The objective of the school-wide Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports services (PBIS) program is to improve student academic and behavior outcomes by ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional, behavioral practices, and interventions possible. PBIS provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. PBIS focuses on developing a decision-making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.

The PBIS trainers will be contracting with other school districts and entities to provide training, consulting, and direct coaching services. The income realized from these external contracts will be used to fund the PBIS program, thereby reducing impact to the General Fund.

The Irvine Unified School District PBIS trainers will be training and coaching staff at South Whittier School District. This agreement in the amount of $40,000 will be executed by IUSD PBIS staff in spring of 2015.

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 December 7, 2010, the Board of Education awarded the contract for Bid Package No. 07-1 Roofing and Waterproofing to F. Rodgers Corporation for the Deerfield Elementary School Expansion project in the amount of $459,848.00.

In 2012, F. Rodgers Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection and their surety, The Guarantee Company of North America USA (Surety) under bond No. 12073378, obtained relief from the automatic stay to secure payment under the construction agreements for which the Surety held the bond for this project.  Simultaneously, Wells Fargo Bank, a creditor of F. Rodgers Corporation began collection proceedings.

On behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, Irvine Unified District (District) received numerous demands to collect any funds due under the contract.  At the same time, the Surety demanded that the District remit all sums due under the contract.  Faced with conflicting demands for payment, the District held onto the proceeds and with legal counsel, attempted to resolve the dispute.  Staff, with the assistance of legal counsel, has now negotiated a Settlement and Release Agreement with The Guarantee Company of North America USA.

The total remaining funds on the contract between the District and the Surety are $71,399.30.  Under the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement, the Surety agrees that the District shall retain $10,000 of the contract balance to cover warranty issues and an additional $14,113.87 to cover Labor Compliance issues.  The District shall remit the remaining amount of the contract balance in the amount of $47,285.43 to Surety my means of a check.
