X Factor Funding - 2012/13 proposal

This was passed onto me third hand on or about Jan 31, 2012. It contains the proposed (?) X Factor funding for each site in SDUSD based upon projected enrollment.

At first glance, it seems that sites are getting a much different allocation than 2011/12. However, a more careful analysis shows a change in methodology:

2011/12: Per capita funding was based upon discrete categories (small, medium, large site)
2012/13: A formula was applied to create per capita funding based upon the precise enrollment

The new formula appears consistently applied to all sites. However, some sites appear to gain (lose) because last year they were on the edge (boundary) of a small, medium, or large classification.

Strategic Process - Implementation of Vision 2020

The BoE approved the Vision 2020 over a year ago. This vision included addressing the persistent achievement gap (see the document below) as well as the goal of ensuring that all students have available the classwork to apply to a four year college.

Below is a draft of a document that outlines a process for achievement and monitoring progress towards the goals of Vision 2020.
