AGENDA – May 7, 2015

5.0 DISTRICT ORGANIZATION AND BOARD OPERATION

5.1 Approve the Tentative Agreement between the Association of Coronado Teachers and

Coronado Unified School District (Action)

Background Information:

Negotiations between representatives of the Association of Coronado Teachers (ACT) and

Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) representatives occurred during the 2014-2015

school year.

Report:

ACT and CUSD representatives met during the 2014-2015 school year to discuss, clarify, and

revise language contained within certain articles in the Agreement between ACT and CUSD.

Amendments to eleven articles and two appendices (I, III, IV, VI, XII, XIII, XXII, XVII,

XVIII, XX, XXI, Appendix A and B) were tentatively agreed to when negotiations were

concluded April 28, 2015. These eleven articles and two appendices have been reviewed and

ratified by ACT membership. A revised contract will be provided to the Board and ACT

membership.

The amendments/updates are attached.

Financial Impact:

The financial impact of the agreement regarding the salary schedule is estimated to be a

$449,114 increase in salary and benefits in 2015-16 and an additional $902,557 in 2016-17,

then ongoing. There is a negligible financial impact from the provisions regarding release

days for negotiating team members, personal necessity leave, and early retirement benefits,

largely dependent upon the extent of the utilization of the new provisions.

__________________________________________________________________________

Superintendent’s Recommendation:

That the Board Approve the Tentative Agreement between the Association of Coronado

Teachers and Coronado Unified School District.

5.0 INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS & STUDENT ACTIVITIES

5.2 Adopt New Spanish I and II Foreign Language Textbooks for Coronado High School (Action)


Complying with Board Policy 6161.1, textbooks recommended for adoption by a textbook selection

committee will be displayed and available for public inspection at the District Office. The last

adoption of instructional materials for Spanish I and II was nine years ago (2006).

The current balance of CUSD instructional materials (set-aside in general fund) is $469,446.00 to be

used for all preschool-grade 12 instructional materials for the foreseeable future; there are no new

additional instructional materials funds from the State of California. There is also $260,000.00 in

Lottery Funds (restricted to purchasing consumable instructional materials). By June 30, 2015 all

Common Core Implementation Funds will have been spent (English language arts and mathematics

only.) New State adoptions for English Language Arts and Science instructional materials may be

considered in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The Foreign Language Department will also be requesting new instructional materials for Spanish and

French IV aligned to the new AP/College Board for the Governing Board’s consideration. There are

no other requests for new secondary textbooks at this time for 2015-16.

Report:

A textbook selection committee, comprised of teachers from Coronado High School (CHS), reviewed

a number of textbooks for Spanish levels I and II. In 2013, the College Board updated the curriculum

for these courses, shifting from grammatical accuracy to a “holistic approach that recognizes the

complex interrelatedness of comprehension and comprehensibility, vocabulary usage, language

control, communication strategies, and cultural awareness.”

The committee did an in-depth review of the following textbooks:

• Descubre: Lengua y cultura del mundo hispano. Vista Higher Learning. (Spanish 3 is

currently using this text.)

• ¡Avancemos!. Holt McDougal.

• Español Santillana. Santillana USA Publishing Company.

• ¡Así se dice!. McGraw-Hill.

• ¡Qué chévere!. EMC Paradigm. (This is the new edition of the current textbook that is

used in levels 1 and 2.)

A committee comprised of CHS Spanish teachers Steve Merrill, Maria Gutierrez, and Mia Bertelsen

recommends the following textbook for Spanish levels I and II:

Descubre: Lengua y cultura del mundo hispano. Vista Higher Learning. Second Edition,

2014.

of 33

JPF

The committee chose this book because it teaches grammar as a tool in a logical manner and culture is

presented in context. It contains a variety of instructional materials that can be used flexibly to design

lessons including authentic video clips (i.e. commercials, TV shows, short films), video programs (i.e.

Flash cultura, Panorama cultural, and Fotonovela), integrative audio activities, a variety of practice

activities (both individual and pair/group), as well as inclusive assessment materials. The textbooks

align with the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century, the current California

Foreign Language Frameworks, and with the new College Board curriculum framework, including the

AP curriculum, and the Common Core State Standards English Language Arts and English Language

Development Framework.

The department also researched the only available Open Educational Resource (OER) from Georgia

Virtual Schools for these courses. The materials lacked flow and had limited grammar practice and

vocabulary. It failed to integrate the grammar and vocabulary with the unit’s theme.

The department is requesting 380 textbooks (print version) for levels I and II to remain in

class for student use, the online edition for the students for use mostly at home (380

licenses for six years), and consumables for six years at $134.00 per student for all three

components. Total cost for these components is $50,920.00.

The online version includes browser-based electronic text for online viewing; links to

audio, video, and other activities; access to other “Supersite” resources provided by the

publisher; easy navigation with searchable table of contents and page number browsing;

single and double page viewing and zooming; and automatically graded activities into

teacher gradebook. It is available on iPad or PC devices.

Other pricing options include:

Ordering the print option alone is not available.

The online version and a consumable is $120.00 per student for 6 years, for a total cost of

$45,600.00.

The online version alone is $84.00 per student with access for 6 years for a total cost

$31,920.00.

Six teacher resource kits @ 343.00. Total cost is $2,058.00

A committee of Coronado High School parents reviewed this text.

Financial Impact:

The total cost of 380 print versions, 380 six year online licenses, with six teacher resource kits is

$52,978.00 before tax and shipping. Funding is available from the instructional materials set-aside in

the general fund and the Lottery Fund for consumables.

5.3 Adopt Resolution Implementing Certificated Layoff: Terminating Services of

Particular Certificated Employees As A Result of Discontinuances and Reductions of

Particular Kinds of Certificated Services; Providing Direction to Issue Notifications to

Employees Whose Services are Terminated; and Related Actions (Action)


Current financial constraints and uncertainties regarding revenue are insufficient to maintain

existing levels of programs and services.

Proposal: Due to the financial constraints and uncertainties regarding revenue being insufficient to

maintain current levels of programs and services, including particular kinds of certificated

services, and reassessment of educational priorities, and it being necessary to commence

implementing program changes in a timely fashion within the current structure of the law, it is

recommended that for the best interests of the District and the welfare of the schools and the

pupils thereof, to act upon Resolution #15-03-03, previously approved on March 5, 2015, and

provide direction to issue notifications to employees whose services are terminated. Such

certificated services shall be discontinued and reduced particular kinds of services (“PKS”)

and the corresponding number of certificated staff shall be reduced no later than the

beginning of the 2015-2016 school year (in addition to the release of temporary certificated

employees and/or the expiration of their contracts without renewals or re-issuances).

Financial Impact: The fiscal impact will be determined by the number of certificated employees rehired given

specific site budgets.

Background Information: Typically during the fiscal year there are two interim periods to review the budget; the first

ending October 31, 2014, and the other ending January 31, 2015. At the Second Interim

Report for 2014-15 the Coronado Unified School District certified that it will be able to meet

its financial obligations for the current fiscal and 2015-16, but may not be able to meet its

financial obligations for the 2016-17 fiscal year. Due to this situation, a Third Interim Report,

also known as an End of Year Report, is required to be approved by the Governing Board.

A copy of the following report will be provided to the Governing Board under separate cover

and will be available on the District website on Tuesday, May 5, 2015.

6.1 Discuss the Organizational Efficiency and Comparative Staffing Review of the

District Office and related Departments report from School Services of California

(Report)

Report: The CUSD Governing Board requested that staff obtain a proposal for the conduct of an

organizational efficiency and comparative staffing review. The intent of the study was to

identify workflow efficiencies and potential classified staff reductions that would lead to

increased fiscal prudence with minimal disruption to service provision.

The Governing Board approved contracting with School Services of California (SSC) for this

study in November, 2014. Preliminary information was provided to SSC, and interviews

were conducted onsite in January 2015. SSC also collected data from nine comparative

districts to aid in the analysis of Coronado Unified School District.

The report is provided to the Board under separate cover. In a paragraph on numbered Page 2

is a statement that directly addresses the Board’s intent in setting up this study:

Overall, based upon the staffing data provided from the other districts in this study

and in looking at existing workload, we did not find any areas of the District Office

where we could recommend staffing reductions. We make recommendations to meet

the workload demands by restructuring some of the departments, automating certain

functions, and gaining efficiencies, and to augment staff in certain areas in order to

provide adequate service levels and/or generate offsetting savings.

It is expected that the Governing Board will wish to discuss findings of this report.

Financial Impact:

There is no financial impact from receiving this report.
