Martis Camp Foundation grant to Glenshire Special Friends Program

The board accepted a $15,000 grant from the Martis Camp Foundation to support the Special Friends Program at Glenshire Elementary School. The staff recommendation to accept the grant was moved and seconded; the board voted in favor. Motion on the record: “I'll move to approve the generous grant from Martus Camp Foundations for special friends program at Glenshear Elementary School.” The motion carried; the transcript records five “Aye” votes.

Memorandum of understanding with Boys and Girls Club for ELOP

Trustees considered and approved a memorandum of understanding establishing a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe to operate state‑funded Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) sites at Kings Beach Clubhouse, Truckee Elementary and Alder Creek Middle School. The MOU formalizes delivery of before‑ and after‑school programming prioritized for unduplicated students (those eligible for free/reduced meals, English learners, foster or homeless youth). The board approved the MOU as an action item; the transcript indicates the item was taken and approved though the motion text and a roll‑call tally are not recorded verbatim.

Facilities contracts: Truckee High gym floor and roof inspections

The board approved an agreement with Boberg Harpwood Floors to resand and refinish the gym floor at Truckee High School. A motion to approve funding for the floors was made and carried.

The board also approved a consultant agreement with Benchmark Incorporated to perform additional roof inspections across district buildings; staff noted the work will be funded from the general fund and is part of planned maintenance. A motion to approve the consultant agreement was moved, seconded and adopted.

Other routine approvals

The consent agenda was approved as presented. Several items on the consent agenda were not pulled for discussion and were approved by motion and affirmative vote.

Greta Stein, an ASB member at Truckee High School, described recent school activities including a “Candyland” spirit week and a spring formal dance with a cotton-candy machine and inflatable obstacle course. “This was Candyland themed, and we had a dress up day every single day along with a rally on Wednesday,” Stein said.

Stein, alongside fellow student leaders Sofia Jacobs and Alyssa Lopez, outlined several ongoing efforts at Truckee High: a “rewear with flair” clothing exchange to keep prom affordable and eco-friendly; a new parking committee enforcing correct parking and booting or towing vehicles in fire lanes; a composting awareness campaign led by EnviroLution with cafeteria collection stations; and a prom safety program coordinated with Truckee Fire, California Highway Patrol, the coroner’s office and Truckee Police. Jacobs said the midterm schedule will reduce stress, with two two-hour blocks per day and 15-minute breaks.

“We’re trying to just really make it as safe as possible for people to get to prom,” Stein said, listing impairment simulations, crash-impact demonstrations and a permit station as components of the safety plan.

North Tahoe High student representatives Valerie Laguna and Randy Martinez reported athletic and arts successes, including state finishes for Nordic and snowboarding teams, a successful music fundraiser and a college-planning field trip to Bay Area campuses. “The winter sports season wrapped up with some impressive results,” Martinez said.

At Alder Creek Middle School, Principal Yann Larsen and assistant principals Julia Wister and Andy Lusk presented the school’s “superpowers” theme, a staff‑driven initiative emphasizing values such as integrity, kindness and collaboration. Counselor Rachel Coles explained that the school’s program is aimed at supporting pre‑adolescents as they navigate emotional and social development. Teacher Brianne Lopez described units on adolescent brain development used with eighth graders; Heidi Pruitt emphasized collaborative classroom practices and a recent concert that connected elementary, middle and high school bands.

Yvonne Acovos introduced students from ACMS’s Latina Sunidas Club, a weekly group for sixth‑grade Latina girls that focuses on leadership and culture. Club members described a recent lunch‑time event offering immigration information, resources and cultural activities; one student said the event used the monarch butterfly as a “powerful symbol of migration and hope.” Board members asked about the club’s membership and history; the club advisor said the group has run for about three years and this year focused on the sixth‑grade transition.

Board members praised the student presentations. Trustee comments noted strong public speaking from the students and commended efforts to make prom and testing accessible; trustees also asked follow‑up questions about financial support for SAT fees and membership composition for student clubs.

Less critical details: Truckee High promoted an ARC leadership trip and performance opportunities, and students reminded families about prom ticket pricing tiers and scholarship/fee‑assistance options.

The student presentations were part of the regular agenda’s “student recognitions” and public‑comment segments; no formal board action resulted from the presentations themselves.","Student leaders from Truckee High, North Tahoe High and Alder Creek Middle School reported on recent events, safety initiatives, and student clubs, including a composting campaign and a prom safety plan.

Curriculum: personal finance and ethnic studies

Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Sean Roderick presented a first read for a new high‑school personal finance course proposed for Truckee High School in the 2025–26 academic year. Roderick described course goals: budgeting, saving, credit management, investing and long‑term planning; the presentation stated the curriculum aligns with University of California A–G requirements. The presentation was informational only and will return for board action at a later meeting.

Roderick also presented proposed instructional materials for a new Pre‑AP English 2 course with integrated ethnic studies at North Tahoe High School and for a high‑school ethnic studies course at Truckee High School. The primary text under consideration was A Different Mirror for Young People by Ronald Takaki, described by staff as a narrative that includes first‑person letters, diaries and poems to increase student relatability. Staff characterized both items as first reads for information; trustees complimented the approach and said the materials would be brought back for consent.

Policy updates: attendance and counseling

Dr. Anna Marie Cohen presented first reads on proposed revisions to board policy and administrative regulation 5113 (Absences and Excuses) and on guidance and counseling services policies. The absences policy update reflects new law cited in staff materials (identified in the staff presentation as Senate Bill 350 and Assembly Bill 1503) to add excused absences for events such as funerals of immediate family members, accessing victim or grief services, and attendance at religious retreats. The counseling services update reflected multiple state bills cited by staff (AB 278, AB 2200, AB 703, AB 665 and SB 223) clarifying nondiscrimination in guidance and counseling and permitted services; staff said both items will return for action at the next regular board meeting.

Trustees’ reaction

Board members praised the personal finance proposal as a timely addition to high‑school offerings and said several student forums had requested such instruction. Trustees also commented positively on the proposed ethnic studies text, noting the narrative, first‑person approach may engage students more than a traditional textbook. No final approvals were taken; staff will present materials and policy revisions for potential placement on a future consent calendar for board action.","Trustees received first readings for a new personal finance course, proposed ethnic studies instructional materials, and revisions to attendance and counseling policies driven by recent state laws.
