Palihigh->about us->WASC report

March 17 is the visit.

The BOT asked the admin to provide information about breakdown of grades versus CAASP scores and how closely they aligned to the grades given.

Any correlation has to take into account whether or not the CAASP is necessarily a reflection of their knowledge.  The kids didn't always take the test seriously.  How can we motivate students to do their best?

The kids in the higher-level classes did better on the test as you would expect.

Grades in math were not reliably predictive of scores.

English scores were more reliable and the kids did better overall.

A lengthy discussion ensued about how we can ensure that this data informs our decision making processes and what exactly we can glean from it.

SARC report is done.  It is available on website.

LAUSD comes and looks at school.  It is thorough and comprehensive.  They look at everything.  They will examine every aspect of the school to make sure everything is as it should be. They meet with people and examine files about every aspect of the school.

Same report as last month. 

Next month we will present through 1/31.  We have to submit it on Monday 1/26, but this month is no different.

We're about 50% through the school year and we have gone through about 44% of our expected expenditures.

First time CDE has required this.  We do not have a template.  No vote necessary. It's just making sure that we are on track for our end of year LCAP.

We provided updates on all of the goals.  

For example #1 - fully credentialed teachers.  We have 100% fully credentialed teachers who are properly assigned. 

Everything else is in progress or on track. 

Mr. Herrera went through the various goals and clarified how we're doing with our various goals.

We have been struggling to fill the position of a moderate to severe special education teacher. This is a position to support our most vulnerable students.  Admin would like to implement a signing and retention bonus. $15,000 is proposed. $5,000 signing and $5,000 each year for three years.  

Extensive support needs credentials.  Previously mod/severe disability credential.  We have 11 kids.

FYI - No vote necessary.

We are working on revised policies and procedures for risk mitigation.  We are using templates from CharterSafe.  This will be pushed to Risk Management and then we'll vote.
