The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District Board of Trustees approved its consent agenda and heard trustee and staff reports that highlighted school events and district recognitions.

President Brunner called for approval of the agenda and consent agenda; trustees voted and the motion carried. During board reports trustees highlighted community events: attendance at a Schoolforce gala, Nesbitt science night and a Sandpiper multicultural festival. Trustees thanked volunteers and school staff for organizing student events.

The board also adopted two resolutions on the consent agenda recognizing staff: a resolution proclaiming Wednesday, May 14, 2025, as California Day of the Teacher in the district and a resolution recognizing a week in May 2025 as Classified School Employees Week to honor classified staff. The resolution text cited Education Code language describing designated observances. The transcript did not provide a clear, unambiguous printed date range for the classified‑employees week in the recorded remarks; the resolution language appears in the consent materials.

Staff and trustees also previewed district business coming to future agendas: a board retreat focused on governance and enrollment, a public hearing on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the budget, and a planned RFP for the district’s school-lunch vendor. Superintendent DeGuara and staff said the lunch-vendor RFP will be cost-neutral to the district (aligned with National School Lunch Program rules) and that a small number of vendors typically respond.

Public comment earlier in the meeting included a representative of the Belmont Redwood Shores Faculty Association thanking the district for transparency about adding lunch to a Wednesday schedule and raising concerns about the timing and equity of specials schedules across sites.

Ending: Trustees asked staff to return with the TeleQ contract for Measure P at the next meeting and set a board retreat on governance for April 20. Staff said they will carry the LCAP and budget items to the public hearing on May 15 and will circulate the school-lunch RFP timeline for community input.
