Stockton Unified says local indicators show gains; district to post dashboard in October
Summary
Dr. Jason Murphy presented Stockton Unified’s 2026 local indicators dashboard update, reporting progress on basic services, state-standards implementation, family engagement (ParentSquare), school climate (Panorama survey) and access to a broad course of study; district to release dashboard to public in October.
Dr. Jason Murphy, director of research and accountability, presented the Stockton Unified School District’s annual local indicators update for the 2026 dashboard, explaining the district’s locally measured priorities and next steps.
Murphy said the local indicators cover several priorities: basic services (teacher assignments, instructional materials, facilities), state standards implementation, family engagement, school climate and access to a broad course of study. He told the board that teacher-assignment data will be updated in July when the California Department of Education and the Commission for Teacher Credentialing release monitoring status, and that the statewide dashboard will be released earlier this year in October.
On basic services, Murphy noted ongoing facility needs but said a facilities master plan is now active and addressing those needs systematically. On standards implementation, he said Stockton Unified has in many areas moved from initial implementation to full implementation and now toward sustainability, supported by professional development and instructional materials. For family engagement, Murphy highlighted the district’s rollout of ParentSquare, a multilingual communication platform providing access in more than 100 languages, and said two-way communication measures have improved to full implementation.
Murphy referenced recent Panorama survey results that show improvement across school climate measures and said the district will continue to monitor school climate and subgroup results to target supports where needed. For access to a broad course of study, he said the district uses multiple systems — including course catalog audits, transcripts, and four-year plan reviews — to measure access and that individual access depends on student plans and supports.
Trustees thanked Murphy; no substantive votes were taken on the presentation itself. Staff said the dashboard satisfies the public presentation requirement and that the online dashboard will be updated with teacher-assignment monitoring data in July and made public in October.
