having it be sustainable so my expectation again is to have the filipino language program specialist role look to see how we sustain a program if the high schools you know through the funding support and allows us in conversations with the budget committee to look at going forward so again, a huge thank you to the advocates we got you know you organized, i got leave folks to rally around this and expressed the importance of our language and i really want to appreciate all of you that cute in particular our young people that shared what it means to for them to be able to keep their language to be able to communicate with their families and stay in their communities without getting lost bogging

because their language is no longer available to them so one other thing i want to have my colleagues entertain and this wouldn't be a physical change or a change in the budget i really appreciated that we intoxicate out funding as a in the sports area not around the track piece but i would like for us to seriously think about when they are doing facilities not to have the snaurlz put into the programs i do not think this is appropriate for the head of our sports to make decisions about facilities that is important for our head of supporters to advise and to monitor and to make suggestions about what needs to

be done whether improvements on our track or build a field but i didn't believe and have not that's the appropriate basing place for the funds to go i strongly believe those dollars should belabored with whatever else we've got going on in facilities so if there are improvements that are happening at the high school through our bond initiative for example we should be tapping into the dollars to make those improvements and laying them on top of what is happening in the facilities i'm asking that the remaining one hundred and 5 thousand dollars 302 that is budgeted in sports to be allocated directly to the facilities department to manage and maintain with the advice of

our sports division to make sure that we are leveraging the dollars to make improvements maintenance for the our facilities that are supporting our sports thank you >> commissioner vice president haney and commissioner fewer. >> i have i want to thank the staff at the citizens advisory committee the public may not be able to see this is our thirds version of this we as a board have had a lot of feedback that is actually been a pretty good year for peace there's a lot of opportunity for increases so i want to state for the record how existing things there you are in the document increases that are incredibly important and have huge impacts on our students

we're sort of practices the pier services and professional so much physical education was mentioned tonight and so much of what is in here it moving in the right direction and the staff as a board we had a lot of thoughts and feedback and a lot of things that maybe didn't come cross in clear contradiction i'm impressed you brought back the comes at a time additional a lot of input and critical thought to our views and the notices of our district and got us to where we are we feel pretty good about it a couple of things i'm happy we're able to address the questions around the filipino program and the coroner program i horde a lot of people who came out and spoke i heard a lot of people that needs to come here in sight we respect our willingness to come here and

fight and thankful i hope in the future less of a fight but celebration together i want to know about this party we're invited to this is such a central part of vision so for our city and district to have the language pathways it reflects our city not only to fund a minimal level but fully support and build out the filipino program and the korean program and some funding in this budget. >> thank you to christina wong to enclosure additional lunge programs that was also a incredibly important program we need to build out the ones we have and insuring all our communities have the opportunity

to pursue the languages in our school this is the last thing that is overall i fully support what we have we have 7 million that's labeled as a reserve fund that is funds that have been taken out of the peace and into general fund i hope moving forward we will begin to think about not having the general fund allocation the peace was specifically passed to address some of the nodes we've talked about tonight the third the - i think to focus on fully building out a peas bucket without a significant contribution to the general fund we should have with that a similar question around using it for class reduction i see why we do that i support

class reduction but again, a class size reduction should be a general fund purpose and not something i think we should over the long term take out of the peace with that said thank you to the staff and everything that was part of this and including the community to get to a place so thank you for your work. >> commissioner president loftus and commissioner wynns and commissioner. >> thank you i'd like to thank you as public speakers thank you to the staff for hearing this also there sometimes, i feel like i'm not heard i feel like you've listened i was pleasantly surprised we take all the

comments we ramp ongoing and put that do content that is wonderful quite frankly and thank the peace the leadership they've showed and their diligence and also they're willing ness to determine the right direction so i think peace fund is actually getting but on the right track number one we've put things that shouldn't be in there like the human resources allocation into the general fund and now we're putting things in there for enrichment, etc. >> i want to say about what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell i do agree that this is a facility issue and i think we differ that

i believe that facility should pay for it when we have bonds and we're doing human things that facility where our children exercise and where they do pe and actually should come out of the bond facilities bond and developer fees fund we have $20 million i'm not willing to take some of the monies from athletics that was generously given to pe the facility has a lot of money it should be spent open facilities our track fields little d rings at lowell our facilities as i last remembered they're our facilities i think in the facilities department their financial responsibility to do something so i think that peace is for one thing and facilities is for another and filling the ground for

facilities it should come out of that budget with that said, i want to thank the athletics department for the pe spfltd in every high school i mean every middle school in the week to i think it takes another ftes for every student to have contact with the staff that's our goal but thank you everything christina one thing you got the most beat up and the most work to do and the juggling to you never said that those are my words by all of us me included i want to say thank you, kristin a it exciting we have more money it is a good problem to have i hope that problem increases quite frankly and not you'll on

you but this is an opportunity to finally keep some the promises to the parent and students around our languages and having them militant lingual as they graduate from our schools and aligned with k through 12 thank you new rock and everybody thank you very much. >> on the issue of where the money allocated for facilities will go to i'll defer to the superintendent on that issue. >> thank you commissioner president murase that doesn't require a board vote to instructor lee is duly note that i'll follow-up. >> commissioner wynns and commissioner moore and student delegate. >> thank everyone for the work i personally think that i'd like us in the future to be doing

this a little bit earlier when i mean i think we should have those discussions about riergsz we would like to make but not turned around in a week it is your honor realistic to expect the highly engaged advisory committee to meet in that short time and frankly not the best way to do planning so that's one of the things i think we need to you can we did this on a tight timeline in the beginning like the he will cap we had a short time it was driven by different dates will knowing what is likely to happen oh, we're not going to fill the budget holes for the coming years very

negotiations at least we'll be able to plan more carefully for the future i paralleling hope i know that everybody works hard but particularly wentz once that is passed we're looking forward to negotiation to do do an analysis to which i referred to how much we're spending on what programs and how the students are benefiting it is pretty clear if you're a parent in the school district not involved in a pathway program why are we spend all this money but you'll there is say you know where is your equality lens and fairness it is supposed to be for everybody i see some of the answers to my questions and some of those i want to know how to reduce class size in eight grade

math for a k a school with one eight grade or any smaller middle school how efficiently we're going to spend the ftes i'd like to know how many students so is it it seems to me the only way to do that all we're saying is those schools are getting a sum of math not even one maybe a .2 but maybe not right an amount ever staff that you can't have to the only way to fund it is to give that school a disproportionately higher allocation than schools with more students so if i'm wrong about that i need to see someone that is true this is kind of makes me think of that some of

the answers to my questions yeah, we have language pathways and so i kind of lining like as we go forward how many students in those classes and how the size of those conveyers to the size of the classes all the subject in bigger schools so we still maintain someone as far as i know it has a new name but we used to call it enrolled center money so for small schools to afford a principle basic things we have to have they didn't have enough students to generate the money to sustain the support programs so i'm interested in that and why - and actually, the answer to why do

we need so many ftes to expand the language pathways into the middle grades is yes those classes will be small but we have small classes in other subject that hadn't answered my question about what the costs are and where it comes green from we're getting to the point in this development we all need to understand how the money is spent and the effects it actually has other question i have is about the general infrastructure expenditure for one fte for the director of our children and families initiative so i know we had a question are we're going to have a director is that being funded why are refund it and if so i don't know the answer to that question i'd

like to know how this position will be who will supervisor such a person theoretically has supervisoral or administrative for the children's not our job. >> superintendent. >> thank you sxhum there are two positions one that resides on the citywide and one in the school district but i'd like to ask superintendent lee to elaborate on our position. >> thank you. superintendent that's correct there's been discussions over the last few months about preparing for the launch of the children and families council and part of that has dealt with supervisor yee has introduced legislation to address among other things the composition of the council individuals that will be

appointed by whom to the council and another part of that planning discussion is about the staffing for the overall effort to elaborate on what the instructor said the thinking now the city will have a lead person a director it that will fund the district will have our own director and the funding will come from that part of the peace spend plan through 2015-2016 but that's not all the staff that is contemplated there are up to 5 different roles ftes that we're scoping out what the composition of the team might be and for example, one position is a little bit early device but a thought the effort to develop an inventor ever services is such a big flaking that one position

could be focused exclusively on that both districts and the city mother position could be focused on data analysis and the like so if we're thinking about in that kind of configuration up to 5 roles the funding for those other roles is a little bit up in the air so there's a possibility that the city could fund a portion of the other positions that fund from private sources identified to cover at least initially some of the other positions our skin in the game, if you will, this lead project manager you see before you that's our first commitment our first commitment the city is already funded that for their director and those two individuals who are working closely together near images ever each and everyone in this work and hopefully, will be able

to identify other resources through the general fund or the private sources from the members of the team. >> as that develops i'm a little bit concerned as i have been about this you know how we keep things separate and we're sure that people are not only fund but work for us have responsibilities to be in favor of things on the citywide so i'd like to know as that develops we know that including stgdz to have in place not to co-milk exactly so thank you. >> commissioner wynns my understanding is the staff has a response last night about the

classroom size reduction. >> hopefully that's the beginning of our trying to analyze some version of what we expand on. >> commissioner norton and student delegate. >> i want to thank everybody for peace came back for the great engagement and kathy flerj for the great analysis and with support from me young and others on several occasions i really appreciated is it and easy to follow along to thank you tush i want to agree with commissioner wynns i'll happy the community is happy with the programs and i think that is great a number of folks that are here to talk about the investments we need to

make that's always a good thing but i have some increasing concern about sort of where we're going and what over the long run what investments will be required of us to fulfill the promises that remain in the past or people understand why where we think we're going i think i'd like to ask for the leadership in the superintendent to agendize or prioritize this analysis in helping the board you understand kind of where we are in the full roll out of the language plans we have a new request for studying two new language programs i'm not opposed to you feel a little bit like you know there's every year more and more investments and we're sort of being colonel pressed into policy decisions because of you know big sweeping

initiatives we've passed a long time ago maybe we need to put a pin in where we are and get an analysis i don't know how long that will take. >> yes. would you like to respond. >> i have one more comment after that. >> thank you commissioner norton we agree to some stent checks that have been written that will come due in the coming years as part of development process staff has begun to put numbers to all the priorities identified by the industry currently and in previous years and that will be part ever our discussion as we engage in the budget of the 2015-2016 school year a preview we need to hold

our breath some difficult decisions to make in terms of the investments we've promised and the actual resources to fulfill all those promises that recalculation and the staff has started to bring that conversation first. >> yeah. i think that you know we have vision 2025 a lot of board strategy inches of initiatives we've put in place and many of the promises and the policy discussion we've made about the language program were made well ahead of the broader strategic priorities i think that many times let's calibrated what i we're going and are we still has our equality lens we have to resharpen the lens bring out the checkbook superintendent

i referred to at the beginning of the meeting after the sprint remarks i really am very, very glad to see the additional investments in the common core math implementation that is something i'm hearing a lot about from the communities i think there is a huge amount of misinformation out there you know we have a lot of work to do to communicate the rigor of the new standards and the rigor of our plans when we heard at the curriculum committee from the students and families actually, their kids in middle school were not feeling challenged in the first year of implementation i want to commend everybody for really saying yeah. this is the first year and we need to adjust our completion and some things

we can do better and the to things identified to me both by people work with us outside the district and the district folks themselves we need to have more coaches for teachers to help them get their heads around the standards and the differentiations and also that a smaller class size will help the teachers we're throwing a lot at to asking them to change a lot of things at the same time i want to express i'm grateful for that you're willing to hear that and make adjustments i think that is going to make a difference decreasing the class size 22 to 24 is honorable and students will see that impact and people that are doubting the

course we've taken will make a huge, huge difference for them it is role great to see so thank you and i'm glad we're finally at the point we're really that people feel good it took awhile but i'm glad to forward it. >> student delegate and commissioner wynns. >> thank you commissioner president murase i want to let everyone know you that is or think that pe is important for elementary schools because all the students can stay healthy and when older make better choices in the future i hope the board of education can make that happen thank you. >> commissioner wynns. >> i wanted to thank mr. fledge for the comments about the analysis of outrageous up know

that is ongoing to appreciate that i appreciate the staff doing that that is hard and difficult to do i understand that it is hard i understand that i want to insure the board those allocations didn't mean we are spending that money but if we can in fact i expressed concern at the last meeting i still have about the escalating costs and the staff is looking at ways to have efficiency and save some of the money that doesn't require spending up to that amount so thank you for that. >> in closing out this discussion i do want to thank our co-chairs of the public education and this citizens advisory committee mark murphy and jeff painstaking and the kinder cac and christina wong

and especially want to thank kathy fleming from any first came on to this board and reviewed the materials the materials are so much easier to understand we have an impact analysis and compare one year to the next that's a lot of additional work but in terms of transparency and decision making that has made a huge difference and, secondly, (clapping) secondly i want to say that many of the allocations do reflect our vision 2025 students that are multi lingual is important that the district is dedicated $2 million of new dollars out of the general fund to multi lingual a step towards

realizing the vision 2025 graduate profile and some of the concerns part of that allocation will be dedicated to multi entry points for language so that even if you don't get into language program in kindergarten that in middle school you'll have an opportunity to study a new language and finally i just want to thank the voters of san francisco the $60 million fund is helping to show what the district will do and continue to rely on the voters to supporting our public schools this is one of the most tangible was to do that superintendent. >> i wasn't going to see anything but kudos and ditto to everyone i couldn't say more but i want to remind everyone that is listening and watching on
