2 About the SARC Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at View this SARC online at the school and/or LEA Web sites. For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school at (805) Student Enrollment by Grade Level Grade Level Number of Students Gr Gr Gr Total Student Enrollment by Group Group Percent of Total Enrollment Black or African American American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Filipino Hispanic or Latino Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 0.3 White 41.4 Two or More Races 2.3 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged 39.7 English Learners 9.0 Students with Disabilities 14.0 A.

3 Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year ) The school district held a public hearing on October 17, 2013, and determined that each school within the district had sufficient and good quality textbooks, instructional materials, or science lab equipment pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are given their own individual standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home. Textbooks and supplementary materials are adopted according to a cycle developed by the California Department of Education, making the textbooks used in the school the most current available. Materials approved for use by the State are reviewed by all teachers and a recommendation is made to the School Board by a selection committee composed of teachers and administrators. All recommended materials are available for parent examination at the district office prior to adoption. The table displays information collected in November 2013 about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school.

Maintenance and Repair District maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and work orders are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and highest priority are given to emergency repairs.

Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the school year, the district allocated $249,269 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.50% of the district s general fund budget.
