Public Hearing for Approve of the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Mrs. Lasley opened the Public Hearing at 8:07 PM. Mrs. Bargo, President of CSEA, stated that in the summary in the agenda the focus is on state and local priorities, but looking under the section on student safety there was no mention of protecting children through cleanliness. She stated that the classified staff (including custodians) has been reduced greatly and that the current level of custodial staffing does not have the time to clean the schools as it did in the past. Ms. Bargo requested that these concerns be evaluated and incorporated into the LCAP. Mrs. Kim Newcomer stated that she agreed with Mrs. Bargo regarding the importance of cleanliness of facilities. In addition, she stated that she was grateful to have been included in the process of developing the LCAP. She stated that as the funding for LCAP becomes more limited she would hope that the input of the community, students, and parents would continue to be sought and valued. Mrs. Lasley closed the Public Hearing at 8:11 PM.

Critical Area 1: In this course, students continue this work by using quantities to model and analyze situations, to interpret expressions, and by creating equations to describe situations. Critical Area 2: In this course, students will learn function notation and develop the concepts of domain and range. They explore many examples of functions, including sequences; they interpret functions given graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally, translate between representations, and understand the limitations of various representations. They compare and contrast linear and exponential functions. They interpret arithmetic sequences as linear functions and geometric sequences as exponential functions. Critical Area 3: Students develop fluency writing, interpreting, and translating between various forms of linear equations and inequalities, and using them to solve problems. They master the solution of linear equations and the laws of exponents. Students explore systems of equations and inequalities, and they find and interpret their solutions. Critical Area 4: Students use regression techniques to describe approximately linear relationships between quantities. They use graphical representations and knowledge of the context to make judgments about the appropriateness of linear models. With linear models, they look at residuals to analyze the goodness of fit. Critical Area 5: In this course, students establish triangle congruence criteria, based on analyses of rigid motions and formal constructions. They solve problems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons. They apply reasoning to complete geometric constructions and explain why they work.

Integrated Math II Support Mathematics 2016-17 One year 10-12 Integrated Mathematics I Elective

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE The fundamental purpose of this course is to provide additional targeted support and intervention for students concurrently enrolled in Integrated Mathematics II. The focus of the Integrated Math II course is on quadratic expressions, equations, and functions. Integrated Mathematics II course has been built to spiral instruction from Integrated Mathematics I with both courses more ambitious versions of Algebra than generally offered. For this reason, there are high school students that benefit from additional instruction in the fundamentals of mathematical reasoning, as well as the opportunity to receive scaffold support that reinforces mathematical concepts being taught.

MAJOR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE 2.1

2.2

2.3

Critical Area 1: Students extend the laws of exponents to rational exponents and explore distinctions between rational and irrational numbers by considering their decimal representations. Students learn that when quadratic equations do not have real solutions, the number system must be extended so that solutions exist, analogous to the way in which extending the whole numbers to the negative numbers allows x + 1 = 0 to have a solution. Students explore relationships between number systems: whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. The guiding principle is that equations with no solutions in one number system may have solutions in a larger number system. Critical Area 2: Students consider quadratic functions, comparing the key characteristics of quadratic functions to those of linear and exponential functions. They select from among these functions to model phenomena. Students learn to anticipate the graph of a quadratic function by interpreting various forms of quadratic expressions. In particular, they identify the real solutions of a quadratic equation as the zeros of a related quadratic function. When quadratic equations do not have real solutions, students learn that that the graph of the related quadratic function does not cross the horizontal axis. They expand their experience with functions to include more specialized functions - absolute value, step, and those that are piecewise-defined. Critical Area 3: Students begin by focusing on the structure of expressions, rewriting expressions to clarify and reveal aspects of the relationship they

represent. They create and solve equations, inequalities, and systems of equations involving exponential and quadratic expressions. Critical Area 4: Building on probability concepts that began in the middle grades, students use the language of set theory to expand their ability to compute and interpret theoretical and experimental probabilities for compound events, attending to mutually exclusive events, independent events, and conditional probability. Students should make use of geometric probability models wherever possible. They use probability to make informed decisions. Critical Area 5: Students apply their earlier experience with dilations and proportional reasoning to build a formal understanding of similarity. They identify criteria for similarity of triangles, use similarity to solve problems, and apply similarity in right triangles to understand right triangle trigonometry, with particular attention to special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. Students develop facility with geometric proof. They use what they know about congruence and similarity to prove theorems involving lines, angles, triangles, and other polygons. They explore a variety of formats for writing proofs.

APPROVAL TO AUTHORIZE AN INCREASE TO THE GENERAL FUND REVOLVING CASH ACCOUNT

SUMMARY: Ramona Unified established the Revolving Cash Account in 1997, per Education Code 42800-5. The purpose of this account is to handle emergencies and relieve the commercial warrant process from writing numerous small warrants. The fund is used when there is a need to issue payment for services or supplies under an urgent deadline and when the usual accounts payable warrant process cannot be met. Education Code 45167 also authorizes payment to employees to alleviate errors made in the payroll process. The amount of the account has been designated at $23,000.00. Education Code allows for an increase to this fund. An increase will provide greater flexibility in handling the financial needs of the District. There is no additional cost to the General Fund since all monies are reimbursed, however, there is a one-time adjust of $27,000.00 to increase the Revolving Cash Account balance to $50,000.00.
