meetings and traingz that have been offered around hysterically practices around the education services and supporting the achievement of african-american students were we attended the training that was on the restoring enforcement. we participated in to kind of broaden our prospective on how it pertains to engaging parents and also to look at exploring how we can support the work across the district. one of the experiences that stuck out was the exercise of looking at the parental engagement of the process is it token or is it real are participation. what we determined at the end of

this exercise it depend upon on the attention whether the parents had a say in the design whether they determined the consent or where they to participate and sign off. and one of the topics that really graded the meeting was the process itself. for a lot of parents showing up it's a new experience. maybe they don't understand the language but depending upon how it's structured. so another piece that we participated in was part of participating in the implementation of the design special education and their identifying their straefg goals across the department and the

calculation of other parental organizations and community leaders to give feedback. they're specific goal was creating authentic relationships to address student success. as part of that process the ideas that were generated from the committee meeting in march some of those questions are included with dr. and her colleagues. i'm going to highlight a couple of those. some of those that came out of that briefing the parents want the information particle around the information progress. for example, on information sheet on the i p project works it should be included in a package including friendly language.

another input from the pact this those cross packet calculations was the ideas of parents having information of the, i.e., process so they can understand the challenges and where is their input on the individual listed plan four their child. the pack has been in contact of how the packet can provided encounter participation from parents. the purpose it is to advise on the impact economic we provided

>> well my name is willie ratting cliff if anybody don't know me. anyway we'll come down to the final local act of what we've been trying to do for over a year. i met with the previously superintendent along with the present superintendent for over a year ago about this problem. that we have. and anytime a discriminatory

practice you're supposed to deal with it. i'm not satisfied with what i see. and we can always move forward after what you do tonight i'm hoping that someone o some of the things that others will bring up because i don't have the time. will bring up that's wrong in here. and one thing about it you're going to set aside money for a group of people that alreayou.

>> latino democrats i was going

over the latest version and echoed the same feeling i'll take it a little bit further. i'm especially concerned by this little clause here under sanctuary remedies. despite a concerted effort somehow we got back to faith effort that's a concerted effort. i went to law school i know how to word specify myself. i understand how the argument was we need a little bit of wiggle room. there's a lot of krarjts how the there who said they can't compete. here's the nature of business

all right. if somebody says they can't do that there's at least 10 to 20 other contractors willing to comply with whatever you come up with. they've got families to feed and it just so happens that their black and brown and asian working class white boys from the richmond district and they're good phone calls for good faith effort. yeah. i've heard this kind of talk. somehow just by changing good faith effort to a concerted effort you're under the assumes that my people can't understand the english language. perhaps i'm stuttering perhaps i have an accent well, i'm

offended. >> i'm again appreciate our effort in trying to make this come together. today, i just happenstancely looked at what it costs for a two-bedroom apartment in san francisco. $3,500 with a swim pool but on the lower range one through $200 in a san francisco apartment. i'm an electrician who can't afford inform live in a two-bedroom apartment here in san francisco. it's important that my children s are graduates of the unified school district. it's important that we push for

opportunities for them to be employed at all levels. it's important that the education their receiving is relevant in the jobs they'll be having it's important that this local higher be paved. i worry about it was at a higher rate. i want to make sure that people of color have an opportunity. i'm here to advocate for people to not only get on the job site people can go anywhere in the world if they have the skills. but it's important that whatever is passed that we insure that that pipeline is not only field but it's sustainable

>> good evening my name is robert woods. i'm with the black leadership. human rights council. i have a couple things i want to throw out i will be quick and very short about first of all, i would say no car bouts the whole $531 million should be commented to this program. if you can i ever out anything that means you are carrying out something for people who have been eating at the bin for a long time and we say no car vote and and the intirm program.

we want to see some type of policy or program design that should touch a certain income even if people so we can start a learning base for the community for those communities who have been left out. thirdly, i was here about a month and a half ago when doctor grand jury wanted to turn in a card to speak on a certainty item that was already being under processes and every one of you walked out on her and didn't allow her to speak you allowed her to speak but you left our post unimpaired and didn't hear her. i see someone else turned in a card that was after the subject

was being introduced and i wonder are you going to treat that person the same way if they're talking about h. are you going to treat them the same way you treated dr. jackson. it would really show just how arrogant how self-serving that you can be. and i say if that's what you're doing then i say don't do it. >> good evening commissioners. superintendant jenny with affirmative action. we've been working with you in the past year to develop a strong policy that's going to have lasting positive efforts in

creating equity and change for our students and families in san francisco. tonight is a moment for the commissioners of where your values lie and our priority that you would set for the school district and the value around the taxpayers of $531 million that will go to renovating our schools. specifically, i wanted to speak to a few proposed edits for the policy you have before you this evening. one adjustment or amendment we want to propose from the community a minimum of 25 percent of working hours are by trade. this would mirror the city policy that we've been working with community as well commissioner fewer and

commissioner han i didn't s in showing the replication of the city model that we know it works and is attainable. we know this is a success. lastly we want to speak to proposed edits around internships and we know the value of what internships mean for the school graduates. instead of allowing a blanket waiver from the contractors within the trade susan again to say you can sponsor an interim. in closing again, this is the chinese affirmative action have worked on local hiring for decades we rewe hope you all about make the right decision

>> evening with bright line. i'm excited about tonight. it's been a long road i saw president yee join and i think there's a lot of symptom liberalism. and then han i didn't gets effected and everybody everyone's is getting around the torch. thank you for proposing this motion. it's very exciting and we're going to do something historic tonight because of the collective efforts there's always in a marathon a sprint at the end. this seems like the deal. it's nothing new that's not been stated i want to see it into go

back to no car. and you don't have to have a separate vote. last time i thought the deal said for the local higher and the local apprenticess to support the cia trade and to end the trade not just 7 trades. i thought there was support from the building trades council. and from the labor spoke about the support for all trades not just for 7 trades there's 28 trades. final part it's been suggested about the non cinnamons the city has a proposed labor if you call the hall and you can get a blank

check and get zero local higher. we ask you to sponsor an apprentices and let's billed the pipeline so next time you call there will be somebody there >> good evening board. james bryant institute of the region director. just this past week i sat on the board for the mayor for the local hiring groups. mr. han i didn't participated in that process. we didn't ask that there be a separate process. and i just want to mention that the separate process back
