working real hard to support our schools so let's have it for safe schools safe schools. >> safe schools. >> vision zero. >> vision zero. >> walk and roll. >> walk and roll go giant. >> go giants. >> all right. (clapping). >> wow. thank you so much may i we're so pleased to have the mayor's leadership on traffic safety and vision zero and making our schools safer to that everyday when you walk and roll or bus to school i can get that safely i also want to thank the betsy career mistake school sea community and principle for letting us highlight how amazing our school is to you guys are one of the all stars your fighting inform getting up get to school safely because you have bobby washington and the principle and parents and the community all working together along with our city leaders so the safe route to school walk and roll today are in order to show all our communities that walking to school and rolling and bicycling to school is possible and feasible and it's fun how many of you had dunn fun today wow. it's fun to walk to school; right? so we're doing that in many, many schools so

good schools regardless of the policy structure and if the schools are actually to the serving schools i don't think this powerful driver making opportunities for kids should be wasted on model that don't deliver that particular model will deliver when i asked to join the board i wanted to see how the teachers could be brought together to powerfully improve their instructions very well, i said this model can actually make that happen i have myself recommended 19 schools to be authorized as charter schools for the two different boards i've served and 11 of them were actually authorized and i have rectified 2 hundred and 19 charter applications in working in the public utilities and i've not seen one like this in all the application and schools i've visited in my day i've never seep one for all kids what the wealthy provide for theirs this school provides that and thank you very much, sir. >> thank you. next speaker, please and first off it's deeply humming to be here and with the people that are strengthening our vision of the 15 learning i'm emily the co-founder the school i'm a total

even at middle school. the majority of victims do not report their rapes, and neither have many of their schools. lori jane gliha's story with a young woman who did report and the shocking response. >> reporter: rachel carries her rubik's cube everywhere she goes, it's kind of a security blanket. rachel has been doing this for four years, ever since one afternoon when she was 17, a high school senior, a member of the marching band in the small town of henderson texas. inside that building is where you were raped. >> right. >> reporter: another student, a football player and fellow band member lured her into the band her. >> it was strictly forced. the entire type of immediately after i was raped i went to the bathroom and was scared. >> reporter: rachel's mum said the high school was unprepared and made mistakes from the moment the assault was reported. >> she went to the band teacher on the day it happened. there was semen on her shirt and told them "i have been raped", he said "go confront your attacker."

and in my view a charter school to fill a gap i have a supported for example, the charter schools or 5 key schools in our jails clear up our district is not meeting the niece of folks in jail another example the life learning academy open treasure island development authority board to address some of our kids that have been most directed if our system and who find a really welcoming home in that charter school and i just don't see the same level of meeting the gap of laying out a program we're not already doing in our existing schools a speaker talked computers we have one at glal lae low and marsha new gaming academy kids learn how to make games and a maker lab thanks to the mayor who worked with commissioner mendoza and the sales force we've embraced the practices and building our schools are putting equality into action and my final concern about our educators we've heard loudly and clearly from our united creators that are union members that fight for living wages and benefits we're in the middle of tough negotiation but i believe in the value of our union workforce and typically

institutions; right but the elementary school school half of the years are spent in the transitioned it's takeing i think it is pa hard over wants star kings i want to focus on one you you know we have a difference population of kids including kids that have experienced a lot of dislocation and transitioned in their own lives the schools should be a place of stability and introducing a new elements such a bungalows and one hundred center kids incorporated into the community is a lot to ask for and the other pointed in my language attrition is an issue when a kid lives e leaves in third and figured out grade they can't be replaced so if the students move to private school or outside the district i think that anything that increases student turnover is something the district should look at carefully when it is thinking about a language immersion program this is not the right school or times for the >> thank you. next speaker, please (clapping.) hello board of education i'm jamie a parent at star king for seven years it's a community very dear to me but a community that needs a lot of s

network schools around the word have dedicated the week as school week with the inclusive education one community and whereas the santa fe san francisco unified school district is commit to providing an education for schools and classrooms that are welcoming and capable of educating outline children and whereas the educators of san francisco recognition that each child is unique and learns delve and worked better in the teaching is stlald to their interests whereas the families of sfusd have been working to insure your classrooms are inclusive and high professionalism whereas by their efforts to make our schools and classrooms inclusive the educators and families of step forward have contributed significantly to building stronger and more inclusive community and whereas educators and teachers deserve to celebrate and might further improve so we're asking you for the resolution thereby be it resolved by the board of education and the district join with the network and the societies schools and district and community around the world in declaring the week of december 3rd, there 5 and

is schools we're one of the districts we talk about not taking over we don't want to be a charter school district we charter great schools year after year but i feel recycle there are options that we can support and options that we want to be part of and i guess maybe i shouldn't be saying the way i want to be part of that's how i view new schools yes. there's questions and challenges and i actually would support new school if we were looking at it as a k 5 and because it's being put in front of of us as a k 12 that as pa district sets precedent is a expression of a new opportunity and i wish that it would have come to us a a k 5 i think many of us would have given different consideration and going to do a charter process is bumper to bumper but that's not why i want you to do a longer k through 12 because of the process but stevedore having this opportunity to see your school bloom as a k 5 would have been a much better option for me so i wish we could have be able to support commissioner haneys proposal i would have like to see this proposed as a k 5 unfortunately, it's an opportunity

and high school enrollments are expected to begin rising. they measured the yields in the completed project and they are listed here on the slide and so

in our district you go from a smaller you know cancel school to a larger school and once you've done that user you have this confidence to go on to high school that is larger and sometimes there are 2 thousand students and have that under our belt and ucla with 50 thousand people and, hold our own like any children go to erecting beyond the scope and china because you have in our confidence you've been in. >> variety with a variety of people if different cultures. >> you see everyone as a peer and feel confident you can conquer that word that's the scene of vision 2025 so not a k through 12 fan but also want to say i'm a fan of a lot of the things you put into our petition and he think that it is difficult for us to translation from a k through 12 but to renew when we looked at renewals we're looking to renew the same so kip middle school we're not looking to renew something new we haven't seen this is the stretch i'd like to say i thought that would be changing for you to meet a population that is reflective of our own conversation but i had a deep discussion with you all right what

to be a very small little school and actually all of our elementary schools are small elementary schools and have the capacity of about 400 or 500 and so i think that it causes us to pause and rethink a little bit about where, or what we need to do with our existing properties and also, if our school population changes, and we see a increase, we may need to look at new administrative offices that can also support and accommodate this new growth in our student enrollment. that will mean that we will need to look at probably a new administrative office, or build on our existing one consider thating our administrative offices are all over the city and not in one location, and so i think this is very timely to have this conversation and what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell mentioned about what is happening in the mission, and we can't look at one development, and i think that it would not be prudent or wise to look at one development without looking in isolation and that we would need to look at, all of the developments surrounding for example, marshal elementary school. and that has the maxi

schools, charter schools, private schools, blended and virtual schools, homeschools. children should be able to cross county lines,es, into neighborhood -- neighboring school districts. families would be given a school neachers, and give information to make decisions. clearl make it crystal that the students are first, the parents are advocates. the state of the local muted be our -- state and local communities are whether the best ideas come from. if the federal government wants role and reform committees to stop trying to tie every education dollar to something in washington dc. make more programs that they can deploy as they see fit. every education dollar should child needs,t the what what the federal government wants. where the child goes, the caller should go -- and dollars should go. when we see that happen we will see major reforms. the federal government should go secondarysupportive role. oureed to treat teachers like modern professionals. they get paid the same, they get treated the same, whether they do good work or bad, whether they take on great challeng

and in fact i was stunned that out of 120 schools and sfusd in district six, i only have three schools in my district and one is a charter high school, on treasure island. and i imagine that this will continue to be something for us to look at. is that where the growth is occurring is of course, where we don't have a lot of existing schools and so there is not necessarily an opportunity to expand those sites, but i am curious at some point maybe, if we can also look at where our surplus property is, both the city and the school district to see if there potential sites, to see if they are going to expand, or build the new schools and of course, our office continues to be very interested in the construction of mission bay, elementary school and something that we talked about since i was on the board of education. and i can't tell you the number of strollers that i see, in mission bay, every day, and it is actually astonishing. and i was also, really interested in the yields that they looked at and it is interesting, that there is a yield on the different types of housing and it makes sen

school monthly our spanish will have to leave our children earlier in the school. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> we know it is very hard when there is a lot of noise we know that a lot of teachers get bothered by the noise on the highways. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and the noise bothers the teachers because it interrupts the teachers at the beginning of the year me and my children experienced something of a situation with a teacher at the school didn't let my kid into the school until it was time for the veefks center to open. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> if we had those classrooms available to us we'll be able to start this program's early programs for our son. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> if the children from daniel webster come to our school we'll have the same problem not being able to provide our students with the services they need. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> another problem is cleanliness which is really important for us the hydrogen now with the most of you know the children almost 3 add and 50 students 83 at the school and the bathrooms are not

or a high school our world is change and we don't know what a middle school will look like in 5 years and now the process. >> i want to get to the question. >> once it was flagdz the curriculum hearing this was in fact an issue the legal team advised this is a technicality we don't need to resubmit nothing on our ends to do up to the boards discretion to make the change on the floor instead of authorizing k 12 but k 5 we only did the clarification we do have our legal team here tonight in the event it is helpful to answer the questions i think so there are two understandings of the law to be authorized just simply for - >> i don't have i have one understanding fy i. >> okay. >> commissioner norton. >> yeah. so legal council you're saying in the board determines this is a - not, in fact, a major change or how making this change will, however, it is a major change or not isn't that a suspension of board rules won't we need 5 votes to accomplish the mission to change our rules that's exactly but i'm saying would we need 5 votes for the motion. >> so, now we are all fairly confused maybe

districts and school solvency review we need to rely on it for the future finances of the school the k-12 accept it basically didn't allow the school to have a reserve for uncertainties and having the deficit spending every year as far as it is presents that's a real problem we have criteria and standards that is a that school districts and charter schools should have a receiver for economic refers every year and not deficit spend more than one year in a row basically, if you're looking at 3 years and there's deficit in 3 years that's a sign of future components that's a problem looking at it it historically they've been doing this for 4 years it works but f it didn't present a financial picture that school districts sign off and the county of education sign off on it as a growing concern. >> i think we're ready for a vote okay. are we satisfied? yes, so i think eave owe we've heard all the process and cons >> mr. haney there on a.

don't send them to a school.is. >> what about prior to getting to college, elementary school and secondary school, you say it's almost child abuse to push for an a in calculus for a 17-year-old. what should you be pushing for? >> well, look, you want to have high expectations for your kids. you want them to work hard. but i think you want to help them do exactly what we were saying on air, find a sense of purpose. give them enough room which may mean also feeling like you don't have to do everything your high school expects you to do. give them enough room to figure out what they care about which i think they can do when they're 15, 16, 17. >> and argue for the gap year. take a year in between high school and college. >> in between high school and college. yes. >> go travel the world and figure out who you are. make a bunch of mistakes and learn from them. >> exactly. get away from your parents, get away from the system. yeah. >> amen to that. i love it. bill, good luck with the book. it's already doing so great.

no high school meets what we feel we need for 21st century learning, however, 30 high schools have good wireless mission lincoln and our two are the categorizing right now >> thank you very much superintendent i think you're going to give us an update. >> thank you president fewer and mr. cybercy as well i think the questions our asked are absolutely important questions we've done the analysis of what it does to make every clamor completely wireless less with enough abandon width for the 21st century technology within the digital plan we're bringing forward to the district the ball park figure is $190 million it is not a small ticket item but it is also highlights for us how important it is that we have been able to forge strong partnerships and with our elected officials across van ness doing this in a cooperated way but that will be coming to the board as well. >> thank you superintendent. >> thank you so much for the presentation i hope that was informative to all of us but thank you very much commissioners any comments. >> scomplinz i appreciate the questions and session we've had i

the academy of dover charter school in kent county, biotechnology high school in monmouth county, and in philadelphia, franklin towne charter high school and hill friedman world academy. suburban pennsylvania schools include merion elementary, mt. st. joseph academy, nazareth area middle school, new hope-solebury high school and norwood font bon academy. >> we appreciate the recognition and we love the fact that we have been so successful, people are starting to take notice that charter schools are really starting to develop in the country and that charter schools can be successful. >> the principal of franklin towne charter speaking there. he said his school's small size and community support are what set it apart. >>> well, dozens of people who are homeless and living in a tent community in bucks county have one day to get off that property. with colder weather on the way, about 30 people who set up camp on private property near bristol pike in bristol are being told to leave or they will end up in jail. but some say they have nowhere to go because shelters are full. >> trying to fi

of the school district and know that the city does not make decisions for the school district if the elected board of education and the superintendent and his staff that make decisions. but when there are issues of such importance with an impact on the city's economy, families and hard-working teachers and parents in the district i think it's really important to weigh in to make sure our voice is heard as a board of supervisors. i also know as a parent and as a former teacher that it's critical when there's difficult negotiations and a potential strike that entities like the board should do everything we can to urge common ground to come to a fair negotiated settlement. also i know and the resolution states how important it is for the public to realize how few resources we get from the state and the federal government and that our under-funded and unfunded school system needs much more support so teachers and parents can be paid a fair wage with good benefits and that programs in our benefit can flourish and be expanded as well. the state government really has hampered our san franci

as you know, this item was brought to us actually by the school district. and the city has experienced a tremendous amount of residential growth and a topic of discussion, here in the city and throughout the residential neighborhood and what has specifically come forward though, is actually some positive news, which is that our school district enrollment continues to grow as it has over the last couple of years and now what we are starting to feel the impact of is that we may be reaching and we may be receiving some limitations within our own school district capacity due to the tremendous growth here in the city and so this hearing was put forward and requested actually by president fewerer to understand how residential growth and our over all planning process will impact the schools now and in the future, historically the school district has not been a part of the larger city planning discussion and this is intent to start the discussion between the planning department and sfusd about this residential growth and today we have gill telly who is here to pres

in continuing with the achievement oaks the cac recommended we made co-planning a reality in every school year we talked about the benefits of co-planning and co-teaching between the teachers especially in special education having our creators and classroom teachers working together to plan lessons that can be differentiated for all students in the classroom and further co-teaching in classrooms has been happening around the district we believe that this can be more fiscal if there are set aside times for teachers to get together and plan their curriculum so when they come into a classroom together they know what they're doing and the children benefit currently, the elementary school level we have 60 minutes of planning at the time set aside barrel enough time we are asking to set aside time for the teachers to get together to make a meaningful realty for our students we be building that we need teachers with reading certificates in every school in the district we have seen an increase in the literacy specialists in schools people dedicated to help children achieve reading we know that st

howard law school was evolving from a part-time night school to a full time day school, under the guidance of a man who would have a profound influence on marshall's life. thurgood marshall :dean charles h houston, he was a graduate of amherst and harvard. very brilliant. very decent person but a very hard man. he used to tell us in our first year, "look at the man on your right and look at the man on your left and bear in mind that two of you won't be here next year." that sort of kept your feet to the fire. narrator :in the 1920s there were 8 million african-americans living in the deep south, but only 100 were lawyers. most were poorly educated working in the confines of their segregated communities, writing wills and settling divorces. the notion of a harvard educated black lawyer arguing against jim crow in court was inconceivable to most but that's who charles hamilton houston was, and that's what he intended to do. and he knew he could't do it alone. he would use howard to breed a cadre of young lawyers to attack segregation on a wide scale and change society. kimberle crenshaw :wha
