Background

The California Distinguished Schools Program sponsored by the California Department of Education recognizes outstanding education programs and practices. In 2021, the California Department of Education identified and awarded eligible schools based on performance and progress indicators that are part of the state’s accountability and continuous improvement system. These indicators include test scores, suspension rates, school conditions and climate.

There were 12 schools in 9 districts in Santa Clara County awarded California Distinguished School status. We are recognizing this outstanding accomplishment by honoring the districts and their respective schools as a part of our County Board agenda.

Student Impact

The California Distinguished Schools serves as a model for other schools to learn best practices to improve student achievement.

Background

California Education Code sections 41507 and 41572 require each school to consolidate all school plans for programs funded through the Consolidated Application and Reporting System, into the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

The School Site Councils from the three Santa Clara County Office of Education’s (SCCOE) schools, (Community Schools, Court Schools, and Special Education) revised and approved their SPSAs to include updated budget information.

Student Impact

The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), formerly known as the Single Plan for Student Achievement is completed annually by school sites accepting federal funds. Through a stakeholder engagement process including staff, students, and parents, each school site sets goals and budgets funds to support student achievement and student and parent engagement. SPSAs directly impact SCCOE students through a focus on programming, direct service to students and parents, and professional development. SPSA goals are aligned with the SCCOE LCAP goals.

Background

The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) Federal Addendum provides an overview of the SCCOE  Educational Services, Student Services & Support Division  alignment of federal funds (Title I, II, III, and IV) with of Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) goals and expenditures. The purpose of the California LCAP Federal Addendum is to address the district’s attention to: education of English Learners and homeless students, parent and family engagement, support for incarcerated, delinquent, and socially economically disadvantaged youth, and training for highly qualified staff as defined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).  The LCAP Federal Addendum is submitted annually to the California Department of Education after Local Governing Board approval.

Student Impact

The LCAP Federal Addendum content directly impacts the academic and social emotional needs of SCCOE students and families. The LCAP Addendum defines district use of federal funds and their alignment with Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) goals and funding. This alignment impacts SCCOE students through focus on: (a) rigorous, relevant, and engaging instruction, (b) a successful transition to college and/or career, and (c) a culturally responsive and safe learning environment grounded in partnership with community and family members.

Background

California Education Code (EC) Section 48926 requires county superintendents, in conjunction with superintendents of the school districts within the county, to develop a plan for providing educational services to all expelled pupils in that county. The initial plan was to be adopted by the governing board of each school district within the county and by the county board of education, and submitted to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) in 1997. EC Section 48926 also requires that each county superintendent of schools, in conjunction with district superintendents in the county, submit an update to that plan to the SSPI every 3 years.

Student Impact

SCCOE will collaborate with districts to ensure students have access to a free and appropriate public education.

Background

Due to the resignation of former Vice President King, effective June 11, 2021, the County Board shall elect a Vice President through a process that shall not involve voting by secret ballot or the mail ballot.

Administrator

Mary Ann Dewan, Ph.D., County Superintendent of Schools

Background

On June 11, 2021 the Trustee Area 2 seat was vacated when Board Member Kathleen King submitted her resignation to the County Superintendent. Given Board Member King's resignation, the Board is charged to determine how the vacancy will be filled. The procedure for filling a vacancy on the County Board of Education is established by Education Code section 1008 and 5090-5093 and the process is set forth in Board Bylaw 9223 which requires that the Board order an election or make a provisional appointment within 60 days of the vacancy. As the vacancy occurred on June 11, 2021, the Board must make a provisional appointment or order an election by August 10, 2021.

Trustee Area 2 is comprised of Cupertino Union, Lakeside Joint Union, Loma Prieta Joint Union, Los Gatos Union, Saratoga Union, and Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District and small portions of Santa Clara Unified and Sunnyvale and the corresponding portion of Fremont Union High. A portion of Trustee Area 2 is within Santa Cruz County.

Board Action

In order for the Board to discuss whether to make a provisional appointment or order an election, the item has been placed on the agenda and the discussion must be held in open session. The Board may choose to take action in one of the following ways:

Option 1:  Pursue a Provisional Appointment and Designate a Board Subcommittee to Review Applicants for Provisional Appointment

If the Board chooses to make a provisional appointment, they must advertise in the local media to solicit Board candidate applicants and nominations; form a committee consisting of less than a quorum of the Board to review eligible applicants; interview the candidates at a public meeting and select the provisional appointee by majority vote. If the Board chooses to make a provisional appointment it must do so by August 10, 2021. 

Option 2: Call for an Election to fill Vacancy

When an election is ordered, the election must be held on the next established election date not less than 130 days after the election is ordered. If the Board decides to order an election on June 16, 2021, the election date would be November 2, 2021.

The financial impact of Option 1 includes the cost of advertising in local media which is estimated to be $1,200. This estimate is based on costs for the San Jose Post Record, Bay Area News Group, and Mountain News Network.

The financial impact of Option 2 includes the cost of advertising in local media and the cost of holding an election. The estimated cost of advertising in the local media is $1,200. The estimated combined cost of a November 2, 2021 election in both Santa Clara County and Santa Cruz County is $700,000.

If the Board fails to act within the 60-day period, the County Superintendent shall order an election to fill the vacancy.

Attached is Board Bylaw 9223 and a memorandum that provides a complete description of the process, timelines, and financial implications.

Background

Education Code 1622 requires that on or before July 1 of each fiscal year, the county board of education shall adopt the annual county school services fund budget. Additionally, Education Code 1040 requires the county board of education to approve the annual county school services fund budget of the county superintendent of schools. The county board of education shall not adopt the annual county school services fund budget before the county board of education adopts a local control and accountability plan (LCAP).

Pursuant to Education Code (EC) 1620 on or before July 1 of each fiscal year, the county board of education shall hold a public hearing for the county school service fund budget. The public hearing was held on June 9, 2021, and the 2021-22 County School Service Fund Budget was presented and is attached for your reference.

Since the State budget has not been approved yet, the budget is developed based on a set of assumptions, and the most up-to-date information available from the Governor's May Revise. The State is required to adopt its budget by June 15^th and any changes not included in the May Revise would need to be updated in the adopted county school services fund budget within 45 days after the State Budget is signed. Additionally, the books for 2020-21 will not be closed until late August/early September and will also require adjustments be made to the adopted county school services budget at first interim in accordance with prescribed rules and regulations. It is expected that $26 million or more in revenue will be recorded at that time as carryover.

Budget Summary

The 2021-22 County School Service Fund is comprised of unrestricted and restricted funds. Unrestricted funding is to be used for a designated purpose and restricted funding is for a specified purpose and is subject to restrictions imposed by the grantor. Total projected revenues (including Transfer-in) are approximately $279.32M and projected expenditures (including Transfer-out) are approximately $306.78M. This includes approximately $41.53M in expenditures to be returned to the state from local “excess” property taxes. This amount may change depending upon local property tax revenues. SCCOE's projected reserve for economic uncertainty is $12.27M and meets the State mandated reserve requirement of 2%, and is able to maintain the additional 2% reserve requirement as set forth by Board Policy #3100, for 2021-22 and the two subsequent fiscal years.

Additional Information

Salaries and benefits are projected to increase in fiscal year 2021-2022 by $3.74M due to a 2% salary increase and 5% increase in SCCOE's Employer Contribution for health and welfare benefits paid on behalf of employees, which is approximately $17,458 annually per full-time employee.

SCCOE Employer Contribution Rate Increases for Employee Health and Welfare Benefits for 2019-20 through 2021-22. Effective, October 1, 2021, the SCCOE Employer contribution amount will increase approximately 5% to $1,275 per full-time employee.

Employer paid benefits also provides employees with an option to select from two different dental plans. Vision and life benefits are also provided.

Carryover estimated for 2021-22 is estimated at $26 million and the actual amount will be confirmed once the books are closed in late August/early September and will be incorporated into the adopted county school services fund budget at first interim. The largest portion of carryover funds is related to one-time capital projects that were postponed due to the pandemic and totals $18.80 million. The remainder is for Federal and State Grants related to Special Education, Technology and Data Services and SCCOE provided contract services.

Recommend Action

Adopt the 2021-2022 County School Service Fund budget.

Background

This report reflects budget revisions for the month of May 2021. If an expenditure budget is increased, it is supported either by an increase in revenue, a decrease in carryover (use of carryover), a decrease in fund balance or any combination of the three. If an expenditure budget is decreased, the result could be due to a decrease in estimated revenue, or an increase to credit it back to fund balance.

During the month of May 2021, expenditure budgets were increased by $4,862,113; revenue was increased by $4,824,613; and fund balance decreased by $37,500.

Fiscal Implications

Restricted funding in the amount of $4.68 million has been received to support the following:

• $924k Computer Science for All project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the Silicon Valley Research Practice Partnership for Computational Thinking and Positive Identity for Computer Science in Latinx girls.
• $3M California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) grant from the California Department of Education (CDE) for expanding and sustaining existing community schools, coordinating, and providing health, mental health, and pupil support services to students and families and providing training and support to local educational agency personnel.
• $763k K-12 Strong Workforce Program (SWP) grant from Cabrillo Community College District for Building Equitable Access to High Quality K14 Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathways for all students to prepare for in-demand careers.

Student Impact

Students throughout the County of Santa Clara will directly benefit from resources provided to promote academic achievement, improve access to health and mental health services, and prepare for in-demand careers.

Requested Action

Approve the Budget Revisions for the Month of May 2021.

Background

On November 6, 2012, the voters of California approved Proposition 30, which temporarily increases the state’s sales tax and the personal income tax rates for upper-income taxpayers. Part of the revenue generated would be used to support Local Educational Agency (LEA) funding, with the remainder helping to balance the state budget.

Revenues generated from Proposition 30 are deposited into a state account called the Education Protection Account (EPA). The EPA began January 1, 2012, and continues for seven years (December 31, 2018), during the time that Proposition 30 will be effective. Proposition 55 was approved on November 8, 2016, which extends the EPA account through 2030.

Current Status

The creation of the EPA by Proposition 30 also comes with some accountability components. One requirement is having the spending plan approved by the governing board during a public meeting. Another requirement is that the LEA must publish on its website (each year) an accounting of the estimated revenue it will receive from the EPA and how much will be expended. In addition, EPA funds cannot be used for the salaries or benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs.

Enclosed is the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s estimated EPA spending plan for 2021-22.

Requested Action

Adopt the 2021-22 resolution to approve the spending plan for the Education Protection Account (EPA).

Chris Izor, Director, Continuous Improvement and Accountability

Background

Pursuant to EC 52066(i), County Offices of Education (COEs) must annually develop a summary of services that describe how the COE will support its districts, in general, related to continuous improvement. The report also includes descriptions of the supports provided to districts identified to receive differentiated assistance. These summaries are compiled and publicly posted by the CDE.

The statute requires descriptions in three areas:

• Describe the supports and services provided to districts as they develop and complete the Local Control Accountability Plan
• Describe supports and services for districts identified for Differentiated Assistance
• Describe other supports being provided to districts.

The report describes the summary of services that will be provided this year by the SCCOE and its Continuous Improvement and Accountability department under the Equity and Educational Progress Division.

Fiscal Implications

Funding for these supports and services are provided by the Statewide System of Support funding retricted to this purpose.

Student Impact

Supporting districts with continuous improvement services directly impacts students and the services that are offered to them. Through the practices of data review, root cause analysis, strategic planning, and program evaluation, districts, working with input from their communities, can better plan for robust and targeted programs to meet the needs of all students and address the ways they operationalize equity.

The next Santa Clara County Board of Education regular meeting is scheduled for July 21, 2021.
