A public hearing is required for all applicant types under ESEA section 6114(c)(3)(C). The public hearing is an opportunity for parents of Indian children and teachers, representatives of Indian Tribes on Indian lands located within 50 miles of any school that the agency will serve if such Tribes have any children in such school, Indian organizations, and, if appropriate, Indian students from secondary schools to understand the program and to offer recommendations regarding the program.

(During this time the audience will have the opportunity to speak to the Board. Anyone wishing to address the Board is asked to complete a "Board Communication Request" form, available from the board secretary. The chairman reserves the right to limit the time allotted to each presenter. It is requested that those addressing the board state their name for the record.)

(Consent Calendar agenda items are designated by the Board to be adopted in a single motion unless an individual Board member or the Superintendent requests an item be removed for consideration.  Action on matters of a routine matter is addressed in one motion to conserve time for other deliberation by the Board.)                   
 

Regular personnel action requiring Board approval.

Due to program changes at schools, a layoff of personnel may be necessary. The school board will declare the need for a layoff of personnel for next school year, directing staff to do all possible to minimize the effects to our students and staff. When there is such a need, this declaration is specified in the agreement with LCEA (teachers' union) and begins other timelines/processes for both employee associations.

The current contract for transportation services with First Student, Inc is set to expire June 30, 2023.

The attached draft renewal contract through June 30, 2024 represents a 5% increase over the current year's amount.

The increase is based on contract terms stating that the annual increase will be adjusted on July 1 at the start of each new contract year based on the US Dept of Labor BLS CPI-W (US City Average for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Index) for November to November of the prior contract year. The CPI-W value for November 2021 to November 2022 was 7.12%. Per the contract, if the average change is greater than a 5% increase, then the adjustment shall not exceed 5%.

Staff recommend approval of this contract renewal amendment.

The current contract for custodial services with Sodexo America, LLC is set to expire June 30, 2023.

The attached draft renewal contract adds 2.0 FTE and represents a 6.06% increase over the current year's amount. The increase is based on contract terms stating that the annual increase will be based on the BLS CPI-W (Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Index) for November to November of the prior contract year. That CPI value was 7.12%. The contract requires that if the CPI-W is over 5%, the total increase will be 5% plus 1/2 of the additional increase.

Staff recommend approval of this renewal contract amendement.
