Item details
Rationale: In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47 ( Government Code Section 7599), the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. Subsequent legislation in 2016 established the Learning Communities for School Success Program (LCSSP) Grant. The LCSSP was established for the purpose to improve outcomes for public school pupils in K–12, by reducing truancy and supporting students who are at risk of dropping out of school or are victims of crime; and to expand programs for public school pupils in K–12. In May 2022, the RCSD applied for the LCSSP Grant Cohort 6 with the plan to strengthen the Opportunity School Program in our District. The RCSD Opportunity Program offers students attending the program the opportunity to be in the program for a week or two and then return to their home school or to start at a new school site. This is a collaborative decision among the school administration, teachers, parents, and students. RCSD is looking to strengthen its opportunity school program by providing behavioral and mental health support services for our general education students who fall in the Tier-2 and Tier-3. This MOU will help to provide behavior and Mental Health support services for our students and families, as well as support our teachers through a coaching model. Contracted services will be funded through this Grant for the 2023-2024 school year. Financial Impact: This Agreement will be funded by the LCSSP Grant for the 2023-2024 School Year for the amount of $154,500 Submission for Approval Prepared by: Antonio Perez, Director of Student Services Approved by: John R.

12.12Approval of Facilities Use Agreement between Redwood City School District and KIPP Excelencia Community Prep, for the 2023-24 School YearAction
Item details
Rationale: The terms of Proposition 39 and its implementing regulations (Ed. Code, § 47614; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 5, § 11969.1 et seq.) determine the process by which a charter school requests allocation of reasonably equivalent District facilities for use by the charter school, based on the charter school's projected Average Daily Attendance (ADA) of District-resident students. Pursuant to Proposition 39 requirements, in its preliminary proposal, the District offered KIPP Excelencia Community Prep the use of space at the former Fair Oaks Elementary School, with no changes in the allocation of space for the 2023-24 school year. In its response to the District's preliminary proposal, KIPP responded to RCSD, noting some errors in the pro rata share application and requesting a multi-year agreement. RCSD corrected the errors in the pro rata share application but respectfully declined consideration of a multi-year agreement. After the final offer was accepted by KIPP , the terms of a final Facilities Use Agreement were updated and finalized. Financial Impact: Please refer to the Facilities Use Agreement.

13.11:03:21Adoption of Resolution 37, Approval of Education Code Options for Teaching Assignments 2023-2024 School YearAction
Item details
Rationale: California Education Code (EC) 44256(b) expands the authorization for the holder of a Multiple Subject or a Standard Elementary Teaching Credential to teach in a departmentalized setting below grade 9. EC 44258.2 allows the holder of a Single Subject or Standard Secondary Teaching Credential to be assigned to teach classes in grades 5 through 8 in a middle school. Each teacher on the list below has met the requirement(s) for subject matter competence and possesses the required skills and preparation to teach the proposed assignment. Their flexibility to work outside of their credential authorization allows the district to staff middle schools appropriately as the number of students at a given site fluctuates each year changing the annual site based credential requirements necessary to deliver appropriate services to students. Because the middle school master schedule needs to accommodate student needs and enrollment numbers, the need for occasional Ed Code waivers apply. This is a yearly approval process and most of these teachers listed have taught these subject matters for many years. An additional memo will also be presented to the Board for approval in August 2023 to accommodate last minute changes in scheduling, elective class finalization, or new hires who may need an Ed Code Waiver. The Deputy Superintendent is satisfied that each of the teachers on the attached list has adequate knowledge of each subject to be taught. Name Location Grade Subject Ed.
