September 13, 2017 CUSD BOT Meeting Agenda Item #26 Fourth Quarter Report- Williams Settlement Legislation Uniform Complaint | |
https://www.aclusocal.org/en/williams-complaint-process CUSD is reporting that there were not any complaints filed with any school in the district citing deficiencies related to textbooks and instructional materials, teacher vacancies or mis-assignments, and facility conditions posing a threat to student/staff health or safety during the quarter April 1 - June 30, 2017. Eliezer Williams, et al., vs. State of California, et al. (Williams) The basis of the lawsuit was that the agencies failed to provide public school students with equal access to instructional materials, safe and decent school facilities, and qualified teachers. The case was settled in 2004, and as a result, the CDE has made changes to the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) template that all schools must update and publish annually. Board Policy 1312.4 mandates school districts establish policies and procedures to resolve deficiencies related to textbooks and instructional materials, teacher vacancies or mis-assignments, and facility conditions posing a threat to student/staff health or safety.
