2014-15 School Accountability Report Card for HORNER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Page 2 of 12

About the SARC 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 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 at (510) 656-4000 or the district office.

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2015-16) The main fact about textbooks that the Williams legislation calls for describes whether schools have enough books in core classes for all students. The law also asks districts to reveal whether those books are presenting what the California Content Standards call for. All of our textbooks are the most recently approved by the State Board of Education or our Local Governing Agency.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements (Most Recent Year) Horner Junior High opened in 1958 with an administrative office/classrooms building and a library building. In 1959, we added two classroom wings and a multiuse room. In 1964, a locker room building and classroom wing were added, and in 1990 and 1992 two modular classrooms were added. Three modular classrooms and a restroom modular were added in 1996, one modular was added in both 1999 and 2001, and three science lab modular classrooms were added in 2003. In 2005, our new community-use gymnasium was completed and provides additional PE classroom space as well as courts for our basketball and volleyball teams. The primary buildings at Horner Junior High measure 72,413 square feet, while the auxiliary buildings measure 1,424 square feet. In the fall of 2007, there was a new covered area with tables added at which students can eat lunch. The new structure is by the portable classrooms. Restrooms were remodeled to become Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. During the summer of 2008, the school had a new walkway installed in front of the school. The school has been allocated 32 hours of daily custodial time, and the services of district maintenance and gardening crews help ensure that the school is clean and maintained. The custodial time allowance is based on a formula that factors in the size of the school, the number of students, and the number of carpeted rooms. Fremont USD maintenance staff works very hard to ensure that repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. District maintenance staff uses a work order priority process to ensure that efficient service and emergency repairs are given the highest priority. To determine the condition of our facilities, our district sent experts from our facilities team to perform an inspection using a survey called the Facilities Inspection Tool, which is issued by the Office of Public School Construction. Based on that survey, we’ve answered the questions you see on this report. Please note that the information reflects the condition of our buildings as of the date of the report. Since that time, those conditions may have changed.

C. Engagement

State Priority: Parental Involvement The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (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 We have many ways for parents to participate in the life of our school, and we depend on parents to keep our programs running smoothly. Parents join our School Site Council (SSC), which works with administration, teachers, and staff to monitor academic progress and progress towards school goals. Parents of English Learners are vital to our English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC) and to our outreach efforts on behalf of new families. Our PTSA works with teachers to hold Back-to-School Night in the fall and Open House in the spring. We expect all parents to attend these events. Parents organize the socials, 8th grade field trip, and promotion party. We are continuously recruiting new volunteers and parental assistance to improve the junior high experience for our students. We encourage parent involvement at school. Parents are invited to visit Horner as part of the incoming 7th grade orientation, attend with students on Maze Day, follow their students’ schedules on Back-to-School Night, and see examples of students’ work at our Open House. We encourage parents to stay connected through FUSD's online School Loop system. For information about where you can participate or help, parents or guardians may contact the administrators, counselors, and staff by calling Horner Junior High School at (510) 656-4000.

State Priority: School Climate The SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6): • Pupil suspension rates, pupil expulsion rates; and other local measures on the sense of safety. School Safety Plan Our supervision needs are divided into five areas. These areas are monitored by a campus supervisor and other staff members before and after school and during lunch. The safety plan is reviewed with staff at the start of every school year. All components are discussed and teachers regularly review the rules with students for safe, responsible behavior in school and on the grounds. We have a closed campus. Visitors must enter the school through the main door and sign in at the office . Students are not allowed off campus during the school day. We revise our school safety plan annually; it was last revised October 2015. The plan includes procedures for emergencies, exit routes, handling chemicals and hazardous materials, and inventories of emergency supplies. Drills are held on a regular basis; fire drills are held four times a year and disaster drills are held twice a year. This school has a fire alarm system to protect the facility. The PTSA updates disaster supply needs and works with the staff on the school disaster plan. The Horner Site Safety Committee meets four times a year to review and revise the school safety plan. This plan is available upon request.
