The document discusses a problem statement regarding communication between the Ventura County Office of Education and school districts in Ventura County about expediting student placements at Gateway. A pre-assessment survey was given to all school districts to understand their needs. The goal is to rewrite the "Ventura County Office of Education Plan for Expelled Students" based on data from expulsion rates and a post-assessment to be administered at the end of the 2008-2009 school year.
