23. California’s School Accountability System Under The Federal No Child Left Behin
    Under the API system, california held schools accountable for significant will be tested with the california alternative Performance Assessment ( CAPA).  
    http://www.edsource.org/pub_edfct_ayp.cfm
    
    Extractions: Since 1999 with the passage of the Public School Accountability Act ( PSAA ), California has been holding schools accountable for the achievement of their students. In August 2003 the state modified its accountability system to meet the funding conditions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act ( NCLB ). The purpose of NCLB—which was signed into law by President George W. Bush in January 2002—is to use federal funding as leverage to make sure that all the nation’s children are able to read, to write, and to understand math well by the time they graduate from high school. Under NCLB, states develop their own ways of measuring whether schools, school districts, and the state as a whole have made “adequate yearly progress ( AYP )” toward this goal, but their approach has to be approved by the federal government. To show that their schools are making AYP, states have to: Create “annual measurable objectives ( AMOs )” for the percent of students that must show proficiency on tests aligned with state content standards (such as the California Standards Tests and the California High School Exit Exam Select an additional way to measure student progress;

    http://www.edsource.org/pub_edfct_api.cfm
    
    Extractions: Goals for school improvement The API has been the centerpiece of California’s program to hold schools accountable. It compares how a school’s students as a whole perform relative to other schools in California. However, since the enactment of the federal No Child Left Behind Act ( NCLB ) in 2002, the API has taken a back seat to NCLB’s “adequate yearly progress (AYP)” approach. A school’s API score is only one measure of its performance under NCLB. But because the API system is understood by the public, includes a statewide ranking of schools, and focuses on improvement, it remains an important part of California’s accountability system. Under the API system, the vast majority of California schools have received an API score for the school as a whole and for each “numerically significant” subgroup of pupils categorized by ethnicity and poverty. An API score is a one-number summary of scores on state-required standardized tests. Various tests receive different weights in the index. To be “numerically significant,” a subgroup must have 100 students or have 30 students that constitute 15% of the school’s student body. At first not all schools received API scores. An insufficient number of students tested, or a student body with a majority of at-risk students (typically found in continuation high schools, court schools, or other alternative schools), excluded a school from the API system and qualified it for the “Alternative Schools Accountability Model.” Further, if a school had irregularities in the test administration or experienced a significant demographic change from the previous year, it did not get an API score. Now, to meet federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requirements, California gives API scores to all schools with 11 or more test-takers who have been enrolled in the school since the October California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) data-collection day.

GED vs. CHSPE Advice about keeping high school going: Home Schooling Poor Performance in School Reviews: May 2003 My almost 16 year old daughter has decided after 4 years of fighting middle school and high school to drop out and take the California High School Proficiency Exam. She wants to go to community college in the fall and start working. I totally support her because this is an organic decision arising out of her experience but I also have some concerns about logistics and technicalities. Since the exam is not until November (and I don't know when results will come), I'm wondering if she can go to community college in September? I think she might end up falling through the cracks and not be in school and not be able to go to community college either. Anyone with experience in this area, please feel free to give your two cents on the situation. Thanks. you can get info about the chspe at www.cde.ca.gov/ statetests/chspe/ it says that it is unlawful to drop out before you pass the test if you are under 18. if she takes the 11-15-03 test they mail results 12-19-03. basically your daughter needs to go to one more semester of high school. nina

Law and Legislative Resources CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS California led the nation in 1991 by enacting criminal sanctions for the violation of civil rights laws. The laws provide enhanced sentences for those convicted of violent or threatening behavior based on race, gender, religion, age, disabilities or sexual preference. The tougher penalties and higher civil awards were authored by Lockyer when he was Senate President Pro Tem of the California Legislature. If you are a victim you can either file a private lawsuit in the appropriate court, or you can file a complaint with the Attorney General's Civil Rights Enforcement Section or with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing . If you chose to file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing you must do so no later than one year after your Ralph Act rights have been violated. The Bane Civil Rights Act protects people from continued violence or the threat of violence based on grounds such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability or position in a labor dispute. The court may grant an injunction prohibiting further intimidating or coercive behavior against you. Any violation of this order is a misdemeanor and may result in fines or imprisonment. If a judgment is awarded in your favor in a private lawsuit, you may receive reasonable attorney's fees as well.

Instructional material used in public schools must not include matter which is discriminatory on the basis of race, sex, color, creed, handicap, national origin or ancestry.

Resources Alternative Schools Devoting a separate category to "alternative schools" is somewhat inexact, as every option discussed under School Choice represents an alternative to conventional or mainstream public education. Prospective founders of magnet and charter schools would surely profit by revisiting surviving alternative schools' early experiences (Dunn 2000), whether based on Waldorf, Montessori, Summerhill, or more pragmatic philosophies. To this list, Daniel Drake (2000) would add several "responsive" public-school varieties, such as Comer Process schools, full-service schools, immersion programs, schools-within-schools, and middle schools. Schooling alternatives have existed for centuries in many nations. By the end of the 1800s, public schools in the U.S. were flourishing. Many children attended church-sponsored schools; "some affluent families educated their children at expensive and exclusive boarding schools or at local private schools" (Koetke 1999). Koetke (1999), a classroom teacher, notes the immense variety embedded in the term
