LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICY BULLETIN

BUL-2326.4 Page 1 of 14 June 8, 2007 Instructional Support Services

TITLE: Textbook Policies and School Site Procedures

NUMBER: BUL-2326.4

ISSUER: Maria E. Wale, Assistant Superintendent Instructional Support Services

DATE: June 8, 2007 PURPOSE:

To provide guidance to Local Districts and schools in the development and implementation of legally compliant textbook policies and procedures.

MAJOR CHANGES:

This Bulletin replaces BUL-2326.3 with the same title, dated April 19, 2007, and contains an updated list of Decile 1-3 schools.

BACKGROUND:

Williams legislation sets out several mandates aimed at identifying and correcting the impediments to student academic success that were the subject of a lawsuit against the State of California. The law seeks to ensure that:

• All students, in all schools, have been issued State content-standards-aligned textbooks and instructional materials in the core and required subject areas.

• All students have access to school facilities that are clean, safe, and functional.

• All teachers are appropriately assigned and have the proper certification or training for their assignment, especially those in classrooms with 20% or more English learners.

Williams legislation amends Section 60119 of the Education Code pertaining to textbooks and instructional materials. This law mandates that districts and schools take the appropriate actions, as outlined in this bulletin, to ensure that all students, in all schools, have access to sufficient textbooks and/or instructional materials in the core and required subject areas.

Section 60119 also requires that the Board of Education conduct an annual public hearing on or prior to the eighth week of school to determine, through a resolution, whether or not there are sufficient textbooks and/or instructional materials in the core and required subject areas. In the event of an insufficiency in textbooks and/or instructional materials in the core and required subject areas at any grade level at any time, schools must take immediate action to procure replacement books as instructed in this Bulletin.

As defined by California Education Code Section 60119, “sufficient textbooks and/or instructional materials” means that all students, including English learners, have standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home. Schools must provide each student with the most recently adopted textbooks for class and home use in the following core and required subject areas.

District policy does not allow the use of State textbook funds for the purchase of a classroom set in addition to books issued directly to students.

All schools are accountable to the mandates of Williams legislation. However, there is a focus on the lowest performing schools currently defined as those ranked in the bottom one-third (deciles 1-3) of the 2003 base Academic Performance Index. (See Attachment A). The California Department of Education (CDE) is expected to announce the new deciles 1-3 schools based on the 2006 API in May 2007. The local county office is responsible for monitoring and reporting on these schools. Under the law, the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) has the responsibility of conducting school visits, 25% of which must be unannounced, to validate that schools are using District adopted and/or approved textbooks and that students have access to sufficient textbooks and/or instructional materials.

Textbooks may fall within one of three categories:

• District Adopted Textbooks • District Approved Textbooks • Supplemental Textbooks

District Adopted Textbooks: District adopted textbooks are the textbooks in the core and required subject areas that have been adopted for use in the District for grades K-12. These are the only textbooks that may be purchased with State textbook funding. The list of District Adopted Textbooks is available at the Textbook Services website, http://textbookservices.lausd.net.

District Approved Textbooks: District approved textbooks are additional textbooks in the core and required subject areas that have been approved by the District’s instructional units for use in the District for grades K-12, but have not gone through the formal State or District adoption process. As such, these books comply with the mandates of Williams legislation; however, these books may not be purchased with State textbook funding. The list of District Approved Textbooks is also available at the Textbook Services website, http://textbookservices.lausd.net.

Supplemental Textbooks: Supplemental textbooks are used to enhance the core instructional program. These books may be purchased with categorical or discretionary funds.



PROCEDURES: A. PROVIDING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES AT NO COST TO STUDENTS

In compliance with the Constitution of the State of California (Article IX, Sections 5 and 7.5), California Education Code Section 60119, and the California Code of Regulations Title 5, Section 350, schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District are to provide students with sufficient instructional materials and supplies at no cost and may not require any student to have a picture ID or to pay a fee, deposit, or other charge for textbooks or other basic educational activities, unless authorized by law.

Additionally, a student may neither be required to purchase basic supplies, (e.g., writing and drawing paper, pens, crayons, and pencils, related to the educational program) nor be assessed a “materials fee” for supplies needed in an elective class or “project-based course.”

While textbooks and instructional materials are provided at no cost to the students, parents or guardians are still responsible for loss or damage. Despite parent’s responsibility for lost or damaged books, schools must immediately issue a replacement textbook to a student without waiting for reimbursement. For District procedures, see Bulletin No. N-7 (Rev.), Restitution Procedures for the Loss or Damage of School Property, Office of School Operations, November 12, 1999.

Obsolete textbooks and instructional materials may be donated, but not sold, to students. For District procedures, see Bulletin No. BUL-1207, Donation, Sale, and Recycling of Obsolete Textbooks, Library Books, and Instructional Materials, Business Services Division, February 4, 2005.

B. IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE

Schools and Local District Superintendents should implement the following practices, as appropriate.

Ongoing Responsibilities 1. Ensure that all staff, students, and parents have been made aware of

textbook policies, procedures, and the mandates of Williams legislation and understand their role in complying with the law.

2. Develop and implement consistent policies/procedures to prevent/alleviate textbook loss. This may include collecting books from students who go off-track at year round schools.

3. Provide opportunities for restitution for vandalism and loss. 4. Conduct internal textbook and instructional materials sufficiency

audits at the school site at least twice per year. Schools with block schedules should check sufficiency at each mester change.

5. Procure textbooks and/or instructional materials immediately when an insufficiency is identified.



6. Provide sufficient staffing (which could include classified, out-of-classroom certificated personnel, students, or parent/community volunteers, as available) during critical periods (opening/closing tracks, spring and summer book deliveries) to ensure that books are processed and ready for distribution on the first day of instruction each semester or track.

7. Cross-train all staff in the duties associated with textbook procedures and the distribution process so that staff and student changes will not disrupt procedures for distribution and collection.

8. Maintain current appropriate inventory records to expedite effective ordering for sufficiency. All secondary schools are required to maintain an accurate physical inventory of textbooks through the full use of the District-supplied School Administrative Student Information (SASIxp) textbook inventory control system. All textbook inventory reports, at both the elementary and secondary level, should include the title of the book, author, publisher, copyright date, and International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

9. Require students to cover their books. 10. Consistently monitor implementation of policies and procedures.

January – June 1. Inventory all textbooks to determine anticipated needs prior to

attending the spring enrollment “Roadshow.” 2. Remove obsolete and unused books and materials from classrooms and

textbook room. When new textbooks have been adopted for a core or required course, do not remove the textbooks currently in use until the newly adopted textbooks are distributed.

3. Review textbook inventory with Director of School Services at Roadshow.

4. Compare projected enrollment numbers and current inventory counts to target textbook purchases for the following school year.

5. Ensure that textbooks and instructional materials are ordered, to the extent practicable, before the school year begins.

6. Immediately inventory and process books upon delivery and complete online receiver process to notify the District that books have arrived.

7. Two weeks prior to opening a semester or track, compare existing textbook inventory to the projected enrollment in the core instructional programs taught at each grade level to identify possible insufficiencies or surpluses in a subject area.

8. Review inventory information with Local District personnel to ensure sufficiency and identify surpluses that can be shared with other schools.

9. Local District Fiscal Managers are required to review and provide follow up on open BPO’s at their schools.



July – September 1. Distribute textbooks to each student on the first day of instruction and

maintain a record of textbook assignment.

2. Immediately resolve all textbook insufficiencies.

3. Teachers certify textbook sufficiency for each class by the end of the second week of school for each track.

4. Principals review teacher certifications to identify any textbook insufficiencies.

5. Once insufficiencies are resolved, teachers amend and initial their certification form to reflect classroom sufficiency.

6. Principals certify school-wide textbook sufficiency no later than Wednesday of the third week of instruction.

7. Schools maintain a file of teacher and principal certifications for reference.

8. Local District Superintendents certify textbook sufficiency in all schools by norm day for each track.

9. Each Local District must create and maintain a file, organized by school site, which includes:

a. the Principal Certification of Sufficiency (see Section E) b. textbook orders, requests, and Book Purchase Orders (BPO) c. any other evidence that supports the certification of sufficiency

This file may be requested and used at the District public hearing as documentation to support textbook sufficiency in the Local District.

C. ORDERING TEXTBOOKS

In March of each year, the reference guides that target textbook ordering are posted on Inside LAUSD and on the Textbook Services website: http://textbookservices.lausd.net. These reference guides direct schools to purchase textbooks according to the mandates of the Williams legislation and outline specific processes involved with ordering.

Local Districts will provide schools with a “Request for Textbook” form that can be used for review, adjustments, and approval. Price list/order forms are posted on the Textbook Services website for all K-8 instructional materials and for the following recent Grade 9-12 adoptions: foreign language, integrated/coordinated science, health, history/social science, with science to be added this year once adopted and/or approved. Requests for textbooks should be sent to the Local District Superintendent’s office for approval and funding. Funding is no longer allocated to schools on a per pupil basis, but instead allocated to Local Districts on an as needed basis.



Local District administrators should verify that all textbooks ordered and purchased with State textbook money can be found on the District’s Adopted List. This list can be downloaded from the Textbook Services website. State textbook funding does not support the purchase of supplemental instructional materials until all textbooks in the core and required subjects have been purchased. Because of limited State textbook funding, the District cannot fund the cost of supplementary materials. These materials, however, may be purchased with discretionary and categorical funds.

The BPO will be printed at the Local District office. The Local District office will mail the BPO to the publisher. The school location will receive the books and verify quantities. The school location must complete the “on-line receiver” form when both partial and complete orders have been received.

D. BUDGET INFORMATION

To streamline budget information, State textbook money will be reported in program code 4152, object code 4160 for Grades K-12. Program code 4111, previously used at the high school level, has been eliminated. School principals are responsible for ensuring that textbook orders are sent to the Local District for funding and ordering. Local District Superintendents are responsible for requesting funds from Textbook Services to ensure that orders can be submitted in a timely manner. Local District Superintendents are responsible for placing orders within 5 days from receipt of funding.

Supplemental funds are those granted to the district/schools for specific program purposes over and above the general revenue funds received to support the base program. This funding can only be used to supplement and enhance the District’s core program. Title I and EIA-SCE funds may not be used to purchase basic textbooks for core and required subject areas. These supplemental funds may only be used to purchase supplemental textbooks and/or supplemental novels for language arts, mathematics, science, and history/social science. Purchases of supplemental books in Targeted Assistance Schools (TAS) are only for identified Title I students unless multi-funded with other categorical funds (SB 1X, School and Library Improvement, EIA-LEP).

Prior approval from Specially Funded Program Branch must be obtained for Other Book (4210) purchases from Title I and EIA-SCE. The following items must be submitted to the Local District Categorical Coordinator to purchase these materials: a budget adjustment to transfer money to Object Code 4210; a justification page; the Single Plan for Student Achievement page that describes the need for the purchase; and a list of book titles.



E. TEXTBOOK CERTIFICATION HEARING

Section 60119 requires the Board of Education to conduct a public hearing to certify sufficiency on or before the end of the eighth week from the first day pupils attend school for the year on any tracks that begin a school year in August or September. It is scheduled at a time when the public can attend and speak about insufficiencies in the District.

District policy requires all teachers, principals and Local District Superintendents to annually certify textbook sufficiency. Each teacher is to certify sufficiency no later than the end of the second week of instruction, principals by Wednesday of the third week, and Local District Superintendents by Norm Day for each track.

Principals and Local District Superintendents are required to remedy identified insufficiencies prior to certifying sufficiency of textbooks and/or instructional materials for the school or district.

While teacher certifications are not due to principals until the second week of instruction for each track, principals should collect and monitor these certifications as soon as possible in order to identify insufficiency of textbooks at the earliest possible date from the first day of school. Once identified insufficiencies have been addressed, principals should then have teachers amend their original certification form to reflect sufficiency and keep these forms on file at the school site.

Schools must send copies of all teacher certifications, along with the principal’s certification, to the Local District by Wednesday of the third week of instruction. Local Districts will then forward copies of the certifications from schools designated as a Williams Decile 1-3 school to the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) by the end of the third week of instruction. (See Attachment A for current list of schools. CDE will be issuing a revised list in late spring 2007.)

Teacher certifications that reflect unaddressed insufficiency will trigger a Williams non-compliance letter from the County and an earlier audit visit for the school. It is imperative that principals closely monitor teacher certifications, immediately remedy insufficiencies, and have teachers amend their original certifications prior to sending these certifications to the County.At the public hearing, a list of schools with certified insufficiencies including the percentage of students without textbooks or materials and the action being taken to remedy the insufficiencies will be presented to the Board. Additionally, principals of schools certifying insufficiencies may be required to explain the reasons for insufficiency at the public hearing.

It is recommended that the principals of these schools also communicate to community stakeholders the reasons why there are insufficiencies in textbooks and instructional materials, the percentage of students who are without textbooks or materials, and what action is being taken to remedy the insufficiency.



Schools should expect to provide to the director and/or the Local District Superintendent documentation of school site textbook policies, procedures and all efforts to ensure sufficiency.

F. PROVIDING A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO A FIVE-DAY LETTER OF INSUFFICIENCY RESULTING FROM A WILLIAMS ON-SITE VISIT

When a school receives a five day letter of insufficiency, the principal must: a. immediately take steps to remedy insufficiencies. b. write a remediation report to the five-day letter of insufficiency

detailing the steps taken to remedy the insufficiencies. This letter must be submitted to the Local District Superintendent for approval prior to submission to LACOE.

c. obtain Local District Superintendent approval of letters responding to citations for insufficient textbooks, prior to forwarding them to the Los Angeles County Office of Education.

d. write a memo to the Local District Superintendent explaining the reason for the textbook insufficiency.

Attachment B provides LACOE’s suggested remediation steps following a five-day letter of insufficiency.
