this is superintendent's proposals. resolution authorizing a change of quick claim deeds with the city and county of san francisco. we do allow five minutes for public testimony under this item. i see none tonight. >> madame chair, for resolution 1012 we were requesting that the board waived the first meeting and enact this item tonight. >> i did not look at the white page that actually said that. i thought it was just a suggestion. all right.

may we have a motion and a second on suspension of the rules to share this item? commissioner maufas: yes. vice-president mendoza: yes. commissioner wynns: aye. president kim: yes. may we have a motion and a second for formal introduction? >> second. president kim: thank you. now they reading of the resolution. >> of the city and county of san francisco hold leader -- a legal titles to the properties including the land and school facilities including the school properties that require dedication for school purposes. the common names and street addresses are attached to your resolution.

the san francisco unified school district is the beneficial owner of the school property. the city is merely a passive trusty with an ability to deliver on the deed. the school district has requested that the city deliver on the school property to the school district and where so long as the city continues to hold legal title to the school property, the ability to hold the property to secure financing for capital projects may be limited. they are identified by certain title issues on certain properties listed at identified in this resolution. the school district in 1984 gave the key to the city which held the following facilities, the richmond police station, the tarovol police station and the

former juvenile hall. this is on file with the state court of the board of supervisors is declared to be part of this motion. this contains a revision. interest in the school's favor that could impair the school's ability to use such property for securement of capital for financial projects. when the city's director of project and the city manager have hyde -- agreed on a quick lead -- deed, the school prayer -- when the agreement that the property is of limited value to the school and the city and the school district, it is appropriate to a change of the deeds for the property interests. be it resolved that the

superintendent is authorized to execute for the city property. be it resolved that the superintendent is directed to accept a quick deed from the city. the superintendent is hereby authorized to take any and all actions that the general counsel may be necessary in order to effectuate the purpose of this resolution. >> thank you. comments? vice-president mendoza: thank you. i just wanted to acknowledge her to get this done. this has been long overdue. it is nice to have the property in our name now. and really recognizing or

acknowledging what belongs to us. i really want to commend you for your efforts and pushing forward on this and working closely with amy brown's office. commissioner wynns: i have a couple of questions about this. what's the cultural college center? is that the park? i would love to know how that became a college center. that used to be eight children's center. my other question is more about our properties. i am not clear about how we got them. the one i have a little bit of concern about this 150 otis.

i think that is the bill -- the building that we were getting revenue from for a while. do you know about this? >> to the best of my knowledge, the five properties that we are actually quick deeding to the city, if we ever knew -- owned them, it was a long time ago. if those properties were ever used for anything other than the public use, it would revert back to us. it has made it difficult for them to move forward on financing. the one at the otis site is scheduled to be a veterans' homeless shelter. all of those sites have a long

and hopefully a good potential history as a police station, a fire station, and hopefully will be good moving forward. >> outside of this process, can you investigate this issue of some building that we were holding and the city was leasing back from us at some time in the last 10 years? >> that property will eventually -- there are some cop's involved. hopefully, that property will revert back to us. hopefully, they will work out some of the details.

>> i have one other question. this past weekend, the specific region of the school board association, we have a presentation on the school land trust -- it is a very interesting subject. the land that that was set aside by the federal government for schools, in exchange for these lands that schools were supposed to get revenue from, that is the reason that states are not allowed to tax federal land. that was the trade-off. all of the eastern states have sold off all of their land. there are no school trust in eastern states.

we have an ability to identify 55,000 acres of land in california that we could put in the trust and get revenue to fund the schools in california. a person who is an expert on this says that it includes a downtown building in san francisco, a building that is available to the land trust. we need to be able to work with the state. this is very interest. i would wonder bank any of these properties were part of this at that time. >> it will take some historical digging, but we will find out. commissioner yee: in regards to the site for this, do we have

any other property in simular situation with another entity? >> to our knowledge, every other piece of property are under the district's name. president kim: roll-call. commissioner maufas: yes. vice-president mendoza: yes. commissioner wynns: yes. commissioner yee: aye. president kim: yes. thank you. should we now move on to item r. board member proposals, which there are none.

we are now at proposals and announcements. >> if you notice a milk only looking gentlemen in the audience, i did want to introduce the superintendent. he was not sure the chief technology officer had been introduced to the board. i want to do that with apologies for having this a little bit later. you have seen his qualifications. he has been with the district for two months or so. >> how have your first eight weeks been?

>> i have been learning a lot and having a lot of fun. i look forward to working here. >> this is from the status lost county office of education and -- stanislaus county office of education where he worked for six years. i would like to offer my thanks and congratulations to president kim. it has been such a great experience to work with you. as you know, all of us are really happy about the success you had on election day and look forward to working with you in the future. >> my pleasure. thank you.

president kim: now we move onto a board member reports. we have a report from our adhoc committee. commissioner maufas: as i understood, the reason why our newest addition to the staff was here was to hear about mark components of this report for school moves. that is not my phone. this item has been carried forward to the next meeting. it was a combination of our labour partners and family members in regards to the implementation of the school loans. to rule out what is happening on the time spent. there needs to be more coordination between school

sites and which staff is using it. ok. carryforward. i will let them know that they can come forward and speak again. because there are so many questions about what is happening with the budget crisis and how it affects our staff and the concerns that families bring forward and staff members bring forward, it allows an opportunity to discuss publicly with as much transparency as legally can be allowed, oftentimes we are in negotiations with the labor partners, what we can speak on is that the committee has an opportunity to speak about issues in as much capacity as

weekend and to hear from the public on many issues. as issues and then flow through the district and that relationship with personnel and labor often generates topics for a meeting. the meeting as every other month instead of every month. if we need to have a conversation on the labour matter, we try to meet more frequently. the vice president of the united educators of san francisco, they come to an agreement with our school district leadership. that will work out for our professionals. we are very happy about that. a for discussion was the discussion -- and finding funding just to restore a little bit. we are in discussions between a labor partner and the district

and what we have accessible to us in terms of money. are we able to use it to restore from what is a 14% cut for 2010. that is the security guards. we all had to accept a certain cut. as it turned out for them, it equaled about 14%. we are still in discussion. that item will carry forward to the next meeting. discussion of the t10 work schedule. scie brought forward a concern. this is the perfect opportunity to bring forward a concern regarding that the school had made cuts to its staff regarding the budget plans. labor had some concerns about

certain personnel doing the job of other personnel. under our contracts, that is not permitted. that was brought forward to school staff. they investigated it. there was something in the area that was not clear. in that conversation were our parent volunteers. when do they stop becoming volunteers and start supplanting some of the work that was previously done by an employee that is the logger budgeted at the school site? there was a clear message from our labour director ruiz. because we have these cuts, and to be mindful that parent volunteers are much appreciated. community volunteers are appreciated. the level of their volunteerism, there is a line.

sometimes it is blurry. we have to make sure that they and the school staff understands that. the information was brought forward and addressed and publicly been noted the results of that. the memo went out to all schools about that. president kim: i am going to take the liberty to take our city and school district reports. they are both on student assignment. most of the action items have already been reported. i know that there are updates that each of the meetings. the next is the service committee. vice-president mendoza. vice-president mendoza: we are going to be going forward in november, 2011. that has been an ongoing

discussion to finalize. we would love to support going out in november for the alumnus. -- alumnists. we talked more about the property development on teacher housing and brought up the child development facility on k street. there were some proposals brought forward by affordable housing developers. we also have an update on the demographic for directions. i was really pleased with the report. it indicated that we were actually going to have a very large increase over the next few years. that is a very different report than what we have gotten over the last several years about the

increases in enrollment. there was a lot of affordable housing that would include the ability for many of our families to stay in san francisco. that was a discussion in november. >> could you provide us with whatever information was presented about the child-care issue up here? i would like to hear more. i was not able to come to the meeting about the paige street issue. vice-president mendoza: if i could take two seconds to address that briefly. we have been hearing quite a bit from the child care community about wanting to open the facility. supervisor mirkarimi and michelle rutherford from hsa

came to provide support for the school district. we had bryant from our office who was born to make a first pass about whether or not we need space. that is not necessarily preschool. then how the ties to the current plan we are doing with regards to student assignment. they are going to provide us with some templates on an rfp and what we should look at if we were to have somebody from outside the school district to come in to look at future challenges. we are not interested in putting in dollars that we do not have

into opening a new facility. >> before it is over, we will get some sort of feasibility discussion. >> we are doing preliminary conversations on what this would look like if we move forward. >> i want to go deeper into what commissioner mendoza just said and that was not part of what was said at the other meeting. it was somewhere else that you have the discussion. i want to be clear about that. president kim: the next report is from commissioner yee. commissioner yee: we overheard the action item results. one of the items as being the overview of special education and financial issues. i am going to make this quick.

the result of that discussion was what was presented actually raised more questions than answers -- or it raised a lot of questions. there was an agreement for the committee to take this issue up again in a few months so that we could further explore in more detail some of the issues in regards to the budget around special-education.

conclusion. we are anticipating the bigger deficit and the problem. the third item was the rebuke of the resolutions that we will do monthly. i think -- >> thank you.

>> most of the meeting was discussing the new transportation policy that we adopted. i also want to say that we got an update from the advisory council. this was about a community engagement process that they are in the middle of designing or developing which will include different models than they have used for all of the other engagements. this is more targeted, this is addressed with discussion in the middle school feeder patterns. you should expect that a

schedule of community events will be forthcoming in the beginning of january, may be in san jury in march -- in february and march. ha there will be a proposal in april. there will be some discussion about how there is meaningful opportunities for corporate committees to investigate -- appropriate communities to investigate. there was some discussion, a perception out there that sort

of deals are being cut or individual communities will have a decision made just about middle school pathways for them outside of the open process. we have to be careful that this does not happen. we appreciate the staff and other communities out there participating in the discussion but it must be clear that the plan will -- and no one is authorized to make an agreement with an individual school or community.

>> at this time we will recess the regular meeting. the >> haniya coming back to our regular meeting, the report of our closed session action items. from the september 9th, 2010 closed session, the board approved the contract of one assistant principal. the board approved at the stipulated expulsion agreement for one high school student. the board approved the expulsion of one high school student can

tell -- and one high school student. the next item is on the acceptance of gifts. on the board of the board of education, we wish all of our staff, the staff, -- families, and students, and holidays -- happy holidays. >> i wanted to make a brief announcement that i think all of the board members received an invitation from the united methodist church which annually does a day of remembrance for the students and staff that have died
