==Teacher salaries==
The Anaheim Elementary School District employed 817 K-12 teachers during the 2011-12 school year.<ref>[http://www.ed-data.k12.ca.us/App_Resx/EdDataClassic/fsTwoPanel.aspx?#!bottom=/_layouts/EdDataClassic/fiscal/TeacherSalary.asp?reportNumber=4096&level=06&fyr=1112&county=30&district=66423 ''Education Data Partnership'', "District Reports: Teacher Salaries," accessed November 25, 2014]</ref> Teacher salaries are categorized based on higher education achievement, professional development and years of service. A teacher with a bachelor's degree can earn higher salaries by pursuing graduate courses with raises at credit intervals. The salary schedule also accounts for graduate degrees by providing higher starting salaries and greater potential salaries. The following table details the salary schedule negotiated between the district and the California Teachers Association for the 2013-2014 school year:<ref>[http://www.aeeaoftu.org/Calendar,_Contract_and_Forms_files/2011-12%20Credentialed-Non-Credentialed%20Salary%20Schedules.pdf ''Anaheim City School District,'' "Certified Salary schedules," accessed April 21, 2014]</ref>
The following salary information was pulled from the district's teacher salary schedule. A salary schedule is a list of expected compensations based on variables such as position, years employed, and education level. It may not reflect actual teacher salaries in the district.

===Enrollment===
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the [[U.S. Department of Education]], proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, '''proficiency levels are not comparable between different states''' and '''year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable''' because states may change their proficiency measurements.<ref>[http://www.ed.gov/edfacts ''U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC: EDFacts'', "State Assessments in Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics- School Year 2018-19 ED''Facts'' Data Documentation," accessed February 25, 2021]</ref>
The Anaheim Elementary School District served 19,308 students during the 2013-2014 school year. Enrollment in the district decreased by 0.02 percent from 2009 to 2013.<ref name=enrollment/>

==Academic performance==
===California STAR program===
California's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, which includes the California Standards Tests (CST), the California Modified Assessment (CMA) and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), measures the achievement of California content standards for grades two through 11. STAR results include English-language arts and mathematics in grades two through 11, science in grades five and eight through 11, and history-social science in grades eight, 10 and 11. In high school, math and science tests reflect the course in which the student is enrolled. There are four benchmarks to indicate a student's proficiency on STAR; below basic, basic, proficient and advanced. "Proficient" or "Advanced" indicates that a student is meeting or exceeding state standards, which is the desired achievement goal for all students.<ref>[http://www.ed-data.k12.ca.us/App_Resx/EdDataClassic/fsTwoPanel.aspx?#!bottom=/_layouts/EdDataClassic/Accountability/PerformanceReports.asp?reportNumber=1&fyr=1213&county=30&district=66423&school=&level=06&tab=3 ''Education Data Partnership,'' "District Reports: Accountability (API/AYP/Performance)," accessed April 21, 2014]</ref>

===2015: Elementary school parents petition for a charter school===
The Anaheim City Board of Education was at odds with the parents of Palm Lane Elementary, a school in the district, when members unanimously voted down a petition to turn it into a [[charter school]] in February 2015. At the time, district officials said the petition lacked enough valid signatures, but [[Superior Court of Orange County, California|Orange County Superior Court]] Judge [[Andrew P. Banks|Andrew Banks]] disagreed. In July 2015, he ruled the petition had been conducted properly and ordered the school board to approve it within 20 days.
Parents at Palm Lane Elementary, a school in the district, petitioned the board to convert the school into a charter school in 2015. The parents were the first in [[Orange County, California|Orange County]] to invoke [[California|California’s]] Parent Empowerment Act. The law created a process by which parents could petition school boards to turn schools into charter schools when they were rated as academically low-performing.<ref name=petition>[http://www.ocregister.com/articles/district-672314-parent-parents.html ''Orange County Register'', "Judge sides with parents' efforts to make Anaheim's Palm Lane a charter school," July 18, 2015]</ref>


[[California|California's]] Parent Empowerment Act, also called the Parent Trigger Law, allows parents to petition school boards to reform schools, which includes turning them into charter schools. The law requires signatures be collected from over half of the students' parents. The parents at Palm Lane Elementary were the first to invoke the law in [[Orange County, California|Orange County]]. When they first turned in their petition to the school board, they said they had collected signatures from 66 percent of parents. Judge Banks said he found at least 11 more valid signatures than the parents needed.<ref>[http://www.ocregister.com/articles/district-672314-parent-parents.html ''Orange County Register'', "Judge sides with parents' efforts to make Anaheim's Palm Lane a charter school," July 18, 2015]</ref>

Public participation in board meetings

The Anaheim Elementary School District Board of Education maintains the following policy on public testimony during board meetings:[6]

“

Public Participation

Members of the public are encouraged to attend Board meetings and to address the Board concerning any item on the agenda or within the Board's jurisdiction. So as not to inhibit public participation, persons attending Board meetings shall not be requested to sign in, complete a questionnaire, or otherwise provide their name or other information as a condition of attending the meeting.

In order to conduct district business in an orderly and efficient manner, the Board requires that public presentations to the Board comply with the following procedures:

1. The Board shall give members of the public an opportunity to address the Board on any item of interest to the public that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board, either before or during the Board's consideration of the item. (Education Code 35145.5; Government Code 54954.3)

2. At a time so designated on the agenda at a regular meeting, members of the public may bring before the Board matters that are not listed on the agenda. The Board shall take no action or discussion on any item not appearing on the posted agenda, except as authorized by law. (Education Code 35145.5; Government Code 54954.2)

3. Without taking action, Board members or district staff members may briefly respond to statements made or questions posed by the public about items not appearing on the agenda. Additionally, on their own initiative or in response to questions posed by the public, Board members or staff members may ask a question for clarification, make a brief announcement, or make a brief report on their own activities. (Government Code 54954.2)

Furthermore, the Board or a Board member may provide a reference to staff or other resources for factual information, ask staff to report back to the Board at a subsequent meeting concerning any matter, or take action directing staff to place a matter of business on a future agenda. (Government Code 54954.2)

4. The Board need not allow the public to speak on any item that has already been considered by a committee composed exclusively of Board members at a public meeting where the public had the opportunity to address the committee on that item. However, if the Board determines that the item has been substantially changed since the committee heard the item, the Board shall provide an opportunity for the public to speak. (Government Code 54954.3)

5. A person wishing to be heard by the Board shall first be recognized by the president and shall then proceed to comment as briefly as the subject permits.

In general, individual speakers will be allowed three minutes to address the Board on each agenda or nonagenda item, and the Board will limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. However, in exceptional circumstances when necessary to ensure full opportunity for public input, the Board president may, with Board consent, adjust the amount of time allowed for public input and/or the time allotted for each speaker. Any such adjustment shall be done equitably so as to allow a diversity of viewpoints. The president may also ask members of the public with the same viewpoint to select a few individuals to address the Board on behalf of that viewpoint. Individual speakers may not cede or in any way give their time to another speaker.

In order to ensure that non-English speakers receive the same opportunity to directly address the Board, any member of the public who utilizes a translator shall be provided at least twice the allotted time to address the Board, unless simultaneous translation equipment is used to allow the Board to hear the translated public testimony simultaneously. (Government Code 54954.3)

6. The Board president may rule on the appropriateness of a topic, subject to the following conditions:

a. If a topic would be suitably addressed at a later time, the Board president may indicate the time and place when it should be presented.
b. The Board shall not prohibit public criticism of its policies, procedures, programs, services, acts, or omissions. (Government Code 54954.3)
c. The Board shall not prohibit public criticism of district employees. However, whenever a member of the public initiates specific complaints or charges against an individual employee, the Board president shall inform the complainant of the appropriate complaint procedure.

7. The Board president shall not permit any disturbance or willful interruption of Board meetings. Persistent disruption by an individual or group or any conduct or statements that threaten the safety of any person(s) at the meeting shall be grounds for the president to terminate the privilege of addressing the Board.

The Board may remove disruptive individuals and order the room cleared if necessary. In this case, members of the media not participating in the disturbance shall be allowed to remain, and individuals not participating in such disturbances may be allowed to remain at the discretion of the Board. When the room is ordered cleared due to a disturbance, further Board proceedings shall concern only matters appearing on the agenda. (Government Code 54957.9)[7]

Teacher salaries

The following salary information was pulled from the district's teacher salary schedule. A salary schedule is a list of expected compensations based on variables such as position, years employed, and education level. It may not reflect actual teacher salaries in the district.

Year Minimum Maximum
2024-2025[9] $65,813 $132,436

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[12]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)

2016: District changes name

The board voted to change the school district's name from Anaheim City School District to Anaheim Elementary School District in March 2016. Those in favor of the change said they wanted to prevent confusion with the Anaheim Union High School District and clarify that the district served elementary students.[13]

“I find that when I meet people for the first time, I have to explain that we’re the elementary school district serving central Anaheim,” said board member David Robert "D.R." Heywood, who first proposed the name change. “Now I say the new name, and it makes everything simpler by clearly stating who we are.”[13]

Board member Ryan Ruelas voted against the name change due to the unknown cost to the district. “I’m a product of this district and I agree that the new name will lead to less confusion on who we serve,” Ruelas said. “But without the hard, financial facts, I couldn’t approve it.”[13]

2015: Elementary school parents petition for a charter school

Parents at Palm Lane Elementary, a school in the district, petitioned the board to convert the school into a charter school in 2015. The parents were the first in Orange County to invoke California’s Parent Empowerment Act. The law created a process by which parents could petition school boards to turn schools into charter schools when they were rated as academically low-performing.[14]
