.IV. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORTWas edited within 72 hours of the Meeting
Quick Summary / Abstract:

Update on Malibu Fire

Minutes:
Time start: 6:48 p.m. Time end: 7:27 p.m.

Dr. Drati began his report by giving some of his time to Student Board Member Blain, who reported on the flex time pilot program that will begin at Samohi next week. Each day, there will be an hour built into a block schedule during which students can meet with teachers. Dr. Drati explained that this format allows teachers and students to focus time on projects and innovative ideas.

Dr. Drati reported on the Woolsey Fire, which started on November 8 and burned down several homes in Malibu. He explained the timeline of the evacuations and decision to close all SMMUSD schools in Malibu. Various members of his staff and EOC reported on: the condition of the school facilities and utilities; plans to thoroughly clean the schools once evacuation orders are lifted; actions that have been taken to provide short-term child care options in Santa Monica for displaced Malibu students; discussions that are being had to meet the long-term educational needs of students whose families might not be able to return to Malibu for some time; how the structure of the remainder of the school year could be modified to recoup lost instructional time for the middle and high school; how counselors are helping MHS students with college applications; what resources have been put in place to help staff and families deal with the emotional strains of evacuation and loss of homes due to fire; how various communities are coming together to help support those who have been displaced; and what and how communication has been shared with staff and families during this crisis. Dr. Drati estimated that the schools in Malibu could be ready to welcome back staff and students as early as November 26, but that is an optimistic timeline. Ms. Pinsker announced that a Friendsgiving has been arranged for Malibu residents for November 20 at either the PDLC or Samohi campus.

Furthermore, this work directly supports our Strategic Focus of promoting Evidence-based Writing.

.V.A.4. Approval of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
Recommended Motion:

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for each of our schools.  

Rationale:

Approval of the SPSA for 2018-19 authorizes schools to continue engaging in planned activities and expenditures through the beginning of the 2019-20 school year, until an annual update to the SPSA comes before the Board. 

The SPSA establishes a focus for raising the academic performance of students to meet or exceed state standards.  Embedded within the plan, is a description of the site’s School Leadership Team (SLT) plan, which school administrators and teacher leaders have created as part of the Superintendent’s three-pronged approach to build Excellence through Equity. In addition, the SPSA expands to address each of the three LCAP goals, providing greater alignment between the work of schools and the goal of the district. School allocations of categorical and site formula funds that support of improvement goals are identified.  Each School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for the development, implementation, and review of its SPSA. The development of the plan consists of the following steps:

Obtain the input of the school community, including SLT and other groups (ELAC, PTA, etc.)

  1. Review the school characteristics
  2. Analyze current educational practices and staffing
  3. Analyze student performance data
  4. Establish school goals
  5. Review available resources
  6. Select specific improvements
  7. Consider centralized services
  8. Recommend the plan to the local governing board
  9. Monitor progress
  10. Evaluate the effectiveness of planned activities
  11. Modify the plan

The SPSAs are considered working documents.  Plans may be modified throughout the course of the year, as School Site Councils continually monitor their implementation.  The plans can be found online.  One public copy of each plan will be available at the Board of Education meeting.  Hard copies of each school’s SPSA are available for viewing at each school office and in the Educational Services Department of the District Office.


 
Comments:

The SPSAs for Santa Monica HS, Malibu HS, and John Adams MS will be uploaded prior to the board meeting.

The SPSAs for Juan Cabrillo ES and Point Dume MSS will be brought forward at a later date, as these two schools are undergoing the Malibu schools realignment process.


.V.A.5. Special Education Contracts – 2018-19
Recommended Motion:

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the attached Special Education contracts for fiscal year 2018/2019. 

Rationale:

According to the Education Code SEC.21 Section 56342, prior to recommending a new or continued placement in a non-public, non-sectarian school, the individualized Education Program (IEP) Team must submit the proposed recommendation to the local governing board for its review and recommendation regarding the cost of such placement.

The recommendations for these severely handicapped students are made by the District IEP Teams in accordance with State and Federal laws.  The mandates of IDEA require non-public school services be provided at no expense to parents if there is not an appropriate public school program available.  Funding to come from a SELPA-wide non-public school/non-public agency reserve account.

.V.C.3. Award of Contract – Santa Monica High School – Discovery Building Project – EasyTurf – Measure ES
Recommended Motion:

It is recommended that the Board of Education award a contract with EasyTurf, Inc. to provide services to remove and re-install synthetic turf in the Science Quad at Santa Monica High School - Discovery Building Project in an amount of $43,409.65.

Rationale:

Easy Turf replaced the natural grass in the Science Quad, which was unable to stand up to the pedestrian traffic, with artificial turf during the summer of 2017. Since that time, electrical and data duct banks have been installed, geotechnical investigations have been done and storm drain and sewer lines have been installed through the area. The turf was been peeled back and replaced after each of these operations, but the area now needs to be refurbished. In addition, portions of the Science Quad turf, which are now behind the construction fence, will be cut off and will be used to replace areas previously covered by DG. This operation will dramatically improve the appearance and quality of the space for use until the Science Quad will be permanently replaced as part of the Discovery Building Project.  

The District will contract for the procurement and installation of the artificial turf surface in accordance with the EasyTurf proposal dated November 22, 2017 per the CMAS contract No: 4-13-78-0068A, GSA Schedule No: GS-03F-0117Y, with an expiration of 8/13/2022, which the Board approved the authorization of its use during the 10/5/17 meeting. It is recommended that the Board of Education award a contract in the amount of $43,409.65 to EasyTurf.

.VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS
Quick Summary / Abstract:
These items are submitted for discussion. Any action that might be required will generally be scheduled for the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.
.VII.A. Reporting Out of CA State Dashboard Local Indicators (20 min)Was edited within 72 hours of the Meeting
Rationale:

As part of California’s new accountability system, Local Education Agencies (LEAs) must report out annually on their performance on five local indicators for the California School Dashboard. These local indicators must be presented in a public meeting prior to November 16, 2018. 

This discussion item will provide information about the purpose of the Local Indicators, the state priorities that they are designed to measure, and the choices districts have for how to measure them. The discussion item also includes district-level data that will be visible on the California School Dashboard, about which board members may have additional questions.

The local indicators reflect information from the 2017-18 school year. Like all dashboard data, they are lag indicators.

The standards for the local performance indicators are based on whether LEAs:

  1. Measure their progress on the local performance indicator based on locally available information, and
  2. Report the results to the LEA's local governing board at a regularly scheduled meeting of the local governing board and to stakeholders and the public through the evaluation rubrics.

LEAs determine whether they have (Met, Not Met, or Not Met for Two or More Years) for each applicable local performance indicator. LEAs make this determination by using self-reflection tools included in the evaluation rubrics, which will allow them to measure and report their progress through the California School Dashboard.

Performance Standards

The performance standards for the local performance indicators are:

Appropriately Assigned Teachers, Access to Curriculum-Aligned Instructional Materials, and Safe, Clean and Functional School Facilities (Priority 1)

  • Standard: LEA annually measures its progress in meeting the Williams settlement requirements at 100% at all of its school sites, as applicable, and promptly addresses any complaints or other deficiencies identified throughout the academic year, as applicable.

Implementation of State Academic Standards (Priority 2)

  • Standard: LEA annually measures its progress implementing state academic standards.

Parent Engagement (Priority 3)

  • Standard: LEA annually measures its progress in (1) seeking input from parents in decision making and (2) promoting parental participation in programs.

School Climate (Priority 6)

  • Standard: LEA administers a local climate survey at least every other year that provides a valid measure of perceptions of school safety and connectedness, such as the California Healthy Kids Survey, to students in at least one grade within the grade span(s) that the LEA serves (e.g., K-5, 6-8, 9-12).

Self-Reflection Tool (Priority 7)

  • Standard: Local educational agencies (LEAs) annually measure their progress in the extent to which students have access to, and are enrolled in, a broad course of study.
