school and they needed somebody >> i have a kindergarten at to speak spanish they make me do alamo his name is coal. a flier in spanish. heel say i know this information i went to - i went to also right because my teacher taught me and that's how fundamental teachers now i work at sarah and also - are. we have great taefrndz. i was stunned when we came to the public school community to school and requires somebody who speaks spanish and i did i stay there for one year but now i see the compassion they have. so i was thinking about this they laid me off because i today how i'm fired up in the didn't take the test. non-continuity in the alamo. actually 6 months i'm going to there are tons have teachers in leave it with you. the community that point to be there and we clearly have a and by a bunch of them you can

t want to see. my job is neat. be. i was reading on your hot topic i've been send sent to school because i speak spanish. i notice this collaborative i don't know the criteria you effort is important and i think nobody says that better than make me not take the test. well, i the one who state the you're. telephones we were giving you if you had a teacher it doesn't free services. show up if you had a classroom we were giving you free services that in one week had 3 teachers and i was told that in 2009 when rotating in and out and you have a teacher who needs to show up you started putting the translation requirement on scalds you spent $16,000. for meetings. so if you make - your making she doesn't set teacher painter rules to spend more money and more money and also it's unfair conferences and that's unacceptable. that i get the bottom of the

one of the things you i'm excited about is we're spending seniority because there's folks all this money the number one who had the same description but they speak spanish they hired success on that is going to be them last year. your teacher's and you have to that's not fair. and my parents have different have a presence in the classroom issues like sarah needs to have please help us get a credential a person who speaks spanish and 80 percent of the school needs teacher in that classroom sparn and they need to - when >> i have steven two minutes. you take that support from them then you >> yes steve united public workers for action. i've come to other meetings about the harassment and bullying. apparently this rush stamped board is not concerned about it. i hear the same stories. the fact of the matter is we had a press conference and the da is

going to be investigating martin luther king school and obstructing justice after a child was bullied. i think there's a criminal cover up going on in this district apparently los angeles is not laying off teachers and pure professionals. will who do you represent. the example is your million dollars is going to the common core and you're about those pushing commercialization and

you're not about protecting the teachers and the students. and the rubber board your representing. it's the poor black and latino community that's being attacked here. so it's time for really action by the community by labor it's union burst why are not you standing up for the poor the black students you have a corporate agenda that's what's driving you >> all right. i have a lot of cards from u s f go members. what i'd like to do i'm going to read off all the cards i have.

this is on the topic of layoff. i'd like to ask the members if we can group you into 25 minutes total we will not time i have the discretion of timing but i'll give you 25 minutes total so when the timer goes off we will continue with our meeting. i have

(calling names) i think i have the same name. (calling names). so when president kelly approaches the mike please start timing thank you. >> good evening commissioner and members of the board and students delegates and ladies and gentlemen. the school district has $50 million that it does not anticipate getting this year. to resend every single lay off

would take $1.7 million that would leave about $35 million. but let's not just talk about the money you have in our pocket right now. let's talk about what the governor realized to you today. the governor said there's going to be a weighed student formula and there's a block grant. that grant is going to be roughly $57 million next year top of everything you got this year. that's pretty comfortable >> top of that he's putting a billion dollars into common core and you'll get about 8 and a half million of that so you

won't have to spend a penny. in a few minutes you're going to vote to raise the developers fees you're going to charge $0.67 per square foot. so you've got money. you have absolutely got money. we heard the superintendent tells us tonight those are promises except the money you've got in your pocket. we've heard board members tell you we're not out of the woods yet. i told people outside you're going to say that you're going to say we'll wait until we get the mayor realized then you're going to say to us let's wait

until we actually get the budget and what is the human effect of that waiting you're leaving people suspendedhoon't know oure got the money in your pocket now. wonderful got $50 million in our pocket now i'm talking about next year. you could end of the furlough days now. by not doing it you save a little bit of money and you're going to lose it next year and you create a situation where people come into this district with hate and anger and distrust. why she we have given you m

if this is the way we're going to be treated. the people behind me are going to talk about some of the human elements but you need to reach into our pocket you've got $50 million in there. how could you start spending more money you've got it better spend it wisely or you will reap what you sow thank you. (clapping). >> my name is carolyn i'm a special he had professional i'm the vice president of the perpetrated professionals. i'm here tonight to ask you the encourage to stop par a lay offs. the 8 family liaison do the

important work of keeping our families engaged in our schools in support of our students the 11 nutritionist make sure that our student and families have access for good food and our 16 classroom aids do the great work of assisting in our classrooms across the school district. we should be hiring for par as two weeks ago i went to an incredible event celebrating an african-american group. it was the first in this district now your set to layoff any african-american veterans some with over 20 years of experience in the district the same work to make sure the african-american students get

the services they deserve. don't you see how bad that looks to celebrate one week in front of the public and then shows the door the next week. i ask you to resend the lay offs. now you're going to hear from the par as who are being laid off so, please look them in the eyes >> hi i'm a proud parents. i want to give a shout out to my daughter middle school and come back elementary school. i vote for prop a and i convince my sxefbal.

we inform schools we family liaisons are the ones listening to the family liaisons and we often take the brunt of the frustration of the families so we feel the same frustration. i'd like to do a commercial announcement we should change our name. so i looked at the data and we have 99 years of culminated doing work and that's all the special development the district has given us and the parents has given to us. we're on a daily basis we

translate the educational terms into law man's terms. and our strengthens are often misunderstood and our families veh.d. in child those two toget
