CONTRA COSTA COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION WILLIAMS SETTLEMENT ANNUAL REPORT FOR WEST CONTRA COSTA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DECEMBER, 2005 As part of the Williams Settlement, California Education Code Section 1240 requires that County Offices of Education visit schools identified in each county office’s respective county and report to each district and Board of Supervisors the results of the visitations to the schools in that particular district. This report describes the results of the visits to the following schools in the West Contra Costa Unified School District during Fall 2005: Adams Middle, Bayview Elementary, Castro Elementary, Chavez Elementary, Coronado Elementary, Crespi Junior High, De Anza Senior High, Dover Elementary, Downer Elementary, El Sobrante Elementary, Fairmont Elementary, Ford Elementary, Grant Elementary, Harding Elementary, Helms Middle, Kennedy High, King Elementary, Lake Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Lovonya DeJean Middle, Montalvin Manor, Nystrom Elementary, Peres Elementary, Pinole Junior High, Pinole Valley High, Portola Junior High, Richmond High, Riverside Elementary, Stege Elementary, Tara Hills Elementary, Transition Learning Center, and Verde Elementary. This is to certify that West Contra Costa Unified School District meets the necessary criteria for sufficient instructional materials and submitted the 2004-05 School Accountability Report Card. West Contra Costa Unified School District did not meet the necessary criteria for facilities standards of good repair. The purpose of the Contra Costa County Office of Education visits as specified in California Education Code Section 1240 was to insure: 1. That students have access to “sufficient instructional materials in four core subject areas (English language arts, mathematics, history/social science, science) and, as appropriate, science laboratory equipment, foreign languages, and health ”; 2. To assess compliance with facilities maintenance to determine the condition of a facility that “poses an emergency or urgent threat to the health or safety of pupils or staff”; and 3. To determine if the school has provided accurate data for the annual school accountability report card related to instructional materials and facilities maintenance. The law further requires that the county superintendent annually monitor and review: 1 Teacher assignments in Decile 1-3 schools, based on Academic Performance Index (API); Receive quarterly reports on complaints filed with the school district concerning insufficient instructional materials, teacher vacancies and misassignment and emergency or urgent facilities issues under the Uniform Complaint Procedure; and Expanded audit review authority in the areas of use of instructional materials program funds, teacher misassignment, and information reported on the school accountability report card. The definitions of four basic terms used in this report are as follows: “Sufficient instructional materials” means every pupil, including English Language learners, has a textbook in the four core areas to use in class and to take home. “Facilities standards” means that each school district that receives state funding for facilities is required to establish a facilities inspection program and to ensure that each of the schools is maintained in good repair. “Good repair” is defined as maintaining schools that are clean, safe and functional. “Emergency condition” means a condition of the facility that poses an emergency and urgent threat to the health or safety of pupils or staff. The CCCOE findings during the visit to the Williams Settlement schools in West Contra Costa Unified School District related to the three areas of instructional materials, facilities and the school accountability report card are summarized below: Instructional Materials: West Contra Costa Unified School District has purchased sufficient instructional materials for the following core content areas for the schools listed below: Adams Middle School English/Language Arts: Prentice Hall, Prentice Hall Literature: Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes (Grades 6-8) Mathematics: Harcourt Math Grade 6 (Grade 6);
