JOINT STATEMENT

1

The Court scheduled this matter for a case management conference on April 9, 2013 and a

2
3

hearing on any budget issues on June 17, 2013. (Court Docket [CD] 1795.) Due to the continued

4

progress by Ravenswood City School District toward compliance targets, and ongoing

5

negotiations regarding the design of the California Department of Education’s (CDE) system for

6

monitoring the provision of special education services in the District, the parties respectfully

7

request the continuance of the case management conference to June 17, 2013.
Over the past few months, no significant issues concerning the Ravenswood City School

8
9

District’s (District) compliance with the Ravenswood Self-Improvement Plan (RSIP) have arisen.

10

As reflected in the Monitor’s 2011-2012 Benchmark Report, the District has made continued

11

improvements in achieving outstanding benchmarks. The parties are scheduled to discuss only

12

two issues, RSIP item 6.2.1(b) (concerning the use of interpreters for certain assessments) and

13

RSIP item 12.1.3 (concerning speech therapy services), at the next 4.5 meeting on April 8, 2013.
Since the Court’s November 26, 2012 order, the parties have met and conferred extensively

14
15

about plaintiffs’ challenges to CDE’s state-level system for ensuring the provision of a free

16

appropriate public education (FAPE) in the District. The parties have exchanged written

17

statements concerning the adequacy and efficacy of the system. To assist in the culmination of

18

the meet-and-confer process, the parties have agreed to continue to meet and confer, with further

19

submission of written statements, over the coming weeks.
In light of the parties’ continued progress toward termination of this action, the interests of

20
21

judicial efficiency will be served by rescheduling the case management conference to June 17,

22

2013.
