Our school’s strategy to maintain a positive SCHOOL CLIMATE:

Our Goal: To create a campus environment that supports the mission and vision of the school and district: essentially, “to develop tolerance for the diversity of others, to develop personal growth, academic proficiency, community responsibility and employability skills”.

Areas of pride:

Academic · Strong academic environment: Vanden’s 2011 API score was 832 ranking it first out of 18 high schools in Solano County. In 2009 Awarded Distinguished School. · Student awards ceremonies for seniors and underclassman at the end of the year. · Renaissance program that acknowledges both academic achievements and character growth in students whose performance has improved on the STAR test. · National Honor Society rewards students with excellent academic and community service achievements · Provide continuous communication with parents and students regarding attendance, grades and graduation status through Aeries Home2School. · Working towards closing the achievement gap of Vanden’s struggling students through a comprehensive, on-going Response to Intervention (RTI) Program. Our subgroups, African American and Latino, showed significant growth in closing the achievement gap, although the struggle continues. · Visual and performing arts won an Art award this year. · General education and special education teachers coordinate with students and parents to provide coordinated academic support for struggling students. · Peer Tutoring program provides academic support for students in all subjects.  There are procedures in place for emotionally disserted (ED) students on campus. Teachers receive a copy of the behavior support plan; the behavior plans must be followed as written first, and if students continue to be unsafe, our Ed teacher, his aide, both assistant principals, and all campus monitors are trained in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) procedures.  New policy on academic integration and cheating promotes teacher reporting and discourages students from cheating.

Extracurricular/Organizational · Vanden is a campus where many students in different groups co-mingle and accept each other despite differences. · Variety of athletic, extracurricular and co curricular program. Also an increase in the number of campus clubs. · Award-winning music, visual and performing arts, robotics, virtual enterprise, academic decathlon and JROTC programs.

28

· Student handbook that clearly outlines expected behavior and consequences coupled with informative presentations ensure behavior expectations and consequences are clear and thoroughly understood. · Saturday school program that provides a consequence for students who fail to meet expectations. · Use of positive behavior contracts and behavior support plans resulting from collaboration with parents, teachers, and students. · Attendance personnel that work with administration to support the truancy policy and monitor absences and tardies, making students responsible and accountable for their behavior. · A single lunch period decreases the number of tardies and class cuts and increases the availability of student access to club meetings, teachers, and other school activities. · Established and successful conflict management program intervenes when students have disagreements in order to prevent escalation of problems. · Site safety committee that meets regularly to examine potential problems and recommend solutions to district and school personnel. · Continual use of an electronic marquee to provide information to all community members about upcoming events. Student council promotes school involvement by sponsoring a variety of activities such as spirit weeks, lunchtime activities, and rewards for excellence of the students and staff. Class recruitment is an attempt to encourage more of the student body to get involved with their class and school in general. · Visual staff presence during passing periods and lunch; accessibility of staff before school, during lunch, and after school. · Teacher websites allow for continued communication with students and parents · Distribution and discussion of nuts and bolts to promote greater consistency in rule enforcement and managing student behavior. · Surveillance cameras to monitor activities on campus during school and after hours to help prevent mischief and vandalism. · Signature practice of shared decision-making, exceptional leadership team visibility and transparency. · Breakfast meal service is offered to a number of students each day. · Students create mural and other art exhibitions to beautify the campus environment year-round. · Cleaner campus resulting from increased recycling efforts. · All soda and sugar drinks machines removed: only water, juice, and sports drinks are offered, along with fundraising programs that promote healthier foods. · Provide after-school opportunities for staff and students to increase physical fitness. · Suspensions reduced from levels in previous years.

29

Community · Reputation in the community for having a structured environment that provides students with the readiness for college. · Strong AFJROTC program provides students with links to the business community. · Strong Virtual Enterprise program provides structural leadership environment · Parental and community involvement in school activities such as fundraisers, Sober Grad Night, and several booster organizations. · Partnership with Solano community college to provide paths to fulfill academic requirements and provide enrichment.

Areas of improvement: · Increase the number of trained staff members in CPR and first aid. · Explore the possibility of having an AED unit on campus and have staff trained in its use. · Continue to promote a cleaner exterior campus as well as clean and safe building interiors · Continue efforts towards reducing the number of fights, theft, profanity and drug use on campus with the continuous help from conflict management, ROSP officer, campus monitors and teachers and staff. · Improve student nutrition: enforce the wellness plan. · Administration, teachers, and staff will enforce school rules consistently. · Staff development that supports continual growth and education for staff in safety related matters. · Encourage clubs to complete their school service project by hosting a campus clean-up or support for the safety committee. · Increase emotional safety and professionalism by creating professional communication expectations among staff members as well as between student and staff through the use of mutual respect and just listening to each other. · Continue to improve awareness and effectiveness of the WETIP gang awareness program.

Our School’s Strategy to maintain a positive PHYSICAL CLIMATE:

School Grounds: Vanden High School is located on 42 acres. There are 3 parking lots surrounding the buildings. Athletic fields include 4 softball fields, 2 baseball fields, tennis courts, and a football stadium with track. There are additional sports facilities at Golden West available for use including a soccer practice field, softball field and half mile track..

School Buildings and Classrooms: The buildings include Administration/Little Theater/Counseling Office (Z), A, C, E, F1, F2, S, H, M, N, P Q, R classrooms, band room, snack bar, D cafeteria/ASB Accounts Office, Library, K Auto Shop, L Portables, Shubin Building, B Multi-purpose bldg, and G Gymnasium.

Internal Security Procedures: Vanden High School currently has 2 full time (8 hour ) campus monitors and 3 part-time campus monitors. There is also a Fairfield Police Department School Resource Officer (SRO), who is shared among Vanden High School, Golden West Middle School, and Travis Education Center. The SRO makes his office on the Vanden High School campus. The SRO and the campus monitors have walkie-talkies for communication between themselves and the school administration.

In 2007- 08 security cameras were added to the campus to aide supervision during school and after hours. Additional security lighting and fencing was added as well to enhance monitoring procedures. In 2010, additional cameras were installed to expand coverage areas, infrared generators were added for low light areas and recording in black/white at nighttime.

Our Goal: To work as a school/community to maintain the current physical environment and to improve and expand the facilities to accommodate growth.

Areas of Pride:  The custodial staff promptly removes graffiti on exterior walls, tables and restroom areas.  Completion of 6 new classroom wings and other facility restoration during 2006- 2007.  New student parking lot (2007)  Landscaping and improved grounds around new wings  Upgraded emergency alarm system and PA system (2006)  Restoration of multi-purpose room  Access to substitutes for campus monitors when they are absent.  Security cameras added in (2008). Additional cameras (2009-2010).  Increased security lighting on campus (2008). Additional lighting with automated controls and internet monitoring (2010).  New football stadium facility (turf and fencing for safety)  New stadium lighting; brighter and more energy efficient (2010)  New track surface and event stations 31

 New storage areas for athletics  Resurfacing of the tennis courts / new fencing and bleachers  Removal of all lockers that were obstructing views and walkways (2009)  Added lighting in Quad area, beside Shubin and North side of Tennis Courts (2010)  New CAD facility (2010)  Updated/remodeled climate control in Administrative buildings, Gymnasium and S complex  Proactive measures prior to rainy season; cleaned gutters and completed numerous blacktop projects to remove dirt areas (2010)  Successfully redesigned procedures near Athletic Stadium to allow for an additional 100 parking spaces (2011)  Additional signage on buildings identifying building names (2011)

Desired Changes:  Upgrade the Shubin building  Support restoration of custodial services  Continue assessment of safety issues of old facilities and grounds (e.g. leaking ceilings, missing weather stripping, doors leaking, birds and bees in the classrooms)  Expand hours of campus monitors, increase staffing of campus monitors  Accessibility improvements to facilities: Thresholds, Door handles, and Sinks.  Establish reasonable climate control in buildings for all seasons  Post signs by class phones so students understand how to request emergency services (e.g. contact school secretary to call 911).

GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES: 1. If a disaster were to strike during school hours, our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of our students. We can expect student flight and panic to some degree, however, most students will look to us for their safety and proper actions in a disaster. As staff and professionals, we must set the example of calm and fight the “flight” urge.

2. Due to the fact that most of us have our own families and our concern for them will be great, once we have established control here, we will initiate a relief system. This system will allow certain employees to leave, unite with their loved ones, take care of things, and then return (if requested) to relieve others to do the same until all of our students have been united with their families.

Making an uninformed Survivors, victims' families, and local citizens will look to the declaration about information can be empowering for school for leadership. Its presence will help calm fears and frightened individuals. Crises are fertile ground for rumors, rumor mongering. and rumors are unfortunately self-perpetuating.

Phone Line Jams Use combination two-way radio/cell phones and if possible Natural disasters and major news making events can create keep one line open to the district office. If a connection is massive phone traffic, jamming cellular connections. made, don't hang up, just put the phone down for use later.

Media Intrusion Determine and maintain a perimeter around the school that School crises can create a crush of media, often making it media may not cross. Ask for law enforcement help in hard to distinguish parents and students from journalists. policing violators. Violators may later be denied access to Helicopters and cameras stationed outside the school official school or law enforcement briefings. provide live coverage that can put many lives at risk.

Scattering of Schools and School Staff Establish pre-identified locations (reunion areas) that Acting on instinct, staff and students facing danger flee the students and staff should retreat to in the event of an building, often not knowing where they are running.

Recent disasters have spawned effective people (and even pet) locator systems that often involve Internet communication.

Media Mistakes Fact verification. Establish trust before the crisis strikes. Provide as much In the absence of information and the pressure of live information as you can as quickly as you can without coverage, verification of facts is often sacrificed for good speculating or releasing unverified information.

Communications: Challenges and Suggested Responses

Challenge Response Day One Rumor Control Clear and frequent communication. Crisis communicators A common reaction to fear is to generate rumors or stories to should be involved, visible, and convey leadership. fill in information that is not available. Making an uninformed Survivors, victims' families, and local citizens will look to the declaration about information can be empowering for school for leadership. Its presence will help calm fears and frightened individuals. Crises are fertile ground for rumors, rumor mongering. and rumors are unfortunately self-perpetuating.

Helicopters and cameras stationed outside the school provide live coverage that can put many lives at risk.

Natural disasters can about dispersed colleagues and students. disperse children, families, and entire communities. Recent disasters have spawned effective people (and even pet) locator systems that often involve Internet communication.

Media Mistakes Fact verification. Establish trust before the crisis strikes. Provide as much In the absence of information and the pressure of live information as you can as quickly as you can without coverage, verification of facts is often sacrificed for good speculating or releasing unverified information. Even if all pictures and sound. you can say are a few sketchy sentences, you can communicate your concern and compassion and the action being taken to investigate.

GUIDELINES FOR LIGHT SEARCH AND RESCUE

1. Never conduct a search and rescue alone. Work with a partner. Plan your search. Do not wander without a pattern. 2. Before you enter each building, feel the top and bottom of the front door with the back of your hand. If it is hot, do not enter. If it is cool, cautiously open the door. Repeat this process every time you come to a closed door. 3. Check the doorjamb, the wall, and the ceiling for cracks and splinters. If the house appears unsafe, do not enter. 4. Enter the room low, preferably on your knees. Be alert. Be aware that there may be aftershocks. 5. While still in the entry way, sniff for the odor of natural gas. If you do smell gas, open the front and back doors and as many windows as you can, without going inside, to provide ventilation. Enter the house only when the smell of gas is gone. 6. While still in the entry way, loudly call out, "Is anyone here?" Listen for a response. If someone answers, ask them to tell you where they are, and what type of help they need. If you don't hear anything, call out that anyone trapped should make some kind of noise. Pause occasionally during the entire search to listen for cries, moans, thumping and/or banging and other indicators of someone needing help. 7. If it is dark, slowly sweep each room with your flashlight before going in. Check the floor and the ceiling of the area you are in for hazards-holes, fallen beams, or glass. 8. Systematically search each room. Stay with your partner and communicate often. Pay careful attention to areas under desks, behind furniture, inside closets, under stairs, and under sinks and restrooms. 9. If it is dark, keep in contact with the wall. It is easy to become disoriented. Should you become confused about your location, following the wall will eventually lead you back to the original door. 10. If you find an injured person, determine, to the best of your ability, the nature of her/his injuries. If no spinal injuries are evident, move the victim to the first aid providers for assessment. 11. Mark the front of each building when you finish to let others know you have searched it. 12. If your attempts to rescue others are obviously beyond your physical capacity or skill, and might jeopardize your life, we recommend these rescues be left for the professionals. Sometimes it takes wisdom and courage to wait for help

Operations Maintenance/Fire Group Responsibilities This Group is responsible for recognizing, isolating and possibly mitigating hazards or potential hazards after a disaster has occurred. For the best possible outcome during and after a disaster the Maintenance/Fire Group (MFG) must feel comfortable in locating utility supplies and shutting them off during a disaster. The MFG will work directly under the Operations Leader and assist responding police and fire personnel in locating hazards. Personnel John Poe and Sherman Martinez

Group Members: Mark Nowag Merope Leano Doug Green Larry Sepulvida Rick Trefz

Team Assembly Inside: Location Outside Team members will initially meet at the inside location. If the inside location is unavailable, team members will meet at the outside location. Start-up Action  Establish communications with the Operations Leader. This communications can be face to face or by radio.  Give Ops Leader your location and plan of action to check damaged utilities (gas lines, electrical boxes, water mains)  Gain access to the proper tools necessary to accomplish plan of action and a map identifying the location of utilities. Operational  Execute plan and report findings of damaged utilities or other hazards. Report any Duties injured or trapped individuals to the Operations Leader so search and rescue can be dispatched.  Shut off any utilities that have been damaged ONLY if you can accomplish it in a safe manner.  If utilities are damaged beyond repair, establish a perimeter around the area and deny entry to everyone except trained disaster workers. Once a perimeter is established, other staff members may be given the duty of denying access to the affected area. This will allow the MFG to continue with their damage control.  If a fire is found during the initial search, first make sure all students and staff members remain clear of the area. Next, notify Operations Leader of the situation. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER ANY BUILDING THAT IS ON FIRE! If fire hoses are available in the area, water may be applied from a safe distance from OUTSIDE of the building.  Shut down the gas and electrical to the affected building and open all gates accessing the building so emergency vehicles will have access when responding. These actions will expedite access for responding emergency crews.  Once the entire campus has been scouted and all hazards have been identified, a face to face report should be given to the Operations Leader. Closing Down  ALL UTILITIES MUST BE PLACED BACK IN SERVICE BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS. Equipment &  Portable Radio Supplies  Tool Box with full complement of tools  Fire Line Tape for restricting area access.  Flashlight/batteries The above guidelines were intentionally left very vague in regards to fire fighting. Unless personnel are trained, and provided with the proper equipment, they are exposing themselves to unnecessary risk. The amount of property that two or three unequipped people can save during a fire situation is not worth the life that must be risked to

95

accomplish this task! Only trained fire fighters with appropriate equipment should attempt enter a building that is on fire or extinguish a fire that may include hazardous materials, including car fires.

Guidelines for Maintenance/Fire Group

ELECTRICAL ISSUES  Locate utilities services. Check to see if electrical service is underground or supplied by overhead wire. If overhead power lines are present, the MFG should do a thorough check of all power lines on campus and the weather head that attaches each line to each building. If findings identify any power line that has fallen or detached itself for any reason, a safety zone of 20 feet in all directions should be established around the affected area. DO NOT TOUCH DOWNED WIRES!  After any disaster where structures were significantly damaged a thorough check of each room may be required. If upon entry there is a smell of smoke, or a burning smell, immediately contact emergency services. Next, shut down the electricity to the effected building. The damage to the building may have caused a short in the wiring circuit. This could allow objects that are in the affected room to conduct current from the wiring and electrocute anyone who may come into contact with them.  It is not always necessary to turn off power to buildings. If no damage has been done and a safety check of every room produces no findings, then the electricity should be left on for heating and cooking purposes.

NATURAL GAS ISSUES  Locate the gas meter and check for any leaks. Most leaks will be created at the spot where the line exits the ground after an earthquake. If there are no signs of a leak, continue to any other meters on campus. If a leak is found, immediately shut off that meter. If this does not stop the leak call for emergency services and establish a perimeter of at least 150 ft around the meter. Deny access to everyone except trained emergency workers. It may be necessary to shut down the natural gas supply to the entire campus if a leak is found and it can not be corrected at the affected meter, but this is a last resort.

WATER LINE ISSUES  Locate the water supply valve usually located in the road way. Water lines should be left alone unless there is a break in a line. Once a line has been broken, the water in the line is now contaminated and can no longer be used for drinking.

FIRE ISSUES  Small fires can be extinguished with a fire extinguisher if the are very small and contained in a non flammable environment. Fires normally double in size every 30 to 45 seconds. Unless someone sees a fire start, and has a fire extinguisher within an arms reach, they should not attempt to extinguish the fire. Fires grow too fast and produce breath taking smoke that will prevent someone from escaping a room unless done so in the early stages of the fire. Bottom line, LEAVE FIRE FIGHTING TO PROFESSIONALS. Evacuate immediately.

Procedures to Notify Teachers of Dangerous Students

At the beginning of every school year, the Student Services office sends an update for each school’s Education Code Infractions binder. The binder contains the names, the number of incidents, the type of incident, and the total days of suspension for students who have violated education code 48900 a-r (with the exception of h), and Education Code 48900.2, 4800.3, 48900.4, and 48900.7. The binder contains records for the past three school years.

Staff members are made aware of the binder through an e-mail through their administrator or at a staff meeting. Teachers can make an appointment with the administrator to review the binder. Administrators keep a checklist of teachers to ensure they have received the information. Administrators are also asked to inform teachers of any student who is enrolling that they know to have violated the Education Code sections listed above.
