MBUSD District Profile

The Vision of the Manhattan Beach Unified School District is to prepare our students to become good citizens, parents, workers and leaders in the complex, rapidly changing world they will inherit. They will develop strong self-discipline, interpersonal skills, personal values, social and civic responsibilities, and respect for nature and for others. They will be able to move beyond us, each prepared to earn a living, cultivate a dream and make a difference. The Mission of the Manhattan Beach Unified School District is to prepare all of our students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing, highly complex, technology-rich, global society. We will continually strive for excellence in all aspects of the educational process. We will teach our students to understand and appreciate human and cultural diversity. We will harness the resources of the entire community, including students, parents, teachers, staff, administrators, college and business leaders, and others. We will empower students to be lifelong learners, to demonstrate high achievement and to develop the skills and characteristics needed to enjoy happy and successful lives. The Manhattan Beach Unified School District (MBUSD) is located along the Santa Monica Bay in Southern California, just three miles south of the Los Angeles International Airport. MBUSD serves the entire community of Manhattan Beach, an area of approximately three square miles. This community is highly educated with over 70% of adults over age 25 having attained a college degree. In addition to Manhattan Beach, the district's high school also serves students from the neighboring communities of Hermosa and North Redondo Beach. During the 2013-2014 school year, the District’s five elementary schools enrolled approximately 2,900 students in grades K-5. Student enrollment at Manhattan Beach Middle School (grades 6-8) and Mira Costa High School (grades 9-12) for the same school year was about 1,470 students and 2,500 students, respectively. The District is relatively affluent, with a poverty rate of 2.43% based on Free and Reduced Lunch eligibility data for the 2012-2013 school year. Student achievement in MBUSD is high. The District's API Growth score for 2013 was 935, placing it among the top performing school districts in California. The 2013 API Growth scores for MBUSD Elementary Schools ranged from 946 to 968. Manhattan Beach Middle School’s 2013 API Growth score was 943, and Mira Costa High School’s was 912. In 2013, 98% of Mira Costa sophomores passed the California High School Exit Examination in English language arts and mathematics. The graduation rate at Mira Costa is 97%. In the last two years, Mira Costa High School, Grand View Elementary School, Pennekamp Elementary School, Pacific Elementary School and Robinson Elementary School have been named as California Distinguished Schools.

Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement

Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders was critical to the development of the MBUSD LCAP. Parents, teachers, community members, students, local bargaining units, English Learner parents, and other key stakeholders all had input into the process. The chart below represents different opportunities for input from all of these stakeholders. A variety of data was presented at meetings and online in reference to the LCAP priorities. Parents, teachers and students had the opportunity to comment through surveys, including written comments.

Involvement Process Impact on LCAP

The District surveyed all employees and all staff regarding the key areas of the LCAP, and used that survey data in a variety of presentations.

• In reading all comments, there were many parent concerns about secondary math, particularly in middle school. There were also concerns about the amount of homework (too much) and the overuse of tutoring.

• Among staff, there was strong criticism of the training for using PowerSchool.

The Superintendent presented LCAP information to the Board in three separate meetings, and one special workshop.

• The two data pieces that received the most attention were o (1) In comparison to top performing districts, middle school

math scores on state performance exams lagged behind, while elementary and high school scores kept pace, and

o (2) While well above the state average, the percentage of boys completing A-‐G requirements was a significant amount lower than the girls.

The Superintendent made seven separate presentations to school PTAs.

• The other data piece that resonated with most parents was that 57% of the class of 2007 graduated from four-‐year college within six years. This was lower than parent expectations.


The Superintendent presented LCAP information two times to the District Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC), comprised of K-‐12 teacher leaders and reviewed the goals and expenditures with the TLC in a third meeting.

• There was a great deal of input from this committee reflected throughout the LCAP goals and expenditures.

The Superintendent made two presentations to the District PTA Council. • Strong concerns about math, college completion, and boys not

completing A-‐G requirements.

The Superintendent did a Screencast of the LCAP Presentation, and placed that on the Website.

• No emails or other communications received.

The Board held a Budget Board Workshop on April 23 • Many teachers and parents advocated for the return of elementary

PE.

The Superintendent created a special LCAP Section on the MBUSD Website.

• No special communications or feedback received.

The Superintendent sent out a newsletter describing the LCAP process and including a link to the Screencast and the LCAP Survey

• Several parents on free and reduced lunch contacted the Superintendent. Primary concerns were about the inability to obtain tutoring services that other parents have access to.

The Superintendent invited all parents of EL students to a DELAC meeting to discuss the LCAP and solicit input. EL Parents attended a meeting on May 6, 2014

• The support of one support class for EL students in the high school makes an incredible difference.

• Having no support outside of the teacher(s) of record in grades K-‐8 is difficult.

• The first three months as a new student is challenging for students and families.

• Homework is a challenge. • Families need support as well.

The high school principal surveyed all high school students regarding LCAP and local priorities.

• Counselors received high marks for supporting students. • 280 students reported being bullied this year. • PowerSchool has a positive impact on student performance


During negotiations, the teachers’ union (MBUTA) presented the district with a survey about teachers’ needs regarding Common Core instruction. Also, multiple discussions about professional development occurred.

• Teachers are not yet implementing CCSS and need more support to do so.

• There will be five professional development days in 2014-‐15. Four of those are new, and teachers will receive their daily rate for their mandatory participation.

The Board held a public hearing on the LCAP at its June 4, 2014 meeting.

The Board held a second public hearing on the LCAP at its June 17, 2014 meeting.
