centuries. He noted that Chigozie will be a terrific representative of our county at the state Poetry Out Loud competition on February 28 and 29.

On Tuesday, February 9, he joined Trustee Levy at the mid-year graduation ceremony for our community school students. It was a very moving and emotional event for the students who participated, their families and friends. The speaker was North Area Community School teacher Craig Bradford, whose remarks - along with those of Superintendent Gordon - were most fitting. He stated it was a treat to attend the Academic Decathlon Awards Dinner on February 9 at the Sacramento State University Ballroom, along with Trustees Brown and Levy. He congratulated Bella Vista High School for winning first place for the 5th year in a row. Bella Vista scored over 51,600 points, the highest score ever achieved by a Sacramento County team and will go to the state finals as our Division 1 representative. They will be joined at the state finals in March by Folsom High School (which scored over 48,400 points) in Division 2, and Pleasant Grove High School (which scored over 44,400 points) in Division 3. Special thanks to our master of ceremonies for the evening, Kevin Riggs, Senior Vice President of Randle Communications, who did an outstanding job. He suggested that the book “The Invisibles: The Untold Story of African American Slaves in the White House” is a good read in recognition of Black History Month. The author is longtime Associated Press correspondent Jesse J. Holland.

Educator Effectiveness Expenditure Plan 2015-2016

We developed the expenditure plan for Educator Effectiveness Professional Development funds based upon analysis of our student achievement data (College Readiness), locally adopted assessments, our work with CAASPP Interim Assessments, a recent Mathematics adoption and upcoming English Language Arts adoption, continuing our momentum implementing the California Common Core State Standards and our efforts to ensure students are career ready.

The details of the plan were created after we surveyed certificated staff from our Court and Community Schools, Special Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and Sly Park Outdoor Education programs. We elicited suggestions at our bi-weekly Professional Development sequences via survey and feedback forms, and it was evident that our certificated staff wanted to see PD funds spent in the following areas of focus: supporting new teachers via support providers, coaching; coaching and curriculum design to implement our CCSS math and ELA adoptions and implementation; training our leaders to support new and existing staff; and teacher training and conferences to become stronger educators and classroom managers.

While this is a three year plan, we will examine our results and may make adjustments during years two and three.

For the 2015-2016 school year, Court and Community Schools, Special Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and Sly Park will participate in Professional Development in the following areas of focus:

Are you a continuing Delegate? 0Yes [{]No If yes, how long have you served as a Delegate? __ _

Why are you interested in becoming a County Delegate/CCBE Director? Please describe the skills and experiences you would bring to the Delegate Assembly and CCBE's Board of Directors.

Sin.ce 2009, I have participated in a number of CCBE activities, including serving as chair of the CCBB Charter Schools Task Force, as a member (and once as chair) of the CCBE Legislative Committee, and - most recently - as a member oflhe CCBE subconunittee charged with development of a new Policy Platform for the organization. 1 believe I could be a meaningful contributor both to CSBA and to CCBE in the capacity of County Delegate/CCBE Director.

During more than 25 years of employment with the Califomia Department of Education, I developed expertise in a number of subject matter areas, including fiscal services, curriculum frameworks and instructional materials, special education, and charter schools. Prior to that, my employment included service as the education consultant lo the State Senate's fiscal committee (since separated into two committees). I would bring the skills and experience from these positions to service on the Delegate Assembly and CCBE Board of Directors.

Please describe your activities and involvement on your local county board of education, community, and/or CSBA.

My service with the CCBE is noted above. On the Sacramento County Board of Edueation, I have served terms as Vice President (201 J-12) and as President (20 I 2-13). I have also served as a member (and chair) of the Budget Committee and as a member of the Policy Committee. In 2010, I chaired the state's Academic Content Standards Commission that recommended adoption of the Common Core State Standards (with additions and changes) to the State Board of Education.

My community service activities have included being a reading tutor in the Sacramento City Unified School District (through Reading Partners), a mentor to continuation high school students (through the Sacramento County Office of Education's LINKS Program), and a participant in the Senior Volunteer Program of the California Highway Patrol (with assignments that have included preparation of articles for the CHP's internal magazine, Zenith 12000). In August 2015, I became a mille1rnium donor with BloodSource, in recognition of more than 1,000 donations of blood, blood plasma, and platelets.

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing governing boards and how can CSBA help address it?

Working within the structure of the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), and working within the resources provided by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), the biggest challenge confronting governing boards is that of improving student achievement and closing the achievement gap as measured by the state's still-evolving accountability system. CSBA and CCBE can help address this challenge by continuing lo champion efforts to rebuild school funding to the 2007-08 level - adjusted for inflation, and adjusted for intervening events (such as increases in the contribution rates for STRS and PERS) - then to push beyond that level to something closer to the national average in per-student funding. CSBA and CCBE can also address this challenge in the traditional way of offering high quality professional development workshops, webinars, and similar events geared specifically for governing board members. Finally, the organizations can address this challenge by vigilantly guarding against the addition of still more challenges each year, allowing governing boards to keep focused and lo make real progress.

Why are you interested in becoming a County Delegate/CCBE Director? Please describe the skills and experiences you would bring to the Delegate Assembly and CCBE's Board of Directors.

I have been an advocate for education for over 40 years. In each phase of my career. I have served in a leadership role and hope to

eontinne as a delegate representing County Boards with CSBA. My career as an educator included being a classroom !cacher, counselor, principal, dircclor or programs and Superintendent. My current position is representing the students with disabilities in Napa County as its Special Education Local Plan Arca (SELPA) director. I have served the Statewide SELPA organization as the co-chair of the Legislative/Policy Committee. In this role, we monitor bills and and advocate for legislation to meet the needs of students with all abili ty levels.

Please describe your activities and involvement on your local county board of education, community, and/or CSBA.

During my tcnn on 1he Yolo County Board or Education I have served on several c.:ommi11ces and have represented the board at a variety or functions. I have just completed my term as President of the board. Prior to that I was Vice-President of the board. I've served on the Superintendents' Compensation Committee, Policies/Procedures/By- law Commi11ec and represented the board on the Yolo County Boards of Educat ion Association.

for several years. I have worked closely with the CSBA's Legislative Advm:atcs on several pieces of' legislation as a member of ACSA and the State SELPA organizations. I have represented Yolo County during the CSBA Legislative Sharing Day.

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing governing boards and how can CSBA help address it?

A simple answer would be, "anything that has to do with education is complicated and a challenge!" and that is our challenge as a board. County Board have a more difficult road to travel in some respects because of its lack or recognition as an elected body. District boards arc more recognizable by its citizens. We, at the county level, need to continue to promote a better understanding of Counties and their responsibilities to 1he greater whole.

I believe that over the years, the education community has made gains. CSBA needs to stay the course with its policies set by its members. We need to maintain a strong relationship and presence on the Education Management Group in order to continue our advocacy on the many challenges that we face.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION 10474 Mather Boulevard, P.O. Box 269003 Sacramento, CA 95826-9003 Subject: Contract to Procure Firewall Equipment for SCOE

Agenda Item No.: VIII.G. Enclosures: 1

Reason: Award Contract if SCOE Receives E-Rate Discounts for 2016-2017 Fiscal Year

From: David W. Gordon Prepared by: John Fleischman


BACKGROUND: E-Rate is a federally funded program that provides discounts to assist schools with obtaining affordable broadband connectivity, network equipment and telecommunications services. E-Rate funds also supplement the cost of maintaining SCOE’s Wide Area Network (WAN). Upon Board approval, the CNTS Department will award a contract for firewall equipment if E-Rate discounts are provided for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. SCOE is under no obligation to purchase the equipment if SCOE’s E-Rate applications are not funded. E-Rate has placed an emphasis on procuring networking equipment and services as a cost-effective way of providing broadband services to classrooms. Currently, it is projected that SCOE will be eligible for an 80% discount for E-Rate qualified services and equipment. Pursuant to E-Rate and SCOE purchasing requirements, SCOE published a request for proposals in January of 2016 for a Palo Alto Networks firewall. The request was posted to SCOE’s E-Rate Web site for 28 days so that any potential vendors could compete. An ad was also placed in the Sacramento Bee announcing the request for proposals. SCOE uses a scoring matrix that places the highest emphasis on the lowest quoted amount for each item. The selected vendor (Optiv Security) provided the lowest quoted amount.

$62,846.10

This firewall equipment is essential to ensure that SCOE’s student and administrative networks are protected from hackers and malicious attacks. The new equipment will also increase the available Internet bandwidth for both student and staff computers to 10 Gigabits of throughput.

VIII.G.2.

SCOE’s estimated cost for the equipment will be approximately $12,569.22 after the 80% E-Rate discount is applied. SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION: The Superintendent recommends approval of the contract with the vendor indicated above assuming E-Rate discounts are provided for 2016-2017.
