| Presentation and approval of the 2017/18 Second Interim Financial Report. |
| California Education Code Sections 42130 and 42131 require each school district to file interim financial reports twice a year. The first report covers the financial and budgetary status of the District for the period ending October 31st. The second report covers the period ending January 31st. Both interim reports require Governing Board approval and certification of the District’s financial condition. The purpose of the interim reporting process is to raise early warning flags for districts that will not be able to meet financial obligations for the current or two subsequent fiscal years.
The interim report includes the following documents:
- Certification of Interim Report (Form CI)
- Second Period Financial Report (Fund Forms 01, 11, 13, 14, 17, 21, 25, 40, 49, 52, 67, and 73)
- Average Attendance Summary (Form AI)
- Multi-Year Financial Projections
- Criteria and Standards Review
The 2017/18 Second Interim Financial Report for the period ending January 31, 2018, is before the Governing Board for approval. Statute requires the Governing Board to certify in writing whether or not the District is able to meet its financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year, and based on current forecasts, for the subsequent fiscal year. The Second Interim Financial Report reflects all changes resulting since the District presented its 2017/18 First Interim Financial Report. Staff will make a presentation on these adjustments at the Governing Board meeting.
Based on current revenue and expenditure assumptions, staff recommends a positive certification of the 2017/18 Second Interim Financial Report. |
|
| As reflected in the attached report. |
| Staff recommends the Governing Board approve the 2017/18 Second Interim Financial Report, and adopt a positive certification pursuant to California Education Code Section 42131. |

| Request approval of fee amendment No. 2 from Flewelling & Moody for architectural services for Hart High School Two-Story Modular Classroom Building, Addition of Two Tennis Courts and Related Sitework. |
| In February, the Division of the State Architect (DSA) returned structural redmark drawing corrections to Flewelling & Moody requesting structural calculations and details for a retaining wall, equipment pads and fence foundations. To this point, Flewelling & Moody had not retained the services of a structural engineer on the project since they did not believe that the minor structural design work needed for the site would require a structural engineer. However, based on the request from DSA, Flewelling & Moody will now need to retain a structural engineer for the project in order to address DSA’s request. |

| $19,500 plus reimbursable expenses from Measure SA. Fee amendment No. 2 is covered in the project contingency. |

| State and federal laws require schools to annually review and update their Single Plan for Student Achievement. These site-specific plans describe school improvement activities that are supported with categorical funds. As required by Senate Bill 374, the school leadership, site councils, and advisory committees conducted comprehensive needs assessments as well as an analysis of student achievement data based on the California Dashboard in the Fall of 2017 to develop objectives for their action plan.
Mid-year analysis of each plan reveals necessary updates and revisions. Each school site council has approved its respective revisions, after consulting with school leadership teams and advisory councils, and recommends them to the Board for approval. All legal requirements remain in place for each plan that was approved in November 2017. Annual evaluations conducted at that time meet the requirements of Board Policy 6190.
Attached are the revisions for each school plan for the remainder of this current 2017-2018 school year. Goals and action plans remain aligned with LCAP District goals and school goals for increased student achievement. |
