Background:

California Education Code 1240 requires that the Santa Barbara County Education Office visits schools in the Santa Barbara School Districts that are ranked in deciles 1 to 3, inclusive, of the 2006 base Academic Performance Index (API). The purpose of the visits is to: 1) determine that there are sufficient State Board of Education approved, standards-aligned textbooks for the core instructional areas; 2) evaluate the safety, cleanliness, and adequacy of school facilities; 3) evaluate the accuracy of data reported on the school accountability report card with respect to the availability of sufficient textbooks and instructional materials, and the safety, cleanliness, and adequacy of school facilities; 4) monitor and review teacher misassignments and teacher vacancies; and 5) receive quarterly reports on uniform complaints filed with the school district concerning 1 though 4 above.

Education Code 1240 also requires that the County report be submitted to the governing board at a regularly scheduled meeting as information only.

Attached is the Santa Barbara County Education Office’s Annual Williams Legislation Report for Fiscal Year 2012-13. The report includes results of the visits and review of sufficiency of instructional materials, conditions of school facilities, review of teacher misassignments and teacher vacancies, accuracy of school accountability report cards, and uniform complaints for Adams, Cleveland, Franklin, Harding, and McKinley schools. The quarterly reports for 2012-13 have previously been submitted to the Board as required by Education Code 1240.
Recommendation:That the Board of Education accept the Annual Williams Legislation Report for Adams, Cleveland, Franklin, Harding, and McKinley Schools for fiscal year 2012-13.
