II. School Climate

School Safety Plan

This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan.

OHS actively promotes a safe, clean, and orderly learning environment and has a comprehensive disaster and safety plan in place. The school has both a safety and discipline committee that meet regularly to evaluate existing practices and determine school needs. The safety and discipline plans are reviewed by district committees each year and are approved by the Board of Trustees. �� �� OHS has two full time assistant principals and a resource officer. There is also one campus security supervisor and two universal staff positions, who sometimes serve as a campus supervisor. All five positions are equipped with communication devices, and the campus supervisor has a bicycle for patrol. In addition, OHS has a full-time Oroville Police Department Officer and a part-time probation officer.�� �� Based on our recent safety survey, the majority of students feel safe at Oroville High School. Visitors to OHS must register immediately upon entering the school grounds. �� �� OHS also involves SAC (Staff Advisory Committee) in school safety issues, which include communication concerning, and staff training for, safety and violence incidences. All staff is notified regarding students with a record of violence that could affect classroom management. �� �� All teachers have access to a telephone in their classroom to allow immediate contact with parents or emergency personnel. In addition, several Oroville High School personnel have cell phones and many have hand radios to provide school staff with immediate contact if it is necessary. As a preventative measure, OHS administrators are responsible for conducting periodic safety checks as well as monitoring site upgrades such as alarm installation and repairs��

�� The Safe School Plan encompasses several components (EC 35294.1):�� �� The goal of this document is to outline procedures for a safe and orderly environment at Oroville High School, which allow all students to pursue their educational goals without interference from others. In addition, it is our goal to provide clearly understood procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency. �� �� Maintenance and Improvements:�� The Oroville High School staff, together with the students, parents and community is making every effort to make our school a safe and nurturing environment. While working on our School Safety Plan it became evident that our school needs to address the following safety related maintenance and improvement issues:�� �� Oroville High School administration needs to continue to meet regularly with local law enforcement, emergency and social service agency personnel to update and practice crisis plans in the event of a natural disaster or man made emergency.�� �� Oroville High School has an updated Comprehensive Safety Plan, which is reviewed and updated by March 1 of each year. BP0450(a-d)�� �� It is recognized that students contribute positively to a safe and wholesome school climate when they are actively engaged in their education and when they feel they are an important and integral part of the school community. With this in mind, Oroville High School staff will continue to look for opportunities to promote student growth and affiliation with the school. ��

�� The Oroville High School staff will continue to develop a method to reward and recognize student success including the securing of more college scholarship funds. Staff involved in security and supervision need uniform clothing maintained and replaced as needed annually.�� �� Safety and supervision equipment need annual maintenance and replacement when needed (this includes, but is not limited to cell phones and hand held two-way radios.�� A central component of our school and district crisis plans is the Public Address system. The system at Oroville High School has been in the process of being upgraded. In the event of an emergency it meets minimum standards.�� �� A video camera/ surveillance system has been installed. it meets contemporary daytime school security requirements and records after hours crimes. Problems with student traffic flow and an inadequate amount of tables and seating in the cafeteria result in unnecessary conflict. This creates a safety risk. We have added 8 new cafeteria tables, and our wood shop has provided three rows of rope stands to help keep our students in line in an orderly fashion.

Types of Services Funded

This section provides information about the programs and supplemental services that are available at the school and funded through either categorical or other sources.

During the 03/04 school year Oroville wrote and received the SB65 Motivation and Maintenance Grant. This grant allowed for the hiring of a full time outreach consultant. Two outreach consultants were hired, one full-time and one part-time, to act as a change agent in the effort to prevent student dropout by creating a climate that fosters academic success. The outreach consultant works directly with at-risk students including truants, students at-risk of failing, as well as those who have other personal problems that could lead to failure and dropping out of school. Since November of 2004, one full-time outreach consultant has served as our Dropout Prevention Specialist. She does this primarily by facilitating two programs within the Motivation and Maintenance Program itself: The Student Success Team (SST) and the Collaboration of Services Team (COST). The SST process is a strength-based program designed to empower the at-risk/high risk student to become involved as a pro-active member in his or her own educational process. This is accomplished by bringing together the students parents, teachers, counselor, administrator, and outreach consultant (ORC) to discuss the students strengths and skills in the attempt to use these attributes to aid the student in fashioning a successful academic plan. After a plan has been devised, the Student Study team then meets again a month later to fine tune the plan as the student continues to receive advocacy and support from the parents and professionals in the team. �� �� The COST program is a team of professionals which provides all the support services to the students at OHS. These professionals include both school employees, such as special education staff, and county employees including the School Attendance Review Board (SARB). The COST team also includes: Title I and Title II coordinators, bilingual Para-educators, counselors, the technology coordinator, the Safe and Drug Free Schools coordinator's drug and alcohol coordinator, the Native American coordinator, a Migrant Education representative, the SRO, probation officer, GATE coordinators, mental health counselors from Butte County, the student support advisor (county), campus supervisors, the school psychologist and administration. As the program develops, it is our hope to include more community organizations. The purpose of the Coordinated Services Team is to provide services to at risk students to prevent them from falling through the cracks.�� Members of the COST team utilize SSTs, weekly progress reports, anger management classes, and drug and alcohol counseling, etc. in order to track the services received by high-risk students. The team meets on a weekly basis in order to effectively case manage students who need more than average support in order to graduate from high school. COST members identify certain high-risk students as the focus of weekly discussion and a plan of action is agreed upon within the meetings as to who monitors the student and how to best advocate in order to meet the students needs in the future. Other duties for the outreach consultant include conducting home visits, making one on one student contact, and providing staff and parents education on issues that may interfere with the students ability to graduate. She also attends School Site Council meetings and appropriate training sessions.�� �� The school has programs to avert violence; students are identified and referred to Drug & Alcohol counseling, Anger Management class, and Conflict Management Class as well as a conflict manager student group. We have various campus programs that encourage students to participate in healthy, safe activities. Friday Night Live, Every 15 Minutes, Unity Day, Sober Graduation, and an extensive extracurricular activity program contribute to a safe student community. We have school assemblies that incorporate motivational speakers and programs addressing student emotional issues.�� Several new programs empower students to interact with each other to effect positive change. At the beginning of the 2002 school year OHS began its Link Crew program to connect upper classmen, (Link Crew Leaders), with students in the freshman class as a support for those freshman. Link Leaders provide classroom lessons designed to improve student study skills, organization, and other important academic habits. Link Crew sponsors social outreach activities such as tailgate parties and movie nights to encourage freshmen to become active participants during their high school career. A new Title II grant through Butte County Office of Education has allowed us to continue LINK Crew activities throughout the year.�� �� In the fall of 05/06 24 students were trained as Safe School Ambassadors. This program trains students from different walks of life on campus to identify potential problems dealing with bullying and harassment. They may intercede on sight or inform an adult. �� �� Another program, Conflict Managers, has been in place for several years now. Trained students called conflict managers are called in as a neutral third party to help diffuse conflicts between other students. �� �� Still another program, Respect Days, has just been implemented this year. This program pulls up to 100 hundred students out of class for the day and puts them together in mixed groups to promote respect between races, genders, and other social groups. These new programs have been a positive addition to the support programs already in place.�� �� The school is continually striving for an improved atmosphere. We have a campus beautification committee that takes care of landscaping improvement two times each year. The Student Body Association assumes responsibility for cleaning the student break area weekly and after events. In addition, each class in the Homecoming and Spirit Week celebrations assumes responsibility for cleaning an area of the school. Homecoming and Spirit weeks include a community service project that is performed by each of the classes. There are frequent projects that are integrated into the curriculum, performed by various classes, which improve the campus. Many clubs, such as CSF, Friday Night Live and the Environmental Club, regularly perform community service activities. Student artwork displayed in an on-campus art gallery, the Library Student Art Gallery, the office, and the hall display cases beautify the school while expressing pride in student work. �� �� This year, Butte behavioral Health through the services of Victor family Intervention and Community Support (VCSS) is providing a mental health clinician to the Oroville High Campus. The counselor is here five days a week and has 30 students on her case load with 5 on the referred list. Students must be eligible for Medi-Cal in order to receive the counselors services. The counselor provides weekly individual sessions with clients as well as family therapy. Clinicians also do home visits to provide a more convenient service for families. Students who are experiencing difficulties with such issues as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, depression, anxiety, Post traumatic stress, suicidal attempts, self injurious behavior, physical and verbal aggression, defiance, truancy, mood disorders, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, adjustment disorders, personality disorders, impulse control and psychotic disorders are identified and referred to the clinician. �� There is also a progressive discipline plan in place for ensuring attendance. �� The Nine Step discipline program is a pilot program for the district. It includes positive intervention, counseling, home visits, and family services referrals. Oroville High School has established a sign-in, sign-out procedure to better track student presence on campus. The school works actively to involve the juvenile justice program in habitual attendance problems. In addition, we have a Saturday School disciplinary program to which truant student are assigned. Students are able to receive help from tutors while attending the Saturday School program.�� Teachers are notified of a student's physical or learning disability, critical medical history, or history of violence toward other students or adults via our SASI system or by direct contact between teacher and assistant principal or school psychologist. Teachers are able to view any of their students records concerning attendance and discipline using SASI. In addition, the assistant principal sends all staff suspension information regularly.�� Our staff shares high expectations for all OHS students and a personal commitment to improving our school. �� In addition, our current WASC self-study team has united all stakeholders in a collaborative effort to help identify and plan programs and processes to improve student learning. Since fall 2001, time and resources have been set aside monthly for the SAC (reps. from all stakeholders) and the entire staff to create a school-wide action plan based on school data we gathered and analyzed. �� �� OHS obtained the SB65 grant in January 2005. This program is designed to reduce drop-outs. The program includes an outreach consultant who serves as a student advocate. The outreach consultant works directly with at risk students including truants, students at risk of failing, as well as those who have other personal problems that could lead to failure and dropping out of school. The SB65 program involves a Coordinated Services Team which is comprised of the outreach consultant, a SARB representative from the county, Title I and Title II coordinators, bilingual Para educators, counselors, the technology coordinator, the Safe and Drug Free Schools coordinator, the Native American coordinator, a Migrant Education representative, the SRO, probation officer, GATE coordinators, mental health counselors from Butte County, the student support advisor (county), campus supervisors, the school psychologist and administration. As the program develops, the plan is to include more community organizations. The purpose of the Coordinated Services Team is to provide services to at risk students to prevent them from falling through the cracks.�� �� In 2002/03 Read 180 was purchased to assist students in Oroville Highs reading program. And, in the fall of 2004 the math department implemented Plato Interactive Math to provide interventions and remediation for students struggling to pass the CAHSEE and/or the algebra graduation requirement. �� �� Teachers in remedial reading and ELD classes are in the process of acquiring new materials appropriate to their students. In addition to reading materials, a new computer lab (6 workstations on a cart) has been purchased to support ELL students. Software programs will be researched and purchased in the future.�� �� Home Hospital and Independent study classes are also available for students who require an alternative setting. In addition, the College Connection program is available to seniors.

California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) Results

The California High School Exit Exam is primarily used as a graduation requirement in California, but the results of this exam are also used to determine Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for high schools, as required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. The CAHSEE has an English language-arts section and a math section and, for purposes of calculating AYP, three performance levels were set: Advanced, Proficient, and Not Proficient. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students is 10 or less. The score a student must achieve to be considered Proficient is different than the passing score for the graduation requirement.

Academic Performance Index

The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/.

API Ranks – Three-Year Comparison

This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

Professional Development

This section provides information on the annual number of schooldays dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period.

OHS has placed a strong emphasis on staff development using Title I, Title II, and other grant monies. Every OHS staff development activity is required to support state, district, and site goals for student academic achievement and safety. Our AP instructors have attended workshops to better align the AP curricula using our AP Grant monies and other monies. In the fall of 2004, every OHS teacher attended a workshop regarding the uses of Edusoft, an online computer program that will allow teachers to dis-aggregate student data on state test and local test. Similar professional development workshops are planned for teachers in all subject areas through the 2006-2007 school year. �� �� Teachers are trained to integrate technology into the curriculum using CTAP 120, 210, 310, and Teaching with Technology (TWT) courses. All of our teachers (except teachers hired this year) have been trained in CTAP 100 at a minimum and the majority have gone on to complete one or more of the TWT, CTAP 120, 201, 210 and/or 161 components. Students benefit from teacher training through enriched learning experiences, such as using Power Point, Desktop Publishing and media presentations. Computers and software, including new computer labs, have contributed to increased access to technology for all students. Technology remains a vital part of the curriculum at Oroville High School. �� �� Teachers have been trained in SDAIE, have CLAD credentials, or are in training. Class syllabus incorporate the ESLRs and the standards. Teachers incorporate the ESLRs into their classroom at the beginning of each year. Implementation of the ESLRs is also part of the evaluation process. Student assessment is just beginning to drive instructional practices, while experienced teachers choose their own individual staff development activities. �� �� Historically, teachers have been involved in discipline-specific conferences, seminars, and workshops. We have a Beginning Teachers Support and Assessment (BTSA) plan. BTSA monitors and supports beginning teachers, offering a peer support, analysis of classroom practices, and California Standards for the Teaching profession. BTSA training is required of all first and second-year teachers. Beginning teachers are well supported through BTSA and University Internship Programs.
