>> thank you reverend brown>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening. i'm steven a 20-year k50ir7bd teacher and i see one of my students back there i'm here to address you on the things that are going on at john rivers elementary school it is an unsupportive place for students and staff under our current registration we've never had a emotional follow-up we've not been trained in the trauma practices some of our students suffer from trauma there are no circles and we don't have a positive behavior management system after 5 years the result have been tragic critical and tragic i'm not faulting the students

the behaviors are learned behaviors student fights occur daily and staff physically restrands children without knowing how to do so safely and students have been putting themselves between students that are fighting students are frequently out of classes stopping by other students classes and stopping learning there was a fight in the cafe the promise was present and two staff members were pulling the two students apart it was lila tug of war as the people were pulling the kids apart the outlet were were chanting who they wanted to win the principle expressed his sadness and accused the students of making the school a ghetto city hall i

want to public apologize from the principle john b elementary school is not my school it is our school thank you (clapping.) thank you, mr. brad again hoping hold the applause for all the speakers. >> i'm a tenth grade student ever since i was enrolled that or there was no support for my color at mission high school we have small business that worked with us and it is quite ironic the school board want to help to get to college but the money is disappearing this year we had over 34 historic black colleges come to our school and accepted students

on the spot as a st. joseph i was advised to wait we need an african-american advisor advisor. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm a senior at admission high school as well as the vice president of the high school ami i've been to the mission high school during my four years no one has supported like mission african-american advisor as an accepted to a college i never would have thought about or heard of our advisor gives support to those who don't have it at home removing her from her position makes it a loss for her and the family she's an mentor and that one person that pushes you so it

experience and be imposed to things that others may not be exposed to we need to keep our african-american with us we love her. >> thank you very much i have one last speaking i understand you were not here when i made the announcement those speakers must be given before the calls but i'll allow on exception. >> hello, i'm a junior at admission high school also the president of the body students i was shocked to hear as ms. linda jordan in the san francisco unified school district were even considered being halted being their jobs to help african-americans on the bottom had it comes to the rate of success i was scared because the

resources that policed jordan brings and already and sorry you're not allowed to speak by administrators by name if you want to address without the names. >> okay ms. bs u advisor ms. bs u advisor is (laughter) she's - okay. so i was scared because the resources that mr. advisor brings is amazing she has helped me with scholarships and college information and summer jobs and college opportunity and many things to make sure not only was i succeeding but excelling and getting ahead which is rare so those were the things i wouldn't have known about it it wasn't for ms. b u advisor so if

the goal of the sfusd to have all the students and programs succeed then the people and the people help the people of color needs a safe spot in the district and place to stay. >> thank you very much that concludes general public comment yes superintendent - >> thank you commissioner president murase i was motion to the folks in the audience this was the first time i've heard of that i'll have my staff to look at this and my assist for the leadership acknowledging to brief me open this particular situation those are the types of situations are not warden but

great to see a goal for the school district in general because it's to complete and thorough it's nice to see the changes after the first reading i'll say we need to be mindful it is heavy and the previous students that spoke at john and mission school they were talking about advisors for african-american students at mission high school after school sites liked practices at john muir so it's important we're mindful and see the school sites supplemented into the budget and making sure with the credit rove we see recovery it is about those that need it the most; right? we want to get to a place where everyone can take it

but take a moment to see who really needs this; right? and making sure we're covering our bases and giving them the supported they need. >> pleased approach the microphone. >> my name is maria i'm up here for support of betsey carmichael and the built in education we're we did get the funding for the our funding but basically for that funding we got not as much you guys are kind of saying putting the filipino i understand that everyone here for support and things like that i'm concerned about my kid she is right now in fourth grade i want to continue her education to high school so having that

kind of mentality to having that background that she has i grew up as a filipino in the u.s. and wanted to have it kind of support she know here background with the filipino education the money we received is just ridiculous i feel like there is someone else it someone else if the board can use to using that pathway to condition or continue her background of the culture that's great i want here her to know her background and have the education to knowing where she came from the school she's going to betsey carmichael they've doing a great job but for sixth grade she needs to continue that to the high school and i'm hoping you guys consider more of your money wise to putting that

in our after-school program and putting that in the learning awhile she's there again thank you for your time and i hope you guys consider putting more budget into the filipino pathway thank you. >> hi good evening mr. and mrs. commissioners i'm the executive order at west bay filipino a nonprofit youth and families we serve filipinos and their families and in our agency we serve the agencies mission it is that sign that hung a long time on the facade of a building on

stockton said no filipinos loud it sign no longer xitsz but today it feels like it does in this proposed budget that sits aside only a certain amount of money that makes us filipinos feel that sign is still up so commissioners please join me and let's take down the sign that says no filipinos by putting in the budget for filipino language that accurately reflect the no idea of our community our community, of course just desire as the others we're overall 5 percent of the student population we need the see population to be taught like we
