ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education of the Conejo Valley Unified School District approve the 2019/2020 Local Control and Accountability Plan, inclusive of the Budget Overview for Parents and the Federal Addendum, as submitted?

 

INFORMATION:

 

In June 2013, the California Legislature enacted the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), the first major revision to the State's education funding formula in over 40 years. As a component of the LCFF legislation, the Legislature required that all school districts develop a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP is intended to be a strategic planning document detailing the school district's planned goals, actions and expenditures to improve student outcomes and performance. It is to be developed with extensive input and feedback from the stakeholder groups in the school district and community.

 

A draft LCAP must be presented for a public hearing prior to the adoption of the annual school district budget, and must be approved by the local Board of Education (Board) at the same meeting at which the annual budget is approved. The LCAP must be written and presented to stakeholders and the Board of Education utilizing a template and format created by the California Department of Education.  The LCAP must address all of the State's education priorities, including Conditions of Learning, Pupil Outcomes and Engagement.

 

This past school year, District administrative staff met with each school principal to discuss their site’s student performance data and Single Plan for Student Achievement in an effort to attain alignment to our District’s LCAP.  Also, the LCAP was discussed with the District Advisory Council (DAC) as it relates to student and parent engagement, LCAP goals, LCAP actions and services.  The Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services provided an LCAP update during the May DAC meeting.

 

As part of the ongoing process, LCAP presentations and updates were made available to the School Board on a monthly basis. Finally, the Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services previewed a proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 LCAP update on May 21, 2019.

 

As noted with the LCAP proposed updates given to the Board on May 21, 2019, a public hearing will be held for community input on June 4, 2019. Concurrently, the proposed budget will also be presented for information and public participation. A copy of the full 2019/2020 LCAP draft is currently posted on the District's website www.conejousd.org and is available for review upon request. Board action adopting the 2019/2020 LCAP and budget will occur on June 18, 2019.

Recommended Action
Approve the 2019-2020 Proposed Budget for the General and Ancillary Funds, as submitted.

ISSUE:

 

Following a public hearing on June 4, 2019, to receive comment on the 2019-2020 Proposed Budget, should the Board of Education approve the 2019-2020 Proposed Budget?

 

INFORMATION:

 

The Education Code requires the Board of Education adopt a budget no later than June 30 for the next fiscal year. Notice of a Public Hearing must be duly published and posted in accordance with District procedures.

 

The Proposed Budget is available in the District Offices and on the Board of Education meeting agenda, which is available on the District website at www.conejousd.org.  The 2019-2020 Budget is based upon revenue projections reflecting the information received from the Governor’s proposed 2019-2020 budget and the Governor’s May revise budget adjustments.

 

Until the Legislature approves the provisions of the May Revise and the Governor signs those provisions, the District must use the May revision to project its budget. Once these provisions have been approved by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, the District may have to make appropriate modifications to the Proposed Budget.  Upon the Governor signing the Final State Budget, further discussions concerning budget issues will need to take place, and if necessary, a detailed presentation will be made at that time.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

Estimated General Fund Revenues: $188,311,667

Projected General Fund Expenses: $195,172,440

Approve Resolution #18/19-31: Education Protection Account (EPA) Spending Plan for 2019-2020, as submitted.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education adopt Resolution #18/19-31: Approval of Education Protection Account (EPA) Spending Plan 2019-2020?

 

INFORMATION:

 

Proposition 30, The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012, approved by the voters on November 6, 2012, temporarily increased the state's sales tax rate for all taxpayers and the personal income tax rates for upper-income taxpayers.  A portion of the new revenues are to be used to increase school funding, with the remainder helping to balance the state budget.

 

The new revenues generated from Proposition 30 are deposited into a newly created state account called the Education Protection Account (EPA). School districts, county offices of education, and charter schools (LEAs) will receive funds from the EPA based on their proportionate share of the statewide revenue limit amount, which includes charter school general purpose funding. A corresponding reduction is made to an LEA’s revenue limit or charter school general purpose state aid equal to the amount of their EPA entitlement.

 

Proposition 30 specifies that LEAs may not use EPA funds for salaries or benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs. The CDE has interpreted that administrative costs, as used in Proposition 30, mean anything defined as administration in the California School Accounting Manual. Administrative costs include general administration, school administration, and instructional administration:

  • General administration refers to agency-wide administrative activities including governing board, superintendent, and district-level fiscal, personnel, and central support services.
  • School administration refers to activities concerned with directing and managing the operation of a particular school.
  • Instructional administration refers to activities for assisting instructional staff in planning, developing, and evaluating the process of providing learning experiences for students.

The language of Proposition 30 requires that each LEA " . . . shall have sole authority to determine how the moneys received from the Education Protection Account are spent in the school or schools within its jurisdiction, provided, however, that the appropriate governing board or body shall make these spending determinations in open session of a public meeting of the governing board or body and shall not use any of the funds from the Education Protection Account for salaries or benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs."

 

Proposition 30 requires all districts, counties, and charter schools to report on their websites an accounting of how much money was received from the EPA and how that money was spent.

Recommended Action
Approval of blanket authorization for contract change orders not to exceed statutory limits for summer construction work, as submitted.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve a blanket authorization for Contract Change Orders not to exceed statutory limits for summer construction work?

 

INFORMATION:

 

Pursuant to Public Contract Code 20118.4, the Board of Education may authorize changes to Public Works Contracts without the formality of securing bids if the cost does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the original contract price or the legal bid limit of $15,000, whichever amount is greater.  Normal practice is to present all contractual changes which fall under these parameters to the Board of Education for approval as they occur.  However, the brief time frame allocated for summer work and the summer schedule of Board meetings impacts the ability of the Business Services department to authorize payments for work performed on a timely basis.  It is therefore requested that the Board of Education provide blanket authorization to the Business Services department to process change orders which do not exceed the statutory limits set forth in Public Contract Code 20118.4.  This authorization would be granted only for the period of June 1, 2019, through September 30, 2019.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

Change orders, if required, cannot exceed the statutory limit of ten percent (10%) of contract value or $15,000 (whichever amount is greater) under this authorization.

Should the Board of Education approve the Facilities Agreement with BRIDGES Charter School at the former Park Oaks Elementary School site?

 

INFORMATION:

 

On October 31, 2018, BRIDGES Charter School submitted a request for facilities under Proposition 39 pursuant to Cal. Admin. Code, title 5, § 11969.9(c).  The Charter School’s request for facilities was based upon a projected total ADA of 342.95.  On November 30, 2018, the District, under Cal. Admin. Code, title 5, § 11969.9(d), responded to BRIDGES’ facilities request and stated that it would not issue a counter-projection to the Charter School’s projections.

 

Education Code § 47614 and the implementing regulations obligate the District to offer space sufficient to accommodate the Charter School’s in-District students. However, continuing the practice offered by the District years ago, the District will base its facilities offer on the Charter School’s total classroom ADA, including out-of-District students. The Facilities Agreement grants use of facilities, furnishings and equipment at Park Oaks Elementary School, located at 1335 Calle Bouganvilla, Thousand Oaks, CA, 91360, through the 2020 school year.

Goal N/A

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve participation in bids/contracts of other public agencies, (school districts, cities, and government agencies), cooperatives, purchasing contracts (piggyback), California Multiple Awards Schedule (CMAS), and other approved California State contracts, when applicable, for the 2019-2020 fiscal year?

 

INFORMATION:

 

Many public agencies and other school districts agree to permit school districts to “piggyback” on their bids and contracts. This allows for cooperative purchasing by many state agencies. Purchases made by this authorization are typically for supplies, equipment, consumable materials, furniture and miscellaneous items. This does not preempt a school district the right to bid and procure on its own, but provides alternate resources. Authorization to participate does not include facilities improvement, construction or Public Works projects.

 

Per Public Contract Code 20118.2(a): Due to the highly specialized and unique nature of technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software, and services, because products and materials of that nature are undergoing rapid technological changes, and in order to allow for the introduction of new technological changes into the operations of the school district, it is in the public’s best interest to allow a school district to consider, in addition to the price, factors such as vendor financing, performance reliability, standardization, life-cycle costs, delivery timetables, support logistics, the broadest possible range of competing products and materials available, fitness of purchase, manufacturer’s warranties, and similar factors in the award of contracts for technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software, and services. This section only applies to procurement, and not construction. Subsections of PCC 20118.1 and 20118.2(d) authorize school districts to procure such products through competitive negotiations.

CVUSD receives updates to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations from GAMUT.  GAMUT is a policy update service offered through the California School Boards Association (CSBA) which provides information about new laws and court opinions which may affect Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and Board Bylaws.

 

The amendment of Board Policy 3100 reflects new law (AB 1808), which requires districts to annually develop, adopt, and post an LCFF budget overview for parents/guardians and to file the budget overview with the county superintendent of schools. The section on "Long-Term Financial Obligations" was revised to reflect new law (SB 1413), which establishes the California Employers' Pension Prefunding Trust Program to allow districts to prefund required contributions to the California Public Employees' Retirement System. The amendment of Administrative Regulation 3100 emphasizes that any recommendations by the budget advisory committee should be consistent with the district's vision, goals, priorities, LCAP, and other comprehensive plans, and to clarify that a regional budget review committee convened by the county superintendent of schools requires approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction as well as the District Board.

The Regulation is also revised to more directly reflect the most recent CDE fiscal advisory regarding student fees.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education approve the amendment of Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 3515.4 – Recovery for Property Loss or Damage?

 

INFORMATION:

 

CVUSD receives updates to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations from GAMUT.  GAMUT is a policy update service offered through the California School Boards Association (CSBA) which provides information about new laws and court opinions which may affect Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and Board Bylaws.

 

The amendment to Board Policy 3515.4 reflects the 2019 limits for parent/guardian liability for property loss or damage caused by a child's willful misconduct and for any reward paid for information leading to the identification of persons responsible for property damage. The Administrative Regulation is updated to reflect the requirement to offer an option for a student to provide work in lieu of payment when the parents/guardians are unable to pay, and AB 1974 which allows the district, at its discretion, to offer any student, regardless of ability to pay, a nonmonetary means to settle debt. The Regulation also adds a paragraph allowing the district to withhold a student's grades, diplomas, or transcripts until the damages have been recovered. The section on "Payment of Reward" has been deleted and key concepts have been moved to the Board Policy.
