SUBJECT: Recommendation for Expenditure of BSEP Measure A Carryover Funds for Family Engagement and Equity in 2020-21

Funds remaining from BSEP Measure A of 2006 are available for expenditure “on all authorized purposes until exhausted.”^[1]  Following are the recommendations for expenditures of Measure A funds for the authorized purpose of Parent Outreach.

The BSEP Planning and Oversight (P&O) Committee reviews and approves plans for expenditure of BSEP Measure funds. The plans for funds allocated from Measure A Carryover for Parent Outreach in 2020-21 were reviewed and approved at regularly scheduled P&O meetings on June 2 and June 16.

Measure A Funds for Parent Engagement

The Office of Family Engagement and Equity (OFEE) was developed to create a welcoming and equitable school environment. The funding for the OFEE staffing, which had previously been supported through a combination of LCAP funds, BSEP Measure E1 and BSEP Measure A carryover funds, has shifted so the support for staffing is carried by LCAP, and the program has strengthened its focus on the “unduplicated” students (low income, English Language Learner and foster youth).  The funds remaining in Measure A will be dedicated to supporting the program needs for non-staffing costs. There are sufficient carryover funds to provide support at this level for one more year.

DATE:           October 7th, 2020
SUBJECT:  Overview of the SELPA  Policy Manual and Procedure Manual

BACKGROUND:
As a preview for the Board of Education, we plan to bring the SELPA  Policy Manual and Procedural Manual for adoption on October 7, 2020. AB 1808 (signed 6/27/18) required all SELPAs to amend their Local Plans to a common state template to increase transparency, accountability, and accessibility. Previously, each SELPA created its own plan template. The SELPA governing board  approved the SELPA Local Plan Amendment,  Policy Manual and Procedural Manual. The SELPA Community Advisory Committee signed off on the review.  We are now asking the school board to adopt the SELPA Policy Manual and Procedural Manual. This adoption was not triggered by the current Covid 19 Pandemic.

Recent legislative changes may translate into new SELPA policies, but only after the legislative language is stable (i.e., trailer bills have been signed) and five districts agree. SELPA-wide procedures may change when best practices are established and five districts agree.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Request the Berkeley Unified School District Board of Education take action to adopt the SELPA Policies Manual and Procedures

DATE:                October 7, 2020
SUBJECT:          Presentation of revised SELPA Local Plan

BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Local Plan is to:

1) assure access to special education and related services for all individuals with exceptional needs residing within the geographic areas served by the plan; and

2) to assure compliance with all federal and state codes and statutes

AB 1808 (signed 6/27/18) required all SELPAs to amend their Local Plans to a common state template to increase: Transparency, Accountability and Accessibility. Beginning July 1, 2020, a SELPA must review its Local Plan at least once every three years, and update the plan as needed to ensure information contained in the Governance and Administration section remains relevant and accurate. (California Education Code [EC] Section 56195.9)

What are major differences between the old SELPA Local Plan and revised Local Plan?

The largest difference between the old Local Plan requirements and the new template is the uniformity of the template.  The template now requires the same information to be provided in the same sequence by every SELPA in the state.  There are more components required that have detailed prompts that result in more detailed plan content.  The new template requires documentation of particular policies and procedures. The CDE did not add any new requirements in response to COVID-19

One of the requirements of the CDE for the SELPA Local Plan approval process requires an adoption by each participating LEA governing board.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Request the Berkeley Unified School District Board of Education take action to adopt the Special  Education Local Plan Amendment

SUBJECT: COVID-19 Response Funding 

PURPOSE:
To give an overview of funding received for Covid-19 Response, including Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and Senate Bill 117, which provide funding to School Districts to address the impact of COVID-19 on elementary and secondary schools. 

BACKGROUND:
In response to the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) the U.S. Congress passed the CARES Act, which was signed into law on Friday, March 27, 2020. This relief package provided states with both funding and streamlined waivers to give State educational agencies (SEAs) necessary flexibilities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The relief package includes $30.75 billion in emergency education funding. This funding will provide local educational agencies (LEAs) with emergency relief funds to address the impact COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools across the nation. In addition, we received funding from Senate Bill 117, also for the purpose of responding to the Covid-19 pandemic.

CARES ACT funding includes both the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, and Learning Loss Mitigation Funding (LLMF). State awards for the ESSER Fund are in the same proportion as each state received under Title I, Part A. The Learning Loss Mitigation Funding (LLMF), authorized by the 2020–21 budget package, appropriates over 5 billion from three different funding sources to be allocated to local educational agencies (LEAs) in order to support pupil academic achievement and mitigate learning loss related to COVID-19 school closures. The three different funding sources are Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) funds, Coronavirus Relief (CR) Fund, and funds from the state General Fund (GF).

NEXT STEPS:

• October  21, 2020 - Proposed adoption of CARES Act Expenditures

FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase in Federal and State funding in the amount of $6,076,756  for Cares Act Funding and SB 117

Re: Approval of Phased Plan for Returning to In-Person Learning

The Alameda County Office of Education and Alameda County Department of Public Health, as well as the City of Berkeley, recently announced that elementary schools may open on or after October 13, pending review of reopening plans by ACOE and CoB, and site visits by CoB. 

The decision and timing of when to open rests with each school and school district, and schools are not required to open if not ready.

In this presentation to the Board of Education, the Superintendent will propose for approval a plan for the phased reopening of BUSD elementary schools. The presentation will also introduce the BUSD "Reopening Readiness Dashboard", intended to represent the district's progress towards the completion of requirements for school reopening established by city, county, and state authorities.
