J13A Holy Fire District - Pathways for Adult Skills.pdf
Summary: Education Code Section 41422 allows the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) to grant normal apportionment credit to districts in emergencies in instances when one or more schools must be closed because of "extraordinary conditions." School districts may submit form J13A, Request for Allowance of Attendance Because of Emergency Conditions, to the California Department of Education (CDE) to receive Average Daily Attendance (ADA) credit and instructional time credit for the day(s) and minutes lost to the emergency closure.

The District is seeking to obtain approval for credit of attendance and instructional minutes lost as a result of the Holy Fire and unhealthy air conditions that occurred throughout the day and into the evening of Thursday, August 9, 2018, and Friday, August 10, 2018 impacting air quality conditions for students and staff. The Pathways for Adult Skills waiver request was delayed due to awaiting confirmation from both the external auditors; (Vavrinek, Trine and Day), and the California Department of Education (CDE) in regards to apportionment reporting.
Funding: No fiscal impact - Upon approval from the California Department of Education, the District would remain revenue neutral.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve Form J-13A, "Request for Allowance of Attendance Because of Emergency Conditions", as a result of the August 2018 California wildfires, specifically, the Holy Fire.
