Recommended Motion:

The Board of Education is asked to approve the current extension of the contract with Elk Grove Adult Community Training (EGACT) for one additional year (2018/2019).

Rationale:

In 2017, the Board of Education agreed to extend the District’s contract with Elk Grove Adult Community Training (EGACT) through the 2017-2018 school year.  The District's one-year extension agreement with EGACT will expire on June 30, 2018.  EGACT provides educational services for adults with disabilities.

C.VI.15. 2018-2019 Annual Master Contract for Nonpublic Agencies and Nonpublic Schools
Speaker:
Mark Cerutti/Doug Phillips
Recommended Motion:

The Board of Education is asked to approve the Elk Grove Unified School District's 2018-2019 Annual Master Contracts for Nonpublic Agencies (NPA) and Nonpublic Schools (NPS).

Rationale:

The Board of Education is requested to approve the master contracts of the Nonpublic Agencies (NPA) and Nonpublic Schools (NPS) for the 2018-2019 school year.  Each year the district meets with representatives from NPS/NPA's to negotiate hourly or daily rates. This negotiation begins each March for the ensuing school year. The master contract does not specify a predetermined, fixed amount.  Rather it indicates the hourly or daily rate for each NPS/NPA.  It is the district that sets the rate. It is important to note the annual NPS/NPA expenditures paid to a given provider may vary considerably from year to year. This is due to the various needs of students which are legally defined in their Individualized Education Plans (IEP).  All services rendered to date are required to meet our current students' needs.

Speaker:
Mark Cerutti / Ralph Robles
Recommended Motion:
The Board is requested to approve a one-year agreement between EGUSD and the AVID Center at a cost of $92,288.  This agreement would maintain the district’s AVID program, which provides college-readiness instruction and support. 
Rationale:
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a national college-readiness program designed to prepare students for college-level work.  AVID utilizes research-based methods of instruction in the classroom, supports teacher practice through professional development, and accelerates and promotes student learning in order to better prepare students for college entrance and persistence.  The AVID program targets students who traditionally have been under-represented in our highest-level courses and in college, many of whom would be the first in their families to attend college, and provides them with instruction and resources to strengthen college-readiness.  

As background, the AVID program was first implemented in Elk Grove Unified School District in the early 1990’s and since that time has been expanded to include programs at every middle school and comprehensive high school.  Last year, Isabel Jackson Elementary became an AVID school and in the 2018-19 school year, three additional elementary schools will be added to include Barbara Comstock, Elk Grove and John Reith.  This year 2,874 district students were served by the district’s AVID program.  Of these 2,874 students, 35% were Hispanic; 27% were Asian; 15% were African American; 9% were White; 1% were American Indian; and 12% were other.

Speaker:
Mark Cerutti/Sue Larson/Anna Trunnell
Recommended Motion:
The Board of Education is requested to approve the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a balanced student assessment system.
Rationale:

During the 2017/2018 school year, an Assessment Steering Committee comprised of 40 K-12 teacher representatives was formed to develop recommendations for next steps in building a Balanced Student Assessment System.  Research and data analysis was a main focus during the Assessment Steering Committee meetings in order to develop the necessary recommendations.  Overall, the recommendations included moving forward with an RFP for the purpose of identifying an electronic assessment system to support the development and deployment of future assessments.  District and EGEA leadership reviewed the recommendations from the Assessment Steering Committee and are in agreement to move the RFP recommendation forward to the Board of Education for consideration.

In collaboration between Curriculum/Professional Learning, Technology Services, and the Purchasing Department, joint planning and leadership over the RFP process will take place.  Planning includes the projected budget, project timeline, development of system requirements, and evaluation criteria.  Curriculum/Professional Learning is requesting Board approval to issue an RFP for a Balanced Student Assessment System and will, upon completing the RFP evaluation process, return to the Board with a recommendation for award and contract (timeline subject to change based on RFP submissions).

Speaker:
Steve Mate
Recommended Motion:

The Board of Education is asked to authorize staff to purchase 203 High-end HP workstations and monitors utilizing the Sourcewell contract (formerly NJPA) #100614 awarded to CDW-G.

Rationale:

Public Code Section 20118 provides a statutory exception to the competitive bidding requirements set forth in the Public Contract Code by allowing districts to utilize cooperative bids secured by other districts or public entities for the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment.

C.VI.28. University Enterprises, Inc. Center for Mathematics and Science Education Contract
Speaker:
Mark Cerutti/Sue Larson/Anna Trunnell
Recommended Motion:

The Board is asked to approve the University Enterprises, Inc. (UEI) – Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMASE) Contract.

Rationale:

The Elk Grove Unified School District received a CalEd grant focused on Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) implementation from the California Center on Teaching Careers.  This program will support the preparation and continued learning for teachers, principals, and other school leaders in NGSS-aligned science education with a focus on elementary education. Only 26 out of 79 applications received grant awards (33%).  During the 2018-2019 school year, over 36 teachers and school site administrators in the Elk Grove Unified School District will have the opportunity to participate in the first year of this CalEd grant program known as ESIL (Elementary Science Instruction and Leadership).  During the 2019-2020 school year, an additional 36 teachers and school site administrators will join the program.

This project was designed to provide leadership to secondary science teachers in their support of elementary teachers to provide Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)-aligned science instruction in their classrooms. Secondary Science teachers will increase their understanding of NGSS instruction and build their leadership capacity.  Site teams will include teachers from multiple grade levels 3-6 and one school administrator from one school site.  Regional teams will include Elementary Site Teams and one or more trained science teacher from the feeder middle or high school.  Regional teams will collaborate to generate site-based science professional development for grade-level teams and/or school sites based on the needs identified in their action research.

All teachers will gain deeper science content knowledge and additional strategies to support the instructional shifts necessary for implementation of the NGSS at all grade levels at their school site. Working at multiple grade levels creates coherence in the student learning progression.  Ongoing support and classroom follow-up will be provided throughout the academic year.

EGUSD brought on the CMASE Sacramento Area Science Project (SASP) as a partner to collaborate on and implement the professional development for the ESIL program.  SASP has been a professional development partner in two other previous EGUSD grants, including Excellence in Science Instruction (eSCI) and eSCI+.  SASP has over 20 years of experience in active research in science education and professional development expertise.  Because of this and its connections to higher education faculty from UC Davis and CSU Sacramento, SASP is a unique service provider.
