Background
Senate Bill 98, approved by Governor Newsom on 6.29.20, made several key changes to accountability requirements for 2020-21. These include the establishment of a new requirement – The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan – that must be adopted by 9.30.20.
The contents of WSD’s Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan are aligned to the information in the district’s Opening Schools Plan. These plans are cited throughout the document and can be viewed in full on the Opening Schools & Safety Plan page.
The Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan memorializes the ongoing planning process for the 2020-21 school year. It includes some items that are pending, still in development, and/or being discussed in negotiations with bargaining groups. The plan includes descriptions of how the district is doing the following:
- Addressing gaps in learning
- Conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement
- Maintaining transparency
- Addressing the needs of unduplicated pupils, students with unique needs, and students experiencing homelessness
- Providing access to necessary devices and connectivity for distance learning
