Why it matters: The housing project, cited in the meeting as an $89,000,000 development financed in part with tax‑exempt bonds and Measure T funds, is entering a tenant stabilization phase; trustees sought a governance model that separates day‑to‑day operations from the district while preserving oversight and protecting district finances.

What staff proposed. District counsel and outside counsel described a nonprofit model used by other school districts. Attorney Meredith Johnson told trustees the nonprofit would be the governing body for housing operations and could apply for tax‑exempt status; she said trustees would retain significant control by setting membership criteria and approving bylaws. \"By approving this resolution, you would be directing district administration to go ahead and start that process,\" Johnson said.

Points of debate. Trustees and public speakers pressed two themes: (1) who should serve on the nonprofit board and what expertise was needed, and (2) whether the nonprofit would isolate the district from liability and general‑fund exposure. Several trustees urged that the nonprofit’s board include outside professionals with experience in real estate, asset management and accounting rather than only stakeholder representatives. Tenants and community members raised immediate complaints about incomplete services at the building and asked the board to extend a two‑month rent concession the board had earlier offered to new tenants; tenants said mail, laundry and trash services had been unreliable.

Amendment and vote. Trustees agreed to move forward with the initial incorporation step but to postpone approval of the nonprofit bylaws and appointment of the initial directors to a later meeting. The board amended the resolution to remove immediate approval of the bylaws and then voted unanimously to authorize filing the articles of incorporation.

Ending: Staff said they will return with revised bylaws reflecting trustee input, propose a process for recruiting directors (including community and professional expertise), and report back on tenant claims and potential compensation.","Trustees authorized staff to file articles of incorporation to form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to govern district staff housing at 699 North Shoreline Boulevard, after discussion about board composition, liability protections and tenant complaints about incomplete services.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6578902,"District names YMCA sole ELOP vendor for 2025–26 as funding uncertainty grows",440,9295000,9735000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3127683-e22f115ed5805350fd48382aa938f1f7&start=9295&end=9735","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3127683-e22f115ed5805350fd48382aa938f1f7/thumbnail_9295000.jpg","/articles/6578902/California/District-names-YMCA-sole-ELOP-vendor-for-202526-as-funding-uncertainty-grows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6578902-b725a6fd8a7cd70de357217a9fc9d66e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770750798&Signature=c2VdZoYrHhh-Is4-qCXcKx8MCu~to75LnzcLGMowKGvpWOCxdv3E4eQlW9RR9Ulnp8KHKREB8WM6eJlewf3-HjMT8jqklOIUaY4~dVHx8Ibadu5r7EQfe7x4HoR6eExAwS8GO5CCdb2derEXuoCN-WYB1RTqPINLUerLaXLPCc7L8K7Bal0Rxrb8bxOJi33IPghmiWGd7k22qVgcDPkTAMsMduO0X0I21ug2JdaL2j5-LDXS28nrgQRxwA4zKphIyFpW27sW13xBuca7hdbO-y2tyW98Pn4UAInZjdENfQHAviktIi57Q-kqw0J4~830SS0~Xnr~oz3QzcSJW2UKUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Director Jeff Chang briefed trustees on MBWSD plus, the umbrella for the district’s after‑school and intersession programs, and recommended contracting the YMCA of Silicon Valley as the sole ELOP vendor for 2025–26.

Why it matters: Expanded learning serves about 1,100 students daily (with roughly 700 in summer) and is funded largely by two restricted state sources — the After School Education and Safety Grant (ACES) and the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) — both of which limit the district’s spending flexibility.

Program overview. Chang said MBWSD plus combines the district’s in‑house Beyond the Bell program and community partners Right at School and YMCA. \"MBWST plus Expanded Learning is the umbrella term for our district sponsored after school and intersession programs,\" Chang said. He explained ELOP rules require the district to offer programming to all TK–6 unduplicated pupils and obligate the district to provide transportation and health/safety supports where needed.

RFP and vendor selection. The district ran a request for proposals and received 15 submissions. Chang said the review team considered program quality, cost, equity and transition costs. The recommendation to award YMCA of Silicon Valley as the single ELOP vendor for 2025–26 reflected the YMCA’s capacity to scale and provide consistent service; Beyond the Bell will continue to operate ACES and ELOP programs at several sites and to expand at two sites in 2025–26.

Budget outlook and constraints. Chang told trustees that ELOP funding has become less predictable and that annual apportionments have dropped over the last three years; a modest state bump was not expected to preserve carryover into 2026–27. He described the district’s historical enrollment response rate (about 60–65% of families invited) and said special‑education related costs for summer staffing are a growing budget pressure. \"We’ll bring you back the topic of the ELOP finances next school year so that we can explore our options for a sustainable and high quality MBWST plus expanded learning program,\" he said.

Next steps. Staff will present the ELOP program plan and the YMCA contract for board approval at a future meeting and run parent surveys on after‑school needs; trustees asked staff to consider sliding‑scale or other approaches used by nearby districts.

Ending: Trustees asked staff to prepare a follow‑up presentation on financial sustainability and to involve families in planning; no formal vendor contract was approved at this meeting.","Director Jeff Chang recommended YMCA of Silicon Valley as the district’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) vendor for 2025–26; trustees heard budgetary risks as state ELOP allocations have fluctuated and staff warned further adjustments will be needed.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_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":56,"_74":56},6578907,"Public comments push trustees to reconsider large contracts as consent agenda clears",1096,7303000,8399000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3127683-e22f115ed5805350fd48382aa938f1f7&start=7303&end=8399","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3127683-e22f115ed5805350fd48382aa938f1f7/thumbnail_7303000.jpg","/articles/6578907/California/Public-comments-push-trustees-to-reconsider-large-contracts-as-consent-agenda-clears","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6578907-6600efd357bcf3763ad10041178df92d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770750798&Signature=fhSAKgdSDDL1KyXStQZPY4H5RA-M-OGQWFyLWdWE56EBeU0f5TjNfKNhfe0G7wMpw7LB9Kh3JdBEo5nAE07y7i0pwLWN4UVUWqEc1BluACR14BfrcbvlyFfAvDQBNDdqSC-O6vQuRahoB0ybLDUxs4FtADTnKCitX9C08hYltYYEn0k9msOdanVoz722DK6Y71luvX8HJcxMncJkHZlr7AEd4ZSPQnAEzIonvm8TZ58R5RZjTY3OK3jQpSfezX83TVCMwFFx6yKrYw-38fRgZDwfoZ5g6z~MMW51YsXtBgKoI9n8JddhDfGez7eI8E9yWf2JbnDallYZpvn6suTj3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees faced sustained public comment and detailed trustee questions about high‑value purchases included on the consent agenda before approving it unanimously.

Why it matters: Community speakers and some trustees said large contracts deserve discussion rather than routine approval under consent, citing instructional impact, screen time concerns and fiscal prudence.

What speakers said. Multiple parents and residents asked trustees to pull item D (the Chromebook contract) and other high‑dollar items from consent. One parent cited studies about handwriting and early literacy and said: \"I think that $500,000 that you're spending kind of as a habit has become habituated to, like, oh, we did this last year. Let's do it again.\" Another community member asked the board to set a dollar threshold so expensive contracts are not routinely rubber‑stamped.

Trustee and staff responses. Trustees acknowledged the public concerns and several said they want a district‑level review of how technology is used in classrooms and what is purchased for different grades. Trustee comments recalled recent decisions to reduce some classroom software usage and noted schools that have purchased additional licenses with PTA funds.

Board action. After discussion and brief trustee comments, Trustee DeFazio moved to approve the consent agenda; Trustee Lambert seconded. The board voted \"Aye\" and the motion passed unanimously.

Ending: Trustees directed staff to prepare a broader review of technology‑use policy and to return with data and potential study‑session options; the district meanwhile completed the consent agenda vote.

Votes at the meeting on the consent agenda were recorded as unanimous; specific contracts remain listed in the district consent packet and will be implemented according to the approved motions.","Several community members objected to high‑value consent agenda contracts — a roughly $500,000 Chromebook purchase and an $888,350 Rhythm & Moves contract — and urged trustees to pull items for separate review.

The principal opened the presentation by introducing staff and students and saying the showcase would \"highlight 3 major, events and initiatives and activities,\" which included student performances and videos from program participants. Jung told the board the school serves 325 students with 21 classroom teachers and more than 40 additional staff members.

The nut graf: Bubb leaders described a constellation of programs they say aim to support students’ emotional growth, strengthen ties with Spanish‑speaking families, and reduce the school’s environmental footprint — efforts staff say have produced measurable results and might be models for other sites.

Social‑emotional learning. Counselor Kira Henry Duran described monthly SEL lessons and small‑group counseling and introduced Sewn2Grow, a digital check‑in platform the school uses for weekly mood and reflection prompts. \"Students engage in weekly emotional and academic check ins,\" Henry Duran said, and staff receive alerts if a student may need additional support. Two students, who identified themselves as Ori and Alex during the presentation, said the platform helped them express emotions and get adult support.

Family engagement. Jose Carrillo, the school’s School and Community Engagement Facilitator, described translated communications and outreach strategies for Spanish‑speaking families, including voice‑read bulletins sent to families who prefer that format.

Project Cornerstone. Parent volunteers who lead Project Cornerstone reading groups told the board the program gives staff and families a common language for talking about feelings and helps children form relationships with caring adults across grade levels. Parent lead Vanitha Olwen said volunteering \"gives us a way to be connected, not just to our child, but to every single child in your child's class.\"

Sustainability and the Green Team. Student green‑team leaders described a student‑run sorting system that separates liquids, recycling, landfill and organics at six campus stations. They told trustees the program reduced weekly landfill waste from more than 40 trash bags to fewer than three; presenters emphasized the change was driven by student leaders and parent volunteers who help run sorting stations.

Inclusion and student leadership. Fifth‑grade students described heritage month posters and lunchtime cultural tables that brought parent volunteers into classrooms to teach traditions such as playing dreidel during Hanukkah. Student leadership groups also described schoolwide spirit events and a \"peace path\" program they said helps students resolve conflicts.

The presentation closed with a student musical performance and an invitation from Principal Jung for trustees and community members to visit the campus.

Ending: Trustees thanked staff and students for the presentation and recessed briefly before continuing the meeting’s agenda.","Principal Jane Jung and staff presented programs at Benjamin Bubb Elementary, highlighting a schoolwide social‑emotional platform, a student‑led green team that sharply reduced lunch waste, and heritage‑month activities coordinated with parent volunteers.","actionData","errors"]
