There were no additions or corrections to the agenda.

There were no presentations from the Public.

The school committee reports were made available to the Board.

The Fiscal Committee met on June 14, 2021 to discuss the FY21-22 budget and the committee is recommending the Board approve the proposed FY21-22 budget with the new teacher salary scale. 

The Academic Excellence Committee does not have an official report.  However, the Committee plans to meet with the Schools in late July to receive an update on recent data and outcomes.

Focus for 21-22:
Over the course of the spring semester, our Guiding Coalition Committee conducted a full school review utilizing the McKinsey 7S model. We discussed staffing, strategy, structure, systems, style, staff, and skills, and we discussed how these elements of our school aligned with our core shared values. We envisioned the school we wanted to rebuild as we reopen, and decided on several key steps moving forward. First, we will focus on a strategy of service learning and social justice, as those elements of our charter petition set us apart from other schools in the community.

On June 4th, MORCS hosted a movie night for our 8th graders! It was the one and only on-campus social event in the last year and a half. We observed all safety precautions including social distancing, temperature checks, and COVID testing for all guests the week beforehand.

On Friday, June 11th, MORCS hosted two in-person culmination
ceremonies, observing all safety measures including social distancing, temperature checks, and COVID testing for all guests the week beforehand.  The events were also streamed online.

At the end of this academic 2020-2021 year, I compiled a list of accomplishments that our team was responsible for during Distance Learning. I summarized them in a JamBoard presentation for our final
meeting session. In lieu of a regular text-only board report, I have provided a link to the presentation here, as well as links to our NWEA internal assessment data for the 2020-2021 school year, and finally, an A-G grades audit for both first and second semester.

The COO obtained several grants for the schools.  They were discussed in individual action items later in the agenda.  See Board Action Items.

LAUSD:
Special Education Funding -
LAUSD has released the estimated special education rates for the 2021-22 fiscal year:

• IDEA: $267.30
• AB 602: $688.90
• Total: $956.20

The amount presents a welcome and appreciated increase at both the federal (IDEA) and state (AB 602) levels, but will not fully fund the programs and services necessary to meet the needs of our Students with Disabilities. As a reminder, these rates are per ADA, not IEP.
YPICS:All three schools ended on a positive note. The middle schools held excellent community culmination events which celebrated students and families. YPICS is looking forward to celebrating with the BCCHS Seniors on August 1, 2021. Finally, as the year closes the schools are occupied with preparing for summer expanded learning programs while at the same time preparing for the fall semester of in-person instruction.

Consent Item #4 - School Services of California Association is being moved off the consent calendar and will be presented at the next meeting.

This is an information item and will be brought forth for a vote at a later time.

The Board moved into Closed Session at 7:13pm.

Open Session reconvened at 7:39pm. 

Action Taken:
The Board approved the LAUSD overallocation settlement terms.
