A list of the matriculated students from our region may be found on page 4. A record 2,606 applicants applied to Harvard College from Southern California for the Class of 2016. 148 local students were admitted to Harvard College. For the first time in recent memory, according to Marsha Hirano-Nakanishi, the Club's Vice Chair for Schools, our region's admit rate of 5.6% approximated the nation- al admit rate. Harvard College continues to attract and admit a diverse mix of students from our region. Entering Harvard freshmen from Southern California graduated from high schools with a tradition of sending high school students (Harvard-Westlake, Polytechnic, Brentwood, Palos Verdes, Santa Monica, etc.), but students also appeared from schools that may not have sent many students to Harvard College recently, including Arcadia, Franklin, Burbank, Birmingham, California Academy of Math and Science, Eagle Rock, Magnolia, and Manual Arts, according to Hirano-Nakanishi. The high interest in Harvard College from Southland students means that the Club needs to recruit large numbers of local alumni interviewers. “Harvard is anticipating another record year for applications this year, and we expect Southern California to exceed last year's record level of interview requests,” said Dan Medina, the Club's Vice President for Schools. “Admissions views the alumni interview as a critical component of a candidate's application, making it crucial for our area to have sufficient numbers of interviewers to meet the demands of the applicant pool,” he said. Alumni interested in serving as interviewers of candidates for admission to Harvard College should contact Dan Medina, the Club's Vice President for Schools, at [email protected]. Both undergraduate and graduate alumni of Harvard University are welcome to serve as interviewers. Harvard (Virtual) Tennis Club Recap and Next Event Harvard (Virtual) Tennis Club Makes Debut!

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.

  • Birmingham Community Charter School Management Letter
    April 25, 2012 Marsha Coates, CEO/Principal Birmingham Community Charter High School 17000 Haynes Street Lake Balboa, CA 91406 Dear Chief Executive Officer Coates: The purpose of this management letter is to confirm the observations and recommendations developed by the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) in providing immediate assistance to the Birmingham Community Charter High School as requested in your letter of December 2, 2011. The charter high school requested that FCMAT conduct an on-site review of the calculations utilized in the conversion process according to SB 319. Specifically, the study agreement specifies that the scope and objectives of this study are as follows: Birmingham Community Charter High School (BCCHS) is requesting the FCMAT team to review the calculations utilized by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to convert the high school to a charter school as of July 1, 2009 pursuant to Education Code section 47600(c). The FCMAT team will evaluate the calculations performed by LAUSD to determine if they are in compliance with the intent of Section 47600(c) and incorrectly reduced BCCHS’s entitle- ment per pupil by over $4 million per year. The FCMAT team will conduct a review of the District’s documented actual expenditures for Birmingham High School for the 2008-09 fiscal year and the District’s calculations of BCCHS’s general fund entitlement for the 2009-10 fiscal year and make recommendations. FCMAT visited the charter school on January 11, 2012, February 14, 2012 and March 2, 2012 to meet with the CEO/principal and financial support provider.

  • A Formula for Failure in L.A. Schools Because They Can't Pass Algebra, Thousands of Students Are Denied Diplomas
    HE VANISHING CLASS – Part 2 Page 1 of 11 A Formula for Failure in L.A. Schools Because they can't pass algebra, thousands of students are denied diplomas. Many try again and again -- but still get Fs. By Duke Helfand Times Staff Writer January 30, 2006 Each morning, when Gabriela Ocampo looked up at the chalkboard in her ninth-grade algebra class, her spirits sank. There she saw a mysterious language of polynomials and slope intercepts that looked about as familiar as hieroglyphics. She knew she would face another day of confusion, another day of pretending to follow along. She could hardly do long division, let alone solve for x. "I felt like, 'Oh, my God, what am I going to do?' " she recalled. Gabriela failed that first semester of freshman algebra. She failed again and again — six times in six semesters. And because students in Los Angeles Unified schools must pass algebra to graduate, her hopes for a diploma grew dimmer with each F. Midway through 12th grade, Gabriela gathered her textbooks, dropped them at the campus book room and, without telling a soul, vanished from Birmingham High School. Her story might be just a footnote to the Class of 2005 except that hundreds of her classmates, along with thousands of others across the district, also failed algebra. Of all the obstacles to graduation, algebra was the most daunting. The course that traditionally distinguished the college-bound from others has denied vast numbers of students a high school diploma. "It triggers dropouts more than any single subject," said Los Angeles schools Supt.

  • City of Malibu's Petition for Unification
    CITY OF MALIBU’S PETITION FOR UNIFICATION OF A NEW MALIBU UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM SANTA MONICA-MALIBU UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT EDUCATION CODE § 35700 et seq Executive Summary The City of Malibu (“City”) has submitted a petition for unification (“Petition”) to the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization (“County Committee”) because the Malibu City Council and Malibu students, parents, and residents strongly feel it is in the best interest of the entire Malibu community to separate from the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (“SM-MUSD” or “District”) and form a new, independent Malibu Unified School District (“MUSD”). Malibu area students have been denied the quality of education they deserve. With separation, both future school districts - MUSD and Santa Monica Unified School District (“SMUSD”) - will achieve greater per student funding and be better suited to address the specific needs of their respective communities. A majority of SM-MUSD students, approximately 85 percent, reside in the Santa Monica area. The SM-MUSD administration focuses on the needs and goals of those students to the detriment of Malibu area students. The rural Malibu community is very different than the urban Santa Monica community, and Malibu students’ needs are not being met under the current school district structure. Further, Malibu residents do not have local control due to the relative size of the Malibu voter base as compared to the Santa Monica voter base. Unification is the only solution that will enable Malibu-area residents to determine how to best educate our their students. Everyone agrees separation should occur. “[C]onsensus has been reached by It is not practical for these two communities – Malibu and Santa Monica – to be joined together.

  • 1 in 4 California High School Students Drop Out, State Says Page 1 of 3
    Los Angeles Times: 1 in 4 California high school students drop out, state says Page 1 of 3 http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-dropout17-2008jul17,0,1269326.story From the Los Angeles Times 1 in 4 California high school students drop out, state says Using a new system for tracking dropouts, California discloses a rate considerably higher than previously reported. About 1 in 3 students in Los Angeles Unified left school. By Mitchell Landsberg and Howard Blume Los Angeles Times Staff Writers July 17, 2008 Deploying a long-promised tool to track high school dropouts, the state released numbers Wednesday estimating that 1 in 4 California students -- and 1 in 3 in Los Angeles -- quit school. The rates are considerably higher than previously acknowledged but lower than some independent estimates. The figures are based on a new statewide tracking system that relies on identification numbers that were issued to California public school students beginning in fall 2006. The ID numbers allow the state Department of Education to track students who leave one school and enroll in another in California, even if it is in a different district or city. In the past, the inability to accurately track such students gave schools a loophole, allowing them to say that departing students had transferred to another school when, in some cases, they had dropped out. The new system -- which will cost $33 million over the next three years, in addition to the millions spent for the initial development -- promises to eventually provide a far better way to understand where students go, and why.
