where instruction is happening in the primary language. we're finding that even if there are some classrooms, they're providing consent instruction, in the primary language and either cantonese or mandarin, they're performing at a higher level than the spanish speaking els. >> is there a comparison made amongst students who have become reclassified between them and they're in a dual immersion or not in one of the programs at all? >> yes. well students that are actually, we did have a study that shows that students who enter a pathway, comparing them to just those in general education, they do outperform the students in general education. so the use of language instruction does support their learning. >> when was that done?

>> that was our stanford study, a 10-year study that we had presented to the board in 2013-14. >> commissioner sanchez: so you think those results stand right now? >> right now, we're actually taking that longitudinal data and running our own data as well to take a look at student cohorts who come in a particular year. >> commissioner sanchez: i'm really happy to hear about the eld curriculum or materials. i don't think we use curriculum, but what do you think the time line is for that, in terms of getting that, a, into the classrooms and, b, the professional development that needs to go along with it? >> i think right now the plan is to first get the feedback, input from the teachers, make some decisions, plan for the pd during the summer and into the fall and i think we're hoping to

get the materials in the schools by the fall. >> commissioner sanchez: is that going to be adoption that the board gets to look at? or is that something we don't review? >> hi, commissioners, i'm the chief academic officer with the district. right now, we're contemplating three instructional materials that have been vetted by the multilingual pathway department. we're taking those materials in person to three different sites, one in mission, one in excelsior and other in breo to share them with teachers. all of those materials are available online and we're soliciting feedback from the teachers as they look at the materials. having received that feedback, we're prepared to make a selection and then purchase universally for all of the classroom teachers at k-5 level.

we've been doing professional development on the framework. so we're confident that in many schools they've been exposed to the framework that the materials will serve as a supplement to the use of that framework. and that's the way we're contemplating this purchase. we're not intending it to serve as a curriculum to follow from day 1 to day 180, but rather materials that support instruction in keeping with that framework. >> commissioner sanchez: thank you. >> thank you commissioner. >> commissioner murase: i have spent some time with the mission education center and the chinese education center and of course all the students are newcomers and the chinese education center has been very successful in moving their students on in a year. but with the spanish -- with

mission education center, in speaking with the principal, they have had to make adjustments with some of the students who just one year is not enough. and one of the biggest factors is trauma. so i really hope that -- i'm sorry that he's not here to address this, but we're connecting the english language learners with resources for resilience and strength-building, because the students at mission education center, clearly have had very, very traumatic experiences that have become barriers to learning. and the sooner that we can connect them with resources and really address those sources of trauma as early as possible, i think that is one of the reasons why we see such a differential outcome between the chinese and spanish english language learners and i hope we can provide the support needed.

and reexamine whether one year is a realistic goal for trauma-impacted students. >> we also have a significant number of students, not only dealing with trauma, but there are students with interrupted formal education and many of them are coming from central america, where their schooling has been interrupted. to deal with with the trauma, though, we do have a newcomer coordinator, district-wide coordinator that was brought onto address a lot of our unaccompanied immigrant youth. her focus has been trying to make sure all the newcomer centres and pathways have the resources and we collaborate with city partners as well to make sure appropriate resources are available for the students. >> commissioner walton and then commissioner norton.

should we be expecting a dramatic increase in how quickly we classify across the board? >> i think that some of the schools and the teachers had identified some of the barriers, because we only counted ela course for the elementary and we're counting eld grades as well. and we're opening up access for the teacher evaluation form as well. so we are expecting greater numbers but increase in numbers due to the increase in access.

>> commissioner norton: thank you. i'm just wondering how these criteria interact with students who have disabilities, particularly those with speech and language, how do we interact with that? >> within the iep process, the team looks at first the standard reclassification criteria to see if the student was with the english learner could meet that standard criteria. if they're not able to do that, we have an individualized process and that's where the team determines the appropriate assessments for that particular student to meet the reclassification criteria.

>> any other questions? >> i have a question. just with regards to the numbers. is this common? it seems like we're not reclassifying a whole lot of students. >> well, i'm looking forward to actually the year end reclassification numbers. in the preliminary numbers we're reclassifying a couple hundred more than last year. i think we're -- we'll do the multiyear trend so you can see the growth. >> that would be helpful. and just related to the last time we had conversations around reclassification, when we did the bilingual task force conversation, we were talking about the notifications that go to the parents. has that improved? >> yes. so this year, we started a new

process where the parent gets multiple notification, they get notified when their child is eligible for reclassification and forms are sent to multilingual pathway departments and now they're also being notified for the final results. they'll receive a letter indicating whether the reclassification is formalized or whether or not it did not go through. and that is something new this year. >> thank you. any other questions or comments? ok. i think we're all set on this. we are doing a roll call. >> min yes. ong yes. norton yes. sanchez yes. walton yes.

mendoza-mcdonnell yes. >> thank you, appreciate it. our next item is calling a public hearing on adoption of the modification of school facilities, impact fees to the collected for residential, commercial and industrial developments. >> second. >> superintendent, you want to read the designations into the record? >> i'll have mr. lee introduce the team. i want to make sure that we have to open or call, or any official language in terms of opening and closing the hearing? >> i believe president mcdonnell used the appropriate language to open the hearing. ok.

>> let me, superintendent and commissioners, let me just ask our interim chief facilities officer to introduce our brief presentation team, ruth and our consultant from the consulting firm that prepared the justification study for the developer fees. >> good evening, commissioners, superintendent, colleagues, i would like to present who prepared our justification study. >> thank you, commissioners. i'll just read the recommendation into the record that, the recommendation is that the board of education of the

san francisco unified school district conduct a public hearing. making adjustments to the school facilities impact fees, rates to be collected from residential and commercial developments. dated may 1, 2018, so these raise the fees to the new state maximum fees that be charged on residential and commercial construction, to 3.79 per square foot for residential. and from 56 cents for commercial industrial to 61 cents per square foot. if approved, the new fees take effect within 60 days. and with that, we take questions. >> thank you, commissioner walton. >> there is nothing we can do to go above what the state maximum is? >> they are maximum rates. districts are allowed to charge higher alternative school fees,

but the formula that goes into that would not work out for this particular district in terms of the criterion used to calculate that fee. >> other questions. >> commissioner murase: do we have projections what we anticipate to derive in revenue from the new schedule? >> i would just look at it as being about 8% increase in the fees, so if the amount of development that occurred over the next year, the same that happened over the past year, you'd see roughly 8% increase. it depends on how much development occurs. but the fee level is about 8.5%. >> any other questions? >> commissioner norton: i did notice at one point, but i know we've been in a situation where we've been allowed to raise

pretty frequently over the last few years. are there situations where we could be forced to lower them? what are the criteria for that? >> certainly if -- so you'll see in the reports that you're currently showing impact of $4.23 per square foot, you're only allowed to charge $3.79, it's the state maximum. there could be where enrollment declines, where the average home produces fewer kids, those are the factor that go into the calculation, so if those change in the future, the fee could go down or be less than the state maximum. >> commissioner norton: to commissioner walton's question, is there a remedy? i mean would there have to be legislation at the state level to raise the maximum?

or is there a way that happens how does that happen? >> the fee you're charging was originally established in 1986 has been increased over time based on the construction cost index that gets looked at every two years to make the adjustment. any large scale changes would impact all school districts across the state. >> any other questions or comments? seeing none, roll call vote, please. min yes. ong ye. mr. cook, yes. mr. haney yes. dr. murase yes. mr. sanchez, yes. mr. walton yes. president mcdonnell yes. >> i wonder if there is any

pathway to allowing us to increase the fees beyond what they are? >> i think one of the things that has come up with the developer fees, the question whether there are enough developer fees to invest in a school. the idea around the fees is that we would be collecting to build a school in a community. but we never collect enough to build a school. but we collected over the course of several years, but it would be really interesting whether it is rules that we should kind of figure that out. even to the conversations we're having with planning. you know, how that whole thing works. ok. thank you. thank you, all. our next item is section h, discussion of other educational issues, there are none tonight. section i is consent calendars,

there are none today. section j, proposal and assignment to committee, public and board comment on proposals, there are none. board poll 6184 continuation, education, board policy 6142.7, physical education and activity, board policy 6146.1, graduation requirements, and number 5, board members proposal 185-22 a 1 in support of making college more accessible to students introduced by commissioner cook. these policies are referred to the rules policy and legislative committee unless legal counsel deems otherwise. i actually have four. ok, right, but there is still four. so there is policy 6184.

6142. 6146. and then the board proposal. >> president, i recommend that physical education and high school graduation, which are 3 and 4 also to go to curriculum and program committee? >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: so all four should go to policy and then the board proposal should go to curriculum? or just -- >> sorry, so you have continuation education, that should go to just rules and policy committee. then you have physical education and high school graduation, those should both go to curriculum and program. and then the board resolution on city college should go to curriculum and program. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: so we've got them different than what was noted.

>> president mendoza-mcdonnell: but she just said three of them is going to curriculum and one of them to rules. you have three going to rules and one going to curriculum. [inaudible] >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: right. but it's still three and one. so commissioner, do you have a comment? >> commissioner sanchez: maybe the board members resolution could also be sent to the joint committee with city college? it deals with city college. >> is it specific to city college or college in general? >> city college. i'm also being informed that it should go to budget. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: so we should have a committee of the whole on this. >> it's looking that way. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: continuation education goes to rules. physical ed and activity will go to curriculum. high school graduation will go

to curriculum. and board member on making college more accessible will be a cow. is that correct? >> yes. and physical education and activity also should go to rules and high school graduation requirements should also going to rules. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: so we're going to have those two go to rules and curriculum. and then just continuing education just to rules. and then the cow for the board member proposal? ok. did you get all that. thank you. >> point of information, commissioner norton, is there a curriculum committee meeting? >> there is not a curriculum committee meeting until august. we're cancelling the june meeting. is that going impact? does this need to happen before the beginning of the school year? >> let me just look at the other items that are sitting on that committee?

>> if we need to hear it in june, we can schedule one off in june to hear it. so it's not, you know, it's not a deal breaker. >> on that point, i'm going to defer to deputy superintendent and chief brent stevens, because the high school graduation and physical education and activity, i think there is urgency to those two. >> if we could... >> so can we pull the members of the -- poll the members of the committee to make sure that june 18th works? >> my understanding is rules committee has been scheduled for the 18th, so there may be musical chairs involved. >> how about rules goes -- how

about [laughter] -- >> we'll work that out. so we will have a rules committee in june so that we can have this taken care of before summer. ok. so can i hear a motion and a second for first reading to the policies and for 185-22 a 1. >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. suspension of the rules, there are none tonight. section l, board members reports. standing committees, can i get a report from the committee of the whole? commissioner cook? you've already taken care of that. report from curriculum, commissioner norton. >> commissioner norton: there were two items on the agenda, the first was the petition for the mary l. booker leadership academy. that petition was given a negative recommendation by the

committee. the other item was informational item on really a very broad array of summer programming that students will receive this summer. and options. it seems like it's been expanded a lot during the time i've been on the board. and it was very interrogatory interesting to -- very interesting to hear about all the summer options to students. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you. board delegates to membership organizations. anyone have any reports on that? all other reports by board members? anyone have anything else to mention? >> commissioner murase: thank you, i wanted to announce the strengthening k-12 arts town hall, sfusd representatives want to hear from the community about shaping the future of arts education. there is one remaining town hall auto of the series -- out of the

million over the last six years. it's a true champions effort to really invest in our public schools. and they're also in oakland. and in addition to that, what they've been doing for children's hospital, and for our homeless program, heading home campaign, has raised $30 million which will be going specifically to homeless students in sfusd, starting in elementary school. i think it was just a wonderful testament to the investment made by a san franciscan and somebody who has worked really hard to ensure that we're taking care of those that are most vulnerable. and so i wanted to just give him a shoutout, give them a shoutout and to thank sale force for the work they do alongside sfusd. any other announcements?

supported by their community. you all are receiving educator of the year awards but you deserve much more. i remember my first year as a reading recovery teacher i had a student who was a cute little 6-year-old but he was clinically depressed. he came from a traumatized background and i remember telling my supervisor i don't think i can teach this child to read. she said you are a reading teacher, teach him to read and see what happen. i was able to teach him to read and write and he reached proficiency and somewhere his self-esteem shifted and it was part of him turning the corner. dition to receiving the award that you are receiving, i would like to nominate you all for psychologist of the year, social worker of the year. [laughter] life coach of the year.

knows what that means in your own job. i have a particular angle i want to share with you. it also means in this world of 2018 making sure that educators are not spending time giving assessment that is are not useful for their teaching and sharing with you the information that the board of education received recommendations from a joint district family union assessment community which includes i limb natio eliminatie assessment, so brought we forward and that means less teaching and more learning. that is a gift to you of time. i know that is really stretching it, but i had to put it in. [laughter] one last form of appreciation which you are all aware, appreciation can and should mean a living wage, so i'm shameless.

[applause] i'm shameless and determined that educators in the city will have a living wage from here on in and so on june 5 san francisco ha has the opportunito vote yes on prop g. thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the reception.
