| Beginning in the fall of 2015, NUSD began developing a District Progress Report as a snapshot of our daily work to prepare all of our students to graduate as college and career ready, productive, responsible, and engaged global citizens. This report is a tool for parents, teachers, students, and community members to monitor our performance and our progress over time to support all our students, with particular attention on specific groups of students. |

PROCEDURE: Generally, routine items are approved by one motion without discussion. The Superintendent or Board member may request that an item be pulled from the Consent Agenda and voted on separately.

As a result of the Williams v. State of California case in 2000, districts are
required to report the local county offices of education: the overall condition of
school facilities, the number of teacher misassignments and the availability of
textbooks or instructional materials.
Our District is required to submit quarterly reports to the Sacramento County Office
of Education on the number of Williams Uniform Complaints filed with our District
in the three areas previously listed. For the period of July 1, 2017 through
September 30, 2017, there were no compliance issues in the following areas:
- Sufficiency of textbooks
- Emergency of school facilities issues
- Vacancy or misassignment of teachers

| History:
1) California Assembly Bill 1565 (AB 1565) states that if the governing board of the district uses funds received pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 for contracts totaling $1,000,000, that the governing board of the district shall require perspective bidders to complete and submit, to the board of the district, a standardized pre-qualification questionnaire and financial statement. This pre-qualification questionnaire must meet the minimum requirements set forth by the Department of Industrial Relations for pre-qualification.
2) Administrative Regulation AR 3311 and Public Contract Code state that the district may establish a procedure for prequalifying bidders on a quarterly basis and may authorize that pre-qualification be considered valid for up to one calendar year following the date of the initial pre-qualification.
Through an online application process, interested bidders have submitted their pre-qualification applications for consideration. Applications have been reviewed by staff, and the attached pool of pre-qualified bidders is recommended for approval.
Once eligible bidders have been notified of their approval by NUSD, their approval can be renewed annually via the same online process. The pre-qualification process remains open throughout the year and eligible bidders seeking to be added to the pool will be presented to the Board for approval on a quarterly basis.
