Responding to increasing the Adult School's revenue stream and making it a GED testing facility, Principal Frazier said that because Castro Valley, Hayward, and Fremont are the three local testing facilities, SLAS does not qualify. Superintendent Mike McLaughlin also recognized Principal Frazier's forward thinking and strategic implementation, saying, "You are a superintendent's dream. I never saw a school grow so quickly."

Dr. Rosanna Mucetti, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, and Rabinder Mangewala, Coordinator of Education Services, presented the plan for integrating technology across the District in order to improve instruction, assessment and student engagement. The presentation provided detailed information regarding the district's Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Instructional Innovator initiative, the rational for hardware choices, and an explanation for how software programs can create a more personalized learning experience for students. Presentation highlights included: Eliminating the "digital divide" is key to this work We do not want to see classrooms where technology is not used because it is not connected to the work, or a warehouse filled with technology not deployed Everything coming out of the Education Services Department must be grounded in the strategic action plan which has the following five areas of focus: Student Achievement, Access & Equity Technology School Safety, Health and Wellness Facilities Community & Public Relations As part of this work, the District is forming Instructional Innovator Teams: Applications launched last Thursday. Deadline closes January 10, 2014 Modeling the model of using technology to innovate and to increase learning, SLTA and the Educational Services Department reached out to the San Leandro Academy of Multi-Media (SLAM) to create a recruitment video January 17, 2014, is the team selection date and launch of this exiting new collaborative model that will serve as a pilot for the District Rabinder Mangewala, Educational Services Coordinator, spoke of how he has used technology in his previous district to improve outcomes for students, saying grades K-3 it is getting students familiar with the tools, but from fourth grade on the emphasis will be less about what app is used, but how students create products and be more effective in their use of technology. All SLUSD students will have access to an account that will serve as a digital portfolio following them through their academic career in the District. Comments and questions raised by the Board, which were addressed by staff, included: This proves that we are modeling collaboration. Glad to see that you are using our internal resources and the facilities that we have put in place, especially in the production of your application video Is Accelerated Reader an online reading program? It is very exciting to provide these resources for our kids. How does the Instructional Innovator Teams work? Would like to see this be a standing topic on the Facilities & Technology Committee agenda. As someone who works in the tech industry, you may be surprised that I am a bit skeptical when it comes to technology, especially "technology for technology sake" What do you mean when you say "digital divide"? How are you going to measure that all of our students are digitally literal at the time they graduate? What is the criteria we are using to evaluate and choose these programs such as Accelerated Reader Program? At the conclusion of Board comments, the Board took a break at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened to Open Session at 8:38 p.m.

Background Information

San Leandro Unified School District passed Bond Measure M in 2010, which included funding for a sustainability/solar project. The District must comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for each of the solar projects, Bancroft Middle School and San Leandro High School. CEQA does not directly regulate land uses, but instead requires state and local agencies within California to follow a protocol of analysis and public disclosure of environmental impacts of proposed projects and adopt all feasible measures to mitigate those impacts. CEQA makes environmental protection a mandatory part of every California state and local agency's decision making process. There are several categorical exemptions for projects as listed under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Chapter 3, Article 19. These exemptions cover projects that may or may not pose a significant impact to the environment, but fit within the description of the several categories listed under Article 19. The lead agency can file a Notice of Exemption (NOE) with a 35 day statute of limitations period for legal challenge. Additionally, there is a statutory exemption available to the District for these projects. With passage of this resolution #13-61, the District is separately determining that each project is a statutorily exempt project as provided in Public Resources Code 21080.25. Additionally, the District will be separately determining that each project meets the definition of Class 3 and Class 14 Categorical Exemptions, per CEQA Guidelines 15303 and 15314, respectively. Following the passage of the resolution, the District will record both of Notice of Exemptions (NOE) with the County Clerk.

Background Information

On November 19, 2013, staff along with Newcomb, Anderson McCormick (NAM), provided an update to the Board on Milestones accomplished and next steps on the delivery of the solar project. At this point the project is scheduled to start generating electricity and reducing the District?s energy bill by November 2014. Staff requested that the Board receive the solar design build vendor of Sun Power Corporation and directed staff to enter into negotiations with the vendor. SunPower Corporation analyzed the energy needs of Bancroft Middle School and San Leandro High School and concluded that energy conservation measures will result in a reduction in energy consumption or will result in a cost savings to the District. Based on this analysis, the cost to the District for SunPower Corporation to provide and install the Energy Conservation Measures will be less than the anticipated cost to the District of thermal, electrical, or other energy that would have been consumed in the absence of these measures. Government Code Section 4217.12(a) authorizes a public agency to enter into an energy services contract if the following conditions are met: The governing board determines it is in the best interest of the public agency. The determination is made at a public hearing during a regularly scheduled Board meeting, with public notice given at least two weeks in advance. The anticipated cost for the energy conservation / production services provided under the contract will be less than the anticipated electrical cost that would have been consumed in the absence of those purchases. A public hearing was conducted during tonight?s meeting to (1) establish requisite findings under Government Code sections 4217.10 et seq. , allowing the Board to authorize award of contract, under those same Government Code sections, to SunPower Corporation, Systems to design and construct alternate energy equipment/solar facilities at multiple district sites for energy production services at various school sites (?Contract?) and (2) to approve the Contract. Resolution No. 13-60 including Exhibit A (Energy Analysis) and Exhibit B (the Contract) is attached to be approved.

Approve Change Order No. 2, final, to the Construction Contract with OnPoint construction, in the amount of $32,925, for the Seismic and Windows Project at Madison Elementary School.

Board Committee

Facilities and Technology Committee: December 11, 2013

Background Information

On August 21, 2013, the Board of Education approved the creation and funding of the Madison Elementary School Seismic and Windows Project from Measure B Savings. On May 7, 2013, the District received two bids for the seismic work and installation of windows at Madison Elementary School, per Public Contract Code requirements. The low responsive, responsible bidder was OnPoint Construction, in the amount of $355,600. On May 21, 2013, the Board approved the construction contract with OnPoint Construction, in the amount of $355,600. There is a $50,000 owner controlled allowance for hidden conditions called for on the bid form, therefore the original contract amount will be $355,600 + $50,000 = $405,600. The estimated project budget was $450,000. On August 20, 2013, the Board approved Change Order No.1, a deductive change order in the amount of <$6,100>, which reflected a credit to remove costs associate with bid alternate #2 accepted at bid time and not applicable to construction scope. This final Change Order No. 2, in the amount of $32,925, is to address hidden unknown field conditions that were discovered during demolition and found behind walls and below floors.

Approve Change Order No. 5, in the amount of $93,740, to the Construction Contract with Zolman Construction & Development, Inc. for the District Offices & Instructional Materials Center (IMC) HVAC and Roof Replacement project.

Board Committee

Facilities and Technology Committee: December 11, 2013

Background Information

On July 19, 2011, the San Leandro Board of Education approved a list of unfunded priority projects to be paid out of Measure B savings. Included on this list was Madison Elementary School modernization, which includes seismic work, and ADA ramp, back-up generator, restroom for children with disabilities, and HVAC and Roof Replacement for the District Offices and the Instructional Materials Center. On October 18, 2011, the Board retained SIM Architects, Inc., to design and prepare all of the design and construction documents. Plans and specifications were approved by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) and the project was bid through the requirements of Public Contract Code. On April 10, 2013, the District conducted a formal sealed bid opening process, per State of California Public Contract Code requirements, for the District Offices & Instructional Materials Center (IMC) HVAC and Roof Replacement project. Four (4) bids were received for the project; and on April 16, 2013, the Board approved the contract with Zolman Construction & Development Inc., which was the lowest responsive, responsible bid at $997,000, with an additional $50,000 contract bid allowance for dry rot damage added to the base bid amount, bringing the total contract amount to $1,047,000 ($353,000 under the engineer?s estimate). On August 13, 2013, the Board approved Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $63,702, to address field conditions, including removing dry rot sections in multiple areas, decontaminating the attic space above the restroom ceilings, and removing asbestos containing materials in the District Offices. On August 20, 2013, the Board approved Change Order No. 2, in the amount of $78,035, to paint all interior drywall surfaces, per the owner?s request and architect?s instructions, as well as address additional field conditions. On September 17, 2013, the Board approved Change Order No. 3, in the amount of $5,283, is to address the following field conditions: replace non-serviceable ceiling mounted exhaust fans in men?s and women?s restrooms, and replace existing wall caps with louvers to improve ventilation; and patch, plaster and paint. On October 15, 2013, the Board approved Change Order No. 4, in the amount of $5334, is to address code requirements and field conditions, and provide added value, including dry rot repair, heat detectors and fuse adaptors re-install, and District Office window blinds deep-cleaning. This Change Order No. 5, in the amount of $93,740, addressed field conditions and code requirements, added value, flexibility and function, with the largest item (Item 5.19, in the amount of $45,192) detailing costs incurred due to the District splitting the construction of the project into two phases (see detail on attached Change Order). For the District Office/Instructional Materials Center (DO/IMC) Heat-Roof project, staff was directed to plan for one-phase construction and advertise the project bid accordingly. The DO and IMC buildings were to be upgraded concurrently. Staff planned to relocate the entire DO to rented space at 2700 Merced Street. The project was awarded to Zolman Construction in April with an anticipated start date of May 20, 2013, and completion date of September 16, 2013. However, 2700 Merced became unavailable due to a water main break. The backup plan of portables at the District Office did not materialize because the portables were burnt down in a fire. The District was unable to locate interim housing that would accommodate all staff offsite and allow for one-phase construction. Half of staff went to City Hall, the other half occupied the IMC. After the DO upgrade was complete, Corovan moved staff from City Hall & the IMC back into the DO allowing access for the contractor to complete the second phase of the Heat-Roof project in the IMC. The IMC scope extended the project completion date to November 15, 2013.

Approve Amendment No. 3, in the amount of $2,000, with Spencer Associates Inc. for the John Muir Middle School Athletic Fields.

Board Committee

Facilities and Technology Committee: December 11, 2013

Background Information

One of the major projects identified in the Measure M language is the John Muir Middle School Athletic Fields, which will include a synthetic track similar to the one at Bancroft Middle School, as well as athletic exterior improvements throughout the District. For Bancroft Middle School, which received a new synthetic track and field in 2006, Measure M funding is providing a par course. Spencer and Associates was retained to design and prepare all of the design and construction documents. Plans and specifications were approved by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) and the project was subsequently bid per State of California Public Contract Code requirements. On April 9, 2013, the District conducted a formal sealed bid opening process, per the State of California Public Contract Code requirements, for the John Muir Middle School Athletic Fields and the Bancroft Middle School Par Course project. Seven (7) bids were received for the project. On April 16, 2013, the Board awarded the contract to Hellas Construction, with their amount for Muir MS at $1,630,000. Due to the large number of bidders and competitive pricing within the construction market the project was able to realize a substantial savings and generate an additional available contingency of $494,000. Per page 62 of the February 13, 2012, San Leandro USD Seismic Evaluation Report commissioned by the District and prepared by Hohbach-Lewin Structural Engineers, the Muir MS pool ticket office was identified as structurally ?Deficient? by the structural engineer. The District would need to upgrade the building, or demolish this building to remove this seismic hazard prior to a seismic event. On June 18, 2013, the Board of Education approved the old pool area be demolished and reused for physical education activities, with an estimated total project budget (hard and soft costs included) for this additional work at approximately $250,000. The backup says the current agreement is in the amount of $253,000. The Board also approved Amendment No. 1, for $18,000, to the agreement with Spencer Associates to prepare drawings and specifications for the demolition and the new improvements. This added scope will eliminate several existing risks, such as seismic hazards, tripping hazards (pool edge), hazardous building materials, injury (barbed-wire) as well as eliminate a visual eye sore at the back of the Muir MS campus. It will make the old pool area useable, improve the physical education facilities and support the physical education curriculum. On November 19, 2013, the Board of Education approved Amendment No. 2, in the amount of $9,280, to provide additional fencing and gates, additional asphalt paving, demolition and replacement of basketball and tetherball standards, resealing and restriping of courts. This Amendment No. 3, in the amount of $2,000, is to add additional landscape and irrigation design at John Muir Middle School. The current agreement is in the amount of $262,280. By adding the additional fixed fee of $2,000, the new lump sum fixed fee will be in the amount of $264,280. Budget Summary John Muir Middle School Athletic Fields Project Soft Cost Budget $725,694 Hard Cost Budget Construction (Track & Fields) Added (Demo pool; <n>play area) Added (Reno basketball courts) Added (Irrig & grass softball field) Change Order Contingency $2,268,000 $1,630,000 $316,742 $158,372 $102,300 $60,586 Project Contingency $6,306 Total Project Budget $3,000,000

Background Information

The San Leandro Unified School District (?District?) is the recipient of a grant from the San Francisco Foundation to work with community partners to develop a plan to implement a Community-based Health Center on or near the high school campus. The Community-based Health Center is built upon a national research-based model designed to provide essential services to students and families that when ignored or go untreated, impact a student's ability to focus on learning. These services can include: medical, dental, social and emotional supports and academic supports for students and their families. In order to provide such services, the District took the first step of purchasing a facility and it was the former Girls, Inc., building at 13666 East 14 th street, San Leandro. The location was strategic as it is situated right across the street from the High School. On May 15, 2012, the Board approved the agreement with School Site Solutions, Inc., to conduct a feasibility study for a potential Community-based Health Center. Also, the agreement includes consulting services such as negotiation and acquisition of the facility; site viability report development; and due diligence/escrow documentation review. The contract cost was not to exceed $26,340. The next phase is to coordinate and construction of the School Based Health Center.

Staff Recommendation

Approve the replacement of the marquee at James Monroe Elementary School with a new digital marquee.

Board Committee

Facilities and Technology Committee: December 11, 2013

Background Information

The marquee at James Monroe Elementary School is very old and difficult to manage. Monroe staff would like to upgrade to a new digital, wireless, LCD screen marquee that would be remotely controlled by the office staff under the direction of the principal. The marquee is an important communication tool for the community. The school would like to make better use of this tool by upgrading it so that more information could be shared with the community, and the information could be updated more often. The proposed marquee is to be mounted in the same location where the marquee is currently. This is a replacement/upgrade of the current marquee. There will be two signs; one will be the digital marquee which will be changed regularly to reflect the announcements that the school wants to make, and the other will be a back lit sign that says the name of the school, the school logo, and the school motto. Each of these signs has the capability to be dimmed, or turned completely off, in order to make sure it does not disturb the neighbors during the evening hours. The schools? Dad?s Club and PTO have done extensive research in making sure the school purchases the best sign possible. Staff at James Monroe Elementary School has worked with different sign companies and has determined which is the best marquee for the school community, giving them the clearest picture, and is the best fit for the space that they have. This marquee will be digital, full color, and motion capable. The school?s PTO/Dad?s Club fundraised all of the money necessary for the new marquee and school sign and have gotten approval for the project with community input and through their Board Members. The proposed marquee will provide an important communication tool to the entire James Monroe Elementary School learning community.

No Impact to General Fund; Approximately $28,000 from PTA to Roosevelt School's Donation Fund

To

Mike McLaughlin, Ed.D., Superintendent

Staff Recommendation

Approve the Contracted Services Agreement between San Leandro Unified School District and Help Everyone Reach One, Inc. (HERO, Inc.) for Organized Physical Activities at Roosevelt Elementary School for the 2013-2014 School Year

Background Information

Roosevelt Elementary School has contracted with HERO, Inc. for the 2013-2014 school year to provide 25 hours a week of organized physical activities and development of a leadership/mentoring program serving K-5 students. This prioritized need was based on a parent and teacher needs assessment to provide recess and lunch time physical activities and increase student participation while decreasing behavioral issues on the year. Roosevelt does not qualify for the PlayWorks program that Title I schools do thus they want to contract with this organization. This will be the second year utilizing the HERO program. The HERO, Inc. contract will be funded by the PTA through the school's donation account.
