California Education Code 35160.1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that school districts, county boards of education, and county superintendents of schools have diverse needs unique to their individual communities and programs. Moreover, in addressing their needs, common as well as unique, school districts, county boards of education, and county superintendents of schools should have the flexibility to create their own unique solutions. (b) In enacting Section 35160, it is the intent of the Legislature to give school districts, county boards of education, and county superintendents of schools broad authority to carry on activities and programs, including the expenditure of funds for programs and activities which, in the determination of the governing board of the school district, the county board of education, or the county superintendent of schools are necessary or desirable in meeting their needs and are not inconsistent with the purposes for which the funds were appropriated. It is the intent of the Legislature that Section 35160 be liberally construed to effect this objective. California Education Code Alternative Education Programs in California 2. Why Continuation High Schools need to be included in the Local Control Funding Formula? !20 To expand the number of “beating-the-odds” schools, the state needs to fund these schools according to a formula that realistically reflects the instructional and academic engagement challenges such schools face.

  • Using MACLA's Map Tool This Paper Presents Examples of Documenting
    Using MACLA’s Map Tool This paper presents examples of documenting, displaying, and discussing the social impact of MACLA through the use of geographic maps. Nine cultural arts organizations, all part of the Space for Change award program administered by Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC)1, participated in this study by providing budgetary data, programming information, and data regarding visitors and programming clientele. We provide examples of how data on community and local support can be mapped geographically and used in various settings from internal management discussions to part of grant applications. The map tool created for MACLA was developed to assist the organization in documenting and articulating its community setting and support. The map tool can be found on MACLA’s ‘front page’ of our web site at http://web.williams.edu/Economics/ArtsEcon/MACLALINC.html. There you will find a MACLA map option with an overlay of Census variables for Santa Clara County, and a map option with an overlay of Census variables for the five mile (local) area around MACLA.2 We offer the choice because one geographic region may be of more interest than the other in writing particular types of reports. Sometimes it would be more useful to show where in the county one is developing partners or attracting participants; other times the local area may be of greater interest. In this paper we will work with the Santa Clara County map, but everything presented here also applies to the 5 mile radius map. We do not provide interpretations of the many interesting aspects of MACLA’s online map here.

  • A Qualitative Case Study of School
    CREATING OPPORTUNITY OUT OF CRISIS: A QUALITATIVE CASE STUDY OF SCHOOL CLOSURE IN AN URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT By Michael Victorino Gallego Santos B.S. (University of California, Davis) 1984 M.S. (California State University, East Bay) 2001 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctorate in Education Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice California State University, East Bay 2013 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Copyright by Michael Victorino Gallego Santos 2013 ! ""! CREATING OPPORTUNITY OUT OF CRISIS: A QUALITATIVE CASE STUDY OF SCHOOL CLOSURE IN AN URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT Abstract The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the implementation of school closure in an urban school district. Oakdale Unified, a pseudonym for a large school district in California, has been beset by fiscal and academic challenges over the past few years. At the height of the crisis, the school district had no recourse but to close schools. This study aspired to learn about the problem by asking research questions related to school closure board policies, school closure processes and criteria, public and community involvement during decision- making, and the consequences arising after closure. In this research, the methodology included the review of board policies, the examination of extant data, and the interview of six purposefully selected individuals. Five major findings were derived from emergent themes: 1) School closure was not clearly stated or defined under board policies, but

  • Retreat's Risky Lessons
    Sunday, June 17, 2018 CHRONICLE INVESTIGATION Gabrielle Lurie / The Chronicle Facilitator Ken Naranja lifts his arms while telling a story to high school students at Camp Everytown in Boulder Creek. “I’ve seen this camp so many times, and every time I believe it’s a miracle. Be part of that miracle,” he would tell them. Retreat’s risky lessons Decades-old ‘leadership’ camps push teens to the brink with unproven, painful methods By Karen de Sá It’s just hours into Camp Diversity, a leadership retreat for high school students, but the warmth of the community circle, “Power of Hugs” exercise and hot chocolate is quickly fading. In a campground hall deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains, 55 teenagers have been ordered to separate by race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. By groups, the children of Silicon Valley engineers and attor- neys, house cleaners and gardeners are sent outside, while their peers are instructed to call out every slur and stereotype they know about them. Some of the Los Altos High students are reluctant, so camp Director Richard Valenzuela urges them on. Middle Easterners are “terrorists — they’re all terrorists!” he shouts. LGBT people are “very de- fective,” he says, prompting the students to chime in with: “Wrong, sinners, faggot, disgusting.” After students choose “good at math” for Asians, Valenzuela turns to their teachers. “Staff, any others?” They add “tiny vaginas” and “small penises” to the list. Students’ labels of “eat watermelon” and “can’t swim” for African Americans don’t go far enough. “Porch monkeys,” “coons,” the adults offer.
