Rationale:
As a result of the Williams Settlement Education Code section 1240 requires that county offices of education visit schools in their county that ranked in deciles 1 to 3 on the 2012 Base Academic Performance Index (API) (Williams schools). Education Code section 1240(c)(2)(G) requires the county superintendent of schools to send quarterly reports regarding the results of school site visits and reviews conducted each quarter to the governing boards of the school districts with Williams schools.1  The results can then be made public at a regularly scheduled and noticed meeting of each district's governing board.

During the quarter ending December 31, 2019, SCOE conducted no SARC reviews.

Teacher Vacancies and Misassignments

The decile 1 to 3 schools report from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing will not be available until the end of the fourth quarter of FY 2019-2020.  As such, during the second quarter, SCOE conducted no reviews of Teacher Vacancies and Misassignments.

The Board is asked to approve an agreement with United Way of the California Capitol Region.

During the summer, we will service the same sites under the Seamless Summer Feeding Option (SSFO) Summer Program. UWCCR reached out to NUSD's Nutrition Services department for this partnership due to our meal quality, service, and history of serving to the community during breaks. UWCCR has been serving CACFP and SSFO meals since 2014 with a contract with Davis Joint Unified School District. The Winter Feeding period served as a trial period for both parties. Nutrition Services was capable of providing meals and delivery. UWCCR was happy with the meal quality and service. Both parties are actively engaged with each other through the Sacramento Meals Collaborative to increase access to CACFP and SSFO meals in the greater Sacramento area.
