Board Certification of Williams Uniform Complaint Quarterly Report Summary
BACKGROUND:
As a result of the Williams Lawsuit, the Board must certify on a quarterly basis that its members have been
informed of complaints made under this settlement.
Since the District receives both state and federal funds for educational programs, we are required to comply
with this part of the Williams settlement.
COST ANALYSIS
There is no immediate cost to this action other than staff time required to track and respond to complaints.
Currently that is minimal.

Obsolete Item Disposal List
BACKGROTIND
Equipment Items:
In accordance with Education Code 17546 sections (a) and (c) the governing board may deem that
property not exceeding $2,500.00 in value is of insufficient value to defray the costs of arranging an
auction sale and may be disposed of in the local public dump.
For safety and liability reasons, equipment items deemed obsolete or non-tepairable by the Board of
Trustees will not be made available to employees or other individuals or organizations.
Instructional Materials :
In accordance with Education Code 60510 the governing board may deem that instructional materials
are surplus andlor obsolete. These materials may be donated or sold according to sections (a) through
(e).
PROGRAM/E,DUCATIONAL IMPLICATION
None
COST ANALYSIS/FTINDING SOURCE
The current estimated market value of items on the attached list has been deemed by authorized District
personnel to be under $2,500.00. Due to limited staff and storage space, it is more cost effective for the District
to dispose of unusable items on a regular basis rather than accumulate items for auction.

NATIONAL VOLU NTEER WEEK, 201 5
Whereas, Our Nation has been profoundly shaped by ordinary Americans who have
volunteered their time and energy to overcome extraordinary challenges. From the
American Revolution and the Seneca Falls Convention to the everyday acts of
compassion and purpose that move millions to make change in their communlties, our
Nation has always been at its best when individuals have come together to reallze a
common vision. As we continue to pursue progress, service and social innovation will
play an essential role in achiev¡ng our highest ambitions -- from a world-class education
for every child to an economy built to last. During National Volunteer Week, we pay
tribute to all who give of themselves to keep America strong, and we renew the spirit of
service that has enriched our country for generations.
Whereas, That spirit lives on today in countless acts of service around our country. We
are reminded how volunteer work can expand opportunity not only for those in need, but
also for those who give. Service can teach valuable skills that pave the way to long-term
employment and stay with volunteers throughout their careers and lives.
Whereas, Volunteers are the lifeblood of our schools and community groups. From
working in the classroom with students to mentoring atrisk youth, these everyday heroes
make a real and lasting impact on the lives of the children in our schools.
Whereas, Service is a lifelong pursuit that strengthens the civic and economic fabric of
our Nation. With every hour and every act, our lives are made richer, our communities
are drawn closer, and our country is forged stronger by the dedication and generous
spirit of volunteers.

Site Plans for Joe Walker and Cottonwood Schools
BACKGRoLTND
Throughout the year, our schools look in depth at student achievement. As a result of that focus on student
achievement, School Site Councils utilize that information to assist in the development of the school plan
(Single Plan for Student Achievement), which incorporates student improvement goals with a spending plan.
As required by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), all plans must be aligned with the LEA
Plan approved by the Board in March 2010. Emphasis in the single plan must be on language arts and math,
and include strategies to improve performance of subgroups that did not make Adequate Yearly Progress
(AYP).
PRO
The sites' Single Plans reflect
o
.
.
o
Alignment with the District's areas of instructional focus:
o Meaningful student engagement for all students
o Full and effective use of district-adopted instructional materials
o Use of data to guide and inform daily instruction
o Use of learning objectives
Alignment with the Local Education Association Plan (LEAP) Addendum
Differential Instruction for English Learners and at-risk students
Intervention plans for those students at risk of not meeting grade level expectations
The Plans will be revised and updated to align with the Local Control Accountability Plan once it has been
developed.
COST ANALYSIS:
These plans contain the spending plans for each of the school sites, and
will
be balanced to the income received.

Medi-Cal Collaborative for Healthy Children
BACKGROIII{D
The Local Educational Agency (LEA) Medi-Cal Billing Option program provides the federal share of
reimbursement for health assessment and treatment for eligible children and family members within the school
environment. The LEA Medi-Cal Billing Option is administered by the Deparlment of Health Care Services.
Schools can now bill Medi-Cal for health & medical services (nursing, speech, counseling, and psychological
for students by LEA Medi-Cal providers (nurses, speech pathologists,
counselors, psychologists, etc) in the district. Reimbursements from the Billing Option must be used to
supplement and not supplant existing state and federal funding.
assessments and treatments) provided
LEAs must establish an interagency human service group to make decisions about the reinvestment of LEA
Medi-Cal funds.
The purpose of LEA Medi-Cal Collaborative is to make collective decisions about planning, implementing,
financing, and monitoring school-linked child and family support systems. It is also the responsibility of this
collaborative to identify school needs; how to best meet those needs and to reinvest funds into schools to
address those needs.
Funding generated from the program is utilized to supplement health services provided by the District.

Revised Board Policy/Administrative Regulations- First Reading
BACKGROLTND
Annually policies are reviewed by CSBA and changes are suggested as a result of either recent judicial rulings
or legislative enactment. Changes to BP/4R5123 suggested by CSBA make our policies consistent with law.
These policies and regulations have also been revised to reflect the impact of changes of funding for
supplemental instruction programs. This is the first reading of the policies and administrative regulations.
PRO
Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 0420.1- School Based Program Coordination - Delete
Both the policy and regulation are being deleting since School-Based Program Coordination was eliminated
with the implementation of the local control funding formula (LCFF).
Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 0440 -District Technology Plan - Replace
The updated policy includes information about the status of state and federal grant programs requiring
technology plans, provides for the district's plan to cover a three-year period consistent with California
Department of Education (CDE) criteria, and adds language on ensuring the confidentiality of student and staff
records.
The updated regulation includes the criteria for technology plans adopted by CDE in November 2014 and
addresses noninstructional uses of technology.
Administrative Regulation 5020 -Parents Rights and Responsibilities - Minor Revisions
The minor revision more accuratelv reflects the current law.
Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 5125 -Student Records - Revised
The policy has been updated to reflect AB 1442 which requires districts to notify students and parents/guardians
and provide an opportunity for public input before adopting a program to gather or maintain safety-related
information from students' social media activity. Policy also reflects SB 1177 which becomes effective January
7,2016 and will prohibit an online/mobile operator from selling or disclosing student information or using
student information to target advertising or amass a profile about a student. Revisions also reflect AB 1584
which mandates districts entering into a contract with a third parly for the digital storage, management, and
retrieval of student records to adopt policy allowing such contracts.
1
6
Revisions to the regulation reflect AB 1068 which authorizes the disclosure of records to students age 14 years
and older who are homeless and unaccompanied minors, persons who complete acaregiver's authoization
affidavit, and caseworkers or other agency representatives legally responsible for the care and protection of a
student. A new section has been added to reflect requirements of AB 1442 for districts that choose to adopt a
program to gather or maintain information from students' social media activity related to school or student
safety.
Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 5L41.4- Child Abuse and Reporting - Revised
The policy has been updated to reflect AB 2016 which authorizes districts to provide students with instruction
in sexual abuse and sexual assault awareness; AB 2560 which requires applicants for a new or renewed
credential to sign a statement that they understand their obligations as mandated repofters; and AB 1432 which
mandates staff training regarding the duties of mandated reporters.
The regulation has been updated to reflect AB 1775 which amends the definition of sexual exploitation and AB
1432 which requires districts to provide for annual training of mandated reporters. The revised regulation also
expands the list of mandated reporlers to include athletic coaches, athletic administrators, and athletic directors
and reflects current law which provides that a student's homelessness or status as an unaccompanied minor is
not a reason for reporting child abuse or neglect.
- Athletic Competition - Revised
The regulation has been updated to reflect SB 1349 which, beginning with the 2015-16 school year, requires
each school that offers competitive athletics to post cerlain information about the participation of males and
females in competitive athletics on its web site or, if the school does not have a web site, then on the district
web site. Regulation also reflects AB 2l2lwhich requires an athlete with a concussion to complete a gradual
return-to-play protocol.
Administrative Regulation 6145.2
Physical Education and Activity - Minor Revisions
The regulation has been revised to reflect that abroader group of health care professionals may excuse a student

Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 6158 - Independent Study - Revised
Revisions to the policy reflect SB 858 which changes the maximum length of the written master agreement and
mandates policy with specihed components as a condition of offering a program of course-based independent
study beginning in the 2015-16 school year. The policy has also been updated to add material on the variety of
independent study formats that may be offered, deletes the recommendation for weekly student-teacher
conference in order to be more flexible, and expands material on program evaluation to include comparison of
student performance data of independent study students with students in classroom-based instruction.
The regulation has been updated to reflect SB 858 which changes the maximum length of the written master
agreement, mandates policy with specified components as a condition of offering a program of course-based
independent study beginning in the 2015-16 school year, and clarifies that the teacher-student ratio must be
equivalent with that of all other educational programs at the applicable grade span unless a new higher or lower
grade span ratio is negotiated.
Administrative Regulation 6159 - lndividualized Education Program - Replace
The updated policy and regulation reflect changes in Education Code 56043 as amended by AB 1599

Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 6162.51-State Academic Achievement Tests - Replaced
The updated policy and regulation reflect SB 858 and AB 1599 which officially change the name of the state
assessment system to the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). The
regulation also reflects the status of CAASPP testing for the 20I4-I5 school year, including field testing of a
new alternative test of English language arts and mathematics for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
The regulation also reflects Title 5 regulations (Register 2014, No. 35) which establish testing windows, require
parental notification related to exemption from testing, list allowable testing resources (i.e., universal tools,
designated supports, accommodations) that may be used during test administration, and provide that, if test
results are received from the test contractor after the last day of instruction for the school year, then the report
must be disseminated to parents/guardians within the first 20 days of the next schoolyear.

School-Based Program Coordination
Philosophy, Goals, Objectives and Comprehensive Plans
BP 0420.1(a)
In order to best serve students with special needs, as well as students participating in designated
educational programs, the Board of Trustees encourages school-based program coordination as a
means for achieving flexibility in the use of the categorical funds received by each school. The
Board believes that resources acquired to assist students in one program often can benefit other
students without in any way depriving the originally targeted group.
A school-site council shall be established at each school to consider whether or not it wishes the
school to participate in school-based program coordination. All interested persons shall have an
opportunity to meet in public to establish the site council. (Education Code 52852.5)
(cf.0420 - School Plans/Site Councils)
(c1. 1220 - Citizen Advisory Committees)
Evaluation of each participating school's educational program shall include an assessment of the
school's effectiveness in meeting the needs of each student population targeted by categorical
funds.

District Technology Plan
BP 0440(a)
The Board of Trustees recognizes that technological resources can enhance student achievement
by increasing student access to information, supporling teacher effectiveness, and facilitating the
administration of student assessments. Effective use of technology can also increase the
efficiency of the district's noninstructional operations and governance.

The Superintendent or designee shall develop, for Board approval, a comprehensive three-year
technology plan based on an assessment of current uses of technology in the district and an
identihcation of future needs. The Superintendent or designee may appoint an advisory
committee consisting of a variety of staff and community stakeholders to assist with the
development of the technology plan.
(cf. 0400 - Comprehensive Plans)
(cf. 1220 - Citizen Advisory Committees)
(cf. 9140 - Board Representatives)
The plan shall be integrated into the district's vision and goals for student learning and shall
contain research-based strategies and methods for the effective use of technology. When required
for state or federal grant programs in which the district participates, the plan shall also address all
components required for receipt of such grants.

the Superintendent or designee may provide a variety of independenl study opportunities,
including, but not limited to, through a program or class within a comprehensive school, an
alternative school oÍ program of choice, a charter schoôl, a home.based format,and an online
oourse.
(c1. 0420,4 - Charter School Authorization)
(cf. 6181 - Alternative Schools/Programs of Choice)
A student's participation in independent study shall be voluntary. Students participating in
independent study shall have the right, at any time, to enter or return to the regular classroom
mode of instruction. (Education Code 51747;5 CCR 11700)
Parents/guardians of students who are interested in independent study shall contact the
Superintendent or designee. The Superintendent or designee shall approve independent study
for an individual student only upon determining that the student is prepared to meet the district's
requirements for independent study and is likely to succeed in independent study as well as or

The minimum period of time for any independent study option shall be five school days.
Written Agreements,
that,a
SIt4
.5 )
To foster each participating student's success in independent study, the Board establishes the
following maximum lengths of time which may elapse between the date an assignment is made
and the date by which the student must complete the assigned work:
1.
Two weeks for students in grades K-3
2.
Two weeks for students in grades 4-8
When circumstances justify a longer time, the Superintendent or designee may extend the
maximum length of an assignment to a period not to exceed eight weeks, pursuant to a written
request with justification.
Supervising teachers should carefully set the duration of independent study assignments, within
the limits specified above, and establish an appropriate schedule for student-teacher conferences
in order to help identify students falling behind in their work or in danger of failing or dropping
out of school. Except in unusual circumstances, it is expected that the supervising teacher will
meet with each participating student at least once a week, either in person or by electronic
means, to discuss the student's progress. Missing appointments with the supervising teacher
without valid reasons also may trigger an evaluation to determine whether the student should
remain in independent study.
(cf.5147 - Dropout Prevention)
When any parlicipating student fails to complete three consecutive independent study
assignments in a period of 15 school days, or misses two appointments with his/her supervising
teacher without valid reasons, an evaluation shall be conducted to determine whether it is in the
student's best interest to remain in independent study.
Home-Based Independent Study
2
BP 6158(c)
The Superintendent or designee shall encourage parents/guardians desiring to teach their children
at home to have their children participate in independent study. Such participation allows
continued contact and cooperation between the school system and the home-based student andi
ensures that the student will be offered a standards-based education substantially equivalent in
quality and quantity to the distiict's classroom instruction.
Program Evaluation
The Superintendent or designee shall annually report to the Board the number of distriCi students
participating in independent study, the average daily attendance (ADA) generated for
apportionment purposes, the quality of these students' work as measured by standard indicators
án¿ in compáriion to students in classroom-based instruction, and the number and proportion of
independent study students who graduate or successfully complete independent study. Based on
the program evaluation, the Board and Superintendent shall determine areas for program
improvement as needed.

New and Revised Board Policy
-
Second and Final Reading
BACKGROUND:
Annually policies are reviewed by CSBA and changes are suggested as a result of either recent judicial rulings
or legislative enactment. This reflects a new Board Policy suggested by CSBA to make our policies consistent
with law.
Board Policy 1330, Use of Facilities - Revised
Education Code 38133 mandates that the Governing Board develop rules and regulations related to the
management, direction, and control of school facilities. Pursuant to Education Code 38130-38138 (the Civic
Center Act), school facilities are civic centers and, under certain circumstances, members of the school
community must be allowed to use them for specified purposes. In granting access for use of school facilities to
district residents and community groups, the Board must be careful to avoid discriminating against certain
individuals, groups, or viewpoints and thereby violating constitutional requirements, including free speech
rights.
Board Policy 3555, Nutrition Program Compliance - New
(BP 3555 new) The following policy is mandated for any district that receives federal financial assistance for
its participation in the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, or
other child nutrition programs. State and federal law prohibit discrimination in such programs.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has authority to enforce federal laws in
all nutrition programs and activities that receive federal funds. The California Department of Education (CDE)
may also investigate complaints regarding discrimination through the Uniform Complaint Procedure, see
BP/AR 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures.

These Board Policies provide consistency with current laws, and help ensure consistency in our business
practices.

BP 3555(a)
The Board of Trustees recognizes the district's responsibility to comply with state and federal
nondiscrimination laws as they apply to the district's nutrition programs. The district shall not
deny any individual the benefits or service of any nutrition program or discriminate against
him/her because of his/her race, color, national origin, gender, sex, sexual orientation, disability,
or any other basis prohibited by law, in its implementation of such a program.
(cf. 3550 - Food Service/Child Nutrition Program)
(cf.3552 - Summer Meal Program)
Coordinator
The Board designates the compliance officer specif,red in AR 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint
Procedures as coordinator of the district's efforts to comply with the laws governing its nutrition
programs and to investigate any related complaints. Any complaint concerning the district's
nutrition programs shall be investigated using the process identified in the section entitled
"Procedures" in the district's AR 13 I2.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures.
(cf.
13
I2.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures)
The coordinator shall provide training on the laws, regulations, procedures, and directives related
to the district's nutrition programs to district employees involved in administering them. The
coordinator also shall develop procedures and systems that do not restrict the participation of
individuals in the district's nutrition programs, based on their race, ethnicity, or disability, and that
prevent district employees from incorrectly denying the applications for participation submitted by
such individuals.
The coordinator shall develop and maintain a system for collecting racial and ethnic data of
participants in the district's nutrition programs and shall, at least annually, report to the Board on
whether the district's nutrition programs are effectively reaching eligible individuals and whether
and where additional outreach may be needed.
(cf . 5022 - Students and Family Privacy Rights)
(cf.5125 - Student Records)
When a significant number of participants or potential participants in the district's nutrition
programs are only non-English speakers, the coordinator shall make an appropriate language

translation available.
(cf. 5020 - Parent Rights and Responsibilities)
(cf. 6020 - Parent Involvement)
(cf.6174 - English Language Learners)
The coordinator also shall ensure that the district's nutrition programs accommodate the special
dietary needs of any individual with a disability who has on file a medical statement that restricts
his/her diet because of his/her disability.
(cf. 5141 .27 - Food Allergies/Special Dietary Needs)
(cf. 6164.6 - Identification and Education Under Section 504)
Notifications
The coordinator shall ensure that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's "And Justice for All" or
other approved Nutrition Programs Civil Rights posters are displayed in areas visible to the
district's nutrition program parlicipants, such as food service areas and school offrces.
Annually, the coordinator shall notify all students, parents/guardians, and employees of program
requirements and the procedures for filing a complaint, through the district's usual means of
notification.
(cf. 4 1 12.9 I 4212.9 / 43 12.9 - Employee Notifi cations)
(cf. 5145.6 - Parental Notifications)
In addition, the coordinator shall ensure that every informational release, publication, or poster
concerning the district's nutrition programs and/or activities includes, in a prominent location, the
following statement:
"In accordance with federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is
prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion,
political beliefs, or disability. In addition, California law prohibits discrimination on any basis
identified in Government Code 12940.

Resolution i 5-31 School Facility Needs Analysis
BACKGROUND
Level I developer fees are currently set at a maximum of $3.36 per square foot for residential construction and
$.54 per square foot for commercial/industrial and senior housing. Vy'e share the Level I fee with the high
school district, per the Fee Sharing Agreement. Level II fees are purported to represent 50o/o of the cost of the
school facilities necessitated by new residential development and are based on a State determined per pupil
grant plus 50% of the costs associated with site acquisition and development. In order to implement Level II
fees the District must have a timely application to the State for funding with a determination of eligibility for
new construction funding, satisfaction of two out of four tests which are construed as cost saving or revenue
enhancement measures, and preparation and adoption of a School Facilities Needs Analysis in accordance with
Government Code Section 65995.5 and 65995.6. The amount to be included in the Alternative Fees is specified
by statute as to the costs permissible to include. The Alternative No. 2 Fee of 52.57 per square foot and the
Alternative No. 3 Fee of $5.1 3 per square foot are justified in the Analysis. The estimated average school
facilities cost impacts on the School District per square foot of residential construction as referenced to in
Exhibit E is $5.62,
PRO
Approval of this study is one of the steps necessary to implementing a Level II fee which funds new school
facilities, modernization, and reconstruction.
COST ANALYSIS/FLINDING
Acceptance of this study is the first step in the process of renewing our ability to levy Level II fees. The result
of the study is to decrease our Level II fee from $2.75 per square foot of residential space to 52.57 per square
foot. Level III fees were $5.50 per square foot and will decrease to $5.13 per square foot. If we do not accept
the study, we revert back to 74Yo of the $3.36 per square foot portion that accrues to Westside under Level I.

NOV/ THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE, V/ESTSIDE UNION
SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
1
2
-1
That the Board does hereby find and determine that the foregoing recitals and
determinations are true and correct and that the "school Facilities Needs Analysis for the
Westside Union School District" dated March 5,2015, meets all applicable legal
requirements.
That the District has received notification from the SAB that the District meets the
eligibility requirements for new construction funding pursuant to the provisions of the
SFP on }./.ay 26,7999.
That the District has made a timely application to the SAB for new construction funding
for which it is eligible.
4
That the District has caused to be prepared the "school Facilities Needs Analysis for the
Westside Union School District" dated March 5 , 2015 , which is on hle at the

Westside Union School District" dated March5,2015, for the purpose of establishing
Alternative School Facility Fees as to future residential construction within the District.
6
That the Board finds that the purpose of the Alternative School Facility Fees imposed
upon residential construction are to fund the additional school facilities to serve the
students generated by the residential construction upon which the Alternative School
Facility Fees are imposed as provided in the "school Facilities Needs Analysis for the
Westside Union School District" dated March 5, 2015, and applicable law.
7
That the Board finds the Alternative School Facility Fees are hereby established as
applicable and will be used to fund those school facilities described in the "School
Facilities Needs Analysis for the Westside Union School District" dated March 5,2015,
and that these school facilities are to serve the students generated by the residential
construction within the District as provided in the "school Facilities Needs Analysis for
the Westside Union School District" dated March 5,2075.

Payments have been imposed for the pulposes of constructing those school facilities
necessitated by new residential construction as fufther set forth in "School Facilities
Needs Analysis for the Westside Union School District" dated March 5,2015, and thus
these monies may be expended for all those purposes permitted by applicable law.
13
That the "school Facilities Needs Analysis for the Westside Union School District" dated
March 5,2015, determines the need for new school facilities for unhoused pupils that are
attributable to projected enrollment growth from the construction of new residential units
over the next five years, based on relevant planning agency information and the historical
generation rates of new residential units constructed during the previous five years that
are of a similar type of unit to those anticipated to be constructed within the District, the
cities, or the county.

With the final completion of the JCI Energy Savings Project, the District can now expect to realize the full
extent (less the Hillview adjustments) of the expected energy cost savings for the program. The funds made
available through these savings, as well as the anticipated rebates, will be available to address program needs.
