9.1Discussion of Citizens’ Initiative and District-Sponsored Parcel TaxDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: A group of engaged and dedicated Redwood City School District (RCSD) parents will present their research and recommendations on pursuing a Citizens’ Initiative Parcel Tax versus a District-Sponsored Parcel Tax. Their goal is to explore potential funding solutions to reinstate programs and services that were reduced last winter for the 2025-26 school year, following the expiration of one-time COVID-19 relief funds. We deeply appreciate the time and effort these parents have invested in researching the legal, financial, and community implications of both approaches. They recognize that securing additional funding is critical to sustaining and enhancing the educational experience for RCSD students. Their presentation will outline the key distinctions between the two options, including: Citizens’ Initiative Parcel Tax : Requires 50% + 1 voter approval Legally, the district cannot be involved in the creation, development, or implementation, including: Conducting polling Retaining legal counsel to draft the initiative Communicating the need for funding The City of Redwood City would serve as the taxing agency, not RCSD District-Sponsored Parcel Tax : Requires a two-thirds voter approval The district directs and funds the creation, development, and implementation, including: Conducting polling Retaining legal counsel to draft the measure Communicating the need for funding RCSD would continue to serve as the taxing agency The district retains the ability to renew an existing parcel tax, rather than initiating a completely new tax This discussion will provide valuable perspectives on how best to navigate RCSD’s financial challenges while remaining committed to providing high-quality education for all students. As we continue engaging with stakeholders and exploring innovative funding solutions, this presentation will serve as an important opportunity to consider community-led efforts alongside district-led initiatives. Financial Impact: None at this moment. Submission for Approval Prepared by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent Approved by: John R. Baker, Ed.D., Superintendent §

12.11:37:52First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 3280: Sale of Lease of District-Owned Real PropertyDiscussion
Item details
Rationale: It is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board read and discuss board policy 3280: Sale of Lease of District-Owned Real Property This policy has been updated to delete provision that until July 1, 2024, the Governing Board may elect not to appoint a district advisory committee for the sale or lease of surplus property that has not previously operated, or was not constructed to be operated, as an early childhood education facility or a school for elementary or secondary instruction, as this exception has expired. Additionally, the policy was updated to add that before taking any action to dispose of surplus real property, the Board is required to declare, at a regular meeting supported by written findings that, under the Surplus Land Act, the land is either surplus land or exempt surplus land. In addition, the policy was updated to reflect the new law (AB 480, 2023), which provides that the Board may decide not to make such a declaration if the district provides notice and opportunity for public comment, as specified. In addition, policy updated to reflect NEW GUIDELINES which require the Board to provide the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) a copy of the Board’s declarations and findings supporting the Board’s determination that the property is exempt surplus land at least 30 days prior to disposing of the exempt surplus land, and NEW LAW (SB 229, 2023) which provides that if the district has received notification from HCD, the Board may not pursue a final action to ratify or approve the proposed disposal of surplus land unless the Board holds an open and public meeting to review and consider the substance of the notice. The policy was also updated to delete the provision that authorized the proceeds from the sale or lease of property purchased entirely with local funds to be used for any general fund purpose, as that authorization has expired. This board policy was reviewed by the Board Policy Committee. Revisions resulted from changes from CSBA and suggestions from Redwood City School District staff. The administrative regulation is included for reference only. This regulation has been updated to reflect the new law(AB 480, 2023) which adds new definitions related to surplus property. 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 §

13.7Approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement between Redwood City School District and Amergis Healthcare Staffing for the 2024-2025 School YearAction (Consent)
Item details
Rationale: Amergis provides contracted staff for behavioral services. The initial Amergis contract, approved on August 14, 2024, was for $163,800 for behavioral services. On October 23, 2024, the contract was amended to add one behavior technician, which increased the contract by $40,000 to a total contracted amount of $203,800. This position is no longer staffed, reducing the contract amount by $23,000, resulting in a new total of $180,800. The term of this agreement is from August 14, 2024, through June 30, 2025. Financial Impact: The financial impact of this contract will decrease by $23,000, which will make the total of the agreement $180,800 funded through the unduplicated pupil fund.

13.8Approval of Purchase of Wireless Access Points and Firewall through E-Rate ProgramAction (Consent)
Item details
Rationale: To ensure the District's network infrastructure remains secure, reliable, and capable of supporting instructional technology and daily operations, an upgrade to our wireless access points and firewall is necessary. Our current equipment has reached end-of-life and no longer meets the increasing demands of classroom technology, online assessments, and overall network security. This project will provide critical infrastructure improvements in two key areas: Wireless Network Upgrade: Installation of 576 Cisco Meraki MR9176i Wi-Fi 7 access points, the latest wireless standard. Wi-Fi 7 offers faster speeds, greater capacity, and improved performance in high-density environments. These upgrades are essential to support the District's growing number of connected devices, multimedia instruction, and future digital learning initiatives, ensuring our network remains scalable and reliable for years to come. Network Security Upgrade: Replacement of the District's core firewall with a Cisco Secure Firewall 3110 Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Appliance. This modern firewall solution provides advanced threat protection, deep visibility, and high-performance security features to safeguard the District's network against evolving cybersecurity threats. Key benefits include enhanced intrusion prevention, malware defense, secure remote access for staff, and greater capacity to handle increasing network traffic. Together, these upgrades will provide a future-ready, high-performance, and secure network environment to support students, staff, and district operations. To support this infrastructure refresh, the District applied for funding through the Federal E-Rate program, which provides substantial discounts to eligible schools and libraries for internet access and network infrastructure. E-Rate Program and Category 2 funding: The Federal E-Rate program, administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), offers discounts to schools based on the percentage of students eligible for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), with higher eligibility rates receiving greater discounts. The District qualifies for an 80% E-Rate discount on eligible Category 2 projects. Category 2 E-Rate funding supports internal network infrastructure, such as wireless access points, switches, cabling, and firewalls. These funds are allocated to each district on a five-year cycle, with a fixed budget cap based on student enrollment. This project represents the final year of the current five-year E-rate funding cycle, making it the last opportunity to utilize the District's remaining Category 2 funds before the cycle resets. By taking advantage of available E-Rate funds before the end of the cycle, the District maximizes its available federal resources while minimizing the impact on local funds. Procurement Process In compliance with E-Rate procurement requirements, the District, with the support of Infinity Communications, conducted a competitive bid process utilizing the SPURR (School Project for Utility Rate Reduction) contract. Infinity ensured the bid process was properly advertised, managed, and evaluated in alignment with E-Rate rules and guidelines. The District received one responsive proposal submitted by CDW-G, which met all specifications for the project scope, timeline, and pricing. Project Scope: The project includes: Replacement of outdated wireless infrastructure across district facilities with 576 Cisco Meraki MR9176i Wi-Fi 7 access points to significantly increase network speed, reliability and capacity. Replacement of the District's core firewall with a Cisco Secure Firewall 3110 Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Appliance to protect against modern cybersecurity threats and support increasing network demands. Financial Impact: The total cost of the project is $867,619.38 (including installation cost $117,580.00) 80% ($694,095.50) will be reimbursed through the E-Rate program The District 20% share, approximately $173,523.88, will be funded through a combination of Fund 25 (Capital Facilities Fund) and Fund 01 (General Fund) This investment is designed to provide long-term value and sustainability, reduce ongoing maintenance costs, minimize downtime, and ensure that the District's network infrastructure remains secure and reliable into the future.

Rationale: Mr. Rick Hunter has applied to serve on the CBOC as an "At Large" representative. Mr. Hunter is an active Certified Public Accountant and a Redwood City community member who has participated in numerous commissions, foundations, and campaigns, including: Redwood City Planning Commission Chair and Member, 2016-2017, 2019-present Redwood City Library Foundation Board Member, 2023-present Yes on Measure S Bond Campaign for Redwood City Schools Treasurer, 2022 Redwood City Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission Vice Chair, 2013-2016 Yes on Measure T Committee for Redwood City Schools Treasurer, 2015 Measure E Parcel Tax Campaign Volunteer Coordinator, 2009 Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation Board Member, 2014-2016 Redwood City Education Foundation Treasurer and Board Member, 2009-2013 This appointment complies with all legal and district requirements, and Mr. Hunter meets the eligibility criteria outlined in the Education Code. Term: March 13, 2025 – June 30, 2026 Background: On November 3, 2015, the community approved Measure T, authorizing the issuance of General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $193 million to fund district facility improvements. Under the California Education Code, a Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) must be established to ensure bond proceeds are spent solely on permissible purposes and to provide transparency and accountability to the public. The CBOC must consist of at least nine (7) members, with the Board determining the final size of the committee. The Board of Trustees approved an increase from seven (7) to nine (9) members on June 16, 2021. Membership must include representatives from the following categories: Business Community Representative – A member active in a business organization representing the local business community. Senior Citizens’ Organization Representative – A member active in a senior citizens’ organization. Taxpayers’ Organization Representative – A member active in a bona fide taxpayers' organization. Parent/Guardian Representative – A parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district. Parent/Guardian & PTA/School Site Council Representative – A parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the school district who is also active in a parent-teacher organization (e.g., PTA or school site council). To maintain impartiality, no employee or official of the district may serve on the committee. Additionally, vendors, contractors, or consultants affiliated with the district are ineligible for appointment. On April 15, 2021, the Measure T Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee recommended increasing its size from seven (7) to nine (9) members to enhance oversight capacity. The Board of Trustees approved this increase at its meeting on June 16, 2021. On November 8, 2022, voters authorized the issuance of up to $298 million in general obligation bonds under Measure S, further supporting district facility projects. Recognizing the benefits of streamlining oversight, the Board of Trustees adopted Resolution #30 on March 8, 2023, officially appointing the existing Measure T Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee to oversee Measure S as well. This consolidation ensures efficient monitoring of both bond measures, reinforcing transparency and accountability for district expenditures.
