tv   SFUSD Board Of Education  SFGTV  June 20, 2022 4:00am-6:16am PDT

4:00 am
expenses, that certainly you know, it would create a substantial fund bal. and it's worth noting that the board has 10% requirement. so putting additional money in there means that it would be put incorrectly, i would not want to spend it and therefore creating surplus reserve that would trigger issues with the state. >> thank you, that sounds super thoughtful and then so then the criteria for what to invest now is kind of around these critical immediate needs that
4:01 am
we've identified? is that right? >> yes that's correct. so is the empowered differed net pay m.o. u is something that the board has previously approved. that's one of the more straightforward proposals, another important one cybersecurity and other common core cost, those were not built into the multi year projections but cybersecurity is a deeper for all school districts and should be factored in so i will consider that a correction in terms of our assumptions and is a core expense. and then maybe to highlight and definitely worth additional discussion but the piece about the l cap and counting staffing. so the l piece is the l-cap coordinator in previous items and this is really staff.
4:02 am
fiscal assessment team and if not management assistance team and the health risk analysis. so you know, really building on prior conversations that have occured with the board and not wanting to expand bond those. and a request for next week. one question i have around these, it seems like a number of them are dealing with important functional or operational issues. part of the issue, there is
4:03 am
controversy on resource which is a resource source base program that has data talking about outcomes and there is one of the cuts was not an enrollment it says we're going to reduce the central ts as maybe seems like, in my view, in a real budget crisis, maybe we have to do that. but rather targeted investments that we know and we know are affective that we want to make now knowing that we're going to have additional revenue. i guess i would want to put that on the table for discussion. can we put at what some of those may be?
4:04 am
i'll be sure to fut in conversation. >> maybe not only individual programs but really particularly for me i'm interested in looking at my early elementary early intervention and secondary particularly. that would be helpful with learning and outcomes. i'm a little curious around the four-day revision if you can talk about it. and if we have our best case scenario from what the state is putting forward. how can that money essentially be used understanding the constraints on hiring and staffing since that will be at the beginning of the school
4:05 am
year versus before going into it? so i guess what would we need to think about as far as our constraints as far as the way we can effectively use those funds to support student outcome? >> well i think, there are additional programs that we may want to restore in looking at outcome. are there areas where we should be considering additional conversation. so i think will need to be central. to this stream and i think also just recognizing that there are restricted resources coming through the budget as well. i was trying to be limited and
4:06 am
focus on restricted general fund. we really do need to look at the unrestrict asked restricted sources together and think of how they can be paired up to address some of the outcomes that you're considering. for example ufc is lined up through community grants. i do intend to speak more fully about the expanded learning opportunities program. but i think ultimately, the board does need to look at full of a list of the types of investments that can be made.
4:07 am
and way the pros and cons versus one time investment. the empowered expenses are one time because we would not want to put on going expenses on to that block grant. but to thed extent that we're discussing on going compensation and the dynamic of the growing cost of personnel compared with the poll that lost enrollment and declining attendance will have on the growth of those revenues. >> no problem, i guess i wanted to talk about the problematic piece.
4:08 am
i'm hard to press telling people that they don't have the jobs anymore and in august, we would say, those jobs are available. how do we get the position staff? is there a plan in place to do that? or we would set intentions and see what happens? how do we navigate that so we can allocate the funds. so ttsd going to be a xwhintion and i anticipate of having some elements of funding that we could initial right away. we'll be realistic and honest about whether it comes to hiring or for example, if they're really is a push to
4:09 am
accommodate new programs or restore new programs, we need to think about augmentation of our human resources staff or other other mechanic nims to what levels need to be pulled in order to achieve the goals of the board. at what point will we need to have process and kind of lead will we as commissioners have as well as what kind of engagement or process will site base budgeting have in that process as we roll that out.
4:10 am
so this the board want to engage in additional conversation, that would be possibility recognizing that we both want to meet an important mild stone of passing the budget. but that the conversation is still very much under way. so next two meetings i see as tuntsz then also keeping in mind that we will be reviewing site budgets in the fall taking into account final enrollment at individual sites. and that may be an opportunity to support school site budgets.
4:11 am
i guess we can talk about it maybe this is a question for somebody that is not directly you. it feels to me that we're telling people that if things go well in august we'll be making adjustments to fix things. we'll be really limited in what we can do and there will not be a way to quickly administer those funds. and i think i'm trying to get to you tell me that that is true or that is false or somebody in between. on how funds are invested. the list of items that have been proposed you know, so
4:12 am
that, within the budget not 20 million dollars those are all important. thinking about special education investment other technology investment so we've talked about empower a lot but the district financial system is another area of risk that could be right for a significant one time investment. i would say that this board needs to way the trade or and that we would structure a plan that looks at the big picture
4:13 am
not making individual problematic decisions. it is my goal to help tee that up to look at budget trade off and helping the board consider how to spend this additional revenue in a strategic thoughtful way that supports our students. i think sometimes there is not a clear line from our taking action to people seeing things happen throughout the district and having to have clarity around that. >> yeah, i love that, thank you for stating that so clearly.
4:14 am
what should we assist so we don't get to a certain date and say oh look, now we know this and we're going to figure this out. about how they line up with priority is there a work around
4:15 am
in progress or explain to me when we should be prepared to have that conversation with staff? looking at investment in-person he will, so looking at colas if we're going to get a cola do we look at a cola for our staff. so really trying to build in different options for level of investment for aep of those categories. aligning with on going and so forth.
4:16 am
and i can make sure that i incorporate that into next week if the board would like to engage as part of the approval process. i may bring your attention to some discussion that may happen along the may revision is released. just a few days i think it was on may 13th. you may recall that there was a framework that as well as had, with help from colleagues instructed that look at what is
4:17 am
she describing, high medium and low ranges for different categories of investments. so i think that structure was a very good start. there is a wide range so that's thed shoe that has to drop it's a big shoe that has to drop. but in structure and range of cost, i think if that's, if that's starting to get a little fussy, it happens every week. that may be a good place to refresh your memories and a good launching pad for the discussion next wednesday. >> that is what i was referencing. and i think that it would be great to pick up and continue that framework.
4:18 am
>> okay, thank you so much meghan. moving on to agenda item e, consent calendar. do i have a motion and a second on consent calendar. >> moved. >> second. >> great. public comment? members of the public may comment on any matters on the consent calendar but they should not be permit today severed discussions. do i have any public comment?
4:19 am
>> yes, hi. item number 45 i'm coming before you as a inter chair of this oversight committee. and there is an item that i would like to get you to look at. when you look at item number 45 today, june the 14th there is a modification contract to for 1,171,000. so this is the second modification. this contract was put in place at 1.4 million.
4:20 am
so when you look at the scope of work it's all about the design and it's all it. so i guess the question is, do we pull it and get more explanation from facility as to what this is? and why we jump millions of dollars. it caught my eye. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> seeing no virtual public comment president. >> thank you, any items withdrawn or corrected by the superintendent. >> no. >> any items removed for first reading by the board? commissioner shu. >> i would like to sever 13,
4:21 am
14, 15, 16, 16, 49 and 50. sorry. 13, 14, 15, 26, 27, and 49 and 50. >> can we also have a conversation around 45. >> so for the items severed. >> 13, 14, 26, 27, 49 and 50.
4:22 am
vice president severed number 45. >> before we go to roll call for the items, do you have a comment. >> jess, i just wanted to be happy about anything. 17 and 18 student nutrition services planning to convert moving to fresh food and i just, i am just so thrilled about this progress made to restoring our kitchens and my understanding is that over the course 4 to 14 will be moved.
4:23 am
students are eating more thank you to susan chan who submitted and i want to applaud the work that student nutrition services is getting us to a place where we can use your kitchens again. >> thank you. can we all have roll call vote, please. >> thank you president limb commissioner alexander. >> yes. >> vice president. bogus. >> yes. >> commissioner shu. >> yes. >> commissioner matoni. >> yes. >> commissioner sanchez, commissioner ward. >> president lam. >> yes. >> five ayes. so at this time can we go back to the items that have been severed for discussion?
4:24 am
>> yes, start with 14. >> 14, 17 they're all similar nature. >> staff can come to the dais. >> if you can say what your question is. >> right, so these are all related to master contracts with entities or organizations that are going to help us with curriculum and reading. my question is, have they been selected based on. how have they been selected. >> i hol wise, our head of academics is not here. but i can say that the majority of the software that you see on the consent calendar are intervention software or
4:25 am
software that enrich language arts that are existing contracts for many of them. i don't have exact data and i cannot speak specifically but i know that there is a very thoughtful process that dot and cni go through for all of the contracts that we have around software. >> at the curriculum committee meeting, maybe a couple before, we talked about an audit that is wrapping up and waiting for some conclusion and moving forward. soists wondering if these
4:26 am
contracts are tied to that effort? >> not yet, they're going to get us more aligned in intervention and software that we've used. this is just software and not a result of audits. >> thank you. 49 and 50, the oh. hi. how are these contracts all the way through 48? are they equivalent to contract? >> they are not commissioner and i'm going to maybe need general council to help me remember the exact number.
4:27 am
that we're allowed to move into contracts and the board of education ratifies the contract acknowledging that it has been bit out and gun through proper procedures and therefore then establishes a legal obligation between us and the contractor. it is also different than approval. but it's important for purpose of transparency and future ral enforceability of obligation to each other. that the board fat fie the contract. >> so it's a matter of amount, do we know what it is roughly?
4:28 am
>> i was going to say about 90,000. i'm sorry i'm blanking. >> i'm pretty sure it's 99.1. so if you'll look at item 7, you'll see a similar type of item and those are contracts that we ask the board to ratify because they're under the delable amount. >> thank you. and for item number 45. >> do you have a specific questions. >> i guess if you explain the modification and i guess the reason for withouted going
4:29 am
through everything. and that lead to us doing a modification. is that ak railt? is that accurate. >> i'm going to let ms. dodd response and then i can provide the context. >> hi, yes. so the initial request for rfp went out in 2016. that was the first year that the district had a dedicated portion of its bond so infrastructure modernation, which the district had not had previously. so we went out to bid for partner who could help us bring in the expertise that was needed to do new design standards for the cabling and
4:30 am
wiring and the bond program and specific focus on technology infrastructure. that allowed for an amendment which was that first modification i think in 2020. the description does not indicate here but we did do another rfp, the cordova the company was the sole respondent but it did go through another rfp. >> i would also add that the services are similar to the services that we had for program management of the bond program. and what is unique is that the essentially the teams embed with our existing staff teams.
4:31 am
to make sure that it's being done according to our specification and needs. i would use the word our algt to review and understand how the services being provide to us are consistent with the market and fair criesing as well as the services that we need. we do need to change the way we're doing this. and as we pursue the next bond, we will do so. we really need to help to change students. as we plan for the next bond though, we're working very closely with our body teams to we think the structure.
4:32 am
so we would not have to rely on what we're seeing right now. if we have a new bond, i guess we're trying to rework where we would not do that. we would see another modification extension as we continue the relationship as they hold this work for us.
4:33 am
and then we issue as needed with newer cleaner rfps that are more realistic and duration of contracts in particular. >> i guess my last question is generally around using consultants for the services understanding kind of how important they are but also how like short-term they are. as far as having the expertise to calendar these situations. i understand we're always going into bond processes and what not. >> having done it the other way. it's worth every penny. >> what i find most helpful, i
4:34 am
will speck to again. it creates a helpful checks and balances where each of the interest including staff, we have our own project management staff and design staff. we have contractors. we have designer and also these program management consultant. provide different perspective on the work and what needs to happen so they both have strong perspectives in terms of their predictions. and so i have felt that we have
4:35 am
very much benefited from that kind of arrangement as opposed to you know, the city and county has a massive architect pure workforce. i think that would be too far in the other direction. >> commissioner alexander. >> that makes a lot of sense to me what you were just saying. but i'm curious at this particular contract where it says, developing a district master plan. et cetera so where is, i guess
4:36 am
what i'm confused about is why is that work, why are we spending another 1.9 million dollars on that work? am i misunderstanding that? >> so thank you. >> so the focus around the contract are with respect to the technology infrastructure and montheder personalization that is required to support 21st' century learning for the wireless capacity for the speed of the fiber that we have. and what it does, it provides a parallel sort of, it infrastructure master plan that goes along with, i'm sorry the bond program. i'm stumbling on my words right now.
4:37 am
but how is the infrastructure going to support that? and have the flexibility so that needs expand. almost all of our equipment is on our network now. so meeting the demands. >> i guess i'm trying to understand what the increase was about? i'm trying to i understand why we're increasing this contract. ?fm to be able to complete the building in the instruction that is on strak to the 2016 program. and then through rfp, there are cost increase as part of the new contract so that would be,
4:38 am
you know, that would be the extent there. >> so for the on going, but, so still for the same 2016 project, yeah? so we add those and then in the bond programs, the building and schools that are part of the bond master plan also have technology as part of that.
4:39 am
so it's also to ensure that we have consistency of our standards and practices across both of those. and this person, is that the consultant? >> yes. >> it looks on here, like they get $40,000 a month, is that right? am i getting that right? >> the firm, not the individual. there is two other people that get $30,000 a month. i'm trying to understand, that's more than anyone in the district, that's more than the superintendent, is that accurate? is that individual getting
4:40 am
nearly 500,000 a year. >> i don't believe so, i would have to go back and review that. i'm just looking at the, staffing plan. total cost and there is 39,000 for that person. >> commissioner i'll be happy to get more details. i would find it hard with the volume of work that three lone individuals are doing all of it. and as a contract where specifically individuals are identified as part of the team
4:41 am
but there are other team members that being said, i am lessen gaijd with the management day-to-day and dot team. >> i'm not trying to play kofp you, i'll be happy to wait and get these answers. i apologize to staff for not raising this before. >> i know dr. wayne would really mraoesh me saying this. as you know, the agenda come out on friday. so with the one of the things we want to do is give you accurate information and the more opportunity we have to go back and research, we can give
4:42 am
you the most accurate information. if you can ask those questions, saturday, and sunday, we can get you more accurate information than on the spot. >> it was interesting, at our conversation, we talked to some board members i think from houston and they said, i cannot believe that you vote on things that they give you 72 hours to vote on. i was at my cousin's wedding over the weekend, it's not practical to have 72 hours, that's something that we're talking as a board. >> and we're working to shift that, at the business at hand, thank you commissioner alexander, i would like to call for roll call vote unless there is any additional. >> can i ask for a xlair fickation, are we holding or voting on this item.
4:43 am
>> you're voting on this item. >> right? >> so 45 separately from the ones commissioner shu severed? >> i think severed items would have a separate vote. so individual one should be on item g. and i would do individually because they were pulled individually. >> so we need a motion on the new ones as well or on the severed ytsz. >> yes, sir.
4:44 am
>> motion on 13, 14, 15, 26, 27 and 49 and 50. we're doing 45 separately. so we'll do commissioner shu's severed first. >> second. >> i thought we were voting individually. >> so as long as board member are clear what you're voting on. so for clarification we'll do a general vote for the batch that commissioner shu severed and then we'll do a separate vote for 45.
4:45 am
>> okay, thank you. >> so for 45? >> no. >> thank you. >> we do. we do. >> so moved. >> i'll be the second. >> okay, on 45, commissioner alexander. >> no. >> vice president vogue us. >> yes. >> commissioner shu. >> no. >> commissioner matamodi. >> yes. >> commissioner, sanchez, ward, president lam. >> yes. >> that's 2 aye, 3 nays, two absent.
4:46 am
>> it fails. >> thank you. >> 45 fails, chris. >> wooer going to do a batch 14, 15, 26, 27, 4950. we moved it and second. >> yes. >> yes. >> commissioner shu. >> yes. >> commissioner matomadi. >> yes. >> president lam. >> yes. >> five ayes. >> for clarification, i would like to get a report on impact of item 45 failing to the board, please. >> president lam, are you asking for that at a later date or would you like it now. >> no at a later date.
4:47 am
>> moving on to item 8, 4361 for certified unrepresented supervisory and management personnel. i would like to ask for a motion and second. >> motion to approve. >> second. >> dr. matthews?
4:48 am
that's why i'm skipping, because i cannot function. i need a motion and a second, to extend meeting beyond 10:00 p.m. >> so moved. >> second. >> we will do a general consent. we can, we will do a general consent, we are now on hour five. moving to agenda item f to retro active contracts, i need a motion and second. >> so moved. >> second. >> public comment like to open for public comment, please. >> none for in-person. >> seeing no virtual public comment. >> thank you so much. are there any items for john or superintendent? >> no. any ytsz removed for first reading by the board?
4:49 am
okay, we're severed by the board or superintendent? >> seeing none, would i like to get roll call vote. >> commissioner alexander. >> yes. >> vice president. >> yes. >> commissioner shu. >> yes. >> commissioner matomodi. >> yes. >> commissioner sanchez, commissioner wiseman ward. president lam. >> yes. >> five ayes. >> okay, now we're to agenda 8 proposal for action, revised board policy certified and classified unrepresented planagement. i would like--did we have a motion and a second can we repeat that please. >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. i would like to call on dr. matthew to introduce the designee . >> so the designee for this

4:51 am
>> commissioner shu. >> yes. >> commissioner matomedi. >> yes. >> president lam. >> yes. >> five ayes. >> moving on to agenda item i special order of business, public hearing and adoption of the local plan and annual budget and annual service plan for special education for the san francisco unified school district and county office of education, 3168s01. i call the public hearing to the special education annual budget and annual service pan. i would like to call for a motion and a second on budget and service plan. >> so moved. >> second. >> dr. matthew, would you like to introduce the designee please to read the recommendation. >> so reading this recommendation leading this public hearing will be our head
4:52 am
of special services gene robertson and her team. >> good evening, everybody i'm happy to be here at this hour and i'm not doing this alone. the special education ombut person and simone green our executive director of fiscal service sxz operations. we're ready for the next slide. stating our mission, our mission as special educators is two fold better outcome for the lifelong success of our students. and in doing so, we adhere hard one rules and laws that are
4:53 am
also right for children. we do this on students. to meet the individual needs for a free and public education. often referred to as vape. if you can go to the next slide. you may be familiar with the next slide. we're always striving for coherher ans.
4:54 am
i'm going to add this to she is responsible for overseeing the local plan in public hearing process. and she will now map out what it entails. next slide please. >> thank you, so before we talk about the local plan, i want to
4:55 am
provide information about sellpa is, it stands for local plan area. the map you see here shows responsible for providing special education services for the students within their boundaries. san francisco is a large sellpa students in our county of education as well as four charter schools. our mathews is also our superintendent of education. gene is not only head of our special education and also sellpa director. required to submit a local plan to the california department of education every year. the purpose of the plan is to ensure that all students have access to special education programs and that all federal and state special education
4:56 am
laws are being followed and that the plan is being shared with the public which is why we're holding tonight's public hearing. lastly, each must have a special education. the cac place an advisory role in the district and californiad requires that v.a.. c advises the sellpa on development and review of the local plan. this spring c a.c. leadership had several meetings to review the plan to share questions, concerns and priorities.
4:57 am
and our budget which together demonstrate that our is put together a program that meets the need of every single student. and thed final dot is certification of the plan. we asked the chair of the committee to sign off and give their assurances that they have done their part to provide services.
4:58 am
shows every single service provided in our district and the location of each and everyone of those services. is a very en debt plan and we also have posted on our website for the public to view. next slide please. notice that overall enrollment is dropping. this is not due to over identification of students but rather to the fact that they're
4:59 am
leaving public schools at a faster rates than those with disability that are staying. this pushes the notion that sped cannot be the only game in town. universal design for learning and programs like coordinating intervening services otherwise known as csas in improving our general services. and our special education population. we remain concerns about increasing growing inexperiences staff in the overall lack of satisfy, are moving us farther away from the original goals of the individuals with disabilities education act otherwise known as id a, that was written to include all children and general education classrooms to the greatest extent possible at the neighborhood schools.
5:00 am
going on to the next slide. and graphic on the site that illustrates the settings and related services. regardless of disability over 73% of students spent the majority of their day in general education setting. with the percent of education students increasing in our schools, inclusion, universal design for learning and positive intervention services otherwise known as pbis become more crucial. we have to work together to meet the needs of all students. it is important to know a few
5:01 am
things. it's a service. students receiving services are general education students first and should have access as their non disabled peers. there has been a steady increase in typically the students have multiple services on their ieps. special education incompasses a significant portion of overall budget. it's appropriate in just given our core values and our students disabilities. we must be efficient and mindful. our executive director will report the budget numbers for the year ahead.
5:02 am
>> good evening, everyone. this is our proposed fiscal year special education budget at a total of 209 million. i'm going to review this table before i begin and i'll be working from left to right and then top to bottom. we'll start with our site base staff including special education teachers, educators and psychologist and other providers in the field. our central at 11 million dollars represents the 8 had
5:03 am
employees that support the vas network of students and those serving in the field. these positions are analyst just to name a few. extended calendar and substitutes recovers the cost as well as year-round assessment for pre-k and early start students. includes materials and supplies but does not include software and licenses used for instruction and those are included in the consultant line below.
5:04 am
so i'll start with definition. nba stands for non public agency. sf,s may include sign language interpretation and short-term or long term behavioral academic or nursing support. nps stands for non public schools. these schools offer very specialized that are not offered in our cohort schools. attending non public schools have rare and significant disabilities. our consultant offer varied services depending on the need. they foster augmented communication on high-tech devices like an ipad or conduct evaluations which we refer to
5:05 am
as iees for eligible students. some consultant provide specialized training for staff and also included in the line item is instructional software and licenses. due to on going staffing shortages our np a and consultant budget is adjusted to cover the needs for ies. mental health services, this number represents grant funded expenditure at 3.3 million dollars. le number includes non public schools and consultant that provide mental health services. and i want to emphasize that there are additional mental health expenses in the budget but they're spread throughout the budget. we highlighted this as this number represents what is
5:06 am
covered by our mental health federal and state resources. made with families, for either missed services or exposure in the field. operations such as rents and leases and mileage and telephone and food postage supplies, non capitalized and incorrect cost which are the cost that cross over so thank the team here at the district and then extended school year.
5:07 am
and this number includes salaries and curriculum and supplies coming in at 4.4 million dollars. i'm going to move in a clack rise direction. so the large direction you see represents 68%. like the light every red at 5% representing our full-time employees that are supporting the vas network of stud ens and those serving in the field. and then the last large bucket
5:08 am
that will draw your attention to is that green category and that's 15% of our budget and includes non public schools, non public agencies and consultants which you may recall also includes and i'm going to hand it over to gene. >> we're going to wrap it up but we want to, inspire everybody in the room. because we need to do this together. we have a big job ahead of us and we cannot do this alone. so that we can rise up to meet the needs of all students.
5:09 am
all those staffing stability and training supporting of in home languages and mental health and trauma informed resources for our students most impacted by pandemic. and thun of the silver lining, we're bridge gaps throughout the city and address where the staoems fall short and find way to see support each other and serving in our students. so we're going to go on to the next slide and say thank you for your attention tonight as we present this to you and here are our contacts and we're all coming back next year. so we are going to continue the
5:10 am
good work and look forward to partnering with everybody in this room, thank you. it's been nice to see you in-person. i would like to call on any public speakers. >> thank you, we have two in-person, alita and, you have one minute each. >> she's going to let me go first. >> i'm salina should you and i'm a parent of upcoming third grader. i thank you for your work. i wish that more people would know about it i'm so amazed of what you did.
5:11 am
and i want today let you know, that my upcoming third grader, i didn't know about my son has been on speech therapy since age 2 and he graduated before he start kindergarten. and every single year, i would be asked or told by teachers, different teachers in kindergarten in first grade and second grade that there is something wrong with your kid. they're tell me, he's on the ground for two hours, and i didn't know where to go for help and i if this can be shared with the school. the school educators, we should not send back kids we need to provide help for them. thank you. >> thank you.
5:12 am
>> so on behalf of the special education, i would like to particular our special education for their collaboration. the district has been very transparent. thank you very much. i would like to highlight a couple of things from the report. over the past years, five years actually. our expenditures to support students based on ieps drew 35%.
5:13 am
so we need to do better. like i said for ali, special education can't do this alone. 70% of you are sit in jen ed. we need more school psychologist and more behavioralist everywhere. thank you. that concludes in-person comment. please go to virtual. >> please raise your hand, you will have one minute. can we please that repeated in spanish and chinese. >> [speaking spanish]
5:14 am
>> thank you dwiez so much for that report. i'm so grad that i was able to stay up for it, despite the long and tiring day i had. it was very informative. my biggest plea to the board to members of the public to anyone who is interested in no district has had gotten. we need advocacy support, we need help because we have a lot of people. and we need more. and get people qualified to
5:15 am
teach, thanks. >> thank you. >> liset. >> vivet. hava. >> yes, first i want to thank everybody. i just grateful for your work and leadership. other thing i want to highlight breaking down, and straining, usually the frontline is general education and administrators teachers et cetera, guiding parents as to
5:16 am
where to go and how to help your children. as a parent who has struggled with my son navigated, it would mean everything to have those on the ground understand how to make my needs as i try to navigate for myself but my son himself and the best way to do that is to bring more people into the room together. thank you so much for your work. >> thank you. that concludes virtual public comment. >> thank you. comments from members. councilmember bogus.
5:17 am
>> i was wondering how students are performing academically? and just hearing, what should we, that we're not able to meet because of our budgetary constraints and i guess how we balance the different responsibilities without having the necessary funds to kind of do everything that we're required to do fully. >> thank you for the question commissioner bogus. the first question had to do with how the kids are doing academically. and i'm not poised to report on that. i can say that we had a jump in high school literacy last year
5:18 am
and i don't have the numbers in front me but i remember being celebratory. so we can report out some of the big information that we get from rpa. typically we see progress on their ieps so thts very individualized. you also asked the question about how we're managing. you had a question as we were prepared. we were not good. it was very very difficult year dpoer us. we were absolutely all hands-on deck.
5:19 am
that was a blow that our central confidence could not sustain. we were not able to respond in the way that we typically do that is stretched anyway. we really honed in on certain schools that were struggling with staffing. and we paid a lot of attention, we got creative on compensatory agreements, proactively. with worked with the teams, our
5:20 am
adr, we typically use a dispute resolution when there is a dispute or problem and disagreement. this year we front loaded so many team to team resolution, knowing that we were not going to meet their needs. so we worked with families to determine what was going to help their children get to that next level due to the lack of staffing at some of our schools. i kept of thinking of nicki talking about grace and compassion. we kept that to alive to the best of our ability because people were working so hard and everybody knew that. so while there were struggles, it's continue as reported as much.
5:21 am
but we did struggle, we came together, we did the best we can. we restructured we had to do things definitely this year. we came away from the cohort mode he will because we were covering so many classes, we honed in on the autism behavior focus, the and rsp focus. so instead of having five supervisors we brought it down to four. and we also put a supervisor on the backlog and we created a dashboard so we can monitor the school sites. we're going to keep the
5:22 am
structures so there were some silver lining and learnings to build on. >> thank you all for your hard work and also for the families who are engaged and actively making sure that we're accountable in serving students. i feel that public institutions have a tendency to keep going even if we're not able to reach the goal because we have the responsibility to have the service available. i'm wondering, what is it going to get for us to get to a place where we're treading water to ensure that students are successful and what we think what we need to do about. the 200 million dollars right now is like a drop in the bucket of what we need. and we have to figure a way out and not just asking everyone to do better and do more fiscally
5:23 am
responsible without any money to do things. where we're maintaining and trying to improve and understanding that we don't have the financial capabilities and staffing capabilities to do everything we want. >> one thing that happened this year, it happened to be a really helpful tool. i don't think that we're doing business as possible. that motion of bringing the community together is real.
5:24 am
chris cloth, we talk to her a lot. i'm using her as a symbol of the work that has to happen. julie and i meet one friday a month with a whole mereoot and how to best to wrap around kids. we have a responsibility to serve them from bell to bell. we also really strengthen, i will not say we strengthen, we build professionalle development module we didn't xwlaoetly list it off it's all set. people were not coming at the level that we thought we would.
5:25 am
wiier not throwing the baby out with the bath water. the work of c safe. you heard that about that earlier tonight from our partners with ali and the apac that was a heavy list to buildup during the pan 'em i can. i know that some of the commissioners wanted information and that is forthcoming. it's of the time, the time is right to change it up, because status wrote is not working right? >> i just want to say thank you, and i was one of the commissioners that was asking
5:26 am
questions of of staff and i'm very interested in learning about c safe and implementation and really making head way there. i'm also interested in partnership with general education and looking at tier one intervention and offerings before kids are getting referred out. i heard time and time again from sight visits how difficult that is. i know that there is work to do and i'm interested this figuring that out in severals. there is definitely gaps in what we're able to service understandably what you've
5:27 am
talked about today. it's a big deal, but it's which is clearly not enough to do the work. we need to be more aligned. i love what you said, it's not a place so it's part of what we're doing with all of our kids. so thank you very much. and i don't know if you wanted to add where you wanted to focus where head ways are being made. >> i'm a fan of gen ed obvious
5:28 am
as a gen ed teacher. yeah, i guess my response, julia does have something to add. >> yeah, so one of the really exciting things, parent of a kid with iep and now graduating. so i've seen our district go through many different education plans. one of the most exciting things that i have seen in this room is the adr funding. so this is funding that is being used to directly address the relationship families have with their school sites to repair the relationships, it's based on restorive practices and work on communication which is all a good thing and it was good in the way in the way that it was and tf better. we got grant funding.
5:29 am
so we're getting individual to do some of the education, so we can start to spread the word because it's not, it's complex this work. and guide them on the benefits of 504. on the benefit of who needs an iep? we have not had the budget to do this before. it's really exciting that the grant has allowed us to do this work.
5:30 am
and really listening to c a.c. parents. there is some bills coming around, sb113 around inclusion and universal design for learning that includes training for for staff and administrations. so there is some exciting things coming. >> i'm glad i asked. >> thank you so much to the team. at this time i would like to call for a roll call, please. >> commissioner alexander. >> yes. >> vice president. >> yes. >> commissioner shu. >> yes. >> commissioner. >> yes. >> chising sanchez, word. president lam. >> yes. >> five ayes. >> the public hearing is over so the board will go back to regular session.

development that and the next item will be for the more moderate income units. zoo together they comprise 135 units of total housing which would be more educators and other employees pending to take up the units for which there is a priority. >> using the wrong mic. is there public comment for 2 and 3, i will take them together. >> there is none for in-person.
5:34 am
sorry can we have that repeated in spanish and chinese. >> [speaking spanish] >> okay, roll call vote. we'll have to take the roll call separately. >> i have a question, just real quick. i know there is two different ground leases, but there would not be two separate buildings,
5:35 am
i didn't think so, i just wanted to confirm tha. >> that's correct, commissioner, one building and there is no physical physical distinctions dwaoen the parcels, they all represent harmonized physical structure. >> we'll take a separate roll call vote for items 2 and 3. >> thank you on item 2. commissioner alexander. >> yes. >> bogus. >> yes. >> shu. >> yes. >> yes. >> president lam. >> yes. >> 5 ayes. for item 3, alexander. >> yes. >> vice president. >> yes.

>> i would like to introduce this colleague that will be instrumental in carrying this. karen sullivan who some of you know and have seen the grounds committee meetings, she is the executive director of facility and capitol planning on ms. team and she is very steep in this project and you'll hear from her on future project and for my part will be cheering my project on from a greater distance but this was a major mild stone and look forward to to more updates in the future and i want to thank our partners at the mayor's housing
5:40 am
i just want to say the first time i met you what is something that you're working on. this was the project and you had an opportunity to introduce and be approved and congratulations. i didn't time to agenda q to committee. public and board comment on proposals at this time, we will help proposal for first reading and then assign them to their next journey in the process with the board.
5:41 am
this is requires a single motion and a second. the board encourages members to address their concerns to the body of the board that is going to be reviewing that which is going to be the entire board. so we're going to allocate a total of five minutes for four items that we're moving forward. so at this time, i want to see if there is any public comment for introduction of proposal to assignment? >> yes, we have six here in person and total of five minutes so take that into consideration as you're speaking.
5:42 am
jennifer, mitchel, a lit a fisher, leslie who. >> it will be 11:00 o'clock, i'll limit to 5 minutes, so if you have not spoken tonight to yield your time or be very brief so that your public members can have their time at the mic. we heard a lot of concern, i think some of that was a lack of charity. some folks may think that it's all committees and i can see when we read the resolution that it's the standing
5:43 am
committee and not advisory committees. so i think it's important to make sure that see what committees and how long you expect it to be for and how the work will get done that will happen especially because of this board has been clear that they have meaningful discussions in those items, thank you. so if the work is not done in committee where will it be done? as commissioner bogus said healerer, this has been, this spot has been the only place where the families have had
5:44 am
their placed heard. so where do we go? we talked about l cap all night. we talked, i mean, have ftd presentation have been about engagement, why do we do it? thank you. is it what happens to the work that is sitting there now? that has been pushed there? does that impact how long the meetings will go? how much more will happen? will work be dropped as a result of indefinitely and then further and again this is me
5:45 am
too. in spaces where there is no light and air folks, it breaths mistrust. we're talking about money, there is lots and lots of questions involved that can't always be injured line by line item, i do run my bofsh ans meeting, i understand the streamlining, i understand an evolutionary process. i also know in many years of experience that it does not come trust when taking away the different measures that provide access and discussion for. again meaningful discussion.
5:46 am
but really where can we have the meaningful moments and that's what these committee meetings in absence of having to do that here where that action is not perm missable but also efficient. thank you. >> hello i'm selina chu for the incoming next year school year budget. please consider many priorities that we currently do need to face. i was speaking to a student sitting out there in the lobby and she said why don't we have saturday school.
5:47 am
i ask you to spend the money and the staffing issues, that you know, that layoff that we currently face. and please also address the covid learning recovery. we should be reviewing these and don't, don't money, money is important but we should not be sacrificing our student's quality education because we're low on money. i do urge you to talk about these and we should, we should continue to speak about these for our kids can continue to receive the best education.
5:48 am
is it more families will be coming back so we get more funding from the state level. so we can provide the support that our students need. thank you so much. >> we reached our five minute. >> yes, there is 20 seconds left. at this time, i'm going to close public comment. the superintendent resolutions item 23 and 4 will going to be referred to a special meeting for discussion and action. >> president lam that is scheduled for june 22. >> thank you for that reminder. >> item 5 will be referred to
5:49 am
the june 28 regular board meeting for action. and i did want to provide additional contacts i know there were both public comment and just overall questions and we're going to talk about some more of the board but i just wanted to take the opportunity that the board is embarking on redesieping their work and how we're building a stronger focus on and well being of our students. this is a short-term step for helping the board to make this transition. and that it is a temporary step but a necessary one so it allows the board to have the space and focus. all the work that may have been sent to committee will be handled by the full board at this time. and that i hope our goal is that this creates more transparency and not the opposite. and how the board has conducted itself has not been the most affective and not been where we
5:50 am
want to be able to see where the changes we want to under go as a governoring body. and this is a reasonable temporary step. so i look forward to having more discussion as a board on the 28th around why this call for tem to rare' pause and the plans that are moving forward in our district of agencier al priority and our goals. so at this time we'll move to
5:51 am
item l, member reports on. commissioner sanchez is not here this evening, commissioner alexander. >> i filled in for him because he was not able to be there. we had three items. summer programming for 2022 and another on math programs. and we had a good discussion on those. we had different opinions so we forwarded with no recommendation basically. so i'm assuming that maybe it will come back on the 28th so we can all talk about it, do you want to add anything? okay.
5:52 am
>> summer program as well. all right for report for membership organizations seeing none tonight. are there reports by other board members? seeing none. and at this time, i would like to agenda item m memorial adjournment, dr. matthews. >> this evening we remember mr. tim warner, at 6/4 mr. tim warner was a larger than life second grade teacher. taught at loma, he was a champion of the champions he was known to always encourage students to be confident and show off unique talent that were not necessarily by others at school. countless and seniors and dancers will remember mr. warner rooting for them on the
5:53 am
sidelines during their talent show act. most noteworthy is how he sphere headed longstanding fellowship with the san francisco opera. he collaborated with his grade level partners and parent to create amazing productions even year even on zoom. students and parents would help design sets and costumes and choreography. one resent offer was about mythical laugh mermaid and half unicorn all about conservation about a boy about two belly buttons that taught other students about inclusions.
5:54 am
in mon honor of mr. warner, mira loma will dedicate a stage in his name. that's where a special plaque will remain for him. >> thank you, at this time we'll move to close session and before the board goghs into close session i call to the speakers to the close section speakers in the agenda. there will be a total of up to 5 minutes for speakers. >> we have one person. >> thank you for the school board for resolving a certain issue to satisfaction, it was very difficult when that issue was not contained and it became a huge division and distraction
5:55 am
in our communities. but i'm glad that you hang tight and now we can focus on learning from that experience and chilling among communities and moving forward and i wish that next time, if something like that happen, make sure that the different stakeholders will be informed to including cpac so that we can be helpful. and so glad that they step up to help out in the situation, thank you. >> can we have that repeated in spanish and chinese.
5:56 am
>> [speaking spanish] >> thank you. >> suzette, apologies if i'm not pronouncing that correctly. >> i would like to say that, i feel that that, that situation was not handled properly and that this is what we continue to see over and over in our district. issues of anti blackness are not addressed. our rules whatever the black community comes up and issues
5:57 am
of repetitive behavior, of racism it's taken lightly. nr h there needs to be actual policy to protect black parents and students. we're using that using the n-word is justifiable and our children are having to read that and see that and it's traumatizing to the black community. when you have administers who say they don't have know what the word is, they should not be working for the district. everyone understand what that
5:58 am
word means. it's agrecious to the board to not take action. >> thank you. >> i agree, the board is never every acceptable. and i don't know that it was resolved. they never ever accept coming from the school later.
5:59 am
>> thank you. >> i juflt wanted to echo what ms. martial said. i was shocked to use the principal used the "n" word. i was shocked that parents who wrote an saturday stating that it's okay to use the n-word. i'm just shocked and surprised that after lis noting to the presentation today, that a member would step to the podium and say that everything was resolved well. >> thank you. that is your time, thank you so much. that concludes public comment. >> the board will now go into
6:00 am
closed session

6:06 am
information? how were they supposed to keep learning? >> i thought about reaching the student who didn't have internet, who didn't have computers, and i wanted them to be able to see me on the t.v. and at least get some connection with my kids that way. >> thank you, friends. see you next time. >> hi, friend. >> today's tuesday, april 28, 2020. it's me, teacher sharon, and i'm back again. >> i got an e-mail saying that i had an opportunity to be on a show. i'm, like, what? >> i actually got an e-mail from the early education department, saying they were saying of doing a t.v. show, and i was selected to be one of the people on it, if i was interested. i was scared, nervous. i don't like public speaking
6:07 am
and all the above. but it worked out. >> talk into a camera, waiting for a response, pretending that oh, yeah, i hear you, it's so very weird. i'm used to having a classroom with 17 students sitting in front of me, where they're all moving around and having to have them, like, oh, sit down, oh, can you hear them? let's listen. >> hi guys. >> i kind of have stage flight when i'm on t.v. because i'm normally quiet? >> she's never quiet. >> no, i'm not quiet. >> my sister was, like, i saw you on t.v. my teacher was, i saw you on
