If a member of this Board, the Superintendent, or the Public so requests, any item shall be removed from this section and placed on the regular order of business. MOTION: waive reading of the Consent Calendar, accept the reports, adopt the resolutions, and approve other items . a. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR MARCH 5 and 12, 2014, BOARD MEETINGS (consent) SITUATION Enclosed with the background materials are the minutes for the March 5 and 12, 2014, Board meetings. FISCAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION That the Board of Trustees approves the minutes for the March 5 and 12, 2014, Board meetings. b. APPROVAL OF PERSONNEL RECOMMENDATIONS (consent) SITUATION Enclosed with the background materials are the Personnel Recommendations for certificated and classified employees. FISCAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION That the Board of Trustees approves the Personnel Recommendations as indicated. Background March 26, 2014 Page 2 c. APPROVAL/DENIAL OF SABBATICAL LEAVE REQUESTS FOR 2014-15 (consent) SITUATION The contract between the district and the Sequoia District Teachers Association (SDTA) allows for teachers to take Sabbatical Leaves provided the teacher has worked seven years or more in the district with the latest evaluation being satisfactory. This year, the district received one application for Sabbatical Leave. The application was reviewed by the District Sabbatical Leave Committee. The committee confirmed that the application met the requirements for sabbatical leaves and forwarded the application to the Superintendent for consideration. The District Sabbatical Leave Committee was comprised of the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, the SDTA President, and one SDTA Representative from each site, as well as one district administrator and one site principal. The collective bargaining agreement states that the Superintendent will “make his/her own analysis of the quality of the applications.” Given the cost of sabbatical leaves, the Superintendent gave careful consideration to the application from Mr. Steven Wong in which he proposes to observe, meet, and co-teach Algebra II courses throughout the district in order to assist with the transition to the Common Core Standards in Mathematics. He also proposes a plan to pursue his Master’s degree in Educational Administration from California State University, East Bay. After careful consideration, the Superintendent recommends that the Board denies Mr. Wong’s request. Whereas there is agreement that much work is necessary to transition to the Common Core Standards in Mathematics, the district is currently engaged in a collaborative effort with its partner districts through a grant from the Silicon Valley Education Foundation. Additionally, the District’s Department of Professional Development will also focus on the facilitation of such work, and integrating and coordinating the work of Mr. Wong into these efforts will present another facet to an already complex and ambitious initiative. The Department of Professional Development was not consulted in the formation of Mr. Wong’s proposal. FISCAL IMPACT Sabbatical leaves have a substantial cost to the district. If approved, the district must pay 60 percent of Mr. Wong’s compensation (salary and benefits) and the district must hire a teacher to replace him in the classroom. RECOMMENDATION That the Board of Trustees denies the Sabbatical Leave request for Steven Wong for the 2014-15 school year. d. APPROVAL OF FIELD TRIPS (consent) SITUATION Carlmont High School 15 Junior Statesmen of America (JSA) club members will travel to conference in Santa Clara on April 4-6, 2014.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH PARTNERS IN COMMUNICATION (consent) SITUATION A hearing impaired student, who resides in our district, was released from Capuchino High School due to mental health concerns. The student’s only mode of communication is sign language. The student was placed at his home school and requires language interpreter services to receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). The original contract for services was for $35,000; because of additional time, expenses, and the fact that that the student will attend summer school, staff recommends amending the contract by $32,700.

  • SMUHSD Stadium Improvement Project
    San Mateo Union High School District NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT SMUHSD Stadium Improvement Project Pursuant to Sections 15086 and 15087, Title 14, California Code of Regulations, this Notice is given to advise interested parties that the San Mateo Union High School District (SMUHSD) has completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the proposed project described below and that the Draft EIR is available for public review. The project description, location, and the potential environmental effects are discussed below. Project Title: SMUHSD Stadium Improvement Project Project Applicant: San Mateo Union High School District Project Description: San Mateo Union High School District is the only school district in the Athletic League that does not have or plan to have permanent stadium lights (with the exception of the lights at Burlingame High School). The proposed project would address this deficiency with installation of new stadium lighting and public address (PA) systems at five district high schools: Aragon High School, Capuchino High School, Hillsdale High School. Mills High School, and San Mateo High School. This would replace the current system of portable lights, which are diesel powered and generate noise, diesel emissions and light pollution. Current stadium lighting technology allows stadium lights to provide focused light with minimal glare. The lighting installation at each stadium would generally consist of two sets of poles. The first set of poles would support lighting fixtures for illuminating the field during sports competitions, practices, and other events. These poles would be approximately 80 feet tall and would be installed at eight locations within each stadium, typically arranged as four poles spaced evenly along each long side of the athletic field.
