In partnership with Healthy Davis Together, DJUSD intends to provide COVID Saliva testing to students and staff in the District at each school site. Positions associated with this program will be funded by the UC Davis Health Together partnership for a limited time. Individuals hired for these positions will be released upon termination of the program or program funding. We intend to hire two testing teams composed of one Supervisor, one Helpdesk Support provider and four Mass Kiosk Workers. The positions will be full-time positions. 

There will be no financial impact on the Davis Joint Unified School District as these positions will be grant funded. 

Education Code 35256 and BP 0510 state that the Board must annually issue a school accountability report card (SARC) for each school site.  In preparing the district's report cards, the district's current data was submitted via Document Tracking Services to the California Department of Education (CDE).  Data compiled in each school site's SARC includes:

• School and District Contact Information
• School Description and Mission Statement
• Opportunities for Parental Involvement
• School Safety Plan
• Facilities Inspection Results and Repair Status
• Teacher Credentials and Misassignments
• Textbooks and Instructional Materials
• Expenditures per Pupil
• Types of Services Funded
• Professional Development
• School Completion and Postsecondary Preparation (High Schools)
• Suspensions and Expulsions Data

1. DSA Inspector of Record Services - MCF Construction Services for DSA Inspector of Record Services for the Birch Lane, César Chávez, North Davis, and Willett Elementary Multipurpose Room projects.
   
   
2. Professional Services Agreement - Wallace Kuhl & Associates to provide materials inspection and testing services for the Birch Lane Elementary Multipurpose Room project.

Pursuant to Board Policy 3312 and California Education Code, all contracts and agreements must be approved and ratified by the Board of Education. The agreements are listed in the attachment section below and apply to the following Bond Program projects:

The cost detail of each agreement is posted in the attachments and budget has been allocated in the appropriate fund.

The official State Budget planning process for the next fiscal year starts with the January Governor’s Budget. This budget is used to begin District budget planning that will be considered in the Second Interim Budget Report presented on March 18, but the proposals will not be included in the District's budget until approved by the Legislature or awarded.  In May, there is a revision to the Governor’s Budget that will be used for the DJUSD 2021-2022 Adopted Budget.

The Governor's proposal includes revenue to fund the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) for inflation (COLA). As part of the LCFF funding formula, districts are also required to develop a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) concurrently with the budget, which will be presented to the Board for adoption in June.

LCFF revenue funds all areas of district needs, including:

• Employee Compensation
• State Pension Cost Increases (STRS and PERS employer rates)
• Inflation/Cost Increases
• K-3 Class Size regulations and local teacher staffing
• Deficit Spending Reduction
• Services/Goals for Student Learning (LCAP)

Our discussions during the budget planning cycle including the Local Control Accountability Plan and approved budget will need to address these needs while maintaining fiscal solvency.

The Governor's budget proposal also includes additional on-going and one-time funds for special education, COVID-19 relief, expanded learning, equity, student health and well-being, and early learning, as well as paying down two-thirds of on-going deferrals. 

Staff will provide a summary report of the Governor's January budget proposal and discuss possible impacts on DJUSD.

Projected impacts of proposed State Budget changes for the DJUSD budget in the 2021-2022 school year could result in a $2.3 million increase of on-going LCFF funding and increases for special education funding on-going and one-time.

Pursuant to Education Code 41020, school districts are required to submit an independent external audit in accordance with State and Federal audit guidelines. The governing board of each school district shall review, at a public meeting, their annual audit, including any audit exceptions, the recommendations or findings of any management letter issued by the auditor, and any corrective action plans.

The District's 2019-20 fiscal year audit was conducted by Crowe LLP.  A copy of the audit is attached below, and available for review in the Business Services Office. 

Crowe LLP conducted the audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require the auditor to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

In the auditor's opinion, the financial statements of Davis Joint Unified School District present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, as of June 30, 2020, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows. There were no reported audit exceptions or findings.

A representative from Crowe LLP will be in attendance at the meeting and available to answer questions.

Staff will provide an update to the Board of Education about the status of COVID-19 in Yolo County, and review progress on planning and action for return to campus for students and staff. Discussion will also include conditions for a return to campus and staff recommendations for the hybrid instructional models that have been developed by the DJUSD Staff Action Team and reviewed through the Superintendent’s Advisories stakeholder engagement process.

Any attachment(s) will be provided closer to the meeting date.
