More information about SARC requirements is available at the California Department of Education (CDE) Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. For additional information about the school, please contact the school principal or the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE). Principal s Message Gerber Jr./Sr. High School is a community school dedicated to providing students with significant opportunities to become successful and to help them realize their greatest potential. In an effort to support student success, we provide students with a curriculum that integrates academic and career technical standards, hands-on projects, and lessons that are rigorous in content and relevant to the student. While the primary focus is academic success, teachers and staff realize that before learning can take place, the deeper issues that prevented student success in the past must be addressed. Teachers rely on data driven instruction designed to accelerate learning based on each student s individual strengths. Gerber Jr./Sr. High School is a small campus setting with a modified schedule allowing staff to establish close, trusting relationships, and provide support one student at a time. LINKS (Leadership, Innovation, Navigating Choices, Keeping Promises, Superior Preparation) is the philosophy underlying our program s success. Each student is encouraged to participate in mentoring, on campus support groups, guest speaker presentations, assemblies, field trips, vocational goal setting and career exploration activities, and academic tutoring. ~ Sharon Barnes School Description and Mission Gerber Jr./Sr. High School has been in operation since 2006. It functions as a community school of the Sacramento County Office of Education. The site serves public school students in grades 7-12 who are referred by a School District, the Probation Department, or School Attendance Review Board (SARB). Students typically transition back to their home district after one or two successful semesters and completion of district placement requirements; some students complete their education at Gerber Jr./Sr. High School with a high school diploma or by passing a California high school equivalency exam. Parental/Guardian Involvement Research has proven that strong parental involvement leads to student success at school. Parents/guardians are encouraged to become involved and can contact Gerber Jr./Sr. High School for additional information regarding becoming a member of the School Site Council or participating in other school events and district advisory meetings. For more information on parent involvement, contact Principal Sharon Barnes at 916-228-2329. David W. Gordon Sacramento County Superintendent of Schools Matthew Perry, Ed.D.

The manual contains information on emergency procedures, hostage situations, natural disasters, acts of violence, as well as health and safety issues. The school s staff and students participate in regularly scheduled evacuation drills. Safety practices and procedures are reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Suspensions and Expulsions Suspension rates are calculated by dividing the unduplicated number of students suspended by the unduplicated number of students enrolled. Students are not expelled from SCOE court or community schools.

SCOE s local accountability measures include indicators of learning readiness, academic achievement, and educational transition. The learning readiness indicator is measured through the use of attendance data. The academic achievement indicators were measured with the Renaissance Learning tests in reading and mathematics and through credits earned. The educational transition indicator is measured through successful transitions either through high school graduation or completion of a high school equivalency test, or return to another high school.
