Superintendent Cheryl Jordan will hold special recognitions as part of this evening's report. Board members will be asked to take a photo in front of the dais following each presentation. Tonight's honorees include:
-Milpitas High School's Science Olympiad team has had a successful year, including at the Mountain House tournament the first weekend in February. The team will show a short video (two to three minutes) created by student Kelly Lue with highlights.
|
The Board recognized members from the Milpitas High School Science Olympiad team, and coaches Letta Meyer and Roberto Alvelais for their hard work during the year and in preparation for recent tournaments.
Coach Meyer explained that Science Olympiad is a national competition where students compete in 23 different events -- ranging from non-traditional high school science topics such as rocks and minerals to traditional high school science topics such as Chemistry Lab and building events such as Electric Vehicle -- as a team of 15. She added that even though there are two to three students who officially compete in each event, it takes the entire team and the alternates to prepare for the competition day, and multiples teams attend competitions.
After Coach Letta explained the club’s background and recent accomplishments, a video prepared by student Kelly Lue was shared with the audience. Afterward, students Katherine Hubeny and Michelle Wang demonstrated their helicopter, powered completely by a rubber band.
Superintendent Jordan introduced Shangrila Mia-Ramzan, currently co-principal of ACE Empower Academy, as the new Interim Assistant Principal at Pomeroy Elementary School. She will begin March 15. Shangrila was a teacher for 13 years in Franklin-McKinley School District and other school districts down south, before taking the helm of ACE. She is also the parent of three students in Milpitas Unified.
After being introduced, Shangrila came forward to thank the Superintendent, Board Members, and those who interviewed her for being selected for the position.

Wendy Zhang, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, called Brian Shreve, Director of Maintenance, Operations, and Transportation, to the podium to give the Board a quick update of how we weathered through the storm a couple weeks ago. He shared the short- and long-term plans the team does throughout the year to minimize issues. The main issue was with trees: maintaining, taking down trees, etc. No trees fell on property. The team also experienced better drainage this year due to proactive staff.
Norma Rodriguez, Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Development, shared that state testing is coming up. She thanked her team, Director Raquel Kusunoki and Michelle Eacret, for training all administrators with the new protocols. All the schools have submitted their testing schedules; the testing window is March 21 to June 1. Most of the schools have two tests after spring break. This year will be different in that the science test will be administered online for NGSS. She said the California Accountability Dashboard will be unveiled to the public in March. LEAs have been given an opportunity to review the data, and site administrators were given a peak. The dashboard should inform LCAP development. Eight LCAP engagement sessions have occurred, with valuable feedback from the stakeholders. They will also survey all parents and staff members through ThoughtExchange to get more input through that avenue. The LCAP District Committee has attended two out of four all-day trainings with the SCCOE.
Dr. Sheila Murphy-Brewer, Executive Director of HR, said the week started in negotiations with CSEA. The next scheduled meeting is March 13. Tomorrow is the Labor Management Initiative. So she said we are really embracing the Culture of We and learning effective strategies in working together. Today, the first bulletin went out for certificated elementary teachers. Next week, they will look at transfers and openings, and looking at recruiting teachers for Milpitas. HR held a Family Medical Leave Update training and ed code, and new laws. The next reclassification meeting is March 8 next week; come up with a new system so it is more efficient. |

BACKGROUND: Milpitas Unified School District entered into a partnership with Summit Schools prior to the 2015-16 school year at two grade levels within two school sites. Now in its second year of implementation, the Summit model has spread to four school sites encompassing four grade levels.
The attached Personalized Learning presentation details the history of Summit schools, the role MUSD has played in the partnership, past and present models of instruction being implemented at the school sites, and the plan for expanding the Summit model to other sites within the district.

Greg Barnes, Director of Secondary Education, gave a presentation detailing the history of personalized learning through the history of Summit schools, the role Milpitas Unified School District has played in the partnership, past and present models of instruction being implemented at the school sites, and the plan for expanding the Summit model to other sites within the district.
“I wanted to start by beginning with a global perspective of what personalized learning is,” Greg opened. “I think for many of us this idea or this concept came about through our partnership with Summit a year and a half ago. But we made a concerted effort last year to expand what personalized learning is and identify where in the district we’re already doing it. … We can categorize it by the most broad of definitions that we focused on last year as personalized learning is getting students what they need when they need it.”
Summit, specifically, focuses on four areas of college and career readiness: cognitive skills through project time, content knowledge through personalized learning time, real-life experiences through expeditions, and habits of success through mentor and community time.
Principals Alicia Padilla, former principal Dr. Sheila Murphy-Brewer, Raquel Kusunoki shared input of how the students have embraced the curriculum, despite the challenges, since the implementation. Alicia emphasized the students have the ability to work at their own page while Dr. Brewer mentions she has never seen more independence and engagement through “productive struggle." Developmentally, the fifth graders at Weller, it took them a little longer while it is easier for sixth graders.
Dr. Barnes closed by adding that Milpitas Unified will host an information session about the Summit personalized learning platform from 3:30-5 p.m. Thursday, March 2 in Room 206 at the district office. The SUMMIT Summit will bring MUSD teachers currently using the PLP together for a showcase and question-and-answer session. This meeting is open to all. |

BACKGROUND: Proposition 39 requires the District to conduct an annual independent performance audit to ensure that funds have been expended only on the specific projects listed as well as an annual, independent financial audit of the proceeds from the sale of the bonds until all of the proceeds have been expended for facilities projects. The audit report for Measure “E” General Obligation Bond Fund for fiscal year 2015-2016 has been completed. A representative from Crowe Horwath LLP will make a brief presentation and answer the Board’s questions.

Wendy Zhang, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, said this report is required by Proposition 39, for the Measure E bond problem. This is for the last fiscal year, 2015-16. The auditor couldn’t be present, so she walked the Board through the report, attached here for public record. The auditor said the District’s financial statement was presented fairly, so there were no material mistakes. The second attachment detailed their process of the objective of their audit. They looked through the internal control system for checks and balances in the business office, like regulations for construction and the public bid process. All processes were found to be in compliance with the law. She walked Board Members through the financial statement and answered questions. The majority is for the new elementary school, while there are other items detailed for portables, furniture, etc. The income statement and expenditures were also listed.
The auditor will present this report to the Bond Oversight Committee, seven members representing the community, in April. They are the ones who oversee great detail. |

BACKGROUND: In 2015, staff presented information to the Board regarding facilities needs throughout the district, including potential architectural changes to Randall and Milpitas High School to accommodate enrollment growth. At that time, the district was not ready to move forward with executing steps necessary to gain funding that would support the actions outlined in the Master Facilities Plan. While there were many experts involved in designing the plans, there wasn’t enough of a grassroots effort in communicating District needs, building support, and developing a prioritized list for those needs. At tonight’s Board meeting, staff will present a summary of the 2015 actions, and will seek Board direction on these questions: - Facilities plan - shall staff take the established plan and update it with fresh input from parents, staff, and students, or start over?
- Master Plan Consultant - shall staff develop and or revise the existing master plan with the assistance of a consultant or rely solely on staff expertise?
- August Board meeting - is the August Board meeting an acceptable date for staff to present facilities needs so that the Board can determine priorities for today and the future?
In addition to staff and community discussions regarding facilities needs for the future, staff is working to complete a Bond 2012 public relations (PR) plan that will provide the public with information on how those funds were spent to provide state of the art and safe learning environments for our students. It is important that the Board and Superintendent continue to explore and implement other means for garnering funds that will support facilities improvements. One such example is the eRate funding that Technology Services Director Chin Song has applied for to supplement the cost of WiFi routers and switches by $750,000. Another idea that the Board might explore as suggested by both a member of the MUSD Facilities Naming Committee and Board Member Chris Norwood, is to offer to companies naming leases to buildings or to provide funding for buildings in exchange for name recognition. An example is the Sally Lucas Graduate School at SJSU; the building was named after Ms. Lucas in gratitude for a $10 million dollar donation to the school. Other funding sources are joint-use possibilities with the City of Milpitas, and Proposition 51 school bond construction.
|
|
Provide staff with direction in moving forward with grassroots effort to revise and update the 2015 facilities needs list.
|
Depends on outcome of Facilities Needs Plan and Priorities as determined by the Board |
Superintendent Jordan in conjunction with Joe Flatley, Director of Facilities Modernization, gave a 2018-2026 Master Facilities Planning presentation about Milpitas Unified School District. Following a summary of past bond planning efforts in 2014 and 2015, they sought Board direction on issues including whether the facilities plan should fold the established plan into the work and update it with fresh input from parents, staff, and students, or start over; whether staff should develop or revise the existing master plan with the assistance of a consultant or rely solely on staff expertise; and asked whether an August Board Meeting is an acceptable date for staff to present facilities needs so that the Board can determine priorities for today and the future.
Trustees agreed that the time-frame looks good, and they would be OK with a hybrid internal-consultant position if it is less than $300,000.
Superintendent Jordan emphasized the need to start a grassroots effort now in the bond study process, which will communicate District needs, building support, and developing a prioritized list for those needs. |

BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is to jointly implement the parties' respective obligations under Title IX as well as SJECCD's obligations under the Clery Act* and related responsibilities toward students and employees at the MUSD SJECCD Community College Extension located at 1450 Escuela Parkway. The Districts agree to fulfill their obligations regarding Title IX procedures and potential claims as outlined within the MOU: - If a student or employee asserts a claim against a MUSD employee or student, MUSD policies and procedures for Title IX shall be followed and administered by MUSD.
- If a student or employee asserts a claim against a SJECCD employee or student, SJECCD policies and procedures for Title IX shall be followed and administered by SJECCD.
- In those situations for which a post-secondary student may assert a claim following the Clery Act, SJECCD procedures and policies will be invoked and administered by SJECCD.
- The MOU provides that a student dually enrolled in SJECCD courses will be considered a SJECCD student for purposes of compliance with Title IX.
The MOU shall be in effect for two (2) years from commencement of operations at the Community College Extension. *The Clery Act only applies to those students who are solely post-secondary students, it does not apply to students dually enrolled in a college course for both college and high school credit. The Clery Act applies to those students who are sharing the same living quarters and offers protection against stalking and abuse.

BACKGROUND: During the 2015-16 negotiations between MUSD and CSEA Chapter 281, a side letter (Appendix E) agreement was made in the collective bargaining agreement of 2015-18 to conduct a pilot three-year Re-classification and Compensation Study program. The MOT Department was not to be reviewed until the 2017-18 school year; however, three employees and their supervisors submitted the necessary paperwork for a review during the 2016-17 year, and the MOU does allow for this review.
The study included gathering employee and supervisor input via the District’s Reclassification form, observing the employee(s) at work, interviewing the employee(s), analyzing the work being performed compared to the current job descriptions, and reviewing the language in multiple job descriptions from comparable districts. The following revised job descriptions are direct results of the findings from this study. This study was presented to the Executive Cabinet on January 31, 2017 and, after review by the Superintendent, the following recommendations have been proposed.
Number of Employees in the Classification: | Job Title: | Recommended Change: | Budgetary Impact (1 Year Salary and Benefits): | 2 | Journeyman - HVAC | Change from Range 31 to 33 and make necessary updates to job description. | $8,541.20 | 1 | Journeyman- Diesel Mechanic and Journeyman Diesel Mechanic Lead | It was determined that this employee will be moved into the position of Journeyman Diesel Mechanic Lead. Changes have been made to update both job descriptions | $4,270.60 | This action benefits the employees but also benefits the MOT Department, as it updates two of the job descriptions within their department. This reclassification will support the supervisors and improve the effectiveness of the department's response in addressing HVAC and mechanical needs by ensuring the Journeymen will have the ability to communicate with vendors and access the necessary supplies and parts as needed, particularly since the MOT department has been without an additional supervisor since budget cuts in 2007. Considering the timing of the initial requests, the three employee who will be impacted by this action will be paid retroactively to July 1, 2016.

BACKGROUND Milpitas Adult Education (MAE) hopes to enter into a MOU with Cal-PASS Plus, a program conducted by Education Results Partnership Inc., a California nonprofit benefit corporation (“ERP”) together with San Joaquin Delta College ("SJDC") and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office ("CCCCO"). Board approval is sought for the attached MOU. Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) funding, mandated through AB104, requires there to be historical reporting of students moving from one provider to another, K-12 and colleges, and other outcomes. Locally, MAE (MUSD) is a member of the South Bay Consortium Adult Education (SBCAE) along with four other local school and two community college districts: Campbell Union High School District, East Side Union High School District, Santa Clara Unified School District, Silicon Valley Adult Education (MetroEd), San Jose Evergreen CCD and West Valley Mission CCD. All of these members have existing MOUs with Cal-PASS Plus. In order for the two systems to integrate locally and statewide (community colleges and K-12), MAE will need to be a part of this data reporting endeavor. Cal-PASS Plus is the vehicle that integrates data and tracks student outcomes for SBCAE and AEBG (statewide). |

This item was pulled from the agenda so Trustee Hon Lien could ask two clarifying questions: How many students the program plans to have and whether it is intended just for the District.
Adult Ed Principal Usha Narayanan shared her hopes to have 240 students in both sessions. In addition, the catalogue will go out to all Milpitas school sites and parts of Berryessa and Fremont. She said the program is intended for Milpitas students but sometimes we don’t get the enrollment we need and go out to other districts. |
