RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Governing Board approve to add the attached addendum to the 2016-17 and 2017-18 High School Planning Guides (HSPG), effective for the 2016-17 school year, to allow this practice to begin for our students already this spring.
BACKGROUND:
Recently, the Arizona State Board of Ed approved a State Seal of Biliteracy distinction, recognizing high school students who achieve proficiency in English plus at least one additional language by the spring of their senior year of high school. The State Seal of Biliteracy is a statement of accomplishment for college admission and for future employers. Members of our SUSD Teaching and Learning Team, Curriculum Specialist, Julie Vazquez, and SUSD teachers have worked to create the systems to allow all SUSD students completing any WL level IV-H and beyond an opportunity to earn this distinction (recognized on the diploma and noted on the high school transcript).
IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND DISTRICT GOAL ALIGNMENT The proposed revisions to the HSPG allow students taking World Language courses across SUSD the opportunity to earn the State Seal of Biliteracy distinction – better preparing our students for college and careers beyond high school.

Submitted by: Funding: Daniel O’Brien, CFO Capital Override
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the Issuance of a Request for Proposal for contracted English Language Arts Intervention Resources.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Request for Proposal (RFP) is to secure a vendor(s) to provide English Language Arts Intervention Tools that will provide opportunities for students to have an individualized learning program geared toward their unique needs. Once the areas of weakness are identified, the students would be assigned a variety of re-engagement experiences to ensure mastery of the concepts. The intervention tools should be able to track student progress over time and provide classroom, school, and district-level data about the progress. The English Language Arts based tools should also provide ongoing professional development, instructional support, and materials for teachers to assist developing students of K-12 understanding and confidence. For this procurement, it is necessary to compare different price, quality and contractual factors, to conduct discussions with the offerors and to award a contract in which price alone is not the determining factor. Therefore, competitive sealed bidding is not practicable or advantageous to the District and the competitive sealed proposal method is used.
IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND DISTRICT GOAL ALIGNMENT English Language Arts Intervention Tools and Academic Achievements will allow the District to continue to provide students with the services necessary to ensure quality learning.
