The process includes examining the effectiveness of current improvement strategies, student achievement data with input from parents, community, advisory committees and staff members. Goals in subject areas are written with actions described to fulfill each goal.

With the adoption of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) which includes requirements to serve Limited English Proficient (LEP), Educationally Disadvantaged Youth (EDY), and foster youth, NUSD has determined to align LCFF expenditures of school site allocations through use of the site’s SPSA.

Within the SPSA's targeted goals, actions and expenditures developed by school staff and School Site Council (SSC) are in alignment with district goals, Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals and the Local Education Agency (LEA) plan. All plans have been reviewed and approved by SSC's as well as presented to site English Learner Advisory Committee's (ELAC)/English Learner representatives.

Speaker:
Javetta Cleveland, Deputy Superintendent
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Interim Superintendent Recommends Approval Javetta Cleveland, Deputy Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve Resolution No. 18-26, Adopting Accounting of Annual and Five Year Developer Fee Reports.
Rationale:
Government Code 66006 requires that an annual report of income and expenditures from developer fees and the beginning and ending fund balances in the Capital Facilities Fund be made available to the public within 180 days, after the end of each fiscal year.

Government Code 66001 requires a five year report if there are any funds remaining in the Fund at the end of the prior fiscal year. The five year report identifies the project to which the fees are to be applied and identifies all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing on incomplete improvements.

The District historically has combined these two reports and has completed them annually.

Resolution No. 18-26 adopts the accounting of this combined report.

XV.i. Approve Quarterly Update to Pre-Qualified Bidder List
Speaker:
Javetta Cleveland, Deputy Superintendent
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Interim Superintendent Recommends Approval Javetta Cleveland, Deputy Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve the quarterly update to the pre-qualified bidder list.
Rationale:
History: 1) California Assembly Bill 1565 (AB 1565) states that if the governing board of the district uses funds received pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 for contracts totaling $1,000,000, that the governing board of the district shall require perspective bidders to complete and submit, to the board of the district, a standardized pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. This pre-qualification questionnaire must meet the minimum requirements set forth by the Department of Industrial Relations for pre-qualification. 2) Administrative Regulation AR 3311 and Public Contract Code state that the district may establish a procedure for prequalifying bidders on a quarterly basis and may authorize that pre-qualification be considered valid for up to one calendar year following the date of the initial pre-qualification. Through an online application process, interested bidders have submitted their pre-qualification applications for consideration. Applications have been reviewed by staff, and the attached pool of pre-qualified bidders is recommended for approval. Once eligible bidders have been notified of their approval by NUSD, their approval can be renewed annually via the same online process. The pre-qualification process remains open throughout the year and eligible bidders seeking to be added to the pool will be presented to the Board for approval on a quarterly basis.
