_________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Instruction Enclosures _________________________________________________________________________ CATEGORY: Business Item/s Reason for Board Consideration: Action/Information Date: May 17, 2021 _________________________________________________________________________ 1. APPROVE REVISED HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC COURSE OUTLINE – CHORUS VOICE

3-8 Approve the revised Music course outline for all LBUSD high schools, entitled Chorus Voice 3-8. The revised course outline reflects the Linked Learning guiding principles and the LBUSD Strategic Plan’s goals and objectives. Chorus Voice 3-8 is a course for the study and performance of standard choral repertory selected from many periods and styles arranged for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. The course is proposed for high school fine arts elective credit. Additionally, this course has been submitted to UC for ‘f’ approval. 2. APPROVE THE 2021-22 SPECIAL EDUCATION LOCAL PLAN Approve the submission of the Long Beach Unified School District's Special Education Local Plan, which includes the governance structure, the Annual Service Plan, and the Special Education Annual Budget Plan, according to California Education Code, Section 56205 (b)(1) and (2). The service plan and budget plan are a yearly requirement for the California Department of Education. This submission is for the 2021-22 school year. The Annual Service Plan describes the full continuum of options/services offered to all students with disabilities from birth to age 22. The plan demonstrates that all individuals with exceptional needs have access to services and instruction appropriate to meet their needs as specified in their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The Annual Budget Plan identifies expected expenditures for all items required, including, but not limited to, the following:

Funds received in accordance with Chapter 7.2 Administrative costs Services to pupils with severe disabilities and low-incident disabilities Services to students with non-severe disabilities Supplemental aides and services to meet the individual needs of pupils placed in regular

classrooms and environments Regionalized operations and services Direct instructional support by program specialists in accordance with Article 6

The governance section of the Local Plan highlights the District Governance Structure for Special Education, how funds are received and allocated, and the responsibility of service provisions in the Long Beach Unified School District. This is required once every three years.

2

These plans may be revised during the fiscal year according to the district's Special Education Local Plan and the District's policy making process. Both plans, as well as a list of locations where services are provided, are available for review in the Office of School Support Services.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE

LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

SUPPORTING CLASSIFIED SCHOOL EMPLOYEE WEEK

WHEREAS, an informed, educated citizenry is the foundation for the success of our

democracy, our economy and America’s future, and

WHEREAS, classified employees, often operating largely in the background and out of

the limelight, provide essential support and contribute immeasurably to quality educational

programs for our children, youth and adults, touching the lives of so many individuals with a

profound and lasting effect, and

WHEREAS, dedicated classified employees display a deep commitment to our public

schools, helping to create an environment conducive to excellence and equity for thousands of

students, and

WHEREAS, the Long Beach Unified School District is recognized as a leading school

system, thanks in large part to classified employees, whose perseverance amid the

unprecedented challenges of the global coronavirus pandemic has especially been

appreciated by everyone in our school communities.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Education of the Long Beach

Unified School District hereby proclaims May 17-21 as Classified School Employee Week and

urges everyone to express their deep gratitude to all classified employees for their vital services

to the students of the Long Beach Unified School District.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands this 17th day of May, 2021.

SUBJECT: Stephens and Hudson Schools Enclosures: One Boundary Adjustment Recommendation

CATEGORY: New Business Item Reason for Board

Consideration: ____ Action______

Date: May 17, 2021 BACKGROUND: At the Board of Education Meeting on December 15, 2020, the Board approved the consolidation of Hudson K-8 School and Gompers K-8 School to K-5 only (elementary) campuses effective at the start of the 2021-22 school-year. The Board considered an analysis of data and information related to K-8 Schools including historical data, enrollment patterns, long-term trends in student achievement as well as both the cost and educational implications associated with the K-8 school model. Facilities staff has since performed an assessment to develop an appropriate boundary adjustment recommendation. Gompers K-8 did not have a formal middle school boundary therefore a boundary adjustment is not necessary for the school. Currently there are 138 middle school students in the Hudson area, of which 116 attend Hudson. There are currently a total of 221 middle school students attending Hudson from all attendance areas. Enrollment at Stephens Middle School has dropped significantly due to district wide declining enrollment, students participating in school of choice and having two K-8 schools in the vicinity (Hudson and Muir.) There are currently 76 Stephens attendance area students attending Hudson. When added to the current 116 Hudson area students, it brings a total of 192 students currently attending Hudson that would be moved to Stephens beginning in the 2021-22 school year. The following adjustments are being recommended: Approve the boundary adjustment detailed below and shown on Exhibit A. The area would be added to the Stephens Middle School attendance boundary and the Hudson Middle School attendance boundary will be dissolved.

• The proposed area would include the entire (current) Hudson Middle School attendance boundary.

• From the western City of Long Beach boundary at Willow St. East on Willow to Santa Fe Av. South on Santa Fe to Pacific Coast Hwy. East on Pacific Coast Hwy to the Los Angeles River. South along the Los Angeles River to the extension of Pier G Av Southbound, further extended through the ocean to the breakwater. West along the breakwater to the City of Long Beach boundary. North along the City of Long Beach boundary to Willow St.

The boundary changes, if approved, would be effective at the start of the 2021-22 school year.

CATEGORY: New Business Reason for Board Consideration: ____Action__

Business Department Date: May 17, 2021 ___________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND:

The District must comply with various accounting standards, including those from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). GASB Statement No. 84 gives new guidance regarding the recording of fiduciary activities effective for the current fiscal year. The District’s Associated Student Bodies have funds that are governed by GASB Statement No. 84. Associated Student Body funds are now to be reported as a component of the District’s finances through Fund 95, if the District has discretion in the use of the funds, or newly established Fund 08 – Student Activity Fund, a special revenue fund, if the District performs an advisory (non-fiduciary) role only.

The District has determined that the proper accounting treatment for its Associated Student Body funds is to open the Student Activity Fund, Fund 08. The related resolution gives authority to open this fund.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 051721-C Enclosures: ___One Designating Chief Communications And Community Engagement Officer as Senior Management of the Classified Service

____________________________________________________________________________

CATEGORY: New Business Reason for Board Consideration: ____Action__

Business Department Date: May 17, 2021

_______________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND:

In November 2020 the Board of Education approved the engagement of the National School Public Relations Association to conduct an audit of the District’s communications efforts. The completed audit report was presented to the Board of Education on April 28, 2021. One of the audit’s key recommendations was to restructure the communications functions to be placed under one unified and cohesive communications and community engagement department. The audit indicated that “to manage the complex communication challenges and opportunities facing large urban systems today, [the District should] consider creating a chief communications and community engagement officer position that serves on the executive staff and provides ongoing, high-level strategic communication counsel to the superintendent and executive leadership team.”

The Personnel Commission approved the establishment of the position of Chief Communications and Community Engagement Officer at its meeting on May 6, 2021.

California Education Code Sections 45100.5 and 45256.5 provide that the Governing Board of a school district may adopt a resolution designating certain positions as senior management of the classified service. A senior management designation affords the District more flexibility in selection of a candidate in that it must be filled from an unranked list of eligible candidates who have demonstrated managerial ability and have been found qualified. In addition, an individual in a senior management position, although part of the classified service and afforded all rights of other classified employees, shall be exempt from all provisions relating to obtaining permanent status in the position. It is recommended that the new position of Chief Communications and Community Engagement Officer be designated as senior management. Once a candidate for this position has been selected, an employment contract will be brought forth for Board approval.
