i attend lowell high school. since last week, students have been planning to say good-bye to their favorite teachers. this budget cut will be numbers on the paper. in reality this budget cut will devastate relations between students and teachers alike. you guys will be destroying communities. new teachers we have now brings us new fresh perspective. i'm concerned about -- [ indiscernible ] he has advocated for us and helped us through difficult time. if we move him we will be devastated. please vote no on this. >> caller: my name is carmen. these students you are proposing will remove elective classes, possibly art and orchestra. my favorite classes. if you remove the classes that will help us get there, you're cutting off our ambitions and limiting our opportunities to have successful futures. orchestra has been part of my life for six years. i love the class so much. part of that is my teacher is super awesome and has made such a positive impact in my life in her first couple of months of teaching. these classe

kristen: i want to ask quickly about lowell high school. the san francisco school board now has three new members. there may be new priorities, taking a look again at the admission process. the old board wanted a lottery based process and people are wondering if merit will come back. i am wondering if you have a thought on that. >> i advocated to keep the lowell merit-based admissions policy two years ago and i stand by that. i believe the way the school board handled their decision was not right. they did not do it with any public deliberation, very little public process. they did it in the middle of the pandemic, pulling the rug out from many students who have been working towards lowell for many years. i understand the goals of more diversity. there is a way to do it without throwing out the merit-based admissions policy. they should look at reinstating it. a court has spoken that the way they did the change was incorrect, but i think it should be kept. i think we should keep it and figure out a way to increase diversity at lowell so mor

budget cut to lowell. this cut totally $3.6 million is much more severe than the 9% cuts being made at every other single school in the district. due to the a.p. funding cuts, lowell's budget was reduced by 21%. lowell already receives the lowest amount per student in the district. based on way school formula. lowell educates 18% of all sfusd high school students. more than any other school. please support principal dominguez's request of $2 million in funding to make lowell's cuts equitable with other school sites. karen thomas. that was the five minutes. >> president lam: i want to recognize that we have received e-mails for public comment. these comments have been shared with the board members and they are available for the public and hard copy. they will be appended to the minutes. this will conclude public comment for special order of business and item number two. i like to open up for broader discussion with commissioners and superintendent. commissioner alexander? >> commissioner alexander: thank s

i don't know, but i there are some issues at lowell. i think that is a separate issue. that issue needs to be addressed independently of merit. >> what about -- and i realize it may be not on the front burner, but a later conversation. many parents brought up if you will try and bring back algebra to eighth grade, which became not something the district did anymore after 2014. >> my sons were in eighth grade after that decision. they did not take algebra. they took whatever math was in its place. i think they are fine. i don't have an opinion one way or another until i go into the matter in more detail. >> after a contentious recall, do you fear there might be opposition to you or the board before you get down to work? >> the reason for the recall is everybody wanted the board to focus on education of our kids and not play politics. i hope the people against the recall don't want politics instead of education. i think they just want what is good for the students. let's start new with at least half new people on the board who are there for education. all those against th

lowell, it's great to have you with us for the entire hour.hen we think about this tech leadership, it's kind of amazing what we've seen in the last few months especially when you take a look at the top ten companies by market cap. you see that meta's actually in danger of falling out of that. you see the company ramp up in terms of its micro cap are we seeing microsoft losing its leadership, and what are the implications of that >> i liked dom showing that we have the faang as an index i think it's time to do something that jim clark's -- i'm going to go back in time a little bit he said there's two ways to make money, bundle and unbundle i think it's time to unbundle faang. we need to start focusing on the fundamentals of each of the businesses that comprise that index. and, you know, personally, i like apple a lot i think apple is extremely well positioned to return back to the $3 trillion market cap and achieve over potentially $200 a share. i think the fact that there's a massive product upgrade cycle and the path is the worst of the supp

it would help with lowell high school as you mentioned increase diversity and equity at lowell to allow more accessibility from the southeast neighborhoods. as a dad of high schooler, i appreciate your leadership and your direct engagement with our government. look forward to working with you guys this year on implementing and addressing all these important issues. thank you. >> chair haney: i absolutely agree. i appreciate your leadership and some of the things that you put forward have been important to us. we will advocate for but also some other ones you flagged, i know number of times, i would just put on the record that i hope that we can at some point deal with this issue of stipends for commissioners. this is something that comes up again and again. if you want to make sure that young people can serve and that we can have sustainability around it, it's something that's critical. i hope that's something that the budget committee looks at and some sort of pilot around it or what not. i want to flag that really specific recommendation. i wanted to ask question kind of about youth c

it looks to me like the whole school board is throwing high schools under the bus, not just lowell, but also rotc programs, japanese language and i think that's very unfortunate and it seems to also extend to the union. the union seems to be throwing their own teachers under the bus for 30 pieces of silver that goes to the people who remain working. so a lot of corruption is being exposed tonight, but at least we know and we will vote appropriately in the next election for you all. good night. >> noel. >> caller: can you hear me? >> yes. >> caller: i am a senior at galleleo high school and i would like to focus on how this is the second shutdown we're facing in the past three, four years. we only got back in fall of 2019 and we didn't get a full year until we finally got back this fall and now we're immediately facing another shutdown. multiple programs other jrtcs and other programs are like wise facing these issues of not being able to get up their proper enrollment numbers simply because we're unable to show case our own program and haven't been able to pass down tradition, pass down

and then that lowell is going to swing just to the south of the bay area. so that could give rise.me thunderstorms around the bay area, the heaviest rainfall likely with the system. probably santa cruz mountains on southward. all right. let's take you through time to take a look at it. as we head into saturday, looks like a decent day. we'll see some mid to high level clouds get that patchy fog along the coastline. sunday. things begin to change into the afternoon. here we go. clouds roll in. that looks pretty impressive right now as it begins. come on shore late in the day. hopefully we'll get a batch of rain rolling through and through the evening hours 2 and then looks like the core. that low is still swinging off the coastline. and that's when that instability comes in. the atmosphere and could spark some thunderstorms. you can see heavier storms into the santa cruz mountains. parts of the south bay, but all told we might get a decent amount of rain. now, this may be the most we've seen since the beginning of january. all right. here we are over the next few nice day tomorrow.

even worse because i asked worse than the american was alicia, who are the she was out of home to lowell. i'm while he asked learned, you know, though it was message, you know? yeah. is it a country me? yeah, no more dollars for another. he asked, don't you know any one from the south? not sure. iraqis. i said i was serious. i didn't know anything about she'll of martha. tully. she ashley lamar ah, the shears him when arrangement with the us occupiers. she are. politicians returned from exile and joined the government. even the highly popular ayatollah, it's donnie, the nation's most senior shia authority plays the new iraq game. the grand ayatollah stoney is a universally respected figure in a universally influential figure, he has exercised his influence, sometimes in very critical and very impressive way. it has been about serving the people of iraq. it was, is been about combating corruption. it has been about improving the provision of basic services by government to the people and so forth and a support for the democratic process. but another shia cleric categorically rejects the n

the next treeplanting is set for april 9 at lowell high school. snowy ones, ski resorts that rely on snowmaking to stay open as long as possible are looking toward more efficient ways to keep their industry alive. traditional air water guns require an employee to manually turn them on, but fan guns are a newer, more efficient technology that uses less energy and no manual labor. ski resorts say the fan guns make more better quality snow. northstar says there is also another benefit. >> we don't want to use more energy. we want to reduce our energy consumption. that is a big one when we think about our future in sustainability and how we want to move forward. dion: northstar says it currently uses about 50 fan guns and 250 air water guns to keep those slopes open. it is time, as a reminder, to spring forward. we enter daylight savings time overnight, meaning less sunlight in the morning and more of it in the evening. also, don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before bed, if you still have a clock or a watch that does not reset itself. it i

of my favorite books of all time jane eyre by charlotte bronte, you know early on in the book the lowell school that she's at they suffer through typhus and one of the things that they blame it on this big typhus outbreak at this this school for you know poor young girls is they blame it on miasma or basically the pestilent air that's this fog-born sort of dirty air from the school being in this very sort of wet boggy site so that ended up becoming part of our germ theory chapter, which is you know, how we realize that viruses and parasites and bacteria are actually the reasons for why we have a lot of the diseases in this book. um, but going, you know going back to also our early chapters. so my first chapter was on the plague, which i thought was apt because i think the plague the word itself is pretty much synonymous with pandemic and writing that chapter was a real revelation for me because i was unaware i always thought of the plague as being middle ages. it didn't know about all these huge pandemics that it happened throughout time, but what was really fascinating for me was findin

facing the district from budget deficits to equity gaps to the controversy over admissions policies at lowell high school. 21 candidates answered the questions, but people voted for their favorites. the top 11 vote getters were submitted to the mayor. he is one of them. >> i like that they took at the next way and we have done the recall, but now who will actually go into the seat and the people who are going and how will they represent students first? >> reporter: often in san francisco politics compositions like school board members have been seen to a stepping stone to higher offices and are frequently backed by powerful political groups in the city, but the organizers here say those thrown out were pursuing their own agendas and not listening to the people. they don't want that to happen again. >> this is really a wake up call i hope saying please don't forget that your first and only job is to serve the people who elected you and that is it. nothing else should matter. >> reporter: they don't have to be on the list to select and they said they want the replacements to be in it for the ri

johnny depp from owensboro, kentucky hunter thompson from louisville, kentucky carouac from lowell, massachusetts chuck berry from st. louis and knievel from brute montana say anything any yeah. it's a it might be that i wasn't part of a new york kind of the intelligentsia. i was out there in public schools in america eating at seven elevens and you know land grant universities those all were figures that were very popular in america, but probably weren't aren't given the respect by critical community perhaps as much as as they could, but i don't know. i mean i those are just some of the cultural people i've written about, you know, there are a lot of people i like i just didn't get that opportunity either. i didn't get an assignment to write about them or you know, if i wouldn't have had the connection for bob dylan if i didn't first get to do the profile. rolling stones so as much as i'd like to do an oprah winfrey profile, i'm not being asked to do the oprah winfrey profile, so i can't, you know talk about but she is an amazing career and some days oprah winfrey's biography will be very import

if i can find your real good lowell show that. but it is a stark difference from what we saw last week. even look how cold it is too. you can see my breath. i'm wearing my gloves. i saw someone at the pump taking the frost off their windows. let me show you what we're looking at here in nevada zoom in for you. it's 5.69 for regular gas and 5.99 for premium gas. so it is quite insane. and this is actually similar to what we saw in the mill valley area. take a look at video just shot last hour. you can see they're very similar prices with that 5.99. with the supreme get asked. that is what you're going to face out there. triple 8 other experts say the increase in gas is largely due to the conflict. it that it's ongoing between russia and ukraine and experts do not expect gas prices to go down anytime soon. even though president biden has said he is doing everything we can to keep gas prices down at the pump. >> we're not seeing that gasbuddy predicts. we're just moments away from reaching a new all-time record of highest national av

then over time, i went back to our original writers, who you know very well lowell ganz and babloo mandelovie together and we started fashioning the musical and it got better and better and better and better and here we're going to start previews march 29th. and if we open april 27th. i hope you can make that >> jimmy: of course. >> the show, i have to say, is -- it's hilarious it's really touching the music is phenomenal. a great composer jason robert brown and amanda green wrote the lyrics. and it's beyond -- it's the best version of this character, because -- >> jimmy: have you ever sang on - >> yeah, well -- you know, i sang the last time in college in "finian's rainbow." i was the leprechaun [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wow. >> perfect timing for today. a jewish leprechaun. >> jimmy: it's st. patrick's day. yeah >> and -- and then on the oscars, i would sing on the oscars but this is -- i've been training for a year. and i have, like, eight songs, the music is spectacular it's hilarious and -- well, i couldn't be more excited about -- i'm going to be here open ended so i'm -- i'm here >> j

that is the core that lowell that is helping the storm system along. and here comes the front diving into northern california now and they're seeing some pretty decent amounts of rain. you can see the with the yellow, some orange up a little bit further to the north. those are some heavier amounts of rainfall moving in those areas near crescent city. and a little bit further to the south. you can see some of that rain moving on in now in our neighborhood. so far there's not been that much in the way of rain, although it is not far away. you see those cells just off the coastline right here. you see the raindrops out there right now. so doppler now begin to pick up on some of that rain going to be moving in the north bay here in the next couple of hours. so things picking up overnight tonight into early tomorrow morning. this front moving on through high pressure, sliding to the east and kind opens the door here. not just for this system may be a series of weather events could affect the bay area and the next 7 to 10 days. so i think tomorrow morning, l

jim lowell is with us. jim, look i'm going to say it again i've said it many times. my worry is that the market is down and stays down for the foreseeable future. reassure me. tell meme at some point it's going to go back up again. >> stuart if you give me, enough years i would guarantee you it will go up again, but if we're talking inside of this year, look, we fully expect to see this market be challenged , more challenged than it has been, not just due to the current known events, war on war , war on inflation, war on covid, but due to the high risk of yet another exogenous event piling on so this is a bigger volatile time in the marketplace , a very difficult time for investors to stay the course but precisely the time when long term investors, if they are wise, can find some rubies in the rubble. stuart: are they rubies in the rubble to be found in big tech? >> absolutely so. technology as ubiquitous, it is in everything we do. we can't even brush our teeth without using it, without amazon pinging us letting us know we need more toothpaste so i think the overall

jim lowell, great to see you my friend thank you so much as always, your brilliance is noted here. that's for sure. let's take a look at the markets , you see green on the screen, only two dow stocks in the red right now, it is a very positive opening on the dow it is opening 230 points right now on the dow jones industrial average let's switch to the subpoena by the way only two red in the dow. the s&p is up even greater percentage wise, up about three- quarters of a percentage point, up 31 and the nasdaq tech heavy is the best of all three indexes, up close to a full percentage point, you've got microsoft, apple, alphabet, amazon, they are all posting gains right out of the bat, and susan is with us. >> good morning. david: good to see you. >> you're pretty happy with the microsoft rally today, close to $300 but look, everyone's watching the federal reserve as they start their two day policy meeting today and then tomorrow, we're expecting the cruise control announcement of 25 basis points, that's the hike we're expecting in interest rates and i think that 10% producer price incr

jim lowell, market watcher in a difficult position this friday morning because all hell is breaking loose cash right now to invest, where should they invest it? >> keep the pattern derived, it's good for defense but sooner it will improve reporting on the offense, we think as long as your portfolio is tilted toward blue chip multinationals on the growth and value side we will ride through the storm not without significant trust but you will get through to the other side once vladimir putin begins to de-escalate what is taking place not just on the market but the economy but internal to russia itself. stuart: what about inflation? it is taking off, almost 10% inflation that the producer level. the economy is slowing a little bit despite what job numbers tell you. that's not a good environment to put your money into anything. >> not if you are trying to take your money out in the next two month, quarter or two but for long-term investors this leads to opportunity is if you can be patient and disciplined. the reality is inflation has been running amok for a year and all the fed has done is p
