F. PUBLIC TESTIMONY ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
Minutes:
Jon Sherr-SLTA President
Spoke regarding the parcel tax. want to encourage the district to consider going for the parcel tax again. As stated in his recent letter to the editor, we've done wonderful things in the school district over the last few years. We're seeing the result by our district grow in attendance. We need to support those. The community has generously supported several bonds. He went on to say that another reason we need a parcel tax is because as the business cycle goes south, we're going to need insurance that our local funding remains intact when the business cycle takes a turn for the worse. Believes we have what it takes to make this work.

Lesley Feikert:
She is a teacher in another school district. She is very proud that her three children attend San Leandro Unified School District schools. She is part of a grass root group of parents who have begun meeting and are very interested that we have money for our schools. We realize that the current parcel tax is sun-setting and want smaller class sizes for our schools, quality teachers, improved science programs, increased test scores, and very excited about having a marching band at the high school. Requested that the Board look into the legal and financial details necessary to place a parcel tax on the ballot for November 2018.

Morgan Mack-Rose - President, San Leandro Education Foundation:
Parcel Tax - San Leandro schools are doing better than they have in years due to proactive leadership and significant increase in state resources over the past several years. However, we know from experience that school funding levels vary significantly along with California's boom and bust economy. Until the structure of Prop 13 is changed, that will be a truism for our schools. Placing a school parcel tax on the November 2018 ballot is critical. While increased enrollment is helping to offset in the expiration of our current parcel tax, we need an insurance plan for when state funding dries up. San Leandro has one of the highest adult to student ratios in Alameda County. A parcel tax can bring more caring adults into the classroom. Our current after school programs to not adequately meet the needs of our many working families in the district. A parcel tax can provide stable funding to increase quality after school care and learning opportunities. A parcel tax can ensure career pathways continue so that all students are prepared for their future education and career goals. She believes increased voter turnout for the upcoming election coupled with a grass roots community led effort will enable us to take a parcel tax to the finish line.

Christian & Joey - students at San Leandro High School:
Spoke on behalf of the Science department. They invited everyone to a formative event that both the Chemistry and Environmental Science has been working on. The event will include science experiments where kids will bring awareness about environmental issues such as air quality, asthma and air particulates pollution. They thanked the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for funding their project. Their staff assisted the high school students in building an air quality sensor from scratch. Using the sensor at school on plants made them aware of the air quality we are breathing. The event will take place at the Barbara Lee Center on May 22 from 3-4 pm. Games, food, and raffle tickets will be apart of this event. At this event they will launch an air quality sensor attached to a balloon halfway to space.

Theshia Naidoo:
A parent of students at Roosevelt Elementary school and a homeowner in San Leandro. She spoke in favor of renewal of the parcel tax. Agrees with all who spoke of this topic tonight and urged the Board to take the necessary steps to get this parcel tax back on the ballot.

Christian Rodriguez:
He was there to advocate a parcel tax be placed on the ballot for the November 2018 election. In San Leandro it's always been made clear that when we vote, we vote in favor of additional funding for San Leandro schools.
We need to secure funding for our schools now and if the Board is able to get it on the ballot, he will be one of many residents who will work towards getting it passed. He supports a parcel tax measure because he supports public schools. A child then spoke "Please protect education".

J. PRESENTATIONS
J.1. LCAP Youth Leadership Council Annual Presentation
Rationale:

The Youth Leadership Council (YLC) that provides youth input on implementation of the district's strategic plan and Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) will provide a presentation to the Board regarding current Year 1 successes of the strategic plan goals and key initiatives and the continued areas of improvement from the middle school and high school student perspective


 
Minutes:
Students from the LCAP Youth Leadership Council, with direction from Deputy Superintendent Dr. Rosanna Mucetti, provided a presentation which included the following:

The Youth Leadership Council (YLC) expressed appreciation for the implementation of key inhtiatives and tactics in Year 1 of our strategic plan, Building a Culture of Excellence. They also shared their perspective on continued area of improvement.

Recognition-Middle School
New Middle School Theater Provider - middle schoolers were concerned about who would step up to help continue the musical productions at Bancroft. They were relieved that Bay Area Children's Theater is now their provider.

AVID - this has been a great addition to the Middle School elective wheel. AVID is preparing middle schoolers for 8th grade , high school and college. This class helps them prepare for everything that middle school has to offer. AVID teaches students organizational skills, how to write important essays, time management and tips to excel for the school year.

Middle School Libraries:
The renovated library has been a great addition to BMS. The look has attracted more students to visit the library. Now students don't only think of books when they go to the library, it conuires up a while different aspect. It is a quiet place for students to do homework, use chromebooks for big projects. Students thanked the Board for making their library awesome.

Makerspace - this is also a great addition to the middle school. The activities provide students with an opportunity to express their creativity and discover what they are good at. This is connected to the library and is a welcome addition to our school.

Female Hygiene Products - Secondary Sites: these products are a welcome addition to the girls restroom and locker room. Girls are more confident to grab the items needed and go on with their day. This provides a much needed alternative for girls who are too shy to ask for the supplies from the school office.

Promethean Boards are another welcome addition to school sites at both the middle and high school levels. They are hard to use initially but with students and teachers working together it's been easier to use and provides a better learning opportunity. In Math class, for example, students are able to write and solve their math problem directly on the board and it enables the entire class to better observe the process. The visuals provide a better understanding in courses like Biology, where students can search or draw graphs.

Hydration stations:
With the recent trend of reusable water bottles, the hydration stations have been in constant use. The use of a Brita filter attracts more students to it, knowing their water is more sanitary than their fountain counterparts. Students are grateful for the accessibility of the hydration stations. It is more convenient to refill their bottles than using a fountain.

Expansion of World Language, Mandarin and Arabic:
The addition of Mandarin and Arabic provides opportunities for students to try new languages and earn more about different cultures instead of the common Spanish and French. Students who are currently in the Mandarin class appreciate the broader spectrum of world languages.

Expansion of Career Pathways- Biomedical Science Course, Sports Medicine and Medical Chemistry:
The expansion of career pathways into the medical enables students to explore what they truly aspire to be as adults. It provides an opportunity to have an introduction of potential future careers at an early age, letting them have an early start at pursuing their interests in the medical field.

High School Cafeteria:
With the addition of the improved cafeteria at the high school, students now have a comfortable environment in which and can eat food and socialize with their peers. The cafeteria is now a more popular place for students to enjoy their lunch.

Science:
The addition of new science classes at the high school helps expose students to different career opportunities and prepare them for their future. It is essential to prepare our scholars for the rigorous demands of college and offering the advanced courses supports that.

After school tutoring:
The library is open on Tuesday and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30 for math tutoring. Students in the YLC have personally taken advantage of these and have been able to obtain a clearer understanding of what they missed in the class session. Having tutoring available after school is highly appreciated.

Quality of Food at the High School:
students in the YLC are enjoying the food at the high school. The great amount of diversity is truly admirable.

High School Marching Band:
Students in the YLC have peers who are in marching band. Their peers are grateful for the uniforms that have been provided. They are amazed that they were able obtain professional looking uniforms when you consider some schools don't have funding for them. It has helped students in marching band understand how much support they receive.


PSAT and SAT Administration at SLHS:
YLC commended the Board for enabling high school juniors to take the SAT during school hours.

AP Coursework:
We received the AP District of the Year award for a variable of phenomenal improvements. Improvements included increase in AP enrollment, more students passing AP eams, more diversities in ethnicities taking AP courses.

College & Career Center offers constant reminders and check-ins with wonderful counselors. It provides students reminders of deadlines for college applications and course requirements needed.

Improvements were addressed by both the middle and high schoolers as follows:

- Recruitment for Advanced Math in Middle Schools - increase outreach at elementary sites and improve diversity
- Middle School Cafeteria Improvements - Long lines; limited space and seating, increased supervision; cafeteria behavior
- Music facility improvements - many of the doors do not open or close properly. This music teachers and students would appreciate could use a refurbishment
- Classroom facility improvements - YLC was advocating for improvements at the high school. When it is hot the students suffer unbearable heat and have to suffer through their classwork. The students also requested better desks and chairs since most of them are old, stained or cracked. The improvements to the cafeteria are great but it provides a stronger contrast to improvements that are much needed at the high school
- Gym and locker rooms are dated and need to be refurbished

The Board commended all YLC students for their presentation









J.2. California Distinguished Schools Award for James Madison Elementary School
Rationale:

The California Department of Education recognized outstanding educational programs and practices in elementary schools for the 2017-2018 school year. Distinguished elementary schools with signature programs impacting student achievement and outcomes were selected for their standard of excellence as evidenced by their performance on the CA state dashboard and a rigorous application process. James Madison Elementary was one of the CA Distinguished Schools recognized within the state this year.

Garry Grotke, Principal of Madison Elementary School, will provide an update to Board Trustees regarding the school's receipt of this prestigious award. In addition, Mr. Grotke will provide a summary of the ceremony he and his staff attended on May 3, 2018.



 
Minutes:
Garry Grotke, Principal at Madison Elementary, detailed the school's recent visit to southern California to accept the California Distinguished Schools award.

In addition to Garry, several teachers and staff, along with Trustee Aguilar, attended this event.

He explained the application process and provided a pamphlet explaining the protocols needed to complete the application. They addressed the question posed to them by the state "what makes your school distinguished?" The principal and staff reviewed the strategic plan and utilized goal #4, Family & Community Engagement. The parent facilitator at the school site bridges the gap between families and the school to engage with families effectively.

Mr. Grotke thanked the staff at Madison, Dr. Mucetti, Sonal Patel and Alameda County, who provided assistance in completing the application.

Photos were provided and all teachers, staff and parents from Madison were acknowledged. The distinguished schools banner and award were displayed for the board and audience.
J.3. Parcel Tax and Bond Overview and OptionsWas edited within 72 hours of the Meeting
Rationale:
Mark Farrell of Dale Scott & Company will present on current parcel tax and bond measures and present  scenarios for possible future elections.









 
Minutes:
Dr. Kevin Collins, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, provided a presentation regarding parcel tax.

Mark Farrell from Dale Scott & Company will provide a presentation, consisting of three parts:

- parcel & bond tax overview
- parcel tax options for the school district
- bond options for the school district

In summary, Measure L is expiring. It generated $744,000 annually. Several criteria need to be considered:
Election date and type of election
General elections and presidential elections have been shown to have higher success rates when it comes to parcel taxes and bonds
Purpose of the tax: general or limited
Term of the tax: short term - 5-7 year range is typical
Tax Structure amount - flat per $ amount per parcel or per square foot.

Reviewing options:
based on feedback from staff they provided a range of parcel tax that generated between $1.9 million and 2.5 million dollars of funding annually for the school district. The senior exemption rate was also considered in this data.

General Obligation Bonds - review the assessed value of the school district; the district's property tax base has recovered very nicely from the recession. The assessed value has grown in the past 5 years by 4.5%.
Statistics have shown that the community has been very supportive of passing revenue measures which benefits the schools.

The school district currently has $211 million in bonds outstanding.

In terms of refunding opportunities, the next big opportunity will be in 2021.

Discussed tax rates based on assessments and that the tax rates decrease over time.

The district could place a bond on the ballot as soon as 2018. It's called a tax rate extension election.

Affordability of housing in California has been a problem in recent years. Senate and assembly bills have been presented to construct workforce housing. This is housing for teacher and classified staff. This would be rent-subsidized. The school district would construct the housing. Typically the charge for the housing would be 70%-80% of market rates in rental housing. Housing would be designed to be temporary in nature for staff to reside in these rentals for approximately five to seven years. This would hopefully enable staff to save money to eventually purchase their own home. This solution would provide affordable housing and keep staff living in the community.

After the presentation several speakers shared their opinion on the parcel tax:

Jeromey Shafer - advocated for the parcel tax. Our community would like to support this funding. Would really like to see this on the November ballot.

Stephen Cassidy - the presentation really needs the board to take charge of this district and put the best interest of our kids first. Forget a bond measure. He suggested to wait until 2020 to do another bond measure. You'll get a huge amount of money. but more importantly what is greatest need for our children at the schools? there is still more work in maintenance and renovation. Bond measures are needed periodically. Operating challenges arise. CA schools are massively underfunded and classrooms are overcrowded and teachers are worn out. We need additional revenue for our schools. but we have a challenge in San Leandro. San Leandro does not have enough parcels, literally. Of the parcels we do have, some are very large. Mr. Cassidy stated he felt the presentation was pathetically weak when it came to discussing the legality of a parcel tax other than based on a flat per parcel. He is willing to roll up his sleeves; parents are willing to roll up their sleeves also. We have a unique opportunity to have a former mayor and former school board trustees and a teachers union willing to dedicate time to pass this. There is no guarantee, but we need to do this and do it smart. We need to put the time and effort to research it properly. Suggested to have an attorney research the legality of a parcel tax based upon the square footage of the lot. Don't do it based on the dwelling place because this will get the opposition of the apartment associations. We have the chance to really make a difference for our schools. Time is of the essence.

Jon Sherr, SLTA President
If you treat all the property owners the same at the same rate, it is not questionable, it's legal. He believes this is something the board needs to consider.

He then went on to speak about treating teachers as a separate class. Building rental units as stated in the presentation would be popular with some of the younger teachers. His concern is the unintended consequences that would come of this.
1. Teachers need to be paid at a level where they can afford to live in the community. They are not to be treated as though they are on welfare.
2. There is no way that enough units would be built to accommodate incoming teachers. Therefore, you are building a winners class and a losers class, which will causes

A lot of community input and discussion by all the stakeholders need to be considered before going forward. We really want the district to look at a parcel tax.

Based on Board discussion, Dr. McLaughlin and Dr. Collins will review the options with our Legal team and will bring this topic back to the first meeting in June.

L.3. Union Representative Reports
Minutes:
Jon Sherr, SLTA President provide a brief report as follows:

Since the last board meeting he reported that the San Leandro Teachers Association (SLTA) was chosen to the Northern California pilot for membership commitment campaign. Several neighboring districts followed after our initial start. He went on to say that in a 10 day period SLTA was able to sign 97% of their members to recommit to membership next year. Staff has committed to having their dues taken out. Due to several staff on leave SLTA was unable to obtain 99% commitment.

Simultaneously, we had a disability insurance campaign. If you get 5% of your members to sign up they'll accept everyone. SLTA met the criteria.

During the first of May SLTA had their annual celebration. They rented the Alta Mira Clubhouse and music was provided by teachers in the school district.
It was well attended and had several new teachers who came from charter schools. The new teachers provided testimonials of comparisons of support from a charter school versus a public school with a teachers union. He looks forward to seeing the Board and Cabinet at their upcoming Scholarship Tea.

O.4.g. ELA/ELD Curriculum Adoption of Wonders/Maravillas by McGraw Hill Education for Grades K-5
Rationale:

The Elementary ELA/ELD curriculum adoption pilot began in January 2018. The committee is composed of 23 elementary school teachers and Intervention Specialists representing each of the eight SLUSD elementary schools, grade level K through 5th grade, bilingual program teachers and a Special Education teacher. The teachers engaged in a pilot with two programs: Benchmark Advance/Adelante and McGraw-Hill Wonders/Maravillas. Teachers participated in a one-day training in January led by representatives from Benchmark, and then began a 3 week piloting of this curriculum in their classrooms. A similar training and piloting schedule of the McGraw-Hill curriculum followed. Teachers piloted each program using both the digital and the hardcopy student and teacher materials. The committee voted and unanimously decided 23-0 in favor of McGraw-Hill Wonders/Maravillas over Benchmark Advance/Adelante.


Based on the input and recommendations of the ELA/ELD Adoption Committee for Grades K-5, the Board Curriculum Committee and the Educational Services Division, staff recommends the Board of Education adopt Wonders/Maravillas published by McGraw Hill Education in grades K-5, as the comprehensive curriculum in order to meet the demands of Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and English Language Development Standards.
