1221:54Discussion Items
Kathryn Stewart (2min) — Asked about the number of interactive teaching hours for Mandarin immersion students online, requested a diagram showing how 12 students would be physically distanced in a classroom, and questioned when parents would need to commit to distance-only learning so classroom numbers could be planned.
Linda Elkins (1min) — Shared that Contra Costa County's June 22 guidance allowed 4 feet between students (rather than 6) and masks strongly encouraged but not required for ages 3–11, suggesting the board look into whether San Mateo County could adopt similar guidelines.
Maria Stockton (3min) — Speaking as a CSEA representative, thanked Wendy Kelly for a productive meeting, urged the district not to lay off classified staff given temporary funding uncertainties, and described creative ideas to redeploy classified employees to support both online and on-site needs.

14.21:03:51Approval of 2020-21 Proposed Budget for Redwood City School DistrictAction
Katie Goetz (2min) — Clarified that PTO funds raised for Mandarin immersion teacher coaches and classroom aides must run through the district as employee costs, and that the budget line items do not fully reflect total spending and donations benefiting both Orion and Mandarin immersion programs.
Sarah Rutherford (2min) — As Orion Mandarin Immersion site council member, explained that PTO fundraising is intentionally structured to avoid Title 1 dependency for personnel, noted the high cost of language immersion programs, and described why classroom aides are critical given the non-participation norm for non-Mandarin-speaking parents.
Megan O'Reilly Green (3min) — As interim co-president of Starship PTO, pushed back on social media accusations of inequitable funding between Orion and Mandarin immersion, explained that raised funds benefit the whole campus community, and asked the district to help address the optics issue.
Amy Wang (2min) — As a Mandarin immersion parent, cautioned the community against drawing conclusions from a few budget line items without understanding the full picture of funding sources, and urged people to avoid divisive, inaccurate statements online.
Sue Jorgensen (4min) — Identified herself as the author of the Facebook post in question, defended her comments as professional and factual, expressed genuine concern about funding equity across programs and schools including Taft and Northstar, and shared positive news about librarians partnering with the Redwood City Public Library for community reads.
