Schools Ranked in Deciles 1-3 (2006 Base API)
Certain provisions of the Williams settlement legislation (for example, the provisions regarding funding for emergency facilities repairs and annual county superintendent visits and reviews) apply to schools ranked in deciles one, two, and three as determined by the 2006 API Base. See Education Code Section 1240(c)(2)(B)-(D). Deciles are a state ranking of schools rated one through ten. The following links will help you identify which schools are monitored annually under the Williams settlement. The California Department of Education is also providing related links and legal documents involved in the case. Please note that more information will be added to these Web pages as it becomes available:

Schools Subject to Monitoring (XLS;
394KB; 86pp.; 25-May-2007)
County superintendents must monitor decile 1-3 schools for: (1) sufficiency of instructional materials; (2) facilities deficiencies;(3) accuracy of data reported on the School Accountability Record Card (SARC) related to sufficiency of materials and facilities deficiencies; and (4) teacher misassignments and teacher vacancies. See EC §1240 (c)(2).
California EC Section 1240(i)(3)(A) exempts schools “under review” from the annual monitoring visit of county offices for textbook sufficiency review. Title 5 regulations, Chapter 17, Subchapter 1, Article 1, 17101, defines schools “under review” as schools that are undergoing interventions pursuant to sections 52055.55(b)(2), 52055.51, or 52055.650(e) of the EC. This includes schools participating in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program and the High Priority Schools Grant Program that failed to make Significant Growth as defined by the terms of their program and became state-monitored.
Sufficiency of textbooks in a school assigned a School Assistance and Intervention Team (SAIT) is determined by their approved SAIT Provider. The approved SAIT Provider is responsible for documenting the sufficiency of instructional materials and communicating the school's sufficiency status to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction as part of their Report of Findings and Progress Reports and notifying the resident county office of education upon exit from state monitoring.
The other three requirements of the Williams case are reviewed by the state-monitored school’s resident county office.
