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 stand in solid support of the need to improve the compensation for our CSEA staff. The incredible efforts of classified staff provide the front line of service to our students and families. SRCS relies on this workforce to keep our doors open, literally. They feed our students, answer our phones, monitor students and dispose of our garbage.

SRTA Members are greatly upset with the $6.5 million dollar contract with Inspire for Assistants for Special Ed. This is concerning to be paying $52 an hour for this subcontractor to pay workers $22-26 per hour which is 36% more than SRCS postings on Edjoin. It is time to fix this egregious error in judgment!

Resolving this wage issue so SRCS can hire their own assistants must be a top priority. Sub-contracted employees are not committed to SRCS. This leads to attendance issues, inconsistency and constant turnover of the staff on campus. These temporary staff never truly integrate on any campus and fail to become part of the “team.”

It is time to make a decision on the proceeds from the sale of the Fir Ridge property. Those funds are just sitting and losing value as the cost of housing continues to rise. Getting a home purchase assistance program started could help SRCS attract and retain CSEA staff and ease the need for additional compensation.

B. 3. Conference With Legal Counsel – Existing Litigation (5 Cases: OAH Case No. 2024070139, OAH Case No. 2024070448, 24CV-00520, 23CV-00397, and SCV-272273 )

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

B.4. Conference With Legal Counsel – Anticipated Litigation (Number of potential cases: 3)

B.5. Public Employee Performance Evaluation (Title of employee being reviewed: Superintendent, Associate Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Principals, Vice Principals, Assistant Principals, Directors, Coordinators)

C. RECONVENE TO REGULAR OPEN SESSION (6:00 p.m.)

D. REPORTS

E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

SRTA Members are invited to complete ‘blue cards.’ Online comments have been suspended. Please be prepared to observe the three minute time limit or the imposition of a possible two or even one minute limit. Only items NOT on the agenda are addressed at this time.

Comments are requested at the board meeting to bring a member’s perspective and share real experiences of the impact of district policies and practices.

Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to agenda items that impact you or your students. Speakers are limited to those in person. Comments are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. Action) Approval of Resolution 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.

Resolution

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.

Resolution

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.

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.

Programs and Activities

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?

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

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

Resolution to Recognize Latinx Heritage Month
2023-24 Unaudited Actuals
2024 Summer School Update
Resolution: Oct 14, 2024 Indigenous Peoples’ Day

The following were previously scheduled future board update items:

District and School Site Safety Plans (9/25/24)
- Sites submitted their plans to the district in March.

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

Sharing the support plans for PIP and Variable Term Waiver hires. (Board request 8/14/24)
Sharing the updated EL Master Plan
Sharing the Library Master Plan
Officially Closing Learning House
SRACS Accelerated Charter Material Revision Request (delayed)
Unification/Redistricting Decision
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?

A.1. Comentario público sobre los puntos de la agenda de la sesión cerrada Para comentar, envíe un correo electrónico a Melanie Martin a mmartin@srcs.k12.ca.us.

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 apoyan firmemente la necesidad de mejorar la compensación de nuestro personal de CSEA. Los increíbles esfuerzos del personal clasificado brindan la primera línea de servicio a nuestros estudiantes y familias. SRCS depende de esta fuerza laboral para mantener nuestras puertas abiertas, literalmente. Alimentan a nuestros estudiantes, contestan nuestros teléfonos, monitorean a los estudiantes y eliminan nuestra basura.

Los miembros de SRTA están muy molestos con el contrato de $6.5 millones de dólares con Inspire para asistentes de educación especial. Es preocupante que este subcontratista pague $52 por hora a los trabajadores entre $22 y $26 por hora, lo cual es un 36% más que las publicaciones de SRCS en Edjoin. ¡Es hora de corregir este atroz error de juicio!

Resolver este problema salarial para que SRCS pueda contratar a sus propios asistentes debe ser una máxima prioridad. Los empleados subcontratados no están comprometidos con SRCS. Esto genera problemas de asistencia, inconsistencia y rotación constante del personal en el campus. Este personal temporal nunca se integra realmente en ningún campus y no logra formar parte del “equipo”.

Es hora de tomar una decisión sobre los ingresos de la venta de la propiedad de Fir Ridge. Esos fondos simplemente están sentados y perdiendo valor a medida que el costo de la vivienda continúa aumentando. Iniciar un programa de asistencia para la compra de viviendas podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener al personal de CSEA y aliviar la necesidad de una compensación adicional.

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.

B.4. Conferencia con Asesor Legal – Litigio Anticipado (Número de casos potenciales: 3)

B.5. Evaluación del desempeño del empleado público (título del empleado que se está revisando: superintendente, superintendente diputado, superintendente adjunto, directores, vice directores, subdirectores, directores, coordinadores)

C. REUNIRSE A LA SESIÓN ABIERTA ORDINARIA (6:00 p. m.)

D. INFORMES

E. Comentario público sobre temas fuera de la agenda

Se invita a los miembros de SRTA a completar “tarjetas azules”. Los comentarios en línea han sido suspendidos. Esté preparado para respetar el límite de tiempo de tres minutos o la imposición de un posible límite de dos o incluso un minuto. En este momento sólo se abordan los puntos que NO están en la agenda.

Se solicitan comentarios en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva para aportar la perspectiva de un miembro y compartir experiencias reales sobre el impacto de las políticas y prácticas del distrito.

Comprométase a ver o asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directiva este año y a hablar sobre los temas de la agenda que le impacten a usted o a sus estudiantes. Los oradores se limitan a aquellos en persona. Los comentarios tienen más impacto cuando están bien expresados, compuestos y razonables.

F. DISCUSIÓN / ARTÍCULOS DE ACCIÓN

F.1. Acción) Aprobación de Resolución 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.

¿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.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?

Con base en el estudio, SRCS desarrollará un plan estratégico e implementará los cambios recomendados según corresponda para mejorar la eficiencia y eficacia del sistema de prestación de educación especial. Esto reflejará sistemas, procedimientos y políticas que garanticen oportunidades educativas para todos los estudiantes.

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.

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 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.

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.

Quote

The redesignation requirements will need to be updated to include i-Ready.

SRTA members look forward to the opportunity to review metrics and provide feedback on this new platform. How will this be rolled out?

G.30. Approval of 95% Phonics Core Curriculum Contract

The Board will consider the approval of the 95% Phonics Core Program for Santa Rosa City Schools Tier 1 foundational skills reading curriculum for Kindergarten through fifth grade. The 95% Phonics Core Program is a stand-alone program that will replace McGraw Hill Wonders/Wonder Works (board adopted 2018), which is part of a broader curriculum program not used in Santa Rosa City Schools.

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.

SRCS LCAP 24-25

SRCS shared their LCAP with SRTA two weeks ago during a collaboration meeting. SRTA took time to read the draft, and then met again last week to ask clarifying questions, understanding that the LCAP was complete. SRCS is working on their internal LCAP process, improving it each year. It is hoped that SRTA can be invited in as actual partners of the mid-year review and participate in the the decision making process for the next revision of the LCAP.

There is data collection and review built into this plan, however systemic academic support in response to the needs the data reveals remains undefined.

SRTA celebrates the inclusion of clear metrics with both baselines and goals, as well as the elimination of NWEA MAP testing.

Sites will be provided additional new funds for athletics that can be used as the site decides to help cover athletic officiating, intramurals or whatever else is needed.

District Attendance Specialist
Human Resources Technician-Recruiting Technician
Human Resources Technician III
Lead Groundsworker
Lead Maintenance Technician (not attached)
Maintenance Technician
Maintenance Technician Locksmith
Programmer Analyst

SRTA supports the approval of these negotiated job descriptions.

F.9. (Action) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between SRCS and SRTA Regarding Counselor Workload due to Waivers

The District shall provide High School Counselors with five (5) per diem days each, retroactively, for processing Math and LOTE Waivers.

If graduation requirements are added or amended during the 2024/25 school year that require additional meetings and workload to process, counselors will be compensated at the same rate.

SRTA appreciates this MOU and wants to remind the Board that no matter what the timeline that new policy is approved, the workload added to counselors the last five years to track graduation and offer/meet/ collect one or more of three approved waivers or complete a custom grad plan for students with an IEP is not a realistic or sustainable policy. It would be helpful if implementation timelines were considered as part of a collaborative process to allow the changes to be incorporated in the normal run of things. Students choose classes in January/February when all students meet with counselors. Any changes to course offerings or graduation requirements or waivers after that date require additional student meetings.

F.10. (Action) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between SRCS and SRTA Regarding Extended Pay Rate for School Psychologists

Similar to extended day for teachers, extended day for School Psychologists work will be calculated as .0007975 of Level 1, Step 4

SRTA supports this negotiated MOU.

F.11. (Action) Approval of a Subsequent Variable Term Waiver for a Pupil Personnel Services Credential for Angelica Montalvan

VTW #1 for 2024-25

VTW Application

F.12. (Action) Approval of the Specification of the Election Order Resolution for November 2024 Election

SRTA hopes there are folks willing to step up and serve by running for our school board.

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 110 current postings for 177 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 33 certificated openings (ten more than the last meeting.) There are no certificated management openings (one less than the last meeting.) There are 144 current classified postings, and no classified management positions (fifty-two more than the last meeting.) Seventy-nine of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals (the same as the last meeting.)

There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.

SRTA welcomes Ryan Branche (EAHS) and welcomes back Michael Milbrath (SRCSA.)

SRTA bids farewell to folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Kathryn Faircloth (MCHS), Breanne Cassells (SRHS), Terrence Bell (PHS), Nicole Albini (SLES), Lauren Liotta (EAHS), Christopher LaBerge (CCLA), Christie Rose (MCHS), Samantha Kim (SLES), Yosan Zeweldi (EAHS), Mina Duffy (SPSV) and Jonathan Kendall (SPSV.) They leave taking 68 years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students. Know you will be missed.

Danita Haynes (H&H), Rose Morgan (LBES) and Doug Gibson (EAHS) have retired after sixty-four years of service to our students. Know your impact and dedication are appreciated. SRTA wishes them the best in retirement.

SRTA appreciates the approval of reduced workloads and requests for leave.

Twenty certificated staff are transferring to new positions.

Administrative movement includes the following new hires: Elizabeth Stevenson RVMS AP and Hector Soto Brook Hill Principal.

Changes to classified staff include six new hires, two probationary releases, two promotions, five resignations with 29 years of service and two retirements with 63 years of service. This is a net loss of three employees.

With 172 staff leaving over the course of this year due to resignations and retirements, one thousand five hundred ten years of experience leaves us. This puts a strain on those with seniority that remain. There are not sufficient supported systems for passing on historical and practical knowledge to the two hundred fifty two new hires.

Total value of contracts = $

In addition to the $540,998 contract to digitize and organize files, the extension of the contract with Left Coast Scanning seems an unusual choice during this time of dramatic cuts.

How was the contract with Acosta evaluated? SRTA was informed that Truss Leadership will be subcontracted through Acosta. That is not stipulated in the contract.

MCHS is picking up a CEP class. With such limited space, could the SELPA contract be moved to another site?

The shift in website providers has had difficulties. A comprehensive plan including remuneration for work done on site websites is needed.

It is agreed that streamlined processes would benefit the SRCS HR system. Informed K12 was said to be phased out as an expanded contract with Frontline would be able to be utilized for this. Have plans changed? This contract is for 229% of last year’s contract, yet it covers 10 new forms just as the last contract did.

G.7. College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership Agreement

The CCAP Partnership Agreement would enable Santa Rosa City Schools’ students to enroll in Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) courses offered on a high school campus during school hours. CCAP agreements are dual enrollment opportunities that are explicitly entered into by school districts through BOE action by adopting Memorandums of Understanding between the district and the partner Junior College. This is intended to support Elsie Allen High School to expand early college access and credit opportunities.

SRTA expects to bargain the impact and implementation of this change to working conditions.

League Rep Form

G.9. Approval of Magnolia Global Academy For Leaders Contract

In an effort to expand work-based learning activities in middle school, this contract supports a pilot career exploration program connected to an existing College and Career Readiness course at Santa Rosa Middle School. The existing course provides middle school students the opportunity to explore potential careers, establish educational and career goals aligned to interests, and strengthens alignment to the Career Technical Education programs offered in high school. The services provided in the contract will enhance and compliment the course curriculum and support work-based learning as an instructional strategy.

G.10. Approval of Otus Proposal

Next year will be the second year of a multiple year initiative in support of Equity Based Grading at Elsie Allen. The OTUS platform will allow teachers to use standards-based rubrics and progressions to assess student work and will integrate with the AERIES system. Currently AERIES does not support these equity based grading approaches.

This contract will be paid by Elsie Allen Site CSI monies.

Total Cost: $10,000.00

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.

SRTA is celebrating a Tentative Agreement with SRCS. It is expected that a new contract can be ratified before we go into summer break. There is appreciation for everyone who helped facilitate this agreement.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. (Action) Resolution Reaffirming Support for LGBTQIA+ Community

Resolution includes, “Professional development opportunities shall be provided to District staff to enhance their understanding of LGBTQIA+ issues, develop inclusive teaching practices, and create supportive classroom environments.”

F.2. (Action) Accept the Measure I, L, C and G Citizens’ Oversight Committee Annual Reports and Audit Reports

The Citizens’ Oversight Committee(s) is only involved with the approval of bond spending. They are tasked with approving the use of bond funds to reimburse the district for funds already spent. It appears that this report closes out funds from measures I and L.

Bond Measure Audit Reports (I) (L) (C) (G)

Annual Reports (C&G) (I&L)

F.3. (Discussion/Action) Parcel Tax Next Steps

This item was rolled over from the last regular board meeting. It is expected that feelers with the community would be explored and shared at this meeting regarding a Parcel Tax allowing an informed decision on next steps.

SRTA expects this effort to be shelved. It is hoped that the board can oversee the development of a SRCS environment where a future parcel tax can pass with ease.

F.4. (Action) 2023-24 Third Interim Financial Report and Information on the Governor’s May Revision to the 2024-25 Proposed State Budget

$8.3 million is said to be saved by eliminating Particular Kinds of Services (positions). An additional $5 million in unidentified fiscal stabilization measures are included in the 24-25 school year projections.

Financial Report

Overview

Over $13,000 was spent to defend members of the certificated bargaining unit during the RIF process. How much did these RIFS cost SRCS in legal fees? Where does this type of item get tucked into this budget update?

The board has approved the elimination of 82.75 FTE positions and released 23 people from service.

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 116 current postings for 176 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 23 certificated openings (two less than the last meeting.) There is one certificated management opening (two less than the last meeting.) There are 92 current classified postings, and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.) Seventy-nine of these openings are for assistants and paraprofessionals.

There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.

SRTA bids farewell to folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Sara Duckart (JMES), Rachel Spector (EdServ), James Baptista (MCHS), Maleni Carrillo Gomez (LBES), Joshua Motchar (ABES) and Maille McCalister (EAHS.) They leave taking 30 years of knowledge and service with them. Thank you for all you did for our students. Know you will be missed.

SRTA appreciates the approval of a LOA.

Administrative movement includes the following new to their positions: Debra LaPrath SRMS Asst. Principal, Ryan Thompson PHS Vice Principal, Jill Finnerty SRHS Asst. Principal and the resignation of Isaac Murillo Estrada SRHS Asst. Principal.

Aside from summer school positions, the only ongoing change to classified staff is a termination.

Summary of Contracts

Contracts It is appreciated that there are dividers in this upload making it easy to find particular contracts within the pdf.

At each site, one set of HS restrooms underwent remodels last year for about $250,000. This set of contracts includes designs for all-access restrooms expected to run over one million dollars per site. Can it be confirmed that the all-access restrooms are separate restrooms and will not involve gutting these newly remodeled restrooms?

There are contracts for design through closeout architectural services for two sites totaling $394,000 and schematics for eight sites for $251,800. It looks like there will be design thru close out contracts for these eight sites in the future. The total cost for the ten restrooms is estimated to be $16.35 million.

G.7. Approval of Oliver’s Market Agreement

The Board will consider approval of an Memorandum Of Understanding with Oliver’s Market for competitive integrated employment work opportunities with the Santa Rosa City School’s 18-22 Transition Program to support vocational skills training for students with disabilities.

Cost to the district is not specified.

SRCS is stated to be assuming all costs associated with this agreement. SRCS will pay up to six students minimum wage for up to five hours per day for up to five days per week. A maximum of $46,642.50 is to be reimbursed by Olivers Market, Montecito Center to cover minimum wage for these students.

SRTA celebrates this vocational training for our students, while being assured that employees will not be displaced by this program.

G.8. Approval of Beyond Equity in Education

This contract is with Dr. Bay Jones for facilitation work with the board around the Strategic Priorities.

Cost: $250 per hour with a maximum of $10,000.

SRTA understands the mission and vision are overarching. SRCS would benefit from more focused priorities with clear metrics perhaps with a shorter duration to guide the work of the district in a less ambiguous way.

G.9. Integrated Math 1P Focus with Math 2P Foundations

This two-year course will cover all of Math 1 standards and bridge to Math 2 standards by the end of the second year. The titles for the two years will be: Year 1: Integrated Math 1P Focus, Year 2: Integrated Math 1P+ Focus with Math 2 Foundations.

The intent is that this course will meet 2 years of the SRCS math graduation requirements: Math 1 and 1-year beyond Math 1.

Course Proposal

SRTA encourages the approval of this course.

G.10. Integrated Math 2P Modeling in Our World (MOW)

UC admissions for current sophomores requires Math 1 through Math 3 with grades of C or better. SRCS supports students moving on in math if they have credit from Math 1 (as long as they do not fail.) This course gives students with a weaker foundation a better chance of passing Math 2 than the traditional course. It is intended for students articulating to an alternative Math 3 course, such as Algebra with Financial Applications, Statistical Reasoning in Sports, or Statistics for Social Justice. This course is not intended for students wishing to complete Math 3.

Course Proposal

SRTA encourages the approval of this course. Implementation will require further work to create specific lessons. The course proposal writing team asked for ongoing funding for supplies to allow the course to be more hands-on.

G.11. Approval of SGI Ethnic Studies Course Proposal

This new course is designed to give students the opportunity to meet both an Ethnic Studies requirement and an ELA requirement in the same academic year with small group instruction.

Course Proposal

SRTA encourages the approval of this course.

Is there an Honors Sophomore year Ethnic Studies course also on its way to the board?

G.12. Approval of the Student Representative to the Board of Education for 2024/2025 School Year

Omé Zúñiga is from Santa Rosa High School. Regular board attendees will recognize Mr. Zúñiga.

G.23. Approval of The Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma-Marin For Expanded Learning Programs

The Board will consider approval of a contract to offer after-school, expanded learning programs to approximately 1,661 students at 12 sites (9 elementary, 2 K-8 and 1 middle) for the 2024-2025 instructional school year. Participating sites include: Biella, Brook Hill, Luther Burbank, Helen Lehman, Lincoln, James Monroe, Steele Lane, Proctor Terrace, Hidden Valley, CCLA, Arts Charter and Comstock.

SRCS has a limited budget. SRCS has limited manpower. It is time to hone our focus and energies to establish systems for implementing identified essential actions for the district.

“How can I create time for the most important things instead of trying to do as many things as possible?”

― Angela Watson, Fewer Things, Better: The Courage to Focus on What Matters Most

J1. Future Board Discussion Items

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

LCAP Public Hearings (6/12/24)
Public Hearing on 2024/2025 District Budget (6/12/24)

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

Officially Closing Learning House
MAP Testing (Board request 8/23/23)

At one meeting, the fact that a certain percentage of math and English teachers had given this test last year was presented by SRCS as evidence that the test is good, and teachers supported giving it. This is not logical nor accurate. The legitimate concerns teachers have shared about this assessment have been dismissed. The meeting teachers had with a district representative last year about alternative assessment possibilities appears to have been to no effect.

The longitudinal CAASPP data has clearly identified concerns about student performance. Current efforts could be better spent addressing those academic concerns, instead of collecting more data. This is especially frustrating when the MAP assessment isn’t seen as helpful for students or teachers.

Thank you to Directors Medina and De La Cruz for requesting more information on this assessment. SRTA members look forward to this agenda item.

SRACS Accelerated Charter Material Revision Request (delayed)
Unification/Redistricting Decision
Plan for Staff Housing support program from the proceeds of Fir Ridge

SRTA appreciates this information.

J.5. College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Partnership Agreement

The CCAP Partnership Agreement would enable Santa Rosa City Schools’ students to enroll in Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) courses offered on a high school campus during school hours. It is important to stress that CCAP agreements do not reduce public school district full-time equivalents and therefore, do not impact school site section allocation. This explicitly means that CCAP agreements protect K-12 education employment and guarantee the protection of FTE. Students who successfully pass a dual enrollment course would earn both high school and college credit. SRJC courses are weighted and have a positive GPA for students successfully passing courses.

The College and Career Access Pathway Grant will cover instructional materials and curriculum costs associated with CCAP courses offered through this agreement.

CCAP MOUSRTA was recently assured dual enrollment was on a slow roll.

Transacciones de personal

EdJoin muestra un total de 116 publicaciones actuales para 176 puestos vacantes para SRCS. Hay 23 vacantes certificadas (dos menos que la última reunión). Hay una vacante gerencial certificada (dos menos que la última reunión). Hay 92 puestos clasificados actuales y ningún puesto gerencial clasificado (el mismo que en la última reunión). Setenta y nueve de estas vacantes son para asistentes y paraprofesionales.

Todavía hay un problema con EdJoin que muestra las vacantes de la Diócesis Católica de Santa Rosa dentro de la búsqueda de SRCS este mes que en realidad son para la escuela St. Vincent DePaul.

SRTA se despide de las personas que renunciarán a finales de este año. Sara Duckart (JMES), Rachel Spector (EdServ), James Baptista (MCHS), Maleni Carrillo Gomez (LBES), Joshua Motchar (ABES) y Maille McCalister (EAHS). Se van llevándose 30 años de conocimiento y servicio. Gracias por todo lo que hizo por nuestros estudiantes. Sepan que los extrañaremos.

SRTA agradece la aprobación de una LOA.

El movimiento administrativo incluye a las siguientes personas nuevas en sus puestos: Debra LaPrath SRMS Asst. Director, Ryan Thompson Subdirector de PHS, Jill Finnerty Asistente de SRHS. Director y renuncia de Isaac Murillo Estrada SRHS Asst. Principal.

Aparte de los puestos de la escuela de verano, el único cambio actual en el personal clasificado es el despido.

En cada sitio, un juego de baños de HS fue remodelado el año pasado por alrededor de $250,000. Este conjunto de contratos incluye diseños para baños de acceso total que se espera que cuesten más de un millón de dólares por sitio. ¿Se puede confirmar que los baños de acceso total son baños separados y no implicarán destripar estos baños recientemente remodelados?

Hay contratos de diseño hasta servicios arquitectónicos de liquidación para dos sitios por un total de $394,000 y esquemas para ocho sitios por $251,800. Parece que habrá contratos de diseño hasta cierre para estos ocho sitios en el futuro. El costo total de los diez baños se estima en $16,35 millones.

G.7. Aprobación del Acuerdo de Mercado de Oliver

La Mesa Directa considerará la aprobación de un Memorando de Entendimiento con Oliver’s Market para oportunidades laborales competitivas e integradas con el Programa de Transición 18-22 de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa para apoyar la capacitación de habilidades vocacionales para estudiantes con discapacidades.

El costo para el distrito no está especificado.

Acuerdo

Se declara que SRCS asumirá todos los costos asociados con este acuerdo. SRCS pagará hasta seis estudiantes el salario mínimo por hasta cinco horas por día durante un máximo de cinco días por semana. Olivers Market, Montecito Center reembolsará un máximo de $46,642.50 para cubrir el salario mínimo de estos estudiantes.

SRTA celebra esta capacitación vocacional para nuestros estudiantes, al tiempo que garantiza que los empleados no serán desplazados por este programa.

G.8. Aprobación de Más allá de la Equidad en la Educación

Este contrato es con el Dr. Bay Jones para el trabajo de facilitación con la Mesa Directa en torno a las Prioridades Estratégicas.

Costo: $250 por hora con un máximo de $10,000.

SRTA entiende que la misión y la visión son generales. SRCS se beneficiaría de prioridades más enfocadas con métricas claras, quizás con una duración más corta, para guiar el trabajo del distrito de una manera menos ambigua.

G.9. Enfoque integrado de Matemáticas 1P con fundamentos de Matemáticas 2P

Este curso de dos años cubrirá todos los estándares de Matemáticas 1 y se unirá a los estándares de Matemáticas 2 al final del segundo año. Los títulos para los dos años serán: Año 1: Enfoque integrado en Matemáticas 1P, Año 2: Enfoque integrado en Matemáticas 1P+ con Fundamentos de Matemáticas 2.

La intención es que este curso cumpla con 2 años de los requisitos de graduación de matemáticas de SRCS: Matemáticas 1 y 1 año más allá de Matemáticas 1.

Propuesta de curso

SRTA alienta la aprobación de este curso.

G.10. Modelado integrado de matemáticas 2P en nuestro mundo (MOW)

Las admisiones a la UC para estudiantes actuales de segundo año requieren Matemáticas 1 a Matemáticas 3 con calificaciones de C o mejores. SRCS apoya a los estudiantes que avanzan en matemáticas si tienen crédito de Matemáticas 1 (siempre que no reprueben). Este curso brinda a los estudiantes con una base más débil una mejor oportunidad de aprobar Matemáticas 2 que el curso tradicional. Está destinado a estudiantes que se articulan con un curso alternativo de Matemáticas 3, como Álgebra con aplicaciones financieras, Razonamiento estadístico en deportes o Estadística para la justicia social. Este curso no está destinado a estudiantes que deseen completar Matemáticas 3.

Propuesta de curso

SRTA alienta la aprobación de este curso. La implementación requerirá más trabajo para crear lecciones específicas. El equipo de redacción de la propuesta del curso solicitó financiación continua para suministros que permitieran que el curso fuera más práctico.

G.11. Aprobación de la propuesta del curso de Estudios Étnicos de la SGI

Este nuevo curso está diseñado para brindarles a los estudiantes la oportunidad de cumplir con un requisito de Estudios Étnicos y un requisito de ELA en el mismo año académico con instrucción en grupos pequeños.

Propuesta de curso

SRTA alienta la aprobación de este curso.

¿Hay también un curso de Estudios Étnicos de segundo año con honores en camino a la Mesa Directa directiva?

G.12. Aprobación del Representante Estudiantil ante la Mesa Directa de Educación para el año escolar 2024/2025

SRCS tiene un presupuesto limitado. SRCS tiene mano de obra limitada. Es hora de perfeccionar nuestro enfoque y energías para establecer sistemas para implementar acciones esenciales identificadas para el distrito.

J1. Temas de discusión futuros de la Mesa Directa directiva

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

Audiencias públicas del LCAP (6/12/24))
Audiencia pública sobre el presupuesto distrital 2024/2025 (6/12/24)

SRTA espera la programación futura de los siguientes elementos:

Cerrando oficialmente la Casa de Aprendizaje
Prueba MAP (solicitud de la Mesa Directa 8/23/23)

En una reunión, el hecho de que un cierto porcentaje de profesores de matemáticas e inglés hubieran dado este examen el año pasado fue presentado por SRCS como evidencia de que el examen es bueno, y los maestros apoyaron su realización. Esto no es lógico ni exacto. Se han descartado las preocupaciones legítimas que los profesores han compartido sobre esta evaluación. La reunión que los profesores mantuvieron con un representante del distrito el año pasado sobre posibilidades de evaluación alternativas parece no haber tenido ningún efecto.

Los datos longitudinales del CAASPP han identificado claramente preocupaciones sobre el desempeño de los estudiantes. Se podrían invertir mejor los esfuerzos actuales en abordar esas preocupaciones académicas, en lugar de recopilar más datos. Esto es especialmente frustrante cuando la evaluación MAP no se considera útil para los estudiantes o los profesores.

Gracias a los directores Medina y De La Cruz por solicitar más información sobre esta evaluación. Los miembros de SRTA esperan con interés este punto de la agenda.

Solicitud de revisión acelerada del material del estatuto de SRACS (retrasada)
Decisión de unificación/redistribución de distritos
Plan para el programa de apoyo a la vivienda del personal con los ingresos de Fir Ridge

Hasta que el distrito tome una decisión, los ingresos de la venta se quedan quietos y pierden valor a medida que el coste de la vivienda sigue aumentando. Iniciar un programa podría ayudar a la SRCS a atraer y retener personal. El potencial de los fondos disminuye con el paso del tiempo.

J.5. Acuerdo de asociación de vías de acceso a la universidad y la carrera (CCAP)

El Acuerdo de Asociación CCAP permitiría a los estudiantes de las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa inscribirse en cursos de Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) ofrecidos en el campus de una escuela secundaria durante el horario escolar. Es importante enfatizar que los acuerdos CCAP no reducen los equivalentes de tiempo completo de los distritos escolares públicos y, por lo tanto, no afectan la asignación de secciones del sitio escolar. Esto significa explícitamente que los acuerdos CCAP protegen el empleo en educación K-12 y garantizan la protección de los FTE. Los estudiantes que aprueben con éxito un curso de inscripción dual obtendrán créditos tanto para la escuela secundaria como para la universidad. Los cursos SRJC están ponderados y tienen un GPA positivo para los estudiantes que aprueban los cursos con éxito.

La subvención para el acceso a la universidad y la carrera cubrirá los materiales educativos y los costos del plan de estudios asociados con los cursos CCAP ofrecidos a través de este acuerdo.

MdE CCAP

Recientemente se aseguró a la SRTA que la inscripción dual estaba en marcha lenta.

B.4. Conference With Legal Counsel – Existing Litigation (Case name: In Re: Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Products Liability Litigation; 24CV-00520; 23CV-00397 )

This Complaint is filed on behalf of children who suffered personal injuries—and, in cases of death, the personal representatives of their estates (“Plaintiffs”)—due to their use of Defendants’ products and, where applicable, their parents, guardians, spouses, children, siblings, and close family members, who suffered loss of society or consortium and other injuries as a consequence of the harms to Plaintiffs (Meta, Snap, Byte Dance, TicTok and Google.)

The resulting ubiquity of Defendants’ products in the lives and palms of our kids, and the ensuing harm to them, is hard to overstate. Today, over a third of 13- to 17-year-old kids report using one of Defendants’ apps “almost constantly” and admit this is “too much.” Yet more than half of these kids report that they would struggle to cut back on their social media use. Instead of feeding coins into machines, kids are feeding Defendants’ platforms with an endless supply of attention, time, and data.

D.6. DELAC Report

E. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

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.

Members are encouraged to share personal understandings of how these pillars are essential to improving the student experience with SRCS. There is appreciation that the last round of negotiations was productive. SRTA members expect to end this school year with a ratified new contract. This requires prompt resolution to remaining outstanding items.

SRTA is celebrating agreements with SRCS on Article 8 (School Safety) as well as Articles 6, 9, and 11 and a conceptual agreement on student caps. We are hopeful that a Tentative Agreement can be reached this week so a new contract can be ratified before we go into summer break.

SRTA’s 4 Pillars:

Safe Schools for All

Mental Health Support

Prevent Violence

Relevant and Engaging Schools

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

There is a clear system for honoring special days and months with resolutions. There is no system for encouraging action to back up these resolutions. Only a fraction of stakeholders tune into board meetings, and their hearing a resolution has little impact.

SRCS has a limited budget. SRCS has limited manpower. It is time to hone our focus and energies to establish systems for implementing identified essential actions for the district.

“How can I create time for the most important things instead of trying to do as many things as possible?”

― Angela Watson, Fewer Things, Better: The Courage to Focus on What Matters Most

F.1. (Action) Resolution Recognizing National School Nurse Day

SRCS School Nurse Team. They are:

Nicholo Atup
Amanda Arend
Cheryl Closser
Heather Ginnever
Elizabeth Munns
Alison O’Herlihy
Jennifer Rodriguez
Sangmo Witzman

Please take a moment to thank your school nurse for all they do! Next year we are starting SCOE take backs of medically fragile students. Our nurses wonder how this will be supported with only 1 district LVN and even utilizing staffing agencies is not enough to meet our current nursing needs. The district has no plans to add additional nurses to support these new students. Nurses also want staff serving these students CPR trained.

F.2. (Action) Resolution Recognizing May as the Month of Better Hearing and Speech

SRCS Speech-Language Pathologists:

Tessa Bronner
Guillaume Burel
Amanda Call
Macey Lomeli
Peter Lounibos
Anna Lundborg
Jamie Mariscal
Mark McLay
Koa Morgan
Jennifer Nevolo-Alwood
Jill Pettit
Nora Pike
Patrick Pike
Steven Schultz
Angie Thompson
Danielle Ullyott
Taylor VanBebber
Anna Weston

Thank you to our SLPs for the work you do with our students. We are currently short staffed with regard to SLPs and have had to move to using telehealth online speech services with an outside vendor through a zoom like model at many of our sites.

F.3. (Action) Resolution for Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental Health Toolkit

Panorama Data has been shared with staff. What are the expectations for reviewing and using this data and the resources available on this platform? Without a clear vision and an implementation plan supported with time and training, these efforts reap far less impact than they could.

F.4. (Discussion) Safe Routes to Schools Program Update

Elementary programs: 2nd Grade Pedestrian Safety, 4th Grade Bike Basics, 5th Grade Mapping & Communication and Bike Rodeos.

Sites participating: CCLA, HCMS, HLES, JMES, PHS, HVES, PTES, SRCArts and SRFACS.

Wednesday May 22 from 10:30 – 12 there is a Zoom meeting for SRCS to give feedback to the Santa Rosa’ City Safe Routes to School Task Force.

This program relies on a volunteer Champion Teacher at each site. This is not a sustainable model for running a program. If this program is worth having, it is worth supporting in a sustainable way with paid staffing.

F.5. (Discussion/Action) Parcel Tax Next Steps

Parcel taxes may be structured as a flat rate per parcel or on a square footage basis. There are exemptions available for certain populations and a maximum assessment can be set when square footage is used as the basis.

Parcel taxes must pass by a 2/3 vote. Additionally, the funds may not be used for administrator salaries, and an oversight committee is required, similar to general obligation bonds.

If the Board wishes to move forward with a potential parcel tax measure, additional polling would be recommended. Additionally, a resolution would need to be presented for consideration in June 2024 in order to meet election timelines.

A neighboring district recently passed a bond measure for which the priorities were clearly specified prior to the vote. How much of the parcel tax could be guaranteed to raise salaries to attract and retain the highly qualified staff our students deserve? It is much more difficult to support a Parcel Tax when all the details are left to be worked out later, when historically the decisions for bond spending are made lacking transparency.

If a set percentage of the parcel tax would go to equitably raising CSEA 75 wages/benefits, and a set percentage would go to equitably raising SRTA wages/benefits, etc. it would be easier to garner significant support for these efforts.

F.6. (Action) Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators

This declaration must be approved at a regularly scheduled public meeting before Limited Term Assignments and Emergency Permits are issued to certificated staff for the 2024-2025 school year.

Elementary 35 positions (10 Multiple Subject, 10 Single Subject, and 15 SpEd teachers.)

High 42 positions (5 Multiple Subject, 17 Single Subject, and 20 SpEd teachers.)

This is very confusing. The next item is for the layoff of 17 certificated teachers, while this item says we are in such high need of teachers we expect to hire non-fully qualified staff to meet the demand.

F.7. (Action) Final Recommendation for Reduction or Discontinuance of Certain Particular Kinds of Services for the 2024-25 School Year

Prior approved recommendations to reduce or discontinue current, certain particular kinds of services for the 2024-25 school year included:

Elementary

19.2 FTE Classroom Teachers

13 TOSAs

Secondary

10 FTE Middle School Classroom Teachers

22.15 High School Teachers

Other

14.3 Administrators

These positions were eliminated by board action to ‘right size’ our district.

Discontinuing PKS Feb 28

PKS March 13

This item states following the guidelines of the approved prior resolutions we have determined that at this point in time, 17.0 FTE classroom teachers and 8.3 FTE administrative positions are the final numbers recommended for reduction or discontinuance. The resolution includes names of people being released. The 8.3 FTE Admin is actually 6 FTE (see below.)

9. Kim Craven**

10. Johanna Koehle**

* Took another position in the district

** Has another position in the district

This item is listed as Particular Kinds of Services, but the resolution is for particular employees, not positions. There were nearly 79 positions that were eliminated by board action in February and March. Which of those positions are actually eliminated?

SRCS sent RIF notifications to 71 certificated employees. To date the district has rescinded all but the above 17 of these. This over notification of 54 SRTA members caused a great deal of unnecessary chaos, extreme stress, and hard feelings.

The district signed a settlement providing released SRTA members with 3 months of medical benefits for which we are grateful.

Several of those notified rightly went and found jobs in other districts. Some of these have yet to notify SRCS of their resignations. This loss was preventable.

Those people who received RIF notices (that were not rescinded) are the first on the list to be rehired should an opening occur. This placement is done in order of seniority, offering positions that folks are credentialed for.

SRTA feels the pain of our members impacted by this, and the pain of their students at their loss at our sites.

F.8. (Action) Resolution No. 2023-24-68 Reduction in Classified Work Force Involving California School Employees (CSEA) Chapter 75 for the 2024-24 School Year

This is for the elimination of 3.2 Classified FTE. Included in this list is the Child Care Supervisor Position.

SRCS provides childcare through the Boys and Girls club, supported by federal funding. SRCS also has run a fee for service childcare program. Childcare remains a crucial issue for Santa Rosa, per the Metro Chamber of Commerce. SRCS is uniquely situated to help provide necessary high quality childcare to families in our community. Recently the SRCS program has run at a deficit because they have undercharged for this service, failing to adjust their fees to cover rising costs. It is prudent to adjust the fees for this program. Does eliminating the Supervisor indicate eliminating the pay for service childcare program, putting a further burden on our community?

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 107 current postings for 168 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 25 certificated openings (two more than the last meeting.) There are three certificated management openings (the same as the last meeting.) There are 107 current classified postings, and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.) Fifty-one of these positions are for assistants and paraprofessionals.

There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.

SRTA bids farewell to two folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Brenda Johnson (RVMS), Margaret Scherfee (ALES), Rocio Miscio (EDSERV) leave us with a combined seventeen years of service. Thank you for all you did for our students. Know you will be missed.

Administrative movement includes Daryl Coryell appointed as Interim Principal of RVMS as of the end of April. Resignations include Timothy Zalunardo Executive Director of Educational Services who leaves us for SCOE, Superintendent Anna Trunnell who leaves us to be the new Superintendent of Galt Joint Union High School District, and

Principal of Brook Hill Indy Monday who is moving to another district. They take thirty-six and a half years of institutional knowledge with them. SRCS Thanks them for their service, and wishes them well with their new endeavors.

There is one supervisory resignation for a School Based Therapist.

This month’s changes to classified staff include two terminations, two releases, one new hire, eight resignations, and one retirement. A combined nearly 36 years of service and institutional knowledge leaves us with these changes. Thank you for your service.

Recently, public comments have been welcome during this item.

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.

SRTA is standing firm on our Four Pillars:

Safe Schools for All

Our schools must be safe for all students and staff.

Provide adequate trained security personnel at secondary sites.
Create a District Safety Committee. to adopt a comprehensive “School Safety Plan” and an “Injury and Illness Prevention Plan.”
Arrest and expel students that have weapons on our campuses.
Provide First aid equipment and walkie talkies to all staff
The District will provide a procedure for reporting alleged unsafe and unhealthy conditions to management.
Upon notification, the District shall eliminate or correct unsafe or hazardous working conditions

Mental Health Support

The mental health and social-emotional needs of students and staff must be cared for.

Decrease school counselors ratio
Limit School Psych caseload
The District shall offer mental health and trauma support services to students who experience assault, battery, or who are witness to a traumatic event

Prevent Violence

Preventing violence before it occurs must be a focus for all schools.

The District shall provide professional development on a voluntary basis to unit members wishing training on how to subdue assaultive students, break up fights between students, and to use conflict intervention skills
Create and maintain a Site safety plan at each site to address the prevention of school and worksite crime and violence and that promotes safety, a positive school and worksite climate, has high standards of student conduct, contains school-wide expectations, and contains progressive discipline plans for student behavior.
The district will follow ed-code regarding discipline and suspension.

Relevant and Engaging Schools

Schools must be relevant and engaging. We must be able to attract and retain the best teachers to connect with students.

Reduce K classes to 26
Cap combo classes at 20 K-3 and 26 4th -6th
Increase salary to $6000 per cell in 24/25 with 4% increases in 25/26 and 27/28
Increase health care contribution to 100% for individuals, 65% for employee plus one and 55% for families with additional increases the following years.
Increase pay for elementary Lead Teachers who keep students safe while site admin is absent

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

It is time to hone our focus and energies to establish systems for implementing identified essential actions for the district.

F.1. (Action) Resolution for May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

There is a rich history and struggles of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in the U.S. with significant contributions. There is acknowledgment of discriminatory laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act and the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII and ongoing challenges of racism. Despite adversity, this resolution celebrates AAPI Heritage Month, focusing on the theme of “Advancing Leaders Through Innovation” and the importance of recognizing and empowering AAPI contributions.

Teacher Resources

F.2. (Action) Resolution for Teacher Appreciation Week May 6-10, 2024

Teachers shape the future by educating and inspiring students across various fields. Their role is crucial in molding young minds and fostering growth in our community. As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, it’s essential to recognize their dedication and the profound impact they have on individuals and society. Teachers serve as role models, imparting knowledge, guidance, and encouragement to students, ultimately shaping their paths and instilling a sense of dedication and possibility. Their influence extends far beyond the classroom, making them invaluable contributors to our collective future.

F.3. (Action) Resolution for Classified School Employee Week May 19-25, 2024

These individuals play essential roles in the daily functioning of Santa Rosa City Schools, ensuring operations run smoothly and students receive necessary support. Amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have shown exceptional dedication in maintaining school safety, providing services, and supporting the educational community. Let’s express our gratitude to these dedicated employees for their commitment to our schools’ success.

F.4. (Action) Resolution Recognizing Guest Teacher Appreciation in May 2024

Among our 329 Guest Teachers, many have served Santa Rosa City Schools for more than 25 years. Approximately 11% of them have been with us for over a decade. Some are retired teachers who return to support us. These educational heroes have covered nearly 12,000 classroom assignments, ensuring productive learning even on short notice. Despite the challenges of their role, they prioritize the educational needs of our students. Thank you to our Guest Teachers for being invaluable members of our educational team.

F.5. (Discussion) Panorama Survey/YouthTruth Survey/Attendance/Discipline

SRCS utilizes two surveys to assess student and staff well-being: the Panorama Education Survey for social-emotional learning (SEL) and the YouthTruth Culture and Climate Survey for students, families, and staff.

The Panorama Survey, implemented since fall 2021, assesses student SEL and guides interventions through a strengths-based approach. It supports SRCS’s Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) by identifying students in need and informing Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions.

The YouthTruth survey, sponsored by Sonoma County Office of Education and community organizations, gathers anonymous feedback on engagement, relationships, and academic challenges. Since spring 2019, SRCS has used this data to enhance school experiences, inform the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), and measure the efficacy of various actions.

Additionally, SRCS analyzes discipline and attendance data to inform decision-making on policies, programs, services, and budgets. This holistic approach aims to foster a deeper understanding of district-wide trends and support ongoing improvement efforts.

Presentation

Panorama data shows student self assessment of social-emotional health drops as age increases. Students identifying as American Indian and Alaska Native as well as EL and at risk for long term EL are far below other groups.

Youth Truth data shows a consistent decrease in perception of feeling safe at school.

Suspension data shows 6% of students have been suspended this year. 73% of those were only suspended once. One in seven American Indian and Alaska Native students (14%) has been suspended. The most common reasons for suspensions are physical injury and intoxication. In general, last year’s numbers were much higher, and this year’s rates are similar to the year before that.

27% of students are Chronically Absent, meaning they miss more than 10% of school days. American Indian and Alaska Native students are the most likely to miss more than 20% of school days.

The presentation of this data is appreciated. Without the context of programs and systems in place, it all leads to questions of “Now what?”

F.5. & 6. Public Hearing/(Action) Approval of Resolution No. 2023/24-35 Elementary District and No. 2023/24-36 High District to Establish/Increase SRCS Developer Fee Rates

Fee rate maximums are set by the state. The district can only charge what is justified by a study. Total fees are split 70% elementary and 30% secondary. Generally speaking, the State “matches” (roughly doubles) each dollar of developer fee money the District receives. To achieve the same “match” without developer fees, the District would need to rely on finding additional funding from other local sources, such as bonds. Developer fees for the last 3 years:

FY 2020-21 $ 2,188,961.32

FY 2021-22 $ 2,473,566.62

FY 2022-23 $ 2,517,819.05

(FY 2016-17 $ 870,382)

Proposed change to fees:

fee	Residential			Commercial
/SF	2017	2024	Change	2017	2024	Change
ES	$2.44	$2.74	$0.30	$0.39	$0.59	$0.20
HS	$1.04	$1.55	$0.51	$0.17	$0.25	$0.08

HS Resolution

ES Resolution

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 101 current postings for 165 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 25 certificated openings (two more than the last meeting.) There are three certificated management openings (three less than the last meeting.) There are 80 current classified postings (sixty-four less than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.) Eighty of these positions are for assistants and paraprofessionals.

There is still an issue with EdJoin showing Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings within the SRCS search this month that are actually for St. Vincent DePaul School.

SRTA bids farewell to two folks who are resigning at the end of this year. Morgan Vermeulen (RVMS) and Fan Wang (RVMS) leave us with a combined three years of service. Thank you for all you did for our students, and know you will be missed.

SRTA congratulates Duane Johnston who has retired after eleven years of service to our students. We wish you a splendid retirement!

Administrative resignations include John Kennedy (PHS), Katheryn McLaughlin (SRMS), and Tim Zalunardo (Director Ed Services.) They take thirty-six and a half years of institutional knowledge with them.

This month’s changes to classified staff include two hires, and two resignations. Thank you for your four years, eight months and fifteen days of service.

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.

SRTA is standing firm on our Four Pillars:

Relevant and Engaging Schools

Schools must be relevant and engaging. We must be able to attract and retain the best teachers to connect with students.

Reduce K classes to 26
Cap combo classes at 20 K-3 and 26 4th -6th
Increase salary to $6000 per cell in 24/25 with 4% increases in 25/26 and 27/28
Increase health care contribution to 100% for individuals, 65% for employee plus one and 55% for families with additional increases the following years.
Increase pay for elementary Lead Teachers who keep students safe while site admin is absent

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. (Action) Resolution in Support of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month

The Board will recognize April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month with an official resolution reflecting the Board’s continued commitment to work within the community to effect change and communicate support for survivors and encourages all faculty, staff, and students to increase their knowledge of the many types of sexual violence and promote an environment of mutual respect and dignity in and outside of their campuses.

F.2. (Action) Resolution Celebrating Child Nutrition Services (CNS) Professionals week of April 29 through May 3, 2024

The District will celebrate School Food Hero Day on Friday, May 3, 2024. This is a chance to showcase the difference child nutrition professionals make for every child who comes through the cafeteria. School Food Hero Day and School Nutrition Employee week provides the perfect opportunity to recognize the hardworking professionals in our school cafeterias. This resolution is for Santa Rosa City Schools Child Nutrition Services (CNS) Professionals for the week of April 29 through May 3, 2024.

F.3. (Discussion) Update on Child Nutrition Services (CNS) Department

Goals for the CNS program:

Hire and retain excellent staff.
Prepare and serve from scratch food that meets students’ needs and reflects the community we serve.
Invest in infrastructure to prepare and serve meals that meet students’ needs. (This is bond funded.)
Nutrition Education and taste testing
Increase farm-to-school agreements and the amount of food grown on or near campus.

This report would benefit from including statistical evidence to demonstrate the progress of the department. In reviewing the personnel reports, CNS has hired seven people this year while having two retirements. There have been no resignations. They have also been able to promote two people within the department to lead positions.

The report does not explain how the millions of dollars of new equipment will support the department in meeting their goals.

There is also no information on how CNS will continue to feed students during the bond funded work at the District Office site.

Hopefully SRCS will include students at all levels in the meal planning and taste testing. There is significant room for improvement in student satisfaction with meal choices and quality.

SRTA encourages the CNS leadership and the Board to visit sites often and eat the currently available meals with our students.

F.4.& 5 Public Hearing and Approval: SRCS District “Sunshine” Proposals for Contract Reopeners with CSEA for 2024-2027

The Board will conduct a legally-required Public Hearing on the proposed Santa Rosa City Schools District “Sunshine” proposal with the California School Employees Association Chapter 75 (CSEA 75) for contract re-openers for 2024-2027. SRCS and CSEA have both opened nine of the same articles of the contract. CSEA has opened an additional two and SRCS has opened an additional three, leaving three articles unopened for this round of negotiations.

CSEA Openers

SRTA encourages a quick and productive resolution to bargaining impacting the workforce that keeps our schools functioning.

G. CONSENT ITEMS

CEQA Exemption

G.8. Approval of School Services of California Contract

Approval of an agreement with School Services of California to assist in creating and facilitating a committee that will be charged with developing criteria and recommending school(s) for consolidation or closure.

SSC proposes the process would encompass approximately seven two-hour Committee meetings as follows:

Organizational Meeting – Discuss the purpose of the Committee and the roles of participants, District staff, and facilitators; and review proposed criteria and scoring methodology
Demographic and Capacity Analysis – Present and review District demographic data and facilities capacity
Facilities – Review school sites, including site information, proximity to other schools, age and condition, proposed or future improvements, etc.
Educational and Student Support Services – Review academic metrics; program, course, and student support service offerings; educational alternatives; and educational status (e.g., educational specification, class loading, student-teacher ratios, etc.)
Fiscal and Other Impacts – Present and review District fiscal considerations, transportation, options for displaced students, etc.
Analysis and Prioritization – Analysis recap and overview, scoring, discussion of alternatives, and determination of Committee recommendations
Draft Report Review – Review and seek input on the draft report

$59,700

SRTA Members of the BAC requested that clear criteria be specified before considering sites for consolidation or closure. This contract could provide this structure.

G.9. Approval of Save Your Six Proposal

Title VI was enacted as part of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.

SRCS has identified the importance of implementing and sustaining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The Save Your Six Title VI Schools and District Training is for educators and administrators who aim to ensure an inclusive, equitable, and Title VI compliant learning environment for all students. SRCS will offer two (2) half-day professional development sessions on April 12 and May 17 to elementary, middle, and high school administrators and district office administrators.

G.10. Approval of Hannah Long Design Agreement

The Board will consider approval of the contract with Hannah Long Designs to provide website development and design expertise in facilitating the migration of the district’s website to the Finalsite platform.

$6,700 Title IV

SRTA Members wonder if further support can be provided to facilitate sites being able to fully utilize the Finalsite platform for school websites.

J1. Future Board Discussion Items

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

Developer Fee Justification Study (~~3/27/24~~ ~~4/10/24~~ 4/24/24)
Panorama/YouthTruth/Attendance/Discipline Data (4/24/24)
Resolution for May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (4/24/24)
Resolution for Classified School Employee Week (4/24/24)
Resolution for Teacher Appreciation Week (4/24/24)
Resolution for Guest Teacher Appreciation (4/24/24)

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

Alternative Education Update (~~4/10/24~~)
A-G Math Waiver Decision

SRTA members are hearing that the implementation around the new A-G waiver decision is being stalled and will be returned to the board for reconsideration. Sites need time to communicate with students and families, adjust course requests and change schedules. This impacts the master schedules, which impacts staffing. Delaying this is putting an undue burden on students and site staff.

There was a complete report from the committee, and their recommendations appear to not be enough. No one will serve on future committees if it becomes commonplace to ignore the work done on committees.

Schools Plus Report (~~10/11/23~~)
Officially Closing Learning House
MAP Testing (Board request 8/23/23)

Thank you to Directors Medina and De La Cruz for requesting more information on this assessment. SRTA members look forward to this agenda item.

F. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

F.1. (Action) Resolution Designating April as School Library Month

School Library Month celebrates the pivotal role of school libraries in fostering growth, knowledge, and lifelong learning within our communities. They provide diverse resources catering to individual needs, interests, and abilities, encouraging collaboration and access to both print and digital materials. Serving as hubs for community building, school libraries are integral to campus life. Ongoing efforts to enhance library services, outlined in a yet to be shared strategic plan, underscore their significance. Recognizing the dedication of library staff honors their positive influence on students and underscores the commitment to nurturing thriving library spaces within schools.

If we truly value our libraries…

They would be staffed with highly qualified teacher librarians, and sufficient support positions.

The Library Strategic Plan, begun in 2020 would be complete, published, and implementation would be underway. (It does not show in a search of board minutes or on the district website.)

Secure and sufficient funding for campus libraries would be equitably established.

F.2. (Action) Resolution Supporting a Ceasefire in Gaza and Promoting Inclusive Education

The resolution highlights the commitment to fostering a safe and respectful learning environment, addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, protecting students’ rights to express views on international issues, supporting diverse perspectives, and communicating this commitment to relevant stakeholders.

SRTA members appreciate the board’s support for making space in our classrooms for balanced and informative discussions on international conflicts, respecting diverse perspectives, and fostering critical thinking.

It is hoped that the communication of this resolution will be the first task within the new communication efforts of the district.

F.3. (Discussion) Communications Strategic Plan

This District Communications Strategic Plan includes a three-year integrated district communication strategy that identifies areas of immediate need and areas of growth. A full work plan of the goals, objectives, strategies, and tactics outlined in the District Communications Strategic Plan will include timelines, resources, and evaluation measures associated with each tactic.

The board approved a $37,250 contract with Sounding Board Marketing & Communications in August.

Three Year Plan (Spanish)

Objective 1: Increase Representation of Student and Staff Voices (Hearts and Minds Campaign)

Objective 2: Expand Communication Accessibility for Families without Electronic Means (targeted outreach)

Objective 3: Implement Consistent and Proactive Communication Practices Across School Sites (develop best practices and protocols)

Objective 4: Strengthen Crisis Communication Protocols

Objective 5: Improve Communication Channels and Customer Service for All Audiences (tailor messages for target audiences, Consider email policies and practices to reduce the volume and reliance of email as a communication method)

Objective 6: AddressInformation Gaps for Employees (ongoing committee)

Objective 7: Improve Transparency and Communication of Committees and Student Group Activities

Objective 8: Increase Communication Office’s Capacity to Provide Proactive District Communications and Increased Media Engagement and Coverage of Positive District Stories

Three Year Plan SRCS District’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) are analyzed from a communications and public relations perspective, based on stakeholder feedback.

Challenges noted include:

School Safety and Lack of Information

Negative Perceptions and Misconceptions about Schools

Diversity in Hiring

Educational Programs and Equity

Communication Challenges

Employee Compensation and Retention

Cumbersome Administrative Processes and Implementation Gaps

Safety Concerns

Financial and Enrollment Concerns

Detailed results from surveys are included.

The full workplan of these goals, objectives, strategies and tactics includes timelines, resources and evaluation measures associated with each tactic is not included.

Communication has been a long time concern. SRTA members appreciate the district addressing this, and facilitating a three year plan. The SWOT is refreshingly reality based. There is an up hill climb to address these challenges.

Training on protocols is not the only necessity for site level implantation. There is a need to go beyond clear expectations that are monitored with appropriate personnel and time. This is an opportunity for SRCS to establish a narrower, clear focus. For best results, something else needs to be removed from the list of expectations to make room for this valuable effort.

Full implementation must include a transparent process for utilizing and communicating impact from information collected during meetings and committees to help overcome the opting out of stakeholders due to not feeling any impact from their efforts.

Bargaining Units will maintain their rights to choose representation for meetings and on committees. Rotating members can lead to a lack of historical knowledge and failure to establish voices that are comfortable broaching difficult conversations.

The need to establish clear protocols for when meetings and committees are paid and when they are volunteer remains.

The district website presence is called out as a place for potential improvement. Implementation of new site websites with the switch of providers has not been smooth, with a need for an agreement about remuneration being required before folks invest any more time into this.

F.4. (Discussion) Expanded and Extracurricular Interventions Report

Credit Recovery and Summer 2024 programming (utilizing monies from the following resources: SPED, ELOG, ELOP and Title I):

High School Credit Recovery* ($533,509)

Newcomer High School Summer Program* ($13,729)
Central Budget ($193,149)

Projected Cost: $3,193,872

Presentation

The after school care is stated to have more than doubled since last year. Can this exceptional growth be elaborated on? What has allowed this program to grow at such a rate?

The high school Credit Recovery program is benefitting 363 students. School Site Copy of Extended Day Credit Recovery FTE states the program is to assist seniors graduating in June of 2024, but the program was extended to all high school students. How was that communicated to relevant stakeholders? What proportion of qualifying students are being served by the programs?

The offering of extensive summer programs by SRCS have been underway for several years. Where are the results of the metrics that are utilized to evaluate the various offerings?

What efforts are expected to get the message out about all the offerings for this summer? How will efforts be made for our families that are not tech connected?

F.5. (Action) Acceptance of the 2022-2023 Independent Audit Report

It is noteworthy that again, like in 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22, the 2022-23 Audit had zero findings, exceptions, or other corrective actions.

Audit

SRTA members strongly support improvements to our classified siblings working conditions and compensation. Their work is absolutely essential to our schools and district.

F.6. (Action) Approval of MOU 2024/25 #2 reached with SRCS and CSEA 75 Regarding the Student Safety Advisor Job Description

This memorandum allows the members of the Student Advisor and Campus Supervisor classifications to reclassify to the Student Safety Advisor classification effective July 1, 2024.

The Student Safety Advisor will be placed on Range 24 of the CSEA 75 Salary Schedule. Currently Campus Supervisors are listed on EdJoin as a school year employee (9 month) at Range 14 ($18.79 per hour.) This change results in a starting salary of $24.66 as a ten month employee.

Administrative Regulation

SRTA appreciates the impact this almost $6 per hour will make in the ability to attract and retain additional adults to help supervise our campuses. The care to the current employees in these positions’ choices is also appreciated, with a guarantee of at least a 10% raise if they choose reclassification.

F.7. (Discussion) Potential Renaming of James Monroe Elementary School and Rincon Valley Middle School

Per the request of the Santa Rosa City Schools’ Board President, the names of James Monroe Elementary School and Rincon Valley Middle School are being brought forward to the Board for possible renaming.

Board Policy

SRTA recalls a lively response from the Monroe community in opposition to renaming, and wonders why this is being brought up again.

One commenter honored Carole Ellis upon her passing and suggested potentially naming a site after her. Not all comments are so taken to heart to merit a board discussion.

Where do Facilities Naming Community Advisory Committees fit into this discussion?

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 103 current postings for job vacancies for SRCS. There is an issue with the Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese openings showing within the SRCS certificated search this month. There are 16 certificated openings (eleven more than the last meeting.) There are three certificated management openings (one more than the last meeting.) There are 81 current classified postings (nine more than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.)

SRTA welcomes one new certificated hire: Olyvia-Jill Schaefer (ALES.) This brings this year’s certificated hires to 140. That is nearly 15% of our certificated workforce.

SRTA bids farewell to six folks who are resigning at the end of this year: Susan LaMacchia (CCLA), Amanda Steele (SRCAS), Russell Fletcher (T&L), Mary Philo (SRCAS), Brenda Smith (LBES) and Samuel Wolffe (ALES) who leave us with a combined nine years of service. Thank you for all you did for our students, and know you will be missed.

SRTA congratulates Susan Fries (ABES), Julie Segura (HLES), Cynthia Spigarelli (LBES) and Patricia Campbell (HSMS) who have announced their retirements at the end of this year. They have a combined one hundred two years of service to our students. We wish you a splendid time in retirement!

Summer School Positions are open.

This month’s changes to classified staff include three new hires, two rehires, one resignation and one retirement. Kathleen Putnam is retiring as a Payroll tech after fourteen years with the district.

Is the landscape turf the first priority for the spending of half a million dollars at MCHS?

Is this another restroom at MHS, besides the restroom remodels of last summer, or a redo of those?

There is an agreement in an attached contract that reads:

Consultant’s employees will have no contact or interaction with District pupils outside of the immediate supervision and control of the pupil’s parent or guardian or a school employee. Accordingly, the fingerprinting and criminal background investigation requirements of Education Code section 45125.1 shall not apply to Consultant’s services under this Agreement.

If this is the case, why can we not allow volunteers who have no contact or interaction with students outside of the immediate supervision and control of school employees to forgo the cumbersome Be a Mentor process?

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. (Discussion) MTSS Intervention Counselor Update

The high school MTSS Intervention Counselor position started during the 2020-2021 school year and is currently funded through the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The MTSS Intervention Counselors provide targeted support and interventions for identified students in collaboration with school counselors, teachers, administrators, and staff. Each comprehensive high school has a .8 FTE dedicated MTSS Intervention Counselor at their site and a .6 FTE MTSS Intervention Counselor at RHS. This year, the position expanded to include .5 FTE at each middle school.

Intervention techniques listed include

Tier 2 Teams • Student Study Teams • Peer Counseling • Focused Student Study Sessions • After School Groups • Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Lesson Development Delivery and Support • 504 Plan Meeting Coordination and Facilitation • Safe School Ambassadors

Reflection and Next Steps:

Utilize data to identify needs and high-impact practices for continuous systemic improvement. • Explore an integrated approach of alternative interventions for students. • Continue collaboration to develop additional systems and structures that support a coherent approach to the work.

Are all the listed interventions available at all sites? Are these interventions the sole responsibility of the MTSS counselors?

What structure will be utilized for the next steps?

What metrics demonstrate the vital work of this team?

Is it expected that MTSS Counselors will continue at these levels? If not, how will targeted support be provided?

F.2. (Action) Approval of 2023-24 Second Interim Budget Report

Updates to the budget include an increase of $2.3 million in income and $4.5 million dollars in expenses. Nearly $2.5 million of that is in additional expenses for Special Education.

The three year plan shows the need for $26 million in cuts for 25-26 which have not yet been identified.

The inclusion of publicly available proposals with the SRTA Bargaining Unit is recommended best practice and differs from past practice.

This report is submitted as qualified, stating that the district may not meet its obligations for this year and the next two years. This requires the district to create a less involved third interim report.

The report shows that SRCS expects to be funded for 500 fewer students next year. While understanding that SRCS must reduce expenses, eliminating 67 certificated positions at a rate of 1 position for the loss of 7.5 students raises many questions.

SRTA members are concerned with the ever growing proportion of the budget that is being utilized to meet the needs of our students with special needs. Utilizing contractors to provide services that SRCS is unable to provide due to an inability to attract and retain workers (when they can work for the outside contractor for 16% more in hourly wages and for increased hours per day) has created an inescapable loop. Annual expenses for Special Ed have risen by over $16 million in just a few years. Can SRCS address this issue?

Next year SRCS is preparing to provide services to over fifty additional high needs students currently being served by SCOE. Currently students needing medical care are sent home from SRCS when we do not have the staff available to help them. How is SRCS going to hire the necessary people to appropriately care for fifty additional high needs students?

F.3. (Action) Resolution No. 2023/24-47 Reduction or Discontinuance of Certain Particular Kinds of Service (PKS) for the 2024-24 School Year

This resolution eliminates an additional 0.95 FTE of site funded positions. Is this 0.95 correct ?

The SOL Counselors are back on this list after being spared at the last meeting.

The District Librarian is being eliminated.

The Coordinator of Alternative Education that was just hired is being eliminated.

1.3 FTE of Program Managers are being eliminated. (These are administrative positions.)

Education has become an incredibly stressful job. SRCS must take care to not further burden their workforce in the midst of these reductions of staff. The ability to attract and retain has been markedly strained. The workforce can not absorb more job responsibilities. Can SRCS use this time of substantial cuts in the workforce to refocus the district to center on doing fewer things better?

The budget update shows that the total savings from the eliminated Particular Kinds of Services has a financial impact of about $8.4 million ongoing.

F.4. (Action) Resolution No. 2023/24-48 Reduction in Classified Work Force Involving California School Employees Associate (CSEA) Chapter 75 for the 2024-24 School Year

The Board will consider the approval of a resolution regarding the reduction of the District’s classified work force in response to the Board approved budget reduction of March 13, 2024.

(The resolution will be uploaded to the Board agenda by 6pm Monday.)

SRCS classified positions have one hundred thirty-five unfilled positions posted on EdJoin right now.

SRTA members expect that the reduction in PKS for classified is restricted to eliminating unfilled positions.

Having fewer folks to perform these jobs requires more from administrators to ensure that individual responsibilities and priorities for duties are clear. Piling more work on fewer employees is certain to cause burnout.

F.5.& 6. Public Hearing and Action Regarding California School Employee Association Chapter 75 (CSEA 75) “Sunshine” Proposals for Contract Openers with the Santa Rosa City Schools District for 2024-2027

The Board will review CSEA 75’s “sunshine” proposal for contract openers with SRCS for 2024-2027 after a public hearing. The proposal includes negotiating various articles such as Recognition, Association Rights, Transfers, Safety, Leaves, Vacation Leaves, Holidays, Compensation, Pay and Allowance, Layoff and Reemployment, and Miscellaneous Provisions. Considerations include updating outdated language, addressing safety concerns, improving compensation, and complying with relevant laws. This marks the beginning of the collective bargaining process for the 2024-2027 contract.

Proposals

SRTA members strongly support improvements to our classified siblings working conditions and compensation. Their work is absolutely essential to our schools and district.

F.7. (Action) First Read and Possible Waiver of Second Read – BP 6146.1

The purpose of this item is to propose revisions to Board Policy based on discussions and explorations by the SRCS Graduation Requirement Committee. This committee is focused on suggesting adjustments to SRCS graduation requirements to better support students in successfully completing high school and preparing for college and career. The committee has met four times in 2024 and has identified the need for short-term recommendations to address specific aspects of graduation requirements, particularly related to mathematics, waivers for mathematics, and student scheduling in third-year mathematics courses. Two versions of recommendations are being presented to the Board for consideration.

Version 1

Extension of the waiver to the Class of 2026
Elimination of the specification of Math 2P, and the replacement language to include a second year of math that exceeds Math 1P
Clarification that a student does not need to fail the 3rd year of math before being offered the waiver

Version 2

Removal of the specification of the Class of 2024 and 2025 for the waiver, and replacement of the waiver specification with the statement, ” Students shall be encouraged to complete UC eligibility requirements in mathematics, but may omit the third year of math upon written, knowledgeable application by a student’s parent/ guardian.”

This committee has met and their initial proposals are being brought to the board. This is a shift in practice which is appreciated.

Students are not finding success with current A-G requirements. The pervasiveness of social media and the impact of COVID have severely impacted the academic achievement of many students. This overlapped with the adoption of more stringent requirements for graduation.

Student pass rates in math are a long time concern for SRCS and beyond. Nothing in the pre-high school system has changed to support this change in expectations at the high school level. Students are promoted to the next math course, no matter their capabilities.

Historically, SRCS followed the state requirements for math, two-years including Algebra 1. A student could graduate with a year of Algebra Readiness and a year of Math 1 (or Algebra 1.) This was an option, as was the option to take five years of math during high school, if a student chose to double up their junior or senior year.

The A-G adoption now requires a student to pass Math 1 and two more years of math. For the student that enters high school lacking a firm foundation in math, they are no longer offered any other option than Math 1.

The removal of parent and family choice of a math pathway has had consequences including higher rates of requests for SPED testing to circumvent these requirements.

The IGP and Waivers have been used as ongoing bandaids, as there is an issue in denying students a diploma when the system hasn’t been built up to support success with the additional requirements.

SRTA is disappointed that there is no data included in this item for reference on grad rates and the historic utilization of IGP and waivers.

The following data is from the class of 2021 when 28% of the senior class qualified for the IGP and 16% of the class graduated utilizing the IGP.

School Site	number of seniors	Total Eligiblefor IGP	% of Senior Class	Graduated with IGP	% of Eligible that Graduated
EAHS	237	54	23%	39	72%
MHS	372	90	24%	58	64%
MCHS	309	45	15%	29	64%
PHS	319	105	33%	43	41%
RHS	184	99	54%	42	42%
SRHS	390	113	29%	71	63%
District Total:	1811	506	28%	282	56%

G. CONSENT ITEMS

G.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 81 current postings for 148 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 5 certificated openings (eleven less than the last meeting), with the removal of all teaching positions postings except SDC/ESN. There are two certificated management openings (one more than the last meeting.) There are 72 current classified postings (seven less than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.)

SRTA welcomes one new certificated hire: Lana Kriner (CCLA.) This brings this year’s certificated hires to 139. That is nearly 15% of our certificated workforce. The proposed positions being eliminated are nearly 10% of our certificated staff.

SRTA bids farewell to six folks who are resigning at the end of this year: Nightsnow Vogt (SRHS), Asher (ABES), Nathan Holz (MCHS), Holly Aviles (CCLA), Kathleen Rivers (RHS), and Simran Jorgensen (SPSV) who leave us with a combined twenty years of service. Thank you for all you did for our students, and know you will be missed.

SRTA congratulates Annie Scully (MLServices), Art Horner (SRHS) and Ledlie Allen (JMES) who have announced their retirements at the end of this year. They have a combined seventy-three years of service to our students. We wish you a splendid time in retirement!

Of note: SRTA is appreciative of two partial unpaid LOAs that have been approved for next year.

Summer School Positions are open.

District Administrators on Special Assignment Patty Turner and Laura Hendrickson are retiring at the end of the year, leaving us after a combined forty-six and a half years of service.

Monitoring Reports for Charters: (SRFACS) (CCLA) (SRCSA) (SRAC)

It is difficult to create and oversee a three year plan with actions, metrics and expenses. The turnover in district office personnel adds to this challenge. Establishing a system for creating, monitoring, and including stakeholders is done without guidance from the state.

SRTA has asked numerous times to be included in the LCAP writing and evaluation process. There have often been promises that, ‘Next year we’ll start meeting around this in October.” That didn’t happen. Last year we were told that this year, with the new 3-year plan there would be time to really include us, because they know last year’s consultation wasn’t adequate. The bargaining units are included at the last possible minute. They are invited to the table after the decisions have already been made and there is a last minute rush to get the LCAP into the agenda for the upcoming board meeting.

Each action is judged on its effectiveness. What criteria was used? Who was part of that decision?

The stakeholder meetings do not include any review of action items. They pose general questions and collect group feedback. How helpful is this?

There was talk about a PD Committee to work on district PD days. Is that happening to plan next years’ PD days?

Many folks are exhausted and in need of mental health days. Creating sub plans can be daunting. When the PD offerings aren’t seen as highly impacting it is reasonable to take a mental health day when it is not at the expense of our students. Personal Necessity days are to be used as needed, without question.

F.4. (Action) Resolution No. 2023/24-32 Criteria to Determine Certificated Personnel Who Shall be Exempt From the Order of Layoff by Virtue of Their Credentials, Assignment, or Certification (“Skipping Criteria”)

High needs teachers (see attached resolution for list) shall be exempt from the order of layoff.

F.5. (Action) Resolution No. 2023/24-42 to Adopt Seniority Date Tiebreaking Criteria to Determine the Order of Termination Among Certificated Employees with the Same Date of Paid Service

On a seniority list, there will be certificated employees with the same seniority date, which is described as the first day of paid service in a probationary status. In determining the order of termination, should a reduction in workforce become necessary this item establishes criteria based on the needs of the District and the students. The attached listing provides items that earn points to determine tie breaking decisions. It is the same order established in 2022-2023.

F.6. (Action) Resolution No. 2023/24-42 Reduction or Discontinuation of Certain Particular Kinds of Services (PKS) for the 2024-25 School Year

This resolution eliminates 32.1 elementary FTE, 40.6 Secondary FTE, 8 other certificated FTE, 1 site administrator and 3 district administrators. This list includes an unknown quantity of positions with vacancies and announced retirements, and resignations.

The item does not include the fiscal effect of eliminating these 84.7 certificated positions.

Resolution (list of eliminated positions)

SRTA implores the district to make cuts as far away from the classroom as possible. Of these 84.7 FTE being reduced, 29 FTE are district based. The other 66% are classroom and site based.

These dramatic cuts have not been included in the Budget Advisory Committees work.

How is it decided which of these positions should be reinstated if conditions change? In the past there were positions eliminated, and then when money was available the positions were NOT reinstated, with new programs absorbing the funding. Those decisions were not explicitly shared, explained or justified.

Will additional classified positions also be eliminated?
