TO: Michele Lawrence, Superintendent FROM: Lew Jones, Director of Facilities DATE: February 7, 2007SUBJECT: Approval of Extended Professional Services for Three Vendors

Concerning the Completion Time for the King Dining Commons

BACKGROUND INFORMATION The King Dining Commons is substantially behind schedule. On June 28, 2006, the Board approved increases in fees for three consultants: Baker/Vilar Architects; ITS (the Inspector of Record); and 3D/International (the project manager). At that time, the project was projected to be complete on November 30, 2006. The Board approved increases covered our costs through January 31, 2007. This new extension will cover our projected costs from February 1, 2007 through the projected final completion date of May 31, 2007.

The project manager and the inspector are paid on a defined monthly contract; the architect is paid on a time and material basis. Almost all our expenses are related to the extended duration of the project; a portion of the architect’s expenses are required to assist in correcting contractor errors.

The amount of funds needed to manage this project for the additional months and to account for the contractor’s errors is $170,000.

POLICY/CODEPublic Contract Code 10510.4 – 10510.9.

Damaged or Lost Instructional Materials

The Governing Board recognizes that instructional materials are an expensive resource and that each student is entitled to sufficient instructional materials in accordance with law. Instructional materials provided for use by students remain the property of the district. Students are responsible for returning borrowed materials in good condition, with no more wear and tear than usually results from normal use.

When materials are lost or so damaged that they are no longer usable, the student shall be immediately issued a replacement material. However, students or parents/guardians shall be responsible for reparation equal to the current replacement cost of the materials. When materials are damaged but still usable, the Superintendent or designee shall determine an appropriate charge.

If it can be demonstrated to the Superintendent or designee's satisfaction that the student has taken all reasonable precautions to safeguard instructional materials issued to him/her, the Superintendent or designee may excuse the student or parent/guardian from payment of reparation.

If reparation is not excused and not paid by the student or parent/guardian, the district may withhold the student's grades, diploma and transcripts in accordance with law, Board policy, and administrative regulation.

Comprehensive Local Plan for Special Education

The Governing Board desires to provide a free appropriate public education to all individuals with disabilities, aged 3 to 21 years, who reside in the district, including children who have been suspended or expelled or placed by the district in a nonpublic, nonsectarian school.

Students shall be referred for special education instruction and services only after the resources of the regular education program have been considered, and where appropriate, utilized.

The special education local plan area (SELPA) shall administer a local plan and administer the allocation of funds.

In order to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities and employ staff with adequate expertise for this purpose, the district participates as a member of the SELPA.

The Superintendent or designee shall extend the district's full cooperation to the SELPA. The policies and procedures of the SELPA shall be applied as policies and regulations of this district, with the exception of those that apply to complaints, unless the SELPA plan specifically authorizes the district to operate under its own policies and regulations.

TO: Michele Lawrence, SuperintendentFROM: Neil Smith, Assistant Superintendent, Educational ServicesDATE: February 7, 2007SUBJECT: Berkeley Adult School’s Annual Plan for expenditure of BSEP

School Enrichment Program funds in the 2006-07 school year

BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe Berkeley Public Schools Educational Excellence Act of 1994 (BSEP) stipulates that 16% of the annual revenues from the BSEP Measure be dedicated to the purpose of providing School Enrichment Programs in such areas as music, the arts, athletics, sciences, tutoring, student activities and after school programs. A BSEP site committee, consisting of parents, teachers, and classified staff, is established at each school to develop an Annual Plan for expenditure of the school’s allocation from this BSEP Fund.

Normally the BSEP Annual Site Plans are developed by the site committees in the spring, and presented to the Board for adoption in June. For most schools the BSEP Annual Site Plan is now developed and presented in conjunction with the Consolidated Plan for Educating the Whole Child, the Site Plan for Student Achievement.

However, Berkeley Adult School’s High School Program, which receives BSEP School Enrichment Program funds, does not receive state categorical funding, and therefore is not automatically linked to this calendar. It fell off the normal schedule this past year primarily due to an administrative supervision shortage caused by the serious illness of a key staff member. In addition, after receiving WASC accreditation in 2005, the Adult School was intensely focused on ongoing WASC action items as well as on preparation of students for the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). For these reasons, the Adult School High School Program BSEP Site Committee was not convened in the spring of 2006.

The Berkeley Adult School BSEP Site Committee, comprised of students and staff, was fully constituted in fall 2006. The Committee met several times, reviewed twelve funding proposals, and developed a plan to use these BSEP funds to support the academic and enrichment needs of the Adult School’s approximately 130 High School Program students (mainly adults, with some concurrently enrolled minors). The plan will provide computer lab and CAHSEE tutoring services, crisis counseling, field trips and guest speakers, publication of student writing, and a wide variety of instructional materials and equipment to support art, science, English/reading, math, and computer literacy. Although the Berkeley Adult School Annual Plan for 2006-2007 was developed late, it is believed that the school can effectively implement this plan during the second semester of 2006-2007.

TO: Michele Lawrence, SuperintendentFROM: Lew Jones, Director of Facilities DATE: February 7, 2007 SUBJECT: Yearly Facilities Plan Inflation and Other Program

Adjustments

BACKGROUND INFORMATIONOn December 13, 2006, the Board asked that they be provided with an overview of the changes or future impacts that have, or will modify, the facilities plan adopted in early 2000. That analysis is currently being completed. We are including in our study timing for the bond issuance, options for the pre-K’s and West Campus. We will expand that document to include detail of the accumulated major changes in capital allocations over the course of the past 6 years and the implications to the budget as a result of the delay in the transportation project.

However, there are current projects that shouldn’t be delayed while we complete the more comprehensive analysis.

Incorporated into this document is a spreadsheet showing all changes by school site. Almost all the changes in site budgets are due to inflation adjustments. The changes come from five areas:

1. An additional project at Oxford;2. Minor adjustments in projects which are complete or nearing

completion;3. Inflation adjustments;4. Interest income (including a recognition of funds from prior

years); and5. Changes to the Risk Pool budget.

In addition, now that it is clear that portions of the budget reserved for kitchen improvements will be dedicated to two sites (King and Jefferson), we have placed the budgets for these projects in the affected site rather than in the Auxiliary budget line.

The first proposed adjustment is to allocate funds to fix the heating and ventilation problems at Oxford School. The added budget needed to implement this project is estimated to be $170,000. The second adjustment is in minor changes to the work in progress budgets. This is consistent with every quarterly report, and costs in an individual project rarely change more than $2,000.

4.1-A

The third adjustment is in the amount of funds distributed to projects for inflation. The District has used the Engineering New Record (ENR) cost index as its standard. There is some evidence that this index understates inflation, and we will analyze alternate indexes in the next few months. However, we do want to adjust the budgets for inflation per the ENR index at this time. The ENR adjustment needed to account for inflation is a 7.6% increase for all projects not yet bid. We have kept the inflation reserved for future years at 4% per year.

The fourth adjustment is an increase in interest earnings. We have increased our budget assumption from 3% to 4% per year for the next two years. In addition to these new projections, there is a restatement of ending fund balances from the 2003-2006 Fiscal Years. The total restatement represents an increase of $602,000. These restatements were either audit adjustments or restatements of interest from one special fund (Fund 51) to another fund (Fund 21). This report is reflected in the District’s books.

The final adjustment is in the Risk Pool budget. This budget is a fixed percentage of all other cash flow. There are minor adjustments in the Risk Pool budget consistent with the changes in cash flow.

Distribution and production of the Yearly Facilities Plan document will reflect the analysis of the projects discussed in the first paragraph.

POLICY/CODEED Cod35186

FISCAL IMPACTNo impact to this re-adjustment. The total available balance is $3,146,802, a decrease of $48,225.

TO: Michele Lawrence, SuperintendentFROM: Neil Smith, Assistant Superintendent, Educational ServicesDATE: February 7, 2007SUBJECT: Williams Case Settlement Report

BACKGROUND INFORMATIONAs a result of the Williams Case Settlement, every district in California is publicly accountable to ensure that the following conditions are met.

1) There should be sufficient textbooks and instructional materials for all students, including English learners.

2) School facilities should be clean, safe and maintained in good repair.

3) All classes should be taught by properly credentialed teachers.

Information about these standards is posted in every classroom along with the complaint procedure to follow if there is a concern that any one of them is not being met. During the period from July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, there were no Williams complaints filed with the District in any of the areas noted above.

To: Michele Lawrence, SuperintendentFrom: Neil Smith, Assistant Superintendent, Educational ServicesDate: February 7, 2007Subject: Percentage of Students Participating in the National School Lunch

Program

BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe percentage of students receiving free and reduced price lunch for the 2006-07 school year is listed by school site on the following document. These are the official percentages used for programs throughout the district that depend on these types of statistics for funding. For the sake of comparison, the percentages for 2005-06 are also included.

The enrollment numbers listed include students enrolled in Independent Study since this is not a separate school but rather a district program. The inclusion of these students does have a slight impact on the reported percentage of students qualifying for the National School Lunch Program, as noted on the attached document.

* Students enrolled in Independent Study are included in the enrollment numbers for these sites: 2 at Malcolm X, 1 at Washington, 1 at King, 9 at Willard, and 135 at Berkeley High School. The inclusion of these students results in lower Free & Reduced percentages for these sites. Based only on the enrollment at the sites, the percentages would be 54.45% for Malcolm X, 50.98 for Washington, 33.16% for King, 54.05% for Willard and 28.67% for BHS.


TO: Michele Lawrence, SuperintendentFROM: Jim Slemp, Principal, Berkeley High SchoolDATE: February 7, 2007SUBJECT: Berkeley High School Advisory Program

BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe high school has been working for a couple of years to institute a school wide advisory program. This program is likely to have some scheduling implications and could potentially modify the high school bell schedule. In an effort to keep all stakeholders involved in this change process, Principal jim Slemp will be discussing the activities around establishing advisories and the progress thus far in an effort to solicit from the Board their opinions and support.

TO: Michele Lawrence, SuperintendentFROM: Neil Smith, Assistant Superintendent of Educational ServicesDATE: February 7, 2007SUBJECT: Monthly School Enrollment and Average Daily Attendance

Summaries

BACKGROUND INFORMATIONBased on information provided from each school site, average daily attendance (ADA) summaries and school enrollment reports are prepared on a monthly basis. This report includes students in our elementary, middle and high schools. The first page details the first, second and third months of student enrollment, ADA, percentage of attendance and unearned revenue for the months of September, October and November. The next three pages summarize the monthly enrollment, ADA, percentage of attendance and unearned ADA revenue for the 2005-06 school-year. The subsequent tables detail student enrollment, ADA, percentage of attendance by school for the month of November.

Since 1997, school districts can no longer claim any absences, including excused absences, for apportionment attendance. Hence, for the purposes of this report we have defined as an absence any student not meeting the statutory minimum instructional day requirements.

POLICY/CODEBoard Policy: 5113

ACCESS IMPLEMENTATION TEAMQUARTERLY REPORT

PROGRESS

The Implementation Team did not meet since the last report. The next Team meeting has not been scheduled.

Included in this Report is a spreadsheet detailing project expenses (Phase II) from July 1, 2006 through December 21, 2006. The projected project costs are based upon a percent of the total project estimate. The total expended for Phase II in that period is $681, with a projected expenditure for the Fiscal Year of $90,681.

The King Gymnasium project has been added to the list. Approximately half of the value of the project is devoted to improving accessibility. The three major planned accessibility improvements are the upgrade of the locker room restrooms, the upgrade of the restrooms in the gymnasium area and the improvement to lockers.

In keeping with previous reports, the expenditures listed do not exhaustively detail all accessibility improvements or expenditures. Recently completed grounds projects are not included in the spreadsheet as the costs were low per project. The BAM project, the curb appeal projects and the King tennis court project include an estimated additional $15,000 of accessibility improvements.

The District is re-surveying our sites for accessibility. Thirteen sites have been surveyed, several more are in progress.

The Governor’s 2007-08Fiscal Year Education Budget

Berkeley Unified School DistrictFebruary 7th, 2007

Eric D. Smith, Deputy Superintendent (CBO)

No Frills K-12 Budget It funds:

COLA Growth--but growth is negative on a state-wide basis

However, “left-outs” are significant Mandated costs reimbursements are turned off (again) No additional relief for declining enrollment districts Special Education COLA is bifurcated No equalization aid

Two Controversial Proposals First, the Budget proposes to shift all state support

for Home-to-School Transportation from Proposition 98 to the Public Transportation Account (PTA). This shift of $627 million would be followed by a downward re-benching of the Proposition 98 minimum guarantee.

Second, the Administration has proposed that $269 million in funding for the Stage II CalWORKs Child Care Program be paid for with Proposition 98 dollars. Historically, these expenses are funded outside of Prop 98.

4.04% Statutory COLA The Governor fully funds 2007-08 statutory COLA,

estimated to be 4.04% Exact COLA will be known in April 4.04(est.) COLA applies to revenue limits, special

education, and virtually all state categorical programs

4.04 % Revenue Limit COLA

$225All Unified Districts

$259All High School Districts

$215All Elementary Districts

Dollar Increase from 4.04% (est.) COLA

4.04% COLA Revenue Limit COLA generates roughly $1.8 M for BUSD

No Equalization Proposed The proposed 2007-08 State Budget does not include

equalization aid to level up those school agencies that are below the 90th percentile.

Approximately $100 million is the remaining amount needed to fully fund equalization.

Special Education Special education will receive COLA and growth only

on the state and local share of special education funding, not on the federal share, resulting in about 70% of full COLA and growth funding.

Special education continues to encroach on a state-wide basis.

Mandated Costs An estimated $160 million in new claims are expected

in 2007-08, but only $38,000 is appropriated. Only $30 million was appropriated for 2006-07

claims. The state’s mandate liability could climb to $290

million by the end of 2007-08 under the Governor’s proposal (i.e. $130 million for 2006-07 plus $160 million for 2007-08).

The State’s Constitution requires the State to pay interest on past due claims.

Declining Enrollment More than half of California’s students are now in

districts that are declining in enrollment

Declining enrollment districts still have option to receive revenue limit dollars based upon prior-year revenues (i.e. “prior year guarantee”)

No proposals to mitigate the effects of declining enrollment beyond the “prior year guarantee (e.g. using a three year average of P-2 ADA).
