Dolores Preciado stated that the staff pep rally was a great success due to the team effort and many donations received. There was wonderful music from students performing in the Garvey Intermediate band and choir REPORTS AND INFORMATION ITEMS:

• LCAP Update Dr. Mary Suzuki and Robert McEntire gave an update to the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the refunding model. Dr. Suzuki indicated that the LCAP requires input from the community and several meetings will be taking place in order to complete the plan addressing the District’s spending based on eight priorities from the State. Dr. Suzuki stated that the Supplemental and Concentration Funds (previously categorical funds), the Economic Impact Aid (EIA) and State funds are now all included in the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The base grants are more flexible based on the number of students in each grade level. The new formula (base grant and supplemental concentration grants) are based on the number of students in poverty, foster students, and English learner students. Dr. Suzuki indicated that staff looked at three overarching areas for the eight State priorities: 1) Conditions for learning; 2) Pupil Outcomes, and 3) Engagement. Staff looked at student outcomes and students who needed additional support, student/parent engagement, and school climate. Staff also looked at attendance and parent involvement. Robert McEntire talked about the target funding based on average daily attendance (ADA), presently at $6,270 per ADA and separate funding for EIA, the LCAP portion of funding for supplemental and concentration grants. Mr. McEntire explained that funding is based on unduplicated count of students (using number only from one segment of students that qualify for supplemental and concentration grants). Mr. McEntire spoke of the funding gap for next year between the target amount and the current year. This year, the Governor is proposing to start closing the gap from $6,605 to $7,557, with two thirds of this increase going to supplemental and concentration grants. As the District starts developing the LCAP there will be a need to plan a multi-year plan that matches our budget. Mr. McEntire explained the growth over time of $1.78 million dollars this year, and close to $4 million next year, and so on until we close the gap. We can only add programs towards in proportion to the gap funding. Presently, Supplemental and Concentration Grants represent 13 percent of state funding but will grow to the target of 25 percent. The District needs to set aside expenses for target groups (English language learners, foster children, and socio-economic students) with input from all stakeholders.

Minutes, Regular Meeting, Garvey School Board of Education Page 3 February 27, 2014

Dr. Suzuki talked about the information and communication needed to take place among the District, the employee associations, and parents. A survey is available online and translated in four languages. A reminder will be sent to parents to fill out the survey online or turn in a survey at the school sites. On March 13, 2014, the survey results will be compiled and brought to the board at which time the staff will need direction from the Board. Dr. Suzuki explained the next steps of collecting feedback from the computer and compile the results by March 8, 2013, and reviewing the results with the Districts DELAC/ADELAC Advisory Council and the LCAP Advisory Council. On March 13, 2013, the Board will be provided with the results of the survey and on April 24, 2014, a hearing will be scheduled to elicit comments from the community. The plan will be brought for approval to the Board on June 5, 2014. Bob Bruesch asked Board members to comment on the first priority of spending if they had total control on the areas of spending. Henry Lo talked about the importance of parents understanding what LCFF means for the District and issues related to the State Common Core Standards. Janet Chin expressed a concern of parents in the advisory council who need to be asked if they understand what they are being asked to approve. She suggested that scenarios be given to parents as the LCFF formula is being explained and how the differences are being calculated. Bob Bruesch stressed the need to explain to parents the targeted growths and how the District cannot have a general program for every student. Ronald Trabanino asked about information sent to parents explaining the Common Core State Standards. Dr. Suzuki stated that this information will be provided at Back to School events and every school site will have brochures and information available for parents. Janet Chin stated the need for the staff to make clear to parents that the additional money is going to the neediest students. Henry Lo noted the importance of making sure that the resources are properly channeled where the needs are greatest. Ronald Trabanino spoke of allocations for training of teachers. Maureen Chin stated that with Common Core State Standards it was extremely important for parents and students to have teachers trained and to have after school programs. Bob Bruesch talked about how the new way of teaching students will require support and collaboration from staff, teachers, and parents; and the additional teacher training, and technology needs. Mr. Bruesch indicated that having a seamless transition for all students would be the most ideal way of using the funding resources.

RESOLUTION NO. 13-14-12 WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

MARCH 2014

WHEREAS women of every race and ethnic background contributed to our country’s triumphs and accomplishments in countless ways as wives, mothers, homemakers, teachers, reformers, industrial workers, other professionals, mentors, soldiers, pioneers, nuns, indentured servants, and slaves; and WHEREAS women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural and social role in

every sphere of our nation’s life by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working in and outside the home and as elected officials; and

WHEREAS women have played a unique role throughout our history by providing the majority of the nation’s volunteer labor force and have been particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in the country; and WHEREAS women of every race and ethnic background served as leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement, not only to secure their own right of suffrage and equal opportunity but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor union movement, and the modern civil rights movement; and WHEREAS the role of women in history has been overlooked and undervalued and is now an important part of the body of American and world history; and WHEREAS the History-Social Science Framework for California Public School, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve, states that the history of community, state, region, nation, and world must reflect the experiences of men and women and of different racial, religious, and ethnic groups and that these studies be integrated at every grade level in the curriculum; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED that the Garvey School District Board of Education proclaims the month of March 2014 as Women’s History Month and encourages all teachers and administrators to commemorate this time with appropriate instructional activities.

Bond RATIONALE: All municipal bond issues have continuing disclosure obligations to ensure investors are properly protected. Continuing disclosure consists of important information about a municipal bond that arises after the initial issuance of the bond. This information generally would reflect the financial or operating condition of the issuer as it changes over time, as well as specific events occurring after issuance that can have an impact on the ability of issuer to pay amounts owing on the bond, the value of the bond if it is bought or sold prior to its maturity, the timing of repayment of principal, and other key features of the bond. Each bond will have its own unique set of continuing disclosures, and not all types of continuing disclosures will apply to every bond.

The contract is $3,000.00 per year and will be paid from the G.O. Bond Fund. Contract is effective from March 14, 2014 through March 13, 2015.

ACTION AGENDA ITEM AGENDA NO: 17.A. TOPIC: Contract with Wenger & Associates SUBMITTED BY: Robert McEntire, Chief Business Officer, Business Support Services RECOMMENDED BY: Robert McEntire, Chief Business Officer, Business Support Services DATE ASSIGNED FOR CONSIDERATION: March 13, 2014 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the contract with Wenger & Associates to provide consulting services to help the District develop and document the process by which unduplicated counts are developed and potentially raise our count percentage. Hourly rate ($175/hr) not to exceed $12,500.00. RATIONALE: In July 2013, California’s historical funding model dramatically changed. The heart of the new core funding system is the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Under the new system the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) is the main data source that drives the four main LCFF funding streams or grants: Base, Augmentation, Supplemental, and Concentration. There are many factors that affect the accuracy of the unduplicated pupil counts. Additionally, now that CALPADS is the main data source, the LCFF pupil counts will be a high audit focus for the current and subsequent years. Adequate procedures and controls will facilitate the audit process. The District wants assurance that its procedures and LCFF counts are sufficient to pass audit. GSD needs to identify and report any procedure deficiencies and/or inaccuracies in the Census Day unduplicated LCFF pupil counts by the March 21st amendment deadline. Additionally GSD wants customized and detailed CALPADs procedures, which communicate school and department responsibilities and required activities to facilitate audit and accurate reporting of the LCFF unduplicated pupil counts. Ms. Wenger helped El Monte City School District compliantly increase their unduplicated LCFF counts from 88% to 93.4%, and implement processes to document and facilitate audit requirements. The contract is for an hourly rate ($175/hr) not to exceed $12,500.00, and would be paid from General Funds.
