ACT TO APPROVE REQUEST FOR ALLOWANCES OF ATTENDANCE BECAUSE OF EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (FORM J-13A) (Mrs. Creason)
Due to the San Bernardino County wildfires in October, we had a material decrease in student attendance. Education Code Section 46392 allows us to substitute estimated days of attendance for actual days of attendance. We must submit form J-13A which requires each Board member to swear (or affirm) to the statements in Form J-13 A and sign four affidavits for VESD, Charter 101, 6th Street Prep and Mountain View Montessori.
The recommended action is for Dr. Baker to administer the required oath to all board members and for each board member to sign the required affidavits.

ACT TO ADOPT RESOLUTION #04-11 AUTHORIZING LEVYING OF SPECIAL TAXES FOR CFD NO. 2004-1 (Mr. McClatchey)
On June 30, the board adopted Ordinance 04-01 which provided for the levying and collection of special taxes within the district. The district is the lead agency in the development of the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2004-1. As the lead agency, it is necessary and appropriate that the board levy and collect the special taxes for the district for Fiscal Year 2004-05.
Annually, after April, the board will take action to adopt a resolution for the purpose of collecting taxes on parcels within the CFD that are not otherwise exempt. The resolution is sent to the county for the purpose of assessing and collecting taxes.
The recommended action is for the board to approve and adopt Resolution No.04-11 as presented.
20.
ACT TO APPROVE ADDITIONAL BIDS FOR RIDGECREST SCHOOL (Mrs. Moon)
The Board previously awarded a partial list of contractor categories for Ridgecrest School in order to begin construction. Enclosed is an additional summary of the lowest bids listing the prime contract categories that need to be awarded at this time in order to meet the district’s September 2005 school opening goal.
There are two remaining categories that are not being awarded at this time: Category 3 landscape and irrigation; and Category 10 plaster, gypsum board, and miscellaneous finishes. These categories will be re-bid.
The recommended action is to approve the bids on Categories 1, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, and 16 as presented.
21.
ACT TO APPROVE CALIFORNIA COUNCIL FOR EXCELLENCE MEMBERSHIP (Mr. McClatchey)
Mick McClatchey and Dale Marsden represent the district in the California Council for Excellence (CCE), a non-profit agency responsible for the training, certification, recognition and award of the California Award for Performance Excellence. CCE is the state-based organization representing the National Baldrige Award Criteria at the federal level. Mick and Dale graduated on July 9, 2004 as examiners for the California Award for Performance Excellence.
The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Office requires that the board approve separately any membership not included in an employee’s contract.
The recommended action is for the board to approve Mick McClatchey’s and Dale Marsden’s membership in the California Council for Excellence (CCE) retroactive to June 1, 2004.
The board will adjourn to closed session to discuss and act on:
A. Readmission of student #285438
