REDLANDS, Calif. — The Redlands Unified School District Board of Education will consider additional staffing for elementary school libraries, changes to an expanded learning contract and nearly $1.5 million in facilities expenditures when it meets Tuesday, Nov. 10.
The board will also consider scheduling its annual organizational meeting following last week's election.
Here's what to know ahead of the meeting:
Trustees will consider an agreement allowing existing classified employees to work additional hours to maintain elementary school libraries, following the elimination of elementary library positions as part of districtwide budget reductions in May.
Under the agreement with the Redlands Education Support Professionals Association, employees could work up to 10 additional hours per week, or two hours per day, to support library maintenance through June 30, 2027.
The agreement does not restore the eliminated positions or specify the total cost of the additional staffing.
The board will consider a $53,000 agreement with Loma Linda University Children's Hospital to provide mentoring services for up to 200 foster youth, homeless students and other vulnerable students across eight secondary campuses.
The program would provide monthly sessions focused on leadership, life skills, mental health and career exploration through June 2027.
The board will consider amending an existing contract with Scoot Education Inc. to allow the district to use Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) funding for services provided under the agreement.
The original contract was approved in August. The proposed amendment would add funding sources for services provided from Nov. 11 through June 30, 2027, without changing the contract's original term.
Trustees will consider two facilities expenditures totaling approximately $1.49 million. This includes:
Both items are on the consent agenda, which is typically approved in a single vote unless a trustee requests separate discussion.
Trustees will consider scheduling the board's annual organizational meeting for Dec. 15, when newly elected members will be sworn in and the board will select its officers.
The meeting follows the Nov. 3 election, in which incumbent Patty Holohan won reelection to Trustee Area 1 and Ryan Schavrien won the Area 2 seat currently held by board President Michele Rendler.
The Redlands Unified school board meets Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m. in the district boardroom, 25 W. Lugonia Ave. Closed session begins at 4:30 p.m.
The meeting will be livestreamed, but public comments must be made in person.
The full agenda and supporting documents are available on the district's meeting portal.
