003was approved tonight by sorry I did not keep track. F motion by board by board member Cho. Sec and seconded by board member Han. Sorry. Yes. Sorry. Uh up next is reports to the board. Uh Dr. Wesley, superintendent report. I think we just need a second to get it up on the board, but um there it is. And my report is just a quick highlight celebration of last week. And what I think is really cool about our promotion ceremonies and graduation is that they have these traditions and um not everyone can attend them all. So wanted to highlight what they were. So we'll go in alphabetical order. Here's Alta Vista. Um so their tradition is a clapout. Other schools have that as well. you kind of see at the bottom lefthand corner where the fifth
004graders walk out and the students in grades TK through four um give them high fives. Um another tradition you're going to see is the seniors the seniors go back to their elementary school and they walk through the classrooms and they get to hug and greet um and thank their teachers um so where they started. So it's a really cool tradition. So here is Burl's um tradition there. And the burl tradition is really sweet. The kindergartens sing kindergarteners sing a song to the fifth graders during the ceremony and the day prior the fifth graders sing a song to the kindergartens. Um I also want to take a moment to thank our PTA because you see a lot of the balloons and the um all of the decorations and that's because of our parent um and PTA
005support at each of the schools. So when you see the slides, you'll notice that um Bernie, they have a fifth grade kickball game um right before the day before the ceremony. So that's their tradition. Don't tell Mr. Winkler. Um at Jefferson, um you their tradition is also to do the clap out, but they also have a tradition where as the student is walking up to get their certificate, um it is the teacher their teacher reads when I grow up and then the student has written what they want to do when they grow up. So, it's really cool to see uh what their future careers are that they're aiming for. And then you can see pictures of them doing the clap out. Um at Lincoln, they have um a Walk of Fame tradition as well. So,
006here you can see where the seniors are walking around and acknowledging being um greeted by the younger students um as well as the fifth graders walk along with the seniors. So, that's their cool tradition. at Madison they sing to the audience and it sounds like they had a concert because they sang several songs. Yeah, they have a performance. So they actually come and sing sever you can see the songs here that they sang um before they received their certificates. There is Toita. They also have a clap out and as they're doing their clap out throughout the school weaving in and out um the school's playing loud fun music over the loudspeaker and everybody comes out for them. Washington. Um, they sing their school song. They have a student come and sing their school song. That's
007that's their tradition. Moving to the middle school, Adams does the Adams salute. So, students are acknowledged for things that they do, volunteer work, hours that they spent helping out, tutoring, etc. And then they do this single clap after each um each student that's acknowledged and those students stand up. It's really cool to witness. um Paris they their students speeches are linked to a theme that is selected by the students and our continuation school Patricia Dryler um it's really sweet at the very end each student gets a rose and then that student gets to go to the one person who made the greatest impact on them um throughout their journey while they are um working towards their diploma and you can see here that that rose was given to a teacher In the middle, um, at
008the middle, sometimes it's a teacher, sometimes it's a family member. There's a South Bay Adult School. Uh, this is a just such a heartfelt ceremony. These are our adults, graduates who um came back to get their diploma. And what their tradition is that as they come up to get their diploma um their future plans are read out and many of them want to go on now to college um or get a job in a future career. So it's a it's a emotional ceremony. Our high school has many rich traditions. It's a beautiful ceremony um something that everyone should watch at one point. But the three main traditions are the mantle bearer bearer ceremony which as you know is the um when the highest GPA junior um earns what's a robe with um since 1911 it
009has a um what is that a patch that is created by the mantle bearer on this gown. So, it's a 1911. Imagine a gown that was given from a woman who uh one of the administrators who had gone to Stanford and you can see all of the patches. Um it's really cool and it's a very delicate and fragile thing, but it's given to now the the top junior of the class and next year that will senior will give it to the next junior and it's passed on to the top junior according to their GPA. Um also they celebrate and acknowledge their 50-year graduates. So the class of 1975 was in attendance and the seniors clap and cheer on the the seniors um who graduated in 1975 and they also do a lunchon for those graduates.
010So they get to come back toward the campus and just have a lot of fun memories and be acknowledged by the seniors. And the last is the tassel turn ceremony. Another fun one where they go out and they form this huge circle um after they've done their tassel turn and then once a bell is rung they all run in and throw up their hats. So that's that's fun. We celebrate our graduates going off all over the world. Um some more fun speeches and it's a be again a beautiful ceremony. We're proud of them. We're proud of all of our graduates and fifth graders going on to sixth grade and eighth graders going on to nth grade. And um this is posted on our website as um board member Flynn asked under the highlights that you
011can look at it if you'd like to. This is what is also on our social media and this was the high tide um version. So this presentation will also be posted on the website under my page for anyone who wants to kind of look it up. but lot of great um colleges and universities and international and then we also have um about a dozen students who are going to be serving our country in various branches. So we're proud of them as well and of course our students going on to community college um before they since it is free um before they go on to that uh university. And that is the end of my report. Thank you. Thank you. That brings us to our hearing section. This is a public hearing where members of the
012audience may address the board on any topic regardless of whether it is listed on the agenda. However, due to the Brown Act regulations, the board cannot engage in public discussion on items not on the agenda.

Comments from visitors shall not exceed three minutes unless the time limit is waved by majority of the board. The board shall limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. With board consent, the president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard. Do we have any advanced written requests? Would
013any member of the public like to speak on any agenda or non-aggenda items? Okay, that keeps it easy. Uh that brings us to communications. Um, anyone from RB Mana Beach Teachers Association? Anyone from the California School Employees Association? Anyone from the American Federation of Teachers? Rodondo Beach Council Parent Teacher Association, Rodondo Beach Education Foundation, and finally, would the superintendent like to comment on any of these public comments? No. Okay. All so easy. That brings us to general consent calendar. Would anyone like to pull any items from the consent calendar for further discussion? Is there a motion then to approve items 10.1 through 10.14? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. We have no separate consent items. So that brings us to action items. Can I have a motion and a second,
014please, to begin discussion item 12.1, approve the 202526 fiscal year budget, including 9.57 million of commitments for the mitigation of declining enrollment, cash flow, fleet replacement, and instructional programs. Second, Dr. Alpurn, staff recommends that you approve the budget along with our commitments. Excellent. And we discussed this at our last meeting as well, and this is all available on our website. Yes, it is. Excellent. I know we've had a lot of questions in the past and thank you for responding via email. Does anyone have any additional questions or feedback? Once you um approve this, we will be submitting it to LA County Office of Education by June 30th. And that is a statutory deadline. Yes. All right. All those in favor? I no extensions. Motion passes. 12.2. Uh motion and a second please to approve the
015use of pre-qualified construction inspection services firms as per RFQ2020-05 probably also Dr. Alpurn. Yes. Um, we'd like to recommend three different firms, BPI Inspection Services, Nolan Construction Services, and the Pringle Group, um, as our, um, pre-qualified list of vendors that we may work with in the future, um, for inspection services. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Motion and a second, please, to begin discussion on 12.3, approve the use of the pre-qualified topographic and land surveying services firms as per RFQ2025-04. Dr. Alpurn, so move. Oh, sorry. We also have three firms that we would like to have receive board approval um from. It's um NV5 Inc., SUS and DMC Engineering who um will serve as a pool of pre-qualified topographic and land serving um service firms. Any
016questions or comments? All those in favor? I Any abstensions? Motion passes. Motion and a second, please, to begin discussion on 12.4 Four, approve the use of the pre-qualified construction management services firms as per RFQ2025-03. Dr. Alpurn and for this area for um construction management services, we've identified went through a long process of um narrowing interviewing and now we're recommending um two firms um to serve an a pool of pre-qual construction management services firms. The first is with Belfer Baby LLC and the second is with Hakabian Associates. Questions or comments? Got a lot of bond work ahead of us. Thank you for laying the foundation. Uh all those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Next uh motion and a second please to begin discussion on 12.5 adopt resolution R24-2540 authorizing participation and assignment
017of delinquent tax revenue. So second Dr. Albert. Yeah. Just by way of a little bit of history 26 years ago legislation um was passed that allowed for uh local taxing agencies to form a joint power authority to finance delinquent property taxes. So, on behalf of LA County School Districts, um a JPA was formed. Um and the resolution that's before you must be readopted every 3 years um by the board. And when you do so, that allows us to be eligible to receive revenue um for people who are delinquent in their property taxes um when when those dollars come in. And annually we we receive anywhere from like 30 to $40,000 a year. Um but it's money that we're eligible for. And so we just ask the board to approve this um every three years. So
018this would cover 2025, 2026, and 2027. Thank you. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? The motion passes. Motion a second, please. For item 12.6, Six, adopt resolution R24-2541 approving temporary interfund cash borrowing. So moved. Dr. Alurn again. Yes. This resolution allows the board to direct the district to temporarily temporarily transfer monies um from one fund like the general fund or um into another fund during the course of a fiscal year um should it become necessary to pay obligations. Just since you'll probably ask how often do we do this? In my five and a half years in my current role, um we only did this one time and it was during COVID. So, um it's kind of a just in case, but we go through the exercise every year
019just in case. Seems prudent. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Motion to second, please. is on item 12.7 adopt resolution R24-2542 approving and authorizing the annual delegation of administrative authority to process routine budget provisions, adjustments, and transfers. Second, Dr. Alpurn. Yes. This uh this resolution um really allows the school district to handle day-to-day operations of the organization in between the various budget reports to the board. Right? We report first interim, we report second interim, we report around un audited actuals and um in between there are um issues that come before us that change how we're going to fund, right? like where we have monies authorized to be funded and maybe we're going to overspend in one area by $25,000 or underspend in another area. So rather
020than come to you every time we need to make those kinds of adjustment, you're basically giving authority to us to be able to make those decisions and everything gets tred up in those reports when we do our we true it up during the first interim, the second interim and for the unodited actuals. So it allows us to function day-to-day and this is an annual resolution we pass. Yes, it is. Any other comments or questions? All those in favor? I any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Brings us a motion in a second, please. On item 12.8, adopt resolution R24-25 col43, education protection account for 2025 2026. Uh Dr. Alpurn. Oh, sorry. You got a motion and a second. We're good. Okay. Um local control funding formula. We talk a lot about that. I talk a lot
021about that. Um, basically it's ma the dollars for LCFF are made up from three categories of funds. Um, one is local property taxes. Another is state aid and then the third is are taxes that are imposed through proposition 30 and 55 which is also known as the education protection act. So this resolution um is required because part of proposition 30 and 55 require a resolution um to come before you and um to acknowledge that where we spend those dollars. Technically we make that um public and available in September during our un audited actuals reporting. It's about 8.5 million out of the um out of the 110 million uh that we get and um this is just a part of a annual required resolution that is part of LCFF receiving LCFF dollars. Thank you. Any comments
022or questions? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Uh motion to second please for 12.9 approve Rodono Beach Unified School District construction management services agreement with Balf forbidden. Dr. Alper. Yes. I'm going to give a little and then I'm going to let Fred speak. He's been waiting anxiously. Um uh in an earlier item you approved Balfurb as one of the firms that um we could work with around construction management services. Um so before you it's an agreement for six months of project work and we'll be reassessing the need in the fall as we get further into the into our work with architects and construction phases of measure S but um Fred can speak a little bit about what construction management services are and what kind of work they'll be doing with
023him on the bond. All right, good evening. Uh I don't know how deep I have to go into this but I'll try make it simple. Basically, uh, I have, uh, 11 fence jobs, nine roofing jobs, couple other projects, and, uh, that's a little bit more, if anybody in the industry knows, a little bit more than one man to handle, although I'm pretty good. I'm not that good. Uh they will assist me in preconstruction uh re uh constructibility reviews, reviewing the plans page by page, making sure everything fits, kind of build it on paper to make sure you know what you're doing, where you might have mistakes or errors or omissions or who knows what goes on. Uh they have also provided some field uh management on site which you really need for uh schedule quality
024safety big time. Uh just to make sure nothing's slipping by you. You got to keep an eye on the job. Uh they'll also assist in the closeout which in the past has been historically statewide week. And uh we've all come to the conclusion that we need to close these jobs out when they're finished, not 20 years later. So they'll I'll make sure that they hold everyone's feet to the fire to get it closed right away. So this will be for um three three staff from Belfer Baby. Is it three? No. And they keep going back and forth. Yeah. And uh they'll also be looking at future work coming up while they're here. They're, you know, they're assisting me. So, we'll be getting plans for Excuse me. I wasn't ready for this part. Uh oh, the
025high school, the old bingo hall coming out, and then we'll come out as soon as we get partial drawings. We'll start constructibility reviews right away on that. They'll be working on that long before it goes to bid. And anything else we have, we get plans for or partials. We'll be working on all that. Yeah, we've done architect walks now at Lincoln, at Madison, and at RHS. And I also need a little assistance on uh keeping our plans, our asbuilts correct. Asbuilts are so important. And basically, I've got 70-year-old asbuilts that aren't of much help anymore. Any questions? Yeah, I had a question on the contract. Um, on the general conditions, which is the second page? Yes. It says that we're paying them 85,81 per month for six months. Yes. which is none of those numbers
026unless it's the general what's the difference between the general conditions and the fee. So the fee is based off of the cost of the projects that they're working on. So that 13 million is an estimate for what those um the the value of the projects, the value of the roofing projects, the value of the fencing projects, and the value of other projects. If it's less than the 13 million, then it'll be 3.75% of whatever that total value is. So the 487,500 could be lower depending on if the uh total cost of the project. So we know between fencing and roofing right now that total amount is about 11 million. Okay. So it's the six months and the six months plus the 3 Yes. 75. Yes. And so, um, originally they offered us a year contract
027and I asked them to shorten it to six months because we really need to better understand the, um, really the scope of the work that's coming, the pace at which that work is coming, and how many people Fred is going to need in real time doing full-time work. Um, and if it's less than that, then we'll scale back and we'll make a lesser scope project. Yeah. So, there's no advantage for us to making it a longer term contract. So, we're we're going in for a six-month. We're going to get into the work because the work is here. I mean, if you've driven by any of the schools, it's happening now. Um, so there was a strong sense of urgency because the board was not meeting again until the end of July. Um, so we wanted
028to get them in position and then within 3 months we'll we'll be in a better place to be able to look at what does a future contract look like. Other questions? So just a few. So, one, when you say closeout support, that means they will make sure DSA is taken care of. Yes. Make should make sure we have our final approval from DSA. Okay. They'll send you a letter and you're done. And will they be working directly with DSA or just ensuring our construction vendors are getting they'll make sure the architect submits, contractors submit. Okay. There there's documents that need to be submitted. I don't have all the numbers in my brain. It's too many. That's okay. Thank you. Um, yeah, it's been impressive. the day after school got out, it seemed like every one
029of our campuses got invaded with these huge material drops and they've already been busy. So, uh it's fantastic to see how quickly that's going. Uh I know orchestrating that is not easy. So, thank you and the team for doing that. Um so, we can be as minimally disruptive as possible to our students. We hit the ground running. Yes, sir. Um no other questions or comments. All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Thank you for coming out. Good night. Do we need a motion, a second to begin discussion on 12.10 or do we just take a vote? Okay. Uh need a motion. Okay. It's a motion in a second to begin to take a vote on 12.10 approve expulsion of student E24-25 col02. Second. Would anyone like to make a motion? Yes.
030So, I think this is where we're going with it, but I would modify. I would make an amended motion to um expel microphone. Keep turning it on and off. uh an amended motion to ex approve expulsion of student E24-25 semicolon O2 with a one calendar year expulsion. Is there a second? Second. All right, we have a motion in a second. Does anyone have any alternate motions, substitute motions? Then do we need a roll call vote or is a regular vote sufficient? Regular vote. Okay. Uh all those in favor I I. Any nos? Any abstensions? Motion passes. A motion and a second please on item 12.11 approve UCSF multitudes as the reading difficulties risk screener. Thank you. On June 10th Oh, sorry. Um, sorry. Thank you, Dr. B. On June 10th, the MTSS committee presented at
031the board meeting and a portion of the presentation focused on the selection of a reading difficulties risk screener, which aligns with the new state requirements in ED code 530008. After a thorough process of background research, piloting potential assessments, and extensive dialogue, the MTSS committee is recommending to the board of education formally adopt the UC UCSF multitudes as the screener for RBD to be implemented with K2 students beginning in the 2025 2026 school year. Thank you. Any questions or comments? All right. I know you they presented on this previously, so uh all in favor? I any nos or any extensions? Motion passes. Motion a second, please. On 12.12, adopt the 2025 2026 RBSD local control accountability plan annual update. Some moved. Second. Uh Dr. Garland again. Thank you. The LCAP is mandated is mandated by the
032state as a key requirement for funding under the local control funding formula for public schools. Over the past several months, stakeholders have engaged in the revision of our district plan, ensuring that all eight state priority areas are addressed. The draft LCAP has been shared with stakeholder groups and is posted on our district website. Mr. Lopez presented the LCAP and a public hearing was held during the June 10th, 2025 board of education meeting to provide an opportunity for comments and feedback. Thank you. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? The motion passes. Motion in a second, please. For item 12.13, approve the 2025 2026 single site plan for student achievement for Adams Middle School, Madison Elementary, and Washington Elementary. So, second, Dr. Garland. Again, we are requesting approval for the
033updated 2025 2026 single site plan for student achievement or SIPs for Adams Middle School, Madison Elementary, and Washington Elementary. California Education Code section 64001 and the Every Student Succeeds Act requires schools that operate a title one program to annually develop and implement a school plan. The California Department of Education has developed the SIPA template uh that meets all the federal school planning requirements. Each school's goals align with the district plan of the local control accountability plan or the LCAP and each school developed their plan through an elected committee consisting of teachers, parents, and students for the secondary level and administrators. Copies of the plans are available for review in the educational services office during regular business hours and they will be posted on the websites. Thank you. Any questions or comments? I just thank Ed
034services and all the members of the school site councils for working on these. I know sips uh can take a little while to get through. So um thank you all for doing that. Uh all those in favor I. Any nos or any abstensions? Motion passes. Motion in a second please on 12.14 approve the memorandum of understanding between the Rodondo Beach Teachers Association and Rodondo Beach Unified School District on additional release time of the RBTA president. Second, Dr. Stephanie, would this be you? Yes, it would. Um, this is an MOU that allows our RBTA president Janelle Tanaka to be released an additional 20% to tend to um union business basically and CTA is reimbursing the district um for this expense. We had in place last year and was really helpful for communication. Thank you. Any questions
035or comments? CT, they're reimbursing us for the cost. Yes. Okay, great. All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Uh motion to second, please. On 12.15, approve the declaration of need for fully qualified educators for the 2025 2026 school year. Second, Dr. Stephanie. Again, this is an annual item um that enables us, if approved, to hire um teachers in hard to fill subject areas on temporary or special certificates or credentials. Um we don't anticipate any of these at this point in time. However, things happen over the course of the summer and the beginning of the school year and sometimes we need to use this. Thank you. And thank you for everyone in HR for being all over this over the summer. I know they get quite busy. Any questions or comments? So,
036these are the difficult fill positions. So, anyone wanting to be a teacher should pick absolutely one of these. Let me know. All right. Then all those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Motion and a second, please. For 12.16, adopt resolution R24-254 on modified salaries. Second, Dr. Stephanie, this is another annual item um that allows the board to uh modify the salaries of administrators and non-represented staff. Um, it would come into play if we came to a when we come to an agreement with our labor partners and we want to extend a possible salary improvement to our administrators and non-representatives too. Thank you. Any comments or questions? All those in favor? I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Uh, finally item 12.17. A motion a second, please, to approve the Pasadena Area Community
037College District K through2 SWP sub agreement. Second, Dr. Stephanie. All right. Dr. Toronto gave me a script for this one, so I'm going to read it. That's okay. RBSD seeks to served as the host LEA for the Los Angeles Regional Consortium, LARK K12 Pathway Coordinator position as part of the California Strong Workforce Ecosystem. This uh position is fully funded through PACCD uh for the funding cycle of July 1, 2025 through June 30th, 2026 at $140,000. RBSD will serve as the fiscal agent and oversee the K12 pathway coordinator as they plan, coordinate, organize, and manage the operations and activities of the K14 CT pathways for their assigned community college district and collaborative partner school districts which includes our BC. Do you have any questions or comments? Thank you, Dr. Toronto, for all your work on expanding
038our CTE pathways. Uh, all those in favor? I I. Any nos or abstensions? Motion passes. Excuse me. Board member Elder. Yes. Um, we need to go back and reapprove the budget item 12.1. Um, I was notified that the LCAP needs to be approved prior to the budget. So, if we can go back to item 12.1, please, and reapprove it. Yes. Sorry. Thank you. Uh motion in a second, please to uh reopen discussion on item 12.1, approve the 2025 2026 fiscal year budget, including 9.57 million of commitments for the mitigation of declining enrollment, cash flow, fleet replacement, and instructional programs. Assume we don't have to have the presentation or anything else. Um I still recommend, but you approve. Good to hear. Uh regular votes. Okay. Not roll call. All right. All those in favor? I. Any
039nos or any abstensions? Motion passes. Thank you. Uh we have no information items tonight. That takes us to discussion items. 14.1 discuss keyless access controls. Get to scoot on over. Yeah. Good evening all. Uh wanted to have a discussion with you as promised before on access control. Um so in technology we protect all of our data and cyber security data centers um all of our spaces in terms of data servers um any of that nature. And today I'm going to talk to you about access control. So what is access control? Access control is in essence a layer of security around the perimeter of a building. Um and so you have some images here. Um, so what it would do is you would have a key card or a PIN to access any specific area um
040that we have access control in. Why access control? Um, well on a first layer of security, it deters intruders. So you would have potentially a buzzin system at an entry of a school uh to prevent unauthorized u users coming on campus. um that could potentially cause uh a situation or harm to our most valuable assets which is our staff and our students. Uh respond to emergency. Uh it enables rapid security response. So in case of a lockdown, if we were to have a lockdown, we have the ability to centrally with one command push out a lockdown that would uh shut down all the the doors on on any specific campus. Uh it also give us gives us uh intel visibility uh on a dashboard to see what doors are open, what doors are closed if
041the command has gone through. Um so that's currently something that we don't have but uh would allow us to have that visibility and quick uh response time to any lockdown situation. Uh it also monitors um any um who's entering and exiting our buildings. Right. So currently uh we have a traditional set where we have a key. So we have users coming in uh opening doors, exiting doors, locking doors uh and we all assume that these are authorized users that have access to our facilities, to our doors, to certain locations. um and even some of our uh locations where we have some of our vulnerable uh information whether it be uh ces student ces or uh any of our particular intricate data servers as well. So this would ensure that only users who have access to
042those particular rooms indeed have access and we have visibility as to who has access to that. Um so another piece and I and I like to give real life examples. Um we have situations where we have subs right and so we sometimes they don't have a physical key to go into a classroom and the sub needs access to go into the classroom. We have to call the custodian in to go onto the school site. With uh access control we have the visibility. Okay, Mr. Smith wants to go into room 24. we can allow him temporary access and then the students would be immediately into the classroom um with decreasing the delay and uh not impacting instructional minutes. So CISA is a cyber security and infrastructure security agency that I subscribe to and they are awesome
043in giving us updates and patches if there's any ransomware um any uh software vulnerabilities that we have and it gives us notifications that say hey you might want to check this particular software if there's a batch or any ransomware that's happening nationwide or worldwide. Um, last year they put a uh K12 school security guide and it has four pillars. Um, and the first layer is your grounds perimeter. So with measure S, we're uh updating fencing. Um, and so that is a very basic layer of security. Um, and layer two is your school grounds layer. And I'll go into the next visual to uh show you what exactly that is. But in essence, it's uh lighting and surveillance coverage um on campus. And the third one we're diving into with measure S is access control systems
044and PA systems which will secure all building entrances. And so that's a very unique one because that is as I mentioned before would be an integration with uh our security systems uh that would give us the ability to communicate within seconds uh districtwide or schoolwide in case there's some sort of incident on site. Um and then the last pillar and the last layer that CISA recommends uh for school districts to ensure that they are in a secure environment is the interior layer which is all of your security cameras at all of your school sites. So if you look here, this is your grounds perimeter layer uh with the fencing uh number two your uh is your school grounds layer and number three your building perimeter and number four is all of your security cameras. Um
045and just as a refresher, we are increasing our cameras three times the amount with u our measure sit uh infrastructure project. So some of the benefits of access control is again it's just uh deterring any uninvited or unauthorized uh users from accessing any classrooms um any entry of any schools. Um and then the rapid response capability. Uh again, if there is a situation on campus that we need to notify all teachers, uh we would be able to send a notification via our voice over IP phones with our new digital clocks. Uh and then have the ability to uh lock down all the classrooms. Um and then the integrated systems, I've mentioned that before where all the systems would be tied together and giving you flexible access. Um, it's just having the ability to uh give
046users access to a specific building, a specific office or a specific door. It gives you that granular activity and the visibility. I do want to share um a real life example again because currently with if there is an incident on site um they contact it and say, "Hey, we need some footage." There was an incident that occurred potentially at Adams and it was maybe at Friday between the hours of 3:00 a.m. up until Monday at 2 a.m. in the morning. So the current scenario is the IT team goes into our server. We start uh providing the human power to look and at all the the footage and then we see the potential maybe a suspect and then we download that data and then we put it into a flash drive. We communicate with RBPD and
047then we give them the the flash drive with the intel. With this new system, because our access control would integrate the security cameras and the locks of the classrooms or the buildings, we would be able to look at the data, look at the logs, and see, hey, we had uh unauthorized access at 210 a.m. at Adams Middle School. This is only a scenario. Um, we would be able to correlate the camera footage and immediately look at that pinpoint at that specific uh timestamp on the camera, download or actually just share the link to RBPD and they would have immediate access to continue their further investigation with um with the with the upcoming uh scenario with access control. Um, and in we like to be real. What are the challenges with access control? Um financial considerations.
048It is not a cheap endeavor. The hardware, the software, the installation and the training behind it um is will have a financial impact. But we have budgeted that with uh measure s funds. Um however it does continue to have ongoing maintenance whether it be battery swap outs the maintenance of a lock um as you will with uh acquisitions of keys repairing and you know the locks uh operational demands this is new this is new to our environment this would require training um the staff in IT in coordination with administrative services and M um and the staff of how this will be used there will be clear uh understandings of what are the parameters and the usage of the cards. Um just like when you receive a set of keys, right? What happens when you lose
049a set of keys? Um and then the credential management. Um there is a concern if the card is lost. Um there's also a concern if keys are lost, right? So what happens if a card is lost and there is unauthorized access? Well, if Mr. Stephanie reported that his card is lost immediately and we see some funky activity and we haven't deactivated the card. We would be able to uh identify where the unauthorized access is happening and either send support and deactivate the card and figure out what's what's occurring. That's what I have. Any questions? Thank you for that. Anyone have any questions? I do. I have a couple question. First of all, I'm super excited that we're getting this. I've been living it in my uh profession at another school site for a year now.
050Um, and it makes me I believe it and I feel more secure because I've been using the access cards. When you say it's a bad, it's a card. It would be our ID badge, would it not? Or is it a separate card? The goal is that it will be your ID card and integrated with your ID card would be the access that you would have to enter any specific building that based on your position, your classification, your school site you would have access to. Right. So if the card that we wear around our you know as a badge would be the way you get into your office or into your classroom depending and access is controlled. Yes. Who would be controlling that access? That is a great question. Um so currently it controls the access
051that you have with your badge systems which gives you controls to the gates and that sort of nature and uh alarms that would be a collaboration that uh we would open for discussion with the cabinet team and see how we can support whether it be with the battery changes with giving the access. So there would be a lot coming from the IT department in terms of configuring the access and we currently have um a pretty granular system with uh we get notification from HR whether we have a new employee or an employee who's leaving the district and that means give them access take the axes away. So it would in essence still control that piece and giving the access via the software. Um and then in terms of maintaining the hardware um that would be
052a discussion that we would have with uh EM. Well, that was going to be my next question because HR would need to let you know when people leave. You know, not everybody turns in their key or their badge. It won't matter anymore because your badge just won't work. Right. Right. So, and if there was ever an issue, you can always you can give people access for a day as well. like if they if you knew you were having an event, that teacher could have access to something and then it could expire at a given time. And even with u a lot of the construction that we're having in historically, we give them a set of construction keys, right? With this uh access, you would ensure that they only have access from March 1st to whenever
053the project terminates and you would be able to just deactivate the account and not wonder, hm, did we get those keys back? And you'd also know who actually accessed it with their badge. Yeah. So if they decided to go someplace that after that fact Oh, hey, there goes Nick again trying to open it. Nick, you're already misusing your badge. I can tell. Anyone else have? Sure. So, um, might be a silly question. So, um when somebody is um not supposed to have access and um and you know it, let's say it's during school hours, like who's watching? Who's monitoring? Are you being pinged? Does something go off on your phone? Like what's the plan for when somebody is misusing it as opposed to waiting looking at security footage, etc. Like, is it real time? So,
054it is real time. you do see uh activity. Um but however, it is not in the business of monitoring. Um if we do get an alert whether it's um I do want to take it a step back because we we're doing buzz uh entries uh at the front of the schools, right? Um we are also uh deploying new Cisco voice over IP phones that have a panic button. And so when there is a situation in any classroom that has that phone, whether it's in the front entry of the school, uh any staff user can click the button and it immediately sends a notification say, "Hey, there's something going on. You got to come check on me." Or depending on the workflow of how we configure it depending on the school site of who needs to
055pop up and follow up. Um we it's a workflow question. So anything is possible in uh configuration wise. So, we would be able to say if we have a user that's triggering the trying to unlock the door, it's passing one, two, three times. If it's three times the trigger, then it'll say, "Hey, there's something going on. You got to go check out what's happening over in whatever respective school site we're getting that alert from." So, obviously, once this is implemented, you start to flush out what you need in terms of monitoring access and who has it. um for staff and everybody who will have whether it be a badge or this key access obviously training extensively about please don't lose it please don't loan it out please don't like because sometimes people are like oh
056I need to get in I don't have access but my friend does yes obviously very strict protocols about your pass your access you don't get to loan it out to somebody yes there will be uh uh very clear parameters as to who should be having access and just with powers school when we activated multifactor authentication um I there was some sharing of passwords in with a lot more uh granular security in heightening that security we saw that there would some potential users sharing passwords so with the keyless entry and access control we would be able to see like hey why are you in a building that you probably shouldn't have been in. So, we would be able to see that in real real time. Um, but with the professional development and the training and the
057very specific expectations, we would delineate um that is your key. It belongs to you. Do not share that. Okay? And then when our campuses are technically closed, um, and somebody goes onto campus, um, they're just allowed to go if they're if they have access or they're not allowed. And and again, you'll know notificationwise that why is somebody coming onto our campus on a Saturday at 8:00m? Yes. We don't have an event. Yeah. So with access control, you are able to very granularly give uh any staff member access. So let's say it's uh let's say it's Dr. Garland and um she's wanting to come on campus at a specific time. When we configure anybody's card, we know that you are in this department. you should have access to the open business hours, which is from 7:00
058a.m. to 3:00 p.m. So, we're going to work through with the administration to ensure that that, you know, we're in correlation with those time frames. But after that, you don't have access. So, if there is an event, there's going to be um a whole lot of communication as to who should and why should they have access to a specific building and at what time because again, you can be very granular with the time that you're giving, whether it be a specific time, a specific uh calendar schedule. Um but those are all uh workflows that you would create and give access to any specific respective employee. That's great. Thank you. Mhm. Well, just to clarify, this is not I mean, I know we talk about needing professional development, but it's essentially a key. Yes. We don't
059give professional development to our staff on using our keys, but we can make it a condition of employment that states you are not to give your key out. You're not to give out your badge, right? So, I don't want to make it seem like we're going to I mean, a lot of training will have to go into this. I mean, you literally that's how you get into your office and yeah, that's how you get where you want to go. if you don't have access, I could stick my badge as many times as I want and I won't be able to get in unless I go see whoever it is that gives me access. So, it's really kind of dummy proofing it in term, you know, like making it more secure than if you had a
060lost key or someone duplicating a key or something like that. Yeah. And I mean, we're going to put like a one sheeter. I think we we like to just put like little how-to sheet just in case, even if it's really easy and straightforward. Mhm. Um, and even with the phones, we're already looking at how are we going to put this one pager, but yeah, it's it's straightforward and it's badging in badging. As we got into summer seasons, um, I'm reminded of active brownouts that we have in the areas because the power, electrical power may not be available when we need them. Um, do we have plans to address how to get notified, how to give access in case of a power outage or extended power outage for for instance? Yeah, that's a great question. So,
061a lot of the units are going to be hardwired into um the electrical feed. Um and then they have a battery backup. Um and when you have no power for elongated periods of time, then um decisions have to probably be made um in terms of operation. Um but we do have a a backup battery. Each unit will have a battery. Um, which if it is used in an extended period of time, then we're probably going to have to talk with and collaborate with our teams to see how we're gonna swap those batteries out. Would this also be for fencing and gates? Yes, we're going to have to integrate uh some security. That'll be a further conversation to see how we can integrate it because currently with your current badge, it gives you access to enter
062the gate area. Yeah. Well, but I mean the ones that I work with, there's padlocks that are put on gates that you can use your badge if you have access to unlock the padlock. And I just wondered if this system had that as well. Need to look into that. Like if Dr. Wesley had the master key, let's say. I mean salt. Yes, please. Good evening. And uh Dr. Alpurn, um yes, to answer your question, um it does have that capability. The scope of what the project that we talked about was specific in classroom doors and front offices. Obviously we want to evaluate those specific gates and areas that you want to address or secure. The technical capability is absolutely there to do it. The only question is you know is it do we want to
063do these gates? Do we want to do those gates? Do we want to do all gates? All that sort of stuff has to be carefully evaluated and when we make an accurate decision because there's obviously cost associated with those things. Well, it's a separate lock that you'd have to put on those gates. But I'm thinking about like at the high school when they lock down the high school and they have to go chain link a fence. If you had those there, it could be done from the office. You're not actually sending someone in to go. Yeah. Yeah, we have multiple school districts where that was the primary reason that they actually ended up doing uh access control is because there was really two or three key people in the entire district that had the keys
064that could do unlock the gates and they utilized their districts facilities as part of community events. And so they would constantly be having to move and travel to open up the gates and close the gates. So with the access control, you can do it remotely. You don't need to physically go down there even if oh I forgot that you have an event this week if you installed that into the gate but the one that I use that I'm thinking of at work that's a chain pad link so that wouldn't really apply but you can that do you have both options that you can just have absolutely similar to the buzzin solution at the front of the schools right where you press the button right you have the exact same thing with the gate as well
065so and then to your experience if you wanted a padlock uh that that had that same capability. We have that as well. So all but none of that's scoped out in this piece of work. It's just for the classrooms and the front office and front offices and front offices. Okay. Just related does it does it include the district office? Yes. Correct. Sorry. So as the IT guy um I both love technology and I'm a technology kromagin. So, I've got all kinds of questions and concerns. Um, it absolutely solves an incredible number of problems and gives so many great capabilities. Uh, but it introduces new challenges, too. For example, we talk about battery life. Um, you know, what happens if someone's got a jamming device? And I don't know if these are going to be Wi-Fi,
066Ziggb, Zway, whatever. But, um, that could be a way of of causing problems. And people do that with security cameras already. That's why our camera systems are hardwired um to avoid those types of problems. Um but one of the the big concerns I have uh with with any system like this is for example these badges which only give access to the RUHS lot and bunker right now. Um they are absolutely trivial to clone. Um so these are not the badges we'd be using obviously but uh understanding what the warranty would be like on these so that if there is some type of catastrophic exploit available sometimes you can just push a firmware update if it requires a hardware swap. You know what is the lifespan for these for for support? I think from a security
067perspective, we have to really take serious consideration before partnering with a company as to you know investing time and energy. So before Cisco even considered working with GeneA there was a long period of evaluation and understanding exactly what they were doing and ensuring number one that they're sock 2 compliant. So separate agency that would basically assess whether or not they have the criteria and the necessary security in place in their system to be compliant uh and secure. And then excuse me, the other piece is their ability to be modular and push out updates and do those sorts of things and be compatible when powers go out or the power goes out on your phone or your badge or things like that to be able to route around emergency situations. But yes, the the answer to
068your question is yes. Yeah. So, just knowing what that warranty looks like, how long that covers because these devices obviously they're not going to last forever anyway. Um any any technical system like this is going to become obsolete at some point. Um but yeah, it's you know, you talk about rekeying locks. That's not an easy thing to do with a physical lock. And if someone loses a master lock, heaven help us. Um this is something you do that trivially with. But it's also, you know, if if someone discovers a bad way to do things, knowing that there's a way hopefully without swapping hardware that we would be covered under warranty for would be and you know better than anybody that that's a constant battle between good and evil. We're constantly trying to find better ways
069to secure whether it's network security, physical security. We're always trying to get better and better because there's bad actors everywhere and they're always thinking of creative ways to kind of take down systems. So it's a constant battle on both sides. Absolutely. Yep. Yeah. That's a So I can tell you Dan, I did ask that question like cloning um and it is the school district that has it. They had a very smart student who bought a whole sophisticated machine and tried to do it was unsuccessful. They tried to do it themselves as well before they went to this system. They were unsuccessful. So I mean but it isn't the same company. I don't want to I mean it's not the same product, but it's the same idea as far as regardless of the company though. Just
070because you can't do it today doesn't mean they won't be able to do it. Right. So your point is what happens if that happens? Is it covered under warranty? Is that what you're asking? As part of this project, right, this is a seven-year project and so everything whether it's warranty or support, what you're specifically speaking to is if there are bad actors that are doing new bad things, is there a way to address that? And are we covered? Yes, we are covered for the next seven years under all of those firmware software updates that would mitigate any new bad actions happening to try and thwart the the security layer. Okay, thank you. And as much as I would love longer than seven years, that's not really realistic. Correct. So, I would love for something to
071be secure that long even. Um during that seven-year period though, if there's some type of exploit available that can't be mitigated with a software update, would that cover a hardware replacement too? So the the hardware is compatible with multitudes of different softwares. So that's I think the hardware is always never going to really be an issue. The the issues of where the actual hacking occurs is 99.9% of the time on the software. Yes. And so it would be a question of doing a patch, doing a firmware update. It would be a question of basically pushing out something to help fight against that bad actor. Um, but the hardware is I don't want to say bulletproof, but it's there isn't issues commonly found with the hardware any more than there is with your regular keys on
072doors. Yep. And and again, those are things that can be done centrally versus a physical lock. You would have to go out and touch each one, right? Regardless, right, to re key or anything else, right? Um, so yeah, I appreciate that. Uh, one thing you did mention was the ability to lock down um all at once, which is fantastic. With the existing one, 123 locks we have, would those no longer be used then? Because those still require someone to manually slide it. Uh, and I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm just curious. One, two, three locks. You mean the indoor ones? Yeah, the indoor ones. That's separate because if the kids get into the classroom, they can lock the door from the inside. Our doors are already all locked. Well, I guess I have to do
073is flip the lock. So, does this I guess you would it' be a double lock at that point. If we're locking down from externally, that would be a redundancy. In it, we like redundancy. I like redundancy. Well, I mean, I think our parents would like the redundancy, too, because maybe nobody's reported the lockdown. When you first have an incident, you could see them coming into the classroom. They can lock the door and then push the panic button and then you lock it again. Correct. Right. Yes. Does I mean, we're our doors are already always locked. All you do is flip the one, two, three lock. So, if you got rid of the one, two, three lock, then you could lock the door instantly. Wait a minute. Why would we get rid of the one 123
074lock though? I'm so confused. So the mechanism is they have well the idea is that all doors are locked. I don't know if that's consistent across the board. I think they're the idea is that they're all locked and you have the the latch right and then uh you have it propped open in case a student goes to the restroom or has to run and uh to the office. And so you prop the door open in case of an emergency. you go to the door, boop, you close the door, door locks. Um they would have to unlatch and then close the door and then if for whatever reason the door isn't locked, right? And um we have the ability to look at um the log and see real life time uh visibility if in case room
07534 for whatever reason the door the teacher came in didn't lock the door, we would have the ability to lock lock the door. So it would be a redundant um the one two three lock the staff like having the ability to prop the door open. Okay. You know, so I think we would keep the one two three lock. It allows them to do that. Obviously if the one two three lock is engaged the automatic locking is not going to be able to happen. They have to shut the door. Yeah. But I don't think we would be removing that. Okay. Yeah. Something we don't have to figure out right now. I was just curious. Um, and then also I wanted to say, you know, thank you again for the presentation, for looking into all this, especially
076with the CISA, um, you know, awareness. Uh, and and then I know there's also going to be a site visit arranged for us to take a look at some of these systems. So, thank you for that. Yeah, that Yeah, that that's going to be fantastic. So, um, thank you, Don. I've got far more technical questions, but I'll just probably email you for specs and things like that. Great. I have one more question because you said it and I know what it is. Which of these companies did a sock audit? You said is sock compliant. So that means they submitted to a sock audit to which is it Geneia correct okay and that's who would be providing the access control for us the access control and why that versus like saltto so the well sto is
077the hardware right sto is the door hardware so you are it is saltto that you'll have no we're actually uh don't want to get too political here uh so we're using a legion door hardware which is the uh standard for K12 school districts over the last like 24 months or so. Sto prior to that was the standard, right? Uh and um I'm trying to think of the best way to say this. Uh they seem to have focused their attentions in other markets, right? And left a lot of uh people like Ash and myself and and our companies um in a a place where we're searching for support, right? So, um, when that is the case, we obviously, uh, are very the commitments we make to our district. So, we need to find someone else that's
078going to support us. So, um, as of right now, the combination of Alleion and, uh, Geneia gives us, um, the best velocity when it comes to feature velocity to your point, staying on top and in front of all the security threats, right? uh and then also the very best in secure door hardware at the best possible price for uh the specific K12 school application. So this is the latest and greatest as of doing it now. Correct. Whereas when it was it could have been done 24 months ago that would have been Yeah. literally because it's the same many colleges and universities use it for their dorms. Right. GeneA is used at a multitude of universities across the country and universities that have over 20,000 students. There's 38 different hospitals. There's dozens of Fortune 100 companies
079that utilize it. Um, so it's not a mom and pop and it's not a tried and true tested technology. It absolutely is and that's why Cisco has been partnering with it. That's why we've invested so much in R&D and back and forth and why it's compatible with the cameras that we selected, right? Which is critical when we talk about a comprehensive solution. So the bells and speakers, the phone system, the cameras, and the access control, all of that has to work together to have an effective safe campus. And that's why we selected them. The example you guys were using with the one, two, three locks where a door is propped open, you can create a rule to trigger a camera that automatically would then create an alert so that Mrs. Garcia or somebody in the
080IT department would immediately get alerted and have an immediate live look into okay. Yeah. what is happening in that situation and all of those integrations uh and compatibilities are what make that possible. Any other questions? This is super exciting. How soon are we getting it? So, we're starting um right away to Lincoln and Porest. Lincoln Forest will be done by the summer. By the end of the summer, what's Lincoln Forest? Lincoln Paris. Sorry, I using my Southern California roots there. Uh so Lincoln and Paris. Um uh and uh we are greatly looking forward to hosting you all for a tour of those before school starts and after the work is complete in early August. Uh and then um yeah, so it's it's we have a ton of teams that have been actively and frantically working
081with Susanna and all of her uh team members. Uh we've uh uh my goodness probably five plus meetings a week it seems like right now. Um you know measuring multiple times. Seven. But who's counting? Sorry. Uh not all I'm allowed to. So those will be the two sites that do we we work the kinks out with right the first ones that'll go live and then we'll use it for a while and then figure out how to do the rest and how you want to proceed. Right. And that's on the heels of the visit on I think the end of July. Right. So, the end of July, there'll be a visit. Um, and then and then you'll visit your own beginning. We'll probably want to reach out to the PTA to get some of those balloons.
082Yeah, definitely. I was thinking of requesting the clap. Yeah, exactly. Absolutely. So, but yeah, it is very exciting. a ton of work that's happening, a ton of uh momentum, uh a ton of equipment that's already been secured and has arrived in our warehouse and is being configured and prepped uh to be brought on site and deployed. So, there has just been tremendous tremendous momentum since the last time we were with you guys. Um you know, it's a little bit like a duck on a pond. On the surface, it looks very, very calm and collected and underneath those feet are going a million miles a second. So, uh, none of this would be possible without all of your guys's help and approval and a huge kudos to Mrs. Garcia for her and her team and the
083tremendous work that they put in on this project so far. Yeah, thank you. No, thank you for sticking around so late and I know you guys have been working hard on this for a long time and started on all this and made great progress. So, thank you for all of that. Thank you guys. We're looking forward to a project that we're all going to be proud of when it's all done. So, yeah. Thank you. We're going to earn that clap up. Excellent. And most importantly, it's going to keep our students and staff safe. Amen. Very true. Amen. Absolutely. Any other questions? All right. Thank you so much. Have a great night, guys. Thank you. You too. Oh, there. Thank you. So cool. I love it. That brings us to item 15.1, board members reports, starting
084with board member Archer. Thank you. Um, just a quick report. Um, what a pleasure to participate in the uh, graduation at our high school. Um, shout out to the entire staff. I mean, it was just seamless. So many parents and uh, family members. Um and then to our our our graduates, so proud of all of them and where they are all going. Um Mr. Brown, amazing speech um to our student. Um the three student speakers. So if you don't have any other takeaway, um I will never fall asleep. Um you're not supposed to know where you're at already. You're always going to be somewhere going to find out where you need to be and just keep going. And the last student speaker remind us to be kind and to be good to each other. So,
085what an amazing class of 2025. I can't wait to see them come back and visit us because I think they will. Happy summer to everybody. Thank you. Uh board member Silverman Neimoth. Uh ditto. I would just add that the um Dler uh graduation of seniors was also spectacular. So um proud of all our seniors. Thank you. Uh board clerk thing. Yeah. I can't believe that was just last week, wasn't it? I can't decide if it was just last week or a month ago. There feels like so much has happened, but it was phenomenal. So thank you to everybody that worked so hard to make those very special. Thank you uh board vice president Cho. Thank you. Um all those events were um absolutely well done and congrats to all the students and parents and then
086teachers and staff that made it possible. Um excuse me. One um occasion that stood out for me was the um our adult transition program graduation and many of you in this room also had attended along with all many many teachers. Uh it was very special. It was again for me that captured the essence of of how we do things in in RBUSD that putting the students first into whatever is necessary and whatever resource that we have to make that possible. Um, so I I was, you know, walked away um just feeling very grateful. Once again, thank you. Thank you. Um, yeah, I mean what everyone else said, it was just uh incredible seeing the culmination of a year's worth of efforts and for some the end of their, you know, high school experience coming together.
087Uh, so much work goes in it, so many happy students and families. Um, just love being able to be part of that. Uh, one of the things I did notice though at some of our ceremonies were empty seats um for students, for some of their families. And it's it's kind of heartbreaking to think about how some of this really hateful rhetoric coming from outside our community directed at some of our most hardworking and vulnerable community members is impacting them. Um you know our BSD is inclusive. We want you know all of our students, teachers, staff, families, everyone to feel welcome and feel safe. Uh more importantly right now some of them don't. Um you know it's a shame. You know we've got RBPD such an incredible partner. Our SRO's are amazing. Um but you see
088what's going on out in the world and it's it's terrifying for some of them. Um, you know, it's it's important to remember how much stronger we are when we're all united and we're working together rather than being divided like this. Um, so just, you know, just a reminder, hate has no place in our classrooms, our community. And to everyone out there, you know, our students, our families, um, you're not alone. You are valued. You matter, and, you know, we're we're here for you. I'm here for you. So, just want to say that to everyone. Um, with that, we would normally adjourn the meeting, but we have close session items to get back to. Uh items 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. Uh can I get a motion and a second to reconvene to close session? So moved.
089Second. All right. We will be back after that. Thank you. We are reconvened to open session at 8:21 uh for close session report on item 3.4 public employee appointment. I have a uh bit to read here.
