Consent Item Action Item X Information Item

Submitted by William Banning, Superintendent

Executive Summary: As part of the regular meeting agenda, this item will focus on topics most closely related to the Goleta Union School District’s vision and goals as outlined in the District’s Strategic Plan, Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), and other strategically important programs, initiative and documents. Topics that will be covered at the current meeting include:

1. Each year the California Legislature proclaims April as Public School Month. The GUSD School Board has also adopted a resolution designating the week of April 18-22, 2016 as Public School Volunteer Week. Together these two designations provide a yearly opportunity for schools and families to honor and highlight the powerful contributions parents and caregivers provide at school and home to support student success. The Board would like to recognize those parents who have volunteered for six or more years and whose youngest child is now graduating from elementary school.

Budget Development for Fiscal Year 2016-17

Consent Item Action Item

X Information Item

Submitted by Conrad Tedeschi, CPA, Assistant Superintendent, Fiscal Services

Executive Summary:

Discussion continues into the Adopted Budget development process for the 2016-17 fiscal year. The governor has released his fiscal budget proposals for next year, and at this time there are still significant uncertainties with regards to revenues that will limit the ability to make any significant expansions to non-revenue producing programs within the 2016 Adopted Budget process.

The recently negotiated salary increase for District employees will begin to spend down district reserves. Much care is needed over the next year to manage the budget around what could potentially be no growth in property tax revenue due to the impact of the oil pipeline closure.

Some of the areas to discuss that will impact the 2016-17 budget include: 1. Expansion of the District After School Program2. Expansion of the District Preschool Program3. Status of Transitional Kindergarten classes.4. Deferred Maintenance projects5. Fiscal Priorities associated with LCAP goals

Board discretion over certain one-time discretionary funding spending priorities and the use of Educator Effectiveness grant funds will also be important items to address. While we have these amounts in our General Fund Balance reserves there is the potential of more one-time discretionary money in 2016-17 with the amount proposed to be significantly less than what was provided in 2015-16. There is no certainty in receiving this money until the state adopts its budget in June.

April 6, 2016 Policy / Education Code Clarification on 6-Year-Old Entry to School


X Information Item

Submitted by Dr. Margaret Saleh, Assistant Superintendent, Pupil Services

Executive Summary:

California Education Code 48010 states: (a) A child shall be admitted to the first grade of an elementary school during the first month of a school year if the child will have his or her sixth birthday on or September 1 of the 2014-15 school year and each school year thereafter. (b) For good cause, the governing board of a school district may permit a child of proper age to be admitted to a class after the first school month of the school term.

Currently there are seven students enrolled in GUSD Kindergarten classes who entered Kindergarten at the age of six. Parents and teachers have requested that the Board of Trustees consider a procedure for considering and allowing children to be parentally placed in Kindergarten at the age of six.

Education Code allows for Kindergarten Continuance when the parents and the District agree that a child who has completed kindergarten would benefit from a second year of kindergarten before matriculation to first grade.

The Board of Trustees will discuss options for considering development of a process for allowing children to begin Kindergarten at the age of six years old.

Board approval will allow finalization of the MOU, which will be presented as information upon completion of revisions and specific terms.
