Agenda Item #2 Donations of Funds and Equipment page 1 Total Donations $305,999.63 Board Audio: 51:37 (51 minutes 37 Seconds) The Board voted 6-0-1 WITHOUT COMMENT (Trustee Reardon was absent) The Item was moved by Trustee Pritchard. A second by Trustee Hanacek.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING FUNDRAISING AND DONATIONS Every student is entitled to DISTRICT FUNDED Art, Music and Science programs that align with minimum state mandated Content Standards and Curriculum Frameworks, and is taught by a properly credentialed teacher. I have stood before this Board many times and explained that it is illegal for CUSD to rely on fundraising and donations (one-time money) to pay for staff salaries, core educational programs like art, music, science (on-going expenses). Core educational programs must be funded by the District because they have a Constitutional obligation to provide EVERY student with an equal opportunity to achieve a quality education. Relying on fundraising and donations to pay for staff salaries and core educational programs creates wealth based inequities in the quality of education that students receive within the district, and is a violation of Assembly Bill 1575.

Agenda Item #10 RESOLUTION NO. 1617-56, Ratification of Agreement to Purchase the Escencia School Site and Delegation to Accept the Deed. page 252 THIS ITEM WAS PULLED THE ITEM WILL BE HEARD AT A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING MARCH 15, 2017 CUSD TO PURCHASE ESCENCIA SCHOOL SITE LAND The proposed scope and cost of the land for Escencia was projected to be $21 million for 14 acres - $1.5 million per acre. The Board is being asked to approve a purchase price of $33.86 million for 14 acres - $2.42 million per acre. The CUSD Apraisal of this land was completed in October 2016 and Trustees received the Appraisal in this Board packet. Staff did not provide Trustees with an opportunity to review the proposal prior to this Board Meeting. The Appraisal was not made public by CUSD and was not added to this Agenda item because of potential Brown Act Violations. Members of the Public have filed a Complaint with the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Division. Conclusions: The price of the land must be re-negotiated. Staff placed this Item on the Consent Calendar without disclsoing the price. Clark Hampton executed this agreement on January 19, 2017 WITHOUT BOARD APPROVAL. The Attorney for CUSD signed the agreement with an X and is unidentifiable. Mello Roos Taxpayers in Ladera Ranch and Talega are being denied seats at SJH and Tesoro so that Ranch students can be given priority at Las Flores K-8 and Tesorro. A March 2016 capacity study shows that CUSD is 8,555 students over legal capacity (before providing seats to any Ranch studnts). PA1 and PA2 are projected to generate 1,119 students between now and 2018 who will have no seat. Esencia K-8 is a dirt lot. High Schools are over capacity by 5,235. CUSD needs to build a new $200 million dollar High School to serve the Ranch. The State is no longer helping to fund new facilities. The Ranch is projected to add a minimum of 5,000 students to CUSD when it is completely built out which was originally suppose to take 25 - 30 years. The time line is moving much more quickly. PA1 and PA2 are almost complete and Permits for PA3 and PA4 are in planning. |

Board Audio: 65:30 (1 Hour 5 Minutes 30 Seconds) The Board voted 5-0-1-1 (Trustee Reardon was absent)(Trustee Jones abstained) at 67:21 Trustee Jones - at the last meeting she asked for a Scope of work on these projects. Work is satisfactory. I contacted several Districts that have worked with Hanover and it was unanimous that CUSD has the in-house expertise to develop our own Gate Program. We needed outside help for MIP and we will need outside help for Spanish Immersion. The studies are to see what is good and what we need to work on. Regarding GATE - our GATE teachers have not been included in this process at all and Trustee Jones felt that CUSD was not being respectful of their knowledge and expertise. Will not oppose this- but will not support contracts like this in the future. This company is a Stake-holder survey company. at 70:18 Trustee Hatton-Hodson going forward we will have a State Data Dashboard which will provide OBJECTIVE DATA. Gate teachers may not be objective because that is their job and they want the program to continue. The Item was moved by Trustee Pritchard. A second by Trustee Hatton-Hodson. at 71:20 Does a 2-way student achieve at the same rate as other students. We do not want to get rid of GATE we want to make it better. at 72:35 If we vote for this contract it ends in August and then we can move forward from there. at 72:54 Re: GATE we do have in-house resources - but with this contract we get the best of both. at 73:21 Trustee Hanacek moves approval. Second by Trustee Holloway. BACKGROUND This Item was continued from the January 25, 2016 BOT meeting to better define the scope of work to be done. Trustee Jones wants a review and comparison of the Districts 2-way Spanish Immersion program as compared to other programs like ESL to see if the program is as effective as others. Staff is also researching whether or not class size and differentiated learning is really a benefit. Parents have been expressing their concerns about the lack of programing for GATE identified and High Achieving students. Trustee Vital admitted on the record that Staff, without Board approval made the unilateral decision to eliminate programming for high achieving students. Hanover Research provides tailored research through an annual, fixed-fee model. Tailored research means that the District will get research that supports the conclusion they want to reach... elimination of differentiated learning and 2- way spanish immersion. Previous discussion of this item can be listened to. at 75:20 (1 hour 15 minutes 20 seconds)

Note from: Dawn Urbanek On April 27, 2016 Principals from seven CUSD elementary schools made a presentation to the Board for a three year blue print to "re-image" their schools. As part of "Moving Capo Forward", these schools are going through an educational makeover designed to attract students to schools with declining enrollment and prevent the District from having to close schools by providing each school with a new educational focus.
Presentations: December 14, 2016 Kinoshita, Marblehead January 25, 2017 RH Dana, Hidden Hills, Lobo February 22, 2017 Del Obispo, Wood Canyon The District has spent just under $100,000 with Album Agency for branding - new logos- brochures -web site social media. The District has spent $269,500 with Discovery Education for Professional Development. The District has spent $7,000 with Energy Bus for Professional Development. The District will need to spend additional funds for furniture and equipment for the 11 FabLabs.
