Opportunities for Parental Involvement
This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.
 
 Liberty has a work experience program for students working full or part time during the school year. Each year approximately 60 work permits are issued to Liberty students working in the community. These employers provide valuable work experience for students during the school year. In addition, students may receive job training services through the Private Industry Council (PIC). PIC provides up to 500 hours of job training at each site and pays the salary of the student with the understanding the student will be hired on after their training period. Liberty has a School Site Council which provides feedback on needed changes in curriculum and instructional practices. Community organizations such as Rotary and Kiwanis have donated time and money for school projects. The majority of our community view Liberty High School as a viable alternative to a comprehensive high school for students whose educational needs are not being achieved at the traditional comprehensive high school.

II. School Climate

School Safety Plan
This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan.
 Safe School and Emergency Response Plans are on file at our school and the district office. Plans are regularly reviewed, and staff is trained annually. Evacuation drills are held on an ongoing basis, and staff members using dangerous chemicals also receive training.

There are four key elements of a safe school plan:

• Safe schools are caring schools. Students in safe schools feel respected and know that the people care about them and expect them to succeed.
• Safe schools are built through the cooperative effort of parents, students, staff and community members.
• Safe schools communicate high standards. Students know that learning and achievement is encouraged and highly valued.
• Safe schools are prepared. Ongoing training opportunities allow students and staff to increase their opportunity to deal with conflict, anger and other threats to safety. Safe schools have security checks on a regular basis to identify potential physical hazards or the school’s vulnerability to crime and vandalism.
 
 

School Discipline Practices
This section provides information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the school's use of disciplinary strategies.
 
 Gold and Silver Status
Students may earn Gold or Silver status every six weeks and receive free items from the Student Store. Teachers prepare breakfast for Gold and Silver students every six weeks. Reward Program/Student Award Assemblies Students may earn additional items through the Reward Program every six weeks. Student award assemblies are held every six weeks to recognize exemplary student behavior. All staff respond to student needs in a positive and sensitive manner.

Community of Caring Values
All staff model the Community of Caring values (caring, trust, respect, responsibility, and family) for students.
Some of the Program Highlights Liberty High School has to offer our students:
• A Community of Caring School
• California Model Continuation High School
• Highly qualified staff of experienced professionals
• Eight-period day with flexible scheduling
• Individualized instructional program
• Use of computers, videos, laser discs, and other technology for completing assignments
• Graduation credits for approved work experience
• Special counseling/advisory services
• Numerous recognitions and award activities
• Participation in county-wide softball tournament
• Full accreditation through 2002

Grades and Absences
Grades and absences are monitored to identify students who need extra help. Appropriate intervention can take place through student and parent counseling, trained volunteer advisors, guided support groups, group and individual education on substance abuse, child abuse issues, and parenting education.

School Discipline Plan
A written Tardy Policy is implemented every six weeks with incremental consequences for tardies to first period. The Attendance Policy requires students to make up any un-excused absences (partial or all day) by serving detention. The Liberty High School discipline plan contains a code of conduct, school mission and outcomes, attendance and tardy policy, and student behavior standards and consequences.
 

Suspensions and Expulsions

III. School Facilities

School Facility Conditions and Improvements
This section provides information about the condition of the school's grounds, buildings, and restrooms, and a description of any planned or recently completed facility improvements.
Our school is a modern continuation high school campus. A new building was constructed in 1991 and was specifically designed for a continuation high school program. Facilities include five regular classrooms, one computer lab, one home economics classroom, one science/art classroom and one administration facility, including a serving kitchen, teachers’ workroom and staff lounge. Liberty High School does not have any significant safety concerns. All classrooms open onto a large enclosed courtyard. This design allows easy supervision of students during breaks. All students enter and exit the courtyard through two double doors next to the school office. The courtyard and restrooms are clean and free of trash and graffiti. The classrooms are clean and orderly. Non-students are easily visible and are not allowed to loiter in the parking lot or on campus. Internal security procedures include engraved school equipment for identification and a building alarm set nightly in order to prevent theft and vandalism of school equipment. Crisis and natural emergency plan procedures are communicated to staff and students on a routine basis.

Liberty High School is maintained in "Good Repair"  throughout the school year.  District maintenance personnel maintain the school grounds both inside the courtyard and the softball field.  A daily part-time custodian keeps both the classrooms and restrooms clean and graffiti-free during the school year.

Our custodial staff, office staff, teaching staff, and students take great pride in our facilities which are maintained in a manner that assures students have a clean, safe and functional environment in which to learn.  Our facilities exceed the "Good Repair" standard of the Williams Act.

Substitute Teacher Availability
This section provides information about the availability of qualified substitute teachers and the impact of any difficulties in this area on the school's instructional program.
 The district has a pool of substitute teachers available for assignment when a classroom teacher is absent. By State law, credentialed teachers may substitute at any grade level and in any subject. We try to place substitute teachers in their area of expertise. On rare occasions when substitutes are unavailable, administrators and other properly credentialed staff are assigned to cover classes.
 
 

Teacher Evaluation Process
This section provides information about the procedures and the criteria for teacher evaluations.
Providing high quality instruction is crucial. Our teachers are recognized throughout the county for their knowledge and expertise. Our staff is fully credentialed to teach within their subject or specialty areas. More than thirty percent of our teaching staff holds education credentials of a master’s degree or above. To honor our outstanding teaching professionals, our elementary schools have been named after former educators in the community. Many of these educators continue to remain active volunteers at their "namesake" schools.

Teachers and administration collaborate through an established evaluation system. The principal formally evaluates tenured teachers every two years. Temporary and probationary teachers are evaluated yearly. All teachers are observed frequently. The evaluation may include instructional techniques, adherence to the curriculum, the learning and environments, and other assigned professional duties, as well as monitoring student progress. A formal evaluation includes teacher/administrator conferences, goal setting, classroom observations, and a written evaluation. If a teacher’s performance is not effective, the principal identifies areas requiring improvement and develops a program for improvements with the teacher. The principal is evaluated every year by a central office supervisors.

IX. Accountability

Academic Performance Index

The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/.

API Ranks -- Three-Year Comparison
This table displays the school's statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched "similar schools." A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school's academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school's academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

Adequate Yearly Progress
The federal NCLB act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria:
Detailed information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient results by student group, can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.

AYP Overall and by Criteria
This table displays an indication of whether the school and the district made AYP overall and whether the school and the district met each of the AYP criteria.

Federal Intervention Program
Schools and districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English-language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Detailed information about PI identification can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.

Completion of High School Graduation Requirements
Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, students in California public schools must pass both the English-language arts and mathematics portions of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) to receive a high school diploma. For students who began the 2005-06 school year in the 12th grade, this table displays by student group the percent of students who met all state and local graduation requirements for grade 12 completion, including having passed both portions of the CAHSEE or received a local waiver or state exemption. Due to the state's collection schedule for high school completion data, state level data for this reporting element will not be available for report cards published in the 2006-07 school year. Detailed information about the CAHSEE can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/hs/. Note: "N/A" means that the student group is not numerically significant.
