will take in improving student achievement and to raise the District's accreditation rating. Currently, the District has a State accreditation score of 7 on a 14 point scale. If a district has a score of 0-6 points in the year of the State review it will be deemed unaccredited. If a district has a score of 7-9 in the year of the State review it will be provisionally accredited. Districts with scores between10-14 are accredited. The State's accreditation process is tied to the five major goals relating to student academic performance; the retention of highly qualified staff; facilities and instructional resources; parental and community involvement; and district governance. The District is also in the process of selecting a community engagement firm to begin outreach into the community for input into the CSIP. Additional public sessions will be held to gain additional community participation, even if you are not parents of school-aged children who attend public schools. As reflected in Second Century Commission's Report how the public school district performs is critical for the success of our city. For more information on the CSIP process visit the District's website at www.ucityschool.org or cal 1290-4076. Upcoming weekend fun in U-City: • Gear up for Labor Day in University City.
