Board of Education The Honorable Steve White, Presiding Judge Harold Fong Sacramento County Superior Court President

1 SCOE needs to immediately complete, implement, and monitor a detailed comprehensive corrective educational action plan to include all [Sacramento County Department of Probation] SCDP students. The plan is to be based on state standards, the Education Code (including E.C. 48645, et. seq.), and federal law. The results of this corrective action plan should be published yearly. SCOE requires its educators to develop a customized education action plan for each student at Juvenile Hall, to be provided within five days of their enrollment into school. This plan is based on state standards, the California Education Code and federal law. As further detailed above, it uses individual assessment results to create an individually tailored, differentiated instructional learning path for each student and teacher to follow to meet the child’s specific educational needs. This action plan is subject to monitoring under the Settlement Agreement.

1 The proposed idea of SCOE senior management to implement an evening educational program needs to be immediately negotiated with SCOE staff, labor union, and the probation department. If this plan is unworkable, another plan should be developed and negotiated immediately to ensure that all students at juvenile hall have appropriate educational services. Although SCOE is not required by law to provide evening classes to wards of the court, SCOE is committed to upgrading student academic performance. By expanding the school day, students who are credit-deficient, lacking basic literacy skills, and who have failed the California High School Exit Exam would benefit from the additional class time. In addition, those wards who are pulled from the school day for court attendance, medical appointments and the like would be provided make-up time for school in the evening. However, the implementation of this model is dependent upon Probation having the staffing available to provide educational access and support in their facility outside of the regular school day. In light of the deep budget cuts sustained by Probation, it is not yet certain whether this can occur. •

1 Annual training on mandated reporting for all SCPD and SCOE personnel employed at juvenile hall needs to occur. As was explained to the Grand Jury, SCOE understands and acknowledges its responsibilities as mandated reporters. Attachment A is our state mandated requirement for training and information that is provided to all SCOE staff. We meet this requirement by providing an annual workshop which is not restricted to those employees who work at Juvenile Hall but includes all staff who work with any students within SCOE’s student programs.
