ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve the 2017/2018 Elementary and Secondary School Plans for Student Achievement?
BACKGROUND:
School Plans are aligned with District Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and school goals for improving student achievement. School site goals are based upon an analysis of verifiable state data that includes the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), Adequate Yearly Progress, California English Language Development Test (CELDT) and local measures of pupil achievement. The California Department of Education (CDE) is transitioning from the CELDT to the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), which is comprised of two separate English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessments; one for the initial identification of students as English Learners (ELs) and a second for the annual summative assessment to measure a student’s progress in learning English and to identify the student’s level of ELP. Students will test in March.
School Site Councils analyze academic performance data of all students, including English learners, educationally disadvantaged students, gifted and talented students, and students with exceptional needs. The Site Councils also obtain and consider the input of their school communities.
School Plans must also include budgets that are discussed and approved by School Site Councils and English Language Advisory Councils as appropriate. The completed plans and budgets were submitted in December for review and approved by the Directors of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Approved plans will be posted on each school’s website for public review.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the 2017/2018 Elementary and Secondary School Plans for Student Achievement, as submitted.
