RESOLUTION NO.14-15-14

AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH

FEBRUARY 2015

WHEREAS Americans of African descent helped develop our nation in countless ways, those

recognized, unrecognized and unrecorded; and

WHEREAS African American history reflects a determined spirit of perseverance and cultural pride

in its struggle to equally share in the opportunities of a nation founded upon the principles

of freedom and liberty for all people; and

WHEREAS African American citizens have participated in every American effort to secure, protect,

and maintain the essence and substance of American democracy; and

WHEREAS the California State Board of Education recognizes in its Policy Statement on

Multicultural Education that each student needs an opportunity to understand the

common humanity underlying all people; to develop pride in his or her own identity and

heritage; and to understand, respect, and accept the identity and heritage of others; and

WHEREAS the history and contributions of African American citizens have been consistently

overlooked, misinterpreted, and undervalued in the curriculum of public education

institutions prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and

WHEREAS the History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten

Through Grade Twelve states that the history curriculum of community, state, region,

nation, and work must reflect the experiences of men and women and of different racial,

religious, and ethnic groups and must be integrated at every level; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED that the Garvey Board of Education does hereby recognize February 2015 as “African

American History Month” and encourages all schools in the district to commemorate this

occasion with appropriate instructional activities.

ADOPTED this 5th day of February 2015 by the Garvey School District Board of Education.

RESOLUTION NO.14-15-15

LOCAL RESERVES CAP

SB 858, Section 27/California Education Code 42127.01

FEBRUARY 2015

WHEREAS school district governing boards have the obligation to provide a quality education that is

essential for an informed citizenry, a competitive economy, a fulfilling life for all

students, and the foundation of our democratic society; and

WHEREAS school district governing boards are responsible for maintaining fiscal solvency of the

school systems they govern; and

WHEREAS the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), based on the principle of subsidiarity,

provides governing boards, working with interested stakeholders, with the authority to

prioritize funds in order to provide quality education for all students, especially those who

are English learners, from low income households and who are Foster Youth; and

WHEREAS funds for crucial services for school operations, such as payroll, classroom materials,

school construction projects, technology, home-to-school transportation, deferred

maintenance, etc. often require successful ongoing cash-flow management and

disciplined planning, including the creation and maintenance of prudent financial

reserves; and

WHEREAS school district reserve levels, as well as their fund balances, are determined by governing

boards to meet local priorities and allow districts to save for potential future expected and

unexpected expenditures and for eventual economic downturns; and

WHEREAS community funded schools (Basic Aid Districts) receive funds only twice a year and must

rely on adequate reserves to manage cash flow for normal daily operations and for future

purchases and unforeseen events; and

WHEREAS the statutory minimum for school district reserves for economic uncertainties ranges from

1 to 5 percent, depending on district enrollment, and covers between one to five weeks of

payroll, or less than 20 days of total cash flow; and

WHEREAS prudent budgeting raises expectations for school districts to establish and maintain

reserves above the statutory minimum; and

WHEREAS the governing board of Garvey School District currently maintains a reserve of

approximately 9% for purposes of planned expenses/purchases such as major textbook

adoptions, planned projects such as deferred maintenance/HVAC/roofing needs, cash

flow needs to allow the District to make payroll, etc., during the next economic downturn

and when the revenues from Proposition 30 begin to sunset, to maintain an acceptable

credit rating; and

Page 34: GARVEY SCHOOL DISTRICT · B. Conference with Labor Negotiators (Pursuant to Gov. Code Sec. 3549.1) Conference with labor negotiators, Genaro Alarcon and Anita Chu ... they shared

WHEREAS on June 20, 2014, the Governor signed into law SB 858 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal

Review, Chapter 32, Statutes of 2014), now embodied in California Education Code

42127.10; and

WHEREAS SB858, Sec. 27 Education Code 42127.01, is now operative with the passage of

Proposition 2 on the November 2014 state ballot, and require school districts to spend

their assigned and unassigned account balances down to no more than two to-three times

the minimum level of the statutory reserve for economic uncertainties (depending on

district size) in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the State of California

makes a payment of any amount to the Public School System Stabilization Account; and

WHEREAS under SB 858 this provision, a deposit by the State of California of even $1 to the Public

School System Stabilization Account would result in school districts throughout

California having to spend down billions of dollars in their reserves and ending balances;

and

WHEREAS it could take many years for the State of California to build an adequate Public School

System Stabilization account; yet, in one year, school districts would be forced to spend

down their reserves and ending balances to levels that could jeopardize fiscal solvency;

and

WHEREAS the LCFF is not fully implemented, many school districts are still funded below their

2007-08 levels, and districts cannot survive another downturn without fiscally responsible

reserves; now, therefore be,

BE IT RESOLVED that the Garvey Board of Education calls upon the legislature and the Governor to repeal

the language contained in Sec. 27 of SB 858 (Chapter 32, Statutes of 2014) and now in

Education Code 42127.01 immediately.

ADOPTED this 5th day of February 2015 by the Garvey School District Board of Education.
