Should the Board of Education approve the new contract with The Core Collaborative?
INFORMATION:
The Core Collaborative and Thousand Oaks High School are participating in Impact Team Professional Development with a trained facilitator. These trainings will be held vitually over the following dates:
September 29, 2021 (1 hr)
November 3, 2021 (6 hrs)
February 16, 2022 (1 hr)
March 18, 2022 (6 hrs)
May 18, 2022 (1 hr)
Impact Teams utilize consistent and structured protocols to create a high-functioning, high impact dynamic by putting attention on influences that will improve student learning. To help prevent teams from sliding into the unproductive high-functioning, low-impact arena, Paul Bloomberg and Barb Pitchford designed a specific three-step protocol to guide the work of teams. The Evidence-Analysis-Action (EAA) protocol sets teams up for inquiry through the collaborative analysis of evidence to create actionable next steps, and helps teams stay focused on the right student-facing questions. Having these predictable, protocol-based patterns in place allows teachers to spend more time leveraging evidence-based feedback. In addition to guiding the team’s inquiry, the Impact Team Model protocols create recurring opportunities for teachers to draw on their own strengths and experience by contributing their knowledge, creativity, and skills.
FISCAL IMPACT:

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve new Board Policy 6159 and Amendments to Administrative Regulation 6159 - Individualized Education Program?
INFORMATION:
This policy includes the requirement, formerly in BP/AR 0430 - Comprehensive Local Plan for Special Education, to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to students who have been suspended or expelled from school or who are placed by the district in a nonpublic, nonsectarian school. The policy also adds the requirement to provide FAPE to individuals age 18-21 who are incarcerated in an adult correctional facility if they had been identified as students with disabilities or had an individualized education program (IEP) in their prior educational placement.
The regulation updates the section on "Contents of the IEP" to consolidate lists of IEP requirements for clarity. The regulation reflects law (SB 98, 2020) which requires the IEP to describe the means by which the IEP will be provided under emergency conditions in which instruction and/or services cannot be provided to the student at school or in person for more than 10 school days. The regulation also reflects law (AB 947, 2019) which (1) authorizes districts to consider elements of the "expanded core curriculum," as defined, when developing an IEP for a student who is blind, has low vision, or is visually impaired, and (2) establishes requirements for orientation and mobility evaluations conducted for such students. In addition, the regulation also reflects law (AB 605, 2019) which requires districts to provide assistive technology devices for use in a student's home or other setting when required by the student's IEP, and requires that such students be given continued access to assistive technology devices for up to two months after transferring out of the district. The section on "Parent/Guardian Consent for Provision of Special Education and Services" has been revised to more directly reflect law.

In accordance with California Senate Bill 328, commencing July 1, 2022, high schools shall begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. and middle schools shall begin no earlier than 8:00 a.m. This section does not prohibit a school district or charter school from offering classes or activities to a limited number of pupils before the start of the schoolday that do not generate average daily attendance for purposes of computing any apportionments of state funding. SB 328 only impacts the current bell schedules for Newbury Park High School, Thousand Oaks High School, and Westlake High School, requiring new bell schedules for the 2022-2023 school year.
This year, school staff developed and approved new bell schedules in compliance with SB 328. The development of a new bell schedule is a site-based decision, requiring a 70% approval of faculty in accordance with the current UACT Collective Bargaining Agreement Article 9, Section L (2007).
