home? these are the kids that we could send them in a taxi every day and it would be cheaper, right? >> those students have been attending that school for a number of years. the population has diminished over a number of years. in the debut of. -- in the bayview. severing that service would be possible. >> this does not address the special education. with respect to james lick, our middle school feeder pattern does include bret hart feeding into james lick. that feeder pattern would need to be supported. >> i understand, but presumably there would be more than six kids on the bus. my other question is, on page

23, what does other mean? where are we taking 658 kids after school not to an early elementary school, a middle school, or an after-school device? >> and there would be going to neighborhood stops around the city that are not identified with a day care. commissioner wynns: 10 we just drop them -- we just drop them off someplace, not a street corner? >> and that is correct. commissioner wynns: that is crazy. >> areas of the city were assigned specific schools. some stocks were put at neighborhood locations convenient for the parents. those stocks have remained -- those stops have remained

through the various changes in transportation. commissioner wynns: how many stops do we have? >> i do not know. >> just as one illustration of that, we are thinking on focusing on, if there are public housing developments that could serve a critical mass of students, then that would fall into "other," because it does not fall into any of these categories. that is something we want to be more thoughtful about. >> i did not forget about you. why don't you go up and make your comments? >> he was just making sure you were paying attention.

>> hi, i am the education organizer. i am glad you brought up the concern about the neighborhood stops. i want to focus through the lens of equity. the majority of students that will be impacted, even though i do not see a breakdown on the actual population, are going to be baby students. and some -- are going to be bayview students and some mission students. i know because i drive my trip -- i drive my daughter through the bay view and see the buses making pickups. i want to make sure we are having discussions about making sure that you are clear that e- mail does not work for those communities.

we need to get some people power out to the actual losses in making sure you are having a live conversation with families and not only having a conversation, but it is like a case management that needs to happen. it is a planning process with families to make sure they have a place. biking would not necessarily work carried just because it is a short distance, some bosses are taking children from the communities they live to the communities where they are going to school. it is not a simple solution and needs to be a case-by-case scenario. the second thing i wanted to say is that we thought about the impact of what will happen if the bosses are reduced and families choose not to leave the bay view? what if enrollment in the bayview surges as a result of

buses and transportation being cut? how will we address the impact of the school site? of those that may ultimately decide not to even battle going across the city to be in a diverse school. i want to make sure we have a backup plan. if we are going to go ahead and say these zones are going to exist, these zones need to be prepared for the fact that, after we talk about this with families, then they want to prioritize their enrollment in the bay view school. how are you going to address that? that is what my natural decision as a parent would be. that is what i know our parents in the bayview are going to choose. in no this is a discussion about transportation, i want to be clear that it is not a matter that parents will want to continue to go to school across the city. thank you.

>> i just wanted to, for clarification, we are no longer giving transportation to other after-school programs that are not sfusd sites. is that correct? >> when you say we are no longer, are you saying here or going forward? >> currently. >> we are. >> we are still? >> yes. we have reduced that. but there are still, to summarize that, we do have some of those stops and routes in place. >> the move this year was to cut back. the cutback was maintaining the gate -- the day care commitment. anticipating the reduction going forward.

>> which would those they carry? he lets the day care is would-be private day cares, jcc, booker t., those are the big ones. there are some others floating around. >> if you look on this list, had is one -- that is one line. it is the same bus route in the afternoon. most of those schools are losing service after this year. thank you. vice president norton: my question was about special ed students. i have heard a few reports and i think there is some confusion out there. as this is starting to seep

out, the people are upset that bus routes are changing. i have been contacted by a few families who are worried that their special ed children are losing transportation. i know that we are not proposing to do that. in some cases at the middle school level and some elementary, there are students riding a big yellow bus who have iep's. they did not get a door-to-door route and instead got a big yellow route. are we making sure that those who have transportation needs and iep's are not going to lose transportation because of this? i have gotten some queries from parents who are being told that their kids are losing transportation and they are worried because they have iep's and they think they would lose

it. if we can be very clear in how we are communicating this and making sure that the school sites are clear on what is being cut and what is not being cut. president yee: any other comments? seeing none, thank you for your presentation triet we look forward to having more discussion on this in the next few months. let's move on. i have been reminded by several people that we are past our time when we need to do something. can we extend the meeting to complete the business? general consent, let's move on. item n, 9 tonight. item o, moved and seconded. roll call please. commissioner fewer: yes. commissioner maufas: yes.

vice president norton: yes. commissioner murase: yes. president yee: yes. >> there are five aye's. president yee: item q, 122- 28sp2, and then of board policy 6109, students acceptable use of technology, is there a motion? >> second. president yee: this will go where? >> it goes to rules. president yee: it is going to go to the rules committee. item r, this would be in support of adopting a board policy

regarding immigrants and non- immigrant visa petitions for district employees. may i have a motion? refer to rules and budget committee. item s, any standing reports? that would be in the budget and business services committee. commissioner wynns, would you like to report on that? i know it is just an informational items. commissioner wynns: here i was -- here is what i remember, not having known i was supposed to do this. we did a discussion of the budget and the district budget process. the information most of which we have had here before. it is all available on the website. is that correct? >> and yes, some version of it is available.

since the budget committee meeting, we had the school finding summit. commissioner wynns: that was before the budget meeting. >> ok. i am sorry. the latest batch of information, i do not believe that is on the website. commissioner wynns: but it will be posted? >> we can post it -- how about this? we can post the information but if you recall, the material was not self-explanatory. commissioner wynns: i am not the chair of the committee, but somebody else can disagree with this. could you please riposte the budget calendar? there were changes. thank you. we discussed the administratively approved regular report, which is on the

budget committee agenda at every meeting, both of which are augmented and i do not know when the next meeting is. >> i believe it is april 14 -- i am sorry. the second wednesday in march. march 14. >> i wanted to announce my committee meetings. can i do that now? the budget of simon committee and the rules committee. i want to announce that the upcoming meeting of two of these committees. one is the ad hoc committee on student assignment, the first meeting of the year on march 12. the second is the rules policy and legislation committee which will meet on march 21. that is the regular meeting,

which is the third wednesday of the month. thank you. president yee: any other committee reports or announcements? we're going to start our next committee -- >> we are not having one last week -- next week because we had a quorum issue. we're going to have one in april. commissioner maufas: i wanted to remind everyone that the along -- the alliance of african- american educators meeting is wednesday at st. mary's cathedral starting at 6:00. students and parents will be assembling starting at 5:00. parents, get your honor roll

students there at 5:00. for us other folks, it starts at 6:00. thank you. over 1200 african american students on the honor roll. >> i just wanted to mention to our public that we will have a curriculum meeting on monday, march 5, at 5:30. is that right? is it 5:30? ok. we will be discussing the graduation requirements. president yee: any other announcements? i would like to say that last saturday, the district was involved with the pre-k through 3 alliance planning summit. [applause]

thank you. we have not gotten all of the final feedback yet, but the feedback we have gotten has been very positive with what people felt they got out of this and how we can move forward. it was attended by about 300 people and discussions of the small groups were very rich. the keynote speaker was great. superintendent garcia did a great job wrapping everything up. president kelly was facilitating the panel discussion and did a real great job. he was pretty entertaining. usually, when you have panelists, it is not easy. people were talking about -- mayor lee was there.

he was very excited about the whole notion and wanted to push us to have more than one or two courier. -- per year. i imagine there have been staff members talking about this around the city. hopefully, there will be a report that will come back to the full board in april. just to give a summary of what happened and so forth. it will be a little bit more detail. there will be a video presentation for 5 for 6 minutes. i asked the videographer to introduce a short one so we do not have to look at a one-hour peace. unless you want to. commissioner mendoza asked me to do two announcements for a

couple of activities coming up. one is the summer resource fair, which is sponsored by sf kids. sfusd, dcyf examiner, and it would be at the concourse from 10:00-3:00 this saturday, march 3. >> that is at brennan and 8th st. president yee: is it 8th or 7th? >> in between. the opening is at eighth street. president yee: has anybody seen the enrollments here? ok.

the asian pacific american heritage month is coming up. there are going to the community service awards on april 1. that is the deadline. if you are interested in that, go to www.apasf.org. ok. any other announcements? item t is the report of closed session actions. for close sections actions of february 28, 2012, we approved the the stipulated expulsion agreements of two high school students, w.t. and s.j. the board of education approved contracts for 16 principals, five assistant principals, 3

site managers, and to administrators. we approved an amendment to supplement paragraph 6bi, titled additional retirement in the school's contract to read, contributions should be made within 10 days -- this is the superintendent announcement of retirement. he will remain employed with the district. by a vote of 7 ayes, the board of education enacted pursuant to education code 44951 to authorize the superintendent not to notify a certain administrators and classified managers of the possible release and reassignment from their positions for the 2012- 2013 school year.

years old carried i know we have terrible voices, but i think it is worth singing for her birthday. ♪ happy birthday to you happy birthday dear esther happy birthday to you ♪ [applause] >> can i explain why she is only 13? her birthday is tomorrow, february 29. president yee: leap year girl there. i will change gears a little bit. in memory of suzanne sweeney, commissioner norton will speak to. vice president norton: not to return to the somber mood, but i like to close this meeting in

member of my friend and neighbor, who passed away last week at the age of 85. she worked for many years as a teacher and administration in the district. she served at john chin and francis scott key elementary. by the time i met her, she had been retired for many years but i enjoy hearing about what was happening -- but she enjoyed hearing about what was happening in the schools. she grew very frail and a bit eccentric but never lost her sharp intellect and fierce independence, her love of music and npr news and her pride in her sister's in the teachers' surety. she left no close family but will be missed by her many friends and neighbors. i would like to thank the many retired administrators who shared their recollections of working with her, including jenny, phil, caroline.

thank you. president yee: meeting adjourned.

>> good morning and welcome to this groundbreaking event for our new home at pac 12 studious. i am the president of pac 12 enterprises. we are thrilled to get this construction project rolling. pac 12 enterprises is a subsidiary of pac 12 conference and is home to aover 1200

employees. we will be launching one national television network, six regional television networks, and an additional network. as we have announced previously, we have distribution agreements with four of the most powerful cable companies in the cable industry. including comcast, time warner, cox, and brighthouse. if you live in the bay area, we will be part of your basic cable package with comcast. i would like to acknowledge and thank our new neighbor, the leader of comcast sportsnet. for his help in this process. when you live in a neighborhood, some neighbors swap eggs for making cookies. we will be swapping television cameras with ted's group.

as part of our programming mix, we will televised 850 live sporting events across our 12 campuses each year. that does not include hundreds more that we will eventually strain on our digital network. our event mix will include 34 football games, over 125 men's basketball games, over 40 women's basketball games, and another 650 olympic sports events which our conference dominates on an annual basis. in fact, the pac 12 has won several competitive championships. what is most gratifying of all, our dynamic student athletes in all sports will be given the increased national exposure they so richly deserved. speaking of athletes, we have quite a list of former pac 12

star athletes and coaches and i will introduce them in a moment. first, we would not be standing here today if it was not for the support of mayor ed lee. aside from the vision he has for bringing technology and entertainment companies to san francisco, it does not hurt that he has a law degree from cal, so he is a pac 12 guy. it is my pleasure to introduce mayor ed lee. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. this is exciting. the most exciting thing is that san francisco is doing all the right things to signal that we want to make sure people know though role of technology is our future. it is a big part of our present in terms of business, but the way that we do and think. so when gary and larry met with me a few months ago, we talked

about the need for speed. when you look at all these athletes here, they move in their own sports with a great indeliberate speed. i wanted to show them as much as to gary and larry we could move with speed as well to complement the kind of athleticism our stars are representing. san francisco has been very fortunate. we have had this past year the cal bears play at at&t part. we have had the higfight hunger bowl. we want to make sure that that content of these athletes gets distributed as widely as possible and that is why when i heard the interest of the pac 12 to locate their media center here, we jumped on it. with all the innovative we
