The William S. Hart Union High School District has identified a new online facility request and rental system designed to provide a positive user experience for all.  With the new web-based system, reservations and requests can be submitted easily and will be handled more efficiently. Renters will be able to access photos and descriptions of District facilities, see real-time availability, get estimated quotes, and pay online.

All Hart District facility use policies will be reflected in the new system, and District administrative staff will make final decisions on all facility use requests.  Implementation of this new service will improve customer service for community users and staff.  Additionally, the new system will automate, streamline, and standardize the process of managing facility use requests.

There is no upfront cost to the District for use of this system.  Through standardization of practice, we anticipate increased Civic Center usage by the community, which will offset the commission rates for the implementation of this system.

Mid-year analysis of each plan reveals necessary updates and revisions.  Each school site council has approved its respective revisions after consulting with school leadership teams and advisory councils and recommends them to the Board for approval.  All legal requirements remain in place for each plan that was approved in November 2017.  Annual evaluations conducted at that time meet the requirements of Board Policy 6190.

Attached is the revision of the Single Plan for School Achievement (SPSA) for the remainder of this current 2017-2018 school year for La Mesa Junior High School.  Goals and action plans remain aligned with Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) District goals and school goals for increased student achievement.

Secondary schools provide students with alternative, specialized learning opportunities.

Prior to the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) implementation, the state apportioned funds directly to LACOE for students attending these two schools.  However, due to LCFF changes, LACOE no longer receives funding for students enrolled outside the district of residence and attending specialized secondary schools at parent request.  Funds generated by these students are apportioned to the district of residence rather than LACOE.  The attached Memorandum of Understanding outlines an agreement between the District and LACOE for the pass-through of LCFF revenues generated by students attending the specialized secondary schools.

For the 2017/18 school year, the District has 14 students attending LACHSA, generating approximately $8,762 per ADA in estimated LCFF pass-through dollars for Grades 9 to12 (based on the 2017/18 funded LCFF base and supplemental grants).
