didn't mention the paraprofessional program i see valerie is here recognize her for her incredible work (clapping) and deborah as well and thank you valerie for all your work she went to the baseball game go giants i'd like to address an issue that is in our community so on may 26, 2015 the board of education unanimously passed the school board resolution 143 that was created arabic and vietnamese pathways i as well as members of the board of education have engaged in conversations with community members concerning the needs for the organizations contained within the resolution i want to thank everyone for their engagement and he expressing your views so clearly

i want to assure all members of our community the board of education and i have listens to our concerns and advise and feedbacks, however, in the various conversations i feel that is important we clarify what the districts approach to following through with the adapted resolution number one the resolution directs me the superintendent to begin the process for assessing whether or not we'll be able to implement arabic and vietnamese our portfolio involves 3 distinct phases first phase is program feasibility under program feasibility there's a cross departmental staff team that needs to study and discuss the feasibility of the program in terms of the alignment to programs and policies and assess why there was impact by the school and

community and assess whether it addresses the historically under addressed students and add value to the school and have a positive impact and assess the school district is if there are teachers with relevant expertise to implement the program and access whether there is a curriculum to implement the program all those are critical to our departmental feasibility study from the proposed program meets all the criteria and i have to emphasize all the criteria the assessment then moves to the next phase of the protocol it is a phase that the district staff i emphasis school staff have deeply engaged with

the community members to fully develop a proposal along with the supporting documents that the following areas are addressed it must be addressed the program design is accounted for and staffing needs, facility needs accounted for and fiscal impact only programs like 9 english language pathways for the special education etc. we're looking response from students and community in terms of their sport for the proposed program and timeline for program implementation it is important to note that if every single step sfusd have educating the curriculum development once phase two is completed it moves to phase 3 in that phase the program approval

there are additional checks that are in place during this phase of the proposal that sounded strange during this phase it is presented to the deputy ntendant and all staff to identify the - based on the components in the proposal which i have mentioned the proposals require additional work raise additional questions must be resolve before they move forward to the next step the next step is a vet before the superintendent certificate schools along with the executive leadership team with the staff we access the potential impact on program placements and physical impacts once a new program has been approved a modified state and federal is

developed and an evaluation of the new program is required after the first year of pilot implementation i want to note the resolution adapt by this board directs the superintendent to beginning or begin this process it is important to note once again the sfusd controls, monitor and improves the entire process we may solicit input the sfusd is the sole determiner in this board of education in its capacity are the sole determineers of the curriculum >> what is taught in strike adherence to the california state standards and the sfusd policies and procedures given the feedback i'm also a superintendent requesting the names of other organizations that maybe of help in our

development of arresting bic and vietnamese language pathways in addition to those community-based organizations in the board resolution in addition as with all curriculum development by the sfusd we committed to assuring that the final curriculum i emphasis the language pathways it pubically vetted and finally it is the sole intent of this board of education and this superintendent to engage in this process for the feasibility of establishing the arabic and vietnamese pathways so that students that wish to study the language and culture may do so in our public schools we're not interested in engaging in any geopolitical discussions or providing any group of people who feel disparnld or unwelcomed this resolution is about studying the development of language pathways
