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.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
The Board of Education of the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District (District) wishes to provide
a challenging and exciting program to students studying in our school. 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. I understand that the District does not encourage or endorse the ownership or
operation of motor vehicles by international students. Neither the District nor the home stay
parents will be held, in any way, responsible for any accidents or liabilities arising from owning
and/or operating a motor vehicle.
I understand that infractions of any of the above rules will result in my immediate dismissal from the
International Program of the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District, without refund of any kind,
and with notification to the Embassy of Denmark of my dismissal. I also understand that a breach of any
criminal law may result in criminal charges and penalties.

2. 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.

3. Academic Life
I understand that I will be enrolled primarily in academic courses that represent the first year of the Niels
Brock Copenhagen Business College high school curriculum. As an international student, I also
understand that I am expected to strive for a minimum grade point average of 2.0, and if not, do whatever
is necessary to improve my academic performance. This may include receiving tutoring at my own
expense.
a) I agree to attend school on a regular basis and to bring a note from my parent or home stay parent
explaining any absence from school.
b) I agree to complete all homework and class assignments.
c) I agree to make a consistent and determined effort in my school work, to attempt to maintain
passing grades, and to maintain good work habits in all subjects.

at all times.
I understand that any infractions of the rules listed under this section of the agreement will be documented
and addressed by District staff and school administration. I understand that students may be dismissed
from the International Program for violation of these rules, or for not progressing academically, without
refund of any kind.

4. Refund Policy
In the event that a student does not come to California, decides not to attend, or leaves the Program for
personal reasons, only a portion of the paid tuition fee will be refunded. In all cases, the application fee
will be retained to cover administrative expenses. The following refund policy will apply for each student:


Full refund (less application fee) if the Study Permit authorization is not approved by U.S.
Immigration and supporting documentation of this rejection is supplied (student must provide

program on the first day of school.
One half (1/2) of the full tuition fee if the student withdraws within the first 30 calendar days of
the academic year.
69
No refund will be granted:

Action Agenda:
__X___
Background
The average representation of ROP classes on high school campuses in Santa Barbara County and in the
state are between 5% and 7% of the total classes available. The Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District
is fortunate to have a strong relationship with the North County ROP Office, resulting in a 35% representation
of ROP classes on our campus.
The ROP program reimburses the District for employee salary and benefit expenses. Our estimated
reimbursement from ROP will be $516,795 from a total salary/benefit cost of $649,710. This equates to
approximately 79% estimated reimbursement rate; if we factor out the assignments that are being reimbursed
100%for two teachers, the ROP reimbursement rate for all other sections averages 72%.

future issuance of general obligation bonds. The issuance of the Bonds, and the levy of such taxes, is
subject to approval at an election of the registered voters within the District (the “Election”), which
election is expected to be conducted in 2012. The Bonds are expected to be issued in one or more series,
with the first series expected to be issued within 12 months of the Election.

Underwriting Role:
Piper Jaffray will serve as the sole managing underwriter to each series of Bonds issued pursuant to the
Election. As sole managing underwriter, Piper Jaffray shall be allocated all underwriting discount and
liability for each series of Bonds issued.
Fees
Our underwriting commission will be determined at the time of the sale of each series of Bonds and shall
not exceed 1.0% of the principal amount of the Bonds issued, plus reimbursement of our reasonable outof-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of our counsel) in an amount not to exceed $3,500 per
series of Bonds (assuming our counsel is not responsible for drafting the Official Statement and
disclosure counsel includes Piper Jaffray as an addressee on its opinion) subject to a minimum
underwriting commission of not less than $35,000 per series of Bonds. The underwriting commission
assumes a tax-exempt financing rated in one of the highest two rating categories by Standard & Poor’s or
Moody’s Investors Service (whichever is rating the Bonds). The underwriting commission will be subject
to negotiation to the extent that a series of Bonds is rated lower than the highest two rating categories.
Payment of such underwriting commission and expenses shall be contingent on the closing of the
applicable series of Bonds and shall be deducted from the proceeds of the sale of such Bonds.
Expenses
The District will pay all of its direct expenses relating to the Offering, including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of the District’s counsel and auditors; fees and expenses (including those for counsel)
relating to blue sky or NASD matters; printing costs; roadshow expenses; rating agency fees; and fees and
expenses of any trustees (and their counsel) or other agents.
If the issuance of the Bonds is approved at the Election, but the District determines not to proceed with
the issuance of the Bonds, then the District agrees to reimburse Piper Jaffray, upon request, for all our
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection herewith (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of our legal counsel).
Conditions
This letter agreement is not a commitment, express or implied, on the part of Piper Jaffray to underwrite
or purchase the Bonds or to commit any capital, nor does it obligate us to enter into a Bond Purchase
Agreement. Piper Jaffray’s participation in any Offering will be subject to, among other things,
(i) satisfactory completion of all documentation for the Offering (including a disclosure document and a
3
96
Bond Purchase Agreement); (ii) satisfactory completion of a customary due diligence review; (iii) in our
determination, the absence of any material adverse change in the financial markets, in the United States or
in the financial condition, operations or prospects of the District; (iv) receipt of all required governmental
and other approvals and appropriate legal opinions, including a 10b-5 disclosure opinion from counsel
acceptable to Piper Jaffray; and (v) approval of our internal commitment committee.
Indemnification
In connection with our engagement hereunder, to the extent lawful, the District hereby indemnifies Piper
Jaffray, its affiliates, the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of Piper Jaffray and its
affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling Piper Jaffray or its affiliates, against such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (including legal expenses) arising out of or relating to such engagement
(and agrees that neither Piper Jaffray nor such persons shall have any liability to the District in connection
with such engagement) other than with respect to losses, claims, damages or liabilities finally judicially
determined to have resulted primarily from the negligence or willful misconduct of Piper Jaffray or such
persons.
Governing Law
This letter agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law
principles.
The District and Piper Jaffray agree to waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
brought by or on behalf of either party with respect to any matter whatsoever relating to or arising out of
any actual or proposed transaction or the engagement of or performance by Piper Jaffray hereunder.
Termination
This agreement may be terminated upon 30 days notice in the following events by the District: (a) at any
time after the Election if the issuance of the Bonds is not approved at the Election or (b) at any time upon
a material change in Piper Jaffray’s California Education senior investment banking personnel and by
Piper Jaffray at any time. The “Expenses,” “Indemnification,” and “Governing Law” provisions
contained herein shall survive any termination of this letter agreement.
Other
Piper Jaffray is not obligated as a result of this agreement to make a campaign contribution in connection
with the Election, nor has it otherwise committed to make a campaign contribution. Piper Jaffray will
not receive any compensation (from Bond proceeds, from other District funds, or from any other source)
as reimbursement for any campaign contribution of funds, services, or facilities that Piper Jaffray may
choose to make to the bond campaign committee in connection with the Election.

Approval of Agreement for Consulting Services between Santa Ynez Valley Union High School
District and Dolinka Group, LLC for Developer Fee Study Preparation
Consent Agenda:
__X__
Background
Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District levies school facilities fees pursuant to various resolutions as authorized by
Education Code section 17620 (formerly Government Code section 53080). 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

Adoption of the Resolution 2011-2012-3 for Adopting the Gann Limit
Action Agenda:
__X__
Background
Proposition 4, enacted in 1979, limited the growth in government spending to be no faster than the growth in
population and inflation. This limitation on government spending became known as the Gann Limit. Each
year, a school agency’s Gann Limit is increased for both inflation and population (for school agencies,
population is measured by the change in ADA).
Fiscal Impact: $0.00

This is to certify as of this date that each pupil, including English learners, in the Santa Ynez Valley
Union High School District has been provided with sufficient textbooks and instructional materials that
are aligned to the academic content standards and consistent with cycles and content of the
curriculum frameworks in the following subjects:



Coordinated Review Process (CRE) conducted March 28-April 1, 2011 by Janine Sanders of the
California Department of Education, Nutritional Services Division, Field Service Unit
Discussion Agenda: __X__
Background
According to 7CFR 210.18 all sponsors of the National School Lunch Program will receive an administrative review of
their program every five years. 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.

Report on 2011 Academic Performance Report for Santa Ynez Valley Union High School
Discussion Item:
__X _
Background
The state of California employs two separate accountability systems for public schools. 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.

Discussion of 4:00 pm Starting Time for Regular Board Meetings
Discussion Agenda: __X___
Background
A board member has requested that the board set aside time to discuss the possibility of changing the start
time of regular board meetings. The request is to discuss the potential of beginning board meetings at the
former 4 pm time, in order to allow for increased attendance by members of the school community (teachers,
coaches, students, etc.) who are unavailable after the current 5:30 start time.
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.
