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.

There is no evidence of the metrics used to evaluate contracts that are being renewed.
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.)

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.

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 188 vacantes clasificadas actuales (13 más que la última reunión) y ningún puesto gerencial clasificado (2 menos que la última reunión).

Las instalaciones continuarán trabajando con M&O para recolectar ofertas para reemplazar el sistema. Esta queja quedará sin resolver. El distrito presentará un informe actualizado el próximo trimestre.

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.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361
E.2. (Action) Approval of MOU reached with SRCS and SRTA regarding Co-Teaching Pilot
Summary The Board will consider approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) reached with Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) and Santa Rosa Teachers Association (SRTA) regarding a Co-Teaching Pilot.
SRTA members will complete a ratification vote on this tentative MOU on June 17.
SRTA celebrates this initial agreement around Co-teaching which has been piloted in the district for a few years. Our members feel strongly that in order for the co-teaching model to work effectively it is vital that volunteers receive ongoing training and have continuous compensated collaboration time. It is also best practice to actively evaluate and modify our course of action to ensure what we are doing is successfully meeting our goals.
E.3. (Discussion) Universal Transitional Kindergarten Plan
Summary
The Board will receive a report on the California Universal Pre-Kindergarten Initiative and Santa Rosa City Schools’ Plan that outlines the details around expansion of the program in the District.
It will be an enormous undertaking for SRCS to grow the TK program by 350% over the next five years from 171 to 600 students. SRTA members insist that these 1:12 (1:10) student to staff ratios be adhered to, which requires successfully recruiting and retaining staff. There is also an insistence that these TK students not be subjected to combo classes. The needs of TK and K students are dramatically different, and they deserve the undivided attention of staff to appropriately meet their needs.
There are transportation and facility implications to accommodate this growth including the addition of 24 classrooms including appropriate restrooms.
After school child care is predicted to remain constant during this same time of growth at 120 students.
E.4. (Discussion) Learning Supports for 2022/2023
Summary The Board of Education will receive information about systemic support for student learning in the TK-12 Santa Rosa City Schools district.
Most of what is highlighted in this presentation are established learning supports. What metrics are used to evaluate these supports? How are these supports evolving to better serve the needs of our students?
E.5. (Action) A-G Completion Improvement Grant Plan
Summary The Board will consider approving the A-G Completion Improvement Grant Plan.
Where is the data around our credit recovery programs? Did high school students who completed Acellus courses last summer or Cyber High courses find success in the subsequent course? How will we monitor the ISP students who return to campuses following their Acellus experience? What supports are in place for students transitioning from these programs?
Increasing the percentage of students meeting CSU/UC requirements A-G by 15% over a three-year period is nearly doubling our current rate. While this is an admirable goal, implementing 3.2 FTE Math TOSAs and $8,000 annually on tutoring is not sufficient to support this level of improvement on this metric.
E.6. Public Hearing for SRCS LCAP
Summary The Board will conduct a public hearing on the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP).
The plans for sharing and follow-up with SRTA around this document did not come to pass. Allowing two minute comments to the board seems an inefficient way to collaborate. Here are initial comments on this plan as presented.
The revised plan has more streamlined goals for which there is appreciation. There is also a clear attempt to adjust metrics to items that can be reviewed on a semi-annual basis. Unfortunately many benchmarks are still not included.
The updated financials provided for this year’s plan include a total budget of $19,391,262.97 with $10,628,724 spent on approved line items. This is $8,762,539.18 or 45% of the budget unspent as planned. An additional $5,200,225.85 was spent on line items 1.29 – 1.32 which are unique to this newest version of this document. The ingenuity at moving expenses that were previously funded with the general fund to LCAP monies is appreciated. This leaves $3,562,313.33 unspent. What happens to these funds?
What does “collaborating across district departments to ensure deep understanding of the goals, actions, and metrics” look like in practice?
SRTA continues to request 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 focus on “… providing students access to the most appropriate array of courses while completing high school” is questionable. High school students are given ‘access’ by being placed in A-G courses no matter the appropriateness. For students who are not well prepared for the rigors of an A-G curriculum, there are not ‘appropriate’ choices. “Access” doesn’t mean the courses are actually accessible for these students.
Support efforts identified in Goal 1 of the LCAP: Secondary Math Teacher on Special Assignment focused on supporting the development of a comprehensive math plan. The percentage of students meeting CSU/UC requirements when graduating will have increased by 15% over a three-year period. Track the number of students completing either A-G OR CTE requirements through a data dashboard. Support students in taking a-g courses and qualifying to attend a four-year university and/or some form of higher education. Directors focus on building capacity in district leadership in implementing a-g requirements, ALD roll-out, and additional counseling to address SEL.
Instituting committees and training must include compensation for the time to participate. Expecting teachers to volunteer their time for summer training is completely unreasonable. Currently Orton Gillingham, AVID and AP training have registration costs covered by SRCS, but teachers’ time is volunteered. The time for Ethnic Studies training and course development is compensated as it should be. This inequity must be addressed. If SRCS is focused on an outcome, they should fully support the implementation to attain the outcome by compensating the necessary time to train and do the work.
Textbook adoption efforts must abide by the agreements made in the policy writing committee, honoring that different sites have the freedom to choose different curriculums, to best meet the needs of their students.
Regarding learning platforms, the Budget Advisory Committee was assured when reducing this line item was removed from the Fiscal Stabilization Plan that programs would be renewed for the 2022-2023 year, and evaluated collaboratively to consider elimination of programs. Contrary to this agreement, this document makes it seem that some programs will not be continued for this next year.
The Budget Advisory Committee was NOT consulted around this revised LCAP. They haven’t met since January 2022.
A summary of the feedback provided by specific educational partners includes every meeting at every site. This listing is misrepresentative. Most sites have NOT reviewed their SPSA, or participated in their revisions. There is no district recommended system for doing this work at the site level beyond utilizing Site Councils. The creation of such a system would serve our sites well.
The A-G completion goal is an overly positive improvement of 15% over three years. The number of students graduating with less than 180 units should be tracked and reported out. The graduation rate is projected to improve by 5% over a three year period, which seems a more attainable goal, when considering our current situation.
An implementation plan including communication and training around MAP is necessary to actually assess all secondary students with this tool. Transparency around the decision to utilize MAP is lacking. A general implementation plan for change is desperately needed for success of new efforts.

EdJoin shows a total of 164 current postings for 284 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 108 certificated openings (23 more than last meeting), and 4 certificated management openings. There are 170 current classified openings (4 more than last meeting), and 2 classified management positions (one less than last meeting.)
The inordinate delay in posting of promised positions negatively impacts the pool we can draw from.
Many SRTA members have had their requests for permissive Leave of Absences denied, and have had to resign to provide themselves the relief needed for their mental health. In this unprecedented time of stress a more humanizing process seems prudent. Attracting and retaining highly qualified staff is an issue. Instead of comforting these employees and strengthening their bonds to the SRCS community we are shunning them, and creating grudges. SRCS decisions do not encompass truly restorative practices.
SRTA bids a fond farewell to the resigning Ricardo Alcala (EAHS), Roxana Boudreau-Becklund (MCHS), Krystin Bradford (SLES), Mark Cohrn (ARTS), Angelina Gomez (PHS), Nicole Housh (PHS), Katrina Rowsey (MHS) and Aliah Singh (HCMS). We are losing 65 years of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!
There is one classified new hire. This month there is notice of one resignation. They leave taking 8 years of institutional knowledge with them. We are grateful for their service to our students and staff.
Matthew Dunkle has resigned as Secondary Director of Teaching and Learning after 9 months.

F.6. Approval of MOU reached with SRCS and SRTA regarding Site Bell Schedules, Instructional Minutes and Prep Periods
Summary
The Board will consider approving the Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) that were reached with Santa Rosa City Schools (SRCS) and the Santa Rosa Teachers Association (SRTA) collective bargaining representatives regarding site bell schedules, instructional minutes and prep periods.
A bell schedule committee was in place this year. Unfortunately, it did not lead to any clarification or agreements. It seems prudent to prepare new language for the future contract negotiations regarding parameters for bell schedules sites can operate without requiring an annual MOU for ‘going against the contract.’
F.7. Approval of New Course: Integrated Math 1A/1B
Summary
The Board is being provided a description of a new two-year Math 1 course, titled Integrated Math 1A/1B for possible approval.
SRTA appreciates the urgent call to action from the board concerning student difficulties obtaining Math credits. This course is intended to provide some students more time to digest the Math 1 content, while also having time to address foundational skills required for success. The board’s acceptance of this course will allow recruitment of students and course preparation to begin now to allow this course to begin this fall. It will also allow this course to be sent to the UC Office of the President for A-G approval.

F.10. Approval of Site Single Plans for Student Achievement
Summary
The Board will consider approval of the elementary, middle, and high schools’ Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for the 2022-2023 school year.
Please click on site names below to see the SPSA for each site.
It is confusing that CCLA has a SPSA in addition to an LCAP while the other charter school campuses are limited to LCAPs.

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. Please commit to watching 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) Recognizing May as the Month of Speech and Language Pathologist
SRTA extends appreciation to our SLPs and celebrates their work with our students.
E.3. (Action) Resolution Recognizing the School Administrator
With the immense role that administrators have taken in supporting schools this school year, the Board is asked to recognize all administrators for their service and support for this school year.
SRTA appreciates the impact administration can have on our school system. They work under the threat of termination, without a union to bargain a contract and ensure due process. We have advocated for adjustments to the demands made of them this year. It is impossible to continue improvements with the constant churn of administration. SRTA members are asked to extend appreciation to their administration!
E.4. (Action) MOU with CSEA 75 Regarding Mandatory Training
Summary SRCS agrees to pay CSEA $100.96 for completing mandatory training for this year. Ongoing, three hours will be provided during the principal-directed work day at the beginning of the year for completing this training. This ongoing time is the same for certificated employees.
It is hoped that the district will evaluate the impact of placing mandatory training during principal-directed day as this day is critical for the development of site cohesion and vision. These days are generally packed with necessary work! The district-directed day may be worth consideration as a more appropriate time for this work.
E.5. (Action) MOU with CSEA 75 Regarding Special Education Assistant’s Initial Salary Step Placement
Summary SRCS starts CSEA hires at the bottom of the pay schedule. SCOE is eliminating many Sped. Assistant positions. In order to recruit, SRCS will have temporary authority to place former SCOE Sped. Assistants at any place on the salary schedule.
There is no question that SRCS has a difficult time hiring Sped Assistants, and being understaffed puts our classrooms at a distinct disadvantage. The willingness of SRCS and CSEA to temporarily bend the rules is appreciated. However, if these rules were to be adopted across the board, SRCS could attract Sped Assistants with experience from various other agencies, not just SCOE. This could help fill the current 83 assistant openings!
E.6. (Action) Resolution for Governing Board Elections November 2022
Summary This officially calls for the election of three qualified persons to fill the open positions on the Board for trustee voting areas 2, 4, and 6. The terms of Omar Medina, Jill McCormick, and Stephanie Manieri are expiring this year.
It is important to note that if there is only one name put forth, they assume the role without an election.
E.7. (Action) Removal of Plaques from SRCS Campuses
Summary Plaques stating “This building dedicated to TRUTH – LIBERTY – TOLERATION by the Native Sons of the Golden West” were placed at SRHS in 1935, Proctor Terrace in 1949, FACS/Doyle Park in 1952, and Montgomery HS in 1958. The Native Sons is an organization in decline that restricts membership to native Born Californians (or more recently those that have lived in CA for 18 or more years.) Historically they have been dedicated to historical preservation, supporting Native Americans, and opposing immigration. They provide funds to hospitals caring for children born with cleft palate.
SRTA hopes for a swift conclusion to this item allowing sufficient time for other matters on this lengthy agenda.
Summary The class of 2025 is the inaugural class that must have at least one Ethnic Studies course to graduate. This year there were twenty-three sections offering three courses to 383 students (average 17 students per section.) Next year the plan is for forty-six sections offering five courses, four of which are at high schools. The majority (78%) of these are English courses.

E.9. (Discussion/Action) Consideration of the Feasibility of School Improvement Bond Measures for SRCS
Summary Info about potential placement of new General Obligation Bond Measures on the November 2022 ballot. Revising the Facility Master Plan will be considered if the board decides to proceed.
Polling, mailing and consulting for bond measures would cost: $161,965.
A simplified cumulative report on the spending of past bond funds would be helpful for this discussion.
SRTA members can attest to the continued need for addressing our aging facilities. Moving forward with a bond measure must include securing the support of employees which will require a more inclusive and transparent decision making process for using bond funds.
E.10. (Discussion) Solar Photovoltaic Technology (PV) Project Presentation
Summary District staff has identified an opportunity to install solar Photovoltaic Technology (PV) at twenty (20) schools throughout the District. There are plans for covered carport structures at ALES, ABES, HCMS, CCLA, DO, EAHS, MCHS, MHS, PHS, SRHS, and HSMS. A roof mounted array is planned for SRCSA. Alternative placement is to be utilized at BHES, HLES, HVES, JMES, Lewis, RVMS, SRMS and SLES. Sites not included are LBES, FACS and PTES. This no-cost project is funded through a District Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Depending on the PPA option selected by the district, the project is expected to generate between $175,000 – $320,000 in Year 1 savings (compared to the District’s current electricity rates), and a cumulative savings of approximately $35-$40M over the life of the installed systems (using conservative escalation estimates for the future costs of grid-provided electricity).
This item will be the first time most SRTA members have heard about this project.
Utilizing more solar power is financially responsible. Our community has not historically supported visible structures to support this equipment. Can these structures be installed without being an eyesore?
E.11. (Discussion) Governor’s May Revision Update to the Proposed 2022-23 State Budget
Summary While the current financial situation of California is shown to be growing significantly over the past five months, increasing the COLA from 5.33% to 6.56%. The forecast for the next three years is that conditions will decline to a COLA of only 4%.
With the May Revise, the employee retirement system contribution rates for CalSTRS are unchanged, while CalPERS are decreasing.However, state contributions used for offsetting these expenses are decreasing.
New laws:
Universal Meals will continue
Menstrual products must be supplied in all women’s, all-gender, and at least one men’s restroom.
Seniors must submit a FAFSA or CADAA (Dream Act) for student aid, unless guardians opt out.

EdJoin shows a total of 143 current postings for 259 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 85 certificated openings (77 fewer than last meeting), and 5 certificated management openings. There are 166 current classified openings (6 more than last meeting), and 3 classified management positions (three more than last meeting.)
There are additional positions that have been promised but are not yet posted.
SRTA congratulates Kathryn Hower (SRHS) who has noticed their retirement. SRTA bids a fond farewell to the resigning Meryl Blomseth (JMES), Kristie Coleman (CCLA), Samantha Gonzalez (SPSV) and Katie Yzaguirre (SPSV). We are losing 64 years of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!
There is one classified new hire. This month there is notice of two resignations and two retirements. They leave taking 40 years of institutional knowledge with them. We are grateful for their service to our students and staff.

E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361
E.2. (Action) Resolution Proclaiming the Recognition of Administrative Professionals in May 2022
SRCS has remarkably expanded mental health services recently. SRTA knows that the utilization of these services for students relies on caring and observant members. SRTA encourages members who are experiencing personal difficulty to reach out for help.
Kudos to our school nurses who are an incredible group!
While SRCS has made strides to increase our nursing staff, we are still woefully shy of appropriate staffing ratios.
The California School Nurses Organization recommends one nurse to 1200 elementary students, one nurse to 1500 secondary students, and one nurse to 100 severely handicapped students.
E5. (Action) Consider Contract Approval of eduClimber Software by Illuminate Ed
Summary The Board will receive information on and consider approval of the contract with Illuminate Education for the eduCLIMBER data dashboard platform. Initial cost including the first year of service and training $111,464. Ongoing annual cost $91,964.
SRTA appreciates the sketched out implementation plan. Where will the comprehensive implementation plan be available including a matrix of who has access to what, and specifically who will be included in which training and when will these be held?
What is the plan for turning this data into actionable items? What are the expected actions relative to specific indicators? Where is this mapped out?
Have earlier data integrity issues with this program been resolved? Is the expectation they will not hinder full implementation of this tool?
The presenter for the Aeries program that was considered stated that under the current contract SRCS has full access to their monitoring program. SRTA supports allowing sites to utilize and individualize this program specifically to allow for monitoring of specific metrics for high school WASC monitoring.
E6. and 7 (Action) Issuance and Sale of a General Obligation Refunding Bonds of the District and Related Actions
Elementary Bond Sale: $23,100,000 Total Estimated Repayment: $32,541,642 Resolution 2022/22-56
When comparing this secondary contract to the elementary contract, SRTA is confused as to why issuing $900,000 more in bonds (an increase of 3.9%) leads to repayment of $2.5 million more (an increase of 7.7%).
Is this the last issuance of bonds?
What are the remaining specific items that this money will allow SRCS to address?
Where is SRCS at with updating the Facility Master Plan? When is the targeted start and completion of this expected?
Upon reflection, how would the process of spending of further bond monies be altered? It is recommended that SRCS invite stakeholder input and consultation with their union partners around these matters before embarking on another round of bonds, to ensure everyone is unified to help pass future measures.
EdJoin shows a total of 139 current postings for 258 job vacancies for SRCS. There are 162 certificated openings (92 more than last meeting), and 3+ certificated management openings with one a Secondary AP Pool. There are 160 current classified openings (52 more than last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.)
SRTA celebrates the approval of two additional people choosing to work less next year. Being flexible and supportive of staff needs allows retaining highly qualified staff for the long term while simultaneously building a more committed workforce.
SRTA congratulates the following members who have noticed their future retirements: Susan Cleek (HCMS) and AnneSullivan (PTES.) We also bid a fond farewell to the following resigning members Mercedes Castro (LBES), Zachary Hasbany (EAHS), Francine Leiphart (RHS), Megan Steward (T&L), and Rosa Martinez (EAHS). We are losing 67.5 years of wisdom and experience with your departure. Thank you for your service to our students!
There are three classified new hires. This month there is notice of three resignations and two retirements. They leave taking 34 years of institutional knowledge with them. We are grateful for their service to our students and staff.
There are three administrator resignations and one supervisory retirement after a combined 36 years of service. SRTA sends our appreciation to Rick Edson (Deputy Superintendent), Kimberlee Armstrong (Associate Superintendent of Ed. Services), Drew Morrison (Warehouse Manager) and John Kennedy (AP PHS) for your dedication to our students.
F.5. Approval of Contracts
Summary
#
Provider
Cost
Description
District
1
Matrix HG
$6,852
HVAC maintenance for main network rooms at various sites.
2
Informed K12
$36,968
Electronic internal office forms and workflow process to automatically collect signatures, route and track electronic forms.
3
SportsNet
$11,500
This program is used to manage all coaches and athletes 5 for all SRCS middle schools and the 5 comprehensive high schools.
In the January 12, 2022 contracts it was presented that upgrading the contract with Frontline for $207,400 would streamline HR processes and consolidate various other contracts including reducing the contract with Emics, Inc. dba Informed K12. In fact, this contract has increased from last year. It is stated that this contract is for a time of overlap while Frontline is more fully implemented. How long is this overlap expected to last? Is it wise to spend money and time creating new forms for a system that is being retired?
F.6. Approval of Acquisition of Instructional Mobile Devices, Hotspots, and Hotspot Service for Students and Staff
Summary
Hotspots: Purchase 500 @ $57 and provide service @ $13.50 per month. Units plus 12 months of service for a grand total of $109,500 (per the attached contract- not $138,000 as noted.)
Student Chromebooks: Purchase 10,150 @ $358 and 700 @ $403 for a total of $4,273,997.
Staff Pro-Books: Purchase 50 @ $1,137 for a total of $62,534
SRTA celebrates these purchases. There are identified students and staff that will benefit from the distribution of these items.
What is the plan for disbursing and recollecting these hotspots and student chromebooks? With a 20% damage rate, what is the process for utilizing warranties if there are problems? How is that messaged out?
What is the expectation for students who intentionally damage units?
F.7. Approval of Equipment Upgrades for Classified Personnel and Site and District Administrators
Summary
Staff Desktops: Purchase 225 @ $990 for a total of $243,988
There is no clear audience specified for this training nor metrics to evaluate this contract.
F.9. Approval of Physical Education Exemption
Summary
It appears that all students beyond freshman year would qualify for this exemption. All sophomores and juniors were sent information to apply. The results are as follows:

There is no data provided on the demographic breakdown of those that responded, but the rates of participation can be calculated.
The Two Year Exemption requires meeting several fitness standards during freshman year. The Permanent Exemption just requires that a student be in the 10th or 11th grade.
This exemption has the potential to severely impact our Physical Education program. Will PE remain a freshman year requirement?
Are there any other plans to reach out to qualifying students beyond the initial notification? The disparity in responses suggest this may not have been equitable notification for all families.
F.10. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Associate Superintendent / Chief Business Official of Business Services
Summary
The Board will consider approval of the proposed job description for Associate Superintendent / Chief Business Official (CBO) of Business Services.
The proposed salary for this diminished position has just been reduced by $2,234. This Associate Superintendent salary is $30,000 more than the other Assistant Superintendent positions.
F.11. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services
Summary
The job description appears unchanged except for a reduction from Associate Superintendent to Assistant Superintendent and an additional $1,706 in salary, bringing it to $172,706.
When the Deputy Superintendent position was first flown, it was a consolidation of two positions, and was promised to reduce expenses. Duties to oversee transportation, warehousing, facilities, food service, and maintenance remain. When duties for overseeing district technology were removed, there was no change in remuneration to the Deputy Superintendent. Now that this job is to be flown as a separate position it is clear that the end result is an increase to expenses by this salary.
F.13. Approval of Proposed Job Description for Communications Coordinator / Public Information Officer
Summary
Serves as a member of the Cabinet. Current posted salary starts at $105,565.
The elevation of this position to the cabinet level raises hope that district communication can continue to improve.
F.14. Approval of Resolution No. 2021/22-59 Designating Positions for Representative and Alternate to the Redwood Empire Schools’ Insurance Group’s Joint Powers Board

C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items
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. Please commit to watching 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
SRTA appreciates the switch to hybrid. It is hoped that the auditorium will be open to the public prior to a prompt 6 pm start of the meeting.
E.2. (Action) Resolution for May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
This year the AAPI Heritage Month theme is “Advancing Leaders Through Collaboration.”
E.3. (Action) Resolution for Classified School Employee Week
SRCS and the SRCS Board of Education as we acknowledge and thank our classified employees for their hard work and dedication to ensure our schools’ success.
SRTA knows that our schools can’t function without our CSEA siblings. Members are encouraged to express their appreciation to the CSEA staff at their site.
Real appreciation would be shown not by a resolution, but by addressing the significant financial hardship working for our district as a CSEA employee entails. Our inability to attract and maintain staff is hindering our ability to function. Failing to retain employees creates additional strain with the evaporation of institutional knowledge. This year SRCS has hired 89 classified employees while 60 have resigned and 20 have retired. Nine additional employees isn’t significantly impacting systemic need when SRCS currently has 95 postings for 108 positions.
E.4. (Action) Resolution Celebrating SRCS Child Nutrition Services Professionals for the Week of May 2-6, 2022
SRTA recognizes the incredible lift endured by those with nutrition services as SRCS shifted to providing lunch for all students free of charge. The change in quantity is remarkable. Thank you to those who keep this program functioning.
E5. (Action) Resolution for Teacher Appreciation Week
Teaching can be a tough, complex job. As with any profession, there are days that are hard to get through. But for those who have committed their lives to the profession, they are joining the ranks of some of the brightest minds – and most important people – that students will come across in their lives.
SRTA acknowledges that this year has been identified by many as the hardest year ever. Thirty members have reduced their work day this year. Sixty have resigned, and to date there are twenty-five retirements.
True appreciation must include systemic changes to make teaching a doable job. While alluring for an immediate bandaid, lowering the bar for hiring is not a reasonable fix if we desire highly qualified individuals teaching students.
SRTA appreciates our substitutes! SRCS has been asked to provide a system for compensating staff members who are providing support for substitutes who have taken on long term positions by providing lesson plans, coaching and grading.
E7. (Discussion) A-G Completion Improvement Grant Plan
Summary
The Board will receive an update on the A-G Completion Improvement Grant Plan.
The board focused on Math the last time this item was agendized. SRTA members have been asked for input and a few themes emerged.
Create a Master Plan for Math in our District
Include a vertical plan for math, vertical alignment and communication.
Make grades in middle school count! Students can not succeed in high school without foundational skills from the middle school curriculum.
Ensure students memorize basic facts and use this information for problem solving so that it does not become a time consuming task leading to frustration and discouragement
Offer options for students who need more support or more time to understand concepts.
Utilize a curriculum that is not language intensive like CPM is.
Revisit Math Requirements and Courses
Not offering courses below Math 1 at High School fails to support students who enter high school unprepared
Requiring Math 1 and two years beyond is far above the state requirement of two years of math, including Algebra 1. The implementation of the waiver program to lower this requirement to Math one and 1 year beyond is still impacting our graduation rates.
Provide PD to thoroughly explore grading options and their implications
Implement a Support System
When a student misses out on Math instruction SRCS should implement a systemic response to catch them up
Smaller class sizes and no combos at elementary
Provide free in Person tutoring
Aides and volunteers in classrooms
Math Intervention Teachers
Provide single subject Math Teachers for fifth and sixth grade
EdJoin shows a total of 141 current postings for 267 job vacancies for SRCS, 12 more than last meeting. There are 70 certificated openings (36 more than last meeting), and 4+ certificated management openings, one is a Secondary AP Pool. There are 108 current classified openings (74 less than last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.)
SRTA celebrates the approval of two additional people choosing to work less next year. Being flexible and supportive of staff needs allows retaining highly qualified staff for the long term while simultaneously building a more committed workforce.
Welcome aboard VictoriaJuarez (EAHS). We hope you have a long and rewarding career with SRCS.
SRTA congratulates the following members who have noticed their future retirements: BarbaraO’Donnell (BHES), Kimberly Romero (HSMS) and Lori Chamberlin (EAHS.) Thank you for your combined 50 years of service to our students!
SRTA sends our fond farewells to those noticing their resignations: Sara Pringle (SRHS), Brenda Johnson (RVMS), DianaHines (HLES) and Bibiana Anzures (CCLA.) You take 10 combined years of service and experience with you. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
There are three classified new hires. This month there is notice of three resignations and one retirement. They leave taking 21 years of institutional knowledge with them. We are grateful for their service to our students and staff.
There is one administrator resignation and one retirement, after a combined 12 years of service. As we lose Karolina Gage (CCLA Principal), Beth Berk (Communication Coordinator) and Sydney Smith (SAF Director) SRTA sends our appreciation for your dedication to our students.
Secondary students made class selections in January. This early choice timeline was implemented a few years ago with the promise that it would allow the early posting of positions. Postings for next year have not yet been made available for in district transfers which are required before they are opened to outside candidates. The longer the wait, the more limited the field.
F.5. Approval of Future Educators Support (FED) and Elevo Contracts for Migrant Education Summer School
Summary

SRTA alienta a los miembros a asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directiva al año. Enviamos una invitación especial al personal de Comstock, Piner y SRHS para asistir a esta reunión en honor a los suyos.
C.7. Comentarios públicos sobre puntos que no están en la agenda
Se invita a los miembros de SRTA a levantar la mano y hacer comentarios solo de voz durante la reunión. Observe el límite de tiempo estándar de tres minutos (y esté preparado para un cambio de último minuto a un límite de dos minutos). En este momento, solo se tratan los temas que no están en la agenda.
Se solicitan comentarios en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva para traer 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. Comprométase a ver al menos una reunión de la Mesa Directiva este año y hablar sobre un tema de la agenda que lo afecte a usted oa sus estudiantes. Los oradores son más impactantes cuando hablan bien, se componen y son razonables.
E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN/ACCIÓN
E.1. (Acción) Reuniones públicas de la Mesa Directiva a través de teleconferencia según AB 361 SRTA aprecia el cambio a híbrido. Se espera que el auditorio esté abierto al público antes del inicio puntual de la reunión a las 6 pm.
SRTA aprecia que esta reunión será híbrida, lo que permitirá la asistencia en persona. No hay pautas publicadas sobre las medidas que se están adoptando para reunirse en SRHS. Se recomienda a aquellos que deseen asistir en persona que lleguen temprano para asegurar la admisión.
E.2. (Acción) Resolución para mayo como Mes de la Herencia de los Asiáticos Estadounidenses y de las Islas del Pacífico este año, el tema del Mes de la Herencia de AAPI es “Promoviendo líderes a través de la colaboración”.
E.3. (Acción) Resolución para la Semana del Empleado Escolar Clasificado
SRCS y la Mesa Directiva de Educación de SRCS al reconocer y agradecer a nuestros empleados clasificados por su arduo trabajo y dedicación para garantizar el éxito de nuestras escuelas.
SRTA sabe que nuestras escuelas no pueden funcionar sin nuestros hermanos CSEA. Se alienta a los miembros a expresar su agradecimiento al personal de CSEA en su sitio.
El aprecio real se mostraría no mediante una resolución, sino abordando las dificultades financieras significativas que implica trabajar para nuestro distrito como empleado de CSEA. Nuestra incapacidad para atraer y mantener al personal está obstaculizando nuestra capacidad para funcionar. No retener a los empleados crea una tensión adicional con la evaporación del conocimiento institucional. Este año SRCS ha contratado a 89 empleados clasificados mientras que 60 han renunciado y 20 se han jubilado. Nueve empleados adicionales no tienen un impacto significativo en la necesidad sistémica cuando SRCS actualmente tiene 95 publicaciones para 108 puestos.
E.4. (Acción) Resolución Celebrando a los profesionales de servicios de nutrición infantil de SRCS para la semana del 2 al 6 de mayo de 2022
SRTA reconoce el increíble impulso que apoyaron aquellos con servicios de nutrición cuando SRCS pasó a proporcionar almuerzos para todos los estudiantes de forma gratuita. El cambio en la cantidad es notable. Gracias a los que mantienen este programa funcionando.
E5. (Acción) Resolución para la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros
La enseñanza puede ser un trabajo duro y complejo. Como con cualquier profesión, hay días que son difíciles de superar. Pero para aquellos que han comprometido sus vidas con la profesión, se unen a las filas de algunas de las mentes más brillantes, y las personas más importantes, que los estudiantes encontrarán en sus vidas.
SRTA reconoce que este año ha sido identificado por muchos como el año más difícil de la historia. Treinta miembros han reducido su jornada laboral este año. Sesenta han renunciado, ya la fecha hay veinticinco jubilaciones.
La verdadera apreciación debe incluir cambios sistémicos para hacer de la enseñanza un trabajo factible. Si bien es atractivo para una curita inmediata, bajar el nivel de contratación no es una solución razonable si deseamos que personas altamente calificadas enseñen a los estudiantes.
¡SRTA aprecia a nuestros sustitutos! Se le ha pedido a SRCS que proporcione un sistema para compensar a los miembros del personal que brindan apoyo a los sustitutos que han asumido puestos a largo plazo al proporcionar planes de lecciones, capacitación y calificación.
E7. (Discusión) Plan de subvención de mejora de finalización A-G
Resumen
La Mesa Directiva recibirá una actualización sobre el Plan de subvención para la mejora de la terminación A-G.
La Mesa Directiva se centró en Matemáticas la última vez que se programó este elemento. A los miembros de SRTA se les pidió su opinión y surgieron algunos temas.
Crear un Plan Maestro de Matemáticas en nuestro Distrito
Incluya un plan vertical para matemáticas, alineación vertical y comunicación.
¡Haga que las calificaciones en la escuela intermedia cuenten! Los estudiantes no pueden tener éxito en la escuela secundaria sin las habilidades fundamentales del plan de estudios de la escuela intermedia.
Asegúrese de que los estudiantes memoricen hechos básicos y usen esta información para resolver problemas de modo que no se convierta en una tarea que consuma mucho tiempo y que los lleve a la frustración y el desánimo.
Ofrezca opciones para los estudiantes que necesitan más apoyo o más tiempo para comprender los conceptos.
Utilice un plan de estudios que no sea intensivo en lenguaje como lo es CPM.
Revisar los requisitos y cursos de matemáticas
No ofrecer cursos por debajo de Matemáticas 1 en la escuela secundaria no apoya a los estudiantes que ingresan a la escuela secundaria sin preparación
Requerir Matemáticas 1 y dos años más está muy por encima del requisito estatal de dos años de matemáticas, incluyendo Álgebra 1. La implementación del programa de exención para reducir este requisito a Matemáticas uno y 1 año más todavía está afectando nuestras tasas de graduación.
Proporcionar PD para explorar a fondo las opciones de calificación y sus implicaciones
Implementar un Sistema de Apoyo
Cuando un estudiante pierde la instrucción de Matemáticas, SRCS debe implementar una respuesta sistémica para ponerse al día.
Clases más pequeñas y sin combos en la primaria.
Proporcionar tutoría gratuita en persona
Ayudantes y voluntarios en las aulas
Profesores de Intervención de Matemáticas
Proporcionar maestros de matemáticas de una sola materia para quinto y sexto grado
EdJoin muestra un total de 141 publicaciones actuales para 267 puestos vacantes para SRCS, 12 más que la última reunión. Hay 70 vacantes certificadas (36 más que la última reunión) y más de 4 vacantes certificadas de gestión, una es un grupo AP secundario. Hay 108 vacantes clasificadas actuales (74 menos que en la última reunión) y ningún puesto gerencial clasificado (igual que en la última reunión).
SRTA celebra la aprobación de dos personas adicionales que eligen trabajar menos el próximo año. Ser flexible y brindar apoyo a las necesidades del personal permite retener personal altamente calificado a largo plazo y, al mismo tiempo, crear una fuerza laboral más comprometida.
Bienvenida Victoria Juárez (EAHS). Esperamos que tenga una carrera larga y gratificante con SRCS.
SRTA felicita a los siguientes miembros que han notado sus futuras jubilaciones: Barbara O’Donnell (BHES), Kimberly Romero (HSMS) y Lori Chamberlin (EAHS). ¡Gracias por sus 50 años combinados de servicio a nuestros estudiantes!
SRTA envía nuestras cariñosas despedidas a quienes notan sus renuncias: Sara Pringle (SRHS), Brenda Johnson (RVMS), Diana Hines (HLES) y Bibiana Anzures (CCLA). Se llevan 10 años combinados de servicio y experiencia contigo. Le deseamos todo lo mejor en sus futuros emprendimientos.
Hay tres nuevas contrataciones de personal clasificado. Este mes hay aviso de tres renuncias y una jubilación. Se llevan 21 años de conocimiento institucional. Estamos agradecidos por su servicio a nuestros estudiantes y personal.
Hay una renuncia de administrador y una jubilación, después de un total de 12 años de servicio. A medida que perdemos a Karolina Gage (directora de CCLA), Beth Berk (coordinadora de comunicación) y Sydney Smith (directora de SAF), la SRTA envía nuestro agradecimiento por su dedicación a nuestros estudiantes.
Los estudiantes de secundaria hicieron selecciones de clase en enero. Este cronograma de elección anticipada se implementó hace algunos años con la promesa de que permitiría la publicación anticipada de puestos. Los puestos para el próximo año aún no están disponibles para las transferencias dentro del distrito que se requieren antes de que se abran a candidatos externos. Cuanto más larga sea la espera, más limitado será el campo.
F.5. Aprobación de Future Educators Support (FED) y Contratos Elevo para La Escuela de Verano de Migrant Education
El primer contrato se enfoca en cuatro proveedores de Aprendizaje socioemocional y Educación y actividad física proporcionados en coordinación con un TOSA de educación migrante. ($26,800)
El segundo contrato proporciona un maestro para abordar ELA y ELD para 73 estudiantes de K-5. ($29,200)

C.9. Public Comment on Non Agenda Items
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. Please commit to watching 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
The Board will consider the continuance of conducting public meetings virtually, including the use of a hybrid model.
SRTA appreciates that this meeting will be hybrid, allowing for in person attendance. There are no posted guidelines around measures being adopted for meeting at SRHS. Those wishing to attend in person are encouraged to arrive early to ensure admittance.
E.2. (Action) National Sexual Assault Awareness Month Resolution
SRTA appreciates this resolution providing transparency to this issue while encouraging all faculty, staff, and students to increase their knowledge of the many types of sexual violence and promote an environment of mutual respect and dignity in and outside of their campuses. Unfortunately, unless this resolution is supported with an implementation plan, action plan, and metric review, this does not actually increase knowledge or impact environments to impact the level of Sexual Assault Awareness on our campuses.
E.3. (Action) Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators
Summary
SRCS is submitting these declarations to allow for the hiring of Limited Term Assignments and Emergency or Intern Permits. The need is stated as 45 for elementary (the same as last year) and 80 for secondary (25 more than last year.)
Our educational system is at a breaking point. The stress of this year is causing angst among all members of our community. This expected increase in need acknowledges the growing issue of an inability to attract and retain highly qualified teachers. The churn in administrators is even worse. Shrinking numbers of senior staff can no longer pick up all the pieces and continue to carry the load. While not as burdensome as having open positions, adding non-highly qualified teachers carries additional burdens of providing appropriate support. The impact of trauma on our system must be acknowledged and addressed.
E.4. (Discussion) YouthTruth Update
Summary
In January 2021, Santa Rosa City Schools administered surveys across all sites, including students, staff, and families. The effort resulted in hearing from 14,950 stakeholders on topics that include academic challenge, school culture, and emotional and mental health. This is provided through a $30,700 contract.
This slide deck presents data from the Youth truth Survey. Unfortunately, the detailed data is only provided for the elementary level responses.
Cross Cutting Themes:
Students perceive a decline in relationships and culture, across all levels.
Families perceive a decline in relationships, across all levels.
Staff perceive a decline in engagement, relationships and culture as well as identifying as most currently impacted by covid, across all levels.
12 of the 15 indicators that have dropped 20 percentage points or more are from middle school responses.
While it is helpful to be able to compare data across sites, within the county, state and nation, it can be confusing to discern what the intention of the answers were to particular questions. Perhaps revisiting some of these questions with stakeholder groups (student, parent and staff) could shed helpful light on appropriate responses to this data.
SRTA is resolute that the burden of change requires a thoughtful and fully funded action plan specifying implementation roll out and expected impact on metrics. This can not be solved by staff just ‘working harder.’
This platform is hailed as being customizable. It could be used to provide annual benchmarks required for site SPSA reviews and the high school WASC process. Unfortunately it is currently under utilized. The ability to individualize for sites has not been activated.
E5. (Discussion) LCAP Timeline
Summary
The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) outlines the actions and services being carried out throughout the year to help reach district goals for students. The LCAP data collection process will conclude on May 10th. After all LCAP stakeholder meetings, comments will be reviewed. It is anticipated that a draft LCAP document with updates may be ready for community presentation in late May to early June.The LCAP is supported with $19 million dollars.
Stakeholder Meetings:
3/31/22 District Advisory Committee @ 6 pm *COMPLETED*
SRTA appreciates the response of SRCS to create this model to collect feedback on the LCAP. The district LCAP can only benefit from a more transparent and inclusive process of review.
All stakeholders are encouraged to take the survey and attend the Zoom sessions to provide feedback and input.
EdJoin shows a total of 131 current postings for 255 job vacancies for SRCS, 18 more than last meeting. 16 of these are coaching positions. There are 70 certificated openings (13 more than last meeting), and 3 certificated management openings (4 less than last meeting.) There are 182 current classified openings (9 more than last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.)
82 of these open positions have been posted on EdJoin for longer than three months. Are we utilizing other platforms to advertise?
SRTA celebrates the approval of an unpaid leave of absence for next year. Being flexible and supportive of staff needs allows us to retain highly qualified staff for the long term while simultaneously building a more committed workforce.
Welcome aboard VictoriaJuarez (EAHS). We hope you have a long and rewarding career with SRCS.
SRTA congratulates the following members who have noticed their future retirements: VictoriaMcFarlin (ABES), Jennifer Sills(SRCAS), Darlene Sweetland (SPSV), Lori Chamberlin (EAHS.) Thank you for your combined 64 years of service to our students!
SRTA sends our fond farewells to those noticing their resignations: Alice Jobson (SRCAS), Janie Kennedy (EAHS), Kayle Manuta (SRHS), Neil Sheikh (RHS) and Ursula Ahajanian (RHS.) You take 12 combined years of service and experience with you. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
There are three classified new hires. This month there is notice of five resignations and one retirement. They leave taking 58 years of institutional knowledge with them. We are grateful for their service to our students and staff.
There are two administrator resignations, after a combined 6 years of service, and one more principal is hired for summer school.
Secondary students made class selections in January. This early choice program was implemented a few years ago with the promise that it would allow the early posting of positions. Posting in March, as promised, would allow for the broadest spectrum of candidates. Positions post for in district transfers before they are opened to outside candidates. The longer the wait, the more limited the field.

North Bay Trades Introduction Program (NB BCTC-NB TIP)
$0
Three Women in Construction summer camps. TradesWomen Inc. instructor to work with SRCS funded teacher. Camp content would include a discussion of pathways, apprenticeships, safety, teamwork, basic rights and responsibilities, and taking students through a project’s approval, design, resource coordination and ordering, construction and delivery process. First Aid certification included in the program.
It is exciting to see this new Woman in Construction summer camp. Can SRCS ensure that all families will receive invitations to utilize this program? Equitable access begins with robust communication to ensure all have an opportunity to participate. Recent events have taught us that ParentSquare is not sufficient on its own. Will detailed communication about each of this program go to all teachers so they can help with the recruitment process?
A contract for Corina Hui LLC was approved on Oct . 13, 2021 for $50,000 for Professional Development and design sessions for diverse stakeholders that would meet the requirements for offering robust CTE Program (s) and a K-12 dual immersion “pipeline” at EAHS with CCLA. That contract was extended on Jan 12, 2022 for an additional $50,000. This current contract appears to pay an additional $50,000 for these same services.
F.6. Approval: Side by Side Contract – YouThrive Curriculum for CCLA
Summary
A challenge this year at CCLA has been to better support at-risk youth learn to manage their social-emotional needs after coming back to school after a year and a half in distance learning. This has resulted in multiple challenging behavioral outcomes and has created an unhealthy culture and climate at the school. The YouThrive program was identified as a potential partner because of their success in working with students who have been referred by the school administration or law enforcement. $17,750
SRTA and CSEA 75 support the board’s adoption of these calendars. Many of our classified employees do not follow the instructional calendar. There is a need to make these calendars easily available by posting at each site and on the district website.
F.8. Approval of Proposed Revisions to the Certificated Psychologist, Speech-Language Pathologist, and Nurse Salary Schedule 2021-2022

SRTA alienta a los miembros a asistir al menos a una reunión de la Mesa Directiva al año. Enviamos una invitación especial al personal de LBES/LH, RVMS/ SRACS para asistir a esta reunión en honor a los suyos.
C.7. Comentarios públicos sobre puntos que no están en la agenda
Se invita a los miembros de SRTA a levantar la mano y hacer comentarios solo de voz durante la reunión. Observe el límite de tiempo estándar de tres minutos (y esté preparado para un cambio de último minuto a un límite de dos minutos). En este momento, solo se tratan los temas que no están en la agenda.
Se solicitan comentarios en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva para traer 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. Comprométase a ver al menos una reunión de la Mesa Directiva este año y hablar sobre un tema de la agenda que lo afecte a usted oa sus estudiantes. Los oradores son más impactantes cuando hablan bien, se componen y son razonables.
E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN/ACCIÓN
E.1. (Acción) Reuniones públicas de la Mesa Directiva a través de teleconferencia según AB 361
La Mesa Directiva considerará la continuación de la realización de reuniones públicas de forma virtual, incluido el uso de un modelo híbrido.
SRTA aprecia que esta reunión será híbrida, lo que permitirá la asistencia en persona. No hay pautas publicadas sobre las medidas que se están adoptando para reunirse en SRHS. Se recomienda a aquellos que deseen asistir en persona que lleguen temprano para asegurar la admisión.
E.2. (Acción) Resolución del Mes Nacional de Concientización sobre la Agresión Sexual
SRTA agradece esta resolución que brinda transparencia a este problema y al mismo tiempo alienta a todos los profesores, el personal y los estudiantes a aumentar su conocimiento sobre los muchos tipos de violencia sexual y promover un entorno de respeto mutuo y dignidad dentro y fuera de sus campus. Desafortunadamente, a menos que esta resolución esté respaldada por un plan de implementación, un plan de acción y una revisión de métricas, esto en realidad no aumenta el conocimiento ni impacta los entornos para impactar el nivel de Concientización sobre la Agresión Sexual en nuestros campus.
E.3. (Acción) Declaración de Necesidad de Educadores Completamente Calificados
Resumen
SRCS está presentando estas declaraciones para permitir la contratación de Asignaciones de Plazo Limitado y Permisos de Emergencia o Internos. La necesidad se expresa en 45 para primaria (igual que el año pasado) y 80 para secundaria (25 más que el año pasado).
Nuestro sistema educativo está en un punto de ruptura. El estrés de este año está causando angustia entre todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Este aumento esperado en la necesidad reconoce el creciente problema de la incapacidad para atraer y retener a maestros altamente calificados. La rotación de administradores es aún peor. El número de personal con experiencia cada vez es menor, ellos ya no pueden recoger todas las piezas y continuar llevando la carga. Si bien no es tan oneroso como tener vacantes, agregar maestros no altamente calificados conlleva la carga adicional de brindar el apoyo adecuado. El impacto del trauma en nuestro sistema debe ser reconocido y abordado.
E.4. (Discusión) Actualización de YouthTruth
Resumen
En enero de 2021, las Escuelas de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa administraron encuestas en todos los sitios, incluidos los estudiantes, el personal y las familias. El esfuerzo resultó en escuchar a 14,950 partes interesadas sobre temas que incluyen desafíos académicos, cultura escolar y salud emocional y mental. Esto se proporciona a través de un contrato de $30,700.
Esta plataforma de diapositivas presenta datos de la Encuesta sobre la verdad de los jóvenes. Desafortunadamente, los datos detallados solo se proporcionan para las respuestas de nivel elemental.
Temas transversales:
Los estudiantes perciben una disminución en las relaciones y la cultura, en todos los niveles.
Las familias perciben un declive en las relaciones, en todos los niveles.
El personal percibe una disminución en el compromiso, las relaciones y la cultura, además de identificarse como los más afectados actualmente por covid, en todos los niveles.
12 de los 15 indicadores que han bajado 20 puntos porcentuales o más son de las respuestas de la escuela intermedia.
Si bien es útil poder comparar datos entre sitios, dentro del condado, estado y nación, puede ser confuso discernir cuál era la intención de las respuestas a preguntas particulares. Quizás revisar algunas de estas preguntas con grupos de partes interesadas (estudiantes, padres y personal) podría arrojar luz útil sobre las respuestas apropiadas a estos datos.
SRTA está decidida a que la carga del cambio requiere un plan de acción reflexivo y totalmente financiado que especifique el despliegue de la implementación y el impacto esperado en las métricas. Esto no puede ser resuelto por el personal simplemente ‘trabajando más duro’.
Esta plataforma es aclamada por ser personalizable. Podría usarse para proporcionar puntos de referencia anuales requeridos para las revisiones del SPSA del sitio y el proceso WASC de la escuela secundaria. Desafortunadamente, actualmente está infrautilizado. No se ha activado la capacidad de individualizar para sitios.
E5. (Discusión) Cronología del LCAP
Resumen
El Plan de responsabilidad y control local (LCAP, por sus siglas en inglés) describe las acciones y los servicios que se llevan a cabo a lo largo del año para ayudar a alcanzar las metas del distrito para los estudiantes. El proceso de recopilación de datos LCAP concluirá el 10 de mayo. Después de todas las reuniones de partes interesadas LCAP, se revisarán los comentarios. Se prevé que un borrador del documento LCAP con actualizaciones pueda estar listo para su presentación a la comunidad a finales de mayo o principios de junio. El LCAP cuenta con $19 millones de dólares.
Reuniones de partes interesadas:
3/31/22 District Advisory Committee @ 6 pm *COMPLETED*
SRTA agradece la respuesta de SRCS para crear este modelo para recopilar comentarios sobre el LCAP. El LCAP del distrito sólo puede beneficiarse de un proceso de revisión más transparente e inclusivo.
Se alienta a todas las partes interesadas a realizar la encuesta y asistir a las sesiones de Zoom para brindar comentarios y aportes.

Bienvenida Victoria Juárez (EAHS). Esperamos que tenga una carrera larga y gratificante con SRCS.
SRTA felicita a los siguientes miembros que han notado sus futuras jubilaciones: Victoria McFarlin (ABES), Jennifer Sills (SRCAS), Darlene Sweetland (SPSV), Lori Chamberlin (EAHS). ¡Gracias por sus 64 años combinados de servicio a nuestros estudiantes!
SRTA envía nuestras cariñosas despedidas a quienes notan sus renuncias: Alice Jobson (SRCAS), Janie Kennedy (EAHS), Kayle Manuta (SRHS), Neil Sheikh (RHS) y Ursula Ahajanian (RHS). Se llevan 12 años combinados de servicio y experiencia. Les deseamos todo lo mejor en sus futuros emprendimientos.

Hay dos renuncias de administradores, después de 6 años combinados de servicio, y se contrata a un director más para la escuela de verano.
Los estudiantes de secundaria hicieron selecciones de clases en enero. Este programa de elección anticipada se implementó hace unos años con la promesa de que permitiría la publicación anticipada de puestos. La publicación en marzo, como se prometió, permitiría un espectro más amplio de candidatos. Puestos de trabajo para transferencias de distrito antes de que se abran a candidatos externos. Cuanto más larga sea la espera, más limitado será el campo.

North Bay Trades Introduction Program (NB BCTC-NB TIP)
$0
Tres campamentos de verano de Mujeres en la Construcción. Instructora de Trades Women Inc. para trabajar con maestra financiada por SRCS. El contenido del campamento incluiría una discusión sobre los caminos, los aprendizajes, la seguridad, el trabajo en equipo, los derechos y responsabilidades básicas, y llevaría a los estudiantes a través del proceso de aprobación, diseño, coordinación y pedido de recursos, construcción y entrega de un proyecto. Certificación de Primeros Auxilios incluida en el programa.
Es emocionante ver este nuevo campamento de verano de Women in Construction. ¿Puede SRCS garantizar que todas las familias recibirán invitaciones para utilizar este programa? El acceso equitativo comienza con una comunicación sólida para garantizar que todos tengan la oportunidad de participar. Los eventos recientes nos han enseñado que ParentSquare no es suficiente por sí solo. ¿Se enviará una comunicación detallada sobre cada uno de estos programas a todos los maestros para que puedan ayudar con el proceso de contratación?
El 1 de octubre se aprobó un contrato para Corina Hui LLC. el 13 de enero de 2021 por $50,000 para sesiones de diseño y desarrollo profesional para diversas partes interesadas que cumplirían con los requisitos para ofrecer programas sólidos de CTE y una “línea” de inmersión dual K-12 en EAHS con CCLA. Ese contrato se extendió el 12 de enero de 2022 por $50,000 adicionales. Este contrato actual parece pagar $50,000 adicionales por estos mismos servicios.
F.6. Aprobación: Contrato lado a lado – Plan de estudios YouThrive para CCLA
Resumen
Un desafío este año en CCLA ha sido apoyar mejor a los jóvenes en riesgo para que aprendan a manejar sus necesidades socioemocionales después de regresar a la escuela después de un año y medio de aprendizaje a distancia. Esto ha resultado en múltiples resultados conductuales desafiantes y ha creado una cultura y un clima poco saludable en la escuela. El programa YouThrive fue identificado como un socio potencial debido a su éxito al trabajar con estudiantes que han sido referidos por la administración escolar o la policía. $17,750
SRTA y CSEA 75 apoyan la adopción de estos calendarios por parte de la Mesa Directiva. Muchos de nuestros empleados clasificados no siguen el calendario de instrucción. Existe la necesidad de hacer que estos calendarios estén fácilmente disponibles publicándose en cada sitio y en el sitio web del distrito.

D. REPORTS
D.7. Made in Santa Rosa Foundation Report (Lisa Alexander, Executive Director)
SRTA appreciates this opportunity for an update on this SRCS Foundation.
E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS
E.1. (Action) Public Board Meetings Via Teleconference per AB 361
The Board will consider the continuance of conducting public meetings virtually, as specified in Assembly Bill (AB) 361.
The board has agreed to move to hybrid meetings. They allowed several weeks for working out the details of this transition, potentially returning to City Hall. It is expected that this item will lay out the details for returning to in person meeting with the addition of allowing virtual participation.
E.2. (Action) Resolution Designating April 2022 as School Library Month
Summary
Our libraries are central locations on our school campuses, valued and appreciated by our school communities. The work to create a Library Strategic Plan took place last year and is continuing this year. Honoring our libraries and those that work so hard to make them the special places they are is a recognition of their positive impact.
SRTA is excited to hear of a Library Strategic Plan. Is there a draft available? What is the process in developing this plan? Will there be opportunity for stakeholder input?
The heart of our libraries were gutted when in hard times our Librarians were eliminated. While honoring our Library techs, there is an enormous need for actual librarians to facilitate the many facets of a highly functioning library.
E.3. (Action) Approval of a Second Addendum Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) reached with SRCS and SRTA regarding Safe Return to School Guidelines
Summary
This MOU was ratified by the members of SRTA on March 21, 2022.
The County of Sonoma has rescinded Order C19-32, dated March 7, 2022, so there are no longer masking requirements for adults on campus. Unvaccinated or unverified unit personnel shall continue to be tested for COVID-19 at least once per week.
This MOU allows for a return to required masks should they be required again.
On February 28, 2022 the California Department Public Health issued revised guidelines for K-12 settings. These guidelines allow for local jurisdictions to consider changing indoor masking requirements from “required” to “Strongly Recommended”.
Weekly pool testing has been reduced to twice-monthly.
The agenda says there will be a future board meeting to discuss the use of the proceeds from this sale. SRTA understands from extensive earlier board meetings that the district is committed to using the proceeds to establish a program to assist employees with home ownership. Given the ongoing market conditions, having this program ready to implement upon sale would be best for employees.
EdJoin shows a total of 120 current postings for 237 job vacancies for SRCS, 15 less than last meeting. 18 of these are coaching positions. There are 57 certificated openings (7 more than last meeting), and 7 certificated management openings (7 more than last meeting.) There are 173 current classified openings (15 less than last meeting), and no classified management positions (the same as last meeting.)
SRTA celebrates the approval of 4 job shares and 2 reduced workloads for next year. SRTA now has 77 members serving as part time (0.2 FTE) AB 130 ISP teachers.
SRTA congratulates the following members who have noticed their future retirements: DavidFranzman (SRHS), Tammy Lovitt (SRHS), Roger Page (RVMS), Susan Markcity (SPSV). Thank you for your combined 42.5 years of service to our students!
SRTA sends our fond farewells to those noticing their resignations: Jennifer Cadden (SRHS), Allison Woodside (SRACS). You take 13 combined years of service and experience with you. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
There is one classified new hire. This month there is notice of five resignations. They leave taking 14 years of institutional knowledge with them.
There is one administrator resignation, after 2 months of service, and seven principals are hired for summer school programs.

SRTA agradece esta oportunidad de una actualización sobre esta Fundación SRCS.
E. PUNTOS DE DISCUSIÓN/ACCIÓN
E.1. (Acción) Reuniones públicas de la Mesa Directiva a través de teleconferencia según AB 361
La Mesa Directiva considerará la continuación de la realización de reuniones públicas virtualmente, como se especifica en el Proyecto de Ley de la Asamblea (AB) 361.
La Mesa Directiva ha acordado pasar a reuniones híbridas. Permitieron varias semanas para resolver los detalles de esta transición, posiblemente regresando al Ayuntamiento. Se espera que este elemento establezca los detalles para volver a la reunión en persona con la adición de permitir la participación virtual.
E.2. (Acción) Resolución que designa abril de 2022 como Mes de la Biblioteca Escolar
Resumen
Nuestras bibliotecas son ubicaciones centrales en los campus de nuestras escuelas, valoradas y apreciadas por nuestras comunidades escolares. El trabajo para crear un Plan Estratégico de la Biblioteca se llevó a cabo el año pasado y continúa este año. Honrar a nuestras bibliotecas ya aquellos que trabajan arduamente para convertirlas en los lugares especiales que son es un reconocimiento de su impacto positivo.
SRTA se complace en escuchar acerca de un Plan Estratégico de la Biblioteca. ¿Hay un borrador disponible? ¿Cuál es el proceso para desarrollar este plan? ¿Habrá oportunidad para el aporte de las partes interesadas?
El corazón de nuestras bibliotecas fue destruido cuando en tiempos difíciles nuestros Bibliotecarios fueron eliminados. Mientras honramos a nuestros técnicos bibliotecarios, existe una enorme necesidad de bibliotecarios reales para facilitar las muchas facetas de una biblioteca de alto funcionamiento.
E.3. (Acción) Aprobación de un Memorando de Entendimiento (MOU) del segundo apéndice alcanzado con SRCS y SRTA con respecto a las pautas de regreso seguro a la escuela
Resumen
Este MOU fue ratificado por los miembros de SRTA el 21 de marzo de 2022.
El Condado de Sonoma ha rescindido la Orden C19-32, con fecha del 7 de marzo de 2022, por lo que ya no existen requisitos de mascarillas para adultos en el campus. El personal de la unidad no vacunado o no verificado deberá continuar haciéndose la prueba de COVID-19 al menos una vez por semana.
Este MOU permite volver a las máscaras requeridas en caso de que se requieran nuevamente.
El voto de ratificación mostró un fuerte apoyo al MOU por parte de los miembros de la SRTA.
E.4. (Acción) Actualizaciones de COVID Programa de prevención (CPP) y revisiones del manual de COVID-19
Resumen
El 28 de febrero de 2022, el Departamento de Salud Pública de California emitió pautas revisadas para entornos K-12. Estas pautas permiten que las jurisdicciones locales consideren cambiar los requisitos de uso de máscaras en interiores de “obligatorio” a “muy recomendable”.
Las pruebas semanales en grupo se han reducido a dos veces al mes.
La agenda dice que habrá una futura reunión de la Mesa Directiva para discutir el uso de las ganancias de esta venta. SRTA entiende por amplias reuniones anteriores de la Mesa Directiva que el distrito está comprometido a utilizar los ingresos para establecer un programa para ayudar a los empleados con la propiedad de la vivienda. Dadas las condiciones actuales del mercado, tener este programa listo para implementarse en el momento de la venta sería lo mejor para los empleados.
EdJoin muestra un total de 120 publicaciones actuales para 237 puestos vacantes para SRCS, 15 menos que la última reunión. 18 de estos son puestos de entrenador. Hay 57 vacantes certificadas (7 más que en la última reunión) y 7 vacantes certificadas en gestión (7 más que en la última reunión). Hay 173 vacantes clasificadas actuales (15 menos que en la última reunión) y ningún puesto gerencial clasificado (lo mismo que en la última reunión). reunión.)
SRTA celebra la aprobación de 4 puestos de trabajo compartidos y 2 cargas de trabajo reducidas para el próximo año. SRTA ahora tiene 77 miembros que se desempeñan como maestros de tiempo parcial (0.2 FTE) AB 130 ISP.
SRTA felicita a los siguientes miembros que han notado sus futuras jubilaciones: David Franzman (SRHS), Tammy Lovitt (SRHS), Roger Page (RVMS), Susan Markcity (SPSV). ¡Gracias por sus 42.5 años combinados de servicio a nuestros estudiantes!
SRTA envía nuestras cariñosas despedidas a quienes notan sus renuncias: Jennifer Cadden (SRHS), Allison Woodside (SRACS). Se llevan 13 años combinados de servicio y experiencia contigo. Le deseamos todo lo mejor en sus futuros emprendimientos.
Hay una nueva contratación clasificada. Este mes hay notificación de cinco renuncias. Se llevan 14 años de conocimiento institucional.
Hay una renuncia de administrador, después de 2 meses de servicio, y siete directores son contratados para programas de escuela de verano.

The application is due April 1, 2022. A report to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction is required by December 31, 2023, detailing metrics for measuring the impact on the A-G competition rate.
This grant requires an action plan and evaluation metrics. Many of the mentioned items on this list are in the LCAP. Switching funding sources to free up resources is welcome, however it is unclear if that is the intent, or if efforts will be increased.
SRTA requests some transparency around the decision making process for utilizing these funds. Can SRCS share the data that is motivating these specific chosen actions, and explain the expected impact on metrics from them? Where can details around these action plans be found?
SRTA members can provide substantial resources for these efforts. They await an invitation to participate in an interactive and impactful way.
EdJoin shows a total of 127 current postings for 252 job vacancies for SRCS, 4 more than last meeting. 20 of these are coaching positions.

There was a contract approved on January 12th with Maxim Healthcare Staffing for Administrative Assistants for sites at $45/hour plus agency costs. When will these people be on sites to assist our Site Administrators?
F6. Approval of Superintendent’s Final Decision of Reclassifications for CSEA 75 Administrative Assistant-Middle School, Budget Technician, Middle School Technician-Health Tech, Human Resources Recruiting Technician, Library Technician II, Account Clerk III, Senior Secretary, Typist Clerk IV, Noon/Yard Duty, Child Care Assistant and Child Care Lead
Summary
CSEA employees can create an application for reclassification and then meet with a review panel. The panel recommended six of the eleven reclassification requests. The superintendent decided that ten of the job titles did not show evidence of significant new job duties that had been added to the current job descriptions, and there had not been a significant increase in responsibilities added to the positions. In short, that increased workload is not a basis for reclassification. Furthermore it is stated that reclassification decisions cannot be appealed.
There is an urgent need to improve the compensation for our CSEA 75 workforce. SRCS cannot function without these people and positions. It is hard on morale when employees go the extra mile to present their case as to why they deserve reclassification to a higher pay rate and their presentation to a panel earns a recommendation, yet the reclassifications are denied.
SRTA stands united with CSEA 75 in opposing these reclassification denials. We are in a precarious position as we can not fill many open positions. Appreciating and supporting whom we have is the first step in retaining employees. This positivity is the strongest recruitment tool available to us. Denying these reclassifications goes against these best practices.
Convening a panel and then dismissing their work does not build confidence in the process. This will naturally diminish willingness to sit on an ineffective panel.
Across the district, workload is a consideration for classification. There is one job description for Principals. However, there is an implicit understanding that the workload from elementary to high school is different, and thus the placement on the pay schedule is differentiated. The same implicit understanding and differentiation should be applied to the CSEA positions.

Los equipos de negociación de SRCS y SRTA están programados para reunirse el día después de la reunión de la Mesa Directiva para negociar un MOU actualizado sobre las condiciones de trabajo relacionadas con el cambio en los requisitos de uso de mascarillas.

De California Poets in the Classroom, el Sr. Martens enseñará a los estudiantes de Comstock a crear sus propios poemas y los ayudará a compartirlos con su clase.
El contrato de Brian R Martens parece incompleto ya que las secciones de responsabilidades y deberes están en blanco.
Hubo un contrato aprobado el 12 de enero con Maxim Healthcare Staffing para asistentes administrativos para sitios a $45/hora más costos de agencia. ¿Cuándo estarán estas personas en los sitios para ayudar a nuestros administradores del sitio?
¿Podría SRCS ampliar la sección de contratos de la agenda de la Mesa Directiva para compartir los resultados de su revisión de las métricas de contratos anteriores a medida que se renuevan?
F6. Aprobación de la decisión final del superintendente de reclasificaciones para CSEA 75 Asistente administrativo de escuela intermedia, técnico de presupuesto, técnico de escuela intermedia de tecnología de la salud, técnico de reclutamiento de recursos humanos, técnico de biblioteca II, empleado de cuentas III, secretario senior, mecanógrafo IV, servicio de mediodía/patio , asistente de cuidado infantil y líder de cuidado infantil
Resumen
Los empleados de CSEA pueden crear una solicitud de reclasificación y luego reunirse con un panel de revisión. El panel recomendó seis de las once solicitudes de reclasificación. El superintendente decidió que diez de los títulos de trabajo no mostraban evidencia de nuevos deberes de trabajo significativos que se habían agregado a las descripciones de trabajo actuales, y no había habido un aumento significativo en las responsabilidades agregadas a los puestos. En resumen, ese aumento de la carga de trabajo no es una base para la reclasificación. Además, se establece que las decisiones de reclasificación son inapelables.
Existe una necesidad urgente de mejorar la compensación de nuestra fuerza laboral CSEA 75. SRCS no puede funcionar sin estas personas y posiciones. Es difícil para la moral cuando los empleados hacen un esfuerzo adicional para presentar su caso de por qué merecen la reclasificación a una tasa de pago más alta y su presentación ante un panel obtiene una recomendación, pero las reclasificaciones son denegadas.
SRTA se une a CSEA 75 para oponerse a estas denegaciones de reclasificación. Estamos en una posición precaria ya que no podemos cubrir muchos puestos vacantes. Apreciar y apoyar a quienes tenemos es el primer paso para retener a los empleados. Esta positividad es la herramienta de reclutamiento más fuerte disponible para nosotros. Negar estas reclasificaciones va en contra de estas mejores prácticas.
Convocar un panel y luego despedir su trabajo no genera confianza en el proceso. Esto naturalmente disminuirá la voluntad de sentarse en un panel ineficaz.
En todo el distrito, la carga de trabajo es una consideración para la clasificación. Hay una descripción de trabajo para los directores. Sin embargo, existe un entendimiento implícito de que la carga de trabajo de la escuela primaria a la secundaria es diferente y, por lo tanto, la ubicación en el plan de pago es diferente. El mismo entendimiento implícito y diferenciación debe aplicarse a las posiciones de la CSEA.
