I okay we have um two two uh speakers
cards for all three speakers cards for
oral
communication um first is Anna
salorio so you have three minutes
oh yeah thank you good evening dear
board members and administrators my name
is s salorio and I'm the classified
member president with me are some of the
members in our negotiation team we are
making progress with different articles
in our contract negotiations for the 23
24 school year but one thing is still
missing a fair race for our dedicated
classified staff of nearly 400
individuals who are the backbone of the
School of this school district the
district team shared with us this board
appr Pro $50,000 to be used in some
aticles we cost for the district for the
entire classified Personnel this along
with the 4% rise that our teacher
receive for the 23 24 school year in
reality this is not enough and doesn't
reflect the value classified member
spring we were told a mere 1% increase
for just one classified group group like
par Educators reportedly consumes that
entire amount this make us wonder
doesn't our work matter just as much
teachers and administrators rightfully
enjoy benefits not available to class
classify staff but but we are all here
for the same reason to help our students
and parents ensure schools run smoothly
keep our classrooms clean and safe to
supp
Educators we are the foundation upon
which a quality education is built today
we are you to reconsider the amount you
approved to negotiate with us a fair
contract for classified members is an
investment in the success of our entire
District it demonstrate your
appreciation for our tireless work and
commitment let's work together on a deal
that is fair for everyone and that
reflects the value we bring every single
day thank you for your time and your
thoughtful
consideration thank you um Maria you can
you can step your card is next so
oh okay thank you Maria Stockton uh
member of RC or CA chapter 5 California
School Employees Association I was going
to talk on a different subject but Anna
brought something up that I think is
important that I need clarification on
because I'm also the chief Union steward
and so I need
clarification uh one of the things
that's came to our attention is
classified members uh are not permitted
to take leave of absences even though
it's in our contract we
can we have been denied to take leave of
absences we had a person whose mother
was very very ill she asked for leave of
absence was told classify don't get
leave of absences she had to
resign so she signed the paper to go to
take care of her mother two days later
her mother passed away she came back to
the district to ask for her resignation
to be rescinded and she was told no the
district had her work over a year every
single day as a substitute without
benefits while her position remained
vacant we also had an employee who came
up with a bad disease he was having
difficulty so he asked the district if
he could have a leave of absence for
three months only so he could get his
retirement together we were told that a
letter res a letter would have to go
before the
board few days later we were told the
board denied this employee the leave for
three
months we're a little confused of who
makes that decision is it you board
members that look over the needs of the
classified employee and that are asking
for your assistance or is it somebody in
the district making that decision we'd
like to have a little bit more
compassion because you have some very
dedicated people who work very hard and
they need a break and when they have an
ill member that they have to stress over
and it's a decision of them giving up
their job and not having an income or
staying here and allowing the member of
their family to get worse I think is
really un un acceptable by the board and
I wish that they would really take more
consideration if indeed these letters
and these requests go to the board for
approval
I thank you very
much we can we can clarify or
clarify normally we can't respond during
this time of oral communication but
there be a clarification so if that's
right yeah Wendy do you want to clarify
I was just going to say that I can reach
out tomorrow to talk to you further
about your
concerns um and review contract language
that applies to leaves for csca
employees and the re responsibilities of
the board um that's written in the
contract language and we can discuss it
together okay okay you also uh are put
in writing the process of how it goes
before the board okay thank you thank
you Wendy um and our final speaker card
is for Mike swi who um is online with
his hand raised right now so if somebody
can give him permission to
speak hi Mike hey can you hear me yes
you have three minutes awesome thank you
um for the time to speak and thank you
to the board for your service to the
Redwood City educational uh Community uh
I think it was the last meeting I issued
a public comment or or notice for um
hopefully future business asking the
board to agendize a change of name and
removal of the name Henry Ford from um
the school in the Redwood City District
I mentioned at that time that it had
been uh almost a year I think it's a
year now since I had first contacted the
board Andor the district asking that it
remove the name of Henry Ford one of the
worst anti-semites and Nazi sympathizers
of the early 20th century from the name
of the school in the district and had
not had any followup from uh the
district at that time um I want to thank
uh now I'd like to thank um trustee
David Weekley who um immediately
responded to the email that I sent after
the meeting I appreciate uh the trustees
rapid response um I thank him for
speaking out in that email against
anti-Semitism um I thank him for uh the
kind words on the importance of making
sure the anti-Semitism does not impact
the children uh in the Redwood City
School District and um although though
uh it's still TBD in terms of how this
is going to get resolved I appreciate
the rapid response and this is what I
would um expect from a board member
that's responsive to the public
unfortunately I did not receive any
response um from anyone else on the
board or in the school district despite
my public comment and uh my email um
that includes president Janet Lawson
vice president Mike Wells trustee Elisa
green McAvoy trusty Cecilia Marquez and
superintendent Dr John Baker did not
receive any response from them I'm um
disappointed at that and I hope this is
not a signal that you believe that Henry
Ford is worthy of continued uh
continuing to be honored by the Redwood
City School District I don't believe
that's the case but even if you believe
that he should not be honored I would
urge you to take immediate action
instead of relying on the local school
Community to take action hopefully you
think that this is an egregious enough
matter that the board should step in the
name's been in place for decades and she
um change has not happened to date so I
would expect the board to take action uh
as the school has not which is the
current
policy um or at least the policy has
stated um I would like to follow up with
you guys um through another email and
I'm hoping for a response that let lets
me know whether or not you support a
change to the Henry Ford school name and
how that process uh can move forward um
thank you so much for listening and for
creating a community that's truly
inclusive for all members of the
community
and um honoring those who Merit it and
not honoring those that don't thank
you thank you um that was end of oral
communication and so that moves us to
6.1 approval of measure s architectural
pool uh good evening Lord members uh
tonight we're bringing forward uh the AR
architectural pool for measor s uh
joining me uh is one of our bond program
managers uh Eric velt who will give
details on uh the process uh the
procedure and moving forward so if Eric
is available please jump in thank you
Rick I appreciate the introduction good
evening board good evening
superintendent trustees and Community um
as Rick stated today we're bringing
forth the uh the pool of architectural
fors for measure s um we're excited
because this is is one of the very
crucial first steps of a bond program to
get designers on board and ready to
begin working with us so Professional
Service pools are um are allowed through
uh public contract code um to uh be
established for school districts um the
process is the district issues an RFP a
request for proposals um they receive
proposals from uh various architectural
firms the proposals are then evaluated
by the district um and the district is
able to select any number of firms that
they would like from uh from that group
um to be part of its architectural pool
once that pool is established um it the
uh district is then able to either
select Architects from that pool to
provide services based on their
qualifications for specific projects or
they are able to issue another RFP an
informal smaller RFP to just the pool
members um it allows the District to be
nimble and allows the district to be
quick on its execution of projects out
of this pool versus having to submit
formal rfps for every single project
individual um so with that said on March
1st of 2024 the RP was issued for the
pool of Architects for measure s um
there were 21 respondents which is a
great number of respondents um it shows
an excitement about the projects here
and uh Redwood City it shows also um the
the respect of the community house for
the business services department uh
wanting to do business with the school
district so that that was a real
positive experience um we received all
21 of those proposals they were all um
they were all qualified responses all
qualified firms um the Rick uh Martin
and the facilities team reviewed the
proposals and selected uh six firms to
be a part of the architectural pool for
measure s CW Architects H Architects
hkit Architects HMC Architects quatrro
qua Architects and pbk
Architects um these uh these six firms
uh scored the best in um the system in
the rfps that were responded to and we
are recommending their approval to be in
the pool of Architects there's no
financi commitment at this time this is
just establishing that initial pool and
then projects will be distributed among
these Architects as they become
available um we have distributed the
first informal RP um for the um Master
planning services to this pool and we'll
bringing we'll be bringing that contract
back for approval at the next board
meeting once the final selection is
completed um with that said I will turn
it over turn it back to uh the board if
you have any questions or comments
thanks so much um any comments or
questions from the board go yeah just I
have a small one it looks like there's a
number of uh good companies in the pool
um just uh Curious procedurally like how
many companies were cut like did did we
was this a selective process where we
looked at a wide range of companies and
then used the rubric that I'm seeing you
represent here thank you um to whittle
some out or did it just happen that all
of the companies that we at past our
rubric um no you're you're exactly right
um we used the rubric to whittle some
out um uh so we received 21 and we
landed on six different firms so there
were 15 that were left out you try to
strike a little bit of a balance you
don't want to have too many in the pool
and just have people in the pool who
you're not who aren't going to get
projects for the life of the bond it
just doesn't make sense and so you want
to get down to uh to the best firms that
fit for the district that makes perfect
sense thank you so much
no
problem yeah
goe hi uh Eric thank you very much for
the presentation and uh looks like uh
you know that's that's great news that
we had 21 Architects interested in
working with us um that is a a big
number I think probably for a lot of
school districts to get um it looks like
the six are you know good in terms of
your rubric the one thing I wanted to
bring up and it it may be too early but
you know it's probably never too early
just planning but you know one of the
things we talked about at the last uh
Bond agenda item that we had just around
kind of oh I think well was planning and
such um since then I was able to attend
uh a sustainability kind of climate
ready Symposium that the Sano County
Office of Ed uh put together last week
and uh there were a lot of good ideas
and resources coming out of there
including one of the key things was
early planning and all of this is really
important um in the architectural plans
to really look at you know we talked
about this at the last meeting but I
think I know our board has talked about
and I just want to reemphasize it
particularly as you're talking to the
Architects and we move forward in the
facility's master plan and what have you
is that I think this board is really
interested in any sort of um you know
Green Schools climate ready um where we
can reduce energy I mean even it'd be
amazing if we could get to you know we
are producing all of our own energy
sources storing uh because of all the
storms and other things that we know are
going on um and that would help reduce
um the impact on the general fund that
then would free up monies for our
operations which is exactly kind of
salaries and other things that we heard
from earlier tonight so anyway um I just
want to reemphasize that one of the
things that I learned was that uh a lot
of this well not a lot well some of the
schools in Sano County particularly um
well there's there's a Sano County
Office of Ed but Cabrio actually um our
neighbor at the coast is one out of 10
getting the highest ranking one out of
10 in the United States out of all the
schools getting um the highest ranking
and the way they moved is they actually
followed the Green School the federal
Green School application if you start to
look at what the rubric is there to
actually get the they have different
categories that you can work towards
that's a really good way to think about
what are the things we're going to need
from a facility standpoint there's other
things that have to do more with
curriculum and that sort of thing but I
just want to encourage us to really look
at that early and often I think it'll be
a good guiding post that would help us
um not only become more green and set a
good example for our community but also
potentially save us money long term and
kind of do the right thing with climate
and and be more climate ready as we know
we're moving into warmer days and stuff
um so I do have a resource list along
with all the Powerpoints Eric that I
would like to send you um I think I sent
it to Rick or Rick you can send it to
Eric okay all right thank you awesome
thank thank you very much and and just
to tie that back to this item we did ask
for sustainability information from all
these firms as part of their proposal so
we did we we definitely kept an eye on
that with the proposal and we've got a
very good team here that's great thank
you thank
you thanks Eric this looks like a good
selection process um the rubric makes
sense and it's it was good to hear about
the number of respondents and and the
selection process there so then on the
22nd or board meeting on the 22nd we'll
have the successful respondent for the
facility Master Plan update is that when
we'll start putting kind of timelines
together around Community engagement and
getting feedback from the schools
getting principls communities you know
families and neighbors involved in the
process um I'm just trying to figure out
like the the when does the wind start
happening
yeah absolutely so it's going to be a
little bit of a whirlwind after we after
we have that next board meeting um we'll
have the the proposed contract and the
proposed firm coming forward to you um
and it will it'll start to happen quick
we'll start to build some momentum then
um but yes that will be when we talk
about schedule as part of that initial
informal RFP that we had for the master
plan that we're doing the evaluations on
now that we'll be bringing the contract
forward with we did ask them to include
a schedule a minary schedule obviously
once we get them under contract we'll
work on that schedule make sure zero in
a little bit more on dates but they've
got a preliminary schedule that will be
included with that contract and we'll be
able to speak to it at the next board
meeting about what's going to happen
when and the dates that we're Target the
key dates that we're targeting for the
facility master plan great yeah I mean
the steps that are happening right now
are kind of foundational for setting the
program up to go but it's going to be
pretty exciting to start seeing things
accelerate so ABS absolutely it's
there's a lot of procedure at the
beginning but once we build momentum
it'll start going
fast CIA did you have any questions or
col of course um like everyone said
thank you so much for the process uh of
course to Martin and Rick um to be part
of the election I know it's very
important so again thank you and I look
forward to working with everyone um in
the near
future so thank you Eric for um bringing
this to us and thank you Rick um these
look like some great firms I was
checking out some of the work they've
done um especially around um the
education facilities kind of in our area
and um across the bay and looks like
they've done some fantastic projects
that we're um looking at doing also and
focused on sustainability and and all
that too so looks like some high quality
firms that that you've brought to
us with that said this is an action
item I believe yeah I'll make a motion
to approve the architectural pool
seconded thank you all those in favor I
I great thank you so much um we are in
7.1 information on 2223 financial and
performance audits building fund measure
TNS for rcsd uh good evening as I P the
presentation I'd like to introduce
Angela Lee from M Bailey who is our uh
auditing firm that does both our
District's General audit as well as aits
for major uh S&T uh she'll be presenting
on uh the outcome of those audits for
the 2223 school
year good evening board and
superintendent I'm Angela Le I'm one of
the audit manager um who do the district
audit and the bond audit um today
present to you is the financial
statement for measure T and measure s
and also the performance audit for
measure t for physical year
2023 next
slide um to explain a little a little
bit uh about the different
responsibility between auditor and the
management teams uh as a auditor we um
we form we gather information and
forming expressing opinions uh based on
um the information that we uh receive
from the management teams um the
management teams are responsible for
completeness and accuracy of the
financial statements and maintaining um
internal controls um per financial
reporting and compliance with the law
and
regulations next
slide um this explain about the timing
of the uh Bond audit the district Clos
the book during uh June um to August we
start the district audit um during
September to October um the district y
financial statement is um issued during
um December and we usually will do the
bond audit together with the district
audit but we um since the bond audit is
a March deadline so we always wrap up
the report and anything like Penning
item during January and February so this
year the um performance audit and the
financial audit are issue on the on time
uh before March
31st next
slide um so we have uh two uh different
report that we issue for Bond audit one
is financial statements audit that's two
one for measure T and and one for
measure s that's two separate report um
the financial statement uh opinion is
about uh whether um the financial
statement are prepared uh By Us gap
which is the uh Accounting Standards um
and for the performance audit it's only
we did for measure T last year because
only measure T has um expenditure
measure s there's no expenditure in
physical 23 only the insurance cost so
that's why that's only one performance
audit for measure te um to explain to
you a little bit about uh what we did on
measure te for performance audit um next
SL next
slide and next slide um for performance
audit we ensure that the fund were
expand on specific project that was um
listed in the ballot measure and also we
verify that the fund were expanded um
for the construction renovation
finishing and equipping of school
facility um on the allowable um auor
authorized Bond projects and we also
test and verify that um the fund were
used to pay salary of the district
employee were
allowable next
slide um to uh for the methodology we
did on performance audit we consider uh
policy and procedures that uh about uh
Payment Processing salary procurement
and beaing um any change order approval
and the C box um we only we sample some
vendor transaction for testing uh we
obtain the source document like Po
invoice uh warrants and the beaing
documents all those is to check um um
there's uh evidence for approval uh good
internal controls and also um the
procurement procedures was um uh was
align for the uh District policy and we
also Ral payroll HR and accounting
workers for salary that charge to the
bond program next slide um this is a
conclusion that we did on the
performance audit for measure te um for
all the sample that we select the
expenditure are aligned with the voter
approved the bond project list um the
payroll expenditure are allowable and
also we um we also ga evidence uh for
beaing and procurement procedures and we
um obtain all the evidence that um the
district are in
compliance next
slide um this is the result of our um of
our audit and the audit opinion uh the
opinion is a clean opinion um the
financial statement is fairly stated
there's no uh deficiency of internal
control and um the district is in
compliance for the uh performance audit
so that's the end of uh my presentation
but I'm open for any question about the
audit opinions or any question on the uh
measure s and measure T Financial
reports any questions or
comments made for some gripping reading
but nothing jumped out at me to be
honest
yeah yeah it looks like a a clean audit
as you said um it's an important part
yeah it's what we want you know it's I
think it's a you know it's a really
important part we we are entrusted with
our community's money to be able to
spend on on facility projects here and
the audit along with our bond oversight
committee are kind of two of the
mechanisms that we have in place to
ensure that you know everything is going
on right now I trust everybody here to
make the right decisions but it's very
important to have this so thank you very
much for doing the audit um helping make
sure that you know we're we're true to
our word and then also Dem giving us
these artifacts that demonstrate that
you you know the money's in good hands
and being well spent
thanks yeah thank you very much and
thank you um Rick I know it's a lot of
work for your department also and
probably I'm guessing Wendy's also the
HR work um working with Auditors and um
I say this every year but my husband
used to be an auditor so I know um some
of the the work that goes into that and
working you know with the other team
that has to provide the information for
you so thank you very much we appreciate
that work
yeah great thank
you that leads us to consent items and
just as a reminder we have put um 8.3 on
action make a motion to approve
consent second thank you all those in
favor I I
excellent so um 8.3 is the approval of
addendum number two to Ran's 2324
measure U application and um our speaker
is SU jensson so you can come to the
podium in three
minutes hello it shouldn't uh take three
minutes um I was poking around the
agenda today which I usually do um and
if I discovered it sooner I would have
sent uh emails because I didn't really
want to speak about it but on the
addendum for Orion it has um provid
stiens for teachers to lead and or
participate in School site Council that
struck me as such a conflict of interest
since the site
Council like they're the ones that
decide where the money goes and so
they're technically voting to give
themselves money um I try to look up Ed
code um Mike Wells I saw that you were
the contact for the the measure you
oversight um I tried to find any email
on one of them so I could actually
express my concerns that way um and I
don't know enough about this but it just
struck me as wrong so hopefully you'll
look into it before it's actually
approved to have money spent on measure
you going to site Council people that do
that so that's it thank
you thank you sue um
any we we can have a discussion on this
is
it's an action item uh it seems like
it's been regular practice before for um
staff to get stiens to be able to
participate in outside of working hours
um activities I wasn't sure maybe if you
could we had checked with Council prior
to this going forward on and there are
some other sites that do this with other
dollars also in their budget not just uh
measure you dollars and so conso said
with this to attract and retain I think
that's where they're
at it is feasible to use it in that
manner I'm just
a matter of process here like did this
go by um the folks there with uh
teachers who would be receiving the typ
and recusing themselves or just like
what was the process that was followed
to present this in front of the board I
guess is my question the process to
follow this bring this before the board
it goes before myself and Mike to make
sure that it is uh in line with what was
stated in the ballot and to make sure
that the X's are in the correct places
as they're spending these dollars but
School site School site Council ratified
this plan for presentation right now I'm
just curious that if a vote was taken
like at school site Council where
self-interested parties could recuse
themselves and still have I don't know
the answer to that question looking at
um the first page of the report um the
only person that abstained was the
principal I mean what's an interesting
question I mean I think it is an
interesting question right I mean it's
it's a very small amount of stien
because it's mostly for lots of other
stuff but you could also potentially
make the same argument what if you had a
librarian who's sitting on the site
Council and then they vote for an
amending amend amendment that has to do
with buying library books right so you
know it's sort of an interesting gray
area I suppose if you want to say
because you know any of the staff on
here and you could even potentially say
the um the parents who are then
benefiting from the program so I would
certainly say we just need to turn to
our
attorneys you know are you having
everybody recuse themselves for the
little bit that they would have some and
such a minor part I mean there the
teachers are G the teachers and the
staff are going to get a stip in one way
or the other so it's either coming out
of the measure this is you right yes the
measure youu funds or it's coming out of
another fund I mean we pay the stiens
right I mean that's part of the contract
we pay stiens and it's Accord what's on
the in contract language so it's
yeah so you did check with our attorneys
and this is fine the language that was
dwk we checked years ago okay this first
started yeah staff can get if you if
it's beyond your work hour you're
classified you get the
extra the overtime or whatever it's
called
okay sorry we can't have disc we can't
have a discussion up the
audience no okay we're gonna bring it
back to the board for any other
discussion or comments yeah it's for any
staff member it's not just teachers so
we will make that clear to the
principles and if this happened in the
past and someone didn't receive but we
can't go backwards
uh this is an action item uh so we need
a motion to
approve Mo yeah I'll second um all those
in favor I I any
opposed or
abstain thank you so we
are see 10.1 reports from board members
and superintendent
reports and board
members yeah okay I can start um yeah so
on uh on Friday I was up at Clifford uh

going to tell me everything we're doing
or not everything but some of what we're
doing that she knows about everything
that she knows about and she's got some
idea for policy because I actually one
of the things that came out of this is
that there really we should be looking I
think there's only maybe one policy that
csba is working on but there's
opportunities for other policies and our
county is going to have a policy
committee um as well there is just so
much going on with AI right now
um let's see and then I did meet with
the math Mathnasium um couple reps from
there they've been doing some tutoring
work at Orion and I think they're
starting at Clifford and uh they were
just curious about the process in terms
of how one might you know do more
tutoring so anyway I pass that on to
Anna um and then you can let me know who
it goes to if it's you or somebody else
and let's see csba um I had a finance
committee a bylaws committee um a
delegate meeting with our
Pacer uh so there's a lot going on and
then we have our board of directors
meeting uh coming up in a couple of
weeks and that's
it great thank
you um same as Mike uh both the EXA and
then the Henry for celebration for Dr
Baker and then I also attended the deac
at hover and I just want to um give
thanks to one of our parents here that I
just saw on the audience so I appreciate
him being here um he's one of the DCT
representatives for Kennedy so thank you
uh I met with several parents to talk
about sort of the future of Orion and
sort of our real estate plans here as a
as a district uh I had a wonderful
meeting with Erin uh who's our rcta
president and talking about meta
cognition and best practices for our
priority schools to go and help make
sure that all of our students can be
fully English proficient by the end of
grade three um had a number of
conversations with uh other about
acceleration and what the research shows
on that and so I've been coming down a
learning path there around both single
subject acceleration as well as whole
grade acceleration and the district's
polic is both informal and formal there
I think there's a lot that we could do
for our our students there uh and then I
had correspondence also with a couple
different vendors about possible uh use
in the district including do Chinese for
Chinese
instruction um the only thing I have to
add would be um was gosh two and a half
weeks ago now um Aon wasburn invited me
to the CTA brunch um so yeah I know you
weren't able to go so it was nice it's
um time for the union leaders to have a
board member to come and have an
informal brunch and I think he went last
year right yeah David yeah that was that
was fabulous and the output of that was
doing the uh student initiated learning
plans this year so just it's Wonder Big
