School Accountability Report Card

Reported Using Data from the 2016-17 School Year

Published During 2017-18

By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at

http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or

the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners). Internet Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4): • Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the

Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAAs items are aligned with alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities); and

• The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study.

Note: ELA test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard (i.e., achieved Level 3–Alternate) on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments. Note: Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy. Note: The number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not; however, the number of students tested is not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculated using only students who received scores.

C. Engagement

State Priority: Parental Involvement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Parental Involvement (Priority 3): • Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each schoolsite. Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2017-18)

Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy provide options for parents who are looking within the existing public school system for alternative educational approaches that will afford students opportunities to participate in an innovative, high quality, performance-based education that meet measurable student learning outcomes. Both schools acknowledge and value parental involvement as a powerful influence on student achievement and a key predictor of a student's academic and personal success. LCCS (Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy) addressed parent involvement in its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) by establishing action steps to continue to improve family engagement. Both schools encourage and support the meaningful engagement of parents and stakeholders.


Each school has charter advisory councils consisting of parents, students, teachers, administrators and other school staff that provide input and make recommendations on program direction in all areas including but not limited to curriculum, staff development, resource allocation and recruitment and selection of staff. In addition, representatives of both schools participate in the Learning Community Charter School Site Council, which oversees the Single Plan for Student Achievement. Through the LCCS Site Council, Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy create a culture of collaborative leadership to improve each school's program and promote the academic achievement and personal well-being of students. Each school has a Parent Activity Meeting consisting of parents, students, teachers, administrators, and community members to provide to parents activities to further develop/enhance a parent's role in his/her students education at each school. These meetings can be lead by parents, teachers, students, and community members. Each school employs a Parent Liaison who provides numerous opportunities for parents/guardians/caregivers to become involved in their child's school and acquire heightened confidence in their parenting skills. Parents/guardians/caregivers receive consistent communication from the school regarding student progress, parent training's and school events. Parents and teachers of students in grades K-12 at Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy form an educational team that supports parents to develop a positive perspective on education, strengthen relationships with the school and learn to advocate for their children. For more information on Parent Involvement at STEP UP Academy, please contact Spencer Ansorge, Principal at 2345 Fair Street, Chico, CA 95928 or telephone (530) 879-7411. For more information on Parent Involvement at Hearthstone School, please contact Nick Catomerisios, Principal at 2280 6th Street, Oroville, CA 95965 or telephone (530) 532-5848.

School Safety Plan (School Year 2017-18)

Butte County Office of Education (BCOE) is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for students and employees. BCOE last revised its “Comprehension Safe School Plan” for all BCOE Schools in Spring 2012. It is currently under revision for publication in Spring 2018. The plan includes the status of its school safety plan, including a description of its elements, in the annual school accountability report card prepared pursuant to Education Code Sections 33126 and 35256. Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy identified two key elements/goals in their School Safety Plans: 1) Physical Environment Goal: Create a safe and clean physical environment that communicates respect for learning and individuals. 2) School Climate Goal: Create a caring, connected and safe school community utilizing the support of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. Both Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy reviewed their respective School Safety Plans with school staff and parent advisory councils and gained approval from Learning Community Charter School Site Council: STEP UP Academy and Hearthstone approved on September 18, 2017 and January 23, 2017 respectively.

Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy update annually the Professional Development Plans to ensure high-quality instruction for students. The primary focus of professional development has been to ensure implementation of CCSS aligned instruction and social-emotional learning for all students. Butte County Office of Education (BCOE) offers teachers up to three (3) days and instructional paraprofessionals one (1) day of staff development in compliance with the Staff Development Buy-Back Program. One of the (3) days for teachers requires mandatory attendance as per teacher association MOU agreement with BCOE. BCOE Student Programs and Services (SPS) administration and Title 1 teachers continue to provide instructional services and supports to fulfill the SPS Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Implementation Plan. The CCSS Implementation Plan includes the instructional shifts to be made and how all staff including administrators, teachers and paraprofessionals will be supported to make these shifts as well as a detailed outline of specific tasks for progress through CCSS implementation. Title 1 plays a pivotal role in supporting the rollout of CCSS as it relates to increasing student achievement for all students. BCOE has established a systematic process that identifies Title 1 teacher as leaders and coaches and provides trainings to increase their knowledge of CCSS and coaching strategies. SPS has participated in the implementation of PBIS and the ongoing professional development over the past four years. Regularly scheduled time is set for Title 1 teachers and general/special education teachers to meet and focus on CCSS implementation, selecting/modeling appropriate instructional materials to teach CCSS, embedding technology into instruction, developing lessons and Pacing Guides and meeting collaboratively to review instructional delivery and identify effective instructional strategies. BCOE provides support for all staff including administrators, classroom and non-classroom based teachers and paraprofessionals to increase their understanding and effective use of technology including getting technology into the hands of students to support their learning. Hearthstone and STEP UP Academy staff participate in ongoing opportunities for professional growth, including conferences, workshops and regularly scheduled staff meetings. Both schools are strongly committed to building and sustaining a culture of continuous improvement as Professional Learning Communities (PLC) that promote a high level of instructional leadership and professional learning to ensure great teaching for every student every day. PLCs develop the capacity of staff to work collegially and effectively as collaborative teams, acquire knowledge and skills and improve professional practices ensure learning and achievement for all students.
