| With the passing of AB 1369, schools are required to have transparent services and supports in identifying and treating students with dyslexia. In order to better our ability in providing targeted intervention, it is necessary to provide targeted reading curriculum which is aligned with the CA Dyslexia Guidelines.
During the 2017-18 school year, our elementary Special Education teachers spent time as a curriculum committee vetting out the materials they felt most confident in using with our struggling learners within PRJUSD.
The Sonday System is a research based program that supports building the basic student reading skills. It is age neutral, standardized, systematic, and comprehensive. It is a supplemental program which is compatible with our current core curriculum and supplemental supports.

| The current SELPA Local Plan was adopted and approved by the CDE on July 24, 2014. An interim governance structure that suspended the Executive Counsel operated during the 2017-18 year. The SELPA Governing Council voted on May 11, 2018, to restructure the Governance Section of the San Luis Obispo County SELPA Local Plan by eliminating the Executive Committee, based on that model. The proposed revision now needs to be approved by the governing board of each of the participating LEAs and, finally, by the California Department of Education (CDE). The proposed revision as approved by the SELPA Governing Body will serve as an interim plan for up to one year while obtaining approval from the LEAs and CDE. Once approved by the CDE, the interim plan will become permanent. |

| Foundational to the achievement of student success and student achievement for every student is the need for deeper understandings of equity, inquiry around current practices and how they do or do not provide equity, and specific actions to address the identified needs for providing all students with access and opportunity. This work began in June with District staff and all site principals attending the National Equity Project two-day training. The training then expanded to all District leaders through the PRJUSD Leadership Academy held August 1 & 2. Equity is the Districtwide focus for all departments and schools within PRJUSD for the 2018-19 school year.
