Current State of Lakeside's Parcel Tax We want to hear from you! As we continue to plan for the future of LJSD, your input is important to us. We encourage you to take our survey at tinyurl.com/LJSD-Survey . Maintaining Quality Education in our Mountain Community Lakeside School has served our unique mountain community for nearly 150 years. Lakeside School serves as the de-facto heart of our community, providing the community center and emergency evacuation center for all of our neighbors. A Tradition of Local Funding Like many rural school districts, Lakeside Joint School District (LJSD) relies on voter-approved, locally controlled parcel tax funding in order to attract and retain qualified teachers and support academic programs in our local school. The District also utilizes this source of funding to ensure that every child can attend the public middle school of their choice. Schools Facing Potential Academic Cuts and Teacher Layoffs This source of funding — which provides more than $500,000 annually and accounts for 20% of the budget — is set to expire next year. If local funding expires, and the District is forced to make half a million dollars worth of cuts, it is hard to envision a path forward for our small mountain school without teacher layoffs, loss of academic programming and potentially even the closure of Lakeside School. Potential Measure to Renew Expiring Funding at the Current Rate The Lakeside Joint School District Board of Trustees is currently exploring options to continue this source of local funding. While no final decisions have been made, the measure renews the expiring source of funding at the existing $647 rate, with modest annual inflation adjustments to keep up with the rising cost of providing a quality education. If renewed, this source of funding would continue to: Keep Lakeside School open Attract and retain highly qualified teachers and school staff Provide a quality public middle school education for every student Protect core academic programs in reading, writing and math Support innovative academic programs in science, technology and engineering Maintain our whole-child, broad-based curriculum that includes the arts, music, physical education, gardening and outdoor education Offer mental health support to meet students’ academic and social emotional needs Fiscal Accountability and Local Control Required All proceeds are controlled locally and cannot be taken away by the State No money can be used for administrators’ salaries or pensions Independent citizens’ oversight and mandatory annual audits are required Senior citizen homeowners are eligible for an exemption from the cost We Want to Hear From You As we continue to plan for the future of our schools, we would like to hear your thoughts. Please contact the District at ljsd@lakesidelosgatos.org for more information. Frequently Asked Questions How is Lakeside Joint School District doing? Lakeside School has served our unique mountain community for nearly 150 years. What started as a one-room, one-teacher school, has grown into the only preschool through 5th Grade school available to families who wish to raise and educate their children in the mountain lifestyle. How are Lakeside Joint School District schools funded? Lakeside Joint School District (LJSD) relies on voter-approved, locally controlled parcel tax funding in order to provide qualified teachers and support academic programs in our local school. Local parcel tax funding accounts for 20% of the District’s budget. How has local funding supported our schools? Local funding has helped Lakeside Joint School District attract and retain qualified teachers and support academic programs in our local school. The District also utilizes this source of funding to ensure that every child can attend the public middle school of their choice. This source of funding is set to expire next year and would require voter approval in order to be renewed. What happens if local school funding expires? If this source of locally controlled funding expires, the District is facing $500,000 in cuts. This loss of funds could potentially lead to teacher layoffs, loss of academic programming and the closure of Lakeside School. Does the District have a plan to renew expiring parcel tax funding? The Board is considering a measure that would renew this expiring source of funding at the existing $647 rate, with modest annual inflation adjustments to keep up with the rising cost of providing a quality education. This would allow Lakeside School to keep its doors open without putting an additional undue burden on our local taxpayers. How exactly would a parcel tax renewal measure support LJSD schools and students? The current measure under consideration would renew the existing parcel tax at current rates and could continue to be used to: Keep Lakeside School open Attract and retain highly qualified teachers and school staff Provide a quality public middle school education for every student Protect core academic programs in reading, writing and math Support innovative academic programs in science, technology and engineering Maintain our whole-child, broad-based curriculum that includes the arts, music, physical education, gardening and outdoor education Offer mental health support to meet students’ academic and social emotional needs Would fiscal accountability provisions be included in a potential renewal measure? Any local funding measure would include strict fiscal accountability requirements, including: All proceeds are controlled locally and cannot be taken away by the State No money can be used for administrators’ salaries or pensions Independent citizens’ oversight and mandatory annual audits are required Senior Citizen homeowners are eligible for an exemption from the cost How much would the potential renewal measure cost? If approved, the potential measure would renew the existing parcel tax at the current rate of $647 per year with modest annual inflation adjustments to keep up with the rising cost of providing a quality education until ended by voters. Has past voter-approved funding been spent as intended? Yes. The LJSD Citizens’ Oversight Committee has reviewed past spending of parcel tax funding and has found that Lakeside Joint School District has spent all its funds on voter-approved programs. Would senior citizen homeowners be exempt from the cost of the potential measure? Yes. Senior citizen homeowners would continue to be eligible for an exemption from the cost of the measure, as would residents with disabilities. Current exemptions need not reapply. If you are eligible for an exemption but aren’t currently exempt you will need to apply for exemption. Would all funds benefit Lakeside School only? Yes, all funds from the potential measure would benefit Lakeside School only. No funds could be taken by the state or used for any purpose other than supporting Lakeside School. I don’t have children attending local schools. How would this measure impact me? Even if you don’t have children attending community schools, quality local schools keep our community and property values strong. How can I share my thoughts? If you have any questions or input that you would like to share, please contact lsjd@lakesidelosgatos.org .

PBIS puede ayudar a mejorar el bienestar social y emocional de los estudiantes, así como el rendimiento académico.  PBIS también ayuda a mantener un ambiente escolar positivo, enfocándose en lo que los niños pueden hacer mediante el refuerzo de comportamientos positivos en lugar de enfocarse en lo que no están haciendo y castigar los comportamientos inapropiados. "También mejora la salud y el bienestar de los maestros. Es una forma de crear entornos de aprendizaje positivos, predecibles, equitativos y seguros donde todos prosperan". (Aprende másaquí .)  En Lakeside, PBIS se implementa a través de las 3 B: Sea seguro, sea respetuoso, sea responsable. Al enfatizar las 3 B, tanto los estudiantes como el personal tienen un conjunto consistente de expectativas que alentamos tanto dentro como fuera del salón de clases.  Equipos de Éxito Estudiantil Tanto los estudiantes de educación especial como los de educación general pueden recibir apoyo con un Equipo de Éxito Estudiantil (SST).

Estándares y Evaluaciones Nuestro objetivo es educar a cada niño a su máximo potencial. Para lograr este objetivo, los maestros y el personal usan muchas medidas a lo largo del año escolar y durante varios años para determinar cómo los estudiantes están aprendiendo, creciendo y cómo nuestras escuelas y el distrito satisfacen las necesidades de los estudiantes. Los maestros usan múltiples medidas todos los días para ver qué tan bien están creciendo los estudiantes académica, emocional y conductualmente. Los maestros miden el progreso de los estudiantes a través de la observación en el salón de clases, el desempeño en las tareas, las evaluaciones en el salón de clases y la tarea. También utilizamos evaluaciones del distrito y del estado para observar el progreso de los estudiantes de forma longitudinal durante sus años en Lakeside. Evaluaciones formativas Las evaluaciones formativas son aquellas que ayudan a identificar la comprensión y el aprendizaje actuales de los estudiantes para ayudar a guiar la instrucción posterior. Estos se utilizan varias veces durante el año escolar para ayudar a determinar el progreso. En Artes del Lenguaje, Lakeside usa Indicadores Dinámicos de Habilidades Básicas de Alfabetización Temprana (DIBELS), Evaluación de Desarrollo de Lectura (DRA) y registros continuos para comprender los niveles de lectura y alfabetización de los estudiantes. Para los estudiantes del idioma inglés, Lakeside también utiliza las evaluaciones Benchmark Access.  Evaluaciones sumativas Las evaluaciones sumativas ayudan a los maestros a identificar cuánto ha aprendido un estudiante después de completar un curso de estudio. Los ejemplos de evaluaciones sumativas que usa Lakeside incluyen pruebas de capítulos y pruebas de unidad del plan de estudios, evaluaciones de aprendizaje basado en proyectos (PBL) y proyectos de escritura. Evaluación de California del Rendimiento y Progreso Estudiantil (CAASPP) A fines de la primavera, los estudiantes en los grados 3 a 8 participan en las Evaluaciones Sumativas Smarter Balanced (SBAC) que son parte del Sistema de Evaluación del Rendimiento y Progreso Estudiantil de California (CAASPP). Los exámenes: Mida qué tan bien su hijo ha dominado las habilidades y el contenido en matemáticas y artes del lenguaje inglés (ELA)  en su nivel de grado (grado 3-8). Y en Ciencias para los grados 5 y 8. Alinearse con la instrucción que se lleva a cabo en el salón de clases todos los días. Haga coincidir los objetivos de aprendizaje de cada nivel de grado. Evaluar el pensamiento crítico, la escritura analítica y las habilidades de resolución de problemas, que son necesarias para tener éxito en la universidad y en una carrera del siglo XXI. Las evaluaciones tienen diferentes tipos de preguntas, incluidas las preguntas tradicionales de opción múltiple, así como secciones que requieren que los estudiantes expliquen sus respuestas, muestren su trabajo y redacten ensayos. Las pruebas se adaptan a la computadora, lo que permite la medición en toda la gama de logros. Los estudiantes de educación general tomarán el SBAC. Los estudiantes de Educación Especial pueden tomar el SBAC o la Evaluación Alternativa de California (CAA) dependiendo de su IEP. Los alumnos de 5º y 8º grado también toman el Examen de Ciencias de California (CAST). Para obtener más información, visite el Departamento de Educación de California CAASPPsitio web . ELPAC Las Evaluaciones de Dominio del Idioma Inglés para California (ELPAC, por sus siglas en inglés) son las que se usan para "medir qué tan bien los estudiantes de jardín de infantes (K) hasta el grado doce entienden inglés cuando no es su idioma principal. La información de ELPAC ayuda al maestro de su hijo a brindar apoyo para escuchar, hablar y , leyendo y escribiendo." (https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/documents/elpacpgtu.pdf) Esta es una evaluación sumativa administrada hacia el final del año escolar.
