Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions of participants in a three-day invitational symposium for representatives of the 21 California high schools which were most successful in sending Black and Hispanic students to the University of California and the California State University are compiled in this document. The publication addresses two major goals of the California Education Summit: (1) to increase the percentage of students entering high school who enroll in and earn bachelor's degrees from four-year colleges; and (2) to make it possible for all segments of the school population to achieve at a higher level. The document begins with a listing of essential principles for high schools: make the school accountable; build an academic school culture; make access to college preparatory classes a reality; provide professional support for staff; include parents as an essential part of the process; provide coordinated student support services; attend to articulation; and make information about colleges available. For each principle implementation suggestions are provided. A further chapter addresses how district and institutions of higher education can support schools' efforts. Appendices provide lists of resources for districts developing college preparatory programs, participants in the symposium, and members of the Advisory Committee on College Preparation of Underrepresented Students.

Download or read book The California CBO written by Irma Guzmán Wagner and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a survey designed to provide descriptions of chief business officials (CBOs): their personal characteristics, their career paths, and their preparation. All chief business officials in California K-12 school districts and in offices of county superintendents of schools received questionnaires regarding the CBO position; 662 responses were returned. With regard to personal characteristics, the findings revealed that the CBO in California school districts is a white male, around 45 to 50 years of age, with an expected retirement date of 1998. His yearly salary is about $50,000, and the position he holds is classified rather than certificated. Thirty-seven percent had prior outside experience in business, the military, or civil service. The CBO depended upon personal contacts for advancement. In relation to career paths and preparation, most CBOs had a master's degree. They concurred that budget preparation was the principal skill needed. The CBOs expressed satisfaction with their jobs but were most concerned about the need for a balance between required tasks and allocated resources. Another concern was that the position be advanced in terms of professional understanding and recognition. (JAM)
