The Monroe Middle School library has books that are out of date or the condition is beyond repair. Included in this list are VHS video titles that will be disposed of as VHS video is an obsolete technology for CUSD.  All DVD titles, and any VHS video checked out in the last 3 years, about 100 titles total will be retained.   

Most of the nonfiction books on the list will be sent to a book recyclery.    A few titles in better condition will be offered to our elementary schools, such as biographies and animal Zoobooks series and fiction titles that appeal more to elementary students.    Finally the remaining fiction discards will be stamped as discarded and will be offered to Monroe students for adoption.  

According to Education Code 17546, if the Board, by a unanimous vote of those

    appropriate by the Board, or disposed of in the local public dump
    on order of any employee of the District empowered for that
    purpose by the Board.

Whitney Holton, Assistant Superintendent Instructional Services, has determined that the items on the attached list to the resolution to be obsolete or unrepairable and suitable for donation or disposal as the property is of insufficient value.

Due to shortage of qualified bilingual teachers and following a diligent search for fully credentialed bilingual teachers, we have determined that Ms. Daisy Fernandez, is the most qualified option for the first grade dual immersion position at Sherman Oaks Elementary School.  Ms. Fernandez has been teaching in this capacity on a Short Term Staff Permit since August 2018.  She is currently awaiting the results of the RICA exam that she completed earlier this month, to fulfill her credential requirements. As a safeguard it is necessary to have an alternate plan as her current permit will expire before she will have an opportunity to test again.  Therefore, in the interim, she will need to be placed on a Provisional Internship Permit while she completes the pre-requisite exam requirement.  

Due to a severe shortage of Special Education teachers and following a diligent search for fully credentialed teachers, we have determined that Ms. Christina Landry who is a current Fifth Grade teacher at Castlemont Elementary, is the most qualified option for the vacant SDC position at Rolling Hills Middle School.

Pursuant to Education Code section 35012, the Campbell Union School District’s Board of Trustees is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where trustees are elected by voters for the entire District. Trustees are elected in even-numbered years and serve staggered, four-year terms, such that the next election for two trustees is scheduled for November 2020, with the remaining trustee seats scheduled for election in November 2022.

Under the California Voting Rights Act (Elec. Code, § 14026, et seq.) (“CVRA”), at-large elections are impermissible if they result in racially polarized voting. Racially polarized voting is defined as “voting in which there is a difference . . . in the choice of candidates or other electoral choices that are preferred by voters in a protected class, and in the choice of candidates and electoral choices that are preferred by voters in the rest of the electorate.” (Elec. Code, § 14026, subd. (e).)

To minimize the potential for impermissible racially polarized voting, many public agencies in California conduct “by trustee-area” elections, where each trustee must reside within the designated trustee area boundary, and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area. While the District does not believe that its current form of elections violates the CVRA, it does believe that it is in the public interest to begin the process to transition from at-large to trustee-area elections.

The Board will review its current Board elections system and will consider adopting a resolution to state its intent to move to a by-trustee area election system commencing in November 2020. Should the Board approve the proposed resolution, the District shall commence the process of transitioning to by-trustee area elections, in full compliance with all appropriate procedures and policies provided in law, including but not limited to Education Code sections 5019, 5030, and 33050, et seq., and Elections Code sections 10010 and 14025, et seq., with the intention of completing the process within 90 days of the resolution’s passage.  

While moving to a by-trustee area election system will involve creating five trustee areas, this change will not impact either the overall boundary of the District or existing school attendance areas. Additionally, incumbent Board members’ terms of office are not reduced as a result of the transition.

Meetings may be scheduled, rescheduled and/or cancelled as required to conduct District business.
