School Accountability Report Card
The Governing Board shall annually issue a school accountability report card for the school. (Education Code 35256)
Such report cards shall be designed to inform parents/guardians and the community about the conditions, needs and progress at the school and to help provide data by which parents/guardians can make meaningful comparisons between schools. The Board believes that the process of developing the report cards gives school staff opportunities to review achievements, identify areas for improvement, enlist local support, and establish a vision for the future.
The Superintendent/Principal or designee shall maintain a process for developing annual report cards for the school with input from all segments of the school community. The Superintendent/Principal or designee shall develop strategies for communicating the information contained in the cards to all stakeholders, including opportunities for staff and the community to discuss their content.
