Rationale

Deputy Superintendent Dr. Rosanna Mucetti and Director Victoria Forrester will present key aspects of the district's Discipline Task Force work during the spring, 2016. The Task Force, comprised of teachers and administrators from all grade spans, worked together to analyze critical issues within our schools in the area of discipline practice, communication and protocol and outlined next steps in developing a framework for discipline practice for the 2016-2017 school year.

Minutes

The 2015-16 Discipline Task Force Presentation was presented after the Excellence in Education Award Presentation. Dr. Rosanna Mucetti and Victoria Forrester presented to the Board a review on the Discipline Task Force. Dr. Mucetti began the presentation and explained why there was a discipline task force in place and what brought us here during the 2015-16 school year. There is always improvement that can be made and it was noted that there was variances as to how disciple was handled at the sites by our administrators. When there is variances this can cause confusion. After discussion with the Teacher's Association it was determined that this was a very important topic that was going to required a great deal of collaboration and discussion, in order to understand the problem clearly. Dr. Mucetti stated that there are some operational issues that need to be addressed and training that needs to take place with administrators to respond appropriately. She thanked the San Leandro Teachers' Association, the teachers on the task force and stated that this has been a great learning experience for management to understand the depth of the problem. Dr. Mucetti also commented that when teachers and management come together around something like this it impacts teaching and learning every day in the classroom. Management is deeply committed to designing, refining and launching and implementing this in the fall. Victoria Forrester also spoke regarding the disciple task force. It was comprised of seven teachers, five administrators, Dr. Mucetti and herself. Administrators and teachers met to collaborate over a problem that everyone could see and it was very inspiring doing this work. They wanted to make sure that everyone understood the structure of (PBIS) Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. It was a structure for behavior and it was part of discipline but not a structure for discipline. They wanted to identify gaps within the system when responding to discipline issues and wanted to gather discipline data, identify causes and the challenges that the District was having. This project started in March and was completed by the end of the school year. The task force requested to meet in the fall to discuss the work that was rolled out during the summer and during the upcoming fall school year. A survey was given to all SLTA members and 277 responses were received from teachers from all three grade spans and all responses were read. Teachers have concerns regarding disciple procedures in the District and the data supported that. Administrators agreed with the teachers that there are disciple problems. The Educational Services department will continue working on protocols during the summer.

Once the district files its adopted budget with the County Office of Education (COE), the COE is required to verify that the budget complies with the criteria and standards adopted by the State Board of Education, per E.C. 33127, to determine whether the district will be able to meet its financial obligations in the current and two subsequent fiscal years and notify the district by August 15 whether the COE has approved, conditionally approved, or disapproved the budget. The staff has developed the budget using the state-adopted Criteria and Standards. It includes the expenditures necessary to implement the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) or annual updates to LCAP that will be effective for the budget year. Business Services staff has prepared the Adoption Budget based on assumptions from the Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE), California Department of Finance (DOF/FCMAT), and the School Services of California (SSC), Inc. dartboard which provides the school districts critical economic indicators for budget projections.

Minutes

Trustee Prola stated that previously there was mention of moving a government requirement to the junior year, so that seniors would still be able to take an AP government class. She would like the Curriculum Committee to considered this. Trustee Prola suggested adding another unit to the 8th graders curriculum since there is discussion on having sixteen year olds vote. Trustee Prola would like the Policy Committee to review the food being allowed in the classrooms for parties. It is her understanding that there is no policy on this. President Rosato requested adding the CSBA report to future board meetings as an item on our regular schedule. Also, he asked the District to investigate surrounding districts consistent garden protocols and procedures.
