Government Code sections 66001 and 66006 imposed detailed requirements on public agencies that levy development fees. These sections require school districts collecting statutory school facilities fees to make an annual accounting of those fees available to the public at the end of the fiscal year.

The attached report provides additional detailed information of the developer fees which was already made public as part of the Unaudited Actuals report on September 14, 2021.

In addition, Section 66001 requires each district collecting developer fees to make additional findings every five years about any fund in which those fees remained un-expended at the end of a fiscal year. The District has expended the fees that are collected annually.

It is recommended that the Governing Board review this annual accounting and adopt the board resolution for the annual accounting of school facilities fees for the Fiscal Year 2020-21.

Attached are the following:

• Resolution regarding accounting of development fees for 2020-21 Fiscal Year
• Exhibit A
• Exhibit B
• San Leandro USD Fund 25 Capital Facilities Five Year Accounting of Revenues and Expenditures

By disclosing these reports, the District will have met the requirements of Government Code sections 66001 and 66006.

Adopt Resolution No. 21-41 Accounting of Development Fees for 2020-21 Fiscal Year in the following fund or account: Fund 25.

There are no direct fiscal impacts from Resolution 21-41.  However, this annual resolution is required for the district to collect and spend school impact fees.

Our current contract service contract with Ray Morgan ends in November 2021.  The company has provided us with a contract extension through June 2022 with the same terms and monthly cost. 

Due to the ongoing microchip shortage and global supply chain issues, this is not the best time to purchase and install new copiers and printers.  Extending the current contract through June 2022 will allow staff more time to determine next steps based on copier availability and pricing options.

Food Services needs a larger van to carry catering and related equipment, in addition to making deliveries to sites that do not require the truck.  This purchase will be part of our spending plan with CDE due to our fund balance.  The purchase has been approved by the CDE.

The California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) requires districts with trustee areas to review and update those areas every ten years following the release of census data.  

Davis Demographics performed an analysis of SLUSD's trustee areas using the new data, and found that areas are no longer CVRA compliant due to population shifts over the past ten years.

Davis Demographics has provided a map showing the analysis of current trustee areas and a proposed map showing changes that would bring the district back into compliance with the CVRA for its six trustee areas.

Resolution 21-43 would authorize the updates to trustee areas beginning with the 2022 election cycle.

Attached with this item are:

• Resolution 21-43 To Adopt New Trustee Area Map Based on 2020 Census Data
• Current Trustee area Map
• Proposed 2021 Update to Trustee Area

The 2020 TK-12 History Social Science Curriculum adoption process began in early August 2020. The committee, composed of TK-12 teachers, administrators and specialists from across the district, engaged in a three month digital and print instructional materials review process to meet the demands of the California History Social Science Framework and California History Social Science Standards. Committee members developed an evaluation tool and rubric to conduct a preliminary materials review of multiple publishers. The TK-5 subcommittee recommended a custom curriculum for adoption built in house. The TK-5 Units 1-2 are ready for adoption. After adoption, the Teaching, Learning, and Educational Equity department will provide formats for continual feedback as these Units are amenable to revision. 

The Video and Graphics labs in the SLAM building at San Leandro High School are nearly a decade old and in need of upgrading to a modern platform.  Working with teachers and staff there the plan is to move to a modern Windows based lab which is also capable of running modern 3D design programs, Virtual Reality (VR) and E-Sports applications.  As part of this purchase we will also be purchasing a small number of VR headsets for the school to pilot in this program.  Purchase will be made via a piggyback to an existing contract.

This item was reviewed by the Facilities and Technology Committee at the November 3rd Meeting.

During distance learning it was difficult for students to access high quality media experiences from home.  The district is looking to match and utilize some available federal funding to purchase 100 Macbooks for students in media programs to be able to utilize for at home instruction.  Roughly half of the cost is expected to be covered by the federal Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) program.  Purchase will be made via a piggyback to an existing contract.
