Findings 4 findings

Outside walkways have broken asphalt posing a hazard (trips and falls) for inmates and prison personnel.

The grounds are barren. Lawns and landscape are lacking throughout the yards outside.

The written program describing the “Resource Center” and its services (found in the Minutes of November 2014) is global with not enough information of who is responsible for the activity. In some instances it lacks dates of when a certain activity will start or be completed.

Did not see documentation of student or parent participation in current program.

Box 2011, El Centro, CA 92243. 2014-2015 Imperial County Civil Grand Jury Final Report of Findings Complaint #2 SUBJECT Regarding Grace Smith School in Niland Lacking Administration presence, Calipatria Unified School District (CUSD) serves the City of Calipatria and the City of Niland schools JUSTIFICATION: The Civil Grand Jury has the responsibility of investigating complaints received by its residents; as well as the responsibility to investigate various county agencies on a 5 year rotating cycle. Complaint #2 was received stating that Administration’s presence is not visible at Grace Smith School in Niland. However, there are stipends being paid to two (2) CUSD administrators and mileage is also being paid without mileage expense claims being submitted. Background: Grace Smith School is a Kinder through 4th grade elementary school in Niland, CA and under the jurisdiction of Calipatria Unified School District with an enrollment of 82 students for the year 2014-2015. There are 5 teachers assigned to the school and Administration includes the Superintendent (paid a $5,000 stipend) and an Associate Superintendent (paid a $20,000 stipend). On April 2, 2015, members or the Civil Grand Jury met with Calipatria Unified School District (CUSD) Superintendent and asked specific questions regarding allegations on the formal complaint. The Superintendent confirmed that Administration holds weekly meetings with teachers, attends to discipline that may be needed at the school, and participates in monthly award assemblies. All teachers are trained in the guidelines and safety procedures to be followed at the school. Administration is 8 minutes away. However, Superintendents may not be perceived as constant “principals” at Grace Smith School due to the many responsibilities they have within the unified school district as a whole.
