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

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. i just want everyone to know in the san francisco community that services are schedule for saturday, december 21st at jones noirm united methist

this. much of my staff are under the mistaken belief we're going to serve beer this morning. i want to congratulate everyone it's wonderful to see so many people that are part of our maker movement by people who make things in san francisco. this is i think the beginning of a huge renaissance of manufacturing in the city. i want to congratulate katie for our leadership in working with our staffs and the industries and creating partnerships and the world of merchandising and all the different companies and working with me to promote those products. i came back from china you, you know, those bags are really wonderful in china will where did you make those not in china that were i get to introduce a

huge market to locally manufactured products and when i see a label whether it's on books and wine or other things of manufacturing sincere makes and mattresses. sf made has worldwide attention and that's our constitute you are so take advantage of this. i was going to get out of the way early i went to the game when we beat the lakers and we did that now 3 times in the last month and b.a. give this and same thing high and i look forward to working with you will have you when they come and innovate with us on the

basketball court. i'm excited about all the companies i see here. i know that sf label means a lot when what is your u your looking at chocolates and wines or heat ceramics or mattresses a one hundred and 15 year company. i had a chance to visit with them and the testimony bucks two assessors or cut lose deny i am sorry all kinds of things. we're going to do more. i know we've increased funding for our local manufacturing through sf made and we're going to a continue doing that. our business accelerators have been helpful but at the same time we've got more to do. i i know there are some great new programs. i love the fact that youth made

just started we got introduced we're going to have a lot of youth and have interning to get into the skill sets needed to be part of the maker in the city. i also have i think an announcement maybe some of you know about it. but today, there are now 5 hundred sf made members, 5 hundred. congratulations (clapping) that is 25 percent more than last year are the at the same time. if we there 25 percentage every year once in a while, you'll be ahead of everybody that's a lot of great jobs. speaking will jobs i want you to know within 60 days our

hardworking staff in addition to bringing i drinking a lot of beer are working on legislation. we're going to be working on our public works dr our legislation that will easy more affordable space to find that. that's incredible you've got to have that uneasy the regulatory process. i know it's surely incredible. we also want to let you know we're announcing new innovates. we will do more expansion we did that with sf when we brought fashion here and local manufacturing but we're doing it with our food conspiracy and

eating locally is great but listen up the different things that have to do with food. we have a fantastic produce in the city that doubles fresh vegetation and food to every food establishment as well as grocery stores throughout northern california. to connect them to more of our local scene and make sure that big event are utilized with our local produce that's the heart and movement of our whole food sector innovative. and then as wife also felt the success of our city has partly to do with everybody we do whether it's bio life scientists and the technology industry or merchandising industry here and

tourism but the real innovation comes when we recognize that it is the intersections where those industries happen to cross and where they met each other. that's why it's important to see a company like autodesk here and pg&e that ordinarily they do things in the traditional sense people do things on their own. advanced merchandising you can't do anything without this you want to be able to see it before you mass produce it it takes outside the risk and certainly saves money. david chiu and i were there at the autodesk were assisting all the different levels of merchandising. so that cross section is very

important. there's more of those areas that can do a lot more for us. you'll find another example when square opens up their headquarters you'll find their furniture is being produced in sf made like ohio designed willing designing it to make sure we utilize the talent that's here poor more of that can happen. why can't we have 50 to 60 people holding a tip buck too bag. there's all kinds of things and that's the beauty of being in san francisco we can introduce and reintroduce each other to each other. you're going to find a lot of builders doing haven't designs.
