Innovative Schools - Ottomon and Pasadena Avenue Elementary Schools (I-1) Sue Hulsey, Acting Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education, reported that in the 2013-14 school year, Ottomon Elementary School and Pasadena Avenue Elementary School were identified as low enrolled schools. Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 7111 provide the school sites the opportunity to create a “magnet-like” program to increase enrollment. Ottomon Elementary approved a visual and performing arts focus, and Pasadena Avenue Elementary approved a science and engineering focus. Ms. Hulsey presented an overview of the Innovative Schools plan. Full implementation of the plans will take place in year three, with both sites realizing increased enrollment, student engagement, and student achievement. Ms. Hulsey and Ms. Luttgen visited Salvador Elementary School in Napa, to observe the Artful Learning program that will be used as a model for the Ottomon Elementary School innovative program. The school’s program integrates the arts and the artistic process into the daily classroom experience. Ms. Luttgen and Ms. Hulsey were very impressed with the program and the student engagement in discussing, writing and creating through the arts. Pasadena Avenue Elementary school began looking at the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and unpacked them by grade 1772

levels. Staff identified curriculum from National Geographic which they could align to NGSS. Representatives from National Geographic will be providing free professional development to the teachers on the supplemental materials they have selected. Ms. Costa commended the staff and parents on their leadership in developing these innovative plans for their schools. Ms. Costa stated that she has asked Mr. Kern to look at encouraging these types of innovative programs at other under-enrolled schools. Mr. Paulo asked if there has been consideration given in developing a partnership with Churchill Middle School and Mira Loma High School. He stated that both Churchill and Mira Loma have strong science programs and resources that may be useful. Ms. Hulsey responded that the principals at Pasadena Elementary and Mira Loma High School have been working on developing a partnership. Mr. Kern suggested that this collaboration will also encourage enrollment growth in the elementary, middle, and high schools. Mr. Kern indicated that there are opportunities for interaction between the schools by having Mira Loma students share their accomplishments such as National Science Bowl champs and explain the academic process. This high school student mentorship will bring a sense of pride to their school as well as Pasadena Elementary School. Mr. Hernandez asked if there is a choir or band at Ottomon. Ms. Fernandez, principal of Ottomon Elementary, responded that they do have a band that meets outside of regular school hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Common Core (I-2) Donna O’Neil, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, presented an update on work supporting implementation of Common Core, and the next steps which will occur throughout the school year. Dr. O’Neil introduced Kristan Schnepp, principal at Sylvan Middle School, who presented an update on Common Core State Standards implementation at Sylvan Middle School. Ms. Schnepp reported that Sylvan staff read “Content Area Writing” by Harvey Daniels, and is now focusing on a school-wide rubric for developing writing that will incorporate understanding and achievement. Mr. Hernandez asked, how staff and administration can help parents understand Common Core so they can help their student. Ms. Schnepp stated that over the last two years they have been working on providing support to families. Tutoring is being offered every day after school. Ms. Luttgen asked how we are calibrating grades so that grades have meaning. Dr. O’Neil responded that the conversation around formative assessment is continuing in the direction for calibrating grades to learning. Staff is looking at understanding what it means to successfully meet Common Core assessments. Determining what grades mean comes from the course description, and what outcomes are expected from that course. There is not a single answer for this question, but this ongoing conversation is bringing us closer to calibrating grades to learning. Ms. Luttgen stated that we need to be cognizant of the fact that grading and grades may be a weakness in this and improving our grading should continue. Public Hearing/Discussion: Golden Valley Charter School II petition (I-3) Dr. O’Neil explained that the district has received a charter petition for Golden Valley Charter School II and, per Education Code §47605, the district is required to hold a public hearing. The petition will be reviewed by staff and brought back to the Board for action on December 9, 2014. Dr. O’Neil introduced Ms. Deborah Lenny, Lead Petitioner for Golden Valley Charter School II. Ms. Lenny presented an overview of the Golden Valley Charter School II, philosophy and program which is inspired by Waldorf Education. Ms. Luttgen declared the Golden Valley Charter School II petition topic a public hearing and invited the public to speak. Three people spoke in favor of the Golden Valley Charter School II. There being no further comments or questions from the public, Ms. Luttgen declared the public hearing closed. English Learner Reclassification Criteria (I-4) Dr. O’Neil explained that until recently, the California Standards Test and California Modified Assessment was one of four measures used to determine English learner reclassification. Dr. O’Neil reviewed the metrics that will be used to replace the California Standards Test and California Modified Assessment. Ramona Nelson, Director of Student Learning Assistance explained the criteria. Reclassification requires conferences with every parent, English learner instruction specialist, and the teacher. Action was scheduled for October 28. Ms. Luttgen asked about the graduation rate noted on the bottom of the sample annual parent notification letter. Dr. O’Neil responded that this percentage rate is the graduation rate for high school English language learners; it is a state requirement to report this percentage. Letters sent to parents go out in English and the language the parent identifies as their primary language. District’s Proposal/Interest for Contract Negotiations with the California School Employees Association, Chapter 127 for 2014-2015 Successor Agreement (I-5) After hearing no public comments, it was moved by Dr. Masuoka, seconded by Ms. Costa, to adopt the bargaining interests of the Governing Board for negotiations with the California School Employee Association, Chapter 127 for 2014-2015. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY [Luttgen, Costa, Hernandez, Paulo, Masuoka]. 1773

Williams Complaint Report (I-6) Linda Simlick, General Counsel, explained that the district must report on the status of Williams-type complaints filed with the district per Education Code §35186(d), which requires each school district to publicly report, on a quarterly basis, summarized data on the nature and resolution of all Williams-type complaints. Ms. Simlick stated that during July through September 2014, there were no Williams-type complaints filed. Future Agenda (J) Dr. Masuoka asked if the Physical Education Exemption Option would be on the future agenda. Mr. Kern responded that Mr. Messer has had discussions with the Parent Engagement Group, and is developing a process for bringing information to the Board. Ms. Costa recognized Ms. Roux for her outstanding service to the Board of Education and wished her much success in her new position as Executive Assistant to the Superintendent. Adjournment At 8:20 p.m., there being no further announcements or business, the regular meeting was adjourned. ________________________________ Lucinda Luttgen, President

SAN JUAN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT-CHILD DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HEAD START & EARLY HEAD START POLICIES AND PROCEDURES NON-FEDERAL MATCH (IN-KIND) FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015 Guidance: The Head Start Act stipulates that the Federal share of the total costs of the Head Start program will not exceed 80% of the total grantee or delegate budget. Thus, the delegate is required to obtain a 20% non-federal share match. Contributions of donated time, supplies, services, district or state funded projects, or money need to be properly documented and forwarded to the Child Development Fiscal Department for reporting. San Juan Unified School Districts/Child Development Programs Fiscal Department will review and approve monthly summary in-kind reports submitted by Head Start personnel. Definition: The portion of the cost of a project or program that is not borne by the federal government. The value of cash or in-kind contributions from non-federal funding sources. Non-federal share must be ALLOWABLE, REASONABLE, ACTUAL, NECESSARY, ALLOCABLE, and in accordance with cost principles. [45 CFR Part 92.24, 45 CFR Part 74.23, and 2 CFR Part 230 & 225] *

Adequate documentation and the basis for valuation is required

*

Non-federal contributions may be in the form of: Cash - any donated cash may be counted as NFS when it is expended. Non-Cash (in-kind) - contributions provided by a third party from non-federal sources.

*

Non-federal match must not have been used for match on another program.

Procedures: Volunteer Activities: The Classroom Volunteer Activities Form is used to report any volunteer time at a Head Start site. Volunteer time at the sites can be for helping staff in the classroom, at field trips, helping put on workshops/meetings. Classroom activities must be consistent with the duties of a Child Development Assistant. All volunteer activities should include a description of the services provided to the program in sufficient detail to document the benefit to the program. The description should include the volunteer's name, the date(s) of service, the number of hours, and a description of the service(s) provided. After the form is completed, it is forwarded to the Fiscal Department for review, approval, and reporting. Volunteer Time For Attending Meetings: Sign-in sheets will be used to document the in-kind amount for the Head Start & Early Head Start Policy Committee. Copies of the agenda, minutes, and sign-in sheets are copied and forwarded to the Fiscal Department for recording for each meeting. Contributions: All contributions of donated goods are listed on the Contributions Form. The form details the exact contribution and the estimated cost of goods donated. The form is then signed by the Director of Early Elementary Education, the bottom copy goes to the Fiscal Department for recording, and the original copy goes to the Board of Education for approval. Reporting: Recording of delegate non-federal share will be calculated and logged by the Admissions and Family Services Technician. This will be done by the 5th of each month. After the in-kind hours are logged, the non-federal share will be reviewed by a Fiscal Technician 1. Source documentation will be used to review for accuracy, allowability and reasonableness during the fiscal review. At this time, any non-federal share (in-kind hours) that is questionable will be disallowed and deducted from the in-kind hours. This review will be completed by the 8th of each month. The non-federal share will then be reported to the Sacramento County Employment and Training Agency on the 10th of each month with the fiscal report. Before, the fiscal and in-kind report is submitted it will be reviewed again by the Fiscal Technician II for any discrepancies.

2

The non-federal share will be reported to both the Head Start Parent Committee and the San Juan Unified Board of Education on a monthly basis. Monitoring Monitoring of the non-federal share is completed as follows: 1. Every quarter, the Coordinator of the Head Start Program randomly pulls samples of the non-federal share files and reviews them for accuracy, reasonableness and allowability. If a discrepancy is found, it is disallowed and the non-federal share report is corrected. 2. Twice a year, the Sacramento Employment and Training Agency monitors all fiscal and non-federal share randomly selecting certain months. Samples are pulled from the source documents and are reviewed and tracked from the conception of the non-federal share to the reporting of the non-federal share on the fiscal report. If discrepancies are found more samples are pulled and corrections are made and changed on the fiscal report.

ACTION REQUESTED: The Superintendent is recommending that the Board approve changes to English Learner Reclassification Criteria which was discussed on October 14, 2014. RATIONALE/BACKGROUND: Until recently, English Learner reclassification was determined using four measures: 1) California English Language Development (CELDT) data, 2) California Standards Test (CST)/California Modified Assessment (CMA) data, 3) parental opinion and consultation, and 4) teacher evaluation. Until Smarter Balanced assessment data is available as a replacement for CST/CMA, it is recommended that CST/CMA data be replaced with the following metrics: Grades 1-2: Proficiency on grade level standards as measured by end of year report card Grades 3-9: National norm reading scores as measured by the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) test Grades 10-12: Scores at or above 350 on English Language Arts California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) Revisions to Board Policy 6174 and Administrative Regulation 1674 are in process to ensure alignment with this recommendation.

Description of Program Placement Options and Goals for English Learners All programs include English Language Development (ELD) and teaching strategies differentiated for each student’s level of English language proficiency. These strategies are used to help each student reach proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing English, and succeed academically in all core subjects. •

Structured English Immersion (SEI): Students who score at less than reasonable fluency (Beginning or Early Intermediate overall on the CELDT) are placed in an SEI program and are taught overwhelmingly in English. Some assistance may be provided in the primary language. Students are taught ELD and other core subjects by authorized teachers using district-adopted textbooks and supplementary materials. Instruction is based on ELD and grade-level content standards.



English Language Mainstream (ELM): Students who score at reasonable fluency (Intermediate, Early-Advanced or Advanced overall on the CELDT) in English are placed in an ELM program. They are taught ELD and other core subjects by authorized teachers using district-adopted textbooks and supplementary materials. Instruction is based on ELD and gradelevel content standards. Students receive any additional instruction needed for them to be reclassified as fluent English proficient.



Alternative Program (ALT): Students with an approved “Parental Exception Waiver”* are taught core subjects in their primary language. They receive instruction in ELD in English. Teachers must receive special training to work in such a program. They use district-adopted textbooks and supplementary instructional materials. Instruction is based on ELD and grade-level content standards. Students receive any additional instruction needed for them to be reclassified as fluent English proficient.

*Parents/Guardians have the right to request a “Parental Exception Waiver” for an alternative program. California law gives parents the right to request that their child be placed in an Alternative Program. To do so, you must visit your child’s school to apply for a “Parental Exception Waiver” each year. Your child must meet one of the following requirements: a) knows English and performs academically at least at fifth grade level; b) is ten years of age or older; or c) is a student under ten years of age who has been in an English language classroom for 30 calendar days, and has special needs.

NOTE: At any time during the school year, you may have your child moved into the English Language Mainstream Program.

Reclassification (Exit) Criteria The goal of the English learner program is for students to become fully proficient in English and to master state standards for academic achievement as rapidly as possible. This district’s reclassification criteria are listed below: Required Criteria (California Education Code Section 313[d])

LEA Criteria Reclassification criteria pending board approval

English Language Proficiency Assessment (CELDT)

CELDT Overall Level of Early Advanced (4) or above and all Subtest Intermediate Level (3) or higher. Grades 1-2 Early Advanced or higher.

Comparison of Performance in Basic Skills

Grades 1-2: Proficiency on grade level standards as measured by end of year report card. Grades 3-9: National norm reading scores as measured by Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) test. Grades 10-12: Scores at or above 350 on English Language Arts (ELA) California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).

Parental Opinion and Consultation

Parent is consulted and provided an opportunity to agree/disagree with the recommendation to reclassify the student.

Teacher Evaluation

Teacher(s) confirms that student can perform grade level work independently without need for English language development or sheltered content instruction. Teachers use multiple measures to make this determination. (Student grades/assessments, review of daily performance, SOLOM-optional). Optional: Other district multiple measures

Graduation Rate: 80.9 % based on 2012-2013 (the most recent official data from the California Department of Education).

*************************** Please call the school if you would like to schedule a parent conference to discuss your child’s options for program placement.

ACTION REQUESTED: The Superintendent is recommending that the Board approve the members of the Local Control Accountability Plan Parent Advisory Committee (LCAP PAC). RATIONALE/BACKGROUND: The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) approved by the Board of Education on June 24, 2014 includes a provision for a parent advisory committee to be formed for the purpose of advising the Board on matters connected with the plan. This committee, which is required by Education Code section 52063 (a)(1) and (a)(2), must include parents or legal guardians of students in the three targeted populations for which funding is received (low income, Foster Youth, and English language learners). Thirteen of the twenty-five members represent one or more of the targeted groups and an additional three members are affiliated with Special Education. The guidelines for the LCAP PAC are intended to increase the input of parents and students, particularly of the targeted groups. This work is necessary as we move to close achievement gaps across our system. This Parent Advisory Committee will work collaboratively with staff, employee groups and at-large stakeholders to provide input and feedback on the actions and services provided for in the LCAP and their effectiveness in meeting the state priorities and overall goals. Additionally some members of the LCAP PAC will also sit on the Strategic Plan Planning Team, ensuring alignment and coherence between the two plans.

MEETING DATE:

10/28/2014

SUBJECT: Sylvan Middle School Facility Needs

CHECK ONE: For Discussion: For Action Report: Workshop: Recognition: Emergency Action:

DEPARTMENT: Facilities

ACTION REQUESTED: The Superintendent is recommending the Board discuss the following recommendations coming forward for action on November 18:

1. Consolidate Citrus Heights Elementary School with Carriage Drive Elementary as a K-5 school beginning with the 2015-16 school year and assign the current Citrus Heights Elementary boundary area to the new combined school. 2. Authorize modernization of the Citrus Heights Elementary School campus to provide the community of Citrus Heights with a quality middle school facility. 3. Move Sylvan Middle School to the modernized Citrus Heights Elementary facility beginning with the 2016-17 school year. Action anticipated: November 18, 2014 RATIONALE/BACKGROUND:

The current Sylvan Middle School facility represents the continuation of a rich history in schools to carry its name dating back as far as 1862. The current facility, dating back to 1938, has served the community well for generations but has reached the end of its useful life expectancy. In 2013, the District engaged the DLR Group to conduct a facilities needs analysis at each school as part of our Facilities Master Plan. DLR identified more than $2.4 billion in needs across all school sites and ranked Sylvan Middle School as being in the worst condition of any school in the District. The school was assigned a grade of D- and a cost replacement index value of 75.4, calling into question further investments in the school facility and infrastructure. Sylvan Middle School is also one of the most active school sites for injury claims in the District, and fails to meet compliance requirements of the Americans with Disability Act as it is currently configured. Student, staff, and community input support DLR’s analysis that the condition of Sylvan Middle School fails to provide an adequate learning environment for middle school students in the Citrus Heights region. In seeking a solution to provide an adequate middle school facility, it is important to note that enrollment in the Citrus Heights region has declined by 22 percent (1,692 students) since 2004/05, while only one school has been closed. This has resulted in more than adequate capacity throughout the region as a whole at elementary, middle and high school. Anecdotal accounts would support that the condition of Sylvan’s facility contributes to the region’s loss of students at the middle school and consequently high school levels. Last year, 157 students living in Sylvan’s boundary area chose to attend other schools through the open enrollment, intra or inter district transfer processes.

A solution also requires an assessment of available resources. With $2.4 billion in needs established at the Districts 65+ sites, the need is enormous. Currently, the only fiscal resource available to fund a Sylvan facility solution is local school bond funds made possible by the passage of Measure N in 2012, which must support the needs of all schools for the next several years. Staff members believe a balanced approach must be taken that maximizes use of currently underutilized facilities and allocates scarce fiscal resources in a manner that meets as many needs as possible districtwide. To ensure that the Citrus Heights community has an appropriate middle school facility, and to make the best use of existing facilities and efficient use of fiscal resources, staff recommend: consolidation of Citrus Heights Elementary with Carriage Drive Elementary as a K-5 school on the current Carriage Drive campus beginning with the 2015-16 school year, modernization of the Citrus Heights Elementary campus as detailed below, and moving the Sylvan Middle School program to the revitalized facility beginning in the 2016-17 year. Modernization of Citrus Heights Elementary for a Middle School Program To ensure an appropriate middle school facility, the current Citrus Heights Elementary campus would see the following improvements: New construction - Four science labs, a music room, innovation lab, art room, locker rooms and restrooms. External modernization including windows and select door, frames and hardware issues Internal modernization of all classrooms and multipurpose room Extensive renovation of restrooms Upgrades to lighting systems, intrusion alarm systems and other electrical systems Reconfiguration of kindergarten classrooms to media center Reconfiguration of administrative space to meet middle school needs Outdoor shade structures for eating spaces New furniture as needed Specialty equipment for innovative lab spaces Security fencing Kindergarten outdoor equipment replacement Expansion and reconfiguration of hardcourts Expansion and reconfiguration of parking and drop-off Improvements will cost approximately $18.25 million funded by Measure N dollars. It is also expected that Sylvan Middle School staff will immediately begin conversations on innovative programs, made possible with their updated facility, to help meet student needs and attract more enrollment. Citrus Heights Elementary Consolidation with Carriage Drive Elementary A number of considerations must be considered in the blending of Citrus Heights (CHE) and Carriage Drive elementary schools. This recommendation would be implemented with the following understandings: All current CHE students will be afforded the opportunity to attend Carriage Drive Elementary with the exception of students currently enrolled in the autism preschool program.

2

Current CHE students who do not wish to attend Carriage Drive may access the open enrollment process and receive a second level priority. (The first level priority for siblings will be the only priority with precedence over CHE students.) The autism preschool program at CHE will be moved to Arlington Heights Elementary. Teachers and staff will move with the students. The autism inclusion program at CHE will be moved to Carriage Drive Elementary. Teachers and staff will move with the students. Current staff at CHE will be assigned to new assignments through the surplus process. The new combined school at Carriage Drive will be a K-5 school site. Current fifth grade students at Carriage will need to access a school site offering sixth grade for the 2015/16 school year, including Lichen K-8, Woodside K-8, Kingswood K-8, Sylvan Middle School, or other schools through the open enrollment process. Carriage Drive Elementary will receive its scheduled modernization work to be paid with Measure J funding. The new combined school at Carriage Drive will maintain and enhance the current arts focus at the site. Currently, there are 195 seats between the CHE and Carriage Drive Bridges programs. Combining the sites will result in a reduction of available seats to 120 at most. Staff will work to ensure the maximum number of seats are retained. There is a potential to expand the number of Bridges seats at Sylvan Middle School with greater sixth grade enrollment. Total moving costs of $92,500 are anticipated to accommodate moving both schools including time for staff to pack materials. Future of the Current Sylvan Middle School Site The current Sylvan site is 13 acres, while the Citrus Heights Elementary campus is 15 acres. The sites are adjacent to each other and retaining a large portion, if not all, of the field space between the two campuses would create a more adequately sized middle school. The average size of a middle school campus in the District is just more than 20 acres. Sylvan’s current site will remain occupied with its current program for the 2015-16 school year. A move of Sylvan to the Citrus Heights campus would take place for the start 2016-17 school year. Existing buildings which are no longer appropriate for use will be demolished. Existing District programs and services may occupy remaining facilities. It is not recommended that this property be declared surplus at this time. Other Options Considered A variety of staff and community-generated ideas were considered and analyzed by staff. In evaluating each option, facilities staff weighed existing facility condition, cost to implement the idea, available building capacity and site footprints, educational program considerations, long-term facility impacts and long-term impacts on District enrollment. The most prominent of the ideas included: Rebuilding Sylvan Middle School - Not recommended due to the $44+ million estimated cost, lengthy timeline, and contribution to continued overcapacity in facilities space. Building Facilities at Mesa Verde High School - Not recommended due to cost and necessity to share some facilities between middle and high school students.

3

Closing Carriage Drive Elementary and Moving Sylvan - Not recommended due to inadequate space for a 6-8 program, need to share some facilities with Mesa Verde High School and need to construct additional facilities on property that is now Mesa Verde’s campus. Moving Sylvan to Sunrise Tech Center - Not recommended due to distance between campuses, need for construction of significant additional classroom space, and small size of the property. Consolidating Mesa Verde High School with San Juan High and Moving Sylvan - Not recommended due to distance for students near the District’s northern boundary and San Juan High School, recent investments in Mesa Verde as a high school campus, and condition of San Juan High classrooms compared to Mesa Verde. “Fixing” Sylvan - Next to rebuilding the school, this was one of the most popular options and staff completed a detailed analysis including a review by architects of necessary repairs. The final cost estimate of $30.8 million would provide for a safe and secure campus but does not upgrade or provide new spaces. This option is not being recommended due to the high cost, lack of appreciable instruction value added to the facility, lengthy timeline, and contribution to continued overcapacity in facilities space. Delaying the Decision for a Year - At the request of community members, staff considered and investigated the option to delay any decision related to Sylvan and Citrus Heights for one year. Individual community members believed they could raise the potential funds necessary through grants, partnership with the city, or by other means, to completely rebuild a new facility for Sylvan. After speaking with members of City Council as well as the city planning department, and considering the other impacts of delaying the decision for a year, it was decided not to recommend this option. Sylvan is a unique piece of the educational history for our community. While Citrus Heights is served by three K-8 schools, Sylvan is the only traditional middle school program available to residents. Staff’s recommendation provides a solution that makes the most efficient use of underutilized facilities, allows for prudent investment of available resources, and provides a high quality facility for our Citrus Heights middle school community.

MEETING DATE:

10/28/2014

SUBJECT: Paramount Collegiate Academy Charter Petition

CHECK ONE: For Discussion: For Action Report: Workshop: Recognition: Emergency Action:

DEPARTMENT: Pupil Personnel Services

ACTION REQUESTED: The Superintendent is recommending that the Board hold a discussion of the Paramount Collegiate Academy charter petition and the findings of the District’s charter review team. Action anticipated: November 18, 2014 RATIONALE/BACKGROUND: Paramount Collegiate Academy (PCA) has petitioned the District to grant approval to operate as a college preparatory, project-based STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) grades 6-12 independent charter school within the San Juan Unified School District for a term of five (5) years beginning July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020. In compliance with California Education Code section 47605, the Board of Education formally received the PCA charter petition during the September 23 Board meeting and held a public hearing on the petition. The purpose of the public hearing was to consider the level of support for the petition by teachers employed by the District, other employees of the District, and parents. Several members of the PCA petition team, along with interested parents and students, came to speak in favor of the petition. During the last two months, the PCA charter petition was reviewed and analyzed by the following persons: Pattie Colvin - Financials; Susan Green - Measurable Student Outcomes/Standards & Educational Programs; Megan Doyle - Special Education; Peggy Purvis - Human Resources; Sharon Rawls - Pupil Suspension and Expulsion; Tony Oddo - Health & Safety; David Burke - Facilities; Linda Bessire, Susan Griffin and Linda Simlick - Overall Compliance, Governance Structure, Dispute Resolution.

BOARD COMMITTEE ACTION/COMMENT: N/A

PREVIOUS STAFF/BOARD ACTION: 9/23/14 Board of Education Public Hearing 9/15/14, 10/20/14 Superintendent’s Cabinet FINANCIAL DATA: Estimated cost for current budget year: No direct costs PREPARED BY:

Linda M. Bessire, Ed.D., Director, Pupil Personnel Services

APPROVED BY:

Donna O’Neil, Ed.D., Associate Superintendent, Schools and Student Support Kent Kern, Superintendent of Schools

According to the Charter Schools Act of 1992, a governing board may not deny a petition unless it sets forth specific facts to support one, or more, of the following five findings: 1. The charter school presents an unsound educational program for the students to be enrolled. 2. The petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the petition. 3. The petition does not contain the number of signatures required by Education Code section 47605, subdivisions (a)(1)(A) or (a)(1)(B). 4. The petition does not contain an affirmation of certain specific conditions set forth in Education Code section 47605, subdivision (d), (e.g., nonsectarian; admit all students; use of public random lottery, if needed, for admission). 5. The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of all of the 16 elements listed in Education Code section 47605(b)(5)(A-P). The District’s charter review team’s findings are as follows pursuant to Education Code section 47605: 1. The charter school presents an unsound education program for the students to be enrolled in the charter school (Education Code section 47605(b)(1)). 2. The petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the Petition (Education Code section 47605(b)(2)). 3. The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of three required elements set forth in Education Code section 47605, subdivisions (b)(5)(A-P). The Superintendent recommends that the Board adopt the District’s charter review team’s findings of fact as its own findings and deny the Petition based on the above identified grounds. The PCA charter petition is available for review in its entirety in the Board of Education Office.

Variable Term Waiver

DEPARTMENT: Human Resources

MEETING DATE:

_I-5_______ 10/28/14

ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the submission of a Variable Term Waiver to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), effective 8/14/2014-6/04/2015, for Amberlee Prosser-Jimenez, teacher at Mesa Verde High School. RATIONALE/BACKGROUND: A Variable Term Waiver is necessary to provide an authorization for Amberlee Prosser-Jimenez to provide instruction to English Language Learners. Ms. Prosser-Jimenez currently holds a preliminary Career Technical Education (CTE) credential, which is issued based on industry experience. Normally, the district would be able to submit an application for an emergency CLAD permit to cover the assignment, but that requires a Bachelor’s degree and passing a Basic Skills Requirement. Ms. Prosser-Jimenez does not meet the requirements for the emergency CLAD. A waiver for Teachers of English Language Learners is considered a low-incidence area and substantial recruitment efforts must be met. The district met the requirements by advertising on EdJoin as well as sending a flier to all agencies in California that have a Career Technical Education program as well as SCOE and SETA. Only one candidate with a CTE credential and proper authorization to teach English learners applied and that candidate declined an interview. Ms. Prosser-Jimenez is currently enrolled in the CTE program at CSU San Bernardino, and upon completion of the program, and two years of teaching will be eligible for the clear teaching authorization which includes an English Learner authorization. All requests for Variable Term Waivers must be presented for approval to the governing board of the public school district. Every waiver request submitted to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing must include verification that a notice of intent to employ the named applicant in the identified position has been made public.
