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. |
The Board is asked to hold a public hearing that meets the statutory requirements for the second map consideration public hearing, pursuant to Elections Code section 100010(a)(1). |

In the 2016-17 School year Galt Joint Union High School District purchased our current network solution. Currently our network is 5 years old, and we are nearing the end of our current support contract with existing equipment. This presentation will review several options that the Technology department has put together to either extend our support for our existing equipment or options for replacing legacy equipment with new. |

At the July 23, 2020 Special Board meeting, the board and staff agree 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. The progress of these efforts will be tracked 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. |

By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. Education Code Section 35256 states:
The governing board of each school district maintaining an elementary or secondary school shall develop and cause to be implemented for each school in the school district a School Accountability Report Card.
(a) The School Accountability Report Card shall include, but is not limited to, the conditions listed in Section 33126.
(b) Not less than triennially, the governing board of each school district shall compare the content of the School Accountability Report Card of the school district to the model School Accountability Report Card adopted by the state board. Variances among school districts shall be permitted where necessary to account for local needs.
(c) The governing board of each school district annually shall issue a School Accountability Report Card for each school in the school district, publicize those reports, and notify parents or guardians of pupils that a hard copy will be provided upon request. Commencing with the 2008–09 school year, each school district shall make hard copies of its annually updated report card available, upon request, on or before February 1 of each year. |
In November 1988, California voters passed Proposition 98, also known as The Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act. This ballot initiative provides California's public schools with a stable source of funding. In return, all public schools in California are required annually to prepare SARCs and disseminate them to the public. SARCs are intended to provide the public with important information about each public school and to communicate a school's progress in achieving its goals.
In the years since the passage of Proposition 98, additional requirements for school accountability reporting and dissemination have been established through legislation. Most SARC requirements are codified in California Education Code (EC) sections 33126 and 33126.1 . In addition, similar requirements are contained in the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) legislation.
Pursuant to Chapter 914, Statutes of 2004 (Assembly Bill 1858), all nonpublic, nonsectarian schools are required to prepare a SARC in accordance with EC Section 33126. This requirement applies to nonpublic, nonsectarian schools but does not apply to nonpublic, nonsectarian agencies. |

The Maintenance and Operations Department has determined the existing parking lot lighting at Liberty Ranch High School is inefficient and under-designed. Improvements to the lighting will result in a less expensive operating cost as well as a safer and more pleasant campus. Under consideration is a contract for retrofitting ninety-three parking lot fixtures to LED. This will lead to lower operating costs, less required maintenance, and considerably more light in the parking lot. |

The A–G Completion Improvement Grant Program was established by Assembly Bill 130 for the purpose of providing additional supports to Districts to help increase the number of California high school pupils, particularly unduplicated pupils, who graduate from high school with A–G eligibility. There are a total of three grants; each District qualifies to receive two of these grants: the A-G Learning Loss Mitigation Grant and either the A-G Access Grant OR the A-G Success Grant. A–G Access Grant: Allocates three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000), as defined in Education Code (EC) sections 41590. In an equal amount for every unduplicated pupil enrolled in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as reported in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) for the 2020–21 fiscal year Fall 1 Submission to each LEA that is identified by the department pursuant to subdivision (h) have an overall A–G completion rate of less than 67 percent. A–G Success Grant: Allocates one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), as defined in EC sections 41590. In an equal amount for every unduplicated pupil enrolled in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as reported in the CALPADS for the 2020–21 fiscal year Fall 1 Submission to each LEA that is identified by the department pursuant to subdivision (h) have an overall A–G completion rate of 67 percent or higher. A–G Learning Loss Mitigation Grant: Allocates one hundred forty-seven million five hundred thirteen thousand dollars ($147,513,000), as defined in EC sections 41590. In an equal amount for every unduplicated pupil enrolled in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as reported in the CALPADS for the 2020–21 fiscal year Fall 1 Submission to each LEA that is identified by the department pursuant to subdivision (h) receive a grade of “D,” “F,” or “Fail” in an A–G approved course in the spring semester of 2020 or the 2020–21 school year. Because our overall A-G completion rate was 46.9% for the 2020-21 school year, the District qualifies to receive the A-G Access Grant, in addition to the A-G Learning Loss Mitigation Grant. These two grants require that the Board adopts a plan for how these funds will be used to increase access to A-G coursework for all students, including foster youth, low-income students, and English learners. This plan must be presented to the Board in a public meeting prior to the meeting in which the Board adopts the plan. The plan must be adopted by the Board prior to April 1, 2022. |
Information only. The Board will adopt this plan at the March 10th Board meeting. |

California’s 2021–22 Budget Act, the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and other state and federal relief acts have provided local educational agencies (LEAs) with a significant increase in funding to support students, teachers, staff, and their communities in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and to address the impacts of distance learning on students. Assembly Bill 130 requires LEAs to present an update on the Annual Update to the 2021–22 LCAP and Budget Overview for Parents on or before February 28, 2022, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the governing board or body of the LEA.

The 2021–22 Supplement is considered part of the 2022–23 LCAP for the purposes of adoption, review, and approval, and must be included with the LCAP as follows: - The 2022–23 Budget Overview for Parents
