9:14 pm
record >> so moved. >> thank you president fewer i'd like to ask superintendent to read it. >> so the requested action is that the board of education approves the other plan or l cap for the san francisco county of education and san francisco unified school district keeping fiscal year 2014-2015 through 2016-2017 subject to annual updates. so actually, i think the 2016 yeah, that's correct if i can provide a little bit of information regarding the item before you and this is summarized in the language under background. as the commissioners know you approved the first l cap for the district at our i believe it was the june 24th meeting and that
9:15 pm
was submitted to the california board of education later that week and over the summer we got feedback as i am guessing many other district and communities got feedback upon their review of the submission and they give us item a few items of feedback listed on the bottom of the background language. and they were very minor not problematic in our view it didn't take long to incorporate the feedback but asked the changes to be made i'll ask the board to adapt the changes. just to go through the 4 specific changes they recommended one was that the l
9:16 pm
cap be separated for the county office of education versus t unified school district so our view covered the county and district responsibility but the california board of education asked us to separate the l cap from the district with the county l cap any references to kindergarten be removed and that's okay. number 3 was that in both the county and district l cap they wanted us to include a reference to the take care accrediting as one of the elements the states
9:17 pm
priorities specified in the regulation and finally for number 4 in the county l cap include the references for the foster youth and for coordinating services for the dispelled youth in the county related to the county office all i have those were be incorporated into the revised versions and those versions are not red lined if you want i can point you to the changes they're all very minor. those revisions are on our website in english and spanish. if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them commissioners >> commissioner. >> i don't have issues with the proposed amendment but in the last 3 meetings we've taken up
9:18 pm
the l cap i've requested our partners be acknowledged as one of the organizations that was very much a part of the community communication i asked they be listed as partners involved? process it's important to communicate that we work closely with our labor partners in developing this i ask they be bulleted under the process that we're impounded and we discussed this i'm disappointed it does appear so i'd like to get an amendment to the organizations that they be listed formally as organizations we included in the consultations.
9:19 pm
>> any other questions or comments. i just have one i wanted to know so we're separating the l cap from the skufd from the county so i wanted to know that during our discussion with parents and groups did we have my representatives from our carefully that represents the is the in our county program >> i know the answer is yes but i can't specific which schools and scanning the room to see if ms. williams before that time is here she's probably in a better position to provide the details frankly than i am. >> thank you georgia.
9:20 pm
>> i don't have exact figures but when he convened wi the stakeholders that served the county group they were part of the conversation. >> so we had guardians and parents present that's great. i think did we have student voices as part of the program >> that i can't speak. >> i think it would be helpful now we're separating the two and there maybe a different focus over and over something to add so thank you very much. next. commissioner wynns >> thank you. okay. so i that seems like the request from the state we had a separate l cap from the board of
9:21 pm
education is a bureaucratic mistake i think they don't understand so i'm going i want to study this but i want us to write them a letter and say okay. we did that but our county of succession e education is sgrathsd with our school district this is about spending money we spend lots of money out disgust before you get u budget those students are our students i'd like them to be more integrated not separated so i think as a matter of policy we ought to or your opinion okay. we've done this so mr. and mrs. bureaucrat is no the the the reason we did this in the first
9:22 pm
place >> are you saying i'll write to mr. and mrs. bureaucrat. >> so commissioners, i actually will go to the staff and confer with the county superintendent but actually we'll talk about that and bring that to the policy committee and then we'll craft a letter as well. >> great we'd be compliant by passing this that doesn't mean 53 we should follow-up this is i want us to do it the way you want it not put $0.50 in this budget and 20 in the next. >> thank you also deputy superintendent please note the commissioners request to add in our labor partners s c a u and u
9:23 pm
s f f. >> i don't think that's a problem i want to make sure that commissioner the comments you made that wasn't disregard the distinction is there's a specific group of organizations working with the district several of the organizations that are listed that coordinated a specification community process and usa f and the other one participated in some of the activities around community engagement around the l cap but not organized through the district and not originated through that effort so they have a forum and members of the district and commissioners
9:24 pm
attend that that was a parallel effort for the district connected effort per say it's might be splitting hairs but that's the intention behind the list there's no problem in the eyes of the organization i wanted to comment why the list appears as that appears as far. >> thank you superintendant commissioner maufas. >> so in the regards to mr. and mrs. bureaucrat conversation. so i understand the superintendant policy and operations and i'm going to seem but i'm actually asking have we had legal council weighing in on
9:25 pm
the separation of the the entities and why we've done such is there any opinion? >> there's not. >> okay. continue on to the letter to mr. - and no opinion that's very helpful >> maybe i misconstrued the opinion and we didn't ask if you personally - >> (laughter). >> the question is should we look at the question of the legal requirement but i'll look at it. >> good commissioner maufas. any more comments from the board roll call vote >> mrs. jones. commissioner chin oar commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell.
