The Galt Joint Union High School District’s Board of Education is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where Board members are elected by voters of the entire District.  Cities, public entities and other school districts have recently had their at-large election systems challenged under the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA).  On April 14, 2020, the Board adopted Resolution No. 1920-14, signaling its intent to transition to by-trustee area elections upon the release of the 2020 Federal Census data.  In a by-trustee area election system, each Board member must reside within the designated trustee area boundary and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area. With the recent release of the 2020 Census data, the Board is set to begin the process to adopt by-trustee area elections.

Galt Adult School would like to recognize our first three (3) graduates of the school year.

Presentation on the current state of Galt Adult School with data from the 2020-2021 school year, as well as the changes and growth into the start of this year.

At the July 23, 2020 Special Board meeting, the board and staff agreed that each board meeting should have a standing item to report to the board the status of instructional delivery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For the 2021-22 school year, the district has returned to full-time instruction for all students.  The progress of these efforts will be presented at regular school board meetings.  This item will remain on all regular school board meeting agendas until such time as it is deemed no longer necessary to report.

This conference is for teachers:

LCAP Goal:

• College and Career Readiness for All Students
• Rigorous Learning and High Achievement for All
• Transparent Communications and Engagement of All Stakeholders
• Safe, Healthy, and Supportive School/Work Environment for All

The costs associated with these activities to be paid:

• Teacher travel and vehicle expenses paid by the 2021-2022 Agriculture Incentive Grant 01-7010-1-5200-100-1208-1000.
• Substitute teacher paid for by GHS Site Funds. 

In the absence of the Director of Human Resources the District is need of an interim director to fulfill those job duties. In addition, the District has an interest in having a desk audit performed on various positions within District Administration and positions that directly support the District. 

The proposed contract would accomplish both of these goals, as the individual has experience in these areas. 

The Classified Substitute Salary Schedule has not been updated since October of 2014. In that time minimum wage has increased by $5 per hour. 

In an effort to stay in compliance with the minimum wage requirements and attract and retain substitute employees, the District is proposing that the substitute hourly pay rate be paid out at Step A of the position the employee is subbing for. 

The positions impacted by this are listed in the attached proposed salary schedule. 

The attached Tentative Agreements have been accepted by the Galt Federation of Certificated and Classified Employees- Classified Unit, Certificated and Classified Management Units, and Confidential Personnel.  The attached salary schedules for said units represent an increase of $0.83 per hour for the GFCCE Classified unit and Confidential personnel. An increase of 3% for Classified and Certificated Management, as well as a 3% increase applied to all stipends related to these salary schedules. 

Included in the settlement is an increase to the Health Benefit Cap of $792 per year ($66 per month). Those members/staff that do not take District health benefits will receive a one-time payment in the amount of $792 per 1.0 FTE. 

In addition, a 5-year longevity stipend will be added to the GFCCE Classified Salary Schedule. 

The salary schedules for all employees commence on July 1, 2021.

This is a regular informational item. 

In this presentation, the Board will receive information about the process and timeline that District staff will use to develop the 2022-2023 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).

2022-23 will be the second year of in the current 3-year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) cycle.  

In response to changes and additions to reporting requirements for various funding sources, including LCFF and Expanding Learning Opportunities grant funds, this year's LCAP process requires that we provide a report to the Board on the Annual Update portion of the LCAP by February 28, 2022. 

Staff have designed a process to analyze current data and trends to identify needs, develop quality actions and services to meet those needs, and engage all stakeholders in a meaningful way in the development of the LCAP. 

The Local Control and Accountability Plan is a public document that the district develops to describe district priorities and goals, the actions and services we implement to meet those goals, and how we allocate our budget to address the needs of our students.  

Cost for the development of the LCAP may include:

• Release days and substitute costs for teachers, administrators, and staff
• Refreshments/food for meetings
• Copying and Printing 
• Stakeholder surveys
• Translation services
• Advertising
