Lodi Unified School District What’s the Purpose of This Plan? The District’s current budgetary crisis provided us a unique opportunity to implement administrative reductions at the central office without changing our direction to strategically and systemically improve student performance and eliminate the achievement gap. Therefore, the Educational Services Division is proposing to restructure the Curriculum and Instruction Department to:  Streamline direct services provided to the school sites to further sharpen our focus in achieving the goals outlined in the District Program Improvement Plan  Monitor the implementation and support of a Pre-K-12/Adult standards- based curriculum for all students  Provide an articulated instructional delivery system  Promote a collective responsibility of the entire District instructional staff to address the educational needs of all children at each grade level 1

Lodi Unified School District How are Program Administrator Positions Funded? Categorical The program administrators are fully funded with Categorical Resources Resources allocated for this purpose. Categorical guidelines provide up to 15% of their allocation to be used for administrative purposes to perform the following mandated tasks : Coordinate program activities and monitor implementation Adhere to compliance regulations and reporting requirements Prepare required documents and collect data to secure funding Collect and analyze disaggregated student achievement data results Ensure that the allocated funds are being used for its intended purpose and establish accountability procedures Communicate with the school community on how the funds are being distributed and used to improve teaching and learning Perform other administrative tasks necessary for the successful implementation of the programs 5

Lodi Unified School District The Bottom Line The current and proposed District instructional staffing allocation is responsive to our fiscal realities while continuing to focus on our mission to significantly improve student achievement. Our support services to the school sites will be realigned to: Maximize our ability to systemically and effectively support schools Streamline our operation and allocation of resources Achieve the District Program Improvement goals outlined in our Local Educational Agency Plan Adhere to State and Federal compliance requirements Preserve financial resources to further meet student needs To accomplish these tasks, a request is being made to hire two program administrators in the Curriculum and Instruction Department to assist with accomplishing some of the tasks that were performed previously by six curriculum coordinators and their respective administrative secretaries. 6
