TO: Board of Education FROM: Glenn “Max” McGee, Ph.D. RE: Quarterly Goals Update DATE: June 14, 2015 The Board met in its annual retreat on August 12 and 13, 2014, to discuss its goals for the 2014-15 academic year and approved the goals on August 26, 2014. At that time the Board also reached consensus on the wording for the measures and deliverables for each goal. Using the template discussed last November, presented in December, and updated in March, this report lists each measure and deliverable followed by a sentence or two indicating the progress in completing the task. Green shading means the measure or deliverable is complete, no shading means we are on schedule for completion, yellow means we are bit behind but we will catch up, and red means we will not be able to provide the measure or deliverable. Back up materials are available at the request of Board members. 1. To prepare students for a future that necessitates global collaboration and competition,

cultivate support for a district-wide culture that expects, advances, inspires, and promotes academic excellence, hard work, active engagement, and perseverance for every student. (Aligns with Strategic Plan Goal Area A.)

Measures, Deliverables, and Leader

a) Revised District website that reflects district vision, mission, goals, and values.* (Chief Technology Officer—CTO) 12/9 Phase I of the project is complete, which included the wireframes and information architecture (site map). These two items are the blueprint for the site. We are currently in the process of looking for firms to contract with for phase II, which includes the construction of the site as well as the migration of existing content into the new site. 3/1 Update: We have selected Trellon, LLC as the vendor for Phase II of this project, which includes launching the new district website in July. Some examples of their work that impressed us included http://goglobal.stanford.edu and http://admissions.cornell.edu/. We will be presenting initial prototypes and mock-ups at the March 24 board meeting to gather additional input and comments from the board and public.

OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

6/12 Update: Steady progress continues to be made as we march toward the launch of the new site at the end of July. Thank you to the 311 viewers/participants in our online survey at the end of April. As part of the project, we will be incorporating the talents of several student interns in July to assist in our migration and verification of content. Additional mock ups are available for viewing at this link (http://goo.gl/mWKFW0).

b) Establishment of baseline data from existing Strategic Plan survey questions and from

adding questions to staff, parent, and student surveys specifically designed for this goal. (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 Will start when new Director is employed. We have shared sample student and parent survey questions with the administrators and with the PAEA bargaining team. 3/1 Update: Dr. Young and Mr. Kolar will be designing the questions to add on to the Strategic Plan Survey and/or a larger scale parent survey related to Board goals. 6/12 Update: Mr Kolar will be closing the parent and survesy this week, at this time the response rate for parents is 22% higher than in 2014 and we have over 600 student responses. The student survey remained open through Firday, and students who have not participated are being solicited for their responses when they are checking grades in Infinite Campus.

c) “Student and Staff Success” reports to the Board which show balance among academics, arts, service, and athletics. (Communications Coordinator) 12/9 We are in the process of developing a system to get the news to Tabitha. Thus far, the slide shows for the Superintendent’s Report have reflected a balance, but we have not received enough examples of student and staff success for our monthly reports that we had planned to obtain by this date. 3/1 Update: Student recognition at the meetings and in the packet have reflected this balance. We are still seeking more examples from elementary schools.

6/12 Update: We have brought together the arts, athletics and academics in the recognitions during the Superintendent’s Report as well as in the Staff and Student Success page of the Board packet.

d) “Face to Face” recognition at Board meetings of students, individuals, and teams that compete and excel in state, national, and international competitions. (Principals) 12/9 We are off to a slow start, but we have started. With the fall math contests and fall sports state tournaments ahead, we should have more opportunities in the next quarter.

2

3/1 Update: It has been inspiring to hear from our students whom we have recognized regularly at Board meetings. 6/12 Update: It continues to be inspirational to hear about the many different ways that our students achieve in the areas where they have talent and passion at the Board meetings

e) Staff develops, presents, and pilots a system for compiling, analyzing, and reporting achievement data from receiving schools to sending schools (e.g. the three middle schools to the twelve elementary schools). (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 We have not yet hired a Director yet; however, we have asked candidates for the position how they would accomplish this task. Once an individual is hired, we will get to work on this goal. 3/1 Update: Mr. Kolar has been in the District about ten days and hit the ground running. Given some immediate demands regarding qualitative and quantitative data support for the MATD Advisory Committee, this item is currently on the “to do” list. 6/12 Update: The district will be piloting the “Schoolzilla” student data reporting system in 2015-16. This system will support principals and learning communities across the district, it will be the means by which SBAC results are used internally. The Research Department is currently making professional development plans for the end of the summer and will collaborate with the TOSAs on programming.

f) Revised 2015-16 SPSA Plan format to show alignment of school goals with District vision, goals, and the Strategic Plan. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 12/9 Dr. Young is making progress in this regard, meeting with each Board member to solicit input. Have discussed with middle school principals and will do so with elementary school principals after they present their SPSA’s to the Board. 3/1 Update: Most Board members (including former members Barb Mitchell and Dana Tom), shared their feedback with either Dr. Young or Ms. Harris. The Ed. Services team is processing the input and will share with and solicit feedback from principals, using this information to make modifications to the SPSA format. These changes will be shared with the Board at the next scheduled update. 6/12 Update: Barbara Harris met with all Board members and based on the feedback, will add an executive summary sheet that spotlights key goals and objectives for each plan. Next year’s plans will contain more student achievement data than last year including SBAC, beginning and end of year math data, DRA data, and writing data.

g) Completed action plan to assure “equity of preparation, access, and support” for historically underserved students, which includes an analysis of current data regarding student achievement and placements, a professional development component, and a strategy for faculty recruitment. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services)

12/9 I am selecting members for the Minority Achievement and Talent Development Advisory Committee. Because of the volume of applications and the tragic death of a Gunn student, we moved the first meeting back to 12/2, but provided important background reading. 3/1 Update: This goal has become the Superintendent’s responsibility and regular updates have been provided in the Superintendent’s report at Board meetings. The amount of work and the quality of work the Advisory Committee has completed during and between meetings has given the team a thorough understanding of the major problems under-represented and under-resourced students face as well as the root causes of these problems. During the next three meetings, the team will focus on solutions and recommendations. 6/12 Update: This goal was completed with the delivery of the report to the Board in May. We are currently incorporating some of the recommendations into our 2015-16 budget.

2. Create conditions that assure consistent high quality and fairness in curriculum,

instruction, and assessment while affording individual schools autonomy to design, develop, implement, and evaluate innovative practices and programs aligned with the District’s Strategic Plan. (Aligns with Strategic Plan Goal Area E, initiatives E2 and E3.)

Measures, Deliverables, and Leader

a) Submission of a written analysis of Strategic Plan Survey questions and additional questions regarding innovation, if needed, to evaluate the extent to which Board policies and administrative regulations are implemented with fidelity both vertically and horizontally throughout the District. (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 The Director of Research and Evaluation will be working on this task once the Survey is administered and the individual is hired. 3/1 Update: Because we did not hire a Director until late February, work on this deliverable is behind schedule and probably will not be completed until the summer or next fall.

6/12 Update: Questions regarding innovation were added to the student and parent surveys. Analysis will be completed this month.

b) Analysis of school-level survey questions regarding innovation design, delivery, and innovations (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 The Director of Research and Evaluation will be working on this task once the Survey is administered and the individual is hired. 3/1 Update: Smita Kolhatkar completed a thorough evaluation of the Barron Park Maker’s Studio. Her work is a model for evaluating other innovative programs and practices. She and Mr. Kolar will be working with the principals on evaluating innovations. 6/12 Update: Questions regarding innovation were added to the student and parent Strategic Plans Surveys, and analysis of them will be completed this week.

c) Schools feature innovative programs on school web pages and internal publications.* (Communications Coordinator CTO) 12/9 This has not been systemically addressed. 3/1 Update: We will be addressing this systemically as part of Phase II of the web design project. Some innovations are being noted on some websites and some e-news on an episodic basis.

6/12 Update: We improved in this area as principals were required to bring and share their success stories (when asked) more regularly at the K-12 meetings. The website redesign team has considered the need for a spot on each school’s page that can highlight their

5

accomplishments and will be wrapping it into the design and communications as sites roll out in the future. The CTO and web team will be incorporating this deliverable into their plans.

d) Website templates for home pages enable schools to illustrate individual messages while maintaining a common “look and feel” as well as using specific language from the District’s Mission and Vision statements.* (CTO) 12/9 These templates will be included in phase II of the district website project, as it's largely dependent upon the successful execution of district website update. Once the templates are complete, the process will begin to apply the templates to our school websites and mold the existing information into the new templates. 3/1 Update: There is currently no status change, as this deliverable directly relates to the delivery of the district website, including the template. 6/12 Update: The template development process is also on track to be delivered by the end of July. The first “site” we will use the template with is the school construction/bond website, as it will be launching shortly after the main district website at the end of July. In addition, Palo Verde and Briones will start the new year with refreshed websites.

e) Preparation of written proposal for external review of selected programs to assess their efficacy. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 12/9 We have received a research framework from Hanover Research which Dr. Young and I have approved. Dr. Young will receive their cost proposal for the K-12 World Language program evaluation this month. 3/1 Update: The focus of this world language feasibility study is well underway. The survey instrument, that will be given to staff, students and parents, is ready to be administered with the goal of completing this process by the end of March. We are working with Hanover Research to organize focus groups as part of the data collection process. 6/12 Update: The world language feasibility study data has been collected and compiled. The report will be completed by 7/6/15, and the Board will receive a report on the study for their August workshop. Mr. Kolar will work with Hanover to prepare a Board presentation to be made in open session in the fall.

f) Present and pilot a system for internally evaluating the impact of hybrid classes, new programs, and practices on teaching and learning. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 12/9 We have received a research framework from Hanover Research which Dr. Young and I are currently analyzing. After we submit recommended revisions to Hanover, Dr.

6

Young will obtain their cost proposal for evaluating the impact of hybrid classes. We expect to have this evaluation proposal ready for approval in December. 3/1 Update: After further analysis regarding the scope of the alignment and world language feasibility studies, we will be utilizing internal data gathering tools, rather than work with Hanover at this time, to evaluate the effectiveness of our hybrid classes. The goal is to gather and evaluate the data by the end of this school year. 6/12 Update: This item needs to be picked-up in the fall as we were not able to complete it by the end of this school year. Mr. Kolar was new to his position and will be able to provide needed guidance with this evaluation process.

g) Present report on parent and staff responses to newly implemented elementary report card. (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 The Director for Elementary Instruction has worked diligently with the tech leads, support staff and principals to assure that the new Progress Reports will be completed on time, with fidelity and distributed seamlessly. The evaluation of them will not take place until the spring. 3/1 Update: We have collected survey data from the first semester and plan on collecting additional information at the end of the academic year. 6/12 Update: The data have been collected from teachers and parents. Ms. Harris completing the analysis, and results will be available at the end of June.

h) Analyze and report on course consistency within and between high schools regarding grading practices, homework policies, expectations, and summative assessments. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 12/9 We have received a research framework from Hanover Research which Dr. Young and I have approved. Dr. Young will receive their cost proposal for their work this month, and we will roll out the plan to the principals, instructional supervisors and councils, etc. in November, December and January. We expect the data to be gathered in the third quarter and analysis completed by the fourth quarter. 3/1 Update: Like the World Language feasibility study, the survey instrument is ready to be administered, the focus group process being organized and course documents collected and sent to Hanover for review. Recent events at the high schools have slowed our progressess a bit with both projects, but we are working hard to finish by spring so we can utilize information from both studies to establish goals and actions for the 14-15 school year. 6/12 Update: The high school alignment study data have been collected and compiled, and are being analyzed. We have received some of the data in tabular form, and the full report with the analysis will be completed by 7/6/16. The Board will receive a report on the study

7

in advance of the August workshop. Mr. Kolar will work with Hanover to prepare a Board presentation to be made in open session in the fall.

i) Presentation of a staffing plan aligned with District Vision, Mission, Goals, and the Strategic Plan. (Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources) 12/9 We are compiling our lists with the rationale on an ongoing basis and will be prepared to present recommendations in time for the second interim budget report. 3/1 Update: We will be ready to present this item at the March 24th Board meeting. Additional staffing related to the MATD Advisory Committee recommendations may be requested in late May. We are eager to bring forward current recommendations in order to post positions during the prime hiring season. 6/12 Update: Staffing plans have been presented to the Board and are being incorporated into the budget that will be presented for approval on 6/23/16. The report showed how new positions were aligned with Strategic Plan Initiatives.

8

3. To provide all students the highest quality learning environment in every District school,

assure that all certificated and classified staff are continuously engaged in Professional Learning that is aligned with specific, strategic school improvement goals that are tied directly to the District Strategic Plan. (Aligns with Strategic Plan Goal Area C)

Measures, Deliverables, and Leader

a) Analysis of fidelity in faculty completion of “My Learning Plan.” (Coordinator of Professional Learning) 12/9 Dr. Bikle has trained principals and staff in the use of My Learning Plan and it is being used widely and as intended. A report and analysis will be forthcoming in the spring.

3/1 Update: Dr. Bikle and Dr. Young updated the Board of Education on My Learning Plan in February. The report included an overview of the software and usage to date. Since that report we have activated additional features in My Learning Plan including a common feedback and evaluation survey attached to all PAUSD workshops as well as customized evaluation surveys for workshops that address key district initiatives (i.e. Professional Learning Communities, K-5 Writing). In addition, we have begun to pilot the “Team Room” feature to increase collaboration and ongoing learning for participants.

6/12 Update: Currently we have a lot of activity on My Learning Plan as teachers are seeking pre-approval for summer professional learning activities. Teachers are using the system to request approval to use the hours for units for salary advancement, and for the professional learning stipend. We have eliminated the paper forms and created one process simplify the process for teachers. Over the summer we will update the forms based on teacher feedback and complete an analysis of the first year.

b) Survey of participants in Columbia Teachers’ College Writing Workshop. (Coordinator of Professional Learning) 12/9 This was completed and some results were shared with the Board. Data is being used to guide development of further work this next spring.

3/1 Update: We have contracted with Teachers College to provide summer workshops to K-5 teachers in two areas. We will offer an Advanced Writing Institute focused on informational writing (a key genre in the Common Core State Standards). This is the first time Teachers College has offered an Advanced Institute and offers us the opportunity to continue to focus on the complexities of teaching writing. We will also offer a smaller Reading Institute. The Reading Institute is open to teachers who have a good understanding of writing workshop and are ready to begin work in a new area. Attendees will work closely with TOSAs to grow their skills next year and to serve as teacher leaders at their sites in the area of reading.

6/12 Update: Currently, plans are underway to consider options for sustaining the writing work. We will provide training to our new teachers and those returning from leave. We will also consider how we can leverage TOSA expertise and our project school sites to continue to develop the skills of all teachers in this area.

c) Report on analysis of Teacher’s College writing assessment and rubrics and middle school

writing assessment. (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 The writing assessments are being collected and shared, but analysis will not be completed until the Director is hired. 3/1 Update: The district wide writing assessment process is proceeding on schedule as planned and results should be ready to share in the spring. 6/12 Update: Faculty completed scoring the writing assessment on June 5th. The Research Department is now working with the TOSAs on compiling, analyzing and synthesizing the information to prepare the evaluation report to be delivered in late June.

d) Develop baseline of “Professional Learning Community” (PLC) activities at school sites and perceived value of participants on teaching and learning. (Coordinator of Professional Learning) 12/9 Dr. Bikle completed this deliverable and submitted the data to me. There are beginnings of PLC work in most schools and broad evidence of staff support for moving forward with more well-designed, systemic PLC work. 3/1 Update: In January, principals had the opportunity to dive into school and district level data to understand the perception of Professional Learning Communities at their sites. We have utilized the data to plan professional learning activities for principals at each K-12 Leadership meeting and also to share with Austin Buffum, our consultant, who will join us in March for another full day workshop. 6/12 Update: At our last K-12 leadership meeting Dr. Bikle presented and received feedback on a draft plan for district-level support plan for PLC work based on the principals’ analysis. The plan includes a focus on strengthening collaboration; providing professional learning opportunities in strategic areas; supporting administrators to deepen knowledge; and supporting site implementation.

e) Summary of faculty and staff reflections on how Austin Buffum’s professional development presentations have specifically improved teaching and learning. (Coordinator of Professional Learning) 12/9 Dr. Bikel and Dr. Young have collected the reflections and will be following up later in the year to see if his professional development work with teams from each school led to changes in teaching practices. 3/1 Update: We are completing the design of our reflection tool to capture the outcomes of our two days with Austin Buffum (workshops are March 4 and 5). We will have the results of this year’s work analyzed and ready to share in early April. 6/12 Update: In March principals reviewed the outcomes data from the work with Austin Buffum. They identified key areas of strength and need and made recommendations from next steps. Dr. Bikle worked with this analysis to create the PLC plan mentioned above.

f) Final report to Board that provides evidence that District’s Professional Learning:

(Coordinator of Professional Learning) • focuses on student learning goals and outcomes based on data; • strengthens content knowledge and instructional strategies to meet the needs of all

students; • is collaborative and fosters a sense of collective responsibility focused on improved

student performance, PK-12; • is ongoing and embedded in our daily work, with an emphasis on inquiry and reflection

to improve practice; • is regularly evaluated to ensure experiences are high-quality, research-based, and

effective in meeting intended goals and are aligned with site and District goals. 12/9 This will be a capstone report. Data is currently being collected throughout the system. 3/1 Update: focuses on student learning goals and outcomes based on data; Elementary: We are continuing our focus on K-5 writing as a result of Strategic Plan survey data and Board interest. Additionally, we will begin to expand to reading in the next few years. Plans are also underway to expand our support for NGSS, STEM and Mathematics professional development. Secondary: We are working to expand the available offerings to secondary teachers beginning this summer. Katherine Baker and Kelly Bikle surveyed secondary teachers to identify topics of interest. Topics were identified from WASC reports and site goals. strengthens content knowledge and instructional strategies to meet the needs of all students; Elementary: Teachers’ College provides a balance of content knowledge (teacher analyzing their own writing and studying writing development), with instructional strategies mini-lessons, small group and conference strategies). This summer we are considering options for workshops in mathematics that balances teacher content knowledge with instructional strategies to support all learners. In science inquiry groups have spent time over the year studying the NGSS standards; building their own content knowledge; and participating in lesson design and hands-on activities. Secondary teachers have focused much of their efforts on better understanding instructional approaches to CCSS/NGSS. This focus represents a shift from previous years where teachers delved deeply into the content of the standards and to ensuring content was taught in the appropriate course or grade. This year the professional learning has focused on instructional design (i.e. integrating engineering practices in science; math practice standards). This summer we have plans to offer workshops that draw teachers together across departments to focus on instructional strategies (exact content TBD). is collaborative and fosters a sense of collective responsibility focused on improved student performance, PK-12; We have had a focus on strengthening the collaborative structures and processes at school sites this year. With the support of a consultant (Austin Buffum) we have begun to

11

build a shared knowledge about the power of professional learning communities to support all learners. In addition, the work of TOSAs at the elementary sites has been a tremendous support in this area as they have been able to support sites and grade levels in developing common language and common understandings about writing. is ongoing and embedded in our daily work, with an emphasis on inquiry and reflection to improve practice; See above. In addition, when offering workshops at the district level we have made an effort to step away from the one-time workshop. We continue to pilot hybrid designs, to offer workshops in a series, and to combine workshops with coaching. These designs are intended to support teachers in applying what they learn, reflecting on outcomes and developing expertise over time. is regularly evaluated to ensure experiences are high-quality, research-based, and effective in meeting intended goals and are aligned with site and District goals. All district workshops are connected to Strategic Plan goals to ensure they are in alignment with our work. We have recently incorporated a common evaluation survey to better understand the impact our work is having on teacher knowledge. In addition, we design evaluation methods for our larger initiatives, such as new hire orientation, our work with Teachers College in writing, and our work with Austin Buffum around PLCs. We evaluate with the intent to understand participant experience, but also with an eye for continuous improvement and to identify next steps in our initiatives. 6/12 Update: • focuses on student learning goals and outcomes based on data; and • strengthens content knowledge and instructional strategies to meet the needs of all students; Secondary: we have expanded our options for secondary professional learning this summer to include a workshop focused on unit design (Understanding by Design); an online course focused on school climate; a course focused on collaboration (Language of Collaboration). Additionally, we have worked collaboratively with teams of teachers to support professional learning in key areas. For example, the Social Justice Pathway group and the Speech and Language Pathologists submitted proposals that are focused on their goals, and bring their teams together to deepen knowledge. is collaborative and fosters a sense of collective responsibility focused on improved student performance, PK-12; We are offering the Language Of Collaboration workshop this summer to target tools and skills for working together. Additionally, we revised the secondary team-designed project structure to highlight key aspects: collaboration; identifying key teacher learning goals ; and focus on intended impact on student learning. is ongoing and embedded in our daily work, with an emphasis on inquiry and reflection to improve practice; Implementation of PLCs will be a major area of focus next year. We will be providing district level support to teachers and administrators in the area of

12

PLCs as well as in key components that contribute to successful collaboration (using student data; formative assessment; collaboration skills; and PLC bootcamps)

g) Analysis of ERB and Writing Assessment Program results disaggregated by school, grade, and student demographics (e.g. gender, free and reduced lunch, etc.) results. (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 ERB results have not been received and the new Director will begin work on this deliverable when he or she is hired. 3/1 Update: We have ERB results and will be presenting an analysis of them later this spring. 6/12 Update:: The Research Department has been working with the TOSAs, teachers, and principals on the use of ERB test results in light of the adoption of the TC writing progressions and the first SBAC measurements of the district Common Core ELA adoption. An update on the writing program and recommendations will be ready for the 6/23/16 Board meeting.

h) Analysis of Strategic Plan Survey results. (Director of Research and Evaluation) 12/9 This will be completed by the new director. 3/1 Update: Because we did not hire the Director until ten days ago, we are behind schedule on adding any new questions to the survey. Mr. Kolar will be working with Dr. Young to finalize the Strategic Plan Survey administration. 6/12 Update: Strategic Plan Surveys have been completed and the initial analysis will be presented for use at the leadership retreat in June.

i) Board presentation on Safe and Welcoming Schools metrics including: (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services)

a. Percentage compliance with Board Bullying Prevention Policy BP 5131.2 and Student Conduct Policy BP 5131 and their administrative regulations training;

b. Launch of a Safe and Welcoming School space on the district website; c. Design, development, implementation and evaluation of bullying reporting flow

chart; d. Baseline data on bullying incidents and case disposition; e. Survey results from annual California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) and Palo Alto

Reality Check Survey (PARC); f. Results from relevant questions from Strategic Plan Survey.

13

12/9 We are still waiting for results from PARC (we have them for CHKS) and will be presenting the reports to the Board in January. We Safe and Welcoming School space on the district website is part of the redesign project under Goal 1. 3/1 Update: We have had one Board presentation on this matter and have a second scheduled for our next meeting. In addition, we have discussed matters related to safe and welcoming schools in other forums. 6/12 Update: The Board presentation of this item was givin on March 24: Additional information to add to this update includes the attendance review study completed by Ms. Carrillo. Through Measure A and Board action, new staff have been added to support mental health and wellness.

14

4. Develop clear accountabilities for ensuring implementation of key strategic plan

initiatives. (Aligns with “focused goals” from each of the five Strategic Plan goal areas.) PLEASE NOTE: Because all of these items directly relate to the Strategic Plan and all are in Dr. Young’s domain, I have asked him to prepare a final report. He is currently working on completing it and has assured me it will be finished before June 30th.

Measures, Deliverables, and Leader

a) Board informational report on work plan for focused goals that includes evidence based measures. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 1/27 Much of this work will be included in the LCAP report which will be presented to the Board, along with new goals in the spring.

b) Quarterly updates on work plan. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 1/27 The first one will be presented to the Board on December 9.

c) Administrator’s evaluations include extent to which individuals accountable for specific “focused goals” achieved them. (Associate Superintendent, Educational Services) 1/27 Goal setting conferences are all nearly completed and goals are related to specific accountabilities in Strategic Plan and Focused Goals. 3/1 Update: Mid year reviews were completed. 6/12 Update:: All evaluations are complete.

5. Anticipate, respond, and promptly resolve potentially distracting and disruptive issues

in order to maintain focus on the District’s vision of “developing our students’ knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, deepening their knowledge, and nurturing their curiosity, creativity, and resilience – empowering every child to reach his or her fullest intellectual, social, and creative potential.” (Aligns with Strategic Plan Goal Area E.)

Measures, Deliverables, and Leader

a) Calendars and counts of outreach events such as “second cup of coffee,” special presentations, and the like for leadership team and Board members.* (Communications Coordinator) 12/9 First “second cup” series is completed along with additional coffees for Chinese families, Buena Vista, neighborhood home association leaders, Rotary and the like. Several more special presentations are already scheduled through spring. 3/1 Update: I have continued to be very active and present with numerous presentations including the Women’s Club, Kiwanis, student forums, DreamCatchers, and more.

15

6/12 Update: This past quarter I continued to meet with several groups, some related to Measure A, some for formal presentations, and still others for collecting information during formal and informal forums and even classroom sessions.

b) Creation of a baseline of positive, neutral, and negative media reports related to the District. (Communications Coordinator) 3/1 Update: At the December 9th Board meeting, it was recommended we not continue using this metric. My personal perception is that media coverage has been generally fair, balanced, and accurate. 6/12 Update: By Board request, this measure was dropped. Media coverage continues to be fair, balanced, and mostly accurate. I have only had two occasions to write requesting a correction, and in one other case, I decided that the matter was not significant enough to request a correction.

c) Analysis of response time to Board level correspondence, Open Forum comments, and other sources where stakeholders register complaints. (Communications Coordinator) 3/1 Update: At the December meeting we noted that this was not a problem. One Board member asked if we consider using response to PAR requests as a metric. We can do so if this is the will of the entire Board. 6/12 Update: We are up to date on PAR requests except for the correspondence between cabinet and board. We have posted July, August, and September, and a paralegal is still working on redactions to bring us into full compliance with this standing request.

d) Completed leadership team “360” evaluations. (Superintendent) 12/9 Scott has taken the lead in designing the document base on conversations at Cabinet and Council and examining models used in other districts. 3/1 Update: We will be administering an instrument next month. 6/12 Update: These closed on 6/12 and will be presented to the Board during my evaluation session on 6/22.

e) Design, development, and delivery of a proactive communications plan incorporating multiple media and messengers.* (Communications Coordinator) 12/9 Tabitha has developed and is currently implementing the plan. 3/1 Update: The Social Media aspect of the plan has been drafted as policy and will be returning to the BPRC after Board discussion. 6/12 Update: The revised draft of the Social Media BP and AR have been completed as has a draft of an exhibit with some pieces of technical information for the Board of Education to consider. The staff guidelines have also been drafted based on feedback

16

from a focus group including administrators, teachers, and classified staff members from all grade sections.

f) Design, develop, and implement a means for communicating Board decisions promptly and broadly. (Communications Coordinator) 12/9 We are using “Max Mail” once a month and video “News You Can Use” once a month in addition to press releases when relevant.

3/1 Update: This deliverable is now a part of regular operations. 6/12 Update: We continue to use “Max Mail” and “News You Can Use” each month to communicate regularly to our community. In May, we also produced our own show at the Titan Broadcast Network studio (Gunn HS) with the student PAUSD TV team handling all the technical aspects. This PAUSD TV team has been formed over the last 2 years and provides critical support for communicating PAUSD’s achievements and challenges to our broader community. The team handles the monthly “News You Can Use” broadcasts as well as providing coverage of district and school events such as the Escondido Science Night, and the Sweetheart Awards. The PAUSD TV Team also creates informative and documentary-style videos about various district projects. This year the team created several videos including the new PAUSD Registration Video, Ohlone’s Acts of Kindness Project, and Walter Hays Inclusion Initiatives and a video highlighting the partnership between Adult Education and the Garden Court Hotel.

BACKGROUND The Board of Education currently reviews and approves a list of warrants issued by the District for the previous month. The list of warrants issued is presented to the Board of Education for approval retroactively as a consent item. The same consent agenda process is used for Strong Schools Bond change orders to construction contracts. As is the case with the warrants, the approval is retroactive since the change orders will have already been agreed to with the contractors. This item lists all Strong Schools Bond change orders for the previous month. PROPOSAL It is proposed the Board of Education approve the attached list of change orders. FISCAL IMPACT The total amounts of these change orders for each project is within the 10% change order allowance.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Consent 6 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Cathy Mak, Chief Business Officer SUBJECT: Authorization to Award Contract for Copiers STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget Trends and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education authorize the award of a contract for copiers to Sharp. This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015. BACKGROUND For the last five years we have had Sharp copiers at the elementary sites, Terman Middle School, and the District Office. Our current lease ends June 30, 2015. We have solicited three quotes as follows:

• Sharp $383,456 • ROA $390,467 • Xerox $490,181

The bid prices include the lease amounts and maintenance fees for 19 machines for 4 years. The current cost is $5,222 per machine per year. The cost breakdown is about $5,045 per machine per year for the lowest bid, totaling a savings of $3,363 per year for 19 machines. PROPOSAL Sharp has given us a “Guaranteed Replacement” agreement if any issues are encountered. The “Guaranteed Replacement” clause allows the district to swap to a new or like model with comparable or upgraded features, at the request of the District, before the 4 year lease term is up and if there are any problems. Based on the price, guarantee, and reliability, we propose to award the contract for 19 copiers to Sharp. We have received excellent support and service for the current Sharp copiers. FISCAL IMPACT The annual cost of these copiers is $95,864, to be shared about 50/50 between the Property Fund and the school site discretionary budgets. This is a replacement of the existing copiers; the costs are planned and budgeted for in the Property Fund and the site discretionary budgets. *Costs are based on current usage and may vary due to any usage changes.

This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015. BACKGROUND Palo Alto Educators Association (PAEA) is presenting its initial negotiating proposals for a revised collective bargaining agreement with the Board of Education. Our current agreement with the PAEA is effective through June 30, 2016. Because of our status as a basic aid district, we typically provide initial proposals before the end of the school year and prepare for negotiations in the fall for the current and following year. PAEA’s proposal is attached. Attachment

Teri Baldwin, President Palo Alto Educators Association 650-248-7929 [email protected] June 3, 2015 To: Scott Bowers From: Teri Baldwin Subject: Collective Bargaining Agreement As per Article II of the contract that expires June 30, 2016, PAEA is requesting to meet and negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. The following are Articles that we identify as requiring negotiation: Article VI, Compensation and Benefits – PAEA’s interests include securing a general salary increase which is commensurate with the district’s ability to pay, addressing various issues regarding the application of salary schedule rules and regulations for movement on the schedule and maintaining the current health and welfare benefits. Article XIII, Working Conditions – PAEA’s interest is in modifying the language around special education and general education teacher working conditions. Negotiations on this article began in 2014-15 and we would like to continue the discussions in 2015-16. We anticipate that the District will be able to bring a team to the negotiations table in August to begin addressing the contract. CC: Marc Igler, Jeff Gielow, Mimi Park, Josh Spira

Educators Association STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Staff Development and Recruitment RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Board of Education approve the District openers for negotiations with the Palo Alto Educators Association. This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015 BACKGROUND: The current collective bargaining agreement between the Palo Alto Unified School District and the Palo Alto Educators Association (PAEA) ends on June 30, 2016. The agreement permits each party to reopen two articles of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in addition to the compensation and benefits article, each year of the agreement. The Board and Association are expected to “sunshine” their interests for the upcoming negotiations during the spring. Discussions on contract language and compensation issues generally begin after the County Assessor’s tax revenue projections in August. The agreements made in the fall have then typically applied retroactively to July 1.

In anticipation of these negotiations, the Board of Education proposes to open the articles listed in the table below. Article VI: Compensation and Benefits

Provide compensation that compares favorably within the region, taking into account program priorities, goals, and the District’s ability to pay.

Reconsider and revise elements of the health benefits program. Items to be discussed include health care providers, plan features, and redistributing costs.

Article XIII: Working Conditions

Continue the work begun in 2014-15 on the working conditions pertaining to special education and general education teachers.

The primary areas of focus are prep time, training, and caseloads.

Management STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education authorize staff to enter into a contract with fs3|Hodges in an amount not to exceed $1,062,214 for Bond Program Management. This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015. BACKGROUND Tom Hodges has worked for the District since 2002 as a managing partner with O’Connor Construction Management, as the owner of T.J. Hodges & Associates, and most recently as a partner in the firm of fs3|Hodges. His group has provided management services for the Building for Excellence Bond and now for the Strong Schools Bond. The service provided by Mr. Hodges has been highly satisfactory during his time at the District. PROPOSAL It is proposed the Board of Education authorize staff to enter into a contract with fs3|Hodges to continue providing program management services for the Strong Schools Bond projects. FISCAL IMPACT The fs3|Hodges contract is not to exceed total amount for 2014-2015 of $1,062,214, which is somewhat less than the 2014-15 amount. A spreadsheet showing projected staffing through June 30, 2016, and hourly rates is attached. This is a not to exceed amount, and services in excess of the total amount shown here will not take place without prior Board approval.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Discussion 12 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT DATE: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Ph. D., Superintendent FROM: Katherine Baker, Director, Secondary Education PREPARED BY: Dave Hoshiwara, Secondary Options Coordinator SUBJECT: Renewal of the Transitional Partnership Program (TPP) Contract for 2015-2016 STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Academic Excellence and Learning RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education approve the TPP contract. This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015. BACKGROUND The Transition Partnership Program (TPP) is a cooperative project of the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) and Department of Rehabilitation. Currently TPP is working with over 75 participants. TPP supports our students with career vocational information and experiences to introduce them to the working world. The program helps students in a career search and uses the available vocational education resources for growth and independence on a career track. The program has provided a portion of an instructor, a coordinator, a part-time Transition Specialist, individual job developers, job coaches, and support staff to access vocational resources. Some examples of student participation are: • Community-Based Instructional Training

• Palo Alto Veterans Administration • Higher Education

• Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, Rochester Institute of Technology, Santa Clara University, and Foothill College

• Adult TPP • Continued community job placements through PAUSD Adult Ed • Job development is a continuing process generated by individual teacher/student requests

PROPOSAL Areas of concentration for the 2015-2016 fiscal year continue to be: • Continue expansion to include all eligible students through stronger interface with the

Department of Rehabilitation • Develop and collaborate with community agencies for additional services to students • Refine Adult TPP, currently located at HOPE Services in Mountain View

1

• Pursue dissemination of information to the community regarding program and resources FISCAL IMPACT The District contracts a “3:1 cash/certified time” match with the Department of Rehabilitation, this is the equivalent of a matching grant. PAUSD will receive over $400,000 of vocational services for TPP participants.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Consent 13 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent of Schools FROM: Charles Young, Associate Superintendent – Educational Services SUBJECT: Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Academic Excellence and Learning Budget and Infrastructure Governance and Communication Staff Development and Recruitment RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education approve the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015. BACKGROUND As part of legislation on school funding and accountability signed by the Governor in 2013 and State Board of Education regulations, every California school district is required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). As a Community Funded school district, we do not receive additional revenue under this new legislation, but we are, nonetheless, required to prepare the LCAP for our district. One of the intents of this legislation was to encourage greater conversation between school districts and the communities they serve. In the case of Palo Alto Unified, many of the recommended steps were similar to the work the district has been doing as part of its Strategic Plan process. These steps include annual surveys to measure student, staff, and parent/guardian sentiments and response to community input. To the extent possible, the LCAP and district Strategic Plan process have been woven together. Development of the LCAP There are three broad categories of the plan, which include Conditions of Learning, Pupil Outcomes, and Engagement. Within those categories, there are eight priorities that include: Basic (teacher credentialing, standard aligned instructional materials, and school facilities), Implementation of State Standards, Course Access, Pupil Achievement, Other Pupil Outcomes, Parent Involvement, Pupil Engagement, and School Climate. To address the eight priority areas, the LCAP must include goals, progress indicators/metrics, actions with proposed expenditures, and budget allocations indicating support for Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) subgroups. Our current Strategic Plan aligns well with the required areas outlined in the LCAP. Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)

1

The Palo Alto Unified School District does not receive additional revenue from the LCFF funds. The hold harmless provision in the LCFF capped the District’s state categorical program revenue at the 2012-13 level, which is $2.5 million. We have not been informed of increases in the cap for the out years. Process, Overview, and Update of Year One and Update of Goals for Year Two This is the second year of the LCAP process. Information on the LCAP is provided on the district website at http://pausd.org/community/LCAP/index.shtml, and input was requested at community meetings held on March 5 and April 30 at the District Office. Feedback was also received from the Santa Clara County Office of Education on this year’s plan. Additionally, the California Department of Education revised the LCAP format for Year Two to reflect fewer goals and actions to ensure a target focus from districts statewide. Input from all stakeholders, the County, and the State, is incorporated in PAUSD’s Year Two plan. Tonight’s presentation includes a progress update on goals and actions from available data. Progress indicators for several goals and actions are linked to the new Smarter Balanced assessment and the Strategic Plan, and will be discussed once they become available. The two attachments include a progress update data collection form completed by staff, and a draft of next year’s goals and actions. After tonight’s public hearing and discussion, the proposed LCAP and budget will be brought to the Board for approval on June 23. The plan is due to the County Office of Education by June 30.

Introduction:

LEA: Palo Alto Unified School District Contact (Name, Title, Email, Phone Number): Dr. Glenn McGee, Superintendent, [email protected], LCAP Year: 2015-16

Local Control and Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and Annual Update Template shall be used to provide details regarding local educational agencies’ (LEAs) actions and expenditures to support pupil outcomes and overall performance pursuant to Education Code sections 52060, 52066, 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5. The LCAP and Annual Update Template must be completed by all LEAs each year.

For school districts, pursuant to Education Code section 52060, the LCAP must describe, for the school district and each school within the district, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities.

For county offices of education, pursuant to Education Code section 52066, the LCAP must describe, for each county office of education-operated school and program, goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, who are funded through the county office of education Local Control Funding Formula as identified in Education Code section 2574 (pupils attending juvenile court schools, on probation or parole, or mandatorily expelled) for each of the state priorities and any locally identified priorities. School districts and county offices of education may additionally coordinate and describe in their LCAPs services provided to pupils funded by a school district but attending county-operated schools and programs, including special education programs.

Charter schools, pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, and 47606.5, must describe goals and specific actions to achieve those goals for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils identified in Education Code section 52052, including pupils with disabilities, for each of the state priorities as applicable and any locally identified priorities. For charter schools, the inclusion and description of goals for state priorities in the LCAP may be modified to meet the grade levels served and the nature of the programs provided, including modifications to reflect only the statutory requirements explicitly applicable to charter schools in the Education Code.

The LCAP is intended to be a comprehensive planning tool. Accordingly, in developing goals, specific actions, and expenditures, LEAs should carefully consider how to reflect the services and related expenses for their basic instructional program in relationship to the state priorities. LEAs may reference and describe actions and expenditures in other plans and funded by a variety of other fund sources when detailing goals, actions, and expenditures related to the state and local priorities. LCAPs must be consistent with school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. The information contained in the LCAP, or annual update, may be supplemented by information contained in other plans (including the LEA plan pursuant to Section 1112 of Subpart 1 of Part A of Title I of Public Law 107-110) that are incorporated or referenced as relevant in this document.

1

For each section of the template, LEAs shall comply with instructions and should use the guiding questions as prompts (but not limits) for completing the information as required by statute. Guiding questions do not require separate narrative responses. However, the narrative response and goals and actions should demonstrate each guiding question was considered during the development of the plan. Data referenced in the LCAP must be consistent with the school accountability report card where appropriate. LEAs may resize pages or attach additional pages as necessary to facilitate completion of the LCAP.

2

Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement

Meaningful engagement of parents, pupils, and other stakeholders, including those representing the subgroups identified in Education Code section 52052, is critical to the LCAP and budget process. Education Code sections 52060(g), 52062 and 52063 specify the minimum requirements for school districts; Education Code sections 52066(g), 52068 and 52069 specify the minimum requirements for county offices of education, and Education Code section 47606.5 specifies the minimum requirements for charter schools. In addition, Education Code section 48985 specifies the requirements for translation of documents.

Instructions: Describe the process used to consult with parents, pupils, school personnel, local bargaining units as applicable, and the community and how this consultation contributed to development of the LCAP or annual update. Note that the LEA’s goals, actions, services and expenditures related to the state priority of parental involvement are to be described separately in Section 2. In the annual update boxes, describe the stakeholder involvement process for the review, and describe its impact on, the development of the annual update to LCAP goals, actions, services, and expenditures.

Section 2: Goals, Actions, Expenditures, and Progress Indicators

Instructions:

All LEAs must complete the LCAP and Annual Update Template each year. The LCAP is a three-year plan for the upcoming school year and the two years that follow. In this way, the program and goals contained in the LCAP align with the term of a school district and county office of education budget and multiyear budget projections. The Annual Update section of the template reviews progress made for each stated goal in the school year that is coming to a close, assesses the effectiveness of actions and services provided, and describes the changes made in the LCAP for the next three years that are based on this review and assessment.

Charter schools may adjust the table below to align with the term of the charter school’s budget that is submitted to the school’s authorizer pursuant to Education Code section 47604.33.

For school districts, Education Code sections 52060 and 52061, for county offices of education, Education Code sections 52066 and 52067, and for charter schools, Education Code section 47606.5 require(s) the LCAP to include a description of the annual goals, for all pupils and each subgroup of pupils, to be achieved for each state priority as defined in 5 CCR 15495(i) and any local priorities; a description of the specific actions an LEA will take to meet the identified goals; a description of the expenditures required to implement the specific actions; and an annual update to include a review of progress towards the goals and describe any changes to the goals.

To facilitate alignment between the LCAP and school plans, the LCAP shall identify and incorporate school-specific goals related to the state and local priorities from the school plans submitted pursuant to Education Code section 64001. Furthermore, the LCAP should be shared with, and input requested from, schoolsite-level advisory groups, as applicable (e.g., schoolsite councils, English Learner Advisory Councils, pupil advisory groups, etc.) to facilitate alignment between school-site and district-level goals and actions. An LEA may incorporate or reference actions described in other plans that are being undertaken to meet the goal.

Using the following instructions and guiding questions, complete a goal table (see below) for each of the LEA’s goals. Duplicate and expand the fields as necessary.

Goal: Describe the goal:

When completing the goal tables, include goals for all pupils and specific goals for schoolsites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and, where applicable, at the schoolsite level. The LEA may identify which schoolsites and subgroups have the same goals, and group and describe those goals together. The LEA may also indicate those goals that are not applicable to a specific subgroup or schoolsite.

7

Related State and/or Local Priorities: Identify the state and/or local priorities addressed by the goal by placing a check mark next to the applicable priority or priorities. The LCAP must include goals that address each of the state priorities, as defined in 5 CCR 15495(i), and any additional local priorities; however, one goal may address multiple priorities.

Identified Need: Describe the need(s) identified by the LEA that this goal addresses, including a description of the supporting data used to identify the need(s).

Schools: Identify the schoolsites to which the goal applies. LEAs may indicate “all” for all schools, specify an individual school or a subset of schools, or specify grade spans (e.g., all high schools or grades K-5).

Applicable Pupil Subgroups: Identify the pupil subgroups as defined in Education Code section 52052 to which the goal applies, or indicate “all” for all pupils.

Expected Annual Measurable Outcomes: For each LCAP year, identify and describe specific expected measurable outcomes for all pupils using, at minimum, the applicable required metrics for the related state priorities. Where applicable, include descriptions of specific expected measurable outcomes for schoolsites and specific subgroups, including pupils with disabilities, both at the LEA level and at the schoolsite level.

The metrics used to describe the expected measurable outcomes may be quantitative or qualitative, although the goal tables must address all required metrics for every state priority in each LCAP year. The required metrics are the specified measures and objectives for each state priority as set forth in Education Code sections 52060(d) and 52066(d). For the pupil engagement priority metrics, LEAs must calculate the rates specified in Education Code sections 52060(d)(5)(B), (C), (D) and (E) as described in the Local Control Accountability Plan and Annual Update Template Appendix, sections (a) through (d).

Action/Services: For each LCAP year, identify all annual actions to be performed and services provided to meet the described goal. Actions may describe a group of services that are implemented to achieve the identified goal.

Scope of Service: Describe the scope of each action/service by identifying the schoolsites covered. LEAs may indicate “all” for all schools, specify an individual school or a subset of schools, or specify grade spans (e.g., all high schools or grades K-5). If supplemental and concentration funds are used to support the action/service, the LEA must identify if the scope of service is districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide.

Pupils to be served within identified scope of service: For each action/service, identify the pupils to be served within the identified scope of service. If the action to be performed or the service to be provided is for all pupils, place a check mark next to “ALL.”

For each action and/or service to be provided above what is being provided for all pupils, place a check mark next to the applicable unduplicated pupil subgroup(s) and/or other pupil subgroup(s) that will benefit from the additional action, and/or will receive the additional service. Identify, as applicable, additional actions and services for unduplicated pupil subgroup(s) as defined in Education Code section 42238.01, pupils redesignated fluent English proficient, and/or pupils subgroup(s) as defined in Education Code section 52052.

8

Budgeted Expenditures: For each action/service, list and describe budgeted expenditures for each school year to implement these actions, including where those expenditures can be found in the LEA’s budget. The LEA must reference all fund sources for each proposed expenditure. Expenditures must be classified using the California School Accounting Manual as required by Education Code sections 52061, 52067, and 47606.5.

Guiding Questions:

1) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address state priorities related to “Conditions of Learning”?2) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address state priorities related to “Pupil Outcomes”? 3) What are the LEA’s goal(s) to address state priorities related to parent and pupil “Engagement” (e.g., parent involvement, pupil engagement, and school

Section 3: Use of Supplemental and Concentration Grant funds and Proportionality

A. In the box below, identify the amount of funds in the LCAP year calculated on the basis of the number and concentration of low income, foster youth, and English learner pupils as determined pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(5).

Describe how the LEA is expending these funds in the LCAP year. Include a description of, and justification for, the use of any funds in a districtwide, schoolwide, countywide, or charterwide manner as specified in 5 CCR 15496.

For school districts with below 55 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the district or below 40 percent of enrollment of unduplicated pupils at a schoolsite in the LCAP year, when using supplemental and concentration funds in a districtwide or schoolwide manner, the school district must additionally describe how the services provided are the most effective use of funds to meet the district’s goals for unduplicated pupils in the state and any local priority areas. (See 5 CCR 15496(b) for guidance.)

Total amount of Supplemental and Concentration grant funds calculated: $2.4 million Palo Alto Unified School District will receive $2.4 million in supplemental Local Control Funding Formula beginning in 2015-16. This amount will increase to approximately $2.7 million in 2016-17 and $2.9 million in 2016-17. Palo Alto Unified will offer a variety of programs and supports specifically for English learners, low income students and foster youth. These include: ELD teachers at every level, targeted instructional support materials in literacy and mathematics, primary language tutors, partnerships with organizations to provide mentoring and tutoring for struggling students, after school tutoring and intervention programs, an expansion of the AVID program in middle schools and high schools, courses in READ 180, Reading Enhancement and Academic Language Development, professional learning, counseling support, summer interventions programs, Springboard for Pre-K, services in mental health and truancy prevention, and McKinney Vento programs to support homeless and foster youth.

B. In the box below, identify the percentage by which services for unduplicated pupils must be increased or improved as compared to the services provided to all pupils in the LCAP year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a).

Consistent with the requirements of 5 CCR 15496, demonstrate how the services provided in the LCAP year for low income pupils, foster youth, and English learners provide for increased or improved services for these pupils in proportion to the increase in funding provided for such pupils in that year as calculated pursuant to 5 CCR 15496(a)(7). An LEA shall describe how the proportionality percentage is met using a quantitative and/or qualitative description of the increased and/or improved services for unduplicated pupils as compared to the services provided to all pupils.

2.7 %

Palo Alto Unified School District is planning a 2.72% increase in services for low income, English Learner, RFEP and/or Foster Youth Students for 2015-16, and 2.97% for 2016-17, and 3.20% increase in 2017-18.Palo Alto Unified will offer a variety of programs and supports specifically for English learners, low income students and foster youth.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Consent 14 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Ph. D., Superintendent FROM: Charles Young, Associate Superintendent - Educational Services SUBJECT: Uniform Complaint (Williams Settlement and Valenzuela/CAHSEE Lawsuit

Settlement) Quarterly Report STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Academic Excellence and Learning RECOMMENDATION This item is brought to the Board and community for information only and no action is required. BACKGROUND As a result of the Williams Settlement Legislation Requirements and the Valenzuela/CAHSEE Lawsuit Settlement, local Boards must submit a quarterly report to the county superintendent on the nature and resolution of complaints in the following areas: There should be sufficient textbooks and instructional materials. For there to be “sufficient

textbooks and instructional materials” each pupil, including English learners, must have a textbook or instructional materials to use in class and to take home.

There should be a teacher assigned to each class and not a series of substitutes or other

temporary teachers. The teacher should have the proper credential and subject matter training to teach the class.

School facilities must be clean, safe, and maintained in good repair. Good repair means

the facility is maintained in a manner that assures it is clean, safe, and functional. Pupils who have not passed the high school exit examination by the end of grade 12 are

entitled to receive intensive instruction and services for up to two consecutive academic years after completion of grade 12 or until the pupil has passed both parts of the high school exit examination, whichever comes first.

Complaint forms can be obtained at the principal's office, district office, or can be downloaded from the district's or California Department of Education's website. There were no Williams complaints (regarding textbooks and instructional materials, teacher vacancies or misassignments, or facilities conditions) or Valenzuela complaints (regarding CAHSEE instruction and services) at any school filed from April 1 – June 23, 2015.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Consent 15 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Board of Education FROM: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent SUBJECT: Extended Field Trip - International STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Academic Excellence and Learning BACKGROUND This report is a request for Board approval for an extended international educational field trip to Singapore with students from both Gunn and Palo Alto high schools. (See Attachments A - D.) Students will have an opportunity to expand their educational foundation through this international experience. Below, in part, is the PAUSD Board policy with respect to field trips. It is the intention of staff to ask the Board for approval of all international field trips.

PAUSD BOARD POLICY 6153 - SCHOOL-SPONSORED FIELD STUDY TRIPS The Board of Education recognizes that school-sponsored trips are an important component of a student's development and supplement and enrich the classroom learning experience. School-sponsored trips may be conducted in connection with the district's course of study or school-related social, educational, cultural, athletic, school band activities, or other extracurricular or co-curricular activities. A field trip to a foreign country may be permitted to familiarize students with the language, history, geography, natural science, and other studies relative to the district's course of study. Requests for school-sponsored trips involving out-of-state, out-of-country, or overnight travel shall be submitted to the Superintendent or designee. The Superintendent or designee shall review the request and make a finding to whether the request should be approved by the Board. No field trip shall be authorized if any student would be excluded from participation because of a lack of sufficient funds. The Superintendent or designee shall coordinate with community groups to supply funds for students in need. (Education Code 35330)

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education approve the proposed extended international field trip to Singapore for students from Gunn and Palo Alto high schools. Attachments

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Consent 17 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15

TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Charles Young, Associate Superintendent - Educational Services PREPARED BY: Judy Argumedo, Coordinator for Academic Success SUBJECT: Annual Request to Submit an Application for Consolidated Categorical Aid STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Academic Excellence and Learning RECOMMENDATION The District English Language Advisory Committee/District Action Committee recommended approval of categorical fund application on April 30, 2015. It is recommended the Board approve the request to submit an application for Consolidated Categorical Aid, Part I, June 30, 2015. BACKGROUND Annually, the Palo Alto Unified School District must submit an application for funding for programs grouped together as Consolidated Categorical Aid. This memorandum provides a short description of those programs in which the District participates.

FEDERAL FUNDING The Consolidated Application is used by the California Department of Education to distribute categorical funds from various federal programs. Annually each local educational agency submits an application, part one in June and part two in January, to document participation in these programs and provide assurances that the district will comply with the legal requirements of each program. Program entitlements are determined by formulas contained in the laws that created the programs. TITLE I, Part A - Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged This program provides supplemental funds to be used to narrow the educational gap between disadvantaged children and other children in those areas where the highest concentration of children from low-income families attend school. TITLE II, Part A - Preparing, Training, and Recruiting High Quality Teachers and Principals This program provides grants to Local Educational Agencies to increase student academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality and increasing the number of highly qualified teachers and principals in the schools.

TITLE III, Program for Limited English Proficient Students (LEP), Immigrant Education This program provides funding for supplementary programs and services for LEP students. Required activities include the provision of instruction and instructional support services related to English Language Development (ELD) programs and academic progress in the core curriculum in a manner that allows LEP students to meet grade level and graduation requirements. Programs

must provide staff development opportunities to school staff assigned to LEP student populations. Funds may also be used for parental involvement and related LEP student program activities. The use of categorical funds is to assist districts in closing the educational gap of special populations, and providing resources, professional development, and materials to improve instruction.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Consent 18 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Ph.D., Superintendent FROM: Scott J. Bowers, Ed.D. Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources SUBJECT: Variable Term Waiver for Middle School French Teacher STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Staff Development and Recruitment RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board authorize the District to file a Variable Term Waiver for Sophie Drozek so she may teach French at Terman Middle School for one year. BACKGROUND A variable term waiver is a document requested by a school district when it has difficulty finding an appropriately credentialed individual for a teaching position. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires a notice of intent to employ an applicant be made public. Vyjayanthi Raman, French teacher at Terman Middle School, is taking a one-year Leave of Absence for the 2015/16 school year. Only 10 candidates applied for the job and five were considered qualified to interview. Two teachers who interviewed withdrew their interest because the position is only for one year to fill in for Raman who will return for the 2016/17 school year. Sophie Drozek –French teacher for Terman Middle School – Grades 6-8 Sophie Drozek was found to be the most qualified candidate for the job and is willing to take the position for one year as she expects to retire after the 2015/16 school year. Sophie has been a French teacher for 18 years working in private schools and a community college in the Bay Area. She has spent the last 14 years at Mt. Tamalpais Elementary School in Mill Valley teaching French in K-8 and, prior to this position, she taught at Lycee Francais of San Francisco and Merritt College in Oakland. Because Sophie has always taught at private schools, she has not needed a California Single Subject teaching credential. Sophie holds a MA in French from CSU East Bay (Hayward) and has passed the CBEST test.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Information 19 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Ph.D., Superintendent FROM: Scott Bowers, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent - Human Resources SUBJECT: Jan Parker Substitute Teacher Awards 2014-2015 STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Staff Recruitment and Development BACKGROUND Our substitute teacher work force is an essential part of the Palo Alto educational family. They help to maintain the quality of our instructional programs and provide for continuity of instruction during the absence of the teacher. We have nearly 300 substitute teachers in our files and call on 60-80 on an average day with up to 100 substitutes needed on those days when we are running specialized staff development. Many substitutes perform such an excellent job of keeping our classrooms on task and moving forward they are called back again and again—not just by one teacher, but by many teachers in a school and across the District. Jan Parker was the substitute caller for PAUSD from 1968 to 1986—a time when a real, live person called each substitute personally. The District had two telephone lines and a tape recorder installed in the den of the Parker house so that Jan could take messages from teachers and start arranging substitutes very early in the morning. She knew most of the teaching staff and the personal situations of our teachers and substitutes. In honor of Jan’s dedication and love of her work at the school district, her husband, John Parker, instituted the Jan Parker Substitute Teacher Awards in June 1994. We are grateful to Mr. Parker, who passed away in August 2011, for establishing this special tradition of recognizing and rewarding the best of our substitute educators. Each year since 1994, teachers have nominated the very best substitute teachers for the Jan Parker Award. This year, we wish to honor Terry Holzemer and Ernest Regua as Substitute Teachers of the Year. Terry Holzemer – Elementary Award Winner Terry Holzemer has been a substitute in Palo Alto since 2001. Mr. Holzemer earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from San Jose State, and has completed a variety of Long Term Substitute roles with our district. He is known by PAUSD elementary staff for his versatility and reliability as well as his strong classroom management skills and reputation for consistency of following lesson plans. “Terry is always on time and has flexibility to fill any position needed. He knows the curriculum and always fulfills the lesson plans left by the teacher, with notes at the end of the day. He is loved by our students and our staff.”

Ernest Regua – Secondary Award Winner Ernest Regua has been a substitute in Palo Alto since 2011. Mr. Regua’s previous experience includes working as a graphic designer, artist-in-residence for SJSU and California Arts Council collaboration, and long-time art instructor for peninsula youth art programs. He earned his BA from San Diego State University, and an MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. In his time substituting in our district, he has provided great support in the subjects of English, Math and Science as well as often substituting in our Art program. Mr. Regua is known by PAUSD secondary staff for his good technical skills, precision in following lesson plans, calm and engaging demeanor, and attention to student needs. “Calm, fair, and confident, Ernest is sought after because teachers’ minds are at ease knowing the class will run smoothly with him in their absence. Teachers request him months in advance, his reputation as a substitute is stellar.”

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Action 20 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Cathy Mak, Chief Business Officer SUBJECT: 2015 Parcel Tax Expenditure Plan This item was discussed by the Board of Education at its meeting of June 9, 2015. At the meeting, the Board requested explanations on the new expenditures. Staff included the information which starts on page 5 of the report. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget Trends and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION The item was discussed at the June 9, 2015 meeting. It is recommended the Board of Education approve the parcel tax expenditure plan for the 2015 Measure A for 2015-16 to 2020-21. BACKGROUND On May 5, 2015, the voters of Palo Alto Unified School District approved an annual tax of $758 per parcel per year (Measure A), with two percent annual increases, for six years to replace the previous tax measure. This parcel tax allows exemptions upon application parcels owned by and used as principal residences of persons of age 65 years or older, as well as certain other taxpayers eligible for state disability income. The parcel tax also calls for independent oversight to monitor the expenditures of the taxes collected. This tax was approved by a Yes vote of 77.3 percent. The 2015 ballot measure stated the proceeds of the tax would be used to “preserve excellence in core academic programs, including science, engineering, math, reading, writing, arts and music; reduce class sizes; attract and retain qualified teachers; advance health, well-being, and equitable opportunities for every student.” PROPOSAL It is proposed the District establish guidelines for the expenditure of the parcel tax revenues from the 2015 Measure A as follows: INCOME The duration of the new 2015 Measure is from 2015-16 to 2020-21. The parcel tax is $758 per parcel and adjusted annually by 2%. The previous 2010 Measure currently generates $12.4 million per year. The 2015 Measure increases the tax by $120 per parcel or $2.3 million for a total of parcel tax revenues of approximately $14.7 million in 2015-16, which is approximately 7% percent of the total revenues.

1

EXPENDITURES As stated in the background, the parcel tax was designated for four areas of expenditure enabling the District to attain its vision and which are directly tied to the Strategic Plan focus areas and the accompanying initiatives for each area listed below. Moreover, Measure A funds will have an impact at both the elementary and secondary schools and provide support programs for every child. We have highlighted the Strategic Plan linkages in the table of expenditures. A. Academic Excellence and Learning

A1: Differentiate the educational experience A2: Ensure post-secondary preparation by implementing the Common Core State Standards, improving feedback for students, and increasing consistency A3: Significantly raise the achievement of historically underserved students

B. Personal Development and Support: Fostering joy in learning through personal development across multiple dimensions

B1: Foster personal development and health of students B2: Ensure safe and positive school environments for students B3: Improve system of counseling supports

C. Staff Development and Recruitment: Sustaining a culture of growth and innovation C3: Ensure strong talent and leadership D. Budget and Infrastructure: Investing responsibly for excellence and growth D1: Optimize the use of resources E. Governance and Communication: Engendering trust and accountability within our community

E2: Provide a coherent district approach to align sites in key areas E3: Engage in dialogue and partnership with community members and organizations E4: Promote a culture that supports innovation

As noted above, the parcel tax ballot language expressly provides for: 1) preserving excellence in core academic programs; 2) protecting class sizes by recruiting teachers to meet enrollment growth; 3) attracting and retaining qualified teachers; and 4) advancing health, well-being, and equitable opportunities for every student. These designations include the ones defined in the parcel tax passed in 2010, and we have therefore included all of the expenditures from the 2010 parcel tax expenditure plan in this 2015 plan. In addition, the increase in parcel tax revenues of $2.3 million will be used to fund these three areas:

1. Health and Wellness (B. Personal Development and Support) a. Family and student counseling and mental health support b. Physical wellness support for exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc. c. Expand nursing services in K-5

2

2. Academics (A. Academic Excellence and Learning) a. Extend and expand summer school b. PK-2 literacy support c. Expert tutoring d. Afternoon and weekend programs

3. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) (A. Academic Excellence and Learning and C. Staff Development and Recruitment: Sustaining a culture of growth and innovation)

a. Class size reduction for electives of 30 or more students per class b. Support for differentiated instructions in K-6 mathematics c. Advanced authentic research in science and the humanities d. Computer science curriculum beginning in middle school

The following table details the expenditures proposed for the 2015 Parcel Tax Expenditure Plan. The first section lists the items currently funded by the 2010 measure ($12.4 million). The next section lists new or expended expenditure items in the three categories described above ($2.3 million). The five items shown in italics, totaling $619,925, have been approved by the Board at the meeting of April 21, 2015. The items in the second bucket (Academic Supports) of the new expenditures address the recommendations from the Minority Achievement and Talent Development (MATD) Advisory Committee presented to the Board at the meeting of May 26, 2015. The total amount of $14.7 million reflects the planned expenditure budget for 2015-16. The expenditure plans for 2016-17 through 2020-21 will have the same items, but the total budget will be increased by 2% annually to reflect the increase in income and costs. To assure we are “investing responsibly for excellence and growth,” (Focus Area D) the Citizens’ Oversight Committee annually monitors and reports on these expenses to assure the community we are using every nickel as planned and, ideally, enabling us to “engender trust and accountability within our community.” (Focus Area E)

The following are information on the new Measure A expenditures: Health and Wellness:

1. Licensed Mental Health Support Therapist ($250,000): To support student mental health and wellness needs at our high schools, we are adding 2.0 FTE positions immediately. Licensed Mental Health Therapists provide essential Tier One Intervention support for students who are having social, emotional, and/or behavioral challenges. The therapists also design appropriate interventions for the teachers of these students to differentiate instruction, to incorporate social-emotional and behavioral classroom plans, and to support and monitor student progress and mental health. The high school principals have requested these positions as the best way to provide the most needed services for the largest number of students.

2. District Nurse ($127,450): There is an increased need to coordinate and provide nursing

services across the district. The addition (1.0 FTE) of a second District nurse will allow the district to improve its coverage for elementary site health needs and working with the health technicians at the secondary sites.

3. Health Tech ($100,332): The District will increase the Health Tech positions at each of the middle schools by 0.25 FTE bringing these positions to full-time. In addition, due to the shortage of qualified applicants for our vacant Health Tech positions, a reclassification study is planned to review Health Tech salaries in the County.

4. Psychologist or Social Worker ($136,000): The social worker or school psychologist position will support all students by providing and/or coordinating tiered interventions that enhance protective factors, such as assessment, school attendance, connectedness, parent outreach and engagement and asset building supports.

5. Mindfulness Coach ($63,725): There is a growing research base that supports mindfulness practices as a means of reducing student stress and increasing student achievement. We are proposing 0.50 FTE position.

Given the success of a limited pilot in 2014-15 at with a cohort of Barron Park teachers and the demand from teachers to learn mindfulness practices, we are recommending release time for an elementary, middle school and high school teacher to expand this work and complete a more comprehensive pilot project. This past year Jennifer Harvey created a K-5 teacher/student Mindful Education Cohort which included 16 demonstration lessons (taught by her) in participating classrooms along with 18 hours of professional development She collected approximately 150 evaluation feedback surveys from teachers, students and parents at Barron Park. These reflections showed evidence of a positive impact on the students.

Moreover, K-12 teachers have shown abundant interest in Mindful. Recognizing the need for more ongoing support and training, Jennifer Harvey (Barron Park first grade), and Roni Habib (Gunn Psychology Teacher), created a K-12 teacher Mindful Education Cohort. They opened up 25 spaces and, almost immediately, had close to 60 applicants. This

5

group has been a very powerful collaboration and a unique opportunity for teachers across a wide range of grade levels to learn and grow together. Participants will received 18 hours of credit toward professional development.

Goals: • To introduce teachers and staff to the practice of mindfulness and its research-based benefits for teachers, students, learning, and creating a positive classroom environment • To assist teachers and students in developing a personal mindfulness practice • To support teachers through coaching as they integrate mindfulness practices into their curriculum Actions: • Staff Meeting Presentations: Give an introduction to mindfulness (what it is, how it is different from meditation, the research and science behind mindfulness, etc.) and have them experience a mindfulness practice. • Mindful Lunches: Host 4 - 6 week lunchtime (could be after school) sessions at the school sites for teachers so they can experience mindfulness and develop a personal practice. • Guest Teach: Go into a classroom for 4 – 6 weeks on a weekly basis to teach a mini mindfulness curriculum and demonstrate a mindfulness practice with the students while the teacher observes. • Coach Teachers: Work with teachers one-on-one to discuss ways to incorporate mindfulness into their classroom. These meetings can include discussion, planning, modeling a lesson, observing a lesson to give feedback, or any other way the teacher would like support. • Collaboration: Meet monthly with all mindfulness coaches to share ideas, discuss what is/not working well, collaborate on curriculum, and support each other in this work. If feasible, loosely align the curriculum so as students move through the district, they will have practices and skills to carry with them as they change schools. • Curriculum Development: Develop and refine a mindfulness curriculum to be used at the lunches and in the classroom lessons. Make sure the curriculum addresses the specific goals of the program. Put together a list of resources for teachers. • Data Collection: Analyze the data collected through surveying teachers and students. As the surveys are created, make sure the questions are measuring our specific mindfulness goals. (We will need to decide exactly what they will be—reduction of stress or improved academic performance or improvement of relationships between students and teachers or improved quality of life or something else.) • Mindfulness Cohort: Continue to participate in the PAUSD mindfulness cohort by attending the monthly meetings.

6

• Professional Development: Continue to read, research and stay current on mindfulness and mindfulness practices in education. Attend trainings and workshops when appropriate. Would like to look into attending Wisdom 2.0 in San Francisco as well as events at the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and Mindful Schools.

Evaluation: • Survey teachers at the beginning and end of the lunch series • Survey students at the start and finish of the guest teaching series • Ask teachers to fill out a feedback form at the end of the coaching sessions

6. Student Services ($223,850): Additional services to the Student Services Office is needed to support coordinated and tiered programs, interventions and direct services that benefit students in the areas of social, emotional and mental health. Specifically, we hope to add additional resources to the following:

Parent Outreach: We will be coordinating and expanding parent outreach efforts to all parents, as well as parents with second language needs, to address issues of risk and resilience. Parent education is integral to a coordinated response that promotes student safety and well-being.

Counseling: Additional counseling services are needed to support the health and wellbeing of all students across multiple tiers of intervention. Responsive and effective counseling services are needed at each tier of intervention to ensure that students receive appropriate help in a timely manner. Crisis Intervention: Professional learning and resources are needed to build capacity for staff/teachers/administrators to effectively respond to school crisis. This work includes prevention, intervention and post-vention education and support. Interns: The Student Services Office will launch a Social Work Intern Program next year to support school engagement and attendance. We anticipate having 5 interns at the secondary sites to provide home visits, resources, information and support to students and families to promote school attendance; which has been shown to be a protective factor for students.

Wellness Screenings: Screening tools to better identify student social emotional and mental health needs will assist school teams to more effectively respond and provide interventions across a wide continuum.

Academics:

7. Equity Administrator ($142,862): The Minority Achievement and Talent Development Advisory Committee (MATD) recommended an individual be hired (or selected) to monitor and assure the recommendations of the MATD are implemented with fidelity, to track student achievement data and prepare it for teachers in a manner to guide instruction, to serve as an ombudsman for students, faculty, and parents regarding issues related to

7

historically underrepresented populations, and to perform related duties. We are currently developing a job description for this position.

8. K-2 Reading Support/Instructional Aides ($130,341): The MATD report emphasized the critical need to assure students are reading at grade level by the time they leave third grade. Struggling students will need the additional support from adults who can provide expert tutoring in both decoding and comprehension, additional oral and silent reading practice, guidance in vocabulary development, and assistance in writing as necessary.

9. Bus Driver ($66,920): The District will provide a dedicated bus to provide transportation for approximately 60 Voluntary Transfer Program (VTP) students to get to and from East Palo Alto. This will require the District to employ a full-time bus driver to provide a morning drop off and a series of after-school bus runs.

10. Intervention Specialist TOSA ($127,450): Each elementary school has an RTI model and funding to support it. This TOSA position will provide direct modeling of interventions for faculty, will lead PLC discussions, and will work with the Director of Research and Evaluation on developing a plan to evaluate both the short and long range impact of selected interventions.

11. Expand Summer School ($300,000): “Summer learning loss” is a well-documented problem that contributes to the achievement gap. In Palo Alto there are abundant opportunities for summer learning activities for individuals of means. Families with lower incomes cannot provide similar access and opportunities for these students. We are recommending we extend summer school next year to include more than just remedial activities so all families can have access to educational enrichment opportunities.

12. Comprehensive Academic Diagnostics K-2 ($50,000): We are providing a comprehensive screening test within the first month of school and twice a year to make sure students are meeting the standards in reading and math. This recommendation is based on the finding of the MATD early identification for struggling students and early intervention in the primary grades is of critical importance to historically underrepresented students.

13. English Language Learner/Bilingual/Support ($59,811): The District will fund a 0.50 FTE ELL/Bilingual Support TOSA. The FTE ELL/Bilingual Support TOSA will work with families served under the ELL programs, as well as the broader community, to create collaborative partnerships that strengthen access to information, community resources, and academic excellence supporting student success. The FTE ELL/Bilingual Support TOSA will assist in overcoming language barriers, encouraging parental involvement and building positive relationships.

14. Equity Training ($45,600): The District is committed to offering Unconscious Bias training for staff over the next several years to address the cognitive biases that influence us. The trainings will engage staff in dialogue and activities building awareness and enhance the quality of education.

8

15. Middle School Math Intervention Classes ($152,940): The District will provide additional mathematics intervention support by adding two math classes at each of the middle schools.

S.T.E.A.M.

16. Advanced Authentic Research Coordinator ($142,862): The District will fund a 1.0 FTE Coordinator position. The Coordinator will design, develop, deliver, and evaluate electives for high school students providing a framework for students to conduct original investigations on compelling questions of interest; collaborate with other students and on-campus or off-campus professionals such as educators, researchers, and scholars; and to share their investigation results through professional presentations, competitions, and publications. The individual will also create AAR curricular standards focusing on all aspects of research in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

17. AAR Coordinator and Teacher Support ($50,980): See attached 4/21/15 Board presentation (Attachment A) regarding the Advanced Authentic Research Program. We are also funding one period for one teacher at each school to serve as liaison with the coordinator and faculty in order to design, develop, implement, and evaluate the program in a manner aligned with the schedule and culture of each high school. Teachers will also use this release time to teach students in the pilot projects necessary skills and concepts they may not have yet learned (e.g. statistical analysis) as well as to prepare lessons for future students who have gaps in their knowledge base for conducting research.

18. Research Program Supplies ($10,000): Supplies and equipment will be necessary for the Advanced Authentic Research Program. As students in pilot projects develop their research proposals, we expect some funding will be needed to support their work and work spaces.

19. Computer Science Curriculum – Middle Schools ($127,450): As evidence of Strategic

Initiative E4 (Culture of Innovation) and our second Board goal, we intend to design, develop, implement and evaluate a computer science curriculum in the middle schools for the 2016-17 academic year. Funding for this item will pay for faculty time to create the curriculum and pilot a second semester course.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Discussion 10 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 04.21.15 TO: Board of Education FROM: Glenn W. “Max” McGee, Superintendent SUBJECT: Advanced Authentic Research (AAR) – Science Research Project STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Academic Excellence and Learning RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent will provide Board members and the public an explanation for enhancing, extending, and expanding the district’s current Science Research Project (SRP). This program, Advanced Authentic Research (AAR), will be a year-long research project for high school students with the interest, passion, curiosity, and perseverance to investigate an authentic topic of their choosing. These students will be paired with mentors in the particular field of research who will support and facilitate the students work in their own laboratories, offices, and other settings. The off-campus student research will be supplemented with classroom instruction delivered by PAUSD teachers. BACKGROUND The first sentence of our district’s vision statement is, “We support all PAUSD students as they prepare themselves to thrive as global citizens in a rapidly changing world.” This rapidly changing world will require teamwork and collaboration not only in college and on the job, but also at times with colleagues across the globe; the ability to succeed in – and perhaps create – careers that do not yet exist; and the habits of mind (aka “informed characteristics of successful learners” – see attachment) that include, but are not limited to, enabling one to persevere when confronted with obstacles, being an agile learner in both identifying and solving problems, thinking critically and creatively, and communicating with power and clarity in speaking, writing, and an array of current and emerging technologically based media. The vision statement continues, “We develop our students' knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, and nurture their curiosity, creativity, and resilience, empowering every child to reach his or her full intellectual, social, and creative potential.” While this vision statement is brought to life in district classrooms every day throughout our robust curriculum, excellent teaching practices, innovative project-based programs such as SRP at Paly, Connections at JLS, capstone projects in the Social Justice Pathway, Computer Science classes, etc., and extra-curricular activities including robotics, debate, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Model United Nations (MUN), etc., these programs have limited capacity. Ideally, we would like to expand them and create new “pathway” programs beginning in middle school, but we cannot do everything at once. We can, however, begin, and my recommendation is to start with a minimum investment of staff beginning in fall of 2016 (not 2015) by extending SRP to Gunn High School, to other disciplines including the humanities, arts, social sciences, and combinations of these, and to an array of potential mentors in our greater community; enhancing SRP to assure students have a

comprehensive evidence-based research experience supplemented by classroom instruction, enabling them to achieve specific learning targets; and expanding it to include more students – and not just the top ones – at both Paly and Gunn high schools. Paly’s Science Research Project was conceived by Palo Alto science teachers more than 20 years ago as a way to provide an authentic science experience for highly motivated, talented, and academically focused students. The current SRP course at Paly is an elective that connects students to mentors out in the community. The class is a year-long course worth 10 units, is facilitated by a teacher, and meets the UC "g" requirement as a college preparatory elective. The students are graded, and the grades and credits are reflected in the transcript. The students experience real-world practical learning with their mentor in the field in which they choose to learn. Each year, students team up with scientist-mentors in the community at NASA Ames, Stanford University, USGS, and local companies for an academic year of collaboration and ongoing research. The current teacher, Mr. Keith Geller, reports students indicate this program has changed career choices and rekindled their love for science. This year’s students will be presenting their research on April 30 from 2:30-4:00 p.m. at Paly in Room 1710. The projects they will be presenting include:

• “Determinants of Insulin Mediated Glucose Uptake in South Asians” • “Associating Morbidity and Mortality with Impaired Cerebral Autoregulation in Preterm

Infants” • “Refining the Protocol for Single Cell Suspension and RNA Isolation in Drosophila,

Specifically Insulin Producing Cells” • “Exploring CRISPR-CAS9 Genome Editing” • “Synthesis of Mitochondria-Targeted Theranostic Agents” • “Cardiothoracic Surgery Research: Marfan Syndrome” • “Mechanics of the Chicken Cochlea” • “Near Earth Asteroids and the Relationship between Physical Properties and Asteroid

Class Averages” • “The Impact of Virtual Interactions with a Pet on Adolescent Connectedness”

The presentation will focus on providing information regarding the WHY, a bit on the WHAT, but not the HOW, because the WHAT and the HOW need to be developed through an inclusive process by faculty, administration, students, parents, external experts, and the like. Of course, these groups will also contribute to the WHY as we move through the design phase, so tonight’s meeting is really the first of many steps. Rationale (WHY): A PAUSD Advanced Authentic Research (AAR) model enables students to pursue a year-long investigation of a topic that deeply interests them under the guidance of both a PAUSD faculty member and an outside mentor in the field of interest. We know students learn best when they immerse themselves in a topic that has interest and meaning for them. These projects ignite, illuminate, and inspire student learning and are likely to have an impact long after the project is completed. For example, a young research student I am mentoring wrote to a Clara Shih, the founder of Hearsay Social:

This year, I am conducting a research project on female entrepreneurs in the STEM field. In this project I have been researching the main factors and events in life that might have affected a female entrepreneur’s career aspirations as she was growing up. I have focused mainly on the aspects of parenting and education background based on research

2

of Jelani Mandara and the meta analysis of Donald Bowen and Robert Hisrich. I hope to interview five to ten leaders like yourself and identify some similar experiences and parenting factors that inspired this career trajectory, supported success, and prompted pivotal choices in a field that, in my opinion, has too few women. Based on my research to-date, while some research has begun to focus generally on women in STEM careers, there seems to be very little published on the particular topic of female entrepreneurs. As a girl aspiring to a STEM career (and with impulses of my own to be entrepreneurial), I feel that it is important to add to the body of available knowledge. In the future, I aspire to find a way to help other girls who might be interested in STEM to pursue their interests. Your success has inspired me, and I hope that maybe my paper will inspire others.

Moreover, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) contain both broader practices and specific content standards that support an AAR model. In fact, the draft of target standards below are very much aligned with CCSS, Literacy Anchor Standards, and athematical Practices. AAR is project-based and involves authentic, real-world application, both integral pieces of CCSS. The AAR Learning Targets also address specific College and Career Readiness Writing Anchor Standards. For example: From the College and Career Readiness Writing Anchor Standards:

"Research to Build and Present Knowledge: 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused

questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. *These broad types of writing include many sub genres.

8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.

9. Draw evidence from literary and/or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

Range of Writing: 10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision)

and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences."

Likewise, PAUSD also has learner outcomes with particular relevance to AAR. These include:

1. Effective communication through listening, speaking, and writing 2. Strong research skills 3. Ability to integrate knowledge among disciplines 4. Reading with understanding 5. Critical and creative thinking to solve problems 6. Effective use of technology

Additional rationale relate to assessment. While tests are often a source of stress, authentic assessments in which students generate new knowledge, create a work product, deliver a presentation, and the like actually engage students and their peers. Rather than dreading the final, students report they look forward to sharing their findings and defending their conclusions. The AAR’s likely requirements of a written abstract, written proposal, and oral presentation of it, the

3

poster, the paper, and the final presentation are examples of authentic assessment, a concept which is defined as comprising:

“ . . . a variety of assessment techniques that share the following characteristics: (1) direct measurement of skills that relate to long-term educational outcomes such as success in the workplace; (2) tasks that require extensive engagement and complex performance; and (3) an analysis of the processes used to produce the response. Authentic assessment is often defined by what it is not: Its antonyms include: norm-referenced standardized tests; fixed-choice multiple-choice or true/false tests; fill-in-the-blank tests. Synonyms include: performance assessment, portfolios, and projects.” Link: http://www.education.com/reference/article/authentic-assessment/

There is a body of research supporting the value of authentic assessment such as Grant Wiggins’ “The Case for Authentic Assessment” and Douglas Reeves’ “A Framework for Assessing 21st Century Skills,” Chapter 14 in 21st Century Skills: Rethinking How Students Learn. In addition, anecdotal testimonials from students who have completed formal research projects and outside recognition by professional organizations are other indicators of the value of an AAR model. Graduates (Ted Li, Amber Farrell, Jen Ren, and Annie Pipathsouk) of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA), currently or recently attending Stanford, are eager to share their experiences with Board members face-to-face, and several others pictured in the slide presentation who attend public universities out of state are eager to do the same through video. These students can discuss their experiences as high school researchers, but more importantly, can share the impact AAR has had on their lives. Likewise, PAUSD students involved in SRP, students engaged in our collaborative research project with National Junior College, and even an eighth grade student I am mentoring as she researches the parenting and early education of successful women entrepreneurs can provide “on the ground” snapshots of both the benefits and challenges of conducting authentic research. If schedules and time allow, we will arrange for such interaction a future date. In the meantime, here is a link to some slides from our Singapore project (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3w_Debz2wo1RHNKM2JUQXl0R2M/view?usp=sharing) that illustrate the excitement of real world laboratory work, collaborating with international colleagues, and delivering a formal presentation. Abstracts from the student research projects at IMSA https://www.imsa.edu/sites/default/files/upload/imsaloquimabstractbook2015.pdf illustrate the variety of research topics, the quality of the student’s abstracts, and titles of papers that were published or presented at professional conferences and competitions. Please note that while much of the research is in the fields of hard science, students have completed research in other fields, and the PAUSD AAR model would support research in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts. Research on Research A 2010 meta analysis Troy Sadler, Stephen Burgin, Lyle McKinney, and Luis Ponjuan published in the Journal of Research in Science Teaching, “Learning Science through Research Apprenticeships: A Critical Review of the Literature,” shares findings from studies of high school research programs. A highlighted copy of the article is attached. It distinguishes these authentic (aka “apprentice” programs) as a difference between what I have called real science and school science. “Science learned in highly structured classroom environments may become bound to

those formal settings and exert very restricted influence on students’ experiences and thinking beyond the confines of schools (Cobb, 1994; Greeno, Moore, & Smith, 1993). Apprenticeship learning experiences, wherein a learner works with an expert mentor in authentic contexts, offer a very different model for education, especially as compared to traditional classrooms.” The paper provides evidence to support programs similar to AAR as having positive outcomes including:

• Increased student interest in science careers and new opportunities in scientific fields • Understanding of the nature of scientific knowledge • More sophisticated understanding of the complexity and uncertainty of scientific research • A greater appreciation of for the time and persistence required to do good research and

the attention to detail required • Insights related to the role of collaboration within the community of science and the

importance of discourse in advancing research • More sophisticated understanding of the nature of scientific theories • Increased scientific content knowledge • Confidence and self-efficacy, i.e. their own ability to “do science” • More competent at special skills including “computing and interpreting statistics, retrieving

information, giving presentations, and working independently” • Using the language of science in a meaningful way: “Students appropriated scientific

terminology as a means of efficiently communicating complex processes. This process stands in sharp contrast to students memorizing vocabulary as a precursor to exploring underlying content. Richmond and Kurth provide an example of how student researchers come to use language as a tool for their research rather than an abstracted learning objective.”

The study also highlights that other research programs such as two-week summer camps or Science Student-Scientist Partnerships where students gather data for ongoing projects are not as effective since students are not involved in generating the original research questions or actual data anlaysis: “The students did not participate in the generation of research questions, nor did they actively contribute to data analysis. This partial involvement of student researchers seemed to promote apathy among the subjects.” Also, at the PAUSD 21st Century Consortium a parent from one of our partner districts, Manhattan Beach, presented findings from his doctorate research on high school internships and mentorships. He found higher levels of engagement, knowledge acquisition, and self-confidence when students participated in authentic research. Proven Programs and Practices

Several leading high schools across the country including Niles North in Illinois, Thomas Jefferson in Virginia, and Highland Park in Texas, have student research programs, and while our goal is to develop our own AAR, it is valuable to learn from the experiences of others to enhance, extend, and expand our current SRP. We will seek to enhance our current program by developing objectives, standards, and targets as well as developing a process with key checkpoints. With 20+ years of history, IMSA has developed their SIR Inquiry Standards which are worth a look: https://www.imsa.edu/academics/inquiry/conductingSIR/Inquiry_Standards. Also, their Key Considerations for proposal planning provide a good example of expected components:

5

The Focusing Question (Section II) Key to the investigation is a focusing question that will be pursued. This question is developed by the student in response to passion, curiosity, and interest and is based on what is known about a particular topic. The nature of the question should suggest a learning experience that promotes analytic thinking, knowledge generation and application, and construction of meaning through mindful investigation. The Description (Section III) The description of the investigation, section III of the proposal, serves to document background knowledge and to describe, in detail, how the focusing question will be pursued in relation to what the student knows. The description should declare what is known about the subject of the investigation and how one got to the point of wanting to carry out the work. Why is the investigation important and interesting? What is specifically going to be done to answer the focusing question? The Bibliography (Section VI) A bibliography, section VI of the proposal, documents the background research for the investigation. The listed bibliography should also include materials that will be used as the investigation progresses. The bibliography will change and grow depending on the path the investigation takes. As the investigation develops, the bibliography should reflect use of more primary sources as knowledge deepens and the investigation will grow and become more meaningful and sophisticated. The bibliography should conform to the suggested Investigation Citation Format; a field- or journal-specific format may be used if all citation information is included. The Detailed Plan (Section IX) Section IX of the proposal includes a detailed investigation/research plan. This is a timeline that includes bi-weekly benchmarks for accomplishment. This plan will help the student define the work to be accomplished in order to answer the focusing question. It should help determine whether what the student intends on accomplishing is actually doable. As the investigation proceeds, this section will also help to determine whether the student is falling behind on completing the work or whether the project's intended goal and perhaps focusing question is changing based on the ongoing work. The detailed plan should also document a regular schedule for meetings with the advisor for substantive discussion of the investigation. Human and Animal Use (Section XII) If the proposal involves Human/Animal use, section XII must be addressed and special approval must be obtained. Any research involving humans or animals is subject to institutional review, because this type of research is federally regulated. For investigations that involve Human or Animal subjects, special guidance is needed to write successful proposals. Safety Considerations (Section XIII) When working with potentially hazardous materials, section XIII of the proposal must be addressed. Of utmost importance to every investigation is the safety of the student conducting it. A safety review must be conducted with the advisor and all safety issues must be fully discussed in the proposal, including how to avoid, handle, and dispose of hazardous materials, processes, and/or equipment.

6

Ethical and Societal Implications (Section XIV) A brief description of ethical and societal implications serves to complete the proposal.

WHAT As already noted, the AAR model would enable students to pursue a year-long investigation of a topic that deeply interests them under the guidance of both a PAUSD faculty member and an outside mentor in the field of interest. Ideally, a coordinator, faculty (teaching and library), and TOSA would work together to design and develop a program for implementation in 2016 which would include implementing and evaluating a pilot with a small number of students in 2015-16; and attend to the numerous details of the HOW, such as scheduling, identifying mentors and internship opportunities (e.g. Science Internship Program at UCSC http://ucsc-sip.org/), establishing prerequisites, building budgets, and much more. In developing the program, the team will be encouraged to work with high schools that have existing programs and institutions and a history of operating successful secondary school research partnerships and internships. As part of the program development, the team will build on the existing PAUSD Student Learning Outcomes and the CCSS and NGSS practices and standards to develop program objectives and standards and assessment rubrics and practices. Examples of learning objectives written as “I can” statements might include:

1. I can write a research question that can be answered through investigation. 2. I can design a research investigation to answer a testable question. 3. I can keep a research journal that records all of the relevant information and experiences

related to my project. 4. I can review the literature that is pertinent to my project and summarize the relevant

information into a final research paper. 5. I can conduct original research to answer a testable question. 6. I can re-evaluate and alter my research procedure, as needed. 7. I can write a comprehensive research paper. 8. I can prepare and present an oral defense of my research. 9. I can prepare and present a poster display that summarizes my research. 10. I can complete a research project that generates new knowledge.

In order to assure students reach the targets and master the objectives, the independent student research with mentors needs to be supplemented with classroom instruction. Research supports this model. In the article cited earlier, the researchers note: “Several reports suggest that the impact of programs would be enhanced by supplementing research activities with elements that provide explicit attention to desired learning outcomes (e.g., Bell et al., 2003; Grindstaff & Richmond, 2008; Schwartz et al., 2004). Participants can learn skills and ideas implicitly through participation in a research group, but supporting these experiences with activities specifically designed to help participants draw connections between their experiences and emerging understandings can have even more powerful effects.” Finally, we will also ask those designing the project to take a class in student research design such as Northwestern’s STEM Student Research, http://osep.northwestern.edu/projects/stem-student-research, (online) or to complete an equivalent professional development experience.

CONCLUSION The presentation provides a compelling rationale to invest some coordinator and teacher time and talent, along with initial funding, to proceed with designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating an Advanced Authentic Research Program. As the work continues, it is important to take into consideration the closing remarks from Sadler’s team (emphasis added): “Three issues emerged across the studies reviewed that have immediate implications for the designers and managers of scientific research apprenticeship programs. (1) The length of research experiences seems to be an important determinant of participant learning gains. It takes time for apprenticeship participants to feel comfortable enough in their research settings to really understand the science being conducted. This finding encourages program designers to consider ways of sustaining these experiences. . . . (2) Several reports suggest that the impact of programs would be enhanced by supplementing research activities with elements that provide explicit attention to desired learning outcomes (e.g., Bell et al., 2003; Grindstaff & Richmond, 2008; Schwartz et al., 2004). Participants can learn skills and ideas implicitly through participation in a research group, but supporting these experiences with activities specifically designed to help participants draw connections between their experiences and emerging understandings can have even more powerful effects. (3) For many of the anticipated outcomes such as critical thinking, NOS understandings, content knowledge, and discourse practices, ensuring that participants are epistemically engaged in the research process is critical. Involving students or teachers in ongoing research projects such that they follow established routines may be the most practical way of engaging the relative novices. However, if the participants’ experiences do not evolve to include a wider range of epistemically demanding practices such as data analysis, hypothesizing and developing research questions, then learning gains on higher order outcomes will likely be limited.” The next steps in the process, then, involve enlisting the personnel to get started on the AAR program design. We have many researchers, teachers, and experts who are eager to help us get started, and we have many students, present and past, who are excited about sharing their experiences and lending their ideas to the design process.

Abstract: Science education models for secondary and college students as well as K-12 teachers have been

dominated by classroom-based approaches. Recently, research apprenticeships wherein learners worked with practicing

scientists on authentic scientific research have become increasingly popular. The purpose of this critical review of the

literature was to review and synthesize empirical studies that have explored learning outcomes associated with research

apprenticeships for science learners. We reviewed 53 studies of scientific research apprenticeship experiences for

secondary students, undergraduates and teachers, both pre-service and in-service. The review explored various learning

outcomes associated with participation in research apprenticeships. These outcomes included effects of apprenticeship

experiences on participant career aspirations, ideas about the nature of science (NOS), understandings of scientific

content, confidence for doing science and intellectual development. The extant literature supported many of the presumed

positive associations between apprenticeship experiences and desired learning outcomes, but findings related to some

themes (e.g., NOS understandings) supported conflicting conclusions. Implications included importance of the length of

the apprenticeship, need to explicitly place attention on desired outcomes, and engagement of participants. � 2009

Science learning occurs in innumerable settings, but science classrooms remain the dominant contexts

for secondary and undergraduate science education. Despite efforts to incorporate laboratory exercises and

other inquiry-based learning strategies, many if not most science classrooms remain places in which students

receive parcels of pre-packaged knowledge from their teachers through direct transmission and/or carefully

orchestrated learning activities. Sociocultural critiques of educational practice (Packer & Goicoechea, 2000;

Resnick, 1991) challenge the effectiveness of this traditional model. Situated accounts of knowing and

learning based on sociocultural theories suggest that knowledge tends to be highly contextualized and

strongly associated with the situations in which it occurs. Science learned in highly structured classroom

environments may become bound to those formal settings and exert very restricted influence on students’

experiences and thinking beyond the confines of schools (Cobb, 1994; Greeno, Moore, & Smith, 1993).

Apprenticeship learning experiences wherein a learner works with an expert mentor in authentic contexts

offer a very different model for education especially as compared to traditional classrooms.

Most individuals engaged in advanced level graduate work in the sciences learn through research

apprenticeships. Graduate students work closely with their directing professors, postdoctoral researchers and

more senior graduate students in laboratories, field sites, or clinical settings. The processes through which

these individuals learn to become scientists are not dissimilar from those experienced by apprentices in

various trades including tailors and midwives (Lave & Wenger, 1991). Apprentices in all of these fields come

to understand the tools and cultures of their chosen trades through direct participation. Initially, apprentices

engage in practices which are legitimate in that the actions are important aspects of a trade and peripheral in

that they tend to support the more central elements of a trade. For instance, Lave (1988) describes how

apprentice tailors spend many hours ironing completed garments before they sew garments themselves.

Ironing is peripheral as compared to the more central practice of sewing but legitimate as it represents an

important step in the process of making new clothes. An apprentice in a genetics lab may initially engage in

legitimate peripheral activities such as extracting DNA from organismal samples or setting up gel plates. As

she/he becomes more familiar with the tools, protocols, and culture of the lab, her/his activities become more

central. Eventually, the apprentice comes to design and carry out her/his own experiments and may even take

on the responsibility of mentoring newer members of the lab community.

The same sociocultural critique levied against traditional classroom science can also be applied to

graduate education: knowledge is necessarily situated in the contexts in which learning and practice occur.

Whereas this conclusion implied problems for classroom science because knowledge becomes bound to a

setting dissimilar to other experiences of students’ lives, the situated nature of knowledge in apprenticeship

contexts is an important asset. Apprentices learn in contexts very similar to the situations they seek for further

activity or employment. Given this framework, apprenticeship learning for graduate students aspiring to be

professional scientists represents an ideal educational approach. However, graduate students do not comprise

the only population for which science research apprenticeships are established. Many programs around the

US have been designed to provide authentic research experiences for learners well ahead of the time they need

to commit to a profession. Apprenticeship opportunities have also been developed for practicing and pre-

service teachers based on the assumption that engaging teachers in authentic research will enhance their

understanding of science and how it is conducted in modern settings as well as their ability to foster inquiry in

their classrooms. Institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of

Health (NIH), and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute spend millions of dollars annually to subsidize these

science apprenticeships. An important question raised by this trend is what are secondary students,

undergraduates, and classroom teachers learning through research apprenticeships?

Purpose of the Review

The purpose of this review is to investigate what middle school (MS), high school (HS), and college

students as well as pre-service and in-service teachers learn through research apprenticeships in science. This

aim is accomplished through a critical review and synthesis of empirical literature in this area. The analysis

and conclusions drawn can be used to inform design, development, implementation, and evaluation of science

apprenticeships.

Methods

To provide as thorough a review as possible, we conducted several searches in databases which include

educational studies: ERIC, PsychInfo, and Web of Knowledge. We used the following search phases:

‘‘apprenticeship learning,’’ ‘‘undergraduate research,’’ ‘‘authentic science research,’’ and ‘‘science

apprenticeship.’’ We surveyed titles, sources, and abstracts of the hundreds of articles returned through the

searches. Only those articles which reported empirical results related to apprenticeship learning experiences

for secondary (i.e., MS and HS) and undergraduate students and teachers were included in the review. As

such, articles which described apprenticeship programs but did not report empirical evidence of their effects

(e.g., Rettig, Bunker, & Ruchti, 1990) were excluded. Likewise, articles which only presented theoretical

perspectives on science apprenticeships or offered position statements (e.g., Richmond, 1998) were not

included in the review. The database searches served as the primary means of identifying relevant literature;

mining bibliographies of the selected articles and examining proceedings of recent national meetings in

related disciplines were secondary strategies.

Following identification and review of the studies that met our criteria for inclusion, we engaged in an

inductive analysis of themes addressed in these reports. This process was consistent with inductive

approaches for analysis of qualitative data (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). We reviewed reports to produce a

taxonomy of outcomes explored in the original research and looked for common themes as well as similarities

and differences within these themes. Presentation of the review results will be structured around the themes of

this emergent taxonomy.

Results

Fifty-three reports of empirical research on research apprenticeships were identified and reviewed. The

earliest report was published in 1961 and the most recent in 2008 with the vast majority having been published

since 1996. Twenty reports focused on programs for secondary students (see Table 1); 22 focused on

undergraduate programs (see Table 2); and 11 focused on programs for teachers (see Table 3). The next three

sections briefly introduce studies corresponding to the three different audiences explored in our work

(secondary students, undergraduates, and teachers). These sections provide an overview of the programmatic

models used for these audiences as well as some of the methodological trends observed. These sections will

be followed by a presentation of the taxonomy of outcomes that we created as a means of organizing and

programs tend to take place in summer; although, one study examined a program conducted in an

academic year (Ritchie & Rigano, 1996). The extra-curricular programs are similar in structure and

format to programs for other audiences (i.e., undergraduates and teachers) in that they engage learners in

consistent research activities with mentorship over a sustained period of time. Most of the research

reports on programs developed for HS students (e.g., Stake & Mares, 2001); although one study investigates a

MS program (Barab & Hay, 2001) and two include MS and HS students (Hay & Barab, 2001; Lewis et al.,

2002). Faculty scientists serve as mentors in almost all of the programs, but one study highlights the role of

graduate students as mentors (Bleicher, 1996) and one program pairs teams of students with a scientist and a

practicing teacher (Barab & Hay, 2001). Some programs are designed so that students work as single

apprentices within a laboratory (e.g., Bell, Blair, Crawford, & Lederman, 2003), and others use a group

format (e.g., Lewis et al., 2002). Some of the programs focus exclusively on a single area of research (e.g.,

molecular genetics; Charney et al., 2007), while many provide opportunities across several scientific

disciplines.

The reports detailing extra-curricular apprenticeship programs for secondary students used a variety of

research methods. Six articles develop and report case studies or other in-depth, qualitative analyses that

focus on a relatively small number of subjects (Bell et al., 2003; Bleicher, 1996; Grindstaff & Richmond,

2008; Hay & Barab, 2001; Richmond & Kurth, 1999; Ritchie & Rigano, 1996). Two studies use the Views of

the Nature of Science (VNOS; Lederman, Abd-El-Khalick, Bell, & Schwartz, 2002) instrument to assess

changes in student ideas regarding NOS (Bell et al., 2003; Charney et al., 2007). Another report uses

qualitative techniques to document the extent to which apprentice learners enact elements of a framework for

‘‘participatory science’’ (Barab & Hay, 2001). We also review three studies (Abraham, 2002; Lewis et al.,

2002; Templin, Engemann, & Doran, 1999) which use qualitative data, but their analysis techniques are not

fully elaborated. Finally, five studies make use of several different quantitative measures and standard

statistical procedures (Charney et al., 2007; Cooley & Bassett, 1961; Davis, 1999; Stake & Mares, 2001,

2005).

SSP provide opportunities for MS and HS science classes to work on research projects established by

practicing scientists. The key feature of most of these programs is that students work with their teachers to

collect and report data for use in scientific research programs (Lawless & Rock, 1998). The research projects

tend to be long-term efforts that require data collection at widely distributed sites. They also tend to leverage

technology to facilitate communication between students and scientists (Means, 1998). Scientist

involvement in SSP can range from very limited (e.g., advisory role in the design of the project) to quite

extensive (e.g., working with students as they learn data collection techniques). Example SSP programs

include Forest Watch and Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE). Because

SSP programs have a structure so different from the other programs included within this review, we have

chosen to discuss findings associated with SSP separately and will present these analyses following

discussion of results from other programs.

Programs for Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate apprenticeships offered the greatest number of research and evaluation reports (22). The

programs featured in these reports varied greatly in terms of structural elements like duration, ranging from 8

weeks (Foertsch, Alexander, & Penberthy, 1997) to over 2 years (Nagda, Gregerman, Jonides, von Hippel, &

Lerner, 1998), and content (all major scientific disciplines were represented). Most of the reports associated

with undergraduate apprenticeship programs rely on student self-reports of learning outcomes. These self-

reported data are derived from interviews or surveys, many of which are not supported with reliability and

validity data. Some of the reports also make use of data from interviews or surveys with faculty mentors to

corroborate results from the student sources (Hunter, Laursen, & Seymour, 2007; Kardash, 2000; Ryder &

Leach, 1999; Sabatini, 1997). Four of the 22 undergraduate reports used other types of instruments with the

intent of providing more direct measures of specific learning outcomes (Berkes, 2007; Berkes &

Hogrebe, 2007; Nagda et al., 1998; Rauckhorst, Czaja, & Baxter Magolda, 2001). Two of the studies that

are actually two reports from the same longitudinal project are presented with strong theoretical and

methodological frameworks (Hunter et al., 2007; Seymour, Hunter, Laursen, & Deantoni, 2004), but we

had concerns related to the theory and methods of some of the other studies. Most of the reports

suggest general trends for undergraduate apprenticeships (e.g., apprenticeship experiences have a positive

effect on a specified outcome), but on the whole there is little discussion of processes, mechanisms, or degrees

of effect.

Before proceeding to the overview of teacher apprenticeship programs, we provide some results from

Russell’s (2006; briefly summarized in Russell, Hancock, & McCullough, 2007) recent evaluation of

undergraduate research opportunities for the NSF. This work provides the broadest survey of undergraduate

research activities to date and provides a sense of how prevalent these opportunities are. Russell analyzed data

from 4,560 undergraduates involved in a variety of NSF-sponsored research opportunities. Surveys were also

collected from 2,140 science faculty and 822 graduate students and postdoctoral associates involved with

mentoring undergraduate researchers in NSF-sponsored programs. In addition, Russell and her colleagues

examined data collected through nationally representative samples of science, technology, engineering, and

mathematics (STEM) majors and social, behavioral, and economic science (SBES) majors. Based on the

nationally representative surveys, Russell reported that 53% of all STEM majors and 52% of SBES majors

engaged in some form of independent or mentored research activities during their undergraduate careers.

These proportions are notably large especially considering that only 7% of the STEM majors indicated

participation in research programs sponsored by the major national agencies, which facilitate undergraduate

research (NSF, NASA, NIH, Department of Energy, etc.). This disparity suggests that the vast majority of

undergraduate research in the sciences takes place through local or informal channels. Participation in

research opportunities varied widely by discipline. For example, only 34% of mathematics majors engaged in

research, but 72% of chemistry majors conducted independent research. Across STEM fields, undergraduate

students from backgrounds underrepresented in the sciences participated at levels equal to or greater than the

groups’ representations in the US population as a whole. Undergraduate researchers were disproportionately

upper division (3rd or 4th year) students who were high achievers and maintained high grade point averages.

The majority of participants had expressed interest in the study of science and science careers during

childhood.

Programs for Teachers

We review 11 articles and reports, which highlight research associated with scientific apprenticeships

for pre-service and in-service science teachers. Similar to the undergraduate research, much of the data in this

body of literature is self-reported by the participants through interviews or surveys. Apprenticeship programs

for teachers tend to follow one of two models: summer programs and pre-service courses. The summer

program model consists of a 1- to 2-month experience during which teachers partner with a working scientist

in order to complete a research project. Seven reports documenting teacher programs followed a summer

program model (Boser, Faires, Slawson, & Stevenson, 1988; Buck, 2003; Dresner & Worley, 2006; Pyle et al.,

1997; Raphael, Tobias, & Greenberg, 1999; Varelas, House, & Wenzel, 2005; Westerlund, Garcia, Koke,

Taylor, & Mason, 2002). One of these programs includes pre-service teachers in addition to in-service

LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH RESEARCH APPRENTICESHIPS 241

Journal of Research in Science Teaching

teachers (Pyle et al., 1997), and one is geared entirely toward pre-service teachers (Raphael et al., 1999).

The other five studies involve only in-service teachers.

The other model for teacher apprenticeships involved formal courses for pre-service teachers (Brown &

Melear, 2007; Melear, Goodlaxon, Warne, & Hickok, 2000; Schwartz, Lederman, & Crawford, 2004; Yen &

Huang, 1998). These courses typically last for one semester. One study involves courses with individualized

research projects (Brown & Melear, 2007), and others group students for work on common projects (Melear

et al., 2000; Yen & Huang, 1998). The goal of programs following both of these models is to equip teachers

with an understanding of and a capability to conduct science research that will transfer to their science

classrooms.

OUTCOMESCareer Aspirations

A goal of nearly all science apprenticeship programs for students is to encourage participants to consider

careers in science. Promoting career aspirations in the sciences is the most frequently reported variable across

the studies reviewed. Within this grouping we include studies that address student interest in science careers,

effects on undergraduate retention, intentions to pursue graduate school in the sciences, and preparation for

careers in the sciences.

Three reports associated with programs for secondary students assert that the research experiences

increased student interest in science careers (Abraham, 2002; Cooley & Bassett, 1961; Davis, 1999). The

Davis study is noteworthy because of its specific focus on minority students and its attempt to address the

well-documented problem of the under-representation of minorities within the sciences. In their work with an

apprenticeship program that catered to highly motivated secondary students with expressed interests in

science, Stake and Mares (2001) document patterns of redistribution of career aspirations. Most of the

participants began the program with scientific career aspirations, but the experience introduced more career

options within science. In this case, the authors report a significant shift away from medicine toward other

opportunities in science.

Nagda et al. (1998) report that research programs had positive impacts on retention of undergraduates in

science majors particularly among African American students. Several studies reported positive effects of

apprenticeship opportunities on undergraduates’ desire to go to graduate school (Alexander, Foertsch, &

Daffinrud, 1998; Hackett, Croissant, & Schneider, 1992; Russell, 2006), perceived preparation to attend

graduate school (Hunter et al., 2007; Nnadozie, Ishiyama, & Chon, 2001; Sabatini, 1997; Seymour et al.,

2004), decisions on where to attend graduate school (Russell, 2006) and understandings of the purpose and

results of graduate school (Ward, Bennett, & Bauer, 2002).

Three reports documented a correlation between participation in undergraduate apprenticeship

programs and matriculation to graduate programs (Bauer & Bennett, 2003; Foertsch et al., 1997; Hathaway,

Nagda, & Gregerman, 2002). Lopatto’s (2004) study involving a large sample (n¼ 1,135) presents a slightly

different picture. Over half of the respondents reported that they intended to study science at the graduate

level prior to their summer research experiences and that these experiences did not affect their decisions. For

27% of the sample, the apprenticeship confirmed their prior plans to attend graduate school; 3.5%

reported that the experience made them more likely to attend graduate school; and 4.7% decided against

graduate school because of the experience. These data raise important questions about the actual outcomes of

research apprenticeships. Are they serving important roles for increasing participation in science graduate

programs or are they primarily serving students who have already decided to pursue graduate degrees in the

sciences?

Some of the reviewed studies address the effect of apprenticeships on career decisions independent of

plans for graduate school. Russell’s (2006) survey work asks students to rate how their research experiences

increase or decrease their interest in scientific research careers. While 67% of the respondents suggest that

their experiences serve to increase their interest in scientific research careers, 21% report decreased interest.

Interestingly, only 8% report decreased interest in STEM careers. Russell explains these results by suggesting

that many respondents reject career paths in scientific research but maintain a desire to be involved in another

form of science. Seventeen percent of the respondents declare that ‘‘research is not for me’’ (p. 19). Sabatini

(1997) and Hunter et al. (2007) suggest that participants come to a better understanding of scientific

disciplines, thereby, better preparing them for careers in the sciences. Russell (2006) also documents student

gains in their understandings of STEM disciplines and career options.

Other studies reported that apprenticeship programs helped students confirm and clarify their decisions

to pursue scientific careers (Gonzalez-Espada & LaDue, 2006; Hunter et al., 2007; Seymour et al., 2004).

Campbell’s (2002) work explored ways in which apprenticeship research experiences prepared women for

success in science careers. Her results suggest that interactions with mentors and encouragement to engage in

practices central to the community of science such as presenting at scientific conferences positively affected

female undergraduate’s interest in and preparation for science careers.

Nature of Science

Apprenticeship programs are often touted as effective vehicles for learning about the NOS. The basic

argument is that opportunities to work with scientists offer new perspectives on how science is done and the

nature of scientific knowledge. This argument is based on an implicit model of NOS learning. That is, learners

will gain sophisticated understandings of NOS by virtue of participating in authentic science activities

without instruction dedicated to the realization of this goal. Many science education researchers have

challenged the notion that implicit approaches for teaching about NOS results in meaningful learning

(e.g., Lederman, 2007). These critics have argued that explicit approaches that support learner development

of sophisticated NOS ideas through targeted instruction and learner reflection are more likely to result in NOS

learning. It is possible to partner apprenticeship experiences with explicit NOS instruction, but only one of the

studies in this section incorporated an explicit approach (Schwartz et al., 2004). The remaining 19 reports

relied on implicit models of NOS instruction.

Some of the earliest work in this area reported that secondary students’ understandings of NOS

significantly improved over the course of a research apprenticeship (Cooley & Bassett, 1961). In their

discussion, the authors suggest that students adopted more ‘‘realist’’ perspectives on science. Realism as

discussed here was used in a manner consistent with positivist notions of science as a means of understanding

the real and absolute character of nature. Charney et al. (2007) also report improvements in NOS

understandings among secondary students participating in an apprenticeship program. These authors suggest

that student ideas moved away from realist positions on NOS and toward a perspective on science that valued

the tentative NOS. We found it interesting although not surprising given the varying landscape of NOS

research over the last five decades that both sets of authors report significant improvements in NOS

understandings and yet describe the progression of ideas in different directions.

Other studies explore specific themes subsumed by the NOS construct. Here, we break down empirical

results relative to these specific themes. The most well-supported NOS theme related to the complexity of

scientific research and the associated uncertainty of the research process. Hunter et al. (2007) whose research

design made use of in-depth interviews found that undergraduate student researchers developed

understandings of the inherent ‘‘messiness’’ of science and came to appreciate how tedious the actual

work of science could become. Ryder and Leach (1999) supported these findings in their interview-based

study of undergraduates engaged in year-long research experiences. Participants developed more

sophisticated understandings of the complexity of scientific research, the need for persistence and patience

throughout research, and the uncertainty of scientific data. In a companion report, Ryder, Leach, and Driver

(1999) also discuss students’ growing appreciation for data quality in terms of accurateness and precision.

Researchers also empirically documented secondary students gaining more sophisticated under-

standings of the complexity and uncertainty of scientific research (Bleicher, 1996; Richmond & Kurth, 1999;

Ritchie & Rigano, 1996). Apprenticeship participants came to understand the importance of accurate and

valid data (Richmond & Kurth, 1999) as well as the difficulty of obtaining these ideal data sets under less-

than-ideal conditions (Barab & Hay, 2001). Secondary learners developed a greater appreciation for the time

and persistence required to do good research and the attention to detail required (Bleicher, 1996; Ritchie &

Rigano, 1996).

Research associated with teacher programs revealed similar trends. In Yen and Huang’s (1998) study,

teachers participating in a summer apprenticeship program initially viewed scientific research as a relatively

static process of following established procedures. By the end of the experience, these participants had

developed much more nuanced views of cycles of experimental repetition and modification. The pre-service

teachers in an apprenticeship program following the course model show similar gains in terms of more

sophisticated ideas about the evolution of experiments and research questions within a research program

(Melear et al., 2000). In another summer program, teacher participants report coming to see science as a process

that is nonlinear and messy (Varelas et al., 2005). Brown and Melear (2007) document the significance of

teacher involvement in the development and design of research as a mediating factor for gains in NOS.

In their work with a program for secondary students, Richmond and Kurth (1999) document growth in

student understandings related to the social NOS. This work suggests that students gained new insights

related to the role of collaboration within the community of science and the importance of discourse as a key

tool in advancing research. These findings related to students’ understandings of discourse within science.

The authors also discuss changes in actual discourse practices, but this will be discussed in a section that

follows.

Much has been written about the scientific method and whether or not such a thing exists (e.g.,

McComas, 1996). Hay and Barab’s (2001) work is based on the assumption that there is a general process

followed in most scientific investigations and that student understanding of this process is an important

learning outcome. They conclude that in the cases they investigate, students gained knowledge about the

scientific method; that is, students were better able to explain the scientific method as a process. However,

they documented no differences in student abilities to actually apply the scientific method. In contrast to the

work of Hay and Barab, Bell et al. (2003) base their work on a framework that positions ‘‘the scientific

method’’ as a naı̈ve, overly restrictive view of how science is actually practiced. Of the 10 students who

participated in the 8-week apprenticeship program featured in this report, only 3 showed evidence of

developing more sophisticated ideas about the lack of a unitary scientific method.

Bell et al. (2003) also explored other NOS constructs aligned with the dominant framework for NOS at

least within the science education literature. This framework prioritizes NOS ideas such as the relationship

between theories and laws, the tentativeness of science, and the role of creativity in science. Data from this

study are derived from pre- to post-administrations of the VNOS-B, interviews, and field observations and

notes. Unlike many of the other studies in this section, these results suggest very limited changes in students’

understandings of NOS resulting from an apprenticeship experience with one exception. A single student who

demonstrated reflective practice far beyond that which was observed in the other students made noticeable

gains. This student also benefited from interaction with a mentor who explicitly addressed some of the desired

NOS constructs (e.g., the significance of multiple theories in a specific area of investigation). The growth of

this student and her individual context shed interesting light on the distinction between implicit and explicit

approaches to NOS instruction associated with apprenticeship experiences. The overall program featured in

the Bell et al. (2003) article followed an implicit model (i.e., learning experiences were not designed to

specifically promote student learning of targeted NOS themes). However, the one student who demonstrated

gains benefited from a mentor who provided support for development of some NOS themes, and the student

actively reflected on her experiences and their relation to the scientific enterprise in a manner consistent with

current recommendations for explicit NOS instruction.

Hunter et al. (2007) documented gains made by undergraduate apprentices related to the complexity of

science, but this is a relatively low level gain compared to many of the philosophical and sociological ideas

advanced by NOS educators such as the evolution of scientific thought over time and the social embeddedness

of science. Hunter et al. (2007) suggested that students showed very limited gains with respect to these more

complex NOS themes. This result is consistent with the findings of Buck (2003) who explored the

development of NOS ideas of teachers involved in an authentic research apprenticeship. Participants

showed no gains in NOS as measured by the Beliefs About Science and School Science Questionnaire

(BASSSQ).

Ryder et al. (1999) presented mixed results. Students showed gains in appreciating the significant link

between scientific knowledge claims and empirical data, but they maintained naı̈ve views relative to the

significance of social processes ‘‘in terms of their effect on the validation of knowledge claims; and . . . on the

direction of lines of scientific enquiry’’ (p. 215). In one sense, the apprenticeship experiences appeared to lead

students toward undesirable NOS conceptualizations: ‘‘Students in our sample tended to view knowledge

claims in science as provable beyond doubt using empirical data alone . . . this finding gives us particular

cause for concern’’ (p. 214). Although not addressing the same NOS theme, Sabatini (1997) reported that

244 SADLER ET AL.

Highlight

apprenticeship experiences did help student researchers develop more sophisticated ideas related to a higher

level NOS target outcome. Sabatini concluded that students developed more sophisticated understandings of

the nature of scientific theories and laws as a result of their apprenticeship experiences.

Schwartz et al. (2004) present a study of apprenticeship with the incorporation of an explicit

instructional model. Schwartz et al. use the VNOS in connection with semi-structured interviews to

determine if 13 pre-service teachers make gains in NOS understandings as they are involved in a course that

features apprenticeship. This course consists of three primary components: a research setting, the use of

journals and seminars specifically addressing NOS. The authors report gains in 11 of the 13 participants and

highlight the explicit nature of NOS instruction featured within the program. They suggest that the seminar

and reflective journal features of the course were most instrumental in the teachers’ development of NOS

ideas. The research settings provided experiences on which the participants could reflect, but explicit

instruction and not apprenticeship alone was the key influence on the teachers’ ideas.

Scientific Content Knowledge

An assumption of many apprenticeship programs is that extended research experiences will promote

more robust understandings of scientific ideas and principles. Scientific content knowledge is one of the few

variables explored across programs for all three target audiences (secondary students, undergraduates, and

teachers). Unfortunately, many of these reports do not provide enough evidence related to the validity of their

measures and associated findings.

Several reports document participant perceptions of their own knowledge gains as a result of

apprenticeship experiences for secondary students (Abraham, 2002), undergraduates (Kardash, 2000;

Sabatini, 1997; Seymour et al., 2004), and teachers (Boser et al., 1988; Brown & Melear, 2007; Buck, 2003;

Raphael et al., 1999). Hunter et al. (2007) support the Seymour et al. findings with responses from faculty

mentors who confirm that student researchers tend to make significant content gains. Lewis et al. (2002) also

used faculty mentor interviews to corroborate content knowledge gains perceived by student participants. In

this report, mentors generally agreed that students displayed ‘‘adequate’’ acquisition of content.

Two other studies relied on more direct measures of content knowledge gains. Cooley and Bassett (1961)

used multiple instruments to assess secondary students’ content knowledge before and after a 10-week

apprenticeship. The results reveal statistically significant improvements in student understanding of scientific

content, but as reviewers we have lingering questions about the construct validity of the instruments used to

assess content knowledge (viz., do the instruments assess content knowledge developed in the context of

apprenticeship experiences). Charney et al. (2007) offer the most well-designed pre/post-study of content

knowledge. In their study of 30 HS students engaged in a 4-week apprenticeship program, they documented

significantly increased discipline-specific content knowledge as measured through open-ended essay

questions from AP biology exams.

While all of these studies report positive increases in content knowledge, none provide a well-

documented account of the quantity of learning. In other words, how much content are students learning in

these experiences? In a case study presented by Bleicher (1996), the student participant shows some evidence

of learning, but detailed analysis of the student’s products reveals limited growth of conceptual

understanding, far more limited than the program developers had intended. In contrast, Ritchie and Rigano

(1996) document student apprentices developing sophisticated chemistry knowledge during their

experiences in a working laboratory. This work is based on the experiences of only two students, but the

methods allow for very detailed analyses of these experiences. The authors suggest that conceptual gains

resulted only after the students had spent enough time immersed in the culture of their particular laboratory

group and had attained the technological skills necessary to function competently within the lab. It should be

noted that these students spent approximately 6 months working in these apprenticeships unlike many of the

apprenticeship programs for HS students which tend to last only weeks.

Grindstaff and Richmond (2008) study the social construction of knowledge among HS peers working

together in a summer research program. They provide detailed analyses of the social-cognitive, social-

technological, and social-emotional supports provided by peers. Two of their findings offer important insights

for our summary of learning content knowledge through research experiences: (1) Not surprisingly, some HS

students struggle to understand the high-level research science. In the words of one participant: ‘‘[I] feel like a

kindergartner trying to learn calculus . . . If I understand 50%, that might be overstating it a bit.’’ (2) However,

for those students whose peer interactions supported explicit discussions of their emergent findings and

interpretations, conceptual understanding of the underlying science content was promoted.

Confidence and Self-Efficacy

Several studies explored the extent to which participants’ confidence to engage in science changes as a

result of apprenticeship experiences. Templin, Engemann, and Doran (1999) report increased confidence for

doing science, documented through interviews, among secondary students participating in a summer

research program. Using a pre/post-survey instrument to assess confidence in science, Stake and Mares

(2001) did not find statistically significant changes among HS students participating in a 6-week program.

However, these same students self-report that their research experiences changed their feelings about science.

The students report improved confidence and beliefs in their abilities to do science. In a subsequent report,

Stake and Mares (2005) explore attitudinal changes which they operationalize in terms of motivation for a

science career and self-confidence in science. In immediate post-experience surveys, the sample does not

show significant increases in attitudes toward science; however, in follow-up surveys administered 3 months

after the program’s conclusion, the researchers document significant gains. The authors argue that student

perceptions of the benefits of summer research opportunities are positively mediated by experiences students

have after returning to their schools. This leads them to conclude that ‘‘the full impact of science-

enhancement programs on science attitudes has been underestimated in previous research when follow-up

measures were not included’’ (p. 373).

Several studies associated with undergraduate apprenticeship programs also report increases in student

confidence with respect to their ability to do scientific research (Kardash, 2000; Lopatto, 2003; Russell, 2006;

Ward et al., 2002). Whereas these studies document changes in confidence by means of surveys, the Seymour

group (Seymour et al., 2004; Hunter et al., 2007) explored changes in confidence through in-depth interviews.

The interviewers do not directly prompt participants to discuss confidence, but 67% of the student

participants reported increased confidence relative to doing research and/or ‘‘feeling like a scientist.’’

Three reports associated with teacher apprenticeship programs address changes in confidence. The

general result is that teachers feel more confident in their abilities to do science as well as teach science as a

result of having actually experienced it first hand through apprenticeship programs. In one study, 70% of the

participants claim that their confidence increased as a result of their involvement in a summer program (Boser

et al., 1988). Dresner and Worley (2006) discuss how increases in content knowledge and field skills lead to an

increase in confidence among the participants. These authors argue that increases in confidence levels result

in a transfer of science research methods from the apprenticeship program to the classes where they teach or

will teach in the future. Pyle et al. (1997) report that pre-service teachers in a summer research program feel

more empowered to conduct authentic science research in their future classrooms as a result of their increased

confidence acquired during their apprenticeship.

Confidence and self-efficacy are not entirely equivalent constructs, but they are closely related so we

have chosen to include investigations of both variables within a common section. Whereas confidence is a

general term representing a broad set of frameworks, self-efficacy more specifically references an

individual’s belief in his/her own competence. Berkes and Hogrebe (2007) frame their investigation of

scientific apprenticeship experiences for undergraduates in terms of self-efficacy. They used two established

instruments to assess the development self-efficacy among 71 biology majors with varying amounts of

mentored research experiences ranging from no experience to extensive experience over several years: the

Laboratory Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (Britner, 2002) and the College Biology Self-Efficacy Scale (Baldwin,

Ebert-May, & Burns, 1999). Berkes and Hogrebe conclude that self-efficacy in science is positively

correlated with time spent working in research laboratories. In follow-up work, Berkes (2007) builds a very

detailed case study of an entire biology research laboratory including undergraduates, graduate students,

postdoctoral associates, and a senior faculty member. Berkes traces the development of science self-efficacy

among the undergraduates and identifies context specific practices that influence this process. In her

conclusions, she posits the development of self-efficacy as a mechanism for many of the presumed benefits of

undergraduate research. We found this to be an interesting hypothesis but one that requires additional

evidence to fully substantiate.

Intellectual Development

Another common claim among apprenticeship program designers and administrators is that these

opportunities foster intellectual development. Various authors have framed the investigation of intellectual

development in different ways including critical thinking and scientific reasoning. The common theme

among these investigations is the suggestion that engagement in authentic scientific inquiry can foster

development of thinking, reasoning, and intellect. Seymour et al. (2004) and Hunter et al. (2007) which both

stem from the same longitudinal research program associated with undergraduate apprenticeship experiences

report that students cite intellectual development as a key outcome of apprenticeship experiences. Rauckhorst

et al. (2001) use the Measure of Epistemological Beliefs (Baxter Magolda, 1992) to assess intellectual

development of undergraduates participating in a research program. Baxter Magolda’s Epistemological

Reflection Model which posits four successive stages from ‘‘absolute knowing’’ to ‘‘contextual knowing’’

served as the framework. Rauckhorst and his colleagues found that students in an apprenticeship program

demonstrated significant movement from the ‘‘transitional knowing’’ stage to the ‘‘independent knowing’’

stage, the model’s two intermediate stages. This intellectual development was documented among students

engaged in apprenticeship learning significantly more often than peers in a comparison group who did not

have these kinds of experiences.

Ryder and Leach (1999) are also interested in intellectual development and frame their investigation in

terms of scientific reasoning. Ryder and Leach work with 11 undergraduates engaged in academic year-long

mentored research experiences and explore scientific reasoning practices about data and knowledge claims.

Their case study analyses of students as they engaged in research activities suggest that students who engage

in epistemically demanding aspects of scientific research such as developing research questions and

testing theory with empirical evidence did show gains in scientific reasoning. However, students whose

research experiences were dominated by less epistemically demanding tasks such as collecting data

according to well-established protocols failed to show progress in their reasoning practices.

Hay and Barab (2001) offer the only study of intellectual development in the context of apprenticeship

programs for secondary students. Their investigation compares the outcomes of two summer science

enrichment experiences. One ‘‘camp’’ is based on an apprenticeship model consistent with other reports

discussed in this section. The other experience was a ‘‘constructionist camp’’ in which students modeled

scientific phenomena. Researchers explored critical thinking through naturalistic inquiry of student practices

based on analyses of observations, video and artifacts. Students in the constructionist camp demonstrated

many incidents of critical and creative thinking, but the authors did not document any incidents in which the

apprenticeship camp participants demonstrated critical or creative thinking. The authors suggest that given

the limited time frame (2 weeks) for the apprenticeship camp, students were assigned projects by their

mentors and had few opportunities to exercise the kind of critical thinking central to research design. Given

that most summer apprenticeship programs do not involve students in the design of research questions and

strategies, this result challenges the assumption that research experiences provide likely contexts for

intellectual development at least in terms of critical thinking.

Skills

Several reports suggest that learners may gain a variety of skills through research experiences. Many of

these studies use surveys that ask student researchers to report the extent to which they believe specific skills

have improved; although there are exceptions (e.g., Bell et al., 2003; Seymour et al., 2004). Various authors

have chosen to operationalize skills in different manners using varying levels of specificity. After examining

the primary reports, we consolidated many categories and created a summary classification. The skill

categories that we created are research process, communication (including oral and written skills), technical

skills (e.g., using laboratory equipment), computer skills, teamwork, working independently, information

retrieval, understanding primary literature, teamwork, scientific ethics, and statistical skills. Most of these

categories are fairly straightforward: apprenticeship participants perceived themselves as becoming more

adept at computing and interpreting statistics, retrieving information from databases and libraries, giving oral

presentations, and working independently. We use the category ‘‘research process’’ to capture a variety of

practices that were highlighted across various studies. Some authors chose to frame this skill very generically;

LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH RESEARCH APPRENTICESHIPS 247

whereas, others specified aspects of the research process including forming research questions, formulating

hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting data, and analyzing data. The ‘‘teamwork’’ category

references students learning how to work as a part of a larger team. Table 5 identifies reports, which conclude

that research experiences promote more advanced practice in particular skill areas. It should be noted that

readers should not assume increasing significance based on the number of reports that document gains in a

certain skill or understanding. Representation of skills and understandings is largely based on what the

authors chose to ask in their surveys.

Russell (2006) administered follow-up surveys to participants of NSF-sponsored undergraduate

research experiences approximately 3 years following the initial experience. Respondents were asked to

comment on the current utility of skills gained during the mentored research. Seventy-five percent of the

respondents including individuals engaged in graduate studies and careers both in and out of science reported

that the skills they gained through their research experiences were useful in their current positions.

Satisfaction

An obvious trend across the literature addressing undergraduate apprenticeship programs was high

participant satisfaction with their research experiences. Most participants who were asked to comment on

their experiences presented positive appraisals and cited numerous perceived benefits. Given that respondents

choose to participate in these programs, it is not surprising that many express positive appraisals, but the high

rates of satisfaction are noteworthy. Reported rates for general satisfaction were all very high: 90%—

Foertsch et al. (1997); 87%—Lopatto (2004); 99%—Rauckhorst et al. (2001); 94%—Russell (2006); 91%—

Seymour et al. (2004). Almost half of the respondents in Russell’s survey of participants in NSF-sponsored

programs suggested that their research experience was ‘‘one of the best experiences of my life’’ (p. 17). Bauer

and Bennett (2003) surveyed alumni from a single institution. The alumni with research experiences reported

significantly greater overall growth and satisfaction with their college experience than their peers who had not

participated in research.

Discourse Practices

Several studies of apprenticeship programs for secondary students address discourse practices. Some of

the research documents ways in which research apprenticeships provide opportunities for students to learn

about and develop discourse practices consistent with standards of the scientific community (Barab & Hay,

2001; Charney et al., 2007). Bleicher (1996) discusses how a student researcher comes to appropriate the

discourse style of his graduate student mentors. Here, style represents vocabulary and format, but this work

does not deal with more substantive elements of discourse practices such as standards of evidence. In the

earlier section on NOS we reported on Richmond and Kurth’s (1999) findings that students came to recognize

the significance of collaboration and discourse as a part of science. This research also documented changing

patterns of practice. Students appropriated scientific terminology as a means of efficiently communicating

complex processes. This process stands in sharp contrast to students memorizing vocabulary as a precursor to

exploring underlying content. Richmond and Kurth provide an example of how student researchers come to

use language as a tool for their research rather than an abstracted learning objective. Interestingly, Lewis et al.

(2002) suggest that their study participants’ lack of appropriation of technical language significantly hindered

their abilities to appropriately convey the meaning of experimental findings.

Collaboration

One outcome of interest associated with several apprenticeship programs for teachers is the extent to

which these experiences foster collaboration. Collaboration is documented among teachers (Dresner &

Worley, 2006; Melear et al., 2000) and also between teachers and scientists (Yen & Huang, 1998; Raphael

et al., 1999). Yen and Huang (1998) report teachers feeling more enthusiastic about science because of their

collaborations with scientists. Melear et al. (2000) present a similar finding in work with pre-service teachers

who rely on each other and their scientist mentors to navigate their research activities. Varelas et al. (2005)

describe the ‘‘community of practice’’ that emerges in these experiences and explores the tension between the

need for collaboration and individual freedom. One of the benefits of extended collaborations between

teachers and scientists is increased communication between the parties as teachers plan their instruction

(Westerlund et al., 2002).

Changes in Teacher Practices

A common goal for teacher apprenticeship programs is for the experiences to change teacher practices in

their classrooms. Several reports explored this outcome with varying results. In two studies, teachers report

modifying lessons and lab activities to include more authentic science research following their apprenticeship

(Buck, 2003; Dresner & Worley, 2006), but no direct measures or observations of teacher practice are made.

Westerlund et al. (2002) document teacher implementation of inquiry-based teaching following apprentice-

ships through classroom observations. Other researchers document the difficulty of transferring scientific

research experiences to classrooms. In one study, teachers report no changes in the types of activities they

perform with their students in the year following a summer apprenticeship program (Boser et al., 1988). One

of the pre-service teachers involved in a graduate level apprenticeship course reports that she believes that the

science research conducted during the experience cannot be leveraged to transform classroom practices

(Brown & Melear, 2007). Lack of time, equipment, and financial resources are cited as factors limiting effects

on classroom practices.

Other Findings

Additional findings associated with reports on undergraduate apprenticeship programs deserve attention

but do not fit well in the categories identified above. Hunter et al. (2007) relied on interviews with both

students and their faculty mentors. They found a great deal of concordance between the two groups in terms of

identifying the range of benefits accrued for the students. However, the students and mentors framed these

benefits differently. The students conceptualized their gains primarily in terms of personal growth and

intellectual development. In contrast, the mentors emphasized development of behaviors and habits of mind

consistent with the culture of science. Faculty framed student gains in terms of socialization into professional

science and students thought more in terms of their own personal edification.

Russell (2006) also reports three specific findings that do not fit well into the outcome categories

described above. Two of the three results are supported by other work as well. While the findings themselves

are not very surprising, they have important implications for the design and implementation of apprenticeship

experiences. (1) Undergraduate researchers’ levels of involvement was positively correlated with the

LEARNING SCIENCE THROUGH RESEARCH APPRENTICESHIPS 249

students’ satisfaction with the experiences and perceptions of gains. Students more fully immersed in the

culture of science as evidenced by activities such as participating in scientific conferences, authoring papers,

and mentoring less experienced researchers, tended to report more positive perceptions than their less-

involved peers (Campbell, 2002; Russell, 2006). This finding underscores the significance of Ponjuan,

McKinney, Waltrip, and Sadler’s (2007) work relative to the immersion of students from underrepresented

groups in research activities. In this program evaluation, Ponjuan and colleagues found that students of color

were every bit as immersed in the culture of science as their peers within the program. However, women

reported significantly less involvement than their male counterparts, a finding which highlights the need for

explicit attention to the participatory patterns of target groups. (2) Duration of student research experiences

was positively correlated with satisfaction and intentions to attend graduate school. Students with

apprenticeship experiences sustained over multiple semesters tended to demonstrate stronger outcomes as

compared to students with more limited opportunities such as single summer programs which happens to be a

very popular model for undergraduate research (Bauer & Bennett, 2003; Berkes & Hogrebe, 2007; Russell,

2006). (3) Russell’s survey included an open-ended item requesting suggestions for improving undergraduate

research experiences. The most common responses to this item were to increase the quantity of and enhance

the quality of faculty mentoring. Despite the great variability associated with student experiences in

apprenticeship environments, a very large percentage of the sample was united in their desire for improved

mentorship on the part of science faculty.

Student–Scientist Partnerships

As alluded to earlier, SSP programs offer an alternative model to science apprenticeship experiences for

secondary students and teachers. These programs provide opportunities for MS and HS classes to work on

ongoing research projects. Students and teacher involvement in these programs usually entails collecting data

and adding these data to larger data sets for more global analyses. We have chosen to include analysis of

reports related to SSP because they represent a popular model for partnering learners with scientists and

offering learners opportunities to engage in authentic scientific inquiry, but we present these results separately

because of their unique structure and implementation as compared to programs featured above.

Authors have been enthusiastic about SSP as a vehicle for engaging students in science, enacting inquiry

(Rock & Lauten, 1996), and generating excitement about science (Fougere, 1998). Researchers have

documented that students in these programs can collect high quality data that can be used by practicing

scientists (Lawless & Rock, 1998). In some contexts, the authentic connection between students and scientific

research has been linked to positive affective outcomes. That is, students take pride in their work because they

believe it has purpose and is useful for ‘‘real scientists’’ (Means, 1998). While these reports cast a positive

light on SSP, empirical support for these claims is somewhat tenuous. The reports do not provide enough

detail to substantiate methodological rigor which necessarily limits the weight of their conclusions.

One study does provide a detailed discussion of research methodology; the findings generated in this

study challenge the effectiveness of SSP (Moss, Abrams, & Kull, 1998). This report presents longitudinal

case studies of seven HS students who participate in three overlapping SSP programs (Forest Watch and two

local programs) as a part of a year-long biology course. The primary outcome investigated if/how students

come to understand the ‘‘process by which scientific knowledge is constructed’’ (p. 149). The authors

conclude that student ideas about scientific processes and knowledge evolved very little. They also suggest

that students grew frustrated with the time-consuming and tedious nature of data collection. The students did

not participate in the generation of research questions, nor did they actively contribute to data analysis. This

partial involvement of student researchers seemed to promote apathy among the subjects. These results

highlight a central tension inherent to SSP programs: conflicting needs of scientists seeking high quality data

and teachers and students expecting high quality learning experiences. From the scientist perspective, it is

unrealistic to expect secondary classes to contribute to decisions concerning research design and complex

data analysis; however, constraining student participation to data collection, which often entails relatively

simple measurements, limits the educational value of the experience. In conclusion, descriptive accounts

of SSP programs have presented favorable images of these models of science education for secondary

learners, but the one systematic investigation of an SSP classroom suggests significant limitations in this

approach.

Summary of Results

A fairly large number of studies have examined the effects of science apprenticeship experiences for

secondary students, undergraduates, and teachers. The studies explore the experiences and learning gains

resulting from programs that provide opportunities for participants to work with practicing scientists.

Overall, the studies suggest that most students and teachers participating in science research apprentice-

ships tend to like the experiences and think that they confer important benefits. Russell’s (2006) large-scale

survey of undergraduates suggests that a relatively high percentage of students in STEM majors (53%)

participate in authentic research experiences. Although these data are not available for secondary

students and teachers, these groups are assuredly involved in apprenticeships with far less frequency. In

documenting specific learning gains associated with research apprenticeships, we identified several

categories that emerged from the literature. In the text that follows, we briefly review trends from each of the

categories.

The effects of apprenticeship programs on career aspirations were the focus of several studies in

secondary and undergraduate contexts. Documented patterns within this category include: (1) increased

interest in science careers, (2) increased retention in undergraduate science majors, (3) increased desire to

attend graduate school, and (4) positive correlations between participation in apprenticeship experiences and

matriculation to graduate school. However, some studies draw attention to the fact that students already

interested in science and/or committed to careers in science self-select to participate in apprenticeship

programs. This raises interesting questions regarding the extent to which these programs serve as recruiting

mechanisms to increase the ‘‘science pipeline’’versus providing enrichment activities for keeping students in

the ‘‘pipeline.’’ This is an important question for the designers of apprenticeship programs to consider as they

recruit participants.

NOS learning is a targeted outcome for many apprenticeship programs and a variable of interest for

several of the reviewed reports. Overall, the reports fairly consistently support the idea that participants

develop more sophisticated ideas about the time and persistence necessary for collecting high quality data and

the complexity and ‘‘messiness’’ of scientific research. However, more advanced ideas about NOS consistent

with the dominant framework for NOS within the science education community do not seem to be

significantly affected by apprenticeship experiences. The one exception to this trend (Schwartz et al., 2004)

suggests that explicit NOS instruction in conjunction with the apprenticeship experience was the critical

element in fostering participant growth in this area. Therefore, the typical model for apprenticeship programs

which is based on an assumption of implicit NOS instruction may promote student understandings of some

aspects of NOS such as complexity and rigor, but more abstract themes such as tentativeness and creativity

likely require more explicit instructional support.

Participant learning of scientific content knowledge is another theme that emerges frequently. All of the

reports that deal with this variable document some positive changes in participant understandings of science

content. However, the question of how much science is learned by participants is left largely unanswered. At

least one study questions the depth of understanding developed through these experiences (Bleicher, 1996)

while others document substantial depth of understanding (Richmond & Kurth, 1999; Ritchie & Rigano,

1996). These conflicting results suggest to us that specific features that vary across apprenticeship programs

likely afford and constrain outcomes such as scientific content knowledge. A number of studies also

document gains in participants’ confidence to conduct scientific research and/or self-efficacy relative to

science. An interesting hypothesis posited by one group working in undergraduate contexts (Berkes &

Hogrebe, 2007) that deserves additional attention positions changes in self-efficacy as a fundamental

mechanism for realizing other desired outcomes.

Several apprenticeship programs propose intellectual development as an important outcome. The one

study of secondary students that empirically explores this variable does not find improvements in critical

thinking, but it should be noted that the program was particularly short (2 weeks; Barab & Hay, 2001). Four

reports associated with undergraduate programs address intellectual development but frame the construct in

three different ways: epistemological beliefs, scientific reasoning, and general intellectual growth.

Collectively, these reports find that apprenticeship opportunities can support intellectual development

especially when participants are epistemically engaged in the research process.

Many studies document participant perceptions of improved skills resulting from apprenticeship

experiences. We group these skills in the following categories: research process, communication, technical

skills, computer skills, collaboration, working independently, information retrieval, understanding primary

literature, scientific ethics, and statistical skills. Four studies related to apprenticeship programs for

secondary students report that the experiences shape discourse practices.

An intended outcome of many science research programs for teachers is the development of

collaborations. Apprenticeship experiences have been shown to foster collaborations among teachers as well

as between teachers and scientists, and several reports postulate practical benefits resulting from these

relationships. Another common goal of apprenticeship programs for teachers is transformation of classroom

practices. Results of studies that explore this outcome are mixed. Participants in two programs report changes

in their classroom practices; an additional study documents changes in practice through classroom

observations. However, two other studies explore this variable and find no evidence of change.

Discussion and Implications

In examining the full body of literature related to science apprenticeships, we believe that researchers

have over-relied on the self-reports of participants as the basis for claims made in support of these programs.

The claims these data are used to support would be strengthened with documentation of the psychometric

features of the instruments used (in the studies using surveys)—a practice that few of the survey-based studies

completed. Reliability measures that identify instrument features such as internal consistency and test–retest

consistency need to be presented in order for audiences to better interpret and evaluate findings.

Similarly, we believe that researchers need to more clearly address validity issues. Some of the most

important variables of interest in analyses of apprenticeship programs such as NOS understandings, scientific

content knowledge and intellectual development are not most validly assessed through self-report data. We

recommend the use of more direct measures for these variables. Some of the work reviewed here does this and

therefore should be very carefully considered in the synthesis of findings particularly as compared to other

studies with less valid measures. For example, Schwartz et al. (2004) use the VNOS to assess NOS

understandings; Grindstaff and Richmond (2008) use direct observations to document discourse practices;

and Charney et al. (2007) use Advanced Placement exams to assess content knowledge. For other variables,

participant self-reports may provide the most valid data. For example, career aspirations and confidence in

science are well suited for self-reported data. However, even these variables which lend themselves to

exploration through self-reported data would benefit from work documenting the validity of these measures.

Such work could include longitudinal studies of individuals to document the extent to which self-reported

data on variables such as career aspirations in the midst of apprenticeship programs predict future practices

and behaviors.

While it is easy for us as reviewers to suggest use more of valid and reliable measures, the practice of

doing so is quite challenging. Apprenticeship programs target complex and difficult-to-measure constructs.

Consider, for example, the measurement of content knowledge. In a program that partners 20 students with

scientists, the range of content that might be learned is likely to be very broad. If the participants are assigned

to various disciplines, then the task of validly assessing content understandings related to the experience is

daunting. Even if participants are situated in a single department, the trend toward specialization within

scientific disciplines makes it likely that participants will be developing disparate understandings.

Three issues emerged across the studies reviewed that have immediate implications for the designers and

managers of scientific research apprenticeship programs. (1) The length of research experiences seems to be

an important determinant of participant learning gains. This issue was addressed directly by at least three

studies (Berkes & Hogrebe, 2007; Ritchie & Rigano, 1996; Russell, 2006) and is supported more indirectly

through comparisons of outcomes achieved in short programs (e.g., 2 weeks; Hay & Barab, 2001) and longer

programs (e.g., 7 weeks; Grindstaff & Richmond, 2008) with similar audiences (HS students in this case). As

one study stated (Ritchie & Rigano, 1996), it takes time for apprenticeship participants to feel comfortable

enough in their research settings to really understand the science being conducted. This finding encourages

program designers to consider ways of sustaining these experiences. Given the structure of most programs

designed for secondary students and teachers (i.e., summer or course-based programs), there are natural

constraints that would likely be difficult to circumvent. However, changes could be made in undergraduate

252 SADLER ET AL.

programs to encourage more extended research opportunities. For example, the majority of undergraduate

participants in apprenticeships do so as juniors and seniors. Engaging students in their 1st and 2nd years

provides immediate opportunities to expand participation. (2) Several reports suggest that the impact of

programs would be enhanced by supplementing research activities with elements that provide explicit

attention to desired learning outcomes (e.g., Bell et al., 2003; Grindstaff & Richmond, 2008; Schwartz et al.,

2004). Participants can learn skills and ideas implicitly through participation in a research group, but

supporting these experiences with activities specifically designed to help participants draw connections

between their experiences and emerging understandings can have even more powerful effects. (3) For many

of the anticipated outcomes such as critical thinking, NOS understandings, content knowledge, and discourse

practices, ensuring that participants are epistemically engaged in the research process is critical. Involving

students or teachers in ongoing research projects such that they follow established routines may be the most

practical way of engaging the relative novices. However, if the participants’ experiences do not evolve to

include a wider range of epistemically demanding practices such as data analysis, hypothesizing and

developing research questions, then learning gains on higher order outcomes will likely be limited. If the

primary aim of an apprenticeship program is to foster sophisticated understandings and practices, then length

of experience, instructional supports and opportunities to engage in epistemically demanding practices ought

to be prioritized design principles.

The evidence reviewed in this report provides support for many positive outcomes associated with

scientific research apprenticeships, but we believe the research base is far from complete. The most pressing

issue that we have raised is the need for greater methodological diversity. We recommend that the research

community critically explore ways in which more direct and valid measures of outcome variables can be used

in this kind of research. We also recommend that when surveys are constructed, used, and reported that

researchers attend much more critically to reliability and validity data for these instruments. As the field

moves forward, we see one area in particular in critical need of empirical attention. Much of the research

treats apprenticeship programs holistically without careful attention to specific programmatic elements

which may enhance or constrain participant experiences. We believe that finer grained analyses of specific

programmatic features would yield additional insights that might be leveraged by the agencies that fund these

projects as well as designers and managers who conceptualize and run these projects. Ultimately, the field’s

ability to build from these kinds of findings will lead to stronger programs and enhanced learning

opportunities.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Action 21 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Scott J. Bowers, Assistant Superintendent – Human Resources SUBJECT: Management Reorganization and Reclassifications STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Staff Recruitment and Development RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board approve the addition of the three new positions and the reclassification for seven positions, indicated below, effective July 1, 2015. The attached revised organizational chart reflects these changes. BACKGROUND As part of the Superintendent’s reorganization proposal for District Office services, there is need to add new management positions and to reclassify other positions in the management group to reflect the changes in the organizational structure which will improve the effectiveness, responsiveness, and efficiency of office operations. Some responsibilities have shifted in this reorganization, new responsibilities have been added to positions, and recommendations from the Minority Achievement and Talent Development Advisory Committee have added other responsibilities. One staff member is also being recommended for reclassification to reflect his increased supervision and work responsibilities. Proposal for New Positions

Chief Student Services Officer (Assistant Superintendent Level) – As PAUSD has expanded efforts around special education, student health and wellness, and compliance issues, the need for direct supervision of this work is needed. The reorganization plan brings back the assistant superintendent level position for student services, which was eliminated in 2002. The Chief Student Services Officer for student services, under direction of the Superintendent, leads the division effectiveness in development, placement, implementation, and evaluation of Pre-K-Post-Secondary Special Education programs and services, guidance programs, district nursing services, and mental health and wellness supports and services. The Chief Student Services Officer provides leadership and oversight to Central Attendance and for enrollment policies and procedures. A complete job description is being developed, which will includes, but is not limited to, these primary responsibilities:

1

• Assists in the determination of types of programs and supports needed by the schools, makes appropriate recommendations, and works with other district departments to facilitate program supports and to encourage student wellness, safety, learning, and support services.

• Serves as a primary evaluator for the Directors of Special Education and Student

Services, school psychologists, and district nurse. • Coordinates and supervises assignments for directors, coordinators, and managers to

ensure that appropriate resources are allocated to special education, guidance, attendance, and health and wellness programs to support the success of all students.

• Registration and Attendance Services: Supervise and evaluate Central Attendance staff. District approval/denial of new inter-district transfers. Appeals for inter- and intra-district transfers, and continuation of permits. Oversees Santa Clara County Office of Education Appeals. Coordinate Kindergarten Registration. Interfaces with nonresidents who have students enrolled inappropriately in PAUSD, providing documentation proving non-residence.

We recommend reestablishing the position of Chief Student Services Officer as a contracted position effective July 1, 2015. General Counsel – PAUSD utilizes the services of several law firms to advise the District on legal matters pertaining to the laws governing special education, collective bargaining, contract and real property, Education Code, and many other areas. The addition of a general counsel would improve the District’s responsiveness to legal questions and provide needed support for the Superintendent and Board of Education. This position is expected to be revenue neutral, as the funds currently spent on legal fees will be shifted to fund the general counsel position. A job description is being developed, with primary duties including, but not limited to:

• Confer with, advise, and render legal opinions on areas of law including, but not limited to, labor and employment, employee and student discipline, student rights and responsibilities, special education real property, litigation, Brown Act, liability, and issues related to OCR, EEOC, etc.

• Act as District’s UCP Coordinator and act as investigator to review and respond to formal complaints.

• Provide leadership to the District compliance function and staff. • Respond to Public Records Act requests and coordinate and monitor responses to

PRA. • Interpret the impact of pending and new legislation. • Review and approve work of outside counsel. • Draft new or revised Board policies and Administrative Regulations. • Attend all regular and special Board meetings and study sessions and act as legal

advisor to the Board and as parliamentarian at meetings. • Serve as an ombudsman for informal but potentially serious complaints

2

We recommend creating the position of General Counsel as a contracted position effective July 1, 2015. A draft job description is included with the Superintendent’s Executive Summary. District Nurse – As the District’s responsiveness to and support for student health issues have expanded, the need for additional District level nursing services at the elementary level and coordination is needed. We recommend creating a second classified or certificated District Nurse position effective July 1, 2015. Proposal for Reclassification Positions Brenda Carillo - Hired as Coordinator II—Student Services on July 1, 2012. The work under the reorganization now meets Director I level responsibilities. We recommend reclassifying this position to Director I—Student Services effective July 1, 2015. Judy Argumedo - Hired as Coordinator II—ELL on July 1, 2011. The work under the reorganization now meets Director I level responsibilities. We recommend reclassifying this position to Director I—Equity & Academic Success effective July 1, 2015. Katherine Baker - Hired as Director I—Secondary Education on July 1, 2013. After careful review of the work duties from the reorganization being proposed, we recommend reclassifying this position to the Director II level, with the title of Chief Academic Officer—6-12 effective July 1, 2015. Barbara Harris - Hired as Director I—Elementary Education on July 1, 2014. After careful review of the work duties from the reorganization being proposed, we recommend reclassifying this position to the Director II level, with the title of Chief Academic Officer—PK-5 effective July 1, 2015. Ignacio Padilla - Hired as Classified Manager I—IT on July 5, 2012. Due to additional supervisory duties resulting from the increase of site IT staff, we recommend reclassifying this position to the Classified Manager II—IT effective July 1, 2015. TBD – The Associate Superintendent position will be vacant July 1 with the departure of Dr. Charles Young. The work under the reorganization plan now supports a Deputy Superintendent position who will serve as the second in command to the Superintendent. A job description has been developed with primary duties including, but not limited to: • Provide leadership and assistance in the design, operation, monitoring, and evaluation of

assigned programs. • Provide leadership, management, supervision, and direction to assigned management,

professional and support staff, and consultants. • Play a significant leadership role in fostering professional growth and building of staff morale

throughout the district. • Direct processes related to development, evaluation, and revision of curriculum and

assessment:

3

o Keep informed as to the operation of the instructional program and outcomes of initiatives designed for improving teaching procedures focusing on improvement and accountability.

o Manage collection and analysis of student achievement data including District, site, classroom, and individual student data and coordinate preparation of reports.

• Assure the implementation of the District program for ensuring student mastery of content and performance standards:

o Oversee school improvement plans and school accreditation process. o Design evaluation of intervention programs for historically underrepresented students

and others not meeting performance standards. • Direct planning for District and school improvement:

o Direct planning and implementation of processes related to the selection of textbooks and instructional materials.

o Formulate and encourage innovative curricular programs that will improve instruction in conjunction with the supervisory staff, principals, and teachers.

o Communicate with the public and media on curriculum and instructional issues. o Provide for community input and participation in instructional programs and LCAP

and advisory committee processes. We recommend the Associate Superintendent position be reclassified to a Deputy Superintendent position effective July 1, 2015. Coordinator I (Student Services) – The District needs additional support to effectively oversee our compliance monitoring programs such as the Section 504 program, Uniform Complaint Program (UCP), Student Attendance Review Board (SARB), Secondary Records, and the expulsion process. With the addition of the aforementioned Chief Student Services Officer and General Counsel positions, we believe one of the Coordinator II—Special Education positions can be reclassified to Coordinator I position. We recommend reclassifying a Coordinator II—Special Education position to a Coordinator I—Student Services position effective July 1, 2015. Anticipated Positions (Program Evaluation Coordinator and Equity Administrator) These two positions are likely to be added during the course of the 2015-16 Academic Year. The new Director of Research and Assessment and cabinet, as a whole, are realizing both the needs of the district for thoughtful data analysis, especially as it relates to evaluating programs and services. Moreover, the MATD Advisory Committee has recommended the district employ or appoint a person who will be accountable for assuring the recommendations of the Committee, and enacted by the administration and Board, are fulfilled with fidelity. We are currently in the process of determining specific job responsibilities, identifying whether or not current staff can handle some of the workload, and exploring how the new work fits within the current organizational structure to see if it would actually require 2.0 FTE. We expect it will be less. In any case, we are making room in the budget for these anticipated positions.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Action 22 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Cathy Mak, Chief Business Officer SUBJECT: Proposed PAUSD Budget for 2015-16;

Resolution 2014-15.14, Year End Budget Transfer Authorization; Resolution 2014-15.15, Budget Transfer of Funds for the Fiscal Year 2015-16; Resolution 2014-15.16, Interfund Borrowing Fiscal Year 2015-16;

(pages 24-27) STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget Trends and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATIONS This item was discussed at the June 9, 2015, regular meeting. It is recommended that the Board of Education:

1. Adopt the 2015-16 budget as presented. 2. Adopt, as a separate action, the budget for Fund 21-210, the Property Fund, as presented.

(This separate approval is required by Board of Education policy.) 3. Approve the Resolution for Budget Transfer Authority for 2014-15 as presented. 4. Approve the Resolution for Budget Transfer Authority for 2015-16 as presented. 5. Approve the Resolution for Interfund Borrowing for 2015-16 as presented.

INTRODUCTION The Education Code requires that school districts adopt a budget for 2015-16 by July 1, 2015. At this time, key state and local budget information is still unknown. We will not have changes to the state budget, property tax revenue, enrollment, and employee health benefit rates increases until well past the July 1 deadline. This budget, however, is based on the best estimates that are currently available. SUMMARY State Budget and Economic Outlook The state’s economic outlook remains strong in 2015, with job growth better than anticipated and the unemployment rate falling both at the national and state levels. With a strong economy, the

1

Governor’s May Revision included substantial increases to the education budget. The Governor proposed $6.1 billion to further Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), and $3.5 billion in discretionary, one-time funds proposed for the implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS). While PAUSD will not receive any additional ongoing revenue from the LCFF, PAUSD will be eligible for the one-time funds. The estimate for PAUSD is $7.2 million. This revenue will be reserved for textbook adoptions and one-time projects. On the local front, property tax growth continues to grow at a healthy level. In 2014-15, the latest growth estimate is a 7.47% increase over last year. Staff is using the rate increases from the City of Palo Alto of 5.24% for 2015-16 and 5.36% to 5.51% per year for the out years. We are anticipating enrollment growth for 2015-16 and hence additional staffing is budgeted. The voters have approved an annual tax of $758 per parcel per year (Measure A) for six years from 2015-16 to 2020-21 replacing the previous 2010 tax measure. The new parcel generates an additional $2.3 million per year. While the budget situation for 2015-16 continues to improve by the recent positive property tax data, the District still needs to be cautious as economy is cyclical, and we do not know when the next downturn will hit. The significant increase of 14.3% of LCFF funding to state funded districts may have potential challenge to labor contract negotiations next year. Program Augmentations Below are program augmentations included in this budget. $2,336,941 was approved by the Board on the April 21, 2015, meeting. Since then, the voters of Palo Alto have approved a parcel tax measure replacing the previous one. The new measure brings in additional revenue of $2,300,000. $619,925 of the $2,336,941 program augmentations will be funded from the new tax measure. The second table below shows the additional expenditures proposed to be funded by the new additional revenues. Program Augmentations - Board Approved 4/21/15 FTE Amount

* approved on 4/21/15 - 2015-16 Additional Resource Allocations** This area addresses the recommendations from the Minority Achievement and Talent Development Advisory (MATD) committee. Reserve Cap (pp. 21) Starting with the 2015-16 budget adoption, school districts are required to provide a statement that substantiates the need for the excess reserve. For PAUSD the reserve level is 3%, $6.2 million of the total general fund expenditures. The table shows the amount over 3% and the reasons for the excess. The district has a 10% reserve policy. Most of the other reasons are for budget reserves at the schools and unspent funds from categorical programs and previously approved one-time projects. New on the list is designation for a one-time cost for potential new schools. The estimated startup costs are $1.6 million for a new elementary school and $4.5 million for a new middle school. The remaining excess is placed in the “designation to mitigate future budget cuts.” What does this budget include?

• Personnel o Estimated increases for step and column movement on current salary schedules o Current health benefit rates are used for July 1, 2015, through June 2016; any cost

increases beyond December 2015 are not included o Additional staffing to accommodate enrollment growth based on current formulas o Additional program augmentation of $1.7 million o Additional Parcel Tax program expenses of $2.3 million o Increase in CALSTRS and CALPERS employer’s contribution rates

3

• Other

o Estimated increase for utilities o Estimated increase for non-public school and residential placement costs for

special education o Routine Maintenance Fund based upon 3.0% of General Fund expenditures

What is not included in this budget? • Increases to current salary schedules • Increases in health benefit costs beyond December 2015 • Impact of final adopted 2015-16 State Budget

The revenue assumptions in this budget are based on an increase of 5.24% in property taxes (secured, unsecured, homeowners’ exemption, and PAUSD share of county-wide roll corrections), the state’s “hold harmless” categorical funding of $2.5 million, and a $2.3 million increase in parcel taxes. Latest estimates are used for federal programs. The budget adopted by the Board in June, while technically the official budget of the District, will be modified during the 2015-16 budget year as follows: September 2015 Budget Update What we will know then: Actual Property Tax Revenue for 2014-15 Ending Balance for 2014-15 State Budget for 2015-16 First County Update on 2015-16 Property Tax Collections October 2015 Budget Study Session November 2015 First Interim Financial Report What we will know then: Adjustments to PAUSD budget based on actual enrollment and staffing for

LOCAL REVENUE Local revenue consists of property taxes, parcel taxes, lease income, interest income, donations, reimbursements, and transfers from other funds. Property tax revenue accounts for about 70% of the General Fund budget. Based on the latest estimate received from the Santa Clara County Controller-Treasurer’s office, property tax revenue for the current year is projected to increase 7.47% over 2013-14. For 2015-16, the County Assessor’s office has yet to post Proposition 8 assessment adjustments or any reserve the County needs to hold back in July for refunds. Allowing for Proposition 8 adjustments, a county-wide reserve, and the volatility of the unsecured roll, staff is using the property growth rate from the City of Palo Alto of 5.24% in the property tax revenue assumption for 2015-16. The County Controller-Treasurer will provide their first estimate of the 2015-16 property tax revenue in August. The property tax revenue assumption will be revised based on that estimate. The parcel tax is funded at a level of $758 per parcel for the period from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2021, with an annual escalation adjustment of 2% per year. Total budget for 2015-16 is $14.7 million. Lease income from the four District owned properties leased to tenants is projected at $8.0 million based upon current leases. Funding from Palo Alto Partners in Education (PAPiE), $5.3 million for 2015-16, is received by PAUSD each year for distribution to the schools for needed programs and staff. A complete list of local revenue is displayed on page 18. STATE REVENUE As a Community Funded school district, PAUSD now receives only about 7.8% (excluding the one-time discretionary Common Core funds of $7.2 million) of its General Fund revenue from the state. Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) State Aid Effective 2013-14, the State has rolled over 40 categorical programs and the traditional revenue limit into a new distribution model called the Local Control Funding formula. For community funded districts, the LCFF State Aid is the same amount “hold harmless” districts received back in 2012-13. For PAUSD, the amount is $2.5 million which is composed of $9.9 million of state categorical programs less the $7.4 million State “fair share” reduction. While the proposed 2015-16 state budget provides additional $6.1 billion for the implementation of LCFF, there is no increase in funding to PAUSD due to this “hold harmless” provision. The significant increase of 14.3% of LCFF funding to state funded districts may have a potential challenge to labor contract negotiations next year.

FEDERAL REVENUE The 2015-16 federal funding is projected to be flat funding. It is important to note the federal government uses a fiscal year beginning on October 1 and ending on September 30. Also, we will not know the exact funding amounts until the fall. This is why most federal programs have a high carryover as schools and managers plan and spend with what is certain. EXPENDITURES The bulk of the District’s expenditures, 82%, are in employee salaries and benefits. The remaining 18% of the budget funds are contracted services, supplies and materials, capital outlay, and other expenses. Unified school districts are required by law to spend at least 55% of total expenditures on classroom related expenses including teachers and teacher aides. The District maintains a percentage well over 60%.

OUTLINE OF BUDGET DOCUMENT This budget represents the PAUSD financial plan for the coming year, based on the financial information available at this time. As further information is received, the budget will be revised to reflect changes in projected income and expenditures. The remainder of this document is divided into the following sections: I. Financial Status for 2014-15. There have been changes from the financial status reported

at Second Interim. II. Budget for 2015-16. The projections for the 2015-16 budget have changed since the

Second Interim Financial Report because of updated financial information. This section outlines assumptions and presents the Superintendent’s recommended budget for 2015-16.

III. Five-Year Financial Model. The five-year financial model is the focal point of prudent

budget decision making. Having a full understanding of the long-term implications of decisions is a prerequisite to sound financial management. The model shows the assumptions used. These assumptions will change over time, and this model will be updated regularly.

IV. Capital Funds. The budgets for capital funds for 2014-15 and a full five-year model for

Fund 14-140 (Deferred Maintenance), Fund 21-210 (Property Fund), Fund 21-211 (Building Projects Fund), Fund 21-212 (Strong Schools Bond), Fund 21-216 (Planned Maintenance), and Fund 25-250 (Capital Facilities) are included in the District budget package. As is required by Board policy, the Board of Education is requested to adopt the budget for Fund 21-212 as a separate action.

V. All Other Funds. Adult School, Child Development, Cafeteria, Basic Aid Reserve,

Self-Insured Dental, Workers Compensation, and Retiree Benefits are separate funds. All of these funds are projected to be in a satisfactory financial position for 2015-16.

VI. Certification, State Forms, and Criteria and Standards. The state forms and the related

criteria and standards are in the process of being completed. These forms will be presented at the next meeting. This budget complies with state criteria and standards.

6

VII. Resolution for Budget Transfer Authority for 2014-15. This is a routine resolution adopted by the school district to facilitate the activities at the close of the fiscal year.

VIII. Resolution for Budget Transfer Authority for 2015-16. This is a resolution adopted by the

school district to facilitate the payment of obligations in fiscal year 2015-16. IX. Resolution for Interfund Borrowing for 2015-16. A resolution required by the County

Office of Education to allow checks to be issued in funds which temporarily have negative cash balances.

I. FINANCIAL STATUS FOR 2014-15 (pp.18-19)

The Board’s last full discussion on the status of the 2014-15 budget was at the time of the Second Interim Financial Report. The status of the 2015-16 budget is important because it determines the 2014-15 ending fund balance (which is the 2015-16 beginning fund balance). Also, the 2014-15 budget establishes a baseline for the 2015-16 budget. This section reports on the changes that have taken place since the Second Interim Report. The table on pages 18-19 shows the comparison between the District’s general fund financials at Second Interim (Column A) and the current estimated actuals (Column B). The difference between the two columns is shown as Column C. Fund Balance and Basic Aid Reserve Policy There have been revenue and expenditure changes since the Second Interim Financial Report. The unrestricted undesignated Fund Balance is estimated at $242,274, a decrease of $6,838,562 from the Second Interim. This decrease is due to transfer to the basic aid reserve policy of $1.3 million coupled with an increase of property tax revenues of $509,856. Also, based on discussion at the June 9 meeting, staff is reserving $6,089,000 to the New Schools Funds. Revenue

1. State Aid (Decrease of $12,658). Slight decrease of Education Protection Account revenue due to decrease of ADA at P-2 attendance reporting.

2. Property Taxes (Increase of $509,856). Property tax revenue comes from three sources: the secured roll revenue, unsecured roll, and homeowners’ exemption. The increase is primarily from the unsecured roll revenue. The final figures will not be known until July, after the school year is over. When the final figures are received, the District's financials will be adjusted accordingly.

3. Transfer of in-lieu Property Taxes (Decrease of $20,468). Amount transferred to charter schools for Palo Alto resident students.

4. Mandated Cost (Decrease of $16,310). Reduction due to decrease in estimated ADA.

7

Expenditures

5. Personnel Budgets (Decrease of $998,811). Personnel budgets show a decrease of $998,811 which reflects budget savings, contract settlement costs, and approximately $900,000 in budget realignments to the supplies and materials category.

6. Supplies and Materials and other Operating Expenses and Services (Increase of $1,043,815). The increase is from budget realignments from the personnel budgets above as well as increases in the local income budgets, offset by savings of $140,000 in the legal services budget.

7. Transfer to Fund 17 (Increase of $1,320,326). Transfer of funds to Fund 17 to comply with Board Policy Reserve.

II. GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR 2015-16 (pp.18-19) The 2014-15 estimated actuals are the baseline numbers for the 2015-16 budget. This section reports on assumptions related to revenue and expenditures made to create the 2015-16 budget from the estimated actuals. The table on pages 18-19 shows the comparison between the District’s estimated actuals for 2014-15 (Column D) and the budget for 2015-15 (Column E). The difference between the two columns is shown in Column F. The following are details on the changes and assumptions that are the basis of the 2015-16 budget. Revenue Property Taxes ($144,075,513, Increase of $7,173,657). Property tax revenue comes from three sources: the secured roll, the unsecured roll, and homeowners’ exemption/subventions (HOX). For the 2015-16 budget, the secured taxes ($133.2 million), unsecured taxes ($10.2 million), and homeowner’s exemptions ($756,095) have been increased by 5.24% over the 2014-15 estimated revenue. Parcel Tax ($14,669,244, Increase of $2.3 million). The residents of Palo Alto passed the Measure A Parcel Tax in May 2015 for six years with an increase to $758 per parcel and with an annual escalation of 2% per year through 2020-21. Lease Revenue ($9,182,733, Decrease of $976,167). The District leases four of its properties to outside organizations. The Cubberley site is leased to the City of Palo Alto, along with portable buildings at several elementary schools for daycare for $5.5 million. The Fremont Hills site is leased to the Pinewood School for $1.4 million and the Garland site is leased to the Stratford School for $877,651. The District also leases the newly acquired 525 San Antonio site for $133,127 in a short term lease with the Athena Academy and receives 25% of all rental revenues generated by the sites to cover the cost of rental. Lease revenues are projected based upon signed leases for the four leased sites and historical trends at the site level.

8

Special Education, including Mental Health ($8,951,577, Decrease of $38,829). Special education revenues are from these sources: County Office SELPA ($3.2 million), federal ($2.3 million), and state and local property taxes ($3.4 million). The projection for the District’s special education revenue is provided by the local special education local plan area (SELPA). Other State Revenue ($18,917,290, Increase of $7,885,570). Other state revenue includes State Aid ($5.2 million), Education Protection Account ($2.4 million), lottery revenue ($2.1 million), Proposition 39 Clean Energy ($435,966), Mandated Block Grant ($442,456), one time discretionary funds ($7.2 million), Special Education Workability ($64,075), and Adult Education ($1.0 million). All state revenue is based on funding letters received by the state or projected based upon rates provided by School Services of California (SSC). The increase is primarily due to the one-time common core discretionary funds of $7.2 million and a $463,000 increase in State aid for the Voluntary Transfer program. Other Federal Income ($1,040,899, Decrease of $326,847). Other federal income consists primarily of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) revenue for professional development, low income and English leaner students ($596,041), and a grant from the Department of Rehabilitation ($407,432). Projections are based upon current 2014-15 awards and information from SSC regarding federal funding. This decrease results from the carryover balances being removed. Palo Alto Partners in Education (PAPiE) ($5,300,000, Increase of $300,000). The District has been given a commitment of $5.3 million for the 2015-16 school year from PAPiE which is allocated to schools for target areas reflecting school district needs and priorities deemed most impactful by principals and parents as revealed in annual meetings, surveys, and focus groups. The increase represents the additional generosity of the community through their tireless efforts. Other Local Revenue ($5,015,789, Decrease of $727,389). Other local revenue is primarily funds received at the site level, including PTA donations, athletic boosters, site rentals, and departmental income. These revenues are budgeted based on historical levels, although the funds are not available to spend until they are collected by the sites. The reduction is due to a decrease in ROP revenue of $189,742. In addition, school donations are adjusted throughout the year as actual donations are received. Interfund Transfers in ($101,000, Increase of $9,000). Interfund transfers of $21,000 is the transfer from the Capital Facilities Fund. $80,000 is from the Retirees Benefits Fund.

EXPENDITURES Certificated Salaries ($97,664,373, Increase of $5,132,488). Certificated salaries include classroom teachers, counselors, psychologists, administrators, and other certificated staff. The salary budget increases current staffing, projected increases in staffing due enrollment growth, projected cost of additional step/column increases, and additional staffing allocations. The increase is due an increase of about 37 FTE positions, an extra work day on the teacher’s contract ($480,000), expanding the summer program ($300,000), and an offset by a one-time 0.5% bonus in 2014-15.

9

Classified Salaries ($32,281,808, Increase of $1,051,631). Classified salaries include classroom aides, secretaries, custodians, bus drivers, maintenance workers, food service employees, and all other non-certificated staff. The projected cost of additional step increases, as well as an increase of 2 mental health therapists, 2 custodians due to increasing square footage at facilities, an increase in hours and reclassification for middle school health technicians, an increase in administrative staff, coupled with a decrease of special education aides. The increase is offset by a one-time 0.5% bonus in 2014-15.

Benefit Costs ($39,513,291, Increase of $3,625,346). Benefits include statutory, retirement, and health and welfare costs. Statutory costs include Medicare (1.45%), Social Security (6.2% for classified employees only), unemployment insurance (0.05%), and worker’s compensation (2.4635%, up from 2.209% in 2014-15). Retirement benefits include STRS (10.73%, up from 8.88% in 2014-15 for certificated employees) and PERS (11.847%, up from 11.771% in 2014-15 for classified employees). Health and welfare benefits are based on a contractual $13,070 per FTE contribution from the District. The increase is in direct correlation with the increase in salaries and primarily due to the increase in CALSTRS ($1.6 million), CALPERS ($190,706), workers compensation rate ($547,993), and an increase of health and welfare benefits to additional staffing. Supplies and Materials ($16,856,857, Increase of $6,983,490). Supplies and materials include textbooks, library books, instructions materials, other classroom supplies, technology purchases (computers, tablet devices, printers, etc), furniture, and other non-instructional materials. The growth is due to an increase in one-time common core discretionary funds of $7.2 million reserved for textbook adoption and one-time projects. This budget category is changed from the June 9 proposed budget by $442,456. The Mandated Block Grant revenue of $442,456 was budgeted as categorical revenue with the corresponding expenditures by error. We are reducing the expenditures to reflect the revenues as unrestricted.

Other Operating Expenses and Services ($18,670,889, Decrease of $1,645,051). Other operating expenses and services include services, rentals, leases, maintenance contracts, travel, insurance, utilities, legal, and other operating expenditures. Utilities ($3.6 million), special education non-public schools ($3.0 million), and mental health residential placements ($1.5 million) are the three largest expenditures in this area. Capital Outlay ($355,500, Decrease of $1,500). Capital outlay includes vehicle and large technology purchases, including servers. Interfund Charges ($116,837, Increase of $20,681). Interfund charges include all indirect charges charged to the various funds.

Interfund Transfers Out ($1,505,700, decrease of $870,326). Interfund transfers out is the transfer to the Adult Education Fund of $1.0 million and to the Deferred Maintenance Fund of $450,000.

III. FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL MODEL (p. 20) Staff has prepared a five-year model of projected revenue and expenses, extending through the year 2020-21.

10

This model is dependent on the assumptions used and the variables available in the model. The assumptions will change as time passes and the District continues to reassess the assumptions in the current model. While the model provides for additional teachers and site allocation funds for enrollment growth, it does not provide for any percentage driven increases in numbers of support staff. It also does not provide for increases in employee salaries and contributions to employee benefit costs. The revenue projections are a function of individual projections of local, state, and federal revenue sources. Revenue Projections Enrollment. The District is using the December 2014 enrollment projection. The moderate projection is used for this projection. Voluntary Transfer Program Revenue. The District receives 70% of the sending district’s LCFF base grant amount for voluntary transfer students. COLA adjustments have been applied to this revenue stream. The source of these COLA estimates is School Services of California (SSC). Property Taxes. This item includes revenue from the secured roll, unsecured roll, and homeowners’ exemptions. Absent additional information, this budget model uses a property tax growth rate from the City of Palo Alto which ranges from 5.36% to 5.51% for 2016-17 to 2020-21. These projections will be revisited as additional information is received. Parcel Tax. Measure A passed in May 2015 for six years with an increase to $758 per parcel with an annual escalation of 2% per year through 2020-21. Special Education Revenue. The projected increases are based on COLA adjustments. The source of these COLA estimates is School Services of California (SSC). Lottery Income. An increase in lottery income has been projected due to enrollment growth and estimated changes in the rate. The source of these rate estimates is School Services of California (SSC). Increases in Lease Income. The leases at Garland and Fremont Hills have a minimum increase of 3% annually. The lease with the City of Palo Alto has a 3% adjustment annually. The source of these estimates is School Services of California (SSC). The Garland lease expires on June 30, 2016, and therefore, the rental income for the Garland site has been removed for 2016-17. Expenditure Projections Additional Classroom Teachers for Enrollment Growth. Based on “moderate” projections of enrollment growth at the elementary, middle, and high schools, a calculation has been made of the number of additional teachers required. Additional Special Education Teachers and Aides. The District needs to plan for the additional special education teachers and aides anticipated as enrollment increases. Certificated Step/Column and Attrition/Retirement Savings. This estimate has been revised with updated data from Human Resources.

11

Classified Step/Column and Attrition/Retirement Savings. This estimate has been revised with updated data from Human Resources. Health Benefit Costs. The health benefit costs are based on the rates effective January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. No increase is included in the model after December 2015. STRS Rate. The employer STRS rate continues to increase by1.65% per year until it reaches 19.1% by 2020-21. We have included this increase in the projections. PERS Rate. There is a potential CalPERS rate increases each year. The rate projections are: 2015-16 (12.6%), 2016-17 (15%), 2017-18 (16.6%), 2018-19 (18.2%), and 2019-20 (19.9%) We have included the increases in the projections. Workers’ Compensation Costs. The rate for 2014-15 is estimated at 2.4635% of overall salary, and future budget estimates will be updated when new data is available from our provider. Routine Maintenance. The transfer to Routine Maintenance is 3% for the out years. Increase in School Discretionary Budgets. This category has been increased to correspond to the projected enrollment increase. It has been adjusted to reflect the District’s allocation for the startup costs of each new elementary classroom. Increase in Utilities Expense. It is projected the costs will increase by 5% each year. Increase in Special Education Non-Public School Tuition and Transportation Costs. It is projected the costs of these line items will increase by 5% each year. Additional Maintenance Costs. The increase shown each year reflects the increase in the routine maintenance budget as a result of an increase in the overall general fund budget. Costs for the 13th Elementary School. This projection assumes implementation costs for the thirteenth elementary school will begin in 2018-19. The estimated cost for the planning is about $210,000 from the general fund. This model assumes the new school will be open in 2019-20, and the estimated ongoing operating cost for this will be about $1.5 million. This assumption can change pending a board decision in the fall. Costs for the Potential 4th Middle School. This projection does not include the costs of opening the fourth middle school. The estimated ongoing operating cost for a middle school is $4.5 million. This assumption can change pending board decision in the fall. Surpluses shown on line 38. Based on the revenue and enrollment assumptions listed above, surpluses are projected in the multi-year projection. Surpluses are shown on this line as available for program enhancements and employee compensation.

IV. CAPITAL FUNDS (p. 22) Capital funds are funds whose uses are restricted to capital purposes. It is useful to devote budget attention to these funds and to think of them as a group. This is true because, as capital projects and tasks are identified, it is often the case there are options within the group for funding and trade-offs or combinations of funds can accomplish the purpose while remaining within the legal requirements of the funds. The following is a listing of Palo Alto Unified School District’s capital funds, a description of permitted uses, a current status report, a discussion of recommended uses, and a financial model. Fund 14-140, Deferred Maintenance Fund This fund records the revenue and expenditures from the state deferred maintenance apportionment and District-matching contribution. Formerly, there was a 50-50 state match on a capped amount of local revenue deposited in the fund. This is no longer the case. The state income has now, in accordance with state flexibility allowance, been directed to the General Fund. The following table shows a projected five-year model for this fund.

2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20Beginning Balance $1,125,288 $680,577 $233,639 $234,691 $235,747

Fund 14-140, Deferred Maintenance Fund

Fund 21-210, Property Fund This fund records the revenue and expenditures resulting from sale of real property or lease-with-option-to-purchase real property. The projected balance of this fund as of June 30, 2016, is $1,851,105. Expenditures in the Property Fund are restricted to capital outlay. The following table shows a projected five-year model for this fund.

Fund 25-250, School Capital Facilities Fund

V. ALL OTHER FUNDS (p. 23) Fund 11-110, Adult School Fund. Adult Education is primarily supported by state revenue, student fees for classes not supported by the state, and very limited categorical funds. The program is not projected to encroach on the General Fund.

15

Fund 12-120, Child Development Fund. This program is supported by state revenue and parent fees. Child care services are provided by Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC) as a sub-contractor to the District. The program is not projected to encroach on the General Fund. Fund 13-130, Cafeteria Fund. The District receives federal and state funds for the Cafeteria Program and also receives revenue from food sales. There is no contribution from the General Fund as the program is now self-sufficient. Fund 17-170, Special Reserve Fund. With the highly volatile nature of Community Funded districts and the constant threat from the State to redistribute property tax collections in excess of the revenue limit entitlements, Community Funded districts must maintain a higher level of reserve. The targeted reserve amount is equal to 10% of general fund budgeted expenditures. The June 30, 2015, ending fund balance is projected to be $14,375,748. Fund 20-200, Retiree Benefits Fund. The Retiree Benefits Fund has been shifted from Fund 710 to Fund 200 in compliance with GASB 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, as the funds are not in an irrevocable trust. This fund was established in June 2006 to prepare for the compliance with GASB 45 and the funding of retiree benefits. GASB 45 requires public agencies to report costs and obligations for post-employment benefits. New employees hired after July 1, 2009, are not entitled to this benefit. With this change, the retiree benefit liability will cease over time. The District plans to spend down the balance in this fund over 30 years. The fund is estimated to have a balance of $2,273,464 by June 30, 2015. Fund 67-670, Self-Insurance, Dental Fund. The District is self-insured for its dental insurance program. The income source is premiums paid by the District on behalf of employees, and expenditures are for claims incurred.

VI. CERTIFICATION, STATE FORM AND CRITERIA AND STANDARDS (pp 24-29) The District is in full compliance with cash balance, fund balance, and reserve requirements.

VII. RESOLUTION FOR BUDGET TRANSFER AUTHORITY IN 2014-15 (p. 30) Each year, it is necessary to transfer budgets from one account to another in order to properly close the books for the fiscal year and to comply with the statutory requirement that no major budget category can be overspent when bills are paid. This activity takes place in the summer and on a short timeline. Routinely, this Board of Education, like other boards in the State, adopts a resolution delegating the authority to the Chief Business Officer to make these transfers. The attached resolution will continue the practice.

16

VIII. RESOLUTION FOR BUDGET TRANSFER AUTHORITY IN 2015-16 (p. 31) Staff requests the Board of Education also extend this delegation of budget transfer authority to the Chief Business Officer in Fiscal Year 2015-16. A separate resolution for 2015-16 is attached.

IX. RESOLUTION FOR INTERFUND BORROWING (p. 32)

Beginning in 2010-11, the County Office of Education added a requirement for districts related to interfund borrowing. In the past, if an individual fund was temporarily negative, the County Office of Education would still issue accounts payable and payroll checks as long as the district had sufficient money in its combined funds. Now, the County Office of Education is requiring an Interfund Borrowing resolution in order for them to issue checks out of a temporarily negative fund. In order to fulfill this requirement, we have presented a resolution for Interfund Borrowing for review and approval.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Action 23 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15

TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Bob Golton, Bond Program Manager SUBJECT: New Paly Athletic Center Financial and Contract Related Approvals Note: Changes were made to this report for presentation at the meeting of June 23, 2015. Those changes are noted in italics. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget Trends and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education approve: 1. The Lease-Lease Back Agreement, Site Lease, and Sublease. 2. An escrow agreement that provides for the deposit of the Peery donation money. 3. A resolution authorizing the County to establish a separate bond fund for the District’s share of

payments to Vance Brown. BACKGROUND At the Board meeting of June 9, 2015, the Board of Education approved the following in preparation for the start of the Paly Athletic Center project:

1. The Board Resolution: Finding to Revise the Strong Schools Bond Project List 2. Acceptance of a generous contribution from the Peery Foundation, valued at $24,000,000,

and approve opening of escrow account and deposit of cash portions of Peery Foundation donation and additional District contribution of $12,999,629

3. The naming of the facility as “The Peery Center” 4. The budget transfers related to this project 5. The Lease-Lease Back Agreement, Site Lease, and Sublease 6. The Board Resolution: Finding to Increase the Retention Percentage 7. The architect agreements for construction administration with Tolbert Design Architects

and Louie International 8. The contract for Inspector of Record services with CIS 9. The contracts for Special Testing and Inspection services with the firms of Ninyo & Moore

and Cornerstone Earth Systems Regarding Number 2 above, it was intended to place the Peery Foundation cash contribution and District cash in an escrow so both parties were assured of the availability of funds for the Vance Brown contract. Bond Counsel has informed us, however, while bond money can be used to pay appropriate expenditures, the County has no statutory authority to send bond money to an escrow. Alternative escrow structures are now being explored providing both parties’ assurances that funds

**AMENDED**

are available to fund the construction project. The escrow agreement will be presented at the meeting for approval. Regarding Number 5 above, since that meeting, there have been updates to the Lease-Leaseback Agreement and the Site Lease. Therefore, the updated versions are attached. It should be noted that, as of the date of the writing of this Board item, final conversations with the Vance Brown attorneys have not been completed. Any modifications to these documents will be presented at the meeting of June 23, 2015. Also, a Resolution is attached authorizing the establishment of a separate bond fund at the County for the District’s share of payments to Vance Brown. This separate fund is a requirement of one of the draft escrow agreements that have been forwarded to the donor. Note that emergency action will be required to approve the Resolution in one reading. This is needed since the next Board meeting will be in late August.

 In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 3300, Contractor has a Class “B” license that Contractor shall maintain in good standing for the duration of Contractor’s work on the Project.    ARTICLE 2.   CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The Contractor and the Owner agree that this Agreement, all of the documents listed in Article 1.1.1 of the General Conditions attached as Exhibit C (the “General Con‐ditions”), the Site Lease, and the Sublease, together form the “Contract Documents,” which form the “Con‐tract.”  ARTICLE 3.   TIME TO COMPLETE AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Time is of the essence in this con‐tract, and the time of substantial completion for the entire Project (the “Contract Time”) shall be 610 cal‐endar days, commencing on the date of the Ownerʹs Notice to Proceed or the date of commencement di‐rected in the Notice to Proceed, whichever is later.  Contractor shall have a grace period of sixty (60) cal‐endar days in addition to the Contract Time in which Contractor may achieve substantial completion with‐out the assessment of liquidated damages.  Failure to substantially complete the Project within these times and in the manner provided for by the Con‐tract Documents shall subject the Contractor to liquidated damages.  For purposes of liquidated damages, the concept of substantial completion shall constitute completion and shall be part of the Contract Docu‐ments.  The actual occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages which the Owner would

           Necessary loading and transportation costs for equipment used on the extra 

work shall be included.  If equipment is used intermittently and, when not in use, could be returned to its rental source at less expense to the Owner than holding it at the work Site, it shall be returned unless the Contractor elects to keep it at the work Site at no expense to the Owner. 

           All equipment shall be acceptable to the Inspector of Record, in good working 

condition, and suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used.  Manufacturer’s ratings and modifications shall be used to classify equipment, and equipment shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer.

the extra work.  Such items include labor, services, material, and equipment which are different in their nature from those required by the Work, and which are of a type not ordinarily available from the Contractor or any of the Subcontractors.  Invoices covering all such items in detail shall be submitted with the Application for Sublease Payment. 

       e)   Invoices.  Vendors’  invoices  for  material,  equipment  rental,  and  other 

expenditures shall be submitted with the COR.  If the Application for Sublease Payment is not substantiated by invoices or other documentation, the Owner may establish the cost of the item involved at the lowest price which was current at the time of the Daily Report. 

 

46 

      f)   Overhead, premiums and profit.  For overhead, including direct and indirect costs, submit with the COR and include: home office overhead, off‐Site supervision, CO preparation/negotiation/research  for  Owner  initiated  changes,  time  delays,  project interference  and  disruption,  additional  guaranty  and  warranty  durations,  on‐Site supervision, additional temporary protection, additional temporary utilities, additional material handling costs, and additional safety equipment costs.

49 

and Article  7.   Owner  shall  take  into  consideration  other  relevant  factors  such  as  concurrent  delays.  Contractor has the burden of proving that any delay was excusable.  Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, Owner’s obligation to grant a time extension is limited as described in Sections 4.5 and 7.1.1, above.   8.4.2   COMPENSABLE DELAY (TIME AND MONEY)  Compensable delays are those excusable delays for which Contractor is also entitled to money.  Contractor has  the burden of proving  that  any delay was  excusable  and  compensable,  including  an  analysis  that establishes non‐concurrency.  Notwithstanding the above, Owner’s obligation to compensate Contractor with money for an excusable delay is limited as described in Sections 4.5 and 7.1.1, above.  8.4.3  NOTICE BY CONTRACTOR REQUIRED; PROCEDURES FOR DEMANDING ADDITIONAL TIME OR MONEY   Contractor shall comply with Section 4.5 and Article 7.   8.4.4  EARLY COMPLETION  Regardless of the cause therefore, the Contractor may not maintain any Claim or cause of action against the Owner for damages incurred as a result of its failure or inability to complete its work on the Project in a shorter period than established in the Contract Documents, the parties stipulating that the period set forth in the Contract Documents is a reasonable time within which to perform the Work on the Project.  8.4.5  LIQUIDATED DAMAGES  Failure to substantially complete the Project within the time and in the manner provided for by the Contract Documents shall subject the Contractor to liquidated damages.  For purposes of liquidated damages, the concept of substantial completion shall constitute completion and  is part of  this agreement.   The actual occurrence of damages and the actual amount of the damages which the Owner would suffer if the Project were  not  substantially  completed  within  the  specified  times  set  forth  are  dependent  upon  many circumstances and conditions which could prevail in various combinations and, from the nature of the case, it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages.  Damages which the Owner would suffer in the event of delay include, but are not limited to, loss of the use of the Project, disruption of activities, costs of administration, supervision and the incalculable inconvenience and loss suffered by the public.  Accordingly, the parties agree that the amount set forth in the Agreement shall be presumed to be the amount of damages which the Owner shall directly incur upon failure of the Contractor to substantially complete the Project within the time specified, during or as a result of each calendar day by which substantial completion of the Project is delayed beyond the completion date as adjusted by Change Orders.   If the Contractor fails to complete the Project by the substantial completion date as adjusted by Change Orders, and liquidated damages therefore accrue, the Owner, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, shall have the right to assess liquidated damages at any time, and to withhold liquidated damages (and any interest thereon) at any time from any and all retention or sublease payments, which would otherwise be or become due the Contractor.  In addition, if it is reasonably apparent to the Owner before the substantial completion date (as adjusted by Change Orders) that the Contractor cannot or will not complete the Work before  that  substantial  completion  date, Owner may  assess  and withhold,  from  retention  or  sublease

payments,  the  estimated amount of  liquidated damages  that will accrue  in  the  future.    If  the  retained percentage or withheld sublease payments are not sufficient to discharge all liabilities of the Contractor incurred under this Article, the Contractor and its sureties shall continue to remain liable to the Owner until all such liabilities are satisfied in full.  If the Owner accepts any work or makes any payment under this Agreement after a default by reason of delays, the payment or payments shall in no respect constitute a waiver or modification of any Agreement provisions regarding time of completion and liquidated damages.  8.5  GOVERNMENT APPROVALS  Owner and Contractor shall not be liable for any delays or damages related to the time required to obtain government approvals.

   C.  Liquidated damages against the Contractor, whether already accrued or estimated to accrue 

in the future;    D.  Reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of any GMP or by

   I.  Failure of the Contractor to maintain record drawings;    J.  Erroneous estimates by the Contractor of the value of the Work performed, or other false 

statements in an Application;    K.  Unauthorized deviations from the Contract Documents;  

53

statutory penalties Owner or other entities assessed against Contractor.   (See e.g., Labor Code section 1813 (working hours) or Public Contract Code section 4110 (subcontractor listings and substitutions))

54 

9.5.3  OVERPAYMENT AND/OR FAILURE TO WITHHOLD  Neither Owner’s overpayment to Contractor, nor Owner’s failure to withhold an amount from a Sublease or Supplemental Payment that Owner had the right to withhold, shall constitute a waiver by Owner of its rights to withhold those amounts from future Sublease or Supplemental Payments to Contractor or to otherwise pursue recovery of those amounts from Contractor.   9.6  SUBLEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS  9.6.1  PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR    Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, Sublease Payments shall be made by District as described in Section 9.3.1, above, and the District will make Supplemental Payments within thirty (30) days after receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted Application.  For all Sublease and Supplemental Payments, Owner shall retain ten percent (10%).      The Contractor  shall  not  be  entitled  to  have  any Application processed  or  to  receive  any  Sublease  or Supplemental Payment so long as any lawful or proper direction given by the Owner concerning the Work, or any portion thereof, remains uncomplied with.  Payment shall not be a waiver of any such direction.  9.6.2  PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTORS  If the Sublease or Supplemental Payment is not sufficient to allow Contractor make all payments required to Subcontractors, then Contractor must still make such payments, whether from its own funds or from its payments received from others for this Project.  The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub‐subcontractors as required by law.  9.6.3  PAYMENT INFORMATION  The Owner will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding amounts applied for by the Contractor, and action taken thereon by the Owner.  9.6.4  NO OBLIGATION OF OWNER FOR SUBCONTRACTOR PAYMENT  The Owner shall have no obligation to pay, or to see to the payment of, money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law.  9.6.5  PAYMENT TO SUPPLIERS  Payment by Contractor  to material or equipment suppliers shall be  treated  in a manner similar  to  that provided in paragraphs 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.  9.6.6  PAYMENT NOT CONSTITUTING APPROVAL OR ACCEPTANCE  An accepted Application, issuance of a Certificate, a Sublease or Supplemental Payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance or approval of any portion of the Work, especially any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.  

55 

9.7  COMPLETION OF THE WORK  9.7.1  CLOSE‐OUT PROCEDURES  When the Contractor considers that the Work is complete and submits a written notice to Owner requesting an inspection of the Work, the Owner shall review the Work and prepare and submit to the Contractor a comprehensive  list of  items  to be completed or corrected  (the “Punch List”).   The Contractor and/or  its Subcontractors shall proceed promptly to complete and correct items on the Punch List.  Failure to include an item on the Punch List does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work (including the omitted item) in accordance with the Contract Documents, and to complete or correct the work so long as the statute of limitations (or repose) has not run.    When  the Contractor  believes  the  Punch  List work  is  complete  and  in  accordance with  the Contract Documents, it shall then submit a request for an additional inspection by the Owner to determine completion.  Owner shall again inspect the Work and inform the Contractor of any items that are incomplete or incorrect.  Contractor shall promptly complete or correct items until no items remain.    After the Work, including all Punch List work, is inspected and informally deemed by the Owner to be complete,  the Owner’s governing body may  formally accept  the Work as complete at a meeting of  the governing body.  Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Contractor’s completion of the Work.   9.8  PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE  The Owner may occupy or use any completed, or partially completed, portion of the Work at any stage prior prior to final project completion if there is no formal acceptance.  Occupancy or use of any portion of the Work, or the whole Work, shall constitute approval or acceptance of it.   Such occupancy or use shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract Documents regarding that portion of, or the whole, Work.  The Owner and the Contractor shall agree in writing to the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, insurance, the period for correction of the Work, and the commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents.  When the Contractor considers a portion complete, the Contractor may request an inspection of that portion and preparation of a Punch List by the Owner for that portion, as set forth for the entire Work under paragraph 9.7.1; however, such inspection and Punch List shall not act as any form of approval or acceptance of that portion of the Work, or of any Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract, and that portion shall be subject to subsequent inspections and Punch Lists.  Should the Owner request partial occupancy of a portion of the work, an inspection of that portion and preparation of a Punch List by the Owner for that portion shall be provided.  Acceptance of the completed Punch List shall be a requirement for the Owner’s occupancy of that portion of the Project and shall act as a form of approval and acceptance of that portion of the Work.  Furthermore, that portion shall not be subject to subsequent inspections and Punch Lists.  Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and the Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Action 24 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Cathy Mak, Chief Business Officer SUBJECT: Contracts for Legal Services for 2015-16: (1) Lozano Smith; (2) Fagen Friedman

and Fulfrost; (3) Dannis Woliver Kelley; and (4) Dora Dome This item was discussed by the Board of Education at its meeting of June 9, 2015. Additional information regarding annual evaluation is provided in italics. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget Trends and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education authorize staff to enter into contracts for legal services for 2015-16: Lozano Smith; Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost; Dannis Woliver Kelley; and Dora Dome. There are no retainers or other fees required with the contract renewals. BACKGROUND The District currently contracts with four firms to provide the major part of necessary legal services. Lozano Smith provides the bulk of legal services for the District, including advice on human resources, business, construction, curriculum, and other matters. The Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost firm provides services primarily in special education. The Dannis Woliver Kelley firm provides facilities and construction related services. The Dora Dome firm provides services primarily on student services matters. District legal expenses can fluctuate from year to year depending on the situations that arise requiring legal assistance. Legal expenses have increased in recent years due to the increase in Public Information requests, OCR cases, personnel matters, and a non-completed construction issue in the bond program. Legal expenses for 2014-15 are anticipated to be lower than 2013-14 as many of these cases and issues have been closed or settled. EXPENDITURE HISTORY

PROPOSAL Board Bylaw 9124 requires the Superintendent to annually evaluate the performance of the attorneys providing legal services in such areas as efficiency and adequacy of advice; results obtained for the district; reasonableness of fees; and responsiveness to and interactions with the Board, administration, and community. Ms. Mak has solicited feedback forms from District administrators and the results are positive for all firms. The three main firms that staff uses: Lozano Smith, Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost, and Dannis Woliver Kelley are commonly used firms in Santa Clara County. The numbers of Santa Clara County school district clients they serve are 20 for Lozano Smith, 17 for Dannis Woliver Kelley and 10 for Fagen Friedman Fulfrost. Additionally staff has also polled six neighboring districts on the attorneys they use and fees they pay. The rates of our attorneys are reasonable. The question of doing a Request for Proposal (RFP) came up at the June 9 meeting. Given the time constraint, the Superintendent recommends renewing the contracts with these four firms for 2015-16 based on the positive feedback from District staff and the reasonableness of their fees with the following understanding: 1. The Superintendent is recommending that the BPRC develop and Board adopt a policy requiring the district to issue an RFP for the following contractual services every three years (or sooner based on staff recommendation) on a rotating basis: legal services, audit services, architectural services, and other contractual services as determined and recommended by staff, Board and General Counsel. 2. Once hired, the General Counsel will review all legal services, legal bills, and contracts with the existing providers of legal services within his or her first 100 days of employment in PAUSD and recommend retention or termination of any of the four contracts at that time as well as the timing for release of RFPs for the different sets of legal services. 3. The Superintendent is directing the administrative leaders to be judicious regarding the attorney(s) with whom they work within a particular firm. Specifically, regarding special education services, he has told staff to use just one attorney within the firm, and his written approval is necessary if a staff member needs to work with another individual in that firm. This will allow time for the Board Policy Review Committee to establish a policy and process to evaluate PAUSD’s attorneys and other consultants for the following year. It is proposed contracts be renewed to these same firms for the 2015-16 fiscal year: Lozano Smith; Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost; Dannis Woliver Kelley; and Dora Dome. District staff will be as conservative as is prudently possible in its use of attorney funds. Each firm’s rate schedule is attached. FISCAL IMPACT The Lozano Smith contract will be funded by the General Fund budget and capital budgets, the Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost and the Dora Dome contracts will be funded by the General Fund budget and the Dannis Woliver Kelley contract will be funded by capital budgets, with the amounts charged to the specific fund requiring the services.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Attachment: Action 25 PALO ALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Date: 06.23.15 TO: Glenn “Max” McGee, Superintendent FROM: Bob Golton, Bond Program Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Program Change, Budget Adjustment, and Addendum No. 23 for

DLM to add HVAC to Spangenberg Theater for the Central Building Project at Gunn High School

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE Budget Trends and Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Board of Education approve:

1. Adding an HVAC system for Spangenberg Theater to the scope of the Gunn Central Building Project.

2. A Strong Schools Bond budget transfer of $1,710,035 from the Gunn High School Reserve to the Gunn Central Building Project.

3. Approve Addendum No. 23 for DLM for architect services for the Gunn Central Building Project in the amount of $317,772.

This item was discussed at the regular meeting of June 9, 2015. BACKGROUND On March 11, 2014, the Board of Education approved the Central Building project at Gunn High School and authorized staff to execute an addendum to the DLM contract for schematic design. Subsequently, on June 17, 2014, the Board approved the schematic design for this project. The Gunn Facilities Steering Committee (FSC) is recommending adding HVAC (air conditioning) to the Spangenberg Theater. Strong Schools Bond staff, therefore, engaged H&M Mechanical to prepare an HVAC assessment report and to develop options and recommendations on the best way to provide HVAC to the facility, either as part of the Central Building project or separately. After reviewing the options with maintenance staff and the design team, it is being proposed new HVAC units be provided both on the roof of the existing Spangenberg Theater and the new expanded lobby portion of the building. Therefore, this work is best done by incorporating it into the larger Central Building Project. In addition, adding HVAC to the building will require that code updates be made to the building as part of the project. Fire alarm system upgrades to an addressable system and access compliance requirements will be needed, requiring more work for DLM than previously anticipated.

1

Therefore, staff is also proposing the Central Building project budget be increased by the $1,710,035 amount currently in the Gunn Reserve. This will result in the Central Project building budget increasing from $19,374,242 to $21,084,277. To reflect the increase of scope to the project and to account for the design changes approved earlier this year, DLM has proposed an increase in their fee in the amount of $302,640 and $15,132 for reimbursable expenses. This proposal includes three major changes to their scope of work.

1. Making the design changes to add the Wellness Center to the scope of work, approved by the Board on January 13, 2015.

2. Relocation of the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) from the old Library to Building E to avoid disruption to the campus data infrastructure.

3. The addition of HVAC and fire alarm upgrade scope to Spangenberg Theater. 4. Incorporating access compliance requirements to Spangenberg Theater.

DLM’s proposal for these design changes is attached for further detail on these changes and the impact to their work on the project. PROPOSAL It is proposed the Board of Education approve the proposed program change, budget adjustment and Addendum for DLM for the Central Building Project at Gunn High School. FISCAL IMPACT The project will be funded with the transferred funds from the Strong Schools Bond Gunn Reserve and the Gunn High School Central Building project fund.
