children in our school district i'm a 20-year-old veteran i'm experiencing issues i would like to have address i have one son in the top school in san francisco. he has been going there a year and a half from rosa parks he's 8 years old i have a 6-year-old who is going into first grade. last year, i was told there was no room a waiting list. that didn't work last year and again, i was told there is no room two classes of 22 students each i'm feeling that i do have mental health issues that would be hardship policy i'd like to know if a class is full how do

you deal with the hardship policy and the diversity problem i feel in the school not that that want my children both to go to the school but it's 85 percent chinese and the rest is the rest of nationalities i want to know the diversity how we deal with that it's in chinatown johnson is the top school i see more diversity compared to john chin and there's other issues that i feel that i know there are students i have gone to the mayor and the supervisor and going to go to the media to address this issue i'm feeling i'm not getting any support

>> thank you very much. mr. steel would you mind taking the information so we can have appropriate people follow-up >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> mr. york. >> good evening, commissioners. deputy superintendents and president fewer. my name is jason i'm trying to get my daughter into our local elementary we remember the local school is a at the center of the community our children grow and boom that's why my wife and i move forward to cool valley we're learning a rule saying our chandler child can't be part of the community. when it comes to admission priority i understand the intention but the execution is extremely problematic the flaws

and issues the school system can't be completed in on crosstown bus i see how putting children into low districts to raise the scores it shouldn't be sacred at the others the children at coal valley have a been attending school and playing in the parks and the shared experience is being taken away from them instead of juggling kids between sklgz i think the school district should make every school district better from the hunters point to the man or woman if the city can do that we will have time to talk with our children about what they learned instead of how many buses and trains it took

for them to get to school thank you very much >> thank you. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> hello, everyone my son was assigned to john but actually, we choose to go to washing and

lincoln. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> tilt we live in sunset so washington and lincoln is very close to our house my son since in fourth grade is leon violin so he is looking to go to a high school that has an ornament program so i hope the superintendents will help us solve this problem. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and because john is so far away from our house and difficult to send my son to john

o con everyday in order to send him to school and put another layer of burden into our low income status so i hope the superintendent can look at our case and help us out. >> thank you, everyone. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> (speaking foreign language.) >> hello, everyone i really understand the parents how she felt and actually and i have the similar experience as the other speaker.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> okay. so just now i heard from you all people talking about we do all the things for the good of the students, however, i have a series case here because my girl is not going to school right now i want to bring out this problem and hopefully, i'll get help from you speeding i have to say

that system in skufd is without equality because we choose 5 schools you, however, we were assigned to a school that's not our choice how come we don't listen and try to check into the choice of the student my girl not going to school instead of going to the school she didn't like i hope you provide a safe

and quiet and comfortable place for the student to learn so they can shine >> (speaking foreign language.) >> actually, i brought my girl to burton the school she was assigned to, however, she didn't like the environment so she choose not to go to school. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so here as a parent i really asking help from you to hope you can really consider our

case and help her help to assign her to the school she wants. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> hello, everyone i'm here to speak for my grandson. he was assigned to requested to go to balboa, however, he was not assigned to that school he was crying everyday and not wanting to go to school

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> so actually his mom kind of passed away some time ago and i'm his grandchildren he was very sad that's why he asked me to speak to you and hopefully get help from you. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> well, actually he went to

a middle school near balboa park for a few years he really liked the neighborhood he had set in his mind he want to go to balboa high school he was not assigned to that school and disappointed that's why it is make we wondering why do you provide us the choice options, however, we choose the school we didn't get the assignment for the school of our choose so i'm thinking the school districts assignment policy is fooling us around.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> so i'm here to kind of strongly asking you to help us to place my grandson to the school he wants and i can see he might want to skip classes or he might want to quit so i don't know i'm the guardian so i don't know how to do when that happens. >> okay. thank you very >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> hello, i'm a mother of 3 kids ail my 3 kids are going to the 3 schools many in the west and east areas so any date applied for a school 5 minutes from our house; however, assigned to a school like today it tookized two hours. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> well about my family my father passed away and my mom had depression and i'm thinking

i can spend little time to send my kids to the school so i can have more time to take care of my mother speeding i hope you can check our case and help us out thank you. >> okay public comment is now closed mr. sandyer son will you please meet with the parents that just spoke they're in need of interpreters so, please interpreters would be mind helping mr. sandyer son he is in charge and w will take the information from the parent and

speak to the educational placement center thank you very much mr. san leandroer son. okay item k advisory committee any committee appointments to be announced by board members seeing none, special order of business may we have a motion and second for the 2014-2015 local control and other plan for the san francisco county of education and the san francisco unified school district who will read the recommendation into the 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 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 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 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 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. >> 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. >> i don't have exact figures but when he convened with 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 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
