LCAP Meeting for College Park Feeder Pattern

 

Mt. Diablo USD Superintendent Dr. Nellie Meyer and members of MDUSD staff visited College Park High School on April 3 to gather input from our community regarding our feeder pattern needs and how the district can financially support them. Attendance was strong and discussions were productive.

 

This event was part of a district-wide effort to solicit community input as the district prepares its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) required under the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). LCFF is the state law that shifts decision making on K-12 spending from the Legislature to local districts. A written and video synopsis has been posted on the College Park website at http://cphs.mdusd.org/

 

If you were unable to attend the meeting, but would like to offer your input, please contact the district at lcap@mdusd.org

 


Parents of 6-12th Graders Learn about Common Core
 


What will Common Core State Standards look like in the classroom? Dozens of local parents and community members learned about these changes on March 25 when the Pleasant Hill Education Commission and the Pleasant Hill Library co-hosted a free event focused on grades 6-12.

 

 College Park math teacher Kathleen Strange gives a geometry lesson.

 

Local teachers taught 15-minute mini-lessons, demonstrating the types of Common Core activities and lessons that students will be doing within the four core academic disciplines: English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

 

This event was a follow up to the successful K-5 Common Core night held in February. (Click here to see the video:)

 

 

College Park Dominates Math League


Once again College Park High School took first place in the region in the annual Math League competition. Students in each league compete for the highest scores, while schools compete for the highest team score. The total of the top five scores in each school are tallied to obtain the winning school. Congratulations, College Park!
