4:30 am
the idea i wouldn't call it a spill enrollment incite we should put in something we know i'm not against the feeder as we said we're prospering we're not proposing to break the feeder pattern this is a big discussion this it is big list we're going to have to explain this to people those elementary schools have other elementary schools they feed into and i want to point out something before he have an amendment on the floor and if 924124 is a higher priority than the brown preference and a dr. murase said i believe to be true we carefully looked at those schools before we had the high school thing that changes the analyze completely i don't have
4:31 am
enough information but if we want to give american people advantage or push to the people that live in the 2414 that go is to the middle school 91424 we could take that preference out because they live in the 1424 because the second thing is that so i think that as to having some kind of additional prouch i think this is a good idea it's a good marketing tool this is about willie brown we have a special thing for willie brown so i still think based on is what everything everybody's said we could take it out frankly i'm nervous about making changes
4:32 am
without the community but i think that really based on no take all number 5 out completely that's actually, the amendment i made that's open the floor and based on what people said it seems like it won't matter the kids we're targeting have the higher preference in the 91424 preference i'm going to support the idea we kind of do both go ahead with some of this i'm okay but for the record when we say to do this as 3 years it's actually 6 years from now there are not going to be it's actually seven years because we started the school year no kids 3 years from now so that's itself kind of thing i would
4:33 am
have liked the planners to give me the information about how that works anyway we're seeing some of that with the middle school feeders but we were surprised how quickly they've been supportive we should consider doing special printing or prouch that explains it. >> so i'm still mulling offer to withdraw my proposal because i was going to ask her to modify her amendment i think i heard her say that 91424 a higher preference staff recommends if the seats don't get the seats filled their empty seats we draw from the schools so i guess my question is to
4:34 am
darlene about that how important what impact does removing this tiebreaker do to overall enrollment. >> i think your quay was wloovr whether or not we could fill empty seats not choice requested and the answer i believe would be no, because that wouldn't be considered their feeder because as the the freerd we'll designate to the feeder if the choices were not met bus with the toy breaker system the 4 schools mentioned would not be considered feeders they don't have the same i guess not the same weigh so their opportunity of getting designated there they
4:35 am
might be designated there first of all, there was no space at the that's right feeder so we'll designate the closest school not playing out the dismay as the feeder. >> we don't want to undermine the feeder system and persuaded by commissioner wynns doesn't have an impact on the students i urge we try to keep the information in one book we're risk people getting different levels of information they don't get the supplemental or the special brochure and not in the book he so i urge we go ahead with the decision tonight and try to get it included both a single book i'll be supporting
4:36 am
the amendment. >> thank you did you have something to say? so excuse me. i'm just tired i know i shouldn't show it i want to say that yeah. i can get rid of number 5 since 91424 we should have the discussion about it because i feel like c tip and just free reduced lunch we're target the people we originally put the c tip in this student assignment plan process whatever it is and that's why we destined it was to give a perch to those students because we believed the majority of those students living in c tip one were also free and reduced lunch i agree that that commissioner commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell
4:37 am
if we trial want to serve the students it should be c tip one and you qualify for free reduced lunch i said in kindergarten we might get more people filling up they're free by which barn frankly that's a whole another discussion i was quiet when you spoke i have the floor because my light is on so i'm saying that in the future i think we should have the discussion but i do think that when we voted on the student assignment process we xhrng knew it would evolve and change we would look at it and tweak it we've land use & economic development also said that and any board member who says that doesn't have a good
4:38 am
memory i thought we all agreed we would tweak and look at it results and is it getting us the same thing we have racial isolation in those schools and neighborhood and those schools so if anyone can think of a better idea where the student assignment up four printing deadlines and also oh, so i guess we're ready to vote on it on the amendment excuse me. one second i think that so i want to say that the process isn't perfect and but we as a system we're imperfect too i think we need to acknowledge that we don't also do things like we should do and do things with the process i agree with the commissioners we should have had a more open
4:39 am
process and i also want to own 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
4:40 am
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
4:41 am
understand and concise and not 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
4:42 am
targeting universityism i'm 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
4:43 am
dr. powell calls the target i 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.
4:44 am
>> you clarifying the 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
4:45 am
understand the tiebreaker piece 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
4:46 am
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
4:47 am
general fifth grade cohort 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
4:48 am
difference school and look at it 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
4:49 am
in the high school thing and 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
4:50 am
drawing people away from willie brown we want to be clear that 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
4:51 am
those schools i feel like so i 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.
4:52 am
>> but the schools in number 2 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
4:53 am
you have to make another 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.
