A state of emergency still exists in California.  In addition, the board of JJMS is aware of the recommendations from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health regarding limiting virus exposure when feasible.   The board should consider a motion to hold all board meetings online for the next 30 days. 

The board will consider possible quarantine/isolation causing a loss of quorum of board members in this determination. 

One of the teachers elected by their peers will present a brief report on victories and challenges facing the school in the first month of our new home.

Attached is a new adjusted budget for 2022-23.    State Funding timelines have changed.  There have been minor changes in leadership positions.  We have final numbers on salary levels for positions that were open in July and early August.  

This section will contain agenda items that are required by our authorizer, LAUSD.  

This agend item addressed the documentation required by the Williams lawsuit in regard to our declaration of sufficient instructional materials.  Attached is a list of instructional materials, specifically textbooks, for each of the content areas monitored by Williams decree: ELA, MATH, HISTORY/SS, SCIENCE, and HEALTH EDUCATION.   Also attached are forms signed by teachers of record for those classes stating that they have sufficient materials for all of their students.

JJMS classrooms are equipped with a chromebook for every child in the class.   JJMS also provides laptops and internet hotspots to any family that has declared they lack those items at home.  This allows every student to access materials presented as digitial subscriptions. 

The board should consider a motion to declare that JJMS has sufficient instructional materials for each individual student. 

The board should consider a motion to add a detail to the motion that was passed on 8/19/2021 regarding a Local Area Authorization for Sohail Bhatri to teach math during the 2021-22 school year.  The board should specify that the SEID number for Mr Bhatri's LAO authorization is 1696693314

The JJMS Administrative Team asks the JJMS Board to remove the policy creating Independent Study for enrolled students.  Current health regulations do not call for frequent quarantines due to COVID-19.  All long-term illnesses can now be handled by referring families to the Carlson Home Hospital program.

The board should consider the following motion:  JJMS will not offer independent study programs.  Students who need to be absent from school for more than 10 days due to a medical condition will be referred to Carlson Home Hospital and will be able to autormatically re-enroll at JJMS after their medical condition is resolved. 

During the past school year, the JJMS Board voted to provide Myranda Marsh with a one month paid sabatical.   This sabatical will be taken during the month of October 2022.  

During this time, the JJMS Board of Directors should name Griselda Lara as the interim Executive Director and invest Mrs. Lara with all of the authority and signing powers of the JJMS Executive Director.   The board should also consider providing a stipend to Mrs. Lara for taking on additional duties during October. 

As required by law, the Board will vote to set the 2022-23 compensation for the Executive Director, Myranda Marsh.
