9.5 Approve the Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) Applications

Description: The Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) has three goals:

• Improve the quality of academic instruction and the level of pupil achievement in schools

• Develop exemplary school practices to recruit and retain well-qualified staff • Focus school resources solely on instructional improvement and services to

pupils In 2006-07, under threat of lawsuit, the Governor and the Legislature approved funding for Proposition 98 to what it would have been without the suspension from the previous budget. The created a schedule to pay back one-time losses over a seven-year period. Funding to pay back prior-year losses will be paid out over seven years (total of $3.0 billion) – split between K-12 and community colleges. The K-12 share goes toward QEIA. Only decile 1 and 2 schools based on the 2005 Academic Program Index (API) are eligible as well as High Priority Schools Grant Program (HPSG) schools that failed to exit. There are two distinct funding opportunities that comprise QEIA:

• Regular Program (at least 85% of funded pupils) • Alternative Program (up to 15% of funded pupils)

Each program has its own requirements, including class-size reduction for the regular program for the K-3 program as well as grades 4 & 5. We have one school, Hyatt Elementary, which is eligible, given the growth in the district and the amount of QEIA funds that can be applied for facilities. Three schools are eligible for the alternative program, De Anza Elementary, San Jacinto Elementary, and Record Elementary. The alternative program consists of research-based activities that include our current program improvement strategies such as professional learning communities, using data to inform instruction, an intervention program, coaching, and so forth. The selection of schools is done on a lottery basis.

Fiscal Implications: None. Recommended Action: That the Board approves the submission and application of the four schools for the Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) funding.
