Chief property officer Matsumoto told trustees the district has been upgraded to a AAA rating from Moody’s, which staff said will reduce borrowing costs for taxpayers. Matsumoto also reported that market volatility after recently proposed tariffs pushed expected interest rates higher and prompted staff to delay a planned public sale of $57.5 million in Measure P Series A bonds. He said the district is monitoring the market daily and expects to sell this year once conditions stabilize.

Why it matters: Measure P funds roof, HVAC and other modernization work across district sites and is the source for a planned district office modernization. A higher credit rating generally lowers the interest cost of borrowing; a postponed sale can shift construction timing for summer projects, officials said.

The board voted unanimously to award program- and construction-management services to TeleQ Construction Management, the district’s recommended firm after an RFP and interview process. The firm will manage tranche 1 projects the district identified for Measure P, including roofs, HVAC, siding at Sandpiper and Fox, parking-lot work at Central and Cipriani, and field upgrades at Ralston and Nesbitt.

Matsumoto told trustees Measure I — a prior bond measure — has about $9.8 million issued, with roughly $5.5 million spent to date, and the district must spend about 85% of that issuance within three years to meet program rules. He said Measure I funds will help cover district office modernization and E-rate technology infrastructure while Measure P issuance is finalized.

District staff said the planned district office modernization will be a substantial, roughly yearlong project requiring temporary office space. Matsumoto said the district is closing a lease for temporary office space and aims to begin construction in late September or October with a planned return to the renovated office in October 2026.

TeleQ introduced its team to trustees and described program deliverables: prioritization and sequencing of tranche 1 projects, program-level budgeting and schedule, and day-to-day construction management to minimize disruption at occupied campuses. TeleQ will work with the district to align roofing and HVAC sequencing so warranties and installations are coordinated.

Action: The board approved a contract to hire TeleQ Construction Management to provide program and construction management services for Measure P tranche 1 projects. The motion was moved and seconded; trustees voted unanimously to approve the contract.

Clarifying details: Matsumoto said staff initially expected a roughly 4.5 percent interest rate when the board set the financing plan; market movement had pushed quoted rates as high as about 5.5 percent in the days before the planned sale. Matsumoto said roofs and HVAC work are priority projects and that some scope and schedule adjustments could be required if material availability or pricing remains volatile. He also said Measure I and E-rate funds provide interim capacity so critical work can proceed if timing shifts.

Speakers in this discussion included CPO Matsumoto, business services specialist Reese, Trustee Chuckie Northrop (participated in interviews), and Blaine Yoder, vice president, TeleQ Construction Management.

Ending: District staff said they will return to the board with a finalized TeleQ contract showing proposed staff and hourly rates and will recommend a new bond sale date when market conditions allow. The board directed staff to continue monitoring markets and to keep trustees informed of scheduling impacts to tranche 1 projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Board Meeting - Thursday, April 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Board of Trustees on Thursday received an update showing the district’s bond credit upgraded to a top-tier rating and approved hiring a program and construction manager for Measure P projects.","taxTitle","Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary, School Districts, California","taxId",65691,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268318,"Board approves consent agenda; trustees adopt teacher and classified‑employee proclamations and preview summer items",940,40000,980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3056043-ede5f9844e56cb3e25a2a47e43ee8217&start=40&end=980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3056043-ede5f9844e56cb3e25a2a47e43ee8217/thumbnail_40000.jpg","/articles/6268318/California/Board-approves-consent-agenda-trustees-adopt-teacher-and-classifiedemployee-proclamations-and-preview-summer-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268318-9c3ea88aef86ed621179164a669337d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193141&Signature=isC3sZWUvZoIX0VPAfYo~OOVw-V38cGwaWeFnby~WfwIFK1SV6vPQdTXDdZZiNqLWxzxbFIF0Qa266MtzibcGccpOFzNmufR392fdnPoe-KFYq0EtS3H8JHUkW6IPXWeW0fybCXeYabJgSApyuKutZpIjE0Ztivlf0942~Q2D3Z55e7PgmREEDLjEZZ8PWv4MOuTcrmA~QQXC~nCboiCGjUtrhZ8FTcIXMQe3-cKI-5og5z7kkIOxd0a2YuNhz2rMHb-GYnEiKjx8oUsR~CFpr3Dqs5yGHmY1tMVk2L5~5FHCQcANzAWDTZbTjtIC43XBvrdtTwuIOHQs0wp1358Fw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Board of Trustees approved its consent agenda and heard trustee and staff reports that highlighted school events and district recognitions.

President Brunner called for approval of the agenda and consent agenda; trustees voted and the motion carried. During board reports trustees highlighted community events: attendance at a Schoolforce gala, Nesbitt science night and a Sandpiper multicultural festival. Trustees thanked volunteers and school staff for organizing student events.

The board also adopted two resolutions on the consent agenda recognizing staff: a resolution proclaiming Wednesday, May 14, 2025, as California Day of the Teacher in the district and a resolution recognizing a week in May 2025 as Classified School Employees Week to honor classified staff. The resolution text cited Education Code language describing designated observances. The transcript did not provide a clear, unambiguous printed date range for the classified‑employees week in the recorded remarks; the resolution language appears in the consent materials.

Staff and trustees also previewed district business coming to future agendas: a board retreat focused on governance and enrollment, a public hearing on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the budget, and a planned RFP for the district’s school-lunch vendor. Superintendent DeGuara and staff said the lunch-vendor RFP will be cost-neutral to the district (aligned with National School Lunch Program rules) and that a small number of vendors typically respond.

Public comment earlier in the meeting included a representative of the Belmont Redwood Shores Faculty Association thanking the district for transparency about adding lunch to a Wednesday schedule and raising concerns about the timing and equity of specials schedules across sites.

Ending: Trustees asked staff to return with the TeleQ contract for Measure P at the next meeting and set a board retreat on governance for April 20. Staff said they will carry the LCAP and budget items to the public hearing on May 15 and will circulate the school-lunch RFP timeline for community input.","Trustees approved the consent agenda, heard several trustee reports and adopted resolutions recognizing California Day of the Teacher on May 14, 2025 and a week honoring classified school employees in May 2025.

Principal Donovan introduced Danielle Kim, the school’s full-time counselor, and described a year of instructional work and community events that staff said produced strong student engagement. Central staff told trustees they partnered with Fox for a yearlong writing professional-development program that used lab-classroom demonstrations, cross-site collaboration and coaching cycles to strengthen elementary writing instruction.

Staff also described social-emotional learning (SEL) integrated across grade-level instruction and Miss Kim’s model of visiting classrooms every other week so SEL lessons align with ongoing academic projects. Donovan and Kim said SEL topics are reinforced in project-based work and that the counselor now pushes into classrooms and into recess to support real-time behavior and collaboration skills.

Trustees heard about the junior coaches program, funded through Schoolforce with Playworks support, which trains older students to lead recess activities for younger peers. Staff said the pilot began in late January, used a Playworks coach for training and aims for a fuller rollout next school year. Central described a weekly “lunch bunch” staffed by the counselor that uses a ticket/pass system to limit numbers and foster inclusion for students who do not gravitate to traditional playground options.

The principal credited teachers, volunteers and Schoolforce fundraising for sustaining extracurricular events — family reading nights, fall fun day and a multicultural festival at Sandpiper — and said staff value cross-site collaboration. The presentation included photos of recent school events and a summary of writing-PD activities that the principal characterized as yielding both instructional and community benefits.

Clarifying details: Staff said Playworks provided a coach for a one-week training late January and that Schoolforce contributed funding from its gala proceeds. The junior coaches effort is a pilot this year with a planned fuller year in 2025–26. The counselor’s classroom schedule is every other week so SEL can be tied to academic projects; the lunch-bunch uses a limited-pass system to keep groups manageable.

Speakers in the school highlight included Principal Donovan; Danielle Kim, school counselor; teacher Caster Wood (science teacher cited); and Talia Carter (partner from Fox, named by staff).

Ending: Trustees congratulated Central on the California Distinguished School recognition and asked follow-up questions about program scaling, junior-coach selection and how writing-PD results will be assessed; staff said they expect qualitative gains now and more measurable data over time.","Central Elementary staff told the board the school received a California Distinguished School award and described efforts on writing instruction, social-emotional learning, a Playworks‑funded junior coaches recess program and a weekly lunch-bunch to increase inclusion.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268326,"Board adopts declaration of need for fully qualified educators to allow emergency permits",0,7920000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3056043-ede5f9844e56cb3e25a2a47e43ee8217&start=7920&end=7920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3056043-ede5f9844e56cb3e25a2a47e43ee8217/thumbnail_7920000.jpg","/articles/6268326/California/Board-adopts-declaration-of-need-for-fully-qualified-educators-to-allow-emergency-permits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268326-399ba4ae183370d5e1506f393bd096d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193141&Signature=aGV5l7SGvDFaxBabttIpoBYUkIrpfkBl3tFWm23G90fdMNiByDIH8vI2e3vXWPXI0-7IiHMzYxEusP9VTUh4JU9X6A4Hq1YFlaebJc~KxEZSd93s7m5BxVyvnXmNj2vm7MUue0L-MjLhVbQbyq5FRraaeiAroHDNhHYnva18msINE8ddMJYpTOp3VFR3cfL19ZiEXcFkvn1Anqz1jI0UGX32yHywCzF-XKJC0zSGKlm3c-MIJKXN3uad3vCZ4icwK29ZPBoemAXpDG-0ITKvBDwYO67ME~2pNsZgnVl8B1tsJUowg36dTv8dJ88jk1A2yHG0~KZgMr6BTCwwFB0BYw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Board of Trustees voted to adopt a declaration of need for fully qualified educators, a routine annual filing required when a district anticipates hiring teachers on emergency permits.

Director Eastman told trustees the declaration estimates how many teaching positions the district may need to staff with emergency credentials next year, based on recent hiring trends and anticipated growth areas such as transitional kindergarten and special education. The document will be filed with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) so the district can issue emergency permits if it cannot recruit fully credentialed teachers.

The board moved and seconded the recommendation and approved the declaration unanimously.

Clarifying details: Eastman said the estimate is based on prior-year hiring and projections for classroom growth; the declaration lists the credential areas and estimated counts but those line-item numbers were not read into the public record during the meeting.

Speakers: Director Eastman presented the item; trustees voted to adopt the declaration.

Ending: Adoption allows the district to proceed with standard hiring flexibility should fully credentialed candidates be unavailable in specified credential areas.","Director Eastman presented the annual declaration estimating the number and types of teachers the district may need to hire on emergency permits next year; the board adopted the declaration by unanimous vote.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":103,"_43":114,"_45":114,"_47":115,"_49":116,"_51":117,"_53":118,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":119,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":120,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268331,"Board reports closed‑session settlement approved in student litigation",80000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3056043-ede5f9844e56cb3e25a2a47e43ee8217&start=80&end=80","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3056043-ede5f9844e56cb3e25a2a47e43ee8217/thumbnail_80000.jpg","/articles/6268331/California/Board-reports-closedsession-settlement-approved-in-student-litigation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268331-807d587d43cdd0c1483ba23ea231b66b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771193141&Signature=d1LqIbjHNA6aiQPOUCtxHLUze9fxkdwAqK7PmDCD3rLObXRvAItCbwIRyVdGg3rSkSOwCxil9uKRLIi5N6L86cXwVkGX66-w1u669dcfZWRVh8MwnlSakAsbgJtkX~hARHJuZnpT4HSzT06RIpaV5Vjn-PG75GDaIF88xQ2cnIzZVf~wMPOzDCwEW1WfzDjxp4uVygUM2ty-skjdBhR~AZrwCMYS6quS8bz5Rd5SfR399Ed8fu7dtnnUrnM5AYq9Wn3GayQkVCKjPOSzTIDFO-b7EF9pMdzcgdc-hypuFKXxLaIvLcI8jnEQoRIKeUiBSEfHqzkBQ8AAyIi8ARN8AA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Board of Trustees reported in open session that it approved a settlement agreement in closed session.
