District Goals and Plan Overview

The purpose of the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is to provide a comprehensive document, including details of site planned actions and expenditures as they relate to the goals of Clovis Unified School District. The plan supports student outcomes and overall performance in connection with the District's Local Control and Accountability Plan and in alignment with the district goals supporting the expectations that all goals shall have objectives that are measurable, actionable, and develop monitoring metrics to assess progress that guides program evaluation and resource allocation.

Our district AIMS as well as our district’s CLASSI goals are woven throughout our plan to meet the high expectations our district holds for our school sites, staff, students, and community.

District AIMS:
AIM I: Maximize Achievement for ALL Students
AIM II: Operate with Increasing Efficiency and Effectiveness
AIM III: Hire, Develop, Sustain, and Value a High-Quality Diverse Workforce

Plan Description

Briefly describe your school’s plan for effectively meeting ESSA’s planning requirements in alignment with the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and other federal, state, and local programs.

Within our SPSA we have created a plan that focuses on student growth on local and state assessments. It is our ultimate goal to implement this plan and continue to increase academic achievement for all students. Our plan includes goals around our academic areas of ELA and Math for the following subgroups: SED, SWD, English Learners. Our plan also includes a goal to decrease the suspension rate for all students including the following subgroups: Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, Students with disabilities, and Hispanic.

Educational Partner Involvement

How, when, and with whom did Gettysburg Elementary School consult as part of the planning process for this SPSA/Annual Review and Update?

Involvement Process for the SPSA and Annual Review and Update

Our educational partners, including but not limited to our SSC, ELAC, and staff, play a huge role in the creation, monitoring, and revisions of our School Plan for Student Achievement. Throughout the year, we regularly revisit our SPSA at our SSC meetings by discussing the budget and goals, student achievement, available supports for students and families, and more. At our most recent SSC and ELAC meetings, our SPSA monitoring tool was reviewed with our committees to allow them to see where we were with last year’s goals, where we see continued gaps, and where we have identified wins in achievements. Our committees then discussed possible next steps and needed changes as well as made recommendations to site administration for our SPSA.
The following recommendations were made: continue to hire high-quality intervention teachers, hire a bilingual instructional aide, allocate money to professional development, substitute teachers, and pay teachers to host before school and after school math intervention labs, continue allocating money for instructional supplies and technology.

Resource Inequities

Briefly identify and describe any resource inequities identified as a result of the required needs assessment, as applicable.

This section is required for all schools eligible for ATSI and CSI only.

After analysis of multiple data points, it is evident that at Gettysburg we have a discrepancy around our suspension data as overall we fell into the red dashboard indicator. In looking closely at our subgroup data, we have reds in the following subgroups: SED, SWD, and Hispanic which has a created a site need to put additional resources toward decreasing suspension rates overall. However, our SWD subgroup has a clear resource inequity as they fell into only read and orange indicators across the dashboard where other subgroups achieved in the green and blue. We will continue to look at our data to see where we can fill the gap around our SWD subgroup. Our SWD subgroup around suspension rates has placed us into ATSI for 24-25, so our plan includes actions that will support a decrease in this area.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Components

Identify and describe any areas that need significant improvement based on a review of Dashboard and local data, including any areas of low performance and significant performance gaps among student groups on Dashboard indicators, and any steps taken to address those areas.

California School Dashboard (Dashboard) Indicators

Referring to the California School Dashboard (Dashboard), any state indicator for which overall performance was in the “Red” or “Orange” performance category. *Overall Red Indicators include: Suspension Rates

*Overall Orange Indicators include: None

Referring to the California School Dashboard (Dashboard), any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance.

The following subgroups have a red indicator: *Students with Disabilities in suspensions *Socioeconomically Disadvantaged in suspensions *Hispanics in suspensions

The following subgroups have an orange indicator, which is below the all student performance level in the following areas: *Students with Disabilities in Chronic Absenteeism
*Asian in Suspension rate *White in Suspension rate

Other Needs

In addition to Dashboard data, other needs may be identified using locally collected data developed by the LEA to measure pupil outcomes. Local indicators and educational partner feedback also indicate that we have needs in the following areas:

*to focus on decreasing chronic absenteeism *to focus on decreasing suspension rates

	Gettysburg will reduce the use of exclusionary discipline for students with disabilities by utilizing restorative approaches. Gettysburg will hire staff to offer structured recess. This provides learning opportunities with a staff member that can model positive social and emotional skills. Gettysburg will provide a multi-tiered system of support for behavior and use positive reinforcement when students are following the clear and consistent expectations. Gettysburg will provide All for Youth services, and provide staff training for Clovis Support and Intervention (CSI) to provide non-punitive approach to make a positive impact on behaviors that could be the result of a disability.

At elementary schools, the school site council must be constituted to ensure parity between (a) the principal, classroom teachers, and other school personnel, and (b) parents of students attending the school or other community members. Classroom teachers must comprise a majority of persons represented under section (a). At secondary schools there must be, in addition, equal numbers of parents or other community members selected by parents, and students. Members must be selected by their peer group.

Recommendations and Assurances

The School Site Council (SSC) recommends this school plan and proposed expenditures to the district governing board for approval and assures the board of the following:
•	The SSC is correctly constituted and was formed in accordance with district governing board policy and state law.
•	The SSC reviewed its responsibilities under state law and district governing board policies, including those board policies relating to material changes in the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) requiring board approval.
•	The SSC sought and considered all recommendations from the following groups or committees before adopting this plan: SSC and ELAC (if applicable)

The SSC reviewed the content requirements for school plans of programs included in this SPSA and believes all such content requirements have been met, including those found in district governing board policies and in the local educational agency plan.

This SPSA is based on a thorough analysis of student academic performance. The actions proposed herein form a sound, comprehensive, coordinated plan to reach stated school goals to improve student academic performance.

This SPSA was adopted by the SSC at a public meeting on 5/16/24.
