ISSUE:

 

The Board of Education shall hold a public hearing on the Disclosure of Collective Bargaining Agreement (AB 1200) for 2019-20.

 

BACKGROUND:
 

The District has reached tentative Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) with CSEA, UACT and CVPPA.  The agreements include a change in compensation, and Government Code Section 3547.5 requires that the public is made aware of the costs associated with a tentative collective bargaining agreement before it becomes binding on the District.  The law established the attached document, known as Assembly Bill (AB 1200), as the vehicle to detail these costs, and substantiates that the District can meet the financial obligation of the CBA, including positive certification by Superintendent Dr. McLaughlin and Dr. Victor Hayek, Deputy Superintendent, Business Services.  The CBA and accompanying AB 1200 calculations effectively cover all classified and certificated employees, including classified management, certificated management, confidential employees, and the Board of Education.  The District and Associations began contract negotiations in September 2019 and reached Tentative Agreements on salary and benefits for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 school years in February 2020. The proposed Tentative Agreements provide for a two and one-half percent (2.5%) increase to the 2019-20 salary schedule, a two percent (2.0%) increase to the 2020-2021 salary schedule, and a two percent (2.0%) increase to the 2021-2022 salary schedule for all Association members.  The District and Associations agree that a multi-year agreement assists in the budgeting process. The tentative agreement states that should there be substantial changes in state funding, parties agree to open salary negotiations.

 

A public hearing precedes the consideration of the agreement noted on Item 3B of the current agenda.  The AB 1200 disclosure, along with copies of the Tentative Agreements, have been forwarded to the Ventura County Office of Education for review.  

 

RATIONALE:

 

The Disclosure of Collective Bargaining Agreement (AB 1200) requires local education agencies to publicly disclose the provisions of all collective bargaining agreements.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

The financial impact of the Tentative Agreements are described in detail in the Public Disclosure of Collective Bargaining document that is being presented to the Board of Education for approval.

BACKGROUND:
 

The District and Associations began contract negotiations in September 2019 and reached Tentative Agreements on salary and benefits for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 school years in February 2020.

The tentative agreement states that should there be substantial changes in state funding, parties agree to open salary negotiations.  Prior to approval and pursuant to the Disclosure of Collective Bargaining Agreement (AB 1200), the Board of Education must conduct a Public Hearing on the proposed agreements.  The details of the Tentative Agreements are outlined in the documents that follow.  Traditionally, the Board has provided Classified Management, Certificated Management and Confidential Employees with similar salary increases provided to represented employees, and staff is recommending that the Board grant the increase for these groups.   

 

RATIONALE:

 

The agreements allow the District to maintain comparable compensation in order to be able to attract and retain quality employees.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

The financial impact of the Tentative Agreements are described in detail in the Public Disclosure of Collective Bargaining document that was considered by the Board of Education on Agenda Item 3A.

Approve Resolution #19/20-21: Authorizing the Borrowing of Funds for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and the Issuance and Sale of One or More Series of 2020-2021 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs), as submitted.

ISSUE:

 

Should the Board of Education participate in the California School Cash Reserve Program and authorize the borrowing of funds for fiscal year 2020-2021 through the issuance and sale of one or more series of 2020-2021 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs)?

 

INFORMATION:

 

Due to inconsistency in tax revenue collections and subsequent payment to the School District, borrowing funds is necessary for the District to meet its financial obligations.  By passing the resolution before the Board, the District will have the opportunity to participate in the California School Cash Reserve Program sponsored by California School Boards Association Finance Corporation. The Program issues TRANs for more than half of all California school districts, community college districts, and county offices of education that issue TRANs.

 

Through participation in the Cash Reserve Program, the District will be able to issue a tax and revenue anticipation note as part of a cost-effective pooled structure. An overview of this cash management concept and the Program is provided below:

 

Cash Reserve Program Background: The first Cash Reserve Program as issued in June of 1988 for six districts with an aggregate issue amount of $9.6 million. Since that time, the Program has grown dramatically in size, servicing the majority of California school district TRANs issuers. Each year, the Program has resulted in a significant benefit to the participants. The highlights of the Program are as follows:

Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs): TRANs are short-term debt instruments issued by school districts throughout the State to create an additional reserve to the general fund. In our District, this reserve will act as a cushion to the general fund in the event that we experience temporary cash flow needs. These cash flow needs may occur as a result of the timing mismatch between the receipt of revenues (generally received in an uneven fashion) and the expenditure of general fund moneys (generally paid out in a more level fashion).

 

TRANs Economics: Through our participation in the Program, the District will issue a tax-exempt note. The proceeds from the sale of this note, when not needed for cash flow, are invested in a taxable investment. This may result in a positive spread between the borrowing rate and the investment return on the TRAN proceeds.

Cash Reserve Program Process:

The Cash Reserve Program involves the following key steps in order to participate:

  1. Adoption of Resolution: Adoption of the resolution does not obligate the District to participate in the Program. The resolution simply delegates to the administration the right to decide on participation.
  2. Cash Flow and Credit Background Process: Participants submit a completed credit questionnaire and financial information (including audits, budget, and second-period interim cash flow report) that is used to develop an initial pro-forma cash flow statement for 2019-2020. Participants review, revise, and approve their cash flow statement in consultation with Dale Scott & Company, the Program's Financial Advisor. The cash flows are reviewed by Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, the Program's Bond Counsel.
  3. Sale of TRANs: The pricing of the issue is anticipated to occur in mid-June. At that time, the interest rate on the notes will be locked-in. Our District is not obligated to participate until it acknowledges issuance after the sale of the TRANs.
  4. Closing: Closing of the issue will occur in early July. Our District will have access to the proceeds of the TRANs available to meet our temporary cash flow needs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

Estimated interest: $350,000

Should the Board of Education approve amendments to Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5117 – Interdistrict Attendance?

 

INFORMATION:

 

The Board Policy is updated to reflect new law (AB 1127) which requires districts to provide transportation assistance to transfer students who are victims of bullying or are children of active duty military parents/guardians, if they are also eligible for free or reduced-priced meals.  The Administrative Regulation is updated to reflect provisions of AB 1127 which (1) prohibit consideration of specified characteristics when selecting students for transfer who are victims of bullying or children of active duty military parents/guardians, and (2) require a district to accept a transfer out of the district for a victim of bullying if the district has only one school offering the student's grade level.

 

A new item in the Administrative Regulation addresses the responsibility of the County Board to consider an appeal submitted by a student's parent/guardian when a school district denies a request for interdistrict attendance or fails to provide written notification of its decision within prescribed timelines. The Administrative Regulation includes circumstances under which the County Board cannot consider an appeal, the common practice to hold a hearing giving both the parents/guardians and the district(s) the opportunity to present their respective positions on the denial of the permit, and the timelines and criteria for making a final determination to grant or deny the appeal.

None.
