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. >>

sfusd teachers age 46 and above account for about 40% of the population in sfusd. while those referred to par for the same age group account for almo almost double, about 79%. that number does not begin to address the people who are over 55 and retire rather than go through the punitive par program. at least one ethnic racial group is completely missing from the data that was reported. the average age for african american women in par is 63 years of age. i will say i did get something from h.r. yesterday. they did acknowledge it. it was said, somehow, that age is somehow linked to burnout and maybe we can discuss that another time, but i'd like you to keep the matter open. again, i request that the board investigate and answer the various practices of par and restore the past victims. thank you for your time. >> my name is brittany sterling and i'm a student in sfusd. i've watched my mom fight hard for my sisters and brothers. i've attended several meetings, and i've also been copied on several e-mails by sfusd does not respond to. i would like to know, who are the

linda was almost single handedly responsible for the ed indications of sfusd. her impasse on inclusive education in san francisco cannot be overstated and her passion was contagious. linda began her own participation in public education as a child with a physical disability. as one of los angeles's many segregated special education centers where she was a student until 4th grade. then her father advocated for her to be included in regular class in her neighborhood school. something that was no small feat in the 1960s. in 1994, linda moved to san francisco to accept one of the regular inclusion support. as they initiated, 10 elementary, two middle and one high school provided services in that first year and linda worked with elementary students and became full-time. in 1997 she was appointed as a content specialist k through 12. as the number of inclusive schools spread across the city, 50 preschool through high school sites through 2000, focusing on those with the severe disabilities and then broadening. they co-chaired the inclusion task force created by the s

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

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

the council is cochaired by the mayor and sfusd superintendent with the goal of setting a coordinated effort to leverage funding and partnerships to collect and impact uninsured children, youth and families. under his tenure, he created the office of early care and education, which is held advocate for resources, align funding, generate public policy public policy and support thousands of families and secure presold --'s preschool classes while increasing funding and coordination the youngest residents. >> the mayor continued and enhance the commitment of recognizing excellent teachers through his principle of the year award. if you want teachers and principals have been honoured and recognized for their outstanding service to their students. they have been presented with gifts, cash awards, and this year we added an award for an outstanding parent educator of the year award. he started public service as a educator. he raised and awarded $220,000 in scholarships for the eye and the future scholarship award. in 2011, many awards were given. a hundred $80,000 since college -- college sc

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

. >> reporter: sfusd made sure parents and guardians were aware of the potential delay prior to this morning by writing on its website and notifying the principals. the communications office also told us, "given that we cannot anticipate which lines will be affected, we will evaluate any potential impact after school begins and work with the schools and students that may be impacted." the sfmta said they don't have a recruiting problem. this is a constantly shifting puzzle. once construction on the tunnel is complete, kids should be able to get to school faster because those people will be back to their normal routes. in san francisco, jackie ward, kpix5. >>> mountain view high school's football community is trying to add stadium lights for night games, but some community members are pushing back. kpix5 reporter kiet do explains why some people want to keep the field dark. >> reporter: we're coming to you live here from mountain view high school. this campus along with los altos high school down the street are the only two schools in the entire south bay that still do not have stadiu
