the schools that leave the students with the most debt are second and third tier schools. if i pay $175,000 for my education i'm going to get something out of it, isn't there a responsibility on the part of the schools? >> well, schools saw a good thing and they went with it. because it's a strange, strange market where you can be a third or fourth tier law school and milk people for as much money as if you were a first tier law school. it took a lot of effort through paul campos and others, how poor the placements were at the expensive or low rated schools. that was a type of misleading consumer advertising that was overly corrected. >> inflating high price with -- conflating high prices with quality. >> the law business is so, trying to imitate the high price law schools. even the students going to a lower rated law school don't want the same type of career as the yale students, they still make it an expensive education and wind up sad lin saddling peh debt. a main street lawyer shouldn't be graduating with $150,000 of debt. >> we'll hear from a law school grad with $215

we close the school. we then reopen the school and the chinese emmerkz and open the school and it's going great guns. yesterday's discarded school is today's great story. >> right. i am wondering supervisor kim maybe we could ask her if we could have that study at one of our next select committee meetings, the demographics, so we can take a look at what the latest information about san francisco and what their projections are, so i think that has to do with what's in the pipeline, right, for the housing and what people are building. i just want to make sure we're going to be able to accommodate and seventh and loton and swap it out with someone to buy property in a place where we really do need to build a school, so i think that i really -- until we sort of get a projection on it i feel like we really can't move on very much yet because we don't know it -- supervisor kim i was going to request at one of the next meetings that we look at the latest demographic and the projections for san francisco and wher

this school offers it. i'm not here as a parent that has a kid currently there, i'm here as a past parent that wants to fight for this. the community, the teachers and staff is very vital for these kids. without that, they would have nothing. they would be thrown to schools where kids do not know what's going on. they have awareness classes to teach these kids. my daughter has a best friend from that school. she's trying run for secretary of her school. without the school, we would not have that. i want to read a letter that one of the kids wrote: it says "dear board members, we are the third grade in room 210. we want to save our friends and program. here is the reasons why they should stay. they are friends and kind and hopeful. they know our school and community and teachers and student. here is the reasons why they should not go. more money will be spent on buses, therapy and other support staff will be needed to travel to new sites for all over districts. this place has physical therapy, occupational t

it's in integration to high school. there is something fundamentally different about the way algebra operates and cognitively the way that students need or the needs that students have in algebra that i think often are difficult to address in a 1 year of class for a 12 or 13-year-old kid. i think that the vertical integration that is being proposed at the middle school and high school level around algebra is going to be really crucial to our success as math teachers and math learners in the district. i probably don't need to tell people about all the research done in vertical integration in other countries and our own that's shown there is huge success if heterogenous classrooms for students across the learning spectrum at high and low levels of math capabilities. and when it's done properly, i think we have had a lot of opportunities as through complex instruction and other sorts of pd's and will continue to do so and i'm confident this is the right move for our students and classrooms. >> hi. good evening, i'm tooik a

school is the only alternative to, a low performing school and so i do wonder if, there is primarily serve the children of color and i am worried that those schools also tend to be on the edge, financially, so i am wonder ifing there are any special consideration in the process for that. >> sure, absolutely, great question and so we have had schools represented throughout the process that are in that kind of hard spot. >> oak school is a perfect example of one and so we have been working with them with that and the forefront of our thinking the whole time and so again it speaks to the level of case management that we are willing to dedicate the staff time and so to be able to work with these individually and when we talk about the schools, and different, the arch diocese was part tf and they have happened a consultant to manage this and so they are excited on engaging this and that will be handled on a city wide basis from what they have been telling me, you are right, the smaller schools, are schools that we need to pay close attention to. in they were passing a different requiremen

we shared with all the uesf levels high school, middle school and elementary. we have been attending the schools administrator meetings as well. >> okay. at this point we'll take any questions from the audience or the commissioners? >> thank you for that presentation. any comments? yes. commissioner haney? >> thank you for the presentation and for all the preparation that you have done for this big shift for us. so it seems like a lot of this, well entirely this year is for us to learn from the process. so, in terms of the feedback that we are going to get from the folks who participate, what is that going to look like. is there a longer assessment process not just around the technology, but around the experience for students and the thoughts they have. is that something that's been considered as we assess. obviously the state is going to want to know a lot more than us. but what are we seeking to learn from ourselves in addition to whether the capabilities are in place? >> i think what we are seeking is primarily getting not only from a level of the content, b

own devices at the schools. also, for example it's $5,000 for some elementary schools to supply their own wifi much less have these available in schools to practice on. correct me if i am wrong, is that this is a timed test. so when it's timed, it would mean that your skill level on the computer cuts into your time whether or not your skills are not skilled. i speak from someone who is not skilled. when you say highlight and drag or drag and highlight, that takes me probably longer than an average person to do. actually looking at these questions, i am so glad that i have graduated from high school already. i even set this on what is the right answer. so those are my concerns is that if this is all of the computer we have so many students that don't have computers at home. they just don't have them. those are the students that will be then disadvantaged from those students who have maybe four or five computers at home that are used to doing all that stuff as five things up on a screen like my son was. then i'm a

obviously it could be a small school site if we chose to do that. there are private schools in the area that see it as a place to build a play ground or athletic field and no decisions have been made but that is clearly on our portfolio list and there is a high desire from t supervisor of the district and from neighbors that see it as blight in the neighborhood and i don't blame them and you see a photo here and it's intensely built up around it mostly single family homes and duplexes and there's our property right in the middle. moving on to number three obviously seventh and loton which is currently open space. we know there are people in the neighborhood who will fight to the death to keep it open space. we also know in talking to many people in the city that it's actually a prime site for housing right beneath the met center, right in a place where good things could happen. it could take fairly dense housing and still maintain some open space as well. the city under the surplus property act also has the right to take it as a public park at fair

right now law schools don't. the first year is required, the second and the third years are almost entirely or entirely elective. and that leaves studenting really flowbderring. it also doesn't reflect well on law schools. quite a bit more either required or heavily recommended courses. including things like corporate law, which is not required anywhere that i know of. but which is absolutely central to the way that law and resources are organized in this country. for better or worse. tax law, like wise, is not required anywhere. certainly it ought to be. it's the one place where we do totally think about issues of associate justice and how we distribute them there are few of any schools that i know require basic theory of justice. which i think should be required or at least heavily resmedded everywhere. so in the second year, i would put a number of courses that reflect the school or the institution's view of what if you think about it focus articulate what it is that the school thinks that the lawyer should kn
