education. as we have commented, multiple times, and provided our policy statements on charter schools on multiple occasions. the community advisory committee for special education has very grave concerns about schools that select to be part of the el dorado cell up when they are physically located here in san francisco. it seems to us, a choice to remove parent feedback, parent input, parent oversight from the process, and make it difficult for families to engage in their children receiving services. we are also very concerned about a school that does not provide classes in the whole continuum of support and services that will automatically limit the number of students and types of students can be served at the school. we think it is completely inequitable, and we would also encourage the new school to expand your model, and we would welcome you to consider membership in the san francisco unified school district. thank you. >> thank you. >> can i hear a motion to second >> this proposal is referred for action at the next board meeting. >> proposals for immediate action and suspension of rules. we have resolution 199-1081

yehudis is very pro—relationships and sex education, but says that many within the community are not, orthodox schools, who don't want to teach it. what are your concerns if children, pupils don't get this kind of education? i think that the children who need sex and relationship education the most are the children whose parents or the schools that they go to are trying to deny it to them. those are the children who are likely to be in an environment where they can't speak up if they're being abused. i can't really comment on other communities, but i know that within my community there are people who want children to remain largely ignorant about sex and relationships because they want them to carry on with the traditional way in which they're married at a very early age, without much knowledge about what they're getting into. other people might argue that it's simply people whose religion doesn't accept homosexuality, for example, not wanting their children taught things they don't believe at home. i don't think anybody doesn't believe that homosexuality exists. they might think that

community screening. it's actually a good way for the youth to kind of educate the community on what they learn but also to, you know, make sure they're aware of the resources. so a lot of times from there, we kind of get, you know, the direct feedback from people on kind of just, you know, how it helped them or even finding out these resources so they can give to other people that they know about. robert: kelly, what would you like to see? what direction would you like to see it go into now? kelly: i would definitely want to make it larger and meaning programs at school maybe that address this problem, just because i feel like schools and these places don't address that problem. it's neglected. robert: yeah, yeah. is that gonna be possible, howard? howard: i think so, absolutely. robert: there's a lot of demand, but a lot of pressure on trying to keep a program that's going, huh? howard: yeah. robert: all right, well, congratulations though. it's a very interesting unique approach, all right. well, next, david bustamante will join us. he is a familiar name and face for bay area music fans who was a member

we still need to educate families and communities on the importance of the vaccines. our enemy is the disease. the way we combat this enemy is by education and vaccination. thank you. [applause] so now you've learned a little bit about measles. i'm going to quickly set the scene about the role of the health department and the different branches of government. i should have also said we are going to hold questions until the end but we will have time at the end. local health departments on the fronwere onthe front lines prevd responding to outbreaks. they keep communities healthy and safe and get the communities healthier and safer support example in the outbreak they investigate every case in you will hear more about this and what happened on the ground in new york city and la county. they have legal authority for the orders done in both cases. they look to ensure the community is sufficiently vaccinated and they provide the vaccine when necessary. and they also provide simple and accurate messaging on the vaccination and work with part is to do so which is an important

lecturer at lancaster university in england he says the use of social media to be vital in educating communities about vaccinations. when we had 84 notify deaths in the european union last year from measles and historically death rates for much higher in the prefix nation is in 1980 there were 2 and a half 1000000 deaths worldwide from for measles and that's come right down into the 10s of thousands no largely as a result of vaccination campaigns that have been rolled oats saw there's no doubt that the statistics are on the side of the of the vaccines and the case for vaccination is or is overwhelmingly compelling but the problem is that we're finding it difficult to get that message out on the ground and vaccines conference is taking place at the moment in belgium that the u.s. surgeon general talked about how the measles outbreak in new york had been counteracted and he emphasized that it was through dealing with local community leaders and getting the message out to people who are trusted in in the affected communities that they were able to get more people to take up the measles vaccine and

when we go out to these communities and i see this in my district and we look at taking parking spaces away for daylighting. a lot of times we have push back. we need to educate the community why we are doing this. when you talk about taking a parking space away at an intersection and explain because actually spending $200,000 for a bulb out is so important, i think they start to understand. i feel like with that community engagement and having the public pedestrian safety committee there to help us with that kind of language and outreach and engagement and how we should be doing it is really important. i want to thank everyone for participating. this is alive and death situation. >> chair mar: thank you, supervisor brown. in terms of action on this, we have a resolution with the board responses. there was just one finding and one recommendation in the civil grand jury report that the board is required to respond to. i shared draft language for the resolution for the response with supervisor brown, i want to read it for the record. first regarding finding number 7, that the board of supervisors reports to the pr presiding jude that they disagree with finding

typically these underresourced schools educate first-time college attendee, many of whom hail from impoverished communs. the funding that supports minority-serving institutions is the only program authorized in the higher education act that expires if not re-authorized this year. accordingly, if congress fails to pass the bill by september 30, these historic institutions will suffer a $255 million shortfall, causing lost jobs, lost opportunities, and diminished financial support for students across the country. members of this body speak glowly about the roles of hbcu's an other minority-serving institutions and today we have an opportunity to back those words with action. the future act, which is fully paid for, preserves vital investments in minority-serving institutions as well as the students and communities they serve. i encourage all my colleagues to support this legislation and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from north carolina, mrs. adams, reserves the balance of her time the gentleman from north car

i am the past chair of the community advisory committee for special education who was to go next. we would have started an hour ago. we also have children. in the optics of us being pushed back as the parent of a student with iep getting ready to talk being pushed out of the way for a charter school, that doesn't feel good. it really doesn't. but having said that, i am here a bunch of new school families reached to talk to them and share their stories. i was grateful. i heard great things about new school. two teachers in lower grades one and a half in upper grades. resources fantastic and there are a lot of policies and procedures and board resolutions to do the same thing in s.f.u.s.d. schools. it is all about resources. we would love to be more like new school and many of the schools that are not. it comes down to resources, and when you have $11,000 per student being drawn to go a charter school, that reduces what s.f.u.s.d. can do to implement resolutions and policies in all schools. as the parent of my schoolers and middle schoolers and college kids. the fear of sending a ch
