Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractThe Redwood City Transitional Kinder Program represents RCSD’s investment in early learning as a critical strategy for long-term student success. By anchoring instruction in developmentally appropriate, standards-aligned, play-based experiences—and by fostering joy, communication, social-emotional growth, and early academic readiness—we are laying the groundwork for thriving learners across the district. (30-minute presentation; 20-minute board discussion)
RationaleThe purpose of the Transitional Kindergarten presentation is to provide the Board with an update on the evolution, alignment, and instructional quality of RCSD’s Program as we continue to build a coherent, developmentally responsive pathway for our youngest learners. RCSD is laying the groundwork for thriving learners across the district. Cultivates learning through purposeful, play-based experiences that honor the developmental needs of young learners. Builds strong oral language and communication skills to support early literacy and social engagement. Establishes foundational classroom routines and collaborative peer skills that prepare students for a smooth transition into kindergarten and beyond. Fosters social-emotional growth, self-regulation, and self-advocacy, ensuring students develop the confidence and resilience needed for future academic success. Over the past two years, RCSD has been engaged in a comprehensive curriculum update to align with the state’s new Preschool/Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations (PTKLF). Historically, our team blended Preschool Learning Foundations with Kindergarten standards. As the state now provides dedicated PTKLF standards, RCSD has fully transitioned to integrating these standards across all instructional materials and curricular planning. Since the launch of Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) in 2022, RCSD has aligned tightly with the CDE Transitional Kindergarten Implementation Guide, focusing on: Delivering a high-quality play-based program Implementing a standards-based curriculum Designing developmentally appropriate learning environments Staffing classrooms with highly qualified teachers who understand early childhood development Additionally, with support from TK California, RCSD has strategically designed instructional resources to meet the diverse linguistic, developmental, and social-emotional needs of our TK learners. This reflects our commitment to ensuring every child enters kindergarten with a robust foundation that supports future achievement. The Redwood City Transitional Kinder Program represents RCSD’s investment in early learning as a critical strategy for long-term student success. By anchoring instruction in developmentally appropriate, standards-aligned, play-based experiences—and by fostering joy, communication, social-emotional growth, and early academic readiness—we are laying the groundwork for thriving learners across the district.

6.246:16Review the CA Dashboard Board Report for RCSDInformation
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractThe California Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of student performance across multiple measures, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Chronic Absenteeism, and subgroup outcomes. The results of the 2024-2025 school year highlight both areas of progress and areas requiring continued focus. (20-minute presentation; 20-minute board discussion)
RationaleThe California School Dashboard provides a comprehensive, multidimensional view of student achievement and school performance, moving beyond test scores to include academic performance, English Learner progress, attendance, suspension rates, and college/career readiness. Performance on state measures, using comparable statewide data, is represented by one of five colors. The performance level (color) is not included when there are fewer than 30 students in any year. This is represented using a greyed out color dial with the words 'No Performance Color'. State measures include chronic absenteeism, graduation rate, suspension rate, English learner progress, and academic performance (which includes English language arts/literacy and mathematics) and science. The California Dashboard allows the Board and District to: Monitor district progress: Review trends in student outcomes, including gains for English Learners, foster youth, and other priority groups. Support data-driven decisions: Inform resource allocation and programmatic decisions aligned with district priorities such as MTSS, bi-literacy, and targeted interventions in the LCAP. Promote equity and transparency: Disaggregated data highlight performance gaps, ensuring the Board and community understand where support is most needed. Align with state accountability: Using the Dashboard ensures consistency with state reporting requirements while providing a visual, accessible representation of progress over time. Redwood City Data from the California Dashboard indicate the following: Chronic Absenteeism **RCSD experienced an overall decline of 0.8% in the 2024-2025 school year. The Pacific Islander subgroup remained in the red for two consecutive years (2024-2025 and 2023-2024). **RCSD had three additional subgroups in red for 2024-2025: African American students, Long-Term English Learners, and Students with Disabilities. **RCSD had one school with a significant increase in Chronic Absenteeism, while six showed a significant decrease. **RCSD did not meet the LCAP goal 1 for chronic absenteeism as there was only a 0.9 decrease. Suspensions **RCSD experienced an overall 1.4% decline in suspensions during the 2024–2025 school year. **No RCSD subgroups were identified in the Red category. **Nine RCSD schools reduced their suspension rates from the 2024-2025 school year. **RCSD successfully met LCAP Goal 1 for suspensions. English Learners **RCSD maintained steady progress for English Learners with a 0.6% overall increase. **The district made notable gains for Long-Term English Learners, showing an 8.1% increase in the ELPAC. **Seven RCSD schools increased the number of students moving up at least one level on the ELPI. **The Students with Disabilities (SWD) subgroup showed strong improvement with a 9.4% increase. **RCSD is on track to meet its English Learner target for LCAP Goal 2, with a 2.9% increase in the ELPAC assessment. English Language Arts **Overall, the district increased by 11.1 points, moving closer toward standard. **Priority schools that had double-digit increases were Hoover, Garfield, Roosevelt and, McKinley and are moving closer toward standards. **Priority schools in single digits that moved closer toward standards are Taft, Clifford, and Henry Ford. **Adelante Selby and Kennedy had single-digit increases moving toward standards, and Orion had a double-digit increase. **RCSD is not currently on track to meet LCAP Goal 3 for ELA, as English Learners showed only a 3.5% increase. Mathematics **Overall, the district increased by 8.6 points, moving closer toward standard. **Priority schools that had double-digit increases were Garfield, Roosevelt, McKinley, and Henry Ford. **Priority schools in single digit increases were Taft, Hoover, and Clifford. **Adelante Selby, Kennedy, Roy Cloud, and Orion all had increases. **RCSD is not currently on track to meet LCAP Goal 3 for ELA, as English Learners showed only a 0.7% maintenance in performance. This presentation will provide the Board with actionable insights into the district’s performance, celebrate areas of growth, and identify areas for targeted improvement in the 2024–25 school year that are aligned to LCAP goals and actions.

KIPP Excelencia will be using Measure U funds to enhance quality mathematics instruction for students through dedicated instructional leadership.

This action does not fill the Business Community Representative vacancy. That seat remains open and will return to the Board once a qualified candidate applies.
RecommendationIt is the Administration’s recommendation that the Board discuss and select one of the following applicants to serve as the Taxpayer Organization Representative on the CBOC: Anthony Hanni – Taxpayer Organization Alan Hansen – Taxpayer Organization

Both applicants meet the Education Code qualifications for the required Taxpayer Organization category. Detailed application information, including occupation, educational background, employment history, civic involvement, and statements of interest, is provided in the attached application summary. Background On November 3, 2015, voters approved Measure T, authorizing the issuance of up to $193 million in General Obligation Bonds for district facility improvements.
