Revised BP 5145.13 – Response to Immigration Enforcement

Revised BP 5146 – Married/Pregnant/Parenting Students

Deletion of BP and AR 5146 – Married/Pregnant/Parenting Students – dated 1998

Education Code Section 44258.2 states that the holder of a Single Subject or Standard Secondary Teaching Credential, with his or her consent, may teach an assignment in grades 5 through 8 provided the teacher has completed six (6) upper division or graduate units or twelve (12) semester units of course work in the subject to be taught.

Education Code Section 44256(b) states that the holder of a Multiple Subject or Standard Elementary Teaching Credential may teach, with his or her consent, any subject in departmentalized classes below grade 9 provided that the teacher has completed a minimum of twelve (12) semester units or six (6) upper division or graduate semester units of coursework in the subject to be taught.

Resolution No. 19/20-25 is based upon these three provisions of the law which allow specific teachers to teach in subject areas other than their credential authorization.  This is an on-going requirement that necessitates Board approval each year.

Dear Martin – Publisher: Ember – Author: Nic Stone – Course Area: – Basic English 11  – Grade: 11 – Justyce McAllister is top of his class, captain of the debate team, and set for the Ivy League next year— but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. He is eventually released without charges (or an apology), but the incident has Justyce spooked. Despite leaving his rough neighborhood, he can’t seem to escape the scorn of his former peers or the attitude of his prep-school classmates. The only exception: Sarah Jane, Justyce’s gorgeous—and white—debate partner he wishes he didn’t have a thing for. Struggling to cope with it all, Justyce starts a journal to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But do Dr. King’s teachings hold up in the modern world? Justyce isn’t so sure. Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up. Way up. Much to the fury of the white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. And Justyce and Manny get caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it’s Justyce who is under attack. Some would kill to know the truth of what happened—Justyce is dying to forget.

Stealing Buddha’s Dinner – Publisher: Penguin Books – Author: Nguyen – Course Area: – English 9 / English 9 Honors  – Grade: 9 – As a Vietnamese girl coming of age in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Nguyen is filled with a rapacious hunger for American identity, and in the pre-PC-era Midwest (where the Jennifers and Tiffanys reign supreme), the desire to belong transmutes into a passion for American food.  More exotic seeming than her Buddhist grandmother’s traditional specialties, the campy, preservative-filled “delicacies” of mainstream America capture her imagination.  In Stealing Buddha’s Dinner, the glossy branded allure of Pringles, Kit Kats, and Toll House Cookies becomes an ingenious metaphor for Nguyen’s struggle to become a “real” American, a distinction that brings with it the dream of the perfect school lunch, burgers and Jell-O for dinner, and a visit from the Kool-Aid man.  Vivid and viscerally powerful, this remarkable memoir about growing up in the 1980s introduces an original, new literary voice and an entirely new spin on the classic assimilation story.

I am Malala – Publisher: Little, Brown, and Company – Author: Yousafzai – Course Area: – English 9 / English 9 Honors  – Grade: 9 – When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out.  Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.  On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price.  She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.  Instead, Malala’s miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.  At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.  I am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls’ education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

Fee Amendment No. 2 from Twining, Inc., for Division of the State Architect (DSA) Materials Testing for Castaic High School Increment 2 is presented for approval.

DSA requires the District to hire an independent DSA materials testing lab to work with the inspector of record/project inspector to perform any DSA-mandated materials tests either required by DSA or the inspector of record/project inspector.  Materials inspection fees are billed to the District at time and material costs. The District is only billed for the time and material used by the testing company on the project.

On December 14, 2016, Twining, Inc., was approved by the Board as the materials testing lab for Castaic High School Increment 2. That proposal was for an initial fee of $1,228,164.35.  On April 18, 2018, the Board approved Fee Amendment No. 1 to Twining for $773,788. At that time, the project manager and Twining believed that this fee amendment would cover the testing and inspection costs through the duration of the project. Due to the extended period of construction on the site, Twining is now projecting additional fees of $24,000 to complete the project.
