Program Improvement Updates

NCLB CHOICE:
NCLB School of Choice information and applications were mailed home to TRUSD parents of Elementary and Junior High School students the week of July 15, 2010.  The applications for Choice were due August 20th.  We are currently processing the applications and coordinating with our Transportation Department to establish routes for Choice students .  Students must remain at their home schools until they have been notified by the TRUSD Categorical Programs Department that the transfer can take place. 

All students enrolled at the schools below are eligible for Choice:

Elementary: Babcock, Castori, Del Paso, Fairbanks, Garden Valley,  
Hagginwood, Kohler, Larchmont, Johnson, Morey, Noralto, North Avenue, Smythe and Village,
Secondary: Foothill Farms, Rio Tierra, MLK, Rio Linda Prep, Foothill High, and
Grant High

SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES (SES):
SES information and applications will be sent home to TRUSD parents in September after official AYP data has been released by the State.

Students from low-income families who are enrolled at the above listed
program improvement schools are eligible for SES at no cost to the parent.

The per pupil allotment set by the CA Department of Education for TRUSD will be approximately $1,280.00.  To meet the requirement of No Child Left Behind, the district will set aside 20% of its Title 1 funds.  Participation in the SES program, based on previous enrollment, will be in excess of that amount.  Twin Rivers Unified School District is dedicated to monitoring the SES program so that students receive high quality, research-based instruction specifically designed to increase student academic achievement.
