San Jose Unified Board Approves Contract for School-Based Mental Health Intervention Services
The San Jose Unified School District Board of Education approved the proposed three-year service agreement with Pacific Clinics for school-based intervention team services for wellness centers. This contract is intended to supplement existing district mental health services and address concerns raised in the civil grand jury report regarding the lack of wellness centers. While concerns were voiced about potential supplanting of district employees' work and the privatization of services, the board ultimately approved the agreement. The board also approved contracts with other organizations, including for credit recovery programs and mental health services, with discussions focusing on ensuring measurable student outcomes and data privacy. The approval of N20 passed 4-1-0 with one opposed vote.
San Jose Unified Board Approves Increase in Developer Fees for School Facilities
The San Jose Unified School District Board of Education adopted Resolution 2026062501, increasing developer fees for school facilities. This increase, based on a justification study by King Consulting, allows the district to collect the maximum statutory rates: $5.38 per square foot for residential construction, $0.87 per square foot for commercial/industrial, and $0.12 per square foot for mini storage. The study found that the district is justified in collecting these fees due to modernization and reconstruction costs, and a student generation rate of 0.234 TK-8 students per new residential unit, based on local data. These fees are restricted to funding facility upgrades, modernizations, and new construction necessary to serve students generated by new development. The increase is attributed to the State Allocation Board's adjustment of maximum allowable rates every even-numbered year, reflecting construction cost increases.
San Jose Unified Board Adopts Policy on Trustee Professional Development Access
During the San Jose Unified School District Board of Education meeting, Trustee Gripstad raised concerns regarding the governance and accessibility of professional development opportunities for trustees. She proposed a policy amendment to ensure trustees have equal access to professional development organizations like CSBA, CLSBA, and NSBA, free from board president approval gatekeeping. The amendment also aimed to establish principles of free society governance, constitutional accountability, and trustee independence in selecting professional development. The motion to adopt this policy amendment passed 5-0-0. Additionally, Trustee Gripstad inquired about the documentation and review process for sole-source or non-competitive purchasing justifications, the number of proposals received for contracts, partnership duration with vendors, and performance metrics for contract renewals, indicating a focus on transparency and accountability in procurement.
San Jose Unified Approves Arts and Music Plan, Utilizes Over $3.48M in Proposition 28 Funding
The San Jose Unified School District Board of Education reviewed and approved the Arts and Music in Schools Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The district received over $3.48 million in state funding from Proposition 28. While the legislation allows for individual school site spending decisions, the district coordinates the funding to ensure economies of scale. 80% of the funds are allocated to certificated staffing FTE for arts education, and 20% for other expenditures like contracted teachers or materials. The district successfully filled all 7.7 FTE positions for the upcoming school year, avoiding the need for a waiver that was granted in the previous year due to unfilled positions. These Proposition 28 funds supplement, rather than supplant, existing district investments in arts and music education. The report detailed expenditures at each school, and specific dollar amounts and usage plans for each school are available in the School and İlçey Improvement Plans (SIPSAs).
