In anticipation for a potential General
Obligation Bond Measure, District staff advertised Request for Qualifications
for Architectural/Engineering services in order to be prepared for future
construction projects. The District
reached out and circulated Request for Qualifications to approximately 30 architectural
firms, held a mandatory pre-proposal meeting attended by 24 architects, and

the proposals and selected six firms to interview for architectural/engineering
services. The interview panel included District
staff members Dr. Michael Conroy, Jim Choate, and Julie Williams, and two
outside panelists, Kris Meyer, Owner/Principal
Ledesma & Meyer Construction Company, and Hayley Calhoun, Director

the District’s soon-to-be-completed Facilities Master Plan and work with the
selected construction management company to plan for future modernization
projects, facilities upgrades, and/or routine projects in the District at its
24 sites. Should an anticipated General Obligation Bond Measure move forward,
or the District becomes eligible for any State funding, the District wants to
be ready to proceed with design plans.
District staff narrowed the six interviewed architectural
firms down to two recommendations, The DLR Group and Baker Nowicki Design
Studio, for its future facility’s needs.
Both firms have excellent recommendations, and successful track records
within K-12 education, using team based and collaborative approaches to
programming and designing modernization projects and new construction projects.
These are highly qualified architectural firms that can deliver the vision for
the Ocean View School District.

In January 2000, the District
entered into an Agreement with the Orange County Superintendent of Schools to
allow administration of the School-Based Medi-Cal Administrative Activities
(SMAA) Program.
The Orange County Superintendent
of Schools has been designated by the California Department of Health Services
to serve as the Local Education Consortium (LEC) for Region 9. The
Superintendent represents school districts in Region 9, referred to as Local
Educational Agency (LEA), to administer the SMAA Program. The goal of the SMAA
Program is to improve the availability and accessibility of Medi-Cal services
to Medi-Cal eligible and potentially eligible individuals served by the LEC and
the participating LEAs.
The SMAA Participation Agreement (Exhibit A) with the Orange
County Superintendent of Schools has been renewed annually. The new Agreement
term is July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.

In 2010, the state deferred all
MAA monies pending a review. In November 2015, monies were received for Fiscal
Year 2011-2012, Quarters 2, 3, and 4; Fiscal Year 2012-2013, Quarters 1, 2, 3,
and 4; and Fiscal Year 2013-2014, Quarter 1, in the amount of $524,009.00. An
additional interim payment was received on February 17, 2016, in the amount of
$95,121.00, which included invoices from Fiscal Year 2013-2014, Quarters 2, 3,
and 4. All of the payments listed above required the District to submit
week-long time surveys.
Invoices for
Fiscal Year 2014-2015 and forward are currently being processed using a new
Random Moment Time Survey system.
All received monies are minus
service fees as follows:
·
Flat fee of $500 per month to Paradigm;
·
Twenty dollars ($20) to Orange
County School-based Medi-Cal Administrative Time Survey (RMTS) software
platform fee assessed by Public Consulting Activities Association (SMAA), for
our share of the state's Random Moment Group (PCG) for their system
administration.

It is respectfully recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the Renewal of School-Based Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (SMAA) Participation Agreement Between Orange County Superintendent of Schools and Ocean View School District, and authorize Michael Conroy, Ed.D., Deputy Superintendent, or designee, to execute all necessary documents.

Certain provisions of the Williams settlement legislation apply to schools ranked in deciles 1-3 as determined every three years by the Base Academic Performance Index (API). The most current list includes Oak View Elementary School and was determined by the 2012 Base API.
California Education Code Section 1240(c)(2)(F) and (J) specifies that county superintendents must monitor decile 1-3 schools for:
(1) sufficiency of instructional materials;
(2) facilities deficiencies;
(3) accuracy of data reported on the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) related to sufficiency of materials and facilities deficiencies; and
(4) teacher misassignments and teacher vacancies.
In February 2015, all schools in deciles 1-3 were required to submit to the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) published in the 2014-2015 school year for the 2013-2014 school year. OCDE conducted a review to verify the accuracy of data reported on the SARC with respect to the sufficiency of materials and the condition of the facilities. The SARC for Oak View Elementary School was reviewed and the information reported regarding Instructional Materials and Facility Conditions was found to be accurate (Exhibit A).
California Education Code Section 1240(2)(H) requires this information be provided to the Board at a regularly scheduled meeting. |

There are no financial implications resulting from this agenda item.
