we have wonderful, wonderful art galleries on the sfusd website.ght now, we have student panels that were just convened last night. we have special olympics doing presentations all aaround inclusion. so for this to have happened this week, there needs to be some apologies. >> thank you. >> on a side note, i would also like to thank commissioner cook and commissioner norton for all of their years of commitment to students and for continuing, even up until the very last in this crazy pandemic. but i'd also like to bring attention to commissioner norton being our biggest special education advocate, and i'd like to all to commit to keeping special education in the forefront, if nothing more than to honor commissioner norton's work. >> thank you. hello, eusenia. >> hello. hi. my name is eusenia. i'm sorry. that's my [inaudible] and i want to thank you all for coming to [inaudible] and i'm going to read the third and final part of the coleman education equity framework for reopening san francisco. so right now -- sorry. an equity framework to reopen must

sfusd parent of a middle schooler. i want to ask that the board send this item back for some revision. this item was introduced at the exact moment that the board of education was hearing the school district's reopening schools plan. it feels to me that resolution that ask the school district to have a return to school plan feels a little bit redundant and unnecessary. i do feel like the board can have a resolution that calls for some concrete support that our kids need and will be going back in january as well as upper grades who will still be learning from home. things like ventilation and mental health staff and improved technologies, working from home. i hope you'll consider holding off on this little bit longer, giving us specific dollar amount and time commitment, making board of supervisors themselves do some volunteering in school. we'll need help the first couple of weeks back. thank you so much for your time. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. we have 13 in the queue ready to provide comment and 31 listen

has operated in san francisco under the authorization of sfusd since 2 2004. the sfusd staff review of the renewal petition was done -- >> president sanchez, did you open the public hearing? i just want to make sure we do it correctly. >> i did not, but i've been made aware -- >> yeah, you can decide. >> i know, but i just -- i consider it opened. >> thank you. i apologize, commissioners. that's one of the [inaudible] that we need to follow as a result of recent legislation. >> okay. by my saying that, does that make it so? >> it makes it so. >> okay. continue, mr. davis. >> thank you. so the -- this renewal petition was reviewed under a.b. 1505, which means on the state dashboard, it generally falls in the yellow zone. it appears that the blue and green are the best, and the orange and red are the worst. since it's a middle charter, the authorizer may grant renewal. further, the review shall look at the evidence that the charter school has achieved measurable increases in academic achievement as defined by at least one year's progress for each year in school

where we would like to build on the resolution that the board sent to sfusd urging them to provide a more comprehensive return to school plan. i think that was an important message. we certainly don't have power nor do we want to have power over the unified school district. we do have the power to support and we do have the power to support activity that foster community relationships. i'm introducing a resolution today that urges the board to work with the san francisco unified district by providing resources if allowable under the current health order to be allowed for their families relatedly to graduation. like to work with the joint school committee, select committee. we've had conversations with the department of human rights commission, public health, school board, school board members themselves, sfusd student advisory board and parent advisory council, how we can work with them to come up with an item i listed allowable under the health order that would allow for and support seniors in their 2021 year. i can't even imagine being a senior this year and not being able to parti

that's been true since i started working in sfusd in 1996. this unique to sfusd.us underserving black students, many immigrants, students with disabilities, latinx, p. as one spanish-speaking mom said to me, we have a promise of equity and we need to keep the promise. as we think about reopening in person, as soon as we safely can, we also need to be thinking about what changes we need to make, how we can reimagine and really reenvision our public schools. and one key area we definitely need to address is resources. sfusd spends half per student per year what new york spends. a third of what our private schools spend. here in the wealthiest cities in the world, are we willing to spend our public schools to match the high expectations that we put on them, right. so the expectations should be high. and we need to keep them high and match them with adequate resources. also within the district, we need to make sure that we're allocating our resources properly. there's good folks working there, but a communication gap between the families. we're going to trust our teac

i am a san francisco resident and a parent of a sfusd second grader and an artist and a president of the adjunct faculty meeting. we are here because philanthropists failed to follow through on the $19 million for the expangz. they gambled on a loan, and the livelihoods of its community members. their failure to follow through on this promise for our students and faculty, they were forced to shoulder the burden. now they want to remove and sell a landmark work of art to compensate for their shortfall. this needs to be stopped and the site must be protected from their negligence. students who have high loans and faculty have had staggering salaries and the part-time positions year after year. and the residents had (indiscernible) has been a loss for san francisco's art community. we have multimillion dollar hole in an institution of learning. gutting the community that has helped to been around for 150 years. and someone should really investigate that. they laid off 300 students and staff and now the removal and sale of this monumental work of art. the mural is a testament to the purp

sfusd teacher and mt member. as a daily cyclist and normal times street commuter and i find the watering down of bike safety extremely regrettable to do better in terms of cycling safety. and sharos do not work. market bike lanes are the minimum we need in capacity. mission bike lanes are also a must do column as far as i am concerned. losing the lanes on market betrays the trust of the cyclist community and makes the former chair's declaration and i urge m.t.a. to correct course. the ban on private vehicles is lapse in the nonenforcement and the street stay is exceedingly dangerous. m.t.a. can and must do better. thank you. >> you have eight questions remaining. >> all jokes aside this, plan is a complete joke. it's not supported by anybody. as peter strauss and david pillpal said, why bother at this point? it is opened by taxi drivers, opposed by pedestrians, opened by bike operatetors, and opposed by transit rideers. if it's not going to deliver any of the benefits, it will slow down transit and make it conges

pandemic recovery strategies for schools and academic success services for students and families in sfusd. as we approach the one year anniversary that our schools were forced to close because of covid, we have to take the moment of crisis and turn it into an opportunity to make our public school system even better. the pandemic has caused many students to fall behind in their academic achievement and leaving because of the expense of living in our city or for private schools. under the ordinance, the work group will meet for six months and charged with developing a vision and plan based on best practices locally and around the country to remediate the educational loss that students suffered under distance learning and enhance and grow the community schools model that leverages community partnerships for wrap around services for families as well as bring strong enrichment programs to every school. it will be made up of 10 voting members including represents from the board of education, and united educators of san francisco, san francisco unified school district parent, youth service provi

actually, the most out of all sfusd schools and a high percentage of young people that are experiencing trauma. as you guys know, we only recently got a nurse, and through a community push, we were able to get a second social worker just to have one at each of our campuses, middle school, second, and elementary. this is one of the only ways we had to help our students be successful, especially during the pandemic. i urge you to continue the ucsf hearts program, especially during the pandemic when people are experiencing so much trauma. thank you so much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. are there any other callers in the queue? >> operator: mr. chair, that completes public comment. >> supervisor haney: thank you. i want to thank all the people who called in that are part of this school and program and the huge importance of this. i think sometimes we don't think of soma as a neighborhood that has a lot of children, but it absolutely does, and there is tremendous need. bessie carmichael has the highest percentage of students that are experiencing homelessness. many also experience

i'm speaking with relation to the $2 million gift, and sfusd would really like to thank and appreciate alexandria real estate for the future contribution to mission bay schools. the mission bay school was part of the original redevelopment plan of mission bay, and an elementary school is part of a complete neighborhood, and all the housing development would be contributing to a lot of enrollment growth, and so that's why we are planning for a 500-student elementary student and -- across the street from the proposed development. so again, we're really excited about this endowment for the campus and the alignment around science and innovation. we're looking forward to partnering and appreciate the fact that we're going to have such a wonderful neighbor in mission bay, so thank you again to supervisor haney for your leadership, and alexandria for the commitment of this generous gift, and that concludes my public comment. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. okay. we have three callers in the queue. operations, let's hear from the next caller, please. welcome, caller.
