The Stupski Foundation has approached the district's Food Service Director regarding a $75,000 grant.  Food Service would like to use the grant to help fund our new freezer project which was already approved by the Board.  The grant would pay for items required work such as a concrete pad and electrical work that cannot come from regular cafeteria funds.

The Stupski Foundation has provided an agreement for the receipt of funds which is attached.  

Staff is recommending that the board approve revisions to the attached Pandemic Services Assistant classified job description. This revised job description has been ratified and approved by the CSEA board.

SLUDS installed a new Wi-Fi system this last summer via E-Rate Category 2 federal funding available for Wireless hardware and related equipment.  Now that the system has been installed and has been running for some time it is necessary to go through and calibrate the system for our specific buildings and construction materials.  Staff is requesting approval to engage with professional networking consultants to perform this work.

The proposal between Sonday System and San Leandro Unified is to purchase 8 Sonday System 1 and 8 Sonday System 2 Dual Delivery Kit, featuring the Classroom Instruction Kit and Classroom Station as well as access to the online teacher resource kit, that provides all the flexibility needed to provide traditional in-classroom instruction or instruction via distance learning. Professional development and training will also be provided to elementary intervention specialists. The benefits of the Sonday System method:

• Covers the Big 5 essential components of reading in every 35-minute lesson plan
• Instruction based on skill or stage rather than age or group
• All lesson plans included along with necessary materials
• Offers flexibility for use by highly trained teachers or those with little or no language training
• Non-consumable materials with no need to buy replacements each year

Recommend approval of M&O blanket orders for services needed district-wide for 2021-2022 fiscal year. 

On September 20, 2021 Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order waiving the application of AB 361 until October 1, 2021, when the provisions of a prior executive order that established certain requirements for public agencies to meet remotely during the COVID-19 emergency will expire.

AB 361 extends the flexibilities provided in the Governor’s prior executive order to local and state bodies to hold public meetings electronically beyond the executive order’s September 30, 2021 expiration date. The order specifies that for any meetings held to determine if remote meetings are justified beyond September 30, local legislative bodies must follow the statutory requirements established by AB 361.

The action provides clarity for local legislative and state bodies about the applicable requirements for holding remote meetings.

With AB 361, San Leandro Unified School District can continue to hold Board meetings via Zoom provided a few conditions are met.  Since Alameda County’s Public Health Department no longer has a social distancing requirement, the District’s Board must make a finding that in-person meetings “present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.” 

A service provided by the California School Boards Association (CSBA) is to provide school districts with recommended updates to school board policies. When the district receives these recommendations, they are reviewed by staff, sent to the San Leandro Unified School District (SLUSD) Board Policy Committee for review, and then sent to the Board of Education at a regular meeting for approval. SLUSD is committed to ensuring that all board policies remain current and updated.   The board policies listed for adoption are provided below.  A summary of all policies listed is provided as an attachment item.

The SLUSD District Server Room currently has generator backups but no room-wide battery backups.  When power cuts out it can take up to a minute for the generators to activate which means equipment can suffer a loss of power during that time.  An abrupt loss of power can damage sensitive equipment and cause data loss.  The room is also physically at a low point in the construction of the facility which can cause water to pool into the server room during heavy rains.  This proposal is for a new battery backup system and rack units which allow us to elevate equipment from the bottom of the floor.
