10.1Adoption of Resolution 21, Resolution of Emergency Relating to Coronavirus (COVID-19)Action
Item details
Rationale: On March 12, 2020, Governor Newsom issued an executive order directing Californians to cancel large public gatherings and to practice social distancing. On March 13, 2020, the San Mateo County Health Officer issued a School Operations Modification Order requiring all schools to dismiss students from regular attendance from March 16 through April 3, 2020 (subject to amendment) due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Throughout this public health emergency, the San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools has encouraged the San Mateo County school districts to prepare and implement plans for school closures and has circulated guidance on measures districts should take to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in their schools, ensure the continued delivery of education to their students, and generally protect the health, and welfare of their students, families, employees and communities. Pursuant to Education Code section 35161, the Board of Education (Board) of the Redwood City School District (District) has delegated to the Superintendent of the District the authority to implement and oversee those measures which, in the determination of the Board and the Superintendent, will protect the District during the COVID-19 pandemic and to spend District funds needed to execute such measures, so long as those measures are not inconsistent with the purpose of any expended funds. The adoption of Resolution 21, would grant the authority to the Superintendent to do the following: 1. The Board hereby authorizes the execution of contracts without advertising or inviting bids, and notwithstanding Section 20114, authorizes the flexibility of the Maintenance & Operations Department to respond to emergency conditions at District schools and sites as needed. Any action taken in advance of this resolution is hereby ratified and approved. 2. Delegates to the Superintendent authority to take all necessary and appropriate action, upon duly notifying the Board, to protect the District during the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, any action: A. To ensure and protect the welfare, safety, and educational well-being of all students; B. To cancel or modify any activities, programs, or courses, up to and including the temporary closure of schools and program sites, and to regulate or modify tenancies, leases, and other uses of school property by third parties; C. To protect District property; D. To make further declarations of emergency and to take emergency action as permitted by board policy and relevant law. 3. Authorizes the Superintendent to determine, upon duly notifying the Board and in accordance with relevant state and local guidance, when schools should be reopened because emergency conditions no longer exist and to take action to reopen schools. 4. Authorizes the Superintendent, upon duly notifying the Board and in the event that emergency conditions reemerge after schools have reopened, to take such further actions as may be necessary to protect student and staff health and safety, including, but not limited to, closing District schools that have been reopened, adjusting or reducing the length of the school day without further approval, or any other such action as may be necessary and prudent to protect the health and safety of District students and staff.
