Hear an update by staff on the plan for Career Technical Education (CTE), including a community engagement process to develop recommendations for future CTE programming in DJUSD. 

At the November 1st, 2018 meeting of the Board of Education, DJUSD staff presented an update to trustees on initial planning to build upon existing CTE programs and explore potential new pathways. The presentation included a rationale for reviewing and revising CTE programs, including the need for a stronger focus on workforce readiness, CTE's alignment with DJUSD goals, and student survey data that suggested limited career preparation opportunities. 

DJUSD staff will present a plan to engage community stakeholders, including the formation of a CTE Advisory Committee, to develop a recommendation for future CTE programs. The recommendation will tentatively be presented to the Board of Education by the Summer of 2019.

Approval of Board Resolution No. 38-19: Ordering Elimination or Reduction of Classified Positions for Lack of Work or Lack of Funds, and directing the Superintendent to notify Classified employees of layoff.

The District must annually eliminate Classified FTE funded through revenue sources which are uncertain for the following year (i.e., PTA, Site Council, Title I, EIA and DSF funded positions). It is recommended that the Board of Education approve Resolution No. 38-19 ordering the elimination or reduction of positions for the lack of work or lack of funds, or both, and direct the Superintendent to notify classified employees of layoffs not less than 60 days prior to the effective date of the elimination of these positions.

The reduction of 10.46 FTE would reduce expenditures by approximately $320,000, Site Councils, PTA's, and DSF may approve expenditures for the 2019-2020 school year in the coming months which would allow the District to rehire employees affected by this reduction.

Approval of Board Resolution No. 37-19: Ordering Elimination or Reduction of Certificated Positions for Lack of Work or Lack of Funds, and or directing the Superintendent to notify Certificated employee(s) of layoff. 

This release occurs as a result of the expiration of a specially funded program, when certificated positions must be eliminated at the end of any school year and certificated employee(s) will be subject to layoff for lack of funds.  The employee(s) to be laid off at the end of the school year shall be given notice on or before March 15 informing them of their layoff effective at the end of the school year and their displacement rights, if any, and reemployment rights.
