SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT CSBA Convention: Superintendent Merlo commended Board member Karen Frey and her work representing Corcoran at the CSBA convention. She and Mr. Merlo gave a presentation. Mr. Alcorn, who was present, noted that the pair represented the District very well. Mr. Merlo said it was the first time he has been to the CSBA event and he found the keynote speaker to be pretty good. Also attending from Corcoran was Board member Mary Gonzales-Gomez. Leadership in Action: Mr. Merlo relayed that the administrators/principals have met twice with other districts as part of the Rural Network and Rounds process. The groups have been working together collaboratively in efforts to move their districts’ improvements. They will next meet on March 24 in Stockton where they will give a series of presentations. It will be similar to what took place in Corcoran in October. The District will be bringing key people to the event. He also met with Harvard professor Dr. City, who he originally met in Boston in 2009 to learn about the Rounds process. She is a consultant with the group. Pathways Grant: Mr. Merlo has been working with Alisa Gomez, Antonia Stone and others regarding another Pathways Grant. The District would be asking for a three-year grant for $600,000 for a possible information security program. Air Force ROTC has a connection with Cyber Patriots, a club about information security. Principal Stone stated that they are trying to start some other mini pathways with 95% of the kids signed up for next year. Mrs. Frey added that they would like it to go down to the John Muir level, also, providing those students with information on various careers in the field. Mr. Merlo noted that students who go through the course and pass a test could end up with a certificate and perhaps go into that job market. LCAP Surveys: Mr. Merlo announced that the surveys are complete and will be a little easier to complete this year as there are not as many open-ended areas. There is one comment area. The surveys are currently on the website and there will soon be a big marketing push. Administrative Regulations: Mr. Merlo informed the Board that the following regulations have been put into force: AR 5145.3 – Nondiscrimination/Harassment; AR 5145.7 – Sexual Harassment; and, AR 6171 – Title I Programs. CHIEF BUSINESS OFFICER REPORT CBO Pamela Dihel had great news for the Board in that the Auditorium Phase II modernization, which was estimated to cost $616,549, came in under budget at $363,753. The project was funded by the Corcoran Community Foundation. She noted that the lower costs were due mainly to the amount of work that was done in-house. She credited the staff that contributed to the project. Fremont School will be having an additional wing of two portables with work to be completed by June. A temporary module has been set up in the High School parking lot on Whitley to accommodate the growing Technology Department. Steve Berry, Director of Technology, showed photos of the new facility and also of the redesigned Room 21. Mrs. Dihel shared that summer will be extremely busy with work on the sites. COMMON CORE UPDATE Lora Cartwright, Director of Educational Services, reviewed Common Core. She said key shifts in ELA were regular practice with complex texts and their academic language; reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from texts, both literary and information; and, building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction. She added an interesting fact for Corcoran and that is more of the boys are interested in reading now, which could be attributed to this type of reading has more to do with real life. The key shifts in Mathematics are a greater focus on fewer topics; coherence: linking topics and thinking across grades; and, rigor: pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application with equal intensity. Mrs. Cartwright said staff is teaching to a higher level and making sure the students have the foundational skills before they move on. They are upping the rigor a little bit. She added that the District is creating cohesive grade level units in both ELA and Math. The literacy coaches are assisting with ELD/literacy components, Tech coaches are assisting with technology integration and Site administrators are ensuring adherence. They are also working on the Four C’s: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity. She added that the District has everybody in the right frame and knowing where

 

 

they need to go. The District still has a way to go, but they are working towards it and seeing a lot of improvement.

CUSD’s mission is to work with relentless dedication to the best of its ability to create an educational environment for all to improve mind, character and body. BACKGROUND OF HEALTHY SCHOLARS The mission of the Healthy Scholars Foundation, a California based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is to remove health barriers to education. The foundation helps students around the world achieve the good physical health that is the foundation of academic success by focusing its efforts on health topics that often go unnoticed in the classroom. This is accomplished using the STAR approach which involves Screening, Treatment, Awareness, and Research. HSF focuses on thyroid (endocrinology issues), vision, hearing, dental, girls’ health and other treatable health issues. Its mission is to help students reach their potential without having to be held back by treatable health problems. CUSD and HSF are interested in working together in this endeavor. The
