8.11:07Discussion on Local Indicator Measurement for the California DashboardInformation
Item details
Rationale: For the past several years, the California Dashboard has displayed the results of multiple measures that assess how local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools are meeting the needs of their students. As part of California's accountability system, the Dashboard contains reports that display performance on a set of state and local measures to assist districts in identifying strengths, challenges, and areas in need of improvement. RCSD has complied with the CDE requirement to have in place a process to measure progress toward local indicators using approved standards that support local educational agencies (LEAs) in measuring and reporting their progress. The local indicator data is not collected at the state level and therefore, is left to the LEAs to monitor progress. For each local indicator, the approved standard for progress monitoring includes: 1. Measuring LEA progress on the local indicator based on locally available information, and 2. Reporting the results to the LEA's local governing board at a regularly scheduled meeting of the local governing board and to stakeholders and the public through the Dashboard 3. Report the results on the California Dashboard For each applicable local indicator, RCSD will assign one of three performance levels: Met Not Met Not Met for Two or More Years A survey was administered in the spring of 2024 to staff and parents. The attachment shows the results of the recently administered survey. The Local Indicator attachment will be uploaded on Monday, June 24.

10.125:30Adoption of Resolution No. 12, Approval of Education Code Options for Teaching Assignments 2024-2025 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 the teachers listed have taught these subject matters for many years. An additional memo will also be presented to the Board for approval in August 2024 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.

10.327:16Adoption of Resolution No. 14, The Education Protection Account for Fiscal Year 2024-25Action
Item details
Rationale: Proposition 30, the Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012, approved by the voters on November 6, 2012, temporarily increases the state's sales tax rate for all taxpayers and the personal income tax rates for upper-income taxpayers. The revenues generated from Proposition 30 are required to be deposited in an account called the Education Protection Account (EPA). Pursuant to Article XIII, Section 36 of the California Constitution, school districts, county offices of education, and community college districts are required to determine how the money received from the EPA is spent in the school or schools within its jurisdiction, but with the following provisions: The governing board must approve the spending plan during a public meeting. EPA funds cannot be used for the salaries or benefits of administrators or any other administrative costs. Each year, the local agency must publish on its website an accounting of how much money was received from the EPA and how the funds were expended in accordance with Proposition 30. Districts are required to report annually the EPA funds received and how those funds are spent. Redwood City School District plans to use the EPA funds for the salaries and benefits of classroom teachers. Financial Impact: The calculated Education Protection Account funding for the 2024-25 fiscal year is $1,192,598.
