SUBJECT:(Use this Termination section to briefly of charterexplain the with item—2-3 Trillium sentences) Charter School, effective June 30, 2019

I. BACKGROUND

Trillium Charter School opened in school year 2002-03 as a k-12 public charter school sponsored by PPS. Trillium’s charter with PPS has been renewed three times, in 2007, 2012, and 2017, in accordance with the criteria and process established in ORS 338.065.

At its last renewal, Trillium was instructed by the PPS Board of Education to provide a written plan to improve the performance of its students in math at all grade bands, and that agreement was formalized in the renewal contract. Such a plan was in place in years 2015-16 and 2016-17, and due to two consecutive years of failure to meet academic expectations in math in grades 3-8, by contract Trillium was required to submit an Action Plan of Improvement in the 2017-18 school year. Per contract, failure to make progress toward improvement within one year of implementing the Plan of Improvement may result in termination. The SBAC results and Oregon Report Card assessment of Trillium’s performance in 2017-18 reflect a third consecutive year of poor performance in grades 3-8 math. In addition, the 2017-18 SBAC results indicate an additional consecutive year of poor performance in English Language Arts for grades 3-8, necessitating the addition of grades 3-8 ELA to the Action Plan of Improvement for 2018-19.

With an enrollment capacity of 365, Trillium historically enrolls between 340-350 students per year. Trillium currently has 201 students, of which 46% are Economically Disadvantaged and 24% are Students with Disabilities. Trillium’s current enrollment reflects a decline of over 40% since school year 2016-17, with an associated decline in revenue which was not adequately accounted for in Trillium’s 2018-19 Budget. Trillium has experienced staffing changes in its Finance Office, and at this time the District does not have accurate financial reports to assess cash balance or monthly cash flow through the end of the fiscal year.

Because of concerns regarding student academic achievement and the organization’s financial stability, staff made a recommendation to the PPS Board Charter Committee that the charter with Trillium be terminated effective June 30, 2019.

II. RELATED POLICIES/BEST PRACTICES

While charter schools must follow federal law and those state laws listed in ORS 338.115, many statutes and rules that apply to other public schools and districts do not apply to charter schools. While charter schools have significant autonomy from district policies, this autonomy comes with greater accountability for meeting the standards and outcomes set in law and by contract. If a charter school fails to meet stated standards and outcomes, it can ultimately lose its charter with the sponsor through the termination process described in ORS 338.105 and OAR 581-026-0500.

Per the PPS contract with Trillium Charter School (CHTR 65665), section E.1.e., “…If the charter school fails to meet any performance benchmark set forth in its Annual Performance Framework and Report or its Accountability Plan, for two consecutive school years, a plan of action will be initiated…If after these steps are completed and reasonable goals are not met within an additional calendar year from when the steps are developed, this may be grounds for termination.”

Additionally, Oregon’s Charter School Law, ORS 338.105(1), states, “During the term of a charter, the sponsor may terminate the charter on any of the following grounds: (a) Failure to meet the terms of an approved charter or this chapter. (b) Failure to meet the requirements for student performance stated in the charter. (c) Failure to correct a violation of a federal or state law that is described in ORS 338.115. (d) Failure to maintain insurance as described in the charter. (e) Failure to maintain financial stability. (f) Failure to maintain, for one or more consecutive years, a sound financial management system described in the proposal submitted under ORS 338.045 and incorporated into the written charter under ORS 338.065.”

Per ORS 338.105(2)(a), a Notice of Intent to Terminate Charter was delivered to Trillium Charter School on February 13, 2019, stating the grounds for termination as ORS 338.105(1)(b), failure to meet student performance requirements, and (e), failure to maintain financial stability. The effective date of termination is June 30, 2019, meeting statutory requirement that notice be given at least 60 days prior to the proposed effective date of the termination.

III. ANALYSIS OF SITUATION

Implications of terminating charter: Trillium would not be available to the approximately 170 PPS district students who would otherwise be returning in Fall of 2019 (current enrollment minus grads and out of district students). Those students would need to move to other schools, either within the PPS system, including PPS charter schools and PPS contracted alternative schools, or in the private, or homeschool sectors. PPS stands ready to assist with this process. In addition, approximately 20 Trillium staff, including teachers and administrators, will no longer have employment at the school after the termination date. In the general public school community, the students and families of PPS will lose the option of attending a k-12 charter school with the specific model of Democratic, Constructivist Education, using Restorative Practice. Trillium is the only charter school that serves high school grades. Trillium Charter School has a 17-year history in the community, and its loss would have an impact on its local community, alumni, and partners.

Implications of not terminating charter: Trillium would remain open to serve students after three-years of failing academic achievement data in grades 3-8. It is the duty of charter school authorizers to hold charter schools accountable to standards and outcomes defined in law and contract, and a decision not to terminate the charter for failing academic achievement standards would imply that Trillium is not being held accountable to those standards, or that the standards should be different for one school. Additionally, if Trillium remains open, there is concern that continued declining enrollment will lead to financial collapse, which may require mid-year intervention or closure in the coming school year. Trillium’s students, and other PPS families, would continue to have Trillium as a choice for their public education, however the school may not be financially viable to make it through a school year.

IV. FISCAL IMPACT

If the Board votes in favor of terminating the charter with Trillium Charter School, the fiscal impact for the remainder of 2018-19 is largely unchanged as payments of State School Funds would continue based on enrollment until school closure in June. Current estimate to be passed through to Trillium for the full fiscal year is $1,362,756 (assumed 201 students), paid monthly based on previous month’s weighted average daily membership.

Fiscal impact for 2019-20 would be an estimated $1,530,360 less funds being passed through to charter schools. PPS would receive full funding for any Trillium students who enroll in a PPS school for the 2019-20 year.

If the Board votes in opposition to terminating the charter with Trillium Charter School, the fiscal impact for 2019-20 would be an estimated $1,530,360 in funds to be passed through to Trillium per the current charter schools funding formula, assuming the school remains financially viable through the full 2019-20 school year at the estimated current enrollment. Financial stability is one of the grounds for the recommendation to terminate the charter with Trillium, and there is concern that the school will not be sustainable at current enrollment levels.

V. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (IF APPLICABLE)

A public hearing was held before the PPS Board Charter Committee on February 20, 2019, in accordance with ORS 338.105(2)(d), to hear from Trillium Charter School leaders as well as public testimony from all stakeholders, both in favor and in opposition to the school remaining open.

Members of the Board Charter Committee visited Trillium Charter School prior to the public hearing.

VI. TIMELINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION/EVALUATION

If the recommendation to terminate the charter with Trillium Charter School is approved, the process of ensuring that all students currently enrolled at Trillium have a public school to attend in the next school year will begin immediately, with the assistance of PPS Enrollment and Transfer Office and Multiple Pathways Reconnection Services and the Charter Schools Office. Timelines will assume school closure effective date of June 30, 2019.

Further action items related to school closure will be managed by the PPS Charter Schools Office using school closure rubrics developed by this office in conjunction with the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) recommendations and the Oregon Department of Education.

VII. BOARD OPTIONS WITH ANALYSIS

Results of Board vote approving terminating the charter with Trillium Charter School: The District’s charter with Trillium Charter School will be terminated effective June 30, 2019. Notification to Trillium Charter School staff and families will begin immediately along with process for ensuring students who currently attend Trillium will have access to enrollment and transfer information for PPS schools for the 2019-20 school year.

The school may appeal the decision to the State Board of Education, which shall review only the grounds for termination under ORS 338 as stated by the school district board.

Results of Board vote opposing terminating the charter with Trillium Charter School: Trillium Charter School will remain open, and will have a review of the current 2018-19 Action Plan of Improvement for Grades 3-8 Math (all students) and Grades 3-8 English Language Arts (all students) in November 2019, at which time a decision will need to be made regarding progress toward improvement. If there is not satisfactory progress toward improvement, there may be another recommendation to terminate the charter. Additionally, as failure to maintain financial stability is listed among the grounds for termination, if the charter is not terminated, Trillium Charter School will need to show its plan for financial stability at current and declining levels of enrollment for the 2019-20 school year.

VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Due to Trillium’s failure to meet requirements for student performance stated in the charter, and failure to maintain financial stability, staff recommends that the charter with Trillium Charter School be terminated, effective June 30, 2019.

IX. I have reviewed this staff report and concur with the recommendation to the Board.

Last Date for Comment: March 19, 2019

Proposed package of modifications – for Board consideration, including February 11, 2019 amendments to 6.50.010-P, Field Trips, Foreign Travel, and Other Off- Campus Activities

1. Remove references to the rescission of the Administrative Directives (AD) in the staff report. The Board does not create or rescind ADs. When a policy is changed, the Superintendent and staff update the Administrative Directives to align with the policy changes and may consolidate or reorganize ADs to improve clarity and access to related information.

2. In the Board resolution adopting the final policy modifications, add the following: Create an 8th Grade Capstone Advisory Group to catalogue current capstone programs and share information and explore ways to expand experiential learning opportunities across PPS for all students in middle grades, and to assist with the identification of barriers and logistical considerations that will inform PPS staff as they develop a long-term plan a consider this component as part of ongoing work related to Middle School Redesign.

3. Strike current language in (2) and replace with the following: District staff responsible for overseeing extended travel must notify building administrators in advance of the trip so that plans for continuity of curriculum and instruction can be assured for students remaining on campus. Those plans must be communicated to the school community and observed so that no disruption in curriculum or programming will occur for students remaining on campus.

4. Makes additional modifications to the policy, including an exemption for Board approval for travel more than 150 miles from PPS headquarters. See redline for additional changes.

6.50.010- P Field Trips, Foreign Travel, and Other Off-Campus Activities

The District believes in the value of experiences outside the classroom and strives endeavors to make these opportunities available to all. As in all other aspects of school life, PPS is committed to both the access to and the inclusivity of off-campus activities. In planning and authorizing off-campus activities, primary consideration shall be given to the educational outcomes derived, the safety and welfare of students involved, District expectations of conduct and behavior on the part of all participants, and the selection of appropriate adult supervision in accordance with Board Policy X.XX.XXX- P Professional Conduct between Staff and Students LINK.

I. District- Sponsored Activities

Special activities outside the classroom are an important part of an educational experience. Students shall need to be allowed to participate in carefully planned learning experiences or co-curricular activities, which fall outside the normal school program, school day, and/or are off-campus when they serve a legitimate educational purpose. Off-campus activities should serve to promote and shall not compromise the integrity and purpose of the District’s educational programs. Plans for continuity of curriculum must be made for the off-campus activity and likewise for students remaining on campus. This policy applies to all off-campus activities, unless otherwise noted.

1) As authorized through this policy and Administrative Directives, the Superintendent’s designees may authorize field trips and other extra-curricular activities involving travel off-campus when such activities contribute to educational goals.

2) Off-campus activities of more than five consecutive days when students are otherwise scheduled to be in class, will not be authorized, Despite planning for continuity of curriculum, off campus activities that create excessive student and or teacher absences do not fully meet board-approved educational objectives and planned instructional days.

23) District staff responsible for overseeing extended travel must notify building administrators in advance of the trip so that plans for continuity of curriculum and instruction can be assured for students remaining on campus. Those plans will be communicated to the school community and observed so that no disruption in curriculum or programming will occur for students remaining on campus.

3) The Superintendent will require schools and staff to submit field trip requests for review, and approval or denial, prior to any planned activities; Principals may endorse regular off-campus field trips, subject to Risk Management approval, occurring during the course of one school day; all off-campus trips comprising more than one school day will be reviewed by both Risk Management and the supervising Area Assistant Superintendent. Specific timelines, procedures, and requirements of this field trip approval process will be outlined in a related Administrative Directive.

45) All out-of-state and foreign travel shall require prior Board approval with the exception of travel up to 150 miles from the PPS headquarters.

56) In planning for off-campus activities, staff members must avoid factors that might prohibit student participation, including financial burden, as well as any potential hazards or barriers for students arising from discriminatory policies or practices in the destination or during transit based on disability religion, culture, gender orientation, sexual identity, or immigration status. Trips should be designed to promote healthy, safe, and inclusive experiences for all students, and consider the identified special needs and required accommodations of students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 plans.

76) Both students and adult supervisors should be acquainted with and comply with relevant District policies, administrative directives, and other guidance, including the PPS Student Responsibilities, Rights, and Discipline Handbook, while representing the District. These expectations should be reviewed again by all students and staff prior to any extended off-campus activity.

II. Non-School Sponsored Off-Campus Activities Must Clearly Indicate They Are Not Affiliated with the District

The unique professional status of District staff members may at times makes it difficult for students and families to distinguish between school-sponsored off-campus activities from non-school privately sponsored off-campus activities. While working as PPS staff and/or representing PPS, District staff may not develop, plan, and/or supervise off- campus activities represented as "school, class, club, etc." other than what has been approved under this policy and the implementing administrative directives. In addition, District staff or other persons may not use District email, social media, hardcopy distribution to students, or other methods of District- controlled distribution that are not open to the general public to communicate to District students or families about private, non-school sponsored off-campus activities, without the pre-approval of the school building administrator and in adherence with PPS Disclaimer Requirement (11.1.a).

1) Travel Study Programs

Travel Study Programs are activities involving student travel that are planned, marketed, and conducted by organizations other than Portland Public Schools. Portland Public Schools does not fund, sponsor, or endorse any such programs.

a) Disclaimer Requirements: Any information about travel study programs must include the following disclaimer: “Portland Public Schools does not fund, sponsor, or endorse this travel study program. The District is not responsible for conducting or supervising this trip. Portland Public School employees who participate in travel study programs are not acting in their capacity as District employees and do so at their own risk. Students participating in travel study programs do so at their own risk.”

b) Any information distributed about travel study programs cannot contain the name of the District or any Portland Public school.

c) Distribution of information by travel study organizations must follow distribution guidelines in Board Policy 3.30.035- P Distribution of Materials and Information to Students [LINK] and Administrative Directive 3.30.038- AD [LINK]. Information distributed about travel study programs shall not be made through PPS email, without the pre-approval of the school-building administrator and in adherence with PPS Disclaimer Requirement (see 11.1.a).

d) Travel study organizations must use the Civic Use of Buildings (CUB) procedures for informational/planning meetings after the school day. See Policy 3.30.010- P Community Use of School Buildings and Facilities [LINK] and 3.30.011- AD Community Use of School Buildings and Facilities: Short- Term Use [LINK].

Staff Analysis and Report to the Board

Board Meeting/Work Session Date: February 20, 2019 Senior Lead: Clair Hertz, Deputy Superintendent of Business and Operation Department Lead: Dan Jung, COO Staff Lead: Sara King, Director of Planning and Property Management

SUBJECT(Use this: section UPDATED: to briefly GRANT explain HIGH the item SCHOOL—2-3 sentences - RECIPROCAL) PARKING AND ACCESS EASEMENT AGREEMENT TO PORTLAND PARKS AND RECREATION

I. BACKGROUND

In 1956, a new gymnasium was built on the Grant HS campus and that project required off street parking. The parking lot that was constructed encroached on a 12 foot by 565 foot portion of City land in the adjacent Grant Park. Portland City Council passed Ordinance No. 104405 to grant PPS a revocable permit to use the City Property for Grant High School parking lot with the condition that the general public could also use the area for parking.

Since that time, the Grant parking lot has been maintained and operated by PPS and remained open to the public. The parking lot is most actively used by the Grant HS staff during the school year and by the public in the summer when Portland Parks and Recreation’s Grant Pool is open.

In 2010, the City Ordinance was superseded and replaced by a Collaboration Agreement for the Joint Use of Portland Public Schools and Portland Parks & Recreation Facilities between PPS and the City. The agreement established use “by PPS staff and visitors as well as Grant Park visitors and the general public”. Ownership, operation and management, maintenance and repair, improvements, and all utilities associated with the parking lot was stated to be the responsibility of PPS.

As part of the PPS Bond construction to modernize Grant High School, PPS is required to reconstruct and expand the Grant parking lot. The expansion required further encroachment into Grant Park, in large part because of the addition of City mandated storm water treatment facility and a vehicular turnaround to meet fire code. Portland Parks and Recreation (PP&R) agreed to the expansion.

PP&R is requiring a Reciprocal Parking and Access Easement Agreement (the Easement) for the expanded use of Grant Park land. The easement will grant PPS non-exclusive access and parking rights on the portions of the parking lot built on Grant Park land. In exchange for the expanded use of its land, PP&R requires PPS to grant the City the same non-exclusive access on the portions of the parking lot built on PPS property, creating shared use of the Grant parking lot. PP&R also requires that PPS repair and maintain the parking lot for the next fifteen years, at which time the intensity of use and cost coverage by parties will be reevaluated. Staff has asked PPR several times to share in the cost of these improvements as well as repair and maintenance, but PPR has declined. As PPS needs PPR property for the design for the parking lot and fire access, PPS has no leverage with which to counter PPR’s refusal to share in costs.

II. RELATED POLICIES/BEST PRACTICES

The Collaboration Agreement for the Joint Use of Portland Public Schools and Portland Parks & Recreation Facilities states that PPS and PP&R will “explore opportunities to reduce their collective costs for facility management through cooperative agreements.” The party making improvements or changing an existing use is responsible to take the lead in obtaining land use approvals and facilitating community involvement.

III. ANALYSIS OF SITUATION

The parties agreed to expand the use of Grant Park land for the new Grant HS parking lot. In exchange for the expanded use, PP&R requires a reciprocal easement of PPS land. The City also required that PPS take responsibility for the utilities, maintenance and repairs for the parking lot for fifteen years. The drafted Easement is subject to approval by the school board because of the value of the easement and by the City of Portland.

IV. FISCAL IMPACT

PPS has responsibility for the maintenance, repairs, and utilities associated with the new parking lot for a period of fifteen years.

Staff estimates that the size of each parties’ easement is roughly equal and that the value of the land (zoned R2) associated with the easement that PPS is granting to the City is approximately $230,000.

V. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (IF APPLICABLE)

The Grant HS Bond Project engaged the Grant community during the design development. No objections were made to the changes in the parking lot.

VI. TIMELINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION/EVALUATION

The Easement will be in effect when both parties approve and sign the Easement document. Because the Easement is required by the City of Portland to ensure the fire access is intact, it must be recorded by both PPS and the City of Portland in order for a certificate of occupancy to be issued. The Office of School Modernization has targeted July 31, 2019 as the target date for issuance of a certificate of occupancy so that staff may begin to move into the building.

VII. BOARD OPTIONS WITH ANALYSIS

The Reciprocal Easement includes the following changes:

 Joint Use: The Grant Easement will provide PPS and PP&R joint use of the Grant parking lot.  Termination flexibility: None.  Responsibility for Maintenance and Repair: PPS will be required to solely maintain and repair, improve, and pay utilities associated with the parking lot for fifteen years.

VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the Board adopt the Reciprocal Parking and Access Easement Agreement associated with the new parking lot at Grant High School.

IX. I have reviewed this staff report and concur with the recommendation to the Board.

Attachment A: RESOLUTION No.

Grant a Reciprocal Parking and Access Easement to Portland Parks and Recreation at Grant High School for the Construction of the a New Parking Lot for the Grant Modernization Project

RECITALS

A. In 1956, a new gymnasium was added to the Grant High School campus which required off street parking. The resulting parking lot encroached on a 12 foot by 565 foot portion of the City of Portland land in Grant Park directly to the north of the high school. Portland City Council passed Ordinance No. 104405 to grant the District a revocable permit to use the property for the parking lot with the condition that the general public could also use the area for parking. Since then, the parking lot has been owned, maintained and operated by the District and remained open to the public. It is most actively used by the Grant High School staff during the school year and by the public in the summer when Portland Parks and Recreation’s Grant Pool is open.

B. As part of the District’s Bond construction to modernize Grant High School, the District is required to expand the Grant parking lot. The expansion requires further encroachment into Grant Park to accommodate a storm water treatment facility and a vehicular turnaround. Portland Parks and Recreation agreed to the expansion and was a joint applicant on the Land Use Application for the Grant High School modernization.

C. In order to accommodate the parking lot and expansion into Grant Park, Portland Parks and Recreation will grant the District a non-exclusive access and parking rights easement on the portion of the parking lot on Grant Park land. In exchange, Portland Parks and Recreation requires the District to grant it the same non-exclusive access on the portion of the parking lot built on Grant High School property.

E. Board Resolution 5160 directed the development of educational specifications and a master plan for the Benson Campus with a student capacity of 1,700.

F. Board Resolution 5160 directed the preparation of an analysis of location options for Alliance Professional Technical High School, including Benson Campus and other locations across the District. This analysis should further include other Multiple Pathways to Graduation programs and be presented to the Capital Bond Committee and then brought to the full board in January 2016 as part of the overall facility usage embedded in the enrollment balancing process.

G. Board Resolution 5780 expanded the scope of the analysis to further include other Multiple Pathways to Graduation programs (MPG) and provided that analysis to the Board of Education would occur no later than February 28, 2019.

H. Board Resolution 5780 notes that the Superintendent will engage with staff, students, and parents of all additional programs currently at Benson to learn about instructional program, wrap- around service needs, and to discuss preference/potential options for school program placement to include:

a) Building a dedicated multiple pathways building, funded through a future Bond proposal. b) Remain co-located at Benson campus, with appropriate facility modifications. c) Relocation of MPG to another PPS facility.

RESOLUTION

1. The Board of Education approves the Superintendent’s proposal to:

a) Co-locate Portland International Scholars (PISA), Pioneer High School, Portland Evening and Portland Summer Scholars and Portland Virtual Scholars within the Benson Polytechnic High School campus.

7

b) Build a dedicated building on Benson campus property for MPG programs: Alliance High School at Benson, Reconnection Center & Services, Teen Parent Childcare and DART/Clinton School, to be funded through a future Bond proposal.

i. Evaluate Alliance at Meek campus programming needs to determine feasibility of co-locating in new building at Benson.

ii. Incorporate space for future visual and performing arts programs.

iii. Include ADA and code-compliant access from Benson to Buckman field to ensure a safe route for school use.

The Board of Education expects to undertake a future capital bond campaign in 2020 to support all phases of the ongoing Benson campus construction, among other projects. If a bond is not referred to the voters or passed by voters in 2020, the Benson project, inclusive of the MPG dedicated building, is expected to be completed by a Full Faith and Credit Bond.

RESOLUTION No. 5829

Grant a Reciprocal Parking and Access Easement to Portland Parks and Recreation at Grant High School for the Construction of a New Parking Lot for the Grant Modernization Project

RECITALS

A. In 1956, a new gymnasium was added to the Grant High School campus which required off street parking. The resulting parking lot encroached on a 12 foot by 565 foot portion of the City of Portland land in Grant Park directly to the north of the high school. Portland City Council passed Ordinance No. 104405 to grant the District a revocable permit to use the property for the parking lot with the condition that the general public could also use the area for parking. Since then, the parking lot has been owned, maintained and operated by the District and remained open to the public. It is most actively used by the Grant High School staff during the school year and by the public in the summer when Portland Parks and Recreation’s Grant Pool is open.

B. As part of the District’s Bond construction to modernize Grant High School, the District is required to expand the Grant parking lot. The expansion requires further encroachment into Grant Park to accommodate a storm water treatment facility and a vehicular turnaround. Portland Parks and Recreation agreed to the expansion and was a joint applicant on the Land Use Application for the Grant High School modernization.

C. In order to accommodate the parking lot and expansion into Grant Park, Portland Parks and Recreation will grant the District a non-exclusive access and parking rights easement on the portion of the parking lot on Grant Park land. In exchange, Portland Parks and Recreation requires the District to grant it the same non-exclusive access on the portion of the parking lot built on Grant High School property. This Reciprocal Easement creates the shared use of the new Grant parking lot. Portland Parks and Recreation also requires that PPS repair and maintain the parking lot for the next fifteen years, at which time the cost coverage by parties will be reevaluated.

D. The Superintendent recommends to the Board that the Parking and Access Easement be granted to Portland Parks and Recreation in exchange for an Easement on land in Grant Park needed for the construction of the new Grant High School parking lot.

RESOLUTION

1. The Board finds that an easement on and over a portion of Portland Parks and Recreation Grant Park is required for the construction of the new Grant High School parking lot and agrees that Portland Parks and Recreation be granted a reciprocal easement on and over the portion of PPS Grant High School parking on PPS property under Board Policy 8.70.040-P

2. The Board authorizes the Superintendent or his designee to grant the easement to Portland Parks and Recreation. The Board further authorizes the Deputy Clerk to enter into and execute such agreements in a form approved by General Counsel.
