temple requires a transparent so it brings up the wrap around services that are provided outside of our school day what are some of the same questions to be asking the students that are being asked by the cbos i really appreciate what your team and you have done in making the connections with beyond 12 those are two incredible resources the students will benefit from trembling especially the tracking of our country's as and a they graduate i want to czechoslovakia in with the state college fence appreciating that we didn't want them to go and not have some kind of a connection to us we know where you are and we're still here we

want to what was that experience for the young people for city college and state. >> so particularly at city college there was so we had 20 students out of a projected 50 students and end up showing up to the initial orientation and 12 mentors and all the departments and city college there and the students were extremely engaged do have the opportunities to connect with the resources they'll need on campus so we maids positive connects with the students and i'd be able be able to follow up with the students some of the students they gets job opportunities and college campus

and abhorring that was presents that was an important launch for the is it so particularly in the city not necessarily a formally orientation its san francisco state university that was about imposing students to student groups i know a few of the city hall's that were involved enrolled in the black student union and some of the black fraternities so had a structured process to structure to the pier network so and gordon's we are looking to think about how 0 supplement with the africa support to those students. >> great i really want to thank the bs u for their contributions i know the steam is here i'm not sure

why you're here but you should be home studying i'm thinking who is the president of the bs u and linda's is structural in bringing together young people in the programs so thank you both for being here tonight not sure why we appreciate a long day and virginia and everything e.r. everybody else. >> this is a has there been anything you don't think you want to do again next year it is - you know i'm occurs only because it is you know to the superintendents point that is the most focused we've been and the tight it you've had some really great opportunities to test a few things outs was there anything you you know tried and

thought that would be helpful but it wasn't i mean, i imagine things you want to grow you've gone i can see those successes but curious on the other ends. >> so that as really good question i would honestly say nothing we've started i want to discontinue a lot more to do and more to grow and expands and i think that that that i have the to the one side the question part of the approach in that coming year to shift from rather than just putting in place sections in the 12 graders to come but learning the black student union and other groups and not create new spaces but

having respect for the current sites to encourage the african-american students and families and using that for a platform that is part of the idea with working with the cbos the existing strong relationships to identify more the touch points and even more aggressive with the oug outreach and really getting to the work with the students and families i'd like to to do a lot of that and off the top of my head not saying that we would discontinue at this point. >> my final comment what you're doing around is b f c regionally we are further along than most and how we've embedded b f.k. in the piece of work and

is folks you've gathered to insure that didn't drop off it really cycle to note and some of the folks that are coming to the table that have been in the community not coming to the tackle or showing up that is fine to the work that you've been doing thank you for everything. >> commission. >> so i'll try to keep my comments fairly shorts i want to refer to page of we're looking at the data the goal scorecard i think that it is one thing to reduce the high school dropout rate and floors the cohort rate but we also really as commissioner walton said we have to be conscious of the gap so we're collecting data and loovbt the students performing highly

and it is about the gap we're always looking at two sets of data and captain jason cherniss them to see if we are closing the gap if we don't do that we won't know we're closing the gap another thing on the goal scorecards mr. koffman about doing a deeper analysis i think of the students that do graduate and do catch up a lot of students that caught up; right? they're on track to graduate how are they making up that work is that online work and is online work compatible to a classroom setting what does the student lose or gain in preparation for a 4-year college degree by completing tasks online ever

completing that with an actual teacher and instructor we haven't heard about the plus or is negatives of that if we see i'm not saying but the students have to make up so much work some are other track or graduating they do a lot of capture work it is done by recovery that is done by online work so we also needs to analyze is classes our african-american are taking oliver's the other racial groups that are doing well, how many classes they take and online classes the way to say go with the african-americans their solicited there's a smalg number ever them that gets to a college

relationship of the data who are attending colleges so i don't know that answer we know that is not just you; right? we're talking about that steve and i whether if we dig down deep not the college but i mean the graduation is through the our pleasure of success one measure but the real measure is the 4 years after how do we do that? if their taking more than one or two cola's it this detrimental to a college experience and being successful in the college experience that is more competitive than the classes they're used to and commissioner fewer before you precedes. >> i want to excuse our speaks they are students. >> thank you.

>> and then the other thing so this is a one the measures but the other measure also i think that looking at course work that actually releases oppression i think we saw with ethics studies is releases depression and this got us surprising reluctance rights i don't think - i think we're missing the boat if we do recognize we're a system that is samuel oppress but last also all say institutions they say their moot was also o profess to them i think we need to look at this release of oppression they can be anything so i feel like when i talk to the youths and my

money e own folks and i'm not ready to handle another one otherwise i would volunteer that is taxing energy and many after being retired for the last of years i'm learning is that the lessons that i share with here is about the lessons how the game is played she knows ear game got her game down well, i see her game whether i see how our other is it so middle-income and the asians the skills they have different skills i feel like this is something that is helpful for them to be able to see that through a different fought and lens how the game is played how do you get a

teacher's recommendation and what example later on and being more successful or getting to our goals what would you ask of those people it is all this sort of i want to say i guess is that a game i know my children middle-income children not raised in a middle-income environment that kicking that badgering about what the follow-up the follow through the all the things we held and told her them to side she's not mixes like that another thing i want to say is that we call out here empowerment you can't be

empowered without what you do actually has an impact on our children's education and on our life i feel like this ethiccy has the non-restricted presents with the african-american families and so i think and our students i think that is an important thing we can't say empowerment without having a sense and how it is gains they're actually making change to their voice and their voice is heard that strains the african-american families and the students comes a number so it is really good to have an organizing component i want to say a little bit about page 4 for accelerating the african-americans 0 outcomes that is fab and identify

students have a ohio concentration of african-americans not with the achievement a lot of times it not this school the people within the schools themselves i think it maybe is about structures and getting back to the racial isolations that makes us check ourselves how we are using the supplemental concentration grants money thank you very much someone said in the audience that is important and another thing if you use our own words mr. dickey this is what commissioner wynns was saying when we look at city college and i also went to city college and took the displacement tests when our

folks go to college west gave us the data they have to take two years of medial the graduation rates drops whether i was on the school boards i met with the board of trustees the late milton jr. and he said ms. sandra are do you know how many african-american students graduated 3. >> i meant 3 percent. >> he said "no." i meant 3 he named them all this starts with us quite frankly that is why those data points are so important about preparation are we prep our african-american students for successful at the 34 year universities they gotten 3-d instead of zero d asa

they've not manages that this is work data is important we want to look who is graduating with ds that limits their opportunities to a four-year university sometimes even one d if our stanford university system. >> we should be looking at school wide behavorial plans it treat the environment we endorse this process a lot of the large schools their not recommended in large numbers so that means we have to do activities to and also within our own schools and in our classrooms to incorporate it some inclusiveness so forcing

ever talking you know maybe is teenagers you have to force them to talk but reinforce not just we talk about plans just for african-american students but do we have plans for a school wide culture that teachers are looking both their classrooms to share the ideas that is what our students need to be successful at a four-year universities or a 2 year universities okay. so i think i've said a lot and i also want to say i'm glad to see that happening and glad to see some sorts of structure but wanted to say if we find our analysis and ohio hypotheses so we list those things you have a number ever

series of actions it is wrong it is let's not be afraid to change that because we get moral students for a students 3 years hidden i don't want them to be 40 years behind it is hard and it is costing and not 100 percent because we didn't catch them all i wanted to say this various action it wrong let's be bold enough to change it and tweaking it so we get the results we're working hard to achieve thank you, again mr. dickey. >> i just have one major what i want to communicate i appreciate the goals scorecard and data dashboard, however, i want to be sure we include in

our approach is a strength based approach the carts on the scorecard don't suggest a lot of strength i was at the meeting earlier today with superintendant guerrero comploendz and the chief communications officer how we talk about vision zero and one the big loans in this series of meetings is that the trek to how we talk about vision 2025 boils down to stories what's is story we're telling and that reminds when we were in retreat this past summer we need to uplift those success stories we have them they're out there particularly when it comes to

african-american achievements and so chief communications officer brooikt asked us let's capture those stories i'm sure linda just for the record hats mission high school has many stories we heard if melinda jackson the founder of the next jean girls to grow the next generation of schools in science we have 12 hundred stories in the african-american how shall role we want to make sure while we focus think measurableables at the same time capturing the native of a strength based approach and capture some of those stories if no further comment i want to thank the team for presenting tonight and look forward to you're next school

boards thank you very much. >> (clapping). >> we are not on item m consent calendar resolution none tonight. >> item n votes on the consent calendar that was moved and seconded under second f ms. casco roll call vote and commissioner walton cads the one thing item he must be executed. >> okay so ms. fewer mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell except there's a lot in this book. >> k-8 through 15, k 18, k-6,

that was actually a correction on one that was checked off as a retro but wasn't it was k 24. >> k 24. >> those are penicillin exceptions. >> mr. walton is recusing himself on k-2 on page 79. >> thank you ms. wynns dr. murase mr. walton do you want to - >> calendar.

>> yes. but i'll recuse myself one 51 dash 27 k 22 resolution k-29 a thank you. >> thank you very much. >> we think item p this is a new formats for this item introduction of proposals and assignments intends for first reading so under the assignments there are none introduction of assignment of board there are none item x introductions for immediate action and a notice of specifications of board's rules so approval the resolution become subjects to the construction costs accounting procedures and braid policy i need a may i have a motion and a second for a suspension of the

rules. >> moved. >> roll call vote on suspension of rules. >> ms. fewer. >> mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell ms. norton mr. walton ms. wynns and dr. murase. >> 7 i's. >> a may i have a motion and a second for formal introduction. >> so moved. >> is there a second and second thank you very much superintendent carranza. >> i'd like to ask the chief officer mr. gold man. >> good evening board of education i'll try my best to be brief an rather iconic resolution essentially we're introducing tonight sprints proposal and resolution number

151 so dash 271950 one electing to be subject to the uniform construction cost urgent care procedures and revisions or a new board policy 311 regarding the boyd a little bit of gallbladders this should picking i didn't back on a memo to the board of education yesterday afternoon altercation school districts in california with required to increase the education code to pubically bid a labor material contract over $50,000 that is a law that has been in place over 50 years and it is never changed what has changes is the same sister law like books and

computers like $86,000 every year it rise there are exceptions to that law it allow the public school districts to modify that $15,000 thresholds that 15 you threshold is particularly important in the many, many maintenance and repair projects we have that are small ever scope less than hundred thousand dollars often less than hundred and $75,000 that require us to act rapid that are not emergencies and the public bidding process requiring drawings and specifications and $5,000 every time we advertise is a cumbersome procedure everything costs 15 told us to do that

so in our history when i first came here 10 years ago there was decision of adapting this procedure at the time as commissioner wynns and others know we were trying to get the department to understand the contracting in general and to get back on a path where we could procure and bid prongs and build up trust 10 years has gone by a new gentle council they ask we revisits the way we look at things and from her officer and my office we've taken a look at things we think will enable us to do business in a sufficient way to a safe is money and put it into the prongs what that

fingers us to do and by the way, we already follow the cost procedures the standard costs of math procedures the state of california follows this raise the told her to $40,000 on simple project with the prequalified list of contractor we can negotiate quickly and go do the work for the projects up to one and $75,000 list we can solicit and pick the most costs effective one and moved over one hundred $75,000 everything remains at same so in in a nut shell those are the two resolutions before you the reason why we have asked this rules for suspended and heard tonight's if we want to

put this in place by the first of year there are state protocols and procedures to select the pool of contractor for the fiscal year of january through december of 2016 we're ready to implement. >> so we have a quorum the requested action rather than reading the entire resolution i'll read the action the board of education approve the attached resolution number 1510 dash 27 s p for the construction cost accounting procedures and revised policy 311 for bidding that incorporates the boards election with that, i'll answer

any questions and my partner as well. >> thank you, mr. gold man commissioner president murase. >> one question thank you. >> mr. gold plan are agriculture the pre-qualified union or minimum wage contractors right now. >> every project which we do whether one dollar or $20 million or 50 millions is riders to be a prevailing budget so prevailing wage is an absolute current in the district the only projects that required to be union are those bonds projects over one million dollars that are subject to the project agreement. >> any questions seeing none, roll call vote. >> thank you. >> ms. fewer i think i should say this i'm

going to vote no, i don't know i don't understand it i would understand that better i have to vote no that's correct. >> mr. haney. >> ms. mendoza-mcdonnell ms. norton mr. walton ms. wynns and dr. murase 6 i's. >> so thank you. >> i have a quick question this is a process question actually on the resolution proposal to suspend the reilly's rules was there some time crunch why did we do that. >> rights so we have to initiate the state qualifications and . >> i think for the record we should say that as a normal method of operating we don't

suspend the reilly's rules substantive only when increase a time reason to side that so thank you very much. >> thank you we are now on s board members report outstanding committees and bred delegates starts from the ad hoc student assignment mr. haney. >> so we heard general update around our results or final results from the task the current year for general numbers around folks and students end up and movement that occurs at the given of the year we talked about the student assignment process the application process moving forward and heard about the general timeline and discussed that a bit

we discussed the use of technology in the application process so different things we're storing around ways to submit the applications and is to communicate with the families during the process and decided some of the issues we're going do explore as a committee what the secondary schools and sort of our broader portfolio. >> thank you commissioner vice president haney. >> next is a report from the policy and legislation committee previously ms. wynns reported on the board bylaws did you want to add. >> the informational was the update on the bill signed into law by govern i'll mention the important ones we're interested

so ab 1391 was passed is legislation will protect school boards but don't think that goes far enough i'm saying this because that is in the context of telling you our next meeting in front of 8 we'll consider the circuit courts legislative jaubdz for 2016 so i want you 80 all to get the february we'll be talking about and one will be if anyone has something to say to pursue a more permanence fix but is school districts open to lawsuits and then we must pass a policy detailing our process for ethnicity grades math placement for the pressure internal

revenue to say 2016-2017 school district it rids but is legislation passed into law you know about the good news of the passage ever sb one 72 students that don't pass the high school exits exam previously not just it year eligible we are we should be aware we fled to do as much as we can to you make sure we invite the students in that position as people receive certifies from certifies of completion if san francisco unified school district and not diplomas that are now eligible for the diplomas and remember we're strongly in supports of sb 277 legislation eliminating the

personal beef for vaccinations signed but is govern and passed and you may not know that the efforts to recent efforts to practices place a repel has failed that stays in place we have asked for and expecting we'll have sometime this year an update on the status ever our vaccinations and as i said our next meeting is november 1, '86 o'clock will be argued please give us feedback and a or come to the meeting for the legislative hearing thank you. >> next the select report on the october 22nd meeting and yes i'll be happy to we had two items free muni for youth and i believe every single board member got that report that was

favorable and as a program i was - we have great pravrpts and the youth like muni so we hope to have muni riders for life that's great and then we heard about the city's policy of planning for student enrollment due to say impregnates forgive the school admission dates we've heard a lot of a lot of testimony from motorbike residents that it is a growing communities it is now a very large communities we shared our data with them about our projects and a large group i think every board members this be aware a large group of roefrnts and neighborhoods in a organized way came out they want a school at motorbike we spoke a little bit about the site that

has been out loud through san francisco school district to build a school and whether or not that meets the niece of increasing residentscy interest so it is a exultance that is growing and still growing that is what so the patterns were there and all say communities members e members say in order to serve this communities they need a new school on a 2016 bond actually, i think we'll be hearing more but actually, i thought that was very good to hear from them a lot of them have young children and doing informally surveying the large buildings of young parents that have children so see blood that is great information to have as we start to plan for the future. >> commissioner fewer will you

the members of the public and online it is quite kind of dysfunctioning about the monument in the large cities and therefore, those are the members of the council this is a how we know that but students spends test taking and it's been it includes tests mandated by the states so doesn't include all the tests and test prep times it is really amazing i wanted to congratulate the superintendent and point out you've heard in recent days about the white house being characterized as back tracking to the president and secretary of education there is too much testing have to look at percentage major advocates

that is a stunning reversal and characterized by the media occults that is an indication where belong to the council of the great city schools and have an twinkies on positional making if you put in the time to influence those organizations that themselves have an opportunity to have a major policy developments so i thought we should be aware and congratulations to the council and superintendent. >> commissioner president murase. >> thank you president murase pr want to announce c stephen's and on the have an exist agenda for the november 2nd curriculum committee at 6 o'clock. >> commissioner walton the
