Schools responsible for designating the daily e. L. D. For students, providing additional training and coaching for teachers implement successful strategies for integrating e. L. D. In the classrooms, to better facilitate the classification of e. L. Students with i. E. P. S once they become english fluent, inform parents on the importance of monitoring reclassification, their childs progress towards achieving english fluency. And exploring the possibility of developing an individualized reclassification plan system modelled after the individualized Education Plan i. E. P. Program which would define personalized objectives for english language learners who are on a path to become reclassified, set a timeline around expectations around becoming reclassified, order updates on a timeline surrounding students reclassification, and identify any accommodations, resources, supports or curricular opportunities intended to help each student reach their individual goals. And 15, promoting the Community School model mirroring those in the Mission District at schools with high concentration of lowincome latinx student populations and in close partnerships with communitybased organizations. These models follow a two generation approach that follow parents with Capacity Building and support services and they can be implemented by data driven teams, family coaches, and Mental Health consultants. And 16, make available culturally competent support by encouraging students to pursue partnerships with communitybased organizations that can provide education guidance and financial opportunities for students. Further be it resolved that the board of education will enhance accountability for the opportunities being delivered to all latinx students by establishing a Community Advisory board. The sfusd Latinx Community council comprised of latinx parents, students, and Service Community members as well as internal body, the Latinx Internal Oversight Committee comprised of leadership from the superintendents cabinet and other leaders from sfusd to effectively target invention programs and opportunities for latinx students. And be it further resolved that the committee will be charged with identifying and implementing the afore mentioned ideas and strategies, and it will inform the board on opportunities and situations impacting latinx students and parents. The council will advise the board of education and the superintendent on these various issues and priorities in order to guide sfusds actions over the course of each school year as well as the strategic actions of the internal Oversight Committee. And be it further resolved that the Latinx Community council will receive a data report from the district starting in the fall of each school year that tracks indicators on latinx students such as enrollment, transitship and student demographics, met and unmet student needs, percentage of students placed in special education, students identified and placed in gate, percentage of homeless students, percentage who leave the students, percentage of students ready for kindergarten, percentage of students ready for high school, f. M. P. Scores, e. L. A. , science and math and c. L. A. Score is, uccsu eligibility, for hour cohort graduation rates, percentage of graduates in twoyear and fouryear colleges, average instructional time, suspension rates, Early Warning indicators, percentage receiving free and reduced lunch, recruitment of latinx educators, percentage of latinx educators in the district. Were almost done. And then, were going to read it in spanish no, just kidding. I was going to make that joke. And it is in spanish, so its online. Be it further resolved annually the superintendent with the support of the Latinx Community council and the Latinx Internal Oversight Committee will prepare and present with the used a stude sfusd a report and consistent with the data provided to the Latinx Community council will include statistics relevant to the pk16 academic and socioeconomic performance of the latinx population at school sites across the district. The retention and recruitment of latinx educators, and student Participation Rate in programs, outcomes of students in these specialized programs compared to their peers, dedicated staffing around latinx student achievement, an opportunity for professional development, instructional materials to support latinx students and other School Quality indicators, including hardtostaff classifications, student mobility and teacher turnover. The report will also feature an equity overview of how district funding streams like local control dollars and peef formulas are reaching students, a summary of students, teachers, and Community Based organizations that are accelerating outcomes for latinx students and an outcome of all existing interventions targeting latinx students with accompany details, e. G. Information on staffing budget quantity, the number of students served and student outcomes. Further be it resolved annually, the superintendent will take into consideration the ideas when preparing the sfusd annual budget and each year, sfusd will quantify the level of funding devoted to targeting interventions for latinx students in the prior fiscal year and compare that to funding decisions for the coming fiscal year in order to retain effective programs and services. Be it further resolved that sfusd will work collaboratively with San FranciscoLatinx Community, the mayor, and the city and county of San Francisco, the united educators of s. F. , seiu 1421, faith base institutions, higher education, the Business Community and latinx owned businesses and parent and student groups in order to align efforts and amplify Effective Work across all sectors. Lastly, sfusd will commit to maintaining senior staff tasked in their scope of work to provide targeted support to latinx students until the racial opportunity and achievement gap on academic and behavioral measures has been eliminated.

Im a leader of the community and also a leader in innovative Public Schools. [speaking spanish language] so shes mentioned that shes noticing the test scores of our latino students are quite low compared to other groups, and so much so that our students are not being fully prepared for college. [speaking spanish language] so shes mentioning although specifically she doesnt have any kids that go to sfusd, she does have grand kids that go to missi mission, a granddaughter, and shes seeing her struggling compared to other kids, as well. [speaking spanish language] and then last comment, so shes mentioning that this resolution is highly important to her to give attention to latinx students so that they can be fully prepared for college. Yeah. Gracias. [applause] [speaking spanish language] my name is jessica, and i am a volunteer with innovative Public Schools. My daughter attends San FranciscoPublic Schools. [speaking spanish language] thank you, gabriella, for your leadership and for listening to our community. We really appreciate you coming to meet with us and listen to your concerns. We are really excited to collaborate with you. [speaking spanish language] i also have two other daughters who struggle because they were labelled as e. L. S and later became longterm e. L. S because they never got the support to get reclassified. [speaking spanish language] this resolution will commit San FranciscoUnified School District to monitor outcomes for latino students, close the achievement gap and commit teachers, community leaders, and students in the oversight process. [applause] [speaking spanish language] hi. My name is maria nunez. I have two sons, ben one in bu vistahorace mann. President cook just leave a little bit of space between the mic. [speaking spanish language] [applause] i just want to highlight that not all parents are going to be able to speak, so im asking them to stand so that you know were represented. [speaking spanish language] i would like to speak to you about the two committees that were calling to be formed in this resolution. These committees need to be given the information and support necessary for them to carry out data monitoring, and oversight functioning to enhance accountability for the services and programs of latinx students. The Latinx Community council, a Community Advisory body comprised of latinx parents, student, educators, students, and Service Providers to encourage opportunities for latinx students. We encourage that these are the two biggest priorities as we move this resolution forward. Thank you. [applaus [applause] [speaking spanish language] we are urge the district to provide clear guidelines and transparent process for the selection of members to the Latinx Community council, ensuring that the membership is truly representative of the different stakeholders that are mostly directly impacted by the districts effort to support latinx students. We want this Latinx Community council to look like the students that are in our schools. [applause] [speaking spanish language] my name is carmen rodriguez, and im representing bylen elementary. [speaking spanish language] to continue building on what my comrades have already said, to fully engage in the material and participate meaningfully in meeting, we urge the district to hire one latinx achievement oversight coordinator. This person would also be able to serve as the liaison between the Community Council and the Oversight Committee. Thank you. Both of my daughters are spanishenglish bilingual, from my perspective, but from the districts perspective, she is an english learner. I am here to speak on behalf of the resolution. There are many communitybased organizations clearly partnering with sfusd and i actually work for one of them and im proud to say it. And to support the latinx students and the families, reduce achievement gap, reduce barriers to achievement such as health and wellness and poverty and provide comprehensive college and Career Readiness support. This resolution commits the district to pursue more and deeper collaborations with these organizations. The Community Schools models are exemplified in the models that we might achieve. As a parent, i see the gaps that my kids experience in their schools. I am fortunate to be involved in their conversations and know what my child needs and how can i advocate, but im only, only one parent thats doing it, and theres a lot of parents that dont have the same capacitor understanding that we do have rights here, and we need to fight for them, and this is why im here in front of all of them so you can hear me and also hear all of the other parents, but also remember why youre there, is for our children which is the future for this country. Just every day you wake up, just remember that and keep that up front of everything you guys do in order to continue supporting our children and our community. Thank you. [applause] good evening, president cook, commissioners, and superintendent matthews. My name is efrain barreira. Im a proud sfusd graduate. Im speaking as a latinx parent of two district students and a member of the mission neighborhood. As a former School Coordinator i have worked closely with sight educators, staffers, and parent leaders to see what needs to be done to meet the needs of our students. Ive also seen the many ways in which our district is not meeting the needs of our latinx students. Whats powerful about the latinx resolution is that it creates a direct link and accountability between the sfusd and the community and its stakeholders. The resolution passed the superintendent and the district to take into account the priorities of both the Latinx Community council and latinx Oversight Committee when preparing the sfusd annual budget and quantify the level of funding committed to these priorities. Thank you for your support. Vice president sanchez before you begin, im going to read off some more names. Geraldine anderson, julia summers, julie robertsfung, maria villa luna, miranda martin. Thank you. So thank you for allowing us to be here speaking to you today. My name is eric quintos, and i am a latinx parent of two in the district as well as someone who works for one of the c. B. O. S that was named in the resolution and that was working with commissioner lopez to help develop it, mission graduates. I wanted to actually take my time here today to specifically call out one of the elements in here, which was around which is the the annual report that the district would be providing to the to the Latinx Community council, that student achievement report. We really think that this is going to be an important tool for this council to then be able to use some data driven to look at the data and come up with some data driven strategies that the district might be able to take into consideration in the following year. So i heard earlier that the budget for this current fiscal year might be affected, but that hopefully we can present through a data driven process that the and achievement report would facilitate a set of strategies that could be funded in the future years. And this is a really committed group of parents and im really excited to see what kinds of strategies they can come up with, including working to reduce the kinder readiness gap by pursuing more Early Learning opportunities and family transitions to kindergarten and also possibly studying that really interesting idea of the individualized reclassification plans. Who knows if that can be something we can implement, but those are two examples of the kinds of things that would be strengthened by the report that the district would be presenting. Thank you. [applause] [speaking spanish language] hello. My name is Julia Miranda and i have three children at brian elementary. Im a parent leader with innovate Public Schools. I am very happy to be representing hundreds of parents from brian elementary here tonight. [speaking spanish language] im here to support the the resolution for latino students. Thank you, commissioners lopez and sanchez for your leadership and being champions to fight for our children. It was about time that people notice us. We finally feel value and we will not stop until these resolutions become a reality. [applause] [speaking spanish language] this resolution will provide guidance for committees for elac in schools to form ideas that will better support English Learners. [speaking spanish language] as elac parents, we will continue to increase our leadership in schools and uphold the latinx resolution to ensure that parents are represented in this process. Thank you. [applause] good evening. My name is debra summers. My im a parent and a p. T. A. Board member at harvey milk civil rights academy. My kids are in third grade and kindergarten, and im also an innovate Public School leader. Im excited to see that the board has created this resolution. Latino students represent the Third Largest population at our school, and as an ally, im happy that the district is committed to making sure all students have access to a high quality education. Thank you. [applause] good evening, commissioners, superintendent. My names miranda martin. Im the policy director for parents for Public Schools of San Francisco. Im here on behalf tonight of parents for Public Schools of San Francisco in support of this resolution. It complete aligns with our mission to support every sch l student in every Public School in our community. We know that many aspects of it reflect what weve been hearing for many years in both public and private listening sessions in both public and private learning opportunities. Specifically the fact that it involves a process for access to data thats specific to the outcomes for latinx students and really just for paying close attention to those outcomes. Also, the fact that there are oversight bodies that explicitly include parents, students, and Community Members. And finally, the explicit definition of Community Roles and Wraparound Services in making these improvements happen in the services that were able to provide this community. So i applaud all the efforts in bringing this resolution, drafting it and bringing it through the process, and were really proud to support it and look forward to being involved with the implementation. Thank you. [applause] hello, commissioners, superintendent matthews, and other honorable guests. My name is susan fong wong. Im the parent of three sfusd high school graduates. Ive also am a parent leader with innovate Public Schools, and i want to congratulate the district on this resolution. It is high time that a close look and deep dive into what needs to be done and thank you, commissioners lopez and sanchez on your very hard work in spear heading this, because i think that was the longest resolution ive ever heard, sitting through many meetings here, so thank you very much. And i think im not going to repeat what a lot of other people have already said, but i think the most important part of that resolution was at the very end, proper funding and focus on what needs to be done. And i really think all the other things are great in there, but if theres not enough resources and focus and working together to get it done, especially working with the parents at the school sites with the leadership at each individual school, i dont think it could be done. And i really feel very strongly about the reclassification disparity between latinx students who are English Learners between, for example, asian students. The fact that the reclassification rate has gone down over the last five years and the disparity of latinx students being reclassified as half the rate of asian students really requires you to look closely as why that is the whats causing that and addressing it because i think it really has a big effect, but thank you very much. I support this. Thank you. [applause] hi. My names julie roberts. Im speaking on behalf of the close the gap resolution. Were happy to support the latinx resolution. Were heartened that its taking a district approach at a school level, its looking at data, focusing on the whole student and bringing together stakeholders to come up with recommendations and solutions to put in the report and making the best uses of our district resources but also the resources in the community. So i look forward to supporting this resolution and to seeing that the membership of the committee reflects parents and organizations who are part of our Public Schools and committed to the success of our Public Schools. Thank you. [applause] hi. My name is mari again. Im representing sf families union, and i just wanted to say thank you so much to commissioners lopez and commissioner sanchez for being invested and writing this beautiful resolution. I loved when i first heard about you all writing the resolution and then calling and using the language of latinx. One thing i think is important to think about this resolution is theres intersections, so not calling the resolution latino, but latinx, recognizing there are men, women, and nonbinary folks of all genders under that spectrum, so i want to say thank you for that leading the way and making these huge moves for our Latinx Community within sfusd. I also want to say as our siblings who are south of the border with different indigenous blood, as well, i also want to highlight somewhere, i dont know how this would be known, but we have a huge mayan just within San Francisco but within our contradi school district, so thinking about those Indigenous Students that might fit in latinx, but also their indigenous background. To really think about this community thats even more underserved than the American Indian community, as well. Thank you again for amazing leadership and all the amazing resolutions ive seen you come up with so far this year, and again thank you for the free child year for my kid who are sitting happily and not running around and destroying anything in your room. Thank you very much. [applause] president cook that concludes Public Comment on the item. Any comments from the commissioners or the superintendent . Commissioner lopez . [speaking spanish language] [applause] commissioner lopez so this resolution, first and foremost, was lifted and driven by Community Members and the majority of them are in the room now. I was simply invited to participate, and i am so grateful for that. The language and the heavy lifting was done by by all of you who are here, and i think that is the point of the resolution, to ensure that we are making decisions that are data driven, that are community driven, and and we did that throughout this process. It began april 1, so this is an 8. 5monthlong resolution, which is why it is lengthy, but the work and things that are being called for goes beyond this months, you know, this is something that has been asked for for such a long time, and i feel very honored to be able to connect families to the work that we are doing and to really help them be a part of this process and help hear from those narratives and those families who are affected by the work that we are or are not doing. So money can always be an issue in education, and essentially, what the resolution is calling for beyond that, even though it deserves everything, is ensuring that the district uphold the work that we are doing for this community specifically. So all of that can be done and will be done with the council and the committee that will be created through this resolution, but making it something that is not just what we pass and say were going to do, but actually implement and give it the attention that it deserves for this community that has been asking for this for so long. I know that ive weve had a lot of support from my colleagues and excitement from commissioners and from the community, so i look forward to implementing it, passing it, and working closely with the people who created it and brought it to life. Thank you. [applause] president cook commissioner collins . I just wanted to reiterate that i appreciate both commissioners sanchez and lopez, but the Community Members, the work that youre doing, and i look forward to partnering with you and other staff and commissioners on the board to make sure that were realizing the language in the resolution. Thank you. [applause] president cook miss herrera. As a latina in sfusd, i want to thank both of the commissioners who came up with this resolution for latinx students. Im eternally grateful for the work that you put in. Eight months is a lot of work, and the fact that the resolution is so lengthy and its so detailed, and its Community Organizers who helped implement this, im eternally gratef grateful, too. [speaking spanish language] so im grateful for you guys, and so muchas gracias. Its sad well, its not sad, but it is sad that its my last year at sfusd. Im grateful that my cousins who are who just got to San Francisco who are freshmen and sophomores that are going to be supported with this resolution, so i am thankful that it is here for students, for generations that are coming after me, for my little nephews that are at buena vista, im so grateful that is going to help people that are coming after me. And also the fact, you know, when i was in elementary school, i had teachers i started off as an english language learner, and my teachers told me that i was not going to succeed in life and i was never going to learn english. Jokes on them, because now im taking a. P. English and im reading at a college level. I know that other students that were in my shoes that are also english language learners will be able to succeed because of this resolution. And because of that, i was hoping that me and jay could coauthor this resolution because were grateful for this, so thank you. President cook commissioner . First, thank you to commissioners lopez and sanchez for the work and the thoughtfulness and the Strategic Planning that has clearly gone into building such an amazing and comprehensive resolution and really doing it in conjunction with community. And i just want to just express just how inspiring it is to be here tonight to stand with you all, and just knowing just the amount of work that has gone on and frankly has gone on for too long. That is more than enough time that latinx students and the Community Get the support from the district. What i really connect, too, is the twogeneration approach that is really throughout the values and principles of this resolution, and that it is not just stopping at our responsibility of when students and families are with us from k through 12, that were really thinking from birth, through early education, all the way through a persons experience and career and workforce, and their own finding their passion in the world and how theyre going to be contributing to a broader society. So again, thank you. Excited to be a partner with you all, and also with our district staff. Im really excited about not only the implementation but really holding ourselves accountable to the oversight cause we know that strong resolutions and policies in general are just only as impactful as when it comes, the work really happens in the implementation, in the evaluation and the continuous oversight, so thank you again. [applause] president cook commissioner moliga. Commissioner moliga you know, one of the things that i went to when i was first on the commission was a funeral of a murdered kid. He was an immigrant kid, right . And you know, i was just sitting there, thinking, i was, like, man, you know, what are we doing as a district to be able to support and he was i think hes he was a student in this district. And so i also grew up in this city. I also grew up when, like, San Francisco was super diverse, and youd have all kinds of friends from hondurian, salvadorian, filipino, so it was like i grew up in that culture in San Francisco. So in my heart, im super happy that commissioner lopez and sanchez carried this forward. Its just, like, way overdue, like, you know, we grew up in a time where these kinds of things werent available for us. I grew up with latinx friends who some of them graduated from juvenile hall, right . Some of them didnt graduate at all, right . And some of them, you know, are not here today. And a lot of these kids have come through this school system, right . And so for me, you know, this is like this is like what were going to do, and then, also, like, what are we going to do after this . Like, the work needs to continue to happen, it needs to get funded, it needs to be driven by the community and our leadership, and i trust that our leadership is going to do what it needs to do to get this off the ground. But its a great resolution at the end of the day, so i want to just thank commissioner sanchez, and my Favorite School board commissioner, gabriella lopez. Thank you. [applause] [inaudible] i didnt know we had favorites. Hes starting a new precedent. Ill list my favorites. First of all, i really want to thank commissioner lopez. She carried this forward on the boards end of things, asked me to cosponsor. Im really grateful for that ask, but she really did the immense amount of work with the community in so many ways. Were so blessed in the city to have so many active and activated members in our community that will standup and help us do the work in this work. That is manifest, that people have come out not just to this meeting, but meeting after meeting after meeting to work not just with commissioner lopez but with others to draft this. I didnt read some of the clauses. Its even longer than that. But the thing that the word that really rings true to me the most is accountability, and thats what commissioner lam just said. We really need to hold ourselves accountable to whats in this resolution because its a community. The Latinx Community has not been forgeten, it was just never there in the first place. When i was principal at cleveland elementary school, a school thats 95 , 96 latino, if we had policies embedded in this resolution, we probably wouldnt have had one of the highest reclassification rates in the city. Its a scar on our record that we have such a high reclassification rate, and that hinders our students from moving forward and getting the education they need to be successful in our society. There are many things i could say more, but i just really want to thank everybody that worked on this, and commissioner lopez, and thank you to everybody on the board for hopefully passing this tonight. [applause] president cook well, ill let my favorite commissioner have the last word, so miss casco, roll call vote, please. Clerk thank you. Thank you. [roll call] clerk thats seven ayes. President cook congratulations. [applause] [chanting] [chanting in spanish] president cook and just to let everyone know, child care ends at 9 00 p. M. [laughter]. President cook number 7, im also going to excuse our student delegates. Good night. [please stand by] doctor matthews do you want to read the recommendations to the record. The director of policy planning, michael davis. Thank you, doctor matthews. Supervisors recommendation regarding one Purpose SchoolCharter Renewal petition. Authorizes to grant or deny petition for one Purpose School, whereas pursuant to california Education Code section 47607 submitted renewal to San FranciscoUnified School District. Whereas pursuant to california Education Code sections 47605, 607. 5, the board of education of the district received the renewal petition october 15, the district shall comply with alltime lines for review and action as requires by law. The board of education shall consider level of support and shall review petition and information received with respect to the petition including supporting documents and the district superintendent and staff completed review and issued report and recommendation to the board of education regarding review of the petition. I am going to take a little time to go through the staff recommendation. The board of Education Report for the superintendents proposal 191015sp one. The recommendation is denial everynewal of the one Purpose School charter proposed action remedy mile of the renewal for one Purpose School at 948 holster avenue for the five years beginning july 1 and ending june 30, 2025. Findings. So under the review criteria for renewal of Charter School petitions in california, the board is supposed to look at increases in academic achievement for all significant groups of students as defined in code section 52052. That shall be the most important factor. One other thing the board can look at in regard to academic performance is that the performance might be at least equal to the performance of Public Schools that the charter students would have been required to attend as well as academic performance of district schools the student population served at the Charter School. We did the review and the data indicate one purpose has not produced increases for the groups of students and not produced academic performance at least equal to district schools. So the recommendation is the staff recommends the board deny petition based on the following findings of fact. Increases in academic the Charter School failed to meet one of the criteria of academic performance has not produced increases for the students served not produced the performance at least equal to district schools. Two. It does not contain comprehensive descriptions of the charter provisionses in 4605b5 they are unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the petition. One purpose is a budget plan heavily reliant upon local fundraising revenues. I would like to provide clarification in a couple of areas. In regard to insufficiencies in the staff review. One of the things that we identified is that governing law requires renewal or material revision to include among other elements a reasonably comprehensive new requirement of Charter Schools after it was last renewed. We found that this petition did not include that reasonable comprehensive description. We have found this not just in this charter petition but in several charter petitions. As a matter of fact this was a finding made regarding the two Charter Renewal petitions this board approved november 12th of this year. Not only San Francisco makes this finding, other districts in the bay area make the same finding quite often because it is quite often left out of Charter School renewal petitions. So the response from the two charter petitioners that you approved november 12th when we made the finding was to provide a matrix that outlined that comprehensive description and the way they met the requirements of law. I have to say that in the report as written i state that the description is not there and i include a list of requirements that have been enacted since 2015 and state that it is not a comprehensive list but includes some that should apply to the school. N inadvertently i did include some that apply to grade levels that are not k5. That is a mistake. However, the list is not comprehensive and there are several that do apply that should have been listed in a matrix and presented to the district. That finding remains because instead ever responding by providing the matrix to show the charter knew about the requirements and had a plan to respond they simply said they were included somewhere in the petition. And as far as the issue of fundraising and the budget plan going forward, i did and i stated this in the Budget Committee hearing, i did review the Financial Reports as produced by the California Department of education for the first four years of the Charter Schools operation, and i noted that they had indeed met all of those lofty fundraising goals for those years and the staff found they had positive fiscal performance. Our finding takes that into account, but also looks at the fact that they have declining enrollment, dont really seem to have a convincing plan for reversing that decline and would continue to rely on 1 million each year in local fundraising. That might happen, it might not, but it is up to us to make sure we point out that is an issue of concern. That is my report. Thank you, mr. Davis. We have a number of people signed up for Public Comment. Then we will open it up to commissioners for questions. We do have 19 cards here. We typically have two minutes. If you could limit yourself to a minute. I am not going to limit you to a minute, i am asking you to limit to a limit considering the length of the meeting
