INSTRUCTION

Instructional Materials

The Governing Board has reviewed the criteria and procedures utilized in establishing a rating system adopted by the Motion Picture Association of America. The Governing Board finds that the criteria used and judgment employed by the Motion Picture Association regarding the contents of a film or video's level of violence, offensive or raw language, nudity, sex, drug usage, and other elements for the purpose of establishing a rating to inform the public as to the contents of a film provide a solid foundation towards evaluating and determining the use of appropriate films in the educational setting.

Accordingly, the Governing Board finds as follows:

1. Films Rated "NC-17" Or ''X''

The criteria utilized by the Motion Picture Association of America resulting in a rating of "NC-17" or "X" provide a reasonable basis for concluding that a fIlm or video contains material which is obscene, vulgar, profane, does not reflect community standards, and/or is not related to legitimate curricular objectives and, therefore, is excluded for all grade levels.

2. Films Rated "R"

The criteria utilized by the Motion Picture Association of America resulting in a rating of "R" provide a reasonable basis for concluding that a film or video contains material involving violence, offensive or raw language, nudity, sex, drug usage, and other elements which are not appropriate for students in the elementary, middle or junior high school level.

Films rated "R" and unrated films of similar content (see above) may be shown at the high school level, provided the following occurs:

a. The film/video is on the approved Modesto City Schools Instructional Materials list/course outline. Parents/ guardians will be notified by the District in advance of approved films and videos. They may select to opt the student OUT of the assignment by notifying the school and requesting an alternate assignment.

b. If the fIlm/video is not on the approved Modesto City Schools Instructional Materials list/course outline, it may not be shown until it has been reviewed and approved through the Feature FilmsNideo Selection Process described in Item 6 below.

3. Films Rated "PG-13"

The criteria utilized by the Motion Picture Association of America resulting in a rating of "PG-13" provide a reasonable basis.for concluding that a film or video contains material involving violence, offensive or raw language, nudity, sex, drug usage, and other elements which are not appropriate for students in the elementary, middle or junior high school level.

Films rated "PG-13" and unrated films of similar content (see above) may be shown at the middle or junior high school level provided the following occurs:

SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No 12113-01 July 9,2012 Authorizing Temporary Borrowing Between Major Funds During 2012/13, Except Where Program Rules Do Not Allow Such Transfers

BACKGROUND

The State of California continues to experience severe cash flow and budget challenges. Some state sources have indicated a potential problem with timely disbursements of funds to school districts.

ISSUE

The current economic position of the State has resulted in the fifth consecutive year of deficit reductions to the Revenue Limit and over a decade of deferring principal apportionment payments to local education agencies. The combination of both factors has placed a burden on meeting the operational cash flow needs of Modesto City Schools.

PROPOSAL

Education Code Section 42603 permits a temporary borrowing between funds. Repayment is required in the current fiscal year.

Potential sources still allowed for a temporary loan are cafeteria (13), special reserve for capital facilities (25), county school facilities funds (35), capital outlay projects (40), or self insurance (67),

FISCAL IMPACT

Drawing down of cash reserves will significantly reduce the interest earnings projected in the 2012113 budget.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Modesto City Schools and the State of California face numerous budget and cash flow challenges; and

WHEREAS, the State of California may not be able to meet its cash apportionment obligations to school districts; and

WHEREAS, Modesto City Schools' general fund cash reserves may not be sufficient to meet the district's monthly payroll and other obligations;

SUBJECT: Approval of Authorization to Purchase Resilient July 09, 2012 Flooring and Installation Services from Mondo

BACKGROUND:

Resilient Flooring at various sites needs replacing when it has reached the end of its safe, useful and economically serviceable life.

ISSUE:

A source is needed for resilient flooring that meets District specifications, including installation services. Over time, resilient flooring begins to wear out and presents safety, maintenance, and cost of repair issues that can only be addressed by replacement. Areas will be scheduled for resilient flooring replacement during the course of the year as needed and as budget allows. Bids for the resilient flooring and installation must be obtained or a favorable existing cooperative purchase contract identified.

PROPOSAL:

The National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) serves members as a municipal contracting agency. NJPA establishes and provides nationally leveraged and competitively solicited purchasing contracts. Modesto City Schools, through the Purchasing Department, maintains a membership in this organization that allows for the utilization of their competitively solicited and awarded contracts that meet formal bid requirements.

NJPA has a cooperative contract available (contract #08191O-MUI) for the purchase of resilient flooring and installation that meets or exceeds District specifications. Staff has determined that the District would derive the most benefit by purchasing product and installation services from this cooperative contract at the established bid pricing. This contract provides deep discounts, product availability, delivery, installation, warranty and other favorable terms and conditions. The initial contract award date is October 21, 2010, and the contract has been renewed through October 21, 2014. The material would be ordered from the manufacturer, Mondo, or their designated reseller, and the installation from their supported local installing dealer.

The use of cooperative or "piggyback" contracting is allowed under Public Contract Code 20118 and Government Code 6500-6502.

C.2 Page 2 Approval of Authorization to Purchase Resilient Flooring and Installation Services from Mondo

FISCAL IMPACT:

It is estimated that the annual expenditure for resilient flooring and installation services will be approximately $150,000, and will be paid primarily from the deferred maintenance fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve authorization to purchase resilient flooring and installation services from Mondo.

SUBJECT: Approval of Professional Services Agreement July 9,2012 with MCR Engineering, Fairview Elementary School Parking Lot Re-Design and Construction

BACKGROUND

On May 29, 2012 the Board of Education approved the Fairview Elementary School parking lot re-design and construction project. Fairview Elementary School is located at 1937 W. Whitmore Avenue, Modesto. Built in 1951 for approximately 350 students on 9.6 acres, Fairview Elementary School is projected to have 896 students in the fall of 2012 (fall 2011 enrollment was 871 students).

The parking lot and re-design project is intended to solve on and off-site pedestrian and vehicle safety problems due to the severe on-site congestion of vehicles and students as a result of inadequate parking and circulation.

Local engineering firm, MeR Engineering, was authorized by the Board of Education on May 9,2011 to conduct preliminary civil engineering services on the Fairview Elementary School project in the amount of $9,140.

ISSUE

In order to begin the civil engineering required for the Fairview Elementary School parking lot re-design and construction project, a new agreement for civil engineering services with MCR Engineering must be approved.

PROPOSAL

The Fairview Elementary School parking lot re-design and construction project was approved by the Board of Education on May 29, 2012 in an estimated amount of $500,000. Included in this estimate is the cost of civil engineering consultant MCR Engineering to design and prepare all construction plans including materials specifications and utility re­ locations. MCR Engineering will also provide project management during construction.

This project is being expedited by staff and consultants to allow for some of the work to be performed during the site's summer break.

C.3 Page 2 Approval of Professional Services Agreement with MCR Engineering, Fairview Elementary School Parking Lot Re-Design and Construction

FISCAL IMPACT

An agreement with MCR Engineering in an amount not to exceed $52,000, including engineering and design fees, is required for the approved parking lot re-design and construction project. Funding for this project will come from Elementary Developer Fees.

A copy of the proposal and agreement are available in the Department of Planning and Facilities Support.

BACKGROUND

The District is self-funded for the first $350,000 paid on a workers' compensation claim. Self-funding requires the employer and/or third party claims administration firm to perform the activities and maintain the records and files that would otherwise be done by an insurance company.

Because the workers' compensation administration agreement is considered a professional services contract, a Request for Proposal must be undertaken every five years.

ISSUE

The Board needs to award the RFP and authorize staff to enter into an agreement for workers' compensation claims administration services.

PROPOSAL

On March 27,2012, RFP 12-4511 was issued by the Purchasing Department. The Request for Proposal was for a three-year term, with options to extend for two one-year periods. Six firms were solicited and responded. One firm was rejected solely on cost, the remaining five firms were evaluated through RFP quote, interview and reference scores.

Intercare $662,449 York $657,000 JT2 $605,959 Tristar $595,980 Pegasus $472,635

SUBJECT: Approval of Catastrophic Student Accident July 9,2012 Insurance Contract with Myers-Stevens & Toohey & Co., Inc. for 2012/13

BACKGROUND

Each school year, as is required by the Education Code, the District makes available to parents and guardians a Student Accident Insurance Policy through a leading insurer. If a major injury occurs to a student as a member of an athletic team, policy limits would be reached very quickly. This could have two possible effects:

(1) A parent or guardian without other medical insurance would incur a significant personal expense.

(2) The District may be sued and have to defend itself against a bodily injury claim that has no legal merit, but which may generate significant defense cost.

ISSUE

The District needs to purchase a catastrophic student accident insurance policy for 2012/13.

PROPOSAL

The District received a quote from Myers-Stevens & Toohey & Co., Inc. The cost is $5.11 per student (with 3,000 students participating) and is $0.25/student more than the District pays under its current policy. Major benefits of this policy include:

(1) Accident Medical Expense (excess) with a 10-year benefit period of up to a $5,000,000 paid maximum, subject to a $25,000 deductible if the first expense is incurred within 180 days of the covered accident.

(2) Catastrophic Cash Benefit of up to $1,000,000, where "as a result of a covered Injury, an Insured Person suffers Paralysis, Coma, or Brain death," which "must occur within 180 days from the date of the Accident and continue for 6 consecutive months and have a prognosis that such loss will be permanent," and

(3) Accidental Death & Dismemberment of $50,000 payable in the event of death resulting from a covered accident to an insured.

SUBJECT: Approval of School Crossing Guard July 9,2012 Insurance Contract with Myers-Stevens & Toohey & Co., Inc. for 2012/13

BACKGROUND

The District's Student School Crossing Guard Program is a well-established one in which traffic safety and personal responsibility are emphasized to elementary school students. Approximately 900 students participate in this program.

The District first purchased an excess medical insurance policy for students in the program in June 2003.

ISSUE

The District needs to purchase a new excess medical insurance policy for 2012/13.

PROPOSAL

Myers-Stevens & Toohey & Co., Inc. quoted this coverage. It returned with a quote of $2.34 per student for an excess policy that would provide these benefits: $25,000 maximum medical expense per accident; $10,000 in the event of accidental death; and $-0- deductible subject to 80% of usual, customary and reasonable charges. Since this is an excess policy, it will not duplicate primary benefits if an injured student is already covered by medical insurance. If an injured student has no medical insurance, then this policy will pay subject to its policy limits and terms.

A copy of the proposal is available for review in the Risk Management Department.

FISCAL IMPACT

The District will pay $2,106.00 for the 2012/13 policy year. This amount is an increase of $0.09 per participating student, or $153.00 more than the District's present policy. The District's insurance budget contains funds to pay this premium.

SUBJECT: Ratification of Agreement with California July 9,2012 Occupational Physicians to Provide Tuberculosis (PPD) Skin Testing for Modesto City Schools' Employees for the 2012-13 School Year

BACKGROUND

California Education Code Section 49406 requires all certificated and classified employees of a school district to have an examination and be determined free of active tuberculosis when initially employed and every four years thereafter.

ISSUE

Prior to July 1, 2010, the Modesto City Schools District was under contract with the County of Stanislaus Health Services Agency to provide tuberculosis clearances for the District's employees. Due to the cost increase in their quoted contract (from $16,500 to $33,000), the District decided not to renew the contract with the County after the 2009-10 school year. For the past two school years, the District has been absorbing the duties and associated costs internally and has not been under contract with any agency to provide these services.

The Modesto City Schools District would like to enter into a new contract with California Occupational Physicians to provide tuberculosis clearance services for the District's employees, at a cost of approximately half the cost of the amount quoted by Stanislaus County Health Services.

PROPOSAL

California Occupational Physicians has agreed to provide this contracted service for the 2012-13 school year. The agreement is effective July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost for providing this service will be $18.00 per person per skin test, not to exceed $18,000.00 in the 2012-13 school year.

TO: Pamela Able, Superintendent Regular Meeting

SUBJECT: Approval of the "Declaration of Need for July 9, 2012 Fully Qualified Educators" for the 2012-13 School Year

BACKGROUND

For the 2012-13 school year, the District has employed teachers to teach with emergency credentials certain subjects/classes in our schools. Of the 1,427 teachers in the District, approximately 55 must teach classes for which they are not credentialed. The District has advertised for teacher vacancies needed; credentialed and qualified teachers for those assignments did not apply.

ISSUE

In order to be compliant with California Commission on Teacher Credentialing guidelines, the District must submit a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators" to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for those teachers teaching outside their credentialed area. The "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators" must be approved by the Board of Education.

PROPOSAL

It is proposed that the Board of Education review and approve the "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators."

FISCAL IMPACT

There will be no cost to the District.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Board of Education approve the "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators" for the 2012-13 school year.
