will call the names in order of how we receive (calling names). >> my name is julie exciting to hear the presentation it is great to see the families are getting support at a time they're targeted by our national administration and i wanted to speak today asking the district to approve the resolution that will allow the district to work with arock that allows to approve the mou to work with the high schools i've seen incidents of families being afraid to walk home

several families were targeted by them were impacted we're not able to return to the country during the time period and one of the - the great work that arock does is work with the students to document students of anti racism cross the area and 45 percent of students say they've heard some kind of anti arab comments from a staff percent 65 percent heard from their peers or other folks so what i'm hearing there is real challenges for families in the district a lot of the families at the school are not getting interpretation in their language which makes it difficult to support the students while the district and the city has passed a language access ordinance that arock helped to advocate for families

are not to work in the district without an organization that supports the families and finally we benefit from having a arabic language real benefits and needs and the only argument i've heard and arock mou come from disagreements among adults where the national politics i haven't heard students feeling like they were because of arock so i'd like to remind the district being newly but side with the students articulated and approve the arock . >> (clapping.) >> (calling names) >> i haven't seen them stand

up calling the names in the order i have. >> you know at least one the people is on their way will the be allowed to speak in public comment is note closed as again (calling names). >> thank you i also want to speak in support of you taking up the memorandum of understanding with the arab organizing center arock and approve that rather than putting it off and it is not exactly clear why is it put off but it seems like that must be due to international political issues that effect us locally too but that didn't seem right when - i speak as a third generation bay area my dad went to local

i'm a bay area native and live in san francisco i'm outraged at the smear campaign against the organizing center by other members of the joshua community here and it is wrong this is something that is exemplar as future citizens the language services have been indeliblely helpful that richard carranza help to create these opportunities so they should be included still there is really no good reason to deny them the rightful place in the community and city and schools the need is great they are principled don't be swayed please that is important to know that arock didn't get money from the a o u how can you

note extend this necessary service to the youth i can understand but not wanting to give into that the mayor needs to be brought up immediately and approved i'm part avenue ballooning number of injuries in the place coming to see a distinction between i don't know if it is related to as on advocate for palestinian right for questioning what is really it is doing people standing up for themselves that's what we want from the students that's when a san francisco is standing up for don't be - stand with arock and let them support the students of this district. >> (clapping.) >> good evening, commissioners

i just wanted to speak think on behalf of the arock as well i'm my kids are at francisco a large number of arab students when i spoke about this last time i addressed you the day after the election there was students that are staten by shaken by the election and crying unfortunately, we have to staff that speak arabic and every morning i have photos i started to take pictures there are couples and waves of kids that stand up in the counseling office and nobody to talk with them and basically the security guard and say back away go home they understand that i feel like as a educator i don't know what i will do if you're there not supporting the students they

deserve support and the fact that arock is available to provide support and support families in communicating with their teachers and they're willing to do that for free beyond why you want to bar them from the schools especially it prevents city hall's from being connected with other students right now their segregated and on their own pretty much i see i'll start sending the photos they're kind of on their own to kind of fend for themselves in a hostile kickoff innovate intermediate at a city hall school that wants to provide the services but don't have the capacity i've been asking where is the support what is the support not in house in district few few staff members that speak arabic or familiar with the

community so this organization is willing to provide that note lined with the values of supporting families that are marginalized so thank you very much. >> (clapping.) >> hello my name is carol i echo in support of what the other speakers b said a arock and finding work and how important that work is now i wanted to bring to to your attention my understanding that one, the mou is held up because j.c. rc the community organization council has taken the position is arock has political positions birthday palestinian that creates fear amongst the jewish students i'm

jewish i'm a member the jewish community and i seen this played out before many times in the advocating they have a exhibit of palestinian art advocating went to the city of berkley and said this frielgdz the jewish community we want you to deny the funding to the art berkley refused it happens again at sf su to create a mural honoring an arab and a graphic that spoke to the plight of palestinian refugees and jrotc and it is in - they

did that with the home mural in san francisco and the art commission said one the recent incidents at the oakland children's amount we held an exhibit of art by children and jrotc they claimed this is frightening to the jewish community thank you. >> thank you so much. >> that's the background. >> (clapping.) >> hello my name is katherine i'm here to support the renewal the memorandum of understanding between san francisco unified school district and arock i'm speaking fast this is an issue

on the front burner not the back burner i'm jewish i have lived in the mission district for 40 years and my daughter went to the san francisco unified school district and an attorney today for good or bad as an chief executive officer in the harvey milk i've been involved in the racism involving the desegregation of the san francisco unified school district this last week, i attended the south america for the 75 anniversary of the executive order for prisons thousands of japanese men and women and grandmothers and grandfather the chinese act along with the idea of the native people, etc. is some of the most shameful momentum in the history we don't want to live in the terrible times i cried after the election for men

and women and injuries and muslims we need e need to pull together and support together i'm part of the an interface program makes a rapid response we're injuries we're catholics and profit tents and arock and jewish advise voices for peace over 10 years arock provided invaluable services for arabs and families and the public schools at no cost as pointed out how can you turn it down we must support the children and their families as others have said i understand you're under a great deal of pressures from the right jewish organizations shame on them decent order jews and krirlgz jews are working together to repair mosques and ceremonies that have attacked by

those the same people that shared the chinese inclusion act and think that safer slavery is a good thing a stand with original e ordinary people we need arocks program love over hate thanks (calling names). >> hi commissioners and cindy i'm a member of the jewish voice for peace and part of jewish community i'm here as well to speak in support of school board renewing with the mou with arock at the critical time of oppression of the muslims the resources that

arock brings to the arab students are crucial they work over the past 10 years for translations for arab speaking folks and providing a commitment for arab bic and vietnamese and supporting a case group arab has held working groups to provide other support services arock has received policy o positive assessment by sfusd staff and support from the community they serve i was at the last meeting the curriculum committee and was taken auerbach by several members the jewish community said the work of arock and the possibility of arab taught da can cause problems an offensive statement and calls into question several jewish organizations have been putting pressure to notary new the mou

the issue is about arock position on palestinian has nothing to do with with the work on the ground the jrotc has not opposed the hall cost denial and the treats under the jewish institutions the desecration of jewish ceremonies or - they seem to think that preventing children from learning arabic is better than the deeffort now as a jew i'm shamed to look at this so destroy serves for arab immigrant families paused of political differences. >> thank you, ma'am.

>> hello my name is martini i'm a mother of a fourth grader and grattan i'm on the 9 year of volunteering inside the classroom i'm here to talk about 3 things they relate to the teacher at grattan elementary the impact on the community holding a sign it stand outside off mr. phillips closed computer lab you can see simultaneously the kind of love from the community i'm a educator and teach as uc berkley his general passion with the enjoy and curiosity is unmatched in

education that i've seen especially at the elementary schools and second issue the teachers impact on teachers phil was the glue for media and infrastructure so, now the teachers have to commit the time and commit that time it disproportionately effects go students not with computer they come to school they don't have the reports done by the way, because the computer lab is done and now the leadership at public schools and what you guys represent to us and our stewardship of the public schools and we'll hope you'll exercise judgment the circumstances and contacts in which the decisions are made in january and february have changed we lien on the fundamental values as well as the city we ask you to consider

those as you assess the situation and help us do everything you can to bring phillip back to grattan he is a seriously important part of all aspects we work and what public school is today take into considerati considerati consideration. >> (clapping.) >> hi, i'm a member of the grattan 4, 5 team also the board with the generous donations of pta support that allows us to have a classroom reduction i'm here to speak on behalf of the all of us my grandfather said when this is a problem this is a first step towards a solution we're on our way towards a solution we're having a standoff between administration and upset

families and students and teachers over the reputation and career of our beloved phil but want to point out we've look at this as a standoff that that didn't make sense if you think about this amendment wear all san francisco school district made up of the students to be compelled and inspired and motivated to learn under the circumstances that the teacher did and extra curriculum activities he maintained and sfusd is not a unified school district without the families to send their families to a second home and a daily basis with the understanding they'll come home smarter and requester the question knowing that the answer will come from recess in the after-school programs then from their classrooms and sfusd is,

of course, the teachers that come to school to make a difference we do our best to make it interesting and inspire the love of learning in the students and know that phillip was the first to receive those goals and sfusd is also an administrator that intention that motivates the students to achieve other common goals it is compelling we act as a unit to preserve the intentions of our common goal to create inspired environment that is our environment is mr. phillip thank you. >> >> (clapping.) >> good evening my name is abby two daughters currently in attention

this been a lot of people not understanding this jessica wong as embraced this and making a difference in the classroom and changing teachers with prior education with unaccessible curriculum making it something that students can get you can't put value on an education and create those relationships not just with the students buses the peers in the the way it impacts a lot for students so it is really one the valuable things at the galileo i hope we can help to grow the school and trying at this point, we're in much a critical position in the district to be able to have those science teachers that are great for change and understanding how it is supposed

to move forward we want to really hold onto those i implore you to change our minds on the non- reelect >> (clapping.) >> (calling names). >> push the button thank you for presenting a few moms i'm richard a veteran teacher at the galileo temp i'm a science teacher and the deputy head for the pathway programs i came here today because i wanted to express how proud i am of jessica wong who was my

student and how delighted to see her as several of our x students come back to galileo to become teachers and be part of the community i'm also proud to serve with her as a teacher with our staff i don't know the circumstances around being non-reelect i wish i did but your community didn't allow for this i do know that she doesn't have a connection and place in the community another galileo and she plays a role with our students that most people will turn and run away from the challenges she's able to navigate and to bring support to our incredible and i'm appreciative of ore at our is conditional that's that's all i have to say tonight thank you for your time i'm going to drive

thought about moving away i love where i work i love the people i work with i don't necessarily love how we're treated sometimes and we can praise jessica there's a bunch of us doing it she's a great teacher as far as i know works well with her ceasing that's the one thing i know galileo keeps teachers because of each other we all are there because of each other and it is been a rough road for the last few years and i can pretty much tell you one the things keeping me there besides the students are my colleagues, we work the best when we know we're being treated well if you say thank you to an

employee every once in a while i'll get the best work but out of this this didn't feel like a thank you and it seems bizarre to me that in a district where we're really short of teachers as a matter of fact we finally filled the last two positions one within the last month or things like that but non-reelecting jessica put users in our position this is really bizarre thank you. >> (clapping.) >> my name is vicky and work at galileo a social studies teacher there for the last 9 years i left one year two years ago with a higher paying job it was a good gig but come back

to taechl i missed it i pies that like crazy so when we asked them when the previous position asked me why did i want to come i said initially during the first job interview i love hatred the job because i was tired it is exhausting we work all nights and holidays i decided to come back i turned i load of it more than i hated it and missed those kids the loud kids in the hallway but again, i'm saying this because teaching is a thanksless job it feels that and sometimes, we don't see results until years later jessica wong working in special ed you know, i have to - she's

formed bond with my students and see the tormentors and given we have a teacher shortage and on top of a special ed shortage it also doesn't make sense to myself where she's been non-reelected so i really urge you all a rescinded her non-re-election you, you know we don't do it for the money thank you. >> (clapping.) >> hello my name is aaron bra i work at the galileo i'll show you signs appearing about retaining jessica wong i worked at the high school level and the special education with children with diagnosed for mental health be and jessica wong has the

announced she's not returning because of high cost of living in san francisco the administration knew this when we choose to non-reelect jessica wong and other teachers are thinking about leaving we'll enter next year down to be experienced teachers those teachers are in high demand a shortage throughout the state as galileo gets more of reputation about articulate submittals articulatey submittals not based on teachers but personal issues. the district has an obligation to help the students we need to keep the teachers who are good i think want to work with the district thank you .

inappropriate and inappropriate manner she fails to answer the basic of questions how to move forward with the students academically and provide angle emotional place for students to learn and grow and thrive instead of embracing the positive change she's shut us down and all e motor vehicle and unavailable and unprepared to continue to take on the full demands of a preschool to 8 school this is an upgrade matter and needs immediate attention we don't take this decision lighting the fact our children. >> community is suffering from her leadership we have suffered in silence and refuse to do so any longer want the sexuality leader to be ready for the challenges of a unique

raise our own budget 3/4ths comes down from listeners and the balance from federal support for public publishing and in kind supported from the district incredibly value for the high school and the studios also legal h.r. accounting support special mr. cook i want san francisco thank you for the relationship we are also grateful talk about that every year for the for a second this is a district and this is a board that represent that is important to have an editorial firewall between the listening and the station like k l w i can only imagine it is important for the news outlet and have a listener relationship to the listeners is incredibly important didn't mean we can't collaborate with the district to provide district inform on the

air with resources or work with students all of which we do but the journalists need to do their work without - that's how things work with our station and heard storehouses from other manages working in the stukts r unified school districts and that's not always the reason but this is the station broadcast of the district and wanted to - you to feel that represents the district well and connected to the sfusd mission to educate the students and the broader public so oh, one the things i want to talk about the importance of k l a what direction what we're doing in the history do let you

know the station has become known as one of the most preview initiate stationed in public radio when i first started the job when i showed up with public radio the main answer to i'm from k l w what is it where is that now people associate with with integrate programming i want to talk about a couple of examples one of them it is showing up here is this is a program that in you 2011 november i thought daniel in the bay area and one of the producers came do me and said we want to take the story telling and journalism and want to bring it to the stories of people throughout the americans who speak spanish and make that a spanish language pod cast that

side that now at the time there was nothing like that in public radio i thought that was an important idea though we do not an english station but put our resources for the first two years it was produced at k a l w studios and grew and become an independent production in 0 november apr says we'll have the first spanish pod cast their building openly on what established at k a l w and having the stories on the news and considered in the morning edition that was something that started and what you started at the station and also in 2013 we started a program called a

partnership between the new department of and k l a w and jouftsz inside of san convention let's tell stories about life inside the prison and families affected by the fact they have people on the inside of that community that who incarcerated people in them and tell overseeing stories from the perspective the prisoners recorded by a journalist that san convention has grown and a link that shows you some of the stories but in addition to those stories we continue it carry it really inspired some of the journalist to say we can do

incredible things in audio they heard an international composition for new pod casts called pod quest with the producer that works with them said they decided to come up with a new pod cast expanding on what the san conventiquentin re theirs was chosen to have resources behind it to distribute is to market and deputy it once again something that started here unabated with the new voices on air this is about women changing the

status quo started here and chosen as one of the pod casts that you take part in that is a pod cast by the public radio they too are saying here's a great idea we want to support and bring to the broader public and finally lightwell you know about a show we're producing with the community and it - so on the air for a year do a monthly show in theatres at march 23 and putting in a plug and i'll give my e-mail later so and i'm sorry, i lost any thought here it is a fun show what we do is take on social and political issues the days with funny

conversations are challenging go conversations about things that matter that is what we're trying to do in this work i realize i skipped over a pod cast on the lower right hand corner this is our host of the news cross current and a reporter in the news department they have a new pod cast coming out called the student and comes from the african-american background and found their conversations go hearing about black identity maybe we can tell the stories and bring them forward and relied to be part of the pod cast they didn't win they were semifinal lifts but picked up we're not seeing those kinds of conversations and want to support this kind of work i tell you about that not only because

i'm proud of the work it is important and exciting but to give you a sense the roll like we can play in taking risks and bringing forward voices and really been we do this in the context of the district but has an impact far beyond the community in parts of public radio and part of the media next, i want to tong given that tonight we have the first address of president trump congress we in public radio continental k l a w feel our responsibility for informing the community engaging in the civic dialogue with the humanity it is incredibly important and he can tell you in the months since the election the confuses we are having the increased responsible and wanted

to get this right it is powerful when i came to the station in 2001982 as a producer i was the only public affairs producer was in a station on a daily basis no news department no local newspaper like now the growth of the station has met in a moment like there is so many stories to cover from national down to the local so many important conversations we need to be engaged in the fact that the station has grown the capacity it is what i understood the importance of that on the local call many of in you remember the host we had a number of shows about trumps combrnt appointees and a full

week of immigration with an immigration policy to bring people that be directed effected by the executive order that came from the trumpet administration earlier this year i'm proud we are in a position to do and to bring to the community our local news magazine talking the impact of the metrics and rhetoric on people in the bay area whether immigrant and transgender people and women those that kind of reporting and talking about high speed rail and they did an entire half an hour talking about the high speed rail in san francisco and how it is affected by about the policies and room on the station for voices to come to the administration like the sfusd students that travel to washington, d.c. for the women's march a number of whom had their voices during the

commentary and reports they took tape recorders and reflections what they were hearing we brought them to the air in the bay area so public radio is important all the time it is incredibly for the district can feel good about being part of supporting this resource we also are really reconnecting with the educational mission station the first 35 years of the existence we're a training station much more concerned with educating students for connecting with listeners that changed as mp r came on the air and bbc and grow the listeners but in recent years we have been

working to reintegrate teaching and education into the work we do not only because of relevant and exciting radio to listen to we oh, yeah, that's where we began the students on the tower putting up the transmitter in 1941 in the past years development the audio comedy a intuition free program for adults from the community to learn audio journalism and audio techniques we're in the fourths or fourth-class and people in the previous classes. >> number have gone on to work in audio for shows hike snapshot judgment or users like reuters we've shown we can bring skills to those folks that serve them

in the workplace and it is also been important it is not just about what we can do for people in the audio complained by the way, what they bring their own information we might not to have assess and for the last 5 years have hosted summary or summer interns primarily from burlington high not solely but we have dedicated resources to pay for stipends and hired staff to specifically work with the students in audio journalism in public radio they may not have been in a position to again, the to the place they can have a commentary or a story on the air it is up to our standards we are looking at and applied for the

grant of the california arts council to expand that so have 5 std students at the station. >> minimum keep it at the level we're committed and love having the students there everything is about growing through the listener support we like i said 2/3rd's of the budget comes if listeners and in in this year we set ambitious goals to improve the growth pattern we're on and making one time expenditures i'll talk about unfortunately year to date june 31st we have the numbers are looking positive so the blue bars with the actual dollars year to date jan 31st comparing the last 4 fiscal years we're up by about 8 percent over the last two years and steady support

versus overseeing years and also the red line is very, very important to me which is about growing the actual number of donors the members that are supporting this station is up by about 9 percent year from last year our 75 anniversary that was circling people to give you think that also in the election year and this election year in particular people recognition the value of the service and step forwarding when is great we can stay in line with the combroelz goals and looking forward to my priorities as the leader of the station to complete the work we're doing on the space at burton hi as you may know we spent the last 13 months outside of basically in the parking lot of burlington high a couple of visited and

finally governor brown guess it was last week we make it into the spice burton high is a yearlong renovation process the work is not done a lot of updates to the studios a number one we have new equipment that is to be replaced but really expand what we can do in the space aconfigure from analog ho we do our productions this is a be short time important role and another bigger one for me as the leader is policy building with the structure of the districts policy that as a radio station as a media entity there is a lot of specific policies internally about how we work from what

kickoff how we conduct our journalism to make sure there is or are not conflict of interests who is doing the broadcasting i'm using this opportunity to move into the space at a time to really think about how to clarify those policies for people inside the station which goings-on for a rake of people to people in the audio academy who have been around and looking at the policies that communications across from the staff people to the volunteers and trainings the other area that is really, really important is investing in the development capacity we've grown a lot in terms of the program and our development capacity and if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer themably and getting the philanthropic support we do has not grown co-sponsoringly we

have an incredible development team and a gentleman a handling a small amount of people doing incredible stuff and with the programming management would we'll be in balance and need to work on steering more the resources to make sure we have more resources to get more resources. >> i know that is incredibly important and finally i talked about this before and talking to i really know the sustainability of the stations financially but in terms of take full vantage the opportunities in serving this community and collaboratively with the communities are will require us to tap sweet spots community for the work we do i have not mad the progress in the last year, i certainly want to move other things heard but consider this really

the key to the fire chief the thought station. >> thank you loans o lessons how to do community around a 50 is adjunct to the station thank them for that and want to thank two other people like i said we've been in the process of rebuilding the studios we have a chief a person that works nights and weekend james he's strapped for time but a big project i can't believe what eave be able to move forward really doing it around the contours and i want to thank phillip pubically and to really is everyone at the station for lisa and others done

great work a colleague is something o someone who is a legendary by the way, listener for a long term and donated his time and we are very, very grateful with that, i'm open up to you all and thank you very much thank you so much for your presentation any public comment? seeing none, colleagues

commissioner norton >> thank you thanks for the report always nice to see you oh, that's the time of year georgia again, i'm proud for a member and renew my membership this year i want to ask a little bit about some of our financial position because it seems like in the last few years you've operating deficits not huge ones but i can you talk a little bit about that and i hear you're wanting to invest in development that's a that's a great question but where those come from and our opportunity to address that. >> i really think the opportunity to address it - i mean, i'll be honest i spent a lot of time this is probably the case for my development director working in partnership we're spending a lot of time inside

and not enough time outside the real opportunity obviously we have an incredible basis of orders some of whom we have been conflicting around the major gifts to do the work and this is my director managed and said we need to open up more of my time not working on day to day financial accounting so we can look at the higher level for the staff with the large donors i mean when it comes to the defic deficits you know is really been around we've grown we've taken opportunities around programming i think that would have been a mistake not to tampa them up but at the same time, i on the fix

is on the revenue side but i'm also in a place we can't take on new projects we can expand and are stephanie not just the development but our management capacity so i'm trying to hold the line it is hard there are a lot of opportunities. >> focused on how to take on the revenue side i think that you know in the scheme of the burr we're a small organization but it is figuring out how to take the time and other leadership of the station. >> you don't want to be the downer i think that is great the investment i think there is great things doing so all good but it comes at a price so we'll be not doing our job if we

didn't look at that it is wise to invest and shore up the refers the trend - i'm not alarmed but is another year you start to see that. >> thank you comprehends commissioner vice president mendosa-mcdonnell thank you i enjoy hearing the work and i'm grad you had a chance to come out and dr. murase do the if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer theming effort is great and excited to see your new face we are a the bungalow. >> when we get things zipped up you're welcome i think in april we'll have it all. >> i definitely want to come out and hang out with camille

you know that. >> (laughter). and then i know one of the things we've talked about over the years is more programming about our schools and i did connect you with someplace that was interested in doing some going to the school and doing stories i'm wondering how you're thinking about that or how we, incorporate more stories about students - one the students we were talking about over the weekend was the the affirmative for the school of the art and big deal been cool to have a moment with him, i want to just think about that >> for the first time we've

hired some part time b loaders education so not solely in san francisco so we're putting effort targeted saying okay how can we decade that we definitely have had ivy think we need a line of communication you, you know about stories in the district in a way we may not know necessarily i know there are definitely minded when jeff has pitched things our direction we cannot take up all of them but definitely the set of students that went to washington for the women's march that was a good example kate here's an opportunity and actually first brought to us oh, you want to publicize this we're interested in empowering the kids so maybe that's i think that will be part

of approach in terms of the what are the examples - making it clear so people in the district know here's where the ideas come and so on our radar. >> yeah. i i get it your bay area but we own the station so i guess to me it is almost like it becomes you know an even tuesday story because this is our station and i feel like we don't - like you'll not know that is ours we're can't give to anyone else and i really would love to see more stories we have e-mails that go out on the new feed regularly that, you know, that highlights all the stories throughout the schools and i

don't know if you receive that but that is you know a good way to do that we believing and highlights a bunch of things i'm not looking for i know you have to do news worthy news i think we want to be able to highlight sfusd you know the radio station commissioner murase. >> first of all, i want to congratulate you, mr. martin because i often say? my first school board you need a line of credit to keep the station going it has controversial i was getting e-mails why are you funding a radio station when the schools have a gap but it was a wise decision you managed to bring the radio station from the

brink and recognition you for your personal leadership leadership in you know really e reenabling this station but i want to build only commissioner norton's concern about revenues and the unified school district recently started the on 50 is sparks school if you need technical assistance we have that here at the unified school district we have a new leader that works on the private giving so we have that resource here so i think there is a lot of opportunity more than a partnership one of my questions he asked several years ago was whether you had an advisory committee because clearly you

were shouldering everything and sounds like you condition to shoulder a lot when you might benefit from having a team that perhaps has network that can help with the if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer theming end ever things i encourage you to pursue the having the governing board, and, secondly, building on commissioner vice president mendosa-mcdonnell commit i'd like to see more content but like to know you have gifts in and out of our station but making the guests available to burton between the community and the operating nationally recognized are station recently

and a committee meeting we were discussing the internal designation that is not what i like to see would love to see more of a community around the station the high schools i appreciate that the students have summer internships at the station it is labor intensify to see the interns at the station but 0 another resource another way in which the station can be for the school to perhaps have some of our speakers in the classrooms or an assembly you know come out that would be a big event for a school and to bring some benefit to the benefit to the school beyond the

internship will be great. >> ms. eng. >> thank you for the presentation and having so much original content and casing with the school board meeting and mp r with the content as well i wanted to community-based in the back of commissioner murase her students have a connection to the community whether the neighborhood businesses i think outside the box pretty important, and, secondly, you talked about hiring students during the summary i have a friend that actually did that last summer really enjoyed it so a comment to hire more students from various backwards to expand the program if you can i know a

lot of students at the - would benefit from the program thank you very much. >> supervisor coke. >> thank you for your presentation and also want to commend around the organizations so i can only imagine to come out and ask for support and then have to rebuild to so congratulations and a variety of programming that you offer and i wanted to just hear our initial thoughts based on the recommendations of commissioner vice president mendosa-mcdonnell and commissioner murase can you respond. >> so the i mean the idea of trying to leverage some of the people coming into the station

with burton this is great i like working on a campus like when we managed the leverage connections with the students in the station requires coordination you make the things happen we're having a guest how will we set up the opportunities i think a great conduct and working closely with the arts commission academy teachers this is a a good place to do that every student does this job i think that to me is a doable idea i like that bringing it into a clamor. >> i agree that will be a good thing. >> putting it with a little bit of work and think about doing something like that i think the question how we covered the unified school district and bringing forward

unified school district stories i think that is more and more challenging i have a hard time asking my news department teacher you're in charge cover the unified school district they wanted to covered that is not way i want to ask my new employees to do but not meaning there a can't be other forms of the supporting the stories and maybe look at that out of journalism perspective there is journalism different responsibilities there obviously in a basic way talk about the lunches and talk about the events coming up in the district so there may be a way to do that i think it needs to be outside of the news and public affairs because their you'll have a report what is news worthy and also to be able to report the things news worthy and not necessarily

what the district want us to support i have to been what form that might take to think about what you're suggesting i know there is undone work about representing great stuff happening in the district so - >> in terms of i mean speaking to your ability to turn the stations financial situation around i'm sure you can create a way to address the concerns and what we think is a reasonable timeline that present some of those suggestions to follow up lion 60 or 90 days to talk about that. >> you're saying we'll be doing our budgeting process this is a good time to do that 60 days - 90 days tell me the

format. >> commissioner vice president mendosa-mcdonnell. >> i'd like to see something in the next 60 days thinking around it and other ideas that be be awesome. >> to clarify around the budget questions. >> no no about how you can incorporate the school districts in news and other things even what commissioner murase recommended to be connected to the school there is great teacher stories and things that are national and hooifltd you know, i know that is good.

>> item m consent calendar resolutions there is none tonight. item n vote a consent calendar that was there is a motion that has been seconded under section f voted ms. casco. >> thank you ms. eng ms. zaragoza mr. cook mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell except for item k-11 that was retracted. >> thank you dr. murase ms. norton mr. sanchez president walton thank you o consent calendar severed for boards immediate action 13 item p now introduce and assigned for that the committee for the superintendent proposal

committed to students safety and insuring conduct of all the employees but - we are very concerned with a couple of issues the first to the extent that any of the impacts impact the safety issues beyond the scope of bargaining and like you to go through them one by one and see if any should be subject to - and stepping back broadly we really ask you consider as the policy written not gone too far in the context of the extreme teacher shortage so have a written policy that includes 0 prohibiting a behavior that is touching students without a

educational purpose not funny but shocking to me as a human being parent a teacher a person in the district to think our district will have a written policy you can't touch a kid without an cycle purpose i challenge anyone to be in a clamor for more than a day without a need not a human need but part of teaching is being human and a good part of being teachers we know the boundaries but the most effective teaches have an element of being a human i can't hug my kindergartener when this kid needs a hug for a version for mission high school and high school and i worry about this will have an chilling affect on in the district and coming to the district i mean, i

do permanent know teachers in the district for many years who have modified the way they behave because not wanting to be subject to you know undue discipline so we really urge you to step back and consider that particular sections of the guidelines and as you go moving towards adapting a policy that meets the purposes meets the students purposes we're a caring proliferation and we need to act appropriately without going overboard and mr. paying educators and really cannot i'm afraid if you can't touch a kid in san francisco a young teacher saying that's enough i'll go somewhere else thank you. >> thank you

item q introduction of proposals for immediate action, there is none tonight. item r board members standing committee report from the curriculum and program committee mr. haney. >> thank you report from ad hoc committee school district and ms. mendoza-mcdonne mendoza-mcdonnell. >> yes. the joint committee we should have a joint - >> that's worth reporting here we go. >> so that the school district city college was great to get back together we have several new commissioners that are coming over from city college
