 Technology professional development for all schools. In order for students to be career and college ready they must have access to up‐to‐date technology and use
it on a regular basis, therefore, teachers are appropriately trained in the effective use of technology which is aligned to instructional goals.

 Student access to intervention and academic support services. Additional support systems, programs and staff has been planned to meet the needs of students
who are struggling and performing below grade level to ensure they graduate and become college and career ready.

 Access to college and career programs, intervention programs, and specialized program resources and services. Increased courses such as AVID, International
Baccalaureate, and four year college course preparatory classes will be offered to high school students. Further, various programs will be offered to all students
including Gifted and Talented students, Special Education, at‐risk leaners, and students in all subgroups at Kindergarten to 12th grade level to help better prepare
for college and career.

 Parent trainings, workshops, and activities. By providing trainings to parents on various topics such as leadership, engagement, college and career, and
motivational topics, our parents will have the tools to help their child at home. Also, we will increase parent participations at district and school site level
workshops.

 Resources and support for STEM and Arts (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Arts). STEM and Arts programs will prepare students for innovative jobs in
the future by developing 21st century skills.

 Attendance Monitoring System. Attendance is crucial in order for our students to increase their achievement and chances of graduating college and career ready.
School and Student Community Services department will monitor student attendance and provide ongoing support in increasing attendance and decreasing
suspension and expulsion rates.

 School climate surveys of students. Through the implementation of district and school level surveys, it will help to obtain student, parent and staff input on
engagement and school climate.

 Use of funds for unduplicated pupils: The District has determined these actions are the most effective use of funds to meet the goals.
