DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report describes important features of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SM-MUSD), providing background information as the district establishes its goals. The analysis shows that SM-MUSD's total revenues are greater than those of similar districts and Los Angeles County on a per-pupil basis but below the revenues of high-achieving districts. Santa Monica-Malibu teachers are among the best prepared in the state, and SM-MUSD allocates resources in ways that are similar to the comparison districts, such as the apportioning of administrative salaries, but the percentage of total revenue spent on teacher salaries in SM-MUSD is below the percentage spent by the high-achieving districts. Average teacher salaries in SM-MUSD are comparable to salaries in both sets of districts, while initial teacher salaries are at the top of both sets of districts. The proportion of revenues spent on counselors' salaries is near the middle of the ranges for other districts, and SM-MUSD spends more on classroom aides as a proportion of total revenues than most of the similar districts and most high-achieving districts. Overall, SM-MUSD has similar resources, uses them in similar ways, and its students perform relatively well, though they lag behind students in the highest-achieving districts in the state. (RJM)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe District of Columbia (DC) has struggled for decades to improve its public education system. In 2007 the DC government made a bold change in the way it governs public education with the goal of shaking up the system and bringing new energy to efforts to improve outcomes for students. The Public Education Reform Amendment Act (PERAA) shifted control of the city's public schools from an elected school board to the mayor, developed a new state department of education, created the position of chancellor, and made other significant management changes. A Plan for Evaluating the District of Columbia's Public Schools offers a framework for evaluating the effects of PERAA on DC's public schools. The book recommends an evaluation program that includes a systematic yearly public reporting of key data as well as in-depth studies of high-priority issues including: quality of teachers, principals, and other personnel; quality of classroom teaching and learning; capacity to serve vulnerable children and youth; promotion of family and community engagement; and quality and equity of operations, management, and facilities. As part of the evaluation program, the Mayor's Office should produce an annual report to the city on the status of the public schools, including an analysis of trends and all the underlying data. A Plan for Evaluating the District of Columbia's Public Schools suggests that D.C. engage local universities, philanthropic organizations, and other institutions to develop and sustain an infrastructure for ongoing research and evaluation of its public schools. Any effective evaluation program must be independent of school and city leaders and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders. Additionally, its research should meet the highest standards for technical quality.
