Program: Human Resources Program No.: Various Program Budget Manager: Danniella Ewen Division: Personnel Support Services MLO Item No.: 3 Division Head: Dr. Mary Thurman Item Description: Education Support Professional (ESP) Attraction and Retention Alignment with District Business Plan Goal: Goal 1: Demonstrate improvement in student achievement Goal 2: Demonstrate a high performing team Goal 7: Demonstrate fiscal prudence and financial responsibility This PIP Aligns with Ballot Question Point: #TBD Explanation of Use of Resources: The proposal is to provide a 10 percent across the board compensation increase for six (6) job families (clerical, crafts, food service, instruction/education aides, service maintenance, and transportation) within the Education Support Professionals (ESP) and a five percent across the board compensation increase to one (1) job family (specialist) to help the District attract and retain the most highly qualified candidates. The specialist job family is significantly closer to the market than the other six job families and thus the reasoning to provide a five percent across the board increase vs. a 10 percent across the board increase. In addition to the across the board compensation increases, a one-step increase is recommended to be provided to those employees with more than twenty (20) years of experience in order to reward long tenured employees and to help reduce compression. Of the proposed figure, $1,800,000 will be used to implement market study recommendations in order to provide additional increases to staff within the seven (7) ESP job families (clerical, crafts, food service, instruction/education aides, service maintenance, specialist and transportation). The additional increases will be determined based on the priority of needs within the seven job families (e.g. food service workers, transportation, etc.) and how far off the market the positions are when compared to other districts. Description for Use of Funds and Calculations: The proposal is for Education Support Professional (ESP) employees in six (6) of our seven (7) job families be provided a 10 percent across the board compensation increase and the remaining job family will be provided with a five percent across the board compensation increase. In addition, the recommendation is for $1,800,000 of the total amount requested be used to implement our annual market study recommendations in order to provide additional compensation increases to ESP staff. The recommended increases will be applied to Step 1 of the District’s Education Support Professional 25 Step Salary Schedule, which will increase all 25 steps respectively.

During the first semester of the 2016-17 school year current high school SROs responded to 92 calls for service at the District’s middle schools, participated in 21 middle school mediations, made 10 arrests at middle schools, and conducted 16 middle school training sessions. All these activities were conducted on an as-available basis. The requested resources will provide for an additional five (5) contracted full time school resource officers who will be assigned to the nine (9) middle schools. These resource officers will be scheduled to work certain days at each middle school. The officers will provide immediate response to emergency situations at middle schools, provide training to students, be a deterrent to criminal activity, act as role models to students, and assist with major events that happen at other schools on an as-available basis. The addition of these five new SRO positions will greatly help in the provision of safety and security for our middle schools. Description for Use of Funds and Calculations: These funds will be used to pay 100 percent of the school year costs to add five school resource officers. Each officer will cost $71,000 (salary and benefits) for the school year.

Program: Technical and Support Services/Network Services Program Nos.: 26400/28440 Program Budget Manager: Dan Boltjes/Ray Caplinger Division: Technology Services MLO Item No.: 6 Division Head: John McCarron Item Description: Technology Replacement Cycle Alignment with District Business Plan Goal: Goal 1: Demonstrate improvement of student achievement Goal 3: Embrace a culture of constant innovation Goal 5: Provide a safe learning and working environment Goal 6: Demonstrate operational efficiencies Goal 7: Demonstrate fiscal prudence and financial responsibility This PIP Aligns with Ballot Question Point: #TBD Explanation for Use of Resources: As the District works to meet its vision for every student prepared for a world yet to be imagined, it is meeting the demands of the 21st century by delivering personalized learning for every student, every day, in every classroom. To personalize learning, the District believes that learners should have the power to choose from a wide variety of pathways and demonstrations of learning in order to achieve educational standards in an authentic and meaningful way. The Technology Services Division supports this vision by providing reliable access to technology resources for all students and staff by replacing technology equipment on a sustainable life cycle.

Student Computer Replacement: The current student computer replacement cycle is eight to 10 years. Currently, 79 percent of district computers are six years and older. From previous mill levy override (MLO) funds, the District has $475,000 a year for student computer replacement. If the District purchases new computers using these existing funds, only 4.2 percent or 750 of the 18,000 district computers would be replaced annually. The goal is to reduce the replacement cycle to be as close as possible to a five year cycle. Server Replacement: The current server replacement cycle is seven to nine years. The District consolidated all servers from schools into the data center using a blade server system purchased in 2006. Currently, many replacement parts for this blade server system are no longer available, making it necessary to use cannibalized parts. From previous MLO funds, the District has $250,000 a year for server replacement. However, these funds are being utilized to pay for a three year lease/buyout for a fiber optic upgrade, leaving no funds for server replacement through FY 2018. The goal is to reduce the replacement cycle to be as close as possible to a five year cycle. Network Infrastructure Replacement: The current network infrastructure replacement cycle is 10 to 15 years. Currently, the replacement of network infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, phone systems, switches, storage, backups, archiving, fiber optics, firewalls, security, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and monitoring has been replaced on as needed/possible basis. From general operating funds, the District only has $90,000 a year for network infrastructure replacement. All current equipment was purchased under the previous bond with no general fund ongoing replacement or maintenance. The goal is to reduce the replacement cycle to be as close as possible to a seven year cycle.

School Infrastructure Replacement: The school equipment and classroom technology replacement cycle has yet to be established. Currently the replacement of school equipment includes but is not limited to intercom systems; gymnasium, cafetorium, and auditorium public address systems; instructional displays; projectors; TV monitors; phone system appliances; and wireless access points has no budget and has been replaced on as needed/possible basis. Equipment was purchased from the previous bond with no ongoing maintenance or replacement funding. The goal is to create a replacement cycle as close as possible to seven years. Security Camera Replacement: The security camera system replacement cycle has yet to be established. Currently, the replacement of security camera systems has no budget and has been replaced on as needed/possible basis. From general operating funds, the District allocated one-time funds of $200,000 for the last two years to support security camera system replacement. The goal is to create a replacement cycle as close as possible to 10 years.

Description for Use of Funds and Calculations: Funds will support replacement cycle plan and continue server upgrades. Capital Equipment $900,000

Program: Technology and Support Services/Network Services Program Nos.: 28400/28440 Program Budget Manager: Dan Boltjes/Ray Caplinger Division: Technology Services MLO Item No.: 7 Division Head: John McCarron Item Description: Technology Support Enhancements Alignment with District Business Plan Goal: Goal 1: Demonstrate improvement of student achievement Goal 3: Embrace a culture of constant innovation This PIP Aligns with Ballot Question Point: #TBD Explanation for Use of Resources: Technology Services is understaffed in two areas: Technical Services and Network Services when compared to similar size organizations in business. Since the original bond of 1997-98, the demand for technology in the District has increased, while technology staffing levels have remained the same. In fact, over the past 18 years, the District has grown from 14,000 computers to over 18,000. In addition to the computers, Network Services has added wireless networking in all district buildings, added private cloud storage services, added hundreds of switches and other devices, and increased the number of servers to accommodate increased demands of applications. In Technical Services, one computer technician services 3,500 devices while a comparable ratio in business at the high end is 1:2,000 devices. We are asking for two technical operations support specialists. These additional staff will bring our ratio into better alignment with 1:2,250 while providing improved customer service to schools with faster turnaround for equipment repair. With faster repair services, equipment returning to schools will have a positive impact on instruction in the classroom. In Network Services, the necessity to maintain a high level of security increases every day while providing 24/7 access 365 days a year services. Current staff is stretched very thin for maintenance, upgrade and management as they support an ever growing network. Network support service tasks include backups, disaster recovery, and storage, archiving, and providing e-mail e-discovery for 10 years. Other services include storing and providing access to financial records for seven years and to student documents almost forever. Many times upgrades and outages require staff to report to work at 2:00 a.m. to perform upgrades or equipment replacement and/or installations, and workloads require that they stay through the workday to perform routine job expectations. We are asking for two additional staff to relieve the current workload on existing staff members. This would enable us to perform almost all upgrades, replacements, and routine maintenance after hours without affecting staff and students during the work or school day. Description for Use of Funds and Calculations: Four additional FTE: two technical operations support specialists and two junior network engineers.

Program: Facilities Maintenance and Operations Program No.: 26230 Program Budget Manager: Scott Lewis Division: Business Services MLO Item No.: 8 Division Head: Glenn Gustafson Item Description: Capital Renewal and Capital Improvements Alignment with District Business Plan Goal: Goal 1: Demonstrate improvement of student achievement Goal 5: Provide a safe learning and working environment Goal 7: Demonstrate fiscal prudence and financial responsibility This PIP Aligns with Ballot Question Point: #TBD Explanation for Use of Resources: This line item proposed to protect the District’s investment in real property (facilities), assets (schools), and update facilities to accommodate modern teaching methods and technology. External facility managers generally recommend funding annual maintenance and repair budgets at two percent of the replacement cost of the facilities. For District 11, that is approximately $18 to $20 million. Current annual funding is approximately $1.5 million. At $18.7 million, the proposed will provide a reliable funding stream to repair and improve our facilities on a long term basis. Description for Use of Funds and Calculations: Capital renewal includes: deferred maintenance, major maintenance, major repairs, and component replacements. It may include some alterations if that will allow the facility to accommodate an updated function. It also includes the replacement of building subsystems such as roofs, electrical systems, heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems and plumbing systems that have reached the end of their economic or useful life. Capital improvements may also include the addition of capital projects to the existing facility infrastructure. Some of the major categories include: asphalt and concrete pavements, bleachers, ceilings, doors and door hardware, electrical systems, elevators, windows and walls, fire alarms and sprinklers, tile and carpet replacements, foundation work, heating and ventilation systems (boilers, air handlers), air conditioning systems (chillers, ventilators), cafeterias, libraries, gymnasiums, swimming pools, exterior grounds (playgrounds, tracks, and sports fields), plumbing fixtures and associated piping, portable buildings, roofs, sanitary and storm sewers, and security alarms and cameras. In some cases, where cost-appropriate, it may support major remodels or updates, and/or replacement facilities. Staff will be hired as appropriate to manage the workload. These staff positions will be added to plan execute the work so they do not exceed five percent of the working budget. Total amount of request for funding 11 new FTE is $899,242. The planned FTE breakout is as follows: Capital Program Manager Executive Professional 1 FTE Project Manager Executive Professional 4 FTE Procurement Contracting Officer Executive Professional 1 FTE CAD/Engineering Assistant Educational Support Professional 1 FTE Scheduler/Planner Educational Support Professional 2 FTE Administrative Assistant Educational Support Professional 2 FTE
