The San Rafael City Schools Board of Trustees recorded the following formal actions at its Jan. 27, 2025 meeting. Motion language and outcomes below reflect motions and votes stated on the public record in the meeting transcript.
Closed session ratification of resignation and release — approved The board ratified the resignation of a middle‑school administrator effective Jan. 31, 2025, in exchange for a release of legal claims and a lump‑sum payment equivalent to five months’ salary. The transcript records the motion was moved by Trustee Kerner and seconded by Trustee Rodas; the board voted to approve the settlement (recorded as three yes votes while 1 trustee was not yet present during the closed‑session report‑out). The item was listed under closed‑session reporting (Gov. Code §54957, public employee discipline/dismissal/release) and carried on the record.
Resolution 2425‑40 (Sanctuary District) — approved The board voted to adopt Resolution 2425‑40 declaring San Rafael City Schools a sanctuary district. The resolution states the district will not solicit or collect immigration or citizenship information from students or families and will not assist immigration enforcement on campus except as required by state or federal law. Staff and union representatives committed to carry out communications and training; trustees directed staff to distribute materials in English and Spanish.
Williams quarterly report acceptance — approved The board accepted the Williams Quarterly Report for Oct.–Dec. 2024, as required by California Education Code section 1240 and Assembly Bill 599. The report noted misassignment and vacancy reviews for Terralinda and San Rafael High schools: Terralinda High had three misassignments for 2023‑24 (one corrected within 30 days), San Rafael High had one unresolved misassignment involving two CTE classes where a part‑time teacher is in the process of securing an English‑learner authorization. Trustees approved the acceptance of the report on the public record.
Consent agenda — approved Trustees approved the consent agenda items as presented at the meeting after a brief question about curriculum materials and course inventories.
Donation to Terralinda High School — approved The board accepted a $300 donation from the Ferrari Owners Club to Terralinda High School’s auto shop program; the board moved and seconded the donation item and approved it on the consent calendar.
Also noted: oath of office for student representative The board administered the oath of office to new student representative James Zeno (Terralinda High School) during board business; this was a ceremonial, recorded action rather than a contested vote.
The transcript records the motions and general outcomes as above; if vote tallies beyond the minutes were required for audit, the official minutes and clerk’s record should be consulted for precise roll‑call tallies and any absent trustees.
