Background

EdWeek's Quality Counts 2019 reports California earning an "F" grade for school spending. A regional-cost adjusted $10,281 per student is 20-percent lower than the national average of $12,756.
 

Student Impact

Santa Clara County Board of Education and County Superintendent of Schools urge the California Legislature to protect the property taxes currently raised for public schools, to forgo any efforts to further erode such local property tax allocation to schools, to add a regional cost supplement to the Local Control Funding Formula in those high-cost counties with “excess” educational revenue augmentation, to increase the allocation of property tax to Special Education, reverse historical diversions and increase transparency of local property taxes allocated to education for County Offices of Education.

Michelle Johnson, Ed.D., Director Charter Schools

Background

On November 12, 2019, the Charter Schools Department of the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) received a charter petition renewal appeal request from Alpha: Cornerstone Academy Preparatory School (Cornerstone or CAPS).  Cornerstone is seeking approval to renew a district appeal public charter, which is currently serving approximately 540 students in grades K-8 for a continuing charter term of five years beginning on July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025. Cornerstone was initially approved by Franklin McKinley School District (FMSD) as a K-6th grade charter school in February 2009 for a five-year term.  Cornerstone was renewed in 2015 by FMSD and FMSD also approved a material revision in 2016 to change its governance structure to join Alpha Public Schools (APS or Alpha) and to add 7^th and 8^th grades.  On October 22, 2019, FMSD voted 3-2 to deny Cornerstone’s renewal petition request and CAPS is appealing to the Santa Clara County Board of Education (SCCBOE) for renewal and to have the SCCBOE become its new authorizer.

On November 20, 2019, the County Board held a public hearing on the charter school’s petition for renewal. On November 21, 2019, SCCOE staff conducted a site visit and held renewal interviews with CAPS parents, staff, students, board members and Alpha network/charter management organization (CMO) leadership.

Per Education Code Sections 47605 and 47607 and California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 11966.5, the County Board has 60 days from receipt of the renewal application to act, which may be extended by an additional 30 days by mutual agreement. SCCOE and CAPS have mutually agreed in writing to extend the County Board’s time for acting on the renewal request through and including January 15, 2020.  If the County Board does not approve or deny the appeal of the renewal petition within the agreed upon timeline, the charter petitioner may appeal the renewal to the State Board of Education. 

As per Board Policy 0420.4, APS, Cornerstone, and SCCOE developed a "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) which addresses SCCOE’s best practices regarding the respective fiscal, operational, and administrative responsibilities, and legal relationships. Any other matters not otherwise addressed or resolved by the terms of the Charter, deficiencies in the Charter, or any conditions which may be imposed by SCCBOE will need to be addressed in an addendum to the MOU after the SCCBOE has taken action. This MOU was signed by the petitioner on January 6, 2020.

The complete renewal petition is attached to the agenda and is also available for review at: https://www.sccoe.org/supoffice/charter-schools-office/Pending/Alpha%20Cornerstone%20Preparatory%20Academy%20Renewal%20Petition.pdf

CRITERIA FOR RENEWAL OF A CHARTER PETITION

A petition submitted for renewal per Education Code § 47607 shall be considered by the governing board upon receipt with all of the following requirements (California Code of Regulations, Title 5, §11966.4) for a “de novo” or fresh look review:

1. Determination of Pupil Academic Performance.
2. A Copy of the renewal Charter Petition
3. Increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils served by the charter school
4. Past performance of the school’s academics, finances, and operation in evaluating the likelihood of future success, along with future plans for improvement if any.

STANDARDS FOR DENIAL OF A CHARTER PETITION RENEWAL

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”:

1. The charter school presents an unsound educational program for the pupils to be enrolled in the charter school.
2. The petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the petition.
3. The petition does not contain an affirmation of each of the conditions required by statute.
4. The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of the required elements.
5. The petition does not contain a declaration of whether or not the charter school shall be deemed the exclusive public employer of the employees of the charter school for the purposes of the Educational Employees Relations Act (EERA).
6. Failure to meet one of the criteria set forth in Education Code Section 47607(b) (as applied pursuant to Education Code Section 52052(f)).

REVIEW OF THE PETITION

Staff reviewed the Petition using the criteria established in California Education Code 47605 (b), 47607, and County Board Policy 0420.4 (c) and found:

1. Determination of Academic Performance

Staff reviewed Cornerstone’s academic performance on the California Assessment of Student Performance (CAASPP) and the data reflects academic achievement across significant student subgroups (Socio-Economic Status – SES, English Learners – EL, Special Education – SPED) in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.

Table 1: CAPS CAASPP Data (Percentage at or above standard on CAASPP)

https://caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2019

While Cornerstone students perform above the schools they otherwise would have attended (See table below), there are still slight declines in performance for numerically significant student groups – students with disabilities and English Learners - in ELA.  There is also a decline trend in academic performance from 4^th to 5^th grade when looking at grade level transition data.

Table 2: CAPS CAASPP (four year trend) (Percentage at or above standard on CAASPP) Cohort Data

*no students tested in these grades as Cornerstone did not serve these grades yet

https://caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2019

Table 3: CAPS 2019 SBAC Results with Comparison District and Schools (percentage at or above standard on CAASPP)

https://caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2019

*percentage withheld to protect privacy as fewer than 10 students were tested in this group

As part of an addendum to the new MOU, SCCOE recommends that CAPS include in its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) how it will address the declines in academic performance and provide SCCOE a clear explanation as to the declines, including how the declines will be addressed.   CAPS’s achievement data is adequate to show increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils schoolwide and among numerically significant pupil subgroups to meet the minimum performance requirements of Education Code Section 47607(b)(1)-(3) and to support renewal when considering increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils as the most important factor. 

2. Review of the Charter Petition

a. Unsound Educational Program

Staff concluded that CAPS does provide sufficient information in the Petition to substantiate all of the required elements for a sound educational program.

b. Demonstrably Unlikely to Implement the Program

Staff found facts that demonstrate that the Petitioners are likely to successfully implement the program.

c. Affirmations of each of the conditions required by statute

Staff found that the Petition contains all of the required affirmations.

d. Reasonably comprehensive description of the required elements

Staff found that the petition for renewal does contain a reasonably comprehensive description of all the required elements as set forth in the Staff Analysis and Proposed Findings of Fact and set forth in the Proposed Resolution.

e. Exclusive Employer

The petition contains a statement specifying that Alpha Public Schools network charter management organization (APS or CMO) shall be the exclusive employer of employees of the charter school for purposes of the Educational Employment Relations Act.

f. Requirements for Grade-Levels Served, Facility Location, and Students Served

Staff found the renewal petition meets the requirements set forth in statute.

g. Other Criteria in Statute

The Governor has signed into law AB 1505 which enacts broad changes to the Charter Schools Act and go into effect contemporaneously with the commencement of the renewal term sought by CAPS.  Therefore, CAPS will need to comply with the changes to the law. 

3. Increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils served by the Charter School

Staff reviewed CAPS’s academic data and determined that while CAPS students perform at or above the schools or district they otherwise would have attended, there are still slight declines in performance for numerically significant subgroups in ELA – students with disabilities and English Learners. As part of an addendum to the new MOU, SCCOE recommends that CAPS include in its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) how it will address the declines in academic performance, or in the alternative, provide SCCOE a clear explanation as to the decline and how it will be addressed. Therefore, the criteria of “the authority that granted a charter is required to consider increases in pupil academic achievement for all numerically significant pupil subgroups as the most important factor in deciding whether to renew the Charter  (Education Code Section 47607(a)(3))”  has been fulfilled.

4. Past performance of the school’s academics, finances, and operations in evaluating the likelihood of future success, along with future plans for improvement if any

CAPS exhibits a healthy financial position. The Charter currently has 14.5% in cash reserves. CAPS, the CMO and the Board of Directors have shown strong fiscal oversight. CAPS’s Independent Auditor’s Report and Consolidated Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2018, reports an Unmodified Opinion on the financial statements as a whole, as well as on State and Federal compliance with various laws and regulations.  All fiscal reports as required by law and the SCCOE (i.e. Adopted Budget, First Interim, Second Interim, and Unaudited Actuals) have been received on a timely basis.

REQUESTED ACTION

It is the recommendation of the Charter Staff to approve the Renewal Petition as reviewed in the Staff Analysis and Proposed Findings of Fact, adopt the Board Resolution for approval of renewal of Alpha: Cornerstone Academy Preparatory School, for the period of July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2025.

Student Impact

The Charter School office provides oversight and monitoring for 21 County Board of Education authorized charter schools. Alpha: Cornerstone Academy Preparatory School currently serves approximately 540 students.

Background

This report reflects budget revisions for the month of December 2019. 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 December 2019, expenditure budgets were increased by $1,765,591, increased revenue by $1,568,685 and decreased fund balance by $196,906.

Background

The Early Learning Services Department has received notification from the Administration of Children and Families (ACF) and the Department of Health and Human Services that the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) is eligible to apply for the annual Head Start/Early Head Start grant in the amount of $26,792,330.

The Head Start program will submit its first year of a five-year grant application for FY 2020-21. This grant application must include five-year goals and objectives. Funding is guaranteed for years one through five, so long as the program remains in full compliance with Head Start regulations. The program is scheduled for a federal review in program year 2020. The FY 2020-21 grant application includes incremental changes to address challenges related to increasing personnel costs. These challenges must be resolved before the upcoming federal review to avoid findings which could threaten ongoing funding.

The SCCOE Head Start program currently serves 1,946 children (1,690 preschoolers and 256 infants/toddlers) and families in Santa Clara and San Benito counties. As a result of program increased classroom blending with State Preschool in FY 2019-20, the program design is being modified. The FY 2020-21 grant application proposes to balance the budget through continuing program blending with State Preschool.

The Head Start program has had meetings and discussions with key partners (internal and external) to help review the five-year goals and objectives for the grant, and to vet the proposed enrollment and blending options with State Preschool to serve eligible children and families. Meetings that have been held include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Head Start Family Services/School Readiness Committee: November 5, 2019

• Head Start Health Advisory Committee: November 20, 2019

• Head Start Parent Policy Council: October 19, 2019 and December 14, 2019

• Head Start Management: October 29, 2019

• SCCOE Budget Study Committee: December 11, 2019

• Meetings will be held with staff members to review proposed recommendation for the grant application for program year 2020-21.

   

  Attached are the executive summary and PowerPoint presentation, which provides more details on the planning factors, as well as a summary of the overall grant application.

   

  Fiscal Implications

  These funds will be available May 1, 2020 and will cover program operations through April 30, 2021.
