The Hart District has the challenging task of designing a plan for a return to school in the fall that complies with state mandates and the County Health Order – while also balancing the desires of the community we serve.
|
| The Hart Board has the authority to make decisions with regard to some aspects of reopening plans, however, the scope of the decisions the Board can make is limited by local and state health orders. Currently, the LA County Health Order does not allow for the “full reopening” of schools within Los Angeles County. The Hart District Governing Board does not have the authority to ignore the County Health Order.
At the June 30 Special Board Meeting, the Board directed staff to move forward with planning for a blended learning model for the fall 2020 semester. Plans for the fall semester are designed to do the following:
1) Comply with LA County Health Order requirements as a means to keep students, staff, and
families safe and to minimize the transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
2) Provide options for parents (either fully online or blended models of instruction).
3) Bring students back to campus as quickly as it is deemed safe to do so. |

| The District has been unable to recruit an adequate number of speech and language therapists. There is a need to send a Variable Term Waiver Request to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. |
| Requests for Variable Term Waivers may be submitted by school districts to solve a temporary certification or assignment problem when the district finds there are an insufficient number of certificated persons who meet the specified employment criteria for a position, or for the purposes of educational reform, or other compelling reasons. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing may grant a waiver upon its finding that professional preparation equivalent to that prescribed under the provision or provisions to be waived will be completed by the applicant affected.
Many districts throughout the state are finding a need to request these waivers, especially in the area of special education. At this time, the District has been unable to recruit an adequate number of speech and language therapists to meet its needs. It is therefore necessary to a submit Variable Term Waiver Request to the Commission for Ariana R. Garrido to serve as full-time speech and language therapist to the District’s student population, effective August 1, 2020. |
|
| Approve request for a Variable Term Waiver for Ariana R. Garrido to serve as speech and language therapist, effective August 1, 2020. |

Change Order No. 7 from Castaic HS Construction, Inc., for Castaic High School is presented for approval.
|
|
The Castaic High School project initially had an owner construction contingency of $2 million which was part of the initial Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of the project. Since construction began over two years ago, staff and Lundgren Management Corporation have been using this contingency to cover change orders on the project. These change orders are not necessarily for District requested changes, but for work not included in the bid documents. That initial contingency of $2 million has been spent, so staff is now taking additional contingency related change orders to the Governing Board for approval. Funds outside of the GMP have been budgeted for these costs.
Attached to this Board item, there is a summary of contingency items that comprise the change order. All of these items have been reviewed by Lundgren Management and the architect.

| State and federal laws require schools to develop a plan called the “School Plan for Student Achievement.” These site-specific plans describe school improvement activities that are supported with categorical funds. Senate Bill 374 requires that school leadership, site councils, and advisory committees conduct a needs assessment as well as an analysis of student achievement data based on the California Dashboard to develop objectives for their plans. Staff can only approve categorical purchases that directly support the objectives cited.
Again this year, in keeping with the District Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), all schools have aligned their School Plan for Student Achievement goals with the four current goals of the LCAP.
Each school site council has approved its respective 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 each plan. The annual evaluations will be conducted to meet the requirements of Board Policy 6190.
Because of the similarities in funding and the alignment with LCAP, each school plan is similar in design and format. Attached are the plans for two school receiving Title I funds for the 2020/21 school year. Actual allocations will be determined in August when funding is provided to the District by the federal Title I grant. |

| Board Policy 3311(a) provides that the District may piggyback with the contract of another public agency or corporation when the Board has determined it in the District’s best interest. The term “piggyback” is associated with Public Contract Code Section 20118, which allows public entities to acquire property by participating in an existing contract of another public entity. |
| Piggybacking with another public entity contract allows the District to take advantage of lower costs realized through economies-of-scale and also avoids the time and expense of a public bid process. Each piggyback contract is evaluated for participation and usage. When the District’s need is greater than the piggyback contract participation or usage, the District will author and publish its own bid to obtain best cost. Administrative Regulation 3311(a) further defines that when bids are not required, District staff shall make a good faith effort to secure quotes.
Staff requests the use of the following California-approved piggyback contracts during the 2020/21 fiscal year:
California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) – for the purchase, warranty and installation of a wide variety of commodities, non-information technology services, information technology products and services, furniture and floor covering.
Cal-Save – for the purchase of technology and instructional resources at low cost from a statewide project designed to help California K-12 schools.
City of San Jose 14-15-01 – for the purchase of computer equipment peripherals, hardware and software. This contract does not include desktop computers/monitors, laptops, or tablets.

A proposal from KPFF, Inc., for structural engineering services for various District projects for fiscal year 2020/21 is presented for approval.
|
| At the June 10, 2020, Board meeting, this agenda item was submitted with the incorrect attachment. The Proposal attached here reflects the corrected item.
Projects will come up from time to time that need the expertise of a structural engineer. These projects may include attachment of scoreboards or other equipment on building walls, installation of flagpoles or digital marquees, structural repair projects, etc.
Approval of this agreement would allow staff to contract with KPFF, Inc., on multiple projects, not to exceed $15,000 per project and not to exceed $100,000 total for fiscal year 2020/21, without further Board approval until June 30, 2021. If the cost for a project exceeds $15,000 and/or the total for all projects under this agreement are expected to exceed $100,000, staff will return to the Board to increase the allowable total for the fiscal year.
Having a master task agreement in place would allow staff to quickly address structural issues and concerns as they arise on projects.
KPFF, Inc., is a structural engineering firm. They have completed many structural evaluations for the District.
