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.

At Kastner Intermediate we are dedicated to the best work for our students. Within our SPSA we have created a plan that focuses on increasing academic achievement and supporting an increase in suspension rates. It is our ultimate goal to implement this plan to fidelity and continue to increase academic achievement for all students. Our plan includes goals around ELA and Math as well as decreasing suspension rates for all students. We realize that our SWD have unique needs, so our plan also includes actions and strategies to meet the needs of this specific subgroup of students.

Educational Partner Involvement

How, when, and with whom did Kastner Intermediate 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 the intervention model of TBird time that was implemented this year
•	continue the Tier 2 academic intervention for students on the D/F list who need Executive Functioning skills training

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 3 of 16	Kastner Intermediate School

•	continue the model of support using the BIA to push-in with our Newcomer students and our students struggling to succeed in class that may need more personalized support

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: none

*Overall Orange Indicators include: Suspension Rate

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 two or more indicators below the all student performance level in the following areas: *none

Additionally, the following indicators are red on our dashboard for the following subgroups: *English Language Arts: SWD

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 address suspension rates

Annual Review
Describe the overall implementation of these goals from the previous year. If this is a new goal an analysis is not required.
	
There has been a great response to the Tbird time interventions. Students are taking advantage of the extra support and we have seen a lessening of the students on the D/F list. We foresee that the extra targeted support will provide the students with the foundation they will need to be more successful on this year's CAASPP. We are also finding great support in using our BIA to focus on the EL students with the greatest academic need as well as pushing in to support some of our most intensive students on the D/F list. Lastly, our Tier 2 executive functioning intervention was a great support for students who are not succeeding based on will and not skill deficits.
	
Identified Need(s)
As a result of the analysis of data and your annual implementation review, describe any changes that will be made (next school year) in this goal, annual metrics, and actions to achieve this goal.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 5 of 16	Kastner Intermediate School

Based on our data analysis and needs assessment, we need to: *Increase academic supports in language arts for our SWD subgroup
*Increase academic supports in math for all students, with special consideration for our SWD and English Learners subgroups

Annual Review
Describe the overall implementation of these goals from the previous year. If this is a new goal an analysis is not required.
	
There has been a great response to the SARB interventions as evidenced by our Chronically Absent rate dropping over 10% this past year. This shows the extra attention to the SARB process by our counselors was very effective and will be continued next year to continue to see growth in that area. Our suspension rate, on the other hand, increased 0.2%. Although this is a slight increase, it is still our goal to decrease to 8% which was our typical percentage prior to COVID.
	
Identified Need(s)
As a result of the analysis of data and your annual implementation review, describe any changes that will be made (next school year) in this goal, annual metrics, and actions to achieve this goal.

School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)	Page 9 of 16	Kastner Intermediate School

To tackle the problem of a rising suspension rate, we will be more intentional and focused with our Tier 2 and Tier 3 behavior interventions. We will implement intervention groups during the Opportunities class and also during Tbird time with a particular focus on our SWD, SED, AA, and Hispanic students. We will pair them with staff to intentionally coach them on behaviors and track their progress in this area.
