ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve amendments to Board Policy & Administrative Regulation 5116.1 – Intradistrict Open Enrollment?
BACKGROUND:
California Education Codes 35160.5 and 48980 require that the Governing Board review the intradistrict administrative regulations annually. The school choice committee has met and studied the current policy and regulations. The committee reviewed and discussed the following information: Sibling priority, Employee priority, Lottery selection process, Magnet/academy choice priority and application deadlines.
In addition, the committee discussed and proposed a continuum of Interdistrict (Out of District) priority options for Board of Education consideration. Historically, Interdistrict students received no priority in the School Choice process other than a sibling priority at magnet schools. In years past, Interdistrict requests without sibling priority were approved only after internal CVUSD wait lists were exhausted.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve amendments to Board Policy & Administrative Regulation 5116.1 – Intradistrict Open Enrollment, as submitted.
2. Approve amendments to Board Policy & Administrative Regulation 5116.1 – Intradistrict Open Enrollment, as amended.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education adopt a resolution censuring Board member Betsy Connolly for her violation of Board Bylaws and her pattern of derogatory public comments toward parents, members of the community and fellow Board members as demonstrated by her conduct on social media toward public speakers and a school board candidate, as well as the misuse of her school board and district email contact list to send out a political letter defaming the school board?
BACKGROUND:
On October 17, 2017, Board member Connolly posted a picture on a public social media group of a public speaker and made disparaging remarks regarding this public speaker.
On August 21, 2018, Board member Connolly wrote discriminatory remarks on a public social media account regarding the religious beliefs of a school board candidate.
On August 29, 2018, Board member Connolly unethically used her district and board member email contact list to send out a political email that disparaged fellow board members.
On September 6, 2018, after enduring criticism during public comments at the Board meeting of September 4, as well as enduring similar criticism in the form of a public letter by the same community member to a local newspaper, Board member Connolly engaged in a social media conversation that mocked this parent and her comments.
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
Alternative 1
RATIONALE:
Board member Connolly’s social media conduct is inconsistent with the expectation that board members provide a positive example for students and community members who should be able to look to public school board officials as a role model for healthy and positive social media behavior. Board member Connolly’s conduct on social media modeled cyber bullying behavior. Board member Connolly’s discriminatory social media remarks regarding the religious beliefs of a school board candidate reflect poorly on herself and on the school district. Board member Connolly’s unethical use of her board and district email contact list is an embarrassment to the district, divisive and unbecoming of a board member. Board member Connolly’s conduct violated Board Bylaw 9005 and 9010 as well as ignored Education Code 220. The Board desires, through the adoption of this resolution, to communicate to the residents of this district that Board members should publicly conduct themselves with the highest degree of dignity and demonstrate sensitivity to and respect for all world views and belief systems. The Board also wishes to communicate that Board member Connolly’s afore-mentioned conduct is unacceptable and condemned by the Board of Education as such behavior reflects poorly on the CVUSD and is inconsistent with the Conejo Way.

ISSUE?
Should the Board of Education ratify the termination of the District’s contract with Crown Castle for the provision of wide area network services?
BACKGROUND:
In 2013, the District entered into a wide area network ("WAN") service agreement with Sunesys, LLC (now Crown Castle). The agreement required Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle to execute any and all requisite agreements, licenses, right of way permits and other authorizations from the City of Thousand Oaks (the "City") before WAN service commenced in 2015. Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle was also obligated to obtain these authorizations under the City of Thousand Oaks Municipal Code.
Earlier this year, the City notified Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle and the District that the Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle facilities in the City conduit were unauthorized. The City informed Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle that it needed to provide alternate service by May 25, 2018. This deadline was extended to June 15, 2018. After several meetings and opportunities to remedy the default, Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle failed to timely rectify the situation. The District lost service at 17 sites, rendering the District unable to communicate with multiple sites and adversely affecting summer school and other summer programs.
The District terminated its agreement with Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle due to the aforementioned default. At its regular Board meeting held on August 21, 2018, the Board of Education approved a new WAN agreement with Spectrum Enterprises. This action item simply ratifies the termination of the agreement with Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle, effective from the time that any relevant notice(s) of termination were provided to Sunesys, LLC/Crown Castle.
