ISSUE:

Should the Board of Education adopt a resolution stating that sufficient standards-based textbooks and materials have been provided to the students in the District?

INFORMATION:

Education Code 60119 requires the Governing Board to annually adopt a resolution as a condition of receiving state funding for textbooks and instructional materials.

As a condition of receipt of these funds, the District is required to publicly declare the status of the textbook budget and its sufficiency for purchasing standards-based textbooks.

Conejo Valley Unified School District is able to provide each student with sufficient textbooks and instructional materials (consistent with the cycles and content of the curriculum frameworks).  In addition, school sites receive supplementary funds for enriching all areas of the curriculum annually and specific science supplementary funds to be used for consumable laboratory expenses and/or equipment.

A public hearing was held for community input on September 20, 2022. Board action adopting Resolution #22/23-15 will occur on October 11, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Textbook and instructional materials are currently being sustained through the use of the following funding sources: Restricted Lottery funds and Local Control Funding Formula allocations.

Should the Board of Education approve the 2022/2023 Elementary and Secondary School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA)?

INFORMATION:

School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) are aligned with the District's 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), which includes the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and the California Alternate Assessments (CAA), California English Language Development Test (CELDT) and/or the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), and local measures of pupil achievement including benchmark and common assessments. The English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessments; Initial ELPAC used for EL identification and Summative ELPAC used to monitor progress of English acquisition, are both implemented. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and allowances at both the state and federal level, some data measures for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school year are not available.

School Site Councils (SSC) analyze the academic performance data of all students, including English learners, foster and homeless youth, gifted and talented students (GATE), socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) students, and students with disabilities (SWD). The SSC also obtains and considers the input of their school communities as provided through the District LCAP Survey and other local surveys and feedback systems. SSCs met in the months of May, June, August, and September to collaborate, draft, and approve the SPSA. School Plans must also include budgets that are discussed, jointly developed, and approved by School Site Councils and English Language Advisory Councils as appropriate. The completed plans and budgets were submitted on September 9, 2022, for review and approval of the Instructional Services Department.

Approved plans are posted on each school’s website for public review at http://www.conejousd.org/SARC-SPSA
