Additional funds have been allocated to Hacienda La Puente Adult Education for $7,659, for a total amount of $735,138. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22, 2014. The WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and amends the Wagner-Peyser Act, the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The WIOA helps job seekers succeed in the labor market by providing access to employment, education, training, and support services while matching employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. In addition, the enactment of WIOA provides a new opportunity to ensure that America’s Job Center of California locations remain effective and job-driven — responding to the needs of employers and preparing workers for jobs, now and in the future. Reimbursement will be based on student outcomes called benchmarks, rather than on hours of attendance. Hacienda La Puente Adult Education has received approval for these supplemental federal funds in Adult Education. The following categories are included for the 2023-2024 school year: Adult Basic Education (ABE) English Language Acquisition (ELA) Positive Outcomes in Employment and Earnings- ABE Pre and Post Testing- ABE English Literacy and Civics Educations (ELCE): Citizenship Preparation & Civic Participation Adult Secondary Education (ASE): High School Equivalency (HSE) and High School Diploma (HSD) Positive outcomes in Employments and Earnings- ASE Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE) IELCE with Integrated Education and Training (IET) Budget Implications : Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Grant funds Submitted by: Dr. Rosa Isaiah Assistant Superintendent, Education Services Office of Executive Director, Adult and Continuing Education File Attachments 5. Consent Items Subject 5.05.a – Contracts and Agreements – Approve contract between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Arcina Risk Group, to perform insurance archeology services, for an amount not to exceed $18,000. (Dr. Lovato) Meeting Feb 22, 2024 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation: Approve contract between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Arcina Risk Group, to perform insurance archeology services, for an amount not to exceed $18,000. Analysis : Insurance archeology services is the practice of uncovering and restoring lost or unknown insurance policies to provide claim coverage. The District currently has exposure to claims from 1970 through 1995. The District’s current liability insurance pool Southern California Regional Liability Excess Fund (SCR) was not in existence at the time of these claims and therefore, we have no coverage through SCR. The District needs to conduct an extensive records search dating back to 1970 to find our insurance policies and coverage documents. The District does not have the resources to conduct such an extensive archaeological search. Arcina Risk Group has the expertise and knowledge to conduct such an extensive search. The dollar amount of $18,000, is based on the amount of hours, Arcina Risk Group, feels is necessary to conduct such a search. Irvine Unified School District and Perris Union High School District used Arcina Risk Group and highly recommended them to the District.

Analysis : Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a parent of a student with a disability has the right to obtain an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) of the student at public expense if the parent disagrees with an evaluation that the District has conducted. Therefore, the Special Education/SELPA Department maintains contracts within a range of vetted, qualified IEE assessors that meet the criteria set by the District/Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA), to be able to meet this requirement under the IDEA. These contracts are used on an as-needed basis, dependent on which IEE assessor is selected by the parent and agreed upon by the District.

Chávez Day, March 31, 2024.” Analysis : César Estrada Chávez, the late founder and president of the United Farm Workers of America, had deep confidence in the ability of people to move mountains of injustice. In fact, under his leadership, farm workers moved the agribusiness mountain and won the first union contracts for agricultural workers in the grape fields. The Mexican American labor leader was a humble man who gave of himself unselfishly to the cause of farm workers and all workers. He championed the cause of equality for Latinos like no one else. His courage in the face of some of our nation’s most powerful industries inspired generations of all races and nationalities to fight the good fight. Millions followed César Chávez on his journey, which won monumental gains for farm workers, for civil rights, political representation for racial minorities and environmental justice. These achievements place him as one of the most outstanding leaders of the twentieth century. The state of California recognized that legacy when Governor Gray Davis signed into law the creation of an official state holiday, which will be celebrated starting in 2001, on César Chávez’s birthday March 31. Board of Education recognizes the accomplishments and example of César Chávez. Budget Implications : None; NA; $0 Submitted by: Dr. Alfonso Jiménez Superintendent File Attachments 2.22.24 Cesar E.

Women have been a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home and providing the majority of the volunteer labor force of the Nation. American women of every race, class, and ethnic backgrounds served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement and were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation. American women have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements, especially the peace movement, and have served our country courageously in the military. The contributions and diversity of American women deserve to be amplified, valued, and studied in American history.
