The Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services will recommend that the Board change the name of the Common Core State Standards Update that occurs as a regular item.  The proposed name would be Instructional Services Update. 

The name change is being recommended because we are moving from implementation of Common Core to the practice.  Under the new title broad topics could include: assessment, curriculum, best-practices including updates on the Professional Learning Community process, Instructional Technology, Professional Development, etc. 

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

The Governing Board will review the following Board Policy, Administrative Regulation and Exhibit as presented for a first reading no action required:

1.  BP/AR/E 6163.4   Student Use Of Technology          

Donations in excess of $300.00 are accepted by the Board at a public meeting.  Letters of acknowledgment and appreciation are sent to all donors, regardless of the monetary value of the donation.

• $406.40 donated by Silicon Valley Education Foundation to Marshall Lane Elementary to be used for bus transportation for 1st grade field trip to SJ Museum of Art.
• $300.00 donated by Target Take Charge of Education to Marshall Lane Elementary to be used for supplies.
• $300.00 donated by Target Take Charge of Education to Castlemont Elementary to be used for supplies.
• $360.48 donated by Savemart to Sherman Oaks Elementary to be used for field trips.

The LEA Plan must be approved yearly with an updated Goal 2.  Goal 2 must be written yearly to receive Title III funding.  The LCAPs in the district represent the educational goals, actions, services, and expenditures.  Goal 2 of the LEA Plan explains what Campbell Union School District is doing for all students that will also support English Learners, but goes into more detail in sections B and E on how the supplemental funding will be spent.

Using guidelines from the state and consultation from the Santa Clara County Office of Education Director of Title III and a Coordinator of Title III, Campbell Union School District has determined programs and activities to support English Learners in 2016-2017 in Goal 2 of the LEA Plan.

Due to reduction in funding and programmatic changes at Rosemary Elementary School, elimination of one support position is necessary.

Due to the need to have additional support for students discipline and evaluation of temporary and probationary staff members, the classified positions at Campbell Middle School are being replaced with a certificated position to better support the needs of the school. Therefore, elimination of two classified positions is necessary.

This action will result in a reduction to the following classified positions:

Position                                                                                                                                          F.T.E

Campus Safety Assistant                                                                                                               .375

Campus Safety Assistant                                                                                                               .750

Campus Safety Assistant                                                                                                               1.00          

The resolution complies with the requirements of Education Code 45117 (b) to notice employees 60 days prior to the effective date of their layoff.

Education Code 45117, Sections (a) and (b), provide for the elimination of positions when "lack of work" or "lack of funds" exists.                    

The District plans to remove and replace aging synthetic turf at Marshall Lane and Castlemont's kindergarten playground areas.

Approval of this waiver will allow the listed retirees to substitute in the district without waiting the required 180 days after retirement.

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 English Language Arts (ELA) criterion #2 for reclassification has been updated to match the Campbell Assessment Calendar for 2016-2017. Using guidelines from the state and consultation with the Santa Clara County Office of Education, Campbell Union School District has determined the local ELA criterion.  As we learn more about assessments in the adopted curricula we will be able to continue to identify the best assessments in future years for this criterion.

As per Education Code Section 35120(c), “A member may be paid for any meeting when absent if the Board by Resolution duly adopted and included in its minutes finds that at the time of the meeting he or she is performing services outside the meeting for the school district or districts, he or she was ill or on jury duty, or the absence was due to a hardship deemed acceptable by the Board.”  

Meetings may be scheduled, rescheduled and/or cancelled as required to conduct District business.
