9:30 pm
and working the agencies. they also wanted to mention that they would like further dialogue about the online professional development. and finally, western presented with the presentations from our nurses that work in our student support services and what particularly is important to know is that they came to us on national school nurse day. so it was the celebration for the school nurse but also really to stem from my visiting flynn and speaking with their school nurse and just watching her interact for the morning part of the day. two days and the nurse that i spoke with and she was there two days. and she said well, he's going three day as week.
9:31 pm
there is emotional support there. a mom can pick up her son had him here, you know, she's coming from work. do i really need to take him home? >> yes, you need to take him home. this is the third time throwing up in class. they gave her suggests an then maybe the next few days he would be able to return to school. that was on the spot having seen that young man also seeing me, also seeing other students. we went to a particular acting where she was focusing that she wanted to check in. this is an amazing level of working that could happen. more casts under her umbrella. under one nurse's umbrella.
9:32 pm
er >> they manage so -- but also what are mental, social, and emotional well being and really seek deeply to partner with staff at the school and family at home. that's what i got most. there are school nurses really particularly care about the interactions with family and how they can be a plane to families and home but also their families at school sights. i >> i think they're just amazing people and we needed to come back just to hear about the work they do in our schools. i just wanted to note that we had 10, 1, 12 nurses come -- 10, 11, 12 nurses come after school to the committee meeting. the nurse with the longest
9:33 pm
professional record had been working for 42 years. 20 years as a nurse practitioner and 11 years in sfusd. the most i have is 22 years and 36 years. as a nurse practitioner. so every one has multiple degrees. i want to comment the work that they do and salute that. so i just wanted you all to know that. >> thank you so much, commissioner. >> the meeting for may 17, commissioner yee? >> i want to readdress one of them which is the -- what we want to put on the ballot for novet. and the other -- the second one is development strategies, 1950's mission feath and this
9:34 pm
was the -- given us to. there was some recommendations that we might to follow. i think there are general con sen -- consensus. and a lot of this discussion was centered around the bhole teacher housing piece that we would -- but we wanted to see if it was practical or not in terms of the regulations that we have to follow. the other item that we -- i dressed was potentially november 2011. so besides the school bond, there was the -- there was --
9:35 pm
brought to our attention that there is a city bond measures. she would look at road repainting and safety bonds which we wanted to make sure that -- of that especially with the bobbed up. there's going to be a proposition for quality neighborhood schools or something. i can't even read my own handwriting. but basically, the only reason we've discussed that one is to see if we wanted to put some language in into the argue. some facts about where we are, those neighborhood schools. and then the last thing that we talked about was this charter amendment that would have -- look at the issue of board of education cop pen sation and we
9:36 pm
made the decision that we would like to ask the the charter amendment proposition rather than to have it in the ballot. >> i just want to make note from the commissioner when is the report that the staff presentations from the may 9 meeting or linked off of the district's home page. >> i forgot one other page. that ad hoc community meeting are being held for the public. >> thank you. >> thank you. and then our last report is from are the augmented rules. there are three items in furm five.
9:37 pm
>> -- number five. >> it was an emerging topic that the state legislature is looking into. we've already talked about the public education enrichment fund. there was an item on don'ting california school board's association series 1 1,000 and series 9,000 board policies. so this is an effort to put all of the board policies and resolutions into a searchable data base so that people can refer back to them. we can follow progress on them. i want to recognize sue sang wong on staff and she matched
9:38 pm
our policies with csca policies. the committee would like to put this on the agenda for a committee as a whole meeting in june because adopting these policies is a very, very, very serious and legally -- potential i involving activity because these are the rules that we have to live by. so we want the members of the board to take a hard look at recommended changes for those two series. so we'd like to ask that that be placed on the june committee as a whole meeting. the other proposal and the establishment of a formal policy for points was postponed
9:39 pm
to the next community -- committee meeting. >> we'll take it under advicement. we've got a pretty packed committee for the reminder of the year. can you stick council member tatiana kostanian: your mic, please? -- can you stick it to your mic, please? >> the thing to pay attention to is there are a whole bunch of areas where we don't have policies at all that are recommended. i think with this beginning section whether we will be able to have the policy, committee as a whole review or not, people need to look at whether they want us to consider that we should have policies in areas that it's recommended that you have policies even though maybe 2/3 of them we don't have policies at all. so -- >> and we were going to also talk with commissioner murase.
9:40 pm
we've been excited about getting these policies online in a searchable format. and we still are. but we're actually going to recommend slowing it down a little bit precise by because of the comments that commissioner winn has made and the proposed modification. we may push it a little farther than june. >> thank you. commissioner maufas. >> i'm sorry. i wanted to make certain that i was very, very clear about something when i talked about our school nurses and i wanted to be intentional about it. high school nurses, and i believe it's worth noted. theirically any shans. their mental and health care behavioral and nutritional nurses. they go out to find glasses an dentists and other health care
9:41 pm
doctors -- practitioners. they have found them who assist in school sites in that endeever. and that's a big dean when a child can't see. and a school nurse has recognized that they can see an eye doctor and it's kathy bab cock who introduced us to our bigger word of nurses. i wanteded to thanker. -- thank her. >> i wanted to thank her and also say this. one of the main things that she did was give food to kids and almost every kid that came into her office on that morning was having trouble in school did not eat breakfast. so i just want to say that my lesson is that we have to focus on getting the breakfast expanded. >> commissioner norton?
9:42 pm
>> things come up and unfortunately, commissioner fewer had to leave but with the proposal -- if budget committee has been noticed which would mean that this budget item would not come up until late june, which is we actually don't have a budget committee meeting in june. we usually do a committee as a whole in june. >> so my suggestion and commissioner yee is in the quo rum would be that staff write us a budget memo that the board can consider when this will come up and so they can hear it at the curriculum meeting on june 6 and then have it come back to the full board at the first board meeting in june because all of these instructors have layoff notices that we cannot rescind until we resolve this issue. and so i think it's a reasonable suggestion to do it
9:43 pm
this way. >> superintendent? >> whatever with the commissioners. >> i'm not going to move on it. >> but if they discussed with them for her before she left. she said talk to norman. i don't think it is fair to these instructors -- i'm opposed for this going to a committee in the first place. but fine. fwow have to wait until the end of june seems to be to me nothing more than manipulated this whole situation as it has been manipulated from the beginning. >> so the discussion was going to be about the cost associated with having the extension of this resolution. do you have any thoughts on how complicated the calculation
9:44 pm
would be or the presentation to that piece of it? >> i think i would concur with superintendent that depending -- depending on what the commissioners would like to do, i think we could handle it through a written memo and we could also have a committee discussion. so i think we would just do whatever we -- you would want us to do. and i think we could handle it fine either way. in terms of the analysis. the discussion is another matter but the analysis we could handle either way. >> i'm going suggest that we have it handled through a memo. if the next budget committee meeting isn't until the end of june, then we can -- if we can sort out what needs to be sorted out and the questions can be answered through memo, we can move forward and putting it back on the agenda but if
9:45 pm
the budget committee feels that it's not sufficiently satisfied through a memo, then it sounds like it likely to go -- >> how tease budget committee determine that without a meeting? we would have to basically violate the brown act and come up with a concurrence, correct? if there's not a public committee of the budget meeting -- how are we supposed to determine if the budget committee doesn't want to hear this if we don't have a meeting? >> you would not be able to make any decisions outside of this meeting. if you wanted a formal decision by the body, you can all get a copy of the memo outlining the cost. that could go to the board members and that discussion can take place at a remember board meeting. >> but she could pull it off. are >> you want to delegate that to the chair of the committee --
9:46 pm
>> frankly, i'm sorry, i'm going to be very frank. do i not trust the chair of the budget committee to make this decision right now. it's too politicized. this issue is too divisive for this board. an i would prefer that the entire board get whatever budget information and its complete budget information the staff can provide. can have a budget discussion at full board meetings when we consider this resolution at the second reading. and i don't understand why -- i mean, we're talking about, what, seven instructors, nine instructor who is now have layoff notices that we cannot resolve, potentially until the last day of june. and i think that's incredibly unfair. >> commissioner yee? >> so first of all, my decision isn't -- aren't based on manipulating anything. i hope it wasn't targeting me. >> no, i said the chair.
9:47 pm
so you know, i'm a little uncomfortable and i said it because the chair's not here. i think we can make decisions upon where to put it outside of this meeting. you know, i see several place where is we can put it. one, the memo. two >> we're going to have a special another -- just announce another meeting on the budget if it doesn't work out. and i'm willing to do that. it only takes twoss members of the -- two members of the budget committee to call for it in meetings. you have my commitment on that. no. let me finish. i mean, but i prefer -- i didn't have the discussion that you had. so for me to -- just talk to me. let me talk to everybody just figure out how to, you know, move this forward, ok? >> ok. what i would like is the board leadership's commitment and i'm
9:48 pm
willing to try to get this hear in the budget committee if that's what the chair would like to do but i would like the commitment of the leadership that this will be heard at the june 14th board meeting and that we won't have any further delay past that. >> i'm ok with that. >> so -- >> i understand -- i don't know whether the budget analysis can be done -- i'll make that clear. but last month we heard that we could have a special meeting of the committee, that we could have a special meeting of the committee on the same night that you noticed the committee. and we had the meeting on thursday night. so tomorrow we could notice a special meeting on the budget committee to hear this item. and if we could do it then, we can do it now. now, whether or not the budget analysis can be done in two days is another question. but i think it probably could and i don't see why we couldn't do that if we've done it before
9:49 pm
as commissioner norton has pointed ow. we have on more than one occasion just this spring foregone a budget review in this committee sew something could go back do the board and have the budget analysis at the full board meeting. these are practices that we have taken up in recent times and i don't see why we shouldn't do it for this two. that's my request that we do that. >> so the second meeting in june is the 28th. so you want to have it the first meeting in june? >> this would be june 14th. >> which is the 14th. so -- and i don't want to put the pressure on the staff to have a committee report prepared in the next two days. commissioner yee -- >> deputy superintendent -- >> commissioners just to respond to the option that commissioner winns is throwing
9:50 pm
out, from my perspective, we -- we could pull together the basic cost information for a meeting and actually allow the work that's already been done. i'm not sure exactly what question commissioners for the committee members will bring to that discussion and maybe we won't have all of the analysis ready that people are contemplating but we have done some basic analysis of the cost of the program. we've refreshed the analysis, the type of analysis we've previously done. and were there still questions that would give us plenty of time to have a special budget meeting or have a further memo bring it back to the full board, any of the things we've done on other issues on a fairly routine basis recently? >> so, adding it to tomorrow's
9:51 pm
meeting, is that a possibility? >> as long as we do it within 24 hours, it could be a special meeting of that committee. >> so thursday's meeting -- what kind of meeting is this? it's a budget committee meeting -- >> you want to have a special meeting to do that and you can get a memo to that effect to answer -- to respond to the analysis of the cost effected -- the cost for -- by thursday? >> yes, the staff piece of that, we could pull together some information. if i may, i would at the risk of thickening the plot more, i do want to point out that the question of whether or not to have a -- another meeting of that committee, from what i'm gathering, that discussion is saying the chair of that committee being present right now. i just want to point out in case that wasn't obvious to you.
9:52 pm
>> i will take it for myself to call the chair tomorrow and speak to her about that. i -- because she did ask it for to be in the budget committee, then i feel confident that we could have con sen sys on this. -- consensus. i give my commitment to call before 3:00. who should i let know? ester? by 3:00 we should be ok? >> it would be fine. it would be immediately following the meeting -- >> if you'd like you can type more than one sentence before commissioner fewer gives you the whole key. it's done. it's just the one sentence we need, one item. >> and if she doesn't, then we're going to go with the memo and hearing this at a meeting
9:53 pm
at the 14th, at the regular meeting on the 14th and to hear that on the 14th meeting because we need to get the notices out, yes. ok. so is everybody fine with that? ok. thank you. >> any other reports? >> well, i move to happy stuff. i want to congratulate the court school that graduated yesterday in city hall. it was great to see our kids walk across the stage. i'm going to be keynoting lincoln point's high school. and there are four graduations going on at the bill graham auditorium. i want to con garage rate and thank -- congratulate and thank the people who were there to speak about the budget cuts. >> commissioners? >> i attended an administrative end of the year celebration and
9:54 pm
commissioner yee was also there. it was great to see the commissioner. we had a wonderful serenade by bridgett carranza. it was really beautiful. i wanted to thank commissioner maufas in the loyola dedication. several commissioners and ms. casco were there on may 19th. i attended the fair well ceremony for the japanese bi can churl -- bi-cultural program. we participated in the asian street organization. eight years ago this was a dream of his to bring together all the asian market communities to have a street celebration. people thought he was crazy. he couldn't get money.
9:55 pm
and now it's this very big event. very, very successful. i just want to do a shout out to this six educators who were recognized at that award event. ellen chu of the jefferson every early education. rosie lee, eileen collier, koi chi of abraham lyndon high school, may choy and handily do, director of the vietnamese cultural center. >> thank you. >> commissioner yee? >> just quickly. i went to the spring festival in sunny side. they had this performance that i think they still have an opportunity, you might want to see it. on thursday at 11:00 or 6:00. it's called fly away productions or something. they had these four performers hanging on a roof top and they
9:56 pm
were just dancing on the wall sideways. so that was kind of cool. and then i went to thurgood marshall's high school graduation today and was kind of nice to see that the valedictorian who received a 4.43 is going to noels college. you see students going to u.c. berkley and these are students from thurgood marshall. and last -- one more thing. i probably shouldn't say this because i was invited to be on a panel for one of the superintendent republican instructor forum up in sacramento last week in which the whole discussion was chronic absenteeism. claudia was very helpful in giving me information and
9:57 pm
updating me. it was really nice that the whole -- four hours was just discussing -- different people discussing you know, what to do with this issue. i'm real glad that people are beginning to recognize that is an issue. >> thank you. >> commissioner maufas? >> thank you, just very quickly, president mendoza. i just wanted to say that thank you to commissioner mirase for being the master of sore moan nis at the asian week foundation -- ceremony anies at the asian week foundation. and i went to thurgood marshall's carnival and they attended the hilltop graduation which was again lovely as ever for parents and pregnant teenagers. last year they had a dad. and that was again just heartwarming. and also at the principal
