For your approval is the Ellevation for Education contract for school year 2022-2023.  During our charter renewal, we made significant revisions to the English Learner supports and services wherein we developed a plan for aligning to the California English Learner Framework for providing both integrated and designated supports for our English Learners. Most local districts and charters have adopted Elevation Learning for housing and analyzing EL data. The platform also provides strategies for targeted support and intervention for teachers to use for the English Learners in their classrooms. Bridges intends to use Elevation Learning to house all of our assessment data in order to track progress for all subgroups of students. Elevation will be entirely funded using LCFF dollars.

Proposition 30, the Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012, approved by the voters on November 6, 2012, temporarily increases the state's sales tax rate for all taxpayers and the personal income tax rates for upper-income taxpayers.
The revenues generated from Proposition 30 are deposited into a state fund called the Education Protection Account (EPA). School districts, county offices of education, and charter schools (LEAs) will receive funds from the EPA based on their proportionate share of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) amount. A corresponding reduction is made to an LEA or charter school's LCFF state aid equal to the amount of their EPA entitlement. LEAs will receive EPA payments quarterly.
