  15. 5.1 Budget Update
    Minutes
    The District adopted its 2013-2014 budget on June 25, 2013, based on the traditional revenue limit model. At that time, the State Legislature was reviewing the Governor?s proposed budget based on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The Governor signed the 2013-2014 LCFF State Budget Act on June 27, 2013. Per Education Code 42127 (i)(4) not later than 45 days after the Governor signs the annual Budget Act, the school district shall make available for public review any revisions in revenues and expenditures that it has made to its budget to reflect the funding made available by the Budget Act. Associate Superintendent of Business and Operations, Song Chin-Bendib, provided a presentation to the Board regarding the Governor?s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the 2013-2014 Budget and specific impact to the San Leandro Unified School District. The presentation included a brief overview of the national and California economies, and an overview of the following budget themes: Passage of Proposition 30 endures no cuts to education The state Budget is legitimately balanced for the first time since 2002 The structural deficit has been eliminated for the duration of Proposition 30 New tax rates on highest-income earners beginning in 2012 through 2018 (7 years) Increases state's sales tax rate by one-quarter cent beginning this year through 2016 (4 years) Common Core Standards (CCSS) have been adopted Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) is the cornerstone of the Governor's budget In addition, Associate Superintendent Chin-Bendib addressed key points centered on Proposition 98, which establishes the minimum funding level for K-14 education, and the LCFF, noting that school districts will face vastly different levels of risk during the implementation phase of the LCFF: School districts experiencing significant annual funding gains can face major declines as well Multiyear contracts that assume high annual increases in LCFF revenues could fall out of balance when/if state LCFF appropriations fall State Budget priorities can change from year to year with no guarantee that LCFF growth will be provided or that the LCFF will be fully funded The LCFF revenue model leads to an entirely new way of thinking about revenues, reserve, balances and planning for the future In addition, the Associate Superintendent gave a brief overview of the nationwide initiative, Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which establishes a single set of standards of K-12 education in English language arts and mathematics to ensure college and career readiness. To implement CCSS, the State Budget provides $1.25 billion in one-time funds from 2012-13. Funds will be allocated based on prior-year enrollment and are estimated to be about $200 per student (about $1.7M for San Leandro Unified). Funds will be apportioned in July 2013 (50%) and August (50%) and districts must develop and adopt an expenditure plan detailing how the funds shall be spent. In addition, a public hearing must be held on the plan and a detailed expenditure report must be submitted to the California Department of Education on or before July 1, 2015. The Board thanked staff for getting the information together and offered comments and questions, which were addressed by staff.

    Quick Summary / Staff Recommendation
    Approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between San Leandro Unified School District, Alameda County Office of Education, and Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services Agency for Educationally Related Mental Health Services for 2012-2014
    Background Information
    The State of California eliminated the funding model for school mental health services two years ago (May of 2011). At that time, school districts needed to select a vendor to continue to provide the services. The Mid-Alameda County SELPA and Alameda County Office of Education selected Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services Agency (ACBHCS) as the vendor. ACBHCS was the provider prior to the change, so services would be kept consistent. This MOU serves our students with disabilities and include assessments, assessment reports, IEP attendance, case management, consultations, individual and group therapy, and crisis intervention. The MOU runs from July 2012 through June 2014.

    Approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between San Leandro Unified School District and Bay Area Community Resources (BACR) for the San Leandro High School and Lincoln High School 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) and After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETS) Programs for the 2013-2014 School Year
    Policy / Code
    Board Policy 5123 Promotion/Acceleration/Intervention/Retention
    Background Information
    In the 2013-2014 school year, the District will be in year five, which is the last year of the grant award for the 21st Century After School Education and Safety for Teens (ASSETS) grant. As part of the grant application, SLUSD indicated it would "include partners with proven success at maintaining a high level of student engagement." The need to expand a partnership with a large non-profit with proven success in running 21st Century funded sites has now become paramount to the continued success of sustaining the grant through year four and five and hopefully beyond. Bay Area Community Resources (BACR) has proven its ability to accomplish such a partnership throughout the Bay Area in the field of after school programs. Bay Area Community Resources has a longstanding and ongoing record of success in developing and operating effective after-school programs (ASPs) around the Bay Area. Today they serve more than 6,000 children and youth in grades K-12 daily in over 75 school-based ASPs in San Rafael, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Pablo, Antioch, Mt. Diablo district and Alameda. Both school sites contracted with BACR during this past spring, which was highly successful. Serving as the primary Community Based Organization (CBO) partner at both San Leandro High School and Lincoln High School, has underscored the value of their role in ensuring high quality programming and compliance for SLUSD's ASSETS grant. Expanding their role in the District to include oversight of programming at San Leandro High is a natural extension at this juncture. While ASSETS programming has consistently met attendance targets, the need to have further daily oversight of program functions is needed. The proposed MOU will also enable BACR to provide a program director, program manager, program assistant, part time staff and volunteers. Additionally, a BACR partnership at SLHS and Lincoln will position the District more competitively to apply for a 21st Century grant renewal (for which an application is due in Fall 2013). BACR continues to bring to the table its expertise as a $27.5 million dollar agency, employing over 900 people. Their access to the best pool of staff, volunteers, training, and best practices in the field of after school offers tremendous potential for the continued success of the grant at both school sites, which has been an ongoing challenge for us. An agency that has been in the business of providing after school programs for over thirty years, brings not only their expertise, but increased leverage for the long-range view of sustainability in a climate of moving targets of categorical funding. Large non-profits also leverage outside funding not available to school districts. BACR brings to the table a high quality, multi-tiered infrastructure. This infrastructure will help stream-line the program as we enter the last year of this grant and position the District to continue offering high school after school programs beyond 2013-2014. The MOU for the 2013-2014 at San Leandro High and Lincoln High is for $303,263 funded from the ASSETS grant. Consistent with the District's MOU with other CBO partners in after school, "BACR will recruit, screen, employ and administratively support all instructional staff for the program with the exception of SLUSD employees." The proposed MOU is between the District and the agency (BACR) and BACR will determine all hourly rates for their employees. BACR staff will be able to provide site observations, professional development, grant target monitoring, and coaching that the District does not have the capacity to provide. As one of the largest providers for after school in the Bay Area, they come with a large network of after school expertise that will continue to benefit the District in the after school arena. Finally, the MOU will enable BACR to subcontract for an outside evaluator as expected by the grant guidelines. An outside evaluator will help the district with the guidance of BACR, create the most competitive application for another five-year grant cycle this coming fall. To summarize, through this contract, we will gain coordination program support, an outside evaluation process, access to a range of qualified programs, and oversight from a program manager, all of which will provide our District a strong position for ASSETS grant reapplication.

    Background Information
    The contracted services agreement with the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) was included in the 2008 GEAR UP Grant approved application to provide college-going services for students. EAOP has been a vital part of increasing the number of students who are eligible to attend the CSU and UC systems at SLHS for over seven years, and since GEAR UP has partnered with EAOP, we have increased the number of students and families who have access to college planning and advising. We have also created/sustained programs to support students, staff, and families such as: College Night, Open House sessions focused on college topics, Pathways to College Workshop, a College Fair, PSAT Academy, college field trips, summer programming, and professional development for staff on the A-G requirements and college preparation, etc. We want to continue these programs for the 2013-2014 school year as well as expand our services to increase student leadership around college preparation and information. This agreement supports a college coordinator, several intern coordinators, and various programs for over 300 students as outlined in Exhibit A of the agreement.

  38. 8.15 Resolution #13-45: Temporary Borrowing between Funds 📎 1
    Fiscal Impact
    Interest incurred during the period of inter-fund borrowing, if the borrowing is needed.
    To
    Mike McLaughlin, Ed.D., Superintendent
    Quick Summary / Staff Recommendation
    Adopt resolution #13-45 for Temporary Borrowing between Funds.
    Policy / Code
    Board Policy: AR 3110(a); Education Code 42603
    Background Information
    Education Code Section 42603 permits the Governing Board of any school district to direct that monies held in any fund or account may be temporarily transferred to another fund or account of the district for payment of obligations. The transfer shall be accounted for as temporary borrowing between funds and shall not be available for appropriation or be considered income to the borrowing fund. The State of California has changed the way public schools are funded with the implementation of Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) effective July 1, 2013. The intent of the new law is to improve funding equity across school districts, to increase transparency, reduce complexity and administrative burden, and to improve local a accountability. However, the initial implementation of the LCFF creates some complexities in the distribution of apportionments and it will take some time to align the apportionments with LCFF. In addition, the State is unable to buy down all prior year deferrals in 2013-2014. As a precautionary step, and in order to meet all financial obligations on a timely basis, and in order to maintain a positive cash balance all the time, Business Services therefore recommends that the Board adopt a resolution allowing temporary inter-fund cash borrowings, up to $5,000,000 for 2013-2014, in case temporary cash shortfall occurs. The General Fund will repay the current interest as designated by the County Treasurer. Staff will continue to assess and monitor the District?s cash flow vigilantly. In case cash from other funds is not adequate, staff will come back to the Board for a recommendation to issue SDAN for 2013-2014.

    Approve the Joint-Use Agreement by and between San Leandro Unified School District and Girls Incorporated of Alameda County.
    Board Committee
    Facilities and Technology Committee: January 9, 2013; March 6, 2013
    Background Information
    For the past several years, the Board has identified specific goals to address the priorities of the District. Among the six overarching goals are: Goal # 1 Educate the whole student: Ensure the academic, physical, social and emotional well-being of every student Goal # 2 Ensure the Financial Stability and Efficiency of the District Supervisor Wilma Chan?s office and Alameda County Health Care Services Agency have provided extensive support and resources in the area of behavior and mental health services to help address Goal #1. One resource included two full time behavioral health consultants who conducted a needs assessment across the district to identify services that are being provided to our students and to identify gaps in such services. From the assessment, twelve recommendations were identified, which, if implemented, would systematically help address the wide range of social and emotional needs of our students in a coordinated manner. While implementing recommendations based on the needs assessment, two important things occurred: the District became aware that the Girls Inc. building across the street from San Leandro High School would be for sale, and Supervisor Chan?s Office identified the need for a school-based health center in our district similar to what already exists in San Lorenzo, Hayward, Newark, Union City, Oakland, and Alameda. Thanks to the generosity of Supervisor Chan, who made resources available to write a grant, the District applied for a federal school-based health center grant in the amount of $500,000. One of the conditions of the grant was to have a proper facility to house the center, and also matching funds. The Board approved $500,000 in Measure B Savings be used for the school based health and wellness center and the District entered into negotiations with the Girls Inc. realtor to determine if purchase of the building was a viable option. In December 2012, the District was notified by Supervisor Chan?s Office that SLUSD would receive the grant. One critical partner in making the school-based health center a reality has been the City of San Leandro. At the City Council meeting on February 4, 2013, the City Council unanimously approved a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note by and Between the City of San Leandro and the San Leandro Unified School District to assist the District with Its Purchase of the Girls, Inc. Property Located at 13666 East 14th Street. The loan agreement provides a $1,250,000 (purchase price was $1,300,000 with $50,000 from the District as down payment) loan to the District to augment its programs and facilities, including a medical and dental clinic to serve District students and the community. On February 26, 2013, the Board approved the loan agreement. On March 13, 2013, as part of the purchase and sale agreement, Girls Inc. and SLUSD agreed that the District would lease certain office space to Girls Inc. after the close of escrow in order for Girls Inc. to continue providing under-served girls in the community with programs and counseling services. To make the school-based health center a reality, it has taken the hard work and dedication of many partners, including: Supervisor Wilma Chan?s Office (fiscal resources, staff, grant writer, leadership) Alameda County Medical Center (medical services, physical well-being of students and youth development) Alameda County School Health Services Coalition (social/emotional well-being of students Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (social/emotional well-being of students) Alameda County Behavioral Health Services (social/emotional well-being of students) Staff recommends that the Board of Education approve the Joint-Use Agreement by and between San Leandro Unified School District and Girls Incorporated of Alameda County (attached).

    Quick Summary / Staff Recommendation
    Approve increasing the Arts Education Theater Supervisor position from a .6 FTE to .7 FTE.
    Background Information
    For the 2011-2012 school year, the San Leandro Education Foundation provided the funds needed to hire a part time (.5 FTE) Theater Supervisor. The goal is for the position to be a self-sustaining, full time position. While the current theater supervisor is paid to work part time, the demands of the position are clearly more than a part time position. In fact the position demands more than a full time position and part time technical staff to support the needs of groups renting the theater. Dustin Brown, current Theater Supervisor, is to be commended for his commitment to the theater and for the time he spends meeting the needs of theater users. On June 19, 2012, the Board approved increasing this position from .5 FTE to .6 FTE based upon projected revenue from the theater rentals for the 2012-2013 school year. Actual receipts were in line with projected revenue. Staff is requesting another increase of .10 FTE for the 2013-2014 school year based on confirmed bookings of $85,000, an increase of $13,000 from last year. The cost of the .10 FTE increase including salary-driven costs is approximately $8,500 which is more than covered by the projected rental receipts. The effective date is August 7, 2013. Staff is also restating the goal to increase the position to full time pending adequate theater rental income. Upon receipt of rental confirmations allowing the position to be further increased, staff will return for approval of additional increases to the position.

    Non Applicable
    Background Information
    Since August, 2001, Girls Inc. of Alameda County has provided the GIRLStart program serving underachieving first grade girls in this after school program. This program was an innovative approach to raising the self-esteem and academic performance of the girls enrolled in the program. Girls Inc. through their fund raising efforts managed to secure sufficient funds to allow the district to purchase and install a portable classroom to house the Girls Start Program. The initial agreement between the district and Girls Inc. dated August 17, 2001, formalized how this (donation) payment to the district was to be structured. The advance payment of $60,000 was structured as if it was a rental payment of $500.00/month for 120 months. The rental agreement expired on June 30, 2011. Without this advanced payment and donation, there would not have been a space for this program. It has come to light that with the change of leadership at the district a new agreement should be written which recognizes the Girls Inc previous contribution and on-going contributions to the program which includes: The program serving 60 first grade girls 2:00 ? 6:00pm,. Monday through Friday All staff to run the program The cost of materials The cost of staff and parent training sessions All other costs associated with running the program The District is extremely appreciative of Girls Inc. for their payment of the building (through the rental agreement) and for their continued financial and programmatic design and support of the program. Without their generous donations/contributions, there would be no GIRLStart program at Wilson Elementary School. In essence this program is free to the district. In exchange, for all that is provided by Girls Inc., the district is committed to providing access and use of the original portable with the conditions outlined in the attached rental agreement.

  61. 10.4 New Board Policy 3210 and New Administrative Regulation 3210, Parcel Tax Levy and Exemption Administration Action recorded 📎 1
    To
    Mike McLaughlin, Ed.D., Superintendent
    Minutes
    William Tunick, from the law offices of Dannis Woliver Kelley (DWK), spoke to the Board regarding the proposed Board Policy 3261 and Administrative Policy 3261, Parcel Tax Levy and Exemption Administration. He explained that the Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 3261 outlines the District's procedures for administering the special tax levies and exemptions for Measure L Parcel Tax ("special tax") which was approved by the voters on November 6, 2012. The proposed Board Policy and Administrative Regulations 3261 takes into account a recent court decision issued in March 2013 in Borikas v Alameda Unified School District (2013) concluding that the district was only authorized to levy a single rate of tax per parcel. The Board thanked Mr. Tunick for the clarification. While the Board was disappointed that the changes would mean less revenue for the school district, and that the legal restrictions would leave the district unable to carry out the will of the voters, they felt that some Measure L funds were better than none, and that the passage of Measure L was a good indication of San Leandro's regard for their schools. Several Board members said they hoped the Legislature would pass new laws allowing school districts to legally impose different tax rates on different types and that parcel taxes could be passed with a simple majority rather than by a two-thirds majority (which Measure L narrowly won). The Board of Education then approved Board Policy 3261 and Administrative Regulation 3261, Parcel Tax Levy and Exemption Administration. Trustee Prola was absent.

    Quick Summary / Staff Recommendation
    Discuss and consider the approval of new Board Policy 3210 and new Administrative Regulation 3210, Parcel Tax Levy and Exemption Administration.
    Background Information
    On November 6, 2012, over two-thirds of voters approved Measure L, the ?special tax? with funds to be used for specified educational purposes. Board Policy and Administrative Regulations 3261 will outline the District?s procedures for administering the special tax levies and exemptions for the parcel tax. Measure L authorized the District to impose a qualified special tax or ?parcel tax? on every parcel of taxable real property within the District. Measure L included definitions classifying all parcels within the District into different classifications and assigning tax rates to each classification. On March 6, 2013, the First District Court of Appeal issued its opinion in Borikas v. Alameda Unified School District (2013) and on June 12, 2013, the California Supreme Court denied review of Borikas . Borikas held that a similar special tax, which also included different classifications and tax rates, was outside a school district?s authority. It found that the school district involved could only levy a single rate of tax on all parcels. The proposed Board Policy and Administrative Regulations 3261 have been written in alignment with Borikas and address specific procedures related to the following areas: Amount and Basis of Special Tax Term of the Special Tax Qualified Exemptions form Special tax Application Process for Qualifying Exemptions Appeals process Collection of the Tax Use of Proceeds Public Information and Fiscal Transparency Parcel Tax Oversight Committee Fiscal Oversight Legal References See attached Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 3261 for specific detailed information.

    Board Committee
    N/A
    Background Information
    In November 2012, District voters adopted Measure L which authorized the District, through the County of Alameda, to levy a qualified special tax on all parcels within its boundaries. Measure L included various classifications for parcels and rates for each of the classifications. In March 2013, the First District Court of Appeal issued its decision in Borikas v. Alameda Unified School District (2013) 214 Cal.App.4th 135 which found partially invalid a qualified special tax levied by the Alameda Unified School District which established various classifications and the rates of tax for each, concluding that the District was only authorized to levy a single rate of tax per parcel. The California Supreme Court denied review of Borikas in June. As the deadline for the District to provide the tax roll information on levy of Measure L to the County approaches, this resolution provides direction to the County on levy of the tax in light of Borikas . Specifically, it would direct the County and its officers to levy a tax of no more than $39 per parcel per year pursuant to Measure L. The tax would still be subject to all other terms and conditions included in Measure L, including exemptions, but would not be levied with different rates on different classifications of parcels. Instead, all parcels subject to the tax would be taxed at $39 per parcel per year.

    Staff briefly explained that when the Director of Business Service position became vacant in November 2010, the District tried unsuccessfully to find a suitable candidate to fill that position. This caused the District to reevaluate the needs of the Business Services department and to review the qualifications of existing staff members. In response, on March 15, 2011, the Board of Education approved a Director of Fiscal Services position, which is a lower level position. The extra responsibilities that went with the higher level Director of Business Services position was taken on by other staff members, primarily by the Assistant Superintendent of Business Operations. With the recent resignation of the Director of Fiscal Services, the District advertised to fill the position and two candidates applied. Only one of the candidates who applied has a background that would quality him for the higher level Director of Business Services. Accordingly, staff is recommending that the Board "unfreeze' the higher level Director of Business Services position and authorize staff to fill it with a qualified candidate in lieu of hiring someone to fill the Director of Fiscal Services position. In addition, the Board of Education is being asked to approve a revised and updated job description for this position.

    Background Information
    In November 2010, the director of business services position became vacant. For approximately six months the district was unsuccessful in finding a suitable candidate to fill that position despite repeated attempts to do so. This caused the district to reevaluate the needs of the business services department and to review the qualifications of existing staff members. It was determined that the accounting manager at that time had the potential to become the director of business services but was not ready to handle the responsibilities of that position. In response, on March 15, 2011, the Board of Education approved a director of fiscal services position, which is a lower level position with smaller scope of responsibilities and a lower salary range. The accounting manager was then appointed to the director of fiscal services position with the hope that this person would gain experience in the lower level position that would enable her to eventually assume all of the responsibilities of the higher level director of business services position. The extra responsibilities that went with the higher level director of business services were taken on by other staff members, primarily by the assistant superintendent of business and operations. The person in the director of fiscal services position resigned in June and the position is now vacant. This position has been temporarily filled by a retiree since June 1, 2013. The District advertised to fill the position and two candidates applied. Only one of the candidates is qualified for the position. The qualified candidate has a background that would qualify him for the higher level director of business services position. Accordingly, staff is recommending that the board "unfreeze" the higher level director of business services position and authorize staff to fill it with a qualified candidate in lieu of hiring someone to fill the director of fiscal services position.

Trustee Katz-Lacabe found the New York Times editorial referred to the Board through an e-mail from retired District teacher Dan Martin regarding over-emphasizing testing in schools quite appropriate, commenting that "being student focused and learning focused, test scores will follow." He was disappointed that because of a delay in the delivery of materials for the elementary school playground structures, the project would not be completed before the start of school, adding that whatever the District could do to minimize the impact to the sites would be greatly appreciated. Trustee Toro commented on what the research says about K-8 Versus Middle School Grade Configurations, stating that districts such as the Miami-Dade County schools, for example, had significant short-term beneficial effects on achievement, attendance, and suspension rates. Having said that, Trustee Toro asked for and received consensus to explore and gather community interest with regards to considering a K-8 configuration.
