Mrs. Ondrea Reed updated the Board regarding the Contingency Planning for the 2020-21 School Year. We reviewed feedback that we had received on surveys that we received back from staff as well as our parents on emergency distance learning. We also reviewed two surveys that went out to our teaching community and staff that looked at a potential change to our modified calendar and looking to see if we could have support from those two groups to push the start date of our calendar to August 31. We then outlined in detail the work that we are currently doing, there is a remote distance learning committee which is comprised of 51 members of district staff looking at contingency planning for a traditional model, a hybrid model and a remote teaching model that are all potentials for the start of the 2020-21 school year. Mrs. Reed discussed we broke down the proposed subcommittees that the group would be working in; elementary, middle/high school, secondary special education, hybrid learning, remote virtual learning, mental health and trauma informed instruction. We also went through the cyber results on reopening schools and we were very excited to have over 5,000 parent responses giving us their feedback as to their preference on reopening our schools. Mrs. Reed also discussed the modified re-opening of high school athletics, and visual performing arts programs which begins on June 10 with CIF sports potentially returning on a modified workout capacity on June 15 really following the national federation of state high schools association in sports medicine advisory committee phase II guidelines aligned with the Orange County Public Health Phase II Guidelines. Mrs. Reed reported we walked the Board through the multiple measures and protocols that we are taking to maintain the highest priority for safety and health for our athletes and coaches as we do this work. All of our re-opening guidelines are posted on our district website.
Dr. Nien updated the Board and asked the Board’s input on budget items. With COVID-19, California’s economy came to a screeching halt this year like the rest of the world. Both federal and state government shifted the annual income tax deadline from April 15 to July 15 has created an issue of revenues for the state and federal. Deferrals have been proposed for this fiscal year and next fiscal year as well. Los Alamito’s impact of LCFF funding is -$33 million for the next three years. The District’s overall projected deficit is $41 million. The Board of Education would like to use some additional projected revenues including Special Education AB602 increases and Retiree OPEB investment return. The Board will make reductions in contribution to deferred maintenance and special reserve for capital outlay projects. There will be other items that the District will bring to Board at the June 23 meeting. District will be bringing the proposed budget for 2020-21 at the next Board District.
