12Action Items
12.122:30Adoption of Resolution 18, Authorizing Electronic Meetings of the Board of Trustees During a State of Emergency Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)Action (Consent)
Item details
Rationale: In March 2020, the Governor issued an Executive Order suspending provisions of the Brown Act and allowing meetings of the governing board to be held telephonically or otherwise electronically. This authority had been extended to September 30, 2021. Recently, the Governor signed Assembly Bill No. 361 which amends the Brown Act to continue to allow telephonic or electronic meetings beyond September 30. In allowing electronic meetings, AB 361 also protects the rights of the public by requiring electronic means for members of the public to observe and provide comments in real-time. In light of the present surge in cases due to Omicron variant, and to protect the public health and safety, it is necessary to temporarily extend the flexibilities for state bodies to conduct teleconferences under AB 361 beyond January 31, 2022, to provide state bodies the option of conducting public meetings remotely to reduce the risk of in-person exposure to members of the body, staff, and members of the public. The governing board may only hold electronic meetings under AB 361 if there is a proclaimed state of emergency and either social distancing is recommended/required or the governing board determines that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. The March 2020 state of emergency is still in effect, and while social distancing is not necessarily recommended or required by state or local officials at this time, it is clear that both unvaccinated and vaccinated persons remain at risk of exposure or transmission of the virus. Accordingly, the governing board may hold meetings pursuant to AB 361 after determining that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. The resolution would make the determination necessary to invoke AB 361 and would allow the governing board to meet electronically for the next 30 days. In order to continue to meet electronically beyond that time, the Board would need to re-affirm that the emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person. Financial Impact: None at this time. Submission for Approval Prepared by: John R. Baker, Ed., Superintendent Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent Our adopted rules of Parliamentary Procedure, Robert’s Rules, provide for a consent agenda listing several items for approval of the Board by a single motion. Most of the items listed under the consent agenda have gone through Board subcommittee review and recommendation. Documentation concerning these items has been provided to all board members and the public in advance to assure an extensive and thorough review. Items may be removed from the consent agenda at the request of any board member. §
12.223:23Approval of School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSAs)Action
Item details
Rationale: State accountability initiatives require districts to write a three-year Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that is developed with stakeholders to establish goals, actions, and services for the students in their district. Aligned with the LCAP goals, each school site writes/updates yearly School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) that operationalize how each goal is met and correlated actions and services are funded at each site. RCSD 2021-24 LCAP goals are: 1. By June of 2024, every student in the RCSD will receive high-quality, grade-level instruction and appropriate social-emotional support designed to meet their needs in an inclusive and supportive environment through the implementation of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework. 2. By June of 2024, each English Learner (EL) student will progress by a minimum of one level on the ELPAC each school year, with every EL student meeting the criteria for reclassification within 5 years of enrollment in the RCSD. 3. By June of 2024, each RCSD student will make at least one year's growth in ELA and Math, for each year of enrollment in the RCSD. Students currently scoring more than 1 year below grade level in ELA and/or Math will make 1.5 years of growth each year in order to accelerate progress and close the opportunity gap. Components of the SPSA: There are some basic requirements of each site that has been designated as a Schoolwide Program for Title I funding: information on the academic achievement of students a description of the strategies designed to: provide opportunities for all students, including meeting state standards strengthening the academic program address the needs of all students, particularly those at risk of not meeting state standards For all district sites, the SPSA is used as the tool for schoolwide planning, with input and approval from the School Site Council (SSC). Metrics have been aligned with the LCAP and targets have been set by each site for improvement in the areas of suspension, chronic absenteeism, reclassification of English Learners, and achievement in reading and mathematics. Financial Impact: Site budgets. Submission for Approval Prepared by: Liz Wolfe, Assistant Superintendent, Ed Services Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent §

Increase funds by $1352 to purchase Math manipulatives, folders, or materials for students to use to enhance hands-on learning in K-5 classes. Increase funds by $20,000 for field trips for the school so each classroom can participate in two field trips in the areas of Science, Social Studies, Technology, or Art in order to provide enrichment opportunities for students. The cost of fees for entrance and the cost of buses will be covered for the students. Pay the Music for Minors fee of $11,830 so each TK- 3rd-grade class will receive 18 lessons for the school year. Pay the fee of $40,000 for College Prep Advisory to tutor 25 students in Reading or Math that are 1-2 years behind in academics. Pay for attendance incentives in the amount of $2,000 to purchase books, book bags, folders, etc. as incentives students to attend school.

14.21:10:29Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - September 2022Information
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 into 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 pool earnings for September 2022: 1.437% Gross earnings for the quarter ending September 2022: 1.374% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.39 years with an average duration of 1.32 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
