i was on the school board at the time. when you choose to speak later, you begin to run out of things to say that other people haven't said already. i think all those issues that my colleagues have already pointed out, issues that you can lead on, are very commendable. i certainly have senior leadership, and i've seen you grow, also, from the time this elementary school until now. i guess, one of the things that nobody has mentioned yet, i think you should get some credit for also, is the joint forces to support the seniors and passing the dignity fund. was at last year? or three years ago? in your leadership, i've been a really, really -- happy with your leadership being the budget chair. i've seen you -- what you learned from last year and applied it to lap -- this year. it has made such a difference in how you've grown and so forth. and i think part of why i will support, why i want to support you as i've seen the leadership that you display. not only on the budget committee but also on certain issues, in particular, as

the retirement system board meeting, the member of the board announced his interest in being considered for the position of executive director. they voted to offer the position to mr. exec. they announced the vote in open session. he was present for the closed session, abstained from the closed session. mr. exec accepted the board's offer. a few days later, he submitted his written resignation to the board and commenced his employment as executive director. here is a contract at issue -- well let me just say this -- on the california law employment, relationships are considered contracts in the public sector, so the court said you had employment contract that was at issue here. and therefore, mr. exec, who was on your board, had an interest in the contract, his own employment as the executive director. mr. exec, the court said, you really two choices. you should have resigned from the board before you told the board that you were interested in the executive director position. or just not applied for the position. so in this case, mr. exec, i think had worked for the city as the executiv

if the board had the benefit of the memo, it could be instrumental and way how the board voted. secondly, the board was deprived of an accurate information regarding the nature of the space severed from my tennancy. in his testimony before the board, he stated it is our position that there have been no severance of housing services. when cornered by commissioner honda, if they were like kind, he responded, we believe they are. yes. his statements are false. the project applicant is proposing or take space leased to me and allegedly replace it with space which is already leased to me. under the hearing rules, i had no opportunity to rebut his inaccurate testimony. accordingly, the board relied on his inaccurate testimony and approved the project which wrongly takes place leased to me. i assert that a manifest injustice would occur if the project applicant were allowed to proceed. finally, he wrongly asserts that the project applicant cannot assert a just cause until it has a permit. he is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the board by citing a section which pertains to evi

comments from the board of the superintendents? >> i would like to get the kids to talk a little bit about the origins of this effort on the discussions that they see and i want to make one brief comment. >> thank you commissioners. first i would like to thank you for supporting us on this resolution, being our co-author. the origins were from sac and we believe that it was important with the legalization of recreational cannabis to prevent advertisement exposure especially to the younger students to prevent premature exposure to cannabis usage. that was really what brought about this resolution. we wanted to make sure that advertising was strictly discouraged around school premises, and because we've already seen the board passed resolutions regarding commercial advertising, we thought this would be a great way to make sure that youth were -- sorry, make sure use do not have unnecessary exposure to cannabis and it's products. >> anything to add? >> no. i want to remind my colleagues that in february we saw many school students sic

a lot of this is messaging from the board. what is the message we want to send about residency fraud? and two families who have a lot of resources and go to a lot of extreme in order to gain access to our wonderful school? >> not all the families have a lot of resources or the circumstance. that is a generality. we have had cases come to us that we talked about that have come to meet directly that are not in that circumstance. i understand some of our homeowners in other places and things, but also, you know, talking about the children and the impact. >> go-ahead commissioner. >> i want to underscore that. we have a situation in this district where only seats that are available for midyear safety transfers, and students with i.e.p. tend to be at under enrolled schools, right? the over enrolled schools are full. if we believe that we want to create a mor more diverse schood have a student who, again, through no fault of their own but needed a different school in the middle of the year for note for any reason, it seems to be havi

i really don't know how i can fully address the concern of the board, except to say that the board has noble powers to prevent a very bad outcome that is not intended by this legislation. that's why i'm coming forward. >> president fung: you've been in front of this board many times. the noble powers doesn't necessarily stretch as far as we may think sometimes. >> well i could present to you the permit information, and present to you the information of this year wallace and tiedowns, and floor diaphragms being required -- >> vice-president swig: duffy recommended you get a determination in rating from the department of building and inspection. that would be the best route here. >> i will do that. >> vice-president swig: is that agreeable? >> that is agreeable, yes. >> president fung: do you need a continuance? >> i will not be able to do that today but i will need a continuance, please. thank you. >> commissioner lazarus: ok. >> president fung: a move or a continuance. further questions? >> vice-president swig: no. how much time with they need, right? how much time would you need? >> a

>> what's the major reason why you would want to be serving on this board? >> sure. what i feel is this is a community within san francisco that we have a rare opportunity of building from the ground. the programs that are in place for the treasure island give us an opportunity to work with our community to build the housing, the transportation, and all of the systems from its inception through to watching that community grow and house families for our community. i'm very excited about that. it brings both my skills for building and my love of my community to that role. >> how often are you with treasure island? have you made frequent visits? >> i've been on the island. i'm about to take a tour with robert beck, and i've become familiar in reading all the documents, the maps, and the progress so far. i've spoken with bob becker and getting at least the ground work, establishing ground work for my knowledge. >> currently, there are some residents on treasure island. what are some of the issues they're dealing with? >> from what i understand, there are the residents on

that is across the board. we have to be intentional about those strategies as we continue through this work. thank you. >> thank you. when you were hired, i remember there was a lot of scepticism about whether the district would be serious about doing something meaningful. and one of the great things that i've admired about what you brought to the table is really making more schools having to account for the practices that are happening at their schools. and i think one thing we need to keep in mind is, i know you know this, the public should really understand, and i know the superintendent does, this work happens at the classroom level. if anything, it will be truly transformative because of some of the things that mr davis was talking about, people are shifting their practice to make things, to make our educational experience to work for our most vulnerable students. as we see this report every year, we know we still have more to do. at the same time, we have, you know, these pockets of success that are happe
