11:33 am
discussion points and i fell in love with it. i want to applaud the staff which put it all together which i know was a lot of effort. i want to encourage future curriculum planning to be processed in the same way where it invites not only san francisco unified school district staff members, but also students and service providers. i really hope in the future outreach towards the students can be increased because i want to see more students voice their own experience and needs by themselves since at tends of the day, no one can represent us better than we can represent ourselves. i look forwards to seeing all the funding implemented in the future. the current style of teaching is not the best for all, but it shouldn't be completely erased either. i hope in the future we can have better ways to identify different styles of learning and follow up to support them properly. when a student feels comfortable in a classroom that is when they can thrive and
11:34 am
explore their capabilities and creativity. thank you for your time. >> thank you commissioner. is there any other public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. any final comments or discussion? blrt, i just want to thank members of the committee for their time today and of course our school district. really good discussion on both items. i want to recognize our clerk, and also sfgov tv for recording our meetings and making them available to the public. any other items? >> is there recommendation to this item? >> right. should we take a motion to file? and we have a motion to file. we can do that without opposition. finally i just wanted to say that because of the complexity of the budget season schedule we will be cancelling this
