70 percent chinese students, however as i said before as a dr. pursuance said that racial isolations for some communities are more negatively effected than in others let's remember that i want to say i've been to some planning meetings it's estimated that the commute to school during the morning commute contributed up to about 25 percent of the morning commute traffic so think of all those things when we are talking about a resolution like this and again, i think i'm so glad that actually, my colleagues have the utmost respect for me (laughter) it i mature, however i'm still urging them to vote for this i

don't think your assumptions are correct if not to do anything saying the status quo is fine and not do anything this is a play for a long time i've not seen a resolution come up that is bolder or someone step forward with the many conversations we've had to bring up something bolder than this this is bold to vote for this i'm going to ask my colleagues to be bold tonight and remember that the statistics of those tentative or 20 students really she mentions 57 thousand 10 ask the or 20 students we're tarnishing e talking about a much larger issue and talking about quite frankly about thousands of students so to bring up a number ten or 9 or 7

really? we're talking about 57 thousand students and again, this is not i don't think a momental shift it is a chipping away a little bit of choice and i disagree with commissioner wynns i don't think it is in the wrong direction i believe it's in the right direction thank you >> i'd like to off my opinion i want to say there is clearly lots of agreement on this board about the importance of diversity i think our record and most recent votes show the unanimous support for diversity in our schools generally this is a matter of how we get there one the systems that gets us to diversity i'm going to be

support for 3 arraigns first i draw a different conclusion from the data i respect my commissioner vice president haney my colleague we have data from simulation and 5 years of data that 5 years of data has shown very little impact in terms of the diversity very little i want to offer two piece ofs data we've looked at this issue the first piece of day we received from the bar chart of how diverse the schools are based on applications and then we saw a second boar chart that what happens when's we do our assignment that is more diverse than the application and the third bar chart of what actually people choose that's lower than the additional application or assignment that's reflected in the chronicle that families are

not choosing to be in the most diverse schools that's really disappointing it is personally disappointing so the the first piece of data the second piece when we look at who is looking at the asset of preference it is targeting i think some of the low income families disengaged families and african-american and latino families and just not being used in great numbers by the groups we're targeting so in my view my conclusion a policy failure we have to be - what's the expectation and are we making it my conclusion not creating on impact with this particular policy, and, secondly this board and before i got on the board has spent a lot of time trying to eliminate

the gaming of the system trying to reduce people sort of manipulating the variables around student assignment i permanently know a family that has moved into a neighborhood to take advantage of that preference when the ceqa preference is for underserved families not middle-class families not widespread the misuse was not widespread when you hear of the one or two high profile families that misused it it casts credibility issues and finally, the c tip the idea of getting into a better school is not the message we want to be sending to our 57 thousand

students that we need to invest in the and hold ourselves accountability to make the schools for attractive what i appreciate about the resolution is the reference to asking the superintendent to develop a plan to encourage racial segregation for program placement what kind of attractive programs into the schools in under rolled and rosa parks and the japanese programs have changed the material diversity which we can document whereas i have to say with one preference i don't see evidence i'll be supporting this resolution. >> commissioner norton.

>> okay i want to thank first of all dr. murase for giving me the privilege of going last it is a privilege but not much more to say i do think that has been a really worthwhile experience in past year for the board to look at those issues and dig into them and i think that was productive and variable to hold this resolution in committee for that year to look at those issues i'm left sort of disappointed i guess because it is surprisingly to me we couldn't come to a more consensus around with what we need to do next i'm hearing different things from different things the reduces did he see

didn't go far enough the research we've heard from the economic advisors it is moving in the wrong districts but i'm hearing that it showed not much impact at all is actually all of you are right and where does it leave us? i think i mean, i actually really don't put that much wealthy on the relations because they're a simulation of what of the behavior that occurred in the past under a different system we have a new system behavior will change we absolutely know that once we make changes in student assignment behavior is effected in the years i've been watching this this is sort of the story of unintended consequences this is a very messy complex system

depended on on lots and lots of people i also want to thank commissioner fewer i want to thank you for your partnership working with me over the past year but she's pushed me during the time we sat on the board to look at those issues differently when i came into the board in 2008 i was absolutely a choice advocate choice is the most important thing how we're going to make wonderful things happen and programs it has been sad to release i was wrong about the change that can bring in the district i disagree with consistence it has to be all-or-nothing you, you can preserve some choice in the system send a different message

how to constrict what opens people have right now we have a system that absolutely prioritize choice for certain families you absolutely should make a choice that's the moss most important thing choose something different and those families are in the precise neighborhoods where the schools we're most concerned and most trying to support are so if choice which i think we have been agrees with this to some degree if you agree that a choice system taking advantage of a choice system means the wherewith all to have transportation to visit the schools and requires you to have transportation to get our kids ones a bus or you know in a car every morning to take them across town whether or not that

school is if you don't have the internet at home if you don't even have for whatever reason the ability you have to go and actually find out how the system works and make a choice the system will not work for you, your ended up in a school of last resort we have schools of last resort because of the system the kind of system and what stuffing and i have tried to do with that resolution trying to articulate we don't want to have schools of last resort as a board those schools of last resort are bad schools there's a strong principles they have issued we're working and invest in them i don't want a policy written by the board to

say some schools you shouldn't go to and that was really the motivation behind this recessing resolution i welcome continuing this discussion whether or not this resolution passes tonight i think we all acknowledge there are problems a lot of things not work and it is very sad we spent a year you know my first two years basically redesigning this system and has so little impact on the outcomes so how can we fix that how can we not have students some of our most vulnerable students continuing to go to schools under enrolled and isolated with groups of those vulnerable students how can we change that so i want to thank everybody for that bearing with u and thank you for your

willingness to engage in this discussion i hope you'll vote but even if not i welcome the conversation to continue thank you >> so more comments from the board roll call. >> thank you ms. fewer excuse me. that was on the amended by substitute motion. >> mr. haney no. >> ms. mendoza-mcdonnell no. >> ms. norton. >> mr. walton. >> no. >> ms. wynns. >> no. >> dr. murase. >> it fails. >> thank you very much next is board members proposal

in support of expanding the computer sciences is a all students from pre k to 12 grade by scomplenz and myself that was moved and seconded may i have a reading of the resolution. >> whereas through xerox sfaufld asy fined didn't what it stacks our students must have learned content by critical thinking and real world thinking and whereas a key piece the graduate profile in the xerox is vision 2024 is the ability to navigate and garland in 12i global sovereignty in which students are multi illogical for

spanish and chinese to sign language and computer science and whereas the framework includes the technology in critical areas and student support and technology and coordination and curriculum and construction all of those are equitable access to equation technology in district wide and whereas the digital literacy must exclude the familiarity with typing and whereas the services education is a broader framework and whereas computer science teaches trans fefshl students a driver the economic productivity and whereas non-compliance the story to me it actuals how to tackle the

small problems restraining orders valuable and whereas in the coming years far more computing jordan's to fill the jobs and nationally according an estimated one million unfulfilled computer jobs and whereas the technology is the faster growing job sector accounting for overall job prts and between 2007 and 2020 and the tech industry didn't reflect the diversity of the population tech employment in san francisco is 76 male and 26 female and 10 percent african-american and latino and two percent african-american and latino compromise 14 percent and women 23 percent and whereas in a 2014

colleges moved in the technology sector particularly african-american and latinos often struggle in a city where technology job growth is booming and even though the majority of students will not become programmers the knowledge and skills education nevertheless are critical to understand the survives science in today's world it is fragmented for the lass lack of equalities by this to no ongoing science only two needle in the haystack reaches 25 percent of 6 grade students and currently on 5 percent of sfaufld are enrolled in a computer science course and high schools over one course the

science computer schools the participation is limit of the nearly 10 thousand students that took one in 2010 a examine and whereas of the 2 hundred and 4 streamline students only 22 percent were female and lower for african-american whereas the off-street parking are offered for students to understanding the robotics and code and square code and innovation and whereas in partnership with the mayor ed lee and salesforce.org they've set based golds and 2016-2017 hundred percent of students will demonstrate math and grandfathered with component with 40 hours of computer science instruction and whereas

the united workers seek to have teaches for skills and teach computer sciences they have partner with the organizations that have facilities and including the literacy a code mission and co-.org and others whereas on 10 percent the schools and whereas few large district have computer science so for pre k month district are priority the k - whereas sfusd is setting a goal for larger district to expand the computer for all students and whereas currently no national or local standards exist few schools teach it from pre k to 12 grade

at such a k hey skill that didn't exist and whereas introduce the extensive the observation and teacher interviews and adoption of the teachers association standards and thorough analysis the curriculum from diverse resources they've developed their own comprehensive and sequence to have the trajectory from pre k for to prepare our kids for curriculum and therefore, be it resolved we will expand the education to all students from pre k to 12 grade and further be it resolved to expand computer education understanding how computers work and how to use those to solve a problem will be increasingly important for students that prepare for college it provides

more programming students learn about the processes and hardware and software designs monk other important things and making sense of computers all relevant students deserve meaningful education in computer and should be held to high exceptions with the curriculum i'm going to skip ahead a little bit or if you want me to keep going be it therefore resolved pre k through 5 to have collaborative instruction to all students and the excitement about the problem solving and critical thinking and in calculation scribing i skipping further ahead further be it resolved the computer will be phased ♪ the 2015-2016 and further be it resolved the education including the pilots will be for the social justice and closing

the gap and further be it resolved sfusd will work closely with the technology companies and other foundations in the broader community with the education plan and be it therefore resolved finally those standards will be in close partnerships are the educators and include the professional development so the teachers have credibly able to teach the services science >> i have one speaker card ms. casco two minutes please. >> thank you so much i really enjoyed seeing the emphasis on making sure that all students get the access to computer

science education i'm discerned about the african-american students and how they'll be produce tied historically african-american students are left out of the opportunity in the district 234089 given the access essays to the course work to prepare them for college i'm excited to see the board to take a step towards is my own i want to highest the needs for african-american students that will be great to insure iuoe disenfranchised schools are able to assess those resources it didn't become another thing to a small how much of students but all students especially african-american students what about dreaded e tread with respect and dignity i want to put that out to consider how the african-american students will be able to take part in

something like this to insure it african-american students graduate r and are career ready and public comment is closed. comments commissioner fewer and commissioner wynns. >> i have the utmost respect for whoever wrote this i don't think it is bold enough, however, i want to be bold and is i have an issue with one the things i've mentioned that before when we had it as a committee as a whole the answer doesn't come so i think computer science is fabulous and we should be teaching it and really commend superintendent for bringing this forward and moving it forward around computer science,

however in grades pre k through 12 my question as a committee as a whole as i ask a question a couple weeks ago have we done studies open whether or not an ap class is a class what we should be offering at a 9 to 12 level or concurring in an city college choice i want to know the difference on the achievement what better prepares them for college and helps them to be entering college and acquit possible in their careers in computer science is it a computer course so kids can get credit at the same time, if an ap course many effective of the

united states only accept three to four you don't get college credit unless our high ranking in the course my question i thought i might see an amendment around that i didn't get an answer and looking at this thing i don't see that so an ap quite frankly are expensive we pay a lot of money unless that is going to change i think that city college also could be giving our students this higher level of learning in computer science without the cost of us with the ap an ap actually are expensive to the students their 85 there's each and they teach to test in may i know i've had three children with multi things

i've written many, many checks for ap classes some they passed and some universities didn't accept and some accident have we done something i feel have we done research open whether or not a concurrent enrollment in city college is better than an ap class and relying on this resolution just on ap without mention of concurrent combrormd with the community college and sf state many of our students that are taking those classes get college credit i want to make sure that the students we serve primary are students that you know qualify for reduced lunch and one less class to pay for could be thousands and thousands of dollars and a leg

up in college entrance do you think with the in our judgment should we be adding on amendment that actually includes concurrent enrollment and exploring the alignment with our high school design thanks. >> superintendent carranza. >> yes. thank you dr. murase and commissioner fewer so absolutely so we've taken a look at the language and the language didn't require us to expand the ap classes but staff does an analysis i want to ask the interim chief academics over from our curriculum head department to please from our stem division to kind of answer that question and great so i'm here i wish bryan would be us

but in new york representing san francisco at the teachers award so i'm going to turn it over to bryan for response. >> thanks so the national science foundation has done studies when we say ap computer science i don't mean the class taught in holidays there's a new course coming out that is called ap science principles that is funded primary to 9 science foundation and it's development and in its essence it's trying to broken twho who takes computer science if i ask our court ap science teachers is this class funded no does this attractive a lot of students no we don't want that but we want the ap principles attracting a

wider array of students providing a more principles base class essentially the vufth of c s 50 rather than c s hundred released in 2017 that lions aligns with our participation goals with the dual enrollment i do that this is something to be explored this district as well as the conditional recently received the california clear paths that is a $6 million grant and last weeks ago week he attended the summit that talks about the disparities between city college i don't think that those are still under developed the truth is in the last year only thirty
