Sonoma State University offers an integrated Computer, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics one-year high school curriculum (Learn By Making) aimed at providing technology and science education to rural schools as part of a United States Department of Education impact study.  The Big Bear High School Science Department would like to offer the "Learn By Making" CSTEM course commencing with the 2021-2022 school year.

This course fuses mathematical skill-building and computational thinking applied to real-world scientific problems where solutions are constructed by students and instructors working together.  This course includes 80% hands-on teacher supervised lab activities and 20% skill-building instructional time.

This course has been specifically developed to implement Next Generation Science Standards in the high school classroom.  As such, Disciplinary Core Ideas are integrated with Crosscutting Concepts and presented in the context of Science and Engineering design practices.

The State Board of Education (SBE) adopted content standards for science curriculum to meet the requirements of California Education Code (EC) Section 60605. The SBE has the constitutional responsibility and authority to adopt instructional materials and to comply with the Williams Legislation as required by Education Code Section 35186(d). Instructional materials are broadly defined to include textbooks, technology-based materials, other education materials, and tests. EC Section 60200(b)(1) calls for instructional materials adoption to occur every eight years in science.

After teacher input, public viewing, and teacher pilots, it was determined by in-depth teacher evaluations and a recommendation from the District Middle School Curriculum Committee to recommend McGraw Hill Inspire Science California science curricula.

The curriculum adoption is for eight years. Student textbooks, teacher edition books and online resources are all included. 

FEV Tutor partners with Local Education Agency's (LEA's) educators to design an effective tutor program that provides targeted content instruction to students. FEV Tutor's support live one-on-one instruction, provides progress monitoring and 24/7 support for students.

FEV Tutor will work with Bear Valley Unified School District teachers and students in grades 4th through 12th to mitigate learning loss experienced during COVID-19 distance and hybrid learning.

The District currently projects that it will experience a cash flow shortfall during fiscal year 2020-21 created by timing differences between its anticipated expenditures and estimated receipt of revenues.  The Resolution being presented to the Governing Board authorizes a short-term borrowing by the District to address this cash flow shortfall through the issuance of tax and revenue anticipation notes (“TRANs” or “Notes”) through the CSFA State Aid Intercept Notes Program.

(a) District Resolution.  The resolution authorizes the issuance of the Notes by the District in an amount not-to-exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), specifies certain basic terms, parameters and form of the District Notes, and approves the form of the Note Purchase Agreement and Indenture described below.  In particular, the Resolution establishes the maximum aggregate principal amount of the District TRANs to be issued ($5,000,000).  The Resolution describes the State Aid Intercept procedure to assist with repayment of the District Notes, the determination of repayment periods, certain representations and covenants of the District, and the District’s Pledged Revenues.  Pursuant to the resolution, the District requests that the County Board of Supervisors notify the District within 45 calendar days following receipt of the certified copy of the Resolution, that the District may issue the District Notes on its own behalf, so that the District can participate in the CSFA State Aid Intercept Notes Program. 

(b) Form of Indenture.  Under the CSFA Program, each participating District issues a series of Notes which is sold to the CSFA.  CSFA pools each District’s Notes with Notes of other districts, and sells one or more series of Authority Notes, pursuant to an Indenture between CSFA and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee.  The Authority Notes would be purchased by joint senior managers RBC Capital Markets and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., each acting on behalf of itself and other Underwriters to be appointed by the State Treasurer at a later date, who would in turn sell the Authority Notes to the investing public.  Proceeds of the District Notes and the funds used to repay such Notes will be invested by the District in the County Treasury, or by the Trustee on the District’s behalf in another type of permitted investment under the Indenture, respectively.  District Note Proceeds will be deposited in the general fund of the District and used to finance projected cash flow deficits. 

(b)  Form of Note Purchase Agreement.  The Resolution approves the form of a District Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the District and the Authority.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Authority will agree to buy the District’s Note.  The conditions of closing the transaction are set forth in this document, including the documentation to be provided at the closing by various parties.  Upon the pricing and sale of the TRANs, the final execution copy of the Purchase Agreement will be prepared following this form and the District’s Authorized Officer will sign the Confirmation of Pricing.
