CCTP 4 Point Safety Strategy (2 of 2)

Law Enforcement Working Group to create the "High Risk/Low Reward" environment

• Los Angeles School Police Department (LASPD) is collaborating closely with all law enforcement agencies, county and city prosecutors, to effectively and proactively identify emerging crime trends and to develop innovative solutions

• LASPD is coordinating the Law Enforcement Working Group (LEWG) to identify suspects, conduct timely and thorough investigations, make relevant arrests, engage in robust prosecutions to create a culture of “High Risk/Low Reward”

Parents

• Parent training is provided by school staff.

• Training focuses on:

– the rationale for transition to CCSS

– shift in culture and expectations for students

– how use of technology supports improved student learning

– how parents can reinforce learning at home with the device

– digital and other resources for support (apps, websites, school contact person)

• Training will be provided by PCSB to District parent committees.

Parent Engagement

Parents (cont’d)

• Complete and return a Parent / Student Acknowledgement Form.

• Parents are not responsible for theft or loss of the device.

• A parent signature is not required before a student receives a device, because the device is an instructional and learning tool.

• Return rate of the form: highest reported return rate = 99%; lowest reported return rate = above 80%

• Distribution of the Parent / Student Acknowledgement Form varies by local school protocols.

Phase 2January 2014 to May 2014

• Roll out tablets at up to 36 campuses* by April, giving priority to OCR schools and schools identified as having very limited access to technology (up to approximately 40,000 devices)

• Provide tablets and initial orientation to remaining principals and certificated staff at all LAUSD campuses by April (approximately 30,000 devices)

• Provide tablet carts to campuses with inadequate technology so they can participate in the field tests of Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium scheduled for Spring 2014

• Keyboards will be purchased for high schools, middle schools and 3-6 students participating in Phases 1 and 2.• Up to seven high schools can voluntarily participate in a separate laptop pilot (up to one non-Phase-1 high school per Board District).• The Board will reconvene to hear an evaluation of Phases 1 and 2, before voting on

future phases. If approved, Phase 3 and beyond would provide technology to hundreds of remaining school sites.

Plan for rolling out to the remaining LAUSD schools after Phase 1

* A campus includes all schools located at that site
