ITEM TITLE:
(1) Conduct Public Hearing; and
(2) Approve Submission of Application for Elementary and Secondary Act, Title I,
Part A Waivers
_ _.:..;::X:......--_Action
- - - - -Information
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the No Child Left Behind (NClB) law passed in 2001, Title I schools not
meeting Adequate Yearly Progress and identified as Program Improvement (PI)
must provide parents of eligible students with notice of their public school choice
options at least 14 days before the start of the school year. This regulation is difficult
to implement in the District, since we do not receive official notification of PI status
until mid-September and the District begins the new academic school year in July.
This waiver will allow the District to inform parents upon official notification by the
California Department of Education after the 14-day period.
Also under current NClB regulations, Title I schools identified as PI Year 2 are
required to provide supplemental educational services (SES) to eligible students.
This waiver will allow District schools to provide SES services to eligible students in
PI Year 1, a year earlier than the law requires.
ADDITIONAL DATA:
Additional information is available for review in the Office of the Assistant
Superintendent/Instructional Services and Support Team leader.
FISCALIMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for SES is provided through Title I.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend conduct public hearing and approval.

Conduct Public Hearing and First Reading: Review Proposed Howard Gardner
Community Charter School Petition
- - - - -Information
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Charter school law was first enacted with passage of Senate Bill 1448 in 1992.
It was designed to provide increased flexibility and freedom to reinvent public
education while raising standards of accountability by focusing on student
performance and achievement. Charters provide choice and alternatives within
the public education system and diversify instructional practices and delivery
systems. Charters have emerged as a key element of systemic public school
reform, and the number of charter schools has increased dramatically in the
state and country.
In 1998, Assembly Bill 544 was passed requiring all charter teachers to be fully
credentialed and all charters to move to a direct-funded block grant.
Subsequently in 1999, the passage of Assembly Bill 631 required all charters to
declare the employer for the purpose of collective bargaining. Charters may be
revoked for material violation of the petition elements, including fiscal
mismanagement, failing to meet or pursue pupil outcomes identified in the
charter, or violating provisions of applicable law.
The District has received a charter proposal from the new Howard Gardner
Community Charter School. The founders of the school state that they will create
and foster a community of skilled lifelong learners who value and appreciate
education as a means to achieve success throughout their academic careers.
They pledge to thoughtfully educate students of all academic and developmental
levels using Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences as the framework as well as
research-based instruction, curriculum, and assessment; teacher, staff, and
family collaboration; and creative arts and technology enrichment. Their students
will grow in an environment that values the whole child educational experience
from academic rigor and project-based learning to creative expression and
leadership development.

Agenda Item 5.B.
January 18, 2011
Copies of the Howard Gardner Community Charter School petition are available
for review in the Office of the Assistant Superintendent/Instructional Services
and Support Team Leader. The charter petition has been evaluated by Cabinet
and District legal counsel and has been circulated to employee groups.
Under this Charter proposal, Howard Gardner Community Charter School will be
a direct-funded charter acting as its own fiscal agent and will negotiate a
separate Memorandum of Understanding with the District that will include
charges for oversight and other possible services. The charter proposal
submitted to the District envisions 150 students in Kindergarten through
Grade 7. The charter will be the employer for purposes of collective bargaining.
Staff at the school will be charter employees, not District employees.
The charter anticipates serving an ethnically diverse population that reflects the
student body of the District: 68 percent Hispanic, 13 percent White,
11 percent Filipino, 4 percent African-American, 3 percent Asian/
Pacific Islander, and 0.1 percent American Indian or Alaskan. Approximately 35
percent of District students are English Learners, and approximately 45 percent
of students qualify for the Free or Reduced Price Meals Program.
Governance will be by the Board of Directors of Howard Gardner Community
Charter School, a California nonprofit organization.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
As a direct-funded charter with no services utilized from the District, substantial
Average Daily Attendance, contingent upon the percentage of students attending
from our District, could amount to a potential loss of revenue of up to $810,000 in
current dollars.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend conduct public hearing and first reading.

After School Education and Safety Program - Before School Component
Criteria or Specific Requirement
Determine that the local education agency operating the After School Education and Safety Program
is compliant with the state components for the before school program as cited under Education Code
Section 14502.1.
Condition
In review of the before school program operating at Otay Elementary School and Juarez-Lincoln
Elementary School, we noted one day of operation at each site for the month tested that did not
reflect any pupil service days. Upon further review and through inquiry with District management, it
was determined that the site scanner system incurred a malfunction on each of those days and no
pupil service days were credited to the attendance reports. As a result, after manual tabulation, it
was determined that 13 pupil service days had not been recorded at Otay Elementary School and a
total of 54 pupil service days had not been recorded at Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School.
Questioned Costs
None. A total of 13 pupil service days for Otay Elementary School and a total of 54 pupil service days
at Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School are understated for the month of May 2010.
Recommendation
Amend the appropriate attendance reports to include and record the understated days. In future
periods, require all monthly attendance reports for all sites be reviewed on a timely basis to ensure
all pupil service days are being recorded. Monitor the scanner system and if malfunction occurs,
develop procedures to tabulate pupil service days manually in order that accurate attendance is
reported for all sites within the District.
LEA's Response
The San Diego County .Office of Education developed a procedure to amend attendance
reports when scanners malfunction or computer networks do not function. School sites provide
the Executive Director of Student, Family, and Community Services copies of student sign-in sheets
for the affected sessions which are used to revise the After School Education and Safety Program
Attendance Report Form. The is then mailed to San Diego County Office of Education.

STUDENT AS!SE~;SNIEN
The Governing Board believes that the primary purpose of student
assessments should be to assist students, parents/guardians, and teachers to
identify individual student's academic strengths and areas needing
improvement. Results of these assessments inform classroom instruction and
improve teaching and learning. The effectiveness of the District's instructional
programs shall be evaluated, in part, on the basis of assessment outcomes.
The Governing Board recognizes that student assessments are an
important instructional and accountability tool. Assessment data shall be
used to help determine individual student's progress, mastery of
academic standards, and appropriate placement in District programs. In
addition, program effectiveness and staff evaluations shall, as
appropriate, be based in part on indicators of student achievement.

and that test administration procedures are fair and equitable for all
students.

ASSESSMENT (continued)
Assessments shall also be conducted for the purpose of determining student
eligibility for and appropriate placement in District programs, including:
1. Promotion/Acceleration/Retention
2. Identification of Individuals for Special Education
3. Identification and Education under Section 504
4. Title I Programs
5. Gifted and Talented Education Program
6. Education for English Learners
7. Migrant Education Program
A variety of evaluation measures are used for the above purposes. To have
validity, achievement tests should correspond to the material that is being
taught and measure the extent to which students meet specified standards of
achievement. A single test or testing method does not provide a complete
assessment of each student's skills nor does it take into account ethnic,
cultural, or gender differences.
When Districtwide and school-level results of student assessments are
published, the Superintendent or designee may provide supplementary
information to assist parents/guardians and the local community in interpreting
test results and evaluating school performance.
Standardized Testing and Reporting System (STAR)
Education Code 60640-60647 established the STAR program, which requires
districts to annually administer a nationally normed test designated by the State
Board of Education for Grades 2-11. The test for Grades 2-8 contains the
subject areas of reading, spelling, 'Nritten expression English/Language Arts
and Mathematics. The
Superintendent or designee shall administer mandatory student assessments
in the state STAR program as required by law. (Education Code 60640)

Report on the Chula Vista Community Collaborative
X Information
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Chula Vista Community Collaborative (CVCC) was launched in the early 1990s
at Vista Square Elementary. Through a Healthy Start planning grant and subsequent
Healthy Start operational grants, CVCC opened its network of six Family Resource
Centers (FRCs). In June 2010, Luz del Sol FRC closed for an extended time due to
construction at Montgomery Middle School.
CVCC continues to operate five FRCs, each offering a gateway to a full range of
family and youth-centered services. Schools frequently make referrals to FRCs
requesting assistance for families or individual students. Services provided include
family support, basic needs services, employment preparation, employment search,
life problems counseling, application assistance for health insurance and food
stamps, parenting classes, and support groups. The focus of the FRCs is to link
families to service providers and to act as the family's advocate.
Tonight's presentation will provide an overview of CVCC, FRCs, and the assistance
they provide to the Chula Vista community.
Additional information is available for review in the Office of the Executive Director
for Student, Family, and Community Services and Support.
