And so my response was that it is actually noted in ED code and so we would follow ED code of course. And there is also other public comment opportunity for the transportation plan that's planned for the future in the form of a Google form and other types of venues similar to the LCAP where there's stakeholder input. And so we will follow ED code properly in that."},{"start":324290,"end":335410,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah, thanks for answering that. And I did.

That is regarding nutrition, the next board policy on the docket and I was going to explain why the both of them are in there."},{"start":406040,"end":413160,"speaker":"G","text":"So on 11.2 is it new that we're paying parents for the delta between our transport expense?"},{"start":415800,"end":416560,"speaker":"F","text":"That's not new."},{"start":416560,"end":417080,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay,"},{"start":420040,"end":421240,"speaker":"E","text":"which page are you on?"},{"start":421720,"end":433620,"speaker":"G","text":"Page 2 of 3540.

So with that Moving on to 11.3 first reading and discussion of board policy 3555 nutrition program compliance. Okay."},{"start":470110,"end":540499,"speaker":"E","text":"As you can see there is various updates regarding prohibiting discrimination and so forth. But I did want to address the question regarding the option one option two and that can be found I'll go into that more detail that is noted for those that are following along here on page three. And it is in regards to when there is a complaint regarding non compliance and we already have this in our uniform Complaint process and follow it to the T. And there is a requirement to report to the USDA regarding any complaints for food service. And so the committee discussed utilizing option one because that aligns with our current board policy. However, option two is is an option that is available. It just has more steps to it than what is written in our ucp. That is why option one was the recommendation because we need to follow that. Anyway,"},{"start":547710,"end":555310,"speaker":"D","text":"I thought it made sense to align the policies and follow what we have for the UNI Uniform Complaint Procedure."},{"start":555390,"end":555870,"speaker":"B","text":"Yeah."},{"start":560350,"end":566830,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay.

Yes."},{"start":575580,"end":588860,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you. Okay with that if there are no more questions. Moving on to 11.4 first reading and discussion of board policy 4030 Non discrimination and employment."},{"start":589580,"end":607560,"speaker":"E","text":"So this particular policy comes often to the board and so this was the latest update. I believe the last one was was last year and it's just an update to new law SB523 regarding not taking into account reproductive health. Decision making in regards to the employment process"},{"start":611000,"end":611960,"speaker":"D","text":"looked good to me."},{"start":613720,"end":621480,"speaker":"A","text":"Great. Thank you. Moving on to 11.5 first reading and discussion of board policy 5142 safety."},{"start":623480,"end":687790,"speaker":"E","text":"So we did have a question that Trustee Wells asked which was great. Regarding the item on whether or not it's in the ARS actually. But it's important to discuss and that's why we include the ARS Typically our board votes on the board policy, but I think it's helpful to bring these along to see how it's implemented. But one question came up that was are teachers always present in the classroom 30 minutes before school starts? And, and, and because what this does state is that the door shall open to admit students not less than 30 minutes. So our contract with the union says 15 minutes, but there is staff on site. So I think to better align on the second reading, I'd prefer to bring it back to say 15 minutes. That would be my recommendation on this one. And the board has authorization to make that change, even though it's noted here."},{"start":688830,"end":689870,"speaker":"C","text":"Where is it in the policy?"},{"start":690670,"end":691550,"speaker":"E","text":"It's in the ar."},{"start":692270,"end":693310,"speaker":"C","text":"But where, Which."},{"start":693470,"end":705550,"speaker":"E","text":"Oh, for safety on the ars.

Thank you for that catch."},{"start":716700,"end":722380,"speaker":"D","text":"Well, thank you for reviewing that part. I realized that wasn't part of the changes that were being presented here, nor"},{"start":722380,"end":723500,"speaker":"B","text":"part of the policy. But."},{"start":723820,"end":724980,"speaker":"D","text":"But I was glad that we were"},{"start":724980,"end":734280,"speaker":"E","text":"able to address it, especially when it states teachers specifically versus staff. Then that's understood."},{"start":734510,"end":738590,"speaker":"G","text":"I. I had a few questions about this one. Sorry, I didn't manage to email them in advance."},{"start":738990,"end":739390,"speaker":"E","text":"Sure."},{"start":739710,"end":750990,"speaker":"G","text":"Yeah. So just two different categories of questions. One is this seems to be the first time I've seen mention of a cybersecurity policy. Is this the first time that we've incorporated a need for cyber review in the policies?"},{"start":750990,"end":751470,"speaker":"F","text":"Yeah."},{"start":751870,"end":758830,"speaker":"G","text":"Do we have a current like cybersecurity guidance or would this be after this gets blessed?"},{"start":758830,"end":770410,"speaker":"B","text":"We have to go forward. We do have one that Kyle put together prior to him leaving. Kyle was the previous, but it needs to be reviewed again by Rick and his team."},{"start":771210,"end":815560,"speaker":"G","text":"Cool. I'd love to help with that however I can. By the way, the other different category question was around sports and safety there and certain extra new restrictions on different categories of sports and things like rocketeering. So I was just curious if this was going to materially impact activities that are happening in the school or school clubs today. Like if this was going to introduce a extra friction for any of the student clubs that maybe they had been able to do things and now they're not able to do things. I just want to make sure that before we charge forward with this. This all sounds reasonable in theory. Be nice to know a little bit of like how in practice could this materially change the student activities that are being performed on campuses and are we restricting that?"},{"start":815960,"end":881230,"speaker":"E","text":"Right. So the next step after the board approves. Well, first of all, this is an update. So this has been in the policy for some time now. And so this particular section notes that these items that are listed here on page 6 are not permitted unless the activity is properly supervised. The students are wearing protective gear and the team talked about that. The committee, excuse me, because we were talking about helmets for certain activities here that came up. Remember which one? It was Janet, but oh, the roller skates. And you know, we now have, in the safe routes to school piece, which I'll talk about later here is these bike rodeos. So these activities that happen. Rocketeering is so much fun and we have done it in the past, but it is absolutely well thought out and how this works. Plus, after this is passed, the update will go to the principals and reviewed so that they can, you know, in their planning purposes and so forth, can plan accordingly."},{"start":881310,"end":881710,"speaker":"B","text":"Right."},{"start":882190,"end":893690,"speaker":"G","text":"The main thing that concerned me was the bit about like each participant has insurance coverage. Just like, oh, if, if that was going to create new friction points for things like rocketeering clubs or any of"},{"start":893690,"end":895650,"speaker":"F","text":"the body contact sports, I don't recall"},{"start":895650,"end":898290,"speaker":"E","text":"that being an issue. Rick, maybe you have more thoughts on that."},{"start":898290,"end":901690,"speaker":"G","text":"I just want to make sure we don't accidentally kill Rocket Club because that would be sad."},{"start":902170,"end":902730,"speaker":"B","text":"Very sad."},{"start":902730,"end":905890,"speaker":"E","text":"Yeah, we're covered, Rick."},{"start":905890,"end":943790,"speaker":"A","text":"Right. Okay. And while we're on this subject, I'm rereading this and I realize that although it talks about wearing protective gear and if each participant has insurance, I know one thing very important, insurance wise, is that we do have parents sign the liability form and it doesn't specify. So I don't know whether we want to add it because I know it could be a liability to the district if we are negligent to, you know, if we don't have the parents signing that form."},{"start":945710,"end":954830,"speaker":"B","text":"So Rick, if we could look into that, that'd be great. Especially with Smixing. Smixig is the insurance company for the San Mateo County."},{"start":959230,"end":962110,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay. No more questions or comments."},{"start":963560,"end":980120,"speaker":"E","text":"Cecilia, may I just ask a clarifying question on your comment? So is your recommendation that in the ARS we consider a permission slip form to be signed for these risky high risk activities that are noted here? Safety risk. Excuse me."},{"start":980120,"end":980600,"speaker":"A","text":"Yes."},{"start":991570,"end":992050,"speaker":"E","text":"Thank you."},{"start":993330,"end":1002610,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you. So Moving along to 11.6, first reading and discussion of board policy 5142.2 Safe Routes to School program."},{"start":1003330,"end":1186670,"speaker":"E","text":"Well, on this note, I would really like to thank Martin Cervantes, our director of facilities and Petrinia Red, our director of health and wellness that serve on the Safe Routes to School committee along with trustee McAvoy it I have to say I'm pleased that there was a slow rollout. There's a lot of talk during the end of the pandemic to try and get people to come to school in different fashion than a car. But a lot took off this year and I think a lot much of this has to do with Safe Routes to School designated a person, Jackie, who's wonderful in assisting our district with the rollout of educating families and going to PTO meetings and really helping the school principal get that movement off the ground. So I do want to take a moment to thank them for that. But this board policy here, as you can see, is one to consider. We did have one question on it. I know that you've reviewed it already, but one trustee asked how are we operationalizing equitable access and opportunity to participate in the district Safe Routes to School program? And so while we have representatives on the committee, there's also Schools are informed about Safe Routes to School Events day for the 2223 school year that included initial contact at start of school year, including a survey that was done. They're reminded about upcoming events and encouraged to sign up for incentives through San Mateo County Office of Education. About three to four weeks prior to all of the entire district were included in the fall student travel tally data collection so they could get a firm understanding of where the desires were, what the barriers were to utilize these programs. They so far have participated at six RCSD PTO meetings as of May 10th. And Jackie, the representative shares youth Unlimited information and other Safe Routes to School resources through outreach at Hoover and Taft's monthly food distribution. She has also supported Roy Cloud and the Bike PED training for third and fourth graders in March and is working with RCSD to implement the training in additional schools. There have been four total Bike Rodeos where students learn how to ride a bike or help navigate the safety pieces regarding riding a bike and being a bike rider in the community. And that happened at Hoover, Adelante, Orion and Taft. And then there was a bike Pedestrian safety Music notes assembly for Henry Ford students in May and then just monthly communication trainings and opportunities that are sent out to families via email and Peach Jar. That was one question I had and the answer to that one are there any other questions or comments about this particular policy?"},{"start":1187230,"end":1206450,"speaker":"D","text":"Thanks for answering the question and that explaining that, you know this is sort of gaining momentum. I think that getting that baseline data and really understanding where the barriers are, I think that's one of the ways that will really help operationalize the equitable approach. So we'll look forward to see how the program continues to grow over the next few years."},{"start":1206450,"end":1206810,"speaker":"B","text":"Thanks."},{"start":1207130,"end":1218650,"speaker":"A","text":"Welcome.

Language."},{"start":1250760,"end":1264200,"speaker":"D","text":"I didn't have any comments, but thank you policy committee for all the pre work that gets done to bring all of these to us.

Good evening members of the board. If it'd be okay, I'd like to talk about between point one through four simultaneously because they are all related and only broken out because of our charter schools. AB 841, which enacted the Cal Shape program, provides money to schools to repair. The big ones that we're looking at is H VAC systems, filters and then plumbing. A month and a half ago, I think late, maybe late February, early March, we passed the resolution that sets the process forward for the H VAC work and the filters. Those monies were approved. And so now we're working for to get the paperwork in to receive that money to do that work in all of our school sites, including the charters. This is focusing specifically on old and outdated and aging plumbing that will allow us to use the monies that you see in each resolution allocated to the district, roughly $600,000 in smaller amounts for our charter schools to immediately address plumbing needs. So each of these resolutions are needed to move forward because of the charter school eligibility, but they are on our properties.

I only have one thing to report."},{"start":1474550,"end":1474910,"speaker":"F","text":"Oh."},{"start":1474910,"end":1504530,"speaker":"D","text":"First of all, happy Teacher Appreciation Week. It's staff recognition Month, but it's Teacher Appreciation Week. It's California's Day of the teacher and it's the National School Nurse Day. We appreciate all our staff, but of course, you know, when the calendar aligns to these special days and special weeks, we want to make sure that we. We notice those as well. The only thing I had to report is I attended the chambers of San Mateo County's education committee meeting. Dr. Baker was there too. I did have to drop off a little bit early, so I didn't get"},{"start":1504530,"end":1505210,"speaker":"G","text":"to hear your report."},{"start":1505210,"end":1526950,"speaker":"D","text":"Maybe there's more to report back from it. Most of what I heard was County Superintendent Nancy McGee giving sort of a recap of her presentation of Climate Ready Schools Ready Students. It's the one that Elisa talked about from the progress seminar and the slides came out in the meeting notes. So if you want that I can. I can. Maybe I'll. You probably got them too and you could pass them along. Yeah."},{"start":1526950,"end":1527270,"speaker":"B","text":"Okay."},{"start":1528150,"end":1537110,"speaker":"D","text":"I heard a little bit. They also talked a little bit about a speak up program that was. Sounded interesting. It's only in San Carlos, but that was about it. And then. And then I had to run because we'd hit the hour."},{"start":1541040,"end":1541920,"speaker":"C","text":"I have nothing to report."},{"start":1544320,"end":1658970,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. And for me I have for the first time. And I do appreciate Jorge, Michelle and Dr. Baker. We they at the Spanish Superintendent Advisory Council. So we usually meet at 6pm for with the Spanish speaking parents and then move on to 6:30 with all of them in it. And then we. They have translation. And so in order for us to try to get more Spanish speaking parents involved. We held our first Spanish speaking only superintendent advisory council council at Taft last week and that was a good turnout. We did have some more school sites Crescent, so that was really great. And we talked about the same topic on mental health as we did the week prior with our English speakers. And then the other thing to report is I went to the Child Nutrition services committee meeting and Rick, if I miss anything, but I think, oh, and David, you were there too. Actually, you forgot to say that we were both there. And I do think that child nutrition department has gone above and beyond and they talked about the high protein breakfast that they're now offering to our kids. And then the third through eighth grade milk dispenser pilot program that has actually reduced the milk waste from 57% to 11%. That was awesome. And then we also talked about disposable utensils. And that's, you know, a conversation moving forward. I probably missed some points. And Rick, you can perhaps tap into those, please. Thank you."},{"start":1659610,"end":1737980,"speaker":"F","text":"Sure. I think a couple of other ideas that were talked about, or I'll say discussion topics was the review we went through from Wellness in schools where they went through all of our kitchens, working with staff and evaluating, not necessarily staff, but our menus and our preparation methods, and issued a report late December, early January that really showed that we were on the right path with recommendations they would have made if we weren't doing it, that we were in the process of that. Right. And to your point, President Marquez, you know, what CNS has been doing and trying to change the food program by implementing quick scratch and looking at different ways for scratch cooking and bringing new, even new vegetables and fruit options to our students is quite remarkable even in the time since I've been here. So I think there's a lot of good work going that was, you know, talked about in that committee group as well as where we're going in the future with those programs and trying to accomplish not only for better food, but also higher participation at the schools for both breakfast and lunch."},{"start":1739740,"end":1768120,"speaker":"G","text":"And I'm actually just realizing because I thought it was maybe before the last board meeting was just after that I toured the kitchenette Orion, met with Sodexo and had a conversation with the Nutrition services team, just noting some of the issues they were having, brainstorming with them about some potential solutions to labor, prodding Sodexo to think about central kitchen and just what could do to prepare even fresher food for our kids. So yeah,"},{"start":1772040,"end":1839110,"speaker":"B","text":"great. Okay. So there was the climate committee with RCTA and Wendy attended with myself and it was our last one for the school year. And topics that were brought up were definitely to remind you May 30th is the music concert. There's a lot of work going into that and that'll be at, you know, Sequoia. And they're what, what's the name of the hall that's over there? Carrington Hall. Be at Carrington Hall. And then they reminded us to make sure because the music teach, extra music teachers and the STEAM teachers being hired that they have their own classrooms. And we both agreed, yes, they're having their own classroom, but it's not as if it's a free for all for new additional teachers coming in. So we talked about that. And then they're holding CPR classes on September 16th for all RCTA members. It's a collaboration between RCTA and I'm sure Patrina is involved in this also with the, with the information and the setting up and for CPR and all that business."},{"start":1839110,"end":1843790,"speaker":"E","text":"If I'm not mistaken, it's joined between the district and RCTA. Yes."},{"start":1844280,"end":1934360,"speaker":"B","text":"And then they're having their RCTA retirement on May 22nd. Ours is June 1st and there's on the 22nd. And there was a bit of a discussion but nothing was really just there was no decision made on do we continue these meetings as we're doing them now, should we do something different? So it was just kind of left hanging until the fall. So that was that meeting. And then I attended the Stanford Collaborative which has been in place with Stanford and all the feeder districts feeding into Sequoia High School District regarding long term English Language learners. What has come from that collaboration is that we, all of us that feed into Sequoia High School District have the same criteria to reclassify our students at this point in time. Which is great, took seven years, but we got there. All of us, all of us are on the same page now. So that was that meeting. And then last night I was at rcaf, their board meeting and they were discussing where they are with their funding. They're still seeking another 100k to continue to what they're doing to continue what they're doing right now for our Bayside schools and do believe with a few activities coming up in the next few weeks and then also in the summer that they're going to make their mark. So that was it for me at this point in time."},{"start":1936200,"end":1945560,"speaker":"A","text":"Great, thank you. And then moving on to our information items. 15.1 Redwood City School District review of KIPP's second interim financial report."},{"start":1947960,"end":1969630,"speaker":"F","text":"Good evening. Items 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 are the second interim reports for our independent charter schools in the district. All three of the schools have complied with the requirements of the second interim report and we're, we're passing those on for information to the board tonight."},{"start":1974670,"end":1989940,"speaker":"D","text":"Thank you for putting them together for doing the audit. You know, it's twice, three times a year. I can't remember that it has to happen and comes before us. The letters are always easy to read and helpful. So thanks, thanks for the work that you did in your team, of course, putting this together."},{"start":1990020,"end":2001060,"speaker":"F","text":"Yeah, big credit to the team up there. They do 99% of the work on the charter school review. So shout out to Patty and Kimberly and Maria and Heather, the team."},{"start":2002900,"end":2019710,"speaker":"A","text":"Great, thank you. And any correspondence. Oh, that's right, I'm sorry, yes. 15.4. Information on Administrative Regulation 5131. Use of Seclusion and restraint."},{"start":2020510,"end":2045440,"speaker":"E","text":"So the board policy committee wanted to bring this forward tonight. It's administrative regulations, so this is why it's on information specifically. But there is no board policy correlated to this particular ar, which is unusual. We had to check that. But our director of Special ed reviewed and our attorneys reviewed this in order to give guidance and training for our staff on, on these items."},{"start":2045440,"end":2056680,"speaker":"A","text":"So, And so item 16, correspondence. We did get a few emails,"},{"start":2061240,"end":2062280,"speaker":"F","text":"One regarding."},{"start":2067000,"end":2067640,"speaker":"D","text":"The Reach program."},{"start":2067640,"end":2068800,"speaker":"C","text":"There's one on the Reach program too."},{"start":2068800,"end":2081140,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah, the Reach program. Thanks for. A couple of people jumped on that, responded really quickly, which helpful to see all that information, I think Michelle and also Jennifer. Jennifer, yeah."},{"start":2081220,"end":2106920,"speaker":"B","text":"Yeah, we met yesterday then. We also met yesterday as a group to discuss what, how that took place at that school site, you know, at Henry Ford. And then we're also working with Orion because there's also some information that's going out to parents that isn't quite correct. So we're fixing that also."},{"start":2107080,"end":2113360,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah, there was also an email kind of following up on an earlier one about students experiencing dyslexia."},{"start":2113360,"end":2120120,"speaker":"B","text":"And I think that this will be addressing that. And we also met with that individual."},{"start":2120840,"end":2121200,"speaker":"G","text":"Yeah."},{"start":2121200,"end":2129290,"speaker":"D","text":"But it's nice to see how all the pieces were already in motion coming together with like CRLP and the changes that are being made there. So that's good."},{"start":2132160,"end":2144800,"speaker":"G","text":"I did get a follow up note from a parent who had earlier written into the whole board about the Odyssey preschool program vis a vis priority admissions into the MI program."},{"start":2144960,"end":2174560,"speaker":"B","text":"Right, we are working on that one. Too obvious. I think that was in place but now is no longer. And so I need to work with schools of choice to determine, you know, that should not be occurring. And so we have to. And I've spoken with Catherine and Catherine has all the background information and why that is not happening anymore. So that's a piece that needs to get out to the community."},{"start":2180960,"end":2250450,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you. And then any other business possible, other business suggested items for future agendas. I know I have one. And being that this is staff teachers recognition week, months or month or weeks, I would like to, if it's possible to honor our classified staff our. At our next board meeting on the 24th. And then I don't know how that would come about on the agenda, but I think again, we. We always recognize everyone because we do care for all staff teachers and classified staff as well. But I think it's time they get recognized by the board. And so one of the things too is, I would like to say is perhaps if maybe they can get an invitation. I mean, obviously not all of them would probably join, but I want them to be aware that we do care about our classified staff. So if that's a possibility, that would be great."},{"start":2251810,"end":2252850,"speaker":"F","text":"Right. So why don't."},{"start":2262390,"end":2262550,"speaker":"B","text":"You."},{"start":2265180,"end":2296460,"speaker":"D","text":"And it's timely because that's the week for classified school employees. Week will be our 24th meeting. And I just want to say that of course we appreciate our classified staff and it was really nice to see, for example, the grounds team, you know, recognized specifically at our last board meeting. We've done that before. And it's not just the individual teams we know, it's the whole system that has to work together. Both classified administrator, teachers and everybody together. But. But absolutely, you know, part of the heartbeat of the school."},{"start":2301900,"end":2307900,"speaker":"A","text":"Okay. And then do we have any changes to the board meeting, that calendar? We don't."},{"start":2308780,"end":2314620,"speaker":"C","text":"Can I just make a note on the dates at the bottom of the agenda? The very last one should be June 28th."},{"start":2326460,"end":2332860,"speaker":"A","text":"Great. Well, with that it is 7:42. Does someone want to make a motion to adjourn?"},{"start":2332860,"end":2333460,"speaker":"F","text":"I move to."},{"start":2333460,"end":2334380,"speaker":"D","text":"I move to adjourn."},{"start":2336620,"end":2337260,"speaker":"C","text":"I'll second."},{"start":2337660,"end":2341740,"speaker":"A","text":"All those in favor.
