where you take up as much time as we're taking right now. it's not 2.3 million isn't a significant amount of money, but what i want to think is the superintendent is going to take heed of the comments that he's heard, so that this time last year, all these questions are answered about the particular line items that people have concerns about. i think it's good governance and policy to approve the superintendent's recommendation as it is now stated and to work with him and staff to make these reforms over the course of the next year. so you know, my recommendation -- i agree with commissioner norton's suggestion that we -- and for any of the comments that you hear tonight, i ask that you refrain from responding too

heavily so we can get through the rest of this discussion. so i'm going to recommend that we move the superintendent's recommendation forward. i have a second. so we're going to do a roll call vote on the superintendent's recommendation on -- [inaudible] >> president cook: i haven't heard anything from anybody else, so i'm putting forward the recommendation as it is now, without the amendment. and i got a second from commissioner norton. so roll call vote. >> clerk: thank you. [roll call]

>> clerk: that's five ayes. [applause] >> president cook: okay. we have the rest of the meeting to attend to. if you all would like to continue conversations, please take it to the lobby. okay. so number seven, advisory committee reports and appointments to advisory committees by board members. we have a report from the parent advisory council.

how you doing, miss file? you can't hang? it's only 10:00 p.m. >> so good evening, president cook, commissioners, superintendent matthews. students are gone. my name is georgia williams brad. i'm the coordinator for the parent advisory council and i'm filling in for one of the members who had to go home. >> president cook: we need your mic, miss powell. >> my name is my cole powell, and i'm a parent of a senior at

marshall high school. the role of the high school is to represent parents' voices and perspectives, discussions, and decisions, so this report that we give is a update of the activities that we address in activity and our efforts to recruit new c.a.c. members for the upcoming school year. we had the opportunity to meet with the sfusd director and executive director from the office of counciling and post seco secondary. a.p. classes and the career technical education pathways that are offered at schools across our district. we also discussed the bright spots and the challenging,

including the potential loss in funding. dual enrollment. the district has formed a successful partnership with city college of san francisco to create a dual enrollment program. this program offers college courses to high school studented who are eligible for higher course program work. it allows high school students to earn school credits while duly earning credits for college. it is give students an insight on their choices and help them in their life to a peiwei of success. over the past four years, the number of students participating in the dual enrollment program has more than -- to a -- paid way of

success. over the past fewer years, the number of students participating in the dual enrollment program has more than doubled. the successful growth of the program between 2014 and 2018 is largely due to the support from grants. this funding has allowed students learn supports to pay for textbooks, provide reliable, direct transportation or students to get from their school to city college campuses and hire teachers on special assignment, counselors to increase the likelihood of students' success in college. unfortunately, two of the grants will come to an end in june 2019 and will most likely trigger the loss of counselors supporting the program. to maintain current levels of support including books, transportation, and t.s.a.

counselors, the program requires a minimum of $1.125 million. the a.p. classes offered are varied in different parts of the school. the majority of all a.p. classes are taken at four high schools: galileo, lincoln, powell, and washington. this rises serious concerns about every student having equitiable access and how it might affect enrollment. the district offers a variety of career technical education academies. these c.t.e. pathways allow students to explore specific career options within our schools and gain real world experience in a particular area of study. c.t.e. pathways are available in almost all high schools,

like the dual enrollment program. student enrollment in the c.t.a. pathways across schools closely here ors the student demographics of the contradict as -- of the district as a whole. parents across the websites can look at the a.p. classes across the district. by having dual enrollment, this will help with our graduation rates, which at thurgood marshall is among the lowest. supporting equitiable secondary options. one of the reasons c.a.c. members decided to meet with district staff to discuss the distribution of college and career opportunities and sfusd was to begin a better understanding of how these choices affect enrollment and performance at the school level.

similar considerations apply to families who are enrolling their students in high school. lobbies decisions for families are based on many factors like distance, school safety, and etc. course options or career pathways or lack there of also figure into the decision making process for both students and families. we want all sfusd schools to be desirable in demand and private equitiable opportunities and experiences for each and every sfusd student. the c.a.c. focused on this work to ensure that all students are ready for their college and their career. also in addition to that, my son, nathan, is a dual enrollment student. he's 16 years old, and he will be graduating -- well, it's march 31, but the district changed it to june 2 or 3. so he'll be graduating. he'll have college credits. by the time he turns 18, he

will be at the choice -- his school of choice, but he will have all his general requirements done, so his future is looking bright. so i as a parent really want to encourage dual enrollment, and i recommend every student at the age of 16 at least take one city college class so it can open up their minds so they can see that hey my future does look bright, and by attending city college, too, it helps them to -- it helps them to figure out hey, is this what i want to do? because college is not for everyone. so they might decide yes, this is for me. i want to pursue higher education and get my masters or get my doctorate and go another path. but having them exposed to that i think is really positive. and as a community, i want to push for that especially at thurgood marshall and the bayview. with y

we really, really need this program. >> so another area that c.a.c. members have been focusing on is to look at examining other areas around equity, in particular looking at equitiable fund raising at our schools? and with e've been focusing at other school districts and schools are looking at fund raising and creates some opportunities of creating a central fund. so today, we met with deputy superintendent gentle blythe and the new director of development out of the development office to discuss these possibilities to get an idea. really important to this is to look at we want to reach out to other school communities and parent organizations to get an idea of what their questions might be, their ideas, concerns around this whole idea, but to look at how can we leverage funding across our schools where we're not able to

currently generate family giving. and finally, we are recruiting new members for next -- for the c.a.c. next year, so if you know of parents or -- please spread the word. our next meeting, we are going to be welcoming commissioner lopez. we look forward to meeting with you tomorrow evening, and that meeting is here on the third floor at 555 franklin, from 6:00 to 8:00. >> i'm going to sleep now. [laughter]. >> president cook: commissioner norton. >> commissioner norton: sorry. no, it's nice. it's nice. i wanted to thank you for the comments on dual enrollment. i completely agree, and actually, i have long thought that dual enrollment to city college would be a great -- that we should be expanding

that instead of a.p. because i think there's so many issues around a.p. in our district and how funding works. not to go down a rabbit hole with that, but 100%, i think it's great. so i really appreciate the c.a.c. for looking into this and talking about it. let's figure out how to keep this program going because it's really -- and i'm so glad that your son has had such a positive experience. >> president cook: commissioner sanchez. >> vice president sanchez: thank you. thank you for the presentation. so i'm more interested -- i'm very interested in what commissioner norton's talking about. we have passed a resolution expanding city college. which is great. but on the p.t.a. front, setting up a general fund, can you speak more in detail of what you're looking at? >> so we're just looking at --

we know that there's different schools have different capacities in terms of generating funds. arts is a perfect example. so we know that some schools get a base fund of vapa, but some schools can raise additional funds to supplement. we just want to look at ways how we can create a central pot that has an effective voluntary mechanism for people to donate that will benefit all schools, so how can we bring across the district those types of things, and we want to hear from the parents and school groups in the communities about how to move forward with this idea. >> vice president sanchez: thank you. i know that santa monica, years ago, they were going to have a large percentage that went to a

central pot, and it went to schools that didn't have active p.t.a.s. you might want to look at what they've done. they spent a lot of years hammering it out. a lot of people left the district because they depth want to share. it's something we should be looking at. >> i think that's the emphasis on the voluntary piece. i think there's emphasis on p.t.a., not wanting to force anybody, but we want to hear from the ground up, what are some ideas people have about how to move forward with that? and i think that's why we were looking at santa monica, san jose. over in marin, they have a coalition of foundations that have created a central pot? know, there's several different districts but it's all put into one? it's called school rules? so we're exploring that and just to move the idea forward and trying to collaborate with spark about what was the capacity. >> vice president sanchez: can you remind me who the new

director is for development. >> cole haggerty. >> vice president sanchez: thank you for the work. >> president cook: commissioner lam? >> commissioner lam: i just want to echo the statement around equity for high school students. i know my daughter in language, there will be time for her to take that at city college, and when she goes through sequencing, she will have that space in her sophomore year in high school? and i think that overall, just being able to expose our young people around the opportunity of their post secondary experience and really from an early age, in the early years of high school to be able to offer that out to our students and saying that post secondary college is -- can be a reality for you and to be in the experience of taking city college classes i think means a

real great deal to their confidence level, to their ability to think just what's possible and the opportunities before them. and one question i do have, then, around process, it sounds like the grants to support the dual enrollment is going to be sunsetting, so i'll be curious to see what those plans are and what are recommendations from the superintendent and the staff around budgeting to support that program to continue if not expand. >> president cook: was that a direct question or for later? >> commissioner lam: it can be a direct question around -- or just as a comment if staff -- superintende >> we'll get that information to you, but we'll get it to the entire board.

>> president cook: okay. he's good. i thought i was the best at thurgood, and i am oh, so wrong. we -- commissioner -- vice president sanchez and i passed a policy for dual enrollment so students could be in ninth grade, and they didn't have to be in the school. we had some back and forth about how that should work, but it would be great to get an update from staff in one of the upcoming curriculum meetings to see how that process is going, and hopefully, we can get that report to the parent c.a.c. so you can get an overview of what that policy is and how it's working, and now you can go home. oh, sorry, unless there were other questions.

okay. okay. are there any appointments to the advisory committees by the board? commissioner lopez? >> commissioner lopez: i'd like to appoint diana payne to the pcac? >> president cook: section c -- on the appointment? okay. >> commissioner lopez: well, i just wanted to remind folks that we're going to have a new charter and we're going to appoint folks to the charter oversight commission. as we can appoint folks, we can have folks supporting mike davis who reviews some of the charters coming up. thanks. >> president cook: section c, consent calendar. can i have a motion and second on the consent calendar? >> moved. >> second. >> president cook: we do have public comment on the consent calendar, so when you hear your name called, you can please make it right to the podium. you'll have two minutes.

nick chandler, joanna lopez, david sewell, and saul hidalgo. >> my name's nick chandler, and i'm the counselor for horace mann. this is the first time i can honestly say that i've been able to partner with our organizations to address the housing needs that our students have. you know that kids that sleep in a car do not show up ready to take part in classes. these basic needs, the barriers to learning are at the center of our immediate work. we identify a community school, and that means partnering to address the basic needs of all

of our families, so we launched one this year, opened one our jails to house families facing this imminent need. what we've seen is we started out with 60 families that were housing insecure. we made contact and secured all of of those families. we partners with those families and through this pilot which cost zero sfusd dollars, through this pilot, with you look at each of those 26 families options. what are they eligible for, what paperwork is missing, what do they need to do to get access to housing, single-family voucher is, alternatives to what we have. so what we learned is a, we need this tangible resource. here's a bed.

put your stuff away. so this program shows we have a lot of work between the city and school district to address these needs. we need a tangible resource but because we've addressed it through this collaboration we now have the ability to address this to other students through the districts, so i'm going to ask you to open this up to other sfusd schools to participate in this pilot, and then i'm going to let the data speak for itself at the end. >> hi. my name is joanna lopez miyaki. i'm a parent at the horace mann. i'm here to talk about what our -- nick just spoke to. i am ache going to ask the board to please put a pause on making any kinds of decisions. i think that it's premature. i think that it's -- it's some data but not enough data to support that this should be expanded. when this was initially rolled out, it was a promise made to the community that this was to

serve buena vista who are an m -- horace mann families, and i don't know how expanding it to all district families, you can keep that promise. if you have a bed full, and another family drops in, like i don't know how you can say hey, this bed is for a bbvh family. i think a lot of the meetings that we had with the first draft proposal were rushed. the last meeting that we had, there were seven parents that attended. so i don't think there was enough communication given around to the whole community. it's pretty well documented in some of the media that's covered this, as well, to see that there's definitely a lot of questions and concerns from the community. so i'm just hopeful that we

can -- like what we were talking about earlier with the other -- you know, just really taking the time to look at the data, look at the facts, look at the impact so you can -- these things could have before we make decisions that are -- that are so huge. this is a pilot program. it's not even done with the pilot and now we're talking about expanding it? i just don't see how that makes sense, so thank you for your time. >> president cook, honorable members of the board of education, david serrano sewell. it's always a pleasure to be a room with other parents and educators such as yourself. i want to acknowledge work done by our principal on what is a very credential and important -- crucial and important issue, how we deal

with housing of our students at horace mann school. to say that this proposal was made at our school without a discussion, a robust policy discussion wouldn't be true. there was. there was a serious dialogue when it was first proposed and there were varying opinions and views on it. we were all unified because we cared about the campus, and we wanted to make sure that the school had the resources to absorb this program. so certainly -- certain assurances and promises were made. chief among them, this would be for the buena vista horace mann families. why? because providing this service would uplift the entire campus community because they would be getting this assistance and they can be in a better learning environment, and that would uplift the entire school community. that was the progress made.

now it's shifted. now something else is being proposed. and as johanna stated, we haven't been afforded -- parents have not been afforded the opportunity to have that same discussion that we did last time. i kind of think we should because there are serious issues to consider. facilities, etc. you know what they are. some of them we don't know what they are because we haven't had a chance to discuss them. what brings me to you tonight is i know what a good faith discussion looks like, and we just haven't had that yet. thank you very much for your time. [applause] >> good evening. my name is saul hidalgo. i'm the director of housing and shelter street programs with delores community services.

we are lucky enough to be the providers of said shelter, and we are lucky enough to be collaborating with buena vista horace mann k-8, and we are lucky to be collaborating with h.s.h., the department of homelessness and supportive housing. we are ready as a -- as an agency and as a collaborative, we are ready. this program has been working, as nick mentioned, and it has worked to such an extent at buena vista that we understand that we don't have enough usage to justify it just remaining with buena vista, we have enough room for some of the other needs that exist across the city. there's as many as 3,000 homeless children in san francisco, the majority of which attend san francisco unified district schools.

they deserve a place to go, they deserve a place to sleep, and we are ready to make that happen. on a personal note, i am hungry, i am sleepy, and i am tired, and i would love for our families, i would love for our children who experience this on a nightly basis to have an opportunity to stay in a place that is safe, secure, warm, and where they can get a warm meal. thank you. [applause] >> hello. again. susan solomon. uesf president. i want to add a little bit to what the previous speaker said, to what nick chandler said. one of the reason i've heard that fewer families with sleeping -- actually sleeping

at the school is this program actually provides counseling that gets them into more stable housing so they don't need to sleep at horace mann. the other issue i want to talk about is pilots. often, we don't always take the time to examine them and learn from them. from everything i've learned about this program, this pilot, as every pilot, has been a learning opportunity. and what we've learned is more families need the services provided by what is going on in the program at buena vista who are as -- horace mann. so i am speaking on behalf of united educators of san francisco is we support the plan as it was originally presented, an expansion for more families who need housing

for their children and themselves. thank you. [applause] >> president cook: thank you for your comment. do we have any items withdrawn or corrected by the superintendent? >> no. >> president cook: any items -- >> excuse me. i submitted a comment card. >> president cook: oh, sorry. did i miss your name? what's your name? [inaudible] >> president cook: go ahead, marisa. i don't have you here, but go ahead. you've got two minutes. >> good evening. thank you. buena vista horace mann k-8 community school is currently a skoog struling to build community. the struggle is due to the previous and current administrations with how they've chosen to communicate or not with the community including the disdain of some

community stakeholders withholding information and making decisions that affect the entire community without parent input. this is now my 11th year at buena vista horace mann. in those 11 years, i was the p.t.a. president for two years and p.t.a. president cochair for two years. i estimate in the 10.5 years that my family has been at buena vista horace mann, i've volunteered over 3,000 hours while working a full-time job and volunteering for other organizations. in short, i work a lot, and i sleep very little. i'm providing this info only to put context in how shocked i was last year when the bvhm was

announced, and making the announcement to open the bvhm to all sfusd students without seeking any community input. i'm asking the board before rushing to a decision that makes our entire school community that a true effort for community engagement be made. i'm very proud of the contributions that i've made to the school system so far. [applause] >> president cook: let's see...do you have any items? >> vice president sanchez: no. >> president cook: any items removed for first reading by the board? seeing none, any items severed

by the board or superintendent for discussion or vote tonight? commissioner norton? >> commissioner norton: b-44. >> president cook: b-44? >> commissioner norton: b-44. >> president cook: for discussion? >> commissioner norton: yes. >> president cook: okay. all right. roll call vote on the consent calendar. >> clerk: all right. with the exception of b-44 -- [roll call] >> clerk: seven ayes. >> president cook: commissioner, did you have a question? >> commissioner norton: yes, i had a number of questions, so just to address the question.

it's b-44 in our agenda. we have an odd way -- a nontransparent way, shall i say, of numbering items. so for -- so i did have some questions about the expansion of this m.o.u. so first, does this expansion change the effective date of the m.o.u.? -- the effective expiration? >> no, it does not. the expiration date is june 30, 2019. >> commissioner norton: but actually, the state of the program is only operational when school is in session, so it would be through the remainder of the school year, is that correct? >> no, it's through june 30th by the terms of the m.o.u. >> commissioner norton: so it'll be for sfusd families

even though school will not be in session for at least a month part of that time? >> yes. >> commissioner norton: and so how are we -- how are we verifying that students are sfusd families or parents? >> that's a good question -- or you mean after they've -- after the session's over or you mean currently? >> commissioner norton: no -- i mean, if we expand this, right -- presumably, the staff at buena vista horace mann know who their families are, so it wouldn't be an issue today, but it's if we propose to expand it to all sfusd families, right? >> yes. i'll let the principal at horace mann buena vista address that. >> good evening, commissioners. i'm the presence incipal at bu

vista horace mann, and i have a student -- i have a fifth grader there. >> commissioner norton: you're proposing to do this as of now. >> so the way that we coordinate our services between delores street and the access point and our school social worker is they actually talk with each other about every individual case, so it's a very coordinated entry. a lot of the information is put on the table, so we know exactly who we're talking about when we're discussing what it is that they need and who's going to provide it. so during the school year, i see that it would be very easy to connect directly with the school social workers at all of the site. >> i'm sorry. so what you're saying is that -- so you would -- a family arrives at 5:00 or

whatever time the stayover program starts, and they say hi, i'm an sfusd parent and we attend this school. and at that point, you're going to call social workers? >> that's not how it works. >> commissioner norton: oh. >> so it's done through a referral basis? everybody that we know that is in need, we end up directing over to the delores street people, representatives, and then, they meet with them. i'm not sure if jackie is in the room from delores street, but we have someone who is funded to do that handoff work and be with them all throughout the process. so there are no unknowns in terms of the people that are coming. >> commissioner norton: so the only people that come to the stayover program and would continue to come to the stayover program would be referred by another social worker in either delores street

or other community? >> yes. you have to do it through the access point which is connected through h.s.s. and community services. you have to be vetted, you have to verify that you're not any kind of predator. you have to make sure that you're not only an sfusd family but that you are legitimately able to stay in our shelter. >> commissioner norton: and so -- and families would only be able to stay there as families, correct? like, it wouldn't be if a parent came and said i'm a parent, but sfusd, for whatever reasons, i don't have my kids with me. if there was a relative or other family members without their children, would they be able to allowed to stay? >> well, i can't imagine that scenario. >> commissioner norton: well, what about without the children? would they be allowed to stay? >> the reason we dreamed up this initiative in the first

place is to make sure that our students would be able to be better to better attend school the following day because they have a supportive environment. so minus the student being there, you kind of lose that argument. >> commissioner norton: so the answer would be no, if a parent came without children, so it's only parents with children that neat housing that -- need housing that evening. and not the other scenario? >> well, i can't imagine -- >> commissioner norton: well i'm asking for assurances. >> i can't give you insurances. this is a -- >> commissioner norton: basically, the answer has not gone through a year-long process with all due respect, and so i'm asking the questions. i'm asking the questions because quite honestly that there's been some criticism from families at your site that

you have not done appropriate hosting. you put out notice of the meeting, and the meeting was that night. >> no, that's incorrect, actually. >> commissioner norton: so some of them -- is that incorrect? >> that is incorrect -- [inaudible] >> president cook: i'm sorry. miss -- miss -- miss norton, if i can just chime in. >> commissioner norton: your families are saying that you didn't. i'm just looking for assurances. and i want to say there's some issues with trust on your families and your leadership on this issue. so i'll leave it there, but i think that this is -- this is a somewhat rushed process, so

let's prove that it's liable, it's prove and expand it. that said, i don't have anything against the program? i just am pointing out that there's been a cost to your community in wanting to push this through in a very aggressive way in my opinion. and what i also would like to say is that for this m.o.u. -- so this m.o.u. expires in june -- on june 30, and would have to come back to us assuming that there is a superintendent's recommendation that we continue this program, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> commissioner norton: okay. >> if it were going to come back -- if were going to continue, it would need to come back to this board. >> commissioner norton: okay. i would like much more data for the board to consider when we evaluate the success of this program in general and its effect on the full community? so really, much more

information about how many families are served, the schools they come from, the cost of operations and compared to the cost of operating the other city shelters that the city already operates? are there other family shelters in the vicinity of this school that -- that have excess capacity? those are the kinds of things that i think the board should be able to evaluate when we're asked to consider something like this. so i understand that there's a little bit of time pressure on this, and so i'm not going to hold it up tonight? but i do feel like if we are asked to consider an extension of this program or move it from the pilot phase or beyond that, that we really are entitled to a lot more information about how it's being used and what the effectiveness of it is. thank you. >> president cook: commissioner collins. >> commissioner collins: i just want to say that my primary concern is supporting families

in the highest need, and i really appreciate the work that buena vista's doing and delores housing and homeless support service, that they're doing to meet a need that is just dire in our city. and i also just want to speak personally about a friend that was transitional. there are so many families that you wouldn't know that are transitional in our communities. they made sure her child was washed and clean, and got to school on time, but her child was ridiculed because her backpack was dirty. in the process of being in shelters, he was separated from his parents because his mom -- you're not allowed to showering -- so he was

showering with adults and he was molested. so on top of the family was going through all this trauma, they were further traumaized by going through our shelter system. so to find an option for families that's safe and that values -- you know, that's centered around students, i really want to applaud that. and i appreciate your work in leading that effort and also using our buildings -- everybody says oh, we have so many buildings in san francisco, to actually use our buildings in a way that is in line with sfusd values but also that expands access to supporting our communities. so i just wanted to say thank you for that, and i appreciate your leadership and -- and -- and just the generosity, i think, that it takes to be thoughtful about a community where everybody talks about but very few people step up and actually take action, so thank you. >> president cook: commissioner

moliga? >> commissioner moliga: i guess as the social worker on the board, i should say something. i think it's a slam dunk, and i'll take my hat off to the work that you guys have been doing. i think it's super successful. you know, the city is facing a homeless issue, and we're all trying to figure it out, and the city is part of the formulation and intervention in how to do that. when i saw it, i thought let's just get going. what are we waiting for? there's other families that need the support. i know that because i was homeless. i lived in the streets, i lived in the car, i lived in dope houses. so when we talk -- so again -- and i think i mentioned this last week. with all due respect, we're talking about an area that not really everybody's familiar with. and so to be very super, super culturally sensitive around

this area and be impatient around the development of these things that we're all trying to figure out, there hasn't been enough focus on this population and other populations to say that. and so i think, you know, as a school district, we -- i think this is a slam dunk. i thought buena vista was champions for doing it. my personal voice behind it is i'm in full support. yeah. >> president cook: commissioner sanchez? >> vice president sanchez: i just want to say thank you so much. you guys are trailblazers. this work is so important. we have upwards of 2,000 homeless students in our district, and this is a -- frankly, it's the first program i think in the entire country where a public school is being utilized to house our students and families, and it's important work. it's so sad that we have to do this work. it's so sad that you have to do this work, but i'm so grateful

that you have taken it on. i won't speak for everybody in the district, we have varying viewpoints on this, but i think when i talk to your staff and i talk to parents that are friends at the school, i just hear the love for this, and it's so important. don't be distracted. keep working. >> president cook: commissioner lopez? >> commissioner lopez: i, too, appreciate the work that's being done to support families in your site and so expand that to -- to expand that to families in the school district. i don't think it's fair to say that the families here and what they're voicing is representing bvhm as a whole. i think there are a number of families that want to be here but can't? so i appreciate the people who are here representing them who work with them, who know what they need. as a teacher who has worked with students who are homeless, i understand that a community

is more important than anything else, so i applaud you, i will support you, and thank you for reaching out to more families. >> president cook: roll call vote on this -- i'm sorry, miss casco, this is item b-57. [roll call] >> clerk: seven ayes. [applause] >> president cook: section d, discussion and vote on consend clent residence -- consent calendar resolutions. section e, proposals for action. we already went over number one and none two. the continued proposals --

number two. the continued proposals, there are six proposals for actions. their 615.92, 6146.4, differential graduation and competency standards for students with disabilities. 3311, bids # 7211 developer fees, appointment of surrogate parent for students with special disabilities. 5141.52, suicide prevention. 1312.3, uniform complaint procedures. let's see.

we have a report from the rules committee from vice president sanchez. >> vice president sanchez: well, i'll just say generally that all the ones that made it to our committee were forwarded to the full board with a positive recommendation, so those were -- i think it was all of them except for the financial reports -- no, math placement. do we -- okay. all of them? there was a lot. >> president cook: rules committee getting it done. let's see, the -- sorry, we have miss hugby on this. >> so in the interests of time and in consideration of the hour, my -- are -- the recommendations are the same for all of those policies which is the board approve them as submitted. >> president cook: okay. any comments from the board or superintendent? roll call vote, miss casco.

>> clerk: thank you. [roll call] >> clerk: seven ayes. >> president cook: see section g, special order of business, there are none tonight. section h, other education or issues, there are none tonight. section i, consent items removed at a previous meeting, there are none tonight. section j, introduction of proposals and assignment to committee. number one, public and board proposals. do we have any proposals for first meeting? [inaudible] >> president cook: so we have two. number two for first reading, they're board policies 5127, graduation ceremonies and activities. and 5146.1, high school graduation requirements. i hear a motion and second on

both board policies? >> so moves. >> second. >> president cook: thank you. unless i hear otherwise from the general council, i'm referring both policies to the rules committee. [inaudible] >> president cook: the reason i stopped that was because we're discussing changing our own rules to have public comment earlier, and we wanted to get our own rules to modify that. >> that'll be on your april meeting for first reading. >> president cook: okay. all right. section k, proposals for immediate action, and this is commission rules. there are none tonight. section l, board members' reports. let's see, we have reports from recent committee meetings. we have rules from the last update. do you have anything to add, commissioner sanchez? >> vice president sanchez:

yeah, it's the beginning of the calendar year for the state legislature, and there's five that pertain right now to charter schools, and a lot of them are suggesting we do things that we already have suggested as a board. the lowest hanging fruit is the charter schools abide by the brown act. the governor asked for that to be sped through. the others are going to take longer time, but i think the other thing we're all interested in is having the ability to deny or approve charter schools in our municipality. >> president cook: thank you. [inaudible] >> president cook: vice president sanchez, you're back up for the committee of the whole. >> vice president sanchez: we it -- it was peef. and then, a discussion on the -- on the bayview schools, so it was really nice to -- again, for the committee of the whole meeting to go to the district website, and you can

access the meeting there. >> president cook: thank you. and we have a report from the legislative services committee? >> yeah. it was really great. we had mtsf share information around what mtsf -- their rationale for funding various programs which includes doctors, nurses, things like that. then lcap made a presentation, and i think that one of the things that came out of both of them being at the same meeting is the lcap process is kind of misaligned in terms of the timeline. so what they were saying is a lot of times, they make recommendations and the parents don't see the feedback of the recommendations in our district policies? and that's because parents don't understand -- they want to see family engagement and they don't understand the specific thing that we're doing, which is parent-family

liaison. so making it clear sometimes, and also, there isn't a direct opportunity for them to respond? and that's because their recommendations come after we do the budgeting process. so we do budgeting process, central process, peef, and their recommendations that came out in april, after all that's happened. i think one of the recommendations that came out, they agree today share that last year's central office and share it with the current central line so see "bohemian rhapsody" there's alignment in planning and we can see some of the gaps in some of the recommendations that they've made repeatedly over time. and also where we're funding as a district we can be more clear how we're responding through certain initiatives so they can see those initiatives in central office. so i think that was very helpful. >> president cook: thank you,

commissioner collins. >> can i announce -- >> president cook: well, i think we have one more report. >> yes. aside from the peef discussion, we've made no recommendation for gateway approval, and we also heard from the summer programs in which we explained -- we shared with them the recommendations from delac. >> president cook: we actually have board delegates membership organizations. you have any reports out on that? >> no. >> president cook: okay. any other reports from board members? okay. calendar of committee meetings. >> finally, my turn. so student assignment will be monday at 6:00. we have a really -- a good

agenda, and right at the moment, i can't remember what's on it, but i know it's really good, so please come. >> president cook: thanks for the reminder. i'm on that committee, so i should there. the next budget meeting -- you want me to read them off or people read their own? the next budget meeting is wednesday shs april 3, 2019. the next buildings and grounds meeting is march 25, which is actually spring break. so if you're around, we can do it. if not, we should talk about rescheduling it. so there's that. so we're going to keep it for now. we might reschedule the next buildings and grounds. the next curriculum committee -- i forgot to mention that buildings and grounds is the best committee ever created.

[inaudible] >> president cook: the curriculum committee meeting is monday, april 8, at 6:00 p.m. next rules meeting it says monday, april 4. they can't both be on monday. the next curriculum meeting is on april 8. the next rules meeting is on april 1 -- >> vice president sanchez: it's a monday. >> president cook: let's see, the ad hoc committee on student assignments which was just announced. committee on personnel matters is tomorrow, march 13, at 6:00 p.m. and ad hoc school district city college joint committee has
