Mr. Larry Arnold commented that he had been at a previous board meeting to discuss an item at the high school and that he was glad to report that it was being moved on. He also wanted to acknowledge the new board members and thanked the Board for all they do.
Mr. Adan Alonzo, Ms. Reina Guzman, Ms. Olivia Montion and Ms. Veronica Sanchez came up as a group. Mr. Adan Alonzo stated that even though they were speaking as a group each individual will partake their three minutes.
Mr. Adan Alonzo, a parent of a junior at San Leandro High School, commented that he has a concern that has developed at the high school regarding a vacancy that currently exists in the music program. The permanent instructor that was hired for this position is no longer there. Mr. Alonzo filed a parent complaint in reference to Education Code 35186, which requires that parents be notified that there should be no teacher vacancies or misassignments in accordance to this procedure, parents will be notified when such vacancies exist. He stated that he documented three dates; November 28th, November 29th and December 5th, where there was no teacher or adult supervision present during the class to instruct the band students. Mr. Alonzo also stated that the District is not providing the appropriate instruction and guidance for our students, how can this happen? He commented that he appreciated receiving a call from the Superintendent McLaughlin in regards to his follow up and the immediate action that he took and Deputy Superintendent Mucetti going to the school to follow up on it. The instructor that was leading the class was taken out on the 28th of October, it is now December 6th and there is no consistent substitute teacher or the substitute teacher is missing. We can't have students teaching our students. As parents, they are there to find out what plans does the District and administration have to handle this issue.
Ms. Reina Guzman, a parent of a band student, commented that she had spoken with the principal regarding the lack of instruction students were receiving and student safety being compromised. Ms. Guzman commented that she understands that it is difficult to find a teacher but not impossible. She asked that the high school music program be taken into consideration and stated that they want this program to continue.
Ms. Veronica Sanchez, commented that she recently moved her band student to another class because she was not receiving the adequate education, however she is hopeful that something is going to be done. Ms. Sanchez has a son in middle school and wants to make certain that her son is able to take band next year and she is not sure that this is going to occur. She stated that Mr. Leese worked hard during the sixteen years that he was here and she was lucky to have her oldest daughter taking four years of high school band. Ms. Sanchez knows that the District is working hard to find a replacement like Mr. Leese, but in the meantime she took her daughter out of the class since it was not a safe environment and she was not receiving a quality education.
Ms. Olivia Montion stated that she needed a translator and Deputy Superintendent volunteered. Ms. Montion commented that she was there because there have been incidents in the classroom with the substitute and she has filed a formal complaint. To this date she has not heard back regarding this complaint. The substitute in the class sent her daughter off campus during instructional time to purchase a coffee. Ms. Montion stated that her daughter is feeling very discouraged and disillusioned and no longer wants to participate in the music program. She is here because of the disillusionment that she noted in her daughter and feels that other students feel the same. She is hoping the Board will find a resolution quickly. The substitute in this incident that she described returned back to the classroom to provide coverage and treated her daughter disrespectfully and she hopes that no other students are treated this way.

| The following board policies (BP) and administrative regulations (AR) have been vetted by staff and reviewed by the SLUSD Policy Committee on 11/29/16, and are being recommended for board approval. Below is the list of board policies and administrative regulations along with a description that highlights the adjustment being made.
BP and AR 1330 - Use of School Facilities - This BP/AR had not been adopted during the last policy overhaul that was conducted in 2014. SLUSD needs to adopt this BP and AR.
BP 5147- Dropout Prevention - Revision includes updated CSBA policy recommendation. Revised policy removes the language stating outreach consultants as only listed strategy to support students at risk of dropping out of school. Revision states that support may include, but are not limited to strategies listed under #1-10.
AR 5149 - At Risk Students
- AR 5149 is a new AR. This AR will position the district to have the option to build an intensive, comprehensive tier 3 intervention program for students at risk of not graduating from high school early on in their high school career based on a set of academic and behavioral indicators.
AR 5121 - Grades/Evaluation of Student Achievement - This AR revises the process and timeline for the withdrawl from classes. Revised policy now states that during the first 15 days students will receive no entry on their permanent record. In addition, the policy indicates that students who are granted a drop after the 15th day to the end of the 6th week of the grading period will receive a W on their permanent record; after the 7th week of a course, students who drop will receive an F grade for the semester on their permanent record unless otherwise decided by the principal or designee that the withdrawl is due to extenuating circumstances.
BP 6146.1 - High School Graduation Requirements
- Revisions to SLHS graduation requirements within the policy include the following changes: 1) one course in visual or performing arts AND one course of world language, including American Sign Language 2) changed language from Practical to Technical in one course of CTE and 3) removed one semester course of Health and Safety and added must meet requirements for AB 329 (NOTE: SLUSD will still continue to provide Health and Safety course as the avenue for meeting AB 329 with the majority of students).

Attracting and retaining substitute employees to cover the absences of regular employees is a problem being faced by school districts across the country. Providing competitive compensation is a significant factor in the recruitment and retention of these employees. Recently several neighboring school districts have raised their daily and hourly rates to address this problem. For example, the San Lorenzo Unified School District currently pays substitute teachers $170 per day (the SLUSD pays $150) and indexes the hourly rates of classified substitutes, such as para educators, to their classified employee salary schedules. Attached to this agenda item is a proposal to increase the hourly and daily rates of substitute employees to keep our rates competitive with neighboring districts. If approved, these rates would become effective for the January/February pay cycle, which begins January 11, 2017.
|
| |
| This items was pulled prior to the start of the meeting. |
Approve the proposal to increase substitute employee rates. |
The estimated cost of this increase is approximately $160,000 per year across all district funds. This general fund impact will be offset by substitute costs charged to restricted funds, and by reduced overtime and "in lieu" time costs. |

In order for SLUSD to meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards, the district recommends purchasing additional Chromebooks for classroom use. The district has been steadily working towards their goal of a 1-to-1 student to device ratio. Chromebooks will provide student access to a variety of blended learning tools while also ensuring the classroom is equipped to integrate technology into daily teaching and learning. The NASP Value Point Contract (formerly WSCA-NASP) will be used as the purchasing vehicle.
