In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which temporarily suspends provisions of the Brown Act relating to public meetings. As such, Elk Grove Unified School District Board members will be conducting the open session of the Special Board Meeting via Zoom video/teleconferencing.

Zoom Online Meeting Platform

Zoom is an online meeting platform that will be used by the Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Education during the current State social distancing and shelter at home order. Those who wish to view the meeting will need an internet connection and device. Zoom is compatible with Windows and Apple computers, along with iPhones, iPads, Chromebooks and Android devices. The device must have working speakers to hear the meeting.

Please note:  If Zoom is not currently installed on a computer or device, Zoom will ask to download a small app to the computer or device. Please accept the install to continue to the Zoom meeting. Zoom will only need to install the app the first time a computer or device is used with Zoom. Mobile device users can install the Zoom app prior to a meeting by visiting their app store. ZOOM Cloud Meetings is the name of the app.

On March 10, 2021 the Board approved $1.5 million in ongoing and $200,000 in one-time 2021-22 fiscal year funding priorities that were associated with positions.

Using the budget development criterion below, the remaining priorities (representing approximately $2.4 million) were placed on hold as the district evaluated the Governor's 2021-22 January budget proposal along with the funding received in response to COVID-19:

• Maintain Fiscal Solvency
• Maintain/Evaluate What We Have Built Over Past Few Years
• Remain Competitive
• Build Upon What We Have Already Started
• Contemplate New Programs/Initiatives

Staff will present a historical review of how the priorities have been approached year to year and how the priorities have been addressed by the Board.  Staff will also review the current remaining priorities, their status and options for the Board to consider for 2021-22.  The Board will be asked to take action on the remaining priorities at the May 18, 2021, regularly scheduled Board meeting.

The Board will be reviewing and discussing actions/services related to the District’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant (AB 86 – ELO) specific to supplemental instruction and support to students.  Consideration will also be given to how this work integrates with the District’s full amount of COVID-19 relief monies.  Specifically, the Board will:

• Review and discuss the Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant Plan template
• Review and discuss the District’s prioritized ELO list of actions/services
