|
Presented for your consideration is the 2018-2019 Bridges Charter School Narrative portion of our SARC.
In November 1988, California voters passed Proposition 98, also known as The Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act. This ballot initiative provides California's public and charter schools with a stable source of funding. In return, all public and charter schools in California are required annually to prepare a School Accountability Report Card (SARC) and disseminate it to the public. SARCs are intended to provide the public with important information about each public school and to communicate a school's progress in achieving its goals.
Governing boards are required to approve the publication of their SARC on an annual basis, publicize those reports, and notify parents and guardians of pupils that a hard copy will be provided upon request.
State and federal laws require specific items to be reported in the following categories: demographic information, school safety and climate for learning, academic data, school completion, class size, teacher and staff information, curriculum and instruction, postsecondary preparation, and fiscal and expenditure data.
Approval for publication is requested.
