Additionally, a comprehensive programmatic review of special educationservices often includes an examination of how the programs and financial resourcescompare with programs and resources in similar school districts. These data contribute toan understanding of the unique demographic characteristics, resources, and expendituresof the MDUSD special education programs and supplement the analysis of the issues andchallenges faced by school district managers.MGT conducted a benchmarking comparison of MDUSD to provide a common foundationfrom which to compare systems and processes within the school district with those ofother, similar districts. It is important for readers to keep in mind that when comparisonsare made across districts, the data may not be reliable as different school districts havedifferent operational definitions, and data self‐reported by school districts can besubjective. Data for this preliminary comparison was taken from the California Departmentof Education Web site and Standard & Poor’s SchoolDataDirect Web site whenever possibleto provide standardized data across school districts.MGT and the district jointly selected several California school districts to compare withMDUSD. Peers were selected based on student enrollment, student achievement, andstudent‐to‐staff ratios. The California school districts selected for this proposal are:• West Contra Costa Unified School District• Clovis Unified School DistrictMGT of America, Inc. Page 1‐11
Introduction and Peer District Comparisons• Moreno Valley Unified School District• Elk Grove Unified School District• Folsom‐Cordova Unified School District• Stockton City Unified School DistrictAs stated previously, when comparing information across databases of multiple districts, acommon set of operational definitions should be established so that comparable data areanalyzed to the greatest extent possible. For example, an administrator in one schooldistrict may be categorized as a non‐administrative coordinator in another school district.Many of the national statistical databases compile data using standardized criteria toaccount for this variance. Thus, nationally standardized data were used to promote relevantand valuable comparisons whenever possible.Information displayed in the exhibits of this chapter includes data from the followingsources and reports, and wherever available, from the 2008‐09 school year:• California Department of Education• Standard & Poor’s SchoolDataDirect Web siteExhibit 1‐6 presents several important demographics for MDUSD and its peers in the 2008‐09 school year. Compared to the peer average, MDUSD had:• A lower student enrollment, a lower percentage of students eligible for free/reducedpriced meals, and a lower percentage of English language learners.• A higher population of special education students and a higher number of schools.EXHIBIT 1‐6MT.
