Carol Williams, Executive Director - School Leadership and Support
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve the Algebra I/Mathematics I Waiver for

office, or public education agency, as defined in Section 56500, may
request the board to grant a waiver of any provision of this code or
regulations adopted pursuant to that provision if the waiver is necessary or
beneficial to the content and implementation of the pupil's individualized
education program and does not abrogate any right provided individuals
with exceptional needs and their parents or guardians under the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.), or to the
compliance of a district, special education local plan area, or county office
with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et
seq.), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 794),
and federal regulations relating thereto. (b) The board may grant, in whole
or in part, any request pursuant to subdivision (a) when the facts indicate

Item VII B - Present and Approve Bond Fund Allocations for Measures D & J
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval William Young, Deputy
Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to receive a presentation and approve allocation of
funds for Bond Measures D and J.
Rationale:
On October 14, 2015 the Board approved the initial allocations for Measure
J bond funds and reallocation of Measure D Funds. As projects on both
bond lists conclude, reallocation of bond funds remaining becomes
necessary to pay for current and future projects. The following projects
completed under the current budget allocation include: STAR Academy,
Bannon Creek Two Story Building, Leroy Greene Academy Science and
Classroom Upgrades, Two Rivers Library Upgrades, and Natomas High
School CTE /Science Upgrades.
Additionally, the second issuance of Measure J was sold in January 2017,
creating the need for a realignment of Facility Master Plan projects and
allocations. By approving the Measure J allocation plan, it will provide the
authority to eliminate one existing Certificate of Participation (COP) and the
need to acquire one more COP, which are both contingent upon updated
facility use agreements with two Charter schools.
