Background: Due to a significant decline in enrollment, AUSD was faced with a projected $2,400,000 deficit for 2005/06.
In February, 2005, the Board voted 5-0 to approve 2005/06 Spending Reduction totaling $1,625,000.
In June, 2005, Alameda voters approved Measure A which will provide $3,000,000 in additional funds for AUSD. Subsequently, the Board approved the 2005/06 budget reflecting all of this activity.
The approved District budget was based on certain State budget assumptions. With the passage of the State budget in early July, staff presented a high level review of the actual State budget. While the State budget did not contain required expenditures for STRS contribution, those savings were offset by the lost of mandated costs reimbursement and staff development funding. A detailed analysis of the impact on Alameda will be presented at the next meeting.
Strategic Significance: Goal # 1-12 Fiscal
10. Approval of Superintendent Search Services Proposal
Item Type: Action (15 minutes)
Background: In April, 2005, former Superintendent Alan Nishino announced he was leaving the district effective July 1, 2005. The Board of Education made a decision to appoint Ardella Dailey as the interim Superintendent for the 2005/06 school year and begin conducting the search for a permanent Superintendent in Fall, 2005.
The school board was looking for a cost effective process that provided flexibility in conducting the search. Initial research on placement services determined that all but one service provider charged full price for their services even if the placement was an internal candidate. The service provider who had a two tiered pricing structure was California School Board Association.
The California School Board Association explained that two tiered approach allows for the process to end if the internal candidate is hired. They would charge $7,800 for tier one services. If full blown search is need the cost would be $13,000.
The Board agreed to delay taking action until the next Board meeting to determine if there were any local individual capable of providing the same services at lower cost.
Fiscal Implications: Costs will not exceed $13,000.
Strategic Significance: Goal #12 - Community Involvement and Engagement
