to hold us accountable. do not be afraid to express this. you are an extension of the board. i am glad you put this in. this is an honest feeling and a thing we need to do better. not only do parents need to push back, but they need to push back on the board. having said that, i want to really think the members for their hard work and volunteer work. remember, it is volunteer work, precious time taken away from your families. this commitment is a long commitment. thank you. best of luck. please convey to the other members our thanks. commissioner murase:-- commissioner maufas: in reading the report, i found it everything i had heard from me-- the pac in board meetings and

offline. i appreciate that you were able to memorialize it in a report to us. it is an interesting but concise summary of the year. if anybody wanted to understand the pac and get the level of how important you are to us, i think they could see it in this one report. it is incredible. i just do not think the public understands the commitment to the volunteering and being able to be the buffer of some of that heat that i witnessed at those meetings, the community conversations. i am really in off of the graciousness of pac members in not engaging in the anger, but really taking that information in and of passing it on to the board. i am grateful for that. that really does speak to the

years of buildup and trial and error and how you have been able to find your footing and move well within the district. i want to thank you all for that. i also want to talk about the bit of push back that happened. i think it is great. i also felt empowered enough to push back on the push back and not feel we are anythat i am gr. i do not ever hesitate to speak about how i feel and have a dialogue that you are still a conduit of information to hundreds of parents, and i witnessed that when i went to the community conversations are was able to attend superior -- to attend.

i wish they could be there for the offering of ideas, because other districts do not do it like this. i want to encourage pac as you partner with people, that they may not be as reflective of some kmer graphics. how do we go to the other organizations that offer a heroine's -- that offer parents , but have parents embedded in these bodies, and if we could see part 0 -- be part of the

conversation. i think we need to be part of those conversations. i would be happy to make sure you have an adverse voice and -- of the verse of voice. -- n.y. a diverse voice. i want to be a helping hand. i cannot tell you how much i appreciate your volunteering. you have some freedom. news that empty space for your world. congratulations. you have done an amazing job. >> thank you. did you want to say something?

>> ditto. it was not just about the student enrollment that i appreciated. i started feeling the impact years ago when we started looking for a new superintendent and their involvement in terms of reaching out to the community and getting community engagement going in terms of what we want out of the superintendent was used to mae in terms of how we were going to vote. for me, it is going way back and seeing what i have seen over the years, and it is not about to necessarily taking every m. hudson we get from everybody --

every input we get from everybody. it is taking and seeing what we need to change, and when you take the issue of student enrollment, if you have to ask each one of us what we thought, all of us would have said something different, so we are constantly pushing back each other. it is part of the process of coming up with what we are trying to be happy with. did it have an impact? we have to remember we were going to pass the whole thing two years ago.

i felt like louis -- like we listened to some elements, and i agree with some and not with others, and i think that is how we should move forward, to have an honest dialogue to make those tough decisions, because we make a decision, we are going to have some people havppy and some people not have the. -- not happy. i feel good about where we are. our community engagement policy

we are trying to promote, if it was not for pac and other parent organizations keeping an eye on it, there is always a fear that it is another policy that is going sit on the shelves, and you have not allowed to die. -- allowed its. i want to pack your back, and you should pack your own attack -- pat your own back. >> i do not think we are not going to see you anymore, vico's here is a history. sitting on this side of uthe sense is a good thing to do. i expect to see you around at many of the events. i want you to know how i use

pac and the way i take your reports and communications, the clothes we have a lot of communications on a variety of different set of -- because we have a lot of communications on a variety of different fronts, so i appreciate that you share a lot of the personal stories and commitments families have in san francisco unified, and you help me balance all but i am hearing to get to the places of making decisions around policy, so i your appreciate all the work pac does do, and i appreciate that you have the ability to put forward the information, and your candor is great, so thank you for that . i for that pac will continue to treat us about way and will

always be honest, and that is what we expect from you, so thank you for all your work. we will see you around campus. >> thank you. i will pass your appreciation on. we know we cannot make everyone happy, and getting the information is not a guarantee. it is part of the process. i am sure they will keep pushing back. >> do not be discouraged. >> the next item is a public comment on a consent items. i want to announce in accordance

water heater in the tab for of lockerbie in -- or bottled water be available. they do not have plumbing for it, so that is the issue. they have water coolers, but i have a question i wanted to ask about this, and it has more to do with something that is a little out zero left-field near a good -- left field. the issue of of the washing hands is related to a healthy gain the issue of washing hands is related to healthy eating, but it has gone to the wayside.
