Consideration: Action/Information Date: March 18, 2014 _________________________________________________________________________ 1. APPROVE SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT 2013-2014 Approve the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Addams, Bryant, Burnett, Cleveland, Fremont, Lee, Madison, Signal Hill, Whittier and Willard Elementary Schools; Hudson K-8 School; and Bancroft, Hughes and Rogers Middle Schools. Each of the plans has been reviewed by Equity, Access, and College & Career Readiness staff for compliance. Each plan contains the components of effective planning based on student needs, assessment data, use of staff, parent involvement, and allocation of resources. Each schools’ approved SPSA for the 2013-2014 school year will also serve as an interim plan until the following school year’s SPSA is revised and approved. The funding for all programs and personnel outlined in these SPSAs is reflective of the current fiscal year only. 2. APPROVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE CALIFORNIA

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR TITLE II, PART A Approve Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the California Department of Education as required by Section 2141 (c) of the Elementary & Secondary Education Act/No Child Left Behind. The MOU asserts that the District shall 1) develop and utilize professional development strategies and activities to ensure that 100% of teachers become highly qualified; and 2) prohibit the use of funds under Title I, Part A to fund any paraprofessional who does not satisfy the requirements of Section 1119 (c), which includes two years of postsecondary education, an associate's degree or higher, or, for an applicant with a high school diploma, the demonstration of necessary skills on a formal state or local academic assessment, unless the District can demonstrate significant student enrollment increase or there is an increased need for translators or assistance with parental involvement activities. This MOU is for the 2014-15 school year. 3. APPROVE PARTICIPATION IN CSULB’s SCIENCE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE TO

HELP UNDERSERVED STUDENTS SUCCEED Approve participation in the California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) Summer Science Camp- SEE US Succeed program. In addition to providing homeless and other students experiencing transition in housing with rich, hands-on science experiences, students will also be exposed instruction that addresses career awareness, the importance of education, and college readiness. Participating students will receive lab books, simple school supplies to be used during camp, and a camp shirt. In addition, teams of prospective science teachers from CSULB plan the curriculum, implement lessons, and gather the equipment and supplies needed for inquiry-based science projects. This same program has been successfully offered for the past six summers at Bethune Transitional Center and Cabrillo High School. The proposal includes the use classrooms at Bethune and Cabrillo for the camp. There is no cost to the district.

PHILOSOPHY, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLANS BP 0420

School Plans/Site Councils

The Governing Board believes that comprehensive planning at each district school is necessary in order to focus school improvement efforts on student academic achievement and facilitate the effective use of district resources. The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that school plans provide clear direction and identify cohesive strategies aligned with school and district goals. For any school that participates in specified state and/or federal categorical programs, the school site council or other schoolwide advisory committee shall consolidate plans required for those categorical programs into a single plan for student achievement (SPSA). (Education Code 52055.755, 64001) As appropriate, a school may incorporate any other school plan into the SPSA. (Education Code 64001) The Superintendent or designee shall review each school’s SPSA to ensure that it meets the content requirements for all programs included, is based on an analysis of current practices and student academic performance, and reasonably links improvement strategies to identified needs of the school and students. He/she shall submit to the Board his/her recommendations for plan approval or revision. The Board shall review and approve each school’s SPSA and any subsequence material revisions affecting the academic programs for students participating in the categorical programs addressed in the SPSA. The Board shall certify that, to the extent allowable under federal law, the SPSA is consistent with district local improvement plans required as a condition of receiving federal funding. Any such review and approval shall be at a regularly scheduled Board meeting. (Education Code 64001) Whenever the Board does not approve a school’s SPSA, the Superintendent or designee shall communicate the specific reasons for disapproval of the plan to the school site council or committee. The school site council or committee shall then revise and resubmit the SPSA to the Board for its approval. The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that school administrators and school site council members receive training on the roles and responsibilities of the site council.
