More Information
The Board unanimously approved the Districts Memorandum of Understanding with OPA and will not Revoke OPA's Charter. 800 Children get to keep their school!
On July 11, 2018, the Board conducted a public hearing on the issue of whether evidence exists to revoke OPA’s charter in accordance with Education Code § 47607(e).
In lieu of proceeding with the revocation of OPA's Charter which would force the closure of OPA mid year, the parties have agreed to work together to execute an MOU that would allow OPA to complete the 2018-19 academic school year while OPA can provide CUSD with additional information regarding that has been requested. OPA's charter expires at the end of the school year. If CUSD is not confident in OPA's restructuring then a Charter Renewal will not be granted.

OPA has signed the MOU. Staff moves approval of the Agreement. OPA's Charter will not be revoked. OPA's Charter comes up for renewal at the end of the 2018-19 School Year. If OPA meets the conditions of the MOU, the District will consider OPAs renewal petition at the end of the school year.

CUSDWatch Comment

(TAP) Teaching Assistant Principals

Currently CUSD has two types of TAPs'

• TAP I positions do not require an administrative credential. These are "teachers" who are part of CUEA... the teachers union aka Capistrano Unified Education Association. TAP I employees receive a stipend of $1,000 per year.
• Tap II positions require an administrative credential. These people are part of CUMA- Capistrano Unified Management Association. CUMA members do not pay Union dues. TAP II employees receive a stipend of $2,000 per year.

If the Board approves this Item the revision will create a single TAP classification and all TAPS will become members of CUEA.

Financial Implications: Staff has worked to create a cost-neutral recommendation through Administrative Regulation.

Increasing Dues paying members in the Teachers Union is usually NOT in the best interest of taxpayers and students. There is no explanation as to why this would benefit the education of students.

CUSDWatch Comment

Source: California Department of Education - Mandatory Expulsion

Education Code 48915(c) requires mandatory expulsion for the following:

Act must be committed at school or school activity.

1. Firearm Possessing firearm when a district employee verified firearm possession and when student did not have prior written permission from a certificated employee which is concurred with by the principal or designee. Selling or otherwise furnishing a firearm.
2. Brandishing a knife at another person.
3. Unlawfully selling a controlled substance listed in Health and Safety Code Section 11053 et. seq.
4. Committing or attempting to commit a sexual assault as defined in subdivision (n) of EC 48900 or committing sexual battery as defined in subdivision (n) of 48900.
5. Possession of an explosive.

Ed Code Section 48915(C)(3) Unlawfully selling a controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code

Staff is suggesting a change in policy from mandatory expulsion as required by law, to suspension or alternative to suspension.

The proposed changes violate Ed Code Section 48915(C)(3).

Although California law, mandates a "Zero Tolerance Policy" for specific on campus violations; the law is no longer being enforced in the Capistrano Unified School District, as evidenced by the lack of expulsions for the number of individuals committing these offenses.

CUSDWatch Comment

State and Federal Law require public schools to provide equal rights and opportunities to all persons in protected classes.

The District is required by law to notify parents and guardians of their children’s right to a free public education in an environment that is free from discrimination.

California Law requires CUSD to send notifications in 3 languages - English , Spanish and Farsi

Federal Protected Classes- Education

Federal Law prohibits Discrimination in Public Schools based on Sex, Race and National Origin, Age, Disability and ensures Equal Access to the Boy Scouts of America.

State Protected Classes - Education

California Education Code Section 200 was amended January 1, 2018 to broaden the class of people that are protected from discrimination to include Gender, gender identity and gender expression.

It is the policy of the State of California to afford all persons in public schools, regardless of their: disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code, including immigration status, equal rights, and opportunities in the educational institutions of the state. The purpose of this chapter is to prohibit acts that are contrary to that policy and to provide remedies therefor.

In 2017 California Assembly Bill 699 added "Immigration status" as a protected class.
California Education Code Section 48985(a)
(a) If 15 percent or more of the pupils enrolled in a public school that provides instruction in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, speak a single primary language other than English, as determined from the census data submitted to the department pursuant to Section 52164 in the preceding year, all notices, reports, statements, or records sent to the parent or guardian of any such pupil by the school or school district shall, in addition to being written in English, be written in the primary language, and may be responded to either in English or the primary language.

CUSDWatch Comment

CUSD has added new cites to Board Policy entitled "Management Resources". These cites are NOT LEGAL AUTHORITY and do not belong on Board Policies.

CSBA (California School Boards Association) as an example:

CSBA is the nonprofit education association. A membership-driven association, CSBA provides policy resources and training to its dues paying members. It is a POLITICAL ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION.

See: CSBA Public, Legislative and Legal Advocacy

CA School Boards Foundation

The California School Boards Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt educational organization whose mission is to provide direct support and training to school board members, conduct policy research and analysis, and recognize educational leadership and achievements in California. The Foundation is integral to achieving the long-term vision of CSBA, which is to build a “state where the public schools are widely recognized as the foundation of a free and democratic society, where local citizen governing boards are fully vested with the means to advance the best interests of students and the public, and where the futures of all children are driven by their aspirations, not bounded by their circumstances.”

CALL TO ACTION TAXPAYERS AND PARENTS

CUSD spends hundreds of thousands of dollars for memberships in Associations like CSBA. All of the organizations have political action pacs which often advocate against the interests of students and taxpayers. Ask CUSD to stop spending student money to fund political advocacy organizations like CSBA.

CUSDWatch Comment

Assembly Bill 699, signed into law in October 2017, expressly added “immigration status” as specified protected characteristic for purposes of anti-discrimination and equal protection laws in schools. This proposed revision of Board Policy 5180, Nondiscrimination, bring this policy in alignment to recent changes in law.

This policy must be translated in the student’s primary language if at least 15 percent of the students enrolled in the school speak a single primary language other than English. CUSD must translate this policy into Spanish and Farsi.

The proposed changes seek to empower school districts to govern "off campus" and "outside of school-related or school sponsored activities"

Board Agenda page 996

This policy shall apply to all acts related to school activity or to school attendance occurring within a district school, and to acts which occur off campus or outside of school-related or school-sponsored activities but which may have an impact or create a hostile environment at school. (Education Code 234.1)

New Recording Keeping Requirements

Board Agenda page 996

The Superintendent or designee shall maintain a record of all reported cases of unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, or bullying, to enable the District to monitor, address, and prevent repetitive prohibited behavior in District schools

This issue came up when the San Juan Hills High School Express Newspaper printed an expose on sex. "Relationships & Sex in High School"

Is a school newspaper an appropriate venue for an expose on Relationships & Sex in High School that feature headlines like "Popping the Cherry of the Virginity Myth" and "Do I look Slutty?" and "Let's Talk about sex, baby...

Board Audio at 0:00:24 Sally White- President of the CUEA (Teachers Union) spoke on behalf of the Teacher/Advisor that oversaw the Stallion Newspaper.

She expressed her concern about an e-mail that was sent out regarding a Face Book post regarding San Juan Hills High School Newspaper article on Relationships & Sex in High School.

She learned about it from her daughter and a friend who said that there were hundreds of angry responses on the Ladera Ranch Face Book page regarding the article and that hundreds of angry parents with pitch forks were ready to storm the school.

She met with the member. She wanted this to be resolved as quickly as possible to avoid controversy.

An investigation was initiated and a decision was made a few hours later.

Her concern.

Both the students and this advisor have been thrown under the bus while their first Amendment Rights have been down played. I was told by Staff this afternoon that this teacher who was named by the District is out on Administrative leave and that this District has already decided that he violated Board Policy. This is a confidential personnel matter. I was called and asked not to make this a public matter. To late. We are not the ones that took this public. My concern is that we now have a teachers who understands that their district and their administrators will not have their back if there is any controversy at a time when parents find controversy in everything. This does not feel like the spirit of collaboration. We would have appreciated a call BEFORE this unfortunate e-mail was sent out.

Board Audio at 3:18:06 Comment Trustee Jim Reardon. Can you provide us with the cost to the General Fund if the Waiver is not granted.

CUSDWatch Comment
California law now requires every school district in the State to provide breakfast and lunch free of charge to every student in a school designated "very high poverty".

Very high poverty schools are defined as one that qualify to receive the free meal rate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
School Districts that are unable to comply due to financial hardship may seek a waiver by adopting a resolution. The resolution shall be publicly noticed on at least two consecutive meeting agendas, on the first meeting agenda as an information item and on the second meeting agenda as an action item.

CUSD has two schools Kinoshita and RH Dana that meet the criteria as "very high poverty" schools. Without the waiver, CUSD will have to pay to provide a free breakfast and lunch to every student in the school.

The Resolution States as follows:

"Section 3. The District is unable to comply with the universal meal service program requirements of Education Code § 49564 for the following reasons.

The impacts of Senate Bill 138 would require the District to reimburse the Food and Nutrition Services Program for collection of Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Alternative Income Data Collection Forms from the general fund budget each year Food and Nutrition Services is exempt from collecting Free and Reduced-price Meal Applications. Because supplemental/concentration grant funding is determined by the identification of unduplicated pupil count, if there is a decline in the submission of Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Alternative Income Data Collection Forms or Free and Reduced-price Meal Applications, the District will see a reduction in LCFF funding received by the state.

The District is projecting deficit spending over the next few years and implementing this program would negatively affect revenues possibly impacting students while not providing any extra benefits to low income students.

Question: CUSD have given employees 5 consecutive years of across the board compensation increases totaling over $150 million dollars. Why would a District do that if it is projecting deficit spending for the next few years?

Active Bill - In Committee Process On 6-27-18 Read second time and amended. Re-referred to Com. on APPR.

CUSDWatch Comment

The Problem is with the OPT OUT.

“Comprehensive sexual health education” means education regarding human development and sexuality, including education onpregnancy, contraception, and sexually transmitted infections(Education Code §51931)"

These "subjects" can be opted out of by parents: Pregnancy,Contraception and STIs.
However, when you embed "sexual instruction" into "gender studies" parents can not OPT OUT.
In addition to health; sexual instruction under the title of gender studies is being embedded into classes like science and history, making parental control over the discussion of topics that many feel are not medically accurate or age appropriate almost impossible to invoke.

Oral Communications from the June 20, 2018 CUSD BOT Meeting

Board Audio at 19:00 Susan McCabe mother of 4 CUSD students. She expressed grave concerns over Teen Talk curriculum. Not medically accurate or age appropriate. Example- teaching that anal sex will reduce STD's. Teaching students about dental dams.

Board Audio at 22:20 Michelle McNutt Nurse and "progressive sex positive parent" who sits on the Sex Education Task Force Team. Advocate for Teen Talk. A handful of Task Force members wanted to rewrite curricula to include abstinence only until hetrosexual marriage lessons. This new curriculum is called SRA "Sexual Risk Avoidance". SRA lessons are illegal in the State of California. Was oppose to Pragger U video called "Gender Identity, Why all the Confusion?" Concerned about the legitimacy of the task force. These members are not here in good faith. Please do not let the personal beliefs of a fear mongering groups derail efforts to implement CHYA (California Healthy Youth Act)

Board Audio at 26:25 Dr Amy Wickstrom Child Therapist and mother of 5 small children. Greatful for the task force. Written two different sex ed curriculum and she has worked in Africa Dominican Republic and Hatti. Research supports that abstinence is the a good choice for adolescents. She is a Christian and supports Christian values.

Board Audio at 28:06 (Name not audible) Children's brains are not fully developed until age 25. She does not feel children in public school should not be exposed to what is essentially soft porn in the classroom at such early ages. Parents must be empowered to protect their children and make the decision as to what is age appropriate content.
