we have a rule that you have to sign up to speak. >> i just want to add a couple comments. >> i want to stick to the rules. >> i just drove five hours to get here in time. you have to give me one minute. it is regarding, and you cut out the one bus stop that has a program that is open to all children. it does not accept kids in the after-school program unless they go to that school. you cut out the boys' and girls' clubs. there are 10 parents to use that bus. you eliminated just that one. i have called every other one and they do not accept them. i do not understand why you cut

the one stop that is open to everybody. >> can you -- you got it? >> i feel like i'm doing this backwards because i want to say greetings to the new school year. we look forward to another year of working together. i want to piggyback on what the superintendent said. we have a tentative agreement. the final voting day is monday, august 20. i am hopeful so that we can move on with it. i want to add a couple of

details. we are very pleased that the furlough days do not directly affect kids except for that last half-day. members will be taking in one- and-a-half furlough days. the one that does not affect children is giving up a professional development today. i am sure that we all look forward to the day when furlough days are a thing of the past and we do not even have that in our vocabulary. of course, the other piece is proposition 30. we have are people starting to work on that. we know what a mess we will be in. this is not a spending problem. this is a revenue problem and we have to solve it. i hope he can work together.

>> itek k. -- item k. i would like to announce a proposal for the san francisco unified school district, the local 261, a public hearing on this proposal will be held on a special meeting of the board of education on august 21, 2012. and the discussion of other issues tonight? there are not any tonight. consent calendar resolutions removed the previous meetings for a second read in an action to.

role call. ms hwang? >> here. oh, yes, sorry. >> mr. -- >> yes. >> aye, except for items k2, 4 22, 23, 24, 25 and 30 because they are retroactive. >> thank you. dr. murase? ms norton? ms wynns? >> item -- consent calendar

resolution for immediate action. there was one severed by a commissioner ross said. >> i want clarification to know if this is the same classification of security guards we have been talking about in the context of budget negotiations. >> the same classification, this is an outside vendor that we use for the same classification. they are not police officers. but they are not district employees. last year, he wants me to explain what we did? last year upon the request was

that we offered through the high schools and middle schools. that if the security at the school chose to offer to doo-doo overtime to supervise those games, we would offer it to them first and we would reduce this contract by the money that went to those personnel. there is a process in place. we communicated that to the security guards and they signed up with their assistant principal and then it was sent into the commissioner of athletics. and i just spoke to susan solomon and she agreed to do the same process again this year and i will contact commissioner collins myself.

>> yes. >> aye. >> aye. >> that's six ayes. >> item q, none tonight. item r, for establishing a common preparation and professional development time for all schools. is there a motion? is there a second? this will be referred to the curriculum committee and the

budget committee. thank you. board members report. any reports? the second one would be board as delegates. the national school board association, any reports? good. all other reports by board members. any of the reports? commissioner murase: i wanted to report on what an amazing job the new superintendent did at the administrator's institute. it was first-class all the way. i want to thank everyone who participated. i was pleased to see that common

sense media was on the agenda. we have tried to start a working relationship with them. i want to thank them for their presentation and the exercise that followed. it was meaningful and impacts of. and i wanted to congratulate you night for students, holding workshops that a back-to-school event held at the community center over the weekend. there were so many families, so many kids getting free back pats. all of the organizations that supported that. just wanted to congratulate them. president yee: i also want to acknowledge, we were invited by the democratic club to give a presentation to them.

in regards to what we are doing around issues of lgbtq. it was a great presentation by staff, many of our staff numbers are involved in helping with that issue. i learned a lot myself on being there, realizing that we have been addressing this issue for over two bang decades and i wanted to say commissioner fewer when she brought up again to strengthen our efforts in this arena and the data that we had that we brought there was remarkable in terms of the ability to collect and understand and give us better guidance of what we need to do.

thank you to the superintendent and several other people. >> i would just add a little bit to that that i think that we have made great gains in the anti-harassment of our youth. one of the things i want to commend staff on is that we had our first ever family dinner, a standing-room-only, even though it was freed. we did not expect it was going to be such a huge success. when you will need a bigger venue, we will need more people to donate money for this event,

since isn't -- since it is not allocated in our budget. it is such a nice feeling. i thought it was absolutely fabulous and wanted to come and staff for doing that and also adding to our health curriculum , diversity and gender identity. i think that will be huge. >> also for the listening audience, you could actually go on our website and get lesson plans and so forth, the things that we do to promote the safety of our youth. it is another example of how proud we should be of the school district. we seem to be taking the lead in the nation on this. the center for disease control works with us and understands we

are the model in a lot of school districts in promoting this. i think we should applaud our staff for this. [applause] e c''stg9y#+ ++ie

to write this information last night from the meeting. if you would like to have more cutting edge information, please follow me on twitter. sfusd_supe. you'll correct -- debt great information. >> hot off the presses. i learn stuff all the time. >> i also wanted to add that every year, i sponsor at the california school boards association in conjunction with the gay-straight alliance, a workshop for other some members how they can have leadership and also all about the education act. i think we are the model for the nation. president yee: commissioner morosity. -- murase. commissioner murase: there will be meeting at 6:00 p.m. the agenda will go up in a couple of days. there will be a hearing on a local hires as a policy.

i invite my colleagues to be there. i am not sure whether this was in the calendar, but i wanted to congratulate the 91% of teachers who were recalled from layoffs. i think it is a tremendous achievement. i want to sink -- thank the human-resources department. not knowing whether they were going to be hired. i want to thank the superintendent in being able to recall 96%. >> thank you very much. let's move on to item t. >> i want to ask, and it turns out, it is shocking to me but i have to bang appointments to make to the public education

fund committee, which is unexpected. one of my appointees is actually turned out so i was expecting to have to do that but by other appointee told me she has to resign from the committee because of the time constraints. i was wondering if i could be provided with a list of all of the appointees on the committee and who appointed them and where they are in their terms so i could be able to make a judgment about what communities we should get representation for. if i could have talked with that i would appreciate it. president yee: item t, report of a closed session action. >> we are supposed to recess right now.

president yee: my mistake. at this point, unless you want to come back, we are going to recess for closed session and we will come back after closed session and do a readout of the closed session to finish up the evening. although, you know something, can i take a second? we are going to change a little bit of the order right now. we have, generally at the end of the meeting we have adjournment and sometimes we will take that

opportunity to have that in memory of somebody. rather than wait for us to come back when nobody is here, we thought we would change the order so that at least people could hear, whoever is watching tv or listening to the radio could hear this. i'm going to turn this over to vice president norton. vice president norton: i am going to read the acknowledgment for and milton who passed away on august 9 at the age of 52 after a fight with brain cancer. he was the son of the late milton marks who was involved in politics. his father was a judge and state senator and his mother served on a commission. his career was dedicated to public service organizations and he served on the urban creek

council and he was first elected to city college in 2000 and he was reelected in 2004 and two thousand eight where he received the most votes ever in any election. he will always be remembered as a person devoted to his sense of justice. while he was part of a group set resign from his fraternity, he was passion about issues about informant and access to health care and education. he was loving and playful and the father to three boys. he had a special gift of being a friend to so many and a protector of those with less of a voice. he is survived by his loving and wife and his three young boys, nathan, will, and theo.

he will be missed. commissioner wynns: we also want to remember today mary ramirez, an employee of the school district sure yet she started in 1974 and retired in 1977. -- 1997. she worked with many superintendents. for any of you that were around then, she was the person who greeted you when you came into the office. then she went to labor relations. she was well known in the district and had many friends. she will be missed by many, especially her friends in labor relations and human resources.

president yee: thank you very much. i think we are going to miss these individuals. all of us knew him. we know what he gave to the community and we will miss him. right now i want to recess our meeting. thank you very much. you are more than welcome to come back after the closed session.
