side that offer the information but dr. valentine and i have seen a lot of teachers we help to gain those special shins and popular programs in use this would be helpful to be part of our memo so we want to do careful planning and have capacity to do the school system. >> i'll add president fewer the psychiatrist san francisco has been recognized for the approach of the common core and implementing the commoner core has not only been implementing our curriculum in the approach but our approach to balanced literacy builds been reading and writing skills that are being referenced in a special certificate it is not only a

specialized certificate it is our balanced approach to literacy is second to no one we'll have daisy and others present this to you so you see the rig rose and super quality work for the teachers and administrators are doing with the teachers across the district as well. >> thank you and then under our recommendation for access so where are we on one hundred percent of classroom in wifi activity, however, you say that is basic quite sfraeng is anyone here to answer that question from staff. >> good evening board of education superintendent i'm the technology officer and the

unified school district so where in the process inform wifi we don't have - we've covered every classroom in the middle grades thanks to the foundation and -- excuse-me. out of our common core state funds we're implementing wifi for the classrooms in all classrooms by march and it is a little bit different we can assess the signals but it is designed to run to 45 computers every classroom we don't have them identified to the this point in time. >> are there classrooms we've done? no high school meets what we feel we need for 21st century learning, however, 30 high schools have good wireless

mission lincoln and our two are the categorizing right now >> thank you very much superintendent i think you're going to give us an update. >> thank you president fewer and mr. cybercy as well i think the questions our asked are absolutely important questions we've done the analysis of what it does to make every clamor completely wireless less with enough abandon width for the 21st century technology within the digital plan we're bringing forward to the district the ball park figure is $190 million it is not a small ticket item but it is also highlights for us how important it is that we have been able to forge strong partnerships and with our

elected officials across van ness doing this in a cooperated way but that will be coming to the board as well. >> thank you superintendent. >> thank you so much for the presentation i hope that was informative to all of us but thank you very much commissioners any comments. >> scomplinz i appreciate the questions and session we've had it's clear many of the things we will do and not to do it's not we don't want to provide those things and this recent discussion of the wifi conservative so it's clear we're not going to go from where we are now both one step it seem like in response to those report sometime during the year the cac should be involved have a report

that tells us what kind of progress we can make so for instance, i don't think we're prepared and i don't know how exactly we'll do it would be an interesting conversation to have a reading specialist we can't do that it's expensive but i want to have a discussion and recommendation from the staff and ask them what they think to address the deficits we might have in reading instruction for kids that are disabled and everybody else so those kinds of things those are broad recommendations those are good to have those discussions and think about those things but i think the most helpful thing 2 to 3 the board especially, as part of our ongoing efforts to redesign and improve the services for disabled i kids is to have some response to this

which actually give us some about the specific plans and how we might get somewhere down the road to fulfilling those recommendations thank you. >> superintendent. >> so thank you president fewer i want to take it opportunity for the education for our hard diligent work i remember 6 years as a deputy superintendant going to my first take meeting and being expressed with the challenges we had in front of us (laughter) and quickly we had our special education audit that illustrated many areas we should be focused on i appreciate you've taken the audit to heart and if you've noticed we've been following a plan for addressing those issues

but hearsay also been very, very important a vacuum has been the substantive conversation about a thoughtful analysis where we are from a new prospective from a parent stakeholder prospective we've gone from a place of special education i send those kids to that room to get inclusion how offense is that to now every classroom is an inclusive classroom so we struggle with and how do we make that a reality it is the right struggle how to support our teachers and educators in the classrooms and how to support our students and how do we make sure we have enough you funding to support what's happening in the classroom i'm happy for the special ed cap we've moved from a place to a service

and now how we really, really ramp up our services that important the one thing i'm going to ask the board of education feels strongly i'm going to ask we stop talking about engagement we'll engage the parents so let's talk about parent reinforcement instead of engagement whether a parent which a student with disabled but a parent that has knowledge and owns the process is an empowered parent that's what we want and this evening we've had a presentation by folks helping to improve our system so thank you for all your work we appreciate what you do. >> thank you superintendant and

we had great expectations but like tiff under the toll linkage of the lady we thought we were looking at a bleak house now we don't want our children turned into the students like oliver deficit but provide for our children and get this over before some of us ended up singing christmas carols and hope we'll have the support of the district in reaching a settlement we're very pleased that in breaking away from mitigation and sitting down together with the district we've made some motion towards the kinds of things we need to do for settlement when you hear the superintendent revoke the rebound we need to see that in

the proposals from the district if you licensed to the people outside chanting you heard them talking about 3 percent won't pay my rent that's the kind of thing we're facing people in san francisco who work and live here the people that cannot come here because they can't afford to live and work here the paraprofessionals you want to track but the wages will not allow them to have a decent standard of living in san francisco those are the people we're representing and asking for raise foreclosure and those are the people we hope you'll have in mind as you go into the private closed session at the end of the meeting and talk about that. >> thank you mr. kelly >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>. >> thank you. next speaker, please hi, i'm dorsey shard a

speak i'm sarah sfusd parent of two children i want to speak to you and brings our attention to the teacher sxhvnt of inconsistently both teachers are absent from the classroom and my one daughters student resigned and her classroom is in week 5 and substitutes and even 5 days without a substitute and grade work my third grader teacher has taken 6 weeks of personal leaf starting on october 6th and my third grader has had inconsistent substances its been communicated that is due to the lack of substances in the district and obviously there's a bigger issue the district shortage because of the demand of the cost of living in san

francisco it is unfortunate this is happening to both of any children at the same time my concern about the residential grade level curriculum to the children at the les level of stress this might be a continual thing for the year according to/76 bill of rights and responsibility students have the right to number one a meaningful education that will be of value for the rest of their lives i feel this issue is being challenged for all the children in the classes at this moment i want to acknowledge the sprint richard is giving to the matter and the dedicated personal time at the harvey milk academy are giving to the children this is an important matter and if i didn't talk about this it will

be swept under the rug and our children will be forgotten our children and schools need help especially more sports to help our children feel like they're not being left behind our children are stressed depressed and it's to maneuvered physically in their children they'll coming home from school because their stomach acres and their crying who's any teacher and overall disruptive behavior in the classroom those past two months has undone most of the step forward process because the lawrence lack of economic support in the any families 6th

year at harvey milk academy we've been happen my children's experience and i'm a public school supporter and teacher myself i'veless felt there is no perfect - school and that you need to find a school you feel the most comfortable with their imperfections that is harvey milk and the important aspect are the strong quick teachers who put their heart and soul into teaching and the vision is teaching awareness and sense and non-violence and celebrating differences at&t all the while achieving the invention so, please board of education help our schools and our children and

teachers (clapping.) thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening honorable board members of education and superintendent carranza i'm the family liaison at buena vista and i'm here with you the work i do i work closely with our families to create collaboration among parents and teachers and principle to be to insure our families are actually part of the team of the children's education in particular with the unserved community i'm here to share some of the serious stories that are happening in particular with the parents one of any responsibility to cooperate our food bank we have a partnership with the u.s. food bank and 75 families that

participate and lastly we have 5 parents in our city hall's and 4 out of the 5 came to me and said if there's any foods left can i please, please save some for me this is something that tell us that when need to negotiate a contract that's not just a contractor that providing $0.10 were parents but adjust the creativity because it is to be able for our families to be able to live here in the city $0.10 is not judicial and to insure we have an equitable and just contracted it is not just a win for the families at the school not just a win for the students but all in particular for the city because many of our parents are not going to be standing in line for food i urge you to

negotiate a just contract for all of us thank you (clapping.) >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm megan a teacher anothers taylor elementary school been one for seven years this is my eight year i've worked with a lot of paraprofessionals i have great respect for them and i'm entirely disappointed it's hard to keep a consistent staff with the paraprofessionals because it seems like every year they move on to find a better paying job and have to retrain paraprofessionals and building the children and the paraprofessionals those are people that have excellent skills with work really hard and who deserve a stable work environment what they don't have

to leave immediately after school and jump in our cars and drive to the hotel just to make ends meet one of any paraprofessionals last year did that everyone stated on thursday she had to leave immediately to go home and shower and go to her night shift job from 5:00 p.m. to 6 hours later and going would go to bed and get up the next morning exhausted they left because we couldn't do those are two jobs and her other job paid more i'm not just asking more administrative review to stay at my job but the paraprofessionals will be able to stay in the city to do this job and dedicate their lives to the work in the schools rather than having to do apartment at the schools and

part time at the jobs they do at night. >> good evening. i'm sonya and i've worked in the district for about 15 years i started out my first love as a special ed par a i've ran an after-school program and now an advisors at malcolm x academy started out at an emergency room and now at malcolm so i'm here i guess to thrill any story in a sense i am a parent and to tell you guys to get this contract together i have two children i have a 35-year-old who is also following in my footprints she's running an after-school program
