The Governing Board will reconvene to regular session

Pursuant to Education Code Section 35143, the Governing Board must hold an organizational meeting annually for the purpose of electing officers to serve for the ensuing year. 

Officers of the Board shall include President, Vice President and Clerk.

The office of President and Clerk shall be filled by nomination and require a majority vote of the members of the Board. (Education Code 35022, 35143)

To maximize Board effectiveness, it is the practice of the Governing Board that the Office of President, Vice President and Clerk shall be filled by bi-annual rotation (i.e., Clerk to Vice President; Vice President to President) dependent upon Board approval.

Any Board member may decline to hold a particular office.  The vacancy will then be filled by nomination and require a majority vote of the members of the Board.

In the event a change occurs in the membership of the board, because of board elections, resignations, etc., then elections for the vacant offices will be by nomination and require a majority vote of the members of the board.

Students in the STEAM classes at Rolling Hills Middle School had the opportunity to design a city using SimCity software, as well as a table top model. The theme is for students to design and innovate city wide systems for their future city. The competition also requires students to design a system that is safe, environmentally sound and energy efficient for the citizens within their city limits. The students will have the opportunity to compete with other schools and present their finished product of a city that they have designed at this Northern California Regional competition.

Rhythm and Moves Inc. provides students Physical Education and Music instruction while classroom teachers are on preparation time.  On August 22, 2018, the Board approved the Rhythm and Moves contract for the 2018-2019 school year. Since the initial agreement, it has been determined that the actual instructional programs can be reduced. This addendum is to reduce the original contract agreement by $18,540.00. 

Reduction of $18,540

As part of our ongoing technology plan and to continue to improve teaching processes, providing students and teachers with access to current and emerging technologies is critical to our continued success.  We are requesting to move up our Chromebook purchase this year to help counteract tariffs that are set to take effect on January 1, 2019, which could increase prices anywhere between $27,000 and $76,500, depending on the quantity and units we select.  

We would typically place our Chromebook orders in April; however, to lock in the current prices, we will need to make the purchase by December 7, 2018. These 900 units will go towards 6^th Grade participants in the Web to One program for 2019-20, as well as replacing some of our End of Life devices that have been in use since 2014-15. 

It is recommended that the Governing Board authorize the purchase of 900 Chromebooks and management licenses from CDW-G's piggyback bid #2018011-01 with the National IPA Technology Solutions Education, a joint purchasing cooperative.

Once certain bond measures pass in California, state law requires the District School Board to appoint an “independent citizens oversight committee to oversee the expenditures and uses of bond revenues, and then report their findings to the public.”   (Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 7214, General Obligation Bonds)

The purpose of these committees is to review district spending and ensure that bond revenues are used only for the purpose set before the voters in the wording of Measures G and CC as they appeared on the ballots.

Under Section 15282(a) of the Education Code, the committees must have at least seven members who serve for a term of two years without compensation and for no more than three consecutive terms.  These members must represent specific segments of the community: a business organization in the community, a community senior citizens organization, a representative of a bona fide taxpayers organization, a parent/guardian of at least one child enrolled in the District, as well as a parent who is an active member in a District parent-teacher organization. 

The Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services will present the 2019-20 site capacity and revised enrollment projections.

The projected school capacities for the 2019-20 school year were based on the attached data.

Under Item 7.4 the Governing Board will review the proposed Governing Board Meeting dates for 2019.
