Mission and Vision Note: Sylmar STEM Academy is a working name for our school. After a suitable time of serving our students and families, we will enlist the help of the community in coming up with a permanent name. The Mission of the Sylmar Academy of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math is to provide a personalized and student-focused learning environment. Students will be furnished a rich learning experience that will foster academic achievement, acquisition of knowledge, and 21st century skills that will empower students to be prepared for future educational and career challenges and opportunities. These 21st century skills are critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity and innovation. Students and staff will participate in a learning community centered on a shared commitment to academic excellence, college-bound culture and creating work ready citizens. The Academy will also focus on the need to increase the number of underrepresented students (women, minorities, and economically disadvantaged) who seek higher education and training in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The Vision of the Sylmar Academy of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math is to create a small school atmosphere for diverse learners where all students will have access to a robust, demanding, and engaging STEM curriculum that focuses on fostering life-long learners, and participation in the 21st century global society. Students' mastery of the standards-based content and skills essential to be college and workforce-ready will be facilitated by highly skilled, committed educators who set high standards and are enriched by up-to-date instructional resources; and quality professional development that is supported by community support networks which empower each learner to maximize her or his potential. 2. School Data Analysis Sylmar STEM Academy will reduce overcrowding at Herrick, Hubbard & Sylmar Elementary Schools as well as Olive Vista Middle School. Our data analysis is based on information gathered from the school performance meter sheet, and the school experience survey for academic year 2010-2011. Data Overview The following examines student demographics at the four schools. Enrollments are predominantly Latino (95%), with 2% White and the balance a mixture of African American, Asian and other. Students with disabilities average 12%, with Olive Vista having the largest percentage at 16% of students identified as students with disabilities. The number of identified GATE students averages 7% of the combined enrollment. The English Learner population at the elementary schools averages 41% while Olive Vista Middle has a little less than a quarter at 23%. English learners at the elementary schools who are identified as reclassified averages 13% of enrollment. Olive Vista has a total of 38% of students identified as reclassified. This percentage includes students who entered middle school as reclassified. Almost 90% of the student body on average is a student identified as economically disadvantaged and on the free lunch program (Title I). A concern that stands out is the fact that the elementary schools have an average of 40% English Learners with an average of only 13% of students who are reclassified. The need to mitigate these low 5 reclassification percentages is paramount when acknowledging the research that reclassified students stand a much greater chance of graduating high school (Silver, D., et al. (2008). (What Factors Predict High School Graduation in the Los Angeles Unified School District?) Another concern is the 16 percent of students with a disability at the middle school that can be a result of over identification, lack of Response to Intervention and Monitoring and/or second language issues that must be addressed at the elementary and middle school level. Another area of concern is the low number of students identified gifted and talented. We see an opportunity to identify more students as gifted and talented using all accepted identification criteria through both testing or through their CST scores. Olive Vista School Overview 2010-2011 MS Herrick EL Hubbard EL Sylmar EL Student Population 1506 679 1043 861 Latino 95% 94% 94% 95% Gifted and Talented 8% 8% 6% 5% English Learners 23% 45% 38% 40% Reclassified Fluent English Proficient 38% 13% 11% 14% Special Education 16% 11% 10% 10% Economically Disadvantaged 100% 88% 75% 100% Interesting to note and of great concern is that Olive Vista Middle entered Program Improvement (PI) status in 1997-1998 and has been in PI status for 12 years. Sylmar Elementary entered PI status in 2006-2007. Hubbard only recently entered PI status in 2010-2011 and Herrick Elementary remains in good standing according to the performance meter for 2010-2011. In addition, all schools have seen their API rise in the last few years. For example, Sylmar Elementary is currently at 779, Hubbard 792, Herrick 815 and Olive Vista went up 14 points to 670 API. The opportunity to parlay the percentages we are seeing at the elementary to the middle school is both appealing and manageable through a strong instructional program, committed teachers, vertical articulation among teachers at all grades and a shared commitment to our mission and vision. Superintendent Deasy’s Five Performance Meter Goals Although Sylmar STEM Academy will be a SPAN K-8 school and Goal 1 in Superintendent Deasy’s Performance Meter (High school graduation rate) is not measured at the elementary and middle school level; the Sylmar STEM Academy community believes that the foundation to high school graduation begins at the elementary level and continues through middle school. Based on our community outreach and input from parents, we are committed to providing quality first instruction and a personalized learning environment that focuses on long term goals of high school graduation and post secondary education.

Lid, Legislative Assistant COUNCIL FILE NO. 10-1076: SURVEY FINDINGS FROM SCHOOL-PARKS SHARED USE STUDY The Department of Recreation and Parks (Depaliment) began its shared use relationship with Los Angeles Unified School District (LA US D) in 1967 with an agreement for the construction and operation of a pool at Venice High SchooL The pool was subsequently built by the City on LAUSD property. 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.

    UPDATE www.aala.us Week of July 16, 2018 ALTERNATIVE FACTS IN THIS ISSUE ALTERNATIVE FACTS Sadly, national politics seem to be playing out in our own SUCCESS REQUIRES EXECUTIVE backyard. Proof positive is a recently released report from FUNCTIONS the L.A. Unified Task Force (formerly headed by now FAQ – LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE Superintendent Austin Beutner) entitled Hard Choices HEATWAVE (click HERE). The report squarely places the blame for the CONGRATULATIONS – CESAR District’s lack of achievement and finances at the feet of CHAVEZ SOCIAL JUSTICE ACADEMY classroom teachers and frontline managers. The irony of CRITICAL LIFE EVENTS SUPPORT FRIENDS OF AALA the report is the apparent absolution of District-represented IN MEMORIAM senior leadership and the Board of Education, both past and CALENDAR present. Yet, it is they who make policy and propagate LMU ED.D. PROGRAM resolution after resolution, ultimately burdening teachers POSITIONS and administrators with bulletins, memoranda, and reference guides by the thousands. So it is important to highlight and bring front and center the fact that teachers and frontline managers are left with the onerous task of implementing said policies and resolutions. The rank and file in schools, local districts, and central offices can articulate what’s working, what’s not, the barriers, values, beliefs, and assumptions underlying most every initiative and strategic plan, as well as each reimagination, reiteration, and regurgitation of the organizational structure, leading to a “this too shall pass” mentality. This problem will continue lingering until a culture of trust is cultivated and valued. In the meantime, the path of least resistance to best meet the needs of students is for the rank and file to continue planning and collaborating in parking lots across the city instead of voicing legitimate concerns to leadership, for fear of retaliation and intimidation.
