INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT – COPY AND PUBLISHING SERVICES SEATTLE SCHOOL DISTRICT

December 9, 2013

SITUATION RCW 39.34.030 allows districts to access other agencies purchase agreements as long as specific conditions are met. One of the conditions needed to access other agency bids is the requirement for an interlocal agreement authorized by the board of directors. Seattle School District has awarded a contract for copy and publishing services. Due to the competitive pricing of this bid, the need for replacement printing and copy equipment in the district’s print shop, and reduction of administrative time and costs, it is in the best interest of district to use to the Seattle School District bid to make purchases. The attached interlocal agreement will allow the district to purchase copy equipment, including maintenance and service agreements from Seattle School District Contract No. RFP02321. RECOMMENDATION The Board of Directors authorizes the superintendent to enter into an Interlocal Agreement between the Seattle School District and the Lake Washington School District for the purchase or acquisition of copy and printing services.

SELECTION OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STATEMENT FOR

FEBRUARY 2014 KING COUNTY ELECTIONS VOTERS’ PAMPHLET

December 9, 2013

SITUATION

As part of the process to be included in the voters’ pamphlet, the Board must solicit Pro and Con committees (maximum of three members each) to write statements in favor of or in opposition to the ballot measures (pro and con statements). Members are to be appointed from persons known to favor or oppose the measure. If such persons are not immediately known, the district should notify the public that members for the committees are being sought.

The district has an established promotional committee, Lake Washington Citizens Levy Committee, and they were asked to provide names of three members to write the promotional statement. The Lake Washington Citizens Levy Committee has provided the following names of three members to write the promotional statement:

Susan Baird-Joshi, Kerri Nielsen, and Matt Loschen.

Since an established opposition committee was not immediately known, the district employed formal means of notifying the public that the district was seeking interested community members to participate in writing an opposition statement. On November 8, a notice was posted on the district’s website seeking interested persons and asking them to notify the district of their interest by November 22. Two community members, as shown below, expressed an interest to write the con statement for the General Obligation Bonds for the Voters’ pamphlet:

Paul Hall and Susan Wilkins

No one expressed an interest in writing a con statement for the other two ballot measures.

After Board appointment of the committee members, the district must provide them with the rules, procedures, and deadlines.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors appoint the nominations of the Lake Washington Citizens Levy Committee to prepare a statement in favor (pro) of Proposition 1, Replacement of Existing Educational Programs & Operations Levy; Proposition 2, Replacement of Existing Capital Projects Levies; and Proposition 3, General Obligation Bonds and appoint Paul Hall and Susan Wilkins to prepare an statement in opposition (con) to Proposition 3, General Obligation Bonds to be included in King County Elections Voters’ Pamphlet for the February 11, 2014 election and notify that Elections Department that no one expressed interest in drafting a statement in opposition to Proposition 1, Replacement of Existing Educational Programs & Operations Levy; Proposition 2, Replacement of Existing Capital Projects Levies.

2014 LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT LEGISALTIVE POSITIONS

December 9, 2013

SITUATION It was requested by the Board to formalize and develop a legislative platform for the upcoming 2014 legislative session. At the November 18, 2013 work session, the board discussed their legislative priorities and identified the following two items to form their legislative platform: Full Funding for Basic Education

We believe the Legislature should fully comply with its “paramount duty” to provide ample funding for all K-12 children by funding and implementing all aspects of Washington’s redefined program of Basic Education (HB 2261 [2009]) and SHB 2776 (2010) through a comprehensive, stable, and sustainable funding system.

We believe the Legislature should include public school employee compensation in the Basic Education funding system. We believe the Legislature should review and take action on the final report submitted by the Compensation Technical Working Group (June 2012). However, we believe that a regional cost of living allowance should be implemented as part of a Basic Education funding system for public school employee compensation.

Flexibility and Local Control

We believe the Legislature should ensure that local school communities maintain flexibility to fund enrichment beyond Basic Education. We believe that local districts should maintain the authority to collect local dollars to fund local needs, above and beyond Basic Education. We believe that the ability to collect local funds should be consistently applied to all districts and the legislature should address the inherent inequities that currently exist as a result of both salary and levy lid grandfathering.

We believe the Legislature should propose a constitutional amendment that would provide for the approval of school district bonds by simple majority and would eliminate the supermajority approval requirements based on voter turnout in the previous elections

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Directors approves the 2014 Legislative Platform.
