ACTION -Approve Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Strategic Plan 2019-2023 Summary: A committee of 20 SGUSD educators, local experts, and community members, in partnership with the Los Angeles Arts Ed Collective, created a strategic vision for TK-12 Visual and Performing Arts education in San Gabriel Unified with the goal of increasing access and equity of comprehensive, quality arts education for ALL SGUSD students. Recommended Motion: The Superintendent recommends approval of the Visual and Performing Arts Strategic plan for 2019-2023. Rationale: It is the mission of the Visual and Performing Arts Department to ensure that high quality arts is an integral and accessible part of a comprehensive SGUSD education. We believe that arts education enhances the district goal of developing artistically literate graduates who are excellent Communicators, Mindful and Lifelong Learners, Creative Thinkers, Collaborators, Innovators, and Compassionate Decision Makers. In 2009, a goal to establish a comprehensive, integrated visual and performing arts program at every level, was written into the SGUSD Educational Master Plan and approved by the school board. Shortly thereafter, economic recession, along with a drastic shift in how California schools are funded (LCFF) resulted in the plan being shelved. At the start of the 2018-2019 school year, SGUSD partnered with the LA County Arts Ed Collective to create a 5-year VAPA strategic plan. A committee of approximately 20 community members was brought together to collaborate. Like most of California, SGUSD is experiencing declining enrollment, among other competitive factors, that limit available funding. However, the district believes in the power of arts education, and is committed to support improvement and expansion to serve all SGUSD students equitably with high quality arts education.

Shellhart- parents showed some apprehension, but with talking points, all has moved smoothly. Joyce Yeh- it looks interesting and colorful.

BUSINESS SERVICES 8.a. ACTION (ROLL CALL) - Adopt Resolution No. 10/2018-19 Inter-Fund Cash Transfer Summary: To adopt a cash borrowing resolution allowing the District to borrow cash between funds or from the County Treasury for operating needs in a cash shortage situation. (Attached) Recommended Motion: It is recommended that the Governing Board adopt Resolution No. 10/2018-19 to authorize Inter-fund cash transfers for the 2019-2020 school year and authorize the Superintendent or designee to execute the necessary documents. Rationale: During the normal course of business operation, there are certain routine inter-fund accounting activities that need to take place which necessitate the need for a cash transfer. It is recommended that the Governing Board delegate the authority to process the routine inter-fund cash transfer needed, in order to maintain adequate cash and fiscal solvency. The amount of any single inter-fund transfer shall not exceed $2,000,000.00. Discussion: Mrs. Haas- what is this for? Ms. Yeh- it is required by LACOE as an operating measure to make sure none of our operating funds will be short. Mrs. Haas- this authorizes, just in case? Ms. Yeh- Yes. Pres. Shellhart- Are there any caps? Ms. Yeh: $2,000,000. Action: Approved unanimously. 8.b.

Comments: None. Action: Approved unanimously. 9. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES 9.a. ACTION - Approve Curriculum for Mandarin Dual Immersion Program at Wilson Elementary School (Quote Attached) Summary: The Mandarin Immersion Committee approved Better Chinese following a review of the materials by Ivonne Contreras, Principal at Wilson Elementary and Jim Symonds, Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services. Consultation with other local school districts on the effectiveness of Better Chinese in their Mandarin Immersion Programs was a chief consideration. After researching the materials and conducting a thorough review, the Mandarin Immersion Committee recommended Better Chinese as the curriculum for the Mandarin Immersion Program at Wilson Elementary. Recommended Motion: The Superintendent recommends approval of the Better Chinese Curriculum for the Mandarin Immersion Program at Wilson Elementary School Rationale: The San Gabriel Unified School District approved a Mandarin Dual Immersion Program for Wilson Elementary School starting in the Fall of 2019-2020. The program will utilize the 90/10 instructional model. The students in Kindergarten will receive 90% of their instruction in Mandarin and 10% in English. A curriculum is required to deliver the Mandarin Language Arts portion of the instructional day. A Mandarin Immersion Committee was established in the Spring of 2019 consisting of Wilson parents, District and Site Administration, School Board Members, and community members. The charge of the committee was to determine the program model, approve curriculum, and decide if instruction would be delivered using traditional or simplified characters. The committee decided to use traditional characters based on the rationale that students would be able to read simplified characters after learning to read traditional characters. The committee visited other school Districts, including South Pasadena, who currently delivers instruction using traditional characters. South Pasadena Unified School District has experienced success implementing the Better Chinese curriculum and recommended the curriculum as a means of delivering the California State Content Standards in Mandarin. After investigating the program, it was determined that Better Chinese has been working with schools teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language since 1997 and understands the importance of engaging students with context-rich materials, facilitating teachers’ lesson planning process, and getting parents’ involvement to extend learning beyond the classroom. Nine U.S. states have conducted formal reviews for Chinese language materials that must align and correlate to the Common Core State Standards. Better Chinese's curricular materials have been adopted and approved by all nine states: Georgia, Idaho, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. The Mandarin Immersion Committee made the decision to adopt Better Chinese as the Mandarin Language Arts curriculum. The materials were reviewed based on the following criteria:
Mrs. Alvarado- the materials are in the back. It’s very exciting. Action: Approved unanimously. 9.b. ACTION – Approve the Consultant Agreement Between San Gabriel USD and Joe Dombrowski for School Year 2019-2020 Recommended Motion: The Superintendent recommends approval of the Consultant Agreement with Joe Dombrowski for the 2019-2020 school year. Not to exceed $9,500. Rationale: Joe Dombrowski will offer Professional Development on November 1, 2019, in the role of Keynote speaker and facilitator of the breakout session, Study Hall with Mr. D! Inspiring the world to laugh, have fun and live life to the fullest. Mr. D will provide an engaging keynote that inspires teachers to make school a place where people want to be versus where they must be. Both his keynote and breakout session align with San Gabriel’s vision for Portrait of a Graduate, specifically two of its key ideals: communicators and mindful learner. Comments: None. Action: Approved unanimously. 9.c. ACTION - Approve Consolidated Application, Spring Data Collection 2019-2020 Recommended Motion: The Superintendent recommends approval of the submission of the 2019-2020 Consolidated Application (Con App) for funding. Rationale: The Consolidated Application must be submitted to the California Department of Education (CDE) for the district to receive funds for federal categorical programs. The information submitted indicates that the San Gabriel Unified School District requests participation in federal programs including: Title I, Part A (Basic Grant): Low Income/Low achieving students Title II, Part A: Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting Title III, Part A: Immigrant and Limited English Proficient Students (LEP) Title IV, Part A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants State programs, including Economic Impact Aid, previously part of the Consolidated Application, have been integrated into the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Federal Guidelines also allow non-profit private schools to participate with the public-school district in federal programs. By approving this request, the District will continue to receive Federal Funds to support the district's core program. Comments: None. Action: Approved unanimously. 9.d. ACTION - Approve West San Gabriel Valley SELPA and San Gabriel Unified School District’s Master Agreement for Nonpublic, Nonsectarian School/Agency Services, School Year 2019-2020 (Special Education) Summary: Education Code Section 56300-56381 allow school districts to enter into contracts with nonpublic, nonsectarian schools and agencies for the purpose of providing special education, related services, or residential services to individuals with exceptional needs. The West San Gabriel Valley Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) developed an agreement for districts to use when contracting for nonpublic school and/or agency services. Goals and objectives are included in each student’s Individualized Education Plan and the specialized services provided by a non-public school/agency Placement cannot be provided by district special education staff. Whenever a school district provides such special education services, it is necessary to enter into a contract with the designated agency. Recommended Motion: The Superintendent recommends the approval of the Master Agreement of Nonpublic, Nonsectarian School and Agency Services for the 2019-2020 School Year. Rationale: Education Code Section 56300-56381 allow school districts to enter into contracts with nonpublic, nonsectarian schools and agencies for the purpose of providing special education, related services, or residential services to individuals with exceptional needs. The West San Gabriel Valley Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) developed an agreement for districts to use when contracting for nonpublic school and/or agency services. Goals and objectives are included in each student’s Individualized Education Plan and the specialized services provided by a non-public school/agency Placement cannot be provided by district special education staff. Whenever a school district provides such special education services, it is necessary to enter into a contract with the designated agency. The following is a list but not limited to the following providers of nonpublic schools and agencies for the 2019-2020 school year: The Academy for the Advancement of Children with Autism; The Almansor Center; Applied Behavior Consultants; Augmentative Communication Therapies; Beach Cities; Canyon View School; Cinnamon Hills; Center for Autism & Related Disorders; Center for Developing Kids, Inc; Communication Connection; Devereux School; Dynamic Therapy; Dynamic Therapy Solutions; DC Physical Therapy; Elliott Institute; Excelsior Youth Centers; Five Acres School; Frostig School; Foundation for the Junior Blind; Helping Hands Physical Therapy; The Help Group; The Heritage Center; Hillside School and Learning Center; Hillsides Education Center; Innovative Behavior Therapies; Joan Macy School; Leeway School; Leroy Haynes School; Pasadena Child Development Associates; Professional Tutors; Rosemary Johnson and Associates; Speech and Language Development Center; Speech and Language Therapy Services; SEEK Education, Inc.; The Sycamores; Sorenson’s Ranch; Tobinworld; Total Education Solutions; Villa Esperanza Services; Village Glen; Vista Ridge School; Westmoreland Academy. Comments: None. Action: Approved unanimously. 9.e. ACTION - Approve Consultant Agreement with Dr. Susanne Smith Roley for an Occupational Therapy Independent Educational Evaluation for a Special Education Student, School Year 2018-2019 Summary: A Special Education parent disagrees with the District's occupational therapy evaluation and has requested an Independent Education Evaluation for their student. Per the West San Gabriel Valley SELPA's Independent Educational Evaluation Policy, the District is obligated to contract with a specialist who can fulfill this request and provide an impartial evaluation. Recommended Motion: The Superintendent recommends the approval of this Consultant Agreement with Dr. Susanne Smith Roley in an amount not to exceed $1,800.00 for the District to stay in compliance. Rationale: The San Gabriel Unified School District needs to provide an independent educational evaluation in the area of Occupational Therapy for a third-grade student. The parent disagrees with the District’s occupational therapy evaluation. In accordance with the West San Gabriel Valley SELPA’s Independent Educational Evaluation Policy, the parent may seek an Independent Educational Evaluation when they disagree with an evaluation completed by the District. The District is obligated to contract with a specialist who can provide an impartial evaluation. Comments: None. Action: Approved unanimously. 9.f. ACTION - Approve *RATIFICATION of Agreement with RO Health Inc. for Substitute LVN's District-Wide for School Year 2018-2019 Recommended Action: The Superintendent recommends the approval of the contract with RO Health Inc. to provide medical personnel to the District on an as needed basis for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year. Rationale: Two special education students currently have a 1:1 Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) aide, as agreed upon by the IEP team. In addition, one special education class in the district has a full time LVN in the class to provide medical care for the students in the class. Throughout the course of the school year, there is a need to provide daily nursing services, which cannot be provided by health aides, to students at multiple school sites. The District needs the services of an outside nursing agency to provide these nursing services in the event the LVNs are absent and need coverage. RO Health Inc. can provide LVNs, RN, CRNs, and CNAs to provide coverage should the need arise. On August 21, 2018, the Board approved the contract with RO Health to provide these services. The District needs to contract with RO Health for additional hours to cover the nursing needs for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year. Comments: None. Action: Approved unanimously. 9.g. ACTION - Approve Consultant Agreement with Paradigm Healthcare Services for LEA Medi-Cal Reimbursement Services – July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2022, Special Education Recommended Action: The Superintendent recommends the approval of the consultant agreement with Paradigm Healthcare Services for July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2022 for LEA Billing Services. Rationale: In 2004, the District entered into a contract with Paradigm HealthCare Services for LEA Medi-Cal direct billing and reimbursement services. Paradigm works directly with the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to submit reimbursement requests for school districts. Following regulations developed by DHCS, districts are eligible for reimbursement for providing health and mental health services and evaluations offered in the school setting to Medi-Cal enrolled students. Services provided by psychologists, speech and language pathologists, school nurses, and occupational therapists to students who have direct services as indicated on their IEP are eligible for reimbursement. The services provided are submitted for the time the therapist spent with eligible students through Paradigm Healthcare Services who then uses proprietary algorithms and know-how to determine Medi-Cal eligibility, and then submits our data with DHCS for reimbursement through the Medi-Cal Program. Payment for these eligible services is then directly received by DHCS. In addition, Paradigm provides the district’s coordinator and health care provider staff with ongoing training to implement and maintain an optimized, audit-ready program. The LEA Medi-Cal reimbursement program requires the constant monitoring of local, state, and federal agencies and their policies. LEA is administratively involved with rules that have gone through significant changes in the past three years. As a result, we need a vendor who will assume responsibility for the program; ensuring every dollar is maximized and every administrator is relived of the administrative burden of this program.

If there are any routes that they cannot cover then those routes will be assigned to the secondary selection transportation company; Hop Skip Drive.
