Achieving Excellence for All: Establishing a Framework for Continuous Improvement
This framework will allow the District to identify and provide more supports to schools that are struggling, so that they can continue to improve. It will also let parents and community members understand how their school is doing.
We know that all kids, regardless of background, can learn at high levels. In order to support schools and make continued progress, we need better information on how our schools are doing. The performance framework will allow us to look at all of our different types of schools through the same lens of success. Read the full resolution here.

Supports legislation (AB 2808) that would increase LCFF funding so that our primary mechanism of education funding would be boosted to more appropriate levels. As well as legilsation (AB 2731) that would close the close the carried interest loophole, one of the biggest tax loopholes in our tax system which currently only benefits hedge fund managers or private equity firms.
