one interesting data point that staff brought forward was the research report done by johns hopkins that stated that having at least one black teacher in third through fifth grade reduced black students probability of dropping out of school by up to 39%, and increases interest in pursuing college by 29%. so, you know, staff is looking at all the latest research related to the powerful impact diversity has on hiring teachers and that's top of mind as they are looking to recruit for this upcoming year. there's a number of new initiatives and existing initiatives, and so it was, you know, a very thorough overview of that. we finally got an update related to classifying staff. >> thank you. commissioner walton? >> just a question for deputy superintendent lee, and you don't have to necessarily answer now, but as we talk about basic aid districts, if you could explain to me -- and again, we don't have to do this now -- how san francisco doesn't -- doesn't qualify when we're talking about property taxes having to meet our exceed the lcsf allotment. and i don't know if you can explain that now,
