>> wynn: oh, sure.ind of look like little... i mean, cute little blobs. but they can't do all the things that a... an older child can. they can't even do the things that a dog or a pigeon or a rat can. >> stahl: no pulling levers for treats or running mazes for these study subjects. but they can watch puppet shows, >> wynn: up goes the curtain! >> stahl: and wynn is part of a new wave of researchers who have discovered seemingly simple ways to probe what's really going on in those adorable little heads. >> wynn: up goes the curtain! >> stahl: we watched as wynn and her team asked a question that, 20 years ago, might have gotten her laughed out of her field-- does wesley here, at the ripe old age of five months, know the difference between right and wrong? wesley watches as the puppet in the center struggles to open up a box with a toy inside. the puppy in the yellow shirt comes over and lends a hand. then the scene repeats itself, but this time, the puppy in the blue shirt comes and slams the box shut.

were walking in we do have copies of the previous presentation, and the documents that commissioner wynns was referred to, it is in a question and answer format, from the discussion primarily from the discussion that the board had in the budget and business services committee last tuesday. so all of that information is available for the community members who are present to avail themselves of. >> so this is just a very, it is not meant to be a recap of all of the discussions that have taken place so far. but just to frame some additional information and some highlights about the big picture of the state's budget and also, the district budget, right now, where we sit and where we think we might be headed in the near future. and so we want to start with kind of on a syterical note there was an apt cartoon that appeared in the sunday chronicle a couple of sundays ago and it was on two sundays ago in the opinion page and this maybe only a nerd could appreciate this but i thought it was hilarious. so this shows that the governor's education budget is putting a drop of water in a canyon that dr

. >> wynns. >> aye. >> norton. >> aye. >> seven ayes. >> >> isn't eric showing up to sing for tom? >> we are now going to move on to item i, board members proposals there are none tonight and we already took the request for the speak regarding general matters, item k, the reports to the advisory committee by board members there are none tonight, and item l, special order of business. i am going to call to order, the annual budget plan for special education, may i hear a motion and a second? >> moved. >> second. >> thank you. >> and may i have a reading of the recommendation by the superintendent or designee. >> i am going to ask dr. blanco to come forward and read. >> you can just read us the requested action which i believe is quite brief. >> the requested action of the board of education of the san francisco unified school district convene a public hearing and adopt the annual budget and annual service plan for special education. >> nicely done. >> okay. i have several speakers signed up for this item. robin hansen has left. mega and katie franklin, two minutes, each. please. >>

wynn, when contacted by the a.p. on his boat off abiza, he said, quote, we were sanguine, we never paid any attention to it. we had no exposure. it was a nonevent except for the damn newspapers, steve wynn said. back to you guys. >> quote/unquote. >> yeah. >> yeah. just confirming that. because you don't talk like that. thank you, jane wells. >> by the way, have i mentioned i got the new blackberry finally? >> the z -- >> the q-10, it has the real keyboard. >> oh, yes. >> look at that. fancy. who knew? >> i like the keyboard, though. it's what i've been waiting for. >> and i do, too. i think we're in the minority at this point. >> sadly. >> blackberry has been struggling. we're talking about the new q-10, paired with the z-10, which came out before the q-10 did, for some reason. i can't figure out why. and after last week's earnings for blackberry, the results and 30% stock drop, we're guessing that tomorrow's shareholder meeting will not be a pretty one. a current shareholder says that the sound you hear is the deat

>> commissioner wynns? >> i have a couple of items and i don't exactly know where to put the first one because they are the resolution food contracts and the food contract. so those, we asked that question that was asked and we got a written response in our budget question. so it is in the budget, we could discuss it in the budget or i could sever these contracts because these are the actual expenditures of those moneys. >> why don't we sever them now and if after the budget discussion if you are satisfied and don't need further discussion, you can just note that in the budget section. >> so they are on page, it is item 2 g, 136-25 c2, but it is all of the contract extensions it is a whole bunch of things but it includes these contracts that we just sever that whole thing? >> it is on page starts on 76. and it goes to 86, actually. >> okay. >> and then also, i would like to sever item 2 h, 136-25 b7 it is a yellow page about the, you know, it is about the special fund education for protection account page 8

. >> commissioner wynns? >> thank you. >> i want to thank you for the presentation this evening because i appreciate the new information and i have not seen before and i want to thank you for the answers to the questions and i want to thank you for all of them, although i do not think that they were adequately answered that could be and appreciate in particular that recognition that we have big pending questions that will help us to understand more how we budget the money, and how reeducating us. and so i appreciate that. and there are a couple of things that will delve me out. here is the... in part the answer to not exactly the question that he asked and i would like to say that everybody wants to know and where is the money going the more money that we have, and i totally appreciate completely that it is not anything like what the people are presuming that we have and so you know if you look in the newspapers it says with the implementation, the san francisco unified is going to go from $7,000 per student

so if the last slide just restates some of what commissioner wynns reported out that we do know that there are several juicy topics, this is not an exhausted list but some of the things that came up in the last couple of discussions that the board has had about the budget, that we really are looking forward to supporting your policy discussions and providing lots of inking and details and so these are just a few, the lcsf and the transition and the old of the issues that have been mentioned a few times about the central verses site-based resources and decisions how to make progress towards implementing a 7-period day in the secondary schools and other aspects of the mtsf that over supercede the central verses the side based question, and on that last note, i do want to point out that the materials that were available that are available do include a lot of details at the site level about the mtsf resources and so that is it for our slide presentation and if the commissioners have questions or additional questions, we are here to respond. >> >> mr. haney >> i have sort of a big picture

>> commissioner wynns? >> this is a little bit backwards, so this will be i will not need to do the question with the revolution foods i would like to ask this. in answer to the question about revolution foods or the food contracts in general and about the sand f budget i would like to clarify a few things if i could. so, your answers to the questions was really complete about the things that contribute and the specific questions that were asked about ordering verses claiming and the unpaid meal charges, some of these things i am not happy with and as i know that you are not either. with them actually going up. and the things that contribute to the need to have support from the unrestricted general fund. but there are just a couple of things that i want to clarify about that. one is that the fair, you will see the assumptions on which the s, and s, budget for the 13, 14, budget is based about the participation and the food costs and things like that, and so there is a 135,366 dollar presumed commodity for t

. >> wynns. >> aye. >> norton. >> aye. >> seven ayes. >> i am sorry miss ly did you have a question? >> do you want to say something superintendent? >> i just wanted to congratulate our commissioner haney and the board. this speaks to the very heart of who we are in san francisco. and when the children walk through our doors we don't care what their immigration status is, we don't care where they come from or where they have been what we care is that they are going to graduate with options i want to thank you for putting the resolution forward. this is something that we can all stand behind and what is cool about this is that we live every single day so thank you. >> could you just ask, could we put all of us put our names on it. >> absolutely. >> thank you for doing that. >> then we will move on to item s. board members reports. of >> commissioner will you give us a report? >> comes on to our sight and have a uniform way to do that. and then we had a report from building and grounds and it was a report on the summer of 2013, facility and bond construction projects and there were a h

so this is dan wynn, let me tell you about what dan did. so on september eleventh, at 4:57. public safety safety dispatcher received a call from a 14-year-old girl named tiane saying that she needed medical help for her mother and verified the address and her phone number and provided her with medical instructions. and stayed on the line with tanani and kept reassuring her that help was on the way. and compassionate tone helped tani remain calm and assisted her in providing assistance to her mother. unfortunately she and her family were unable to join us today but we do have this fine public servant representing the good work of the city that we are going to celebrate and we are going to take a moment again to hear the tape played so we hear a little bit of his work and what we are celebrating. >> do you have an emergency? >> tanin >> is the bleeding stopped or still going? >> i am not sure. feeling really tired and a lot of pain. >> and so, how hold is the patient? >> how old is the patient? >> he is 32. >> okay. >> is he awake? >> i think that he is... >> okay. is the brea

commissioner wynns? >> sure. well, we had a great budget meeting because everyone was there and it was an augmented budget committee meeting and it actually was the public hearing on the proposed budget in advance of our vote this evening. and so, i will, we actually have and maybe for the public, i will just, identify the areas about which questions were asked and that we have gotten answers not all of which are definitive but rather should add to our discussion this evening about the budget. >> and so with it, the following subjects were raised by the board and one is the new proposal multitiered system of support and more information on how that is going to work the increase in costs for special education and special ed transportation. what the spending plan is for the new common core state standards and revenue stream that was in the state budget, issues about the rainy day reserve and how the eligibilities are calculated in our continuing eligibility for the rainy day, money from the city. and issues about t

i think that commissioner fewer and wynns did an admirable job of answering that question. >> what do they use that for? >> well, i think that is a good point in that there are some ongoing costs that as a matter of doing business, step and column increases and the cost of reducing furloughs and the deputy superintendent lee talked about the increase in the skyrocketing cost of benefits and those are costs that just it sounds almost unwheming to say, it is just a cost of doing business, period as an entity. so those costs are embedded in the costs that you will see embedded in the budget but i do think that it is probably a good idea to take the page that you have referred to commissioner wynns and have lee just very briefly make some points about some of the items that are listed there because they also illustrate in the budget book. >> i just want to say that the pages that were just referring to and because of their sort of technical nature and i will elaborate on this in a moment. >> basically this information was in order to respond to a couple of requests that commissioners had
