Beth Curtis, identifying herself as a 26‑year resident of Truckee and a representative of teachers across the state, said she emailed the district’s attorney before the meeting and asked the district to consider filing a complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to have the NIAA policy declared unlawful. Curtis said she believes the NIAA policy “clearly conflicts with education code section 221.5F” (as cited in her remarks) and warned the board that, without a CDE waiver, a citizen complaint could prompt state investigation and legal exposure.

Curtis said she supports transgender students’ right to play now and in future seasons and urged the board to send a message of support to students who may feel excluded. After public comment concluded, President Driller said she would opt out of the upcoming conversation and the board did not take up a response or motion on Curtis’s request at the meeting.

What was said
Curtis: “With no CDE waiver in place, the board is basically declaring to the public that the district is now violating the law… Anyone sues, you're sitting ducks.” She urged the district to pursue relief against the NIAA and cited national coverage of potential litigation by the ACLU as context.

Board response
Trustees closed public comment and moved to the next agenda item. Superintendent Kramer and board members did not place the request on the agenda or provide a formal response during the meeting; President Driller said she was stepping aside from further conversation that evening for personal reasons.

Note on legal references
Curtis referred repeatedly to an “education code” section in her remarks; the board did not cite or endorse a statutory interpretation at the meeting and took no formal action. Any legal claim or lawsuit would be subject to counsel review and the board’s decision‑making process beyond this public comment period.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TTUSD Board May 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At public comment May 21 a resident asked the board to file suit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association, saying the NIAA policy conflicts with education‑code protections for students who compete consistent with their gender identity.

The board also approved related housekeeping resolutions tied to eligibility for facility funding and approved the consent agenda.

Votes at a glance
- Resolution 32 (application for eligibility and funding under state school facilities program): approved by voice vote. Todd Rivera, chief business officer, described the program’s modernization and new construction tracks, matching‑share requirements and site eligibility rules. The board voted to participate and to authorize district representatives to sign applications.
- Resolution 33 (master plan submittal requirement for Office of Public School Construction): approved by voice vote. Rivera said the board already adopted a five‑year master plan; this resolution acknowledges new submission requirements before applications are filed.
- Resolution 34 (annual authorization for Placer County to collect the district parcel tax): approved by voice vote. Rivera said this is an annual administrative item.
- Bid award and contractor agreement 25‑00‑08M (slurry sealing, crack filling and striping): awarded to Elements Mountain Company as the lowest responsive bidder at $274,185.60; approved by voice vote. Rivera said two bidders responded; the other bid was approximately $310,674.
- Donations and grants: The board accepted several community donations and grants (Truckee Rotary Community Foundation $1,000 to Sechin Outdoor Education; Truckee Rotary Community Foundation $1,000 to Alder Creek Middle School’s Latinas Club; a $1,000 grant from Soroptimist International of Truckee Donner for Las Mariposas Club at Truckee Elementary). Motions to accept each donation passed by voice vote.
- Consent agenda: approved by voice vote; items included routine personnel, field trips and other operational approvals.

How trustees voted
Board members approved the listed items by voice vote; meeting audio recorded multiple “aye” responses and no recorded dissent. Trustees asked clarifying questions about matching‑share obligations for facility funding and the maintenance contract’s funding source (routine maintenance budget).

Next steps
Rivera said staff will follow the facility program application rules and submit required documents to the Office of Public School Construction when sites and matching funds are ready. The pavement contract will be scheduled and executed under the district’s routine maintenance plan.","At its May 21 meeting the board approved participation in the state school facilities program, authorized parcel‑tax collection by Placer County, accepted several small donations and approved a district maintenance contract.

Assistant Superintendent Sean Roderick and summer administrator Amy King told the board the district will partner with the Boys & Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe for expanded ELOP/ACES (After‑School Education and Safety) programming, Aim High for middle‑school programming, and will run TK Summer Bridge, credit recovery and an Extended School Year (ESY) special‑education program at district sites.

Why it matters: District officials said the mix of academic and enrichment offerings addresses learning needs, helps families with childcare, and connects students with community partners. Board members praised the program’s scope and growing enrollment.

Program details
Amy King said the district will allocate $888,160 to support comprehensive summer programming under ELOP and ACES. Boys & Girls Club will host camps June 23–July 25 and provide extended childcare into August; as of the board meeting site rosters showed 203 registered students at Truckee and 172 at Kings Beach.

New pilot academic summer school (4 weeks, four hours per day) will be offered at Kings Beach and Truckee (rising grades 1–3) with 20 students per class, certificated teachers and instructional aides. Aim High (contracted middle‑school program) will run June 30–August 1 at Kings Beach and reported strong demand — King said Aim High set a 90‑student goal and had more than 100 applications.

High‑school credit recovery will run June 23–July 18 at both high schools and will require students to be on campus for classes and assessments, a change district staff said improved productivity in prior years. ESY (special education) programming will run June 25–July 23 at Truckee High for students with IEPs; the program includes breakfast, lunch and transportation.

Logistics and partnerships
King said the district coordinated transportation, facilities, food services and instructional staff; the Boys & Girls Club will provide meals at multiple sites. The district will staff classrooms with certificated teachers and aides and assign district administrators to support operations. Trustees asked for a fall report on participation and outcomes.

Board response and next steps
Trustees complimented staff and community partners for program scale and coordination and asked staff to return in the fall with participation results and qualitative feedback. King said staff will provide a follow‑up to the board in the fall on outcomes and enrollment trends.","The district outlined its 2025 summer program mix on May 21, including ELOP offerings run with the Boys & Girls Club, Aim High middle‑school programming, TK Summer Bridge, credit recovery and ESY special‑education services.

District wellness lead Kim Bradley told the Board of Trustees the district now operates wellness centers in eight schools — four elementary, two middle and two high schools — and provides additional supports at other sites. She said the work combines one‑on‑one interventions, targeted small groups and peer‑to‑peer mentoring programs such as Link Crew at the high schools and WEB at the middle schools.

Bradley and Superintendent Kirsten Kramer said the district will begin a universal K–12 SEL screener, administered twice yearly, to measure five CASEL competencies and better target supports. The district also plans three “signature practices” — an inclusive welcome, relationship building and reflective closings — to make SEL consistent in classrooms and staff meetings.

Why it matters: School officials said mental‑health and SEL programming are no longer optional add‑ons but core supports that affect attendance and learning. Board members praised the growth and urged continued attention to staff wellness and training to avoid overloading teachers.

Details of services and data
Bradley described wellness centers as sites for regulation skills, emotional check‑ins and short‑term skill groups (mindfulness, grief support, organization and study‑skills). She said centers provide both informal check‑ins and formal “check in/check out” plans and that peer mentoring and student‑led programs — including a Hope Squad and substance‑use recovery groups — extend support beyond staff hours.

Bradley traced the program’s growth: initial community volunteers in 2012, staff hires beginning in 2014–2015, Link Crew in 2017, Hope Squad in 2020, middle‑school wellness centers in 2021 and hiring of mental‑health specialists in 2022. She said the district has tracked growth in individual supports and group sessions; staff cited 368 group sessions in 2023–24 and said those group totals continued to increase in 2024–25 as the program expanded into elementary schools.

Equity and targeted outreach
Bradley said the district has focused outreach to students who may be underserved by traditional services: over the last three years, roughly 18% of students participating in wellness groups identified as LGBTQ and about 37% were Latinx, figures she said reflect efforts to reach students who have historically had less access to services.

Funding and sustainability
Bradley outlined a layered funding approach. The district plans to participate in the state Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) to pursue fee‑for‑service billing to private insurance (district staff stressed the program would not bill families directly). Placer County Office of Education provided capacity‑building funds; Nevada County and Placer County Mental Health Service Act dollars, the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation and district general funds also back the work. Bradley said the district will explore medical and mental‑health billing systems and may hire a part‑time medical billing specialist to improve reimbursements.

Board reaction and next steps
Trustees expressed support and raised two consistent questions: how the district will protect staff time and wellness while adding trainings, and whether staff will have access to the same services offered to students. Bradley said some staff‑focused offerings have been piloted (staff wellness weeks, chair massages and voluntary SEL trainings) and the district plans more intentional staff SEL professional development at convocation.

Bradley said the district will return with results from the California Healthy Kids survey and with data from the new SEL screener once it is in use. She closed by illustrating individual student cases — an elementary student who stabilized attendance after supports and a high‑schooler who created a student‑led substance‑use support group — to underscore the program’s practical effects.","The Tahoe‑Truckee Unified School District told its board May 21 that it has expanded school-based wellness centers, boosted mental‑health staffing and will begin a K–12 universal social‑emotional learning screener. Officials said new billing and grant strategies will be used to sustain the work.","actionData","errors"]
