Stakeholder Group Meeting March 19, 2015 MUHSD District Office Board Room Tammie Calzadillas, Ed.D.

Review The first meeting of the year was held on We reviewed the process and discussed how the LCAP was developed Established common vocabulary

Metrics The LCAP requires districts to describe specific goals, actions and/or strategies that will be used in order to meet the goals of the district. The goals include the eight state priority areas. Measures may be quantitative or qualitative.

8 State Priorities State Priority Area: Basic Services – What does that mean? All students have access to teachers who are fully credentialed in their subject areas Instructional materials are aligned with State Standards Safe, properly maintained school facilities are an expectation

How do we measure success? Teachers are Highly Qualified Declaration of sufficient instructional materials September Board Meeting Williams Reports/Facility Reports

8 State Priorities State Priority: Student Achievement – What does this mean? Improving outcomes for all students Outcomes are more than test scores Student achievement is measured in many ways such as test score, English proficiency rates, as well as college and career readiness A focused and collaborative school community working together for the best possible outcomes

How do we measure success? Typically this has been measured via a standardized test (CST) California English Language Development Test (CELDT) California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)

Academic Performance Index Overall California schools dropped from an API score of 791 to 789. The transition to the Common Core State Standards was the primary reason given for the drop in scores. Several successive years of budget cuts contributed to the decline in scores
