president yee: any other comments? norton? commissioner norton: commissioner fewer, i want to thank you for the courage you have displayed here. i came into the office today looking for any way that i could vote against this resolution. and justify a vote that i know will be deeply painful to the people that i consider supporters and friends. . and i was not able to find that justification today. first i thought that perhaps we could compromise by drawing the line around at a smaller number of schools, a set of schools that i feel as clear justification for taking the steps we're being asked to take. to say that schools as clearly defined, you know the schools, many of us are aware of the amount of money that has been given to us by the federal government to work on the schools, to improve the schools. we only have that money for three years, significant money, invested and professional development in the schools. i thought that would be a more reasonable compromise. and then i looked more closely at the list of schools and re

president yee: thank you, ms. cook. next speaker, please. thank you. >> i am here again due to the violence of the school. the principle is not doing anything about it. i was there today from 11:00- 2:00. i had to call the police at the school. this is so embarrassing how the school is a zoo and there is no authority. the principal is not even there. there is no one to talk to about my child to writ i send my child there to learn. whenever i have to do to get your attention, i will. i am sick of it. the teachers, i love the teachers, but when it comes to the principals, they have no authority to carry their needs to be something done. next step, we are going to be outside of that school. [applause] >> good evening. as you know, i have been an advocate for the bay view community, he gave you students, i have been a voice for them. important dates for the bay view community and the naacp. 1969, 1972, 1978, the naacp filed a lawsuit. from that lawsuit came a court order, mandate for the consent to creed. 48 years later, guess what? we are back

commissioner ortiz-cargagena: yes. >> commissioner yee riley? commissioner yee riley:. where he yes. >> that passes 7-0. president adams: great. >> commissioners we're going back to item number 5, discussion and possible action to make recommendations to board of supervisors onboard board file number 120083, planning code and zoning map, 9th street power retail special use district, 555 9th street. in your packets is your list of questions, some data for you, the legislative sponsor provided a list of square footage and then there is a description of the district, a map and picture just for any of you who need to become familiar with it. we have legislative digest and lastly we have the ordinance. supervisor kim's office was scheduled to present. they regret that they had a last-minute thing come up and they're unable to be here. if you would like to move forward, they did advise me that there is a representative of the property owner here. i don't know if you would like to begin with a presentation from them or if you would like to take that during public comment? pres

you have your hired gun over here, and john e. -- john yee. he will do it. skipping schools is flat-out wrong. i represent every one of those teachers. the teachers who will be skipped and those who will not be skipped. we are not asking for special favors. we are asking for equality for all of those people and justice for all of those. four board members to do it is wrong. proposing it is wrong. it makes the proponent no better than our need duncan -- arnie duncan, and the winners and losers this administration says it despises. stability in the zones is not achieved by the stabilizing other schools. professional development in these tunes -- zones is lessened when it is not available for the others. when you to social justice for some, you choose social justice for non-. to rely on benchmark tests, which you have heard referred to as "data," which have not been validated, is indefensible and is not even smart. the principal who stood here and told you he had to hire 15 teachers and then five teachers -- those were not because of layoffs. he admitted those
