Rationale: Garfield Community School New Buildings, Modernization & Sitework Project Bid Package B Change Order #3 includes one potential change order (PCO), as follows: PCO-012 – Replacement of offsite sewer line – $99,763.90 This change order, if approved, will push this contract over the allowable 10% change order contingency, and we have therefore included a futility resolution to accompany this action. The futility resolution explains that it would have cost the District more money and created scheduling and coordination issues if they would have re-bid this additional scope to a new contractor rather than proceeding with the contractor that has already mobilized and is currently on site handling the construction.

8.17:58Discussion of Reconvening North Star Forward CommitteeDiscussion
Allison Olford (2min) — Thanked the board and staff for addressing parent concerns, asked the committee not to merely focus on optics but to have the district take ownership of concrete goals, and recommended bringing in a paid expert in gifted education equity to guide the committee.
Matthew Schwal (2min) — Recommended using the Form 8 Cogat as a universal screener and then having qualifying students take the Form 9 as a confirmation assessment, arguing this approach aligns with the test-maker's intent and would generate useful comparative data for the North Star Forward Committee.
Detalles del punto
Rationale: In early 2020, I formally recommended the formation of the North Star Forward committee to thoroughly study the impact of North Star Academy (NSA) on other schools in our district and on our community at large. On January 15, 2020, you approved to form the committee in order to address questions that were raised during the Planning for Our Future process of fall of 2018 when the community submitted many comments, both positive and negative, about the impact of NSA on other schools in the district. The purpose of the North Star Forward committee is to minimize the sense of division between NSA and other schools in the district by addressing and recommending solutions for specific areas where NSA is having an impact on other schools’ enrollment, academic performance and school culture, and building understanding for the mission and purpose of the school. Specifically, the committee was charged to focus on the following areas: The exodus of rising third grade students from other schools. Admissions testing that leads to a sense of elitism and the social-emotional impact as a result of this process--on students who attend as well as those who do not meet the qualifications. Lack of access from students attending Bayside schools. The committee came together in February 2020 after an application process that began immediately after your approval to form it. All parents and teachers were invited to submit applications to serve, and the district received 50 applications by the January 31, 2020 deadline. The Board Sub-Committee, consisting of Trustee Cecilia Márquez, former Trustee Dennis McBride, and myself, met in early February to review the applications. As discussed during the January 15, 2020 School Board meeting, the composition of the committee includes: Parents who have students only attending K-5 or K-8 schools other than North Star Academy Parents who have students only at North Star Academy Parents who have students at more than 1 school, including North Star Academy North Star Academy alumni Teachers Principals The following members, who made much progress on the committee in 2020, have agreed to come back in 2022. In addition, Trustee Janet Lawson will step in to fill Mr. McBride’s seat, which was left vacant after his retirement in December of 2020. Parents: Maria Elena Arteaga Roy Cloud School Michele Harkov North Star Academy Ann Hynecek Adelante Selby Spanish Immersion School Colleen Lewcock North Star Academy Veronica Luna North Star Academy Jim Martin North Star Academy Gerd Stieler Roy Cloud School Anthony Weibell North Star Academy, Roosevelt School NSA Alums: Emma Chiu North Star Academy Taila Lee North Star Academy Christian Morales North Star Academy Teachers: Brian Cagle North Star Academy Sandra Covacha Henry Ford Elementary School Principals: Anna Herrera Principal, Taft Community School Katherine Rivera Principal, Orion Alternative Elementary School Sara Shackel Principal, McKinley Institute of Technology and North Star Academy Board/Superintendent John Baker Superintendent Janet Lawson Trustee Cecilia Márquez Trustee Two parents, with children at Clifford/Roy Cloud and Kennedy/NSA, have decided not to come back to the committee in 2022. A third parent, whose children attended Roosevelt, left our school district. The committee started working in early February of 2020 and met three times making much progress until March of 2020 when the work came to a halt due to COVID-19. The committee members set norms for their work, they studied the history and data of both NSA and the district as a whole, they looked into the impact of enrollment and School of Choice trends in the school district, learned about the mission and philosophy of NSA, and started on specific sub-committee work. As the committee’s work was placed on hold in March 2020 due to COVID-19, the district persevered to guide and support our students and families through new barriers that arose along with the COVID-19 Pandemic. T hrough the pandemic, the district’s commitment toward more equitable practices inspired district and site leadership, staff, parents, and students to keep equity consciousness alive during the most challenging times encountered in recent history in order to address the academic and social emotional needs of our students. This inspired the district to review and adopt its new equity and inclusiveness focused mission, vision, and values, which you approved in March of 2021. Recommended short term actions for the 2022 admission cycle only Given the board’s sense of urgency to ensure that North Star’s admission process reflects our district’s new vision, mission, and values in being equitable and inclusive for all students, I am recommending a number of short term actions for the 2022 admission cycle only to ensure that all 2nd grade students enrolled in RCSD are aware of North Star and have the opportunity to apply if interested. The Committee will make recommendations for long-term solutions applicable to 2023 and beyond when they resume their work in early 2022. In the meantime, the short-term actions I am recommending include: Administer the CogAT Form 8 screening test to all 2nd graders enrolled in RCSD during school hours. This will ensure that the parents of all students have the opportunity to learn whether their child may qualify to attend North Star even if it is not feasible for them to sign up for weekend testing. Approximately 130-150 2nd graders have been tested in the past, including RCSD students and students enrolled in non-RCSD schools. If all RCSD 2nd graders take the test, approximately 670 will be tested for the 2022 admission cycle. I am recommending testing all 2nd grade students, including those who are enrolled in other School of Choice specialized programs -- Adelante Selby, Mandarin Immersion, and Orion Alternative -- so that we have a complete data set that we can share with the committee as they analyze information and seek long term solutions to the exodus that impacts other schools at third grade. However, we need to note that parents of students at Adelante Selby, Mandarin Immersion, and Orion Alternative choose these programs with the understanding that they are making a long-term commitment to these programs rather than transfer their students at third grade . Provide the aggregate results of the 2nd grade tests to the NSA Forward Committee to provide them with additional data. The test will be administered in English and Spanish. The CogAT Screening Form consists of three of the nine subtests from the complete CogAT test, including Verbal/Picture Analogies , Number Analogies , and Figure Matrices . Each subtest includes practice questions to help students become familiar with the content and format of the subtests. These practice questions help students gain familiarity with the item formats and how to complete the different reasoning tasks. No reading is required of students in any of the subtests. Students review the pictorial questions and answer choices and click or fill in the circle under the picture that answers the question. The test is not timed, but each subtest takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. All second grade parents will be informed before the test is administered that their child will be screened along with an explanation of the purpose of the testing. Parents will have the option of opting out of the test for their child. To avoid adding work to classroom teachers, the screening test will be administered by retired teachers. The test costs $11 per student; if every RCSD 2nd grader is tested the cost will be approximately $7,300. Inform all parents whose child scored in a range that may qualify them to attend North Star. Along with information on their child’s results, provide easy-to-understand information that explains what North Star is, how it benefits students, and how to apply. Provide a weekend testing opportunity f
8.21:00:55Presentation Regarding Potential Trustee Area RevisionsDiscussion
Detalles del punto
Rationale: Starting with the November 2018 election, the District moved from an “at-large” trustee election system to a “by-trustee area” election system. Voters now elect District trustees based on the specific area in which the voter lives. When the District made this switch it adopted a boundary map for these trustee areas that was based on the census data available at that time. For school districts using by-trustee area elections, the release of the 2020 Census data triggered the need to examine, and potentially re-draw, the trustee areas based on population changes. On October 20, 2021, the Board received information from its demographer, Cooperative Strategies, giving an overview of the results of the 2020 Census data, as it pertains to the District’s demographics, and the need for the District to consider revisions to trustee area boundaries. Tonight, the Board will receive a further presentation from Cooperative Strategies regarding potential revisions to the trustee areas to reduce the variance in population between the areas given the 2020 Census data. The Board will have an opportunity to discuss these potential revisions and direct District staff regarding next steps. Financial Impact: None at the moment.

8.32:01:21First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint ProceduresDiscussion
Detalles del punto
Rationale: It is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board read and discuss Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures. This policy has been updated to reflect the relationship between the state uniform complaint procedures (UCP) and the new federal regulation (85 Fed. Reg. 30026) regarding Title IX complaints of sexual harassment. The policy also reflects new state regulations (Register 2020, No. 21) which limit the applicability of the UCP for complaints regarding special education and child nutrition programs and delete the referral of complaints of fraud to the California Department of Education (CDE). The list of programs subject to the UCP revised and reorganized to more directly reflect CDE's 2020-21 Federal Program Monitoring (FPM) instrument. The administrative regulation has been updated to provide optional language stating that the compliance officer for purposes of the UCP will be the same person designated to serve as the Title IX Coordinator for addressing complaints of sexual harassment. Section on "Notifications" reflects CDE's 2020-21 FPM instrument which requires additional content for the annual notification to students, parents/guardians, employees, and others. Regulation also updated to reflect new state regulations (Register 2020, No. 21) which (1) clarify that for complaints related to the local control and accountability plan (LCAP) the date of the alleged violation is the date when the County Superintendent of Schools approves the LCAP, (2) designate the final written decision as the "investigation report" and specifies required components for that report, (3) change the timeline for filing an appeal to CDE from 15 calendar days to 30 calendar days, (4) expand the basis upon which an appeal may be filed, (5) require the district to submit specified documents to CDE within 10 days after the district has been notified that an appeal has been filed, (6) require the district to investigate and address any allegations that CDE determines were not addressed in the district's investigation, (7) require CDE to issue a written decision regarding an appeal within 60 days of CDE's receipt of the appeal unless extended by written agreement or documentation by CDE of exceptional circumstances, and (8) authorize either party to request reconsideration by the Superintendent of Public Instruction or designee within 30 days of the appeal decision. The regulation was also updated to correct the timeline in the "Notifications" section for submitting appeals to the California Department of Education (CDE), as specified in state regulations. Section on "Investigation of Complaint" revised to clarify that state regulations regarding the consequences of a respondent's failure to cooperate in an investigation only apply when the respondent is the district. All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee. 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 §
8.42:04:17First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 4131 - Staff DevelopmentDiscussion
Detalles del punto
Rationale: It is the Administration’s recommendation that the School Board read and discuss Board Policy 4131 - Staff Development. This policy has been updated to incorporate concepts of student well-being and social-emotional development and learning as it relates to professional development, to clarify that the development of the staff development program includes creating, reviewing and amending the program, to reflect the State Board of Education's California Digital Learning Integration and Standards Guidance regarding staff development in the use of technologies, to reference new law AB130 (2021) regarding requirements for districts offering technology-based instruction pursuant to an independent study program, and to expand the list of characteristics that are included in diverse student populations as related to staff development in meeting the needs of such students. The policy was also updated to enhance staff development regarding school climate to include acceptance, civility, and positive behavioral interventions and supports, and staff development regarding student's mental and physical health to include social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practices. All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee. 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 §
8.52:05:34First Reading and Discussion of Board Policy 5144.1 - Suspension and Expulsion/Due ProcessDiscussion
Detalles del punto
Rationale: It is the Administration’s recommendation that the Board read and discuss board policy and administrative regulation 5144.1 - Suspension and Expulsion/Due Process. This policy and administrative regulation were updated to reflect new law SB 419 which prohibits districts, except for a teacher, from suspending students in grades 4-8 for disrupting school activities or willfully defying the authority of school personnel. The policy also references new law AB 982 which requires a district to provide a student who is suspended for two or more days with the homework assigned during the period of suspension. The policy and administrative regulation were also updated to reflect changes made since the policy was first adopted in 2010. All Board policies originate from the California School Boards Association. This policy has been discussed by the Policy Committee. 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 §

Justificación: La Administración recomienda que la Junta Directiva lea y analice la Política de la Junta y el Reglamento Administrativo 6164.4 - Identificación y Evaluación de Personas para Educación Especial. Esta es una política nueva para el Redwood City School District. La política fue actualizada recientemente para hacer referencia al documento del U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) titulado Return to School Roadmap: Child Find Under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, el cual reafirma la obligación de implementar plenamente el Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) durante la pandemia de COVID-19, incluyendo el requisito de cumplir con las obligaciones de identificación de niños (child find), y alienta a los distritos a reexaminar la eficacia de las prácticas existentes de identificación a la luz de las interrupciones educativas causadas por la pandemia de COVID-19. El reglamento fue actualizado para hacer referencia al documento del USDOE Return to School Roadmap: Child Find Under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, que recomienda que los distritos realicen nuevas actividades de identificación de niños en vista de las interrupciones educativas causadas por la pandemia de COVID-19, y enfatiza que los estudiantes que experimentan efectos prolongados del COVID-19 sean referidos para evaluación de educación especial si sus síntomas afectan negativamente su capacidad de participar y aprender en el currículo general. El reglamento también fue actualizado para establecer que el proceso de identificación de niños incluye la recopilación y el análisis de datos para determinar si los estudiantes están progresando adecuadamente; para incluir la obligación del distrito de garantizar que las evaluaciones de niños con presunta discapacidad no sean retrasadas ni negadas debido a la implementación de estrategias de respuesta a la intervención; para aclarar el material relacionado con las referencias para evaluaciones iniciales, los planes de evaluación y el consentimiento informado de los padres/tutores; para reflejar el plazo para determinar si el estudiante es elegible para educación especial y cuáles son sus necesidades educativas, así como el momento en que se celebra la reunión del Programa de Educación Individualizada (IEP) y se desarrolla dicho IEP; para aclarar las calificaciones del personal que administra evaluaciones y reevaluaciones; para agregar que el proceso normal de adquisición de un segundo idioma, así como las manifestaciones de dialecto y variación sociolingüística, no sean diagnosticadas como una condición discapacitante; y para aclarar el material relacionado con las Evaluaciones Educativas Independientes. El reglamento también fue actualizado para hacer referencia al caso M.M. v. Lafayette School District, una decisión del Tribunal de Apelaciones del Noveno Circuito que determinó que el distrito violó el IDEA al no proporcionar a los padres los datos de respuesta a la instrucción (RTI) de su hijo al solicitar el consentimiento informado para una evaluación inicial. Todas las políticas de la Junta provienen de la California School Boards Association. Esta política ha sido analizada por el Comité de Políticas.

El reglamento fue actualizado para hacer referencia al documento del USDOE Return to School Roadmap: Child Find Under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, el cual recomienda las mejores prácticas para mantener informados a los padres/tutores, maestros y funcionarios de escuelas privadas sobre el proceso de identificación de niños (child find); para mejorar la sección sobre consultas con representantes de escuelas privadas; y para hacer referencia al documento del USDOE Questions and Answers on Serving Children with Disabilities Placed by their Parents in Private School, que enfatiza que los distritos no pueden exigir a una escuela privada que implemente un proceso RTI antes de evaluar a niños de escuelas privadas colocados por sus padres. El reglamento también fue actualizado para agregar que la evaluación de todos los niños identificados con discapacidades en escuelas privadas colocados por sus padres se realice según lo especificado en BP/AR - Identification and Evaluation of Individuals for Special Education, incluyendo la obtención del consentimiento de los padres/tutores; que el distrito está obligado a ofrecer una educación pública gratuita y apropiada a un niño residente en el distrito que sea elegible para un IEP; y para aclarar el material relacionado con los requisitos de calificación de los maestros de escuelas privadas de educación primaria y secundaria que brindan servicios equitativos a niños de escuelas privadas colocados por sus padres.

10.22:11:46Adoption of Resolution 17, Authorizing Electronic Meetings of the Board of Trustees During a State of Emergency Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)Action
Detalles del punto
Justificación: En marzo de 2020, el Gobernador emitió una Orden Ejecutiva que suspendía disposiciones de la Ley Brown y permitía que las reuniones de la junta de gobierno se realizaran de forma telefónica o electrónica. Esta autorización había sido extendida hasta el 30 de septiembre de 2021. Recientemente, el Gobernador firmó el Assembly Bill No. 361, que modifica la Ley Brown para permitir que las reuniones telefónicas o electrónicas continúen más allá del 30 de septiembre. Al autorizar las reuniones electrónicas, AB 361 también protege los derechos del público al exigir medios electrónicos para que los miembros del público puedan observar y hacer comentarios en tiempo real. La junta de gobierno solo puede celebrar reuniones electrónicas bajo AB 361 si existe un estado de emergencia proclamado y si se recomienda o exige el distanciamiento social, o si la junta de gobierno determina que, como resultado de la emergencia, reunirse en persona representaría riesgos inminentes para la salud o la seguridad de los asistentes. El estado de emergencia declarado en marzo de 2020 sigue vigente y, aunque en este momento el distanciamiento social no es necesariamente recomendado ni exigido por las autoridades estatales o locales, es evidente que tanto las personas no vacunadas como las vacunadas siguen en riesgo de exposición o transmisión del virus. En consecuencia, la junta de gobierno puede celebrar reuniones conforme al AB 361 al determinar que, como resultado de la emergencia, reunirse en persona representaría riesgos inminentes para la salud o la seguridad de los asistentes. La resolución establecería la determinación necesaria para invocar el AB 361 y permitiría a la junta de gobierno reunirse de forma electrónica durante los próximos 30 días. Para continuar reuniéndose de forma electrónica más allá de ese plazo, la Junta deberá reafirmar que la emergencia continúa afectando directamente la capacidad de los miembros de reunirse de forma segura en persona.
