William Dennis (1min) — Expressed strong support for sibling priority in MI enrollment so his younger daughter can attend the same school as his son.
Deepika Germany (spouse speaking) (1min) — Advocated for an additional Mandarin Immersion TK class, stating their daughter is currently on the waitlist and an extra year in the program would be very beneficial.
Tina Chung (1min) — Advocated for additional Mandarin Immersion TK classes to benefit more students in the community, including her son who has some Mandarin background.
Ronnie Le (1min) — Advocated for expanding the Mandarin Immersion program, citing its academic rigor comparable to private immersion schools and the cognitive benefits of bilingual education for her incoming kindergartener.
Jackie Chen (2min) — Shared the emotional difficulty of the MI waitlist experience and urged the board to create two TK MI classes and three kindergarten MI classes.

Alex (last name not given) (1min) — Advocated for expanding the Mandarin Immersion program at Orion, drawing on personal experience growing up bilingual and emphasizing the broad human and community benefits of early language immersion.

Sam Christensen (0min) — Stated that the MI program is the only program his family is interested in, otherwise they will consider private school, and expressed support for expanding TK Mandarin Immersion.
Chris Terry (1min) — Raised concerns about fairness in the MI lottery, particularly the Odyssey Preschool preference (costing $1,700/month) and the TK preference potentially crowding out other kindergarten applicants, and asked for lottery reform or more classes.
Jasper Chen (1min) — Expressed gratitude for the community's transformation and urged the board to invest boldly in expanding the MI program, leveraging the new campus to build a larger, thriving community.
Anna Lee Moraz (2min) — Spoke in Spanish to advocate for more support and accessibility for low-income Latino families in the Mandarin Immersion program, including concerns about the cost of after-school programs.
Keith Simmons (1min) — Asked the board to extend sibling priority to TK, expand MI to two TK classes and three kindergarten classes, and consider expanding Adelante as well given the importance of early language acquisition.

9.146:38School Plan for Student Achievement: Adelante Selby and OrionDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: School goals are based on the district goals, established by the 2021-24 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). The purpose of the writing of a school plan (School Plan for Student Achievement: SPSA) is to coordinate all educational services at the school. The site SPSAs address how funds provided to the school through any of the sources identified will be used to improve the academic performance, behavior and social-emotional well-being of all students, with particular attention to selected student groups. The SPSA must also integrate the purposes and requirements of all state and federal categorical programs in which the school participates. The SPSA serves as the organizer for an individual school’s improvement process. The plan should be developed with a deep understanding of the root causes of student academic challenges and identify and implement research-based instructional strategies to raise the achievement of students who are not yet proficient by state standards. The School Site Council (SSC) members have carefully reviewed district priorities as stated in the LCAP, and have assessed both state and local quantitative and qualitative student achievement data to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional program. The RCSD Board approved all SPSAs at a regularly scheduled Board meeting on November 16, 2022. Tonight Adelante Selby and Orion Schools will present an overview of their SPSAs for discussion. Financial Impact: Site budgets: Adelante Selby: $1,038,003.00 Orion: $625,404.00 Submission for Approval Prepared by: Liz Wolfe, Assistant Superintendent, Ed Services Approved by: John R.

9.2First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 4154/4254/4354 - Health and Welfare BenefitsDiscussion
Item details
Recommendation: It is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board read and discuss board policy and administrative regulation 4154/4254/4354 - Health and Welfare Benefits . Rationale: This policy and regulation were updated to reflect the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, applicable to districts with 50 or more full-time employees. The policy includes information about the calculation of full-time employees for the purpose of determining the applicability of the Act and reflects requirements to provide an affordable health insurance plan which includes specified minimum coverage and pays at least 60 percent of the medical expenses covered under the plan. The policy also reflects new law SB 1306 which defines "marriage" as a personal relationship arising out of a civil contract between two persons rather than a man and a woman. The regulation adds a section on "Affordability of Health Coverage" which includes methods by which districts may determine that each employee's contribution for employee-only health coverage does not exceed 9.5 percent of their household income. 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 §
9.31:50:36First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 5113 - Absences and ExcusesDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board read and discuss board policy and administrative regulation 5113 - Absences and Excuses. This policy has been updated to reflect the requirement for a board resolution approving reasonable methods by which students can verify absences due to illness or quarantine. The regulation has been updated to reflect new law AB 1593 which provides that a student's attendance at their own naturalization ceremony constitutes an excused absence. The regulation also includes a parent notification requirement formerly in board policy, and adds notifications that a student may be excused for religious exercises or instruction and that a student's grade will not be lowered following an excused absence provided that missed schoolwork is completed within a reasonable period of time. The regulation has also been updated to reflect new law SB 14 which includes an absence for the benefit of a student's mental or behavioral health within an absence due to a student's illness, and new law AB 516 which includes an absence for a student's participation in a cultural ceremony or event as an excused absence. The regulation was also updated for clarification and alignment with the law. All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee. Resolution attached for reference only* 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 §
9.41:53:13First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 6164.2 – Guidance/Counseling ServicesDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board read and discuss board policy 6164.2 – Guidance/Counseling Services. This policy has been updated to expand the Governing Board’s philosophical statement to include student well-being, and to reflect new law AB 2508 which (1) urges districts to adopt a comprehensive educational counseling program and, for districts that provide such services, to implement a structured and coherent counseling program within a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support framework, (2) revises the definition of “educational counseling”, (3) amends the legislative intent of the responsibilities of school counselors, (4) requires educational counseling to include specified postsecondary services, and (5) revises the components that educational counseling is required and authorized to include. 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 §

13.1Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - December 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 the month ending December 2022: 2.148% Gross pool earnings for the quarter ending December 2022: 1.861% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.41 years with an average duration of 1.31 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
