thank you >> next up it betty robertson harris. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is betty robertson harris i'm an early educator with the san francisco school district i'm a classroom teacher and currently work in the classroom with young children i'm here to be reappointed to the board. i am one of thousands of early educators that work with children in san francisco you my ask why i want to be reappoint the folks need a voice open the commission and having been working in san francisco as an educator since 1975 i feel that my experience with working with young children and their families in san francisco highly qualifies me i've worked on board in the mission and the bay area and the tenderloin and the sunshine and curling working in other district. i carry the needs and perspectives of all those children and their families with me as i educate children reggie see the needs for the folks receiving minimum pay i represent educators from ail sectors private schools private for profit and public schools, private-public and, of course, the san francisco schoo

so my preference would be to reappoint betty robertson harris i think you need to have continuity and you need independence in commissions and i know we have a letter from the united educators of san francisco and i think that having the prospective of someone a teacher in the classroom is needed it's important for this commission and in terms of the other 3 applicants their previous expressive and either one of them would do is a great job so i don't want to single out anyone they were all expressive to me so that's where i am. >> thank you supervisor tang. >> thank you, supervisors and thanks to everyone that applied they all bring a great different kind of dpraugd background to the table thank you for taking the time to want to serve i see that as important as i've said i'm a product of the education system i grew up in 9 neighborhood and value all the serves i've received with that said, i'm happy to support supervisor yee and appointing dr. gibb sob as the former promise of junior i also was intrigued by dr. harris you work and serve in a community i'd love to have that seat at t
