two things you should know about carver. last year, carter had a new principle come in, after having come to the board to ask for an investigation of a principle that was hired because of the sig implementation process. one of the things that was the hardest to witness for the school to decide was which teacher was going to leave. 65% of the teachers at harvard left last year. teachers said goodbye to students at the end of the year that they have had relationships with for five or seven years before. if you do tonight vote to not skip these teachers, how are you going to explain this to the communities you have told to trust you? you continually say you are going to keep your promises. tonight, if you do not skip these teachers, you will be breaking their promise at the worst possible time for these schools. >> good evening, board members and superintendent garcia.

i have a grandson who just got suspended from george washington carver. he's kindergarten. he's 5 years old. he has the -- the education of a 2 -- 2nd. he can do 2nd grade work. he speaks chinese. he speaks german and he also speaks spainish and remind you he's 5 years old. i can't say his name. i was told not to say his name. they put him in second grade. a teacher named mrs. mcgee was his teacher. he was getting good work. they put him in the second grade. he was performing well. they put him back into kindergarten. he is not performing because he knows his work in kindergarten. we want you to teach our kids the once that are advanced, bring them up to second grade but we want to make sure that black history is taught in our schools and that the teachers are prepared to teach black history. that is the reason a lot of our young people are not going to san francisco public schools are fallen off because they do not learn anything about themselves. >> thank you very much. two minutes are up. thank you.

i am a parent of a student at george washington carver. research has shown that one of the largest negative factors in lower test scores is teacher turnover. the teachers we have chose to be here. other teachers have chosen to leave. don't our children deserve teachers who want to work and be at our school? so many of the students in zone 6 face, or significant environmental challenges. they find our school to be a sanctuary. with so many of our teachers being at risk of layoff, the strong relationships will be destroyed. we have to spend tremendous money on training the staff, because we have to teach a challenge in population. they have made great strides. we will not
