B. Neighborhood For Learning/City Center Program Elimination of Infant and Toddler Program Services
Meeting

Category
4. ACTION ITEMS – GENERAL – INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES
Type
Action

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve the elimination of infant and toddler program services at the Neighborhood for Learning City Center?

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Neighborhood for Learning / City Center

The District operates programs for children of ages 0-5 under the umbrella of two programs, Neighborhood for Learning (NfL) and Wonder Preschool (2.9mo-5years). The Neighborhood for Learning programs are located at EARThS, Park Oaks Elementary, University Center, and City Center, located at 110 Conejo School Road, across from The Lakes. Staff have been presented with fiscal challenges almost on a yearly basis relative to balancing the budget for operating the Neighborhood for Learning associated programs, resulting in frequent position staff restructuring proposals in an effort to remain solvent and not dependent upon General Fund support. In 2015-2016, staff brought forward staffing reductions that yielded approximately $80,000 in annual cost saving, but the reductions were insufficient in balancing the 2016-2017 operational budget. It was necessary to shift funds from a separate enterprise fund, in order to cover the 2016-2017 balance deficit, with the Child Care enterprise fund subsidizing nearly $200,000 of NfL’s deficit.

 

Proposal of Elimination of Infant and Toddler Services:

Staff has closely examined operational costs of each and every program, and have turned to examining the feasibility of operating the infant and toddler programs given the recurring fiscal losses incurred by these two services. The State licensing regulations mandate strict staffing ratios due to the age of the children served, resulting in a significant staffing expense that far exceeds the revenue collected from tuition fees. However, staff does not believe that a part-time employee staffing model, at a lesser cost, would be appropriate to consider, as it would compromise continuity of care which is imperative to maintain for the infant and toddler age children. As the projected loss associated with these two services in 2017-2018 is projected to be approximately $100,000, staff proposes to eliminate services for infants and toddlers at the City Center, effective July 1, 2017. 

 

At the Board meeting on February 21, 2017, the Board of Education requested additional information including, but not limited to: Program descriptions, and budgetary information for each program.  Additionally, NfL staff was directed to meet with a committee of concerned parents to discuss possible alternatives to elimination of the Market Rate infant and toddler programs. The committee met four times in the month of March – March 9, 15, 20 and 22.  As a result of the budgetary appraisal and associated committee efforts, two alternative proposals surfaced that may address program sustainability.

 

At the Board meeting on April 4, 2017, Amie Mills, Director, Child Development, brought forth a presentation on four proposals created by the Infant/Toddler Committee. Upon the Committee's recommendation of Proposal #2, the Board collectively directed staff to move this forward as an Action Item on April 18 ,2017, for the approval of Proposal #2.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

        1.          Approve Proposal #1 - Increase NfL Market Rate Infant & Toddler tuition by 30 percent.

        2.          Approve Proposal #2 - Increase NfL Market Rate Infant & Toddler tuition by 25.5 percent with staffing adjustments.

        3.          Approve the elimination of NfL infant and toddler program services effective July 1, 2017.      

        4.          Do not approve alternatives #1, #2 or #3 and maintain NfL infant and toddler program services in its current status.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Alternative #2.

 

RATIONALE:

 

Fee increase adjustments or program elimination are necessary to balance the 2017-2018 NfL Market Rate / City Center program budget limiting the certain need for General Fund support. Moreover, the proposed fee increases or elimination of infant and toddler services will sustain and ensure the quality of other existing NfL programs.

Type
Action

ISSUE:

 

The District has a responsibility to annually evaluate all fees that are charged to students, parents, community members, connected organizations, and other stakeholders. 

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Conejo Valley Unified School District meal prices have not been adjusted since 2010-2011.  A 2016 School Services of California, Inc. report on the food service program brought to our attention that the "ala carte" food offerings are priced considerably below comparable commercial food items.  Therefore, individual item prices should be adjusted to be fair and competitive.  Full meal prices would remain at their existing rate.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

  1. Approve no change to paid school meal pricing and revise ala carte menu, as submitted.
  2. Approve no change to paid school meal pricing and revise ala carte menu, as amended.
  3. Do not approve no change to paid school meal pricing and revised ala carte menu.

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Alternative #1

 

RATIONALE:

 

No adjustment of paid school meal prices is necessary, however, the revision of the ala carte menu will make CVUSD consistent with comparable school pricing.  Adjustment of the ala carte menu will increase purchases of nutritious school meals and reimbursement from federal and state governments.

Category
5. ACTION ITEMS – GENERAL – BUSINESS SERVICES
Type
Action

ISSUE:

 

The District has a responsibility to annually evaluate all fees that are charged to students, parents, community members, connected organizations, and other stakeholders. 

 

BACKGROUND:

 

The Board of Education previously revised the District's Civic Center fee schedule on May 21, 2013, for the 2013-14 school year.  Prior to that, fees were increased by 5% annually for 10 years through the 2013-14 school year. District costs for labor, supplies, and other related materials associated with facilities increase each year.  Uncertainty in State funding, declining enrollment and rising costs require annual review of fees to ensure non-instructional programs do not take support away from instructional programs. 

 

Separate facility use agreements will continue to be entered into for groups that benefit our community who will be using large blocks of facilities for an extended period of time.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

  1. Approve the Civic Center application fee to $20 and the fee Schedule for the 2017-18 school year with a 10% increase.
  2. Approve the Civic Center application fee to $20 and the fee Schedule for the 2017-18 school year with a different increase.
  3. Approve the Civic Center Fee Schedule for the 2017-18 school year, with no increase.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Alternative #1

 

RATIONALE:

 

The Civic Center fee schedule should be reviewed and revised annually to reflect rising operating costs and give the district funds to keep our facilities maintained.

Category
5. ACTION ITEMS – GENERAL – BUSINESS SERVICES
Type
Action

ISSUE:

 

The District has a responsibility to annually evaluate all fees that are charged to students, parents, community members, connected organizations, and other stakeholders. 

 

BACKGROUND:

 

On April 23, 1992, the Board of Education approved the establishment of a parent-pay pupil transportation system for home-to-school transportation services.  The program was established with tiered payment options.  A full-fare was established, while parents or guardians who are determined eligible according to State of California Food Stamp and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) criteria were offered free or reduced transportation services.

 

The District has not increased bus fees since June 1994.  Fees should be reviewed annually and any adjustments made should be finalized by the Spring of the prior year in order to provide ample time to notify parents.  Proposed fees represent an approximate 10% adjustment.   

 

There are approximately 530-580 students taking advantage of the program with 70% free-eligible, 7% at the reduced rate, and 23% paying the full fare.  

 

Note: The District will continue to provide transportation for specified special education students at no cost to parents.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

  1. Approve the revised parent-pay fee schedule for 2017-18.
  2. Approve the parent-pay fee schedule at an amended rate increase for 2017-18.
  3. Do not adjust the parent-pay fee schedule for 2017-18.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Alternative #1

 

RATIONALE:

 

The parent-pay program provides a safe and reliable option for parents to get their children to school while generating revenue for the general fund to help offset transportation costs.  It also allows the district to maximize busing efficiency by placing students in unfilled seats.

D. Approval of a Facilities Use Agreement Between Conejo Valley Unified School District and Conejo Recreation and Park District for Three Sports Courts at Los Cerritos Middle School, and Making Related California Environmental Quality Act Findings
Meeting

Category
5. ACTION ITEMS – GENERAL – BUSINESS SERVICES
Type
Action

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education (Board) approve a Facilities Use Agreement with the Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) for futsal courts at Los Cerritos Middle School?

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Education Code Sections 10900, et seq., authorize districts having powers to provide recreation, and cities, counties, and school districts to organize, promote, and conduct joint programs of community recreation, inclusive of constructing and improving recreation centers within and without their territorial limits.  CRPD would like to convert three existing tennis courts located at Los Cerritos Middle School property to a multipurpose use, including tennis and futsal, and operate community recreation programs on the courts after school hours.  As reported to the Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on April 4, 2017, futsal is similar to soccer, but utilizes a hard court similar to a tennis court. 

 

Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) and CRPD previously discussed a joint use agreement for the courts.  The attached Facilities Use Agreement would supersede and replace in its entirety the prior agreement, which was executed in June 2015.  The attached Facilities Use Agreement provides that CRPD will be solely responsible for funding and constructing the improvements, which includes resurfacing and restriping three of the seven existing asphalt tennis courts at Los Cerritos Middle School; adding six lights to the courts (while leaving the existing two lights in place), adding fencing between two courts, installing a small cargo container for storage of equipment, and creating a new accessible walkway from the disabled parking location to the existing tennis court access gate.  CRPD has already obtained Division of State Architect approval of the project plans.

 

The attached Facilities Use Agreement also provides that CVUSD would have priority use of the three courts, including full use of the three courts during school hours.  CRPD would have access to the courts from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekends, holidays, and days when school is not in session, pursuant to an annual schedule provided to CVUSD.  CRPD would assume all maintenance and expenses related to use of the courts.  The term is for 10 years, with the possibility of up to two five-year extensions.  The revised agreement includes updated provisions (e.g., current insurance and indemnity provisions).  The agreement must be approved by the governing boards of CVUSD and CRPD.  CRPD anticipates considering this matter at its board meeting on April 20, 2017.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

  1. Approve Facilities Use Agreement, as submitted.
  2. Approve Facilities Use Agreement, subject to amendments or revisions.
  3. Do not approve Facilities Use Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Alternative #1

 

RATIONALE:

 

The current version of the agreement includes updated terms and conditions.  The attached resolution also includes California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings and authorizes District administration to file a notice of exemption regarding the project.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

CRPD will pay for construction, regular maintenance and repair, and insurance.  During the term of the agreement, CRPD will use the improvement at no cost due to the fact that CRPD is funding the construction.  However, CRPD will pay electricity costs during CRPD’s usage.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve the Technology Master Plan?

 

BACKGROUND:

 

Board Policy 0440 mandates that the Superintendent or designee shall develop a three to five-year technology plan.  Districts adopt Technology Plans in order to ensure quality educational outcomes when planning for the purchase, implementation, professional development, and use of technology.  This plan identifies four overarching goals that each school site will use in the design and ongoing updates to their three-year school technology plans.  The master plan also addresses the infrastructure and support needs required to utilize and maintain technology throughout the district.  A single plan that encompasses all aspects of technology vision, integration, the technology lifecycle, safety and security, and support needs is a necessary resource.

 

Jerome Staszewski, Director, Technology Services, will present the Technology Master Plan and be available for questions.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

  1. Approve the Technology Master Plan, as submitted.
  2. Approve the Technology Master Plan, as amended.
  3. Do not approve the Technology Master Plan, as submitted.

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Alternative #1

 

RATIONALE:

 

The proposed Technology Master Plan reflects the District technology vision as clarified through stakeholder feedback.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

Ann N. Bonitatibus, Ed.D.

ISSUE:

 

The Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) leadership team intends to regularly brief the Board of Education (Board) on progress related to Conejo Valley High School (CVHS) and District Office (DO) relocation projects.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

At its March 14, 2017 Discussion Session, the Board sought information on fiscal, facility and programmatic features associated with relocating CVHS.  The proposal to move CVHS to the South Building on Janss Road would necessitate relocating select district offices while renovating other buildings on Janss Road.  Impending projects will be phased, so it is important to staff that regular updates on processes, budgets and progress are provided to the Board.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

Not applicable

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Not applicable

 

RATIONALE:

 

The CVUSD leadership team wishes to be proactive and transparent in keeping the Board and community informed.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,
