| Paradigm Healthcare Services is a full-scale Medicaid reimbursement billing partner serving local education and government agencies. The PRJUSD Board of Trustees approved our partnership with Paradigm Healthcare Services in June 2017. The decision to switch partnerships was driven by Paradigm's experience, reputation, collaboration, accessibility, and accountability to audit ready results. They have been a wonderful partner and continue to provide us with excellent customer service and support. The term of our contract with Paradigm Healthcare Services is from July 1, 2017-June 30, 2020.
As part of this partnership, an updated Agreement for Disclosure and Use of Medi-Cal Data is required between PRJUSD and the California Department of Health Care Services.
The purpose of the agreement is to secure the data and documents that reside in the California Department of Health Care Services Medi-Cal systems of records, to ensure the integrity, security, and confidentiality of such data and documents and to permit only appropriate disclosure and use as permitted by law.
There is no financial impact for the Agreement for Disclosure and Use of Medi-Cal Data. |

In October, 2018, the IEP team found it necessary to change the student's placement to a more appropriate environment which will meet student's unique learning profile, communication, and behavioral needs.

| By March 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CSSP). The CSSP is required by Education Code 32282-32289 to be reviewed, updated, and submitted for approval to the district’s governing board. |
| This mandate was established by Senate Bill 187 which states that each school’s Site Council, or a Safety Planning Committee authorized by the Site Council, shall develop a safety plan that is relevant to the needs and resources of the school. The contents of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan include aspects of social, emotional, and physical safety for both youth and adults at our schools. CSSPs also include procedures for complying with existing laws related to school safety. |

| The District's fiber connection between the Teacher Center (Datacenter) and SLOCOE is up for renewal. This fiber is the physical transport mechanism that connects us to the Internet through SLOCOE.
We received three bids for fiber transport services. Staff recommends to award the bid to Spectrum, the lowest cost bidder. This is a 3-year contract which will take effect July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2022.
The pre-discount cost of the service is $9,300 annually. After the District’s e-rate discount of 80%, the annual cost is $1,860. |

| The attached proposal is for the reprogramming of our existing Rapid Identity software from Novell eDirectory to Microsoft Active Directory (AD). The Rapid Identity automates the creation, modification, and deletion of all staff and student network accounts as they come into and out of the District via the Aeries Student Information System. It then replicates these accounts with other District services such as Aeries, Google, Destiny, and Lightspeed, and gives users access to Chromebooks, desktop/laptop computers, printers, etc.
The reprogramming is necessary to migrate our current Novell directory to Microsoft AD which will save the District approximately $64,000 in recurring licensing costs for Novell, desktop/iPad management, and anti-virus software, as replacement solutions are already bundled into our current Microsoft license agreement but require Microsoft AD to operate. |
