The Board of Education recognizes the first, second, and third place winners of the 2017 San José Unified Suicide Awareness Month Student Poster Contest.
|
In an effort to increase suicide awareness among students, staff, and the greater San José Unified community, the Crisis Support Team and Student Services Department sponsored a districtwide poster contest open to all high school students in SJUSD.
Entries were displayed and judged at the District Office on Lenzen Avenue on September 26, 2017. First Place and a People's Choice Award went to Megan Cheung (Leland, 12th grade); Second Place went to Shreya Patel (Leland, 9th grade); and Third Place went to Kiran Pinnipati (Leland, 12th grade).
|

Board President Mrs. Foley invited Student Support Counselor Mauro Garcia from Student Services to come forward to talk about the poster contest for National Suicide Awareness Month.
Mauro Garcia shared that about three years ago the Student Services Department was receiving a lot of calls about suicide at the high schools. As a result of that, he and his Crisis Support Team partner in Student Services decided to look into different ways to reach students and came up with the idea of creating a suicide awareness poster contest. He announced that September is suicide awareness month and that September 10th is suicide awareness day around the world. The poster contest, which is in its third year here at the District, is promoted each year using the theme for suicide prevention month. The theme this year was Take a minute Change a life. The contest was promoted at all of the high schools with judging taking place on September 26th by six judges who rated them on the value of the poster and the theme. Staff at Lenzen voted for their favorite poster, which resulted in The People's Choice Award. He introduced and congratulated the contest winners and announced that Palace, Lakeshore, Office Depot and Marketplace had donated the prizes. Third place went to Kiran Pinnipati from Leland High School. Second Place went to Shreya Patel from Leland High School. Megan Cheung, also from Leland High School, won First Place and the People's Choice Award. He thanked the Board for allowing them to come and present the awards to the students and invited the Board Members to participate in the judging next year.
Expressing gratitude for the work of the Crisis Support Team, Board President Mrs. Foley said, "The poster contest is a wonderful idea. Raising awareness of teen suicide is really important. I am so grateful and appreciative for you taking your time and energy to create a message that will help students acknowledge and know that there is help out there for them."
Responding to Board member questions in regard to whether there has been any tracking of an increase in stress and an increase in suicide, Dane Caldwell-Holden said, "We track what types of indicators are bringing kids into counseling. We can see that there is a clear jump in anxiety and stress especially around finals and mid-term times. That is one of the reasons we have increased counseling hours at the schools."
Other Board Member comments were in regard to the percentage of suicides in people over the age of 19 and whether there is any requirement that the District have a suicide prevention policy.
Superintendent Albarrán indicated that the topic would be brought through cabinet.
Board President Foley thanked the poster contest winners as well as their parents for "inspiring their children to do good work." |

Student Board Member Ethan Dang gave a brief report on the recent ILC meeting that was held at Gunderson High School. The Gunderson leadership students presented that their area of concern is their perceived image especially in regard to incoming freshmen feeling intimidated when they arrive at the school. As the year progresses the sentiments of the freshmen students change and they begin to enjoy the school. The Gunderson students shared that incoming freshmen always have this problem, that it is demoralizing to the rest of the classes and that they are trying to fix it. Solutions were offered by other classes and especially by San José High students who can relate to this issue. He announced that the recent concerns about the air quality in San José have affected school campuses adding that Pioneer High School and Willow Glen have had to push their homecoming games and dances to a later date because of the air quality.
Mrs. Foley followed up on Ethan's announcement about air quality concerns in San José reporting that Willow Glen High School had to break a long tradition in the community by cancelling their homecoming parade this year. Also related to air quality concerns Booksin Elementary School made some last minute change in plans as their walk-a-thon fundraiser was scheduled for Saturday. She said, "The parents worked within the confines of not being able to have their kids walk and they created a read-a-thon in the library. Their silent auction fundraiser went on in the multipurpose room. She said, "I believe it was fairly successful and the community really rallied. Considering the health of their kids as the most important factor and the quality of the air they know that that was the right decision and they made it happen all within a 24 hour period." She attended a celebration along with Trustee Castellanos recognizing Maria Marcelo who is a strong advocate for Washington Elementary School parents. She said, "Maria was celebrated on her birthday in honor of her tireless efforts to support the children and staff of Washington Elementary. She was also very much involved in the school's teacher housing movement." She announced that this was the ninth year that the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association has sponsored the Safe Walk to School. She reported that about 150 students and parents from Willow Glen Elementary, River Glen and Hammer and Galarza participated in the event. They met at the Bank of America parking lot and were led to their schools by SJ Sharkey and other athletic notables. She participated in a walkthrough at Reed Elementary School with Director of Leadership Development Shannon McGee and Principal Melody Mendoza. She said, "I was really impressed at the early literacy focus that was going on and with how focused the students were.”
Ms. Meek gave updates on the three committees she serves on. The PTA council met this past week. They are in the process of completing their tax forms. She said, "I was really appreciative that there were people who cared enough to go through and do that paperwork and that there was help offered. Their next meeting is in January. She announced that the District Audit Committee would meet on November 21st. She also announced a reminder that the County Committee on School District Organization is looking for candidates to represent districts 1, 3, and 5 and that the submission deadline is Tuesday at 5:00 PM.
Ms. Castellanos reported on her attendance at the Latino School Boards Association Conference that was held in San Diego this year. She shared that the focus of the conference was on the issues of equity in the arts and ethnic studies as a way to attract students that are not achieving. She said, "I think that is something we should look at as a district when we bring up the equity issue as a way to attract students that are not achieving and also as way to promote inclusion and the diversity that we have in Silicon Valley. I was very excited by the work that was brought together and I think that there are many things that we can also look at in terms of the diversity of the population that we have here." Announcing that MetroED will be holding its 100-year celebration tomorrow she said, "It is very exciting for a school to reach 100 years."
Mr. Zarghami announced that he was able to go see a program about infusing technology in the classroom earlier today at Burnett Middle School. He reported that Principal Kristen Luz is working closely with an organization called Power My Learning that is providing students with access to technologies via Kahn and other online learning providers and is also building self-agency in students. He also reported that as the Board's representative to the Community Advisory Committee on Special Education, he met last night with 10 to 15 families whose children qualify for special education services in the District. He said the meeting was informative and that the families asked questions about what the District is doing to improve special education services and outcomes. He thanked Associate Superintendent Jackie Zeller for taking the leadership role in the Special Education Department and shared with the Board some of the thoughts he had as he walked away from the meeting in regard to focusing on adapting to the diverse learning styles and abilities of children. He said, "I appreciate the invitation to sit down with so many families and I am looking forward to our District's already strong commitment to making sure that we improve outcomes for students who qualify for special education."
There was no report from Mrs. Ellenberg as she was not in attendance at the regular session meeting.

Superintendent Nancy Albarrán reported that she had been invited by the mayor to co-chair his School/City Collaborative committee this year. She said the committee is made up of the 19 superintendents in San José who work collaboratively with the city and city staff to address 15 different work plans that the city has co-created with leaders in San José. She said, "We received an update from the different staff members that are running point on these work plans and also had an opportunity to dialogue with the mayor about some of our needs. He continues to have housing at the top of his mind. I know a lot of the superintendents are concerned about our teachers, classified staff and administrators that are not always able to stay in this area because of the housing costs. He reiterated the city's commitment to working with any district that is interested in providing housing for employees." She also reported that the Superintendent's Cabinet, which is made up of the executive team, directors and employee group leaders, held their bi-weekly meeting this week. She said, "We had a really great discussion about what we are going to do to retain 90 percent of staff that are meeting standard. I want to thank Shannon McGee who owns the work plan around this. She did a fantastic job keeping us focused on our employees and what more we need to do to make sure that we have high retention levels. That same work plan and measure will be discussed with all of our leaders in the organization on Wednesday so that everybody is on the same page about what this draft plan looks like and what the expectation is." Announcing that the senior team as well as Dane Caldwell-Holden and Strategic Projects Manager for Special Education Seth Reddy have been working with a group called SPEDx, she expressed thanks to Richard Nyankori and his team who spent half the day with them on Monday going over the framework of how to look at special education, identify strengths and opportunities for improvement, and set goals. Another meeting will be held in November to finalize some areas to be worked on. She said, "I'm really excited because this is not something that we have done as a senior team. I am really grateful for the support that SPEDx is giving us."
Deputy Superintendent Stephen McMahon gave a brief update on Facilitron, the new system that has been put into place to modernize the District's field rental process. Community members can now go online to book the fields. He credited Steve Adamo and Kelly Cefalu in Operations for leading that change. Today he attended a Countywide CBO meeting where STRS and PERS was the topic of discussion. He said, "The State Teachers Retirement System and the Public Employees Retirement System are something we have been talking about in the District for a while. Now as it is increasing pressures on all budgets it is prompting conversations about all programs. Every public budget is being strained by these costs and now everyone is looking at everything." Adding on to Trustee Castellanos' announcement about MetroED's 100-year celebration he said, "There is a lot of talk about Career Technical Education as if it is new. It is not new. San José Technical High School has been doing Career Technical Education since 1917. In 1958 the half day/half day model was established and San José High School, Lincoln High School and Willow Glen High School started sending students half day for career technical education. It has expanded to a Joint Powers Agreement with the five other school districts." He invited everyone to come help celebrate at 10:00 AM tomorrow at MetroED on Hillsdale Avenue.
Associate Superintendent Jackie Zeller gave a brief update on AP enrollment and success on the test, which is one of the strategic measures for high school. She reported that over the last couple of weeks the Superintendent's Council has been meeting with the high school principals who present their plan for enrollment and also for support once the students are in the programs. She said, "This initiative has been going on for about four years and principals have refined their enrollment processes. We are meeting targets in all of our subgroups for the most part. Now we are shifting our focus on the supports we are providing to students. As Nancy said earlier, the research around AP involvement is very clear that just taking the class increases the students' success rate in college. That increases as they take the class and pass the class and as they take the class and pass the test. Our next goal is increasing that pass rate of 3 or 4 on an IB test, increasing that pass rate for all students and making equitable outcomes for our students with respect to the AP scores. Our principals did a great job. We still have two more schools to go to. I am looking forward to the season when they take the test and we get to see how they do." Following her report Ms. Zeller responded to a Board Member question in regard to what the enrollment target is, explaining how the target is set and that it varies by school.
Assistant Superintendent J. Dominic Bejarano gave a brief report on the District's focus on hiring and retaining highly qualified staff. He commented in regard to supporting higher achieving staff so that they continue to grow as well as supporting staff that may not be meeting expectations so that they can grow as well. He said, “Sometimes they just don't make it and unfortunately we have to split ways with them. I just want to thank our legal team as well as the supervisors that provided documentation on two cases that went all the way through hearings where we won unanimously to go ahead and release from the District. It is not always something that we want to do but it is in the best interest of our students and of our district and we know that other employees appreciate that we are upholding our expectations."

|
Commencing January 1, 2017, California debt issuers (including school districts) are required (under California Government Code 8855) to include in filings made with the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission a certification that the Governing Board has adopted a debt management policy. The policy must include: - Purposes for which debt proceeds may be used
- Types of debt that may be issued
- Relationship of debt to capital improvement program or budget
- Policy goals relating to planning and objectives
- Internal control procedures to ensure proceeds are directed to intended use
The proposed Debt Management Policy is based on recommendations from California School Boards Association (CSBA) and Fiscal Crisis & Management (FCMAT). The certification that such policy has been adopted needs to be made prior to a bond sale. The District’s next sale of Measure H bonds is scheduled in early January 2018.

On August 17, 2017, the San José Unified School District Board of Education approved the superintendent appointing and convening an advisory committee to gather facts and make a recommendation limited to possible next steps to the Board of Education on the District’s current enrollment, enrollment projections, and utilization of District facilities. The Advisory Committee on Current Enrollment, Enrollment Projections, and Utilization of District Facilities met on September 13, 2017 and October 10, 2017. The committee's recommendation accompanies this agenda item.
|
| |
Deputy Superintendent Mr. McMahon provided the Board with a brief overview of the events leading up to the recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Current Enrollment, Enrollment Projections, and Utilization of District Facilities. He clarified that there is no action being taken on the recommendation tonight. He explained that the Board had authorized the Superintendent to appoint a committee charged with looking at and analyzing the District's capacity and enrollment and making a recommendation to the Board as to whether the facts warrant moving forward on establishing the committee that would do the full analysis. He said, "We had a representative from pretty much every stakeholder group. They looked at the numbers and concluded that the Board should convene the full process to look at our school capacity and our boundaries. What we are looking for tonight is your reaction to that report."
The Board had a lengthy discussion with input from staff on the recommendation from the Advisory Committee. They voiced concerns about the timeline for making decisions as well as concerns about equity in the distribution of the weight of any decisions that might be made. Deputy Superintendent Mr. McMahon and Superintendent Albarrán responded to the Board Members' request for input on whether there are any other paths or options that might be available to address the enrollment and capacity issue and what the fiscal implications are of doing nothing.
Wrapping up the discussion, Board President Foley indicated that since consensus had not been reached, the Board would not take action at the next meeting related to this recommendation to establish the committee and that the topic would be brought back in some form at the next meeting.

At the request of Board President Foley, Superintendent Nancy Albarrán provided some background on the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San José and San José Unified School District Regarding Police Services on School Campuses.
Superintendent Albarrán introduced Dr. Mary Ann Dewan who is the Deputy Superintendent at the Santa Clara County Office of Education. She said, "I am really glad that she could join us tonight and I want to express my appreciation for her role in this effort." Superintendent Albarrán explained that last spring representatives from the City of San José, the San José Police Department, the City Attorney's Office, Eastside Union High School District, Campbell Union School District, San José Unified and Dr. Mary Ann Dewan representing the County Office of Education engaged in discussions about the role of school resource officers on school campuses. She said, "The group had a dialogue about the MOU and Mary Ann worked with the other agencies to bring forth a shared understanding of the role of officers on campuses and the role of administrators." Superintendent Albarrán invited Mary Ann Dewan to come forward to speak about the effort in bringing forth the MOU.
Dr. Mary Ann Dewan provided background on the development of the Memorandum of Understanding. She explained that research was done and it was decided that having just a contract for policing services was inadequate. The MOU was developed by utilizing partnerships with agencies as well the research that had been done and resources from the federal government about the role of school resource officers on campus. She said, "This Memorandum of Understanding has also gone under thorough legal review by legal counsel from the County Office of Education as well as the City of San José. We are pleased to finally be at this place where we can express our shared understanding about the primary focus being the safety of our students and the primary role of administrators in exercising their responsibility for discipline on the campus and being very clear about the very separate and distinct role of police officers. We are very excited that it has come to this place and congratulate the school district on their partnership in this effort as well."
Responding to Board President Foley's inquiry as to whether this is the same MOU that has been presented to the Santa Clara County Office of Education, Eastside Union High School District and Campbell Union High School District and which school districts have approved it so far, Dr. Mary Ann Dewan confirmed that it is the same MOU and that it has been already been approved by Eastside Union High School District and has been scheduled to be voted on at Campbell Union School District's November meeting. She said, "This Memorandum of Understanding is identical across the school districts. The primary reason for that is that San José PD is the unifying entity. The secondary reason is that it represents best practice and we wanted to have consistency of practice across the county."
Board President Foley opened the discussion for questions from the Board.
Dr. Mary Ann Dewan as well as Deputy Superintendent Stephen McMahon, Superintendent Nancy Albarrán and Director of Student Support Services Dane Caldwell-Holden responded to Board member questions and comments in regard to the MOU, which include reducing the school to prison pipeline, using some of the Eastside practices, evaluating it on a yearly basis, where the research and best practices came from, the amount of training the school resource officers receive, the number of students referred to police, the number of citations by ethnicity, what the citations result in, whether it has been reviewed by principals and teachers, whether there is an operational or board policy about resource officers, how the MOU would operate in the schools and what kind of work the resource officers do.
Mr. Zarghami left the room at 7:37 PM and returned to the room at 7:41 PM.
Following the discussion and a Board Member request for additional information about what other kind of things the resource officers do, Board President Foley requested that more details about the role of the resource officers be included in the Friday letter. |
