Background
San Jose State University (SJSU) Provost, Dr. Andy Feinstein, will introduce a presentation about College Readiness. Dr. Stacy Gleixner, Interim Assoc. VP for Student and Faculty Success, and Dr. Debra Griffith, Associate Vice President for Transition and Retention Services, the SJSU staff who are leading student success initiatives, will provide a brief report. At the spring 2017 Student Success Summit, SJSU shared some of the student success data that has been gathered which led to the idea of sharing this information with K-12 institutions. The goal of the presentation is to broaden the shared understanding of student success.
Additionally, recently, the CSU Chancellor issued an executive order around college readiness, EO 1110, describing that changes to admission requirements are pending. The guest presenters will address questions regarding the pending changes.
Trustee Di Salvo requested this report be agendized for the County Board of Education to raise awareness regarding the state of College Readiness for our county.

Khristel Johnson, Director, Charter Schools
Background
On June 30, 2017, the Charter Schools Office of the Santa Clara County Office of Education received a Petition for the Perseverance Preparatory School (“Petition”), a district appeal 5th – 8th grade charter school proposing to serve 512 students and to be located in San Jose Unified School District. Perseverance Prep was denied by San Jose Unified on May 18, 2017. It appealed its petition to the SCCOE and plans to open its doors during the fall of 2018.
On July 19, 2017, the County Board of Education held a public hearing on the Perseverance Preparatory School petition.
California Education Code Sections 47605 requires that “no later than 30 days after receiving a petition” the County Board of Education shall hold a public hearing on the provisions of the charter petition at which time it is to consider the level of support from the public. The Education Code further directs that the County Board of Education “shall either grant or deny the charter within 60 days of receipt of the petition. However, this date may be extended by an additional 30 days if both parties agree to the extension.”
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL OF A CHARTER PETITION
Education Code § 47605 (b) makes clear that governing boards are to be aware “of the intent of the Legislature that charter schools are and should become an integral part of the California educational system and that establishment of charter schools should be encouraged. The [County Board of Education] shall grant a charter for the operation of a school under this part if it is satisfied that granting the charter is consistent with sound educational practice. The [County Board of Education] shall not deny a petition for the establishment of a charter school unless it makes written factual findings to support one or more of the following findings”:
REVIEW OF THE PETITION
Staff reviewed the Petition using the criteria established in California Education Code 47605(b) and County Board Policy 0420.4 (c) and found:
1. Required signatures: The signature requirement set forth in Education Code Section 47605 (b) (3).
Staff found that the Petition contains the required signatures.
2. Affirmation that the charter school shall be nonsectarian
Staff found that the Petition contains the required affirmation.
3. Affirmation that the charter school shall not discriminate against pupils
Staff found that the Petition contains the required affirmation.
4. Affirmation that the charter school shall not charge tuition
Staff found that the Petition contains the required affirmation, although mandatory school uniforms with logos are impermissible pupil fees and effectively constitute tuition.
5. Reasonably comprehensive description of the required elements
Staff found that the petition DID NOT contain a reasonably comprehensive description of all of the required elements as there were significant inconsistencies, omissions, legal concerns, and questions in the required elements, including but not limited to the educational program, measurable student outcomes, methods by which pupil progress will be measured, employee qualifications, health and safety, and student expulsion and suspension procedures. Some of the key elements and issues are summarized below with greater detail in the Staff Analysis and Proposed Findings of Fact dated August 16, 2017.
Educational Program: Key elements include (1) Lacks detail on “rotational model” of instruction. (2) Lacks details on working specifically with students aged 11-14. (3) Lacks coherence on the integration, and implementation of a sound educational program with the required core subjects and the multitude of additional emphasis areas. (4) Fails to include verifiable written assurances that it will participate as a local educational agency in a SELPA for IDEIA compliance, but proposes serving as its own LEA. Lacks details on understanding of the relationship between SELPA and charter school. (5) Lacks details on compliant and effective programs addressing special education and English Learner needs. (6) Lacks details on “non-core” staff’s role and process of delivery of the additional emphasis areas.
Measurable Student Outcomes: Lacks details in the required metrics to determine performance and progress for targeted students.
Method for Measuring Progress: Lacks details on the development of a cogent approach in integrating, analyzing, and validating student data to inform instruction.
Employee Qualifications: Lacks clarity on types of credentials required for implementation of program. Further, requires more stringent qualifications for Assistant Director than the Executive Director and overall the administrator qualifications do not appear adequate for the job expectations of the positions or the academic and fiscal integrity of the proposed school.
Health and Safety: Lacks clarity between the Petition, Safety Plan, and the Student and Family Handbook. Also contains violations of mandated reporter laws.
Admissions Requirements: Lacks clarity between internal documents and discription violates Charter Schools Act.
Student Suspension and Expulsion: Inconsistent policies and practices on suspension and expulsion.
6. Unsound Educational Program
Staff found several indicators of an unsound educational program, particularly in the areas of special education and English Learner services.
7. Demonstrably Unlikely to Implement the Program
The concerns described throughout this document and the Staff Analysis and Proposed Findings of Fact regarding deficiencies in the description of the required charter elements, budget issues, issues regarding compliance with the law and other identified areas of concern serve to establish that the petitioner is demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the petition. For example, concerns in the area of revenues and expenditures include: (1) Inconsistencies within submitted budget and budget reporting requirements. (2) Inaccurate data in determining enrollment and attrition rates. (3) Inaccurate budgeting for staffing costs. (4) Lack of details regarding Prop 39 requirements and lack of contingency plans for facility shortfall and (5) Lack of accurate cash flow due to miscalculations beginning year 0.
8. Grade Level, Location, Students Served
The petition meets requirements to serve students in the grade levels specified and facilities to be located within San Jose Unified School District.
9. Other Criteria in Statute
The Petition seeks what is effectively a six year term through June 30, 2023, though five years is the maximum term permitted pursuant to the Charter Schools Act.
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff reviewed the Petition utilizing the criteria for approval set forth in Education Code Section 47605. Based upon its comprehensive review and analysis of the Petition, Staff finds that approving the Petition would not be consistent with sound educational practice because the Charter School presents an unsound educational program for the pupils to be enrolled in the Charter School; the petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the Petition; and the Petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of all of the required elements, including but not limited to the Education Program, Measurable Pupil Outcomes, Method of Measuring Pupil Outcomes, Employee Qualifications, Health and Safety, Admissions Requirements, Student Suspension and Expulsion, and Fiscal and Budget Analysis. Accordingly, staff recommends that the Board take action to deny this Petition by adoption of the Resolution to Deny setting forth written factual findings and incorporating by reference the factual findings set forth in Staff Analysis and Proposed Findings of Fact dated August 16, 2017, specific to the Perseverance Preparatory School Charter Petition, supporting denial of the Charter.

This report reflects budget revisions for the month of July 2017. If an expenditure budget is increased, it is supported either by an increase in revenue, a decrease in carryover (use of carryover), a decrease in fund balance or any combination of the three. If an expenditure budget is decreased, the result could be due to a decrease to estimated revenue, or an increase to credit it back to fund balance.
During the month of July 2017, we increased expenditure budgets by $3,980,298, increased revenue by $2,699,168 and reduced fund balance by $1,281,130.
