San Ramon Valley residents are set to have the chance Tuesday (June 10) to comment on the school district’s proposed plan for accomplishing top-priority improvement goals during the next three years.
The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) must outline the district’s objectives and ways to assess its progress under California’s new Local Control Funding Formula.
The 2014-15 draft LCAP describes goals, actions, services and expenditures aimed at enhancing the district in priority areas such as maintaining facilities and fully credentialed teachers, parent involvement, school climate, course access, implementation of Common Core State Standards, and student achievement, engagement and outcomes.
The public hearing on the proposed LCAP is among roughly a dozen items for the San Ramon Valley school board’s open-session meeting, scheduled to start at 7 p.m. inside the boardrooms at 699 Old Orchard Drive in Danville.
The draft LCAP is listed as a discussion-only item on Tuesday’s agenda, with the board set to discuss final approval during its June 24 meeting.
In other business Tuesday, the school board will hold a public hearing for the proposed 2014-15 district budget.
As drafted by district staff, the proposed budget anticipates $265.3 million in total general fund revenues in 2014-15, an increase of 4.7% compared to the current year. The draft calls for $260.9 million in overall general fund expenditures, a rise of 3.6%.
The budget hearing is for public discussion purposes only. Board members are scheduled to discuss final adoption of the 2014-15 budget on June 24.
The school board on Tuesday will also debate setting new boundaries for Dougherty Valley elementary school attendance areas.
The option recommended by district staff would place students from planned future neighborhoods as well as several existing communities at the new Dougherty Valley elementary campus, expected to open in fall 2016.
Any children living in the affected existing neighborhoods and currently enrolled at another school would be able to stay at their school through fifth grade, under staff’s proposal.
The recommendation also calls for all Dougherty Valley students in transitional kindergarten (TK) and the Academic Talent Program (ATP) for fourth- and fifth-graders to attend the new campus.
Board members will consider memorandums of understanding with the San Ramon Valley Education Association in the areas of teacher evaluation procedures, discipline less than dismissal, leaves, Public Charges Task Force, Common Core Consulting Committee, and assignment, reassignment and transfer.
The school board will also review proposed revisions to the policies and administrative regulations covering school-sponsored trips and transportation for school-related trips.
The Discovery Counseling Center will give a presentation. Additionally, the board will recognize winners of the district’s 39th annual speech contest.
