Response to Public Comment

Why did we not place the Charter request for Joseph Bonnheim onto the Board Agenda?

A petition to convert Joseph Bonnheim to a charter school in the 2014-15 school year was submitted to the district on June 12, 2013. 麻豆果冻传媒鈥檚 Administrative Regulations state that 鈥淚f a petition for a conversion charter is submitted after December 15 of the prior school year, the petition will not be considered unless the petition proposes to begin operations for the school year following the next school year.鈥 麻豆果冻传媒 Board Policy and Administrative Regulations include a different timeline for start-up charters. In that case, 麻豆果冻传媒鈥檚 Board Policy and Administrative Regulations that clearly states that the district will only accept a petition for a start-up charter school between September 1 and March 1 of the prior school year. 
 

 Why are we having Independent Physical Education?

Independent Study is an alternative to classroom instruction consistent with the district鈥檚 course of study and is not an alternative curriculum. In accordance with Board Policy and the Education Code, it provides individual students with an option of ways to acquire the skills and knowledge students are required to gain as verified by a written agreement. We are requesting funds to support Independent Study as an option for those students who have a compressed schedule 鈥 especially in ninth and 10th grades. Independent Study can only be utilized for physical education during the school year. The one exception to this is for students who need to recover credit for failing to meet the requirements for PE during the regular school year. These students may do so by participating in a summer Independent Study. Principals will select teachers based upon appropriate PE credentials and PE teaching experience. State established guidelines in the Independent Study Operations Manual plus the district鈥檚 established policies and procedures for assigning students to independent study will be used to govern the implementation.
