Administrative Regulation 1312.4 requires a quarterly report on Williams Act Uniform Complaints to be presented to the Board.  The most recent quarterly report is attached for the Board's review and action.

For the quarter ending December 31, 2021, no complaints were received under the Williams Act for Uniform Complaints.

Consistent with Government Code section 54953, on October 12, 2021, the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District adopted Resolution No. 22-06: Authorizing Use of Remote Teleconferencing Provisions (AB 361), finding that there is a proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.  After reconsideration of the circumstances of the state of emergency, state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

Upon release of the U.S. Decennial Census data, school districts that use by-trustee area elections are required to evaluate whether the current trustee areas have approximately equal population using the new census data. The variation in total population among trustee areas must not exceed 10%. If the total peak variation is less than 10%, no changes are needed. If the total peak variation exceeds 10%, trustee area boundaries need to be adjusted. This process is referred to as “redistricting.”

The District hired professional demographers, Cooperative Strategies, to conduct a study of the 2020 Census data to determine whether the current trustee areas are population balanced. After evaluating the data, Cooperative Strategies determined that the District will need to make adjustments to the current boundaries. Cooperative Strategies will present the findings of their study and present two proposed map adjustments for the Board and community to consider.

Thereafter, the Board will hold a public hearing to gather input regarding the proposed map adjustment options.

On January 25, 2022, Cooperative Strategies will again present its study of the 2020 census data, as well as four potential map options. 

These map options are available for public review at 2020 Trustee Maps Pending Approval

The Board will hold a public hearing to gather public input regarding proposed map adjustment options.

These map options are available for public review at  2020 Trustee Maps Pending Approval  

The Chair will open a public hearing to receive public input.

The security system at PRHS has had issues with reliability and equipment resulting in the inability to identify students involved in vandalism and security incidents. Verkada's system will not only upgrade the existing camera system, but will also add vape and environmental sensors to the restrooms. This will assist with reducing the vape and smoking in the restrooms, and will also help in identifying individuals responsible for vandalism in our restrooms.

Verkada is the system that has been in use by Templeton USD as well as SLOCOE and is what we recommend to bring resolution to the issues that have been present in our current system at PRHS. Total Cost for 5 years is $208,572.83 or 10 years at $233,364.76. (installation cost is the same for either choice).  Funding from AB86.

5 Years at $208,572.76   OR  10 Years at $233,364.76

Installation cost is the same regardless of choice.  Funding from AB86.

Because Internet broadcasted meetings are not expected to end, we were tasked with researching solutions for our Board Room. The existing cameras and overall audio/video (AV) system in the Board Room was never intended to be a permanent solution but a temporary fix to remote meetings. This has now changed to a permanent request to broadcast meetings.

This upgrade will improve the quality of the projectors in the Board Room, replace the audio system, and add cameras that will improve the broadcast quality. This quote will also add a mobile option to the AV equipment so that when there are community meetings at school sites or throughout the community, we can have a mobile audio solution that will enable better community engagement, multi-language supports, and overall a more professional audio/video solution. Part of the equipment solution is provided by CDWG ($61,809.96), and the other installation and other equipment by EKC ($18,114.15). Total Cost is $79,924.11 from General Fund.
