Summary:
|
The District would like to continue to retain the services of School Innovations and Achievement to assist with the mandated reimbursement process for the 2019-20 fiscal year through the 2021-22 fiscal year. When the California State Legislature passes a law, or the Governor or a state agency issues an executive order or regulation that constitutes a new program or higher level of service, California law requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for increased costs. This requirement was first established in 1972 with the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 90. With the approval of Proposition 4 in 1979, California voters further obligated the state to the requirement by adding Article XIII B, Section 6 to the California Constitution. The Agreement requires a subvention of funds to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs associated with mandates. The process guiding mandate determination and the ensuing subvention of funds has evolved over the years since the enactment of SB 90. In recent years, School Innovations and Achievement has successfully provided services for the District's mandated costs. These services can include submittal, review and follow-up of test claims, update of claiming instructions, claims submittal, and incorrect reduction claim submittal.
The services will not exceed $13,500 per year during each of the agreement years and include fiscal years 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. Each fiscal year within the agreement term is an “Agreement Year”, and therefore can be terminated by either party no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current agreement year within the agreement term.
Education Code 53060: District may contract with and employ any persons for the furnishing to the special services and advice in financial, economic, accounting, engineering, legal, or administrative matters if such persons are specially trained and experienced and competent to perform the special services required.
