Recommended Action
That the Board approves the continued Agreement between Graduation Alliance and Edmonds School District for the WA ALE Dropout Recovery Program.

Information: 

This Agreement has been in place with Graduation Alliance since the 2020-2021 school year. However, the student enrollment FTE has now exceeded the funding threshold per school board policy and now requires Board approval for this program. The Program standard reimbursement rates from District to Graduation Alliance are based on the Basic Education Allocation (BEA) determined by OSPI. 

Background: 

The purpose of this program is to support the statewide Alternative Learning Experience to provide educational opportunities for students to earn high school course credits. 

 

Our active enrollment in Graduation Alliance Dropout Recovery continues to increase.  As of today we currently have 68 students who are full-time in GA and another 9 who are in the process of completing enrollment.  This represents an increase in full-time enrollments of +30 students over the year before.  Based on this increase in enrollment we have to increase the amount we originally budgeted for Graduation Alliance.  As a reminder, GA is a flow-through for us.  They contact and re-enroll students in Edmonds who have previously dropped out of school.  We collect the state apportionment for these students and then Graduation Alliance bills us and collects 92% of the apportionment and Edmonds keeps 8% for indirect costs.

That the Board approves the Agreement between Graduation Alliance and Edmonds School District for the WA 1418 Dropout Recovery Program.

Information:   

The intent is to start the Open Doors Program this Spring with those seniors in the class of 2023 who will not graduate with their peers because they are credit deficient, defined as being more than 6 credits behind at the end of their senior year. We will continue to provide opportunities for students to complete their credits, including returning to their home high school for a 5th year if they choose. 

 

Background:

Open Doors Youth Reengagement is a reengagement system that provides education and services to older youth, ages 16-21, who have dropped out of school or are not expected to graduate from high school by the age of 21. 

Open Doors reengages disconnected youth through programs that encourage community partnerships, create multiple pathways for students to realize success and provide an on-ramp to post-secondary achievement through a performance-based individualized support model.

Recommended Action
That the board of directors approve the award of the 2023 Edmonds Wireless Cabling project contract to The Integrated Technologies Group Inc.

Information: 

We recommend that the board award a contract to move and re-orient wireless access points (WAPs) at nine schools. Similar work has been completed at all the other schools within the district. WAPs allow laptop computers, Chromebooks, mobile phones, and other mobile devices to connect to our network and the Internet. 

 

Background: 

The district currently has over 1800 wireless access points with a minimum of one per classroom or instructional space, and larger spaces have several. Some of the access points in each building need to be relocated or re-oriented to a location which will provide better wireless coverage. For example, by changing the location of WAPs installed above lights or next to large pipes signal interference can be reduced or eliminated and improve wireless coverage. By re-orienting WAPs that were installed vertically instead of horizontally, wireless access coverage can also be improved.

As part of the RFP process, district staff solicited vendors to submit information. Vendors were scored on the information they provided, their experience performing this type of work, as well as the overall project cost. 

This project was budgeted as part of the 2020 Capital/Tech Levy, and will include furnishing some new cabling, as well as the physical installation of that hardware throughout the district.

Moving Capital Project Funds to the General Fund
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the Board approve Resolution #23-04.

Information: Resolution #23-04, Redirection of Capital Project Funds to the General Fund

 

Background: RCW 28A.335.060 allows certain moneys derived from real property to be diverted from the Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund with Board approval. The diverted funds, however, must be used for non-recurring costs related to operating school facilities, including expenses for maintenance.

 

In 1999, 2006 and 2015 cellular towers were installed at the Meadowdale Playfields site. The District has lease agreements with cellular providers and the revenue generated from these agreements is directed into the Capital Projects Fund per RCW 28A.335.060 and managed by Facilities. 

 

District staff have evaluated all funding options and, in order to maximize all resources, recommends the diversion of Capital Projects Fund revenue to the General Fund. Resolution #23-04 recommends that up to $100,000 be redirected from the Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund in fiscal year 23-24.

Recommended Action
It is recommended that the Board of Directors approve the new in lieu of modernization resolution for the replacement of Oak Heights Elementary.

Information: 

Approval of Resolution #23-05 for Oak Heights Elementary replacement to be New in Lieu of modernization, as required by OSPI to participate in the School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP).

 

Background: 

Edmonds School District intends to complete the replacement of the existing 1967 Oak Heights Elementary School, by constructing new administration, commons, gym, library, music, central plant, classrooms, significant site improvements, and other facilities. The construction is funded by the 2021 Levy and is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2025. The new school will be constructed on the current Oak Heights Elementary site and will replace the existing facilities that are functionally obsolete, past their useful life, and lacking many of the affordances required to facilitate student learning. 

 

Eligibility for OSPI School Construction Assistance (SCA) requires that the Board adopt a resolution in the form described below.

                                               
OSPI’s construction assistance process permits school districts to construct new facilities in lieu of modernizing an existing school. One of the requirements for new in lieu projects is that the Board of Directors must adopt a resolution certifying that the space to be replaced will not be used for instructional purposes after the new construction is completed and that the facility or space will be ineligible for any future financial assistance (see WAC 392-347-042). The design of the new Oak Heights Elementary School involves the demolition of the entire existing school. Therefore, such a certification poses little risk for the District.
