Donations: $607,485.36

In an average year monetary donations total around $3.5 million to $4 million.

CUSDWatch Comment

Relying on Fundraising and Donations to pay for core educational programs in CUSD creates wealth based inequities that violate the civil rights of those students who attend schools that cannot afford to fundraise.

Illegal Donations include fundraising for:

Instructional Aids
Professional Development for Teachers
Release time for teachers
Leadership Conference for Staff
Science programs
Math Programs
PE Programs
Art Programs
Reading/Writing Programs
Computers

87% of CUSD's Budget goes to employee Salaries Pensions and Benefits. Employees have received 5 consecutive years of across the board compensation increases totaling over $150 million. They have been allowed to do that thanks to the generous donations of parents and taxpayers.

AGENDA ITEM #7 STATE OF CALIFORNIA CONTRACT NO. 1-18-23-23, A THROUGH H, SUPPLEMENT 2, FLEET VEHICLES, VANS AND SUVS – MULTIPLE VENDORS

Board Agenda page 187

CUSDWatch Comment

For a bankrupt school district that cannot fund core educational programs like art , music or science- this district sure spend a lot of money on fleet vehicles and transportation- millions of dollars and yet the have no bus routes and the few they do have parents pay for?

AGENDA ITEM #8 2018-2019 INTERNET ACCESS AGREEMENT NO. 45356 – ORANGE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS:

Board Agenda page 213

The District utilizes Internet services from the Orange County Superintendent of Schools (OCDE). The District has been receiving Internet access from OCDE since 2004.

OCDE passes Internet services from Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) to the District. The K12 High Speed Network pays for the services and the county passes those savings to the District. The District only pays for technical support services for the equipment that passes the network services to the District.

The agreement has been ongoing each year since 2004 with each agreement year beginning July 1.

Internet access is provided at no cost to the District.

CUSDWatch Comment

What is the K-12 High Speed Network (K12HSN)?

K12HSN is a state program funded by the California Department of Education. The California Department of Education competitively selected the Imperial County Office of Education (ICOE) as the Lead Education Agency (LEA) and manager of the K-12 High Speed Network program.

K12HSN provides the California K-12 community with:

Network Connectivity, Internet Services,
Teaching and Learning Application Coordination,
and Videoconferencing Coordination and Support.

The mission of the California K-12 High Speed Network is to enable educators, students and staff across the state to have access to reliable high speed network which has the capacity to deliver high quality online resources to support teaching and learning and promote academic achievement.

K12HSN administers K-12’s participation in the California Research and Education Network (CalREN). CalREN is the high-speed, high-bandwidth statewide network of 14 Hub Sites and circuits linking to 86 K-12 Node Sites, 11 UC Node Sites, 24 CSU Node Sites, 111 community college Node Sites, as well as 6 Node Sites serving the three participating private universities. CalREN is also linked to the national Internet2 network forming an advanced state and national “Intranet” for educational use.

Backbone services are provided by the Corporation for Education Networking Initiatives in California (CENIC).

Network and Internet services to the 86 K-12 Node Sites are extended to 79% (7,946) of schools, 87% (861) of school districts, and 100% (58) of county offices of education in California, which provide direct service to nearly 4.8 million students.

Why does funding by the State of California make good sense?

K-12 enjoys the advantage of leveraging resources in aggregate across K-12 and along with higher education in California. Absent state funding, it would be difficult and cost-prohibitive to provide the level of service to every region of California. Left to fund connectivity on their own, some California districts would be capable of obtaining service while many would not. Advances toward equal opportunity and distance learning for teachers and students would be lost or made ineffective. Critical business functions of schools would be jeopardized, along with a variety of professional development opportunities and student programs.

Schools and County Offices of Education cannot function without network services. Without a coordinated, state-funded initiative ensuring equal-access to cost-effective network services, students, teachers, and administrators throughout California will have disparate access. Providing better service for better value makes good fiscal sense for all of California.

AGENDA ITEM #9 2018-2019 NETWORK SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT NUMBER 45357 – ORANGE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Board Agenda page 219

The District utilizes free Internet Services from the Orange County Superintendent of Schools (OCDE) and pays for network technical services to keep this service running. The District has been receiving Internet access from OCDE since 2004.

The District will pay approximately $2,350 for these network access services.

CUSDWatch Comment

CUSD pays $2,350 for Annual data circuit network management.

AGENDA ITEM #10 PROCURE ELIGIBLE E-RATE ITEMS UTILIZING REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS PROCESS

Board Agenda page 227

The District uses E-Rate funds for many projects including wireless and wired infrastructure, as well as to discount our internet transportation and wide area network (WAN) costs. The District will continue to utilize the discounts whenever possible.

Public Contract Code § 20111 requires competitive bidding for public contracts involving an expenditure of more than $50,000 (adjusted annually by the California Department of Education (CDE)), including the purchase of materials or supplies to be furnished to the District. In December 2017, CDE adjusted the bid limit to be $90,200.

The federal E-Rate program pays a matching percentage of network infrastructure equipment and internet access for school districts across the country. The District qualifies for a 50 percent match, and has been given access to $154 per Average Daily Attendance to use with matching funds across a five year period.

Public Contract Code § 20118.2 states that due to the highly specialized nature of technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software and services, it is in the public’s best interest to allow a school district to consider, in addition to price, various factors. Section 20118.2(c) requires that prior to awarding contracts utilizing the competitive negotiation RFP process discussed in § 20118.2(d), the Board must make a finding that the items listed in the proposed Request for Proposal No. 2-1819, E-Rate Multiple Categories is eligible for procurement through such method. The list of proposed items in RFP No. 2-1819 E-Rate is attached. The District contract for WAN connectivity will expire in June 2019 and a new contract needs to be in place, procured through the RFP process. The District is interested in new Cisco or HP switches and wireless access points (WAPs) and the E-Rate RFP process is the most efficient process for securing the best prices with the federal matching funds.

CUSD has qualified for $7 million in Federal matching funds.

The District plans to maximize the E-Rate discount across the life of the program. The District has qualified for over $7 million dollars of matching funds. This RFP would cover expenditures in the 2019-2020 school year and beyond (based on contract length). For the 2019-2020 fiscal year, the District anticipates spending up to $2.5 million dollars on various E-Rate eligible projects.

It is recommended the Board make a finding that the items listed in RFP No. 2-1819, E-Rate are eligible under the Public Contract Code § 20118.2 to be procured utilizing a competitive negotiation request for proposal method

AGENDA ITEM #11 RESOLUTION NO. 1819-22, APPROVING THE ANNUAL AND FIVE-YEAR REPORTABLE FEES REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017-2018, IN COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE § 66006 AND § 66001

Board Agenda page 231

On February 9, 1998, the Board of Trustees adopted guidelines in Senate Bill 1693 legislation requiring school districts to justify and report the need and reasonableness of any collection and spending of developer fees for new school facilities. In compliance with

Government Code § 66006 and § 66001, findings on the type and amounts of fees are to be published in Annual and Five-Year Reports, as long as the District continues to use developer fees as a funding mechanism for new school facility projects.

The District has an annual Independent Contractor Agreement with Cooperative Strategies, LLC to assist the District in preparation of the Annual and Five-Year Reportable Fees Report for Fiscal Year 2017-2018, in compliance with Government Code § 66006 and § 66001.
