Consent Items Subject 5.02.b - Instruction - Approve “Ethics and Public Policy: A Philosophical Inquiry,” by Jonathan Wolff, to be used by District students in Grades 9-12 Social Science Career and Technical Education pathway elective course curriculum. (Dr. Lin) Meeting Jun 11, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve “Ethics and Public Policy: A Philosophical Inquiry,” by Jonathan Wolff, to be used by District students in Grades 9-12 Social Science Career and Technical Education pathway elective course curriculum. Analysis : At the Regular meeting on May 7, 2026, the Board examined “Ethics and Public Policy: A Philosophical Inquiry" to be used by District students in Grades 9-12 Social Science Career and Technical Education pathway elective course curriculum. Ethics and Public Policy: A Philosophical Inquiry, offers an examination of how moral philosophy intersects with real-world policy-making. Through thematic chapters, the book explores ethically complicated issues such as animal experimentation, gambling regulation, drug policy, crime and punishment, safety standards, health care and disability, and the role of free markets. Each chapter pushes students to consider whether these issues should be addressed in an idealistic manner or through pragmatic realism. The goal of the book is to prompt students to consider their views on these ethical and moral issues as well as the extent to which the government should be involved in addressing these issues. The Social Science Site Department vetted and recommended this textbook to be used in the Social Science Career and Technical Education pathway elective course curriculum, (AR 6141 Curriculum and Instruction; AR 6161.1 Selection and Evaluation of Instructional Materials; Education Code 60422 Providing Instructional Materials). Upon approval, site administrators will order the Social Science elective course textbook for the High School Ethics and Public Policy course.

Consent Items Subject 5.02.c - Instruction - Approve “Title I Districtwide Parent and Family Engagement Policy," as required by Every Student Succeeds Act Section 1116. (Dr. Lin) Meeting Jun 11, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve “Title I Districtwide Parent and Family Engagement Policy," as required by Every Student Succeeds Act Section 1116. Analysis : Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, reauthorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires that local educational agencies and schools provide parents and families of Title I students with the information needed to make well‑informed decisions regarding their children’s education. These federal requirements emphasize shared responsibility for student success and support the development of effective school programs through meaningful family engagement. ESSA, Section 1116, establishes the primary expectations for parent and family engagement and requires local educational agencies receiving Title I funds to conduct outreach to all parents and family members and to implement programs, activities, and procedures that promote their involvement. These efforts must be planned and implemented with meaningful consultation with parents of participating children. The Districtwide Parent and Family Engagement Policy has been jointly developed with, and agreed upon by, parents and family members of participating Title I students. The policy establishes the District’s expectations and objectives for meaningful parent and family engagement in accordance with ESSA, Section 1116(2). It outlines how the District will support communication, build parent capacity, coordinate engagement activities across programs, and evaluate the effectiveness of engagement strategies each year. This policy aligns with state requirements under Education Code, Sections 11500–11506, which establish expectations for family engagement programs, including promoting family‑school partnerships, supporting parent participation in decision‑making, and ensuring meaningful opportunities for families to engage in student learning. The policy also supports compliance with Education Code, Sections 52060–52077, by addressing parent involvement under State Priority 3 in the Local Control and Accountability Plan. In addition, Education Code, Section 64001, requires schools operating Title I programs to develop School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) with parent involvement and consultation; the Districtwide policy provides the overarching framework guiding site‑level engagement practices required in each SPSA. The policy is consistent with California School Boards Association ( CSBA) Board Policy (BP)/Administrative Regulation (AR) 6020, which requires districts to develop and implement a written parent involvement policy that ensures regular communication, opportunities for input, and support for parent participation in academic programs. It also aligns with CSBA BP/AR 6171, which requires compliance with federal Title I parent and family engagement provisions, including development of a Districtwide policy and annual evaluation of its effectiveness. Approval of this policy ensures alignment with federal law, state law, and CSBA guidance and strengthens Districtwide systems for family engagement, supports consistent implementation across schools, and ensures that parents and family members of Title I students have meaningful opportunities to participate in decision‑making and support student learning. It is recommended that the Board approve the Title I Districtwide Parent and Family Engagement Policy. Upon approval, Education Services will distribute the policy to all Title I schools, post it on the District website, and provide guidance to school administrators regarding implementation and annual evaluation requirements.

Consent Items Subject 5.04.c - Business and Operations - Approve to authorize Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools to make appropriation transfers, if necessary at the close of the fiscal year, to permit payment of District obligations incurred during the 2025-26 school year. (Ms. Risco) Meeting Jun 11, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve to authorize Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools to make appropriation transfers, if necessary at the close of the fiscal year, to permit payment of District obligations incurred during the 2025-26 school year. Analysis : Education Code, Sections 42600 and 42601, authorize County Superintendent of Schools to process budget appropriation transfers at the close of the school year, and year-end appropriation transfer are a standard fiscal closing procedure necessary to ensure expenditures are accurately recorded. Per Education Code, Sections 42601, “At the close of any school year, a school district may, with the approval of the governing board, identify and request the county superintendent of schools to make the transfers between the designated fund balance or the unappropriated fund balance and any expenditure classification or classifications, or balance any expenditure classifications of the budget of the district for that school year as necessary to permit the payment of obligations of the district incurred during that school year.” Failure to authorize the County Superintendent to process necessary appropriation transfers may result in expenditures exceeding budgeted appropriations and can cause delays in processing year-end obligations, or technical budget compliance issues. The District recommends that the Board of Education approves the County authorization to make appropriation transfers from the specified funds, if necessary. Once approved, the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools will be notified. Budget Implications : The Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools encourages district governing boards to authorize the county office to make appropriation transfers and budget revisions using identified sources of funds. The District recommends: (1) between major objects of expenditures; (2) from unassigned fund balances, if any; (3) from committed balances; and (4) from assigned fund balances, in this order.

Consent Items Subject 5.04.f - Business and Operations - Approve submission of Application for Exemption from the required expenditures for Classroom Teachers’ salaries for fiscal year 2025-26. (Ms. Risco) Meeting Jun 11, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve submission of Application for Exemption from the required expenditures for Classroom Teachers’ salaries for fiscal year 2025-26. Analysis : Pursuant to Education Code, Section 41372, a unified school district must expend a minimum of 55% of the district’s current expense of education for classroom teacher compensation. If a district fails to meet this threshold, they must submit an application for exemption to the County Superintendent of Schools to be exempt from the requirement to commit the underspent funds on classroom compensation. Due to expenditures outside of classroom teacher salaries and benefits that were necessary to support students learning and operations, the District did not meet the required 55% threshold for fiscal year 2024-25, expending 53.74%, resulting in a deficiency of $3,314,993. These expenditures included instructional materials, technology, and student support services such as counseling and intervention programs. The District was granted an exemption in fiscal year 2023-24 due to the impact of one-time COVID-related funding. For fiscal year 2024-25, the District has made significant progress in improving the ratio, increasing from 49.46% to 53.74%, and reducing the deficiency from $15.47 million to $3.31 million. This reflects the District’s transition from one-time funding reliance towards a more structurally balanced budget. The District continues to monitor expenditures towards classroom teacher’s salaries and benefits and is implementing measures to ensure compliance with the 55% requirement in future years. The District expects to meet the required threshold for fiscal year 2025-2026. Upon approval, the application will be submitted to County of Superintendent of Schools to approve the waiver and allow the District to be exempt from the State’s commitment requirements.

This is the foundational statute that allows Local Educational Agency (LEAs) to apply for grants from private businesses and nonprofit organizations as long as the activity is: Not prohibited by law, aligned with district purposes, and approved by the governing board. Education Code, Section 35160.1 – Legislative Intent for Local Control Reinforces that districts may undertake activities (including grant applications) that support educational programs, provided they remain consistent with state laws, local board policies, and educational goals. This section supports the district’s authority to seek private or nonprofit grants. The grant will positively impact the District, school sites, and staff by expanding access to high‑quality services, strengthening instructional capacity, and improving systems that support student learning. Students will benefit from more effective interventions, increased engagement, and improved academic and social‑emotional outcomes. It is recommended that the Board approve this recommendation to ensure the District meets all grant requirements, maintains compliance with federal and state guidelines, and implements the activities outlined in the approved proposal. Upon approval, the District will initiate formal communication to program leads, fiscal services, and site administrators outlining the grant requirements, allowable expenditures, and documentation expectations to ensure full compliance with state and federal guidelines.

Analysis : At the Regular meeting on June 24, 2025, the Board approved Bid #2024-25.20 and contract for Student Transportation Services to supplement the District’s capacity to transport students for athletic, field trip, and other non-home-to-school services. Administrative Regulation 3541.1, "Transportation for School-Related Trips," establishes that the district may provide transportation for students, employees, and other individuals for field trips and excursions according to Board policy and administrative regulations. The Superintendent or designee shall determine the most appropriate and cost-effective mode of transportation for each approved trip. District school bus drivers provide home-to-school transportation services as a priority, and field trips and excursion services as an added support to students. When district drivers are not available due to timing, distance, or other equipment needs, the District contracts transportation services in order to supplement the District's capacity to support students’ extracurricular or co-curricular transportation needs. To seek out responsive contractors, District Administration published a bid for these services. A notice inviting bids was advertised in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune on May 8 and 15, 2025, as well as posted to the District website. The intent of the bid was to award multiple providers based on ranking their bid responses. The District recommends the Board renew the contracts in Bid #2024-25.20 for the 2026-27 school year.

Analysis : The District utilizes the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s (LACOE) Business Enhancement System Transformation (BEST) Advantage Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Human Resource System (HRS) to process payroll, budget, accounting, labor distribution, retirement reporting, and other financial and personnel transactions required for District operations. LACOE provides subscription-based maintenance, system access, operational support, standard reporting functions, approved pay cycle processing, CalPERS and CalSTRS reporting, training, and system advisory services necessary for the District’s fiscal and human resources operations. School districts within Los Angeles County are required to process budget, payroll, and accounting transactions through systems maintained by the Los Angeles County Office of Education in accordance with county operational and reporting requirements. Annual subscription contracts are required to maintain access to the BEST Advantage ERP and HRS platforms and associated support services. Continued access to the BEST Advantage ERP and HRS systems is critical to maintaining the District’s payroll processing, financial reporting, retirement reporting, labor distribution, and budgetary operations. Failure to approve the annual contract may disrupt access to essential financial and human resources systems, negatively impacting payroll processing, employee reporting requirements, financial compliance, and operational continuity. The District recommends approval of the contract with the Los Angeles County Office of Education for BEST Advantage ERP and HRS services to ensure continued system access, operational support, and compliance with county and state reporting requirements.

The service provides current and former students with secure online access to request transcripts and student records electronically, while also allowing colleges, universities, employers, and other authorized agencies to verify records efficiently and securely. This contract supports the District’s efforts to improve operational efficiency, customer service, and accessibility for students and families by streamlining transcript requests and reducing manual processing by school site and District staff. The service also provides tracking features and electronic notifications to students regarding the status of transcript requests. This contract is aligned with Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5125, "Student Records," which outlines the District’s responsibility to maintain, manage, and provide access to student records in accordance with state and federal law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Analysis : The District annually participates in the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s (LACOE) Joint Education Transit (JET) program, which provides interdistrict courier and delivery services throughout Los Angeles County. The service facilitates the secure and timely transport of payroll warrants, correspondence, reports, and other official district documents between LACOE and participating school districts. Participation in the JET program requires districts to annually renew the participation agreement and associated subscription fees with the LACOE in order to continue receiving transit and delivery services for the upcoming fiscal year. Continued participation in the JET program supports operational efficiency and ensures the timely delivery of payroll warrants, fiscal documents, and other critical district correspondence. Failure to renew participation may result in delays in the delivery of official documents and disruptions to established communication and distribution processes between the District and LACOE. The District recommends approval of the JET participation agreement with the LACOE to ensure continuity of delivery and transit services for the upcoming fiscal year. The annual participation fee covers operational costs associated with the JET program, including fuel, vehicle maintenance, insurance, substitute driver coverage, and other program-related expenditures necessary to maintain countywide transit services. Upon approval, the District will continue coordinating delivery services with LACOE for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
