| The California Department of Education appropriated $300 million statewide to establish the Low-Performing Students Block Grant (LPSBG) which provides funds for local educational agencies serving students identified as low-performing on state English and/or math assessments, who are not otherwise identified for supplemental funding or special education services. |
| The LPSBG provides funds for local educational agencies (LEAs) serving students identified as low-performing on state English language arts or mathematics assessments, who are not otherwise identified for supplemental grant funding under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), or eligible for special education services. These funds are designated to address the persistent achievement gap in California’s public schools. Eligible activities include, but are not limited to: professional development activities for certificated staff, instructional materials, and/or additional supports for pupils (as identified in EC Section 41570[e]). Funds are available for expenditure or encumbrance through the 2020/21 fiscal year. As a condition of receiving LPSBG funds, an eligible school district is required to develop a plan describing how the funds will increase or improve evidence-based services for the pupils identified to accelerate increases in academic achievement, and how the effectiveness of services will be measured. In order to ensure community and stakeholder input, the plan shall be discussed and adopted at a regularly scheduled meeting by the governing board of the school district. |
|
| The District anticipates receiving the following LPSBG funding entitlement for the 2018/19 through 2020/21 school years: $1,448,426.00. |

Approval of Fee Amendment No. 1 from Ninyo & Moore for geotechnical, materials testing, and inspection services for the Sierra Vista Junior High School Classroom Addition Project.
|
|
On April 18, 2018, the Board approved a proposal from Ninyo & Moore for Division of the State Architect (DSA) inspection services for the Sierra Vista Junior High School Classroom Addition Project. That initial proposal assumed a project duration of five months. Due to the delay in receiving the modulars, the site work portion of the project has been extended for several months resulting in Ninyo & Moore asking for an increase of $54,926.
Ninyo & Moore had a second inplant inspection contract that is now complete. There was a remaining balance on the contract of $56,878.
The District is asking for the remaining inplant balance to be applied to this fee amendment resulting in $1,952 credit to the District.

Contractor is requesting a change order to their contract in the amount of $31,816.78 for work that was not shown in the bid documents. A grade elevation issue was discovered in the field that required the addition of a concrete ramp and approximately 100 linear feet of handrail/guardrail.
Change Order No. 3, Bid Package SV1801A-05 (Fischer, Inc.)

| 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 372, 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 plans.
Analysis of the plan reveals necessary updates and revisions. Golden Valley 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 the plan that was approved in November 2017. The annual evaluation conducted at that time meets the requirements of Board Policy 6190.
Attached are the revisions for spending the remaining Title I funds for the school plan from the 2017/2018 school year. Goals and action plans remain aligned with Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) District goals and school goals for increased student achievement. |
