California Center for Effective Schools works closely with partner districts and schools to determine their needs and be responsive to the unique culture of their schools. The California Center for Effective Schools also collaborates with program consultants and Effective School Centers nationwide to advance program development and implementation.

Oxnard School District
In the Spring of 2000, Oxnard School District and the California Center for Effective Schools formed a partnership to implement the Effective School Process as one way to help the District achieve its newly adopted strategic plan.

The Oxnard School District is comprised of fifteen K-6 schools, three intermediate schools, and one opportunity school with a total enrollment of approximately 16,000 students. In addition, the district runs a state preschool program which reaches approximately an additional 300 students. The district has been growing by approximately 500 students per year.

The Oxnard district operates its schools year-round in four tracks and has the distinction of being the first district in the nation to provide year-round schooling to students. Two thirds of the students are from low-income families, and 52% of the district’s Spanish-speaking students need ESL (English as a second language) instruction.
