XIII.f. Approve the Third Quarterly Williams Review Report for 2015-16
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Keven MacDonald, Assistant Superintendent - School Leadership and
Support
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve the Third Quarterly Williams Review Report
for 2015-16.
Rationale:
As a result of the Williams Settlement, Education Code section 1240
requires that county offices of education visit schools in their country that
ranked in deciles 1 to 3 on the 2012 Base Academic Performance Index
(API) (Williams Schools). Education Code section (EC) 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. The results can then be made public at a regularly
scheduled and noticed meeting of each district's governing board.
A summary of the report is below:
? During the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2015-16, Sacramento County
Office of Education (SCOE) staff did not conduct any site reviews of
instructional materials or facilities.
? The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) of each of the
District's Williams schools was reviewed for accuracy as required by
EC 1240(c)(2)(I). The information contained in the schools' SARCs
was generally clear. However, with regard to the sufficiency of
textbooks and instructional materials, the SARCs were missing most
of the information required including whether the Board conducted a
public hearing to determine their sufficiency, and whether there are
sufficient textbooks and instructional materials to use in the
classroom and to take home for all students, including English
learners.
? During the third quarter, SCOE conducted no reviews of Teacher
Vacancies and Misassignments.
? The District reported no Uniform Complaint Procedures (UCP) filings
in the third quarter. The full report is attached.

XIII.f. Approve the Third Quarterly Williams Review Report for 2015-16
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Keven MacDonald, Assistant Superintendent - School Leadership and
Support
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve the Third Quarterly Williams Review Report
for 2015-16.
Rationale:
As a result of the Williams Settlement, Education Code section 1240
requires that county offices of education visit schools in their country that
ranked in deciles 1 to 3 on the 2012 Base Academic Performance Index
(API) (Williams Schools). Education Code section (EC) 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. The results can then be made public at a regularly
scheduled and noticed meeting of each district's governing board.
A summary of the report is below:
? During the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2015-16, Sacramento County
Office of Education (SCOE) staff did not conduct any site reviews of
instructional materials or facilities.
? The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) of each of the
District's Williams schools was reviewed for accuracy as required by
EC 1240(c)(2)(I). The information contained in the schools' SARCs
was generally clear. However, with regard to the sufficiency of
textbooks and instructional materials, the SARCs were missing most
of the information required including whether the Board conducted a
public hearing to determine their sufficiency, and whether there are
sufficient textbooks and instructional materials to use in the
classroom and to take home for all students, including English
learners.
? During the third quarter, SCOE conducted no reviews of Teacher
Vacancies and Misassignments.
? The District reported no Uniform Complaint Procedures (UCP) filings
in the third quarter. The full report is attached.

XV.e. Approve a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators"
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval William Young, Deputy
Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified
Educators". This item meets the requirements of Education Code
44300(a)(3)(B) and California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Rationale:
It is anticipated that we may not be able to find fully credentialed teachers
that meet our needs in a few teaching and/or service areas for the 2016-
2017 school year. We will have trained, qualified teachers, but some may
need a provisional permit to work in their specific assignment. We will be
advertising by participating in job fairs, contacting universities and colleges,
as well as posting on the Internet. To qualify for as few as one provisional
document from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the District must
have attempted all of these search efforts. In order for our teachers to be
eligible for provisional or emergency permits in certain authorizations, the
Board must adopt a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators."
The Board and the public must have the opportunity to see the number of
emergency permits the District reasonably expects to request from the
California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the reasons for such
requests. Our anticipated needs at this time are for staff serving in the
following areas:
1. English Learners - We are 100% EL-compliant per both federal and
state mandates. However, we will continue to need emergency
CLAD permits for some new hires, particularly out-of-state-trained
teachers.
2. Special Education - All Special Education positions continue to be
recognized as statewide shortage areas.
3. Mathematics and Spanish - Mathematics and Spanish positions
continue to be difficult to fill.

XV.f. Approve Quarterly Update to Pre-Qualified Bidder List
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval Mark Covington, Executive Director
- Facilities and Strategic Planning
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve the quarterly update to the pre-qualified
bidders for future facilities projects.
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 prequalification
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 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 prequalification
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.

XV.e. Approve a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators"
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval William Young, Deputy
Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified
Educators". This item meets the requirements of Education Code
44300(a)(3)(B) and California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Rationale:
It is anticipated that we may not be able to find fully credentialed teachers
that meet our needs in a few teaching and/or service areas for the 2016-
2017 school year. We will have trained, qualified teachers, but some may
need a provisional permit to work in their specific assignment. We will be
advertising by participating in job fairs, contacting universities and colleges,
as well as posting on the Internet. To qualify for as few as one provisional
document from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the District must
have attempted all of these search efforts. In order for our teachers to be
eligible for provisional or emergency permits in certain authorizations, the
Board must adopt a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators."
The Board and the public must have the opportunity to see the number of
emergency permits the District reasonably expects to request from the
California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the reasons for such
requests. Our anticipated needs at this time are for staff serving in the
following areas:
1. English Learners - We are 100% EL-compliant per both federal and
state mandates. However, we will continue to need emergency
CLAD permits for some new hires, particularly out-of-state-trained
teachers.
2. Special Education - All Special Education positions continue to be
recognized as statewide shortage areas.
3. Mathematics and Spanish - Mathematics and Spanish positions
continue to be difficult to fill.

XV.f. Approve Quarterly Update to Pre-Qualified Bidder List
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval Mark Covington, Executive Director
- Facilities and Strategic Planning
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve the quarterly update to the pre-qualified
bidders for future facilities projects.
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 prequalification
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 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 prequalification
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.
