Fee Amendment No. 1 from Knowland Inc., DBA Knowland Construction Services (Knowland), for Division of the State Architect (DSA) inspector of record/project inspector services for the Castaic High School Project Increment 2.

It is the responsibility of the project inspector to perform tasks required of them by the DSA and the District such as performing periodic inspections of the work, advising the contractor of nonconforming work, keeping accurate records, and certifying that the completed work has been done in accordance with the DSA approved plans and specifications. DSA requires the District to employ a DSA inspector for this project through the duration of construction.

Knowland’s initial proposal anticipated completion of the project by the end of August 2019. Due to delays on Buildings 700, 800, and 900, the DSA inspector’s time at the site has been extended for seven months.

 Fee Amendment No. 1 will cover final inspection of remaining buildings to be completed (Building 700, 800, and 900), all path of travel walkways and ramps, fire alarm devices, Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 signage, completion of punch-list items and DSA close out as required by DSA Administrative Code.

Again this year, in keeping with the District Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), La Mesa Junior High School has aligned its School Plan for Student Achievement goals with the four goals of the LCAP.

The school site council has approved the School Plan for Student Achievement after consulting with required advisory groups and recommends it to the Board for approval.  All legal requirements have been met for the plan. The annual evaluation will be conducted to meet the requirements of Board Policy 6190.

Attached is the plan for La Mesa Junior High School for the 2019/20 school year.  Actual allocations for all Title I schools will be determined in August when funding is provided by the District Title I grant.  To facilitate implementation, Board approval is requested.

Analysis of each plan reveals necessary updates and revisions.  Each school site council has approved its 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 May 2017.  Annual evaluations conducted at that time meet the requirements of Board Policy 6190.

Attached are the revisions for the Bowman High School plan for the 2017/18 school year.  Goals and action plans remain aligned with LCAP District goals and school goals for increased student achievement.
