11.d. Piggyback Authorization - Purchase of Audio Visual Equipment
Rationale:
Sites and programs have an ongoing need to purchase audio visual equipment, such as, charging/security carts. 

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 20118, school districts may purchase under another entity's contract when using the same terms and conditions. This procedure is often referred to as "piggy-backing".

Capistrano Unified School District awarded Bid No. 1516-02, Audio Visual Equipment on June 24, 2015 with an initial term through July 31, 2016, renewable annually upon mutual agreement with Board approval for a term not to exceed three (3) years. The bid was awarded on an item-by-item basis to eight (8) lowest responsible bidders. Seven (7) of the awarded vendors allowed for piggy-backable use; Blue Label Power, Inc., CDW Government LLC, Camcor, Inc., Golden Star Technology, Inc. dba GST, PC & MacExchange, Pathway Communications, LTD, and Ward's Media Technology.

Staff has reviewed the terms, conditions, and pricing and finds them to be extremely competitive; therefore, recommends authorization to be granted to contract with the above listed vendors.

12. CONSENT CALENDAR - Education Services
12.a. Annual Submission of the Single Plan for Student Achievement Plans for 2015-16 School Year
Rationale:
All schools in the Irvine Unified School District receive some state and federal funding to support teaching and learning opportunities at the site level. A prerequisite for receiving funds is the annual submission of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) which addresses the steps taken by the school to raise the academic performance of students and improve the school’s educational program. In addition, the SPSA must also describe how the site is utilizing these state and federal funds to directly support these goals.

The SPSA has targets that focus on the district-wide goal:  To encourage intellectual risk taking and the admission of error as a central part of the learning process for students and staff. The SPSA focuses on areas of academic need identified by specific rationale, data, assessments, and instructional practices. Additionally, student impact statements are included for each target that describes how instruction will change and what evidence the school will accept that the target was met. These targets are written with measurable, achievable, relevant and time-related outcomes. Specifically, targets focus on groups and subgroups of students with the school identified as needing models of intervention to meet standards or acceleration for those students exceeding standards.

Each year, schools are asked to revise and make current targets so that the SPSAs are dynamic and reflect the current academic efforts. Professional growth and Continuous Improvement Efforts are identified in each SPSA.

Middle and elementary schools use the SPSA to focus their instruction for each academic year. At the high school level, the SPSA also serves as the focal point for accreditation reviews by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). School Site Councils, at all levels, approve the SPSA and accompanying budgets. Based on the work of the Continuous Improvement Council, homework plans have been reviewed and updated for 2015-16.

The SPSA will be implemented during the 2015-16 school year. In many cases, certain targets are implemented over multiple years.

14. CONSENT CALENDAR - Special Education
14.a. Payment for Nonpublic School/Agency Services for Special Education
Rationale:
The district continues to experience need for non-public school and agency (NPS/NPA) services. Provision of service is mandated by law under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for one or more of the following reasons:

• Student has been placed in one of the district’s less restrictive programs and has been found to need a more restrictive setting. The change of placement occurs through the IEP process.

• Student was placed in a NPS or NPA program by another school district prior to the student’s Irvine residency. The placement will continue until reviewed by the IEP team.

• District is unable to provide the type or amount of service required in the student’s IEP due to lack of staff with appropriate qualifications or level of expertise.

• Students, with extreme mental health needs, who are in danger of harming themselves or others and have not been successful in less restrictive placements, may be placed in residential NPS schools in California or out-of-state placements.

Each year the district prepares a master agreement for special education services with nonpublic schools and nonpublic agencies. In addition to the general agreement, individual service agreements for each identified special education student are negotiated at each IEP meeting. NPS/NPA providers work cooperatively with the district to provide services unattainable within the district or other local public schools.

Rationale:
Public Contract Code section 20118.2 allows school districts to acquire technology products and services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process that takes into account requirements and evaluation criteria in addition to cost.

Safety and security of IUSD campuses is priority.  IUSD plans to incrementally replace and augment video security cameras throughout our campuses. To reduce cost and ensure manageability of our security systems, IUSD will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to evaluate solutions and establish a standard for video equipment and associated software.  

Given the specialized nature of video surveillance technology and management software, the District is requesting Board Approval to publish an RFP with the following evaluation components (1) Price – 30%, (2) Management/Software Solution – 25%, (3) Cameras and Site Technology – 15%, (4) Technical Requirements and Interoperability – 15%, and (5) Vendor Support and Ability to Perform – 15%.

The RFP will be published after Board Approval of the RFP Process.  The recommendation for award will be brought back to the Board after the selection process concludes.

18. ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
19. ITEMS OF BUSINESS
19.a. First Reading - Proposed Revisions to Board Policy 5141.31: Immunization
Rationale:

On June 30, 2015, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 277.   Senate Bill 277 repeals the personal belief exemption from immunization.  In accordance with the law, Irvine Unified will no longer be able to enroll students without the required vaccinations unless the family submits a medical exemption from a licensed Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy.

Senate Bill 277 also amends Health and Safety Code section 120335(g), so that it states that a pupil, who prior to January 1, 2016, submitted a letter or affidavit on file at a private or public elementary or secondary school, child day care center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center stating beliefs opposed to immunization shall be allowed enrollment to any private or public elementary or secondary school, child day care center, day nursery, nursery  school, family day care home, or development center within the state until the pupil enrolls in the next grade span.

Section 120335(g)(2) defines “grade span” as birth to preschool, kindergarten and grades 1 to 6, inclusive, including transitional kindergarten, and grades 7 through 12 inclusive.  When a student moves from preschool to kindergarten, or from 6th grade to 7th grade, the student will be required to be immunized.

The Irvine Unified School District has revised our Board Policy and accompanying Administration Regulations to reflect the changes in the law.

19.b. Solar Project: Approval for Solar Vehicle Shade Structure Installations at Beacon Park School and Portola High School
Rationale:
On December 8, 2009, the Board of Education adopted Resolution No. 09-10-40 approving the District’s implementation of the Solar Power Services and Site Lease Agreement between the Irvine Unified School District and SunEdison.

Subsequent to this action, solar panels have been installed at 22 district sites totaling 5.3 megawatts of solar energy production. The initial installation at Maintenance and Operations began producing power in August, 2010. The final sites in Phase 2 were completed and began producing power in October, 2014. During the 62 months the solar panels have been producing power, the aggregate avoided electricity costs is approximately $950,000.

The Board directed staff to bring back for approval any additional sites that were determined to be suitable for the installation of solar panels. Staff is proposing the installation of solar vehicle shade structures at Beacon Park School and Portola High School. If approved, the installation of the panels will take place beginning in September, 2016 pending approval by the Division of the State Architect.

19.c. First Interim Report of 2015-16 (AB 1200, Chapter 1213, Statutes of 1991)
Rationale:
Pursuant to the above referenced statute, each school district is required to examine and certify its financial condition twice during each fiscal year and submit updated financial projections to the Orange County Superintendent of Schools.  This certification responds to the ability of each school district to meet its current and multi-year financial commitments.  The First Interim Report reflects the district’s financial condition as of October 31 and is due to the Orange County Department of Education by December 15 annually.  The Second Interim Report represents the District’s financial condition as of January 31, and is due to the Orange County Department of Education by March 15 annually.

The Board of Education is required to certify the financial condition of the Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) in one of three categories as follows:
  • Positive Certification, Meaning that the district will be able to meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years.
  • Qualified Certification, Meaning that the district may not meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years.
  • Negative Certification, Meaning that the district will be unable to meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years.

The General Fund is comprised of unrestricted and restricted funds.  Restricted funds are those dollars that are designated for specific programs.  Unrestricted funds are discretionary and are used for the general operations of the District.

Multi-Year Projections
Based on the information provided, staff certifies that the multi-year projections for 2016-17 and 2017-18 allow IUSD to recommend positive certification. 

Conclusion
Based upon the information supporting the calculations included in the First Interim Report, the District is confident that it will be able to meet its multi-year obligations and therefore recommends the Board of Education certify a Positive First Interim Report as required by AB 1200, Chapter 1213, Statutes of 1991.
