MEMORANDUM
DATE:

December 1, 2017

TO:

MEMBERS, State Board of Education

FROM:

TOM TORLAKSON, State Superintendent of Public Instruction

SUBJECT:

California School Dashboard: District and School Student Group Results
for the Revised Academic Indicator

Summary of Key Issues
At the November 2017 State Board of Education (SBE) meeting, the SBE approved
revisions to the Academic Indicator, including new Change cut scores for English
language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics, new Status cut scores for mathematics,
and new color designations for the five-by-five grids for ELA and mathematics. The SBE
requested that the California Department of Education provide the SBE with district and
school student group data for the Academic Indicator, similar to the data provided in the
January 2017 SBE item
(https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr17/documents/jan17item02.doc and
https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr17/documents/jan17item02a1addendum.doc).
This Information Memorandum provides state level student group data at the local
educational agency (LEA) and school levels for ELA and mathematics, using the revised
cut scores and color designations adopted by the SBE in November 2017. (Please note
that charter schools are considered LEAs under the Local Control Funding Formula and
are included in the district level results.)
