| 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.

| On June 14, 2014, the Board of Education approved the contract for Bid Package No. 02-2 Site Utilities for the Portola High School project, to JPI Development Group, Inc.
Per Public Contract Code Section 9203, the legislative body can reduce the retention withheld up to half of the code required 5% of the contract price if more than 50% of the work is complete and the progress made by the contractor is satisfactory. OCDE legal services reviewed the interpretation and confirmed the Board has the ability to reduce the withheld retention by half.
As of June 2015, JPI Development Group, Inc. is 96% complete with their contract work and the remaining 4% of work is for the connection of onsite utility systems to the utility systems located in the adjacent streets. The adjacent streets have not yet been constructed by the developer and therefore, JPI Development Inc. is not able to complete their work on the project. Due to the circumstances and satisfactory progress, staff recommends release of half of the retention withheld for the contract with JPI Development Inc. for Bid Package No. 02-2 Site Utilities.
If the Board approves to release half of the held 5% retention, the remaining 2.5% retention is sufficient to secure the completion of all remaining contract work.

Our district's approach to continuous improvement was originally derived from Dr. W. Edwards Deming's concept of Total Quality Management (TQM). TQM ensures that every aspect of an organization is continuously scrutinized for potential improvement, sometimes called Continuous Performance Improvement (CPI).
While clearly there are advantages for the organization to focus on a limited number of improvement efforts, we know from experience that the most dynamic units in our organization are working concurrently on multiple fronts to improve their results. Some of those fronts engage all members of the school staff, while others are pursued by smaller groups of teachers within the school. To support this more effective approach, the Continuous Improvement Council identifies important directions across a wide spectrum of school programs. Identifying key directions in each area positions the district to encourage and be supportive of multiple improvement efforts that occur on a school-by-school or teacher-by-teacher basis.
Our Continuous Improvement Council convenes to review the status of program improvement efforts, district-wide assessment data, and emerging needs and opportunities. In 2011-2012, we made substantial revisions to the Continuous Improvement Efforts document with the goal of condensing the document so that it could more purposefully guide goal setting and instruction at each of our schools. In 2012-2013, in lieu of convening the Council, we surveyed each certificated staff member to gather their input regarding the impact of our CIE document and the extent to which the Continuous Improvement Efforts are informing their work. The survey provided evidence that the new document is resonating with staff and playing a more purposeful role in guiding instruction.
Our newly revised Continuous Improvement Efforts document represents an important first step toward codifying our instructional mission. The principles and practices imbedded in the document capture the tenets of strong instruction, so much so that we believe a natural extension of this document would include a description that captures the qualities of strong teachers. In fact, as we embark on hiring 1,000 teachers over the next ten years, we believe there has never been a more important time to define our vision for the kinds of educators that we need. To that end, we are vesting our Council with responsibility for creating a portrait of the Irvine teacher.
The Continuous Improvement Council convened on March 13, 2014 to identify the characteristics, attitudes, and mindsets that we feel are integral for Irvine educators to embody and embrace. The Council included teacher representatives from each school along with a select group of students, district and site level administrators. We also included representatives from local University and college teacher certification programs. At the end of the day, the group had identified and defined characteristics that they believed were essential for IUSD educators to be successful. After the Council convened, our Education Services Department reviewed and consolidated the Council’s work and provided principals an opportunity for feedback. We brought a draft to the Board last July, and finalized that draft this past summer and fall after the Council reconvened to revisit and refine this work. Tonight, we are bringing forward the final version of the Irvine Top 10, and we are presenting it to you as part of our 2015-2016 Continuous Improvement Efforts.
School Level Targets
The Continuous Improvement Efforts document is designed as a roadmap, helping us "provide the highest quality educational experience we can envision." It represents the core of our instructional mission and the principles and practices that we must employ to ensure that we are meeting the needs of each student.
The document outlines the essential capacities that we intend to cultivate in both students and staff, and the guiding principles and practices that should inform and define our work. This year, ALL schools were asked to identify at least ONE school(s) goal based on the essential capacities.
In addition to a school-wide goal, we asked that individual teachers develop a goal that supported school and/or departmental targets and led to the development of the essential capacities. The guiding principles and practices served as the guidelines for developing this goal.
Next year, we are asking our schools and our individual teachers to establish new goals or to continue with existing ones aligned to the Continuous Improvement Efforts. All goals should focus on developing the essential capacities within our students to support their success in college, career, and life.
Purposes
The purposes served by the annual identification of these improvement efforts include:
- Providing focus for limited resources
- Providing leadership impetus for improving areas of most significant need and opportunity
- Communicating high priority efforts
- Coordinating the improvement efforts of district, school, and individual staff members
- Providing focus for special funding searches
- Determining areas of potential emphasis for staff development

Assistant Superintendent Parham reported on the history of IUSD's Curriculum Council, which was renamed the Continuous Improvement Council to more aptly describe its mission. She advised that, over the past seven years, the Council has expanded by broadening the participation within the Council and expanded the essential capabilities IUSD educators strive to develop in our students by utilizing the principles and practices we know we have to embrace and employ to cultivate those capacities. The Council has examined the “Who”, who we are and who we need in our organization to help us achieve our goals, and have outlined the qualities that we hope to see in educators providing instruction in IUSD. Additionally, the Council examined the “What”, what are the specific areas of focus and growth that will help IUSD educators to realize the promise of our instructional mission.
Director of Professional Learning & Curriculum Development, Catherine Holmes, reviewed the “How” focus of the Council, which includes utilizing professional learning as the “How” to reach the District’s goals. Next year, while expanding the current focus areas, the Council will also examine the “Now” which emphasizes collaboration, communication, evidence, feedback and data to achieve program alignment.
Board members discussed the importance of a broad representation of diverse staff and continuing to utilize empowered accountability to encourage intellectual risk-taking among staff. |
