E.1. (Discussion) Career Technical Education (CTE) Update
Summary
The Board will receive an update on Career Technical Education (CTE) programs, which will include CTE program offerings, Career Technical Student Organizations, work-based learning, and industry and post-secondary partnerships.
This list defines possible student experiences. How are these implemented and supported? To what extent are their opportunities for students to engage with these?
At the secondary level, analysis of the CCI on the Dashboard and transcript and GPA analysis for High School revealed a trend that there are a significant number of credit-deficient students and a need for proficiency in CTE coursework. The evidence-based interventions selected to address these inequities are to focus on dropout prevention and reinforcing literacy development in areas such as prioritizing caring adults, providing academic support and credit remediation options, establishing secondary writing across the curriculum, and creating small communities to connect students to relevant college and career related subjects and supports. For example, building staff capacity to track student progress via a homeroom advisory program in the continuation high school, as well as creating a school-wide writing rubric that is aligned to grade level standards to support writing across the curriculum are two of the interventions at the secondary level. Lastly, offering practical CTE courses that connect math to real life so students can earn credits in practical ways that impact their daily lives.
What does the data for grades and course completion look like? What is being done to increase proficiency in CTE coursework?
Efforts to increase the CTE program at Elsie Allen High School have been expressed at prior board meetings.
Aug 24 Board Meeting
CTE programs support students with meeting the workforce needs of local and regional employers, provide relevant and meaningful learning experiences for students, and prepare students for postsecondary education and careers. Through the transformational work at EAHS, existing CTE programs are being redesigned, work-based learning opportunities are being developed, and new CTE Programs will be implemented. Recently, the CTE Foundation of Sonoma County was awarded an American Rescue Plan Act grant, in the amount of $1.1 million, to continue to support EAHS with reforming their education model to deliver authentic, relevant, and integrated learning experiences that prepare youth for a lifetime of success.
$277,383 in grant funds provided to EAHS for Phase 1 professional development, meeting materials and supplies, work-based learning activities, and to hire a full-time, site-based CTE TOSA to support work-based learning activities and expansion of business and community partners. The grant is for $657,509 which includes a staff member and $172,000 for a subcontractor. (A contract for this subcontractor is not found in board agendas.)
How is the EAHS CTE redesign work going? What does the envisioned program look like?

SRTA hopes the presentation will explore this data.
CTE enrollment has grown by 8% from last year.
The number of white students has dramatically dropped.
Male and female enrollments have both shown pronounced changes.
What does the CDE College and Career Indicator (CCI) show? The state has not been consistent in how it reports this data. SRCS students can be better prepared for College and Career.
“Prepared” means completed a CTE Pathway with a grade of C- or better in the capstone course and met one of the additional criteria below:
• Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments: Receive a score of Level 3 or higher in one subject area (ELA or mathematics) and a score of Level 2 or higher in the other area
• Complete one semester/two quarters/two-trimesters of College Credit Courses with a grade of C- or better in academic/CTE subjects where college credits are awarded for each course
“Approaching Prepared” means Completed a CTE Pathway with a grade of C- or better in the capstone course
2020 Data from CDE shows 1130 seniors (55.7%) district wide were not CCI prepared. (This data includes all indicators, not just CTE.)
2021 Data from CDE shows 94 seniors (4.7%) district wide were ‘approaching prepared’ by completing a CTE pathway with a C- or better in a Capstone course. 4 seniors (0.2%) district wide completed a Capstone course with a C- or better AND completed UC/CSU requirements with a C or better and were ‘prepared’. (Please see the linked report for complete information.)
E.2. (Discussion) First Reading of Updated Board Policy 1312.3 Uniform Complaint Procedures
Summary
The Board will discuss the proposed revisions to Board Policy 1312.3 Uniform Complaint Procedures recommended by the California School Boards Association (CSBA).
SRTA appreciated the efforts undertaken to provide the flowchart and explanations in the district COMPLAINT PROCEDURES HANDBOOK. We hope that this resource will be updated to reflect any impacts caused by changing this board policy.
E.3. (Action) 2022-23 First Interim Budget Report
Summary
The Board will consider approval of the 2022-23 First Interim Report with Qualified Certification
What state revenue is $13.8 million less than expected? This increase is more than the estimated Unidentified Fiscal Stabilization Measures that BAC (the Budget Advisory Committee) will be asked to reduce.
There appears to be a 6% absenteeism rate that dramatically impacts our ADA. What efforts are being undertaken to address this?
As revenues are being decreased by $5.5 million, why are expenses increasing by $13.4 million?
With over 200 open positions, how is salary and benefits increasing by $4.6 million from the budgeted amount?
Where is the expected income from Prop 28 reflected in this update? How much is this? How much of this funding will be used to offset current General Fund expenses?
Isn’t COLA for 23-24 8.38% and 24-25 5.3%?
E.4. (Action) CSBA Delegate Nomination Summary
The Board will make their nomination for the CSBA’s Delegate Assembly.
EdJoin shows a total of 132 current postings for 205 job vacancies for SRCS.
There are 41 certificated openings (two less than the last meeting), and 1 certificated management openings (four less than last meeting). There are 163 current classified openings (three more than the last meeting), and no classified management positions (one less than last meeting.)
SRTA welcomes Kelsey Krehbiel (EAHS), Megan Hulett (ALES), Marie-PierrePrieur(FACS) and Lien Vo (EAHS).
Welcome back to Michael Adams (SPSV) and Mary Jo Dailey (SPSV).
We bid farewell to Debra Inman (SLES) after nineteen years of service to our students.
This month changes to classified staff include eleven new hires. This month there is again progress on hiring. There is one resignation and four retirements. We are losing 74 years of wisdom and experience with these departures.
Of special note, Judy Torres from duplicating is retiring after fifteen years of service to our students and staff.
Twenty posted classified jobs pay less than the city of Santa Rosa’s minimum wage of $17.06. Why would anyone apply for one of these jobs as posted on EdJoin? SRCS has not yet made the $1,000 bonus pay obvious to anyone looking at these job postings on EdJoin as requested.

D.7. Migrant Ed Report
E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Resolution Recognizing November 14, 2022 as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day
Summary
Ruby Bridges is currently the chair of the Ruby Bridges Foundation, which she formed in 1999 to promote “the values of tolerance, respect, and appreciation of all differences.” She has asserted that, “Racism is a grown-up disease and we must stop using our children to spread it.” Deborah Carlino’s fifth-grade class from Martin Elementary School in the South San Francisco Unified School District learned about Ruby Bridges and were advocates for the adoption of a “Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day” as a way to honor Ruby’s role in the Civil Rights Movement. The Senate of the State of California passed Senate Resolution 59, proclaiming “November 14 … as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day.”
SRTA appreciates the improvements to our teaching and our students’ learning environments provided for by the bond measures. Our members are hopeful that the new bond measure spending will be done with more inclusive and transparent decision making, getting the maximum impact from the funds.
E.3. (Action) Establishment of the Annual Organizational Meeting of the Board of Education
Summary
The Board is asked to establish the annual organizational meeting of the Board of Education on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. at the regularly scheduled board meeting.
E.4. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361
EdJoin shows a total of 134 current postings for 209 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 43 certificated openings (three more than the last meeting), and 5 certificated management openings (two more than last meeting). There are 160 current classified openings (twelve less than the last meeting), and one classified management position (the same as the last meeting.)
The lack of available resources, respect for educators, and competitive salaries compared to other professions has made hiring difficult. Retention limits the need for hiring. Here is seniority data through the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2018 for retention of certificated staff.
Length of service in the district (percentage of total certificated staff)
5 yrs or less
10 yrs or less
2018

54%
2022

It takes several years for teachers to orient themselves to their job and build confidence in their teaching practice. The healthy functioning of sites requires certificated staff being able to step up outside their classroom. In just five years SRCS’s staff has ten percent fewer experienced teachers available to step up in this capacity.
SRTA acknowledges that without recent salary and benefit package improvements these parameters would be significantly worse. It is imperative that enhancements to working conditions be implemented to improve retention.
There is a NEW Director Position posted: Director of Expanded Learning Programs. There is a NEW Coordinator Position: Coordinator of Extra Curricular Interventions. The board approved these job descriptions at the last meeting.
SRTA welcomes Sara Legesse (MHS), Caitlin Scheib (Ed Services) and Kurt Chapman (SRHS).
This month changes to classified staff include four new hires. There are no resignations and no retirements, so this month there is progress on hiring.
Nineteen posted classified jobs pay less than the city of Santa Rosa’s minimum wage of $17.06. Why would anyone apply for one of these jobs as posted on EdJoin? SRCS has not yet made the $1,000 bonus pay obvious to anyone looking at these job postings on EdJoin as requested.

F.7. Award Bid for the CCLA Roofing and HVAC Project
The Board will consider the bid award for the Cesar Chavez Language Academy (CCLA) HVAC/Roof/Skylight Replacement Project to Arntz Builders. This project is funded through the Measure I Bond Program. $12,053,054
Can it be clarified how much of the roof will actually be replaced at CCLA? Prior projects made it appear that there would be significant roof replacement, when actually the roof work was primarily limited to just what was needed for the installation of new HVAC jacks.
F.8. Approval of the Proposal for Construction Management Services for the CCLA Roofing and HVAC Project
The Board will consider awarding the bid proposal for Greystone West to provide construction management services for the Cesar Chavez Language Academy (CCLA) roofing and HVAC project. This project is funded through the Measure I Bond Program. Cost is 3.5% of project, totaling $512,944
Greystone has provided some of these services in recommending the above bid award. It is appreciated that this is a local firm.
F.9. Approval of CMAS Contract for the Purchase of HVAC Units for the Upcoming SRHS Phase 3 and Brook Hill ES Roof/HVAC Projects
The Board will consider approving the Siglar (Carrier) California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) Contract for HVAC units to stabilize price and ensure availability of units for summer projects.
The process of creating a new course for SRCS is not consistent. This course was proposed by Ed Services. Some course proposals have been required to come from sites, where there may not be time provided for this work. It is time to review and revise the process so it supports the time needed and can be implemented consistently.
F.11. Approval of CDPH Personnel Support for Antigen Testing Program
The Board will consider the approval of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Personnel Support for Antigen Testing Program. The vendor will work with the district/school and be responsible for administering COVID-19 testing onsite by certified personnel at locations and dates/times designated by the district/school. These additional services contracted with Mobile Med are funded separately from pre-existing COVID testing operations, and are provided at no cost to Santa Rosa City Schools.
F.12. Approval of Professional Services: Inspire Behavior Services
This contract will provide support for students with disabilities whose services through an Individual Education Plan require Temporary Adult Services. This contract provides one full time (7 hr/day) assistant at $44 per hour and one hour per week of consultation at $95 for the remainder of the school year, totalling $40,000.
Five part time Instructional Assistants positions are on EdJoin for $17.41 per hour (and one Substitute for $18.73 per hour). $17.41 is $0.36 above minimum wage. Fourteen 0.75 FTE (part time) openings for Special Education Assistants are posted for $17.83 per hour. One Enhanced Special Ed Assistant is posted for $18.28. Two part time Special Education Assistants for ENS are posted for $19.20 per hour. There is no confusion as to why these jobs remain unfilled. This contract is for 250% of the hourly rate for similar work. Providing full time work at $44 per hour demonstrates willingness to fill a position.
SRTA appreciates that at the end of the minutes are additional slides that were shared during the meeting, including the results of the facility survey.

Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing the Week of November 7-11 as the week of the School Psychologist
The School Psychologists who play a significant roll in the learning and success of ALL the Santa Rosa City students, most especially our exceptional students include: Darcy Analora, Marianne Ballatore, Angela Bonner, Nancy Castillo, Kim Craven, Mina Duffy, Deanna Fontanes-Halliday, Rachael Prather, Adrianna Howarth, Emily Jacobsen, Robert Johns, Lena Bragg, Jonathan Kendall, Theresa McCormick, Matthew Park, Diane Redalia, Oriana Reis, Taryn Reynolds, Celene Rodriquez-Alfaro, Jessica Tallman, Edward Vulpe, Jennifer Magnesi, Emily Jones, and Marisa Gonzales.
Recent upgrades to salary have helped SRCS recruit additional psychologists. It is now time to review the working conditions to ensure we can retain these folks and ensure our students are getting the continuity and level of service they deserve.
E.2. (Discussion) Petaluma Health Care District: HEARTSAFE Community
Summary
This is a presentation by Petaluma Health District’s HeartSafe Community Program and Santa Rosa City School Nurses for a discussion on becoming a “Heart Safe School District” in partnership with Petaluma Health District.
Committing to improve safety conditions on our campuses is a positive shift.
Systemically maintaining AEDs and replacing necessary supplies is a welcome upgrade to past practice. Adding additional AEDs, Epi-Pen and Narcan supplies and training staff on utilizing these seems prudent. Systemically training all seventh-graders in CPR is a good thing.
There are no requirements for credentialed staff to update first aid and CPR training beyond initial certification when they first get their credential. Any non-coaching staff wanting this certification must arrange for and pay out of pocket.
Per the contract in F-6 this $147,000 three contract will replace current expenses of just $11,000 per year. There was reference that this will be partially funded through RESIG, but an amount was not included.
E.3. (Discussion) Facilities Master Plan (FMP) Update
Summary
This update is limited to revising the estimated cost of the outstanding projects in the 2016 FMP to reflect current market conditions, at a cost of $74,120. There will be a complete update to the FMP if new bond measures are passed.
There is no argument that SRCS facilities require maintenance and upgrades. According to this report $1.3 billion of work remains for high schools and $0.6 billion for elementary schools from that identified in the 2016 FMP.
An initial meeting of a new stakeholder committee organized but the Superintendent is scheduled to meet Tuesday.
IOQ scores are mentioned in this report. If these are to be a transparent part of the decision making process moving forward a better definition of IOQs is required, including the formula for calculating them, as well as a weighting of how much the IOQs will impact the spending priority decisions.
E.4-6. (Action) Updates to COVID-19 Safety Handbook, (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and CSEA 75 Regarding COVID-19 Vaccine Status Reporting and Testing, (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and SRTA Regarding an Addendum to the Return to School Guideline
Summary
As part of the California Department of Public Health gradual transition from COVID-19 pandemic to endemic, Employees, Contractors, and Volunteers in K-12 schools in the state of California are no longer be required to disclose their COVID-19 vaccination status and schools would no longer be required to verify COVID-19 vaccination status for Employees, Contractors, or Volunteers, nor mandate weekly COVID-19 testing for those who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or have chosen to not disclose their vaccination status.
CDPH and SCDHS now align with CDC in using online resourcing for up-to-date masking guidance by region.
These three action items update the handbook and agreements with labor unions.
Recent reporting in the Press Democrat cites an uprise of local COVID cases and warns of waves of flu and RSV. SRCS must systemically educate our students on hygiene practices and remain vigilant with efforts to maintain health and safety on campuses.
E.7. (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and SRTA Regarding Individual Graduation Plans (IGP) 3.0
Summary
Recent adoption of Individual Graduation Plans (IGP) 3.0 required agreeing to compensation to High School Counselors for the extra work to implement these plans. This MOU is based on the prior IGP MOU. It is funded by the Learning Loss Mitigation Grant Fund.
EdJoin shows a total of 136 current postings for 216 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 40 certificated openings (the same as the last meeting), and 3 certificated management openings (1 fewer than last meeting). There are 172 current classified openings (the same as the last meeting), and one classified management position (one more than the last meeting.)
There is a NEW Director Position posted: Director of Information & Evaluation. The board approved the job description at the last meeting.
SRTA welcomes Elise Benton (SRArts) and Richard Johnstone (RVMS).
It is noted that SRCS has now reached 27 notifications of staff at 1.2 FTE. These teachers are teaching on their prep. This is exhausting, and unsustainable. In other professions when someone works additional hours they are paid time and a half or double time in compensation. These teachers are paid straight time for these additional hours.
This month changes to classified staff include eight new hires. There are no resignations and no retirements, so this month there is progress on hiring. It has been requested that SRCS update their classified postings on EdJoin to make the bonus pay more noticeable to anyone looking at postings on EdJoin.

Five days of training were contracted for in June for $23,500. This contract adds an additional $57,547 for eleven more days of training, two days of coaching and eight hours of PLC sessions.
The Board will consider approval of the bid proposal submitted by King Consulting to maximize state funding opportunities for our District. This contract for an estimated $30,000 will include submitting SFPs for past projects as well as new construction.
SRTA celebrates the attempt to obtain eligible funding for past and future facilities projects.
F.8. Approval of Job Description for Coordinator, Extracurricular Intervention
The Board will consider approval of the proposed job description for Coordinator, Extracurricular Intervention. This is a new temporary position fully funded by the Expanded Learning Opportunities Grant.
SRTA is concerned with the growth of DO Admin level positions. This item has changed from its original posting from a Director to a Coordinator.
This coordinator is in essence in charge of district physical education and athletics, which is listed on the district website as being administered by Director Alisa Haley.
The job description calls for a BA preferably in journalism, communications, or marketing which is confusing for this position. Is this job absorbing some of the duties of site Athletic Directors or the Lead Athletic Directors?
The emphasis in the title of this position on eligibility is confusing when there are no district systems in place for academic intervention for students, let alone student athletes. Identifying students doesn’t seem to be difficult. Creating academic support that can be offered is the issue, but that is not addressed with this position. Spending these funds on an administrator reduces the opportunities the district can use to fund actual support for students.
F.9. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Director, Extended Learning Opportunity Programs
The Board will consider approval of the proposed job description for Director of Extended Learning Opportunity Programs.
SRTA is concerned with the growth of DO Admin level positions.
This position will oversee the development, organization and implementation of TK-12 after school, summer school and extended learning programs including enrollment, curriculum, assessment, behavior management and staffing.
An Admin Credential is not listed as required for this position.
Why is this a director position, and not a coordinator position?
This is a temporary position funded by the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program grant. At the ELO board presentation this was not mentioned. There was no intention of expanding ELOs presented at that meeting. Spending these funds on an administrator reduces the opportunities the district can fund for students.
F.10. Approval of Contract with GEMAS Consulting for English Learning Master Plan Revision
The Board will consider the approval of a contract for consulting services with GEMAS Consulting. This contract will support the revision of the Santa Rosa City Schools English Learner Master Plan. This plan provides a framework of instruction for Multilingual Learners to acquaint teachers, administrators, and parents with federal, state and district policies as well as programs, resources, and staff/parent development opportunities. This costs $28,000, which will be paid with Educator Effectiveness Grant funds.
SRTA supports the implementation of a more focused and pragmatic EL Master Plan. Reviewing 2021 state data shows that SRCS EL students have a graduation rate of only 62%, with only 3% successfully completing a-g requirements. EL students also underperform on the CAASPP. SRCS English Learner students, including those who have been redesignated are deserving of far more than SRCS has systematically offered them. Efforts to implement a plan are long overdue, and should be fast tracked.
SRTA members are invited to raise their hands and provide voice only comments during the meeting. 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.
Comments are requested at the board meeting to bring a member’s perspective to the messages contained in this analysis and share real experiences of the impact of district policies and practices. There is an invitation for comments on specific items during each item.
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.

The Board will consider approval of the revised contract for Anna Trunnell as Superintendent effective July 1, 2022.
As our school sites are burdened with the continued unmet need for more adults on campus these measures appear as valuing the district first.
There was a significant ‘right sizing’ of district admin salaries in June of 2019.
Providing the same percentage raise escalates the income gap within the district. Cabinet salaries are significantly above the state average, while teachers have just reached the state average. (See F-8 for schedule.)

There are 179 current classified openings (4 fewer than last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.)
SRTA bids a fond farewell to the resigning Kathryn Starr (RHS). We are losing 1 year of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!

F.8. Approval of 2022-2023 Unscheduled Management Salary Schedule for the Superintendent, Associate Superintendent, and Assistant Superintendent Positions
SRCS has three of five positions for Athletic Trainers unfilled. To address this, the agenda item states that SRCS is raising the salary for each of these positions by $33,000 per year.
F.13. Approval of Revised 2022-2023 Supervisory and Unrepresented Employees Salary Schedule
Summary The purpose of this Agreement is to allow the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) to reimburse SRCS for a portion of costs associated with the Math TOSA’s contract, in an amount not to exceed $100,000. SRCS agrees to pay for all required costs that exceed this amount.
This contract appears to be a repeat of an earlier contract from a prior year. How was that evaluated? How will this implementation be improved from the past attempt?
It seems prudent to include Dept Chairs at their Steering Committee meeting of intentions to engage in efforts such as these. The Math Chairs just met on October 3, and there was no information shared about this.
Will this be an additional TOSA that will need to be hired? Will this pull an experienced Math Teacher out of their classroom, and subject another site of students to an unstaffed math position?
F.15. Approval of Contract with Nelson Staffing for Child Nutrition Service (CNS)
Summary The Board will consider approval of the contract submitted for Nelson Connects to provide temporary workers for Child Nutrition Services.
This contract will pay Nelson 60% beyond the salary for up to five CNS staff, with the intent of hiring these temporary workers. How many temp to hires would make this effort a success?
Has SRCS advertising and recruiting been updated to highlight the bonus benefits approved by the board? Could someone looking at EdJoin miss this?
The schools being reviewed are Cesar Chavez Language Academy, James Monroe Elementary, Luther Burbank Elementary, Helen Lehman Elementary and Lincoln Elementary. All evidence will be uploaded to folders by December 8th. The State & Federal Programs will upload all evidence to the CDE Centralized Monitoring Tool by the end of December.

E.1. (Action) Approval of Resolution Proclaiming October 12, 2022, as Indigenous People’s Day
Summary
Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes that Native people are the first inhabitants of the Americas, including the lands that later became the United States of America. This resolution is in honor and supports all Indigenous People.
E.2. (Action) Approval of Resolution Recognizing the Week of the School Administrator October 9 through 15
Summary
Administrators are among the hardest working, yet often least recognized individuals in education. Administrators set the academic tone for their schools, departments, and divisions, and it is their vision, dedication, and determination that provide the mobilizing force for students having equitable access to educational programs and achieving success. Santa Rosa City Schools and the Board of Education seeks to honor these unsung heroes for their tireless efforts in pursuit of excellence in education for ALL students. The Board annually is asked to approve a resolution recognizing these contributions.
SRTA expresses a HUGE thank you to all of our administrators who work every day to make our schools safe and welcoming centers of learning for all students.
E.3. (Action) Approval of District and School Site Safety Plans
Summary
California Education Code §32280 through §32289.5 requires the development, annual review, update and approval of Comprehensive School Safety Plans (CSSP) by March 1st. California Education Code §32280 states that all schools shall develop a CSSP that addresses the safety concerns identified through a systematic planning process. All school staff must be trained on the comprehensive school safety plan. California Education Code §32281 explains that responsibility for the CSSP belongs to the School Site Council, or may be delegated to a safety committee made up of the Principal (or designee), a Teacher, a Parent, a Classified Staff Member and, consults with Law Enforcement, Fire and local First Responder agencies (effective January 1, 2019). During the summer, safety plans were reviewed by Santa Rosa Police, Captain Dan Marincik and Santa Rosa Fire Chief Marshal Paul Lowenthal.
The SSC or Safety Committee’s responsibilities include:
Approving the plan,
Recommending it to the local governing board for approval,
Monitoring its implementation, and
Evaluating the effectiveness of the planned activities at least annually.
SRTA wonders what systemic plans are in place to ensure each site is well versed in the various jobs required to respond to a catastrophe on a campus. What is the minimum intended action to update staff on emergencies and site plans?
E.4-7. Public Hearing and Action Regarding Sufficiency of Textbooks or Instructional Materials for 2022-2023
Summary
Education Code 60119 requires school district governing boards to hold a public hearing and determine by resolution that each pupil, including English Learners, has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials, or both, that are aligned to the academic content standards and consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum frameworks adopted by the State Board of Education in the following subjects: English-language arts, including English language development, history-social science, mathematics, and science.
The Board will consider approval of Resolution No. 2022/23-24 for textbooks and/or instructional materials sufficiency. (Education Code 60119) The Williams vs. State of California settlement (August 13, 2004) requires that the public hearing and certification of textbooks or instructional materials occur within the first eight weeks of each school year.
With the reduced use of textbooks and shift to utilizing digital and open source materials, can this item please include specific language to make clear to all stakeholders the specific sufficiency requirements appropriate to current classroom conditions?
E.8. (Action) Approval of Revisions to the Certificated Salary Placement Guidelines
Revisions to the Certificated Salary Placement Guidelines have been updated to allow current employees to submit verification of prior years experience for possible new salary step placement.
SRTA fully supports the proposed change to the guidelines, as well as the recommendation to place ALL employees in their proper placement on the salary schedule based on these guidelines. Since the 2019 revision, our members hired before the revision were paid less than new hires with the same experience, creating an inequity of pay in the district. This action will give our educators the correct salary placement and go a long way towards establishing equitable treatment for staff. The salary placement guidelines will make us more competitive with surrounding districts and help us attract and retain educators.
E.9. (Action) Approval of Provisional Internship Permit Applications (PIP) for Megan Hulett and Elise Benton
The Board will consider approval of a Provisional Internship Applications (PIP) for Megan Hulett and Elise Benton.

Resumen
El Día de los Pueblos Indígenas reconoce que los nativos son los primeros habitantes de las Américas, incluidas las tierras que luego se convirtieron en los Estados Unidos de América. Esta resolución es en honor y apoyo a todos los Pueblos Indígenas.
E.2. (Acción) Aprobación de la resolución que reconoce la semana del administrador escolar del 9 al 15 de octubre
Resumen
Los administradores se encuentran entre las personas más trabajadoras, pero a menudo menos reconocidas en la educación. Los administradores establecen el tono académico para sus escuelas, departamentos y divisiones, y es su visión, dedicación y determinación lo que proporciona la fuerza movilizadora para que los estudiantes tengan acceso equitativo a los programas educativos y logren el éxito. Las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa y la Mesa Directiva de Educación buscan honrar a estos héroes anónimos por sus esfuerzos incansables en la búsqueda de la excelencia en la educación para TODOS los estudiantes. Anualmente se solicita al Directorio que apruebe una resolución reconociendo estas contribuciones.
SRTA expresa un ENORME agradecimiento a todos nuestros administradores que trabajan todos los días para hacer que nuestras escuelas sean centros de aprendizaje seguros y acogedores para todos los estudiantes.
E.3. (Acción) Aprobación de los planes de seguridad del distrito y del sitio escolar
Resumen
El Código de Educación de California §32280 a §32289.5 requiere el desarrollo, la revisión anual, la actualización y la aprobación de los Planes Integrales de Seguridad Escolar (CSSP) antes del 1 de marzo. El Código de Educación de California §32280 establece que todas las escuelas deben desarrollar un CSSP que aborde las preocupaciones de seguridad identificadas a través de un proceso de planificación sistemática. Todo el personal de la escuela debe recibir capacitación sobre el plan integral de seguridad escolar. El Código de Educación de California §32281 explica que la responsabilidad del CSSP pertenece al Consejo del Plantel Escolar o se puede delegar a un comité de seguridad compuesto por el Director (o su designado), un Maestro, un Padre, un Miembro del Personal Clasificado y consulta con Agencias de cumplimiento de la ley, bomberos y socorristas locales (a partir del 1 de enero de 2019). Durante el verano, los planes de seguridad fueron revisados por la policía de Santa Rosa, el capitán Dan Marincik y el mariscal jefe de bomberos de Santa Rosa, Paul Lowenthal.
Las responsabilidades del SSC o Comité de Seguridad incluyen:
Aprobar el plan,
Recomendarlo a la Mesa Directiva de gobierno local para su aprobación,
Supervisar su implementación, y
Evaluar la efectividad de las actividades planificadas al menos una vez al año.
SRTA se pregunta qué planes sistémicos existen para garantizar que cada sitio esté bien versado en los diversos trabajos necesarios para responder a una catástrofe en un campus. ¿Cuál es la acción mínima prevista para actualizar al personal sobre emergencias y planes del sitio?
E.4-7. Audiencia pública y acción con respecto a la suficiencia de libros de texto o materiales didácticos para 2022-2023
Resumen
del Código de Educación 60119 requiere que las juntas directivas del distrito escolar celebren una audiencia pública y determinen mediante resolución que cada alumno, incluidos los estudiantes de inglés, tiene suficientes libros de texto o materiales didácticos, o ambos , que están alineados con los estándares de contenido académico y consistentes con el contenido y los ciclos de los marcos curriculares adoptados por la Mesa Directiva Estatal de Educación en las siguientes materias: lengua y literatura en inglés, incluido el desarrollo del idioma inglés, historia y ciencias sociales, matemáticas y Ciencias.
La Mesa Directiva considerará la aprobación de la Resolución No. 2022/23-24 para la suficiencia de libros de texto y/o materiales didácticos. Código de Educación 60119) El acuerdo Williams vs. El Estado de California (13 de agosto de 2004) requiere que la audiencia pública y la certificación de libros de texto o materiales didácticos ocurran dentro de las primeras ocho semanas de cada año escolar.
Con el uso reducido de libros de texto y el cambio a la utilización de materiales digitales y de fuente abierta, ¿puede este elemento incluir un lenguaje específico para aclarar a todas las partes interesadas los requisitos de suficiencia específicos apropiados para las condiciones actuales del aula?
E.8. (Acción) Aprobación de las Revisiones a las Pautas de Colocación de Salarios Certificados
Se han actualizado las revisiones de las Pautas de colocación de salario certificado para permitir que los empleados actuales presenten verificación de la experiencia de años anteriores para una posible nueva colocación de salario.
SRTA apoya plenamente el cambio propuesto a las pautas, así como la recomendación de colocar a TODOS los empleados en su ubicación adecuada en el programa de salarios según estas pautas. Desde la revisión de 2019, a nuestros miembros contratados antes de la revisión se les pagó menos que a los nuevos empleados con la misma experiencia, lo que crea una desigualdad salarial en el distrito. Esta acción les dará a nuestros educadores la asignación salarial correcta y contribuirá en gran medida a establecer un trato equitativo para el personal. Las pautas de colocación de salarios nos harán más competitivos con los distritos circundantes y nos ayudarán a atraer y retener a los educadores.
E.9. (Acción) Aprobación de solicitudes de permisos de pasantías provisionales (PIP) para Megan Hulett y Elise Benton
La Mesa Directiva considerará la aprobación de solicitudes de pasantías provisionales (PIP) para Megan Hulett y Elise Benton.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Resolution to Recognize September Attendance Awareness Month
Summary
The stated goal is to mobilize schools and communities to promote the value of good attendance and to take concrete steps toward reducing chronic absenteeism. Interventions include family contact being made by SRCS family mentors, and SART meetings. Re-engagement procedures exist for students enrolled in Independent Study including personal contacts with the family and students to learn what challenges are experienced by the family and how attendance can be improved.
With the current system of fund allocation being dependent on attendance (ADA), as well as the knowledge that missing school interferes with academic progress, it is prudent to focus on effective measures to improve attendance, particularly early in the year before bad habits are established.
EdData – District Profile – Santa Rosa High shows secondary students with a chronic absentee rate of around 18.5% for 2017-2019. Then a jump to 29.4% for 2020-21. The most impacted student groups with the percentage of students who are chronically absent (miss 10 or more days) are American Indian (53%), Hispanic/Latino (38%) and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders (33%).
EdData – District Profile – Santa Rosa Elementary shows elementary students with a chronic absentee rate of around 11% for 2017-2019. Then a jump to 24.9% for 2020-21. The most impacted student groups with the percentage of students who are chronically absent are American Indian (43%), Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders (35%) and Hispanic/Latino (30%).
Where is the data about the number of re-engagement contacts, and the summative data about the results of these efforts?
What is the financial impact of these absenteeisms on the district? How much money are we using to support these programs to help get students to school?
What metrics are utilized to evaluate the efforts that are being utilized to encourage attendance?
E.2. (Action) Recognize September 15 to October 15 as Latinx Heritage Month
Summary
Latinx have had a profound and positive influence on our country through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work, and service. They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect the multiethnic and multicultural customs of their community. 15,500 students and 58% of our students are Latinx.
A number of updates and/or policy revisions have been incorporated into the Handbook to align with the latest California Department of Public Health, Sonoma County Public Health Services, and Cal/OSHA policies. Additionally, a general restructuring of the Handbook was implemented in order to provide visual uniformity and improve comprehensive accessibility to current COVID guidance.
What is the plan for making test kits available to students and staff? How is distribution monitored?
Volunteers
The board put a policy into place requiring on site volunteers to be vaccinated or or be tested weekly for Covid-19. This caused a reworking of the requirement of various levels of volunteers on campuses. While attempting to simplify requirements, the resulting grid actually caused great confusion. The district website now has information with four levels of clearance.
If someone is being invited into a classroom for a supervised one time brief session with students, do we actually expect them to meet the requirements of a Level 1 volunteer? This includes Fingerprinting, Copy of Photo ID, Sex Offender Search (Meghan’s Law), TB Screening Assessment, Proof of Vaccine (or submit to weekly COVID Testing) and Mandated Reporter Training.
How do staff members know that volunteers must be cleared through the Volunteer Management System (VMS)? How do they know if this clearance has been met?
How do schools with high unduplicated pupil counts find volunteers for Field Trips etc? The hurdles put in place disproportionately impact schools in high poverty communities.

The leap from $7 million in 19-20 to $8 million in 2021-22 is not explained. What is the expected cost for transportation for 2022-23?
Have systems been put into place to alert families of riders with special needs to inform them when a route is delayed? How can we more effectively serve this clientele?
New middle school boundaries are included in the presentation without context. Is CCLA funding transportation for their students? Is WCTA able to provide these services in a timely fashion?
What impact is expected from the Education Omnibus Budget Trailer Bill?
Are there legal issues when student transportation needs are not met? How long is it expected to take for the 19 uncovered routes to be fully covered? What will be required to make this happen? Are students on uncovered routes left to wait hours until drivers can pick up a second route after completing a covered route? If so, is it the same students/routes every day?
What are the expected outcomes from the work on Bell Schedules? What kind of process will be used to create new schedules? Who will be included in these decisions?
Were there any changes to meet the requests for longer hours and sessions, greater access to programs, and clear, more frequent and timely communication?
Where is the data used to monitor academic progress through local and state assessment data, successful course completion and credit accrual, grades, and teacher feedback? What impact does this monitoring have on the program?
Where is the data used to monitor social/emotional wellness through Panorama Survey, Youth Truth Survey, School-based therapist and counselor feedback and Teacher feedback? What impact does this monitoring have on the program?
E.6. (Discussion) Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) 3.0
Summary
Students who need IGP 3.0 will be identified through transcript analysis. Only students needing this intervention will be allowed to utilize it. All students will be expected to graduate with as many credits as possible. Students utilizing the IGP 3.0 who will not reach the 220-credit threshold will be expected to achieve 180 – 215 credits, based on their particular credit standing. The IGP 3.0 will require that students meet all CSU and UC transferability requirements to graduate, thus ensuring they meet a-g requirements. The IGP 3.0 essentially reduces the amount of elective credits students must earn to graduate so they may concentrate on core subject matter credit recovery and completion.
Seeing that the class of 2023 is the last class of students who were in credit bearing classes at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the virus is moving into an endemic state, the IGP 3.0 will likely mark the phasing out of this intervention for SRCS.
SRTA appreciates the possibility of IGP 3.0 to allow students who have not succeeded with our a-g courses the opportunity to graduate.
Where is the data the committee reviewed to determine the need for IGP 3.0? How many seniors are currently eligible for this? How many students are so far below in credits that they are not expected to be able to meet the 180 minimum credit requirement? What option do they have to graduate?
What course completion data for current juniors indicates that continuing the IGP will no longer be necessary?
The details for participation in this plan are not attached. IGP 1.0 and 2.0 required students to continue to be enrolled in courses that they did not need to pass to graduate. This caused student grief and created less than ideal classroom conditions. Will students be able to enroll in courses that will better suit their individual needs, or will they be required to attend classes they do not need or want?
E.7. (Action) 2021-22 Unaudited Actuals
Summary This Unaudited Actuals financial report represents the District’s financial position after all revenues and expenditures for goods and services received between July 1 and June 30 have been recorded to the district general ledger and ending reserve balances determined. SRCS ended the 2021-22 fiscal year with a combined revenue total of $210,640,586 in the General Fund. This is an increase of $3,216,103 from the Estimated Actuals. SRCS ended the 2021-22 fiscal year with a combined expenditure total of $212,029,599 in the General Fund. This is an increase of $1,804,622 from the Estimated Actuals.
Revenues were $24 million more than budgeted. Expenses were $15 million more than budgeted in June. Notable areas with actuals exceeding budgeted amounts include an additional $6 million on books and supplies and $5 million more spent on Services and Other Operating Expenses.
The ending balance of $32.6 million is $24.1 million more than budgeted.
A promised summative report on Covid 19 income and expenses will help further understanding of SRCS finances, as will a promised summative report on Bond finances.
SRCS is required to meet a 55% cost of education expense for classroom compensation. The unaudited actuals show 55.15% spent on direct classroom costs.
The Budget Advisory Committee has not been convened since February.
E.8. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361
EdJoin shows a total of 143 current postings for 233 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 45 certificated openings (1 fewer than last meeting), and 4 certificated management openings (2 more than last meeting). There are 183 current classified openings (4 more than last meeting), and one classified management position (one more than last meeting.)
SRTA welcomes our new certificated hires:
Lana Katrangi (FACS), Erica Mikesh (LCMS), Brett Kovacs (ALES), and Myriam Dalmau (FACS).
Welcome back to our certificated rehires:
Christina Frost (LBES), Elizabeth Cookman (SRCSA), and Angela Barrett
(EAHS)
SRTA bids a fond farewell to the resigning Elizabeth Cookman (SRCSA) and Margaret Dezendorf (ABES). We are losing 6 years of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!
This month changes to classified staff include six new hires. Unfortunately that is no net change because of five resignations and one retirement. We thank these folks for their combined 36 years of service and wish them the best with their future endeavors.
There are two supervisory hires at this meeting. After a combined twelve and a half years of service, one supervisory employee is resigning and one is retiring. We thank them and wish them well.

E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN / ACCIÓN
E.1. (Acción) Resolución para reconocer el mes de concientización sobre la asistencia de septiembre
Resumen
El objetivo declarado es movilizar a las escuelas y comunidades para promover el valor de la buena asistencia y tomar medidas concretas para reducir el ausentismo crónico. Las intervenciones incluyen el contacto familiar realizado por mentores familiares de SRCS y reuniones SART. Existen procedimientos de reincorporación para los estudiantes inscritos en el estudio independiente, incluidos los contactos personales con la familia y los estudiantes para aprender qué desafíos experimenta la familia y cómo se puede mejorar la asistencia.
Dado que el sistema actual de asignación de fondos depende de la asistencia (ADA), así como el conocimiento de que faltar a la escuela interfiere con el progreso académico, es prudente centrarse en medidas efectivas para mejorar la asistencia, particularmente a principios de año antes de que se establezcan malos hábitos.
EdData – Perfil del Distrito – Santa Rosa High muestra estudiantes de secundaria con una tasa de ausentismo crónico de alrededor del 18.5% para 2017-2019. Luego, un salto al 29.4% para 2020-21. Los grupos de estudiantes más afectados con el porcentaje de estudiantes que están crónicamente ausentes (faltan 10 días o más) son los indios americanos (53%), los hispanos/latinos (38%) y los nativos de Hawái o de las islas del Pacífico (33%).
EdData – Perfil del distrito – La escuela primaria Santa Rosa muestra a los estudiantes de primaria con una tasa de ausentismo crónico de alrededor del 11 % para 2017-2019. Luego, un salto al 24.9% para 2020-21. Los grupos de estudiantes más afectados con el porcentaje de estudiantes que están crónicamente ausentes son los indios americanos (43%), nativos de Hawái o de las islas del Pacífico (35%) e hispanos/latinos (30%).
¿Dónde están los datos sobre el número de contactos de reincorporación y los datos acumulativos sobre los resultados de estos esfuerzos?
¿Cuál es el impacto financiero de estos ausentismos en el distrito? ¿Cuánto dinero estamos usando para apoyar estos programas para ayudar a que los estudiantes vayan a la escuela?
¿Qué métricas se utilizan para evaluar los esfuerzos que se utilizan para fomentar la asistencia?
E.2. (Acción) Reconocer del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre como el Mes de la Herencia
Resumen
Los latinos han tenido una influencia profunda y positiva en nuestro país a través de su fuerte compromiso con la familia, la fe, el trabajo arduo y el servicio. Han realzado y moldeado nuestro carácter nacional con tradiciones centenarias que reflejan las costumbres multiétnicas y multiculturales de su comunidad. 15,500 estudiantes y el 58% de nuestros estudiantes son latinos.
Se han incorporado varias actualizaciones y/o revisiones de políticas en el Manual para alinearse con las políticas más recientes del Departamento de Salud Pública de California, los Servicios de Salud Pública del Condado de Sonoma y Cal/OSHA. Además, se implementó una reestructuración general del Manual para proporcionar uniformidad visual y mejorar la accesibilidad integral a la guía actual de COVID.
¿Cuál es el plan para hacer que los kits de prueba estén disponibles para los estudiantes y el personal? ¿Cómo se controla la distribución?
voluntarios
La Mesa Directiva implementó una política que requiere que los voluntarios en el sitio se vacunen o se hagan la prueba semanalmente para detectar Covid-19. Esto provocó una reelaboración del requisito de varios niveles de voluntarios en los campus. Al intentar simplificar los requisitos, la red resultante en realidad causó una gran confusión. El sitio web del distrito ahora tiene información con cuatro niveles de autorización.
Si se invita a alguien a un salón de clases para una breve sesión supervisada de una sola vez con los estudiantes, ¿realmente esperamos que cumpla con los requisitos de un voluntario de Nivel 1? Esto incluye toma de huellas dactilares, copia de identificación con foto, búsqueda de delincuentes sexuales (Ley de Meghan), evaluación de detección de TB, prueba de vacuna (o presentación de prueba semanal de COVID) y capacitación obligatoria para reporteros.
¿Cómo saben los miembros del personal que los voluntarios deben ser aprobados a través del Sistema de Gestión de Voluntarios (VMS)? ¿Cómo saben si se ha cumplido con esta autorización?
¿Cómo pueden las escuelas con un alto número de alumnos sin duplicar encontrar voluntarios para excursiones, etc.? Los obstáculos establecidos impactan desproporcionadamente a las escuelas en comunidades de alta pobreza.

E.6. (Discusión) Plan de Graduación Individual (IGP) 3.0
Resumen
Los estudiantes que necesiten IGP 3.0 serán identificados a través del análisis de transcripciones. Solo los estudiantes que necesiten esta intervención podrán utilizarla. Se espera que todos los estudiantes se gradúen con tantos créditos como sea posible. Se espera que los estudiantes que utilicen IGP 3.0 y que no alcancen el umbral de 220 créditos alcancen entre 180 y 215 créditos, según su historial crediticio particular. El IGP 3.0 requerirá que los estudiantes cumplan con todos los requisitos de transferibilidad de CSU y UC para graduarse, asegurando así que cumplan con los requisitos ag. El IGP 3.0 esencialmente reduce la cantidad de créditos electivos que los estudiantes deben obtener para graduarse, de modo que puedan concentrarse en la recuperación y finalización de créditos de materias básicas.
Al ver que la clase de 2023 es la última clase de estudiantes que estaban en clases con créditos al comienzo de la pandemia de COVID-19, y que el virus se está convirtiendo en un estado endémico, es probable que IGP 3.0 marque la eliminación gradual de esta intervención para SRCS.
SRTA aprecia la posibilidad de IGP 3.0 para permitir que los estudiantes que no han tenido éxito con nuestros cursos de a-g tengan la oportunidad de graduarse.
¿Dónde están los datos que revisó el comité para determinar la necesidad de IGP 3.0? ¿Cuántas estudiantes de año 12 son elegibles actualmente para esto? ¿Cuántos estudiantes están tan por debajo de los créditos que no se espera que puedan cumplir con el requisito mínimo de 180 créditos? ¿Qué opción tienen para graduarse?
¿Qué datos de finalización del curso para los juniors actuales indican que ya no será necesario continuar con el IGP?
Los detalles para la participación en este plan no se adjuntan. IGP 1.0 y 2.0 requerían que los estudiantes continuarán inscritos en cursos que no necesitaban aprobar para graduarse. Esto provocó ansiedad en los estudiantes y creó condiciones de clase menos que ideales. ¿Podrán los estudiantes inscribirse en cursos que se adapten mejor a sus necesidades individuales, o se les exigirá que asistan a clases que no necesitan o no desean?
E.7.de datos reales no auditados de 2021-22
Resumen
Este informe financiero de datos reales no auditados representa la posición financiera del distrito después de que todos los ingresos y gastos por bienes y servicios recibidos entre el 1 de julio y el 30 de junio se hayan registrado en el libro mayor del distrito y se hayan determinado los saldos de reserva finales. SRCS finalizó el año fiscal 2021-22 con un ingreso total combinado de $210,640,586 en el Fondo General. Este es un aumento de $3,216,103 de los valores reales estimados. SRCS finalizó el año fiscal 2021-22 con un gasto total combinado de $212,029,599 en el Fondo General. Este es un aumento de $1,804,622 de los valores reales estimados.
Los ingresos fueron $24 millones más de lo presupuestado. Los gastos fueron $15 millones más de lo presupuestado en junio. Las áreas notables con cifras reales que exceden los montos presupuestados incluyen $6 millones adicionales en libros y suministros y $5 millones más gastados en servicios y otros gastos operativos.
El saldo final de $32.6 millones es $24.1 millones más de lo presupuestado.
Un informe resumido prometido sobre los ingresos y gastos de Covid 19 ayudará a una mayor comprensión de las finanzas de SRCS, al igual que un informe resumido prometido sobre las finanzas de los bonos.
Se requiere que SRCS cubra un 55% del costo de los gastos de educación para la compensación del salón de clases. Los datos reales no auditados muestran que el 55.15 % se gastó en costos directos del aula.
El Comité Asesor de Presupuesto no ha sido convocado desde febrero.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Discussion) EAHS/CCLA New School Model Update
Summary
The New School Model is focused on expanding a K-12 dual immersion pathway from CCLA to Elsie, designing a Newcomer Program (World House Model), and expanding the Career Technical Education (CTE) offerings at Elsie Allen High School.
The specifics in the agenda and presentation are the source for many questions.
What role does the SRCS CTE Advisory Committee have in the CTE program expansion at EAHS?
The Newcomer program is mentioned as including core subjects taught in Spanish. What is the plan for Newcomers who have a ‘home language’ other than Spanish?
The three phase plan does not include a timeline. What timeline is proposed for these layers of planning and implementation?
Where is the baseline data and the metrics that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts? What is the baseline number of CCLA students choosing to enroll at EAHS?
The finances of these efforts are not explicitly included. What costs is the $377,500 Dual Language Immersion grant covering? How much of the $1.1 million CTE grant received by the CTE Foundation of Sonoma County is earmarked for EAHS? What will this cover? What are the expected summative costs for these efforts? What is the expected total cost for consultants to lead these efforts?
$625,000 in SRCS current year LCAP funds are being used to fund 4 FTE to allow EAHS to have a 7 period day and 1 FTE Dual Immersion TOSA. Is it expected that the district LCAP will continue to cover this expense?
The additional FTE for CCLA to run a 7 period schedule is not in the district or site LCAP. Is this coming from CCLA general funds?
How do all these efforts work with the commitment EAHS has made to the AVID program?
The Board will be updated regarding the Child Nutrition Services (CNS) program for the 2021/22 school year and the start of the 2022/23 school year.
Everyone Eats For Free With A Student ID. CNS participation has dramatically increased with the free meal program. CNS has implemented an ID Card with a barcode system for elementary schools.
Paper or online meal apps are available for families that want additional benefits.
Because of the lack of staff, SRCS is not serving Piner-Olivet Union School District or Bellevue Union School District. Snacks deliveries to REFB sites throughout Sonoma County are continuing with coordinated deliveries by REFB.
The USDA and the state of California have significantly increased the reimbursement rates for meals served at school. CNS has operated with a positive balance.
E.4. (Action) Approval of Tentative Agreement between SRCS and CSEA 75, and the 2022-2023 Classified Salary Schedule with Schematic List of Classifications
Summary
7.5% increase to the CSEA 75 Salary Schedule effective July 1, 2022.
A one-time “off-schedule” stipend of $1,000 for each unit member based on FTE.
Contributions for Medical Plans shall remain at $1,049 and shall not increase for 2022-2023.
Our valuable classified staff keep us functioning as a district. This is the culmination of bargaining that began last spring. It remains to be ratified by our classified staff.
SRTA hopes that the $1,000 bonus to our classified staff is viewed as an appreciation of service and willingness to stay on with SRCS because we know you have a choice!
E.5. (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and CSEA 75, Regarding an Extension of Isolation Rooms and COVID-19 Leave
Summary
Sites will continue to have an isolation room/area equipped with supplies, and maintained by classified members.Classified employees who volunteer to take on the added duties will receive an additional $2.00 per hour to their existing pay classification through June 30, 2023.
Classified employees (two per site) will collaborate with the site administrator to maintain, stock PPE, clean and disinfect the area and complete all documentation to support the district’s COVID-19 Safety Plan (CSP) to continue to help keep our students and staff safe.
The 21-22 #2 MOU COVID-19 Leave approved by the Board on November 10, 2021 is extended with classified staff receiving 10 days leave related to COVID-19 illness during the 2022-2023 school year.
SRTA celebrates this timely agreement. Our valuable classified staff keep our sites safe and stocked. We appreciate the extension of Covid days matching the agreement with SRTA.
E.6. (Action) Approval of MOU between SRCS and CSEA 75, Regarding Recruitment and Retention Signing Bonus
Summary In an effort to recruit and retain classified employees, the parties agreed to a signing bonus MOU for newly hired classified employees through June 30, 2023. $500 will be paid after the new employee’s initial start date, and $500 will be paid at the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
SRTA appreciates this effort to fill classified positions. The dedicated classified staff who have chosen to remain with SRCS deserve a retention bonus!
E.7. (Action) Approval of Provisional Internship Permit Application (PIP) for Erica Mikesh
Summary The Board will consider approval of a Provisional Internship Application (PIP) for Erica Mikesh.
This is the seventh waiver SRCS is implementing for this school year.
E.8. (Action) Emergency Resolution Delegation Authority To The Superintendent To Take Necessary Action to Protect Students and Staff From The Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Summary This resolution declares that emergency conditions exist at Santa Rosa City Schools and authorizes the Superintendent to take any and all necessary actions to prepare and respond effectively to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

F.5. Approval of Resolution 2022/23-16 for the Use of 2021/22 Education Protection Account (EPA) Funds
Summary Although the EPA funds are not additional funds to the District, Proposition 30 transfers tax revenues to an EPA and requires that each K-14 local agency determine how the funds are spent and approve the spending during a public meeting.
For the 2021-22 fiscal year the EPA funds are as follows:
Santa Rosa Elementary District $679,296
Santa Rosa High School District $2,015,262
Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School $24,234
Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts $136,846
Santa Rosa French American Charter School $123,264
Cesar Chavez Language Academy $168,204
If approved, teacher salary expenses that were incurred during the 2021-22 school year will be transferred into these EPA accounts during the year-end close process. This is done at year-end because the final EPA amounts are known at this time. This recommendation does not impact payments to teachers or teacher seniority, and it complies with the law.
F.6. Approval of Mandated Block Grant Applications for 2022-23 for the Elementary School District, High School District, SRFACS, CCLA, SRCAS, and SRACS.
Summary The Board will consider approval of SRCS continued participation in the Mandated Block Grant program for the district and charter schools.
F.7. Approval of Contract with Petaluma City School District to Support Teacher Residency Program
Summary Napa spearheaded a STEM Teacher Residency program that SRCS participated in with SSU. Now that this has ended, SRCS is looking to lead a STEM Teacher Residency Program with SSU, and have Petaluma City Schools participate.
The total contract for the 22-23 school year amounts to $16,111. This contract is fully funded by the monies provided by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing Teacher Residency Capacity Grant program which awarded Santa Rosa City Schools, in collaboration with Sonoma State University and Petaluma City School District, $247,605.
F.9. Approval of 2022-2023 Supervisory and Unrepresented Employees Salary Schedule
Summary The financial impact for increasing the 2022-2023 Supervisory and Unrepresented Employees Salary Schedule to match the CSEA rate of 7.5% will be $463,609.
F.11. Approval Contract for Jeff Zwiers for Professional Development
Summary The Board will consider the approval of a contract for a professional development series with Jeff Zwiers, Increasing the Quality and Quantity of Authentic Communication in Every Classroom. This professional development series will focus on increasing the quality and quantity of language use and development for emergent bilinguals in content areas for elementary and math for secondary. This work focuses on improving systemic practices, and supports teachers’ capacity for enhancing instruction that maximizes language development through oral language and literacy activities.
This is intended for 3-6 grade teachers and secondary math teachers.
The total cost of this contract is $48,000, which will be paid with Title III funds.
What is the implementation plan for this PD? Where did the impetus for this particular consultant come from? Will all 3-6th grade and all secondary math teachers be invited to participate?
F.12. Approval of Contract with Dyslexia Certified Provider
Summary Structure literacy is an explicit and systematic approach to teaching reading building upon foundational skills and higher-level literacy skills. Students who have been diagnosed with a specific learning disability and qualify for special education services may need a more intensive approach to meet their needs necessitating the need for a certified specialist recognized by the International Dyslexia Association. This contract is to provide services from an Advanced Orton-Gillingham certified instructor for $54,520.
SRTA appreciates the acknowledgement that students with IEPs may require additional services. What is the plan for students to receive access to these services and how will this plan be evaluated?

E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN / ACCIÓN
E.1.( Discusión) Actualización del nuevo modelo escolar de EAHS/CCLA
Resumen
El nuevo modelo escolar se enfoca en expandir un camino de inmersión dual K-12 de CCLA a Elsie, diseñar un programa para recién llegados (World House Model) y expandir las ofertas de educación técnica profesional (CTE) en la escuela secundaria Elsie Allen.
Los detalles en la agenda y la presentación son la fuente de muchas preguntas.
¿Qué papel tiene el Comité Asesor CTE de SRCS en la expansión del programa CTE en EAHS?
Se menciona que el programa Newcomer incluye materias básicas impartidas en español. ¿Cuál es el plan para los Recién Llegados que tienen un ‘idioma del hogar’ que no sea el español?
El plan de tres fases no incluye un cronograma. ¿Qué cronograma se propone para estas capas de planificación e implementación?
¿Dónde están los datos de referencia y las métricas que se utilizarán para evaluar la eficacia de estos esfuerzos? ¿Cuál es el número de referencia de estudiantes de CCLA que eligen inscribirse en EAHS?
Las finanzas de estos esfuerzos no están explícitamente incluidas. ¿Qué costos cubre la subvención de inmersión en dos idiomas de $377,500? ¿Cuánto de la subvención CTE de $1.1 millones recibida por la Fundación CTE del Condado de Sonoma está destinado a EAHS? ¿Qué cubrirá esto? ¿Cuáles son los costos sumativos esperados para estos esfuerzos? ¿Cuál es el costo total esperado para que los consultores lideren estos esfuerzos?
Se están utilizando $625,000 en fondos LCAP del año actual de SRCS para financiar 4 FTE para permitir que EAHS tenga un día de 7 períodos y 1 FTE TOSA de inmersión dual. ¿Se espera que el LCAP del distrito continúe cubriendo este gasto?
El FTE adicional para que CCLA ejecute un horario de 7 períodos no está en el LCAP del distrito o sitio. ¿Viene esto de los fondos generales de CCLA?
¿Cómo funcionan todos estos esfuerzos con el compromiso que EAHS ha hecho con el programa AVID?
E.2.actualización anual de los Servicios de Nutrición Infantil
Resumen
La Mesa Directiva se actualizará con respecto al programa de Servicios de Nutrición Infantil (CNS) para el año escolar 2021/22 y el comienzo del año escolar 2022/23.
Todo el mundo come gratis con una identificación de estudiante. La participación de CNS ha aumentado dramáticamente con el programa de comida gratis. CNS ha implementado una tarjeta de identificación con un sistema de código de barras para las escuelas primarias.
Las aplicaciones de comidas impresas o en línea están disponibles para las familias que desean beneficios adicionales.
Debido a la falta de personal, SRCS no presta servicios al Distrito Escolar Unido de Piner-Olivet ni al Distrito Escolar Unido de Bellevue. Las entregas de refrigerios a los sitios del REFB en todo el condado de Sonoma continúan con entregas coordinadas por parte del REFB.
El USDA y el estado de California han aumentado significativamente las tasas de reembolso de las comidas que se sirven en la escuela. CNS ha operado con saldo positivo.
Con la exacerbación de la dificultad para contratar, ¿continuará CNS sirviendo a los estudiantes de SRCS?
La cantidad observada de alimentos preenvasados ha aumentado. El impacto en el personal de limpieza está marcado por el aumento en los artículos preempacados.
Los esfuerzos anteriores para obtener alimentos localmente no se mencionan en esta actualización.
La calidad general de la comida proporcionada tiene margen de mejora.
E.3. (Acción) Aprobación de Resolución para Septiembre Mes de Prevención del Suicidio
Nuestro valioso personal clasificado nos mantiene funcionando como distrito. Esta es la culminación de la negociación que comenzó la primavera pasada. Queda por ser ratificado por nuestro personal clasificado.
SRTA espera que el bono de $1,000 para nuestro personal clasificado se vea como una apreciación del servicio y la voluntad de permanecer en SRCS porque sabemos que tiene una opción.
E.5. (Acción) Aprobación de MOU entre SRCS y CSEA 75, con respecto a una extensión de salas de aislamiento y licencia por COVID-19
resumen
Los sitios seguirán teniendo una sala/área de aislamiento equipada con suministros y mantenida por miembros clasificados. Los empleados clasificados que se ofrezcan como voluntarios para asumir las tareas adicionales recibirán $2.00 adicionales por hora a su clasificación de pago existente hasta el 30 de junio de 2023.
Empleados clasificados (dos por sitio) colaborará con el administrador del sitio para mantener, almacenar PPE, limpiar y desinfectar el área y completar toda la documentación para respaldar el Plan de Seguridad COVID-19 (CSP) del distrito para continuar ayudando a mantener seguros a nuestros estudiantes y personal.
La licencia 21-22 #2 MOU COVID-19 aprobada por la Mesa Directiva el 10 de noviembre de 2021 se extiende y el personal clasificado recibe 10 días de licencia relacionados con la enfermedad COVID-19 durante el año escolar 2022-2023.
SRTA celebra este oportuno acuerdo. Nuestro valioso personal clasificado mantiene nuestros sitios seguros y abastecidos. Agradecemos la extensión de días Covid coincidiendo con el convenio con SRTA.
E.6. (Acción) Aprobación del memorando de entendimiento entre SRCS y CSEA 75, con respecto
resumen
En un esfuerzo por reclutar y retener empleados clasificados, las partes acordaron un memorando de entendimiento de bonificación por firma para los empleados clasificados recién contratados hasta el 30 de junio de 2023. $500 se pagará después de la fecha de inicio inicial del nuevo empleado, y $500 se pagarán al final del año escolar 2022-2023.
SRTA aprecia este esfuerzo para llenar puestos clasificados. ¡El personal clasificado dedicado que ha optado por permanecer en SRCS merece un bono de retención!
E.7. (Acción) Aprobación de la Solicitud de permiso de pasantía provisional (PIP) para Erica Mikesh
Resumen

F.5. Aprobación de la Resolución 2022/23-16 para el uso de los fondos de la Cuenta de Protección Educativa (EPA) 2021/22
Resumen
Aunque los fondos de la EPA no son fondos adicionales para el Distrito, la Propuesta 30 transfiere los ingresos fiscales a una EPA y requiere que cada K-14 agencia local determina cómo se gastan los fondos y aprueba el gasto durante una reunión pública.
Para el año fiscal 2021-22, los fondos de la EPA son los siguientes:
Distrito Primario
Santa Rosa $679,296 Distrito Escolar Secundario
Santa Rosa $2,015,262 Escuela Chárter Acelerada Santa Rosa $24,234 Escuela Chárter
Santa Rosa para las Artes $136,846 Escuela Chárter Francoamericana
Santa Rosa $123,264
Academia de Idiomas Cesar Chavez $168,204
Si se aprueba, los gastos de salarios de maestros en los que se incurrió durante el año escolar 2021-22 se transferirán a estas cuentas de la EPA durante el proceso de cierre de fin de año. Esto se hace al final del año porque los montos finales de la EPA se conocen en este momento. Esta recomendación no afecta los pagos a los maestros ni la antigüedad de los maestros, y cumple con la ley.
F.6. Aprobación de solicitudes de subvenciones en bloque obligatorias para 2022-23 para el distrito de escuelas primarias, el distrito de escuelas secundarias, SRFACS, CCLA, SRCAS y SRACS.
Resumen
La Mesa Directiva considerará la aprobación de la participación continua de SRCS en el programa Obligatorio de Subsidios en Bloque para el distrito y las escuelas chárter.
F.7. Aprobación del contrato con el distrito escolar de la ciudad de Petaluma para apoyar el programa de residencia de maestros
Resumen
Napa encabezó un programa de residencia de maestros STEM en el que participó SRCS con SSU. Ahora que esto ha terminado, SRCS está buscando liderar un Programa de Residencia para Maestros STEM con SSU, y que las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Petaluma participen.
El contrato total para el año escolar 22-23 asciende a $16,111. Este contrato está totalmente financiado por los fondos proporcionados por el programa de Subvención de Capacidad de Residencia de Maestros de la Comisión de Acreditación de Maestros que otorgó a las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa, en colaboración con la Universidad Estatal de Sonoma y el Distrito Escolar de la Ciudad de Petaluma, $247,605.
F.9. Aprobación de la escala salarial de los empleados supervisores y no representados para 2022-2023
Resumen
El impacto financiero de aumentar la escala salarial de los empleados supervisores y no representados para 2022-2023 para igualar la tasa de la CSEA del 7.5 % será de $463 609.
F.11. Contrato de aprobación para Jeff Zwiers para desarrollo profesional
Resumen
La Mesa Directiva considerará la aprobación de un contrato para una serie de desarrollo profesional con Jeff Zwiers, incrementando la calidad y cantidad de comunicación auténtica en cada salón de clases. Esta serie de desarrollo profesional se centrará en aumentar la calidad y cantidad del uso y desarrollo del idioma para bilingües emergentes en áreas de contenido para primaria y matemáticas para secundaria. Este trabajo se enfoca en mejorar las prácticas sistémicas y apoya la capacidad de los maestros para mejorar la instrucción que maximiza el desarrollo del lenguaje a través del lenguaje oral y actividades de lectoescritura.
Esto está destinado a maestros de 3.° a 6.° grado y maestros de matemáticas de secundaria.
El costo total de este contrato es de $48,000, el cual será pagado con fondos del Título III.
¿Cuál es el plan de implementación para este PD? ¿De dónde vino el ímpetu para este consultor en particular? ¿Se invitará a participar a todos los maestros de matemáticas de 3° a 6° grado y de secundaria?
F.12. Aprobación del contrato con un proveedor certificado de dislexia
Resumen
La alfabetización estructural es un enfoque explícito y sistemático para enseñar a leer sobre la base de habilidades fundamentales y habilidades de alfabetización de nivel superior. Los estudiantes que han sido diagnosticados con una discapacidad de aprendizaje específica y califican para los servicios de educación especial pueden necesitar un enfoque más intensivo para satisfacer sus necesidades, lo que requiere la necesidad de un especialista certificado reconocido por la Asociación Internacional de Dislexia. Este contrato es para proporcionar servicios de un instructor certificado de Advanced Orton-Gillingham por $54,520.
SRTA agradece el reconocimiento de que los estudiantes con IEP pueden requerir servicios adicionales. ¿Cuál es el plan para que los estudiantes reciban acceso a estos servicios y cómo se evaluará este plan?

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. and E.2. (Action) Approval of Resolution Calling for an Election Authorizing the Issuance of General Obligation Bonds of the Elementary and High School Districts to be Held November 8, 2022
Summary
$125,000,000 of general obligation bonds for Elementary and $398,000,000 for high school
These bonds would be payable into 2059
The total cost is estimated to be $233.8 and $752.5 million
The proposed bond language would allow for the replacement of aging flooring and furnishing of classrooms. Currently sites are required to use their limited funds for these purposes, so they languish.
This item must be approved tonight to make the deadline for the November ballot. Bringing this item to the board under such a tight timeline creates urgency that replicates oppression.
The board requested that this item include a plan for transparent and inclusive decision making on spending of bond funds. That is not included here.
This is a requirement before support can be provided to this campaign.
Also, there is a need for a full accounting of the prior bonds. How much was spent on each site? How much was spent on projects and how much on oversight and consultants?
SRTA member concerns on prior bond spending include
$2.6 million for an All-In-One Notification System (clocks) with all the bells and whistles, which the majority of functions have NOT been utilized
Replacement of asphalt in good shape and $655,000 on marquees at each site which do not address technology or “warm, safe and dry” goals.
Lack of oversight of contractors and projects
Implementation of new lock system through out the district without adequate inclusion in decision making creating persistent frustrations in accessing required space for teaching and learning
Replacement of HVAC equipment before it was at end of life, while not addressing HVAC systems that are long past their life expectancy.
Failure to address persistent problems in classrooms where classroom conditions expose students to annual flooding
E.3. (Action) Approval of 2022-23 45 Day Budget Update
Summary
COLA is 6.56% and there is a 6.28% LCAP augmentation.
TK is partially funded.
Continuation of Independent Study option
$16 million in additional funding which may be used to increase or stabilize instructional learning time, decrease or stabilize staff-to- pupil ratios, provide supports to address barriers to learning, provide instruction for credit-deficient students, provide learning supports to close learning gaps, and provide additional academic services. The funds are available through the 2027-28 fiscal year and expenditures will be reported to CDE.
$8 million for Arts, Music and Instructional Materials discretionary block grant.
$20 million one-time unrestricted discretionary grant.
60% of prior year transportation costs.
This 45 day revision has overall an increase of about $5 million to the budget.
The creation of the budget, and the details and implications are not transparent.
Given the additional funds the district is receiving from the state, there is a plea for the elimination of combination classes. Adequately reaching the needs of a single level class at this time is enough of a challenge. Adding multiple levels to a classroom makes the situation impossible, especially when these combo classes are filled to or beyond capacity.
As we begin the new year and rosters are being shared, there is a concern about class size. The best education for our students and classroom relationships are not possible when classes are enormous. Elementary classes with 32 or more students, especially combo classes, do not promote student learning. Neither do secondary classes with more than 35 students. The additional funding should be used to reduce class sizes.
E.4. (Action) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) reached with Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) and Santa Rosa Teachers Association (SRTA) regarding Safe Return to School Guidelines
Summary SRTA and SRCS have tentatively agreed on safeguards for students and staff. Full ratification includes board and SRTA member approval.
It is to be celebrated that this agreement is forged before the school year begins and also that the district has agreed to provide Covid days when those provided from the state end.
SRTA supports SRCS negotiating a new MOU with our classified unit that acknowledges the impact to their jobs for the continued extra Covid prevention efforts, as well as extending additional Covid days to classified staff to keep our students safe.
E.5. to E.10. (Action) Approval of Resubmitted Provisional Internship Permit Applications (PIPs) and Variable Term Waiver
EdJoin shows a total of 136 current postings for 237 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 56 certificated openings (3 fewer than last meeting), and 4 certificated management openings (2 more than last meeting). There are 177 current classified openings (11 less than last meeting), and no classified management positions (unchanged from the last meeting.)
SRTA welcomes these folks to their new administrative positions:
SRHS Jasmin Clewis, Victoria Martinez, Matthew O’Donnell, Taryn Pearson
SRMSMaria Theresa Aranda
Welcome back to the following rehires: Meryl Blomseth JMES, Sandra Cortes CCLA, Meghan Harrigan MHS, Susan Linder ALES, Laura May LES, Alison Peoples ALES, Jefferson Swift RHS and Emily Thompson EAHS.
There are eighteen transfers this year. Please help all your new site-mates feel welcome!
SRTA bids a fond farewell to the resigning Megan Maydole (CCLA) and Briana Quintana Barajas (CCLA) and the retiring Steven Salkovics (MHS). We are losing unlisted years of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!
This month changes to classified staff include thirteen new hires and one resignation. We thank them for their service and wish them the best with their future endeavors.
Supervisory employees have 2 new hires.

F.5. Approval of Resolution Requesting Fund Transfer To Borrow Funds From The Sonoma County Treasury As Needed During The 2022-23 Fiscal Year
The district uses cash funds as needed when necessary due to expenses acquired before property tax income is received. Should that not be sufficient, this allows for short term low interest loans from the Sonoma County Treasury.
It seems that decisions about inter-district transfers should have already been made by this point.
F.8. Approval of Soliant/VocoVision Contract
Summary
This contract will provide a temporary virtual Speech-Language Pathologist for one semester to cover the preschool program while a current employee is on leave. $73,260
This provides Lalilo, Renaissance Accelerated Reader, Renaissance Accelerated Reader 360 and Renaissance Star Reading to elementary and middle school students for $42,996.35
SRTA members are invited to raise their hands and provide voice only comments during the meeting. 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.
Comments are requested at the board meeting to bring a member’s perspective to the messages contained in this analysis and share real experiences of the impact of district policies and practices. There is an invitation for comments on specific items during each item.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Fir Ridge Property (1) Ratification of 2019 MOU with City of Santa Rosa (2) Supplemental Agreement with City of Santa Rosa Relating; and (3) Third Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement with Christopherson Builders.
Record the 2019 MOU with the city that allows for the sale of the property if proceeds are used either to finance the construction or acquisition of housing for District employees; or to create a revolving fund loan program to provide down payment assistance to District employees. This is released through a quit claim deed at close of escrow.
This “Supplemental Agreement” with the City memorializes that certain provisions of the 2019 MOU, requires the District to deposit the sale proceeds in a separate account and provide a quarterly statement allowing the City to monitor the status of the funds, and requires the District to provide the City with notice of the intended use of the proceeds so that the City can confirm the use is consistent with the 2019 MOU and its intent to provide a meaningful benefit to a reasonable number of employees.
Christopherson Builders are renegotiating their offer of $3,000,000 for the property to $1,210,000 with an additional $110,000 for each additional lot beyond 11 that is allowed in the final subdivision map. The original proposal assumed they could create 30 lots.
When the board explored a lending program to help staff procure housing, allowable income limits appeared to limit participation to mostly CSEA staff. With the substantial decrease in sale price, how many staff will this sale actually help?
SRTA has asked in prior agendized items, that the district provide some details about the program that would be established from the sale of this property. The City of Santa Rosa requires the district share with them the intent that a meaningful benefit to a reasonable number of employees be provided from the proceeds of this sale. SRTA requests that intent be publicly shared.
E.2. (Action) Public Hearing and Action Authorizing District Staff to Execute A Power Purchase Agreement and Related Easement with Ridgway Ave DG Solar LLC (Jua Capital) for the Design, Construction, and Installation of Solar Facilities and Related Purchase of Energy
The district expects that the cost of buying energy from this firm which will design, install and maintain on-site solar facilities will create a positive cash flow.
This project is expected to produce 6.1million KWh the first year and then decrease by 12% over the next 25 years while the cost per KWh increases by 1% per year.
The district has the option to purchase the installation or renew the contract each 5 years with the value decreasing by about $4 million per 5-year term.
Community members have historically been concerned about curb appeal.
Many sites need additional covered outdoor space for students. Were alternatives to covered parking considered?
SRTA applauds the idea of both saving costs and shifting to more renewable energy. There is a hesitation with this contract as prior arrangements with various vendors have had significant flaws. It appears that Ridgway Ave DG Solar LLC was created just for this project.
The eventual disposal of the installation is not covered in the contract.
E.3. (Discussion) Consideration of the Feasibility of School Improvement Bond Measures
Summary The Board will receive information regarding recently completed public opinion research assessing the feasibility of placing General Obligation Bond Measures on the November 2022 ballot to fund upgrades to SRCS classrooms, labs and school facilities. The Board will also be presented with information regarding the timeline and next steps for placing measures on the ballot this fall.
The results of the polling are not included. Staff was excluded from taking the internal survey. This was not appreciated.
While there is great need for improvements to facilities and ongoing technology needs, the process for utilizing prior bond funds was less than satisfying for many staff members. Until an inclusive and transparent process for making these spending decisions is established and communicated out, there are staff who will vigorously oppose further bond efforts.
SRCS will shift away from PCR to only utilizing antigen Abbott BinaxNOW professional Rapid Testing materials supplied at no cost through CDPH. Maxim Staffing will continue to offer ongoing testing services for SRCS students and staff. The April 2022 mandates are still in place, requiring staff that is not fully vaccinated to participate in weekly testing.
SRTA members are concerned about the highly contagious newest Covid variant. Many members have observed the ability to detect the variant with positive antigen results often don’t show until days after symptoms appear. Sonoma County outbreak data varies with sewage tests as many cases go unreported.
SRTA looks forward to a new Covid MOU guaranteeing protections to our students’ learning environment and our working environment.
E.5. (Action) Approval of Certificated Guest Teacher and Classified Substitute Salary Schedule Rates for 2022-2023
SRCS is acknowledging the difficulty of procuring enough substitute teachers by continuing the salary improvements offered last year.
SRTA members continue to support the streamlining of our hiring process.
E.6. (Action) Increasing Board Stipend by 5% to $486.20/month
This annual increase is allowed under board policy. Board members are compensated for meetings they attend or are excused from attending because of illness, jury duty, or a hardship deemed acceptable by the Board.
SRTA supports this item, viewing the annual increase of board stipends as an equity issue. This money helps create the possibility of more people being able to serve on our board.
E.7. (Action) Emergency Resolution Delegating Authority To The Superintendent To Take Necessary Action To Protect Students And Staff From The Spread Of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
EdJoin shows a total of 152 current postings for 249 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 59 certificated openings (44 fewer than last meeting), and 2 certificated management openings (8 fewer than last meeting). There are 188 current classified openings (13 more than last meeting), and no classified management positions (2 fewer than last meeting.)

C.7. Comentarios públicos sobre temas que no están en la agenda
Se invita a los miembros de SRTA a levantar la mano y proporcionar comentarios de voz únicamente durante la reunión. Respete el límite de tiempo estándar de tres minutos (y esté preparado para un cambio de último minuto a un límite de dos minutos). Solo los temas que no están en la agenda se tratan en este momento.
Se solicitan comentarios en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva para brindar la perspectiva de un miembro a los mensajes contenidos en este análisis y compartir experiencias reales del impacto de las políticas y prácticas del distrito. Hay una invitación para comentarios sobre artículos específicos durante cada artículo.
Comprométase a ver o asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directiva este año y hablar sobre un tema de la agenda que lo afecte a usted o a sus estudiantes. Los oradores son más impactantes cuando hablan bien, son serenos y razonables.
E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN / ACCIÓN
E.1. (Acción) Propiedad de Fir Ridge (1) Ratificación del MOU de 2019 con la Ciudad de Santa Rosa (2) Acuerdo Suplementario con la Ciudad de Santa Rosa Relacionado; y (3) Tercera Enmienda al Acuerdo de Compra y Venta con Christopherson Builders.
Registrar el MOU de 2019 con la ciudad que permite la venta de la propiedad si los ingresos se utilizan para financiar la construcción o la adquisición de viviendas para los empleados del Distrito; o para crear un programa de préstamos de fondos rotatorios para brindar asistencia con el pago inicial a los empleados del Distrito. Esto se libera a través de una escritura de renuncia al cierre de depósito en garantía.
Este “Acuerdo Suplementario” con la Ciudad recuerda que ciertas disposiciones del MOU de 2019 requieren que el Distrito deposite el producto de la venta en una cuenta separada y proporcione un estado de cuenta trimestral que le permita a la Ciudad monitorear el estado de los fondos, y requiere que el Distrito proporcione a la Ciudad un aviso del uso previsto de los ingresos para que la Ciudad pueda confirmar que el uso es consistente con el MOU de 2019 y su intención de brindar un beneficio significativo a una cantidad razonable de empleados.
Christopherson Builders está renegociando su oferta de $3,000,000 por la propiedad a $1,210,000 con $110,000 adicionales por cada lote adicional más allá del 11 que se permite en el mapa de subdivisión final. La propuesta original asume que podían crear 30 lotes.
Cuando la Mesa Directiva exploró un programa de préstamos para ayudar al personal a adquirir vivienda, los límites de ingresos permisibles parecían limitar la participación de la mayoría del personal de la CSEA. Con la disminución sustancial en el precio de venta, ¿a cuántos miembros del personal realmente ayudará esta venta?
SRTA ha pedido en artículos anteriores que el distrito proporcione algunos detalles sobre el programa que se establecería a partir de la venta de esta propiedad. La Ciudad de Santa Rosa requiere que el distrito comparta con ellos la intención de proporcionar un beneficio significativo a un número razonable de empleados a partir de las ganancias de esta venta. SRTA solicita que la intención se comparta públicamente.
E.2. (Acción) Audiencia Pública y Acción que Autoriza al Personal del Distrito a Ejecutar un Acuerdo de Compra de Energía y Servidumbre Relacionada con Ridgway Ave DG Solar LLC (Jua Capital) para el Diseño, Construcción e Instalación de Instalaciones Solares y Compra de Energía Relacionada
El distrito espera que el costo de comprar energía de esta empresa que diseñará, instalará y mantendrá las instalaciones solares en el lugar creará un flujo de caja positivo.
Se espera que este proyecto produzca 6,1 millones de KWh el primer año y luego disminuya un 12% durante los próximos 25 años, mientras que el costo por KWh aumenta un 1% por año.
El distrito tiene la opción de comprar la instalación o renovar el contrato cada 5 años con una disminución del valor de alrededor de $4 millones por período de 5 años.
Históricamente, los miembros de la comunidad se han preocupado por el atractivo exterior.
Muchos sitios necesitan espacio exterior cubierto adicional para los estudiantes. ¿Se consideraron alternativas al estacionamiento cubierto?
SRTA aplaude la idea de ahorrar costos y cambiar a más energía renovable. Hay dudas con respecto a este contrato ya que los acuerdos previos con varios proveedores han tenido fallas significativas. Parece que Ridgway Ave DG Solar LLC se creó solo para este proyecto.
La eventual disposición de la instalación no está contemplada en el contrato.
E.3. (Discusión) Consideración de la viabilidad de las medidas de bonos para mejoras escolares
Resumen
La Mesa Directiva recibirá información sobre la investigación de opinión pública recientemente completada que evalúa la viabilidad de colocar medidas de bonos de obligación general en la boleta electoral de noviembre de 2022 para financiar mejoras en las aulas, laboratorios e instalaciones escolares de SRCS. La Mesa Directiva también recibirá información sobre el cronograma y los próximos pasos para colocar medidas en la boleta electoral este otoño.
Los resultados de la votación no están incluidos. Se excluyó al personal de realizar la encuesta interna. Esto no fue apreciado.
Si bien existe una gran necesidad de mejoras en las instalaciones y necesidades tecnológicas continuas, el proceso para utilizar fondos de bonos anteriores fue menos que satisfactorio para muchos miembros del personal. Hasta que se establezca y comunique un proceso inclusivo y transparente para tomar estas decisiones de gasto, hay personal que se opondrá enérgicamente a más esfuerzos de bonos.
E.4. (Discusión) Actualización de las pruebas de COVID para el personal y los estudiantes SRCS
dejará de usar la PCR para utilizar únicamente los materiales profesionales de pruebas rápidas Abbott BinaxNOW de antígeno suministrados sin costo a través del CDPH. Maxim Staffing continuará ofreciendo servicios de evaluación continuos para los estudiantes y el personal de SRCS. Los mandatos de abril de 2022 todavía están vigentes y requieren que el personal que no esté completamente vacunado participe en las pruebas semanales.
Los miembros de SRTA están preocupados por la nueva variante de Covid altamente contagiosa. Muchos miembros han observado que la capacidad de detectar la variante con resultados de antígeno positivos a menudo no se muestra hasta días después de que aparecen los síntomas. Los datos de brotes del condado de Sonoma varían con las pruebas de aguas residuales, ya que muchos casos no se informan.
SRTA espera un nuevo memorando de entendimiento de Covid que garantice la protección del entorno de aprendizaje de nuestros estudiantes y nuestro entorno de trabajo.
E.5. (Acción) Aprobación de las tarifas salariales de maestros invitados certificados y suplentes clasificados para 2022-2023
SRCS reconoce la dificultad de adquirir suficientes maestros suplentes al continuar con las mejoras salariales ofrecidas el año pasado.
Los miembros de SRTA continúan apoyando la simplificación de nuestro proceso de contratación.
E.6. (Acción) Aumentar el estipendio de la Mesa Directiva en un 5% a $486.20/mes
Este aumento anual está permitido según la política de la Mesa Directiva. Los miembros de la Mesa Directiva reciben una compensación por las reuniones a las que asisten o están exentos de asistir por enfermedad, servicio de jurado o dificultad que la Mesa Directiva considere aceptable.
SRTA apoya este punto, viendo el aumento anual de los estipendios de la Mesa Directiva como una cuestión de equidad. Este dinero ayuda a crear la posibilidad de que más personas puedan servir en nuestra Mesa Directiva.
E.7. (Acción) Resolución de emergencia que delega autoridad al superintendente para tomar las medidas necesarias para proteger a los estudiantes y al personal de la propagación del coronavirus (COVID-19)
EdJoin muestra un total de 152 publicaciones actuales para 249 puestos vacantes para SRCS. Hay 59 vacantes certificadas (44 menos que en la última reunión) y 2 vacantes certificadas en administración (8 menos que en la última reunión).

Comments are requested at the board meeting to bring a member’s perspective to the messages contained in this analysis and share real experiences of the impact of district policies and practices. There is an invitation for comments on specific items during each item.
Please commit to watching or attending at least one board meeting this year, and speaking to an agenda item that impacts you or your students. Speakers are most impactful when they are well spoken, composed and reasonable.
E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361
E.2. (Action) Adoption of Santa Rosa City Schools Budget
Once the final Budget Act is signed into law, any changes to this revenue assumption will be addressed with the 45-day Budget Update.
The budgeting process remains confusing. The most recently completed actuals compared to the three year projection (2018-2019) show a cumulative projection of a $5.6 million deficit while the cumulative actuals were a $3.1 million surplus. January’s Financial Stabilization Plan laid out the need for $21.3 million in cuts for 2023-2024. This current budget requires $6.4 million in ongoing cuts for 2023-2024.
In 2020-2021 SRCS budgeted $175 million in expenses. The actual expenses were $199 million. There is no identified process for budgeting the additional $24 million in expenses, while the Budget Advisory Committee simultaneously assembled to locate $7.4 million in reductions (which were mostly accomplished by shifting expenses from Fund 01.)
E.3. (Action) SRCS LCAP
Summary The Board will conduct a public hearing on the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).
It would be very helpful if the funds that are subject to “Local Control” and included in the LCAP could be identified.
What does “collaborating across district departments to ensure deep understanding of the goals, actions, and metrics” look like in practice?
SRTA requests an addendum to this plan that includes user friendly explanations for each of the action items. Including transparency around systems for accessing funds and programs would assist with increasing the desired implementation of these plans.
The document asks for a summary of the feedback provided by specific educational partners. This is not actually addressed in the document with any specificity. The agenda says feedback was incorporated. There is no identification of any changes made to the document after the last board meeting, although the verbage says that updates were made.
The summary of the feedback provided by specific educational partners in the actual document includes every meeting at every site which is disingenuous. The summary of meetings provided in the board agenda appropriately lists collaborative efforts for creating this update.
SRTA reiterates the need for a specified district system for reviewing, reflecting and revising this work at both the district and the site level (beyond utilizing Site Councils to approve completed documents.) The creation of such systems would serve our students well.
The A-G completion goal remains an overly positive improvement of 15% over three years.
A general implementation plan is desperately needed for the success of efforts.
SRTA calls out the need for a specified district system for reviewing, reflecting and revising LCAP work at our Charter Schools. The creation of such systems would serve our students and stakeholders well.
E.8. (Action) Approval of the Reorganization of District Level Administration
This org chart redistributes Executive Directors between TK-6 and 7-12. It is also much more specific in listing positions. These updates are appreciated.
This reorganization is stated to save $20,000 with the reduction of the Associate Superintendent of Educational Services to an Assistant Superintendent. The Assistant Superintendent of Technology and Information Services was part of last year’s plan, but has not been implemented until this board meeting. That amounts to an actual additional cost of $172,000, or net increase of $152,000.
EdJoin shows a total of 176 current postings for 290 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 103 certificated openings (5 less than last meeting), and 10 certificated management openings (6 more than last meeting). There are 175 current classified openings (5 more than last meeting), and 2 classified management positions (the same as last meeting.)
SRTA welcomes these folks to their new administrative positions:
Roderick Castro – Asst. Superintendent, Ed Services
RandVan Dyke – Asst. Superintendent, Technology and Information Services
Aida Diaz – Principal CCLA
SRTA bids a fond farewell to the resigning Mercedes Castro (LBES) and the retiring Scott Beiswanger (EAHS). We are losing 24 years of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!
This month there is one supervisory retirement, after 27 years of service. We are grateful for their service to our students and staff.
