La Jolla High School Autonomy Agreement

Here is an old document defining LJHS' Autonomy Agreement. This was apparently negotiated under Alan Bersin in an effort to appease parents/staff of LJHS that wanted to change the school to a charter school.

It is not clear how such an agreement could be made without agreement by the SDEA (teacher's union). Provisions in the agreement directly impact collectively bargained provisions of the contract with the SDEA.

Regardless, this may serve as a template for a future autonomy agreement for the MB Cluster. Such an autonomy agreement might have features that include exceptions to post/bid to retain teachers trained at the expense of PTO's or the MB Cluster. It may also include provisions to protect the IB program and curriculum or require that students attending from outside the attendance boundary enroll in the IB diploma program.
