Affairs, and institutions supporting religious rights.

3. ROGC Cristo Rey Work Study Agreement. (Mayor)
19-285
Recommendation: 1. Direct the City Attorney to discuss with the Council whether and
how the existing agreement with Cristo Rey can be re-negotiated to
enable a re-bid of the remaining three years of the contract.
2. If some portion of the contract may be re-bid, then direct the City
Manager to:
a. re-bid the remaining term of the contract, but utilize criteria that
ensure that paid work-study job opportunities be focused on
students from low-income families, and any other criteria that the
City Manager deems relevant to the student’s readiness and
availability for City employment.
b. reach out directly-by phone or in person- to senior staff at the
Superintendents’ offices in at least each of the three largest public
high school districts in San José - East Side, San José Unified, and
Campbell-to ensure their notification of the opportunity to participate
in the RFP.
c. Return to Council with an assessment of each of the City’s varied
work-study arrangements with students, including the several
hundred students working in the City’s San José Works program
(with Strive), and other City-funded programs, to determine whether
all high school districts have an equitable opportunity to have their
low-income students participate in those programs.
