|Information memorandum |

|Date: |September 29, 2006 |

|TO: |Members, STATE BOARD of EDucation |

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

| |School and District Operations Branch |

|SUBJECT: |Substantial Progress Report Regarding the Elimination of the Multitrack Year-Round Education Concept 6 Calendar by Lodi |

| |and Los Angeles Unified School Districts Pursuant to California Education Code Section 37685, 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 Section 37670). The lost days of instruction are made up by adding additional minutes to each school day. Two districts currently operate Concept 6 Calendars: Los Angeles Unified (LAUSD) and Lodi Unified (LUSD).

Education Code Section 37685, added as part of the Williams settlement, prohibits the use of Concept 6 calendars after July 1, 2012, and requires any district that is operating such a calendar to submit evidence in writing each July 1 to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) that substantial progress has been made in reaching its annual numerical goals to eliminate the use of the Concept 6 calendar as established in its Comprehensive Action Plan (CAP).

As of July 1, 2006, both of the Districts have made substantial progress in their elimination of the use of Concept 6 as established in the Districts’ CAPs. The LAUSD’s

2005-06 goal was to have 192,852 resident enrollees attending a total of 88 Concept 6 schools. As of June 30, 2006, the LAUSD has a resident enrollment of 183,141 (Attachment 1) attending a total of 85 Concept 6 schools exceeding its resident enrollment goal by 9,812 and number of Concept 6 schools by three. The LUSD opened six schools on modified traditional calendars August 1, 2005, leaving three schools on Concept 6. The remaining three schools in LUSD were scheduled to open on modified traditional calendars by July 31, 2006, as outlined in their CAP. The District submitted a

final progress report on August 8, 2006, stating that effective July 31, 2006, all District schools are on a modified traditional calendar.

Attachment 1: List of Concept 6 Schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District

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

This is a list of 2005-06 Concept 6 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, showing actual resident enrollment and uncertified 2005-06 California Basic Educational System (CBEDS). Resident enrollment is the number of grade level appropriate pupils who live in a school’s attendance area and attend that school, participate in a transportation program (other than a magnet school program), or participate in the open enrollment program. In this case, students attending a school on a permit are ‘returned’ to their neighborhood school but not magnet students.
