9.1Redwood City School District Mental Health Program and Stanford University CollaborativeInformation
Item details
Rationale: The RCSD and Stanford's John Gardner Center have a long history of impactful partnerships that have included research, collaboration, and program planning. We are continuing this effective partnership to mold and build our district mental health program. Established in October 2020 with three years of support from Stanford University , Redwood City School District, and Sequoia Union High School District launched a collaborative effort to understand and address the critical mental health needs of Redwood City students and their families. Through this collaborative, Stanford expands capacity-building research efforts from the Graduate School of Education's John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Communities (Gardner Center) and clinical and systems consultation from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences' Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing (CYMHW) to build district capacity to support student mental health and wellbeing. Through this partnership, Stanford has come alongside RCSD leadership in their efforts to strengthen a coordinated and effective system of support for mental health and wellbeing within a broader Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework for tiered support. Since the start of this collaboration in January 2021, our Stanford partners have provided meaningful support, including but not limited to: Technical assistance and clinical expertise to RCSD district leaders in the areas of (a) systemic capacity building, and (b) evidence-based, school-based mental health practices and processes, including school-wide intervention (Tier 1) strategies. Thought partnership, technical assistance, and clinical expertise/consultancies in the context of frequent meetings, shaping strategic priorities as well as supporting evidence-based practice in real-time. Supported RCSD's return to school in fall '21 by hosting a 90-minute webinar titled "Reopening School and Mental Health." Featuring faculty from Stanford Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, the webinar addressed the latest science regarding COVID-19 transmission and effective mitigation strategies, as well as both framing and resources for navigating adult and student mental health and wellbeing this fall. Attended by 250+ RCSD staff, with opportunity for Q&A. Connected RCSD to San Mateo Union High School District's (SMUHSD) Director of Wellness. Both Gardner and CYMHW have partnered with SMUHSD in the area of mental health, and were, in turn, able to connect RCSD folks with them to learn about best practices with student referral and case management systems. : pre-wrap;"> "I would like to give thanks for the support given to our district by the Stanford team, led by Kristin Geiser of the Gardner Center and Dr. Shashank Joshi, Professor of Psychiatry and Education at Stanford. We have found that the Stanford team is consistently present, helpful, organized, and supportive of our work. They encourage us, are respectful, help us feel more knowledgeable than we are, and find resources for us while guiding us through a planning and decision-making process. At all times their focus is on us, our district, and making us as strong as we can be. Every request we have made to the team has been met - for time, for resources, for presentations - and the work of the team is always of the highest quality. They have helped us feel positive and hopeful during these difficult times. And most importantly, they are helping us plan and make sense of the many initiatives that we have started recently - putting them into a framework that makes sense for us and for our different client groups (staff, students, families). Special thanks go to Shirley Mak for her tireless patience and superhuman organizational skills! I think what has really impressed us has been the cheerful willingness of each team member to listen. I sincerely appreciate the skill of this team and look forward to our continued work together." - RCSD District Leaders "I already feel relief." - RCSD District Leader "Thank you! This is an exciting partnership and we're lucky to have the support of the Stanford team!" - RCSD District Leader "Thank you for listening to the lengthy explanation of our school-based counseling work! I am very passionate about it and welcome collaboration with you and the K-12 Mental Health Collaborative team to improve the program. "- RCSD District Leader For the next two years, we plan to continue this partnership; learning from each other and developing the "whole child" supports that are needed by our students to promote their positive mental health and wellbeing.

11.1Adoption of Resolution 23, Approval of Orion Alternative School (Formerly John Gill Elementary School) Modernization and New Building Project Bid Package I Marquee Fire Protection, Change Order #1Action (Consent)
Item details
Rationale: Orion Alternative School (Formerly John Gill Elementary School) Modernization and New Building Project Bid Package I, Change Order #1 includes potential change orders (PCOs), as follows: PCO-003 – CCD #019 - Modifications to fire sprinkler system to avoid conflicts with mechanical ducts - $4,837.00 PCO-005 – RFI 244 – add 9 auxiliary drains for compliance with fire protection code - $1,985.00 PCO-006 – RFI 255 – add 1 air relief valve for compliance with fire protection code - $360.00 PCO-007.1 - RFI 276 – relocate sprinklers per changes made after fabrication - $3,302.00 PCO-009 - Extend Builder’s Risk Insurance Policy through 06/30/2022 due to unforeseen extended construction schedule - $3,853.00 This change order, if approved, will push this contract over the allowable 10% change order contingency, and we have therefore included a futility resolution to accompany this action. The futility resolution explains that it would have cost the District more money and created scheduling and coordination issues if they would have re-bid this additional scope to a new contractor rather than proceeding with the contractor that has already mobilized and is currently on site handling the construction.

13.11:08:26Selection of Revised Trustee Area Map; Adoption of Resolution 24, Adopting Revised Trustee Area Boundary Map Based on 2020 Federal Census DataAction
Item details
Rationale: Starting with the November 2018 election, the District moved from an "at-large" trustee election system to a "by-trustee area" election system. Voters now elect District trustees based on the specific area in which the voter lives. When the District made this switch it adopted a boundary map for these trustee areas that was based on the census data available at that time. The United States Census Bureau recently released data from the 2020 census. For school districts using by-trustee area elections, the release of this data triggers the need to examine, and potentially re-draw, the trustee areas based on population changes. Specifically, in accordance with Education Code, section 5019.5, the District must adjust its trustee area boundaries, if necessary, based on population changes following each decennial census, such that either or both of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the population of each area is, as nearly as may be, the same proportion of the total population of the district as the ratio that the number of governing board members elected from the area bears to the total number of members of the governing board, and (2) the population of each area is, as nearly as may be, the same proportion of the total population of the district as each of the other areas. On October 20, 2021, the Board received a presentation from its demographer, Cooperative Strategies, giving an overview of the results of the 2020 Census data, as it pertains to the District's demographics, and recommended redistricting due to variance in population between trustee areas. Cooperative Strategies also suggested several map scenarios, each with proposed revisions to trustee area boundaries, to re-establish population balance between the areas. On November 17, 2021 and December 15, 2021, the Board received further presentations from Cooperative Strategies regarding potential revisions to the trustee areas to reduce the variance in population between the areas given the 2020 Census data. At such meetings, the Board sought public input on, considered options for, and provided direction regarding the revised trustee area boundary maps being considered. Tonight, the Board will select one of the revised trustee area maps being considered, which selected map will be approved via adoption of the recommended resolution. Financial Impact: None at this time. Submission for Approval Prepared by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent §
