Background:

The Greenhouse Project is a collaborative partnership opportunity between Rising Sun and Patterson High School, with the purpose of building an attached greenhouse on the west side of Rising Sun School.  This greenhouse would provide an on-site pre-vocational work opportunity for self-contained SSD students.  The funding source for this project is LCFF (that was budget for last Spring) which is the district's match portion of a grant.

Issue:

The timeline of this project would be established in collaboration with Ag-Con facilities. It would be our goal to have the green house functioning sometime in the 2015/2016 school year.  At this time we are asking the Board for approval to accept the Bid and allow the District to move forward on the project.

Background:

Issue:

The TA is the result of the collective bargaining process that began on April 01, 2015. On September 03, 2015, the District and PAT reached a TA.
