Standards that asks our students to do much more complex thinking and as the board has taken a strong stance an decreasing the amount of testing unnecessary testing in our city halls that is an excellent example an archaic testing not in modern time i want to thank the staff for supporting that as well. Commissioner haney i want to say thank you to ms. Fewer for bringing this forward i remember this of the first brought about but i think without a doubt at the canyon core changes what we should be testing for 12 graders it makes that more irrelevant i want to make sure we a lot internally it seem like there is agreement we will like this is not an ascertainment sunshine we should be doing if were stoougz it has in the past superintendent evaluation and in other places where it is were looking at the process so we may move forward and want to access an indicator or measure if at all if the agreement on the board has wealthy so ms. Wynns. Thank you. Im supportive of this ive not been supportive it is one of the wrongheaded things thats irrational action that dates us because the feds says all students note a high school exitam so in the meantime the state should be commend for taking a much more realistic view of the value of testing and the request for another years suspension standardized test so i was going to ask whether we can put all our names. Commissioner is that acceptable. Ms. Norton our legislator advocate is the former 123ru7b9d that supported that so i wonder how he can handle our direction. Hes a stronger supporter of the exit exam so he works for the option. Roll call vote. Supervisor mcnamara mr. Chin ms. Fewer mr. Haney ms. Mendozamcdonnell ms. Norton mr. Walton ms. Wynns and dr. Murase. Wheres dr. Murase thank you thats 5 is all right. So im stepping in here moving on 0 sshlgs Board Members reports Standing Committee do we have a report from any of the board dlblts or board organizations . No other reports by Board Members a report by the committee as a whole february thats me one informational item our Digital Learning framework we heard really existing work in our district has been doing around extending a number of things one extending Computer Science standards k through 12 and developing those are standards and presenting a plan that will could. To the full board as to how well go about or about doing that and extending work around Digital Literacy and Introduction Technology into destruction and greater levels and the overall approach to keep that in mind how we make sure our students have access to the Digital Learning its happening all over the School Reports if the Legislation Committee ms. Wynns we have already recorded and taken care of the items two were on the agenda related to each other one to look at the perspective proposals im sure youre aware of they we have had two meetings one in january and one in february which was this week so white we didnt we have a review in john january of some legislative proposals that discussed recommendations with our advocates and also implored with them kinds of things the last couple of years weve seen the development that theres one or two issues that have in response to which multiplied legislation proposals and teacher evaluation and tenure issues although some bills passed and student discipline issues have come up this year one of the main things well tab is the vaccination with the measles outbreaks and one thing you may all know multiple organizations in california working with coming up with model with the sb a the superintendent and i are both members of the turn off all Electronic Devices which will be meeting in the middle of march for the first time so we have a meeting at our next meeting you dont know i dont have the date deputy well be this will be the meeting well have a long list of bills that our advocates will review all the bills and proposals that are pending and combed after working with our staff recommendations and things we mating may want to take positions on i urge you march 18 we urge you all to attend and make sure in didnt happen that had a you get the bill lettuce not an hour but a dye before the meeting ms. Castello it will be good to review this will be the long list of the bills well not be finished there is is amendments and things going through the committee the last thing the most important we both reviewed our own vaccination policies and also considered or discussions at least briefly a proposal that was in draft form recently ive handed out which would repel the provision in can state law it says that parent may send their kids to Public Schools if theyve not been vaccinated based on their personal belief so based on the Committee Decision it seems always through the members of the committee remembered this compel takes positions not only recommends to the board it seemed as though the members of the committee are prepared to support that proposal i do want to alert you all that we have relatively small percentage of unvaccinated acids at the San Francisco Unified School District and one of the comparatively speaking one the phenomena that is interesting we should think about the percentage of unvaccinated students especially those who are not vaccinated because of the personal belief seems to corelated to the affluence of the community not having kids vaccinated at the end not to be the kinds of action that our families take but i will tell you and youll all were provided with the materials it excludes our current policy it says that our vaccination policy is whatever is the same as the state law and we have the Committee Members have asked members of the our legal office and also for those who are working on the policy to review our policy and look at it things we might do that would be beyond what the state law may do either if it stays the same or changes this is something that should probably that would come to the full board we asked this policy review which is in a section we havent done a fuel review some of the sections we have done but ask this be put and topoftheline the review of the vaccination policy not necessarily waiting until the whole section is reviewed and so well be subtract meetings maybe march 18 i dont know how prepared recommendations from the Health Programs and our legal offers about what things to do and some of those suggestions were are we were notable, of course i dont think to publish the names of students not vaccinated but be able to we might be able to have a policy that said if there were Health Emergencies like the miles outbreak if you have a perm belief you cant sit in the Council School or things of that nature so this is a serious issue and one the commissioners should weigh in on i ask you to urge you to come to the moot on the 18 in my opinion it is like first of all we recommend changing the policy that comes to the board it would have to come to the board but noement prior to that whatever input in the progress we urge you to speak to us or come to the month to month.
