Sunol Glen board pulls SARC for discussion, approves 2023–24 School Accountability Report Card
Summary
Trustees discussed the 2023–24 School Accountability Report Card (SARC), pressing on gaps for Hispanic/Latinx and disadvantaged students, lower science scores, chronic absenteeism, and a typo in safety plan dates; the board approved the SARC with corrections to dates and clarifications promised.
Trustees moved the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) from consent to discussion. Questions focused on why Hispanic/Latinx and socioeconomically disadvantaged students underperformed relative to other groups in CAASPP results, why science meeting/exceeding percentages were lower, and elevated chronic absenteeism for English learners and students with disabilities.
The superintendent outlined interventions: a promotions team to boost enrollment, a dyslexia/reading screener to be brought for approval, expanded intervention groups (including extending a paraprofessional's hours), hiring a counselor, and implementing "data talks" for grade‑level problem solving. The board also asked staff to correct dates in the safety plan referenced in the SARC (2024 should read 2025) before submitting it to the state.
