95:31Public Comment
Jenny and Archer (Orion students) (1min) — Two Orion students expressed concern about the proposed 3rd/4th grade combo class, asking for two dedicated third-grade classes so students aren't split and can be with more friends.
Allison Rhodes (3min) — Representing Clifford Elementary teachers, she presented a petition opposing multiple combination classrooms at Clifford, citing concerns about doubled teacher workload, lack of instructional assistant support, student achievement impacts, high IEP/504 population, and inequitable class size distribution across the district.
Andrew Chan (2min) — Parent of four Orion students argued that 3rd grade is a critical immersion year and proposed the district recruit enough students to justify two full 3rd grade classes rather than creating a 3rd/4th combo, warning that weakening the program would be hard to reverse.
Richard Palm (2min) — Parent shared how the Mandarin Immersion program has positively impacted his two daughters, including one with a history of epilepsy and an IEP, and expressed concern that a combo class would reduce the individualized attention his younger daughter needs.
Jason Madsen (3min) — Speaking on behalf of many 2nd grade MI families, he explained the proposed 3rd/4th combo structure, emphasized that 3rd grade is the last year of the 60/40 Mandarin-English split, and asked the district to reconsider and provide two full dedicated 3rd grade classes.
Ann Law (1min) — As a mother of twins in the Mandarin Immersion Program, she described being forced to choose which twin would be placed in the combo class versus a regular class, and asked the district to reconsider the proposal in fairness to all students.
Julia Redesnerda (2min) — Parent of a current 2nd grader and incoming TK student in the MI program expressed concern that the combo class proposal, combined with an already large class size cap of 31, would discourage families from staying in the program and could lead to further enrollment decline.
Heidi Glasser (1min) — A parent who has seen the MI program grow since its pilot year in 2015 shared that she previously pulled her son due to uncertainty about the program's future but committed her daughter to it, and now advocates for investing in the program's long-term sustainability to avoid parents having to make that difficult choice again.
Jasper Chen (1min) — Parent of two Orion children praised Principal Winnie's leadership in building the MI program and echoed concerns about maintaining the pipeline, urging the district to invest rather than compromise the program.

10.1Approval of Notice of Completion for Southland Industries on the District Wide Lighting and Controls Upgrades ProjectAction (Consent)
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractFiling a Notice of Completion allows the District to formally document project completion and significantly reduce the timeframe in which contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers may assert lien, stop notice, or bond claims. Once recorded, the Notice of Completion shortens statutory claim deadlines, helps expedite final payments and project closeout, and limits the District’s ongoing exposure to late or unexpected claims. This action works in conjunction with Civil Code Section 9204, which requires parties to have properly filed a preliminary notice in order to preserve payment rights, thereby providing additional protection of public funds and Measure S bond proceeds.
RecommendationIt is the Bond Program Team's recommendation that the School Board approve the Notice of Completion with Southland Industries for the District-wide LED Lighting and Controls Upgrades project.
RationaleOn November 20, 2024, the Board of Trustees approved an Energy Services Agreement with Southland Industries for the District-wide LED Lighting and Controls Upgrades project. Installation began in April 2025 and was completed across all 18 sites by February 2026, with final punchlist, inspections, and project closeout completed in April 2026. Filing the Notice of Completion formally documents project completion and initiates statutory timelines that significantly reduce the period in which contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers may file lien, stop notice, or bond claims. This action helps expedite final payments, supports timely project closeout, and protects District resources, including Measure S bond funds, in accordance with applicable Civil Code requirements.
Financial ImpactNo financial impact. There were zero cost change orders on this project. The project was funded with Measure S Bond funds.

11.233:48Approval of Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Amendment 1 to Facilities Lease with Blach Construction for the HVAC Upgrade projects, Phase 2 at Clifford School, Orion School, and Kennedy Middle SchoolAction
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractThe District is proceeding with Phase 2 HVAC upgrades at Clifford, Kennedy, and Orion schools to replace aging systems, add cooling, and improve indoor air quality. Following Board approval of the Lease-Leaseback agreement with Blach Construction on February 4, 2026, the proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) reflects a competitive open-book process and includes appropriate contingencies for cost control. Construction is scheduled for Summer 2026, with completion prior to the start of the 2026–27 school year.
RecommendationIt is the Bond Program Team's recommendation that the School Board approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Amendment 1 to Facilities Lease with Blach Construction for Phase 2 HVAC Upgrades at Clifford, Orion, and Kennedy Middle schools.
RationaleOn February 4, 2026, the Board of Trustees approved a Lease-Leaseback (LLB) Agreement with Blach Construction to initiate pre-construction services for the Summer 2026 HVAC Modernization Projects at Clifford, Orion, and Kennedy Middle schools. At that time, the Bond Program Team committed to returning in April with a proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the full scope of construction. The GMP establishes a not-to-exceed construction cost for the project. Blach Construction, in coordination with the Bond Program Team, led a transparent and competitive open-book bidding process, consistent with the requirements of the LLB delivery method. Subcontractors were pre-qualified in accordance with District policy and selected based on best-value criteria, including cost, experience with similar scopes of work, and the ability to meet the stringent summer construction timeline. The team received excellent bid coverage. The result is a GMP proposal that reflects market-aligned pricing and includes appropriate cost control measures. The Lease-Leaseback method has continued to prove beneficial for the District by: Promoting early contractor involvement in pre-construction planning Allowing for efficient procurement and construction scheduling Supporting collaboration between the builder and design team to mitigate risks before construction begins Delivering a Guaranteed Maximum Price that includes contingencies for unforeseen site conditions The proposed GMP reflects current market pricing and includes contractor contingencies to address potential unknowns during construction, providing cost certainty for the District. Construction will begin immediately following the end of the school year, with substantial completion prior to the start of the 2026–27 school year to avoid disruption to students and staff.

11.334:57Approval of the Industrial Hygienist Services Agreements for the HVAC Upgrade Projects, Phase 2Action
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractThe Bond Program Team recommends approval of an agreement with ProTech Consulting & Engineering for hazardous materials testing in support of Phase 2 HVAC upgrades at Clifford, Kennedy, and Orion schools, in the amount of $51,222.
RecommendationIt is the Bond Program Team's recommendation that the School Board approve the Industrial Hygienist Services agreements with ProTech Consulting & Engineering for the HVAC Upgrade projects, Phase 2 at Clifford, Kennedy, and Orion schools.
RationaleThis item supports the Phase 2 HVAC projects, for which the GMP with Blach Construction is also being considered on this agenda. As part of the construction process, hazardous materials testing is required to ensure compliance with the California Building Code and standards established by the Division of the State Architect (DSA). Certified Industrial Hygienists play a critical role in protecting health and safety by identifying, evaluating, and mitigating potential hazards. Their involvement helps prevent accidents, ensures regulatory compliance, and supports a safe, efficient, and cost-effective construction environment. Engaging a qualified Industrial Hygienist during construction also helps maintain project schedules and contributes to successful project delivery. The District solicited proposals from four firms and received two responses. ProTech Consulting & Engineering submitted the lowest responsive proposal and has prior experience supporting Phase 1 HVAC projects. Following testing, the District will procure environmental monitoring services as needed to support removal activities, if required.

12.42:32:01Adoption of Resolution No. 22, Approval of Education Code Options for Teaching Assignments for the 2025-2026 School YearAction
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractApproval of Resolution No. 22 authorizing the use of Education Code options to assign teachers for the 2025–2026 school year. This allows the District to maintain appropriate staffing flexibility while ensuring compliance with state requirements for teacher assignments. (5-min brief explanation)
RecommendationIt is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board adopt Resolution No. 22, Education Code Options for the following teaching assignments for the 2025–2026 school year. (This must be approved as an action item.)
RationaleEducation Code (EC) and Title 5 Regulations (T5) provide local educational agencies (LEAs) with educator assignment options that can be used when an LEA is unable to assign a certificated employee with the appropriate credential. These options, known as Local Assignment Options (LAOs), allow flexibility at the local level and are used solely at the discretion of the LEA. LAOs require the teacher serving on the LAO to give their consent for the assignment and LAOs pertaining to teachers are for general education assignments only and cannot be used for special programs such as Special Education, Career Technical Education, or English Learner Assignments. For LAOs that require governing board authorization, the placement should be approved by the governing board prior to the start of the assignment. This is because educators placed in classrooms without board approval have not begun serving based on the LAO, and are in fact misassigned. These educators will remain misassigned until the board approval is in place. Misassignments should be corrected within 30 Calendar days. As well, governing board approval is required annually. This is intended to guarantee transparency in assignments, as board agendas are public and accessible to parents and stakeholder groups. 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. California Education Code (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 attached 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 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 applies. This is a yearly approval process and most of the teachers listed have taught this subject matter for many years. The Deputy Superintendent is satisfied that each of the teachers attached below has adequate knowledge of each subject to be taught.
Financial ImpactNo financial impact on the District at this time.

As part of the application process, the RCSD must certify the number of “unhoused pupils” that would be served by the proposed project. Based on the District’s current enrollment and capacity analysis, the District has determined that there are zero (0) unhoused pupils to be served by this project. Adoption of Resolution No. 23 fulfills this required step to allow the application process to proceed.
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the Board of Trustees adopt Resolution No. 23 certifying zero (0) unhoused pupils for purposes of the Charter School Facilities Program application.
RationaleState regulations require that, prior to approval of a Charter School Facilities Program application, the governing board of the school district must certify the number of unhoused pupils that would be accommodated by the proposed project. An “unhoused pupil” is defined as a student the District cannot accommodate within its existing permanent classroom capacity under State loading standards. Based on updated enrollment projections and capacity analysis for the 2024–2025 school year, the District has determined that: There is no unmet facility capacity for general education students in grades K–8 The proposed charter school project will serve existing students already housed within the District. Adoption of this resolution is required to allow the application process to proceed with the Office of Public School Construction.
