The COH is looking to expand the school-based oral health clinic program to the San Diego area. District staff and staff from the COH have held preliminary discussions and have identified two potential sites for school-based oral health clinics, Kempton and Bancroft Elementary Schools. Conrado Barzaga, Executive Director; and Tiffany Turner, Program Manager with Center for Oral Health, will provide the Board with an overview of the COH, the school-based oral health clinic, and respond to clarifying questions.

ITEM NUMBER: S-3 New Business Action Item Authorization to Enter into an Agreement with Peachjar, Inc. In the electronic age of Facebook, Twitter, and Pintrest, parents are increasingly looking for electronic communications from the District and our schools that reach out directly to them as opposed to being posted to a website.

In addition, Peachjar establishes a website where families can view flyers that have been previously posted. Peachjar works with the District free of charge to establish an electronic flyer distribution network. The District maintains control over the flyers that are posted, and all District policies and procedures regarding flyer distribution remain in place. Peachjar does charge a nominal service fee to non-district organizations that charge a participation fee. Peachjar will reduce the workload at our sites, save paper, and help ensure that flyers are seen by parents. ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION It is recommended authorization be given to enter into an Agreement with Peachjar, Inc. for electronic flyer distribution.

Principals were trained on the use of the template, guaranteeing state compliance requirements are met while allowing for the individual needs of the school site. Work on the plans began mid-August. Goals were formed based on analysis of standardized test scores from the previous year and the most recent District benchmark data with input into the goals collected at staff meetings, grade-level team meetings, School Site council meetings, PTA meetings, and English Learner Advisory Council meetings. Drafts were finalized in the fall and all plans have been approved by each School Site Council.

The District has employed two new administrators holding a preliminary administrative services credential. The District wishes to enter into an agreement with the San Diego County Superintendent of Schools to authorize participation of the identified administrators in the County’s program to obtain a clear administrative services credential.
