|FROM: |Dr. William Ellerbee, Deputy Superintendent |

| |School and District Operations Branch |

|SUBJECT: |Annual Report Regarding Progress Toward Reaching Annual Numerical Goals in the Elimination of the Multitrack Year-Round |

| |Education Concept 6 Calendar by the Los Angeles Unified School District Pursuant to California Education Code Section |

| |37684, Chapter 901, Statutes of 2004 (Assembly Bill 1550). |

Concept 6 is a multitrack year-round calendar that divides the student population into three tracks of which two tracks attend the school at one time. The Concept 6 calendar provides the maximum increase in the number of students that can attend a school, but limits the number of instructional days to 163 instead of the required 180 (Education Code (EC) Section 37670). The lost days of instruction are made up by adding additional minutes to each school day.

EC Section 37684, which was added by Assembly Bill 1550, part of the Eliezer Williams, et al. vs. State of California, et al. settlement, prohibits the use of Concept 6 calendars after July 1, 2012, and requires any district that is operating a school on a Concept 6 multitrack year-round calendar to submit evidence in writing each January to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI), who shall report to the State Board of Education (SBE), on the progress made in reaching the annual numerical goals to eliminate the use of the Concept 6 calendar as established in its comprehensive action plan (CAP).

The SBE approved the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) CAP on July 6, 2005. The district reported to the SSPI on the progress made in reaching its annual numerical goal as required by EC Section 37684.

As of January 7, 2009, the district has met or exceeded its original goal to eliminate the use of Concept 6 as established in the district’s CAP. LAUSD’s 2008-09 goal was to have 127,588 resident enrollees attending a total of 50 Concept 6 schools. As of January 7, 2009, the district has a resident enrollment of 74,578 (Attachment 1) attending a total of 31 Concept 6 schools. This exceeds the resident enrollment goal by 53,010.

LAUSD is the only district with any remaining Concept 6 schools.

List of Concept 6 Schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District

This is a list of 2008-09 Concept 6 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, showing actual enrollment as certified in the 2007-08 California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS). Resident enrollment is the number of pupils who live in a school’s attendance area and attend that school, participate in a transportation program (other than magnet), or participate in the open enrollment program. In this case, students attending a school on a permit are counted in their neighborhood school, but not magnet students who choose to attend a magnet school instead of their local neighborhood school.
