still be up to teachers, principals, and superintendents,but they do provide a clear understanding of whatstudents are expected to learn, so that teachers andparents know what they need to do to help themsucceed. Now, more than ever, our economic climatedemands innovation, collaboration, high expectationsand willingness to move forward as we work toimplement our new state and national standards. I knowthat we can count on your support as we face thischallenge together for the future success of our students.

Superintendent’s MessageA Collective Sigh of ReliefProposition 30 passed on November 6 and that was
much welcomed news to us. In fact, I would say thatthose of us who have children in public schools inCalifornia, work in them, or lead them, breathed a col-lective sigh of relief when the results came in. In OakPark USD it meant that $1.9 million in ‘trigger cuts’were avoided and we can remain with our status quobudget for the rest of this school year. It means we willcomplete the full school year and no further cuts willbe made. I think also, it showed that the people ofCalifornia support public schools and understand thatour schools are our future. I am hopeful we have turned a corner and we are
going to begin emerging from the nightmare of the lastseveral years that saw our budget cut by 23%. With theadditional tax revenues that will be collected due toProposition 30 and an improving state economy, moremoney should flow to public schools in the years tocome. This year, however, we know that we will only
receive what we received last year and cuts were madein order to balance our budget due to increasingexpenses and a structural deficit, which is spendingusing one-time federal funding that is now gone.Enrollment growth from the District of Choice pro-
gram mitigated much of the cut that would have oth-erwise been required. We project a reserve of less than2% this year, as the decision was made by the Board tospend down as low as allowed in order to preserve asmuch of the program as possible. We are prohibitedto go lower than 1% and last year we ended with a bal-ance of 1.03%. Districts our size should have reserveswell above 5% to be prudent. I guess I am trying to say that although it looks like
we may have turned a corner, things are still tough andwe have a long way to go before we will see increasesfrom the state. However, as I reflect on the last fewyears I am proud we have managed to maintain our180-day school year, kept all of our employees to serveyour children, and actually saw significant increases instudent achievement due to the collective effort ofteachers, support staff, administrators, counselors,good decisions on the part of the school board, and theoverwhelming support from parents, financially andotherwise. Please allow me to express my gratitude toyou once again for this support and may I ask you toplease continue to provide it as we hopefully work ourway out of this crisis and into a more positive and con-structive period in public education in California andOak Park.

With Proposition 30 we will receive flatfunding from the state this year, the same amount aslast year without any cost of living increase but withoutthe trigger cuts we were afraid of.

So, there really is no downside for students to continue to take the Subject tests. If a student
scores well (i.e. in the 600+ range), they have the option of sending the scores and having it poten-
tially help their application. If they don’t score well, they simply don’t send it!
SUBJECT TESTS: So, Are the SAT Subject Tests Dead?
The answer in a nutshell is – NO! It is true that the UC system no longer requires them for
admission. However, there are still many colleges (i.e. Ivy League and other highly selective uni-
versities - see the list at the bottom of this page). Many of the schools who don't require them do
invite a student to submit Subject Test scores if they feel the score(s) will help their application.
In fact, this is the approach the UC’s are now taking with the Subject tests. The UC policy allows
individual campuses to “recommend” that students submit Subject tests. Furthermore, several
UC majors (like Engineering) do still require one or more Subject tests like the Math Level 2
and/or a science related Subject Test. For more details on the UC's SAT Subject test recommen-

More on the SAT Subject Tests
When Should Students take the SAT Subject Tests?
The best time to take these tests is at the point in the student’s high school career where they are the mostknowledgeable in that subject. For example, for students choosing to take the American History orChemistry elective tests - the end of the Junior year would be best since most students take these classes inthe 11th grade. For tests such as Biology or World History, it would be best for most students to take themat the end of their sophomore year - when they are taking those classes. For more information about theSubject Tests click on the following College Board hyperlink: http://sat.collegeboard.org/about-tests/sat-subject-tests
Should students do test preparation for the Subject Tests?In truth, the best preparation for the Subject Tests is the studying students are already doing as they takethese subjects during the regular school year. However, it is still wise for students to familiarize themselveswith the test materials, and most Test Preparation services do have preparation classes for many of thesetests. Plus the College Board itself has test preparatory materials available at the following link on theirwebsite: www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/lc_two.html

SAT, ACT & AP Score Reporting
How are students supposed to report their scores?
1. Students are responsible for self-reporting their scores in each of their college applications. This alsoincludes the NCAA Clearinghouse as well. 2. Students are responsible for sending official score reports (from either the College Board or the ACT) to allthe schools they're applying to.FYI - these scores are not posted on the OPHS transcript!
What is "Score Choice?"
The ACT has always provided Score Choice as a score reporting option. The College Board has also institutedScore Choice, whereby students can choose which scores to send, either by test date for the SAT ReasoningTest or by individual test for the SAT Subject Tests. It's important to note that each time you sign up for astandardized test (ACT or SAT); you have the option of releasing the scores to 4 schools. In truth, most col-leges only use a student’s highest test scores to make their final admission decision. Therefore, sending all yourscores will rarely have a negative impact on your application for admission. However, if you choose to sendonly the scores from your highest test sittings, Score Choice allows you to do so.
In summary, if you decide not to use the ACT or College Board's Score Choice options, all of your scores willbe sent to your recipients, but students should still feel comfortable sending all scores, since most colleges con-sider a student’s best score.

CSU & UC Score Reporting Procedures:
Scores can be transmitted electronically from the ACT website:www.actstudent.org/scores/send/index.html
• For the CSU system, students can save money by using the ACT Manager score reporting feature in CSU Mentor. This feature allows students to pay for one score to one CSU campus, and then use ACT Manager to forward the score to the other CSU campuses they’re applying to.
• For the UC system, students simply need to send one official score report from the ACT to one UC school and then all 9 campuses will be able to access their scores.
Scores can be sent electronically from the College Board website: www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/scores/sending.html
• For the CSU system, when releasing SAT scores you can save money by paying for just one score report and using the CSU Mentor school code 3594. This code will send score reports to all 23 CSU campuses for the price of one score report.
• For the UC system, students simply need to send one official score report from the College Board to one UC school and then all 9 campuses will be able to access the scores.
AP ® Advanced Placement Score ReportingColleges do not require official AP score reports as part of the initial college application process. They onlyneed to self-report them as part of the college application. However, once a student has committed to acollege/university and they now want to claim the AP credit, they must request an official score report sent totheir school.
AP Automated Score Reporting Services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the followingnumbers:
1-888-308-0013 (toll free in the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada)
