Super Co-Op also assists in commodity dollar/poundage tracking, and product processing (example: Tyson chicken). The District receives government funds that are transferred into pounds of product which is either accepted whole, or sent to processors for a discounted product. For example, the fair market value of a case of diced cooked chicken is $99.99; however, with commodity processing and exchanging government owned chicken to the processor, the case price is lowered to $63.65 for a total savings of $36.34 per purchased case. This allows the Student Nutrition Department to create an affordable meal for the students while staying within budget. 

Staff recommends approval of the agreement with Super Co-Op to allow the District to renew the membership for the 2022-23 school year.

Under the proposed Agreement, SPURR will procure fixed rate gas for 40% of District's needs, based on historical usage, through a competitive process at the start of each fiscal year. Fixed rates set for the entire year help protect the District's budget from market fluctuations. The District's remaining 60% of natural gas needs will be procured competitively and priced at variable rates that change monthly with the market. The District can choose to terminate the Agreement annually or elect higher or lower levels of fixed rates to suit its needs.

Attached is an average monthly gas supply comparison from 2006 through 2017 between SPURR and PG&E. During this time period SPURR has outperformed PG&E. 

The attached document lists the contracts executed by the Superintendent or designee for the months of October and November 2021.

On November 19, 2021, the Policy Subcommittee reviewed and approved the attached policy changes. The policies with yellow highlights are CSBA updates and policies with yellow highlights and red texts are updates made during the Board Policy Subcommittee meeting.  These policies are presented to the Board tonight for their approval.

After review of the most recent census data, the District’s demographer (SchoolWorks, Inc.) has determined that the current trustee area maps are now no longer in compliance with California Education Code section 5019 since the population is no longer balanced.  SchoolWorks, Inc. will provide an overview of the most recent census data as well as draft adjusted map options for discussion and input. A Public Hearing will follow this agenda item to give an opportunity to the community to provide feedback.

As part of the redistricting process, at its January 4, 2022 Board Meeting, the Governing Board will hold a second Public Hearing on the adjusted maps. On February 1, 2022, the Board will be asked to adopt a Resolution, the final trustee area maps, and any additional required documentation to the County Committee on School District Organization and Registrar of Voters and to take any other necessary action to effectuate the purposes of this resolution and to readopt the trustee area map plan. This will provide ample time to ensure approval, compliance, and submission to County well in advance of the February 28, 2022 deadline. The new trustee area maps will be put into effect for the November 2022 Board elections.

The District has hired professional demographers, SchoolWorks, Inc., to draft and revise maps for consideration by the public and the Board of Education. The draft “revised maps” will ensure appropriate population balance and will incorporate feedback received by the Board and the community. An additional Public Hearing will be conducted at the January 4, 2022 Board meeting so that members of the public can provide input on boundaries as well as possible revisions of maps.

It is anticipated that the Board will adopt a resolution establishing revised trustee boundaries on February 1, 2022. After adoption of a new map, it will be sent to the County Superintendent of Schools and the County Registrar of Voters. The County Registrar of Voters will then adjust precinct boundaries before the filing deadline for the November 2022 trustee election and the new map will be used for the first time in the November 2022 election.
