Guests/Parents

  1. Opening

  1. Welcome and Roll Call

  2. Norms

  3. Public Comment

  4. Information 

    1. Council Purpose

    2. 2.1 Review District Uniform Complaint Procedure (UPC)

      • No questions about this from the SSC

    3. 2.2 LCAP/LEA/SPSA Goals

      • The three LCAP goals will stay the same (set at the district level) but the SPSA goals will likely change. The SPSA goals are being written for us, but we will decide on programs and allocation of funds under each goal.

      • The district is gathering a lot of data about our school performance over the last year that they will put into the SPSA

      • We will go into the SPSA in detail in the next month or two

      • Submission to the board is in November, so we must review as SSC before then. 

      • Ask for SSC: please review these as you receive them so that you’re ready to discuss them at the upcoming SSC.

    4. English Learners (Kristy)

      • Have tried over the past few years to build EL Advisory Committees but only a few parents showed up. While parents have showed up, no one is interested in being an officer on the EL Advisory Council

      • As such, SSC can represent the ELAC. It will be on the agenda for each SSC and Kristy will give updates

      • We have a similar number of EL students at our school (~30). The district has done initial tests, mostly for kindergarten students. Anyone who indicates that they speak another language at home gets a test.

      • We have 5 students who will be reclassified (tested with enough English proficiency to not need to continue testing)

      • District Family Engagement Committee is being put together for parents and students who are ELs

      • Are we hitting our LCAP goal of moving ahead one level each year? Generally yes, however there is intersectionality with disabilities that may be impacting these results

      • What about reclassification within 5 years? Generally happens but the same issues exist as above with disabilities. If we believe it’s not a language issue and is a learning issue, we can talk to the combined support team to determine if they should be reclassified.

  5. Action 

    1. Election of officers

      • Mary-Elizabeth has one more year as chair

      • Christine volunteers again for vice-chair

      • Gina volunteers again as secretary

      • Motion by Mary-Elizabeth, seconded by Roger, unanimously passed

    2. Calendar of meetings

      • Meetings are 10/18, 11/15, 1/24/2022, 2/28, 3/21, 4/11, 5/16
