 Develop a plan to address A-G Completion by April 1, 2022; discuss and adopt (two separate meetings)

By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.  

Since the board meeting falls after the Feb. 1st deadline, SARC’s have been posted pending board approval.

The SARC reports for the schools within Patterson Joint Unified School District are attached for approval:

Apricot Valley Elementary

Creekside Middle School

Del Puerto High School

Grayson Elementary

Las Palmas Elementary

Northmead Elementary

Patterson High School

Walnut Grove K-8 School

Open Valley Independent Study

California’s 2021–22 Budget Act, the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and other state and federal relief acts have provided local educational agencies (LEAs) with a significant increase in funding to support students, teachers, staff, and their communities in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and to address the impacts of distance learning on students. The following is a one-time mid-year report to the local governing board or body and educational partners related to engagement on, and implementation of, these Acts.

Background:

Board Policy (BP 3300) state that the Board of Trustees shall ratify contracts as specified in Education Code 17605, which authorizes the Superintendent, or authorized designee, to sign contracts, followed by ratification by the Board of Trustees.  Education Code Section 17605 further states that the ratification of contracts must be done within 60 days after contract approval.  In addition, the contracts being ratified are under the threshold amounts specified by Public Contract Code 20111.

The Assistant Superintendent/Superintendent have reviewed and approved each of these contracts.

Background:

As mandated by Ed Code, the District will have Board approval prior to implementing any Interfund Transfers.  These transfers are necessary to change appropriate accounts/programs.  Many fo these are incorrect coding and/or due to shortage of funds.

Issue:

Transfer expenditure between the following accounts: See attached backup documentation.

BACKGROUND:

This proposal/agreement between Jack Schreder & Associates, Inc. and Patterson Joint Unified School District is to determine the eligibility of the District to impose developer fees in excess of the statutory developer fee.  The study will be documented to provide the District with the justification necessary to levy developer fees as authorized by Government Code Section 65995.  The report will comply with any new legislative requirements to date, including SB 50 requirements.

Issue: 

The project that Jack Schreder & Associates, Inc. is proposing will be comprised of four separate components.  Compliance with Components A and B must be determined before proceeding with Components C and D (see attached for details).

Background: Patterson Joint Unified School District (“District”) has received and expended statutory and/or alternative school facilities fees (“Reportable Fees”) for the construction and/or modernization of the District’s school facilities in order to accommodate students from new development (“School Facilities”).  Pursuant to Government Code Section 66006(a), the District is required to deposit the Reportable Fees collected into a separate capital facilities account (“Reportable Fees Account”).

Issue:   Pursuant to Government Code Section 66006(b), the District is required to make a report available within one hundred eighty days (180) after the last day of each fiscal year detailing certain required information (information not available at time)

(B)       The amount of the Reportable Fees.

(C)       The beginning and ending balance of the account.

(D)       The amount of the Reportable Fees collected and the interest earned.

(E)       An identification of each project (“Project”) of the District on which Reportable Fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each Project, including the total percentage of the cost of the Project that was funded with Reportable Fees.

(F)       An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of a Project will commence if the District determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete Project, as identified in Section 66001(a)(2), and the Project remains incomplete.

(G)       A description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account, including the Project on which the transferred or loaned Reportable Fees will be expended, and, in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid, and the rate of interest that the account will receive on the loan.

(H)       The amount of refunds made pursuant to Section 66001(e) and any allocations pursuant to Section 66001(f).

The following information is contained in the “Five Year-Report” section of the Report:

(1)        Identification of the purpose to which the Reportable Fees are to be put.

(2)        Demonstration of a reasonable relationship between the Reportable Fees and the purpose for which they are charged.

(3)        Identification of all sources and amounts of funding anticipated completing financing of the Projects of the District.

(4)        Designation of the approximate dates on which the funding referred to in paragraph (3) is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account.

Government Code Section 66006(b)(2) requires that the Board of Trustees of the District (“Board”) review the Report at the next regularly scheduled public meeting, at least fifteen (15) days after the Report was made available to the public. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66006(b)(2), notice of the time and place of the Board meeting, where the Report would be considered for adoption (“Notice”), was mailed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting, to any interested party who filed a written request with the District for mailed notice of the meeting. Additionally, Notice was posted in the District’s regular posting locations.
