The school serves 92 students
The February 2026 budget summary lists 92 Special Day Class students. Its demographic section lists 35 English Learners and 88 low-income students.
Most of the 2026-27 budget is for staffing
The budget summary lists $6,984,213 in total, including $5,256,054 for 45.79 budgeted staff positions. It is a budget publication, not a report of actual spending.
Families and staff shape the school plan
The 2026-27 plan records input through Coffee with the Principal, parent support groups, School Site Council, ELAC, and staff meetings. It describes those groups' priorities but does not publish their minutes.
The public plan shows priorities and proposed uses of TSP funds, not every decision or outcome at the school. It does not establish that a planned support has been delivered or that a parent request was adopted.
