RESOLUTION – ADULT EDUCATION WEEK: (III-B)
|
Ms Castrey gave preliminary remarks, stating that the Huntington Beach Adult School is not being closed, and that assuming the Board adopts and concurs with the Superintendent’s recommendations, they would be restructuring a number of Adult School programs in order to be able to do several things to save money. There are two considerations: Assuming concurrence, the Adult School will no longer rent space at Park View School and the district will relocate many Adult School classes, including computer classes with some downsizing to them, to campuses currently being renovated. There has been a tremendous hit to the budget and the district has to look at all options. Again, we will not be closing the Adult School. The district will be saving rent paid to Ocean View School District of $400,000, plus maintenance savings, etc. In addition, computer classes will be offered at other campuses. A plan will be developed over the next month or so. Ms Castrey appreciates staff moving quickly to do this in order to meet the March 15 deadline for giving certificated notices. She explained the process following approval of the Second Interim Report this evening. She stated that we have a proactive administration and that the education of our students is critical.
|
|
||||||
|
|
|
The second issue is the matter of the health course for which staff has asked for flexibility.
It was moved by Mrs. Henry, seconded by Mr. Garland, to adopt a resolution honoring the Huntington Beach Adult School during Adult Education Week, March 9 through March 13, 2009.
Motion unanimously carried.

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: (III-F)
|
Dr. Riley stated this Board and staff are fully in support of our Adult Education program and the Board will be considering something staff has been working on for a couple of years to approve the financing for a new Adult Education Center. Rather than paying ongoing rent to the Ocean View Elementary School District, the district will buy its own building for the Adult School. As soon as the loan is paid off, the Adult School will own its own building. This reflects how important this program is for our community. Dr. Riley reviewed the process and timeline involved with pending budget cuts and referenced questions about specific administrators, teachers and staff, indicating that the State of California has given very little time to school districts to make millions of dollars worth of cuts.

BUDGET UPDATE AND FISCAL PLAN: (V-A)
|
The Superintendent presented a budget update and fiscal plan. Dr. Riley reviewed the process and timeline, stating that it has been very frustrating for both he and district staff to compile these recommendations because the Second Interim Report has to be approved this evening and notices need to be given to certificated employees by March 15. Even though our district cut $5.5 million last year, it is now required to make an immediate reduction of $5.3 million this year and an ongoing reduction of $9 million beginning July 1, 2009. Dr. Riley stated that other districts don’t have savings so they are laying off more people. This district can get through this year with a positive balance. Dr. Riley presented a five-year plan which meets the district’s financial requirements, preserving the core academic program, and providing for a reserve for future issues such as declining enrollment or further state budget reductions. The Superintendent stated that Adult education is one of the categorical programs which allows for flexibility and reviewed how the district can save money by setting up satellites at various high schools on a two-year temporary basis.
Dr. Riley recommended that summer school not take place except for special education which is a legal requirement of the IEP. Board members asked questions and Dr. Riley stressed that this item is for information/discussion this evening, but that he did need consensus on summer school. Ms Castrey asked if any Board member had an issue with not having the same level of summer school, but that a full decision would not be made this evening. Consensus was reached.
