The Mountain View School District believes that through education, the next generation will develop systems and solutions to the world's problems that past generations could not have dreamt. To support the learning and development of tomorrow’s leaders, the Technology Department at MVSD maintains the network infrastructure, standardizes hardware and data, develops systems and procedures as well as supports the educational community in utilizing the technology adopted by the district. 

STUDENTS

We believe that students learn best when they are safe. With the support of our entire educational community, we strive to continue to identify strategies to maintain the safety of our students and staff.

PARENTS & GUARDIANS

As technology constantly changes and the need for parent/guardian involvement continues to grow, MVSD is aware of proving our community with guidance and information around how to stay connected.

STAFF
We believe that our staff are the most important resource to impact  the academic achievement of our students and our department is no exception. The IT Department provides a wide-range of services to the district to keep students safe, support classroom instruction and meet state/federal requirements.
 
Students today are growing and learning in a time where answers are at their fingertips. The challenge is no longer how to get the answer, the challenge is how to identify the right answer. “Correct answers” are now computational. Critical thinking, on the other hand, is a human operation. Through collaboration, communication, and development, the MVSD Technology Department strives to support our educational community to prepare our students for their future

Restraint and Seclusion Data

California Department of Education

Data Collection

The CDE collected restraint and seclusion data for the first time from local educational agencies (LEAs) as part of the 2019–20 CALPADS End-of-Year (EOY) 3 annual data submission. In preparation for this data collection, the CDE directed LEAs to start collecting these data locally beginning in fall 2019 for submission to CALPADS from May to September 2020. To accommodate the collection of these data, the CALPADS student discipline data files were modified to include the collection of the following behavioral restraint and seclusion data, which are defined in EC section 49005.1:

  • Mechanical Restraint: Use of a device or equipment to restrict a pupil's freedom of movement (with exceptions).
  • Physical Restraint: A personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a pupil to move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head freely (with exceptions).
  • Seclusion: The involuntary confinement of a pupil alone in a room or area from which the pupil is physically prevented from leaving.

The chart below reflects data for the 2024-2025 school year.
