| Authorize reimbursement of $3,741,711.33 in developer security payments due to receipt of special tax bond proceeds under Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2015-1 Special Tax Bond Issuance. |
| The District entered into a Facilities Funding Agreement with Synergy-Brookfield LLC in June 2015, and formed CFD No. 2015-1 in July 2015 for the purpose of funding school facilities, as well as certain water, sewer, and flood control facilities, resulting from impacts of the Five Knolls development in Saugus. To mitigate school facility impacts, the District had been collecting the negotiated fair share mitigation payments as a security pending the completion of the CFD No. 2015-1 Special Tax Bond Issuance.
In February 2017, the District received $5.515 million in bond proceeds for school facilities under CFD No. 2015-1. Thereby, pursuant to the Facilities Funding Agreement, the District is now reimbursing the developer for all security payments paid to date totaling $3,741,711.33. |
|
| Total reimbursement of $3,741,711.33 in developer security payments to be paid from the Capital Facilities Fund (25.0). These funds had previously been reserved in anticipation of this reimbursement pending the receipt of the CFD No. 2015-1 bond proceeds. |

| A textbook has been recommended for adoption for the 2017/18 school year. |
| myPerspectives – Publisher: Pearson – Author: Hiebert/ Gallagher/ Morrell/Cummins – Course Area: English – Grade: 9-12 – After reviewing three different publishers’ materials, the High School English Language Arts Materials Selection Committee recommends Pearson’s myPerspectives to be adopted for the upcoming school year. Among other options, this publisher stood out to our committee because of its up-to-date and interactive digital component, which is user friendly and customizable, the engaging and rigorous text selections, embedded grammar and writing, differentiation, and assessments that simulate the CAASPP. In particular, both teachers and students alike were extremely satisfied with the consumable textbooks; students enjoyed annotating directly on the books. myPerspectives is created so that each unit moves students from whole group, small group, and independent activities in order to keep the students engaged and to reinforce learning. Each unit is driven by an essential question that thematically connects all the texts within it, and each includes multi-genre texts, both fiction and non-fiction. Teachers appreciated the variety of genres and complex, rich texts. myPerspectives also includes integrated ELD instruction, as mandated by the ELA/ELD Framework, customized to support English learners to have access to the core content. Overall, teachers felt that myPerspectives equipped them with the appropriate tools to teach and meet the learning needs of all students. |

| Ratify agreement with American Fidelity Administrative Services, LLC, for Affordable Care Act-related employee time and eligibility tracking services, as well as employer reporting services. |
| The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires large employers (defined as having 50 or more full-time employees) to offer adequate and affordable health care coverage to substantially all full-time employees. Consistent with this requirement, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) also requires employers file information returns and provide statements to full-time employees (defined as working an average 30 hours per week) about the health insurance coverage the employer offered during each calendar year.
The District currently works with American Fidelity Administrative Services, LLC (AFAS) for both its ACA-related employee time and eligibility tracking service, as well as its employer reporting service. The District uses the time and eligibility tracking service for tracking, monitoring, and reporting hours worked by employees for ACA compliance purposes. The employee reporting service provides for the generation of IRS 1094 and 1095 Forms. |
|
| Estimated total cost of $28,151 in 2016/17 to be paid from the General Fund (01.0) as follows:
Time and Eligibility Services: $20,506 (assuming 2,868 total employees at $7.20 per year or $0.60 per month per employee)
Employer Reporting Services: $7,645 (assuming 1,900 full-time, reportable employees at $3.50 per employee return, plus $995 annual fee) |

| Approve agreement with Prudential Overall Supply for uniforms and related services. |
| In April 2016, the Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) completed a review of the District’s maintenance, operations, and grounds (M&O) programs. In addition to other recommendations, FCMAT staff noted that M&O staff did not regularly wear uniforms and identification badges. The review noted that uniforms provide a common identity among line staff, and aid in identification both during routine operations and emergency situations.
In September 2016, staff issued a request for quotes for a weekly uniform rental program and related services for District employees in M&O, Transportation, and Warehouse. The program includes garments for both permanent and substitute employees with the District’s identifying logo, as well as towels and floor mats.
The District received six contractor quotes. The submitting contractor information and respective quotes are attached. Staff recommends the District award the contract to the company providing the lowest quote and most closely meeting the District’s needs, Prudential Overall Supply (Prudential). Prudential will deliver garments on a weekly basis to each District location after inspecting for any necessary repairs or replacements. The garments will be pressed, barcoded, and scanned to ensure a record of each delivery.
The contract term is for three years beginning from the effective date, with the option to renew for two, one-year extensions. The agreement also provides for a termination for convenience with a 30-day written notice.
The Prudential agreement will serve approximately 145 permanent employees and 52 substitute employees, and replaces a current annual purchase order with UniFirst Corporation serving only Transportation Department employees. |
|
| Estimated weekly cost of $417.47 or $21,708 annually to be paid from the General Fund (01.0). Total annual impact to the General Fund is estimated at $9,324 (termination of current Transportation Department service costs generates savings of $238.15 per week or $12,384 annually). |
| Approve the Rental Service Agreement and the Amendment to the Rental Service Agreement for uniforms and related services with Prudential Overall Supply for all M&O, Transportation and Warehouse employees. |
