Accept the proposed Board Policy amendments as a first reading, waive the second reading, and approve the revised Board Policies as presented. 

CSBA, through its Board Policy service, prepares comprehensive updates to insure compliance with statutory changes and/or provide clarity to existing policies.  By following CSBA guidelines, the District's Policies, Procedures and Bylaws incorporate the most up to date local/federal mandates and laws.  The Board Policies and Bylaws listed below have been reviewed by the Board Policy Subcommittee, staff, and Superintendent and are recommended for Board approval.

Additional attachments (s) may be included prior to the meeting.

Accept for information the quarterly report on the Williams Uniform Complaints from the Davis Joint Unified School District staff.

The Williams Uniform Complaint requires that all school districts report to their governing board and to the County Offices of Education on a quarterly basis.  Ed Code 35186(d) states “A school district shall report summarized data on the nature and resolution of all complaints on a quarterly basis to the county superintendent of schools and the governing board of the school district.  The summaries shall be publicly reported on a quarterly basis at a regularly scheduled meeting of the governing board of the school district.  The report shall include the number of complaints by general subject area with the number of resolved and unresolved complaints.  The complaints and written responses shall be available as public records.”

The quarter report is attached.  This form reflects only the required reporting elements.

Adopt Resolution No. 34-21 establishing the District's GANN Limit for the 2020-21 fiscal year at $67,275,020 and the recalculated appropriation, which is subject to limit for the 2019-20 fiscal year at $64,823,484.

In November of 1979, the California electorate adopted Proposition 4, commonly called the GANN Amendment, which added Article XIII-B to the California Constitution. The set of provisions of that article established maximum tax appropriation limitations, commonly called "GANN Limits," for public agencies, including school districts.

The GANN Limit is intended to constrain the growth in state and local government spending by linking year to year changes in expenditures to changes in inflation and population. Using 1978-79 as a base year, subsequent years’ limits have been adjusted for: (1) an inflation increase, which is currently equal to the annual change in California per capita personal income, and (2) the change in population, which for school agencies is the change in average daily attendance (ADA).

The District must establish a revised GANN Limit report each fiscal year in accordance with the provisions of this article. Applicable statutory law also requires Boards of Education to adopt the GANN Limit by resolution. DJUSD Resolution No. 34-21 establishes the District's GANN Limit for the 2020-21 fiscal year at $67,275,020 and the recalculated appropriation limit for the 2019-20 fiscal year at $64,823,484, per the attached calculations in the Unaudited Actuals Fiscal Year 2019-20 Form GANN.

The Board of Education gratefully accepts donations totaling $7,250 which have been received by the District since the Board of Education meeting held on June 25, 2020. A summary of gifts received is included in the Board packet.

This report constitutes the final State required accounting of Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) revenues and expenditures for the period beginning July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020. The District prepared this report using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as outlined for use in school districts by the California School Accounting Manual (CSAM). The final ending fund balance for each Accounting Fund has been rolled forward to this year’s 2020-21 budget beginning balance and becomes the updated Board Approved Operating Budget for each Accounting Fund.

Pursuant to Education Code section 42100, a copy of this report has been forwarded to the Yolo County Office of Education and will be forwarded to the State of California as the official actuals for DJUSD and will be the source of financial information for the California Department of Education Ed-Data website. It is also provided to the District's external financial auditors as the basis of the annual financial audit.

The full report and analysis are included as online supporting documents or are available for review in hard copy at the District Office.

A PowerPoint presentation and any other additional materials will be provided closer to the meeting date.

Hold a Public Hearing on Adequacy of Instructional Materials.

In order to be eligible to receive instructional materials funds, the Board of Education is required to hold an annual public hearing and subsequently adopt a resolution stating whether each pupil in the district has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials in specified subjects; and that those materials are aligned to the academic content standards; and that those materials are consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum frameworks adopted by the state board.  The specified subjects are English/Language Arts, Math, History/Social Science, Science, Foreign Language, and Health (Education Code 60119).

The community is invited to address the Board regarding Resolution 30-21 at a public hearing during the October 1, 2020 Board of Education meeting.
