That the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles (1) hereby declare that all management, confidential, and other unrepresented certificated, classified and unclassified employees' salaries, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment are declared indefinite for the 2003-2004 school year as a result of financial uncertainties, negotiations, legislation, and other factors, and (2) suspend or amend all Board Rules, policies, and practices as applicable that may be in conflict with actions taken to balance the District's budget.

Due to the fiscal crisis in the State at this time, the District has to make reductions to the General Fund budget to eliminate a $400 million gap between expected income and expenditures. The District faces tremendous uncertainty with regard to its financial condition for 2003-2004. Also, the State has yet to finalize its budget, which has a direct effect on our operating income. Further, it will be some weeks until our books are closed and our ending balances determined. The current fiscal crisis and uncertainties, combined with the potential impact of pending legal actions, make it financially prudent to provide the Board with appropriate options to protect the District and the students we serve. Therefore, the following motion is presented to comply with the technical requirements of the law with regard to flexibility in next year's budget and expenditure:

The Board of Education, pursuant to Article XXXII, Section 4.0 of the 2000-2003 Agreement between the Los Angeles Unified School District (District) and United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), pursuant to the 2000-2003 Agreement between the District and Associated Administrators of Los Angeles (AALA), and in accordance with the individual employment contracts of these and other District employees, hereby declares salaries and benefits for 2003-2004 for District employees to be indefinite and to be subject to change or reduction on or after July 1, 2003, as may appropriately result from collective bargaining negotiations or otherwise. The District shall act to implement such changes or reductions, as the District deems necessary, in light of financial or other uncertainties, to help balance the District's budget. These financial constraints and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the adequacy of State funding, District operating costs, and pending legal actions.

Possible changes or reductions in salaries or benefits which may be implemented in 2003-2004 for UTLA-represented employees, AALA-represented employees, management, confidential, supervisory, and other District-represented employees include, but are not limited to:

2. Revisions to work year (number of paid days).

3. Elimination/Reduction of Staff Development Buy Back Days.

4. Adjustment to health and welfare plan benefit levels, contribution levels, eligibility rules, changes in deductibles, co-pays or other cost sharing.

All such changes or reductions are to result from collective bargaining where appropriate, and all Board Rules, policies and practices are subject to revision to carry out any of the changes or reductions described above. The above actions are listed by way of example, not limitations, and may be supplemented.

Ms. Korenstein requested to separate the two motions.

Mr. Tom Killeen, Administrator of the Personnel Services and Research Branch, and Mr. Kwalwasser responded to questions by Board Members.

On roll call, the motion regarding "Declaring Salaries Indefinite and Suspending Board Rules, Policies, and Practices" was adopted, 5 ayes. Ms. Hayes and Mr. Huizar were absent.

The motion regarding the "Pre-July 1 Notice for Adjustments to Salary, Revision to Work Year, Change of Staff Development Days, and Adjustments to Health and Welfare Plan Benefits" was postponed until the Special Board Meeting on June 3, 2003.

Ms. Arlene Inouye representing United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA)

Ms. Marcy Winograd representing UTLA

Ms. Hayes' motion regarding Anti-War or Pro-War Attire (Noticed April 8, 2003) was postponed to the Regular Meeting on June 10, 2003;

Whereas, The exigencies of the war have been the subject of intellectual debate in communities and classrooms throughout the world;

Whereas, Open and balanced debate about the implications of the war are consistent with the Los Angeles Unified School District's standards-based curriculum insofar as it provides a foundation for instruction on the ideals of democratic citizenship and freedom of speech;

Whereas, Teachers, aides and administrators should be allowed to express their views on the war freely within the context of a democratic society;

Whereas, The wearing of attire or apparel that espouses a position on the war exemplifies free expression, debate and political engagement and is protected under the Constitution;

Whereas, The Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles acknowledges the need for teachers and other District employees to dress in a manner that is respectful of the educational climate in our schools and to exhibit professional conduct when engaging students in discussion of complex global issues; and

Whereas, The District's policy prohibiting the wearing of pro or antiwar attire or apparel by school employees is an anti-democratic gesture in a war climate in which equal access to democratic freedoms should be cherished; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles support the right of free political expression of all its employees and students on the war and oppose the abridgement of civil liberties elaborated in the District's March 20th memorandum prohibiting the "Wearing of Anti-War or Pro War Attire or Apparel by Teachers, Aides and Administrators in the Classroom"; and be it

Resolved further, That the District rescind recommendations for employee reprisal that are outlined in the March 20 memorandum; and be it finally

Resolved, That the District immediately notify local district administrators about this rescission and conduct an investigation into the censuring of any and all employees that has occurred pursuant to the March 20 directive. º

Resolved, That Board Rule 75 be established with the following language:

Board Member originated motions and resolutions may have more than one sponsor but are limited by the Open Meeting Laws to having less than a quorum discuss a motion or resolution by any means outside of a properly noticed meeting.

Less than a quorum of sponsors of any motion or resolution can be listed as cosponsors when the motion or resolution is first presented to the Board Secretariat or added as cosponsors by notification from the originating Board Member and the verification of the added cosponsor. Cosponsorship can also be listed by the request of a Board Member when the motion or resolution is discussed at a properly noticed meeting and, in this case, the number of cosponsors can exceed a quorum.º

Whereas, In February of 2002, the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles mandated that all Concept 6 schools be moved to a 180-day calendar because it provides more instructional days and thus represents the most optimal learning environment for students if adopted appropriately;

Whereas, Documentary evidence from local schools in District 1 indicates that in requiring all Concept 6 elementary schools to convert to a 180-day calendar for the 2003-04 school year the District did not thoroughly study and consider the operational and instructional implications of said conversion on each respective school;

Whereas, The District's prospective conversion of Concept 6 elementary schools in School Board District 1 to the 90/30 four-track 180 day schedule will have an array of unintended consequences vis à-vis these campuses' capacity to accommodate additional students; classroom assignment of credentialed teachers; the quality of instruction; the availability of classroom and bathroom space; parent coordination of family life; lunch time schedules and student retention;

Whereas, These unintended consequences will affect high poverty schools that are predominantly composed of students of color whose achievement is greatly compromised by the academic and social burden of year-round schedules; and

Whereas, These unintended consequences could potentially have an adverse effect upon the academic performance of students at these schools, and thus reverse the gradual performance gains that they have made under the Concept 6 calendar: now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Superintendent direct staff to do an exhaustive study of the potential impact of the adoption of the 90/30 calendar at District 1 schools, focusing on campus capacity, staffing, instruction, facilities, classroom availability, parent coordination; and be it

Resolved further, That the District suspend its planned July 1 conversion of District 1 elementary schools to the 90/30 calendar if the findings of this study reveal that the operational and instructional disparities that would result from the adoption of this calendar cannot be substantially rectified. º

Whereas, The Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles successfully passed the Measure K New School Construction and Modernization Bond in November of 2002;

Whereas, $128 million was originally set aside for Board Member "leveling" purposes to offset the imbalance of new school construction funds allocated to particular Board Member Districts and create "equity" in the distribution of bond funds among the seven Districts;

Whereas, At the request of staff, the Board set aside $20 million of these leveling funds towards the compliance of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Chanda Smith Consent Decree;

Whereas, The Measure K Leveling Funds now has $108 million in funding available for distribution to Board Districts for modernization, rehabilitation and repair of existing facilities;

Whereas, Proposition BB had a similar funding stream called the Proposition BB/Board Member Matching Grant Program, which was designed specifically to address Board Determined Needs in each of the seven Board Districts;

Whereas, This funding stream was distributed among Board Members based on the number of K-12 students enrolled in each Board District in an effort to offset the impacts placed on larger districts with higher enrollments;

Whereas, Subsequent to the passage of Measure K, the Board passed the Measure K Repair and Modernization Outreach Plan which outlined the school outreach program for the creation of an Integrated Priority Repair and Modernization List for each local district, including the identification of projects that can be matched with State Modernization Funds; and

Whereas, Each of the eleven local districts are currently compiling their priority lists by conducting outreach with school principals, staffs and stakeholders, and subsequent to that outreach, staff will have identified priority repairs and modernization projects in each of their respective local districts;

Whereas, The Board has committed itself, with the passage of both the Measure K Bond and the Measure K Execution Plan, to address the priority needs of each local district and their respective schools, based upon the Integrated Priority Repair and Modernization Lists, utilizing both Measure K Local District Modernization and Board District Leveling Funds; now, therefore. be it

Resolved, That the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles, remaining consistent with the spirit of previous Board policy in this area, will distribute Measure K Leveling Funds based on 2002 K-12 enrollment in each Board District and will only be utilized to fund projects listed in the Integrated Priority Repair and Modernization List, to be approved by the Board; and be it

Resolved further, That Board asks the Superintendent to instruct his staff to continue the Measure K Repair and Modernization Outreach Plan and create eleven independent priority lists based on that outreach, rank those projects by level of urgency and need, include the representative Board Member or designee, Local District Superintendent and the Local District Facilities Director in the decision-making process of ranking and allocating funds for the priority projects, fund the projects as Board Member Priority Repair and Modernization Projects, and with the combination of Local District Repair and Modernization Funds, plan for the utilization of these funds for projects named only in the Integrated Priority Repair and Modernization List.

Before action is taken on the Report of Correspondence regarding correspondence from Jack O'Connell State Superintendent of Public Instruction, concerning receipt of a notification of non compliance, Compliance Investigation Case No. S-0 559-02/03, a public hearing must be held.

This constitutes a public hearing and those individuals who wish to address the Board on this item will be heard. Speakers should go to the recording booth and fill out a card. Those individuals will be heard after any speakers already on the list.

Mr. Lansing moved that the recommended disposition of the items of correspondence as indicated
in the report be approved. Mr. Tokofsky seconded the motion, which by general consent was adopted.
