On February 11, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 20-21/24, authorizing the emergency repair and replacement of facilities and procurement of equipment and services to enable timely transition of moving Lynwood High School to Lynwood Middle School campus. Because of the necessary relocation of students and reconfiguration of operations caused by the unavailability of Lynwood High School, repairs and equipment are needed at the District's middle schools and other District campus sites to provide adequately equipped facilities and available space for classroom instruction and essential educational services. Resolution No. 20-21/24 delegated to the District's Superintendent or designee the authority to execute contracts and take all actions necessary to execute and implement those contracts, such that one or more contractors may be selected to perform the necessary emergency repairs. If a person with authority delegated under Public Contract Section 22050(b) orders action under Section 22050 without giving notice for bids, that person is required to report to the Board of Education within specified time periods the reasons justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency. Actions listed in the Public Contract Code include the repair or replacement of a public facility, the procurement of necessary equipment, services, and supplies, or other related and immediate action required in the case of emergency. The Board of Education also is required to review the emergency action and determine, by a four-fifths vote and at each regularly scheduled meeting, that there is a need to continue the action taken. When the Board of Education reviews the emergency action, it must terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed by giving notice for bids for contracts. |

Administration requests approval for a temporary increase in the substitute Early Childhood Education (ECE) teacher rate of pay from $110 per day to $135 per day from October 18, 2021 to December 31, 2021. As we return to more in-person instruction, in order to maintain safe, small student groups and appropriate supervision of students, we anticipate an increased need in substitute teacher assistance. Even before the pandemic, the recruitment of substitutes is an on-going issue in finding appropriate numbers of qualified subs, and there is a shortage of substitutes throughout the County. A temporary increase in the rate of pay will enhance the District's ability to recruit substitutes and make Lynwood Unified School District more attractive to subs who work for multiple Districts in the area to assist in our efforts in returning to in-person instruction and provide additional tutoring support, as needed. This increase is in line with the K-12 certificated sub rate increase adopted by the Board of Education on May 14, 2021. |
