The new California School Dashboard multiple measures system replaces the former Academic Performance Index (API), which was based solely on testing results, and the federal requirement to calculate Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

Castro Valley’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) details our four major goals for our students and lists specific actions, services and budgets to support those goals.

Goal 1: Ensure that ALL students graduate “college and career ready” through the full implementation of the New California Standards for Literacy and Mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards.
Goal 2: Ensure a positive learning environment with properly certificated teachers, adequate materials, and appropriate facilities to support high-quality teaching and student learning.
Goal 3: Empower ALL parents (including those speaking a language other than English) to be actively engaged in their students’ education and decision-making processes by providing timely information and encouraging parents to demonstrate their support for student learning and for the importance of graduating “college and career ready.”
Goal 4: Ensure that ALL students are actively engaged and supported through a safe, healthy, culturally responsive, and rigorous learning environment.

SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT CARD (SARC)

SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT (SPSA)

Both state and federal law require all public schools to prepare and distribute a School Accountability Report Card (SARC) to provide parents and the community with important information about each public school including demographic data; test results; class sizes; teacher and staff information; curriculum and instruction descriptions; parent involvement opportunities, “adequate yearly progress” of students in achieving state academic achievement standards; Title 1 Program Improvement, graduation rates at the secondary level; and , the extent to which “highly qualified” teachers are teaching core academic subjects.SARCs are always published one year following the data gathering.

Hard copies are also available at each school site upon request. Please contact your school office to obtain a printed copy.

The Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a document that represents a school’s cycle of continuous improvement of student performance. The annual process of developing, reviewing, and updating the SPSA includes a comprehensive review of data and the development of actions necessary to achieve school goals. The plan also addresses funding and proposed expenditures related to state and federal categorical programs. The SPSA contains the School Action Plan, Safe Schools Plan, School Parental Involvement Policy, and Home-School Compact. Each year, the School Site Council and the local governing board approve the SPSA.
For additional information on school programs and how you may become involved locally, please contact your school's principal.
