Governance

The board is asked to consider the approval of a Summer Camp for students to be held in the first three weeks of June. The Program will be offered from 9-1 daily with different weekly themes (Battlebots, Animal Robots, Inventions). This camp is not considered an extension of Bridges' curriculum, but an extracurricular activity for interested students.  The camp will operate at cost without generating a profit and and will accommodate 15 students per week. Priority enrollment will be given to Bridges students. If the spots are not filled by Bridges students, we will open up the camp to other students interested in enrolling. Two full scholarships will be available for Bridges students demonstrating financial need and who have a recommendation from their teacher.

Bridges administration has consulted with our auditor, our attorney, and our insurance company to assess risk and to determine legal compliance. 
 

The attached are salary schedules for food service employees that will be necessary to operate the NSLP. The salary scales were designed by Rudy Calasin who closely analyzed anticipated projections for annual meal sales as well as anticipated hourly need for food service employees with the intention of operating the program at break even point. 

We are presenting two new job descriptions for a Food Service Supervisor and a Food Service Assistant. The Food Service Supervisor position will coordinate and oversee the NSLP program in coordination with our Administrative Manager. The Food Service Assistant will primarily be responsible for assisting the Food Service Supervisor by serving food to students and keeping accurate records. 

The board's approval of these positions is recommended. 

The board is being asked to create a stipend for Erin Hirsch as instructor of our summer Robotics camp. The stipend will be paid at her daily rate for up to 15 days, NTE $6,100.00. The camp will operate only if we have enrollment of 12+ students per week. 

Approval is recommended.

Dr. Simon will present and receive board feedback on a preliminary proposal for the organization of our Special Education Programs for SY 2019-2020.

This suspension and expulsion policy has been established to promote learning and protect the safety and well being of all students at Bridges Charter School. In creating this policy, we have reviewed California Education Code and the language that follows closely mirrors the language of Education Code Section 48900.   This policy aligns with new state recommendations to move away from suspensions and expulsions for minor offences, allowing administrators to use more discretion. It also combines and replaces our previous board policies, which allowed less flexibility; BP 5144 Suspensions, BP 5144.10 Mandatory Suspensions and BP 5144.20 Expulsion.

I recommend approval of this policy.
