The Board of Education has established policies and standards of behavior in order to promote learning and protect the safety and well-being of all students. When these policies and standards are violated, it may be necessary to suspend or expel a student from regular classroom instruction.

In accordance with Education Code Sections 35146 and 48918, actions of student discipline relative to expulsions are reviewed and acted upon by the Board. In addition, Board Policy, Administrative Regulation, and Administrative Procedure 5144 delineates the program and procedures to be utilized related to student conduct including the expulsion and readmission procedures for students.

During the 2012-13 school year the District’s need for athletic and field trip transportation exceeded IUSD’s primary transportation contractor’s accommodation for transportation services.  

Certified Transportation, Inc. was awarded Charter Bus Services Bid No. 13/14-01TS for transport services on an “as needed” basis and as solely determined by the District.

The initial term of the contract was July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014 with the option to extend for four (4) additional one (1) year terms upon mutual written agreement of the District and Contractor and the approval of the District's Governing Board for a maximum term of five (5) years, in accordance with provisions contained in Education Code section 17596.  

The District has been pleased with the services from Certified Transportation, Inc., therefore, staff requests the authorization to extend the second one (1) year term, as allowable per the terms and conditions outlined in the bid, from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

The district continues to experience need for non-public school and agency (NPS/NPA) services. Provision of service is mandated by law under the Individuals with Disabilities

Education Act (IDEA) for one or more of the following reasons:

• Student has been placed in one of the district’s less restrictive programs and has been found to need a more restrictive setting. The change of placement occurs through the IEP process.

• Student was placed in a NPS or NPA program by another school district prior to the student’s Irvine residency. The placement will continue until reviewed by the IEP team.

• District is unable to provide the type or amount of service required in the student’s IEP due to lack of staff with appropriate qualifications or level of expertise.

• Students, with extreme mental health needs, who are in danger of harming themselves or others and have not been successful in less restrictive placements, may be placed in residential NPS schools in California or out-of-state placements.

Each year the district prepares a master agreement for special education services with nonpublic schools and nonpublic agencies. In addition to the general agreement, individual service agreements for each identified special education student are negotiated at each IEP meeting. NPS/NPA providers work cooperatively with the district to provide services unattainable within the district or other local public schools.

At the November 2014 Facilities Study Session, the board requested that the planning department review the implementation of the Creekside High School master plan components.  The following meetings were held since this request to validate the 2012 master plan scope:

December 12, 2014 – Brainstorming with leadership, review the 2012 master plan assumptions
January 26, 2015 – Meeting with Principal to discuss program needs and priorities
March 17, 2015 – Meeting with leadership to review process to update the master plan vision
April 27, 2015 – Meeting with the Exploratory Committee to review new program opportunities

The Exploratory Committee includes the following IUSD staff:

Jenna Berumen, Coordinator Creekside HS Guidance Resources
Catherine Holmes, Director, Education Services
Patsy Janda, CTE Consultant
Stan Machesky, Director, Elementary Education
Daniel Morris, Creekside HS Principal
Racquel Nedden, Coordinator Education Services
Marcia Noonan, Coordinator Health Services
Keith Tuominen, Director, Secondary Education

The outcome of these meetings resulted in a revision to the 2012 master planning components to better meet Creekside HS’s program needs as well as district-wide facility use.  As a result of these discussions, the primary changes to the current master plan were to modify the multipurpose room function from a combined Gym/Performance space to an Assembly space for performances, removal of the fitness lab, reduction of the Food Service space and an addition of two Career Technical labs.

Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke (RRC) will assist IUSD with updating the master plan space program, revising the new building site layout, creating conceptual floor plans, building mass studies, and updating the cost estimates.  RRC will provide recommendations on the phasing for the updated master plan components to assist IUSD in evaluating budgets and potential funding options.

The timeline to complete this work will be approximately three months.  The Exploratory Committee will review and provide input on the updated master plan components.  A presentation will be made to the board at the 2015 Fall Study Session.

The District Facilities staff in conjunction with the Irvine Community Development Company has identified a 10 acre site for the proposed PA 5B Elementary School. The school site is located within the Eastwood Village Community. The site is bordered by a public park to the north, two public streets located on the west and south sides, and a paseo to the east side of the site. 

An initial site visit was conducted in September of 2014 by the California Department of Education’s (CDE) area representative. In December of 2014, IUSD received a recommendation from CDE to proceed with further evaluation of the site including the submittal of a detailed Site Package.  Final CDE approval of the Site Package was received on May 21, 2015.

The Community Facilities District 09-1 mitigation agreement calls for an independent appraisal of the property.  Both IUSD and the Irvine Company mutually agreed upon the appraiser, Gary L. Vogt  & Associates.  The land area is approximately 10 acres and was appraised at $40,014,000.  As delineated in the mitigation agreement, both the Irvine Company and IUSD agreed on the sale price.

IUSD’s legal counsel, Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo has reviewed and approved the sales agreement.  The approval of the PA 5B Elementary School property purchase agreement will place the property in escrow, with a scheduled close of escrow to occur shortly thereafter given closing conditions have now been met. 

Educational Code section 17211 requires a School District to conduct a public hearing regarding the suitability of a project site for school construction using the site selection standards established by CDE.  After said public hearing, the Board may approve the Site, and the Purchase Agreement documents associated with the acquisition of the Property.

1. Conduct Public Hearing
2. Acting as the governing body of Community Facilities District No. 09-1, adopt Resolution No. 14-15-46 Approving Purchase Agreement and Final Acceptance of Real Property for the Proposed Planning Area (PA) 5B Elementary School.

The passage of Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) legislation (Assembly Bill 97 and Senate Bill 91) represented a historic reform to California’s educational funding system.

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is an important component of the LCFF.  Under the LCFF all LEAs are required to prepare a LCAP, which describes how they intend to meet annual goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities identified pursuant to Education Code section 52060(d).  The governing board of each LEA shall adopt a LCAP on or before July 1st of each year.

Education Code section 52062(b)(2) requires that the public meeting at which a school district governing board adopts a LCAP and adopts a budget must be held after, but not on the same day as, the public meeting at which the governing board holds the required public hearings on the LCAP and the proposed budget.  The LCAP Public Hearing is scheduled for June 2, 2015 with the LCAP adoption scheduled to be brought to the Board for consideration on June 23, 2015.  The new requirement became effective with the 2014-15 budget year.

LCAP Development
The LCAP must focus on eight areas identified as state priorities.  The plans will also demonstrate how the district’s budget will help achieve the goals, and assess each year how well the strategies in the plan were able to improve outcomes. The LCAP is a process to gather input from all the stakeholders in the learning community about goals and priorities of the district.

LCAP Outreach
Each school district must engage parents, educators, employees and the community to establish these plans.  The plans will describe the school district’s overall vision for students, annual goals and specific actions the district will take to achieve the vision and goals.

LCAP Overview
In order to meet the 8 state priorities as outlined in the Local Control Funding Formula legislation, IUSD has developed four goals:

1. Ensure all students attain Proficiency in the Current Content Standards
2. Ensure Access to Rigorous and Relevant Learning Tools, Resources and Skills for all Staff and Students
3. Cultivate a Positive School Culture and System of Supports for Student Personal and Academic Growth
4. Communicate Effectively and Form Strategic Alliances to Secure the Support and Resources Necessary to Deliver Our Vision

In addition to actions that are part of the three year original LCAP, these district goals are supported by the following actions.  Actions were developed based on stakeholder input.

Hold a public hearing and consider all comments regarding the 2015-16 LCAP.

The 2013–14 Budget Act included passage of landmark legislation that shifts California from a complex school finance system to one focused on equity, transparency, and performance through the LCFF and related Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The changes represent a major shift in how California funds LEAs. For nearly 40 years, California has relied on a system that included general purpose funding (known as revenue limits) and more than 50 tightly defined categorical programs to provide state funding to LEAs. Attempts have been made in the past decade to simplify the categorical programs structure, but this effort was limited, first to consolidation with modest flexibility, then to making a wide range of programs flexible without reforming the funding system.

Education Code section 52062(b)(2) requires that the public meeting at which a school district governing board adopts a LCAP and adopts a budget must be held after, but not on the same day as, the public meeting at which the governing board holds the required public hearings on the LCAP and the proposed budget.  The Budget Public Hearing is scheduled for June 2, 2015 with the Budget adoption scheduled to be brought to the Board for consideration on June 23, 2015.  The new requirement became effective with the 2014-15 budget year.

As advertised in the Orange County Register, the 2015-16 proposed budget has been made available for public inspection at the IUSD District Office.
