will good evening superintendent and commissioners i'm gainor [inaudible] i'm a proud sfu sd graduating senior parent. and i come to you today with a sad heart to address the issue of the use of the, n, word. and the obvious word is a racial derogatory slur. this issue is deeper, when there is harm and no accountability equal than when others have been held accountable for it is a slap in the face. with no accountability, it is a continue us display of entitle am.

inequality and more injustice. as a public safety responder for 30 yers i burr ed many young people. i know the time is going off. things like this contribute to the type of violence. we talk about texas and buffalo you opened up. and think of that. i ask you tonight i stand with our team and pacific islanders. do something about this. why thank you. good evening, board, commissioners. receiving a letter now written from our team, i'm rihanna and one of the leaders of the arc pack team the letter states, board of education commissioners, superintendent math use and members of the district leadership team.

black parent of a child reasonable asked during a meeting if we had alis on the board of education employmented to know if anyone who cared about black children and families there was a low level of response. a conversation and the sentiment was uncertainty. why? because alli help is a verb it is an action verb. serving each and every an action not wordos paper. in april we wrote to you with the pack who called out the acts of the site administrator principal fong used demeaning people african decentful we condemn the words [inaudible] we emplore to you dot same. >> time.the words [inaudible] we to you dot same. >> time.condemn the words [inaue

emplore to you dot same. >> time.the words [inaudible] we to you dot same. >> time.condemn the words [inaue emplore to you dot same. >> time. i'm kendall and i hear people talk about bad things at me i feel -- like i don't have power but i do. that's my 7 year old i'm hope williams. i'm trying to hole back e motion its makes no sense my mother worked for sfu sd [inaudible] and i'm sick and tired of coming down here and sit and battle for what it should mean to be a

black parent in this school. [inaudible] i didn't feel safe with my child being in sfu sd i believed in the mission it is every day for each child. i'm on the ground because i believe in each day for each child. does not mean because they are black. i sat here while you campaigned how accountability and making a statement you sit there and are [inaudible] to sit and look [inaudible]. you sit there and allow [inaudible] to be abused andllow us to be violated and say nothing. stop worrying about your campaign seats and doing what you are supposed to do. it makes no sense i [inaudible] i'm still enduring the same [inaudible] my name is hope and,

n, ain't one of them. okay. i guess i do get to finish the letter. first off you have additional 3 minutes. thank you. you will yield for 4 speakers. we condemn the word employees paid to serve our students and families and immroer you to dot same we dma command you implement a zero policy for use of the, n, word especially if they don't identify as black and that the immediate action taken by the administrator and the currency to restore the harm she caused students and families. since then of the 7 members lected to serve each and every child only 2 reached out to validated voices of the black family who said the word of the, n, word by administrator caused

them harm. 2 board member responded the families via e mail or verbal conversation. as of today. not one board member denounced the use of the, n, word public low or taken action to do so in policy. this weekend we received a copy of a letter that came in support of the principal flood in boxes with e mails and stated every voice community must be heard. offers said we demand sfu sd and the san front board operate in transparency and due process. we demand both sides heard with staff and parents. we demand to stop the removal and demand to top the witch hunt and resore the reputation of our principal in the school the letter dauzed hurt this position was taken because of the

communities was ill furthermored. but there is an on going dismissal of hurt and experience of black people in the nation come in this district. it seems when an offense occurs the system district included finds a way to negate our experiences and truths to justify our explain the behavior of the perpetrator rather honoring the voices of those impacted well is no question weather the principal used the, n, word she admitted public low. there has been an investigation that found the principal violated full pull codes the word used by the principal will speak to an auditorium of students and staff could have been misguideod the history of the word. the principal continued to use the slur several more times when speaking to parents, staff and supervisor. there is no disputing that it it

is a fact the community of black parents who expressed outrage have been drowned out. there is where you are all supposed show up on truth and responsibility to each and every. that is the notion denied when the harm is black. we don't wish to argue the fact. we do stand in solidarity with the black families we stand with every black family that is told when they speak up and out their voices don't matter. we demand the board does the same not in e mails or closed door conversations but public low in policy and action we appreciate doctor matthews who denounced the word and ensour restoration for the students we appreciate that hughes offered to the principal and a model how to engage in professional development and humility with

resources and the work of heeling. now it is your turn not 4 this school but throughout. black children are not safe. there are questions why black families are leaving. why black children are not producing on test and black students and families lack sense of belonging in the district and why black educators say same there is no wonder. we know why. the actions or inaction ofa district is y. pretty wordos paper in campaign match to the action you regard in policies, practices and when you stands up for. listen to black families and the arc pack. black mindses do matter. arc pack leadership team.

caution in incurring new expenses. as the district develops the budget tell be important to accounts for low are fund balance by the amount of this agreement and others. more important, will be a sure the staffing with the enroll am and budgetary constraints. since decline in enroll am is the most significant rot cause of the deficit it is imperative it be addressed. we have discussed this arc dendzum with representatives and in agreement and they are in agreement that it is up to the district to mitigate the hardships and affects of the new payroll system. that as we are understanding of the impacts i'm available if you have questions. so thank you and thank you for having me here.

in the district for a long time. this it is a significant step resolving the final largest hurdle of the issue and has been in collaboration with other educators. i want to be clear this was bargained with tw class room educatorings did an analysis of issue backwards to figure out what was wrong. and how it could be solved. many different ways and this was the final best case. i urge you to approve of this agreement tonight. and let's lay to rest one of the most challenging and unexpected conscience this we could have expect in the this year. and let's trust that our resilience and he ability to move on in the fall can look forward to thot having an issue like this. and for folk who is feel safe through living throughout summer without undue hardship.

budget cuts and the deepest cuts of any school in the country that still sustained same enroll am and principal turn over. provide greater stability for lowell. lowell is [inaudible] academic achievement for all of us educate being a fifth of the students. outstanding education with the [inaudible]. president lam that is 5 minutes. >> i'm going to ask you to leave if you conditional conduct yourself in within the rules. >> i will ask you to leave the board room if you don't conduct yourself within the rules. of the business this conducted by this board.

this is your left warning and i will ask you to be escorted out. >> this brings me to as board chair, i know the issue around lowell. its history and its mission's process. torn -- this district and the city apart. i want to give context to what we will be embarking on as a body as a governing body and a representative who create culture for this school district. for our students and their learning their future and

educational opportunity that we are responsible for. i know there are strong perspectives, opinions. we have many students's families prohave a direct stick in the matter. current lowell students and applicants to lowell, lowell alumni, our educators. it is important this board listens to them. with open hearts and minds. >> there is another group students and families that attend one of our other 16. other high schools. some of the studentses and families invested in the lowell discussion and some are not. and somement the board to have a strategy for their schools.

it is also important this board listen to them with open hearts and minds. no upon one person or body can speak for all. the board has made makes in the past regarding lowell. and i was per of this. and it does in the matter the mistakes were med boy a prior board. it you in our responsibility as this board to address the matters moving forward. the community expects us from the lected leaders to take responsibility. and i take responsibility in move thanksgiving district forward. it some no small matter that the board was sued. because proposal we did not gift

opinion the notice regarding the discussion and the decision around lowell. and in turn, this board of education lost trust with the community we cannot allow this to happen again. . i cannot stress how important this is and how much it wes on me on a personal level on my heart. and i know it also weighs here for each and every one of my colleagues that sit next to me. this is the lowell context. and how the board addresses lowell has broader implications and lowell is our first big test. how will the 7 of us work when we don't all agree? how will we listen to one another?

how will we come to go -- to our various corners? and as the board's new president i'm committed to doing things in a focused way and order low way. i hope you started to see that tonight. in more important low i know each of my clothe system committed to this new way. and it gived me tremendous amount of hope. as wovrn of my fellow board members said that we all have insight in different partings of the communities what community want for their children. and we are like individual puzzle pieces. as individuals we can't faithful low represent the communities vision and values for public education. but together we can.

and we must. so there is that bigger topic of how the 7 of us will work together. so this student out come improve. of i know i requested this already to my colleagues but we want to aspire to the higher standard and speaking for myself i am a continuous learner and i may fall short of this aspoiration and it my request you all hold me accountable for modelings the higher standard. for tonight for clarity, the resolutions will be moved forward. we will be discussing it as a full board, and i promise you we will be confirming i date in the coming weeks for this discussion

and from this discussion as a process of policy it moves to second reading and for action. i wanted reiterate to the public tonight we are novelty taking action. we are not taking a vote. and this it means that we will be discussing it -- as a full board. and since this there we have 3 new colleagues joining the board, and acknowledging the 7 of us including our student delegates, have not had the opportunity to discuss the issues before us around the lowell and high school admissions criteria. as well as the future of how we look at our high schools as a body. a collection of the strategic prop in our high school for our students.

so i wanted to give some backgrounds and context on to where we are at this evening and where i see us moving forward as a district. [applause] i than we do not also have extensive discussion as a board when we have a first reading but i doment to ask if my clothes have brief -- comments if they would like to. as we have offered also tonight through general public comment. commissioner hsu. i'm honored to be be pardon of this new board and move next a

direction this president lam pointed us and i'm looking forward to working with everyone. regarding the 2 proposals in front of us. number 2, the engage am of the stake holders, i'm fully in support of the intent. of the resolution. and i look forward to engage nothing that process but i recommend this it be lead boy an outside inspect party. not sufu sd. i know the wording of the resolution as it stands needs adjustments i look forward to discussing this when we meet as a full board and regarding the second resolution of continuing let real for i year i think procedural low this matter was settled by court left november. sf was ordered rescind it that made lot row permanent at lowell.

in december of left year the superintendent said there was not enough time to bring back the criteria admission for the fall of this year. this argument had merit. but today may 24th, 2022, the same argument has no merit when referring to the fall 23 admission's process. it is now clear an excuse. the leadership has had time in the past 6 montes to adhere to the court order and no direction was given to staff. now the 11th hour this is put forth to the board. by the way we see it at the same time as the public. to clarify direction for the staff this is a move to corn other board and as a board member i don't appreciate it. it is clear a sign to divide and not a sign to work together.

this past weekends, our full board and new superintendents and 3 day in a conference i'm learn to work as a team for the benefit of our students. i know all of us walked away with a renewed clarity when we had do to bring forth better student out come as president lam mentioned. we were challengered to represent the values of our community when dog our work as a team. as i reflect on this lowell issue i realize lowell represents the values of hard work and academic excellence shared by many in our community. granted even these are not all the values of our community nor are shared by everyone in our community. however, the major of voter in san francisco clear voiced the support for the values of hard work and academic excellence. i look forward to hearing more of the values of our community

as we engaged in work mentioned in the prior resolution. ir look forward to having a new superintendent over see a process lead by outside, independent party. i look forward to working with fellow board members to improve not just the lowell process but improve all the programs across our high schools so we meet the needs of all students with sill verse interests and talents like my twin sons polar opposites and don't go to lowell. coming become to the resolution i think limited partner is nothing to be discuss in the committee. we need to adhere toft court ruling. [applause] >> as i mentioned -- we will be discussing this as a full board we will cop firm a date and that will be am announced through our

confirmed to the public. so -- at the request of the chair of the rules and policy legislation committee, resunrised board policy 4361 certified unrepresented management, personnel item 4 is referred or the recommendation -- it will be referred to the consent agenda at the next regular meeting. >> we will go in agenda am j a board members reports. reports from standing committees. for the personnel matters labor relations and affordable. chair ward. >> thank you. weave met of last week, the week before i forget the date now. on may 12th. and -- had head hr lead us
