BOARD OF EDUCATION LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

_________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Instruction Enclosures _________________________________________________________________________

CATEGORY: Business Item/s Reason for Board

Consideration: Action/Information Date: June 3, 2014 _________________________________________________________________________ 1. APPROVE SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT 2013-2014 Approve the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Garfield Elementary School. The plan has been reviewed by Equity, Access, and College & Career Readiness staff for compliance. The plan contains the components of effective planning based on student needs, assessment data, use of staff, parent involvement, and allocation of resources. The school’s approved SPSA for the 2013-2014 school year will also serve as an interim plan until the following school year’s SPSA is revised and approved. The funding for all programs and personnel outlined in this SPSA is reflective of the current fiscal year only.

2. APPROVE LBSA’S WASC ACTION PLAN Approve the Western Association of Schools and Colleges’ (WASC) Action Plan for the Long Beach School for Adults (LBSA). The WASC process engages the school to clarify or redefiine its expected student learner outcomes and culminates in the development of a three- to five-year schoolwide action plan. LBSA’s action plan has been reviewed by the Office of Secondary Schools for compliance. 3. APPROVE REVISION OF GEOGRAPHY HIGH SCHOOL COURSE OUTLINE Approve the revised high school academic elective course outline for Geography. The revised course outline reflects: (1) increased rigor; (2) more detailed outline of the content; (3) key assignments for the priority content addressed in the course; and (4) literacy and career oriented skills called for in the Common Core State Literacy Standards for History. The revised course has been designed to focus on the standards established for eleventh and twelfth grade students and includes an identified prerequisite. The Deputy Superintendent has reviewed the revised course outline and recommends the course for approval. 4. AUTHORIZE SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION TO THE CA K-8 NGSS EARLY

IMPLEMENTATION INITIATIVE Authorize the submission of the district’s application to participate in the California K-8 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Early Implementation Initiative, funded by the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation. Participation in this initiative will assist the district in building a strong leadership team to guide the planning and implementation of a strategic plan to support the systematic implementation of the NGSS through professional development and collaborative networks. 5. AUTHORIZE RECEIPT OF FUNDS FROM THE CAPP COLLEGE-GOING CULTURE

GRANT

2

Authorize the receipt of funds for Cabrillo High School from the California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) Creating a College-Going Culture Grant. The grant is to support high schools that are interested in enhancing their transition to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) with specific activities and strategies, as supported by research, to increase the college-going culture of their school. CAPP is administered by the California State University system. 6. APPROVE PARTICIPATION IN THE INVESTING IN INNOVATION FUND (i3)

VALIDATION GRANT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL HISTORY TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Approve participation in the Shared Literacy: A Blueprint for Common Core Implementation in the Content Areas to be funded by the Department of Education Investing in Innovation Fund (i3). Participation in the grant facilitates the implementation of the Common Core State Standards by offering middle-school history teachers access to formative assessment tools, innovative Common Core and Content Standards-based curriculum for seventh and eighth grade teachers, and a professional development program that is designed to improve student reading comprehension, expository writing ability, and critical thinking.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

SUBJECT: Resolution 060314-A Enclosures: One CATEGORY: New Business Item Reason for Board

Consideration: ACTION Financial Services Date: June 3, 2014 BACKGROUND: The County of Los Angeles Department of Auditor-Controller allows school districts to provide estimates of debt service payments if there is an expectation that bonds will be issued in the upcoming fiscal year. This allows the Auditor-Controller to place the appropriate tax levies on the annual tax rolls to cover the debt service requirements of the bonds. If a school district expects to issue bonds in the upcoming fiscal year, the County Auditor-Controller requires that the Governing Board adopt a resolution by June 30, 2014 which indicates the date that bonds are expected to be issued, the amount to be financed, that the amount is within its authorized but unissued bond allowance, and that the Superintendent or designee is authorized by the Board to provide a debt service estimate to the Auditor-Controller. An analysis of bond program project plans has shown a need for $270.0 million in additional funding in 2014-15. Of the total $1.2 billion Measure K authorization, the District currently has $814.6 million remaining in unissued allowance. Approval of the attached Resolution will facilitate the calculation of the appropriate tax levy to cover the new issuance. At the time of issuance, as customary and required, the Board will be requested to adopt a resolution authorizing the sale of the bonds. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 060314-A A RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNING BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUESTING BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO ESTABLISH A TAX RATE FOR BONDS OF THE LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT EXPECTED TO BE SOLD DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014-15, AND AUTHORIZING NECESSARY ACTIONS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
