to have a job i placed by the rules and now i'm asking for my job to be given back to me, i'm asking that h.r. management start working with the my own this is on fair. >> thank you. (clapping.) >> good evening, commissioners president fewer and superintendent carranza my name is yvonne and i'm the president of the local i'm here on behalf of the my members vernon has been a good employee that worked for a number of years for the san francisco unified school district does not have a blemish in his evaluations he's placed by the rules he was simply told he was going to be laid off because he

didn't fit in the restructuring of the plan for human resources given to him lift ev'ry voice and sing by his director in human resources you see when the restructuring was coming about she should have invited the union so if this situation was a coup we could have worked with her to make sure our member was going to be place somewhere not 40 to be kicked out of the strict and set on the curve this is a veteran we have enough veterans outs otsz on the street nothing but their hands out it is only fair to be restated into the skfth giving given his job back until we're finished going through the grievance process we're at step two not even a chance to finish with the grievance step this is

a shame an outrage and i'm appalled we're all appalled the district has done a number of wrong things to our members it's high times we do the right thing to do we want to have a good working relationship with the human resources director listen to what we're saying and help us to help our members don't just kick us out on the curve we've worked so long without us you couldn't run the school district none none of this would be going on our members are behind the lines you running the rooms with the lights on and if we leave you guys are in the dark listen to what we say and run state vernon back and wait until he gets a job in the city and go on

would the process. >> i'm not sure i can follow that let me try the broader prospective so as yvonne mentioned we've been grateful to have a less function relationship since the new director took office that's been helpful because there's a lot of things to work together we like working together rather than being angry i hate being angry so we were hopeful that we would experience the same thing with the chief of human resources there's other changes in the human resources that has been positive but this is an unworkable wanting we can't endorse the civil serve rules our member has rights he was

kicked out of the district without a position in the city the district doesn't file his paperwork with the other districts going to work with him it's unfair to him and easy to fix his work is still there in the human resources department would no one to do that let him continue with his work 88 guidance is part of his portfolio and the management of the human resources management is important and something or something that's not being done because our member is at home not working so, please let him get back to work human resources is too important to leave undone. >> president fewer and board of education and superintendent carranza and ladies and

gentlemen, i'm the union representative of s steel 1021 in san francisco school district i hate to get angry that's what my brother said but i'm getting angry the way the new human resources director treat us at the confer process and the city has not responded to the unions request for continuance negotiations she if listen to our advise in the rules and she even gave us not good signal in terms of norwalk with his in good faith this is not the beginning of a pro traffic fight with the district if you remember during the and/or 1021 has filed cases over cases because the human resources at

that time was craving hostilities with the union this is the beginning of our demonstration to showing show that 1021 is not going to tolerate those practices we just want her to consider the civil service rules and bumming her out of her position she said she's doing the job so she can get out from under the district for her to not consider to bump the people that are not permanent civil service is not good for our relationship we are not going to just sit back and listen to what she going to say we're going to be 5th back i was the driving from our local union and you know

we're going we're not going to stay away. >> thank you. next speaker, please mr. solomon. >> i have a question before i start, i put two subjects on my card yes. i can speak on both of them i'm sorry ms. solomon i got the card after we spoke about. >> this was any intention. >> you can speak about in general but not specifically about the two items we voted on today so feel free. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners susan solomon unit workers of

san francisco i'm up here speaking in support of mr. passion, prejudice i don't think we've worked with him often he's one of the point people important reasonable accumulation he's put reasonable in the reasonable consumptions he's caring and kind and realistic so he doesn't stripping our members along if they can't get their accommodations he's helpful we're saddened he's been let go he's a valuable employee as for the other matter i wanted to speak to in light of the fact we're in negotiations right now and chapter school the students of chapter school employees have been award a benefit that our members have been denied that's the preference for enrolling their students their own

children in their schools we'll be amending our demands at the bargaining table thank you thank you (clapping.) okay. so i have a list of other people that signed up to speak. (calling names) so sorry i can't read our last name come on up and press the bum and identify yourselves. >> i'm lisa i'm a mother of a sixth grader at heros as man it has handled several very difficult situations around the death and suspect of murder of

two children in our school our vice principal was taken is a harsh word but charged with a different responsibility days before our school started he's gone and we wish him well, we want him to serve the district in a different way but i'm here because we're talking about something imitate the lack have teachers in the classrooms so we know that tdr 62 teaching positions and 60 paraprofessional jobs unfilled in the district there are kids 20 to thirty depending on the grade level sitting there without a teacher in our case the spartan arts teacher, however, the district has also placed 2 hundred highly

qualified teachers into teaching our special assignment positions that keeps them out of the classroom it is true that san francisco is an extraordinarily expensive place to live but 60 but 62 minus 2 hundred that's a leadership human resources issue not a pipeline issue if you don't have enough teachers in the classroom i see the pipeline but as a nonprofit manager this is a leadership and human resources allocation issue while i've learned a lot waiting for the last two hours it's timely the last person was taken off of h.r. there's an h.r. issue so, please do way, those children will not be in second or

thirsted or fourth or fifth grade again, they need the teachers now you have them so move them around thank you very much. >> hello, i'm maria a parent after a sixth grade at horace man, i want to talk about the lack of a spanish teacher many people within the sdrirth they're saying their filling the position this is wonderful i can only hope the replacement will be of the same high caliber of the teacher hired we not got

answers to qualification why not processes in june when hired who was responsible for mr. prayer not getting his transfer and why was the district not able to resolve the problem what processes are being put in place to share this process didn't happen none of the questions have been answered if it's true there's a general lack of spanish teachers the h.r. department d department shall have done everything to make sure the teacher was able to come to work when the school year started the parents need to know how the district will share this will not happen again and our lack of 0 sixth grade spanish teacher we think the district should be working on

filling the open teacher positions and leaving the classroom teachers and attempting to rouse grace size as opposed to putting the teachers on special assignment they need to look at the hiring for accountability in putting children first thank you. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm karen i'm the mother of two girls at buena vista horace man one in sixth and one in 7th grade they went to the school for the spanish program now any 78th grader has here spanish development with a substitute teacher and my sixth grade teacher has the spanish development with the substitute teacher who's spanish is at a

lower level daily asked her what happened in school today and very little instruction is going on last week they watched school of rock and the other day they planned a birthday party in the nearly two hours of her day everyday we're going into our sixth week of school this is disappointing i know that our principle went and requested we have one of those teachers on special assignment come and fill the position and that was asked to use one of our paraprofessionals i believe to help fill the position and they the kids are being served by those other teachers are really

borderline we can't take resources away from the children so tsas sound wonderful and great i think all of our teachers deserve the coaching, however, it isizing on the cake when i don't have a teacher in the classroom that's is what comes first, i encourage you all to really work on getting all of those open positions in the district filled thank you. >> good evening, commissioners matthew a parent of two kids at heros as man, i come with deep replacement superintendant and staff i sat in that seat for a long time but i think you can do better for the children's at horace mann when the conditions create the conditional use

authorization conditions for schools to improve one is a effective staffing principles have to be able to hire teachers that can execute the positions frankly our principle is doing her part working hard to insure that english learners are getting the instruction and not getting enough of the help she is a good soldier this spring she hired a spanish arts teacher of the qualify commitments and months later they said the teacher was ineligible because of a visa problem i want you to know the messages we've heard the teacher has not come back and we're trying to find a replacement other schools are having

shortages and you should fill those i'm sorry it is not good enough not for our school or any the fact is the school district all the complexity if the contracts they/to work for our high priority schools not against them in this case only against them we expect a better solution thank you.
