The Summer Academy took place at Lynhaven Elementary School for grades 1-5 from June 20-July 15^th. The Summer Academy served students who were performing up to two grade levels below in Math and English Language Arts. Also at Lynhaven this summer were two Elevate Math classes. These are done in partnership with the Silicon Valley Education Foundation.

The Extensions department ran a variety of summer programs from June 13^th-August 17th at Forest Hill, Lynhaven, Monroe Middle School, and Campbell Middle School. The programs included Adventures in STREAM, CampbellCare Summer Camp, The Crew, Summer Learning Express, Tech Camp and a summer musical production. These programs provided families with a combination of fee-based and subsidized options. 

The Superintendent will update the Board on the District’s Strategic Plan. This is a regularly appearing item.

The Deputy Superintendent of Administrative Services and staff from the Construction Department and the Facilities and Grounds Department will provide an update on the Energy Efficiency Program.

In accordance with Public Code section 20118.3, the Board can authorize the purchase of supplementary textbooks needed for the operation of the schools without advertising for bids. We will be continuing the use of the Eureka Math Curriculum for the 2016-2017 school year.  We continue to use FedEx this year to keep costs down and to accommodate customization of the math workbooks to better meet the needs of the teachers and students.  Using a local printer saves us money as there are no shipping charges and they can provide a faster turn around time for materials. FedEx worked with us to make the workbooks different for each grade level based on input from teachers.

The sixth grade students from Campbell Middle School, Monroe Middle School and Rolling Hills Middle School are requesting Governing Board approval to attend Walden West Science Camp.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

There are four required criteria identified by the California State Department of Education that must be used for reclassification of English Learners to Fluent English Proficiency.  They are:

1. Assessment of language proficiency, using an objective instrument (CELDT)
2. Comparison of student performance in basic skills against an empirically established range of performance in basic skills based on the performance of English proficient students of the same age
3. Teacher evaluation/recommendation
4. Parent consultation

Campbell Union School District’s reclassification criteria have been updated.  After consulting with our reviewer for Federal Program Monitoring for English Learners, the criteria for the Comparison in Basic Skills and Teacher Recommendation have been updated to meet the state requirements and to support our English Learners.

The State of California has entered into an agreement with U.S. Bank for purchase card (CAL-Card) services. The agreement provides eligible participating agencies with VISA purchase card services for the acquisition of goods and services. The District is in need of two cards for the Extensions and Child Nutritional Services departments which will primarily be used to purchase food items from Costco. U.S. Bank requires an authorized signer on the program.
