The State Board of Education (SBE) approved standards for the local indicators that support local educational agencies (LEAs) in measuring and reporting their progress within the appropriate priority area. For each local indicator, the approved standard includes:

1. Measuring our progress on the local indicator based on locally available information, and
2. Reporting the results to Bridges' local governing board at a regularly scheduled meeting of the local governing board and to stakeholders and the public through the Dashboard.

For each applicable local indicator, we assign one of three performance levels:

• Met
• Not Met
• Not Met for Two or More Years

LEAs make the determination for each applicable local indicator by using self-reflection tools to measure and report their progress through the Dashboard. The collection and reflection on locally available information relevant to progress on local priority areas will support LEAs in local planning and improvement efforts.

Benny Martinez, VCSBSA Director of School Business Services, will present the information and address any questions you may have.

I recommend approval of the 2018-2019 First Interim Budget as presented.

Governance

Technology

This is the second reading of a replacement for BP 1240 Volunteers and Visitors.

This AR is the notice of order compelling the volunteer to leave school property immediately. 

Ed Code Section 44050 requires Districts to provide a written copy of their student interaction policy to parents/guardians. However, this mandate can be met by posting it for viewing on our website.  
Approval of this policy is recommended.

Replacement BP 6163.4 is a more current policy which is specific to the technologies and teaching methods implemented at Bridges, and also meets compliance and guidelines set by the state.


 

This is a more user-friendly agreement and fits the needs of the school more efficiently.

This master agreement for long term independent study it is more explicit and comprehensive and could help Bridges with problems that could arise throughout the year.  The new wording is highlighted in yellow.
