2019 School Accountability Report Card Ceres High School School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2018-19 School Year Published During 2019-20 By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners). Internet Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2019-20) Year and month in which data were collected: 2019/10 The school district held a public hearing on September 12, 2019, and determined that each school within the district had sufficient and good quality textbooks, instructional materials, or science lab equipment pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English Learners, are given their own individual standards- aligned textbooks or instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home. Textbooks and supplementary materials are adopted according to a cycle developed by the California Department of Education, making the textbooks used in the school the most current available. Materials approved for use by the State are reviewed by all teachers and a recommendation is made to the School Board by a selection committee composed of teachers and administrators. All recommended materials are available for parent examination at the district office prior to adoption. The table displays information collected in August, 2019 about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards- aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school.

Ceres council candidates hope for status quo until economy picks up By Ken Carlson Modesto Bee and Merced Sun-Star, Thursday, October 8, 2009 CERES — Political candidates rarely pronounce that they want to maintain the status quo. But, in a bad economy, maintaining the same level of city services is often deemed an accomplishment, and it's what the candidates are talking about in the Ceres City Council race. "Police and fire service is important to maintain because the crime element seems to go up in a tough economy," said Ken Lane, a councilman seeking a second four-year term. Also vying for the two council seats are incumbent Chris Vierra and challenger Michael Kline.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington. Sir: Many students apply for admission to higher institutions in other States and sections than those in which they have received their high-school preparation. Many also seek certificates from ex¬ amining and licensing boards, which have no direct means of know¬ ing the standards of the schools from which the applicants come. The demand for this information led the Bureau of Education, first in the spring of 1913 and again in the autumn of 1914, to undertake the collection and preparation of lists of high schools and academies accredited by State universities, approved by State departments of education, or recognized by examining and certifying boards and by certain other agencies. The demand proved to be even greater than had been anticipated. The first edition of the bulletin was soon exhausted. There have be^n many requests from college and uni¬ versity officers for copies of the second edition. Moreover, changes are made in these lists of accredited schools from year to year.

    NEW ISSUE — BOOK-ENTRY ONLY RATINGS: Standard & Poor’s: AAA/A+ (SPUR) (See “BOND INSURANCE” and “MISCELLANEOUS — Rating” herein). In the opinion of Kronick, Moskovitz, Tiedemann & Girard, a Professional Corporation, Sacramento, California, Bond Counsel, based upon an analysis of existing statutes, regulations, rulings, and court decisions and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, nor is such interest taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other tax consequences related to the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds. See “Tax Matters” herein. $15,000,000 CERES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (Stanislaus County, California) GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, ELECTION OF 2008, SERIES 2009A Dated: Date of Delivery Due: August 1, as shown below The Ceres Unified School District (the “District”) is issuing the Ceres Unified School District (Stanislaus County, California) General Obligation Bonds, Election of 2008, Series 2009A (the “Bonds”) in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000.

    LCFF Budget Overview for Parents Local Educational Agency (LEA) Name: Ceres Unified School District CDS Code: 50-71043-0000000 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Year: 2019-20 LEA contact information: Amy Peterman, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent School districts receive funding from different sources: state funds under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), other state funds, local funds, and federal funds. LCFF funds include a base level of funding for all LEAs and extra funding - called "supplemental and concentration" grants - to LEAs based on the enrollment of high needs students (foster youth, English learners, and low-income students). Budget Overview for the 2019-20 LCAP Year This chart shows the total general purpose revenue Ceres Unified School District expects to receive in the coming year from all sources. The total revenue projected for Ceres Unified School District is $177,437,358, of which $154,266,984 is Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), $5,763,930 is other state funds, $9,471,173 is local funds, and $7,935,271 is federal funds. Of the $154,266,984 in LCFF Funds, $37,464,359 is generated based on the enrollment of high needs students (foster youth, English learner, and low-income students). Page 1 of 233 LCFF Budget Overview for Parents The LCFF gives school districts more flexibility in deciding how to use state funds. In exchange, school districts must work with parents, educators, students, and the community to develop a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that shows how they will use these funds to serve students. This chart provides a quick summary of how much Ceres Unified School District plans to spend for 2019- 20.
