Principal’s Message
At the Reagan Educational Center, Clovis East High School and Reyburn Intermediate take pride in
meeting the needs of ALL students and preparing them in the areas of career and college post-graduation. Our core values and beliefs are based off the school district motto of “Be the Best You Can in
Mind, Body, and Spirit.” The success of our students is evident in the accolades and awards our schools
have received in the past from National Blue Ribbon, California State Distinguished, Schools to Watch,
California Business for Educational Excellence, and WASC.
One of our yearly goals is to have a strong line of communication with our families and to get parents
involved at the site. This will allow our families to work closely with the school as we both support academic, cocurricular, and athletic programs. This will be done a variety of ways: Timberline, Parent Connect, newsletters, phone conversations, email, Web pages, and parent committees in which we hope
all of you will become involved. The Timberwolf Foundation (look for our REC Foundation Membership
application), School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), School Assessment Review Team (SART), and a variety of Booster Clubs are some of the many avenues available for
parent involvement.

We look forward to another great school year and anticipate working with the staff, students, parents,
and community of this exemplary school. The staff is committed to go above and beyond to ensure academic success; the student body is committed to being accessible to learning and displaying the Pillars
of Character at all times. We want to challenge all of our students to become involved in every aspect of
the school, have pride in being a part of the Wolf Pack, and embrace the spirit of our school. The Reagan Educational Center is a special place, and we will continue to work together as one cohesive family.
Thank you to all of our Timberwolf families for making the REC such an amazing place to work.

Parental Involvement
Reyburn encourages parents to become active participants in their student’s education through participation in one or more of our many parent committees. The Timberwolf Foundation is our major fundraising organization and always encourages parent involvement. The SART reviews school programs and
conducts an annual survey to assess how well the school is meeting the needs of students and parents.
Other parent committees include:
• SSC
• Hispanic Parent Outreach
• Hmong Community Outreach
• African American Parent Network
• ELAC
• Intercultural and Diversity Advisory Council (IDAC)
• Student Study Team
Parents are kept informed of school events through the quarterly school newspaper, The Timberline,
and via the Reyburn school website. Ongoing orientations are conducted throughout the year to keep
parents and students informed. Please contact Melanie Allen, Office Manager, at (559) 327-4071 or
[email protected] for further details on how to offer your time at Reyburn.

Richard Lake, C. P. A., Member
Reyburn has a well-lit facility. Six years ago, 16 surveillance cameras were added. Seven administrators,
campus monitors, one community liaison, one police officer, and six teachers are assigned supervision
duty before, after, and during school hours.
The School Safety Plan is updated annually during the first faculty meeting in August and is shared with
staff and community members. Most recently, the plan was updated in January 2014. Monthly drills and
debriefings are conducted regarding the steps to take in the event of a lockdown, evacuation, earthquake, fire, or any other hazardous situation. The staff is trained regarding each type of emergency, and
a flip chart is kept in a handy location for referral.

California Assessment of
Student Performance and
Progress/Standardized Testing
and Reporting Results
Beginning in the 2013-14 school year,
the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program was eliminated
and replaced by a new set of assessments called the California Assessment
of Student Performance and Progress
(CAASPP).
Because of the state’s adoption of the
Common Core State Standards and
implementation of a new student-testing
system, limited data is available to report
in the SARC.
For the 2013-14 school year, the CAASPP
included the Smarter Balanced Assessments, alternate, science, and other
optional assessments.
In the spring of 2014, California began
field-testing the Smarter Balanced
Assessments in English language arts
and mathematics. These tests were not
officially scored, so there is no data to
report.
The science assessments of CAASPP
included the California Standards Test
(CST), California Modified Assessment
(CMA) and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), similar to the
STAR Program. Therefore it is acceptable
to make comparisons to previous year
results.
The CST is a multiple-choice test in science for varying grade levels. The CMA
is a modified assessment for students
with disabilities who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The CAPA is
an alternate assessment for students with
significant cognitive disabilities who are
unable to take the CST with accommodations or modifications, or the CMA with
accommodations.
For more information on the
CAASPP assessments, please visit

API Ranks
Schools are ranked in 10 categories of equal size, called
deciles, from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) based on their
API Base reports. A school’s “statewide API rank” compares its API to the APIs of all other schools statewide
of the same type (elementary, middle or high school).
A “similar schools API rank” reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched similar schools. This
table shows the school’s three-year data for statewide
API rank and similar schools’ API rank.
API Ranks
Academic Performance Index
The Academic Performance Index (API) is a numeric rating system that reflects a school
and district’s performance level based on the results of annual statewide student assessments. It is used to measure the academic performance and progress of the schools within
California. Individual outcomes are converted to points on the API scale and then averaged
across all students and all tests, resulting in a single number, or API score, measured on
a scale from 200 to 1,000. This score reflects the school, district or a student group’s performance level based on the results of statewide testing. The state has set an API score of
800 as the statewide target.
2011
2012
2013
With a complete change of the K-12 education system, the State Board of Education temporarily suspended API. No API scores or ranks will be calculated for the next two years, as
California continues the transition to the new Common Core State Standards and California
Assessment of Student Performance and Progress.

Adequate Yearly Progress
Types of Services Funded
“Children Are Our Most Precious Resource”
On an annual basis, Clovis Unified
School District submits the Application
for Funding Consolidated Categorical
Aid Programs commonly called the Con
Ap. The application is submitted in two
parts: Part I, which contains program and
demographic information, is submitted by
June 1 each year; Part II, which contains
the budget information and additional
program data, is submitted by January
31 each year. The categorical programs
included in the application are Title I, Part
A – (Improving the Academic Achievement
of the Disadvantaged Improving, Title I,
Part C – Migrant Education, Title II, Part
A – Preparing, Training, and Recruiting
High Quality Teachers and Principals,
and Title III – Language Instruction for
Limited English Proficient and Immigrant
Students. Essentially, these funds are
designed to assist students in mastering
state standards.
The 2013–14 California Department
of Education (CDE) budget package
replaces the previous K–12 finance
system with a new Local Control Funding
Formula (LCFF). For school districts and
charter schools, the LCFF creates base,
supplemental, and concentration grants
in place of most previously existing K–12
funding streams, including revenue limits
and most state categorical programs. For
county offices of education (COEs), the
LCFF creates separate funding streams
for oversight activities and instructional
programs.
The goal of the LCFF is to significantly
simplify how state funding is provided to
local educational agencies (LEAs). Under
the new funding system, revenue limits
and most state categorical programs
are eliminated. LEAs will receive funding based on the demographic profile of
the students they serve and gain greater
flexibility to use these funds to improve
outcomes of students. The LCFF creates
funding targets based on these student
characteristics.
The Local Control Accountability Plan
(LCAP) is an important component of
the LCFF. Under the LCFF all districts
are required to prepare an LCAP, which
describes how they intend to meet annual
goals for all pupils, with specific activities
to address state and local priorities identified pursuant to EC Section 52060(d).
Each school district must engage parents,
educators, employees and the community
to establish these plans. Parental and
community engagement of all stakeholders is critical to the development of the
district LCAP. CUSD continues to work
with all stakeholder groups in holding various district and school committee meeting
and forums designed to gather information
on various specific areas of importance.
Continued on page 7
The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires all schools and districts meet
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements. Because California is changing the assessments and
the accountability system it uses to evaluate school performance, the U.S. Department of Education has
approved a waiver to allow California not to make Adequate Yearly Progress determinations for elementary and middle schools. They will receive the same AYP determinations as in 2013.
High schools will not be affected by this waiver and will continue to receive AYP determinations because
they are based on California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) results and graduation rates.

Federal Intervention Program
Schools and districts receiving Title I funding that fail to meet AYP over two consecutive years in the
same content area (English language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate) enter into Program Improvement (PI). Each additional year that the district or school(s) do not
meet AYP results in advancement to the next level of intervention. The percent of schools identified for
Program Improvement is calculated by taking the number of schools currently in PI within the district and
dividing it by the total number of Title I schools within the district.
Due to the waiver that allows California to use the same AYP determinations as 2013, no new schools
will enter or exit Program Improvement, and current PI schools will not advance a year in their PI status.
This table displays the 2014-15 PI status for the school and district. For detailed information about PI
identification, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

grades three through eight participated in the Smarter Balanced Field Test during the 2013–14 academic year, the U.S.
Department of Education approved a determination waiver for California which exempts elementary schools, middle
schools, elementary school districts, and unified school districts from receiving a 2014 AYP Report.

District Mission Statement
The plans will describe the school district’s overall vision for students, annual goals and specific actions
the district will take to achieve the vision and goals.
To be a quality educational system providing the resources for all students to reach
their potential in mind, body, and spirit.
The LCAPs must focus on eight areas identified as state priorities. District plans will also demonstrate
how the district’s budget will help achieve the goals, and assess each year how well the strategies in
the plan were able to improve outcomes.
Clovis Unified Schools are committed to establishing a true partnership with all facets of the Clovis
Learning Community. CUSD values feedback and input. Parents continue to make positive differences
in the lives of the children we all support. We know from research that participation in your child’s education will not only bring success to your child but other children in the school. Our parents truly make a
difference in the lives of Clovis kids!
CUSD is proud and pleased to offer a variety of parent involvement opportunities that improve our
overall program. Depending on the type of categorical funding a site may receive, District or school
parent councils and committees are required under certain requirements and guidelines. Such advisory
committees in the CUSD include the following:
• School Site Council (SSC)
• English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
• District Advisory Committee (DAC) and School Advisory
Committee (SAC)
• District Advisory Committee (DAC)
• District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC)
• District Migrant Education Parent Advisory Committee (DMEPAC)

School Mission Statement
We encourage all parents and guardians to become involved with their child’s education, at the classroom level, the school wide level, as well as the District level. Each school’s Single Plan for Student
Achievement (SPSA) describes the school’s basic educational program and the categorical supplementary programs/services that are designed to support student achievement of each and every student. Parental involvement is a necessary and vital part of developing the SPSA as well as our overall
program. At the District level parent committees provide input into each site’s SPSA and to the District’s
Local Education Agency Plan (LEAP). If you would like additional information on any of the District Parent Council or Committee, please call your child’s school. The principal, learning director, or guidance
instructional specialist (GIS) would be happy to assist you. You could also visit www.cusd.com/specialprojects. These two school committees meet on a quarterly basis. The committees are comprised of
administration, staff, and parents. Students are also involved at the intermediate and secondary level.
Listed below are several parent committees that assist with categorical programs and funding. For more
information, please call your school or go to: www.cusd.com/specialprojects.
The mission of the Reagan Educational
Center is to graduate students who possess the background knowledge, academic skills, and technological expertise
that they will need to become lifelong
learners, productive workers, and civicminded community members. The REC
also believes that participation in school
activities builds stronger relationships,
improves self-esteem, and develops the
skills students need to prepare them to
meet future challenges in college and the
workforce.
School Site Council (SSC): All schools receiving categorical funds are required to form an SSC. The
SSC is composed of parents, students at the secondary level, and school personnel, and is responsible
for developing, implementing and evaluating the SPSA programs. Members serve for two years and are
elected by their peers.
District Advisory Committee (DAC)/School Advisory Committee (SAC): If a district uses Economic
Impact Aid (EIA) funds for State Compensatory Education programs, as Clovis does, it is required to
have both a SAC and a DAC. The SAC and DAC are advisory committees for the purpose of advising
schools and the District regarding compensatory education programs. The SSC has approved to designate our SSC pursuant to California Education Code Section 52852 to function as the SAC. English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC): All schools enrolling 21 or more English Learners
are required to form an ELAC. The ELAC is composed of parents and school personnel.
The ELAC provides input and makes recommendations to the principal, staff, and SSC regarding services for English Learners as well as conducts an annual survey. Members serve for two years.
District English Language Advisory Committee (DELAC): Whenever there are 51 or more EL students in the District, there shall be a functioning DELAC. It is important that each school site ELAC
elect a DELAC representative and arrange to have that representative attend every DELAC meeting.
Currently the DELAC bylaws require each DELAC representative to be 1) a parent/guardian of an EL
or former EL (i.e., a reclassified fluent English-proficient student) currently enrolled at the site he/she
represents, and 2) elected to serve as the DELAC representative by the site ELAC.
The following is an overview of the categorical funding and programs in CUSD. These funds are further
discussed and outlined in each school’s SPSA and at the committee meetings.
Rationale: General District funds provide support for the District’s base/core curriculum program. Some
children have special characteristics, not reflective of the general school population, that affect their
success in the base/core programs.

Types of Services Funded
Continued from page 7
Some come from economically disadvantaged homes. Some are educationally disadvantaged or lack
English-language proficiency because they have a primary language other than English. Children, such
as those described above, require supplemental services and materials not generally provided through
the base/core curriculum program. The needs of our children are identified and supplemental services
and materials are planned and targeted to meet their special needs. Categorical funds are to be used to
provide the financial support to meet these special needs.
Philosophy: All CUSD schools offer students with special needs the same kind of high-quality learning
opportunities and access to the core curriculum in all curricular areas. Categorical funds are designed
to support additional assistance to help students succeed in the regular classroom program (base/core
curriculum) and address any learning gaps. The focus is on the effective utilization of supplementary
materials, personnel, and staff development. Staff development activities are used to improve instructional practices and strategies to increase the ability of teachers and other staff to challenge and assist
all students to reach their fullest potential.
Categorical Program Descriptions
1. After School Safety and Education Funds (ASES) - This state funded and administered program
provides three year grant funding to establish or expand after school programs that provide students with academic support and intervention, enrichment opportunities and supportive services
to help the students meet state and local standards in core content areas. The purpose of the
ASES program is to create additional educational and recreational opportunities for students
within the learning community while providing a safe environment for students. The goals of this
program are to: 1) improve academic achievement, and 2) provide enrichment opportunities that
reinforce and complement the academic program.
California Physical
Fitness Test
2. Title I, Part A (Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged) - A federal-funded
program to provide high-quality opportunities for students in high-poverty schools to meet district
and state content and performance standards.
Each spring, all students in grades
5, 7 and 9 are required to participate in
the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT).
The Fitnessgram® is the designated PFT
for students in California public schools
put forth by the State Board of Education.
The PFT measures six key fitness areas:
3. Title I, Part A, Title X, Part C, Education for Homeless Children and Youths: Title I, Part A funds to
provide comparable services to homeless children that assist them to effectively take advantage
of educational opportunities as provided to children in schools funded under Title I, Part A. These
comparable services shall be provided to homeless children in public and private schools, shelters and other locations where children may live, institutions for neglected children and, where
appropriate, local institutions such as local community day school programs. This reservation
requirement is not formula driven.
1. Aerobic Capacity
4. Title I, Part C (Migrant Education Program) - A federal-funded program focused on providing services for migratory students and their families.
2. Body Composition
3. Flexibility
4. Abdominal Strength
and Endurance
5. Title I, Part D: Local Delinquent Programs - A funded program that serve students who are neglected, delinquent, or at-risk; including programs involving collaboration with locally operated
correctional facilities.
5. Upper Body Strength
and Endurance
6. Title II, Part A (Preparing, Training and Recruiting High Quality Teachers and Principals) - A federal-funded program focused on teacher and principal training and recruitment programs.
6. Trunk Extensor Strength
and Flexibility
Encouraging and assisting students in
establishing lifelong habits of regular
physical activity is the primary goal
of the Fitnessgram®. The table shows
the percentage of students meeting
the fitness standards of being in the
“healthy fitness zone” for the most recent
testing period. For more detailed information on the California PFT, please visit

State standards required of all other students.
8. Title VII (Indian Education Formula Grant) - A federal-funded program focused on helping Native
American/Alaskan Native students meet the same challenging State standards required of all
other students.
The goal of the CUSD staff is to create and maintain the best educational environment possible. This
can be accomplished with your support and input. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to
become more involved in the educational process at your school, please contact your school principal.
Your school can assist you in learning more about categorical programs. You may want to become involved in your school’s School Site Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC), and/
or attend the Annual Title I Parent Meeting. During the fall each school will send additional Information
about these activities. At the district level, we encourage you to become involved with our DELAC. We
encourage and look forward to your involvement in the programs we offer our learning community.
If you have any questions, please call your child’s school or the CUSD Department of Special Projects
at (559) 327-9086, additional information may be found at www.cusd.com/specialprojects.

The district focused all professional
development activities around five identified needs: First Time Best Instruction,
Mastery Learning, Professional Learning
Communities, Transitioning to the Common Core, and Systematic Interventions.
In the 2014-2015 school year, we dedicated two additional days for professional
development. This brings a total of five
professional development days for our
certificated staff. Due to state budget
cuts and the addition of “furlough” days,
in 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13, all
professional development opportunities
for CUSD staff have been moved to before
and after the school year, after school,
early dismissal days, within the school
day, and on weekends. These additional
days will assist with the continued transition of Common Core State Standards.

Clovis Unified School District sets a high priority upon ensuring there are sufficient textbooks and materials to support the district’s instructional program. CUSD Board Policy Number 3301 establishes criteria
and procedures for the adoption of all textbooks. All K-8 textbooks purchased have been approved by
the State Board of Education. Textbooks and instructional materials purchased for grades 9-12 are
aligned to the State content standards and adopted by the Clovis Unified Governing Board.
The Department of Special Projects continues to support the school sites with funding that allows for
the purchase of supplementary instructional material for our students, including English Learners in
grades K-12. The supplemental material is designed to accelerate pupils as rapidly as possible toward
grade-level proficiency in the core subjects of English-language arts, math, social science, and science.
These supplemental materials are used in addition to the basic reading/language arts and other core
materials provided for every student and are correlated to state content standards.
