• For in-person public comments – Blue Cards will be available outside the Board Room and will be collected at the beginning of the Special Board meeting and organized by the item on the agenda for in-person public comments. For in-person public comments you do not need to complete the online form.

Beginning in 2016, the CPL department began researching requirements to meet the criteria needed for an Ethnic Studies course. A facilitated subcommittee was formed and met the following objectives:

• Researched “Ethnic Studies” course models and provided information to the full History Social Science Steering Committee
• Redesigned the current Cultural Studies course to better reflect the “Ethnic Studies model” 
• Evaluated and audited current course offerings in Ethnic Studies 
• Participated in and evaluated training for Ethnic Studies 

The 5-credit Ethnic Studies elective course and instructional materials, Our Stories in Our Voices, received Board approval on January 14, 2020. This course is designed to provide key language, historical lessons and critical analysis skills that empower students to articulate and address the social injustices they see and experience. The class cultivates an understanding necessary for social, political and educational engagement, while developing academic literacy skills. Students take an in-depth look at history through a thematic approach (as opposed to chronological), as well as theories of multicultural and gender studies. The course was made available for sites to offer during the 2020-2021 school year. The Board of Education and community will be provided an update on the progress and recommendations to support AB 101, signed by the Governor on October 8, 2021 that adds the completion of a one-semester course in ethnic studies to high school graduation requirements commencing with students graduating in the 2029-2030 school year.  

The 2021-22 LCAP Needs Analysis Survey is a meaningful engagement of educational partners in the annual LCAP process which is a proven way of continuously improving educational services for our students and their families.

The 2021-22 LCAP Needs Analysis Survey process occurred during the months from October through December, with 43,256 educational partners participating.  Educational partners included teachers, students, parents/families, school site councils, English Learner Advisory Committee members, and leadership teams.  The presentation to the Board of Education will provide the results of the survey.

All items listed on the consent agenda will be acted upon by one motion, without discussion. Should any item need to be considered separately, that item will be pulled for discussion/action.
