SITUATION
At the beginning of each school year, the appointment of new members to the Instructional Materials Committee is required.

Changes to IMC procedures, starting this year, include the addition of a representative from the Technology Operations Department, a Safety Net teacher, and a reduction of one special education position. Because members serve a three-year term, one of the current special education teachers will continue serving until her term expires. This second position would not be filled after 2016.

REDIRECTING BOND PROCEEDS AND MATCHING FUNDS PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION NO. 2196
October 6, 2014
SITUATION In November of 2005, the board passed Resolution No. 1969 authorizing a special election on February 7, 2006 in order to propose the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $436 million. The bonds were to be used for Phase II of the district’s modernization program which modernized 11 schools and built one new school (Carson Elementary). The bond election passed and the district proceeded to sell $423.025 million of the bonds over the next six years in order to complete the projects. The projects were completed on time and under budget. The district estimates it will have approximately $12 million of unspent bond funds remaining. In addition, the district originally estimated that it would receive $23 million of state matching funds for these projects. The district actually received $33 million of state matching funds. Three million of these funds were designated to pay interest on the 2012 Limited General Obligation Bonds which were issued to front fund projects from the 2011 six-year Capital Projects Levy. Due to failure of the 2014 bond measures, and the need to the serve the district’s growing enrollment, there is a need to redirect unused funds to be used for additional projects. These projects include purchase and installation of portable classrooms; acquisition of land; modification of building interiors; remodeling, upgrading, and equipping classrooms as necessary for instructional programs; addition of permanent classroom space at Redmond Elementary School; and bond planning and pre-design. In order to use the unspent bond funds and unallocated state matching funds on additional projects, it is necessary for the board to hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution modifying the original bond resolution. A public hearing has been scheduled for tonight. Action on the adopting the resolution will be placed on the October 20 agenda. The proposed resolution is attached. RECOMMENDATION The Board of Directors holds a public hearing regarding redirecting of bond proceeds and matching funds as outlined in Resolution No. 2196.
RESOLUTION NO. 2196

proportion of the qualified electors of the District required by law for the adoption thereof voted

obligation bonds proposed by Resolution No. 1969; and

state matching funds for the projects authorized by Resolution No. 1969; and
WHEREAS, the improvements approved in Proposition No. 3 have been completed

8. Monitor and assure that each school’s Continuous Improvement Process Plan supports the accomplishment of the performance targets for the indicators associated with the Student Learning Milestone: 5th Graders’ Overall Academic Readiness for Middle School.
In Compliance
Evidence Continuous Improvement Process All schools in the Lake Washington School District currently complete School Improvement Plans (CIP in LWSD) per WAC 180-16-220. Specifically, all Elementary schools complete the required goal areas for the areas where state assessments are conducted. Additionally, schools set goals for all grades where consistent district assessment data is collected at the primary grades (DIBELs K-2). Schools use the following timeline for accomplishing their Continuous Improvement Process with staff:
Month Work August Large Scale Assessments downloaded into Data Dashboard.
Building staffs begin to review data prior to the start of school to finalize student placement into support or enrichment programs.
September Building staffs reflect and analyze previous year’s goals and action plans against the Large Scale State Assessment results. Buildings staffs use Learning Enhancement and Academic Planning (LEAP) Wednesdays to meet in grade level/content level Professional Learning Community (PLC) teams to write reflection and analysis for Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) plans. Schools use the Data Dashboard to access student achievement data to reflect on progress goals that are specific, measureable, achievable, realistic, and timely (SMART).
September- May Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) testing. October Part 1: Reflection and Analysis due to Directors of School Support. November Part 2: Building staffs use LEAP Wednesdays to write SMART goals for 2012-13 year
using Data Dashboard. Part 2: Current CIP goals due to Directors of School Support.
December- June Building Staffs continue to use LEAP Wednesdays to meet in content or grade level PLC teams in order to: write unit/lesson plans, develop common assessments, and examine student work/outcomes/results.
January Directors of School Support write a summary of their Learning Community results and submit them in addition to the CIP Plans to the LWSD Board of Directors.
January-June Directors of School Support meet with each building administrator and leadership team to discuss progress towards meeting CIP goals which leads to evaluation in June.
February- March Principals provide time for faculty and staff to take the “9 Characteristics of Effective Schools” survey. (Taken each year to provide direction for developing Perception Goals in the spring).
March-April Faculties and students participate in state testing. May Using the last full day LEAP, faculties review the work of the year and begin setting
goals for the following year. In addition, faculties review preliminary 9 Characteristics results to set perception goals for the following year.

In Compliance
Evidence {continued} Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) Review: As part of the District’s comprehensive strategic plan, the Continuous Improvement Process will undergo a review and refinement process during the 2014-15 school year. The goals of this process are:
Develop better alignment between the CIP and LWSD 2018 Performance Targets. Develop better alignment between principal student growth goals and school CIP. Review district and state data systems to better inform reflection and goal setting processes. Ensure the process supports the leadership of the instructional program at each school. Ensure the process is data driven. Ensure the process supports nonacademic student learning and growth. Ensure the process is supported by input of building staff, students, families, parents, and community
members. Ensure the process considers issues of equity and opportunity. Ensure the process considers the impact of technology on instruction and student learning. Ensure the process provides a forum for schools to ensure students achievement and growth are
monitored and adjusted for, on an ongoing basis. I certify the above to be correct as of October 6, 2014. Traci Pierce, Superintendent

Lake Washington School District
2014 Legislative Platform
Full Funding for Basic Education
We believe the Legislature should fully comply with its “paramount duty” to
provide ample funding for all K-12 children by funding and implementing all
aspects of Washington’s redefined program of Basic Education
(HB 2261 [2009]) and SHB 2776 (2010) through a comprehensive, stable, and
sustainable funding system.
We believe the Legislature should include public school employee compensation
in the Basic Education funding system. We believe the Legislature should review
and take action on the final report submitted by the Compensation Technical
Working Group (June 2012). However, we believe that a regional cost of living
allowance should be implemented as part of a Basic Education funding system
for public school employee compensation.
Flexibility and Local Control
We believe the Legislature should ensure that local school communities
maintain flexibility to fund enrichment beyond Basic Education. We believe that
local districts should maintain the authority to collect local dollars to fund local
needs, above and beyond Basic Education. We believe that the ability to collect
local funds should be consistently applied to all districts and the legislature
should address the inherent inequities that currently exist as a result of both
salary and levy lid grandfathering.
We believe the Legislature should propose a constitutional amendment that
would provide for the approval of school district bonds by simple majority and
would eliminate the supermajority approval requirements based on voter turnout
in the previous elections
