i am here to encourage the san francisco unified school district to have more of a relationship withus as we would like to promote african-american history that relates to the city of san francisco. we actually have already started this course. we did the first ever commemoration in this city last year. we had to the next one coming up on the 18th of november. as well, it means we can partner with the other black history tour, february around the city, and the actual district by itself is african-american history. how many people -- in the financial district is a testament. giving us our tours, there are monuments around the city that are historical sites for african americans and i believe this is low hanging fruit for the san francisco unified school district and it is fun. so our first project we are working on is continuing the commemoration that is coming of november 18th, and we would like you to work with us on that first, and overall, i just think it is some cool stuff that we could do together. thank you.

back in august 2018, the board of education here at san francisco unified voted to set an lpac score of 3 as qualifying for criterion 1. in november 2018, the board of educations approved new cut scores for the lpac, and schools were asked to use the new scores moving forward. they did not have to retroactively apply them. as you'll recall, in december 2018, the department of justice asked us to change our coding midyear, we had to use an lpac score of 4 or higher. in may 2019, we drafted a proposed reclassification criteria for the following school year, and it was vetted by several stakeholders including the district english advisory learning council, and various other working groups within the district including our working groups with research planning and assessment and also the superintendent's office. again, as a reminder, the various english proficiency assessment was called the fesh, and the point of showing both of these is there are more scores on the current english language proficiency than the s.e.l. under the s.e.l., a qualifying score was considered a 4 and a 5, which

[cheering] nearly 3,500 san francisco unified school district graduating seniors put on their caps and gowns and accepted their diplomas, ready to pursue their dreams and their goals. i like to congratulate each and every one of them on this accomplishment. i'd also like to congratulate all of our elementary and middle school students who were promoted to the next grade level as well. [applause] >> the school year has come to a close, but there many ways learning can continue. it is essential that children keep learning through the summer months. most children will lose some of the skills they developed through the years if they don't continue to practice them. this is referred to as term -- summer learning loss. our district summer schools are offering a variety of ages and it is really critical for high schoolers who may need credits to graduate and prepare for college. council -- high school councilors have worked with students and families to register students for high school credit recovery courses and four additional studies for college credit with the city college of san francis

we do that stay under the unified strategic command. sen. reed: dr.lese, in your response to the city's a.p. q, operational decision on satellite should not be made by the commander of u.s. space command, but by the nro director even during a natural conflict. general raymond provides a different answer, stating he can see a time when we need to change the current status quo. can you both clarify where we have to head to have a court knitted response, particularly in a conflict situation -- coordinated response, particularly in a conflict situation? >> it is imperative we work together and train and work when we do endt up in a conflict situation, that we know how we will operate and who will operate and we have to do that together so i am committed, if confirmed, to working with general raymond and u.s. space command to make sure we have a court knitted effort, understand what each other's roles and responsibilities are particular -- depending on the situation we are involved in. stressful point, in a time, someone has to have the last word. you can

the requested action is the board of education of the san francisco unified school district approves a withdrawal from the school district rainy day reserve. the school reserve in an amount of $40 million, subject to the provisions of the charter language under proposition g. of november 20 -- 2003 as amended by voter approval of proposition see in november of 2014. proceeds will be used to support the cost of the salary add-ons provided to the districts bargaining unit in fiscal year 2018-2019 under the terms of the living wage for educators act which was passed in june 2018 by majority of the voters but which is currently facing a legal challenge. if there are any questions. >> thank you. i don't see any speaker cards for this item. comments or questions from commissioners? seeing non, roll call. >> thank you.

oakland unified has had 9 superintendents since 2003. that's roughly 1 new boss every year and a half. >>> the school board says this report raises important questions. we will use this report face these issues head on and improve how we operate. >>> our time is 4:14. there are now plans to cover up a controversial mural at george washington san francisco high school. people on both sides whether to keep the mural and is considered historic or cover it up because it has racist themes. and the public was given time to speak out before last night's vote. >> the people don't want to see unpleasant or potentially offensive images. >> when i went to school every day i had to walk into the entrance and look at those murals. it was wrong. it was dehumanizing. >> the school board says it will cover that mural with paint or panelling. it will cost about the same amount. board members say the final decision hinges on how long each project would take but it will be at least a year before the mural is completely covered because an environmental impa

we need to unify notjust the party, not just parliament or the party, but we need to unify the countryntempt for politicians if it isn't a good fight. democracy is at risk. so it is game on. boris johnson may be odds—on favourite, but for some members it is still all to play for. climate change protesters have disrupted the chancellor's annual speech to bankers in the city of london. a number of women dressed in red held up proceedings for several minutes as philip hammond began to speak. when he got back on his feet, philip hammond warned against a no deal brexit and said the next my minister may have to consider a second referendum. here is our economics correspondent. it could be philip hammond's final appearance at this annual event, and the chancellor got more than he bargained for. emergency! you've made your point. climate protesters removed, it was onto another potential disruption, of a no deal brexit. we cannot allow ourselves to be forced to choose between a democracy and our prosperity, and if the new prime minister cannot end the new prime minister cannot end the deadlock

of the military council well if they get caught i mean they are really fine and their morning will unify more than before around the 3 principles are going to peace see them on justice and now they are more unified and they have read that big plugger and that is the see 1000000000 government and only p.p.p. and government this is their demand and they are much more they're not moving a bit from it and they are more so even they are going through hardship of the weather and the fasting their mother and fasting that's still so much strong they are unified and they are determined tomake determined you see that they want for the civilian government. companies and independent justice system to ensure that nobody is over or beyond the low and also maybe 30 people a concrete people there are a continuation of the previous regime and all you know worried are you there is an interruption a well you know worried you talk about the unity and the strength and the numbers and the passion that people have but worried about what the army could serve as a threat that this could turn violent. let me tell

and then, that would be the start of what unified calls early college high school. so students would get their high school diploma and get most of their ge college requirements done when they graduate high school. so we're working on that one. >> what are your hopes for that to be done? >> we hope we come to an agreement with puc and this is -- we hope that we come to an agreement with the puc in 2019 and then again, we hope for the facility's bond, vote yes. and we hope. and then you have some construction time. >> well, that means a lot to me, because i mentioned to you early, my father went to a high school in pas pasadena and in hh school, he was getting a college experience and able to take some courses and that lead him to be able to envision himself in college when none of his family members had ever been to college and he eventually became a professor. so i'm excited about those partnerships, but i think those are opportunities for students to see themselves in places they may not normally see themselves. >> that's right. >> so thank you. >> thank you. >> tr

he is also a unifying candidate. somebody who can unify the country north and south, who can unify the urban areas and those town areas, too, somebody who can do all of this which is why iam who can do all of this which is why i am backing sajid. thank you, mary. let me ask you, on that unifying question, because it has been toxic, it has been divisive and it still is in many parts of the country. how is michael gove the man to unite the country? i voted remain in 2016 and in 2016i backed michael gove and the reason i did that is because michael gove was chairman of the vote to leave campaign, one of the biggest political campaigns in british electoral history. i believe and i think many of your viewers believe that the person who has to take the country out in a smooth and orderly manner must be either michael gove or boris. they were the ones that made pledges in 2016 and they mustn‘t just be given made pledges in 2016 and they mustn‘tjust be given the right, they must be given the responsibility to honour the elec

to maureen naylor, reporting on the new grand jury report, it is a scathing report on the oakland unified school district. here is maureen naylor. >> reporter: in a scathing report of the alameda county grand jury accuses the oakland unified school district of having a broken culture. concluding the district is not doing justice or a 36,000 students and 87 public schools. ray souza is on the grand jury. >> it is not you can point to one thing and say they did this wrong. it is pervasive. the board, the leadership, the management, the people that work there. >> reporter: the report cites a range of problems including mismanagement, favoritism, disregard for authority among mid-level management and a lack of accountability. financial instability was also highlighted. the grand jury finding oakland unified wasted millions of dollars, pointing to lack competitive business practices and poor contract management. one example, nine building projects halted because of overspending including the most egregious of construction project at fremont high school that was $51 million over budget. >> thes

these are the values that we teach our students each and every day here in san francisco unified andstrive to embody as educators. in fact, some of our school districts are exactly what she has dedicated her entire life to to persist through challenges, and to make sure that she stands for the rights of those most vulnerable in the community. [applause] >> here in this district, our vision is to provide the opportunity for every student to become multilingual and multicultural. multilingualism and multiculturalism are assets we aim to develop and nurture in our students. it is an essential part of the graduate profile as we prepare our students for the skills that they will need to be successful in this 21st century. we have over 70 language programs in our schools throughout the district. the schoolwide spanish immersion program here at this school offers students at least half of their instruction in spanish from kindergarten through to the fifth-grade.

day 9 of the teachers strike in the new haven unified school district today, the state superintendent of public instruction join the negotiations. >>with hopes of bringing the work stoppage to an end but as khan forcefully to call tells us the 2 sides are still far apart on salaries. >>in town from sacramento. state superintendent tony thurmond says the nine-day teachers strike at the new haven unified school district has gone on long enough. initially thurman planned on leaving the bargaining table at noon but instead he stayed several hours after sometimes you got to keep on going and here we are it will be back we need to be back negotiations between the bargaining team of the new haven unified school district and the new haven, teachers association began at 11 o'clock in the morning. >>at the alameda county office of education in hayward but before the 2 sides met collectively they met individually and don't have any direct influence over this district or any of the 1000 dishes in our state and so i'm not sure what people's expectations were invited me to be here and glad to be in

the opportunity is high and right, honestly, for unified sanctions to force diplomacy.ctions. that's one thing they are discussing at the g20. how receptive do you think that our allies will be, because before they were angry that the u.s. pulled out of the agreement. i mean, i think for financial reasons, because they wanted the business that they could get from iran, but now given the point that we are at, how receptive do you think our allies are to presenting a unified force? >> i think more, and the reason is this. again, perspective is very important. this nuclear agreement with iran essentially legitimizes a future iranian nuclear state, and what we have said from the beginning, what president trump and his team have said from general mattis to john kelly to mike pompeo and john bolton, have said this is not going to stand. we are not going to allow a nuclear iran. so if you believe that as the most important end game, you have to back that up. we're at a point now where the european allies i think recognize that really, the iranians never intended to do more tha

the history shows that wherever iran is on the pressure or on the threats they will react in a unified way. having victory by a military victory by united states in other words despite a massive firepower is literally impossible so i assume there is a confusion in the white house about to what extent they can continue this kind of irrational threats how iran will react are they likely but what what might iran the next step be because they have now said that there was a manned aircraft behind the drone that they shot down and they deliberately chose to to leave that aircraft alone does that suggest that the iranians might prefer deescalation at this point in time now that president trump has shown his hand well in the from the very beginning when they were they want they were actually advocating deescalation jacey puree and signature itself shows that iran has been willing for the escalations and he did give enormous amount of wristlets a concession the point is even when you read the cultivations from the leaderships in iran you can see they literally say they are not looking for any c

it has to be ugly before you unify. there's an authentic debate inside the party. to push the boundaries in terse ms of publi policie policies. others like biden want to be more centrist and focused on beating trump. once you get like that, trump will union fight democrats like no other person or dynamics in politics. >> what factors could be the deciding factor in this election? trump campaign manager said trump wants to win new hampshire, nevada and new mexico. joe biden thinks he could bring back pennsylvania. unpack this for us. >> i think a lot of those states that trump said he could win but didn't win seemed like stretches. hard to see him winning in new hampshire and mexico. i think it's going to come down to pennsylvania, wisconsin. i come from wisconsin so i have a bias there. if you told me today who wins wisconsin, that person probably wins the presidency or north carolina, which is always sort of in play. trump's getting clobbered by 8 to 10 points in some of those polls. >> and democrats are holding their convention in milwaukee. jim vandehei, i know

with the sfpud to protect the unified students at our locations? or is that something that we can discuss and explore -- i don't even know what the next steps would be for that. but i just don't want to be in a situation where a unified school district student runs into an issue at city college and then they don't get the same rights and protections that they should be afforded to if they were happening to be at a school. >> right. and it happens. and we are informed of it, but we don't have any guidance on that. so what i can do is -- i can talk to our officers too to find out what are the protocols at city college. i never would have been in a conversation of the safety measures, security, at city college. so it's kind of how you guys run that is up to you. but we can certainly -- i would be curious to see if there is any direction on when city college staff call the police. i don't know what their criteria is. you know, with respect to when we tell principals that you can call under these circumstances only -- i don't know what the guidance that

could he unify the parliamentary conservative party?hat is the issue here we have seen the divisions over the last three years. he is the only candidate really saying theresa may's deal is the way to carry on. is that honestly going to carry on. is that honestly going to bring together your party? look, let's put a choice out there to the party members. rory will go out and argue the case, the case that i think is right for the country and for the conservative party. but he needs to have the opportunity to do that. we know, increasingly, where the public is coming from. we know where party numbers are starting to move to, but they wants to have that debate, that choice between boris johnson and rory stewart. and mps have an opportunity, if they back rory on tuesday, to enable him to go forward and make that case. and i think he is very exciting figure that has emerged very quickly in british politics, and the longer he is in the race, the greater the chance he has got. he is the candidate, as i say, who could pull off a surprise. we kno

we need to unify not just the party, not just parliament or the party, but we need to unify the countryybody will feel content for politicians if it isn't a good fight —— contempt. it is game on butter borisjohnson might be odds—on favourite but for some members, it is still all to play for. alex forsyth, bbc news, loughborough will stop let's return now to our political editor, laura kuenssberg. what do the next four weeks hold? brexit will obviously be the dividing line between the two men, not between they have different views on leaving but they clashed over whether, as borisjohnson believes, we should leave on halloween whatever happens, or whether you can be a bit more flexible on the deadline if it means we are more likely to get a deal which is wherejeremy hunt is. in terms of their temperament, i think it will be a very interesting race. they are two very different characters even though they have both done the same job as foreign secretary. borisjohnson, if you are being diplomatic, has a reputation for focusing being diplomatic, has a reputation forfocusing on being diplomati

we are here for a unified reason. nation, for of our the sake of our nations standing in the world and for the sake of the america that we pass on to our kids and grandkids, we are here to make sure that donald trump is a one term president. it's more than just beating him, though. it is rejecting the behavior he is normalizing. misstatements, dividing us by race, gender, biogeography. twitter tirades and temper tantrums. we now expect more out of our preschoolers that we do the president of the united states. this election is about rejecting crony capitalism. a trillion dollars of stock buy backs didn't go to you and me. thanks to the tax cuts, the crew cleaning up will pay more in taxes last year than companies like amazon and chevron. our effort is about making every american know that our economy and our democracy will work for them that no matter who you are, where you came from, how much money your family has, you have a fair shot at that american dream. but first, we've got to win. 2016 i was the only democrat
