INFORMATION REPORT NO. 1
TO: Board of Education
FROM: Dr. Vivian Ekchian, Superintendent
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Dickinson, Chief Business and Financial Officer
SUBJECT: GUSD Plan to Maintain District Solvency and Financial
Responsibility
NOTE: This report and attached presentation are being written prior to a complete
review and analysis of the May Revise. The presentation on May 19, 2020 will include
the most up-to-date information available.
Fiscal outlook reports are indicating that California is in a deep economic recession due to
the impact of COVID-19. However, there are many uncertainties about it including – how
long it will last, what the effect on revenue will be, and the extent of federal relief aid.
The Department of Finance (DOF) provided a fiscal update that anticipates a total state
deficit for 2020-21 of $54 billion (sum of $13b in increased COVID-19 costs and $41b in
revenue loss), which is about 25% of the total state budget. Specifically, DOF projects that
General Fund (GF) revenues will decline by a total of $41.2 billion from the projection
provided in the January Governor’s Budget, as follows:
2018-19: +$0.7 billion
2019-20: -$9.7 billion
2020-21: -$32.2 billion
The bulk of this decline is due to a projected 25.5% decrease in personal income tax (PIT)
revenues, which generates almost 70% of GF revenues.
The corresponding reduction to the Proposition 98 guarantee for schools is estimated to be
$19 billion. This would represent a -22% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) or an average
reduction of $2,300 per average daily attendance (ADA). For GUSD, this would equate to
a revenue reduction of nearly $60 million or 25% of the district’s LCFF revenue. Large
cash deferrals are also proposed as part of the state’s budget solutions.

May 19, 2020
INFORMATION REPORT NO. 1
Page 2
Due to the uncertainties surrounding the May Revise, school business professional and
advocacy organizations (CSBA, CASBO, School Services of California and FCMAT) have
recommended school districts develop different scenarios related to the LCFF funding for
2020-21 and the future years. Based on these recommendations, below are a number of
possible scenarios:
Baseline/Pre-COVID – Recall that all of these scenarios are changes from the pre-
COVID scenario that public education would be receiving COLA increases of 2-3%
each year. Even in this scenario which was used during our Second Interim Report on
March 10, 2020, the estimated budget reduction needed for 2021-22 was about $8
million.
Best Case – In this scenario, the LCFF is unchanged or a 0% COLA. This scenario
projects an estimated budget reduction for 2021-22 of $24 million.
Mid-Level Case – In this scenario, the LCFF is reduced by 5%. This scenario projects
an estimated budget reduction for 2021-22 of $48 million.
Worst Case – In this scenario, the LCFF is reduced by 10%. This scenario projects an
estimated budget reduction for 2021-22 of $72 million.
Note that these scenarios assume that the current $5 million budget reduction for 2020-21
is implemented as it was planned and approved on March 10, 2020. There are, of course,
still many unknown about how the 2020-21 school year will be operated and what additional
costs may be incurred.
Upon adoption of the GUSD 2020-21 budget in June 2020, the District’s multi-year
projection will include the two future fiscal years 2021-22 and 2022-23. The Los Angeles
County Office of Education (LACOE) requires that the District will be able to meet its
financial obligations for this time period to keep a “Positive Certification.” The district will
have to at least put in large “placeholder” budget reductions for 2021-22 and 2022-23 and
then follow-up with the detailed reduction plans.
There are still a number of variables that could negatively impact the budget situation
including: enrollment, average daily attendance percentage (ADA), unduplicated student
count, future LCFF revenue, labor contract negotiations, and the potential territory transfer.

There are also a number of variables that could positively impact the budget situation
including: additional federal relief, enrollment hold harmless, flexibility on instructional
minutes and/or days, and flexibility to negotiate furlough days. These and other details
about the May Revise will be coming out in the coming days and weeks.
All school districts in California are in a very similar financial position, or much worse, and
are looking at how to finish this school year and reopen in the fall. So it is imperative that
GUSD and all of its constituents continue conversations with state and federal
representatives about the critical importance of public education funding.
NOTE: This report and attached presentation are being written prior to a complete
review and analysis of the May Revise. The presentation on May 19, 2020 will include
the most up-to-date information available.

INFORMATION REPORT NO. 2
TO: Board of Education
FROM: Dr. Vivian Ekchian, Superintendent
SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Kelly King, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services
PREPARED BY: Dr. Chris Coulter, Director, Teaching and Learning
Shawna Metcalf, Teacher Specialist, Teaching and Learning
SUBJECT: Extending Length of Adoption for Science Instructional
Materials – Grades 6-8
Background:
Beginning in the spring of 2019, Glendale Unified began the process for adopting
instructional materials aligned with the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA
NGSS) using the CA NGSS Toolkit for Instructional Materials Evaluation (CA NGSS
TIME). The Science Review Committee, comprised of a representative group of teachers
in grades 6-8, evaluated available programs from September 2019 to February 2020 and
reached consensus on the recommendation that Glendale Unified adopt Green Ninja as the
science instructional materials for grades 6-8. On April 7, 2020, the Board of Education
approved the recommendation with a six-year proposed adoption.
Update:
The initial recommendation for adoption in grades 6-8 was for six years. This length of
time was recommended prior to the selection of the K-5 and high school materials selection
and was based on the expectation that publishers would update materials prior to the next
statewide adoption. Upon further review of the cost associated with the adoption of Green
Ninja along with the K-5 and 9-12 adoptions for six years versus eight years, it was
determined that there would be substantial per year cost savings with the longer adoptions
in each case. For Green Ninja specifically, the cost per year with a six-year adoption is
approximately $500,000 and the cost per year for an eight-year adoption drops to
approximately $412,500. An eight-year adoption will save $87,500 per year over the life
of the adoption. The Teaching and Learning Department also researched the likelihood of
publisher improvements prior to the next statewide adoption and determined that it is
unlikely that there will be significant changes or updates to current programs that will make
these programs exceed the quality of Green Ninja.

Staff recommends extending the length of the Green Ninja adoption for science
instructional materials in grades 6-8 to eight years, coinciding with the K-5 and 9-12
adoptions.

during the summer of 2019. The scope of work completed in summer of 2019 included,
installation of playground equipment, paving, installation of ball walls, tree removal,
installation of basketball courts, painting and flooring for a total cost of $356,913. The
remaining portions of this project will be completed during summer 2020. This project

SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Dickinson, Chief Business and Financial Officer
PREPARED BY: Christine Ward, Director, Procurement & Contract Services
SUBJECT: Approve an Addendum to Transportation Contract with First Student,
Inc. for the Remainder of the 2019-20 School Year
The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Education approve an addendum to the transportation contract with First Student, Inc. for payments during school closure due to COVID-19 for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year with a rate reduction of twenty percent (20%).
On March 5, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a Statre of Emegency due to COVID-19. On March 17, 2020, Senate Bill 117 was approved and made effective immediately, which includes the intent of the Legislature that school districts receiving hold harmless apportionments ensure that their employees and contractors are paid, as reasonably anticipated, as if school had not been closed. During disscusions with First Student, Inc. it was determined that most of their costs are directly related to personnel and equipment as required per contract and existing routes scheduled for the 19-20 school year. Operational costs in the form of fuel, oil, tires, maintenance have been reduced since school closure, which may be a cost reduction of approximately 12% to 20%. Staff is recommending approval of the attached Addendum to pay First Student, Inc. from April 6, 2020 through June 30, 2020 at reduced rate of twenty (20%) of their monthly service fee for home to school routes that existed prior to school closure.
In support of Board priority #4 – Manage district financial resources and facilities to support
optimal learning, healthy working conditions, and strong enrollment to ensure long-term stability.

SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Adjustment for the Balboa Elementary School
Portables Project
The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Education approve
a budget adjustment for the Balboa Elementary School Portables
Project in the amount of $600,000, funded by Developer Fees funds.
On November 28, 2017, the Board approved a project and preliminary budget allocation for the
installation of portable buildings at Balboa Elementary School in the amount of $500,000. In May
2019, Procurement & Contract Services completed the solicitation of bids for the Balboa Elementary
School Playground Renovation Project. Staff received and opened five (5) bids for the project, with
the four (4) eligible bids all being over the total project budget. The rejection of these bids was
approved by the Board on June 4, 2019.
On June 14, 2019, Planning, Development and Facilities (PDF) staff notified the Board of the
updated status of the project and noted that the preliminary budget would be reviewed and revised
in the coming months. Following the rejection of the bids, School staff worked collaboratively with
PDF staff to identify various site needs that needed to be completed during the summer of 2019.
The scope of work completed in summer of 2019 included, installation of playground equipment,
paving, installation of ball walls, tree removal, installation of basketball courts, painting and flooring
for a total cost of $356,913. The remaining portions of this project will be completed during summer
2020. This project will include the following:
Installation of a 24’ x 60’ two-room portable building
Installation of new underground utilities
Removal of temporary overhead power/cable lines
Renovation of entire playground asphalt and restriping
Installation of v-gutter
Staff has determined that an additional budget allocation of $600,000 will be required in order to
complete the project. This would increase the total project budget to $1,100,000. Following this
approval, staff present the Board with an award of bid for the remaining work on the project,
including installation of the building and site work. This project is funded by Developer Fee funds.

SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Darneika Watson, Chief Human Resources and Operations Officers
SUBJECT: Variable Term Waiver Request for California Basic Skills Test
(CBEST) for the 2019-2020 School Year
The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Education approve the
Variable Term Waiver Request for Samantha Ochoa on a waiver permit based on
an insufficient number of fully credentialed teachers who meet the District’s
employment criteria for the needed position.
Samantha Ochoa is currently assigned to the position of Special Education Teacher, College
View School. An application has been submitted to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing
for the above waiver request. In the meantime, he has been issued a Temporary County
Certificate from the Los Angeles County Office of Education to serve in this position.
Notwithstanding, Glendale Unified School District will hire waiver permit teachers only when
qualified, capable, fully certified teachers are unavailable.
This Waiver Request will remain in force until June 30, 2020. Submission of the Waiver request
by the local education agency is a prerequisite to the issuance of any waiver permit by the
California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. California Code of Regulations Section
80120 requires that the request for the waiver be adopted by the Governing Board at a regularly
scheduled, public meeting of the Board. The waiver will provide teachers additional time to
complete the requirements for the credential that authorizes the service assigned. The waiver is
based on last year’s actual needs, projected student enrollment and staffing allocations for the
2019-2020 school year.
Our continued District Priority is to recruit and hire fully credentialed and qualified teachers, but
where that may not be possible, this will help ensure that the District has the correct people in
each position, and appropriate professional development, time, and support to be successful in
their jobs.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
1. School Nutrition Employee Week - May 4-8, 2020 we celebrate School Nutrition Employee Week. Even while we are remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our school nutrition employees are working on the frontline every day, preparing and serving nutritious meals to children. Every year, but this year, in particular, their contributions to the school district are worthy of special recognition.
2. National School Nurse Day - May 6, 2020 is National School Nurse Day and is sponsored by the National Association of School Nurses. Nurses play an important role in maintaining the wellness of students, as well as providing valuable resources on health-related issues to staff, parents, and the community. They work behind the scenes, but their contributions to the school district are worthy of special recognition. Michelle Green, Health Services Coordinator for the district, accepted a certificate of appreciation from the Board of Education.
3. Teacher Appreciation - May4 - 8,2020 we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5, 2020 is National Teacher Appreciation Day, and May 13, 2020 is California Day of the Teacher. The Board of Education invited Glendale Teachers Association president Taline Arsenian to attend the meeting via Zoom as we recognize and appreciate the pivotal role our teachers play in preparing children for college, career, and life. Students from Balboa Elementary presented a video in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day.
STUDENT BOARD MEMBER REPORT
Student Board Member Janet Louie provided some updates on school activities and focused on the efforts that students and teachers have been making to make the community strong during these times and on remote learning. AP testing is coming up, May 11-22, 2020. She reached out to high school students regarding remote learning. As expected, there were different opinions among the students. She read comments from students regarding their experience with online learning. The most problems students have centers around the lack offace-to-face interactions with their teachers. The most positive reactions came from students who felt their teachers have done a thorough enough job in explaining the assignments. Time and constant communication continue to prove to be the best influence on remote learning system.
PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
1. John Ballon, Franklin Elementary parent, said he is grateful to Dr. Ekchian for the excellent information listed on the GUSD COVID-19 resource page. He spoke of some Facebook posts entered by the Board president that contradicts the guidance that medical science is asking everyone to follow. He felt the posts were not accurate. When he and several other parents posted fact-based rebuttals, she blocked them.
MINUTES: May 5,2020- Regular Board Meeting
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS (Continued)
One of our LCAP goals is engagement. When our Board president is blocking parents, you risk alienating some of our most engaged parents. Our community should know which posts represent the views of GUSD and which do not. You are free to post what you would like, but as we have seen, words have consequences. He is standing for the truth today.
2. Monna Johnson, president of the Glendale Council PTA, congratulated Dr. Gharpetian for being selected president of the Board. She thanked Dr. Ekchian for her leadership and for cultivating a collaborative culture for all stakeholders. This week we honor our teachers for their dedication to our students. They understand the tremendous responsibility that the pandemic has placed on our teachers and administrators, and they cannot thank them enough for ensuring that our students have a quality education. She thanked the Nutrition Services Department for feeding our families during this crisis. In the spirit of the collaboration with GUSD, Glendale Council PTA delivered a letter regarding their experiences with remote learning. She thanked Dr. Ekchian and GT A for responding to their letter and for considering their recommendations. What they have noticed is that remote education is overly reliant on independent study. Active instruction is not required. Quality and frequency of communication is inconsistently experienced and not adequately mandated. Stated expectations for performance are not defined and are inconsistently applied within and among school sites and grade levels. The lack of uniformity in remote learning platforms overly burdens students and families. They seek clearly defined expectations and goals in a robust remote learning model at GUSD, steamline tools to develop widespread proficiency among all users, and to equip families in their new role as critical partners in the remote classroom.

REPORTS FROM THE BOARD
Ms. Nahabedian recognized Cinco de Mayo. She was at the World Languages Advisory Committee meeting with Dr. Ekchian. The Adelante Latinos Committee's next meeting is May 11. She enjoyed the Toll Middle School PTA webinar on how we can help our kids at home. She was reminded we really exist because we educate
MINUTES: May 5, 2020-- Regular Board Meeting
REPORTS FROM THE BOARD (Continued)
kids. We need to do right by our students and give the tools and support that the adults need so they can do right for their students. We had some good examples today. Having some face-to-face contact with their teachers is a powerful piece. Teaching is about engaging and demonstrating care. We received a letter from the Glendale Council PTA regarding their concerns about the over reliance on independent studies. This has been an emergency situation. As we move further, let's look at the wonderful presentations where they are actively doing instruction and showing up for their students. It has been four weeks of remote learning. Let's work together so we can prepare our students for the next level.
Mr. Sahakian acknowledged all the recognitions today. We are truly learning together. Last night he and Dr. Gharpetian were on the GHS PTA zoom meeting. Also, last week we had an implicit bias training with Dr. ShaUll Harper from USC Equity Center with over 100 employees participating. He thanked Dr. Ekchian for making it possible for the Board to join in the classrooms to experience virtual learning. He attended several classes. He acknowledged the Glendale Council PTA letter as well. The parents have identified some concerns. Weare going to improve. Ultimately, we will determine the future of the school district together. We will be stronger together.
Mrs. Freemon said the Board met Dr. Ekchian one year ago and she is happy she is on board. We are still able to celebrate our nutrition workers, teachers, nurses, even though it looks different. We are working in a crisis mode. What that looks like is different for everyone. We are starting to see the importance of teachers interacting with students. The PTA letter has articulated the feedback we have been getting. It was wonderful to see best practices; the personal connection. We are in a people business. Today, she participated in a remote Roosevelt PTA meeting; they had a greater turnout. We have now developed skillsets we did not have before. We are still serving meals and we will continue serving meals.
Mr. Krikorian said he received some emails in response to his comments today about the challenges our students and teachers are facing. As leaders, we need to speak up. We have mentors and teacher aids. He suggested we "buddy up" teachers with college students in the teaching program to assist. He wished all the mothers in the district a Happy Mother's Day this Sunday. He is excited for the future, although it may not look the same. He also participated in the implicit bias training with Dr. Shaun Harper.
Dr. Ghametian attended the GHS PTA virtual meeting. It was a great turnout. She attended four classrooms virhJally. It is priceless when students have face-to-face interactions with their teachers. She participated in the implicit bias training for administrators. We had over 117 participants. She hopes we will continue this training in the future. She participated in the parent support group, coordinated by Dr. Hin Magran, Student Wellness Services. One mom said her seven-year old son has had no interaction with the teacher and classmates. Our students need to see their teachers. She was able to participate in the Verdugo Schools-to-Career Coalition meeting. They were getting updates from different organizations. She would like to

request a staff member to attend the next meeting. The Toll parent forum on mental health was a great success. It was well done and was organized by the Toll PTA and GUSD staff. AP exams are coming up; students are getting ready. In the coming weeks, we will have more presentations on school opening and summer school. Our board meetings are a perfect example of physical distancing. We have hand sanitizers; everyone wears a mask when entering the building. She wished everyone a Happy Mother's Day, and wished Dr. Ekchian a happy first year anniversary with GUSD. Having Dr. Ekchian on board has made a big difference.
REPORT FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dr. Ekchian said as we move forward and continue to evaluate our processes for remote learning, she will work in collaboration with GTA leadership, site-based teachers, principals, support staff, district staff, parents, and students. It is a complex challenge we face overnight. Additionally, a survey will be going out to parents. She learned that students taldng the AP exam could use a quiet place for testing. We have facilitated the board room for them and will offer proctored exam testing. The district office has been open every day. Students are asked to contact us, and we will make the arrangements. It has been a pleasure serving this community.

SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Kelly King, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services
PREPARED BY: Dr. Rebeca Andrade, Director, Early Education and Extended
Learning Programs
SUBJECT: Approval of Monthly Fee Structure for EEELP Self-
Supporting Program for 2020-2021
The Superintendent recommends that the Board of
Education approve the Early Education and Extended
Learning Programs Department (EEELP) move to a
monthly fee structure rather than a daily rate structure for
the School-Age Before- and After-School Self Supporting
Program.
Effective July 1, 2020, the Early Education and Extended Learning Programs Department
(EEELP) will move to a monthly fee structure rather than a daily rate structure. EEELP
will not be raising fees at this time of COVID-19, even though there has been an increase
in the Standard Reimbursement Rate (SRR) with the Budget Act of 2019, as doing so
would have a significant negative economic impact on families. Rather, this monthly fee
structure is based on the SRR of $47.98 as established by the Budget Act of 2018. The
department is notifying the state of this decision.
The practice of monthly fees was utilized by EEELP years ago and is being reinstituted in
response to the challenges parents have voiced in understanding the current billing and
invoicing framework. A set monthly fee will make it easier for families to anticipate the
cost of—and plan ahead for—their before- and after-school care needs as well as decrease
the time needed for staff to prepare invoices. The fee structure change applies only to the
School-Age Before-and-After-School self-supporting program. Self-supporting
preschool already utilizes a monthly fee structure.
The monthly fees are calculated based on the SRR daily rate of $47.98, adjusted for hours
attended, multiplied by 180 days of operation, divided by 10 months of billing, and

Course Content-First Semester Unit 1: Digital Information (2 weeks) Students explore how computers store complex information like numbers, text, images and sound and debate the impacts of digitizing information. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 2.1 - A variety of abstractions built upon binary sequences can be used to represent all digital data. 3.3 - There are trade offs when representing information as digital data. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) DA - Data & Analysis Sample student task: Develop a Heuristic Vocabulary Heuristic: A problem solving approach (typically an algorithm) to find a satisfactory solution where finding an optimal or exact solution is impractical or impossible. Continue working on compressing your poem using the Text Compression Widget. As you do so, develop a set of rules, or a “heuristic” that generally seems to provide good results.
• Record your heuristic as a list of steps that someone else unfamiliar with the problem could follow and still end up with decent compression.
• Trade your heuristics with another group. Are they clear and specific enough that you always know what to do? If not, provide feedback to one another and improve your heuristics to provide clearer instructions.
• Using another group’s heuristic, attempt to compress one or more of the poems in the tool. Record the amount of compression you achieve.
Unit 2: The Internet (3 weeks) Students learn about how the Internet works and debate its impacts on politics, culture, and the economy.

CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming DA - Data & Analysis NI - Networks & the Internet Sample task: The 2-bit Message Exchange Challenge! Students will practice relaying a 2-bit sequence with their partners. The goal is to exchange 2-bit messages (partner sends a 2-bit message, other partner sends a 2-bit message back) as quickly and accurately as possible. In other words, students are trying to get the fastest bit rate possible.
• Each initial sender should be able to confirm that the message was received correctly and resent because the message that they have received is the same as the original.
• As students iterate and perfect their protocol, they should try to extend their protocol to send more bits or send them more quickly, while maintaining accuracy.
Unit 3: Intro to App Design (4 weeks) Students design an app while learning both fundamental programming concepts and collaborative software development processes. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CL - Collaboration CPP - Computing Practice & Programming CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 5.1 - Programs can be developed for creative expression, to satisfy personal curiosity, to create new knowledge, or to solve problems (to help people, organizations, or society). 5.2 - People write programs to execute algorithms. 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming Sample task: Students read and use App Lab’s API documentation to learn about new turtle commands that they must use to complete a series of drawing puzzles.

• API - a collection of commands made available to a programmer • Documentation - a description of the behavior of a command, function, library, API, etc. • Hexadecimal - A base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols 0-9 and A-F to
represent numbers from 0 to 15. • Library - a collection of commands / functions, typically with a shared purpose • Parameter - An extra piece of information passed to a function to customize it for a specific
need Unit 4: Variables, Conditionals, and Functions (5 weeks) Students expand the types of apps they can create by adding the ability to store information, make decisions, and better organize code. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CL - Collaboration CPP - Computing Practice & Programming CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 2.2 - Multiple levels of abstraction are used to write programs or create other computational artifacts 5.3 - Programming is facilitated by appropriate abstractions. 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming CS - Computing Systems
Sample task: Define a function called turnAround which turns the turtle around. Once you've defined the function call it to make sure it works as you expect and then move the turtle forward, as shown below.
Remember typically, you call a function in lines of code above the function definition - this might make you feel like you are working in reverse, since you first write the code to define the function and then add a line to call it. Here is the moveTwice example from the video. You should do something similar for turnAround.
AP Computer Science Principles Page 5
Unit 5: Lists, Loops, and Traversals (5 weeks) Students build apps that use large amounts of information and pull in data from the web to create a wider variety of apps.

• In most instances, they will find that those three pieces of information can uniquely identify them.
Thinking Prompt:
• "Why is it significant that you are one of only a few people with your birthday, gender, and ZIP code? What concerns does this raise?"
Discuss: In small groups or as a full class, students will discuss their responses. The main points to draw out from this conversation are:
• We can be uniquely identified from just a few pieces of information.
AP Computer Science Principles Page 9
• Even information we would not normally consider to be “sensitive” can still be used to identify us.
• There are security and privacy concerns raised as a result of most information about us being available online.

Board Policy (BP) 0420.4 is updated to reflect a new law (AB 1505 and 1595), which
extends the timeline for holding a public hearing to determine the level of support for a
charter petition, extends the timeline for making a final decision to grant or deny the
petition, defines receipt of the petition for the purpose of determining the beginning of this
time period, and requires publishing staff recommendations 15 days prior to the hearing at
which the final decision will be made. As amended, the criteria for reviewing the petition
requires consideration of the interests of the community in which the school is proposing
to locate and prohibit the approval of a new charter school offering nonclassroom-based
instruction until January 1, 2022.

This new policy addresses issues applicable to employees who work from home or another
remote location, whether due to a school closure resulting from a widespread illness,
natural disaster, or other emergency condition or upon the request of an individual
employee. The policy clarifies that there is no entitlement to work remotely and that
employees who are granted the ability to work remotely are subject to the same
compensation, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment appropriate for the
position. The policy also addresses work hours, work environment, use of District
equipment, reimbursement of expenses, safeguarding of District records, evaluation of job
performance, and discontinuance of the remote work arrangement at the District's
discretion.
BP/AR 4113.9 – Department Chairpersons
CSBA Update: N/A
Last GUSD Update: February 2004
At its meeting on May 5, 2020, new Board Policy (BP) 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 regarding
Working Remotely was presented for first reading. The policy was added by the California
School Boards Association (CSBA) in their April policy guidelines update in response to
the coronavirus epidemic. This policy is on the agenda for approval at the May 19, 2020
Board meeting.
Since GUSD already had BP and Administrative Regulation (AR) 4113.5 assigned to
another topic, Department Chairpersons, the BP and AR for Department Chairpersons is
being changed to 4113.9. There are no other changes to the policy/regulation, which
addresses the selection of department chairpersons at secondary schools, other than the
number. CSBA does not currently have a policy or regulation assigned to this number or
for this topic.
BP 5141.52 – Suicide Prevention
CSBA Update March 2020
Last GUSD Update February 2019
This policy is updated using California School Boards Association (CSBA) suggested
language to reflect a new law (AB 1767), which mandates age-appropriate policy on
suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention for students in grades K-6 beginning in
the 2020-21 school year. The revised policy reflects requirements to consult with specified
stakeholders on policy development, coordinate with the county mental health plan

whenever a referral is made for mental health or related services for a student in grades K-
6 who is a Medi-Cal beneficiary, and ensure that employees act within the authorization
and scope of their credential or license. It also reflects a new law (AB 34), which requires
the District, beginning in the 2020-21 school year, to post its suicide prevention policy in
a prominent location on its web site.
BP 5144.1 – Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process
CSBA Update March 2020
Last GUSD Update December 2018
BP 5144.1 is revised to reflect a new law (SB 419), which prohibits districts from
suspending students in grades 4-8 for disrupting school activities or willfully defying the
authority of school personnel. The revised policy also references a new law (AB 982),
which requires a district to provide a student who is suspended for two or more days with
the homework assigned during the period of suspension.
BP 6172.1 – Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes
CSBA Update March 2020
Last GUSD Update August 2018
This policy is updated to include exceptions in determining the five percent enrollment cap
on the number of students at each grade level who may be recommended for community
college summer session and to reflect a new law (AB 1729), which extends such exceptions
through January 1, 2027. The revised policy reflects another new law (SB 554), which
authorizes an adult education student pursuing a high school diploma or high school
equivalency certificate to attend community college as a special part-time student. The
policy adds new sections for districts that wish to establish a College and Career Access
Pathways (CCAP) partnership program, in which the board enters into an agreement with
the governing board of a community college district to offer or expand dual enrollment
opportunities for students who may not already be college bound or are unrepresented in
higher education.
Upon approval of the Board Policies, new or revised Administrative Regulations will be
presented as needed following the normal District process.
Copies of the new and revised policies are attached to this report.

Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 1 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization The Board of Education recognizes that charter schools may assist the District in offering diverse learning opportunities for students. In considering any petition to establish a charter school within the District, the Board shall give thoughtful consideration to the potential of the charter school to provide students with a high-quality education that enables them to achieve to their fullest potential. One or more persons may submit a petition for a charter school to be established within the District or for the conversion of an existing District school to a charter school. (Education Code 47605) Any petition for a charter school shall include all components, signatures, and statements required by law as specified in the accompanying administrative regulation. The proposed charter shall be attached to the petition. (Education Code 47605)
The Superintendent or designee shall consult with legal counsel, as appropriate, regarding compliance of the charter proposals with legal requirements. The Superintendent or designee may work with charter school petitioners prior to the formal submission of the petition in order to ensure compliance of the petition with legal requirements. As needed, the Superintendent or designee also may meet with the petitioners to establish workable plans for contracted services which the District may provide to the proposed charter school.
The Board shall not require any District student to attend the charter school nor shall it require any District employee to work at the charter school. (Education Code 47605) A. Timelines for Board Action
Within 60 days of formally receiving a charter petition, the Board of Education shall hold a public hearing at which time the Board shall consider the level of support for the petition by teachers, other employees of the District, and parents/guardians. A petition is deemed received on the day the petitioner submits a petition to the District office, along with a signed certification that the petitioner deems the petition to be complete. (Education Code 47605) The Board shall either grant or deny the petition at a public hearing held within 90 days of receiving the petition, or within 120 days with the consent of both the petitioner and the Board. (Education Code 47605)
Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 2 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization
At least 15 days before the public hearing at which the Board will grant or deny the charter, the District shall publish all staff recommendations regarding the petition, including any recommended findings and, if applicable, certification from the County Superintendent of Schools regarding the potential fiscal impact of the charter school on the District. During the public hearing, the petitioners shall have equal time and opportunity to present evidence and testimony in response to the staff recommendations and findings. (Education Code 47605) The Superintendent or designee shall maintain accurate records, in relation to each charter petition, of documents submitted, the Board's proceedings, and the findings upon which the Board's decision is made.
B. Approval of Petition
1. A charter petition shall be granted only if the Board is satisfied that doing so is consistent with sound educational practice and the interests of the community in which the school is proposing to locate. In granting charters, the Board shall consider the academic needs of the students the charter school proposes to serve and shall give preference to petitions that demonstrate the capability to provide comprehensive learning experiences for students who are identified by the petitioner as academically low-achieving, based on standards established by California Department of Education. (Education Code 47605)
2. Prior to authorizing any charter, the Board of Education shall verify that the
charter includes adequate processes and measures for monitoring and holding the school accountable for fulfilling the terms of its charter and complying with all applicable law, including Education Code 47604.1. Such processes and measures shall include, but are not limited to, fiscal accountability systems, multiple measures for evaluating the educational program, inspection and observations of any part of the charter school, and regular reports to the Board.
3. The approval or denial of a charter petition shall not be controlled by collective
bargaining agreements nor subject to review or regulation by the Public Employment Relations Board. (Education Code 47611.5)
4. The Board may approve one or more memoranda of understanding to clarify the
financial and operational agreements between the District and the charter school. Any such memorandum of understanding shall be annually reviewed by the Board and charter school governing body and amended as necessary.
Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 3 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization
5. The Board of Education may initially grant a charter for a specified term not to
exceed five years. (Education Code 47607) 6. When a petition is approved by the Board, it shall be the responsibility of the
petitioners to provide written notice of the Board's approval and a copy of the charter to the County Superintendent of Schools, the CDE, and the State Board of Education (SBE). (Education Code 47605)
C. Denial of Petition
The Board shall summarily deny any charter petition that proposes to: 1. Operate a charter school as or by a for-profit corporation, a for-profit educational
management organization, or a for-profit charter management organization. (Education Code 47604)
2. Convert a private school to a charter school. (Education Code 47602)
3. Serve students in a grade level that is not served by the District, unless the petition
proposes to serve students in all the grade levels served by the District. (Education Code 47605)
4. Offer nonclassroom-based instruction. (Education Code 47512.7)
Regarding all other charter petitions, the Board shall deny a petition only if the Board makes written factual findings specific to the petition that one or more of the following conditions exist. (Education Code 47605; CCR 11967.5.1)
1. The charter school presents an unsound educational program that has a likelihood
of physical, educational, or psychological harm to, or which is not likely to provide an educational benefit for, the students 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 the number of signatures required.
Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 4 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization
4. The petition does not contain a clear, unequivocal statement described in Education Code 47605(e), including that the charter school will be nonsectarian and that the school shall not charge tuition or discriminate against any student based on the characteristics specified in Education Code 220.
5. The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of the
charter provisions in Education Code 47605(c). 6. The petition does not contain a declaration as to whether or not the charter school
shall be deemed the exclusive public school employer of the school's employees for purposes of collective bargaining pursuant to Government Code 3540-3549.3.
7. The charter school is demonstrably unlikely to serve the interests of the entire
community in which the school is proposing to locate. Analysis of this finding shall include consideration of the fiscal impact of the proposed charter school. A written factual finding shall detail specific facts and circumstances regarding:
a. The extent to which the proposed charter school would substantially
undermine existing services, academic offerings, or programmatic offerings.
b. Whether the proposed charter school would duplicate a program currently
offered within the District, when the existing program has sufficient capacity for the students proposed to be served within reasonable proximity to where the charter school intends to locate.
8. The District is not positioned to absorb the fiscal impact of the proposed charter
school. The District meets this criterion if it has a negative interim certification, or has a qualified interim certification and the County Superintendent certifies that approving the charter school would result in the District having a negative interim certification.
The Board shall not deny a petition based on the actual or potential costs of serving students with disabilities, nor shall it deny a petition solely because the charter school might enroll students with disabilities who reside outside the special education local plan area in which the District participates. (Education Code 47605.7, 47647)
D. Appeals
Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 5 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization
If the Board denies a petition, the petitioners may choose to submit the petition to the County Board of Education and, if then denied by the County Board, to the SBE. (Education Code 47605)
At the request of the petitioner, the Board shall prepare the documentary record, including a transcript of the public hearing at which the Board denied the charter, no later than 10 business days after the petitioner makes the request. (Education Code 47605)
Within 30 days of receipt of an appeal submitted to SBE, the Board may submit a written opposition to SBE detailing, with specific citations to the documentary record, how the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the petition. (Education Code 47605)
If either the County Board or SBE remands the petition to the Board because the petition on appeal contains new or different material terms, the Board shall reconsider the petition and shall grant or deny the petition within 30 days. (Education Code 47605)

Glendale Unified School District BP 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 Board Policy Page 1 of 2 Personnel Working Remotely The Governing Board recognizes that working remotely at home or at another alternative location may be necessary at times when widespread illness, natural disaster, or other emergency condition makes the school or worksite unsafe or otherwise interrupts the District's ability to effectively conduct operations at the school or worksite. A full-time, part-time, or short-term remote work arrangement may also be granted by the Superintendent or designee to an individual employee, upon request, provided that the position is suitable for remote work, the employee has consistently demonstrated the ability to work independently and meet performance expectations, and the work arrangement does not hinder District operations. The opportunity to work remotely shall be entirely at the District's discretion, and no grievance or appeal right may arise from District denial of any employee request for remote work. Employees approved for remote work shall comply with all District policies, administrative regulations, work schedules, and job assignments. Except when specifically agreed, approval of remote work shall not change the compensation, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment of an employee. Unless otherwise approved in advance by the Superintendent or designee, employees working remotely shall do so within regular work hours established for the position. Employees are entitled and expected to take appropriate, uninterrupted meal and rest breaks, and shall keep accurate records of the hours they work. Employees shall notify their supervisor when unable to perform work assignments due to illness, equipment failure, or other unforeseen circumstances. Employees working remotely are expected to conduct their work in a location that is safe and free of obstructions, hazards, and distractions. Such employees shall report to their supervisor any serious injury or illness occurring in the home workspace or in connection with their employment as soon as practically possible in accordance with Board policy. The District shall provide to employees who work remotely all supplies, materials, apparatus, and equipment reasonably necessary to perform their jobs, including, as necessary, a technology device and Internet access. Employees shall use caution in accessing the Internet from public locations and in accessing information from networks outside of the District in order to safeguard confidential information. Employees shall be responsible for maintaining and protecting equipment on loan from the District and shall adhere to the District's Acceptable Use Agreement. The employee's personally owned equipment may only be used for District business when approved by the Superintendent or designee. Work done at a remote work location is considered official public business. District records and communications shall be retained and safeguarded against damage or loss, and shall be kept
Glendale Unified School District BP 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 Board Policy Page 2 of 2 Personnel Working Remotely confidential or made accessible to the public in accordance with law. Any employee working remotely shall be available during work hours to the employee's supervisor and other staff, students, parents/guardians, and members of the public, as appropriate, via email, phone, or other means. Lack of responsiveness on the part of the employee may result in discipline and/or termination of remote work responsibilities. Employees shall be required to attend virtual or in-person meetings when directed by their supervisor. Employee productivity shall be evaluated on the basis of time spent on tasks and projects, task completion, and quality of job performance in the same manner as all employees in the same position at the assigned school or office. Remote work arrangements may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Superintendent or designee. Legal Reference: Government Code, Sections 6250-6270; 12900-12996

Glendale Unified School District BP 5141.52 Board Policy Page 1 of 3 Students Suicide Prevention The Board of Education recognizes that suicide is a leading cause of death among youth and that school personnel who regularly interact with students are often in a position to recognize the warning signs of suicide and to offer appropriate referral and/or assistance. In an effort to reduce suicidal behavior and its impact on students and families, the Superintendent or designee shall develop measures and strategies for suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. In developing measures and strategies for suicide prevention and intervention, the Superintendent or designee shall consult with school and community stakeholders such as administrators, other staff, parents/guardians, and students; school-employed mental health professionals such as school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, and school nurses; suicide prevention experts such as local health agencies, mental health professionals, and community organizations; law enforcement; and, in developing policy for grades K-6, the county mental health plan. (Education Code 215) The Board shall ensure that measures and strategies for students in grades K-6 are age appropriate and delivered and discussed in a manner that is sensitive to the needs of young students. (Education Code 215) Measures and strategies for suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention shall include, but are not limited to:
1. Staff development on suicide awareness and prevention for teachers, school counselors,
and other District employees who interact with students, as described in the accompanying administrative regulation.
2. Instruction to students in problem-solving and coping skills to promote students' mental,
emotional, and social health and well-being, as well as instruction in recognizing and appropriately responding to warning signs of suicidal intent in others. As a result of this instruction, students should know how to access school-based and community prevention and intervention resources and supports.
3. Methods for promoting a positive school climate that enhances students' feelings of
connectedness with the school and that is characterized by caring staff and harmonious interrelationships among students.
4. The provision of information to parents/guardians regarding risk factors and warning
signs of suicide, the severity of the suicide problem among youth, the District's suicide prevention curriculum, basic steps for helping suicidal youth, and/or school and community resources that can help youth in crisis.
Glendale Unified School District BP 5141.52 Board Policy Page 2 of 3 Students Suicide Prevention 5. Encouragement for students to notify appropriate school personnel or other adults when
they are experiencing thoughts of suicide or when they suspect or have knowledge of another student's suicidal intentions.
6. Crisis intervention procedures for addressing suicide threats or attempts. 7. Counseling and other postvention strategies for helping students, staff, and others cope in
the aftermath of a student's suicide. As appropriate, these measures and strategies shall specifically address the needs of students who are at high risk of suicide, including, but not limited to, students who are bereaved by suicide; students with disabilities, mental illness, or substance use disorders; students who are experiencing homelessness or who are in out-of-home settings such as foster care; and students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning youth. (Education Code 215) If a referral is made for mental health or related services for a student in grade K-6 who is a Medi-Cal beneficiary, the Superintendent or designee shall coordinate and consult with the county mental health plan. (Education Code 215) District employees shall act only within the authorization and scope of their credential or license. Nothing in this policy shall be construed as authorizing or encouraging District employees to diagnose or treat mental illness unless they are specifically licensed and employed to do so. (Education Code 215) The Board shall review, and update as necessary, this policy at least every three years. (Education Code 215) The Superintendent or designee shall post this policy on the District's web site, in a prominent location and in a manner that is easily accessible to parents/guardians and students.

Glendale Unified School District BP 5144.1 Board Policy Page 1 of 5 Students Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process The Board of Education desires to provide District students access to educational opportunities in an orderly school environment that protects their safety and security, ensures their welfare and well-being, and promotes their learning and development. The Board shall develop rules and regulations setting the standards of behavior expected of District students and the disciplinary processes and procedures for addressing violations of those standards, including suspension and/or expulsion. The grounds for suspension and expulsion and the procedures for considering, recommending, and/or implementing suspension and expulsion shall be only those specified in law, in this policy, and in the accompanying administrative regulation. Except when otherwise permitted by law, a student may be suspended or expelled only when his/her behavior is related to a school activity or school attendance occurring within any District school or another school district, regardless of when it occurs, including, but not limited to, the following: (Education Code 48900(s))
1. While on school grounds. 2. While going to or coming from school. 3. During the lunch period, whether on or off the school campus. 4. During, going to, or coming from a school-sponsored activity.
District staff shall enforce the rules concerning suspension and expulsion of students fairly, consistently, equally, and in accordance with the District’s nondiscrimination policies. When a parent/guardian of a student in grades 1-12 who has been suspended for two or more school days requests homework that the student would otherwise have been assigned, the student's teacher must provide such homework; see BP 6154 - Homework/Makeup Work. A. Appropriate Use of Suspension Authority
Except when a student’s act violates Education Code 48900(a)-(e), as listed in items #1-5 under “Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion: Grades K-12” of the accompanying administrative regulation, or when the student’s presence causes a danger to others, suspension shall be used only when other means of correction have failed to bring about proper conduct. (Education Code 48900.5, 48900.6)
A student’s parents/guardians shall be notified as soon as possible when there is an
Glendale Unified School District BP 5144.1 Board Policy Page 2 of 5 Students Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process
escalating pattern of misbehavior that could lead to on-campus or off-campus suspension.
No student in grades K-8 may be suspended for disruption or willful defiance, except by a teacher pursuant to Education Code 48910. (Education Code 48900) Students shall not be suspended or expelled for truancy, tardiness, or absenteeism from assigned school activities.
B. On-Campus Suspension
To ensure the proper supervision and ongoing learning of students who are suspended for any of the reasons enumerated in Education Code 48900 and 48900.2, but who pose no imminent danger or threat to anyone at school and for whom expulsion proceedings have not been initiated, the Superintendent or designee shall establish a supervised suspension classroom program which meets the requirements of law.
Except where a supervised suspension is permitted by law for a student’s first offense, supervised suspension shall be imposed only when other means of correction have failed to bring about proper conduct. (Education Code 48900.5)
C. Authority to Expel
A student may be expelled only by the Board. (Education Code 48918(j))
As required by law, the Superintendent or principal shall recommend expulsion and the Board shall expel any student found to have committed any of the following “mandatory recommendation and mandatory expulsion” acts at school or at a school activity off school grounds: (Education Code 48915)
1. Possessing a firearm which is not an imitation firearm, as verified by a certificated
employee, unless the student had obtained prior written permission to possess the item from a certificated school employee, with the principal or designee’s concurrence.
2. Selling or otherwise furnishing a firearm. 3. Brandishing a knife at another person. 4. Unlawfully selling a controlled substance listed in Health and Safety Code 11053-
11058.
Glendale Unified School District BP 5144.1 Board Policy Page 3 of 5 Students Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process
5. Committing or attempting to commit a sexual assault as defined in Penal Code
261, 266c, 286, 288, 288a, or 289, or committing a sexual battery as defined in Penal Code 243.4.
6. Possessing an explosive as defined in 18 USC 921.
For all other violations listed in the accompanying administrative regulation under “Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion: Grades K-12” and “Additional Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion: Grades 4-12,” the Superintendent or principal shall have the discretion to recommend expulsion of a student. If expulsion is recommended, the Board shall order the student expelled only if it makes a finding of either or both of the following: (Education Code 48915(b) and (e))
a) That other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to
bring about proper conduct.
b) That due to the nature of the violation, the presence of the student causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the student or others.
A vote to expel a student shall be taken in an open session of a Board meeting.
The Board may vote to suspend the enforcement of the expulsion order pursuant to the requirements of law and the accompanying administrative regulation. (Education Code 48917)
No student shall be expelled for disruption or willful defiance. (Education Code 48900) No child enrolled in a preschool program shall be expelled except under limited circumstances as specified in AR 5148.3 - Preschool/Early Childhood Education.
D. Due Process
The Board shall provide for the fair and equitable treatment of students facing suspension and/or expulsion by affording them their due process rights under the law. The Superintendent or designee shall comply with procedures for notices, hearings, and appeals as specified in law and administrative regulation. (Education Code 48911, 48915, 48915.5, 48918)
E. Maintenance and Monitoring of Outcome Data
Glendale Unified School District BP 5144.1 Board Policy Page 4 of 5 Students Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process
The Superintendent or designee shall maintain outcome data related to student suspensions and expulsions in accordance with Education Code 48900.8 and 48916.1, including, but not limited to, the number of students recommended for expulsion, the grounds for each recommended expulsion, the actions taken by the Board, the types of referral made after each expulsion, and the disposition of the students after the expulsion period.

Glendale Unified School District BP 6172.1 Board Policy Page 1 of 2 Instruction Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes The Board of Education desires to provide opportunities for eligible District students to enroll concurrently in courses offered at postsecondary institutions in order to foster individual student achievement, increase opportunities for students to complete college preparatory course requirements and/or participate in career technical education (CTE), and prepare students for a smooth transition into college by providing exposure to the collegiate environment. When it is determined that the postsecondary course in which the student intends to enroll is substantially equivalent to a course provided by the District, the student may receive credit toward high school graduation requirements in addition to credit received from the college. Approval of Concurrent Enrollment The Board may approve a limited number of students of any age or grade level to apply for part-time or full-time concurrent enrollment in a community college or four-year college when it is determined to be in the student's best interest and the student is adequately prepared for such coursework. Upon recommendation of the principal and with parent/guardian consent, the Board may authorize a student to apply for attendance at a community college during any session or term as a special part-time or full-time student and to undertake one or more courses of instruction offered at the community college level. (Education Code 48800) Within the enrollment limits and exceptions allowed by law, the principal may recommend a student for community college summer session if that student demonstrates adequate preparation in the discipline to be studied and exhausts all opportunities to enroll in an equivalent course, if any, at his/her school of attendance. (Education Code 48800) Any student's parent/guardian, regardless of the student’s age or grade level, may petition the Board to authorize special full-time attendance at a community college on the ground that the student would benefit from advanced scholastic or career technical work that would be available. If the petition is denied, an appeal may be filed with the County Board of Education. (Education Code 48800.5) If the Board denies a request for special part-time or full-time enrollment at a community college for a student who is identified as highly gifted and talented, the Board shall issue its written recommendation and the reasons for the denial at its next regularly scheduled Board meeting that falls at least 30 days, but within 60 days, after the request has been submitted. (Education Code 48800, 48800.5)
Glendale Unified School District BP 6172.1 Board Policy Page 2 of 2 Instruction Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes College and Career Access Pathways Partnerships The Board may enter into a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership agreement with the board of a community college district for the purpose of offering or expanding dual enrollment opportunities for students. The agreement shall be approved at an open public Board meeting, with an opportunity for public input provided prior to the Board taking action. If the CCAP agreement provides for CTE pathways, the Board shall consult with and consider input from appropriate local workforce board(s) to determine the extent to which the pathways are aligned with regional and statewide employment needs. (Education Code 76004) Program Evaluation The Superintendent or designee shall regularly report to the Board regarding the number and demographics of District students participating in the concurrent enrollment option, their success in completing college preparatory courses (“a-g” courses) and postsecondary courses, and any impact on their achievement in district courses.
