Thank you. Pledge of Allegiance. Okay, thank you on Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, my pleasure to welcome Mr. Achilles Santos. Same thing again.

All right. My pleasure to welcome Mr. Achilles Santos, El Camino High School junior. I have had the pleasure of visiting many classrooms over the last several years and experiencing Mr. Santos primarily last year in his modern world history class and this year in his US history class. This is a gentleman that has a passion for the social sciences and it was my pleasure to invite him up here to lead us in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, and with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you, Achilles. So, do you know Dr. Moore? Uh,

Dr. Thank you. Okay. Land acknowledgement statement. Trustee Lamb. We acknowledge that the South San Francisco Unified School District is located in the on the unseated ancestral homeland of the Ramatouch Aloney peoples who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Ramach community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples. Thank you. Um, reporting out from close session, Mr. Hanan.

In regard to close session item, public employee discipline dismissal release, government code section 54957, the board took action to approve the release of one probationary certificated employee pursuant to California Education Code section 44929.21. The motion was made by Trustee Sha. The motion was seconded by Trustee Anthony. A roll call vote was taken. The motion was carried by a vote of five eyes.

Thank you. Review of agenda. Any uh changes? Okay. PTA council remarks. Hi everyone. I'm assuming that's that's me. I've never been to one of these meetings before. Um, but good evening, President Murray, Trustees, Superintendent Moore, members of the cabinet, and members of the community. My name is Leona Wong. This is my 14th year as a PTA volunteer across various schools um in the district uh and my first year though as PTA vice president at El Camino High. My son is currently a junior uh at El Camino and my daughter graduated two years ago. We have a few things to highlight for the PTAs this month. All schools are celebrating teachers appreciation week. PTAs are providing meals, snacks, letters of thanks, artwork, gifts, and more to the teachers across the school district. We did that today at El Camino. Hope the teachers enjoy and the staff enjoyed all of that. Uh the PTA loves uh our teachers and we thank and appreciate them for all their hard work and dedication. The Pdays are also supporting year-end activities including field trips, picnics, performances, graduations, promotion celebrations, and more. In the month of May, we will cumively um account for thousands of hours um through these activities. And the work that the PTA does helps build community, celebrate successes, and build lasting memories for all the children in the

district. I don't uh recognize the folks here except for Mr. Biano, but I recognize the red and and gold here. So, um just want to uh recognize them. I'd like to take a moment to share about El Camino PTSA. Um, again I want to recognize the PTSA members, the student leaders especially and parent volunteers because without them we could not do what we do. So thank you so much. We're especially proud of the work that El Camino PTSA has done this year to provide parent education and orientation in high school. at PTA at our PTA meetings, we really try to hear from our principles, our counselors, our student leadership members about what's happening um at school to open that line of communication. We invite guest speakers to give live presentations about relevant topics for high school students. Some of those presentations have included college and career plannings, jobs in the trades, summer internships, mental health resources, and more. We are fully aligned with the portrait of the graduate and the district goal this year of building community and a sense of belonging at the school. We in we attend and engage with parents at schoolwide events. Um besides the our meetings like back to school night and eighth grade family night and we support students during state testing with snacks. Um we support the teachers during the first day uh first week of school and then again during teacher appreciation. Um and we lastly work to celebrate all our seniors uh by supporting parent communities who are fundraising for graduation lunchons, grad nights, and more. Thank you for your time. And if there are no questions, that's my report.

Thank you very much. Okay. So, moving on. Staff Association representative remarks. Uh, South San Francisco Federation of Adult Educators. Uh, South San Francisco Classroom Teachers Association. Sherry Allison. Okay. Good evening. I have uh so this all the time. I need them to read and then I look at you all and I get seasick. So we're going to try. All right. So, uh good evening, President Murray and Superintendent Moore, trustees and cabinet. I'm Allison Light for those of you I think you all know me. Uh and I am vice president and chair of our pack committee. Sher could not be here tonight so I am here. First I would like to address the Lagarda PE collaboration and planning time that we uh in elementary schools have had the pleasure of uh being able to use for the last two years. Um we surveyed SSFCA surveyed all elementary school teachers regarding how this time is used at their school and grade level. As professionals, we must be trusted to use our time effectively. At the same time, we must trust that the that district needs will be clearly communicated and that any training and support that we need will be provided so that our members can be successful. With that said, I believe that you all should think carefully before creating new requirements for elementary teachers to perform during this extremely valuable PE collaboration time. Without this time, there is 30 minutes of prep time

per day after a full day of teaching, which is quickly eroded by late pickups, parent questions. You don't want to just walk away, right? You got to engage. Uh and um just the time it takes to walk back to your classroom. uh having an additional 100 minutes per week of this PE time uh made available for us to collaborate with our grade level teams, with resource teachers, with administration has improved teaching, allowed for more effective collegiality, especially deepened our science and math capacity. To be effective with the NGSS and the new math standards requires detailed planning and thinking about how concepts and activities are presented and built, not once, but over and over. Uh I have copies for you all that I will give you. I brought copies of our survey results. Uh some of the most representative comments have been included. Please take to heart that this time is not being wasted. It is a valuable resource that improves our teaching and learning across the district when teachers can choose how to manage all or most of this time ourselves. Continuing on, uh, safety and good communication with all sites, uh, during emergencies or lockdowns or secure campus situations. Um, there was recently a secure campus at Spruce that I'm aware of. There have been others this year. These events are actually thankfully fairly infrequent here. And our district and administrators uh, and classroom educators, we all get rusty in our skills on what to do, how to do it, how to be most effective and safe. Um, but I think it's common sense to make sure that necessary information is communicated to everyone on the campus and on nearby campuses. Uh, and that communication needs to be available on district devices, not require educators to use your personal

phones. Uh, and when these events come up, also it's vital to debrief after the event, eliciting feedback from those who are on site. Um, this especially concerns substitute teachers who are on campus who don't have access to a laptop or email or, you know, all they have is the PA, whatever comes over the PA. Uh, sometimes they don't have keys to their classroom. Um, so how do you lock the door? Uh, one absolutely essential though small and easily overlooked necessity is that it has got to be possible for a teacher to know from inside the room if that classroom door is locked. All of our doors, I think, uh, can be locked from the inside with a key. It's not a push button. It's a key for obvious reasons. Um, but it has to be clear that it's locked. Now, on mine, when I look at it, there's a little like if I'm looking at the keyhole, there's a little it says lock and an arrow with a direction. So, if I put my key in and I turn it that way, I know it's locked. This is not true on all of the doors. So, that was a concern. People didn't know how to make sure the door was locked without opening the door. Anyway, uh so that is one of the things that just, you know, these things happen. Fortunately, no one was hurt and now we have to debrief and make sure that uh challenges are taken care of. Uh finally, please make sure you vote by June 2nd. Our students can't wait. We must have responsive leadership in Sacramento. We need them to put our educators and students first. Thank you. I have things to hand out.

Thank you.

Okay. Next, um, California School Employees Association, Chapter 197. Miss Malfi is is not here tonight. Next, Personnel Commission. Mr. Anan, our next personnel commission meeting will be convened on Monday, May 18th, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. in the district office boardroom. Thank you. Next items from the board announcements, board calendar, board committee reports. Anybody?

Having none, we'll move on to the superintendent report. Dr.

Thank you very much, President Murray. Um, the first item is on student advocacy. At our last board meeting, we had the opportunity to hear directly from students who advocated so thoughtfully and courageously. I wanted to take a moment to honor them for the way that they came and showed up. They exemplified our portrait of a graduate using their voice to advocate, demonstrating confidence, engaging in meaningful discourse, and working toward making a positive impact in their school community. We are incredibly proud of them and grateful for the example that they set for all of us. I also want to share my appreciation for the collaborative spirit that followed. For those students who were advocating for a grad night experience, it was my understanding that they were able to meet with their principal and come to an agreement regarding the trip, where they will go, when it will take place, and how it will be funded. It is a great example of student voice in action coupled with strong partnership and problem solving. Thank you to our students and leaders for modeling what it looks like to listen, to engage, and to work together in service of our school communities. I also want to take a minute and acknowledge um our growth at a few of our schools. So, at the last board meeting, I shared that we had just finished our academic discourse learning walk cycles and I'm pleased to share that the majority of our schools showed growth from cycle 1 to cycle 2 across the instructional planning guide, also known as the IPG key elements. We have three schools especially that demonstrated some of the most significant progress and growth that I want to highlight this evening. Altoma Middle School. The instructional planning guide elements rated a four most students which is the highest rating who were engaged in academic discourse increased from one cycle to the next by 11.8%. For IPG rated three which is many students are engaged in discourse which is the second highest rating increased by 16.69%. and IPG elements rated one which is none

or few students which is the lowest rating decreased by 39.59%. This was achieved under principal Mendes's leadership by her strategic move to include three members of her instructional leadership team in the cycle one and two learning walks. They observed and aligned on the rubric and used teacher facilitated learning to improve instructional delivery for school buyin. Bur bur the instructional planning guide elements rated four mo rated four for most students which is the highest rating increased by 30.55% the IPG elements rated one none or few students which is the lowest rating decreased by 6.17%. This was achieved under principal Ramich's leadership by his strategic move to provide clarity of the instructional delivery models needed while engaging his instructional leadership team and staff in learning. He also included a member of instructional leadership team in the cycle one and two learning walks. And our third school that I want to highlight is Ponderosa Elementary. The IPG elements rated four of most students engaged in academic discourse again the highest rating increased by 14.29%. IPG elements that were rated three which were many students engaged in academic discourse which was the second highest rating increased by 17.14%. and the IPG elements rated one where there are none or few students. Again, the lowest rating decreased by 15.71. This was achieved under principal Erskin's leadership by making an adaptive shift, leaning into her growth mindset and making a technical shift using a tool she gained from her principal PLC to emphasize the specific instructional moves needed to improve discourse on her site. She also included a member of her instructional leadership team in the cycle one and learning two walks. and we are proud that we saw growth over all campuses and just wanted to highlight three that made significant progress. Congratulations to those schools. Westboro Middle School is the recipient of the 2026 Sustainable and Climate

Ready Climate Ready Schools Award. I'm very excited to share that information with our community. It is through the Sonteo County Office of Education Environmental Literacy and Sustainability Initiative for its project, Sustainable Steps Toward Our Future. This award recognizes schools and student groups that demonstrate leadership and innovation in promoting environmental sustainability through campus practices, curriculum integration, and community engagement. The students efforts reflect a strong commitment to creating a more sustainable and climate ready school environment. The Westro Planeteers and Gardening Club, advised by Karina Low, engaged approximately 550 students in three sustainability initiatives. weekly campus cleanups, a Rididwell plastic film collection drive, and the development of a community garden. The garden was created in partnership with teachers, families, and community partners, and is integrated into the seventh grade science curriculum to support hands-on environmental learning, reduce food waste awareness, and produce fresh produce for the community. The board and the cabinet congratulates Westboro Middle School students and staff for this incredible recognition, and their leadership in advancing campus sustainability and environmental stewardship. In addition to this incredible acknowledgement, we have just recently learned that South San Francisco Unified has five other programs in our district who will be receiving county honors tomorrow night at the 2026 annual Jay Russell Kent Awards and Emily Garfield Awards Celebration. I look forward to sharing more about these schools and their awards at our next board meeting. Before we move on, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of former county superintendent Nancy McGee, a respected leader whose contributions had a lasting impact across Sano County and beyond. We will be adjourning tonight's meeting in her honor later in the agenda. And lastly, it has been an incredible pleasure to work alongside student trustee Ruiz this year. During her time on the board, Miss Reese has provided meaningful updates. She has kept the board, staff, and community informed of the student

experience, highlighting important areas such as academics, student engagement, and overall climate. Miss Ree has demonstrated strong leadership, dedication, and a genuine commitment to representing her peers with integrity and purpose. The board and I are pleased to present Miss Ree with a certificate of appreciation and recognition of her service as a student trustee. We also extend our sincere congratulations and best wishes to her future endeavors. That concludes my report. President Murray, thank you. Thank you, Dr. Moore. Next, student trustee reports. Trustee Izzy Ruiz, spring student trustee and ASB

president, El Camino High School. Good evening board members, cabinet, and community. My name is Isabelle Izzy Ruiz, a senior at El Camino, and I proudly serve as the ASB president and spring student trustee. I hope everyone has been doing well and working through the last couple weeks of the school year. I'd first like to wish all the teachers in the district a very happy teachers appreciation week and share our gratitude from our ELA students. As a senior, it has been a privilege to go through all K through 12 grades in this school district and meet so many wonderful educators along the way. Words cannot express how appreciative I am of all of you as you've all shaped the person I've become today. Last Tuesday, the 28th, was our annual Janentech poster session where biotech 34 and 56 students from both El Camino and South City had the opportunity to go to Janentech and share scientific posters on research they've conducted over the past three months. All students worked hard and it was truly and it truly showed in their amazing presentations. At this session, students had the opportunity to present their posters and receive awards in front of peers, family, and biotech professionals. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and support from our biotech teachers, Mr. Diaz and Dr. Ramahi. On Thursday, April 30th, both current and future culinary arts ambassadors put in their work for their final care during gig of the school year at the MCE countywide CTE advisory committee meeting. They were asked to host a mocktail bar with signature drinks like mango mani, a delicious blend of mango and kalamani juice, as well as dessert like Oreo, sugar cookies, and beignets. So, thank you so much to Miss Ringides for guiding our culinary program. Last Friday was our farewell rally and spring on the green flea market. Both events were a success and a great way to start the final month of our school year. We had a glow rally which was full of recognition and memories. We announced our spring cult spring spring sport cult award winners, recognized the teachers who will be leaving us after this year and watched many performances for the last time. As for our seniors, we ended the rally with an incredible video

edited by senior class secretary Jeremy Riego Dios which recaps all four years of our high school journey. Later in the evening was our annual spring on the green with the new addition of community vendors. It was amazing to see 33 vendors come set up shop on our field for the night. We had alumni and current students selling. There were booths selling vintage clothes, handcraft accessories, chili oil, and so much more. We can't wait to keep this tradition going and hopefully bring in more business. May 1st was also decision day for our seniors. So, our senior class office hosted a lunchtime activity where seniors can write their future plans on balloons and place it on beautiful Oh, the places you'll go backdrop inspired by Dr. Seuss. Additionally, you can check out our Instagram account, ECS Colts, to see the next steps for our seniors. This Tuesday, May 5th, was our senior awards night. It was a night full of celebration and recognition as we recognize our seniors for all the hard work they've contributed for the past four years. Recipients of department medallions, administration awards, athletic awards, and scholarships were all recognized this night. I'd like to say congratulations to our 2026 saludiatoran Siraj Adakari and validictorian Lorraine. And a special thank you to Miss Jen Spagginino for coordinating such a beautiful event. And it was lovely to see Trusty Shade, Trusty Lamb, and Trusty Richardson in attendance. And as we begin our AP testing, our peer counselors have made it a priority to be there for our peers. Every day this week, they've been stationed at the red stage during lunch, providing self-care resources to help our students during the next few weeks. Today, we got to create slime with soothing scents, and tomorrow, we will be making flowers to spruce up our study space. Thank you to Dr. McDonald for leading our peers and student leaders every day to shape our school culture. Tomorrow is our one act play and drama awards, which is a night to celebrate our drama department. There will be many different performances, awards, and one act plays. You can RSVP with the link in their bio at ECS drama department. And tomorrow is also our AVID grad coordinated by Miss Angeles. Here we will be celebrating our seniors who took

courses in preparing for college and career success. Looking forward on May 14th and the 21st is our spring concert series in the Little Theater, which is our final music events of the school year. Admission is free and begins at 7:00 p.m. We hope to see you there. And finally for our sports recap has been an exciting spring sports season for El Camino. Last Tuesday was our bad senior night. Our bad men team went undefeated and now we are PAL champions. Four seniors in particular, Georgie Hong Lim, Leah Wu, Zachary Fun, and Jaden Laauo played a key part in leading our team as they've all had an undefeated season. This was a particularly sweet victory as it is our beloved PE teacher and Batman coach Mr. Torres's last year at El Camino. He has truly been a key memory for many students over the years and we wish him a happy and restful retirement. Many of our badmen players are currently at PAL's today for a chance to advance the state. So, good luck to our athletes. And both our boys and girls varsity swim team also went undefeated this year and our league champions. Boys volleyball had their senior night yesterday against Cappuccino and took home the win after going through five sets. We also have two track athletes who've recently set the school record. So congratulations to seniors Raymer Guvara and Sophia Bala. And our final senior nights are of the season are quickly approaching. Baseball senior night is next Tuesday the 12th against Half Moon Bay at 4:30. Our boys are also on track to becoming league champs as they currently hold a record of 11 to zero. And lastly, softball senior night is against South City on the 15th at 4:30. I encourage you all to attend the last of our exhilarating sports season. And I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to the board for an incredible opportunity to serve as the spring trustee. It has been an immense honor to represent my high school as the alchita president and works alongside such a dedicated and inspiring individuals as well as collaborating with Jamie Lynn which has been particularly rewarding. And I wish her the very best as she embarks on her college journey. And I want to especially thank my amazing teams of student leaders who by the way are in their brand new hockey jerseys.

So please let me know if you'd like one for next school year. and um it has been such an honor to serve as your guys' president. So, thank you once again for your trust and support. And that concludes my report. So, unless there's any questions or concerns, I'd like to thank you all for your time and listening. And I hope everyone has an amazing summer break and takes this time to relax and spend it with their families.

Next, Jam Lynn Aoa from South City High School. GOOD EVENING, BOARD cabinet and community. My name is Gen Oo Choa and it's my pleasure to represent South San Francisco High School. It's hard to believe how quickly this school year has flown by. Next year is spirit week. Monday is mathlete versus athlete. Dress up like a nerdy or sporty person. Tuesday is what do you mean? Dress up like an internet meme. Wednesday is first day versus last day. Dress up as a kindergartener and seniors dress up as a senior citizen. Thursday is mini me. Dress up as your younger self or recreate a baby picture. Finally, on Friday, classes will wear their class colors and seniors will participate in human yearbook day. Wear and sign your friend's white t-shirt. On that same day, our fellow rally will take place in our very own big gym. It's the last rally of the school year with the theme being childhood games. Seniors will be having Roblox, juniors have Minecraft, sophomores have Animal Crossing, and freshman have Fortnite. Throughout last and this week, our ASB Tech Commission has been filming senior liftup which will be presented at the rally. We will also enjoy games as well as performances from the cheer team, our hip hop club, and color guard. Next Friday, May 15th, is also senior sunset. The graduating senior class will enjoy one last event together on the football field from 6 pm to 900 pm. Students will be able to open and read the letters they wrote to themselves in the beginning of the school year as near sunrise. Inflatable obstacle courses and various activities like our famous human hanser balls and other long games will be available. Mr. Softy and Silva's taco truck will be free for every attendee to enjoy. This is a perfect way to make

some final lasting memories with their peers before they graduate and go about their separate ways. The senior class officers will also begin to post the senior class college decisions at SSHs_2026. Seniors can send in their plans at their high school, whether it is a 4-year university, community college, workforce, the military, or a gap year. They can submit their information via the Google form in the bio of the class Instagram page. Congratulations to all seniors and we are proud of the hard work you've done up until now. We can only hope for bigger and brighter things ahead. Our Foquiggo program will host your 31st annual spring concert tomorrow, Friday, May 8th at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 10th at 2 p.m. in the auditorium. The South City community is invited to see the results of their hard work throughout the year. Purchase your tickets through GoPan or through a current student. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for students, children, and seniors. Prices will be increasing if purchased at the door. Last weekend, South City's County Champions for National History Day went to Sacramento to compete in the state champ in the state competition. Special congratulations to Marcelo Nicholas Tanhinko, Hayden Wu Huang, Sabrina Ma, Jacob Anderson, Germaine Tongol, Angelica Garces, Mera Imran, and Valyria Eskeivas for being this year's finalists.

Today was our annual districtwide special Olympics from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. South City hosted a friendly competition on the track and field where

participants showcased their amazing running, walking, rolling, jumping, and throwing skills. Also, next Tuesday, May 12th, a South City seniors awards night. Many students will be recognized for their achievements throughout their time here at South City. Scholarship winners and special sport recognitions will also take place at the awards night. As AP exam continues, I want to remind all exam takers to prioritize themselves during this stressful time. Happy studying, but don't forget that a score on a single test on one day does not define your academic career or self-worth. Good luck everyone. Our senior celebration field trip will take place at Six Flags on Tuesday, May 26th after senior checkout. After four years of hard work, fundraising, and dedication, we were able to raise enough funds and we are proud to announce that we will be offering this field trip to our seniors for free. This includes the ticket and the bus fair. Yesterday was the last day to turn in permission slips. We are beyond thrilled that this year we were able to give our graduating class a fun and memorable trip for us to look back at in the future. A special thanks to the board, our principal, Miss Bissi, and our class adviser, Miss Oera, for helping my current senior officers and I make this possible. Finally, as many of you know, this week is teacher appreciation week. In an effort to show appreciation to the amazing staff at South City, the ASB class created handmade and personally signed thank you cards for every staff member at our campus. South City ASB held addition a teacher car wash yesterday during flex and fourth period where he washed the cars of the teachers who signed up for this event. Although this is a small action and cannot possibly amount the in im in im in im in im in im in im in im in im in im in im inmeasurable time and efforts that our teachers have dedicated toward our schools and students. We hope that this small act of gratitude demonstrates our recognition for all that our teachers do. As for all the teachers and staff here tonight, thank

you for all that you've done for your schools. And even though your hard work often goes by unrecognized, I want to take the time to say that I and I'm tr and I'm sure that all your students are or will be internally grateful for the way you have helped shape not only their education but their lives. And if there are no further questions, this concludes my report. Thank you.

Okay. The first person will be Sienna Beach Spruce Elementary School Library. Hello. Okay. Um, my name is Sienna and I am a library media assistant at Spruce Elementary School. It is my first year working in this position and in the district. I am here today to show how the current work conditions at the elementary school libraries are unsustainable. We are paid 17.5 hours a week to run the library. Our role goes far beyond checking in and-out books and doing story time with students. We manage the entire library program, maintaining the collection, promoting literacy, assisting with research, and collaborating with teachers. These responsibilities require time for planning, organization, and follow-through, which isn't possible within our current hours. In a public library, each of these tasks are spread out across entire departments. We are essentially running multiple departments on our own. This results in disorganization, antiquated books remaining in the library, having to close the library due to work on these tasks, all of which cause a disservice to students. As we are less than part-time, we do not qualify for health care or retirement benefits the union has fought so hard to secure. This has led to us relying on spouses for coverage or paying out of pocket for insurance. Many of us, myself included, have second jobs to make ends meet. To this day, the district librarian position is vacant. The the district exploits the kindness of previous workers to help new hires. On my first day, I was handed the key to the library and was told to connect with the other library workers for advice. Everything I know about running the library is from my colleagues donating their time and experience to me. But I I have received zero official instruction. While we have

been able to rely on each other for support, this is extra unpaid labor. And most importantly, this cannot be a long-term model. We need a district librarian to conduct site visits, help with bookf fairs, ordering materials, and initiating massive projects like weeding and inventory, as well as technical support with Destiny. For many students, the school library is the first introduction to what a library is. For those who cannot go to the public library with adults in their life, the school library may be the only place they can access books for free. If we want to create lifelong learners and public library users, then the workers of these libraries must be supported. To pull from the district strategic plan, quote, we ultimately understand that our students thrive when our educators thrive. This concept falls flat for library workers. We cannot thrive in these conditions. It is essential that we are provided these basic needs to make South SF Unified a sustainable place to work. Addressing these grievances is the first step towards a more dignified workplace. The district prides itself on community resiliency and equity, but we do not feel valued in the SSFUSD community, nor is it equitable that this has been allowed to happen year after year. The resilience we carry is out of love and care for our students, but we need increased hours, benefits, and a built-in support system to achieve this. Thank you.

Thank you. Next, Victoria Laauo, Burberry Bur Elementary School Library.

Good evening, Superintendent Moore, President Murray, members of the board, and members of the community. My name is Victoria Laauo, and I am the library media assistant at Burberry Bur Elementary. I do not believe that my position actually follows with my title. I am a lone worker at Burri Bur. I manage all things in the library. I am not an assistant to anyone. Um as Sienna just said, we work um on our own to provide uh assistance to our teachers and students in the library. Um, Burberry Burray is the stu school of nearly 600 students. I attempt to engage with every student every week, but I can't do this in 17 and 1/2 hours in a week. Aside from welcoming 23 classes into the library, I try to captivate each class with a read aloud, a discussion, and an activity. Each student checks out at least one book a week, and I'm often asked for specific titles, topics, or research books. My daily tasks go far beyond this. I check in and check out books. I assess our collection for lost books. I dam I take in damaged books, which take much time to repair. I search for new books that meet our needs and foster joy of reading in our students. Each new book needs added to a database, labeled, barcoded. Uh they all need covered to keep our collection clean and healthy. I our reading specialists and classroom teachers often ask me for help reading um and pulling research books class collections. The library is often open during recess and lunch to allow students extra time to use the library. I can continue on but my day never finishes at the three and a half hour

mark. In fact, I was at Burberry Bur for seven and a half hours today. I am considerably um putting in I consistently putting in unpaid hours to support our students. They deserve better and our library should be open for student use. You will hear my colleagues speak on these matters as well. Our elementary school libraries make a great team. We support each other, but we have no co cohesive leadership. This is really lacking in our community. I would also like to address our budgetary issues. Currently, the most requested book in my library is a graphic novel from the Babysitters Club. A paperback copy costs about $10. A library bound copy, which is what we require uh for our students, something that is sewn, something is properly glued, has a hard cover, those books are often coming in close to $40 a book. My budget for uh Burberry Bur's library is just over $1,100 a year. That allows me about 40 new books per year. Thank you.

Thank you. Next is Jillian Bales Jroy. Thank you, Monty Verie. How do you say it? Bales Dear Roy. Although everybody there knows me as Miss Roy. Thank you. Hello from Mont. Yeah, from Mont Verde.

Hello to the board members, school district employees, Dr. Moore and community. My name is Jillian Bales Dear Roy and I'm a parent of two seventh graders at Westboro and the library media assistant at Monerde Elementary. In my 17 and a half hours of employ a week, I see 22 classes, that'll be 23 next year, and endeavor to remember some 550 student names. Some of my fellow elementary librarians have already spoken about the lack of hours, lack of leadership, and lack of benefits we face and how this is impacting the school communities that we directly support. I fully agree with and support their statements here tonight. Last December, all of the classified staff were invited to participate in a personnel study with the intended direction of aligning our district's positions and pay with the surrounding school districts, putting South City in a better position to compete and retain highquality staff. Following the incredibly lengthy questionnaire, there were supposed to be follow-up interviews for clarity and results shared broadly. Unfortunately, this effort seems to have stalled. But being a trained industrial psychologist myself and well acquainted with the KSAs of this particular role, I did a bit of research. Searching on Ed Join and school district websites for open jobs and posted job descriptions, I was able to find the following work hours and school sizes for equivalent positions in other districts in the Bay Area. Stockton Elementary School full-time, 597 students. Library tech pool position at Oakland Unified full-time. A library assistant position at Walnut Creek Elementary School, 32 and a half hours per week, 413 students. A library technician position at San Carlos, 24 hours a week, 388 students. And in our closest uh competitor, Burling Game, their librarians manage two libraries,

but each of those are at 20 hours a week. I was only able to find one public school district in the Bay Area other than our own that relies on individuals to perform equivalent job tasks in under 20 hours a week. San Ramon. What this says to me and what I hope it says to you is that what we are asking for is not extraordinary for where we live. the sizes of schools we operate in or the responsibilities already entrusted to us. These districts have recognized that inspiring a love of reading, providing an environment for self-directed exploration, and physically managing a continuously changing collection of thousands of books takes more than 17 and a half hours a week. Thank you.

Thank you. Next is Lucy Bradshaw, Junipacera Math and Equity.

Hi, good even Oh my god. Good evening board, cabinet, Dr. Moore community. I just wanted to talk to you about equity um amongst our students, amongst our schools. Um, but first for the librarians, I we took our kindergarteners on a field trip yesterday and we got them all back safely and we were walking back to class and they said, "Ah, you forgot to take us to the library today." And I thought that was so sweet because we took them to Curiosity and I was like, "How great that they feel like they missed out on something on campus." um our site we're asking for some information to see if there's equity. Equity, the way I understand it is if one student needs a pencil, you don't give every student a pencil, right? We're giving them what they deserve. And so I'm trying to figure out what's happening at our site. Um more and more IEPs constantly. our our principles almost always in IEPs and one student does not equal one IEP, right? So, I'm looking through the agenda and I see on page 105 that 105 elementary students are getting transportation that they deserve to get, right? So, they can be provided the services they need. And I thought, wow, 105, I wonder how much that costs. Oh, it's right there on page 105. costs over a million dollars. Perfect. They deserve it. They need it. I love it. I'm happy. But why is there a traffic jam at our school, right? How come our students have trouble accessing our school? Well, there's nine elementary schools and 105 elementary students getting transportation. How many are coming to

our site? Is it 20? That would be more, right? Or is it more like 40? 40 of 105. Are we putting our students who deserve the most care? Are we putting them in a car at Martin and driving them all the way over to JS and saying that that's best for them? Is costing at least on average $10,000 per student for the transportation? And I worked at Hillside. I know there's a lot of classrooms over there. I worked at Spruce. I know there's a lot of classrooms there, but instead of them being closer to home, they have a long commute every day to sit in traffic to come to our site because that's where the services are. And I think maybe it's time we re-evaluate how we're doing things and make it more equitable, share the workload, and and truly put these students first. They deserve to start their day and end their day in a better way than being driven acro past eight schools to get to ours. Thank you.

Thank you,

Deborah Wilburn, Loserto Library System. Good evening, members of the board, Superintendent Moore, trustees, and community members. My name is Deborah Wilbornne, and I've been the librarian at Los Certos Elementary since 2015. I want to bring up an issue that has a lasting impact on our elementary students, and that's limited library access. As you've heard, our library assistants get 17 and a half hours a week, which means the rest of the time the library is closed. And for my campus, it's closed a lot more than that due to testing and other activities. School libraries are not just rooms with books. They provide a range of materials at different reading levels, giving students the chance to choose books that interest them. We talk about improving literacy, closing achievement gaps, and supporting our most vulnerable students. Well, for many of my students, the school library is their primary source of reading materials. Limiting that access can unintentionally widen the gap between students who have outside resources and those who do not. As a library professional, my role goes beyond just checking books in and out. I'm responsible for curating a collection that meets the diverse needs of our students. Books that reflect our school's cultural diversity support social emotional learning and reaching readers at every level at every level from foundational literacy to complex middle-grade literature. I also maintain a robust Spanish language collection for students who want to read in their home language. This is a significant responsibility that requires more time than I'm afforded.

The California State Library standards recommend that libraries be open to students 36 hours a week. We are currently at less than half that for our elementary schools. By increasing the hours for our nine library media assistants, we can ensure that our libraries are open and staffed and serve the students every day. And I know that um four of us have spoken tonight, but I can tell you right now category the other five are on board with this and are supporting us. So let's give our students the resources that they need to succeed as they progress towards middle and high school. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Okay. Next. Um, information only presentations. One, teaching and learning, El Camino High School. Dr. Camel.

Good evening, community. I'd like to welcome Principal Briano to the podium to provide us with updates to provide us with updates of the amazing things occurring at El Camino High School. Principal Verano, the stage is yours. Okay, can you hear me?

All right, 15 minutes on the timer. Uh, members of the board and public, thank you for welcoming this evening. I am James Biano, proud principal of El Camino High School. It is my honor to represent ECHS this evening as I guide you through our teaching and learning presentation. Look at this. It's kind of our core values and strategic priorities are the foundation and the method for fulfilling the promise of the portrait of the graduate. They guide the decisions that we make, the systems we build, and the instructional work we pursue in order to ensure students leave our schools ready to learn, thrive, navigate, and impact their communities. Our agenda for this evening, we're going to dive right in. Starting with the overview of El Camino High School, our mission statement. This was last revised in 2020 in preparation for our full WASK visit. We're going to revisit this mission statement for a WASK visit in 2027. I am pleased to report that our recent progress report very recent was approved and if I may, the chair requested to use our report as a model for other schools redacted uh who might be struggling with their revised format. really appreciate our school site council members who helped us uh do some last minute edits to that. At El Camino High School, we continue to experience declining enrollment with close to 200 fewer students than we had approximately five years ago. Five years ago, the percentage of students identified as Latinx eclipsed the percentage of students identifying as Filipino for the first time. Currently, the self-reported Latinx population is approximately 36%. the Filipino population 34% and just as a brief aside, the demographic labels that are shown here are the federal reporting categories um used by cowpads. Some data review starting with attendance and chronic

absenteeism. These data in green and blue are from everyday labs at El Camino High School. We continue to celebrate a drop in chronic absenteeism and an improvement in our attendance rates. Chronic absenteeism is defined as students missing more than 10% of instructional time regardless of reason. So these are not truency rates. Um they do include excused absences. The cumulative attendance rate for the year in 2024 25 was 94% while the chronic absenteeism rate was 18% within continued improvement for the third year running at the end of this April. Just one month to go to meet or exceed last year's. This slide shows the chronic absentee rate for our target groups for March 2025 when compared with March 2026. Again, our most recent data for all four target student groups. The chronic absenteeism rate continued to drop year-over-year. Let's have a look at our recent academic achievement data aligned to priority one, exceptional instruction, which is a focus priority. The results for the class of 2026 are current seniors are the orange and green columns that are furthest to the right on that screen. Our ESPback English results for 2022 25 academic year increase slightly 2% and although they still trail that really remarkable class of 2024 when 78% of our students met or exceeded standards, our most current results remain well above our historical including preandemic averages. This longitudinal data is how we detect lasting improvement and measure our growth as an organization. ESPback math our overall ESPback math results increased two points this year to 40% met or exceeded although that bested state averages by approximately eight points. It remains an area of

growth for us. We're going to delve deeper into data through the lens of priority five equity centered systems. This slide shows four years of achievement data for students with disabilities. Uh, one of our core commitments at El Camino is we don't hide from difficult data. We surface it. We study it carefully and we use it to drive action and inquiry. If we start with the science cluster that's on the right, we've seen two consecutive years of growth for students with disabilities increasing from 3% to 17%. During the same period, overall schoolwide cast performance also increased 35 to 48%. What's important to us is not simply celebrating that growth, but asking why. Our science department has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to NGSS aligned instruction, collaboration, and instructional improvement. We're also deeply appreciative of the support provided by our TOSA Dr. Beans. At the same time, we want to be careful about uh correlation and causation. CAST is administered during senior year. Students who experience the full open SIED curriculum sequence have not taken this assessment when with in regards to this data that creates an important opportunity uh of inquiry moving forward. Our greatest area of concern remains mathematics shown in the center cluster. Only once in the past four years did any students with disabilities meet or exceed standards on the ESPback math assessment. Rather than avoid that reality, we've made a deliberate decision to surface these data with staff through faculty meetings, instructional leadership teamwork, and deeper analysis of disagregated department level and course level data. The slide presents a snapshot of our overall achievement gap, but internally we are interrogating the data at a much more granular level. Our response is not to retreat into lower expectations, increase sheltering or reduced access to rigorous coursework. Instead, we believe this work requires

us to continue strengthening inclusive practices and supporting students within the least restrictive environment. Through the master scheduling process, we're intentionally grouping incoming nth grade students next year by identified need within flex in order to provide targeted intervention beginning the very first week of school, not after progress reports or quarter reports are reveal a need. One place we're be beginning that deeper analysis is within our co-taught mathematics courses. Um, which leads us to the next slide. This slide provides one example of that deeper inquiry work. Here we're looking at achievement outcomes within our co-taught classes. What we're searching for are meaningful correlations that can help guide future decisions around inclusive instructional practices, our co-eing structures, and student support systems. Importantly, these data reinforce for us that the answer is not removing students from rigorous learning environments, but improving the quality and in effect of support within these environments. This slide highlights an area of growth we're very proud of, the continued expansion of access to advanced placement co coursework and the resulting recognition through the AP honor role program. One metric I want to specifically highlight is college culture uh which measures the percentage of graduates who take at least one AP course before graduating. Over the past three years, El Camino High School has increased from 37% to 52% of students participating in at least one AP course. That growth did not happen accidentally. Over the past several years, we've worked intentionally to reduce unnecessary barriers to participation. SIPA goals and action plans align to our LCAP. This slide outlines several of the instructional priorities uh driving the work behind the data you saw earlier.

One continuous focus area has been expanding access to rigorous coursework while increasing the systems support around students once they enter those courses. You'll also see our continued focus on academic discourse PLC cycles and implementation work around math language routines and illustrative mathematics. SIP goal two focuses on student engagement, belonging, and intended systems. Were encouraged by the continued improvement in both attendance and chronic absenteeism. The datas that you saw earlier. Much of this work centers around early identification, student connection, and consistent systems. Final Sips slide connects closely to the students with disabilities data that we reviewed earlier. Our focus here is strengthening systems, not simply reacting to outcomes after the fact. That includes refining our MTSS processes, improving consistency around SST and 504 systems in partnership with our district leaders, and strengthening collaboration across departments, school culture, and portrait of graduate initiatives. It's been a particularly special year in El Camino High School's history, marked by the opening of a time capsule that had been sealed since 2001. It was remarkable to reflect on the hopes, aspirations, and anxieties of students from 25 years ago, particularly as they were navigating with the aftermath of September 11th. One especially meaningful moment came when two members of the class of, I believe, 1967 over on the left happened to stop by campus and were giving themselves a self-guided tour. When I bumped into them, I spoke with them while they were holding this historic campus photograph that I had very recently hung in my office as a personal reminder that I am simply a steward of this institution for a very brief period of time. Remarkably, both of those women were actually students in that photograph and they

shared some incredible stories about their experiences at El Camino High School decades ago. And finally, perhaps I should have mentioned this earlier, El Camino High School was honored this year as a California Distinguished School. This recognition belongs entirely to our students and our educators. They are the ones doing the work every single day. The systems, structures, and priorities highlighted throughout this presentation only matters because of these incredible people who bring them to life in classrooms, support spaces, performances, practices, labs, athletic fields across the campus. It is a genuine privilege to serve alongside this community. We are incredibly proud of this recognition. Thank you for your time and attention. It's been an honor to serve this community for more than a decade and a pleasure to work with so many incredible individuals. Go Colts.

Thank you. Would you like to have your students and staff stand up? Any staff members? Miss Conry. Holy moly. Okay. Questions or comments from the staff? I think Mr. Book do so much appreciate them for being a busy time.

Thank you, Mr. Briano. Uh, I want to commend you. how proud I am of all our students in our district specifically, but your deleership and accepting this award means a whole lot. So, me personally, I just take it personal. Thank you for the California Distinguished School Award recognition. Did you get to go to Disneyland? I did. Yeah. And I met Mickey Mouse. Oh, good. So that I know it's hard to see. It's Miss Tam and Miss Chan that accompany me, English and EL instructors.

Well, that's that's a nice thing about this. And um I just want to say it's a pleasure to visit your school. Your parents are engaged. Your students are too. And I'm I'm happy to um visit and walk the grounds and enjoy the sports. Um all the you know your awards uh presentations were were so great. the teach so much spirit and happy even Miss Connory, you know, walked in with her with her injured leg and you know, thank you so much for that moment, Mr. Brian.

Thank you, Trusty Anthony.

Miano, thank you so much uh for telling us about all the great things happening at El Camino High School. Not that we don't hear great things every every week with Izzy. Um, but it's it's really it's really wonderful um that not only are you celebrating progress, but you are also not shying away from the things that aren't going as well as you want them to. I really appreciate the deep dive on understanding how you're going to address the students with disabilities, not not cutting it in math. Um, it's not it's it's a reflection of all of us. I mean, you don't get to high school and not achieve that without having years of of work that you need to do. And I know that's something that we're addressing uh systemwide. Um, but I appreciate that you're digging into the data at at your campus as well. Um, I also want to say thank you so much for the good work on attendance and engagement. Um there has been so many you so many times that Miss Connory has invited us to things um that she mentions very briefly in passing and your teachers have gotten way better this year at emailing us and being like hey in two weeks this thing is happening please come and join us and celebrate what students are doing. So, I truly sad. I don't think I'll be able to make next ne next next week's um TED symposium, but I'm sure it's going to be amazing and thank you so much for providing such a great environment for students.

Thank you, Trusty Lamb.

Yes. Uh thank you for the presentation, Principal Briano. Um, yeah, it's been a great uh year to, you know, I've I I know my my son goes to the other high school, but uh but you know, I'm I've I am Switzerland say I've had the pleasure of visiting, you know, when I can um for you know, like I remember the bell game was pretty fun. The uh we saw Clue earlier this year. I mean, I just I just every time I've come, you know, it's just nice to get a little taste of, you know, how how the the the the environment, the culture. Um, you know, you have incredible students. I mean, I think that was really on display um during the senior awards night that Dr. Sheay and and uh Trusty Richardson, you know, we all went to. Um, so it's great to celebrate all the students uh for, you know, all the uh hard work and, you know, your your staff, you know, just always, you know, does incredible work. Yeah, I hadn't realized, you know, all the AP different AP course offerings that are available. Um and um yeah, it just seems like everyone's taking full advantage and uh really um yeah, doing really great work. So uh yeah, and also appreciate, you know, all your insights in terms of like how you guys are continuing to improve and continuing to yeah, just try to get better and better and yeah, and to make sure that everyone has the opportunities that uh we are promising. So um yeah, so I just look forward to, you know, coming back for more and um thank you. Thank you,

Dr. Shen.

Thank you. Thank you. I always love El Camino's uh principal Briano's uh presentation. There is special spot in my heart because my son graduate from El Camino High five years ago during pandemic. So, thank you for this amazing meaningful presentation. It is clear that this work has not happening by accident. uh we observe that through the years behind the positive data trends we saw tonight from attendance as uh my colleagues mentioned and chronic absentes to academic growth and support for students with disabilities there's a great deal of intentional planning and of course there's always room for improvement and staff collaboration and uh care for our students and I was especially encouraged to hear how El Camino is not focusing focusing on academic rigor but also on belonging student voice and school school identity. Uh and congratulations again on the um being recognized as California Distinguished School. We are so proud of you. Thank you.

Thank you. So, I have a special place in my heart for El Camino as well because I graduated from there in 1974. I have three children. We I we probably have the yearbook.

I almost wore my El Camino sweatshirt but didn't. It It clashed with a kef yet. But but I have three students, three kids who graduated in 2009, 2011, and 2014. So we're kind of entrenched in El Camino. And um it's a great school. This is a great report. I agree with my colleagues. Um, I love the special attention to our special needs students and you know some they can fall between the cracks sometimes and you've pulled them out and you know I I I love that. Um, so thank you for all you do. Thanks for all of your students for attending. I appreciate it. Congratulations on the California Distinguished School. That's amazing. And um, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Thank Thank YOU VERY MUCH. I I I believe we still do have some recipients of our certificates here. It's a very very busy time of year. Um and I will call out those who are here and and who aren't here. So, first Leona Wong, do I say a few things about why why why I'm recognizing? Great. Uh Leona Wong has been a fantastic partner um for many years now. She recently stepped in as an interim uh president of PTSA and will be the president next year I believe. Fantastic professional communicator. Um it's always wonderful to get off the phone with Miss Wong or you know complete a meeting with her because I have this confidence that that things are going to get done. The things that she says will get done will get done. She's phenomenally organized. Um and again I just can't thank her enough for the partnership. Um Nath she had to leave. She was here earlier but needed to go. Nathan Kitchenen. So Nathan Kitchenen is a valued member of our community. He is on our school site council and as I briefly mentioned earlier uh right before we were about to submit that um most recent was progress visit. We had a school site council meeting where where just he and I were there. So there wasn't a quorum. and he said, "Well, while we're here, why don't why don't we get something done?" Um, and I gave him edit access to that document. Ended up um approving all of his um suggestions. Um and ended up with really an exemplary um was progress report. Mr. Christopher Nichols is also a valued member of our community. uh currently has a student at El Camino High School, former um leadership instructor at El Camino High School and current uh member of our school site

council. Also fabulous person that we can count on when we have these meetings. He's either there or lets us know where he's going to be. Um is an active participant in our school site council meetings. Um not just someone who signs off on things. Um he's knowledgeable. He's currently an assistant principal. Um and he shares that knowledge. um and and again really participates when we're looking at our SIPs or was reports in those meetings. I think so I have Joselyn Corpus and Kim Molino. I I they needed to leave but they stayed.

And I will say so our athletic boosters as some of you know um we had some challenges with our athletic boosters president this year suffered some uh a medical challenge really. Um, these individuals stepped up and have rescued our athletic boosters program. Um, they've done a phenomenal amount of work. Appreciate you in the offices just the other day sorting through data, organizing it, um, and getting us completely in compliance. And I I just can't thank you enough for for making El Camino High School and our community look good. Thank you very much. Bye guys. Are they going to take a picture? Okay. Okay. So, next presentation with potential action. Individual presentations are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes. Presentation business services. Mr. O. Will we be able to do it in 10 minutes? I don't think so.

You sure? Okay.

Okay. All right. Uh, good evening, uh, President Murray, members of the board, Dr. Moore, cabinet members, staff, and community members. So, Miss uh Lori Shelton and I will be tag teaming to present this presentation on staff's recommendation for the Sunshine Gardens and elementary school modernization project. So, we want to start uh by providing a little background regarding this project. So on December 14, 2023, the board of trustee approved an architectural services agreement with uh No Tam Architects for project assessment services for the Sunshine Gardens Elementary School modernization project under the bond program. So this is the part one of a two-part agreement. The scope of work included an assessment of the school campus to determine the existing conditions including operation and functional deficiencies and improvement opportunities. The results of the assessment informed the design team, bond team and district leadership on the campus needs and requirements and serve as the basis for determining the scope of work that will be advanced to part two of the modernization project. So on February 27, 2025, the board of trustees approved part two of the architectural services agreement with no TAM. The scope of work under part two encompasses the full architectural design and construction process spanning from systematic design through design development, construction de uh document documents uh bidding and procurement, construction administration and ultimately uh construction closeout. So based on the results from project assessment to uh design development, staff are recommending additional funding for the Sunshine Gardens Elementary School modernization project uh to meet its needs.

So uh in the presentation we'll be covering the following items. A recap on the existing Sunshine Gardens Elementary School campus. The proposed scope of work needed for this site. the proposed funding for this project, the timeline and staff's recommendation and then also the next steps. So now I'll turn over to Miss Shelton who will cover the next uh set of slides.

Good evening. Yeah, there we go. So the first uh few slides we're going to talk about the existing campus just to re uh orientate you with the site. Um this is a aerial view of Sunshine Gardens. Um you can see that uh the main campus is on the uh lower uh side of plan view south and then we have the upper uh field that is in the plan view north. uh for the buildings. This is the orientation that we have on the far left would be building B with which houses um our Leo J Ryan pro uh third party program. The remainder um in the upper uh north areas are the basic classroom buildings and the building uh in the center that's kind of purple and blue that's the admin building that contains the library and the building that's on the lower right hand side is the multi-use building. So, moving into the proposed scope of work for the modernization project. Um, not expecting you all to be able to read all of that, but essentially this is the scope of work that we're moving forward with the modernization uh program. Uh, as you recall in the last bond, Sunshine Gardens was one of the schools that did not receive any funding. So, one of the things that we want to be able to do for the site is provide equity. And one of those items will be to provide them with a new exploratorium. So, we will be providing them with that as well as uh modernize their library. They will um we're planning to

reconfigure the administration office just to make it uh more functional. uh modernize some of the classrooms with new fixtures and finishes. Uh exterior that will have new windows. Um we're looking to upgrade the utilities um and replace uh uh provide new and modernize staff as well as student restrooms. Um and that's just a part of what we're planning to do for the site. And then this um image is just uh again a proposed layout of the site. And in the upper uh right hand corner is where we're proposing to place the uh temporary portable uh classrooms that will be used as swing space during the construction process. Oh, excuse me. Let me go back one. And then in just center on the the right hand side you see a building designated as building H. That is the location of the new Exploratorium. And I Oh, there we go. Um, and this next slide is giving you uh an idea of the uh layout of the renovated library. Um, we're adding uh new lighting, new flooring, new finishes um and hopefully uh provide them with uh a better feel. And I am just mutilating the There we go. And this is a rendering of the library just to give you a taste of what the uh design uh will potentially be. This is again a rendering. It won't look exactly like this, but to give you an

idea, this next slide is um rendering and the floor plan of the new exploratorium. It will have a main classroom area that is approximately one and a half times the size of a standard classroom. It will also contain a meeting room, a all gender staff restroom, and a storage and utility uh space. Um, and then this next uh slide on the new Exploratorium is just to give you a plan view of what the uh general building uh would look like. and then I'm gonna have uh Ted talk about the proposed funding.

All right. So, let's uh talk about the funding sources for for this project. So, based on results from the uh project assessment through design development, staff are recommending an additional 10.1 million for the Sunshine Gardens Elementary School modernization project to meet its many needs. So this is is uh on top is the uh 25.5 million uh which is already allocated by the measure t bond program. Uh the total estimated amount needed for this bondization project is about 35.6 million. You see that at the bottom there. Uh this slide shows the proposed funding sources that staff is recommending to cover that 35.6 billion. So at the very top we have 25.5 million which is I mentioned is the measure t bond allocation. Then we have about 1.1 million will come from the measure t uh technologies allocation. About 1 million will come from the interest earned on the unspent measure t bond funds that's in our bank account. 3 million will come from the deferred maintenance facilities fund. And then the remaining five million will come from the Metro J uh and state allocation funds. So I including the funding sources also for Loserto. So you can see a comparison between uh these two schools. These are the first two schools that we're modernizing. So in coming up with the recommendation staff consider the following uh using up the measure J and state allocation funds first. So staff would like to use up those funds first by applying all the funds toward Sunshine Gardens and Losertos Elementary School because these are the two schools that did not receive any of the modular buildings from the measure J uh bond funds and this is allowable use of these funds. Uh next is the simplifying the budget. To simplify the budget of the

bond fund, staff would like to use up one part of the bond fund which is the older measure J bond funds. This will make it easier to manage the budget uh if there's only one part of bond funds to remaining. We also look at the cost of maintaining uh these two bonds. Uh by using up measure J and the state allocation funds, the addition will save money by not needing to hire external auditors to audit uh that part of funds uh which we we required by law to do each year and then also uh using some of the deferred maintenance funds. the staff is proposing use some of that for Sunshine Gardens monization project because staff has sufficient funds remaining uh in that pot to cover that. Again, I want to remind the board and community that the amount we receive from the measure T bond is less than half uh even less now due to inflation and tariffs than the total facility needs of the district based on our facilities master plan. So we're not be able to do everything that we want and so this is how we what we're proposing. And then next I'll have Michelin cover the sunshine modernization schedule. So we're moving into the uh schedule and recommendations. Um as you can see from the schedule slide uh we are currently in the construction documentation phase which is the uh darker green. Um in this design phase we are currently finalizing what the design scope is going to be and designing it to become record documents that are biddable documents. Once we complete this phase, we will move uh we'll submit our documentation to DSA who is our regulatory uh agency and they will review and make recommendations and

and hopefully finally approve it by uh the time period which is uh the end of April of 2027. Afterwards, we'll move into what we call a bid and procurement phase where we will have um the contractor will be since we're in a lease lease back uh procurement process, the contractor will then bid out for uh the various components of the design and return uh the guaranteed maximum. Um, sorry, just lost the uh GMP, the guarantee maximum uh procurement number and then uh we will bring it back to the board for approval and then the we anticipate going into construction in the summer of 2027. So, um, a lot is dependent on the time required uh that DSA will review and approve. Um, but this is what we've anticipated.

All right, the next slide I'll turn it over to Ted. All right. So, based on the information we just uh shared, staff's recommending that board of trustees approve the additional funding of 10 10 million uh 8 082,559 for the Sunshine Gardens American School modernization project in order to address the many needs of the facilities at this uh school. So this shows again some of the scope that uh Miss Shelton mentioned earlier and so I'll have Miss Shelton finish the rest of the slides. So next steps and then questions. So what we need from the board this evening is approval for the additional funding allocation so that we can continue with uh the design and move into uh construction. And then after we have board approval, we'll again finish the design, submit to DSA, uh hopefully get uh approval by the end of April 2027 and then move into construction. and we anticipate construction to take between 18 and 24 months.

All right, thank you. We're going to hold questions until after a break. We have to take a 10-minute break for our translator. So, we will be back at 8:42. Thank you.

Now you know what it feels like.

Welcome back. Okay, so we have any questions? Start with Trusty Anthony. Right. Um got a got a few things. Um first of all, super glad that we're attacking the uh staff bathrooms. Those are scary. Um really that's going to be a great improvement. Um I was wondering about some of the um some of the some of the upgrades that were mentioned and really thinking about how we maximize them. So one of them was the soccer field. it. I I mean, I looked at it on the map and then I asked you about the the grading, but it sounds like it's not on the front lawn. The soccer field is not going to be on the front lawn,

isn't? Okay. And then the sanitary sewer stuff. I'm We've been dealing with a lot of like infrastructure issues and other sites and and those have those have ballooned in some cases. Like if are we are we planning for more than 35%. if we have um sufficient funding available, not just what we're hope asking for right now, but if we can um through our cost uh assessments as we go through this process, uh determine if we have sufficient funding, then we can do it. Right now, it is an uh alternate, but it's an unfunded alternate. So, our hope is that we will be able to do it, but I I don't know at this time.

That's helpful. And so it sounds like we are able to add some like nice to haves. If budget, let's also do XYZ. And currently we only have two alternates. Uh the soccer field turf is one and then the the additional utilities is the second one. Okay, that's that's really helpful. All right. Um thank you so much. Appreciate it. I'm excited about this to kick off.

Trusty Lamb, any questions? I think yeah I had some that were answered previously um I I think I actually you know since I kind of had been following you know past bond and all those kind of things that's helpful to hear about that um I mean I think I knew that Sunshine wasn't um hadn't gotten the modernization um from the previous bond and um so I you know I'm I know this a big scope but then it's kind of like well they what they should have had all along. So I think we just we have to do right by the school and you know do do these uh upgrades. I uh one thing question just popped in my mind was in terms of the interim housing um because I'm presuming you know we have to move kids in certain classrooms you know during construction for safety reasons um and uh you know we had talked about inter room housing in the context of the the Los Certos project. Um but you know but different a little bit different scenario with that one. But I guess I my curiosity was what um what typically happens with interim housing afterwards like do does the school get to keep them or we have the option to move them for like another uh project or something like that. The interim housing is a rental. It's not a purchase. And so once construction is uh completed we will be removing them from the campus. Okay. Um, yeah, that's okay. Thank you, Dr. Shay.

Thank you. I don't have a question, but I have comment and this comment is more for our leadership team and also our board uh members. So, uh, thank you for the great presentation. I appreciate the tremendous amount of planning that goes into this uh um identify Sunshine Gardens facility needs and develop this comprehensive modernization proposal. And at the same time, I think the this discussion also remind us that we are entering a period where the board will need to make very thoughtful long-term decisions about elementary school investments across the district. Um as we commit tens of thousand uh millions of dollars into this individual uh campuses uh it become increasingly important that each moderniz modernization decision is viewed not only as a site improvement project but also as a part of the larger districtwide strategy tied to our enrollment trends util uh utilizing ation and sustainability. I think this is very important for all us to uh make sure that we have that in back of our mind. If every site is going to be 10 million more which is is needed because with all the increase on the cost I'm not saying this is this is not good. I'm saying is we just need to be mindful and then is that tied to our enrollment trends and then uh where the enrollment some school may be decreasing some school may be increasing and then what's the you utilization rate of those sites so I support improving student learning environments always great the learning environment where conducive for learning

that's very important that's why we are here and I also believe we must continue asking how each major facilities investment fit into our overall future footprint as a district. So this is my comment. Thank you.

Thank you. Um I also don't have a question. I just have a comment. Um when I was measure when I was campaigning for measure T, one of the things that I told um the community and one of the reasons that I ran again is because I told them that I would advocate for um for infrastructure and for our title one schools and in this project we're doing both and I appreciate it. And so thank you.

Thank you. I would like to make a comment about could you show us on the slide where the proposed soccer field might be? I just can't picture it. Is it on this side? Yeah, it's on the the pavement here. Uh on slide well number four here. See how it's right next to building G? This is building G. It's right here. So, she's not showing that. She is. She's showing it on the next slide.

So, for uh the proposed soccer field is adjacent to just to the right of building G, the multi-use building. Okay. And play structure stay. The play structure uh should be able to remain there. Yes. Okay. And the trees also uh the trees are on the upper campus. Okay. They're not affected here. Okay. So, here's the proposed Yeah. Currently, that whole area is asphalt. Yes. Are you going to repave that as well? Is that part of it?

No. the the type of turf that we're uh uh looking to um install goes right on top of asphalt. You're welcome.

Thank you very much for your presentation. Okay, next is the action item, business services, approval of staff recommendation for the Sunshine Gardens Elementary School modernization. Staff recommends approval of the recommendation for the Sunshine Gardens Elementary School modernization project under the bond program, including an additional $10.1 million in funding for a total project cost of $35,625.

I guess I'll just reiterate on the memo that at least we're saving well I mean we're we're spending a little more but we're extending our uh cont you know it's a one-year contract extension to so I think that's kind of a plus on us. There was some negotiation with to get this yeah some cost savings. Sorry I'm not explaining it very well but yeah no good contract. Any other discussion? All in favor?

I motion carried. Um approval of the appro the proposal with up unbound ed and we have a we have a a comment public comment. Megan Connry, El Camino High School. Good evening, uh, President Murray, Dr. Moore, trustees, cabinet, and public. Okay. My name is Megan Connory. I am the math department chair at El Camino High School, and I would like to speak tonight about the proposal involving unbound ed. First, I want to be clear that I do not have an issue with continuing the work with Unbound Ed or with receiving support in implementing the ILC curriculum. My concern is specifically with the method they use to collect data during their instructional walkup throughs. The very first question on their walkthrough questionnaire asks whether the teacher is using what they define as high quality instructional materials. If the teacher is not using the ILC curriculum, the answer is automatically marked no and the formal data collection essentially stops there. Although the walkthrough team may continue observing the classroom, nothing else about the lesson is recorded on the questionnaire. At I am at the end of my 24th year of teaching, all within this district. During my first walkthrough, I received a no on that first question. So none of the rest of my lesson was documented. On that day, I was teaching a mini lesson to prepare my students for the upcoming ILC lesson because based on my professional experience, I knew my students were not yet ready for the material. The curriculum assumed a level of readiness that my honor students did

not have yet, and I made sure I made an instructional decision to support them. What I find troubling is the imple imp implication there we go behind the questionnaire itself. By defining high quality instructional material so narrowly it dismisses the professional judgment of experienced educators and discounts curriculum and instruction that successfully served students in this district for many years including the curriculum we were teaching just last year. My suggestion is simple. If a teacher is not using the ILC curriculum on a given day, the walkthrough should still continue with the rest of the questionnaire so that meaningful instructional data can still be collected. Even better, I would encourage the district and unbound AD to redesign the questionnaire so it reflects a more respectful and comprehensive view of teaching and learning. Finally, I would also like clarification on who serves on the math implementation team. As the math department chair at El Camino High School, I would have expected to be included or at least invited to participate in those discussions. Thank you for your time.

Thank you. Can you get her the Okay,

if you if you don't mind, they're going to let you know who's on that team. Today we held our comprehensive administrative team meeting and every principal was informed that in year two of implementation of our adopted highly highly qualified instructional materials that every school will have their individual district implementation or school level implementation team. Our district implementation team is made up from of members of the cabinet, members of the mathematics team within teaching and learning uh ML tosses and our instructional coaching coordinator uh as among other members I don't want to forget names but the most important part of this is that the work of the district implementation team will now get to every school and so the speaker will have the opportunity to get with her principal and communicate the desire to then be on the school level district uh school level implementation team.

Thank you. Okay. Um, so staff recommends approval of the proposal with Unbound Ed to support the continued implementation of illustrative mathematics during the 2026 2027 school year in the amount of $214,000. Do I have a motion? So moved. Second. Okay. I have a motion by Dr. Sheay, second by Trustee Lamb. Any questions? Okay. All in favor? I I I

motion carried. Approval of the reallocation of special education transportation funds. Staff recommends approval of the special education transportation fund reallocation and associated cost adjustments as outlined in the board memo. Do I have a motion? So move. Okay. Do I have I have a motion by Dr. Shay? Do I have a second? Okay. And I have a second by Trustee Anthony. Any questions?

Yes. I would like to ask uh under what conditions we're doing this change. What I mean is do we have a a assigned contract with each of these agencies and uh or why are we um changing or removing some of the allocated amounts like in the 100 and 300,000. Are we using them less or what's the story beyond that? Does anybody know?

Nobody knows. So, Trusty Rich question what? Trusty Richardson. Um yes, we we have contracted with all of these uh vendors that you see here. This is just a reallocation of funds. So that we had um allocated them to each different agency. And so the proposal, some agencies need more and some agencies need less. So the it's re based on the student need and so it's just reallocating the funds. That's what this memo is asking. Okay. Yeah. They're not going to be new contracts. It's just moving it where we need it for to be able to serve students. We use all these um agencies for transportation. That is correct.

We don't use Uber. No. Okay, I just asking a not sure. Everybody uses Uber now. Any other questions? Driverless cars. Any other questions or comments? Uh, no. Oh, that I have children cannot use Uber. This This is people who are certified background checked working with children drivers just to make sure. Okay. So, we have a motion by Dr. SH a second by trustee Anthony. All in favor? I.

Motion carried. Approval of theou with Santo County Office of Education for the K12 strong workforce program round 8. Staff recommends approval of theou with the Sonatel County Office of Education to participate in the K12 strong workforce program round 8 initiative effective January 1st, 2026 through June June 30th, 2028.

Um you know, at our Sanonteo County School Boards Association, we had a presentation by um Chris Shu about this and there's a lot of school districts that are not pursuing these grants and we consistently pursue them. We consistently win them and we consistently invest in them and I'm just really proud that we are taking advantage of all the funding that comes from the state to to help our students learn diversity of skills. Absolutely. Um Trusty Lamb, did you have

I I just echo that excitement of Yeah. that we are um participating in these programs. Um I I was just really excited reading about the scope of work in here. Um they're talking about um okay, so I'll just read it word for word, but um you know, one of the things is to review and update our CTE courses to integrate in entrepreneurial mindset and ensuring alignment with current industry standards and student needs. I mean and um integrating entrepreneurship emerging technologies and providing professional development for students and teachers on entrepreneurship AI applications and industry specific innovation. So this is really just I mean that's just one piece of the scope and there's plenty more to read but it's uh I I just think it's great like we're strengthening the CTA courses um making them relevant to you know the things that are actually happening today. I mean this is not your I don't know last generations re regional you know occupation uh type of courses. These are like re current relevant uh courses. So really excited about it.

Thank you Dr. Shay. No I don't. Okay. So we have a motion by Dr. Sheay second by trustee Anthony. All in favor? I I motion carried. Approval to enter into the agreement with Max Airman for Altaloma Middle School mural project. Staff recommends approval to enter into an agreement between Altaloma Middle School and Max Arman for a student-led mural project designed to advance student belonging, cultural representation, and school community pride in the amount of $39,500. Um, do I have a motion? So moved. Second. Second. Okay, any questions?

Um, I I did have a question. Um, because I didn't see very many attachments regarding this item. First of all, I'm always in favor of like anything with, you know, engaging students through art. So, that's not an issue for me there. Um I just was a little bit concerned because I hadn't seen any like contract um attached to the memo um or any you know anything with regarding like background check clearance on the the person leading the you know the facilitated exercise. So that's my main concern. Um is there anything is there any further information regarding the altoma mural that

uh yeah we do have the contract. Yeah, I have a copy of it because I have to review the contract and also before I before I sign off on the contract. So, a copy I do have a copy and also the W9 to set up the vendor uh as well. Uh I I I don't I'm not sure what happened why it it was not attached to here. It might have been missed. I'm not really sure, but we do have the contract in my desk that I reviewed already.

Okay. And then the the person has had like whatever or they're are they in contact with students and just going to have Yeah, because you know it's oversee by the the uh either teacher or the uh somebody at the site. So it's it's not required to have the fingerprinting and background checks. Oh, if they're like a company involved, you know. Yeah. There's there'll be somebody kind of supervising them kind of watching them. Yeah. Certificated staff. Thank you. Yeah. Have we have we done work with Max Airman before? I not sure. Sorry. Yeah. No, I you don't need to. I'm just curious. Okay. Um

I'll just one more comment. Uh so the uh I'm I'm really excited. I don't know if you guys have seen the new Presta Eyes mural here at Ben. Um that was also a collaboration with students and I'm so glad to see that we're going to be doing murals on other campuses. It really does beautify and and um build community. Okay.

Any questions or comments? I'll make a comment. I've been working on um some some of this data for my day job and um it's really interesting because there have been a lot of improvements in vaping uh in the last 5 years since California a generally banned flavored tobacco which is still able to buy at a lot of places but it is illegal. So don't buy flavored tobacco. Um but so I know that we still have some problems with vaping on our campuses, but what's really interesting is that a lot of our younger um students who are starting to get into tobacco use are using the Zen packets. So it's even harder to detect, but it's still tobacco use. So, um I really hope that we will take this seriously and continue to work with our site leaders on identifying um and and preventing tobacco use as quickly as possible so that we can stop addiction before it starts.

Thank you. Any other questions or comments? Okay, so we have a motion by Trusty Lamb, a second by Trustee Anthony. All in favor? I motion carried.

Um, also wanted to um remind everyone that we are excited about the Golden Apple Awards next week and pulling whose names out of the hat. So, hope we get to see you there. Um, and then finally, um, happy Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander uh, heritage month. Uh we have a wonderful board with two AHPI uh representatives and uh our student body is also represented at about 40% of AHPI students. So so glad that we are uh such a diverse community and and have this culture.

Thank you uh Trusty Lam.

Um thanks. Yeah, I don't even Yeah, the acronyms I'll just say as a a whatever the the letter the the the aa the letter the acronym is changing you know because it's trying to be more inclusive you know more and so I I'm not I don't begrudge that it's just that it's hard to keep up and um so as a member of that constituency I'll do a better job next time. Okay. Um yeah just uh yeah that was a great time at the Chamber of Commerce and scholarships. Um yeah, it was rewarding to see um everyone, you know, doing so well. We have really great kids. I think just these kind of events really reiterate, you know, what great kids that we get. Um that come Yeah. South City. Yeah. Oh, yeah. South City. Yeah. The the senior awards. Well, you should talk about that.

No, I No, I don't know. Just congratulations to everyone. Um we also went to the PTA officers installation and I think that was my first time there. So, I don't know. I just really enjoy seeing when we have everyone just folks together in one roof from multiple schools. Um you know, you just really see that that's where you really get the unity of the school district. So, um you know, anything to promote that is, uh really great. So, congrats to all the new PTA officers. Um I'll just also do a quick plug for um National Bike Month. Um there's a uh Centennial uh they call it Centennial Cruise, but it's actually a Centennial bike ride, not a cruise like a ship cruise. Um, it's a bike ride this coming Saturday. I believe it's at 10 o'clock. Uh, and it's hosted by the city of South San Francisco. It also happens to be my my partner, uh, Mike Mark Nagal's birthday. He's the vice mayor of South San Francisco, but he's going to be celebrating with that bike ride. Um, so it'll be a nice little kind of like mini critical mass. I mean, I think there's been a lot of conversations with regarding like ebikes and, you know, whatnot. But um I think it's kind I I hope this event really just helps us you know just to envision like what of our community could be like if we uh you know think about driving less and you know riding more bikes and you know maybe we can all yeah get out and bike to our everywhere schools and community.
