  13. F PUBLIC TESTIMONY ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
    Minutes
    Chris Lasack, a resident on 136h avenue and a board member of the Colonial Gardens Homeowners association, wanted to bring several matters to the Board's attention. Residents in that area have suffered extraordinary property damage with students going back and forth between the 9th grade campus (FTK) and the main high school campus. The landscaped front yards are now dirt, and the students have no respect for the property. The HOA has installed a fence around the damaged property. One homeowner who resides there won't use her front door since up to nine students congregate on her front porch on any given day. The HOA approached the City to move the bus stop closer to the school. Suggested the school district consider moving the bus stop directly in front of the high school campus to divert traffic away from the residents. President Prola asked him to leave his name and number with the Executive Assistant and she would forward his contact information to an AC Transit Board member. Mark Hamilton, Counselor at John Muir Middle School spoke regarding the new political landscape. He noted that our new president addressed items in his inaugural speech regarding public education; out public schools are flush with funding and students leave our schools totally bereft of knowledge. He encouraged the Board to step up and combat the lies being told about the students, schools and the educational profession. Jeannie Walker, also a resident of Colonial Gardens on 136th avenue, elaborated on the problems they have encountered with student and their properties. She explained that there are service people who come to work on the properties are intimidated by the students who congregate on their properties. She also commended the staff at the high school who supervise the students walking between the two schools and encourage the students to go home. Once the police and staff leave the area, the students still congregate as late as 6pm.

  17. G.3 Secondary Redesign Initiative: Programmatic Adjustments and Timelines Update
    Speaker
    Dr. Rosanna Mucetti
    Rationale
    In the spring of 2015, the San Leandro Unified School District began the process of considering changes to elements of its secondary schools’ program design. This strategic consideration was a consequence of several of the following influences: changes in curricular standards across several content areas, a more performance based assessment system, a new district technology landscape, research and development instigated by the state’s Career Pathway Trust (CPT) grant, anticipated refocus on career technical education, and an overall emphasis on increasing college and career readiness. District staff worked diligently with parents, teachers, site administrative teams, community members, trustees, and experts from the field to inform the decisions associated with the changes. Last year, our board of education approved the suggested changes that emerged from a year long program evaluation and redesign process. Several of the changes are soon to be implemented in the upcoming 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years. Now, in January of 2017, we remain committed to communicating these exciting changes well in advance of the fall to ensure staff, parents and students are prepared for the transition. Below you will find a comprehensive list of the new, exciting practices that will begin to be implemented at our SLUSD middle and high schools: New 9th grade College and Career Seminar course- All incoming 9th graders in the 2017-2018 school year will be enrolled in a semester long course called, College and Career Seminar. This captivating new course will provide 9th graders with the necessary skills to launch their high school experience positively. Our 2017-2018 9th grade cohort will attain a strong foundation in executive functioning, organizational skills, time management, & self awareness about their learning styles through this semester long experience. College and Career Seminar is a one-semester course for ninth grade students only and will be paired with the one-semester Health & Safety class to equal a full year sequence. The comprehensive College and Career Seminar is a college and career readiness course, designed to help students achieve academic success and learn how to set and achieve life goals. Students participate in a variety of collaborative activities to help them identify their interests and life goals, discover a career suited for their interests, and set a plan for their future. At the end of the course, students will have developed a personalized 10-year career and educational plan that is updated throughout high school and used by the student and advisors for counselling and academic coaching. This personalized plan provides students with the focus and motivation to succeed in high school, college, at work and in life. High School Block Schedule- San Leandro High School will adopt a two day block schedule in the 2017-2018 school year. This two day block schedule will still allow for students to enroll in the traditional 6 course schedule per semester. However, now students will meet with all of their teachers 4 days a week; 3 of those days will be during nonblock schedule days, and the fourth day will be during a block schedule day. Two days of the week, known as the block schedule days, will now include longer periods with only half of the students’ classes. Details about which days will be designated “block days” along with new start and end times will be provided to families early this spring. These longer periods will allow for deeper learning and more project oriented, experential teaching. Teachers will be trained this spring and next fall on effective teaching practices within a block schedule model. FTK Campus- The FTK campus will no longer serve as a campus solely for 9th graders. All 9th graders will be integrated across both campuses in order to fully take advantage of all high school programming available to them. Departments will be housed at the FTK facility in 2017-2018. The departments that will be relocated there for next year is still to be determined and will be communicated to staff, students and families in the next few weeks. The facility will now function like any other building on the campus. The new block schedule includes a longer passing period (10 minutes) in order to accommodate students being able to get to classes between facilities. Middle School Block Schedule- Both Bancroft Middle School and John Muir Middle School will retain their current schedules for the 2017-2018 school year. However, both sites will adopt the same two day block schedule in 2018-2019. Details about the new schedule will be provided next year in preparation for implementation in 2018-2019. Teachers will be trained this spring and next fall on effective teaching practices within a block schedule model. Implementation of the block schedule at middle school will allow for continuity as students transition to the same schedule at San Leandro High School. Middle School Advisory- A pilot advisory was conducted at Bancroft Middle School in 2016-2017. Based upon the positive feedback and evaluation attained through this pilot, Bancroft Middle School will continue with the implementation of the advisory in 2017-2018 and John Muir Middle School will implement the advisory in 2018-2019 to support 6th-8th graders with positive socio-emotional development. In the advisory period, students and teachers will build strong, respectful relationships that help personalize the learning experience for students within our large middle schools. Advisory serves as time within the instructional day when advisory teachers support the development of a positive school community based on strong, respectful relationships, and reflect school culture and climate. The advisory outcomes would be the following: 1) build a relationship with a mentor who understand the demands of secondary programming 2) build relationships with peers 3) learn effective executive functioning skills 4) learn the practices and attitudes necessary to be a successful student. Career Pathways officially launch for the Class of 202 1- The Career Pathway programs are optional educational pathways that provide students additional college and career readiness support through their high school years through a focused area of course study. After our incoming 9th grade cohort completes their first year of high school, the class of 2021 will have the opportunity to take advantage of the new Career Pathways programs as sophomores. In 2018-2019, San Leandro High School will offer Career Pathway programs in the areas of study described below. These programs consist of a three year course sequence that culminates with a capstone project and is coupled with career related internship opportunities. The descriptions of each program are below: Biomedical Health The explosion of new technologies combined with an aging population has created a high demand for biomedical health professionals. Whether discovering new cancer treatments or teaching healthy lifestyle choices to communities, today’s biomedical science professionals are tackling big challenges to make the world a better place. Students in the Biomedical Health Pathway pursue a meaningful career helping others by engaging in compelling, hands-on activities and projects that professionals encounter in the workplace. Students in the Biomedical Health Pathway prepare for careers such as nursing, pharmacology, medical careers, health care administrative services, physical therapy, forensics, dentistry, veterinary medicine, sports medicine, occupational therapy and biotechnology. Advanced Manufacturing Advanced manufacturing is an exciting field that invents and creates the products that people need and want in a modern world. Manufacturing has moved from manual equipment to highly computerized equipment and innovative processes like 3-D printing. Today’s employers are looking for people who have strong math skills and be able to apply scientific and technical principles to structures and manufacturing processes which is why many of California’s Community Colleges are preparing students for high paying jobs in advanced manufacturing. San Leandro’s advanced manufacturing pathway provides students with an understanding of manufacturing processes and systems common to careers in machine tool and materials forming industries. Students in the Advanced Manufacturing pathway prepare for careers such as CAD/CAM specialist, CNC machinist, manufacturing engineer, materials/supply management specialist and quality assurance technician. Information Communication Technologies (ICT) How can computing and developing information communication technologies change the world? Just look what phones looked like ten years ago, five years ago and today. This pathway is for students interested in software and systems development and focuses on stimulating creativity and problem solving ability while connecting the relevance of computer science to society. The first course is introduction to computer science which emphasizes the content practices, thinking and skills central to the discipline of information communication technologies. The second course is an intellectually rich and engaging course that focuses on computational thinking practices, connecting computing, developing computational artifacts, communicating and collaborating. The capstone course is AP Computer Science A. Students in the ICT pathway prepare for careers in software developer/applications, information security analyst, web developer, computer programmer, E-Business specialist and operating systems managers. Digital Media The digital media arts pathway inspires, develops and equips students to gain a creative and exciting career in digital media arts. Students learn how to create, refine and share work in the digital media pathway that promotes teamwork, communication, creative thinking, and decision-making abilities which are traits that are necessary to be successfully competitive in a media-rich 21st century workplace. The digital media pathway includes those occupations that use visual art, digital media, and web-based tools and materials as the primary means of communication and expression. Students in the digital media pathway prepare for careers such as digital animator, graphic artist, artistic director, commercial artist, web designer, videographer, and production manager. Public Service & Law The public service law pathway exposes students to careers that are provided by government to its citizens, either directly or through the financing of another entity to provide that service. Students interested in the public service law pathway have a desire to help support and connect with people and their communities. Careers in public service are unique because they center on challenging issues that define the public agenda and involve the provision of vital services to the public from local to international levels. Students in the public service and law pathway prepare for careers such as public safety, emergency response and legal practices.

  18. G.4 2015-16 Audit Overview 📎 1
    Rationale
    The Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations will present an overview of the 2015-16 audit.
    Minutes
    Dr. Kevin Collins presented information from the 2015-16 Audit Overview. The audit is covered in 3 parts: the regular external district audit, the Measure B and Meausre M audit for financial and performance audits. Our District Auditor is Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Company, whom we have a contract with through the 2016-17 fiscal year. The auditor visited several sites: Wilson, Bancroft, San Leandro High School, Lincoln and Lighthouse to review their books. There were three audit findings this year: various site cash internal control issues for Associated Student Body (ASB). There are no financial impacts from this finding. The second finding was free/reduced student count was incorrectly reported. This error will result in $372,360 being withheld in the current year from LCFF funding. The third finding was errors found with After School Education and Safety Program (ASES) attendance. There is n fiscal impact with this finding. Regarding the 2015-16 Bond audit, Prop 39 bond measure requires an annual financial and performance audit. All remaining bond funds will be spent during the current year, so the district will have a final audit for Measures M & B. These audits were performed at the same time as the district audits. There were no findings for either measure. The audit for measure J1 will begin next year. The district auditor issue and unmodified opinion for the financial statements, meaning it was a clean opinion, fairly stated. The district received a satisfactory audit. It is recommended that the Board of Trustrees approve the audits listed as action items in tonight's meeting.

  67. L.3.b Educational Services Division Reorganization Proposal Passed 📎 1

    Recommended motion

    Approval of this item will do the following: Approve a new organizational structure, as represented on the attached organizational chart, for the educational services division; Approve new job descriptions (attached) for the following administrative positions within the educational services division: senior director, director, assistant director, chief technology officer; and Approve new certificated and classified management salary schedules (attached).

    Rationale
    Overview: During the fall of 2016, an assessment of educational services division programs was conducted. This involved a systematic review of programs, services and budgets as they related to the district’s current and anticipated future needs. As part of this assessment 47 employees within the educational services division were interviewed, new State accountability system requirements were reviewed, budget constraints were considered, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of services to our students, staff and families were analyzed. Recommendations: As a result of this assessment, staff is recommending that the SLUSD Board of Education approve a restructuring of the educational services division that realigns programs and services into two areas: (1) Instructional Services, which covers departments that provide direct services to students and families; and (2) Instructional Support Services for departments that provide support services for our schools, students and families. This realignment is illustrated in the attached organizational chart. In addition, the recommended reorganization does the following: Creates two new senior director positions to oversee the Instructional Services and Instructional Support Services areas; Eliminates two administrative positions for the 2017-18 school year and a third administrative position for the 2018-19 school year*; Reclassifies four assistant director positions to director positions to oversee the departments within the two areas of the educational services division; Reclassifies a manager position to an assistant director position (2017-18 school year only); Increases the salary range for the chief technology officer; and Saves the district approximately $351,000 in reduced administrative personnel costs over the course of the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years. Supporting documentation for these recommendations is attached to this agenda item. This reorganization result in a significant cost savings to the district and better aligns educational services division departments, programs, and services with the needs of our stakeholders, and with the needs of the district for the upcoming school years. Approval of this item will do the following: Approve a new organizational structure, as represented on the attached organizational chart, for the educational services division; Approve new job descriptions (attached) for the following administrative positions within the educational services division: senior director, director, assistant director, chief technology officer; and Approve new certificated and classified management salary schedules (attached). *Board actions for employees affected by these reductions will be taken at a later date.
