with the further expectancy that in September, 1992 or sooner thereafter the new school will be opened. The racial balance of the school shall be a range of black students within fifty-five to sixty-five percent and a range of white students between thirty-five and forty-five percent. Those -figures are comparable to the other senior high school enrollments. Page 29 (Last sentence on the page) Central High School has been successful in attracting white students from the Pulaski County and North Little Rock School 7 Districts. -- Page 32 (Supplement) Other standardized tests confirm the above disparities in test results between at least black and white students. The district is committed to fully addre~sing and remedying these disparities. To this end outcome objectives shall be formulated and implemented for students at all grade levels. In this way, students may be expected to have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace program. If those are not met, however, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. Page 36 (substitute) The Aerospace Technology Program will require students to have a firm grasp of basic skills. Those skills will be effectively taught to all students so that they will meet the high school standards in the areas of Algebra, Physical Science and Earth Science. The District will provide special support to underachieving pupils in order that those students may be equally successful in their classwork as the more advanced pupils. Page 52 (New paragraph 2) 8 The planning process was not successful in including black citizens to the extent that it included white citizens as set out in paragraph one, supra. Nor did it include the LRSD Biracial Committee in the process. These unintentional omissions will be corrected forthwith and will not be repeated. The Biracial Committee and Joshua shall be fully represented in the Magnet School Planning Committee described in the next paragraph and shall otherwise be utilized to insure that this school meets its goals and expectations. Page 58 (a new last sentence on the page) This summer program, which will be at school district expense, shall not be used to defer, delay or withhold ongoing remediation and supplemental assistance to achievement.

ROCI SCHOOL DISTRICT ABBQSPACE TECHNOLOGY MAGNET SCHOOL The undersigned parties stipulate and agree that the Little Rock School District (LRSD) desegregation plan should be amended to include an Aerospace Technology Magnet School as described in Exhibit \"A\" to this stipulation as modified below to address the concerns e~pressed 'by the Court and some of the parties. The parties turther stipulate and agree that the Little Rock School District Aerospace Technology Magnet School can only be constructed and operated if the Little Rock School District receives approval of first-year funding o! the Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant, for which Exhibit 11A11 is its application, in a total amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for 1991-92 and 1992-93: and if the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society contributes at least Four Million Five Hundred Dollars ($4,S00,ooo.oo) as its share of the construction costs of the Aerospace Education Center which will house both the Aerospace Technology Magnet School and the Aerospace Museum. P. 3 The purpose of this stipulation between the Joshua Intervenors and the Little Rock School District is to insure by specifie outcome expectations that blaek youth will be at least as well served in educational outcomes, process, treatment, retention, promotion, rewards, awards and opportunities as white youth in the proposed Aerospace Magnet School. The underlying premise of Joshua is that student from higher socio-economic backgrounds, based upon past and present treatment by Little Rock School District, are being and will be well served by the district. The outcome expectations shall be measured by objective, education related criteria. The results will be subject to further analysis by the District-wide Bi-racial Committee and the Office of the Monitor. The Aerospace Teehnology Magnet School is being integrated into and angrafted upon the settlement Desegregation Plans of the parties {\"the Settlement Plans11 ). The parties stipulate that the Aerospace Technology Magnet School Plans shall be consistent with the objectives of the Settlement Plans. The sehool shall be planned, opened and hereafter operate on a fully and thoroughly integrated basis in all aspects of its operations and outreach. The district shall accomplish this racially inclusive educational environment by whatever means necessary within federal law and by appropriate state law as well so long as state law does not diminish the remedial and desegregation objectives of the Settlement Plan. The district commits that it will maintain this facility on a racially integrated basis into perpetuity. 2 I FEB 01 '91 14=24 P.4 The Aerospace Magnet School shall effectively be a joint venture between the school district and the local community's aerospace industry in certain operational and financing respects. The school district, however, shall have full and final authority for all decisions and conduct of the school including but not limited to its staff, students, programs and activities, The loeal . aerospace community referre~ to herein consists of those aerospace .technical business enterprises which are located around the Little Rock Regional Airport. It includes the Little Rock Airport Commission, a public enterprise, which operates the Little Rock Regional Airport. The Little Rock Airport commission and the following private aerospace technical business enterprises hereby make the following commitments to the Court with the further representation that the commitments shall become, with elaboration, contractual Colllll\\itments between these parties and the school district to whieh affected pupils become third party beneficiaries. A. Companies 1, Central Flying service 2. Falcon Jet Corporation 3. Arkansas Modification Center 4. Midcoast Aviation s. Air Transport International 6. Little Rook Regional Airport B, General Commitment (see statement attached to this page) 3 FEB 01 '91 14 :25 P. 5 The Court shall be provided affidavits of support, with the promised elaboration set out above, not later than February 19, 1991. These elaborations will commit to (a) specific employment, hiring and promotion commitments for each of the employers and affect all future employment opportunities\n(b) summer training and employment opportunities for the black pupils who will attend the , Aerospace Magnet Technology School\n(c) year round mentoring and , - support programs for black pupils at the school\n(d) preferential consideration upon graduation for training or apprenticeship programs and employment within these enterprises\n(e) creation of racially inclusive, nondiscriminatory work environments\nand (f) broad based racial and gender representation on appropriate advisory and governing boards of each of the business enterprises. These commitments will be permanent and binding upon these employers or enterprises as well as their successors. EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES 1, Student Education Plans (SEP's) shall be developed tor each pupil who elects to attend the Aerospace Technology Magnt School, The plans shall be developed and then implemented in such a way as to insure that all pupils therein shall be \"mainstreamed'' into regular classes. If additional, out of class work is required in order to promote remediation to pupils to meet classroom work, the district shall offer it as needed at district expense either after school or on Saturdays. A principal objective ot the S'EP 1s is to allow the progress of each pupil to be ~easured periodically. It will also assist in determining individual teacher performance 4 FEB 01 '91 1~ =25 P . 6 for evaluation purposes. 2, The school shall employ a fsufficient number of teaeher assistants to insure that the serious teaching and learning objectivas of the Aerospace Magnet School shall be achieved. 3. It is expected that all pupils who enroll in this school shall be promoted each year and graduate from high school on time  and with appropriate educational credentials for further study , - and/ or entry into college type programs, Th only possible exceptions to this expectation are those pupils who, by objective standards, considered after sufficient time has expired for th 6EP 1 s to work, demonstrate that they do not . have either the capacity or interest tor the required school work, 4. There shall be no \"tracking\" in the Aerospace Magnet School. Those teachers or other staff who either allow or engage in the practice shall be subject to formal discipline. Any discipline of teachers shall be in accordance with the Professional Negotiations Agreement (PNA). s. The racial balance of the student body of the Aerospace ' Magnet School shall bear a reasonable relationship to the raeial ) balance of the other high schools. It initially shall be sixty percent (60%) black and forty percent (40%) white, The racial balance goal of the faculty shall be in reverse ratio due to the acknowledged shortage of black staff members. The district is committed, however, through the Settlement Plans, to increasing black staff by aggressive recruitment and by financial support for teacher aides who commit to obtain college training while on the 5 rEB 81 ' '31 1-1: 26 P.7 job and a period of employment thereafter for the district. 6. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be operated and supported by the district in those ways which do not diminish the status, faculty or student bodies of the other high schools. 7, All students at the Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be privileged to participate in all school activities at all  times provided their school work is first addressed to the level o:f their respective capacities and is otherwise acceptable, By agreement and stipulation of the parties, Exhibit \"A\" is modified as follows: PAGI AMENDMENTS 'Paqe 19 (Substitute :first paragraph under caption \"HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION AND MAGNET SCHOOLS\") In 1986, the Federal District court approved an interdistrict plan of desegregation between the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County School Districts. That plan provided interdistrict re~edies of magnet schools and majority to minority transfers. The percentage of black students in North Little Rook is approximately forty-six (46) and in Pulaski County is approximately thirty (30) . Page at During the period of construction of the Aerospace Technology Magnet School, it will be sited at the Metropolitan Vocational School located near Interstate Highway Thirty (30) in southwest 6 P.8 Little Rock. Architectural Plans are being developed and it is hoped that the school will be opened in the tall ot 1992 or aeon thereafter. (As a footnote, the architeets who are working on these plans have conuni tted to make a biracial effort of their turther work on this project.) Paqe 23 SIBLING PREFERENCE There is and shall be no sibling preference for Magnet School assignment. Thus item i~ (6) on Page 23 is deleted. Page 27 Program Objective II (substituted) The District plan to open the Aerospace Technology Magnet School at Metropolitan High School on September, 1991, provided this grant application is timely approved, with the further expectancy that in September, 1992 or sooner thereafter the new school will be opened. Th racial balance of the school shall be a range of black students within tifty-five to sixty-five percent and a range of white students between thirty-five and forty-five percent. Those figures are comparable to the other senior high school enrollments. Page 2t (Last sentence on the page) Central High School has been successful in attracting white stuclents !rom the Pulaski County and North Little Rock School 7 FEB 01 '91 14 =27 Districts. Page 32 (Supplement) P.9 Other standardized tests confirm the above disparities in teat rsults between at least black and white students. The dietrict is committed to fully addressing and remedying these disparities. To this end outcome objectives shall be tormulated and implemented for students at all grade levels. In this way, students may be expected to have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace progra~. If those are not met, howevr, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. Paga 3f {substitute) The Aerospace Technology Program will require students to have a firm grasp of basic skills. Those skills will be effectively taught to all students so that they will meet the high aehool standards in the areas of Algebra, Physical Science and Earth Science. lJ The District will provide\\ peoial support to underachieving pupils in order that those students may be equally auoeeGstul in their classwork as the more advanced pupils. Paqa 52 {Nw paragraph 2) 8 F-EB 01 '91 14=28 P.10 Th planning process was not successful in including black citizens to the extent that it included white citizens as set out in paragraph one, supra. Nor did it include the LRSD Biracial Committee in the ~~oeess, These unintentional omissions will be corrected forthwith and will not be repeated. The lHracial Committee and Joshua shall be fully represented in the Magnet  School Planning Committee described in the next paragraph and shall , - otherwise be utilized to insure that this aehool meets its goals and expectations. Paqe 58 (a new last sentenee on the page) This summer program, which will be at school district expense, shall not be used to defer, delay or withhold ongoing remediation and supplemental assistance to achievement. This is intended to supplement the opportunities students have for maximizing their abilities within the school. Paqe 59 (supplementary language) A program of teacher developed incentives will be put into place to assist with the motivation of students at the Aerospace Magnet. Page 60 (supplementary language to paragraph two) 9 II I FEB 01 '91 1~=28 P. 11 Outreach programs will be provided tor all parents to inform them of the content of the aerospace program, opportunities for their students, and programmatic expectations tor students achievement. Special outreach efforts shall be made to parents of black and socio-economically deprived students to introduce these patrons to the program. ) I' __!i 7 0 (new last paragraph) The foregoing staft is disproportionately white. The district is sensitive to this tact and shall work to insure that it, too, will be fully desegregated and integrated. Page 77 (supplemental language to paragraph two) The theme and focus shall permeate the entire program. Even courses such as physical education and physiology shall include concepts t'rom math and science such as velocity, vectors, and kinesthetics. Page tl. (new first paragraph) student Education Plans (SEP I s) will be developed for all students. achievement. These SEP's will vary according to past student Appropriate intensive counseling will provide assistance and direction to students to insure that their 10 FEB 01 '91 1~ =29 P. 12 potentialities are developed to the fullest possible extent by virtue of their involvement in this program. Special efforts will be made to insure that black and socio-economically deprived students shall have no less opportunity for academic success than other students. Page 10, {last paragraph added) The District will work with the business community in general and specifically with the aerospace/aviation industry to insure summer jobs, part-time employment, mentorships, appranticeships, and employment after graduation for those students who seek it. Paqe 108 (addition regarding adjunct teachers) Adjunct staff will include mentors, role models, and guest speakers tor students. Seminars will also be held to allow students to interact with minority and female individuals who have careers in science, math, and fields related to the Aerospace Magnet program. Page 111 (addition to end of second paragraph) The figure $278 which is ineluded in the diseussion of Magnet program costs refers to the eventual east of Magnet component only and is to be considered in addition to the per pupil cost which the 11 FEB 01 '91 14 :30 P. 13 district expenda, which is $2,165 on average at non-magnet, nonineentive schools. Paqe 111 (supplement to paragraph one) Success shall further be determined by analysis of statistics related to: number of program graduates employed in Arkansas aviation indu$try by race and gender number of program graduates entering post-secondary education especially fields related to math, science, and aerospace teehnolo9y by race and gender decrease in dropout rate as compared to other high schools such that the number of black students in the graduating class will be equivalent to the percentage of black students enrolled in the program Paqa 119 (final paragraph) The avaluator(s) will work closely with the sehool staff and be both sensitive and responsive to inquiries raised by the Joshua Intervenors, the district and/or school biracial committee(s) and the Office of Oasegregation Monitor(ing). Page 1,, (new paragraph three) 12 FEB 01 '91 1~:30 P.14 There shall be a collaborative effort between the school district, Henderson State University and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluft. Arrangements will be  ought with these colleges for college eredit to be given for certain work completed at the Aerospace Magnet School and for the institutions to assist the _magnet graduates with educational career planning. The undersigned partie stipulate and agree that a modification ot the Little Rock Sehool District desegregation plan to include the Aerospace Technology Magnet School described in Exhibit \"A\" as modified above, subject to the contingencie described above, would largely complement their settlement plans and advance the voluntary desegregation efforts contemplated by those plans, although the parties understand that this program might have a negative impact upon the further desegregation ot Fuller Jr. High and Mills High School. It is therefore ordered that the Little Rock School District' desegregation pl~n is modified to include the Aerospace Technology Magnet School described in Exhibit \"A\", as modified by this Stipulation and Consent Order, subject to the following contingencies: l, The Little Rock School Oistrict must receive the Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant, for which Exhibit \"A\" ia its application, in a total amount ot Four Million Dollars ($4,0oo,ooo.oo) tor 1991-92 and 1993: and 2. The Arkansas Aviation Historical Society must contribute 13 FEB 01 ' 91 14=31 P. 15 at Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($ 4 1 500,000,00) as its share ot the construction costs of the Aerospace Education Center which will house both the Aerospace Technology Magnet School and the Aerospace Museum.

The racial balance of the student body cf Magnet School shall bear a reasonable relationship to th racial balance of the ether high schools. It initially shall be sixty percent (60%) black and forty percent (40%) white. The racial balance goal of the faculty shall be in reverse ratio due to the acknowledged shortage cf black staff members. The district is committed, however, through the Settlement Plans, to increasing black staff oy aggressive recruitment and by financial support for teacher aides who commit to ootain college training while on the 5 FEB 01 '91 1~ :25 P .6 for evaluation purposas. 2. The school shall employ a sufficient number ct teacher assistants to insure that the serious teaching and learning objectiVQS of the Aerospace Magnet School shall be achieved. 3. It is expected that all pupils who enroll in this school shall be promoted each year and graduate from high school on time  and with appropriata educational credentials fo:r further study ... - and/or entry into college type programs. Th only possible exceptions to this expectation are those pupils who, by objective standards, considered after sufficient time has expired fer th $EP 1 s to \\tlork, demonstrate that they do not . have either the capacity or interest for the required school work. PAGE AMENQMENTS 'Page 19 ( Substitute ! irst paragraph under caption \"HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION AND MAGNET SCHOOLS\") In 1986, the Fedaral District court approved an interdistrict plan of d8sagregation betWQGn the Little Rook, North Little Rock and Fulaski County School Districts. That plan provided interdistrict remedies o! magnQt schools and majority to minority tr~nsfera, The percentage of black students in North Little Rock is approximately forty-six (46) and in Pulaski County is appro~imataly thirty (30). Page 32 (Supplement) Other standardizgd tests confirm the above disparities in test results between at least black and whit students. The district is  committad to fully addres~ing and remedying these disparities. To this end outcome objectives shall be tormulated and implemented for students at all grade levels. In this way, students may be expected to~have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace program, If those are not met, however, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. i 11 The Little Rock Airport commission and the following private aerospace technical business enterprises hereby make the following commitments to the Court with the further representation that the commitments shall become, with elaboration, contractual Commitments between these parties and the school district to which affected pupils become third party beneficiaries. A. Companies 1. Central Flying service 2. Falcon Jet Corporation 3 . Arkansas Modification Center 4 . Midcoast Aviation 5. Air Transport International 6. Little Rock Regional Airport B. General Commitment (see statement attached to this paga) 3 FEB 01 '91 1~=25 P.5 The Court shall be provided affidavits of support, with the promised elaboration set out above, not later than February 19, 1991. These elaborations will commit to (a) specific employment, hiring and promotion commi trnents for each of the employers and affect all future employment opportunities\n(b) summer training and employment opportunities for the black pupils who will attend the -Aerospace Magnet Technology School\n(c) year round mentoring and , - support programs for black pupils at the school\n(d) preferential consideration upon graduation for training or apprenticeship programs and employment within these enterprises\n(e) creation of racially inclusive, nondiscriminatory work environments\nand (f) broad based racial and gender representation on appropriate advisory and governing boards of each ot the business enterprises. These commitmnts will be permanent and binding upon these employers or enterprises as well as their successors. EOUCATION~L INITIATIVES 1. Student Education Plans (SEP's) shall be developed for each pupil who elects to attend the Aerospace Technology Magnet School. The plans shall be developed and then implemented in such a way as to insure that all pupils therein shall be \"mainstreamed\" into regular classes. If additional, out of class work is required in order to promot remediation to pupils to meet classroom work, the district shall offer it as needed at district expense either after school or on Saturdays. A principal objective of the S'EP 1s is to allow the progress of each pupil to be measured periodically. It will also assist in determining individual teacher performance 4 FEB 01 ' 91 l J: 26 P.7 job and a period of employment thereafter for the district. 6. The Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be operated and supported by the district in those ways which do not diminish the status, faculty or student bodies of the other high schools. 7, All students at the Aerospace Technology Magnet School shall be privileged to participate in all school activities at all  times provided their school work is !irst addressed to the level ot their respective capacities and is otherwise acceptable, By agreement and stipulation of the parties, Exhibit A\" is modified as follows: PAGJ AMENDMENTS 'Paga 1, (Substitute first parag:-aph under caption \"HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION AND MAGNET SCHOOLS 11 ) In 1986, the Federal District Court approved an interdistrict plan of desegregation between the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County School Districts. That plan provided interdistrict remedies o! magnet schools and majority to minority transfers, The percentage ot black students in North Little Rock is approximately forty-six (46) and in Pulaski County is appro~imately thirty (30). Page 20 During the period of construction o! the Aerospace Technology Magnet School, it will be sited at the Metropolitan Vocational School located near Interstate Highway Thirty (30) in Southwest 6 P.8 Little Rock. Architectural Plans are being developed and it is hoped that the school will be opened in the tall ot 1992 or soon thereafter. (As a footnote, the architects who are working on these plans have committed to make a biraeial effort of their turther work on this project.) Paqe 23 SIBLING PREFERENCE There is and shall be no sibling preference for Magnet School assignment. Thus item six (6) on Page 23 is deleted, Page 27 Program Objective II (substituted) The Oistrict plan to open the Aerospace Technology Magnet School a~ Metropolitan High School on September, 1991, provided this grant application is timely approved, with the further expectancy that in September, 1992 or sooner thereafter the new school will be opened. The racial balance of the school shall be a range of black students within fifty-five to sixty-five percent and a range of white students between thirty-five and forty-five percent. Those figures are comparable to the other senior high school enrollments, Page 29 (Last sentence on th page) Central High School has been successful in attraeting white students !rom the Pulaski County and North Little Rock School 7 FEB 01 ''31 1_.:27 Districts.

In this way, students may be expected to have their remedial and other learning needs met prior to the 9th and 10th grade transition into the Aerospace program. If those are not met, however, the Aerospace Magnet programs will be designed and implemented in a way to accomplish that objective. Page 31 (substitute) The Aerospace Technology Program will require students to have a firm grasp of basic skills. Those kills will be effectively taught to all students so that they will meet the high aehool standards in the areas of Algebra, Physical Scienee and Earth Science. The District will provide special support to underachieving pupils in order that those students may be equally successful in their classwork as the more advanced pupils. Paqe 52 (NQW paragraph 2) 8 i : , FEE 01 '91 lJ :28 P. 10 Th planning process was not successful in including black citizens to the extent that it included white citizens as set out in paragraph one, supra.

The Biracial Committee and Joshua shall be fully represented in the Magnet School Planning Committee 'described in the next paragraph and shall ~- otherwise be utilized to insure that this school meets its goals and expectations. Paga SI (a new last sentence on the page) This summer program, which will be at school district expense, shall not be used to defer, delay or withhold ongoing remediation and supplemental assistance to achievement, This is intended to supplement the opportunities students have for maximizing their abilities within the school, Page 59 (supplementary language) A program of teacher developed incentives will be put into place to assist with the motivation ot students at the Aerospace Magnet. Page 60 (supplementary language to paragraph two) 9 P.11 Outreach programs will be provided tor all parents to inform them of the content of the aerospace program, opportunities for their students, and prograltll'llatic expectations tor students' achievement. Special outreach efforts shall be made to parents of black and socio-eeonomieally deprived students to introduce these patrons to the program. Page 10 (new last paragraph) The foregoing staft is disproportionately white, The district is sensitive to this tact and shall work to insure that it, too, will be fully desegrgated and integrated, Page 77 (supplemental language to paragraph two) The theme and focus shall permeate the entire program. Even courses such as physical education and physiology shall include concepts !rom math and science such as velocity, vectors, and kinesthetics. Page tl (new first paragraph) student Education Plans (SEP I s) will be developed for all students. These SEP' s will vary according to achievement. Appropriate intensive counseling assistance and direction to students to insure 10 past student will provide that their FEB Gl '91 !J:29 P.12 potentialities are developed to the fullest possible extent by virtue of their involvement in this program.

James Rodgers, Hanager Little Rock Municipal Airport #1 Airport Drive Little Rock, AR 72202 Dear Hr. Rodgers: As you know, the Tri-District Desegregation Plan submitted by Metropolitan Supervisor Eugene T. Reville calls for an interdistrict Aerospace/Technology and Pre-Engineering Hagnet School. The implementation schedule for the Plan states that this magnet school will be opened at the beginning of the 1991-92 school year . Three members of my Senior Management Team and I met with members of the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society in January for a presentation of an overview of the planning and development progress of the proposed aviation museum. We recognize the many benefits that would result from a collaborative effort to locate the Aerospace/Technology and Pre-Engineering Hagnet School on the same site as the Arkansas Huseum of Aviation History. It is also agreed that maximum potential for educational opportunities could be gained by having this joint venture located at the Little Rock Airport. So that we might proceed with discussions and planning, I respectfully request that the Airport Commission designate certain sites on the Airport property to be used for the Museum/Magnet School. According to Arkansas Department of Education guidelines, approximately 20 to 30 acres is the recommended land size for the secondary school site. I realize that land space is at a premium, and that it will be difficult to allocate that much land for the proposed Museum/Magnet School. Thus, the planning committee will emphasize the use of shared facilities (such as libraries, parking areas, and display areas) to optimize space utilization. Long-range projections indicate that the secondary school (grades 7-12) under consideration may eventually accommodate up to 900 students. We are in the process of forming a Little Rock School District Committee to continue discussions on the feasibility and plans for a Huseum/Hagnet School. I believe it would be beneficial to this process if a member of the 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock. Arkansas 72201  (501).374-.3.361 . I Airport Commission - and possibly a member of your staff - could serve on this committee. Accordingly, I request that you select such person(s) and advise me of your choices so that we might proceed as recommended by Hr. Reville. I look forward to working with you and the Airport Commission as we continue in our efforts to implement a successful desegregation plan for the school districts in Pulaski County.

James Rodgers, Manager Little Rock Municipal Airport #1 Airport Drive Little Rock, AR 72202 Dear Hr. Rodgers: As you know, the Tri-District Desegregation Plan submitted by Metropolitan Supervisor Eugene T. Reville calls for an interdistrict Aerospace/Technology and Pre-Engineering Magnet School. The implementation schedule for the Plan states that this magnet school will be opened at the beginning of the 1991-92 school year. Three members of my Senior Management Team and I met with members of the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society in January for a presentation of an overview of the planning and development progress of the proposed aviation museum. We recognize the many benefits that would result from a collaborative effort to locate the Aerospace/Technology and Pre-Engineering Magnet School on the same site as the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History. It is also agreed that maximum potential for educational opportunities could be gained by having this joint venture located at the Little Rock Airport. So that we might proceed with discussions and planning, I respectfully request that the Airport Commission designate certain sites on the Airport property to be used for the Museum/Magnet School. According to Arkansas Department of Education guidelines, approximately 20 to 30 acres is the recommended land size for the secondary school site. I realize that land space is at a premium, and that it will be difficult to allocate that much land for the proposed Museum/Magnet School. Thus, the planning committee will emphasize the use of shared facilities (such as libraries, parking areas, and display areas) to optimize space utilization. Long-range projections indicate that the secondary school (grades 7-12) under consideration may eventually accommodate up to 900 students. We are in the process of forming a Little Rock School District Committee to continue discussions on the feasibility and plans for a Huseum/Hagnet School. I believe it would be beneficial to this process if a member of the 810 West Markham Street  Little Rock. Arkansas 72201  (501)374-3361 Airport Commission - and possibly a member of your staff - could serve on this committee. Accordingly, I request that you select such person(s) and advise me of . your choices so that we might proceed as recommended by Hr. Reville. I look forward to working with you and the Airport Commission as we continue in our efforts to implement a successful desegregation plan for the school districts in Pulaski County. RSS:nr cc: Hs. Sharon Priest Sincerely, Ruth S. Steele Superintendent u ?, ,. ___ IY77 ( WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, R E S O L U T I O N the Little Rock School District acknowledges that it is important for public educational institutions to join in partnerships with local industries to improve the educational opportunities for our youth. The beneficiaries of these partnerships are not only the students themselves, but our community as a whole\nand the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society and executives of major Arkansas aviation industries have offered their support to the proposal that an aerospace high school be built in conjunction with the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History planned for the Little Rock Regional Airport\nand such a high school would increase students' awareness of opportunities for careers in aerospace and other high technology fields, while providing the educational base in math and science that would make it possible for them to pursue these careers\nand an aerospace high school, located on the east side of the city, would offer unprecedented opportunities for minority students, who are greatly underrepresented in the aerospace industry as a whole, to not only have an adequate educational background for an aerospace career, but early exposure to the career opportunities which can be available to them. THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT, THAT: 1. The Little Rock School District continue the planning process for implementation, constructing and staffing an aerospace high school in conjunction with the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History at Adams Field. 2. The core curriculum of the aerospace high school will be developed to interface with the specialized aerospace curriculum. 3. The timetable for planning the aerospace high school should reflect the goal of opening the school for the 1992-1993 school year. 4. The Board acknowledges that this planning process must continue, and could be subject to final adjudication of all desegregation issues pending before the Federal courts. .. :  - ' V \n,_ :.  . r . -... ... .-. .. .. .,.... . -.,. . .

BOX 3511 unt.E ROCK, ARKANSAS 72203 (5()1) 3~3245 RE: Summary of issues concerning the Aerospace Magnet School and its relation to the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History. The following is provided to assist you in keeping up to date on the ideas, plans and issues which have been under consideration over the past several months concerning the concept of the Aerospace Magnet School being in conjunction with the Aviation Museum. We consider the timing of this opportunity to be most fortunate for both the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society and our school system. This Public/Private partnership will be a striking example of the progress made in education in our community, and will serve as an example of how the resources of private organizations and of individual industries can be utilized in enhancing the quality of life for our community through increased opportunities for young persons. The statements herein do not mean to imply that the Aviation Museum Planning Committee has made any final determinations on the issues under consideration. However, we have spent a considerable amount of time working toward this end, and wished to share this information with you. It is our hope that the work we have been able to accomplish to date will assist in expediting the construction and implementation of the School/Museum so that we may meet the goal of completion by the 1991- 92 school year. Sim Presuming that the facility will be located on property owned by the City of Little Rock and administered by the Little Rock Airport Commission, we will work with the Commission to locate a site suitable to both the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society and the Little Rock School District. Ownership of Facility Ownership of the Museum portions of the building will be by the Society, and the school portion will be by the School District. Common areas, such as library, auditorium, and laboratory facilities, will be primarily utilized by students, and will be owned by the School District. Other common areas, such as the atrium, will be a part of the Museum, but available for school functions in coordination with activities of both entities. Architectural Plan of Museum/School The AAHS has retained Mr. Tim Heiple, AIA, of Nathaniel Curtis-Riddick-Heiple to design the Museum. Enclosed is a rendering of the facility he has envisioned. Obviously, this proposed plan was made prior to Mr. Reville's proposal that the school serve grades 7 through 12. Final plans will require planning for both the various grades, curriculum and site location. In order to provide for efficiency of both functions, it will be necessary that all architects and engineers involved with the project closely coordinate their work. Project Costs The AAHS has established a goal of $4.5 million to construct and furnish the museum. This figure would include the $1.5 million challenge grant provided for in Act 716 of 1989, which was placed in Category \"B\" in the Revenue Stabilization Act. Our plan is to request from the Governor release of funds for the project when we have raised the $1.5 million match in private funds. If funding is not readily available, we will request that the appropriation be passed again in 1991, and placed in Category \"A\" so that the grant can be disbursed on or after July 1, 1991. The AAHS has retained Catherine Johnson and Associates of Little Rock as fundraising counsel on this project. Mrs. Johnson has worked with the Museum Planning Committee for several months, and we have every confidence in her ability to devise a successful plan to meet our project goals. Museum Fundin~ Plan The capital campaign of the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History, will conduct an aggressive, b_!oad base funding effort. The sources of support have been defined by the leadership chart which include national corporations, aviation industries, Arkansas businesses, corporations, philanthropic leaders, and foundations. Additionally the aviation organizations in the state, which include the Arkansas Pilot Association, the Aero Club, 99er's, Confederate Air Force, and others, consist of membership in the thousands, which will provide the museum support at the grass roots level. The planning committee is currently finalizing the recruitment of the most viable committed leadership to raise the $3 million needed to complete the museum facility and exhibits. Earlier work has begun in the foundation area of the campaign. Once the site has been determined the campaign will proceed with the solicitation of prospective contributors, both in Arkansas and nationally. It has been determined that 12 to 18 months will be required to complete the capital effort. Operational Support It has been determined that approximate $500,000 annually will be needed to operate the Arkansas Museum of Aviation History. One fortunate aspect of the museum is that it will open with a support group in place. The Arkansas Aviation Historical Society, has over 300 members state wide, that have sponsored annually the Arkansas Aviation Hall of Fame banquet, and other fundraising activities. An annual development plan will be implemented upon the dedication of the museum. This will include an Aviators's Club, memberships, lectures by and receptions honoring persons significant to aviation, air shows, aviation auctions, and other fundraising activities. The earned income of admissions and gift shop sales will provide the balance of annual support needed. Discussions has been included in the capital campaign to provide for a permanent endowment that will be utilized for maintenance and operation of the museum. This endowment will also be included in long range funding activities, such as planned giving, which includes estates, trusts, and insurance beneficiaries. Campaign Leadership At this time, the Museum Planning Committee has begun recruitment of key leadership to assist on the campaign. Several of the persons who have already agreed to assist us are: J.

Identifiable Benefits to Students of Museum/School Partnership We feel that this partnership offers a winning situation for all parties involved. The opportunity Tor students to interact with various facets of the aviation industry, while gaining superior skills in science and math, will serve our entire community. The seeds of a better life for these students - and our entire community - will be planted here. Minorities, which will comprise at least half of the student body, will have opportunities for jobs in high technology fields which have been difficult for them to attain in the past. Certainly, we in the aviation industry are especially mindful of the need for qualified, skilled persons as we see the advances in our field. The best way to provide for the human resources which will keep Arkansas' aviation industry competitive in the next century is to make the investment of our time and resources now. We envision particular school curricula sponsored by specific companies or by industry groups. Special lectures and guest instructors will enhance the curriculum, and the school should have many chances for industry representatives to offer resources that will more vividly illustrate the course of study. The opportunities for field trips to interesting locations, including some out of state, will be tremendous. Vocational opportunities for part-time and summer employment of the high school age students can manifest in permanent jobs in the future. While many young people will see their paths leading toward higher education, the curriculum will not be limited to the college bound student. Vocational training will prepare other students for careers in aircraft maintenance, avionics, electronics, and other technical fields. Mutual benefits will accrue when students are involved in restoration of historical aircraft for display in the Museum. Through their study of these historic plane, students can understand the thought processes of the aeronautical pioneers of yesteryear, beginning with the Wright Brothers, following their logic as they solved the engineering problems that made powered flight a reality. Obviously, world history, American history, and Arkansas history can come alive when augmented by the resources of the Museum. Studying World War I, for example, will have added significance as students learn about the exploits of Captain Field E. Kindley, a flying ace from Gravette, Arkansas. ... Benefits to the Greater Little Rock Community As A Whole The final consideration to the success of this partnership is the effect on our community as a whole. For over thirty years, Little Rock has sought to escape the stigma of 19_?7. We feel that positive attention to local efforts - especially those of the private sector - to solve our own problems will create a new image of our community. We envision this facility as the symbol of Little Rock's commitment to end this crisis and provide quality education for all our children - education with real opportunities in real jobs for the future. Citizens of Pulaski County, and indeed the entire State of Arkansas, will be able to take special pride in this unique partnership. The museum will provide a beacon for those interested in history and aviation to learn more about the people from our state who contributed so much to this vital industry and to the defense of our nation. These great men and women are excellent role models for our youth, and their courage and determination to succeed against many obstacles will provide examples which can inspire disadvantaged youth to start believing that they can reach their dreams. Aviation is largest employer in Pulaski County. It is especially fitting that our industry lead the way for participation by other private sector groups in \"Partnership Schools\" such as proposed herein. This project will create a living partnership for economic growth, which can blossom into an economic base to serve our region well into the next century. It is not enough that aviation is the largest employer in our area. We must build upon this foundation so that Pulaski County will be an aerospace equivalent of the Silicon Valley or the Research Triangle. We look forward to working you on implementation of this project . Little Rock School District June 13, 1990 Ms. Catherine Johnson and Associates Aerospace Educational Center 425 West Capitol - Suite 3280 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Ms. Johnson: The Little Rock School District is pleased fo have the cooperation and assistance of the Arkansas Aviation Historical Society in planning and developing the Aerospace/ Technology and Pre-Engineering Magnet School as a part of the Tri-District Desegregation Plan. We welcome the opportunity to create an Aerospace Education Center, combining the school and proposed aviation museum into a unique learning opportunity for Little Rock students. The Center will provide an excellent educational program for high schoo 1 students, preparing graduates to qua 1 i fy for jobs in the growing aerospace industry in central Arkansas. It will also create a striking first impression of our city and serve as a tool for industrial recruitment and economic growth. We look forward to continuing our work with you. /bjf Sincerely, ~k~ Ruth S.

Walter J. Boyne, to visit the National Air and Space Museum. During that visit, I met with the exhibit curator and other personnel concerning the operations, development, and fundraising program for the museum. Phil Woodruff, Director of Education for the FAA, who you met with in Little Rock, has proposed that he and the people listed below either visit Little Rock for a day long seminar or that Mr. Woodruff would coordinate an itinerary for you in Washington, D.C.

He also suggested Dr. Strickler (bio attached) may be a source to assist with the curriculum development plan. October 12, 1989 Mr. Eugene Reville Metropolitan Supervisor 201 East Markham, Suite 510 Heritage West Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Mr. Reville: S KIP R UTHERFORD LITTLE ROCK While I have studied the student assignment issue at length and spent a great deal of time researching it, I remain terribly disappointed that the Federal Courts rejected the original student assignment proposal which had been agreed to by all parties and which had widespread community support. This joint proposal was truly a moment in time which united all three districts and all the parties in the lawsuit. I sincerely hope you can recapture that same spirit. I Along that line, I would propose you set up joint meetings on a regular on-going basis with the school board presidents so our respective boards are informed and our lines of communications are open. You have asked us for suggestions. While my suggestions to you reward integrated neighborhoods with neighborhood schools and encourage voluntary movement through expanded choices, I want to make it clear these proposals don't anywhere resemble controlled choice. There is no comparison between choice and controlled choice. Ed Kelly's controlled choice plan (which was also implemented backwards) devastated both our city and our school district at a time when white flight at the elementary level had virtually been halted and a millage had been passed. Now, this long-term student assignment plan is the \"make or break\" issue for the Little Rock district. Whatever you do and whatever you recommend to Judge Woods, please don't pull an Ed Kelly on us. Some of the suggestions I am making are general\nothers, specific\nsome could be implemented next fall, others lon~-term. They are submitted contingent on capacity as well as financial and programmmg limitations. 1. County-wide 2.0 grade average both for graduation and for extra-curricular participation. All three districts should have the same standards, and a \"C\" average should be required for graduation. We should begin to elevate expectations if we hope to successfully desegregate our schools. Mr. Eugene Reville October 12, 1989 Page Two 2. Continuation of attendance zones and feeder schools. The attendance zone concept, in my opinion, has been the key factor in the increased white enrollment at the kindergarten level this year. 3. Change high schools to grade 9 to 12. 4. Enhance Central High School emphasizing school-within-school specialty curriculum programs (i.e., gifted and talented, international studies, economics and finance, language arts, science and others as appropriate). Central would be guaranteed a 50-50 black-white ratio both building-level and class-level. The Central High administration and faculty would recommend school-within-school specialty programs to you. Central is a National Governor Association Model School and is also an important city, state, national and international symbol. Because of its history, size and location in the central city, it requires and deserves special attention. Any student in Pulaski County could apply to attend Central and enroll in the general or one of its specialty curriculums. Under this plan, the Little Rock District would not have to constantly readjust attendance zone boundaries. Th~se readjustments are disruptive and diVIsive. The Central High administration, faculty, PT A and student body would be encouraged to actively \"recruit\" students from all attendance zones in the city and from the other two districts. All three districts should financially assist Central in developing its specialty schools, its recruiting activities, as well as implementing additional secunty measures needed for desegregation. Also, special discretionary federal funding should be explored. 5. As soon as possible, establish a performing arts school at the Arkansas Arts Center where auditoriums, studios and exhibition areas are already in place. Private and endowment funding should be sought to assist in classroom expansion. Auditions would be required for entry into this school of choice. 6. Construct a new inter-district school (preferably 9-12) at the airpon in cooperation with the planned Arkansas Aviation Museum. This school of choice would specialize in math, pre-engineerin~ and high technology and work closely with the state 's aviation industry. In COnJunction with the museum and in rartnership with both the commercial and private aviation industries, this schoo has great educational, economic development and tourism potential. It would have a 50-50 black-white ratio both building-level and class-level. 7. Establish a county-wide Montessori public school, pre-K through 8, at Rockefeller School. 50-50 black-white ratio at building and class levels. All three districts would assist in the start-up costs of the school. Mr. Eugene Reville October 12, 1989 Page Three 8. Open the Little Rock Traditional School, a pre-K through 8 inter-district school at a site most advantageous for desegregation. This would be a school of choice where uniforms or dress codes, PT A attendance and parental participation would be mandatory. Strict discipline requirements, (i.e. students standing up when principals, teachers and guests enter the room, would be enforced. 50-50 black-white rat10 at both building and class levels. Costs for this school should be minimal. 9. Phase out traditional junior high schools grades 7 through 9. I personally don't believe there is substantive educational justification for a 7th through 9th grade grouping other than age proximity and because that's the way we've always done it. I propose converting as many as P.ossible of these junior high buildings to pre-kindergarten through grade 8 facilities or if necessary use one or some for a high school to meet current 9-12 capacity. On sites where there are currently both elementary and junior high schools a pre-K through 8 complex could be used. There are many advantages to having 9 consecutive years as well as concentrated resources in one school or complex. Parental participauon is certainly a major one. 10. By converting to pre-K through 8, at the non-magnet schools, it could mean some chan$es in some of our magnet schools. These should be carefully analyzed and individually reviewed before any recommendations are made. , If any of the current elementary magnet programs are expanded to pre-K through 8 and are moved to larger buildings so more students can voluntarily take advantage of them, any additional seats associated with the larger capacity could be inter-district (non-state funded) with m tom transfers encouraged. 11. The new Stephens School should be built at the Little Rock Zoo. Here students can also take advantage of the entire War Memorial area. The zoo is centrally located, easily accessible, and offers exciting educational opportunities. 12. Integrated neighborhoods should be rewarded with pre-K through grade 8 neighborhood schools. This may be more easily accomplished at some of the proposed sites which are now junior highs. It also may mean the closing of some buildings which: a. are too close together b. can't realistically be desegregated c. are too costly to expand d. are in very poor physical condition I realize it is never easy to suggest closing schools, but under a larger neighborhood school concept a student could have only one move from a neighborhood elementary (pre-K through grade 8) to a high school (grades 9 to 12). For many Little Rock residents, that would be long-term stability and predictability. 13. Consider a school of choice pre-K throu~ grade 12, in one setting. This has been suggested by Pat Price, Otter Creek principal. If it is a new location, the UALR campus would be ideal. What better place than on a University campus where there are challenging educational opporturuties for all ages. The school itself would be a laboratory for UALR student teachers. Little Rock School District October 3, 1991 Ms. Cathy Johnson Catherine Johnson and Associates 424 West Capitol, Suite 3280 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Cathy: In discussing the October 2 planning meeting with Tony, he mentioned a Summer, 1992 groundbreaking date for the school and museum. Could you clarify for me the origin of that date since I have not been present in any discussion that I know of where such a time frame has been established? We very much want this school and museum to be built and operated. However, it is my very strong belief that we must know where operating funds will come from before we build the school. Our position all along has been that we cannot build or operate the school unless we receive additional funding in the amount of $4 million. That language is also included in the court order. At this point we do not have the money for operations and no sure guarantee of where it will come from. I am certain, however, that we will not have $4 million from our regular operating budget by 1993-94 tn r.om,-r.::.t to the school. Please let me know your thoughts on this issue as soon as possible.

Steele Superintendent of Schools Little Rock School District 810 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Ruth: Cathy has forwarded your letter of October 3 to me for reply. I appreciate your forthrightness not only in framing your questions but also in framing your views. You will recall the Magnet School Assistance Grant referred to a fall 1992 opening date. When it became apparent that the announcement of the grant results would not be timely for an opening in the fall of 1992 even if the announcement contained good news for us, it became obvious the fall of 1993 would be the earliest possible opening date. I thought, rightly or wrongly, that that was a reasonable assumption and goal. Further, it seemed to be corroborated by the inclusion of the$ 6 million in construction funds in the District's FY 1993 budget. Recently I have been persuaded that construction of the facility will more likely take eighteen months rather than twelve months. The earliest opening, therefore, would be the fall of 1994. Construction, accordingly, would have to commence not later than January 1993. I agree wholeheartedly with you that we must know from where the operating funds will come before construction can begin. I believe, however, that a target date is necessary not only to !ocua the planning process but also to avoid the appearance of uncertainty during the fund raising process. May I suggest that we agree that opening the facility in the fall of 1994 is a reasonable goal and should constitute a target with which we both shall endeavor to attain? We all realize the difficulties you and your staff face in trying to find additional monies to operate this school. It is not easy. Collectively, our admiration for your efforts to provide a quality educational system for our community grows daily. We are trying to find funds for you. Our efforts have been just as diligent in trying to find sources o! monies for the school as they have been to !ind sources for the museum. Because of recent successes, i.e., the FAA and the City, I am more confident than ever that we will succeed. Concerning your comment about needing an additional$ 4 million before we can build or operate the school, I am a little confused. My confusion stems from whether or not this number is derived from the grant application and applies to equipment primarily or whether or not it includes annual operating expenses, or some combination of both. May I Giit-JTRAL FLYING SERVICE . I TEL: 50 1-375 - 7274 Oct 07,91 8 : 12 No .003 P. 03 suggest that we talk about this item further before I commit my thoughts to paper? I have suggested on several occasions that members of our committee stand ready anytime to assist you and your staff in trying to determine exactly how many additional monies would be required to equip the school and operate it. I believe we must know the magnitude of the problem before we can address it. Furthermore, I sincerely believe we can be helpful in trying to find funds from within the existing budget. In many respects in the final analysis, that kind of collaboration between business and the public school system is what this project is all about. I hope this has been responsive to your letter. Call me so that we can talk further about it. Until then, I am Sincerely, .0,.: ... ll C.AN .su..u \u0026lt;....\u0026gt; i A ~~\\.~l - Richard N.

Steele Superintendent Little Rock School District 500 West Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Dr. Steele: December 13, 1991 Since we have been unable to meet because of circumstances beyond anyone's control, I thought it useful to express to you in a letter some concepts and ideas which might enable all of us to move forward with our project with confidence. I still hope to meet with you for a more detailed discussion since the level of confidence and consensus which we seek cannot be accomplished otherwise. First, I want to assure you that we do not want funding for the magnet school to be a burden or drain on resources or funding for other necessary school district programs. We have found in the course of raising money for the museum that there are significant resources which could be captured to meet the operating needs of the magnet school district in the effort. We learned from talking with U.S. Department of Education authorities during the magnet school conference that without a comprehensive plan grant applications stand little chance of success. Further, this planning process properly conceived and executed takes as much as one year. We also learned that the Long Beach Aviation Magnet School has been able to capture 15 million dollars in federal grants for their program. The person responsible for obtaining those grants has offered to assist in our efforts. We have a number of ideas about how our partnership can move forward without placing the district in a position of committing to a plan which it cannot achieve or jeopardize resources which are needed elsewhere. In fact, it is entirely possible that during our planning process funding sources can be identified which will help the district resolve some of the difficult problems which it faces having nothing to do with our project. Representatives from the aviation magnet schools in attendance at the recent convention were amazed that we in Little Rock had as much community involvement and support together with an ideal location for the complex. Most of the other programs were stimulated internally by motivated members of staff or had only limited community and industrial involvement. Working in partnership this project can be a shot in the arm for our community and set a standard of achievement which many others will envy. Dr. Ruth S. Steele December 13, I 99 I Page Two As you know, on October 28th, President Bush signed a bill giving the Federal Aviation Administration authority to issue grants in support of projects at the secondary level. Congressman Thornton and Senator Bumpers were instrumental in furthering this legislation. The FAA is expecting us to request a grant. We should begin discussions and planning immediately. As we complete the planning process, and move toward the next exciting phase of the Center's development, we pledge our vigilant efforts to seek and secure continued outside support for both the school and museum components.

Jackson KPMG Peat Marwick 323 Center Street, Suite 1100 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Dorsey: December 16, 1991 Thank you for taking time to meet with Marion Burton, Cathy Johnson, Ed Riddick and me last week. We appreciate having your positive, businesslike presence on our School Board. As a new member of the Board, we want to bring you fully up to date on the commitments made over the past two years as this historic partnership has developed. Most projects as ambitious as the Aerospace Education Center will always require an evolution to reach its full potential, and ours is no exception. Our partnership began as an initiative from the late Eugene Reville, who had firsthand experience in creating a less-ambitious aviation school in Buffalo. After Gene's untimely death, we worked with the Board to develop a program which would be acceptable to all parties to the desegregation lawsuit, since any new schools would require the approval of all. This has, to date, been accomplished by actions of the North Little Rock and Pulaski County Boards, as well as Mr. John Walker, Attorney for the Joshua Intervenors. Being new partners with the School District, we in the aviation community were called upon to work diligently in behalf of the 1990 millage increase. We were happy to respond, since the $6 million capital expense of the Aerospace Technology Magnet High School was to be part of the projected improvements if the millage was approved by the voters. (See enclosed Arkansas Democrat article of April 12, 1990) Following the successful passage of the millage increase, our Development Counsel, Cathy Johnson, received the enclosed letter from Dr. Steele, expressing her support, and that of the District, to our partnership. Also enclosed is a Resolution adopted in August of 1990 which expresses the Board's intent to continue to develop the facility and curriculum for the Aerospace School. As you can see, this has not been a one-sided partnership, but rather has reflected the continuous support of the School Board throughout its incubation. The tragic losses of Gene Reville and Dr. Herb Cleek have, in my opinion, caused many problems in the timely development of this school. However, we have never doubted that these problems would be overcome. ... . '. ..,... .. . ., ... Mr. Dorsey W. Jackson December 16, 1991 Page Two Dorsey, I believe that the August, 1990 Resolution by the Little Rock School Board clearly mandates the planning process of the Aerospace Technology Magnet High School. It seems to me that the board has made the commitment necessary to accelerate the staff work required for curriculum development and procurement of U.S. Department of Education grants. After you review the enclosed material please call me at your convenience. Sincerely, Richard N.
