Council was given 20 minutes to read the SPSA Goals and Objectives.

 100% Graduation SMART Goal:  Current research is showing that attendance at all ages is incredibly important and is directly related to student success and graduation rates.  A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn; therefore, Students' attendance will increase by 3% from 97% to 100% in order to maximize student's access to the curriculum.  Because we need to provide a place for students to succeed  the school's goal is to increase High School Readiness rates for 6th to 8th graders in both MATH and ELA by 5%.  In ELA students who meet or exceed in SBAC will increase from 32%( ELA 2016-2017) to 37% by June 2019; In Math, students who meet or exceed in SBAC will increase from 21% (MATH 2016-2017) to 26% according to SBAC results by June 2019.  So that the percent of students who plan to continue their education beyond high school will increase by 5% from 60% (2016-2017) to 65% by June 2019 per the School Experience Survey.

 Ms. Rosario motioned to accept this goal as is.  Ms. Munar seconded the motion.  All were in favor. Motion passed.

English Learner Programs SMART Goal: Reclassification rate will meet District goals of 24% as verified by the Reclassification Rate Monitoring Roster (RRMR) and LAUSD Focus dashboard by June 2019.

The percent of Long Term English Language Learners will decrease from 57% to 52% (of all ELs who are LTELs) by June 2019.

Craig Hopkins  motioned to accept the English Learner Goal as is.  Ms. Rosario seconded the motion.  All seven members were in favor.  Motion passed.

1. Increase the percent of parents who agree our "school provides resources to help me support my child's education" from 85% (2016-2017) to 95% by June 2019 as measured by the School Experience Survey. (This aligns with the LCAP District Target).
2. Increase the percent of parents who agree that their child's teacher let them know about their progress from 70% (2016-2017) to 80% by June 2019 as measured by the School Experience Survey.
