About the SARC
A. Conditions of Learning
Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
State Priority: Basic The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Basic State Priority (Priority 1): • Degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned and fully credentialed in the subject area and for the pupils they are teaching; • Pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and • School facilities are maintained in good repair.
•

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2014-15) Placer Hills Union Elementary held a public hearing on September 11, 2014, and determined that each school within the district had sufficient and good quality textbooks, instructional materials, or science lab equipment pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are given their own individual standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home. Textbooks and supplementary materials are adopted according to a cycle developed by the California Department of Education, making the textbooks used in the school the most current available. Materials approved for use by the State are reviewed by all teachers and a recommendation is made to the School Board by a selection committee composed of teachers and administrators. All recommended materials are available for parent examination at the district office prior to adoption. The table displays information collected in September, 2014 about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (Most Recent Year) Weimar Hills School shares a facility with Weimar Hills Charter School that is comprised of twenty-one permanent classrooms, seven portable classrooms, one performing arts room, one multipurpose room, one gymnasium, one library, and two computer labs. The community is very proud of the beautiful school setting and all stakeholders work diligently together to maintain the school's functionality. Cleaning Process The principal works daily with the custodial staff of one full time and one part time person to insure that the cleaning of the school is maintained to provide for a clean and safe school The district's governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. Maintenance and Repair District maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and address all work orders are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and so that highest priority are given to emergency repairs. While reviewing this report, please note that even minor discrepancies are reported in the inspection process. Project Completion District wide heating and lighting upgrades that include monitoring devices in every room were completed using Proposition 39 funding in November 2014. Multiple HVAC units were also replaced with more efficient upgraded models. The solar project at Weimar Hills went online in January 2015, effectively eliminating all energy costs to the District. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district no longer receives funding from the state for deferred maintenance. All deferred maintenance projects must therefore be funded out of general unrestricted funds. Deferred maintenance projects typically include roofing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, interior and exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2013-14 school year this district allocated $38,097 for deferred maintenance projects. This represents 1.2% of the district's unrestricted general fund expenditures. During the 2013-14 school year , the district's deferred maintenance projects included painting, roofing, plumbing, septic, and floor covering.

The plan includes four action items and other required policy items dealing with: Child Abuse Reporting, Disaster Procedures, Notification of Dangerous Students, Rules for School Discipline, Sexual Harassment, Dress Codes, Ingress and Egress Procedures, Safe Environments with particular focus on our anti-bullying program. The school safety plan is reveiwed each Fall with the staff. At Weimar Hills, the safety of students is of great importance.

Types of Services Funded at Weimar Hills School
Professional Development provided for Teachers at Weimar Hills School The district believes in staff development. All teachers are asked to participate in regular professional development activities. In addition, teacher grade level and subject matter meetings are held weekly to work on instructional strategies, assessment, implementation of standards, and textbook use. Each Monday students are released an hour early so that teachers and administration can take part in Professional Development activities centered on a yearly school wide theme; last year was the second of a two-year focus on staff training to provide the foundation for the successful implementation of the California Common Core State Standards. Many teachers are also required to complete additional hours of professional development in order to keep their credentials current. Administration evaluates all staff development relative to student assessment results which have been steadily improving over the past eight years. Curriculum guides that include the state standards are in place and instruction is in accordance with those guides. Full implementation of the Common Core Standards is in place for the 2014-15 school year. Professional development focus has shifted to increasing the rigor of assessments. In addition, every teacher in the district has spent six hours in professional development this year working on maximizing the use of Google Docs in Education.
