DISTRICT ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT CARD 2006-2007

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Welcome to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Our teachers, principals, staff, and
administrators are committed to working with you to prepare your children to be successful life long learners and civic-minded citizens.
On behalf of the school district, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this important information and share it with your child. The District recognizes the critical role you provide in your child's academic success, and this District Accountability Report Card is a way for the LAUSD to provide you with a brief synopsis of the District's progress.
In 1988, California voters passed Proposition 98 establishing the School Accountability Report Card. The State of California requires that all school districts issue annual assessments for each elementary and secondary school related to the schools resources, successes and areas of improvement. If you have any questions, I encourage you to talk to your child's teacher or principal.
Today's students need to master more complex skills than any previous generation; with more demanding requirements for college and careers, we must work together to ensure that our students are well equipped with the academic skills and civic values in order to be successful. Our teachers, principals, administrators, staff, and members of the Board of Education are committed to partnering with you to ensure the academic success of our students.
By working together we can provide a bright future for all our children. Best wishes for a successful academic
year.
David L. Brewer III, Superintendent

School Facility Conditions - General Information
The District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional within the available resources. The District has established cleaning standards for all school
facilities in assigning and inspecting custodial work. A summary of these standards is available through the site administrator. Food service and restroom facilities are given highest priority on a
daily basis to ensure the health and safety of students and staff. Other cleaning functions may be scheduled on less than a daily frequency due to the limitation of available custodial resources.
Information about the condition of school facilities can be found at www.lausd-oehs.org under “School Inspection Results”.

Norm-Referenced Test (NRT)
The norm-referenced test (NRT), currently the California Achievement Test, Sixth Edition (CAT-6), shows how well students are doing compared to students nationally in Reading, Language, Spelling, and
Mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only. The results are reported as the percent of tested students scoring at or above the national average (the 50th percentile). Detailed information regarding NRT
results for each grade level can be found at the CDE Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov/.
Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the

California High School Exit Examination
The California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) is primarily used as a graduation requirement, but the results of this exam are also used to determine Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for high
schools, as required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The CAHSEE includes English-Language Arts and Mathematics components. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Not
Proficient, Proficient, and Advanced. Detailed information regarding CAHSEE results can be found at the CDE website at http://cahsee.cde.ca.gov/.
Note:
Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy, or to protect student privacy.

Districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make Adequate Yearly Progress
(AYP) for two consecutive years. After entering PI, districts advance to the next level of intervention with additional year that they do not make AYP. Information about PI, including a list of all
PI districts, can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay or by contacting the district office. |
