commissioner mendoza. >> thank you. there we go, thank you. i want to thank chris for the survey he did at the end of the year after supervisor farrell's generous fund-raising efforts. we had 11 schools on line and had one in every district, and we did that intentionally. actually david was the only one not on at that time. that was a really positive experience, i think, and denny you correct me on this, we had two incidences. one was a broken umbrella stand and sand toys were taken. we had this pilot out there for a while. but with no funding. and every city department actually carried the budget within their own budget. so -- and the principals that had participated had a really good experience with it. so it was easier for us to go out and say, now we have funding behind it. and what i said to mark initially, we have to have incenti incentive. the principals most reluctant were worried about what would happen to their site. how they make it so they don't have to worry coming monday. we worked hard to eliminate all of those worries. and i th

. >> commissioner mendoza? >> i forgot what i was going to say. so, this is always that march stamp that we do. and it is processes con voluted and we work on exceptions which makes zero sense, it is a required time frame that never matches our planning. and looking at you, this is... this is this. you know? and i think that the other added piece that we have to or that we are up against a wall and we need to be caution. and that the out come of that will look like, which we are what now? 6 days away from that or four days away from that? and, we are not feeling like we are on the steady ground despite the prop 30 and some of the other wonderful things and thanks to our voters. i think that it is fair to say that our commitment to labor is to minimize our layoffs as we always try to do every year, year in and year out. and the ininstruction that you get from us is continuing to be just that. is that we want to minimize it and the whole idea that we could do no layoffs would be ideal. again, a commitment from the board will be to look under every r

commissioner mendoza. >> thank you. so i wanted to respond to you quickly, supervisor kim, with betsy carmichael and because she's right across the street from a park. we had installed these railings that close off the street, sherman. that allows the kids to play safely between the school and park. and that's been terrific. in this closing, i want to thank all of our city partners. they have consistently come to the table with me on some very challenging issues. and have not batted an eye when it comes to supporting this idea. and dpw and rec & park in particular, they have worked everything out in their budget. we have had dave george and matt hansen, who used to be our risk management person at the district. and who is our risk management person here, and that has helped a lot. and between the two of them, they helped work out the mou, that was an important piece for the work we need to do. and they are helping us out on who can be on the yards and what cannot be. so we are putting in the safety measures. and i want

. >> mendoza. >> sometimes it is not a good fit at that particular school. could you be clearer on what the opportunities are for those that are not reelect in terms of reapplying the following year or what is the process for them to get supported. i think that a lot of what we are feeling is like sometimes they just need to be better supported in order to come back. and i don't want to discourage people who, you know, should be in the classroom or could be in a classroom to stay in the classroom. there is a continuing rumor, if you will, it used to be that when someone was non-reelected that they could not reapply to the district and for a year and they were required to go someplace else, show that they were a good performer someplace else and then return to the district. that is not the case. for the last, for three years now, it has been, it is our policy that they are not reelected, and having done nothing wrong. and so they have every right to reapply for any position that we have in this district and in some cases they are, they are rehired. so, thank

include an element for around an internship program for our students, but i think that commissioner mendoza -- if you want to tweak the wording and i will look at it to and then after the presentation we can present it. >> mr. davis, you can help craft that as well. and just in terms of the -- i just wanted to be clear. so this resolution is simply to instruct the staff to move forward on a policy. and i wanted to just ask in terms of additional language or putting anything else in, is it gonna be restricted to what's in here or as they're developing if other things come up 'cause we'll still have to approve a policy down the road. so i just wanted to put that on record that there may be some other things that come down the road through april 23 and i just wanna have the flexibility to have that conversation because the policy is not in place yet, but this is instructing our staff to go forward to create the policy. >> i agree. i think we should write a line in there that allows us some flexibility to make additions and amendments to other things you might wanna see, of course with board ap

and martha mendoza, reporter for the "associated press" based in santa cruz. welcome, everyone. yesterday, thousands of law enforcement officers came together in honor of santa cruz police sergeant loran "butch" baker and detective elizabeth butler, shot dead last week by a suspect they were questioning about a sexual assault. the memorial was so big, organizers moved it to hp pavilion in san jose. mm martha, you were at the event. what struck you about it? >> it was really a sad, sad day. it was shakingly sad. there came a moment when one of the officers' partners picked up their son, 5-year-old waukeen. he has his mom's hat over his eyes and holding a teddy bear. you just see this is a kid who's never going to have his mom again. and, you know, her longtime boyfriend just said that he had promised her when he had seen her body that he would always take care of these kids. there were so many people who just loved both of these officers. >> this was really kind of an unprecedented outpouring of grief for santa cruz when they decided to move it from kaiser permanente arena downto

mendoza. >> i had a question with regards to how much data we actually have in terms of the longitude data. i know that we know if there's a lot of studies that we measure by 8th grade, 11th grade -- that's where we really start to see improvements that are happening. what happens to kids that have been in bilingual programs and where do they go and what support do they get and how well do they do coming out of an early or late exit. when they move on, what happens to them? >> well, in response to the early exit and what happens to them we actually look at students who are reclassified by pathway so we're able to monitor individually how students are doing over two years and there is a process with the teachers to ensure that if a student is conning moving forward that that's tracked, that if they're also dipping down we're also able to track that as well and provide the appropriate services. it wouldn't be el services, but in terms of intervention that are needed at that point, those are taken into consideration. >> and then in terms of how much data do we have? >> we have lots of da
