Student Board Representatives from Calvine, Elk Grove, and Florin high schools will present updates and provide the Board with information regarding ongoing academics and activities from their school sites.

The Board of Education is requested to approve Resolution  No. 58, 2017-18 proclaiming April 2018 as Public Schools Month in the Elk Grove Unified School District.

During the 1920’s, the Free and Accepted Masons of California initiated the annual recognition of the role that public schools play in our communities.  Since then, the state of California has designated April as Public Schools month.

The purpose of Public Schools Month is to encourage communities to set aside time to honor our public schools and to enlist the community’s continued support for public education.

Our schools are holding their spring Open Houses on evenings in March, April, and May.  Community members are invited to visit our schools during their Open Houses and during Public Schools Month.

All items listed on the consent agenda will be acted upon by one motion, without discussion. Should any item need to be considered separately, that item will be pulled for discussion/action.

The Board is asked to approve the minutes from the regular board meeting that was held on March 6, 2018.

Public Code Section 20118 provides a statutory exception to the competitive bidding requirements set forth in the Public Contract Code by allowing districts to utilize cooperative bids secured by other districts or public entities for the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment.

It is in the best interest of the Elk Grove Unified School District to utilize the contract and pricing from National IPA for the purchase of cafeteria tables.

Transportation would like to surplus the following vehicles that have been deemed unreliable:

Public Contract Code §3400, intends to establish uniform, complete and compatible service systems for Maintenance and Operations, Technology Services, Food and Nutrition Services, Curriculum Professional Learning, Learning Support Services and Transportation Departments district-wide in order to facilitate the most reliable, dependable, cost efficient, and feasible education for school children in the district.

The following goods and services have been identified:

• Playground Equipment
• Keys
• Cores and Door Hardware
• Exit Lighting Fixtures
• Time Controls
• Plumbing Products and Components
• Irrigation Systems
• Data Network Devices
• Computer Equipment
• Telephone Systems

• Beverages (100% Fruit Slushie)
• Training Services

The Board is asked to approve the attached Charter School Facilities Agreement between the Elk Grove Unified School District and the California Montessori Project for the 2018/2019 school year.

Proposition 39, approved by the voters on November 7, 2000, added Section 47614 to the Education Code which generally requires school districts to make available facilities for charter schools operating within their boundaries.  In May of 2002, the State Board of Education adopted regulations to implement Section 47614 as part of Title 5 Code of Regulations. 

On October 1, 2002, the California Montessori Project (CMP) first petitioned the Elk Grove Unified School District for facilities under the provisions of these regulations for the 2003/2004 school year.  It was determined that the most effective means to provide facilities was to assume a pro rata share of CMP’s lease for their school on Elk Grove Boulevard (Old Elk Grove Elementary).  After negotiations with CMP under the counsel of Best, Best, and Krieger, administration developed an agreement which was approved by the Board of Education in October 2003.  Subsequent petitions and agreements to assume a pro rata share of CMP’s lease have been negotiated annually since then.

Administration has received a petition for facilities from CMP for the 2018/2019 school year, conferred with CMP staff, and finalized an agreement for the 2018/2019 school year.  Attached is the Charter School Facilities Agreement (“Agreement”) for approval.  The Agreement offers $83,105.70, to be paid in a series of monthly installments, to pay a pro rata share of 4.9 teaching stations and 112.3 square feet of office/RSP space for the 2018/2019 school year.  This is comparable to the space offered to our own students and therefore the space the CMP students would expect at our schools.  The determinations for space are calculated by standards set forth in the Title 5 Regulations and contained in Attachments A and B of the Agreement.

Administration recommends approval of the Agreement for the 2018/2019 school year.

Attachment:  Charter School Facilities Agreement, 2018/2019

Over the last two and-a-half years, the EGUSD Technology Steering Committee, comprised of teachers, administrators, and instructional coaches, developed new EGUSD K-12 Technology Standards to replace the current standards that were adopted in 2010. Three community meetings were held to seek initial input regarding what foundational technology skills our students need to be successful.  Because technology is an integrated part of students’ everyday life, coupled with the ever-changing technological world, it was determined that the existing technology standards needed to be updated to prepare students for success in school and beyond. 

These new standards, developed by EGUSD staff in conjunction with business and post-secondary partners, include the over-arching skills of Creativity and Innovation, Problem Solving, Analytical Skills, and Communication.  Both employers and post-secondary partners have indicated that the top three technology skills students need to be successful upon graduation are word processing skills, the use of presentation software, and communication skills. With that in mind, the new standards include:

• Digital Citizenship/Security/Social Engineering/Safety

• Communication and Collaboration

• Word Processing

• Problem Solving, Computational Thinking (Coding), and Troubleshooting

• Spreadsheets and Databases

• Research Skills, Internet Searching, and Online Databases

• Emerging Technology

• Multimedia and Presentation Tools

• Acceptable Use of Copyright and Plagiarism

• Organization and Project Tools

• Basic Operations and Concepts, Log-in, File Management, and Personal Data Management

   

In accordance with BP 6161.1, the following instructional materials have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate subject-area steering committee(s) and the Curriculum Standards Committee, have the support of principals, and are being submitted to the Board of Education for adoption.

The Attendance Improvement Office will provide an update on the work of the AIO and the Attendance Improvement Plan.

Staff and representatives from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) will provide information to the Board of Education regarding an opportunity to participate in SMUD’s newly developed SolarShares Program.

Through the SolarShares Program, SMUD would own and maintain over 11,000 kW of solar arrays on the district’s behalf and deliver low cost clean renewable solar power to the district using existing infrastructure.  It is anticipated that for the life of the program the District could save over $7 million in energy costs, while also receiving the benefit of utilizing clean renewable energy for our schools.

This mutual benefit provides SMUD with a long-term commitment by the District to purchase solar energy from their solar array thereby enhancing SMUD’s overall goal of producing green energy.  The district would experience a 20-year fixed rate for approximately 49% of its current annual electrical consumption without regard to future and certain rate increases by SMUD, realizing significant saving opportunities without any capital investment or maintenance costs associated with solar panels and arrays.

This item will be brought back for approval at the next Board of Education meeting on April 3, 2018.

Not applicable.
