| Item Title: | First Reading of Selected Board Policies in the 3000 Series - Business and Non-Instructional Operations | | Agenda Title: | First Reading of Selected Board Policies in the 3000 Series - Business and Non-Instructional Operations | | Background: | Board Policy 3111 deleted since new law (AB 97) repealed sections of law containing requirements pertaining to deferred maintenance categorical funds. Pursuant to AB 97, such funds have been redirected into the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the board has exclusive authority over the use of the funds.
Board Policy 3311 updated to reflect new law (AB 1565, 2012) which requires (1) prequalification of all general contractors and electrical, mechanical, and plumbing subcontractors for public projects of $1 million or more awarded on or after January 1, 2014, if School Facilities Program funds or other future state school bonds are used, and (2) a uniform system of rating bidders based on completed questionnaires and model guidelines developed by the Department of Industrial Relations. Policy also reflects court decision highlighting the importance of disclosing all material information in bid specifications. Policy contains new statement expressing the Board's goal to ensure transparency and the prudent expenditure of public funds. Policy also contains updated legal references and management resources. | | Recommendation: | It is recommended that the Board of Education review the proposed changes to selected Board Policies in the 3000 Series, and provide feedback to staff. | | Resource Person: | Meg Jette, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services | | Fiscal Impact: | None | | Funding Source: | |
