| With the shift in state assessments, from the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) to the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), it is necessary for districts to realign the criteria for English Learner reclassification. The proposed criteria remains unchanged from previous years with the exception of the alignment of the new English Language Proficiency Assessment. The reclassification process for students within PRJUSD will begin once all ELPAC scores are reported and the Interim English Learner Reclassification Criteria is approved by the PRJUSD Board of Trustees. The approved interim reclassification criteria will be in effect until the California Department of Education publishes new reclassification guidelines. |

| Board Policy 6174 serves to establish Districtwide direction around supports and services provided for English Learners. Following the passage of Proposition 58 and the subsequent revisions to California Education Codes, it is advised to update PRJUSD Board Policy to reflect the changes. The most significant change in the law is the removal of the parent waiver requirement for selecting a bilingual educational program. In addition, new requirements have been established around English Learner program options, communication about the options, and the monitoring of English Learner programs. A strikeout view of the proposed changes to BP 6174 is attached with a strikeout indicating language to be removed and an underline indicating language to be added. |

| The San Luis Obispo County Committee on School District Organization is an 11-member Committee comprised of two seats representing each County Supervisorial District and one Member-at-Large. The purpose of the Committee is to address all issues related to school district organization, such as unification of school districts, dissolving school districts, forming new school districts, transferring territory, etc. The functions of the Committee are governed by the California Education Code.
School boards may make a nomination, and nominations may be made from the floor, but only by those representatives of governing boards. The nominee must be a registered voter of the county, must not be an employee of any school district, or the County Superintendent of Schools, or any of his employees. The district governing board must also confirm that the nominee has consented to be nominated. Those elected serve four-year terms.
This nomination is to fill the vacancy for Supervisorial District #1. |

| Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is an integrated, comprehensive framework that aligns academic, behavioral, and social-emotional learning in a fully integrated system of support for the benefit of all students. MTSS offers the potential to create needed systematic change through intentional design and redesign of services and supports to quickly identify and match them to the needs of all students.
Within PRJUSD, this is being accomplished by evaluating current practices to identify those that yield evidence of effectiveness, by addressing areas that are missing, and by replacing ineffective or inefficient approaches with those that are supported by research. It is about being prevention oriented by identifying those who need support as early as possible and by putting necessary and appropriate supports in place.
PRJUSD was awarded the California Scale-Up MTSS Statewide (SUMS) grant in 2016, and joined the state’s first cohort to support the District’s work in MTSS implementation across our school sites.
