yolanda. yolanda. ryan. for any new board missionaries in superintendent and. seems none of them had a hand leader. and i'm calling in tonight just to implore the board to ensure that we have equitable access to resources. and regardless, instructions throughout every public school, within the failure to have rigorous discussions throughout the entire district has created a this environment that you see right now of a wave of racism and it has to be dealt with no family should have. to i'm sorry, i'm getting off the word, but the board needs to be a supportive environment for everybody. and the policies need to be in place to ensure that everybody coming to the board needs to be supported and feel engaged. no one group to be able to allow a special privilege to make others feel uncomfortable. well, thank you. thank you. hope . good afternoon. as a mother of an incoming pre-k, it's disheartening to see this space of where where we're trying to develop spaces for parents that are coming in that don't know the history of the school district, continue to not have a safe space. and so again, challenging you guys that if you can't continue to hold rules for one group and not it's not safe, a lot of us don't even feel safe coming to board meetings anymore because you continue to allow and silence our voices by allowing people to yell at us, scream at us and make us feel unsafe. so it really needs to be addressed that every parent should feel welcome. despite your voices or how you feel about certain things that you as leaders are responsible for making a safe place for all of us and for our kids so that we can be active partners in this work. we can't do this in a community and encourage parents to be a part of the work and partnership. if you're not going to uphold that same practice that each and every child, each and every parent, each and every value and voice mattered in this space. and to create the space. thank you. hope thank you. tracy . i. you hear me? yes we can hear you. good evening. tracy uyghur here with justice san francisco on behalf of the coalition of labor and community groups who want to see a robust school board to gain widespread public support for the bond proposal must include key priorities, including upgraded hvac and electrical systems on site kitchens. transparency accountability and equity provisions, and strong labor standards for construction. the district's facilities improvement plan is a long list of necessary improvements, but it doesn't contain a long term plan for how to actually complete these improvements. and it makes each bond cycle a band-aid without any plan to stop the bleeding. we urge you, the commissioners, to instruct district staff to develop a long term facilities improvement roadmap by june 2024, the district must show its work and detail timelines, budgets and proposed revenue sources to make critical upgrades over the coming decades. with this, we can design a large enough school bond on the november ballot that inspires confidence and keeps us on track to make critical upgrades. and the longer we wait, the more it will cost and the more student and educator health and safety will be compromised. thank you. thank you. tony. good evening. my name is tony hines and i'm an pack leader. and i was hoping that this board would focus on equity for all. why are you not following the guardrails to help all of our students succeed so every child can learn and every family can feel welcome. the process today has been unequal, inequitable, and frankly, just sad. please get it together. and i'm glad to see those signs are down again. that makes me personally feel unsafe. i'm a brave person, but i do not want up here. go sign there. going up the sign just so disrespectful. i can't even really eat and watch this. i to not eat and watch this board. thank you so much. thank you. you gotta keep the signs now. caller ending in eight, seven, six caller ending in eight seven. yes, yes, we can. oh, wonderful. thank you so much. i'm an alumni and an employee of usd and listening to the presentation by superintendent wayne that was quite upbeat to be able to portray the ongoing payroll fiasco which one way also called wage theft as moving into a non crisis state. i want to point out that staff has never been asked if this is asking variance. and to date in including in the uss tentative agreement usd is represented by the superintendent have yet to commit to making current and former employees whole and going forward neither and how you prove myself by no more than people that i'm comfortable with to continue to have a ticket ghosted essentially some in the last week some in the last month, some have been out for years. when people are harmed, they need to be heard. they need not to be gaslit. so the presentation may be cute, but to heal and have reconciliation, we need to listen so unified, take accountable for making staff, including staff do less over this board. thank you. thank you . rachel. okay hello. my name is dan. my spacex and my committee member. i'm a measuring, measuring and test specialist. i work on large scale assessments like the national assessment for educational progress, other state assessments. i just want to encourage the board to not to consider a large scale state assessment as a measure to judge students, for instance, to know those are developed specifically to look at large systems like a school or a school district. how they're doing and how to improve, not to look at individual student. and they're not accurate enough for making that type of judgment. i would encourage you to use teacher feedback recommendations, grades, gpa, school based measures. if you want to be more equitable in accepting students of that that deserve building to a specialist program. and i encourage support to adopt measures to make improve school district. thank you. lashawn. hi, my name is lu. i'm a community member. i'm a mother of school kids in public school. i'm also asian and chinese american. i want to encourage the school board to really think about what san francisco stands for. san francisco stands in this country as a beacon of hope of bringing equity and diversity and inclusion for the rest of the country. we are we doing enough at the school district level and my children can definitely benefit from a more diverse environment. so i really encourage you guys, when you're thinking about bold initial policies, are you doing enough to make it less stringent and setting up hurdles to prevent black and brown children from entering and enriching our children's educational environments?
