practices around the education services and supporting the achievement of african-american students were we attended the training that was on the restoring enforcement. we participated in to kind of broaden our prospective on how it pertains to engaging parents and also to look at exploring how we can support the work across the district. one of the experiences that stuck out was the exercise of looking at the parental engagement of the process is it token or is it real are participation. what we determined at the end of this exercise it depend upon on the attention whether the parents had a say in the design

whether they determined the consent or where they to participate and sign off. and one of the topics that really graded the meeting was the process itself. for a lot of parents showing up it's a new experience. maybe they don't understand the language but depending upon how it's structured. so another piece that we participated in was part of participating in the implementation of the design special education and their identifying their straefg goals across the department and the calculation of other parental organizations and community leaders to give feedback.

they're specific goal was creating authentic relationships to address student success. as part of that process the ideas that were generated from the committee meeting in march some of those questions are included with dr. and her colleagues. i'm going to highlight a couple of those. some of those that came out of that briefing the parents want the information particle around the information progress. for example, on information sheet on the i p project works it should be included in a package including friendly language. another input from the pact this those cross packet calculations

was the ideas of parents having information of the, i.e., process so they can understand the challenges and where is their input on the individual listed plan four their child. the pack has been in contact of how the packet can provided encounter participation from parents. the purpose it is to advise on the impact economic we provided

>> well my name is willie ratting cliff if anybody don't know me. anyway we'll come down to the final local act of what we've been trying to do for over a year. i met with the previously superintendent along with the present superintendent for over a year ago about this problem. that we have. and anytime a discriminatory practice you're supposed to deal with it. i'm not satisfied with what i

see. and we can always move forward after what you do tonight i'm hoping that someone o some of the things that others will bring up because i don't have the time. will bring up that's wrong in here. and one thing about it you're going to set aside money for a group of people that alreayou.

>> latino democrats i was going over the latest version and echoed the same feeling i'll

take it a little bit further. i'm especially concerned by this little clause here under sanctuary remedies. despite a concerted effort somehow we got back to faith effort that's a concerted effort. i went to law school i know how to word specify myself. i understand how the argument was we need a little bit of wiggle room. there's a lot of krarjts how the there who said they can't compete. here's the nature of business all right. if somebody says they can't do that there's at least 10 to 20 other contractors

willing to comply with whatever you come up with. they've got families to feed and it just so happens that their black and brown and asian working class white boys from the richmond district and they're good phone calls for good faith effort. yeah. i've heard this kind of talk. somehow just by changing good faith effort to a concerted effort you're under the assumes that my people can't understand the english language. perhaps i'm stuttering perhaps i have an accent well, i'm offended.

>> i'm again appreciate our effort in trying to make this come together. today, i just happenstancely looked at what it costs for a two-bedroom apartment in san francisco. $3,500 with a swim pool but on the lower range one through $200 in a san francisco apartment. i'm an electrician who can't afford inform live in a two-bedroom apartment here in san francisco. it's important that my children s are graduates of the unified school district. it's important that we push for opportunities for them to be employed at all levels. it's important that the

education their receiving is relevant in the jobs they'll be having it's important that this local higher be paved. i worry about it was at a higher rate. i want to make sure that people of color have an opportunity. i'm here to advocate for people to not only get on the job site people can go anywhere in the world if they have the skills. but it's important that whatever is passed that we insure that that pipeline is not only field but it's sustainable >> good evening my name is robert woods. i'm
