the mistakes we've made as a see, tonight we're going to share just where we are in we had a workshop in june. it wast the end of the school year, so we thought it'd be helpful to re are. and then there are a few topics that the commissioners wanted morelates to our enrollment policy, you know how this connects to budget stabiliz trajpnsitioning and supporting the transio fn>hrough this process share about those. and then we'll have time for discussion. first we talked about going through. and we in march we' our portfolio points and looking atl what are our equity e very clearsupport ours what did we hear from the communi then we're going to do an equityas an environmlno as president alexander saidrly equity needs to be a inform. this process. and in fact,at we started off by of =rour community. and that's something that other districts have not doneed criteria that school that districts is enrollment building performance, but we haven't found a or.sk about criteria like we've asked about, like

historical inequit community. so we're takingthen we're going through t1ehis design process. and i wanted to spend a little bit more time on didn't slide. and so we're starting off with what weore. so that's we needed some objective way to say how do we start considerin criteria would scho just s we knew where that wa so we are assigning every school what we call a composite score excell use of resources. we also tried to be that we÷p sizes that at our school. we do want invested millions os that we want our students to community t>-o do the same in in o maximize the use of new ones. we want our com excellence, which include providing a quality instruction, as well as the child. and then we want to have clr staffing and budget p on year to year they can, what they know nd not have to go thr happen. thisf what's going to be available. so we have all that information now we're using that to scenariosed, like i'm going to speak to in a an updated enrollment policy that we're going topl like poti density or the enrollment or where our prog placed, and while some of those were captured in

the composite we're also using that to look at our whole system. and then we're doing an equity audit that will be conducted, that's being conducted by a t policy. and as well as looking atmpacts. sohat does this timeline steps we've valuable our two phases of community had two town halls with, you know, w over, wenity sessions a as just showing up at like parent advisorymittee community meetings. and just directly from our families. whatpes for you know, we can improvehow s concerns. and so now working on drafting our scenarios and looking them through wlgoing through an iterative process where we're revising them based on the feedback we get. and now we'sharing again the community and the board an update on our sharing our recommended scho portfolio with the staff. so then we're going to talk a bit about what happens mber 18th. but befor share the relationship between our new enrollment student assignment system andergers and education of five years ago pakñssed

policy recognizingow frustratings been for families who enroll in our schools to basical 72 schools from which to choose. you tell us go to school, and we'll do our best to sometimes families get theirability around that process. and it often leoools to where they live. and it has not resultedhat we need, so pasllment system. and assignment system using zhat po on pause. itse hasn't really been picked we're going to implementnge. determine our new9& shaved schooe' this w to go establal l about erning]óo goni special educionn program at one school. different school know, we want to have education. and for language that make sense. question for the board. we will useand we you know, and we' going to share one potential change to that system based 7, the new assignment system will five. that ard another key update is why are we doing twis if we hear problem and we're not presenting thisj3 as solving our budget this, people feel like it's a euphemism about using ourtis a resource

alignment. but this iss best. and that process has been looking at how we2ow can we get new revenue, and then how do been looking at all of those areas and i hear i'll skip areas. and as someo n turn overrocks to see how we can im our we did. wehrough we did achieve our goal of $103 million inm budget balcing stions ster go back and lookt our budget plan that we presentedue to reducehi oe budt ilizationwx you said, this is not solution to achieving that fiscal stabilization. what thison to, we use our resources to bes is moving forward with this aspect of resource alignment, because the quester use of resources? try to provide students deserve, which is not just a classroom teacher but as socialwoztctional coach, thoseto do that in with 100 students in them orem, right. which is still aan those are the questions we're asking oursves. and we've concluded better use of resources. we can better support our students, not by trying mainings, but by trying to providee whip, we will show

whene because the board has asked this, that if we ty and not having so many unused spaces, how? what's why is it better to have that school of 250 versus 100? we will presenting that as part of our plan. the last. but sowa anansition look like? what does the communication look like. so you september 18th, we are trying to share a lotur site leaders as well astr partners and then with our as we get closere announcement, you know, we're sharing this i ications. and,tailed6ó[7 families, staff, students, l public and community based organizations. and when we going to be translated intosie. our seven ma speak to th communities that are impacted and try to be direct, honest and sensitive. plan to be outiately from our school communitiesxt twot our schools at least twice at each school to conversations, to hear the questions and concer so we can come back to you the concerns them as we go throu opening up to a, again, just

a litt of the school year. as we prepare working with staff to support any changes to status, working with our labor partners, recognizingain, like we have said, we're going to we heard from itgoin been in schools for decades and understanding what a to make a change. and but we know our staff are committed to serving of the physical building. but really working withar in front of them, and then supporting our famili÷ through any change, going to be enteringh you know, talking to them front clear, like here is the7$ school gned if you want to do something different, here'ss you know, operationally ready, like we commissioner alexander said even up to now like we don't always haveu/ want to make sure there's enough desks at the school. we want to we want to, yo know, we need tore that ally? place and then lastly building school communities, you know,e communities. families should have conversations, school site councils should meet, pta should meet aipac cttommi talk. so setting all of that up, and to happen from september and then from bember to the end of the year the last thing i to say is s transition support and why we are bringing fo2 policy for first

reading is prow, here is the closure plan. here's where your student w don't want there that. but families might another school, so we're going to al0hw them process. and in our current policy we have these tiebreakers that ba you live in the we're aski policy just for 2526, to add a tiebreaker for students to cloanted to bring this of families on september 19th, when we go out to the know, we have the board will support this process if you want to apply so that's why the second agenda item is there as a first shared a lot of information just ending. iack to kindergartners, but again, this is one of our goals is d career ready. and langston mentioned being on ourl e task force is that our students, and they want options, know they have a breadions and interests, as of how to do that,hether that's going that's being in a larger school environment, amaller school to providing those options, but doing id that sets up go school, the options aresubject to these year tear changes that happen resources, being a organized as ifve 60,000 students when we have 48,000 it's

how we can deliver on conversations we've had with does a quality high school experience look like? be to enroll students where it's not suchame a guessing go? so with tozv dress some of at june. i'm sure there'll be othss it up to commissioner president alexander-ñ to lead the discussion. y so aga our job represent the vision and values of the as possible the sort of level, as much as possible are up on the you know, again, it's easy to go down a rabbit hole but into the specificswe know as as community and the way that we've articulated thosee superintendent and staff in a helpful way plan that they bring forward is meets those standards. so is any commissione any space now to give some time for our state folks to input on kind of the processt not a part of whatoing at not right now. i think we're going to have a full

board meeting. okay well,. and just just want to recognize i askedfrom resource alignment to be up here in case there's specific questio that, mm co superintendent ment this we all know thatthactually debate about how much money it saves, actually. right. and ething we want to talk more about here.oremost we are not going to close our budgeteficit be very, very clear. no, that will not h it is impossible. we'd our sc a school district. so we will. so that's not the pgh and soe're not focused justional impact. so go aheadr that clarification. i guul a lot of concern i've heard from the communit of taken kind of how is-p kind of best inte of the educational needs not really this here. and if the to address yeah. and maybe in responding to superintendent wayne, if you could think maybe connecty our goals. right. as as he's asking about the eduentsonwe've we've outlined thoseecond here. yeah. okay. just want

highlight, this was in in someaye specifics about what'sional experienceill, will have, right. we did share examples of what that will, will an. so like in 23, 24 school year 21% of vacant positions, not filled. we are in a better place this year, although because it happening, it feels worse. and we're goin or our educators to meet our and guardrails is toied teachers in the classrooms we have, again, where we're notn, the having qualified teachers. and to use some of our resourceo juske sure that was clear because you said that. oh, kin andsaying staffed schools, having fewer schools is going to help us do that. correct. having fewer might? because i don't know. i'm not sure that's obvious. right. so when have, so right now when we when i say we're spreading our resources too thin, right. it means that we still that can not

by small, you smallstain to so for example, you know, we have bilingual classrooms where w soograms across our schools, we have smaller the 20 to 1s the class size we're lookin and so wha is those classrooms either become classes. actually that's one of the data points i'm going to share. we do have a teacher shortage in finding bilingual teachers is çh really difficult. so we'd fewor to supportso many clqs that's an example of whatnthirulook, like-% iause. theh this obvious whas.as an and so school, whens are they get&)wo classest gradeacerw6i+asur#ft one other grade level colleague collaboration is for us.re we th collaborate, but if they don't have a grad collaborate with, it makes it much less of a relevant experience. yes, they help each otng but it means so much when you rate ends up happening is you know i'llyou know, just as i shared in our language lot of combination cl where students are in,combination class, third fourth combination class. while we you their best to meet sure kids are gettin do try to have as few combination classes as possible. and so again, schools, we can reduce the number of combination classes we a

few examples of howhen doing these things lead educational experience where we think kids will betoal ourmes. yeah. can we stay onthe same topic? okay i'm just going to ask before you'll be next. thanks. but can i just ask are perintendent has expucational needs of our students? i think i'm say could just stay on that for a second and what what up? yeah, because we haven't presented yet the full case oflan addresses that. but this is why we're having this workshop awe, what else would you need to know? yeah,e present to the board, yo need to be convinced that this is a path forward for the district. t do think it's reallyt to be transparent and honest about the pçl, and i know that that it's easyconflate the saving of money and our deficitwe're doing it with things are related. but i think reminding ourselves that this is things are not going well. like, let's op6nportunitybu way, i right, that actually i outcom question alexander and to you doctor waynes i'm really interested about, and you've

, student x, you're having a bad day. i'm a save that problem for tomorrow or st our nurse isn't here today, so can you how this resource alignment would improve the, if in terms of more studen does that allow us to make sure that educators in classrooms, buter criticalitical folks to m safe and thriving? so, yeah so onof the things th we want o context is what happens if what happens if we do nothing right we one of the main ways in]dgst year wesource a started to say, here's you heard in audience a in public comment in worker per per school. right. and we're facing. we'll talk about that ne doing that right now is would not bs that and so we're saying this is the sta put out a staffinga sustainable way. so another example would be, you in that the more you know, schools weave wh across schools and particularly, aren't at capacity where enrollment. it means spreading those counsers thin. and, ag can afford based on our enrollment. and so and this is

what we'll be demonstrating how we model that when i say like year then year in year what you caeople will know what they can count our schools will k okay, same topic or a different one. okayemp. next. i haven't forgotten, so two things.eecond is reading deck, you, you name multiple factorsgnment would be really helpful is being able to confidently say changing with those ten factors that are driving thisas a of this resource alignment one example would be in our current nuy to of schools, w than 14,000 more students than we have now. is will not have 14,000 extra seats after this resource alignment initiative is done? if so what's that rationale and that? if not, what's the rationale for that? right. so i think thif the driving factors for where we are now. but i think why helpful in the future the whatever plan comes outhat you've named here as one of the driving factors i here is, youissioner wiseman ward, back on the presen deck, named $103 million in, reduced central office staff in the slide before w

cutting measure. is there the status of truly reorganize the way i which students, versus just saying that cutszg are leading to cost saving measures that will thenation? i think it's another angle of asking which we're operating as a district also planning to be current o rather, our future portfolio, as it stands today we're not structure. does that make sense yes. so and i'm try to so we have one example in response to that. we actually just postedated organizational chart. and you're ee last year w superintendent of schools and an associate superintendent of educational services. now we just have a senior associate superintendent educati services, doctor, carlene aguilera. ford an elimination of a cost position that will realize cost savings. but the streg that posiimes we had people left, we filled positions, isat what we've also function? and commi÷ussioners services like currnstruction connected to whur school leadership divi under one divisiond really reorganizing

that division so th leaders cross-disciplinary, supporting schools. so car an. and they need to be working together a lot more closely to meet the goal. members in those two departments, we're trying to to be more coherent and organized. and so that's, that's that's what you you know, that's what you youe reflected in t 't know if that but that's that's where we're going to again, not just just serve our schools better from the central office. i, i appreciate that.about how how moves enhance then the services thatay future is i think that's somewhat the connection measures that are takingiú place that connection is helpful to be explicit on think, i we heard as is justty of school closures sometimes masks that conversationd á] that are helpful. and i think will enhance. and also what are we losing. right. because there are't be happening, like around college and career he past because we have fewer staff. but again, we're@yol needs are. on. okay heard was talkinow this current initiative feels really rund it's sort of reflected, i think i have in front

of me becausehifhhs sort of building up the idea that the alignment initiative and closing schools is going to fix a lot of these io here is that many of ition, a that is pretty demoralizing, with our school there. it's this it. there's no anajlysis talking about how not onlyol but then how are we going to preventit in the future, our schools to be adapting with the system as welling them is going to solthn there's no analysis to go along with it is hong these changes that the school closures because there's no explanation to that here.n to evolve. we don't find ourselves back in we have than to the facilities yeah y whole all of them. right. okay yeahink this is helpful also, one just to able to when we say we want to bee getting all this informati so we do have a conditions we call it our facilitiesx nt you know, how the range of

conditions in which our i mean, you've experience as a student. and or conditioned and better conditioned buildings. right w haveter plan. i don't think not clear the connection thatg back to commissioner was commissioner kim's point as we plan and for you as commissioners, because you represent thetand is saying you know it's really how i the community convinced that longdistrict this is going to help us? so i'm the evidence behind somech in different places,t them very accessible. yeah. 100%, beca this on here. there's ten of them that all need and then also we have this discussion is also open tow-. can can we holdy. we'll come back to ite we can about that one as well. yeah. okay because i want to follow and i don't know if, down there i want to get down there too, bu quickly follow up just onound how are we notgain, some people have made the argument that has been shown in other places to be true, that closing schools leads we closed some schools and then families. it leave the district then, you know, here, are six, seven years, closing more schools

beuse then, you know, like the evidence that that's not going to started by sayin i during my talk i mentioned the status q working. right. so what we're saying is we're then we're putting forward a plan that we think will change itnd. like that. not that it will lead it to be worse. an our lessons learned from other districts, what you should se september 18th, and ast the p this is different than other sl closure plans districts have don think we know theyoíoentybe't, en't scoring to close youat's the loopt voestablishing gpyhe status quo will , negative cycle. thankswho wants to? wellr ed atake that as aqtso i appreci, versation what we did back in and so i, i feel like we asked a lot of questions in june and stillf re here or listening be som the frustration, a lot of work to do, and just reflecting thebility, trust, communication that'sd, by making eye contact because we wereto eye contact can be an. there's a lot of kids who can't who i can't. eye c

now, okay. strategic question.z commissioner. thank you, thank yo to the initial porg of the things that need to in building trust and, talking about the things we've heard from the community a lot is the number closing to us needing to hire atononunion pition. and so one, i'm wondering if we're an the closed positions andt saving us money. but two, what are wn dollars of or not those are needed? what of the work we need to be doinganthe example i'll give is with our newnow, if you session, we have thousands of dollars of additional reading programs that are after school sites are using for reading tutoring. we just bou curriculum and now we have that material. areke what are we doing to make sure that we're working smarter, not review going to come, so that's one. secondly as far implementing the student assignment system, making sure , president alexander, we need to the racist policies place in the tndx done a whole l a lot of our communities. you know,

we svel communities where weutting we bussed students to another part of town for a program. blanketly say, we're going to're going to focus on those racist policies our overall analys and making sure that if we we're actually putting the resources into the neighborhoods so they don't spend half their day traveling same for families, that was the whole reason. sorry then i'tone more thing, an but i want to get that. i thinkha miss you so i'll put a no, because that's a really i just want to hear the it. and to follow in student assignment system redesign policy was passed, the parent advisory committee, the afric district of eng the spedion comm wrote specifically for that the underlying discrepancies ds our city. so until we do that and those schools, we're just perpetuating more racism and more discrepant i want to see where that is part of this workoof7 if we're going to force families into zones. so t how does this plan can youfinish that

statement? just maksw is really really important. and i want to make sure it gets gosh, let's see if i can paraphrase that that ted talk, the past and making sure that we to as part of the new assignment policy? does that cover it? that was a does that make sense, yes. okay, i mean share about the connection between the our developing of a think i'm going to just take that as a question that again like, this is what the board is asking to know, to be able plan that they will believe will support improving students know that if we're changing and having schools go toy live, if they live in an area at at been invested in in the kind of programs andwill help our students, what's the plan to address start i'm not going to give a complete answer now, but that does start in and budget plan that we put forward. thatw of funds based on student, so kind of noted that that will need the, when the final plan comes forward, secondly, the middle, but i want to go backormer

pr mahtomedi credit for pushingntability around contr i know you knoware thi last year in regular board meeting, a summahat have been district and then and this yearmay have noticed if you if you like, we have a new contract abstrac why what what's what the contract forward. because you often have to dig in it to find out being being served. so then we're nowo analyze wh wel of ourtion to haveple, i you so just as a start from theusiness that for the contracts that we approved you know the account for 80% of the expenditures, right? so looking through and saying then what are required ones like someportation contracts and then what arenecessarily required that we pull back on. so like we pulled back heard us doinka internal leaders to lead that work. so we're not t initial analysis on it, but it's now much our contract money funds are going tod then between that there is a contracts. there is how we're investing if in neighborhoods, neighborhood schools,

what was the other one? just how are years of racist policies? basically i think you're right. you're right. more, i think that second. so i'll stop there if it comes i appreciate really appreciate commissioner kim's around if we're looking at the reorganization ofz( know, how are we going to be operating differently as a to in support of our students and our sites? my question is related to, you knowt?we result of schools, aa por you know, how will we know better educational experience for our students to at this time. understood. understand what that path forward looks like&r, status quo cannot continue. certainly we knowtional outrticularly for our black latino and pacific islan h equity gaps in the state of california so is why i'm honing in on understandinghow will the communityucfor

thin through the progress monitoring you'v doing so, we've we've shared in our progress monitoring process, when we meet the goal. and so far many times we haven't met the goal, but wes we've met them. what we did that led to that or what we to it. and where we need to change course. and a lot resources more effectively. so like we just referred to, we justç; did ouronitoring oundstction. and we saw our teachers reported, not having used data at the level thatessary for impr meaningful feedback in that way. and that's why we presented the strategy o know, that needs to be ade then also we need, you know in place. so teachers can focus on teaching again, i thi it's, it's that's why resourceligning to the goals. but really w ultimately our teachers and those who serve our student classroom and not feel stretched thin just as i say, our resources are stretched thin. we hear from teachers is to do. and the more support there's

can be on teachingng ofon ucation for our students and families, so that start with sfusd, but theyll 13, 14 years. haven't seen, necessarily aroundhe strategy or the approach around howhg is pk enrollment part of thement continuum for our education experience for our certainly, i knohere haved question is insights and plans around having thatnt and beyond? yeah.h, this is an area where we've done,f work. i mean guess related to the then if doctor aguilerasplike, programmatically. right. how are we looking at aligch our new l curriculum? h and tk studentsindergarten? so, doctor aguilera, is he there?n the meantime, through the enrollmentkn think it goes back t, families enroll in pre- tk, without really knowing end up in kindergarten. now, w

for tk so that tk they they could be in the school if we for early ed, we wantse kind of pathways and alignment. and that's again what the zonoing to pk in a know where they can go. at least a much clearer sense of where they can go again, rather thanls. even after they went to preschool. in termsticall?gy, i'll have doctor aguilera to speak to thatzj and but thank you.have doctor ford respond, i just on the enrollment piece, that san francisco unified is the city of san my anticipation that it will continue to grow. think it is absolutelye center students and around their experience with sfusd ander fragmentation between our enrollment policies or enrollment experience for fami65lies enterin our earlyed good evening.commissionersc as, expla last board meetingóh in terms of program curriculu. in those two areas.re-k w,v in the state level s of detcinct wa&p%, so o to talk

about the p when we were selecting reading, we looked at a complementary pre-k and we came to creative curriculum the two structures of how they're embedded and the alignment one of the largest curriculums for early tk curriculum, which tk is unique to california. selecting that p three alignment with literacy curriculum have instructional coaches likedoa said at all of our early ed sites, including our elementary tk, and we're really looking at what professional have preschool, tk and, having those conversati curriculum to reallha thatndergarten readiness. when all of our childretashow up to kindergarten, working withhat the colll of our year olds are show up to kindergarten one more thing, from view in october this year, we will be rolling out the pre-k online application, which will enableusaster enrollment service to pre-k families want to go backgus.missioner sanc"á n. i think it is a repeat of many ways, it's not a lot of new rmt in a way. also, to get the same information out over and over again, that i've heard and we've heard over and over again is

g. people feel t tranmuch only one here. that was on the board when w ten schools back in the day 20 years ago where we had just based. african american and latino frocess what you that that the information is the process isnt going forward and fee can hear everything andd at day, when we have or consolidate schools people will feel like they were notneed to feel tha sure that everybody in our community it does happen, that people haing forward. and then mycond thing i the last me the equity audit to go deeper b i'd like you what the equity audit means for this district in this process, i'm going tbout the equity audit. she's rkon this. and then. then i'll get back to feeling heard. i can go right into. thank you. good evenings, i wan to explain that the equity audit, which is being doctcor alvin pea from stanford, is based bill. so thety bill, which a california bill. so in fact, it's only applicable in califodoes is it takesdistricts proportion representation of

the underserved populations is by underserved and by program. so you take underserved population proportions the scenario of schools that you're closing does notches the proporti r and does not over represents any underserve population dramatically. and then iñu maybe as we end to that. i want to do i do want resource. i think it's in the reading deck, i'l the ot that. commissioner bogus. thank you. i don't necessarily my initial question answered are factorede're doing. looking final attached and board docs, i we break outr decisi making, just not seeing anything in there thatpractices. and hopefully someone could kind of talk aboepresented in th if it's not where it is think i'm just a little bit concerned that that isn't kind of the north the work that we're process, it feels like a l differe work ar that are involved in this are very siloed and aren't working togetheron't repr

also, just to kind said, i feel like what's in this think what the board a well as, iiefed in anticipation of this isn'tot soonñó enough. not enough decisions have been made. really, for me asoner, to take this and be mean, i being this late in selecte we felt like thisgive us the to be able to reach families, knowing that deficit that we failed to address in before we where from the state to have a haven't had to in previous years because of our reserves. and so to just emphasize that i appno that'sas we are in the process. there's not enough detail, especia comes to our higher needs students. like i would expect at this have audents , a plan support them school mergers has a negao[tive impactes these things, and i knothat you aldd are working internallyse things not being shared publicly really shakes the confidence in th proceom be transparent. and i would also commissioner, not having it makes me have lack be able to vote in support what comesuse there isn't tderstand aren't. at least i would say me as a commissioner. going into making these decisions. it makes me really, uncomfortable. i wo think, just lift up that i don't see direction to address the t we

have a structural issue with our whole district of our students properly. i in here that is addressing that. i see us takinger in going to do something, we need to do something that is going to have a lar quo is, and i will start to wrap upd also like to see a little bit more information and clarity aroundt here in the shortcomings and our leadership, our planning and everythito be infor the best success for students at that siteri what board policr=ies, what stwhere see the goa reallmitmentrning fo we h job of going about this. we haven't defined what equity means for aside the things that we're going to make as guarantees to protectes te in danger and i think that's justr the public. we're really kind of being led along with what's going to happen. and it's scary to do this, and we need to have a clear understanding from leadership about things are grounded in what a district, or ifal it's not grounded ine those things, come out abnidoted to, all the things plans, all the previous board resolutions, d going in a so we can be clear, because right now those things aren' and

it's creatainty for me as a commissioner on the board who to make decision. so i'm hoping that as we move forward, the public in every wass so that we don'tat's going to happen and kind of waiti harm our so i would st statement, would still lackpractices are reflected in what's going that is a separate process and ld somewhere else. t is not the job of board leadership to get answers to those job. so what is our job to doask these questions and to say need so that the superintendent and staff, i mean, this right? g a plan for resource alignment. that's t as quasi volunteers. we all have other jobs, and represent the community to as you justyo to roles. but to respond to that question sanchez's question. i mean, i'm not going to i hear what you're asking for you to i clearly, here's what to hear to take action. i well, are we getting anything i mean last spring when talking#es let's take what you raised as aery commissioner bogus is like how

are we centering equity in thisnd will our plan reflect re are only going to believ so i understand th is an element of without seeing the actuas been many people's experience with this district is that they say,oy, but then thethat's delivered6 or the way it's. so o the plan, here's how we reflected that think the other thing i justo what commissioner sanchez said is likeeally important in the second round engaging the communit and when we next go after the first round we i told you we had 16 communitad you know, thousands of survey responses. we had a town hall. we had committee meetings when we reflected want to be clear, like, you know, like yeah, we' trying to present a vision for the future. and didn't hear those some real more than juso$t concerns.y, t san administrations. we know there's concerns. we know there's challenges we wanted to fears that were out there about this processhq' will leadortionate impact on our most vulnerable on the screen to go back to what you're saying, l we're going to make the argument about why long term, this i bt want to not going ave an and

families, and it's going to be hard new school community. youhen you're a third grader and spent ywere goiromoted to middle school from there need to work throughx that. and i'll just go back had, was%j in elementaryraders who i'd been with since kindergarten, who were he school. they changed middle schools to seventh and we had to spend a sixth grade. they then had sixth grade we were also going through construction and had no space. but i share tha come up with a different plan for ourght sgoth graders to happen didn't happen. and we need to swow we're yo what they thought was going to happen.. still support them. and so that's what you'll that's the questions, how we altok& community and reflecting back what weyou know, like we've got it all covered. we needfacilitation note here. so commissioner. yes. so i'm little bit witf go e commis before 9:00. also y have a questht we do that ws aneo make s okay. so may circle sionern andtoll $d followildinnouncement itself, i'm on workshop prentation slidei[ september 18th announcement will be quite for families and staff, knowing tha made. i laying out site leaders central officty leaders, labor partners helpful isq9nding what cmber 18th? is it

y a ema tangibly receiving that that can look at to know what their options if the ift question right now that i think that's fine. but what i'm also something that they know what to expect stressful that day may be for some families the spirit of being clear and transparent ind not present aolio if we are all of these questions rather see us take the time deadline, helpful for fa exactly ise coming can they expect to, if that answer does not now, i think that's okay. i just i do be helpful for, for the public to be aware and for t so i'm going to have our executive director )á far. and there might be more in developmentod evening. thank you, commissioner, forra duik. i'm ex director of communications. so we multiple ways to notify diverse audiences on september 18th and a very humanizing, direct, clear andg letters directly to families schools that are aosures, merger with information expect that fall, including planning for following day the affected schools, will be dials as well to

help reach families that literacy. we'll make sure that the messages are all translated a to be the direct communication to the families we're also planning for how we're going to share this information more broadly with the community, because we know that everyone in the district inrancisco is going to going to be happening,ake sure that we share this information consistently and at the sameation directly from the school district so that it is accurateo share more details of what a o those different pieces will m look like regardi broad message as we get closer torify, day of they willl they. so we're engaging with different departments around the districhow will families and staff want to breceiving this message, updates with schools and that they can workll to give them a heads up, if that's helpful as to howll be receiving thewt it's, you know, something that people are really and we want to make sure that we're providing that informa thank you. thanks. you're up. thank time once again before nine. because like a room, i got school in the morning. so yeah, i wanted, the

tiebreaker for students at merger's closures or co-locations, and i'e having a revised system come the year after that, unfortunately i think it's a little it's a how we know the system works and that schools will merging, closings next year how lucky i've bee this system. elementary on my 90, was able to go to washington high school. i know for that to happen so qui me, and not have toool on the first day of schoolbut i know people that have,t now we're system that we already k svusd schools that same as me, went to shore elementmñ middle school waitlist to go to hoover middle school, then didn't school foai high. and the sy after we're closing our schools and we're piling on topt goes into the system and the lhat the ostudents that are affected an as well by these school closures becauset across town, which you've talked about but how can we ensure that they're ev because it's not

confirmed? it' are already in schools that aren't closing. they're not confirm how are we going to confirm a school by day one my name is lauren kohler. i'm executive all of tbe placed into a welcoming school. they will hear about thatber 18th if not on september 18t a school placement. so the tiebreaker is just for students who school other thanf÷ one that they are we know all of them will more than they prefer any other like how much into account are there same as any other kid, or is it system? it's just going to go into that list. so it's going siblings forost siblings, theyget in for round because particularly in entry grades, the ularly in largersc usually get in, using the tiebreaker system. these k after siblings. and so i think that that it nonrandom location r be much more likely than families who don't have this tiebreaker or and then as a last follow up, as it goes into that list, kid that's movin a close school, but then it goes into every

other kid that's on a placement.onfirm that they also get a spot that is in their realmryone is going to get their top three choices, but we got to make one of the schools, right? so i think it mightion that students don't get schools assigned. everybody who applies is either in a school right now, and they that school or they're givennment. many familiesery student gets a school assignment, and the school assignment process, i want to do you want to say to follow up on that because i át important point. that and kind of channeling motamedi, too, bo tt, and just illustrates it, this weekend i was at sunday streets in the ag talking to this, dad with a kid in a stroller who your child in san francisco puls? and he sa not sure the enrollment system creates so much anxiety and see if we can afford private school, but if move out of the city, even though we love it it's the public schools, it's because of the enrollment syystem is broken. and i think and the board in 2018, i system which been implemend. and i langston's point, like we're waiting. and that was my discomfort, actually. i saw this resolution, i

was so now we're being asked to endorse for another year a broken system while we go through thocess. so i think, there's logistical reasons why we may not be able to do it to the superintendent you know, to address on this slide pointed out slide 29 of t multiple factors on there is enrollmenybbtnue to decline. we're tas a given, but i'm not sure that's true. i think and have a predictable feeder pattern where peopleo be able to to this elementary school and you're going to go to this high school. like most dramatically change how public schools were viewed in the city of curious, like, as you think about this plan of again across all those levels, what degree of you have that we could actually increase enrollment if we move to these zones? is that is that of the intended outcomesmprovegh 12 so that people can build coidce and increase part of the idea here or or not. yes. but i want to go back to what both commissioner boggess fisher said and add maybe some system ry family in district wants to gol to every sc district, right, because as we said, as lang he won 6@the lottery. i mean, it's literally a lottery because he he

got into certain schools. that's thedamental problem that we face as a districtme families lottery bying into school, and they feel like they've los in this district, you know, 30% of families even going to play that lottery. i'm going tl to afford that, where they also spend a lot more money per childhaem it creates that level of anxi o the questions u if schools, how are we going to make sure that those schools arethat our families want to go to if they get rather than what's going to be lost from not having a lottery, we will still ha not going to be pure like you just get assigned to your what, because we have our k-8 ograms, we equation to say you'lre gettinghool. so we ne sure that those schools are are well resourced and families have confidence that goiand so that's why we e you've all bring forward theow particularly in neighborhoods where families haven't had confidence or that to why to the timeline. can i j?. yeah. is that, you know, we start our enrollment reasons. on, we want to know what our portfonow, we started an enrollmentess really ear for 2526, you know the materials have already our enrollment fair in october, likment system. if we did just if we already had the that in place, ybe we could

say inyou know, after this, we could start but we don't have all that in place. yeah. to, give one more comment because, like school in the places that times especially in my own family,wh has happened to my brother this time where it was the first try, wn the other side for us. and we did the math. itours get there from where we live. so he'd it's whether or not the placement is guaranteed,that plant for the student to get to at like every single day. so but here's no and this is again why we think having. because for a school to be open, it needs. so we have, you know, we havedents to all of our schools. otherwise they're not going to share ishink we can get backwe're going to we have iin, you heard how like i mean, i hear about families who get assigne a they don't want to do that. we lo and then they may not get into thet continue. but, you know but by having fewer schools to try actually then have students at schools that will havebend not be a to keep a schoolhe tthe the t s not a good o have fewer

but then we still te improved schools as well. really deep delegates and deep conversation deep conversation yk9ng ne. always welcome t commissioner weian. word gos that. i'm very gratefuld@e so i want to bring a point that, commissioner a question that i want to challenge, so if i'm if i wrote the question)= correctly, it was li how are we going to know that whate student outcomes. and i as a couple of things that you said, but one of the you referenced monitoring we can't we can't use tk back like, oops, we didn't do it. well happennitoring sessions is going to be an a improving student outc/omes. and maybe i misunderstood und expertise and you all have b this work for over a year that ssame that we there is so much that you all and cullem from hearing itnow oh, i'm hearing this differently beca thank you for all of the informat that there's a balance between much you share and not usefu have enough that we decision. and i don't know how to strike that balance. so buttion

an example, ke using a i don't know, maybe in third grs it look like visions feel student outcomes would be improved whether andchoose a student that's that's mentioned everyone is impacted, whether you are from a schoolctha tsure orar new, ne let'smple of the student that is currenenrolled in a school. that's on e list. what+@ does it look like, you know, i've spoken aboutá+uç how we're improving in a system. and i guess i j think that's when we engage with each individual dual school, you know, needing t show how they're going to get a comparableroved experience than they had the year b you know, i feel likeou asking that question. ande challenging us to so i just want to just go back to the examples i've given because i could just sawho is in a, in a in a combination class next year won't benation class. so, but i think that's helpful guidance whe thinking about what we present specifically when

we go tos the two, you know, follow up meetings like putting it in those termsst in the so if it's okay take as, as and you know, seeineeding to do that and then be able just want to second what vice president weisman ward said. and something similar. i was imagining myself as, let's a second grader who's been struggling connected to our goal around literacy, right.[w third grade literacy. and now my kid is in a to me and saying your school is going to close, and now you're goingthere'sion. how is read? that's what's going to be going through my headon that question, and especially for the most vulnerable students, as coi think i see i mean, i think that's that's som put out the support of this board. commip to i think it dovetails withy closure list is not i really want to know is. and it as well, like you mentioned it from th families expect on september 18th we can expect. right.

as a like not yest components to it. you know, like what what undertaken by what peopl account these are the level:m of details that we haven happening, who's doing for, home visits for liaisons, for additional language support for everything need for new programs for everything likeat's i about that, where is that level of planning w with in order to give our community that this is more than just pretty wordsi'm being and this is what i'm hoping we are going to get from by september 18th. all had something to say, and then are there other issues or are we. do you have another one? yeah. all good.issioner bogus. these brief. it's 915. in the nextn we tt? yes. great. let's do that. yes i jus question about kind of educational btices and just didn't feel like i heard aw, if

we could talk about it in, ilide 41 and the boe i guess, you know,h that the guardrail equity audit all those things beited, whete4re does educational bestit in, and how is that helping or gug so sorry, let me jus slide number was it again about the best practices fromw that one. yeah. wait a second. there we gothact based and, usd guardrail, one equity auditw@then you'rede how we'rer equity make sure we're not disproportionately right, right. but you're asking about like best practices io.n terms, what are we doing. are you saying best practices little bit of both where i guess i turn it off. i guess it's is. how is our process, our planng andng to executing thisn best practices and what works what i'm familiar with, with school uris the staffing and other thingse anything to doic fill up the classrooms in

there, reduce they staff at school sites, which means pe there. and at is what isis particular in this process or if it is are modifying the district improve outcomes arve stud sense. yeah, oka let me let me maybe try another way to and then again, i think this is helpful because i appreciate the way you described what typically happens. turce alignment process we named what we thought so we named some stragi based are aligned to i'm going toóh examples. so one is instructional coaching to support. right now it'sy. but lesson that process. two, our social workers support the our guardrail around serleo& child three there's around our expanded secondary like career, you pat college and career readiness. we're going to talk about this in more students in those in those kind ofgrams. and then four language eel. you know, that's to the academic outcomes t say is we put out a staffing things to be able to do well as the

other ones that we've named our thrategies are have to do that at, you know, k-12 schools that we h we can have, you know,avclerk, classroombe secondarya one counselor for ever to get us too we don't close any buildings. but the doing thisurces are, again,re not using our maintain school buildings is to maintain is provide those plans to provide those supports. what i from this conversation in the community is that that needs to be put in. in systemic terms. that needs to be put in terms, you know asked, who's a parent as is commissioner boggess, like with my understand when you're saying, you know, coaching and programs and social workers, does that mean for my child? and what does don't do this for my child at school? and that's m tç about i feel like we've made the case aboutsources too thin. but making the case, then of what it means for the child a different school. that's lik el of pushing. you're p like you pushed thatas you

said, as youre infor what you're asking for, it becomes more clearreat commissioner can i just follow, sorry. sorryng. that response. and having had this conversation i think a fewimes with this process, i appreciate the response and the intention that yo li u reand i thi dehat'sk3e id 12 throughak out kind of ourc different equity flower pieces level explanation of like what we're trying trying to transform. but i think what's missing is promises? we as a district have for a very long time talked about these things and haven't executed. and what ionisment to families, to say that we're going to ensure that we have strong, functioning are the systems we're going to put in pchecking that we're going to ensure that every studenter at the end of this process. that is going to can commit a different way than we are now. and i think that's whate have these commitmenton that's what neeoe, because if those things doing, we're got u al detoiple diha tthatem wo on that add 12th public commenterhat all schokes are to ti0.in action review of what happened with our hr probver it's been because i this think has really eroded

trust because we there are big struggles incredibly in schools and the folks in central office are working incredibly hard to address these issues, and sometimes we. right. i think what's important and what what ensure is that there"7ency and accountability. accountability doesn't mean6? to say, okay, over the cdc advishese people who were offered jobs them right? like if we can't answer that how is anád +: this next thing? so again, that's that is sort of the purpose. september 10th and hear our after action review. and i think that's can't go back learn from those mistakes. how are we moving wee doing things differently? i think again, when this comes of the superintendent has said it's going to bin to be different from other school districts across the country. so again, the plan. there's not staff and i think that there are som possibilities. not to s not to say there won't be need to be adju think i do thinkm there's progress being made. but we have to to show that transparencylity. and because that i just think th want what you just said a yes, i do. so i think

maybe i canent, you know you'sations about the flower fr about, on the on the theo the next level, the next kind of, click down so to speak, on what those approaches are going to need order for us to be successful to fulfill the wr values and our principles. becauseso trying to lift up at the fiscal committee is really trying to get an cause, getting to the root cause of how can systems, where are the what r so we can ultimately close those system gaps next question is related to the transition plan. so that' slide number'veke bit tonight about what can parentsy that the portfolio is published as well as the welcom school communitie.b(z funding amount, either both direct dollar amountred.

right. so we're we're on that now. and we'll sharedefitely share in detail about that. and i think we've a few different categories. so there's the kindestments that need to be made to make the desks, the rooms se. some of the transition activities. yeah, we are on figuring out how t , not contributing, you know limited dollars to this. but that's like logisticsng staffing, theow, activities like that there's the setting up, as i shared, like sacs meetingxtra hours, youff mtings so thatra hours for family liaisons, to help coc0 that to be aget because, yeah, it does cost right, and those are btsucke we're seeing we're going to need to invest some to make sure this goes smoothly. and i think th to understand when you do come back with that transition plan, in logistics, i think particularlyz i'm interested components that are, yo kn, ybe is the human, you know, touch staff to

provide that b ands,orward and in the be impacted by closures or mergers or, but the welcoming co school communities. so i'd to also understand in that detail around what is that going to be necessary formo before we you said earlier. yeah. moment, recognizing that week ago, i would havof the table, i just want to nk staff for your time on this work.. trustestions being asked, and with every question comes additional work that a time when we are actually reducing staffh as the impact that as on both central staff and site staff who rely on central office teams to deliv supp. cknowlwejc are at a time great financial challenge and we are tryinging that. and, incredibly challenging, and should be recognized, i think just in terms of the needs to happen over the course 1 to say that, i i heard clearly was tha we are wanting to be a board and a dis focus on student outcomes, changing and improving that, as

i've heardsa adult behaviors need to change. i think the is what are those changes that areng goi then produce outcomes for our students and theear that we can be with that to ourselves and to our, the better this will be. so i just that. thank you. yeah. and i thmissioner boggess, you may have said this but the other thing i was thinking ofthings we've done with our student outcomes and clear metrics. so back to that question ofarent in one of those schools, that's there metrics that i can look at to say, well, i should expect this for for your kid, i don more the better, and i also want tokim' staff starting with the frontline staff inls that are right you kledanges weren't told about in the budget in these are the people that deal with it taff who are working incret them and to b these plans. and we're doing a lot ofings as well. resource alignment process we're also bala overhaul our fiscal andour leadership on that committeehe we're adopting a new enterprise resource management too wh but these things, there's appeningme. and

we're trying to rebuild trust and we're tryint omes it out there, i think, again, hard work at every right. but what we do need to dois committed to accountability to transparency, now, and to saying we're going to work through to listen deeply. we're going to we're notoing to do something to meet a deadl sure we get it right. so i think that's the fundamental message let's get it rightñ, for our students, ando that. so thank you very much wayne and staff alson'e have to, you know, ifre's know, don't feel like you got to you deadline and you got to. right. so i think thaalo everyone. i feel like this was a productive discussion. it was long public for sticking with us. and to the board for engaging inain, the board now this is actually a little bit out of, right? the just process we are v resolution, the tiebreaker resolution that will probably be at the september 10th meeting unless someone unlessbut otherwise we'll consent. but then this will be the super will put this out on september 18nq agenda, until so there'l the superintendent and staff to get feedback from the communitye5 they want to make to the plan

andng back to the board insloutct you will and hope you of the engagement will be around with staff because final plan to us for consideration in november. question. comment yeah. clarification around the timeline we spent a whole lot of time tonight admiring the problem and asking a lot of e did back in june. when should we expect answers to these question we expect answers to these questions before september 18th, i about our nextpq our role in the accountability and the monitoring process before you respond, i would jsust say that is up to the respond to us. but i mean, at the end of the day in december, we're going no on their plan, right? so there's a we do have time for them to an is really about the and during that phase, we'll be hearing and listening and learning rnity largely you know to be able to ansos questions for the community andame my to reflect the values of my community and from the community. and i hear a heck of a lot of fearou need right now at this to just process

and come backov feel like september 1 at ag what the communitsays. september 18th, 19th, like, like understand the plans and how we are actu inflicting and we are authorizing as a uld like a lot more clarity abou here, actually. well, i that's well, i think my point wasn't that we don'tngage as inal commiss, you know there's not discuss it because the we want to give time and team to refine the plan. right.ur jobhe end of the daye yes ore to no. and again, wen't i mean, that is not it'sai's)r the way. that's theirjnant th+,e cofgig. you'rgi plan there.nse?s. that distinctio end of tho cough how sly. that's why i'm here that list that coneptember 18th,ss sequelen talked abouts very s ghe sequel process. right?unity in thish/x from being done and what our. so that's where i'm hoping that maybe we ourmñ just sit. that's what i'm asking for. a community engagementno that might be helpful. and in that in

th when we went out to the community, everyin one of our community meetings. i don't know you know, of the 1er of them. right. and i think, i mean, i role there. you listened, you reflected briefings or on june 25th. some of that you that. i think that's what president, that continue. and then that would continue if you want to do any other engagement, that's that. and then just the second thing is iinformation. we'll take our notes back from this. i like we i k in the no again, the three major themes we heard lastollment and transition planning and, you know connection to budget, while also, i guess i say that always overallnected to our student outcomes? but to say we are going to questions you asked will be answered on september 18th and as president alexander saidve through our process. so with all i'm saying that one you would you know how youth would make sense to show up in to the community and regular i'll let president alexander respond. if you w do consider more than that or talk to. absolutely. i mean, if that board

members want to do and engage in i mean, i think oboard office, we can think about that as we've at improve our community engagement.reour i mean that's what our board of point was more so just to say i didn't want to mislead were going to be micromanaging the details of the plan. that wasged and our job to keep this board actually, frankly, does i may say so. i think all of out there a lot in the community. at. i mean, i think we are reflecting the vision and values of the c that's what i would say in our in we that we do it right, even if it's not at this dais, we superintendent. we're talking with our briefings withnibut we could talk if we want to do something more formal. i'm certainly that's what if that's. i don't know ifink it's fair for community to us outside this dais and. it then. let's would love to talk let's do it. thank so there are no, just to so for we combine them together. so i just want to reiterate. i mean, there was good discthus can understand. langston helped pro is trying too if there if there are we'll go through our process you know, submit questions. but the reasid consent is to discuss it again, since

we had the i questions answered about it. but if there's anything that comes up we'll as you said about, on addressing anke else, it isngs 9:41 p.m. and this'( oj te >> commissioner green. c commissioner chow, present. r way up from the garage. >> wonderful. we'll ask to read the land h
