believed we went beyond what was required we had a good foundation with the work like the budget and the participation level and the facilitating outreach with other partners so i'm kind of interested to hear back from you after you go through the meeting about kind of what generally parent think about that because i know that we are and i'm pleased we're addressing this on with a theory of continuous improvement and not waiting and thinking this is something we had two months auto out of the year but use this as an opportunity to drive our work of community outreach generally so that was interesting to me but the other thing the comment that was made by the representative from ed trust west their
12:31 pm
disappointed that the el caps - the district hadn't done nor innovative things with their emancipation proclamation e el cap resources and the example that he gave was they were disappointed the districts hadn't done things like extending the school year or school day and so i simpleminded i don't know the single district that got enough money to extend the school day are you chris's subsequence of doing things they couldn't be done they said, yes the plan should say that's what we're going to do in the future i believe the plan should be more based in reefgs this is what we think help us towards the vision or in the direction in which we want to go that's
12:32 pm
what we want to be talking to the parents and the community members about we want them to be engaged in 9 how can we the evidence will then show those resources which are small but still are that's what we're trying to do is say how can those resources help us to spur our own commitment to innovation so i'm kind of saying this one i think that is important to know the kind of discussion that's take place at the stale level of the exception and second i think i'm very interested and i think we did a fairly good job in having a reality based discussion in the el cap with the resources and some notable exceptions that were unadorable by mostly i think we did okay.
12:33 pm
i'm interested in making that kind of discussion deeper not tossing it away as an el cap not doing the things we can't do i'm hoping you report book to the meeting about the kind of questions and how their discussed with other people that are committed to the outreach thank you. >> response or are you good okay. cool thank you for your work and report. >> public comment on content items f none together and item g consent calendar is there a motion and second. >> move the consent calendar and second. >> second. >> items withdrawn or corrected by the superintendent? yes commissioner vice president haney we have one item being withdrawn a resolution 153 dash

12:41 pm
saying this we should be paying attention this is a lot of money almost a million dollar we should be doing everybody to candidate this to hire the translators that's one of the things given we had an unanticipated need for services so the process civil service process han has been slow so expedite that i'm really, really hoping we don't get anymore contracts for this kind of services not this particular money those kinds of dollars okay. >> comments okay roll call vote on k 21. >> thank you, commissioner. >> ms. sonata. >> can you come back to me.

12:47 pm
it is rolling out and whether we're making sure that the teachers are supported and the students are supported people's 3 at the high school and elementary level and into why the district is taking the direction on that issue i think i coasted who was a busy curriculum. >> the report from the budget and business services committee commissioner. >> thank you commissioner vice president haney we met on march 4 we had two action items the authorization for the kip bayview academy charter school and the kip academy charter school the committee forwarded both of those back to the board with a positive recommendation we had an update open our new rainy day fund which say i think we've heard about before
12:48 pm
it is interesting to learn a little bit more how is it works and the city's rainy day fund based on prop c biefkd and portion of it is now a available for the for the for the school district to use this is a positive thing and always good to have a rainy day fund fund when it starts to rain maybe it will rain soon (laughter) not that kind of rain another kind of rain we heard the student budget is good and actually we're 58 percent towards the full funding of the lcff which is ahead of where it ahead of schedule with that
12:49 pm
said the governor is thrifty and made proposals that we don't like as much he's given us $1.1 billion not us but school districts $1.1 billion it is suggested we use that for common core commendation but said that will offset the disbursement we're due for unfunded mandate from the states that is sneaky and we don't like as much we heard from the superintendent deputy lee the development for the 2015-2016 school year we're allocating $7 million in new money some goes to the central office support and $2 million for additional priorities there is a very, very long list of priorities that we have
12:50 pm
developed and so making choices and decisions about which priorities to fund continues to be challenging i think this is pretty much it on the budget update yep our next meeting as at budget committee will be april 9th and may 21st and june 3rdrd. >> thank you, ms. casco i want to mention the student assignment will meet on april 13th. >> thank you scomploern a report from the city and select committee commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> you're on. >> thank you so we had two items we converted our last committee meeting the i
