all we're asking as an sfusd mother who has put five kids through the sfusd school system, as a product of sfusd, i'm asking you to consider and just consider to put this on the ballot and let the people decide. let the people decide if education for our children is worth more than corporate tax relief. thank you so much. [applause] >> good evening. my name's michelle parker. i'm a parent of now two sfusd students. my oldest just graduated. i'm not going to repeat a lot of what you've already heard, but i do want to say that we've seen a lot of recent evidence that there's an appetite to reform prop 13, and i think that's important to where we are right now. so i think if we can get this measure onto the 2020 ballot, i think we'll see some movement. it's a really great position that we find ourselves in. i think the projections measure that there are $8 billion in tax breaks that corporations have been benefiting from every year, and that 4.5 billion of that could go to our schools or would go to our schools if we're able to pass this measure. i think that it's really important for sfus

the last seven years of my career have been with sfusd. so for decades now, we have had overwhelming scientific consensus on the best way to teach kids to read. these best practices are summarized by what works clearinghouse in their recommendations for teaching foundational skills. instructional programs that are aligned with these findings are described as evidence based. we must ensure that any materials that sfusd invests in for reading skills are in fact evidence based. for children with markers of dyslexia, early identification is crucial. so quote from the e.l.d.-e.l.a. framework from the california department of education, the most effective intervention occurs at the first sign of difficulty and much can be accomplished with immediate action. so it is imperative that all students learning to read in sfusd have access to evidence-based instruction and foundational reading skills, and that universal screening for markers of dyslexia is a priority. students with signs of dyslexia must have access to structured literacy at first signs

i have a long history with sfusd. i retired ten years ago after 37 years serving as a teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent. now i'm the coexecutive director of united administrators of san francisco. i -- i really encourage you to approve this tentative agreement for our wonderful administrators that we have. they work hard, they're resilient, and they really do what's best for their school communities and their teachers. thank you so much. >> thank you, mrs. lee. it's always greet to see you, and i apologize that i had you under somebody else's. great. any other comments from the board or the superintendent? sorry, commissioner sanchez? >> thank you. i just have -- mr. scarlato, can you just give us some of the highlights of this tentative agreement, the public? >> sure. so for the school year 2018-19, all administrators will receive a 7% increase, and that will be followed by a 3% increase in 2019-2020, so that'll give them a 10% increase over the next two years. >> thank you. roll call vote, please. >>

i'm a future sfusd parent, and i also used to work in sfusd within the high schools. i used to work at phoenix high school back in the day, was on 16th and mission. so basically, i'm here today to support the indian education p.a.c., right, and so there was a list of ten points saying these are the things that we want to see happening this upcoming school year. and i watched that video of the meeting there in january about ten different times, that section. and i took notes. so in one of them, you know, the student delegate said that the washington high school school sites council would be meeting about the washington murals, and they would be making a decision whether how they felt about it or not felt about it, but they would be convening, and that within a month or two, that you all would hear back what -- what -- i don't know, anybody know? superintendent? anyone know what happened at that school site meeting? no one knows. no one in the local native american community knows, no one in the indian -- american indian p.a.c. knows. also with the ten points, commissio

this update will be presented by our chief of sfusd kevin truitt. [applause] >> good evening, superintendent matthews and commissioners of the board of education. this is your annual report for safe and supportive schools. i'd like to start by framing this area of improvement for the implementation of safe and supportive schools. we believe that if we provide professional development that assists schools in creating and maintaining systems and structures to increase the amount of learning time for students, particularly african american students, and we support teacher-led professional learning communities around building and maintaining a positive school climate and culture as well as provide coaching by trained professionals, and if schools utilize the tiered fidelity inventory as a self-assessment monitoring tool to measure fidelity of implementation, then we will see a decrease of office referrals, suspensions and expulsions which will in turn provide increased instruction time for student, so we will see an increase student performance, and eli

rules, we got a report from curriculum, and the joint ad hoc committee on -- with sfusd and city college. we had updates on free city, our homeless youth program, safe routes to schools and transportation, and our dual enrollment process. another good meeting. board delegates to membership organizations, anybody have any reports on any of those? all other reports by board members? anything? no? not even commissioner murase? no? okay. calendar of committee meetings, so although the schedule of up coming meetings is posted on the agenda, please, this is your time to announce any other dates or times of your particular committee meeting. just to note that our membership in or the committees may be changing up, so we're going to be d-- i'll be sendin you an e-mail asking you what your preferred committees will

we take time off our work to go to legislative visits up in sacramento, to attend sfusd meetings. we realize that without doing that, it would be hard pressed for us to really be participatory and collaborate with the district, so we take that time off because we're committed to our children's education. also to the point with he have significantly increased our attendance at c.a.c. meetings this year? i specifically want to point out that back in february we had a family empowerment assignment summit where other families came together and we worked together in regard to our concerns that we have for our children in special education. other advocacy workshops at school sites, we've done -- we've had presentations at the information resource conference presented by support for families of children with disabilities. it's an all day saturday event where multiple workshops are done, and with our workshop, we've provided information to both professionals and families about the c.a.c. and what we're doing in special education. in addition, we've been involved with outreach at what used

graduates or are in college and graduated from sfusd. so this is our eighth year, and in particular, we just want to thank all of our partners who have been involved with us. we draw from schol orships you've already received and through organizations that you work closely with, and so we want to thank our schol orship partners, many of who are here with us, the black college track, filipino graduates of san francisco, first track, teachers of san francisco, masonic foundation of san francisco, mission economic development agency, mission promise neighborhood, mission graduates, san francisco achievers, san francisco alliance and black school educators, san francisco foster youth fund, san francisco university state project rebound, the association of chinese teachers, and a26 valencia. these organizations reflect the love san francisco has for our youth, so we want to thank you for being a part of that. i also want to acknowledge gina frommer who is our sponsor from the san francisco education fund. she has always supported the work tha

as a parent of two sfusd kids, it's awesome. harlan and i were talking over lunch about how in chicago kids didn't know where milk came from. for a kid that lives in the city that doesn't know that, there's a big opportunity to know that. >> commissioner moran: it comes from almonds. >> president kwon: it's all about more important. concepts like land use, water, it's esoteric, but in san francisco, there's terrific hands-on application. so i think this work is important. to vice president courtney's comment, things like where the water comes in the tap and where it goes when you flush the toilet, that's 101. now 201, there's a website called planet vision, put together by folks at my day job that talk about the solutions. the whole idea is starting with basic building blocks of information. i'm not a scientist, obviously, but once you build on that, you can say, eat less meat. don't waste food. in the public schools at this age early, early on, instills in them, not just a value system, but a working understanding of where they

i'm a future sfusd parent, and i also used to work in sfusd within the high schools. i used to work at phoenix high school back in the day, was on 16th and mission. so basically, i'm here today to support the indian education p.a.c., ri

we serve more than 15,000 sfusd students and 84 shows at 53 schools. we need your support in order to keep bringing youth awareness messages of acceptance, nonvials, hiv/aids education and -- nonviolence, hiv/aids education and the importance of performances to san francisco's next generations. thank you. >> good morning. my name is kayla. i'm a local actor and educator, and i work with the new conserveatory theater. when i was in 2010, i saw the teen play they produced. it was the very first play i had seen outside of the school program. a filipino beingtor was falling in and out of love on the stage, years later, i auditioned for the theater. eight years ago and now, the stories that the new conserveatory plays still resonate within the world and the city, especially in the world that we live in today, and it's crucial to the hearts and minds of the communities. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good morning. my name is nicole mendez, and i work as the program director for the youth aware educational theater. as you may have

and a recent study found that 48% of sfusd families do drive alone regularly when they're commuting to and from school. so they actually have a goal of 30% by 2030, so that's going to take a lot of work to get there. so one of the ways we are doing this is by promoting carpooling. as director raphael mentioned, while safe routes promotes all of those four fun ways as we call them of getting to school, many families and children don't live near their school so it can make biking and walking and taking public transportation quite a challenge. so one of the ways we want to do this is letting them know that there might be families who live nearby who are in their neighborhood who are also attending the same public school or same school in general. so in january and february of 2018, we ran a carpool campaign, carpool to school, and this was targeted towards elementary and middle school aged children in san francisco for all across san francisco schools, public and private and charter. so we want to get those single-family -- we want to get those people to know and understand that there is

members.those behind the move say it's the democratic thing to do citing a stat that over a third of sfusd students are immigrants for so long as people have been marginalized and other people who are citizens have a legal right to vote have dominated the conversation quite frankly i think it's time as a former school board member i welcome those voices. i think those are the voices it need to be hurt quite frankly those of the children in our system that actually need more help.but this new law kicks in just as the crackdown on the undocumented heats up under the trump administartation. those interested in excercising this new right are being told to get legal advice before filling out this form....since the city can't block this information from ending up in the hands of federal immigration officials. what is very risky is that we don't know where this president will go. on the back of the information pamplet explaining the new city law ....is a list of immigrant rights groups who can help give advice. there are three open seats on the sf school board in this november's election....those
