coronavirus pandemic. but often those updates really don't give us a chance to talk in-depth about some of the really complex issues that our city is facing. while everything continues to shift and change, we will continue to hold these press conferences. and update you all on the latest programs, services and resources as well as what we're doing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. but we also will hold talks like this and this is a first in a series of talks that we think that are important to make sure that the public is aware of what is going on and the decisions that we're making and what to expect. there's so much uncertainty. this has been a very fluid situation and at any given time information can change. so we believe that it is critical that you understand how

we're making those decisions. and some of the experts who are leading these efforts are important people that i think that everyone should know and should hear directly from them. so today we're going to dive into the statistics are and the criteria our public health officials are looking at and what they need to see for us to continue to re-open and advance our recovery efforts. here in san francisco, you all have been doing an amazing job. and as a result of following this order, and i would say maybe not everyone but for the most part a lot of folks are, because you have been following these social distancing requirements, you have made it possible for us to just move further into the stages that have been outlined for our reopening purposes. so we need to continue to do that. we have heard from many of you that this is one of your biggest

questions. and so today to talk specifically about just what's happening in san francisco with the curve and everything and how well we are doing, although that could change at any given moment, is dr. grant colfax, the director of the department of public health. and dr. colfax was a public health leader during the h.i.v./aids crisis and has been leading us through this pandemic. so we appreciate his leadership. we're also joined by dr. susan philip, the director of the disease control and prevention branch in the department of public health. she's been leading our testing and contact tracing efforts in response to the coronavirus. so what we want to do today is to talk specifically about the criteria related to -- i'll start with the information related to where we are in terms of testing and hospitalizations and other information. and the criteria.

where do we need to be to begin to open up safely. and then also an outline of those phases. phase one, phase two, a and b and so on and so forth as to what is possible if we continue to follow the social distancing requirements. it is possible that we can get things to a better place, sooner rather than later. so the goal is to also to go into depth with dr. susan phillips around testing and where we are with testing as well as contact tracing and how those things are going to play such a critical role in helping us to get open sooner rather than later. so with that, i want to just start with dr. colfax, just to talk a little bit, you know, about where we are in terms of the numbers. and then how fast the numbers can shift. but, more importantly, if we continue to follow the requirements that are put in place, what can we expect for the possibility to open up

sooner rather than later? so dr. colfax, i know that is a lot, but let's get started. >> well, okay, thank you, thank you for your leadership during this really challenging time. and i just want to reiterate that what you're saying this is a really changing dynamic. a changing situation as we learn more about the virus and how the virus spreads. and i also want to extend my gratitude to san franciscoians for their support of our shelter-in-place order. the orders are one thing, but it really takes the community to come together and to support each other in doing this. and it's been remarkable. it's about public health, but it's more about community and how community supports one another. our families and our neighborhoods, to -- to do our best during this really difficult time. and i think that everyone is doing their best right now. and it's really been remarkable over the past few months.

you know, it was just in february, mayor, where you declared a state of emergency before we even had a single case. we then went forward with a shelter-in-place order and things have really evolved. there's been scary moments when we were worried about having a situation like we saw on the east coast in new york where the hospital system got overwhelmed. and where so many people got terribly sick. and, unfortunately, many passed. we have avoided that worst-case scenario in san francisco and the bay area and i'm just grateful for your leadership and the support of the public in this work. i think that a couple of things. one is that we -- as we work to enter this new phase of a gradual reopening, it's really important to emphasize while we're hopeful that the situation can change quickly. when this virus takes off, it takes off really fast, right?

and that's what we have seen, again, in jurisdictions. that's what we saw in china, that's what we saw in italy, that's what we saw in new york. so we have to be cautious as well as optimistic and hopeful that the work that we're doing now in terms of wearing masks, in terms of the social distancing, that that really needs to continue for us to be able to live together and also to live with the fact that the virus is in our community and will continue to be in the community for the foreseeable future. so far we are -- the gain is going relatively well but we're only in the second inning of a long game. this is a situation that is going to last for probably 18 to 24 months. a vaccine is still a ways off. we saw hopeful news today but even the most optimistic experts think that vaccines will

probably be at least 12 to 18 months off. so maybe i could just -- mayor, could i just show some of the -- i want to show a curve because we have talked a lot about flattening the curve. and i just want us to -- i'd like to show the curve that i look at when we're talking about that. so this is -- this is our slide of people with the hospitalizations of people diagnosed with covid-19 in the city. so it's a bit of a complicated graph. so i'm going to explain it, take a little bit of time to explain it. so this is looking from april 13th to may 16th. the vertical bars are the total number of people across our hospitals, across our nine hospitals in san francisco, who have been diagnosed with covid-19 on any given day. so you can see that on

april 14th, on the far left of the slide, that there we total of 88 people diagnosed with covid-19 in our hospital system. there were 63 people in acute care. and 25 people in the intensive care unit. so those are the people in our city who were sick enough with covid-19 to need hospitalization. and we really want to follow also the numbers of people in the intensive care unit because those are the people that are sickest. and we want to make sure that we're able to support them to the best of our ability in the medical setting. so this curve is important because it represents the sickest people. you can see over time that that curve -- this graph has been relatively been flat. if you just look over time between april 14th to about -- let's say may 5th. that -- if you drew a line across those bars on the top,

that would be a flat -- it would be a flat curve. right? so we have really flattened the curve in san francisco, which means that we are having the situation of many people getting sick and many more people dying because of covid-19. so the news also gets a little better right now, which is that if you look from may 5th, so look at that 80 number, may 5th to may 16th. you can see that those numbers have actually dropped. so what's really fantastic about this is that for right now that our curve is not only flat but it's actually decreasing in terms of the number of hospitalizations in san francisco. so this is very hopeful and it's really good news. and as we go into these next stages of reopening we have to be very careful that we maintain

our masking and our social distancing and our hygiene efforts in conjunction with the shelter-in-place, because these numbers can change very, very quickly. so as we go into the next stage of the curbside pick-up, we increase our commerce in the city, which is good news, and we have to make sure that as we move around that the virus doesn't move around more and actually get more people sick. and that's why we're watching this curve very carefully. so if this curve starts going back u know, 90 or even above, that you would have to look at that very carefully and not only consider whether we don't go to the next stage, but whether we -- we are more conservative in actually closing things down to some extent again. so that's where, mayor, you're exactly right, this is a changing situation and we need to look at the data on a daily basis. i'm hopeful that with the

collaboration of san franciscoians that we will continue to move forward to the next stages. but, again, this could change relatively quickly and we're going to need to be watching these numbers so that we ensure that we're protecting the health of san franciscoians as possible. so how are we going to do that? >> mayor london breed: let's give the criteria of what you're going to be specifically looking at and how you're going to be making decisions to move? because, i mean, we get questions -- people want to know when are we opening schools? when are we opening hair salons? when are we opening places where people will have direct contact with one another? so that's because we can't give people specific dates, this is what you're saying, that everything is contingent on what happens with these numbers. so i know that you want to talk about the criteria. and then you want to go into the phases and what we can expect in terms of a general timeline around these phases?

>> that's right. so i'm going to go to what we're going to be watching going forward. to determine how soon and how quickly we can move on those stages that you're asking for, mayor. and then dr. philip will talk in more detail about our scales of testing and the context. does that make sense? >> mayor london breed: yes, let's do it. >> all right. can we have the next slide up, please? so these are the basic five indicators that we will be looking at to assess our progress in reopening. >> mayor london breed: can we just show that slide on the screen, this one slide? >> i think that it is. oh, -- i think that it was being shown. >> mayor london breed: it was shown but it was some other stuff on there too. >> i think they're trying to -- >> mayor london breed: there we go, all right.

>> yes. so we are looking -- these are the five areas that we will be looking at across the city. a number of cases of covid-19. the hospital capacity across the city to take care of people who are the sickest from covid-19. and our testing efforts to scale up our testing. we know that they're so important for people that have access to timely testing for covid-19. and our contact tracing. and the need for personal protective equipment. so, mayor, i'd like to talk a little more in detail about each of these before we get to the phases. is that -- >> mayor london breed: yeah, we want to do a brief overview and get into the phases because i think that we want to have dr. philip talk about the contact tracing. >> so in the number of cases we'll watch that hospital curve, because those are the sickest people. and we're also going to be looking at the case rates as we

scale up testing. so this can be a little confusing because as we test more people we will find more pieces. so then the total number of cases are going to go up. but what we're really looking at in that situation is the rate of positives. so are 10% of those testing positive? or is it 5%, 1%? so as long as that rate is going down, we'll be comfortable with that number. the hospital capacity is really ensuring that we have enough capacity in the hospitals in the event that our numbers start to go up really quickly. and i'll just give you a concrete example. right now our covid-19 cases are occupying about 6% of our hospital capacity right now. which is really remarkable. 94% of our other hospital beds are filled with people who have other conditions. so we want to make sure that hospital capacity doesn't -- the

people living -- the people in the hospital who have covid-19, that that hospital capacity which is currently at 6%, doesn't go above 20%. with regard to testing, dr. philip will talk about this in more detail. we have scaled up testing dramatically in the last few weeks and over 1,000 tests a day and aiming to get to about 1,800 tests a day in san francisco on a regular basis. contact tracing, we want to make sure that we're investigating the cases and supporting people living with covid-19. and also making sure that if they've been in contact with people, that those people know that they're supported and they get tested. again, dr. philip will talk about that. and then personal protective equipment, for us to do our work as medical advisors and first responders we want to make sure that there's adequate personal protective equipment across the city, including masks and other facial coverings to protect ourselves and others from the

virus. so, mayor, unless you have questions about this. i'd like to go to the stages. >> mayor london breed: let's go to the stages. that's what we're here for. >> okay. so this is the governor's framework for reopening. so phase one we have completed. and right now for phase two today with the curbside pick-up we're now in phase 2a, where we are -- it's exciting because of that curve. we're on curbside pickup. and also allowing manufacturing and logistics to support those businesses with curbside pickup. and in the next few weeks as we watch those data, we would hope to be able to relax restrictions in phase 2b. to adapt retail, and to reopen schools, offices and child care. mayor, there's also -- we're working hard to ensure that

there's guidance and potential for camp, summer camps for kids. so this would be during that phase 2. >> mayor london breed: so you think that as long as -- for example, that the numbers either are stable or decline, that the possibility to maybe have summer camp is possible? >> i think that it's a real possibility. it's going to be a little different than it was before because we have to be cautious about social distancing. so it's going to be different. but i am cautiously optimistic that if these numbers hold up that we will be able to -- to go in that direction. again, as you said, the situation could change. >> mayor london breed: can we pull that slide back up, the phase -- because i think that what is helpful is to just kind of getting a feel for the timing of these phases. so, for example, today we are in

the 2a, right? >> that's right. >> mayor london breed: so in order to get to 2b, the five criteria need to be met, number one. and then, number two, how -- like, if the five criteria are met and then we're able to maintain them over a certain period of time, whether d time k that 2b would be able to go into effect, you know, based on just an estimate? i want to be clear this is not the city saying this is going to happen, but based on the trend and what we have seen happening based on the numbers, there's a possibility that we could get into 2b at what point? or phase three at what point? >> yeah. so i think that for phase 2b, and we wouldn't just open up all of 2b up at once, but i think that generally we would anticipate another two to four weeks of watching the data, learning from what we have learned in 2a, and ensuring that

people are able to continue to follow the social distancing, the hygiene and the masking guidelines. but that generally in the next two weeks we would then be able to adapt to move to 2b if the data holds up. so somewhere in that two to four-week window. >> mayor london breed: which means even longer for like hair salons and nail salons and churches? >> that's right. so that's phase 3, yes. >> mayor london breed: so that -- we're talking about, again, maintaining whatever these numbers are at a flat or a lower rate. and we're still talking about those places even a month away? >> oh, at least, yes. >> mayor london breed: i think that part of what is helpful in the course of this conversation is to also to provide people with some guidance so they know what to expect. so i think that -- and we won't get into it in this conversation, but get into it in a later conversation, you know, just the specifics of how we get people back to work.

because it has been i know very stressful for so many of our businesses and so many of our religious community and folks who are just desperate to come together. and also those who are struggling financially, which as you know as a doctor that this creates a whole other health challenge around mental health and a number of other issues. so we definitely got to make sure that we keep that in mind, although we know that this is one of the most important things that we need to focus on to prevent the rapid spread of the coronavirus, which even though our numbers may look good today that the fact is that those numbers can change at any given time and we could, sadly, be in a situation similar to how new york or italy or other places have experienced. i think that ultimately the goal is to get people used to the new normal as well, to get used to the masks and the social distancing and all of those other things that are going to help to get us through this.

not just today or tomorrow. but long term. so let's -- let's talk a little bit about, you know, dr. colfax, can you tell us -- again, i know that we can't provide people with specifics. and i want to get to dr. philip. we can't provide people with specifics as to when, but, you know, i guess how are we going to -- how do you propose that we make this adjustment? you know, this has been hard already and it's been, you know, like over two months. and it is a struggle for just the average person, but especially those who are dealing with financial challenges. and those with kids. and elderly who are already isolated as it is. how are we going to get through this? >> yeah. well, i think that it's a really important question, mayor. i think that there's a couple of key things. one is to make sure that people -- that mental health and

social supports that are needed and i think that we're going to continue to work on connecting emotionally and socially in ways that allow us to social distance. so i think that is a really key piece. and if people need or are asking for mental health, behavioral health support, they can go to our we website and find those resources. i also think that one of the key things, mayor, in how we support this going forward is that the more that we can adhere to the social distancing and masking and hygiene, the faster that we're going to get to those different phases, right? so, you know, one thing that i really emphasize is that, you know, wearing a mask is something that is really important because it protects others, right? and so we create a community where wearing masks and social distancing is respected and we'll get to these phases sooner. because we know that is what

slows the virus. as we go back to the workplace, we are working with your department's leadership and others across the city and in the business community to really to as quickly as possible and as safely as possible to develop what the new workplace will look like, right? so people who can't commute from home, will work at home. and to ensure that the workplace offices are safe as possible and that workplace transportation is as safe as possible. and that people get the information that they need so they know when they go back to work that they can be as safe as possible. and the other part of this is the testing, right? so that people have access to testing. because we want to make sure that people can get the cure they need both for themselves

>> clerk: vice president es taylor, you have four votes to adjourn. >> vice president taylor: thank you, everyone. good night. >> we didn't take the vote for disclosure. >> vice president taylor: oh, yes. >> clerk: line item 9, vote to elect whether to disclosure any or all discussion on item 8 held in closed session, san francisco administrative code section 67.12a action.

group meetings. we would like to take this opportunity to present a slightly different report than usual, highlighting both the challenges and the situation that has been brought to our families, as well as express our ideas during this unprecedented times. covid-19 challenges for students and families. as families across our district, members have spent the past nine weeks trying to support the learning and well-being of their children and this juggling act has not been easy, especially for those whose students would be receiving aadditional support to be successful in their academic and social, emotional learning, including student who's are learning english as an additional language, students already struggling to achieve grade level proficiency, students who lack access to additional resources outside of

school, students who rely on the social support of peers and site staff including teachers, after-school leaders and mental health professionals, students with ieps, especially those who are not able to access services like physical and occupational therapies and parents who may not have the skilled resources to provide the supports themselves in the best of times. let alone 24/7 in this highly stressful time. we recognised that taken families are frontline workers, restaurants and grocery store workers, delivery from transit drivers and so many more putting the safety of themselves and their families secondary to the needs of others in the community. we recognise this is a huge challenge for the district to adapt to a largely unknown scenario and in this time of unknowns. when will school start again and when it does, what will it look

like and how can we provide all resources to the students in need, especially into the most vulnerable when we are facing a budget crisis and likely a recession? coming together to support students and families, during this time of shelter-in-place, we would like to acknowledge many people are coming together in a variety of ways to support the diverse needs of toker to st the students and families. the city will continue to receive much-needed nutritional support and we would like to express or gratitude for the staff who adapts to the free meals for the children of san francisco. we greatly appreciate the efforts in partnership with companies and providers across the city to provide students and now paraprofessional staff with access to much-needed technology including laptops hot spots and internet services and to provide families with young children with learning materials and would like to acknowledge many district and community-based organization staff who continue to work to support our students

and family's needs. these are vital resources to help ensure the students to need to continue to learn during this time. >> thank you, michelle. we are also pleased to see that efforts are made through the community partnership's forum, to the connections between the district, the city, community organizations and service providers and best meet the needs of students and families, not only in this time of crisis but going forward. we applaud the creation of the family resource link available under the family's tab on the sfusd website and by calling (415)341-1716. and we celebrate the work of the study's task force is able to continue during the shutdown, as well. the community town hall meeting held wednesday was well attended and we look forward to the next gathering tomorrow at 4:30 and hope our youth will join us as

they were a vital component of the task meeting. update on the local control and accountable plan and stakeholder engagement. as we presented last wednesday and thursday, the california department of education has made revisions to the process and timeline for this year and the shelter-in-place instituted during the covid-19 crisis is very limited about the stakeholder engagement that is conducted by the task force this spring. we hope to be able to conduct more robust engagement in fall in order to both inform the 2021 school year now due in december of this year and the new three-year l-cap in the spring of 2021. the district advisory groups are making arrangements to meet to review the component of the report due to this california department of ed this june, to gather input from stakeholders to draft recommendations to present to the board of ed.

information can be found at sfusd.edu/budget and sf-l-cap. they are recruiting new members for the new school year. and we include those from different neighbors, types of schools and backgrounds. this represents the arab, southeast asian and philippino communities, as well as those from lgbtq families and those with experience with foster youth, homelessness and secondary incarceration. they will focus outreach to include parents, guardians and caregivers from these communities and on finding ways to include voices in the work we do because we know not everyone can participate on a council. applications to join can be found at packsf.org and available in chinese, spanish and english. applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. for more information or to

request an application in a particular language email pack@sfedu. this is a great way to get a sense of what we do. our next meeting is tomorrow, may 13, and will be conduct askeconducted virtually. all are welcome. this month we'll be discussing impacts of school closures on students and families and we'll be joined by members of the community advisory committee for special education and others. we invite everyone interested to attend an upcoming pack meeting and the meetings are scheduled tomorrow, may 13th and june 10th. if you're interested in attending a virtual meeting or have any questions or comments about this report or the packs in general, contact me michelle@pack@sfd.edu. before we conclude or report, i would just like to make a request that the announcement of

the interpretation be given out at the very beginning of the board meetings before any other comments are made and i want to appreciate the pta's offer to assist, making it a little bit easier for families and others to engage in board meetings. and we are curious as to how families can be involved in helping to plan what school will look like in the fall of 2020 and beyond. thank you. please let us know if you have any questions. >> thank you so much parent advisory council and i don't recall if we open this up for public comment. do we normally? any public comment? >> seeing none, president sanchez. >> thank you so much.

>> board members, any comments or questions for the parent advisory council and justin, i can't see again, everybody. so i'll try. ok, it doesn't look like it. >> i had one question. >> go ahead, sorry. >> so i always appreciate parents, especially parents that are volunteering in this line role anrole.i want to say thankl parents in the pack and i'm grateful for their service and families that are interested in supporting our district to apply for the pack because it's a great way to get to know how decision-making that you are maybe used to doing at school sites, how you can actually support all schools by doing that at a district level. so just appreciate that. additionally, i had a question for you, michelle. i know that our district is engaging in family wellness check-ins and i wanted to know how the pack may or may not have

been engaged with in order to do this work that we're undertaking. >> so i presume you're talking to this michelle, the coordinatorrer michelle. >> yes. >> i can speak to the pack itself. we're not involved in the wellness checks, but i have been a part of a lot of meetings that bring together the head of the advisories and district staff and community organizations to try figure out how we make sure that all of the bases are covered and all families are reached. thank you. >> did you want to respond? >> as far as with our school, our principal is doing a great job of checking in with the

families and really, really proud. i misspoke over there. >> commissioner. >> thank you so much to the pack. i know so much a challenging time and to meet, but it's so much to express our deep gratitude to the advisory councils. i do want to spotlight for superintendent and staff how important it is to engage our parent advisory committees through this fall planning process and again, i think i appreciate that being lifted up and just wanted to echo the importance of engaging our parents, particularly before finalizing something and rolling it out. so thank you. >> was that to provide an update, president sanchez? >> yes, just generally speaking, that's what when do when we're about to vote. >> yes, thank you. so again, we've reviewed the various policies. i believe it's 15 in total and

had line item by policy discussion and all were positive recommendations to the full board from committee. >> ok, thank you. >> sorry. can i ask questions at this time for clarification? >> i don't see why not. again, because it did get raised in the committee meeting for the policies proposal action 8 for career technical education. i know we're updating it with the policy, but i just wanted to get from staff, an update of how that is reported to the board now that it's moving to an annual base says. >> do you want a response? >> yes, please.

>> just for clarification, ratherring our progress against the l-cap goals, i think what you asked for in committee is how are we currently doing it and under the new policy, how do we plan to do it? >> correct, thank you. >> so superintendent matthews, since that doesn't need a recommendation, do we need to do that? danielle? >> so with your permission, president sanchez, i would like to read one together. so our recommended action tonight is that you adopt the policies listed in items 1-11 as drafted with the exception that i previously noted around inner district safety transfer. >> thank you very much. so we'll call on public

speakers, if there are any. >> no. >> so there was one, but i'm unable to figure it out because he has an older version of zoom. so my apologies. >> if it gets fixed, we'll hear from that person later. >> ok. and so any commissioners, any comments? or questions? seeing none, role call, please. (role call). (.

>> six ayes, thank you. >> special order of business 205-1 and memorandum of understanding with united administrators of san francisco regarding sick leave during city shelter-in-place order and we need a motion and second. >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. superintendent matthews. >> yes. chief officer of labor relations, carmello will be presenting this item. >> good evening, commissioner, superintendent and all participants. what i would like to do is ask for the board recommended action to at few th ratify the action g

sick leave and stipends during the city's shelter-in-place orders. >> is there anything in particular that stands out that you would want to share with us about the mlu? >> nothing in particular, only that it adheres to all of the sick leave language that has recently been instituted, federal and local levels and, basically, addresses general working conditions, as well. >> thank you. any public comment on this item?

>> there's none. >> comments or questions from the board? >> it doesn't look like it. ok. so role call. (role call). >> that's six ayes. by the way, i just wanted to thank you, carmello, for all of your hard work on these mlus. section j, discussion and vote on consent calendar, items removed at previous meeting and there are none tonight. section k, introduction of proposals and assignment to committee. one public and comment on

proposals and two -- a motion to 6.1.4, if needed. now. >> so moved. >> ok, any public comment on this item. >> there is none. >> any board comment to this first reading. it doesn't look like it. >> i just had a question and it doesn't need to be followed up. i wanted to know how this is different than -- i'm assuming

that it's an amendment or revised revision and it would be great to find out what's different. >> mr. sanchez, did you want me to address that now or follow up separately? >> follow up separately, unless other commissioners are interested. >> i would be interested. >> go ahead. >> so this item is actually memorialized in our current student hanbook. therhandbook.it includes languaa and one thing, we have noticed over the years that many of the items that should be board policies have been codified in the student family handbook as opposed by the board. so we're trying to make sure as we catch these things that we transition them to board po policies and we reiterate them

in the student handbook and this is one of those items, but we don't expect this to be a change in practise. again, this is just to memorialize what we're doing and if we want a longer discussion about changing that, we can do that. but we're trying to get the status quo adopted. >> thank you. >> so unless i hear otherwise from legal council, i'm referring the policy to the rule's committee. >> great. >> great. section l, proposals for immediate action on the rules and there are none tonight. and section m, board member's reports. ok, so the following virtual meeting have taken place since the regular board meeting. and budget and business services, which was wednesday may 6th. and that was at 3:00 p.m. commissioner lamb. >> thank you. so we got a very detailed update from cfo, megan wallace, and

with young lee and embarking on our process and knowing, also, with histori historical deficitt we had initial projections, both for this coming year, coupled with some additional covid-19 examples. and we went through and the power point's presentation is available to be able to demonstrate closing out this year, the budget solutions for this fiscal year onward to next year, what that deficit looks like.

so i believe under the leadership of pelosi, there's a great push in the coming weeks

to see if we can get what the next package will look like and so again, all hands on deck, both within the district, our city leaders working with the state legislators as well as our federal leaders around what that will look like and the summary there. >> you don't want to press us with the real numbers? >> the initial protection for next year is upward of 80 million. the staff presented some initial budgeting solutions that worse case scenario with the budget solutions, we're nearing about ahead, superintendent. >> the may revise comes out then and we'll have a much better -- i was going to say a better picture but it won't be a better picture. but at least the governor's first projection after this

pandemic, so it will have what he is seeing and what he views as the effects of the pandemic on the economy. so we'll have more after thursday. >> great. thank you. before we move on, engaging with the public and so that similar -- how critical it is to engage our stakeholders to understanding what this would mean as far as tough decisions ahead and tough conversations. >> thank you, commissioner lamb. and any reports from board delegates to member organizations such as csba and cgcs?

those students, when those positions are filled. >> commissioner collins. >> i had a question because i had raised questions and it's related, somewhat, to commissioner cook's question i had raised, some specific questions that i said i wanted and i thought i wanted to get follow-up on. theres was a whole bunch of positions that were eliminated in the student's family community support and i wanted specifics and i'm just wondering, i think it would be helpful for all of us as a board to get that information, and i was hoping in a report, i would like a dialogue and i am wondering if we could put that up on the cal-meeting agenda because staff is supposed to respond. i think other commissioners will be interested and i think it's more after dialogue than one way. >> ok, so when we do agenda review, we will make sure to fit

it in more. >> thank you. >> so the next is calendar committee meetings and i don't know, mr. steel, if -- i know you've been in contact with the different advisory committees. >> yes. so i have been gathering information on who's ready to report and i'm going to bring that to a general review for us to continue to schedule for the remainder of the year. >> and as far as our committee meeting, does any board member have a date and time for their next committee? >> it is posted in the agenda, mr. sanchez. >> oh, they are, ok. my bad? i'll read further. the upcoming meeting on student assignment which is monday, may 18th, at 5:00 p.m. and then budget and business service's committee meeting is wednesday, june 3rd and this
