ISSUE:

Should the Board of Education approve a resolution in support of the U.S. Census 2020?

INFORMATION:

The mission of the Census Bureau is to serve as the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy.  The 2020 census will provide the basis for reapportioning Congressional seats, redistricting and distributing billions of dollars in federal funding to support the state, county, and community programs.  Due to the diversity of communities, the size of the state, the fiscal environment, and the changing use of technology, the U.S. Census Bureau faces great challenges in collecting complete and accurate information for California's population. 

The Conejo Valley Unified School District recognizes the importance of the 2020 U.S. Census and supports helping to ensure a complete, fair, and accurate count of all Californians.

ISSUE:

Should the Board of Education approve these new middle school (6-8) and high school (9-12) core literature titles for English Language Arts instruction?

INFORMATION:

The Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) implements the selection and adoption of instructional materials in accordance with Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 6161.1. CVUSD considers the California Department of Education’s Recommended Literature List. However, the California Department of Education notes "The Recommended Literature List is intended as a tool to assist districts as they select literature, but the list only recommends titles. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the district to select literature according to the selection policies that are in place.”

CVUSD English teachers reviewed these proposed titles. The CVUSD English/Language Arts Articulation Committee has given considerable thought to the merit of the titles placed on the core literature list. This discussion and review also takes place in the Secondary Curriculum Advisory Council (SCAC) meeting. The titles listed below were chosen to move forward for Board approval. These novels will support and strengthen the core curriculum and broaden students’ knowledge and skills.

SYNOPSIS:

Forget Me Not:

Astronomy-loving Calliope June has Tourette syndrome, so she sometimes makes faces or noises that she doesn't mean to make. When she and her mother move yet again, she tries to hide her Tourette syndrome, but it isn't long before the kids at her new school realize she's different. Only Calliope's neighbor, who is also the popular student body president, sees her as she truly is--an interesting person and a good friend. But is he brave enough to take their friendship public?

As Calliope navigates school, she must also face her mother's new relationship and the fact that they might be moving--again--just as she starts to make friends and finally accept her differences.

Just Mercy:

This story offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and efforts to fight for their freedom.  It is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society--the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds ($20,000) are allocated in the LCAP, Goal 1A1 for the purchase and replacement of core literature titles.
