Tulare Joint Union High School District Board Packet November 19, 2015 Meeting of November 19, 2015 FOR: INFORMATION TULARE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO: MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECEIVE: Interdistrict Attendance Agreement with Tulare County and Amendment to Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5117 on Interdistrict Attendance Background: The Education Code provides that once an interdistrict attendance transfer is granted, the student does not have to reapply for an interdistrict transfer each year, and the district of enrollment must allow the student to continue to attend the school in which he or she is enrolled. (Ed Code § 46600.) Thus, the student is not required to reapply each year in order to continue to attend the school. However, school districts may enter agreements providing different terms. The agreement must state the terms and conditions under which interdistrict attendance will be permitted or denied. The agreement may also establish the terms and conditions under which the interdistrict attendance permit (agreement between the school districts and student) may be revoked. The law allows a parent or guardian to request that their student be allowed to enroll in the schools of a district in which the parent or guardian does not reside. (Ed. Code § 46600 et seq.) The Countywide Interdistrict Attendance Agreement addresses the need for an agreement between school districts to allow for the Interdistrict attendance of students. The original Countywide Interdistrict Attendance Agreement was created in 2011 to address the change in the law that provided that once a student was granted an Interdistrict transfer, he or she could remain in the district of enrollment and did not need to reapply each year. At that time, many districts in Tulare County wanted to preserve the ability to require annual reapplication for interdistrict transfers, and thus the countywide interdistrict agreement was created. There are three important components of this process. The first component is the District’s Board Policy (“BP”) and Administrative Regulation (“AR”) on Interdistrict Transfers, these documents provide the procedure for reviewing a request for an interdistrict attendance permit. The second component is the Interdistrict Attendance Agreement, this is an agreement between two or more school districts that provides the terms and conditions for the interdistrict transfer of students between the districts. The third component is the Interdistrict Attendance Permit, an agreement between the district and the student. Current Considerations: The current Countywide Interdistrict Attendance Agreement takes effect on July 1, 2015 and expires on June 30. 2020. It requires that students reapply and be approved for an interdistrict transfer each school year and allows each school district to grant or deny a request for an interdistrict permit based on its own policies. One substantive change; includes language added by Assembly Bill 1156 (2011) regarding victims of bullying. The agreement is set up to allow each district to sign its own copy of the agreement at the bottom, and send a copy to the Tulare County Office of Education. Each district’s name will be added to Exhibit A, which will then be distributed to all the parties so that each district know what other districts have entered the agreement. The previous agreement was presented to the board on March 3. 2011 and expired on June 30, 2015. Fiscal Implications: There are no fiscal implications. Tulare Joint Union High School District Board Priorities: • Maintain Facilities and Student Growth • Maintain the Fiscal Integrity of the District and Fund the Board Priorities Tulare Joint Union High School District LCAP Goals: • To create a positive learning environment in which all students feel welcomed, valued, safe and engaged as part of a greater community • Implementation of the Facility Master Plan SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Sarah Koligian Superintendent PREPARED BY: Dr. Sarah Koligian, Superintendent Meeting of November 19, 2015 FOR: INFORMATION TULARE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO: MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECEIVE: Call for Nominations for CSBA Delegate Assembly Background: CSBA’s Delegate Assembly is a vital link in the association’s governance structure. Working with local districts, county offices, the Board of Directors, and Executive Committee Delegates ensure that the association reflects the interests of school districts and county offices of education throughout the state. Current Considerations: Nominations for CSBA Delegate Assembly, Region 12-A, are being accepted until Thursday, January 7, 2016. Two seats that represent Tulare County are up for re-election – Peter Lara from Porterville Unified School District and Donna Martin from Visalia Unified School District. The Board has the option to nominate Board Members for the two seats or re-elect the two incumbents when the ballot is received in March 2016. Fiscal Implications: None. Tulare Joint Union High School District Board Priorities: Continue to Strengthen Internal and External Communication Systems SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Sarah Koligian Superintendent PREPARED BY: Dr. Sarah Koligian, Superintendent Meeting of November 19, 2015 FOR: INFORMATION TULARE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO: MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECIEVE: Proposal for Winter Session Background: The District recently presented information to the board on the number of students needing credits to graduate this 2015-2016 school year. As part of a short term solution, the District developed a list of short term solutions. One of those solutions is to offer a Winter Session to give seniors an opportunity to make up credits during the Winter break. Current Considerations: The District is requesting approval to offer a Winter Session English class at each of the comprehensive schools. The dates for the Winter session will be December 28 to December 31 and January 4 to January 8, for a total of nine days. The counselors at each school have already talked with students in need of credits for graduation to ask if they were interested in taking this course. Each school has at least 25 students that have expressed interest in taking a Winter session class. The cost to offer the Winter session would be approximately $13,690. We would be able to recoup some ADA for some students making up an absence. The approximate amount would be around $5,000. Transportation will be provided for the Tipton and Pixley students with one pick- up location in each community. The cost for transportation is estimated to be $2,825.28. This brings the total cost to $16,515. The District is recommending approval to offer this 2015-2016 Winter Session. Fiscal Implications: Funding for the winter session classes would be $16,515 paid through the General Fund with the possibility of recovering $5000 in ADA for students making up absences through this Winter Session. This proposal meets the following LCAP Goals: Goal 1: Improve student achievement in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Goal 8: Provide students with essential skills to be college and career ready upon graduation. The short term and long term options shared with the board will be included in the LCAP when it is reviewed and updated. Tulare Joint Union Board Priorities: • Improve Student Opportunities and Performance Tulare Joint Union High School District LCAP Goals: • Academic achievement in English language arts and mathematics. • Provide students with essential skills to be college and career ready upon graduation. SUBMITTED BY: Dr. Sarah Koligian Superintendent PREPARED BY: Mr. Tony Rodriguez, Assistant Superintendent – Curriculum & Instruction Meeting of November 19, 2015 FOR: INFORMATION TULARE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO: MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECIEVE: Credit-Acceleration Charter High School Application Background: The TJUHSD has acquired the former TCOVE site at 4136 South Mooney Blvd. The 10 acre site contains administrative offices, a conference room, 6 classrooms, a food service facility, and two large shops. One shop is currently being leased by the College of the Sequoias (COS) Machine Shop class. Upon a review of student performance data, it was determined that a large percentage of 10th – 12th grade students are severely deficient in credits and in danger of not graduating. The TJUHSD Administrative and Management Team met and determined that an alternative educational option should be created to allow students deficient in credits the opportunity to accelerate the acquisition of credits towards graduation. The following is a draft of the charter application petitioning the California Department of Education for TJUHSD to create a charter high school to address the academic and behavioral needs of our most at-risk students. Current Considerations: Review the charter application for a credit-acceleration high school at the Mooney Blvd. location. Fiscal Implications: Initial costs will include administrative staffing, equipment, curriculum and supplies. The TJUHSD has secured approximately $800,000 from the California Career Pathway Trust (CCPT) Round 2 for the implementation of the career technical education courses of the educational program. Additionally, $200,000 is being set aside in Fund 400 to offset any building modifications. Tulare Joint Union High School District Board Priorities: Board Priority: 1 - Improve Student Opportunities and Performance Tulare Joint Union High School District LCAP Goal: Goal 6: Implementation of the Facility Master Plan.

    February 26, 2020 Chairman David Skaggs Co-Chairwoman Allison Hayward Office of Congressional Ethics 425 3rd Street, SW Suite 1110 Washington, DC 20024 Dear Chairman Skaggs and Co-Chairwoman Hayward: We write to request that the Office of Congressional Ethics (“OCE”) investigate whether Representative Devin Nunes is receiving free legal services in violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives (“House rules”). Specifically, Representative Nunes retained an attorney who represents him in several defamation lawsuits in various courts where he seeks a total of nearly $1 billion in damages. House rules prohibit a Member from receiving free legal services, unless the Member establishes a Legal Expense Fund (“LEF”). According to the House Legislative Resource Center, Representative Nunes has not filed any of the required reports to establish an LEF. The relevant facts detailed below establish that the OCE Board should authorize an investigation of Representative Nunes. Representative Nunes’s overt involvement with the highly-publicized lawsuits threatens to establish a precedent that the Legal Expense Fund (“LEF”) regulations no longer apply to Members. Although Representative Nunes is entitled to legal representation and he may pursue any legal action to protect and defend his interests, he must comply with House rules. An OCE investigation will preserve Representative Nunes’s legal right to counsel while upholding well-established House rules and precedent. House Rules Prohibit Members from Receiving Discounted or Free Legal Services A Member of the House of Representatives “may not knowingly accept a gift” with limited exceptions.1 A “gift” is defined to include “a gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, forbearance, or other item having monetary value.

Under the First Amendment, the government cannot compel Twitter to produce information related to the Account unless it “can show a compelling interest in the sought-after material and a sufficient nexusbetween the subject matter of the investigation and the information it seek[s].” Inre Grand Jury Subpoena No. 11116275,846 F.
