003month, and I'm gonna begin by inviting Marcy Shrunk up to the. Podium? Who's going to… chair our Special Ed Student of the Month for September. Um, good evening. My name is Maricela Schrunk. And I serve as a Solano County Special Education Teacher. On the Gretchen Hagen campus in Dixon. And it is with great pride and joy. That I am honoring, um, Charlie Zek. As our Solano County. Student of the Month. He is in first grade. He's made incredible progress and continues to shine. Each and every day in our special education program. This is my third year as Charlie's teacher. He began with me in TK. And it's been such a gift to see how much. He's grown, and how much progress he's made in his independent skills. He has shown continuous growth in all academic
004areas. From pre-literacy. And writing to math and beyond. Every week, we see more confidence. Stronger skills, and greater willingness. To take on new challenges. His communication and social skills have grown tremendously. And it's been a joy to watch him build friendships. Express his ideas and participate more actively in the classroom. In his General Education Inclusion classrooms. Which he has 3 inclusion teachers this year alone. Um, and around campus. But behind Charlie's success is a tremendous team. And he's so lucky to have a family that truly partners with us. There is amazing support at home. The dedication and support from his mom, Katie, and dad, Steven, are what every IEP team dreams of. And the consistent communication between school and home has made a significant impact in Charlie's. Educational and social growth. This strong connection ensures
005that learning continues beyond the classroom. And that Charlie always feels supported and encouraged. But there's asking thoughtful questions. Being a kind friend, or showing determination during a tough assignment. Charlie shows us every day what it means to work hard. Grow and never give up. We're so proud of you, Charlie. And all that you've accomplished, congratulations on being our Student of the Month. Ooh, look around! Congratulations, Charlie! And I'm done. Charlie. Thank you, Nick. It's more to be in that nice soup. All right, thank you, Charlie. Congratulations. Next up, we have our JCCS Student of the Month for September, and I invite Dr. Garrett up to the podium. Okay. Orchestrate it, make it right. All right. Good evening, trustees. It is my esteemed honor to be joined this evening by our program administrator. Uh, Ms. Nicole
006Ruiz. And our fabulous academic intervention teacher, uh. Ms. Linda Pitts. Tonight, the JCCS department is honored to, uh. To have, uh, I can't even get it out. I can't even get it out. I'mma take my time. We are honored, uh, this evening to, uh, present to you. Uh, Jesse, our, um, September 2025 Student of the Month. And I'm gonna get through this and wait till I get to my car and reserve my tears. But, um, I want to let you know why, um, Jesse was chosen by our, uh, department to represent as the Student of the Month. What's Jesse's last name? Jesse, um, Garcia Hernandez, he is two last names, so I want to make sure I get it right. Jesse Garcia. Hernandez. Jesse is an exceptionally smart young man. He has worked so hard
007on his classes. Every day that this young man gets out of the car, he greets all of us with a hug. And it's so respectful. He's such a role model to the other students in the classroom that they're trying so hard to emulate him. To work on their classes and do like Jesse's doing. We only have a couple of weeks left, um, with Jesse, because he will be moving on. To his new school, but I want to tell all of you, it was hard. Driving over here today, because we know that our time with this young man is so limited. And I just want to take a moment. To say to Jesse's family. You guys did an amazing job. Raising this young man, and every day that he comes to that campus. He reminds all
008of us about the value. Of students, the value of igniting. The love of learning. Every day, he represents your family with excellence in class. And we just want to tell you, as a school, it is an honor. To have your son in our school, and every time you guys drive up to Golden Hills. We are honored to be a part. Of this young man's life. So we thank you for Jesse. Thank you. To the board and everyone listening, to the students that are out there listening. Jesse is representative of what can be done. He's representative of how, when you set your mind to something, no matter what obstacles you face. You can get over them and become a success. And our staff overwhelmingly. Selected Jesse to be the September 2020… JCCS, Student of the Month.
009Congratulations, Jesse. Congratulations, Jesse! Congratulations, congratulations. You're welcome. Next on our agenda, we have the 2024-25 unaudited Actuals. And the report is included in the packet for your information. But should you have questions, we have Director Lenz in the room. I'd be happy to bring her up to the podium if they… There are questions. Anyone? Move on to the next item. 7c, quarterly disposal of obsolete Inventoried Items, also attached for your information in the packet. And also, Director Lenz, available for questions. Alright, seeing none, none. Next item is the charter school update. Um, I would like to begin by, uh, commenting that the last couple of meetings, we have some unfinished business in terms of a couple of items that the board is. Asked about. So before we go into our normal monthly report, I'd like
010to bring Courtney DeGroff and, uh. Just means right up to. Front-load our report with responses and an update. To those two items, so I'll turn it over to Courtney. Good evening, trustees. Um, so as you recall, probably the last few months, there's been some questions regarding the 23-24 audit report. As well as the biannual Risk Management Audit, and so. Go staff has offered Dr. Bishop the opportunity to come tonight's meeting to answer some of those questions related. So before we dive into the normal, regular update, we wanted to provide an opportunity. Welcome, Dr. Bishop. Always good to see you. Yes, ma'am. So, um, that was interesting wording, because I volunteered. Come and speak on behalf of these two items. Um, first one being the risk management report. And so, were there particular questions about that
011item? It has been received by you. We've received it. So were there particular questions? I think, uh, Trustee Dean had questions on it. Okay. Last time, and… Hopefully she'll be here. Okay. Um, just quickly, the reason that item was delayed is because. Um, you may know, well, Jazz will know, but you may not know. Um, that we changed insurance companies last year. Um, so we moved from the insurance company we had. To an insurance company called Charter Safe. And whereas the insurance company we had prior. Was very much engaged and understood that we needed this extra inspection each year. Charter Safe was not as prepared for such. So, something that would have taken, you know, a month to get done. Actually took… about 8 months. We were working on getting them to come out. Not
012through any fault of their own. There were a number of things that caused the delay. One, the representative changed over, so it was a brand new representative trying to hand… handle a brand new issue. Um, and then two, they needed to find somebody to actually do this inspection. Which is not something that is part of their normal protocol for their charter schools. So we finally did get it done. It's very comprehensive. I did send it forward the moment, um, that we received it to Jazz, and she hasn't. If there are other questions, I'd be glad to entertain them now. Possibly get the report, and then… Over here, or…? Yeah, can we… The report first, and then maybe there'll be questions. Sure. Okay, and then as it relates to item 2, that is the audit. Um,
013I did have our attorney draft a memo to you. I was asked to provide my communication with my attorney, which I never do, that's… attorney-client-privileged communication. But in lieu of that, we did have him draft. A memo that was written to the board. Which I did forward to you, President Coleman. As well as to our new, um, superintendent, Dr. Parr. Congratulations to her. In a nutshell, what happened there is… Um, we had an audit done. We are looking for non-monetary resolutions to that audit. We've been writing to the California Department of Education for such. In the meantime, the communication we received was. But the audit was in question. So, um, we had to send our actual audit back. To our auditor, so they can make some adjustments in the final balances. Those balances were adjusted,
014they made their changes. And they sent it back to the California Department of Education. Um, when that did happen, I did send that to Jazz as well. And now, California Department of Education is considering our appeal. Which, for non-monetary findings. One of the reasons that I questioned whether this was. Um, the way it's being marked is that. Uh, we are… What is your category that you market? Needs attention. And so, needs attention would mean that there was something that we needed to do. Yeah, it needs attention, but we're just waiting on California Department of Education to. Do what they need to do, um, to make those adjustments or not. And then, should they not make the adjustments, then we would put the amount that they. Put down that we owe into our budget and move
015forward. So it's not like anything needs attention, we're just waiting for a timeline that is yet to be determined. So our attorney did reach out to you in a one-paragraph memo. Um, which has been received, I hope, by President Coleman as well as Dr. Parr. And I saw that she's not here yet. Um, but I just wanted him to be able to communicate that to you so you know that we're not. Looking the other way, or waiting on these items, we are actually addressing them. I did receive the letter and all. Wonderful. Let's be sharp. Do you know what the timeline is that you're… I mean, I know. You can't. Yeah, so I asked the attorney the same. I asked him, is this common? At first, he said it was common, you know, a couple
016months out. Now he's saying it's a little different… not as common, um, just as far as the timeline. So, we're just waiting on that. Thank you so much. Actually, I have… Something on the human resources? Question, um, and maybe this is better for just. When it's your turn, but just clarifying some questions on the staffing? Very basic, um, in the narrative, it says that staffing list is up to date. The snapshot that we receive says that staffing has, uh, there are vacancies in the staffing. And I just want to confirm that these are. Two different things, the staffing report versus. Vacancies. Um, is there a, um… If the staffing report is up to date. I'm curious as to what needs attention still. Is there a ding based on… Vacancies, or what are we waiting on
017there? Uh, good evening, President Coleman, trustees. Uh, so yes, all of their documents have been submitted. I actually… I was telling somebody that one of the things that gives me the most joy is how. Much collaborative work we're getting done together with Elite. Um, and just their growth. As an organization. Um, all their stuff is in. Um, the… So, yes, they're getting us the information, then we review that information. To see what staffing challenges they're facing currently, and so that's where. Whenever any of us actually meet. The state ideal, it would say. The top-tier reading, because there's nothing to do. Well, unfortunately, there's always going to be… Something that comes up. So that's… that's why you see that for anything. They're working on vacancies, like. Teachers who may be coming in from outside the country
018or the area who need. Michigan, so they have a sub in there at the time. So the state would look at that as. Didn't get the person in there on time. Someone like myself, I see you found somebody? So this is great. Does that help at all? Yes, thank you. Almost amazing, don't ever lose Paul. Let's do you… So, based on the information. Provided, would that still be a needs attention? So we keep it at needs attention so that we keep it on our radar to check in and say, okay. So how has that person arrived? What can we do to get a. Document in place to show the state. If the state was to walk in today. Go, why is this person in the classroom? Can we say. Because they have this legal authorization
019to do it. That's what the needs attention is, that we're working on getting those to the point where they're stable. This is great. When I see needs attention, I think it's… Charter school needs to. Maybe we can have a little narrative. So we can kind of understand exactly… And it really is collaborative. Yeah, it is a… You know, usually it needs attention, and I kind of… With HR background, it means something is wrong. And what you just said is nothing is wrong, but… I think… I think you could… there's a… it's kind of a mixed area, because they… if they were to stop working towards bringing. Those people in, or not get us documents to help them get the rest of the way. And we would have a difficulty. Um, so I think it's really…
020There is a tension that they need to keep paying to it. But there's also a tension. We need to keep paying to it because we want to support them. Maybe the heading just needs to be… change to something… Like pending. Pending, yeah. Opposed to needs attention. Or maybe a little summary at the bottom for certain areas that you know that they're up to date. But you're just watching out, waiting for them. This gives us a better understanding of where things kind of. Right, and not, like, flashing red lights and… Yeah, exactly. Understood. Um, so, potentially, maybe on the narrative, um, under the human resources, could we get. Monthly, um, maybe just a listing of what vacancies there are, so that we're really clear. Yeah, it would… it would follow from the most recent data, and
021so. And we could also, once you've looked at that in the meeting, if you have. Questions to say, did this, anything change? We can let you know. Oh, yeah, that person's. So we… we keep you fairly up-to-date that way. Yes, I thought I could just be added to the human resources part, that would make it very… Okay, and it would be… general, like, we wouldn't want to put educators' names on there. No, no, no, but just the position. One position, one middle school teacher needs this, you know. Right, yeah. Understand about me. No. Thank you, Dr. Bishop. Dr. Bishop? Good evening, trustees, and… Deputy Superintendent Henson, and we just went over some updates, some updates from our Elite meeting. On September 3rd, they are very excited. Their sports teams have. Kicked off, football, volleyball, girls.
022Um, flag football, they've also started a middle school team with that, and girls volleyball. And they're very excited, and keeping very busy every weeknight on these games, so… You got the, um, update from Dr. Bishop, so we're gonna move on to our reporting schedule matrix. These are things that we received after August. 25th? There's quite a few items, so I'm gonna, um, try to go slowly. Master schedule for September. Our certificated staffing list. For September. Substitute log. May, cash flow. The bank statements for May, June, and July. Proof of insurance, mandated reported training, the mandated suicide prevention training. The student discipline policy. And the concussion protocol. Um, as a 5 p.m. Today, the following items are past due. Per the MOU, um, the elite must complete two biannual risk management audits. The parties have agreed
023that the Williams Act visit counts as one of those audits. Sco is currently in the process of the Williams Act visit. So we'll have an update for the board next month regarding the two audits. So they did complete it, but they have… time to remedy it, and then we'll bring both audits to you next month. And then we… the… another item past due is the August oversight fee. And the June cash flow. Any questions? Moving on to the narrative, um, Elite was able to meet with us on September 3rd. And no updates there. Any questions? And then, no updates to the snapshot. Any questions on that? Okay. And then Courtney has an update as well. Wanted to kind of close the loop and confirm, is there any direction? I hear Trustee Dunn, you shared about
024on the narrative on the HR piece, providing. Listings of the number of vacancies. In terms of the snapshot or anything else, I heard some discussion about changing the title. Sco staff wants just to make sure that they continue to collaborate on the oversight. Is there any direction. You have for staff that you would like to provide? Moving forward. Other than changing that one column's heading. I don't know if you can do the whole column, because… I think I can… can we… do you mind putting up the snapshot? For a moment, please. Thank you. Um, I know we've had some discussion about, like. Expanding or reducing the number of columns. The idea was, like, meets expectations is, like. 100% A++. If an auditor were to come in, or if anybody were to come in, everything is
025great. Needs attention was more just, like, there's something that we're continuing to discuss with Elite. I.e. The audit report, right? We don't know right now, will there be penalties associated with that? Will there not? So we want to make sure… it doesn't mean it meets expectations, because we want to make sure from an oversight perspective. That it's not, um, you all thinking, like, everything is A++, and then one day we come and say, oh, by the way, there's. $100,000 in penalties. So that's more to keep you all updated that, you know, SCO staff in collaboration with Elite. Is continuing to monitor that. And then once we go to the right, those are more the serious ones, so the idea was to keep that needs attention as, like, less. You know, concerning, but obviously if there's
026a. Term, that would be better. We would happily, um. To that. I just wanted to explain, sort of. The reason for the needs of attention, as opposed to the… Notice of concern and notice of violation, which is like, hey, this is, like, a problem, as opposed to, this is just, we want to keep this on your radar. Um, on a monthly, monthly basis, so… Courtney, if I may, um, since, uh, Trustee Dean was the one that actually had the questions at the last meeting, and making sure that the board is completely informed. Um, could you just give a recap, since she was unable to hear? On those two items, please. Sure. So, um, there were… and I know Dr. Bishop is here as well, so I don't want to… Paraphrase inaccurately for her. There were
027two… questions that kind of have been ongoing regarding the biannual risk management audit. As well as the 23-24. Audit report, and so Dr. Bishop has provided an update. She… she was… Karen was able to provide an update on both of those. Um, as to the 23-24 audit report, there's a communication that has come from Elite's Council that was sent to, um. President Coleman today, and so that will go to Monica, that will then be sent to all of you to provide an update on that, but basically. Still waiting on the CDE. Did I get that correct, Dr. Bishop? Okay. And then as to the biannual risk management audit, there was a changeover in the organization that they used for that, so if you recall, there were some findings. Under the, I think it was the
028spring of 20… for… audit. Um, they have since gotten a new company that has been completed, and so next month. There'll be an update both for, and I don't know if you heard the ending part for Jess, um, regarding that one, and then if you know, if you recall through the MOU. There's two biennial risk audits, but the parties. Already, sorry. Attorney and me. Um, or the board, excuse me, and Elite agreed that the Williams complaint. Can be the, um, the second one, and so SCO staff has completed that, and there'll be an update next month, basically. On both of those audits for next month. Add on that? Oof. Alright, so our next item is Quarterly Report on Williams Uniform Complaints, of which there are none. And after that, we have our Human Resources Report
029and Temporary Certificates. And Mr. Manolo-garcia is here to give you a report on those. Thank you very much, and good evening, President Coleman. Distinguished Board Members. Um, you have the staffing report there for this past period. Uh, significantly less than… glass, in which we had over 30 new hires. Um, and did want to let the board know that we are continuing to fill vacancies. October 2nd, um, at Irene Larson, we have our SCO job fair, so… We'll continue to recruit, and hopefully find some great candidates that come out of that. Um… something that, um… has been asked in the past is. Where are these, uh, new hires coming from? So… actually quite a… quite a diverse, um… Group that we have, um… Some are coming from graduate school. Some graduating high school, some from the.
030Private sector, um, some coming from public agencies, um, neighboring cities. Um, other school districts, even outside of Solano County as well. So, um… And, um, we are… we, at the moment, have others. We are processing to hire, so… We continue to be very busy in that realm. Uh, in terms of, um… and… the certificates of… clearance you have there, uh, the report, so if… If there are any questions, I'm happy to entertain them at this time. So, how many new hires do we have? Um, this last period we have… And where did they go to? Yeah, we, um… Thank you, President Coleman. So, from special education to student services, predominantly. They're all going to special education, with the exception. Going to our Student Services Division. Any other questions? Thank you very much. Garcia? So, uh,
031we're gonna open the public hearing. For Resolution 2025-2026 Efficiency of Instructional Materials. Staff will present results of an internal audit. Instructional materials in accordance with the law requiring an annual public hearing declaring. Compliance of sufficient textbooks and or instructional materials. Consistent with State Board of Education adopted lists. For all students served in Sco's Court and Community Schools. And proposed resolution number B25-26-03 will be presented for the Board's consideration regarding the sufficiency of textbooks and or instructional materials. Tonight, we have Dr. Valerie Garrett from Educational Options, um, to answer any questions you might have about this item. Dr. Garrett. Thank you. Had no… nothing removed from the consent item, so we're moving on to board discussion. Oh, we need a vote? Okay, we need an action to consider adopting Resolution Number B25-26. Second. Been moved by
032Trustee Cohen-Thompson, and seconded by Trustee Thompson. Rusty Cheek? Yes. Trustee Cohen-Hompson? Std? Yes. Sdan? Yes, Misty LaBelle? Yes. Trustee Coleman. Agenda items removed, there were none. Board discussion. And A is A, C, C, B, Board Representative. We received a letter from. Uh, the president of AC… Requesting that we possibly appoint an… Um, to their board of representative. We'll open discussion on a representative. Going to the ACCBE. Did we send somebody as a room? Okay, well, there is no… Agenda item. I mean, there is an agenda item, but no motion, so… Moving on to meetings. Coleman? Oh, we can't speak. Can I speak to this? Yeah, you can speak to this. The invitation invites the board president. To attend. Or to a point. A representative. I just want to note that. It's not like we're saying
033no. Right. We even know… so… We're just… there's an orientation, do we even know when these meetings are? The orientation is September 15th, in 5 days. Did they meet, like, monthly, or what is this? Quarterly. Quarterly. Would be four meetings a year. I guess you could have been… I haven't been to one, so I don't know. Across the street. Trustee Cheek has so graciously volunteered to represent the board… I make the motion to, uh… Make that motion. Make the motion to appoint, uh, at least. Trustee Elise Cheek, as the ACCBE Board Representative. God bless you. I'll second that motion. Trustee Sharp made the motion. I seconded the motion. Would you like discussion? Bye. Okay, roll call vote. Trustee Cheek? I see Cohen Thompson? Yes. Trustee Dean? Yes. Yes. Trustee Lavelle? Trustee Sharp? Yes. Trustee Coleman?
034Definitely, yes. Thank you, and that passes. Meetings on special dates attached as a list of upcoming. Coming meetings, events, and special dates for the board's. Members' participation and information. Any question on any of that? Board member requests. In accordance with Board Policy 9250, board members may request to represent the. In an education-related activity? Specify the desired label. Support necessary for the activity? Actual and necessary expenses incurred while discharging these official duties will be paid from the County School Service Fund. As permitted by law and SCO's travel policies. In the item. Are there any. Board member request. Suggestions on future board agenda items. Board members may request future topics to be coordinated by the county superintendent and presented by SCO staff or. Internal presenters. Trustee Sharp. Okay, I'm gonna carefully thread this needle, but I'm gonna
035watch Dana just in case. Um, I'm in receipt of the letter from Vallejo City Unified. That we received. Um… This is the second time in two months. That we've been called out for. Interesting legal opinion. And it is certainly not the first. Instances that we have received questionable. Advice from County Council's office. Um, I would like to add a discussion next month. About ensuring council who represents us. Has a deep knowledge of education code, rather than a gen… Than just a generalist. This is not attacking anyone in particular, or anyone in this room. But I think we have a legitimate concern about. Our representation that needs to be discussed. By the entire board. And I think it should be timely, and get on the agenda. So, preferably next month. May I add a suggestion to
036that, please? I think an important topic is… When the superintendent went… the shared legal counsel. The superintendent and the board. And where that's appropriate, and where it isn't. So that's actually a pretty in-depth. Discussion. I appreciate that we want to do it. Quickly, but it could be a two-parter, I'm not sure, but I would… feel like we weren't really covering the whole… Of it, if… We didn't delve into that, because it's quite significant. I think it is, too, but I hate to see the sig… the… of that prevent the expeditious handling? Of the initial concern. Alright, and get it on the agenda. If it looks like we're not going to be able to get it on the October agenda, we can… Call for a special study session. So, we can make that our study session.
037Um, now we could go. That's a great idea. Let's not dawdle. I said, let's put the study session. On the October calendar. Later in October. Do you have… do you know of any… Yeah, so you'll have a date by the time we do the. All right. Anything else for a future agenda item? Moving on to… Board member activity reports. Board members may give a brief report on their. Recent education-related activities, including visas to Snow program sites or attendance at. Conferences, workshops. Start with Trustee Sharp. I attended Nikki… Dr. Parr's swearing-in, and it was wonderful, even virtually, it was… Absolutely amazing to watch. And then I was at the… at a lovely breakfast on Labor Day with the unions, and it was a lot of fun, too. So, that's my report. Busy with all things school.
038Okay, Trustee Dean? Um, I attended the swearing in of Nikki. Far? And… As a result of that trip. Did a lot of really excellent seafood. At incredibly low price. And saw a science that said gasoline was $2.39. Yeah, no joke. It was a lovely experience. I was honored to be there. And I enjoyed my company very much. That's the main thing. Trustee Cheek, don't have anything to report this month. Trustee Cohen-Thompson. In my time and send Miguel, Mexico. Sure. Happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico. Stays in Mexico. Trustee LaVelle? Um, I've spoken about this in the past. Forgive, um, repetition, but in my work at the literacy office. The bulk of the work is with adults who need help with their reading, writing, or English skills. Um, but we have been expanding. To, um, address
039some of the low literacy rates with our kids. And we have, uh, we've held now two. Iterations of a summer program at the JFK Library, working with kids there. And, um, but realized that. If we're really trying to meet the needs of kids most in need, we need to be in the schools. And, uh, we got our foot in the door with Fairfield too soon. And hit a roadblock. A major, um, pile of paperwork hit us, and, um. I… I called Scope. And in the face of so many, um. Legalistic reasons to not do it. Um, the SCO team jumped into it and eased the burden. Um, loosened up the log jams, got it all working. And we're in. And, um… In particular, uh, Jesse. Uh, Jesse, Jesse Kangura? And, um, and her colleague Chandra.
040Aim to our training. And did the fingerprinting and live scan for 10 people. In the midst of a major allergy situation. Jesse was suffering, and um… and she powered through, and um… Made it happen. So, it was… It was a delight to… See that in the face of… bureaucracy, and opportunities to say, no. Um, the SCO team said yes. Thank you. Me, okay. Oh, and September is National Library Card Month, right? Uh, get your library cards. My 4-year-old already has her library. Uh, this month, we attended Dr. Parr's swearing-in. The nicest people in the world live in Mississippi. I can attest. Even little kids stop you and say hello, have a good day.
