than it is than others to do this and that we might not need to wait for 2 years for those areas. i don't know but i think the two-year limit is too confining both in terms of speed and also in terms of maybe it will take 3 years to do it in some place in 4 years to do it so that i think it's not the right [inaudible] >> staff: the way i understood and read this language it was asking for an analysis. so because is asking for an analysis we could impact them

back with the analysis that we could do this in one year where we could do it in 3 or something celtic fort in some things we have no idea. i think the language as it's written gives us the flexibility to answer that question is 2 years possible. what i don't want it to do is to set an expectation that the answer is, yes, we can ban in 2 years. what's asking for-i want to be very clear on this-an analysis what does that look like. if we think would be a great goal to dan phaseout in 2 years what does that look like for a? how reasonable is that and how hard is it and what we need from the board of supervisors so it's really an analysis. it's going to take all the apartments working together in a general fashion to do that analysis. we'll give

you the best we can need months from now and you will hear back from us on what we have found leno and don't know. i'm comfortable with the language. but i'm not sure to we have the exact language. i guess my only question is, i see it's fun. >> president omotalade can you read it again >> clerk: on page 3 beginning online 8 the final result would read for the results of the commission on environment request that apartment on the environment to provide implementation through the commission's policy committee at its regularly scheduled the lever 2016 committee meeting and further requests the dept. of the environment presents an analysis to the full commission that outlines pathway to significantly reduce the use of tier 1 herbicides including the possibility of a phaseout within 2 years in public parks

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> we also saw there were schools collaborating with community-based organizations that is provided support additional support for families that were in need. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> the new working group talking for el families must be used in all of the schools consistent manner to insure that information is equitable for

everybody. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> to insure services are being implemented structure of other for central office with the side based leadership should be developed. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> the district should request feedback real feedback from students in how to best support or provide services for the english learners.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> the way we sell communication happening with the parents was valuable depending on the school we were visiting some schools do it very well and some schools need more support the way they communicate in more than one language. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so for those the schools

that are a larger representation of other languages besides english there is a need to have more than one parent's liaison or family liaison to serve the families and that these parents liaisons speak both languages. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and last one insure that the documents that go the interpretation and transaction office are expensiveable for all than >> page 2 the professional development as a teacher b cc

went to different schools and observed el d - so we saw many best practices that are done from the classroom and observed the classrooms were divided two two groups of teachers were pro-active with the curriculum and it is designed by them as well and students were engaged and fully participated as b cc recommendations we want to provide a cross the department training to build the capacity moopthd the staff and support the parents during enrollment and rental for example, our parents liaison and secretary and p pi i u and also when you provide literature please provide it in our target

language and then there is a program during recess we're during lunch that is called cal works if you provide training for them to help to integrate the students across languages and then the fourth one is educational plummet center the spc we appreciate how helper positive with the parents experience as far as the integration in helping the parents navigate the choice system and the outreach that mp c does through the mobile continentals and buses the bayview and their support for the transition we recommend the beginning of the school year provide the school a list of students if languages other than english on the home language

survey so that these schools what prepare orientation and outreach materials to those families and then i'm not going to read all the bullet it is you on page 3 and a b cc recommendation i've read the first believability the second believability to list the schools for the students that needed orientation and lastly to promote the school towers for the el families you know we take pride in our schools especially, as we know the increase of el scores and then lastly provide a list of newcomers to the liaisons thank you. >> and then lastly we have sort of a conclusion other recommendations and concerns those came out of school site visits and the presentations at the b cc and the discussions we

have after them the first thing the b cc is concerned count lower clarification of spanish speaking students as compared to other ervin learners we ask you share the scores to close this achievement gap the b cc is concerned not enough families know or understood the allow plan that was very much show ton true we have two or three additional parents that came to the b cc meeting and some issues of confusion will allow plan came up and some families know that but most families the district don't know about the allow reclassification in general the b cc recommends that all school sites with the population host one workshop on effective supporting the tool in the tool kit but this

presentation in your packet is the what i'll call the.org it breaks down absolutely everything particular all the questions that parents have and in using the same presentation across the schools that everyone is getting the same information and lastly we again continue to be concerned about the lack of awareness parents have around lack of reclassification and a process not something that happens the next year parents need to better understand to help their children we clarify for example, the south is taken early in the year after the summer the b cc recommend all city hall sites with b cc host workshops those workshops should i be assessable and meet the needs of el families in terms of scheduling and are interpretation additionally as the b cc we

for parents feedback and input just some strategies key strategies that makes a difference and to make sure the parents understand there was a lot of suggestion there was a long term goals but a lot of creation around videos that are assessable and the el program guide is one of the tool in the toolbox but people are looking at multiplied strategies different ways to get that information out. >> okay. thank you and then he had a question for the delack in terms of the participation with the school councils and in insuring our councils are coming to the delacks and getting a better understanding the needs of students and how that gets incorporated to the school process get a sense from the members if this is happening or

it feels like one of the steps for developing the budget for each sites that delacks are brought both that conversation. >> i can only speak from my own experience i'm now a representative from d lake he say that is a hard process there's no recommendation of delack of the district this year because i've been working with the delack members last year we were involved and i think that is why it has been possible to make some process in terms of our recommendations being listening and hopefully met but i think that is - it is just the same the information side

needs to be educated parents need to be informed that is not happening at schools they don't know how important to get involved in the process of the budget discussion and what the things we need and the services the learners and teachers base the teachers are needed the support and students by getting involvement that that we'll be able to know what had happened and what they need and the support the teachers and the students need that's not happening so i can tell you by my own experience. >> and do you find are there things you know that will work that we're not doing that would be helpful. >> just the same as they're recommending information needs to be available for the families and i think that from the district level and school level

the administrative staff needs to insure the information is reliable available for families and make them said right now for example the school where i'm recommending we don't have information for the supplemental funds so they don't know and understand it is exclusively to serve the students the el students so therefore they don't know they have that resources for the kids so they're not involved in the process. >> okay thank you i just add one more a couple of more things one of the things i've found over the years that is critically important is to keep the information that delacks need online they can understand

over the years that the district has posted budget when i first started in 1906 sorry i really date myself 2006 with the delack started with the budget were not posted online and now budgets are posted preliminary budget should be posted when the principals receive them information how to designate the supplemental entrants all that information should be available to delack elax have a so we need to find ways to be systematic working by the information they need and their understanding the process that is a little bit xhaktsd sometimes they can engage at the right time their recommends are appropriately wanted to influence the budget and

influence new plans but we do have a rotating parents with - new parents and all that you know needs to be take into consideration. >> okay thank you. >> you know both of my kids went to 9 spanish program at first and last name and linking those were problems back then we say to be better and figure out how we can maybe it is on the persistent empowerment side and better training and thinking about how we you know post information and get more information out so thank you so much for bringing up this to our attention and sort out the issues you've brought to your attention and the english learners have the same assess as

the english learners and thank you for your forest and time and bringing the information to us. >> i want to echo the gratitude for your hard work i know that takes a lot of energy and i know all of you obviously have children and work to be doing for you to be spending your time open thorough recommendations and reports is really a huge help for us and the entire district i guess in in light of that certainly a lot of pieces i'd like to see us pursue and look further and analysis in greater depth i wonder if there's a couple that of things some sort of responses we give as a district i'm looking at ms. wong and the rest of the staff how to follow up on the questions and recommendations i think the

worst thing for all of you to do the work as experts putting this forward to us and feel like nothing came of that or no response or recognize was given around some of the ideas in here so in general how will we respond to these - what i feel are very important in both reports very important recommendations points of clarity, etc. one of the things i'll put out there one of the things seem she should be under k or incorporating into our el cap process and thinking about how we think incorporate some of the ideas into the budget so wanted to get a sense of next steps from the district side we make sure we take advantage of the hard work that is represented in front of us. >> thank you parapet and thank

you, commissioners for your comments staff is active taking note of recommendations that have been brought forth and actually have started the process taking that information into account how we're staffing and looking at the budget process but i think the common theme we're hearing is communication so how are we communicating to the community particularly our english language learn community wire one of the fuse districts that invested in a full-time position to work with the parents with the delack they have a long list of things i'm sorry lou sea has a long list of - to insure we are addressing

the concerns brought for the record the lou sea it making sure you're getting the information notwithstanding commissioners bring back to the board an updating update how the concerns are addressed what is the long term and short time plan and again part of the long very, very clearly articulated issue is how are we communicating effectively with our communities so they understand what is actually in place. >> great. >> well, thank you again, we appreciate for into committees all your hard work the committees thank you (clapping.) >> all right.

that i had to turn things around and focus on any grade i had to listen to my fathers advise and enroll in larkin high school i was shy i didn't know what to expect in the teachers and students but i grew i expected the students and teachers and build relationships and realized that i actually can read faster and you know i'm still here - as it came closer for me to like do beverage marks and present my peace and what i learned throughout the entire year i got nervous and didn't know what to do so i riled on any teachers and the people around me to help break my

shyness when it came to the day i had to present well what happened was i can't explain. >> but i've been i was really nervy couldn't stand or speak for myself i stood and can't remember what my teacher did he let me present in front of his class instead of actively teaching one day and yeah. when it came to that day i stood at all i remember saying my name boldly and he presented i succeed i passed you know i was worried for nothing and

stressed for nothing yeah. most of my friends told me i did a great job that even though he stuttered a little bit and struggled with getting my words together he did the best he could and moved on so - >> after i passed the beverage portfolio i was lead to literacy for justice which is a place that i was recommend for my internship and i actually was very interested in that it lead me to believe i can go to collecting college and do great things and still strengthen me being like i was nervous around people focus more on school, focus more on things i have to do around

the house and also what literacy for environmental justice did for me they helped me build strong relationships not just friends like literally walking up to strangers and connecting with them so - >> yeah. i guess i'm done >> (clapping). >> hello, i'm a to tell you the truth grader at cat since being at cat i've learned relationships the only relationships that are important teacher student relationships are equally as important in any
