SRTA extends a special invitation to the JMES and PHS staff to attend this meeting to celebrate your own.
Having something available and having a comprehensive implementation plan that actually utilizes it are very different metrics. (Panorama Playbook, Toolkit)
Complete is checked while also stating that things are not functioning at all sites. (Safe School Ambassadors, staff training on Restorative Practices and de-escalation. )
Establishing equitable staffing ratios is marked complete while the description states the work is in progress.
The need continues for an implementation plan to support the ability of each site staff to dive into their data.
SRTA wonders about data that shows the impact these efforts have made on campuses to address safety concerns.
SRTA Members are invited to complete ‘blue cards.’ 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 two or even one minute limit. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time, with the exception of consent items, which may be commented on.
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.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to agenda items that impact you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. (Action) Kid Street Charter School Charter Renewal
The Board originally approved the charter for the operation of Kid Street Charter School on April 14, 1999. The Charter School has been in operation in Santa Rosa for nearly 25 years.
Staff recommends the board grant renewal of Kid Street charter school for a term of five (5) years (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2020)
SRTA has no issue with the renewal of this charter. Transparency would be appreciated around the financial implications of this agreement, specifically in regards to the Special Services provided by SRCS to the students of Kid Street.
F.2 (Action) Resolution Recognizing November 14, 2024 as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day
To commemorate this day, our community, along with school districts across the nation, participate in the Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. Our community partner, Safe Routes to School – Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, provides resources for schools and community groups to support this effort. More information can be found on their websiteHERE.
F.3. (Action) Final Board Strategic Priorities – Engage, Empower, Embrace
In order to accomplish the vision and mission of our district, we need a strategic plan that guides the district and the decisions of the Superintendent, staff, and the Board of Education. At Santa Rosa City Schools, we are committed to embracing, empowering, and engaging every student to reach their fullest potential. By fostering a school environment centered on acceptance, belonging, and safety, we ensure that all students experience high levels of academic achievement in an equitable and inclusive setting. Our strategic priorities embrace the diversity and individuality of each student by integrating culturally relevant content, anti-racist practices, and meaningful relationships into our curriculum. Through these actions, we empower our students and staff to actively shape an innovative, supportive, and thriving school community. A community where every student is valued, seen, heard, understood, and equipped to be their best and achieve their goals.
At SRCS we’re cultivating a community. The final Board Strategic Priorities that align with the District’s values of Engage, Empower and Embrace are attached for the Board’s consideration.
Presentation Revisit/Review/Re-Do for Next FIVE Years: 1. R … 2. E … 3. S … 4. P … 5. E … 6. C … 7. T … appear to need to be flushed out. Similarly, thinning the 7 strategic Goals to the three values is suggested. For each of the Es, we Gave a Description/Provided Objectives/Suggested Actions for Next FIVE Years, which CENTER our: 1. S … 2. T … 3. U … 4. D … 5. E … 6. N … 7. T … 8. S …
FINAL Priorities This document centers on Engage, Empower, and Embrace.
This does not appear to be a final draft ready for approval.
SRTA supports the board setting a specific focus of the district that includes metrics, for both the long and short term. A timeline for future revisions would wisely take into account the three year LCAP cycle so that it can be built and annually revised in unison with the priorities set by the board. Originally the board spent several sessions over a summer for the adoption. This more recent work has had only one meeting.
SRTA is unaware of the board officially adopting “Engage, Empower, Embrace” as the “values” of SRCS.
The prior Strategic Plan was all things for all students. Therefore everything qualifies as a priority. Unfortunately, funding is not available to meet all the goals. As SRCS goes through the process of permanently diminishing expenses, guidance from the board establishing the essential core mission of the district would be helpful.
It is hoped that concise clarity in communication takes precedence over any acronyms.
F.4. (Discussion) Restorative Framework
SRCS cultivates an inclusive environment through restorative practices that emphasize growth and healing. We prioritize creating safe spaces where all voices matter, strengthening meaningful connections, empathy and accountability. Incidents of harm and conflict are shifted into opportunities for learning, enhancing academic achievement, decision-making, and community relationships. The need for a unified approach to restoration, and a system of metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of our services have been identified.
This framework under construction will reflect the unified program of restorative services, content, essential components and metrics implemented across our district by grade bands.
Presentation SEL Competencies are listed by grade band. Data on individual and group restorative events are included.
FrameworkCalls out the California Community Schools model. Three goals are (1) Build Sustainable Restorative Infrastructure, (2) Reduce Disciplinary Disparities Through Equitable Practices, and (3) Foster Positive School Climate and Culture. There appears to be a first draft of a table that includes space for Competencies, Content/Skills, Learning Objectives and Assessments for each grade band.
SRTA members attended Restorative training and were told that actions have consequences. It was explained that restorative practices were to come after consequences had begun. If requested by the student, consequences would be paused for restorative work. If the work was not successfully completed, it is expected that the consequences would resume. Is this still an expectation of SRCS?
This framework and the review of essential metrics seem like an integral part of both the site and district Safety Plan.
How are the CASEL Competencies incorporated into the student experience?
What resources can be expected to be available to support these efforts?
Is implementation of this framework intended for initial implementation for the elementary sites that have been identified as eligible for the Community Schools grant?
F.5. (Discussion/Action) Child Care Fees
The fiscal stabilization plan approved in June included necessary rate adjustments for the district provided child care program, an integral part of our continuum of after-school services supporting students and families. The committee was informed that rates had not been changed in years, and the program was running at a deficit. There was no specific information provided.
This update highlights key areas of the program:
Rate Increase for Sustainability: Starting November 1, 2024, new rates were established to support a self-sustaining program while maintaining high-quality care for students. Rates for under 12 hours per week were raised 15%, while those using over 12 hours per week were increased 8.6%.
Parent Communication and Feedback: Messaging about proposed rate changes was distributed to families in early August. After reviewing parent input and analyzing costs, the final rates reflect a balanced approach to sustain the program effectively.
Comprehensive Child Care Services: The program includes after-school care for TK-6 students, as well as winter, spring, and summer camps, with a dedicated staff team across six school sites.
Implementation was delayed from October 1st to November 1st to provide families more time to make adjustments.
Free Infant & Toddler program at Ridgway Child Care (3) and After school programs at CCLA (69), PTES (79), HVES (117), SRCArts (73), FACS (88). Total of 30 staff at six sites serving 429 students. This is an increase of 94 students with a decrease of 7.9 FTE positions.
Summative data is not included, to make the projected financial situation of the program transparent after these changes.
SRCS employees who utilize the pretax deduction to cover this expense are frustrated with the multiple week delay in receiving their funds, every month, far after the due date to pay their childcare fees.
F.6. and 7. Public Hearing and Acceptance of Santa Rosa Teachers Associations (SRTA) Contract Reopeners (Sunshine) for 25-27
The articles below were previously agreed upon in Article 18 of the 2024-2027 CBA approved in June 2024. The initial proposal reopeners includes the following articles to negotiate:
Article 16–Salary
Article 14.6.1(e) Definitions of RSP and SDC students as they pertain to the caseload caps.
Article 11: If proposed language around maternity and paternity leave does not pass, language around additional days and support for new parents.
SRTA looks forward to productive negotiations with the district.
F.8. (Action) Approval of Additional Meeting for the 2024 Board Meeting Calendar
During a regular election year, the governing board of each school district shall hold an annual organizational meeting within a 15-day period that commences with the second Friday in December following the election, therefore requiring the Board of Education to hold an additional meeting on December 18, 2024.
EdJoin shows a total of 87 current postings for 101 jobs in SRCS. There are twenty certificated openings (the same as the last meeting.) There is one certificated management openings posted. There are sixty-nine current classified postings for eighty job openings (sixty-seven less than last meeting). There are no classified management positions open.
SRTA welcomes Colette Scafani (SRHS), Erika De La Rosa-Smith (HCMS), Emma Burgess (SRHS), Patrick Madison (MCHS) and Mikayla Bell (LELA). One more certificated staff added additional FTE. Welcome back to Samuel Prohoroff (LBES) and Jennifer Van Loben Sels (SPSV).
SRTA bids farewell to Edward Benbow who has retired from HSMS after nine years of service.
Administrative movements include new hire Justin Tomola as AP at MCHS, TarynReynolds’ promotion to Program Manager, Roseanne Muldoon as Interim Principal of Biella and Simona Hoyos was promoted to District Accountant. Michael Jablonski was transferred to Principal at SLES.
Changes to classified staff include seven new hires, two probationary releases, three resignations and one retirement. They leave taking with them twenty-two years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.
There is one supervisory resignation.

The California Public Records Act (CPRA) mandates that public records be open for inspection and that public agencies provide copies of records upon request, with a few exceptions. The volume and complexity of records requests for our district has grown significantly, requiring a solution that can improve both the efficiency and transparency of our response process. Implementing NextRequest, a cloud-based public records request management platform, will provide our district with the tools to streamline, track, and respond to CPRA requests more effectively.
SRTA wonders how many CPRA requests the district gets and the expected cost of meeting those requests.

Hasta que el distrito tome una decisión, las ganancias de la venta de la propiedad de Fir Ridge seguirán estancadas y perdiendo valor a medida que el costo de la vivienda continúa aumentando. Iniciar un programa podría ayudar a SRCS a atraer y retener al personal de CSEA. El impacto potencial de los fondos disminuye a medida que pasa el tiempo.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing October as Coaches Appreciation Month
This resolution highlights the invaluable role coaches play in the development of our students. Coaches go beyond athletics, often volunteering their time and energy to foster leadership, resilience, and character in students.
F.2. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing the Week of the School Administrator October 14 through 18, 2024
Administrators are among the hardest working, yet often least recognized individuals in education. Administrators set the academic tone for their schools, departments, and divisions, and it is their vision, dedication, and determination that provide the mobilizing force for students having equitable access to educational programs and achieving success. Santa Rosa City Schools and the Board of Education seeks to honor these unsung heroes for their tireless efforts in pursuit of excellence in education for ALL students.
SRCS is recognizing 51 district and 45 site administrators.
SRTA encourages members to express appreciation to their worthy administrators.
F.3. (Action) Approval of Resolution Proclaiming October as LGBTQIA+ History Month
The District supports policies, practices, and curricula that honor and respect LGBTQIA+ students, staff, and their families, and ensures that our schools are safe and affirming spaces for all members of the community.
SRTA recognizes the volunteer staff facilitators that provide safe spaces for affinity groups.
F.4. (Action) Approval of Resolution Proclaiming October as Filipino American History Month
This resolution is in recognition of the contribution, culture and heritage that Filipino Americans brought to the United States from the Philippines. California is home to over half of the Filipino population in the USA .
In an effort to more effectively include these students in our district it is valuable to know more information. According to Data Quest, SRCS has 145 Filipino students. The most recent 2023 Dashboard SRCS Filipino students are performing at or above all students.
F.5. (Action) Resolution in Support of Proposition 2: State Bond for School Construction
SRCS has identified approximately $50 million in potential state fund matches through reimbursement from state school bonds. SRCS has current projects in the queue for these funds, if approved by voters in November.
F.6. & 7.Public Hearing and Action: SRCS District “Sunshine” Proposals for Originating Contract Negotiations with the Local Teamsters Union 665
The Board will conduct a legally-required Public Hearing on the proposed Santa Rosa City Schools District “Sunshine” proposal for the Originating Contract Negotiations with the Local Teamsters Union 665.
SRTA celebrates the new representation of our Head Custodians. We support the creation of a fair contract to protect their rights and ability to negotiate their compensation and working conditions.
F.8. (Action) Approval of a Variable Term Waiver for Administrative Services Credential for Taryn Reynolds
This Variable Term Waiver will allow the district to fill a Program Manager position in Special Services for the 2024-2025 school year. Taryn Reynolds has passed the written portion of the administrative Credential exam, and was scheduled to take the performance portion on Thursday, September 26.
F.9. (Action) First Read and Possible Waive of Second Read of BP 6115 and Sharing of AR 6115
The Board will review and potentially approve the revised Board Policy (BP) 6115. The Superintendent is sharing the Administrative Regulation (AR) 6115. If no changes are required, the Board may take action to approve the BP.
BP 6115 (Redline) (Clean) The board can choose which holidays to observe when with school closure, except for Veterans Day which must be observed on November 11. This also allows the board to authorize the display of symbolic flags or banners in support of specific awareness months.
AR 6115 (Redline) (Clean) This lists all observed holidays. It explicitly states that all sites will conduct patriotic exercises daily which may include the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. It also states that the Progress Pride Flag shall be displayed at all district schools and the district office as a permanent symbol of inclusivity and the district’s unwavering commitment to creating safe spaces for all students, staff, and community members.
SRTA members support the inclusivity of the Progress Pride Flag. Will these flags require additional flag poles? Will the district office be providing these flags to the sites?
F.10. (Action) First Read and Possible Waive of Second Read of Board Bylaw 9322
BB 9322 (Redline) (Clean) This clarifies the process for setting board agendas, and disseminating information for board meetings as well as clarifying when public comments can be skipped.
If there is an intention to change any past practices, it would be appreciated if that were clearly stated during this item.
F.11. (Action) Second Read of Board Bylaw 9150
BB 9150 (Redline) (Clean) Allows two students board members to rotate between all high school sites. (Does not set the rotation schedule.) Allows for training and reimbursement of mileage. There is no compensation included for these positions.
EdJoin shows a total of 97 current postings for 180 jobs in SRCS. There are fifty-three certificated openings (thirty-two more than the last meeting.) There are two certificated management openings posted. There are seventy-four current classified postings for one hundred twenty-five job openings. Eighty-seven of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals. There are no classified management positions open.
SRTA welcomes Shasheen Hoaglen (PHS) and Thao Dang (EAHS). Welcome back to Kathryn Starr (ALES). Six more certificated staff are adding additional FTE.
SRTA bids farewell to Ann Hopkin (SPSV) who has retired after seventeen years.
Administrative movements include: hiring Carla Hamilton-Yates as EAHS VP, and the resignation of District Accountant Helen Miller.
Changes to classified staff include five new hires.
Of note, fifty-nine coaches were hired.
There are no changes to supervisory positions.

G.7. Approval to Award the Contract for Emergency Fencing at SRMS
The Lowest Responsive Bidder was deemed to be Golden Bay Fence Plus Iron Works Inc. with a bid amount of $255,769.10. With the approval of this project, Golden Bay Fence Plus Iron Works Inc. will be approved to begin installation of no-climb fencing that is less than 8 feet high.
The fencing will provide additional security at the core of the campus, in order to improve the safety and security of students and staff by limiting access to vagrants that have been entering the site after school hours.
The governing board of each school district and county office of education shall establish and adopt a written parent and family engagement policy and program for each school in the district that receives funds under Title I, Part A of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA. Each school served under this part shall jointly develop with, and distribute to, parents and family members of participating children a written parent and family engagement policy, agreed upon by such parents, and updated periodically to meet the changing needs of parents and the school.”
G.10. Approval of Perkins V – Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment Members for Career Technical Education
he California Department of Education plan for Carl D. Perkins Career Technical Education legislation requires Lead Education Agencies (LEA) that receive federal Perkins grant funding to hold an annual Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA). The CLNA process involves reviewing district CTE student data and approving the goals required for the Perkins grant application due annually on May 1st. Santa Rosa City Schools has an established District Career Technical Education Advisory Committee that serves to advise, assist, support, and strengthen the CTE programs offered throughout the district. The stakeholders on this committee were chosen intentionally to fill the required roles of the CLNA and have participated in the CLNA process in prior years.
In addition to the annual CLNA process, one of the requirements for Perkins grant funding is that the LEA’s Board of Education approve a roster of CLNA members.
G.11. Approval of Perma-Bound Textbooks for International Baccalaureate Class at MHS
The Board will consider the approval of Le Monde En Fracais (Secondary), a print and digital curriculum solution that fully integrates and scaffolds a French-language program that will build intercultural communicative proficiency through a cohesive cultural approach to each unit of study. This curriculum will be used for the French IB courses at Montgomery High School. This textbook was missed when the other French textbooks were adopted in June 2024.
G.12. Adjustments to the already approved 2023-24 Unaudited Actuals Fiscal Report
After September 11th, the district identified fiscal adjustments to be made and this updated report reflects those adjustments. Board approval of this updated 2023-24 Unaudited Actuals fiscal report, will allow the Sonoma COE to send to the CDE the revised report and fulfill the requirements of the CDE.
The Sonoma COE and our County Office Fiscal Advisor concurred with the decision to resubmit the 2023/24 Unaudited Actuals report with these updates and are awaiting this Board approved report that they will send to the CDE prior to their October 15th timeline.
SRCS administration and the North Bay Building and Construction Trades council believe an extension of the current agreement with an exception for projects under the CUPCCAA informal bidding limit (currently $200,000) when needed, will benefit both organizations. All other terms of the agreement would remain unchanged.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Proclaiming October 14, 2024 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day
Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes that Native people are the first inhabitants of the Americas, including the lands that later became the United States of America. This resolution is in honor and supports all Indigenous People.
SRCS Summative Springboard Collaborative program data for 327 students of whom 274 were active. 41% of students were white and 30% were Hispanic/Latino. DIBELS was used to show growth. Fourth grade showed the smallest growth, and 2nd grade had the largest growth. One hundred and ninety-two students received $60 in Tango awards for attending all family workshops and reaching stretch goals. Next steps are blank on the slidedeck. Programs were run at ALES and at BHES.
Expanded Learning Programs Mike Hauser Academy (106 ninth graders), Newcomer at EAHS (54 students), High School Credit Recovery (54% of 1159 attempted in person courses and 30% of 886 Cyber high courses were completed for credit with 43 seniors completing graduation requirements), Migrant Education Elementary @ ALES (141 students), Migrant Education Secondary @SRJC (58 SRCS students), Extended School Year (ESY) HVES, SLES, and RHS (310 students), Arts/Mariachi Camp with LBC @ HCMS (159 students), OWLS Camp (outdoor ed for 167 students), EXCEL with SSU @ SRCArts (172 4-8th graders), Recreation Sensation with Park and Rec (211 students), Childcare Camps at 4 sites (231 students), MathLab (141 students) & Science (68 students) Camps @ PHS, FACS Bridge (125 students), CCLA (120 students), and Boys and Girls Club (584 students).
Technical Analysis There was no difference in participation based on gender. Fewer SED and more Ever EL students (EL, Monitored and Redesignated) participated than were statistically expected based on the population. The gains in Springboard DIBELS scores are statistically significant.
Student & Family Voice 115 of 5782 participants gave feedback which was 77-87% positive.
SRTA Member feedback, which was shared with the district administrators, included the need for improvements to internal communications. Job availability should be shared out in various ways and postings must be specific as to the positions available, including programs, hours and location.
Are students gaining foundational knowledge in credit recovery courses? What does the data look like for student performance in next courses after successfully completing credit recovery?
F.3 -6. Public Hearing and Resolution Regarding Sufficiency of Textbooks or Instructional Materials for 2024-25, Grades K-6 and Grades 7-12
This public hearing and certification of textbooks or instructional materials occur within the first eight weeks of each school year.
Williams Preliminary Letter Eight campuses were visited, and the only issue was a hand dryer at SRHS needing repair.
SRTA members are concerned with students who do not have chromebooks. There is so much that is being accessed on line to enrich the student experience. Technically we are told this isn’t a Williams Act Violation, but it clearly is wrong. Teachers can not be expected to provide cutting edge digital experiences for some students while creating equivalent non-digital experiences for other students. This doubles the workload.
SRCS promises that a Technology Master Plan is in the works. It can’t be created fast enough!
F.7. (Action) First Read and Possible Waiving of Second Read of Board Bylaw 9150
As of July 1 this proposal would add a second Student Board member, and expands ability to be able to make motions and to serve on subcommittees.
The two student representatives to the Board shall be selected by rotation based on high school locations relative to Highway 101.
Student Board Member 1:
The first student representative to the Board shall be selected by rotation among high schools located west of Highway 101.
Student Board Member 2:
The second student representative to the Board shall be selected by rotation among high schools located east of Highway 101.
According to the California Dashboard for the most recent year available (2023) Student board member #1 would represent 1481 socioeconomically disadvantaged students which is 41% of all SRCS socioeconomically disadvantaged high school students.
Student board member #2 would represent 2125 socioeconomically disadvantaged students which is 59% of all SRCS socioeconomically disadvantaged high school students.
F.8. (Action) First Read and Possible Waiving of Second Read of Board Bylaw 9250
Establishes the same monthly compensation for student board members as for other board members, $536 per month. The proposed changes also provide elective course credit based on the number of equivalent daily instructional minutes for the services provided by the pupil member.
How does this compensation compare to students performing other jobs for the district? Student workers in the district are paid $16 per hour according to the Salary Schedule. This is a dramatically different rate.
SRCS is currently tightening the budget in ways previously unimagined. The fact that this compensation is even being considered does not seem to align with the goals of our ‘students first’ district’s focus.
EdJoin shows a total of 103 current postings for 168 jobs in SRCS. There are twenty-one certificated openings (four less than the last meeting.) There is one certificated management opening posted. There are eighty-three current classified postings for one hundred forty-five job openings. Eighty-two of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals. There is one classified management position open.
SRTA welcomes Moriah Grey (SRCSArts). Five more certificated staff are adding additional classes.
SRTA bids farewell to CharlotteNehm (EAHS) and Noemi Acosta Flores (CCLA) who have all resigned taking a combined three years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students.
Administrative movements include: Catherine Wisor to SPSV Coordinator.
Changes to classified staff include four new hires and one retirement with eighteen years of service.
Of note, one of the above resignations of new employees transpired after only three days of service.
There are no changes to supervisory positions.

E. Comentario público sobre temas fuera de la agenda
Se invita a los miembros de SRTA a completar “tarjetas azules”. Los comentarios en línea han sido suspendidos. Esté preparado para respetar el límite de tiempo de tres minutos o la imposición de un posible límite de dos o incluso un minuto. En este momento sólo se abordan los puntos que NO están en la agenda.
Se solicitan comentarios en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva para aportar la perspectiva de un miembro y compartir experiencias reales sobre el impacto de las políticas y prácticas del distrito.
Comprométase a ver o asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directiva este año y a hablar sobre los temas de la agenda que le impacten a usted o a sus estudiantes. Los oradores se limitan a aquellos en persona. Los comentarios tienen más impacto cuando están bien expresados, compuestos y razonables.
F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN
F.1. (Acción) Aprobación de Resolución que Proclama el 14 de octubre de 2024 como Día de los Pueblos Indígenas
El Día de los Pueblos Indígenas reconoce que los pueblos nativos son los primeros habitantes de América, incluidas las tierras que luego se convirtieron en los Estados Unidos de América. Esta resolución es un honor y apoya a todos los Pueblos Indígenas.
F.2. (Discusión) Actualización de la Escuela de Verano 2024
SRCS Datos sumativos del programa Springboard Collaborative para 327 estudiantes de los cuales 274 estaban activos. El 41% de los estudiantes eran blancos y el 30% eran hispanos/latinos. Se utilizó DIBELS para mostrar el crecimiento. El cuarto grado mostró el menor crecimiento y el segundo grado tuvo el mayor crecimiento. Ciento noventa y dos estudiantes recibieron $60 en premios de Tango por asistir a todos los talleres familiares y alcanzar metas exigentes. Los próximos pasos están en blanco en la plataforma de diapositivas. Los programas se ejecutaron en ALES y en BHES.
Programas de aprendizaje ampliados Academia Mike Hauser (106 estudiantes de noveno grado), recién llegados a EAHS (54 estudiantes), recuperación de créditos de escuela secundaria (54% de 1159 cursos presenciales intentados y 30% de 886 cursos cibernéticos de secundaria se completaron para obtener créditos y 43 estudiantes de último año completaron los requisitos de graduación), Primaria de Educación para Migrantes en ALES (141 estudiantes), Secundaria de Educación para Migrantes en SRJC (58 estudiantes de SRCS), Año Escolar Extendido (ESY) HVES, SLES y RHS (310 estudiantes), Campamento de Artes/Mariachi con LBC en HCMS (159 estudiantes) , Campamento OWLS (educación al aire libre para 167 estudiantes), EXCEL con SSU @ SRCArts (172 estudiantes de 4.° a 8.° grado), Recreation Sensation con Park and Rec (211 estudiantes), Campamentos de cuidado infantil en 4 sitios (231 estudiantes), MathLab (141 estudiantes) y campamentos de ciencias (68 estudiantes) en PHS, FACS Bridge (125 estudiantes), CCLA (120 estudiantes) y Boys and Girls Club (584 estudiantes).
Análisis técnico No hubo diferencias en la participación según el género. Participaron menos estudiantes SED y más estudiantes Ever EL (EL, monitoreados y redesignados) de lo que se esperaba estadísticamente según la población. Las ganancias en las puntuaciones de Springboard DIBELS son estadísticamente significativas.
Los comentarios de los miembros de la SRTA, que se compartieron con los administradores del distrito, incluyeron la necesidad de mejorar las comunicaciones internas. La disponibilidad de empleo debe compartirse de varias maneras y las publicaciones deben ser específicas en cuanto a los puestos disponibles, incluidos los programas, los horarios y la ubicación.
¿Los estudiantes están adquiriendo conocimientos básicos en los cursos de recuperación de créditos? ¿Cómo se ven los datos sobre el desempeño de los estudiantes en los próximos cursos después de completar con éxito la recuperación de créditos?
F.3-6. Audiencia pública y resolución sobre la suficiencia de libros de texto o materiales educativos para 2024-25, grados K-6 y grados 7-12
Esta audiencia pública y certificación de libros de texto o materiales educativos ocurre dentro de las primeras ocho semanas de cada año escolar.
Carta preliminar de Williams Se visitaron ocho campus y el único problema fue que un secador de manos en SRHS necesitaba reparación.
Los miembros de SRTA están preocupados por los estudiantes que no tienen Chromebooks. Hay muchas cosas a las que se puede acceder en línea para enriquecer la experiencia de los estudiantes. Técnicamente se nos dice que esto no es una infracción de la Ley Williams, pero claramente está mal. No se puede esperar que los profesores brinden experiencias digitales de vanguardia para algunos estudiantes y al mismo tiempo creen experiencias no digitales equivalentes para otros estudiantes. Esto duplica la carga de trabajo.
SRCS promete que se está preparando un Plan Maestro de Tecnología. ¡No se puede crear lo suficientemente rápido!
F.7. (Acción) Primera lectura y posible renuncia a la segunda lectura del Estatuto de la Mesa Directiva 9150
A partir del 1 de julio, esta propuesta agregaría un segundo miembro de la Mesa Directiva Estudiantil y ampliaría la capacidad para poder presentar mociones y formar parte de subcomités.
Los dos estudiantes representantes ante la Mesa Directiva serán seleccionados por rotación según la ubicación de las escuelas secundarias en relación con la autopista 101.
Miembro de la Mesa Directiva Estudiantil 1:
El primer representante estudiantil ante la Mesa Directiva será seleccionado por rotación entre las escuelas secundarias ubicadas al oeste de la autopista 101.
Miembro de la Mesa Directiva Estudiantil 2:
El segundo representante estudiantil ante la Mesa Directiva será seleccionado por rotación entre las escuelas secundarias ubicadas al este de la autopista 101.
Según el Panel de control de California para el año más reciente disponible (2023), el miembro n.º 1 de la Mesa Directiva estudiantil representaría 1481 estudiantes en desventaja socioeconómica, lo que representa el 41 % de todos los estudiantes de secundaria en desventaja socioeconómica de SRCS.
El miembro número 2 de la Mesa Directiva estudiantil representaría a 2125 estudiantes en desventaja socioeconómica, lo que representa el 59 % de todos los estudiantes de secundaria en desventaja socioeconómica de SRCS.
F.8. (Acción) Primera lectura y posible renuncia a la segunda lectura del Estatuto de la Mesa Directiva 9250
Establece la misma remuneración mensual para los miembros de la Mesa Directiva estudiantil que para los demás miembros de la Mesa Directiva, $536 por mes. Los cambios propuestos también proporcionan créditos para cursos optativos basados en la cantidad de minutos de instrucción diarios equivalentes para los servicios proporcionados por el alumno miembro.
¿Cómo se compara esta compensación con la de los estudiantes que realizan otros trabajos para el distrito? Los estudiantes trabajadores en el distrito reciben $16 por hora según el Calendario salarial. Esta es una tasa dramáticamente diferente.
SRCS actualmente está ajustando el presupuesto en formas antes inimaginables. El hecho de que esta compensación esté siquiera siendo considerada no parece alinearse con los objetivos del enfoque de nuestro distrito de “los estudiantes primero”.
EdJoin muestra un total de 103 publicaciones actuales para 168 puestos de trabajo en SRCS. Hay veintiuna vacantes certificadas (cuatro menos que en la última reunión). Hay una vacante de gestión certificada publicada. Hay ochenta y tres anuncios clasificados actuales para ciento cuarenta y cinco puestos vacantes. Ochenta y dos de estas vacantes son para asistentes y paraprofesionales. Hay un puesto directivo clasificado disponible.
SRTA le da la bienvenida a Moriah Gray (SRCSArts). Cinco miembros del personal certificado más están agregando clases adicionales.
SRTA se despide de Charlotte Nehm (EAHS) y Noemí Acosta Flores (CCLA), quienes renunciaron llevándose consigo tres años combinados de conocimiento y servicio. Gracias por todo lo que hizo por nuestros estudiantes.
Los movimientos administrativos incluyen: Catherine Wisor a Coordinadora de SPSV.
Los cambios en el personal clasificado incluyen cuatro nuevas contrataciones y un retiro con dieciocho años de servicio.
Es de destacar que una de las renuncias de nuevos empleados mencionadas anteriormente se produjo después de solo tres días de servicio.
No hay cambios en los puestos de supervisión.

Hasta que el distrito tome una decisión, las ganancias de la venta de la propiedad de Fir Ridge seguirán estancadas y perdiendo valor a medida que el costo de la vivienda continúa aumentando. Iniciar un programa podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener al personal de la CSEA. El impacto potencial de los fondos disminuye a medida que pasa el tiempo.

B.1. Public Employee Discipline/Dismissal/Release
B. 2. Conference With Labor Negotiator (Name of designated rep attending: Dr. Vicki Zands (SRCS) ; name of organization: CSEA Santa Rosa 75)
SRTA Members stand in solid support of the need to improve the compensation for our CSEA staff. The incredible efforts of classified staff provide the front line of service to our students and families. SRCS relies on this workforce to keep our doors open, literally. They feed our students, answer our phones, monitor students and keep our campuses clean.
SRTA Members are greatly upset with the $6.5 million dollar contract with Inspire for Assistants for Special Ed. It is concerning to be paying $52 an hour for this subcontractor to pay workers $22-26 per hour which is 36% more than SRCS postings on Edjoin. It is time to fix this egregious error in judgment!
Resolving this wage issue so SRCS can hire their own assistants must be a top priority. All of this has a direct impact on our most disadvantaged students, who desperately are in need of reliable, trustworthy aids.
It is time to make a decision on the proceeds from the sale of the Fir Ridge property. Those funds are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a home purchase assistance program started could help SRCS attract and retain CSEA staff and ease the need for additional compensation.
B. 3. Conference With Legal Counsel – Existing Litigation (Case name: OAH 2024081056)

E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items
SRTA Members are invited to complete ‘blue cards.’ Online comments have been suspended. Please be prepared to observe the three minute time limit or the imposition of a possible two or even one minute limit. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time.
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.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to agenda items that impact you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution to Recognize September 15 to October 15 as Latinx Heritage Month
Santa Rosa City Schools has 14,302 students and 59.9% of our students are Latinx.
Compared to the Estimated Actuals presented during the Budget Adoption process, the Unaudited Actuals include:
About 0.3% less than anticipated income (1.2% in unrestricted)
Expenditures were about 1% less than estimated
Unaudited expenses surpassed income by about $16 million.
Ending balances in Special Revenue Funds are $4.4 million Charter School, $3.6 million Child Development, $6.4 million Cafeteria Fund, $122 million in Building Fund, $9 million in Capital Facilities Fund, $4.7 in Capital Outlay, and $1.2 in Dental Self-Insurance.
Fiscal Stabilization Committee and School Consolidation Committees are working on recommendations that will be brought to the board.
F.3. (Action) Approval of District and School Site Safety Plans
The new Article 8 Safety 2024-2027 CBA SRCS-SRTA.pdf in the contract between SRCS and SRTA calls for a District Safety Committee that will provide guidance to school sites on the development and update of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan (CCSP); Review and recommend updates to the District’s Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP);
Review and recommend updates to the District’s Emergency Operation Plan (EOP); Review and recommend updates to the District’s Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP); Uphold the expectations and compliance within each specific plan and provide guidance on implementation.
The committee will meet at least six times during the year starting within the first month of school, and will receive quarterly reports on any data collection and actions taken. They will
gather and analyze data related to student misconduct, positive behavior interventions, and discipline issues; assist schools and worksites in developing site safety plans and school site discipline policies; and monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of school and worksite safety plans and school discipline policies.
Also each site will have a School Safety Planning Committee that will monitor and analyze the effectiveness of the site safety plan and the school discipline and intervention plans and policies; receive input from and inform the entire staff regarding the site safety, discipline, and intervention plans and policies; and develop a plan that will establish a safe classroom and school-wide environment for all students and employees at the school or worksite.
The article calls for all staff to be trained on the Safety Plan.
SRTA members celebrate the improvements to Article 8 and the impact they will have to increase the safety of students and staff. This will require persistence and diligence.
EdJoin shows a total of 99 current postings for 158 jobs in SRCS. There are twenty-five certificated openings (the same as the last meeting.) There are no certificated management openings posted. There are seventy-seven current classified postings for one hundred thirty-three job openings. Eighty-two of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals. There are no classified management positions.
SRTA welcomes Neil Swan (EAHS), Natalie Jordan(HCMS), Hilary Smallwood (SPSV), Erik Klouse (PHS), and Kaitlyn Doktorczyk (SPSV), as well as welcoming back one rehire. Nineteen more certificated staff are adding additional classes.
SRTA bids farewell to Daniel Moeller (MHS), Steven Irving (RHS), and Drew Zapadinsky (MCHS) who have all resigned taking a combined eleven years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students.
Administrative movements include: Johanna Koehle to Program Manager, MarthaMartinez to Steele Lane Principal and the resignation of SonyaRandrup as Coordinator of Special Services.
Changes to classified staff include six new hires and eight resignations with eighteen years of service.
Of note, five of the above eleven resignations of new employees transpired after only two to nine days of service.
There are no changes to supervisory positions.
G.4. Approval of Donations and Gifts
Highlights from recent donations: $1,300 in donations from Made in Santa Rosa Foundation to LELA for playground sensory materials. Thank you for your support of our staff and students.

SRTA members wonder how decisions for software are made. They are also curious about the implementation plan, specifically how staff will be informed of the availability of purchased software and how to access it.
SRTA members notice the large expenses related to replacing classroom furniture. There is a concern about the lifespan of new furniture and the plan to provide replacement furniture when something is damaged. This is the current problem. Equipping all classrooms with new furniture is different from addressing this long standing issue.
G.7. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Executive Director of Wellness and Engagement
This is a new job description for an existing administrative position. There is no posting of a current job description on the SRCS website. The Sept 2022 Org Chart listed this position as changing from Director to Executive Director of Student and Family Engagement. Per the new org chart this is now a Cabinet level position.
G.8. Approval of Family Purpose Corporation Contract
Provide Ms. Key assemblies to all CCLA students in 5 groups of 100 or less over 2 consecutive days this fall.

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 diminishes as time passes.

B.1. Disciplina/Despido/Liberación de Empleados Públicos
B. 2. Conferencia con el negociador laboral (Nombre del representante designado que asiste: Dra. Vicki Zands (SRCS); nombre de la organización: CSEA Santa Rosa 75)
Los miembros de SRTA apoyan firmemente la necesidad de mejorar la compensación de nuestro personal de CSEA. Los increíbles esfuerzos del personal clasificado brindan la primera línea de servicio a nuestros estudiantes y familias. SRCS depende de esta fuerza laboral para mantener nuestras puertas abiertas, literalmente. Alimentan a nuestros estudiantes, contestan nuestros teléfonos, monitorean a los estudiantes y mantienen limpios nuestros campus.
Los miembros de SRTA están muy molestos con el contrato de $6.5 millones de dólares con Inspire para asistentes de educación especial. Es preocupante que este subcontratista pague $52 por hora para pagar a los trabajadores entre $22 y $26 por hora, lo cual es un 36% más que las publicaciones de SRCS en Edjoin. ¡Es hora de corregir este atroz error de juicio!
Resolver este problema salarial para que SRCS pueda contratar a sus propios asistentes debe ser una prioridad absoluta. Todo esto tiene un impacto directo en nuestros estudiantes más desfavorecidos, que necesitan desesperadamente ayuda confiable y digna de confianza.
Es hora de tomar una decisión sobre los ingresos de la venta de la propiedad de Fir Ridge. Esos fondos simplemente están sentados y perdiendo valor a medida que el costo de la vivienda continúa aumentando. Iniciar un programa de asistencia para la compra de viviendas podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener al personal de la CSEA y aliviar la necesidad de una compensación adicional.
B. 3. Conferencia con el Asesor Legal – Litigios Existentes (Nombre del caso: OAH 2024081056)

Los oradores se limitan a aquellos en persona. Los comentarios tienen más impacto cuando están bien expresados, compuestos y razonables.
F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN
F.1. (Acción) Aprobación de Resolución para Reconocer del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre como Mes de la Herencia Latinx
Las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa tienen 14,302 estudiantes y el 59.9% de nuestros estudiantes son latinos.
En comparación con los datos reales estimados presentados durante el proceso de adopción del presupuesto, los datos reales no auditados incluyen:
Aproximadamente un 0.3% menos de ingresos previstos (1.2% en régimen no restringido)
Los gastos fueron aproximadamente un 1% menos de lo estimado.
Los gastos no auditados superaron los ingresos en aproximadamente 16 millones de dólares.
Los saldos finales en los Fondos de Ingresos Especiales son $4.4 millones en Escuelas Chárter, $3.6 millones en Desarrollo Infantil, $6.4 millones en Fondo de Cafetería, $122 millones en Fondo de Construcción, $9 millones en Fondo de Instalaciones Capitales, $4.7 en Desembolso de Capital y $1.2 en Autoseguro Dental.
El Comité de Estabilización Fiscal y los Comités de Consolidación Escolar están trabajando en recomendaciones que se presentarán a la junta.
F.3. (Acción) Aprobación de los planes de seguridad del distrito y del sitio escolar
el nuevo Artículo 8 Seguridad 2024-2027 CBA SRCS-SRTA.pdf en el contrato entre SRCS y SRTA se solicita un Comité de Seguridad del Distrito que brindará orientación a las escuelas sobre el desarrollo y actualización del Plan Integral de Seguridad Escolar (CCSP); revisar y recomendar actualizaciones del Programa de Prevención de Lesiones y Enfermedades (IIPP) del Distrito;
Revisar y recomendar actualizaciones al Plan de Operación de Emergencia (EOP) del Distrito; Revisar y recomendar actualizaciones del Plan de Prevención de la Violencia en el Lugar de Trabajo (WVPP) del Distrito; Mantener las expectativas y el cumplimiento dentro de cada plan específico y brindar orientación sobre su implementación.
El comité se reunirá al menos seis veces durante el año a partir del primer mes de clases y recibirá informes trimestrales sobre la recopilación de datos y las acciones tomadas. Ellos recopilarán y analizarán datos relacionados con la mala conducta de los estudiantes, intervenciones de conducta positiva y cuestiones disciplinarias; ayudarán a las escuelas y lugares de trabajo a desarrollar planes de seguridad y políticas de disciplina en el sitio escolar; y monitorear y evaluarán la efectividad de los planes de seguridad escolares y del lugar de trabajo y las políticas de disciplina escolar.
Además, cada sitio tendrá un Comité de Planificación de Seguridad Escolar que monitoreará y analizará la efectividad del plan de seguridad del sitio y los planes y políticas de intervención y disciplina escolar; recibir comentarios e informar a todo el personal sobre los planes y políticas de seguridad, disciplina e intervención del sitio; y desarrollar un plan que establecerá un ambiente seguro en el aula y en toda la escuela para todos los estudiantes y empleados en la escuela o lugar de trabajo.
El artículo llama a capacitar a todo el personal sobre el Plan de Seguridad.
Anexo C Capacitación Incluye recursos y un calendario de muestra de planificación de emergencias, así como etapas de capacitación que incluyen escenarios.
Anexo D Información del sitio Contiene consideraciones y recursos de planificación del sitio, incluida una encuesta e inventario de habilidades del personal.
Los miembros de SRTA celebran las mejoras al Artículo 8 y el impacto que tendrán para aumentar la seguridad de los estudiantes y el personal. Esto requerirá perseverancia y diligencia.
EdJoin muestra un total de 99 publicaciones actuales para 158 puestos de trabajo en SRCS. Hay veinticinco vacantes certificadas (las mismas que en la última reunión). No hay vacantes de gestión certificadas publicadas. Hay setenta y siete anuncios clasificados actuales para ciento treinta y tres puestos vacantes. Ochenta y dos de estas vacantes son para asistentes y paraprofesionales. No existen puestos directivos clasificados.
SRTA le da la bienvenida a Neil Swan (EAHS), Natalie Jordan (HCMS), Hilary Smallwood (SPSV), Erik Klouse (PHS) y Kaitlyn Doktorczyk (SPSV), además de darle la bienvenida a una nueva contratación. Diecinueve miembros del personal certificado más están agregando clases adicionales.
SRTA se despide de Daniel Moeller (MHS), Steven Irving (RHS) y Drew Zapadinsky (MCHS), quienes renunciaron llevándose consigo once años combinados de conocimiento y servicio. Gracias por todo lo que hizo por nuestros estudiantes.
Los movimientos administrativos incluyen: Johanna Koehle a Gerente de Programa, Martha Martínez a Directora de Steele Lane y la renuncia de Sonya Randrup como Coordinadora de Servicios Especiales.
Los cambios en el personal clasificado incluye seis nuevas contrataciones y ocho renuncias con dieciocho años de servicio.
Es de tomar nota que cinco de las once renuncias de nuevos empleados mencionadas anteriormente se produjeron después de sólo dos a nueve días de servicio.
No hay cambios en los puestos de supervisión.
G.4. Aprobación de donaciones y obsequios

Reemplazo de drenaje pluvial de ingeniería y estudios
Los miembros de SRTA notan los grandes gastos relacionados con el reemplazo del mobiliario de las aulas. Existe preocupación por la vida útil de los muebles nuevos y el plan para proporcionar muebles de reemplazo cuando algo se daña. Este es el problema actual. Equipar todas las aulas con muebles nuevos es diferente a abordar este problema de larga data.
G.7. Aprobación de la descripción de funciones propuesta para Director Ejecutivo de Bienestar y Compromiso
Esta es una nueva descripción de trabajo para un puesto administrativo existente. No hay ninguna publicación de una descripción de trabajo actual en el sitio web de SRCS. El organigrama de septiembre de 2022 enumeró este puesto como un cambio de Director a Director Ejecutivo de Participación Estudiantil y Familiar. Según el nuevo organigrama, este es ahora un puesto a nivel de gabinete.
G.8. Aprobación de Contrato de Sociedad de Propósito Familiar
Proporcionar asambleas de la Sra. Key a todos los estudiantes de CCLA en 5 grupos de 100 o menos durante 2 días consecutivos este otoño. El propósito es fomentar una cultura de resolución de conflictos para transformar posibles peleas en conversaciones constructivas utilizando el sistema S.T.O.P. método. (Reduzca la velocidad, piense, abra su mente y procese para continuar) Se utilizarán veinticinco sudaderas con capucha y se incluirá un taller para padres.

La Proposición 4 (Gann, 1979) estableció límites de asignación anual para entidades gubernamentales estatales y locales basados en las asignaciones anuales del año fiscal anterior. Antes del 15 de septiembre de cada año, las juntas gobernantes de distrito adoptarán una resolución que identifique sus límites de asignaciones estimados para el año en curso y sus límites de asignaciones reales para el año anterior.

Plan para el programa de apoyo a la vivienda del personal con los ingresos de Fir Ridge
Hasta que el distrito tome una decisión, las ganancias de la venta de la propiedad de Fir Ridge seguirán estancadas y perdiendo valor a medida que el costo de la vivienda continúa aumentando. Iniciar un programa podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener al personal de la CSEA. El impacto potencial de los fondos disminuye a medida que pasa el tiempo.

A.1. Public Comment On Closed Session Agenda Items To comment, email Melanie Martin at mmartinsrcs.k12.ca.us.
B.1. Public Employee Appointment/Employment (Position to be filled: Principal)
B. 2. Conference With Labor Negotiator (Name of designated rep attending: Dr. Vicki Zands (SRCS) ; name of organization: CSEA Santa Rosa 75)
SRTA Members stand in solid support of the need to improve the compensation for our CSEA staff. The incredible efforts of classified staff provide the front line of service to our students and families. SRCS relies on this workforce to keep our doors open, literally. They feed our students, answer our phones, monitor students and dispose of our garbage.
SRTA Members are greatly upset with the $6.5 million dollar contract with Inspire for Assistants for Special Ed. This is concerning to be paying $52 an hour for this subcontractor to pay workers $22-26 per hour which is 36% more than SRCS postings on Edjoin. It is time to fix this egregious error in judgment!
Resolving this wage issue so SRCS can hire their own assistants must be a top priority. Sub-contracted employees are not committed to SRCS. This leads to attendance issues, inconsistency and constant turnover of the staff on campus. These temporary staff never truly integrate on any campus and fail to become part of the “team.”
It is time to make a decision on the proceeds from the sale of the Fir Ridge property. Those funds are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a home purchase assistance program started could help SRCS attract and retain CSEA staff and ease the need for additional compensation.
B. 3. Conference With Legal Counsel – Existing Litigation (5 Cases: OAH Case No. 2024070139, OAH Case No. 2024070448, 24CV-00520, 23CV-00397, and SCV-272273 )

SRTA Members are invited to complete ‘blue cards.’ Online comments have been suspended. Please be prepared to observe the three minute time limit or the imposition of a possible two or even one minute limit. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time.
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.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to agenda items that impact you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. Action) Approval of Resolution for September Suicide Prevention Month
The entire team of support providers, including School-Based Therapists, School Counselors, School Psychologists and Restorative Response Specialists, play an integrated part in keeping SRCS students safe, in school and ready to learn.
SRTA Members complete mandated training around suicide prevention every other year by the end of September, per our contract.
F.2. (Action) Approval of Resolution to Recognize September Attendance Awareness Month
Attendance matters for success in school and life, and absences can easily result in a loss of very important teaching and learning time, especially considering the impact of the pandemic on learning.
The most recent post on the California Dashboard shows the following Chronic Absenteeism Data for 2023.
SRTA Members support efforts to attract and retain students in our district as well as supporting daily attendance.
It would be helpful to know what current systems are in place to assist families with getting their students to school. What resources are dedicated to this? How are we evaluating the effectiveness of these efforts, especially for our African American and Pacific Islander students?
F.3. (Discussion) Facilities Implementation Plan Update
The attached Implementation Plans lay out tentative plans for the next four years of bond spending to “Refresh, Revitalize and Renew” sites. Completed projects have almost all remained within the contract amount.
A total of $54.3 million is budgeted for thirty-one new buildings. There will be a total of eighteen new Transitional Kindergarten classrooms, nine new Kindergarten classrooms, new restrooms (1), one new admin, and two unspecified buildings at the following sites: ALES, HVES, JMES, LBES, PTES, SLES, HLES, BHES and SRCArts.
There are no plans for new buildings at ABES, LELA or FACS.
Thank you for publicly sharing these implementation plans.
Do these plans include replacing all portables?
Do site modernization plans include addressing dry rot?
SRTA members support sustainable decision making and communication systems that can be made transparent and withstand continuous changes in personnel.
F.4. (Action) Updated Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) Organizational Chart
The new Org chart shows positions, titles and who reports to whom. There is a change in moving Information and Evaluation (the old MIST) back to Business Services after a recent move to Ed Services.) The Executive Directors of Wellness and Engagement and Special Services are now Cabinet positions.
It looks like new grant funded positions in CTE under Director Cardoza have not been included.
EdJoin shows a total of 92 current postings for 165 jobs in SRCS. There are twenty-five certificated openings (six more than the last meeting.) There are three certificated management openings (the same as the last meeting.) There are 67 current classified postings for one hundred thirty-two job openings. Eighty-five of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals. There are no classified management positions.
SRTA welcomes Marlen Onofre Leon (CCLA), Sharon Stevens (SPSV), Rose Mertens (PHS), Eric Soycher (MCHS), Marcello Bautista (EAHS), Annemarie Bacich (HSMS), Berkeley Teter (RVMS and MHS), Oliver Hoban (RVMS) Jocilin Solgat (HCMS), Beth Morden (PHS), Noemi Acosta Flores (CCLA), Jocelyn Huerta Recoder (LBES), Celeste DiLullo (RHS), Matthew Ramirez (HSMS), Olivier Begue (FACS), Thomas Stephens (PHS), Marizol Hernandez (ALES), Gayle Smith (SRHS), Melisa Silva Gutierrez (LELA), as well as welcoming back four rehires.
SRTA bids farewell to Jasmine Mangabay (HLES), Elizabeth Cookman (SLES) and
Daniel Paulson (MHS) who resigned taking 8 years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students.
SRTA appreciates the approval of one more unpaid leave of absence.
Administrative movements include: Lindsey Apkarian to Interim Vice Principal of MCHS and Erika Raffo to Coordinator at Ed Services.
Changes to classified staff include twenty-three new hires, three rehires, and three resignations with five years of service.
There are four supervisory new hires.
G.4. Approval of Donations and Gifts
Highlights from recent donations: $17,800 in donations from site parent organizations and foundations for library books, supplies and hospitality, classroom supplies and toner. Thank you for your support of our staff and students.

G.7. Approval of Resolution of District for Capacity of Interdistrict Transfers for Various Grades, Special Classrooms, and Special Programs
Each year, in advance of the opening of the window for Interdistrict permits, the office of Wellness & Engagement determines the capacities of each school site to regulate available space for students requesting to transfer into SRCS.
When students were denied transfers last year, did they leave our district? Where is the data on this impact?
Why would we deny students coming from outside our district?
With the growing concern around enrollment projections, what will the policy for transfers be this year?

Based on the study, SRCS will develop a strategic plan and implement recommended changes as appropriate to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the special education delivery system. This will reflect systems, procedures, and policies that ensure educational opportunities for all students.
SRTA heartily agrees with having this study, and updating our systems in Special Services.
G.14. Approval of the Annual School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs)
The district is to publish SARCs by Feb 1 of each year. Annual approval of SARCs ensures the public is informed on a wide range of topics at each of our schools. Topics included: Internet Access, Leadership, School Mission Statement, Enrollment Data, Conditions for Learning, School Facility Conditions, and Planned Improvements.

Plan for Staff Housing support program from the proceeds of Fir Ridge

B. 2. Conferencia con el negociador laboral (Nombre del representante designado que asiste: Dra. Vicki Zands (SRCS); nombre de la organización: CSEA Santa Rosa 75)
Los miembros de SRTA apoyan firmemente la necesidad de mejorar la compensación de nuestro personal de CSEA. Los increíbles esfuerzos del personal clasificado brindan la primera línea de servicio a nuestros estudiantes y familias. SRCS depende de esta fuerza laboral para mantener nuestras puertas abiertas, literalmente. Alimentan a nuestros estudiantes, contestan nuestros teléfonos, monitorean a los estudiantes y eliminan nuestra basura.
Los miembros de SRTA están muy molestos con el contrato de $6.5 millones de dólares con Inspire para asistentes de educación especial. Es preocupante que este subcontratista pague $52 por hora a los trabajadores entre $22 y $26 por hora, lo cual es un 36% más que las publicaciones de SRCS en Edjoin. ¡Es hora de corregir este atroz error de juicio!
Resolver este problema salarial para que SRCS pueda contratar a sus propios asistentes debe ser una máxima prioridad. Los empleados subcontratados no están comprometidos con SRCS. Esto genera problemas de asistencia, inconsistencia y rotación constante del personal en el campus. Este personal temporal nunca se integra realmente en ningún campus y no logra formar parte del “equipo”.
Es hora de tomar una decisión sobre los ingresos de la venta de la propiedad de Fir Ridge. Esos fondos simplemente están sentados y perdiendo valor a medida que el costo de la vivienda continúa aumentando. Iniciar un programa de asistencia para la compra de viviendas podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener al personal de CSEA y aliviar la necesidad de una compensación adicional.

Comprométase a ver o asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directiva este año y a hablar sobre los temas de la agenda que le impacten a usted o a sus estudiantes. Los oradores se limitan a aquellos en persona. Los comentarios tienen más impacto cuando están bien expresados, compuestos y razonables.
F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN
F.1. Acción) Aprobación de Resolución para Septiembre Mes de Prevención del Suicidio
Todo el equipo de proveedores de apoyo, incluidos terapeutas escolares, consejeros escolares, psicólogos escolares y especialistas en respuesta restaurativa, desempeñan un papel integral para mantener a los estudiantes de SRCS seguros, en la escuela y listos para aprender.
Los miembros de SRTA completan la capacitación obligatoria sobre la prevención del suicidio cada dos años hasta finales de septiembre, según nuestro contrato.
F.2. (Acción) Aprobación de la resolución para reconocer septiembre como el mes de concientización sobre la asistencia
La asistencia es importante para el éxito en la escuela y en la vida, y las ausencias pueden fácilmente resultar en una pérdida de tiempo muy importante para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, especialmente considerando el impacto de la pandemia en el aprendizaje.
La publicación más reciente sobre el Panel de control de California muestra los siguientes datos de ausentismo crónico para 2023.
Los miembros de SRTA apoyan los esfuerzos para atraer y retener estudiantes en nuestro distrito, así como apoyar la asistencia diaria.
Sería útil saber qué sistemas existen actualmente para ayudar a las familias a llevar a sus estudiantes a la escuela. ¿Qué recursos se dedican a esto? ¿Cómo estamos evaluando la efectividad de estos esfuerzos, especialmente para nuestros estudiantes afroamericanos e isleños del Pacífico?
F.3. (Discusión) Actualización del plan de implementación de instalaciones
Los Planes de Implementación adjuntos establecen planes tentativos para los próximos cuatro años de gasto de bonos para “Actualizar, Revitalizar y Renovar” los sitios. Casi todos los proyectos terminados se mantuvieron dentro del monto del contrato.
Las nuevas estructuras se mencionan en los comentarios a continuación.
Se presupuestaron un total de 54.3 millones de dólares para treinta y un nuevos edificios. Habrá un total de dieciocho nuevas aulas de Kindergarten de Transición, nueve nuevas aulas de Kindergarten, nuevos baños (1), un edificio nuevo de administracion y dos edificios no especificados en los siguientes sitios: ALES, HVES, JMES, LBES, PTES, SLES, HLES, BHES y SRCArts.
No hay planes para nuevos edificios en ABES, LELA o FACS.
Gracias por compartir públicamente estos planes de implementación.
¿Estos planes incluyen el reemplazo de todos los portátiles?
¿Los planes de modernización del sitio incluyen abordar la pudrición seca?
Los miembros de SRTA apoyan sistemas de comunicación y toma de decisiones sostenibles que puedan volverse transparentes y resistir cambios continuos de personal.
F.4. (Acción) Organigrama actualizado de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa (SRCS)
El nuevo organigrama muestra puestos, títulos y quién reporta a quién. Hay un cambio en el traslado de Información y Evaluación (el antiguo MIST) de regreso a Servicios Comerciales después de un traslado reciente a Servicios Educativos). Los Directores Ejecutivos de Bienestar y Compromiso y Servicios Especiales ahora ocupan puestos en el Gabinete.
Parece que no se han incluido nuevos puestos financiados mediante subvenciones en CTE bajo la dirección del Director Cardoza.
Edjoin muestra un total de 92 publicaciones actuales para 165 puestos de trabajo en SRCS. Hay veinticinco vacantes certificadas (seis más que la última reunión). Hay tres vacantes gerenciales certificadas (las mismas que en la última reunión). Hay 67 puestos clasificados actuales para ciento treinta y dos vacantes de trabajo. Ochenta y cinco de estas vacantes son para asistentes y paraprofesionales. No existen puestos directivos clasificados.
SRTA da la bienvenida a Marlen Onofre Leon (CCLA), Sharon Stevens (SPSV), Rose Mertens (PHS), Eric Soycher (MCHS), Marcello Bautista (EAHS), Annemarie Bacich (HSMS), Berkeley Teter (RVMS y MHS), Oliver Hoban ( RVMS) Jocilin Solgat (HCMS), Beth Morden (PHS), Noemi Acosta Flores (CCLA), Jocelyn Huerta Recoder (LBES), Celeste DiLullo (RHS), Matthew Ramirez (HSMS), Olivier Begue (FACS), Thomas Stephens (PHS ), Marizol Hernández (ALES), Gayle Smith (SRHS), Melisa Silva Gutiérrez (LELA), además de dar la bienvenida a cuatro recontrataciones.
SRTA se despide de Jasmine Mangabay (ALES), Elizabeth Cookman (SLES) y
Daniel Paulson (MHS) quien renunció llevándose consigo 8 años de conocimiento y servicio. Gracias por todo lo que hizo por nuestros estudiantes.
SRTA agradece la aprobación de una licencia más sin goce de sueldo.
Los movimientos administrativos incluyen: Lindsey Apkarian a vicedirectora interina de MCHS y Erika Raffo a coordinadora de Servicios Educativos.
Los cambios en el personal clasificado incluyen veintitrés nuevas contrataciones, tres recontrataciones y tres renuncias con cinco años de servicio.
Hay cuatro nuevas contrataciones de supervisores.

G.7. Aprobación de la Resolución del Distrito sobre la Capacidad de Transferencias Interdistritales para Varios Grados, Aulas Especiales y Programas Especiales
Cada año, antes de la apertura de la ventana para permisos entre distritos, la oficina de Bienestar y Participación determina las capacidades de cada sitio escolar para regular el espacio disponible para los estudiantes que solicitan transferirse a SRCS.
Cuando a los estudiantes se les negaron las transferencias el año pasado, ¿abandonaron nuestro distrito? ¿Dónde están los datos sobre este impacto?
¿Por qué negaríamos a los estudiantes que vienen de fuera de nuestro distrito?
Ante la creciente preocupación por las proyecciones de matrícula, ¿cuál será la política de transferencias este año?

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.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1.-F.5. (Action) Approval of Santa Rosa City Schools LCAP, and Charter LCAPs
In 2013, California adopted a new formula for determining how much money each school district will receive called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The LCFF states that stakeholder engagement should be ongoing and meaningful, and should include parents, students, educators, and other stakeholders.
These action items follow the public hearings held last meeting. These plans direct the spending of supplemental and concentration funds to help unduplicated students succeed.
Elementary School District Supplemental & Concentration = $8,371,522
With the constant turnover at the administrative level, creating an ongoing and meaningfulcollaborative process to monitor and create this district plan is still in development.
F.6. (Action) Adoption of SRCS Budget for the 2024-25 School Year
This action item follows the public hearing held last meeting.
F.7. (Action) Resolution to Form the School Consolidation Advisory Committee
The proposed Fiscal Stabilization Plan components include reductions which align with right-sized district facilities and staffing. While these are difficult discussions and decisions, the Administration is committed to soliciting community involvement and input. The application submission deadline: Friday, August 2, 2024, 4:30 p.m for Board approval on August 14, 2024.
It is paramount that these discussions are conducted in an empathetic and open manner. SRCS has contracted with School Services of California to facilitate and assist in the process of coming to a consensus for recommendation to the Board for consideration.
It is expected that the Committee will be in place by August 15, 2024, and will complete its work by February 3, 2025.
August 19, 2024 – First meeting (organizational meeting)
September 9, 2024 – Second meeting
October 7, 2024 – Third meeting
October 28, 2024 – Fourth meeting
November 18, 2024 – Fifth meeting
December 16, 2024 – Sixth meeting
January 27, 2025 – Final meeting
February 3, 2025 – Alternate meeting date (if necessary)
It is anticipated that the Committee’s report will be provided to the Board at its February 12, 2025, meeting.
SRTA is unclear on how large this committee will be, how a balanced committee will be formed, and who will be making committee membership decisions. SRTA would like to work cooperatively with administration to review and approve applications from teachers, and appoint SRTA members to this committee.
F.8. (Action) Approval of Final Decision of Reclassifications for CSEA Chapter 75
The Board will consider the Superintendent’s final decision on the reclassification of the following current CSEA 75 classifications:
Student Information System Coordinator Range 43 to Range 46
District Testing Coordinator Range 31 to Range 33
Warehouse/Keeper Driver (at CNS) Range 23 to Range 24
Human Resources Technician II (denied)
If approved, the reclassification recommendations to these positions will be placed on the CSEA 75 Salary Schedule for 2024-2025 effective July 1, 2024.
The approximate cost would be $ 18,500.
SRTA supports CSEA 75 in acknowledging the increased workload that deserves increased compensation.
F.9. (Action) Approval of a Three Year Collective Bargaining Agreement Between SRCS and SRTA for July 2024-June 2027
Safety Highlights:
District agrees their responsibility is to provide safe working and learning conditions.
District agrees to getting walkie talkies to all teachers to increase communication in emergency situations (this will be a phased roll out).
District will provide a procedure for reporting unsafe conditions
District agreed to include ed. code language around suspensions in the contract
District agreed to new language regarding Safety Committee
Unit members will be a part of the committee
Committee will provide guidance on school safety plans, including gathering and analyzing data related to student misconduct, positive behavior interventions and discipline.
Committee will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of school safety.
District will provide training for staff around alternative means of correction and voluntary training on de-escalation and conflict intervention.
Definitions around assault and battery
If absence or disability arises from assault or battery or from witnessing a traumatic event, members shall suffer no loss of wages, benefits or leaves for 5 days after the event.
List of available resources regarding mental, emotional, or physical well-being, will be provided by the district
District will provide safe air quality, pest-free and asbestos-free environment
SRTA members remain concerned about the ability to attract and retain qualified substitutes. Professional Development plans are waylaid when staff can not leave their students due to lack of coverage.
F.11. (Action) First Read, and Possible Waiver of Second Read, of Board Bylaw 9250
Currently, each SRCS Board Member receives $510.51 per month for a total of $6,126.12 annually. Combined total compensation for all Board members is $42,882.84.
If approved, the 5% stipend increase raises the monthly stipend to $536.04 for an annual total of $6,432.48 for each Board member. Combined total compensation for all Board members would be $45,027.36.
SRTA supports this action. Having a functional board is vital to the operation of SRCS. Increasing the stipend widens the opportunity for more members of our community to consider serving.
Board members in office may also receive healthcare benefits from SRCS for themselves and their spouse/registered domestic partner and to their eligible dependent children at the same extent that the district pays for district employees.
F.12. (Discussion/Action) Update on Current Prop 28 and Approval of the Annual Report
Proposition 28 is expected to have a large impact on the educational impact of our schools. The funds must be used for additional or new arts programs and may not be used to supplant existing staff funding. Funds may be pooled between sites, and may be spent over three years. No programs were funded by Prop 28 in the 2023/24 fiscal year.
F.13.- F.16. (Action) Oral Recommendation Regarding Salary and Fringe Benefits; Discussion and Board Vote on Employment Agreements for Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Associate Superintendent of Business Services/CBO and Superintendent.
These contracts reflect a $4,750 increase reflecting the increase to certificated employees.
Dr. Roderick Castro as Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, salary $192,446.63 Contract
Dr. Vicki Zands as Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, salary $192,446.63 Contract
Lisa August as Associate Superintendent of Business Services/CBO, salary $222,110 Contract
Dr. Daisy Morales as Superintendent, salary $261,537 Contract
EdJoin shows a total of 105 current postings for 171 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 26 certificated openings (seven less than the last meeting.) There is one certificated management opening (one more than the last meeting.) There are 139 current classified postings (five less than the last meeting), and no classified management positions. Fifty-one of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals (twenty-eight less than the last meeting.)
SRTA welcomes Jodi Peterson (MCHS.)
SRTA bids farewell to Jennifer Cadden (HSMS) who has resigned and Deanna Fontanes-Halliday (SPSV) who has retired. They leave taking 5 years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students.
SRTA appreciates the approval of unpaid leaves of absence.
Two more certificated staff are transferring to new positions.
Administrative movement includes the following new hires: Melissa Jones (CCLA Asst. Principal) and Luz Perez, Exec. Director of Ed Services (Zalanardo’s old post.) Monique Luke MCHS Principal has resigned.
Changes to classified staff include three probationary releases, two promotions, six resignations with twelve years of service and one retirement with 22.5 years of service. This is a net loss of ten employees.
With 174 staff leaving over the course of this year due to resignations and retirements, one thousand five hundred fifteen (1,515) years of experience leaves us. This puts a strain on those with seniority that remain. There are not sufficient supported systems for orienting and passing on historical and practical knowledge to the over two hundred fifty new hires. SRCS relies on donations for this vital work.

G.7. Approval of New Courses Proposal for Alternative Diploma Pathway
Last year the Board added “Small Group Instruction” (SGI) courses throughout the SRCS course catalog in order to provide options to the IEP teams to provide accommodated state content areas and still meet the local SRCS 220 credit graduation diploma. The Board will consider for action new courses for the alternate pathway to a high school diploma for students with significant cognitive disabilities to obtain a 130 credit diploma. Curriculum for these courses will immediately be modified from current SGI courses, not requiring additional textbooks at this time. The ESN program will be piloting two on-line programs that provide modification of state standards available for students with such disabilities. The costs of these programs are estimated with a one time purchase of about $13,000 with ongoing licensing costs of about $7,000. The results of the curriculum pilot teams will bring their recommendations forward for future approval.
SRTA celebrates the change of heart in offering non-A to G courses to students, acknowledging that one size does not fit all students and SRTA would like to continue to advocate for our general education students to have access to non A-G classes as well.
Scheduling at our secondary schools is being delayed for our ESN students as we wait for these courses to be approved.
G.8. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Instructional Technology, Data & Assessment Specialist
SRTA members are relieved to see this job description. The elimination of the technology TOSA was a source of great concern as members raved over Linda Kastanis’s prompt responses and willingness to help with the exact “Just in Time” PD or support needed.
G.9. Approval of Unified Physical Education Course Proposal
With these courses, SRCS will have a more inclusive option within Physical Education courses that will allow students of all ability levels to have opportunities to successfully complete the district graduation requirement. Students with needs in the areas of Adapted Physical Education and moderate to severe disabilities will be served in these collaborative (co-taught) and inclusive courses.
Financial Implications: Approximately $1,000 per secondary site that schedules these courses to acquire necessary Physical Education materials and equipment to implement inclusive activities.
SRTA calls out that per the collective bargaining agreement Co-Teaching is voluntary for both the general education teacher as well as the educational specialists because willing partners make for the best implementation.
The late addition of this course makes scheduling difficult. There was much discussion around adding this course and what supports the district would provide, as well as the amount of work on the parts of the adaptive PE and general Ed PE teachers to make this course happen, only to have the district waiver on committing to it. It is an important opportunity and valuable course that requires district support, equipment, class sections, staffing, training and stipends in order for it to be successful.
G.10. Approval of School Plan for Student Achievement (Site SPSAs)
In 2013, California adopted a new formula for determining how much money each school district will receive called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The LCFF states that stakeholder engagement should be ongoing and meaningful, and should include parents, students, educators, and other stakeholders. Creating this process is still in its infancy at the site level.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLANS FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT 2024-25
SRTA members are encouraged to review the SPSA for their site.
School Site Council members are encouraged to insist on a process of including staff in decisions as well as evaluating the metrics of the efforts to improve student achievement.
Seven Recommended Steps for Developing the Single Plan for Student Achievement:
1 Analyze Student Achievement Data
2 Measure Effectiveness of Current Improvement Strategies Using State Tools to
Determine Critical Causes of Student Underachievement
3 Identify Achievement Goals and Key Improvement Strategies that Align with the
District Local Educational Agency Plan General Rule for Integrating Plans
4 Define Timelines, Personnel Responsible, Proposed Expenditures, and Funding
Sources to Implement the Plan
5 Recommend the Single Plan for Student Achievement to the Local Governing
Board
6 Implement the Plan
7 Monitor Implementation Mid-year Changes to the Single Plan for Student
Achievement

G.11. Approval of Development Group, Inc. (DGI) CMAS and PEPPM contracts supporting Classroom Technology Upgrades – Phase III Rollout
Phase III Rollout:
Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts (Interactive Flat Panels and voice amplification systems),
Santa Rosa French American Charter School (voice amplification systems) and
Hidden Valley Elementary School (Interactive Flat Panels).
This phase also backfills a few classrooms that came into use after the Initial and Phase II rollouts.
As a final phase, SRCS will compile a district-wide list of unique classrooms where the cart setup is not suitable. SRCS will conduct a study with architects to determine specific installation specifications for these spaces within the larger bond project of classroom reconditioning.
G.14. Adopt Resolution No. 2023/24-85, approval to proceed with the District Office & Education Center Design-Build Request for Qualification/Proposal (RFQ/P)
The first part of the design-build process was the project selection and feasibility. Next was the bridging documents and cost estimation portion of the process. Now is the stage of going out to find a design/contractor team to design the entire District Office Educational Complex.
G.15. Approval of Lease Agreements with Enterprise Fleet Management for Vehicle Replacement for the District Warehouse
The District owns three (3) vehicles utilized by Warehouse staff. The average age of the vehicles is seventeen (17) years with two of the vehicles being non-operational. This proposal is for 60 month leases for two vehicles.
2024 Ford Transit-250 Cargo Van Lease Agreement 2024 Ford Transit-250 Cargo Van at $1,326.03 per month, for a total of $15,912.36 annually or $79,562 over the term of the lease for a vehicle which would cost $58,400 to purchase.
2024 Isuzu NQR Lease Agreement 2024 Isuzu NQR Box Truck at $2,005.37 per month, for a total of $24,064.44 annually or $120,322 over the term of the lease for a vehicle which would cost $98,960 to purchase.
SRTA members support replacing the decrepit vehicles, but question the wisdom of five year leases that each cost $20,000 more than purchasing the vehicles and leave the district empty handed at the end of the five years.
G.16. Approval of Resolution 2023/24-84 for the Declaration of Obsolete Items/Equipment and Authorization to Sell, Dispose, and/or Donate
This resolution declares approximately 5,940 non-operable/unsupported electronics and miscellaneous items/equipment as obsolete and of insufficient value and authorizes staff to sell, dispose, and/or donate the equipment. All eWaste and shop equipment declared insufficient or of limited value will be picked up by an electronics/machinery recycling company at no cost. The Auto Shop vehicles will be picked up by a local salvage yard at no cost.
Those items that have been identified to have a potential resale value will be sold through public auction.
Over 5000 Chromebooks are being disposed of. It is time for SRCS to update the policies, procedures and processes utilized in providing technology. The expected useful life of a Chromebook is five years while the most recent releases are expected to last for ten years.
G.17. Notice and Approval of the Removal/Recycling of Unusable, Outdated, and/or Damage Instructional Materials and Textbooks
The Board will consider approval of the removal/recycling of approximately 7,660 unusable, outdated and/or damaged instructional materials and textbooks that have been removed from sites and stored in the Warehouse in accordance with District policy and State law. The instructional material that is not donated will be picked up and recycled by a company that specializes in textbook recycling at a cost of $250 per load.
G.18. Approval of the Use of Piggyback Bids/Contracts (CMAS, NASPO, Co-Ops) for the 2024-25 School Year
the Board may determine that it is best to piggyback onto the contract of another public agency or corporation for the lease or purchase of furniture, equipment or supplies to the extent authorized by law. Utilizing piggyback bids, CMAS and NASPO contracts, and Co-Ops will allow the District to secure better pricing and will save time when making purchases that exceed bid limits.
G.19. Approval of Arntz Builders, Inc. Phase One Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the District Office & Education Center: Central Receiving Warehouse
To help expedite the schedule and reduce the overall cost of construction of a new warehouse building, a pre-manufactured warehouse building was selected to be purchased as part of this contract. At this time, we are bringing forth the first amendment to Exhibit A to the approved facilities lease for the project. This amendment is for $1,024,913.44 for the delivery of the pre-manufactured warehouse to the site.
G.20. Approval of Resolution No. 2023/24-86 to Establish Temporary Inter-fund Transfers
This is an annual precautionary measure, due to the current circumstances that could impact the receipt of revenues, that allows SRCS to cover any negative cash flow needed for the fiscal year to cover costs until revenues are received.
G.21. Approval of Resolution No 2023/24-87 Requesting Fund Transfer Under Article XVI, Section 6 of the State Constitution to Borrow Funds From The Sonoma County Treasury as Needed During the 2024-25 Fiscal Year
To ensure there is cash on hand to meet financial obligations prior to receiving all revenues, including revenue from property taxes, this line of credit option with the Sonoma County Treasury is a cash flow tool that is presented annually to the Board of Education for approval. The district expects to use this line of credit at a 3% rate of interest until the December property tax is received.
The agenda does not include the anticipated cost for utilizing this line of credit.
This software provides learning support to students in subjects that they are enrolled in through ISP. With the current financial constraints, this option is being sought after because it comes at a lower cost to a previous program, has more course offerings for students, and will allow first hand experience for both students and teachers in ISP with a new program which could possibly be used if the district moves towards implementing a fully virtual ISP option. This decision was agreed upon with the whole ISP team of teachers, classified, and administration.
The contract states that utilizing additional licenses will incur additional expenses- but the number of student licenses is not specified.
The total cost is $22,571.58 and includes a three hour workshop for ISP teachers, funded through the LCAP.
G.23. Approval of the Epicenter Contract for Elsie Allen and Piner High School Graduation Celebration Night
The concept of a Grad Night, with the primary goal being offered to graduating seniors, is a fun-filled evening in a safe location. The event will take place on June 8, 2024, and will include activities, food and drinks for the students who attend.
$22,893.75 will be covered by site funds and be provided at a fee of $20 per student. At 200 students, this will cost the sites about $19,000.
There is no clarification included about the personnel needed for this event. Historically Parent Associations have run these events, including providing supervision. Does this contract represent a change of practice?
G.24. Approval of Perkins Eastman Master Architectural Agreement
Having firms included in the approved pool allows SRCS the opportunity to apply for state funds such as modernization grants for any qualifying projects designed by these firms.
The Board will consider the approval of Chemins (Secondary), a print and digital curriculum solution that fully integrates and scaffolds a French-language program that will build intercultural communicative proficiency through a cohesive cultural approach to each unit of study. This curriculum will be used for the French 1P, French 2P, French 2HP, French 3P, French 3HP, and French 4P courses.
The total cost for textbooks for the French courses serving over 860 students is $197,530.52. Lottery funds will be used for this expenditure. This includes textbooks and the online resources component for six years. Consumable workbooks will be additional and will be purchased yearly depending on student enrollment.
G.27. Approval of Agricultural Career Technical Education Incentive Grants
These applications for $46,980 in grant funding for the Elsie Allen and Santa Rosa High School Agriculture Programs are due to the California Department of Education on July 15, 2024. There is a 1:1 matching funds requirement.
Due to budget constraints, schools with agricultural programs are staffing courses at higher teacher/student ratios than required for eligibility for additional grant funding which involves reallocating funds from the CTE consumable supply budgets, as this is more economical than hiring additional staff to meet the lower ratio requirements.
One site bell schedule includes about six extra days worth of minutes.
G.29. Approval of iReady Contract
i-Ready Assessment System and Personalized Instruction platform contract is for both English Language Arts and Mathematics through sixth grade. The program will replace Let’s Go Learn Assessment, Lexia Core 5, Lexia Power Up, and Lexia English. Elementary teachers will be offered training during the grade level release days provided during August and September.
Financial Impact:
$489,645.81 for a three-year contract
SRCS is projecting a savings of $488,004.14over the three years by reducing the number of assessment platforms and because supplemental support is now embedded within the personalized plan.
Metrics are said to include reviewing and refining metrics to ensure they accurately reflect student performance and program effectiveness as well as soliciting feedback from educators to improve the i-Ready implementation.
The redesignation requirements will need to be updated to include i-Ready.
SRTA members look forward to the opportunity to review metrics and provide feedback on this new platform. How will this be rolled out?
G.30. Approval of 95% Phonics Core Curriculum Contract
The Board will consider the approval of the 95% Phonics Core Program for Santa Rosa City Schools Tier 1 foundational skills reading curriculum for Kindergarten through fifth grade. The 95% Phonics Core Program is a stand-alone program that will replace McGraw Hill Wonders/Wonder Works (board adopted 2018), which is part of a broader curriculum program not used in Santa Rosa City Schools.
SRTA celebrates the adoption of the curriculum chosen by the teachers that participated in the pilot.
G.31. Approval of CTE Counselor on Special Assignment (COSA) Job Description
The Career Technical Education (CTE) Counselor on Special Assignment (COSA) will assist with the alignment of the CTE program activities and counseling efforts. The COSA will support the implementation of work-based learning opportunities, increased access to early college credit opportunities in CTE, and other college and career readiness initiatives.
G.32. Approval of 2024-2025 Scheduled Management Salary Schedule with $4750 Increase per cell
The Board will consider approving a $4,750 salary increase per cell to the Scheduled Management Salary Schedule for both classified and certificated positions effective July 1, 2024 reflecting the agreement with SRTA.
G.33. Approval of Multiple Site MOUSs with SRCS and SRTA Regarding Bell Schedules, Instructional Minutes and Prep Periods
The Board will consider approving the multiple site Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) that were generated in collaboration with site principals and staff regarding site bell schedules, instructional minutes, instructional block schedules and prep periods.
SRTA Members are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming agenda items.
The following are future board update items:
Revised Organizational Chart (8/14/24)
45 Day Budget Revision (8/14/24)
Unaudited Actuals (9/11/24)
District and School Site Safety Plans (9/25/24)
SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:
It is appreciated that the following list has been significantly diminished over the prior year.
Facilities Implementation Plan & Facilities Report (6/26/24)
Officially Closing Learning House
SRACS Accelerated Charter Material Revision Request (delayed)
Unification/Redistricting Decision
Plan for Staff Housing support program from the proceeds of Fir Ridge
Until the district makes a decision, the proceeds from the sale are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a program started could help SRCS attract and retain staff. The potential of the funds diminishes as time passes.

Recently, public comments have been welcome during this item.
E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items
SRTA members are invited to complete ‘blue cards.’ Online comments have been suspended. Please be prepared to observe the three minute time limit or the imposition of a possible two or even one minute limit. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time.
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.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
SRTA is celebrating a Tentative Agreement with SRCS. SRTA Members have ratified the agreement. It awaits SRCS board approval. There is appreciation for everyone who helped facilitate this agreement.
F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. Public Hearing for Santa Rosa City Schools LCAP
LCAP Goals
1. SRCS will provide student-centered teaching and learning opportunities by increasing programs and services that maximize student growth toward meeting or exceeding standards with an emphasis in the areas of English Language Arts and Math.
2. SRCS, in partnership with our community, commits to developing safe, inclusive, culturally responsive learning environments to promote social-emotional wellness and address the physical needs of students, families, and staff.
3. SRCS commits to providing high-quality, relevant staff development that promotes professional growth and collaboration to increase student achievement.
SRCS shared their LCAP with SRTA two weeks ago during a collaboration meeting. SRTA took time to read the draft, and then met again last week to ask clarifying questions, understanding that the LCAP was complete. SRCS is working on their internal LCAP process, improving it each year. It is hoped that SRTA can be invited in as actual partners of the mid-year review and participate in the the decision making process for the next revision of the LCAP.
There is data collection and review built into this plan, however systemic academic support in response to the needs the data reveals remains undefined.
SRTA celebrates the inclusion of clear metrics with both baselines and goals, as well as the elimination of NWEA MAP testing.
Sites will be provided additional new funds for athletics that can be used as the site decides to help cover athletic officiating, intramurals or whatever else is needed.
F.2.-F.5 Public Hearing for SRCS Charter School LCAPs
F.7. (Discussion) Update on Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 2024/25 #2 reached with Santa Rosa City Schools and the California School Employee Association Chapter 75 (CSEA 75) Regarding the Student Safety Advisor Job Description
The SRCS board approved these as item F6 on March 27, 2024.
Currently, there are 18 of 24 Campus Supervisor positions filled. Of those, 14 have filled out the form and all 14 want to reclassify. There are 11 Student Advisor positions. Of those, 10 filled out the form. Of the 10, 9 want to reclassify and 1 wants to stay as a Student Advisor.
SRTA supports the approval of these negotiated job descriptions.
F.9. (Action) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between SRCS and SRTA Regarding Counselor Workload due to Waivers
The District shall provide High School Counselors with five (5) per diem days each, retroactively, for processing Math and LOTE Waivers.
If graduation requirements are added or amended during the 2024/25 school year that require additional meetings and workload to process, counselors will be compensated at the same rate.
SRTA appreciates this MOU and wants to remind the Board that no matter what the timeline that new policy is approved, the workload added to counselors the last five years to track graduation and offer/meet/ collect one or more of three approved waivers or complete a custom grad plan for students with an IEP is not a realistic or sustainable policy. It would be helpful if implementation timelines were considered as part of a collaborative process to allow the changes to be incorporated in the normal run of things. Students choose classes in January/February when all students meet with counselors. Any changes to course offerings or graduation requirements or waivers after that date require additional student meetings.
F.10. (Action) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between SRCS and SRTA Regarding Extended Pay Rate for School Psychologists
Similar to extended day for teachers, extended day for School Psychologists work will be calculated as .0007975 of Level 1, Step 4
EdJoin shows a total of 110 current postings for 177 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 33 certificated openings (ten more than the last meeting.) There are no certificated management openings (one less than the last meeting.) There are 144 current classified postings, and no classified management positions (fifty-two more than the last meeting.) Seventy-nine of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals (the same as the last meeting.)
There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.
SRTA welcomes Ryan Branche (EAHS) and welcomes back MichaelMilbrath (SRCSA.)
SRTA bids farewell to folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Kathryn Faircloth (MCHS), Breanne Cassells (SRHS), Terrence Bell (PHS), Nicole Albini (SLES), Lauren Liotta (EAHS), Christopher LaBerge (CCLA), Christie Rose (MCHS), Samantha Kim (SLES), Yosan Zeweldi (EAHS), Mina Duffy (SPSV) and Jonathan Kendall (SPSV.) They leave taking 68 years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students. Know you will be missed.
Danita Haynes (H&H), Rose Morgan (LBES) and Doug Gibson (EAHS) have retired after sixty-four years of service to our students. Know your impact and dedication are appreciated. SRTA wishes them the best in retirement.
SRTA appreciates the approval of reduced workloads and requests for leave.
Twenty certificated staff are transferring to new positions.
Administrative movement includes the following new hires: Elizabeth Stevenson RVMS AP and Hector Soto Brook Hill Principal.
Changes to classified staff include six new hires, two probationary releases, two promotions, five resignations with 29 years of service and two retirements with 63 years of service. This is a net loss of three employees.
With 172 staff leaving over the course of this year due to resignations and retirements, one thousand five hundred ten years of experience leaves us. This puts a strain on those with seniority that remain. There are not sufficient supported systems for passing on historical and practical knowledge to the two hundred fifty two new hires.

How was the contract with Acosta evaluated? SRTA was informed that Truss Leadership will be subcontracted through Acosta. That is not stipulated in the contract.
MCHS is picking up a CEP class. With such limited space, could the SELPA contract be moved to another site?
The shift in website providers has had difficulties. A comprehensive plan including remuneration for work done on site websites is needed.
It is agreed that streamlined processes would benefit the SRCS HR system. Informed K12 was said to be phased out as an expanded contract with Frontline would be able to be utilized for this. Have plans changed? This contract is for 229% of last year’s contract, yet it covers 10 new forms just as the last contract did.
Contracts It is appreciated that there are dividers in this upload making it easy to find particular contracts within the pdf.
G.7. College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership Agreement
The CCAP Partnership Agreement would enable Santa Rosa City Schools’ students to enroll in Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) courses offered on a high school campus during school hours. CCAP agreements are dual enrollment opportunities that are explicitly entered into by school districts through BOE action by adopting Memorandums of Understanding between the district and the partner Junior College. This is intended to support Elsie Allen High School to expand early college access and credit opportunities.
G.9. Approval of Magnolia Global Academy For Leaders Contract
In an effort to expand work-based learning activities in middle school, this contract supports a pilot career exploration program connected to an existing College and Career Readiness course at Santa Rosa Middle School. The existing course provides middle school students the opportunity to explore potential careers, establish educational and career goals aligned to interests, and strengthens alignment to the Career Technical Education programs offered in high school. The services provided in the contract will enhance and compliment the course curriculum and support work-based learning as an instructional strategy.
Next year will be the second year of a multiple year initiative in support of Equity Based Grading at Elsie Allen. The OTUS platform will allow teachers to use standards-based rubrics and progressions to assess student work and will integrate with the AERIES system. Currently AERIES does not support these equity based grading approaches.
This contract will be paid by Elsie Allen Site CSI monies.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
F.1. (Action) Resolution Reaffirming Support for LGBTQIA+ Community
Resolution includes, “Professional development opportunities shall be provided to District staff to enhance their understanding of LGBTQIA+ issues, develop inclusive teaching practices, and create supportive classroom environments.”
F.2. (Action) Accept the Measure I, L, C and G Citizens’ Oversight Committee Annual Reports and Audit Reports
The Citizens’ Oversight Committee(s) is only involved with the approval of bond spending. They are tasked with approving the use of bond funds to reimburse the district for funds already spent. It appears that this report closes out funds from measures I and L.
This item was rolled over from the last regular board meeting. It is expected that feelers with the community would be explored and shared at this meeting regarding a Parcel Tax allowing an informed decision on next steps.
SRTA expects this effort to be shelved. It is hoped that the board can oversee the development of a SRCS environment where a future parcel tax can pass with ease.
F.4. (Action) 2023-24 Third Interim Financial Report and Information on the Governor’s May Revision to the 2024-25 Proposed State Budget
$8.3 million is said to be saved by eliminating Particular Kinds of Services (positions). An additional $5 million in unidentified fiscal stabilization measures are included in the 24-25 school year projections.
Over $13,000 was spent to defend members of the certificated bargaining unit during the RIF process. How much did these RIFS cost SRCS in legal fees? Where does this type of item get tucked into this budget update?
The board has approved the elimination of 82.75 FTE positions and released 23 people from service.
F.7. (Action) Approval of a Resolution for Governing Board Elections November 2024
The November 5, 2024, election will fill regular openings on the Governing Board for the 2024-2028 term. In order to complete the resolution for the Specifications of the Election Order, the Board must stipulate the following:
1. How many and whose seats are up for election for the 2024-2028 regular 4-year term The four (4) Board seats coming up for election will be from Trustee Areas 1, 3, 5, and 7. The terms of Ever Flores, Alegría De La Cruz, Ed Sheffield, and Jeremy De La Torre will be expiring this year.
2. The cost responsibility for the Statement of Qualifications The district shall pay the cost of printing, handling, translating, and mailing candidate statements filed pursuant to Elections Code 13307 and Board Policy 9220. Candidate statements shall be limited to no more than 200 words.
3. How a tie vote will be resolved: whether to hold a run-off election or draw lots (historical choice.)
EdJoin shows a total of 116 current postings for 176 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 23 certificated openings (two less than the last meeting.) There is one certificated management opening (two less than the last meeting.) There are 92 current classified postings, and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.) Seventy-nine of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals.
There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.
SRTA bids farewell to folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Sara Duckart (JMES), Rachel Spector (EdServ), James Baptista (MCHS), Maleni Carrillo Gomez (LBES), Joshua Motchar (ABES) and Maille McCalister (EAHS.) They leave taking 30 years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students. Know you will be missed.
SRTA appreciates the approval of a LOA.
Administrative movement includes the following new to their positions: Debra LaPrath SRMS Asst. Principal, Ryan Thompson PHS Vice Principal, Jill Finnerty SRHS Asst. Principal and the resignation of Isaac Murillo Estrada SRHS Asst. Principal.
Aside from summer school positions, the only ongoing change to classified staff is a termination.
G.4 Approval of Donations and Gifts
School of the Arts Community Organization made a generous non cash donation of tables and chairs valued at $28,000.
This addendum doubles the original contract to $205,000 to help SRCS identify and apply for modernization funding from the state.

Contracts It is appreciated that there are dividers in this upload making it easy to find particular contracts within the pdf.
At each site, one set of HS restrooms underwent remodels last year for about $250,000. This set of contracts includes designs for all-access restrooms expected to run over one million dollars per site. Can it be confirmed that the all-access restrooms are separate restrooms and will not involve gutting these newly remodeled restrooms?
There are contracts for design through closeout architectural services for two sites totaling $394,000 and schematics for eight sites for $251,800. It looks like there will be design thru close out contracts for these eight sites in the future. The total cost for the ten restrooms is estimated to be $16.35 million.
G.7. Approval of Oliver’s Market Agreement
The Board will consider approval of an Memorandum Of Understanding with Oliver’s Market for competitive integrated employment work opportunities with the Santa Rosa City School’s 18-22 Transition Program to support vocational skills training for students with disabilities.
SRCS is stated to be assuming all costs associated with this agreement. SRCS will pay up to six students minimum wage for up to five hours per day for up to five days per week. A maximum of $46,642.50 is to be reimbursed by Olivers Market, Montecito Center to cover minimum wage for these students.
SRTA celebrates this vocational training for our students, while being assured that employees will not be displaced by this program.
G.8. Approval of Beyond Equity in Education
This contract is with Dr. Bay Jones for facilitation work with the board around the Strategic Priorities.
SRTA understands the mission and vision are overarching. SRCS would benefit from more focused priorities with clear metrics perhaps with a shorter duration to guide the work of the district in a less ambiguous way.
G.9. Integrated Math 1P Focus with Math 2P Foundations
This two-year course will cover all of Math 1 standards and bridge to Math 2 standards by the end of the second year. The titles for the two years will be: Year 1: Integrated Math 1P Focus, Year 2: Integrated Math 1P+ Focus with Math 2 Foundations.
The intent is that this course will meet 2 years of the SRCS math graduation requirements: Math 1and 1-year beyond Math 1.
G.10. Integrated Math 2P Modeling in Our World (MOW)
UC admissions for current sophomores requires Math 1 through Math 3 with grades of C or better. SRCS supports students moving on in math if they have credit from Math 1 (as long as they do not fail.) This course gives students with a weaker foundation a better chance of passing Math 2 than the traditional course. It is intended for students articulating to an alternative Math 3 course, such as Algebra with Financial Applications, Statistical Reasoning in Sports, or Statistics for Social Justice. This course is not intended for students wishing to complete Math 3.
SRTA encourages the approval of this course. Implementation will require further work to create specific lessons. The course proposal writing team asked for ongoing funding for supplies to allow the course to be more hands-on.
G.11. Approval of SGI Ethnic Studies Course Proposal
This new course is designed to give students the opportunity to meet both an Ethnic Studies requirement and an ELA requirement in the same academic year with small group instruction.
SRTA hopes that we can hire the right person to lead SRCS forward.
G.14 to G.21
Painting of all sites is expected to take two to three years. These eight sites will get painted this summer for $2.982 million dollars. It is not specified how these sites were chosen.
G.14. Approval of Pacific Contractors Group contract for SRHS Exterior Painting Project
Tree removal is included. Plaster repair will be additional.
G.22. Approval of Piner High School’s Leadership Members to Travel to Seattle, WA
The Board is being asked to approve the Field Trip Request form for four Piner High School Students and one advisor (Culinary Teacher) to participate in the 2024 National Leadership Conference in Seattle, Washington, June 28–July 3, 2024 for Family and Consumer Sciences professionals and students from across the country.
G.23. Approval of The Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma-Marin For Expanded Learning Programs
The Board will consider approval of a contract to offer after-school, expanded learning programs to approximately 1,661 students at 12 sites (9 elementary, 2 K-8 and 1 middle) for the 2024-2025 instructional school year. Participating sites include: Biella, Brook Hill, Luther Burbank, Helen Lehman, Lincoln, James Monroe, Steele Lane, Proctor Terrace, Hidden Valley, CCLA, Arts Charter and Comstock.
Additional services included in the total cost of the contract include 2 weeks of programming for 350 students (1 week during Winter Break and 1 week during Spring Break), and 4 weeks of activities during summer 2025 for 1150 students.
Total cost anticipated to be $4,961,113 but potential enrollment numbers show $5,088,256.
SRCS has a limited budget. SRCS has limited manpower. It is time to hone our focus and energies to establish systems for implementing identified essential actions for the district.
“How can I create time for the most important things instead of trying to do as many things as possible?”
SRTA Members are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming agenda items.
LCAP Public Hearings (6/12/24)
Public Hearing on 2024/2025 District Budget (6/12/24)
SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:
Officially Closing Learning House
MAP Testing (Board request 8/23/23)
At one meeting, the fact that a certain percentage of math and English teachers had given this test last year was presented by SRCS as evidence that the test is good, and teachers supported giving it. This is not logical nor accurate. The legitimate concerns teachers have shared about this assessment have been dismissed. The meeting teachers had with a district representative last year about alternative assessment possibilities appears to have been to no effect.
The longitudinal CAASPP data has clearly identified concerns about student performance. Current efforts could be better spent addressing those academic concerns, instead of collecting more data. This is especially frustrating when the MAP assessment isn’t seen as helpful for students or teachers.
Thank you to Directors Medina and De La Cruz for requesting more information on this assessment. SRTA members look forward to this agenda item.
SRACS Accelerated Charter Material Revision Request (delayed)
Unification/Redistricting Decision
Plan for Staff Housing support program from the proceeds of Fir Ridge
Until the district makes a decision, the proceeds from the sale are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a program started could help SRCS attract and retain staff. The potential of the funds diminishes as time passes.
Student Voice Policy
BEST Plus Update
Many staff members have not been trained, and are not aware of what this looks like in practice.
J.4. Facilities Projects Update
The next Facilities Advisory Committee meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday, 5/30/2024, at 5:30 p.m. If you would like to attend, please email Facilities at facilities@srcs.k12.ca.us.
Planning Stage and Upcoming Projects
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Classrooms-District Wide for summer of 2025.
The facilities and program management team is synthesizing feedback from the workshop and formulating the next steps for Classroom Modernization.
District Office & Education Center Phase 3 of the move is complete.
See above for eight exterior painting projects for this summer.
J.5. College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership Agreement
The CCAP Partnership Agreement would enable Santa Rosa City Schools’ students to enroll in Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) courses offered on a high school campus during school hours. It is important to stress that CCAP agreements do not reduce public school district full-time equivalents and therefore, do not impact school site section allocation. This explicitly means that CCAP agreements protect K-12 education employment and guarantee the protection of FTE. Students who successfully pass a dual enrollment course would earn both high school and college credit. SRJC courses are weighted and have a positive GPA for students successfully passing courses.
The College and Career Access Pathway Grant will cover instructional materials and curriculum costs associated with CCAP courses offered through this agreement.
CCAP MOUSRTA was recently assured dual enrollment was on a slow roll.

E. Comentarios públicos sobre temas fuera de la agenda
Se invita a los miembros de SRTA a completar “tarjetas azules”. Se han suspendido los comentarios en línea. Esté preparado para respetar el límite de tiempo de tres minutos o la imposición de un posible límite de dos o incluso un minuto. En este momento sólo se abordan los puntos que NO están en la agenda.
Se solicitan comentarios en la reunión de la Mesa Directa directiva para aportar la perspectiva de un miembro y compartir experiencias reales sobre el impacto de las políticas y prácticas del distrito.
Comprométase a ver o asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directa este año y a hablar sobre un tema de la agenda que lo afecte a usted o a sus estudiantes. Los oradores se limitan a aquellos en persona. Los comentarios tienen más impacto cuando están bien expresados, compuestos y razonables.
SRTA está celebrando un acuerdo tentativo con SRCS. Se espera que se pueda ratificar un nuevo contrato antes de que entremos en las vacaciones de verano. Agradecemos a todos los que ayudaron a facilitar este acuerdo.
F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN
F.1. (Acción) Resolución que reafirma el apoyo a la comunidad LGBTQIA+
La resolución incluye: “Se brindarán oportunidades de desarrollo profesional al personal del Distrito para mejorar su comprensión de las cuestiones LGBTQIA+, desarrollar prácticas de enseñanza inclusivas y crear entornos de aula de apoyo”.
F.2. (Acción) Aceptar los Informes Anuales e Informes de Auditoría del Comité de Supervisión Ciudadana de las Medidas I, L, C y G
Los Comités de Supervisión Ciudadana solo participan en la aprobación del gasto de bonos. Tienen la tarea de aprobar el uso de los fondos de los bonos para reembolsar al distrito los fondos ya gastados. Parece que este informe cierra los fondos de las medidas I y L.
F.3. (Discusión/Acción) Próximos pasos del impuesto predial
Este punto fue transferido de la última reunión ordinaria de la Mesa Directa. Se espera que en esta reunión se exploren y compartan tanteos con la comunidad con respecto a un impuesto predial que permita tomar una decisión informada sobre los próximos pasos.
SRTA espera que este esfuerzo sea archivado. Se espera que la Mesa Directa pueda supervisar el desarrollo de un entorno SRCS donde un futuro impuesto predial pueda aprobarse con facilidad.
F.4. (Acción) Tercer informe financiero provisional 2023-24 e información sobre la revisión de mayo del Gobernador del presupuesto estatal propuesto para 2024-25
Se dice que se ahorrarán $8.3 millones al eliminar tipos particulares de servicios (puestos). En las proyecciones del año escolar 24-25 se incluyen $5 millones adicionales en medidas de estabilización fiscal no identificadas.
Se gastaron más de $13,000 para defender a los miembros de la unidad de negociación certificada durante el proceso del RIF. ¿Cuánto le costaron estos RIFS a SRCS en honorarios legales? ¿Dónde se incluye este tipo de elemento en esta actualización del presupuesto?
La Mesa Directa aprobó la eliminación de 82.75 puestos FTE y liberó del servicio a 23 personas.
F.7. (Acción) Aprobación de Resolución para Elecciones de Mesa Directa de Gobierno de noviembre de 2024
La elección del 5 de noviembre de 2024 cubrirá las vacantes regulares en la Mesa Directa de Gobierno para el período 2024-2028. Para completar la resolución del Pliego de Orden de Elección, la Mesa Directa deberá estipular lo siguiente:
1. ¿Cuántos y quiénes son los puestos que se elegirán para el período regular de 4 años 2024-2028? Los cuatro (4) puestos de la Mesa Directa que se elegirán serán de las Áreas de Fideicomisarios 1, 3, 5 y 7. Los términos de Ever Flores, Alegría De La Cruz, Ed Sheffield y Jeremy De La Torre expirarán este año.
2. La responsabilidad del costo de la Declaración de Cualificaciones. El distrito pagará el costo de impresión, manejo, traducción y envío por correo de las declaraciones de los candidatos presentadas de conformidad con el Código Electoral.13307 y Política de la Mesa Directa 9220. Las declaraciones de los candidatos se limitarán a no más de 200 palabras.
3. Cómo se resolverá un empate: si se realizará una segunda vuelta o se sorteará (elección histórica).
Los representantes del sitio de SRTA disfrutaron de una visita reciente del director Jeremy DeLaTorre. SRTA lo ha respaldado como Fideicomisario del Área 7.
EdJoin muestra un total de 116 publicaciones actuales para 176 puestos vacantes para SRCS. Hay 23 vacantes certificadas (dos menos que la última reunión). Hay una vacante gerencial certificada (dos menos que la última reunión). Hay 92 puestos clasificados actuales y ningún puesto gerencial clasificado (el mismo que en la última reunión). Setenta y nueve de estas vacantes son para asistentes y paraprofesionales.
Todavía hay un problema con EdJoin que muestra las vacantes de la Diócesis Católica de Santa Rosa dentro de la búsqueda de SRCS este mes que en realidad son para la escuela St. Vincent DePaul.
SRTA se despide de las personas que renunciarán a finales de este año. Sara Duckart (JMES), Rachel Spector (EdServ), James Baptista (MCHS), Maleni Carrillo Gomez (LBES), Joshua Motchar (ABES) y Maille McCalister (EAHS). Se van llevándose 30 años de conocimiento y servicio. Gracias por todo lo que hizo por nuestros estudiantes. Sepan que los extrañaremos.
SRTA agradece la aprobación de una LOA.
El movimiento administrativo incluye a las siguientes personas nuevas en sus puestos: Debra LaPrath SRMS Asst. Director, Ryan Thompson Subdirector de PHS, Jill Finnerty Asistente de SRHS. Director y renuncia de Isaac Murillo Estrada SRHS Asst. Principal.
Aparte de los puestos de la escuela de verano, el único cambio actual en el personal clasificado es el despido.
G.4 Aprobación de Donaciones y Regalos
La Organización Comunitaria de la Escuela de Artes hizo una generosa donación no monetaria de mesas y sillas valoradas en $28,000.
Este anexo duplica el contrato original a $205,000 para ayudar a SRCS a identificar y solicitar fondos de modernización del estado.

Dadas las mejoras al sitio web de College Board, ¿por qué se extiende este contrato?
Contratos Se agradece que haya divisores en esta carga, lo que facilita la búsqueda de contratos particulares dentro del pdf.
En cada sitio, un juego de baños de HS fue remodelado el año pasado por alrededor de $250,000. Este conjunto de contratos incluye diseños para baños de acceso total que se espera que cuesten más de un millón de dólares por sitio. ¿Se puede confirmar que los baños de acceso total son baños separados y no implicarán destripar estos baños recientemente remodelados?
Hay contratos de diseño hasta servicios arquitectónicos de liquidación para dos sitios por un total de $394,000 y esquemas para ocho sitios por $251,800. Parece que habrá contratos de diseño hasta cierre para estos ocho sitios en el futuro. El costo total de los diez baños se estima en $16,35 millones.
G.7. Aprobación del Acuerdo de Mercado de Oliver
La Mesa Directa considerará la aprobación de un Memorando de Entendimiento con Oliver’s Market para oportunidades laborales competitivas e integradas con el Programa de Transición 18-22 de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa para apoyar la capacitación de habilidades vocacionales para estudiantes con discapacidades.
Se declara que SRCS asumirá todos los costos asociados con este acuerdo. SRCS pagará hasta seis estudiantes el salario mínimo por hasta cinco horas por día durante un máximo de cinco días por semana. Olivers Market, Montecito Center reembolsará un máximo de $46,642.50 para cubrir el salario mínimo de estos estudiantes.
SRTA celebra esta capacitación vocacional para nuestros estudiantes, al tiempo que garantiza que los empleados no serán desplazados por este programa.
G.8. Aprobación de Más allá de la Equidad en la Educación
Este contrato es con el Dr. Bay Jones para el trabajo de facilitación con la Mesa Directa en torno a las Prioridades Estratégicas.
SRTA entiende que la misión y la visión son generales. SRCS se beneficiaría de prioridades más enfocadas con métricas claras, quizás con una duración más corta, para guiar el trabajo del distrito de una manera menos ambigua.
G.9. Enfoque integrado de Matemáticas 1P con fundamentos de Matemáticas 2P
Este curso de dos años cubrirá todos los estándares de Matemáticas 1 y se unirá a los estándares de Matemáticas 2 al final del segundo año. Los títulos para los dos años serán: Año 1: Enfoque integrado en Matemáticas 1P, Año 2: Enfoque integrado en Matemáticas 1P+ con Fundamentos de Matemáticas 2.
La intención es que este curso cumpla con 2 años de los requisitos de graduación de matemáticas de SRCS: Matemáticas 1 y 1 año más allá de Matemáticas 1.
G.10. Modelado integrado de matemáticas 2P en nuestro mundo (MOW)
Las admisiones a la UC para estudiantes actuales de segundo año requieren Matemáticas 1 a Matemáticas 3 con calificaciones de C o mejores. SRCS apoya a los estudiantes que avanzan en matemáticas si tienen crédito de Matemáticas 1 (siempre que no reprueben). Este curso brinda a los estudiantes con una base más débil una mejor oportunidad de aprobar Matemáticas 2 que el curso tradicional. Está destinado a estudiantes que se articulan con un curso alternativo de Matemáticas 3, como Álgebra con aplicaciones financieras, Razonamiento estadístico en deportes o Estadística para la justicia social. Este curso no está destinado a estudiantes que deseen completar Matemáticas 3.
SRTA alienta la aprobación de este curso. La implementación requerirá más trabajo para crear lecciones específicas. El equipo de redacción de la propuesta del curso solicitó financiación continua para suministros que permitieran que el curso fuera más práctico.
G.11. Aprobación de la propuesta del curso de Estudios Étnicos de la SGI
Este nuevo curso está diseñado para brindarles a los estudiantes la oportunidad de cumplir con un requisito de Estudios Étnicos y un requisito de ELA en el mismo año académico con instrucción en grupos pequeños.
SRTA espera que podamos contratar a la persona adecuada para liderar a SRCS hacia adelante.
G.14 a G.21
Se espera que la pintura de todos los sitios lleve de dos a tres años. Estos ocho sitios se pintarán este verano por $2,982 millones de dólares. No se especifica cómo se eligieron estos sitios.
G.14. Aprobación del contrato de Pacific Contractors Group para el proyecto de pintura exterior de SRHS
Se incluye la retirada de árboles. La reparación de yeso será adicional.
G.22. Aprobación de los miembros de liderazgo de Piner High School para viajar a Seattle, WA
Se solicita a la Mesa Directiva que apruebe el formulario de solicitud de excursión para que cuatro estudiantes de Piner High School y un asesor (maestro culinario) participen en la Conferencia Nacional de Liderazgo 2024 en Seattle, Washington, del 28 de junio al 3 de julio de 2024 para Ciencias de la Familia y el Consumidor. profesionales y estudiantes de todo el país.
Costo $9,621 que será cubierto por la subvención del CTEIG.
G.23. Aprobación del Boys and Girls Club de Sonoma-Marin para programas de aprendizaje ampliados
La Mesa Directa considerará la aprobación de un contrato para ofrecer programas de aprendizaje ampliados después de la escuela a aproximadamente 1,661 estudiantes en 12 sitios (9 de primaria, 2 de K-8 y 1 de secundaria) para el año escolar de instrucción 2024-2025. Los sitios participantes incluyen: Biella, Brook Hill, Luther Burbank, Helen Lehman, Lincoln, James Monroe, Steele Lane, Proctor Terrace, Hidden Valley, CCLA, Arts Charter y Comstock.
Los servicios adicionales incluidos en el costo total del contrato incluyen 2 semanas de programación para 350 estudiantes (1 semana durante las vacaciones de invierno y 1 semana durante las vacaciones de primavera) y 4 semanas de actividades durante el verano de 2025 para 1150 estudiantes.
Se prevé que el costo total será de $4,961,113, pero las cifras de inscripción potencial muestran $5,088,256.
SRCS tiene un presupuesto limitado. SRCS tiene mano de obra limitada. Es hora de perfeccionar nuestro enfoque y energías para establecer sistemas para implementar acciones esenciales identificadas para el distrito.
“¿Cómo puedo crear tiempo para las cosas más importantes en lugar de intentar hacer tantas cosas como sea posible?”
J1. Temas de discusión futuros de la Mesa Directa directiva
Se anima a los miembros de SRTA a prepararse para los próximos puntos de la agenda.
Audiencias públicas del LCAP (6/12/24))
Audiencia pública sobre el presupuesto distrital 2024/2025 (6/12/24)
SRTA espera la programación futura de los siguientes elementos:
Cerrando oficialmente la Casa de Aprendizaje
Prueba MAP (solicitud de la Mesa Directa 8/23/23)
En una reunión, el hecho de que un cierto porcentaje de profesores de matemáticas e inglés hubieran dado este examen el año pasado fue presentado por SRCS como evidencia de que el examen es bueno, y los maestros apoyaron su realización. Esto no es lógico ni exacto. Se han descartado las preocupaciones legítimas que los profesores han compartido sobre esta evaluación. La reunión que los profesores mantuvieron con un representante del distrito el año pasado sobre posibilidades de evaluación alternativas parece no haber tenido ningún efecto.
Los datos longitudinales del CAASPP han identificado claramente preocupaciones sobre el desempeño de los estudiantes. Se podrían invertir mejor los esfuerzos actuales en abordar esas preocupaciones académicas, en lugar de recopilar más datos. Esto es especialmente frustrante cuando la evaluación MAP no se considera útil para los estudiantes o los profesores.
Gracias a los directores Medina y De La Cruz por solicitar más información sobre esta evaluación. Los miembros de SRTA esperan con interés este punto de la agenda.
Solicitud de revisión acelerada del material del estatuto de SRACS (retrasada)
Decisión de unificación/redistribución de distritos
Plan para el programa de apoyo a la vivienda del personal con los ingresos de Fir Ridge
Hasta que el distrito tome una decisión, los ingresos de la venta se quedan quietos y pierden valor a medida que el coste de la vivienda sigue aumentando. Iniciar un programa podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener personal. El potencial de los fondos disminuye con el paso del tiempo.

J.5. Acuerdo de asociación de vías de acceso a la universidad y la carrera (CCAP)
El Acuerdo de Asociación CCAP permitiría a los estudiantes de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa inscribirse en cursos de Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) ofrecidos en el campus de una escuela secundaria durante el horario escolar. Es importante enfatizar que los acuerdos CCAP no reducen los equivalentes de tiempo completo de los distritos escolares públicos y, por lo tanto, no afectan la asignación de secciones del sitio escolar. Esto significa explícitamente que los acuerdos CCAP protegen el empleo en educación K-12 y garantizan la protección de los FTE. Los estudiantes que aprueben con éxito un curso de inscripción dual obtendrán créditos tanto para la escuela secundaria como para la universidad. Los cursos SRJC están ponderados y tienen un GPA positivo para los estudiantes que aprueban los cursos con éxito.
La subvención para el acceso a la universidad y la carrera cubrirá los materiales educativos y los costos del plan de estudios asociados con los cursos CCAP ofrecidos a través de este acuerdo.
This Complaint is filed on behalf of children who suffered personal injuries—and, in cases of death, the personal representatives of their estates (“Plaintiffs”)—due to their use of Defendants’ products and, where applicable, their parents, guardians, spouses, children, siblings, and close family members, who suffered loss of society or consortium and other injuries as a consequence of the harms to Plaintiffs (Meta, Snap, Byte Dance, TicTok and Google.)
The resulting ubiquity of Defendants’ products in the lives and palms of our kids, and the ensuing harm to them, is hard to overstate. Today, over a third of 13- to 17-year-old kids report using one of Defendants’ apps “almost constantly” and admit this is “too much.” Yet more than half of these kids report that they would struggle to cut back on their social media use. Instead of feeding coins into machines, kids are feeding Defendants’ platforms with an endless supply of attention, time, and data.

D.6. DELAC Report
E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items
SRTA members are invited to complete ‘blue cards.’ Online comments have been suspended. Please be prepared to observe the three minute time limit or the imposition of a possible two or even one minute limit. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time.
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.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
Members are encouraged to share personal understandings of how these pillars are essential to improving the student experience with SRCS. There is appreciation that the last round of negotiations was productive. SRTA members expect to end this school year with a ratified new contract. This requires prompt resolution to remaining outstanding items.
SRTA is celebrating agreements with SRCS on Article 8 (School Safety) as well as Articles 6, 9, and 11 and a conceptual agreement on student caps. We are hopeful that a Tentative Agreement can be reached this week so a new contract can be ratified before we go into summer break.
SRTA’s 4 Pillars:
Safe Schools for All
Mental Health Support
Prevent Violence
Relevant and Engaging Schools
F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
There is a clear system for honoring special days and months with resolutions. There is no system for encouraging action to back up these resolutions. Only a fraction of stakeholders tune into board meetings, and their hearing a resolution has little impact.
SRCS has a limited budget. SRCS has limited manpower. It is time to hone our focus and energies to establish systems for implementing identified essential actions for the district.
“How can I create time for the most important things instead of trying to do as many things as possible?”
Please take a moment to thank your school nurse for all they do! Next year we are starting SCOE take backs of medically fragile students. Our nurses wonder how this will be supported with only 1 district LVN and even utilizing staffing agencies is not enough to meet our current nursing needs. The district has no plans to add additional nurses to support these new students. Nurses also want staff serving these students CPR trained.
F.2. (Action) Resolution Recognizing May as the Month of Better Hearing and Speech
Thank you to our SLPs for the work you do with our students. We are currently short staffed with regard to SLPs and have had to move to using telehealth online speech services with an outside vendor through a zoom like model at many of our sites.
F.3. (Action) Resolution for Mental Health Awareness Month
Panorama Data has been shared with staff. What are the expectations for reviewing and using this data and the resources available on this platform? Without a clear vision and an implementation plan supported with time and training, these efforts reap far less impact than they could.
F.4. (Discussion) Safe Routes to Schools Program Update
Elementary programs: 2nd Grade Pedestrian Safety, 4th Grade Bike Basics, 5th Grade Mapping & Communication and Bike Rodeos.
This program relies on a volunteer Champion Teacher at each site. This is not a sustainable model for running a program. If this program is worth having, it is worth supporting in a sustainable way with paid staffing.
F.5. (Discussion/Action) Parcel Tax Next Steps
Parcel taxes may be structured as a flat rate per parcel or on a square footage basis. There are exemptions available for certain populations and a maximum assessment can be set when square footage is used as the basis.
Parcel taxes must pass by a 2/3 vote. Additionally, the funds may not be used for administrator salaries, and an oversight committee is required, similar to general obligation bonds.
If the Board wishes to move forward with a potential parcel tax measure, additional polling would be recommended. Additionally, a resolution would need to be presented for consideration in June 2024 in order to meet election timelines.
A neighboring district recently passed a bond measure for which the priorities were clearly specified prior to the vote. How much of the parcel tax could be guaranteed to raise salaries to attract and retain the highly qualified staff our students deserve? It is much more difficult to support a Parcel Tax when all the details are left to be worked out later, when historically the decisions for bond spending are made lacking transparency.
If a set percentage of the parcel tax would go to equitably raising CSEA 75 wages/benefits, and a set percentage would go to equitably raising SRTA wages/benefits, etc. it would be easier to garner significant support for these efforts.
F.6. (Action) Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators
This declaration must be approved at a regularly scheduled public meeting before Limited Term Assignments and Emergency Permits are issued to certificated staff for the 2024-2025 school year.
Elementary 35 positions (10 Multiple Subject, 10 Single Subject, and 15 SpEd teachers.)
High 42 positions (5 Multiple Subject, 17 Single Subject, and 20 SpEd teachers.)
This is very confusing. The next item is for the layoff of 17 certificated teachers, while this item says we are in such high need of teachers we expect to hire non-fully qualified staff to meet the demand.
F.7. (Action) Final Recommendation for Reduction or Discontinuance of Certain Particular Kinds of Services for the 2024-25 School Year
Prior approved recommendations to reduce or discontinue current, certain particular kinds of services for the 2024-25 school year included:
Elementary
19.2 FTE Classroom Teachers
13 TOSAs
Secondary
10 FTE Middle School Classroom Teachers
22.15 High School Teachers
Other
14.3 Administrators
These positions were eliminated by board action to ‘right size’ our district.
This item states following the guidelines of the approved prior resolutions we have determined that at this point in time, 17.0 FTE classroom teachers and 8.3 FTE administrative positions are the final numbers recommended for reduction or discontinuance. The resolution includes names of people being released. The 8.3 FTE Admin is actually 6 FTE (see below.)
This item is listed as Particular Kinds of Services, but the resolution is for particular employees, not positions. There were nearly 79 positions that were eliminated by board action in February and March. Which of those positions are actually eliminated?
SRCS sent RIF notifications to 71 certificated employees. To date the district has rescinded all but the above 17 of these. This over notification of 54 SRTA members caused a great deal of unnecessary chaos, extreme stress, and hard feelings.
The district signed a settlement providing released SRTA members with 3 months of medical benefits for which we are grateful.
Several of those notified rightly went and found jobs in other districts. Some of these have yet to notify SRCS of their resignations. This loss was preventable.
Those people who received RIF notices (that were not rescinded) are the first on the list to be rehired should an opening occur. This placement is done in order of seniority, offering positions that folks are credentialed for.
SRTA feels the pain of our members impacted by this, and the pain of their students at their loss at our sites.
F.8. (Action) Resolution No. 2023-24-68 Reduction in Classified Work Force Involving California School Employees (CSEA) Chapter 75 for the 2024-24 School Year
This is for the elimination of 3.2 Classified FTE. Included in this list is the Child Care Supervisor Position.
SRCS provides childcare through the Boys and Girls club, supported by federal funding. SRCS also has run a fee for service childcare program. Childcare remains a crucial issue for Santa Rosa, per the Metro Chamber of Commerce. SRCS is uniquely situated to help provide necessary high quality childcare to families in our community. Recently the SRCS program has run at a deficit because they have undercharged for this service, failing to adjust their fees to cover rising costs. It is prudent to adjust the fees for this program. Does eliminating the Supervisor indicate eliminating the pay for service childcare program, putting a further burden on our community?
EdJoin shows a total of 107 current postings for 168 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 25 certificated openings (two more than the last meeting.) There are three certificated management openings (the same as the last meeting.) There are 107 current classified postings, and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.) Fifty-one of these positions are for assistants and paraprofessionals.
There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.
SRTA bids farewell to two folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Brenda Johnson (RVMS), Margaret Scherfee (ALES), Rocio Miscio (EDSERV) leave us with a combined seventeen years of service. Thank you for all you did for our students. Know you will be missed.
Administrative movement includes Daryl Coryell appointed as Interim Principal of RVMS as of the end of April. Resignations include Timothy Zalunardo Executive Director of Educational Services who leaves us for SCOE, Superintendent Anna Trunnell who leaves us to be the new Superintendent of Galt Joint Union High School District, and
Principal of Brook Hill Indy Monday who is moving to another district. They take thirty-six and a half years of institutional knowledge with them. SRCS Thanks them for their service, and wishes them well with their new endeavors.
There is one supervisory resignation for a School Based Therapist.
This month’s changes to classified staff include two terminations, two releases, one new hire, eight resignations, and one retirement. A combined nearly 36 years of service and institutional knowledge leaves us with these changes. Thank you for your service.

Public Hearing on 2024/2025 District Budget (6/12/24)
SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:
Officially Closing Learning House
MAP Testing (Board request 8/23/23)
At one meeting, the fact that a certain percentage of math and English teachers had given this test last year was presented by SRCS as evidence that the test is good, and teachers supported giving it. This is not logical nor accurate. The legitimate concerns teachers have shared about this assessment have been dismissed. The meeting teachers had with a district representative last year about alternative assessment possibilities appears to have been to no effect.
The longitudinal CAASPP data has clearly identified concerns about student performance. Current efforts could be better spent addressing those academic concerns, instead of collecting more data. This is especially frustrating when the MAP assessment isn’t seen as helpful for students or teachers.
Thank you to Directors Medina and De La Cruz for requesting more information on this assessment. SRTA members look forward to this agenda item.
SRACS Accelerated Charter Material Revision Request (delayed)
Unification/Redistricting Decision
Plan for Staff Housing support program from the proceeds of Fir Ridge
Until the district makes a decision, the proceeds from the sale are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a program started could help SRCS attract and retain staff. The potential of the funds diminishes as time passes.

BEST Plus Update
Many staff members have not been trained, and are not aware of what this looks like in practice.
When will we get a complete timeline and list of sites that will receive fencing? Will the entire campus be fenced in or only sides adjacent to public parks?
