School Attendance Review Board (SARB)
School Attendance Review Board (SARB) 16 is a consortium of El Segundo USD, Hermosa Beach City Schools, Manhattan Beach USD, and Redondo Beach USD. These 4 school districts include 17 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 3 high schools, 2 continuation schools, and 1 community day school for a total of 27 sites. The 4-member school districts of SARB 16, which serve students in grades K-12, pride themselves on the depth of their pre-SARB efforts.
The vast network of student support includes site administrators, school counselors, law enforcement officers, a district attorney representative, administrative support personnel, and members of SARB. It is believed that early interventions at the school site can assist parents or guardians to solve school attendance and persistent behavior problems using school and community resources. These initial prevention measures are intended to assist in decreasing the number of SARB referrals and decrease student drop-out rates.
SARB 16 supports the individual schools by involving families in attempting to resolve students' attendance problems. The SARB 16's Coordinator is directly connected to the district attorney’s office and can schedule hearings regarding truancy / poor behavior in school. Meetings are held twice a month at the Beach Cities Health District.
