Student Board Representatives from Laguna Creek and Sheldon high schools will present updates and provide the Board via prerecorded video with information regarding ongoing academics and activities from their school sites.

The Board of Education is requested to adopt Resolution No. 58, that designates May 2021 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Asian Pacific American Heritage Week began in 1978 when President Jimmy Carter signed a Joint Resolution designating this as an annual celebration.  In May of 1990, the recognition was expanded further when George H. Bush designated May to be Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.  May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869.  The majority of workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

Throughout the year, the contributions of Americans with Pacific Rim heritage are presented in the regular curriculum; however, this special focus for one month serves as a reminder of the combined contributions of this group.

The celebration of the Asian Pacific American community is important now more than ever given the rise of anti-Asian sentiment nationwide due to xenophobia and racism related to the global COVID-19 health pandemic.

The Board is requested to approve Resolution 61, 2020-21, recognizing May 4, 2021 as Day of the Teacher in the Elk Grove Unified School District.

Thousands of communities will take time out on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 to honor their local educators and to acknowledge the contributions they make to our lives.  While it certainly takes many people to make a school succeed, National Teacher Day focuses on the teachers who work to make public schools great places for students to succeed in life.

The Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Education is asked to approve the attached resolution.

Pre-Requisite(s): Mathematics II

The following Requests for Revision to an Existing Board-Adopted Course have undergone review and approval by the appropriate subject-area steering committee(s), the EGUSD Curriculum Council, and have the support of principals.

AP Computer Science A (Course #12118) (CTE Elective, Grades 11-12)

It is requested that revisions to this CTE course be made as follows:

• The graduation credit be changed to mathematics credit from elective credit;
• The grade levels be changed to grades 10-12 from grades 11-12;
• The pre-requisite(s) be changed from “Mathematics I with a grade of C or better or instructor approval; Mathematics II with a grade of C or better; and AP Computer Science Principles” to “Mathematics II and either Computer Science Principles or AP Computer Science Principals.”
• Add “Single Subject Mathematics” and “SuppAuth-Computer Science” to the credentials listed for this course.

Rationale: Currently, AP Computer Science A earns EGUSD elective graduation credit.  Recently, the UCOP approved this course as a “c” (math) course.  Education Code states that computer science courses that are “c”-approved may be used by the LEA to awarded one year of mathematics graduation credit, providing that more than two years of math are required for graduation.  The grade-level change brings the course into alignment with UC “a-g.”  The CTE prerequisite change to “Mathematics II and Computer Science Principles or AP Computer Science Principles” ensures pathway cohesion.  Sites that do not wish to use this course as part of a CTE pathway will use course #07513 which is a non-CTE course.

Computer Aided Design/Drafting (CADD) (Course #12100) (Mathematics, Grades 9-10)

It is requested that the EGUSD graduation credit earned be changed to elective and CTE credit from mathematics credit.

Rationale: This course is not a UCOP “a-g”-approved course.  Per Education Code, students cannot be awarded math credit for this course.  From the CA Math Graduation Requirements page, https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/hsgrmath.asp, “If the local educational agency (LEA) requires more than two courses in mathematics for graduation from high school, the LEA may award a student up to one mathematics course credit for successfully completing a “category C”-approved computer science course, as stated in EC 51225.35.”

Transition to Quantitative Reasoning (Course #03661) (Mathematics, Grade 12)

It is requested that the grade level be changed to Grades 11-12 from Grade 12.

Rationale: While originally designed for grade 12 students, this course has a Math III pre-requisite; and, in fact, the target audience is students whose Math III grade is a C/C-.  Since grade 10 students may take Math III, there are grade 11 students who meet this proposed change to the pre-requisite.

Quantitative Reasoning with Advanced Math Topics (Course #03147) (Grade 12)

It is requested that the grade level be changed to Grades 11-12 from Grade 12.

Rationale: While originally designed for grade 12 students, this course has a Math III pre-requisite; and, in fact, the target audience is students whose Math III grade is a C/C-.  Since grade 10 students may take Math III, there are grade 11 students who meet this proposed change to the pre-requisite.

Engineering Design A (Course #12346) (Grades 10-11)

It is requested that the EGUSD graduation credit earned be changed to elective and CTE credit from mathematics credit.

Rationale: This course is UCOP approved as an Interdisciplinary “g” course.  Per Education Code, students cannot be awarded math credit for this course.  From the CA Math Graduation Requirements page, https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/hsgrmath.asp, “If the local educational agency (LEA) requires more than two courses in mathematics for graduation from high school, the LEA may award a student up to one mathematics course credit for successfully completing a “category C”-approved computer science course, as stated in EC 51225.35.”

Driver Education (Course #07001) (Elective, Grades 10-12)

It is requested that the course description for this course be revised as follows:

This course meets the California Department of Motor Vehicles’ requirement of a Driver Education course.  The knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students learn in this course can help them avoid traffic tickets, lower their chances of being involved in accidents, and establish safe driving habits.  Upon successful completion of Driver Education, students will receive their Certificate of Completion of Driver Education and be able to provide the required information needed to obtain a learner’s permit.

Adopted curricular materials: Drive Right, Addison/Wesley

Rationale: The existing course description is not aligned to current DMV requirements or course content.  Additionally, the description does not reflect resources available to provide instruction at all high school sites.

IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches HL1 (Course #20080) (Grades 11-12)

It is requested that the basic curriculum for this course be changed to “Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, 5^th Edition, AP Edition,” (currently adopted for AP Calculus BC) from its current basic curriculum “Haese Mathematics Analysis and Approaches HL 1, Book 2, First Edition, Copyright 2019, and “Haese: Mathematics Core Topics HL, Book 1, First Edition, Copyright 2019.

On November 8, 2016 the electorate approved Measure M, authorizing the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds of the District in an amount not to exceed $476,000,000.

Consistent with the parameters prescribed by Resolution No. 54, 2020-21, the District successfully sold the third series of Measure M bonds in the amount of $140.5 million and the sale resulted in a significantly lower cost than budgeted in the previously presented and original bond series and structuring plan.

Administration and the District’s financial advisor, Government Financial Strategies (GFS), will review the specific details and results of the April 6, 2021 bond sale.  In addition, pursuant to Education Code 15146 there are statutorily required disclosures to be made at the Board meeting immediately following the sale that will also be included in the presentation (attached).

Regular progress reporting and monitoring of the implementation of the educational equity strategic plan is necessary for accountability, transparency, and guidance.

The presentation will include information specific to:

• An update on Racial Justice
• Families of Black Students United (FBSU)
• Newcomer/Refugee Supports
• Upcoming events

The Board of Education will be asked to conduct a Public Hearing to present the agreement reached through negotiations, dated March 5, 2021.  With affirmative action by NUHW to ratify the agreement, and the AB 1200 review approval by the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE), the Board of Education is asked to (1) Open a public hearing and receive comments on the agreement; (2) Close the public hearing after listening to comments.  After closing the public hearing, the Board is asked to take action to approve (ratify) the agreement.

Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) and the National Union of Health Care Workers (NUHW), have signed an agreement, First Addendum to Memorandum of Understanding, dated September 24, 2020, for the 2020-21 school year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The AB 1200 review has been approved by the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE).  The EGUSD Board is asked to approve (ratify) the attached agreement.  In addition, Education Code Section 3540.2 stipulates a fiscal review by the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) of negotiated agreements to determine the financial impact of the agreement on the District budget.  Therefore, the AB 1200 report, which provides the financial analysis of the MOU, is attached, and was submitted to SCOE for their review, and approval.

The Board of Education is asked to (1) adopt Resolution No. 60, 2020-2021 of Intention to Convey Electrical Facilities Easements to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District for the Pleasant Grove Elementary School project; and (2) to set a public hearing on May 4, 2021, at 9510 Elk Grove-Florin Road, in the Board Room at 6:00 p.m.

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District has requested that the District convey an Electrical Facilities Easement on the Pleasant Grove Elementary School site at 10160 Pleasant Grove School Road, Elk Grove, California.

The final configuration of the easement will be determined, at SMUD’s expense, upon the completion of the installation of the electrical facilities, recording the easement accurately in relation to the facilities.

The purpose of the easements is to allow the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to access, construct and maintain electrical facilities serving the Pleasant Grove Elementary School campus.

The Resolution of Intention must be adopted by a 2/3 vote by the Board. 

As prescribed, notice of this intention will be published in the Sacramento Bee, and posted at Pleasant Grove Elementary School, the Robert L. Trigg Education Center, and the Elk Grove Post Office (8850 Williamson Drive).
