Summary
Trustees approved a three‑year clinical affiliation with CSU Fresno, adopted a campus drone policy, accepted $16,500 in donations to schools and reviewed the annual Williams compliance report.
In routine business Tuesday, the San Rafael City Schools board approved several non‑controversial items that the administration said will support student programs and campus safety.
The board approved (first reading with waiver of second) a three‑year affiliation agreement with California State University, Fresno’s School of Nursing to allow nursing students to complete clinical field experience in district facilities; district nurse Heather Nelson will supervise interns. Trustees approved the agreement by motion and voice vote.
Trustees also approved a board policy to restrict unmanned aircraft systems (drones) on district property without written consent after staff reported a drone had disturbed wildlife at the district’s former Galenas campus. The policy language was adapted from a neighboring district’s policy.
Business services reported donations totaling $16,500 to multiple campuses — including Target gift‑card support for San Pedro families and a $10,000 contribution from Visions Management for AP testing and athletics at Tara Linda — and the board voted to accept the gifts.
Finally, staff presented the annual Williams report summarizing county compliance visits to several schools. Facilities findings and menstrual‑product stocking issues were raised; Marcucci told trustees that corrective actions have been completed and the report will be posted with agenda materials.
All items were approved by voice vote.
