A section of the sewer line that services the older part of the Baywood campus was repaired last summer.

This repair was postponed because it could not be completed prior to the start of school.

9.1. Resolution No. 31/18-19 - Reduction of Classified Services for 2019-2020 (v)
Rationale:

Per Education Code 45114, the Governing Board may lay off classified employees for lack of work and/or lack of funds.

The recommendation for reduction of Classified Services for 2019-2020 in the attached resolution are based on the following:

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) funds classified positions, as recommended by administration, to provide intervention and enrichment programs for students. At this time the PTA has not finalized its budget and determined its available funding for the 2019-2020 school year. Due to the uncertainty of its funding, the PTA has not yet determined which classified positions it will continue to fund for the following school year. In order to meet statutory timeline to provide layoff notices to affected classified employees at least 60 days prior to the effective date of the layoff, the recommendation is made to reduce classified services of PTA funded positions.

Reduction in positions funded with supplemental and/or Title funds. Schools are still in the process of gathering stakeholder engagement input and developing site plans so services have not been assigned for 2019-2020.

Elimination of positions due to restructuring and/or to increase efficiencies.

 
Recommended Motion:

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE RESOLUTION 31/18-19 TO REDUCE CLASSIFIED SERVICES AND CORRESPONDING 48.79 FTE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCEDURES PROVIDED BY EDUCATION CODES 45298 AND 45308, AS NECESSARY, TO ADDRESS POSSIBLE CHANGES TO PROGRAM SERVICES.
