II. Action Items

A.

Prop 39 Over-allocation Cost Payment From Reserve Funds

A. Rubalcava, MPS CEO and Superintendent, presented the over-allocation item to the board. He explained that the payment request from LAUSD was due to the difference between the projected ADA versus actual ADA for the past 3 years for MSA-3, MSA-4, and MSA-5. MPS staff recommends to pay the amount requested given that it is part of the MOU between the schools and the district. MPS staff verified the amounts owed based on student numbers. Staff stated that there is enough money in the schools' reserve funds to pay the amounts requested. A. Rubalcava, stated that there may be additional payment requests and these too will be verified by MPS staff before payment is granted. All questions were addressed. 
D. Gonzalez made a motion to approve and authorize MPS Staff to pay to the LAUSD over-allocation fees in the total amount of $527,933.01 consisting of $244,506.50 for MSA-3, $219,663.36 for MSA-4, and $63,763.15 for MSA-5 as set forth below (refer to board report). The fees will be paid from each school’s long term reserves.
