DUNSMUIR HIGH SCHOOL

MemoTo: Board of Trustees

From: Arlene Dinges

cc: Ray Kellar and Kim Vardanega

Date: October 10, 2018

Re: Report and information regarding State Dashboard and Local Indicators of Success for Dunsmuir Joint Union High School District.

The State Dashboard is a mandatory metric for each school that reports results of state and local performance standards for all LCFF priorities (schoolwide accountability). The Dashboard displays on the CDE website so parents and community members can see how schools are doing from year to year. Some of the results will be imported directly from the State. Others, the ‘Local Indicators of Success’, must be uploaded by individual schools or districts.

In preparation to upload the Local Indicators into the required State Dashboard, staff has been gathering data from stakeholders, and analyzing results for the local indicators to determine if the required fields have been “Met”, “Not Met”, or “Not Met for 2 or More Years”. Local Indicators must be reviewed by the Board and uploaded into the state website no later than October 16th. The Four Local Indicators include: Priority 1 – Basic Conditions at School; Priority 2 – Implementation of State Academic Standards; Priority 3 – Parent Engagement (Involvement in decision making ,and promotion of participation); and Priority 4 – Local Climate Survey (perceptions of safety and connectedness).

As we go forward into the year, the full LCAP team (Site Council) will look at other data for the dashboard (Priorities 4,5,6,7,& 8).. Information will be gathered from all relevant stakeholders as required to answer each category.

Volume 38 For Publication Date: August 10, 2018 No. 16

Instructional Materials Public Hearing Requirements for 2018-19 School Year

As yet another year begins, Local Educational Agencies must plan for the instructional materials hearing prior to the eighth week of school. Although the categorical funds for instructional materials have been swept into the Local Control Funding Formula, Education Code Section (E.C.) 60119 specifically states that "a district that receives funds for instructional materials from any state source, is subject to the requirements of this section." The code requires that the governing board of a school district hold an annual instructional materials public hearing to determine whether the school district has sufficient standards-aligned textbooks and instructional materials.

Specifically, E.C. 60119 requires that each governing board:

· Hold a public hearing on or before the end of the eighth week from the first day pupils attend classes. For multitrack year-round schools, the requirement refers to the end of the eighth week from the first day that pupils attend classes in a track that begins in August or September.

· Post a notice of the hearing at least ten days in advance in at least three public places within the school district. The notice must state the time, place, and purpose of the hearing. The hearing may not be held during or immediately following school hours.

· Encourage participation in the hearing by parents, teachers, members of the community, and bargaining unit leaders.

· Determine at the hearing whether "... each pupil in each school in the district has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials or both ..." This is defined as each pupil, including English learners, having a "standards-aligned textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home." The language does not require two sets of textbooks or instructional materials for each pupil regardless of whether homework is assigned. The use of "class sets" of instructional materials is insufficient.

o The requirement for sufficient textbooks may not be satisfied by photocopied sheets from a portion of a textbook or by instructional materials photocopied in response to a shortage.

o Instructional materials may be in a digital format as long as each pupil, at a minimum, has and can access the same materials in the class, and to take home, as all other pupils in the same class or course in the school district, and has the ability to use and access them at home.

· Determine whether each pupil enrolled in a foreign language or health course has sufficient standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials.

· Determine whether laboratory science equipment is available to students in grades 9-12 who are enrolled in science laboratory courses.

· Adopt a resolution stating whether textbooks and instructional materials are sufficient.

If an insufficiency exists, disclose in the board resolution to the public and to classroom teachers (1) the percentage of pupils in each school who lack sufficient standards-aligned materials, and (2) the reasons for the insufficiency. The governing board must remedy any insufficiency identified at the hearing within two months of the beginning of the school year. The action cannot be one that would require reimbursement by the Commission on State Mandates. Previously, school districts were allowed two years to correct any deficiency.

815/2018 SSC Fiscal Report print

It is important that all school districts hold their hearings early and not wait until the eighth week of school, because if insufficiencies exist, a school district will have very little time to take corrective action. Compliance with this requirement is monitored through the annual independent audit process. Any discrepancies will result in a finding in the audit report

Attachment 3 for priority 3 – Parent Engagement

Self-Reflection Tool for Parent Engagement – Priority 3

Approach for Self-Reflection Tool to Use as Evidence

LEAs will provide a narrative summary of their progress toward (1) seeking input from parents/guardians in school and district decision making; and (2) promoting parental participation in programs.

OPTION 2: Local Measures Summarize:

(1) the LEA’s progress on at least one measure related to seeking input from parents/guardians in school and district decision making;

The School has diligently been inviting parents to participate in formulating the LCAP and SSP via back to school night, and Community Showcase night. Evidence for attendance at these and other functions is found in our guest welcome sign in book, which was initiated several years ago and has documented participation as much as possible. Site Council attendance records show no parents have attended in 2017-18. At back to school night, informal input is gathered from oral comments and anonymous written comments. This year we had may more comments submitted on our two questions at Back to School Night. One question was how to encourage more parent and community involvement. Answers recapped things we already have in place (offering food and giving students extra credit for parent attendance, and striving to put more fun and entertainment into the events we have), and also some new ideas, like mandated parent teacher conferences instead of voluntary ones. Parents also want more events, but trying to calendar them is a difficult thing. We increased the number of events a couple years ago to include a spring showcase and a spaghetti bowl art auction. The school will maintain those events and look for ways to keep them fresh and fun.

(2) the LEA’s progress on at least one measure related to promoting parental participation in programs;

The school continues to request participation on site council and LCAP by sending out mailings explaining what they are, asking for feedback on goals and actions, and inviting them to meetings. Handouts were given to the parents at Back to School requesting their attendance and involvement and providing dates for the site council meetings and board meetings. This coming year the site council will host a parent meeting night for reviewing the parent involvement policies, and recommending changes if necessary. It will also host a meeting in the spring regarding federal grant goals and expenditures per ESSA.

(3) why the LEA chose the selected measures and whether the findings relate to the goals established for other LCFF priorities in the LCAP.

The school chose these methods in order to cover all possible bases of communication with parents. The findings relate to the LCAP Goal #1, Measurable Outcomes #4 & #5.

Attachment 4 – parent and student perceptions of safety and connectedness have been considered and are met and parents are encouraged to participate in decision-making.

An annual survey for all parents, staff and students will be taken later at Community Forum. It will address about 20 questions, some of which apply to climate and safety. Last year’s comments showed most parents believe their child is safe at school. Student comments indicated they were less sure. We adopted a thorough Safety Plan in the spring of 2017, added CatapultEMS response capability, and began aggressive drills for intruders in the 2017-18 school year. This year we plan to hold a drill with first responders.

The Survey response packet is too large to reproduce but are available for perusal at the Board Meeting and with the Consolidated Applications Coordinator.

Attachment 5 – Summary and recommendations

We recommend final review and action at the October Board meeting in order to allow staff to upload the results in time for the October 16th Deadline.
