10:32 pm
manager to sign the memo of agreement with the school district, specifically, around professional development, of teachers, and tied to sfpuc equal literacy goals in the different enterprises and so that is what this is for and it replaces, mla that we have, for the similar types of work with the school district that is expiring. the school board member is talking about these during tap station and so through the budget process, as part of the ad back process that the board of supervisors identifies resources, and then, the types of priorities that they think is important. and they are working on it to identify the add back process to support more going into the schools. and so that, there are resources we have not come back to you with that. but just got finalized through the budget process in the last couple of weeks. >> that is what i was hoping to

10:34 pm
to insure that our kids are coming into the 22nd century and we have actually gone as far as hiring a stem director to make sure that our stem curriculum is intact and that we are delivering the solid core curriculum as the changes to education, are coming forward, with the common core. and i cannot tell you what an opportunity it is to have a puer c, be part of building that infrastructure for cool district, this is such an experience that our kids will have to work more closely with the puc and to be part of the family in a very different way. and so i just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the work that you have been doing and for opening up these great opportunities for our kids. and in addition to the 140,000, you also invest in our assisting the building director at the school district and that too, has been a way for us to save energy and, to think about what our school district could
10:35 pm
be contributing to in terms of making our environment a better place and the puc has been an incredible lead on that. and in addition to that the mayor has been instrumental in bringing forward some additional dollars for our middle school leadership initiative and which is putting the tea part in stem. and so our technology has been upgraded and we have the infrastructure in place where the wifi is in all of the elementary schools and we have been delivering the devices to all of the schools and so part of what we want to be able to share with our kids is the opportunity early on is to bring forward the stem education and again this is yet, another step in the right direction and so, on behalf of the school district, and on behalf of the mayor's office we just want to thank you for this incredible partnership. and we look forward to working closely with you in the coming years. >> thank you for your service. >> thank you. >> i think that commissioner

10:37 pm
this, helps to get constitutionalize the wo*rk that we need to do in order to get the children we had educated and help all of them, you know, grow and raise their family and so i look forward to the relationship and thank you for the kind words. >> it has been moved and it has been seconded is there any further public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i will call for a vote. all of those in favor, signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> and the motion carries, madam secretary, the next sit item please? >> would you like me to read the closed session items before i call public comment? >> please do. existing claim joan and peter cuddihy.
