C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

SRTA members are invited to complete ‘blue cards’ in person or raise their hands and provide voice only comments if attending online. Please put SRTA at the start of your online name. Please be prepared to observe the recent practice of a two minute limit. Only items not on the agenda are addressed at this time, so safety items would be addressed here.

Comments are requested at the board meeting to bring a member’s perspective and share real experiences of the impact of district policies and practices. There is an invitation for comments on specific items during each item, so they need to be held until then.

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.

Article IX of the California State Constitution says, “All public-school students shall have the right to a high-quality public education that provides them with the skills necessary to fully participate in the economy, our democracy, and our society.” What policies can SRCS enact to protect the rights of all students to not have their learning environment destroyed by bad choices and behaviors of a few fellow classmates?

The article in Sunday’s Press Democrat Slater Middle School teachers: We’ve had enough after violent middle-school melee | PD Plus sums up so much.

D.3. The Superintendent’s report will include an update on the Safety Advisory Round Table (SART) and the Superintendent’s Annual Report.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Discussion) Empowering Student Learning Through Technology

The Board will receive information and a demonstration about the use of classroom technology, which is a set standard across the district.

ViewSonic (Why) (Panel Display) (Education Solutions)

LightSpeed (Redcat Data Sheet) (Student & Teacher Mics)

How do we maintain the 1:1 Chromebook Program? Is 1:1 the best way to ensure students have technology access when needed? If students do not bring a device to class, is there a system to ensure they are not penalized from learning that day?

When creating and practicing our implementation plans, is there a pause to evaluate metrics and ensure expectations are being met as intended, allowing for adjustments as needed?

SRTA members request equity. Not all classrooms have the same needs. Our technology policies should have flexibility to meet the needs of all. Placing the same equipment in the same place in each room doesn’t account for the variability of the sun impacting visibility. Providing the same equipment in each room, disallowing the replacement of equipment that meets the functional needs of a class and forcing the change to other technology is not an effective implementation plan.

E.2. (Discussion) Update on Child Nutrition Services (CNS) Department

Summary

The attached additional information contains the takeaways of this presentation.

Goals 1. Hire and retain excellent staff. 2. Prepare and serve from scratch food that meets students’ needs and reflects the community we serve. 3. Invest in infrastructure to prepare and serve meals that meet students’ needs. Heavily packaged food can not be replaced with food from scratch until more staff is hired and equipment and preparation facility is updated. 4. Nutrition Education and taste testing The goal is to have students taste test items to assist in the development process. 5. Local procurement The goal is to increase the use of local items.

Ethnic Studies Graduation Presentation

Additional Information

SRTA members appreciate the efforts to feed all of our students.

There are widespread concerns about the quality of food being offered to our students, indicated by parent feedback at the recent district LCAP meetings.

E.3. (Action) Form a Board Subcommittee in Relationship with the City of Santa Rosa

Summary

The Board will consider forming a Board subcommittee with the City of Santa Rosa, focused on relationship building, and safety and security.

SRTA supports bringing back SROs to school campuses possibly with modifications

E.4. (Action) Approval of First Read, and Potential Waive of Second Read for CSBA Updated Policy 6146.1 – High School Graduation Requirements: Ethnic Studies

Summary

Old language: Beginning with the class of 2025, a single two-semester course or two semesters (10 credits) of any a-g offerings in Ethnic Studies developed pursuant to Education Code 51226.7. Any Ethnic Studies course taken must meet a UC/CSU a-g course requirement and shall also accrue credit for coursework in the subject that course is offered.

New language: Beginning with the class of 2025, successful completion of a single two-semester course or two semesters (10 credits) of any a-g offerings in Ethnic Studies, including courses offered through dual or concurrent enrollment. Any Ethnic Studies course taken shall meet a UC/CSU a-g course requirement and shall also accrue credit for coursework in the subject that course is offered. Completion of the middle school Ethnic Studies elective course with a grade of ‘C’ or better prior to grade 9 shall satisfy the graduation requirement, though high school credits will not be awarded.

Ethnic Studies Waiver ‘25-’26

BP 6146.1 (Strikeouts) (Clean)

SRTA honors the intent of this requirement and the effort put into implementing it.

The last presentation asked for more time. The response from board members was, “What do you need?”

Students can be negatively impacted by the use of a waiver as identifying as “A current senior who cannot meet the Ethnic Studies requirement.” This can be interpreted that the fault is with the student, not that our system hasn’t had the time to provide the needed smorgasbord of choices for 100 percent implementation.

Current plans will require some students to take Ethnic Studies courses outside the district to fulfill district requirements, even for the class of 2027.

E.5. (Discussion) First Reading of Updated Board Policy 6146.1 – High School Graduation Requirements: Special Education

Summary

Every student with a disability should have an opportunity to earn a high school diploma that allows them to pursue any postsecondary college, training, or employment options, and meaningfully and fully participate in their community. The expectation under the IDEA is that every student receives the support and services they need in order to access the same opportunities as their peers without disabilities. This includes a high school diploma.

Based on the student’s experiences and input from the family, student, and school staff, the IEP team may consider other pathway options. This regulation expects IEP teams to consider the most rigorous and general education compatible graduation pathway that is appropriate for the individual student. The decision to allow an alternative pathway for graduation is made by the Administrative Designee at the meeting as in any IEP.

Summary

Draft

Exhibit 1

High School Graduation Requirements

Is this intended for students with mild to moderate, and moderate to severe learning disabilities, students who have Extensive Support Needs, and students who formerly were served in Special Day Classes?

What additional support and services will be available to assist students with these additional requirements?

Will this shift deny these students the services current 18-21 years old get with job training and placement?

Is the intention to say, “We offered the opportunity,” or are there plans in place to evaluate the success of these requirements, and make necessary adjustments?

E.6. (Action) Governor’s May Revision Update to the Proposed 2023-24 State Budget

Summary

The Governor’s May Revise for the 2023-24 California State Budget includes a 8.22% COLA, as well as cuts to other current block grant funds. The overall result is an improvement to the bottom line.

K-12 Revision

Next fall the Budget Advisory Committee is scheduled to look at structural ways to provide a stronger ongoing financial situation.

E.7. (Action) Approval of Proposed Revisions to the Certificated Guest Teacher and Classified Substitute Salary Schedule Rates

Summary

This extends the sub pay structure from this year to next year. Subs will get $200/day short term and $300/day if they are in a long term (more than 6 days) placement. If someone completes 40 days of full-time subbing there is a $1,500 bonus payable in June.

Rates Comparison

‘23-’24 Rates

SRTA is grateful for those that sub in our classes.

Beginning intern teachers start at $311 per day, $11 more than long term subs. They do not qualify for the bonus which equals $8 per day if applied over the entire year.

SRCS has a difficult time attracting and retaining highly qualified staff, as evidenced by the next four agenda items. There are several classes of students who currently have no assigned teacher. When a substitute takes one of these jobs, there is no structure for support. Who is providing lesson plans? Who is copying or posting to Google Classroom? Who is grading? Who is entering grades into Aeries? What does it take to create a system to support these substitutes and students?

There will be shifts to implementation of the Frontline system for next year so that teachers will select pre-slugged half days or full days, depending on their site schedules. Sub half days will be up to four hours.

If a teacher’s pay is docked to cover the expense of a sub, that teacher should be able to have the sub work ‘for them’ the entire day, without the sub being required to cover another absence during a prep time.

When a substitute does not accept a job, other teachers can volunteer to cover for pay. There is not a good system allowing for this volunteering if the absent teacher provides instruction while the teacher has prep time, such as an elementary music or PE teacher.

E.8, 9, & 11. (Action) Approval of Provisional Internship Permit Application (PIP) for Taylor Barstow, Celina Luna, & Dylan Santiago

Summary

The Board will consider approval of a Provisional Internship Permit Application (PIP) for Taylor Barstow, Celina Luna, and Dylan Santiago. Applicants agree to “complete core academic area subject matter to enroll in an intern program for the Education Specialist Instruction Preliminary Credential (academic areas include art, English, foreign language, mathematics, music, science, social science, and multiple subjects.)”

Taylor Barstow

Celine Luna

Dylan Santiago

E.9. (Action) Approval of Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP) for Kurt Chapman

Summary

The Board will consider approval of a Short-Term Staff permit (STSP) with the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for Kurt Chapman to be placed as a moderate/severe education specialist. “This individual is unable to enroll in a Commission-approved intern program due to timelines, lack of space in the program, or needs to complete core area subject matter (for education specialist permit.)”

Kurt Chapman

F. CONSENT ITEMS

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 138 current postings for 238 job vacancies for SRCS.

There are 90 certificated openings (two more the last meeting), and 6 certificated management openings (three less than the last meeting). There are 142 current classified openings (nine more than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as the last meeting.)

Credentialed positions have completed the internal posting window and are now available for public applications. This late posting date has eliminated several worthy candidates from consideration, as they have already completed the hiring process for other districts.

SRTA bids farewell to those two members resigning at the end of the year taking nineteen years of service and experience between them: Philip Nymark (HLES), James Harrington (ABES), Carrie Bray (SRCAS), Jeffrey Brazie (HLES), Sandra Hernandez (EAHS) and Marisa Gonzales (SPSV). We wish you well with your future endeavors. To date there are 50 certificated resignations.

Congratulations to those retiring in June after eighty-six years of combined service to our students: Robert Oliver (HLES), Stephen Beebout (MHS), Vilia Mangelsdorf (SRHS) and Lori Lapham (LBES.) To date there are 32 certificated retirements.

Administrators with more than three years in our district are provided the right to continue employment in a classroom position. Administrative reassignments include Albert Ettedgui (MCHS) to teacher at RHS, Adam Paulson (MHS) to teacher at MCHS, Victoria Nelson (LBES) to CSI Teacher on Special Assignment at HCMS, Laura Hendrickson (HCMS) to Administrator on Special Assignment and Patricia Delzell (HCMS) to teacher at HSMS. Administrative resignations include Mark Cimolino (EAHS) and Stephen Coyle (RVMS.)

SRTA extends a fond farewell to Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources

Michael Shepherd as he moves on from our district.

This month changes to classified staff include seven new hires, eight resignations and two retirements.

F.10. Approval of New Course Proposal: Small Group Instruction

The Board will consider adding a new course title “Small Group Instruction” for Special Education classes to provide small class structures for core academic classes to replace existing “tracked” special education courses listed as Level 3 and Level 2.

Parent Notice

Course Codes

Is this the new name and plan for previous Directed Study classes? How does this change impact class size and caseload limits? All current documentation uses RSP, SDC and ESN notations. The spirit of these agreements must be maintained.

F.11. Approval of Job Description for Operations Manager, Child Nutrition Services

The Board will consider approval of the Job Description for Operations Supervisor, Child Nutrition Services.

Job Description

It is clear from the earlier agenda item that staffing at CNS is an issue. This appears to be a new administrative position with the responsibility of overseeing CNS operations on sites. Much of the job description seems to overlap the Director of CNS, whom this position will report to.

F.12. Approval of Job Description for Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA)

The Board will consider approval of the Job Description for Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA).

Job Description Draft

F.13. Approval of Job Description for Coordinator, Multilingual Services

The Board will consider approval of the Job Description for Coordinator, Multilingual Services.

Job Description

This appears to be an additional position at the district office. SRTA appreciates having a coordinator do administrative duties instead of a TOSA. Will this position include the elimination of a TOSA position?

Can a document be created that specifies the difference between a TOSA, a Coordinator and a Director at the district office?

F.14. Approval of Job Description for Coordinator, Alternative Education

The Board will consider approval of the Job Description for Coordinator, Alternative Education.

Job Description

SRTA appreciates that our Alternative Education offerings require attention and development. This person will lead the District’s Alternative Education Steering Committee.

F.15. Approval of Proposal from Van Pelt Construction Services for Program Management for Bond Measures C & G

This contract is for $114,537 per month for five years for a total of $6,872,220.

VPCS Service Package

This contract is charged at 1.46% of the total bond funds. It appears this is for construction services. If an allotment of bond funds are spent on technology and technology infrastructure, will this contract cover that also?

Is this contract instead of hiring a district bond Project Manager and Senior Secretary or in addition to?

Will this service include post construction follow up for warranty items?

F.16. Approval for Professional Services Proposal for Axia Architects for the Architectural and Engineering of the Helen Lehman Roofing and HVAC Project (Measure L)

Safety (board statement on 3/8/23 that this will be a future item)

The California Constitution states, “All students and staff of public … schools have the inalienable right to attend campuses which are safe, secure, and peaceful.” (Article 1, Section 28(f).

What are the steps for intervening when a student creates a disruptive and/or unsafe situation for other students and staff?

Some current practices seem to protect bullies and tolerate intimidation without intervention.

What changes to discipline practices have been put into place since March 1?

What is the current discipline policy and process? When are police contacted? How is SRCS keeping track of contacts with the police in order to be able to address the underlying issues?

What are the consequences for cutting a class? Students not experiencing any repercussions are wandering our campuses instead of attending classes. This can lead to unsafe conditions for other students.

What are the staffing ratios of adult supervisors expected to be on our campuses?

What are the MTSS staffing ratios expected to be on our campuses, including Restorative Specialists, Family Facilitators, Student Facilitators, Counselors, Psychologists, Therapists, Behavioral Specialists, and others?

An audit of the programs for students with special needs is called for. Have we been able to attract and retain the necessary employees to run these programs effectively?

What anti-bullying efforts are we implementing?

How many students are not coming to campus because they don’t feel safe? It is a hardship on teachers to provide independent study.

A-G Program Review (board request 8/10/22)

What does the data look like about A-G Completion since this policy was adopted? Where is data on students that are not on track to graduate? How helpful were prior IGPs in allowing students to earn diplomas? How many current seniors (even with the IGP), juniors and sophomores are not on track to graduate? How many of these students are meeting the state requirements for a diploma but not the extra requirements of our district?

C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

Steele Lane Elementary’s staff held a listening session where concerns were aired about many topics around school safety and learning loss and how current district policies and decisions are impacting safety and learning at our schools. Examples of concerns raised are

Learning is regularly disrupted for multiple classrooms due to extreme behaviors of one student. That current district policies and discipline decisions are accidentally teaching students that it is normal and ok to stay in an abusive relationship as students with extreme behaviors such as throwing furniture and injuring adults are not given appropriate consequences. Other students are forced to remain in a class with students who frequently exhibit extreme behaviors while no observable consequences are given to the student for their behavior.
Parents are not being informed when extreme, violent behaviors require their child to be evacuated from class in order to protect them from harm caused by these behaviors. Sometimes evacuations are required multiple times in the same week, or even the same day. Parents are also not informed when their child witnesses acts of violence in their classroom so that they can help deal with the trauma inflicted by these incidents. Students don’t inform their parents because they are worried about getting in trouble.
Restorative practices are ineffective because they are not implemented with boundaries and logical consequences which are a normal part of implementation. These consequences are part of how an individual repairs the damage they caused to others. The lack of sufficient staffing such as a full time restorative specialist also severely limits RP effectiveness. Having a restorative specialist Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday means that any issues that they could help resolve starting at around 11am on Thursday have to wait 4+ days until the following Tuesday to be addressed.
Unsafe conditions in classrooms because support staff are not available to help address them. This regularly happens due to six or more people being tasked with supporting one student when extreme behaviors are exhibited.
Behaviorists being assaulted by a student multiple times and being told to “be ready to be hit [by students], it is part of the job”.
The process for getting students through the SST/IEP process to move them to an appropriate placement is broken as it regularly takes more than six months during which the student is not learning as much as they could because they are not receiving appropriate supports, and the learning environment for all other students is disrupted.
Massive class sizes and combo classes having severe negative impact on behaviors, student learning, and the ability to implement restorative practices.
- This year SL has two 4th grades, one 5th grade, one 5th/6th combo, and one 6th grade. Next year we are scheduled to have the same allotment of teachers.
  - Class sizes:
  - 4th – 19 and 22
  - 5th – 32
  - 5th/6th combo – 31
  - 6th – 32
- One additional teacher to remove the combo brings all class sizes below 24 students per class.
From a staff member, “This is my school of residence and I am going to have a hell of a time convincing my [spouse] to let my kids come here. I want the diversity and inclusion and our staff for my child. But they want safety and it is going to be a fight to walk our daughter [the short distance] to this school. She deserves having the resources and the kids here right now deserve the resources right now.”
From a different staff member, “Why can’t we be a staff focused district as well as a student focused district?… I am tired… due to all the other worries I have about our students, our staff, our school. As we say with our kids, ‘my cup is empty’ [and I don’t have anything left to give].”

From our middle school members: Only 1-day suspensions are being implemented. There are no consequences for cutting, dress code violation or cell phones. The tardy bell is a suggestion. Discipline needs to be a collective effort from parents, admin, and teachers.

From our high school members: Substitutes are necessary for Administrator and Campus Supervisor Absences for site safety. Montgomery reports a positive impact from extra administration on campus.

D.3. The Superintendent’s report will include an update on the Safety Advisory Round Table (SART)

This item is intended to include the first concrete steps that are suggested by the committee.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Action) Resolution for Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental wellness is essential to learning, overall health, and well-being. This school year we also appreciate our Tier 1 mental health supports: our school staff. We thank our staff for their awareness, empathy, and willingness to meet students “where they are” so we can support students in their education: classroom teachers, Restorative Specialists, Student Advisors, Campus Supervisors, and all the staff in our system that support positive, humanizing, engaging, and safe environments every day.

Guide

SRTA members are appreciated for the work they do to support our students’ mental health. Please acknowledge those on your campus who provide this support.

E.2. (Action) Resolution Recognizing National School Nurse Day (May 10)

Summary

School Nurses work with students with chronic and acute health conditions and health needs met at school, school nurses are also strong advocates on behalf of school and children at the district and state policy levels.

SRTA appreciates our nurses: Nicholo Atup, Amanda Arend, Cheryl Closser, Heather Ginnever, Elizabeth Munns, Alison O’Herlihy, Jennifer Rodriguez, and Sangmo Witzman .

Members are encouraged to share their appreciation!

E.3. (Action) Resolution Recognizing May as the Month of Better Hearing and Speech

Summary

Students are better able to access their education and their lives are changed for the better as a result of what Speech-Language Pathologists in the public-school system do. Better Hearing and Speech Month highlights the tremendous impact that Speech-Language Pathologists can have in helping students achieve improved communication for school success and life.

SRTA extends appreciation to all our SLPs: Tamara Baganz, Sarena Bailey, Tina Boaz, Tessa Bonner, Kate Connor, Amanda Call, Peter Lounibos, Anna Lundborg, Jamie Mariscal, Mark McLay, Koa Morgan, Jennifer Nevolo-Alwood, Jill Pettit, Nora Pike, Patrick Pike, Macey Roehrick, Steve Schultz, Angie Thompson, Danielle Ullyott, and Taylor Van Bebber.

E.4. (Action) Trustee Area 7 Candidate Interviews to Select a Board Member Due to Vacancy

Summary

The Board will conduct interviews of two candidates and vote for the person to fill the Trustee Area 7 vacancy created by the resignation of Laurie Fong. The two candidates who will participate in the interviews are as follows:

1. Jeremy De La Torre
2. Deanna Olivarez

E.5. (Discussion) Update on Facilities Master Plan

Summary

The District has awarded Quattrocchi Kwok Architects (QKA) the update and revision of the 2016 Facilities Master Plan. TOp impact items include covered eating areas, upgrade and reconfigure restrooms, perimeter fencing and access control, Kinder and TK classrooms, maintenance items, address portables, support staff spaces and outdoor learning spaces.

Indicators of Quality values will be assigned to all projects to inform board.

Update

SRTA members are encouraged to participate in the Facilities Master Plan meetings at their site. The best outcomes are possible with engaged participation.

The site meetings that have taken place so far have gone well. There are plans for each site committee to reconvene in the fall to review the summative work of the architects, and provide input on prioritization.

We still await the process for choosing projects for the bond funds. The new Superintendent’s Advisory Network is expected to play a role in this.

E.6. Action) Approval of Memorandum of Understanding Regarding 2023-2024 Classified Employee Calendar

Summary

The classified work year calendar for 2023-2024 includes a total of 242 workdays divided as follows (based on 260 days):

Calendar MOU

SRTA supports this MOU which aligns with the certificated calendar agreed to in December.

E.7. (Action) Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators

Summary

Staff is requesting approval of the applications for the Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for the Santa Rosa City Schools Elementary and High School Districts which will be submitted to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. These declarations allow the district to hire up to 100 interns because of the expected inability to attract and hire fully qualified candidates. Last meeting SRCS contracted with NSCOE for 107 interns which would seem to include new hires as well as those continuing in the program.

Declaration of secondary need for 30 single subject (15 math and 5 each Spanish, Science and PE) and 25 Special Ed teachers

Declaration of elementary need for 20 multiple subject, 10 single subject (PE and Music), and 15 Special Ed teachers

Attracting new candidates to the profession while not working to improve our ability to retain folks is a zero sum game at best.

How to Increase Teacher Retention in 2023 – Qualtrics states that retention saves money, benefits less privileged students, enables policy development and keeps valuable knowledge. Teachers are leaving because of testing initiatives, lack of support, challenging conditions and feeling undervalued.

Can we work to reduce overly large class sizes where students do not get the attention they need? Can we hire enough campus adult support such as Campus Supervisors, Student Advisors, Restorative Specialists and Family and Student Engagement Facilitators? Can we lower caseloads for our counselors and SPED teachers, and address unsafe environments for both students and staff, which increases mental health stability for everyone on campus?

Summary

These courses will continue to support the implementation of Ethnic Studies across SRCS and facilitate the successful completion of the Ethnic Studies graduation requirement. The courses were written as a collaboration between Ethnic Studies trained teachers and Ethnic Studies trained Educational Services personnel. They were reviewed, critiqued, revised and approved by the Ethnic Studies Steering Committee to ensure the courses have integrity and fidelity to the discipline of Ethnic Studies. These courses have been approved by the appropriate department chairs and by site principals. The estimated total cost for all Ethnic Study courses is $14,375, to be paid out of LCAP and Lottery funding.

These courses will need A-G approval by the UC Office of the President.

Summary

This revised job description better ensures that there is coordinated development, implementation, monitoring and assessment of state and federal programs that demonstrate improved learning and achievement for all students.

The position is being moved from SAFE to Ed Services and will include coordination of the Superintendent’s Advisory Network.

Clean Copy of Job Description

F.10. Approval of a CMAS Proposal with KYA for the Remodel of Main Restrooms (one male and one female) at PHS, EAHS, SRHS, and MCHS

The facilities team has been working diligently to find the best solutions for the restrooms at our high schools. The team has partnered with KYA Group, as they have a proven track record of remodeling high school restrooms and locker rooms. This CMAS contract uses our project stabilization agreement for its labor.

This project will include a completely new epoxy surface on the floors, walls, and ceiling. This product is beautiful, extremely tough, and easy to keep clean. KYA will also be installing all new plumbing fixtures, including toilets, urinals, and sinks. New hand dryers and soap dispensers will be recessed in the interior walls to help deter vandalism. Finally, KYA will install new beautiful yet durable privacy stalls and urinal dividers.

Funded from Measure I $913,900.77

PHS Proposal $242,395

EAHS Proposal $245,032

SRHS Proposal $235,908

MCHS Proposal $190,564

With limited funds available for great facility needs, SRTA members wonder how this million dollars of work meshes with item E5 Facilities Master Plan? While SRTA members appreciate the student call for upgrading restrooms, what will be the impact of these upgrades? It seems reasonable for a dedicated effort to redesign high school restrooms to be gender neutral as part of our long term FMP. If these restroom upgrades are performed now, will the IOQ score of bathrooms be lowered, as they have been made more suitable, and then the redesigns be delayed? Or will we be committed to the restroom redesigns and replace the upgrades in these contracts long before their lifetime expires?

F.11. Approval of Legal Services – Retainer Representation Agreement

Hires HARBOTTLE LAW GROUP to advise Board of Education and administrative panel regarding student expulsion hearings and perform related legal services at $275 per hour for the period April 1 to June 30, 2023.

A live link will be posted on the SRCS website (link).

The special board meeting on Feb. 15 included Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost, LLP presenting on suspensions and expulsions. This appears to provide additional legal resources around expulsions for the panel and board.

SRTA members are concerned about the impact to the learning environment that disruptive students are causing for non disruptive students and staff. Current disciplinary practices are in need of revision to effective plans that can be embedded into Site Safety Plans and be applied with integrity district wide.

What is the current discipline policy and process? When are police contacted? How is SRCS keeping track of contacts with the police in order to be able to address the underlying issues?

What are the staffing ratios of adult supervisors expected to be on our campuses?

An audit of the programs for students with special needs is called for. Have we been able to attract and retain the necessary employees to run these programs effectively?

What anti-bullying efforts are we implementing?

How many students are not coming to campus because they don’t feel safe? It is a hardship on teachers to provide independent study.

C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

SRTA members are invited to complete ‘blue cards’ in person or raise their hands and provide voice only comments if attending online. Please put SRTA at the start of your online name. Please observe the standard three minute time limit (and be prepared for a last minute change to a two minute limit). Only items not on the agenda are addressed at this time, so safety items would be addressed here.

Safety Concerns raised since the last board meeting:

A student reported hearing another student say “I’m going to shoot up the school.” It was not followed up on until the following day.

Adults came on our campus during school looking for a student with the intent of harming them. We went in lockdown for about half an hour with zero communication from the office.

I was punched in the nose by a student. I made a police report. I sat with the restorative specialist and student. The student hardly spoke during the session. The student wouldn’t even indicate if it was intentional or accidental. Not even an apology one way or another.

SRTA Members feel like site administration is given limited parameters by the district office to operate within when regarding student discipline. This leads to feeling disillusioned with our district. Our ability to attract and retain staff is being affected.

A student is sexually harassing staff and students. Despite interventions the incidents are getting more frequent. Another student has repeatedly and consistently demonstrated disruptive behavior and willful defiance and has chronically behaved in ways that cause physical injury to others and damage property. This is impacting the emotional and academic performance of other students in the classroom. Current policies foster an environment where these behaviors continue and are increasing instead of impacting change.

Is this how things are supposed to be working?

D.3. The Superintendent’s report will include an update on the Safety Advisory Round Table (SART)

SRTA members Ian Myers and Margaret Buhn report that all the items from the listening sessions have been categorized and there was time for discussion between members. There was a promise of reaching the first concrete steps on May 10. The committee is expected to continue next year.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

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

The Board will consider approval of Resolution 2022/23-66 for May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

While SRTA members appreciate the board acknowledging the contributions of various cultures, what is the expected impact from having agenda items such as these? Is there a metric to evaluate the effectiveness of this?

Resources for members looking for inspiration for their classroom: Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 2022 – For Teachers

The following four items are resolutions to appreciate staff. How is the appreciation of staff conveyed? Is it expected that all staff read the agenda and that works to convey this appreciation?

E.2. (Action) Resolution Recognizing Guest Teacher Appreciation in May 2023

Summary

The Board will consider approval of Resolution 2022/23-68 Recognizing Guest Teacher Appreciation in May 2023.

SRCS relies heavily on subs. SRTA members are grateful to the subs that cover for us.

What would it take to assign substitutes to be an integral part of a campus or two so that they are part of the community, and know the school culture and students? This would create a more consistent learning environment for our students.

E.3. (Action) Resolution Celebrating Child Nutrition Services (CNS) Professionals week of May 1-5, 2023

Summary

The Board will consider the approval of Resolution 2022/23-65 Celebrating Santa Rosa City Schools Child Nutrition Services (CNS) Professionals for the week of May 1-5, 2023.

SRCS students have more heavily relied on CNS to meet their nutritional needs with the shift to providing food for all students.

E.4. (Action) Resolution for Teacher Appreciation Week May 8-12, 2023

Summary

The Board will consider the adoption of Resolution 2022/23-67 recognizing May 8-12, 2023, as Teacher Appreciation Week.

E.5. (Action) Resolution for Classified School Employee Week May 14-20, 2023

Summary

The Board will consider approval of Resolution 2022/23-64 recognizing May 14-20, 2023 as Classified School Employee Week.

The classified employees provide critical support for student learning. The working conditions for these people must be improved. They deserve livable wages.

E.6. (Action) Ethnic Studies Graduation Requirement Revisions

Summary

Suggested change in wording of policy: “Beginning with the class of 2028, successful completion of a single two-semester course or two semesters (10 credits) of any a-g offerings in Ethnic Studies, including courses offered through dual or concurrent enrollment. Any Ethnic Studies course taken shall meet a UC/CSU a-g course requirement and shall also accrue credit for coursework in the subject that course is offered. Completion of the middle school Ethnic Studies elective course with a grade of ‘C’ or better prior to grade 9 shall satisfy the graduation requirement, though high school credits will not be awarded.”

SRTA supports the measures outlined in this item.

Where is the data on how many courses are current and in progress? How many students are currently enrolled as compared to enrollment for next year? How much is the implementation of this effort costing?

SRTA appreciates the effort of TOSA Heather Rossi-Garcia and Executive Director Tim Zalanardo leading enormous strides in ETHS including course creation. The model of supporting collaboration with time is one that SRTA members hope can be duplicated for other course creation efforts. SRTA Members are concerned that there aren’t enough viable internal pathways for all students to meet the current requirement given the current implementation timeline.

Part of this resolution is extending the deadline for requiring Ethnic Studies as a graduation requirement. The roll out of any changes must include a communication effort to explain to incoming seventh graders what this requirement is, and how they can meet it, including an Ethnic Studies elective course in middle school if this is an option. Encouraging this course in middle school could be transformational for students, and could inspire students to take more Ethnic Studies courses during high school.

E.7. (Action) Approval of MOU reached with SRCS and SRTA regarding Preparation Time and Compensation for the 2023 Summer Programs

Summary

The Board will consider approving the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was reached with Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) and the Santa Rosa Teachers Association (SRTA) representatives on April 7, 2023, regarding Preparation Time and Compensation for the 2023 Summer Programs.

MOU

SRTA is appreciative of acknowledging the prep time required to teach summer school, by providing remuneration of five hours per week.

E.8. (Action) Consider Additional Teleconferencing Provisions

Summary

The Board will consider adopting additional Board Teleconferencing Provisions as specified in Assembly Bill 2449 (Gov. Code. 54953).

Safety Concerns:

I still don’t have columbine locks on my door despite SEVERAL notices to the district.

A staff member was assaulted by a student. This staff member has not returned to work after two months, while the student is back at school after a 5-day suspension with no apparent change in demeanor- they have engaged in a student fight without notated consequences.

Is this how things are supposed to work?

D.3. The Superintendent’s report will include an update on the Safety Advisory Round Table (SART)

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

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

The Board will consider the approval of Resolution No. 2022/23-62 in support of National Sexual Assault Awareness month.

What actions, beyond this resolution, will there be in SRCS?

E.2. (Discussion) 2023 Summer School

Summary

The Board will be provided with an overview of the Santa Rosa City Schools in-person summer programs planned for June 2023 through July 2023.

Expanded Learning Programs

High school students are severely credit deficient. The possible paths to graduate are diminishing with each additional semester of failure. Summer school does not repair a faulty educational foundation. Summer school does not change the mindset after a student matriculates from middle school without learning the prerequisite skills required for success in high school. Summer school does not address the needs for alternative education when a comprehensive high school isn’t working for a student.

Where is the data? What proportion of eligible students enroll in summer school? What proportion of enrolled students earn credits? What impact does summer school success have on the students’ following year’s courses?

Thank you for paying for prep time for teachers for the summer of 2023. As the need for summer school, especially credit recovery, increases, SRCS will need to increase the rate of pay and continue to pay for prep time in the future. The extended day rate of $54.49/hour is not appealing for most teachers. Those teaching the second session will benefit from a 4.5% raise starting July 1, but $56.94/hour is still not attractive enough to give up a break after the year staff has had.

E.3. (Action) Adoption of Resolution No. 2022/23-63, Approving Lease-Leaseback Contracts with Wright Contracting LLC dba Wright Contracting General Builders for the (i) Brook Hill Elementary School Project; (ii) Santa Rosa High School Modernization Project; and (iii) Santa Rosa High School DeSoto Hall Project and Making Related Findings

Summary

The Board will consider adopting Resolution No. 2022/23-63 approving the Lease-Leaseback Contracts with Wright Contracting LLC dba Wright Contracting General Builders (“Wright”) for the Brook Hill Elementary School Project; Santa Rosa High School Modernization Project; and Santa Rosa High School DeSoto Hall Project, and Making Related Findings

F. CONSENT ITEMS

F.2. Approval of Personnel Transactions

EdJoin shows a total of 120 current postings for 201 job vacancies for SRCS.

There are 55 certificated openings (the same as the last meeting), and 5 certificated management openings (three more than the last meeting). There are 140 current classified openings (nine less than the last meeting), and one classified management position (the same as the last meeting.)

Credentialed positions were not posted in March. The current expectation is that internal postings will happen prior to the end of this month, and then jobs will be posted to the public.

There are now 35 teachers at 1.2FTE. While being grateful for these folks stepping up, this is an unsustainable way to operate.

SRTA is appreciative of the two approved LOAs for next year.

SRTA bids farewell to those three members resigning at the end of the year taking twenty-three years of service and experience between them: Holly Hunter (MCHS), Bertrand Lohier (FACS) and Erin Maillo (CCLA). We wish you well with your future endeavors. To date there are 40 certificated resignations.

Congratulations to those retiring in June after 81 years of combined service to our students: Kevin Costello (SRHS), Roger Page (JMES), Amy Stevens (MHS) and Kathryn Vyenielo (RHS.) To date there are 23 certificated retirements.

This month changes to classified staff include five new hires, nine resignations and one retirement.

In prior years the district LCAP was not used to fund efforts at a single site. As the LCAP is undergoing review, SRTA members would appreciate transparency around the district definition for what does and does not qualify for use of LCAP funds, and what the inclusion process is for site specific efforts.

F.6. Approval of Contract with Permanente Medicine, Santa Rosa for Special Services 18-22 Transition Program

Ethnic Studies Graduation Requirement (4/26/23)

SRTA appreciates the effort of TOSA Heather Rossi-Garcia and Executive Director Tim Zalanardo leading enormous strides in ETHS including course creation. SRTA Members are concerned that there aren’t enough viable internal pathways for all students to meet the current requirement given the current implementation timeline.

Student/Staff awards & site reports: Steele Lane Elementary, Ridgway High School (~~3/8/23~~ rescheduled to 5/10/23)
Resolution for May as the Month of Speech and Language Pathologists (5/10/23)

SRTA looks to the future scheduling of the following items:

Safety (board statement 3/8/23)

What are the steps for intervening when a student creates a disruptive and/or unsafe situation for other students and staff?

Some current practices seem to protect bullies and tolerate intimidation without intervention.

What changes to discipline practices have been put into place since March 1?

What is the current discipline policy and process? When are police contacted?

What are the staffing ratios of adult supervisors expected to be on our campuses?

An audit of the programs for students with special needs is called for. Have we been able to attract and retain the necessary employees to run these programs effectively?

What anti-bullying efforts are we implementing?

How many students are not coming to campus because they don’t feel safe? It is a hardship on teachers to provide independent study.

A-G Program Review (board request 8/10/22)

What are the systemic measures in place to offer academic support K-12 to increase A-G success?

C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

SRTA members are invited to complete ‘blue cards’ in person or raise their hands and provide voice only comments if attending online. Please put SRTA at the start of your online name. Please observe the standard three minute time limit (and be prepared for a last minute change to a two minute limit). Only items not on the agenda are addressed at this time, so safety items would be addressed here.

A Shared Safety Concern:

During a class a student posted on Google Classroom that he was “going to bring a gun to school and shoot you.” Administration acted quickly after being notified by a student. They identified the student who had written the threat. They sent the required email notifying the student’s teachers that Ed Code XYZ was violated by Student X. The problem is that many other teachers learned about this activity from students in their classes. Students could not stop talking about it. It is ridiculous that teachers learn about dangerous incidents from students without being informed by the administration. It is far more detrimental to NOT tell staff than to let the story, however changed or exaggerated, be told by students.

C.10. Election of the Clerk of the Board

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

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

Community Resources

SRTA joins the resolution in thanking the District Library Media Specialist, the Library Technicians, and the Instructional Materials Technicians.

If we truly value our libraries, wouldn’t we staff them with certificated Librarians? Wouldn’t we fund them so they can maintain relevant collections for students? Currently there is one certificated librarian for the entire district, a staffing ratio of 15,000:1. The state’s Model School Library Standards call for a ratio of one full-time teacher librarian for every 785 students (785:1 recommended ratio vs 15,000:1 actual SRCS ratio).

E.2. (Discussion) Facilities Projects and Funding Update

Summary

Information will be presented regarding progress on Bond Measures I & L projects, common facilities needs district wide, and funding mechanisms and opportunities.

Summer 2023/2024 Current Project List

● Major Sewer Line Repairs (MHS/SRHS)

● MCHS LED Theater Lighting Upgrade

● BHES Roof/HVAC

● CCLA Roof/HVAC

● RVMS Gym Roof/HVAC

● Portable Rooftop/HVAC Repairs

● Technology Upgrades/Touch Panel TV’s in Classrooms

● SRHS Phase 3 Roof/HVAC

● MHS/RHS Restroom Remodel

Isn’t the District Office also scheduled for some very necessary work from these funds?

How much funding remains from Bond Measures I & L? When will these funds be exhausted?

Where is the complete list of what will be completed with the remainder of these funds?

How were these final projects chosen?

As we move toward plans for utilizing the new Bond Measures C & G, what decision making systems will be utilized to prevent future issues like the neglect of facilities at Montgomery High School coming to public light at the tail end of the bond spending window?

Where is the information from the 15 day Developer Fee exploration that was recently contracted?

Several teachers would prefer projectors to touch panels. Can the district support this?

E.3. (Action) Board Vacancy for Trustee Area 7 and Estimated Timeline

Summary

Due to the resignation of Director Laurie Fong, a vacancy has been declared on the Santa Rosa City Schools’ Board of Education in Trustee Area 7. Applications will be accepted through 4:00 p.m. on April 20, 2023. Then a subcommittee of board members will paper screen candidates. The May 10 board meeting will include interviews and appointment to office.

Letter

Application

SRCS Trustee Area

SRTA wishes to thank Director Fong for her service. The students and staff at Montgomery High School deserve TLC, clear expectations and defined discipline processes. We are rooting for Principal Fong to meet these needs.

SRTA encourages members to seek applicants for this position.

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

Summary

The Board will be provided with an update on the collaboration between Safe Routes to Schools Program and Santa Rosa City Schools.

8 Comprehensive Sites 2022-23 CCLA, HLES, HVES, JMES, PTES, SRCArts, FACS, SRMS

7 Past Participation ABES, BHES, ALES, RVMS, HSMS, HCMS, SRACS

8 Potential Participant LBES, SLES, High Schools (future contract)

SRTA continues to be concerned that the implementation of this program requires principals, teachers, and or parents to champion existing programs which means they volunteer to make it happen. There are seven sites no longer participating. If this effort is important, we have to demonstrate respect and value for what it takes to implement it.

E.5. (Discussion) Survey Results and Updates: YouthTruth Culture and Climate Survey and Panorama Social-Emotional Survey

Summary

The Board of Education will receive an update regarding the Panorama and the Youth Truth Surveys. The Panorama Education Survey provides student and staff perception of their social-emotional learning (SEL) and well-being. The YouthTruth Culture and Climate Survey provides data on students, families, and staff.

Panorama contract $45,420.00 per year. YouthTruth Survey is mainly sponsored by the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) and community partners, with a $6,100 fee.

Educational Services / YouthTruth Survey Data

The Panorama survey data has worked as a universal screener to identify students in need. What proportion of these students were already identified by other means? What quantity of students were flagged by their responses? Was SRCS able to intervene with these students?

When Panorama was implemented, it was promised that it would allow for evaluating the effectiveness of programs by determining which students were using which resources and the impact to their self assessment. Where is this data?

How have these surveys “helped to inform SRCS how to improve school experiences”? What changes have resulted from this?

SRTA is curious about the “possible interventions and supports” that the results from these surveys as well as the demonstrable impact these have had on the district LCAP.

What percentile of change on each of these surveys is significant?

Why is the teacher portion of the Panorama survey being discontinued?

What expectation is being removed to allow for adding a second round of Panorama this spring? Our students spend too much time being surveyed and assessed, adding to their feelings of anxiety.

E.6. (Action) Updates to COVID-19 Safety Handbook

Summary

As part of a continuing transition from a pandemic to an endemic phase of COVID response and mitigation, and in conjunction with Governor Newsom’s proclamation terminating the State of California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency and correlating COVID response budget reductions, CDPH has made revisions to COVID response provisions (prioritizing broad Antigen/OTC distribution in lieu of PCR testing operations), redefined “Close Contact” and “Infectious Period” to better align with CDC protocols, and applied reduced or relaxed standards to existing isolation and quarantine mandates. The SRCS COVID Safety Handbook has been updated to reflect these changes.

Handbook Draft (English) (Español)

This month includes contracts for summer programs. What is the purpose of summer programs? How are programs evaluated for continuation? What is the plan to ensure prompt, equitable communication with families about these opportunities so that all students have the opportunity to participate. Paper notifications must be included in this plan.

The Mike Hauser Academy states that longitudinal data will be collected on the progress of participating students. Can that data be shared in a future agenda?

D.7 District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) Report

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS

E.1. (Discussion) Survey Results and Updates: YouthTruth Culture and Climate Survey and Panorama Social-Emotional Survey

Summary

The Panorama Education Survey provides student and staff perception of their social-emotional learning (SEL) and well-being. Student answers are linked to individuals allowing MTSS follow up as needed. This year will be the first to utilize a fall and spring version of this survey. The anonymous YouthTruth Culture and Climate Survey provides data on students, families, and staff. Surveys help SRCS get valuable stakeholder voices that help us plan, evaluate and implement initiatives.

Some of the questions are difficult to discern the meaning of. This makes interpreting results nearly impossible. Also, differing student expectations create different levels of satisfaction.

When surveys are intended to be census, and not all community members are included, the results can be skewed due to any commonalities among those not taking the surveys.

Some students have realized that if they answer strongly they can be subject to a longer survey wanting to dive down into their responses, so they report answering mediocre just for expedition.

How have answers impacted the district plans, evaluations and implementations of initiatives?

“Any Staff can view & sort anonymous data” on the Youth Truth and Panorama surveys? How is access to this data provided to staff?

How many staff have accessed this data? How many staff attended PD on viewing the data?

Is there statistical significance to a one or two point change in results?

E.2.& 3. Approval of City of Santa Rosa Elementary and High School District Resolutions Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of General Obligation Refunding Bonds of the District and Related Actions

Elementary issue $32 of $125 million approved

Preliminary Statement

Secondary issue $104 of $398 million approved

Preliminary Statement

There is no concrete plan for the spending of this new bond money. The Facilities Master Plan FMP is in the process of being revised. There is no process for prioritizing identified projects.

Tonight’s agenda item to delve into the facilities issues of Montgomery High School has been delayed. There is no argument that the need for facilities improvements is enormous. The expectation of SRTA members is that wisdom will be used to exhaust the old bonds funds, eliminating the most exasperating issues of facilities neglect.

E.4. (Action) Approval of 2022-23 Second Interim Fiscal Report with Positive Certification

Summary

The Board will consider approval of the 2022-23 Second Interim Report with positive certification

Biographical Sketch and Ballot

SRTA celebrates that this report is “Positive” meaning that SRCS expects to meet its expenses for this year and the next two years, showing an ending balance of over $22 million.

This year SRCS is set to underspend by $10 million, but the next two years are currently budgeted to overspend by $10 million. The Budget Advisory Committee has been asked to think outside the box to consider where several million in cuts could come from. From the initial budget to this second interim report, SRCS has added $15 million in expenses to the budget. Two million of this has been added since the first interim report. How are the decisions to increase expenses made?

Where is the line between Charter School and District decision making and funding?
What is the financial impact of our open positions? How much are we paying in overtime, overages, and consultant fees to cover these positions?
Last year this report included an update on LCAP spending. Where is a report of current spending on this year’s LCAP?
SRCS Covid Funds.pdf is an update on the spending of Covid funds that expire in Sept of 2024. SRCS students are currently in crisis, and the unbudgeted $9 million could support efforts NOW to aid students and address safety concerns.

E.5.-8. Public Hearings and Approvals: CSEA Chapter 75 and SRCS “Sunshine” Proposals for Contract Reopeners for 2023-2024

CSEA 75: “Sunshine” Article 13 – fair and equitable compensation as their only reopener.

CSEA 75 Reopeners

Santa Rosa City Schools District: “Sunshine” Article 13 – compensation as their only reopener.

SRCS Reopeners

SRTA supports productive negotiations for improved compensation. It is time for wage improvements that are substantial enough to create competitive wages that will attract and retain the very necessary CSEA positions required to support our students.

E.9. (Action) Election of 2023 CSBA Delegate Assembly

F.5. Approval of Contracts

Summary

#	Provider	Cost	Description
Elementary
1	Jack Schreder & Associates (Elementary)	$6,825	Research and advise on developer fees (15 days)
6	Per Plan Per Specs (PPPS) Consultants	$51,315	Additional Roof and HVAC inspection at SLES. (Total of $94,875) Bond Measure L
Secondary
2	Jack Schreder & Associates (Secondary)	$10,275	Research and advise on developer fees (15 days)
3	Steve Smith	$2,000	20% increase in use of Level 2 and 3 projects for PHS STEM Symposium in May 2022.
4	Blended Education, LLC	$30,000	Coach will support 10 -12 teachers with 4 more days of PD for $7,500 per day. Uses site CSI funds.
5	Per Plan Per Specs (PPPS) Consultants	$92,958	Additional Roof and HVAC inspection at PHS. (Total of $153,843) Bond Measure I and Insurance Reimbursement

Total value of contracts = $193,373

Increasing the inspection of construction work done on our sites is a welcome shift, even if it costs $250,000 for two sites.

Developer fees have been stagnant since 2016. It is reasonable to consider the current situation and create justification for any change in fees levied.

How has Blended Learning with Catlin Tucker been going at EAHS? Do the teachers involved feel like the $2,500 – $3,000 per teacher to continue this for the last quarter is merited?

SRTA supports rehabilitation work to our aging facilities. Contracts in this agenda total $1.3 million dollars from Bond Measures I and L. The next board meeting is said to contain an update on closing out these old bond funds.

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.

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.

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

Draft Board GovernanceHandbook

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Borrador del Manual de Gobernanza de la Mesa Directiva

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.

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.
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.

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.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.

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).

Redline Salary Placement Guidelines

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)

Students participating in school or postsecondary programs

52.3% of 2020 graduates enrolled in college

75% of those graduates enrolled in community college

Students on track for graduation

69.4% of the Class of 2020 graduated in 4 years

23% of the graduates completed UC/CSU A-G requirements

Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Grant indicators

Also supported by $55,000 from $625,000 LCAP 1.30 to design the DLI Program

Completion of TK-12 dual language immersion pathway for students

Increase of Seal of Biliteracy recipients

11.5% of the graduates from 2020 earned the Seal of Biliteracy

Career Technical Education

Redesign of the existing Public Safety and Agriculture CTE programs

Create a new Public and Community Health CTE program

The Feb 2022 seniority list shows 4 EAHS teachers with CTE credentials (out of a total of 19 CTE credentials within SRCS)

Work-based Learning (WBL)

Increase WBL experiences for all students

Hold Career Conference for 11th and 12th grade students

New School Model PD Experiential Visits and Professional Development Opportunities

WBL Scope and Sequence (Awareness, exploration, preparation and training)

WBL Experiences Defined and linked to the standards for Career Ready Practice

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 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

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.

F.7. Approval of the School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs)

The Board is being asked to approve the publication and posting of the 2021-2022 School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) for all district school sites to the Santa Rosa City Schools’ website. There have been difficulties completing these, and grade span is currently showing as blank on all forms. Staff is awaiting a response from the State on this issue. These will be reposted once grade spans are properly populated.

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.

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

Feedback Questions- Repair and Replace

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?

A presentation of the key demographic data regarding our respondents, as well as their assessment of the need for facilities improvements, priority areas for improvement, repair/replacement, and specific learning spaces is attached.

Feedback- Condition

Feedback Questions- Improvements

Feedback Questions- Upgrade Learning Environments

Oct 26, 2022 Minutes with Presentation Slides (p. 47) This contains the summary presentation of the above data.

SRTA appreciates the sharing of these responses. It is prudent that an informative communication plan will help the community understand improvement efforts undertaken moving forward.

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.

Se agradece que esta presentación incluya algunos cronogramas e indicadores.

E.2. y E.3. (Acción) Criterios de Omisión (Exenciones de Despido) y Criterios de Desempate de Fecha de Antigüedad

Resumen

En preparación para la posible Reducción de personal (RIF), la Mesa Directiva considerará la aprobación de criterios de omisión específicos para desviarse de la terminación de empleados certificados en orden de fecha de antigüedad y criterio de desempate de fecha de antigüedad para establecer una orden de terminación para los empleados que primero prestaron un servicio de prueba remunerado. al Distrito en la misma fecha

Resolución de salto Maestros de español, matemáticas, ciencias en los grados 7-12; todas las áreas especializadas, incluida la educación especial; y se omitirán los autorizados a prestar servicios en programas de doble inmersión en CCLA y SRFAC.

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!

C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MHS Field Trip Request Form

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 Join	SRCS 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.

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.

SPSA – Montgomery High School

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:

SRCS perform a deep review of programs and expenses prior to the 2nd interim report
The Fiscal Recovery Plan Committee must create a Fiscal Recovery Plan to eliminate structural deficit spending, and a Fiscal Stabilization Plan.
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.
The district should ensure all 1-time covid dollars (ESSER and ELO funds) are wisely exhausted by the Sept. 2024 deadline.
Update the MYP to reflect the Governor’s January budget proposal.

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.

Transacciones de personal

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.

El distrito paga hasta $12,588 por beneficios médicos para el miembro y el miembro de la Mesa Directiva paga la atención médica de los dependientes. El distrito paga $72 al mes por primas dentales para cada miembro de la Mesa Directiva y sus dependientes. El distrito paga una prima mensual de $8.28 para la vista para el miembro de la Mesa Directiva y sus dependientes. El distrito paga los primeros $50,000 de una prima de seguro de vida.

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 Join	Tarifa por hora inicial de SRCS	Tarifa máxima por hora inicial	Diferencia
Asistente de comportamiento (técnico)	$ 20.17	$ 50	aumento del 248%
Psicólogo de la escuela	$ 82.35	$ 105.56	aumento del 128%
ayudante escolar	$ 18.74	$ 45.00	aumento del 240%
Asistente Administrativo	$ 28.00	$ 45.00	aumento del 160%
LVN	$ 25.83	$ 55.41	aumento del 215%
profesor de educación especial	$ 60,48	$ 85.00	141% de aumento

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

Resumen

Se le pide a la Mesa Directiva que apruebe el formulario de solicitud de viaje de campo para que el grupo AVID de Montgomery High School recorra la Universidad de Reno en Reno, Nevada, el 6 y 7 de marzo de 2023 y también la Universidad Estatal de Sacramento.

F.8. Aprobación de la Reorganización de Servicios Comerciales para el Departamento de Instalaciones y Mantenimiento

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.

El distrito informa que las comunicaciones defectuosas con el CDE provocarán un retraso en el proceso del SARC y no cumplirán con la fecha límite del 1 de febrero. 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:

SRCS realiza una revisión profunda de los programas y gastos antes del segundo informe intermedio
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.
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.
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.
Actualizar el MYP para reflejar la propuesta de presupuesto de enero del Gobernador.

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 Certifying Measure G

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.

Summary

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
sufficiency of textbooks or instructional materials, emergency or urgent facilities conditions that pose a threat to the health or safety of students or staff, or teacher vacancies and misassignments shall be investigated and resolved in accordance with AR 1312.4 – Williams Uniform Complaint Procedures.

The SRCS COMPLAINT PROCEDURES HANDBOOK (2018) clarifies procedures for all complaints.

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

F. CONSENT ITEMS

F.2. Approval of 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.

F.5. Approval of Contracts

Summary

#	Provider	Cost	Description
District-wide
1	SCOE Special Education	$5,000	To provide 8 hrs/mo of adaptive PE @ $155/hr
4	SOLIANT	$44,470	This is for another semester of SLP to cover for an employee on extended leave. The contract states an increase of $85,470, an increase of 17% over the first semester rate.
6	Indoor Environment Solutions (IES)	$4,000	To provide expert maintenance/repair of our new Johnson Controls EMS system as needed.
Secondary
2	Cardea Services	$3,645	Provide mandated PD for 45 teachers providing Health Education for 7-9th grade students.
3	Open-Up Resources	$3,600	3 2-hour PD sessions for 10 Math teachers at Piner to better leverage their adopted text to improve student achievement.
5	Lexia PowerUp!	$3,200	For reading intervention for 80 SDC students. “If gains show at least 10% improvement, the program may be considered for next year.”

Total value of contracts = $63,915.00

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.

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.

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.

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.
