these gun shows at the cow palace. i'm just going to read one of the whereas clauses that says whereas tuesday, april 26, 2016 the san francisco board of education passed a resolution that says thank you for all acts in support of gun control and eliminating gun violence in our communities. this resolution and this legislation that is happening at the state level is in support of our values as a district and it's in support of what we believe in so i want to thank commissioner merase, president mendoza-mcdonnell for coauthoring this, and the therefore clause reads therefore, be it resolved the san francisco unified school district supports senator scott wieners proposal.

and last thing, i would just add, this does preclude if they want to host gun buy backs or things that are positive, and to make sure that we help remove guns from our community versus promoting more guns in our community. so thank you. >> thank you. i do not have any public speakers signed up on this. are there any comments by the board or superintendent? seeing none, roll call vote. >> clerk: thank you.

two minutes for this item, but i do not have any public speakers signed up on this. we do have two minutes for you to speak, miss sanchez. [inaudible] >> yes. >> okay. hello, again. thank you to the san francisco bool skoord and dr. matthews staying so late tonight and giving me the opportunity to speak. my name is margaret reyes. i am an employee here in san francisco, and employee i.d. 18505. i am here requesting the school conduct an audit with respect to sfusd's skelly hearings.

this is about civil rights. skelly hearings was about civil rights. i was put through a skelly hearing on march 23, 2018. i'm certain that the people involved in it knew that the -- that this was not up to code, and they proceeded any ways. again, i ask that you take civil rights seriously and look into this. my own union refuses to deal with it. they have acknowledged that it was not a skelly hearing. they have acknowledged in writing to me and on audio that the procedures were not followed, but they are not holding the district accountable for not following skelly procedure. again, on may 11, 2018, i was put through another hearing that was not up to california code. labor relations is now calling

that hearing a skelly hearing. they are putting it on writing that on may 11, 2018, a skelly hearing happened. that is not true. i'm certain of it, and again, i ask that you investigate this. i respectfully request that the san francisco school board take civil rights seriously. i can conduct a full investigation in human resources labor relations and uesf. thank you for your time. >> thank you. the next item is proposition a, appendix f. two minutes on this, too, miss casco. >> all right. thank you, again. my -- to the school board and

dr. matthews for staying so late. my name is margaret reyes, and i'm here to officially request that you investigate and publish all about proposition a/appendix f 2018. i was employed at that time. i actually volunteered on proposition a. i have searched high and low. i cannot see that the voters or board members who voted in 2018 had any idea about appendix f. if the voters were given an opportunity to know about this, i ask that you please publish it. also, i ask that the amount of times that proposition -- or excuse me, appendix f has been used be published. i'd like a detailed explanation as to why ten years after appendix f was voted on or was put in it remains buried in the

contract. you have not baked in into the main part of the contract. several parts of appendix f actually contradict the main part of contract. both uesf and sfusd continue to bury is in the contract. so i'd ask for a detailed explanation as to why. again, proposition a, appendix f can lead to the union having no power to veto who gets put into par. we know par is a punitive program. we know that it is discriminatory, and proposition a, appendix f did force the union to give up all their power. again, if you could give us some history, publish the history as to how that happened back in 2008, i think the public deserves to now. again, thank you for your time, and i request all information regarding the history of proposition a/appendix f.

thank you. >> thank you. section m is our memorial adjournment. i'm going to be adjourning this in memory of violeona howard w passed away at the age of 98 on may 22, 2018. she earned the distinction of having a district public school, the leola m.havard early education school named after her in her lifetime. born april 3, 1920 in ethyl, louisiana, she was the second child of oliver and lieu morgan. she received her early education in the public schools of baton rouge, louisiana. she completed her early

education at university of louisiana and earned a master of arts at san francisco state university. her childhood dream was always to become a teacher. she began her career at an educator in the sfusd on the faculty of patrick henry elementary school. later, she taught at gar eye and mckinley elementary schools. unsurprisingly, she was a consummate educator. for example, it was important to her that fourth graders begin to appreciate the communities in which they reside. accordingly as a fourth grade teacher, she began taking children on community visits to create an interest in and familiarize them with neighborhoods. it was during her tenure at mckinley that she was appointed the assistant principal of marshall annex elementary school. a newspaper article written during the time described her as the first negro woman administrator in the san francisco school system. she also served as an

assistance praent at starky elementary school again earning the distinction as the first african american woman to hold such a position in the sfusd. under her leadership, test scores improved significantly. she retired from the school district in 1981, after 31 years of service. the superintendent robert alioto, in honor of her status in the district was the first black woman administrator, as the first black woman administrator, escorted her to her retirement dinner. it was a most joyous occasion. she was both astonished and elated -- in 2011 under the leadership of dr. amos brown, president of the san francisco branch of the naacp, the san francisco unified school

district board of education recognized her dedication and service to students, parents and the community by unanimously voting to change the name of the burnet child development agency to the leona m.havard early education school. the sfusd has bestowed this honor on only two other living persons. she was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, charles, brothers and sister-in-laws lawrence and gladys morgan, clarence and evelyn morgan, and her sister, jean simms. her love, generosity, graciousness, tenacity will be missed by many. her nephews and nieces include debra simms, a former

administrator in our district, and a loving church family. the board of education and superintendent of schools extends sincere condolences to the havard and morgan families. commissioner walton? >> thank you, president mendoza-mcdonnell. this is in memory, honest aring the work, advocacy and life of barbara brown with the san francisco unified school district, the mission district and the community at large, and her daughter is here, along with her grandson, and i know her other grandchildren were here earlier, as well as her son-in-law, and thank you all for staying this late as we honor your grandmother and your mother. whereas on sunday, may 20, 2018, barbara brown left in world to be with her family members who have preceded her in death, and whereas barbara brown worked for the san francisco unified school district for 30 years. and whereas barbara brown took pride in her career, particularly her work for

almost 20 years at cesar chavez elementary school, on formerly named hawthorne in san francisco's mission district. and whereas barbara brown also enjoyed working in the san francisco unified school district drop out prevention unit, helping many families in keeping their students in school, and whereas bash la brown took pride in her loving family, two children. and whereas barbara brown was broern in guatemala, and whereas barbara brown considered both guatemala and you the states her two homes and raised her children to be proud of who they are, and belonging to both. barbara brown left this world a better place.

therefore be it resolved that the board of education of the san francisco unified school district here by honors barbara brown's commitment to the children and families of this district -- of this district and her contributions to san francisco's community at large. and this was also read and presented to the brown family on may 25th at her memorial service.

>> neighborhood in san francisco are also diverse and fascist as the people that inhabitable them we're in north beach about supervisor peskin will give us a tour and introduce is to what think of i i his favorite district 5 e 3 is in the

northwest surrounded by the san francisco bay the district is the boosting chinatown oar embarcadero financial district fisherman's wharf exhibit no. north beach telegraph hill and part of union square. >> all of san francisco districts are remarkable i'm honored and delighted to represent really whereas with an the most intact district got chinatown, north beach fisherman's wharf russian hill and knob hill and the northwest waterfront some of the most wealthier and inning e impoverished people in san francisco obgyn siding it is ethically exists a bunch of tight-knit neighborhoods people know he each other by name a

wonderful placed physically and socially to be all of the neighborhoods north beach and chinatown the i try to be out in the community as much as and i think, being a the cafe eating at the neighborhood lunch place people come up and talk to you, you never have time alone but really it is fun hi, i'm one the owners and is ceo of cafe trespassing in north beach many people refer to cafe trees as a the living room of north beach most of the clients are local and living up the hill come and meet with each other just the way the united states been since 1956 opposed by the grandfather a big people person people had people coming since the day we opened. >> it is of is first place on

the west that that exposito 6 years ago but anyone was doing that starbuck's exists and it created a really welcoming pot. it is truly a legacy business but more importantly it really at the take care of their community my father from it was formally italy a fisherman and that town very rich in culture and music was a big part of it guitars and sank and combart in the evening that tradition they brought this to the cafe so many characters around here everything has incredible stories by famous folks last week the cafe that paul carr tennessee take care from the jefferson starship hung out the cafe are the famous poet

lawrence william getty and jack herb man go hung out. >> they work worked at a play with the god fathers and photos he had his typewriter i wish i were here back there it there's a lot of moving parts the meeting spot rich in culture and artists and musicians epic people would talk with you >> i'm rebecca and i'm a violinist and violin teacher. i was born here in san francisco to a family of cellists, professional cellists, so i grew

up surrounded by a bunch of musical rehearsals an lessons. all types of activities happened in my house. i began playing piano when i was 4. i really enjoyed musical activities in general. so when i was 10, i began studying violin in san francisco. and from there, i pretty much never stopped and went on to study in college as well. that's the only thing i've ever known is to have music playing all the time, whether it is someone actually playing next to you or someone listening to a recording. i think that i actually originally wanted to play flute and we didn't have a flute. it's always been a way of life. i didn't know that it could be any other way. >> could you give me an e over here. great. when you teach and you're seeing

a student who has a problem, you have to think on your feet to solve that problem. and that same kind of of thinking that you do to fix it applies to your own practice as well. so if i'm teaching a student and they are having a hard time getting a certain note, they can't find the right note. and i have to think of a digestible way to explain it to them. ee, d, d, e. >> yes. then, when i go on to do my own practice for a performance, those words are echoing back in my head. okay. why am i missing this? i just told somebody that they needed to do this. maybe i should try the same thing. i feel a lot of pressure when i'm teaching young kids. you might think that there is less pressure if they are going on to

study music or in college that it is more relaxing. i actually find that the opposite is true. if i know i'm sending a high school student to some great music program, they're going to get so much more instruction. what i have told them is only the beginning. if i am teaching a student who i know is going to completely change gears when they go to college and they never will pick up a violin again there is so much that i need to tell them. in plain violin, it is so difficult. there is so much more information to give. every day i think, oh, my gosh. i haven't gotten to this technique or we haven't studies they meese and they have so much more to do. we only have 45 minutes a week. i have taught a few students in some capacity who has gone on to study music. that feels anaysing. >> it is incredible to watch how they grow. somebody can make amazing project from you know, age 15 to

17 if they put their mind to it. >> i think i have 18 students now. these more than i've had in the past. i'm hoping to build up more of a studio. there will be a pee ono, lots of bookshelves and lots of great music. the students will come to my house and take their lessons there. my schedule changes a lot on a day-to-day basis and that kind of keeps it exciting. think that music is just my favorite thing that there is, whether it's listening to it or playing it or teaching it. all that really matters to me is that i'm surrounded by the sounds, so i'm going top keep doing what i'm doing to keep my life in that direction.

>> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. >> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos. so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists,

and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm

going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. >> we try to cook food that you

don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally.

>> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon

cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the

operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

>> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one

roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that ener ,

the current facility and the new facility. >> the planning we have here gives them the opportunity to have the pool needs to complete theirs jobs in a much more streamlined fashion. >> we're looking forward to have secured parking to minimize the egress of you know visiting and the members of the public but really to minimize the investigators remaining remains from our advancing and so the facility. >> we have a new visitors area we're building that is a little bit more friendly to families. >> one thing you may notice in the room no windows there is no natural light not good for most autopsy but in the new facility at new hall we made that an

objective they want to insure we were able to look up in the middle of exam and see the sky and see natural lights. >> that's one of the things the architect did to draw in as much light as possible. >> we have staff here onsite we insure the design of the new design enables the investigators and other investigators skiefksz to consider to house on site this meant we needed to design and plan for locker room facilities and shower rooms the ability to sleep. >> third of the construction going into the building has been by contributions of small businesses. >> part of the project is also inclusive to the sidewalk have all new sidewalks and new curve cuts and landscaping around the
