The Facilities Sub-Committee meeting is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 17th at Carquinez Middle School.  The Superintendent and Board members Colombo and Brandon will update the Board.
 
Comments:
Information
Minutes:
The Facilities Sub-Committee meeting last night was very informative. A panel discussion, review of 1930's blueprints of Carquinez and tour of JSHS were included. The committee reached consensus to make a formal recommendation to the Board to proceed with the Seismic Mitigation Design Criteria Report and OPSC "Conceptual Approval". The committee members were disappointed that more community members weren't there to ask questions. A video of the meeting was made and will be posted on the JSUSD website. The panel members stated that the building will be torn apart to fix the issues. The project may need to be pared down to get everything that is needed and stay within budget.
Nancy Rieser, Crockett resident spoke regarding this item. She was appreciative of the opportunity to hear the panel and committee members and wishes the district the best as it moves through the process. She requested that the Board make sure the video is left unedited, for transparency reasons. Grand juries all over the state are looking at school district's construction projects and bond measures.
The information from last night's meeting is not new except for Mr. Warner's statement that DSA has acknowledged that there is a collapse hazard at Carquinez. Three independent studies by engineers have stated there are severe seismic deficiencies and they encouraged the district to act. The 2014 bond lost. What is best for the students hasn't been addressed by those opposed to the bond. The district must do something to help the students and staff. JSHS must be finished. The district needs help from the public to pass the bond. Notice of the meeting last night was sent out as a press release to the media. Only one reporter contacted the district for information. Mr. Trotter sent messages home to parents by way of phone messages and texts, the meeting was posted on the District website, was listed in the District newsletter and in the Crockett Signal.
The video was made by a Carquinez teacher and will be available to the superintendent by the end of the week.
Committee member Bud Burlison asked at the facilities meeting that an item be placed on the next committee agenda to discuss a rotating community outreach team to go to community meetings with the blueprints to show what needs to be done to retrofit the building. That Facilities meeting is scheduled to be held January 19, 2016 at 6:00 PM.
3.L. Local Facilities Bond Discussion
Speaker:
Rob Stockberger, Superintendent & Derek Pinto, CBO
Rationale:
The Board will discuss next steps as they prepare to place a local facilities bond measure on the November 2016 ballot.
 
Comments:
Information
Minutes:
Preliminary conversations with Mr. Farrell from Dale Scott & Company are ongoing. Mr. Farrell will be at the 12/9 Board meeting to present options for a bond. The Board would like to have the information before the meeting so they can be prepared to discuss.
Ms. Brandon provided a draft conceptual timeline through November 2017. She would like each Board member to provide and discuss a similar written proposal at the next Board meeting.
Mr. Stockberger, Mr. Pinto, Mr. Brauning and Ridge Greene (RGM & Associates)held an initial meeting to create a list of needs at JSHS, breaking it into three categories: work that is essential or required, work that needs and should be done, and work that they would love to have done. That list will be ready as soon as possible.
Design committee should include not only community representation, but also site and district level staff. A project management consultant will be needed to guide the projects.
Ms. Brandon will visit construction vendor booths while at the CSBA conference next month.
President Parsons asked Board for a consensus - is the Board ready to commit to proceed with a bond on the November 2016 ballot to complete JSHS and Carquinez? Board members would like a discussion item with possible action on the December 9th agenda.

4.D. Consider Ratification of Agreement for Services with MLP/YMCA of the East Bay for the Mindful Life Program at Carquinez Middle School (C)
Speaker:
Derek Pinto, CBO
Rationale:

Mindful Life Project provides students with practice in mindfulness, a research-based area of social/emotional learning.  Mindful Life Project is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Richmond, California, that has been working with students in Richmond for four years, and Rodeo Hills students for three years.  The instructors teach mindfulness strategies through the use of culturally relevant means such as  expressive arts, hip-hop/performing arts as well as mindful breathing and teaching awareness of the present moment.   There are two regular school day school programs that teach self-awareness, self-regulation, impulse-control, confidence, and resiliency. Mindfulness is the foundation of the programs and is a specific and intentional practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment.  Through focused and specific awareness, mindfulness builds skills to navigate ALL thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and experiences by coming back to the here and now.   Mindfulness practices have been shown to decrease students’ impulsive and possibly negative behaviors.   

 Staff members at both Rodeo Hills and Carquinez have embraced the practice of mindfulness.   Not only are students receiving instruction from Mindful Life instructors, but teachers are carrying the practice over into their daily lessons.   At Carquinez Middle School, all staff have participated in training and many are using mindfulness strategies with their students on a daily basis.  Many classes at Rodeo Hills Elementary School are using mindfulness daily in the classes, and this year, the morning announcements contain a brief mindful sit four days a week.  Students at Rodeo Hills receive both the classroom instruction, “Mindful Community,” and there is additionally a small group intervention piece of their work there, “Rise Up.”
