How are Dewey’s school-level plans decided?
Dewey Academy is an Oakland Unified continuation high school serving grades 11 and 12. Its current school plan was reviewed by the School Site Council before the district board approved it. That plan is the available public school-level record of its needs and proposed spending.
The School Site Council reviews the plan
The plan says the council reviewed progress, spending priorities, and its goals before recommending the revision.
The plan identifies a staffing capacity problem
The plan says the staff has been cut to a minimum while site demands continue to grow.
Administrator time is heavily used for discipline
The plan says administrators spend about 85% of their time on discipline issues, leaving less time to focus on instruction.
