PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public Comments
Ms. Heidi Lane addressed the Board regarding security at the schools. INFORMATION AND STUDY ITEMS
Information/Study
Dr. Blow commented that staff added two additional instructional days to the calendar that 2013-14 Calendar
was presented previously. One day was added at the end of the year making the final day of school Friday, June 6. The originally proposed February professional development day was moved to August 13. The calendar still aligns with the high school district’s calendar. On a motion by Mrs. Sneed, seconded by Mrs. Brown and carried, the Board approved the Dr. Blow commented that Resolution 12-13-07, Observance of a Holiday on an Alternate Res. 12-13-07, Observe
Date allows the District flexibility in the observance of Lincoln Day. Education Code Holiday on Alt Date
states Lincoln Day is to be recognized on the Monday or Friday in which February 12 occurs. It also states that a school district may revise the date upon which the schools close in observance of an identified holiday, excluding Veterans Day, by the adoption of a resolution. Therefore, this resolution determines the observance of Lincoln Day to be February 21, 2014, instead of the state accepted dates of February 10 or 14. On a motion by Mrs. Brown, seconded by Mr. Aronson and carried, the Board approved Resolution 12-13-07, Observance of a Holiday on an Alternate Date determining that Lincoln Day be observed on February 21, 2014. Dr. Blow commented that several months ago the Board had a discussion regarding the Safety/Security
safety and security of our campuses. Since that time additional measures have been put in place, but we are looking at other ways to increase security during the school day. Mr. Kramer stated that we want to mitigate any damage that could be done by an intruder. He then addressed our needs in three levels which were to direct all staff, volunteers and visitors through the front office during instructional hours; limit access to the portables and playgrounds by securing specific areas; and secure the entire perimeter of each site. We will start by prioritizing our needs and obtaining more detailed options. CAMBRIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Dr. Blow stated that we are bringing back some information from earlier discussions Facilities, Solar, Tech.
regarding facilities. Mr. Kramer began by addressing some key elements for a potential bond which were solar installation, facility repairs and improvements, new classrooms and facilities and technology needs. A breakdown of potential improvements and costs was provided. If the Board chooses to move forward with a general obligation bond in 2014, we would need to determine bonding capacity; obtain community input; develop a facilities master plan and develop a list of projects. A possible timeline to refinance our current bonds was presented by Mr. Fox. The Board gave direction to move forward with a demographic study, identify a bond consultant, develop an RFQ for architecture firms for a facilities master plan, and create a short list of potential architects. Mr. Fox said that this is the lowest impact report we’ve had due to very few changes since 2nd Interim Rpt.
the first interim report. Bigger changes will occur when we build the actual budget. He stated that we are required to compile two interims annually to certify to the county that we can meet our financial obligations this year and for the next two years. He reviewed minor adjustments in expenses and stated that we have slightly higher ADA than last year. The local control funding formula is being looked at and we have been instructed to budget the revenue limit. Our multi-year projection was also reviewed.
