Revised: 4/23/2018 7:22 PM Schoolsite Council Page 2 of 3 serving 201 students in grades four through eight). The two schools share the same administration and serve the same families in a rural area.

The Big Pine Unified School District is requesting to renew a shared SSC for two small schools: Big Pine Elementary School (10 teachers serving 126 students in kindergarten through grade eight) and Big Pine High School (4 teachers serving 37 students in grades nine through twelve). The Big Pine Unified School District has only two schools with very limited staffing. The schools are located on the same campus in a rural area.

The Carpinteria Unified School District is requesting to renew an SSC composition change for a very small school: Rincon (Continuation) High School (3 teachers serving 25 students in grades nine through twelve). The school serves credit-deficient students from Carpinteria High School and has very limited staffing. It is located in a small city.

The Carpinteria Unified School District is requesting to renew an SSC composition change for a very small school: Carpinteria Family School (3 teachers serving 73 students in kindergarten through grade five). The school is an alternative school and is located in a small city.

The Carpinteria Unified School District is requesting to renew an SSC composition change for a very small school: Summerland Elementary School (3 teachers serving 59 students in kindergarten through grade five). The principal of the school is shared with another school in the district. The school is located in a rural area.

The Hornbrook Elementary School District is requesting to renew an SSC composition change for a small school: Hornbrook Elementary School (4 teachers serving 52 students in kindergarten through grade eight). The school is located in a rural area.

The Junction Elementary School District is requesting an SSC composition change for a small school: Junction Elementary School (13.4 teachers serving 274 students in kindergarten through grade eight). Serving nine different grade levels and with multiple responsibilities, teachers and staff are stretched thin. The school is located in a rural area.

The Sequoia Union Elementary School District is requesting a shared SSC with composition change for two small schools: Sequoia Elementary Charter School (12 teachers serving 290 students in kindergarten through grade seven) and Sequoia Union Elementary School (2 teachers serving 44 students in the eighth grade). The two schools share the same administration and are located on the same campus in a rural area.

SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTION

The CDE has previously presented requests from local educational agencies (LEAs) to waive some of the SSC requirements in EC Section 52863 or to allow one shared SSC for multiple schools. All of these requests have been granted with conditions. The conditions take into consideration the rationale provided by the LEAs, a majority of which are due to the size, type, location, or other capacities of the schools.

Outcome Rationale: The Alveiw-Dairyland Union School District includes two school sites, Alview and Dairyland. The schools are segmented by the grade levels they serve. Alview serves students in grades K-3 while Dairyland serves 4-8 grades. Both of the school sites are governed by the same administration and serve the same families in the same geographical district boundaries. We would like to continue to have one school site council to function for our two rural schools. The local bargaining unit and current site council members, along with the governing board, have approved this waiver request.

Ed Code or CCR to Waive: EC 52852 A school site council shall be established at [each] school which participates in school-based program coordination. The council shall be composed of the principal and representatives of: teachers selected by teachers at the school; other school personnel selected by other school personnel at the school; parents of pupils attending the school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools, pupils selected by pupils attending the school.

Outcome Rationale: Big Pine Unified School District has 163 students with a TK-8 elementary school of 126 students and a high school of 37 students. There is one principal, a part-time superintendent and one main office. There are 14 teachers. All of the school buildings are located at the same address on a single campus. BPUSD has one set of goals that drive the improvement process for all. We are united in our efforts, and because of our size, there is not a differentiation between “school site” and district. We do not have enough staff or community members to form more than one site council.

Requesting reduced composition in members for a small school. (Statute requires 12 members for a high schoolsite council and 10 members for elementary schoolsite council).

The composition of the Rincon Continuation High School Site Council, to ensure parity between members, will be: a.) the principal, two teachers b.) two parents ,one student or community member

Outcome Rationale: Rincon Continuation High School serves credit-deficient Carpinteria High School students grades nine through twelve and has an enrollment of 25 students. Rincon’s staff consists of three full-time teachers as well as a (part-time) academic counselor, office coordinator, and principal. A psychologist, resource teacher, and speech and language therapist are shared with other District secondary schools. Students are taught in three subject area classrooms.

We at Rincon Continuation School believe that all students can learn and succeed when provided with a learning environment that is student centered, offers a variety of instructional methods, and provides academic guidance and personal counseling services.

Due to the small staff size and parent population, Rincon wishes to continue with a site council composed of the principal, two teachers, two parents, and one student. Although the council is small, it takes an active role in reviewing student data, building the budget, and writing the annual Single School Plan for Student Achievement.

Revised: 4/23/2018 7:22 PM 1-3-2017 Carpinteria Unified School District Attachment 4 Page 2 of 2

Rincon High School’s current student population is 90 percent Hispanic and 10 percent white/non-Hispanic. As a small school we receive Title III LEP and Local Control Funding Formula funding. A separate budget and unique program needs prevent the school from developing a collaborative site council with neighboring schools.

Ed Code or CCR to Waive: The composition of the Carpinteria Family School Site Council, to ensure parity between members, will be: a.) the principal and two teachers b.) three parents or community members

Outcome Rationale: Carpinteria Family School is one of two small elementary schools in the Carpinteria Unified School District located in Santa Barbara County. The Family School enrolls 73 students from throughout the district in grades Kindergarten through 5th. There are 3 staff member, an office coordinator, a part-time principal, and a music teacher that is shared with four elementary schools. Students are taught in three multi-graded classrooms.

Carpinteria Family School offers an educational alternative to students, teachers, and parents in the Carpinteria Unified School District. Parents, district staff, administration, and School Board created Carpinteria Family School with the belief that children come to school already immersed in their learning and have their own strengths and interests. The school seeks to support the individual and provide guidance and stimulation. Carpinteria Family School strives to be a leading educational force in open education.

Due to the small size of the staff and parent population, the school wishes to continue with a site council composition of the school principal, two teachers, and three parents or community members. Even though the composition of the council is reduced, the council takes an active role in reviewing student data, writing the single plan, and building a budget that is centered on student achievement.

Barnaby Gloger is the principal at Carpinteria Family School. The Family School’s population is 63 % Caucasian, 21% Hispanic, and 16% other. As a small school we receive only targeted students, unrestricted, and Title III funding. Having different budget and programs needs prevent the schools from developing a single site council with neighboring schools through the waiver process.

Ed Code or CCR to Waive: Article II – Members - Section A: Composition The School Site Council shall be composed of ten members for elementary schools and twelve members for secondary schools, elected by their peers, as follows: * Classroom teachers * Other school staff members * Students - only at the high school level (Education Code 33133(c)) * Parents or community members * School principal, or designee, shall be an ex officio member of the School Site Council. The ratio of parents and community members is equal to the ratio of school staff. At the high school level - students/community and staff must be equal in ratio. (Parent/community=3, students=3, and staff=6) At both elementary and secondary, the classroom teachers shall comprise the majority of persons represented as staff. (Education Code 33133, 52850) Small schools who are unable to meet the composition requirement must apply for a Special Waiver for Site Council Composition from the CDE every two years.

Outcome Rationale: Summerland School is one of two small schools in the Carpinteria Unified School District located in Santa Barbara County. Summerland enrolls 59 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. There are three staff members, an office coordinator, several part time support staff and a music teacher who is shared with four elementary schools. There are three multi-grade classrooms.

Due to the small size of the staff and parent population, the school wishes to continue the site council composed of the school principal, two teachers, and three parents or community members. Even though the composition of the council is reduced, the council takes an active role in reviewing student data, writing the single plan, and building a budget that is centered on student achievement.

Revised: 4/23/2018 7:22 PM 3-1-2017 Carpinteria Unified School District Attachment 6 Page 2 of 2

Michelle Fox is the principal at Summerland School and Aliso School. Summerland School’s population is 76% White/non Hispanic, 1`2% Hispanic, and 12% other. As a small school Summerland receives only unrestricted and targeted student funding. Aliso is 14% White/non Hispanic, 84% Hispanic, and 2% other. Aliso receives Title I, targeted students, unrestricted, Title III funding. The difference in budget and program needs of each school prevent the schools from developing a single site council through the waiver process.

Outcome Rationale: After much recruitment, our small, rural school is unable to get enough parent participation to meet the requirement of 5 parent members. Parents have declined participating in SSC because they are involved in a number of other volunteer roles that support the school and/or are working multiple jobs.

Waiver Topic: Schoolsite Council Statute Ed Code Title: Number and Composition of Members Ed Code Section: 52852 Ed Code Authority: 52863

Ed Code or CCR to Waive: EC 52852 A schoolsite council shall be established at each school which participates in school-based program coordination. The council shall be composed of the principal and representatives of: teachers selected by teachers at the school; other school personnel selected by other school personnel at the school; parents of pupils attending the school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools, pupils selected by pupils attending the school

Outcome Rationale: Junction Elementary School District is a small, rural school district in Shasta County, in northern California. There are 274 students enrolled in this school district; therefore, we are requesting to reduce the number of School Site Council members. The legal requirement and composition of School Site Council members is not practicable in this situation. A well-functioning SSC is instrumental in driving student achievement via the Single Plan for Student Achievement. Hence, we are requesting to reduce the number of members in this academy’s site council membership so that we may have a fully functioning, effective School Site Council. We are proposing to reduce the composition to 8 members. The proposed composition would include: 4 staff, comprised of: 1 administrator, 1 classified staff, and 2 teachers, along with: 4 parents.
