School Portfolio Management Framework

Coherent Governance Policy (Operational Expectation OE-12)• The Chief Executive Officer shall assure the availability of a diverse portfolio of high

quality schools (traditional, new small schools, charter schools, etc) for students and families both within neighborhoods and district-wide

• The Chief Executive Officer shall:

1. Assure that all district quality standards apply equally to all schools regardless of size and type

2. Regularly monitor all schools to assure their cost-effectiveness and compliance with quality standards

3. Assure the sustainability of all schools and programs, especially in a declining revenue environment

4. Create meaningful partnerships between district and charter schools that improve the conditions for both and that enhance choices for students and their families

5. Review school attendance boundaries annually to assure reasonable balance in student enrollment

Criteria for Area of Focus Schools

Academic Tiering Screens for Under EnrollmentAbsolute Performance

• Program Improvement Status• Adequate Yearly Progress targets

School Size • Amount below minimum size 360 = elementary 300 = middle school 400 = high school• Facility capacity is factored into analysis (i.e. some facilities are not large enough to hold these minimum sizes

Student Level Growth

• % of students moving from one performance band to the next (30% = accelerated growth)• Evaluated over one and three year periods

Enrollment Trend

• % loss of students over 1 year• % loss of students over 5 years

Achievement Gap

• Change in the difference between School and Lowest performing subgroup API• All groups must score above at least 550

Facility Utilization

• Utilization by students living in Attendance Area• Utilization by students attending school in neighborhood

• For the 2007 evaluation of the portfolio, Academic and Enrollment screens were used in combination to identify Focus schools

• It’s important to note that this process supported a continued investment in high quality small schools. For example, a school that is under sized but categorized as GREEN in the Tiered Support & Intervention model would not be identified as a focus school

Community Engagement: What do community members believe is the best solution for the school?

Survey data of satisfaction: What does the Use Your Voice data say about stakeholder satisfaction with the school?

Programmatic Sustainability: Is the school able to provide the resources families deserve based on its size?

Attendance Boundaries: Would a shift of attendance boundaries solve some of the challenges facing the school?

MegaBoundary Impact: How would an intervention in this particular school impact other schools in the megaboundary?

ACADEMIC FACTORS COMMUNITY FACTORS ENROLLMENT FACTORS

School monitoring and observation data: Based on classroom observations, is the school demonstrating a capacity to accelerate academic achievement for all students?

Long-Term Enrollment Trends: What is the projected enrollment in the attendance area over the next five years?

December 12 BOE (v5 12/06/07) - 18 -

Peralta Creek: Recommendation


Intensive monitoring and support to increase enrollment and continue academic acceleration. Consider a possible boundary adjustment to increase the number of neighborhood students to recruit to the school

Data• OUSD Tier: New Year 2• PI Status: Not in PI. DID NOT MAKE AYP in 06-07• API: 517.

Evidence for Recommendation• Of the 956 non-SDC students living in the Simmons attendance area, approximately 300 are attending outside the neighborhood• Based on enrollment trends there are too many middle school seats (inclusive of the other neighborhood schools) for the number of residents living in the Simmons attendance area.• HOWEVER, many other neighboring schools – Bret Harte, Edna Brewer, Frick – are larger than their optimal size. Keeping Peralta Creek open will enable a reduction in overcrowding at these nearby schools and ensure that every student had access to their neighborhood school• Engagement with staff and community at Peralta Creek and United For Success indicated a desire to keep the school open

Evidence for Recommendation• New leader has cultivated a positive and productive school culture• Classrooms demonstrate evidence of an academic focus with consistent blackboard configurations• Attendance in October was 95.0% (compared to 94.7% for the same period last year)• Suspension rate was 2.5% in October (compared with 10.6% for the same period last year)• School is piloting Extreme Learning for After School Program with 60 (basic and above) students and QUAD with 60 (Far Below Basic and Basic) students

2008-2009: 250 (+42)2009-2010: 300 (+50)





Data• OUSD Tier: Orange• PI Status: Year 1. DID NOT MAKE AYP in 06-07• API: 586. DECREASED by 13 points

Evidence for Recommendation• New leader has already begun recruiting students for 2008-2009. He intends to recruit students from surrounding elementary schools, including the school where he was formerly principal.

• There are 291 students living in the EXPLORE neighborhood but attending school elsewhere. EXPLORE would only need to attract back 30% of these students to reach a sustainable size.

Evidence for Recommendation• Strong new leadership at site• Climate and culture have dramatically improved at the school since last year• Instructional Leadership Team has agreed upon school wide focus of reading comprehension.• Evidence of key instructional strategies being used: reciprocal teaching and direct instruction• Read 180 is being used with a group of intervention 6th graders• Teachers are producing weekly lesson plans and units that are aligned with pacing and instructional guides• Student work is displayed

Data• OUSD Tier: Orange• PI Status: Year 2. MADE AYP in 06-07• API: 521. INCREASED by 90 points

Evidence for Recommendation• The trend at the 9th grade level shows the school has potential for growth over time. Currently 70 students enrolled in 9th and 10th graders• Key will be the schools’ ability to retain the students they have recruited•In 2004 the freshmen class was 94 students. In 2007, the senior class had 44 students (a loss of 50 students over 4 years). •In 2006 there were 62 9th grade students and this year there were 63 10th grade students (a gain of 1 student).

Evidence for Recommendation• The school made significant gains in 2006-2007, as measured by the API• Objectives are addressing a higher level of rigor• PLCs meet weekly to examine student work, lesson plans and curriculum• Leader is engaged in frequent observation of teachers; feedback is given immediately• Increase in students feeling safe at the school as measured by Use Your Voice (80% in 06-07 vs. 35% in 05-06)• 91% of students believe that they are being held to high standards, up from 60% in 05-06

Sankofa: Recommendation

Recommendation

School closure



Data: Residents*• 2006 Residents: 135• 2012 Residents (est): 199 • Facilities Capacity (approx): 300

Data• OUSD Tier: Orange• PI Status: Year 1. DID NOT MAKE AYP in 06-07• API: 535. DECREASED by 43 points

Evidence for Recommendation• School is not fiscally sustainable at its current size• Currently only 13 neighborhood students are selecting Sankofa as their school• Last year the school had 119 students in grade K-4. This year, the school added a 5th grade but enrollment decreased in K-5 to 115 students• Based on these enrollment trends and the number of students living in the neighborhood, it is not feasible for Sankofa to grow to a fiscally sustainable size

Evidence for Recommendation• Academic performance was extremely low for each of the school’s first two years. During the 2006-2007 school year, only 13% of students scored proficient in Math and only 13% of students score proficient in ELA• Sankofa’s K-5 program significantly under-performed the district during the 2006-2007 school year in both Math and ELA• Classroom observations indicate a lack of rigor

* Sankofa sits within the Peralta attendance area. Residents have priority at both Sankofa and Peralta

Data: Residents• 2006 Residents: 290• 2012 Residents (est): 251• Facilities Capacity (approx): 250

Data• OUSD Tier: Yellow• PI Status: None• API: 666. DECREASED by 54 points

Evidence for Recommendation• Due to the small size of Burckhalter, monies are not generated to provide the extra support which other typical schools can provide, as noted by several families during the community engagement process• This year, only 28% of families living in the Burckhalter attendance area chose to attend the school. This number is down from 29% in 2006-2007 and 33% in 2005-2006• The trend of neighborhood families not choosing Burckhalter is not new. Since 1999, no more than 50% of the families living in the neighborhood have chosen to send their child to this school

Evidence for Recommendation• Academic performance declined significantly during the 2006-2007 school year. API decreased 54 points. The percentage of student scoring Proficient or Advanced in ELA decreased from 39% to 26% (a decline of 13%).• Classroom instructional practices have not enhanced the acceleration of student learning• There is minimal evidence that instruction is differentiated to address the varying needs of students• Teachers and administrators are at the initiation stage of development in forming their Professional Learning Community and in creating effective systems that monitor student achievement

* Increase due to expanded boundary with the closure of Burbank

IV. Other Recommendations

December 12 BOE (v5 12/06/07) - 25 -

Expansion of Continuation School and Drop out Recovery Alternatives

Recommendation

1. Transition Bunche into a third continuation school for OUSD2. Pilot an AdvancePath* drop out recovery academy within Leadership Prep on the Castlemont campus in

Spring 20083. Evaluate the feasibility of opening a second AdvancePath drop out recovery academy in West Oakland for

Fall 2008

Rationale Cost Estimate

Transition Bunche into a continuation school • Bunche is not achieving its mission of accelerating 8th and 9th grade students back into traditional high schools at grade level.• The significant investment in new small middle schools has created the structures which should be accelerating students to grade level in middle school • There is a need for additional continuation school options within OUSD. Both Dewey and Rudsdale have reached full capacity with each school enrolling approximately 30 more students than projected. • Opening a third continuation school located in West Oakland would reduce transportation challenges that many students face with regards to Dewey and Rudsdale

Start UpCyberHigh: $50,000Textbooks: $15,000(Can be funded through categoricals, State block grant, or lottery)Operating: Funded through ADA

Opening 1-2 AdvancePath Dropout Recovery Academies• OUSD is currently not serving a large and growing population of drop outs and students at risk of dropping out• AdvancePath academies have a track record of success graduating students who had formerly dropped out or who were at risk of dropping out. The program uses an innovative instructional model of technology based student driving learning

Facilities: $50,000 (funded through Measure B)Operating: Funded through ADA* AdvancePath is an organization which operates drop out recovery academies serving 180-220 students

within a district school. For additional information see Appendix B

December 12 BOE (v5 12/06/07) - 26 -

Other

Recommendation

Melrose Leadership Academy: Grade configuration

• Leadership at Melrose Leadership Academy has expressed an interest in transitioning the school into a dual language immersion K-8• Due to the complexity of successful implementation of such a model, there is a significant amount of design work which would need to occur prior to the school enrolling students. A recommendation for transitioning the school would therefore need to contain a full year incubation process.• As such, the current recommendation is to continue to evaluate the feasibility of transitioning the school into a dual language immersion K-8 in 2009, based on capacity and funding availability for incubation during 2008-2009. A final recommendation will be made by April 2008

International High School: Permanent location

• The current recommendation is to keep International High School at the Carter facility• For the purposed of the options window, the school should continue to use their current address• This recommendation will be finalized as part of the 2008-2009 facility utilization plan which will be brought to Board in February

Redwood Heights:Solution to overcrowding

• We are continuing to engage with the Redwood Heights community regarding their issues of overcrowding• Although the school is currently overcrowded, the number of elementary school residents living in the neighborhood (180) is significantly less than the facilities capacity (approximately 315).• As a result, we are not making a recommendation for an structural changes such as attendance boundary adjustments• We will continue to work with the school community to ensure that clear processes are being followed regarding how students are assigned and, if necessary, redirected in accordance with Board policy
