F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. (Action) Resolution Recognizing February 3-7, 2025: Week of School Counselor

In the past several years SRCS has extended student counseling services to elementary school. We currently have amazing school counselors for all ages of students.
Resolution
SRTA is grateful to our counselor members for all they do to support students and staff. Please extend your appreciation to the school counselors you know!

F.2. Action) Resolution Recognizing February as Career Technical Education Month

CTE Month serves to recognize the importance of CTE programs in every student’s education and builds awareness among policymakers, business leaders, and the public of the high-quality educational experiences available in CTE programs. CTE Month also recognizes the ongoing leadership and excellence of classrooms across the country and raises awareness of the crucial role that CTE has in readying our nation for economic success and workforce competitiveness.

SRTA appreciates all of our CTE teachers and the efforts they make to impart soft skills to our students while teaching other job related skills.

The California Dashboard recognizes students as career ready if they complete a CTE pathway (3 courses in succession) and pass one SBAC exam. California Cradle-to-Career Data System is currently being built. In the mean time, College/Career Report 2024 has the following information:

CCI Level	All Students	English Learners	Long-Term English Learners	Students with Disabilities
Percentage Prepared	29.50%	2.90%	3.20%	2.90%
Percentage Approaching Prepared	14.00%	6.70%	6.90%	6.30%
Percentage Not Prepared	56.50%	90.40%	89.90%	90.80%

SRTA members invite the board to consider creating a CTE pathway for graduation that does not require A-G requirements. For many students that would benefit from CTE courses, they are limited in their ability to enroll because they are struggling to repeat A-G courses to gain required units to graduate. UC/CSU admission requires C’s or better in all A-G courses. SRCS requires students to ‘pass’ courses, meaning a D qualifies for meeting the graduation requirement. This disparity creates a particular difficulty for students, especially in course pathways that build upon each other, like world languages and math. Students with additional English support classes also find it nearly impossible to complete a CTE pathway (3 courses.)

F.3. (Action) Resolution Recognizing February as African-American History Month

TK-12 classrooms across the District will open with daily facts and are creating visual learning spaces celebrating African American contributions and achievements. Lessons, documentaries, and films about the contributions of African Americans will be presented in various classes across SRCS.

The movement toward making these resolutions have an action component. While it is hoped that some classrooms will celebrate African-American History Month, there is not a system in place to provide daily facts and are creating visual learning spaces in all classrooms. Efforts such as these must be created within a structure that identifies first priorities first, and builds from there. The board’s mission and vision work could guide the setting of district priorities that could impact these practices.

F.4. (Discussion) Working Group – School Resource Officer (SRO) MOU and Guidance to the 3×3 Committee

The Board will review and discuss the current drafts of the School Resource Officer (SRO) MOU and provide guidance for the 3×3 Board Subcommittee to continue their work with the City’s 3×3 members to finalize the MOU.

Reconvening the 3×3 Board subcommittee is crucial to address ongoing safety concerns and foster a collaborative approach between the school, law enforcement, and the community. By reconvening this 3×3 Board subcommittee, we will be able to finalize this updated MOU. It will provide us with the means by which to seek funding for the program.

Comparison in SRO MOUS by Omar Medina, Working Group MOU was created by members from a cross-section of SRCS, SRPD, SCOE, NAACP, Non-profits, and parents.

MOU with Suggestions by members of 3×3 compiled by Omar Medina.

Working Group MOU final

SRTA supports SROs, with improvements from the last iteration of this model.

F.5. (Action) Resolution No. 2024/25-37 and 38 Early Tell Incentive for Classified Employees

This resolution provides an incentive for the classified staff to inform the district of their intention to resign or retire at the end of the 2024/2025 school year.

The exact cost will be dependent upon the number of staff who take advantage of the early tell incentive. The cost is also expected to be offset by a savings in resources that would otherwise be used through the administrative hearing process.

SRTA notices that the bonus is the same for both classified and certificated bargaining units. This equity is appreciated. Could the same approach be used to the $4,750 raise per cell?

F.6. (Action) Resolution No. 2024/25-38 Early Tell Incentive for Certificated Employees

This resolution provides an incentive for the certificated staff to inform the district of their intention to resign or retire at the end of the 2024/2025 school year.

SRTA appreciates the follow through on the idea of an incentive. SRTA expects this reward to be extended to those that have kindly already noticed the district. The low level of bonus is not expected to have much impact on member notifications.

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 87 current postings for 154 jobs in SRCS. There are seventeen certificated opening postings for twenty-one positions (one more than last meeting.) There are sixty-eight current classified postings for one hundred fifty-four job openings (one more than last meeting). There are two certificated and no classified management positions open.

SRTA thanks the seven additional teachers who are stepping up to take on 0.2 more FTE to help out their sites. This additional time is now paid at the per diem rate, which is far better than the old practice of underpaying. However the extra effort it takes to eliminate prep time from one’s regular schedule can only be fully appreciated by those that have done it.

SRTA welcomes Glenda Susana Lowery to CCLA and Carlos Alvarenga to EAHS.

SRTA bids a fond farewell to James Sanders and Jacquelyn Crow who are retiring from SRMS at the end of the year after a combined fifty-three years of service. (Thank you for your timely notification.)

Changes to classified staff include two new hires, one resignation and two retirements. They leave taking with them thirty-five years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.

Changes to administration include a swap. SRTA welcomes Mercedes Thompson as VP at MHS and Tyler Ahlborn as AP at HSMS. Monica Fong is the interim Principal of SRHS.

Summer Programs ADMIN 2025 – DRAFT This has tentative info on 6 summer program times, dates and locations.

G.6. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-23 for the District Wide Electronic Access Control Alternate Design-Build Contract

Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) has been selected to participate in Cohort II of the California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) Fee Schedule program. This initiative enables Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to receive sustainable funding for behavioral health services provided to students in school settings. Our current system infrastructure is inadequate to meet the needs of documentation and reporting for the Fee Schedule program. We propose to contract with Tad Health, Inc. to provide access to their Electronic Health Record and Billing System. They charge 10% of fees collected.

G.7. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-23 for the District Wide Electronic Access Control Alternate Design-Build Contract

The electronic lock systems will enable the District to provide new ID/keycards to all employees at a reduced cost compared to traditional keys. If a card is lost or misplaced, it can easily be deactivated, ensuring our sites remain secure. Additionally, a necessary feature is the management of facility use. Instead of giving keys to outside vendors or teams, we can incorporate a scheduling system that automatically locks and unlocks specific doors at designated times. This will also enhance awareness of who is accessing the facilities after hours.

The District continues to face issues with facility misuse, which incurs costs for repairs, custodial cleaning, and utility expenses, often due to the absence of proper facilities-use forms and fee payments. The new access system design can integrate with our current camera, phone, and lockdown systems to enhance safety measures at school sites. With this system, our existing lockdown protocols will enable a single button to lock all doors throughout each campus. The design will include automatic door holders for hallway doors that will close automatically if a lockdown is activated.

Measure C: $60,800

Measure G: $19,200

Total: $80,000

Design Build Resolution

SRCS provided SRTA further details about this plan. There was not a consultation.

G.8. Approval of Critical Mention Agreement

This is for media monitoring and media contact database software. It provides a suite of tools designed to help users manage their earned media effectively. This includes Media Monitoring, Media Contact Database, Custom Reports, Sentiment Analysis, API Access, and access to Licensed Content. Tracks mentions across TV, radio, online news, podcasts, and social media in real-time. It provides instant alerts and in-depth analytics to help users stay updated on their coverage.

$5,800 annually.

Proposal

Is this part of a strategic communication plan? The results of the communication audit have not been shared with the public. Is monitoring media the top priority for moving SRCS communications forward?

G.9. Approval of Proposed Increase of Minimum Wage

The Board will consider approval of the proposed increase of minimum wage from $16 to the state mandated $16.50 per hour for:

Accompanist
After School Athletic Program, Elementary
Auditorium Supervisor
Ticket Taker/Timekeeper/Scorekeeper
Student Workers
And, the revision of the Extra Duty Hourly/Miscellaneous Salary Schedule for 2024-2025 to reflect this increase ordered by the California Legislature.

Projected cost: $3,000.

Updated Salary Schedule

This falls short of the Santa Rosa City minimum wage of $17.87.

G.10. Approval of Developer Fees Annual Report

In addition to this annual report, financial reporting on the collection and expenditure of developer fees regularly occurs as part of other required reports, such as the budget, the interim reports, and the annual audit report.

The majority of funds are used for JPA transportation facility lease, portables and furniture.

SARC SLES SARC SRMS SARC SRHS

G.11. Approval of the Annual School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs)

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. These reports are utilized by families choosing schools for their children.

SARC FACS SARC SRCAS SARC SRACS

SARC RVMS SARC RHS SARC PTES

SARC LBES SARC JMES SARC HCMS

SARC HVES SARC HSMS SARC HLES

SARC EAHS SARC CCLA SARC BHES

SARC ABES SARC ALES

SRTA members appreciate the new inclusive format of these reports. Members are encouraged to review the SARC for their site.

G.12. Approval of an Occupational Therapy Services Contract with Kimberly Imsdahl

This position is funded through the SELPA Early Start grant, as SRCS is operating the program on behalf of the county to provide services to infant DHH children.

Cost $123.93 per hour not to exceed $34,000.

December 11, 2024 Minutes and Supporting Documents

G.13. Approval of Revised CSEA Salary Schedule for CalPERS Compliance

SRCS underwent a School Employer Pay Schedules and Pay rates Review by the CalPERS Office of Audit Services in the 2023/2024 school year. The language around the service recognition years needed to be adjusted to further support the CSEA CalPERS members. Pay schedules and pay rates that are not in compliance may result in miscalculation of employer contributions, delays in processing member retirement benefits, inaccurate retirement estimates, in correct payment of benefits, and reduction in benefits, and increased administrative costs for employers for processing required corrections to all impacted employee accounts for the period the misreported occurred.

Redine Revision

G.14. Approval of the Santa Rosa City Schools 2025-2026 Instructional Calendar

The draft 2025-2026 Instructional calendar is pending ratification by the Classified School Employee Association and the Santa Rosa Teachers Association membership.

J.1. Future Board Discussion Items (not included in this agenda)

SRTA members are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming agenda items.

Governor’s Proposed Budget
CTE Update
- Can this be incorporated into the CTE Tech Ed Resolution in future years? Can this item please include both historical and current enrollment numbers and budgets?

Updated Governance Handbook
LCAP Midyear Report
24/25 Governor’s Budget Proposal
Resolution for Reduction or Discontinuance of Certain Particular Kinds of Service (PKS)
Deferred Maintenance Update

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

Alternative Education Update (December 2024)
- There is a strong need for Alternative placements for secondary students who need more services than our comprehensive schools are able to provide. How can SRCS meet the needs of these students during these tough financial times?
Open Enrollment & Intradistrict Transfers Update (December 2024)
- SRCS students are applying to other schools outside our district in case their school is closed. How will SRCS expedite the enrollment and transfer process to retain as many students as possible?
Superintendent Morales’ Listening and Learning Tour Update (November 2024)
- SRTA members would like to understand the expected impact from momentary drop ins, and how this use of time and resources is evaluated.
Approval of Instructional and Classified Calendars (November 2024)
Public Hearing and Approval of Teamsters Union 665 “Sunshine” Proposal (delayed from Oct 2024)
First Draft of the District Safety Plan (delayed from September 2024)

Renaming of Sites Update/Decision
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.

Student Voice Policy
BEST Plus Update
- Does SRCS still self identify as a BEST Plus district?

Comité Asesor de Consolidación Escolar Página web

No se proporcionan detalles para este informe. Se han aceptado comentarios públicos sobre este artículo.

F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN

F.1. (Acción) Resolución que reconoce del 3 al 7 de febrero de 2025: Semana del Consejero Escolar

En los últimos años, SRCS ha ampliado los servicios de asesoramiento estudiantil a la escuela primaria. Actualmente contamos con increíbles consejeros escolares para estudiantes de todas las edades.
Resolución

SRTA agradece a nuestros miembros consejeros por todo lo que hacen para apoyar a los estudiantes y al personal. ¡Extienda su agradecimiento a los consejeros escolares que conoce!

F.2. Acción) Resolución que reconoce febrero como el Mes de la Educación de Carrera Técnica

El Mes de CTE sirve para reconocer la importancia de los programas CTE en la educación de cada estudiante y crea conciencia entre los formuladores de políticas, los líderes empresariales y el público sobre las experiencias educativas de alta calidad disponibles en los programas CTE. El Mes de CTE también reconoce el liderazgo continuo y la excelencia de las aulas en todo el país y crea conciencia sobre el papel crucial que tiene CTE en la preparación de nuestra nación para el éxito económico y la competitividad de la fuerza laboral.

SRTA aprecia a todos nuestros maestros de CTE y los esfuerzos que hacen para impartir habilidades sociales a nuestros estudiantes mientras enseñan otras habilidades relacionadas con el trabajo.

El Panel de control de California reconoce a los estudiantes como listos para la carrera si completan una vía CTE (3 cursos consecutivos) y aprueban un examen SBAC. Sistema de datos de la cuna a la carrera de California Actualmente se está construyendo. Mientras tanto, Informe universitario/profesional 2024 tiene la siguiente información:

Nivel CCI	Todos los estudiantes	Estudiantes de inglés	Estudiantes de inglés a largo plazo	Estudiantes con discapacidades
Porcentaje preparado	29.50%	2.90%	3.20%	2.90%
Porcentaje que se acerca a estar preparado	14.00%	6.70%	6.90%	6.30%
Porcentaje no preparado	56.50%	90.40%	89.90%	90.80%

Los miembros de SRTA invitan a la junta a considerar la creación de un camino CTE para la graduación que no requiera requisitos A-G. Para muchos estudiantes que se beneficiarían de los cursos CTE, su capacidad de inscribirse está limitada porque tienen dificultades para repetir los cursos A-G para obtener las unidades requeridas para graduarse. La admisión a UC/CSU requiere C o mejor en todos los cursos A-G. SRCS requiere que los estudiantes “aprueben” cursos, lo que significa que una D califica para cumplir con el requisito de graduación. Esta disparidad crea una dificultad particular para los estudiantes, especialmente en cursos que se complementan entre sí, como idiomas mundiales y matemáticas. A los estudiantes con clases adicionales de apoyo en inglés también les resulta casi imposible completar una vía CTE (3 cursos).

F.3. (Acción) Resolución que reconoce febrero como el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana

Las aulas de TK-12 en todo el Distrito abrirán con datos diarios y están creando espacios de aprendizaje visual que celebran las contribuciones y los logros de los afroamericanos. Se presentarán lecciones, documentales y películas sobre las contribuciones de los afroamericanos en varias clases de SRCS.

El movimiento para que estas resoluciones tengan un componente de acción. Si bien se espera que algunas aulas celebren el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana, no existe un sistema para proporcionar datos diarios y se están creando espacios de aprendizaje visual en todas las aulas. Esfuerzos como estos deben crearse dentro de una estructura que identifique primero las primeras prioridades y construya a partir de ahí. El trabajo de misión y visión de la junta podría guiar el establecimiento de prioridades distritales que podrían impactar estas prácticas.

F.4. (Discusión) Grupo de trabajo: MOU del oficial de recursos escolares (SRO) y orientación para el Comité 3×3

La Junta revisará y discutirá los borradores actuales del MOU del Oficial de Recursos Escolares (SRO) y brindará orientación para que el Subcomité de la Junta 3×3 continúe su trabajo con los miembros de 3×3 de la Ciudad para finalizar el MOU.

Volver a convocar el subcomité de la Junta 3×3 es crucial para abordar las preocupaciones de seguridad actuales y fomentar un enfoque colaborativo entre la escuela, las autoridades y la comunidad. Al volver a convocar este subcomité de la Junta 3×3, podremos finalizar este MOU actualizado. Nos proporcionará los medios para buscar financiación para el programa.

Comparación en SRO MOUS por Omar Medina, el Grupo de Trabajo MOU fue creado por miembros de una muestra representativa de SRCS, SRPD, SCOE, NAACP, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y padres.

MOU con sugerencias por integrantes del 3×3 compilado por Omar Medina.

MdE del grupo de trabajo final

SRTA apoya las SRO, con mejoras respecto a la última iteración de este modelo.

F.5. (Acción) Resolución N° 2024/25-37 y 38 Incentivo de notificación anticipada para empleados clasificados

Esta resolución proporciona un incentivo para que el personal clasificado informe al distrito de su intención de renunciar o jubilarse al final del año escolar 2024/2025.

El costo exacto dependerá de la cantidad de personal que aproveche el incentivo de información temprana. También se espera que el costo se vea compensado por ahorros en recursos que de otro modo se utilizarían a través del proceso de audiencia administrativa.

SRTA observa que la bonificación es la misma para las unidades de negociación clasificadas y certificadas. Esta equidad se agradece. ¿Se podría utilizar el mismo enfoque para el aumento de 4,750 dólares por celda?

F.6. (Acción) Resolución No. 2024/25-38 Incentivo de notificación anticipada para empleados certificados

Esta resolución proporciona un incentivo para que el personal certificado informe al distrito de su intención de renunciar o jubilarse al final del año escolar 2024/2025.

SRTA aprecia el seguimiento de la idea de un incentivo. SRTA espera que esta recompensa se extienda a aquellos que amablemente ya se han dado cuenta del distrito. No se espera que el bajo nivel de bonificación tenga mucho impacto en las notificaciones de los miembros.

G.2. Aprobación de Transacciones de Personal

EdÚnete muestra un total de 87 publicaciones actuales para 154 puestos de trabajo en SRCS. Hay diecisiete puestos vacantes certificados para veintiún puestos (uno más que la última reunión). Hay sesenta y ocho puestos clasificados actuales para ciento cincuenta y cuatro puestos vacantes (uno más que la última reunión). Hay dos puestos directivos certificados y no clasificados abiertos.

SRTA agradece a los siete maestros adicionales que están dando un paso adelante para contratar 0.2 FTE más para ayudar a sus sitios. Este tiempo adicional ahora se paga según la tarifa diaria, que es mucho mejor que la antigua práctica de pagar menos. Sin embargo, el esfuerzo adicional que requiere eliminar el tiempo de preparación del horario habitual sólo puede ser plenamente apreciado por aquellos que lo han hecho.

SRTA le da la bienvenida a Glenda Susana Lowery a CCLA y a Carlos Alvarenga a EAHS.

SRTA se despide con cariño de James Sanders y Jacquelyn Crow, quienes se jubilarán de SRMS a finales de año después de cincuenta y tres años combinados de servicio. (Gracias por su notificación oportuna).

Los cambios en el personal clasificado incluyen dos nuevas contrataciones, una renuncia y dos jubilaciones. Se van llevándose consigo treinta y cinco años de conocimiento y servicio a nuestro personal y estudiantes.

Los cambios en la administración incluyen un canje. SRTA le da la bienvenida a Mercedes Thompson como vicepresidenta de MHS y a Tyler Ahlborn como AP de HSMS. Monica Fong es la directora interina de SRHS.

G.6. Aprobación de la Resolución 2024/25-23 para el Contrato Alternativo de Diseño-Construcción de Control de Acceso Electrónico a Nivel Distrital

Las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa (SRCS) han sido seleccionadas para participar en la Cohorte II del programa de tarifas de la Iniciativa de Salud Conductual Juvenil de California (CYBHI). Esta iniciativa permite a las Agencias de Educación Local (LEA) recibir financiación sostenible para servicios de salud conductual proporcionados a los estudiantes en entornos escolares. La infraestructura de nuestro sistema actual es inadecuada para satisfacer las necesidades de documentación e informes del programa Lista de tarifas. Proponemos contratar a Tad Health, Inc. para brindar acceso a su sistema de facturación y registros médicos electrónicos. Cobran el 10% de los honorarios cobrados.

G.7. Aprobación de la Resolución 2024/25-23 para el Contrato Alternativo de Diseño-Construcción de Control de Acceso Electrónico a Nivel Distrital

Los sistemas de cerradura electrónica permitirán al Distrito proporcionar nuevas tarjetas de identificación/llave a todos los empleados a un costo reducido en comparación con las llaves tradicionales. Si una tarjeta se pierde o se extravía, se puede desactivar fácilmente, lo que garantiza que nuestros sitios permanezcan seguros. Además, una característica necesaria es la gestión del uso de las instalaciones. En lugar de dar llaves a proveedores o equipos externos, podemos incorporar un sistema de programación que bloquee y abra automáticamente puertas específicas en momentos designados. Esto también mejorará el conocimiento de quién accede a las instalaciones fuera del horario de atención.

El Distrito sigue teniendo problemas con el uso indebido de las instalaciones, que genera gastos de reparación, limpieza y servicios públicos, a menudo debido a la falta de formularios adecuados de uso de las instalaciones y pagos de tasas. El nuevo diseño del sistema de acceso puede integrarse con nuestros sistemas actuales de cámaras, teléfono y bloqueo para mejorar las medidas de seguridad en los centros escolares. Con este sistema, nuestros protocolos de bloqueo actuales permitirán que un solo botón bloquee todas las puertas de cada campus. El diseño incluirá soportes automáticos para las puertas de los pasillos que se cerrarán automáticamente si se activa un bloqueo.

Medida C: $60,800

Medida G: $19,200

Total: 80.000 dólares

G.13. Aprobación del calendario salarial revisado de CSEA para el cumplimiento de CalPERS

SRCS se sometió a una revisión de los calendarios salariales y las tarifas salariales del empleador escolar por parte de la Oficina de Servicios de Auditoría de CalPERS en el año escolar 2023/2024. Es necesario ajustar el lenguaje sobre los años de reconocimiento de servicio para apoyar aún más a los miembros de CSEA CalPERS. Los calendarios de pago y las tasas de pago que no se cumplan pueden resultar en cálculos erróneos de las contribuciones del empleador, demoras en el procesamiento de los beneficios de jubilación de los miembros, estimaciones de jubilación inexactas, pago correcto de los beneficios y reducción de los beneficios, y mayores costos administrativos para los empleadores por procesar las correcciones requeridas. a todas las cuentas de empleados afectadas durante el período en que se produjo el informe erróneo.

J.1. Temas futuros de discusión de la junta directiva (no incluidos en esta agenda)

Se anima a los miembros de SRTA a prepararse para los próximos puntos de la agenda.

Presupuesto propuesto por el gobernador
Actualización CTE
- ¿Se puede incorporar esto a la Resolución de Educación Técnica de CTE en años futuros? ¿Puede este artículo incluir números de inscripción y presupuestos tanto históricos como actuales? ¿Se pueden explicar explícitamente las distintas subvenciones, incluida la utilización de los recursos financieros? ¿Puede también haber una comunicación clara sobre qué programas ofrecen un curso final de tercer año?
Manual de gobernanza actualizado
Informe de medio de año LCAP
Propuesta de Presupuesto del Gobernador 24/25
Resolución de Reducción o Discontinuación de Ciertos Tipos Particulares de Servicio (PKS)
Actualización de mantenimiento diferido
Plan y cronograma para la implementación de las recomendaciones del Dr. Gillespie

SRTA espera la programación futura de los siguientes elementos:

Actualización sobre educación alternativa (diciembre de 2024)
- Existe una gran necesidad de ubicaciones alternativas para estudiantes de secundaria que necesitan más servicios de los que nuestras escuelas integrales pueden brindar. ¿Cómo puede SRCS satisfacer las necesidades de estos estudiantes durante estos tiempos financieros difíciles?
Actualización de inscripción abierta y transferencias dentro del distrito (diciembre de 2024)
- Los estudiantes de SRCS están solicitando ingreso a otras escuelas fuera de nuestro distrito en caso de que su escuela esté cerrada. ¿Cómo acelerará SRCS el proceso de inscripción y transferencia para retener la mayor cantidad de estudiantes posible?
Actualización de la gira de escucha y aprendizaje del superintendente Morales (noviembre de 2024)
- A los miembros de SRTA les gustaría comprender el impacto esperado de las visitas momentáneas y cómo se evalúa este uso de tiempo y recursos.
Aprobación de Calendarios Instructivos y Clasificados (noviembre 2024)
Audiencia pública y aprobación de la propuesta “Sunshine” 665 de Teamsters Union (retrasada desde octubre de 2024)
Primer Borrador del Plan de Seguridad Distrital (retrasado desde septiembre de 2024)

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.

Política de voz estudiantil
Actualización BEST Plus
- ¿SRCS todavía se identifica como un distrito BEST Plus?

D. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

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.

E. REPORTS

E.1. California School Employee Association (CSEA) Santa Rosa 75 Report

SRTA members stand with our CSEA staff in demanding a fair raise now.

E.7. School Consolidation / Closure Report

School Consolidation Advisory Committee webpage

There are no attachments or details provided for this report.

Five town hall meetings have been scheduled:

How will the information gleaned from these meetings be utilized?

Has an additional meeting been scheduled before Jan 27 for the closure and consolidation committee?

The Q and A on the district website states “… families will have the option to apply to transfer to any other school of their choice in the district through an Intra-District Transfer. These transfers will be approved, subject to school capacity. Support services will be available to help students adjust.”

What is the intention for these transfer requests?

What set of site capacity numbers will be used to accept transfers?

What is the timeline for this?

How will these requests be prioritized with regards to the transfer requests the district has already received?

What services can be expected for aiding student adjustments?

Who is responsible for providing these support services?

What is the timeline on this support?

SRTA members are seeing effective advertising campaigns from other districts attempting to lure our students away. How is SRCS responding? SRTA has long requested a robust campaign to share the gems our schools are with our community. Students and families residing in the SRCS district are often unaware of the plethora of offerings at their neighborhood school. Many end up leaving our district due to less rigorous graduation requirement options and other flexible programs like hybrid ISP, online school, schedules allowing for more classes, and Alt Ed options that successfully pull them away from SRCS.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing January 27, 2025 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day

January 27 is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The UN General Assembly has designated this day as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. As we are witnessing an alarming rise of antisemitism around the globe it is more important than ever for us to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate the victims and honor the survivors. International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Resolution

F.2. (Discussion) Special Education Review

The Board will get an update on the Special Education Review completed by Dr. William Gillaspie.

Findings include:

Overidentification of students with disabilities compared to state rates, including English Learner students. (This is a long identified issue.) There is not an exit strategy for students to leave the SpEd program. The overidentification is costing the district $26 million per year.

Lack of Interventions: There is an insufficient Multi-Tiered System of Support. Student Study Teams (SST) are not consistent.

Staffing Strains: SLP case overloads and use of contracted aides instead of district employed staff.

Transportation Costs: Ridership has outpaced statewide averages. $9.6 million per year, with the state picking up 60%.

Recommendations:

Clear direction from the board to enhance special services.

Create a Strategic Plan with clear systems, policies and procedures for service delivery.

Create a task force.

Negotiate to be able to directly hire aides (currently 67% are from outside agencies) and reduce SLP caseload overruns.

Create a procedural manual for all related service providers such as SLP, psychologists, etc. outlining responsibilities, eligibility and exit processes breaking down elementary and secondary.

Immediately addressing these issues seems prudent and doable, eliminating the need for other more draconian solutions to the budget.

What support does the district office need to implement these recommendations?

What does an implementation timeline look like?

F.3. Approval of Board Member School Site Liaison Assignments for 2025

Site Liaisons

SRTA recommends members reach out to their liaisons. Invite your liaison to your campus, and meet with them.

F.4. (Discussion/Action) Board Subcommittees and District Committees 2025

To provide better governance, the Board of Trustees would like to add two Board Subcommittees, on which no more than three Trustees will serve.

Here is the draft of the purpose of these subcommittees:

1) Fiscal Analysis Board Subcommittee

Long-Term Financial Planning – Assess revenue and expense projections, including liabilities such as healthcare costs that exceed COLA adjustments, and evaluate the impact of current and future financial trends on district programs.
Budget Implications & Policy Review – Analyze the financial impact of board policies, such as reserve policies, to ensure fiscal responsibility and sustainability.
Comprehensive Fund Analysis – Conduct in-depth evaluations of all district funds to maintain financial stability and transparency.

2) Board Policy Update Subcommittee

Ensure Alignment & Compliance – Review and update board policies to ensure they align with current state and federal laws, as well as district goals and priorities.
Improve Clarity & Consistency – Streamline and refine policies for clarity
Support Effective Governance – Provide the Board of Trustees with well-researched policy recommendations that promote equity, transparency, and effective decision-making.

SRTA appreciates efforts of the board to lead effectively.

SRCS eliminated board subcommittees moving instead to special meetings because the board felt they created lopsided information silos. What has led to a change in this thinking?

How often will these committees meet? Are they expected to be permanent? Will these scheduled meetings be shared and open to the public? Will there be public comment? Who else will be invited to be on the committees?

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 87 current postings for 197 jobs in SRCS. There are sixteen certificated opening postings for twenty positions (three less than last meeting.) There are seventy current classified postings for one hundred fifty-three job openings (thirty-two more than last meeting). There is one certificated and no classified management positions open.

SRTA welcomes Emma Parks (ABES), Jessica Habr Holt (SLES) and Patricia Maxson (HSMS.) And welcome back to Cynthia Miles (ALES.)

SRTA bids a fond farewell to Matthew Beaton who is retiring from SRHS at the end of the year after three years. (Thank you for your timely notification.)

Mark Ryan who has resigned as Principal of SRHS.

Changes to classified staff include eight new hires, one rehire, two resignations and three retirements. They leave taking with them seventy-four years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.

Summary

#	Provider	Cost	Description

Measure C = $332,822.21

Measure G = $88,373.60

Total = $421,195.81

G.6. Approval of Service Contract with Tad Health, Inc. To Provide Electronic Health Record & Children & Youth Behavioral Health Initiative Fee For Service Billing

G.7. Approval of Incident IQ Proposal

The chosen modules will replace the following systems currently utilized by SRCS:

Civic Permits (currently costs $9,355/year)
SchoolDude (currently costs $17,200/year)
ZenDesk (currently costs $24,500/year)

SRCS opted for a 3-year contract for a $1000 per year discount:

Year 1: $60,087.20 (discounted for overlapping services)

Year 2: $71,320.94

Year 3: $73,460.57

The current programs are less than ideal, but is this the right time to increase the costs for these programs by about $20,000 per year, and add the extra work to orient staff to new platforms so their use can be optimized.

G.8. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-23 for the District Wide Electronic Access Control Alternate Design-Build Contract

This is to hire DecoTech Systems under contract to design the District-Wide Electronic Access Control Alternate Design-Build Project for $80,000.

Resolution
Agreement

SRCS has far greater facility needs than the bond funds can cover. Bond funds were recently used to replace all locks in the district. At that time electronic locks were considered and not chosen. This contract is to replace these new locks with electronic locks district wide.

This type of project deteriorates public confidence in the district’s ability to utilize bond funds.

G.9. Approval of Proposed Increase of Minimum Wage

The Board will consider approval of the proposed increase of minimum wage from $16 to the state mandated $16.50 per hour for:

Accompanist
After School Athletic Program, Elementary
Auditorium Supervisor
Ticket Taker/Timekeeper/Scorekeeper
Student Workers
And, the revision of the Extra Duty Hourly/Miscellaneous Salary Schedule for 2024-2025 to reflect this increase ordered by the California Legislature.

Projected cost: $3,000.

Updated Salary Schedule

This falls short of the Santa Rosa City minimum wage of $17.87. It would cost about an additional $8,220 per year to approve this local requirement.

G.10. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-31 Authorizing Filing of Applications for State Allocation Board-Administered Facility Hardship and/or Seismic Mitigation Programs

This resolution says the SRCS Facilities Master Plan is sufficient for applying for these grants.

G.11. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-30 Authorizing Filing of Applications for State Allocation Board-Administered Programs

Similar to the above, this resolution about the SRCS Facility Master Plan is necessary to apply for $39,000, 000 of funding from the state for current project reimbursements.

G.12. Approval of 360-Degree Customer Inc. Professional Services Agreement

This is for an additional 25 special ed aides at $44 per hour for the rest of this school year. This contract is not to exceed $300,000.

December 11, 2024 Minutes and Supporting Documents

When is the line in the sand going to be drawn ending the continuous use of contracts for outsourcing aides instead of hiring them directly?

The agendized report states that there are too many aides currently utilized.

G.13. Approval of Critical Mention Agreement

This is for media monitoring and media contact database software. It provides a suite of tools designed to help users manage their earned media effectively.

$5,800 annually.

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.

E. REPORTS

E.1. California School Employee Association (CSEA) Santa Rosa 75 Report

It is December. SRCS negotiations with CSEA were put off until December. The time is now to offer them a fair and equitable raise. They have been working out of contract since November 1st which allows them to strike. SRTA members stand with our CSEA staff in demanding a fair raise now.

E.7. School Consolidation / Closure Report

School Consolidation Advisory Committee webpage

There are no attachments or details provided for this report.

The criteria sheets are not self-explanatory, and do not include explanations that allow comprehension of what is contained. SRTA Members and our students and their families are bursting with questions when they review the data in the Scoring Criteria. Many of the criteria are judging sites by decisions made at the district level. Here are a few of their ponderings.

There are questions about the stated capacity of sites. SRCS has used dramatically different numbers for site capacity over the past several years. When there are no changes to facilities, why are these capacities changing?
How do recent facility improvements qualify as a positive for the site while historical improvements are seen as a negative?
“Diversity” is being calculated as Unduplicated enrollment difference from 50%. Is unduplicated what we consider diverse? Where did the 50% benchmark come from?
How can enrollment/transfers be used to rank schools when some sites have been prevented from allowing enrollment/transfers?
There is much confusion about fault lines. Where is the evidence about fault line locations? Where is the source data that clarifies the requirements around fault lines and schools?
There are no quantities or expenses included for transportation which would seemingly vary between sites.
There are no alternative uses identified for sites. Why is the possibility of relocating the district office, or a Charter School (so it resides in our boundaries) not included?
Does cost per SF include property acreage or building space? Penalizing sites that squeeze a lot into a smaller space is confusing.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. Approval of Resolution Recognizing Santa Rosa City Schools As a Safe Haven School District

That the Board reaffirms Santa Rosa City Schools’ unequivocal commitment to ensuring a safe educational environment for all students, serving as a safe haven school district for students and families threatened by immigration enforcement or discrimination, to the fullest extent provided by the law.
Resolution

SRTA members are concerned with the future for our undocumented students and of the Federal support of education most importantly for students with disabilities.

F.2 and 3. Public Hearing and (Action) Approval Regarding District SRTA Contract Reopeners (Sunshine) for 2025-2027

The initial proposal reopeners include the following articles to negotiate:

Article 11 Leave of Absence Provisions (specifically, but not limited to, proposed language around maternity and paternity leave.)
Article 14 (RSP and SDC definitions)
Article 16 Compensation (specifically, but not limited to, salary schedules including Athletic Directors, department chairs, credentials and certificates that authorize particular kinds of services/instruction, and benefits for all bargaining unit members for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years).
Reviewing appendices, job descriptions and stipend
Partnering with SRTA to review, clarify, and make any necessary minor adjustments to any articles and sections within the collective bargaining agreement.

SRTA members expect rapid resolution to these issues so that time and energy can be returned to careful implementation of impending school closures and reductions in staff.

F.4. (Action) First Interim Fiscal Report

The Second Interim report that must be approved by the Board by March 15, which will include budget updates through January 31. This is a self reported positive report in that it is expected the district can meet its financial obligations through the current year and the two years following .

SCLS Update on Requirements

Board Report (This is the detailed First Interim Report.)

The First Interim Report shows an $6.8M increase in revenue, and an $13M increase in expenditures resulting in adjusting a budget that had $19M in deficit spending to one with $25M in deficit spending.

Changes include:

Increases in LCFF, Federal, State and Local Revenues

Expected Overspending from 2024-25 Adopted Budget

324% overspending on Equipment
21% overspending on Dues and Memberships
20% overspending on Subagreements for Services (Agency employees?)
17% overspending on Books and Supplies
16% overspending on Health and Welfare Benefits
15% overspending on Professional/Consulting Services
12% overspending on Certificated Supervisors and Administrative Salaries

What is the plan with the Draft Staffing Ratio? What will the feedback loop look like? When will this be finished?

In the trenches it seems that belts have been tightened this year to eliminate costs. SRTA is concerned that expenditures for this current year are expected to be $13 million more than budgeted. What explains this? Why is there a $3.5 million increase in staff salaries and benefits between the budget and first interim with no new positions or new contract agreements? Why have Services and Other Operating Expenditures increased by over $8 million dollars? These budgeting discrepancies do not help raise confidence in the management of our district.

There is a general feeling of angst among the Educational Partners of SRCS. Where and when can we expect a timeline and implementation plan to be transparently communicated for all educational partners of SRCS for school closures and the reduction in staff in order to meet the fiscal stabilization necessary for the health of our district? These documents would go a long way to assure folks that things are being well tended to.

F.5. (Discussion/Action) First Read and Possible Waive of Second Read for Board Policy 6158

It is reasonable that SRCS recover as much ADA as possible. Recent changes to Ed Code allow for Short Term Independent Study for students from one day of planned absence. This item updates SRCS policy to abide by this change.

BP 6158 (Redlined) (Clean)

SRTA encourages broad communication and support about Short Term Independent Study, freely giving students the opportunity to complete forms a week or more before a planned absence (whether for medical, personal or travel reasons) so that SRCS can capture ADA for those days.

F.6. Establishment of the Annual Organizational Meeting of the Board of Education

New members will be seated and choose their officers for this next year at the next board meeting.

SRCS welcomes Nick Caston, Mark Kirby and Sarah Jenkins to their new positions. Please extend your personal appreciation for service to the departing Ever Flores, Ed Sheffield and Alegria DeLaCruz (before their emails are discontinued.)

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 90 current postings for 144 jobs in SRCS. There are eighteen certificated opening postings for twenty-three positions. There are seventy-two current classified postings for one hundred twenty-one job openings (forty more than last meeting). There are no certificated or classified management positions open.

SRTA welcomes back Ceanne Browne (PHS).

SRTA bids a fond farewell to Brian Deller who has retired from EAHS after twenty years of service.

Changes to classified staff include six new hires and two resignations. They leave taking with them five and a half years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.

Applicant (Edwin Schulze)

SRTA members are concerned that we are at the one year anniversary of the installation of many solar arrays on our campuses. These are ready for their annual cleaning, and have not yet been utilized.

Students deserve functioning playgrounds, but where is the wisdom of installing a playground when it has the potential of just being utilized for a couple of months, if the site is closed?

If a project comes in under budget, is there a credit from the architects?

G.7. Approval of Appointment to Measure I, Measure L, Measure C, and Measure G Citizens’ Oversight Committees

The Board will consider approving and appointing Edwin Schulze to Measure I, Measure L, Measure C, and Measure G Citizen’s Oversight Committee representing Parents/Guardians of children enrolled in the district.

G.8. Approval of Support Contract with Evidence.dev

Business Intelligence (BI) and easy access to data are critical for driving informed decision-making and achieving the Board’s strategic priorities. Following the June 2024 discontinuation of the Renaissance contract for EDUClimber, the Information and Evaluation team successfully migrated essential data reports to the Evidence.dev platform over the summer. While Evidence.dev offers a robust self-hosted BI solution for administrator reporting, a dedicated support contract is crucial for our success. This contract will provide the Information and Evaluation team with direct customer support and access to dedicated developer resources, offering timely assistance with technical issues and prioritizing the features we need to maximize the platform’s capabilities.

$6,000 ($1,000 per month for 6 months). This is a cost savings as compared to previous solutions.

G.9. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-24 Authorizing Personnel to Sign Orders on District Funds Accounts

This resolution authorizes Simona Hoyos, District Accountant, to sign orders for the payment of lawful expenses of the District on funds at Exchange Bank for the following accounts:

Child Care Revolving Cash Account (XXXXXX9938)
District Clearing Account (XXXX3017)
District Revolving Cash Account (XXXX6392)

G.10. Approval of Resolution 2024/25-25 Authorizing Personnel to Sign Orders on District Funds Accounts

This will authorize, empower, and update the signatories for District banking. This resolution authorizes Dr. Daisy Morales, Superintendent, to sign orders for the payment of lawful expenses of the District on funds at Exchange Bank for the following accounts:

Child Care Revolving Cash Account (XXXXXX9938)
District Clearing Account (XXXXXX3017)
District Revolving Cash Account (XXXXXX6392)
District Cafeteria Account (XXXXXX7530)

G.11. Approval of SCHED Contract

The Board will consider approval of a support contract with SCHED LLC to provide online scheduling for the Santa Rosa City School employee professional development day on January 31, 2025. One year contract for $7,200.

SRTA members wonder about this expense for a one time use. This is the third platform being used for PD scheduling in the last several years. Staff want excellent communication about offerings and expectations for the day.

G.12. Approval of Ross+Luthin Creative Professional Services Agreement for Design Services: Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program Signage

Agreement for the Hidden Valley ES (HVES) Services: Deaf & Hard of Hearing Program Signage for $14,700 from SELPA funds.

E. INFORMES

E.1. Informe Santa Rosa 75 de la Asociación de Empleados Escolares de California (CSEA)

Es diciembre. Las negociaciones de la SRCS con la CSEA se pospusieron hasta diciembre. Ahora es el momento de ofrecerles un aumento justo y equitativo. Llevan trabajando sin contrato desde el 1 de noviembre, lo que les permite hacer huelga. Los miembros de SRTA apoyan a nuestro personal de CSEA para exigir un aumento justo ahora.

E.7. Informe de Consolidación/Cierre Escolar

Comité Asesor de Consolidación Escolar Página web

Carta del Procurador General a los distritos escolares

No hay archivos adjuntos ni detalles proporcionados para este informe.

Las hojas de criterios no son autoexplicativas y no incluyen explicaciones que permitan la comprensión de lo contenido. Los miembros de SRTA y nuestros estudiantes y sus familias están llenos de preguntas cuando revisan los datos en el Criterios de puntuación. Muchos de los criterios juzgan los sitios según decisiones tomadas a nivel de distrito. Estas son algunas de sus reflexiones.

Hay dudas sobre la capacidad declarada de los sitios. SRCS ha utilizado números dramáticamente diferentes para la capacidad del sitio durante los últimos años. Cuando no hay cambios en las instalaciones, ¿por qué cambian estas capacidades?
¿Cómo se consideran positivas para el sitio las mejoras recientes en las instalaciones, mientras que las mejoras históricas se consideran negativas?
La “Diversidad” se calcula como la diferencia de inscripción no duplicada del 50 %. ¿Está des-duplicado lo que consideramos diverso? ¿De dónde vino el punto de referencia del 50%?
¿Cómo se pueden utilizar las inscripciones/transferencias para clasificar las escuelas cuando a algunos sitios se les ha impedido permitir inscripciones/transferencias?
Hay mucha confusión acerca de las líneas de falla. ¿Dónde está la evidencia sobre la ubicación de las líneas de falla? ¿Dónde están los datos de origen que aclaran los requisitos en torno a las fallas y las escuelas?
No se incluyen cantidades ni gastos de transporte que aparentemente variarían entre sitios.
No hay usos alternativos identificados para los sitios. ¿Por qué no se incluye la posibilidad de reubicar la oficina del distrito o una escuela autónoma (para que resida dentro de nuestros límites)?
¿El costo por ft² incluye la superficie de propiedad o el espacio de construcción? Penalizar a los sitios que ocupan mucho espacio en un espacio más pequeño resulta confuso.

F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN

F.1. Aprobación de resolución que reconoce a las escuelas de la ciudad de Santa Rosa como distrito escolar de refugio seguro

Que la Junta reafirma el compromiso inequívoco de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa de garantizar un entorno educativo seguro para todos los estudiantes, sirviendo como un distrito escolar de refugio seguro para los estudiantes y familias amenazados por la aplicación de la ley de inmigración o la discriminación, en la máxima medida prevista por la ley.
Resolución

Los miembros de SRTA están preocupados por el futuro de nuestros estudiantes indocumentados y por el apoyo federal a la educación, especialmente para los estudiantes con discapacidades.

F.2 y 3. Audiencia pública y aprobación (de acción) sobre los re-abridores de contratos de la SRTA del distrito (Sunshine) para 2025-2027

Los re-abridoress de propuestas iniciales incluyen los siguientes artículos a negociar:

Artículo 11 Disposiciones relativas a los permisos de ausencia (específicamente, pero sin limitarse a ello, la redacción propuesta en torno a los permisos de maternidad y paternidad).
Artículo 16 Remuneración (específicamente, pero sin limitarse a ello, las tablas salariales, incluidos los directores de atletismo, los jefes de departamento, las credenciales y certificados que autorizan determinados tipos de servicios/instrucción, y las prestaciones para todos los miembros de la unidad de negociación para los cursos escolares 2025-2026 y 2026-2027).
Revisión de apéndices, descripciones de puestos y estipendios.
Asociarse con SRTA para revisar, aclarar y hacer cualquier ajuste menor necesario a cualquier artículo y sección dentro del acuerdo de negociación colectiva.
Traducción realizada con la versión gratuita del traductor DeepL.com

Los miembros de SRTA esperan una resolución rápida de estos problemas para que se pueda dedicar tiempo y energía a la implementación cuidadosa de los inminentes cierres de escuelas y reducciones de personal.

F.4. (Acción) Primer Informe Fiscal Intermedio

El segundo informe provisional que debe ser aprobado por la Junta antes del 15 de marzo, que incluirá actualizaciones del presupuesto hasta el 31 de enero. Este es un informe positivo autoinformado en el sentido de que se espera que el distrito pueda cumplir con sus obligaciones financieras durante el año en curso y los dos años siguientes.

Presentación

Informe de la Junta (Este es el primer informe provisional detallado).

El primer informe provisional muestra un aumento de $6.8 millones en ingresos y un aumento de $13 millones en gastos, lo que resulta en el ajuste de un presupuesto que tenía $19 millones en gastos deficitarios a uno con $25 millones en gastos deficitarios.

Los cambios incluyen:

Aumentos en LCFF, ingresos federales, estatales y locales

Gasto excesivo esperado del presupuesto adoptado para 2024-25

324% de gasto excesivo en equipos
21% de gasto excesivo en cuotas y membresías
20% de gasto excesivo en subacuerdos de servicios (¿empleados de agencia?)
17% de gasto excesivo en libros y suministros
16% de gasto excesivo en beneficios de salud y bienestar
15% de gasto excesivo en servicios profesionales/de consultoría
12% de gasto excesivo en supervisores certificados y salarios administrativos

¿Cuál es el plan con el Proyecto de proporción de personal? ¿Cómo será el ciclo de retroalimentación? ¿Cuándo terminará esto?

En las trincheras parece que este año se han apretado el cinturón para eliminar costes. A SRTA le preocupa que se espera que los gastos para este año en curso sean $13 millones más de lo presupuestado. Esto es más de lo que pretendemos reducir con el cierre de escuelas. ¿Cómo podemos aumentar tanto nuestro gasto mientras decimos que necesitamos hacer recortes críticos?

¿Qué explica estos 13 millones de dólares adicionales en gastos? ¿Por qué hay un aumento de $3.5 millones en los salarios y beneficios del personal entre el presupuesto y el primer período interino sin nuevos puestos ni nuevos acuerdos contractuales? ¿Por qué los Servicios y Otros Gastos Operativos han aumentado en más de $8 millones de dólares? Estas discrepancias presupuestarias no ayudan a aumentar la confianza en la gestión de nuestro distrito.

Existe un sentimiento general de angustia entre los Socios Educativos de la SRCS. ¿Dónde y cuándo podemos esperar que se comunique de manera transparente un cronograma y un plan de implementación a todos los socios educativos de SRCS para el cierre de escuelas y la reducción de personal a fin de cumplir con la estabilización fiscal necesaria para la salud de nuestro distrito? Estos documentos contribuirían en gran medida a garantizar a la gente que todo está bien atendido.

F.5. (Discusión/Acción) Primera lectura y posible exención de la segunda lectura para la Política de la Junta 6158

Es razonable que SRCS recupere la mayor cantidad de ADA posible. Los cambios recientes al Código de Educación permiten estudios independientes a corto plazo para los estudiantes a partir de un día de ausencia planificada. Este artículo actualiza la política de SRCS para cumplir con este cambio.

BP 6158 (Marcado en rojo) (Limpio)

SRTA fomenta una amplia comunicación y apoyo sobre los estudios independientes a corto plazo, brindando gratuitamente a los estudiantes la oportunidad de completar formularios una semana o más antes de una ausencia planificada (ya sea por razones médicas, personales o de viaje) para que SRCS pueda capturar la ADA para esos días.

F.6. Establecimiento de la Reunión Organizativa Anual de la Junta de Educación

Los nuevos miembros tomarán asiento y elegirán a sus funcionarios para el próximo año en la próxima reunión de la junta directiva.

Actualización de SCLS sobre requisitos

SRCS da la bienvenida a Nick Caston, Mark Kirby y Sarah Jenkins a sus nuevos puestos. Extienda su agradecimiento personal por el servicio a los salientes Ever Flores, Ed Sheffield y Alegria DeLaCruz (antes de que se suspendan sus correos electrónicos).

G.2. Aprobación de Transacciones de Personal

EdJoin muestra un total de 90 publicaciones actuales para 144 puestos de trabajo en SRCS. Hay dieciocho puestos de apertura certificados para veintitrés puestos. Hay setenta y dos anuncios clasificados actuales para ciento veintiún puestos vacantes (cuarenta más que la última reunión). No hay puestos directivos certificados o clasificados abiertos.

SRTA le da la bienvenida a Cainne Browne (PHS).

SRTA se despide con cariño de Brian Deller, quien se jubiló de EAHS después de veinte años de servicio.

Los cambios en el personal clasificado incluye seis nuevas contrataciones y dos renuncias. Se llevan cinco años y medio de conocimiento y servicio a nuestro personal y estudiantes.

Solicitante (Edwin Schulze)

A los miembros de SRTA les preocupa que estemos en el primer aniversario de la instalación de muchos paneles solares en nuestros campus. Estos están listos para su limpieza anual y aún no han sido utilizados.

Los estudiantes merecen parques infantiles que funcionen, pero ¿dónde está la sabiduría de instalar un parque infantil cuando tiene el potencial de ser utilizado sólo durante un par de meses, si el sitio será cerrado?

G.8. Aprobación del contrato de apoyo con Evidence.dev

La inteligencia empresarial (BI) y el fácil acceso a los datos son fundamentales para impulsar la toma de decisiones informadas y lograr las prioridades estratégicas de la Junta. Tras la interrupción del contrato Renaissance para EDUClimber en junio de 2024, el equipo de Información y Evaluación migró con éxito informes de datos esenciales a la plataforma Evidence.dev durante el verano. Si bien Evidence.dev ofrece una sólida solución de BI auto hospedada para generar informes de administrador, un contrato de apoyo dedicado es crucial para nuestro éxito. Este contrato proporcionará al equipo de Información y Evaluación apoyo directo al cliente y acceso a recursos dedicados para desarrolladores, ofreciendo asistencia oportuna con problemas técnicos y priorizando las características que necesitamos para maximizar las capacidades de la plataforma.

$6,000 ($1,000 por mes durante 6 meses). Esto supone un ahorro de costes en comparación con soluciones anteriores.

J.1. Temas futuros de discusión de la junta directiva (no incluidos en esta agenda)

Se anima a los miembros de SRTA a prepararse para los próximos puntos de la agenda.

Informe de educación especial
- Los miembros de SRTA esperan que el informe encargado al Dr. Gillespie se comparta en esta reunión, junto con el cronograma y los planes de implementación que especifiquen cuáles de sus recomendaciones SRCS espera adoptar.
Actualización sobre educación alternativa
- Existe una gran necesidad de ubicaciones alternativas para estudiantes de secundaria que necesitan más servicios de los que nuestras escuelas integrales pueden brindar. ¿Cómo puede SRCS satisfacer las necesidades de estos estudiantes durante estos tiempos financieros difíciles?
Actualización de inscripción abierta y transferencias dentro del distrito
- Los estudiantes de SRCS están solicitando ingreso a otras escuelas fuera de nuestro distrito en caso de que su escuela esté cerrada. ¿Cómo acelerará SRCS el proceso de inscripción y transferencia para retener la mayor cantidad de estudiantes posible?

SRTA espera la programación futura de los siguientes elementos:

Actualización de la gira de escucha y aprendizaje del superintendente Morales (noviembre de 2024)
- A los miembros de SRTA les gustaría comprender el impacto esperado de estas visitas sin cita previa y cómo se evalúa este uso de tiempo y recursos.
Aprobación de Calendarios Instructivos y Clasificados (noviembre 2024)
Audiencia pública y aprobación de la propuesta “Sunshine” 665 de Teamsters Union (retrasada desde octubre de 2024)

Cerrar oficialmente la Casa de Aprendizaje
Solicitud de revisión acelerada del material del estatuto de SRACS (retrasada)
Decisión de unificación/redistribución de distritos
Cambio de nombre de sitios Actualización/Decisión
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 CSEA. El impacto potencial de los fondos disminuye a medida que pasa el tiempo.

D. REPORTS

D.7. Safety Report

Report

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.

D.8 Consolidation/Closing Committee Report

E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

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.

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 website HERE.

Ruby Bridges Foundation

“My message is really that racism has no place in the hearts and minds of our children.” Ruby Bridges

SRTA joins in celebrating the legacy of Ruby Bridges.

Walk To School Day Event Guide

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.

Framework Calls 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.
All appendices, job descriptions and stipends.

Letter

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.

Revised Calendar

This has become an annual event. Perhaps these requirements can be taken into consideration when the next board calendar is created.

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

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, Taryn Reynolds’ 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.

G.7. Approval of CivicPlus NextRequest Agreement

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.

G.12. Approval of Master Agreement for Special Education Services for Students from Out of District

This Master Agreement will be used when other districts agree to place students in SRCS programs, in a fee for service and delineates the responsibilities of each party. The Program Cost that the neighboring districts will pay varies depending upon the SRCS Program.

F.3. Public Hearing: Kid Street Charter School Renewal

Previous Board Activity

April 12, 2017, School Board approves a 5-year charter renewal

History

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.

The Board of Education will conduct a Public Hearing to solicit input from members of the public on Kid Street Charter School’s request for renewal of its charter. Staff will post its findings and recommendations no later than October 29, 2024. The Board will not take action tonight, but will take action to grant or deny the renewal on November 13, 2024.

SRTA wonders what the parameters are for approving an independent charter and what the financial implications are.

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 101 current postings for 168 jobs in SRCS. There are twenty certificated openings (thirty-three less than the last meeting.) There is one certificated management openings posted. There are eighty-three current classified postings for one hundred forty-seven job openings. There are no classified management positions open.

SRTA welcomes Shasheen Hoaglen (PHS) and Thao Dang (EAHS). Welcome back to Leslie Loopstra (SRArtsC). Two more certificated staff are adding additional FTE.

SRTA bids farewell to Annemarie Bacich (HCMS) who has resigned after one month.

Administrative movements include the resignations of Martha Martinez Principal of SLES and Vanessa Wedderburn Communications Coordinator. They have a combined 2.3 years with SRCS.

Changes to classified staff include four new hires, a probationary release, three resignations and three retirements. They leave with seventy-five years of knowledge and service to our staff and students.

There are no changes to supervisory positions.

G.7. Approval of the Arntz Builders Phase III GMP for DO & Ed Center: CR Warehouse

The Board will consider approval of the Arntz Builders, Inc. Phase Three Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the District Office & Education Center: Central Receiving Warehouse.

There are wonderings with the elimination of sites in the future if the building of a new district office is the best course of action. Could a closed site be repurposed to a district office?

G.8. Approval of AP World History Course Proposal

The new course was brought to site leadership teams, and upon gaining approval by the site, it was then forwarded to the appropriate steering committee where it was discussed, approved and moved forward to the Principals and Teaching and Learning Directors for final review.

This course is being implemented this year.

There is a cost of $5,000 for one site to implement.

Proposal

F.3. Audiencia pública: Renovación de la escuela autónoma Kid Street

Actividad anterior de la Mesa Directiva

12 de abril de 2017, la Mesa Directiva Escolar aprueba una renovación del estatuto por 5 años

Historia

La Junta aprobó originalmente el estatuto para el funcionamiento de Kid Street Charter School el 14 de abril de 1999. La Escuela Charter ha estado en funcionamiento en Santa Rosa durante casi 25 años.

La Mesa Directiva de Educación llevará a cabo una audiencia pública para solicitar la opinión del público sobre la solicitud de renovación de su estatuto de Kid Street Charter School. El personal publicará sus hallazgos y recomendaciones a más tardar el 29 de octubre de 2024. La Mesa Directiva no tomará medidas esta noche, pero sí para conceder o denegar la renovación el 13 de noviembre de 2024.

SRTA se pregunta cuáles son los parámetros para aprobar una carta independiente y cuáles son las implicaciones financieras.

G.2. Aprobación de Transacciones de Personal

Se anima a los miembros de SRTA a prepararse para los próximos puntos de la agenda.

Resolución: Día de caminata a la escuela de Ruby Bridges
Establecimiento de la Reunión Organizativa Anual de la Junta de Educación
Borrador de Marco Restaurativo

SRTA espera la programación futura de los siguientes elementos:

Audiencia pública y aprobación de la propuesta «Sunshine» del sindicato Teamsters 665 (aplazada de octubre de 2024)
Primer borrador del Plan de Seguridad del Distrito (aplazado desde septiembre de 2024)
Revisión por la Junta de los Objetivos Estratégicos (iniciada en junio de 2024)
Compartir los planes de apoyo para las contrataciones PIP y de Exención de Plazo Variable. (Solicitud de la Junta 8/14/24)
Compartir el Plan Maestro de EL actualizado con expectativas de implementación
Compartir el Plan Maestro de la Biblioteca con expectativas de implementación
Cerrar oficialmente Learning House
SRACS Accelerated Charter Material Revision Request (retrasado)
Decisión de Unificación/Redistribución de Distritos
Actualización/Decisión sobre el cambio de nombre de los centros
Plan para el programa de apoyo a la vivienda del personal de 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 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.
Resolution

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.

2024 Admin List

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.

Student Group	Chronic Absenteeism	Suspension Rate	English Language Arts	Mathematics
All Students	Yellow	Red	Yellow	Orange
Filipino	Yellow	Orange	Blue	Yellow

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.

Contract Negotiations

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.
VTA Request (Form) (T. Reynolds)

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.

Letter of Intent

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.

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.
Resolution
Article

F.2. (Discussion) Summer School 2024 Update

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.

Elementary Resolution

Secondary Resolution

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.

BB 9150 (Red Lined) (Clean)

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.
BB 9250 (Red Lined) (Clean)

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.

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

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 Charlotte Nehm (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.

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.
Resolución
Artículo

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.

Voz de estudiantes y familias 115 de 5782 participantes dieron su opinión, entre un 77% y un 87% positiva.

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.

Resolución elemental

Resolución secundaria

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.

BB 9150 (Forrado rojo.) (Limpio)

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.
BB 9250 (Forrado rojo.) (Limpio)

¿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”.

G. ARTÍCULOS DE CONSENTIMIENTO

G.2. Aprobación de Transacciones de Personal

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.

6:00 p.m. – Open Session

Hybrid: Zoom / Santa Rosa City Hall Council Chambers (100 Santa Rosa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95404)

Closed Session Items:

A.1. Public Comment On Closed Session Agenda Items To comment, email Melanie Martin at mmartinsrcs.k12.ca.us.

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)

OAH Cases are related to Special Education. CV references Civil Cases.

B.4. Conference With Legal Counsel – Anticipated Litigation (Number of potential cases: 4)

Fiscal Stabilization Committee and School Consolidation Committees are working on recommendations that will be brought to the board.

Report

Presentation

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 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.

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.

Descripción del trabajo

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.

Fondos CSI – $10,000

G.9. Aprobación de la Resolución N° 2024/25-08 Aprobando el Recálculo de Limitación de Apropiaciones 2023-24 y Cálculo de Limitación de Apropiaciones Estimadas 2024-25 (Límite de Gann)

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.

Límite de asignaciones ajustadas $119,333,729.25

BOARD MEETING

August 28, 2024

4:00 p.m. – Closed Session

6:00 p.m. – Open Session

Hybrid: Zoom / Santa Rosa City Hall Council Chambers (100 Santa Rosa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95404)

*** streamed ***

Closed Session Items:

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 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.”

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 )

OAH Cases are related to Special Education. CV references Civil Cases.

E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

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.

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.

Secondary 2024-29 Implementation Plan

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.

New structures are called out in comments below.

Presentation (Annual Report)

$87.3 million new DO

$31 million MHS two-story building

$17.5 million CCLA new classrooms

$9.5 million SRAccC new classrooms

$7.5 million RHS new MPR

$28 million MHS new Gym and Locker Rooms

Elementary 2024-30 Implementation Plan

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.

Org Chart

It is helpful to have this org chart.

Will these charts be incorporated into the SRCS website for ease of reference?

Will bullet points of who is responsible for what be added? Folks do not know who to call for what.

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

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?

B.1. Nombramiento/Empleo de Empleado Público (Posición a cubrir: Director)

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 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.

B. 3. Conferencia con el Asesor Legal – Litigios Existentes (5 Casos: Caso OAH No. 2024070139, Caso OAH No. 2024070448, 24CV-00520, 23CV-00397 y SCV-272273)

Los casos de la OAH están relacionados con la educación especial. CV hace referencia a casos civiles.

D. INFORMES

E. Comentario público sobre temas fuera de la agenda

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.

Plan de implementación de secundaria 2024-29

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.

Presentación (Informe anual)

$87.3 millones nueva DO

Edificio de dos pisos de MHS de $31 millones

$17.5 millones CCLA para nuevas aulas

$9.5 millones de nuevas aulas SRAccC

$7.5 millones nuevo MPR RHS

$28 millones para nuevo gimnasio y vestuarios de MHS

Plan de implementación de primaria 2024-30

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.

organigrama

Es útil tener este organigrama.

¿Se incorporarán estos cuadros al sitio web de SRCS para facilitar su consulta?

¿Se agregarán viñetas sobre quién es responsable de qué? La gente no sabe a quién llamar para qué.

G. ARTÍCULOS DE CONSENTIMIENTO

G.2. Aprobación de Transacciones de Personal

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).

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?

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

High School District Supplemental = $10,809,682

With the constant turnover at the administrative level, creating an ongoing and meaningful collaborative 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.

Application

Application Español

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

Draft

Public Disclosure

SRTA appreciates the progress made in this new contract. Our members have ratified this, and we support the board ratifying it.

F.10. (Action) Approval of Proposed Revisions to the Certificated Guest Teacher and Classified Substitute Salary Schedule Rates

The proposal is for rates to remain the same with one exception: the elimination of the longevity bonus.

Substitute Rates

Rate Comparison

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.

Clean

Draft

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

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

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.

MS Unified Course Proposal

Field Trips provide real world experience and inspiration for students. Help is needed to support those brave enough to try and organize these experiences for students. Revision is needed to ease the hoop jumping required to secure volunteers for field trips and on campus activities. The process for getting field trips approved is ready for evaluation and streamlining with this new vendor. What is the bare minimum really required? Currently the paperwork requirements vary widely by different sites.

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

Draft Job Description

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.

Co-Teaching MOU

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.

SPSA Plans and Allocations for 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

Continue the Cycle

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.

Facilities Lease

Site Lease

G.13. Adopt Resolution No. 2023/24-83 Approving Lease-Leaseback Contracts with BHM Construction, LLC – Proctor Terrace Elementary School

This is for the Proctor Terrace ES (PTES) Roofing and HVAC Project.

Facilities Lease

Site Lease

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.

List of District Vehicles

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.

DO & CR Warehouse Amendment

Disposal List

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.

Obsolete Materials List

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.

Contract Code

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.

Measure C: $778,934.21

Measure G: $245,979.23

Total: $1,024,913.44

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.

G.22. Approval of Imagine Learning Contract

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.

Epicenter

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.

G.25. Approval of Nomination to the Sonoma County School Attendance Review Board (SARB)

Stacy Desideri, Executive Director, Wellness and Engagement is the proposed candidate to represent SRCS on this board.

Nomination

G.26. Approval of Vista Higher Learning

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.

Santa Rosa High Application $24,590, includes $2000 for one small class.

Elsie Allen Application $22,390 includes $3000 for two small classes.

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.

J1. Future Board Discussion Items

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.
