9Discussion Items
9.127:44Spring Expansion of School District January ReopeningDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board discuss the Spring Expansion. On Tuesday, January 19, Redwood City School District (RCSD) officially began its staggered reopening after the district's plan was approved by both the San Mateo County Office of Education and San Mateo County Health. The plan for the January reopening was approved following the district's successful operation of Learning Pods with partner organizations in August, expanding the number of Learning Pods in September as well as launching district-operated Learning Hubs, and the launch of a Pilot Program in November. These student campus opportunities ran safely and successfully thanks, in part, to the district's implementation of the Four Pillars (Health & Hygiene, Face Coverings, Physical Distancing, and Limiting Gatherings) as outlined in the San Mateo County Office of Education's Pandemic Recovery Framework for Schools as well as the testing and tracking and tracing system. On Monday, March 22, the district started to implement its Spring Expansion of the School District January Reopening, scheduled to be fully implemented on Thursday, April 8. The Board of Trustees first heard the district's plan during the public School Board meeting on February 24. The district's plan is aligned with Governor Newsom's most recent statement on March 1 to bring students back to school campuses. Financial Impact: None. Submission for Approval Prepared by: John R.

13.1Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - March, 2021Information
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 March 31, 2021 were 1.112%. Gross earnings for the quarter ending March 31, 2021 were 1.147%. Current average maturity of the portfolio 1.82 years with an average duration of 1.78 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.

The Redwood City School District has not received any complaints and continues to remain in compliance by submitting the required reports to the Redwood City School Board and the County Superintendent of Schools on a quarterly basis. No complaints were filed with the district during the quarter comprising the period of January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021. Financial Impact: None when the School District remains in compliance.
