SIERRA WINS NORCAL (Manteca Bulletin)

Historic trip Saturday to Chowchilla for state title

December 14, 2015

YUBA CITY – Geo Juarez would have nothing to do with it.

With Sutter trailing by four points and facing a fourth down with time running down Saturday night, the Huskies’ Ben Huevelhorst caught a pass short of the first down. Juarez stuffed him on the spot, giving Sierra the ball. Mark Vicente took a knee twice and the Timberwolves made history as the first Manteca Unified school to play for a state football championship thanks to a 17-13 win over perennial North Section powerhouse Sutter in the CIF NorCal Division IV-A championship at River Valley High School.

“I saw him break on his route,” Juarez said. “I saw it all the way and I jumped it.”

All the game’s touchdowns were scored in the first quarter. Mark Paule Jr. capped off Sierra scoring drives of 80 and 54 yards with a pair of 1-yard plunges. After Paule Jr.’s first plunge, Bryce Kunkle returned the ensuing kick 93 yards for a touchdown for the Huskies.

Following that first quarter, it was all about defense. Ten-time North Section champion Sutter (9-5) came into Saturday night averaging 440 yards per game and did not even get 200. Credit the defensive front of the Timberwolves (9-5), led by Andrew Guevara. Of the five Sierra sacks, Guevara had 2.5 along with a tackle for a loss. Dilpreet Singh and Fernando Vega also spent plenty of time in the Sutter backfield.

“We practiced really hard for this one,” Guevara said. “We really wanted it and came out with heart. We finished with heart, too.”

Things nearly got away from Sierra in the fourth quarter. With 9:03 left in the game, Sutter tried a trick play from the Timberwolves 17-yard line on third down that was supposed to be a lateral followed by a pass downfield. It fooled the Sierra defense and appeared to work for a touchdown and the lead, but the lateral was ruled to be a forward pass, making the downfield throw an illegal forward pass. That penalty is a loss of down, and the ensuing protest by the Huskies led to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, taking them out of field-goal range.

Two plays later the Timberwolves fumbled the ball away inside their 20-yard line, and again, the defense came to the rescue. Sutter lost 8 yards on that drive and missed another field goal, setting up a game-clinching eight-play, 70-yard drive capped off by a Marcos Castillo’s 26-yard field goal with 2:53 left in the game to make the score 17-13.

“I just had to concentrate,” Castillo said. “And get that ball through the uprights.”

The first play of that final Sierra drive was a 41-yard scamper by quarterback Mark Vicente right up the Timberwolves sideline. Vicente was 10 of 18 passing for 87 yards and one interception while leading all rushers with 16 carries for 103 yards.

“We came out strong in the first quarter,” Vicente said. “But we came out kind of weak in the second quarter.

“We had to pick things up in the second half – I had to pick my things up – we had to take care of business. And our defense stopped them all day.”

The Huskies defense focused on Paule Jr., but he still managed to gain 98 yards on 21 carries with four receptions for 33 yards. Daniel Wyatt was Castillo’s favorite target, pulling in five passes for 44 yards.

“We are going to state,” Paule Jr. said. “All the hard work paid off.

“It was all about our defense. Defense wins games, and defense wins championships, just like it did tonight.”

Sierra coach Jeff Harbison followed suit with his assessment of the defense’s contribution to the win.

“This was one heck of a defensive game,” Harbison said. “My hat is off to Sutter. They were a formidable opponent to say the least. They were very stout defensively. We got a few breaks that went our way and we ended up on the better end of the scoreboard.

“We are peaking right now as a team. All three parts of the game are peaking and let’s roll that into next week.”

As for this week, following road wins at Calaveras and on Saturday the Timberwolves have one more road trip – to Chowchilla. The Redskins downed Fairfax-Los Angeles 28-16 on Saturday for the SoCal Division IV-A championship and will host Sierra on Saturday at 6 p.m. for the state championship.

MUSD Steps Up Pressure on Drug Use (Manteca Bulletin) Dennis Wyatt [email protected] 209-249-3519 December 12, 2015

Xanax is a prescription drug that is often abused. Some abusers try to mask Xanax in water to avoid detection. That may fool some but not highly-trained drug-sniffing dogs. It is one of the reasons why the Manteca Unified School District board at the suggestion of trustee Stephen Schluer is spending $12,000 to expand the use of drug sniffing dogs for random visits to campuses. It is part of a bid to further reduce the presence of drugs in schools. Schluer, a detective with the Manteca Police Department and former school resource officer, knows firsthand of how effective the dogs the district uses through Canine Detection Services are at sniffing out drugs. Currently the service is used on an individual case basis whenever school administrators become aware of an increase of drugs on campuses. Superintendent Jason Messer made it clear drugs can be a problem and the district does what it needs to do to deal with the problem. That said the numbers of suspensions and expulsions for drug, alcohol and tobacco related offenses are on the low side compared to many nearby districts as well as districts of comparable size. During the current school year that started in August there have been 107 suspensions and 5 expulsions among the district’s 23,500 students for drug and alcohol offenses. All but 19 were at the high school level. There have been 86 suspensions for possession or use of drugs, 12 for possession or use of alcohol, four suspensions for possession or use of tobacco, three possessions for the sale of drugs, and two suspensions for possession or use of imitation drugs. Three of the expulsions were for the sale of drugs and two were for use or possession of drugs. Due to the extensive policies and procedures in place to deal with drug-related issued rarely do suspensions and expulsions reach the hearing level as they do in a number of districts as issues and consequences are extensively vetted with parents and guardians. While Messer believes efforts such as the Q-15 regarding driving and drinking, school resource officers, Red Ribbon Week, and other such endeavors have helped reduce drug issues over the years on Manteca Unified campuses, he said one of the biggest impacts may be society’s changing attitudes toward some illegal substances. “In many cases the consequences are now much more severe for a student to have drugs on a school campus than elsewhere,” Messer said in reference to relaxed criminal penalties. Messer noted the board believes having random, unannounced visits on campuses by the drug sniffing dogs will serve as a further deterrent to help further reduce illegal drugs at schools. The superintendent said students who come to school under the influence are referred to counseling as an intervention.

Buff Cheer Squad Performs at Raiders Game (Manteca Bulletin) Vince Rembulat [email protected] 209-249-3537 December 16, 2015

The Oakland Raiders vs. the Kansas City Chiefs game earlier this month featured a local pregame flair. The Manteca High cheer squad performed alongside the famed Raiderettes on Dec. 6 at the O.co Coliseum. The previous day, the 10 varsity cheerleaders practiced with the Raiderettes, learning the choreography while further fine-tuning their routine to the “Autumn Wind” during the four-hour session. The entertainment was moved to the pregame this year due to Tim Brown receiving his Hall of Fame award at halftime. Members of the MHS cheer squad included: Holly Anderson, Ashley Lopez, Hope Palomar, Kiara Presley, Gabrielle Pitman, Erika Decena, Anna Zito, Josslyn Bettencourt, Vanessa Alicea, and Melanie Pio. Lisa Quaresma is the head coach of the local squad and the MHS Cheer & Dance advisor.

Moody's assigns Aa2 to Manteca USD, CA's GOs, Election of 2004, Series 2006 Cusip # 564538CM6

District Office

Business Services

Rating Action: Global Credit Research - 11 Dec 2015 Rating applies to approximately $92 million in debt outstanding

New York, December 11, 2015 --

Moody's Rating

Issue: General Obligation Bonds, Election 2004, Series 2006 (Investor Requested); Rating: Aa2; Sale Amount: $2,065,412; Expected Sale Date: 08/17/2006; Rating Description: General Obligation

Opinion

Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Aa2 to Manteca Unified School District's General Obligation Bonds, Election of 2004, Series 2006 Cusip # 564538CM6. Concurrently, Moody's has affirmed the district's Aa2 rating on outstanding parity debt.

SUMMARY RATING RATIONALE

The Aa2 reflects the district's large sized and primarily residential tax base, below-average socio-economic profile, strong financial position despite anticipated draw in reserves through fiscal 2016, manageable debt position and moderate pension and OPEB costs.

The GO rating also reflects the strength of the voter-approved, unlimited property tax pledge securing the bonds and the well-established levy and collection history for the debt service levy. The county rather than the district levies, collects, and disburses the district's property taxes, including the portion constitutionally restricted to debt service on general obligation bonds.

OUTLOOK

Outlooks are usually not assigned to local government credits with this amount of debt outstanding.

WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO UP

• Significant and sustained increase in reserves and cash position

• Sizable increase in assessed value and stronger socioeconomic profile

WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO DOWN

• Significant deterioration in the district's financial profile, including reserves declining below current projections for fiscal 2016

• Substantial decline in assessed value

OBLIGOR PROFILE

The district is located 14 miles south of Stockton and 75 miles east of San Francisco. The district serves nearly all of the cities of Manteca and Lathrop as well as a small portion of the City of Stockton and other adjacent unincorporated portions of the county. In 2015 academic year the district operates 20 elementary schools, five high schools, two continuation high schools, one community day school, an adult school and a dependent charter school. Enrollment for the current academic year is 23,193 students.

The general obligation bonds are secured by the district's voter-approved unlimited property tax pledge. The county rather than the district will levy, collect, and disburse the district's property taxes, including the portion constitutionally restricted to pay debt service on general obligation bonds.

December Homeless Tip of the Month District Office

Health Services

If a school district does not follow the law, is there a penalty?

Yes. States are required to ensure that school districts in the state comply with the McKinney- Vento Act. 42

U.S.C. §§11432(f)(6), (g)(2). The U.S. Department of Education has clarified that state educational agencies

must provide technical assistance and ensure compliance of all school districts in the state. 2004 Guidance,

D-4, D-5. Therefore, the state can sanction noncompliant school districts by withholding federal funds or

other means. Families can also sue school districts in state and/or federal court. Several lawsuits have been

filed under the McKinney- Vento Act, including lawsuits in Illinois, Maryland, Alabama, New York, Hawaii,

and Pennsylvania. As a result, school districts have been forced to change their policies and practices and

pay significant attorney fees. In addition, the U.S. Department of Education regularly monitors state and

school district compliance with the McKinney-Vento Act and could withhold or require repayment of

federal funds in cases of noncompliance.

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson Applauds Signing of Every Student Succeeds Act

SACRAMENTO—State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today issued the

following statement after President Barack Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act into law:

“The Every Student Succeeds Act represents a visionary leap forward in federal education

policy. I commend the president for his leadership and thoughtfulness in signing this groundbreaking

education bill.

“To put it simply, Congress and President Obama have followed California’s lead in eliminating

categorical funded programs in favor of larger block grants, enhancing local control, and providing more

flexibility to set up accountability systems using multiple measures to assess progress instead of a

single test score.

“In California, we continue to push ahead with landmark reforms, such as the Local Control

Funding Formula, that are transforming education and better preparing students for college and careers

in the 21st century.

“I look forward to working with the federal government on regulations to implement the Every

Student Succeeds Act.”

FACILITIES DEPARTMENT

Susan Bell, Director Joan Arnold, Secretary to the Administrator of the Facilities Department Erika Leandro, Facilities Account Technician John Leandro, Construction Manager (part-time) The Facilities Planning Department (Facilities) is responsible for planning and oversight of school facilities including the acquisition of new school sites, design and construction of new facilities and the rehabilitation, relocation and addition to existing school facilities. Additional responsibilities include:

Preparation and submission of State reports relating to State funded projects

Coordinates architectural, inspection and testing services through the planning and construction phases of projects

Administration of general construction contracts/lease-leaseback contracts and agreements

Oversight of the facility accounting system to accurately reflect fiscal accountability for the District’s building program

Interfaces with other departments on issues pertaining to facilities construction The planning of new school construction projects requires an understanding of applicable codes and involves numerous steps requiring participation from several State Agencies. Throughout the life cycle of a school project Facilities is required to interact with those agencies to gain their approval either prior to or during construction of the project. Exhibit 1 presents an overview of the various steps involved to complete a school project and the agencies involved throughout those steps. Currently, Facilities is primarily focused on oversight of the Measure G bond projects and is responsible for ensuring that the goals of the Measure G bond campaign and the 2014 Facility Master Plan are met and that funds expended are consistent with those goals and expectations. Prior to the passage of Measure G the Facilities Department, under the current Director, completed the projects on the attached Exhibit 2.
