District information
District Profile
Santa Paula Unified District is located in the city of Santa Paula, a small historical community serving
approximately 30,000 residents within a 4.6 square-mile radius surrounded by rolling hills and citrus groves.
Santa Paula City is approximately 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 14 miles east of Ventura. Santa Paula
is situated in the rich agricultural Santa Clara River Valley. The City is surrounded by rolling hills and rugged
mountain peaks in addition to orange, lemon and avocado groves. In fact, Santa Paula is referred to as the
“Citrus Capital of the World.” The community of Santa Paula was founded in 1872. Originally the area that is
today Santa Paula was inhabited by the Chumash, a Native American people.
Santa Paula Unified operates six elementary schools, one middle school, one comprehensive high school, and
one continuation high school. Santa Paula Unified School District has a large Latino and English Learner
population that has made tremendous improvements in student achievement in the past few years. We are proud
of the accomplishments of our students, teachers, staff, parents and the community that has made that
achievement possible.
In November of 2012, the community of Santa Paula voted to unify Santa Paula Union High School District
(SPUHSD) and Santa Paula Elementary School District (SPESD). This unification became effective July 1, 2013.
The Santa Paula Unified School District is the first district to unify in Ventura County since 1980. The unification
of SPUHSD and SPESD will allow for coherent professional learning opportunities and collaboration for all staff K12. The unified school district and community stakeholders are working together to ensure that all students in the
Santa Paula Unified School District are prepared to succeed in college and career.

sense of community as each develops his or her unique potential and talents.

The pursuit of education is a shared responsibility that begins at home and continues with the guidance
st
and support of parent, school, and community mentors. It takes the whole “village” to raise a 21 Century
child.

Our common vision comes from diverse perspectives. By working together for the future of our children,
the district and the community of Santa Paula can enable our young people to reach their greatest
st
potential as individuals and as citizens of a 21 Century world.
District Vision:
The Santa Paula Unified School District will provide a learning environment that includes high expectations,
accountability, exemplary programs, innovative teaching, stimulating ideas, and safe, well equipped schools to
inspire and empower our students to discover their interests, achieve at their greatest potential, contribute to civic
progress, and become life-long learners.
District Mission:
The Santa Paula Unified School District will prepare each student academically and socially for college, career,
and global citizenship by providing rich, diverse experiences and differentiated learning opportunities , a highly
skilled and dedicated educational team, and safe, attractive schools.

Highly Qualified Teachers
During the 2012-13 school year, 100% of Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School’s classes were taught by highly
qualified teachers.
The Santa Paula Unified School District and its governing board “desires to employ the most highly qualified and
appropriate person available for each open position in order to improve student achievement and efficiency in
district operations. The Superintendent or designee shall recruit candidates for open positions based on an
assessment of the district's needs for specific skills, knowledge and abilities.
Santa Paula Unified School District is not considered a high-need district in regards to acquisition of high quality,
highly-qualified teachers; therefore its schools do not qualify as “high-need” schools. A “high need local
educational agency” is defined (NCLB, Public Law 107–110) as:


that serves not fewer than 10,000 children from families with incomes below the poverty line; or ‘‘(ii)
for which not less than 20 percent of the children served by the agency are from families with
incomes below the poverty line;
and
for which there is a high percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels
that the teachers were trained to teach; or ‘‘(ii) for which there is a high percentage of teachers with
emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or licensing.
Based upon the most current data available (2010 U.S. Census Bureau), the district’s estimated percentage of
student population of children ages 5-17 living in poverty is 21.4%. However, there are currently no teachers
working out of field, on an emergency provision, or temporary certification or licensing.
The Santa Paula Unified School District’s Human Resources Division is responsible, in partnership with Thelma
B. Bedell Elementary School’s administrative team, for recruiting and placing qualified teachers in the classroom.
To date, the district only employs highly qualified teachers to fill vacant teaching positions. When a vacancy
exists, teaching positions are posted on EdJoin.org. All applicants must have the following to apply:





Valid California Credential (with authorization to teach in applicable area)
Resume
Two Letters of Recommendation
English Learner Authorization/CLAD Certificate
NCLB compliant

Thelma B. Bedell Elementary School completed a comprehensive needs assessment survey of all students
enrolled, including migratory students, which included the analysis of student performance in relation to the state
academic content standards. During staff development activities and staff meetings, school administrators and
the leadership team considered the results of the following to identify areas of strength and weakness:

also unable to meet the AYP using the Safe Harbor criteria.
Identify targeted student groups and expected growth:
Our focus is all student groups (subgroups) and grades second through fifth. The goal for anticipated annual
nd th
growth among 2 -5 grade students scoring at a level of proficient or above is 15%. The percentage goal for
ELL students in grades 2-5 scoring proficient or above in ELA will increase by 10%.
What data will be collected to measure student achievement?

support for all students that are not making progress toward proficiency. Tier 3 support will be offered for
identified students initially through RSP with additional services pending budget update. The Bedell staff will
continue to improve ELD strategies for English Language Learners during a dedicated ELD period.

Goal #4: Develop a Positive School Climate – Together the Bedell staff, parents, students, and community will
work to create an environment where all students have an equal opportunity to reach their highest potential. The
Bedell staff will create a Professional learning Community that uses the most current materials and practices and
assessments to provide the most effective learning program. All school staff members will use school-wide and
classroom positive behavioral support (PBS) to help students achieve important social and learning outcomes.
Describe how this goal aligns to the district’s LEA Plan goals:
SPESD’s plan states that it will develop or adopt a district-wide positive behavior plan that includes a
consistently enforced dress code and anti-bullying program.
What data was used to form this goal:
 CST results for Language Arts, Math, and Science
 Formative assessment results from 2012-13 school year
 Summative – Trimester benchmark assessments
 Office referrals for student and parent behavior concerns
 Parent Permission Slips for Counseling Services
 Parent Volunteer Questionnaire
Individuals Involved in analyzing data and formulating goal:
 Students
 Teachers and Support Staff
 Parents
 Site Leadership Team
 School Site Council Members
 School Counselor
What did the analysis of the data reveal that led to this goal:
Changes in the process for suspensions for disruption in the classroom make it difficult to compare data from
one year to the next. Neither the Health Kids Survey nor parent surveys were administered during the 2012-13
school year however antidotal information from parent comments, School Site Council and Parent Group
meetings would suggest that even though some positive progress has been made in the learning environment
additional activities and opportunities need to be implemented to improve participation by parents and family in
the education process.
Identify targeted student groups and expected growth:
All Bedell students will be included. We should see a decrease number of office referrals for incidents of
classroom disruption and bullying. Additionally, would expect an increase in the perception of safety in the
school environment as reported by parent and student surveys. Students that received counseling services
showed improvement in performance and a decrease in disruptive behavior that required a referral to the office.
What data will be collected to measure student achievement?
 CST scores
 Trimester data
 Behavior referral data
 Healthy Kids Survey
 Report data from school psychologist, counselor, and staff
Identify the process for monitoring and evaluating collected data:



Describe the actions to improve achievement to exit program improvement (if applicable):
Bedell School staff will continue to implement strategies and activities that promote a positive school climate.
Additional professional development sessions will be scheduled to support the implementation of Positive
Behavior and Intervention methods both in and out of the classroom. Additional meetings will be scheduled
throughout the year to increase parent participation in the educational process. A base line survey will be
administered during the 2013-14 school year. Regular and consistent use of the behavior module in the district
data base will allow for more accurate analysis behavior concerns. This data can then be used to direct the
funding for support programs.

Teacher Mentoring Programs
The district offers two distinct programs to support professional growth and improve instruction in the classroom.
The Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program offers support and assistance to newly
