Dive into construction progress photo update. And a lot of these photos were actually taken today. So starting with the 2950 Fair Oaks Ave. Site. Bathroom renovation in progress, Wiring upgrades in progress. New flooring and select classrooms and additional bathroom renovations. This is for ADA compliance and some exterior paint. Henry Ford. So this picture kind of captures everything that we're doing in front of the school. The new expanded parking lot drop off loop. New entrance to the school and administration. Zoomed in view the expanded parking stalls. The new administration entrance near completion, Different angle. And that would be the entrance to the admin. So if you were to walk through this door, you would walk into this room in the administration building. And then renovated restrooms. Henry Ford. Moving on to Kennedy modernization. Here's a classroom modernization in progress. And what one of the completed classroom modernizations look like. This is one of the science classrooms with the shower and eyewatch. Roosevelt. These are restroom renovations. New storm drain. And this is where the new lunch shelter is going to go. And then you can see the storm drain work ongoing in the top left corner and the seventh portable that was added there at the end with the darker roof. Adelante Selby's new admin since the last photo update. You can see that the structural steel and kind of the expanded entryway. Another angle and an overhead where you can see the expansion. Taft School. You can see demo and grading is in progress. This is a view of where the new two story classroom building is going to go and then the new parking lot and drop off loop. Hoover school. You see the parking lot is really coming together. Oops, sorry. New expanded parking lot. And the gym structural steel. And so this picture doesn't really do justice of the size of this gym. If you look in the top right corner you can see that those are very big RVs. You can see the little truck down there. This view kind of helps, kind of helps show how big this gym is. But if you are near Hoover, you want to drive by, it's pretty incredible. Jump to. Our project progress tracking matrix. Do you guys see this document? Okay, great. And so a reminder that the yellow shows changes since the last time we shared this tracking matrix I believe a couple months ago. And so The Adelante or 3150 Granger Way formerly Adelante site has received DSA certification. We received GSA approval. Clifford modernization plans construction agreement is actually on the agenda tonight and we plan to start construction, you know, within a couple weeks pending action on the construction agreement tonight. Fair Oaks construction is in progress and I shared some photos of that modern er, I'm sorry should say 2950 Fair Oaks Fair Oaks site, formerly Fair Oaks School. But I shared some pictures of that site modernization this evening. Garfield received DSA approval. We just opened bids yesterday and plan to bring the construction agreements for the multi prime project to the July 15th board meeting. Orion Alternative formerly John Gill we received DSA approval and construction has just began. 909 Roosevelt Avenue site formerly Horace Hawes construction has been completed and that project is now in closeout. Henry Ford construction's in progress and I shared photos of that site today tonight. Hoover as well. Construction in progress. Shared photos of that project this evening. Kennedy Admin and parking is in closeout. Kennedy modernization construction is in progress. McKinley and Northstar Construction was completed. Both of those projects are in closeout. 815 Allerton street for William Orion construction is completed and that project's in closeout. Roosevelt we received DSA approval and construction has just started. Roosevelt Asphalt completed. Roy Cloud DSA has approved the plan set and we are muscling through the legacy closeout. This is the last legacy closeout effort that's holding up plan set and we're expecting our final submission package to DSA either this week or beginning of next week at the latest. Head on to Selby Parking. So Will, for the audience, could you briefly explain what that meant? Like why, why are you having to go back and do something? Oh, you're talking the Roy Cloud legacy. Yeah. Yes. And so previously the district's been doing projects with DSA for, you know, probably 50 plus years. And when we started this program, I believe there were about 30, 35 projects that were not certified with DSA. And so we've been going back and working with DSA to provide the documentation and site investigations needed to close out those legacy projects. And so although DSA has approved our new plan set for Roy Cloud, they will not stamp it out and allow us to begin construction until we close out what is called a legacy project. One of the older Roy Cloud projects that did not receive certification, this project was one of the more complicated ones to dig up all of the previous documentation. But we're almost there. Thank you, sir. Adelante Selby modernization, construction has started and I shared some pictures of the new administration this evening. Capped electrical completed and closeout Capped modernization, a new two story classroom building project construction has started. Shared some pictures of the demo and grading this evening. And all of our other projects have been completed and closed out with certification. So you can see when we started this program, this entire sheet was white. And we are starting to fill the sheet up. And so we're really happy. A lot of construction this summer. I believe we have either 11 or 12 active construction sites all going simultaneously this summer. And with that, does anyone have any questions or comments regarding the bond program?"},{"start":1079190,"end":1081750,"speaker":"F","text":"So I have. Oh, go ahead."},{"start":1084310,"end":1086910,"speaker":"B","text":"No, I was just a meeting to say that I couldn't see everybody."},{"start":1086910,"end":1087270,"speaker":"A","text":"So."},{"start":1087910,"end":1088870,"speaker":"B","text":"Go ahead, Elisa."},{"start":1088870,"end":1145840,"speaker":"F","text":"Oh, okay. Yeah, So I just got a question, you know, are there any changes going on or thinking with the bond now that we're in this kind of COVID world? And the reason I ask is I see we are doing some bathroom remodels and renovations and in thinking about equipment that goes in there like faucets or soap dispensers or things like that, I don't know if there's an opportunity. I know that there's a facility subcommittee that's thinking about that, but it seems like there might be some things, particularly with the bath. Anyway, I'm just wondering if you guys have talked about that at all and if you have, if you could share a little bit about any of that, you know, in terms of just additional hygiene and sanitation and things like that. Are there any changes going on to what we're doing in the bond per the world we're living in now and particularly with the bathrooms, I think I'm interested in."},{"start":1146720,"end":1169110,"speaker":"C","text":"Yeah, as per our last week, the bond, the bond program is not handling the COVID related adjustments. And so I understand that the district is handling that in another way. And I, you know, look to Don or district staff to provide more updates on that."},{"start":1171270,"end":1174230,"speaker":"B","text":"Is that something the facilities subcommittee is handling?"},{"start":1176400,"end":1196800,"speaker":"C","text":"Well, we're discussing. Everything's on the table. I think what Alyssa was referring to is if a restroom is being remodeled and as a manual faucet, can that manual faucet be changed to a no touch faucet? Things of that."},{"start":1199600,"end":1221640,"speaker":"F","text":"That's exactly what I'm talking about. If there's opportunities where I know we had one plan pre Covid, but if there's an opportunity to make a change that doesn't cost a lot of money and we think we're going to want to make the change anyway, just, you know, think about it. I was just wondering if that's on the table because I see these bathrooms being pulled out and remodeled. You know, I'm thinking all of a sudden now by no touch everything. Right?"},{"start":1222360,"end":1227160,"speaker":"C","text":"Yeah, there's opportunities. So we are in discussion about it."},{"start":1228280,"end":1232520,"speaker":"F","text":"Okay, thank you very much and everything looks great. Thanks for all the work you're doing."},{"start":1236900,"end":1258660,"speaker":"B","text":"Anyone else have any other comments or questions? So, Will, I love seeing all these pictures. It's really exciting to see the changes. I've been driving around trying to check out some of the sites lately and it's exciting to see everything coming together. So thank you and your team and dawn and everything for all the work you guys are doing right now."},{"start":1260140,"end":1265420,"speaker":"C","text":"We will have a lot more to share after summer and we're excited to share that with you guys."},{"start":1269500,"end":1269980,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay."},{"start":1269980,"end":1273060,"speaker":"B","text":"If there's no more comments or questions, we can move on.

So, as you all know, we had our first webinar last week. We had it on Thursday in English and we had the Spanish one on Friday and this. This week. Well, actually tomorrow we have the special ed webinar and Dr. Paulino and her staff will be giving an overview of what the plan is when we return in August. The English webinar starts at 6 o' clock and the Spanish one will be at 7. I believe Jorge Quintana sent out information already on this and also sent out information for questions ahead of time. So that'll take place tomorrow."},{"start":1365960,"end":1384360,"speaker":"C","text":"Yep. Sorry to interrupt, but Kyle, you have to be set as the host.

Where was I? The webinars are on our webpage now. So parents who were unable to attend last week. Webinars, you can go onto the webpage and hit the link and you'll be able to see the webinar that took place last week. We also have 247 questions that we're in the process of answering. And it's our hope that by Friday they will be on the webpage also maybe part A and part B, but they will be there. Some of them are questions that several people have asked the same question. So we kind of lump that together. Those that are all the same and so they all have the same response. So please look forward to those. Also, the next item regarding COVID 19 is we've been receiving emails from parents in regard to why can't we just start like some other school districts in the state of California, other counties that are just coming back to just bring students back and they're starting out with five days a week. So I'm going to let Wendy give you an overview on that since we spoke about it on Monday and she did some additional research to find out what these school districts are doing and, and the rationale why they're doing it. So Wendy, I'll let you take it from here."},{"start":1478380,"end":1745280,"speaker":"D","text":"Okay, thank you, John. Well, I do want to say that I appreciate the input that our community contributes. You know, we feel like we're all in this together to a degree, although we are under certain guidelines that we have to take into account. So all information that comes into us we do consider and take seriously and and determine whether or not these options are viable. So there have been a few parents that have questioned why we are unable to return to normal five day a week with all students on campus like we did prior to March 13th. And so that's what I would like to address tonight. Some of you have may heard that Marin county has communicated that they will be resuming school five days a week. Marin county has less restrictive guidelines than San Mateo County. I'm actually not sure how they're planning to meet the 6ft physical distancing guidelines set forth from the state. So I do have a call out to Marin county for clarification on that one point. Portola Valley and Woodside also have small class sizes and are planning to bring students back five days a week as well and are able to work within that 6ft physical distancing space within their classroom. So those are the three local districts right now that we're aware of that are seriously entertaining this idea. But I do want to know to note that in the Redwood City School District, our class sizes range from, you know, approximately 24 to 31. So this is the reason why we need to lean towards a hybrid model and not bring students back five days a week. Documents that are driving our planning and decisions are the California Department of Education Plan to Reopen Schools document and the California Department of Public Health Resources. So those can be googled and found or people can email me if they're interested and I can send them direct links. But it would be really helpful if all people that are highly interested in the reasons and the rationale on why we're moving in this direction could read this information. It does change. We're ready to pivot as we need to. But flexibility is the name of the game here. We're learning, but we do want people to educate themselves about the struggles that we're having as a district to try and, you know, marry all of these forces together. We badly want students to return to school and we miss everybody and want them to return. But we do have to ensure the safety of our students and our workforce. We do work in a union environment and that does require the district provide a safe working environment within the guidelines of our union contracts and in this case under what our county is recommending. So it is clear the county health guidelines for San Mateo county needs to ensure that students and staff are interacting six feet apart. In calculating the square footage of our classrooms, we are able to meet the recommendations of allowing 12 students to be in the Classroom at a time. The guidelines also speak to the need for a stable cohort of 12 students. Yet we do recognize that parents will likely alter the stable cohort group as they navigate their own schedules and child care needs. I'm a parent myself. I'm going to be battling the same problem. But from a school district's perspective, we can really only control we can do at school. So local K8 school districts similar to ours that are, that are kindergarten through eighth grade, like San Carlos, for example, already voted on a hybrid model similar to ours. Belmont Redwood Shores is also proposing a similar model. But what we're trying to do is just use the guidelines derived from data from science to support our decisions. As we are not scientists, we're educators, and we need to rely on the latest information from the state to guide our work. So with all of that information and what we know right now, the proposed AB hybrid schedule model meets the requirements outlined in the county health guides of adhering to 6ft physical distancing. And so that is something we're really working towards and entertaining and planning to bring to the board in July so that parents can make a appropriate decision for their family with all things considered. So I wanted to give the board an update on some of the research that has been happening this week in regards to that topic."},{"start":1748480,"end":1754400,"speaker":"E","text":"Are there any questions from any board members? Because I know you all received the same emails also."},{"start":1756160,"end":1808980,"speaker":"F","text":"Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you very much, Wendy, for following up. I know that I had sent you an email and asked if you could follow up with some of the other counties and school districts that we were getting emails about that were doing things differently than us. And just to clarify, you know, they're either operating under different health rules than we are here in San Mateo county, or they already have smaller class sizes and maybe even larger classrooms so they can accommodate the six feet. So that was sort of my gut feel from a mathematics standpoint. But I'm glad that you were able to clarify it for us because of course, as you said, I mean, the board and superintendent and staff, we're all interested in as much as possible to get more kids on campus as soon as we can, safely and healthy, healthy wise. But, you know, we've got to follow the guidelines. So anyway, thank you very much for following up. I really appreciate that information."},{"start":1809620,"end":1810420,"speaker":"D","text":"You're welcome."},{"start":1810980,"end":1840000,"speaker":"B","text":"So sorry, Wendy, I know that you said San Carlos approved theirs this week. I was looking at their presentation and it appears that their hybrid model is am PM and not the two days on two days or Three days off, like we're looking at. Do you have any idea what their plan is for cleaning? Because that's really our primarily largest hurdle in not being able to do something like that."},{"start":1840480,"end":1871560,"speaker":"D","text":"Right. Actually, San Carlos is only offering the AM PM for their primary grades, and they are putting a considerable amount of custodial supports into that model. Their second through eighth grade will be coming back in an AB model similar to our ideas. I think they might be slightly off, but the same idea of a group A and group B. So two different stable cohorts in different parts of the week."},{"start":1876280,"end":1939710,"speaker":"F","text":"And if I read it correctly, it looks like what they were proposing is PK through first grade grade for the first six weeks to come back. Am, pm. And actually, it's funny, I saw that as well, and I sent a question. How can they do that with the cleaning that's required in between the AM and pm? So I know that the facility subcommittee is looking at some of that because we've also had some of our TK and kindergarten teachers ask if there was a way to do this because they would like to sort of get, you know, see their students every day for shorter amounts of time if possible. But I think the cleaning is the issue for us, if I understand it. And then also I had concerns with working parents. Is it better to have longer a couple of days or every day for a couple hours if you were looking at that primary grade? So I think there's some questions that I know I put back to our staff and said, could we at least explore this and get some answers to see what we can do? But I do think the cleaning is going to be a stickler. So I'm kind of curious for San Carlos how they're going to make that work."},{"start":1941230,"end":1947070,"speaker":"E","text":"They put more resources into their custodial staff, from what I understand,"},{"start":1950830,"end":1954590,"speaker":"F","text":"they can do a clean between a.m. and p.m. in an hour or something."},{"start":1955390,"end":1961710,"speaker":"E","text":"I don't know the exact time period.

So we have to remember they have very few schools. That's a major piece. They only have four. Four plus the charter school. So five elementary settings. And so obviously fewer classrooms, fewer, you know, so. And the question is to bring two separate cohorts. They do have to do what we are calling a deep cleaning. There's the lighter cleaning and then the deep cleaning. There's still intense cleanings. But I do know that they did revert more funds into their custodial staff, but they also have fewer spaces, considerably fewer spaces than we do."},{"start":2004020,"end":2011660,"speaker":"B","text":"And my understanding is if we were to do the same thing, it would be multiple millions of dollars invested into cleaning staff."},{"start":2011660,"end":2023920,"speaker":"D","text":"Is that correct?

I'm talking county of San Mateo is grappling with this. I know San Mateo Foster City is going in the same AB cohort that we're doing. Also, I know that it's being presented tomorrow night. And they're grappling not only with the, you know, the a.m. p.m. With the kindergartners, but they're also grappling with, as we all are, the child care piece. And I know Alyssa and I know you'll probably talk about this later. The meeting that you and Maria and I were in yesterday. Yeah, yesterday. These days, yesterday with the city, how we, you know, have stressed how much we need assistance in this arena for us, because with the cohorts for the child care, they can come from different classrooms, but then they have to be in that cohort for at least three weeks before anything changes. So as we move down through the steps and get further along, provided that, as was said in yesterday's superintendent's meeting, with lower virus being detected in individuals and lower patients in the hospitals and the ICUs, then we can move into different steps where hopefully, again hope, but hopefully we can get to that step where we can bring back many children, depending on what step we are in. Hopefully with step three, once you're in step three, then you're pretty much on your way. But as we were warned yesterday, we are not the ones just ourselves that will make that decision. It will be the county health department that will assist us with this in giving us information in regard to those people who have tested positive. How many people are in hospitals and can we move forward knowing that it has declined? So I know you all get on different conversations with other elected officials that are going through the same process at this point in time. So you can also share that tonight, among others that have come up in those conversations that you've had, because there are many of you that are elected officials from board members or elected officials that are on county council, elected officials that are on our own Redwood City Council that are on those meetings that you go to.

And then John was relating that we had a meeting with a couple of the city council folks and the high school district and again mentioned child care and our need to get assistance with that. So we are definitely actively working with our community partners trying to find others to help us solve the child care. So I did want to just say that we know that that's a piece because particularly if we go with the AB schedule, the days that students are off, you know, they need assistance. So we're hoping that someone else will take the lead on this. And we've got some irons in the fire, I guess, so to speak.

And then my other question is, I'm not sure if I figured out the square feet correctly, but could someone help explain to me the square feet of how many students are in a classroom? I looked at 12 students and one teacher, and I thought that if everybody had to be six feet apart, that it would look like, you know, two dots and two dots and two dots and then a middle row for a walkway, a little border of a.

Every bit of the plan to the board. That's the only item, I hope that's on the July 15th, but I'm sure there'll be something about construction on there. With that being said right after that meeting, we have got to get a commitment from parents on which model they're going to choose. So we will be sending out a different type of a survey, which will probably be done vis a vis your phone and we'll get more information to you prior to that time. The other item that has come up that parents have questioned about recently is what about home teaching for those parents who want to do home home teaching, are we going to be, are they going to be able to do that? Especially if some of them determine that they want to do their own bubble or their own cohort where several of them are doing it together at this point in time. We are. That's one thing that Liz Wolf is looking into. And we're having a meeting with another member from another county that is doing that also. So there is a lot of information that we still have to take in prior to July 15th when we reveal the. It's still a draft. Because why I say it's a draft. It's because we may have to pivot at any time if the order, Health order is safe, that we have to go to total distance learning. But there will be information regarding the. The models that parents can choose from. And then they need to make a commitment. And once we have a commitment, then we have numbers. And so we can go forward. In answering questions like you just asked if you have not as many children in that classroom that would normally be there because parents are keeping the kids at home, does that allow for more students to come in to that class that you would normally have, you know, one on A schedule and one on B schedule? We would have that information at that time once we get the commitments back from the parents."},{"start":2803810,"end":2804370,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you."},{"start":2804850,"end":2811250,"speaker":"B","text":"Thanks, Katherine.

For example, in kindergarten, the child should be able to. Children should be wearing it for about 25% of the time if they can. And then it goes up to first grade. First grade, try and wear it for 50% of the time. Then it goes to second grade. Start at 75% of the time. And when you get to third and fourth grade, people should be using it at 100% of the time.

Yeah, we are following, like I said, we follow the health orders and we are also following the framework that was put out by the county Office of Education, which also follows a state, state Department of Ed. And we also follow the guidelines from the California Department of Health. And they're all pretty much aligned. And they all talk about that 6ft social distancing piece, the mask piece ranges differently from county to county. There are some counties that want, you know, once you walk outside your door, you should have a mask on. For children. It's different depending on the age, but it varies from county to county."},{"start":3044800,"end":3201210,"speaker":"F","text":"Can I just add something from our. Actually Janet or Dennis could, or actually any of us could add the same thing. But so basically at this point, San Mateo county has moved in the direction through a variance that we've gotten to align with the state requirements. So it's actually the state requirements that are the six feet with the face coverings, along with all the other documents that Wendy mentioned coming out of the Education Department. So I am not clear how Marin and Contra Costa are coming up with different numbers. So they may be in what's called a different phase of the state plan. So you know, the state has different phases. And when you're in a phase and you're following certain requirements. And so San Mateo county actually got a variance to be part of the state because we actually probably should be more restrictive with our numbers, if you look at the guidelines of the state. But because some of our numbers were okay from a health perspective, we were able to get the variance. So the idea is now if you have concerns, you're actually supposed to be calling the state, if I understand it correctly, and maybe Janet, Dennis, Maria, Cecilia, if you want to add to that. Because I know this came up in our recent Wednesday call with Dr. Murrow and with the county manager along with their attorneys that they are still answering some calls. But I think they really want to move in the direction that this is a state requirement. And I will say that I believe the requirements are set from a health perspective. From all that I've read and heard and talked to from the health experts around epidemiology and viruses and all that, what they're saying is that if we give a six foot buffer and we're wearing face coverings and we're washing our hands, those are probably the best things that we can be doing to help prevent contracting and spreading the virus. And so although I think we all want kids to come back to school in a more normal environment, we also have to recognize that, you know, we're part of the collective good and we have also responsibility to our staff and our students to set an example. Right. Of what's being asked by everybody in terms of providing a health and safety environment. So obviously, if the state or other health people all of a sudden say, hey, the numbers are looking great, they're down, we can go to 2ft or 3ft, no face coverings, we would more than willing jump in and do that. But I think at this point, all the guidelines I've seen, I personally could not go and advocate for something less restrictive."},{"start":3203450,"end":3290970,"speaker":"B","text":"Yeah. And I, you know, I was speaking this week with a behavioral specialist that works for Palo Alto Medical Foundation. He was telling me about just the increase of calls that he's gotten from parents because it is really hard for the kids to be home and it's hard for the parents to have kids at home. And so we know behavior problems have increased. We know that for mental health reasons it's really important for our kids to be back on campus and with their friends and with their teachers. But you know, he even pointed out knowing and understanding about this virus. And he's a parent in the San Carlos district, so he's looking at it from the medical perspective and also the parent perspective. He says it's absolutely not possible to open up five days a week. Right now, the best we can do is the AB that we're looking at. And then on top of that, understanding that this virus is impacting the Latino community, and at an incredibly amazing rate, higher than any other group. And if you look at our population, you know, we have a high Latino population, and we need to think about the safety of that community and not exposing them to the virus and having them bring it back to their families also, who are at greater risk. So those are all things that we're measuring. And we have to follow our county and state guidelines. And other counties might be doing something a little bit different.

Teachers have asked for this to have smaller class sizes so they can spend more one on one and really high quality, high quantity time with kids. And so, you know, it'll be interesting to see, like, I think it'll be a really impactful couple of days that the kids have with their teacher. So I just want to end on that plus. I think there are some pluses all of this. And I know, John, in talking to you and the team, I think we should not think of what you're going to see in the fall as what we saw in the spring. Because I know that our school district will be much more prepared. There's exciting curriculum and, you know, all sorts of things that the teachers and the staff will be more prepared to deliver. So I think with the two days on campus and then the three days, the distant learning, I think the distant learning will be a lot more engaging and interesting and all that. I mean, I still think there's the issue of somebody needs to be watching the kids. So that's an issue we're trying to help with, with child care.

And we understand that this year, you know, this is, you know, we. Our concern is not only this year, but at the year after the impacts of this year. And that's one thing I want the board members and the district to really, really think about any permanent things such as layoffs. I can almost guarantee you anybody that gets laid off right now will not be returning to the school district when things get better. And you, you know, unless you're making a permanent change to a program, these are all temporary things. And if you have the funding, you know, we'd like you to look at keeping as Many people as possible in paid status. We are coming up with some very creative ideas of how to use almost all of our classified employees into, you know, an mou, that your job description is going to be a little different this year and your job duties are. But we're here to assist the district in what they need, and that's online as well as on site. And so we want to thank Wendy Kelly for starting that conversation today. We're having another meeting next week to talk about other issues, but we do hope that there will be a forum that we can come together to find out exactly what the district needs so we can try and find ways, creative ways of utilizing our classified employees to the max. Thank you. Thanks, Maria."},{"start":3645550,"end":3647310,"speaker":"E","text":"Wendy, did you want to say something about that?"},{"start":3647630,"end":3707470,"speaker":"D","text":"Yes, if you don't mind. And I do want to thank Maria Stockton and her team for a great, productive conversation today and to applaud CSEA's representation on the reopening schools committees that they serve on. It's really important to have the voices of our union members, teachers, and classified staff. And I'm really appreciative of the out of the box thinking that we're exploring because we do value all of our staff, and we know that there is a shortage of staff around the Bay Area in general, and we want to make sure that we have what we need for our students and the staff to support them. So sometimes with csea, you know, things are sort of lockstep, and I'm really appreciative that we're having these great conversations about other duties and things that we still need that can be accomplished in different ways. So we'll be bringing you some ideas at a future meeting.

The proposed budget for 2021 is also being presented today for board adoption. There's only one change in the in the budget and particularly the multi year projection from the June 10th presentation. And tonight I will just give you an update of the state budget. And what would be the impact on that on our own district budget. Although it's not included in the proposed budget for now. So I have a few slides on the PowerPoint if I may share that with you tonight. So."},{"start":3881430,"end":3883350,"speaker":"C","text":"So Priscilla, I gotta meet you the host."},{"start":3883990,"end":3884870,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay, thank"},{"start":3888710,"end":3888890,"speaker":"C","text":"you."},{"start":3895840,"end":4349220,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay. Okay. So. As I mentioned, the only change between the June 10th and today's presentation is the increase in the contribution from the RDA funds to the general fund of 2.4 million. This is to include in the reserves or in the components of ending fund balance via potential ongoing cost of future negotiation settlement. So in this budget, we have only included the ongoing cost for the rcta, which was settled before the budget development. So the one that was approved today, the RCEA is not in this budget yet and neither the CSEA will, which is still pending at this point. So what we've done is to assign or set aside funds and the components of fund balance to cover potential ongoing costs for these pending negotiations. So that's the only change from the June 10, 2020 presentation. So what I wanted to show to you today are the terms of the agreement between the governor and the legislature. So they have preserved spending for K to 14 schools. So what that means is that for the local control funding formula, the 10% cut was eliminated, but there's also no cola. So it's the same as the 2019-20 level. So what would be the impact of these to the proposed budget? So what will happen either at first interim or within 45 days from the state budget adoption? I may be presenting to you all the changes to the proposed budget today. So the impact of the removal of the 10% cut is that we're also going to be saving the basic aid fair share. So they cut the minimum state aid for us by 10%. So we will recover that back. But because the district authorized charter schools will have to also recalculate their LCFF funding, we may also be sharing higher in lieu taxes. So those two would be offsetting. So the second items that included in this agreement is our deferrals. So the deferrals are actually more than what was presented during the May revision. So during May revision, the proposed deferrals of state aid apportionment is only for the month portion of April, May and June. So this time the deferrals will be February, March, April, May, and it will be paid in August, September, October and November. So there's a large amount of the state aid appliance that will be deferred. So for the state aid, the LCFF or non basic aid districts are going to be heavily impacted by these. But for us it's only that minimum state aid portion that will be deferred. However, we received a letter from the San Mateo County Comptroller's office about a potential change in the way the property taxes are apportioned to school districts and other taxing agencies. And this is due to the governor's executive order which basically suspended the assessment of penalties and interest for late payment of property taxes. So with these suspension, they anticipate that they may not be able to collect in full the taxes that are due in December and April. And taxpayers may avail of these because there's no penalties and interest. So with that, you know the historical allocation where they are providing 50% of the property tax estimate to school district by December and then additional 40% or a total of 90% by April, that may not happen, depending on how much is collected in December. But because we are a Tidor county, they guarantee that 100% of the total estimated collection will still be received in June. So what the county is proposing, depending again with the amount of collection, if they don't have enough amount collected in December or in April, what they're going to do is prioritize what will be paid first. So what they're saying is that they're going to pay the special charges first and debts such as the go bond, principal and interest, and then if there's remaining money, then it will be allocated to the school districts. So because of these and because we're basic aid, we're highly now dependent on local commun property tax allocation. The school district may have cash flow problem mid year. So if we're not going to get our 90%, I mean 50% allocation by December and then 90% by April, we may have difficulty meeting our monthly obligations. So we may be looking at again a combination of internal, you know, temporary interfund borrowings. And if that's still not sufficient, we may consider outside borrowings mid year in the 2021 year. But because we're guaranteed 100% allocation by June 30, we are going to repay whatever outside borrowing or interfund borrowings that we're going to be getting. So that's what we anticipate next year in terms of cash flow projections. So then on the agreement, there's also the learning loss mitigation funding from the federal CARES Act. So this is condition upon the adoption of the Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan. This is new. New and I'm sorry. So this one is new and it needs to be adopted by September 30th. So the state Board of Education is required to develop a template by August. And So we have 30 days, assuming it will be completed by August 31st. So we have 30 days to, to adopt these form. So and then the lcap."},{"start":4349220,"end":4351220,"speaker":"C","text":"Priscilla, Priscilla, before you go on."},{"start":4351460,"end":4351940,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah."},{"start":4352340,"end":4363060,"speaker":"C","text":"The other, the other item, I think so if you could comment is nobody knows how much each district is going to get. Right. It's a variable amount, like a subject to somebody."},{"start":4363140,"end":4368660,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. So right now for the learning loss mitigation, it's coming from"},{"start":4371950,"end":4372830,"speaker":"B","text":"my calculator."},{"start":4373550,"end":4596990,"speaker":"A","text":"So if you're gonna go to the CDE website right now, there's like two calculations that are available in there. One is for the ESSER funding, which is part of the CARES act. And if you look at Redwood City School District, it would show that the district will have about 1.1 million in Esser funding. On the other hand, the learning loss mitigation, there is a calculated amount there of 3.2 million. So however, we're still waiting for the trailer bill and make sure that the preliminary calculation that is in there is final. And so we are still working with the county office. We had a meeting with them yesterday and so they're going to follow up with the CDE if they're going to come up with specific guidelines on whether those numbers will become final. So the next one, we're not going to have the local control. The normal three year LCAP that we used to put prepare, this is no longer required for the 2021 fiscal year. We just need to adopt the, you know, there's like a Top page, about three pages on the lcap. It's called the LCFF budget overview for parents and that still needs to be submitted by December 15th. So and then the other thing that remains in this final agreement between the governor in the legislature is the special education increased funding. So the special ed AB 602 base funding is increased from 557 per ADA to 625 per ADA and then there's a significant amount of increase in the low incidence disabilities cost pool. However, this money does not, does not directly flow to the districts because it goes to the selpa. And so each SELPA have different ways of allocating the funding. So some have high cost pool like we do and so it does not directly come to the district but there will be an increase in the allocation so the CalSTRS and CalPERS buy down. So the rates that we've used for the June 10 presentation remains also. So there's still going to be a reduction in the CalSTRS and CalPERS employer contribution. The rest of the items on the agreement are like the ADA hold harmless provision so that still remain and other items like the staff certificated and classified staff protection. So these will be the first interim adjustments or if you know, if we know about the federal funding because that's really significant then we will have to do the 45 days budget revision after the budget is enacted. So I'm sorry. So we are waiting for. We're expecting the trade bills to be released this Friday June 26th and then the governor will have to on the budget by June 30th. So that's what I have. So if there any question on the proposed budget."},{"start":4612920,"end":4615400,"speaker":"B","text":"I'm not seeing any from the board."},{"start":4618440,"end":4640520,"speaker":"C","text":"Yeah, first, thank you so much to you and your team.

So I put my name in here because I'm on the Orion Minute Immersion School site council. And I also wanted to add that as for the PTO, they basically fund so for next year would be 2020, 2021. So we're raising money as a PTO for that year, during that year for the Mandarin Scholars. They raised the money for this year in the previous year. And so there was a purposeful effort to try to fund things, to fund personnel not through PTO, not through PTO and not through Title 1. So that if the money wasn't there that we wouldn't have to cut personnel. So I think that's also an important thing to bring up. And the other thing I would just add is that language immersion programs are really expensive and most of the ones in this area in the Peninsula were funded by big federal grants, but this one wasn't. And it's also not a 5050 model, meaning that they're about 75% of the families don't speak Mandarin at home. So the teacher training and the coaching and the aides are super important to maintain the integrity of the model. And it's even more so now that we've merged with Orion, which is a parent participation campus. And they have parents are able to get into the classroom, which is awesome. But for the Mandarin program, unless you speak Mandarin, there has been a norm that you do not volunteer in the classroom because if you do, if there's a bunch of English speakers in the classroom, then that also dilutes the language immersion model. So the aids are also important because we don't have the type of parent participation that the rest of the English strand has. Because of that, I think that's about it."},{"start":5035530,"end":5036490,"speaker":"B","text":"Thank you, Sarah."},{"start":5036890,"end":5037530,"speaker":"D","text":"Thank you."},{"start":5037530,"end":5040170,"speaker":"B","text":"Our next speaker is Megan O'Reilly Green."},{"start":5048170,"end":5186110,"speaker":"D","text":"Hi Megan, go ahead. So I really wanted to say I appreciate all the board does to keep with UP children safe and, you know, provide them with a good education. I know it's really difficult times, so I'm the mother of three children and I'm speaking today as the interim co president of the Starship PTO and the community building chair of the Mandate Immersion Program. And you know, similar to what, you know, Katie and Sarah have said, I won't repeat what they said, but you know, I think that this year we've Fielded a decent amount of accusations of unequal distribution of finances across a rise and Mandarin immersion. So I wanted to speak to that. I kind of wanted to point out that the program was created by parents to provide a high quality educational program that's available to anybody in the school district, regardless of what your test scores are, what neighborhood you live in. And this is something that we're really proud of. We take really good care of our people across every racial and socioeconomic status in our program and on the campus. We worked hard, you know, to build partnerships and lift the community that we grew out of at John Gill and, you know, part of our communities work together. Part of that teacher coach that we hired, we paid, you know, $65,000 to the district. You know, that teacher coach works well. The teachers are one community. And so, you know, that's something that comes out as just benefiting us, but it also benefits the whole entire community in terms of like, making the teaching better and lifting, you know, kids education that needs to be lifted, you know. And so these accusations that we continually have to field, you know, of us not being fair, they not only hurt us personally and waste our energy, but they also hurt our program and our school. And when this hurts us, it hurts the district. So, you know, similar to what Katie, you know, and Sarah said is that, you know, the reason we have to raise money, you know, to pay for these aids is that without that, it would not be an immersion program. Kids need to hear the natural language between two speakers of a native language to technically be immersed in the program. And I know for adelante, you know, there's able to be an arrangement for student teachers so they, that immersion program follows, you know, a different path. And I don't know if that's something that we could, you know, look into in the future if there might be a different way of, you know, presenting this on the budget so that other people can understand it better, you know,"},{"start":5186110,"end":5187310,"speaker":"A","text":"but the other thing that I wanted"},{"start":5187310,"end":5236220,"speaker":"D","text":"to mention is that like I live in a two bedroom, a thousand squares square foot home. My three children share a bedroom, we have one bath. And yet like every time something comes up, it's like it threatens the existence of our program. Like, I'm asked to cut $20,000 check and you know, I just, I think that there's an optics, you know, issue that we have and we're continually like running up against it. You know, we contribute both to rcmis as well as Orion Starship. We're happy to do that. Even though some of the benefits that go into Orion. We don't see, see any particular benefit from them. We want to raise more money for them. We want to continue lifting people. I hope next year as PTO Starship co president, we can raise more funds for both programs. But the optics is an issue and I feel like it's wasting time for both, all of us. So I hope that it's something that we can work on together with the school district in the coming year."},{"start":5239100,"end":5249640,"speaker":"B","text":"Thank you, Megan.

I'm also part of the Mandarin merge. And as you can probably see, there was a group of us that felt like we needed to speak today because we saw a converse. Bless you. We saw a conversation on Facebook that was concerning and it wasn't the first time that we had seen something like that before. And like Megan alluded to, it's, you know, I guess my, my comment is more broad in that seeing those kind of comments online is upsetting because one, they often are not based on all the facts and there might be good intentions. But for example, the comment that we see today was based on a couple line items in the budget and they were making statements about wide gaps in funding based on those couple of line items. But what they may not realize are many of the nuances that folks have brought up and they may not realize that those line items don't capture all the funding. There is the school site council budget. There's other PTO dollars that aren't reflected in there. There's grants for community school. It doesn't give you the full picture. And I don't know if any of us as individuals in the community have that full picture. I'm guessing that's why someone like Priscilla exists. And so I would caution folks in the community to make, to make inaccurate, divisive remarks when really in these days we should be working together. I think everyone cares about equity. I think everyone has good intentions. And so it's very easy to scapegoat. But that's not going to help anybody. And so I just would ask people to be careful in what they're putting out there because when you put it out there, some folks take it as fact and it's not helping to put those missed facts out there.

I am the one responsible for that Facebook post. And after coming on the heels of four people who really don't know me and felt like I put incorrect information out there, I'm more than a little upset. Definitely spent my time getting nice and calm to talk about the inequity, not feeling the transparency at all. I was just going based on Priscilla's budget and we have Mandarin immersion coming in at 157,000 for 1920, 178,000 for the 2020 first school year. We have Orion coming in at 150 for the 1920, very similar to the Mandarin immersion. And then this year they have 21, 243. I kept all my comments very professional. Nothing I said on there was inaccurate. I'm frustrated because I just wanted to talk about equity and I think this is a prime time to discuss it, to follow four people from one one program. And I wasn't even going to go after the. The Mandarin immersion. But it's wrong. This type of funding is wrong. We talk a lot about the inequity. I've talked to the board members. My kids go way back in the program. They are actually from Orion. And so when I see these kind of discrepancies, it raises some red flag. You know that I work at Taft. The fundraising doesn't even compete. I had my daughter go to Northstar. I never felt like a good North Star parent because when you go to Northstar, they say, we would like this amount of money. I said, no. All of our students deserve that type of enrichment that Northstar gets. I know that Linda Montez is working with the National Urban alliance and says that all students should be treated as if they're gifted. I gave my money to RCEF because I know that it was distributed equally. This year. Northstar had 236 from 1920. They're going into 2021 at 303,000. My daughter excelled at Northstar. She's excelling straight A's up at Oregon. I'm very proud of her. But we have to address the equity issue. The fact that my students at Taft didn't get to go to the. What is the seal place? And, you know, because we couldn't get the number of parents to get fingerprinted, it was the first time that I have been there that they couldn't go. And it just goes on and on and on. And do the students, my newcomers, do they not deserve to have somebody, you know, working with them full time? Like, it sounds like this Mandarin immersion program. It's really upsetting. And then to say, oh, we're sorry. You're. You're hearing that. It's like they need to hear it. We all need to hear it. I was actually super calm before following those four people. So that is. I do want to spend a little bit of time on some good news. We've been. The librarians have been invited by the Redwood City Public Library to do community reads. Four of us have already gone down and done a recording. I look forward to sharing that information. And the videos are actually very cute and very fun. You have a great group of librarians and. And we think outside the box a lot. I am a pretty good representative of the librarians. I am passionate. I want everything for these students, whether they're go to Taft or Kennedy, the Mandarin immersion. I want everything for them to be equitable. And we're not going to get there if we just keep saying, oh, but the parents get to decide where they're money goes. So parents get to decide where their money goes."},{"start":5717530,"end":5718090,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you."},{"start":5719210,"end":5734650,"speaker":"B","text":"I'm sorry to interrupt your three minutes.

So tonight I'm bringing forward to you a new board policy regarding working remotely. And it seems a little late, to be honest, because we were shipped pivoting to remote working earlier. But we do have this board policy for you to review and hopefully approve tonight, you know, just with discussion. Thank you very much to Elisa and Janet who serve on the policy committee that went through this document with me. But really the highlights for the working remotely board policy is to lay out the needs of the district to be able to. To approve remote work and to support staff that will be working remotely in certain situations, showing proficiency in their work, the ability to meet deadlines, etc. And the supports that go with that. So the document in front of you outlines the various components of what that means, ensuring that we have responsibility from the employee. Also discussing the confidentiality pieces that entail some positions to work from home and the need to make sure you're on top of that as employees and giving the ability to stop that arrangement should it be needed. And so those are some of the main highlights that you can see in this two page document. Are there any questions?"},{"start":5977040,"end":6035380,"speaker":"C","text":"This is probably a question for Kyle. Do employees log into like a VPN on the district website so it's secure? It depends upon what services they're accessing. So if they're just elaborate. So if they're just logging in to get to student work, they're more than likely going to log into Google Apps, which doesn't require VPN access, but it's just it's a website, it's secure, it has encryption on both ends and so that the traffic can't be kind of sniffed or pilfered as it's going between the two sites. And that's how all of our teachers transmit traffic or information back and forth with students because that is usually handled through Google Classroom. And in our students in grades three through eight, that's almost all of the traffic goes that way or through a secure Google Doc."},{"start":6038580,"end":6038980,"speaker":"F","text":"Great."},{"start":6039060,"end":6039700,"speaker":"C","text":"Thank you."},{"start":6049620,"end":6052590,"speaker":"F","text":"So I'll go ahead and move this as part of the policy committee."},{"start":6053710,"end":6059390,"speaker":"B","text":"Thanks.

So anyway, at some point we do need to do the survey out to staff. So that was one of the things that we said we would. I know you know, Dr. Baker will be thinking about time wise when, when we can do this. And I did send out a couple of emails asking about other school districts that have templates that they've used.

And I know that that was there, I think before we updated some of the capacity numbers and other sorts of things. But I may have been taken off at some point because I think I got some of those emails as well. So I think we just need to make sure that there's a place that people can still comment. Right. And then those comments are collected and then Jorge needs to make sure that we see those."},{"start":6794900,"end":6812150,"speaker":"C","text":"So I can help you. There is a document called Neighborhood Schools Boundary Change Study Community input form number one. And it's dated June 9th and it's. It's got a green top. I can send it to everybody so"},{"start":6812150,"end":6825150,"speaker":"E","text":"that it's probably where they go on to make their comments. It's probably similar to the one for the, like the parent survey we have. That's green on the top.

Yeah."},{"start":6850480,"end":6867100,"speaker":"F","text":"I think some of the comments came in before we updated all the capacity figures.

I'm sorry, just a comment. Are we thinking or maybe moving forward about moving to a different agenda platform? I know that you guys had board docs do a presentation, so is that something that would need to be put in an agenda or is that something that it's talked about offline?"},{"start":6918060,"end":6984900,"speaker":"E","text":"No, to be perfectly honest, we haven't been able. Been able to have that meeting. I have not been able to attend at the times, and I know Ellie had set up a meeting and then we went into COVID 19. So that is still something that we want to look at. Something we want to look at because of the. What we're using right now is not amenable to our work. It's a lot more time spent on creating this document that you have now as for a board agenda item. And it'd be easier if we had board docs, which a lot of the other school districts are doing. We had already talked to Priscilla about it and having, you know, in the budget and so forth, but when we went to COVID 19, we just stopped everything. So that is something that needs to come back and hopefully when we're back at the district office, whatever time frames that will be put into place, we can start looking into it again. It would be a lot easier for all of us, including board members also and the community when it comes to board docs."},{"start":6987470,"end":7058020,"speaker":"D","text":"Trustee Marquez, we did have a conversation with one of the representatives from board Docs. We did have a presentation about it before we went or before we. And we were setting up to move on to the next step. We talked to our business department about what we needed to do on our end. However, that has been put on hold and I have been contacted by their representative. But as of now, I haven't come to an agreement just because it's been extremely busy for all the administrators as of now. And I know like for Sequoia it was a really smooth transition. So I mean, obviously you guys have to make the decision, but I don't think you guys would regret it. I mean, I really think it's much more user friendly and I know like sometimes you guys might have issues uploading documents. I just think it's just a really good system personally. I mean, I use it at work."},{"start":7058980,"end":7063460,"speaker":"E","text":"Most of the school districts use it.
