>> we discussed the child care and planning and advisory counsel and so we decided that the nominees were going to be brought to the board of education and the chief of early education and that we sent to us beforehand and we will approve them as a group. is there anything more that you want to say about that? >> that is correct. and also, that would be handled in the same way and there will be consultation with the board of supervisors. >> thank you. on the other one which is the cpac appointments and i take it

that you saw what the one thing that was not there, is that the folks that are on there are not getting off on timeds and some of 2014, and 150 and so the result was that we had a staff recommendation, that was very similar to the one that we brought forward and discussed and we are going to vote on is that all of the commissioners will be assigned a member of qtea, and that is going to happen randomly by lottery and when those folks go off we will be able to make the appointments individually and add the superintendents and we considered the ones that you had recommended and because the folks were not going off at different times it was not something that we thought was viable. and so i am happy to answer any questions about that. i am sorry that was still the best option that we could come up with. >> i appreciate you

reconsidering the structure and it sounds like we had and we did not have many choices, so thank you. >> you folks have questions about that? and i know that it is hard for me to believe that this is the end of this issue. and i feel like, i want to say, like that is it. >> and we have three more advisory committee to deal with after this. >> it is not the end, okay, good. >> and i know that you are happy to hear that. >> all right. >> thank you for the report. >> okay, commissioner fewer will you give us a report. >> we are done with that. commissioner dr. murase, would you give us a report from the curriculum and program committee of december second? >> we discussed three informational items, and update on the county court and continuation schools and the school quality improvement system, update and the computer

debrief and any other reports? by board members? yes, commissioner wynns? >> i want to announce that the budget committee is meeting tomorrow evening mere at 6:00. >> great. >> would i like to say that... >> it is going to stay here for the whole week. >> why don't you guys just sleep over there. >> i was just going to say that commissioner haney and wynns and i had the pleasure of attending csba in san diego and one of the items that i feel as a board we desperately need to discuss and maybe at the budget committee you can map out a way to do this, i feel like we really need it start to get our heads around the lcsf and the cap and the local control accountability plan that we required to put together. the state has not done a lot of guidance with what we need to do with that but it feels like a real opportunity for s to graple with and to decide how we are going to deal with this

kind of unprecedented flexibility that we are going to have and apply the dollars in the most equitable way and i am excited about it from all of the sessions that i attended. but i don't feel like we talked about it at all. >> you know we had this as a standing item on the budget committee agenda, not everybody is at the committee and even though the meetings are augmented and also, csba has a sort of a road show that they have done. they have developed a guide for a study session for the boards of education. and so, i think that we should do that and figure out where,

either we schedule the budget committee and augmented when everybody is available and everybody will come, or we have it as a committee as a whole or a regular board meeting. we went over the structure of how the money is distributed but not so much, how we planned to spend it. and i think that one of the biggest things that we need to do because we already you know, for instance, we are not going to as the superintendent said that we are not going to sit down and develop a whole different structure or process for community input like for everybody other community in the state is doing that, we do

have to monitor how the structure we have already is being effective in that regard, do they have the right materials and are they talking about what is going to go into the el cap which we don't know, how could they so far. i think that we have some beginning steps, but we should think specifically plan something about what the step is. >> superintendent? >> yes, i want to echo what commissioner wynns said about the process going forward and i have always seen the materials that california school board association has developed in the phenomenal and they are great resources. and so, just in terms of perspective, i also want to remind us that because we have had a weighted student formula now and the equity has been the lens of which we allocated resources even when there was no resources we use the lens of equity for the allocation and

distribution of our resources we are in many respects father ahead than many of our colleagues across the state of california and so while this feels new to many folks, it is actually kind of part of the process that we had in place for a number of years in san francisco. and that notwithstanding, do i think that it is important to engage the public to understand what may or may not change as we go foe ward and i would also add that our school quality improvement system is where are much aligned with the governor's lcsf, and so we are seeing actually this alignment, and this converse ans, and if you will, of the federal accountability, the state accountability, and our district accountability, all falling in line around this lens of equity that we talked about as well and that it is a worthy conversation to have. and the only other piece that i would add into this conversation is that there has been a number of questions from the community, around assessments this year.

and as you know there have been changing dictates about what assessments will be in place, and they almost change daily. but we would like to bring a discussion in public in january as well. and not a very long conversation, but just to update the public about what is it in terms of accountability and assessments that we will be pursuing in the district this year and how that relates to preparing our students and our teachers and our administrators around embracing the new, sbac assessments that are coming down the road and we want to start previewing that with our students and teachers so that that is not totally new information. or a totally new experience for our students, when they have to take these computer generated and computer assisted assessments. so we want to have that conversation in the public as well and so it all fits together and so i want to thank the board for bringing this topic up because this is very

pertinent as we move forward in the new school year, or the new... >> and if i could say one other thing, i am wondering if we, this is sort of a rules committee budget, committee issue. i would like to request that the board, that the staff come up with a plan about testifying at the state board of ed, because you know, it is a very delegate situation, you have a huge array of civil rights groups saying that going to the state board of ed before anybody has done anything and saying, all of this money and all of us who are advocates and every school district who is an advocate for local control and saying okay give us a chance to say or see how we are going to do this and have relied on the extremely expert testimony of our associations, like csba,

and they have all been and everybody has said that they have been wonderful. but, i just think we should be prepared to go up there and maybe you, and deputy and superintendent lee or whatever and say here is what we are doing and let us do this, this is what is good about what is in the regulations and see what happens and trust us because that is what this is supposed to be and it will help the state board of ed to make a wise decision. >> yes? >> so, i am on a 6:00 flight tomorrow morning, to gay lord convention center in texas. truly excited i know. and so, anybody want to come? anybody? >> so i have been invited to the avid, blueprint on the success for our urban leaders convening to talk about the success of college readiness and preparing first generation and under served students for college. and one piece that i think that is exciting that i want to be

able to come back and share is having a conversation with it is so exciting, about the african american male initiative and what avid is doing with their development project. which has been fully funded and so it will be interesting thoughts on what we can bring back in particularly with the work that we have been doing around the same issues. >> thank you. >> okay, any other reports from board members? >> yes. >> i want to mention that commissioner haney and i went out to the grand opening of the garden at woodside learning center. and it was very impressive and most impressive was that the students at the log cabin actually made the wood planters and the benches. and so which makes me think that we should connect them or

actually to the city build or something after they leave, because it is excellent work. and it was a very cold day, but, it was a great celebration. >> thank you. >> okay. so we will now move on to item t. report of closed session actions. and closed session actions of november 26, the board of education by a vote of 7 ayes approved one administrator. and close td session of november 19, the board of education by a vote of five, and two absent and denied the grade appeal for one grade change for one high school student. >> the board of education by a vote of five ayes and two absent, approved the contract

haney, and maufas. >> case number, 20130862, the board of education by the vote of five ayes and two absent, give the authority of the district to pay up to the stipulate you lated amount. and closed session actions of december 9th, the board of education by a vote of 7 ayes approved the expulsion of one high school student and a vote of 6 ayes and one abstain, approved the settlement regarding pending litigation items and student support service and investigation and designates the general county on the agreement. >> item u on informational items, the staff report on informational notice of classified personnel transaction and we have two, acknowledgments, in tonight's adjournment. and since commissioner wynns is not in the room we will begin with commissioner maufas. >> thank you.

>> president norton. >> the board of education, and the san francisco unified school district want to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of kenawalker who at 22 years of age was killed on sunday, december first in the san francisco bay view district. he went to precidio preschool, argon elementary and roosevelt middle school and lincoln high schools sxl on to city college. mckein. na will be missed as he leaves behind his father and mother and his mother is one of our employees of our early education sites, two of them and an older brother, and everybody knows him as ob and his older sister obma and as well as scores of family and

friends. and all attend, jones memorial united methodist church and all of the children, went through our san francisco public schools. his sister who has sent me this message to tell us about her little brother. the thing about life is that it highlights how ironic everything is. this came especially to be true with the death of my brother. ekena a child of nigeria parents was a proud san franciscan through and through and he was complex in a simple way. he had a range of passions, he was a sport and fitness fanatic a music make and her a great conversationalist and a thought provoker. he was also big on the idea that family was the most important thing that anyone

could have. he was extremely supportive brother and a loving son and a dotting cousin and a very respectful nephew, his relationships with friends evolved into brotherhood and sister hood which is the way that he considered friends as family. the ichronic thing about his death is that he has shown us what family really means our church family, our neighborhood family, our san francisco family, work family, school family, and even stranger family, have come together to show their love for ekenna, he lived each day of his life creating meaningful relationships with those around him. his legacy of love and loyalty, will continue to live on. and that was sent to me by his sister.
