C.2. (Action) 2025-26 Third Interim Financial Report and Information on the Governor’s May Revision to the 2026-27 Proposed State Budget

Summary: The 2025–26 Third Interim Report for Santa Rosa City Schools projects a modestly improved unrestricted general fund position compared to earlier budgets, but the district continues to face major structural financial pressures.

Key highlights include:

  • Total unrestricted revenues are projected at about $187.9 million, slightly above the board-approved budget. LCFF funding remains the district’s primary revenue source.
  • Total unrestricted expenditures are projected at about $142.5 million, lower than budgeted by roughly $1.1 million. Savings are largely due to lowered services and operating costs.
  • Certificated salaries are projected to exceed budget expectations by nearly $3 million, while employee benefits are also higher than anticipated. 
  • The unrestricted fund is projected to end the year with a positive balance of approximately $2.8 million, a significant improvement from the originally projected negative balance of over $11 million.
  • The district is transferring substantial unrestricted dollars — about $43.8 million — to support restricted programs such as special education and categorical programs.
  • Restricted funds project approximately $53.3 million in revenues against $108.8 million in expenditures, requiring major contributions from unrestricted funds and transfers to remain solvent.
  • Restricted programs are projected to end the year with about $8.9 million in restricted fund balance reserves.
  • Significant restricted funding sources include Title I, special education grants, Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P), Arts and Music in Schools funding, and Career Technical Education grants.
  • Services and operating expenditures remain one of the district’s largest spending categories, particularly in restricted programs, where they exceed $40 million.

Overall, the report shows short-term stabilization compared to earlier projections, but ongoing reliance on unrestricted contributions to support restricted programs continues to strain the district’s financial outlook.

Additional documents will be uploaded prior to the study session. 

Report

  • It is still very unclear what savings if any have been realized by closing and consolidating campuses. There has been no publicly released documentation of any savings.
  • With the intense control of spending this year, certificated staffing is 4.6% over budget with substantial reductions in staffing, and no increase to salaries. That makes one wonder if next year’s staffing cuts are too severe to actually implement. 
  • Spending for restricted programs requires a concerning $56 million (an additional 106%) from unrestricted funds. This requires intense energy to create and implement a plan to right size spending. 
  • Services and other operating expenses remain a major concern for SRTA members. These outside contracts must be curtailed.
  • The Governors May Revision has a noticeable increase to COLA. How will decisions be made about the use of additional funds? 

D. RECONVENE TO OPEN SESSION (6 pm)

E. REPORTS (Bargaining Units, Sup, and Board)

E.4. Superintendent’s Annual Report

F. 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. Comments will be limited to 60 seconds. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time, with the exception of consent items (See section G.)

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 (unless a board member attends online without prior notice.)

Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.

  • Students thrive when their teachers thrive
  • Students learn better in environments where they feel psychologically safe, emotionally connected, and valued. Students learn best from teachers they trust. 
  • Teachers perform best when they feel valued. If teachers are burned out, unsupported, distrusted, and emotionally exhausted, students ultimately pay the price. 
  • The current steps to restore trust within our district are not sufficient. 
  • There is a perception that there are more staff members than current positions, as approved section numbers are at an all time low. Classes will be packed as supports are diminished. This is creating the image of a pressure cooker for next year.
  • The adopted cell phone policy goes beyond what can be upheld. How can a secondary campus with a handful of advisors be expected to monitor student phone usage at break and lunch? How will this be implemented? 

G. 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. 

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions 

Personnel Transactions 

EdJoin shows a total of seventy-seven current postings for two hundred ten jobs in SRCS. There are eighteen certificated opening postings (two more less than last meeting). There are a few positions posted for next year. There are fifty-eight current classified postings for one hundred eighty-nine job openings (thirteen more than the last meeting.) There are three certificated and one classified management position posted. 

We bid farewell to Debra Morrow (PHS), Elizabeth Parady (SPSV), Cindy Beurtheret (MHS), Paulina Guadalupe Lopez Javalois (PHS), Tina Peretz (SRCSA), Cassie  Kubiak (RVMS),

Christina Frost (LBES), Matthew Bowker (MCHS), Stephanie Hsu (MHS), Danielle Yount (JMES), and Andrew Hathaway (MHS) who are resigning at the end of the year, taking seventy-two years of service and experience with them. 

We bid a fond farewell to Joy Schermer (MCHS), Janice Rodeck (RVMS), Lisa DeCarbo (EAHS), Cheryl Brooks (MHS), Page Willson (PHS), Rosalinda Brady (H&H), Mary Cain PTES), Michael Persinger (JMES), Anthony Slaten (PHS), Linda Kastanis (RVMS) who are all retiring at the end of the year, after two hundred forty-seven years of combined service to our students and families. We are grateful for their service, and wish them all the best!

Changes to classified staff includes two new hires, three rehires , four resignations and three retirement. They leave taking with them sixty-one and a half years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.

We bid farewell to the following resigning administrators: Luz Perez, Exec. Director, Educational Services, Maleni Carrillo Gomez Proj. Mgr/Behavior Specialist, Kelly Briggs HCMS  Principal and Gabriela Mendoza-Torres CCLA Principal.They leave us taking nine years of experience with them.  Also, to the retiring Raphael Sanabria Custodial Manager who has 31 years of service to SRCS.

Waiting until August or later to add sections costs us valuable colleagues now and adds even more chaos to our student’s experience. To encourage SRCS to properly allocate sections now, secondary SRTA Teachers will decline taking on additional sections that would place them above full time (1.2 FTE) after the end of the 2025-26 school year. SRTA members that have caseload caps (Special Ed, etc) will decline waiving those caps. SRTA demands that the district add the necessary sections now to avoid extreme overage costs and keep teachers from being laid off due to a lack of sections. 

G.5. Approval of Contracts over $15,000

The total cost of contracts is $249,727.94.

G.8. Approval of College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership Agreement

Assembly Bill 288 established the College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) program, allowing community college districts and K–12 school districts to create formal partnerships that expand dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. The Santa Rosa Junior College Board approved the CCAP Memorandum of Understanding on May 12, 2026, and the agreement now requires approval by the Santa Rosa City Schools Board.

The CCAP agreement would allow SRCS students to take Santa Rosa Junior College courses on high school campuses during the school day, earning both high school and college credit simultaneously. The program is designed to improve college and career readiness, expand access for underrepresented students, strengthen Career Technical Education pathways, and support transitions to four-year colleges.

The agreement specifically protects K–12 staffing and school funding by ensuring that dual enrollment participation does not reduce district full-time equivalent (FTE) allocations. Students who successfully complete courses also receive weighted GPA credit.

SRCS first implemented the program at Elsie Allen High School after securing a CCAP grant in Fall 2023. In Spring 2024, SRCS secured four additional CCAP grants to expand the program districtwide. During the 2025–26 school year, six CCAP courses were offered across Elsie Allen, Maria Carrillo, and Montgomery Junior/Senior High School. A total of 78 students enrolled in fall courses with an 86% average pass rate, while 70 students are currently enrolled in spring courses.

Overall, the partnership is intended to expand equitable access to college coursework, increase early college credit opportunities, and strengthen academic and career pathways for SRCS students.

Agreement

SRTA members would appreciate reassurance that these sections are in addition to the district section allocations. If SRTA members are qualified, is it agreed that they can teach these sections? Is there transparent access to the details around this arrangement and the impacts? 

H. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

H.1. Business Services Calendar

H.1. a. Public Comment

Comments will be limited to 60 seconds. Only items on H.1. agenda are addressed at this time

H.1. b. (Discussion/Action) Approval of the 7-11 Surplus Property Committee Report

The 7-11 Committee recommends that the Board officially declare six school properties no longer needed for district educational purposes:

  • Brook Hill Elementary
  • Lewis Early Learning Academy
  • Santa Rosa French American Charter (Doyle Park Elementary)
  • Hilliard Comstock Elementary
  • Herbert Slater Middle School
  • Steele Lane Elementary

The committee recommends moving quickly to lease four of the properties — Brook Hill, Doyle Park/French American Charter, Steele Lane, and Lewis Early Learning — for housing development at fair market value after the required surplus property process is completed.

The committee recommends holding onto Herbert Slater and Hilliard Comstock for another 3–5 years so the district can explore possible community uses and avoid flooding the real estate market with too many properties at once.

The committee also recommends using 99-year leases instead of selling the properties outright. This would allow the district to keep ownership while generating ongoing revenue, with 80% going to the unrestricted general fund and 20% going to district reserves and Fund 40.

7-11 Committee Report

SRTA members appreciate the efforts of this committee. The board is encouraged to follow these recommendations. 

H.1.c. (Discussion) Deferred Maintenance Update

The ability to maintain upgraded facilities as opposed to responding to urgent repairs to facilities and equipment beyond useful life has a direct impact on the productivity of the maintenance department. An additional component is the Deferred Maintenance Plan, which has been developed and includes replacement cycles for major facilities systems, such as roofing, flooring, HVAC, etc. 

Presentation

The actual deferred maintenance plan is not attached.

H.1.d. (Discussion) SRCS Facility Use Requests and Policies

The discussion will include an overview of:

  • Current Platform: iiQEvents
  • Minimum two-week advance submission requirements for facility use requests;
  • Required documentation, including Certificates of Insurance and nonprofit verification, when applicable
  • Reservation policies related to cancellations, no-shows, and modification limitations
  • Monthly invoicing procedures for facility use and related operational costs; using the Board-approved SRCS Community Use of School Facilities Fee Schedule
  • Community communication resources and user support materials available through iiQEvents
  • Development of joint use agreements when appropriate

Fee Schedule

SRCS is a vital member of the Santa Rosa community. Our facilities are an important part of local life. 

With the decline of administrative positions on sites, the processing of facility use permits is likely to become a non essential task. 

There is no financial benefit to sites for hosting outside groups. Actually, it can cost sites, because if items are broken during rentals, it is up to the site to replace them. SRTA members support a portion of rental fees being shared with sites. 

H.1.d. (Discussion) Update on Child Nutrition Services (CNS)

The CNS department will provide updates on program achievements, operations, and finances, including recognition of Rosalba Estrada de Martinez as Classified School Employee of the Year in the Food and Nutrition category. 

Fund 13 remains financially strong with maximum allowable reserves, and CNS expects to end the 2025/26 school year with a positive balance that will be reinvested into student meal programs.

Updates also include expanded meal service at Santa Rosa and Montgomery Junior Senior High Schools, staff training in scratch cooking and food safety, and approximately $360,000 invested in capital equipment, much of it supporting meal preparation and service at school sites. 

CNS highlights nutrition education efforts, sustained local food purchasing, and successful implementation of plastic-free meal programs at two elementary schools, with plans to expand in 2026/27.

Presentation

Additional Information

How is the CNS program evaluated? What methods are used to ensure that sites have enough food for students, to avoid students eager to leave class early to ensure they can be fed? How are student opinions collected to assess their satisfaction with menu items?

H.2.d. (Action) Approval of Santa Rosa Teachers Association (SRTA) 25-26 #7 MOU Impacts and Effects of School Consolidation and Closure Transition

The MOU is intended to protect employee rights, reduce disruption during consolidations and closures, and clarify working conditions during the transition process. Key provisions include:

  • Teachers displaced by closures or consolidations will retain transfer rights under the collective bargaining agreement.
  • Staff at Steele Lane and Hilliard Comstock who voluntarily relocate to open positions or new junior high programs can choose placements by seniority before involuntary transfers occur.
  • Junior high (7–8) and high school (9–12) programs at consolidated campuses will continue to be treated separately for staffing, transfers, schedules, and contract provisions during the transition period.
  • Schools sharing campuses will continue voting independently on bell schedules.
  • If classroom space is limited, teachers may share classrooms, but the district must provide adequate materials, storage, workspace, prep areas, and classroom resources.
  • Protections are included for special education staff and students to ensure IEP services continue during transitions.
  • The district must complete classroom setup and physical moves before August 3.

The MOU was ratified by  SRTA  members.

Closure and Consolidation MOU

SRTA supports this MOU.

H.2.e. (Action) Approval of Final Decision of Reclassifications for California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 75

Increased workload is not enough to reclassify a classified employee, there must be evidence of significant new duties and responsibilities. 

  • Account Clerk III – Reclassification Denied
  • Lead Food Service Worker – Reclassification Recommended for this 1 employee.

Panel Summary

Appendix E

SRTA members are concerned for our classified employees who are experiencing significant increases to their workload.

H.2.f. (Action) Approval of Amendment of the Interim Associate Superintendent/Chief Business Official (CBO) Employment Contract

The Board is being asked to approve an amendment to Interim Associate Superintendent/CBO Luz Cazares’ employment agreement, increasing her position from 50% to 75% FTE retroactive to July 1, 2025.

The change reflects a greater-than-expected workload, largely caused by vacancies in the fiscal department during the 2025–26 school year. 

Under the amendment:

  • Her salary will be adjusted to reflect 75% FTE.
  • Her annual work year will increase proportionally to 168.75 days.
  • Benefits and automobile stipend will remain unchanged.

The updated salary and benefits cost for 2025–26 is approximately $229,551, an increase of about $76,000 over the previously approved 50% position. However, the district states the added cost is partially offset by savings from vacant fiscal department positions.

Amended Contract

SRTA members wonder where the funding that is not offset by vacancies is coming from to offset this additional expense.  

Greater than expected workload is not enough to increase the pay for classified employees. 

SRTA members are upset that an administrative position is the top priority for action.

    • Request to include details on all funding sources for each school site as well as enrollment and unduplicated counts. 

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

Plan for pivoting from A-G for all. 

Medina- AP instruction data with number of years of experience of Teachers

-Clarification about board policy adoption requiring a majority of board membership versus a majority of those present/voting

– consider E-sports clubs or teams 

Caston- Site funding finance report with various amounts and sources

-update 3510 policy around reducing waste as a discussion item

– Communication plan. 

Prak – Info about a non voting teacher on the board. 

Kirby – add an assistant wrestling coach for women? 

– Copies of the panorama and youth truth surveys. 

DeLaTorre- facility fee, possible reductions?

– Data on waiver’s impact on graduation rates. 

– Info on how we identify College and Career readiness.

Jenkins — projected enrollment for next year. 

– marketing plan update as committed to last year.

  • Approval of Mental Health Coordinator Position (delayed from Feb 2026)
  • Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) Update (Dec 2025)
  • Panorama and Youth Truth Survey Data (August 2025)
  • Restorative Practices Data (March 2025)
  • Plan and timeline for implementation of Dr. Gillespie’s recommendations around Special Services (January 2025), Requesting New FCMAT Study on SRCS SpEd Program
  • First Draft of the District Safety Plan (delayed from September 2024)
  • Sharing the Library Master Plan with implementation expectations
  • Officially Closing Learning House, and other sites
  • 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
  • Long standing request for site budgets including all sources as well as enrollment and unduplicated numbers.

K.3. Board Subcommittee Meeting Dates

  • Monday, June 1, 2026 Board Finance Subcommittee
  • Thursday, June 18, 2026  Board Policy Subcommittee

SRTA members are appreciative of this transparency.

K.4. Non-Public School/Non-Public Agency Contract Update

No changes to report at this time in Non-Public Agencies. This will also be discussed during a special services update to the Board at a future meeting.

Total$17,941,585.66$25,141,900.71$7,200,315.05

SRTA members support students getting the services they need. A review of the demographics of students receiving these services seems prudent. There must be a system in place to ensure this is done in an equitable way. 

How can the tide be seriously turned to limit outside contracts for positions that should be in house hires? The most recent pay raise was a small help, but these contracts show us paying far more to outside agencies than it would cost to hire. 

K.5. Special Services Update

Special Services Updates The Special Services Department is proposing a restructuring plan aimed at creating a more sustainable and organized leadership system focused on districtwide consistency, compliance, and student support.

The new model would shift away from managing programs by school site and instead assign leaders to specific functional areas, including:

  • Compliance, data, and legal requirements
  • Non-public and out-of-district placements
  • Tier 3 behavior supports
  • Early childhood education
  • Extensive support needs
  • Districtwide mental health services
  • Section 504 coordination and implementation

The district says the restructure is part of broader Special Education System Improvement efforts focused on:

  • Clarifying staff roles and responsibilities
  • Improving communication between schools and district supports
  • Strengthening MTSS and SST intervention systems
  • Creating more consistent procedures for behavior, discipline, placements, and 504 plans

The proposal also aims to expand support services beyond students with IEPs by providing earlier intervention and consultation for general education students, including multilingual learners.
