Board of Trustees Minutes of Regular Meeting, March 21, 2012 5.0 Discussion and/or Action Item 5A. Request for Proposal (RFP) for Leasing and Maintenance of New Copiers Assistant Superintendent Pachter brought this item to the Board for consideration. The

District’s five-year lease of 23 copier/printers is expiring on June 30, 2012. Ralph recommended the Board of Trustees authorize a Request for Proposal to lease new copy machines that would cost less money and have additional capabilities.

On a motion by Dean Nevins, seconded by Richard Mayer, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve Request for Proposal (RFP) for Leasing and Maintenance of New Copiers.

5B. First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation 4117.11/4317.11—Preretirement Part-Time Employment

Assistant Superintendent Donna Madrigal brought this item to the Board for approval. Update clarifies that, if a district allows certificated employees who are members of the defined benefit program of the California State Teacher’s Retirement System to reduce their workload to part time while continuing to receive the same service credit and other benefits as full-time employees, it must afford equal treatment to all certificated employees who meet the eligibility requirements. Also adds requirement for the district and/or employee to make the payment or contribution necessary for the employee to retain a benefit in the same manner as if the employee were employed full time.

On a motion by Dean Nevins, seconded by Valerie Kushnerov, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation 4117.11/4317.11—Preretirement Part-Time Employment as amended

5C. First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation 4217.3—Layoff/Rehire Assistant Superintendent Donna Madrigal brought this item to the Board for approval.

Policy update clarifies that laid-off classified employees’ reemployment rights must be enforced in order of seniority rather than reverse order of layoff. Also permanent status of laid-off classified employee is not retained when the employee is reemployed in a different class.

On a motion by Dean Nevins, seconded by Pam Kinsley, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the First Hearing of Updates to Administrative Regulation 4217.3—Layoff/Rehire as presented.

The Board of Trustees of the Goleta Union School District wishes to recognize the exceptional qualities of the professional staff that educates our students. Recognition of the accomplishments of these teachers is particularly important since the mandates of No Child Left Behind have imposed teacher quality requirements, data collection, and assessment and accountability systems that inappropriately question the abilities of professional educators to do their jobs. The following resolution establishes the 2012, Day of the Teacher as May 9, and recognizes the unique contributions Goleta teachers make to their communities.

Discussion/Action April 11, 2012 Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSAs) 2011-2012 Elizabeth DeVita, Assistant Superintendent, Instructional Services This item is to request Board approval for each school’s Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for the 2011-2012 school year. The District’s Local Education Agency (LEA) Plan provides the framework for each school’s instructional focus and achievement strategies. Due to the Districtwide approach on professional development and the use of professional learning communities in the areas of Reading-Language Arts, Math, and English Language Development, many of the strategies in the school plans are similar. The purpose of the SPSA is to coordinate all educational services at the school. It is used to improve the academic performance of all students and to link school resources to specific instructional strategies. The plans identify key areas for improving student achievement, research-proven strategies, and methods to evaluate progress. School Site Councils align the plan with the site categorical budget to attain the goals for student learning. In August of each year, principals and teachers analyze the results of the STAR testing in Language Arts, Math, and Science, in addition to May assessment data on kindergartners, first graders and English learners. The analysis is used to develop an instruction and intervention plan for their school, which is presented to the Board each September. During the school year, usually in the spring, once test data and budget figures are confirmed, the State’s template for the SPSA is used with District schools to fulfill the required compliance items found in Education Code 64001. The SPSA for each school also contains the School Site Parent Involvement Policy as required by law. A copy of each SPSA is enclosed. As a condition for receipt of categorical funds, the Board of Trustees must review and approve each school’s plan. Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approves the 2011-12 Single Plan for Student Achievement for Brandon, El Camino, Ellwood, Foothill, Hollister, Isla Vista, Kellogg, La Patera and Mountain View Schools.
