It is recommended that the Board of Education (“Board”) adopt Resolution No. 17-15 determining that the Edison Language Academy Solar Project (“Project”) is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), approving the Project, and directing the filing of a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (“District”) has developed the Project to provide supplemental renewable electricity from solar energy at Edison Language Academy (“Edison”) located at 2402 Virginia Avenue, Santa Monica, California 90404.

The Project consists of an approximately 145 kW solar/photovoltaic system and associated equipment, comprised of nine rooftop mounted panel systems located on six buildings and one carport structure on the northwest side of Edison and another carport structure on the southern side of Edison.

Before the District may consider approval of the Project, it must complete environmental review under CEQA, which exempts certain defined projects from completing a negative declaration or environmental impact report.  District staff have determined that the Project meets the definition of the Class 3, Class 11, and Class 14 Categorical Exemptions. The Class 3 Categorical Exemption, set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15303, exempts a project that consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures.  The Class 11 Categorical Exemption, set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15311, exempts a project that consists of construction or placement of minor structures accessory to existing institutional facilities.

Here, the Project consists of the construction and installation of a solar/photovoltaic system that comprises a limited number of new small structures and accessory structures on an existing public school site, which is institutional in nature.

The Class 14 Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15314 exempts a project that consists of minor additions to existing schools within existing school grounds where the addition does not increase original student capacity by 25% or 10 classrooms.

Here, the Project will not increase student capacity or the number of classrooms because the Project does not change the physical space for housing students, and additional classrooms will not be constructed.

Once a project is determined to be exempt, a project is no longer subject to either the procedural or substantive requirements of CEQA and the project may proceed immediately thereafter.  Thus, CEQA review would be complete should the Board determine that the Proposed Project is exempt and approve the Project.

Should the Board adopt the Resolution, the Project will be approved, and District staff will file a Notice of Exemption with the Los Angeles County Clerk.

It is recommended that the Board of Education (“Board”) adopt Resolution No. 17-16 determining that the John Adams Middle School Solar Project (“Project”) is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), approving the Project, and directing the filing of a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (“District”) has developed the Project to provide supplemental renewable electricity from solar energy at John Adams Middle School (“JAMS”) located at 2425 16^th Street, Santa Monica, California 90405.

The Project consists of an approximately 118 kW solar/photovoltaic system and associated equipment, comprised of approximately 42 rooftop mounted panel systems located on three classroom buildings on the northeast side of JAMS, adjacent to 17^th Street, and one shade structure on the northeast side of JAMS, adjacent to the quad area.

Before the District may consider approval of the Project, it must complete environmental review under CEQA, which exempts certain defined projects from completing a negative declaration or environmental impact report.  District staff have determined that the Project meets the definition of the Class 3, Class 11, and Class 14 Categorical Exemptions. The Class 3 Categorical Exemption, set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15303, exempts a project that consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures.  The Class 11 Categorical Exemption, set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15311, exempts a project that consists of construction or placement of minor structures accessory to existing institutional facilities.

Once a project is determined to be exempt, a project is no longer subject to either the procedural or substantive requirements of CEQA and the project may proceed immediately thereafter.  Thus, CEQA review would be complete should the Board determine that the Proposed Project is exempt and approve the Project.

Should the Board adopt the Resolution, the Project will be approved, and District staff will file a Notice of Exemption with the Los Angeles County Clerk.

Due to air quality and disruptive conditions related to the various Southern California fires earlier this month, schools and programs throughout the district were closed either partially or entirely from December 5-8, 2017.  Because our district receives funds from the State of California to operate child care and development programs (preschool and before- and after-school care), we are required to provide the rationale for these closures in order to provide against loss of funds due to circumstances that are beyond our control, such as the fires.

It is recommended that the Board of Education adopt resolution No. 17-20 - Calling for Full and Fair Funding of California’s Public Schools.

1. Evaluate projects on a comprehensive basis prior to issuing requests for proposals, qualifications, quotes, or services. The scope of work should not significantly change, otherwise, a new request should be generated rather than issuing multiple change orders, which bypass the required detailed selection process.
2. All bids for future projects must be received at the Districts office and not received by the consultant. Segregation of duties should be paramount.
3. Human resources department to obtain and retain personnel file documents as noted on internal checklists, such as W-4’s and pay rate and benefit changes.
4. Human resources department to monitor the change register report on a frequent, periodic basis, preferably every pay period.
5. To clean HRS system for jobs classifications and codes, in order for payroll department to avoid issuing one time pays checks.
