committee, and we had a very interesting budget committee meeting and in the folders, too was the material for this item. and so, the real question, i mean that there are a lot of questions, but the real question is this enough money and it isn't enough money. but the staff plan the budget committee i think, judged to be a wise and investment of these funds for professional development and for technology for the most part, i just really wanted to complete that report on this item by pointing out that the bells are ringing. oh, but that, one of the main issues of discussion in the state budget this year will be advocacy to try to get more, one time dollars for implementation of the common core state standards and it,

one piece of information is that the last time that the state adopted strapped aders, there was a much more money available for professional development and the whole stal edge of technology and the new assessments that will be all done on the computer was not an issue at that time. so, that is the thing to look out for. and this plan does include a plan for further investments and remember that this so-called one time money is being spent over two years but there are plans which will obviously impact our general funds, significantly if more one time money is not forth coming from the state thank you. >> and i can thank you, commissioner wynns and i think that we need a reading of the recommendation by... okay, thank you. >> thank you, president, before i read this into the record, i just wanted to point out that

there is a corrected version of this resolution. and there is made available to the board members earlier. today, and the corrected version is also available to the public on the desk outside. and it has also been placed on the district's website today. so, i will now read the requested action, the first reading of the common core state standards implementation funds spending plan for fiscal year, 13, and 14,was held at ihe business and budget services commiltee meeting on wednesday, february 5'h, 2014. this is the second reading and adoption ofthe common core state standards implementation funds spending plan. the requested action is for the board ofeducation ofthe san francisco unified school district and the san francisco county office of education approve the attached common core state standards implementation funds spending

plan for the fy 13-14 and fy 14-15 to enable san francisco unified school district and san francisco county of education to support student achievement and learning ofthe new common core state standards, as well as prepare studenls for the 21st century skills needed to graduate college and careerready. >> i don't think that i need to read out the background. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> i think that is fine, thank you. >> any public speakers in seeing none... oh, yes. susan solomen. >> make it to the gym this morning this will do. thank you. i had one question about the items that are budgeted, and that in particular for the professional development and so there is one category that says that professional development for teachers and administrators, para educators and para professional educators or classified employees involved in the direct

instruction of the pupils the items in the descriptions describe the pd for the staff and designated for the classroom staff and i have not seen anything for the para professional and i don't see it going on for para professionals and so i just wanted to raise that question and concern to make sure that we all get trained, thank you. >> thank you, miss solomen. >> could i have a motion and a second on the ratification of agreements between the san francisco district and charter schools and operational memo of understanding. >> we didn't have a vote. >> so sorry. >> and i have a question. >> you see i am going so quickly here. trying to get out of here. sorry. >> yes. >> i wonder if i have a question about the technology for smarter balance? so, i see the technology budget

in here and it does not seem like enough for... so, how do we, you know, we ever going to have to administer and do we, i see that there is a pretty small, 2014, budget we are a pilot site for smarter balance and what is the technology to need to take the assessments when they are ready. so yes, the, so, basically the district is going to commit to make sure that the school sites have the sufficient technology and we are using a ratio of one to ten as suggested by the state and in order to meet the 12 week assessment window. and this actually exceeds that ratio because as part of that plan we want to make sure that for the lower grades, three through eight, that we do not have to split class sizes so

there is a cart of 40 or 45 depending on the class sizes so they can roll it into the class. so, we actually do exceed that for that purpose. and the amount may look small and part of the reason is because we want to make sure that we maintain the refreshed deviceses and so these will be leased over a three year period and so, this represents that first year lease. and the wireless is included in there as well and so we are going to make sure that all elementary schools have sufficient wireless to be able to run those carts in any classroom within there and it is not the greatest wireless but it will be sufficient to run those and there is extra support staff included in that number as well. >> so, you are confident that this budget is going to actually meet the needs of that we are going to have in 14, 15? >> yes. >> and we are going to learn a lot this year, and we have some

feedback last year and meeting with the teachers and that we are trying to figure out what to do with that feedback. and to see, if we can accommodate that and try to do a trial run and see if we can make that next year and so it is raised that particularly was in the high schools and it is going to be disruptive through the scheduling and can we test all students at once and how would that look? and so, you know, it is a brand new idea and so we have some ideas of how we might be able to do that and we actually move the school site to school sight and test all of the students at one and this budget does have sufficient devices in there to support all 11th graders plus a little bit extra. and so it is a different way of thinking. and so this is going through, lots of things in flux and we are talking about 5,000 device
