The Superintendent will update the Board on the District’s Strategic Plan. This is a regularly appearing item.

The Director of Instructional Services will provide an overview of the adoption process for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math materials for adoption beginning in 2016-2017.

Education Codes 60000, 60001, 60002, and 60422 determine the process for the adoption of instructional materials in California schools. The CUSD ELA Committee worked from September 2015 – May 2016 to determine district priorities for English Language Arts materials to pilot. Instructional Services and ELA Committee chose to pilot three publishers: Amplify (K-8), Benchmark (K-5), Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt (6-8). From January – April 2016 a representative group of teachers piloted these materials with students and evaluated the materials based on alignment with standards, frameworks, and student engagement.

For math, a group of teachers representing all three of our middle schools attended a training last spring at the Santa Clara County Office of Education facilitated by the math coordinator there. They used the county’s math adoption toolkit to identify strengths and weaknesses of various programs. It was determined on that day to move forward with piloting Go Math (Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt) and Eureka Math. From September 2015 – April 2016, district middle school teachers piloted each publisher’s materials, used them with their students, and evaluated based on toolkit criteria.

The pilot materials were available for public viewing throughout the course of the pilot and targeted parent meetings were held for parents to view the pilot curriculum.

Piloting teachers and the ELA committee recommend that the Governing Board adopt the chosen curricula based on decisions made on April 12, 2016 with middle school math teachers and May 3, 2016 with ELA teachers in grades K-5 for implementation in 2016-2017.

Superintendent, Eric Andrew, will present an update on the District's Reorganization Plan. This is a regularly appearing item. 

We are replacing the old roof structure that covers the buses at the Corp Yard with a new one capable of supporting solar panels.  DSA requires that we adopt a resolution for the non-school building structures stating that the structure shall not be used for school purposes and that no students, teachers, or the public will be permitted to use or enter the structure.

This project includes the renovation and/or replacement of plant materials, trees, irrigation systems, and ground coverings located in the front parking lot areas and quad areas at Campbell Middle School.
