| Scientific Farm Animal Production: An Introduction to Animal Science is the single best integrated resource combining a strong disciplinary focus with best practices in production for the major livestock and poultry industries. A detailed study of eight primary livestock industries is examined along with market forces affecting demand across the supply chain as well as related societal issues and challenges. The 12th edition has updated industry data and insights, improved graphics and images, and simplified material adding greater meaning for students without a livestock production background. Public display was January 27 - February 7, 2020. |

| California Education Code requires the Board to certify at least twice a year the District's ability to meet its financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year and based on current forecasts, the subsequent two fiscal years. The Education Code further requires that these certifications be based upon the Board's assessment made using the state-adopted Criteria and Standards. Such Criteria and Standards include comparisons and review of ADA, revenues and expenditures, reserves, fund balances, and multi-year commitments. The Second Interim Financial Report is presented to the Board with a qualified certification. |

| Staff has worked with the Programs Taskforce, counselors, LCAP stakeholder groups and site leaders to look at program impacts for the 2020-2021 school year based on the additional budget reductions. |
Programs Reduction Proposal
|
|
|
| J. Gaviola |
| Staff recommends the reduction and/or elimination of particular kinds of services provided by certificated employees due to reduced or elimination of certain funds, and District program needs. Individuals may be laid off, if necessary, when the Governing Board has reduced particular kinds of services. Resolution No. 20-10 includes reference to the positions to be eliminated due to a reduction of particular kinds of services. Under state law, school districts must provide notice on or before March 15th to employees who are designated for layoff for the 2020-21 school year, if any. These individuals have the right to request a hearing to challenge the cause for layoff. The final decision for layoffs must occur before the 15th of May. |
| Budget reductions needed to assist in addressing the District’s fiscal uncertainty and based upon staffing needs. |
| |
Resolution 20-10 Certificated Layoff
|
|
|
| J. Gaviola |
| Under state law, school districts are required to provide not less than 60 days notice to classified employees of a layoff. The notice includes the effective date of the layoff, and the displacement and reemployment rights of the noticed employee. Resolution No. 20-11 lists classified positions that are ending based on program modifications and budgetary limitations.
With the adoption of Resolution 20-11, the Deputy Superintendent of Human Services will be directed to send notices to affected classified employees informing them that their services will not be required for the 2020-21 fiscal year.
Finally, the Resolution directs that layoff notices be sent to the appropriate classified employees in order to effectuate a reduction of the classified staff in an amount equal to the number of full-time equivalent positions listed on the Resolution in accordance with Education Code. |
