Others having direct, unsupervised contact with students shall also have criminal records checks and fingerprinting, as required by law ORS 326.603. “Direct, unsupervised contact” means contact with students that provides the person opportunity and probability for personal communication or touch. In addition to the newly hired employees, such checks shall be required of the following: 1. All school district contractors and/or their employees, whether employed part-time or full-time; 2. All volunteers in our schools and any school sponsored activity or event, who will have direct, unsupervised contact with students; 3. All contractors and/or their employees who provide early childhood special education or early intervention services in accordance with rules established by the employment department Oregon Department of Education, Child Care Division; 4.

In preparation for the renewal, the board’s practice has been for the chair and vice-chair to meet with the superintendent to review terms of the agreement. The current employment agreement with the superintendent was approved by the board in June of 2015, and is effective until June 30, 2017. Provisions of the agreement that extend into 2017 were adopted to reflect “the board’s desire to have compensation and other terms that represent the superintendent’s scope of responsibility, current market conditions, comparison data with other districts, and job performance.” Because the current agreement remains in force until June 30, 2017, board consideration of a renewal agreement is not necessary at this time. This item has been placed on the consent agenda this evening to remain consistent with the established timeline for reviewing the superintendent’s employment agreement, provide a historical reference, and acknowledge that the current agreement is still in force. Discussion regarding subsequent years of the superintendent’s employment agreement, process, and timeline will be included on a future agenda, possibly during the board’s summer planning session or in the fall.

The agreement provides participating districts with emergency assistance in the form of supplemental personnel, equipment, materials, or other support. The borrowing district will receive support at the lender’s discretion. Cost to the borrowing district generally occurs after the first eight hours of use for personnel or equipment and at replacement cost for supplies and materials. Resources “borrowed” with reimbursement and terms of exchange are defined the attached agreement. The point of contact for this agreement would be the director of emergency management to be determined by each district. This agreement will be effective upon execution by two or more participating districts. A participating district may opt to terminate the agreement by providing written notice to each of the participating districts.

Intergovernmental Agreement Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement Emergency Assistance 2016-2017 Page 5 of 12 ARTICLE IX – GENERAL NATURE OF EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE Emergency assistance will be in the form of resources, including equipment, supplies, and personnel, or the direct provision of services. The execution of the Omnibus Agreement shall not create any duty to respond on the part of any Participating District. A Participating District shall not be held liable for failing to provide emergency assistance. A Participating District has the absolute discretion to decline to provide any requested emergency assistance and to withdraw resources it has provided at any time without incurring any liability. Resources are “borrowed” with reimbursement and terms of exchange varying with the type of resource as defined in Articles X through XII. The Participating Districts recognize that time is critical during an emergency and diligent efforts will be made to respond to a request for resources as rapidly as possible, including any notification(s) that requested resources are not available. ARTICLE X – LOANS OF EQUIPMENT At the sole discretion of the Lender, equipment may be made available upon request of a Participating District. The first eight (8) hours of use will be without cost to the Borrower, after which use of equipment, including construction equipment, vehicles, tools, pumps and motors, shall be at the Lender’s actual costs or their current equipment rate; or if no written rates have been established, at the hourly operating costs set forth in an industry standard publication as selected by the Directors of Emergency Management, or as mutually agreed between Borrower and Lender. Equipment and tool loans are subject to the following conditions: 1. At the option of the Lender, loaned equipment may be loaned with an operator. See Article XII for terms and conditions applicable to use of borrowed personnel. 2. Loaned equipment shall be returned to the Lender upon release by the Borrower, or immediately upon the Borrower’s receipt of an oral or written notice from the Lender for the return of the equipment. When notified to return equipment to a Lender, the Borrower shall make every effort to return the equipment to the Lender’s possession within twenty-four (24) hours following notification. 3. Borrower shall, at its own expense, supply all fuel, lubrication and necessary maintenance for loaned equipment. The Borrower will take proper precaution in its operation, storage and maintenance of Lender’s equipment. Lender shall endeavor to provide equipment in good working order. All equipment is provided “as is”, with no representations or warranties as to its fitness for particular purpose, or general condition. 4. Lender’s costs related to the transportation, handling, and loading/unloading of equipment shall be chargeable to the Borrower. Lender shall provide copies of invoices for these charges when provided by outside sources and shall provide hourly accounting of charges for Lender’s employees who perform these services. Intergovernmental Agreement Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement Emergency Assistance 2016-2017 Page 6 of 12 5. Without prejudice to a Lender’s right to indemnification under Article XIV, in the event loaned equipment is lost or damaged while in the custody and/or use of the Borrower, or while being returned by Borrower to the Lender, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for the reasonable cost of repairing the damaged equipment. If the equipment cannot be repaired within a time period indicated by the Lender, then Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of replacing damaged equipment with equipment which is of equal condition and capability. Any determinations of what constitutes “equal condition and capability” shall be at the discretion of the Lender. If Lender must lease or rent a piece of equipment while the Lender’s equipment is being repaired or replaced, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such costs. Borrower shall have the right of subrogation for all claims against persons other than parties to this Omnibus Agreement who may be responsible in whole or in part for damage to the equipment. Borrower shall not be liable for damage caused by the sole negligence of Lender’s Operators. ARTICLE XI – EXCHANGE OF MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES Borrower shall reimburse Lender in kind or at Lender’s actual replacement cost, plus handling charges, for use of partially consumed or non-returnable materials and supplies, as mutually agreed between Borrower and Lender. Other reusable materials and supplies which are returned (unused) to Lender in clean, damage-free condition shall not be charged to the Borrower and no rental fee will be charged. Lender shall determine whether items returned are “clean and damage-free” and items shall be treated as partially consumed or non-returnable materials and supplies if an item is found to be damaged. ARTICLE XII – LOANS OF PERSONNEL Lender may, at its option, loan to Borrower employees who are willing to provide various services. These employees will be loaned without cost to the Borrower for the first eight (8) hours of service, after which they will be loaned at Borrower’s expense equal to Lender’s full costs, including each employee’s salary or hourly wages, call back or overtime costs, benefits and overhead, and consistent with Lender’s collective bargaining or individual contracts, if any, or other conditions of employment. Costs to feed and house loaned personnel, if necessary, shall be chargeable to and paid by the Borrower. The Borrower is responsible for assuring such arrangements as may be necessary to provide for the safety, housing, meals, and transportation to and from job sites/housing sites (if necessary) for loaned personnel. The Participating Districts’ Directors of Emergency Management or their designees shall develop planning details associated with being a Borrower or Lender under the terms of this Omnibus Agreement. Lender personnel providing emergency assistance shall be under the temporary direction of the emergency management authorities of the Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for cessation or slowdown of work if Lender’s employees decline or are reluctant to perform any assigned tasks if employees judge a task to be unsafe. A request for loaned personnel to direct the activities of others during a particular response operation does not relieve the Borrower of any responsibility or create any liability on the part of the Lender for decisions and/or consequences of the response operation. When supervisory personnel are loaned, the Lender may make stipulations on the scope and duties of supervisory personnel loaned. Intergovernmental Agreement Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement Emergency Assistance 2016-2017 Page 7 of 12 ARTICLE XIII – RECORD KEEPING Time sheets and/or daily logs showing hours worked and equipment and materials used or provided by the Lender will be recorded on a shift by shift basis by the Lender and/or the loaned employee(s) and will be provided to the Borrower as needed. If no personnel are loaned, the Lender will provide shipping records for materials and equipment, and the Borrower is responsible for any required documentation of use of material and equipment for any available state or federal reimbursement. Under all circumstances, the Borrower remains responsible for ensuring that the amount and quality of all documentation is adequate to enable disaster reimbursement if available.

The IGA will allow Sodexo to provide meals for Arata Creek and Burlingame. The Nutrition Services Department of the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) delivered instructions for the Intergovernmental Agreement. Attached is the required agreement provided by ODE for 2016-17. PRESENTER: Mike Schofield SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: 1. Intergovernmental Agreement between Multnomah Education Service District and Gresham-Barlow School District for Food/Meal Services for Arata Creek 2. Intergovernmental Agreement between Multnomah Education Service District and Gresham-Barlow School District for Food/Meal Services for Burlingame RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends approval of the 2016-17 Intergovernmental Agreements with Multnomah Education Service District for Food/Meal Services for Arata Creek and Burlingame, as presented. REQUESTED ACTION: Consent agenda approval MS:mkh:lc Options for Contracted Meal Services How to get meals from outside your organization? Sponsors for the Child Nutrition Programs have options for providing food/meal services. Food service contracts are agreements between school districts both public and private, private non-profit organizations or a public government entities. The meal providers may also be a catering company or a food service management company. The provider may prepare and serve the food or may act as a vendor only. Meals not prepared by the Sponsor either on site (self-prep) or from the Sponsor’s central kitchen are considered meals from an outside source. Choose the agreement that best fits your situation. Intergovernmental Agreement (Pages 2-6) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 6 This type of Agreement is between two public entities. When a sponsor that is a public entity receives food, meals, and/or staffing from another public entity an Intergovernmental Agreement is used. (ORS 190.010) If there is another Sponsor for the child nutrition programs that is willing to be the vendor, the Agreement may be awarded by direct negotiation with the other Sponsor without competition. The Sponsor will retain all documentation in their files for review. Agreements developed under this option do not have renewal years available; they are negotiated each year. Vended Meal Agreement (Pages 7-12) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 11 In a Vended Meal Agreement, the vendor does not directly manage any aspect of actually serving the food. Instead, the vendor provides only pre-packaged, pre-plated meals or food only. When meal food costs will be under $150,000 during the fiscal year and the Sponsor is providing the staff for serving the meals a Vended Meal Agreement is used. The Sponsor must document contact with at least three (3) vendors and obtain competitive price quotations. The Sponsor will retain all documentation in their files for review. Agreements developed under this option do not have renewal years available; they are negotiated each year. Food Service Management Company Agreement The Food Service Management Company (FSMC) provides services for Sponsors such as serving, producing, and supplying prepared foods. FSMCs can also provide program operational, facility management, and staffing services to Sponsors. In general, FSMC services will require a competitive procurement and resulting agreement as the yearly cost is over $150,000. Sponsors typically use a Request for Proposal (RFP) format to procure a management company. The RFP format allows the Sponsor to award the Agreement based on a combination of lowest price and how well the proposals meet the evaluation criteria established by the Sponsor. Form 581-3658b-E (Rev. 10/13) 1 If you need guidance or technical assistance for this process, please contact your assigned Child Nutrition Specialist.

Intergovernmental Agreement (Pages 2-6) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 6 This type of Agreement is between two public entities. When a sponsor that is a public entity receives food, meals, and/or staffing from another public entity an Intergovernmental Agreement is used.

Fortunately for us, Julie Evans, our Elementary Education Director, stepped in to share about North Gresham Elementary School. North was one of two elementary schools to receive a technology grant. So they are currently working on that. They have also been using the Journeys curriculum, which focuses on language arts. There have many different programs going on here including the Right Brain Initiative. The school is in its first year of being a SUN school and they are using the Restorative Justice Program in the school. The Restorative Justice Program is a teaching/learning based discipline program rather than a consequence based program. The school is also looking forward to the bond coming up, as they are hoping for a brand new school. WeheldOfficerElectionsfornextyear’sDACboard.

The policy refers to a set of seven standards of performance for which the superintendent is responsible. At least annually, the board evaluates the superintendent in relation to these standards of performance. The 2015-16 evaluation process began in August 2015 with the establishment of an evaluation committee comprised of directors Howatt (who served as chair of the committee), Hartsock, and Garner. The board’s charge to this committee was to hire a consultant to design a 360° evaluation process, survey a variety of stakeholders, and report the results to the board. Accordingly, the Coraggio Group was hired to consult with the committee and conduct the survey. A comprehensive report with survey responses was presented to the board by the Coraggio Group in an executive session on May 5, 2016. Subsequently, Director Howatt compiled a summary of the evaluation results for board discussion and acceptance this evening. This step will conclude the 2015-16 evaluation process. The evaluation process and timeline for subsequent years will be reviewed by the board during the August planning session. PRESENTER: Kris Howatt SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: 1.

The process provides the essential two-way communication between the board’s independent auditor and board/budget committee members. The process also enhances the board’s responsibility to provide independent review and oversight of 1) the district’s financial reporting processes, 2) the district’s internal controls, and 3) the independent audit of the district’s financial statements. The process includes several meetings each year between the auditor, the audit involvement committee and management. Justin Weatherford currently serves on the audit involvement team. Since Mr. Weatherford’s term of service on the budget committee ends on June 30, 2016, and we do not have another budget committee member appointed to the audit involvement team, the administration recommends filling these two positions once there is a full slate of budget committee members. PRESENTER: Mike Schofield SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: None RECOMMENDATION: Delay appointments to the Audit Involvement Team until the board has filled the vacant budget committee positions. REQUESTED ACTION: Move to delay appointments to the Audit Involvement Team until the board has filled the vacant budget committee positions.

The focus of this grant was to improve student achievement through voluntary collaboration of teachers and administrators to design new approaches to: a) b) c) d) Career pathways for teachers; Evaluation processes for teachers; Compensation models for teachers; and Enhanced professional development opportunities for teachers. Linking these four components to educator effectiveness empowers teachers, promotes leadership, and raises student achievement. The Collaboration Design Team created a blueprint in each of these four areas. On June 20 members from the Collaboration Design Team will be presenting the blueprints to staff from ODE, to secure a School District Collaboration Grant for nearly $950,000 for the 2016-2017 school year. If the grant is awarded to the school district, it will be brought to the board for acceptance at a future meeting. An assurance page needs to be signed by the Board Chair, along with the Superintendent and the GBEA Bargaining Chair prior, to the June 20 presentation.

The Bond Measure Planning Committee, through a series of datagathering meetings and input from students, parents, community, individual school staff, and the administration, developed a list of urgent and long-term needs for safety improvements, capital maintenance items, facility replacement recommendations, facility upgrades, facility additions, and equal access to technology and classroom equipment, totaling approximately $490,000,000. After assessing the original list of needs, the Bond Measure Planning Committee prioritized the list of urgent and long-term needs and recommended safety improvements, capital maintenance items, facility replacement recommendations, facility upgrades, facility additions, and equal access to technology and classroom equipment, totaling approximately $298,600,000, and presented the recommendation to the board in February 2016. The board reviewed the initial recommendation and directed the administration to solicit input from staff, parents, and community members regarding the prioritized list developed by the Bond Measure Planning Committee. During the months of March through April, the administration collected feedback from 778 staff, 143 parents, and 230 community members. The feedback was presented and reviewed by the board at a work session in May. Based on the feedback from staff, parents, and community members, the administration recommended changes to the Bond Measure Planning Committee’s recommendation as presented on June 2, 2016, revising the total recommendation to $299,170,000. Board of Directors Re: No. 28 – Bond Proposal Recommendation June 9, 2016 Page 2 PRESENTER: Jim Schlachter SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: None RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation for consideration this evening is for the board to direct the district administration to prepare the necessary documents calling for a bond measure election in the November 2016 General Election, including a notice of bond election and explanatory statement to be brought before the board of directors for a vote in July 2016 in an aggregate principal amount of $299,170,000.

The policy was first presented to the school board as an information item during the April 28 Board Work Session by members of the Superintendent’s Equity Advisory Committee. The Policy Review Committee reviewed the policy and brought suggested revisions to the board for first reading at the June 2 Board Work Session. The policy is being presented this evening for second reading and adoption. PRESENTER Teresa Ketelsen SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: Policy JBB, Educational Equity RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends board approval of Policy JBB, Educational Equity, as presented for second reading. REQUESTED ACTION: Move to adopt Policy JBB, Educational Equity, as presented for second reading. TK:lc Gresham-Barlow SD 10 Code: JBB Revised/Reviewed: Educational Equity The Gresham-Barlow School District is committed to ensuring the right of each student to have equitable opportunities to achieve their dreams and academic goals by minimizing barriers and limitations. Student success will not be predicted nor predetermined by national origin, race, culture, ethnicity, sex, language, socio-economic status, mobility, sexual orientation, disability, and/or religion. The Gresham-Barlow School District recognizes that: • Responsibility rests on all Gresham-Barlow School District employees to foster each student’s individual determination to access high quality education and perform at heightened levels of academic proficiency. • All district staff must partner with families for shared decision making. • Allocating resources equitably rather than equally will support the narrowing of the achievement and other student opportunity gaps. • An inclusive and welcoming environment allows students and families to feel safe, respected, and valued, thus supporting students in achieving their educational objectives. To this end the District will: • Actively eliminate practices as they are identified that prevent students from achieving academic success, including barriers of institutional racism. The District will apply the principle of equity to policies, programs, practices, operations and resource allocation to enable all students to access a high quality education. • Recruit, employ, support and retain a culturally competent workforce that reflects the racial, ethnic, sex, and linguistic diversity of the student body. The district shall consider workforce equity when recruiting, employing, supporting and retaining staff. • Involve students, families, staff, and community members that reflect student demographics to inform school and district level decisions, particularly those involving the narrowing of the achievement and other opportunity gaps. • Recognize and remove institutional barriers that hinder students from achieving academic success. • Provide support for all students through equitable resource allocation to schools. • Plan and engage administrators, instructional and support personnel in ongoing professional development in culturally competent and culturally responsive practices. • Support and provide ongoing equity training to staff for the goal of eliminating institutional racism. Educational Equity – Code (JBB) 1-2 • Use data disaggregated by race, ethnicity, sex, language, socioeconomic status, and disability to inform district decisions in order to narrow the achievement and other student opportunity gaps.

PACE’s original trust agreement was adopted in 2006 and was recently reviewed and revised. There are two substantive changes to the Trust Agreement that were approved by the OSBA board of trustees. First, trustees created a dispute resolution process that encourages the parties to resolve any disputes at the lowest possible level. Second, PACE trustees will be allowed to serve up to three terms of three years to provide stability to the program and allow trustees to apply the experience and education they have received to the complexities of the insurance program. PRESENTER: Mike Schofield SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: 1. Memorandum dated March 28, 2016, regarding “New PACE Trust Agreement Requires Board Action” 2. Restated Trust Agreement, Property and Casualty Coverage for Education 3. Form of Joinder to Trust Agreement for Members RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Restated Trust Agreement dated 2/29/16 and the Form of Joinder to Trust Agreement effective March 12, 2016. REQUESTED ACTION: Approval of the Restated Trust Agreement dated February 29, 2016 and the Form of Joinder to Trust Agreement effective March 12, 2016. MS:mkh:lc **IMPORTANT** REQUIRES BOARD ACTION DATE: March 28, 2016 TO: PACE Members FROM: Phil Wentz, PACE Board Chair SUBJECT: New PACE Trust Agreement Requires Board Action Oregon law requires that self-insured public entity programs be formed through an intergovernmental agreement between the participating entities. PACE’s original trust was adopted in 2006 and the Trustees just completed a review of the original trust and proposed a couple of changes to the OSBA Board of Directors. Now that the new PACE Declaration of Trust has been approved by the OSBA Board of Trustees, it is necessary to have all of the trust members have their boards adopt the Joinder of Trust Agreement. The Joinder of Trust Agreement is located on the last page of the enclosed Declaration of Trust. By signing the Joinder of Trust Agreement your board will be entering into an intergovernmental agreement with PACE. Before renewing in the PACE self-insured, property, and liability program, your board will need to adopt the enclosed Joinder of Trust Agreement and return a signed copy to PACE. We understand that this is not an easy task for PACE’s many members to accomplish, but we assure you we would not be taking this action if the Trustees did not feel it was absolutely necessary to protect the trust’s assets, which all of the members have helped build over the past 10 years. Following is the deadline for sending back the signed resolution to PACE by: June 30, 2016 Please return the signed resolution to [email protected] or FAX to (503) 371-4781 I am sure you and your board members will have questions about the new Trust Agreement. In anticipation of your questions, following are some frequently asked questions and answers for your reference. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What is my district’s financial risk as part of a self-insured program? The revised Declaration of Trust does not increase your district’s financial liability any more than you currently have under the existing Trust Agreement. The PACE Trust is a non-assessable trust. This means that your district can never be asked to contribute additional funds, other than your annual contributions, to cover your claims or the claims of any other member. It also means, though, that you are ultimately responsible for your own claims liabilities in the event the trust is not able to pay your claims. The PACE Trustees are dedicated to making sure this never happens by being extremely conservative with the amount of funds the trust retains to pay claims. Based on a certified actuary’s estimates, PACE has over $32 million to satisfy all claims liabilities. When not used in the day-to-day business operations, these funds are invested, which allows for reinvestment of PACE resources into programs that reduce members’ risks and keep rates low. In addition, the trust purchases reinsurance that puts a cap on the trust's and members' claims liability. Why is the Trust Agreement an intergovernmental agreement? Oregon law requires that for local governments to form their own self-insured programs they must do so by entering into an intergovernmental agreement. Intergovernmental agreements require each participating organization to have a resolution adopted by its Board of Directors. The enclosed Joinder of Trust Agreement can be considered a suggested board resolution. What are the primary differences between this new Trust Agreement and the original agreement? There are two substantive changes to the Trust Agreement. First, Trustees created a dispute resolution process in the new Trust Agreement that encourages the parties to resolve any disputes at the lowest possible level. Secondly, under the new agreement, Trustees will be allowed to serve up to three terms of three years, adding stability to the program and allowing Trustees the ability to apply the education they have received to the complexities of the insurance program. Why can't my district find a resolution adopting the original Trust Agreement? When the original Trust Agreement was created in 2006, the originators did not believe the Trust Agreement needed to be approved by the participating members. They had an opinion that the coverage documents issued to members at their insurance renewals were considered an intergovernmental agreement that was entered into with the members when the members paid their contributions. With changes in law and philosophy over time, we believe that the best course of action for the newly amended Declaration of Trust is for each member to sign a resolution agreeing to enter into the Trust Agreement as an intergovernmental agreement. What happens if my district does not adopt the resolution? Unfortunately, if your district does not adopt the Joinder of Trust Agreement, your district will no longer be able to participate in the property or liability program. Your district will not be able to renew its coverage in these programs when your current policy term expires. Whom should I contact if I have questions about the enclosed materials?

Dispute Resolution Process: (a) Appeal to Board of Trustees: In the event of any dispute arising from the operation of the Trust, the affected Member shall first appeal to the Trustees. In a matter relating to a claim under a Coverage Document, the appeal must be made within 30 days of the trust’s proposed resolution of the disputed claim unless otherwise provided in the Coverage Document. To institute an appeal, the Member must give written notice to the Chair or Vice-Chair of the Trust providing a written summary of the dispute, detailing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of the issues and the requested remedies. At the next scheduled Trust meeting or at such other time as determined by the Chair, the Trustees will review the matter, using procedures as promulgated by the Trust. The Trustees’s decision will be communicated to the Member within 90 days of the Trustees’s hearing the appeal. (b) Mandatory Mediation: If a dispute is not resolved by appeal to the Trust, it must be submitted to the Arbitration Services of Portland ("ASP"), or its successor, for mediation. The Trust or any Member may commence mediation by providing ASP and the other affected parties a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The Trust and each affected Member shall cooperate with ASP and with one another in selecting a mediator from the ASP panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. They agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and that they will share equally in the costs (the Trust will pay one half of the costs PACE Restated Trust Agreement 02-29-16 Page 10 of 13 and the other half will be paid by the affected Member, or if more than one Member, each shall contribute equally to that half or otherwise as they may agree). All of the offers, promises and conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any ASP employees, are confidential and privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, providing that evidence that is otherwise admissible and discoverable will not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. 12. (c) Mandatory Arbitration: If the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to ASP, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the rules for commercial arbitration for ASP. The Trust or a Member may initiate the arbitration with respect to the matter submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first ("Earliest Initiation Date"). The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties agree. At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date will either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement, except as provided by the rules of commercial arbitration for ASP or by agreement of the parties. All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after the Earliest Initiation Date. The parties will take such action, if any is required, to effectuate such tolling. The dispute will be settled by a single arbitrator. The parties will cooperate with ASP and with one another in selecting an arbitrator and in scheduling arbitration proceedings. Arbitration will occur in Salem, Oregon unless the parties otherwise agree. The parties will be entitled to conduct discovery in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, subject to limitation by the arbitrator to secure the just and efficient resolution of the dispute. If the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, the arbitrator's decision shall include a statement specifying in reasonable detail the basis for and computation of the amount of the award, if any. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. The party prevailing in the arbitration will also be entitled to recover any amount for his or her costs and attorney fees incurred in connection with the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. (d) Coverage Document Dispute Resolution: The dispute resolution provision in any Coverage Document shall apply for the matters to which such provisions are made applicable in the Coverage Document, and shall supersede the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 11. If a Coverage Document is silent, or the dispute resolution contained within it do not apply to a particular dispute, the dispute resolution provision of this Section 11 shall apply. Amendment: The OSBA Board of Directors reserves the right to alter, amend or terminate this Trust and the terms under which it exists at any time by a memorandum in writing delivered to the Trustees, provided any such change or termination shall not prejudice the rights of any participant with respect to any accrued right or claim. In order to advise the OSBA Board of Directors on any proposed material change to the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Trustees shall prepare an PACE Restated Trust Agreement 02-29-16 Page 11 of 13 impact statement to determine the financial impact, if any, on Trust operations and fiscal stability of the proposed changes to the Trust Agreement. The Trustees will provide a thirty (30) day notice to members by sending a written copy of the impact statement to the participating members. If any member of the Trust, by virtue of this impact statement can clearly show that a change to the provisions in this Trust Agreement will directly result in a significant financial detriment (e.g. Deterioration of operating ratios or trust reserves) they may withdraw from the Trust with any vested equity. 13. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be invalid, unenforceable or unconstitutional, the remainder of the provisions not subject to such adjudication shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect. 14. Joinders. Any joinder to this Agreement executed by a member will be deemed to be that member’s assent to the entirety of this Agreement, as if such had executed an original of this Agreement. 15. Indemnification: Trustees, officers and agents of the Trust shall use ordinary care and diligence in the exercise of their powers and in the performance of their duties. They shall not be liable for any mistakes of judgment or other action made, taken or omitted by them in good faith, nor for any action taken or omitted by any agent, employee or independent contractor selected with reasonable care, nor for loss incurred through investment of funds or failure to invest. No Trustee shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by any other Trustee. No Trustee shall be required to give a bond or other security to guarantee the faithful performance of their duties hereunder.

At that meeting, a question was asked about Multnomah Education Service District’s Burlingame Creek and why it was not listed. Burlingame Creek, the building that formerly housed an alternative high school, is an extension of Arata Creek. When the district refers a student with severe behavioral challenges to Arata Creek, the Arata Creek staff determine whether they will assign the student to the Arata Creek campus or the Burlingame Creek campus. To address the question and avoid confusion, the name Burlingame Creek has been added to Arata Creek on the list of programs attached. The program and the tuition cost for both campuses are the same. Upon board approval, these alternative programs will be the complete list of programs available for contract in the 2016-2017 school year. PRESENTER: Janell Black SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: List of Alternative Programs for 2016-2017 RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the attached list of alternative education programs for the 2016-2017 school year.
