E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1.  (Action) Resolution Celebrating March as Women’s History Month

Summary

Today, women have reached heights their mothers and grandmothers might only have imagined. Women now comprise nearly half of our workforce and the majority of students in our colleges and universities. They scale the skies as astronauts, expand our economy as entrepreneurs and business leaders, and serve our country at the highest levels of government and our Armed Forces. In honor of the pioneering women who came before us, and in recognition of those who will come after us, this month, we recommit to erasing the remaining inequities facing women in our day.

Resolution

SRTA members are encouraged to peruse Women’s History Month website for inspiring classroom activities.

E.2.  (Action) Resolution Recognizing March as Arts Education Month

Summary

California Arts Education Month celebrates arts education. SRCS celebrities:

  • SRCS Staff will use grant funds to form an Arts Planning Committee which will work to adapt our Visual and Performing Arts Framework into a Strategic Arts Plan.
  • Music students representing all of our elementary AND middle schools will perform in 2 concerts on April 26th and 27th at Piner High School.
  • The Music Blitz owns over 1500 wind and string instruments for our students, used for music classes for every 4th, 5th, and 6th grader in all 9 traditional elementary schools.
  • SRCS also provides a Mariachi/Arts Summer Camp. 

Resolution

Community Resources

SRTA celebrates our members who provide priceless arts education to our students. 

E.3. (Action) Approval of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) as the Architect Firm to develop the Facilities Master Plan (FMP)

Summary

With the passage of the new bond measures C & G, a new update to our facilities master plan is needed. The District will negotiate a fixed fee based on the exact agreed-upon scope of work. QKA’s fee estimate is $308,550- $420,750. The schedule includes Spring 2023 Stakeholder Meetings. The District expects the FMP to be completed by November 30, 2023.

FMP Presentation 

FMP RFP

QKA Proposal

SRTA looks forward to an inclusive process for setting priorities for bond funded projects.

E.4.  (Discussion) Exploring the Feasibility of a Parcel Tax

Summary

A parcel tax is one tool that can help address funding shortfalls by providing financial resources to support programs and services such as academic programs and support, Career Technical Education (CTE), maintaining small class sizes, and offering competitive compensation to attract and retain the best teachers. The discussion will center around the feasibility of a parcel tax and what an approved parcel tax could provide.  The contract for a consultant for this is up for approval as a consent agenda item.

Tax rate recommendations: 

• HSD: $50 per parcel generating approximately $3 million annually 

• ESD: $75 per parcel generating approximately $1 million annually 

 Exemptions and Accountability Requirements: 

• 8 year sunset 

• Exemptions for homeowners age 65+ and low-income homeowners with disabilities 

• Independent citizens’ oversight committee and mandatory annual audits

Presentation 

SRTA appreciates the efforts to establish a funding source for improved compensation to attract and retain staff. 

We look forward to future agenda items including the process that would be utilized to decide the priorities of such funding. 

E.5. (Action) Adoption of Board Teleconferencing Provisions
Summary

The current structure for hybrid board meetings is ending. The board has two choices for continuing to allow board members to attend remotely. Both scenarios allow for continuing Zoom/hybrid meetings for stakeholders. These were explained in detail at the recent Special Board meeting.

  1. Reverting to the Brown Act which allows remote attendance if the location of the board member is posted on the agenda and accessible to the public.

or

  1. Adopting the provisions in Assembly Bill 2449 which allows for two “just cause” remote appearances per calendar year and a limited number of  “emergency circumstances.”

SRTA appreciates the increased access hybrid meetings give to staff, students and families. SRTA also hopes that the board sees the value of increased communication and discussion when they are all together in the same room.

E.5. (Action) Approval of Board Governance Handbook

Summary

This handbook is a “living document” and will be reviewed annually. The Board operates under a set of bylaws and has also created norms and guidelines for effective and efficient governance to create an environment conducive to the immense and complex responsibilities the Board has as an elected body to the SRCS.   

Draft Board GovernanceHandbook

Clean Board Governance Handbook

Strategic Plan

SRTA members appreciate the dedication of our Board Trustees. 

Our members look forward to the board reconsidering the Strategic Plan (mission, vision and Strategic Priorities) of our district, which expires in 2024. The revised plan will hopefully provide clear direction on concrete goals for the work of the district through 2029, with metrics to evaluate that progress. 

E.7. (Action) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between Santa Rosa City Schools and the Santa Rosa Teachers Association Regarding Educational Specialists Mixed Caseload

Summary

Mixed caseloads have been defined as Educational Specialists who are serving RSP and SDC students with a ratio of 22:1. Caseloads over the agreed upon ratios are subject to overages. Caseloads ratios for SDC students are as follows:

  • 0-6 SDC students = 28:1
  • 7-8 SDC students = 22:1
  • 9-15 SDC students = 15:1

Mixed Caseload MOU

SRTA appreciates the expedited temporary resolution to this issue instead of going to mediation.

E.8. (Action) Approval of Provisional Internship Permit Application (PIP) for Ceanne Browne

Summary

The Preliminary Internship Permit (PIP) will allow the district to fill a Mild-Moderate Support Needs Secondary (RSP/SDC) teaching position at Piner High School  (1.0 FTE)  for the 2022-2023 school year. PIP’s are not renewable and are issued on a one-time basis per applicant in any credential subject area.

PIP 

This is the eleventh waiver for a position SRCS is unable to fill with a highly qualified individual this year.

E.9. (Action) Board Member Request for Leave of Absence Reimbursement 

Summary

Trustee Ever Flores and Trustee Roxanne McNally are employed by separate school districts in Sonoma County.   Their responsibilities as School Board members may at times need to be conducted during the workday, resulting in their need to schedule an absence from work. Per EC 44987.3, a Board member who is an employee of a school district may request from their employer a leave of absence of up to 20 school days per school year to conduct Board-related business with approval by the School Board.

Reimbursement for Trustee Flores’ leave of absence per day = $575 per diem rate (Total for 20 days = $11,500)

Reimbursement for Trustee McNally’s leave of absence per day = $200 substitute rate (Total for 20 days = $4,000)

SRTA supports this item which will allow for more active participation of these trustees.

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN/ACCIÓN

E.1. (Acción) Resolución Celebrando Marzo como el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer

Resumen

Hoy en día, las mujeres han alcanzado alturas que sus madres y abuelas solo podrían haber imaginado. Las mujeres ahora constituyen casi la mitad de nuestra fuerza laboral y la mayoría de los estudiantes en nuestros colegios y universidades. Escalan los cielos como astronautas, expanden nuestra economía como empresarios y líderes empresariales, y sirven a nuestro país en los más altos niveles de gobierno y nuestras Fuerzas Armadas. En honor a las mujeres pioneras que nos precedieron y en reconocimiento a las que vendrán después de nosotras, este mes volvemos a comprometernos a borrar las desigualdades restantes que enfrentan las mujeres en nuestros días.

Resolución

Se alienta a los miembros de SRTA a leer detenidamente el Mes de la historia de la mujer sitio web para inspirar actividades en el aula.

E.2. (Acción) Resolución que reconoce a marzo como el Mes de la Educación Artística

Resumen

El Mes de la Educación Artística de California celebra la educación artística. Celebridades de la SRCS:

  • El personal de SRCS utilizará los fondos de la subvención para formar un Comité de Planificación de las Artes que trabajará para adaptar nuestro Marco de las Artes Visuales y Escénicas a un Plan Estratégico de las Artes.
  • Los estudiantes de música que representan a todas nuestras escuelas primarias y secundarias se presentarán en 2 conciertos el 26 y 27 de abril en la Escuela Secundaria Piner.
  • The Music Blitz posee más de 1500 instrumentos de viento y de cuerda para nuestros estudiantes, que se utilizan para las clases de música de cada alumno de 4.°, 5.° y 6.° grado en las 9 escuelas primarias tradicionales.
  • SRCS también ofrece un campamento de verano de mariachi/artes.

Resolución

Recursos de la comunidad

SRTA celebra a nuestros miembros que brindan educación artística invaluable a nuestros estudiantes.

E.3. (Acción) Aprobación de Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) como la firma de arquitectos para desarrollar el Plan Maestro de Instalaciones (FMP)

Resumen

Con la aprobación de las nuevas medidas de bonos C y G, se necesita una nueva actualización del plan maestro de nuestras instalaciones. El Distrito negociará una tarifa fija basada en el alcance exacto del trabajo acordado. La tarifa estimada de QKA es de $308,550 a $420,750. El calendario incluye las reuniones de partes interesadas de la primavera de 2023. El Distrito espera que el FMP se complete antes del 30 de noviembre de 2023.

Presentación FMP 

Solicitud de propuesta de FMP

Propuesta QKA

SRTA espera un proceso inclusivo para establecer prioridades para proyectos financiados con bonos.

E.4. (Discusión) Exploración de la viabilidad de un impuesto a las parcelas

Resumen

Un impuesto a las parcelas es una herramienta que puede ayudar a abordar los déficits de financiación al proporcionar recursos financieros para apoyar programas y servicios tales como programas académicos y apoyo, Educación Técnica Profesional (CTE), mantener clases pequeñas y ofrecer una compensación competitiva para atraer y retener a los mejores maestros. La discusión se centrará en la viabilidad de un impuesto a las parcelas y lo que podría proporcionar un impuesto a las parcelas aprobado. El contrato de un consultor para esto está pendiente de aprobación como un punto de la agenda de consentimiento.

Recomendaciones de tasa impositiva:

• HSD: $50 por parcela generando aproximadamente $3 millones anuales

• ESD: $75 por parcela generando aproximadamente $1 millón al año

 Exenciones y requisitos de responsabilidad:

• Llegará a su fin en 8 años 

• Exenciones para propietarios de viviendas mayores de 65 años y propietarios de viviendas de bajos ingresos con discapacidades

• Comité de vigilancia ciudadana independiente y auditorías anuales obligatorias

Presentación 

SRTA aprecia los esfuerzos para establecer una fuente de financiamiento para mejorar la compensación para atraer y retener personal.

Esperamos con interés los futuros puntos de la agenda, incluido el proceso que se utilizaría para decidir las prioridades de dicha financiación.

E.5. (Acción) Adopción de disposiciones sobre teleconferencias de la Mesa Directiva

Resumen

La estructura actual para las reuniones de la Mesa Directiva híbrida está llegando a su fin. La Mesa Directiva tiene dos opciones para continuar permitiendo que los miembros de la Mesa Directiva asistan de forma remota. Ambos escenarios permiten reuniones Zoom/híbridas continuas para las partes interesadas. Estos fueron explicados en detalle en la reciente reunión de la Mesa Directiva Especial.

  1. Volver a la Ley Brown, que permite la asistencia remota si la ubicación del miembro de la Mesa Directiva se publica en la agenda y es accesible al público.
  2. Adoptar las disposiciones del Proyecto de Ley de la Asamblea 2449 que permite dos comparecencias remotas de “causa justa” por año calendario y un número limitado de “circunstancias de emergencia”.

SRTA aprecia el mayor acceso que las reuniones híbridas brindan al personal, los estudiantes y las familias. SRTA también espera que la Mesa Directiva vea el valor de una mayor comunicación y discusión cuando están todos juntos en la misma sala.

E.5. (Acción) Aprobación del Manual de Gobernanza de la Mesa Directiva

Resumen

Este manual es un “documento vivo” y será revisado anualmente. La Mesa Directiva opera bajo un conjunto de estatutos y también ha creado normas y pautas para un gobierno eficaz y eficiente para crear un entorno propicio para las inmensas y complejas responsabilidades que tiene la Mesa Directiva como órgano electo de la SRCS.

Borrador del Manual de Gobernanza de la Mesa Directiva

Manual de Gobernanza de la Mesa Directiva Limpia

Plan estratégico

Los miembros de SRTA aprecian la dedicación de nuestra Mesa Directiva Directiva.

Nuestros miembros esperan que la Mesa Directiva reconsidere el Plan Estratégico (misión, visión y Prioridades Estratégicas) de nuestro distrito, que vence en 2024. Se espera que el plan revisado brinde una dirección clara sobre metas concretas para el trabajo del distrito hasta 2029, con métricas para evaluar ese progreso.

E.7. (Acción) Aprobación de un Memorando de Entendimiento entre las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa y la Asociación de Maestros de Santa Rosa con respecto a los Especialistas Educativos Carga de Casos Mixta

Resumen

Los casos mixtos se han definido como especialistas en educación que atienden a estudiantes de RSP y SDC con una proporción de 22:1. Los casos que superen las proporciones acordadas están sujetos a excedentes. Las proporciones de casos para los estudiantes de SDC son las siguientes:

  • 0-6 estudiantes COSUDE = 28:1
  • 7-8 estudiantes COSUDE = 22:1
  • 9-15 estudiantes COSUDE = 15:1

Memorándum de entendimiento de casos mixtos

SRTA aprecia la resolución temporal acelerada de este problema en lugar de ir a la mediación.

E.8. (Acción) Aprobación de la solicitud de permiso de pasantía provisional (PIP) para Ceanne Browne

Resumen

El Permiso de pasantía preliminar (PIP) permitirá que el distrito ocupe un puesto de enseñanza secundaria con necesidades de apoyo leves a moderadas (RSP/SDC) en Piner High School (1.0 FTE) para el año escolar 2022-2023. Los PIP no son renovables y se emiten una sola vez por solicitante en cualquier área temática de la credencial.

PIP

Esta es la undécima renuncia para un puesto que SRCS no puede cubrir con una persona altamente calificada este año.

E.9. (Acción) Miembro de la Mesa Directiva Solicitud de Reembolso de Permiso de Ausencia

Resumen

El fideicomisario Ever Flores y la fideicomisaria Roxanne McNally son empleados de distritos escolares separados en el condado de Sonoma. Sus responsabilidades como miembros de la Mesa Directiva Escolar a veces pueden necesitar llevarse a cabo durante la jornada laboral, lo que resulta en la necesidad de programar una ausencia del trabajo. Según EC 44987.3, un miembro de la Mesa Directiva que sea empleado de un distrito escolar puede solicitar a su empleador un permiso de ausencia de hasta 20 días escolares por año escolar para realizar asuntos relacionados con la Mesa Directiva con la aprobación de la Mesa Directiva Escolar.

Reembolso por el permiso de ausencia del Síndico Flores por día = $575 por día (Total por 20 días = $11,500)

Reembolso por el permiso de ausencia del administrador McNally por día = tarifa sustituta de $200 (Total por 20 días = $4,000)

SRTA apoya este elemento que permitirá una participación más activa de estos fideicomisarios.

Frontline ha determinado que no puede continuar con la integración de planificación de recursos empresariales (ERP) para el módulo de control de posición. El Distrito desea dejar de utilizar el módulo de control de posición, pero continuará utilizando el resto del módulo de suites del Sistema de gestión de recursos humanos (HRMS). Frontline le dará al distrito un crédito de tarifa de suscripción de $181,984 para usar en futuras tarifas de suscripción.

Acuerdo de rescisión de primera línea

Históricamente, SRCS ha declarado que el control de puestos ha sido difícil de navegar entre Recursos Humanos y Servicios comerciales. ¿Se buscará otro proveedor para reemplazar esta suscripción?

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Discussion) Elsie Allen HS / Cesar Chavez Language Academy New School Model Update

Summary

The New School Model encompasses the important work of implementing Elsie Allen High School’s graduate profile, building  robust Career Technical Education (CTE) program offerings, and implementing a rigorous and meaningful dual immersion pathway at Elsie Allen High School (EAHS).

Presentation

ARPA Grant Indicators  

Supported by Sonoma County CTE Foundation’s $1.1 million grant

(student data is most recent from Data Quest)

Students attending school daily 

98% of EAHS students have at least one absence for 21-22 (96% for SRCS)

The average # of absences was 32.2 days (21.1 days for SRCS) 

60% of those absences are unexcused (41% for SRCS)

56.4% of students count for Chronic Absenteeism (41% for SRCS)

Other efforts at EAHS:

Seven period day 

4.0 FTE additional sections supported by $625,000 SRCS LCAP 1.30 

Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) EAHS is identified as eligible for CSI in the SRCS LCAP, including assistance of a SRCS Director.  The SRCS LCAP states that CSI funds are included in site SPSAs (“The individual site plans address the resource inequities and identify them in their particular SPSA/CSI.”). The EAHS SPSA shows $0 for CSI funding.The Blended Learning (p.13) PD at EAHS $39,500 with Dr. Catlin Tucker is stated to come from these funds. CDE information shows that EAHS qualified to be exited from CSI, but is still eligible for additional ATSI funding support to aid the progress of underperforming EL students.

AVID closing the opportunity gap by preparing students for college readiness and success in a global society through a four year course 

A-G Completion Grant (0.8 FTE for EAHS)

EAHS Foundation supports student services and Career Day as well as providing teacher grants

SRTA members notice the profound efforts to improve the educational opportunities at Elsie Allen High School. EAHS has 15% of the SRCS comprehensive high school population and receives 23% of the Title 1 and LCFF funding. The $338,000 SPSA funding is about $311 per student.

It is appreciated that this presentation includes some timelines and indicators. 

E.2. and E.3. (Action) Skipping Criteria (Exemptions  From Layoff) and Seniority Date Tiebreaking Criteria

Summary

In preparation for potential Reduction in Force (RIF), the Board will consider approval of specific skipping criteria to deviate from terminating certificated employees in order of seniority date and seniority date tiebreaking criteria for establishing an order of termination for employees who first rendered paid probationary service to the District on the same date

Skipping Resolution Teachers of Spanish, math, sciences in grades 7-12; all specialized areas including special education; and those authorized to provide services in dual immersion programs at CCLA and SRFAC will be skipped.

Tie Breaking Resolution

With the unmet need for credentialed teachers, and the increased needs of our students, it is difficult for SRTA members to imagine SRCS implementing Reduction in Force (RIF) notices. 

The district has funding in excess of the general fund to provide improved learning situations for students. At every level students would benefit from smaller class sizes, allowing for better connection and attention. At the elementary level, student needs would be much better met with the elimination of combination classes. 

Substitute teachers support our students, but often positions are being left unmet. The situation of unfilled substitute jobs creates a hardship on our sites that could be alleviated with FT staff substitutes. They could be assigned to specific sites, allowing them to be integrated into the sites. Teachers would be able to attend district PD release days, as there would be subs to cover their classes. 

With the planned growth of Dual Language Immersion at EAHS, the identified teachers at that site should also be skipped.

E.4. (Action) Approval of a MOU Regarding Extended Pay Rate for School Psychologists
Summary

School Psychologists   may choose to work after hours related to pre-approved additional assessments due to unfilled 2.0 FTE School Psychologist vacancies.

SRTA 22-23 #3 MOU

SRTA appreciates this resolution to the Psychologists going above and beyond for our students.

E.5. (Action) Revisions to the Certificated Salary Placement Guidelines
Summary

The Board will consider updating the guidelines to remove the two year cap on years of experience for Military and Peace Corps, as requested by the board at the time the revision was approved. This addition will cost about $14,000.

Redline Salary Placement Guidelines

Redline Certificated Placement Guidelines

SRTA members appreciate honoring the service our members have given. Members are excited to see their February paychecks reflect the adjustments made to their placement via board action in September. 

E.6. (Action) First Read, and Possible Waiver of Second Read, of Board Bylaw 9320

Removing the month of July as a month to conduct regular Board meetings provides the Board and district staff time to focus on preparations for the new school year and other matters.

Redline of Bylaw 9320

The board seems to need time for reviewing and contemplating district matters through the lens of the mission and vision, especially around equity, to adjust policy. 

Graduation Policy Evaluation 

There have been repeated requests from the board to evaluate data around the A-G policy. The requirements for a diploma from SRCS are far beyond the requirements from the state of California. The implementation of the policy has eliminated courses that do not qualify for UC/CSU A-G designation. The requirements for Math and World Language have been dramatically raised, without providing any systemic support to address long existing hurdles for students. For several years district graduation rates have been propped up by the Individual Graduation Plans. An enormous portion of current juniors are not on track to graduate. Will current students be denied a high school diploma and face additional employment hurdles post high school? 

Ethnic Studies Requirement

While it is admirable to support the Ethnic Studies graduation requirement and amazing progress in the development of this program, there has not been time to create enough courses to provide all students the opportunity to fit this requirement into their course of study. Can the board provide a policy that strongly encourages the studying of Ethnic Studies while allowing additional time for the creation of a well supported menu of options for the requirement?

Student Discipline

There is a communal desire to break the school to prison pipeline. SRCS has invested heavily in Restorative Practices which have the goal of building healthy schools. The practices are built on Restorative Justice which works hard to include the voice of victims (which is inclusively defined.)  How to Successfully Implement Restorative Practices At School includes:  

Make students aware of consequences. For every negative action, there is a consequence. When students discover what they could lose, they might think twice about their actions and reactions. They should be told about the school district’s zero-tolerance policy for bullying and violence.  

Most SRTA members feel the current practice in SRCS does not hold students accountable for their actions or include enough voices for victims of student actions. Offending students are not learning to change their behavior. Our campuses are feeling less safe with our current state of implementation. 

Student Assessment

SRCS Students are subjected to a plethora of assessments beyond those associated with curriculum. How much data are we able to digest and make use of? How much effort is reasonable to spend on assessing as compared to learning? 

E.7. (Action) First Read, and Possible Waiver of Second Read, of Board Bylaw 9250

Per Ed Code  35120 “On an annual basis, the governing board may increase the compensation of individual board members beyond the limits delineated in this section, in an amount not to exceed 5 percent based on the present monthly rate of compensation.” This item would move this consideration to June for implementation in July. 

Redline Bylaw 9250

E.8. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 110 current postings for 181 job vacancies for SRCS. 

There are 38 certificated openings (one more than the last meeting), and 8 certificated management openings (seven more than last meeting). There are 135 current classified openings (fourteen less than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.) 

SRTA welcomes Genna Becker (HCMS), Kelly Chiurco (SPSV), and Kathleen Rivers (RHS), and welcomes back Shawn Rothrock (RHS.)

Congratulations to Paul Drake (HVES), Mary Hoberg (SRHS) and Kenneth Emery (MCHS) who will retire at the end of the year after a combined 80 years of service to our students. Know you will be greatly missed, and we wish you all the best!

Farewell to Adina Flores, resigning Executive Assistant to the Superintendent.

This month changes to classified staff include three new hires. There is one retirement.

SRTA is pleased to see the intention of having extra units on hand. There are members who want to continue to use LCD projectors instead of interactive screens. SRTA would like to have this decision supported.

How are the SRCS charter schools included in this rollout plan?

F.9. Approval of Quadient for Folder Inserter Machine Lease

During the 2021-2022 school year, the folder inserter machine processed in excess of 100,000 pieces of mail. This new machine will make for more efficient work.

$589.72 – monthly lease payment

$35,383.20 cost over the five-year lease

Proposal

This lease appears to be about the cost of purchasing this machine. The lease includes maintenance. Why would SRCS lease this equipment instead of buying it outright?

F.10. Approval of PPA Solar Buy-Out at CCLA

The roofing contractor will need to remove the existing system over spring break in order to meet their timeline for roof installation over the summer. The equipment may be able to be repurposed as part of another smaller energy project in the future. 

This buyout will cost $600,000. 

Buyout Agreement

Where is the original installation contract for this equipment?

The agenda item says “The panels may be incorporated, similar to what is happening at the other sites.” What is this referring to? What are the plans for actually reusing the equipment, with new lease installations planned for solar units throughout the district. 

There is also a question about the roof work planned for CCLA. Other sites had limited roof work done only to accommodate new HVAC Units. Will there actually be a new roof installed at CCLA?

I.5. Update on the Revision of the SRCS English Learner Master Plan

The Santa Rosa City Schools English Learner Master Plan Revision Committee is currently revising the English Learner Master Plan. This plan is meant to articulate California’s current policies and the district’s mission and vision. It provides tools for educators, families, and community members to support the academic success of all Multilingual Learners in the district.  This plan also provides a framework of instruction for Multilingual Learners to acquaint teachers, administrators, and parents with federal, state, and district policies as well as programs, resources, and staff/parent development opportunities. Expected completion is Spring of 2023

EL Master Plan Update (Timeline)

SRTA appreciates the efforts being undertaken to improve this plan so it can be utilized as a guiding document for serving our multilingual students.

I.6. Pause the Process and Timeline for the SRACS Material Revision Request to their Charter

More time is needed to consider the obligations the charter revisions would bring.   As a result, we are pausing the process and timeline of the revision request to the SRACS charter until it is determined that identified obligations are clear and sustainable.  Obligations considered include: 

– The current charter budget

– The fiscal impact of increased staffing 

– The fiscal impact of additional classroom spaces

– The fiscal impact and feasibility of providing transportation 

– The creation of an outreach plan to increase accessibility and diversity for students, and the hiring of a diverse staff

– A clear articulation of the SRACS educational program components, to include service to English Learners and students with special needs

SRTA appreciates that the internal funding practices used for our charter schools must be addressed before changes can be implemented. There is also the need to work with our neighboring districts around charter agreements. 

SRTA members support the intention of extending this charter to include fourth graders and hope the path can be cleared to make this change while the founding staff is willing and available to assist with building this program.

Con la necesidad insatisfecha de maestros acreditados y el aumento de las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes, es difícil para los miembros de SRTA imaginarse a SRCS implementando avisos de Reducción en Fuerza (RIF).

El distrito tiene fondos en exceso del fondo general para proporcionar mejores situaciones de aprendizaje para los estudiantes. En todos los niveles, los estudiantes se beneficiarían de clases más pequeñas, lo que permitiría una mejor conexión y atención. En el nivel de primaria, las necesidades de los estudiantes se cubrirían mucho mejor con la eliminación de las clases combinadas.

Los maestros suplentes apoyan a nuestros estudiantes, pero a menudo los puestos quedan sin cubrir. La situación de los trabajos sustitutos vacantes crea una dificultad en nuestros sitios que podría aliviarse con los sustitutos del personal de FT. Podrían asignarse a sitios específicos, lo que les permitiría integrarse en los sitios. Los maestros podrían asistir a los días libres de PD del distrito, ya que habría suplentes para cubrir sus clases.

Con el crecimiento planificado de la inmersión en dos idiomas en EAHS, los maestros identificados en ese sitio también deben omitirse.

E.4. (Acción) Aprobación de un MOU con respecto a la tasa de pago extendida para psicólogos escolares

Resumen

Los psicólogos escolares pueden optar por trabajar después del horario laboral relacionado con evaluaciones adicionales preaprobadas debido a vacantes de psicólogo escolar 2.0 FTE sin cubrir.

SRTA 22-23 #3 MOU

SRTA agradece esta resolución a los psicólogos que van más allá de nuestros estudiantes.

E.5. (Acción) Revisiones a las Pautas de Colocación de Salarios Certificados

Resumen

La Mesa Directiva considerará actualizar las pautas para eliminar el límite de dos años en años de experiencia para las Fuerzas Armadas y el Cuerpo de Paz, según lo solicitó la Mesa Directiva en el momento en que se aprobó la revisión. Esta adición costará alrededor de $ 14,000.

Directrices de colocación de salario de Redline

Directrices de colocación certificada de Redline

Los miembros de SRTA aprecian honrar el servicio que han brindado nuestros miembros. Los miembros están emocionados de ver que sus cheques de pago de febrero reflejan los ajustes realizados en su ubicación a través de la acción de la Mesa Directiva en septiembre.

E.6. (Acción) Primera lectura y posible renuncia a la segunda lectura del Reglamento de la Mesa Directiva 9320

Eliminar el mes de julio como un mes para llevar a cabo las reuniones regulares de la Mesa Directiva brinda tiempo a la Mesa Directiva y al personal del distrito para concentrarse en los preparativos para el nuevo año escolar y otros asuntos.

Línea roja del estatuto 9320

La Mesa Directiva parece necesitar tiempo para revisar y contemplar los asuntos del distrito a través de la lente de la misión y la visión, especialmente en torno a la equidad, para ajustar la política.

Evaluación de la política de graduación

Ha habido solicitudes repetidas de la Mesa Directiva para evaluar los datos en torno a la política A-G. Los requisitos para obtener un diploma de SRCS van mucho más allá de los requisitos del estado de California. La implementación de la política ha eliminado los cursos que no califican para la designación UC/CSU A-G. Los requisitos para Matemáticas e Idiomas del mundo se han elevado drásticamente, sin proporcionar ningún apoyo sistémico para abordar los obstáculos existentes desde hace mucho tiempo para los estudiantes. Durante varios años, las tasas de graduación del distrito han sido respaldadas por los Planes de graduación individuales. Una gran parte de los jóvenes actuales no están en camino de graduarse. ¿Se les negará a los estudiantes actuales un diploma de escuela secundaria y enfrentarán obstáculos laborales adicionales después de la escuela secundaria?

Requisito de Estudios Étnicos

Si bien es admirable respaldar el requisito de graduación de Estudios Étnicos y el increíble progreso en el desarrollo de este programa, no ha habido tiempo para crear suficientes cursos para brindar a todos los estudiantes la oportunidad de incluir este requisito en su curso de estudio. ¿Puede la Mesa Directiva proporcionar una política que aliente fuertemente el estudio de Estudios Étnicos mientras permite tiempo adicional para la creación de un menú de opciones bien respaldado para el requisito?

Disciplina Estudiantil

Hay un deseo comunal de romper el conducto de la escuela a la prisión. SRCS ha invertido mucho en Prácticas Restaurativas que tienen el objetivo de construir escuelas saludables. Las prácticas se basan en la Justicia Restaurativa que trabaja arduamente para incluir la voz de las víctimas (que se define de manera inclusiva).Cómo implementar con éxito prácticas restaurativas en la escuela incluye:

Hacer que los estudiantes sean conscientes de las consecuencias. Por cada acción negativa, hay una consecuencia. Cuando los estudiantes descubran lo que podrían perder, podrían pensar dos veces acerca de sus acciones y reacciones. Se les debe informar acerca de la política de tolerancia cero del distrito escolar para la intimidación y la violencia.

La mayoría de los miembros de SRTA sienten que la práctica actual en SRCS no responsabiliza a los estudiantes por sus acciones ni incluye suficientes voces para las víctimas de las acciones de los estudiantes. Los estudiantes ofensores no están aprendiendo a cambiar su comportamiento. Nuestros campus se sienten menos seguros con nuestro estado actual de implementación.

Evaluación del estudiante

Los estudiantes de SRCS están sujetos a una plétora de evaluaciones más allá de las asociadas con el plan de estudios. ¿Cuántos datos somos capaces de digerir y utilizar? ¿Cuánto esfuerzo es razonable dedicar a la evaluación en comparación con el aprendizaje?

E.7. (Acción) Primera lectura y posible renuncia a la segunda lectura del Reglamento de la Mesa Directiva 9250

Según Ed Code 35120 “Anualmente, la Mesa Directiva directiva puede aumentar la compensación de los miembros individuales de la Mesa Directiva más allá de los límites delineados en esta sección, en una cantidad que no exceda el 5 por ciento con base en la tasa de compensación mensual actual”. Este artículo movería esta consideración a junio para su implementación en julio.

SRTA le da la bienvenida a Genna Becker (HCMS), Kelly Chiurco (SPSV) y Kathleen Rivers (RHS), y le da la bienvenida nuevamente a Shawn Rothrock (RHS).

Felicitaciones a Paul Drake (HVES), Mary Hoberg (SRHS) y Kenneth Emery (MCHS) quienes se jubilarán al final del año después de 80 años combinados de servicio a nuestros estudiantes. ¡Sepa que lo extrañaremos mucho, y le deseamos todo lo mejor!

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Action) Resolution Recognizing February as African-American History Month

Summary

The theme for 2023 focuses on Black Resistance. This theme explores how “African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms and police killings,” since the nation’s earliest days. 

Resolution

SRTA suggests teachers review Black History Month – For Teachers for inspiration for weaving Black History Month into your classroom during February.

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

Summary

CTE Month serves to recognize the leadership and excellence of classrooms across the district and raise awareness of the crucial role that CTE has in readying our students for economic success and workforce competitiveness.

Resolution

SRTA recognizes our CTE teachers, especially for their development of soft skills in our students. SRTA members are encouraged to extend their appreciation to the CTE teachers they know.

E.3. (Action) Resolution Recognizing February 6-10, 2023: Week of School Counselor

Summary

The 2023 theme is School Counseling: Helping Students Dream Big.

Santa Rosa City Schools acknowledges, affirms, and applauds the hard work and contributions of school counselors each day on behalf of students.

Resolution

SRTA recognizes our counselors, especially for their dedication to our students and their families. SRTA members are encouraged to take a moment to thank the counselor(s) at their site.

E.4. (Discussion) The 2023-24 Governor’s Budget Proposal
Summary

With adjustments made for the January Governor’s Budget Proposal the SRCS  Multi-Year Projection is updated to show an additional $7.7 million in income and an additional $1.6 million in expenses due to decline of state assistance with employee retirement programs. This additional $5.1 million in the budget is a good thing.

Presentation

Education is a people business. Many members of the SRCS board have clearly stated that increasing employee wages is a priority. SRTA supports budgeting adjustments that help meet this goal.

E.5. (Discussion) Board Governance Handbook
Summary

The Board operates under a set of bylaws and has also created norms and guidelines for effective and efficient governance.  Agreement of these norms and guidelines create an environment conducive to the immense and complex responsibilities the Board has as an elected body to the SRCS.   This is also an opportunity for any revisions to the norms or guidelines to be discussed by the Board.

Handbook Draft

SRTA members may appreciate being aware of the following parts of the handbook:

Also, any Board member (or member of the public) may request that a matter within the jurisdiction of the Board be placed on the agenda of a regular meeting. The request shall be submitted in writing to the Superintendent or designee with supporting documents and information, if any, at least one week before the scheduled meeting date. Items submitted less than a week before the scheduled meeting date may be postponed to a later meeting in order to allow sufficient time for consideration and research of the issue. BB 9322 No timely request will be unreasonably denied. 

Without taking action, Board members or district staff members may briefly respond to statements made or questions posed by the public about items not appearing on the agenda.  

The Board will strive to find ways to improve and encourage innovation and new ideas, while maintaining focus on District goals. A section at the end of each Board meeting will be set aside for Board members to request information. When a new idea is suggested, the Board President will ask trustees if there is general interest in the topic. The Board will arrive at consensus about whether or not a particular topic or subject of interest will be added to a future agenda.

Letters and emails addressed to all Board members regarding matters related to the school system are answered by the Board President or designee. Emails and letters should be forwarded to the Board President and Superintendent to ensure that the right staff person is able to handle the response. Board members may respond to emails directed to them personally but must make clear that their views are expressed as an individual and are not the perspective of the Board.

The district pays up to $12,588 for medical benefits for the member and dependent medical is paid by the board member. The district pays $72 per month for dental premiums for each board member and their dependents. A monthly premium of $8.28 for vision is paid by the district for the board member and their dependents. The first $50,000 of a life insurance premium is paid by the district.

E.6. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AV 361

This continues the ability to have hybrid or online meetings.

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 117 current postings for 187 job vacancies for SRCS. 

There are 37 certificated openings (one less than the last meeting), and 1 certificated management openings (the same as last meeting).

We bid farewell to Vanessa Larios (CCLA) after three and a half years of service to our students. Congratulations to Susan Gallegos (SRHS) who will retire at the end of the year after 27 years of service to our students.

Congratulations to Melanie Martin (a working professional) who has been promoted to interim Executive Assist. to the Superintendent. There is also one supervisory hire.

This month changes to classified staff include six new hires. There is one resignation and two retirements. We are losing over 37 years of wisdom and experience with these departures. 

F.4. Approval of Donations and Gifts

Summary of Contracts

Contracts

SRTA wonders about the three HVAC systems at HLES. While celebrating that these units are being replaced we wonder about the bond plan for their replacement as well as the replacement of potential other similar units at the site. 

Last year three contracts for Maxim Health Services totaled $1.3 million for Covid testing services. This contract is for Special Ed positions that SRCS has been unable to fill. 

Reviewing the rate SRCS has posted for open positions on Ed Join and the rate SRCS would pay Maxim per the contract is enlightening.

Positions Currently Open on Ed JoinSRCS starting Hourly Rate Maxim starting Hourly Rate
Behavior Assistant (Tech)$ 20.17$ 50
School Psychologist$ 82.35$ 105.56
School Aide$ 18.74$ 45.00
Administrative Assistant$ 28.00$ 45.00
LVN$ 25.83$ 55.41
SpEd Teacher$ 60.48$ 85.00

SRTA hopes that ALL SpEd Assistant positions throughout the district will be filled with this contract while SRCS fixes the future pay rates for these positions through negotiations so they can be filled in-house moving forward.

F.6. Approval of Montgomery HS AVID Class to travel to Reno, NV for College Tours

Summary

The Board is being asked to approve the Field Trip Request form for Montgomery High School’s AVID group to tour the University of Reno in Reno, Nevada, on March 6-7, 2023 and also tour Sacramento State University.

F.7. Approval of SRHS Cheer Students to Travel to Las Vegas, NV for Nationals

The Board is being asked to approve the Field Trip Request from Santa Rosa High School’s Competition Cheer Team to attend the JAMZ Nationals competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 26-29, 2023.  This is the first time the Santa Rosa High School Cheer team has attended this esteemed competition since before 2009.

Old Org Chart 

New Org Chart

Organization Chart Draft

SRTA appreciates the sharing of this flowchart. We support the elimination of the Director of Facilities (bond) position and the creation of a new in house Project Manager position for facilities bond projects. 

With the size of our district, can we review our facilities maintenance contracts and do a cost-benefit analysis to see the reasonableness of hiring more well experienced employees to service our HVAC, plumbing and electrical needs? For example: 

Contracted HVAC techs are currently changing HVAC filters across the district. They seemed to be on sites completing a survey of equipment and filter needs prior to ordering, delivering and then installing the filters. With all the recent HVAC work, does the district not have a list of the units and filter sizes by site? Does having 1 employee who takes care of all filters district wide make more fiscal sense than contracting this job out?

F.9. Approval of an Agreement Between SRCS and Wright Contracting LLC. as a Pre-Construction Services Agreement for the Santa Rosa HS Phase III, Desoto Hall, and Brook Hill ES Roofing and HVAC Project

In order to maximize the effectiveness of this effort and to assist in maintaining the scope and budget of the project, a recommendation is being made to engage the preconstruction services of a Lease-Lease Back contractor to assist with the development of the revised plans, as well as perform constructability reviews, cost analysis, and construction methods recommendations with the District and design team.

Contract

QKA was granted a contract in Oct. of 2021 for $1.4 million including:

QKA will provide basic services including consultant services for Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering and Cost Estimating, roof inspection and construction document preparation services from BEAM Professionals who provided similar services on the previous phases of modernization work including preparation of schematic design, design development and Construction Documents deliverables, submittal and approval of the project by the Division of the State Architect (DSA). We will also provide support through the bidding and negotiations phase of the project as well as Construction Administration services including services required by DSA for the Architect of Record during construction and closeout. 

This current contract with Wright Construction is for ‘pre-construction” services which are not defined in the agenda documents. This contract will lead to another contract for the actual HVAC work.

I.4. Status Update: 2021-2022 School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs)

The district reports that faulty communications with CDE will cause a delay in the SARC process, not meeting the Feb. 1 deadline. The expectation is that the SARCs will be ready for board approval on Feb. 8, and then will be posted on school websites and on the CDE website.

SRTA appreciates the clear intention to post current SARCs on school websites. 

I.5. Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) Letter Regarding: First Interim Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23

SCOE accepted the district’s Qualified status, meaning the district may not meet expenses for the current year and two additional years.

Scoe recommends:

  1. SRCS perform a deep review of programs and expenses prior to the 2nd interim report
  2. The Fiscal Recovery Plan Committee must create a Fiscal Recovery Plan to eliminate structural deficit spending, and a Fiscal Stabilization Plan.
  3. Revise the elementary enrollment for the Multi-Year Projection (MYP) as declining enrollment has averaged 200-300 students per year, but the projection shows constant enrollment.
  4. The district should ensure all 1-time covid dollars (ESSER and ELO funds) are wisely exhausted by the Sept. 2024 deadline. 
  5. Update the MYP to reflect the Governor’s January budget proposal.

SCOE Letter

Reviewing several years of Unaudited Actuals reveals the following:

Income ($ million)Expense ($ million)Budgeted GapActual GapCost of Classroom Compensation

Average:$181.9$186.9$5.0$188.7$185.2-$3.5-$6.9$1.756%

SRCS tends to underestimate income by $5 million per year, while deficit budgeting an average of $3.5 million per year. This shows an average expectation of a deficit of $6.9 million while actually having unspent an average of $1.7 million annually.

Is there a way to follow the advice of SCOE and adjust the SRCS annual  budget to better align with reality, and avoid the stigma of qualified status?

Completely exhausting the extra Covid dollars is a reasonable expectation. When can an update of the progress made with these expenses to date including plans for the rest of the funds, be expected?

E.4. (Discusión) Propuesta de presupuesto del gobernador para 2023-24

Resumen

Con los ajustes realizados para la Propuesta de Presupuesto del Gobernador de enero, la Proyección Multianual de SRCS se actualiza para mostrar $7.7 millones adicionales en ingresos y $1.6 millones adicionales en gastos debido a la disminución de la asistencia estatal con los programas de jubilación de los empleados. Estos $5.1 millones adicionales en el presupuesto son algo bueno.

Presentación

La educación es un negocio de personas. Muchos miembros de la Mesa Directiva de SRCS han declarado claramente que aumentar los salarios de los empleados es una prioridad. SRTA apoya los ajustes presupuestarios que ayudan a cumplir este objetivo.

E.5. (Discusión) Manual de Gobernanza de la Mesa Directiva

Resumen

La Mesa Directiva opera bajo un conjunto de estatutos y también ha creado normas y lineamientos para un gobierno eficaz y eficiente. El acuerdo de estas normas y directrices crea un entorno propicio para las inmensas y complejas responsabilidades que tiene la Mesa Directiva como órgano electo de la SRCS. Esta es también una oportunidad para que cualquier revisión a las normas o lineamientos sean discutidas por la Mesa Directiva.

Borrador del Manual

Los miembros de SRTA pueden apreciar estar al tanto de las siguientes partes del manual:

Además, cualquier miembro de la Mesa Directiva (o miembro del público) puede solicitar que un asunto dentro de la jurisdicción de la Mesa Directiva se incluya en la agenda de una reunión ordinaria. La solicitud se presentará por escrito al Superintendente o su designado con documentos e información de respaldo, si corresponde, al menos una semana antes de la fecha de la reunión programada. Los artículos presentados menos de una semana antes de la fecha de la reunión programada pueden posponerse para una reunión posterior a fin de permitir suficiente tiempo para la consideración e investigación del problema. BB 9322 No se denegará injustificadamente ninguna solicitud oportuna.

Sin tomar acción, los miembros de la Mesa Directiva o los miembros del personal del distrito pueden responder brevemente a las declaraciones hechas o preguntas hechas por el público sobre temas que no aparecen en la agenda.

La Mesa Directiva se esforzará por encontrar formas de mejorar y alentar la innovación y las nuevas ideas, mientras mantiene el enfoque en las metas del Distrito. Se reservará una sección al final de cada reunión de la Mesa Directiva para que los miembros de la Mesa Directiva soliciten información. Cuando se sugiere una nueva idea, el Presidente de la Mesa Directiva preguntará a los fideicomisarios si existe un interés general en el tema. La Mesa Directiva llegará a un consenso sobre si un tema en particular o tema de interés se agregará o no a una agenda futura.

Las cartas y correos electrónicos dirigidos a todos los miembros de la Mesa Directiva sobre asuntos relacionados con el sistema escolar son respondidos por el Presidente de la Mesa Directiva o su designado. Los correos electrónicos y las cartas deben enviarse al presidente de la Mesa Directiva y al superintendente para garantizar que el miembro adecuado del personal pueda manejar la respuesta. Los miembros de la Mesa Directiva pueden responder a los correos electrónicos dirigidos a ellos personalmente, pero deben dejar en claro que sus puntos de vista se expresan como individuos y no son la perspectiva de la Mesa Directiva.

Resumen de Contratos

Contratos

SRTA se pregunta acerca de los tres sistemas HVAC en HLES. Mientras celebramos que estas unidades están siendo reemplazadas, nos preguntamos sobre el plan de bonos para su reemplazo, así como el reemplazo de otras unidades similares potenciales en el sitio.

El año pasado, tres contratos para Maxim Health Services totalizaron $1.3 millones para servicios de prueba de Covid. Este contrato es para puestos de educación especial que SRCS no ha podido cubrir.

Es esclarecedor revisar la tasa que SRCS ha publicado para las posiciones abiertas en Ed Join y la tasa que SRCS pagaría a Maxim según el contrato.

Puestos actualmente abiertos en Ed JoinTarifa por hora inicial de SRCSTarifa máxima por hora inicialDiferencia
Asistente de comportamiento (técnico)$ 20.17$ 50aumento del 248%

SRTA espera que TODOS los puestos de asistente de educación especial en todo el distrito se llenen con este contrato, mientras que SRCS fija las tarifas de pago futuras para estos puestos a través de negociaciones para que puedan cubrirse internamente en el futuro.

F.6. Aprobación de la clase AVID de Montgomery HS para viajar a Reno, NV para College Tours

Se solicita aprobación para la reorganización y combinación de los departamentos de Mantenimiento e Instalaciones.

Organigrama antiguo

Nuevo organigrama

Borrador de organigrama

SRTA agradece el intercambio de este diagrama de flujo. Apoyamos la eliminación del puesto de Director de Instalaciones (bonos) y la creación de un nuevo puesto de Gerente de Proyecto interno para proyectos de bonos de instalaciones.

Con el tamaño de nuestro distrito, ¿podemos revisar los contratos de mantenimiento de nuestras instalaciones y hacer un análisis de costo-beneficio para ver si es razonable contratar empleados más experimentados para atender nuestras necesidades de HVAC, plomería y electricidad? Por ejemplo:

Los técnicos de HVAC contratados actualmente están cambiando los filtros de HVAC en todo el distrito. Parecían estar en los sitios completando una encuesta de equipos y necesidades de filtros antes de ordenar, entregar y luego instalar los filtros. Con todo el trabajo reciente de HVAC, ¿no tiene el distrito una lista de unidades y tamaños de filtros por sitio? ¿Tener 1 empleado que se encargue de todos los filtros en todo el distrito tiene más sentido fiscal que subcontratar este trabajo?

F.9. Aprobación de un acuerdo entre SRCS y Wright Contracting LLC. como un acuerdo de servicios previos a la construcción para el proyecto de techado y HVAC de Santa Rosa HS Fase III, Desoto Hall y Brook Hill ES

Para maximizar la eficacia de este esfuerzo y ayudar a mantener el alcance y el presupuesto del proyecto, se recomienda contratar los servicios de preconstrucción de un contratista de Lease-Lease Back para ayudar con el desarrollo de los planes revisados, como así como realizar revisiones de constructibilidad, análisis de costos y recomendaciones de métodos de construcción con el Distrito y el equipo de diseño.

Contrato

A QKA se le otorgó un contrato en octubre de 2021 por $1.4 millones que incluye:

QKA brindará servicios básicos, incluidos servicios de consultoría para ingeniería mecánica, ingeniería eléctrica, ingeniería estructural y estimación de costos, inspección de techos y servicios de preparación de documentos de construcción de profesionales de BEAM que brindaron servicios similares en las fases anteriores del trabajo de modernización, incluida la preparación del diseño esquemático, el desarrollo del diseño Entregables y Documentos de Construcción, presentación y aprobación del proyecto por la División del Arquitecto del Estado (DSA). También brindaremos apoyo durante la fase de licitación y negociación del proyecto, así como los servicios de administración de la construcción, incluidos los servicios requeridos por DSA para el arquitecto de registro durante la construcción y el cierre.

Este contrato actual con Wright Construction es para servicios de “preconstrucción” que no están definidos en los documentos de la agenda. Este contrato conducirá a otro contrato para el trabajo real de HVAC.

La expectativa es que los SARC estén listos para la aprobación de la Mesa Directiva el 8 de febrero y luego se publicarán en los sitios web de las escuelas y en el sitio web del CDE.

SRTA agradece la clara intención de publicar los SARC actuales en los sitios web de las escuelas.

I.5. Carta de la Oficina de Educación del Condado de Sonoma (SCOE) sobre: ​​Primer informe provisional para el año fiscal 2022-23

SCOE aceptó el estado Calificado del distrito, lo que significa que el distrito no puede cubrir los gastos del año en curso y dos años adicionales.

SCOE recomienda:

  1. SRCS realiza una revisión profunda de los programas y gastos antes del segundo informe intermedio
  2. El Comité del Plan de Recuperación Fiscal debe crear un Plan de Recuperación Fiscal para eliminar el gasto deficitario estructural y un Plan de Estabilización Fiscal.
  3. Revise la inscripción de primaria para la Proyección de varios años (MYP), ya que la disminución de la inscripción ha promediado entre 200 y 300 estudiantes por año, pero la proyección muestra una inscripción constante.
  4. El distrito debe asegurarse de que todos los dólares covid únicos (fondos ESSER y ELO) se agoten sabiamente antes de la fecha límite de septiembre de 2024.
  5. Actualizar el MYP para reflejar la propuesta de presupuesto de enero del Gobernador.

Board Communications Norms

E.2. (Discussion) Material Revision for Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School (SRACS)

Summary

The Board of Education will receive information as part of a discussion on proposed revisions to the Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School’s charter document.

Slides

Material Revision

SRTA supports this change. Our schools are built with a 4-6 continuum that this change would support. The timing is right to expand the program while making use of the vision and wisdom of the founding staff.  

E.3, 4, 5 and 6 (Action) Certifies the Passage of the Bond Measures and Establishes the Oversight Committees

Summary

Certifies passage of the Elementary School District  Measure G  $125 million general obligation bond measure and the High School District Measure C $398 million general obligation bond measure. General obligation bond citizens’ oversight committee for Measure G. and C will also be approved.

Resolution to establish Measure G Bond Oversight Committee

Resolution Certifying Measure C

Resolution to establish Measure C Bond Oversight Committee

SRTA reiterates that the Oversight committee’s job is to approve accumulated expenses as appropriate to be expensed to the bond. Choosing and prioritizing projects is NOT part of the duties of this committee. The creation of the Facilities Advisory Committee is a step in the right direction, but an inclusive structure for this process has yet to be fully delineated.

E.7. Acceptance of the 2021-2022 Independent Audit Report
Summary

The Board will consider acceptance of the independent Audit Report for the combined Santa Rosa Elementary and High School districts. The report has been completed by the firm Chavan & Associates, LLP for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

Summary

The Board will consider approving the revisions to Board Policy 1312.3 Uniform Complaint Procedures.

First Read

Final Revisions

The Uniform Complaint Procedure name implies it is a single procedure for all complaints. But that is not the case. 

Per the adoption of this item, these are the procedures for Non-UCP Complaints:

  • child abuse or neglect shall be referred to the County Department of Social Services Protective Services Division or the appropriate law enforcement agency. 
  • health and safety violations by a child development program shall, for licensed facilities, be referred to Department of Social Services
  • sexual harassment shall be addressed through the federal Title IX complaint 
  • employment discrimination or harassment shall be investigated and resolved by the district in accordance with the procedures specified in AR 4030 – Nondiscrimination in Employment, including the right to file the complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. 
  • violation of a state or federal law or regulation related to special education, a settlement agreement related to the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE), failure or refusal to implement a due process hearing order to which the district is subject, or a physical safety concern that interferes with the district’s provision of FAPE shall be submitted to the California Department of Education (CDE) 
  • Any complaint alleging noncompliance of the district’s food service program with laws regarding meal counting and claiming, reimbursable meals, eligibility of children or adults, or use of cafeteria funds and allowable expenses shall be filed with or referred to CDE in accordance with BP 3555 – Nutrition Program Compliance.
  • discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in the district’s food service program shall be filed with or referred to the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Summary

Site Liaison Assignments

SRTA appreciates the establishment of board liaisons for sites. Our members look forward to site visits from board members.

E.10. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AV 361

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 127 current postings for 198 job vacancies for SRCS. 

There are 38 certificated openings (three less than the last meeting), and 1 certificated management openings (the same as last meeting). Most of the positions are part time, and most have been posted since October. There are 159 current classified openings (four less than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.) 

SRTA welcomes Kiana Herzog (CCLA) and welcomes back Ann Marie Izaba (CCLA.)

We bid farewell to Evelyn Clancy (MHS) after one year of service to our students.

Non-represented personnel changes include hiring two new administrators, and two new supervisory  employees.  We bid farewell to the retiring Michael Braff.

This month changes to classified staff include three new hires and one rehire. There are two resignations and one termination. We are losing 9 years of wisdom and experience with these departures. 

Twenty-two posted classified jobs pay less than the city of Santa Rosa’s minimum wage of $17.06, several paying $15 per hour. SRCS has still not made the $1,000 bonus pay obvious to anyone looking at these job postings on EdJoin as requested. Why would anyone apply for one of these sub-pay jobs as posted on EdJoin? 

F.4. Approval of Donations and Gifts

There is gratitude to a generous anonymous donor who has provided Helen Lehman $20,000 to use at the Principal’s discretion. 

There is appreciation for the Made in Santa Rosa Foundation giving Abraham Lincoln $3,300, Helen Lehman $3,500 and Proctor Terrace $1,000  to use at the Principal’s discretion.

SRTA celebrates the first clear metric expectation for renewing a contract.

F.6. Approval of New Course Proposal for Psychology and Sociology

Summary

The Board will consider approval of new semester long Psychology and semester long Sociology courses for the 2023-2024 school year.

General Psychology

Sociology

SRTA supports this course.

F.7. Approval of Contract with Dr. Jo Boaler

The Board will consider approval of a $92,000 contract with Dr. Jo Boaler and her associate, Cathy Williams, to provide Math professional development for Math teachers in grades 4th-12th, along with follow-up professional learning sessions provided for teachers in cohorts 4th-6th, 7th-8th, and High School Integrated Math 1. This contract will support teachers with tools and strategies to develop a positive sense of math identity in students and planning for Big Ideas in mathematics for multi-dimensional learning to increase student learning and access of essential math concepts.  This work will take place from 1/12/23 through 6/30/23.  

Seven days of PD will be provided at $11,429 per day.

Contract

Jo Boaler is renowned.  “Growth Mindset” lacks scientific support as a significant improvement factor, whereas climates celebrating academic success and curiosity are shown to improve student achievement.

SRTA wonders if local leaders/organizers involved in designing the Jan 27 kick off include district teachers. The Math Steering Committee has yet to be informed of this program.

Four release days will be used for follow up work with each group. It has been difficult for some teachers to attend training this year because of a lack of substitute coverage. What can SRCS do to ensure educators can participate?

What is the total amount budgeted for this program? How much are the release days required for this effort expected to cost, and where is this money coming from?

While it is appreciated that we are undertaking quality efforts for Tier 1 math instruction, there is a necessity for addressing students’ Tier 2 and Tier 3 math needs.

The board requested an item to review Math grades and progress including demographic data. Inclusion of that data here would help explain the need for this contract.

F.8. Approval of Acceptance of Arts Education Framework Grant

The Board will consider approving the acceptance of the $7,500  Arts Education Framework Grant provided by Creative Sonoma through the County of Sonoma. 

Contract

Our students benefit from education in the arts. 

F.9. Approval of Contract with A. Cuthbertson Consulting, Music Education Services

A. Cuthbertson Consulting, Music Education Service, will provide a 4-hour virtual training as part of the district’s January 27th professional development day titled Introduction to Culturally Responsive Music Education for up to 25 teachers for $6,500.

Contract

This is one of many contracts establishing services for the Jan. 27 PD day. As of Tuesday, SRTA members still await communication about the plans for this day.

F.10. Approval of the 2021/22 Annual Developer Fee Report and Resolution No. 2022/23-31

The fees are $3.48 per square foot of residential construction and $0.56 per square foot of commercial and industrial construction. There is $1.1 M ini reported expenses for last year and $1.2M in proposed expenses for this current year which includes $0.4 M for facility lease for JPA transportation (Westco Busses) and most of the rest is for rental of portables.

Report

At one point the board approved waiving developer fees. It did something like eliminate the fee on the space above the second floor of residential buildings in order to help foster the building of large housing complexes in downtown Santa Rosa. Did that waiver have a sunset date, or is it still in effect?

F.11. Approval of E-Rate Year 26 (2023-2024 Form 471 applications for service and associated discounts to provide dark fiber services and access from Sonic and DGI for Alba Lane Barn and Lewis Campus

The Board will consider approval of E-Rate Year 26 (2023-2024) Form 471 applications for service and associated discounts to provide dark fiber services and access from Sonic and DGI for Alba Lane Barn and Lewis Campus.

Measure I:       $99,004.37

Measure L:      $18,001.87

Total:               $117,006.24

 With all discounts applied, over 5 years this translates to the equivalent of a monthly fee of:

  • Alba Lane Barn — $218.41
  • Lewis campus –  $171.61

Proposal – DGI $12,000

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Discussion) Career Technical Education (CTE) Update

Summary

The Board will receive an update on Career Technical Education (CTE) programs, which will include CTE program offerings, Career Technical Student Organizations, work-based learning, and industry and post-secondary partnerships.

Update

2022-23 Program List

This list can be compared to last year’s and the prior year’s. There is great consistency with the following exceptions.

  • Veterinary Science is now offered at EAHS. 
  • At PHS the Project MAKE Pathway has been replaced with Construction Engineering and Design. 
  • Drama Production is listed as a CTE course at MHS but not at other sites. 

Is there any inclination to ensure Capstone courses exist for students in all CTE pathways?

Work-Based Learning Experiences  

This list defines possible student experiences. How are these implemented and supported? To what extent are their opportunities for students to engage with these?

CTE Program Elements

The district LCAP mentions CTE.

At the secondary level, analysis of the CCI on the Dashboard and transcript and GPA analysis for High School revealed a trend that there are a significant number of credit-deficient students and a need for proficiency in CTE coursework. The evidence-based interventions selected to address these inequities are to focus on dropout prevention and reinforcing literacy development in areas such as prioritizing caring adults, providing academic support and credit remediation options, establishing secondary writing across the curriculum, and creating small communities to connect students to relevant college and career related subjects and supports. For example, building staff capacity to track student progress via a homeroom advisory program in the continuation high school, as well as creating a school-wide writing rubric that is aligned to grade level standards to support writing across the curriculum are two of the interventions at the secondary level. Lastly, offering practical CTE courses that connect math to real life so students can earn credits in practical ways that impact their daily lives.

What does the data for grades and course completion look like? What is being done to increase proficiency in CTE coursework? 

Efforts to increase the CTE program at Elsie Allen High School have been expressed at prior board meetings.

Aug 24 Board Meeting

CTE programs support students with meeting the workforce needs of local and regional employers, provide relevant and meaningful learning experiences for students, and prepare students for postsecondary education and careers. Through the transformational work at EAHS, existing CTE programs are being redesigned, work-based learning opportunities are being developed, and new CTE Programs will be implemented. Recently, the CTE Foundation of Sonoma County was awarded an American Rescue Plan Act grant, in the amount of $1.1 million, to continue to support EAHS with reforming their education model to deliver authentic, relevant, and integrated learning experiences that prepare youth for a lifetime of success.

$277,383 in grant funds provided to EAHS for Phase 1 professional development, meeting materials and supplies, work-based learning activities, and to hire a full-time, site-based CTE TOSA to support work-based learning activities and expansion of business and community partners. The grant is for $657,509 which includes a staff member and $172,000 for a subcontractor. (A contract for this subcontractor is not found in board agendas.)

How is the EAHS CTE redesign work going? What does the envisioned program look like? 

CTE Data from board presentations

SRTA hopes the presentation will explore this data. 

  • CTE enrollment has grown by 8% from last year. 
  • The number of white students has dramatically dropped. 
  • Male and female enrollments have both shown pronounced changes. 

What does the CDE College and Career Indicator (CCI) show? The state has not been consistent in how it reports this data. SRCS students can be better prepared for College and Career.

CCI Measures of Career Readiness – CA School Dashboard (CA Dept of Education)

“Prepared” means completed a CTE Pathway with a grade of C- or better in the capstone course and met one of the additional criteria below: 

• Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments: Receive a score of Level 3 or higher in one subject area (ELA or mathematics) and a score of Level 2 or higher in the other area 

• Complete one semester/two quarters/two-trimesters of College Credit Courses with a grade of C- or better in academic/CTE subjects where college credits are awarded for each course

“Approaching Prepared” means Completed a CTE Pathway with a grade of C- or better in the capstone course

2018 CA Dashboard College and Career Indicator 30.5% of 2,052 district students are prepared.

2019 CA Dashboard College and Career Indicator 17.8% of 2,004 district students are prepared.

2020 Data from CDE shows 1130 seniors (55.7%) district wide were not CCI prepared. (This data includes all indicators, not just CTE.)

2021 Data from CDE shows 94 seniors (4.7%) district wide were ‘approaching prepared’ by completing a CTE pathway with a C- or better in a Capstone course. 4 seniors (0.2%) district wide completed a Capstone course with a C- or better AND completed UC/CSU requirements with a C or better and were ‘prepared’. (Please see the linked report for complete information.)

E.2. (Discussion) First Reading of Updated Board Policy 1312.3 Uniform Complaint Procedures

Summary

The Board will discuss the proposed revisions to Board Policy 1312.3 Uniform Complaint Procedures recommended by the California School Boards Association (CSBA).

First Read (Clean Proposal)

First Read (Uniform Complaint Procedure)

SRTA appreciated the efforts undertaken to provide the flowchart and explanations in the district COMPLAINT PROCEDURES HANDBOOK. We hope that this resource will be updated to reflect any impacts caused by changing this board policy.

E.3. (Action) 2022-23 First Interim Budget Report

Summary

The Board will consider approval of the 2022-23 First Interim Report with Qualified Certification

Presentation

SRCS First Interim Report

What state revenue is $13.8 million less than expected? This increase is more than the estimated Unidentified Fiscal Stabilization Measures that BAC (the Budget Advisory Committee) will be asked to reduce.

There appears to be a 6% absenteeism rate that dramatically impacts our ADA. What efforts are being undertaken to address this?

As revenues are being decreased by $5.5 million, why are expenses increasing by $13.4 million? 

With over 200 open positions, how is salary and benefits increasing by $4.6 million from the budgeted amount?

Where is the expected income from Prop 28 reflected in this update? How much is this? How much of this funding will be used to offset current General Fund expenses?

Isn’t COLA for 23-24 8.38% and 24-25 5.3%?

E.4. (Action) CSBA Delegate Nomination
Summary

The Board will make their nomination for the CSBA’s Delegate Assembly.

Delegate Assembly

E.5. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 132 current postings for 205 job vacancies for SRCS. 

There are 41 certificated openings (two less than the last meeting), and 1 certificated management openings (four less than last meeting). There are 163 current classified openings (three more than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (one less than last meeting.) 

SRTA welcomes Kelsey Krehbiel (EAHS), Megan Hulett (ALES), Marie-Pierre Prieur (FACS) and Lien Vo (EAHS). 

Welcome back to Michael Adams (SPSV) and Mary Jo Dailey (SPSV).

We bid farewell to Debra Inman (SLES) after nineteen years of service to our students.

This month changes to classified staff include eleven new hires. This month there is again progress on hiring. There is one resignation and four retirements. We are losing 74 years of wisdom and experience with these departures. 

Of special note, Judy Torres from duplicating is retiring after fifteen years of service to our students and staff.

Twenty posted classified jobs pay less than the city of Santa Rosa’s minimum wage of $17.06. Why would anyone apply for one of these jobs as posted on EdJoin? SRCS has not yet made the $1,000 bonus pay obvious to anyone looking at these job postings on EdJoin as requested.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Action) Resolution Recognizing November 14, 2022 as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day

Summary

Ruby Bridges is currently the chair of the Ruby Bridges Foundation, which she formed in 1999 to promote “the values of tolerance, respect, and appreciation of all differences.” She has asserted that, “Racism is a grown-up disease and we must stop using our children to spread it.” Deborah Carlino’s fifth-grade class from Martin Elementary School in the South San Francisco Unified School District learned about Ruby Bridges and were advocates for the adoption of a “Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day” as a way to honor Ruby’s role in the Civil Rights Movement. The Senate of the State of California passed Senate Resolution 59, proclaiming “November 14 … as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day.”  

Resolution

SRTA encourages teachers to take advantage of this opportunity to help students learn about Ruby Bridges.

Measure L Citizens Oversight Committee as of June 2021:

Annual Reports (Measure I) (Measure L)

2020-21 Bond Audits (Measure I) (Measure L)

SRTA appreciates the improvements to our teaching and our students’ learning environments provided for by the bond measures. Our members are hopeful that the new bond measure spending will be done with more inclusive and transparent decision making, getting the maximum impact from the funds.

E.3. (Action) Establishment of the Annual Organizational Meeting of the Board of Education

Summary

The Board is asked to establish the annual organizational meeting of the Board of Education on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. at the regularly scheduled board meeting.

E.4. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 134 current postings for 209 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 43 certificated openings (three more than the last meeting), and 5 certificated management openings (two more than last meeting). There are 160 current classified openings (twelve less than the last meeting), and one classified management position (the same as the last meeting.) 

The lack of available resources, respect for educators, and competitive salaries compared to other professions has made hiring difficult. Retention limits the need for hiring. Here is seniority data through the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2018 for retention of certificated staff.

Length of service in the district
(percentage of total certificated staff)
5 yrs or less10 yrs or less
201840%54%
202245%64%

It takes several years for teachers to orient themselves to their job and build confidence in their teaching practice. The healthy functioning of sites requires certificated staff being able to step up outside their classroom. In just five years SRCS’s staff has ten percent fewer experienced teachers available to step up in this capacity. 

SRTA acknowledges that without recent salary and benefit package improvements these parameters would be significantly worse. It is imperative that enhancements to working conditions be implemented to improve retention.

There is a NEW Director Position posted: Director of Expanded Learning Programs. There is a NEW Coordinator Position: Coordinator of Extra Curricular Interventions. The board approved these job descriptions at the last meeting. 

SRTA welcomes Sara Legesse (MHS), Caitlin Scheib (Ed Services) and Kurt Chapman (SRHS). 

This month changes to classified staff include four new hires. There are no resignations and no retirements, so this month there is progress on hiring.

Nineteen posted classified jobs pay less than the city of Santa Rosa’s minimum wage of $17.06. Why would anyone apply for one of these jobs as posted on EdJoin? SRCS has not yet made the $1,000 bonus pay obvious to anyone looking at these job postings on EdJoin as requested.

Report

F.7. Award Bid for the CCLA Roofing and HVAC Project

The Board will consider the bid award for the Cesar Chavez Language Academy (CCLA)  HVAC/Roof/Skylight Replacement Project to Arntz Builders. This project is funded through the Measure I Bond Program. $12,053,054

Recommendation

Contract Template

Can it be clarified how much of the roof will actually be replaced at CCLA? Prior projects made it appear that there would be significant roof replacement, when actually the roof work was primarily limited to just what was needed for the installation of new HVAC jacks.

F.8. Approval of the Proposal for Construction Management Services for the CCLA Roofing and HVAC Project

The Board will consider awarding the bid proposal for Greystone West to provide construction management services for the Cesar Chavez Language Academy (CCLA) roofing and HVAC project. This project is funded through the Measure I Bond Program. Cost is 3.5% of project, totaling $512,944

Proposal

Greystone has provided some of these services in recommending the above bid award. It is appreciated that this is a local firm.

F.9. Approval of CMAS Contract for the Purchase of HVAC Units for the Upcoming SRHS Phase 3 and Brook Hill ES Roof/HVAC Projects

The Board will consider approving the Siglar (Carrier) California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) Contract for HVAC units  to stabilize price and ensure availability of units for summer projects.

Brook Hill – $186,607 Measure L 

SRHS Phase 3 (minus DeSoto) – $252,895 Measure I 

Contract

SRHS

Brook Hill

SRTA appreciates the wisdom of securing these units now.

F.10. Approval of New Visual and Performing Arts Standards (VAPA) Course – Digital Audio Recording 1

The Board will consider approval of the new Digital Audio Recording 1 course for Visual and Performing Arts for the 2023-2024 school year. 

Course Proposal

SRTA supports this course.

The process of creating a new course for SRCS is not consistent. This course was proposed by Ed Services. Some course proposals have been required to come from sites, where there may not be time provided for this work. It is time to review and revise the process so it supports the time needed and can be implemented consistently.

F.11. Approval of CDPH Personnel Support for Antigen Testing Program

The Board will consider the approval of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Personnel Support for Antigen Testing Program. The vendor will work with the district/school and be responsible for administering COVID-19 testing onsite by certified personnel at locations and dates/times designated by the district/school. These additional services contracted with Mobile Med are funded separately from pre-existing COVID testing operations, and are provided at no cost to Santa Rosa City Schools.

Participant Agreement

F.12. Approval of Professional Services: Inspire Behavior Services

This contract will provide support for students with disabilities whose services through an Individual Education Plan require Temporary Adult Services. This contract  provides one full time (7 hr/day) assistant at $44 per hour and one hour per week of consultation at $95 for the remainder of the school year, totalling $40,000.

Contract

Five part time Instructional Assistants positions are on EdJoin for $17.41 per hour (and one Substitute for $18.73 per hour). $17.41 is $0.36 above minimum wage. Fourteen 0.75 FTE (part time) openings for Special Education Assistants are posted for $17.83 per hour. One Enhanced Special Ed Assistant is posted for $18.28. Two part time Special Education Assistants for ENS are posted for $19.20 per hour. There is no confusion as to why these jobs remain unfilled. This contract is for 250% of the hourly rate for similar work. Providing full time work at $44 per hour demonstrates willingness to fill a position.

Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing the Week of November 7-11 as the week of the School Psychologist

The School Psychologists who play a significant roll in the learning and success of ALL the Santa Rosa City students, most especially our exceptional students include:  Darcy Analora, Marianne Ballatore, Angela Bonner, Nancy Castillo, Kim Craven, Mina Duffy, Deanna Fontanes-Halliday, Rachael Prather, Adrianna Howarth, Emily Jacobsen, Robert Johns, Lena Bragg, Jonathan Kendall, Theresa McCormick, Matthew Park, Diane Redalia, Oriana Reis, Taryn Reynolds, Celene Rodriquez-Alfaro, Jessica Tallman, Edward Vulpe, Jennifer Magnesi, Emily Jones, and Marisa Gonzales.

Resolution

Recent upgrades to salary have helped SRCS recruit additional psychologists. It is now time to review the working conditions to ensure we can retain these folks and ensure our students are getting the continuity and level of service they deserve.

E.2. (Discussion) Petaluma Health Care District: HEARTSAFE Community

Summary

This is a presentation by Petaluma Health District’s HeartSafe Community Program and Santa Rosa City School Nurses for a discussion on becoming a “Heart Safe School District” in partnership with Petaluma Health District.

Presentation

Committing to improve safety conditions on our campuses is a positive shift. 

Systemically maintaining AEDs and replacing necessary supplies is a welcome upgrade to past practice. Adding additional AEDs, Epi-Pen and Narcan supplies and training staff on utilizing these seems prudent. Systemically training all seventh-graders in CPR is a good thing. 

There are no requirements for credentialed staff to update first aid and CPR training beyond initial certification when they first get their credential. Any non-coaching staff wanting this certification must arrange for and pay out of pocket. 

Per the contract in F-6 this $147,000 three contract will replace current expenses of just $11,000 per year. There was reference that this will be partially funded through RESIG, but an amount was not included.

E.3. (Discussion) Facilities Master Plan (FMP) Update

Summary

This update is limited to revising the estimated cost of the outstanding projects in the 2016 FMP to reflect current market conditions, at a cost of $74,120. There will be  a complete update to the FMP  if new bond measures are passed.

Update

There is no argument that SRCS facilities require maintenance and upgrades. According to this report $1.3 billion of work remains for high schools and $0.6 billion for elementary schools from that identified in the 2016 FMP. 

An initial meeting of a new stakeholder committee organized but the Superintendent is scheduled to meet Tuesday. 

IOQ scores are mentioned in this report. If these are to be a transparent part of the decision making process moving forward a better definition of IOQs is required, including the formula for calculating them, as well as a weighting of how much the IOQs will impact the spending priority decisions. 

E.4-6. (Action) Updates to COVID-19 Safety Handbook, (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and CSEA 75 Regarding COVID-19 Vaccine Status Reporting and Testing, (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and SRTA Regarding an Addendum to the Return to School Guideline

Summary

As part of the California Department of Public Health gradual transition from COVID-19 pandemic to endemic,  Employees, Contractors, and Volunteers in K-12 schools in the state of California are no longer be required to disclose their COVID-19 vaccination status and  schools would no longer be required to verify COVID-19 vaccination status for Employees, Contractors, or Volunteers, nor mandate weekly COVID-19 testing for those who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or have chosen to not disclose their vaccination status.

CDPH and SCDHS now align with CDC in using online resourcing for up-to-date masking guidance by region. 

These three action items update the handbook and agreements with labor unions.

SRCS Employee Testing Mandate

SRCS Covid Handbook (edited)

SRCS Covid Handbook (Spanish)

CSEA MOU

SRTA MOU (8-3-22)

SRTA Addendum

Recent reporting in the Press Democrat cites an uprise of local COVID cases and warns of waves of flu and RSV. SRCS must systemically educate our students on hygiene practices and remain vigilant with efforts to maintain health and safety on campuses.

E.7. (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and SRTA Regarding Individual Graduation Plans (IGP) 3.0

Summary

Recent adoption of  Individual Graduation Plans (IGP) 3.0 required agreeing to compensation to High School Counselors for the extra work to implement these plans. This MOU is based on the prior IGP MOU. It is funded by the Learning Loss Mitigation Grant Fund.

MOU

SRTA encourages the approval of this MOU compensating our counselors for the extra work they are doing for our students.

E.7. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361

F. CONSENT ITEMS 

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 136 current postings for 216 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 40 certificated openings (the same as the last meeting), and 3 certificated management openings (1 fewer than last meeting). There are 172 current classified openings (the same as the last meeting), and one classified management position (one more than the last meeting.) 

There is a NEW Director Position posted: Director of Information & Evaluation. The board approved the job description at the last meeting. 

SRTA welcomes Elise Benton (SRArts) and Richard Johnstone (RVMS).

It is noted that SRCS has now reached 27 notifications of staff at 1.2 FTE. These teachers are teaching on their prep. This is exhausting, and unsustainable. In other professions when someone works additional hours they are paid time and a half or double time in compensation. These teachers are paid straight time for these additional hours. 

This month changes to classified staff include eight new hires. There are no resignations and no retirements, so this month there is progress on hiring. It has been requested that SRCS update their classified postings on EdJoin to make the bonus pay more noticeable to anyone looking at postings on EdJoin.

The Board will consider approval of the bid proposal submitted by King Consulting to maximize state funding opportunities for our District. This contract for an estimated $30,000 will include submitting SFPs for past projects as well as new construction.

RFP

Contract

SRTA celebrates the attempt to obtain eligible funding for past and future facilities projects.

F.8. Approval of Job Description for Coordinator, Extracurricular Intervention

The Board will consider approval of the proposed job description for Coordinator, Extracurricular Intervention. This is a new temporary position fully funded by the Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant. 

Job Description

SRTA is concerned with the growth of DO Admin level positions. This item has changed from its original posting from a Director to a Coordinator.

This coordinator is in essence in charge of district physical education and athletics, which is listed on the district website as being administered by Director Alisa Haley. 

The job description calls for a BA preferably in journalism, communications, or marketing which is confusing for this position. Is this job absorbing some of the duties of site Athletic Directors or the Lead Athletic Directors? 

The emphasis in the title of this position on eligibility is confusing when there are no district systems in place for academic intervention for students, let alone student athletes. Identifying students doesn’t seem to be difficult. Creating academic support that can be offered is the issue, but that is not addressed with this position. Spending these funds on an administrator reduces the opportunities the district can use to fund actual support for students.

F.9. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Director, Extended Learning Opportunity Programs

The Board will consider approval of the proposed job description for Director of Extended Learning Opportunity Programs.

Job Description

SRTA is concerned with the growth of DO Admin level positions. 

This position will oversee the development, organization and implementation of TK-12 after school, summer school and extended learning programs including enrollment, curriculum, assessment, behavior management and staffing. 

An Admin Credential is not listed as required for this position. 

Why is this a director position, and not a coordinator position? 

This is a temporary position funded by the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program grant. At the ELO board presentation this was not mentioned. There was no intention of expanding ELOs presented at that meeting. Spending these funds on an administrator reduces the opportunities the district can fund for students.

F.10. Approval of Contract with GEMAS Consulting for English Learning Master Plan Revision

The Board will consider the approval of a contract for consulting services with GEMAS Consulting.  This contract will support the revision of the Santa Rosa City Schools English Learner Master Plan.  This plan provides a framework of instruction for Multilingual Learners to acquaint  teachers, administrators, and parents with federal, state and district policies as well as programs, resources, and staff/parent development opportunities. This costs $28,000, which will be paid with Educator Effectiveness Grant funds.

Proposal

Contract

SRTA supports the implementation of a more focused and pragmatic EL Master Plan. Reviewing 2021 state data shows that SRCS EL students have a graduation rate of only 62%, with only 3% successfully completing a-g requirements. EL students also underperform on the CAASPP.  SRCS English Learner students, including those who have been redesignated are deserving of far more than SRCS has systematically offered them. Efforts to implement a plan are long overdue, and should be fast tracked.

Human Resources Technology & Information Educational Services Business Services Superintendent

As our school sites are burdened with the continued unmet need for more adults on campus these measures appear as valuing the district first. 

There was a significant ‘right sizing’ of district admin salaries in June of 2019. 

Providing the same percentage raise escalates the income gap within the district. Cabinet salaries are significantly above the state average, while teachers have just reached the state average. (See F-8 for schedule.)

Prior SalaryCurrent SalaryState Average 2022% Difference
Superintendent$235,000$250,275$190,94531%
Assoc. Sup/CBO$202,234$208,000$69,078201%
Asst. Sup$172,706$179,614$80,127124%
Teacher (ave)$81,997$85,414$85,856-1%

Sources for state average are Salary.com, Zip Recruiter, and Transparent California.

Benefits and car expenses are not included in these calculations.

F.14. Approval of MOU with SCOE for Math Support

Summary
The purpose of this Agreement is to allow the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) to reimburse SRCS for a portion of costs associated with the Math TOSA’s contract, in an amount not to exceed $100,000.  SRCS agrees to pay for all required costs that exceed this amount.

SCOE – Math Support

This contract appears to be a repeat of an earlier contract from a prior year. How was that evaluated? How will this implementation be improved from the past attempt?

It seems prudent to include Dept Chairs at their Steering Committee meeting of intentions to engage in efforts such as these. The Math Chairs just met on October 3, and there was no information shared about this. 

Will this be an additional TOSA that will need to be hired? Will this pull an experienced Math Teacher out of their classroom, and subject another site of students to an unstaffed math position?

F.15. Approval of Contract with Nelson Staffing for Child Nutrition Service (CNS)

Summary
The Board will consider approval of the contract submitted for Nelson Connects to provide temporary workers for Child Nutrition Services.

Contract

This contract will pay Nelson 60% beyond the salary for up to five CNS staff, with the intent of hiring these temporary workers. How many temp to hires would make this effort a success?

Has SRCS advertising and recruiting been updated to highlight the bonus benefits approved by the board? Could someone looking at EdJoin miss this?

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Proclaiming October 12, 2022, as Indigenous People’s Day 

Summary

Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes that Native people are the first inhabitants of the Americas, including the lands that later became the United States of America. This resolution is in honor and supports all Indigenous People.    

Resolution

SRTA encourages integrating the true history of early America into our lessons, and engage with multiple resources Resources for Teaching People’s History

E.2. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing the Week of the School Administrator October 9 through 15

Summary

Administrators are among the hardest working, yet often least recognized individuals in education. Administrators set the academic tone for their schools, departments, and divisions, and it is their vision, dedication, and determination that provide the mobilizing force for students having equitable access to educational programs and achieving success. Santa Rosa City Schools and the Board of Education seeks to honor these unsung heroes for their tireless efforts in pursuit of excellence in education for ALL students.  The Board annually is asked to approve a resolution recognizing these contributions.

Resolution

SRTA expresses a HUGE thank you to all of our administrators who work every day to make our schools safe and welcoming centers of learning for all students.

E.3. (Action) Approval of District and School Site Safety Plans

Summary

California Education Code §32280 through §32289.5 requires the development, annual review, update and approval of Comprehensive School Safety Plans (CSSP) by March 1st. California Education Code §32280 states that all schools shall develop a CSSP that addresses the safety concerns identified through a systematic planning process. All school staff must be trained on the comprehensive school safety plan. California Education Code §32281 explains that responsibility for the CSSP belongs to the School Site Council, or may be delegated to a safety committee made up of the Principal (or designee), a Teacher, a Parent, a Classified Staff Member and, consults with Law Enforcement, Fire and local First Responder agencies (effective January 1, 2019). During the summer, safety plans were reviewed by Santa Rosa Police, Captain Dan Marincik and Santa Rosa Fire Chief Marshal Paul Lowenthal.

The SSC or Safety Committee’s responsibilities include:

  • Approving the plan,
  • Recommending it to the local governing board for approval,
  • Monitoring its implementation, and
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of the planned activities at least annually.

E.4-7. Public Hearing and Action Regarding Sufficiency of Textbooks or Instructional Materials for 2022-2023

Summary

Education Code 60119 requires school district governing boards to hold a public hearing and determine by resolution that each pupil, including English Learners, has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials, or both, that are aligned to the academic content standards and consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum frameworks adopted by the State Board of Education in the following subjects: English-language arts, including English language development, history-social science, mathematics, and science.

The Board will consider approval of Resolution No. 2022/23-24 for textbooks and/or instructional materials sufficiency.  (Education Code 60119)  The Williams vs. State of California settlement (August 13, 2004) requires that the public hearing and certification of textbooks or instructional materials occur within the first eight weeks of each school year.

E.8. (Action) Approval of Revisions to the Certificated Salary Placement Guidelines

Revisions to the Certificated Salary Placement Guidelines have been updated to allow current employees to submit verification of prior years experience for possible new salary step placement.

SRTA fully supports the proposed change to the guidelines, as well as the recommendation to place ALL employees in their proper placement on the salary schedule based on these guidelines. Since the 2019 revision, our members hired before the revision were paid less than new hires with the same experience, creating an inequity of pay in the district. This action will give our educators the correct salary placement and go a long way towards establishing equitable treatment for staff.  The salary placement guidelines will make us more competitive with surrounding districts and help us attract and retain educators.

E.9. (Action) Approval of Provisional Internship Permit Applications (PIP) for Megan Hulett and Elise Benton

The Board will consider approval of a Provisional Internship Applications (PIP) for Megan Hulett and Elise Benton.

Resumen

El Día de los Pueblos Indígenas reconoce que los nativos son los primeros habitantes de las Américas, incluidas las tierras que luego se convirtieron en los Estados Unidos de América. Esta resolución es en honor y apoyo a todos los Pueblos Indígenas.    

Resolución

SRTA fomenta la integración de la verdadera historia de los primeros Estados Unidos en nuestras lecciones y se involucra con múltiples recursos Recursos para la enseñanza de la historia popular

E.2. (Acción) Aprobación de la resolución que reconoce la semana del administrador escolar del 9 al 15 de octubre

Resumen

Los administradores se encuentran entre las personas más trabajadoras, pero a menudo menos reconocidas en la educación. Los administradores establecen el tono académico para sus escuelas, departamentos y divisiones, y es su visión, dedicación y determinación lo que proporciona la fuerza movilizadora para que los estudiantes tengan acceso equitativo a los programas educativos y logren el éxito. Las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa y la Mesa Directiva de Educación buscan honrar a estos héroes anónimos por sus esfuerzos incansables en la búsqueda de la excelencia en la educación para TODOS los estudiantes. Anualmente se solicita al Directorio que apruebe una resolución reconociendo estas contribuciones.

Resolución

SRTA expresa un ENORME agradecimiento a todos nuestros administradores que trabajan todos los días para hacer que nuestras escuelas sean centros de aprendizaje seguros y acogedores para todos los estudiantes.

E.3. (Acción) Aprobación de los planes de seguridad del distrito y del sitio escolar

Resumen

El Código de Educación de California §32280 a §32289.5 requiere el desarrollo, la revisión anual, la actualización y la aprobación de los Planes Integrales de Seguridad Escolar (CSSP) antes del 1 de marzo. El Código de Educación de California §32280 establece que todas las escuelas deben desarrollar un CSSP que aborde las preocupaciones de seguridad identificadas a través de un proceso de planificación sistemática. Todo el personal de la escuela debe recibir capacitación sobre el plan integral de seguridad escolar. El Código de Educación de California §32281 explica que la responsabilidad del CSSP pertenece al Consejo del Plantel Escolar o se puede delegar a un comité de seguridad compuesto por el Director (o su designado), un Maestro, un Padre, un Miembro del Personal Clasificado y consulta con Agencias de cumplimiento de la ley, bomberos y socorristas locales (a partir del 1 de enero de 2019). Durante el verano, los planes de seguridad fueron revisados ​​por la policía de Santa Rosa, el capitán Dan Marincik y el mariscal jefe de bomberos de Santa Rosa, Paul Lowenthal.

Las responsabilidades del SSC o Comité de Seguridad incluyen:

  • Aprobar el plan,
  • Recomendarlo a la Mesa Directiva de gobierno local para su aprobación,
  • Supervisar su implementación, y
  • Evaluar la efectividad de las actividades planificadas al menos una vez al año.

E.4-7. Audiencia pública y acción con respecto a la suficiencia de libros de texto o materiales didácticos para 2022-2023

Resumen

del Código de Educación 60119 requiere que las juntas directivas del distrito escolar celebren una audiencia pública y determinen mediante resolución que cada alumno, incluidos los estudiantes de inglés, tiene suficientes libros de texto o materiales didácticos, o ambos , que están alineados con los estándares de contenido académico y consistentes con el contenido y los ciclos de los marcos curriculares adoptados por la Mesa Directiva Estatal de Educación en las siguientes materias: lengua y literatura en inglés, incluido el desarrollo del idioma inglés, historia y ciencias sociales, matemáticas y Ciencias.

La Mesa Directiva considerará la aprobación de la Resolución No. 2022/23-24 para la suficiencia de libros de texto y/o materiales didácticos. Código de Educación 60119) El acuerdo Williams vs. El Estado de California (13 de agosto de 2004) requiere que la audiencia pública y la certificación de libros de texto o materiales didácticos ocurran dentro de las primeras ocho semanas de cada año escolar.

E.8. (Acción) Aprobación de las Revisiones a las Pautas de Colocación de Salarios Certificados

Se han actualizado las revisiones de las Pautas de colocación de salario certificado para permitir que los empleados actuales presenten verificación de la experiencia de años anteriores para una posible nueva colocación de salario.

SRTA apoya plenamente el cambio propuesto a las pautas, así como la recomendación de colocar a TODOS los empleados en su ubicación adecuada en el programa de salarios según estas pautas. Desde la revisión de 2019, a nuestros miembros contratados antes de la revisión se les pagó menos que a los nuevos empleados con la misma experiencia, lo que crea una desigualdad salarial en el distrito. Esta acción les dará a nuestros educadores la asignación salarial correcta y contribuirá en gran medida a establecer un trato equitativo para el personal. Las pautas de colocación de salarios nos harán más competitivos con los distritos circundantes y nos ayudarán a atraer y retener a los educadores.

E.9. (Acción) Aprobación de solicitudes de permisos de pasantías provisionales (PIP) para Megan Hulett y Elise Benton

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Action) Resolution to Recognize September Attendance Awareness Month 

Summary

The stated goal is to mobilize schools and communities to promote the value of good attendance and to take concrete steps toward reducing chronic absenteeism. Interventions include family contact being made by SRCS family mentors, and SART meetings. Re-engagement procedures exist for students enrolled in Independent Study including personal contacts with the family and students to learn what challenges are experienced by the family and how attendance can be improved.

Resolution

With the current system of fund allocation being dependent on attendance (ADA), as well as the knowledge that missing school interferes with academic progress, it is prudent to focus on effective measures to improve attendance, particularly early in the year before bad habits are established. 

EdData – District Profile – Santa Rosa High shows secondary students with a chronic absentee rate of around 18.5% for 2017-2019. Then a jump to 29.4% for 2020-21. The most impacted student groups with the percentage of students who are chronically absent (miss 10 or more days) are American Indian (53%), Hispanic/Latino (38%) and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders (33%).

EdData – District Profile – Santa Rosa Elementary shows elementary students with a chronic absentee rate of around 11% for 2017-2019. Then a jump to 24.9% for 2020-21. The most impacted student groups with the percentage of students who are chronically absent are American Indian (43%), Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders (35%) and Hispanic/Latino (30%).

Where is the data about the number of re-engagement contacts, and the summative data about the results of these efforts?

What is the financial impact of these absenteeisms on the district? How much money are we using to support these programs to help get students to school?

What metrics are utilized to evaluate the efforts that are being utilized to encourage attendance? 

E.2. (Action) Recognize September 15 to October 15 as Latinx Heritage Month

Summary

Latinx have had a profound and positive influence on our country through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work, and service. They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect the multiethnic and multicultural customs of their community. 15,500 students and 58% of our students are Latinx.

Resolution

5 Teacher Resources for Hispanic American Heritage Month from Facing History & Ourselves. 

E.3. (Action) Updates to COVID-19 Safety Handbook

Summary

A number of updates and/or policy revisions have been incorporated into the Handbook to align with the latest California Department of Public Health, Sonoma County Public Health Services, and Cal/OSHA policies. Additionally, a general restructuring of the Handbook was implemented in order to provide visual uniformity and improve comprehensive accessibility to current COVID guidance.

COVID-19 Safety Handbook (Changes are in Red)

What is the plan for making test kits available to students and staff? How is distribution monitored?

Volunteers

The board put a policy into place requiring on site volunteers to be vaccinated or or be tested weekly for Covid-19. This caused a reworking of the requirement of various levels of volunteers on campuses. While attempting to simplify requirements, the resulting grid actually caused great confusion. The district website now has information with four levels of clearance.

If someone is being invited into a classroom for a supervised one time brief session with students, do we actually expect them to meet the requirements of a Level 1 volunteer? This includes Fingerprinting, Copy of Photo ID, Sex Offender Search (Meghan’s Law), TB Screening Assessment, Proof of Vaccine (or submit to weekly COVID Testing) and Mandated Reporter Training. 

How do staff members know that volunteers must be cleared through the Volunteer Management System (VMS)? How do they know if this clearance has been met? 

How do schools with high unduplicated pupil counts find volunteers for Field Trips etc? The hurdles put in place disproportionately impact schools in high poverty communities.

E.4. (Discussion) West County Transportation Agency Annual Update 

Summary

SRCS and WCTA will work together on Routes, Bell Schedules, Student data between SRCS and WCTA and Field Trips.

21-22$8,001,056

General Education Home to School Transporting: $2,824,300

Special Education Transporting: $5,064,334

Update

The leap from $7 million in 19-20 to $8 million in 2021-22 is not explained. What is the expected cost for transportation for 2022-23?

Have systems been put into place to alert families of riders with special needs to inform them when a route is delayed? How can we more effectively serve this clientele?

New middle school boundaries are included in the presentation without context. Is CCLA funding transportation for their students? Is WCTA able to provide these services in a timely fashion?

What impact is expected from the Education Omnibus Budget Trailer Bill?

Are there legal issues when student transportation needs are not met? How long is it expected to take for the 19 uncovered routes to be fully covered? What will be required to make this happen? Are students on uncovered routes left to wait hours until drivers can pick up a second route after completing a covered route? If so, is it the same students/routes every day? 

What are the expected outcomes from the work on Bell Schedules? What kind of process will be used to create new schedules? Who will be included in these decisions?

Demographic Data

Were there any changes to meet the requests for longer hours and sessions, greater access to programs, and clear, more frequent and timely communication?

Where is the data used to monitor academic progress through local and state assessment data, successful course completion and credit accrual, grades, and teacher feedback? What impact does this monitoring have on the program?

Where is the data used to monitor social/emotional wellness through Panorama Survey, Youth Truth Survey, School-based therapist and counselor feedback and Teacher feedback? What impact does this monitoring have on the program?

E.6. (Discussion) Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) 3.0

Summary

Students who need IGP 3.0 will be identified through transcript analysis. Only students needing this intervention will be allowed to utilize it. All students will be expected to graduate with as many credits as possible. Students utilizing the IGP 3.0 who will not reach the 220-credit threshold will be expected to achieve 180 – 215 credits, based on their particular credit standing. The IGP 3.0 will require that students meet all CSU and UC transferability requirements to graduate, thus ensuring they meet a-g requirements. The IGP 3.0 essentially reduces the amount of elective credits students must earn to graduate so they may concentrate on core subject matter credit recovery and completion. 

Seeing that the class of 2023 is the last class of students who were in credit bearing classes at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the virus is moving into an endemic state, the IGP 3.0 will likely mark the phasing out of this intervention for SRCS.

Overview

AR 0470 (IGP 2.0)

SRTA appreciates the possibility of IGP 3.0 to allow students who have not succeeded with our a-g courses the opportunity to graduate.

Where is the data the committee reviewed to determine the need for IGP 3.0? How many seniors are currently eligible for this? How many students are so far below in credits that they are not expected to be able to meet the 180 minimum credit requirement? What option do they have to graduate?

What course completion data for current juniors indicates that continuing the IGP will no longer be necessary?

The details for participation in this plan are not attached. IGP 1.0 and 2.0 required students to continue to be enrolled in courses that they did not need to pass to graduate. This caused student grief and created less than ideal classroom conditions. Will students be able to enroll in courses that will better suit their individual needs, or will they be required to attend classes they do not need or want?

E.7. (Action) 2021-22 Unaudited Actuals

Summary
This Unaudited Actuals financial report represents the District’s financial position after all revenues and expenditures for goods and services received between July 1 and June 30 have been recorded to the district general ledger and ending reserve balances determined. SRCS ended the 2021-22 fiscal year with a combined revenue total of $210,640,586 in the General Fund. This is an increase of $3,216,103 from the Estimated Actuals. SRCS ended the 2021-22 fiscal year with a combined expenditure total of $212,029,599 in the General Fund. This is an increase of $1,804,622 from the Estimated Actuals.

Financial Report

Presentation

Revenues were $24 million more than budgeted. Expenses were $15 million more than budgeted in June. Notable areas with actuals exceeding budgeted amounts include an additional $6 million on books and supplies and $5 million more spent on Services and Other Operating Expenses. 

The ending balance of $32.6 million is $24.1 million more than budgeted. 

A promised summative report on Covid 19 income and expenses will help further understanding of SRCS finances, as will a promised summative report on Bond finances.

SRCS is required to meet a 55% cost of education expense for classroom compensation. The unaudited actuals show 55.15% spent on direct classroom costs. 

The Budget Advisory Committee has not been convened since February.

CTE prior job experience should also be acknowledged with credit to placement. 
  • Update on current Bond projects (7/27 9/28/22)

A summary of the past bond initiative has been promised. It would be most helpful if this item could be used to inform our community of the broad needs that go beyond general fund abilities. Ideally this would include:

  • Large facility projects A summative report that makes it easy to see which projects were completed at what cost, a comparison of expenses by site. Showing what was expended on plans, oversight, and consultants as compared to contractors would be helpful. 
  • Ongoing facility maintenance Explicitly summarizing ongoing expected facility maintenance requirements and expenses would be helpful such as the timeline for furniture replacement, flooring, fixtures, etc. The ongoing need to replace the synthetic high school fields and tracks should be enumerated as well.
  • Technology An overview of the cost of technology should be included. What are the ongoing expenses to provide connectivity for the district? What is the replacement timeline and expected cost for hardware, both in terms of providing service and devices for students and staff? 

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

  • A-G Program Review and Reconsideration (board request 8/10)
  • Deferred Maintenance Update and Future Planning (7/27 8/24)

E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN / ACCIÓN

E.1. (Acción) Resolución para reconocer el mes de concientización sobre la asistencia de septiembre 

Resumen

El objetivo declarado es movilizar a las escuelas y comunidades para promover el valor de la buena asistencia y tomar medidas concretas para reducir el ausentismo crónico. Las intervenciones incluyen el contacto familiar realizado por mentores familiares de SRCS y reuniones SART. Existen procedimientos de reincorporación para los estudiantes inscritos en el estudio independiente, incluidos los contactos personales con la familia y los estudiantes para aprender qué desafíos experimenta la familia y cómo se puede mejorar la asistencia.

Resolución

Dado que el sistema actual de asignación de fondos depende de la asistencia (ADA), así como el conocimiento de que faltar a la escuela interfiere con el progreso académico, es prudente centrarse en medidas efectivas para mejorar la asistencia, particularmente a principios de año antes de que se establezcan malos hábitos.

EdData – Perfil del Distrito – Santa Rosa High muestra estudiantes de secundaria con una tasa de ausentismo crónico de alrededor del 18.5% para 2017-2019. Luego, un salto al 29.4% para 2020-21. Los grupos de estudiantes más afectados con el porcentaje de estudiantes que están crónicamente ausentes (faltan 10 días o más) son los indios americanos (53%), los hispanos/latinos (38%) y los nativos de Hawái o de las islas del Pacífico (33%).

EdData – Perfil del distrito – La escuela primaria Santa Rosa muestra a los estudiantes de primaria con una tasa de ausentismo crónico de alrededor del 11 % para 2017-2019. Luego, un salto al 24.9% para 2020-21. Los grupos de estudiantes más afectados con el porcentaje de estudiantes que están crónicamente ausentes son los indios americanos (43%), nativos de Hawái o de las islas del Pacífico (35%) e hispanos/latinos (30%).

¿Dónde están los datos sobre el número de contactos de reincorporación y los datos acumulativos sobre los resultados de estos esfuerzos?

¿Cuál es el impacto financiero de estos ausentismos en el distrito? ¿Cuánto dinero estamos usando para apoyar estos programas para ayudar a que los estudiantes vayan a la escuela?

¿Qué métricas se utilizan para evaluar los esfuerzos que se utilizan para fomentar la asistencia? 

E.2. (Acción) Reconocer del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre como el Mes de la Herencia

Resumen

Los latinos han tenido una influencia profunda y positiva en nuestro país a través de su fuerte compromiso con la familia, la fe, el trabajo arduo y el servicio. Han realzado y moldeado nuestro carácter nacional con tradiciones centenarias que reflejan las costumbres multiétnicas y multiculturales de su comunidad. 15,500 estudiantes y el 58% de nuestros estudiantes son latinos.

Resolución

5 recursos docentes para el Mes de la Herencia Hispanoamericana de Facing History and Ourselves. 

E.3.del Manual de Seguridad de COVID-19

Resumen

Se han incorporado varias actualizaciones y/o revisiones de políticas en el Manual para alinearse con las políticas más recientes del Departamento de Salud Pública de California, los Servicios de Salud Pública del Condado de Sonoma y Cal/OSHA. Además, se implementó una reestructuración general del Manual para proporcionar uniformidad visual y mejorar la accesibilidad integral a la guía actual de COVID.

Manual de seguridad de COVID-19 (los cambios están en rojo)

¿Cuál es el plan para hacer que los kits de prueba estén disponibles para los estudiantes y el personal? ¿Cómo se controla la distribución?

voluntarios

La Mesa Directiva implementó una política que requiere que los voluntarios en el sitio se vacunen o se hagan la prueba semanalmente para detectar Covid-19. Esto provocó una reelaboración del requisito de varios niveles de voluntarios en los campus. Al intentar simplificar los requisitos, la red resultante en realidad causó una gran confusión. El sitio web del distrito ahora tiene información con cuatro niveles de autorización.

Si se invita a alguien a un salón de clases para una breve sesión supervisada de una sola vez con los estudiantes, ¿realmente esperamos que cumpla con los requisitos de un voluntario de Nivel 1? Esto incluye toma de huellas dactilares, copia de identificación con foto, búsqueda de delincuentes sexuales (Ley de Meghan), evaluación de detección de TB, prueba de vacuna (o presentación de prueba semanal de COVID) y capacitación obligatoria para reporteros. 

¿Cómo saben los miembros del personal que los voluntarios deben ser aprobados a través del Sistema de Gestión de Voluntarios (VMS)? ¿Cómo saben si se ha cumplido con esta autorización? 

¿Cómo pueden  las escuelas con un alto número de alumnos sin duplicar encontrar voluntarios para excursiones, etc.? Los obstáculos establecidos impactan desproporcionadamente a las escuelas en comunidades de alta pobreza.

¿Se han implementado sistemas para alertar a las familias de los pasajeros con necesidades especiales para informarles cuando una ruta se retrasa? ¿Cómo podemos servir más eficazmente a esta clientela?

Los nuevos límites de la escuela intermedia se incluyen en la presentación sin contexto. ¿Está CCLA financiando el transporte para sus estudiantes? ¿Puede WCTA proporcionar estos servicios de manera oportuna?

¿Qué impacto se espera del Proyecto de Ley de Remolque Presupuestario Ómnibus de Educación?

¿Hay problemas legales cuando no se satisfacen las necesidades de transporte de los estudiantes? ¿Cuánto tiempo se espera que tarden en cubrirse por completo las 19 rutas descubiertas? ¿Qué se requerirá para que esto suceda? ¿Se deja que los estudiantes en rutas descubiertas esperen horas hasta que los conductores puedan tomar una segunda ruta después de completar una ruta cubierta? Si es así, ¿son los mismos estudiantes/rutas todos los días? 

¿Cuáles son los resultados esperados del trabajo sobre horarios de campana? ¿Qué tipo de proceso se utilizará para crear nuevos horarios? ¿Quién estará incluido en estas decisiones?

E.6. (Discusión) Plan de Graduación Individual (IGP) 3.0

Resumen

Los estudiantes que necesiten IGP 3.0 serán identificados a través del análisis de transcripciones. Solo los estudiantes que necesiten esta intervención podrán utilizarla. Se espera que todos los estudiantes se gradúen con tantos créditos como sea posible. Se espera que los estudiantes que utilicen IGP 3.0 y que no alcancen el umbral de 220 créditos alcancen entre 180 y 215 créditos, según su historial crediticio particular. El IGP 3.0 requerirá que los estudiantes cumplan con todos los requisitos de transferibilidad de CSU y UC para graduarse, asegurando así que cumplan con los requisitos ag. El IGP 3.0 esencialmente reduce la cantidad de créditos electivos que los estudiantes deben obtener para graduarse, de modo que puedan concentrarse en la recuperación y finalización de créditos de materias básicas. 

Al ver que la clase de 2023 es la última clase de estudiantes que estaban en clases con créditos al comienzo de la pandemia de COVID-19, y que el virus se está convirtiendo en un estado endémico, es probable que IGP 3.0 marque la eliminación gradual de esta intervención para SRCS.

Resumen

AR 0470 (IGP 2.0)

SRTA aprecia la posibilidad de IGP 3.0 para permitir que los estudiantes que no han tenido éxito con nuestros cursos de a-g tengan la oportunidad de graduarse.

¿Dónde están los datos que revisó el comité para determinar la necesidad de IGP 3.0? ¿Cuántas estudiantes de año 12 son elegibles actualmente para esto? ¿Cuántos estudiantes están tan por debajo de los créditos que no se espera que puedan cumplir con el requisito mínimo de 180 créditos? ¿Qué opción tienen para graduarse?

¿Qué datos de finalización del curso para los juniors actuales indican que ya no será necesario continuar con el IGP?

Los detalles para la participación en este plan no se adjuntan. IGP 1.0 y 2.0 requerían que los estudiantes continuarán inscritos en cursos que no necesitaban aprobar para graduarse. Esto provocó ansiedad en los estudiantes y creó condiciones de clase menos que ideales. ¿Podrán los estudiantes inscribirse en cursos que se adapten mejor a sus necesidades individuales, o se les exigirá que asistan a clases que no necesitan o no desean?

E.7.de datos reales no auditados de 2021-22

Resumen

Este informe financiero de datos reales no auditados representa la posición financiera del distrito después de que todos los ingresos y gastos por bienes y servicios recibidos entre el 1 de julio y el 30 de junio se hayan registrado en el libro mayor del distrito y se hayan determinado los saldos de reserva finales. SRCS finalizó el año fiscal 2021-22 con un ingreso total combinado de $210,640,586 en el Fondo General. Este es un aumento de $3,216,103 de los valores reales estimados. SRCS finalizó el año fiscal 2021-22 con un gasto total combinado de $212,029,599 en el Fondo General. Este es un aumento de $1,804,622 de los valores reales estimados.

Informe Financiero

Presentación

Los ingresos fueron $24 millones más de lo presupuestado. Los gastos fueron $15 millones más de lo presupuestado en junio. Las áreas notables con cifras reales que exceden los montos presupuestados incluyen $6 millones adicionales en libros y suministros y $5 millones más gastados en servicios y otros gastos operativos. 

El saldo final de $32.6 millones es $24.1 millones más de lo presupuestado. 

Un informe resumido prometido sobre los ingresos y gastos de Covid 19 ayudará a una mayor comprensión de las finanzas de SRCS, al igual que un informe resumido prometido sobre las finanzas de los bonos.

Se requiere que SRCS cubra un 55% del costo de los gastos de educación para la compensación del salón de clases. Los datos reales no auditados muestran que el 55.15 % se gastó en costos directos del aula. 

El Comité Asesor de Presupuesto no ha sido convocado desde febrero.

  • Audiencia pública sobre la suficiencia de libros de texto/materiales de instrucción (9/28/22)
    • Con el uso reducido de libros de texto y el cambio a la utilización de materiales digitales y de fuente abierta, ¿puede este elemento incluir un lenguaje específico para aclarar a todas las partes interesadas los requisitos de suficiencia específicos? apropiado para las condiciones actuales del salón de clases? ¿Además de especificar el proceso para remediar cualquier caso de insuficiencia?
  • Pautas de colocación de salario certificado (9/28/22) 
    • Los nuevos empleados reciben crédito de servicio que no se extiende a los empleados existentes. La SRTA solicita que este elemento de la agenda aborde las desigualdades en la asignación de salarios para los miembros contratados con experiencia docente acreditada, incluso cuando los lugares de empleo no exigían credenciales, así como el servicio militar y el crédito de servicio del Cuerpo de Paz. La experiencia laboral previa de CTE también debe reconocerse con crédito para la colocación. 
  • Actualización sobre los proyectos de bonos actuales (7/27 9/28/22)

Se ha prometido un resumen de la iniciativa de bonos pasada. Sería de gran ayuda si este artículo pudiera usarse para informar a nuestra comunidad sobre las necesidades generales que van más allá de las capacidades del fondo general. Idealmente, esto incluiría:

  • Proyectos de instalaciones grandes- Un informe resumido que facilita ver qué proyectos se completaron a qué costo, una comparación de gastos por sitio. Sería útil mostrar lo que se gastó en planes, supervisión y consultores en comparación con los contratistas. 
  • Mantenimiento continuo de las instalaciones Sería útil resumir explícitamente los requisitos y gastos de mantenimiento continuo esperados de las instalaciones, como el cronograma para el reemplazo de muebles, pisos, accesorios, etc. También se debe enumerar la necesidad continua de reemplazar los campos y pistas sintéticas de la escuela secundaria.
  • Tecnología debe incluir una descripción general del costo de la tecnología. ¿Cuáles son los gastos continuos para brindar conectividad al distrito? ¿Cuál es el cronograma de reemplazo y el costo esperado del hardware, tanto en términos de brindar servicios como de dispositivos para los estudiantes y el personal?
