4.0 Information Items 4.1 Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Mrs. Michele Corpuz Self-Study Visit, March 4 March 7, 2018 Accreditation status is conditioned upon a school s continued compliance with WASC policies, procedures, and criteria. SJVA will fund Visiting Committee expenses. SJVA has continued to meet WASC criteria and has achieved continuous WASC Accreditation. 4.2 International Baccalaureate Diploma Program Mr. Jonathan Harrison 2017 International Baccalaureate World Student Conference Update: Last recommendation was to support sending up to 8 student representatives to the IB WSC at King s College in London from Aug 6-12. However, due to high demand, the conference was overbooked and as a result we have been able to secure a maximum of 5 student participants. Recommendation: While there is definitely benefit to attending either conference, King s College and/or Rochester, New York, July 30 to Aug. 5, the recommendation is that primary support should be focused on attending the King s College conference due to the relevance of the conference theme, Well-being in a healthy world: personal responsibility and global health and international aspects of this conference aligning with SJVA IB development and implementation. If there is a desire to support sending additional students to IB WSC in Rochester, Defining and Defying Boundaries with focus on digital privacy, human migration, political participation, and the viral spread of disease, fundraising efforts and support can be increased. 4.4 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Update Mrs. Michele Corpuz The LCAP committee is currently working on the 2016-17 final annual update.
