Since the approval of the 2011-12 Second Interim Financial Report in March, updated projections support adjusting the General Fund budget to increase the forecasted ending balance. These changes are predicated on lower overall year-to-date spending levels as of early May, and expected increases in revenues. The increase in the ending balance will allow more accurate budgeting as a starting point for fiscal year 2012-13. There remains much uncertainty as to whether property taxes and redevelopment proceeds will exceed current estimates, and whether final special education and operations spending will closely match targeted levels. Resolution 2012-12 will identify changes to the General Fund revenues, expenditures and fund balance, and are expected to increase the 2011-12 ending balance by a total of $523,000. This is a combination of an additional $261,000 net increase to revenues, and a decrease in expenditures of $262,000. It is possible that additional cost savings or revenue will be realized when the District’s books are closed this summer, but at present not there is not enough confidence in the hundreds of individual data points available to warrant further adjustments. Attached along with the Resolution is a complete listing of accounts affected by this budget revision. Revenues Changes to revenues include some additional property tax receipts, a net increase in special education funding, an increase in final Class-size Reduction funding, and small changes to transportation and local income. Expenditures It is expected that expenses for transportation, crossing guards, services, utilities and maintenance will be lower than forecast at Second Interim. Most other 5A expense categories were tracking close to budgeted levels as of the end of April. Utilities, benefits, special education instructional assistant costs, maintenance, and legal fees are typical areas where wide swings can occur against budgeted spending levels. It is assumed that about half of these savings would be considered as ongoing. Assumptions for Compiling the 2012-13 Adopted Budget There is great fiscal uncertainty as we head into Fiscal Year 2012-13. The governor’s May revision once again contains the specter of midyear cuts and hinges upon the November tax ballot measures. A possible sea change in school funding is being proposed in the so-called Weighted Student Formula (WSF). A rising level of Fair Share offsets to basic aid districts reduces available categorical funding. Higher health care costs, support for programs and operations, additional special education staffing, Program Improvement requirements, and three-year compliance certification all add pressures on the spending side of the budget. All of these, and other variables, make accurate (or meaningful) budgeting a difficult task. Listed below are some of the assumptions that are proposed to be used in compiling the 2012-13 Adopted Budget. 1) Enrollment is projected to be +/- 1% from the current year’s 3,680 students. 2) Property tax growth will be budgeted at 1% of Secured Taxes. The current Santa Barbara County Tax Collector’s Office estimate for our District is about 0.79%. 3) The District is at impasse in negotiations with the teachers’ bargaining unit for 2011-12. The outcome of this process is unknown, and although any agreement will have a fiscal impact, no meeting is planned until late September. 4) Budget cuts totaling about $650,000 for 2012-13, approved by the Board in the Second Interim Financial Report will be used in the Adopted Budget. 5) Staffing levels for regular education is projected to be 154 fulltimeequivalent (FTE) positions. 6) Special Education will add an Emotionally Disturbed Program classroom and increase psychologists and speech pathologists positions totaling about 2.1 FTE’s. 7) The District’s Fair Share offset to state categorical programs will increase from 8.92% to 9.57% of the revenue limit calculation. This will increase the reduction of categorical funding by about $192,000 from $1,952,000 to $2,144,000 for 2012-13. Additionally, a $47,000 ($13 per ADA) one-time cut for 2012-13 will reduce state categorical funds. 5A 8) If the November tax ballot measures fail, it will result in another $441 per ADA (about $1,585,000). It is assumed, consistent with the way the Fair Share process was implemented the last three years, this reduction would not occur until fiscal year 2013-14 and would be ongoing. 9) No carryover of school site general education or strategic plan will be factored into the budget. Carryover of site categorical monies will not be known until the books are closed. 10) Budgeted allocated amounts for Strategic Plan and regular education will remain at 2011-12 levels. 11) No General Fund match for Deferred Maintenance will be budgeted. 12) The Weighted Student Formula will not be factored in to the budget at this point. Additional clarification is needed as to the calculation of the WSF, the implementation timeline and confirmation of basic aid hold harmless status for 2012-13 if the WSF is enacted.

For the 2008-09 fiscal year through the 2014-15 fiscal year, inclusive, local educational agencies that use the flexibility provision of this section shall be deemed to be in compliance with the program and funding requirements contained in statutory, regulatory and provisional language. As a condition of receipt of the funds, the governing board is required, at a regularly scheduled open public hearing held prior to and independent of a meeting where the governing board of the district adopts the annual budget, to take testimony from the public, identify any program that is proposed to be closed, discuss, approve or disapprove the proposed use of funding, and make explicit the purposes for which the funding will be used. Proposed Use of 2012-13 Tier III State Categorical Funds It is recommended that the Board of Trustees consider approval of some and or all funding amounts available from the 2012-13 Tier III State Categorical Funds as identified on the attached list. The Fair Share offset to categorical programs varies from year to year, and thus it is difficult to predict exactly how much funding the District may receive in fiscal year 2012-13 for each program. Resolution 2012-10 will authorize the District to use available state categorical funds for any instructional, operational and employee-related General Fund expenditures during fiscal year 2012-13. Recommendation I recommend that after closing this public hearing, that the Board of Trustees adopt Resolution 2012-10; Establishing Tier III Categorical Flexibility for fiscal year 2012-13. 5B Date: June 13, 2012 Time: 7: P.M.

During the term of this Agreement, the Board reserves the right to increase from time-to-time the salary payable to the Superintendent to be effective prospectively or retroactively on any date ordered by the Board in accordance with Education Code section 35032.

The Superintendent shall receive reimbursement for documented actual and necessary expenses incurred within the scope of employment, including, but not limited to, business-related travel (lodging, meals, parking, tolls); the cost of membership in community service and professional organizations (e.g., ACSA), including professional dues and expenses; and the costs of attendance at meetings or events of fraternal, business, or civic organizations.

Physical examination. The Superintendent shall have a complete medical examination by a District-approved physician every two years or upon request by the Board. All costs of this medical examination shall be paid by the District. The physician’s report of the Superintendent’s physical examination shall be filed with the President of the Board and be treated as confidential information by the Board. At the discretion of the Board, the Board shall be advised in writing by the examining physician of the current fitness of the Superintendent to perform his/her duties. The Superintendent agrees to execute any necessary documents to release this information to the Board. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive the Superintendent’s physician/patient privilege with any physician with whom Superintendent consults for the purposes of this paragraph and Agreement. 13. Duties. In accordance with the policies adopted by the Board and rules and regulations of the State of California, the Superintendent shall satisfactorily perform the duties of the Superintendent of the District as prescribed by law, act as secretary to the Board in accordance with Education Code Section 35025; exercise those powers and perform those duties set forth in Education Code Section 35035; efficiently and effectively manage the programs and operations of the District; oversee the day-to-day operations of the District and, satisfactorily perform such other duties and assume such other responsibilities as are assigned by the Board. The Superintendent shall attend all regular, special and closed session meetings of the Board, with the exception of any closed session meetings during which the Board wishes to discuss the performance of the Superintendent without him/her being present. The Superintendent shall serve as an ex officio member on any and all District committees and subcommittees, and shall be entitled to submit recommendations on any item of business considered by the Board or any committee or subcommittee of the District. No policy or bylaw of the District shall diminish the Superintendent’s statutory or contractual authority. All duties assigned to the Superintendent by the Board shall be appropriate to and consistent with the professional role and responsibility of the Superintendent. a. Personnel Matters. The Superintendent shall have the responsibility and authority for all personnel matters, including organizing, reorganizing, and arranging the administrative, supervisory and other staff, including instruction and business affairs, which in his/her judgment best serve the District. The Superintendent shall have responsibility and authority for the general supervision of all personnel matters as set forth in Board policy. b. Other Duties. The Superintendent shall personally or by direction: (i) review all policies adopted by the Board and make appropriate recommendations to the Board; (ii) evaluate employees as provided for by California law and Board policy; (iii) advise the Board of all possible sources of funds which might be available to 3 5E implement present or contemplated District programs; and (iv) establish and maintain an appropriate community relations program. c. Superintendent and Board Responsibilities. The Superintendent shall be the chief executive officer of the District. As such, the Superintendent shall have the primary responsibility for the execution of Board policy, whereas the Board shall retain the primary responsibility for formulating and adopting policy. The Board, individually and collectively, will refer promptly all criticisms, complaints, and suggestions called to its attention to the Superintendent for study and recommendation. In addition to directing all complaints/criticisms/suggestions concerning the District or any of its personnel directly to Superintendent as set forth above, the Board agrees that it shall work with Superintendent in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork, and shall provide Superintendent with periodic opportunities to discuss the Board/Superintendent relationship. 14. Management Hours. It is understood that the demands of the office will require Superintendent to average more than an eight (8) hour workday or a forty (40) hour workweek. It is also understood there will be times when the demands of the office do not require the presence or services of the Superintendent during the normal work day or work week. Therefore, Superintendent shall maintain a work schedule that is sufficient to adequately, efficiently, and effectively perform the duties of the office. Unless otherwise directed by the Board, he/she may be absent from duty during normal working hours and shall not be required to adhere to those office hours prescribed for other personnel. 16. Outside Professional Activities. The Superintendent shall be authorized to undertake outside professional activities for compensation including consulting, speaking, and writing, provided that the Superintendent shall devote so much of his/her time and energy to the performance of the duties of his/her office as are required to adequately perform the duties and responsibilities thereof. The Superintendent’s performance of the duties and responsibilities of his/her office shall take precedence over any such outside activities, and the Board may disapprove time-off by the Superintendent during the normal workweek to engage in such outside activity. The Superintendent agrees not to use District property or staff in performing outside professional activities without prior Board approval. In no case will the District be responsible for any expenses attendant to the performance of such outside activities unless prior Board approval is obtained. 18. Evaluation. The Board and the Superintendent shall annually develop and agree upon performance goals and objectives that shall serve as the basis for an annual written evaluation. The Board and the Superintendent shall endeavor to develop annual goals and objectives no later than the first meeting of the Board in September of each year. The Board shall devote a portion of at least one meeting each school year for discussion and evaluation of the performance and working relationship between the Superintendent and the Board. The Superintendent shall inform the Board on or before 4 5E May 1 of each year of the date of the evaluation and together the Superintendent and Board shall agree on a timeline for the evaluation process. The Board shall determine in writing on the Superintendent’s evaluation form whether or not the evaluation is “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory.” The Board, at its discretion, may conduct an evaluation more than once each school year. During the 2012-2013 school year the Board and Superintendent will meet every three months in order to informally assess the working relationship between the Board and the Superintendent, and to evaluate the Superintendent’s progress toward the established goals and objectives. 19. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated on any of the following bases: a. Mutual Consent. By mutual agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time. b. Resignation. The Superintendent may resign and terminate this Agreement only by providing the Board with at least ninety (90) days advance written notice, unless the parties agree otherwise. c. Non-Renewal of Agreement by the District. The Board may elect not to renew this Agreement upon its expiration by providing written notice to the Superintendent in accordance with Education Code section 35031 (currently 45-days prior notice), or other applicable provisions of law. The Superintendent shall inform the Board President of this notice requirement at least ninety (90) days in advance of expiration of this Agreement. d. Termination for Cause. If the Board determines that the Superintendent has materially breached the terms of this Agreement or has neglected to perform his/her duties under it, the Board may initiate termination for cause proceedings against the Superintendent. For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall exist if Superintendent: (1) violates Board policy or administrative regulations; (2) refuses or fails to act in accordance with a specific provision of this Agreement or directive or order of a majority of the Board; (3) exhibits dishonesty in regard to his/her employment; (4) is convicted of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or physical or emotional harm to any person; or, (5) is unable to perform the essential functions of his/her position. The existence of such cause shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall extinguish all rights and duties hereunder. If cause exists, the Governing Board shall immediately meet with the Superintendent and shall submit all charges in writing for his/her review. If the Superintendent disputes the charges, the Superintendent shall then be entitled to a conference before the Board in closed session. The Superintendent and the Board shall each have the right to be represented by counsel at their own expense. The Superintendent shall have a reasonable opportunity to respond to all matters raised in the charges. The conference with the Board shall not be an evidentiary hearing and neither party shall have the 5 5E opportunity to call witnesses. If the Board, after considering all evidence presented, decides to terminate this Agreement, it shall provide the Superintendent with a written decision. The decision of the Board shall be final. The Superintendent’s conference before the Board shall be deemed to satisfy the Superintendent’s entitlement to due process of law and shall be the Superintendent’s exclusive right to any conference or hearing otherwise required by law. The Superintendent waives any other rights that may be applicable to this termination for cause proceeding with the understanding that completion of this hearing exhausts the Superintendent’s administrative remedies and then authorizes the Superintendent to contest the Board’s determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. e. Termination without Cause. If, for any reason, without cause or a hearing, at any time, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interest of the District, the Board may unilaterally terminate this Agreement. In consideration for the exercise of this right, the District shall pay to the Superintendent from the date of termination until the expiration of this Agreement, or for a period of eighteen (18) months, whichever is less, a monthly sum equal to the Superintendent’s gross monthly salary at the salary rate in effect during his/her last month of service. Payments to the Superintendent shall be made on a monthly basis unless the parties agree in writing otherwise. As a condition of receiving such monthly payments, the Superintendent shall be obligated to immediately seek other full-time employment in good faith and to notify the District in writing immediately if Superintendent earns income from any employment-related source. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “salary” shall include only the Superintendent’s regular monthly base salary and shall not include the value of any other stipends, reimbursements or benefits received under this Agreement. All payments made pursuant to this termination without cause provision shall be subject to applicable payroll deductions and shall be treated as compensation for state and federal tax purposes. No payments made pursuant to this early termination provision shall constitute creditable service, creditable compensation or compensation earnable for CalSTRS or CalPERS retirement purposes. Payments made pursuant to this termination without cause provision shall be considered as final settlement pay; accordingly, no deductions shall be made for retirement purposes. The Superintendent shall also be entitled to a continued District contribution toward health benefits, as those benefits may change from time-to-time, for the remainder of the unexpired term of this Agreement, for a period of eighteen (18) months, or until the Superintendent obtains other employment that provides health insurance, whichever occurs first. If the Superintendent is terminated without cause and elects to retire instead of fulfilling the Superintendent’s obligation to seek other employment as set forth above, the parties agree that, effective upon the date of the Superintendent’s retirement with the CalSTRS or CalPERS, the amount paid to the Superintendent as salary shall be reduced by the amount of retirement income earned from CalSTRS or CalPERS. 6 5E The parties agree that any damages to the Superintendent that may result from the Board’s early termination of this Agreement without cause cannot be readily ascertained. Accordingly, the parties agree that the payments made pursuant to this termination without cause provision, along with the District’s agreement to provide health benefits, constitutes reasonable liquidated damages for the Superintendent, fully compensates the Superintendent for all tort, contract, and other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether in law or equity, and does not result in a penalty. The parties agree that the District’s completion of its obligations under this provision constitutes the Superintendent’s sole remedy to the fullest extent provided by law. Finally, the parties agree that this provision meets the requirements governing maximum cash settlements as set forth in Government Code section 53260 et seq. and that any payment of cash or other consideration to the Superintendent pursuant to a settlement agreement resulting from the termination of this Agreement by the Board is subject to the limitations and requirements contained in Government Code sections 53260 et seq. and other applicable provisions of law, as the law may be amended from time-to-time. f. Termination for Inappropriate Fiscal Practices. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board believes, and subsequently confirms through an independent audit, that the Superintendent has engaged in fraud, misappropriation of funds, or other illegal fiscal practices, then the Board may terminate the Superintendent without cause and the Superintendent shall not be entitled to any cash, salary payments, health benefits or other non-cash settlement as set forth above. This provision is intended to implement the requirements of Government Code section 53260(b). 20. Abuse of Office Provisions. In accordance with Government Code section 53243 et seq., and as a separate contractual obligation, should the Superintendent receive a paid leave of absence or cash settlement if this contract is terminated with or without cause, such paid leave or cash settlement shall be fully reimbursed to the District by the Superintendent if the Superintendent is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of his office or position. In addition, if the District funds the criminal defense of the Superintendent against charges involving abuse of office or position and the Superintendent is then convicted of such charges, the Superintendent shall fully reimburse the District all funds expended for his criminal defense. 21. Notice of Finalist in Search. In all cases, the Superintendent immediately shall notify the Board should he/she become a finalist in the selection process for Superintendent with any other District. 22. Waiver.
