          The administration will provide information about a possible supplemental levy for educational programs and operations. The 2010 supplemental operating budget for the State of Washington was signed by Governor Gregoire on May 4, 2010. The Governor also signed a bill which increases by four percent the amount local school districts can levy their community. Effective immediately, this bill allows local school districts to ask voters for additional resources through 2017 to offset the dramatic reduction in state funding as well as the anticipated loss of federal ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funding scheduled to end following the 2011-2012 school year. At the November 3, 2009 regular meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board adopted Resolution 972: Replacement Levy for Educational Programs and Operations.

          7.  ACTION ITEMS

           a.  Resolution 993: Race to the Top Partnership Agreement

               It is the recommendation of the administration that the Board of Directors adopt  Resolution 993: Race to the Top Partnership Agreement and authorize the  Superintendent to approve the Memorandum of Agreement between the Everett School  District No. 2 and the Everett Education Association/United Teachers of Everett that  accompanies the RttT partnership agreement (ATTACHMENT). At a special meeting  of the Board on April 22, 2010, Alan Burke, deputy superintendent of OSPI, presented  information about the RttT program. Previously, the Board received written information  about the RttT program. Adoption of tonight’s resolution will authorize the District to  enter in the RttT partnership agreement for the purpose of making the District  eligible to apply for RttT funds should the state’s grant application be approved and will  provide a substantial amount of funding for District priorities. Subsequently the  Superintendent and Board President met with the Everett Education Association/United  Teachers of Everett President and agreed to the addition of a companion Memorandum  of Agreement which accompanies the state's RttT agreement form.

           
           
           b.  Proposed Addendum to Board-Superintendent Operating Protocol

             The recommendation is that the Board adopt the proposed addendum to the Board-    Superintendent operating protocol regarding responding to Board and director requests    (ATTACHMENT). At a work session of the Board held on May 5, 2010, discussion    occurred about Board requests, Board member requests and the process by which these    will be addressed. At the conclusion of the session, the attached document was      developed for proposed addition to the Board-Superintendent operating protocol.
