headed and how you see its potential for serving the broader community as a whole. if you have a question, i welcome them. >> and so if there are other things that you want to get back to me about. >> thank you very much for the part. >> thank you. >> it was just a pleasure to have you here before us again. i know definitely that the station has had its ups and downs but through all of that you have been really a steadfast braoefsh belief and her trying to get all of you to move and on a real, and really on the solid ground to move forward, and it is wonderful to hear that you are putting

together a strategic thought process about where you want to go and what you want to do and going forward because that is what we are doing here. and sfusd and that is aufully nice to hear that. and you can get my e-mail address and so can be added to the list. and thank you for your permission, and so i can give you that too. i look forward to what you are thinking and what the other staff members are envisioning for the process, and going forward in the years to come. and my time of the school members and i can't wait as much as i can. and wellness, of kalw and i and i paid for by the way, and it is tuesday. and you know where i will be. and you you can also listen

here. and watch on sfgov but you can listen. and and i listen all of the time. and it is just. and one of the shows. and thank you so much for the leadership and it has been wonderful. and commissioner norton? >> i just look forward to the best for kalw and i just want to commend you and the quality of the report is amazing. i swr had the opportunity to be on there and both times, you know, stotterris that came out that i was interviewed for, were professional and i was proud to be a part of it. so, i am just always proud of the programs, and what you have done, and in getting this station on a better financial footing is really admirable. and i think that the only question that i would love to explore with you, this year, is whether there is an opportunity

to broadcast our committees of the whole which are the alternate tuesday. and since, you know, a lot of people tell me that they are trying to direct a lot of the more needy discussions to those meetings and it will be great if there were more accessible to the public at home and i have no idea whether that is just a dream land, idea, or if it is possible, but i would love to explore that. >> okay, we can definitely discuss it. >> okay. >> commissioner murase? >> yes. i really wanted to congratulate you at a time when the small radio stations are disappearing very rapidly and i had the opportunity to visit a relocation center in the tsunami affected area of japan and they had the challenge of how you bring the families together and they created a radio station and so your example provides a really need td demonstration of how the radio contributes to the life

of a community, and i have to say, january, 2011, i was just elected to this board and we were asked to extend a line of credit to a radio station and i want to acknowledge jill who made that pitch to the board and the board stepped up and really have the confidence in this. we got a lot of flank from some members of the community that they have no business running a small radio station and why is this amount of money going to radio instead of classrooms and etc. and it was a little bit of a leap of faith but i think now what you are demonstrating is that, there really is value to this. and the two questions that i asked you every year, is the first is about student involvement with your programming and i am delighted to see the student testimonials of how that has really come to life and the audio academy is really addressing the needs that our students have in understanding the whole broadcasting industry.

and the second question that i always ask is i am class that you have embarked on the planning but i hope that you will convene a board to keep that momentum going and to guide you so that it is a broad cross section of supporters and stake holers who can help to guide the station into the future. >> just to address your second point. this, i think that the strategic work and i think that is one of the things driving the work to me is the organized community support. and really, in part depends upon a clear vision that comes from within, the organization and it has been around a long time and i think that kind of to get that reaching out for resources, and also, the good, you know, feedback coming back from that kind of organized community support. to me, i think that we are at a place where we need more clarity internally to do that and that definitely part of the plan, so thank you.

>> commissioner wynns? >> thank you. >> i just don't want to take much time, i just want to say thank you. and reiterate my support for the station and the programming, and i have always been really supportive of the station and i am very proud that we are able to maintain it even though we don't put money into it any more, but in-kind things and i appreciate your acknowledge of that. and i think that it is a really important asset and resource for us. and i am very pleased with all of the developments that you are reporting on and so thanks >> and i had a good time visiting you last year. >> student dell great wei? >> i think that your work is cool and one thing that caught my eye was the burton high school summer interns, and i was don%backer wondering if you were planning on expanding the program and making it available for all of the students?

>> i think to the extend that we will expand it, we are a local public video and part of what i think to me one of the real assets of being at a school site is to build the relationships in that school and i guess just we know that there are, and turn away the burr ten students who are interested in being part of this program. and, obviously i am sure that there are students who across the district were limited in the number of people that we have the ability to bring in. and i could tell you i would like to extend it and i would say, the student five, 6, 7 from burton and it is not because we are there and we have these students and often after they work with us and come sbak into the state and if

there was a direction and i think that there is real advantages, that there is something to give back to the community that is very supportive of the station and very welcoming to us, and so, there is a lot of students that would be interested in the opportunity and i recognize that. and that is my thinking about. >> and commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell? >> yeah, i just wanted to say thank you. and just ask you to continue to do the great work and you guys continue to be number one on my dial. >> great. >> >> and then i just want to say that it is. what they do is really cool. but if you went there. it is sort of down home and local radio, and it is very cool and i think that the experience in fact, it would be great for the student delegates to come up and even to be there

cool. and we have answered the phones more and you just hear the people talk about how much they love the programming and they will talk about the shows and it is the true essence and all assets of san francisco and san franciscans and congratulations in your fund-raising. >> thank you. and i just want to add, if classes want to come and visit the station, if you know, if their teachers are saying here are students that i think might be interested in media or journalism, we welcome, and i am happy to sit and talk and a lot of it happens because somebody reaches out to us and i encourage, you know, the teachers, administrators. students who say, hey this is something that i want to know more about to get in touch with me we welcome that. >> sign, us up for your newsletter. >> thank you.

>> so now we have item n. consent calendar resolutions. moved at previous meeting fors second reading, and action, none tonight. vote on consent calendar. before we do that, i have one speaker that i missed not on purpose, dennis kelley. >> i am dennis kelley, the president of ucsf and i thank you very much for calling to me eventually. but, i requested your purpose. and i am talking to you about k49, which is on page 259, and we have an 83,000 commitment to the call waiver office there and it is for some fairly ill defined services. the board agenda itself is missing a verb and when it

says, interventions must provide for identified priorities and schools, but is that all? can you tell us tonight, since you started off tonight with the roll of the board and the rules and procedures that said that you have to be knowledgeable about everything and good spokes people and all of that. so, can you tell us what are the priorities schools in san francisco? . which are the reward schools? where are the schools. and how are those designations achieved? and to whom have they been communicated. the agenda speaks of interventions and a partner institute and i assume that is what you are paying for, what are the interventions that are contemplated, who will participate in this institute? and the agenda administrators and teachers and support staff does not identify, xh individuals cohort and schools and divisions and etc., of those categories will be

involved and not what they will be involved in. under selection process, on the back of the page for the agenda and it mentions the common core state standards as ccsf, and an apparent attempt to confuse the core waiver with core standards and i just want to remind you for the two are different. and no more the same, than former board president dan kelley and are the same. not even related. right? as we head towards the negotiations on a contract with the district we look for areas of mutual trust and agenda items that intentionally confuse and inflate, throughout the screens and blocks the trust that we might hope for, remember that you get no money from core waiver. and now you are spending 17,000 under 100,000 dollars on it and is this is just the beginning of feeding this alternate

structure, what are we entering into it here? what will we get out of this expenditure? >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. kelley. >> council, if any commissioner would like to pull that item for discussion. are we able to do it at that time, considering that we have already gone through that process, and i forgot to have him speak? >> excuse me madam president, prior to the vote, and an item may be pulled, for either discussion, or it could be put over to the subsequent meeting, discussed there as a hold over item and then brought back up for a vote. >> okay. >> yes, so considering that actually, i have questions and i think that we do not have the

staff here to answer some of those questions. so, i think that we should remove that item. if you think time wise we could do it for the next meeting, deputy superintendent? maybe i could get your opinion on that? >> i am not aware of any deadlines, that would need us to access like this, and certainly there are some questions that could or we could have the staff come back and make sure that respond to. >> that would be great, and so have you noted some of the questions that president kelley has brought forth? >> yes. >> okay. >> so i think that we would like to remove this for the first reading. >> thank you very much. >> okay. >> okay, so now, we can vote on

the consent calendar that was moved and seconded under section f. so, are we ready for a vote? >> thank you. >> student delegates, are not here, miss fewer? >> yes. haney. >> yes. >> maufas. >> yes. >> you are abstaining commissioner. or in case 65. >> file in all, k656 abstaining, correct. >> thank you so much. >> mendoza-mcdonnell? >> yes, except for items 2, 4, 8, 43, 45, that are retroactive. >> thank you. >> 2, 4, 8, 43, 45, thank you. >> dr. murase? >> aye. >> norton. >> yes. >> and miss wynns. >> aye. >> thank you. >> okay, item p, consent calendar resolutions severed for the board discussion and immediate action, there was one item that was the mlu.

right? >> and i believe that commissioner murase pulled that. >> page 133. and i believe that we have associate superintendent here to answer any questions. >> thank you. president fewer, mr. chu and truly i, even with the late version, there is just two areas i just wanted to address the comments that were made earlier tonight. on item 19, section 19. and on the version that i had at home, it was shall. and i had no problem with that but this new version has been changed. and i guess that is the latest version of all of the changes that have happened in the last two days it is now been changed

from subject to the exception described below when sfpd does make a school day arrest it shall use the graduated response system, that was the original that i had this weekend. and this is the new version just received. hours ago. ; is that correct?? >> that is correct. >> which says, subject to the exception described below when sfpd officers make a school based arrest, they should use the graduated response. and i make a motion and for an amendment to that to return it back to shall. >> okay. >> i have made a note of that and i know that we have been? discussion about that and i know that exact edit. >> and could we vote in >> and i think that it was accepted. yeah. >> okay. and i think that we all do, and unless there is a commissioner

that don't? >> yes. superintendent, do you know if this is a deal breaker with the police department? whether they have taken a position on it or are we going to go now with the proposal? >> so to tell you the truth i honestly think that what it comes to the should and shall and the williams and shoulds that it is really a matter of our legal counsel. those are where, i think that is where the legal checks in and says that we don't want to box ourselves into you shall do this and let's give us the wiggle room and say that you will as opposed to you should. and so i think that that is where it was not our legal counsel at all, angie has been phenomenal but it is kind of the wiggle room there and so is it a deal breaker? i would not assume that it would be. and it is certainly not to the

chief of the officers, but, according to it might be a legal counsel thing that i don't know, we will make this recommendation, >> okay. >> thank you. >> yes. >> we as it came out of my office, we were comfortable with shall. and i am comfortable with recommending that it be modified to shall, and if there needs to be subsequent discussion with council we will have that discussion and for some reason, i don't suspect that this will turn into a deal breaker and it should not be so we will probably be back with further discussion and i don't think that that will be the case >> okay. >> i would like to add something that i hope that will not be a deal breaker also. first, kevin, i want to say thank you so much for the effort that you have put in. i received a list of meetings and they have gone over for two years. and this is, and this shows for

tenacity that you have to put us on firm footing with our police department and that we make sure that our, and that it is outlined, very clearly, about what will happen when we have interaction with the police at our schools, and if affords the protection to our students and so i really want to thank you. and to make us a partner with the police department. and working so hard to bring all of the groups together and listening and mediating and moving this forward and i think that this is a testament and this department, is a testament to all of your hard work. and collaboration with all of the groups, thank you kevin so much for representing us so well. and having said that. section 20. under, he knows that i have the great affection for him. training on a distribution of mlu and across agency professional development for personal. and this is the third paragraph down, sros and any police

officers who may interact with sfusd schools or students and it says will be encouraged to participate. i would like the language to be stronger, to say shall participate in at least one training per year provided by sfusd regarding the restorative practices. and i would take it so far to say that the youth development in choices and the relevant, and but i really feel that the restorative practices is our, or what we have adopted as a district to really redefine the plan in our schools. and so i think that it was the only right if we could write it even at srs on, attend at least one, because those are the police officers that are dealing directly with the students and we just want to make sure that everyone is aligned to what we are doing in

our schools and we know that the practices have been defined in the different agencis in a different way and we have defined it in our district to mean a certain thing that in a way or that we are addressing discipline and i think that it will be beneficial for the sros that they will attend one training a year sponsored by us on the restorative practices and i think that also, it would be a benefit, to the police department, to have their officers traibd in this and, this is something nationwide, i think around community policing that many, many police departments are looking at. but, so, if you could go and pitch that for us, kevin. >> i second the amendment. >> that would make me very happy. >> you are invited now to the restorative practices professional development and i attended one that they invited me to to thank the officers for several in attendance there and it works out that ben was lead

and so in section, 20, third paragraph it will read my recommended is sros and any police officers, who may interact with sfusd schools or students, will participate, i am taking out, the be encouraged to, will participate in at least one training per year, provided by... >> right? >> right. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to agree in support of that recommendation president fewer. and if i would like to beyond the legal counsel, if this comes back as a discussion item, i hope that we get that information as commissioners, because i believe our participation in that dialogue sends a message. and i don't want that, and i don't want you to be burdened with that. and i think that even having some commissioners comment on where our values are and what

they believe the restorative practices and the importance of the participation of our kids directly. and having them understand where, or what we think and how we function around the kids and using the restorative practices is an effective tool in our classroom and that they participate as a part of our community, and in those classes, and so it is a huge message and i would definitely want to be a part of that conversation. so, i would want to give you that information, and also to have the legal counsel understand that as well and be guided from the legal counsel and how we can participate appropriately in those discussions >> also, kevin, under section 17, and i talked to you before and i want to bring it to the attention of my colleagues that it says that sfusd board policy cards and the school official must call a parent, guardian, and given such parent guardian,

a reasonable opportunity to be present for any police interrogation unless the child is suspected victim of child abuse, and i think that this call is very important, that the students are questioned in the presence of their parent or guardian for their protection. but that also the reasonable opportunity and i believe that probably your office may define that, but i would encourage that at least an hour's time i think that most of our parents getting a call, need to get permission to leave their job site and then also, probably most of our parents use the public transportation as the mode of transportation and so that it would take them at least an hour to get to the school site before their child is questioned by the police. so, i am leaving it up to you, but i think and i just wanted to bring it to the attention of my colleagues that is something that we should be looking at

since we know that a lot of the parents have to take the public transportation to the school sites and since we have the full choice we have many students who go to school far from their neighborhood. thank you. >> commissioner haney >> i think that it is clear that this is really extraordinary work and amazing document here that i think that reflects the important principal and agreement and creates the clarity with the relationship and i think that for the advocacy folks who are still here, and you are stuck with us and thank you, and to the youth commission and everyone. for the years and taken a lot of back and forth and a lot of time and so really, thank you. and actually we are called tonight, and i will have that and my very first experience with political, and organizing against having a police officer on our campus. and i know that we moved beyond

that now and we realized now that there is an important role for the police officers in the campuses but only on the narrow situation and that clarity around the roles and responsibilities that we have and that they have, is so much and important in light of that. i know as many folks spoke to tonight and the students experience the policing on their campus in a very poignant wait and the degree to which the police officers on the campus and the troel that they have there is important not just for safety but how a student understanding, what the institution of school is there for. and the feeling that they have that they are an environment that first and foremost about their education and i really think that this document reflects that. i have one question about something that is in this document. which i think is important and i support, the prior commitments that were offered

to change the language to shall, and also, create a requirement around the restorative practices and there is reference here to an sfusd restorative practices task force. and i had a question about i was not completely aware that we had a standing or do we not have a standing restorative practices task force and if so, what the plan was in terms of the composition and it says that it will include, to use the members, and i would be interested in a bit more conversation about that task force and our roll in it. >> okay. so the previous mlu had what? >> what? >> kevin you are probably so tired. >> i am, you know when it gets after 8:30 and 9:00 you can really expect anything right now. and so, but the previous mlu had a sfpd dispute resolution

task force. and but i changed it and we changed it in meaning that we might as well employ the restorative practices because that is going to be kind of our, or the lens at which we are looking through these issues and so we actually made it up and we don't actually have the restorative practices and we don't have them yet but it will be led by cer rif and so we are going to inform it and once this is in place and we know that this is a direction that we want to go in and the task force that we want to present to you and i felt that it would be the most appropriate people to convene that could also mediate and it is the dispute process that brings them into play and to help us analyze the data and serve as intermaidary as families that have disputes and so that is why we just brought that in and but we are going to form that and they are aware that this will be coming down and they have read this. and so the restorative

practices team is posed and ready to form this task force and as soon as they know that that has been approved and that the group that we will be looking at the dispute process and helping us to analyze the feedback. >> so, thank you. >> yeah, that is great. i am glad that you are doing that and i would be interested to know if that task force potentially will have a broader mandate will they be involved with other efforts that we have or monitoring other work that may or may not be happening in the future around this issue or that is already currently happening in the district and do we envision that as that and so, if so, this seems like this particular piece of it is potentially make for a longer conversation, and for the board or be involved in a further conversation that we are going to have around the restorative practices work on february 4th. and so, so i will be interested to hear if that is the vision
