The Board of Education will be presented an annual update on DJUSD's Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The presentation will include an overview of findings from reviews of actions, services, and stakeholder input. Potential revisions to the 2018-19 LCAP will also be discussed.  

The Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) was approved in June of 2017 as a three year document.  The goals, actions, services, and budget are written to address the needs of our unduplicated students. 

Staff is responsible for simultaneously implementing the plan and reviewing progress on actions, services, and spending.  The Instructional Services team also uses progress indicators like the dashboard, Youth Truth, and stakeholder feedback to analyze impact and suggest revisions from year to year.

DJUSD has held three advisory meetings, reviewed data with site leaders, held focus groups, and sent surveys to staff and parent/guardian(s) to inform work.

This presentation is an update on the process and key data points that will inform planning for the 2018-2019 LCAP.

None at this time.

DJUSD staff recommends the ratification of a Graduate Profile for the Davis Joint Unified School District. 

A presentation that summarizes community outreach and input for the development of DJUSD's Graduate Profile will deepen our collective understanding of shared values and outcomes for Davis graduates. The Graduate Profile helps us begin with the end in mind. By specifying the student outcomes we want to cultivate, we can tailor programming, assessment, and instruction.

The Graduate Profile will help us align the broader context of the 21st century (where students will be entering when they leave DJUSD) and the specific skills (cognitive, personal, and interpersonal) that our community values and that students will need to be successful in career, college, and beyond.

No financial impact. 

The Declaration of Need for Qualified Educators is an annual process which is guided by California Code of Regulations, Title 5, and requires all school districts that may need to use emergency permit teachers to estimate the number of emergency permits that may be needed in the upcoming school year. The estimate must be made public at the local governing board meeting. The estimate and governing board approval are sent to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing in an annual "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators."  If a current "Declaration of Need" is not on file with the Commission, no emergency permits will be issued for use in the school district for that year. 

The information listed on the Declaration of Need form (Attachment 1) represents estimates based on previous years’ actual needs and on enrollment projections for 2018-2019. If new information develops and the need should arise to seek emergency permits in areas not listed on the form, then the district may submit that information at a later time and the Commission would be able to grant emergency permits in those areas. 

It should be emphasized that these permits would only be sought in emergency cases. For example, it may be necessary to fill a position that may come open immediately preceding the opening of school or during the school year. In the high percentages of cases, the district is able to fill positions with fully-credentialed certificated personnel through the established recruitment and hiring process.

The Declaration does not impact the General Education or Categorical Fund.

The calendar is a fluid, working document used by the Board President and Superintendent in support of the Board conducting efficient and effective Board meetings. Changes in the date of future agenda items occur frequently to best fit Board items into the time parameters of Board meetings and District priorities.  

The next meeting of the Board of Education is scheduled for May 3, 2018. The Board will convene in open session, and immediately thereafter adjourn to closed session at 5:30 p.m. in the Susan B. Anthony Administration Building at 526 B Street, Davis, California. The Board will reconvene in open session at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the Community Chambers at 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis, California.
