Based on the recommendation of staff, the CBO recommends the board approve the use of the Multitudes Reading Screening Assessment for use with grades 1 and 2. The board previously approved this assessment for use with Kindergarten. The current board approved assessment for grades 1 and 2, ROAR, is difficult to administer and we do not think has provided us reliable data. Multitudes is also appropriate for grades 1 and 2 and has been much more efficient to administer and we think has provided reliable data.

The CBO recommends the board approve LFCS issuing the San Diego County Joint Powers Authority a written preliminary notice of our intent to leave the JPA effective June 30, 2026 for property liability, commercial general liability, employment practices, excess, commercial crime, energy systems breakdown, electronic data processing, employer's liability, cyber, errors and omissions, auto, uninsured driver, and workers compensation insurance coverage and obtaining all of these coverages in accordance with our MOU with the San Diego County Office of Education, through the brokers Marsh & McLennan. Projected yearly savings are $150,000 - $200,000. Vector online trainings would replace the trainings available through the JPA Learning Library. Insurance coverage through MMA would be carried by companies rated "Best: A+ XV. Final notice to the JPA is due by May 30, 2026. The cost of leaving the JPA is estimated at $32,000 as the process for a school in the JPA's small district pool leaving the JPA is unchartered territory. There is another school from this pool who has given the JPA preliminary notice of leaving and as of now is the first one. A sample preliminary notice is attached if the board should decided in favor of this action.

The CBO recommends the board approve the 2025-26 Second Interim Report.

Discuss the LFCS Board of Trustees Planning Calendar.
