About the SARC By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). 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 http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school at (760) 355-3240 or the district office. 2014-15 Student Enrollment by Grade Level Grade Level Number of Students Grade 6 321 Grade 7 305 Grade 8 292 Total Enrollment 918 2014-15 Student Enrollment by Group Group Percent of Total Enrollment Black or African American 1.7 American Indian or Alaska Native 0.3 Asian 1.1 Filipino 0.9 Hispanic or Latino 77.3 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.1 White 17.9 Two or More Races 0.7 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged 45.5 English Learners 25.7 Students with Disabilities 7.6 Foster Youth 0.3 A.

District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. Cleaning Process and Schedule The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, designed to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. In 2010-11, the district did not allocate additional funds towards the deferred maintenance budget as allowed per statute revisions made by the state legislature at the beginning of the 2009-10 fiscal year. For the 2010-11 the school district approved roof update as the deferred maintenance project. 2014-15 School Accountability Report Card for Frank M. Wright Middle Page 3 of 10

The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school and district staff in the fall, at the start of each school year. The plan was last updated and reviewed with school staff in February 2012. 2014-15 School Accountability Report Card for Frank M. Wright Middle Page 8 of 10
