11.1First Reading and Approval of Board Policy and Regulation 6174 - Education for English LearnersAction (Consent)
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board read, discuss, and approve Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 6174 - Education for English Learners. This policy was updated to remove outdated material and reflect new law (SB 941) which permits a district to enter into an instruction collaboration agreement with another school district, county office of education, or charter school to offer the same or similar courses and coursework to students who have been impacted by teacher shortages, disruptions, or cancellations to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics classes, or dual immersion programs. Additionally, this policy was updated to reflect updated information from the California Department of Education's (CDE) English Learner Federal Program Monitoring 2023-24 Instrument. This regulation was updated to remove outdated material and reflect updated information from the California Department of Education's (CDE) English Learner Federal Program Monitoring 2023-24 Instrument, CDE's Reclassification Criteria website, and letters from CDE which provide updated reclassification guidance regarding the criteria used to determine whether and English learner should be reclassified, including a review of the student's curriculum mastery and academic performance, the provision of an interpreter for parents/guardians, when necessary, as part of the parent/guardian involvement, comparison of student performance on an objective assessment of basic skills in English against an empirically established range of performance in basic skills, based on the performance of English proficient students of the same age, which demonstrates whether the student is sufficiently proficient in English to participate effectively in a curriculum designed for student's of the same age whose native language is English. This regulation was also updated to include that the four year of post-reclassification monitoring should be utilized to ensure that students have not prematurely exited, any academic deficit incurred through participation in the English learner program has been remedied, and the student's are meaningfully participating in the standard instructional program compared to student's who had never participated in an English learner program. Additionally, this regulation was updated to clarify that the LCAP advisory committee provides input regarding exiting language acquisition programs and the possible establishment of other programs. Financial Impact: No financial impact to the School District at this time. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Wendy Kelly, Deputy Superintendent Approved by: John R.

13.1Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - October 2023Information
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Sections 41001 and 41002 generally provide that all money received by or apportioned to a school district shall be paid into the county treasury to be placed to the credit of the proper fund of the district. Pursuant to California Education Code Section 41015, the District may invest all or part of funds deposited in a Special Reserve Fund or any surplus monies not required for the immediate necessities of the District in any of the investments specified in California Government Code Sections 16430 or 53601. Historically, districts in San Mateo County have been depositing all of their funds into the county treasury. The County Treasurer has made investment decisions for the school districts, which is not a unique practice statewide. School district funds on deposit with the county treasury, along with funds deposited by other agencies, are placed in a County investment pool, and profits and losses realized from these invested funds are shared among the pool participants in proportion to the amount invested. Financial Impact: Gross pool earnings for Month ending October 2023: 3.378% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.73 years with an average duration of 1.57 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
