District Budget Advisory Committee (DBAC):
Tuesday 9/17 at 6:30 p.m. Serna Center (5735 47th Avenue) Parent Resource Center.
DBAC is hosting a Data Dashboard Information Session - Chief Accountability Officer Dr. Teresa Cummings will explain the district's new online tool, Data Dashboard. The Data Dashboard can be used to access data about both individual schools and the district as a whole. No individual student data is shared, but an overview of successes and challenges can be viewed in an open and transparent way.
Background-There are many changes in our future which will impact our children. It is important we (SCUSD staff, parents and community leaders) understand the importance of data. Data analysis will influence the allocation of resources, funds and staff, especially with Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The Data Dashboard has been designed to assist in increasing our ability to access data used to make decisions for our children. All decision makers should attend.

I hope you are coming up with suggestions on how $8,000,000 (8 million dollars- that's the approximate equivalent of 80 teachers) in one time state funds should be allocated. If you are not sure, talk with your principals and teachers to receive their input. The purpose of this ongoing meeting is to receive comments and feedback from parent advisory groups regarding District recommendations for how they will spend the 8 million in state funds provided for Common Core implementation. It may be your last chance to give input before the recommendations go to the board. Childcare and translation provided.
