D. Reports
SRTA looks forward to a future report on the transitions SRCS is making. There are still so many questions.
Where are the metrics for evaluating the transitions to fewer elementary sites and two 7-12 sites?
What are the expected savings on these changes coming from, specifically? Is that being realized?
How much is being spent to make these transitions?
What are the current enrollment numbers?
What is the process for deciding if programs or schools will utilize closed sites?
How will lessons learned from these actions inform the transitions underway for another 7-12 and closing another elementary site?
What is the process and timeline for implementing the next round of changes, including transforming EAHS?
In the board minutes, the motion for consolidation states that MHS will have facilities for culinary and woodshop for the 26-27 school year. Where are the plans to facilitate this?
District communication issues were cited for causing heartache this week when it was temporarily understood that middle school athletes from the transitioned middle school sites would not be utilizing their old sites for athletics. What has changed structurally to assure strong and accurate communication moving forward?
E. Public Comment on Non Agenda and Consent Items
SRTA Members are invited to complete ‘blue cards’ at the board meeting in order to make public comments. Online comments have been suspended unless a board member is attending remotely. Please be prepared to observe the three minute time limit or the imposition of a possible last minute reduction in the time limit. Comments have been limited to as little as 60 seconds, with a limit on the total time spent on public comments. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time, with the exception of consent items (See section F.)
Comments are requested at the board meeting to bring a member’s perspective and share real experiences of the impact of district policies and practices on students and staff.
Speakers are limited to just those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
F. CONSENT ITEMS
All consent items are enacted by the Board in one motion, unless a Board member requests that an item be removed and discussed separately.
F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions
EdJoin shows a total of 80 current postings for 201 jobs in SRCS. There are twenty-four certificated opening postings for twenty-five positions. There are fifty-six current classified postings for two-hundred-one job openings (five more than the last meeting). There are no certificated and no classified management positions posted.
SRTA members wonder about HR processes. When is a job posted, and an interview required, vs when can a partial position just be given to an employee? What is the process for a job to be posted on EdJoin? Why might an unfilled position currently utilizing a substitute teacher not be posted? Why would a job posting remain on Ed Join after a new employee is actively teaching in the position?
SRTA heartily welcomes Audrey Castillo ( SPSV), Sierra Overton ( SPSV), Leila Mori ( SPSV), Ashley Reich (EAHS), Alia Ismail-Nielsen (SRHS), Madison Winslow (JMES), Kyle Woodruff (EAHS), Armando Flores Partida (EAHS), Derek Piastrelli (MCHS), Danielle Durfey (HCMS), Mary Shappell King (MCHS), Zachary Asher (ARTS), Christina Pezzolo (MCHS), Timothy Wolcott (MCHS), Andrew Hathaway (MHS), Mollie Duran (EAHS), Nicolette Elliott (HVES), Julie Drogin (RVMS), Matthew Pitchford (MHS), Adrienne Boone (MCHS) and Anna Bernier (MCHS).
SRTA welcomes back the returning Elizabeth Irving (JMES), Brandi Ramos (PTES), Cynthia Miles (LELA) and Jessica Hazlewood (EdServ).
SRTA bids farewell to Clinton Sweek (ARTS) who has resigned after nearly 2 years of service to our students.
Changes to classified staff includes four new hires, six rehires, four resignations and one retirement. They leave taking with them twenty-seven years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.
There are four administrative/supervisory hires, two new School Based Therapists and two new Program Managers. Additional changes in admin are shown in the org chart but not yet in the personnel report such as Aida Diaz’s promotion from CCLA Principal to Director of PD, and Lyndsey Nash’s move to admin as a Multi-Lingual Coordinator.

Measure C and G Implementation Plan
F.6. Approval of the Lease Agreements with Enterprise Fleet Management Vehicle Replacement for Maintenance and Operations
The district owns twenty-six (26) vehicles used by the maintenance and operations department. We replaced five (5) vehicles last year in round one of the vehicle replacement program. Staff proposes that the Board consider the Lease Agreement with Enterprise for the immediate addition of six (6) vehicles within the Maintenance and Operations Department. We will bring back each year, over the next three years, an addition of five vehicles until we have replaced all twenty-six. Lease cycles for most vehicles are sixty (60) months. Utilizing this program will provide a consistent preventive maintenance cycle and substantially reduce repair expenses and potential vehicle downtime. Enterprise will also provide a full maintenance program for all vehicles which will be serviced by approved local vendors.
Total Annual Lease Cost- $79,539.00
Rate Quote/Report (Ford EV Truck)
| Monthly lease | Estimated quantity | monthly total | annual | Total paid (5yr) | MSRP total | |
| Dodge Ram | $982.76 | 1 | $982.76 | $11,793.12 | $58,965.60 | $47,055.00 |
| Ram Truck | $989.46 | 2 | $1,978.92 | $23,747.04 | $118,735.20 | $95,680.00 |
| Ford F-150 | $1,701.05 | 2 | $3,402.10 | $40,825.20 | $204,126.00 | $156,926.70 |
| Total | $6,363.78 | $76,365.36 | $381,826.80 | $299,661.70 |
Over the five year lease for these five vehicles, SRCS will pay $82,165 above the MSRP list price for these vehicles, but have nothing to show for it when the lease ends.
The average maintenance cost for a truck is less than $1,200 per year. For five vehicles this would be $30,000 for five years.
SRTA members support a replacement plan for aging and defunct items. Leasing items, so that everything is relatively new, seems ideal. However, this requires a continual financial commitment to lease payments which is a questionable tact given the financial situation of SRCS. New equipment is not the highest priority of our staff and students, when facilities are in such disrepair.
If SRCS used restricted maintenance funds to purchase equipment to replace the items in the poorest shape, there would be more funds to repair and replace parts of facilities which are desperately in need of attention.
F.7. Approval of Mandated Block Grant (MBG) Applications for 2025-26 for the Elementary School District, High School District, SRFAC, CCLA, SRCSA, SRAC
The funding rates for the 2025-26 MBG are $39.09 per ADA for Grades K-8, $76.48 per ADA for Grades 9-12, and $20.52 per ADA for Charter School Grades K-8.
Estimated Block Grant funding for 2025-26:
General Fund 01 Elementary & High Districts: $684,892
Charter Schools Funds 06-09: $34,053
2025-26 Mandated Block Grant Applications
2025-26 Programs and Activities
F.8. Approval of Resolution 2025/26-05 for the use of 2024/25 Education Protection Account (EPA) funds
Revenues generated from Proposition 30 are to be deposited into a state account called the Education Protection Account (EPA). The District must determine and report on how these unrestricted funds are spent. EPA funds cannot be used for any administrative costs. The recommendation is to use the EPA funds for teacher salary expenses. If approved, teacher salary expenses that were incurred during the 2024-25 school year will be transferred into these EPA accounts during the year-end close process. This is done at year-end because the final EPA amounts are known at that time.
For the 2024-25 fiscal year, the EPA funds are as follows:
Santa Rosa Elementary District $592,626
Santa Rosa High School District $1,828,850
Santa Rosa French American Charter School $79,929
Cesar Chavez Language Academy $145,082
Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts $70,432
Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School $24,720
F.9. Approval of Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the Piner High School Two-Story Classroom Building Project
Due to the current enrollment at Piner High School, additional capacity is needed to accommodate the 7th and 8th graders that will be housed at the site. Occupancy of the building is scheduled for August 11, 2026, with Substantial Completion, including site work, scheduled for August 31, 2026.
Project amount: $24,369,198.00
Fund 21, Measure C: $21,749,198.00 (minus the already approved pre-construction)
This contract is $5.3 million dollars less than the contract for the just completed two-story building at Montgomery.
F.10, F.11, F12, F13. Approval to file the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption for the Albert Biella ES ECE Modernization Project, James Monroe TK Buildings Project, Helen Lehman TK Buildings Project, and Santa Rosa High School Parking Lot Improvements and Fencing Project
The project qualifies for a categorical exemption from further CEQA analysis. The filing ensures the District remains in compliance with environmental review requirements under CEQA.
Notices of Exemption (Albert Biella) (James Munroe) (Helen Lehman) (Santa Rosa High)
F.14. Approval of Contracting with IAG Host for International Hiring Services
The district will save $80,724 this year utilizing this contractor to hire nine teachers. The savings comes from not paying retirement or benefit costs.
SRTA members are concerned about this action on three fronts.
First, these nine teachers were hired without any input from site staff. There is trepidation around a process which excludes teacher input. Past practice is clearly not sufficient to involve teachers in the hiring process.
Secondly, this contract raises enormous concern about the sustainability of the teaching profession. SRTA has pointed out the need to retain not just attract teachers to be able to meet the need. Improved teacher retention includes treating teachers as professionals, involving them in the decision making processes, reducing administrative burdens, supporting site cultures, and fostering effective leadership.
The last concern is for these teachers who will be in the SRTA bargaining unit, but not receiving negotiated healthcare benefits.

G.2. (Action) Approval of a Tentative Agreement Between SRCS and Teamsters Local 665 for Successor Contract 2025-2026
This contract has been under development for the past year.
SRTA members celebrate this progress for our lead custodians.
G.3. (Action) Approval of Provisional Internship Permit Application (PIP) Kelsey Fotouhi
This second PIP of the year will allow the district to fill a Special Education Teacher (SDC-ESN) position at Abraham Lincoln Elementary (1.00 FTE) for the 2025-2026 school year.
SRTA members realize the difficulty of learning the practice of teaching under the best of situations. Entering the profession without subject matter training or the course work that accompanies an internship or credential program is precarious at best.
G.4. (Discussion/Action) First Read and Possible Waive of Second Read of BP 4119.24, BP 4119.21, BP1114
SRCS proposes updating Board Policies on social media and teacher-student interactions to ensure a safe, professional, and consistent environment for everyone in our school community. The changes are a proactive response to the evolving digital landscape and are designed to provide clear expectations and protect staff, students, and the district.
The new policies establish clear, consistent guidelines for all staff. This ensures everyone understands what is and isn’t acceptable behavior on social media and other digital platforms, reducing confusion and the risk of non-compliance. These updates provide a clear framework for all professional digital interactions.
BP 4119.24– Maintaining Appropriate Adult-Student Interactions
BP 4119.21 – Professional Standards
BP 1114 – District-Sponsored Social Media
Updating Board Policy Guidelines
As a system of practice, could staff representatives be invited to the table to discuss changes to board policy that dramatically impact expectations for staff prior to the policies going to the board?
SRTA members support disciplining and releasing of employees who have seriously broken professional standards. However, there is general concern about stated “ Inappropriate Conduct” that interferes with the “Connections First” mandate of our district while not actually deterring the worst offender.
Does the board really want to deter a teacher giving a student a token gift to honor their birthday?
When students are part of a teachers’ families social network, is staff expected to withdraw from that network to abide by these standards?
How do you build a real sense of community without sharing personal information?
Using other forms of communications with students besides district email allows for timely responses.
SRTA members are certainly free to use social media during their break or lunch. Perhaps the language can be changed to something more in line with instructional time with students, not “work hours” which seems to refer to the entire school day.
“Employees shall not use District property in social media posts without the express permission of the District. This includes, without limitation, the use of District facilities, classrooms or fields as a backdrop.” This goes too far. For instance, teachers should be able to publicly share a group photo of themselves taken at school, with the school logo. Being proud and active should be encouraged and shared with our communities!
Social media standards numbered 10 and 11 appear to repeat numbers 8 and 9.
G.5. (Discussion/Action) Second Read and Consideration of BP 3100 and BP 3312 and review of AR 3311
The Board Finance Subcommittee reviewed existing fiscal processes. Based on these discussions and an in-depth evaluation, the Subcommittee recommends these updates for Board approval and the review of the Administrative Regulation updates.
BP 3100 – Budget
The Board shall annually establish budget priorities based on identified district needs and goals and on realistic projections of available funds.
The district budget shall show a complete plan and itemized statement of all proposed expenditures and all estimated revenues for the following fiscal year, together with a comparison of revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year.
The Board intends to maintain a minimum assigned and unassigned fund balance of 10% of the total restricted and unrestricted general funds. The Board deems this amount to be sufficient to maintain fiscal solvency and stability and to protect the district against unforeseen circumstances.
What is the timeline for the board to establish annual budget priorities based on district goals?
How does a complete plan and itemized statement differ from the current budget which is undecipherable for most casual readers?
Asserting the desire for a 10% reserve when a 3% is currently unattainable suggests a long term goal. What are the mediating steps to achieve that goal?
BP 3312 – Contracts
Every contract entered into on behalf of the district shall be made available for public inspection, except when the law prohibits disclosure.
The district has said it is working to become more transparent. Will all contracts continue to be included in the board agenda, or just contracts above the $15,000 amount? How would the public know a contract even existed if they are not posted in the agenda? Simply posting items on a wall at the DO does not count at transparently providing public notice.
and review of Administrative Regulation: AR 3311-Bids
Only projects over $15,000 must publicly advertise for bids.
Prequalification required to bid on projects over $1,000,000.
Exceptions are listed for not awarding jobs to the lowest bidder.
Updating Board Policy Guidelines
G.6. (Discussion) Facilities Update
Project Highlights:
- School consolidation moves were completed at 7 campuses (Albert Biella ES, Brook Hill ES, James Monroe ES, Herbert Slater MS, Santa Rosa MS, Montgomery HS, Santa Rosa HS). In total, an estimated 400 relocations occurred this summer across almost all SRCS sites. Cost: $181,178
- Infrastructure improvements were completed at multiple sites, including the Piner HS building G courtyard and the James Monroe ES drainage project.
- District-wide exterior painting (Phase 2) occurred at Abraham Lincoln ES, Rincon Valley MS, and Elsie Allen HS, each finishing under budget. Cost: $1,047,005 Savings: $73,895 (6.6%)
- Gym Floor Refinishing & Striping was completed at Santa Rosa HS, Montgomery HS, and Rincon Valley MS. Each project was also delivered below contracted costs. Cost: $185,023 Savings: $27,797 (15%)
- Phase 1 of the district-wide access control project began at four schools (Maria Carrillo HS, Montgomery HS, Santa Rosa HS, Rincon Valley MS) to enhance campus security; completion is scheduled for 2025–2026. Contract Cost: $8,186,523
- New Facilities:
- Montgomery HS Two-Story Classroom Building – construction substantially complete, occupied and operational, two months ahead of schedule. Contract Cost: $29,693,927
- Central Receiving Warehouse – construction complete, pending final punch list items and closeout. Contract Cost: $8,226,756
Work has begun for 2025-2026 projects, including new Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classroom buildings at three sites, a new two-story classroom building at Piner HS, modernization of DeSoto Hall at Santa Rosa HS, and district-wide safety upgrades such as Electronic Access Control and Fencing at all sites.
Measure C Implementation Plan (2024)
Measure G Implementation Plan (2024)
SRTA members are confused about the access control project.
Many thought this was a summer project, but it is now stated to be complete this school year.
How will these mechanisms work? Will we still have our new keys?
Who will be tasked with adjusting door access on fobs or cards? There are ongoing concerns about district control of bell schedules, and fears of great frustration if this is not controlled at the site level.
G.7. (Discussion) Updated SRCS Organizational Chart
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Superintendent | 1 | 1 |
| CTO/CBO/Assoc Sup | 1 | 1 |
| Assistant Superintendent | 2 | 2 |
| Executive Director | 10 | 9 |
| Director | 9 | 10 |
| Coordinator | 8 | 5 |
| Program Manager | 7 | 7 |
| Manager | 6 | 7 |
| Total District Administrators | 44 | 42 |
Additional information will be provided that explains in better detail the restructuring that has occurred within the District.
SRTA members feel like cuts at sites were severe, while the district office has actually grown unnecessarily. California has a maximum of 8 administrative employees allowed per 100 teachers in a unified district. If 31 site admin are assumed, the total number of teachers would need to be nearly 938 to justify those positions. SRTA records show about 864 certificated unit members at the moment. (Not all of these are teachers.) It would appear this is further evidence of being overstaffed at the district office.
Having a chart with names and positions is helpful, but it doesn’t solve the “Who should I call?” problem.

- VAPA Program Highlights (Feb 2025)
- Plan and timeline for implementation of Dr. Gillespie’s recommendations around Special Services (January 2025)
- First Draft of the District Safety Plan (delayed from September 2024)

- Plan for Staff Housing support program from the proceeds of Fir Ridge
Until the district makes a decision, the proceeds from the sale of the Fir Ridge property are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a program started could help SRCS attract and retain CSEA staff. The potential impact of the funds continues to diminish as time passes.
- Student Voice Policy
J.3. SRCS Third Interim Letter from SCOE
SRCS is called out for continued deficit spending, and put on warning about cash flow concerns. SCOE awaits a detailed fiscal recovery plan. The ability for the district to continue operations is a concern. The following areas are identified for immediate action:
- Failure to prioritize expending restricted funds before unrestricted funds
- Deficit spending in the current or two subsequent fiscal years
- Failure to decrease deficit spending over the past two fiscal years
- Decreasing and/or unstable enrollment and/or average daily attendance (ADA)
- Unstable or decreasing projected unrestricted fund balance
- Identification rate of students as eligible for special education is above the countywide and/or statewide averages
