§ 15497. Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template.

Introduction:

LEA: Pixley Union School District Contact Dr. Keith Tomes, Superintendent, [email protected] LCAP Year: 2014‐2015

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template

Pixley Union School District is located in Pixley, California (population 2,987), Tulare County, in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California's Central Valley, one of the world's richest agricultural areas. Pixley's vast agriculture industry of farms, orchards and dairies utilizes the latest production technologies and provides most of the local employment for residents.

The District’s current enrollment is 1,087 with students enrolled in two schools. Pixley Elementary School has 768 students. Pixley Middle School serves 319 students. Since the Middle School is fairly new it is in good repair. The Elementary site is up for modernization as soon as funds become available.

Currently our teachers are being trained in Common Core Standards in ELA and Math through Tulare County Office of Education. Teachers are implementing strategies and content in their classrooms, with monitoring through instructional rounds. We are using the latest adoptions for all subjects. List Pixley Union School District welcomes parents as partners in the learning process. Parent education and training classes are offered through Tulare Union School District’s adult program. Training programs in literacy, child safety, parenting skills, etc., are offered throughout the year. We appreciate the support of our community stakeholders and realize we need to work together because, as our students succeed, the community flourishes as well. Pixley Union School District has a large number of English learners. We are currently in year 3 of Program Improvement, and are currently not meeting our AYP. Attendance at our district is high, currently over 96%. We have a low suspension/expulsion rate.

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and annual update template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies’ (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5.

For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities.

For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education‐operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county‐operated schools and programs, including special education programs.

5/29/2014 P a g e | 2

Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code.

The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107‐110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

For each section of the template, LEAs should comply with instructions and use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP.

State Priorities The state priorities listed in Education Code sections 52060 and 52066 can be categorized as specified below for planning purposes, however, school districts and county offices of education must address each of the state priorities in their LCAP. Charter schools must address the priorities in Education Code section 52060(d) that apply to the grade levels served, or the nature of the program operated, by the charter school.

School climate: pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates, other local measures including surveys of pupils, parents and teachers on the sense of safety and school connectedness. (Priority 6)

Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement

Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents.

Instructions: Describe the process used to engage parents, pupils, and the community and how this engagement contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEA’s goals related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2, and the related actions and expenditures are to be described in Section 3.

Guiding Questions:

1) How have parents, community members, pupils, local bargaining units, and other stakeholders (e.g., LEA personnel, county child welfare agencies, county office of education foster youth services programs, court‐appointed special advocates, foster youth, foster parents, education rights holders and other foster youth stakeholders, English learner parents, community organizations representing English learners, and others as appropriate) been engaged and involved in developing, reviewing, and supporting implementation of the LCAP?

5/29/2014 P a g e | 4

2) How have stakeholders been included in the LEA’s process in a timely manner to allow for engagement in the development of the LCAP? 3) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was made available to stakeholders related to the state priorities and

used by the LEA to inform the LCAP goal setting process? 4) What changes, if any, were made in the LCAP prior to adoption as a result of written comments or other feedback received by the LEA

through any of the LEA’s engagement processes? 5) What specific actions were taken to meet statutory requirements for stakeholder engagement pursuant to Education Code sections

52062, 52068, and 47606.5, including engagement with representative parents of pupils identified in Education Code section 42238.01? 6) In the annual update, how has the involvement of these stakeholders supported improved outcomes for pupils related to the state

priorities?

Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators

For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, for each state priority and any local priorities and require the annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals.

Instructions: Describe annual goals and expected and actual progress toward meeting goals. This section must include specifics projected for the applicable term of the LCAP, and in each annual update year, a review of progress made in the past fiscal year based on an identified metric. Charter schools may adjust the chart below to align with the term of the charter school’s budget that is submitted to the school’s authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33. The metrics may be quantitative or qualitative, although LEAs must, at minimum, use the specific metrics that statute explicitly references as required elements for measuring progress within a particular state priority area. Goals must address each of the state priorities and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities. The LEA may identify which school sites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or school site. The goals must reflect outcomes for all pupils and include specific goals for school sites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the school site level. To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school‐specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, school site‐level advisory groups (e.g., school site councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school‐site and district‐level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Guiding Questions:

1) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address state priorities related to “Conditions of Learning”? 2) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address state priorities related to “Pupil Outcomes”? 3) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address state priorities related to “Engagement” (e.g., pupil and parent)? 4) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address locally‐identified priorities? 5) How have the unique needs of individual school sites been evaluated to inform the development of meaningful district and/or individual

school site goals (e.g., input from site level advisory groups, staff, parents, community, pupils; review of school level plans; in‐depth school level data analysis, etc.)?

6) What are the unique goals for subgroups as defined in Education Code sections 42238.01 and 52052 that are different from the LEA’s goals for all pupils?

5/29/2014 P a g e | 9

7) What are the specific predicted outcomes/metrics/noticeable changes associated with each of the goals annually and over the term of the LCAP?

8) What information (e.g., quantitative and qualitative data/metrics) was considered/reviewed to develop goals to address each state or local priority and/or to review progress toward goals in the annual update?

9) What information was considered/reviewed for individual school sites? 10) What information was considered/reviewed for subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052? 11) In the annual update, what changes/progress have been realized and how do these compare to changes/progress predicted? What

modifications are being made to the LCAP as a result of this comparison?

C. Describe the LEA’s increase in funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5). Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, school wide, countywide, or charter wide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496. For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a school site in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or school wide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the district’s goals for unduplicated pupils in the state priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.

$1,730,817.00 in supplemental and concentration funds will be used district‐wide as the unduplicated count is 98.00%. Along with the input from various stakeholders, the District has specified the needs, goals and actions that will academically benefit the student population of the District. The funds promote advancement in Special Education, parent education and professional development and facility needs. All students will be provided additional academic support through in school, after school and summer services. See attached spreadsheet for budget allocations.

D. Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). Identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.

The District is demonstrating proportional use of supplemental and concentration grant funding by expenditures of those dollars. No attempt is made to demonstrate proportional use by percentage of services.

The areas of focus include but are not limited to:

Increasing student achievement and engagement

Full implementation of Common Core State Standards

Increase in parent involvement
