1:18 am
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
1:20 am
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

1:22 am
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
1:23 am
need at least two full-time employees to accurately represent us $30,000 won't help us so thank you, commissioners for considering a correction what we feel is incorrect we do feel you want to do something about this. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> our next speaker is going to speak if tagalog i'm going to have to translate it's a short

1:25 am
going to explain to his child others ethnics itself like the chinese and the green communities are getting money from the school district to teach their language and promote their cultural but for us filipinos a very small portion is presented so he feels he has great trust in the school board you'll not set aside the contribution of filipinos in san francisco and he asks to please loot more dollars to allow the continuation of teaching of tagalog to his child in our schools thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> commissioner president murase superintendent and commissioners my name is neil goss man i was a product
1:26 am
of the 70 san francisco unified school district it's been over 40 years since law versus nickels i don't think this district has gotten it right yet we're talking about 40 years where filipinos the beginning of the filipino betsey carmichael education center has tried to teach the bilingual programs we've lacked the services and tools and the resources to really fully teach the program the way it should be i'll give you an example i commend you for adding this round the budget that we're seeing lecture it wasn't there but when we look at the christine wong she spoke but with the law versus nickels one point we're talking about a world language where children
1:27 am
are taught a foreign language english language learners at betsy from k through 5 and k through 8 english language learns kids that speak the first language and english as something they're trying to understand so let's try to get it right let's see how we can make that change to have a bio literacy so open the program and number 2 i really think there's a problem with the bbc how they category our kids they get turned away because it is already full and we find out they're not those are things we finally think you could get it right it's a matter of what's there lastly i want to say please move to make it a
1:28 am
full-time equivalent in the budget as a 5 percent of student population. >> thank you>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> hi, i'm a filipino teacher at the school for 22 years i'm taking off any beef hat perhaps i'm taking off any teacher hat i'm in support of filipino it's linguistic and i'm optimistic by the way, we meet in the school and always talking about the 21st century learn and want the students to know they can be self-directed and multiple lingual and technology save i didn't it is exciting with the next 25 years we can do that and happy with the other
1:29 am
schools this time it is the multi lingual funding with the million dollars we calculated $13,000 and had less than one percent of the budget so we want to correct that because we want a k through 12 it is not only betsey carmichael but we have 2 thousand 9 hundred kids and filipino is the third language after english and spanish in the state of california so very exciting those money nor the next 25 years let's have some of that thank you. >> good evening commissioner president murase and commissioners superintendent carranza. >> my name is catherine cuisine the member of the japantown and rosa parks school i'm here to
1:30 am
thank you inclusion of world languages is important and especially the world languages that tend to be smaller programs or not immersion we have specialized needs that need to be addressed i think all the speakers from betsey carmichael illustrate that so much all of us can sympathy emphasize with one anothers programs to fund the programs and give the best quality education to our students having taken the first step of inclusion we look forward to working with the district to assure there's future funding for world languages and programs that need it and workout plans that role assure that equality and the important educational missions be served thank you. >>
