Cal OES XB Program:  In 2016, Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD) was awarded a 3 year grant from California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Bullying and School Violence Advocacy (XB) Program in the amount of $300,000 to address the serious challenges of bullying and school violence in our middle schools. We have the opportunity to renew some of this grant funding for one additional year (Jan 2020 to Dec 2020) in the amount of $154, 067, through a non-competitive application process only current grant recipients are asked to apply for.  

This round of (XB) Program funds will allow us to bring an additional community mental health resource on board through Mentis and expand our XB program mental health support component. These services will be housed at three elementary schools and at River School. As in the previous application, direct services will continue to be provided through three main avenues: 1) Education & Outreach; 2) Criminal Justice Advocacy and 3) Counseling & Mental Health Support. 

The XB Program and services will continue to be housed through our NVUSD Wellness Program under the supervision of the Director of Student Services, in partnership with the following community based partners: Mentis, Napa Police Department, Napa District Attorney Office and Napa County Office of Education. The attached Operational Agreements/MOUs describe in detail the services and supports that will continue to be provided to NVUSD students and families if funding is awarded. We request approval for the additional calendar year.

JL Modular Change Order #3 includes costs to add the Pelican  Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) control system to all modular buildings.  This is a change that was made during the design process, but never charged to the District.

Additionally, there are emergency chlorination of the entire campus costs.  This work was performed the weekend prior to school starting and was done to ensure that the entire campus water piping system was free of contamination and clean for students to use.  There are some minor costs for repairing of damage caused during the move-in process and costs for deepened footings required by Division of the State Architect (DSA).  

Finally, there are costs associated with the modification of Building A to comply with California Department of Education (CDE) requirements.  These changes were made to facilitate NVUSD obtaining additional funding from the State (approximately $8.5 million dollars) for the replacement of Irene Snow Elementary School.

Fiscal Impact $89,520.12 (0.8% of the original contract).  Financial Source: Measure H.
 
The total cumulative change orders for the Design-Build Modular Buildings at Snow Elementary School Project are in the amount of $480,501.28, 4.2% of the original contract, which are within the allocated amount of contingency budgeted.

Approval of Change Order #3 to JL Modular, Inc. of Santa Rosa,  for the Design-Build Modular Buildings at Snow Elementary School Project.

Change Order #7 to BHM Construction, Inc. for the River School Project includes several owner initiated changes that include, creating a soffit to hide exposed fire sprinkler piping, the addition of openings in the gymnasium that improved flow and access at the gym, relocation of soils to create off-street parking and address neighbor complaints, the addition of gutters and downspouts to the lunch shelter,  the addition of the Pelican Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) control system to existing Building C,  the modifications of conduit installation to facilitate some landscaping changes, additional wall protection in the gymnasium,  installation of Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) racks in Building C and sharing of costs to replace flooring in two classrooms. 

Also included are minor design errors or omissions that include the installation of a gas seismic valve not indicated on the contract drawings, a stair nosing detail that was not clearly depicted on the drawings and the monitoring of fire sprinkler backflow piping. There is a single unforeseen condition associated with Change Order #7 and that change is the relocation of unforeseen underground gas piping.  

The largest monetary impact in this Change Order was the sports field redesign.  The original contract scope included a synthetic turf field and synthetic track.  However, the synthetic turf itself was not a part of the contract and was to be supplied and installed at NVUSD expense outside of the contract.  This would have equated to costs in excess of $1M.  The redesign of the field will push the project beyond the scheduled completion date, which generated extended general conditions for the contractor.  However, the field redesign will leave the District with a more cost-effective, easier to maintain finished product at a savings of about $1M.

Fiscal Impact:$292,253 (1.5% of the original contract).  Financial Source: Measure H.

Change Order #8, to Arntz Builders, Inc. for the Campus Renovation at Irene Snow Elementary School Project includes credits for the originally designed handrail, which was changed to reduce costs and increase the durability and stamped asphalt.  Stamped asphalt was removed to facilitate future patching of the surface, should it be required.  

There are three changes associated with changes to the bid set of plans vs. the Division of the State Architect (DSA) approved set of plans.  These changes are associated with roofing attachments and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access at a gate east of the multi-use building.  Within this change order there are costs for several unforeseen conditions.  These include the installation of a structural posts, modifications to air supply duct, costs to remove failing underlayment in the library building, sewer blockage and the lowering of an existing conduit in the parking lot to facilitate grading.  

The two largest cost impacts from unforeseen conditions was the complete replacement of a ramp that was poured in the summer of 2018 due to native soil failure and the off-haul of excess spoils that were generated by the numerous soils issues that have been experienced on the site.  Some changes are associated with improved maintenance, site safety and functionality issues. 

The largest portion of Change Order #8 are associated with modifications that were made to comply with California Department of Education (CDE) and additional costs associated with Foster Road improvements that were required by the City of Napa.  Some of the City requirements were triggered by our changes to the site in an effort to comply with CDE demands. These changes associated with CDE allowed the District to successfully obtain millions in funding from the state for the Snow School replacement.

The Napa Valley Unified School District governance team, which includes the Superintendent and Board of Trustees, has been actively working on Goal #6 of the district's strategic plan, Strategic, Impactful Governance and Policy Implementation. As part of this critical governance improvement work, a new governance handbook was developed with the guidance of the California School Boards Association. 

This document reflects the governance team’s work on the creation of a framework for effective governance.  This process involves ongoing discussions and agreements about unity of purpose, roles, norms and protocols that enable the governance team to continue to perform its responsibilities in a way that best benefits all children. 

On May 3, 2019 and July 16, 2019, Napa Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees and Superintendent participated in workshops on Effective Governance with the California School Boards Association. This document reflects the governance team’s discussions about developing and sustaining a framework for effective governance and includes highlights of their conversations about unity of purpose, roles, norms and protocols that enable the governance team to continue to perform its responsibilities in a way that best serves all students.

The draft handbook was presented on November 14, 2019 for initial review and discussion and this final draft, after some proposed revisions, is being proposed for adoption at the board of education meeting on December 12, 2019.

Approval of the final Napa Valley Unified Board of Education Governance Handbook.

In accordance with Board Policy 9130, the Napa Valley Unified Board of Education will be establishing the following four board advisory committees for the upcoming year:

• Curriculum and Student Support
• Policy
• Finance
• Facilities and Technology

Board representatives will be assigned to each committee. A calendar of committee meeting dates will be made available at a later date via the district's website. A description of each committees is provided here:

CURRICULUM & STUDENT SUPPORT COMMITTEE: A primary goal of the Board of Education is to support student achievement by continuing to expand curriculum development, assessment systems, professional development opportunities, and programs that support student success for the organization. This committee works to ensure actions taken by District staff support the vision for student achievement and high quality teaching and learning. The committee meets quarterly.

The committee reviews the budget close for the previous year first interim, second interim, and the budget model proposed for adoption. The committee meetings center around the budget development calendar (Sept., Dec., March, and June) and thus call for quarterly meetings.

FACILITIES and TECHNOLOGY: The goal of the Board of Education is to ensure that district facilities and technology support classroom instruction as well as District operations. Because of the high demand of facilities and technology projects occurring within the district, this committee meets monthly. The calendar of meetings is set by the committee and is aligned with Board meeting dates to ensure that the facilities and technology project needs are met in a timely manner.

Purchase of 27 security cameras, infrastructure, and installation for River Middle School, which includes Phase 1 of server and storage hardware infrastructure for the Measure H District Wide Security Camera Project.  The scope of work is planning to include the following: 

• Installation of 27 Panasonic security cameras
• 9 additional cable runs to support the additional cameras needed for proper coverage of the site
• Purchasing of 27 cameras
• Purchasing of Qognify video management system (software) and licensing for 5 years
• Purchase of system hardware consisting of Storage enclosure and servers to run video management system servers

In an effort to provide a safe and secure learning and working environment for our students and staff, we are working towards implementing a District wide security cameras system. In the first step towards achieving this goal, we are focusing on River Middle School as the initial site of deployment and implementation.
Ultimately, this camera security system will allow the District to manage all sites from a single point of access (single windowpane) and provide permissible access for designated staff (Principals, Security personnel, specific District staff). The cameras will offer high definition coverage with infrared capabilities for night vision and recording and will offer historical footage for up to 4 weeks.  

PROCUREMENT METHODS:  In order to secure all equipment through approved alternative bidding methods, two procurement methods were obtained, PEPPM and CMAS. 

Pennsylvania Education Purchasing Program for Microcomputers (PEPPM):  PEPPM is a national technology bidding and purchasing cooperative administered by the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit (CSIU), established in 1982. The CSIU staff solicits bids on popular lines of hardware, software, and services satisfying legal bid requirements. PEPPM aggregates buyers and demand in states across the country to get the lowest prices for technology products.  LEAs can then release purchase orders for technology products without having to solicit their own bids.  

ASG

• Cameras - PEPPM Price List 11-13-2019 $23,546.00

 California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS):  The State of California establishes multiple award agreements in accordance with Public Contract Code Sections 10290 et seq. and 12101.5 (effective January 1994).  A multiple award is an award to two or more contractors for the same products and/or services at the same or similar prices.  Because of this, all pricing, products and/or services offered must have been previously bid and awarded on a Federal GSA schedule.  A CMAS vendor is one that has been awarded these specific type of government contracts called the California Multiple Award Schedule.  This procurement method allows Districts to take advantage of the pricing already vetted/established by other state agencies.  That same pricing can be used for the same products in a different district.  

ASG

• Video Management Systems (VMS) - CMAS #: 3-18-84-0069A $75,548.000

Human Resources is seeking to retain the services of Education Management Solutions to complete a comprehensive classification and compensation study for up to 55 classified position titles based upon the most current, legally compliant and defensible data collection and function based job description design processes.  All project phases including design, data collection and analysis, findings and presentation is anticipated to be completed by June 30, 2020.

Accurate, defensible, legally compliant and understandable job information and compensation structures provide the basis for almost all Human Resource decisions. As staffing and work is reallocated to reflect the changing needs and resources of the districts, strategic job description realignment will be an ongoing need.  Along with the study of these particular positions, as part of the proposal, EMS will offer software access, training to HR staff and consulting on better procedures to build internal capacity for ongoing adjustments.

Approval of  Educational Management Systems Contract for Consulting Services.

Education Code and Title 5 Regulations provide local employing agencies with teacher assignment options that are available when local employing agencies are unable to assign a certificated employee with the appropriate credential. These options, know as Local Assignment Options, require teacher consent and Board approval. These Local Assignment Options provide the schools the flexibility to provide sections and in some cases, courses to the meet the needs of students.    For the majority of our middle school teachers who hold a multiple subject teaching credential, they are compliant for the subject areas assigned, however, the assignment settings that are authorized on a multiple subject teaching credential are self-contained or middle school core. Middle schools that are now on a block schedule do not meet the definition of middle school core. 

Submitted for approval are the assignments for elementary, middle school, and high teachers, whose credentials do not authorize one or more periods they are teaching.

There is no financial impact.

Approval of Local Assignment Options for Teacher Assignments.

The Instructional Support Services Division requests the approval of the Single Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) for middle and high schools. The SPSA is a comprehensive document providing details about the school’s planned actions and expenditures to support student outcomes and overall performance, and how these actions connect to the District’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which lays out goals for the entire District. 

The annual process of developing, reviewing, and updating the SPSA is conducted with each school’s School Site Council (SSC), a collaborative, advisory group made up of school staff, parents, community members, and, at the secondary level, students. Development of the SPSA is the Council’s primary responsibility, and offers schools and their respective communities an opportunity to:

• Be part of a collaborative and inclusive school support and growth process
• Review and analyze state and local student achievement, attendance, and climate data
• Engage the community in providing input to identify and develop school improvement priorities             
• Build relationships geared toward a mutual goal of supporting the success of all students
• Celebrate and highlight the work of the schools in building performance and growth

Each year, the School Site Council and the local governing board approve the Single Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA).
