  • Inglewood Unified School District Comprehensive Review
    Inglewood Unified School District Comprehensive Review July 2013 Inglewood Unified School District Comprehensive Review July 2013 Introduction and Executive Summary Introduction The Inglewood Unified School District was established in the early 1950s as the successor of the Inglewood School District, which came into existence in 1888. It encompasses nine square miles in Los Angeles County and is about 13 miles south west of the city of Los Angeles. Inglewood Unified has an estimated 110,623 residents within district boundaries and serves approximately 12,000 students in grades kindergarten through 12 in the city of Inglewood and an adjacent section of unincorporated Los Angeles County (Ladera Heights). The district operates 10 elementary schools, two middle schools, two K-8 schools, two high schools, a charter high school, a continuation high school, a preschool child development center, and a community adult school. For fiscal year 2012-13, the district’s average daily attendance (ADA) is approximately 11,300 students On September 14, 2012, the governor approved SB 533, Chapter 325, bringing the district under state receivership with a state-approved emergency appropriation for $55 million to avoid fiscal insolvency. The district’s previous management made efforts to avoid the takeover with last- minute expenditure reductions, but after years of deficit spending, the district’s structural budget imbalance was too large. The district was projected to have a negative cash balance by March 31, 2013. Stated reasons for fiscal insolvency included: OverstatingADA, understating California State Teachers’ Retirement System payments, understating certificated salary expenses, continued deficit spending, and declining enrollment. The funds for the emergency appropriation (loan) to support cash flow in the Inglewood Unified School District were to be issued, as provided for in the legislation, by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (I-Bank).

  • Why MESA? As the World Economy Changes from an Industrial Focus to Technological Focus, It Is Important to Prepare Our Students to Be Successful
    Why MESA? As the world economy changes from an industrial focus to technological focus, it is important to prepare our students to be successful. That means introducing them to applications of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in their classes and through hands on projects. MESA serves that purpose. About MESA Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) is nationally recognized for its innovative and effective academic development programs. MESA engages thousands of educationally disadvantaged students so they excel in math and science and graduate with math-based degrees. MESA partners with all segments of California higher education as well as K-12 institutions. MESA, in existence for the past 45 years, has a proven track record of producing math-based graduates by providing support such as classes, hands-on competitions, counseling, transfer support and a community environment to students from middle school through four-year college. Since 1970, MESA has helped students become scientists, engineers and mathematicians, filling an urgent need for qualified technical professionals. Through three branches of MESA, students from all segments of education are served through local centers throughout California. MESA partners with industry and all the major education institutions in California. Who MESA Serves Most MESA students are the first in their families to attend college. Most are low-income and attend (or have attended) low- performing schools with few resources. MESA serves students in pre-college through the MESA Schools Program (MSP), community college students through the MESA Community College Program (MCCP), and four-year college level students in the MESA Engineering Program (MEP). How MESA Works Through a close partnership with industry and the state's education systems, MESA: Challenges students with rigorous academics.
