Staff is seeking Board of Trustees' authorization to award the bid for the Dublin Elementary School Water Conservation and Management, Increment 1 Project.
Staff recommends the Board of Trustees authorize award of bid for the Dublin Elementary School Water Conservation and Management, Increment 1 Project.
|
The Dublin Elementary School Water Conservation and Management, Increment 1 Project includes the renovation of the campus play fields, the construction of a fitness loop, utility installation, the construction of a school garden area, the removal and replacement of the southern driveway entrance and a portion of the sidewalks in front of the school, landscaping and irrigation, and the conversion of the campus irrigation to reclaimed water.
The Board of Trustees authorized staff to solicit Lease-Leaseback proposals for this project at the May 26th, 2015 Board Meeting and at the same meeting delegated authority to the Superintendent to award the construction contract pending expected DSA approval in July.
In June an appellate court ruling regarding the use of Lease-leaseback as a contract delivery vehicle brought into question the correct use of this contracting methodology. Staff has been in regular contact with District legal counsel but because the ruling is so recent there is still not clear direction on how to proceed with Lease-Leaseback contracting. In an abundance of caution staff has determined that bidding this project was the most appropriate way to move forward with the schedule sensitive project. |
| |
The Dublin Elementary School Water Conservation and Management, Increment 1 Project is an allocated Measure C Bond Project. Capital Building Fund (210). |
The purpose of this item is to authorize award of bid to the lowest responsible bidder for the construction of the Dublin Elementary School Water Conservation and Management, Increment 1 Project (WCMP). |

The public bid process for the Increment 1 began on July 27, 2015 and concluded with the opening of bids on August 13, 2015. The lowest responsible bidder is Bay Valley Construction, Inc. who submitted a bid of $1,965,095.00. This bid is within the project budget established for this portion of the work. |

|
|
| Q. Why was this type of MOU completed?
A. EDCC wanted to give the district funding for the new double wide EDCC building at Amador, basically to assist in supporting school building costs for the child care. This is what EDCC legal advised them they could do to assist with costs of construction. They must receive something in return for the $480,000 rental fees the will pay us over five years.
Q. Has any other school been funded in this fashion?
A. No this response just came up due to the challenge of funding schools without funding support from state. |
| It has been determined that it is in the best interests of the community and the District to offer child care services during before and after school hours at Amador Elementary. EDCC agrees to provide these services under the terms and conditions as stated in the attached agreement. The plan is to pay $8,000 per month for the rental of Amador Child Care Facility for the period of five years. |

|
|
| Q: Why was this agreement made with developers?
A: It takes years to build schools and developer built schools assisted us in leveraging up the land costs reimbursements from state and enabled us to build Fallon and Green sooner than we would have been able with District construction.
Q: Was this a good deal for the District?
A: In one sense yes, leveraging up our land cost reimbursement from the state was of critical value, but having inexperienced construction firms building schools was a challenge. The District is interested in building the best school possible for our students, the developer has more business person motives which sets up a challenging dynamic. It was not without challenges. |
| At this time the District will continue to collect the fees till we are reimbursed $11,710,171. This amount should be paid off sometime in 2016. The developer has $14,698,408 due them and after District's final payment is collected the district will still collect the fees but reimburse Dublin Ranch Schools on a quarterly basis.

| The Board of Trustees will receive an update regarding the progress of the College and Career Readiness Program (CCRP) for the 2015-16 school year. |
| Over the summer staff have worked to implement a seven period day, increase the training of Freshmen Mentors, revise the Freshmen Mentoring course and improve the Learning Center (Hub).

|
| |
| Staff has calculated total costs for the CCRP program to be approximately $1.2M. Funds will come as part of our Local Control Funding Formula as a budget priority. Costs could escalate as additional students attend Dublin High School.
|

Ms. Miller - Knows that the hiring of tutors is ongoing; how are we doing on that process? Ms. Byrne stated that there are still strong applicants coming in and being interviewed. Also asked about some of the scheduling requests that students made. If a student couldn't get their first choice what happens? Ms. Byrne stated every attempt is made to honor their first choice but sometimes students need to go with their second choice.
Ms. Ko - Stated that students and herself are excited for the Gael period. They like the fact that there will be a quiet place to go to for studying. Ms. Ko stated that the Freshman Seminar program seems like it will be a great addition for freshman students.
Ms. Rouse - Stated that it looks like a lot of work went into the planning. Would like to see the survey in the same format that was used for the WASC survey.
Mr. Tomlinson - Looks like a lot of planning has going into getting the kinks worked out in advance. Would suggest that the survey also include narrative feedback.
Mr. Cunningham - Has been supportive of this program from the very start. Wants to hear what students think of the program no matter what the outcome. He is excited to see how the program progresses.
Ms. Miller - Excited that the mentors are going to get the opportunity to work with our students and our freshman students are going to benefit from this great program. |
| Q. What are the two main elements of the College and Career Readiness Program as implemented in 2014-15?
A. Staff implemented a Freshmen Mentoring Program and tutorial services through the Learning Center for the 2014-15 school year.
Q. What are the new additions for this year?
A. We have added a seventh period to the school schedule. During this period, Freshmen will be taking an integrated Freshmen Seminar course. Sophomores through Seniors will have an academic preparation period (no classes). During this time they will access school services including tutoring, wellness/counseling, or they may work on assignments and projects.
Q: What are the details of the College and Career Readiness Program Implementation Plan?
A: The details of the College and Career Readiness Program Implementation Plan will be discussed in table format and this table is attached below. |
| The following programs were improved over the summer:
We have revised our Freshmen Mentoring program curriculum for ninth graders. Also, we are introducing a year long Freshmen Seminar. Under our revised plan, Freshmen would participate in the revised Freshmen Mentoring Program at lunch and also take an integrated course that includes college readiness skills, guided study and Health during their Freshmen year.
Additionally, this year we are adding a seventh period to the schedule. Freshmen would take the integrated Freshmen Seminar course during the additional period mentioned. Sophomores through Seniors would have this additional period of academic flex time (GAEL Period) to get academic support as well as to work on their assignments and projects.
Many support issues were worked out during the summer including the impact on special education students, alignment of after school times for sports and other student activities, food services offerings, furniture for the Hub, technology improvements, and increased staffing in key areas such as campus supervision and other classified support.

| Ms. McNeely stated that staff visited 7 K-8 schools within four different districts in the bay area. They gathered information that would help the facilities department design a facility that would better meet the needs of students in our district for a K-8 program model.
Comments:
Ms. Tomlinson-Appreciated being able to participate in the Charette. Overall, it lays out well. The three buildings closer to Central Parkway could be angled with the street so that central courtyard could be opened up. Asked about the possibility of a three-story school, due to the fact that there are three story buildings around the school.
Mr. Cunningham - Asked if the K-5 students would have daycare availability. Ms. McNeely stated that it is the intent to have it on the campus, it is just a matter of funding at this time. Dr. Hanke stated that the build at Amador was particularly expensive but looking at another model would be possible.
Ms. Miller - Asked about restrooms being available in certain classrooms. Ms. McNeely stated that flex classrooms would not have restrooms but would be plumbed, in case there is a future need.
Ms. Rouse - Likes how the design elements incorporate a sense of community and allow for the community to have access during non-school hours.
Dr. Hanke - Asked that with regard to Mr. Tomlinson's suggestions such as the movement of the angle of the buildings, design staff take the timelines into consideration with regard to major changes.
Ms. McNeely - Stated that the team absolutely takes those things into consideration and this is the right time to look at these kinds of things. |
| Q: What is a charette?
A: A charette is a short, intensive workshop to collaboratively develop beginning key concepts, often used for architectural design and land-use planning. Its key characteristics are an interactive process, short time period and free-flowing, creative discussion.
Q: What is the fall 2018 opening date based upon?
A: The District's demographer has projected enrollment which indicates the need for the E-5 campus by fall of 2018. The extended time in designing, receiving state approval for the plans, and the construction schedule for a new campus necessitates the District move expeditiously through all elements of this project to meet the projected need.
|
| A Charette Committee was formed to do an intensive program meeting to develop and discuss the program requirements for the E-5 campus. Program information was developed during this day long meeting which resulted in Charette Committee prepared initial site plans based upon a K-5 concept as authorized by the Board of Trustees at the time. The Committee was informed that the Board of Trustees were studying a K-8 concept and that the final design would likely include K-8 program needs. Subsequent Board of Trustees action at the meeting on June 23, 2015 approved a K-8 concept for development on the E-5 site. Research and study of K-8 schools was conducted by district staff and program requirements identified by Educational Services have been incorporated into the concept being presented this evening. The architectural team refined the program information created by the Charette Committee incorporating the K-8 program information into a unified schematic design concept that was shared with the Charette Committee during a follow up meeting. Staff will provide an overview of the process and information gathered to develop the K-8 concept with the Board of Trustees. Based upon Board of Trustee direction staff is seeking approval of the schematic design concept and authorization to proceed with design in order to meet the anticipated opening date requirement of fall 2018. It should be noted that phased construction completion dates are being studied based upon available funding, projected classroom needs related to growth, and the increased scope of the K-8 design. |

| The Board of Trustees will consider updating the District Logo and image campaign.
Staff recommends the Board approve one of the recommended new logo designs. |
| The District has used the district logo for approximately twenty five years. In 2010, the slogan "It's All About Our Kids" and an extensive image campaign was launched. The logo and slogan have been very successful elements in the messaging of the District vision and mission over the years. |
| |
| It is estimated that the cost of the new logo and additional adjustments to banners, signage and business cards is $10,000. The general fund, communications budget will be used for this purpose. |
| The purpose of this item is for the Board of Trustees to consider updating the District Logo and image campaign. |

|
| Noted that the colors are much better than the last ones that were presented, with the colors appearing more vivid..
Mr. Tomlinson - Prefers the upper right design, without the ribbon under the design.
Ms. Rouse asked if the logo is tied to the website. Ms. McDonald stated that it is the intent to "roll out" the new logo at the same time that the district refreshes the format of the website. It is a good practice to change or refresh the website approximately every five years so this is a good time to incorporate changes to the logo, which is long overdue for a refresh.
A motion was made for the logo in the upper right side of the sample page displayed, but without the ribbon. |
| Q: What is the purpose of the District Logo?
A: The purpose of the District Logo is to present a recognizable symbol that represents key elements of the district.
Q: How long has the current logo been in circulation?
A: It is estimated that the current logo has been in circulation for approximately twenty five years.
Q: If approved, when will the new logo be put into circulation?
A: If approved, the new logo will be put into circulation in the 2015-16 school year. |
| The District is considering updating both the logo and the image campaign. This year, an internal committee recently put together potential adjustments to the logo. Several options were presented to the Board at the June meeting. Each option represented key elements of the mission of the district including growth from elementary school to middle school, to high school; college and career readiness, and the statement "We Are Dublin Schools" representing commitment to our mission. Color selections included new options and those similar to the current logo with an infusion of green to represent the "green" of Dublin. Both a round and rectangular shape were selected to provide a point of comparison: a similar pattern to the current logo and one that is significantly different. Input from Trustees was received and communicated to the graphic designer and a revised and modified logo design is being presented this evening reflecting the suggestions made by Trustees in June. Those modifications include a change in the font style, a slimmer design for the figurines depicted and deeper, richer colors.
If a change in logo is made, the district will need to adjust online presence, signage, banners, and business cards (as replenished).
Sample logo designs are attached as back-up material to this item. This evening, staff will present the sample adjustments for Board discussion and consideration. |

| The Board of Trustees, after receiving a recommendation from the Superintendent, will determine whether to call for an election, or make a provisional appointment to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Trustee Sean Kenney. If a provisional appointment process is selected, the Board will establish the protocols by which the vacancy will be filled.
The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve Resolution 2015/16-02 adopting procedures and timelines for a provisional appointment process to replace Trustee Sean Kenney. |
| The District received the resignation of Trustee Sean Kenney on July 30, 2015. The resignation was filed with the Alameda County Superintendent of Schools, Karen Monroe on July 31, 2015. The resignation is effective that date and is irrevocable(California Education Code section 5090). |
| |
| The financial impact will vary depending upon the option selected by the Board. It is estimated that calling for a special election could be an expense to the the district general fund of between $160,000 and $275,000. The exact expense is related to the number of registered voters in the city and varies, either $7-9 for a Stand Alone District Vote By Mail ballot, or $12-15 for a Stand Alone Election. Per the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, there are 22,996 registered voters in Dublin.
A provisional appointment will have minimal expense, likely for advertisement in the local newspaper as required by code. |
| The purpose of this item is for the Board of Trustees, after receiving a recommendation from the Superintendent, to determine whether to call for an election, or make a provisonal appointment to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Trustee Sean Kenney. If a provisional appointment process is selected, the Board will establish the protocols by which the vacancy will be filled. |

| Dr. Hanke outlined the process that the Board of Trustees will follow for filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Sean Kenney.
There was consensus that there not be an election called to fill the vacancy.
A suggested question for the interview packet:
Suggested a question about time commitments and whether a person has the time to devote to the meeting schedule be added to the list of questions. Educational conferences, MIG trainings, etc. (describe your commitment to the board)
Suggest that a resume be added as part of the application packet.
Preferred Criteria:
Change School Board to experience as a Community leadership.
Nominating Committee:
All Trustees expressed an interest in serving on the nominating committee.
Ms. Miller suggested that Mr. Rouse serve on the committee as she had not served on a previous selection committee. With regard to the selection of the second position there was discussion about whether there should be a lottery between the Trustees or whether Ms. Miller should appoint the second Trustee to the committee. Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Cunningham stated that if there was to be a lottery all three Trustee names should be included in the lottery. Ms. Miller disagreed; she did not wish to include Ms. Rouse in the lottery so she determined that as president, she would appoint the representatives.
Ms. Miller appointed Ms. Rouse and Mr. Tomlinson as the nominating committee members. |
| Q: When a Trustee resigns, what is the process for filling the vacancy?
A: The process varies, depending upon the timeframe in which the vacancy occurs. Board Bylaw (included in the back up material) describes the timeframe.
Q: If the Board determines that a provisional appointment will be made, what is the process for making the appointment?
A: The process will involve announcing the vacancy and calling for nominations followed by a review of applications and potential interviews of candidates. A majority vote of the Board will select the provisional appointee. The provisional appointment will then be posted for public review for a period of 30 days. If no petition calling for a special election is filed in the office of the County Superintendent of Schools in that timeframe, the provisional appointment becomes effective.
Q: When will the announcement of the vacancy be made public?
A: If the Board approves the provisional appointment, the application process and timline for filling the vacancy will be announced with in the next several days. |
| Dublin Unified School District Board Bylaws 9223 describe the events that take place when a vacancy occurs due to the resignation of a Trustee prior to the end of his/her term. The timelines for filling the vacancy are stated in the bylaw.
Mr. Kenney's resignation occurred outside of the election timelines described in code and therefore, the Board cannot order a "special election" be added to the November 2015 ballot. The options open to the Board are: 1)make a provisional appointment or 2) call for a special election.
The Superintendent recommends that the Board make a provisional appointment and establish a process by which the vacancy will be filled. A copy of Board Bylaw 9223 is attached as back up material to this item. Government Code 1770, which also describes the process is attached.
In addition, a resolution calling for the provisional appointment is included along with a draft timeline for the process, potential selection criteria, and a sample application for potential nominees.

| The Board of Trustees will discuss enrollment growth in the Dublin community with a focus on providing staff direction regarding level of support for development. |
| The Dublin community continues to grow at a rapid pace. Future development in Dublin has been and continues to be an important topic of conversation at the City of Dublin and in the school district.
On Tuesday August 18, 2015, the City Council of Dublin held a work study to discuss future development in the community. The focus of the discussion included a comparison between current development assumptions and the minimum permitted density for each of the non-vested residential sites within the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan area. The impact of lowering the density range on the City's long-term unit count was also discussed. |
| |
| There is no financial impact to this item as this time. City Council decisions to adjust unit numbers on non-vested sites would raise or lower Level II Impact Fees collected by the District from developers. The amount of those adjustments would be determined through the application of the annual School Facilities Needs Analysis. |
| The purpose of this item is for the Board of Trustees to discuss enrollment growth in the Dublin community with a focus on providing staff direction regarding support for development. |
| Ms. Rouse - Stated she is very nervous about the numbers of students who are coming to the school district and the number of unvested units. Ms. Rouse would like the district to take a position on unvested property so that it is cost-neutral to the district. To build new developments (unvested), it needs to be cost neutral to the city and the school district.
Mr. Tomlinson - Stated he is not comfortable opposing development in Dublin. Many of the developments that are planned have been in the pipeline. The scale of development that is going on is huge, but opposing development now is like closing the barn door after the horse is out. There has to be other ways to find ways to get the classrooms built for our students. We need to work with the city to begin asking how you are going to
Mr. Cunningham - Has a difficult time now dealing with the fact that the city keeps approving permits and we cannot keep up with the growth in the city.
Dr. Hanke - Stated that build-out projections are very difficult to come up with figures that are as accurate as possible. Some of the developments are further down the road and change from year to year.
Ms. Rouse - Can we ask for full mitigation for things that come before the city for the unvested property because the laws have changed at the state level. The district cannot get Level III fees because the Governor will never say that there are no state construction fees left. The fact is we are not given state construction fees, we are owed a large amount of back fees, and will probably never receive the amounts we are owed.
Dr. Hanke - Asked if the Board is looking for full mitigation? If that is the case, that amount will be beyond Level III fees.
Ms. Miller - Asked if it is possible to have the developer fee be tied to where those students attend school?
Board Direction: Look to full mitigation on non-vested property.
Mr. Tomlinson - Stated that it is incumbent on the Board and district to come up with some creative solutions in working with developers with regard to mitigation agreements.
Ms. Rouse - Knows that we have done some advocating through individuals at the state level in order to try to get our problem or issue heard.
Mr. Cunningham - Stated that it is always worth it to advocate but he is not sure that it would do much good.
Mr. Tomlinson - Stated that with the state keeping the funds due the district, we should continue to put pressure on the state to do the right thing and fund state school construction projects.
Ms. Rouse - Stated that she wants to make sure that there is a personal message from the Dublin Unified School to the state..
Board Direction:
1. Our support for full mitigation of unvested properties.
2. Promote and comment related to inadequate funding for facilities projects. |
| Q: What is creating the significant growth that the Dublin community is experiencing?
A: The Dublin community has been experiencing significant growth for a number of years. Dublin is a very attractive, inviting place to live, work, and raise a family. Contributing factors include extensive building, good schools, regional employment opportunities; excellent housing value; and attractive community features ie parks, city services, family oriented events, etc.
Q: What has been the impact of this growth on Dublin Schools?
A: The impact of the growth on Dublin Schools has been both positive and a challenge. Positive factors include: additional students creating increased Average Daily Attendance thereby greatly assisting with budget issues during the recent recession; program enhancements focused on student learning and elective programs; funding for building schools to accommodate growth in the form of Developer Impact Fees; additional opportunities for employment of teachers, support staff and leadership; increased parent support and partnership; enhanced partnership with the City of Dublin. Challenges have included: difficulty in keeping up with the need for schools and space; overcrowding in elementary schools in the east creating the need for portable classrooms and the diversion of students from neighborhood schools; and traffic issues during drop off and pick up at eastern elementary schools.
Q: What will the impact of future growth be on the District?
A: The District anticipates the large "wave" of growth to move through middle school and high school levels. Housing students at all levels will be a challenge that requires careful planning, implementation, and communication. The district is moving ahead with plans to effectively manage the anticipated growth. |
| The Board President and Superintendent attended the City Council meeting, both participating in public comment. The Superintendent stressed that Board authority to provide support for any particular development had not been provided as of the time of the meeting. He stressed that meetings with developers had been ongoing with a focus on both Jordan Ranch Alternative School site issues and the potential of working with Dublin Ranch Schools as has occurred in the past.
The Superintendent requested that the City Council continue to partner with the School District whenever potential adjustments to the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan are considered. Preserving school district flexibility in all new development that includes: a) land acquisition for new schools at little or no cost to the district; and b) funding beyond Level II Impact Fees for program expansion and or facilities was also requested. Additionally, support for local and state school facilities bond measure was requested.
The Board has requested that a item be placed on the agenda this evening so that Trustees could discuss development and provide direction to the Superintendent regarding support for future projects. The discussion will include information about non-vested residential sites as well as a review of student enrollment projections that include all potential future sites (vested and non-vested). |

| The Board of Trustees will discuss SB 799 (Hill) - School Reserve Cap Reform and provide direction to staff regarding support for the bill. |
| At the August 19, 2015 Special Board meeting, the Board directed staff to agendize an item on SB 799 (Hill). The request was to provide the opportunity to determine the level of advocacy in support of the bill by the Board. This could include a future resolution in support of SB 799 (Hill) and/or a campaign to support it or other legislation. |
| |
| There is no financial impact to this item. Future financial impact will be determined if SB 799 (Hill) is approved, impacting the school district budget. |
| The purpose of this item is for the Board of Trustees to discuss SB 799 (Hill) - School Reserve Cap Reform and provide direction to staff regarding support for the bill. |
| Ms. Heironimus stated that CASBO is working on Resolution language that can be used by school districts to send a resolution from individual districts to Sacramento.
It would be best to wait until we receive the draft language from CASBO or from CSBA so that we have covered our bases and also so that we are sending our message when other districts are sending theirs. |
| Q: What is SB 799 (Hill)?
A: SB 799 (Hill) is a legislative bill that targets reform of the reserve cap element of SB 858 signed by Governor Brown in June 2014.
Q: What are the elements of SB 799 (Hill)
A: Elements include: providing a hard cap of 17 percent; language to clarify application of SB 858; requirements of board policy on fund balances; requirement of appeal procedures; exemption of small districts.
Q: What direction is staff seeking on this issue?
A: Staff is seeking direction on a resolution in support of SB 799 and campaign interests of the Board. |
| In June 2014, SB 858 was passed as a part of the state budget. It included a provision that establishes a reserve cap on school district budgets, requiring them under certain conditions to spend down reserves to a level two times the amount of the minimum required statutory reserve for economic uncertainly.
Since that time, there has been a significant amount of discussion about SB 858, the reserve cap, with calls to repeal on one side, supported by the California School Board's Association, Association of California School Administrators, and many local school boards across the state. Calls to support the legislation have also been made, supported by California Teachers Association and many local school district associations.
Recently, SB 799 (Hill)was introduced to the legislative process. This legislation includes a number of elements that would assist school districts in meeting budgetary needs in the event of future economic downturns. A copy of CSBA's informational letter on SB 799 is attached as back up material to this item. Also included in back up material is an article discussing CSBA efforts to repeal SB 858. |

| Ms. Rouse - Would like to discuss the eighth grade promotion and who walks in the promotions and what is the criteria.
Mr. Cunningham - Stated there is no policy; it is just in their handbook.
Ms. Rouse - Would like to look at the math sequence of classes. Knows that changes have been made over the last couple of years due to Common Core. The 6,7,8th graders are part of the new sequence. There are some students who cannot get to calculus without taking it during summer school.
Mr. Tomlinson - Agreed he would like to have it discussed at a future meeting.
Consensus that these both be added to a future agenda.
Mr. Miller - Asked about adding Board relationships to the Vision and Mission statement of the district. Feels it's a core component of the district now. The other Trustees agreed to look at it when we review the Strategic Plan in spring 2016.
