LEA Name Lucerne Elementary School District Contact Name and Title Mike Brown Principal/Superintendent Email and Phone mbrown@lucerne.k12.ca.us 707-274-5580 2017-20 Plan Summary THE STORY Briefly describe the students and community and how the LEA serves them. The mission at Lucerne Elementary School District (LESD) is to assist students in becoming capable and responsible individuals. Our district will focus on the intellectual, emotional, social, academic and physical development of all students. Recognizing the widely differing interests, needs and abilities of students, the district will provide quality programs to teach valued common knowledge and skills, and will facilitate growth in independent reasoning and creativity. Acknowledging that effective and responsible citizenship requires a personal commitment to lifelong learning, it is our vision that students will learn to assume individual responsibility for continued learning. Since schools share the educational function with the family and other institutions, the district will work with students, parents and community members to meet the needs of developing children while they are entrusted to our district s school. LESD is a K-8 elementary school district that serves approximately 260 students. We are a rural school district located on the shores of Clearlake in the town of Lucerne, which has a population of approximately 3,067. LESD currently has five English Learners and therefore CELDT data is not a large enough group to be classified as a sub-group. LESD has a very high unduplicated count of 89%. This means that a majority of our students are low income, foster and ELL youth. Another characteristic of our student population is that the transiency rate at LESD is quite high in most years well over 50%. This makes it difficult to show school-wide growth over time in some areas, thus some of our metrics are based on assessments given at the beginning and end of the school year. Using this data gives us insight into the academic performance of students that have been serviced at our site the entire school year. LESD employs twelve general education teachers, two intervention teachers, and one special education teacher. The school employs twelve instructional assistants to aide students in the classroom. Our school is involved in the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) program which provides a positive support system for students. There are several staff who are employed to support this program, one school counselor, one Americorps plus aide and two structured play recess supervisors. LESD is also an AVID elementary school which supports teachers and students in closing the achievement gap and creating a college going culture school wide. Currently LESD has ten AVID trained teachers and a district program director that supports school wide implementation. Page 1 of 74
LCAP HIGHLIGHTS Identify and briefly summarize the key features of this year s LCAP. The LCAP is a plan that uses our mission to support concrete action. Goals are developed with actions and measurements to ensure accountability and proper funding. Our plan centers around three main goals that are related to the eight state priorities. They are conditions of learning, pupil outcomes, and engagement. Conditions of learning: In order to support students in becoming lifelong learners the district will provide high quality curriculum, highly qualified teachers, a broad and engaging course of study with technology throughout instruction. Core instructional materials Technology ratio of 2:1 Highly qualified teachers Facility maintenance Pupil outcomes: Lucerne Elementary recognizes that each student has different needs, abilities, and interests. It is a priority of the district to increase student achievement for all students and subgroups. Math and Reading Intervention Extended learning opportunities AVID Engagement: Lucerne Elementary recognizes that each stakeholder plays an integral part in student success. The district is committed to creating a school culture that is welcoming and engaging for all stakeholders. School climate personnel School to home communication Attendance incentives program Reduction of class size in grades 4-8 REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE Based on a review of performance on the state indicators and local performance indicators included in the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, progress toward LCAP goals, local self-assessment tools, stakeholder input, or other information, what progress is the LEA most proud of and how does the LEA plan to maintain or build upon that success? This may include identifying any specific examples of how past increases or improvements in services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth have led to improved performance for these students. GREATEST PROGRESS We continue to make all of our benchmarks under the conditions of learning goal. We have surpassed our tech ratio of two to one. We continue to score exemplary on the Williams FIT report. All of our students are provided with core instructional materials in all core subjects. For our pupil outcomes goal, we have a higher percentage of students making at least a half of a school year s growth in Language Arts and Math after receiving interventions. Another highlight from this year is the significant increase of students who are reading at grade level in 1st-5th grade. The intervention program will continue to be used to improve student achievement in reading and math. Our students have made great growth after receiving interventions but we can continue to grow the number of students who are on grade level in the coming years. For our engagement goal, we are proud of the fact that our suspension rate for the last three years has continued to drop to the current rate of 5.7%. We view this as a success because we are held to the elementary school suspension rate even though our school contains middle school students. In the coming school year we will continue to support programs targeted at decreasing our suspension rate. PBIS will be fully implemented in the 2017-2018 school year with more targeted supports for students designated as Tier 3. Our English Learners and Foster Youth will continue to receive priority placement in all of our programs. The number of students designated as EL and Foster Youth is very small and does not qualify as a sub group but we will continue to use data to support achievement. Page 2 of 74
Referring to the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, identify any state indicator or local performance indicator for which overall performance was in the Red or Orange performance category or where the LEA received a Not Met or Not Met for Two or More Years rating. Additionally, identify any areas that the LEA has determined need significant improvement based on review of local performance indicators or other local indicators. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these areas with the greatest need for improvement? GREATEST NEEDS We see a real need at our school site to build our students capacities to fully engage in the learning process and to take ownership of their education. We believe that meeting our students academic needs is closely tied to their emotional needs. Our driving goal is to provide programs and supports that work to address a myriad of personal needs so our students can become well rounded lifelong learners. We also understand that an important component to this issue is engaging our parents and community in the educational process. We can continue to grow in our ability to reach parents and community members about the importance of school attendance as well as increasing academic program transparency. Working to have all of our stakeholders embody our school mission will generate a positive and academic school environment for all students. As per our performance on state indicators reported on the California Dashboard we have several areas for improvement that received a red or orange designation. It is apparent that for an elementary school our suspension rate is high in four categories; they are all students, socio-economically disadvantaged, students with disabilities, and Hispanic subgroups. To address this need we will continue to implement PBIS with fidelity and develop strategies for students identified as Tier 3. We will also monitor suspension rate data using SWIS, which is a tracking software that looks to find recurring trends on behavior. All of our suspensions currently come from grades 4 th -8 th thus an additional teacher will be hired in these grade levels to decrease class size and improve student to teacher relationships. In the area of English Language Arts we also have red and orange designations in four categories; they are all students, socioeconomically disadvantaged, Hispanic, and white. These scores were based off of CAASPP scores and show that we have significantly declined in all four categories. In the 2014-2015 school year our Language Arts CAASPP scores were low and they decreased in the 2015-2016 school year. One of the factors that impact these scores is the fact that we have a high degree of student transiency and our sample population dramatically changes from one school year to the next. Although, we can do very little to change transiency we have several actions that will work to improve student achievement for all students. In the 2017-2018 school year a new writing program will be implemented to support student achievement. Lexia, Reading Plus and AVID are programs that are also being used to improve student outcomes in English Language Arts as well as all other core subjects. Although chronic absenteeism is not currently reported on the California Dashboard we have found that we have a significant number of students who fall into this category. Due to the fact that our chronic absenteeism rate continues to be high we will implement a new program that will target K-3rd grade students and parents. We are targeting the primary grades with the mindset that changing attendance patterns early on will help to improve attendance throughout their academic careers. Page 3 of 74
Referring to the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, identify any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the all student performance. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these performance gaps? PERFORMANCE GAPS According to the California State Dashboard we do have performance gaps in English Language Arts and suspension rate. In the area of English Language Arts our Hispanic students scored significantly lower than all students. In order to address this gap all Hispanic students 1 st -8 th will be given priority placement in the intervention programs. We will use the STAR reading test to determine whether intervention is appropriate. The STAR reading assessment is given to all students 1 st -5 th. For Hispanic students 6 th -8 th we will administer this assessment individually and they will be placed accordingly in intervention programs as needed. There are also performance gaps for suspension rate in the Hispanic and students with disabilities subgroup categories. To monitor this performance gap we will use the SWIS dashboard to guide actions for Hispanic students and students with disabilities. The PBIS team will also create program supports for Hispanic students and students with disabilities that receive the Tier 2 designation. Page 4 of 74
INCREASED OR IMPROVED SERVICES If not previously addressed, identify the two to three most significant ways that the LEA will increase or improve services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth. In relation to the above mentioned performance gaps we have several actions that will target identified sub groups. Goal 2 Pupil outcomes: Lucerne Elementary recognizes that each student has different needs, abilities, and interests. It is a priority of the district to increase student achievement for all students and subgroups. For our ELA performance gap actions: Reading Plus: This web based program is for students in the 3rd-8th grade. The program is designed to individually assess student s ability and assign lessons that will improve their ability to comprehend texts, build fluency, and develop vocabulary. We currently have Lexia which is the sister program to Reading Plus and targets students in TK-5th. Goal 3 Engagement: Lucerne Elementary recognizes that each stakeholder plays an integral part in student success. The district is committed to creating a school culture that is welcoming and engaging for all stakeholders. For our Suspension and Chronic absenteeism performance gaps: Chronic absenteeism continues to be a prevalent issue at our school. In order to decrease our chronic absenteeism rate we are using a new program called the Achievement Initiative. This program is designed to improve attendance in TK-3rd by systematically informing parents about attendance. The driving reasoning for adopting this program is that research shows that if we can improve a child s attendance at an early age it will improve their attendance throughout their academic career. We will also continue to address our suspension rate by fully implementing PBIS in the 2017-18 school year. This next year of implementation will focus on developing strategies for Tier 3 students. Students who are identified as Tier 3 are students who receive frequent discipline reports and who are mostly likely to be suspended. The PBIS team will work to create individualized plans for these students in an effort to decrease suspensions. An additional teacher will be hired in grades 4-8 to reduce class size and improve the relationships between teachers and student. We are looking forward to this action also reducing the number of suspension as they have all came from these five grade levels this school year. BUDGET SUMMARY Complete the table below.

Use actual annual measurable outcome data, including performance data from the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Describe the overall implementation of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal. The purpose of goal one is to ensure that our students receive a broad course of study that is aligned to the Common Core State Standards from highly qualified educators and support staff. Since we have met our target metrics for this goal the actions are mostly in place to maintain good standing. Describe the overall effectiveness of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal as measured by the LEA. Explain material differences between ed Expenditures and Estimated Actual Expenditures. Our school continues to be a well maintained and a safe environment for students to learn in. The teaching staff are all highly qualified and new teachers are supported through BTSA. Our students have textbooks that are aligned to the standards and sufficient technology to support them in their learning. Professional development is available to teachers to keep them up to date on current educational technology. Visual and performing arts curriculum is available to students in order to support a broad course of study. See individual Action under Actual section for material discrepancies between budgeted planned action expenditures and actual expenditures. Describe any changes made to this goal, expected outcomes, metrics, or actions and services to achieve this goal as a result of this analysis and analysis of the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Identify where those changes can be found in the LCAP. There were no substantial changes made to this goal. We are planning on adding another laptop cart to the upper grades which will get our technology ratio closer to 1:1. We are also looking at adopting curriculum for Transitional Kindergarten. This action will help to support academic preparedness in Kindergarten. Page 12 of 74
Goal 2 Pupil Outcomes: Increase student achievement for all students, including Student with Disabilities, Low Income, Foster Youth, and ELLs. State and/or Local Priorities Addressed by this goal: STATE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 COE 9 10 LOCAL ANNUAL MEASURABLE OUTCOMES EXPECTED ACTUAL Students targeted for intervention based on pre and third quarter post test assessments will show growth in either reading and/or mathematics by.5 of a grade level as per STAR reading and math. A higher percentage of all students in first grade through fifth grade will be on or at grade level, based on 2014-2015 baseline data (reading 25%, math 30% at grade level) will increase by at least 1% yearly. Student s value of education will increase by having at least two additional school-wide opportunities to share work and projects; be exposed to outside educational experiences such as assemblies, guest speakers, and field trips as measured by local survey. Students will show overall academic achievement growth by an increased average in GPA grades 4-8 by.10 grade point or until it reaches 3.0 or higher (2014-15 baseline of 2.72). Additional Metrics: API- establish growth when Calculated by CDE, Increase performance on SBAC assessments when baseline data is provided by CDE. A majority of students in reading and math intervention made at least.5 year s growth according to pre and post test data. In reading intervention 61% of participating students made.5 year s growth. In math intervention 81% of participating students made.5 year s growth. A higher percentage of all students in the first through fifth grade were on grade level in reading and math. In math 34% of all students in the first through fifth grade were on grade level. In reading 37% of all students in the first through fifth grade were on grade level. The district did increase the number of opportunities where students work and experiences were valued. The district did add two additional nights where parent involvement and student work was showcased. Students overall academic growth in the 4 th -8 th grade did not increase to the set benchmark. The overall GPA stayed at our baseline value of 2.72. Page 13 of 74

ANALYSIS Complete a copy of the following table for each of the LEA s goals from the prior year LCAP. Duplicate the table as needed. Use actual annual measurable outcome data, including performance data from the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Describe the overall implementation of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal. Describe the overall effectiveness of the actions/services to achieve the articulated goal as measured by the LEA. The implementation of actions and services related to this goal have shown to be effective at improving student achievement. Our Reading and Math intervention programs have both exceeded our set goals. Overall GPA in grades went up.06 of a point but will no longer be used as a metric as it will be changed to CAASP scores. We believe that all of the actions listed for this goal have led to the improved achievement. Each action listed was fully implemented for the 2016-2017 school year. The intervention program in reading and math has supported academic growth for students below grade level in these subjects. Our actions have also resulted in a higher percentage of students being on grade level for reading in the 1st-5th grade. Explain material differences between ed Expenditures and Estimated Actual Expenditures. See individual Action under Actual section for material discrepancies between budgeted planned action expenditures and actual expenditures. Describe any changes made to this goal, expected outcomes, metrics, or actions and services to achieve this goal as a result of this analysis and analysis of the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, as applicable. Identify where those changes can be found in the LCAP. This goal will remain the same next year but we will be changing the metrics used to monitor progress. We were using GPA to monitor student s ability to perform on grade level. We have now changed that metric to using the CAASPP scores to reflect student s progress meeting grade level expectations. We are adding the Reading Plus program for the 2017-18 school year. This action will address our performance gap in English Language Arts. We are also continuing to implement AVID which supports student accountability and engagement and will also improve student academic achievement. Due to measured performance gaps Hispanic students they will have priority placement in all intervention programs. Upon arrival, each new Hispanic student will be assessed in reading and properly placed if needed into district intervention programs. Page 24 of 74
Goal 3 Engagement: Improve school culture and climate for all students, staff, parents, and guardians. Parents and guardians will become more involved in their child s education and demonstrate increased participation in school sponsored activities. State and/or Local Priorities Addressed by this goal: STATE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 COE 9 10 LOCAL ANNUAL MEASURABLE OUTCOMES EXPECTED ACTUAL Parents will have increased opportunities to be involved in school functions and attendance at school functions i.e. two parent/teacher conferences, Open House, two parent/family nights, Math Night, Back to School Night, Science Fair and classroom volunteering. Students suspension rate will decrease. Students attendance rate will raise. Metric: Measured number of parent involvement opportunities to be increased by one each year until the district reaches a total of 8, (7 in 2015/16), parent attendance was measured by sign in sheets and a baseline attendance was developed of 756 visits for 2014-15 (then for each subsequent year increase by 2%.), Suspension and expulsion rates (SARC) Students suspension rate will decrease from the 2 year average of 6.45 to 6.25, attendance reports will show an increase in attendance by.2% yearly or be at or above 95% (with a 2014-2015 baseline of 93.94 calculated at end of 3 rd quarter) middle school dropout rates will stay at 0. Expulsion Rate will stay at 0. The Chronic Absenteeism rate will decrease by at least 1% (based on the 2014-2015 baseline of 20% calculated on 4/30/15). K-8 district thus high school dropout and graduation rates not applicable. Parents had increased opportunities to be involved in school functions which were measured by attendance sheets. The district increased the school functions to eight and measured 1006 parent visits during those functions. Our suspension rate did decrease to 5.7%. Our student attendance and chronic absenteeism did not improve. The average student attendance was 93.39% which was a decrease from the 2015-16 school year. Our chronic absenteeism increased significantly to 23% which is a 3.1% increase from the 2015-16 school year. The district continues to maintain a zero for our expulsion and dropout rate.
