the standards for identity are a lot more rigorous now and we're just requiring the same standard that we did in 2003. the federal government has required the states to be more rigorous before issuing identification cards. that's why the appellant can't get a valid government identification but more peerntly i want to emphasize if this commission decides that expired identification is okay with letters you will have a standard that is really arbitrary. what is enough? it's a letter from a former supervisor? is it a balance license? what standard are we going to use? >> >> and that would be unfair to the public at a whole. >> do you have any -- >> i do and the issue is background check and you stated the primary reason it requires a valid id so you can do a background check and issue a license for fortuneteller. >> that's correct. that's one of the reasons. >> which makes infinite sense to me, so if a medical marijuana card issued by the state requires a background check to be issued wouldn't it be valid for your licensing purposes? >> that's a good question. a thorough and complete bac

what standard are we going to use? >> >> and that would be unfair to the public at a whole. >> do you have any -- >> i do and the issue is background check and you stated the primary reason it requires a valid id so you can do a background check and issue a license for fortuneteller. >> that's correct. that's one of the reasons. >> which makes infinite sense to me, so if a medical marijuana card issued by the state requires a background check to be issued wouldn't it be valid for your licensing purposes? >> that's a good question. a thorough and complete background check starts with knowing that your backgrounding the person who is applying for the permit. if that person's identity is something different the background check has no merit, so it's very important -- it wouldn't have any merit because you would be backgrounding somebody who is not the real person applying for the permit. what i am getting at is even if the state of california and i don't think they do a criminal background check. i don't know that for sur

they are to be used in tandem with the standards and to strengthen the new standards. so the actions include but are not limited to aligning our current california eob standards to san francisco unified school districts ela prepaid core curriculum and continue to provide both district wide and sight site based development and coaching and follow up. and also provide elv diagnostic and informative assessments to help with the literacy instruction and continue to assist sites with the blt section of the standard report card and work with the teachers to develop a curriculum for long term english learners aligning this work to the california common core state standards. and support the teachers to implement the curriculum for a long term english learners and specialized english language development class and throughout the content areas. the second area focus will be primary language and instruction of core and language development and so we will provide a clear infrastructure in the design and implementation and monitoring and refinement of research based programs which

it's a lower standard that officers are -- the higher standard is to convict of a crime. the lower standard is the one used to determine whether or not it was justified or not. >>> no, no, i understand that. i'm clear on that. what i'm not clear on, it says here in this presentation, it was stated that the d.a. has to provide beyond a shadow of a doubt as -- what's that? >> it's in criminal court. >>> that's in the court. so, that's -- that clarifies that. nevertheless, nevertheless, it's still -- these different standards, the administrative review again being a lesser standard can work both ways. that gives a lot of room on either side, on either side of it and it not even being admissible in court when potentially a finding has been made of potential criminally it. very dangerous. so, i think that this warrants further scrutiny and review both by this body and the public. * finally in terms of budgetary matters, i know my time is short here. i wonder of the 9 million and 13.6 million for nonpersonnel professional services, how much of that money has been accounted for

to those standards. i personally think 8 trips a month is not very much. i mean, you know, you look at the generation coming along, more and more people needing this. * baby boomer at a bare minimum. incentive to drivers for doing this. this is a beginning. we'll come back to this with a lot more information in the future. okay, on the question? >> i will give a motion to approve. >> is there a second? >> second. >> motion and second. any further suction? all in favor say aye. >> aye. >> opposed no? the ayes have it. okay. how about having a break. >> sure. >> thank you very much. * five-minute break >>please stand by; meeting in recess >> [speaker not understood] any member of the public wishes to address you on this matter. >> [speaker not understood]. >> sorry, you saved the best for last. good afternoon, members of the board.

and whether just overall public understanding of those standards. so, it would be nice to make sure we hear about kind of the development of those standards or that they're publicized well. i think that would obviously -- what those standards say, it would be really important. this is a more particular thing that i think director oka pointed out, which is [speaker not understood], give him credit for some comments as well. the idea that there is this idea of past performance in terms of the companies. and i think that's a good idea, but i do think it's important to make sure that we try and incentivize everyone to provide excellent service for people who use wheelchairs. but i'm just worried about this legislation in particular, pretty specific to how if you look at the section 1110 subsection d, it doesn't really refer to a record of service to passengers in wheelchairs. i'm worried about limiting in terms of our ability to create a path for other companies that maybe aren't currently providing service to people in wheelchairs but would like to. >>

i can't imagine what they're using i mean it's become a standard out is that when you are applying for a job that your prospective employer will check out your facebook account they will check out your twitter stream they will google we do and i think that this goes a little beyond the pale i mean there really is the on privacy i mean there's there are two issues here there is the privacy issue that you've talked about in they shouldn't be allowed to do this but there's also the issue of free speech when your employers tell you that they want to get access to various account has a chilling effect and now you know we're all living in an age where most people communicate via the social networks and and we don't have the kind of first amendment protections. in social media that many people think that we have we're subject to their terms of service. polices like facebook can cut us off for any reason whatsoever it's in their own terms and now we have a situation where where prospective employers want to get access with information so so it's we're in a really prickly era when it comes to f

the codes are actually a minimum standard. they're not a maximum standard.you can build many things way beyond the code. you can make things much better. the code tells you the lowest level it was acceptable for health and safety. >> yes. >> you have the wire that pull into the conduit, black, white. >> a minimum for a circuit, you would pull these two wires and a piece of v.m.t. or any conduit. back here, for the 480 volts, orange. >> right. and then we probably have some green here to ground this stuff someplace. >> hopefully we do. there it is. there it is. my goodness, show me that green. i want to see the green. there we go. there is our ground wire. it's interesting, the grounding is to important in buildings. everything has to be grounded and interestingly enough i remember reading years ago about hospitals and medical facilities, den at all offices and things, every single recentable needs an independent ground. >> it's called a redundant ground. speaking of which -- >> pull that out here. >> this is hospital grade m.c. cable. it's designed with two

tests we standardized our children i know that sort of. a slogan more than anything but as a community college professor i'm not just a researcher i mean i'm on the ground i just got out of a class ten minutes ago working with many of my students fail the standardized test icicle proficiency test numerous times and they had very little exposure to critical thinking and very little exposure to an educational system that was enjoyable or valued the sort of complicated life we have so the danger is is that the kids could get fit into this standardized mold or like many of the students i have now they're just simply shut down and disenfranchised from the educational system and from opportunity so again the danger of commodifying education on the one hand we can modify our children on the other hand we open up education to the marketplace and to corruption and there are many cases i could cite specifically about once the schools are giving to private and all sorts of nefarious corruption happening absolutely and it really lacks that human eleme

so why don't you agree with the principle of standardized testing. well the tests are very poor they're poor tests of their old fashioned they really date from the mid twentieth century the sound tests are coolly written they're not good predictors they masquerade as really cation of what you are they have no connection really with learning and with reasoning so i'm not against testing but these tests in my view are corrupt out of date and not and they're discriminatory i.e. is that is the word corrupt there can you explain away is that where because the biggest correlation and scores of test is your income and how well you do it. which means you can retrain for the test and the training for the test comes with privilege so very gifted children who are not in homes where you can have to agree special civically for the test these tests are not really a test of subject knowledge and not tests that really understanding their extremely . unhelpful instruments that have been used by institutions too low get through the selectively process you give numbers
