UPDATE Week of March 10, 2008 REAL INNOVATION IS TAKING PLACE at RAMONA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s UPDATE Week of March 10, 2008 REAL INNOVATION IS TAKING PLACE AT RAMONA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Ramona Elementary School was highlighted in a front-page story in the Sunday, March 9, 2008, edition of the Los Angeles Times. Ramona instituted the innovative Singapore Mathematics Program to address the needs of its K-5 student population. Math scores had been lagging, as in other schools, so Robin Ramos, Math Coach, with the support of the faculty and the leadership of Susan Arcaris, Principal, searched for a program that had a proven record of high achievement. They discovered in their research that students in Singapore schools were among the highest achieving math students in the world. With this analysis, they instituted the same mathematics program at Ramona three years ago. Since then, the math scores have skyrocketed to the point where the school, a Title I high-achieving school, has produced test results significantly above the District and State averages. Seven out of every ten students are either proficient in, or advanced in mathematics. AALA congratulates Principal Arcaris, Math Coach Ramos, as well as the teachers, staff, parents, and students at Ramona for the innovative way that they addressed a very real educational problem. We find it interesting that it did not take a new division to accomplish this success. In fact, there is innovation going on daily in the Los Angeles Unified School District where school administrators and teachers are solving problems related to teaching and learning. Our schools are problem-solving institutions unlike the “Top-Down” Innovation Division. AALA hopes that Superintendent David L. Brewer and the members of the Board of Education would heed this lesson and fully support grass roots innovation occurring at school sites. It is more than just irony that an Innovation Division was established with a very limited scope. The implication is that a school can only be innovative if anointed by the “Division.” This is a fallacy that must be debunked. Ramona Elementary School stands as a shining testament to the fact that teachers led by a respected principal can and will solve learning problems for their students if they feel empowered to do so. Superintendent Brewer should not be cloning the mathematics program, but rather he should be extolling the courage of the Ramona community to swim against the tide and try something new that they thoroughly researched. This is the real empowerment and lesson from this success. And, of course, if a school is looking for a new mathematics program, the Singapore Math Program may be a fit. Don't invent a new wheel, just find what works, and do it! Our schools are the real initiators of innovation. AALA wonders if all the Mayor’s partnership administrators will be taking the next plane to Singapore. Or, maybe they will just visit Ramona Elementary in nearby Hollywood. A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s WHO DO YOU TRUST? Trust is a basic attribute in any personal relationship. When trust is not present, cynicism and suspicion become pervasive. The same is true in a management structure; if trust is not present, self-protection will replace motivation and productivity. AALA believes that trust is lacking in the Los Angeles Unified School District. When principals are reticent to approach their immediate supervisors and local district superintendents with problems and concerns, that is a trust issue. When school administrators have unclear lines of communication, that is a trust issue. When principals and assistant principals are called to redundant “meetings,” that is a trust issue. When local district offices listen to complaints from parents and staff and serve as their advocate before knowing the facts from the perspective of the administrator, that is a trust issue. A good management structure values its managerial team and has confidence in the team's ability to make decisions consistent with institutional policy. To use a metaphor, principals should be like the captains of naval vessels. They have guidelines, but they are authorized to use their judgment when making command decisions. A truly well-run institution that values trust should have no more than three layers of line-staff authority. In LAUSD the line-staff authority should be Superintendent to Local District Superintendent to Principal. Any other extraneous staff positions should report through this chain of command. All other divisions, branches, departments, etc., merely serve as support staff. Trust is a two-way street, and it must be earned. AALA hopes that an institution the size of LAUSD can develop trusting relationships so that the hard work of teaching and learning can be respected. The Superintendent and the Board of Education need to answer for themselves the fundamental question, who do you trust. AALA members will also be asking that question. "Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." Malcolm X 2 A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s LOCAL MAGNET SCHOOL RECEIVES MERIT AWARD Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies (Robert Weinberg, Principal) has been named a National Magnet School of Distinction by the national organization Magnet Schools of America. School representatives will be honored at the 26th Magnet Schools of America Conference hosted by the Hamilton County School District in Chattanooga, Tennessee. School representatives will receive a plaque during the awards ceremony. They are the only winner from California this year and the first winner from the Los Angeles Unified School District (Local District 1). The award is based on a commitment to high academic standards, curriculum innovation, successful desegregation/diversity efforts, and the consistent delivery of quality services to all school stakeholders. Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies believes in a rigorous standards-based instruction curriculum that all students can learn, high expectations for all students, and all students should be prepared for whatever the 21st Century brings in the way of occupations, career paths, postsecondary education or life. Their students are exposed to a rigorous curriculum that ranges from 4th grade to 12th grade, with students from all areas of the school district. With 44% of the students eligible for the Federal Lunch Program and a diverse population of ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, cultures, and neighborhoods, SOCES has won the California Distinguished School Award in 2005, California Title I Academic Achievement Awards in 2006 and 2007, Silver Medal for the US News and World Report (Top 3% of high schools in the country), and the Newsweek.com top 500 Schools in America Award. Their API score of 845 is the highest of all Middle and High schools in the LA Unified School District. With an emphasis on Closing the Achievement Gap, their scores for all populations are some of the highest in the state. Caroline Massengill, President of the Magnet Schools of America, will present the Magnet School of Distinction Award during the national conference, which runs from April 28-May 1, 2008, at the Chattanooga Trade and Convention Center. The awards presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, April 30. Attendees will include more than 1000 school administrators and teachers from magnet schools and districts across the nation. Magnet schools were initially developed during the 1970s as a strategy to eliminate the inequity of segregation in public schools across America. Specially designed curriculum with unique educational themes was placed in minority-dominated schools to attract majority students to improve the racial balance of the schools and to increase the quality of education.

The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.

    Metropolitan Transportation Authority One Gateway Plaza 213.922.2000 Tel Los Angeles, CA 90012-2952 metro. net 29 æ Metro OPERATIONS COMMITTEE AUGUST 17,2006 SUBJECT: METRO BUS SERVICE NEAR SCHOOLS ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE RECOMMENDATION Receive and file report on the adequacy of Metro bus service on routes serving twelve schools and safety issues at Metro bus stops serving schools. ISSUE At the May 25, 2006 meeting, the Board of Directors requested staff to report back on whether there is adequate Metro bus service to safely and effciently transport students on routes serving the following twelve schools: . Belmont High School . Los Angeles High School . Fremont High School . Markham Middle School . Gardena High School . Santee High School . Jefferson High School . Van Nuys High School . Jordan High School . Washington Prep High School . Locke High School . Crenshaw High School Additionally, the Board directed staff to work with the Office of the Mayor, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Department of Transportation to identifY safety issues at bus stops near schools and report back on potential solutions. DISCUSSION Metro bus and rail lines are heavily utilzed by thousands of students going to and from school in the morning and afternoon. These sudden bursts of student customers can cause overloads on the lines. In response to overloads that tyically occur at the start of and the end of the school day, Metro adds bus "tripper" service. As a recipient of Federal Transit Administration grants, Metro is prohibited from providing transportation for students and school personnel if it excludes the general public or competes with private school operators.
