SCUSD’s Guiding Principle states that “all students are given an equal opportunity to graduate with the greatest number of postsecondary choices from the widest array of options” while the Core Value statement asserts “We recognize that our system is inequitable by design.” The Guiding Principle and Core Value Statement demand that data be used to transparently assess students by name, by need, and by inequities and educational injustices suffered while under our care. An important role of the CBO will be to create a structure incorporating the District’s annual budget process with the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) using the SCUSD Guiding Principle and Core Value Statement. The ability to incorporate them into one seamless process could lead to more equitable outcomes for all students by addressing identified site and district-wide practices and procedures that limit the number of students who graduate career and college-ready. SCUSD has 77 school sites with an overall enrollment of 42,965 K-12 students. We are the 13th largest District in the state with 4,364 employees; one of the largest employers in the region.
