| Initial bargaining proposal from California School Employees Association Chapter 349 to the William S. Hart Union High School District for the 2017/18 school year. |
| Government Code Section 3547 requires that the initial bargaining proposals of the District and its employee unions be presented in public session during a Board meeting and that they are thereafter public records.

| The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) will be presented for review. |
| As part of the Local Control Funding Formula, school districts are required to develop, adopt, and annually update a three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The LCAP is required to identify goals and measure progress for student subgroups across eight state priority areas. Districts must include in their LCAP actions, services, and expenditures to be used to support students district-wide, as well as additional actions and services for low income students, English learners, and foster youth. The LCAP and the district budget must be presented at a public hearing prior to the board meeting at which the LCAP and the budget are adopted.
Developed with input from parents, teachers, administrators, students, and the Hart District Teachers Association, the goals identified in the Hart District’s LCAP include:
- Ensure all students have access to highly qualified teachers, school site guidance counselors, Common Core State Standards (CCSS) aligned textbooks and materials, and safe and uncrowded school facilities in good repair.
- Increase and improve student achievement by providing rigorous and CCSS aligned curriculum and instruction in English, math, and social studies, and Next Generation Science Standards.
- Increase and improve student achievement by providing rigorous and standards aligned curriculum and instruction in English, math, social studies and science with additional support for English learners, students with disabilities, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
- Cultivate a safe and positive school culture that supports all students’ personal and academic growth and encourages parent engagement.
Staff will present a brief overview of the proposed actions and services that will support each of these goals. |

| Conduct public hearing regarding the District’s 2017/18 Budget. |
California Education Code Sections 42103 and 42127 require that, on or before July 1 of each year, the governing board of each school district hold a public hearing on the budget to be adopted for the subsequent fiscal year, and adopt a budget subsequent to the public hearing. Furthermore, the budget and supporting documentation must be available for public review at least three working days prior to the public hearing.
The initial 2017/18 Budget for the District has been prepared using the state-required forms. A summary of proposed revenues, expenditures, transfers, and fund balances for all funds are attached. Staff will make a presentation on the budget at the meeting and a public hearing will be conducted.
The District has prepared the budget using the Governor’s May Revision proposal as the basis for the budget assumptions, and notes that at the time of preparation, the State of California had not yet enacted a 2017/18 Budget Act. Therefore, some of the assumptions included in the District’s budget plan may change. In accordance with statute, the District will revise the Adopted Budget to reflect changes, as necessary, in projected income or expenditures within 45 days of the final State budget adoption.
The Governing Board will be presented with the action item to approve the District’s proposed 2017/18 Budget on June 21, 2016. |

| Adopt Resolution No. 16/17-42 delegating administrative authority to the Superintendent, as specified, to process routine budget revisions, adjustments, and transfers in 2017/18. |
| The Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) allows the Governing Board to delegate administrative authority, through the adoption of a formal resolution, to the Superintendent to provide for the processing of certain routine budget revisions.
Resolution No. 16/17-42 will allow the Business Office staff, with the Superintendent’s approval, to prepare and submit routine budget revisions (technical adjustments within or between expenditure accounts and within or between resources necessary for the payment of District obligations) to LACOE for processing prior to Governing Board approval. All routine budget revisions will be submitted to the Governing Board for adoption and ratification with the District’s interim reports and in conjunction with the annual year-end closing of the District’s financial records.
Routine budget revisions will not include any revisions, adjustments, or transfers impacting fund balance (i.e. increasing or decreasing revenues, reducing or increasing fund balance, or transfers between funds). Such non-routine budget adjustments will continue to be presented to the Governing Board for approval prior to processing and submission to LACOE for review and approval.
This resolution is only effective for the 2017/18 fiscal year. |

| Determination of uses for Education Protection Account revenues. |
The voters’ approval of Proposition 30 in November 2012 added language to the California Constitution, specifically Article XIII, Section 36, creating in the state General Fund an Education Protection Account (EPA) to receive and disburse revenues generated by Proposition 30 tax increases. The added language requires a school district governing board to determine and approve how the District will expend EPA revenues. This determination is to be made in open session of a public board meeting, and the funds cannot be used for administrative salaries and benefits or any other administrative costs.
Governing board approval of EPA funds is an annual requirement, and beginning with the 2013/14 fiscal year, will be part of the annual budget adoption process until the temporary taxes generated by Proposition 30 expire (2017/18 school year for the sales tax increase, and 2018/19 school year for the personal income tax increase). As in 2016/17, the District proposes to use EPA revenues for teacher salaries in 2017/18. |
|
| Estimated $30,734,348 EPA funds to be used for teacher salaries in 2017/18. |

| The District anticipates a need for using a small number of emergency permits for teachers during the 2017/18 school year. The Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators allows for these emergency authorizations to be used in the event teachers with the exact credentials needed cannot be found. |
| When the District is unable to find a teacher with exactly the appropriate credentials, the State has a process for seeking temporary waivers and emergency authorizations. Districts are required to submit a Declaration of Need to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The Declaration says that the District has been unable to find an acceptable, qualified employee with the exact credentials needed for a certain position. It further says that the District will work with the person who has the emergency authorization.
To qualify for an emergency authorization, a person must be a college graduate, pass the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST), be cleared through a fingerprint check, submit a complete application packet, pay necessary fees, complete additional specific requirements for the issuance of a particular authorization, and be covered by the Declaration of Need.
The District generally has a need to obtain temporary waivers and emergency permits for a small percentage of teachers. |

| Governing Board approval is needed to establish the Committee on Assignments which approves the assignment of teachers to elective classes when a scheduling need arises. |
| Each semester, as school site administrators develop the master schedule of classes and teaching assignments, there is a need to place some teachers in assignments that do not directly correspond with areas of credentialing. For example, a science teacher may pick up one section of a photo class along with his/her science class assignments. The teacher is quite capable of teaching the photo class but does not have the proper authorization listed on his/her teaching credential. There is no way of predicting the exact needs since there are always variations in student enrollment, class sizes, teacher leaves, etc.
In accordance with Education Code 44258.7 (c) and (d), the District may properly assign these teachers to elective classes for which they are capable but not specifically credentialed to teach. (Elective class is defined as any class other than mathematics, English, science, or social science.) A committee of teachers and administrators may be authorized to meet and approve the assignments for the semester. The Governing Board must approve the establishment of the committee.
Committee members serve for one year. The Hart District Teachers Association has routinely submitted the names of three qualified teachers to serve on this committee should there be a need to meet. The Assistant Superintendent has also routinely been on the committee.
When reviewing teachers’ assignments, the committee looks for evidence that the person can effectively teach the course that is assigned. They look at years of experience in teaching this or a similar course, college units in the discipline, special training or expertise in the subject area, the desire to teach the course, and other factors that seem appropriate. |

| A textbook has been recommended for adoption for the 2017/18 school year. |
| The Worst Hard Time – Publisher: Mariner – Author: Egan – Course Area: U.S. History – Grade: 11 The Worst Hard Timeis an epic story of blind hope and endurance almost beyond belief; it is also, as Tim Egan has told it, a riveting tale of bumptious charlatans, conmen, and tricksters, environmental arrogance and hubris, political chicanery, and a ruinous ignorance of nature’s ways. Egan has reached across the generations and brought us the people who played out the drama in this devastated land, and uses their voices to tell the story as well as it could ever be told. The dust storms that terrorized America’s High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since, and the stories of the people that held on have never been fully told. Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times journalist and author Timothy Egan follows a half-dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, going from sod homes to new framed houses to huddling in basements with the windows sealed by damp sheets in a futile effort to keep the dust out. He follows their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black blizzards, crop failure, and the deaths of loved ones. Drawing on the voices of those who stayed and survived—those who, now in their eighties and nineties, will soon carry their memories to the grave—Egan tells a story of endurance and heroism against the backdrop of the Great Depression. As only great history can, Egan’s book captures the very voice of the times: its grit, pathos, and abiding courage. Combining the human drama of Isaac’s Storm with the sweep of The American People in the Great Depression, The Worst Hard Time is a lasting and important work of American history. |

| Since 2006, the District has participated in the Southern California Relief Regional Liability Excess Fund (SCR) joint powers authority for liability and property coverage. Created in 1986, SCR’s property and liability program provides an excess coverage program for over 75 members including joint power authorities, county offices of education, and school districts. |
| Some advantages of SCR membership include the following:
– Comprehensive coverage at competitive rates
– Re-issuance via Memorandum of Coverage (no gaps in coverage)
– Forum for discussion, study, and implementation of risk-sharing/management programs
– Flexibility to pursue funding alternatives on members’ behalf in light of changing market conditions.
All member-retained limits/deductibles remain at the same level as in the 2016/17 fiscal year. Overall, the SCR pool is experiencing approximately a 15 percent increase in member contributions. The District’s property losses are trending down, reflected by a 15 point reduction in the experience modification factor, however the liability experience modification factor has increased two points to 89. |
|
| Annual cost in 2017/18 is $1,054,197 (including administrative expenses totaling $6,498, and a contribution to the SCR reserve totaling $18,797) to be paid from the General Fund (01.0). The 2016/17 contribution cost totaled $944,783. |

| Ratify agreement with The Howard E. Nyhart Company, Inc. (Nyhart) to perform a Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) compliant actuarial valuation of the District’s retiree health benefits program. |
| Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 43 and 45 established financial reporting and accounting requirements relating to unfunded liabilities for retiree health benefits, or other post-employment benefits (OPEB). In June 2015, GASB finalized two new standards (GASB Statements No. 74 and 75) replacing GASB Standards No. 43 and 45, and making significant changes to OPEB accounting and financial reporting; most importantly, the requirement for a public agency, including a school district, to recognize OPEB liabilities on its financial statement net position effective with the 2017/18 fiscal year.
California Education Code (EC) Section 42140 also requires the Superintendent to annually provide the governing board the estimated accrued but unfunded benefit cost. The cost estimate is to be based on an actuarial report performed (at least every three years) by an actuary who is a member of the American Academy of Actuaries.
Staff will present the final actuarial report to the governing board at a future public meeting. At that meeting, EC Section 42140(b) requires the governing board disclose whether or not it will reserve a sufficient amount of funds in the District’s budget to fund the present value of existing retiree health benefits and/or the future costs of current eligible employees. |
|
| Total cost of $6,950 in 2017/18 for full actuarial evaluation as of 6/30/17, and $750 for GASB 74 disclosure information to include in District’s 2016/17 audited financial statements. Total cost of $2,250 in 2018/19 for interim GASB 75 accounting and disclosure report to include in the District’s 2017/18 audited financial statements. All costs to be paid from the General Fund (01.0). |

| 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 the 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 2017/18 school year:
California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) – offers a wide variety of commodities, non-information technology services, and information technology products and services, at prices which have been assessed to be fair, reasonable, and competitive through the State of California for state and local agencies.
