During meetings involving staff, students, and parents, feedback was gathered through presentations, discussions, and surveys. Feedback wasused to revise and develop goals and actions for the 2020-2021 LCAP for James Rutter Middle School.

Opportunities were included during the following meetings:Parent Engagement Meeting: 08/21/2019SSC: 02/26/2020, 4/29/2020Back to School Night: 08/28/2019 Leadership: 10/15/2019, 01/21/2020ELAC: 11/18/2019, 02/12/2020Staff Meetings: 01/09/2020Professional Learning: 09/26/2019, 11/21/2019

Data was shared with school leadership and staff on 10/15/2019, 11/18/2019, 12/17/2019, 1/21/2020, 2/18/2020Data was shared with School Site Council on 2/26/2020 and 4/29/2020. The Spring ELAC meeting was held on 2/13/2020. The Spring SSC meetings were held on 2/26/2020 (1st spring meeting) and 4/29/2020 (2ndspring meeting).

Resource InequitiesBriefly identify and describe any resource inequities identified as a result of the required needs assessment, as applicable.

James Rutter Middle School was identified as CSI for the 2020-2021 school year. The following subgroups are in the Red in the CA Dashboard forEnglish Language Arts: African Americans, Hispanics, English Learners, and Students with Disabilities. The following subgroups are in the Red inthe CA Dashboard for Math: African American, English Learners, White, Two or More Races. The following subgroups are Orange in theCalifornia Dashboard for English Language Arts: Asian, Two or More Races, Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, and White. The following



subgroups are Orange in the California Dashboard in Math: Asian, Hispanic, Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, and Students with Disabilities.The following subgroups are Red in the California Dashboard for Conditions and Climate: African American, English Learners, Hispanic, White,Two or More Races, Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, and Students with Disabilities. The following subgroups are Orange in the CaliforniaDashboard for Conditions and Climate: Asian and Pacific Islander.

This demonstrated a need for additional targeted support to meet growth goals. As a result, of our needs assessment, additional resources havebeen allocated to support an increase in achievement through changes in instructional, assessment, and attendance programs and practices.Additional support will be provided in ELA and Math by facilitating release time for teachers to collaborate, build units, and prepare formativeand summative assessments. Additional support will be provided to increase Attendance and Chronic Absenteeism through increased Climateand Culture and school connectedness.
