Um the first speaker is Lilling Pang. Um Leling uh is speaking on an item that is not on the agenda. >> Is Lilling um in the room there?
005>> Hello. Yes. Okay, got it. >> Hi. So, I'm Leling Pang. I'm a parent with three kids who have been um living in Pacifica for the past 25 years and I have my kids are almost all grown up now but um uh we've all three of them have been in public schools in Pacifica and Daily City. So, I'm speaking to you today because I'm representing um a group of parents who have really come together to uh put together a charter school proposal. And um what we are envisioning is a school that um really prepares kids for the future. And um we really would like to um share with you a little bit more about this school. Um and we hope that we can be having conversations with you. But tonight we're just coming coming to
006introduce ourselves so that you put thesis two names. Um so the team of families who have come together um what we really it's parents and educators that have come together and we believe that um in the power of hands-on learning. Um, a lot of us have had kids who have gone through a school, um, Ocean Shore School in Pacifica that is just had 50 years of this legacy of a beautiful way of learning that really, um, helps kids to develop the critical thinking skills and really um, learning how to um, really interact very well with one another. they do we do a lot of teamwork together and so um we see the importance of that and we also see the value of thinking about the future and what are the skills that the kids need
007in the future. So, we teamed up with um a group of educators um and we really sat down together and we kind of looked at what are the disruptors that are coming up for our kids. And of course, it's no surprise climate change is an issue. Um the AI revolution um is going to really disrupt the kind of skills that kids are going to need. um and the geopolitical uncertainties that this generation is going to face. Um they need to have those human- centered skills, right, to be able to address those. And so we we came together and um we really felt that we need to think about retooling public education in a meaningful way. Um, and our educators have decades of experience in experential learning, in project-based learning, and in environmental education. So, that's
008the team that's come together. Um, and we would love to set up a time with each of you to be able to share a little bit more more about our plans um, and to get your input. So, I look forward to that. >> Thank you. Um, the next speaker is Joan Weedman. Hello. Um, I'm Joan Whitman. I've been a Pacifica residents for 30 years. Um, I am a retired math teacher and a past school board member. And so I come to this team with that lens. Um what excited me is about Ocean Shore Ocean Light School is about preparing all students all students for high school and beyond. Um and the way that we plan to have tackle that is through project-based learning and experiential learning. That's a process that really engages kids in their
009in their in deep learning and it offers students a variety of ways to demonstrate knowledge and understanding. So it empowers students to be a part of their education and and be engaged in that. I really saw as a teacher the benefits of that kind of teaching with our English language learning students. Students who are trying to learn a language need to have concrete and visual representations and tie that to the to the the words that they're hearing. And I found that experiential and project-based learning really addresses those types of issues. And the collaborative work that's done gives students um who are learning a language the opportunity to practice it and and grow and learn in a really safe kind of fun environment. Um it also the CL all these processes also work for students who
010um learn in different ways or or process in different ways. And so by offering project-based learning and experiential learning, you can really allow kids to tap the information that's coming in and provide them opportunities for for demonstrating their knowledge um and understanding. Um I also feel pretty strongly about uh TK aid environment having students be in a community for 10 years now with TK. Um they get to really build a sense of community and relationships. Um, and that really provides continuity for students and that's an important kind of piece for me and that helps them give a real sense of place and purpose. For older students, it really helps them develop leadership and mentorship skills. And when they develop those skills, especially at the middle school age, they're building confidence in themselves. And I sees
011those students go on to be confident in high school and advocates for themselves and even beyond um what beyond the high school environment. Um, and a lot of these skills that we're talking about are the human skills are going to be so cru crucial as we move forward and we're battling what happens with AI and that's a whole new frontier for all of us in in the education field. Um, and I also really realized that I when I read the um the community report that was produced for you or um the 2024 about the need for serving the the students of the north county. That is our vision just to to to provide an opportunity for families to have a choice in a different type of learning and make that available to the community at
012the north end count uh the county which has really traditionally been been un underserved. And so that's why I'm passionate about this project and um jumping in full force to really make this vision um be a reality because I believe that kids and families need an opportunity to have these type of experiences. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mrs. Weidman. Um, our next speaker is, and excuse me if I uh uh mispronounce your name, Siobhan uh Ganguli. Thank you. Um, so I am Shiovani Ganguli. You're very close. Um, I moved to the Bay Area about 30 years ago to study science, technology, and society at Stanford University. After that, I lived in San Francisco and worked at a hardware startup for about 10 years, like much of my cohort. But I really wanted to move towards
013more purpose-driven work from regular tech to focus on climate change, which I believe is the most important issue facing us today. So, I went to Presidio Graduate School to get an MBA in sustainable management. This enabled me to shift my career and I now work as a CFO and COO for renewable energy companies. Over the last 20 years, I've worked with more than 100 startups and nonprofits to build sustainable, impactful organizations. Along the way, I moved to Pacifica and became the solo parent of a neurodeiverse 8-year-old who loves steam, science, technology, engineering, art, and math and projects. Like me, he learns by doing and creating through projects and experiences. I'm working on Ocean Light because I believe that this is the best way to prepare our future leaders for the world ahead for problems and
014opportunities around climate change, poverty, social justice, AI, technology, and aging populations. I'm also excited that we have both the team and the seed funding to be successful. This enables us to work with legal, financial, and HR professionals along with educators and parents to plan and budget and to make sure we are well supported by these charter school experts as we create this school. Thank you for your attention this evening. I'm looking forward to sharing more of our vision of o of ocean light with you in the future. >> Thank you. Um those are all the cards that I have. Uh President Torres, >> thank you so much. A public comment addressing a specific agenda item will be heard after the board's discussion on the item. Um, if members of the public wish to speak to
015a specific agenda item, please use the raise hand feature when the item is announced or if in person, submit a card in advance of the item. Item 3A is the July 2025 employee of the month. Kylie Carpenter, administrative assistant 1, curriculum and instruction services, educational services division.

Thank you. That's all. Thank you so much. We have item 4 a um the introduction of Aula Fairley, coordinator of district improvement and support educational services division. Coordinator Fairley. >>
019Good evening, President Torres, members of the board, Superintendent McGee. Thank you for allotting this time this evening for me to introduce myself to some of you and reintroduce myself to others. My experience as an educator includes teaching sixth grade in a multi-ubject classroom in Prince George's County, Maryland, and in Fremont Unified School District, where I also served as a literacy coach, a program improvement coordinator, and principal. During this time, I also spent my summers training teachers across the state to use one of two state board of education adopted English language arts programs based in the science of reading. And then following my time at Fremont Unified, I came here to SMCE where I served in progressively more responsible positions over a 13-year period, concluding with my position as senior executive director of board and superintendent
020support and community relations. After this, I accepted a position at the Santa Clara County Office of Education, where I served as the executive director of the charter schools department. The department has a portfolio of 21 charter schools and a contract with the California Department of Education to provide training, networking, and mentoring to charter school authorizers across the state. And then on July 1st of this year, I began my new position here at SMCE as coordinator of district improvement and support. In this position, I will be supporting a small group of of LEAs um with their LCAP writing approval and implementation. I will also serve as the Tensley voluntary transfer um program lead and charter school authorizing lead. Um additionally, I will also support the Williams uh visits and do interd district attendance appeals. Thank you
021for your time this evening. Welcome. I've only heard great things since being here for the last 20 minutes. Um, so for item 58, is there a motion to approve the minutes of the June 25th, 2025 regular board meeting as presented? Is there a second? >> Second. >> Thank you. There is a motion to approve the minutes of the June 25th, 2025 regular board meeting made by Trustee Leb and a second by Trustee Alvaro. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed say no. The motion passes with a vote of 70 and the minutes of the June 2025 or 25th, 2025 regular board meeting have been approved. Um item six is the consent agenda. The consent agenda is not debatable and requires a unanimous vote for passage.
022An item may be removed from the consent agenda and placed on the regular order of business for separate discussion and action if any member of the board, the superintendent or the public so requests. Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> So moved. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> Thank you. There is a motion to approve the consent agenda made by Trustee Gerard and a second by Trustee Alvaro. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I. >> I. All. Those opposed say no. The motion passes with a vote of 70. And the consent agenda has been approved. For item 7A, Kevin Bolta, a deputy superintendent, business services division, and Tammy Moore, Associate Superintendent Personnel Services, will present the public disclosure of the classification and compensation study negotiations
023agreement between the Sanato County Superintendent of Schools and California School Employees Association and its chapter 789 and 887 as well as the unrepresented confidential employees. Deputy Superintendent Baltimore and Associate Superintendent Moore, the floor is all yours. >> Uh, good evening, uh, board president Torres, members of the board, Superintendent McGee. Uh, we provide this as information related to a settlement agreement we reached with, um, CSCA 78987 and our unrepresented confidential group. It represents implementation of the classification and compensation study. Um, furthermore, we're pleased that um, this agreement um, doesn't really harm anybody who is currently an employee and will allow all employees to um, receive benefits associated with negotiated compensation increases in the future. And I point that out because often when you implement a class and compensation study, you may have to go through a
024process they call Y-rating where you would actually hold somebody's salary until at such time it caught up. We were able to um I would give a lot of credit to to Tammy and her team. They ultimately came up with a solution where um we are able to um put people that may have been impacted in that way on a separate salary schedule and um then we were able to implement the full classification compensation study for everybody else. So ultimately the financial impact of this is represented here. We think the total cost is approximately $632,000. Represents almost a 4% increase and those will be ongoing dollars that will pay be paid for from our unrestricted general fund and our fund 20 for our um early learning program. So this does not close compensation for the 2425
025year. That will still be open. uh but it does implement the classification and compensation study and this will um finalize that agreement for all classified groups. So I will say um this is the third classification and compensation study I've been involved with and I am pleased that we have been able to implement this within a year of the classification and compensation study being completed which I will admit I was not optimistic that we would be able to accomplish that. So anyway, with that information, uh, we're excited to present this to you this evening. >> Are there any comments or questions from the board? Trusty O'Neal. >> Hi. Um, this is probably kind of a rhetorical question, but on the second page where it's this chart, fiscal impact of proposed agreement, you have um, under the
026columns year one. Is there supposed to be decimal points in there? Because it says four and then 1,313%. >> Yes. On the percentage, there should be a decimal. There was on the clean copy, but not on the copy that was put in the board. >> Okay. Someone reading this looks at a 4,2,000. >> 4.1313. >> Okay. I just wanted >> I'm sure our members, the union members would love that, but >> Yeah. Well, I just wanted to be sure it was in the record that there is supposed to be a decimal point there. >> Yeah. It didn't show up in the in the copy, but yes, it's >> other comments or questions. >> Are there any comments from the public? >> Um, no comments. >> Thank you. Uh, there is no action to take on
027this item. Um, for item 7B, the public hearing on the initial proposal for the California School Employees Association, chapter 887 to the Sanonteo County Superintendent of Schools for the 2024 2025 successor collective bargaining agreement is now open. Would anyone like to speak on this issue? >> We have no hands raised online. >> Great. And none in person. So, the hearing is now closed. Um, for item 7 C, the public hearing on the initial proposal for the San Monteo County Superintendent of Schools Employees Association, chapter 887 for the 2024 2025 Oh, my apologies. Oh, wait, no, there we go. Sorry. Um, 2024 2025 successor collective bargaining agreement is now open. Would anyone like to speak on this issue? >> I see no hands raised. >> Thank you. and none in the public as well. So, this
028hearing is now closed. For item 7D, we have the superintendent's comments. Superintendent McGee, do you have any comments to share? >> Yes, I have a few comments. Um, I just want to uh acknowledge the time of year. Um, as we work through the summer, um, one thing we've been very busy at and being very successful at, I would say, is our hiring new staff and onboarding new staff for next year. Um, of course, every year we have people um, moving into the county, people moving out of the county, um, people pursuing different kinds of work. So there's lots of turnover and um new staff starting and so we've we've been very successful at filling positions. I believe that um to a large degree most of our positions are filled. We have a few very important
029teacher positions that we're still um working on. Um having Meila Fairley back in the um uh Sonteo County Office of Education is an example of the quality of uh new staff that we're able to attract right now. Um, NEIFA is uh has brings an exceptional uh breadth of knowledge and um understanding of not only the region, the Santa Clara San Mateo region, but also the San Mateo County Office of Education and um knows a lot about our own school district. So, she's um starting ahead um which is not always the case when we have new staff, but we're uh actually thrilled to have her back um working um as a member of the one SMCE family. So, Mea uh welcome. Um it is ironic that um Mea's first meeting there are two um interd district
030attendance appeals. So, she's uh getting started right away. So, it's nice that she's bringing all that experience to have a smooth evening. Um, additionally, uh we use the summer to provide um unique trainings to all of our school districts. For instance, this week is the TK Institute um providing training for our um early learning teachers and um our curriculum and instruction staff is very involved in that. So, um we do a lot of cross collaboration across disciplines um in the summer and we carry that through obviously through the school year. But in the summer, we have a little bit more time to dig in and really understand the strengths that we all bring from our different areas of expertise and then um provide that in our trainings um for our school districts in a time
031when they also have a little bit more breathing room to learn and prepare for the new school year. Um, in the theme of learning, um, we're doing something, uh, new this year that we've never done. Um, it is called the Day of Discovery. It will be on July 24th. And um the day of discovery, the county office will be closed to the public and all of the uh members of our staff will be down at uh Sabrad uh just down the street. Um learning together in a like a an SMCE conference. So it's for all of our own staff. Um it's like a conference where you sign up for different um sessions through the day. Uh people who are putting on the sessions are SMCE staff as well. So folks are both teaching and learning
032um on that day and we're really excited about um the concept. We believe it will be uh a really great way to continue to learn about all the different work that's happening out of the county office and um and also doubling down on the collaboration and um teamwork that we need to do for our school districts and our students to make sure that they're getting the best kind of training and support possible for their success. So, um, we're excited about that. And, um, that, uh, does not conclude my comments because we have, uh, a number of birthdays in the summer. Let me find that. Um, so, we've got, uh, Chris Shou, uh, who is out on vacation this week, uh, with a birthday. She kind of kicks off the summer birthdays, uh, on July 25th.
033Um, Mary Young uh will celebrate her birthday on August 2nd. Um, sharing a birthday with Mary Young is board member Patricia Love, whose birthday is also August 2nd. And then um uh pulling up the uh the final summer birthdays um in August is uh Beverly Gerard, board member um whose birthday is on August 10th. So uh happy birthday to all of you and um we look forward to um wishing you a uh happy and successful year ahead. Um, so that now concludes my comments. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um, for items 8A and 8B, the board will move to close session to hear inner district attendance appeals 25-5 and 25-6, both filed on behalf of students currently residing in the South San Francisco Unified School District, but requesting to attend school in the Sanonteo Union
034High School District. Before we begin, are there any comments from the public? There are no hands raised. >> Thank you. Upon conclusion of both close session items, the board will return to open session to report on any actions taken in close session. Thank you. >> That's your Uh we are returning from close session for item nine. Uh we will report on actions taken in close session. For inner district appeal 25-5 uh the board voted to deny by a vote of 61. For inner district appeal 25-6. Uh the board voted to deny by a vote of 70. Um for item 10A, the board will discuss agenda topics for the September 17th, 2025 retreat. Um Superintendent McGee. >> Uh thank you, President Torres. the um the board will engage in a retreat on September 17th during the
035time period of their normal board uh board meeting. So the retreat will begin at 7:00. Um the um we would like to begin preparing the agenda for that um meeting and um this is an opportunity for the board to weigh in on ideas for topics that you would like to dig into. um thinking about the fact that there will be one retreat um in September that will kind of set the the the course forward for the for the following school for the um for this school year, the 202526 school year. Um so um we don't have to um complete a an agenda tonight, but it would this is a good opportunity to um propose ideas and then have the board discuss um so that we can work on it between now and um the beginning
036of September. So I'll turn it back to you, President Torres. >> Thank you. Um, does the board have any suggestions or ideas that they'd like to throw out? Trusty Love, >> um, I just had a question sort of what is your goal and vision for the retreat? Like what would so that we could kind of plan for that, >> right? Um, I think primarily just to align in um, our work moving forward um, so we can better support each other. um since um this is like the first time it's a complete team. Um and just making sure we have that time together to just like get to know each other and figure out how we best work together and knowing um yeah just how to move forward together as a team. >> That's helpful. Thank
037you. >> Yeah, Trusty Benini. Um, is it is it anticipated that there will be um just us and staff or um and superintendent or um a facilitator? >> Yes, we're looking into a facilitator outside of um the group. >> Okay. And then follow on question is uh one with um experience in um our type of a body. Uh yes. Um I know we had a certain person in mind, but I haven't been able to check in to see where we are with um that person, but I don't know if um Trusty Gerard or Superintendent Mickey you want to add to that. >> Oh, if there's anything you want to add. >> No. Um but uh the particular person we had in mind has been out of the country um for the last at least three
038weeks and so as soon as he comes back we'll be talking to him. Um and I think it he would be excellent for uh the type of um retreat that that we were thinking about where we talk about our priorities. Um, and I think one of the things that I would like to talk about is individual priorities and how we use those to form board priorities because we can't have seven different individual things. We've got to work together as a board. And so I think um that's one of the things we really need to talk about is being a team and how do we work together and the protocol we use uh in doing that. >> Thank you. I will say to the person that we had in mind um when we were having the
039conversation, Superintendent McGee, Trusty Gerard and I all had the same person in mind. So, we're hoping that this person is available and will be able to um support with the facilitation. Trusty O'Neal. >> Um a question. Previous boards that I've been on when we've had that we've met with individually with the facilitator. Is that going to happen with this one or is it just here? Um, I think that depends on their availability and what their process is, but that's something that we could bring. >> I'm just asking, you know, to know that's all. >> Yeah, >> it's true. >> No, but that's helpful. >> Yeah. >> Um, other ideas or suggestions? >> Trusty Alvaro. And just a simple thing that might be a reverse suggestion having facilitated a thousand things like this myself is that
040we we try to keep the idea the agenda small and leave lots of air for discussion because I see you're all nodding. So you're all thinking the same way. Yeah. because if you cram too many things in, then all of a sudden we didn't get to those four things and we had to cut off discussion on this one. And so just try to have more time to to interact and and talk about the process that we're talking about. >> Um I agree. Uh oh, Trusty Bonin, did you raise your hand? >> Oh, sorry. Um, something that I know Trusty Love has brought up that I would like us to explore. Um, it could be an action item that we work on after the retreat. Um, but it's having like a selfboard evaluation. Um, so that
041way whatever we agree upon at the retreat, we can have like a reflection session or something to see how we've done with um, what we've agreed upon. So that way we can just continue to improve as a board. >> Trusty Lev. >> Yeah, I didn't bring that up because we have a governance meeting. So it'd be interesting to think maybe what are some strands that connect those these two things, you know, start a conversation, finish it in November, somehow relate that and yes, the self email. >> Yeah. Thank you. Um I don't see any other hands um for suggestions. Um are there any comments from the public? >> Uh there are no hands raised. >> Thank you. There is no action to take on this item. Um for item 10B, uh when an ad hoc
042subcommittee meets or a representative attends a meeting related to their given assignment, board members may choose to bring a report to the board at this time. Would any board members like to report out? Trusty Lev, >> sorry. Yes, I do have a little update. Um, the ACCB um, advocacy committee is going to be meeting in August. I can't go. Vice President Gerard's going to be there. I'm looking forward to hearing what their priorities are and bringing that back to the subcommittee possibly and helping fill out our agenda a little bit even though it's already pretty full. Um, and what priorities we have that we can take there as well. Um meanwhile the subcommittee continues to be focused on the adequate school funding task force work and the plan moving forward is as follows. Um interns
043and Senator Becker's office are doing research on some questions that came out of this process. Um executive director Ian Bane is going to pull all the information together, create um a report using the interns research and other research and the task force meeting in information. Um he'll share a report and get task force feedback at a hybrid meeting on August 25th. I'm sure Jennifer will let people know about that meeting. Um and then bring a draft to the board that includes the task force's input um on September 3rd sort of for discussion and then people can review it and then bring it back to the board for approval um at the retreat on September 17th. So, I guess that's an item for the retreat. And um then we're going to work with um other CEOs
044or COE's. I've reached out to ACCBE about this and the de legislative delegation to build support and narrow the work once we kind of know what we're recommending. >> Awesome. Thank you. Um would other board members like to report out? Trusty Gerard. >> Yes. Um today uh the uh housing subcommittee um actually met um with our heart group and uh looked at a property um called Crystal Springs Terrace in San Bruno and uh it's at 2000 Crystal Springs Road and uh it was u a very nice uh piece of property and uh I'm sure that within the next couple of meetings that we'll be getting a lot more information about it.

047birthday to Trusty Love and Gerard um in August. And also uh the only comment I have is just to please continue keeping your minds and just be aware of students and families who are continue to be afraid to participate in school and community events because of ice rates. Um uh last week I had another family who really uh just there was a situation in South San Francisco which it it didn't really was um a raid but there was presence of ICE because of other reasons the police was uh communicated but I think it's important to just create that awareness. There's a phone number. I don't have it with me, but there's a phone number where people can and family, again, I'm thinking of family, students in our districts in Sato County, just to uh have
048the knowledge of there's a phone number they can call and make sure whether is is is um there's presence of ice or not in their community. >> Thank you. Um I have the number for the hotline. Um if there is ICE activity in Sonteo County, um the hotline is area code 203 6664472. >> Thank you. Uh Trusty Benini, >> I don't have any comments. >> Thank you, Trusty Love. >> No comments. >> Thank you, Trusty O'Neal. Uh, Vice President Gerard. >> Um, I I actually don't have any comments either this evening, which is remarkable, isn't it? >> Oh, then I'll be quick. Um, okay. Because I have two comments in regards to two of the conferences um that I've attended since um our last board meeting. Um, the first one being Kelsa, the California Association
049of Latino Superintendent and Administrators. Um, great work. Um Edward James Almo was there to discuss his um youth film project and the importance of of having a different outlet for students um in the school so that um they're successful in the arts if they're not successful in other areas. It does help um bring out their passion and they do great work and partnerships with a lot of um counties and schools throughout California. Um and I just returned today from CAPS. It was my first time at this event. Um, the California Association for Black School um, educators and it was such a welcoming and inclusive um, conference with so many different folks there um, about supporting um, our black students in particular. So, I'd love at some point to to discuss um more of the beautiful
050learnings that happened at that conference, but just very grateful for the opportunity to be in those spaces and um to learn so much for CAPSY. Uh Colin Kaepernick was there to also discuss um the importance of AI and uh making sure um we're bringing our students and families up to date with um current technologies and advancements. Um so, I will end there. Um, item 11 is the adjournment. So, the next regular board meeting will take place on Wednesday, August 20th, 2025 at 7 p.m. And this meeting is now adjourned. >> Good night, Nancy. >> Good night, everyone. Uh, good meeting.
