for another bid or just finish the job and go and in this particular case and in those circumstances we chose to go. the only down side risky suppose is somebody could say, we did not let that contract out for another bid, but we try very hard to work with within the norms of sort of accepted practice throughout the state and occasionally as we near the end of the summer, to tidy things up and to open schools, we push things to the limit and sometimes we exceed them. >> and okay. thank you. >> i appreciate that. but, i still want to raise a question, should we be talking about a different way, and not in these cases to describe more accurately, when we expand our contract, >> we can certainly do that. >> thank you. >> okay, thank you. >> any other questions or comments on these items?

and executive director of the san francisco school of volunteers and the director of government relations for the san francisco unified school district in the 90s. she was one of the first advocates for and facilitators for s use of technology in san francisco and san jose and became a successful business woman running a retail business and will be remembered as a fierce advocate for woman's rights and a leader of the san francisco chapter of the national woman's political caucus and however, the thing that all who knew her will remember most about her is her passion for her family and friends. she was married for 49 years, to jay, b hunt and had two children, david and deborah and two grand sons who i had the pleasure of meeting. if you visit the website and built and maintained by her daughter you will be amazed by the depth and the friends that they share for the decades, she was born in connecticut and earned degrees. and she was the person most

responsible for turning the san francisco school volunteers from a small, volunteer organization, into that recruited the volunteers into a strong and viable non-profit organization that remains in the merger with the san francisco education fund. and an essential component of the community partnership infrastructure. the 1980s and 90s were a period of significant expansion of the professionalism of many of the rolls in the education community, and the lobbyist for the school district and significantly raised the political profile of the san francisco unified school district. i had the opportunity to work with her, both as a parent activist and as a school board member. the first four years that i served on the board i worked with her, fighting the annual budget battles and traveling to sacramento and walk the halls of the state capitol and advocate for our students in district's interest she was a great partner and incredibly effective lobbyist and many in

sacramento remember her as one of the best. we often traveled together and sharing money by sharing hotel rooms and the first meeting of the schools that i ever attended we were snowed in at the plaza hotel for several days this was the first year of the clinton administration and it was an amazing conference and we had a lot of fun, during an event, and sometimes referred to as a once in a century blizzard. after living in sacramento for many years, she had relocated to sacramento and although, the board of education and i personally want to express my sorrow to the hunt family, and i also want to say just for a minute, about the san francisco called zspace which is a theater in the mission, for those of you who have lived in san francisco a long time, it is used to be part of project arto on 17 and this harrison. and marsha was a member of the board of the zshape and also,

of a wonderful performing troop there called word for word that performs plays which are the reading word for word of short stories. and i have actually been to two word for word performances and the most recent one was in honor of marsha and where her husband, jay, bought out the house and all of her friends came there and saw a wonderful play called infriendship and so, i just want to honor marsha as someone who made a huge difference in our school district and will be remembered and the last thing that i want to say about her and if you ever saw her, and you can see her on the website she was a very striking, strong, looking person. and i have to say that i she would like to be remembered as really a great broad. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner wynns. >> okay, at this time, we are going to recess, this meeting, and go into closed session, so

i would ask the public to clear the room.
