>> teach for america was not that recent. it came in when our former superintendent brought them in and i only remember that because i was not on the school board voting for it but i was on the foundation side. and there were many people on the board that wanted it funded so it was funded. it's not new to the last few years. ok, roll call please. >> if you're going to remove that first paragraph, i think you need a motion to amend.

>> i move to amend the resolution to take off the first paragraph and the two words beginning the sec paragraph, more specifically, so the summary will start with this resolution is for -- >> roll call please. [voting] >> is there a motion to move this? >> as amended. that's 125- 2 k 10 as amnded. >> is there a motion? >> there was a motion at the beginning. >> thank you. [voting]

>> point of information. even though we voted on the whole consent calendar by consensus, could we agree to remove that language from k 58 too? >> yes. >> ok. >> stop playing parliamentarian. >> we are in -- on item what? q? yeah, q. none tonight. item r, board members first read, i believe we did

everything already. item s, board members reoh -- board members' reports. let's start with the what is this one. augmented curriculum and program committee of may 14. ms. fewer. commissioner fewer: we voted on one action item, the authorization to grant or in the alternative petition for kip pmbing high school. i think they are working with us to

>> the next commel will be on june thrsh the next committee of the whole will be june 14 where we will have the budget. june 14? is that day right? >> you've got the date right but i believe that it is going to be not a committee of the whole but an augmented budget committee. >> oh, an augmented budget committee, not a committee of the whole. >> it's june 19. >> so i'm whereon on both counts. ok. >> commissioner mendoza. restate it. the budget committee. we were talking about the meeting. fine. we're good. >> can i ask a question about the committee of the whole thing first? the reports we heard at the committee of the whole meeting posted online?

the superintendent's reports? the superintendent's own report in particular was comprehensive and different than anything we've had before, much more, i think, accessible, coherent, so is it posted online and if it's not, could it be? thank you. >> report of the augmented rules policy and legislate i committee on may 16. commissioner wynns? >> how come the rest of the agenda doesn't apore here? the informational items are not listed in the meeting in the committee sum mear. >> it's on the next page. >> ok. thank you. ok. so we had two action items, legislative overview. we again had, i want to report first of all that we had, as i've been saying, we have these fabulous lobbyists who come down and do these things for us and

then this time, we had a lot of people in the audience, big delegation from coleman that was terrific, i was happy they were able to be here and hear this. we have the legislative overview, i hope you all got a copy of the positions the district has taken. that was made available to every board member and as well we have an issue with the posting so we want to ask that the -- actually we wanted to ask that it go to a committee of the whole? or board retreat. we want to refer to the next board retreat the issue of how we notice and define the standing committees of the board. we've had an issue with the notification requirements the -- and the dates required. those were the two action items. action items.

there's the update on the online board of education policy, so the series 1,000, if you note, remember we did the 9,000 series some painstakingly long detail, thank you to the commissioner who chaired the me last year and the 9,000 series actually is the translation or the online version of cfba facilitated version of the pf-120, the rules of how the board operates. but the ,000 are the general policy thrs the school district some of which are mandated rirptes, some are not and that is coming back to the rules committee with recommendations from the staff. we felt like i think i reported on this already at the last meeting but we felt like the descriptions, there's a lot of policies we didn't have that most school districts have,

yenized policies and yet we felt that the sort of boilerplate ones that cfba provided don't describe the practices we use in san francisco so we asked for staff enput on that. that all exists in a redline version and i ask you all to look at them and we're going to go ahead and do them in the committee the next toim and if nobody gives inputtering we'll do it without you. and then in addition there was board policy 51 -- 1111.4, the nondiscrimination policy, it needs to be updated. so this is not -- has not appeared on the board ayen da but has been reviewed by the rule committees. . we are asking that it be ayen diesed for the next board meeting in june. and for it to be included in the notification that we suspend the

rules and adopt it that night because it's been renewed in committee. the other thing is the assignment of all the other series to other committees and we have actually, we checked the minutes of the march rules meeting so we have recommendations to which committees they should go and we'd like you to refer them to those committees so the faciles, buildings and grounds, finance, budget, etc.it has been assigne. >> the last thing is we talked about the budget. we have the budget experts here. the policy implications, other

big things about the budget. really good. really grateful for our contract it advocates. >> the augmented buildings, grounds, and facilities. >> the staff report on page three proposed a lease of the property. this is the second time we have heard a presentation. they really spent a lot of time in the interim addressing our concerns. they have done a considerable amount of the region to the committee. there are still some questions about enrollment and hell it bill ritter reflected in the

neighborhood, -- and how it will be reflected in the neighborhood. they have come with a resolution to authorize staff to begin at least negotiations. that is the beginning of a process of discussion and back and forth. we had an amazing presentation on the proposed middle school campus. i know our facilities chief extended an invitation to all of the board members. when you do have an opportunity, it is stellar, the work that has been done. the incredible amount of time that has been invested. in hearing from the community, reflecting the views of design. it is a different way of building a new school. the former mayor was also

briefed separately. he was pleased with the work of the committee. it is really quite something. finally, the director of sustainability reported on bottled drinking water. he reported that we have contracts amounting to $50,000 and the goldwater in the district -- in the bottled water in the district. it is not an essential expense. one of the proposals is to replace these with filters. so that tap water, even though the water does not made -- does not need a filter in, some people feel more comfortable. we would like to start with our own office in eliminating our bottled water. we do have a filter system. to inspire other floreors and

encourage greater participation and then go out into the community. >> can i ask, we asked that the board office remove the water bottles. right when you walk in, there is a dispenser. you go a around the corner, there is our filter. we have asked to have the water bottle -- the one mike that removed. it is not necessary. i did not know if it is a president approval to have it removed. you said you were going to ask the president. let's get rid of it. >> i am glad i did not have to make that tough decision. [laughter] >> i am sorry, before we go on.

mentioned about taking positions on the tax measures. we have chosen to take a yes-yes position. we hope it is a strategic way of ensuring that one measure passes. the aftermath of neither measure was described as a nuclear winter. none of us want to experience it. there was nothing sort of amazing parliamentary set of maneuvers. if you have never been to a delegate assembly, he cannot quite appreciate the noem -- level of minutia. anybody who wants to know the ins and aleouts can ask the president. >> all other reports, the events? commissioners. >> thank you. i would like to mention that on
