6.2Measure T Ribbon Cutting: Adelante Selby Spanish Immersion SchoolInformation
Item details
Rationale: Redwood City School District (RCSD) is celebrating the completion and grand opening of the Adelante Selby Spanish Immersion School construction and modernization project. Unlike other grand opening celebrations held across the school district in person, Adelante Selby's ribbon-cutting ceremony was recorded. This video features remarks from the Adelante Selby learning community including students, which thank local voters for the improvements to their school. On November 3, 2015, local voters went to the polls and said "yes!" approving Measure T, a bond measure, for repairs and upgrades to all district schools for 21st Century learning. Measure T is helping the district modernize its schools as most RCSD sites are 50 years old and three are more than 80 years old. A Facilities Master Plan, developed during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years, helped identify several priorities to update and repair. Adelante Selby is one of the projects in the Measure T Bond Program that is modernizing and improving schools in RCSD. Financial Impact: None at this time.

9.3First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 6158 - Independent StudyDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the Board read and discuss board policy 6158 - Independent Study. This policy has been updated to reflect new law (AB 130) which requires all districts, for the 2021-22 school year, to offer independent study to meet the educational needs of students unless a waiver is obtained and to adopt policy with specified components in order to generate apportionment for independent study. The policy updates the minimum period of time permitted for independent study to be three consecutive school days, requires an evaluation to determine if the student should continue in independent study if the student fails to make satisfactory educational progress, and requires that content be aligned to grade level standards. The policy has also been updated to include the requirement for live interaction and/or synchronous instruction based on grade level, tiered reengagement strategies for students not generating attendance for a specified period of time, expeditious transition for students whose families wish to return to in-person instruction, notice to parents/guardians of specified information, the provision of a student-parent-educator conference, upon request, prior to enrollment and/or disenrollment, and the keeping of additional records including documentation of each student's participation in live interaction and synchronous instruction on each school day, as applicable. The policy has also been updated to include material formerly in the AR regarding requirements for independent study and written agreements as well as new requirements regarding the same, including that written agreements must include a detailed statement of academic and other supports that will be provided to address the needs of particular students, that the agreement may be signed electronically as specified, and that, for the 2021-22 school year, the written agreement must be signed no later than 30 days after the first day of instruction. The policy was also updated to include material formerly in the AR regarding course-based independent study and to generally align the requirements of course-based independent study with the requirements for general independent study. The Administrative Regulation was updated to reflect new law (AB 130) which includes, adding definitions for "live interaction," "student-parent-educator conference" and "synchronous instruction," the requirement for all districts for the 2021-22 school year to offer independent study to meet the educational needs of students unless the district has obtained a waiver, that independent study may be offered to students whose health would be put at risk by in-person instruction as determined by the parent/guardian, the assurance of access to Internet connectivity and devices adequate to participate in the educational program and complete assigned work, and the documentation of each student's participation in live interaction and synchronous instruction pursuant to Education Code 51747 on each school day, as applicable. Material regarding requirements for independent study, written agreements and course-based independent study moved to BP. There will be a Public Hearing of Board Policy 6158 on August 25, 2021 when the Board will do a second reading and take action to adopt the revised policy. All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee.

This policy prohibits the possession, use, or sale of drugs or alcohol by any person on district property and addresses enforcement and discipline for violations of this policy.

9.5First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 4033 - Lactation AccommodationDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the Board read and discuss board policy 4033 - Lactation Accommodation. This is a new policy for Redwood City School District. This policy has been updated to reflect new law SB 142 which mandates districts to adopt policy that addresses an employee's right to request lactation accommodation, the process by which the employee makes the request, the district's obligation to respond to the request, and the employee's right to file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner alleging any violation of the right to lactation accommodation. This policy also reflects provisions of SB 142 requiring districts to provide a lactation room or location with prescribed features, prohibiting districts from discriminating or retaliating against an employee who exercises the right to lactation accommodation, and authorizing districts with fewer than 50 employees to seek an exemption from the requirement to provide lactation accommodation if the district demonstrates that the requirement poses an undue hardship.

Financial Impact: No financial impact to the School District at this time. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Wendy Kelly, Deputy Superintendent Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent §
9.6First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 7140 - Architectural and Engineering ServicesDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the Board read and discuss board policy 7140 - Architectural and Engineering Services. This is a new policy for Redwood City School District. The policy was recently updated to clarify the district's responsibility to select a licensed architect and/or structural engineer as required by law when professional design services are used for construction or modernization of school facilities and to address the need to comply with state safety and design standards. The policy adds the general duties of the architect and/or structural engineer and the circumstances under which design specifications must be submitted to CDE and the Division of the State Architect. The administrative regulation updates the components of the selection process to more directly reflect law and adds the district's authority, if negotiations with the most qualified firm are unsuccessful, to negotiate a contract with the second most qualified firm and then the third most qualified firm. The regulation also includes the option to award a contract to a single entity for both the design and construction of a school facility in excess of $1 million ("design build" contract). All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee.

9.7First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 5141.21 - Administering Medication and Monitoring Health ConditionsDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the Board read and discuss board policy 5141.21 - Administering Medication and Monitoring Health Conditions. This policy was recently updated to reflect new law SB 233 which authorizes the board to adopt policy allowing a parent/guardian, but not school personnel, to administer medicinal cannabis in a nonsmokeable, nonvapeable form at a school site to a student who is a qualified patient. The policy explains the conflict between state and federal law and provides options for districts to authorize or not authorize administration of medicinal cannabis at a school site. For districts that choose to authorize medicinal cannabis, the policy reflects the components that are mandated to be in policy, including requirements for parents/guardians to provide a written medical recommendation for the student to be administered medicinal cannabis, sign in at the school before administering the cannabis, and remove any remaining cannabis from the school site. The administrative regulation reflects new law AB 743 which requires districts to accept a physician statement for inhaled asthma medication from a health plan operating under the laws of Mexico that is licensed in California. All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee. Financial Impact: No financial impact to the School District at this time. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Wendy Kelly, Deputy Superintendent Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent §

11.1Adoption of Resolution 1, Sufficiency of Instructional MaterialsAction
Item details
Rationale: As per Education Code 60119 (as revised by Chapter 900, Statutes of 2004) and CCR, Title 5, Section 9531(c), in order to be eligible to received instructional materials funds, the governing board of each district and county office of education is required to hold an annual public hearing to adopt a resolution stating whether each pupil in the district has sufficient textbooks or instructional materials in specified subjects consistent with the content and cycles of curriculum frameworks adopted by the state board. "Sufficient textbooks or instructional materials" means each pupil; including English language learners has a standards-aligned textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in class and to take home, which have been adopted by the State Board of Education, in the core curriculum areas of reading/language arts, mathematics, science and history-social studies; foreign language and health; and science laboratory equipment for grades 9 to 12 inclusive, as appropriate, must be available. As per Education Code 60119, the Redwood City School District certifies that there are sufficient textbooks or instructional materials for each pupil in the district in each core subject consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum framework adopted by the State Board of Education. Financial Impact: Governing boards that have met the requirements of Education Code Section 60119 and have also certified compliance with the Instructional Materials Funding Realignment Program (IMFRP) requirements regarding provision of standards-aligned instructional materials for all students (Education Code Section 60422) may spend 100% of any remaining IMFRP funds from that year's allocation for other approved purposes.

11.2Adoption of Resolution 2, Funding for Preschool Programs for 2020-21 (Amendment 01, 02, 03)Action (Consent)
Item details
Rationale: Redwood City School District offers the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) at Garfield, Hawes, Hoover, Orion, Roosevelt, Adelante-Selby Spanish Immersion, and Taft. Half-day programs are available during the school year and are closed during the summer while full-day programs are available throughout the year. The state preschool programs provide developmentally appropriate educational activities for children ages 3 years to kindergarten entry. The curriculum is focused on targeting the California Department of Education's 56 measures of kindergarten readiness as reflected in the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) assessment instrument. The half-day programs are free to families; full-day programs are available for free or for a subsidized monthly fee. Families must be certified low-income to qualify for state preschool programs; otherwise the District accepts families on a full-fee basis depending on space availability. The RCSD state preschools are generally open Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and can serve a maximum of 516 children. The original 2020-21 California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contract was in the amount of $4,587,840. This contract was signed by the Superintendent and submitted electronically to the California Department of Education on September 9, 2020. In October 2020, CDE sent an amended 2020-21 CSPP contract to stipulate program adherence to the San Mateo County Pilot Plan for Early Childhood Education (see Amendment 01). Then, in February 2021, CDE sent another amendment to the 2020-21 CSPP contract to reflect a new grand total of $4,649,690, which includes $61,850 in additional funds brought by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This second 2020-21 CSPP contract amendment also removed the requirement to comply with the San Mateo County Pilot Plan. Finally, in June 2021, CDE sent a third 2020-21 CSPP contract amendment to reflect yet another increase in program allowance worth $6,640. The increase was in the amount of the waived family fees for spring 2021, bringing the 2020-21 CSPP contract to a final grand total of $4,656,330. Due to the rapidly changing nature of CDE contractual requirements at the height of the pandemic, we seek approval for all 2020-21 CSPP Contract Amendments after the fiscal year 2020-21. Financial Impact: No financial impact to the school district. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Edna Carmona, Director, Child Development Centers Approved by: John R.

11.5Approval of Provisional Internship PermitAction
Item details
Rationale: Newcomer Teacher - Hoover Community School We are requesting a Provisional Internship Permit for Evelyn Donis, a Newcomer teacher at Hoover Elementary School. Ms. Donis has a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism/Radio-TV Journalism, & Political Science; and is planning on applying to programs to obtain her California teaching credential. Ms. Donis started working for the Redwood City School District during the 2020-2021 school year as one of our Guest Learning Hub Teachers. Ms. Donis's professionalism and passion for working with our students combined with her education makes her an ideal candidate for this hard to fill position. All teachers need to complete coursework to finish their credential programs. A diligent search has been conducted for suitable credentialed teachers or suitable qualified internship teachers to fill these positions. The Provisional Internship Permit (PIP) was created in response to the phasing out of emergency permits and became effective on July 1, 2005. It allows an employing agency to fill an immediate staffing need by hiring an individual who has not yet met the subject matter competency requirement needed to enter an internship program. The PIP is only available at the request of an employing agency. Holders of the PIP are restricted to service with the employing agency requesting the permit. The District will provide orientation, guidance and assistance to these teachers and will help them seek and enroll in subject matter training, such as workshops or seminars and site-based courses along with training in test-taking strategies to assist in meeting subject matter competence related to the permit. Public school districts must present this notice to the governing board in a public meeting. This must be an action item on the agenda and not part of the consent agenda. The PIP will be issued for one year and is renewable only once upon completion of renewal requirements. Financial Impact: None.

11.6Approval of Local Assignment Options in Areas of Special Skill and Preparation Outside of Credential AuthorizationAction
Item details
Rationale: Ed Code 44258.7 (c & d) allows a credentialed teacher with special skills and preparation outside his or her credential authorization to be assigned with his or her consent to teach an elective provided the assignment is approved by a District Committee on Assignments. Ed Code 44258.3. (a) The governing board of a school district may assign the holder of a credential, other than an emergency permit, to teach any subjects in departmentalized classes in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, provided that the governing board verifies, prior to making the assignment, that the teacher has adequate knowledge of each subject to be taught and the teacher consents to that assignment. The Committee on Assignments met on July 27, 2021 and reviewed course description proposals provided by teachers and/or Principals for each assignment. The Committee is satisfied that each teacher on the attached list has consented to teach the proposed elective assignment and also that each teacher has met the requirement(s) for subject matter competence to teach the proposed elective assignment after an analysis of the background of Teacher Candidate and review of years of experience in a specialized area.

11.7Approval of the 2021-22 Consolidated Application for Federal Funding ProgramsAction
Item details
Rationale: The Consolidated Application (ConApp) is used by the California Department of Education (CDE) to distribute categorical funds from various state and federal programs to county offices, school districts, and direct-funded charter schools throughout California. Annually, in June, each local educational agency (LEA) submits the spring release of the application to document participation in these programs and provide assurances that the district will comply with the legal requirements of each program detailing how the district plans to expend the funds. Due to the pandemic, the online Consolidated Application was certified before the deadline of July 22, 2021. Program entitlements are determined by formulas contained in the laws that created the programs. The district ensures these funds are used to supplement the core curriculum and not supplant local funds as per legal requirements. The winter release of the application is submitted in January of each year and contains the district entitlements for each funded program. Out of each state and federal program entitlement, districts allocate funds for indirect costs of administration, for programs operated by the district office, and for programs operated at schools. As part of the ConApp process RCSD Board approved the 2021-2022 LCAP and the LCAP Federal Addendum on June 23, 2021. The online Consolidated Application was certified before the deadline of July 22, 2021. Each school site also completed a board-approved Site Plan for Student Achievement that reflects the allocated funds from Title I, and details how the school site plans to expend the funds following the legal requirements of the programs. Categorical Aid Programs that are included in the Consolidated Application are: Title I, Part A, Basic Grant Title II, Supporting Effective Instruction Title III, Part A, Language Instruction for English Learners and Immigrant Students Title IV, Part A, Student Support and Academic Enrichment Financial Impact: The District's adopted budget includes all the funds indicated in the attached Application for Funding. The projected allocation is : $2,034,788.00. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Leslie Daniele, Director of ELD and Categorical Programs Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent §
