14Action Items (Action Required)1hr
14.1Adoption of Resolution No. 1, Approval of Education Code Options for Teaching Assignments 2026-2027 School YearAction
Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractEach teacher on the attached list has met the requirement(s) for subject matter competence and possesses the required skills and preparation to teach the proposed assignment.
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board adopt Resolution No. 1, Education Code Options, for the following teaching assignments for the 2026-2027 school year. This item must be approved as an Action Item.
RationaleEducation Codes (EC) and Title 5 Regulations (T5) provide local educational agencies (LEAs) with educator assignment options that can be used when an LEA is unable to assign a certificated employee with the appropriate credential. These options, known as Local Assignment Options (LAOs), allow flexibility at the local level and are used solely at the discretion of the LEA. LAOs require the teacher serving on the LAO to give their consent for the assignment and LAOs pertaining to teachers are for general education assignments only and cannot be used for special programs such as Special Education, Career Technical Education, or English Learner Assignments. For LAOs that require governing board authorization, the placement should be approved by the governing board prior to the start of the assignment. This is because educators placed in classrooms without board approval have not begun serving based on the LAO, and are in fact "misassigned". These educators will remain "misassigned" until board approval is in place. Misassignments should be corrected within 30 Calendar days. As well, governing board approval is required annually. This is intended to guarantee transparency in assignments, as board agendas are public and accessible to parents and stakeholder groups. Each teacher on the attached list has met the requirement(s) for subject matter competence and possesses the required skills and preparation to teach the proposed assignment. Their flexibility to work outside their credential authorization allows the district to staff middle schools appropriately as the number of students at a given site fluctuates each year, changing the annual site-based credential requirements necessary to deliver appropriate services to students. Because the middle school master schedule needs to accommodate student needs and enrollment numbers, the need for occasional Ed Code waivers applies. This is a yearly approval process and most of the teachers listed have taught these subjects for many years. Additional requests may be presented to the Board for approval at later dates to accommodate changes in scheduling, elective classes, or new hires who may need an Ed Code Waiver. The Assistant Superintendent is satisfied that each of the teachers on the attached list has adequate knowledge of each subject to be taught. EC 44256(b) expands the authorization for the holder of a Multiple Subject or a Standard Elementary Teaching Credential to teach in a departmentalized setting below grade 9. EC 44258.2 allows the holder of a Single Subject or Standard Secondary Teaching Credential to be assigned to teach classes in grades 5 through 8 in a middle school. EC 44831 allows the holder of a license, issued by the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board, who has earned a master's degree in communication disorders, to provide speech and language services. T5 80005(b) expands the authorization for the holder of a California teaching credential to teach subject matter classes that do not fall within or are not directly related to the broad subject areas listed on their documents. T5 80020.4 allows the holder of a California teaching credential based on a baccalaureate degree and a teacher preparation program, including student teaching or the equivalent, to serve as a school site, school district, and or county staff developer in grades twelve and below, including preschool, and in classes organized primarily for adults.

Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractThe Provisional Internship Permit (PIP), established by the CTC in 2005, enables schools to hire individuals who have not yet met subject matter competency requirements when no fully credentialed candidates are available.
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board approve a Provisional Internship Permit for the following positions for the 2026-27 school year. This must be approved as an Action Item.
RationaleAccording to the CTC, the Provisional Internship Permit (PIP) was created in response to the phasing out of emergency permits and became effective on July 1, 2005. It allows an employing agency to fill an immediate staffing need by hiring an individual who has not yet met the subject matter competence requirement needed to enter an intern program. Prior to requesting a PIP, the employing agency must verify that a diligent search has been made, and a fully-credentialed teacher cannot be found. The PIP is available in the areas of Multiple Subject, Single Subject, and Education Specialist. Individuals who were issued four or fewer Long-Term Emergency Permits may be issued the PIP as long as the employer requirements have been met. Individuals who were issued five Long-Term Emergency Permits do not qualify for the PIP. The PIP will be issued for one year.

Item details
Quick Summary / AbstractApproval of the proposed membership for the Redwood City School District's School Attendance Review Board (SARB) for the 2026-27 school year.
RecommendationIt is the Administration's recommendation that the School Board approves the membership of the Redwood City School District School Attendance Review Board (SARB) for the 2026-27 school year.
RationaleBoard Policy 5113.12 affirms the Board of Trustees' recognition that poor school attendance and behavioral challenges negatively impact student learning, academic achievement, and long-term outcomes. The policy directs the Superintendent or designee to establish a comprehensive and integrated system for the early identification of attendance challenges and to implement strategies that encourage regular school attendance. When Tier I and Tier II interventions have been exhausted at the school level, students with patterns of unexcused absences may be referred to the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) for additional guidance and assistance as part of Tier III support. Board Policy 5113.12, adopted January 14, 2026, also establishes that the Governing Board is responsible for appointing members to the district's SARB in accordance with California Education Code 48321. Consistent with Education Code 48321 and Board Policy 5113.12, the proposed SARB membership includes district administrators and representatives from community-based organizations to ensure a coordinated approach to addressing attendance barriers and connecting families to support services. SARB Membership Operating During 2026-27: Co-Chairs Patrinia Redd, Director of Health and Wellness Brianna Turner, Administrator on Special Assignment-MTSS Members Rafael Avendaño, Executive Director, Redwood City Together Liz Calderon Garcia, Director of Community Schools and Partnerships Ana Paula Garay, LMFT, Lead Mental Health Clinician Katherine Rivera, Director of Multilingual English Learners and Categorical Services District School Nurses Melissa Guariglia, PsyD, Director of Infrastructure & Clinical Services or Representative from Family Connections Approval of the SARB composition ensures compliance with Board Policy 5113.12 and strengthens the district's integrated approach to improving student attendance, engagement, and long-term academic success.
Financial ImpactThere is no direct financial impact associated with the approval of the School Attendance Review Board membership. SARB participation is part of the existing responsibilities of district staff.
