I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SINCE 2014, SO IN MY THIRD TERM THIS YEAR. MY WHY IS THE SAME AS IT HAS BEEN SINCE I STARTED AND SINCE I STARTED BEING A TEACHER AND THAT IS I BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION IS THE UNDER PINNING OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND THAT TEACHERS AND SCHOOL COMMUNITIES MAKE ALL OTHER PROFESSIONS POSSIBLE. SO, MY WHY IS JUST TO BE A PART THAT, TO BE A PART OF THE CHANGE AND HONORED TO SERVE AND I HOPE I MADE SOME DIFFERENCE >> MY NAME IS GENEVIEVE FLORES-HARO AND STARTING YEAR ON BOARD OF TRUST EASE. VERY PROUD TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BECAUSE I MYSELF AM A GRADUATE OF THE DISTRICT. THE DISTRICT IS MY HOME AND COMMUNITY, WHERE MY MOM TAUGHT AND COUNSELOR OVER 14 YEARS. MY BROTHERS ATTENDED SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT AND I FELT IT WAS TIME TO GIVE BACK TO A DISTRICT THAT HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH AND SO FORTUNATE TO DO SO. >> MY NAME IS ESTRADA AND MY FIRST YEAR AS BOARD TRUSTEE OXNARD UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT. MY WHY FOR SERVING ON THE BOARD IS BECAUSE I FEEL WE NEED STRONG LEADERSHIP. SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTAND SCHOOL, READY TO LISTEN TO STUDENT AND FAMILIES AND CONNECT WITH THEM. I GREW UP IN A SIMILAR COMMUNITY. I ATTENDED PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC UNIVERSITY AND I WANT TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITIES AND STRENGTHEN THE PARTNERSHIPS TO THE BEST CAPACITY THAT I CAN. LOVE THIS WORK AND I LOOK FORWARD GOING TO ALL THE SCHOOLS AND MEETING EVERYONE. >> MY NAME IS ELIZABETH BOTELLO TRUSTEE AREA 1 FOR OXNARD HIGH SCHOOL AND HUENEME BUT STARTED FOUR YEARS AGO AND JUST CELEBRATING MY SECOND TERM ON THE BOARD. MY WHY HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUR STUDENTS. I ACTUALLY WAS A TEACHER AT OXNARD HIGH SCHOOL A FEW YEARS AND LEAVING THE DISTRICT AND GOING TO ADMINISTRATOR SOMEWHERE ELSE LOCALLY. MY HEART WAS BROKEN SOMEWHAT BECAUSE I JUST MISS MY KIDS AND WANTING TO MAKE DO GOOD WORKING FOR THEM. THEY ARE THE CHANGE MAKERS AND WANT TO ADVOCATE ALL THE TIME. THEY ARE THE WHY, SPECIAL POPULATION ARE WHY, I'M OXNARD RESIDENT SO WANT TO EMPOWER OUR YOUTH AND WANT THEM TO DREAM BIG DREAMS AND MAKE REALITY. >> LINDA BAKER TORRES AND SERVE IN NOVEMBER 2022. THIS DISTRICT GAVE ME SO MUCH SO I WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE DISTRICT. I MET MY HUSBAND THROUGH THE DISTRICT. WE HAD OUR 3 KIDS, THEY WENT THROUGH RIO MESA. THE STAFF MY COLLEAGUES, MANY NOW ARE LIFELONG FRIENDS. THEY WERE WITH ME AND MY FAMILY ON THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. THEY WERE ALSO THERE ON THE HARDEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. THE DAYS WHEN I LOST MY BROTHER MY DAD AND MOTHER IN LAW AND THE STAFF AND COMMUNITY AND COLLEAGUES AND FAMILY, THE OUHSD FAMILY WAS THERE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THAT IS WHY I WANTED TO SERVE.

WE WILL CONSIDER THE CONSENT CALENDAR WITHOUT 5016927614 WITHIN ITEM 12 A FOR $160. DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> MOVE TO PROVE. >> SECOND. >> I WANTED TO PULL TWO ITEMS. >> PULL FOR DISCUSSION? >> YES, PULL FOR DISCUSSION. ITEM V BORD POLICY 5144 AND ITEM W, 5144.1. >> AMEND MY MOTION. >>IA GREE WITH THAT. >> WE CONSIDER THE CONSENT CALENDAR WITHOUT THE CHECK WARRANT MENTIONED AND PULLING V AND W FOR DISCUSSION, FIRST AND SECOND MADE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> ALRIGHT. MOTION PASSES 5-0. WE CAN DO V AND W. WE CAN START WITH ITEM B. >> SO, I WANT TO HAVE A OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE GENERAL DISCUSSION ON BOARD POLICY 5144 ON DISCIPLINE, AND DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN PUT TOGETHER A MOTION TO AMEND TO CLARIFY THE AREAS ON SUSPENSION DETERMINATIONS AND EXPULSION REQUEST SO THOSE REQUESTS ARE MORE ORGANIZED, THERE IS TRANSPARENCY AND CLARITY ON THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES PROVIDED AND REASONS WHY THE MEASURES WERE DETERMINED TO HAVE FAILED, AND HOW THOSE PROPOSED EXPULSIONS HAVE A LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THE STUDENT SUCCESS. A LOT OF THE ELEMENTS ARE ALREADY PRESENT IN THE POLICY, I WANT TO HAVE A BROADER DISCUSSION ABOUT MAYBE MAKING THAT LITTLE CLEARER AS FAR AS HOW THAT IS DOCUMENTED. YOU WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT THE NEXT ONE TOO? >> JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR THE MINUTES, IT IS V LIKE VICTIM AND W LIKE WATER? V LIKE VICTOR. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE DISCUSSION NOW TRUSTEE ESTRADA? >> YES. >> PRESIDENT FLORES-HARO, TRUSTEE ESTRADA, IF YOU CAN GIVE STAFF DIRECTION AS TO WHERE IN THE POLICY THE LANGUAGE YOU LIKE STAFF TO LOOK AT A-MINDING IS LOCATED AND WHAT WE CAN DO IS TAKE SOME DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD DISCUSSION ON WHAT IS PRESENT AND THEN THE BOARD CAN CONSIDER WHAT MIGHT BE AMENDED. >> THANK YOU DR. MCCOY. TRUSTEE SHER. >> THIS IS SECOND READ IF NOT MISTAKEN, CORRECT DR. MCCOY. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> THIS BOARD POLICY IS IT BEING REVISED DUE TO CSB A UPDATES THEMSELVES OR--THAT'S GENERALLY WHY WE UPDATE BOARD POLICY. THIS COMES FROM CSBA. OKAY. THE THINGS IN RED ARE INCLUDED BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING ASKED TO INCLUDE THEM BY CSB A. >> CORRECT AND THEY ARE RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN THE TEXT WITH ONE EXCEPTION. USES THE LANGUAGE OR DESIGNEE AND IN THE OXNARD UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT WE NAME THE TITLE OF THE DESIGNEE. >> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT OUT OF THIS POLICY BASED ON CSB A RECOMMENDATIONS? >> NO. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE SHER. TRUSTEE ESTRADA. >> SO, ON THE 4TH PARAGRAPH BEGINNING ON DISCIPLINARY MEASURES THAT IS SAYS DISCIPLINARY MEASURES THAT MAY RESULT IN INSTRUCTIONAL TIME OR DISENGAGED FROM SCHOOL SUCH AS DETENTION SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION IMPOSED WHEN REQUIRED OR PERMITTED BY LAW OR WHEN OTHER MEANS OF CORRECTION HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED TO HAVE FAILED AND THE EDUCATION CODES ARE LISTED THERE. THAT IS WHERE I THOUGHT IT MIGHT USE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION AS FAR AS STAFF DIRECTION THAT THOSE DETERMINATIONS BE DOCUMENTED AS I SHARED EARLIER. I UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE WERE THE CSB A RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT ON A LOCAL LEVEL AGAIN, JUST INSURING THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE SINCE THESE POLICIES DON'T COME UP OFTEN TO REVISE, SO THAT WAS REALLY THE CONCERN I HAD. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WHERE IT SAYS OTHER MEANS OF CORRECTION, LIKE PUTTING PARENTHESIS AND ADD ALTERNATE MEANS OF CORRECTION WE OFFER AT SCHOOL SITES, IS THAT A POTENTIAL SUGGESTION? >> YES, SO THE THOUGHT WAS JUST HAVING AN ORGANIZED DOCUMENT LISTING THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AND REASON FOR FAILURE DETERMINATION. RATHER THEN THE OPEN LANGUAGE THAT IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. >> TRUSTEE SHER. >> THANK YOU. SO, MY OPINION IS THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DO THAT AND FOLLOWING THE CSB A RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE LIKE PROTOCOL AND HOW WE HAVE DONE THINGS, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IF THERE WAS CONCERN WE ARE LEAVING SOMETHING OUT THAT SUPERINTENDENT WOULD CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, RATHER THEN TRUSTEES LISTING-I WOULD-I THINK-IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL, BUT LEAVING UP TO THE SUPERINTENDENT DISCRETION. >> WHAT WE COULD SUGGEST IS, THE BOARD POLICIES ARE DESIGNED TO BE MORE BROAD. THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION IS DESIGNED TO BE LOCALLY FOCUSED, SO ONE SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT WE COULD LOOK INTO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION WHERE THERE IS TYPICALLY MORE DETAIL AND CLARITY, MEANING THE BOARD POLICY CAN ACCESS TO THE EDUCATION CODE AND RELEVANT OTHER BOARD POLICIES AS YOU SEE IN THE PARAGRAPH. THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION IS MORE A OPERATIONAL PLAN. THOSE DON'T TYPICALLY COME TO THE BOARD, BUT WE HAVE BROUGHT ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS TO THE BOARD IN THE PAST ON DIFFERENT TOPICS TO HAVE THE BOARD DISCUSS OUR OPERATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BOARD'S POLICIES. ONE SUGGESTION MIGHT BE IN THIS CASE, THAT, WHERE WE WOULD GO INTO A GREATER DETAIL OR PROVIDE GREATER CLARITY MIGHT BE BETTER PLACE THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION IF YOU THINK BOARD POLICY AS UMBRELLA AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION WOULD BE WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SITE ADMINISTRATORS REFER TO THE IMPLEMENT THE POLICY. THAT IS ONE SUGGESTION. >> TRUSTEE SHER AND THEN TRUSTEE BOTELLO. >> I MOVE TO APPROVE AS SECOND READ AND IF SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS STAFF BELIEVES THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO OUTLINE THE OTHER TRUSTEE CONCERN IN ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION, LEAVING UP TO YOU, BUT I MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THIS AS IS. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE SHER. TRUSTEE BOTELLO. >> COMMENT AND MAYBE ADDITION. WHERE IT SAYS OTHER MEANS OF CORRECTION FOR BACKGROUND AS A ADMINISTRATOR WHEN YOU DO THE DISCIPLINE ON SAY FOR A STUDENT YOU DO THE PULL DOWN MENU IT SAYS AS OPTION OTHER MEANS OF CORRECTION AND THAT IS WHERE THE INFORMATION HAS TO BE OUTLINED BECAUSE EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT, SO YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE DETAILS IN THAT SPACE SO THIS IS MORE LIKE A UMBRELLA TERM. I WAS PUTTING UP FOR CONSIDERATION THE SECOND PAGE WHERE IT SAYS SUPERINTENDENT OR ASSISTANT SHALL CREATE A MODEL DISCIPLINE MATRIX THAT LIST VIOLATION AND CONSEQUENCE ALLOWED BY LAW. POTENTIALLY WE CAN PUT CREATE A MEANS OF ALTERNATIVE CORRECTION LIST OUR METRIC THAT LIST THE DIFFERENT CORRECTIONS WE CAN PROVIDE TO STUDENTS THROUGH OUHSD OR BY LAW. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. >> SO, IF WE WERE TO CONSIDER THAT SUGGESTION AND WHAT WE COULD DO IS, HAVE A SENTENCE THAT SAYS CREATE A MODEL DISCIPLINE AND ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF CORRECTION METRIC THAT LIST OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS VIOLATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES FOR EACH ALLOWED BY LAW, THAT IS ONE CHANGE WE COULD MAKE TO THIS POLICY LANGUAGE THAT COULD BE AMENDED AS PART OF THE MOTION TONIGHT OR DO IT ANOTHER TIME. THE METRIC WOULD BE AND SHOULD BE AS WE DEVELOP THIS BECAUSE THIS IS NEW LANGUAGE AND NEW LAW, PART OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION SO WHERE YOU SEE THE METRIC WITH DETAILS WOULD BE WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION AND THEN THE BOARD COULD CONSIDER WHETHER THIGH WANTED TO SEE AND REVIEW AND APPROVE THE REGULATION WHICH ISN'T REQUIRED BY LAW BUT COULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD. >> I WILL AMEND MY MOTION TO INCLUDE DR. MCCOY'S RECOMMENDATION. JUST A FIRST, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A SECOND. >> DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> I SECOND THAT. >> SECOND BY TRUSTEE ESTRADA. GREAT. SO, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> OPPOSED? ABSTENTIONS? MOTION CARRIES. MOVING TO ITEM W. >> THANK YOU. AGAIN, THIS POLICY THAT IS ALIGNED TO THE PREVIOUS IS JUST A OPPORTUNITY AGAIN FOR DISCUSSION AND CLARIFYING THE PROCESS FOR THE BOARD AUTHORITY ON APPROVING THE EXPULSION REQUEST AND SO, I REALLY JUST WANT TO HAVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE EXPULSIONS AS PART OF THE CONSENT AGENDA RATHER THEN VOTED ON IN CLOSED SESSION. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE ESTRADA. DR. MCCOY. >> SO, WE CURRENTLY APPROVE EXPULSIONS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR, SO THOSE WERE JUST APPROVED FOR TONIGHT. WITHOUT DISCUSSING ANY INDIVIDUAL CASE, THE CLOSED SESSION AGENDA ALLOWS THE BOARD TO DISCUSS ISSUES OF STUDENTS DISCIPLINE AND ISSUES THAT ARE NON DISCIPLINARY RELATED TO STUDENTS TO INSURE THE STUDENT PRIVACY. WE HAVE A LEAGUE OPINION OUR CURRENT METHOD OF APPROVING EXPULSIONS IS VALID. WE DONT HAVE VIOLATIONS OF LAW INCLUDING THE BROWN ACT. NOW WE CAN CONDUCT THAT BUSINESS. THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT, WHICH IS TO DISCUSS AND VOTE ON CASES INDIVIDUALLY IN CLOSED SESSION AND REPORT OUT THOSE VOTES WHEN WE COME BACK FROM CLOSED SESSION FOR EXAMPLE TONIGHT WE HAD NOTHING TO REPORT. IF WE DID IN THE OTHER WAY AND IT IS DONE BASICALLY THE WAY WE DO IT OR OTHER WAY IN DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE. THERE IS NO PARTICULAR MODEL AND WE HAVE CONFIRMED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL WHAT WE ARE DOING IS MEETS THE TEST OF THE LAW WHEN IT COMES TO HOW THE AGENDA IS BUILT AND BROWN ACT AND INSURING STUDENT PRIVACY AND ONLY APPROPRIATE TOPICS DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION, SO THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING SINCE IT IS ISSUE OF HOW WE BUILD THE AGENDA, THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT DISCUSS WITH STAFF IN AGENDA SETTING WHERE WE CAN DETERMINE IF WE WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THE WAY WE CONDUCT THE BUSINESS AROUND EXPULSIONS. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY A PLACE IN THE POLICY TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE AGENDIZE THE ITEMS, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS IT COULD BE DONE. THAT'S THE INFORMATION STAFF HAS ON THIS ITEM. >> THANK YOU DR. MCCOY. TRUSTEE BOTELLO. >> DR. MCCOY, ARE YOU PROPOSING POTENTIALLY THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO-HAVE THE STUDENTS ID NUMBER, HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY A STUDENT IF WE BROUGHT THAT BACK TO OPEN SESSION? >> SO, IF WE WERE TO CHANGE TO THAT METHOD, TRUSTEES CONSIDER EACH CASE IN CLOSED SESSION, THE REPORT OUT WOULD BE BY STUDENT ID NUMBER AND WE WOULD REPORT OUT THE VOTE EITHER-YOU CAN REPORT OUT AS A SLATE IF ALL THE VOTES WERE 5-0, IF THERE WAS A 3-2 VOTE YOU REPORT THE NAMES OF THESE THREE TRUSTEES IN SUPPORT, THESE TWO OPPOSED AND THAT'S THE CURRENT PRACTICE THAT WE DO WHEN WE DO PERSONNEL ITEMS AND WE REPORT OUT IF THE VOTE ISN'T UNANIMOUS WE REPORT OUT IN FAVOR OF TRUSTEES, A BC AND OPPOSED D AND E. IT ISN'T UNUSUAL AS PRACTICE FOR US, BUT AGAIN, JUST AS WE REVIEWED IT, DR. KELSEN AND I IT IS REFLECTIVE OF A DECISION WE MADE AS FAR AS THE AGENDA IS CONSTRUCTED VERSUS THE POLICY IS CONSTRUCTED AND HOW WE READ IT. >> OKAY. HISTORICALLY HAVE WE EVER DONE THAT GONE IN THAT DIRECTION OR THIS IS ALWAYS BEEN? >> JUST IN MY EXPERIENCE OVER 10 YEARS THIS HAS BEEN THE METHOD WE CURRENTLY USE WAS THE ONE I INHERITED WHEN BECAME SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICE. 2015 MAYBE WHY 2015 IS ON MY MIND TONIGHT. WE HAVE NOT HAD LEGAL CHALLENGES OR ISSUES FROM THEN TO NOW. THAT DOESN'T MEAN DISCUSSION HOW WE BUILD THE AGENDA SHOULDN'T BE HAD. >> THANK YOU. >> TRUSTEE SHER. >> I I AGREE THIS IS MATTER OF AGENDA SETTING. I ALSO PRE-DATE THAT 2015. WE HAVE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE WITH REGARD TO REPORTING OUT LIKE THAT. I DO HAVE CONCERN, GREAT CONCERN OVER CONFIDENTIALITY NUMBERS. ONE NAY KNOW MAY KNOW THE ID NUMBER OF A STUDENT AND GAIN INFORMATION. I SAY ID NUMBERS ARE NOT THE WAY. THERE IS A SENSE OF CONFIDENTIALITY BECAUSE OTHER STUDENT IT ISN'T LIKE THIS HAPPENS IN A VACUUM WHEN THERE IS DIFFICULTY ON A CAMPUS AND A STUDENT IS NO LONGER IN A CLASSROOM OR ON A SCHOOL CAMPUS, IT IS NOT LIKE NOBODY ELSE KNOWS. WHEN THOSE THINGS COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND WE ARE REPORTING OUT INFORMATION AS HOW ONE TRUSTEE VOTES AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER, THEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PARENTAL AND FAMILY INVOLVEMENT AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. THAT IS NOT ONLY A VIOLATION OF A STUDENT AND FAMILY RIGHT, BUT ALSO A TRUSTEE'S RIGHT BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IN CLOSED SESSION STAYS IN CLOSED SESSION. EVERY STUDENT AND PARENT HAS A RIGHT TO APPEAL EXPULSION OR SUSPENSION AND CAN COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND EVERY RIGHT TO MEET IN CLOSED SESSION. I HAVE A ENORMOUS CONCERN OVER THIS WAY OF REPORTING OUT AND JUST FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH MY OPINION, BUT I THINK IT IS WITH REGARD TO AGENDA SETTING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU TRUSTEE SHER. I THINK I WILL ADD THAT I KNOW IT IS DIFFERENT GOVERNING BODY, BUT WITH VENTURA COUNTY THEY ONLY HEAR THE CASES IN OPEN SESSION IF THE PARENT REQUEST IT. THE PARENTS HAVE TO REQUEST IT. OUTSIDES THAT I FEEL DISCOMFORT REPORTING OUT. TRUSTEE ESTRADA AND TRUSTEE BOTELLO. >> I HAVE DEEP APPRECIATION FOR CONFIDENTIALITY, I THINK AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED TO BE CLEAR HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE EXPELLED FROM THE DISTRICT AND EACH SITE. I THINK THAT'S A CRITICAL BALANCE I LIKE TO EXPLORE AND SOME WAY MAKING SURE THE PUBLIC IS INFORMED AND THEN THAT WOULD ALSO ALIGN TO WHAT RESOURCES WE ARE PROVIDING TO INSURE THAT THAT IS MINIMIZED. >> THANK YOU. DR. MCCOY. >> ONE WAY WE COULD-FOR EXAMPLE IN THE NON PUBLIC SCHOOL PLACEMENTS, WE DO A METRIC HOW MANY STUDENT ARE PLACED AND THE NUMBERS A YEAR AGO AND THE NUMBERS NOW AND YOU SEE THAT ON THE COVER PAGE TONIGHT IN THE LINE ITEM ON CONSENT CALENDAR AND THAT'S NOT RELATED TO ANY STUDENT BUT A STRAIGHT NUMBER LIKE NUMBER OF STUDENTS REQUESTING, 3 CASES, TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES, 25 LAST YEAR, 39 SHOWING REDUCTION. WE COULD CONSIDER A METRIC ON THE COVER PAGE THAT IS ON THE CONSENT THAT ONLY SHOW THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT ARE DISCUSSED AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF EXPULSIONS TO DATE AND THEN THE PRIOR YEAR NUMBERS, SO AS ONE OF THE BOARD GOAL IS REDUCE EXPULSIONS BY 10 PERCENT AND HOPING TO OVER ACHIEVE THAT NUMBER AND THAT IS FOCUS OF THE BOARD'S THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR WRIT IN IN THE BOARD GOALS SO THAT IS SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN MODIFY THE CONSENT COVER PAGE TO SHOW THE CASES AND COMPARE TO PRIOR YEAR IF THAT WAS A DIRECTION THE BOARD WANTED TO GIVE US. >> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE BOTELLO AND TRUSTEE SHER. >> THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. I WANT TO GIVE BACKGROUND FROM THE STUDENT AND FAMILY PERSPECTIVE. GETTING TO EXPULSION IS PAINFUL FOR THE FAMILY NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR THE STUDENT AND THAT IS VERY PERSONAL SO ECHOING WHAT OTHER TRUSTEES SAID, BUT A LOT OF LEG WORK BACKGROUND INFORMATION ADMINISTRATOR STAFF WORK WITH THE STUDENT YEARS OR WHATEVER THE SITUATION OR THE TIMELINE, IT IS JUST VERY SENSITIVE. THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THE TRUSTEE. DR. MCCOY, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW THE STATE OR HOW WE REPORT OUT SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION TO THE PUBLIC? >> SO, WE DO ANNUALLY REPORT EXPULSION AS A CRITERIA ON THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD AND EVERY YEAR WE WITH HAVE A MEASUREMENT IN THE DASHBOARD IS BASED ON COLOR AND THE DASHBOARDS TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES AND ALSO REFLECTS THOSE CASES BY DIFFERENT RACE ETHNICITY CATEGORIES FOSTER YOUTH ALSO SPECIAL EDUCATION THAT THE STATE TRACKS, AND THEN WE ARE TO ALWAYS ENDEAVOR TO TRY TO IMPROVE OUR REDUCE EXPULSIONS BY THIS YEAR IMPROVE OUR RESTORATIVE PRACTICES AND MEANS OF CORRECTION. WE REPORT OUT THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD ANNUALLY. THERE IS LONGITUDINAL DATA ON THE EXPULSION NUMBERS ON THE DATA QUEST, WHICH IS A CALIFORNIA DATA WEBSITE. THAT IS ONE TO 2 YEARS IN ARREARS. THOSE ARE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE INTERNET. >> THANK YOU. ANY TIME ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHETHER A PARENT OR COMMUNITY MEMBER CAN GO ON TO THAT DASHBOARD FROM THE STATE AND SEE HOW WE ARE DOING COMPARED TO OTHERS, AND HOW WE HAVE DONE COMPARED TO YEARS PAST. THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE IN SOME OTHER WAY BESIDES US REPORTING OUT ON A WEEKLY OR MONTHLY BASIS. >> YES, AND WHAT WE DO ANNUALLY WHEN WE REPORT ON PROGRESS TO THE BOARD GOALS ANNUALLY IN AUGUST WE DO A BASICALLY METRIC AND REVIEW WITH THE BOARD THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR THAT JUST CONCLUDED AND THEN WHETHER WE WERE IMPROVING OR NOT IMPROVING IN TERMS OF TOTAL NUMBER OF EXPULSIONS THAT CASES THAT WERE ISSUED BY THE DISTRICT IN THE PRIOR SCHOOL YEAR AND HELPS SET THE GOAL FOR THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR. >> STUDENT TRUSTEE SANCHEZ AND TRUSTEE BAKER TORRES. >> I WANT TO ADD ON A STUDENT PERSPECTIVE, I FEEL IT IS VERY SENSITIVE INFORMATION. IT IS JUST A STUDENT ID NUMBER BUT IT IS A WAY WE IDENTIFY AS TEACHER AS WELL. TEACHER AIDS HAVE ACCESS TO NOT ONLY THAT [INDISCERNIBLE] BUT ALL THE TEACHER PERIODS, SO SAY A STUDENT AT A SCHOOL WITH 6 PERIOD HAS ACCESS TO STUDENT ID OF ALL STUDENTS ALL 6 PERIODS WHICH COULD BE A LIABILITY IN THE SITUATION WHERE THEY CAN IDENTIFY THE STUDENT THAT HAS BEEN EXPELLED AND RUMOR START AND IT COULD GET A LOT WORSE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE STUDENT AND COULD TEXT THE STUDENT AND ASKING WHAT HAPPENED AND JUST DISRESPECTING THAT STUDENT PRIVACY AND AS WELL I FEEL SOME TEACHERS HAVE STUDENT ID UP TO IDENTIFY OUR TEXT BOOK OR CALCULATORS SO STUDENTS CAN SAY I RECOGNIZE THAT NUMBER. IN MY CLASS. THEY START ANALYZING WHO IT WAS AND IT IS COULD CREATE A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT IN THAT CLASSROOM EVEN WITH THE STUDENT GONE, BECAUSE IT WOULD CREATE A SENSE OF CONVERSATION DISTRACTING FROM OUR LEARNING TIME ESSENTIALLY. FROM A STUDENT POINT OF VIEW, I THINK INVASION OF PRIVACY. >> I THINK YOU ARE ASKING FOR PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE TO PUT 3 OR 5 OR WHATEVER THE NUMBER IS ON THE LINE FOR THE NUMBER OF EXPULSIONS. >> YES, WE COULD PUT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE PUBLIC SCHOOL AGREEMENTS NUMBER OF CASES CONSIDERED AND THAT TELL THE PUBLIC IN A PARTICULAR BOARD MEETING THAT WHEN WE ARE IN CLOSED SESSION WE CONSIDER X NUMBER CASES FOR THIS PARTICULAR MEETING. ESSENTIALLY WE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT PUBLIC SCHOOL COVER PAGE IN THE AGENDA AND YOU SEE THE BOXES ON THE BOTTOM. WE COULD DRAFT SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND DO THAT WITHOUT REVEALING THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. >> I WOULD BE OKAY. >> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE POLICY AS IS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> SECOND? >> SECOND. >> OKAY. FIRST AND SECOND. APPROVING AS IS. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> ALL OPPOSED? ABSTENTION? MOTION PASSES 5-0. THE ITEM PASSES AS IS 5-0 AND MAYBE WE CAN WORK TO FIGURE OUT THE DETAIL. >> WE'LL BRING BACK TO AGENDA SETTING WHICH IS NEXT WEDNESDAY ALREADY. WE'LL BE THERE TO TALK AND SEE IF WE CAN MAKE THIS MORE CLEAR FOR THE PUBLIC. >> THANK YOU AND THANK YOU TRUSTEE ESTRADA FOR THE DISCUSSION. >> THANK YOU EVERYONE. >> NOW CAN WE EXCUSE TRUSTEE FLORES-HARO AT HER REQUEST TO CONSIDER CHECK WARRANT NUMBER 5016927614 AND THE AMOUNT OF $160? THIS ITEM IS RELATED TO MICOP INTERPRETATION SERVICE AND SHE IS THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF MICOP. MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHECK? >> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> OKAY, AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> THE MOTION HAS BEEN APPROVE BY MOTION OF 4-0 WITH ONE ABSTENTION. >> WE ARE GOING TO GET TRUSTEE FLORES-HARO. >> THANK YOU. THAT COVERS THE CONSENT CALENDAR. MOVING ON TO ITEM 13 ACTION ITEM STARTING WITH 13 A, WITH BUSINESS SERVICES. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT FLORES-HARO AND TRUSTEES AND STAFF AND GUESTS AND BEST WISHES MR. URIAS IS HOME ILL SO HOPE HE IS FEELING BETTER. BEFORE THE BOARD ITEM 13 A IS CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL FOR ARCHITECTURE FOR EDUCATION FOR AQUATIC CENTER BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION FOR CHANNEL ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL AND PACIFICA HIGH SCHOOL USING MEASURE E FUNDS. THE PROPOSAL FOR ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION FOR CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION DESIGN SERVICE FEES FOR NEW AQUATIC CENTER SELECTED AS THE DESIGNATED DESIGN TEAM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW CENTER AT BOTH SCHOOLS. IT IS NECESSARY TO CONTRACT WITH ARCHITECTURE FIRM DESIGNING CAPITAL PROJECT SO THEY ARE PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM THAT MEETS WEEKLY THAT RESPOND TO REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM THE CONTRACTOR AND ON SITE TO INSURE COMPLIANCE TO THE DESIGN. THEY ARE ALSO ONE REQUIRED SIGNERS FOR DIVISION STATE ARCHITECT COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. THE FEES ANALYZED TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT COST IN ARCHITECTURAL CIVIL LANDSCAPE STRUCTURAL MEP AND AQUATIC BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES. THE COST BREAKDOWN FOR BOTH FOR THESE SERVICES FOR CHANNEL ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL, $393.370.50. PACIFICA HIGH SCHOOL, 393.370, 50. THE DISTRICT FOUND REASONABLE WITH STANDARD FOR WORK OF THE MAGNITUDE. THE SUM OF $786.741 PAID FROM MEASURE E FUND. IT IS RECOMMENDATION THE BOARD APPROVE PROPOSAL FOR ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION A FOR E AS PRESENTED. >> MOVE TO APPROVE. >> HAPPILY SECOND. >> THANK YOU DR. MCCOY AND TRUSTEE BOTELLO FOR FIRST AND SHER FOR SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE BOTELLO. >> EXCITED TO SEE BOTH GETTING A POOL AND APPRECIATE THE TIMELINE OF SCHEDULE WHEN WE DO THE PRE BIDDING AND BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION AND WHEN IT WOULD BE COMPLETED SO NICE TO SEE WE SEE THE LONG BALL GAME AND THE FINISH LINE. JUST THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE SHER. >> THANK YOU. I TOO AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS, LONG TIME COMING SO THANK YOU TO MEASURE E VOTERS. WITH REGARD TO AND MIGHT NOT BE THERE YET BUT PROJECT LAKE LABOR AGREEMENT IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY OR IS THAT-CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT? >> THE SERVICE WOULD NOT BE PL A BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THE ARCHITECTS WORKING PRIMARILY WE IS A PRIMARY ARCHITECT AND A USUALLY THEY HAVE A SECOND ARCHITECT SO THIS IS DRAWING AND DESIGN. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE TRI COUNTY LABOR TO BRING RENEWAL TO PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT TO THE BOARD AND POOL PROJECT WOULD BE PART OF THE WORK. >> THANK YOU. THAT WAS MY QUESTION. >> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE BAKER TORRES. >> IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO USE THE SAME ARCHITECT PLANS FOR THE TWO POOLS? >> THE PLANS ARE VERY SIMILAR, BUT THERE IS DIFFERENT CONDITIONS AT EACH SCHOOL THAT REQUIRE A LITTLE VARIANCE. THIS WHEN WE BROKE DOWN THE COST WHERE THERE IS HALF FOR CI AND HALF PACIFICA, IF WE BUILT ONE POOL WE ARE ONLY PAYING THAT ONE FEE, SO TYPICALLY IN THE INDUSTRY YOU PAY THIS AMOUNT TO THE ARCHITECTS FOR THAT ONE POOL. >> YOU USE THE SAME DRAWING FOR THE TWO POOLS? >> THEY HAVE TO BE SEPARATE BECAUSE THE DIVISION THE STATE ARCHITECT HOLDS CHANNEL ISLANDS AND PACIFICA SEPARATE PROJECTS WITH ALL THE BUILDING AND WORK. >> IT ISN'T LIKE THE OLD RIO MESA PLANS ARE HUENEME OR CHANNEL ISLAND. THEY CAN'T DO THAT? >> UNFORTUNATELY NO. AND NEW BERRY PARK AND THOUSAND OAKS TOO. >> I WANTED TO BE SURE ON THAT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE ESTRADA. >> AS THE NEWEST TRUSTEE AND GIVEN ALL THE EXCITEMENT IT ISN'T DIRECTLY CONNECTED BUT ARE WE THINKING THAT THESE NEW POOLS WOULD BE OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY IN A PARTNERSHIP I BELIEVE HUENEME HIGH SCHOOL HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY? >> WE HAVEN'T CONSIDERED PARTNERSHIPS YET. THE PARTNERSHIP AT HUENEME WE WORK WITH PORT HUENEME AS THE LOCATION FOR SWIM LESSENS FOR FREE SWIM LESSENS FOR THE COMMUNITY, BUT THE POOLS ARE SOLELY OWNED AND OPERATED BY OXNARD UNION HIGH SCHOOL AND RIO MESA AND ADOLFO CAMARILLO. UNLESS WE CAME TO A FUTURE AGREEMENT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE DISTRICT USE PRIMARILY AND AVAILABLE TO RENTERS AND TENANT THROUGH THE RENTAL PROGRAM. WE DO HAVE JUST SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS, EACH POOL IS BUILT WITH A WALK IN SWIMMING LESSEN ENTRANCE BECAUSE WE HEARD FROM OUR CHANNEL ISLAND WATER POLO TEAM THAT WON THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME, HALF THE TEAM LEARNED TO SWIM IN GRADE 9 AND 10. BOTH POOLS ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW US TO TEACH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TO SWIM IN ADDITION TO COMPETITIVE FOR ATHLETICS. >> GREAT APPRECIATION BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU DR. MCCOY. TRUSTEE SHER. >> THANK YOU. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THAT THIS COMMUNITY OUR COMMUNITY IN GENERAL CERTAINLY THERE IS GREAT DISPARITY AMONG WHO GETS TO SWIM AND WHO DOESN'T AND HISTORICALLY THAT IS THE CASE WE ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE AND TRYING SO LONG. HAVING SAID THAT, I REALLY HOPE THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS MODEL CAN BE-THE POOL AT SOME POINT CAN BE WRAPPED INTO THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL MODEL AND NOT SOLELY FOR STUDENT BUT FOR FAMILIES. AS TRUSTEE ESTRADA MIGHT ALLUDE TO INCORPORATING THE COMMUNITY. I FEEL LIKE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT. IT IS YEARS OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL HAVE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS WHEN THE POOLS ARE FINISHED. IT IS GRANT SO WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT WILL MEAN, BUT I FEEL THAT MIGHT BE WRAPPED INTO IT AND HAVING SAID THAT, IT WOULD BE IN THE CITY OXNARD BEST INTEREST TO BE GOOD PARTNER WITH US SO WE CAN HELP OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER EXACTLY IN THAT WAY AND TO THAT END, I THINK THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF INTEREST. SENATOR LARAMON SECURED $8 MILLION CORRECT IF I'M WRONG. $8 MILLION FOR THE POOL FOR THE AQUATIC CENTER SOUTH OXNARD. I KNOW THAT IS SOMETHING THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A LONG TIME AND THE YMCA, NOT THAT IT MATTERS FOR US BUT THEY HAVE PUT OUT FEELER TO THE CITY TO HELP BUILD A POOL SPECIFICALLY SAYING WE WANT TO BUILD A POOL TO OFFER FREE SWIMMING LESSENS TO EVERY RESIDENT IN OXNARD. SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE A IMPACT STUDY THAT SAYS MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM. IT IS IN THE CITY BEST INTEREST TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY IN THAT WAY TOO AND NOT SOLELY RELY ON THE NATURE OF THE OUHSD TO CONTINUALLY FILL THE NEEDS THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. >> THANK YOU. INCLINED TO AGREE AND EXCITED FOR THE PROJECT TO GET GOING FOR CI AND PACIFICA. JUST TO SEE IN THE FUTURE WHAT THAT AGREEMENT COULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE AQUATIC CENTER. I THINK THEY ARE BUILDING AT OXNARD COLLEGE. I THINK IT IS VERY CLOSE SO WHATEVER USE AGREEMENT WE CAN ESTABLISH WHEN WE GET THERE. FOR NOW, WE HAVE THE FIRST AND THE SECOND FOR ARCHITECTURE FIRM TO GET THE GOOD WORK GOING. I CALL THE VOTE IF NO OTHER COMMENTS. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. MOTION CARRIES 5-0. NEXT MOVING ON TO ITEM 13B; AND 13B WE ARE GOING TO THROW TO DR. SALGADO AND WELCOME RACHEL SANDERS FROM PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICES TO HELP US DESCRIBE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION THAT IS BEFORE THE TRUSTEES TONIGHT. RACHEL, WELCOME AND DR. SALGADO, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU DR. MCCOY AND TRUSTEE STAFF AND GUESTS. THE DISTRICT DETERMINED THAT OFFERING A RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM IS BEST FISCAL AND OPERATIONAL INTEREST OF THE DISTRICT AND THE EMPLOYEES. PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICE OFFERS A SUPPLEMENTARY RETIREMENT PLAN THAT SUPPLEMENTS STRS AND PERS BENEFITS AND COMPLIES WITH SECTION 403B INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THIS INCENTIVE PROGRAM IS FUNDED THROUGH NON ELECTIVE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND AS DR. MCCOY MENTIONED WE INVITED RACHEL SANDERS HERE FROM PARS TO WALK US THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. RACHEL. >> GREAT. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. GLAD TO BE HERE WITH YOU TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUPPLEMENTARY RETIREMENT PLAN FOR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT. AS DR. SALGADO INTRODUCED THE ITEM, THIS IS REALLY A PROGRAM THAT IS INTENDED TO BE A WIN WIN FOR THE DISTRICT AND EMPLOYEES AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE DISTRICTS OFTEN ANALYZE THESE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAMS KEEPING IN MIND THEY WANT TO HONOR THE LONG-TERM EMPLOYEES WHO SERVED IN THE DISTRICT AND MEANINGFUL CAPACITY FOR A GOOD NUMBER YEARS, AND ALSO ALLOWS DISTRICTS TO RETAIN SOME OF THEIR NEW UP AND COMING TALENT. AGAIN, THIS IS USED AS A TOOL BY A LOT OF DISTRICTS OTHERWISE FACING POTENTIALLY LAY-OFFS TO CREATE A PROGRAM GOOD FOR MORALE. TONIGHT I WILL WALK THROUGH HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS AND PROJECTIONS AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. WITHOUT FURTHER ADU, WE'LL START ON THE NEXT SLIDE. I'LL PROVIDE A QUICK BACKGROUNDS ON PARS THE COMPANY I WORK FOR THAT IS PROVIDING THIS RETIREMENT INCENTIVE. PARS STANDS FOR PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICES. WE ARE A COMPANY LOCATED SOUTH OF HERE IN ORANGE COUNTY AND WE WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND NATION WIDE. PARS GOT THE START BACK IN 1984 DOING THIS EXACT PROGRAM WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE PROGRAMS. WE WORKED WITH OVER 400 DISTRICTS HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. WE WORKED WITH VERY SMALL DISTRICTS AND L A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SO A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN CUSTOMIZING THE RETIREMENT PROGRAMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS WE WORK WITH. YOU SEE ON THE PAGE WHAT THE EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE. WE HAVE 1 THOUSAND MEMBER AGENCIES WE WITH WORK WITH AND WORK WITH 500 THOUSAND PLAN PARTICIPANT MANY RETIREES GETTING THESE EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVES AND YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE OVER $9 BILLION IN TRUST ASSETS UNDER ADMINISTRATION. SO, THE NEXT SLIDE PROVIDES A LITTLE BIT MORE COLOR IN TERMS OF WHO WE WORKED WITH ON THIS PROGRAM. WE WORKED WITH CLOSE TO 400 AGENCIES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. MANY OF WHICH ARE YOUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS. LAST YEAR WE WORKED WITH OXNARD, VENTURA AND MESA UNIFIED ON EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE BUT IDENTIFY SEE THE OTHER DISTRICTS WE WORKED WITH AND ALSO HIGHLIGHTED SOME DISTRICTS WE WORKED WITH OUTSIDE VENTURA COUNTY. PARS IS THE PIONEER OF THIS PROGRAM AND LEADING PROVIDER OF THIS PROGRAM IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO, NOW I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT THIS PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THE BOARD DOES DECIDE TO APPROVE MOVING FORWARD THIS EVENING. ULTIMATELY TONIGHT THROUGH THE RESOLUTION WE ASK THE BOARD TO OPEN ENROLLMENT WINDOW. THIS IS CONTINGENT PLAN MEANING THIS PLAN HAS TO MEET THE DISTRICT FISCAL AND OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD. TONIGHT YOU ARE NOT COMMITTING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN, WE WOULD OPEN THE ENROLLMENT WINDOW, PROVIDE ALL OF THE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES A OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE PROGRAM, INSURE IT MAKES SENSE FOR THEM AND THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND THAT WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PARS DOING ORIENTATION, ONE ON ONE WORKSHOPS AND WE DO ENCOURAGE THEM TO TALK TO STERS, PERS MAIN PENSION THAT WILL BE A BIG CONSIDERATION FOR A LAT OF FOLKS AND ANYTHING ELSE APPLICABLE TO THEIR RETIREMENT. USUALLY OUR WINDOWS LAST ANYWHERE FROM 45 TO 60 DAYS. DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME, FOLKS WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS AND ULTIMATELY SUBMIT PAPERWORK INCLUDING DISTRICT LETTER OF RESIGNATION IF THEY DECIDE TO ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM. ULTIMATELY THIS LETTER OF RESIGNATION IS IRREVOCABLE IF THE BOARD MOVES FORWARD WITH THE PLAN ONCE WE KNOW WHO IS ENROLLED AND OPERATIONAL IMPACT. IF AT THE END OF WHEN WE BRING BACK TO THE BOARD FOR ACTION, IF YOU DECIDE TO CANCEL THE PLAN ALL THOSE LETTERS OF RESIGNATION WOULD BE RESCINDED. FOLKS ARE ONLY LOCKED INTO PARTICIPATION IF THE DISTRICT MOVES FORWARD BECAUSE A LOT OF FOLKS WOULD TAKE THIS CONTINGENT MOVING FORWARD. THE NEXT SLIDE PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR YOU. AS IT RELATES TO THE ELIGIBILITY. I MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A VOLUNTARY PLAN FOR ANYONE ELIGIBLE AND YOU SEE THIS IS OFFERED TO ALL DISTRICTS EMPLOYEE GROUPS AND THOSE FOLKS MUST HAVE AT LEAST 5 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH YOUR DISTRICT, HAVE FTE OF 50 PERCENT, BE ELIGIBLE TO RETIRE EITHER UNDER CALSTRS OR CALIPERS. AND THEN ALSO REQUIRED THAT THEY COMPLETE THIS SCHOOL YEAR RESIGNING ON OR BEFORE JUNE 30 OF 2025. SO, EVERY PERSON WHO MEETS THOSE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE SENT A CUSTOMIZED PACT AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET MORE INFORMATION IF THEY WANT TO SIGN UP FOR THIS PROGRAM. SO, ULTIMATELY WE WORKED WITH YOUR TEAM TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BENEFIT AND THESE PLANS ARE CUSTOMIZED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT WE ARE WORKING WITH:THROUGH A SERIES OF ANALYSIS AND UPDATE FROM THE DISTRICT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DISTRICT WANTED TO OFFER A PLAN THAT WAS EQUIVALENT TO 90 PERCENT OF FINAL PAY FOR EMPLOYEES. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PLAN WOULD BE OFFERED 90 PERCENT OF WHATEVER THE FINAL PAY IS FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. NOW, AS DR. SALGADO MENTIONED, THIS IS FUNDED THROUGH A 403B ANNUITY, HELD AT PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SO ULTIMATELY THE DISTRICT WOULD PURCHASE THE ANNUITY ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE WHO THE RULES AND THEY GET PAYMENTS FOR THIS BENEFIT. TO CLARIFY WHAT THOSE PAYMENTS LOOK LIKE, WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON THE NEXT SLIDE. YOU CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE WHAT IS CALLED A SAMPLE BENEFIT ILLUSTRATION PAGE. I MENTIONED THAT EVERY ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE WILL RECEIVE A CUSTOMIZED PACKET MAILED BY PARS, AND SO EVERYONE IS GOING TO GET A PAGE THAT DETAILS THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE BASED ON AGE AND FINAL PAY. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS REALLY JUST A SAMPLE BASED ON AVERAGE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES IN TERMS WHAT THE PAY OUTS MIGHT LOOK LIKE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE ARE LOOKING AT YOUR CERTIFICATED NON MANAGEMENT, YOU SEE THEY HAVE 14 DIFFERENT OPTION CHOICES EQUIVALENT TO 90 PERCENT OF FINAL PAY. THEY HAVE THREE DIFFERENT LIFE TIME OPTIONS AVAILABLE. THOSE ARE SIMILAR WHAT A EMPLOYEE MIGHT SEE UNDER PERS AND STERS AND FIXED TERM PAYMENT OPTIONS RANGING FROM A 5 YEAR PAY OUT TO 15 YEAR PAY OUT. EACH OF THESE BENEFITS PAY OUT MONTHLY, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEONE CHOSE OPTION 5 THEY RECEIVE ROUGHLY $1900 A MONTH IF THE CERTIFICATED FOR TOTAL OF 5 YEARS SO RECEIVE 60 BENEFIT PAYMENTS AND THE BENEFIT ENDS. FROM THE DISTRICT STAND POINT ALL THE OPTIONS ARE EQUIVALENT IN COST SO THE DISTRICT IS AGNOSTIC. COST THE DISTRICT THE SAME BUT IT GIVES THE EMPLOYEES TO LOOK AT THE OPPORTUNITY WHICH OPTION WORKS BEST. THERE ARE TAX ADVANTAGES TO OPTION CHOICES SO AGAIN, ALL THAT INFORMATION WOULD BE PROVIDED ON A CUSTOMIZED BASIS. YES? >> TRUSTEE SHER. >> I CAN ASK LATER BUT A QUICK QUESTION WITH REGARD TO THE MENTION OF LIFE TIME OPPOSED TO A CERTAIN TIME FRAME. WHEN YOU SAY LIFE TIME THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE PERSON? >> EXACTLY. OPTION ONE IS SIMILAR TO CALSTRS OR PERS, OPTION ONE PAYS OUT ROUGHLY $574 PER MONTH FOR ENTIRE LIFE TIME OF THE EMPLOYEE. THERE IS A JOINT SURVIVOR OPTION THAT PAYS THE LIFE TIME OF EMPLOYEE PLUS BENEFICIARY. >> IN THE FIRST LINE THAT IS WHAT THAT MEANS THERE IS DIFFERENCE IN IF YOU TAKE IT YOURSELF OPPOSED TO YOURSELF AND-THEY GET IT IF YOU PASS BEFORE THEY DO? >> RIGHT. TO THAT POINT, ANYONE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THE JOINT SURVIVOR TO HAVE THE RECEIVE THE BENEFIT. OUR TEAM CAN REACH OUT TO PACIFIC LIFE AND UPDATE CALCULATIONS BASED ON DATE OF BIRTH. WITH LIFE TIME OPTIONS PARS DOESN'T DO THE CALCULATIONS BUT PACIFIC LIFE DOES THEY HAVE THE MORTALITY TABLES. >> THAT IS A SERVICE YOU PROVIDE ANYONE INTERESTED IN ANY OPTION ANY QUESTION THEY HAVE? >> ABSOLUTELY. WE WILL EXPLAIN TO ALL EMPLOYEES HOW TO GET THE UPDATED INFORMATION. REACH OUT TO PARS AND SO WE ARE THE LIAISON BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE AND PACIFIC LIFE SO THEY WORK WITH US BUT WE CAN GET THE UPDATED INFORMATION. >> THANK YOU. >> SURE. >> ANOTHER QUESTION. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN OPTION 3? WHAT THAT ENTAILS? >> OF COURSE. OPTION 3 IS THE THIRD LIFE TIME OPTION AND SO OPTION 3 PAYS OUT FOR THE GREATER OF EMPLOYEE LIFE TIME OR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. I GIVE A EXAMPLE. SOMEONE CHOOSING OPTION 3 SAY HEAVEN FORBID THEY PASS 5 YEARS GETTING THE BENEFIT, HAS A GUARANTEE TEP YEAR PAY OUT SO IF THE PERSON PAYS 5 YEARS GETTING THE BENEFIT THEIR BENEFICIARIES IS GUARANTEED 5 YEARS OF PAYMENT SO 10 YEARS ARE MADE. IF THE PERSON LIVES BEYOND 10 YEARS, SAY 30 YEARS TO RETIREMENT IT PAY AS LIFE TIME OPTION. IT IS LIKE BUYING INSURANCE ON LIFE TIME OPTION. >> THANK YOU. >> JUST FOR THE BOARD KNOWLEDGE, AGAIN DURING OUR EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR WE GO THROUGH EACH OPTION IN DETAIL SO FOLKS ARE VERY CLEAR HOW EACH OPTION WORKS. >> THANK YOU. >> WE'LL MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. NOW WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO THE ANALYSIS WE DID FOR THE DISTRICT. AS I MENTIONED, WE GOT GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THE TEAM REGARDING DATA AND ASSUMPTIONS WE WERE GOING TO USE IN THE ANALYSIS AND ULTIMATELY PARS HAS DONE THESE PROGRAMS FOR DECADES NOW AND SO WE REALLY FINE TUNED ANALYSIS TO INCLUDE ANYTHING THAT COULD LEAD TO EITHER A COST FOR DISTRICT OR SAVINGS AND SO, I WON'T GO INTO EVERY VARIABLE INTO OUR ANALYSIS, BUT THESE ARE SOME THINGS WE CONSIDER THAT YOU SEE ON THIS SLIDE HERE. WE LOOK AT THE COMPENSATION BETWEEN OUT GOING EMPLOYEES AND HIRING TRENDS WHERE THE NEW EMPLOYEES ARE COMING, THE BIGGEST SALARY AND MORE SAVINGS. WE FACTOR IN NATURAL ATTRITION. WE DONT ACCOUNT FOR SAVINGS FOR FOLKS WE THINK WOULD RETIRE WITHOUT THIS INCENTIV
