President Matt."},{"start":20880,"end":252600,"speaker":"A","text":"And then she was having. Yeah, she'll be on in just a minute. She was having trouble get on but we just saw her in the closed session so I know she'll be on and yes, I'm present. Okay, let's see. So on the closed session items, we heard from staff and accepted what staff had to said and there were no conclusions out of the closed session tonight. And. Okay, welcome. Let me start with the welcome. So welcome everyone. It's really nice to have you here tonight in our virtual board meeting. I just wanted to start with, you know what a week that we've had as a nation. We have an inauguration of a new president and new directives, more new priorities and directives coming out every day. And hopefully this new direction will help us combat this pandemic and be favorable to public education, including supporting us with educating students during this pandemic and helping us bring back more students in person instruction. So I have posted the links in the chat for the agenda as well as the comment card and I will repost those again when I'm done with the welcome remarks. If you would like to speak to the board, please fill out the Google Doc form and that's in the chat or on the agenda and then be sure to include your name so we know who to unmute at the time you'll be given. It looks like tonight, three minutes per person. Since we do not have as many speaker cards as sometimes we do. If the item you wish to address is not on the agenda, you'll be called during oral communication and if the item is on the agenda, you'll be called at that point. Let's see. As a reminder, this is a board meeting meant for board business with COVID We have added regular community updates to keep everyone informed and allow for public comment. I would like to take a moment to remind everyone to be respectful with your comments. We have heard from some community members who are no longer want to speak publicly due to feeling disrespected by other community members. So we really want to welcome all public comments. We believe as a board that will make our best decisions by hearing all points of view. So while we cannot prevent members of the public from commenting even if their words are untrue, hurtful or simply not helpful, I would ask that when you speak to the board, please be mindful of your words and your tone. It is important now more than ever that we practice kindness, respect, and empathy towards everyone, and, I might add, be a good role model for students and our children. In the same manner, the chat feature is open to members of the public to ask clarifying questions or make a short comment to the panelists. That would be your board members, but I would ask that you please do not use the chat box for ongoing conversation or commentary. It's distracting to us as we're trying to watch the meeting or pay attention to the meeting. All right, so as a reminder, because we're virtually. We'll be doing all roll call votes, and thanks again for being here. We welcome you. And. Yeah, I think that's. And I know that we have translation, and I believe. Itzel, would you. Or Gonzalo, I think one of you is doing this, the Spanish translation, and I'm assuming that our Spanish speakers know how to get on that. I don't know if we need to say anything publicly here. Go ahead, Gonzalo. Oh, lost him."},{"start":254680,"end":263719,"speaker":"C","text":"He's. He's there. Itzel is also with us.

Maybe somebody in Spanish could just say, if anybody's listening to what I'm having to say and is a Spanish speaker and not on our Spanish translation, if they could type something in the chat or raise their hand and let us know and we'll help them out. I think everybody by now knows how to get on the Spanish translation, but I just want to make sure. Gracias, Dr. Montes. Appreciate your help. Okay, so let's see.

They're in their different houses. And the live performances were really interesting. Interesting because of course everything's glitching with tech and the students were very poised and did a great job improvising when things glitched in the performances. So it's just a.

So this evening we're going to give you an update of where we are at, as we have been doing every board meeting regarding COVID 19. As you know, we did open some in person instruction along with our hubs and our pods on January 19. What I'm going to do this evening, or what I should say Liz Wolf will be doing this evening is going to give you an update not only on the reopening, and some of our school sites are going to share with you some information and some photos. And also we are going to talk about the governor's new Governor Newsom's proposal update, which there's a lot of controversy about right now. So at this point in time, Liz is going to give a bit of an update of what we need to do to make sure that we could open up on the 19th and items that needed to be placed on our website. And when we get to the end of the school's sharing, I will also give you an update that will indicate the work that each of our schools did. And then Ms. Wolf having to work with our county office, and then also what happened to us on Martin Luther King Day. When I was notified by the county, they were not sure we were going to be able to open. So I'll get into that a bit. Surprise, surprise. But we were able to open.

And so again, every day there's new information, and we keep up with it as best we can. So this part is called Just More Plans. So part of the California Schools reopening status. As you're probably aware, there's a new website that we need to put some of our information on that shows all of California information about the schools that are reopening and where they are. And there's kind of an interactive map and all sorts of stuff. So as of this Monday, we needed to submit information to this new website called California all that will need to be updated every two weeks. And this is actually pretty simple. Information to update is basically information about our lea, our local education agency, our district, in terms of are the majority of our students back full time, Are the majority of our students in a hybrid program, or are the majority of our students in distance learning? So that's actually pretty easy. And so we do that every two weeks to update that. So that was done on Monday. Next there, in addition to that, there is the California Schools reopening status that also needs to be updated. And this is as John was referring to a couple of minutes ago, because we have already reopened, our part in this is actually pretty easy. We just need to post a couple of pieces, a couple of new documents on our website, and that needed to happen by February 1st, and we've actually already posted it. So we've taken care of this requirement as well. And so there is a COVID 19 safety plan known as the CSP. So we might as well get used to that acronym for a while until it changes into something else. And the two components are the updating or the uploading of our Cal OSHA report, as well as a new checklist. So the Cal OSHA report is called the COVID 19 Prevention Program, the CPP, as opposed to the CSP. And that was something that was developed, I believe, right before Christmas break. And so that was worked on by hr, and so that has been posted onto our website. And in addition, there was the COVID 19 guidance checklist that doesn't have any acronym, but that was a piece that actually was. Because we did so many plans prior to Christmas, this was a very easy format to fill out because it's basic and it was meant to be, actually, if people had already gone through the steps of following the four pillars and looking at all of the different components for safety, all we had to do on this checklist was check to say, yes, we had done that. And it was in our plan. And so in addition to our reopening plan, as well as all the school sites plans that are on our website, and there is now this checklist that says we do have all these on our website. So that needed to be posted by February 1st, and we posted that yesterday as well. So those are the two latest requirements. This is not the plan that needs to be in place for potential funding from the governor. This is just plans for notification for what the district is doing. So that's kind of boring. So what we're going to move on to is something far more interesting, which is to give you an update on what's happening at some of our sites. And so the first site we have, excuse me, will be Garfield. And so, Kyle, if you could unmute Lupe. And what each of our sites will be talking about is a brief overview of the number of students that have returned to in person instruction, whether that be in classrooms, in pods, or in hubs. And then there are some photos that we can show as well. And then they will be available to answer any questions that you might have. So our first school is Garfield. And I'd like to introduce the principal, Lupe Torres Khalil."},{"start":1363580,"end":1549330,"speaker":"G","text":"Good evening, everyone. Big good Evening to President McAvoy, Board of Trustees, Superintendent Dr. Baker, Deputy Superintendent Wendy Kelly, of course, Assistant Superintendent Liz Wolf, and most of all, a big welcome to Redwood City School District community members. Like Liz said, I am honored with being the principal at Garfield Community School. And I would like to start off by sharing a quote from one of our fifth grade students who decided that he had something to share with me at the fifth grade assembly. We were having the Wednesday before our scheduled day of returning, which was, as Dr. Baker and Liz have pointed out, January 19th. And he said, Ms. Torres, can I actually tell you something? And I said, sure. He said, I am so happy to be going back to school. That is where I belong. And when he said it, I kid you not, I am not one that shows emotion easily. But my heart melted because at that moment, I realized two things. Number one, I realized that Garfield had provided the social, emotional setting Elias needed to feel like he belonged. And it was true. He did belong at school. And it was something that Garfield had worked hard to establish in our community for years because we want our students to feel like they do belong at school and that school is a place where they can thrive. So that, to me, was number one. And the minute I realized that, I knew that we did the right thing by at least offering this opportunity for our students to come back for in person instruction. And I knew that although it was hopeful that we would do well with this program, that in order for it to be truly successful, one big thing had to happen. We needed to build community, and we needed to build trust with our community. And we would be doing that through the routines and the procedures that we needed to have in place in order for our families and our students to feel safe and cared for while they're at school. And so, as you can see, we have seven classroom teachers returning to in person instruction for a total of 85 students. And we have our wonderful partner, Boys and Girls Club, who is also offering pods to specific grade levels, making sure that we are offering an opportunity for students to be able to come on campus even if they are not returning to in person instruction with their teachers."},{"start":1549330,"end":1549520,"speaker":"I","text":"And."},{"start":1549590,"end":1824940,"speaker":"G","text":"And so we are able to provide that for 52 students. In addition to that, Gar Field also has two hubs, one specifically for our fifth and sixth grade students, and one for our middle school students in seventh and eighth grade, for a total of 28 students. And so if you look at the next slide, you will see a few pictures that have been taken. We've been in action for roughly over a week and a couple days, and we are seeing here that the things that we wanted to put in place are already in practice. We are doing COVID testing. We are encouraging our families to please take that opportunity and get their students tested biweekly. We have our wonderful nurse, Phoebe, who supports us with that. In addition to the COVID testing, we've also created first aid kits for each classroom, including the hubs, because we want to make sure our teachers are able to provide that in care classroom support if students need first aid. Ms. Phoebe also did a great job with helping us put up a protocol for when students would receive care in the classroom and when they would be sent to the waiting room for triage or additional support with our office staff. And so those are things that really have assured our families that we are mindful of how students are feeling, we are ready to take care of them, whether it's a loose tooth or whether it's a nosebleed. That we have a protocol in place that addresses that and that we will communicate those things to them regularly and immediately. Another thing that we have in place is making sure that we have things labeled clearly for our students to use. It's not featured here, but our bathrooms have a lot of signage that indicate to students which dolls and urinals are assigned to their class. They have designated bathrooms on our campus, which is not easy to do considering there is construction happening simultaneously. While we are having students come to GAR Field, this has been going very well. Students have been also doing more hand washing. We have also purchased touchless hand sanitizers and touchless soap dispensers so that students are not touching these items as they're using them throughout the day. We are just really impressed with how well students have adapted to the situations that have come up. Some have been planned and structured and some happen as you know, with school business. And so we are really proud of our students, we're proud of our families. And one of our biggest challenges that I do have to say just to make everyone aware is that we want our students to be consistent with their attendance. And so we're really working hard with our families to attend school on a consistent basis. Weather is actually not helping us right now because it's been very cold and it was rainy today. And so we're hoping to find ways to facilitate that and so that it doesn't become something that is a constant obstacle for our students attending school. We are excited to move forward with our in person instruction. Our teachers are also reporting that students are excited. I think you can see one of our other students on the far right of the screen whose name is Ricky. And when they're doing brain breaks in some of our classrooms, we're doing things like origami and like the PE pre recorded lessons. And so there is Ricky with his origami hat to show that he is able to find ways to keep himself entertained even when things are not, you know, as easy to do in the outdoors. So thank you all for letting us share a little glimpse of what is happening at Garfield. And anytime you would like to come for a visit, just let me know and the door is always open for you. Thank you everyone and have a good evening."},{"start":1826380,"end":1829500,"speaker":"C","text":"Does anyone board members have any questions for Lupe?"},{"start":1833900,"end":1837740,"speaker":"A","text":"Lisa, let me just see if I can see any."},{"start":1838540,"end":1884660,"speaker":"C","text":"Well, Lupe has in person, she has pods with our partners, which is bgcp.

That teacher teaches. Then after recess, the teacher from room 15 will go into room 16 and vice versa for the last part. Then those students go home at approximately 11:15. And at noon, both those teachers do distance learning, Requiring parents to pick up the progress report and sign for it so that we know that they've received it. Because email is not a mode of communication that is widely used at this point for our families. And so as they are looking at those progress reports, there is a concern coming up. And so we are creating a wait list. And we just heard at our principals meeting today that there may be a possibility and opportunity to be part of a grant that would be supporting and possibly funding pods or hubs for schools that would like to have this offered. And so that wait list is being developed as we speak."},{"start":1986880,"end":2021160,"speaker":"A","text":"That's great news. Yeah.

We're very, very excited that we're able to open up our school and actually have students again on campus. It made school such a difference for both our students and our staff. We actually have a lot of our teachers returning, particularly in our elementary. We actually have in person instruction. We have three classes in first grade. We have two in second, we have three in third, two in fourth and two in fifth. And we have one of our special day class, which are special education students returning as well, for a total of 136 students who are all receiving in person instruction. We actually have about 10 teachers returning and we have 13 classes. So it's wonderful. A couple of the three of the teachers are teaching in person in the morning to one cohort, and then in person again in the afternoon. And then the rest of the teachers, because they really wanted to come back in person, they actually opted to, rather than have one teacher at a particular grade level, teach all the in person students. They all opted to teach in person for part of the day and then do distance learning for the other half of their class. So. And they're just really finding it valuable to actually have students in their classroom who they're teaching to directly. Right now we also have four pods in seventh and eighth, so the pods are a little bit different. So these are all of our own middle school teachers. We have one of our seventh grade teachers who is actually teaching through distance learning, but supervising a classroom of seventh graders. And then all three of our eighth grade teachers came back, and the eighth grade teachers are actually doing distance instruction, but with the students, they're teaching in that particular cohort at the same time. So many of the students are getting the benefit of hearing directly from the teacher rather than necessarily through the screen. What this means is the teachers, the eighth grade teachers, are actually moving between the classrooms as rather than the students moving between the classrooms as they normally would for their two core periods each day. And then we also have three hubs. We have a TKK hub because we didn't have any kindergarten teachers returning, but we wanted to make sure that our kindergarten students were still able to receive some of that supervised distance learning. We had fourth grade because we actually were oversubscribed in fourth grade in terms of the number of students who wanted to return. And then we have a sixth grade hub as well. So those are our guest teachers. So in this case, our classrooms and pods are all being taught through our Roosevelt teachers. And then our three hubs are actually with guest teachers, which is wonderful. So in total, we have about 215 students back. We had about 115 of them last week, and then we added about another hundred this week. I would just like to share the smiles on the faces of our students. I know you can't tell with the masks, but they really are super excited. We're making the most of our space. In the lower right, you actually see one of our teachers teaching a small group, socially distanced or physically distanced outside. And then in the top right, you can even see that we have one of Our teachers, it's actually has flexible seating in her classroom and she had that when she had a class that's 30. She's reduced the number of seats she has in there, but she's still been able to maintain the six foot distancing and utilize flexible seating in her classroom currently. And then some of the other classrooms a little bit more traditional as well. So it's actually been really exciting to see the smiles. I do want to share just one small anecdote and then I'll open it up if there's any questions that like to come through."},{"start":2270820,"end":2271180,"speaker":"E","text":"But"},{"start":2272940,"end":2337610,"speaker":"I","text":"the first and second grade teachers for the students who are in person prepared a recess bag for each of the kids. And in this recess bag, I know with the first graders they had like bubble wands which are, let me tell you, it's fantastic way to keep kids physically distant because they're waving the wands around. But at the same time super fun for the students to be able to see all those bubbles floating around on the playground. They also have chalk so they can actually draw on the blacktop. And we saw a lot of kids busy doing that yesterday in particular. I imagine they will not be able to do a lot of that tomorrow as we're expecting a lot more rain. But I think the teachers are coming up with creative ways for the students to be entertained. They're coming up with creative ways for students to maintain their own materials in their space and have really made the most of the spaces available to them. It's interesting, we have three brand new teachers who for the first time are actually getting to work with students in person. And they all could not be more excited to be able to set up their classrooms in a way they couldn't do in August. So that was actually really exciting for all of us.

I really want to say thank you to my staff to start off with just because I know they've been on the farthest right just starting in November with our six classes. I really want to say thank you to the six teachers who started this pilot back in November to welcoming our students back on campus. I think it's been a very positive outreach for our families and I'm happy we've been in this process since November. So our students are definitely happy to be back. We added in with the new in January we added five more classrooms. So we have a total of 11 classrooms that are opened up on the task campus. And so we're happy to have 178 students back on site, which is very exciting that we have about 50% of our students back in person, which is important for our population since we were having lots of struggles with Internet on the area where the staff students reside. Just to, as you can see, we also have a CDC preschool on our site as well that's actually opened up as well. So we have One, we have one classroom, it's a K1 teacher. We have two second grade teachers. This is a bilingual model. So there's two teachers there that share by language, one English speaking and one Spanish and they switch. And then we have a second, third grade, a third, fourth grade class. We have our sec, third through fifth grade, our fourth grade, we have two fourth grade teachers and a fifth grade. We actually have just, you know, we have an A&PM model. And so it's been very important for our teachers to make sure we are serving as many students as possible. So our teachers in the pilot program decided they wanted to do an A and PM model in person. So the six pilot teachers actually have morning students in the morning and students in the afternoon. And so we are able to serve more students this way. And so our morning classes are pretty full with about 12 to 15 students in all the classrooms. Our afternoon classes are a little smaller, but yet we're still able to serve as many students as possible in the afternoon. We have, I want to say thank you to bgcp. They have made a lot of this possible because they have been able to support. We have an AM program and PM program just like our classroom. So we are able to provide support for our students to actually attend school in the morning and then they go into program in the afternoon. Students who are entering afternoon classes are actually supported in the morning program. So as you can see on the chart, we have our AM BGCP classes with the first, second grade combination to three students in fourth and fifth grade. And then we have four classrooms in the afternoon to help serve 59 of our students. We are actually serving all the students at this point in time that want to be in person. So we don't have a wait list. This week we had some families who want to start in person, but we have to. They are. They are in the need of BGCP program support. And so we are waiting. We have them on a wait list because we do have families who are changing their minds and want to come in person as students are starting to. As we start our third this week, as we started the third through fifth grade, been impacting the classroom. So we do have. We are able to serve 50% of our population to help our students. Our students are very happy to be back. You see students at recess, they're smiling, they're laughing, they're enjoying they maintaining their distance. They're able to, you know, just socialize. And I think that's an aspect that many of the families will sharing with me that they're really glad that their children are happy to be back. I did have some parents share with me in the morning that as they're dropping off kids and we're doing temperature checks that they were very hesitant to bring their child back to school. And their child was the one that was convincing them that they needed to be back in school. And they've been very happy to be back. And the parents are also seeing the benefits of their students being in person versus being at home where the Internet was A lot of. There were too many issues with the Internet and many times students were not able to log in or having difficulty getting kicked off. So parents are definitely seeing the benefits of them being back in school. They're happy to drop them off when they in our ingress time in the morning and actually pick up time. So you can see on these pictures, our recess we have where they eat, they're all staying six feet apart. We have areas that have been zoned out on our playground. Students are playing basketball and the classroom teachers are, you know, supporting students. Everybody has their individualized materials set in the classroom. So students are sitting in the rooms and learning teachers are able to address their issues in the classrooms. We're hoping to. They still continue doing some online learning, especially because we have our STEAM teacher. So our STEAM teacher is able to join the classroom virtually and start supporting the students virtually through lessons, but being able to actually do some hands on science within the class as well as individualized activities. So we've been very fortunate that we started back in November. We've been able to add more students as our staff was willing to come back. So I want to thank BGCB staff as well, as well as our teachers at TASC for taking this on and just opening up the doors to having our students on campus."},{"start":2933930,"end":2946860,"speaker":"F","text":"Well, Anna, I want to thank you because you took the first step.

And I will say that by power piloting classes before winter quarter, by bringing back those that were ready starting January 19th and having successes and being able to showcase what we're showcasing. And also, you know, some of our teachers and families getting more comfortable as more people get the vaccination. And we just see successes in the schools. And of course, with the CDC guidelines that came out showing that we're not seeing the transmissions in school sites, particularly for the early grades, that we are hopeful that more teachers and staff will want to come back and actually more of our students and families, because it's really both that there is still some fear in the community as well as some legitimate health concerns and that sort of thing that some people have.

You can't open up like you want to open up. So after talking this through with the county office of Ed and also giving them the other information that they neglected to read carefully, they let us go through and Dr. Morrow gave us the waiver that we were going to need.

And, and of course it's normally either Monterey or Southern California. And I don't wear I think we're supposed to be in Monterey this year, but I'm attending it virtually with other superintendents and I'm doing it in between other meetings. So went to principals, had principals meeting today and other meetings in the morning with Redwood City 2020. And in between those I was doing virtual meetings with the other superintendents in the state. And the big issue right now is this proposal. So we heard from the legislative and analyst because what all of us are asking, we want to bring this forth to each of our districts, to our boards that we want to apply for it. So what are the guidelines? What needs to be in the application? Where is the application? And as the analyst said, you have got to remember this is a proposal the legislature is negotiating with the board. So even though it says February 1st it's due and classes should be starting on February 16th, it's all going to be pushed back. And so you could just see and we're, you know, virtually on this meeting and everybody just shaking their heads. So we are it's my intent to move forward with the plan, whatever that looks like. And I've been working very closely with Liz Wolf to make sure that we get what we need in on time so that we can start visualizing what this will look like. For the Redwood City School district it is $450 per student. It says you need to use the dollars in a method for learning loss, for also assisting those students who with social emotional needs and also you need to start bringing back your staff. So I know there is work that we need to do, but we're ready to do that work just to make you aware that we are starting to we've already done the basic work. There's a plan for every school and I have to definitely commend each site administrator for getting that plan done. So there's the framework right there. What needs to occur now is what do we need additionally to put into this plan so that we can be part of this $2 billion if it stays 2 billion because you know there's going to be negotiations back and forth and what are they going to ask for specifics that we need to do. I know one of the specifics that they want us to do is testing. And fine, we're doing testing right now, but they want us to do it every week. And I know that's a big lift for many school districts and the cost of that, where's that going to come from? So that's one of the pieces of negotiations that I heard about today. So as soon as we get these guidelines and what they're looking for, we are going to move forward with a plan. The plan will again come before you because I believe it needs to. This plan needs to go before the board and for your approval. That's why I'm understanding at this point in time. Any questions in regard to this. This slide right here and this."},{"start":3614660,"end":3615700,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah, I just wanted to."},{"start":3616260,"end":3626420,"speaker":"F","text":"And I know, Alisa, you've been in other meetings with CSBA as an official, and I know you've heard other things. So if you would like to share that now, that would be great, too."},{"start":3628180,"end":3763420,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah, thanks. So I just wanted to mention, and actually some of the other board members may have been on the CSBA reopening webinar that was last week. And then I've also been in a couple of other conversations with California School Boards association and some of the negotiations that are going on because as you said, Dr. Baker, the announcement was a proposal by the governor. And I think some people are under the assumption that it's a done deal and that maybe school districts have even already gotten the money and that it's kind of new, almost easy money. But in fact, as you said, you know, we don't even have the application yet. The state legislature has not even approved it yet. And actually, some of the concerns that the California School Boards association has is that with the extra requirements that the governor had in his proposal that school districts would need to do in order to reopen, that it actually will cost way more than the $450 a student. And that's actually, that's on the maximum end for districts like ours that actually have high unduplicated count, whereas for other school districts, they actually would be getting less. So part of the issue is that, you know, we're already doing a lot of those things and spending money out of our general fund and partnership money. So for us, it would be extra money, except for there are these additional requirements. So I just wanted to say that I think some of those are being worked out and that again, we don't even know if this is actually going to happen. But I think it would be a good thing for our school district in the end, as long as there's not too many onerous requirements. And on the testing, I believe that it requires every week for students and staff if we're in the purple tier. And then it may go down. I mean, and again, this is just the governor's proposal. It hasn't been approved. We don't even really know yet. So I also just want to make a comment that this is one more example of just how much we've had to pivot and move and all of this. And I think, Liz, you did a great job at the beginning just saying that, you know, every day, every week, there's a new requirement, a new form that's due, you know, yesterday. And it's just sort of an interesting strategy, I might add, from the state and the federal government in terms of how they're supporting us reopening schools. That's sort of a political way. Nice way I could say it."},{"start":3764700,"end":3774400,"speaker":"H","text":"So, Elisa, are you saying that according to the governor's proposal. Proposal. We can mandate that students test?

So basically, he's saying that it would be a requirement to test all students and all staff every week. And I agree. We've talked to our attorneys and they've said that we are not able to require students. So, anyway, there's a lot of details to work out before February 1st, which isn't happening, as you said. I do think the governor has good intentions, which is great. I mean, you know, it's just the details matter."},{"start":3804590,"end":3820430,"speaker":"C","text":"And just to make sure I understand, it sounds like there's nothing to apply for until the legislature negotiates, whatever the agreement is.

But I guess, you know, what is the real concern here. He comes out, as was stated today. He comes out and makes the statement of this proposal, and this is what's going to take place. And all of a sudden that gets blown up in the media, social media, regular media, whatever media you. You prefer to. To read or watch. And then, as superintendents were saying, their communities are blowing up, saying, you need to apply, get this done. You know, you can open school right now, get it done, and we can't. So. So it's. It's just in some fashion, it's great that he has these ideas, but does he really think them through and work them out with people around him or those peop. Those of us that are on the ground running with it on a regular basis? Because when you read the articles in the newspaper and you read articles that are on social media, this already looks like a done deal.

I mean, the plan, we can do that. We can come back, work with our staffs and everyone and our teachers that this is what we need to do. Let's move it forward. But then as you go to the next slide, he has these pieces in here that he wants us to make sure that we put in place. We've got the testing in place right now, as you know, we're doing this other pilot test with the antigen tests at two of our school sites. We've got all the ppe. We've got that contact tracing and believe me, the contact tracing and tracking. God bless Erin and Antonio and now Shaina that's working with us on this. Because this takes. The amount of time it takes to do this is unbelievable. Unbelievable. I got to experience it once with one person. Four hours, and I still didn't finish. So. So we. So that we're doing the vaccination piece, that's a whole other story. There was a question here. What are we going to do about vaccinations? When are they going to be informed? Well, 23 superintendents, along with the county office superintendent, we came up with a plan that we presented to Dr. Morrow, and Dr. Morrow thought it was a good plan, but we need an outside entity like maybe a Kaiser or Sutter Medical or some big entity, hmo, ppo that could really help us with this. As you've all been hearing in the news, there's not enough dosages for the vaccine. I, myself and Jorge Quintana, we watched. I think his name is Dr. Galley, and he is the physician who works with Governor Newsom. And they have now created a website called myturn.ca.gov. you go there, you put in some information, it'll tell you, you know, when supposed to notify you when you can get your vaccine. I put us. I put, you know, I went on, Jorge went on. We went on. As, you know, educators in different age groups says, not our time yet. It's for the 75. Older. Older and those people that are in the medical field. And we thought, you know, we're supposed to be 1B, which we. I think we still are 1B, but I think 65 and over are also in 1B. So."},{"start":4073200,"end":4073680,"speaker":"B","text":"Yeah."},{"start":4073760,"end":4197990,"speaker":"A","text":"And can I. Can I say a little bit on that? Yeah. You and I spoke about it. I know it's crazy. So something that we learned, again, this was on the CSBA webinar. Dr. Deborah Shade, who's a school board member down in Solano beach down in Southern California. She sits on the governor's committee. I don't know if it's a task force. It's basically looking at vaccinations and the protocols and all of that. And what she was saying is that the state has made a decision, in part because of the ICU bed, to look more at age, because we need to make sure our ICU beds are not over capacity. And so, yeah, they decided to go with the 65 and older, along with the teachers. But now it appears that there's not really even a priority for the teachers or the staff, because really, we need all staff. It's not just our teachers. It's all the staff that are supporting students. And so she was saying that she doesn't believe that we'll have all of our staff vaccinated until mid or late summer, which I'm hoping that that will be moved up if we can get the supply chain going. I know there's a lot of conversations at the federal level about that, but I just want to let the audience know because I know we've gotten a lot of questions about vaccines. Again, given the media, people are assuming that they're just calling us up and saying, hey, we've got the vaccines for your teachers and staff because they're a priority. In fact, that is not happening, and we are having to beg and claw like everybody else right now. So I know that Menlo park just put forward a resolution to the governor and others around the vaccinations. I talked to Dr. Baker about us doing that. I'm hoping maybe we could do something like that for our next meeting and send it off. I actually have a conversation tomorrow with CSBA leadership about what more CSBA can do to support us in the vaccination. So I would say, as an audience member, if you would like to send a letter on our behalf to help us get back in person, that would be great."},{"start":4200310,"end":4450820,"speaker":"F","text":"And then on the next slide, it talks about the oversight and assistance and the transparency and the accountability, a part of this plan, which we already have in place. So I don't believe that we are going to require to do much more than this. Liz explained tonight about Cal OSHA and how that is already on our website. Wendy Kelly brought to you. I believe it's the last board meeting, the Cal OSHA plan that we have, and it is, you know, that was uploaded also, and the accountability with the dashboard. We do have a dashboard in place ourselves already, so that's there. We would just need to put information onto the state dashboard, so that's easily done. The Next slide talks about, you know, provide optional in person instruction consistent with the COVID 19 safety plans that we have at each of our schools. So this is something that we will definitely go in this direction and continue to work with our staffs to see the manner in which we can bring more students back to in person and hybrid. Because as I've been told by various members within the community, no matter what we do, there are some that are not going to let their kids come back. So we're still going to have to have this hybrid model. So that is definitely something that we will review and present when we go in this manner of creating. Creating another plan. The other piece that is on here is that all students in kindergarten through second grade is that first group that's supposed to come through first in this plan. That's how it's stated right now. I don't know if that will actually occur in that manner or if There was talk today by the analyst that I heard at the one virtual meeting with all the other sups in the state that that could be tweaked. There are some groups that don't feel comfortable with just those grade levels. It should be extended. So I don't know. As I said, it's all negotiable at this point in time. And then you also have. They talk about fifth, they talk up to sixth grade here, this middle school, they do not involve at all at this point in time because they are in the feeling that the kids move from class to class. It's not appropriate for the teachers to move from class to class because of the cleaning and so forth. Then of the peace. Also of what they have learned is those students that are 13, 14 year olds, they tend to be also those students who are more receptive to the virus like the high school kids. And that's why they're not having the high schools in any part of this right now. So that could also change. So we'll see. But what I want you to understand at this point in time, along with the community, is that we want to work with our teachers on the vaccine distribution list immediately. As soon as we can do that, whatever we hear, we are going to make sure it gets out there. Wendy Kelly and her staff did a great. They had a great responsibility to move forward and to make everyone aware in the district about the vaccinations, about where you could go when it's your time. And she rolled that out, if I'm not mistaken. Wendy, was that last week?"},{"start":4450820,"end":4451420,"speaker":"A","text":"I can't."},{"start":4451660,"end":4452860,"speaker":"F","text":"Was that last week?"},{"start":4454700,"end":4462350,"speaker":"B","text":"Yes, Especially for those that would qualify now be eligible for or their age groups and so forth and where locally they could go."},{"start":4463550,"end":4594280,"speaker":"F","text":"And then the other piece is to we want to negotiate with our teachers. We have an MOU right now, but to bring with this plan, if it's giving us additional dollars to bring back some more students in person. We want to look at that MOU again and encourage teachers to come back to in person learning. And then also talk about the vaccinations when you return to school. Big piece here is the vaccinations. We know that was a concern of many of our, not only our teachers but our staff members. And so whatever, Elisa, you and your entity csba, how they can move forward for us. I know AXA is doing it for the administrators and I've already signed on to make sure that these vaccines are at the forefront for all of us who are in the educational field, starting with those teachers that are in the class, teachers, instructional assistants, the principals, assistant principals that are at the school sites right now. And then move it to all teachers. And then what we need to do also is to start talking with the union, as I said previously. What can we do to make this happen? And once that's done, make them feel more comfortable to come back. Number three, get all elementary schools K6 back to in person or at least a hybrid. At least a hybrid. I'm really hopeful and will encourage and support from the board that we can do that. I do not believe this timeline of March 15th.

I'm wondering if the teachers are piloting the programs, can actually communicate and send out an email to all the other teachers in the district, just kind of encouraging them. And obviously everybody feels their own, you know, unsafe or not, but perhaps if they hear from the teachers are actually in the classroom right now, they may feel a little bit, you know, at ease hearing from them and knowing that, you know, nothing's happened to them. And again, because if we're going to be waiting for the vaccination, it might still Be a while. So that might be just a little bit of a push. And again, not to push, but just to encourage them and maybe just make them feel a little safe."},{"start":4691550,"end":4847690,"speaker":"F","text":"That's something we can look into. And I can look into it with each of the principals to talk to their staffs that have teachers in in person at each school. There is some in person happening. It varies from school to school. As I said in the last board meeting, when Liz showed the different charts of how many at each school site. That was at the last board meeting. We sent all that information out in that Friday communique. Jorge attached the meeting to the communique, plus we also attach the slides. So if parents and community are interested on what it looks like at each school site, you can go to those slides and look at it. But it's a good comment and it's good for us to think of doing something like that. I would like to encourage staff as much as possible and we will work with you in the association to get some more in person happening at our school sites. Whatever the plan turns out to be, whatever the requirements are, it's my thrust to move forward and go for the plan with the state. I would just need to have board support and moving in that direction. And that would mean that within the plan we would see some additional in person instruction happening at our school sites. The hubs are great. As Tina and Ana and Lupe indicated, it gives children the opportunity to work with adults. They're not teachers. They're not yet. Some of them want to be teachers. They're not there yet. They're not in a program yet, but they're like a substitute. And they have that caring nature, that nature and that thrive to learn. Because Dr. Montes has basically been training them on what to do when they're working with students that are actually working virtually with their teacher and what to do during asynchronous time. And Linda, you've done a great job with that. I'm glad that we have our guest teachers and they're moving forward in that direction.

And yet we need to find a provider because I think what we heard on the county call last week was that the vaccinations that are coming into the county are being provided to the Medicaid and Medicare recipients that they work with and that everyone else needs to go through their own provider to actually get the vaccination. So it's sort of this weird thing that on one hand there's supposed to be a priority for teachers and staff, but you have to sort of fight, fight for it within your own provider at this point. And most of the providers are only taking, I don't know, every county is a little bit different. Some are doing 65 and older and some are doing 75 and older. So that's where there's this sort of missed, I think, communication and advocacy.

We were hoping to also work with possibly Sutter Medical. Now, I don't know if that's all taken place.

We were also going to contact Sutter Medical and also Stanford to see if they could help us out, you know. But right now it's just in. It seems that when it, when the governor said the 65 plus, it kind of went in a dis. In a different direction the conversations went and it kind of threw things off a bit. So as of Friday, we're still in a matter of flux. That's what I would say. You know, we Thought we were going this one direction. And then all of a sudden, sudden it was 65 and over. And it depends on the county, San Mateo county. When you go on San Mateo county to whether it be Kaiser, whether it be Sutter Medical, whatever it tells you, it is 75 and over. Plus those are in the medical field. But if you go over to Santa Clara County, I think it says something entirely different. You go to Marin. When we were having our superintendents meeting, for those of us in the county on Friday, Beth Polito, who is the superintendent in Las Laminas, her teachers were texting her, hey, teachers in Marin are getting the vaccine right now. And so the county superintendent sent a text to the county superintendent, Marin, and. And it was true.

So, you know, one thought, you know, maybe we can work offline and draft a letter, a resolution, what have you, and specifically maybe target the county, see if there's any opportunities to work directly with them. Kaiser, and we do have Stacey Wagner, who sits on the Redwood City 2020 specifically for Redwood City. Maybe there's some opportunities there. And then I did see Mercedes. Be five and older.

But I think it would be extraordinarily helpful to have real data from the district on the impact of continuing distance learning on the kids who are stuck in it in our district and particularly insights into how you're using that data. So attendance, connectivity issues, learning loss, the. The I ready assessments, any of that data I would suggest should be maximized as part of an education campaign from the district to the teacher staffs and families so that the actual impacts of the continuing distance learning decisions can be adequately understood in that context. In addition to the great teacher communication suggestion from Ms. Marquez, I'm also pleased to see more communication from the district regarding reopening planning. But I would request that the district retain its integrity in accurately conducting those communications. For example, Redwood City School District has not quote, reopened. For most of the families who are part of the district, limited classrooms have reopened. And while it's technically true that 2300 of the 6700 students are, quote, back on campus, my understanding is less than half of those are actually in the real in person learning. And while the hubs and the pods serve a very important purpose, they are facilitated distance learning and should be done, described accurately as such. So I thought the principals did a great job tonight making that distinction, but I'd like to see that distinction done better in district communications and emails from the board to parents so that there's not any misleading communications. And lastly, I'm really pleased to hear a different tone from the district and the board about wanting the students all back in school. And I think it's really a great step in the right direction to align on those goals. But my sense from attending all of these meetings and all the communications is that we're really starting stuck as a district to only voluntary teacher by teacher return because of the two reasons that the board has highlighted before, the lack of a negotiated district wide MoU for in person last summer and substandard teacher contract templates for this year and that those, those issues are unique to our district. So well, you know, I'm hopeful that we've learned from this and that our district will act with more strategic foresight on these kind of HR type issues going forward. If it is true that we are stuck with really this voluntary reopening on a teacher by teacher basis, I would love to see more of a focus on tangible actions to create incentives for teachers to voluntarily return this spring. Being creative with what we can offer teachers and really thinking, you know, kind of outside the box and with the parent community in how to make that more of an incentive so we can stay in line with the rest of, you know, the state and the district as schools reopen."},{"start":5526940,"end":5597810,"speaker":"A","text":"All right, you were right at three minutes. You know, I did just want to, you know, I appreciate your comments and certainly I'm sure we'll take those to heart. I did want to clarify though that, you know, keep in mind that in San Mateo county we are, I believe, you know, one of nine out of 24 school districts who are basically back in person. And as you said, you know, it's in various capacities and it's not every student who wants to be, but it is a lot of the students who need to be and want to be. And so we would like to provide it for more. But I just want to be clear that, you know, it's not like everybody in San Mateo county is back, and we're not. So I actually think that in San Mateo county, we're actually a leader right now in our reopening process. And I know it may not feel that way to a lot of people, and there's more you want us to do and there's more we want to do, but I am very proud of our staff and how much we've accomplished. And I'm looking forward, as you know, I think the speaker just said is, to getting more of our folks back in person as we have success. And success builds success, which is great. So, Dr. Baker, I don't know if you want to say anything more."},{"start":5598930,"end":5625950,"speaker":"C","text":"I don't think so. We're seven out of 23. I thought of 23 districts.

And, you know, I just want to say that we are basically, we being, our staff in particular, and the board supporting our staff are really, you know, doing, I believe, the best we can. And we do want to do better, and we continually strive to be better, and we will. But I wanted to say thank you to our staff. They're really working double time, so that's. Thank you on behalf of the board. Okay, so I believe we're moving on to the next thing. Unless there's anything else. Okey doke. All right, 12.2, first reading of board bylaw 9100 organization."},{"start":5724520,"end":5792730,"speaker":"B","text":"Thank you. Nice to see everyone tonight. So I am bringing forward to you this evening three board policies to review. As you know, we have an ongoing effort to update our board policies as we progress along the year. So you'll see quite a few board policies coming your way as we have already. I want to thank Elisa McAvoy and Janet Lawson for being on the board policy committee. And it really results in good rich discussions about how the district is doing and ways we can improve it. Just similar to that last comment. So the first one that we are Reviewing tonight is 12.2. It's a first reading. And this board policy specifically is about the annual organizational meeting. And so the committee met and updated language based on new information provided in regards to the time when officers will be changing their roles and the dates in which those would happen, whether and whether or not an election had occurred. So Janet or Lisa, do you want to add any items regarding this policy to the discussion?"},{"start":5794720,"end":5810400,"speaker":"H","text":"So I don't remember that at some point the law changed where originally board members, new board members would be seated the first Friday in December, I believe. Is that right?"},{"start":5810640,"end":5811120,"speaker":"C","text":"Yeah."},{"start":5811440,"end":5896980,"speaker":"H","text":"And now it's changed to the second Friday. And so the swearing in ceremony has to happen within 15 days of the second Friday in December. So that's why this policy is changing to reflect that, which is somebody was not thinking when they put this into place because that means, you know, we usually have, I think a December meeting like the first Wednesday in December, maybe the second, but it would be before the board member is the new board member seated. So so now we're going to have to have a board meeting just to swear in the new board members. Basically during Hanukkah week and winter break sometime when we would not normally be having a meeting. I think this year it fell between like the second Friday and then the 15 day period ended on Christmas Day. So that's unfortunate. It's the law. So our policy is reflecting that change and then nothing changed as far as the rotation of board members going from rotating seats. So I guess questions if Mike, Cecilia or Maria have any, I just had"},{"start":5896980,"end":5921620,"speaker":"C","text":"one because it seemed like even in non election years it was still going to be set for that same 15 day window and the notice has to be set the day before in 2020 if it hadn't been an election year. The way I was reading it, it sounded like it would still have to be a special meeting. I was just wondering if there's a way to relax that so that there wouldn't always have to be a special meeting, particularly when it's not an election year."},{"start":5925520,"end":5936400,"speaker":"H","text":"Okay, I see. Because the organizational meeting happens, the rotation, I don't know that that's required by law. I think it's the swearing in and seating of the new board member."},{"start":5939040,"end":5977540,"speaker":"A","text":"I think that's accurate, Janet. So we could take that back and look and see if there's a tweak to do, because that's a good point. It's only if we have a new board member coming on. And the history of this board has been that board members do seem to stay for a while. So it could be that we only have that issue, you know, every. Well, it would only be every two years, typically, anyway. Or it could be every four longer. That's a good point. Because it is a hardship on staff. And actually the public who would like to be there to actually have the meeting the third or fourth week in December, which really runs into holidays."},{"start":5980500,"end":5981460,"speaker":"B","text":"Okay, we can take that."},{"start":5981460,"end":5983140,"speaker":"A","text":"We can take that back. That's a good comment."},{"start":5983460,"end":5983940,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah."},{"start":5983940,"end":5987460,"speaker":"A","text":"And I don't see any speaker cards on this one, so"},{"start":5989380,"end":5994260,"speaker":"H","text":"that was a good point, Mike. We'll have to take a look at what the. I guess the ED code actually says."},{"start":5998820,"end":6002140,"speaker":"B","text":"Okay, I'll take it back and put it on our next agenda if we're allowed to."},{"start":6004620,"end":6005660,"speaker":"A","text":"All right, good comment."},{"start":6006780,"end":6007220,"speaker":"E","text":"Okay."},{"start":6007220,"end":6021980,"speaker":"A","text":"Anything else on this one? All righty. All right, Wendy, the next one. 12.3, risk management insurance."},{"start":6023260,"end":6122040,"speaker":"B","text":"Yes, thank you. So 12.3 is regarding, in this board policy, and just for the public, the items, if you happen to be looking at the board policy right now, the new items are in bold, and the items that the board is considering removing are struck out. So in this particular case, there is actually more information in the ARS that is changed and is more specific. However, some notable pieces in the board policy is the fact that we will be providing an update to the board and we can determine the schedule that that will be regarding the district's risk management and loss control practices. So workers comp, etc. And we already do this. We have a safety committee, and we look at the trainings that our employees are given and which trainings they participate in general, whether that be for our custodians, how to properly lift something, or for our teachers, our August trainings on safety in the classroom and so forth. But regardless, this all trickles down to our workers comp rates and so forth, and trying to mitigate losses, whether it's employee time or increase of rates. And so. So in this board policy, new information is written in here about reports that will be given to the board periodically as well. Are there any questions regarding this particular board policy?"},{"start":6129480,"end":6137200,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay, looks like none. This one's pretty straightforward. Thanks. Okay, and then the next one is important. Employee use of technology."},{"start":6138320,"end":6143920,"speaker":"B","text":"Yes. Thank you. So this board policy, once again has more updates in the ar."},{"start":6144240,"end":6144640,"speaker":"D","text":"However,"},{"start":6146720,"end":6244630,"speaker":"B","text":"this did need to be updated. We did show it to Kyle Brombauer, director of Technology and Innovation, to make sure it aligns with the recent information that he's providing the staff. And we're copacetic. But the idea is that it updates district technology to define more items than in the past just because this board policy needs to be updated. Over the last 10 years, there have been new changes. Tablet, computer, smartphones, and various items like that are included now in this particular board policy. And then also noting the acceptable use agreement that employees do sign each year and either upon hire or updated as needed. And including some new language from ED Code in regards to an employee's obligation to make sure information is private, not to be using it for any personal information. So some of that language was updated. Was already in there, but updated in a better manner in this board policy. So are there any questions regarding this particular board policy and also reorganization within the board policy? I think they did a better job with chunking out the language essentially so that it's more clear. Believe it or not. I know it's lengthy, but they did a good job organizing it. CSBA did, specifically in regards to employees and definitions of what technology includes. So there are any questions regarding district employee use of technology."},{"start":6251110,"end":6265030,"speaker":"A","text":"All right. Okay. So it looks like two of them will be good to go for the second reading and approval, and then we'll look at the first one, and if it's just a small tweak, I think we can bring it back for a second reading and approval as well."},{"start":6266310,"end":6266870,"speaker":"C","text":"Thank you."},{"start":6268240,"end":6268560,"speaker":"E","text":"Thanks."},{"start":6269120,"end":6274280,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay, so that's our discussion item, and then we're on to the consent item."},{"start":6274280,"end":6275680,"speaker":"E","text":"Do I have a motion to approve?"},{"start":6277440,"end":6278320,"speaker":"C","text":"So moved."},{"start":6279920,"end":6286400,"speaker":"A","text":"Maria, second.

All right, action items. The first one is 14.1. Acceptance of Redwood City Teachers Association Sunshine proposal."},{"start":6313030,"end":6582710,"speaker":"B","text":"Yes. Thank you. So I wanted to give the public and the board an update about our next steps with RCTA. Negotiations. Last year, in March, actually March 3, 2020, we successfully created a tentative agreement with RCTA. It's been a collaborative group in regards to negotiations, really listening to the other side, listening to the concerns on the way to improve employees and our experiences in our district, et cetera. So as a result, a two year agreement was created, and a tentative agreement is just that. The next step is that the union brings it back to their membership to vote. And then the board also takes a look at the tentative agreement and votes. So March 3rd was an important date because, as you know, on March 13th, we closed schools. And out of the chaos and, and the new information on the pandemic, there was a major concern at that time about the financial impact of what the pandemic would do. There was a lot of talk of recession and so forth in the news. And so I went back to our cta, which is somewhat unprecedented, and said, we need to take another look at our financial commitments to you for 2122 school year. So what the agreement was originally was a 4% compensation agreement, a raise for the 2021 school year, and then, and then for the 2122 school year, a 4% raise as well. And so I asked RCTA if we could go back on our agreement and revisit that again and create an MoU to address the concerns at the time. And they did so. So the MoU that was signed in May 2020 stated that although we already had a two year agreement, there were a few articles that we were going to address. One was compensation, which would address the 4% concern at the time. And then because of this unique and unusual change, we also agreed that both parties could reopen two additional articles. So with that, we are starting that process right now and honoring the agreement from May 2020. The MoU in which we are coming back to the table next Thursday for our first date, February 4, for contract negotiations specifically. And the sunshine proposal that is in front of you tonight from RCTA addresses the 4% increase to the salary schedule. However, they are also asking for a longevity stipend for employees for 5, 10, and 15 years and an additional column added to the salary schedule. Currently, our salary schedule is at 90 units, and they're interested in adding a column to make it 105 units that can be considered for salary advancement. And then for preschool teachers, allowing for a master's stipend, and then an additional column added to their salary schedule. So that is part of the compensation piece that our CTA is intending to bargain. And then along that the two other articles that was agreed upon, they get to choose there too. One is class size in Article 8 and looking at language within class size, especially for music, and maybe looking at wording of contract language. And then 8.4.4 exceptional circumstances, which is a program that was created about five or six years ago, and this allowed for a stipend or some sort of acknowledgement for teachers that have a unique experience in their classroom. So that program is going to be looked at again. And then for Article 14 is under safety. And so they are interested in bringing up topics regarding safety and notification for teachers within the current contract. So I'm presenting this to you tonight for information and an approval for this. This the Sunshine Notice. Any questions?"},{"start":6586230,"end":6596310,"speaker":"A","text":"So we do have a comment card from Brian Cagle.

I've been a longtime teacher there, and I am also the chair of the RCTA negotiations. Chair.

And we've also met many times to bargain various MOUs. And we're looking forward to continuing to work together collaboratively to improve the collective bargaining agreement.

And what I was actually very surprised that this kids were actually, you know, very young. I mean, I did come into this country when I was in the seventh grade, so I was a little older. So it actually made me very proud that they actually, you know, are, you know, obviously I don't know what grades they were in, but just from the look at their faces, somewhere between like first and fourth grade, maybe fifth grade. So that was really great."},{"start":7109930,"end":7110170,"speaker":"I","text":"Great."},{"start":7110810,"end":7116970,"speaker":"G","text":"And so that was the only meeting and other than our one on one with John, but that was it.

Because, yes, we had a lot of interest in the. The application went out to all parents, and we tried to get into as many as we could, but you just, you know, you can't take everybody. So anyway, you know, we'll. We'll have more discussions about that, but we look forward to sharing the results with the rest of the board, for sure. And the community and then reclassification. I just wanted to say thank you very much, Linda and Evelyn. I know how much work you put into it, as well as others. We had is. And Gonzalo there, and. Well, actually, all of us were there. But, you know, I know that some of you put in a lot of work to make that happen, and it was really nice. And, yeah, congratulations to the students for sure. The big accomplishment. And then, let's see, I already talked about the CSBA reopening. There's been a lot of webinars about that. Two by two by two. Maria covered then. Yeah. Redwood City together. And I just want to say that the energy with red. You know, Maria, you served for many years on this committee or this collaborative, and the energy with this collaborative right now is amazing. I mean, I've been with it for a while, and I've never seen anything like it. Dr. Baker, I know you've been with it for a while. We've really brought on a lot of additional partners that I think are really adding to the conversation and really helping us bring in that community voice that I think we need. So, anyway, really happy with Rafael as the leader of that group. So more to that, you know, I think at some point we could ask Rafael to come and give an update to the board and our community, kind of where we're at, because there's a lot of cool stuff happening. And I know Dr. Baker's been putting a lot of time helping."},{"start":7269680,"end":7278720,"speaker":"C","text":"Well, I know we came up with all those committees, and I didn't even know I was on that committee.

As Warren would always say, and I always copy Warren about this. A shout out. You know, Linda, it was great. The ceremony was fantastic. Reclassification ceremony. And Evelyn did an outstanding job. Because when you said we Were going to have this and you gave me the date, and I go, and this is going to be virtual because, you know, we're always used to being on the stage and shaking the hands and, you know, the kids want the pictures and they want the hugs and all that. Oh, how is this? She. It was an outstanding job. And the piece of her putting. Contacting the parents to get pictures of the kids, not necessarily their school picture, maybe some were, but their parents and their siblings together and a great picture. It was really. It was great. It was great. I. Maybe we should do it that way all the time."},{"start":7352030,"end":7353790,"speaker":"B","text":"I told her she started a tradition"},{"start":7354110,"end":7358510,"speaker":"G","text":"because that PowerPoint was really sweet with the family pictures. That was really nice."},{"start":7358510,"end":7537580,"speaker":"C","text":"It's really good for those people that in the community or teachers that didn't see it. You know, I think we have it on. It'll be online or we get Jorge to put it. I think Jorge's putting that, if I'm not mistaken. And so it's there. And it was. It was fantastic. I'm totally thrilled. We did have a principals meeting today, and we went through a lot of items. And the computers, the new computers for the teachers are here. There's a rollout process. Principals were made aware of. I guess there was a Kyle's. It's called a dongle Kyle. Yep. That we need. Yes, yes. So they're here, too. So teachers will be getting their new laptops soon. There's a schedule, and the principals will get that all out. And then there is that grant for additional hubs that did come out. And Elisa, you alluded to it. That is it Rod Chow that was on the San Mateo School Boards Association. He was on the San Mateo County School Board, but it's no longer. But he was spearheading this, and he used a lot of our data to present to the Board of Supervisors, and he used that and other data from other districts, and that allowed this grant to be funded not only by the Board of Supervisors, but a lot of other outside entities, too. So Linda is working with the principals on that grant for additional hubs at their school sites. And. And it's a quick turnaround. It's a quick turnaround. It's due what, the fifth, I think. Linda, is it the fifth next week? It's due right away. So she's working with principals right now, and she explained about what it was about and who it's for. And so hopefully there'll be some. As I know parents don't think this is in person, but it is a support for Our students, students. And it's not a credentialed teacher like we have in the classroom, but it was one of our guest teachers who's been trained by our staff development people, spearheaded by Linda. And it serves a purpose for those students who cannot be in front of a screen all day long without any support work from home or who are just feeling very anxious, who are feeling depressed, which you read the research, they need to be in these social settings. And it's really, truly providing that for some of our students. So I'm thankful that, you know, the money is out there for some additional ones. Thankful that Linda's going to lead this for our district and thank for the principals that are going to put forth the energy to get this, to get some of these dollars from this grant. I don't know how much and total there is. Linda, did you read in the grant how much there is?"},{"start":7537580,"end":7541220,"speaker":"A","text":"I. I didn't read that. I didn't see how much there was."},{"start":7541220,"end":7627630,"speaker":"C","text":"I was trying to see what, looking at that too, is actually there because it's among, I think, San Mateo county schools. So. But it's an application process. So there's that piece and just a big shout out to also the nurses that are doing so much work, along with Antonio and Erin, helping us out with the testing, helping us out also when there's any types of concerns or issues regarding Covid. Plus, we're going to have student nurses. Thank you to Andrea and her group. These student nurses are going to be available, I guess, starting in another week after they've had their COVID test. And as I noted at the last board meeting, I was hoping, as this vaccine process was running down the road, that I had volunteered our nurses to be the ones to give out shots because the entities, the HMOs, the PPOs that we were talking to said they didn't have enough staff. They asked us for our nurses and I said, sure. And Wendy said you can use these tools, student nurses that can go get the vaccines also. But I'm grateful that they're going to be with us and they're also going to be helping us with our COVID testing at our school sites. So it's going to be great. So, Andrea, thank you for getting that all together for us and a great big thank."},{"start":7633150,"end":7678920,"speaker":"A","text":"All right, thank you. Okay, so let's see. Information.
