yee. thank you. >> item p, consent calendar resolutions severed severed for board discussion and immediate action, that would be -- jill? >> thank you. i just wanted to -- i don't have a problem with this. what i do have a problem with is if you read the description here, you can tell this description was written by the people who designed and owned this program. and we had a similar issue with the teach for america. i understand that it is easy for our staff people to just lift the language out of the promotional materials for the people with whom they make contracts, i'm just requesting that we try review for that and try sk them not to do that. -- ask them not to do that. these are legal documents that we votes on and pass saying this is the best program there is. if our staff wants to assert that and ask us to vote for that, great. but it is clear that this is unrelated to their performance in this school district. it is more the description of the people who designed the program and t

president yee: aye. i would like to say that, although we passed this year, i am hearing enough interest on the board for next year, we may consider bidding again to see what kind of results we can get. then we can have a better dialogue around that. i would like to pass the facilities committee. to have some discussion on this issue. >> i know this was brought up in the building and grounds committee. i attended one of the meetings were this was the topic. it was just those committee members. it was and augmented meeting. maybe with a little more emphasis, this topic is coming. we are all very aware that this is the time to speak up and offer your suggestions. i think i might have been rolling through but i decided to sit and stay for the meeting. commissioner mendoza: i think it would be worth having this discussion, buildings and grounds. one of the things we want to consider is not necessarily reopening the position we cut, but to think about what position we do need. i do not think it necessarily ha

president yee: thank you. we will move on to public comment on consent items. just one speaker, president kelly from the uesf. >> thank you very much. congratulations, a new superintendent. and mr. garcia, congratulations on getting out with a bloodless transition. it is not something which are used to here, but it is something we appreciate. sorry. do you want this on general items? president yee: comment on consent items. you had it for k135. >> the item on page 135 is a matter of adding yet another law firm to the roster of 17 or 18 that you already have. it is encouraging that you will still keep the outside law firms and your use down to slightly under a million dollars, in addition to what you spend on in-house lawyers. the fact that you are adding yet another firm indicates you must have some other specialty that you are considering. it may be of interest to know what there is on your pocket as a board that is not covered by the other 17 or so law firms you already have, but makes it necessary to add ye

president yee: thank you. the next group that is going to present their scholarships would be the association of chinese teachers. >> good evening. i am currently the interim assistant principal at galileo academy and scholarship committee member for the association of chinese teachers. this is danny, our president elect. the association of chinese teachers raised $24,000 this year. we are proud to award 12 students scholarships to further their pursuit in higher education. seven of them are here today. the first is nancy chen from washington.

president yee: commissioners, any comments? commissioner wynns: i just want to think commissioners -- thank commissioner yee and murase. this has been going on forever. i appreciate the intention to make sure we get proper supervision, accommodate the independent study, and tried to do what we can do. we have discovered some glitches that were bought planned for. this is a way to fix this, and i appreciate it. thank you. commissioner mendoza: i have a few questions. on the top part of our second reading, it has some of the amendments that are not written into the -- it is written into the resolution, but i wanted to get some clarity. it says they must have bay certified jrotc instructor. then its said it would omit the requirement the new hires have the certification. can you tell me how? it sounds like one says you have to have a certified, and the next says we are omitting the requirement. president yee: the second part is that the -- i guess the idea is that there is supposed to be a commissioned officer and a noncommissione

president yee: thank you. the next report is from the augmented curriculum and program committee for june 4, 2012. reporting tonight will be vice president norton. vice president norton: at that meeting, we heard a report from the current advisory council on their community conversations regarding restorative practices. it was very informative. i encourage everybody to read it. i think everyone was given a copy. there really have done a great job meeting with falls all over the city, community members, parents, school staff, and talking to them about restorative practices, what they need to know, what it means to them, where the gaps in their understanding are. what kind of of resources do thy need to fully implement this policy. and the impression i came away with, there is a lot of interest -- they started to embrace this. there is still a need for more information and training. really absorption of what does this mean. it is a paradigm shift that has not happened yet. we will continue to work on this issue

president yee: thank you. commissioner murase: i had three points of want to make. first, could you repeat the dates and times of the public community meetings on june 18 and june 21? >> yes. those are the dates. monday, june 18 is at thurgood marshall high school, 45 conklin st. the june 21 is at everett middle school at450 church st. both meetings begin at 6:00 and are advertised to end at 7:00. we will see to it it might take longer than one or two hours to wrap up those meetings to it is and the budget office hours are on june 18. we need whoever is interested in that to contact us at budget@sfusd.edu to make an appointment. commissioner murase: and that website is also the e-mail address where suggestions for additional cuts or revenue- generating ideas should be sent, is that correct? >> that is correct. commissioner murase: within the city, the mayor issued a challenge where people were encouraged to think about, what are things that can be cut? where is their waist? where are their revenue- generating

president yee: roll-call please. >> thank you, president yee. the student delegates are in the back. never mind. president yee: please join me in the pledge of allegiance spirit -- in the pledge of allegiance. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. president yee: we're going to go to item eight. approval of the board met. a motion and a second for the special board meeting minutes of june 4, 2012. any corrections? roll call, please. commissioner fewer: yes. commissioner mendoza: yes. commissioner murase: aye. vice president norton: aye. president yee: aye. the next item is the superintendent's report. what are your thoughts tonight, superintendent garcia? superintendent garcia: not good thoughts. tonight, we are bringing forward the 2012-2013 budget. i wish i could be here to give you some great news. later on this evening, there will be a presentation on it. no matter how we try to slice this, how we try to

president yee: yes. six ayes. president yee: formal introduction before the board. reading of the resolution. vice president norton: you want me to read the whole thing? here we go. in support of funding initiative, where as the board of education has been forced to make budget reductions in the amount of $113 million, and anticipates cutting an additional $83 million, and where as two statewide funding initiatives have been submitted for the general election, and whereas one initiative is sponsored by governor jerry brown and supported by the california federation of teachers and all other statewide management organizations, including the school board association, and whereas the other initiatives in bond corp. debt reduction act is sponsored by the advancement project, civil rights attorney, and the parent teacher association, and by the california school board, and both initiatives would benefit schools by lessening but not eliminating impacts to districts throughout the state of california, and the current reductions for the school year will result in numerous p

president yee: ok. ruth, would you like to say a few words? >> i wanted to a knowledge the board, superintendent garcia. i staff the parent advisory council. my son just graduated a couple of weeks ago from all high school. i found out at the end of the semester that he was a classmate of chris'. so it was really exciting to see other students be honored tonight. it is a really exciting time in your lives. i appreciate you for moving of this item to appoint new people. i am going to say a quick thing, that the members of the pac are really excited to welcome our new, prospective members. we are excited because the folks that are coming on bring a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm, and are really active in their children's schools and communities. we are looking forward to that. i want to let you introduce yourselves. say your name and where your kid to go to school. >> my name is gaylin and i am a grandparent. i have three achievers at carper elementary. >> i am amy and i have two daughters at groton. >> i am john and i have one daughter who

president yee: thank you, commissioners. i also feel some of the things that commissioner wynns has said. i share some of those concerns and values. it would be nice if we could, in the public schools, be able to capture as much resources per child as some other entity. indeed, it either way you looked at it, we will do some -- i do not want to say damage. but some impact, in terms of how many kids will have in the public schools we are running for high school. those are the things. people have already mentioned that that is the case. but also, we have seen kids' track record, in terms of being successful. when i way out the tension between them, i come down to the side of -- if i really want and care about our kids, this is not the place, to provide public funding for kipp. you are supporting an entity. hopefully, some of the donors will hear this and say that these kids in san francisco are here, and all the kids deserve the help that any particular kids get from our charter. in the past, i have never been on the side of v

president yee: thank you. at this point, i want to call -- i have been told, or it was suggested, that we should have a vote on this item. i will not tell you who. hear me out on this, committee. it was so long ago, we forgot, you know? ms. haskell, roll call, please. commissioner fewer: yes. commissioner maufas: yes. commissioner mendoza: yes. commissioner murase: aye. commissioner wynns: yes. president yee: we were going to go jumping into the special order of business that is related to this, but i see it is already pretty late, and we have not gotten to -- excuse me. we have not gotten to the public comments yet. i would like to do that right now. this would be the item under public comment. i will call these names, who have signed up for this particular agenda item. yes, it is rough when we have lots of stuff to talk about. ok. michelle parker, macarthur -- martha aaron felt, patrick charles smith, maurice edwards, there is a shirley without a last name, oscar james, diana daniels, and that is it. how muc

president yee: yes. >> that's four ayes. president yee: the next item is under special order of business. entering into a new lease agreement with a nonprofit for the use of the sites located -- is there a motion? reading of the recommendation by the superintendent. >> good evening. nobody should have to follow a budget discussion or a discussion on jrotc, let alone both. this puts me in an odd place after summoning very serious discussions. before i go into this i want to personally say to superintendent garcia it has been a privilege to serve with him these past years and it is an honor to call you a friend. i wish you the best. some brief history before read the resolution. we are all aware that for a number of years we have been talking about what to do with this property. we turned around and had a discussion of anything other than child care. we embarked on a discussion with the city, we approached our own people who do not need it for child care. we selected a responsible provider who is compared

>> thank you very much president yee. talking about the needs for education and sustaining the budget just-in-time to look at this agenda and spot a couple of things of concern. one is page 79. we still have a 210 teachers laid off. this is not expanding money for recruitment, selection, training and ongoing support of teachers who are self identified as the most promising future leaders. these are the teach for america contrary -- cadre. you have 24 people who are going to receive some kind of support that is not at all explains. i do not know if they are each getting two thousand dollars or what they are getting. with people being laid off, if you aren't bringing in on credentialed people and you are paying to do that syria there are a couple of questions you need to ask. how many total teach for america teachers do you have in this district? how much are you paying for them? of those, how many of them have gotten clear credentials and have stayed here? what is the nature of the support your offering? is it pay? how is

president yee: let me -- let me back up a little bit. hold on. that discussion and if one person can supervise the activities of two sites, i gave the analogy -- while this is not new to our school district, when i look at our early education department, that a supervisor could be supervising two or three sites. when i gave that analogy, this is what we were after. >> can we clarify that each must have a supervising jrotc instructor who is certified to provide supervision, or something that shows that this person candy for two sites but clarifying this person is one neck and supervise. -- one that can supervise. >> the pace that -- page that commissioner menoza is reading from is just the background. it is important that the language of the resolution contains the wording that will get you to where you are trying to get. changing this is not necessarily going to ensure that the actual resolution contains language. commissioner mendoza: when this came out, we needed this discussion. i am honoring the idea i can have this discussion. i get this is

president yee: pastor charles smith. >> mr. president, mr. superintending, my name is sophie stockholm and i appreciate being able to talk tonight about substitute teachers. i have spent nine years in public schools with teachers -- in the past 12 months, at least keep it below -- two substitute teachers took a child away to safety. this incident was reported. my child was denied five full days of education because no substitute came to school that day. in the past few months, twice a substitute supported -- reported for work three hours late. there was no substitute available to take my oldest son's class after the parent was hospitalized. yet my oldest son who did not speak one word of english -- he only spoke chinese to their amusement and entertainment. yet we parents except to the decision of school enrollment and class assignment. all of the children are unable to give us a teacher for the day, denying us the right to check if they should take care of our children. as a parent, i am not even asking for quality but i expect legal babysit

president yee: thank you, deputy superintendent. commissioner fewer: i wanted to know, what were the instructions at school sites? last year, we had scenario a and b. are school sites given this same kind of, this is doomsday, but planning for this? last summer, the notification to switch from scenario a to b was a little bit late. there was a scramble to redo the schedule. i am wondering about the timing this year. >> we did not send two sets of allocations out this year. it becomes kind of confusing and hard to keep track of. last year, the state budget context was that there was a lot of speculation about whether the legislature would approve increasing taxes for it that was part of the governor's proposal, as early as january. there were months and months of speculation and political conversations about the assembly in the senate. we are going to follow the recommendation or that proposal by the governor. there were two votes short in both the assembly and the senate so that never materialized. all through the spring, that was a

as president yee pointed out, this has been discussed. this will be the third time. it was introduced for first reading to weeks ago on june 12 and -- two weeks ago on june 12 and the board held a fairly detailed discussion about the recommended budget last tuesday evening, june 19. my comments tonight are going to be fairly brief but i do want to share some important information about our staff's work since that meeting last tuesday and one or two developments about the state budget. >> are the differences between the first reading and second reading you give us? >> they're not differences in the specific budgeted amount for the various resources. there are some differences in terms of informational references, footnotes, clarification. some of those have been expanded upon. >> not now, can you send us a memo that tells us that so we do not have to -- [inaudible] the rest of the week? >> i do want to say on a substantive note, even though it is not immediately apparent from looking at that contents of the budget book itself, we have appreciated the feedback that the

president yee: ok. we are going to reverse that decision and have a presentation of the budget. >> ok, commissioners, back by popular demand, we will try to go through this, maybe some sort of compromise. we will hit the highlights and go through some of the information fairly quickly. some of it you have seen before. this will serve a couple of purposes. the first is to provide information to the board that you have not heard before. also, to provide information to the public that will be posted on our web site, as it always is. for people to have some semblance of stand-alone information. those things, i will go through quickly tonight and we can elaborate on the meeting next tuesday. i wanted to start with a set of guiding principles. these are similar to the guiding principles we have used for the last two years in the budget development process. i think that they are as important as they have ever been. i want to acknowledge coleman advocates for developing a lot of the thoughts behind these guidin

. >>> leeland yee is toughening his stance on perks for top executives. he says he's angry over reports that state money has been used to renovate eight university owned homes for cal state presidents. >> it ought to be devoting more and more of our money to our students, rather than to top executive salaries, benefits, all of the perks that goes with it. >> state senator yee is expected to introduce his idea to lawmakers at the capitol this week. >>> costco has agreed to pay $3.6 million to settle a lawsuit over allegations it mishandled waste. they violated laws on safe storage and disposal of pharmaceutical waste. officials say once costco was notified of the violations they quickly complied with regulations. >>> a spill was caused by drilling accident. up to 3,000 barrels of crude oil seeped into the atlantic ocean. the amount of the fine should be announced later this month. >>> bill martin joinses us once again from the weather center. he's tracking pretty strong winds out there. >> the winds have come up. the showers have ended. we're looking forwa

[applause] >> good evening. as we celebrate the contributions of some very important figures in our history, who have contributed to the development of our country, every state, of this great city, as we honor the achievements of the congressmen, ongoing contributions, and our mayor in san francisco. each of us could not be doing the work we are doing, that we have done, without the doors of opportunity having been opened for each of us. making sure we are developing the leaders of tomorrow as part of the integral programs of leadership development and civic engagement. the internships program is designed to prepare college students to become our future leaders. by providing them with the opportunities to work with government agencies, they develop their leadership skills, public policy experience, and broaden their civic engagement. they have demonstrated a dedication to the community, and they will continue in their engagement by working p
