STUDENT INPUT
Student Member Adriana

school who challenge and help students grow. She mentioned that there are several campus clubs, and that
there is good student involvement.

School, and that some teachers must travel from class to class and have 40 or
more students in their classes.
Other concerns included the long lines during nutrition and lunch time
as well as the lack of sufficient AP Classes, which limit studentsÕ educational
opportunities and force them to attend junior colleges. Safety was another one of her concerns
as she stated that there is only one nurse for the whole school and not enough
personnel to assist her in case of an emergency. She concluded by requesting additional bungalows for her
school.

BOARD MEMBERS MOTIONS
ACTION
Ms. Canter moved Ms.
Korenstein and Mr. LauritzenÕs motion regarding Measure R Funding of Remaining
Air Conditioning Projects for Year-Round Schools (Noticed September 14,
2004):
Whereas, The Los Angeles
Unified School District modernization program has, for the past five years,
included an effort to air condition the gymnasiums and auditoriums of
year-round schools, funded by Certificates of Participation (COPs);
Whereas, Most of the
projects that were completed or are currently under construction, some higher
costs than projected 3-5 years ago, and that some schools have been added to
the year-round schoolsÕ list since the programÕs inception;
Whereas, There is not
sufficient COPs funding to complete the remaining 35 unfunded projects and 7
recently added projects to air condition gymnasiums and auditoriums at
year-round schools;
Whereas, These 42
39 unfunded projects will require a budget of an additional $30 $28
million to complete;
Whereas, The issuance of
additional COPs at this time to fund these remaining projects would further
burden the general fund budget of the District; and
Whereas, Measure R was
passed by the voters on March 2, 2004, and provides approximately $300 million
for new major repair projects; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That
the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles hereby amends the Existing
Facilities Strategic Execution Plan to provide Measure R funding, in the amount
of $30 $28 million, to complete the 42 39 remaining
projects listed, to provide air conditioning for gymnasiums and auditoriums at
year-round schools;
Resolved further,
That the Board of Education directs Facilities staff to identify schools with
routinely malfunctioning air conditioning and heating systems (HVAC) or systems
beyond their useful lives impacting classrooms and main offices, beginning with
schools on year-round calendars; and be it finally
Resolved, That
staff incorporate these projects into the Measure R existing Facilities
Strategic Execution Plan, and bring a plan forward for the Board to review at
the January Facilities committee meeting.
Ms. Korenstein seconded
the motion.
Mr. Jim Delker, Acting
Deputy Chief Facilities Executive, Existing Facilities, and Mr. Reed responded
to questions from Board Members.
Following discussion and
by general consent the motion was adopted. Mr. Huizar was absent.
- - - -
Vice President Canter passed gavel to Mr.
Lansing and left the meeting.
- - - -
Mr. Lansing, Mr.
Tokofsky, and Ms. LaMotteÕs motion regarding Structural Budget Deficit Action
Plan was postponed:
Whereas, The
Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles
have implemented one-time budget solutions amounting to nearly $1.3 billion
over the last two years in order to balance its fiscal year budget;
Whereas, One-time
solutions such as elimination of unfilled positions and redirection of funding
have run their course and will not be an option for the Board in fiscal year
2005-06;
Whereas, The Los Angeles
Unified School District faces an impending structural deficit conservatively
estimated to be $500,000,000, due to anticipated costs of health benefits,
deferred maintenance, workersÕ compensation and reserves related to economic uncertainties,
emergencies, paid leave/vacation time and replacement of aging equipment; and
Whereas, The
Superintendent and the Board must address this structural deficit immediately
to ensure greater flexibility in drafting short and long term fiscal solutions
as well as to avoid the real potential of becoming insolvent and going into
receivership; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That
the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles directs the Superintendent of
Schools to develop short and long term fiscal solutions to the DistrictÕs
ongoing structural deficit for presentation to the Board at a Committee of the
Whole meeting in December 2004; and be it
Resolved further,
That such solutions include a range of potential actions the Board may take to
address the structural imbalance in the short and long term.
Ms. LaMotte and Mr.
TokofskyÕs motion regarding Adherence to the Promotional Examination Process
(Noticed September 28, 2004) was postponed and assigned to the Human Resources
Committee:
Resolved, That
the Los Angeles Unified School District implement and utilize a merit based
promotional examination system for all certificated promotional administrative
classifications with five or more positions, and who are members of the
Associated Administrators of Los Angeles;
Resolved
further,That any circumvention of this motion by means of Administrative
Regulations 4213 and 4214 receive approval by the majority of the Board of
Education of the City of Los Angeles;
Resolved further,
That the Board directs the Superintendent to bring back within 60 days a
proposal for an examination process, which would include:
¥ An assessment center
¥ Confidential tracers
¥ A ranked list
incorporating a rule of five
¥ A process by which
qualified candidates on an existing list would be integrated into newly
established lists; and be it finally
Resolved,
That if this proposal is not acceptable, the Superintendent must submit a
proposal to the Board to eliminate all promotional examinations and allow local
and general superintendents to make all administrative assignments.
Ms. LaMotte and Mr.
TokofskyÕs motion regarding Promotion and Transfer of Principals and Teachers
(Noticed September 28, 2004) was postponed and assigned to the Human Resources
Committee:
Whereas, There has been
no policy directing the promotion and transfer of principals and teachers from
low performing schools (API 1-3) to central district positions after school has
officially opened at the beginning of the school year;
Whereas, One of the
goals of this District is to eliminate the achievement gap;
Whereas, Removing
teachers and principals for promotions once school has begun disrupts the
teaching-learning process for the school and adversely affects the academic
performance and achievement level of the school;
Whereas, Long-range
planning is imperative in effectively operating our schools; and
Whereas, If a waiver is
granted, the assigned principal will not leave the school until a permanent
principal has been assigned; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That assignments,
which require the transfer of a principal or teacher, must be made prior to the
opening of school to minimize disruption to the schoolÕs learning environment;
and be it
Resolved further,
That this motion may be waived only after an exhaustive search has been done
for personnel whose transfer would not negatively impact the instructional or
operational environment of the school.
Waivers must be approved by the local district and general
superintendents and a school-community meeting hosted by the local district
must be called to communicate the proposed change.
INITIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Mr. Lauritzen and Mr.
Tokofsky noticed their intention to present a motion regarding Deferred
District PHBAO Schools:
Whereas, Funding for
Targeted Instructional Improvement Grant (TIIG) is the court-ordered

racial isolation;
Whereas, Calahan
Elementary School, Lorne Elementary School, Mayall Elementary School, Plainview
Elementary School, Holmes Middle School, and Lawrence Middle School have
qualified as PHBAO schools, but received no PHBAO resources; and
Whereas, New schools
opening this year are receiving PHBAO resources; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That
the Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles directs the Superintendent to
fund the six schools that have qualified as PHBAO schools, and provide all TIIG
resources that are allocated for PHBAO schools for fiscal year 2004-2005.
