to speak under any point and we will take our two minutes each if we choose to, that's in our contract. so, first of all, i want to thank the parents and staff from, well from the two schools that came from guadaloupe and malcolm x to speak up for your school sites. i know the commissioners and superintendent understand it's quite a sacrifice for students and parents to come to the school board to speak but here you are, so thank you very much. there's a common thread here which is the school board is being asked to do the right thing by the students at these schools. both schools in the southeast part of our city. and the common thread is listen to the people doing the work. listen to the parents whose children are at these school sites.

if we keep the interest of the children at the center of our discussions we will make the right decisions. that's what i'm asking you to do tonight. at guadaloupe, there are choices to be made around administrator, i think you could probably find an equitable solution for that school that will address the needs spoken to by the parents and the staff here, a question of co-location, it flies in the face of rational thought to co-locate a school into malcolm x. it makes no sense. the same evening we were given the report about african american achievement in the districts. almost any of those pages speaks to the need for stability in this community. each one of you has a job. imagine having a whole other set of -- another organization thrust into your work place.

you know what that would mean. do unto others as you would have done unto you and think of the kids. thank you very much. [applause] >> good evening, commissioners and superintendent matthews, i'm susan solomon, executive vice president of united educators of san francisco. i believe the malcolm x academy has said what has needed to be said very eloquently as has president blanc. i won't take the two minutes to repeat it. but i want to make it clear united educators of san francisco stands in support of the malcolm x academy community. thank you.

louis brown, ladies and gentlemen. [applause] >> i only have a couple of minutes before all the bells start ringing and the horns start going off. commemorating the time in which the quake actually hit san francisco. it was some time ago when the first, serving as mayor, that you suggested somehow this fountain should really work. we worked on it and put out a lot of money but we had one great leader doing the job of making sure this fountain ultimately worked. and that was ed lee. he is been referenced by several people. when they've come to say words but there's no way for this city to thank ed lee, except every time we pause, just at the time

the bell starts to ring, we must remember the water is flowing because of ed lee. the mayor of san francisco. it's interesting that that would be the case because at the time, in 1906, the chinese, who were harmed just as the quake hit, were not permitted to use the quake. in the conversation with ed lee about the restoration of the quake, we had that in mind and so on this morning and on this day, i am just delighted that we are pausing to say thank you to a chinese brother who helped put the water back in here for all of us in this to yo true spiritn francisco. please, thank you ed lee. [applause] over the years i've had a great relationship with ed lee. he worked with me, he worked for me, he worked in every capacity

he was ever called upon by this city and by you and he did an excellent job. it was because he had an incredible help mate and she's here this morning, you know, i don't know, i think she works as an uber driver part-time. so i'm just going to ask her to step up here. this is anita lee. [applause] ed's widow and next to him is the mayor of san francisco, and we are about to put a wreath. >> are you ready. >> i'll grab it.
