“Some (people) see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not?

George Bernard Shaw

Why not promote and expand the use of online

instructional materials and student access to technology

using standards-based curricula?

Why not lead the effort to find a solution to ADA and

instructional minutes barriers that limit flexibility in using

technology in synchronous and asynchronous online

instruction?

Why not draw upon assessment approaches from multiple sectors outside of education that are ongoing, balanced, adaptive, multi-modal,

and relevant to real world applications?

Why not create modern, personalized assessments for students that can help

tailor instruction - even within one class period?

Why not encourage (and) reward teachers and administrators for using technology, including offering PD to prepare them for its use across the

education spectrum?

Why not provide every student access to at least one Internet device for learning anytime and anywhere?

Why not form public and private partnerships for the funding and use of technology in the classroom?

Why not develop guidance documents for students and their schools on safety and appropriate use...?

Why not continue pursuing minimum bandwidth

standards...connecting every school adequately based on

those defined standards across the state regardless of geographic challenges?

We will dream big, plan well and execute collaboratively.

TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT

• Operates 97 school buses from three different locations

• Provides more than 8,800 daily rides for students in the Sweetwater Union High School District

• This includes more than 816 special needs students transported to our 24 Sweetwater schools and additional 26 locations throughout San Diego County

At the start of the budget process in March 2012, the district needed to close a $27 million deficit. Among the cost-saving measures adopted was an increase in the walking distance to qualify for bus service by half a mile in order to save $800,000, the equivalent to 10 percent of the $8 million annual transportation budget

TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT

2011 - 2012• 7,894 students transported• 88 Bus Routes/Bus Drivers• Distance in miles to qualify for transportation: Middle School students (2.0 miles), High School students (3.0 miles)

• Identified and quickly repaired immediate structural and environmental hazards (MVM walkway / ELH tree)

• Worked alongside the Prop O teams to provide the most accommodating facilities for current and future needs
