part-time jobs just to pay my basic bills. you know i sit here and hear about problems with empower i don't hear the people making 6 digits and upper having these issues. the problem is that sfusd needs to show that they care about the working class population that work for the district. it is unacceptable to me when well is so much money that people can't pay the basic bills. they can't afford the gas to get here. to work and this it is an additional sacrifice. i say to you, when are you making changes to show that you care about the working clasdz that work in the district? hel on i'm loraine i work in

10th year. like most of us here i came to teaching out of a sense of duty and something i realized that districts will exploit that sense of duty asking teachers to do less and less do more with less. teachers are not martires we are done with that expectation. i don't need to tell you how many left or what the inflation rate is but i have to tell you on my last night of summer vacation we need a cost of living adjustment now. ir want to be a teacher for life but how and why would i when i as a single person can't qualify to rent an apartment myself in the city i serve temperature is unacceptable. give us the 6% cola and welcome, i hope you understand the laugher you hear is laughter of pain. i hope you make it your legacy

colleagues, any comments or questions for doctor wayne? we will go to the update on the job vision, values and goals and doctor wayne you will present. why hello again. so -- tonight i'm providing an update on our progress as a team in developing updating our vision and values and developing combo mcgonigles for student out come and guard rails. and so -- as a team we committed to doing 4 things updating the vision to -- the reflects the communities expectations for san francisco public schools. and understanding and updating the values behind that vision and using the vision and values to using that vision and values

to develop small number of goals for what students should know and able to do. guard rails this is a terp used to describe how we ensure the values pursuing the goals. so we have a peer process the steps and it started in may with the board of education attending national conchs of effective governing i attended with the board as well. upon the workshop in july based on current performance data and community input. tonight is the draft of what was worked on for you to be able to share with the community and begin a community engagement process that will continue through september to then be

help inform final adoption of our vision, values, goals and guard railless. so, where are we. first, i will present the goal tonight is make sure we captured your thinking from the july workshop and thap we have a draft and it it is a draft of our vision, values and goals for to you share with the upon community. so if you go to -- the next slide and the slide after that. in the district we had established a mission. it is something i appreciate and have seen how san francisco educators and leaders live this mission in their work that is every day we provide each student the quality and instruction and support required thrive. but our mission we do this so what. you answer in the july saying

all students graduate as independent thinkers who mastered academic skills to lead productive lives and contribute to our community. this is of the draft vision statement that we worked on together in july. go to the next slide. our values we talked about values of equity and he 18 racism. about having integrity competence transparency. work nothing community and supporting the whole child. and -- the district- -- in the past several years done work around drafting values and adopting values based on -- you know our district sfusd. what you see on the slide in are the current values we had and then in orange is what is addod

to provide more base said on the discussion we had. we. said we meanted to be student centersd and put student needs first. it was important to emphasize with the focus on the whole child. when we talked about persisting through challenges how will we do that and what came out of the discussion with integrity, transparency in community. and the experience of being united and the board spoke united around what? wanted to make clear it is achieving excellence as a district for students. and then again making sure that we are approaching this work with equity lens in making decisions and inclubhousive and antiracist district. so that you see in orange is how the values and propose to update the values based on our conversation this is what you

shared with the communities. we get the feedback if we talk about being antiracist district we need to be explicit and being we are not accepting antiblackness. that is it is vision. we get to the goals and guard rails. i will explain this we had discussion about the goals. the community watching the expectation we identified one no more than 5 goals for 5 scombreers they are smart goals. specific, measurable, results focused and timely. students out come goals they are describe whatted students know. we know we -- need to address absenteeism that is in the a goal because that it is not a measure behalf students are able to do that it is a measure are they showing and up how we support students and families to ensure kids near school.

goals are around student out come. the board was clear after the workshop we wanted goals in third grade litacy and eighth grading math [inaudible]. when planning [inaudible]. developing the specific goals do we do goals for groups further from opportunity or for all students? what measures to determine if students have met the goal? so, in thinking about how best to approach the goal, we have a limited number of goals to address, turn to the work of john a. power profess or at uc berkeley belonging institute. he helps us understands it should not issue either/or we need to approach it with a minds set of targeted universalism. i will play this video so you

have an understanding of this framework.

thank you for your patience as i try to play this video.

i can explain the approach. is there a way to get my computer on the screen? i can make you a host.

did you log in? so. i can continue with the presentation if i can -- go back

one slide. [music] universal approaches are used murder to package policy or broad appeal. universal policies such as social security and minimum wage provide the same benefit of minimum protections to everyone regardless of status and group membership. treating everyone the same it cannot route out group based discrimination [inaudible] and benefits protections to everyone the resources that could target

to groups [inaudible] in contrast to universalism target approaches are used. targeted policies provide benefits of protections based on group membership or status. it is condition, benefits on income level, american with disability act [inaudible] and affirmative action focuses on disadvantaged groups. targeted approaches [inaudible] unfair low favor constituent groups directing resources to marginalized groups subjected unfair stereotypes. universal and targeted approaches are [inaudible] choices. well is a third way. targeted/universalism meanset setting universal goals achieved

through targeted approaches. targets the needs of each group reminding we are all part of the same social fabric by following 5 steps. first set a universal goal. for example, 100% [inaudible] in eighth grade math. second, measure how the over all population faris relative to the universal goal inform this example we may discover 880 are proficient in eighth grade math. third the measure the performance of population relative. 80% of eighth graders might find 70% are [inaudible] fourth understand how structures and other factors support or impede the progress toward the universal goal.

finally implement targeted strategies each and every group can achieve the universal goal based on their needs and circumstances. other group require a different strategy to arc chief same universal goal. targeted universalism [inaudible] by shared universal goals and [inaudible] strategies capable of achieving the goals [inaudible]. [cannot hear speaker well over music]. you did not see the video but important to share this framework we have discussion about how to set the goals.

you will see then that we are proposing the proposing 3 universal goals for third great lit raze, eighth grade math and college and career readiness and graduate profile for all students but we need to develop the measures. know they are framed in smart terms and you know demonstrate that commitment to improving student out come. the other dilemma was what data to look at when we are developing our goals and these are 5 year goals. measures of what students know and able to do. in the conversation there were understandsable questions around the use of the standardized tests the state test as a markingly point. and we don't want to be driven by don't want

to what is help nothing the class to be driven by the test scores or what is expected in the test. i appreciate we have the graduate profile as one of our goals. but the assess ams provide helpful information about how our students are achieving standards. we are looking at recommending we have the standardized results. ones hawere -- that are -- from the state assessment. and that we are looking at the board level that should not be driving the work at the school level h. is from a book we are looking at street data. it talks about looking at levels of dastasm the state testing is satellite. large size and pointses us in a general direction for how we are doing and patterns of achievement and equity.

. but does not really point teachers or in those working in the classroom in the direction of what to do with students. we want in the classroom and schools teach and staff using that data and street dast a. useds data more local and better information what the needs are. proposing we have goals that are based on state measures and satellite data and know we will use map and street level data. go to the next slide. part of the process as the goals are adopted i adopt interim goals. that's where we take the targeted approach. i have 2 sample goals here. these are not 5 year goals they are goals to achieve each year to see how we are doing. on that one we want to look at

for in an area look at first graders. first graders on the reading assess am. i might have a goal recognizing all students improve but know that our black students need to make growth to meet the universal goal having a specific goal for black students that will be how we take that targeted universalism approach. have the goals for the whole district and targeting the support of strategies as needed. lastly, want to share about the guard rails. the guard rails are -- expectations of how we will honor values and working toward the goals. so, it is person and the written in a way that protects the values of the community and allowing maximum freedom to serve the students. the board identified 4 areas.

effective decision make, treatment of students, instruction and resource allocation. took -- drafted possible guard rails and so highlight one here. and so this is around effective decisionmaking. the superintendent will not make major decisions without consultation with the parents, guardian and students staff impacted. if the board adopt this is it is saying that when we bring forward our plans, if we are going to have a plan for improvement in an area or to do something there will be that engage am with the community and a process that we can point to. otherwise, i should not bring forward the plans and making decisions without having done that. so again draft guard rails in the embarrassed go to the next

slide. inter~im guard rails we can look at how look at data on how we live up to values. the treatment of students we talked about the most important a positive school climate for students and looking at the percent amming of upon students reporting they feel a sense of belonging. with that, upon give time for the board to have discussion here is the question tonight. we need to know where are the draft goals and guard rails consistent with the board's vision and values if you see inconsistency we can -- adjust these this would be the draft vision, values and goals you the community talk and get feedback and involved by the time we adopt on october 25th. terror for the technical difficulty that concludes my presentation. >> before we open up for board

discussion i have 2 public comments. at this time rex ridgeway and mia [inaudible]. >> oning minute each. >> okay. hi. san francisco did not track ace algebra they abandoned i. pestering them. electronic suggest hoebl i'm 58 and will not [inaudible] the 70s i was tracked out of math. my guidance councillor would not let mow take what i needed [inaudible] the [inaudible] who to focus on the under served the one that paid [inaudible] scrambled got their own.

hello matt wayne. w. so. the eighth grade slide 9 is what i'm concerned about it is eighth grade math. algebra one was put to ninth grade it hurt kids the data we get from the curriculum department is not correct. i will not get in that my story i put my granddaughter in summer class in order for her to take allege braone and geometry. those kids who don't take it in the eighth grade are behind and parents have the understanding can work around that. i am begging you take a look at

this and really consider putting algebra one become in the eighth grade. raise your hand if you care to speak we will have 5 minutes. each speaker will have a minute. kitchen we have that repeat in the spanish and chinese.

can we have our spanish interceptor, you might be mute federal you are speaking.

don't vice president teachers in math to prepare our students for [inaudible]. i'm concerned about intdz in the career readiness. [inaudible] many fasils no longer have career component in schools. we look forward to you coming to our next meeting thank you. >> thank you. charles, your camera will show when i promote you i'm promoting to you panelist now. charles. go ahead. >> i have a question about what we are detiming our goals as far

as college and career readiness. we need to 3 out a to g it might be instituted to give everyone the opportunity to go to uc a college for only model that does not serve all. we everif some groups 1 and 4 meet this, we need to prepare them the kids can afford san francisco. are they really able to afford it when they graduate. as far as treatment of students the [inaudible] will not arcllow treatment for unaddressed needs the sense of belonging is not corollary to that. maslow low's maker of need dos they have all the needace met. that is my comment on guard rails. thank you. >> i'm happy to see this plan,

i'm happy to see the goal focussed on out come for students. one thing that is not clear it is important is the presence of a student assess am plan. data that i see in this is sumtive. where do kids ends up. what we need to track where they are the beginning of the school year and regular basis what progress they make so teachers empowered to do the best they can for students. i hope we will have more data driven to help our students succeed. thank you. >> thank you. joochs good evening, commissioners and doctor wayne. thank you for your presentation.

i am concerned however with emphasis on third grade. my understanding the student does not get the basics for read and writing by the time they are finished with elementary school there is not support in place at the middle or high school level its is focussed on specific areas. and reading and writing is not one. i think that is where we have students struggling because they miss those basics and they are continuing to get passed along. if we put a safe guard to ensure that each child is ready at grade level before they get to the fifth grade. that way you don't have the struggle of babysit left behind because they are not able to get resources and support they need to ensure they are able to keep up when they have fallen behind.

thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to echo that everyone made. i want to say thank you to everyone on the board for your service. i want to make sure i acknowledge this and also let's keep in mind the harm that has been done on black and brown children. [inaudible] also let's acknowledge that kids are not being taught because of the cultural differences with the teachers not black or brown. as we address the issues of k-3 literacy and math should include culture in there. and the racism that blocked them for an equitable education >> that concludes virtual comment for this item.

>>. wanted open back up to doctor wayne and colleagues. around the questions >> thank you. from the discussion if you want to seeking again around the vision, start with the vision then the values and the goals and guard rails if there is feedback. really seeing is there anything out of alignment knowing we discussed what may be needs to be considered when we finalize after you engage with the community for the next month. >> colleagues? any thoughts. commissioner alexander and vice president boggess. i was going to are we doing

vision. i comments on goals. >> take them all at once. go ahead. >> yea i wanted to appreciate superintendent wayne for the targeted universalism solution that makes sense and you know for. the public to understands hayou know we are committed to addressing the gaps that exist in the district that and that we recognize it is possible you know if we look at third grade literacy goal we can meet that goal approximate not close gaps that is not our intention. what we hear is that the interim goals will address that. my question around guard rails

with upon respect to member hsu. when we talk about treatment of students i feel the language was unclear and i was not clear if i'm going to the public what i'm say nothing terms of the treatment of students. i guess i would like clarity there. i think adding inequitable treatment might be helpful. what came out of the discussion is the fact that we you all, have over the years heard concerns about students not treated equal or fairly and not being addressed. that's the key point of the guard rail. issues persist that word would

clarify. vice president boggess. for me >> to share with the public and school community it it is hard i think for to you grasp this process because of the stage we are in. there are pieces that need to be determined that will give more information and clarity on how they am look and how they will shape out -- grays and trust -- like progress and really good out in a way that center on the vision we have for the district. to ensure that all students are successful. when you look at the goals you will see a few things that were focusing on. and a lot of that is the reflection of the shift we are trying to make as a board. which is to say, how do we mack

myself our impact and maximize our role in surprising the superintendent, which is the primary staff we over see. we are north able to implement the policies and resolutions we vote on. what this new framework does is give a tool hold the superintendent accountable if he is not able to deliver the primary goal and it is subgoals we have been talking about that really layout how we hit all the goal and ensure all students receive the support they need from the district to be of excellence. and be be understands things are not clear if you don't understand the direction continue has not been set yet we gallon through a board and community process to finalize that to incorporate that input from the school community.

i think that is my disclaim i think looking at them tell feels like there needs to be a fifth one. i know we want to not have 5 buff it feels for our broader school community and city community to give a better feel of what the over all priorities are. i think it is something for to yous think about and consider. and reflect do the things capture everything we want to highlight and symbolize experience in the moment of transition in addition to the things that we want to focus and look in on. i don't have clear suggestions now but i will work and share them with you superintendent wayne, as we move forward, thank you.

commissioner hsu. >> thank you. i have one comment and one question. the comment is hai echo commissioner alexander comments earlier about having the targeted universalism that is very good i was going to comment that with our over all goal and the innerim goals the early interim goals should be over all goals for universal everybody will need a standard. i think we should set early interim goals for groups that further away from opportunity. you had that in mind. they other most in need of our support we should move them not guilty early interim goals. and my question is, are we including the interim goal when is we go in the community? no, so, innerim goals for myself

and staff we are held accountable in puff nothing place the plans to meet the goals. i think it might be helpful for the community to understand when we are talking about. that these other board goals butt superintendent expected interim 1s and examples he provided to indicate that yes, we will have a targeted approach over the 5 dwreers meet the over all outcome we set for 2027. included in the presentation and frame it that way. you are not asking for the feedback but so the community has a picture of what that looks like. >> thank you. >> thank you and thank you doctor wayne, it seems like an eternity we were all here all day on a sunday working on this it is nice to see it packaged and heard.

one, when we were thinking through our discussion about the vision you know it i was excite body it and on paper and on a slide specifically with the concern mission i appreciate this feels more specific. and i can imagine what this looks like and i imagine what this student the students look like. i think that it is good in terms of having something feel concrete and viable. i think may be similar to violent boggess the goals and guard rails for us and the public, i see these as being important in making sure we center students not getting bogged down in conversations not improving the student out come. and note that i think there will be serious growing pangs here. i think the guard rails will cause the most growing pains and

i think it is necessary because when we have the guard rails we will have to ask ourselves every time when we want to provide you direction. ask the questions and have answers to them that are honest if we are honest. i think this will be really important. although speak for example myself it will be where i'm pushed the most. and in terms of interim goals i -- supporting commissioner hsu's suggestion we have we think about the timing. this framework will allow us to not only look as a board and communities with the public and report back. it necessitate there is is account act. the interim goals will be important and make sure we meet the goals we have and if not making sure we canityerate and

reflect and figure out if we need adjustments to do better. thank you. i echo a lot. over you will i feel comfortable about this first start of us going out in communities to get the feedback, dialogue and discussion >> i'm happy with the draft values and even guiding further to the values but even i think more pointien. the universal goals, whafrms my sense is that the communities will be hungry for the interim. goals. how does this relate to my school community? how does it relate to my child

and ejsz experience or communities educational experience. i think this is where why the board is committed to dedicates 50 percent of board meeting time to report that and how we hold doctor wayne and his team to that progress made employmented voice that. i think at first view, what i heard from community member system does that tell the whole experience of a child. and that is where the discussions around interim guard rails are key. i can't stress enough about early interventions is supports for universal goals. and -- i'm excited about the opportunity to draft our graduate profile. and how we will develop that

assessment. i think that is where since i have been a parent at sfusd and serving on the board how are we going to deliver on that graduate profile. that will feed up to the college and career readiness that has been established by the california state department of education and not only is it for me around college readiness and around the clear exploration and finding that passion around the work force and 21st century. okay. thank you for the discussion. go to slide 16. the over all question was where the draft goals and guard rails inconsistent with the board's vision and values. i heard over all it is

consistent. we had the specific change we'll make to the guard rail for the student, the treatment of students. and i heard that when explaining when -- preparing for community out reach ways we can prepare you to be able to provide that picture so that will be helpful. reminder to the public you are interested in the work of the district is doing and on our website we actually have an explain are called about this process. you can check that out. it is under -- our announcements. you will see look up vision, values, goals and guard rails. if you go to the next slide, the last steps are the next step it is are incorporate the feedback and you will have a presentation and document you will use during out reach and sessions you dot work we give you time people be

preoccupied with the start of school. sessions start through in the next couple weeks and through september you will gather feedback. october we finalize it. and -- i have a comment. >> thank you doctor wayne. i wanted clarify a recognition you restated. the interim guard rails and goals are your role as superintendent. you share as an example that will be developed and you finalize the 5 year. >> great. thank you. >> all right. thank you doctor wayne we look forward my colleagues and i look forward as we go in community and you will soon be hearing more about the out reach schedule.

keep will go to the budget update. item 3. doctor wayne. thank you this is budget update. it is information item we bring it to the board because we are required to present to the public at a board meeting when there is any meaningful revision to the budget the budget adopted. and if we have meaningful revision in the first 45 days. great news the revision is received more revenue from the state which it is needed in all districts and in san francisco unified. to share what this means if for our budget i like to welcome our head financial officer. meaghan wallace and executive director of business servicean marie gordon >> good evening president lam and commissioner and public.

first i want to provide an over view of your we here this evening to give this budget update? as you recall, on june 28 the board adopted the fiscal 22/23 budget. at that points in time it was clear there was a good deal of movement at the state level on the state budget. and since that time, we received more information about ultimate low the type of revenue going to local education agencies such as ours. and with that information, we had up to 45 days to return to the board and provide a public update. on the any budget adjustments to

be recognized for our budget. so this item provides an informational update at this point on the revenue outlook. resulting from changes that occurred at the state level. >> more context about what happened at the state level. there really was a lot of negotiation both at the legislator level and then with legislator and the governor. and one of the big sticking points that seems to be common theme -- is the discussion about one time versus on going spending. i think that -- it is fair low common new there is was big news about how much revenue is coming in at the state level in 21/22 comparing projections with the

budget. however, those legislators who were inclineed hold back on spending at the state level were really driven by an anticipated plateau in revenues. in this fiscal year. ultimate low the governor and legislatedor struck a balance and creating a combination of one time restrictive block grants for school districts. i will hand it over on the next slide for doctor wayne. he will over view the budget to frame the discussion about the changes. thank you. i wanted share because this is as we noted my first regular meeting of the board of

education and first budget presentation. in my upon listening and learning i heard there is mention in the my previous presentation there is a clarity when we are doing. when we talk about education budgets that can be a conversation that is far from clear and easy to understand. and so far once you make sure we presents the budget is clear to the board of education and the public what we are talking about employment to highlight 2 things you can expect moving forward and then to share how this organized and meaghan will share the update. >> first one thing you can expect that is important is you should be able to hear from the previous board meeting to the current meeting what changes are presented and why. if you look in the chart here

you see that we have in the first column it is the 2022/23 adopted budget present in the john and so we want tower see what was doomentsed bite board at that time. and what was we were working on. and then you see in the next column is the revised budget in august. and our job to make clear what changed and y. everybody has an understanding how the budget is e is never stat and i can when there are changes needs to be clear to the board and the public about what changed and why. so everybody understands what our situation is and trust and what were sharing with the community about finance. the other thing i want to highlight is hayou should we are focusing here on the

unrestricted general fund we get funds restricted or unrestricted the state that provides unrestricted general funds the basic operating expenditures. these other funds what the state reviews and what the state determines whether they node to intervene in how the district is you know -- upon governing itself if they feel the unrestricted general fund is not being managed limp the things i appreciate about being in san francisco the contributions from the city and from taxpayers in the community to support the education budget but for this major budget presentations it is unrestricted funds and see what we present previously and when we are presenting currently and why there are changes.

what's changed and lastly meaghan explain the changes i want to share i share third degree because i came up [inaudible] the superintendent of educational service. class room teach and sdrekt and ed services and superintendent. my folk out education side of the house. as superintendent, i have a responsibility to make sure we manage the fiscal side. i learned about the budget and learned how to try to make is clear. this you will see in the presentation we have 5. rows. the beginning and funds balance that is like our savings account. those are funds we have available that they are not on going funds not like checking account we pay rent. this is the savings account we

use for expent tours or if we have challenges the beginning funds balance is the first column that is when we start the year with. the total ref new how much is coming in. and how much we plan to spend. and row d the key line. are we spending more or less than we brought in if more we are deficit spending that is the challenges this district faces is numerous years of deficit spending the ending funds bans balance is after we think about how much we brought in and saved how much do we take from the savings from the beginning funds balance to pay for upon expenses or put become in and and save another time.

made of a few things and rainy day reserve and required to keep 2% for economic uncertainty. but if it is not if the funds are not in one of the savings account it is unassigned fund balance these we use to invest or tomorrow how to use or save it for future challenges. that said, just my first meeting and wanted to make sure a common understanding how we will talk about our budgetful meaghan what are the changes not budget between june and now and not different? >> thank you, doctor wayne. i appreciate that over view. so starting from the top, i'm going to comparity adopted budget with revised budget of looking at beginning fund balance there are no changes.

we are continuing to assume beginning fund of 151 million dollars. on the next line total revenues you will see a change. so speaking to the state's decision to increase funding. school districts you can see that our revenue assumptions increase the 655.9 million to 676.5. the total expenditures you don't see a change we assumed 676.9 million the adjustment in total revenues. look at net surplus. how much more we spends then and there take in or less? you see in the adopted budget we were budgeting to over spends

upon by just under 22 million dollars. that took a big hit out of the savings accounts. with our new revenues you see that short fall was reduce friday 22 million to 1 penalty 4 million. we more a better position this year as a result of that increase revenue. moving forward, in multiyear projections on row d, we don't deficit spends in the future years, which is positive. looking at the impacts on the ending funds balance because we are not deficit spending we will not spends dun our funds balance ending balance increases from our adopted budget of 129.1 million to 149.6.

we are able to projected through this revision to have a higher ending funds balanceful you see that the total increase in that unassigned fund balance 20.5 million. over all we seen an increase in revenues of 20.5 million. this budget revision does not prosecute pose increased expenditure they remain unassigned. now back over to doctor wayne >> thank you. i want to speak to 2 issues the one we prepared this presentation i understand that when the final budget was doomentd there were a few outstanding issues that had been discussed but not addressed by the board of educationmented to see where things are going to settle. we were able to address the issues and do it in a way

namaintained the balanced budget and -- then we can look at moving forward and throughout budget development press how we will address these and other programs there may be needs. we know we heard from the long fellow communities about multieyeling walpath way. the jrtc program was eliminated and schools brought it back and it it is in the exactly like before but work to address them. the second issue am is coming with the 45 day revise that shows an increase in revenue. but not proposing a revision in expenditures. why? we need to see how enrollment come in it drives revenue. even for the 22/23 year we look at projected revenue.

we don't certify enrollment until october and see ref now in september. we know and projecting declining enroll am we don't want to ask the board to make investments until we see the enrollment and we than already a commitment by the board of education to make an investment in critical area that is salaries of valued employees. we heard tonight how they need to seat district take action to ensure that value is not in words but in action. we are committed to working with labor partneros compensation to help recruit and retain staff this gets negotiated we will work through that process to determine the impact and then come forward and be able to see

what funding might be available and how we prioritize the work. to support the goals that we identified and identified throughout process of updating the vision, values and goals. and wanted make the 2 points clear. waiting for enroll and want negotiating with labor partners that's whyy woor not bringing changes now. with that, meaghan will share the next steps in the time line and we will open up for discussion. i will close out the presentation and so to wrap up today we have the over view of the new fiscal year the new school year. because this does mean that our well cap and budget planning processes begin arc new. starting now. we have mapped out key mile stones for the work streams for the budget development and

select board meetings on the slide. for l cap we'll launch the task force for the new year. setting intentions for work together and appropriating for the school planning process. we anticipate a mid year review of the l cap. and engagement of educational partners in spring. budget development include fall final revision in assessment. and will complete the first report in semester before the 22-24 budget development process. and we have highlighted board meetings that have budget and business service action items along the bottom. we look forward to a great year. with that we will conclude the presentation. thank you. >> thank you. doctor wayne andan maria.

colleagues do you have questions or discussion? vice president boggess. i have a very quick question that was not covered in the presentation i hope you could respond. i was curious around the money that has been allocated around security cameras and looks and things of that nature. i think someone mention in the public comment 10 million dollars or so al indicatored. i wonder if you could talk not so much about whether or not the money has been spent but if that money is coming from places that are connected to construction or the specific money for those purposes or anything of that sort this you can provide to give more clarity. >> request this was on

unrestricted general fund this is from our bond program. we have our head facility officer to speak to this. >> good evening, commissioners the fuds that have been allocate federal are the security u.s as a result of the board auction in october of 21. reallocating bond funds there is 10 million dollars allocated i'm pleaseed report we have made progress this summer engaging recollects to survey the sites that don't vice president comum bien looks and developing bid packages coming tot board in the next 2 meetings to begin work on those remaining sites that require the looks. again for those to note the vast majority of cites over 90% already have the looks and most of classrooms we're closing the

last remaining tiny gap. that is our highest priority. after that we completed of draft site security matrix that evaluates the un~ functionality of cameras, pa systems -- and other features that were interested in from a capitol perspective and improve and hope suspect that once we get the projects launched for the looks we will go back and start looking in specifically more depth at pa systems and upgrading those across the system as we can. >> thank you. could you share which bond if the fupdzs are coming from. 2016 general obligation bond. >> thank you. why uh-huh. >> just to follow up what is the date of completion or projected date for 100%?

>> our goal have them complete in the upcoming year. we are working on the packaging and sequencing of the projects i get you a refined time line by our next meeting. >> thank you. >> thank you. we will move into j proposals for action. we have one this evening. 22510, 1. amended resolution to include the observation of [inaudible] in the sfusd academic calendars urthed by alexander i like to ask for a motion and second. >> so moved. >> second. >> i like to open up to public

comment. before we go to comment i will have you it is beyond their 9. . 30 time i know they are staying late. to ensure that have a chance to provide comment? didn't? go ahead student delegate. >> i wanted give a statement before. i leave. but regarding the resolution for e-2 recognized as a holiday. i want to say the board of education is centered around creating a safe and diverse atmosphere for every student.

this means acknowledging there are different cultures and religions celebrated. recognizing ede as a holiday muslim students will be able to celebrate their holiday the muslim community deserves to be seen and represented of inclusiveness and diversityup lifting the diversity hold pace for schools have the freedom to celebrate holidays without the added pressure of school. muslim students and families should not have to decide to celebrate a holiday and attending sdool other holidayers given days off there is no reason ede does not get the same treatment. students can get absences excuses the fear can be destructive and teacher leniency

with absence from school. with the componentses we should recognize prioritize our students and their culture. and with that said i want to highlight a student names sarah and work of the ede resolution and organizing a petition to recognize ede as a holiday. this resolution will serve students and student centered and student lead. thank you. i want to echo everything and i want to start off by saying the ede resolution is an example how community activism should not go unnoticed. i know some organizers have been doing this work for a year in order for to to get noticed. i admire them and think they should serve as inspiration to people with causes that persistence is key.

the resolution presents administrative challenges however i think given a year to work this in the schedule i faith the staff will be able to do this successfully. long-term we need better systems to support students who miss school for a cultural holiday students will not be required make up work in an amount of time. i know jewish and muslim students for ede have missed tests and had to do it before the other classmates or far after or not begin time to make up their work. we need a framework to make students supported even if their holiday is not a full day off school. i echo what hansen said and believe this resolution should

be passed. >> thank you. upon you are excused now. we will now take public comment. do we need to move item approximate read it in the record prior to public comment. i believe that this item has been moved at first read thanksgiving is not necessary. >> thank you. we have 23 speaker cards. how much time would you like. how many? 23 speaker card in person and 7 hands online. we will do a total 30 minutes a minute each. i will call 5 names at a time lineup when you hear your name and forgive me if i

mispronounce. i worked as a school volunteer for 10 years. above all i have been on the roof top in local school for past 20 years. part of the public school system. ede a quiet holiday the kids are

enjoying the food and unwrapping gifts my kids you can imagine what ede mornings electric like run to say prayers, coming home dpeting off attire and running back to school. why can't we have ede off? with 250,000 muslims in san francisco, i request we respect the diversity like your 170 days and [inaudible] thank you. >> i'm a pal tainian raised in san francisco. i like do share a quick store in

the fall of 2007 i was a freshman in high school i was waiting for the teacher and i was plan to take the next 2 days off for ede and he told the class we had a home work assignment and we had to turn in or we would lose pointses i informed him i had a religion hell day and i need 2ed days off he said i would have to make it work. he did not give home work during christmas break. he walked away and nothing after. so you have the power in your hands to make the change. we promise you this effort will go unnoticed here today and appreciate your support and look forward to the resolution that will final low shed light on the muslim community who have been kept in the dark. thank you.

>> i'm julie a parent at schools with arab language path ways today is exciting for everyone to be a part of history and make ede a holiday. being per of a multicultural community is obvious how the calendar is organized around the christian calendar. christians don't have to choose. however muslim students have had to make the choices. when my kids were young i read to the class. highlights times and ways different cult urs celebrate new years. how we show who we mean when we say, we or us tone is the historic opportunity to follow the lead and a chance to allow arab and muslim community to

educate and participate in education and educate students and families about ede. thank you. i'm lan an and i have been a residence the past 10 years i support make ede a school holiday to show respect and encollusion. i echo my community member and someone who went through the public education system in post 911 north america and experienced bullying i believe not doing so can marginalize vulnerable students the lack of education around islam i celebrated ede and my class asked fiwas celebrating 911 instead. for much of my childhood public education was not safe space and they should be for all.

recognizing ede builds confidence and shows students that they have valued member of the school and the communities. thank you. >> good evening members of the board. i'm born and raised in san

francisco. also alumni i have been working with youth the left 9 years there is excitement around being able to discuss this and pass this. this would be felt boy all the communities and i want to name ultimate low an access issue. we want people to our communities to feel seen and belong and for folks who don't know we have been working on this for a year. to see that this is going up for a vote is huge for our community and many are watching we hope you make the right decision. thank you very much. i speaking to my mom. when i take the break prosecute school the holiday means a lot for the sxoo will come in an extra date and know because he [inaudible] thank you.

>> i'm a caseworker and member of the resource and organizing center. we are asking you to support the resolution recognizing ede at schools for implementation next year. families rely on you to recognize our holidays. ede is about surverify for our community. arabs and muslims hit hard about trump era and immigration and right wing attacks on our streets. represents peace, hope and power for the community. we are here to stand and urge the sdoo will recognize it next year. our daoist to improust well being of students and families

>> thank you. at this time like to open up to board members for comments or questions. vice president boggess. >> thank you. i think i.ed to first say thank you to everyone who stuck around to give comment and everyone who gave comment on the issue earlier today. just a lot of appreciation understands the difficulties of coming and participating in the board processes. and the long boring nature of them. i think i wanted lift it up is important for us as a district and stele to celebrate culture. but i will say it is also person for us not a second time celebrate religion and be aware of the hypocrisy that exists with winter break and how this

relates to christmas break and the fact we don't talk about that and restel with a historical legacy of that. i want top say i this afternooning the resolution has ripple affect and important for to yous lift and you are talk about how tell impact the school district calendar. as well as will impact other groups looking for rep centation. and like what does this money for us as a district and how we hold that true and ensure that we are creating inclusion for folks. but understanding that not every group will have a holiday or time off. what does it mean it see folks inclusive if we are novelty able to give everyone the same process wes have been as far as holiday and time off. i also say i think another one of the challenges for us as a board is our new process versus

our old process. the new process of the board in the way we look at things we try to stay away from commissioner directed resolutions. we think that they are harmful for the district they don't allow staff the 80 to make decisions based on what is best for students. and can lead to political decisions impacting schools and students. i think that it is something for to yous keep in minds how do we stay true to community and help fulfill the goals without having commissioners introduce resolutions. really utilizing the leadership of the superintendent's office to do it. i think in that regard i wanted to ends with a question for the superintendent if you could talk a bit about like what tell take for the district to implement a resolution like this and what other internal structures that

would need to happen? if the board torch make the decision to support the resolution? >> sure. so -- i will share and i'm look to legal council if there is more to add-on. i believe every year the district prepares the calendar for the academic school year the leadership develops a draft. and we kong sulwith our labor partners and parent committee to finalize the calendar. and so, we have not had a process to add holiday to the calendar. i think when you ask what tuesday take we need to i think we need to expand that engagement for people to understand the implications behalf we are doing and practical terms it means is this we would have to for having one ownership 2 holidays during our

current year we have to extend the school year ends later or start earlier. the other implication is there is not afternoon up front cost to adding a holiday we need to consider the prescriptional cost and impacts. because for employees who work on the school calendar and their number of workdays does not change just the schedule. the others impacts workdays and these are this is time with work not completed during the days we need to investigate more of the operation impact on operation. in sum, think this would mean really talking with the groups we talk with and xandzing that to understanding the impact on families in a community and need to address the operational issues. if there is anything to ad?

>> you gotta all. commissioner hsu. alexander and ward. >> thank you. with due respect to everyone who poke in support of this resolution especially the students we need to establish some criteria by which we evaluate holiday requests. criteria can be or include whether it is a federal or state holiday. or number of students or percentage of student population affected bite holiday or something else. we should be thoughtful about when criteria we should include. if we don't establish a criteria to approve this request, every community can ask for their own

holiday and we valid to say yes to everyone. as vice president indicated. and i don't believe that is a practical way to manage a school calendar or run a school district. there should be a process for such request. is it to convince one or more board members to experience a resolution. a department that should receive a request? how long should it take to get an answer in that is what i money by a process. without criteria and a process, i believe it is irresponsible for the board to approve a request at this time. and as the commissioner boj ~ess, i would like to know the fiscal impact. i don't believe this has been done or presented to us.

were commissioner alexander >> >> thank you i want top echo thanks to community here especially our young are member of the community. so, i want -- i foreshadowed the guard rails i have the growing pains we are working on as and process every decision we need to analyze make the analysis. to be clear i'm not saying this does not make that analysis temperature sa we have not dhan analysis. i also i understand commissioner hsu's discussion of needing a process i greenwich i had conversations with some of y'all who also agreed to the process but many have tried to enfwj in

the work and discussions for many times and feels like process is weaponized. ir want to be mindful of that. and i want to do it right. i wonder photocopy there is any way and may be this is a question -- to doctor wayne. this it is ask before us i have been on the commission since march i seen your face and heard the ask multiple times and then and there is happening before i joind and would feel disingenuous and unfair. it would feel like a problem to push, push, push so we don't have a decision for the next calendar year. i'm wondering since we don't have to publish the calendar until january is there a commitment or can we get a

commitment from superintendent from staff to -- to -- make sure there is a process and make sure the process can be completed i feel like it is 3 quarters of the way don in terms of the work done by commune can we do that in time for january i have an issue with another school year we don't have a decision. i wanted ends on a personal level i appreciate where this is coming from i'm an immigration attorney and activist deportation defense for 16 years and litigated cases detention and refuse ats for admission for united states of america preliminary noncitizens. i know the harm that many muslim community members and families faced. and this is a way to create

inclusion. and to uplift and recognize and celebrate culture. and so -- that's where i am. i would my question now doctor wayne is there a way to dom this and this? does it have to be exclusive. i want to say in my short time listen and learning i hear when you and others say and what the community members that spoken tonight are saying about this has been a long conversation and one in which not fell, seen or heard. and as someone coming in i'm talking aboutmenting to upon listen and learn with a goal of community feeling seen and heard. with this said, clarity on what

you are asking for. because i think as i shared with the commissioner boggess that we will need to rethink talking about and working with the calendar moving forward based on the action if you took action to approve it we need additional conversation what is this means for the district. if you are asking and that could include establishing criteria for future decisions if you have ask if in press can be put in place between you in and january we possibly could do that a different question. i'm unsure of the outcome we have a process and bring it back to the board and say we look exclude following hsu a commencements locked at the factors that go in this decision here other 5 we think including

our values and looking and this lens and make decisions about the calendar. if you are asking for this press to be in place before finalized the outcome of that press is not i could not say what that would be except rigorous and would involve thinking through all of the factors that hearing tonight are important for our community to consider. i answered your question with a question, which direction are you seeking and other comments will help provide clarity. >> commissioner alexander. >> thanks. i'm struggling our credibility as a board pertaining to race and racism when a board member has made racist comments toward

black and latin x community itself not completed the process in making amends i believe she wants to do so and making comments on this resolution which could reflect similar patterns. i want to name that and heim not trying to take a position. i want to name it it is making me uncomfortable and i think it is a continuing issue around the credibility of the board issues related race and marginalized communities. i want to say i'm honored sponsor this resolution requested boy a high school student and supported by the member of the muslim communities. arab and muslim in the u.s. face discrimination including within

the district and so the hell day is not the only way to deal with that. but it it is a way. it is a way to say we see you and hear you. you belong here. but this is where we are. because the community asking for this for a long time. and frankly the question around process. you all followed the process. left 20 years i watched for 20 years the process for getting new holiday system a board member sponsor it and bring it to the board. is tht best process. i don't think so we want to change that press that has been the process. lunar new year was done that year and juneteenth was done

that way and we all support it. i want to name from the community perspective in terms of the press that exists they followed it. and so -- i fully support changing the process i don't think it is a good process. i will say that. i also think there are questions about student learning. educational and psychological research students sense of belonging affects impacts student out come that is documented. to the extent that arab and muslim students don't belong, it is a way. it reflects our values diversity and the things we put and the value it is of the city. you hear people talk about what does san francisco mean? this is the your why san francisco leads.

we have a better way of out and which holidays? absolutely. i don't want to lose that in the comments around process and governs i'm committed to better upon we need to do a lot better i will take my responsibility and not lose site in the process. thank you. thank you to the community and the students for coming out tonight and all the work on leading up to to the evening. many of my colleagues raised we sit here around -- how are we leading the district and how are we really addressing our studentses and community needs. i hear absolutely the importance

of being visible and heard and seen, how to be celebrated. i appreciate commissioner alexander you raising about as we are approaching a new way of governing this may not have been the best prop and how the district with ede and over all, how does this district governed itself the last many decades. and that's one thing i absoluteliment to support. the recognition of ede and muslim community. and i struggle with the governs piece as well as the fiscal impact. i was curious to why initial low staff noted there would be no fiscal impact and we know there

are prescriptional impacts as well as on financial aspect this is also a mismatch to me how we look at we do our work. and setting up those expectations. with our communities and it is clear to me that absolutely moving forward, we need to have stronger approaches. we need to be clear about the guard rails and commissioner ward, i also struggle with the guard rail and know we will be test to the guard rails. so -- that is also where i'm at today. and wanting to appreciate and be ail to have this dialogue. in session we have not head it as a full board.

i want to share a certain level of disappointment with the district. and the level of preparedness of staff to answer all of our questions approximate prepare the documentation commissioners need to have a fuller idea of the impact of the action. and how tell impact the district. and because of that i wanted make a motion. to table the resolution to permit the district to take the time to do that work and come become and present it to us for the rest of the board. and so -- i wanted make that motion and present that to the superintendent and president lam. for us to consider before we move forward.

you would have a time limit we come here the last several mont its is disrespectful to the family showing up for month that is unacceptable to the community. i think i'm making a motion for us to table it and until the next board meeting. a question to the be done between now and then. i asking the board president and the superintendent to address all the outoutcome concerns from

commissioners and share the additional details. this is disrespectful. [inaudible]. this is unacceptable. [applause] council we need a second on that motion? you do need a second. is there a second? go ahead. my question is, is there i do

think we need to like -- what i do think the question of what can we direct something to happen i think if it is a pushing of things along to no end i don't know it is when we want to do. if we can in fact do what do -- both things which is i know we can't promise if there is a process but if we can credit a process allow that press to be finished so we can dlaesz and make sure something is available or not available for the january calendar. i don't want to push to push but push to construct a process done in a meaningful way. a similar version behalf i asked before. you need a second to open discussion and debate.

>> second. >> i think i would want clarity again on what is expected to be brought back. if you are talking now and next meeting, you know i don't think there will be much new information. further look at the operational impact. to this as well as flush out more of the conversations i said would need to happen but to that's different than if we are saying there needs to be a process with clear criteria that will take time to develop and bring badge or if you say bring back the criteria for us to use i don't know, but it could be

something different of the i'm seeking clarity is it more information around this or really do you want a process and criteria to go through. commissioner alexander said this is what we follow. again i looked i don't know a board resolution the last holiday before juneteenth was the lunar new year. and you know it was looked at why were we not doing this if you are asking for that to whole process to come become tell take time to establish that criteria if you are asking for further information on the impact we can provide that i don't know how that impacts what you are working on. >> i'm confused, vice president bogys we had these discussions

for months you knew and delay third degree from june 28 from that june 23rd. second mote nothing june come frommar i vote. board leadership pull today and wait until now. again like -- president lam exit spoke and i respect this decision but if that was going to happen why did it not happen between then and now. this feels like absurd we knew all the questions now to say we want more time feels again like we it does not make sense i don't understand when we did not know then we know now that has changed. >> i want to reriterate that commissioner alexander is right. we should not push for pushing

sake. i reiterate we need criteria and process. and without that, the everbeing in place whether this request and the ripple affects that may come if this question is granted. we will run in the same problem. does everybody have to go for a year and a half and convince 1 or more commissioners to experience we agree that is not the right way. i think if we are going to table this give it sufficient time may be the superintendent can tell us if not january may be sooner. that process can be made clear so that we reevaluate. based on that. may be call the question to the

motion. i definitely feel also tonight we are missing out on the inside of our other commissioners as well, too. that's not anything to prevent us from voting and what we need it do if folks feel like we should move forward. i heard commissioner ward say she would like a cross with criteria before next year's calendar is adoptd that is something we can look at and whether or not that is possible. the one thing i caution the board about you have major initiatives now. and you don't have critical positions filled. we don't is a deputy superintendent of instruction. hopefully the next item you will vote on. aural of the critical people moving this worked for or high school redesign those positions we need filled. that is not to say we can't do

it but need to be thoughtful and transparent about how we could move that worked for. i think that it is what makes me nervous about that makes me nervous about the motion if we say be honest and say we the commit to a process but the process will take another sick montes that makes me feel uncomfortable. if there was we can commit to having not having this drawn on and knowing before we had to vote on the january calendar that makes me more comfortable in the knowing that -- the idea this could go on indefinitely because we have to be honest

with ourselves about our capacity makes me uncomfortable. >> commissioner i suggest then instead of try to come up on the spot, with an analysis whether we can deliver on what you ask for that is something we could come back and yes this is public or we will be realistic it is not possible. and you know the other analysis that vice president boggess was asking for that the superintendent is doable in 2 weeks but certainly the process and the analysis that can't all happen in 2 weeks that is not realistic. yea, i appreciate you explaining some of our capacity issues i guess the question i'm asking we and i come become and bring that in 2 week its will raise the fund ammal question is is are

you saying that you want to make adition about any holiday based on the process and criteria and we can tell you or -- not. if you want to do it based on a process and criteria, that is going to take time to develop the next meeting we can give a time line. it is clarifying if it is a table to bring back information, information will not impact the outcome of impact what you will decide. you are deciding do you want to use a criteria, or develop a criteria. everybody aggress moving forward that is the case for everything or moving forward after you make a decision here. that is the question to consider. in addition to the criteria we

want something that is fair and dwhal makes sure all students and families and communities are seeing in the district. i think that it is a bit of the complicating nature of the conversation. when we historically done is prioritized large school communities in our district for holidays versus figure out how do we to it equally ear represent communities and make them visible besides dedicating days off or other things that we do in the district. to lift up the node to flush out how we want to balance those and engage in the conversations and thoughts around those things. so. i upon don't bed what will happen in 2 weeks that will change. i foal we need to make a decision about this resolution.

make it tonight if we were going to vote it down to have a process then vote it down and have a process if the board will vote it in i prefer vote it in and have a process waiting 2 weeks will not help. >> they have to turn out in two weeks to come and it is not fair to the community we need to make a decision tonight. we are going to vote a motion on the floor. and -- vice president bogys you want to restate your motion. >> a motion is to table this

vote for 2 weeks so we have more time to gather more information. vote on the motion >> correct >> a motion to table the resolution for 2 weeks. commissioner alexander. >> no. >> vice president boggess yes. >> commissioner hsu >> no >> commissioner motamedi, sanchez. >> ward. >> no. >> president lam >> no. >> is the board ready to proceed with the vote on the resolution. >> yes. >> a poison of clarity how many votes would it need to pass.

4 votes. >> that is not a majority of the commissioner's.the majority of the board in the case you have commissioners absent, yea you need additional commissioners to vote. okay. on the resolution. commissioner alexander. >> yes. >> vice president boggess. >> yes. >> commissioner hsu. >> no. >> commissioner motamedi. commissioner sanchez. commissioner ward. >> yes. >> president lam. >> yes. >> [applause]

>> thank you. >> thank you. >> so, thank you for appreciate the board of education for making a decision to be clear. the resolution was approved. for the asking what does this involve. we are clear. the resolution was approved. for developing the 23/24 school year calendar the ede holiday will be included. and that -- in were the development of the calendar that as i said before staff will be

needing to broaden the conversation to determine extend the year or shorten and other considerations and i heard interest in knowing that what will be a criteria or process for moving forward. i don't thanking was an item to provide for board to take action on but heard that -- is an area of interest. staff will talk about as we are develop happening the calendar process for 23/24 what is the capacity to have in place a process and crip terwhy and that might be something we bring back to the board soontory help us guide us as we develop this calendar and questions what this means if any other consistency or community members feel there needs to be a recognition. >> thank you, doctor wayne. we are going to recess for 10

minutes and we will come back and reconvene for -- going to agenda [inaudible]. >> yes, >> we will reconvene, recording in progress. >> thank you. special order of business. item k. the joint use easement agreement related the development of low and moderate income housing. >> doctor wayne >> we have for this, i will make sure. k 1, 2 and 3 we will just (those together. before i guess in the previous board meet nothing june we moved forward with the next step in
