The Principal/teacher is on-site daily and in constant communication with the Assistant Superintendent for policy decisions and instructional support as needed. The program runs within the confines of a very security conscious building, but with complete cooperation of probation staff and the building superintendent, allowing students to be productive and successful in their educational endeavors.

School Description and Mission Statement 

This section provides information about the school’s goals and programs. 

Table Mountain School provides an educational program to all wards detained in Butte County Juvenile Hall, with the one exception of students who have graduated from their home district. The Superintendent of Butte County Office of Education (BCOE) is the legal agent for administering Table Mountain School. Educational programs are designed to meet the individual needs of all wards while they are detained. Our staff prepares students to meet graduation requirements, including state exams. All students are assessed for individual abilities and their previous school credit history. They are appropriately placed in the standards based curriculum that will help them attain their goals. The instruction focuses on the core curriculum and is monitored and altered to ensure the greatest success. 

Mission Statement

To provide a safe and optimal learning environment that meets the diverse needs, promotes the successful growth and ensures the maximum opportunity for each student to reach high standards of academic, career, technical, and social achievement.

Opportunities for Parental Involvement 

This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.  
Due to student confidentiality and an inability to identify parents by phone, parent involvement is very limited at Table Mountain School. Parent communication can be fulfilled through a third party and direct contact is limited to an in-person visit as approved by Probation and Juvenile Hall staff as needed. General concerns by parents of their student’s involvement in school have been very limited in the past, and on those occasions, the communication took a form that was satisfactory to all parties. Parents do have direct involvement when it involves an IEP meeting within the facility. Visits to the classroom have never been allowed and are not allowed at this time.

II. School Climate 

School Safety Plan 

This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan. 
The school safety plan is on site in a comprehensive manual including:  Safety Survey Checklists, Accident Reporting Forms, Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan, Hazardous Materials Communication program, Blood Borne Pathogens Plan/Infectious Diseases, Lock Out-Tag Plan, Hearing Conservation, Respiratory Protection Program, Ergonomics Information, and Comprehensive Safety Plan.  As new directives are received involving safety and emergency information they are reviewed by staff and placed in the binder.  Emergency preparedness plan and evacuation plans include procedures and contact phone numbers and are posted in each classroom.  The school safety plan was last discussed with staff and reviewed and updated in December, 2006

School Discipline Practices 

This section provides information about the school's efforts to create and maintain a positive learning environment, including the school’s use of disciplinary strategies. 
The school program includes in class and after school counseling that involves decision making, anger management, and other behavioral issues.  Although the school day emphasizes core English and math skills, and other required subjects, lessons often involve problem solving, role playing, and working in groups or partners.  We believe that we must also promote positive social interaction with peers and adults.  After school programs include Parent Education Network (PEN), Drug and Alcohol Counseling, Mediation, Rape Crisis Intervention (RCI), Catalyst, Northern Valley Catholic Social Service (NVCSS), and SIFE.  Tutoring is not a formal program but is offered by counseling staff when approached by students during after school hours.  A complete discipline policy is in our Parent/Student Handbook. When behaviors are repeated disruptions or outward defiance, there may be a need to discipline a student during after school hours, which is coordinated with the probation staff. These disciplines are described, recorded, and saved in both school and probation files.

Suspensions and Expulsions 

This table displays the rate of suspensions and expulsions (the total number of incidents divided by the total enrollment) at the school and district levels for the most recent three-year period. 

Note:  Table Mountain School is a Juvenile Hall school.  We do not suspend students.

III. School Facilities 

School Facility Conditions and Improvements 

This section provides information about the condition of the school’s grounds, buildings, and restrooms, and a description of any planned or recently completed facility improvements. 

Table Mountain School exists within the Butte County Juvenile Hall, a newly built facility that became occupied in November, 2003.  The building meets the California Code of Regulations for Title 24 for Juvenile Correctional Institutions. Inside the classroom all permanent fixtures such as bookcases, computer stations, student work stations and teacher work stations were installed and inspected by BCOE Maintenance in accordance with Ed Codes. Most building maintenance and problems are taken care of by Butte County Maintenance and Facilities through a work order process that is available for all parts of the building. 

The classrooms are separate from the living units., The door to the school room in each unit is locked after school hours.  Within each classroom there are locking cupboards and a locked storage closet.  Daily maintenance of Table Mountain School classrooms is carried out by the students of the school, emptying trash, vacuuming the carpets, and cleaning the white boards. The school is always clean and safe and is inspected on a regular basis by instructional staff and probation staff for any unseen maintenance or safety issues. The environment is very conducive for learning and provides ample space for variety of classroom projects. The classrooms have been equipped with state of the art technology opportunities for student and teacher resources. The facility provides both a gymnasium and outdoor field and court area for physical education classes. These areas are inspected daily by Juvenile Hall Counselors for any hazardous, safety or security issues.

Students who are wards in the building provide the daily clean up, maintenance, both in and out of the classroom using a reward system created by the probation staff.  For larger maintenance needs, both on the recreation field or in the classrooms, school staff follows our site work order procedure.  If there is damage to the building, it is simultaneously recorded as a Butte County Maintenance and Operation work order.  There are no restrooms within the school facility, but rather they are in the living units and individual rooms of the wards, and are not attended to by Butte County Office of Education (BCOE).  The two agencies have had a very successful cooperative relationship in attending any unforeseen maintenance issues.  Generally, our policy has been if it is inside the classroom, BCOE will respond.  If it is outside the classroom, Butte County Maintenance and Operations will respond.
