• School Accountability Report Card (SARC)

     
    Q:  What is a School Accountability Report Card?
     
    A: The Educational Accountability System was signed into law as part of Prop 98 in 1988. It required each school to file an annual School Accountability Report Card, which would allow parents, the Department of Education, and taxpayers to compare an annual snapshot of schools. This document is submitted to the California Department of Education, posted on the Web site, and distributed to parents and community members in an attempt to further the partnership that makes our schools strong.
     
    A Prospectus of School Curriculum is available for review within each school's SARC [ED CODE 48980(h)] .  The state standards constitute the curriculum. The Board adopted instructional resources used for instruction can be found under the heading of Conditions of Learning: Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials within each SARC.  The Common Core State Standards  for Language Arts, History, Science and Technical Subjects can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/finalelaccssstandards.pdf .  Common Core Math Standards can be accessed at http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/documents/ccssmathstandardaug2013.pdf
