He reported on his attendance and participation to education advisory boards for Brandman University and Cal State University, Fullerton and their collaboration efforts to increase the teacher shortage. In closing, he reported on the recent significant changes associated with new standards and the new adaptive assessment system noting, while the CAASPP results are not yet completely official, IUSD continues to be one of the highest ranked school districts in Orange County and the state, despite being one of the lowest funded. IUSD is second in English Language Arts and Math in California, among similar size districts, and first in Math and English Language Arts for Orange County.

17. CONSENT CALENDAR - Special Education
17.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.

All matters of the Community Facilities District Consent Calendar are considered to be routine and will be enacted by the Board in one motion, without prior discussion.

Minutes:
Approve Facilities Consent Calendar Item Nos. 19.a. – 19.h.
19.a. Agreement Regarding Payment of Costs Between Irvine Unified School District and Heritage Fields El Toro, LLC for Heritage Fields Second K-8 School
Rationale:
On July 21, 2011 the Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) and Heritage Fields El Toro, LLC (Heritage Fields) entered into a School Mitigation Agreement that provides for certain K-8 (and possibly elementary) facilities, as well as certain high school facilities for students anticipated from Heritage Fields’ proposed development within IUSD boundaries.  Pursuant to the School Mitigation Agreement, IUSD and Heritage Fields negotiated the first K-8 School Agreement on February 1, 2013, whereby Heritage Fields is responsible for the building and delivery of a K-8 School Site and School Facility.

On August 19, 2014 IUSD and Heritage Fields entered into an Advance Funding Agreement whereby IUSD agreed to advance the funding and direct construction of the first Heritage Fields K-8 School Facility (Beacon Park K-8), in lieu of providing funding to Heritage for the construction of the off-site infrastructure and improvements for Portola High School. The construction costs incurred by IUSD to construct the Beacon Park K-8 School is essentially an interest bearing loan to Heritage Fields, which is required to pay all outstanding debt to IUSD within 60 days of the date of issuance for the building permit on the 3,600th Heritage Fields project unit (as provided by the Advanced Funding Agreement).

On July 12, 2016, the IUSD Governing Board approved the location of the second school within the Heritage Fields’ development and determined that the school be designed and constructed as a K-8. Recent enrollment projections may trigger the need for the second K-8 school within the Heritage Fields development by fall 2018. 

To expedite construction, IUSD has agreed to manage the pre-construction phase of the second K-8 school within the Heritage Fields development.  This includes the hiring of PJHM as the architect, contracting with PlaceWorks Inc. to assist in obtaining the state approvals necessary for development and construction, and hiring C.W. Driver as the construction management firm to provide pre-construction services, including: developing a construction management plan, project schedule and budget, maintaining cost management procedures, providing value engineering options, and providing coordination between the District and other consultants. In addition, the District will be assessed agency fees from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the California Department of Education (CDE) and the Division of State Architect (DSA).

As IUSD and Heritage Fields continue to negotiate the Second K-8 Agreement, the parties wish to confirm that Heritage will be responsible for the fees and costs associated with the pre-construction phase of the second K-8 school within the Heritage Fields development, for the Consultant Services provided by the Architect, PlaceWorks, Inc., and C.W. Driver as well as all state agencies fees.

19.b. Architectural Design Services for Measure E Improvements at Eastshore Elementary School and Venado Middle School
Rationale:
School Facilities Improvement Bond Measure “E” Series 1 project list includes work to expand Kindergarten Classrooms and a Design Lab at Eastshore Elementary School and construct new Science Labs at Venado Middle School. 

On May 24, 2016, the Board approved a pool of fifteen (15) architectural firms subsequent to a staff review of qualification statements for architectural services for upcoming projects.  Staff reviewed the qualifications of the pool of firms and issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to four (4) firms on September 20, 2016, to provide architectural design services for the following scopes of work:

  1. Expand Kindergarten Classrooms at Eastshore Elementary School to increase the available student capacity for the Kindergarten class enrollment, meet the requirements of the Educational Specifications with regard to size of rooms, support amenities, adjacencies and outdoor improvements to the Kinder play yard. The expansion of the Kindergarten Classrooms results in the need to add additional classrooms. A dedicated Design Lab is needed to support the Science/Art lessons exclusively.

  2. Expand new Science and Innovation Labs at Venado Middle School to provide state-of-the-art lab facilities and to achieve the Educational Specification goals for this program. 

Staff recommends DLR Group to be retained for architectural design services for Expansions at Eastshore Elementary School and Venado Middle School.  DLR Group brings extensive school modernization experience and are fully dedicated to meeting the projects schedules.  DLR Group is committed to providing a creative solution orientated approach to these complex projects.

19.c. Authorization to Renew Leases of One (1) Relocatable Restroom Facility and Four (4) Relocatable Buildings at Creekside Education Center
Rationale:
On April 8, 2014, IUSD Board of Education authorized the Assistant Superintendent of Business Services to enter into a contract to lease one (1) 12’ x 40’ relocatable restroom facility, three (3) 24’ x 40’ and one (1) 36’ x 40’ relocatable buildings at the Creekside Education Center / Harvard and Barranca site as set forth in the contract Bid Package No. R-02 which expired on June 30, 2016.  Due to the contract terminating and in keeping with today’s market rates, Mobile Modular Management Corporation has made minimal increases to the monthly rental rates on the existing classroom relocatables.

With the annual lease of these relocatables set to expire next month, and the continued need for an interim training and professional development center at the Creekside Education Center / Harvard and Barranca site, staff is requesting Board approval to renew the leases of one (1) relocatable restroom facility and four (4) relocatable buildings at the new monthly rates as listed below:

$1,285.41 x (1) restroom building
$330.00 x (3) buildings
$850.00 x (1) building
$37,504.92/annually



The lease for each relocatable building is on an annual basis, with the total costs to renew the five (5) relocatable buildings for another year totaling $37,504.92.

Per Public Contract Code Section 9203, the legislative body can reduce the retention withheld up to half of the code required 5% of the contract price if more than 50% of the work is complete and the progress made by the contractor is satisfactory.  OCDE legal services reviewed the interpretation and confirmed the Board has the ability to reduce the withheld retention by half.

As of July 2016, K.A.R. Construction, Inc. and Caston, Inc. are 99% complete with their contract work as listed and is requesting such a release.

If the Board approves to release half of the held 5% retention, the remaining 2.5% retention is sufficient to secure the completion of all remaining contract work.

21. ITEMS OF BUSINESS
21.a. First Reading - New and Revised Human Resources Board Policy Series
Rationale:

The proposed revision to Board Policy 4115 Probationary/Permanent Status proposes to create three Board Policies where there is currently one. This would clarify policy and practice, and align Board Policy numbers with those suggested by the California School Boards Association (CSBA).

The suggested revisions are as follows:

  1. Change Board Policy number 4115 Probationary/Permanent Status to 4116 Certificated Personnel: Probationary-Permanent Status, revising the policy to reflect current practice.
  2. Create a new related policy, 4216 Classified Personnel: Probationary-Permanent Status, thereby establishing two policies, one for certificated employees, and one for classified employees. These revisions update and describe the attainment of probationary and permanent status by all regular employees.
  3. Use the 4115 number for a new Board Policy 4115 Evaluation and Supervision. This new Board Policy describes current practice in the area of teacher and administrator evaluation and supervision. This policy recognizes current law and collective bargaining provisions in this area.

21.b. Public Disclosure of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (AB 1200) Between the Irvine Unified School District and the California School Employees Association (Chapter 517)
Rationale:
Under the provisions of Section 3457.5 of the Government Code, local educational agencies are required to publicly disclose the provisions of all collective bargaining agreements before entering into a written agreement.  Under AB 2756 (Daucher), the school district superintendent and chief business official are required to certify that costs incurred under the collective bargaining agreement can be met during the term of the agreement.  

Further, AB 1200 mandates that the Public Disclosure of Collective Bargaining Agreement and the signed Certification be forwarded to the Orange County Department of Education for their inspection and approval prior to Board ratification.  The AB 1200 documents have been reviewed and approved by the Orange County Department of Education.

The attached Public Disclosure of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and signed Certification, certifies that the District can meet the obligations of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
