Safe School Plan
The California Education Code (sections 32280-32288) outlines the requirements of all schools operating any kindergarten and any grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to write and develop a school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of that particular school.
In 2004, the Legislature and Governor recast and renumbered the Comprehensive School Safety Plan provisions in SB 719 and AB 115. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting the provisions to support California public schools as they develop their mandated comprehensive safety plans that are the result of a systematic planning process, that include strategies aimed at the prevention of, and education about, potential incidents involving crime and violence on school campuses.

School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) is a report generated by all California public schools annually to provide information about themselves to the community, allowing the public to evaluate and compare schools for student achievement, environment, resources and demographics.
Our Charter
As a charter school, Nord Country School is guided by a charter petition, submitted periodically to our authorizing entity, Chico Unified School District. Just recently, we were approved for a five-year renewal for 2017 through 2022.
Consumer Confidence Report - water quality
Nord Country School's water supply comes from a single groundwater well located at the school site. Water quality is tested regularly by our water system operator. The water quality assurance program is monitored and audited annually by Butte County Department of Public Health. One of the requirements to ensure the health of our water system and our students is the posting of a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) which itemizes the constituents of our drinking water and the hazards that may exist.
FERPA Notice and Objection Form
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) sets out requirements for the protection of privacy of parents and students, including privacy of student records. Generally, parents and/or students must provide written consent before an educational agency may disclose personally identifiable information (PII). However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Specifically, an educational agency must provide PII when ordered by a court, which the CDE has been ordered to do in litigation. The CDE is obligated to inform the parent or student that the court has ordered it to produce documents and/or data that includes those individuals’ PII and that such persons may object directly to the court regarding this disclosure. If you have received such a notification, here is the link for the Objection Form - http://www.cde.ca.gov/morganhillcase.
