Instructional Services - Student Rates for CVUSD 6th Grade Outdoor Education Program Meeting Sep 4, 2024 - Regular Board Meeting Category 3. ACTION ITEMS - GENERAL Type Action Recommended Action Approve the student rates for CVUSD's 6th Grade Outdoor Education Program, as submitted. Goals Goal 1: Implement targeted actions and services that support conditions for optimal learning, equitable access, and positive student outcomes. ISSUE: Should the Board approve the proposed increase to student rates for the 2024-2025 CVUSD Outdoor Education Program? INFORMATION: The student rate for 6th Grade Outdoor Education Program will increase to $275 for the 2024-2025 school year. This rate has not increased since 2017, whereby the rate increased from $225 to $250 dollars per student. The Outdoor Education program began in 1975 and has become part of the culture of CVUSD. The program originated as a culmination experience for sixth grade elementary school students. As the District transitioned to a middle school configuration, the Outdoor Education experience became a milestone middle school activity. In 2019, CVUSD Outdoor School moved to Camp Ramah in Ojai because Camp Bloomfield near Malibu was destroyed by local wildfires. It was previously anticipated that this student rate would need to be increased in future school years based on the increased costs for this program. Some of these increases of costs include: Rental Facility - The camp rental cost was $164,997 in the 2017-2018 school year, and $217,772 in the 2021-2022 school year - a 32% increase, and $253,448.00 in the 2023-2024 school year - an additional 15% increase. Staffing - The staffing costs remain very similar from the 2017-2018 to 2021-2022 school years. However, the compensation for Naturalists for the 2023-2024 school year was $17.50 hourly. This rate is lower than a large majority of other school district outdoor school programs in the region. In accordance with California Education Code 35335, a student fee may be imposed for school camp programs in outdoor science education, provided that the fee is not mandatory and no student is denied the opportunity to participate for nonpayment of the fee. The CVUSD Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) specifically provides additional funding for unduplicated students in order to assist families and to increase student participation. FISCAL IMPACT: An increase in rates is proposed to the Board of Education for the 2024-2025 school year. Respectfully submitted, Mark W. McLaughlin, Ed.D.
