18/19 LCAP Report
19/20 LCAP is currently under development.
- Need to go back and look at 18/19 services and actions to see how we did.
- We must also incorporate and keep the California CDE Dashboard in mind as Dashboard accountability is important.
- Areas of concern:
- College & Career rate
- Suspension rate
- 15/16 report was errantly reported at 0%
- 16/17 report showed in the Dashboard as "Red" for major concern since the rate went from 0 to 7.6%
- 17/18 report raised it from 7.6 to 9.1%
- 18/19 to date, currently, Ceiba sits at 4.6% suspension rate
- Staff attribute the improvement to the implementation of a large number of different supports could be used instead of a suspension. Consequences have changed to better serve the students that have committed a behavior infraction. Ceiba is piloting newer interventions, more team building activities, and focusing professional development on academic and behavioral interventions
- Ensuring Counseling Services in place
- Reviewing placement of support staff
- Hiring a campus supervisor to provide on-the-spot early intervention
