people. thank you very much. >> my name is randolph james. good evening to you all. when you came in and saluted the flag and said the pledge of allegiance, you said at the end, justice for all. the last time i was here, i mentioned the bylaws and i read a little bit further when you said that district goals, one of them is make it in social justice a reality. another one of them was keeping your promise to the students and their families. if you saw a child, one of your children, drowning in water over their head, would you save them? we're asking you, this board,

all of you members taking into consideration we have people, kids, families out there in the bayview hunters point area, martin luther king and other schools that are drowning because there is nobody coming by to say the incident that is happening at martin luther king school, you didn't address it. you didn't go see about it. that is a child that drowned. the system let that child down. i'm asking you as a concerned citizen, would you start focusing on not only the martin luther king school, but that is the troubled spot of the bayview hunters point area, but all schools in general puts aside your title or whatever you do and start thinking about it. if it was your child, would you save them from drowning? i believe you would. thank you. >> my name is diana. my child was bullied and jumped

at king. i'm here as promise that i said that i will be back if the administration was not removed or -- so i'm here today. you guys showed me nothing. nothing at all. so i'm very disappointed. it is -- that school is just -- the administration is not handling stuff properly. i have the letter from the d.a.'s office about my daughter. nothing is being done that the administration don't -- the principals or the administration, it is nothing is being done. good teachers relating to these kids and everything, how could the administration harass the student's parents and staff and continue to neglect our kids and their education. but you guys sit up here and you don't do anything because your kids do not go to that district in that school. so me as a parent, i'm a two-pointer household, but at

the same time, i'm busting my chops every day getting up going to work trying to show my daughter better to go get a good education for college. i pay my taxes so why we can't get an equal education at king. why do we have to keep going to the administration. you guys just sitting on your tails. i'm sick of it. i'm going to go higher. >> good evening, everyone. good evening, everyone. my name is nancy. you have implemented restorative practices and injustices in our schools but where is the justice for our children? the children of the bayview, dr. martin luther king jr. academic middle school? closing the achievement gap is

the ultimate goal. but until those higher up can put their grudges and their personal agendas aside, we will never accomplish that gol. -- goal. students, staff, teachers, the parents have come before you many times. but your response to them was to keep the administration in place. to remain there to continue to bully, harass, our community. to continue neglecting our children and their education. i'm closing the book now. this chapter of my life at dr. martin luther king jr. academic middle school. i thank you for listening and i hope that you guys will do -- make a change and help our

school that is in so much need for your help. thank you. >> are you ryan, by any chance? >> yes, yes, i am. sorry i'm late. i guess i'm changing the subject a bit here. my name is ryan yip. i'm representing an organization called big jim foundation and we're putting on a free contest called lemonade alley. it is to teach k-12 kids business lit r.t.a. rassy and entrepreneurship through a contact with selling lemonade for charity. what they do is basically develop a recipe for let me nate nade or a lemonade product and

develop a business and marketing plan for that lemonade and construct a lemonade stand, which will be constructed at the i.n.g. on post and kerney on july 7. this contest is being underwritten by i.n.g. direct and capital one bank. at the conference in san francisco and seven contests across the country. the winning team from this contest and all the other contests will be given a six-day, five-night all expenses paid trip to hawaii to attend a summer camp where they will learn more about starting a business as well as the culture for hawaii and participate in other activitytivities related to that. so the original deadline for

this contest was june 14, which is in two days and i know it is a little late, so i've been talking to the capital one bank people to try to extend it for one week so we can have participation from as many kids as possible kmp-12. we're all-inclusive, low income, special needs. it is a free contest. everyone just go online to enter. and we're asking the board for any help and advice in getting the word out to kids and i'll be happy to entertain any questions. >> ok. thank you. >> are you still speaking? ok. thank you. ok. gotcha.

item k. the budget committee reports appointments to advisory committees by board members. any tonight? item l. special order of business. >> excuse me -- just a real brief question. how do we get responses to what we ask? >> that's ok. usually when people -- what i'm doing now is just telling audience and just in case you don't know that in that part of the meeting where the public gives test ceremony not where -- testimony is not where we have dialogue. there is in many ways, there is many different ways where the public can interact with the school board members.

this is one of them. we're just giving information. another way is to see if you could set up a meeting with one of the school board members -- several or people do that. or staff members. so that's where you could have dialogue. >> may i make a suggestion? if you would like, leave your phone number right here with susan and we will get the steapt superintendent because many of the things -- zeant superintendent, because many of the things you have brought up, you should know they have been investigated. give us your phone number and i will ask assistant superintendent jeannie pond to give you a call. ok? >> ok. so item l. >> sorry. i just wanted to ask about that. if you could close the loop with the board by reporting back to us the results of any community

meeting. >> yes yes. especially, the information on some of the allegations that have been made. >> it is hard for us because people think we're ignoring them whereas we're just following the rules and not responding at the meeting. >> that is what i just said. i hope you understand. all the public. not just you. >> some of the allegations and things that have been brought to the -- >> ok. thank you. thank you. i now call a public hearing to hear public testimony under receipt of funds for three state categorical programs. may i hear a motion and a second on approval of flexible use of state tier 3? >> salute. >> second. >> could i have a reading of recommendations by the

superintendent? >> good evening commissioners. i'm the budget director. before i read the resolution into the record, i would just like to point out that the exhibit attached to this resolution has changed just very slightly and there is a new exhibit being distributed right now. included with the corrected exhibit is also additional information on -- which gives you a little more detail on the use of those tier 3 categorical funds. the resolution is that the board of education of the san francisco unified school district homeland a public hearing to hear public herselfmony on receipt of funds

for hearing on receipt of funds for state 3 tier categorical funding for state educational purposes. if i may, could i just jump down to the most relevant paragraph? various asemly bill chapter 606 for 2011 which became affective on january 1, 2012, amends section 42605 of the education code to require that the regularly scheduled -- that the regularly scheduled open public hearing be held prior to an independent of a meeting where the governing board of the school district or governing board adopts the annual budget. further, ab 189 requires if the governing board intends to close a program funded by the items

listed under education code 42625 a, the governing board shall identify in the notice of the agenda of the public hearing or at another public hearing the program or programs proposed to be closed and whereas the schedules of state tier 3 categorical programs incorporated here in as part of the agenda and make explicit the purposes for which the funds will be used and whereas the schedule of tier 3 as part of the agenda identify the tier 3 programs proposed to be closed, therefore be it resolved that the board of education of the san francisco unified school district and office of education does approve the use of the flexibility provisions of the state tier 3 categorical programs for fiscal year 2012-2013 as permitted by the

education code 42605 and be it further resolved that the board of education of the san francisco school district does approve the proposed use of fund described in the attached tier three program scheduled and has made explicit the purposes for which the fund will be used. >> thank you. there is no public comments on this item. >> there is one. >> she had put down budget. ok. >> go ahead. >> we'll get you in the right item yet. >> i'm a campaign organizationer at coleman advocates and i have

a couple of questions about the items that appear on this and making sure that i understand this correctly. so the -- i was trying cross reference essentially this list that you provided with the available funding with the -- what you're actually flexing and it doesn't exactly correlate. i'm going to read the resource code. so i have the advanced placement fee waiver program. it doesn't have a resource code. i don't see where that is. details what is being flexed of that pot. for resource code 01200 for an amount of $885,139, i don't see where and how much you are flexing from that program. for resource code 07850 in the

amount of $90,300, i also need to understand what is the flex amount from that program. for resource code 07560, i don't see details of what the flex amount for that program will be. this one is resource code 0004 for an amount of $29,414 and i believe -- -- i don't -- it is the oral health assessment program. for resource code 07900 an amount of $786,052, there is no details on how much is more flex than that. for 063650, there is no details for that in the amount of

1,575041. 07370 for an amount of $32,078. there is no details on an amount. thamed that would be for a specialized secondary program and the last one does not have a resource code. it is ooo. i believe it is for remedial supplemental instruction and it is for an amount of $1,250,000. it does not have details on what is being flexed from that resource code. thank you. >> thank you. >> go ahead. would you like to -- >> most of the resources that you pointed out are in the sup meantry sheet that i -- supmentry sheet that i handed out that indicates the

expenditure. this sheet here tells you what you the total fundings from the state is for these particular programs and these details are the expenditures that co-relate to that. in addition to this, in the budget book that is in exhibit 6 a, that also gives you revenue along with the expenditure and the amount that is to be flexed. some of the other programs like the supplemental remedial instruction programs and the grade 9 math class size reduction program have traditionally all been always been unrestricted and are included in exhibit four, i believe, in as district revenue and those programs are used for the purposes for which they were originally intended.

>> it is a lot more confusing than it was in previous years. i just remember last year it was much, much easier to follow and i don't have an example of the chart in front of us, but i couldn't tell you from the three charts what we're flexing and what we're not. i'm not getting it at all. >> i'm wondering -- >> are you responding to vice president norton? >> yes. i am adding to her question that perhaps -- should i stop talking? my train of thought may never come back. i was just going suggest that perhaps for next tuesday, when we have a full discussion on the 3 that we perhaps have it in a form that is maybe a little bit

more lucid or easier to read. would that be an ok recommendation deputy superintendent? >> commissioner, i think that is fine. the one question that i'm going to ask her to help us with is procedurely, there was this change that is referenced in the language of the special order that calls upon the public hearing that is taking place right now and i believe a vote to approve the use of the tier 3 funds to take place prior to the meeting at which the budget is adopted. so just procedurely, and i don't -- unfortunately know all of the details about whether the augmented budget committee having a discussion and action item on that piece whether that would suffice and meet the

requirements of the a law that was passed in the last year. >> unfortunately not. it has to be at a regularly scheduled board meeting and i don't believe the augmented committee meeting would constitute that. i may be wrong but -- >> commissioner wynns? >> we have to get a separate meeting reform >> it says regularly scheduled. we could not change it to a special meeting of the board? we are planning all to be there. >> that is an option. why don't we look at that. >> it meets a regularly aagendaized meeting. >> i'm going to advocate for that. the first thing, besides like everybody else, saying what does this mean? when i got this, in addition to that, i am absolutely unprepared to vote for something that says that we have made explicit the purposes for the ch the funds will be used because there is

absolutely no discretion of the purposes for which the funds will be used. i would be satisfied but i would think we would have published something that says we're going into the general funds being used for the following purposes, maintaining class size and i don't think the public would have a problem with that, but it doesn't say that anywhere here. then i want to also ask maybe this will help, i don't know. i need clarification myself. what was in the agenda, which i presume is what the public has, certainly what is available online, not this, doesn't anywhere say how much of these funds we're going flex. so it doesn't. the biggest problem is the target instructional improvement. our so-called screent dollars, some $38 million. in this document, it looks like we're flexing 5.35 million of

that, which is fine but this -- what we have published in our agenda would not tell anyone that at all. so i, you know, and i would like -- i think that people need to know exactly how much of what we're flexing and i also think they need to know which i don't have a problem with, but i need it explained for the public and to us i guess, but mainly for the public, we're not doing. i need us to say -- so i'll give you my favorite because i'm -- i've been advocating for not doing this for a long time. we're not doing the community-based english language training and child care that was generated funding under the initiative and why we're not doing it. because, you know, i think that is the kind of thing we need to do. we need to say why we're spending this none a different way.

besides the ok, we have no money and we're looking for any way we can to be able to sustain our core programs like instruction in the classroom. but all that is presumed in the resolution, not explained. and so that's what i'm asking for, that we -- i don't think -- i understand it is a little different notice, but otherwise, we're planning to have that meeting anyway and i think that it is the only way we can actually meet our public obligation to really discuss this because we don't even know the answers . i'm unprepared to vote for this. >> >> a sense i'm getting and i agree that we're not going to have much of a discussion on this tonight rather than trying to figure out the details at this point is to give us the details before the next meeting and when we will change that meeting into a regular board

meeting special session, i guess. agendaize it. it should be ok, right? >> right. to be clear. the requirement that there be a public hearing prior to the action this constitutes the public hearing. if there is under discussion friar the action item, that will probably fa till sate what the board -- facilitate what the board members are concerned about. >> so dough do we have to take any action tonight? >> you do not. >> ok. >> i just want to ask her our parliamenttarian, it has other action items on it that refer to the budget committee, does that mean we move those on the a regular meeting on the agenda or is there other action that has to be taken by the chair of the

board? >> it can be done in a special meeting and you can have the other kind of discussion to -- too. >> i need to ask mr. davis, are you saying that this meeting we are having right now this discussion constitutes the duly required public hearing? because i don't agree with that. it says right in the resolution that the public hearing specifies in detail what we're doing with the money. >> if this amount of information that was provided at the public hearing is insufficient for the board to make a decision, this can still constitute the public hearing but you're going need the additional information before you make the decision. you can agendize another public hearing prior to it or not. we're talking about a

qualitative statement rather than actual legal requirement. it can be done either way. >> but we're clear legally seeing in the requirement for a regularly scheduled meeting just means that we schedule the meeting using the normal legal process. not that it has to be our regularring? >> exactly right. it has to be an agendized meeting. >> let's just move on. let's move on. we're not going to take any action on this item right now. ok? on tuesday. so we're going to change that augmented budget committee meeting into a regular full board meeting as a special meeting. >> can i ask a question to deputy superintendent lee? if it is possible to give us this information in the form that we have had it in previous yeerks which was much clearer as far as i was concerned with what

was being swept and what wasn't being swept and how much was being swept and then in addition the request for what are we actually doing with the money? >> not question that commissioner wynns asked? this is not sufficient description of what are we actually doing with the moneys that are being swept into the general funds. >> we can -- i think we can provide information about that latter question. i do -- we'll find a way to shed light on that. what we're anticipating is that to the extent funds are swept or flexed, it really is generally to offset cuts in the general fund. we are not anticipating identifying particular expenditures that we are going

to link to the amount -- >> sorry, i was not asking for that level of details. what i was just repeating, commissioner wynns' request which i understood to be a description of we're using these funds toward the following activities that we haven't been able to support out of the general fund or to maintain these activities. >> if i may, just a clarification about the meeting on next tuesday evening and if i heard correctly, commissioners are contemplating replacing the augmented budget committee with a special meeting. >> let me try to clarify. there are some items that are scheduled for the budget committee right now. so -- and it was mentioned that we could take it under all of these items in the special meeting. however, i'm going to end up recommending that
