As a measure of accountability, public school reports are available to view on the California Dashboard. Local Indicators and State Indicators are reported annually. The State Board of Education 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 LEA progress on the local indicator based on locally available information, and
    
2. Reporting the results to the LEA's 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, LEAs 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.

Stakeholder feedback was solicited and incorporated into the plan. Board approval is recommended. 

Our Charter Renewal Petition will be submitted to the Ventura County Board of Education in February. Dr. Simon will share some updates on the Charter Renewal Petition with the board and invite feedback. 

This policy must be revised every two years to remain compliant with Ventura County.  Updates were made to include "Manners for Disqualification."

Approval of this item is recommended.

Using board recommendations, revisions were made to the Volunteer Policy to include guidance for Administration in permitting or limiting parent volunteers with a criminal record. 

Approval is recommended. 

The board is asked to consider adopting a position on parental Custody Disputes. Administration will use the AR to emphasize that parents should make every effort to not involve school sites in child custody matters.
