Approve submission of the Request for Allowance of Attendance Due to Emergency Conditions (Form J-13A) for DJUSD to the California Department of Education.

The District received an anonymous threat that a gun would be brought and used at Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High on November 17, 2017.  The Davis police were contacted and the decision was made to close the site for the safety of students and staff.  The Holmes site had a make up day for attendance, but the following sites experienced a material decrease in overall attendance on November 17 and the District is requesting allowance at these sites for attendance:  Birch Lane Elementary, Ralph Waldo Emerson Junior High School, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper Junior High School, North Davis Elementary School and Martin Luther King High School.

Engage in a discussion regarding a potential general obligation bond on the November 2018 ballot to fund facilities projects prioritized as part of the District Facilities Master Plan (FMP) process.  Review a draft resolution, which can be approved or amended by the Board of Education ordering a school bond election on November 6, 2018.  Provide staff direction on final resolution and specific ballot language for approval on June 14, 2018.

In the Fall of 2017, the Board of Education authorized LPA, Inc. to create an updated Facilities Master Plan for the Davis Joint Unified School District. A Facilities Master Plan is the guiding facilities document which allows deferred maintenance, modernization and new construction to be completed in a way that maximizes and aligns the District’s limited facilities dollars with District goals and needs. A draft of the Facilities Master Plan was reviewed and discussed at the May 17, 2018 Board meeting and will be finalized on June 14, 2018.

A draft bond resolution has been developed in alignment with the draft Facilities Master Plan and subsequent Board of Education direction, for a potential facilities bond to be placed on the November 2018 State General Election.

To meet the Yolo County Elections Office timeline for the November 2018 General Election, the Board must approve a tax resolution no later than June 30, 2018. This bond  discussion will provide staff direction for producing the final parcel bond resolution and ballot language to be approved at a subsequent meeting.

This is an update of the World Language Task Force authorized by a motion from the Board of Education. This update contains information on the progress made by the World Language Task Force from October 5, 2017 through April 30, 2018.  The DJUSD is thankful to all the 20 community members and staff that have and continue to meet monthly to share their views and ideas on this important project.

The updated State budget proposal has slightly better revenue projections for K-12 local district funding from the January proposal.

The Governor's budget continues to increase the proposed revenue to fund the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and payback mandated cost claims as one-time discretionary funds. It also includes increased transparency reporting for the LCAP process.

For 2018-19, the proposed budget contains slightly more funding for LCFF than the January Proposal. It also includes some additional one-time discretionary funds.

- The District will develop a spending plan for next year that addresses the following needs;

• Required (State/Local) Expenditures
  • Employee compensation (Impact of collective bargaining agreements)
  • State pension cost increases (STRS and PERS employer rates)
  • Restricted maintenance (State requirement)
  • Inflation/Cost increases
  • Teacher and student support staffing
  • Services/Goals for student learning (LCAP)
  • Deficit spending

The May Revision is built on the assumption of continued revenue growth over the next four years. DJUSD staffing and program costs will continue to outpace these gains from the State over this same period and will need to find local solutions to enhance revenue sources and continue to carefully prioritize spending to balance the budget and eliminate the deficit spending.

While the Governor continues to stress the likelihood of a recession in the near future, the State forecast does not project a recession. If a recession occurs State revenues could drop below prior-year levels, and cuts to education could be on the table again.  Fiscal caution is advised.

Staff will provide a summary report of the Governor's May revise and possible impacts on DJUSD.

Impacts of State Budget changes for the DJUSD budget in the 2018-19 school year include a possible net funding increase of $3.9 Million in LCFF funding and a possible $2.6 Million one-time discretionary funding payment.  These revenues were previously projected from the January Budget to cover the financial impact of the approved collective bargaining agreements.

Hold Public Hearing to receive comments regarding the 2018-2019 Measure H tax rate.

In November 2016, the District's voters approved an annual tax of $620.00 per parcel for all parcels to augment the financing for certain school programs.  The resolution authorizing the tax (Resolution 59-16 attached) calls for a public hearing prior to the assessment of the tax each fiscal year.   

As indicated in the Public Hearing, under the provisions of the resolution setting forth the specifications of the Measure H parcel tax, the Board of Education must conduct a public hearing and then approve the tax rate annually.  The public hearing was held on May 31, 2018 prior to the Board action.

The current projected revenue for the 2018-2019 fiscal year is approximately $9.9 million which includes a projected 2.6% rate increase.

The current parcel tax (Measure H) rate is $620.00 per parcel for all parcels.

The Board of Education can approve the parcel tax (Measure H) $639.84 per parcel for all parcels.

This increase is aligned with the current budget revenue projections and increases in annual costs.
