12.21:12:48Presentation from Stanford University on Research and Mental Health SupportDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: In an effort to pursue new and expanded areas of partnership with local schools, Stanford University held a series of exploratory meetings with both the Redwood City Elementary District and the Sequoia Union High School Districts to discuss ways the university can support K-12 education in Redwood City. In September, Stanford reflected these joint discussions with the districts by proposing a new Clinical Collaborative and Research Support Partnership Program. This program aims to launch a three-year collaboration through which Stanford University proposes to deploy programmatic, clinical mental health capacity-building support and related research resources to help meet critical needs of Redwood City schools, educators, students, and families. This effort will focus on strategies to deepen the work of the Stanford Psychiatry Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing (CYMHW) and the Graduate School of Education's John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities (JGC) in support of Redwood City schools and community. Program leadership from both Stanford Centers looks forward to partnering with the school districts on the development of a Core Leadership Team to lead the work with the community and families to provide both mental health and research support. The two foundational components of this effort will be: Mental Health Capacity, Service and Collaborative Expansion: Extend school and community professional development and collaborative services into Redwood City schools and the surrounding community. The models, strategies and resources currently utilized by the Stanford CYMHW team with other school districts and community partners in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties will be used to expand school and community mental health delivery. Rapid Research: The engagement of a Graduate School of Education JGC research team will work to address immediate data needs and answer research questions on the tail of the COVID-19 pandemic. This will involve blending multiple data sets to deliver a rapid cycle of research/analysis that supports school improvement and innovations. Financial Impact: None at the moment.

16.1Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - October, 2020Information
Item details
Rationale: Education Code Sections 41001 and 41002 generally provide that all money received by or apportioned to a school district shall be paid into the county treasury "to be placed to the credit of the proper fund of the district". Pursuant to California Education Code Section 41015, the District may invest all or part of funds deposited in a Special Reserve Fund or any surplus monies not required for the immediate necessities of the District in any of the investments specified in California Government Code Sections 16430 or 53601. Historically, districts in San Mateo County have been depositing all of their funds to the county treasury. The County Treasurer has made investment decisions for the school districts, which is not a unique practice statewide. School district funds on deposit with the county treasury, along with funds deposited by other agencies, are placed in a County "investment pool", and profits and losses realized from these invested funds are shared among the pool participants in proportion to the amount invested. Financial Impact: Gross earnings for the month ending October 31, 2020 were 1.37%. Current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.96 years with an average duration of 1.91 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
