This item on the agenda lists correspondence addressed to the "Board of Trustees," "Board of Education," or the "District."  No action is required at this time; it is merely a means to maintain a record of correspondence received and distribute it to the Board.  Any action resulting from correspondence will come on a future agenda.  Correspondence received for this agenda includes:

• August 19, 2021 letter received from the SLO County Office of Education re: FY2021-22 Board -Approved Budget and Local Control Accountability Plan
• Accumulated number of students absent on statewide "sit-out" day to protest school vaccine mandate, October 18, 2021.

The California Department of Education requires all Food Service Departments in the state to go to bid and obtain three different quotes every three years for software programs. Our District has been utilizing the same program since 1993 that not only is outdated, but we are out of compliance. Heartland School Solutions’ program called Mosaic was the program that fulfilled all the Food Service Department needs while still remaining within budget. This new program will be used to monitor nutrient analysis with menu planning, inventory control in the warehouse, create and monitor production records, and be a point of sale system for each of our sites. It also allows for collaboration with other districts; we will be able to share standardized recipes with Lucia Mar and San Luis Coast Unified that have been tested with various age groups. It will save labor; currently we have two people overlooking production records that would be streamlined to only one person. Students and parents will be able to see updates and changes to the menu in real time on their smartphones and be able to see each items nutrition composition, picture, and other ingredient information. The cost for the first year is $17,950, second year and ongoing is $14,075 per year.

The Variable Term Waiver is a document issued for employers who meet the waiver criteria when a fully credentialed teacher is not available for the assignment.  We have one variable term waiver necessary for the school year related to a hard to fill area.  Our next steps will include informing the educator about the Variable Term Waiver process, inform the K-12 (employer) community about the Variable Term Waiver process, and work with the induction community to define supervisory supports for teacher candidates completing requirements while employed and enrolled in an induction program.  The area of shortage is in Career Technical Education: Business Pathway, English Language Authorization (B.Cerda). There is no additional cost to the district on this item.

Under the direction of the Deputy Superintendent, the Instructional Support Consultant (ISC) will conduct a 5-week coaching cycle to an assigned new teachers in our district. The coaching cycle will focus on assisting the participating teacher in enhancing their classroom management, establishing and articulating goals for student learning, using the direct interactive instructional model, and incorporating a variety of instructional strategies to engage student learning.

The cycle will consist of the following:
3 week session – 4.5 hours per day for 3 days a week (equivalent to 13.5 hours per week)
2 week session – 2.25 hours per day for 2 days a week (equivalent to 4.5 hours per week)

The need for these intensive coaching cycles can be attributed to reduced in-person student teaching and online learning.  The funding for this will be CARES 2 and not to exceed $20,000 for all four contracts.

Education Code 49110 outlines the requirements of an LEA within a work experience education plan.  Those components are included in the attached plan in addition to the names of Superintendent designees who may sign student work permits in the PRJUSD. 

This plan is updated and approved annually by the PRJUSD Board of Trustees.

School districts across the State will be impacted by the recent deposits into the Public School System Stabilization Account (PSSSA).  Districts will have to limit their General Fund reserves to 10%. This cap will be triggered for the first time, beginning in the 2022-2023 budget. In an effort to meet this time line, staff is presenting a draft recommendation to allocate those funds to future expenditures. Once feedback is provided from the Board of Trustees, staff will implement this spending plan at the time of the 1st Interim Financial Report .
