if this was very rushed but willie brown we haven't opened a new school in many, many years and the reputation of schools as you know i think p p.s. knows better than anyone their reputation of schools just stays there for a very long time even though for example, we've build a fabulous school i'd send my grandchildren if i had any but i'm still hearing its mission high school it's hard this pipeline of information from the background it stays and stays and stays and makes it so people don't give schools a second chance and a second look this what we're proposing here is take a second look at what
3:31 pm
we're proposing we're building something fabulous here and we want you to come and see it and come and try it and we so building in this that in 3 years your child about get out to my high school and compete with them i agree with my colleagues we could get rid of number 5 but not two booklets to be translating to identify been to the fair it's a stack of stuff like this another thing i'm fumbling with there's a separate application because the book and map it is just to you would vote for one booklet one source of information that's correct and valid and translated and easy to understand and concise and not
3:32 pm
hard to navigate that's the main problem so and i'd do 0 leap of faith and try this we can always amend it i don't see anyone coming up with a better idea how to different and bring back a robust enrollment to willie brown and give it an opportunity to be an excellent school i think we're ready for a vote after the superintendent speaks >> so thank you, commissioners i know you're about to undertake a lot of sdirgsz at the beginning of the school year john berkley championed us to think beyond universityism and targeting universityism i'm
3:33 pm
bringing up up any notes target the means identifying the problem by magazine allowed people and bringing up in a scope to cover as many people as possible your prospering target lynching but talking about the one zip code targeting the universalism is achieveable okay to be we have a waiting list for willie brown junior middle school so i think this is absolutely we can talk about process and appreciate everybody's candle stick point about process it's important but more important and what is even more important right now is making sure that those residents of 94124 the board is said it's our priority we operate within dr. powell calls the target i
3:34 pm
ever tellism about e-cigarette the needs of our residents ♪ zip code >> thank you to the speakers for calling it out and thank you keeping us accountable and thank you for reminding us about a process that should be more inclusive i appreciate that voice having said tha having said thathaving said that - i doubt that thank you, mr. kellerman i think ms. casco we're ready for a vote on the amendment. >> the amendment commissioner wynns is on the second page page 35 of the resolution .5 in the policy it is on page had 4.5; is that correct being deleted thank you very much mr. haney. >> you clarifying the
3:35 pm
amendment. >> deletion of .5 and on board policy 44 that he bottom .5. >> can i have a point of clarification was there another amendment on the floor that only deletes one of them. >> no, that number went. >> so, now whether or not we're going to read all i have them .5 those 4 schools. >> uh-huh. >> did we get a response i apologize did we get a responded from ms. limb about that in terms of your thoughts on how that will impact i don't get the responded on that okay. >> the response. >> can you see say that again i understand the tiebreaker piece
3:36 pm
but the accomplishment of the goals of removing all the schools in the city. >> well, i think those schools were selected i mean 3 of the 4 schools were selected because of the critical mass of 91424 students that taken those schools they'll get a preference through the 92414 preference so i don't think those are students will be impacted because a they have that. >> that's point number 3 commissioner .3 theirs included in the 3. >> i understand by the way, clearly we knew that before tonight but they're still in the proposal and nobody is defending them staying there on staff if tyler in the proposal so
3:37 pm
detective superintendent. >> one other point this is august timeframe so in addition to the practical effect of setting the tiebreakers should the school the cohort be over subscribed we hope will happen we're unclear right now there was another part of the thinking that has to do with designating alleged schools as having a link to willie brown whether or not there was an over subscription a prompt for conversations to take place around outreach and recruitment to 8 schools rather than the 4 schools and the general fifth grade cohort
3:38 pm
another part of the thinking we decided that at the student assignment committee and committee as a whole. >> so can i make one comment i'm not sorry i want to not support the amendment in hearing this i was about to vote for the amendment when you called for it it make me think there's been a lot of staff work and discussion into the proposal i feel like i feel safer trusting accident staff work when we discussed the double feeder idea i'm okay with the change moving down the mira loma and other schools to lessen their preference but we were clear that we would this would allow the boarder pool of a more difference school and look at it
3:39 pm
this in two or three years and re-evaluate the feeder so this again is not a permanent situation so i guess i feel more comfortable given there's unknowns we don't know what people are going to choose i'm more comfortable going with the original staff analysis i think a fair amount of time was spent on that then changing on the fly and back in 2010 when we switched do order of preference a lot of people thought we shouldn't have done that so i am not going to support this and i'll urge any colleagues not to support it either. >> commissioner wynns and dr. murase. >> that seems ironic throwing in the high school thing and
3:40 pm
taking this out it seems like a little thing compared to doing this high school thing and besides that the more important part they work against each other the theory of the high school preservation to do more outreach to all fifth graders to the families of all students rather than pick a few schools and urge people to vote for the amendment i think we'll it be less confusing and i'm not supportive of the do you only feertdz it creates confusion and president fewer stated by he creating the two choices under the additional schools your drawing people away from willie brown we want to be clear that
3:41 pm
are the schools that are feeders to willie brown and introducing the high school feeders i'm to target the high school feeder to those schools harvard through malcolm x rather than expand to 8 schools we want to keep it targeted so i'll continue to support the amendment. >> ms. cap is going to call the roll. >> i'll sass say those schools have two feeder schools and no other elementary school does we know we've heard people who are unhappy with their feeder school and there's going to say why those schools i feel like so i
3:42 pm
just want to say this one thing i'm feeling bad about not having mr. kellerman having two more minutes because he's waited so long and part of our sfusd family and continues to be see as a parent then she has something to say about you speak. >> number 2 has two feeders and mroep to take those out of 5 but the schools in group two will have two feeders we propose to not take everyone's feeders away only adding to willie brown. >> well, the schools in 5 have not two feeders but a preference to a feeder. >> but the schools in number 2
3:43 pm
would have two there's schools that have two and one one. >> that's what you call quite frankly that's what you call equality mr. circling man. >> i'll be brief as a member of the audience as somebody if didn't have the information after you take the vote that someone read the amendment about the transition sorry about the sunseting if you don't put it in the record you're not acting legally this is to be done, and, secondly, more subject u sunset active a little bit concerting it's hard to evaluation if you're going to have enough information after 3 years when you have to make another
3:44 pm
decision about the next in coming class it's getting nor complicated you have to think about that it has to be read anti loud and is if fittings that's taking into consideration. >> when they said it was read into the record. >> excuse me. mr.cardial man thank you for bringing it to our attention please read that one more time for our listening public. >> well, let's there's amendment but lets you read the last paragraph there. >> i am the president please read the last paragraph. >> the last paragraph this new
