School Accountability Report Card

Reported for School Year 2006-07

Published During 2007-08

 

 

Notes regarding the source and currency of data:

Data included in this School Accountability Report Card (SARC) template are consistent with State Board of Education guidelines, which are available at the California Department of Education Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/definitions05.asp

Most data presented in this report were collected from the 2006-07 school year or from the two preceding years (2004-05 and 2005-06). Due to the certification timelines for graduation, dropout, and fiscal information, the data for these sections of the report were collected in 2006-07. Single-year column headings refer to the school year ending in that particular year. When no year is specified, data are from the most recent school year for which data are available.

More information about SARC requirements is available at the CDE Web site at

At CHC Learning Academy we encourage parental involvement.  CHC has an open door policy, and parents/guardians are welcome to observe their child in their learning environment.  Also, we hold annual “CHC picnics.”

Parents and guardians can request to meet with any member of their child’s educational team at any time.  We also have done phone conferences and off-site meetings to accommodate the “busy parent.”

III. School Safety and Climate for Learning

 

School Safety Plan

Date of Last Review/Update

9/2007

Date Last Discussed with Staff

10/2007

 

The school safety plan is reviewed yearly and updated.  Monthly a safety team (Principal and Program Coordinator) meets to review the school safety plan and on-going concerns.  A school plan, (Emergency Procedure Manual) is posted in each room on campus beside the existing doors. The following key elements are covered: Fire, earthquake, bomb threat, flood, and tornado drills are covered.

 

School Programs and Practices That Promote a Positive Learning Environment

Here at CHCLA, we encourage a small group environment.  Students are served in a 1:2 or 1:1 ratio.  Also, individual classroom have designated areas for rest and relaxation, desk work, music therapy, and/or computer time.  Classrooms are designed to hold one or two students and instructor. 

 

A behavior plan or BMP will be created for each child.  Targeted behaviors can range from violent outbursts to communication.  After the initial 30-day assessment, a plan is created to reinforce desired behaviors using Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) techniques.  Charts are created to track behaviors, antecedents, and durations.  New behaviors may be added to the list of targeted objectives after the initial plan is drafted.  Staff members are trained to use positive reinforcement and redirection to decrease undesired behaviors and increase the likelihood of a positive behavior reoccurring.  Incentive charts and point/token systems allow students to track their success and progress toward a reward.  * In the event your family is working with a private behaviorist or therapist, and the student has a current behavioral plan in place, our staff will follow the plan provided by your behaviorist or therapist for as long as it deemed appropriate by the IEP, ITP, and/or IPP team. 

 

The staff have all been trained and certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training (NVCI) and Professional Assault Response Training (PART).
