i'm highly encourage. i do think that we should be finding out in realtime how many staff have had that training. that's basically pulling the principals who pulls the site for the staff. making it -- i don't know what we can provide. i have had personally the training. i instituted at both schools as principal. we saw great results overtime. i think we need make i it it's happening as much as possible. if we look at the schools on the new slides that the heat maps, all the ones in the red at the bottom red, we should prioritize those schools.

we need it make sure that those schools are not just encouraged but given lot of encourage to get there. do you have any comments on that? >> no. that's one of the things you want to ask yourself when looking at the heat map. one of the things there's been myriad of training. someone has r.p. training. it's really important for the administrator at every school to assess, who's got what training. when we go to our faculty meeting if you been trained in pbis i want to give you time to talk about what's happening with pbis. if you been trained in deescalation, there's someone at that school had that training.

i think that's a good practice to mow who's been trained. >> commissioner moliga: , of course we want to address the absentee. i don't want that to be our focus. at the end of the day and suspensions are happening far reason. you guys have great people on

your family. i work with some of you guys. some -- i'm thinking in my head, are we tracking why are these kids getting suspended. what are folks -- like how many of the kids are coming from like single family homes where there was shooting last night in the community. i really want to make sure we're addressing the core issue. the core issues. i know we can do it. if there's an opportunity for us to be able to start collecting that data, and then also working with our community school's model and city and county and really understanding how then can we really start to get these kids and these families

services. that is like -- we're going to be social workers and academic focused at the same time. i say that very respectfully. i want to ask you guys, these red schools on the bottom, if you let us know what those red schools are. if you guys can shout those out real quick. if we're solving these issues, other stuff will go away. moving forward it will be great if we can identify those and throw them in themes. make life five -- maybe like five of those.

>> president cook: i appreciate all the comments tonight. all the questions -- we had lot of great questions in public comment and questions from my colleagues. we had this presentation, it's always feel like hard night to be on board of education. there's a reason i wanted to be here. the more i get these presentations, the less confidence that i have that we can solve this by ourselves. it seems a bit inadequate, i know this under your shop, lot of the interventions are being driven by the people that report to you. nor are those people held accountable by you. you presented so us, you sent out some sort of -- you ask what they are doing.

they tell your office what they are doing. it seems when we get these presentations, we highlight particular school it's kind of a surprise. we didn't know what the school sites that were strong. we found a couple and we'll talk about them tonight. that's really discouraging to know that after all these years we've been focused on this work. we haven't been able to be at least hire some of these skills. how are we focusing on hiring process and bring people on board that have the scales to

work at sites and be effective at these sites. two sites are the greatest need. if there's any type of reducti reduction, it's one percentage point. i'm responsible for these numbers. i think resident of the city that really cares about public education should be holding this board accountable. we should be discouraged but by our inability to get our arms around this.

.it's really appropriate. you'll see these numbers a as. we don't have idea to do that or the schools doing that well. >> of course we do. we have an ability to understand what's happening. do you know how many times this past week parent had an tragic

-- there are staff that know the schools very well and as far as informed practices -- >> commissioner sanchez: you're not let me finish the point. >> commissioner moliga: if we have good work happening in that area, we aren't selling that to see been. we if we have good people doing that, we don't have a report that says that's happening. does that make sense? i feel -- >> when we look attrition plans and basis, it's pretty important

information there. i think when our social workers and nurses have students success team, we do track the interventions in bases. you can chart the effectiveness of those interventions. sometimes when student studentsn i'll crises and track the instances. the stephen having this conferencenings.conferenceningst of that very personal data in bases. we do track that. we can see the chart that says is that impact on that student. we have these discussions. every week on many occasions. i think the social worker temperatur--when schools go thrs

or they having a challenge with a particular team, this is student support team of restorative practices coaches and supervisors that people serves. they go out with -- there are support staff that are doing an amazing work to get desirable results to support students having challenges. that school site support can be very personal at the a school. everyday there's teams of people that is sitting down with staff at specific school. we try to address these issues.

>> commissioner moliga: that work is saving lives and we don't even have a way to see how that's improved overtime. keep on doing that. you have a partner in me i want to see you stick around. i want to see when we have these presentations.

i think this is a crises in our city. i think the city family should be thinking about what we can be doing to support our young people to stay in school. we mentioned a partnership earlier today and they have really incredible overview of the gangs happening with kids in the school. kids in school they are learning. the regressions we see are always around teacher leaving mid--year which happens at some in the southeast.

>> let me just turn -- she checks all the data. >> good evening. i'm supervisor. i basically support all elementary school. overseeing the collection of the t.f.i. data, we've been able to collect data from all but two elementary schools and one of

those elementary schools is because they had principal who's leaving and they didn't have their team together. we're missing one middle school and one high school. we've done a great job this year. i have to thank the team and the t.s.a. for doing all the work they did this year. >> thank you for that work. is that something we can -- for 13 questions elove to see school by school. >> we in the process of going back and identifying the components in the t.s.i. >> really appreciate that work. thank you. >> president cook: thank you. section i, consent calendar calendar items removed.

section j, introduction of proposals and assignment to committee. number one is public and board comment of proposals. we have three speakers.

>> good evening. i'm the executive director of creative arts public school. i like to submit mission for the approval of this evening. cas community is proud to celebrate the incredible growth and expansion that have taken place over the last five years. for over two decades, students at cacs is gone beyond traditional classroom and engagement in arts, dance, music and theater. students exposure to the arts and the curriculum allows for creative expression in which students utilize their minds and bodies to bring ideas and dreams to life.

few notes about creative artings charter school. cacs at the oldest school in san francisco serving our community since 1994. we are currently and have been, locally authorized by the sfusd board. in 2014, cacs received california distinguished school award from the california department of education. teachers and staff are equipped serve most at-risk students. we track and report all student data on a regular basis as required by the california ed. to ensure transparency and accountability. our staff is unionized by uass.

we are proud to partner with sfusd and contribute to the public education landscape. we value the opportunities to serve at the trusted community partners to our families, students and neighbors. thank you. >> good evening. i'm a san francisco native and former sfusd student. i'm a parent of third and sixth graders at creative arts. i'm also an educator supporting teachers throughout our district. my family experience creative artings have been wonderful. my biggest joy comes through my both children who develop into responsible young people.

i have been deeply honored to support the administrative team. cacs has documented k to 8 curriculum and engaging in critical work confronting bias. we have work to do. critical and reflective work to close the opportunity gap at creative arts is going on. we also ail educate one seat per staff representative, two seats for greater community members and one seat for sfusd representative. as required by law and to ensure transparency and accountability, creative arts complies with the public records act and the brown act. all board meetings are held in san francisco and are open to the public. i like to invite you to visit

creative arts and see what our school community offers to students, families and educators. thank you for your consideration of the creative arts charter renewal petition. >> good evening. i'm a parent of second grader at creative arts charter school. i've been part of the school community for three years. i want to share parent perspective in being part of the creative arts community. it's really important for me as someone who's committed to social justice that the school a union school. this is an important value for me as a parent. also, i'm impressed and have been with the diversity equity inclusion efforts. i've been part -- i've been active parent member of the committee. i wanted to share some of the things that we've been working on. i know that concern at the last

petition go around for creative arts was diversity issues. this something that i've taken on myself and with other parents at the school to address. we have engaged in significant level of parent education so we brought in experts on talking to your kids about race, addressing bias, we did parent work sho won gender diversity. we've created a unity group which is a group for families of color to create welcoming environment for the families of

color. we've convened on a social base. we create community together. we think about ways that the school can improve on diversity equity inclusion issues. the school has been wonderful partner and supportive all these efforts. i ask for your consideration of the petition. >> good evening. i'm julie martin. we discussed this issue this weekend at our board meeting. we really want to acknowledge and appreciate the fact that creative arts charter has chosen to be part of the sfusd.

also, the other thing that came up is because of its alternative options because all the creative programming the arts and different options for students, it is really attractive schools with students with disability. it's chance for them to shine outside of academics. it's a school sought out by special education students. however, the thing that came across, unfortunately, loud and clear for many of our board members and it's something you might have personal experience. the rigor and special education services are provided at creative arts charter. it's not always there. while the format of the school works for students, the rigor how i.e.p.s are implemented and what is happening a school site and how procedures are handled is not always there. we would ask in future they look

at improving i.e.p. implementation. >> president cook: thank you. first readingdsuperintendent proposal 191, 15sp1 authorization to grant alternative deny the renewal petition for the creative arts charter school. >> so moved. >> second. referring this to the budget committees. section l, board member's reports. we have no reports from recent committees. they haven't met.

>> growing up in san francisco has been way safer than growing up other places we we have that bubble, and it's still that bubble that it's okay to be whatever you want to. you can let your free flag fry he -- fly here. as an adult with autism, i'm here to challenge people's idea of what autism is. my journey is not everyone's journey because every autistic

child is different, but there's hope. my background has heavy roots in the bay area. i was born in san diego and adopted out to san francisco when i was about 17 years old. i bounced around a little bit here in high school, but i've always been here in the bay. we are an inclusive preschool, which means that we cater to emp. we don't turn anyone away. we take every child regardless of race, creed, religious or ability. the most common thing i hear in my adult life is oh, you don't seem like you have autism. you seem so normal. yeah. that's 26 years of really, really, really hard work and i think thises that i still do. i was one of the first open adoptions for an lgbt couple.

they split up when i was about four. one of them is partnered, and one of them is not, and then my biological mother, who is also a lesbian. very queer family. growing up in the 90's with a queer family was odd, i had the bubble to protect me, and here, i felt safe. i was bullied relatively infrequently. but i never really felt isolated or alone. i have known for virtually my entire life i was not suspended, but kindly asked to not ever bring it up again in first grade, my desire to have a sex change. the school that i went to really had no idea how to handle one. one of my parents is a little bit gender nonconforming, so they know what it's about, but

my parents wanted my life to be safe. when i have all the neurological issues to manage, that was just one more to add to it. i was a weird kid. i had my core group of, like, very tight, like, three friends. when we look at autism, we characterize it by, like, lack of eye contact, what i do now is when i'm looking away from the camera, it's for my own comfort. faces are confusing. it's a lack of mirror neurons in your brain working properly to allow you to experience empathy, to realize where somebody is coming from, or to realize that body language means that. at its core, autism is a social disorder, it's a neurological disorder that people are born with, and it's a big, big spectrum. it wasn't until i was a teenager that i heard autism in relation to myself, and i

rejected it. i was very loud, i took up a lot of space, and it was because mostly taking up space let everybody else know where i existed in the world. i didn't like to talk to people really, and then, when i did, i overshared. i was very difficult to be around. but the friends that i have are very close. i click with our atypical kiddos than other people do. in experience, i remember when i was five years old and not wanting people to touch me because it hurt. i remember throwing chairs because i could not regulate my own emotions, and it did not mean that i was a bad kid, it meant that i couldn't cope. i grew up in a family of behavioral psychologists, and i got development cal -- developmental psychology from all sides. i recognize that my experience

is just a very small picture of that, and not everybody's in a position to have a family that's as supportive, but there's also a community that's incredible helpful and wonderful and open and there for you in your moments of need. it was like two or three years of conversations before i was like you know what? i'm just going to do this, and i went out and got my prescription for hormones and started transitioning medically, even though i had already been living as a male. i have a two-year-old. the person who i'm now married to is my husband for about two years, and then started gaining weight and wasn't sure, so i we went and talked with the doctor at my clinic, and he said well, testosterone is basically birth control, so there's no way you can be pregnant. i found out i was pregnant at 6.5 months. my whole mission is to kind of

normalize adults like me. i think i've finally found my calling in early intervention, which is here, kind of what we do. i think the access to irrelevant care for parents is intentionally confusing. when i did the procespective search for autism for my own child, it was confusing. we have a place where children can be children, but it's very confusing. i always out myself as an adult with autism. i think it's helpful when you know where can your child go. how i'm choosing to help is to give children that would normally not be allowed to have children in the same respect, kids that have three times as much work to do as their peers or kids who do odd things, like, beach therapy.

how do -- speech therapy. how do you explain that to the rest of their class? i want that to be a normal experience. i was working on a certificate and kind of getting think early childhood credits brefore i started working here, and we did a section on transgender inclusion, inclusion, which is a big issue here in san francisco because we attract lots of queer families, and the teacher approached me and said i don't really feel comfortable or qualified to talk about this from, like, a cisgendered straight person's perspective, would you mind talking a little bit with your own experience, and i'm like absolutely. so i'm now one of the guest speakers in that particular class at city college. i love growing up here. i love what san francisco represents. the idea of leaving has never occurred to me. but it's a place that i need to fight for to bring it back to what it used to be, to allow

all of those little kids that come from really unsafe environments to move somewhere safe. what i've done with my life is work to make all of those situations better, to bring a little bit of light to all those kind of issues that we're still having, hoping to expand into a little bit more of a resource center, and this resource center would be more those new parents who have gotten that diagnosis, and we want to be this one centralized place that allows parents to breathe for a second. i would love to empower from the bottom up, from the kid level, and from the top down, from the teacher level. so many things that i would love to do that are all about changing people's minds about certain chunts, like the transgender community or the autistic community. i would like my daughter to know there's no wrong way to go through life. everybody experiences pain and grief and sadness, and that all of those things are temporary.

>> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪] [♪] [♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back.

i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and

that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way

from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where

concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought -- that he thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco

first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check

it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuffestuff from their grandpar, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future.
