The Honorable John Gioia
1s'Supervisorial District
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
11780 San Pablo Ave., Ste. D
El Cerrito, CA 94530
Dear Mr. Gioia:
Enclosed is the annual report on the schools identified in the Williams Settlement within Contra
Costa County for fiscal year 2008-09. The Contra Costa County Office of Education collected
documentation from 55 schools in Contra Costa County representing five school districts:
• Antioch Unified School District
• John Swett Unified School District
• Mt. Diablo Unified School District
• Pittsburg Unified School District
• West Contra Costa Unified School District
California Education Code section 1240(c)(2)(B) requires that schools identified in the Williams
Settlement in our county be visited within the first four weeks of school, that noted areas be
reviewed, and that a report be submitted to you and your governing board for inclusion at a regularly
scheduled November board meeting. It is the legal obligation of the Contra Costa County
Superintendent of Schools to provide this information to the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors.
The Williams Case was a class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco County Superior Court in 2000
against the State of California and state education agencies including the California Department of
Education. The basis of the lawsuit was that the agencies failed to provide public school students
with equal access to instructional materials, safe and decent school facilities, and qualified teachers.
Governor Schwarzenegger settled the suit and subsequent legislation charges County
Superintendents of Schools with conducting audits of schools with Academic Performance Index
ratings in deciles 1, 2, and 3 according to data from 2006. The audit team has the responsibility of
meeting with school officials and reporting information. The intention is to identify areas of need
and to use the funds from the Williams Settlement to address these needs.
The enclosed report presents data from those visitations in Contra Costa County that took place in
Fall 2008.Teams from the Contra Costa County Office of Education visited classrooms in order to
count books and check the physical condition of the schools;in addition, the CCCOE reviewed
teacher credentials. Follow-up visits will be conducted in Fall 2009.
If you have any questions regarding the information in the report,please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely
ISurintenodent

Required Areas for Williams Review
California Education Code Section 1240 requires teams from the County Office of
Education to visit schools identified as Williams Schools, review information in the
areas noted below, and report to the District Board, the County Board of Education
and the County Board of Supervisors the results of those visits and reviews.
The purpose of the visit(s) as specified in California Education Code 1240 is to:
1. Determine if students have "sufficient" standards-aligned
instructional materials in four core subject areas (English language
arts, mathematics, history/social science and science),including
science laboratory equipment in grades 9-12, and, as appropriate,in
foreign languages,and health;
2. Determine if there is any facility condition that"poses an emergency
or urgent threat to the health or safety of pupils or staff"; and
3. Determine if the school has provided accurate data on the annual
school accountability report card related to the sufficiency of
instructional materials and the safety, cleanliness, and adequacy of
school facilities,including"good repair."
The law further requires that the Superintendent of Schools office annually monitor
and review teacher misassignments and teacher vacancies in schools ranked in deciles
1-3 (2006 Base API).
Following are some basic terms to understand the basis of the report:
• "Sufficient textbooks or instructional materials" means each pupil, including
English language learners, has a standards-aligned textbook, or instructional
materials, or both, adopted by the district's Board for use in class and at
home.
i
• A school facility condition that poses an "emergency or urgent threat"is a
"condition that poses a threat to the health or safety of pupils or staff while
at school."
• "Good Repair" means the school facilities are clean, safe and functional as
determined pursuant to the school facility inspection and evaluation
instrument developed by the Office of Public School Construction or a
local evaluation instrument that meets the same criteria. Each school district
that receives state funding for facilities maintenance is required to establish
a facilities inspection system to ensure that each of its schools is maintained
in "good repair."
