VII.b. AIM Master Plan Recommendation (7:25 p.m.)Was edited within 72 hours of the Meeting
Recommended Motion:

Approve staff recommendation to udpate the AIM Master Plan retesting policies in order to provide fair and appropriate opportunities for student AIM identification, one or more retesting options to be used in circumstances for which the universal testing may have hindered performance.

Additionally, the Superintendent is seeking Board input regarding the priority topic(s) for the 2015-16 school year

     *Review and Update the Screening Process (implementation of Risk Factors)

     *Additional limitations on private testing (clarified and/or new language)

     *Adjustment of eligibility score (considering the impact on underrepresented)

     *Impacts of the Lottery/Placement Procedures

     *Number of sites

     *Junior High School AIM program/High Achieving program

Rationale:
The district, due to the financial crisis, experienced a reduction in AIM staff and as a result the sole test utilized for re-screening of students who may qualify for AIM was the Test of Non-Verbal Intelligence (TONI). The district believes that a more broad scope of testing options available during the re-screening process will achieve the goal of providing a more fair and appropriate opportunity for AIM identification. 

Purpose statement:
In order to provide fair and appropriate opportunities for AIM identification, one or more retesting options will be used in circumstances for which the universal testing may have hindered performance. The district will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the assessment system.

Universal Testing
The district will continue to use the OLSAT 8 as the universal testing assessment for all 3rd grade DJUSD students whose parents do not opt them out.

Retesting
If a student would benefit from more than one of the retesting options below, the district staff will determine the most appropriate retest.

For students who would benefit from a non-verbal test and whose circumstances (income level, parent ed, SPED, primary language, OLSAT score-discrepancy in verbal/non-verbal scores) may have hindered their performance on the OLSAT 8, the district will consider administration of the TONI.

For students who would benefit and whose circumstances (discrepancy in verbal/non-verbal scores) may have hindered their performance on the OLSAT 8, the district may consider the administration of the Slosson R3, which is a subset of the WISC.

For students in the standard error of measure (+/- 5 percentile), the district will consider the administration of the Slosson R3.

Additional resources are required to provide 1-on-1 testing (WISC, DAS, Kauffman, Woodcock Johnson III, Slossen R3, or any other multi-domain mental reasoning test or any test that needs to be administered 1-on-1 for students, as appropriate, by a licensed psychologist(s).


Private testing guidelines (adopted in 2010-2011)
The following are current DJUSD private testing guidelines.

If a parent/student is seeking private testing by a licensed psychologist (test of mental reasoning), he/she must have an appointment, and then the family needs to obtain a Request for Outside Testing Form from the district prior to the appointment. The Request for Outside Testing Form is presented to the evaluator who must complete the affidavit that the evaluator only gave that test (and all sub tests) and that the student has not taken the test before. Students may take only one test from an outside evaluator per year. All testing result—accompanied by the signed Outside Evaluation Form may then be submitted to the district for consideration. (All local psychologists and CSUS know about the policy and will not test students if a form is not presented.

Students who are identified in a previous district (either by private or district testing) will maintain their AIM identification so long as their scores meet the DJUSD criteria.

VII.c. Magnet Programs (AIM Study) Summary and Update (7:55 p.m.)Was edited within 72 hours of the Meeting
Recommended Motion:
The Board of Trustees will receive the recently completed AIM (Magnet Program) study that was conducted by UC Davis researchers. 

This item is presented for information and discussion.

Rationale:

Following a 2013 discussion about the AIM/GATE lottery process the DJUSD Board of Trustees requested a study of DJUSD Magnet programs to better understand their effectiveness and impact on student outcomes. In response, DJUSD entered an MOU with UC researchers Scott Carrell and Marianne Page from UC Davis' School of Economics and Michal Kurlaender from UC Davis' School of Education to conduct a study of magnet programs, beginning with the DJUSD AIM program. The researchers donated their time and resources to conduct the study and completed the first phase in May 2015.

The researcher's analysis explores the following three questions:
 
1. Who is GATE/AIM identified in the Davis Joint Unified School District and how has this changed over time?
2. What is the causal impact of the AIM program on student academic achievement for students in the AIM program?
3. What are the causal effects of AIM on students not in AIM?

The study's written summary is divided into 6 sections that include:

1. Introduction
2. Background
3. Data 
4. Methods & Results
a. AIM Qualification and Program Participation
b. Academic Achievement Effects of AIM on Students in AIM
c. Academic Achievement Effects of AIM on Students not in AIM
5. Conclusion
6. References

Visual descriptions of the researched findings are represented through tables, charts and graphs.

The full study and the MOU are provided as backup attachments. 



 
Financial Impact:
This study did not have a financial impact on the DJUSD.  The UC Davis researchers donated their time and resources to provide this service.

VII.d. May Revision Budget Update (8:25 p.m.)
Recommended Motion:
Review and discuss the impact of the May Revise Budget Update. 

Rationale:

The updated State budget proposal has substantial funding changes for K-12 local district funding compared to the January proposal.

The Governor's budget continues to increase the proposed revenue to fund the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and payback mandated cost claims as one-time discretionary funds.

For 2015-16, the proposed budget contains funding for LCFF growth that calculates to $5m of on-going new funding and $4.6m in one-time discretionary funds. This is great news.

- The District has developed a spending plan that addresses the following needs:

  • Employee compensation
  • State mandated programs
    • Restricted maintenance
    • Pension rate increases (STRS & PERS)
    • Supplemental student programs (LCAP specific)
    • Class Size
  • Local programs
    • Budget deficit
    • Other LCAP priorities

While this is great news, it marks a high point in the K-12 education budget from Proposition 30 temporary State taxes and Proposition 98 restoration due to past reductions (maintenance factor). These two factors going forward will slow down the high revenue growth we have seen this year and projected for next year.

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

Rationale:
Under the provisions of the resolution establishing Community Facilities District No. 1 (CFD No. 1), the Board of Education is granted the authority to adjust the CFD No. 1 tax rate by a maximum of 4.63% per annum.  The purpose of the hearing is to allow the public to comment on the proposed adjustment of 4.63% to the current CFD No. 1 tax rate of $198.52.  The proposed rate when adjusted would amount to $207.72 per special tax unit. 

Subsequent to the public hearing, the Board of Education will be asked, as a separate action, to approve the change in the tax rate. 

 
Financial Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund.  Estimated revenue increase to restricted Facilities District Fund is $200,000 to be used for debt service payments.

VII.f. Approval of Community Facilities District No. 1 Tax Rate, 2015-2016 (9:00 p.m.)
Recommended Motion:
Approve the proposed adjustment of 4.63% to the current community Facilities District No. 1 tax rate which, when adjusted, will amount to $207.72 per special tax unit. 

Rationale:
As indicated in the Public Hearing regarding the proposed adjustment, under the provisions of the resolution establishing Community Facilities District No. 1 (CFD No. 1), the Board of Education is granted the authority to adjust the CFD No. 1 tax rate by a maximum of 4.63% per annum.  The proposed rate when adjusted would amount to $207.72 per special tax unit.  In accordance with the resolution establishing CFD No. 1, a public hearing has already been held to provide opportunity for public comments. 

A Facilities Plan has been discussed and approved in prior public Board meetings.  The projected cost components are based on an estimated revenue stream from CFD No. 1.  This revenue stream is estimated with full appreciation of the tax rate during the life span of the Facilities Plan. 

The projected tax revenue stream has been encumbered to cover outstanding debt obligations.

It is requested that the Board of Education approve the adjustment of the tax rate levied by CFD No. 1. 


 
Financial Impact:

VII.i. Public Hearing: Measure C Tax Rate, 2015-2016 (9:15 p.m.)
Recommended Motion:
Hold Public Hearing to receive comments regarding the 2015-2016 Measure C tax rate.

Rationale:
In March 2012, the District's voters approved an annual tax of $150.00 per unit for multi-dwelling units and $320.00 per parcel for all other parcels to augment the financing for certain school programs.  The resolution authorizing the tax (copy attached) calls for a public hearing prior to the assessment of the tax each fiscal year.  

The rate was adjusted in 2013-2014 in accordance with the Parcel Tax Measure’s adjustment for annual inflation.  The adjustment increased the annual tax from $150.00 to $153.30 per unit for multi-dwelling units and $320.00 to $327.04 per parcel for all other parcels which are the current rates. Rates were not adjusted for annual inflation in the 2014-15 fiscal year.

The district has the authority to increase the rates based on the latest California Price Index figures.  The rates can be increased by 1.3% to $155.29 per unit for multi-dwelling units and $331.29 per parcel for all other parcels. 




 
Financial Impact:
Possible increase in local parcel tax revenue of approximately $83,000.

The current parcel tax (Measure C) rates are $153.30 per unit for multi-dwelling units and $327.04 per parcel for all other parcels.

The Board of Education can approve the parcel tax (Measure C) rates up to $155.29 per unit for multi-dwelling units and $331.29 per parcel for all other parcels.

VII.k. Public Hearing: Measure E Tax Rate, 2015-2016 (9:25 p.m.)
Recommended Motion:
Hold Public Hearing to receive comments regarding the 2015-2016 Measure E tax rate.

Rationale:

In November 2012, the District's voters approved an annual tax of $20.00 per dwelling unit for multi-dwelling parcels and $204.00 per parcel for all other parcels, to augment the financing for certain school programs.  The resolution authorizing the tax (copy attached) calls for a public hearing prior to the assessment of the tax each fiscal year.  

Due to a court decision, Resolution No. 24-14 was passed in August 2013 (copy attached) authorizing an annual tax of $204.00 per parcel of taxable real property.

The district has the authority to increase the rate in accordance with the Parcel Tax Measure’s adjustment for annual inflation based on the latest California Price Index figures.  Rates were not adjusted for annual inflation in the 2014-15 fiscal year.

The current rate can be increased by 1.3% to $206.65 per parcel of taxable real property.




 
Financial Impact:
Possible increase in local parcel tax revenue of approximately $40,000.
