001in session. Daddy, did we need to do the translation? Oh, put that. Okay. foridentific Forew gracias. This time we're really convening into open session. Can I get a roll call, please? Joanna. >> Yes. Trusty Shay >> here. >> Trusty Richardson, >> President. >> Trusty Lamb >> here. >> Vice President Murray >> here. >> President Anthony >> here. >> Pledge of Allegiance, please rise. To the flag, United States of America and to the one nation land acknowledgement statement. We acknowledge that the South San Francisco Unified School District is located on the unseated ancestral homeland of the Ramatu Shaloni peoples who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Ramatouch community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples. Reporting
002out from close session. >> Nothing to report. >> Thank you. Uh in the review of agenda, we do have a change on one item that is item uh 2A. uh we will be approving um or considering only the the agreements with partner and school innovation. So we will not be considering the contract with learner center collaborative at this time. It will just be partner and school innovation. All right. And when we make a motion, we'll have to make sure that we change that. Okay. PTA council remarks. I don't think we've got anyone. Um, staff association representatives marks. Uh, I don't see Elizabeth, so I will invite you up, Sherry. Good evening, members of the board, SSFUSD community and cabinet. My speaking voice isn't 100% tonight. And being that it's mid July, activities between SSFTA, the
003school district, and our members have been much quieter. So, I'll be fairly short in my remarks and and I thought actually I'll attempt to be short in my remarks. I hope everyone had a nice Fourth of July, whichever way you celebrate it. The summer months are a time when I hope everyone gets a chance to reflect on the past year and look to the future to pave the way for more efficient paths to improvement and success. During the year, when I had time to scroll through social media posts, and that wasn't a lot, I kept seeing posts from a middle school principal named Principal Lamb. I thought his ideas about supporting teachers and students were, if not new, at least a change from the way support has been for teachers in recent years. With August
004right around the corner, here are some of Principal Lamb's practices mixed in with some ideas of my own I am hoping are already or planning to be implemented to promote staff's sustainability and student safety. Here are a few things teachers find a waste of time when they are constantly thinking about their classroom environment in August. Gallery walks. Limit gallery walks in PD sessions. Stick to what is needed for teachers to know. Cut meeting ice breakers. Teachers will get to know each other eventually or they already do. Forget about asking teachers to write on chart paper or add sticky notes. They would prefer to work on anchor charts to use in their classrooms. Recognize that teachers need time to set up a an appropriate learning environment. Administrators should check in with their teachers daily. Listen to
005concerns and try to problem solve. Acknowledge the challenges they face. Limit annual required trainings when possible or at least put off annual required trainings until classes have started. Prep time needs to be prep time. No meeting should take place then. And here are some thoughts on creating a safe environment. Students need consequences for their behaviors that do not promote learning or safety. Restorative practices have their place in schools, but consequences do too. Teachers need access to their students discipline records to know what has been helpful in addressing previous behavior. The school violence prevention plan should be reviewed with all staff. Administrators could be strategically placed on the campus during hall passing times. This would cut down on problems between students. Administrators should address profanity, play fighting, and tardies and absences with timely consequences like lunch
006detention or inschool suspension and or calling family. Administrators should be willing to step into a class or remove students to keep the classroom environment a positive learning space. Thank you for listening and I will see all of you in August. Thank you so much. I hope you're enjoying your summer. All right. Item I, Personnel Commission. >> Our first personnel commission meeting for the 2025 2026 school year will be held on Monday, August 18th, 2025 in the district office boardroom. >> That's great. Thank you so much. Item J, items from the board. All right. Item K, Superintendence Report. >> Thank you very much, President Anthony. I have just a few brief remarks this evening. I wanted to first welcome both Dr. Nia Campbell and Dr. Marcos Garcia, our newest members joining cabinet. We of course have
007a lot of work to do to realize the promises that we have made to our community with our strategic plan. And I am just grateful and so excited to welcome two talented leaders to our cabinet team. I also wanted to apologize for misspeaking in my superintendent remarks at our last June meeting. I indicated that our steam program is at Sunshine Gardens in Spruce. I looked back at my remarks. I have no idea why I said that because the information I had written was accurate. So to be clear, the steam program this year has been at Aloma Middle School. I apologize for noting the wrong school in my remarks. Please charge it to my head and not my heart. And with that, that concludes my report. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. All right.
008Item I L or item L, public comments. Public comment for items not on the agenda should not exceed 30 minutes. Public comments are limited to a maximum of three minutes per individual. In order to accommodate more speakers, the board may present at their discretion uh limit the individual time per speaker to one or two minutes each. But we only have three comments. Um I have Jace Marzan. You can get started if you want to. Good evening, school board members, cabinet, and SSFUS committee. My name is Jace Marzarzan, and I am honored to serve as the new wellness counselor at Los Critos Elementary School for the upcoming school year. I'm here tonight to respectfully request your support in allowing me to attend the upcoming school counselor association annual conference otherwise known as the ASA conference. I
009also wanted to note that an El Camino High School counselor will be attending conference as well as our counselor on special assignment. I also wanted to note that I was a counselor at Westboro Middle School for four years and was the head counselor over there. With all three of us going to the conference, we will have the perspective of different levels from my future elementary school experience and my past middle school experience to the high school experience as well as the KOA's experience with systems at the district level. I hope to attend the conference with them, exchange ideas and also bring back knowledge I learn to the other counselors here in South City come the 25 26 school year. As we begin building this program in the elementary schools from the ground up, I want
010to make sure I am bringing in the best practices to support the unique needs of our students and really push the portrait of graduate and continue to become an empowered educator. Thank you. >> Thank you so much, Jason. Welcome to your new school. >> Um, all right, Emily Ward, where Hello, I'm Emily Ward. I'm the CEO of Cruz Media. Um, thank you so much for members of the board, also members of the cabinet and the school system for having me here and giving me a warm welcome last time. And I'm back again actually to talk about what we do and to meet some I think new members of the cabinet today. So, please bear with me while I tell you a very short story. So, for about 30 or so years, I've been a member
011of the tech community, an executive um legal executive with PayPal, eBay, and other law firms. Um, my husband and I were on a journey uh to try to adopt a child. And as luck would have it, we ended up adopting a child from China um on the day and we flew back from China on the day of my 50th birthday. So, some people have that journey earlier on life. Mine was uh much later in life. I will say that having a child, you know, it it really just turns your life around. Nothing in your life is the same after you have a child. Our son now is 11. Please don't think about my age, but our son now is 11. And watching him grow and seeing the things he's interested in and excited about has
012really been in education. A lot of times we notice even though he goes to a very good school, he's not excited about schoolwork. It just doesn't turn him on. He just doesn't get engaged. Where he really gets engaged are things that require creativity. And those are the things that give him great confidence. And so as we've observed our own child and then really kind of seen a lot of other kids along the way, we took our technology which we had used um video streaming technology for um pilots for Showtime and other you know sizable enterprises and we decided let's try to do something for kids to increase their confidence and creativity. So, we take our video streaming, make it a private video platform for schools. Kids are on Tik Tok and YouTube all the time.
013I don't want my kid posting stuff that I know is going to be seen by other people. So, our video platforms are limited just to the school. It's just for students, teachers, coaches, administrators, and families. It's a great way for parents and principles and teachers to communicate back and forth. It's a great way for kids to be able to post videos and really be engaged and they get a media arts education and it's all very safe and secure. So for this I would also say say it's funded by Proposition 28. Keep in mind Proposition 28 is a three-year trunch. This is your last year. You use it or lose it. So I'm back here again to actually make a plea. Thank you for our product and also it becomes a video yearbook. So, thank you
014so much. >> Right, Michael Harris. You You're up, Mike. Good evening. On Tuesday, I learned the Measure J. Bonds were f sold with a 5% interest rate. The current resale above par sale sale price is 88%. Cindy Alier confronted Michael Krauss over the bond sales. I talked to Cindy this afternoon. She is watching it on Zoom. Cindy did not remember if she ever knew this was at 5%. The call back date on this is 2031. The bonds expire in 2038. Evidently, there are still some measure C bonds out there because when I talked to my new broker in San Mateo, he mentioned they expire in a couple months. Uh Patty Murray and I were both of the opinion that these were all paid off. Evidently they are not. Uh this looks a little fishy. Title
01518 USC 1961 at seek. It's been a United States code since the Nixon era. It covers this. My funeral of law is United States labor law. United States criminal law goes with the labor movement. have dealt with these problems since about 1985. Any member of the public can request a member of the legislature to go to this assembly senate joint audit committee and ask for an audit of school district. That's the only way it can be done. The last audit done here that I remember on the web was about 98 pages. I believe I centered around the link around but I didn't of course have time to read the 98 pages. I think a forensic audit should be done of the measure C and measure J bond fiascos. Salam Samad complained to me about what
016Larry Scott was doing and others. He told me Larry Scott was fired. He took the job over and then he was fired. He wanted to be paid what the job was worth. He was being paid 70. He wanted to be paid 125. I think this should be looked into. Uh Bob Richardson, Tom Carney, and I were all involved in trying to get to the bottom of some of this. Tom's third report was 56 pages. I sent it around and it was posted on everything South City. I cannot find it in my email. Want to conclude with a quote from Shantaara. What have you learned today? What have you taught today? And then one more. Where everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much. Thank you so much. All right. We have no information only presentations,
017no presentation with credential action. So we will move on to item O, the consent agenda. The following items are submitted for board approval. One motion will authorize action for those items so designated. Any questions or comments on this item? >> Yes, I have one correction, >> President Anthony. Uh on I on page 43 >> under transfers for one of our employees, it should read from Westboro Middle School to Los Cerritos Elementary School. H. It's our person right here. >> Our person is here. Hello, Jace. >> Thank you. >> All right. Super. Thank you so much. So, um, can I get a motion with the correction on page 43? >> So, moved with the correction on page 43. >> Second. >> All right. Motion by Murray, second by Lamb. Every call, every vote tonight will be
018roll call since Trusty Shay is joining us remotely. Um, can I get a roll call, please? >> Trusty Shay. Yes. >> Trusty Richardson. >> Yes. >> Trusty Lamb. >> Yes. >> Vice President Murray. >> Yes. >> President Anthony. >> Yes. Motion carries 5-0. Congratulations. Good luck on your conference. All right. Information, discussion, human resources 1A. uh the Williams uniform complaints for fourth quarter ending 6:3025. >> In accordance with education code section 35186 enacted the following William case settlement. All California school districts are required to prepare quarterly reports summarizing the nature and resolution of any Williams uniform complaints received. These reports must be submitted to the county superintendent of schools and publicly reported at a governing board meeting in April, July, October, and January, even if no complaints were received. For the fourth quarter spanning April
0191st, 2025 through June 30th, 2025, one complaint regarding facilities was filed. However, it did not require a response. >> Thank you so much. All right, moving on to the action portion of our agenda. Uh 1A, administration approval of district's new or updated board bylaws and policies. Staff recommends the approval of the following new and updated district board bylaw and policies. And we wave a second reading except where is noted as presented to the board. And we have here eight uh wait maybe more. Is everything on the first page? Yes. >> Eight items. I'd like uh item one a number four lease to come back for a second reading. Uh there needs to be some uh change in the language and uh board policy 3540 number item 7 for transportation. There needs to be clarity uh
020on uh so both those have to come back for a second I I move that they come back for a second reading. All right. Um I don't have a second. Um so let's discuss what you are interested in changing. >> Well, uh the sale or lease of district owned property requires a more in-depth uh report to the board. Uh I requested some clarity on the two items which is exempt property and which is surplus property and um I the response I got raised more questions and uh that's why I wanted to expand on it before uh we change the language in any way and I don't know how we're going to change the language but um based on that uh response from the superintendent then I request that it come back for a second reading
021anyway. And uh number seven, item seven is transportation. Uh there's questions about whether or not uh who is eligible to receive uh district funded um transportation and uh I understand that it is only if the students have an IEP and that's not included in this policy. So those e either of those have to come back with a better um uh explanation on who is eligible for uh district funded transportation. Okay. I am not understanding the issue on board policy 3280. Um the revi the proposed revision reads before taking action to dispose of any land the board shall declare at a regular meeting supported by written findings that under the surplus land act the land is either surplus land or exempt surplus land. I don't first of all I don't think we're taking action to dispose
022of any land but this seems like a good practice if we were to dispose of any land but I don't think we need a report to have a policy around what we would do. >> Yeah. And I would just add like I think my understanding of the policies was just you know we're trying to align language to what's updated what's being updated >> with state laws and so forth. That's why I had uh requested that we either have a study session so that the board better understands what properties we have available and which are considered for each category. Like I don't know what exempt surplus property. >> But we're not taking any action to dispose of any land. This is just a policy to put in place. So, if we were to take action, >>
023in order for me to understand what I'm voting for, I need to know what it is uh exempt surplus property means in the legal sense as it pertains to this LA education code item or policy 3280. And that's I mean, normally all of these would come back to our second reading and this uh just needs a little more clarity. I just think that we would be better. I didn't know that that there was such a thing as exempt surplus property. If anybody knows uh you know I would appreciate if you share that information with me but as it stands I think the board could be better know what they're voting on if they were able to uh understand what each of the surplus uh means because that uh it just goes into a lot more
024than than the policy uh mentions and I just feel that it would be better for all of us to understand what we're voting on in regards to this. >> I'd like to make a motion to approve all of the policies and wave the second reading. >> I second. >> All right. I've got a motion uh to approve all policies and wave a second reading uh by Murray. I've got a second by Sheay. >> I I may I tend to agree to perhaps pull the two items. So, I don't know if I can make a Oh, getting into Robert's rule. Okay. Well, we Why don't we vote on this motion? >> We didn't have a second on the first motion. So, the motion failed. >> But the policies normally should come back for a second reading.
025>> And she's proposing that we wave the second reading. We have a first and a second. So, we can take a roll call vote and you can vote no. I mean, that's an option. So we we like you had already made a motion motion that is on the two items but it failed already. So we >> your motion to have a second reading on two items didn't get a second so it failed. We have a motion on the floor to pass all with a waving of the second reading. We have a second on that motion. So that motion is on the floor. Okay. Let's let's put it this way. Let's have a discussion. What is exempt surplus property? Do you know? I would like to share that information because I don't know. >> I don't
026need to know because the policy is what we would do if we were going to be getting rid of property, which we are not doing at this time. >> Well, I don't think >> if we were going to be proposing that we get rid of property, I bet you get a report on all of that. >> You know, if somebody says this is exempt surplus, do you know what that would mean? The surplus land act applies to land that is up for sale and whether it should be used for housing. If you have surplus land act, it says that if you need to use the land, if you have surplus land, land that you are trying to sell, >> if you have land that you are trying to sell, it has to go to housing
027first. >> Let's read what the policy says. 32 >> I did read the policy >> again. >> All right, let's read it again. >> The policy says If >> okay, it says right here, policy 3280. >> The the board shall determine whether the sale or visa the surplus property subject to review under California SQA. Now, see, you don't know what the first thing that says is if we are going to be selling property, we are not selling property. This is a policy that we are putting into place should we decide to sell property. >> That we would be better informed if we um >> have a study session call it out as a study. >> Okay. I'm going to recommend that you vote no on this policy. >> Had a chance to um >> Okay.
028And then uh here here's the proposed it says the land involved is exempt surplus land as specified in government code 54221. Now I don't know what that is but I would like to know before we approve this policy. >> Okay. The beautiful thing is is that we're not selling any land in this policy. So you have time to read it regardless of whether we pass it or not. Yeah. So that's why that's the purpose of bringing it back for a second reading. >> Okay. The motion that's on the floor is without a second reading. Can I get a roll call vote, please? >> Trusty Shay, >> yes. >> Trusty Richardson, >> no. >> Trusty Lamb, >> no. >> Vice President Murray, >> yes. >> President Anthony, >> yes. Motion carries 32. Thank you. Okay, we'll
029move on to one or 2 A, teaching and learning. A approval to renew agreements with partners in school innovation. This is a revised item. So if we have questions or comments, uh they should be directed only on the contract on partners in school innovation. Any questions or comments? All right. May I get a motion to approve just the agreement with partner and school innovation? So >> moved. Second. Got a motion by Murray, a second by Sheay.
