Box 5369 Santa Maria, California 93456-5369 Hon. Joni Gray, Chair Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors County Administration Building 105 East Anapamu Street Santa Barbara, California 93101 Dear Judge Garcia and Supervisor Gray: This is the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District’s response to the Grand Jury’s request for responses to its report, “Local Government Post Employment Benefits in Santa Barbara County – Complicated and Costly.” This response (see attachment) has been approved by the governing board of the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District as part of its regularly scheduled board meeting on September 13, 2011. As such, this letter is signed by the Superintendent and the President of the Board as representatives of the local agency. Additionally, a CD-ROM with this letter in PDF format is attached, as requested by the Grand Jury. Sincerely, Paul Turnbull, Ph.D. Superintendent Christine Burtness President, Board of Education 55 Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District Response to Grand Jury Findings and Recommendations: “Local Government Post Employment Benefits in Santa Barbara County – Complicated and Costly” Recommendation 1 That, no later than January 1, 2012, all local government agencies that belong to multipleemployer pension pools obtain, and for each year thereafter, make publicly available estimates of their individual unfunded actuarial liability from an actuary or the plan sponsor. Response a. The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District is unable to implement Recommendation 1 since this information is unavailable to us and outside the scope of our agency’s capacity. b. The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District belongs to the CalSTRS and CalPERS statewide pools. Employer contribution rates are determined by statute in the case of CalSTRS and by the CalPERS Board for CalPERS. Both CalSTRS and CalPERS define the same employer contribution rate for all California public schools within the pool. c. The unfunded liability of the state schools pool impacts the employer contribution rate. The unfunded liability is reported annually in the CalSTRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and the CalPERS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Recommendation 3 That, no later than January 1, 2012, in the best interest of ratepayers and taxpayers, each government agency that has compensated absences liabilities, adopt an implementation plan to reduce each agency’s compensated absences liability. Response a. The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District agrees with this recommendation. b. By December 31, 2011, the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District Board of Education will review a Board Policy/Administrative Regulation, with the goal of implementing the policy and phasing in a plan of reducing the agency’s compensated absences liability, by capping vacation or compensatory time carryover to a small amount per year, within the limits of the agency’s collective bargaining process. 2 56 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING between NIELS BROCK COPENHAGEN BUSINESS COLLEGE and SANTA YNEZ VALLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 1.

Extension of Agreement This agreement may be extended for additional three (3) year terms by mutual agreement of the parties. Extensions shall be executed in writing. 5. Student Recruitment College will recruit students for the program, and the students will be pre-selected by College before being enrolled in the program. In the pre-selection, College will place great emphasis on student motivation and maturity. College students will meet all requirements in District Administrative Regulation 5111.2 (Annex/Appendix 3) prior to enrolling in the District educational program. 57 6. Educational Program The parties will arrange a tailor-made high-school program in accordance with current Danish study-plan rules and regulations (Annex/Appendix 1). The District is responsible for the provision of the core educational program represented by the “Course Contents” in this section, and shall not take part in the organization or oversight of the home stay program for visiting College students. The training courses will begin in alignment with the District academic calendar, which will begin in the fourth week of August, 2012. The actual duration of the courses will be 5 months. Courses will end not later than the end of December. District and College will jointly decide on the number of students per year in the middle of May every year. District will provide the necessary certificated staffing with qualifications that include Master’s degrees, in addition to providing teaching facilities including premises, equipment, and instructional supplies according to international standard. College will provide curriculum/study plans; know-how of teaching; books and other materials required for the courses; and will carry out and pay for advertising, and student orientation in Denmark. Course Contents The subjects taught at the tailor-made high-school program, as adopted by the District Board of Education elective courses of study based upon 14 weeks, will be the following: English: Marketing: Business Economy: Mathematics: 63 lessons and 16 student time 25 lessons and 10 student time 37 lessons and 10 student time 37 lessons and 20 student time Introduction subjects: Social Political Area: 37 lessons and 5 student time Business Economic Area: 37 lessons and 4 student time Culture Linguistic Area: 63 lessons and 6 student time Information Technology: 32 lessons and no student time Health: 19 lessons and no student time Linguistic understanding: 37 lessons and no student time Collective and Social activities: 1 lesson per week and no student time District will offer lessons in blocks of 100 minutes (covering 2 College lessons in each District period of instruction). 58 Student time is an expression of the time an average student at that level need to perform a specific in-class and/or homework task.

There are, however, certain expectations of students when we accept them into our program. These expectations include important obligations on the part of each student accepted to study at our school, and we set a high standard in requiring all students to meet their obligations. Each student and the guardian or the parent of each student who is accepted into our program must read the following statement and must, by signing it, agree to be bound by and to honor its terms strictly. 1. Law, Rules, and Regulations a) I understand that I will not be accepted into the District Program without proper and accurate documentation as a non-immigrant F-1 Visa student, including allowable dates of study. If, for any reason, my Visa is revoked by U.S. authorities, I also understand that I will be withdrawn from the District Program. b) I agree to abide by all the laws of the United States, California, and my home country, and the rules, regulations, and polices of the school and the District (as described in the District Student Handbook). c) I agree not to purchase, use, or have in my possession, which includes my home stay premises, school property, or vehicle, any drugs not prescribed for me by a doctor. d) I agree not to purchase, use, or have in my possession, which includes my home stay premises, school property, or vehicle, any alcoholic beverages. e) I agree not to purchase, use, or have in my possession, which includes my home stay premises, school property, or vehicle, any weapons including firearms, air-guns, knives, or martial arts implements. f) I agree to respect the property of others and understand that any theft is a breach of the law. g) I agree not to engage in fighting, bullying, racial taunting or similar activity. h) I agree that I will not drive any motor vehicles other than my own and then only if I have a valid California drivers license and appropriate motor vehicle insurance, and only with notarized parental permission.

Home Stay Policy I understand that the District is not responsible for the organization or oversight of the home stay program associated with the educational program. While the District does not oversee the home stay program, the District believes that student safety is paramount to the District, and further believes that parents and students must respect and adhere to the established Education Code rules and regulations while on the way to, and from, school or school-related activities. I understand that violation of these rules and regulations will result in removal from the Program. I further understand that international students who are associated with the Program will only be accepted if the following conditions are satisfied: Proof of F-1 Visa status for the current academic school year Documentation by a home stay parent or guardian (of 25 years of age or older) verifying a District-approved residential address, showing that the parent or guardian resides full-time within District boundaries, and verifying that the home stay parent or guardian will provide care and custodianship for the international student. A home stay parent or guardian must not leave the Santa Ynez Valley for prolonged periods of time while the international student is enrolled in the District Program. If the parent or guardian must leave for an extended period of time, he or she is required to make the necessary home stay arrangements to cover for his or her absence, and notify the District of these changes. Notification includes the provision of new emergency contact information for an approved guardian. Removal from the Program If an international student is not living in a home stay as documented, the District may immediately dismiss the international student from the Program, withholding any refund. If the home stay parent or guardian must leave the District boundaries, or can no longer care for the international student while he or she is enrolled in the Program, the student must provide documentation of a new home stay arrangement prior to the discontinuance of the original home stay agreement. If the international student is unable to be provided with a new, and acceptable, home stay placement he or she will be required to withdraw from the District Program and may not receive a refund of any kind. I understand these rules and parameters of the District’s involvement in the home stay program, and agree to abide by the rules as stated above. ______________________________ Student Signature _________________________________ Parent Signature Date: ____________ Date: ___________ 68 3.

These fees are deposited to the Capital Facilities Fund # 25. The State Allocation Board in January 2012 is set to adjust the maximum statutory school fee (“School Fee”) permitted to be imposed by school districts on new residential and commercial/industrial development. In order to impose the adjusted fees, Section 66000 of the Government Code requires it to document (i) and need for the revenues to be generated by the School Fee and (ii) a nexus, or reasonable relationship, between the amount of the School Fee is being imposed. To meet these conditions, a school district is required to prepare Residential and Commercial/Industrial Development School Fee Justification Studies (“Justification Studies”) prior to charging a higher School Fee. These studies also justify the district continuing to collect these fees. Dolinka Group, LLC has prepared previous Justification Studies for Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District. Dolinka Group is offering two options for term agreements: a one-year agreement for preparation of the 2012 Justification Studies only, with no price increase over the previous agreement for the 2010 Justification Studies at $7,500 (plus reasonable expenses) or a multi-year agreement, covering the Justification Studies in 2012, 2014, and 2016, with a 10% discount in contract cost at $6,750 (plus reasonable expenses) for each of the three Justification Studies. All of these fees are payable from the Capital Facilities Fund # 25. Alternatives: 1. Approve a one-year contract with Dolinka Group, LLC 2. Approve a multi-year agreement with Dolinka Group, LLC Fiscal Impact: $7,500 for a one year contract or $6,750 for a multi-year agreement Funding Source: Capital Facilities Fund # 25 Recommendation (For Action/Consent items only) Option 2, approve a multi-year agreement with Dolinka Group, LLC.

The State of California, Department of Education, Food and Nutrition Management administers these reviews for the United States Department of Agriculture. Although there are eight criteria of compliance in the review, Performance Standard I, meal counting and claiming, and Performance Standard II, serving reimbursable meals, are the critical areas that are reviewed. The other areas that are reviewed are meal patterns and nutrient standards, reporting and record keeping, USDA donated foods, competitive foods, foods of minimal nutritional value, Wellness policy and financial management. These standards have set requirements for compliance in order to receive the federal reimbursement funds that are administrated by the USDA/State of California. Inadequacies in these areas may result in fiscal action to the sponsor. Summary of CRE Findings: The state conducted their CRE review and the district was instructed to address each area out of compliance. The district has sent a reply to the state and is in the process of addressing and fixing a few areas that are listed below. In performance standard I, Certification and Benefit Issuance, the district has been instructed to correct roster errors and submit correct copies, with new written procedures. This information has been submitted to the state and they have accepted our new procedures. The state is requiring assurances that nutrient analysis is done for the menus to ensure that the students are receiving adequate nutrition. We have begun the process of inputting all the recipes and analyzing the menus to meet the federal and state requirements. The district was instructed to provide assurances that all food sold on campus meets or exceeds the nutritional values. During the audit, sales of food of minimal nutritional value were being conducted on campus and the district was instructed to provide a copy of all items being sold. Through the audit, the state found evidence of non-compliance and the district must submit a copy of nutritional analysis for each a la carte item sold by September 30, 2011. Competitive foods can’t be sold on campus during the school day and the district was instructed to ensure that only the nutritional foods are being sold. The CRE auditor conducted a nutritional analysis of the items Lindberg vending was selling and they determined that most of the foods items were of minimal nutritional value and were in direct competition to the national school lunch program, which is prohibited under federal and state regulations. The district was instructed to only allow competitive foods to be sold ½ hour before school and ½ hour after school is out and to ensure that no item sold is in direct competition. For example, if the cafeteria sells a type of beverage(s), regardless of a difference in brand, the vendor can only sell the same particular beverage(s) ½ hour before school or ½ hour after school is out. The 2004 reauthorization act requires schools to have a wellness policy in place that can measure and monitor the whole student, which includes physical activity, nutritional guidelines and nutritional education. The district is in the process of building a community wellness council and we hope to have a functioning council by January 1, 2012. 118 SANTA YNEZ VALLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Respectfully submitted, Paul Turnbull Superintendent Prepared by: Harold Litwiler Attachment(s)?

The Academic Performance Index (API) is a growth model that shows the relative academic improvements among several subgroups within a school’s population. The API is based on a 1,000 point scale, with 800 set as the target for schools to consider themselves as high achieving. The Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) is a sanction-based model operating under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) model, enacted in 2001. Under NCLB, all schools must have each subgroup in their student populations reach 100% proficiency in core academic subjects by 2014. Any school or district that does not meet the proficiency targets for 2 consecutive years enters “Program Improvement” (PI). Under the state model, SYVUHSD is in the top 10% of high schools. Under the federal model, SYVUHSD is now considered underperforming. The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District will enter PI in the 2011-12 school year because EL and low socio-economic students did not meet the NCLB requirements for 2 consecutive years. The attached presentation shows a history of our overall student achievement in core subjects, including the improving trends in key areas. While student achievement is improving overall, the district and school staff is not satisfied with the large achievement gap between our highest and lowest performing students. Plan The SYVUHSD staff believes that refinements to the academic program can be made in order to continue closing the achievement gap. As part of the PI process, staff will continue to implement the already-adopted strategic plan for student achievement, in addition to making some refinements to the academic program with the help of the SBCEO. Staff will explain the ramifications of entering PI at a later board meeting, with the assistance of SBCEO staff. Respectfully submitted, Superintendent Prepared by: Paul Turnbull Attachment(s)?

Other local district board meetings: Ballard School District 6:00 pm, Buellton Union School District 7:00 pm, College School District 6:00 pm, Los Olivos School District 5:00 pm, and Vista del Mar Union School District 6:15 pm A survey conducted prior to the change from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in March 2011 revealed that approximately two-thirds of the district staff wished to keep the board meetings at 4:00 pm. Approximately the same percent of staff believed that fewer students and parents would attend board meetings for award presentations if the meet time was after 4:00 pm. Alternatives for future action: 1. Return to the 4:00 pm start time. 2. Remain at the current 5:30 pm start time. Respectfully submitted, Superintendent Prepared by: Paul Turnbull Attachment(s)?
