>> they are building a spanish emergen-- immersion program. the key question -- we have been having community conversations over the last month and a half with different city and parent organizations sharing the policy from work and getting feedback. one of the key questions we get is when will people know about the routes for 2011-2012. our goal is to have by mid- january the vision for 2013-2014 school year developed. the approach we are taking is the board policy framework, the questions, the data will help us develop a sense of which schools from which areas of the city should have services. from that, we will be able to map backwards to figure out -- if that is where we are going to be in 2013, what should the changes for 11-12 look like? we are proposing that most changes would occur in year two, which is 2012-2013, with incremental change happening in the first year. that is designed to maximize the lead time for families to have an understanding of what transportation services will be available. the graph showed earlier -- you can see

you were working with several other kinds of objects immersed in different fluids. could you talk a little bit about the series itself? well, actually, i had begun working with, specifically, milk and blood and later went on to piss. but at first, the fluids were being used in a very abstract way. you know, sort of, you know, using them as pure color or pigment in the same way an artist would use paint, you know. but ultimately, i decided to refer it to some sort of representation within the fluids. and piss christ was the first object, the first photograph created where i submerged an object in the urine. and religion had been an important theme in my work before the fluid images began, so it was just a matter of two different directions coming together in one image. (anderson) but just to follow up, this is pretty standard stuff in the history of christianity, in christian iconography, the use of the body, the use of fluids in the representation. is that something you were drawing from? is that part of it? well, i remember, as a kid, going to the met when i was 12

i think that was not the case when other candidates were put forward, with, i think, immersed -- most earnestness. president chiu: supervisor alioto-pier? supervisor alioto-pier: this is the first time that we as a body have had a conversation about in mr. mayor and the prospects of interim mayor, so the idea that there were alliances that were in place that have now shifted is a little misconstrued, considering this is the fact that this is the first time we have had this public dialogue. what i would like to remind all of us is what we're doing here tonight is somewhat symbolic and note we have a mayor of san francisco. that mayor of san francisco has not left the position. he is now claiming to do so until the board is in place, so ultimately, it looks like, and from the advice we have gotten from counsel, really what this board does is more of a statement to the next board what we would like. it does not mean that this is what the next board will do, and so let's not forget that when supervisor campos says that he has not had conversations with mr.. lee, that opportunity will be a

transportation, questions about how we serve english lerner students, and how we strengthen our dual immersionrograms and are pathways and those in the bilingual programs or those who have not been any kind of language program at all, how after-school programs -- is this still working? ok. how after school programs serve middle school students, issues about restorative justice and school climate and how all of that word in middle school, and looking at how students in middle school are prepared to meet the new graduation requirements, so all of those things are connected. that is the redesign process, in we are really excited about thinking about how to of conversations about those topics and to share the information across the departments who are working on those, so we're in the process of what kind of community engagement we can conduct around these issues. we have to look at the time line and what information we want to make sure we bring to families and to give useful information from those conversations to help district staff in shaping what you're doing. we also think it is a really gre

those issues could include changes in special education services, looking at language pathways, dual immersion pathways, but others, to note -- others, too. talking about after-school programs and in curriculum issues, like enrichment programs, more or change, and preparing students to meet the new graduation requirements, so we are thinking that those would be really important topics for parents given the experience we have had with conversations in the past, and then we know some communities will really want to focus on how the student assignment process would work, so we are looking at trying to make as many of these small- group conversations happened in all of the forums, but there might be fewer of them, or there might be different issues because of special programs or things happening at a given school. commissioner: so are you suggesting that the way that it would work is that the group would break out according to what job they were interested in discussing? >> yes. commissioner: ok, i like that better. breaking up into smaller groups is kind of hit or miss. that is actually a great i

listening to marcus and emma's story is like being immersed in the planet's seas and taking the time to look. in the mediterranean alone there are three million tons of garbage drifting around and eighty percent of it is plastic. we don't think about it but the sea bed wasn't always covered with these or from an identifiable drifting object. we're really the third generation to make massive use of plastics. all this is the result of sixty years of consumption. we've let plastic colonize the sea. on the surface. a few meters down. and at the depths of one thousand meters. with all of this material will be down here for ages especially where it's really data there's much less oxygen and no light whatsoever i mean yours are factors which help break down the plastic sort of stuff will be around for a few hundred years and have to see a kind of loser dreams when you go really deep for the one thousand meters for instance mr you imagine something mysterious and completely different and also when you get down there and you see piles of plastic and rubbish it's just awful that was i was just

for example, in early january, we are meeting with the dual immersion parents, for parents of children with disabilities, and others. overall, we have five goals for community engagement. the first is to inform the community about plans for creating k-8 pathways. the second is to shake the system through community discussions. the third is to increase middle school quality for all students. the fourth is for implementation of the new student assignment system, and finally is to build trust for the district and board of education through improved communication. commissioner: can i ask a question? i am interested particularly in what you are meeting with eastern and advisory council. >> it has been the pac's of four years to strengthen these guys, so i met with them i think last week, to lead the know about the ideas for changing middle school assignment in the k-8 pathways, and we want to let them know what we are working on. them know what we are working on.
