Geometry+Funding+eVote

School Site Council Members,
A need for an electronic vote has come up. SSC is being asked to allocate some QEIA funds to purchase textbooks for Geometry, the justification is listed below. My understanding is that the QEIA funds will be used to cover 50% of the total estimated costs.

Justification:
El Cajon Valley High School has been using the same Geometry book for the last 10 years. The book we are using covers the Geometry standards, but does not address the tests the students are expected to take. Our book has a copyright date of 1998. The California standards were adopted in 1997. The current state tests are based on a set of these standards, but the test blueprint was created in 2002. The book we use to cover this test was created before the test.

Due to the state budget, the district was unable to adopt a new book, which would have provided new books throughout the district. It is for this reason that I’m requesting the use of QEIA funds to provide new text books for our 10-12th grade Geometry classes. One of our five goals is to raise the scores on the Geometry state test and we feel our current book is not meeting our needs.

Budgets: 50% QEIA, 50% District funds Estimated total cost: $60K, may be less for 600 textbooks and teacher support materials.
