Modesto City Schools provides a number of social emotional supports for students. Examples include School Counselors, School Psychologists, Student Assistance Specialists and Mental Health Clinicians from the Center for Human Services.

A Social Emotional Support Survey will be administered three times per year to students in grades 4-12. The purpose of the survey is to determine students’ awareness of the various supports as well as determine if they know how to access the supports. 
Goal One:  Increase academic achievement and ensure equitable access to enable all students to attain college and career readiness.

Goal 1.4: Develop a Multi-Tiered System of Supports for all students.
Goal Three:  Provide a safe, welcoming, and respectful learning environment for every member of the school community while ensuring effective district-wide communication for students, staff, families, and community partners.
Goal 3.3: Increase regular two-way communication with stakeholders regarding student progress and other important issues.

Student Support Services will provide the Board of Education an update on results from the beginning of year Social Emotional Support Survey. Next steps will outline strategies to increase student awareness of the various social emotional supports available.

Modesto City Schools' ongoing effort is to ensure our Board Policies (BP), Administrative Regulations (AR), and Board Bylaws (BB) are up to date.

3.3:  Increase regular two-way communication with stakeholders regarding student progress and other important issues.

It was found that the following Board Policy needed to be revised:  BP 6144, Controversial Issues.

Education Code Section 42130 et seq requires that districts prepare two interim financial reports and projections during the fiscal year.  The Board of Education is required to file one of three certifications with the County Office of Education for each interim report.

1. Positive: The District will be able to meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years.
2. Qualified: The District may not meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years.
3. Negative: The District will not be able to meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years.

Goal Four: Ensure the District is fiscally and operationally sound.

The first interim report, based on October 31 financial data, is due to the Stanislaus County Office of Education by December 15, 2021.  The report requires Board approval to be finalized.

The Board of Education can make a positive certification that the District will be able to meet its financial commitments for the current and two subsequent fiscal years based upon the following reports (copies of the complete report are available in the Business Services Office).  All current year assumptions are based on known factors at the time of this report.

The first interim report and multi-year projection show that the District will be able to meet all of its financial obligations for the current and subsequent years.  A positive certification can be filed.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the First Interim Financial Report for 2021/22 and Positive Financial Certification.

Goal 3.3 – Increase regular two-way communication with stakeholders regarding student progress and other important issues.

1.  Approval of Minutes of Meeting of December 14, 2020

2.  Annual Election of Modesto City Schools Joint Powers Authority 2022 Officers 

3.  Authorization of the Annual Audit of the Accounts and Records of the Authority for the Fiscal Year  Ended June 30, 2021 and Direction to Staff to Transmit the Report Accordingly

4.  Period for Public Presentations

5.  Adjournment as Modesto City Schools Joint Powers Authority

It is recommended the Board of Directors take action on certain annual administrative matters.

Goal 4.3:  Invest in school facilities and infrastructure for safe and clean facilities.

Construction of residential housing has started in the Crossroads West Specific Plan Area (Crossroads West).  Construction of residential housing is set to start in the Tivoli Specific Plan Area (Tivoli) in 2022.  New residential housing brings more students to Sylvan Union School District (Sylvan) for Grade TK-8 and to Modest High School District (District) for Grades 9-12.

The District and Sylvan have entered into school impact mitigation agreements with landowners in Crossroads West and Tivoli.  The agreements call for the establishment of Mello-Roos community facilities districts in Crossroads West and Tivoli to assess special taxes to provide financing of school housing for the additional students generated because of the new housing developments.

A new joint authority powers (JPA) entity needs to be formed to manage the new community facilities districts.

Attached is a resolution to approve a joint exercise of powers agreement between the High School District and Sylvan.  The agreement will allow the creation of a new JPA entity called Modesto Sylvan Schools Infrastructure Financing Agency (MSSIFA).  MSSIFA will be governed by two members of the Board for Modesto City Schools, two members of the Board for Sylvan and one member from the public.

Staff is seeking approval of the resolution and selection of two Board representatives and two alternates to the MSSIFA Board of Directors.

There is no financial impact.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve Resolution No. 21/22-12, approving a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the Modesto High School District and Sylvan Union School District and selection of Board representatives (2) and alternates (2)

Goal 4.3:  Invest in school facilities and infrastructure for safe and clean facilities.

California Education Code section 17406 permits the governing board of a school district to lease property to a developer, who constructs tenant improvements to the property and leases back the completed improvements to the district.  The lease terminates after payments are completed. 

In accordance with the section 17406, on May 10, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 20/21-32, supporting the award of the Site Lease and Facilities Lease for the La Loma Junior High School and Tuolumne Elementary School Parking and Streetscape Improvements Project (“Project”) to Sinclair General Engineering Construction, Inc. (“Sinclair”) under the District’s Best Value Methodology.  The Facilities Lease provided that Sinclair would perform preconstruction services to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) and Construction Schedule for each increment of the Project.  Sinclair and the District have agreed to bid the trade contracts in two distinct increments, each with an associated bid package (“Bid Package”), as follows:

Bid Package #1:  Parking and streetscape improvements at La Loma Junior High School.

Bid Package #2:  New staff parking lot at Tuolumne Elementary School.

On June 7, 2021, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Facilities Lease establishing a GMP in the amount of $4,152,000 for Bid Package #1.

On June 21, 2021, the Board approved Amendment No. 2 to the Facilities Lease establishing a GMP in the amount of $5,210,000 for Bid Packages #1 and #2.

The timeline to receive material supplies to complete the metal fencing at La Loma is not allowing the project to be completed by January 9, 2022.

The Amendment modifies the terms, such as Completion Date and Construction Schedule.  To account for those changes, the Amendment modifies the Facilities Lease, including Exhibits F of the Facilities Lease.

Copies of the Site Lease, the Facilities Lease, and Amendment Nos. 1-3 to the Facilities Lease for this project are available for review in the Planning and Facilities Office.

Staff proposes the approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Facilities Lease with Sinclair for the La Loma Junior High School and Tuolumne Elementary School Parking and Streetscape Improvements. 

The probable cost of the entire project is estimated at $5,968,000.  The project will be funded from Elementary Obligation Bond Measures D and E.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve Amendment No. 3 to the Facilities Lease with Sinclair General Engineering Construction, Inc. for the La Loma Junior High School and Tuolumne Elementary School Parking and Streetscape Improvements Project.

On March 29, 2021, the Board of Education approved authorization to seek bids for Modesto High Agriculture Modifications.

A mandatory job walk was held on November 4, 2021, for Bid No. 21-4755; twenty-one (21) individuals signing in with nine (9) companies submitting proposals.

The Board of Education needs to award the bid and authorize staff to enter into an agreement before project work may begin.

Goal 4.3 Invest in school facilities and infrastructure for safe and clean facilities.

Bid No. 21-4755, for Modesto High Agriculture Modifications was opened on November 18, 2021, at 1:30 p.m., with the following results:

The Reprographics Department has the need to purchase paper supplies during the course of the year.

Goal Four: Ensure the District is fiscally and operationally sound.

Competitive bids must be sought or identified to meet formal bid requirements per Public Contract Code Section 20111(a).

Bid #21-4760 was released on October 6, 2021, advertised in the Modesto Bee and posted online. Bid documents were viewed by seven (7) vendors. The bid was opened on October 26, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. and four (4) responses were received. The bid award is for a one-year period, with a contract extension for up to two (2) additional one-year periods allowing for future District purchases of the same items.  Amounts to be awarded to each vendor are as follows:

           Vendor                                   Award Amount
           Kelly Spicers                          $115,000
           Quill LLC                                $    6,500

Benefits of the bid include expedited procurement, volume purchasing discounts, and contractual agreement.

The approximate annual expenditures for paper for the Reprographics Department is estimated at $121,500 and will come from the General Fund.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve authorization to award Bid #21-4760 Paper Supplies to Kelly Spicers and Quill LLC.

As part of approved construction projects for new cafeterias at various elementary schools in the District, MCS needs to purchase DSA approved portable buildings. Currently, there is a need to purchase modular buildings for placement at Fairview and Shackelford Elementary Schools. 

Goal Four: Ensure the District is fiscally and operationally sound.
Goal 4.3: Invest in school facilities and infrastructure for safe and clean facilities.

The cost to purchase these buildings exceeds the current bid threshold and competitive bids must be sought or identified to meet formal bid requirements per Public Contract Code Section 20111(a).

Centralia School District awarded a public bid unit price master contract for the purchase and installation of DSA approved portable buildings (CEPU, #N15-2017/18).  The contract was originally awarded on October 11, 2017 and has been renewed through October 10, 2022. 

The bid was competitively solicited consistent with procurement laws and publicly awarded to allow for multiple public agency use as required by provision 20118 of the Public Contract Code.

Upon review, it is staff’s determination that the District would derive more benefit by utilizing this cooperative bid unit price master contract for the purchase and installation of DSA approved portable buildings rather than seeking separate bids.

The total estimated cost for this purchase is approximately $6,300,000 and will be paid for from Elementary General Obligation Bond Measures D and E.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve authorization to utilize Centralia School District’s Master Agreement for the Purchase and Installation of DSA Approved Portable Buildings (CEPU #N15-2017/18)

Goal 4.3 - Invest in school facilities and infrastructure for safe and clean facilities.

In accordance with the California Education Code section 17406, on September 8, 2020, the Board adopted Resolution No. 20/21-07, supporting the award of the Site Lease and Facilities Lease for the Project to Robert E. Boyer Construction, Inc. (“Boyer”) under the District’s Best Value Methodology.  The Facilities Lease provided that Boyer would perform preconstruction services to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) and Construction Schedule for each increment of the Project.  Boyer and the District have agreed to bid the trade contracts in two distinct increments, each with an associated bid package (“Bid Package”), as follows:

Bid Package #1:  New modular 900s wing classroom building construction at Grace M. Davis High School because of an increase in the student population and

Bid Package #2:  Shop and site renovations at the Transportation Department.

On November 11, 2020, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Facilities Lease establishing a GMP in the amount of $3,400,000 for Bid Packages #1 and #2.

On September 13, 2021, the Board of Education approved to accept deductive Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $221,322.52 and completion of the Lease/Leaseback Agreement with Robert E. Boyer Construction, Inc., Resolution No. 20/21-07 Grace M. Davis High School 900 Wing Addition and Transportation Department Shop and Site Renovations Project, in the amount of $3,178,677.48.

The final lease payment will be delivered to Robert E. Boyer Construction, Inc. on or about December 14, 2021.

With the completion of all financial obligations except the final lease payment related to this project, the Facilities Lease and Site Lease for this project need to be terminated and the property quit claimed from Robert E. Boyer Construction, Inc. to the District.

The Board is requested to approve the agreement for termination of leases and quit claim deed for this project and authorize the Superintendent or designee to execute the documents.

There is no cost for the execution of the final documents.

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve Resolution No. 21/22-13 to accept agreement for termination of leases and quit claim deed with Robert E. Boyer Construction, Inc. for Grace M. Davis High School 900 Wing Addition and Transportation Department Shop and Site Renovations Project and authorization for staff to execute final documents.

Goal Three: Provide a safe, welcoming, and respectful learning environment for every member of the school community while ensuring effective district-wide communication for students, staff, families, and community partners.

In 2017, the District converted from an at-large to a by-trustee area voting system as reflected in Board Resolution No. 16/17-23 Establishing Trustee Areas and Board Bylaw 9220.

The Board of Education is composed of seven members, each of whom resides in a defined trustee area and is elected only by voters within that trustee area. 
 
In 2017, the Board of Education established trustee areas in compliance with the “one person, one vote” rule by ensuring that each trustee area contains approximately the same number of inhabitants. 
 
Education Code section 5019.5 requires the District to review its trustee areas following the decennial federal census prior to March 2022. 
 
Following the release of the 2020 census data in 2021, the District contracted with Davis Demographics (“Demographer”), a demographic consulting firm experienced in districting issues and requirements, to review trustee areas.
 
At the November 29, 2021, regular Board meeting, the Board of Education received the results of the review and received guidance and advice from Demographer and its legal counsel regarding the current demographic population in the territory of the Board’s jurisdiction, based on the official 2020 census results.

Purchase orders and VISA payments are tracked each month.

Goal Four: Ensure the District is fiscally and operationally sound.

Board Policy 3300 requires Board review of all individual purchase orders issued in excess of $1,000 and all purchase orders less than $1,000 by fund total.  All purchases are done in accordance with Board Policy, Education Code, Public Contract Code, and/or other applicable regulatory requirements.

Board of Education approval will allow the District to meet Board Policy 3300 requirements.  A copy of the report is available for review in the Purchasing Department.
