An update related to bonds and Capital Facilities Program will be provided.

The Board of Education is presented with recommended re-appointments of two (2) members of the San Rafael City Schools (“SRCS”) Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (“CBOC”) and the ratification of one (1) participant.

BACKGROUND:

On November 3, 2015, elections were held for the issuance and sale of general bonds for the San Rafael Elementary and High School Districts under Proposition 39. Bond Measure A for the elementary district ($108,225,000) and Bond Measure B for the high school district ($160,500,000) were approved by voters. The bond funds are used for capital facilities improvements in both in the elementary and high school districts. 

In accordance with Proposition 39, the ballot language specified that an independent Citizens Bond Oversight Committee (“CBOC”) be appointed by the Board of Education (“Board”) to ensure that bond proceeds are spent for their authorized purposes, and to report annually to the Board of Education and the public regarding the expenditure of such funds.

On January 11, 2016, the Board of Education approved Resolution 1668 establishing an Independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (“CBOC”) for the elementary and high school district bond funds. The Board also approved Bylaws which set forth the power and responsibilities of the CBOC and authorized the Superintendent to take other actions which will result in a recommendation to the Board of 10 persons to serve on the Committee. 

Information on the process and applications for the CBOC are made available to the public on the San Rafael City School District's website.  

Previously, the Board of Education appointed seven (7) members based on the applications received.

The minimum number of participants required under Proposition 39 is seven (7) members appointed for various categories, clearly outlined in Prop. 39.  

CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS:

The purpose of this item is to re-appoint two individuals who served one-year terms on the CBOC and are recommended by the committee to serve succeeding terms.  In additional, one participant requires ratification as an approved CBOC Board Member.

Carol Farrer served a one-year term as a “Member at Large” and Neils von Doepp served a one-year term as a “Local Business Organization Representative”.  Both members have volunteered to continue serving for an additional year.

George Tuttle’s application was received after the March 2^nd deadline and therefore his committee membership requires ratification.  

There will be no financial impact.

Approval of the re-appointment of two (2) current members and ratification of one (1) participating member of the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee.

Staff seeks review and approval from the Board of Education for a Modification to the Supplemental Agreement No. 4 to the Master Agreement with architects Hibser Yamauchi, Inc. (“HY”) for additional Architectural / Engineering Services at San Pedro Elementary School.

The purpose of this modification is to provide additional architectural services required as a result of the modification to the original scope of work to include modular buildings on the eastern edge of the campus, the renovation of the existing administration building and the modernization of the existing classrooms including engineering of structural and mechanical systems. 

The original architectural fees were based solely on a design that relied on modular buildings.  With this type of project, there would be less work required of the architect and consultants once the modular building company takes over.  Now that the project includes the renovation and modernization of existing buildings, more extensive architectural work is required.

Background:

On August 22, 2016, the District entered into a Master Agreement for Architectural Services with Hibser Yamauchi Architects, Inc. (“HY”).  Under this Master Agreement, specific Program projects were assigned by executing supplemental agreements for each specific school site project.  Each supplemental agreement identified specific project scope, architect fee, schedule, and other details unique to that project.  The terms and conditions of each supplemental agreement complement the existing Master Agreement which is still in effect.

On December 12, the Board of Education approved Supplemental Agreement No. 4 for HY to conduct architectural / engineering services for installation of modular classroom buildings together with the associated site work at San Pedro Elementary School. 

Current Considerations:

Now that the scope of this project has been modified from a solely modular design to a design that includes modernization of existing buildings, additional work is required of the architects and consultants.

The Hibser Yamauchi Architects, Inc. (“HY”) contract history is outlined below:

A Public Hearing will be held on Resolution #1718-7- Sufficient Textbooks and/or Instructional Materials, San Rafael City Elementary District, 2017-2018. Staff recommends Board approval of the resolution after public review and input.

BACKGROUND:
State of California Education Code sections 60119 and 60420-60424 require school district Boards of Education to determine by resolution that each pupil in each school in the District has, or will have, prior to the end of the fiscal year, sufficient textbooks or instructional materials or both. This sufficiency verification must be made for the four major content areas:  English language arts, Math, Science and History/Social Science. In addition, verification must include a determination of whether each student enrolled in a foreign language or health course has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials that are consistent with the frameworks adopted by the State Board of Education.

In any fiscal year in which the Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that the Base Revenue Limit per ADA increased by at least one percent from the prior year, school districts must comply with the requirements of Education Code 60119 to qualify for State funding for pupil textbooks and instructional incentive funding.

This Education Code section has been in effect since fiscal year 1994-95.  However, school districts were not required to submit a certification of compliance until fiscal year 1997-98 when it was added under State controller’s “Standards and Procedures for Audits of K-12 Local Education Agencies.”

Funding for instructional materials changed with the implementation of the Instructional Materials Funding Realignment Program (IMFRP) in January 2003. Under Education Code Sections 60420-60424, the IMFRP consolidated the funding for instructional materials into one program. The priority is for each student in grades K-12 to be provided with standards-aligned instructional materials in reading/language arts, mathematics, history-social science, science, and foreign language, the last only for middle school students enrolled in foreign language courses. This certification can be made in conjunction with the annual public hearing and resolution required under Education Code Section 60119, which requires a public hearing on a resolution verifying sufficient textbooks.

Instructional materials are defined under Education Code Section 60010(h) as: 

“Instructional materials means all materials that are designed for use by pupils and their teachers as a learning resource and that help pupils to acquire facts, skills, or opinions or to develop cognitive processes.  Instructional materials may be printed or non-printed, and may include textbooks, technology-based materials, other educational materials, and tests.” 

The IMFRP requires that districts, charter schools, and county offices of education use the funds to ensure that each pupil is provided with a standards-aligned textbook or basic educational materials by the beginning of the first school term that commences no later than 24 months after those materials were adopted by the State Board of Education.

The certification for grades K-8 must be renewed following a primary state adoption of standards-aligned instructional materials for K-8 in reading/language arts, mathematics, history-social science, science and foreign language.  Materials for grades 9-12 must be renewed following local governing board adoption of standards-aligned instructional materials in any of the above subject areas.

BACKGROUND:
Under the Local Control funding Formula (LCFF) The Instructional Materials Fund Realignment Program (IMFRP) has been eliminated and rolled into the LCFF.    A combination of restricted (Prop-20) Lottery and unrestricted funds were used to purchase the instructional materials necessary to meet the needs of the schools and accommodate student growth and changes in class configurations.
