The Proposition K: L.A. for Kids Program was established in November 5, 1996, by passage of a Ballot Measure apprpved by City voters. The measure established an assessment district coterminous with City boundaries, in which the City collects up to $25 million annually in local assessments over aperiod of 30 years. To levy the 2009-10 assessment, Council must take the following actions prior to June 30, 2009: 1. Adopt a Resolution to Initiate Proceedings; 2. Approve an expenditure plan for fiscal year 2009-1 0; 3. Adopt a City Engineer's report describing the proposed improvements for the fiscal year; 4. Adopt a Resolution and Ordinance of Intention to levy the assessment; 5. Hold a public hearing; 6. Approve the environmental documents for the projects being considered for inclusion in the assessment; and 7. Adopt an ordinance confirming the assessment for the fiscal year. In September 2008, Council took the first action for levying the 2009-10 assessment by adopting the Resolution to Initiate Proceedings (C.F. 08-2139). To complete the annual assessment process, this report recommends that Council proceed with actions two through four and initiate actions five through seven, as listed above. The proposed 2009-10 expenditure plan, presented in Section 3 of the report Findings, totals $25 million, with a breakdown, as follows: Capital projects ($14.9 million); Administration ($749,000), Maintenance ($2.6 million); Inflation ($3.6 million); and, Debt Service on bonded projects ($3 million). The 2009-10 funding recommendations are further detailed in the Five Year Plan (Attachment 1) and the A List of projects recommended for funding in 2009-10 (Attachment 2). Projects earmarked for funding in fiscal years 2010-11 through 20013-14, form the B List of Projects (Attachment 3) and serve as alternates that may be substituted for A List projects that will not be implemented during the course of the program year. Actions recommended for 2008-09 assessment funds are presented in Section 4 of the report Findings. These recommendations include the reprogramming of current year project allocations (Attachment 12) that are prompted by considerations presented in the report Findings. The recommended 2008-09 maintenance award of $3.39 million (Attachment 8), includes $2.37 million in current year funds and $1.02 million in unspent maintenance awards remaining from prior years. The availability of current year interest and inflation funds are also presented. The proposed use of inflation and interest funds will be provided through an amending Motion prior to the public hearing for the 2009-10 Assessment report that is recommended to occur on June 3, 2009.

With respect to the projects in List 2 of Attachment 7: FIND THAT these projects are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under State CEQA Guidelines section 15262 and Article II, section 2.d of the City CEQA Guidelines because the City Council's action is not subject to CEQA. The City Council's action is not an approval of a project which may cause a physical change in the environment, but instead is in the nature of a feasibility and planning study for a project which is not being approved at this time. c. With respect to the projects in List 3 of Attachment 7: ACKNOWLEDGE that the City Council's action is exempt from CEQA under Article II, section 2.i, because the underlying project has already been evaluated and processed in accordance with the City CEQA Guidelines. d.

Approve the 2009-10 Five Year Plan for the L.A. for Kids Program and related schedules, as set forth in Attachments 1, 2, 3 and 6. j. Instruct the Information Technology Agency to prepare and transmit the necessary computer tape or compact disk, as appropriate, to the County containing the assessment levy information confirmed by the City Council for fiscal year 2009-10 for each parcel in the Assessment District. k. Authorize the City Engineer to negotiate and execute Proposition K grant contracts with competitive grant applicants in the Five Year Plan for 2009-10, excluding projects from the Department of Recreation and Parks and Bureau of Street Lighting, subject to approval of the City Attorney. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT Adoption of an Ordinance and Resolution of Intention to levy the Proposition K: L.A. for Kids Assessment for fiscal year 2009-1 0 indicates the Council's intention to levy assessments totaling $25 million to acquire and construct park and recreational facilities. The assessment can only be used for capital improvements, acquisition of land, administration, and maintenance. The cost of operating Proposition K projects as they are completed in future years will be funded by the annual operating budget adopted for City departments and with independent funding for projects operated by external entities. As reported by the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP), the annual impact on the General Fund, once all projects recommended for funding in 2009-10 become operational, totals $4.69 million and includes $2.92 million for maintenance and $1.77 million for operations.

The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.

The charter high school requested that FCMAT conduct an on-site review of the calculations utilized in the conversion process according to SB 319. Specifically, the study agreement specifies that the scope and objectives of this study are as follows: Birmingham Community Charter High School (BCCHS) is requesting the FCMAT team to review the calculations utilized by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to convert the high school to a charter school as of July 1, 2009 pursuant to Education Code section 47600(c). The FCMAT team will evaluate the calculations performed by LAUSD to determine if they are in compliance with the intent of Section 47600(c) and incorrectly reduced BCCHS’s entitle- ment per pupil by over $4 million per year. The FCMAT team will conduct a review of the District’s documented actual expenditures for Birmingham High School for the 2008-09 fiscal year and the District’s calculations of BCCHS’s general fund entitlement for the 2009-10 fiscal year and make recommendations. FCMAT visited the charter school on January 11, 2012, February 14, 2012 and March 2, 2012 to meet with the CEO/principal and financial support provider.

    A Formula for Failure in L.A. Schools Because They Can't Pass Algebra, Thousands of Students Are Denied Diplomas

    HE VANISHING CLASS – Part 2 Page 1 of 11 A Formula for Failure in L.A. Schools Because they can't pass algebra, thousands of students are denied diplomas. Many try again and again -- but still get Fs. By Duke Helfand Times Staff Writer January 30, 2006 Each morning, when Gabriela Ocampo looked up at the chalkboard in her ninth-grade algebra class, her spirits sank. There she saw a mysterious language of polynomials and slope intercepts that looked about as familiar as hieroglyphics. She knew she would face another day of confusion, another day of pretending to follow along. She could hardly do long division, let alone solve for x. "I felt like, 'Oh, my God, what am I going to do?' " she recalled. Gabriela failed that first semester of freshman algebra. She failed again and again — six times in six semesters. And because students in Los Angeles Unified schools must pass algebra to graduate, her hopes for a diploma grew dimmer with each F. Midway through 12th grade, Gabriela gathered her textbooks, dropped them at the campus book room and, without telling a soul, vanished from Birmingham High School. Her story might be just a footnote to the Class of 2005 except that hundreds of her classmates, along with thousands of others across the district, also failed algebra. Of all the obstacles to graduation, algebra was the most daunting. The course that traditionally distinguished the college-bound from others has denied vast numbers of students a high school diploma. "It triggers dropouts more than any single subject," said Los Angeles schools Supt.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM FOR 1 9 5 5 _____ FOR RELEASE: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 28th and Thurs. am '¿DO NOT release prior to Dec. 28th pm___________ _____ e nineteenth annual All-Southern California Board of Football elections were made at Helms Hall last week and 36 of the Southland’s finest gridiron performers were named for honors. The Helms Hall Board, composed of newspaper journalists from all over the Southern California area, meet each year in December to name these football teams. There was little opposition to this year's Player of the Year selection, mickey Flynn of Anaheim High School. Only a junior, Flynn received near-unanimous backing, with only Deron Johnson, great all- around athlete and star end for San Diego’s CIF champions, receiving serious backing. For the 1955 season, including playoff games, kickey scored 22 touchdowns for 132 points, averaging a touchdown every 3 | times he carried the ball. He scored eight touchdowns in Anaheim's CIF playoff games with Mt. Carmel, Glendale and San Diego. He carried the ball 76 times for 1 ,1 8 4 yards, averaging 15 yards per carry for the season. Ten of Flynn's touchdowns were scored on runs of over 50 yards. In the Semi-final playoff game against San Diego Flynn scored all three of Anaheim's touchdowns on runs of 6 6 , 67 and 3 yards. Although Anaheim tied San Diego, the Border City team made more first downs, 17-14s and went on to win the C.I.F.

    Los Angeles Times: 1 in 4 California high school students drop out, state says Page 1 of 3 http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-dropout17-2008jul17,0,1269326.story From the Los Angeles Times 1 in 4 California high school students drop out, state says Using a new system for tracking dropouts, California discloses a rate considerably higher than previously reported. About 1 in 3 students in Los Angeles Unified left school. By Mitchell Landsberg and Howard Blume Los Angeles Times Staff Writers July 17, 2008 Deploying a long-promised tool to track high school dropouts, the state released numbers Wednesday estimating that 1 in 4 California students -- and 1 in 3 in Los Angeles -- quit school. The rates are considerably higher than previously acknowledged but lower than some independent estimates. The figures are based on a new statewide tracking system that relies on identification numbers that were issued to California public school students beginning in fall 2006. The ID numbers allow the state Department of Education to track students who leave one school and enroll in another in California, even if it is in a different district or city. In the past, the inability to accurately track such students gave schools a loophole, allowing them to say that departing students had transferred to another school when, in some cases, they had dropped out. The new system -- which will cost $33 million over the next three years, in addition to the millions spent for the initial development -- promises to eventually provide a far better way to understand where students go, and why.
