L. ADJOURNMENT


May 19, 2020

INFORMATION REPORT NO. 1

TO: Board of Education

FROM: Dr. Vivian Ekchian, Superintendent

SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Dickinson, Chief Business and Financial Officer

SUBJECT: GUSD Plan to Maintain District Solvency and Financial

Responsibility

NOTE: This report and attached presentation are being written prior to a complete

review and analysis of the May Revise. The presentation on May 19, 2020 will include

the most up-to-date information available.

Fiscal outlook reports are indicating that California is in a deep economic recession due to

the impact of COVID-19. However, there are many uncertainties about it including – how

long it will last, what the effect on revenue will be, and the extent of federal relief aid.

The Department of Finance (DOF) provided a fiscal update that anticipates a total state

deficit for 2020-21 of $54 billion (sum of $13b in increased COVID-19 costs and $41b in

revenue loss), which is about 25% of the total state budget. Specifically, DOF projects that

General Fund (GF) revenues will decline by a total of $41.2 billion from the projection

provided in the January Governor’s Budget, as follows:

2018-19: +$0.7 billion

2019-20: -$9.7 billion

2020-21: -$32.2 billion

The bulk of this decline is due to a projected 25.5% decrease in personal income tax (PIT)

revenues, which generates almost 70% of GF revenues.

The corresponding reduction to the Proposition 98 guarantee for schools is estimated to be

$19 billion. This would represent a -22% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) or an average

reduction of $2,300 per average daily attendance (ADA). For GUSD, this would equate to

a revenue reduction of nearly $60 million or 25% of the district’s LCFF revenue. Large

cash deferrals are also proposed as part of the state’s budget solutions.


May 19, 2020


Page 2

Due to the uncertainties surrounding the May Revise, school business professional and

advocacy organizations (CSBA, CASBO, School Services of California and FCMAT) have

recommended school districts develop different scenarios related to the LCFF funding for

2020-21 and the future years. Based on these recommendations, below are a number of

possible scenarios:

Baseline/Pre-COVID – Recall that all of these scenarios are changes from the pre-

COVID scenario that public education would be receiving COLA increases of 2-3%

each year. Even in this scenario which was used during our Second Interim Report on

March 10, 2020, the estimated budget reduction needed for 2021-22 was about $8

million.

Best Case – In this scenario, the LCFF is unchanged or a 0% COLA. This scenario

projects an estimated budget reduction for 2021-22 of $24 million.

Mid-Level Case – In this scenario, the LCFF is reduced by 5%. This scenario projects

an estimated budget reduction for 2021-22 of $48 million.

Worst Case – In this scenario, the LCFF is reduced by 10%. This scenario projects an

estimated budget reduction for 2021-22 of $72 million.

Note that these scenarios assume that the current $5 million budget reduction for 2020-21

is implemented as it was planned and approved on March 10, 2020. There are, of course,

still many unknown about how the 2020-21 school year will be operated and what additional

costs may be incurred.

Upon adoption of the GUSD 2020-21 budget in June 2020, the District’s multi-year

projection will include the two future fiscal years 2021-22 and 2022-23. The Los Angeles

County Office of Education (LACOE) requires that the District will be able to meet its

financial obligations for this time period to keep a “Positive Certification.” The district will

have to at least put in large “placeholder” budget reductions for 2021-22 and 2022-23 and

then follow-up with the detailed reduction plans.

There are still a number of variables that could negatively impact the budget situation

including: enrollment, average daily attendance percentage (ADA), unduplicated student

count, future LCFF revenue, labor contract negotiations, and the potential territory transfer.


May 19, 2020


Page 3

There are also a number of variables that could positively impact the budget situation

including: additional federal relief, enrollment hold harmless, flexibility on instructional

minutes and/or days, and flexibility to negotiate furlough days. These and other details

about the May Revise will be coming out in the coming days and weeks.

All school districts in California are in a very similar financial position, or much worse, and

are looking at how to finish this school year and reopen in the fall. So it is imperative that

GUSD and all of its constituents continue conversations with state and federal

representatives about the critical importance of public education funding.

NOTE: This report and attached presentation are being written prior to a complete

review and analysis of the May Revise. The presentation on May 19, 2020 will include

the most up-to-date information available.

SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Kelly King, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services

PREPARED BY: Dr. Chris Coulter, Director, Teaching and Learning

Shawna Metcalf, Teacher Specialist, Teaching and Learning

SUBJECT: Extending Length of Adoption for Science Instructional

Materials – Grades 6-8

Background:

Beginning in the spring of 2019, Glendale Unified began the process for adopting

instructional materials aligned with the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA

NGSS) using the CA NGSS Toolkit for Instructional Materials Evaluation (CA NGSS

TIME). The Science Review Committee, comprised of a representative group of teachers

in grades 6-8, evaluated available programs from September 2019 to February 2020 and

reached consensus on the recommendation that Glendale Unified adopt Green Ninja as the

science instructional materials for grades 6-8. On April 7, 2020, the Board of Education

approved the recommendation with a six-year proposed adoption.

Update:

The initial recommendation for adoption in grades 6-8 was for six years. This length of

time was recommended prior to the selection of the K-5 and high school materials selection

and was based on the expectation that publishers would update materials prior to the next

statewide adoption. Upon further review of the cost associated with the adoption of Green

Ninja along with the K-5 and 9-12 adoptions for six years versus eight years, it was

determined that there would be substantial per year cost savings with the longer adoptions

in each case. For Green Ninja specifically, the cost per year with a six-year adoption is

approximately $500,000 and the cost per year for an eight-year adoption drops to

approximately $412,500. An eight-year adoption will save $87,500 per year over the life

of the adoption. The Teaching and Learning Department also researched the likelihood of

publisher improvements prior to the next statewide adoption and determined that it is

unlikely that there will be significant changes or updates to current programs that will make

these programs exceed the quality of Green Ninja.

Approval of Budget Adjustment for the Balboa Elementary School Portables Project

On November 28, 2017, the Board approved a project and preliminary budget allocation

for the installation of portable buildings at Balboa Elementary School in the amount of

$500,000. In May 2019, Procurement & Contract Services completed the solicitation of

bids for the Balboa Elementary School Playground Renovation Project. Staff received

and opened five (5) bids for the project, with the four (4) eligible bids all being over the

total project budget. The rejection of these bids was approved by the Board on June 4,

2019.

On June 14, 2019, Planning, Development and Facilities (PDF) staff notified the Board of

the updated status of the project and noted that the preliminary budget would be reviewed

and revised in the coming months. Following the rejection of the bids, School staff worked

collaboratively with PDF staff to identify various site needs that needed to be completed

during the summer of 2019. The scope of work completed in summer of 2019 included,

installation of playground equipment, paving, installation of ball walls, tree removal,

installation of basketball courts, painting and flooring for a total cost of $356,913. The

remaining portions of this project will be completed during summer 2020. This project

will include the following:

Installation of a 24’ x 60’ two-room portable building

Installation of new underground utilities

Removal of temporary overhead power/cable lines

Inc. for the Remainder of the 2019-20 School Year

The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Education approve an addendum to the transportation contract with First Student, Inc. for payments during school closure due to COVID-19 for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year with a rate reduction of twenty percent (20%).

On March 5, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a Statre of Emegency due to COVID-19. On March 17, 2020, Senate Bill 117 was approved and made effective immediately, which includes the intent of the Legislature that school districts receiving hold harmless apportionments ensure that their employees and contractors are paid, as reasonably anticipated, as if school had not been closed. During disscusions with First Student, Inc. it was determined that most of their costs are directly related to personnel and equipment as required per contract and existing routes scheduled for the 19-20 school year. Operational costs in the form of fuel, oil, tires, maintenance have been reduced since school closure, which may be a cost reduction of approximately 12% to 20%. Staff is recommending approval of the attached Addendum to pay First Student, Inc. from April 6, 2020 through June 30, 2020 at reduced rate of twenty (20%) of their monthly service fee for home to school routes that existed prior to school closure.

ACTION REPORT NO. 2




PREPARED BY: Hagop Kassabian, Administrator: Planning, Development, and Facilities

SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Adjustment for the Balboa Elementary School

Portables Project

The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Education approve

a budget adjustment for the Balboa Elementary School Portables

Project in the amount of $600,000, funded by Developer Fees funds.

On November 28, 2017, the Board approved a project and preliminary budget allocation for the

installation of portable buildings at Balboa Elementary School in the amount of $500,000. In May

2019, Procurement & Contract Services completed the solicitation of bids for the Balboa Elementary

School Playground Renovation Project. Staff received and opened five (5) bids for the project, with

the four (4) eligible bids all being over the total project budget. The rejection of these bids was

approved by the Board on June 4, 2019.

On June 14, 2019, Planning, Development and Facilities (PDF) staff notified the Board of the

updated status of the project and noted that the preliminary budget would be reviewed and revised

in the coming months. Following the rejection of the bids, School staff worked collaboratively with

PDF staff to identify various site needs that needed to be completed during the summer of 2019.

The scope of work completed in summer of 2019 included, installation of playground equipment,

paving, installation of ball walls, tree removal, installation of basketball courts, painting and flooring

for a total cost of $356,913. The remaining portions of this project will be completed during summer

2020. This project will include the following:

Installation of a 24’ x 60’ two-room portable building

Installation of new underground utilities

Removal of temporary overhead power/cable lines

Renovation of entire playground asphalt and restriping

Installation of v-gutter

Staff has determined that an additional budget allocation of $600,000 will be required in order to

complete the project. This would increase the total project budget to $1,100,000. Following this

approval, staff present the Board with an award of bid for the remaining work on the project,

including installation of the building and site work. This project is funded by Developer Fee funds.

ACTION REPORT NO. 9



SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Darneika Watson, Chief Human Resources and Operations Officers

SUBJECT: Variable Term Waiver Request for California Basic Skills Test

(CBEST) for the 2019-2020 School Year

The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Education approve the

Variable Term Waiver Request for Samantha Ochoa on a waiver permit based on

an insufficient number of fully credentialed teachers who meet the District’s

employment criteria for the needed position.

Samantha Ochoa is currently assigned to the position of Special Education Teacher, College

View School. An application has been submitted to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing

for the above waiver request. In the meantime, he has been issued a Temporary County

Certificate from the Los Angeles County Office of Education to serve in this position.

Notwithstanding, Glendale Unified School District will hire waiver permit teachers only when

qualified, capable, fully certified teachers are unavailable.

This Waiver Request will remain in force until June 30, 2020. Submission of the Waiver request

by the local education agency is a prerequisite to the issuance of any waiver permit by the

California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. California Code of Regulations Section

80120 requires that the request for the waiver be adopted by the Governing Board at a regularly

scheduled, public meeting of the Board. The waiver will provide teachers additional time to

complete the requirements for the credential that authorizes the service assigned. The waiver is

based on last year’s actual needs, projected student enrollment and staffing allocations for the

2019-2020 school year.

Our continued District Priority is to recruit and hire fully credentialed and qualified teachers, but

where that may not be possible, this will help ensure that the District has the correct people in

each position, and appropriate professional development, time, and support to be successful in

their jobs.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

1. School Nutrition Employee Week - May 4-8, 2020 we celebrate School Nutrition Employee Week. Even while we are remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our school nutrition employees are working on the frontline every day, preparing and serving nutritious meals to children. Every year, but this year, in particular, their contributions to the school district are worthy of special recognition.

2. National School Nurse Day - May 6, 2020 is National School Nurse Day and is sponsored by the National Association of School Nurses. Nurses play an important role in maintaining the wellness of students, as well as providing valuable resources on health-related issues to staff, parents, and the community. They work behind the scenes, but their contributions to the school district are worthy of special recognition. Michelle Green, Health Services Coordinator for the district, accepted a certificate of appreciation from the Board of Education.

3. Teacher Appreciation - May4 - 8,2020 we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5, 2020 is National Teacher Appreciation Day, and May 13, 2020 is California Day of the Teacher. The Board of Education invited Glendale Teachers Association president Taline Arsenian to attend the meeting via Zoom as we recognize and appreciate the pivotal role our teachers play in preparing children for college, career, and life. Students from Balboa Elementary presented a video in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day.

STUDENT BOARD MEMBER REPORT

Student Board Member Janet Louie provided some updates on school activities and focused on the efforts that students and teachers have been making to make the community strong during these times and on remote learning. AP testing is coming up, May 11-22, 2020. She reached out to high school students regarding remote learning. As expected, there were different opinions among the students. She read comments from students regarding their experience with online learning. The most problems students have centers around the lack offace-to-face interactions with their teachers. The most positive reactions came from students who felt their teachers have done a thorough enough job in explaining the assignments. Time and constant communication continue to prove to be the best influence on remote learning system.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATION

1. John Ballon, Franklin Elementary parent, said he is grateful to Dr. Ekchian for the excellent information listed on the GUSD COVID-19 resource page. He spoke of some Facebook posts entered by the Board president that contradicts the guidance that medical science is asking everyone to follow. He felt the posts were not accurate. When he and several other parents posted fact-based rebuttals, she blocked them.

MINUTES: May 5,2020- Regular Board Meeting

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS (Continued)

One of our LCAP goals is engagement. When our Board president is blocking parents, you risk alienating some of our most engaged parents. Our community should know which posts represent the views of GUSD and which do not. You are free to post what you would like, but as we have seen, words have consequences. He is standing for the truth today.

2. Monna Johnson, president of the Glendale Council PTA, congratulated Dr. Gharpetian for being selected president of the Board. She thanked Dr. Ekchian for her leadership and for cultivating a collaborative culture for all stakeholders. This week we honor our teachers for their dedication to our students. They understand the tremendous responsibility that the pandemic has placed on our teachers and administrators, and they cannot thank them enough for ensuring that our students have a quality education. She thanked the Nutrition Services Department for feeding our families during this crisis. In the spirit of the collaboration with GUSD, Glendale Council PTA delivered a letter regarding their experiences with remote learning. She thanked Dr. Ekchian and GT A for responding to their letter and for considering their recommendations. What they have noticed is that remote education is overly reliant on independent study. Active instruction is not required. Quality and frequency of communication is inconsistently experienced and not adequately mandated. Stated expectations for performance are not defined and are inconsistently applied within and among school sites and grade levels. The lack of uniformity in remote learning platforms overly burdens students and families. They seek clearly defined expectations and goals in a robust remote learning model at GUSD, steamline tools to develop widespread proficiency among all users, and to equip families in their new role as critical partners in the remote classroom.

CLOSED SESSION

The Board recessed to Closed Session at 5:38 p.m. to discuss the following:

kids. We need to do right by our students and give the tools and support that the adults need so they can do right for their students. We had some good examples today. Having some face-to-face contact with their teachers is a powerful piece. Teaching is about engaging and demonstrating care. We received a letter from the Glendale Council PTA regarding their concerns about the over reliance on independent studies. This has been an emergency situation. As we move further, let's look at the wonderful presentations where they are actively doing instruction and showing up for their students. It has been four weeks of remote learning. Let's work together so we can prepare our students for the next level.

Mr. Sahakian acknowledged all the recognitions today. We are truly learning together. Last night he and Dr. Gharpetian were on the GHS PTA zoom meeting. Also, last week we had an implicit bias training with Dr. ShaUll Harper from USC Equity Center with over 100 employees participating. He thanked Dr. Ekchian for making it possible for the Board to join in the classrooms to experience virtual learning. He attended several classes. He acknowledged the Glendale Council PTA letter as well. The parents have identified some concerns. Weare going to improve. Ultimately, we will determine the future of the school district together. We will be stronger together.

Mrs. Freemon said the Board met Dr. Ekchian one year ago and she is happy she is on board. We are still able to celebrate our nutrition workers, teachers, nurses, even though it looks different. We are working in a crisis mode. What that looks like is different for everyone. We are starting to see the importance of teachers interacting with students. The PTA letter has articulated the feedback we have been getting. It was wonderful to see best practices; the personal connection. We are in a people business. Today, she participated in a remote Roosevelt PTA meeting; they had a greater turnout. We have now developed skillsets we did not have before. We are still serving meals and we will continue serving meals.

Mr. Krikorian said he received some emails in response to his comments today about the challenges our students and teachers are facing. As leaders, we need to speak up. We have mentors and teacher aids. He suggested we "buddy up" teachers with college students in the teaching program to assist. He wished all the mothers in the district a Happy Mother's Day this Sunday. He is excited for the future, although it may not look the same. He also participated in the implicit bias training with Dr. Shaun Harper.

Dr. Ghametian attended the GHS PTA virtual meeting. It was a great turnout. She attended four classrooms virhJally. It is priceless when students have face-to-face interactions with their teachers. She participated in the implicit bias training for administrators. We had over 117 participants. She hopes we will continue this training in the future. She participated in the parent support group, coordinated by Dr. Hin Magran, Student Wellness Services. One mom said her seven-year old son has had no interaction with the teacher and classmates. Our students need to see their teachers. She was able to participate in the Verdugo Schools-to-Career Coalition meeting. They were getting updates from different organizations. She would like to


REPORTS FROM THE BOARD (Continued)

request a staff member to attend the next meeting. The Toll parent forum on mental health was a great success. It was well done and was organized by the Toll PTA and GUSD staff. AP exams are coming up; students are getting ready. In the coming weeks, we will have more presentations on school opening and summer school. Our board meetings are a perfect example of physical distancing. We have hand sanitizers; everyone wears a mask when entering the building. She wished everyone a Happy Mother's Day, and wished Dr. Ekchian a happy first year anniversary with GUSD. Having Dr. Ekchian on board has made a big difference.

REPORT FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

Dr. Ekchian said as we move forward and continue to evaluate our processes for remote learning, she will work in collaboration with GTA leadership, site-based teachers, principals, support staff, district staff, parents, and students. It is a complex challenge we face overnight. Additionally, a survey will be going out to parents. She learned that students taldng the AP exam could use a quiet place for testing. We have facilitated the board room for them and will offer proctored exam testing. The district office has been open every day. Students are asked to contact us, and we will make the arrangements. It has been a pleasure serving this community.

PREPARED BY: Dr. Rebeca Andrade, Director, Early Education and Extended

Learning Programs

SUBJECT: Approval of Monthly Fee Structure for EEELP Self-

Supporting Program for 2020-2021

The Superintendent recommends that the Board of

Education approve the Early Education and Extended

Learning Programs Department (EEELP) move to a

monthly fee structure rather than a daily rate structure for

the School-Age Before- and After-School Self Supporting

Program.

Effective July 1, 2020, the Early Education and Extended Learning Programs Department

(EEELP) will move to a monthly fee structure rather than a daily rate structure. EEELP

will not be raising fees at this time of COVID-19, even though there has been an increase

in the Standard Reimbursement Rate (SRR) with the Budget Act of 2019, as doing so

would have a significant negative economic impact on families. Rather, this monthly fee

structure is based on the SRR of $47.98 as established by the Budget Act of 2018. The

department is notifying the state of this decision.

The practice of monthly fees was utilized by EEELP years ago and is being reinstituted in

response to the challenges parents have voiced in understanding the current billing and

invoicing framework. A set monthly fee will make it easier for families to anticipate the

cost of—and plan ahead for—their before- and after-school care needs as well as decrease

the time needed for staff to prepare invoices. The fee structure change applies only to the

School-Age Before-and-After-School self-supporting program. Self-supporting

preschool already utilizes a monthly fee structure.

The monthly fees are calculated based on the SRR daily rate of $47.98, adjusted for hours

attended, multiplied by 180 days of operation, divided by 10 months of billing, and



May 19, 2020

Page 2

rounded to the nearest dollar. The months of August and June are billed at half of the

monthly fee.

The fees will not be adjusted for absences, minimum days, banking days, pupil-free days,

or holidays. Pupil-free days are available to anyone at the daily rate of $50.00.

SUBJECT: Acceptance of Career Technical Education Incentive Grant


Education accept $726,914 in funding from the Career

Technical Education Incentive Grant for the 2019-2020

school year.

The Glendale Unified School District has been awarded funds for the 2019-2020 school

year from the Career Technical Education Incentive Grant (CTEIG). Funds are available

through December 31, 2021. The CTEIG requires a match of two dollars for every one

dollar received from the program. The local match from Glendale Unified School

District will be from the Local Control and Accountability Plan, California Partnership

Academy, Carl D. Perkins, and Measure S.

The CTEIG was created as a state education, economic, and workforce development

initiative with the goal of providing pupils in kindergarten through grade twelve,

inclusive, with the knowledge and skills necessary to transition to employment and

postsecondary education. The purpose of the program is to encourage and maintain the

delivery of Career Technical Education (CTE) programs (Education Code (EC) sections

53070–53076.4).

The focus of the grant program is the delivery and sustainability of high-quality CTE

programs. Grantees must implement and maintain a CTE program meeting the elements

of a high-quality CTE program pursuant to EC 53070–53076.4:

1. Offers high-quality curriculum and instruction aligned with the California CTE

Model Curriculum Standards, including, but not limited to, providing a coherent

sequence of CTE courses that enable pupils to transition to postsecondary

education programs that lead to a career pathway or attain employment upon

graduation from high school.



May 19, 2020

Page 2

2. Provides pupils with quality career exploration and guidance.

3. Provides pupil support services, including counseling and leadership

development.

4. Provides for system alignment, coherence, and articulation, including ongoing

and structural regional or local partnerships with postsecondary educational

institutions, with documented formal written agreements.

5. Forms ongoing and meaningful industry and labor partnerships, evidenced by

written agreements and through participation on advisory committees and

collaboration with business and labor organizations to provide opportunities

for pupils to gain to access to pre-apprenticeships, internships, industry

AP Computer Science Principles Page 2

Course Content-First Semester Unit 1: Digital Information (2 weeks) Students explore how computers store complex information like numbers, text, images and sound and debate the impacts of digitizing information. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 2.1 - A variety of abstractions built upon binary sequences can be used to represent all digital data. 3.3 - There are trade offs when representing information as digital data. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) DA - Data & Analysis Sample student task: Develop a Heuristic Vocabulary Heuristic: A problem solving approach (typically an algorithm) to find a satisfactory solution where finding an optimal or exact solution is impractical or impossible. Continue working on compressing your poem using the Text Compression Widget. As you do so, develop a set of rules, or a “heuristic” that generally seems to provide good results.

• Record your heuristic as a list of steps that someone else unfamiliar with the problem could follow and still end up with decent compression.

• Trade your heuristics with another group. Are they clear and specific enough that you always know what to do? If not, provide feedback to one another and improve your heuristics to provide clearer instructions.

• Using another group’s heuristic, attempt to compress one or more of the poems in the tool. Record the amount of compression you achieve.

Unit 2: The Internet (3 weeks) Students learn about how the Internet works and debate its impacts on politics, culture, and the economy. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CL - Collaboration CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 2.1 - A variety of abstractions built upon binary sequences can be used to represent all digital data.


2.3 - Models and simulations use abstraction to generate new understanding and knowledge. 3.1 - People use computer programs to process information to gain insight and knowledge. 3.3 - There are trade offs when representing information as digital data. 6.1 - The Internet is a network of autonomous systems. 6.2 - Characteristics of the Internet influence the systems built on it. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming DA - Data & Analysis NI - Networks & the Internet Sample task: The 2-bit Message Exchange Challenge! Students will practice relaying a 2-bit sequence with their partners. The goal is to exchange 2-bit messages (partner sends a 2-bit message, other partner sends a 2-bit message back) as quickly and accurately as possible. In other words, students are trying to get the fastest bit rate possible.

• Each initial sender should be able to confirm that the message was received correctly and resent because the message that they have received is the same as the original.

• As students iterate and perfect their protocol, they should try to extend their protocol to send more bits or send them more quickly, while maintaining accuracy.

Unit 3: Intro to App Design (4 weeks) Students design an app while learning both fundamental programming concepts and collaborative software development processes. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CL - Collaboration CPP - Computing Practice & Programming CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 5.1 - Programs can be developed for creative expression, to satisfy personal curiosity, to create new knowledge, or to solve problems (to help people, organizations, or society). 5.2 - People write programs to execute algorithms. 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming Sample task: Students read and use App Lab’s API documentation to learn about new turtle commands that they must use to complete a series of drawing puzzles.


Vocabulary

• API - a collection of commands made available to a programmer • Documentation - a description of the behavior of a command, function, library, API, etc. • Hexadecimal - A base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols 0-9 and A-F to

represent numbers from 0 to 15. • Library - a collection of commands / functions, typically with a shared purpose • Parameter - An extra piece of information passed to a function to customize it for a specific

need Unit 4: Variables, Conditionals, and Functions (5 weeks) Students expand the types of apps they can create by adding the ability to store information, make decisions, and better organize code. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CL - Collaboration CPP - Computing Practice & Programming CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 2.2 - Multiple levels of abstraction are used to write programs or create other computational artifacts 5.3 - Programming is facilitated by appropriate abstractions. 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming CS - Computing Systems

Sample task: Define a function called turnAround which turns the turtle around. Once you've defined the function call it to make sure it works as you expect and then move the turtle forward, as shown below.

Remember typically, you call a function in lines of code above the function definition - this might make you feel like you are working in reverse, since you first write the code to define the function and then add a line to call it. Here is the moveTwice example from the video. You should do something similar for turnAround.


Unit 5: Lists, Loops, and Traversals (5 weeks) Students build apps that use large amounts of information and pull in data from the web to create a wider variety of apps. STANDARDS 3.1 - People use computer programs to process information to gain insight and knowledge. 4.1 - Algorithms are precise sequences of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer and are implemented using programming languages. 5.2 - People write programs to execute algorithms. 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. 5.5 - Programming uses mathematical and logical concepts. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming

Sample task: Students learn to use random values and looping to create variation in their drawings and quickly duplicate objects they wish to appear in their digital scenes many times. Students will be presented with a version of the for loop which only enables them to change the number of times the loop runs. This block is essentially a "repeat" block and will be presented that way. Students will also be presented with blocks which enable them to choose a random number within a given range.

Course Content-Second Semester

Unit 6: Algorithms (4 weeks) Students design and analyze algorithms to understand how they work and why some are considered better than others. STANDARDS Computer Science Principles 2.2 - Multiple levels of abstraction are used to write programs or create other computational artifacts 4.1 - Algorithms are precise sequences of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer and are implemented using programming languages. 5.2 - People write programs to execute algorithms. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming


Sample task: Using only the Human Machine Language design an algorithm to find the smallest card and move it to the front of the list (position 0). All of the other cards must remain in their original relative ordering. END STATE: When the program stops, the smallest card should be in position 0. The ending positions of the hands do not matter, the ending positions of the other cards do not matter. As a challenge: try to move the min-to-front and have all other cards be in their original relative ordering. Unit 7: Parameters, Return, and Libraries (4 weeks) Students learn how to design clean and reusable code that can be shared with a single classmate or the entire world. STANDARDS CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2011) CL - Collaboration CPP - Computing Practice & Programming CT - Computational Thinking Computer Science Principles 1.1 - Creative development can be an essential process for creating computational artifacts. 1.2 - Computing enables people to use creative development processes to create computational artifacts for creative expression or to solve a problem. 5.1 - Programs can be developed for creative expression, to satisfy personal curiosity, to create new knowledge, or to solve problems (to help people, organizations, or society). 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming CS - Computing Systems

Sample task: Descriptive IDs You try it - give your buttons descriptive and meaningful IDs rather than the default button1, button2 and so forth. After you change the ID in Design Mode remember to:

• Change the event handler code so that it correctly references the new IDs of the buttons • Run - Test - Debug the program to make sure it works, and debug any problems.


Unit 8: Create PT Prep (6 weeks) Students practice and then complete the Create Performance Task (PT). STANDARDS Computer Science Principles 1.2 - Computing enables people to use creative development processes to create computational artifacts for creative expression or to solve a problem. 2.2 - Multiple levels of abstraction are used to write programs or create other computational artifacts 4.1 - Algorithms are precise sequences of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer and are implemented using programming languages. 5.1 - Programs can be developed for creative expression, to satisfy personal curiosity, to create new knowledge, or to solve problems (to help people, organizations, or society). 5.2 - People write programs to execute algorithms. 5.3 - Programming is facilitated by appropriate abstractions. 5.4 - Programs are developed, maintained, and used by people for different purposes. 5.5 - Programming uses mathematical and logical concepts. 7.5 - An investigative process is aided by effective organization and selection of resources. Appropriate technologies and tools facilitate the accessing of information and enable the ability to evaluate the credibility of sources. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming Sample task: Read and then discuss with a partner (1) the "Submission Requirements" section on pages 10-11, and (2) the Scoring Guidelines. For the Scoring Guidelines you can focus only on the first 3 columns for now: "Reporting Category", "Task", "Scoring Criteria". We'll dive into the decision rules later. Just get familiar with these documents. After reading discuss with a partner:

• What will you actually be turning in to the College Board? • What are you hoping will become more clear after looking at example projects?

Unit 9: Data (3 weeks) Students explore and visualize datasets from a wide variety of topics as they hunt for patterns and try to learn more about the world around them. STANDARDS Computer Science Principles 3.2 - Computing facilitates exploration and the discovery of connections in information. 7.2 - Computing enables innovation in nearly every field.


7.5 - An investigative process is aided by effective organization and selection of resources.

CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) DA - Data & Analysis IC - Impacts of Computing Lesson 2: Finding Trends with Visua

Sample task: The One-Pager In the professional world it is common to ask someone to do a bit of online research and then prepare a one-page summary or “one-pager” to show the rest of the team or colleagues about the highlights of what you found. For this project you will prepare a one-pager that explains how some technological innovation uses data. Unit 10: Cybersecurity and Global Impacts (3 weeks) Students research and debate current events at the intersection of data, public policy, law, ethics, and societal impact. STANDARDS Computer Science Principles 3.2 - Computing facilitates exploration and the discovery of connections in information. 3.3 - There are trade offs when representing information as digital data. 7.3 - Computing has a global affect -- both beneficial and harmful -- on people and society. CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) IC - Impacts of Computing NI - Networks & the Internet Sample task:

• Students should type in their information (birthday, ZIP code, and gender) to determine how many other people share those characteristics.

• In most instances, they will find that those three pieces of information can uniquely identify them.

Thinking Prompt:

• "Why is it significant that you are one of only a few people with your birthday, gender, and ZIP code? What concerns does this raise?"

Discuss: In small groups or as a full class, students will discuss their responses. The main points to draw out from this conversation are:

• We can be uniquely identified from just a few pieces of information.


• Even information we would not normally consider to be “sensitive” can still be used to identify us.

• There are security and privacy concerns raised as a result of most information about us being available online.

Assessment Overview The AP Computer Science Principles assessment consists of two parts: performance tasks and the end-of-course AP Multiple Choice Exam. Both measure student achievement of the course learning objectives. Summative assessments for each unit of study are found on the College Board’s AP Classroom site, and are completed online.

Classes) as recommended by the California School Boards

Association (CSBA) and to comply with Education Code

and federal and state laws.

BP 0420.4 – Charter Schools Authorization

CSBA Update March 2020

Last GUSD Update July 2019

Board Policy (BP) 0420.4 is updated to reflect a new law (AB 1505 and 1595), which

extends the timeline for holding a public hearing to determine the level of support for a

charter petition, extends the timeline for making a final decision to grant or deny the

petition, defines receipt of the petition for the purpose of determining the beginning of this

time period, and requires publishing staff recommendations 15 days prior to the hearing at

which the final decision will be made. As amended, the criteria for reviewing the petition

requires consideration of the interests of the community in which the school is proposing

to locate and prohibit the approval of a new charter school offering nonclassroom-based

instruction until January 1, 2022.

BP 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 – Working Remotely

CSBA Update: April 2020

Last GUSD Update: N/A



May 19, 2020

Page 2

This new policy addresses issues applicable to employees who work from home or another

remote location, whether due to a school closure resulting from a widespread illness,

natural disaster, or other emergency condition or upon the request of an individual

employee. The policy clarifies that there is no entitlement to work remotely and that

employees who are granted the ability to work remotely are subject to the same

compensation, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment appropriate for the

position. The policy also addresses work hours, work environment, use of District

equipment, reimbursement of expenses, safeguarding of District records, evaluation of job

performance, and discontinuance of the remote work arrangement at the District's

discretion.

BP/AR 4113.9 – Department Chairpersons

CSBA Update: N/A

Last GUSD Update: February 2004

At its meeting on May 5, 2020, new Board Policy (BP) 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 regarding

Working Remotely was presented for first reading. The policy was added by the California

School Boards Association (CSBA) in their April policy guidelines update in response to

the coronavirus epidemic. This policy is on the agenda for approval at the May 19, 2020

Board meeting.

Since GUSD already had BP and Administrative Regulation (AR) 4113.5 assigned to

another topic, Department Chairpersons, the BP and AR for Department Chairpersons is

being changed to 4113.9. There are no other changes to the policy/regulation, which

addresses the selection of department chairpersons at secondary schools, other than the

number. CSBA does not currently have a policy or regulation assigned to this number or

for this topic.

BP 5141.52 – Suicide Prevention


Last GUSD Update February 2019

This policy is updated using California School Boards Association (CSBA) suggested

language to reflect a new law (AB 1767), which mandates age-appropriate policy on

suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention for students in grades K-6 beginning in

the 2020-21 school year. The revised policy reflects requirements to consult with specified

stakeholders on policy development, coordinate with the county mental health plan

whenever a referral is made for mental health or related services for a student in grades K-

6 who is a Medi-Cal beneficiary, and ensure that employees act within the authorization

and scope of their credential or license. It also reflects a new law (AB 34), which requires

the District, beginning in the 2020-21 school year, to post its suicide prevention policy in

a prominent location on its web site.

BP 5144.1 – Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process


Last GUSD Update December 2018

BP 5144.1 is revised to reflect a new law (SB 419), which prohibits districts from

suspending students in grades 4-8 for disrupting school activities or willfully defying the

authority of school personnel. The revised policy also references a new law (AB 982),

which requires a district to provide a student who is suspended for two or more days with

the homework assigned during the period of suspension.

BP 6172.1 – Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes


Last GUSD Update August 2018

This policy is updated to include exceptions in determining the five percent enrollment cap

on the number of students at each grade level who may be recommended for community

college summer session and to reflect a new law (AB 1729), which extends such exceptions

through January 1, 2027. The revised policy reflects another new law (SB 554), which

authorizes an adult education student pursuing a high school diploma or high school

equivalency certificate to attend community college as a special part-time student. The

policy adds new sections for districts that wish to establish a College and Career Access

Pathways (CCAP) partnership program, in which the board enters into an agreement with

the governing board of a community college district to offer or expand dual enrollment

opportunities for students who may not already be college bound or are unrepresented in

higher education.

Upon approval of the Board Policies, new or revised Administrative Regulations will be

presented as needed following the normal District process.

Copies of the new and revised policies are attached to this report.

schools.”

Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 1 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization The Board of Education recognizes that charter schools may assist the District in offering diverse learning opportunities for students. In considering any petition to establish a charter school within the District, the Board shall give thoughtful consideration to the potential of the charter school to provide students with a high-quality education that enables them to achieve to their fullest potential. One or more persons may submit a petition for a charter school to be established within the District or for the conversion of an existing District school to a charter school. (Education Code 47605) Any petition for a charter school shall include all components, signatures, and statements required by law as specified in the accompanying administrative regulation. The proposed charter shall be attached to the petition. (Education Code 47605)

The Superintendent or designee shall consult with legal counsel, as appropriate, regarding compliance of the charter proposals with legal requirements. The Superintendent or designee may work with charter school petitioners prior to the formal submission of the petition in order to ensure compliance of the petition with legal requirements. As needed, the Superintendent or designee also may meet with the petitioners to establish workable plans for contracted services which the District may provide to the proposed charter school.

The Board shall not require any District student to attend the charter school nor shall it require any District employee to work at the charter school. (Education Code 47605) A. Timelines for Board Action

Within 60 days of formally receiving a charter petition, the Board of Education shall hold a public hearing at which time the Board shall consider the level of support for the petition by teachers, other employees of the District, and parents/guardians. A petition is deemed received on the day the petitioner submits a petition to the District office, along with a signed certification that the petitioner deems the petition to be complete. (Education Code 47605) The Board shall either grant or deny the petition at a public hearing held within 90 days of receiving the petition, or within 120 days with the consent of both the petitioner and the Board. (Education Code 47605)

http://gamutonline.net/displayPolicy/899509/0

Glendale Unified School District BP 0420.4 Board Policy Page 2 of 5 Philosophy — Goals - Objectives and Comprehensive Plans Charter Schools Authorization

At least 15 days before the public hearing at which the Board will grant or deny the charter, the District shall publish all staff recommendations regarding the petition, including any recommended findings and, if applicable, certification from the County Superintendent of Schools regarding the potential fiscal impact of the charter school on the District. During the public hearing, the petitioners shall have equal time and opportunity to present evidence and testimony in response to the staff recommendations and findings. (Education Code 47605) The Superintendent or designee shall maintain accurate records, in relation to each charter petition, of documents submitted, the Board's proceedings, and the findings upon which the Board's decision is made.

B. Approval of Petition

1. A charter petition shall be granted only if the Board is satisfied that doing so is consistent with sound educational practice and the interests of the community in which the school is proposing to locate. In granting charters, the Board shall consider the academic needs of the students the charter school proposes to serve and shall give preference to petitions that demonstrate the capability to provide comprehensive learning experiences for students who are identified by the petitioner as academically low-achieving, based on standards established by California Department of Education. (Education Code 47605)

2. Prior to authorizing any charter, the Board of Education shall verify that the

charter includes adequate processes and measures for monitoring and holding the school accountable for fulfilling the terms of its charter and complying with all applicable law, including Education Code 47604.1. Such processes and measures shall include, but are not limited to, fiscal accountability systems, multiple measures for evaluating the educational program, inspection and observations of any part of the charter school, and regular reports to the Board.

3. The approval or denial of a charter petition shall not be controlled by collective

bargaining agreements nor subject to review or regulation by the Public Employment Relations Board. (Education Code 47611.5)

4. The Board may approve one or more memoranda of understanding to clarify the

financial and operational agreements between the District and the charter school. Any such memorandum of understanding shall be annually reviewed by the Board and charter school governing body and amended as necessary.



5. The Board of Education may initially grant a charter for a specified term not to

exceed five years. (Education Code 47607) 6. When a petition is approved by the Board, it shall be the responsibility of the

petitioners to provide written notice of the Board's approval and a copy of the charter to the County Superintendent of Schools, the CDE, and the State Board of Education (SBE). (Education Code 47605)

C. Denial of Petition

The Board shall summarily deny any charter petition that proposes to: 1. Operate a charter school as or by a for-profit corporation, a for-profit educational

management organization, or a for-profit charter management organization. (Education Code 47604)

2. Convert a private school to a charter school. (Education Code 47602)

3. Serve students in a grade level that is not served by the District, unless the petition

proposes to serve students in all the grade levels served by the District. (Education Code 47605)

4. Offer nonclassroom-based instruction. (Education Code 47512.7)

Regarding all other charter petitions, the Board shall deny a petition only if the Board makes written factual findings specific to the petition that one or more of the following conditions exist. (Education Code 47605; CCR 11967.5.1)

1. The charter school presents an unsound educational program that has a likelihood

of physical, educational, or psychological harm to, or which is not likely to provide an educational benefit for, the students to be enrolled in the charter school.

2. The petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program

set forth in the petition. 3. The petition does not contain the number of signatures required.




4. The petition does not contain a clear, unequivocal statement described in Education Code 47605(e), including that the charter school will be nonsectarian and that the school shall not charge tuition or discriminate against any student based on the characteristics specified in Education Code 220.

5. The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of the

charter provisions in Education Code 47605(c). 6. The petition does not contain a declaration as to whether or not the charter school

shall be deemed the exclusive public school employer of the school's employees for purposes of collective bargaining pursuant to Government Code 3540-3549.3.

7. The charter school is demonstrably unlikely to serve the interests of the entire

community in which the school is proposing to locate. Analysis of this finding shall include consideration of the fiscal impact of the proposed charter school. A written factual finding shall detail specific facts and circumstances regarding:

a. The extent to which the proposed charter school would substantially

undermine existing services, academic offerings, or programmatic offerings.

b. Whether the proposed charter school would duplicate a program currently

offered within the District, when the existing program has sufficient capacity for the students proposed to be served within reasonable proximity to where the charter school intends to locate.

8. The District is not positioned to absorb the fiscal impact of the proposed charter

school. The District meets this criterion if it has a negative interim certification, or has a qualified interim certification and the County Superintendent certifies that approving the charter school would result in the District having a negative interim certification.

The Board shall not deny a petition based on the actual or potential costs of serving students with disabilities, nor shall it deny a petition solely because the charter school might enroll students with disabilities who reside outside the special education local plan area in which the District participates. (Education Code 47605.7, 47647)

D. Appeals


If the Board denies a petition, the petitioners may choose to submit the petition to the County Board of Education and, if then denied by the County Board, to the SBE. (Education Code 47605)

At the request of the petitioner, the Board shall prepare the documentary record, including a transcript of the public hearing at which the Board denied the charter, no later than 10 business days after the petitioner makes the request. (Education Code 47605)

Within 30 days of receipt of an appeal submitted to SBE, the Board may submit a written opposition to SBE detailing, with specific citations to the documentary record, how the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the petition. (Education Code 47605)

If either the County Board or SBE remands the petition to the Board because the petition on appeal contains new or different material terms, the Board shall reconsider the petition and shall grant or deny the petition within 30 days. (Education Code 47605)

Glendale Unified School District BP 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 Board Policy Page 1 of 2 Personnel Working Remotely The Governing Board recognizes that working remotely at home or at another alternative location may be necessary at times when widespread illness, natural disaster, or other emergency condition makes the school or worksite unsafe or otherwise interrupts the District's ability to effectively conduct operations at the school or worksite. A full-time, part-time, or short-term remote work arrangement may also be granted by the Superintendent or designee to an individual employee, upon request, provided that the position is suitable for remote work, the employee has consistently demonstrated the ability to work independently and meet performance expectations, and the work arrangement does not hinder District operations. The opportunity to work remotely shall be entirely at the District's discretion, and no grievance or appeal right may arise from District denial of any employee request for remote work. Employees approved for remote work shall comply with all District policies, administrative regulations, work schedules, and job assignments. Except when specifically agreed, approval of remote work shall not change the compensation, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment of an employee. Unless otherwise approved in advance by the Superintendent or designee, employees working remotely shall do so within regular work hours established for the position. Employees are entitled and expected to take appropriate, uninterrupted meal and rest breaks, and shall keep accurate records of the hours they work. Employees shall notify their supervisor when unable to perform work assignments due to illness, equipment failure, or other unforeseen circumstances. Employees working remotely are expected to conduct their work in a location that is safe and free of obstructions, hazards, and distractions. Such employees shall report to their supervisor any serious injury or illness occurring in the home workspace or in connection with their employment as soon as practically possible in accordance with Board policy. The District shall provide to employees who work remotely all supplies, materials, apparatus, and equipment reasonably necessary to perform their jobs, including, as necessary, a technology device and Internet access. Employees shall use caution in accessing the Internet from public locations and in accessing information from networks outside of the District in order to safeguard confidential information. Employees shall be responsible for maintaining and protecting equipment on loan from the District and shall adhere to the District's Acceptable Use Agreement. The employee's personally owned equipment may only be used for District business when approved by the Superintendent or designee. Work done at a remote work location is considered official public business. District records and communications shall be retained and safeguarded against damage or loss, and shall be kept

Glendale Unified School District BP 4113.5/4213.5/4313.5 Board Policy Page 2 of 2 Personnel Working Remotely confidential or made accessible to the public in accordance with law. Any employee working remotely shall be available during work hours to the employee's supervisor and other staff, students, parents/guardians, and members of the public, as appropriate, via email, phone, or other means. Lack of responsiveness on the part of the employee may result in discipline and/or termination of remote work responsibilities. Employees shall be required to attend virtual or in-person meetings when directed by their supervisor. Employee productivity shall be evaluated on the basis of time spent on tasks and projects, task completion, and quality of job performance in the same manner as all employees in the same position at the assigned school or office.

Glendale Unified School District BP 5141.52 Board Policy Page 1 of 3 Students Suicide Prevention The Board of Education recognizes that suicide is a leading cause of death among youth and that school personnel who regularly interact with students are often in a position to recognize the warning signs of suicide and to offer appropriate referral and/or assistance. In an effort to reduce suicidal behavior and its impact on students and families, the Superintendent or designee shall develop measures and strategies for suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. In developing measures and strategies for suicide prevention and intervention, the Superintendent or designee shall consult with school and community stakeholders such as administrators, other staff, parents/guardians, and students; school-employed mental health professionals such as school counselors, school psychologists, school social workers, and school nurses; suicide prevention experts such as local health agencies, mental health professionals, and community organizations; law enforcement; and, in developing policy for grades K-6, the county mental health plan. (Education Code 215) The Board shall ensure that measures and strategies for students in grades K-6 are age appropriate and delivered and discussed in a manner that is sensitive to the needs of young students. (Education Code 215) Measures and strategies for suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention shall include, but are not limited to:

1. Staff development on suicide awareness and prevention for teachers, school counselors,

and other District employees who interact with students, as described in the accompanying administrative regulation.

2. Instruction to students in problem-solving and coping skills to promote students' mental,

emotional, and social health and well-being, as well as instruction in recognizing and appropriately responding to warning signs of suicidal intent in others. As a result of this instruction, students should know how to access school-based and community prevention and intervention resources and supports.

3. Methods for promoting a positive school climate that enhances students' feelings of

connectedness with the school and that is characterized by caring staff and harmonious interrelationships among students.

4. The provision of information to parents/guardians regarding risk factors and warning

signs of suicide, the severity of the suicide problem among youth, the District's suicide prevention curriculum, basic steps for helping suicidal youth, and/or school and community resources that can help youth in crisis.

Glendale Unified School District BP 5141.52 Board Policy Page 2 of 3 Students Suicide Prevention 5. Encouragement for students to notify appropriate school personnel or other adults when

they are experiencing thoughts of suicide or when they suspect or have knowledge of another student's suicidal intentions.

6. Crisis intervention procedures for addressing suicide threats or attempts. 7. Counseling and other postvention strategies for helping students, staff, and others cope in

the aftermath of a student's suicide. As appropriate, these measures and strategies shall specifically address the needs of students who are at high risk of suicide, including, but not limited to, students who are bereaved by suicide; students with disabilities, mental illness, or substance use disorders; students who are experiencing homelessness or who are in out-of-home settings such as foster care; and students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning youth. (Education Code 215) If a referral is made for mental health or related services for a student in grade K-6 who is a Medi-Cal beneficiary, the Superintendent or designee shall coordinate and consult with the county mental health plan. (Education Code 215) District employees shall act only within the authorization and scope of their credential or license. Nothing in this policy shall be construed as authorizing or encouraging District employees to diagnose or treat mental illness unless they are specifically licensed and employed to do so. (Education Code 215) The Board shall review, and update as necessary, this policy at least every three years. (Education Code 215) The Superintendent or designee shall post this policy on the District's web site, in a prominent location and in a manner that is easily accessible to parents/guardians and students.

Glendale Unified School District BP 5144.1 Board Policy Page 1 of 5 Students Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process The Board of Education desires to provide District students access to educational opportunities in an orderly school environment that protects their safety and security, ensures their welfare and well-being, and promotes their learning and development. The Board shall develop rules and regulations setting the standards of behavior expected of District students and the disciplinary processes and procedures for addressing violations of those standards, including suspension and/or expulsion. The grounds for suspension and expulsion and the procedures for considering, recommending, and/or implementing suspension and expulsion shall be only those specified in law, in this policy, and in the accompanying administrative regulation. Except when otherwise permitted by law, a student may be suspended or expelled only when his/her behavior is related to a school activity or school attendance occurring within any District school or another school district, regardless of when it occurs, including, but not limited to, the following: (Education Code 48900(s))

1. While on school grounds. 2. While going to or coming from school. 3. During the lunch period, whether on or off the school campus. 4. During, going to, or coming from a school-sponsored activity.

District staff shall enforce the rules concerning suspension and expulsion of students fairly, consistently, equally, and in accordance with the District’s nondiscrimination policies. When a parent/guardian of a student in grades 1-12 who has been suspended for two or more school days requests homework that the student would otherwise have been assigned, the student's teacher must provide such homework; see BP 6154 - Homework/Makeup Work. A. Appropriate Use of Suspension Authority

Except when a student’s act violates Education Code 48900(a)-(e), as listed in items #1-5 under “Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion: Grades K-12” of the accompanying administrative regulation, or when the student’s presence causes a danger to others, suspension shall be used only when other means of correction have failed to bring about proper conduct. (Education Code 48900.5, 48900.6)

A student’s parents/guardians shall be notified as soon as possible when there is an

Glendale Unified School District BP 5144.1 Board Policy Page 2 of 5 Students Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process

escalating pattern of misbehavior that could lead to on-campus or off-campus suspension.

No student in grades K-8 may be suspended for disruption or willful defiance, except by a teacher pursuant to Education Code 48910. (Education Code 48900) Students shall not be suspended or expelled for truancy, tardiness, or absenteeism from assigned school activities.

B. On-Campus Suspension

To ensure the proper supervision and ongoing learning of students who are suspended for any of the reasons enumerated in Education Code 48900 and 48900.2, but who pose no imminent danger or threat to anyone at school and for whom expulsion proceedings have not been initiated, the Superintendent or designee shall establish a supervised suspension classroom program which meets the requirements of law.

Except where a supervised suspension is permitted by law for a student’s first offense, supervised suspension shall be imposed only when other means of correction have failed to bring about proper conduct. (Education Code 48900.5)

C. Authority to Expel

A student may be expelled only by the Board. (Education Code 48918(j))

As required by law, the Superintendent or principal shall recommend expulsion and the Board shall expel any student found to have committed any of the following “mandatory recommendation and mandatory expulsion” acts at school or at a school activity off school grounds: (Education Code 48915)

1. Possessing a firearm which is not an imitation firearm, as verified by a certificated

employee, unless the student had obtained prior written permission to possess the item from a certificated school employee, with the principal or designee’s concurrence.

2. Selling or otherwise furnishing a firearm. 3. Brandishing a knife at another person. 4. Unlawfully selling a controlled substance listed in Health and Safety Code 11053-

11058.


5. Committing or attempting to commit a sexual assault as defined in Penal Code

261, 266c, 286, 288, 288a, or 289, or committing a sexual battery as defined in Penal Code 243.4.

6. Possessing an explosive as defined in 18 USC 921.

For all other violations listed in the accompanying administrative regulation under “Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion: Grades K-12” and “Additional Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion: Grades 4-12,” the Superintendent or principal shall have the discretion to recommend expulsion of a student. If expulsion is recommended, the Board shall order the student expelled only if it makes a finding of either or both of the following: (Education Code 48915(b) and (e))

a) That other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to

bring about proper conduct.

b) That due to the nature of the violation, the presence of the student causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the student or others.

A vote to expel a student shall be taken in an open session of a Board meeting.

The Board may vote to suspend the enforcement of the expulsion order pursuant to the requirements of law and the accompanying administrative regulation. (Education Code 48917)

No student shall be expelled for disruption or willful defiance. (Education Code 48900) No child enrolled in a preschool program shall be expelled except under limited circumstances as specified in AR 5148.3 - Preschool/Early Childhood Education.

D. Due Process

The Board shall provide for the fair and equitable treatment of students facing suspension and/or expulsion by affording them their due process rights under the law. The Superintendent or designee shall comply with procedures for notices, hearings, and appeals as specified in law and administrative regulation. (Education Code 48911, 48915, 48915.5, 48918)

E. Maintenance and Monitoring of Outcome Data


The Superintendent or designee shall maintain outcome data related to student suspensions and expulsions in accordance with Education Code 48900.8 and 48916.1, including, but not limited to, the number of students recommended for expulsion, the grounds for each recommended expulsion, the actions taken by the Board, the types of referral made after each expulsion, and the disposition of the students after the expulsion period. For any expulsion that involves the possession of a firearm, such data shall include the name of the school and the type of firearm involved, as required pursuant to 20 USC 7961. Suspension and expulsion data shall be reported to the Board annually and to the California Department of Education when so required.

In presenting the report to the Board, the Superintendent or designee shall disaggregate data on suspension and expulsion by school and by numerically significant student subgroups, including, but not limited to, ethnic subgroups, socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English learners, students with disabilities, foster youth, and homeless students. Based on the data, the Board shall address any identified disparities in the imposition of student discipline and shall determine whether and how the District is meeting its goals for improving school climate as specified in its local control and accountability plan.

Glendale Unified School District BP 6172.1 Board Policy Page 1 of 2 Instruction Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes The Board of Education desires to provide opportunities for eligible District students to enroll concurrently in courses offered at postsecondary institutions in order to foster individual student achievement, increase opportunities for students to complete college preparatory course requirements and/or participate in career technical education (CTE), and prepare students for a smooth transition into college by providing exposure to the collegiate environment. When it is determined that the postsecondary course in which the student intends to enroll is substantially equivalent to a course provided by the District, the student may receive credit toward high school graduation requirements in addition to credit received from the college. Approval of Concurrent Enrollment The Board may approve a limited number of students of any age or grade level to apply for part-time or full-time concurrent enrollment in a community college or four-year college when it is determined to be in the student's best interest and the student is adequately prepared for such coursework. Upon recommendation of the principal and with parent/guardian consent, the Board may authorize a student to apply for attendance at a community college during any session or term as a special part-time or full-time student and to undertake one or more courses of instruction offered at the community college level. (Education Code 48800) Within the enrollment limits and exceptions allowed by law, the principal may recommend a student for community college summer session if that student demonstrates adequate preparation in the discipline to be studied and exhausts all opportunities to enroll in an equivalent course, if any, at his/her school of attendance. (Education Code 48800) Any student's parent/guardian, regardless of the student’s age or grade level, may petition the Board to authorize special full-time attendance at a community college on the ground that the student would benefit from advanced scholastic or career technical work that would be available. If the petition is denied, an appeal may be filed with the County Board of Education. (Education Code 48800.5) If the Board denies a request for special part-time or full-time enrollment at a community college for a student who is identified as highly gifted and talented, the Board shall issue its written recommendation and the reasons for the denial at its next regularly scheduled Board meeting that falls at least 30 days, but within 60 days, after the request has been submitted. (Education Code 48800, 48800.5)

Glendale Unified School District BP 6172.1 Board Policy Page 2 of 2 Instruction Concurrent Enrollment in College Classes College and Career Access Pathways Partnerships The Board may enter into a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership agreement with the board of a community college district for the purpose of offering or expanding dual enrollment opportunities for students. The agreement shall be approved at an open public Board meeting, with an opportunity for public input provided prior to the Board taking action. If the CCAP agreement provides for CTE pathways, the Board shall consult with and consider input from appropriate local workforce board(s) to determine the extent to which the pathways are aligned with regional and statewide employment needs. (Education Code 76004) Program Evaluation The Superintendent or designee shall regularly report to the Board regarding the number and demographics of District students participating in the concurrent enrollment option, their success in completing college preparatory courses (“a-g” courses) and postsecondary courses, and any impact on their achievement in district courses.
