ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education ratify the 2023-2024 bell schedules for Los Cerritos Middle School?
INFORMATION:
To increase intervention opportunities across all subject areas, Los Cerritos Middle School is proposing a change in bell schedule to adjust the current Response to Intervention (RTI) time held every Wednesday and Thursday for 25 min after lunch to provide intervention in all classes on a Wednesday minimum day. As part of this proposed schedule, students will receive Tier 2 intervention that involves reteaching, review, and/or extension of content during their scheduled class period on a weekly basis. Teachers will plan meaningful and data-informed learning opportunities for students during this “Flex Day” focused on the needs of their students. Staff developed and approved the new bell schedule with a 90% vote. Input was gathered from School Site Council and PTSA.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education adopt a resolution declaring June 19, 2023 as Juneteenth Independence Day?
INFORMATION:
The nineteenth of June has been observed as "Juneteenth" to commemorate the joyous events of June 19, 1865, and Juneteenth celebrations have occurred in states across the United States. "Juneteenth" and similar Emancipation Day observances formally recognize the abolition of slavery. Americans of all colors, creeds, cultures, religions, and countries of origin share a common love of, and respect for freedom, as well as the determination to protect their right to freedom through the democratic institutions by which the tenants of freedom are guaranteed and protected. Current events in our nation are a reminder that people of color, particularly African Americans, have not been afforded the same opportunities promised by the Declaration of Independence, including the unalienable rights of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The State of California, the United States Congress, and President Biden have designated June 19 as a special day of observance to recognize the emancipation of all enslaved people in the United States and to support a nationwide celebration of the Juneteenth Independence Day.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education adopt a resolution recognizing the Tulsa Race Massacre that occurred May 31 through June 1, 1921, in Tulsa, Oklahoma?
INFORMATION:
The Tulsa Race Massacre took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, in a prosperous Black community in the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event is considered one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American History. When the violence ceased, 35 city blocks lay in charred ruins, approximately 300 people were dead, and 10,000 Black residents were left homeless. To date, none of the Black survivors, their families, or the families of the victims have received compensation for the horrific act upon them and their community.
On May 1, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden signed a proclamation declaring May 31st as a day of remembrance for the Tulsa Race Massacre. President Biden called upon "the American people to reflect on the deep roots of racial terror in our Nation and recommit to the work of rooting out systemic racism across our country."
Conejo Valley Unified School District stands in solidarity with the victims and the survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre and commits to contributing to the education of this American tragedy.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve the amendments to Board Policy 4140/4240 - Bargaining Units?
INFORMATION:
CVUSD receives updates to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations from GAMUT. GAMUT is a policy update service offered through California School Boards Association (CSBA), which provides information about new laws and court opinions which may affect Board Policies, Administrative Regulations and Board Bylaws.
Board Policy 4140/4240 - Bargaining Units has been updated to reflect new law (SB 270, 2021) which allows a district 20 days to cure a violation of the district's employee information disclosure obligation when a district is notified by an employee organization, and limits district opportunity to cure a violation that involves the provision of an inaccurate or incomplete list to three times in any 12-month period. The policy was also updated to reflect new law (SB 191, 2022) which provides additional obligations for a district when an "in-person orientation" cannot be held by the district. Additionally, the policy updates include a heading change from "Access to Employee Orientations" to "Access to New Employee Orientation" and clarifies language in both the employee orientation section and the "Formation of Bargaining Unit" section.

ISSUE:
Should the Board of Education approve the contracts under $5,000 listed below?
INFORMATION:
Education Code 17604 states “wherever in this code the power to contract is invested in the governing board of the school district or any member thereof, the power may by a majority vote of the board be delegated to its district superintendent, or to any persons that he or she may designate, or if there be no district superintendent then to any other officer or employee of the district that the board may designate. The delegation of power may be limited as to time, money or subject matter or may be a blanket authorization in advance of its exercise, all as the governing board may direct. However, no contract made pursuant to the delegation and authorization shall be valid or constitute an enforceable obligation against the district unless and until the same shall have been approved or ratified by the governing board, the approval or ratification to be evidenced by a motion of the board duly passed and adopted.” Therefore, all contracts are presented to the Board of Education for approval. Contracts over $5,000 will be presented individually as a separate Board agenda item.
