14.11:14:47Adoption of Resolution No. 1, Approval of Education Code Options for Teaching AssignmentsAction
Item details
Rationale: 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.

Each teacher on the list below has met the requirements(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. The Deputy Superintendent is satisfied that each of the teachers on the attached list has adequate knowledge of each subject to be taught. Ariana R.

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 receive 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 the provision of standards-aligned instructional materials for all students (Education Code Section 60422) may spend 100% of any remaining IMFRP funds from that years allocation for other approved purposes.

16.21:22:46Information on San Mateo County Investment Fund - June 2023Information
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: Month End (June-2023) 3.017% 4th Quarter (April - June) 3.073% Fiscal Year End 2022-2023 2.242% The current average maturity of the portfolio is 1.65 years with an average duration of 1.50 years. The portfolio continues to hold no derivative products.
