Once known as the “Egg Capital of the World,” its agricultural roots continue to expand, as evidenced by the dairies, creameries, as well as the vast vineyards and wineries that lie to the north and east of the city. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Sonoma County, Petaluma is approximately 45 minutes north of the internationally renown city of San Francisco. Today, downtown Petaluma is a favorite spot for tourists who are attracted to its Victorian architecture, river promenade, and cultural diversity. The city’s population is 57,900, of which 69% are White, 21% are Hispanic, and 5% are Asian. A third of its residents have at least a Bachelor’s degree and its median annual household income is around $72,000. Casa Grande High School Casa Grande High School is one of two comprehensive high schools in the Petaluma Joint Union High School District. Opened in 1972, Casa Grande currently has an enrollment of about 1750 students; most of these students come from Kenilworth Junior High, Casa Grande’s primary feeder school. With the assistance of the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE), the district is considering merging with Old Adobe Elementary School District, which currently serves as a feeder school for Kenilworth Junior High. Over the years, Casa Grande has been experiencing a decline in enrollment: from 1840 students (CBEDS Oct. 2007) to 1750 (CBEDS Oct. 2011). Our CBEDS enrollment data also shows a change in the racial composition of the school over the last several years; from 2007 to 2011, there has been a decrease of 125 White students and an increase of 19 Hispanic students from 471 to 490. This represents a decrease from 61% to 57% of White students and an increase from 25% to 28% in the Hispanic population. There is also an increase in the number of students from East Asia, China, and the Pacific Rim. The school’s East Indian population grew from 19 students in 2007 to 27 in 2011. Its African-American population increased from 29 to 34, and its Chinese population declined slightly from 53 to 49 during the same period. The number of Pacific Islander, Filipino, and American Indian/Alaskan students has remained constant over the same period; there were less than 16 for each of these subgroups. During the same period, 2007-2011, Casa Grande’s English Language Learner (ELL) population decreased from 372 students to 301 students. The special education population has remained fairly constant, however; in 2007, 196 students were classified as “resource students” who received special education services and in 2011, 198 students received the similar services. As of October 2010, the total number of students who received free or reduced lunches increased from 264 students (18% of the student population) to 542 (29% of the student population). Despite the growing number of students who receive free or reduced lunches, Casa Grande does not receive Title I funds. Therefore, Casa Grande is not a Program Improvement school even though it did not Chapter I ~ Student/Community Profile & Supporting Data 2012 Casa Grande Focus on Learning Page 1 meet its AYP for the past two years.

The college counselor is meant to fill in the gaps, but again, with over 2,000+ students, it is difficult to personally reach and assist each student in meeting their college and career goals.

  • Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District, 2008
    Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District Sphere of Influence Municipal Service Review Report March 14, 2008 Important Late Breaking News ... District Receives $13 Million Grant to Complete New Center A very significant event occurred after the completion of the public draft of this Service Review - the commitment by the CV Starr Foundation to provide approximately $13 million for construction completion of the C.V. Starr Community Center and Spath Aquatic Facility. This Center is discussed in Section Two: Starr Community/Spath Aquatic Center on page 48. As stated on page 50: The plan for the Aquatic Center has evolved over the past few years and will probably change again, but at this point the District is pretty clear about the road ahead. The entire project is expected to cost about $23.5 million upon completion - not including the cost of the land. The District has raised and spent half of the Center’s expected cost; it must raise the remainder to finish the project. The District has asked the Starr Foundation to provide the funds required to complete the Center. The Foundation’s Project Manager for the Center is proposing to the Foundation Board of Directors that they do so. As of the time of the drafting of this Review, the Starr Foundation has not yet provided a final funding commitment to complete the Starr/Spath Center. But there are indications they are likely to do so. They have now done so, and this is good news indeed! References to the required funding of the Center are scattered throughout this MSR.

  • Alternative Schools in Fort Bragg Unified School District
    HOOPS…NOW! Fort Bragg Unified School District Alternative Schools June 9, 2008 Summary The 2007-08 Grand Jury continued a review of the Fort Bragg Unified School District (FBUSD) Alternative Schools that began in 2006.1 Students in these schools are referred because of the need for a more structured learning environment; most have been suspended or expelled from the mainstream school campuses; many are on probation. Mendocino County Juvenile Court policy is to place probationary youth in the least restrictive intervention program, with the most restrictive being full-time residence in Juvenile Hall. This policy results in youth with serious behavioral issues including substance abuse and gang affiliations, being returned to their home communities. Local school districts are required by law to provide appropriate public education to all students until the age of 18. FBUSD operates an adult education program and three alternative schools for youth from the entire Mendocino coast: • Shelter Cove Community Day School (Grades 6-8; 360 instructional minutes/day) • Lighthouse Community Day School (Grades 9-12; 360 instructional minutes/day) • Noyo Continuation High School (Ages 16-18; 180 instructional minutes/day) All three schools provide highly structured, individualized instruction and limited support services that emphasize positive student behavior and academic progress toward a high school degree or equivalency certificate. A low student/teacher ratio permits extra support for students whose life experiences and behavior place them at serious risk of academic and/or societal failure. The 2007-08 Grand Jury found facilities and classrooms to be clean, well organized and free of debris or graffiti.
