PTSA: Parent Teacher Student Association
The main goal of the PTSA is to support the school in providing supplementary services and programs that the school would not normally be able to provide due to funding or compliance issues. The PTSA provided funds for several programs including student incentives such as movie tickets for perfect attendance during the California Standards Test (CST) and scholarships for seniors.
PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT
What You Need to Know About Program Improvement
The No Child Left Behind Legislation mandates that schools meet certain targets every year. These targets are based on whether the schools are making adequate yearly progress (AYP) towards the goal of bringing 100% of their students at least to academic proficiency by the end of the 2013-14 school year. At South East High, progress in reading/language arts and in mathematics must be shown for all student subgroups, including economically disadvantaged students, Hispanic/Latino students, and English Learners. Performance on the California High School Exit Exam is the main indicator of whether AYP is being met, but graduation rates and the Academic Performance Index (API) also must be included. More information regarding the API will be included in a future issue.
If a school does not meet the target for two years in a row then the school enters Program Improvement Year 1. South East High entered Program Improvement in the 2007-08.
