[inaudible] the things they've been reading and having a vote would be really good for everybody, yeah. >> operator: thank you.

hello, leslie? i had to promote you to panelist, so your camera may come on. leslie, are you there? >> hi, guys. i hope that everyone's night has been really good. [inaudible] >> thank you.

>> operator: thank you. hello, yvette? >> hello, i'm still here. so first, i want to talk about a couple of comments. earlier earlier, gabriela talked about the schools being shutdown -- >> operator: i'm sorry. this is only about the resolution being put forward by the student delegates. [inaudible] >> operator: getting the right to vote. >> i absolutely support it.

my husband is here, too, and i would like to speak. >> absolutely, we support it, and i hope we can find ways for them to be back in school in order for us to support them and educate them. as a lifelong student, i very much support this. >> operator: hello, susan? >> susan solomon, uesf. i'm in full support of this resoluti resolution. to quote singer-song writer charlie king, it's people like you that make people like me go on. knowing that you have young

leaders to keep up the faith to keep up the fight means a lot. i voted today, and i voted yes on prop g. thank you. >> operator: thank you. hello, megan? >> hi. my name is megan law, and i'm the vice president of the student advisory council, and i'm a junior student? our voice as youth has a great impact on the student as shown by our student delegates and this can take it further by allowing students the right to vote in our local elections. we urge you to pass this resolution, and i would also like to thank president mark

sanchez for supporting us, and allowing students to comment on this issue, and thank you for your time. >> operator: thank you. hello, agnes? >> yes, my name is agnes liang, and i'm on the student advisory council. i believe that many 16 and 17-year-olds take on many responsibility such as having a job or even paying taxes. if we can take on the responsibility of having a job, i believe we should be able to have a say in what affect our communities because the youth are the future leaders. we as students have taken the hit with many of these changes that have occurred in our city, but we still don't have a

change or a say in what we within the want to have happen. i'm urging you to pass this resolution, and thank you. >> operator: thank you. hello, hanen? >> my name is hansu, and i'm a senior at galileo. i'm a member of the s.a.c., and like many of my colleagues who have spoken me me, i urge the board to -- have spoken before me, i urge the board to support prop g. i am amazed at students' passion in terms of politics and in terms of social issues that are important to them. they do their research, they spread awareness on their social media accounts, they keep up with the news. maybe sometimes they even debate with their parents about it. they're just doing everything

they can to be involved citizens, but they lack the power to vote. and i believe with the passing of this resolution and prop g in november, we can truly maximize the potential of all the younger student leaders in our city. thank you. [please stand by]

>> my daughter graduated from sfusd and got to work with student government. the early registration turnout was amazing. i would like to say i'm so proud of all of them and they deserve to have a voice. they are not just the future. they are now. >> thank you.

>> latinx young democrat. sorry about that. my name is kevin ortiz. i'm here to show my support. i know it's been a really long meeting. i want to applaud the school board as well as the school delegates and student leader who stayed on. it shows level of commitment and passionate that people bring to the table when it comes to advocating for issues that impact them. one thing are clear when people vote, they are more likely to get educated and less likely to become incarcerated. i want to encourage the school board to support this measure.

shouldn't out to young people. young people lead the way. >> hello, eden. >> i'm a junior and student representative. as a student, i like the opportunity in it future to live independently in sf. i see most former students to be depending on their parents chooses knoll t not to live in . thank you. >> thank you. india?

>> hi i'm a student. i'm a member of the student advisory council. i like to show my support for this resolution. i think allowing people as young as 16 to vote in local elections will not only be empowering and extremely important to giving the new generation a voice. being able to vote at a young age will be a great tool to combat voter advocacy. thank you for your time. >> thank you. hello joanna. >> good evening. i'm a junior representative. i like to express my support for vote 16 resolution. we're old enough to have jobs, pay taxes and drive. i know 16 and 17-year-olds who are canvassing for local candidates already. they're starting voter

registration drives and preregistration drive. starting to vote now and educating students will build lifelong civic engagement. thank you for your time. >> president sanchez, that concludes public comment on this item. >> just like you heard, thank you president sanchez actually. students across sf is very passionate about what happens in the city. not only it affects them, they understand the power of what being civically engaged can do for the community. i'm not going to go into too much detail, i'm sure voices set a perfect image what this could do for our community. i like to pass it on.

>> we talked about maybe like two weeks ago at our last board of education meeting, we highlighted a project that i cofounded along with sara chung who spoke at the public comment. our initiative shows that you should have the right to vote at the age of 16 and local elections. we are actively engaged. >> i like to thank each commission for their partnership and their support for this law. we're so thankful for the partnership that we have created for this resolution. thank you to everyone else. >> sorry you guys had to wait so long. >> my apologies as well.

board members? i think we're all in favor. commissioner norton? >> i want to say, our student delegates are the perfect argument for supporting this resolution. even if i haven't previously supported it, you guys are messaging and have shown the adults the way. thank you for just being a very powerful argument for this. i already voted for prop g. i'm pleased to support it. >> i voted as well. i want to extend the opportunity for us to incorporate civic education in our school district as just regular thing. i look forward to bringing that to the curriculum curriculum to sow how we can build on it.

[roll call vote]. that's seven ayes. >> thank you. section seven is proposal for action. we already covered for one of

them. sfusd data access inclusion to enhance student access. we moved and seconded on august 25th. it was heard at the committee of the whole last week october 13th. vice president lopez? i don't know if you have anything. i think you were there during that part of the meeting. >> no. i wasn't. >> commissioner moliga? >> we co-authored this commissioner collins and commissioner lamb. i can start reading it. it's three pages.

here we go. resolution 20825a1. enhance student success, whereas san francisco unified school district believes equity is the work to eliminate bias through the creation of multicultural and multiracial practices and conditions as well as removing the predictability of success and failure with cultural factors. sfusd services diverse student body made up of array of ethnic groups with ethnicities and language groups. that is not reflected in our data system. whereas collective student data about the diversity of our

students, families to help communities to have appropriate programs where they are needed most and see important trends in behavior and achievement. whereas, data is one of the most impactful tools to form and engage and create opportunity for students as they move through their education. it also provides policymakers in education, stakeholders and improve education for students. be it resolve better reflect true diversity, sfusd will begin effective immediately to maintain more specific racial/ethnic, national origin, language and speck data that is inclusive and not limited to 21

language groups identified here, arabic, chinese, hawaiian, japanese, russian, spanish, vietnamese. >> i'll continue. data collection should also allow parents and staff to self-identify race, ethnicity

and gender to build the most robust categories from the most general category. asian, black, etcetera to less general, southeast asian, african-american to specific indigenous ethnic groups to allow future participants to select an identity that reflect how they see themselves etcetera. sfusd will immediately begin plans to revise its data to points of contact enrollment form, hiring forms, etcetera. for parents in, student and staff where personal information is gathered for this area of demographic data and ask students, family and staff it

reidentify based on this new data to be completed and implemented by july 2021. board of education request superintendent of schools work with staff to report back to the board by october 2020 progress made publicly that indicates measures of academic achievement, behavior, cultural climate, social emotional learning and includes widest -- the dashboard after publication will be maintained and up stated twice annually in september and march to reflect the most current demographic data available and be to be further

resolve, sfusd will revise support for community partners inclusive of labor partners, city and county of san francisco and community nonprofit housing organizations that serve our students to incorporate data sharing and access to our m.o.u. agreements going forward. with special care to do so that protects the privacy of undocumented students. be it further resolve, sfusd will utilize this data to inform budget decisions to better support student success. training will be provided to prepare staff and partners how to assess and utilize the data most effectively and sfusd will

report to the school board annual data analysis which will be made available to the general public. data will be show cased at the joint city school district and city college committee meeting. >> thank you. if there's any public comment for this item? >> please raise your hand if you care to speak to the data resolution? we have couple of hands. three hands right now. >> my name is carolyn. i'm to express our organization full support for the data access and inclusion resolution.

in order to really foster the leadership, they have to feel safe. lot of the members join the group to understand the struggle. i know that commissioners know that during the mental health campaign, that inclusive data in schools, we would have been able to reach out to other working class who have mental health challenges and provide the resources that they need to create that space and healthy environment. creating inclusive data is important. it allows organizations like ours to identify required targeted services. especially working class asians. i want to address, we heard so many different public comments tonight. need toe create policy and

practices that immediate marginalize student needs we need to ensure that community input uplifts the needs of most marginalized communities. that community is brought in for every decision that the school board makes. for long time, you maintained systems that judge what schools are able to attend. based on the the privileges they have access to. now they need to thrive. i want to continue to urge our folks to move from our value and recognize that we can't just fight over the little this we think we have. we have to expand our resources to ensure every student has the best chance they can get to succeed. appreciate you all and have a good night. thank you so much.

>> thank you i'll comment my brief. previous caller made some compelling statements about the need for this data. i want to applaud the initiative. i may have miss the this at the beginning, i'm curious what the physical impact of this change will be on the district? what will the cost of this data change be? i'm thinking systems and processes, staffing, resources that the district will need to spend -- maybe you already figured this out and there will be no cost. i was curious about the physical impact. thank you for taking my comment. thank you for all your work. >> thank you. hello. >> can you hear me? >> yes. >> good evening, i'm an organizer and work with youth.

i want to thank commissioner moliga, commissioner collins and commissioner lamb on this data resolution. i think it's really important that we have inclusive data that accurately reflects the community that we serve. just working with our arab youth for far too long, our communities have been incorrectly listed and racialized in many ways. i think this is a step in the right direction. just appreciate and applaud the leadership. i wanted to echo carolyn, this we would fight for more inclusive policies. have a good evening. >> that concludes public comment. >> thank you. any comments from the board? commissioner collins? >> i want to say thank you to commissioner moliga, we have

talked about this. he's the one, i'm giving him lot of credit. also -- not just him but he brought in lot of these community partners. i think originally, he always talked about visibility. by live in a community which is really important. we started think being all the other groups that we hear that from. i realized, wow, mixed families are also not recognized p.p.p. i want to shout out to him and appreciate his leadership and bringing together -- this is solidarity to make each other more visible and help empower our communities.

thank you. >> anybody else? >> thank you. it's been a journey. we've been working on this for a while now. we wanted to present the resolution but then the pandemic hit. there's so much work that went into it. commissioner collins was correct. she added so much knowledge and detail around the data. really hats off to the community to our partners, folks who showed up tonight, people who help put the resolution together. we're talking about indigenous folks, black and brown. i thought it was really an amazing experience. to me really, you can't really talk about equity if you you're not talking about everybody.

the knack we're putting out a resolution that we're starts to streamline and look at our entire student body, the demographics i think that is when you can really start to talk about true equity. that everybody being seen and visible. i think it's a good step for us. we have a rich diverse group of kids in our school district. everybody deserves to be seen. thank you to all the folks that were able to stay. >> thank you to staff as well for the incredible work. partnership too. >> that's exactly right. everyone has been tremendous. thank you. john burke and everyone. >> if there's no other comments, we shall take a roll call.

[roll call vote]. seven ayes. >> we have one other action it item. physical education and activity. moved and seconded at a prior meeting. recommendation by the rules and curriculum committees. superintendent matthew? you can read the recommendation into the record? >> yes, president sanchez. thank you. reading this into the record will be our general counsel danielle. >> commissioners tonight we're

asking that you approve the policy, physical education and activity. >> any public comment on this item? >> seeing one. >> hello autumn? i guess not. >> okay. any comment from the board? >> i have a question. the resolution, the recommendation talks about the two-year exemption being put on hold because the governor ended -- has given waivers on the

fitness test. it sounds like we've been given a waiver on number of minute. can you just really quickly tell me what the practical effect is on this issue for particularly for high school students. lot of them qualified for the waiver after they passed the fitness test. when this ends, what's going to be the effect on students and also does this mean that no schools are going to be providing the 400 minutes? >> i can speak to the question about the timing. all this does is codify what the department of education did in the spring, which was to suspended requirement of the physical fitness test. because we were in remote learning. this policy continues that extension through this school

year. we'll have to see if they extend it for the next school year. this is a limited change to take account of the changes for covid-19. with respect to the instructional minutes, there's no requirement now that we provide the minimum and significantly there's no requirement that we track it. i'm sure commissioner norton you remember that it was an issue for us. that's an important thing. the board suspend that requirement. in terms of whether or not students are getting any p.e. minutes i would have to defer on the instructional side. i can't speak to that. >> that's fine. you can update me later on that. i'm just thinking about there

are some p.e. -- there's some intricacies at the high school level. i wanted to know what the effect was. you can update me later. you can update me later. >> if there's no other comments. we'll go to roll call vote. [roll call vote]. that's seven aye. >> section g discussion and videotapvoteon consent calendare none tonight. h, discussion of other educational issues we cuttings.

we covered that. i discussion on vote on consent calendar. then j is introduction of proposal to the committee. we have several. we need a motion and second for the following board policies 2-6.

we need motion and second. >> so moved. >> now public comment? >> raise your hand if you care do speak public comment on any of these items. seeing none. >> unless i hear otherwise from legal counsel, i'm referring the policy to the policies to the rules and policy and legislation committee. >> the only addition i will make to that, the elementary school assignment policy is scheduled to go to the december committee of the whole. i don't know that you need to put it to rules as well. >> right. let's skip it for rules. >> okay. >> proposals -- that was extension of the rules. section l is public comment.

mr. steele, could you see if there's public comment on items that are not on the agenda? >> this is general public comment. please raise your hand if you care to speak on an item not on the agenda. >> i will read into the record the protocol. please know that the public comment is an opportunity for the board to hear from the community on matters within the board's jurisdiction. we ask that you refrain from using employee and student names if you have a complaint about district employee. you may submit it to the employee's supervisor in accordance with district policy. board rules and california law, do not allow us to respond to comments or attempt to answer questions during the public comment time. if appropriate, the superintendent will ask the staff follow up with speakers. >> seeing two hands up president

sanchez. >> hello. thank you for the opportunity to share. and thoughts ton and thank you for all that you do for all our students. i don't know how many people are willing. i like to ask the board to postpone deadline for name suggestions from december until after we're back in school in-person. we heard from the board of education's public statement late last week that the school participation and renaming process is optional. therefore no resources need to be redirected from schools to renaming effort. i would like to respectfully say that i believe that was unfair characterization of the situation. our school wants to participate. we want to do the work with the students and the families that important task requires including student like research brainstorming sessions,

presentations, community meetings, vote, etcetera. we received so many messages about the district's concern for commitment to our wellness about how extremely difficult but vital it is to prioritize what really needs to get done during this unprecedented time. versus what can be pushed out when we return to in-person school. i'm in agreement with the community findings to rename the school. that is why the work needs to be done and done well in a meaningful, thoughtful and respectful way. please consider extending the

deadline until schools are back in person. thank you. >> hello jone? >> good evening. almost good morning. president sanchez, dr. matthews, commissioners and student delegates. my name is jone, i'm executive director for uasf. president caroline sent a letter to board of education dr. matthew stating uasf support for the renaming of schools but requesting a pause until after the pandemic. significant number of site leaders contacted us with concerns regarding the timelines and the process. the following are excerpts that were written by a core group of site leaders and represent what we have heard from many others. as the board of education takes on numerous initiatives

affecting sfusd, uasf site leaders are requesting that naming pause. we are committed to the outcome and attention presented by the board and the committee. we believe that we should continue to examine how white supremacy culture affects the experience of our communities and committed to being anti-racist leaders. we want to make sure students are not subjected to attending schools which have caused harm to the communities they represent. engaging all of our stakeholders will take longer than the two months that we've been given. we want the opportunity to engage our community in thoughtful dialogue. when done with care, renaming process can bring the community together and strengthen commitment to progress. with a current timeline of process, schools can engage community virtually to come up with list of names. this process may cause further

harm by rushing what could be a meaningful community-driven process and recommitting to a new identity as a school. we want to support our teachers and staff to ensure all students can access classrooms, parents are engaged children on learning and to support our communities with the resources children need to be safe. in closing, we are invested in this process and believe by pausing we would best position to represent the school district and engage in authentic partnership with voices across our community to provide input on selection of new names for our schools. >> thank you. >> let's make sure we forward that communication to the committee. >> okay. >> all right. section m, board members

reports. commissioner commissioner lamb?

>> i've been speaking to families, commissioner lopez has been speaking with families. we shared questions. we got rolling list of questions that we're working with. the main --
